Tony Christie - Medley 1999

Tony Christie - Medley 1999

1. Is this the way to Amarillo (1971)
When the day is dawning,
On a Texas Sunday Morning
How I long to be there
With Marie whos waiting for me there
Every lonely city
Where I hang my hat
Aint as half as pretty,
As where my baby's at

Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night ive been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
Ive been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me

2. I did what I did for Maria (1971)
Sun rise this is the last day
that I'll ever see
out in the court-yard
they're ready for me
but I go to my Lord with no fear
'cos I did what I did for Maria.

Take an eye for an eye
and a life for a life
and somebody must die
for the death of my wife
yes I did what I did for Maria
I did what I did for Maria.

3. Sweet September (1979)
When I think of you and all the happiness we knew
Something deep inside denies it ever could be true
Sweet September rain if you would please return again
And tell me,was it oh so easy for her to deceive me then

Such a sweet September,it´s a time I will remember
All my life that memory will haunt my dreams
And I´ll miss you,just to kiss you
Would be heaven and it seems
When you´ve lost your lover
That´s a feeling you discover
Like you´re lost and such a long,long way home
I´ll remember that September
Though we´ll never meet again

4. Avenues and Alleyways (1973)
Wake up my pretty
Go to the city
Stay through the daytime
safe in the sunshine
stay till the daytime
turns into night.

In the Avenues and Alleyways
Where a mans gotta work out which side he's on
any way he chooses
chances are he loses
no one gets to live too long.

The avenues and alleyways
Where the soul of a man is easy to buy
everybody's wheeling
everybody's steeling
all the low are living high.

Every city's got em
can we ever stop em
some of us are gonna try.

5. Down in Mexico
Down in Mexico
When I kissed my pretty Rosita
I knew that I would fall in love

Down in Mexico
When I danced with my Senorita
I felt I touched the rainbow high above

6. Come back Diana (1993)

7. Kiss in the night (1990)

8. September Love (1991)

9. Come with me to Paradise (1991)
Come with me to paradise my love,
paradise my love,
ev'ry day we'll see a golden morning.
Come with me to paradise my love,
paradise my love,
we can flout a way among the stars.

Come with me to paradise my love,
paradise my love,
ev'ry day we'll see a golden morning.
Come with me to paradise my love,
paradise my love,
we can flout a way among the stars.

Hi fritz5174, this is a great medley and well done for including all the lyrics - brilliant idea!

Brilliant, I knew him when he was still Tony Fitzgerald, fantastic voice

[maxray1215]

wow...how i love his song, he possesses the magic to make people who listen to his song become younger and younger!!!

[bodgeballrallies]

It seems to me, sadly, that all of this is mimed and he doesnt sing a single note "live". Its sad coz i'm a great admirer of Tony.
