| The Swallow (La Golondrina)
Serradell/Richter Recorded by Brendan Bowyer & The Royal Showband Lyrics submitted by Liam O'Reilly ____________________________________________ To far off lands, the swallow now is speeding For warmer climes and sun-drenched foreign shores While cooler breezes tell of summer fading My heart with you, into the heavens will soar. Oh graceful swallow bear a message of love For on your journey, lies the land of my heart As down you sweep, shed my blessings upon them that tell of love which in my heart still burns Among those shores are all that i care or live for My home my loved ones, waiting for my return Then glide downwards as you see from above A sea swept isle from which we had to part Each winter long console me in my dreaming And you fond swallow on your gleaming wings Will speed as i would wish i could go speeding Straight to their hearts, and with you my love bring Oh graceful swallow . . . (repeat last line) |

| The La La Song
Recorded by The Greenbeats 1968 Pye 7N17463 / You Win Again Lyrics submitted by Trisha Lynch ________________________________________ La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la. La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la. I’ve heard so much about dying Make me feel like crying, Seems there’s no one left worth talking to. Now that the sun is shining How’s about a little smiling, Chase away those clouds that cover you. Sleepy eyes, wake up you’re dreaming Ain’t no use staring at the ceiling, Got a little tune so you can’t go wrong There are no words and it ain’t very long, So let me hear you laughing and a singing my song It goes La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la. La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la la. You are yourself deceiving When you say life’s not worth living, You know you can make it if you try. If there’s hope, don’t betray it You’re never dead until you say it, Happiness is just a state of mind. Sleepy eyes wake up you’re dreaming Ain’t no use staring at the ceiling, Got a little tune so you can’t go wrong There are no words and it ain’t very long, So let me hear you laughing and a singing my song. It goes La la la la la la, la la la la la la , la la la la la (Repeat to fade) |

| A Love Of Our Own Recorded by The Debonaires Lyrics submitted by Trisha Lynch _________________________________ I know that no one understands you I am the only one who knows. Just how to give you love, Like you’ve been dreaming of. We have a love of our own. A love like ours was bound to happen It’s oh so easy to explain. You were made for only me, I was made for only you. We have a love of our own. I say maybe to you it may sound funny To anyone who doesn’t understand. But if they knew our kind of loving They would still know that it was planned. I’m oh so glad that you’re my baby No one could ever take your place. When you are kissing me, It feels so heavenly. We have a love of our own. I know that no one understands you I am the only one who knows. Just how to give you love, Like you’ve been dreaming of. We have a love of our own. We have a love of our own We have a love of our own. |

| Just To See You Smile
(Stirling/Peters) Recorded by The Freshmen 1969 Pye 7N17689 / Indian Lake Lyrics submitted by Trisha Lynch ________________________________________________ It would mean the world to me, make my life worthwhile. I would give my everything just to see you smile. You’re the one who left me, said you wanted fun; Bet you never realised you’d be the lonely one. Did he treat you badly, make a fool of you? Now you stand there crying not knowing what to do. It would mean the world to me, make my life worthwhile. I would give my everything just to see you smile. On that day you left me, sunshine turned to rain; Life must have had me convinced I’d never love again. I saw you so often, you were happy then Now your smile has faded, it might return again.
It would mean the world to me, make my life worthwhile. |
