There is someone walking behind you

I Will Remember


I Will Remember
Composer(s): Steve Lukather; Stan Lynch
Performer(s): Toto



I was born in the land of the sun
And the tall green grass
And I don’t understand
How all this has come to pass

That we’ve come to surround ourselves
In a sea of thieves
In a land without learning
Only the fools believe

I went drivin’ last night
On a dark canyon road
Had the sky to myself
But I wasn’t alone

Had the pain of my lifetime
For my company
How did it end up like this
For you and me

When love breaks the promise, the heart has to keep
It leaves only truth here to find
When the spirit is crushed and the hurt is so deep
Between you and I

Even when love has come and gone
And our hearts have moved along
I will remember
There was a time we had the trust
And that always was enough
I will remember
I will remember you

As I open my eyes
To one more day
The wind burns my face
As it whispers your name

As it’s pulling me forward
It tears me free
And the only thing left
Is the tears for and me

‘Cause when love breaks the promise, the heart has to keep
It leaves only truth here to find
When the spirit is crushed and hurt is so deep
Between you and I

Even when love has come and gone
And our hearts have moved along
I will remember
There was a time we had the trust
And that always was enough
I will remember

Even when love has come and gone
And our hearts have moved along
I will remember
There was a time we had the trust
And that always was enough
I will remember
I will remember you

No, no, no

Komm, Senorita, Komm


Komm, Senorita, Komm ((French & Italian Versions: L'arlequin De Tolède (by Dalida); L'arlecchino Gitano (by Dalida)) Composer(s): Hubert Giraud - Jean Dréjac - Bader Performer(s): Dalida



Hell schien der mond von Granada
Auf die sierra nevada
Da kam aus estramadore
Ein verliebter senore
Er spielt so schön mandoline
Für seine kolombine
Und durch die nacht von Granada
Klang seine Serenada

Komm senorita komm nach Estramador
Da senorita träumen wir von amore
Denn senorita denn in Estramadore
Sag ich beim mondenschein
Meine ganze welt ist dein

Kaum war die weise verklungen
Die der senor gesungen
Rief die Mama Kolombine
Wer spielt da mandoline
Da grüsste mit dem sombrero
Höflich der caballero
Und durch die nacht immer wieder
Sang er das Lied der lieder

Komm senorita komm nach Estramador
Da senorita träumen wir von amore
Denn senorita denn in Estramadore
Sag ich beim mondenschein
Meine ganze welt ist dein

Nacht für nacht sang vor dem tore
Der verliebte Senore
Und die Mama konnt' dem flehen
Nun nicht mehr widerstehen
Da gab's im land der geranien
Kein schönres paar in Spanien
Und überall in Granada
Sang man die serenada

Komm senorita komm nach Estramador
Da senorita träumen wir von amore
Denn senorita denn in Estramadore
Sag ich beim mondenschein
Meine ganze welt ist dein

Turn Around Walk Away


Turn Around Walk Away
Composer(s): Donnie Abercrombie - Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb & The Texas Troubadors



Don’t say a word
Turn Around
Walk Away
Don’t look back or I might beg you to stay

We both know just how it all will end
Because you’ve lyed to me time and time again

You know how you’ve hurt me in the past
How could a warm love like ours grow cold, so fast
You’ll only hurt me more if you stay
Don’t say a word
Turn Around
Walk Away

Don’t say a word
Turn Around
Walk Away

You don’t really want me anyway
You can even say that I left you
But, Turn Around
Walk Away
I beg of you

You know how you’ve hurt me in the past
How could a warm love like ours grow cold, so fast
You’ll only hurt me more if you stay
Don’t say a word
Turn Around
Walk Away

I Will Play A Rhapsody


I Will Play A Rhapsody
Composer(s): Burton Cummings
Performer(s): Burton Cummings; Marleigh Rouault; Mary Smith



What will you see? What will you be?
Anything you want to love is easy
How will you know if I am for you
You won't know me to see me, but you'll know by what I do

For I will play a rhapsody
Cleverly disguise it so it's not been heard before
And I will sing a lullaby
Let you know I'm near you through the night to keep you warm

How will you know where you should go
Anywhere you want to love is fast or love is slow
Falling through feelings and falling through time
You won't know me to see me but I'll come to you in rhyme

For I will play rhapsody
Cleverly disguise it so it's not been heard before
And I will sing a lullaby
Let you know I'm near you through the night to keep you warm

I will play a rhapsody

Ein Hoffen und ein Streben
Dein Blick bis in mein Zelt

Stranded alone on a sea of emotion
You found me
Your love was a light
In the darkness that shone
So profoundly
Say that you'll stay
Do not be afraid, afraid
You, you're my breath
The air I breathe
You are my imagination
Su le finesse
Song of my heart
Secrets I'm not afraid to whisper

Con te partiro
I'll go where you lead me
Wherever you are
(forever and ever we'll stay)
In love together
I will go with you
I'll go where you lead me
Forever true
(forever and ever we'll stay)
In love together

Stranded alone on a sea of emotion
You found me
It's you who first found me
Come here, come here
Put your arms around me
Come here
It's you who surrounds me
Come here, come here
Come here
Come here
You, you're my breath
The air I breathe
You are my imagination
Su le finesse
Song of my heart
Secrets I'm not afraid to whisper

