How Long Has This Been Going On?
Diana Krall
I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been goin' on?
There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen sweet, I repeat
How long has this been goin' on?
Oh, I feel that I could melt
Into heaven I'm hurled
I know how
Finding another world
Kiss me once, then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been goin' on?
------ piano ------
Let me dream that it's true
Kiss me twice, then once more
That makes thrice, let's make it four
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been goin' on?
Mama Said
The Shirelles
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this my Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
I went walking the other day,
Everything was going fine,
I met a little boy named Billy Joe
And then I almost lost my mind
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this my Mama said
My eyes are wide open
But all that I can see is,
chapel bells are callin for everyone but-a me
but I don't worry cause
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this my Mama said
And then she said someone will look at me
like I'm looking at you one day,
then I might find
I don't want it any old way,
so I don't worry cause
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this my Mama said
Mama said, mama said
Hey! Don't you worry,
Mama said mama said
Hey! Don't you worry now.
Mama said mama said,
Hey! Hey!
The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh)
Nanci Griffith
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle the quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village the quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
I Don't Stand a Ghost of a Chance with You
Diana Krall
I love you oh so madly
I need your love so badly
But I don't stand a
Ghost of a chance with you
I thought at last I had found you
But other arms surround you
And I don't stand a
Ghost of a chance with you
If you'd surrender just for
A tender kiss or two
You might discover that
I'm the lover meant for you
And I'd be true
So what's the good of all my scheming?
I know I must be dreaming
For I don't stand a
Ghost of a chance with you
Lost Mind
Diana Krall
If you could be so kind
To help me find my mind
I'd like to thank you in advance
Know this before you start
My soul's been torn apart
I lost my mind in a wild romance
My future is my past
Its memory will last
I'll live to love the days gone by
Each day this becomes and goes like the one before
My mine is lost until the day I die
Words would fail me if I tried to describe him
Though I know he's not what he should have been
He was the Devil with face of angel
He was cruel and sweet, sweet and cruel as homemade sin
If you could be so kind
To help me find my mind
I'd like to thank you in advance
Know this before you start
My soul's been torn apart
I lost my mind in a wild romance
CATCH THE WIND
Glenn Campbell
When sundown pales the sky I want to hide a while behind
your smile
And everywhere I'd look your eyes I'd find
For me to love you now would be the sweetest thing, 'twould
make me sing
Ah but I might as well try and catch the wind
When rain has covered leaves with tears
I want you near to kill my fears
To help me leave all my blues behind
While standing in your heart is where I wanna be and long
to be
Ah but I might as well try and catch the wind
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind
Last Tango
Linda Eder
Old If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air It Goes Like It Goes
Patti Page
Quaint little villages here and there
(You're sure)You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
(Cape Cod, that old Cape Cod)
If you like the taste of a lobster stew
Served by a window with an ocean view
(You're sure)You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
Winding roads that seem to beckon you
Miles of green beneath a sky of blue
Church bells chimin' on a Sunday morn
Remind you of the town where you were born
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay
Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
(aah, aah)
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay (on Cape Cod Bay)
Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
You're sure to fall in love
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
Michael Crawford
People doin’ it everyday
Ain’t no miracle growin’ up
People just grow that way.
So it goes like it goes like the river flows
And time it rolls right on
And maybe what’s good gets a little bit better
And maybe what’s bad gets gone.
Bless the child of a workin’ man
He knows too soon who he is
Bless the hands of a workin’ man
He knows his soul is his.
So it goes like it goes like the river flows
And time it rolls right on
And maybe what’s good gets a little bit better
And maybe what’s bad gets gone.
So it goes like it goes like the river flows
And time keeps rolling on
And maybe what’s good gets a little bit better
And maybe what’s bad gets gone.
Isn't It Romantic? Pardon me, boy It’s Time
Toni Tennille
I've never met you, yet never doubt, dear;
I can't forget you, I've thought you out, dear.
I know your profile and I know the way you kiss,
just the things I miss on a night like this.
If dreams are made of imagination
I'm not afraid of my own creation.
With all my heart, my heart is here for you to take.
Why should I quake? I'm not awake.
Isn't it romantic?
Music in the night, a dream that can be heard.
Isn't it romantic?
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word.
I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
while all the world is saying you were meant for love.
Isn't it romantic
merely to be young on such a night as this?
Isn't it romantic?
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss.
Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
do you mean that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it romance?
The Glenn Miller Orchestra
Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
Track twenty-nine
Boy, you can gimme a shine
I can afford
To board a Chattanooga Choo Choo
I've got my fare
And just a trifle to spare
You leave the Pennsylvania Station 'bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore
Dinner in the diner
Nothing could be finer
Than to have your ham an' eggs in Carolina
When you hear the whistle blowin' eight to the bar
Then you know that Tennessee is not very far
Shovel all the coal in Gotta keep it rollin'
Woo, woo, Chattanooga there you are
There's gonna be
A certain party at the station
Satin and lace
I used to call "funny face"
She's gonna cry
Until I tell her that I'll never roam
So Chattanooga Choo Choo
Won't you choo-choo me home?
Won't you choo-choo me home?
Linda Eder
It's time to hold my hand
And take a chance
It's time to pay the band
And start the dance
We hear the melody
We know the song
It's time, I think
We're on the brink
Of waiting far too long
Why not believe our eyes
And cross our hearts
Dispense with alibis
Enough false starts
It's time to put away
Our childish things
And time to thrust
In us....and what tomorrow brings
It's time to risk it all
And shoot the moon
So just let go and fall
It's not too soon
Before the clock strikes one more chime
Let's see if we can move love off this dime
Cause when we kiss we both can see...
It's time
It's getting too late
For a lengthy debate
So let's go for the win
Let's give forever a shove
So that love can begin
It's time to let it ride
Cause time won't wait
If luck is on our side
It's not too late
Before we stumble past our prime
I know together we can make this climb
Cause I believe for you and me
It's time
