Rebecca Kilgore

I used to think that love and I were through
Till out of nowhere you came into view
I'm happy now to say
That all my skies of gray
Will surely fade away
Because

Someone like you
Cures ev'ry thing gloomy
Turns wrong into right
Brightens the night
Brings happiness to me
Makes me luckier than throwin' a seven
Takes me nearer to heaven
Than anyone's allowed to do
When your heart is talkin'
I feel like I'm walkin'
On a cloud with someone like you

Someday I'll find
Someone I can boast to
Somebody to hug
A bug in a rug
To snuggle up close to
And whenever I do
Do you know the who
Who I'll give the most to
You prey on my mind
Stay till I find
Someone like you

[Intrumental Bridge]

I feel like I'm walkin'
On a cloud with someone like you

Someday I'll find
Someone I can boast to
Somebody to hug
A bug in a rug
To snuggle up close to
And whenever I do
Do you know the who
Who I'll give the most to
You prey on my mind
Stay till I find
Someone like you

Luciano Pavarotti - Torna a Surriento


Torna a Surriento (1904)
Words: Giambattista de Curtis
Music: Ernesto de Curtis

Luciano Pavarotti
(sung in the Neapolitan dialect - not a written language)


Vide 'o mare quant’è bello
Spira tantu sentimento
Comme tu a chi tiene mente
Ca scetato 'o faje sunnà

Guarda, gua’, chistu ciardino
Siente, sie’ sti sciure arance
Nu profumo accussi fino
Dinto 'o core se ne va

E tu dice "I’parto, addio"
T’alluntane da stu core
Da sta terra de l’ammore
Tiene 'o core 'e nun turnà

Ma nun me lassà
Nun darme stu turmiento
Torna a Surriento
Famme campà

[Orchestral Bridge]

Vide 'o mare de Surriento
che tesoro tene 'n funno
Chi ha girato tutto 'o munno
Nun l'ha visto comm'a ccà

Guarda attuorno sti sserene
Ca te guardano 'ncantate
E te vonno tantu bene
Te vulessero vasà

E tu dice "I'parto, addio"
T'alluntane da stu core
Da sta terra de l'ammore
Tiene 'o core 'e nun turnà

Ma nun me lassà
Nun darme stu turmiento
Torna a Surriento
Famme campà
