BLUE COLLAR TOWN
©David Goldman/WORLDWAVE MUSIC (ASCAP)

Old man walkin', he ain't talkin', moving slowly dead ahead
He used to work here, they were good years, he kept his family fed
Times are changing, re-arranging, everybody's lives
The earth is shifting, his dreams are drifting, but he won't step aside

In this blue collar town, though he's history bound
Sorrow has no sound in this true blue,
Blue collar town, in this blue collar town

Everyone knew all about you, they'd say hi when he walked down the street
Now there's new folks, telling new jokes, they don't care how things used to be
But he was born here, and he'll hold on here, standing tall in a house divided
Behind the dark glance, the memories dance in the eyes of this old timer

In this blue collar town, though he's history bound
Sorrow has no sound in this true blue,
Blue collar town, in this blue collar town

The old trains used to fly down the tracks
Before the highway came and broke the town's back
Once he had his whole life ahead
He never thought for a minute
He'd be stranded like this

In this blue collar town, though he's history bound
Sorrow has no sound in this true blue,
Blue collar town, in this blue collar town

SUMMER WITH JULIET
©David Goldman/WORLDWAVE MUSIC (ASCAP)

Summer with Juliet in the high mountains
Down near the lakes by silver fountains
All that was lost is once again found
Lost in each other we're paradise bound

Summer with Juliet, oh the kisses the laughter
The rush through the skies and the glow that comes after
On her golden hair the sunlight is gliding
In her eyes of deep green shines the forest inside me

We dance on the water we dance on the fire
Sailing the seas of endless desire
We dance on the water we dance on the fire
Our hearts are melting from the fever inside
La la la...

Summer with Juliet, how love has grown
Hand in hand all around we go
Down in the valleys through shadow and light
We'll run til we fall on this summer's night

We dance on the water we dance on the fire...

SO LONESOME FOR YOU
©David Goldman/WORLDWAVE MUSIC (ASCAP)

I remember you walking, walking away
Without a reason why or a word to say
I still hear your laughter, but I forgot the joke
I got a head full of fire and a heart deep in smoke

I'm so lonesome for you, I miss your lovin' so
How I cry for you darlin', but you'll never know
How the blues are callin‚ I thought all my tears were gone
I'm so lonesome for you baby, for you I sing this song

I walk the streets with nowhere to go
The temperature is falling and my blood's movin' slow
I still love you though you left me behind
You're such a sad dream, an ache in my mind

I'm so lonesome for you, I miss your lovin' so
How I cry for you darlin', but you'll never know
How the blues are callin‚ I thought all my tears were gone
I'm so lonesome for you baby, for you I sing this song

I can't stand to walk by your door
Knowin' I'll never see you, see you no more

I'm so lonesome for you, I miss your lovin' so
How I cry for you darlin', but you'll never know
How the blues are callin‚ I thought all my tears were gone
I'm so lonesome, so lonesome, but I'll be movin' on

ONE OF THESE DAYS (Soldier's Song)
©David Goldman/WORLDWAVE MUSIC (ASCAP)

I am a soldier in my prime
I die so long before my time
Oh it's so hard to say goodbye

I leave this world of hell and flames
With a million memories in shattered frames
With one more ocean left to cross
I think of you and all I have lost

One of these days, one of these days
I'll see you, one of these days

I am but one of many more
Who's fallen on a distant shore
They say all's fair in love and war

Baby someday I'll come flying your way
Land in your world and kiss you awake
One sweet morning, we'll love again
I'll rush through your heart like crimson rain

One of these days, one of these days
I'll see you, one of these days

I've been dreaming you forever
I can't say no, I can't say never
In these last minutes, you're here beside me
So close beside, beside me

I die so long before my time
I leave my whole world behind
Please don't forget me by and by...

One of these days, one of these days
I'll see you, one of these days

Na Na Na...

Takeda No Komori Uta (Japanese Traditional)

Mori mo iyagaru, bon kara saki nya
Yuki mo chiratsukushi ko mo nakushi

Bon ga kitatote nani ureshikaro?
Katabira wa nashi, obi wa nashi

Kono ko you naku, mori oba ijiru
Mori mo ichinichi yaseru yara

Hayou mo yukitaya kono zaisho koete
Mukou ni mieru wa oya no uchi

(English)

The mori does not look forward to the season after the O-Bon
With the snow fluttering and the baby crying

With the coming of the O-Bon, with no robe or obi
Why should she be happy?

