Forever Came Today Composer(s): Brian Holland; Lamont Dozier; Edward Holland Jr. Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes; and various other artists
There you were Standing there As your eyes reached out to me Something warm in your eyes Touched my heart right then and there All the love I never knew I found in you
Suddenly My world stood still My life was then fulfilled As you gently touched my hand I knew that we had laid a plan For everlasting love That I been forever dreaming of
At last Ooh, at last My forever came today (My forever came today) When you walked into my life (When you walked into my life) And made my lonely life A paradise (A paradise) It came today Forever came today
As we were standing there You didn't speak a single word But your eyes Your eyes said you wanted me Your touch said you needed me And my heart said tenderly
Darling Ooh, my darling Make me yours Let your kiss touch my face And tell me love has led me To this place to your warm embrace Hello happiness
Thanks to you my search has ended And I want the world to see How gently love has shined on me With everlasting love That I been forever dreaming of
At last Ooh, at last My forever came today (My forever came today) When you walked into my life (When you walked into my life) And made my lonely life A paradise (A paradise) It came today Forever came today
At last Ooh, at last My forever came today (My forever came today) When you walked into my life (When you walked into my life) And made my lonely life A paradise (A paradise) Oh, it came today Forever came today
At last Ooh, at last My forever came today (My forever came today) When you walked into my life..
Glass Bottom Boat Composer(s): Ben Raleigh - Joe Lubin - Mark Barkan Performer(s): Doris Day
All aboard, all aboard On the glass bottom boat It's the greatest show that was ever afloat Take a ride on the tide with the guide and see The way out wonders of the deep blue sea
The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea There's a lot to see, in the deep blue sea The sailfish sail and the blowfish blow Cockles & mussels alive-alive-o
The hermit crab, he lives alone You can't even get him on the telephone The halibut's eyes turn up and in He don't know where he's going, but he knows where he's been
The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea There's a lot to see in the deep blue sea The glass bottom boat, you will agree Can show you the magic of the deep blue sea
Spiney crabs and white fish too Will all be there, what a hullabaloo With so many fish upon the sea There's hardly room for a fat sardine
The deep blue sea, the deap blue sea There's a lot goin' on in the deep blue sea Oh life on the glass bottom boat is great (I'm the captain) You could use a mate
(Now the girl is slow, but not so dumb He has his own condominium) A bluebird oyster was caught with "foyle" He "swoyre" he didn't even know the "goyle"
The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea There's a lot to see in the deep blue sea The glass bottom boat, you will agree Can show you the magic of the deep blue sea
The flyin' fish was an awful ham Made a three-point landing in a fryin' pan The porpoise has the most hutzpah But the whales are ones with the built-in showers Starfish, starfish, two-pence all Abelone in the casserole Winding, binding, joining up Is growing, growing, growing up Ahhh...
All aboard, all aboard On the glass bottom boat It's the greatest show that was ever afloat Take a ride on the tide with the guide and see The way out wonders of the deep blue sea
All aboard, all aboard On the glass bottom boat It's the greatest show that was ever afloat Take a ride on the tide with the guide and see The way out wonders of the deep blue sea
Celui Qui A Mal Tourné
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
First release by: Georges Brassens - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists
Il y avait des temps et des temps Qu'je n'm'étais pas servi d'mes dents Qu'je n'mettais pas d'vin dans mon eau Ni de charbon dans mon fourneau Tous les croqu'-morts, silencieux Me dévoraient déjà des yeux Ma dernière heure allait sonner C'est alors que j'ai mal tourné
N'y allant pas par quatre chemins J'estourbis en un tournemain En un coup de bûche excessif Un noctambule en or massif Les chats fourrés, quand ils l'ont su M'ont posé la patte dessus Pour m'envoyer à la Santé Me refaire une honnêteté
Machin, Chose, Un tel, Une telle Tous ceux du commun des mortels Furent d'avis que j'aurais dû En bonn' justice être pendu A la lanterne et sur-le-champ Y s'voyaient déjà partageant Ma corde, en tout bien tout honneur En guise de porte-bonheur
Au bout d'un siècle, on m'a jeté A la porte de la Santé Comme je suis sentimental Je retourne au quartier natal Baissant le nez, rasant les murs Mal à l'aise sur mes fémurs M'attendant à voir les humains Se détourner de mon chemin
Y'en a un qui m'a dit: "Salut! Te revoir, on n'y comptait plus" Y'en a un qui m'a demandé Des nouvelles de ma santé Lors, j'ai vu qu'il restait encor Du monde et du beau mond' sur terre Et j'ai pleuré, le cul par terre Toutes les larmes de mon corps
Forever By Your Side Composer(s): M. Blatte; L. Gottlieb Performer(s): The Manhattans; Richie Stephens
Friends, we started out as friends Friends turned into lovers Do you remember when
I held you For the very first time Love me it is so easy girl For me to speak my mind I've said
I want you I need you Oh girl how I believe in you You're the light that has always seen me through
In you I could find That I will be Forever by your side
Now we see our love has grown And these have been the sweetest times That I have ever known And I know that it will never end
