Come Rain Or Come Shine Johnny Mercer/Harold Arlen I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you Come rain or come shine High as a mountain Deep as a river Come rain or Come Shine I guess when you met me It was just one of those things But don't ever bet me ‘Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me Come rain or come shine Happy together Unhappy together Won't that be fine Days may be cloudy or sunny We're in or we're out of the money But I'm with you always I'm with you rain or shine
2.	This Is I 05:17	lyrics	buy track
This Is I Malene Kjærgård Sun is rising at my feet All I dreamt is obsolete Follow your heart you said and left me here As the sun lights up the sky All I want to do is fly Over the rainbow away from this place Dragging me down lifting me high This is I Pushing me forward pulling be back This is I Every time I see your face How I long for your embrace Memories of absence so clear in my mind A nightingale can’t be replaced By a fake that sings engaged Neither can I you’ll notice when I’m gone Dragging me down lifting me high This is I Pushing me forward pulling be back This is I I search for a place where I can breathe
3.	Spring Is Here 04:50	lyrics	buy track
Spring Is Here Malene Kjærgård The sun returns the birds get busy And everyone returns my smiles It’s all the love that makes me dizzy And lights up my heart Spring is here, my dear How I’d love to hold you near Let’s not forget that two hearts met Let’s walk hand in hand Cherry trees blossom and my feet Long to dance when we romance And though it seem just like a dream I know it’s real Should I ever lose you I would feel way beyond blue But I tell myself You wouldn’t want someone else Whenever you smile My heart stops beating for a while The butterflies I feel inside Mean spring is here, my dear
4.	Ladies Who Lunch 05:06	lyrics	buy track
Ladies Who Lunch Stephen Sondheim I’d like to propose a toast Here's to the ladies who lunch Everybody laugh Lounging in their caftans And planning a brunch On their own behalf Off to the gym Then to a fitting Claiming they're fat And looking grim 'Cause they've been sitting Choosing a hat Does anyone still wear a hat I'll drink to that And here's to the girls who play smart Aren't they a gas Rushing to their classes In optical art Wishing it would pass Another long exhausting day Another thousand dollars A matinee, a Pinter play Perhaps a piece of Mahler's I'll drink to that And one for Mahler And here's to the girls who play wife Aren't they too much Keeping house but clutching A copy of LIFE Just to keep in touch The ones who follow the rules And meet themselves at the schools Too busy to know that they're fools Aren't they a gem I'll drink to them Let's all drink to them And here's to the girls who just watch Aren't they the best When they get depressed It's a bottle of Scotch Plus a little jest Another chance to disapprove Another brilliant zinger Another reason not to move Another vodka stinger I'll drink to that So here's to the girls on the go Everybody tries Look into their eyes And you'll see what they know Everybody dies A toast to that invincible bunch The dinosaurs surviving the crunch Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch Everybody rise Rise….