The baby cries so much, tugging at the mori
Day by day the mori becomes haggard

She wants to leave early, passing through the village gate
From beyond she can see her father's house

Lag Gai Chot (Hindustani/Urdu)

Lag gai chota karejawa men haya Rama
Lag gai chot karejwa men haya Rama lag gai chot

Nainon ke tir mohe mar gayo sanyyan e
Nainon ke tir mohe mar gayo sanyyan vo

Lag gai chot karejwa men haya Rama lag gai chot

(English)

I have been wounded deep in my heart, oh Lord!

Arrows from my lover’s eyes have felled me
How I have been wounded..........

Someday I’ll Fly
©David Goldman/WORLDWAVE MUSIC (ASCAP)

Somebody took my woman, somebody broke my heart
Who was it stole my lover, left me here alone, in the dark, hey
Someday I’ll fly, someday I’ll find my way

Somebody burned my house, somebody took my child
Who was it turned my lights out, left me here running wild, hey
Someday I’ll fly, someday I’ll find my way

I’m running to you darlin’
I’m just afraid of fallin’
Fallin’ so hard..........

Words just die in my mouth, I try and try to scream 'em out
I talk and talk and talk, but I can't say what I want to say
Someday I’ll fly, someday I’ll find my way

I’m running to you darlin’
I’m just afraid of fallin’
Fallin’ so hard..........

It’s hard to shake this ball and chain, I’m chasing love in a driving rain
I‘ll just walk and walk and walk til I get to a better place
Someday I’ll fly, someday I’ll find my way

I’m gonna ride that sun someday, gonna ride that sun someday...

Te Extraño Tanto (I Miss You So Much) (Spanish)
©David Goldman, Jeff Franzel & Mimi Ibarra (ASCAP)

Como quisiera que estuvieras aquí
Cortar distancia y correr tras de tí
Ay si el tiempo se acordara de mí
No iria tan lento, cuando no estás aquí, .............cerca de mí

Te extraño tanto, ay, que mi corazón
Latir no quiere si no escucha tu voz
Y está cerca de tí, frente al espejo de tus ojos
Te extraño tanto y solo pienso en tí

Ni en mis sueños no me olvido de tí
Y hasta el silencio, siempre me habla de tí
Ay, te quiero, como nunca creí
Querer a nadie, solo vivo por tí....................... por tí, por tí

Te extraño tanto...

Desesperado está mi corazón
Te quiere tanto, que ya perdió el control
Me muero, me muero, me muero.......... sin tu cariño…..

Te extraño tanto...

Oigame cantar..... mi canto por ti, siempre por ti, siempre por ti.... oigame cantar.....

É Nossa Canção (It's Our Song)
©David Goldman/WORLDWAVE MUSIC (ASCAP)

(Prelude)

Terra escura, dores escondidas, lagrimas perdidas
Acaricia de ar, abraço de amor, um beijo apaixonado

A yo weh, A yo weh, A yo weh, A yo weh,

O…………
É nossa dança, É nosso amor, É nossa canção! É nossa canção!

It’s our song, it’s our dance, til we die, til we die
We belong in romance, you and I
So dark, so deep, my love sparks from sleep
So new, so true, my song flies to you
Your eyes, my heart, sunrise, let’s start

O.......
É nossa dança, é nosso amor, É nossa canção! É nossa canção!

In the wind, in the rain, in the fire,
We feel the love through the pain and desire
Kiss you, kiss me, kiss ourselves free
Warm air, skin bare, our mad affair
Let’s fly away, so high today

Teu violão, meu coração, vida tão breve,
Brisa do mar, encanto das estrelas, sonho tresloucado

O……
A yo weh, A yo weh, A yo weh, A yo weh
É nossa dança, é nosso amor, É nossa canção! É nossa canção!
Brisa do mar, encanto das estrelas, sonho tresloucado.........
É nossa canção……………oh...............A YO WEH!

Sorry Said The Moon
©David Goldman/Brian Seymour (ASCAP)

“Sorry,” said the moon, “I brought you together,
Then you broke apart, I can’t mend broken hearts
What ended so soon could have been forever
Under my magical light.”

