One Night Composer(s): Mick Ralphs; Terry Thomas Performer(s): Bad Company
I ain't got no money, but I sure got style And if you got the time, girl, I'll show you how to smile Come on make your mind up, ooh baby take a chance Before this night is over, I'll show you how to dance, yeah
You like the danger, it's in your eyes, I can see it there Throw your dance with a stranger, kiss him goodbye, yeah, bye bye baby
Chorus: One night ain't no love affair, but I won't ask no more from you One night with you anywhere, heaven knows what we can do
So sophisticated, I like the way you dress The way you move your body, ooh, baby I'm obsessed I don't want no lifetime, I just want tonight Come on, take a chance, girl, I know you know it's right, yeah
I've got this feeling, it's feelin' so strong, when I first saw you You've got me reelin', don't prove me wrong, oh come on, baby
(chorus)
(Solo)
Yeah, you like the danger, it's in your eyes, I can see it, baby You took a chance with a stranger, kiss him goodbye, bye bye baby
Non Ho L'età (Dutch Version: Jij Bent Te Jong - 1996) Composer(s): Mario Panzeri; Nisa First release by: Gigliola Cinquetti - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
Non ho l'età, non ho l'età per amarti Non ho l'età per uscire sola con te E non avrei, non avrei nulla da dirti Perchè tu sai molte più cose di me
Lascia ch'io viva un amore romantico Nell'attesa che venga quel giorno, ma ora no Non ho l'età, non ho l'età per amarti Non ho l'età per uscire sola con te Se tu vorrai, se tu vorrai aspettarmi Quel giorno avrai tutto il mio amore per te Lascia ch'io viva un amore romantico Nell'attesa che venga quel giorno, ma ora no
Non ho l'età, non ho l'età per amarti Non ho l'età per uscire sola con te Se tu vorrai, se tu vorrai aspettarmi Quel giorno avrai tutto il mio amore per te
Merry Widow Waltz Composer(s): Franz Lehár; Adrian Ross Performer(s): The Mantovani Orch. and various other artists
Love unspoken, faith unbroken All life through Strings are playing, hear them saying "Love me true" Now the echo answers "Say you want me too" All the world's in love with love And I love you Young lovers all awake Night brings you waltz time And the moonlight sings in waltz time All the lanterns are swinging and burning low Where are the fond couples clinging As round they go? Young lovers all take heart Bright, siren beauty Play your part now, do your duty Let your heart sing this refrain! For it's waltz time once again Come away, come away to the ball Where the dreams that you dream will be true For the strings as they play seem to call Beckon and call to you Come away, come away to the waltz Float along on a lilting refrain To the land of desire where no heart can be false And the world shall be young again I hear the music play It carries me away All sorrows will have flown When you are mine and mine alone I hear the music play It carries me away All sorrows will have flown When you are mine and mine alone All mine alone All mine alone Mine alone Love unspoken, faith unbroken All life through Strings are playing, hear them saying "Love me true" Now the echo answers "Say you want me too" All the world's in love with love And I love you When you are mine alone All mine alone
One Morning In May Composer(s): Bill Keith; Jim Rooney Performer(s): James Taylor; and various other artists
One morning, one morning, one morning in May I spied a young couple, they were making their way One was a maiden so bright and so fair And the other was a soldier and a brave volunteer
Good morning, good morning, good morning said he And where are you going my pretty lady I'm goig out a walkin on the banks of the sea Just to see the waters gliding hear the nightingale sing
Now they had not been standing but a minute or two And out of his knapsack a fiddle he drew And the tune that he played made the valleys all ring Oh hark cried the maiden hear the nightingale sing
Oh maiden fair maiden tis time to give o'er Oh no kind soldier please play one tune more For I'd rather hear your fiddle at the touch of one string Than to see the waters gliding hear the nightingale sing
Oh soldier kind soldier will you marry me Oh no pretty maiden that never shall be I've a wife in London and children twice three Two wives and the army's too many for me
Well I'll go back to London and I'll stay there for a year It's often that I'll think of you my little dear And if ever I return it will be in the spring Just to see the waters gliding hear the nightingale sing To see the waters gliding hear the nightingale sing
Merlin's Time Composer(s): Al Stewart; Peter White Performer(s): Al Stewart
And I think of you now as a dream that I had long ago In a kingdom lost in time And in the forests of evening the archer is bending a bow And I see you bring him bread and wine
Down the ligneous years the invaders have taken these lands And bent you to their will And the murmurous fade of the ancients and all that they had But the magic lingers round you still
Oh who will walk the stony roads of Merlin's time And keep a watch along the boarder line? And who will hear the legends passed in song and rhyme Upon the shepard's pipes of Merlin's time?
