My Little Persian Rose
My Little Persian Rose
Composer(s): Edgar Allan Woolf; Anatol Friedland
Performer(s): Peerless Quartet
I've seen flowers rare growing everywhere
but I've never seen a rose like you
From your haunt if I could tear you right up on my heart
I'd wear you and no one could ever share you, I would be so true
But roses are like love and they fade as fast
with all the storms that blow; love can't ever last
I'll shield you from all harms I'm mad about your charms
I'll hold you in my arms till all dangers passed
When the fall draws near and the world looks drear
and the roses start to droop and fade
I will wrap you completely in my loving arms so neatly
that you'll keep on blooming sweetly
so don't be afraid when winter comes along with its frost and snows
and an icy blanket then over the world it throws
Little "Bride-Rose" have no fear, for the spring will then be near
to bring us rosebuds, dear little Persian Rose
My little Persian Rose, nobody knows how I love you
Oh pretty flower, here in your bower, with love I'll shower you every hour
a garden just for two I'm sure will do for me and you, Dearie
I'm wild about you, can't live without you, my little Persian Rose

Got To Give It Up
Got To Give It Up
Composer(s): Marvin Gaye
Performer(s): Marvin Gaye;
and various other artists
I used to go out to parties
And stand around
'Cause I was too nervous
To really get down
And my body yearned to be free
So I got up on the floor and found
Someone to choose me
No more standin' along the side walls
Now I've got myself together, baby
And I'm havin' a ball
Long as you prove it
There's always a chance
Somebody watches
I'm gonna make romance
With your body, ooo baby, you dance all night
Get down and prove it, feel all right
Keep on dancin'
Got to give it up

Tell My Sister
Tell My Sister
Composer(s): Kate McGarrigle
Performer(s): Kate & Anna McGarrigle
Weather man on the radio
threatens rain maybe snow
He just forecasts he don't know
I need blue skies
I've got to go
I'm not a cowboy, I've never been shot
I'm not a convict I've never been caught
Tell my sister
To tell my mother
I'm coming home
Home alone
Sunday morning I boarded a plane
Leaving London England
In the pouring rain
Tell my sister
To tell my mother
I'm coming home
Home alone
Someday I'll be back again
To that green and pleasant land
Between the Channel and the sea
Across the ocean, that's where I want to be
But until the, tie me to the ground
I've got to let these weary bones rest
From all that runnin' around
Tell my sister
To tell my mother
I'm coming home
Home alone

My Little One
My Little One
Composer(s): Gussin; Howe
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
My little one, as the years go by
There may be times when your heart will cry
And if you’re in need of a word of cheer
You can always turn to me
My little one, though I love you so
There’ll come a day I must let you go
But you have my love for eternity
Little one, you are everything to me
My darling, I love you so much
So much, there’s nothing in the world
Nothing that I wouldn’t do for you
And it gives me such a wonderful feeling
To know your mind fills me with more happiness
Than I’ve ever known before
And each night as you slip off to dreamland
I thank heaven for giving me you
My little one, though I love you so
There’ll come a day I must let you go
But you have my love for eternity
Little one, you are everything to me

Got To Get You Off My Mind
Got To Get You Off My Mind
Composer(s): Solomon Burke;
Delores Burke; Fleecie Moore
Performer(s): Solomon Burke;
and various other artists
Got to get you off of my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
You've found somebody new
And our romance is through
Yes it is
Gonna throw your picture away
You didn't want my love, any old way
You've found somebody new
And our romance is through
Yes it is
Some folks love is hard and strong
That's the kind of love that lingers on
Some folks love is swift and fast
That's the kind of love that'll never last
We had a love that was in between
And to me it was like a dream
If we had stayed together till June
Not a problem, bride and groom
That's why
Got to get you off of my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
You've found somebody new
And our romance is through
Listen to me
Got to get you off of my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
Got to get you off of my mind
I know it's just a matter of time

A Media Luz
A Media Luz
((English Version: Tell Me, Marianne (Victor Sylvester & His Ballroom Orch.))
Composer(s): Carlos Cesar Lenzl - Edgardo Donato - E. Lengui
Performer(s): Carlos Gardel; Julio Iglesias
Corrientes tres cuatro ocho, segundo piso, ascensor
No hay porteros ni vecinos, adentro cocktel de amor
Pisito que puso Maple, piano, estera y velador
Un telefón que contesta, una fonola que llora
Viejos tangos de mi flor y un gato de porcelana pa que
No maulle el amor
Y todo a media luz, que es un brujo el amor
A media luz los besos, a media luz los dos
Y todo a media luz, crepúsculo interior
Que suave terciopelo la media luz de amor
Juncal doce venticuatro, telefonea sin temor
De tarde té con masitas, de noche tango y amor
Los domingos té danzante, los lunes desolación
Hay de todo en la casita, almohadones y divanes como en botica
Coco, alfombras que no hacen ruido y mesa puesta al amor...

