You Take My Breath Away Composer(s): Claire Hamill First release by: Claire Hamill - 1974
Sometimes it amazes me how strong the power of love can be and sometimes you just take my breath away You've watched my love grow like a child sometimes gentle and sometimes wild and sometimes you just take my breath away
It's too good to slip by it's too good to lose too good to be there just to use Gonna stand on a mountain top and tell the news that you take my breath away
Your beauty is there in all I see and when I feel your eyes on me ooh don't you know you just take my breath away My life is yours my heart will be singing for you eternally oh don't you know you just take my breath away
It's too good to slip by it's too good to lose too good to be there just to use Gonna stand on a mountain top and tell the news that you take my breath away
Sometimes it amazes me how strong the power of love can be and sometimes you just take my breath away My life is yours my heart will be singing for you eternally oh don't you know you just take my breath away
It's too good to slip by it's too good to lose too good to be there just to use Gonna stand on a mountain top and tell the news that you take my breath away
Mourir En Toi Composer(s): Georges Chelon; Claude Valois
Performer(s): Georges Chelon
Plus fort que les mots, il y a le silence Et nos corps lentement balancent Au-delà des serments qui mentent comme les rêves Il y a l'envie de boire tes lèvres Sur le sable encore chaud, donne-moi rien qu'une heure Je veux mourir en toi comme les vagues meurent Surtout ne me dis pas d'où tu viens, où tu vas Tu es femme et tu es l'autre moitié de moi Et puis mourir en toi Et puis me fondre en toi Comme l'eau dans la terre Le fleuve dans la mer Je veux me perdre en toi Et puis mourir en toi Et puis me fondre en toi Comme un vaisseau perdu Je ne reviendrai plus Je veux mourir en toi J'ai les yeux grands ouverts Mais je ne te vois pas Tu me serres, et pourtant j'ai froid J'entends battre ton cur Mais c'est plus comme avant Avant je l'entendais dedans Pourquoi m'as-tu chassé? J'étais bien dans ton ventre Je veux y retourner J'ai peur et tu me manques Et puis mourir en toi Et puis me fondre en toi Comme l'eau dans la terre Le fleuve dans la mer Je veux me perdre en toi Et puis mourir en toi Et puis me fondre en toi Comme un vaisseau perdu Je ne reviendrai plus Je veux mourir en toi

I keep waiting for a song to come and sing you back to me I never felt so free as when I had you Our rhythm was the best that's touched the likes of me I was really me when I had you

My radio still plays the songs you like to hear I wish you were here; oh, I need you I'll take the time and tune the station in real clear As if you were here; oh, I love you
Give me back that old familiar feeling It left me feeling like I was someone Give me back the song we sang in harmony Just you and me singing together

Give me back that old familiar feeling It left me feeling like I was someone Give me back the song we sang in harmony Just you and me singing together
Take My Breath Away Composer(s): Margo Smith Performer(s): Margo Smith
I've been waitin', waitin' so long For you to bring your love, where it belongs Lord knows I've prayed, Your body lying, in my arms
Now at last, you're next to me About to give love, tenderly And all I can say Is baby, take my breath away
Take my breath away And leave me breathless, helpless and weak As you smother me with kisses Till my lips no longer speak
And if I die, at least I'll have known The true meaning of ecstasy So go ahead And take the breath right out of me
Take my breath away And leave me breathless, helpless and weak As you smother me with kisses Till my lips no longer speak
(And you know something baby) (If I was to die) (There's one thing I'd know for sure) (That we knew the meaning of ecstacy) (So go ahead) And take the breath right out of me

Sterven In De Zon French Title: Mourir Au Soleil Performer(s): Herman van Veen (Originally performed by: Jean Ferrat)
Ik wil sterven in de zon in een wei groene wei niet in een klam verkreukeld bed waar al een kruis naast is gezet zonder een bloem, zonder een bij zonder een bij
Ik wil sterven in de zon in een veld korenveld niet in een weeë wierookgeur vol van gefluister aan de deur terwijl een klok de uren telt de uren telt
Ik wil sterven in de zon op de hei paarse hei leeuwerik zing boven m'n land hier neemt de dood mij bij de hand de bramen in mijn mond zijn rijp zoet en rijp
Give Me An Inch Composer(s): Robert Palmer Performer(s): Robert Palmer; Hurricane
Give me an inch, girl Give me an inch, girl Give me an inch, girl Give me an inch, girl
My eyes show me more than I've seen But unlike my poor heart they're not cautious I got to thinking love was a dream Misunderstanding my fortunes I should have taken more heed of my heart Telling me how to live
But if you give me an inch, girl I'll give you a mile Oh, I'll make it all worth while And I'll make you see Just how much you mean to me
Well ain't it easy to go head-over-heels When you need the right person You got to learn to smile about it Nothing you do will feel certain Here I stand with my heart in command And it's you I want to be with
Give me an inch, girl I'm in need of you Don't leave me in the cold When I want to trust in you Don't turn me away Life can be a worry When it's all work and no play
Give me an inch, girl I'll give you a mile Oh, I'll make it all worth while And I'll make you see Just how much Just how much you mean to me Give me an inch, I'll give you a mile And I'll make you see Just how much, just how much you mean to me Give me an inch, girl Oh , I'm in need of you Don't leave me in the cold When I want to trust in you