Ich hab´ das schönste Land der Welt gesehn Das Gipfelkreuz der höchsten Berge Ich durfte durch den Garten Eden gehn mit all´ den Wundern dieser Erde Doch wenn ich sagen soll was mir das Schönste ist es ist Dein lächelndes Gesicht
Amore mio Du bist schön So wie ein Sonnenstrahl am Morgen Den Menschen die uns beide sehn bleibt meine Sehnsucht nicht verborgen Amore mio Du und ich Wir sind ein Herz und eine Seele In einem Leben ohne Dich wär´keine Liebe mehr für mich
Dein Lächeln jagt die dunklen Wolken fort die unseren Alltag manchmal trüben Und manchmal findest Du ein Zauberwort um alle Sorgen zu besiegen Die Welt ist wunderbar solange es Dich gibt Ich bin so sehr in Dich verliebt
Amore mio Du bist schön So wie ein Sonnenstrahl am Morgen Den Menschen die uns beide sehn bleibt meine Sehnsucht nicht verborgen Amore mio Du und ich Wir sind ein Herz und eine Seele In einem Leben ohne Dich wär´ keine Liebe mehr für mich
In einem Leben ohne Dich wär´ keine Liebe mehr für mich
One More Walk Around The Garden Composer(s): Burton Lane; Alan Jay Lerner Performer(s): Sarah Brightman; and various other artists
That old April yearning Once more is returning And I have a longing to wander
The leaves may be falling But April is calling And the prim roses beckon me yonder
For one more walk around the garden One more stroll along the shore One more memory I can dream upon Until I dream no more For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait And one more prayer it's not too late To gather one more rose Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate
That old urge is saying It's time to go straying Where no one but April can find me
To try and recover The heart of a lover That I left lying somewhere behind me
Just one more walk around the garden One more stroll along the shore One more memory I can dream upon Until I dream no more For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait And one more prayer it's not too late To gather one more rose Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate
Non È Più La Mia Canzone
((Adapted from: What Have They Done To My Song Ma (by Melanie Safka) - 1970))
((French Version: Ils Ont Changé Ma Chanson (by Dalida) - 1970))
Composer(s): Melanie Safka - Mogol
Performer(s): Dalida - 1970
Non è più la mia canzone Non è più mia oramai Io che l'avevo sritta in una soffitta Amavo la mia canzone Non è più mia oramai
Non son più mie le parole Le hanno cambiate perchè Cantavo la mia vita, ma non l'han capita Ho quasi pianto quando l'ho sentita Non è più mia oramai
Io raccontavo il mio amore Io raccontavo il mio amor Scrivendola il mio cuore avevo messo Puo darsi che farà successo, ma Non é più la mia canzone
lls ont changé ma chanson, ma Ils ont changé ma chanson Moi qui l'avais écrite, paroles et musique J'aimais bien ma chanson, ma Ils ont changé ma chanson
Han tradito la mia canzone E insieme a lei anche me Una canzone in fondo non è niente Eppur m'han fatto male veramente Non è più la mia canzone
La, la, la...
Ma in fondo al mio cuore, non c'è una promessa Io perdo il successo ma resto me stessa La mia canzone non vivrà
Non è più mia canzone L'hanno cambiata ormai Ma in fondo al mio cuore, non c'è una promessa Io perdo il successo ma resto me stessa La mia canzone non vivrà

One More Time To Live Composer(s): John Lodge Performer(s): The Moody Blues
Look out of my window See the world passing by See the look in her eye
One more time to live and I have made it mine Leave the wise to write for they write worldy rhymes
and he who wants to fight begins the end of time For I have riches more than these For I have riches more than these
Desolation Creation (Tell me someone why there's only confusion) Evolution (Tell me someone that this is all an illusion) Pollution (Tell me someone) Saturation (Tell me someone) Population Annihilation Revolution (Tell me someone why this talk of revolution) confusion (Tell me someone when we're changing evolution) Illusion (Tell me someone) Conclusion (Tell me someone) Starvation Degredation Humiliation Contemplation (Changes in my life) Inspiration Elation (Changes in my life) Salvation (Changes in my life) Communication Compassion Solution
Look out on the hedgerow As the world rushes by Hear the birds sing such
One more tree will fall how strong the growing vine Turn the earth to sand and still commit no crime How one thought will live provide the others die For I have riches more than these For I have riches more than these
(Repeat middle part)
Look out of my window See the world passing by See the look in her eye

One More Sunrise German Title: Morgen Composer(s): Karl Mosser; Noel Sherman Performer(s): Petula Clark; Leslie Uggams
One more sunrise One more day to get through One more sunrise One more day without you And false lips that I knew could never be true