“Sorry,” said the moon, “I’ll always remember
That very first night, my reflection in your eyes
Now wistful and blue, if only you’d surrendered
To the pull of the tides

“You had it all for awhile,
Dancing beneath my gentle smile
Like waves rolling closer and closer,
It was truly love, now it’s over

“Sorry,” said the moon, “to all you lovers
I’ve left behind, please don’t think me unkind
May your dreams come true, someday with another
For you I’ll always shine

“You had it all for awhile,
Dancing beneath my gentle smile
Like waves rolling closer and closer,
It was truly love, now it’s over

“Sorry,” said the moon, “to all you lovers
I’ve left behind, please don’t think me unkind
May your dreams come true, someday with another
For you I’ll always shine

“Sorry,” said the moon............“Sorry,” said the moon...
"May love come your way soon"...“Sorry,” said the moon....

No Easy Way To Say Goodbye
©David Goldman/Jeff Franzel (ASCAP)

It’s the end of the day, I can feel you pull away
And the love has gone from your eyes
It’s been like this too long, what’s the use in holding on?
This house is so cold, don’t you realize, baby

When I walk out that door, I’ll walk alone
There’s no easy way to say goodbye
What we had before, we lost so long ago
There’s no easy way to say goodbye

Wish I could erase, this sadness I face
Wish I had words to make things right
I can taste my own tears, and my voice disappears
I turn to leave for the very last time, baby

When I walk out that door, I’ll walk alone
There’s no easy way to say goodbye
What we had before, we lost so long ago
There’s no easy way to say goodbye

No one ever loved me, like you loved me
It breaks my heart to set you free

When I walk out that door, I’ll walk alone
There’s no easy way to say goodbye, for you and I
What we had before, was lost so long ago
There’s no easy way to say goodbye
There’s no easy way to say goodbye
There’s no easy way to say goodbye

I Miss My Blues
©David Goldman/WORLDWAVE MUSIC (ASCAP)

We get along so famously
But I keep stalling shamelessly
Love’s never easy for me

I miss my blues, miss my misery,
Life’s too good since you’ve been with me,
I miss my blues, yes I’m oh, so sad,
It used to feel so good to feel so bad
I miss my blues

I can see it’s just a matter of time
Someday soon I swear I’ll make you mine
Why am I still waiting for a sign?

I miss my blues, miss my misery,
Life’s too good since you’ve been with me,
I miss my blues, yes I’m oh, so sad,
It used to feel so good to feel so bad
I miss my blues

We’re doing so fine it almost makes me ill
If your smile don’t get me, my own laughter will
Whatever happened to the life I loathed?
I’m all dressed up but I’m afraid to go (Modulate)

I’ve waited for you for my whole life,
And though I finally see the light
I’ll be the old “me” just one more night

I miss my blues, miss my misery,
Life’s too good since you’ve been with me,
I miss my blues, yes I’m oh, so sad,
It felt so good to feel so bad
I miss my blues, I miss my blues,
And they miss me too......
Tell Howlin' Wolf the news.......

Vierno
Armando De Gregorio/Vincente Acampora
©1talian Book Corporation 1945

E' vierno, chiove chiove 'a 'na semmana
e st'acqua assai cchiù triste me mantene...
che friddo quanno é 'a sera ca me vene...
cu st'aria 'e neve mò ca manche tu.
'Sta freva ca manch'essa m'abbandona
'sta freva a cuollo nun se leva cchiù!

Vierno!
che friddo int'a stu core!
E sola tu
ca le può dà calore,
te staje luntana e nun te faje vedè
Te staje luntana e nun te cure 'e me!

Ca mamma appiccia 'o ffuoco tutt''e ssere
dint'a 'sta cammarella fredda e amara!
Ma che l'appiccia a ffa, vecchia mia cara,
s'io nun me scarfo manco 'mbraccio a tte?
Povera vecchia mia me fa paura:
e 'n'ombra ca se move attuorno a mme!

Vierno...

Vie…….rno, Vie…….rno, Vie…….rno, Vie…….rno............

It’s winter, it rains for a week,
and this drenching makes me more and more sad
How cold it is when night comes;
there’s snow in the air now that you are gone
This fever will not leave me, this fever will never lift

Winter, how cold in your heart,
only you can give me warmth
You are so far away
and you you don’t care about me anymore
