You’re My World
The song was originally recorded as “Il mio mondo” (“My World”). It was a hit for Cilla Black.
You’re my world, you’re every breath I take,
You’re my world, you’re every move I make,
Other eyes see the stars up in the skies,
but for me they shine within your eyes.
As the trees reach for the sun above
So my arms reach out to you for love
With your hand resting in mine,
I feel a power so divine
You’re my world you are my night and day
You’re my world you’re every prayer I pray
If our love ceases to be
That is the end of my world for me.
With your hand resting in mine,
I feel a power so divine
You’re my world you are my night and day,
You’re my world you’re every prayer I pray
If our love ceases to be,
That is the end of my world,
End of my world,
End of my world for me.
Music by Franck Pourcell and Paul Mauriat. Adapted by Arthur Altman with English lyrics by Norman.
I love him, I love him, I love him
And where He goes I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow
I will follow him
Follow him, wherever he may go
There isn’t an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me away
I must follow him
Ever since he touched my hand I knew
That near him I always must be
And nothing can keep him from me
He is my destiny
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
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 my love
I Am Woman
By Helen Reddy and Ray Burton.
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an’ pretend
’cause I’ve heard it all before
And I’ve been down there on the floor
No one’s ever gonna keep me down again
[CHORUS]
Oh yes I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
’cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
’cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul
[CHORUS]
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin’ arms across the land
But I’m still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
FADE
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
I Don’t Know How to Love Him
By Andrew Lloyd Webber for the musical “Jesus Christ Superstar.”
So calm, so cool, no lover’s fool
Running every show
He scares me so
I never thought I’d come to this
What’s it all about?
Yet, if he said he loved me
I’d be lost. I’d be frightened
I couldn’t cope, just couldn’t cope
I’d turn my head. I’d back away
I wouldn’t want to know
He scares me so
I want him so
I love him so
That’s All
I can only give you love that lasts forever,
And the promise to be near each time you call,
And the only heart I own is yours and yours alone, that’s all, that’s all.
I can only give you country walks in springtime,
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall,
And a love whose burning light to warm the winter night, that’s all, that’s all.
There are those I am sure who have told you,
They will give you the world for a toy.
All I ask for these arms to enfold you, and a love, time can never destroy.
If you’re wond’ring what I’m asking in return, dear,
You’ll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it’s me that you’ll adore for now and ever more, that’s all, that’s all.
Leave Me Alone
Wanders ’round the town
Talking to herself now
Sometimes sitting down
Don’t you get too close now
Ruby runs away
Poor old Ruby Red Dress
Born on a sorry day
I can hear her say
Leave me alone
Won’t you leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Now leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Yes, leave me
Leave me
Leave me alone
Won’t you leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Now leave me alone
God, leave me alone
Just leave me alone
Oh, leave me
Leave me
Big old Ruby Red Dress
Everybody laughs
Say she’s got no future
And never made no past
Something hurt that Ruby
Something she can’t bare
You look at her real close now
You see a little tear
When she says now
Leave me alone
Won’t you leave me alone
Please leave me alone
God, leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone
Just leave me alone
Please leave me
Leave me
Leave me alone
Won’t you leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Now leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone
Just leave me alone
Oh leave me
Leave me
Some folks say some farm boy
Oh, from Tennessee
Taught it all to Ruby
Then just let her be
Her daddy tried to hide it
Tried to keep things cool
But something happened to Ruby
She broke down to a fool
Who just said now
Leave me alone
Won’t you leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Now leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Yes leave me
Leave me
Leave me alone
Won’t you leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Now leave me alone
God, leave me alone
Just leave me alone
Please leave me
Leave me
Leave me alone
Won’t you leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Delta Dawn
Larry Collins and Alex Harvey wrote this song and it was recorded by Helen Reddy and Tanya Tucker.
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
She’s forty-one and her daddy still calls her “Baby”
All the folks around Brownsville say she’s crazy
‘Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
Promised her he’d take her for his bride
Delta Dawn, what’s that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
Delta Dawn, what’s that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
Delta Dawn, what’s that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
Delta Dawn, what’s that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
Kenny Ascher and Paul Williams wrote this song in 1974.
