Amy Winehouse sings Teach Me Tonight with Jools Holland's Rhythm and Blues Orchestra




_____



music by Gene De Paul
lyrics by Sammy Cahn


performed by Amy Winehouse
with Jools Holland's Rhythm and Blues Orchestra



Teach Me Tonight


Did you say I have a lot to learn
Well baby don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Go on teach me tonight

Starting with the ABC of it
Roll right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Ooh go on teach me tonight

The sky's a blackboard high above you
If a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky

One thing isn't very clear my love
Should the teacher stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
Ooh teach me tonight

I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky

One thing isn't very clear my love
Should the teacher stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
Oh teach me oh teach me tonight

Angel from Montgomery


I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child that's grown old
If dreams were thunder and lightnin' was desire
This old house would've burned down a long time ago

Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing I can hold onto
To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at--just a free ramblin' man
But that was a long time--no matter how I tried
The years just flowed by like a broken down dam

Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold onto
To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen--I can hear their buzzin'
Ain't done nothin' since I woke up today
How the hell can a person go to work in the mornin'
And come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say

Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
You got to give me just one thing I can hold onto
To believe in this livin' is such a hard way to go

(You Want To) Make A Memory


Hello again, it's you and me
Kind of always like it used to be
Sipping wine, killing time
Trying to solve life's mysteries

How's your life, it's been a while
God it's good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys
Looking for a reason not to leave

If you don't know if you should stay
If you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be
You want to make a memory

I dug up this old photograph
Look at all that hair we had
It's bittersweet to hear you laugh
Your phone is ringing--I don't want to ask

If you go now I'll understand
If you stay, hey I got a plan
You want to make a memory

You want to steal a piece of time
You could sing the melody to me
And I could write a couple lines
You want to make a memory

If you don't know if you should stay
And you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be

You want to make a memory
You want to steal a piece of time
You could sing the melody to me
And I could write a couple lines

You want to make a memory
You want to make a memory
