Com’è triste Venezia
Soltanto un anno dopo
Com’è triste Venezia
Se non si ama più
Si cercano parole che nessuno dirà
E si vorrebbe piangere
Ma ormai non si può più
Com’è triste Venezia
Se nella barca c’è
Soltanto un gondoliere
Che guarda verso te
E non ti chiede niente
Perché negli occhi tuoi
E nella mente tua
C’è soltanto lei
Com’è triste Venezia
Soltanto un anno dopo
Com’è triste Venezia
Se non si ama più
I musei e le chiese
Si aprono per noi
Ma non lo sanno
Che ormai tu non ci sei
Troppo triste Venezia
Di sera la laguna
Se si cerca una mano
Che non si trova più
Si fa dell’ironia
Davanti a quella luna
Che un dì ti ha vista mia
E non ti vede più
Addio gabbiani in volo
Che un giorno salutaste
Due punti neri al suolo
Addio anche da lei
Com’è triste Venezia
Soltanto un anno dopo
Com’è triste Venezia
Se non si ama più

Rock & Roll Music
Rock & Roll Music
Composer(s): Chuck Berry
Performer(s): Chuck Berry;
and various other artists
Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I've got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And lose the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony
That's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks
So she can hear my man awail a sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man, they were blowin' like a hurrican'
That's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Way down South they had a jubilee
The jokey folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home brew from a water cup
The folks dancin' there are all shook up
And started playin' that that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
And In The Mood they take a mambo
It's way to early for a congo
So keep a rockin' that piano
That's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

The Treasure Of Love
The Treasure Of Love
Composer(s): Joeseph Shapiro - Lou Stallman
Performer(s): Clyde McPhatter
and multiple other artists
The treasure of love is easy to find
It's waiting for you if your heart isn't blind
The treasure of love is not very far
It glows like a fire and it shines like a star
It's stronger than diamonds
Worth more than gold
For this is a treasure that never grows old
The treasure of love is found on no chart
To find where it is just look in your heart

É tão triste Veneza
No tempo da saudade
É tão triste Veneza
Se o amor terminou
Busca-se carinho
Encontra-se tristeza
A curva do caminho
Tua sombra apagou
É tão triste Veneza
Quando ouço no ar
Barcarolas que vem
Minha dor realçar
O coração se aperta
Quando as gôndolas passam
Acobertando amantes
Que felizes se abraçam
É tão triste Veneza
No tempo da saudade
É tão triste Veneza
Se o amor terminou
Os museus, as igrejas
Abrem em vão suas portas
Mostrando belezas
Inúteis e mortas
É tão triste Veneza
A noite olhando o mar
Quando se está sozinho
E não se quer chorar
E quando se ironiza
O que ficou pra traz
Querendo esquecer
O que não se tem mais
Adeus, todos os pombos
Que foram tão amigos
Ponte dos Suspiros
Adeus, sonhos perdidos
É tão triste Veneza
No templo da saudade
É tão triste Veneza
Se o amor terminou

Rock & Roll Lullaby
Rock & Roll Lullaby
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): B.J. Thomas;
and various other artists
She was just sixteen and all alone when I came to be
So we grew up together, my mama-child and me
Now things were bad and she was scared but whenever I would cry
She'd calm my fear and dry my tears
With a rock and roll lullaby
And she'd sing
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, it'll be all right
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, just hold on tight
Sing it to me, mama
My, my, my, my mama
Sing it sweet and clear, oh mama let me hear
That old rock and roll lullaby
We made it through the lonely days but, Lord, the nights were long
And we'd dream of better mornin's when mama sang a song
Now I can't recall the words at all, it don't make sense to try
'cause I just knew lotsa love came through
In that rock and roll lullaby
And she'd sing
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, it'll be all right
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, just hold on tight
I can hear ya, mama
My, my, my, my mama
Nothin' moves my soul like the sound of the good old
Rock and roll lullaby

