My Father's Eyes (Eric Clapton)
My Father's Eyes
Composer(s): Eric Clapton
Performer(s): Eric Clapton;
Phil Driscoll; Steve Fishell
Sailing down behind the sun
Waiting for my prince to come
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again
Just a toerag on the run
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes
My father's eyes
When I look in my father's eyes
My father's eyes
Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies
And as I watch this seedling grow
Feel my heart start to overflow
Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That's when I need them
That's when I need my father's eyes
My father's eyes
That's when I need my father's eyes
My father's eyes
Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears
I'm like a bridge that was washed away
My foundations were made of clay
As my soul slides down to die
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me
I looked into my father's eyes
My father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes
My father's eyes
My father's eyes
My father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes
My father's eyes

Teardrops (George Harrison)
Teardrops
Composer(s): George Harrison
Performer(s): George Harrison
Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain
In the heart of the lonely man
In and out of love more often where most others can
He walks the streets like the losers in some lovers' game
He talks so sweet but the news is always much the same
Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain
In the eyes of the lonely one
Everything is cold and hopeless that he looks upon
He needs a friend a lover who can comfort him
His deeds offend he knows that he has brought on him
Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain

My Father
My Father
Composer(s): Judy Collins
Originally performed by: Judy Collins
Covered by various other artists
My father always promised me
That we would live in France
We'd go boating on the Seine
And I would learn to dance
We lived in Ohio then
He worked in the mines
On his dreams like boats
We knew we would sail in time
All my sisters soon were gone
To Denver and Cheyenne
Marrying their grownup dreams
The lilacs and the man
I stayed behind the youngest still
Only danced alone
The colors of my father's dreams
Faded without a sound
And I live in Paris now
My children dance and dream
Hearing the ways of a miner's life
In words they've never seen
I sail my memories of home
Like boats across the Seine
And watch the Paris sun
As it sets in my father's eyes again
My father always promised us
That we would live in France
We'd go boating on the Seine
And I would learn to dance
I sail my memories of home
Like boats across the Seine
And watch the Paris sun
As it sets in my father's eyes again

(Chorus)

We've got something that will knock you off your feet, now

Bring your money gal, it is easy done

Tear Drops
Tear Drops
Composer(s): Edwin Charles - Helen Stanley - Roy Calhoun
Performer(s): Lee Andrews & The Hearts; Debbie Harry
I sit in my room looking out at the rain
My tears are like crystals, they cover my window pane
I'm thinking of our lost romance and how it should have been
Oh if we only could start over again
I know you never forgive me dear, for running out on you
I was wrong to take a chance with somebody new
I sit in my room looking out at the rain
My tears are like crystals, they cover my window pane
I know you never forgive me dear, for running out on you
Oh I long to do the things we used to do
I'm lonely and I'm blue yet I'll try to get along
Without you
Teardrops, teardrops, teardrops
I have to gain faith, hope and charity
God only knows the girl who will love me
Oh if we only could start over
Again

Without You (Julie Andrews)
Without You
(Dutch Version: Zonder Jou)
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Julie Andrews
and multiple other artists
Eliza:
What a fool I was!
What a dominated fool!
To think you were the earth and sky
What a fool I was! What an addle-pated fool!
What a mutton-headed dolt was I!
No, my reverberating friend
You are not the beginning and the end!
There'll be spring every year without you
England still will be here without you
There'll be fruit on the tree
And a shore by the sea
There'll be crumpets and tea
Without you
Art and music will thrive without you
Somehow Keats will survive without you
And there still will be rain
On that plain down in Spain
Even that will remain without you
I can do without you
You, dear friend, who talk so well
You can go to Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire!
They can still rule the land without you
Windsor Castle will stand without you
And without much ado
We can all muddle through without you!
Without your pulling it, the tide comes in
Without your twirling it, the earth can spin
Without your pushing them, the clouds roll by
If they can do without you, ducky, so can I!
I shall not feel alone without you
I can stand on my own without you
So go back in your shell
I can do bloody well
Without you!

