Crystal
Crystal
Composer(s): Lindsay Buckingham - Stevie Nicks
Performer(s): Stevie Nicks
Do you always trust your first initial feeling
Special knowledge holds truth bears believing
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me thru the mountains
Thru the crystal-like clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea
How the faces of love have changed turning the pages
And I have changed oh, but you... you remain ageless
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me thru the mountains
Thru the crystal-like clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea

(I'm A) Road Runner
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier;
Brian Holland; Eddie Holland
Performer(s): Junior Walker & The All-Stars;
and various other artists
Money, who needs it
Let me live my life free and easy
Put my toothbrush in my hand
And let me be a travelin' man
Cause I'm a road runner, baby
I'm a road runner, baby
Can't stay in one place too long
I'm a road runner baby
You might look at me and I'll be gone
You can love me if you wanna
But I do declare
When I get restless
I got to move somewhere
I'm a road runner baby
Anywhere's my home
And love the life I live
And I'm gonna live the life I love
Road runner, baby
Don't want no woman to tie me down
Got to be free, baby
To roam around
All my life I've been like this
If you love me it's your own risk
When the dust hit my shoe
I got the urge to move
Says I'm a road runner baby
Got to keep on keepin' on
And I live the life I love
And I'm gonna love the life I live
Road runner, baby

Three Stars Will Shine Tonight
Three Stars Will Shine Tonight
Composer(s): Hal Winn - Jerrald Goldsmith - Pete Rugolo
Performer(s): Richard Chamberlain
Three stars will shine tonight
One for the lonely
That star will shine its light
Each time that someone sighs
Three stars for all to see
One for young lovers
That star was made to be
The sparkle in their eyes
And for the third star
Only one reason
A star you can wish on
To make dreams come true
High in the sky above
Three stars are shining
I hope that star of love
Will shine down on you
Three stars will shine tonight
One for the lonely
That star will shine its light
Each time that someone sighs

Three Ring Circus
Three Ring Circus
Composer(s): Bobby Eli - Vinnie Barrett
Performer(s): Blue Magic; Barry Biggs
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
Children of all ages
Welcome to the big top
See the ferocious lions
Thrill to the fabulous monkeys
Laugh along with the hilarious clowns
See them, life is a three ring circus
The whistle blows as he makes his rounds
He's seen every town west of Mississippi
He's just a face painted all in smiles
Jumpin' up and down and makin' people happy
Though deep inside a shadow grows
He could laugh and no one knows
There's a lonely man inside
Life is a three ring circus
All of the ups and downs of a carousel
That I know so well
Life is a three ring circus
Just one little ride on a merry-go-round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
He does the best like the minstrel did
Just to please the kids and keep the people laughing
But no one knows that beneath the clothes
And his turned up nose lies a lonely beggar
He needs the love he spreads around
Bu tin life he's just a clown
Till they bring the curtain down
Life is a three ring circus
All of the ups and downs of a carousel
That I know so well
Life is a three ring circus
Just one little ride on a merry-go-round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
He needs the love that can't be found
But you're just too blind to see
That the clown is really needy
Life is a three ring circus
All of the ups and downs of a carousel
That I know so well
Life is a three ring circus
Just one little ride on a merry-go-round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round

Questa Sera Come Sempre
Adapted from: Cryin' Time - 1964
Dutch Title: Jammer! - 1989
Composer(s): Buck Owens; Giuseppe Cassia
Performer(s): Lucio Dalla - 1966
Questa sera sei tornata come sempre
ma stasera io ti sento gia’ lontana
ho capito che per te non saro’ mai
tutto quello che sarai sempre per me
Questa sera tu mi guardi ma non mi parli
io lo so che mi vorresti dire addio
ma le lacrime che piango, amore mio
questa sera nei miei occhi non vedrai
Stringi pure le mie mani e non parlare
e’ una sera questa sera come tante
Anche quando ti vedro’ andare via
anche se domani non ritornerai
I ricordi che mi lasci in fondo al cuore
mi fanno sempre piu’ sentire solo
ogni sera quando arrivera’ quell’ora
che tornavi per restare con me
Questa sera sei tornata come sempre
ma stasera io ti sento gia’ lontana
ho capito che per te non saro’ mai
tutto quello che sarai sempre per me
Tutto quello che sarai sempre per me