Travels of Jaimie McPheeters
Travels of Jaimie McPheeters
Performer(s): The Osmonds
From mountains high to valleys low, they speak the name of Jamie-O
Who with his pa, went searching for that gold in old California
By riverboat and wagon train, old Doc McPheeters crossed the plains
And told his son, keep moving on there's gold in old California
Go westward ho, young Jamie-O and you'll find fortune and fame
And to this day when tales are told of pioneers a thousand fold
McPheeters' name still shines like gold from Maine to old California
Go westward ho, young Jamie-O, and you'll find fortune and fame
And to this day when tales are told of pioneers a thousand fold
McPheeters' name still shines like gold from Maine to old California
From Maine to old California

Come Tomorrow (Townes Van Zandt)
Come Tomorrow
Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt
First release by: Townes Van Zandt
If the song of the songbird
Could replace my wrong word
Then my dear, that's the song I would borrow
And tonight you would hear
The saddest song of the year
And you'd be mine once again come tomorrow
If the song of the swallow
Could reveal my sorrow
Then my dear, he would sing just for you
And tonight you would hear
The saddest song of the year
And you'd be mine once again come tomorrow
Just tonight, while in flight
On your windowsill daylight
To tell you all of my tears
And tonight you would hear
The saddest song of the year
And you'd be mine once again come tomorrow
If the song of the swallow
Could reveal my sorrow
Then my dear, he would sing just for you
And tonight you would hear
The saddest song of the year
And you'd be mine once again come tomorrow
And tonight you would hear
The saddest song of the year
And you'd be mine once again come tomorrow
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, Mr. Songbird
Come on & sing just one, little swallow
& make her mine once again come tomorrow

'Cause I see an ancient rhythm
In a man's genetic code
Gonna keep on rock and rollin
Fill my genes explode

This is my rock and roll love letter to you
This is my rock and roll love letter to you
Gonna rock it, gonna seel it, gonna slake it away
Send me back one, send me back on someday

Come Tomorrow (Barbra Streisand & Barry Gibb)
Come Tomorrow
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Ashley Gibb; Stephen Gibb
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand & Barry Gibb
Are you ready for the day that we pray for?
Already holding what is real
You know the soul finds its own evolution
And this is the only love I feel
And I tell you...
I'm keeping up the strength
I gotta try
'Cause you ain't getting past
This heart of mine
I'm out here waiting for you
With all I've got to give
And I accept this life we live
I'll be your lover and I'll be your friend
I'm gonna follow you right to the end
I wasn't made to tell you lies
I only came to make you realize
I'll be your hero and I'll be your clown
You pick me up... you let me down
Don't make me stumble, don't make me wait
'Cause come tomorrow, will be too late
Come tomorrow (repeat)
I got to turn away my face
'Cause you blind me with your light
Can you catch up to me?
You know I love you in the black of night
This sacred ritual
This journey has begun
And we try...we try to carry on
And you innocents
You get to find the things in life
That get you through
(One more dance)
And deep inside the things you are
No one ever knew
(One last chance)
Let me make it happen
This world we have forseen
And I will tell you how I feel
Love will be better for wearing your ring
I'm gonna give you everything
I wasn't made to tell you lies
I only came to make you realize
I'll be your hero and I'll be your clown
You pick me up, you let me down
Don't make me stumble, don't make me wait
'Cause come tomorrow will be too late
Come tomorrow (repeat)

Baby I'm a knockin'
So you better get your rockin' boots on
You better ask your daddy for the caddy
And we'll motor on
Drive on baby to an all-night diner
Jive on baby we're in Carolina
Baby we're rollin' on
Wonderin' where we're gone
Reelin' and a rockin'
On a rock and roll honeymoon
Rock and roll honeymoon
Better get a preacher
And I'll meet you when the school bell ring
We ain't got the money for a twenty carat diamond ring
But what do you think about a midnight rider
Comin' on strong with an all night liner
Baby it's me and you
You know we can do it too
Reelin' and a rockin'
On a rock and roll honeymoon
Rock and roll honeymoon
Rock it out, rock it out
Rock it out, rock it out
Baby we're rollin on
Wonderin' where we've gone
Reelin' and a rockin'
On a rock and roll honeymoon
Rock and roll honeymoon
Baby it's me and you
You know we can do it too
Reelin' and a rockin'
On a rock and roll honeymoon