Tell me again, mommy
You and me against the world
Sometimes it feels like you and me against the world
When all the others turn their backs and walk away
You can count on me to stay
Remember when the circus came to town
And you were frightened by the clown
Wasn’t it nice to be around someone that you knew
Someone who was big and strong and looking out for you
And me against the world
Sometimes it feels like you and me against the world
And for all the times we’ve cried
I always felt that God was on our side
And when one of us is gone
And one of us is left to carry on
Then remembering will have to do
Our memories alone will get us through
Think about the days of me and you
You and me against the world
And when one of us is gone
And one of us is left to carry on
Then remembering will have to do
Our memories alone will get us through
Think about the days of me and you
You and me against the world
I love you, mommy
I love you too, baby
Angie Baby
Alan O’Day wrote this song in 1974.
You live your life in the songs you hear
On the rock and roll radio
And when a young girl doesn’t have any friends
That’s a really nice place to go
Folks hoping you’d turn out cool
But they had to take you out of school
You’re a little touched, you know
Angie baby
Lovers appear in your room each night
And they whirl you across the floor
But they always seem to fade away
When your daddy taps on your door
Angie girl, are you alright?
Tell the radio goodnight
All alone once more
Angie baby
Angie baby
You’re a special lady
Living in a world of make believe
Well, maybe
Stopping at her house is a neighbor boy
With evil on his mind
‘Cause he’s been peeking in Angie’s room
At the night through the window blind
I see your folks have gone away
Would you dance with me today
I’ll show you how to have a good time
Angie baby (Angie baby, Angie baby)
When he walks in her room, he feels confused
Like he walked into a play
And the music’s so loud it spins him around
Till his soul has lost its way
And as she turns the volume down
He’s getting smaller with the sound
It seems to pull him off the ground
Toward the radio he’s bound
Never to be found
The headlines read that a boy disappeared
And everyone thinks he died
‘Cept a crazy girl with a secret lover
Who keeps her satisfied
It’s so nice to be insane
No one asks you to explain
Radio by your side
Angie baby
Angie baby
You’re a special lady
Living in a world of make believe
Well, maybe
Well, maybe (Angie baby, Angie baby)
Well, maybe (Angie baby, Angie baby)
(Angie baby, Angie baby)
(Angie baby, Angie baby)
Love Song for Jeffrey
And do I love you?
Well, I know I really try
Thinking of you
Loving the sunshine in your eyes
And when I falter
Bringing you grief
Does it alter your feeling for me?
Oh, baby
Can’t you see?
That we’re sharing all the ups we have in life
While comparing all the downs that we’ve survived
But how much stronger
Our love becomes
And the longer we’re living as one
The more we’ll overcome
And I have lived the greatest love song
That my singer’s years have ever heard
You make this weary woman happy
I overflow
It’s cause I know
You wouldn’t trade me
For the moon inside a jar
For you’ve made me
Both the moon and the stars
And in our twilight
We will recall
That the highlight for us in this world
Was having dreams come true
I’m so comfortable with you
Jeff, you’ve made my dreams come true
Here’s a love song just for you
Ain’t No Way to Treat a Lady
I guess it was yourself you were involved with
I would have sworn it was me
I might have found out sooner
If you’d only let me close enough to see
That ain’t no way to treat a lady, no way
To treat your baby, your woman, your friend
That ain’t no way to treat a lady, no way
But maybe it’s a way for us to end
I was only being a picture
With all the colors I know
While you were busy looking
Into wide blue mirrors and loving the show
That ain’t no way to treat a lady, no way
To treat your baby, your woman, your friend
That ain’t no way to treat a lady, no way
But maybe it’s a way for us to end
There’s a funny kind of consolation keeping me sane
And I’d really like to share it, crawl on deep in my brain
You see the time you never felt me loving you or needing you
So leaving you now, you still won’t know how to feel the pain
I was looking out for my happiness
While you were looking within
And before you know your own reflection
Always starts to tire you and it’s happened again
That ain’t no way to treat a lady, no way
To treat your baby, your woman, your friend
That ain’t no way to treat a lady, no way
But maybe it’s a way for us to end
That ain’t no way to treat a lady, no way
To treat your baby, your woman, your friend
That ain’t no way to treat a lady, no way
But maybe it’s a way for us to end
