Ce Soir Mon Amour
Composer(s): Georges Moustaki
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki
Ce soir mon amour je ne t'aime plus Tu es plus loin que la distance qui nous sépare Et d'autant plus absente que tu n'es nulle part Plus étrangère que la première venue
Ce soir mon amour je ne te cherche plus Parmi mes souvenirs au fond de ma mémoire Je ne t'attends plus sur le quai d'aucune gare Je me souviens à peine t'y avoir attendue
Je sais que nous buvions du vin après l'amour Que nos nuits commençaient quand se levait le jour Comme un torrent d'ébène tes cheveux sur ton cou Et ton regard meurtri quand tu fais les yeux doux
Ce soir mon amour je ne te trompe plus Avec cette fille qui dort à mes côtés J'étais seul je lui ai demandé de rester Je suis seul très souvent et je m'y habitue
Ce soir mon amour tu ne me manques plus Tu ne me manques pas il me manque d'aimer De ne plus être inutile inanimé De n'avoir rien à perdre et d'avoir tout perdu
Je connais ta folie je connais ta pudeur Je sais qu'on se ressemble comme frère et sur Je connais ton odeur je connais ton parfum Je te connais par cur et je ne sais plus rien
De toi mon amour que je n'aime plus Sans arriver à me sentir enfin libre Pareil à un danseur qui perdrait l'équilibre Comme un prince en disgrâce comme un ange déchu
For You Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen; and various other artists
Princess cards she sends me with her regards Oh, bar-room eyes shine vacancy To see her you gotta look hard Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted To her cheshire smile I'll stand on file She's all I ever wanted You let your blue walls stand in the way of these facts, honey Get your carpet baggers off my back Girl give me time to cover my tracks You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks" But they're not what I came for Oh I came for so much more And I know you that too And I know you know that's true
I came for you I came for you I came for you For you I came for you
Crawl into my ambulance Your pulse is getting weak Reveal yourself all to me now While you've got the strength to speak 'Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue With their oxygen masks But I could give it all to you now If only you could ask Don't call for your surgeon Even he says it's late It's not your lungs this time But your heart holds your fate Don't give me my money back Don't want it anymore It's not that nursery mouth I came back for It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor I've broken all your windows And I've rammed through all your doors Who am I to ask you to fight my wars And you should know that's true You should know that too
I came for you I came for you I came for you For you I came for you
Don't call for your surgeon Even he says it's late It's not your lungs this time But your heart holds your fate Don't give me my money back Don't want it anymore It's not that nursery mouth I came back for It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor I've broken all your windows And I've rammed through all your doors Who am I to ask you to fight my wars You should know that's true You should know that too
I came for you I came for you I came for you For you I came for you

Ce Soir Je Ne Dors Pas Composer(s): Michel Berger Performer(s): France Gall
Ce soir, je ne dors pas Comme la toute toute première fois Où tu es venu contre moi Où j'avais peur de toi Ce soir, je ne dors pas Comme la toute toute première fois Où tu dormais dans mes bras Où je prononçais ton nom tout bas
Quand j'étais enfant, mon prince charmant Était si différent de toi Quand j'étais enfant, mon prince charmant Était bien autrement, pourquoi
Ce soir je ne dors pas C'est la toute toute première fois Que je te sais loin de moi Et le vide n'en finit pas
Quand j'étais enfant, mon prince charmant Était si différent de toi Quand j'étais enfant, mon prince charmant Était bien autrement, pourquoi
Ce soir je ne dors pas C'est la toute toute première fois Où je comprends que c'est toi Ce garçon que je n'attendais pas
For What It's Worth Composer(s): Stephen Stills Performer(s): Buffalo Springfield; and various other artists
There's something happening here And what it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I've got to beware Think it's time we stop children, what's that sound Everybody look what's goin' down
There's battle lines being drawn And nobody's right, if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds A-getting so much resistance from behind And we stop, what's that sound Everybody look what's goin' down
What a field day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs Mostly say "hooray for our side" It's time to stop, hey what's that sound Everybody look what's goin' down
Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid Step outta line, the men come and take you away You betta stop, hey what's that sound Everybody look what's goin' now Stop, hey what's that sound Everybody look what's goin' now You betta stop, now, what's that sound Everybody look what's goin' now Stop, children ..........