Good Time Music
Good Time Music
Composer(s): John Sebastian
Performer(s): The Lovin' Spoonful;
and various other artists
I've been listening to my radio
For two or three years
And the music they've been playing is so doggone bad
That it's offendin' to my ears
But them kids come over from the Mersey river
Made us think back 'til then
So let's put on our shoes
And think about the blues
And start all over again
With that good time music
Like we played so long ago
Wo-oh don't you know oh-yeah
With that good time music
Yes, it's back on the radio
I don't want no cryin' violins
No sax or slide trombones
I don't want no screaming ya-ya girls
And no honkin' English horns
I don't want no symphony orchestra
With the Mormon Tabernacle Choir
All I want is a guitar, a harp, and drum
Just to set my soul on fire
With that good time music
Like we played so long ago
Wo-oh don't you know oh-yeah
With that good time music
Yes, it's back on the radio
I've been listening to my radio
For two or three years
And the music they've been playing is so doggone bad

And start all over again

You Did It
You Did It
Dutch Title: Fantastisch
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Rex Harrison & Robert Coote
and various other artists
Pickering:
Tonight, old man, you did it!
You did it! You did it!
You said that you would do it
And indeed you did
I thought that you would rue it
I doubted you'd do it
But now I must admit it
That succeed you did
You should get a medal
Or be even made a knight
Henry:
It was nothing
Really nothing
Pickering:
All alone you hurdled
Ev'ry obstacle in sight
Henry:
Now, wait! Now, wait!
Give credit where it's due
A lot of the glory goes to you
Pickering:
But you're the one who did it
Who did it, who did it!
As sturdy as Gibraltar
Not a second did you falter
There's no doubt about it
You did it!
I must have aged a year tonight
At times I thought I'd die of fright
Never was there a momentary lull
Henry:
Shortly after we came in
I saw at once we'd easily win
And after that I found it deadly dull
Pickering:
You should have heard the ooh's and ah's
Ev'ry one wondering who she was
Henry:
You'd think they'd never seen a lady before
Pickering:
And when the Prince of Transylvania
Asked to meet her
And gave his arm to lead her to the floor...!
I said to him: You did it!
You did it! You did it!
They thought she was ecstatic
And so damned aristocratic
And they never knew
That you
Did it!
Henry:
Thank Heavens for Zoltan Karparthy
If it weren't for him I would have died of boredom
He was there, all right
And up to his old tricks
Mrs. Pearce:
Karparthy? That dreadful Hungarian? Was he there?
Henry:
Yes
That blackguard who uses the science of speech
More to blackmail and swindle than teach
He made it the devilish business of his
"To find out who this Miss Doolittle is"
Ev'ry time we looked around
There he was, that hairy hound
From Budapest
Never leaving us alone
Never have I ever known
A ruder pest
Fin'lly I decided it was foolish
Not to let him have his chance with her
So I stepped aside and let him dance with her
Oozing charm from ev'ry pore
He oiled his way around the floor
Ev'ry trick that he could play
He used to strip her mask away
And when at last the dance was done
He glowed as if he knew he'd won!
And with a voice to eager
And a smile too broad
He announced to the hostess
That she was a fraud!
Mrs. Pearce:
No!
Henry:
Jawohl!
Her English is too good, he said
Which clearly indicates that she is foreign
Whereas others are instructed in their native language
English people aren't
And although she may have studied with an expert
Di'lectician and grammarian
I can tell that she was born Hungarian!
Not only Hungarian, but of royal blood, she is a princess!
Servants:
Congratulations, Professor Higgins
For your glorious victory!
Congratulations, Professor Higgins!
You'll be mentioned in history!
Rest of Servants (Simultaneously):
Congratulations
Professor Higgins!
For your glorious
Victory!
Congratulations
Professor Higgins!
Sing hail and hallelujah!
Ev'ry bit of credit
For it all belongs to you!
Footman (Simultaneously with Rest of Servants):
This evening, sir, you did it!
You did it! You did it!
You said that you would do it
And indeed you did
This evening, sir, you did it!
You did it! You did it!
We know that we have said it
But-you did it and the credit
For it all belongs to you!

