THE ISLE OF INISFREE

 I've met some folks

Who say that I'm a dreamer

And I've no doubt

There's truth in what they say.

But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer

When all the things he loves are far away.

 

And precious things

Are dreams unto an exile

They take him o'er

The land across the sea.

Especially when it happens he's an exile

From that dear lovely Isle of Inisfree.

 

And when the moonlight

Peeps across the rooftops

Of this great city,

Wondrous though it be

I scarcely feel it's wonder or it's laughter

I'm once again back home in Inisfree.

 

I wander o'er green hills

Through dreamy valleys

And find a peace no other land would know

I hear the birds make music fit for angels

And watch the rivers laughing

As they flow.

 

And then into a humble shack I wander,

My dear old home and tenderly behold

The folks I love

Around the turf fire gathered

On bended knee

Their rosary is told.

 

But dreams don't last

Though dreams are not forgotten

And soon I'm back to stern reality

But though they pave

The foot ways here with gold dust

I still would choose my Isle of Inisfree.

SUO GAN (English Translation)

Hush, my dear one,

Sleep serenely,

Now, my lovely

Slumber deep.

Mother rocks you,

Humming lowly,

Close your eyes now

Go to sleep.

Angels hover,

Ever nearer,

Looking on your

Smiling face.

Lovely darling,

I will guard you

Keep you from all

Woe and harm.

Slowly, gently,

I will rock you,

Resting sweetly

On my arm.

May you slumber

E'er so softly,

Dream of visions

Wondrous fair.

I will hold you,

Close enfold you.

Close your eyes now

Go to sleep.

May you slumber

E'er so softly,

Dream of visions

Wondrous fair.

I will hold you,

Close enfold you.

Close your eyes now

Go to sleep.

Music & Lyrics: Robert Bryan, David Seaman.

SUO GAN (Welsh Air)

Huna blentyn, ar fy mynwes,

Clyd a chynmes ydyw hon;

Breichiau man sy'n dyn amdant,

Cariad mam sy dan fy mron.

Ni chaiff dim amharu'th gynum,

Ni wna undyn a thi gam:

Huna'n dawel, annwyl bientyn,

Huna'n fwyn ar fron dy fam.

 

Huna'n dawel hana huna

Huna'n fwyn y del ei lun:

Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenu,

Gwenu'n dirlon yn dy hun

Ai  angylion fry sy'n gwenu

Arnat yno'n gwenu'in llon

Titha'u'n gwenu'n ol a huno,

Huno'n dawel ar fy mron.

Paid ag ofni, dim ond deilen

Gura, gura ar y ddor;

Paid ag ofni ton fach unig

Sua, sua ay lan y mor,

Huna blentyn nid oes yma

Ddim I roddi iti fraw;

Ar yr engl gwynion draw.

NADIA'S THEME (from the TV series "The Young and the Restless")

Gone, dreams of the past

Gone with a love that moved too fast.

Gone, bright shiny days

Gone in a young and restless haze.

Why did we love, then run away?

So little time, so much left to say...

And now, it's gone.

Young and restless friend

You'll never pass this way again.

So drink the summer wine,

Reach for the stars while you have time.

 

Your restless heart will lead the way.

So dream your dreams and live for each day

While you are young.

 

(Instrumental)

 

Your restless heart will lead the way.

So dream your dreams and live for each day

While you are young,

While you are young,

While you are young.

LAMBADA (English lyrics)

 Now she's gone away,

     Only girl who's ever made me cry.

Not so far away,

     Far enough to make me wanna die.

 

Crying over me is what she's gonna be

     When she's hit by the need of my love.

Crying she will be when she's dreaming of me,

     And decides that she needs what once was.

 

All the memories

     Follow me wherever I may go.

Haunting melodies

     Playing in the night to let me know. 

 

Dance along with me with the sun and the sea 

     Only love makes what feels so sublime.

 

     (Musical interlude)

Do a dance with me to a love fantasy

     That for one precious moment was mine.

Crying she will be when she's thinking of me,

     And concedes to the need to be loved.

 

Crying she will be when she's dreaming of me,

     And decides that she needs what once was.

 

     (Musical interlude)

Dance alone with me, Mr. Sun, Mr. Sea,

     Keep the feeling so strong and so tender.

Do a dance with me to a love fantasy

     Just for one day of total surrender.

THE RIFLEMAN (Theme from the TV series)

He is no stranger to the settlers

And the bad men know his fame.

They speak of him in whispers

But they never use his name.

 

They call him the Rifleman.

The strong, courageous Rifleman.

A great big mountain of a man.

 

He never reaches for his rifle

Except when he's attacked.

He reckons there's a time to speak

And there's a time to act.

They call him the Rifleman.

The strong, courageous Rifleman.

A great big mountain of a man.

 

They know that when it comes to marksmanship,

He's better than the best.

