Song : Que Sera, Sera
Singer : Doris Day
Written by : Jay Livingston and Ray Evans
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother
What will I be
Will I be pretty
Will I be rich
Here’s what she said to me
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart
What lies ahead
Will we have rainbows
Day after day
Here’s what my sweetheart said
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
Now I have Children of my own
They ask their mother
What will I be
Will I be handsome
Will I be rich
I tell them tenderly
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
Que Sera, Sera
Lemon Tree
by Peter, Paul, And Mary
When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me
“Come here and take a lesson from the lovely Lemon Tree”
“Don’t put your faith in love, my boy” my father said to me
“I fear you’ll find that love is like the lovely Lemon Tree”Lemon Tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
Lemon Tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eatOne day beneath the Lemon Tree, my love and I did lie
A girl so sweet that when she smiled the stars rose in the sky
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree
the music of her laughter hid my father’s words from meLemon Tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
Lemon Tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eatOne day she left without a word. She took away the sun
And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done
She’d left me for another, it’s a common tale but true
A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to youLemon Tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
Lemon Tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eatLemon Tree is the ninth (9th) song on the Peter, Paul, & Mary album and the third (3rd) song on the Ten Years Together album. It is an original song by Peter, Paul, And Mary.
Mississippi
by Pussycat
album: The Best Of Pussycat (1996)
Where you can hear the country song from far
And someone plays a honky-tonk guitar
Where all the lights will go out one by one
Where people join the sun
And the wind takes it away
Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea
And lovers found the place they like to be
How many times before the song was ending
Love and understanding
Everywhere aroundChorus:
Mississippi, I’ll remember you
Whenever I should go away
I’ll be longing for the day
That I will be in Greenville again
Mississippi, You’ll be on my mind
Everytime I hear this song
Mississippi rolls along
Until the end of timeNow the country song forever lost it’s soul
When the guitar player turned to rock ‘n roll
And everytime when summernights are falling
I always will be calling
Dreams of yesterdayChorus:
Mississippi, I’ll remember you
Whenever I should go away
I’ll be longing for the day
That I will be in Greenville again
Mississippi, You’ll be on my mind
Everytime I hear this song
Mississippi rolls along
Until the end of time
Wet day in September
artist: Pussycat(1978)
Wet day in September
Raindrops fallin’ tender
As I stare outside my window
And I see the clouds are passin’ byI am feelin’ lonely
Oooh, I love you, oooh, I want you
Oooh, I need you so I think I’ll dieAnd as I fall asleep
All the tears I weep
Are because oooh, I love you, oooh, I want you
Oooh, I need you so I think I’ll dieBut there’s the morning sun
And all wakes up that I can be fun
Then all my dreams are goneBut how can I dream when you’re gone, my love?
And you’re makin’ love with every girl but not with me?
Yes, times have been changed since you went away
That I heard you sayI love you, I need you
So much I think I’ll die
Yeah, I love you, I need you
So much I think I’ll dieWhy must I remember
Every wet day in September?
Just because oooh, I love you, oooh, I want you
Oooh, I need you so I think I’ll die
But there’s the morning sun
And all wakes upthat I can be fun
Then all my dreams are gone
But how can I dream when you’re gone, my love?
And you’re makin’ love with every girl but not with me?
Yes, times have been changed since you went away
That I heard you say
Hey, I love you, I need you
So much I think I’ll die
Yeah, I love you, I need you
So much I think I’ll die
But how can I dream when you’re gone, my love?
And you’re makin’ love with every girl but not with me?
Yes, times have been changed since you went away
That I heard you say
Hey, I love you, I need you
So much I think I’ll die
Yeah, I love you, I need you
So much I think I’ll die
(I love you, I need you)
(I love you, I need you)
(I love you, I need you)
(I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you)
(I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you)
(I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you)
My broken souvenirs
artist: Pussycat(1977)
For each moment of tears
I still had my souvenirs
Cherished in a pocket full of dreamsI could hold, I could feel
Kept pretending they were real
Long time after lovers stayed awayNow a picture of you
I had cherished so true
Even kissed ’till I’d seen you again
But whenI’ve been crying today
Threw my memories away
Something died as I cried for my broken souvenirs
Can I reach for the sun?