Composer(s): Danny O'Keefe
Performer(s): Elvis Presley;
and various other artists
Everybody's gone away
Said they're movin to L.A.
There's not a soul I know around
Everybody's leavin' town
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Find the sunshine, leave the rain
They said this town were a waste of time
I guess they're right, it's wasting mine
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues
You know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at thirty-three
Play around you'll lose your wife
You play too hard you'll lose your life
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues

Teachers
Teachers
((Italian Version: Maestri (Claudio Daiano) - 1974))
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
First release by: Leonard Cohen - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
I met a woman long ago
Her hair the black that black can go
Are you a teacher of the heart
Soft she answered no
I met a girl across the sea
Her hair the gold that gold can be
Are you a teacher of the heart
Yes but not for thee
I met a man who lost his mind
In some lost place I had to find
Follow me the wise man said
But he walked behind
I walked into a hospital
Where none was sick and none was well
When at night the nurses left
I could not walk at all
Morning came
And then came noon
Dinner time the scalpel blade
Lay beside my silver spoon
Some girls wander by mistake
Into the mess that scalpels make
Are you the teachers of my heart
We teach old hearts to break
One morning I woke up alone
The hospital, the nurses gone
Have I carved enough, my lord
Child, you are bone
I ate and ate and ate
No, I did not miss a plate
Well, how much do these suppers cost
We’ll take it out in hate
I spent my hatred every place
On every work on every face
Someone gave me wishes
And I wished for an embrace
Several girls embraced me
Then I was embraced by men
Is my passion perfect
No, do it once again
I was handsome, I was strong
I knew the words of every song
Did my singing please you
No, the words you sang were wrong
Who is it whom I address
Who takes down what I confess
Are you the teachers of my heart
We teach old hearts to rest
Well, teachers are my lessons done
I cannot do another one
They laughed and laughed and said
Well, child are your lessons done
Are your lessons done
Are your lessons done

My thoughts in the rain
I walk all alone

I am happy that is all I know

Teacher
Teacher
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Well the dawn was coming
heard him ringing on my bell
He said, "My name's the teacher
that is what I call myself
And I have a lesson
that I must impart to you
It's an old expression
but I must insist it's true
Jump up, look around, find yourself some fun
no sense in sitting there hating everyone
No man's an island and his castle isn't home
the nest is for nothing when the bird has flown"
So I took a journey
threw my world into the sea
With me went the teacher
who found fun instead of me
Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said?
Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed
I try to socialize but I can't seem to find
what I was looking for, got something on my mind
Then the teacher told me
it had been a lot of fun
Thanked me for his ticket
and all that I had done
Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said?
Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed
I try to socialize but I can't seem to find
what I was looking for, got something on my mind

My Eyes Adored You
My Eyes Adored You
Composer(s): Robert Crewe; Kelly Nolan
Performer(s): Andy Williams
My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far
Carried your books from school
Playing "make-believe you're married to me"
You were fifth-grade, I was sixth
When we came to be
Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay
Till we grew into the me and you
Went our separate ways
My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far
Headed for city lights
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
I worked my fingers to the bone
Made myself a name
Funny I seemed to find
That no matter how the years unwind
Still I reminisce 'bout the girl I miss
And the love I left behind
My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far
(My eyes adored you)
All my life I will remember
(Though I never laid a hand on you)
How warm and tender we were way back then, whoa, whoa, baby
(Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you)
Oh, the feeling, sad regrets
(So close, so close and yet so far)
I know I won't ever forget you, my childhood friend
(My eyes adored you)
(Though I never laid a hand on you)
(My eyes adored you)
(Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you)
So close, so close and yet so far

Teach Your Children
Teach Your Children
Composer(s): Graham Nash
First release by: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
You, who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so, become yourself
Because the past is just a goodbye
Teach your children well
Their father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick, the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you
And you, of tender years
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by
And so please help them with your youth
They seek the truth before they can die
Teach your parents well
Their children's hell will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick, the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you...
