GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #355 (GOLQ355)
Hello Everyone and welcome to the August 2016 version of the quiz.
As usual there is an assortment of easily recognized lyrics and a few head
scratchers.
To (possibly) make things easier all 27 songs contain one of two references
in the lyrics, title or artist name. The two references may be considered
to be related to each other. There are at least two songs that contain
both references.
Confused? You won't be after you solve GOLQ 355.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The secret way you hold my hand
To let me know you understand
The wind and rain upon your face
The breathless world of your embrace
#01)
Who's tripping down
The streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees
Who's reaching out to capture a moment
#02)
I may go out to Alberta
Weather's good there in the fall
Got some friends that I could
Go to working for
#03)
Saving up your money for a rainy day
Giving all your clothes to charity
Last night the wife said
Oh boy when you're dead
#04)
Now it will be
My favorite memory
That vision of you
Standing there
Oh, there in the mist
How you sighed when we kissed
#05)
The only girl I care about has gone away.
Looking for a brand new start!
But little does she know that when she left that day.
Along with her she took my heart
#06)
Since my love has left me
I'm so all alone
I would bring her back to me
But I don't know where she's gone
I don't know where she's gone
#07)
A heart beats softly
About to die
Wandering alone at night
Waiting for the
Storm to pass away
#08)
And we went a little further
You wanna hear the rest of it
I might as well
The wind blew her hair in the street
#09)
Once on a high and windy hill
In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed
And the world stood still
#10)
In the spring of my life
She came to me
She brought sunshine
Where winter winds had blown
#11)
Everything that's wonderful
Is sure to come your way
When you're in love to stay
#12)
Thunder, lightning, wind and rain
Love is storming inside my brain
#13)
Wind and storm
Gone's the sun
From the stars
My dark has come
#14)
Caught up in a summer shower
Drying while it soaks the flowers
Maybe we`ll be caught for hours
Waiting out the sun
#15)
You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me, and with your kiss the world begins
You're Spring to me, all things to me
You're life itself
#16)
Now the days are lonely
The song of love is still
They say that I'll forget you
But I say I never will
#17)
Is it wetter underwater if you're there when it rains
Is it shorter to New York, than it is by plane
Between myself and I, I wonder who's the dumber
Is it hotter down south than it is in the Summer
#18)
There was a time my love was needed
My life completed
My dreams come true
Then came the time my life was haunted
My love unwanted
All for you
#19)
The Hawk
The Almighty Hawk
Mister Wind
Takes care of plenty business
'Round winter time
#20)
Like the winds that bring high tides
You bring sorrow and grief
You made me ashamed to face Mary
Barely had the strength to tell
Skies are not so black
Mary took me back
Mary has broken your spell
#21)
Every time it rains it rains
#22)
Sunshine, blue skies
Please go away
My girl has found another
And gone away
With her went my future
#23)
From Central Park
To Pasadena's such a long way
I feel so out of it
Walkin' down Broadway
#24)
I love your love,
All the things that lovers do now, baby,
I can tell
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
My sweetheart's name is Sally Brown
She used to live in Nassau town
In a jealous fight I shot a man
Now I have to run away to a far-off land
So I roamed and I roamed for a long long time
Trying to find peace of mind
#T1)
The lovely day we met
I still remember well
Who cared if it was wet
'Cause like the rain we fell
An April afternoon
#T2)
