Colours of the rainbow & Country Road

各位同學：請練習這兩首歌，預備12月11日表演

I saw the colors of the rainbow
Up there against the distance sunglow
The air was soft and blue birds could hide
I wished that time was on my side
So I could ride that pretty rainbow
And fly across the western sky
So come with me and you'll see my friend
The colors of the rainbow's end

I always remember of how we used to meet
I heard sweet songs up above
The meadow was so green when I sat down to dream
That was the time when I found love

I saw the colors of the rainbow
Up there against the distance sunglow
One summer's days that rainbow came
To chase away the morning rain

【I always remember of how we used to meet
I heard sweet songs up above】

I saw the colors of the rainbow
Up there against the distance sunglow
One summer's day that rainbow came
To chase away the morning rain

【I sat down to dream
And that was the time when I found love】

Country Road

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River -
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growin like a breeze

Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gathered round her
Miners lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye

Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice
In the mornin hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin down the road I get a feelin
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

【Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, now country roads
Take me home, now country roads】

49 ~ Lemon Tree - Peter, Paul & 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."

Chorus:
Lemon tree, very pretty, 
and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree, very pretty, 
and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.

One 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 me.

Chorus

Lemon tree, very pretty, 
and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree, very pretty, 
and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.

One 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 left me for another, 
it's a common tale but true,
A sadder man, but wiser now, 
I sing these words to you.

Chorus

Lemon tree, very pretty, 
and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree, very pretty, 
and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.

Lemon Tree.............

Lemon Tree - The Everly Brothers
When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,
'Come here and learn 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.'

Chorus:
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 eat.

 Beneath the lemon tree one day, 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 me.

Chorus

One 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 left me for another, it's a common tale but true,
A sadder man, but wiser now, I sing these words to you.

Chorus
Lemon tree, Lemon tree .......

48 ~ 忘不了的你 + Colours of the rainbow

忘不了的你 + Colours of the rainbow

作詞：葉雯  作曲：姚敏 編曲：梁基爵

明知道我不該愛你，為什麼好像有聯繫，
我也曾決意想忘記，一轉眼偏又想起你。

明知道我不該想你，為什麼好像有回憶，
我也曾決意想忘記，一轉眼偏又惦記你。

你莫非有魔力總叫我懷念你，懷唸著你的情意，
你莫非有魔力總叫我盼望你，盼望著和你在一起。

明知道我不該愛你，為什麼好像有聯繫，
我也曾決意想忘記，一轉眼偏又想起你。

I saw the colors of the rainbow
Up there against the distance sunglow
The air was soft and blue birds could hide
I wished that time was on my side
So I could ride that pretty rainbow
And fly across the western sky
So come with me and you'll see my friend
The colors of the rainbow's end

I always remember of how we used to meet
I heard sweet songs up above
The meadow was so green when I sat down to dream
That was the time when I found love

I saw the colors of the rainbow
Up there against the distance sunglow
One summer's days that rainbow came
To chase away the morning rain

I always remember of how we used to meet
I heard sweet songs up above

I saw the colors of the rainbow
Up there against the distance sunglow
One summer's day that rainbow came
To chase away the morning rain
I sat down to dream
And that was the time when I found love

詹小屏Judi Jim這名字，全於1967年11月中她在無線電視HK-TVB啟播初期，每逢週六晚上九時播出的一歌唱節目『星光晚會』中任主持歌手。其後才知悉她是早已在上世紀六十年代初，參加了一個由某報業機構主辦的公開歐西歌唱比賽中獲得冠軍，繼而獲得當時的商業電台邀約，在求學之餘充任歐西流行曲介紹節目主持。1966年間，她開始為EMI公司灌錄唱片，歐西及國語歌曲並重；憑着一副甜美的嗓子，她首唱已故著名作曲家姚敏的作品"忘不了的你"(英語版：Colours Of The Rainbow)，唱片推出後迅即風蜚了眾多的港澳流行樂迷，更成 了當年的一首經典歌曲。

46 ~ Seven Daffodils - Brothers Four

Seven Daffodils ~ Brothers Four 

I may not have mansion, I haven't any land 

Not even a paper dollar to crinkle in my hands 

But I can show you morning on a thousand hills

And kiss you and give you seven daffodils 

I do not have a fortune to buy you pretty things 

But I can weave you moonbeams for necklaces and rings 

And I can show you morning on a thousand hills 

And kiss you and give you seven daffodils

Oh seven golden daffodils all shining in the sun 

To light our way to evening when our day is done 

And I will give music and a crust of bread 

And a pillow of piny boughs to rest your head 

A pillow of piny boughs to rest your head

45 ~ All kinds Of Everything (1970) - Dana

作曲：Derry Lindsay & Jackie Smith

All Kinds of Everything (前 奏)

Snowdrops and daffodils, butterflies and bees
Sailboats and fishermen, things of the sea
Wishing wells, wedding bells, early morning dew
All kinds of everything remind me of you