'Cause every time I look at you I fall in love again
I want you (want you) I need you (need you)
Oh girl how I believe in you (you're the light) You're the light (that shines) That has always seen me through In you I could find That I will be Forever by your side
Longer than the sun will shine Love is a tie that binds, forever, forever Two hearts are meant to be one love eternally
Together (together), forever, forever I want you I need you Oh girl how I believe in you You're the light that has always seen me through
In you I could find That I will be Forever by your side
The Glamorous Life Composer(s): Jamie Starr Performer(s): Sheila E. and multiple other artists
She wears a long fur coat of mink Even in the summer time Everybody knows from the coy little wink The girl's got a lot on her mind
She's got big thoughts, big dreams And a big brown Mercedes sedan What I think this girl She really wants is to be in love with a man
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life She don't need a man's touch She wants to lead the Glamorous Life But without love it ain't much
She saw him standing in the section marked If you have to ask you can't afford it lingerie She threw him bread and said make me scream In the dark what could he say
Boys with small talk and small minds Really don't impress me in bed She said I need a man's man baby Diamonds and furs Love would only conquer my head
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life She don't need a man's touch She wants to lead the Glamorous Life But without love it ain't much
They made haste in the brown sedan They drove to 55 Secret street They made love and by the seventh wave She knew she had a problem She thought real love is real scary Money only pays the rent Love is forever that's all your life Love is heaven sent it's glamorous
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life She don't need a man's touch She wants to lead the Glamorous Life But without love it ain't much

Celui Que J'aime
((Adapted from: Tora Pou Pas Stin Xenitia (Nana Mouskouri))
Composer(s): Manos Hadjidakis - Nikos Gatsos - Frank Gérald
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
À celui que j'aime Et je l'aimerai toute ma vie
On ne garde pas l'amour Comme on garde le chant de la mer Dans le creux d'un coquillage Et l'on pleure son amour Comme on pleure au levant de l'hiver Quand la barque fait naufrage
Mais il m'a gardée auprès de lui Celui que j'aime Car il m'a donné plus que la mer Celui que j'aime Car il m'a donné plus que le ciel Celui que j'aime Et je l'aimerai toute ma vie
Oui il m'a gardé auprès de lui Celui que j'aime Car il m'a donné plus que la mer Celui que j'aime Car il m'a donné plus que le ciel Celui que j'aime Et je l'aimerai toute ma vie
Forever And Ever Composer(s): Coulter; Martin Performer(s): Slik
As it was in the beginning then so should it end Don't let a lover become just a friend oh no I made you a promise I vowed I would keep The candle 's still burning the river runs deep my love Didn't you know didn't you feel Couldn't you tell that it was real Couldn't you tell that it was real I'll dedicate to you all my love my whole life through I'll love you forever and ever ev'ry day ev'ry hour we share I'll treasure you I swear I'll love you forever and ever. What we joined together let none tear apart We give one another our hand and our heart my love Ashes to ashes dust to dust Will love last forever I know that it must my love Now you can see now you can feel Now you can tell that it was real Now you can tell that it was real I'll dedicate to you all my love my whole life through
The Girls From Texas Composer(s): James Lewis - Jimmy Holiday - Cliff Chambers First release by: Ry Cooder - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, I met a girl from Texas 'bout a year ago Hadn't known her for too long when I had to let her go You see, she had a razor, was ten inches or so And every night you'd hear her knocking at my door She said, "Baby, I'll give you the clothes on my back You can have everything that I've got in my shack But if you ever try to leave they'll take you out in sack 'Cause me and my razor will see to that"
That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas
I thought about my situation, decided not to tarry For my own self preservation I decided we should marry When the preacher started reading 'bout 'till death do us part I told him, "Skip it, we had that understanding right from the start"
That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas (Houston to San Antone) That's the way the girls are from Texas (Got to love 'em right or leave 'em alone)
Well, we settled down, got me a little old job, '65 Fairlane Ford Every Friday night I would stop in and cash my pay check down at the grocery store They had a little girl worked in there, must have been about seventeen She was the cutest thing I had ever seen It's the same old story and I'm afraid it wasn't too very long Before we had fallen deeply in love and I knew it was wrong I said baby, we got to stop this thing right here Or my woman is gonna cut my throat from ear to ear, that's right In tearful supplication, she looked up in my face I could feel her heart was breaking as these sad words she did say "You should have told me you was married, baby She pulled out a forty-five and let me have it, right smack between the eyes
That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas
She was guilty, I was dead Now, what'd you think that the old judge said? "Ah, that's just the way the girls are down here in Texas Case dismissed!"