5.	These Boots Are Made For Walking 05:11	lyrics	buy track
These Boots Are Made For Walking Lee Hazlewood You keep saying you got something for me Something you call love but confess You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin' And now someone else is getting all your best Well, these boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over… You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin' You keep losing when you oughta not bet You keep samin' when you oughta be a'changin' What's right is right but you ain't been right yet These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt Well, I've just found me a brand new box of matches And what he knows you ain't had time to learn These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
6.	The Beauty Of It All 03:39	lyrics	buy track
The Beauty Of It All Malene Kjærgård Summer has come to remind us Of the joy that light can bring Winter was there to enlighten us Make our moaning hearts sing Autumn reminds us that all things must pass Spring is there to remind us That darkness don’t last That’s the beauty of it all How I do recall Pain and joy jo hand in hand But you’ll catch me if I fall That’s the beauty of it all When I’m feeling small I trust that I was planned to be In this picture after all
7.	I'm a Girl 04:04	lyrics	buy track
I’m A Girl Malene Kjærgård I move to fast Then stumble can’t hold on To the path I create and try to follow I’m a girl Dreaming of too much you might say On the other hand There’s just too much in my way I’m moving slow Taking one step at a time Breathing In Trusting that I’m doing fine I’m a girl Dreaming of a place to be free A place for me to breath Somewhere I can be me How can you say Walk the right way Who decides what’s right for me And how can I go Into the great unknown Will I ever find my way
8.	Throw It Away 05:44	lyrics	buy track
Throw It Away Abbey Lincoln I think about the life I live A figure made of clay And think about the things I lost The things I gave away And when I'm in a certain mood I search the house and look One night I found these magic words In a magic book Throw it away Throw it away Give your love, live your life Each and every day And keep your hand wide open Let the sun shine through 'Cause you can never lose a thing If it belongs to you There's a hand to rock the cradle And a hand to help us stand With a gentle kind of motion As it moves across the land And the hand's unclenched and open Gifts of life and love it brings So keep your hand wide open If you need anything Throw it away Throw it away Give your love, live your life Each and every day And keep your hand wide open Let the sun shine through 'Cause you can never lose a thing If it belongs to you SOLI There's a natural obligation To what we hold and claim Possessing and belonging to Acknowledging a name So keep your hand wide open If you're needing love today 'Cause you can't lose it even if you Throw it all away Throw it away Throw it away Give your love, live your life Each and every day And keep your hand wide open Let the sun shine through 'Cause you can never lose a thing If it belongs to you
9.	Put On a Happy Face 04:38	lyrics	buy track
Put On A Happy Face Lee Adams/Charles Strouse (Bye Bye Birdie) Grey skies are gonna clear up Put on a happy face Brush off the clouds and cheer up Put on a happy face Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy It's not your style You'll look so good that you'll be glad You decide to smile Pick out a pleasant outlook Stick out that noble chin Wipe off that "full of doubt" look Slap on a happy grin And spread sunshine all over the place Just put on a happy face SOLI Grey skies are gonna clear up Put on a happy face Brush off the clouds and cheer up Put on a happy face Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy It's not your style You'll look so good that you'll be glad You decide to smile I knew a girl so gloomy She'd never laugh or sing She wouldn't listen to me Now she's a mean old thing So spread sunshine all over the place And put on a happy face
10.	Move Along 04:33	lyrics	buy track
Move Along Malene Kjærgård How can I move along When all there was Is gone How can I breathe in space Nothing left Not a trace Holding on to tight to something That will never be More than just a vague memory How can I let go of everything I felt for you I don’t want to face the truth How can I sing this song It’s made for you But you are gone
11.	The More I See You 05:38	lyrics	buy track
The More I See You Malene Kjærgård/Mack Gordon/Harry Warren My mamma always told me to watch out for the bad guys And daddy always told me don’t fall in love too soon They warned me that this thing called love could be quite tempting But girl you should be able to control yourself Well nothing can be done about the fact that I feel Into your arms, that I’m under your spell The more I see you, the more I want you Somehow this feeling, just grows and grows With every sigh, I become more mad about you More lost without you and so it goes Can you imagine how much I love you The more I see you as years go by I know the only one for me can only be you My arms won't free you, my heart won't try
12.	When Will I See You Again 05:28	lyrics	buy track
When Will I See You Again Malene Kjærgård Everytime I see you my heart starts beating Like a drum ’cause you’re the one I’m attracted to The blood starts dancing in my vains When will I see you again? And everytime I tell myself that it is foolish I can’t stop picturing you in my head My knees get weak and I can’t stand When will I see you again? Though I know that you belong to her I will do my best to make you think That though you call it love it never were And that I’m the only one for you And even when you’re leaving for a nice vacation Somewhere pretty and her eyes will be as blue as the sea I know it’s me you’re thinking off When will I see you again? And even though you never call or write a letter I will never doubt you plan to leave her soon I will be safe here in your arms But when will I see you again? Yes, I know that you belong to her I will do my best to make you think That though you call it love it never were And that I’m the only one for you