Seagulls and aeroplanes, things of the sky
Winds that go howlin', breezes that sign
City sights, neon lights, gray skies or blue
All kinds of everything remind me of you

Summertime, wintertime, spring and autumn, too
Monday, Tuesday, everyday I think of you

Dances, romances things of the night
Sunshine and holidays, postcards to write
Budding trees, autumn leaves, a snowflake or two
All kinds of everything remind me of you

Summertime, wintertime, spring and autumn, too
Seasons will never change the way that I love you

Dances, romances things of the night
Sunshine and holidays, postcards to write
Budding trees, autumn leaves, a snowflake or two
All kinds of everything remind me of you

All kinds of everything remind me of you

44 ~ Day Is Done - Peter, Paul and Mary

Peter, Paul and Mary - 
Day Is Done

Live in Canada - 1981

作詞：Peter Yarrow   
作曲：Peter Yarrow
Day Is Done
Peter, Paul & Mary

Tell me why you're crying my son,
I know you're frightened like ev'ryone.
Is it the thunder in the distance you fear?
Will it help if I stay very near?
I am here.

And if you take my hand, my son,
All will be well when the day is done,
And if you take my hand, my son,
All will be well when the day is done.

Day is done (when the day is done),
Day is done (when the day is done),
Day is done (when the day is done),
Day is done.

Do you ask why I'm sighing, my son?
You shall inherit what mankind has done.
In a world filled with sorrow and woe
If you ask me why this is so
I really don't know.

And if you take my hand, my son,
All will be well when the day is done,
If you take my hand, my son,
All will be well when the day is done.

Day is done (when the day is done),
Day is done (when the day is done),
Day is done (when the day is done),
Day is done.

Tell me why you're smiling, my son,
Is there a secret you can tell everyone?
Do you know more than men that are wise?
Can you see what we all must disguise
Through your loving eyes?

And if you take my hand, my son,
All will be well when the day is done,
If you take my hand, my son,
All will be well when the day is done.

Day is done (when the day is done),
Day is done (when the day is done),
Day is done (when the day is done),
Day is done.

And if you take my hand, my son,
All will be well when the day is done,
If you take my hand, my son,
All will be well when the day is done.

雙星情歌 - 許冠傑
作詞：許冠傑/黎彼得
作曲：Wise Weisman Lloyd

曳搖共對輕舟飄　互傳誓約慶春曉

兩心相邀影相照　願化海鷗輕唱悅情調

艷陽下與妹相親　望諧白首永不分

美景醉人心相允　綠柳花間相對訂緣份

心兩牽　萬里阻隔相思愛莫變

離別淒酸今朝似未見　明日對花憶卿面

淚殘夢了燭影深　月明獨照冷鴛枕

醉擁孤衾悲不禁　夜半飲泣空帳獨懷憾

41 ~ First of May - Bee Gees

   

The Bee Gees- 'First of May'

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,

we used to love while others used to play.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
some one else moved in from far away.
(chorus)
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess we'll cry come first of May.
The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
the day I kissed your cheek and you were mine.
(chorus...)
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
do do do do do do do do do...
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
some one else moved in from far away. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_of_May_(Bee_Gees_song)

40 ~ A Lovers Concerto - The Lennon Sisters1960's

A Lovers Concerto
The Lennon Sisters1960's

(Denny randell / Sandy linzert)

How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up on the trees
Serenade the clouds with their melodies

Oh, see there beyond the hill
The bright colours of the rainbow
Some magic from above
Made this day for us just to fall in love

Now I belong to you
From this day until forever
Just love me tenderly
And I'll give to you every part of me

Oh, don't ever make me cry
Through long lonely nights without love
Be always true to me
Keep this day in your heart eternally

～～　 music　～～
Someday we shall return
To this place upon the meadow
We'll walk out in the rain
Hear the birds above singing once again

You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful

You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful

Just hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful

You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful

39 ~ A Place In The Sun - Engelbert Humperdinck

A Place in The Sun
Engelbert Humperdinck 

Like a long, lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' onLike a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free
Movin' on, movin' on

There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor, restless heart's got to run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Gotta find me a place in the sun

Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on
Like this tired, troubled Earth
I been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on

There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor, restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Gotta find me a place in the sun
Gotta find me a place in the sun

38 ~ Top Of The World - The Carpenters

 
Songwriters: Bettis, John;Carpenter, R

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

37 ~ 泥路上 - 盧冠廷

曲 : 盧冠廷 / 詞 : 鄭國江

泥路上 常與你　踏著細雨歸來

蓑衣半襲 雨裏並遊　豈不快哉 

雲淡淡 常與你　漫步細說將來

歌聲滿路 笑語滿懷 當初那知這是愛

離別了 方知當初 太笨呆　卻也太可愛

 還願你 珍惜當初 那份情　情懷莫變改

泥路上 懷過去　又覺愛似青苔

不經意地 細細蔓延　竟將我心滿蓋