Tell me just what you want me to be One kiss and boom you're the only one for me So please tell me why don't you come around no more 'Cause right now I'm crying outside the door of your candy store
It just takes a little bit of this A little bit of that It started with a kiss Now we're up to bat A little bit of laughs A little bit of pain I'm telling you, my babe It's all in the game of love...
... (love) is, whatever you make it to be Sunshine instead of this cold, lonely sea So please baby try and use me for what I'm good for It ain't sayin' goodbye its knocking down the door of your candy store
It just takes a little bit of this A little bit of that It started with a kiss Now we're up to bat A little bit of laughs A little bit of pain I'm telling you, my babe It's all in the game of love...
It's all in this game of love You roll me Control me Console me Please hold me You guide me Divide me Into one...
So please tell me why don't you come around no more 'Cause right now I'm dying outside the door of your loving store
It just takes a little bit of this A little bit of that It started with a kiss Now we're up to bat A little bit of laughs A little bit of pain I'm telling you, my babe It's all in the game of love...
It's all in this game of love It's all in the game of love Lets play the game of love
Roll me Control me Please hold me (make me feel good, yeah)
Ce Soir Ils Vont S'aimer
Composer(s): Pierre-André Dousset - Christian Gaubert
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu
Ce soir, ils vont s'aimer, leur cur est amoureux Ce soir, le monde entier pourra tourner sans eux Ils sont venus ce soir, se tenant par la main Dans ce petit bistrot à Saint-Germain
Ce soir, ils vont s'aimer, leur cur est amoureux Ce soir, le ciel d'un lit se fermera sur eux Ils lisent leur amour dans le creux de leur main Je vois leurs yeux remplis de lendemain
Ce soir, ils vont s'aimer, leur cur est amoureux Ce soir, un grand amour va commencer pour eux Dans un éclat de rire, ils se sont embrassés Je les ai vus partir, émerveillés
Ce soir, ils vont s'aimer, leur cur est amoureux Ce soir, ils vont s'aimer comme on s'aime nous deux Je sais qu'à Saint-Germain à notre rendez-vous Les amoureux, demain, ce sera nous
For The Very First Time Composer(s): Dennis "Terry Cashman" Minogue; Gene Pistilli; T.P. West Performer(s): Bobby Goldsboro
Anywhere that you go I'll follow along I'd be a fool to keep on singin' my own song I never thought about love up until now I guess it's time I started learnin' how
Chorus: You smiled at me and "give in" swelled inside my mind For the very first time I thought of lovin' things I want them to be yours and mine For the very first time I find myself in love
"Ain't no such thing as always" I used to say But now that I've found you, here is where I'll always stay You know how much I need you, I know myself I'd rather miss you, darlin', than be with someone else
The Game Composer(s): Ian McCulloch - Les Pattinson - Will Sergeant First release by: Echo & The Bunnymen - 1987
A sense of duty was my one intention and an ugly beauty was my own invention Pride a proud refusal and I refuse to need your approval Too many seekers Too few beacons But through the fog we'll keep on beaming
Through the crying hours of your glitter years all the living out of your tinsel tears and the midnight trains I never made 'cos I'd already played... the game
Everybody's got their own good reason why their favorite season is their favorite season Winter winners and those summers sons aren't good for everyone aren't good for everyone Spring has sprung and autumns well done so well done
And it's a better thing that we do now forgetting everything the whys and hows While you reminisce about the things you miss you won't be ready to kiss... goodbye
The earth is a world The world is a ball A ball in a game with no rules at all And just as I wonder at the beauty of it all you go and drop it and it breaks and falls
I'll never understand why you thought I would need to be reassured and be understood When I always knew that your bad's my good and I was ready ready... to be loved
Born under Mars With Jupiter rising Fallen from stars That lit my horizon
I'll never understand why you thought I would need to be reassured and be understood When I always knew that your bad's my good and I was ready ready... to be
Through the crying hours of your glitter years all the living out of your tinsel tears and the midnight trains I never made 'cos I'd already played
it's a better thing that we do now forgetting everything the whys and hows While you reminisce about the things you miss you won't be ready to kiss... goodbye
ce soir il y a quel'qu'un qui m'emmène dîner pour m'arranger un peu je vais me faire les yeux ce soir il y a quel'qu'un que j'aimerais regarder écouter de mon mieux car sans savoir ce qu'il veut j'ai envie de lui plaire j'ai envie de lui plaire et j'ai peur qu'il me plaise je n'oserai rien faire je n'oserai rien faire je serai mal à l'aise j'ai envie de lui plaire j'ai envie de lui plaire et j'ai peur qu'il me plaise qu'il me plaise je serai mal à l'aise ce soir il y a quel'qu'un qui m'emmène dîner pour m'arranger un peu je vais laver mes cheveux j'ai envie de lui plaire j'ai envie de lui plaire et j'ai peur qu'il me plaise je n'oserai rien faire je n'oserai rien faire je serai mal à l'aise j'ai envie de lui plaire j'ai envie de lui plaire et j'ai peur qu'il me plaise qu'il me plaise je serai mal à l'aise j'ai envie de lui plaire j'ai envie de lui plaire et j'ai peur qu'il me plaise je n'oserai rien faire je n'oserai rien faire je serai mal à l'aise j'ai envie de lui plaire j'ai envie de lui plaire et j'ai peur qu'il me plaise qu'il me plaise j'ai bien peur qu'il me plaise
For The Sake Of Auld Lang Syne Composer(s): George Graffe; Annelu Burns; Ernest R. Ball
The pain will come back tomorrow, but I want to forget tonight so for old time's sake, won't you still the ache and bring back love's sunshine so bright?