I will go with you
I'll go where you lead me
Forever true
(forever and ever we'll stay)
In love together

Wherever you are

Turn Around (Carl Perkins)


Turn Around
Composer(s): Carl Perkins
First recording/First release: Carl Perkins - 1954/1955
Covered by multiple other artists



When you're all alone and blue
And the world looks down on you
Turn around, I'll be following you

When you feel that love is gone
And you realize you're wrong
Turn around, I'll be following you

Turn around, I'll be waiting behind you
With a love that's real and never, ever dies
If you feel your love will last
And you like to live your past
Turn around, I'll be following you

Maybe God will make you see
That your love is still for me
Turn around, I'll be following you

When you're in my arms again
There will never be an end
Turn around, I'll be following you

Turn around, I'll be waiting behind you
With a love that's pure and never, ever dies
If you feel your love will last
And you like to live your past
Turn around, I'll be following you

I will follow Him
Follow Him wherever He may go
And near Him, I always will be
For nothing can keep me away

There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away, away from His love

And where He goes
I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow
he'll always be my true love, my true love, my true love
from now until forever, forever, forever

I will follow Him
Follow Him wherever He may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away, away from His love...

We will follow Him
Follow Him wherever He may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep us away, away from His love...

I love Him
(Oh yes I love Him)
I'll follow
(I'm gonna follow)
True love
(He'll always be my true, true love)
Forever
(Now until forever)
I love Him, I love Him, I love Him
And where He goes
I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow
He'll always be my true love
My true love, my true love
From now until forever
Forever, forever...

There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away, away from His love

Kookaburra


Kookaburra
Australian Children's Song
Composer(s): Marion Sinclair



Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!
Gay your life must be

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
Leave some there for me

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
That's not a monkey, that's me!

Alternative Verses:

Kookaburra flies from the old gum tree
Flapping his wings for all to see
Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!
Flying oh so free

Kookaburra lands in the old gum tree
Fluttering his wings for all to see
Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!
Happy as can be!

Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail
Gets a boo-boo in his tail
Cry, Kookaburra! Cry, kookaburra!
Oh how life can be!

Kookaburra sits on the electric wire
Jumping up and down with his tail on fire
Ouch, Kookaburra, ouch!
Kookaburra, hot your tail must be!

Tupelo Honey


Tupelo Honey
Composer(s): Van Morrison
First release: Van Morrison - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You know she's alright
You know she's alright with me
She's alright, she's alright (she's an angel)

You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because she's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee
She's my baby, you know she's alright...

I'll tell a tale of old Manhattan
Adirondack bus to go
Standing waiting on my number
And my number's gonna show

I Will Follow


I Will Follow
Composer(s): Bono; The Edge; Adam Clayton; Larry Mullen
First release by: U2 - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



I was on the outside, when you said
You said you needed me
I was looking at myself, I was blind
I could not see

A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by his hand
If he stops to think he starts to cry
Oh why?

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway - I will follow

I was on the inside
when they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found

Walkaway, Walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway - I will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway - I will follow

(Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there)
Your eyes, your eyes

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway - I will follow

I will follow
I will follow...

Will you stay in our lovers' story
If you stay you won't be sorry
'cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing

Will you stay in our lovers' story
If you stay you won't be sorry
'cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing

We bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry
And a funny old crib on which the paint won't dry
I bought you a pair of shoes
A trumpet you can blow
And a book of rules
On what to say to people when they pick on you

Tunnel Of Love


Tunnel Of Love
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Dire Straits



Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that I choose
sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo
and I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam
and I don't know where I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am

in a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light
she had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night
I put a hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll
I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul

and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and I'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love

it's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk
she said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this
it's just a cake walk twisting baby step right up and say
hey Mister give me two give me two cos any two can play

and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and I'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love

well it's been money for muscle another whirligig
money for muscle and another girl I dig
another hustle just to make it big
and rockaway rockaway

and girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
like the Spanish city to me when we were kids

she took off a silver locket she said remember me by this
she put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss
and in the roar of the dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away
I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay

and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and I'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love

and now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
in any shooting gallery where promises are made
to rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway

and girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
like the Spanish city to me when we were kids

I Will Be Waiting
Performer(s): Arthur Crudup



I wanna love you like i never loved you tonight
If it's alright
I wanna tell you things I've never said in my life
I'm gonna hold you when the sun refuses to shine
I wanna show you that I'll always be by your side
0o0o0h

When you call my name
And you need me there
Girl you know that
I will be waiting for you
When you close your eyes
And you see me there
Don't you know that I will be waiting..

I wanna kiss you like I'll never kiss you again
If it's okay
I can't imagine loving any other this way
o0o0oh

When you call my name
and you need me there
Girl you know that
I will be waiting for you
When you close your eyes
And you see me there
Don't you know that I will be waiting...

(when you call my name
and you need me there
girl you know that
i will be waiting for you
when you close your eyes
and you see me there
don't you know that i will be waiting..)

So what you wanna do
I wanna-be-with you
I know that you like my style
So why don't you stay a while
And when you want me to
I'll wait for you...