Mourir Au Soleil Dutch Title: Sterven In De Zon Composer(s): Jean Ferrat Originally performed by: Jean Ferrat Covered by: Herman van Veen
Je voudrais mourir debout, dans un champ, au soleil Non dans un lit aux draps froissés A l'ombre close des volets Par où ne vient plus une abeille Une abeille ...
Je voudrais mourir debout, dans un bois, au soleil Sans entendre tout doucement La porte et le chuchotement Sans objet des femmes et des vieilles Et des vieilles ...
Je voudrais mourir debout, n'importe où, au soleil Tu ne serais pas là j'aurais Ta main que je pourrais serrer La bouche pleine de groseilles De groseilles ...

Mountain Of Love
((French Version: Les Monts Près Du Ciel (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1965))
Composer(s): Harold Dorman
First release by: Harold Dorman - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
Standing on a mountain looking down on a city The way I feel is a doggone pity Teardrops fallin' down a mountainside Many times I've been here, many times I've cried We used to be so happy when we were in love High on a mountain of love
Night after night I'm a-standing here alone Weepin' my heart out till cold gray dawn Prayin' that you're lonely and you come here too Hoping just by chance that I'll get a glimpse of you Tryin' hard to find you, somewhere up above High on a mountain of love
A mountain of love, a mountain of love, you should be ashamed We used to be a mountain of love But you just changed your name
Way down below there's a half a million people Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers Wedding bells are ringin' and they shoulda been ours That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone above High on a mountain of love
A mountain of love, a mountain of love, you should be ashamed We used to be a mountain of love But you just changed your name
Way down below there's a half a million people Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers Wedding bells are ringin' that shoulda been ours That's why I'm so lonely My dreams gone above High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love High on a mountain of love High on a mountain of love

Take Me To The River Composer(s): Al Green - Teenie Hodges First release by: Al Green - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
I don't know why I love her like I do All the changes you put me through Take my money, my cigarettes I haven't seen the worst of it yet I wanna know that you'll tell me I love to stay Take me to the river, drop me in the water Take me to the river, dip me in the water Washing me down, washing me down
I don't know why you treat me so bad Think of all the things we could have had Love is an ocean that I can't forget My sweet sixteen I would never regret
I wanna know that you'll tell me I love to stay Take me to the river, drop me in the water Push me in the river, dip me in the water Washing me down, washing me
Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me Till I can't, till I can't, till I can't take no more of it Take me to the water, drop me in the river Push me in the water, drop me in the river Washing me down, washing me down
I don't know why I love you like I do All the troubles you put me through Sixteen candles there on my wall And here am I the biggest fool of them all
I wanna know that you'll tell me I love to stay Take me to the river and drop me in the water Dip me in the river, drop me in the water Washing me down, washing me down
Mountain Greenery Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Lorenz Hart Originally performed by: Sterling Holloway & Bobbie Perkins Covered by various other artists
On the first of May, it is moving day Spring is here, so blow your job Throw your job away! Now's the time to trust To your wanderlust In the city's dust you wait, must you wait Just you wait.......!
In a mountain greenery Where God paints the scenery Just two crazy people together While you love your lover Let blue skies, be your coverlet When it rains we'll laugh at the weather And if you're good, I'll search for wood So you can cook... while I stand looking Beans could get no keener reception in a beanery Bless our mountain greenery home!
Simple cooking means More than French Cuisines I've a banquet planned which is Sandwiches and beans Coffee's just as grand With a little sand Eat and you'll grow fatter, boy `smatter boy? Huh, huh! `Atta boy
In a mountain greenery Where God paints the scenery Just two crazy people together How-how-how-how-how we love sequestering Where no pests are pestering No dear momma holds us in tether Mosquitoes here Won't bite you dear I'll let them sting, me on the finger! Beans could get no keener reception in a beanery Bless our mountain greenery Far from life's machinery Bless our mountain greenery home!