The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine
The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine
Composer(s): Harry Carroll - Ballard Macdonald
Performer(s): Albert Campbell & Henry Burr
and multiple other artists
On a mountain in Virginia
Stands a lonesome pine
Just below is the cabin home
Of a little girl of mine
Her name is June, and very, very soon
She'll belong to me
For I know she's waiting there for me
'Neath that lone pine tree
I can hear the tinkling waterfall
Far among the hills
Bluebirds sing each so merrily
To his mate in rapture trills
They seem to say "Your June is lonesome too"
Longing fills her eyes
She is waiting for you patiently
Where the pine tree sighs
In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
On the trail of the lonesome pine
In the pale moon shine our hearts entwine
Where she carved her name and I carved mine
Oh, June, like the mountains I'm blue
Like the pine I am lonesome for you
In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
On the trail of the lonesome pine

He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

Got to be good-looking 'cause you're so hard to see

Rock & Roll Heaven
Composer(s): Alan O'Day; John Stevenson
Performer(s): The Righteous Brothers
Chorus:
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band
Jimi gave us rainbows
And Janis took a piece of our hearts
And Otis brought us all to the dock of a bay
Sing a song to light my fire
Remember Jim that way
They've all found another place, another place to play
Chorus
Remember bad bad Leroy Brown
Hey Jimmy touched us with that song
Time won't change a friend we came to know
And Bobby gave us Mack the Knife
Well look out, he's back in town
They'll all be there together
When they meet in one big show
Chorus
There's a spotlight waiting
No matter who you are
Cuz everybody's got a song to sing
Everyone's a star
(Everybody's got to be a star)

Tracks Of My Tears
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson - Warren Moore - Marvin Tarplin
First release by: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
People say I'm the life of the party
'cause I tell a joke or two
Although I may be laughin' loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you
If you see me with another girl
Actin' like I'm havin' fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Girl you're the permanent one
Ah, take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
Now look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Outside, I'm masquerading
Inside, my heart is fading
I'm just a clown
Since you put me down
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my breakup with you
Baby, baby, take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
Just look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at this face
My smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Come To Your Window
Come To Your Window
Composer(s): Bob Lind
Performer(s): Cher; The Hard Times
I'm leaving in the quiet early morning
When night has left the sky
Before the dew is dry
But it's not like it used to be
I'm leaving you this warning
You're gonna live to see the day
You long for me
Come to your window
It ain't too late to come
Into your sight again
Don't make me believe you
Before you let me have
A chance to try again
Or I'll be gone before
You ever know you're losing me
I know I've made mistakes
That bought you sorrow
But baby, keep in mind
You're not right all the time
Don't let me go away
To face a new tomorrow
Back where you bought me from
When I was glad to come
Come to your window
Look down and see the teardrops
In my desperate eyes
Look how I need you
I got to find a way to make you realize
That you are casting out
The deepest love you'll ever know
Please don't close your ears
To what I'm saying
Before I ride away into the early day
I spent the lonesome evening hours praying
That you will change your mind
And try me one more time
Come to your window
Before our love comes crashing
Into pieces on the ground
Don't let it happen
I promise you this time
I'll never let you down
Give me a cause to come
To your lonesome arms again
Come to your window
Look down and see the teardrops
In my desperate eyes
Look how I need you
I got to find a way to make you realize
That you are casting out
The deepest love you'll ever know

Rock & Roll Doctor
Rock & Roll Doctor
Composer(s): Lowell George; Fred Martin
Performer(s): Little Feat; Chris Smither
There was a woman in Georgia didn't feel just right
She had fever all day and chills at night
Now things got worse, yes a serious bind
At times like this it takes a man with such style I cannot often find
A doctor of the heart and a doctor of mind
If you like country with a boogie beat he's the man to meet
If you like the sound of shufflin' feet he can't be beat
If you wanna feel real nice, just ask the Rock and Roll doctor's advice
It's just a country town but patients come
From Mobile to Moline from miles around
Nagodoches to New Orleans
In beat-up old cars or in limousines
To meet the doctor of soul, he's got his very own thing
Two degrees in be-bop, a PHD in swing
He's the master of rhythm he's a rock and roll king
If you like country with a boogie beat he's the man to meet (he's the man to meet)
If you like the sound of shufflin' feet he can't be beat (I say he can't be beat)
If you... If you wanna
If you wanna feel real nice, just ask the Rock and Roll doctor's advice