Still, someone's always fool

Enough to put him to the test.

 

They call him the Rifleman.

The strong, courageous Rifleman.

A great big mountain of a man.

 

To every lad who comes to him

To learn the secret of his art

He tells them there's no medicine

To heal a coward's heart.

 

They call him the Rifleman.

The strong, courageous Rifleman.

A great big mountain of a man.

 

There is a moral to his exploits

And he's taught it to his son...

"Speak softly to your enemy.

But let him see your gun."

 

 They call him the Rifleman.

The strong, courageous Rifleman.

A great big mountain of a man.

Lyrics: Alfred Perry.

SOLITAIRE

There was a man

A lonely man

Who lost his love

Through his indifference.

A heart that cared,

That went unshared

Until it died

Within his silence.

And solitaire's the only game in town

And every road that takes him

Takes him down.

And by himself it's easy to pretend

He'll never love again.

And keeping to himself he plays the game.

Without her love

It always ends the same.

While life goes on around him everywhere.

He's playing solitaire.

A little hope

Goes up in smoke.

Just how it goes

Goes without saying.

There was a man,

A lonely man

Who would command

The hand he's playing.

And solitaire's the only game in town

And every road that takes him

Takes him down.

And by himself it's easy to pretend

He'll never love again.

And keeping to himself he plays the game.

Without her love

It always ends the same.

While life goes on around him everywhere.

He's playing solitaire.

And solitaire's the only game in town

And every road that takes him

Takes him down.

And by himself it's easy to pretend

He'll never love again.

And keeping to himself he plays the game.

Without her love

It always ends the same.

While life goes on around him everywhere.

He's playing solitaire.

WAGON TRAIN

 

     Roll along,

     Wagon Train!

 

Rollin' over prairie where there ain't no grass,

Rollin' over mountain where there ain't no pass.

     Sittin' on a board

     Eyin' the weather.

     Prayin' to the Lord

     We stay together

Side by side on the Wagon Train.

 

     Wagon train,

     Roll along!

 

Pickin' up a passenger in every town,

Wonderin' if he's ever gonna shoot you down.

     Lookin' for a pal,

     Ain't it a pity,

     Lookin' for a gal,

     Needn't be pretty

If she'll ride on the Wagon Train.

 

Wagons, ho!

Gotta keep 'em on the run.

Time to go,

And follow the sun!

 

     Roll along,

     Wagon Train!

 

Never had a cabin and a general store.

Only had a wagon and a forty-four.

     Sittin' on a board

     Eyin' the weather.

     Prayin' to the Lord

     We stay together

Side by side on the Wagon Train.

 

Wagons, ho!

Gotta keep 'em on the run.

Time to go,

And follow the sun!

 

     Roll along,

     Wagon Train!

 

Rollin' over prairie where there ain't no grass,

Rollin' over mountain where there ain't no pass.

     Sittin' on a board

     Eyin' the weather.

     Prayin' to the Lord

     We stay together

Side by side on the Wagon Train.

 

     Wagon train,

     Roll along!

Lyrics by: Jack Brooks

 

WHO IS SHE?

 

Oh, who is she?

A misty memory...

A haunting face.

Is she a lost embrace?

 

Am I in love with just a theme?

Or is Ayesha just a dream?

A mystery?

Oh, who is she?

 

 Oh, who is she?

A misty memory...

A haunting face.

Is she a lost embrace?

 

I call her name

Across an endless plain.

She'll answer me

Wherever she may be.

 

Oh, who is she?

     (Oh, who is she?)

A misty memory...

     (A misty memory...)

A haunting face.

     (A haunting face.)

Is she a lost embrace?

 

Somewhere across the sea of time,

A love immortal just as mine

Will come to me eternally.

 

Immortal she,

Return to me.

KISS (From the 1953 20th Century-Fox movie "NIAGARA") w/ The New Christy Minstrels

(Kiss, kiss me)

(Hold, hold me)

(Kiss me, hold me, kiss me, hold me...)

 

Kiss, kiss me

Say you miss, miss me

Kiss me love, with heavenly affection.

Hold, hold me close to you

Hold me, see me through

With all your heart's protection.

 

Thrill, thrill me

With your charms

Take me in your arms

And make my life perfection

Kiss, kiss me darling

Then, kiss me once again

Make my dreams come true.

 

(This is the moment, oh thrill me)

Thrill me, thrill me with your charms

Take me, take me in your arms

And make my life perfection.

Take me, darling, don't forsake me

Kiss me

Hold me tight

Love me, love me tonight.

THREE STARS WILL SHINE TONIGHT (Theme Song from the TV series "Dr. Kildare")

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.

And for the third star,

Only one reason...

A star you can wish on

To make dreams come true.

Three stars will shine tonight,

One for the lonely.

That star will shine its light

Each time that someone sighs.

Music: Jerry Goldsmith, Pete Rugolo.