One more (one more) sunrise (sunrise) Now the heartaches begin Wond'rin' (wond'rin') wand'rin' (wand'rin') Through the places we've been Hopin' that I can keep my sunny-side grin
Though our love is dead and gone In my heart it still lives on and on Feel like some poor dyin' swan Tired of flyin', tryin', day by day I'm dyin'
One more sunrise One more day we're apart One more sunrise One more daybreak for a breakin' heart
One more sunrise One more daybreak for a brea-a-kin' hear-ear-ear-ear-eart

My baby she may not a-look Like one of those bunnies out of a Playboy Club But she got somethin' much greater than gold Crazy bout that girl 'cause she got so much soul
I said she got the kind of lovin', kissin' and a-huggin' Sure is mellow, glad that I'm her fellow and I know That she knocks me off my feet Have mercy on me 'Cause she knocks me off my feet There is no girl in the whole world That can love me like you do
My baby when she walks by All the fellows go mmmm, and I know why It's simply 'cause that girl she looks so fine And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind [repeat chorus]
Everybody in the neighborhood Will testify that my girl she looks so good She's so fine she'd give eyesight to the blind And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind [repeat chorus]
Baby, yeah, you got that soulful feel, yeah, it's all right Mercy, mercy, mercy
One More Sign Composer(s): Neil Young Performer(s): Buffalo Springfield
No, I'm not gonna to hide my feelings Couldn't if I tried No, I'm not holding them inside Holding back is so close to stealing Though we both have tried We could lose it all if we lied
Someday it's later than The feelings we have now It's of the ground I've always played around But now I don't know how
Listen easy because I'm saying What I mean this time Sharing words I always said were mine I was breezy, now I'm swaying Like the tree we climbed Asking you to give me one more sign

One More Saturday Night Composer(s): Bob Weir; Robert Hunter Performer(s): Grateful Dead; Bees Make Honey; Kingfish; David Murray; The Persuasions
I went down to the mountain, I was drinking some wine I looked up into heaven, lord I saw a mighty sign Writ in fire across the heaven, plain as black and white Get prepared, there's gonna be a party tonight
Chorus Uh huh, hey, Saturday night One more Saturday night Hey, Saturday night
Everybody's dancing down at the local armory With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery Temperature keeps rising, everybody getting high Come the rocking stroke of midnight, the whole place is gonna fly
[chorus]
I turn on Channel Six, the President comes on the news Says I got no satisfaction, that's why I sing the blues His wife says don't get crazy, Lord you know what to do Just crank that old Victrola, put on your rocking shoes
[chorus]
Then God way up in heaven, for whatever it was worth Thought he'd have a big old party, thought he'd call it planet earth Don't worry about tomorrow, Lord, you'll know it when it comes When the rocking, rolling music meets the rising, shining sun
Ik Kreeg Toen De Schuld Van Jou Composer(s): P. Kartner Performer(s): Corry Konings
Ik kreeg toen de schuld van jou Maar jij was mij ook niet trouw Toch liet jij mij hier alleen Waar moet ik nou heen Jij hebt mij geluk gebracht Nooit had ik er aan gedacht Dat het ooit nog stuk zou gaan Kijk mij eenmaal aan
Wanneer komt de tijd dat jij me weer trug wil zien Of heb je voorgoed een ander na mij misschien Is het nu tussen ons dan voorgoed voorbij Eens heb jij mij toch gezegd, jij bent altijd van mij
Waarom ging die droom voorbij Want jij houd niet meer van mij Niets was mooier op deez aard Niets was toch meer waard
Ik kreeg toen de schuld van jou Maar jij was mij ook niet trouw Toch liet jij mij hier alleen Waar moet ik nou heen
Wanneer komt de tijd dat jij me weer trug wil zien Of heb je voorgoed een ander na mij misschien Is het nu tussen ons dan voorgoed voorbij Eens heb jij mij toch gezegd, jij bent altijd van mij
Ik kreeg toen de schuld van jou Maar jij was mij ook niet trouw Toch liet jij mij hier alleen Waar moet ik nou heen Waar moet ik nou heen
One More Red Nightmare Composer(s): Robert Fripp; Richard Palmer-James; John Wetton Performer(s): King Crimson; Realm
Pan American nightmare Ten thousand feet fun-fair Convinved that I dont care Its safe as houses I swear I was just sitting musing The virtues of cruising When altitude dropping My ears started popping One more red nightmare
Sweat beginning to pour down My neck as I turn round I heard fortune shouting Just get off of this outing A farewell swan song See you know how turbulence can be The stewardess made me One more red nightmare
Reality stirred me My angel had heard me The prayer had been answered A reprieve has been granted The dream was now broken Thought rudely awoken Really safe and sound Asleep on the greyhound One more red nightmare
