Seven Days (Dorothy Collins)
Seven Days
Composer(s): Willis Carroll; Carmen Taylor
Performer(s): Dorothy Collins
and multiple other artists
Seven days, seven days
And there’s not a word from you
Seven days without love
Tell me, what am I to do
Seven days I have cried
How I long to feel your touch
Why d’ya go, why d’ya stray
When I love you oh so much
The phone won’t ring at all
The clock is standing still
My tears are like the raindrops
Upon my window sill
Seven days, seven days
I have walked the floor for you
Seven days, seven days
Won’t you please say you’re still true
The phone won’t ring at all
The clock is standing still
My tears are like the raindrops
Upon my window sill
Seven days, seven days
I have been in misery
Seven days, seven days
Won’t you please come back to me
My darling, please come back to me

Look Around
Look Around
Composer(s): Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman - A. Mattos - Sergio Mendes
Performer(s): Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66
All the secrets of the skies in a drop of rain
Look around, look around
All the silver and surprise when you look around
just look around
All the wisdom of the sea in a grain of sand
Look around, just look around
Set the child within you free
when you look around, just look around
That cloud's a bird flying through the air
That happy leaf's going to the fair
It's all there, it's all there
All the innocence of spring in a blade of grass
Look around, just look around
Let the child within you sing when you look around
just look around
All the wisdom of the sea in a grain of sand
Look around, just look around
Set the child within you free
when you look around, just look around
That cloud's a bird flying through the air
That happy leaf's going to the fair
It's all there, it's all there
All the innocence of spring in a blade of grass
Look around, just look around
Let the child within you sing when you look around
just look around
Oh look around, just look around
stop and look around
just look around

Covered by multiple other artists
Seven days, seven more days she'll be comin'
I'll be waiting at the station for her to arrive
Seven more days, all I gotta do is survive
She been gone ever since I been a child
Ever since I seen her smile, I ain't forgotten her eyes
She had a face that could outshine the sun in the skies
I been good, I been good while I been waitin'
Maybe guilty of hesitatin', I just been holdin' on
Seven more days, all that'll be gone
There's kissing in the valley
Thieving in the alley
Fighting every inch of the way
Trying to be tender
With somebody I remember
In a night that's always brighter'n the day
Seven days, seven more days that are connected
Just like I expected, she'll be comin' on forth
My beautiful comrade from the north
There's kissing in the valley
Thieving in the alley
Fighting every inch of the way
Trying to be tender
With somebody I remember
In a night that's always brighter'n the day

Che cose?
Ce nell'aria qualcosa di freddo che inverno non e
Che cose?
Questa sera i bambini per strada non giocano piu
Non so perche l'allegria degli amici di sempre non mi diverte piu
uno mi ha detto che ...
Lontano dagli occhi, lontano dal cuore e tu sei lontana, lontana da me
Per uno che torna e ti porta una rosa mille si sono scordati di te
Lontano dagli occhi, lontano dal cuore e tu sei lontana, lontana da me
Ora so
che cose questo amaro sapore che resta di te quando tu sei lontana
e non so dove sei cosa fai dove vai
E so perche non so piu immaginare il sorriso che c'e negli occhi tuoi
quando non sei con me
Lontano dagli occhi, lontano dal cuore e tu sei lontana, lontana da me
Per uno che torna e ti porta una rosa mille si sono scordati di te
Lontano dagli occhi, lontano dal cuore e tu sei, sei lontana, lontana da me ...
Sei lontano dagli occhi, lontano dal cuore e tu sei, sei lontana, lontana da me ...

Covered by multiple other artists
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Monday's calling you too early when you're sound asleep
Bells are ringing by your bedside and out in the street
Usually Monday's long enough, but this is just the start
Tuesday's just the same as Monday without the surprising part
Wednesday's point of no return
When you've squandered all you've earned
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, seven day weekend
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, seven day weekend
This is all I'm thinking about as the days go by
Spend your life on holiday and even when I die
There could be but one inscription: "This was not his day"
If it isn't Thursday anymore, it must be Friday
I can't wait until I maybe
Get off work and see my baby

Look at me
I can see there's no love in your eyes
Though you try to pretend
Look at me
Aw, there's no need to explain how you're feeling

And when you go
I will try not to cry as you kiss me goodbye
You'll never know
How much I'll miss you so
If ever you're lonely
If ever you're blue
If ever you need me
I'm waiting for you
And though your love has gone
You're still the only one

I'll run straight to you
Now as you walk away
Remember what I say
If ever you're lonely
I'm lonely like you
In my heart
For some time I have known deep inside
You have somebody new
But my heart
Will still want you forever
Although it is broken in two You're not to blame
No, go be happy with her
And if one night you whisper my name
Come to my arms again
If ever you're lonely
If ever you're blue
If ever you need me
I'm waiting for you
And though your love has gone
You're still the only one
So if you're lonely I'll run straight to you, yeah