If mem'ries no longer thrill you, and your heart has forgotten all then because I care, give me just one share of happiness I can recall
For the sake of "Auld Lang Syne" take me in your arms again while my heart pretends we're the same old friends and forgets for awhile its pain Only kiss me, and I'll remember once again for a moment you're mine If once more you'll be what you were to me for the sake of Auld Lang Syne
The Gambler Composer(s): Don Schlitz First release by: Don Schlitz - 1978 Covered by multiple other artists
On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness 'Til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak
He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes And if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice"
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away and know when to run You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin' Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep 'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep"
And when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away and know when to run You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
Ce Serait Marrant Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Ce serait marrant d'imaginer Qu'on ne s'est jamais rencontrés Que ce jour-là, c'était pas moi, pas moi Mais cette autre moitié de moi Un peu l'envers de mon endroit Celle que je ne vois qu'une fois par mois Chez toi
Ne perds pas la tête Ajuste bien tes carreaux Calculons de tête Y'a une moitié de trop Ne t'affoles pas, ne hurles pas, ne mollis pas Si tu n'aimes que moi Sauras-tu jamais si c'est mon double Ou bien si c'est moi qui te trouble Quand sur toi se posent mes doigts, mes doigts
Ce serait marrant d'imaginer Qu'on ne s'est jamais rencontrés Que ce jour-là, c'était pas moi, pas moi Mais cette autre moitié de moi Un peu l'envers de mon endroit Celle que je ne vois qu'une fois par mois Chez toi
Ce serait trop bête qu'il y ait un quiproquo Je serais la bête, et toi tu serais l'agneau Je serais violent, incohérent Du bout des dents je te dirais vas-t'en Moi qui t'offrais quelquefois des fleurs J'aurais à la place du coeur Une bien étrange noirceur, noirceur
Ce serait marrant d'imaginer Qu'on ne s'est jamais rencontrés Que ce jour-là, c'était pas moi, pas moi Que tu pourrais me raconter Que tu ne m'as jamais aimé Que tu avais imaginé qu'un jour... Ce serait marrant d'imaginer Qu'on aurait pu se rencontrer Et qu'on aurait bien pu s'aimer d'amour, d'amour
For The Millionth And The Last Time Composer(s): Roy C. Bennett; Sid Tepper Performer(s): Elvis Presley
For the millionth and the last time Darling let me hold you tight One more kiss and then I promise I will say my last goodnight
Though your lips are so inviting And I know I'll wanna stay Give me one more kiss to dream on And I'll be on my way
It seems a million or so kisses ago We said goodnight at your door I didn't get far 'cause here we are And I'm still begging for more
Whilst the millionth and the last time Slowly disappears from sight For the millionth and the last time Let me kiss you good-night
It seems a million or so kisses ago We said goodnight at your door I didn't get far 'cause here we are And I'm still begging for more
Whilst the millionth and the last time Slowly disappears from sight For the millionth and the last time Let me kiss you good-night Let me kiss you good-night Let me kiss you good-night
I've the face of a stranger, with a smile of a rover I'll take a glass at down Kinvarra, and a jug at Oughterard Down the great donkey road to the hills of Connemara To my dark spanish handsome love way down in Galway town
Where Jimmy he's my love, he's my joy he's my darling Jimmy leaves me wonder to the ends of the world Jimmy brings me love, gives me hope and sets me dreaming When the leaves are turning, in his arms I'll settle down In Galway town
The spring brings the swallow, a fresh land of the rover Where the blushing summer roses shed their petals to the glen And the long breathless evenings, where the loneliness is heaven Makes the dreaming come so easy on the road to Galway town