My Little Lady
My Little Lady
Composer(s): Blakley; Hawkes; Pace; Panzeri; Pilat
Performer(s): The Tremeloes
I think about my baby
a perfect little lady
I think about her shiny golden hair
I've never been a dreamer but every time I see her
I start to float away into the air
Oh, oh, my little lady
You can make the sun and moon begin to shine
and if you could have your way every day would be fine
It's no wonder for as long as I may live
I will give you all the love I am able to give
I wake up in the morning without a single warning
before I finish yawning she is there
I think about my baby
a perfect little lady
I think about her shiny golden hair
Oh, oh, my little lady
You can make the sun and moon begin to shine
and if you could have your way every day would be fine
It's no wonder for as long as I may live
I will give you all the love I am able to give
You can make the sun and moon begin to shine
and if you could have your way every day would be fine
It's no wonder for as long as I may live
I will give you all the love I am able to give
La la la la la ...
You can make the sun and moon begin to shine

Got To Get You Into My Life
Got To Get You Into My Life
French Title: Je Te Veux Graver Dans Ma Vie
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles
I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
You didn't run, you didn't lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone you knew in time we'd meet again
For I had told you
Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you hear me
Say we'll be together every day
Got to get you into my life
What can I do, what can I be
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life
I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there
Then suddenly I see you
Did I tell you I need you...

French Title: Ma Petite Muse
Composer(s): Jeanine Deckers
Performer(s): Jeanine Deckers (aka The Singing Nun)
My little inspiration is You oh Lord
Your happiness melts in my heart
My little inspiration is You oh Lord
You fill me with happiness
The meadows all offer me a thousand flowers
All the Clairs de Lunes have heart shaped lips
The city streets all smile at the sun
All of man's joys are the color of heaven
The stars all wink their eyes at me
The rainy days have all stopped mourning
All the evenings fall asleep
to the lullaby of the birches
All the mornings drink of Your May wine

Composer(s): Eric Clapton
Performer(s): Derek & The Dominos
Don't you know what's wrong with me?
I'm seeing things I don't want to see
Sniffing things that ain't no good for me
I'm going down fast, won't you say a prayer for me?
It's got to get better in a little while
It's got to get better in a little while
It's got to get better in a little while
It's got to get better in a little while
The sun's got to shine on my guitar someday
Revolution all across the land
Just like Sly, you got to take a stand
Please don't hurt nobody, don't knock them down
Give them a helping hand to get off the ground
Chorus
The sun's got to shine on my guitar someday
Still one thing that you can do
Fall down on your knees and pray
I know the Lord's gonna answer you
Don't do it tomorrow, do it today
Chorus Ad Infinitum

My Little Gypsy Wanda
My Little Gypsy Wanda
Composer(s): Robert Levenson; Ted Garton
You wandered straight into my heart
when first I saw you smile
I hoped and prayed that you'd stay there
to love me all the while
The gypsy life has called to you
You've wandered back again
And now my heart juat longs for you
Must I call you all in vain
My little gypsy Wanda
Won't you wander back to me
For I still long for you after all of these years
And I still sit and watch for you through my tears
You've wandered and wandered all over the earth
You know just how much a home can be worth
My little gypsy Wanda
Won't you wander back home to me
I often wonder how it came
that my song reached your ears
I hardly thought you'd come back home
it's been so many years
But God was good, he gave me you
My pray'rs were not in vain
So just for old times' sake, sweetheart
I will sing that song again
My little gypsy Wanda
Won't you wander back to me
For I still long for you after all of these years
And I still sit and watch for you through my tears
You've wandered and wandered all over the earth
You know just how much a home can be worth
My little gypsy Wanda
Won't you wander back home to me

Tell me when you feel a little blue
Tell me then I'll see what I can do
Just say the word and I'll be there
Anywhere, with lots of love to share

Your lips are sweet and if we ever get to meet
I know, I know, I'm never gonna let you go
So, tell me when you've got a little time
Tell me when you're ready to be mine
I'll never fall in love again
So, if you want my love, won't you tell me when

I want to go back to my little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawaii

I can hear the Hawaiians saying
Komo mai no kaua i ka hale welakahao
It won't be long till my ship will be sailing back to Kona
A grand old place that's always fair to see,
I'm just a little Hawaiian like a homesick island boy
I want to go back to my fish and poi
I want to go back to my little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawaii
Were the humu humu nuku nuku apua
Go swimming by

Tell Me What You See In Me
Tell Me What You See In Me
Composer(s): Dave Cousins
Performer(s): Sandy Denny & The Strawbs
My ship sails in
On a cloud of broken promises
It's just not true
Not a single word she says
Time will tell
Whether I can change my ways
It might take years
It might even take always
Tell me what you see in me
And I'll tell you what I see in you
Your picture melts
Before my tired eyes
And all it leaves
Is just a trace of paradise
You'll change again
That's what I've been told
But don't take long
Or I might get too old
Take it easy
But take it slow
For who knows which way next
That wind will blow
Time goes by
Just as quickly as I want it to
And I'll make out
Like I never knew