Seven Day Blues
Seven Day Blues
Performer(s): Ida Cox
Every Monday mornin', people just a worryful day
Every Monday mornin', people just a worryful day
I think about my daddy, who's many miles away
Every Tuesday mornin', whiskey is all I crave
Every Tuesday mornin', whiskey is all I crave
The blues and booze are goin' to carry me to my grave
Wednesdays and Thursdays I try to wear the blues away
Wednesdays and Thursdays I try to wear the blues away
But when you get 'em about your daddy, they really come to stay
Every Friday people, is always my bad luck day
Every Friday people, is always my bad luck day
That's the day my man packed up and went away
I woke up Saturday mornin', tryin' to find my man
I woke up Saturday mornin', tryin' to find my man
I ain't got nobody to lend me a helpin' hand

Porque é? que esta lágrima corre tão fria
e o inverno já foi
Porque é? que esta noite os meninos da rua
não vejo brincar
Não sei porquê a alegria dos amigos de sempre
não me diverte mais, e um me disse assim
Distante dos olhos, aos poucos esqueçes
o amor que não morre no teu coração
Mas há quem eu mande levar-te uma rosa
pergunta se estou me esquecendo de ti
Tão longe dos olhos, tão perto de mim
não há um caminho que não leve a ti
E já sei porque sempre esse amargo soluço eu tento esconder
quando penso que talvez alguém passe, te abraçe ... te fale de amor
Também porque não consigo lembrar o sorriso que existe em teu olhar
quando não estás aqui
Distante dos olhos, aos poucos esqueçes
o amor que não morre no teu coração
Mas há quem eu mande levar-te uma rosa
pergunta se estou me esquecendo de ti
Tão longe dos olhos, tão perto de mim
não há um caminho que não leve a ti
Mas há quem eu mande levar-te uma rosa
pergunta se estou me esquecendo de ti
Tão longe dos olhos, tão perto de mim
por todo caminho eu vou te encontrar

Seven Bridges Road
Seven Bridges Road
Composer(s): Steve Young
First release by: Steve Young - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
There are stars
In the Southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight
And moss in the trees
Down the Seven Bridges Road
Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild
Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn form here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the Seven Bridges Road
There are stars in the Southern sky
And if ever you decide
You should go
There is a taste of time sweetened honey
Down the Seven Bridges Road

My longin' lips could do

Seven Beers With The Wrong Kind Of Man
Seven Beers With The Wrong Kind Of Man
Performer(s): Bonnie Blue Eyes
Last night I strolled down to the tavern
To get me a glass of beer
And when I sat down at the table
A man came up and said "Dear
Come over and sit at my table
And I'll buy you beer by the can"
I made my mistake - last night when I drank
Seven beers with the wrong kind of man
This man was tall, dark and handsome
You could hang out your clothes on his line
He said he'd searched this world over
But he'd never seen beauty like mine
I fell for it hook, line and sinker
And then all the troubles began
From now on I think - I never will drink
Seven beers with the wrong kind of man
He asked me if I had a husband
I told him my name was still Miss
Was then that he leaned 'cross the table
He squeezed me and gave me a kiss
I couldn't resist his advances
The room seemed to spin 'round and then
He said "There's my wife - better run for your life
Or you'll not see daylight again"
Now I'm in the house of correction
His wife said I'd stolen her man
It's all on account of my drinkin'
Seven beers with the wrong kind of man
That big handsome brute said I "vamped" him
That I was the worst in the land
Now girls stop and think - before you go drink
Seven beers with the wrong kind of man

Longing For You
Longing For You
Composer(s): Walter Dana - Bernard Jansen
Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band
and multiple other artists
Longing, longing, longing for you
Longing, longing, lonely and blue
Daytime, night time, what can I do
I just keep on longing for you
You said you would love me forever
And I put my faith in your vow
So why don’t you make an endeavour
To come and be with me right now
Longing, longing, longing for you
Longing, longing, lonely and blue
Daytime, night time, what can I do
I just keep on longing for you
You phoned me to come to St. Louis
I soon got a bill for the call
But after I got to St. Louis
You left me and went to St. Paul
Longing, longing, longing for you
Longing, longing, lonely and blue
Daytime, night time, what can I do
I just keep on longing for you
We spent every cent of my money
And then you were gone out of sight
Though I should forget you My Honey
I’m longing to kiss you tonight
Longing, longing, longing for you
Longing, longing, lonely and blue
Daytime, night time, what can I do
I just keep on longing for you
I just keep on longing for you

Christmas Eve Can Kill You
Christmas Eve Can Kill You
Composer(s): Dennis Linde
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers; Suzie Adams
The winter's flaking snow is brushing through the pinewood trees
I stuck my hands down deep inside my coat
I think of years ago and half remembered Christmas trees
And faces that still warm me with their glow
The cold and empty evening hangs around me like a ghost
I listen to my footsteps in the snow
The sound of one man walkin' through the snow can break your heart
But stopping doesn't help, so on I'll go
And Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere
The icy air I'm breathin' is all that keeps me on my feet
I feel like I've been walking all my life
A car goes running by, the man don't even turn his head
Guess he's busy being Santa Claus tonight
The saddest part of all is knowing if I switched with him
I'd leave him stumblin' ragged by the road
I'd ride that highway to the arms of my sweet family
And forget about the stranger in the cold
And Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere
And as I walk I'm singin' to myself, Oh Silent Night
Hoping I can save those other souls
Oh, God forgive the man who drives right by the other man
Have pity on the stranger in the cold
'Cause Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere

The Longest Walk
The Longest Walk
Composer(s): Edward Pola - Fred Spielman
Performer(s): Jaye P. Morgan
and multiple other artists
I took the longest walk
In the world last night
From your arms to your front door
I heard the saddest words
In the world last night
When you said you loved me no more
I won't believe it's true
I'll keep after you
Till we love like we loved before
And then the longest walk
Will be the shortest walk
Back to your arms once more
And then the longest walk
Will be the shortest walk
Back to your arms once more
Back to your arms once more

Seule Comme Une Pomme
Seule Comme Une Pomme
Composer(s): A. Goldstein
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
seule comme une pomme
tombée par terre
sans ultimatum
tête à l'envers
l'amour qui s'déforme
qui vit chloroforme
dans l'décorum
toute seule en somme
s'accrochaient plus
nos millions d'atomes
correspond plus
à son critérium
atteint l'maximum
passé l'quorum
à coups d'magnum
s'faire des ulcères
au duodénum
fumer l'opium
au son d'l'harmonium
pas besoin d'médium
sûr qu'ça délirium
seule comme une pomme
tomber par terre
pour manque de calcium
crier pleurer
dans un aquarium
solitude assomme
chagrin en somme
sans post-scriptum
emmené ailleurs
son curriculum
laissé dans l'cœur
dans l'mémorandum
les photos l'album
ad-libitum
seule comme une pomme...

Longhaired Redneck
Longhaired Redneck
Composer(s): David Allan Coe - Jimmy Rabbit
Performer(s): David Allan Coe
Country DJ's knows that I'm an outlaw
They'd never come to see me in this dive
Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughen' at the hippies
Who are prayen' they'll get out of her alive
The loud mouth in the corners gett'en to me
Talking about my earrings and my hair
I guess he ain't read the sign that says I've been to prison
Someone aught to warn him, before I knock him off his chair
'Cause my long hair just can't cover up my redneck
I've won every fight I've ever faught
And I don't need some turkey telling me that I ain't country
Say'en I aint worth a damn old, ticket that he bought
'Cause I can sing all those songs about Texas
And I still do all the sad one's that I know
They tell me, I look like Merle Haggard
And sound alot like David Allen Coe
And the barmaid in the last town that we played in
Knew the words to every song I wrote
She said Jimmy Rabbit turned her on to my last album
Just about the time the jukebox broke
Ya Jonny Cash helped me get out of prison
Long before Rodriquez stole that goat
I've been a Rhinestone Cowboy for so long I can't remember
And I can do you every song Hank Williams ever wrote
And I can sing all those songs about Texas
And I still do all the sad one's that I know
I can't help it, I like Merle Haggard
And sound alot like David Allen Coe
The loud mouth in the corners gett'en to me
Talking about my earrings and my hair
I guess he ain't read the sign that says I've been to prison
Someone aught to warn him, before I knock him off his chair

Christmas Eve (Ringo Starr)
Christmas Eve
Composer(s): Richard Starkey - Mark Hudson
Performer(s): Ringo Starr
It's Christmas and you're not here
The snow is falling down, like my tears
I see your presents by the tree
I can't believe you're not with me
On Christmas, Christmas Eve
It's Christmas with stars above,
How many times has it been said, a time for love
And underneath the mistletoe
I'm standing here all alone
On Christmas, Christmas Eve
I hear your voice, I see your smile
You were my Christmas song
But now you're gone, now you're gone
It's Christmas, it seems so long
The lights are all around the tree but not turned on
I saw your footprints in the snow
I'd never thought you'd really go
On Christmas, Christmas Eve
It's Christmas
It's Christmas Eve

Long-Haired Lover From Liverpool
Long-Haired Lover From Liverpool
Performer(s): Jimmy Osmond; Mike Curb Congregation
I'll be your long-haired lover from Liverpool
And I'll do anything you say
I'll be your clown or your puppet or your April fool
If you'll be my sunshine daisy from LA
I'll be your leprechaun and sit upon an old toadstool
I'll serenade you till I'm old and grey
I'll be your long-haired lover from Liverpool
You'll be my sunshine daisy from LA
You'll be my lovely daisy on a mountainside
There are lots of other flowers too
But all the other flowers hung their heads and cried
Because the loveliest of all them was you
But you were evidently the exception to the rule
I picked you quickly then I ran away
'Cos I'm your long-haired lover from Liverpool
You are my sunshine daisy from LA
I'll be your long-haired lover from Liverpool
And I'll do anything you ask
I'll be your clown or your puppet or your April fool
Cut my hair, I'll even wear a mask
I'll be your Valentineand you'll be mine and things will be cool
We'll move along together every day
I'll be your long-haired lover from Liverpool
You'll be my sunshine daisy from LA
You'll be my sunshine daisy from LA