Find a place I belong
Now you’re one of my broken souvenirs
If you’ll need me again
There’s no way you really can
Pasted pieces never make a whole
And if you leave your room
On some windy afternoon
Try to see where all the pieces flew
It was hard to get on
Since my memories were gone
But if you’ll ever see me again
I can
I’ve been crying today
Threw my memories away
Something died as I cried for my broken souvenirs
Can I reach for the sun?
Find a place I belong
Now you’re one of my broken souvenirs
Now you’re one of my broken souvenirs
Baby, you’re one of my broken souvenirs
Georgie
artist: Pussycat(1976)
Georgie, your love reminds me of a song
When it’s near you put it on
And its refrain you’ll rememberGeorgie, but when the song’s been often played
Another song that has been made
Makes you forget that you lied the other dayGeorgie, there was a time you played our love
Remember, I’m not a record you can play and turn it offGeorgie, like many songs you will return
Every minute I will yearn
And when it comes you can see me standing there
Georgie, there was a time you played our love
Remember, I’m not a record you can play and turn it off
Georgie, like many songs you will return
Every minute I will yearn
And when it comes you can see me standing there
Georgie, I’m telling you I’ll be standing there
To hold your hand, to kiss your lips
To say: “Please love me”
Hey Joe
artist: Pussycat(1979)
The awesome kind of a man
Glad to see you again, hey, Joe
No more wastin’ your time for wild women or wine
Like some years agoYou leave nothing to guess
You’ve been tastin’ success, hey, Joe
Of all friends that I knew I kept thinking of you
Since the day you were goneHey, Joe, I’ve told you so
Easy come, easy go
And the show’s still pullin’ strong
As long as time’s goin’ on it takes us allHey, Joe, you look away
You’re sure you’re okay?
Don’t know what I say
To held you again
Hey, Joe, let’s have a ball
You’re here after all
We call in the past
I never will, hey, Joe
Some are born to change times
Some for nickles and dimes, hey, Joe
If I look at my past I’ve been one of the best
But with no regrets at all
Hey, Joe, I’ve told you so
Easy come, easy go
And the show’s still pullin’ strong
As long as time’s goin’ on it takes us all
Hey, Joe, you look away
You’re sure you’re okay?
Don’t know what I say
To held you again
Hey, Joe, let’s have a ball
You’re here after all
We call in the past
I never will, Hey, Joe
I think I’ll always do, hey, Joe
I think I’ll always do
If you ever come to Amsterdam
Pussycat(1977)
I loved to be with you, but now I’m leaving
I really did enjoy each single evening
Moments here with you I will remember
On rainy days that comeSummer love has left my heart enchanted
It’s hard to go away before it ended
There’s kisses on a mountain and three coins in a fountain
The time has come that we must say goodbyeIf you ever come to Amsterdam
I’ll be waiting there for you
And I’ll show you where young lovers go
On a sunny afternoonWhere the summer nights of Amsterdam
Cover flowers at your side
I’ll be yours the day we’ll meet again
In Amsterdam
I’m calling everyday ’cause when I hear you (When I hear you)
I’m dreaming of the moment I’ll be near you (I’ll be near you)
I’ve found a four-leafed clover, I’d like to send it over
And maybe there’s a time we’ll meet one day
If you ever come to Amsterdam
I’ll be waiting there for you
And I’ll show you where young lovers go
On a sunny afternoon
Where the summer nights of Amsterdam
Cover flowers at your side
I’ll be yours the day we’ll meet again
In Amsterdam
Same old song
artist: Pussycat(1978)
You’re sweet (You’re sweet) as a honey bee (As a honey bee)
But like a honey bee stings you’ve gone and left my heart in pain
All you left (All you left) is our favorite song
The one we danced to all night longIt used to bring (Used to bring) sweet memories (Sweet memories)
Of a tender love that used to beNow it’s the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been goneNow, it’s the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone, my
Oh, my
A sentimental fool am I
To hear an old love song and wanna cry
But the melody keeps haunting me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Keep hearing the part that used to touch our heart
Staying together forever, breaking up never
It’s the same, same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
Now, it’s the same, same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone, my
My, my
Precious memories keep lingering on
Everytime I hear our favorite song
Now you’re gone, left this emptiness
I only reminisce the happiness we spent
We used to dance to the music (Dance to the music)
Make romance through the music (Romance through the music)
It’s the same, same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
Now, it’s the same, same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone, my
My, my
Well, it’s the same, same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
Now, it’s the same, same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It’s the same, same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