Where Jimmy he's my love, he's my joy he's my darling Jimmy leaves me wonder to the ends of the world Jimmy brings me love, gives me hope and sets me dreaming When the leaves are turning, in his arms I'll settle down In Galway town
The curlew are calling, a shy form is prancing The ferns on them bulbing by the thousand gentle eyes All the creatures of Eireann, sing their own sweet songs of pleasure As the rover goes a-whistling down the road to Galway town
Where Jimmy he's my love, he's my joy he's my darling Jimmy leaves me wonder to the ends of the world Jimmy brings me love, gives me hope and sets me dreaming When the leaves are turning, in his arms I'll settle down In Galway town
Where Jimmy he's my love, he's my joy he's my darling Jimmy leaves me wonder to the ends of the world Jimmy brings me love, gives me hope and sets me dreaming When the leaves are turning, in his arms I'll settle down In Galway town

and multiple other artists
Dépêche toi, dépêche toi...
Ce serait dommage oui bien dommage De rester enfermé quand le printemps montre son nez Ce serait dommage d'être aussi sage Quand le vent parfumé chante partout la joie d'aimer
Voilà longtemps qu'un grand poète a dit Cueille à présent les roses de la vie Si tu attends tant pis pour toi, un jour tu le regretteras
Ce serait dommage oui bien dommage De laisser tout passer sans essayer d'en profiter Et si ton cur soudain s'emplit de joie Où que te pleurs troublent tes yeux, parfois Surtout, surtout ne t'en plains pas C'est l'amour qui s'éveille en toi
Ce serait dommage oui bien dommage De ne pas profiter du peu de temps qui t'est donné Sort de ta cage... Et vient aimer

Galveston Rose Composer(s): Hank Snow Performer(s): Hank Snow
Down in old southern Texas I wandered one day Where the tropical sea breezes blow I there fell in love with a flower so rare And they called her the Galveston rose
Her heart was as true as her blue smiling eyes And as fair as the lily that grows And the finest of gold in no way could compare With the curls of my Galveston rose
I grew jealous and falsely accused her one day Said her love I no longer should know I've been true please believe me her little heart cried But I left her my Galveston rose
Little then did I think that sometimes I'd repay And would reap every sorrow and care But as years passed along I grew lonely each day For the one I had left waiting there
So I wrote to my darling and said I was wrong, I'll return dear if you'll only wed But soon came a letter my flower had died And these are the words that I read
Your sweetheart is peacefully sleeping tonight In a grave where the white violets grow And enclosed, there's a curl a last token of love And a note from your Galveston Rose
I was innocent dear though you left me alone But remember I loved only you And the lock that's enclosed is a curl from your rose Who'll be waiting in Heaven for you
Ce Sera Toi Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Plonger dans un regard D'azur ou d'eau claire M'envoler au bout d'un rêve Laisser tous mes brouillards Enfin loin derrière Dans une histoire qui s'achève Léger, léger, débarrassé D'un vieil amour trop lourd à porter Tout seul, tout seul
Amour fané, amour cassé Amour fou qui nous a laissé Tout seul, tout seul
Mais un air qui revient... Et ce sera toi Une silhouette au loin... Et ce sera toi Un mot qui t'appartient Et mille petits riens Et ce sera toi...
A mon coeur défendant J'ai gardé ton absence Fleur séchée dans les pages d'un livre Tant de gestes de toi Gravés dans le silence Te dessinent et te font revivre
Je pense à toi, je pense à toi Tu ne me manques pas, Je suis bien comme ça Tout seul, tout seul
Et tu es là, sans être là Comme autrefois Je suis avec toi Mais tout seul, tout seul
Mais un air qui revient... Et ce sera toi Une silhouette au loin Et ce sera toi
Un mot qui t'appartient Et mille petits riens Et ce sera toi...
Une table, un café Et ce sera toi Un parfum retrouvé Et ce sera toi Une femme sur un quai Qu'un instant je suivrai Et tu disparaîtras Comme à chaque fois...