(If Paradise Is) Half As Nice
(If Paradise Is) Half As Nice
Composer(s): Lucio Battisti; Jack Fishman
Performer(s): Amen Corner
If paradise is half as nice
As heaven that you take me to
Who needs paradise
I'd rather have you
They say paradise is up in the stars
But I needn't sigh because it's so far
Coz I know it's worth a heaven on earth
For me where you are
A look from your eyes, touch from your hand
And I seem to fly to some other land
When you are around my heart always pounds
Just like a brass band
If paradise is half as nice
As heaven that you take me to
Who needs paradise,
I'd rather have you
Oh yes I'd rather have you
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
If paradise is half as nice
As heaven that you take me to
Who needs paradise
I'd rather have you
Oh yes, I'd rather have you
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
They say paradise is up in the stars
But I needn't sigh because it's so far
Coz I know it's worth a heaven on earth
For me where you are
A look from your eyes, a touch from your hand
And I seem to fly to some other land
When you are around ...... Fade

The Three Ravens
The Three Ravens
(Traditional)
There were three ravens sat on a tree
Down a down, hey down, hey down
They were a black as black might be
With a down
The one of them said to his mate
"Where shall we our breakfast take?"
With a down, derry, derry, derry down, down
Down in yonder green field
Down a down, hey down, hey down
Their lies a knight slain under his shield
With a down
His hounds they lie down at his feet
So well they do their master keep
With a down, derry, derry, derry down, down
His hawks they fly so eagerly
Down a down, hey down, hey down
No other fowl dare him come nigh
With a down
Down there comes a fallow doe
As heavy with young as she might go
With a down, derry, derry, derry down, down
She lifted up his bloody head
Down a down, hey down, hey down
And kissed his wounds that were so red
With a down
She got him up upon her back
And carried him to earthen lake
With a down, derry, derry, derry down, down
She buried him before the prime
Down a down, hey down, hey down
She was dead herself ere even-song time
With a down
God send every gentleman
Such hawks, such hounds, and such leman
With a down, derry, derry, derry down, down

Oh, it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling Oooh
That it won't be long before it's crying time
Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder (fonder)
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger (stronger)
If I lived to be a hundred years old
Oh, it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling. Yeah now
That it won't be long before it's crying time
Now you say you've found someone that you love better (better)
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow ('morrow)
Crying time will start when you walk out the door
Oh, it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me

I can tell by the way you hold me darling
Alright now
That it won't be long before it's crying time
That it won't be long before it's crying time

(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want To Be Right
(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want To Be Right
Composer(s): Homer Banks;
Carl Hampton; Raymond Jackson
Performer(s): Bobby "Blue" Band;
and various other artists
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life
Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
Long as I got you by my side
I don't care what your people say
Your friends tell you there's no future
in loving a married man
If I can't see you when I want to
I'll see you when I can
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
Am I wrong to fall so deeply in love with you
knowing I got a wife and two little children
depending on me too
And am I wrong to hunger
for the gentleness of your touch
knowing I got somebody else at home
who needs me just as much
And are you wrong to fall in love
with a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
to the best thing I ever had
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
Are you wrong to give your love
to a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
to the best thing I ever had
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
I don't wanna be right
if it means sleeping alone at night
I don't wanna be right
if it means coming home at night
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna never, never, never be right

Performer(s): Lou Rawls
Three o’clock in the morning
We danced the whole night through
And daylight soon will be dawning

