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.

 

Music: Herschel Burke Gilbert.

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.

Lyrics: Hal Winn.

HUSH...HUSH, SWEET CHARLOTTE (From the 1964 20th Century-Fox film)

 

Hush, hush, sweet Charlotte...

     Charlotte, don't you cry.

Hush, hush, sweet Charlotte...

     I'll love you till I die.

 

Oh, hold me, darling.

Please hold me tight

     And brush the tear from your eye.

You weep because you had a dream last night.

     You dreamed that I said goodbye.

 

I held two roses within my hand.

     Two roses I gave to you.

The red rose tells you of my passion.

     The white rose, my love so true

 

 Hush, hush, sweet Charlotte...

     Charlotte, don't you cry.

Hush, hush, sweet Charlotte...

     I'll love you till I die.

 

And every night after I shall die...

     Yes, every night when I'm gone,

The wind will sing to you this lullaby...

     Sweet Charlotte was loved by John.

 

Hush, hush, sweet Charlotte...

     Charlotte, don't you cry.

Hush, hush, sweet Charlotte...

     I'll love you till I die.

TI EIN' AFTO (From the 1957 film "BOY ON A DOLPHIN")

 

Ti ein' afto pou to lene agapi,

     Ti ein' afto, ti ein' afto

Pou krifa tis kardies odigi

Ke opios to 'niose to nostalgi.

Ti ein' afto pou to lene agapi,

     Ti ein' afto, ti ein' afto

Yelio, dakri, liakada vrohi

Tis zois mas ke telos ke arhi.

 

Pote, pote kanena stoma

Den to 'vre ken de to 'pe akoma.

 

Ti ein' afto pou to lene agapi,

     Ti ein' afto, ti ein' afto

Pou se kani na les to skopo

S'agapo, s'agapo, s'agapo.

     (Musical interlude)

Pote, pote kanena stoma

Den to 'vre ken de to 'pe akoma.

 

Ti ein' afto pou to lene agapi,

     Ti ein' afto, ti ein' afto

Pou se kani na les to skopo

S'agapo, s'agapo, s'agapo.

L'ITALIANO

Lasciatemi cantare

Con la chitarre in mano.
Lasciatemi cantare

Sono un Italiano.

Buongiorno Italia, gli spaghetti al dentee,
Un partigiano come presidente
Con l'autoradio sempre nella mano destra,
Un canarino sopra la finestra.

Buongiorno Italia con i tuoi artisti
Con troppa America sui manifesti
Con le canzoni, con amore
Con il cuore,
Con piu donne e sempre meno suore.

 

Buongiorno Italia, buongiorno Maria

Con gli occhi pieni di malincolina

Buongiorno Dio

Lo sai che ci sono anch'io.

 

Lasciatemi cantare

Con la chitarre in mano.
Lasciatemi cantare

Una canzone piano piano.

 

Lasciatemi cantare

Perché ne sono fiero.

Sono un italiano,

Un italiano vero.

 

Buongiorno Italia, con caffè ristretto

Le calze nuove nel primo cassetto

Con la bandiera in tintoria

E una Seicento giù di carrozzeria.

 

Buongiorno Italia, buongiorno Maria

Con gli occhi pieni di malincolina

Buongiorno Dio

Lo sai che ci sono anch'io.

Lasciatemi cantare

Con la chitarre in mano.
Lasciatemi cantare

Una canzone piano piano.

 

Lasciatemi cantare

Perché ne sono fiero.

Sono un italiano,

Un italiano vero.

 

Lasciatemi cantare

Con la chitarre in mano.
Lasciatemi cantare

Una canzone piano piano.

 

Lasciatemi cantare

Perché ne sono fiero.

Sono un italiano,

Un italiano vero.

C'E LA LUNA MEZZ'O MARE

C'è la luna mezz'o mare

Mamma mia ma maritare

Figlia mia a cu te dare

Mamma mia pensace tu.

 

Se te piglio lu pesciaiole

Isse vai, isse vene

Sempre lu pesce mane tene

Se ce'n cappa la fantasia.

 

Te pesculia figghiuzza mia

Là lariulà pesce fritt'e baccalà

Uei cumpà

No calamare c'eggi'accattà.

 

O Mamma, piscia fritta baccalà,

O Mamma, piscia fritta baccalà!

O Mamma, piscia fritta baccalà,

Mamma mia, Mamma mia, pensace tu!

 

C'è la luna mezz'o mare

Mamma mia ma maritare

Figlia mia a cu te dare

Mamma mia pensace tu.

 

Se te piglio lu pulezia

Isse vai, isse vene

Semp'a scuppetta mane tene

Se ce'n cappa la fantasia.

 

Te scuppettea figghiuzza mia

Là lariulà pesce fritt'e baccalà

Uei cumpà

Na scuppetta c'eggi'accattà.

 

O Mamma, piscia fritta baccalà,

O Mamma, piscia fritta baccalà!

O Mamma, piscia fritta baccalà,

     (Whistle)

Mamma mia, Mamma mia, pensace tu!

 

O Mamma, piscia fritta baccalà,

O Mamma, piscia fritta baccalà!

O Mamma, piscia fritta baccalà,

Mamma mia, Mamma mia, pensace tu!

EMPTY CHAIRS AT EMPTY TABLES (From the play "LES MISERABLES")

There's a grief that can't be spoken,
There's a pain goes on and on.
Empty chairs at empty tables,
Now my friends are dead and gone.

Here they talked of revolution,
Here it was they lit the flame,
Here they sang about tomorrow
And tomorrow never came.

From the table in the corner,
They could see a world reborn,
And they rose with voices ringing,
And I can hear them now
The very words that they have sung
Became their last communion
On this lonely barricade, at dawn.

Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
That I live and you are gone
There's a grief that can't be spoken,
There's a pain goes on and on.

Phantom faces at the window,
Phantom shadows on the floor,
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will meet no more.

Oh my friends, my friends don't ask me
What your sacrifice was for,
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will sing no more.


Writer(s): Herbert Kretzmer, Alain Albert Boublil, Claude Michel Schonberg.

TEMPTATION

You came,
I was alone,
I should have known
You were temptation!

You smiled,
Luring me on,
My heart was gone,
And you were temptation!

It would be thrilling if you were willing,
And if it can never be, pity me,
For you were born to be kissed,
I can't resist, you are temptation,
And I am yours!

Here is my heart!
Take it and say, that we'll never part!
I'm just a slave, only a slave
To you!

Temptation,
I'm your slave!


Music: Nacio Herb Brown.
Lyrics: Arthur Freed.