Dear, dancing here with you
It’s three o’clock in the morning
I said, and we danced the whole night through
And the daylight soon will be dawning, yeah
There’s one more dance with you
I said, that that melody it’s so, so entrancing, yeah
I could just go on and on
I said, I could just keep right on, right on dancing forever
Dear, dancing here with you
Melody is so entrancing
It seems to be made for us two
I could just keep right on
I could keep on dancing forever
Here, dancing here with you

Crying The Blues
Crying The Blues
Performer(s): Laura Rucker
I woke up this morning
Couldn’t even get outta my bed
I woke up this morning
Couldn’t even get outta my bed
Had the blues about my honey
Nearly killed me dead
So I cried all night and all that night before
So I cried all night and all that night before
Gonna change my way of living
Maybe I won’t have to cry no more
Never miss my water till my well runs dry
I said, I never miss my water till my well runs dry
And I never missed my baby till he said goodbye
Cried all night, all that night before
Yes I cried that night, all that night before
If my man comes back
Then I won’t have to cry no more
He went away, didn’t even say goodbye
He went away, didn’t even say goodbye
But that’s all right, mister, the day you ever made me cry
Bye bye

(I Want To Be) Seduced
(I Want To Be) Seduced
Composer(s): Gary Richard Tigerman; Dave Grusin
Performer(s): Mary Coughlan;
Peggy Lee; Leon Redbone
I wanna be seduced
Let a woman talk to me suggestively
Wanna know that she'd like me to be with her tomorrow morning
Drinkin' hot jasmine tea
I want her to make me laugh (ha ha ha)
Make a point about touching me when she talks (uhhmm ho ho hmm)
Leaving all the jealous guys in the place to mumble in their wine and gawk
I know it only happens when I'm napping
Nodding in a reverie
That I find myself a woman that understands about seducing me
I know it only happens when I'm napping
Nodding in a reverie
That I find myself a woman who understands about seducing
I'll dream about the moon until she'll introduce herself
I'm imagining a woman who understands seducing me
I want to be seduced, I want a woman to take me out to dinner for two
I want to see her eyes gettin' moody
Flirtin' with the thought of what flirtin' can lead to
I want to act real cool, have her think about gettin' little me in bed
Have a chat about Magna Charta, or Puerto Vallarta, or somethin' Gandhi said
I might demur politely, falter slightly, if she starts to fondle my knee
But I'm relatively certain I'd compromise if I know me
I want to be seduced, I want a wom-an to talk to me suggestively
I want to hear her say she'll be with me tomorrow morning
Drinking hot jasmine tea
I want her to make me laugh, make a point of touching me when she talks
Leaving all the jealous guys in the joint to mumble in their beer and gawk
I wanna be seduced
I wanna a woman to take me out to dinner for two
I'd like to see her eyes get moony
Flirting with the thought of what a little flirting outta to do
I'd like to be real cool
Let her figure out what I really mean
Instead of havin' a chat about African genesis, psychokinesis
Or something Stanislavsky said
I might demure politely
Or falter slightly
If she tries to fondle my knee
But I'm relatively certain that I'd come across if I know me
I know it only happens, when I'm napping, nodding in my reverie
That I ever find a woman who wouldn't mind seducing me
I know it only happens, when I'm napping, nodding in my reverie
That I ever find a woman who wouldn't mind seducing
Starting from the moment that we'd been introduced
That I ever find a woman who wouldn't mind seducing me

and multiple other artists
All my dreams are over, now I’m wide awake
With a lonesome feeling and a constant ache
Livin’ with my memories just for old times sake
Crying my heart out for you
Hope you’ll be more tender in your next affair
Trust you’ll think of me dear, when you’ve time to spare
Praying you’ll be happy is my only prayer
Crying my heart out for you
Your heart may ache you, friends may forsake you
Sometimes it happens that way
But I’m still for you, always adore you
I love you, I love you what more can I say
I was just a scholar, made for you to teach
Searching for a true love, one I couldn’t reach
Now I’m just a pebble on a lonely beach
Crying my heart out for you