That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas (Houston to San Antone) That's the way the girls are from Texas (Got to love 'em right or leave 'em alone, boy)
Celui que j'aime est un vaurien Qui chante du soir au matin Un artiste Égoïste Qui tient ma vie dans ses mains Celui que j'aime est un garçon Qui a de drôles de façons Un bohème Sans problème Qui jongle avec mes illusions Il va sans but Court les rues Tout le jour Moi le cur lourd Je l'attends En pleurant Mon amour Celui que j'aime est un menteur Il ment des lèvres, il ment du cur Il me blesse Puis me laisse Face à face avec mon cur
Quand je suis seule avec mes craintes Dans ma chambre sous les toits L'ennui s'accroche aux murs qui suintent Jusqu'à son retour dans ses bras
Celui que j'aime est un brigand Il me traite comme une enfant Il me charme Me désarme Et se rit de mes tourments Celui que j'aime est merveilleux Quand l'amour brille dans ses yeux Qu'il m'attire Dans un rire Contre son cur pour m'aimer mieux Moi je faiblis Je rougis Tout à coup Et j'oublie tous Mes malheurs Sur son cur Dans son cou Celui que j'aime est un joueur Il joue mes rêves, il joue mes pleurs Et s'il triche Je m'en fiche Car il est tout mon bonheur
Celui que j'aime est un voyou Qui ne possède pas un sou Mais il m'aime Et je l'aime Et du reste je m'en fous
The Girl's Alright With Me Composer(s): Eddie Holland - Eddie Kendricks - Norman Whitfield Performer(s): The Temptations; Derrick Harriott; The Spinners
This little girl of mine I wanna say she's so fine And each and every day I make sure she has her way
Now, we don't feel tied down Although our hearts are bound I don't have to chase her all over town My baby she's always around
The girl's alright with me You know the girl's alright Listen, the girl's alright with me You know the girl's alright
Now she's so good to me I guess that's why I feel fancy free Just to see the glow in her eyes Makes me once again realize
I love her with all my heart And I know we'll never, never part I never heard her about or caught her playing I guess that's why you always hear me saying...
The girl's alright with me You know the girl's alright, hmm... The girl's alright with me You know the girl's alright
When I visit at her home Other fellas never, never ring her phone She lets them know just where they stand She tells them all that I'm her man
And when we're out on a date Other fellas wait till I walk away They try to beat my time She tells them in a nice way, she's mine, all mine
The girl's alright with me You know the girl's alright And I trust her with my heart now (The Girl's alright with me) Everyday now (You know the girl's alright) You know, you know that the (girl's alright with me) In everyway now (You know the girl's alright)
The Girlfriend Of The Whirling Dervish Composer(s): Harry Warren - Al Dubin - Johnny Mercer Performer(s): John Payne, Jerry Colonna, Johnnie Davis, Ray Mayer & Joe Venuti and multiple other artists
One fine day, I chanced to stray On a little side street in old Bombay And met a sentimental oriental She saw me and I saw she Had a manner too bold and much too free Her eyes were positively detrimental When I asked about this gay coquette I discovered much to my regret...
She's the girl friend of the whirling dervish She's the sweetest one he's found But ev'ry night, in the mellow moonlight When he's out dervishing with all his might She gives him the run-around
All the boy friends of the whirling dervish Are his best friends to his face But there's no doubt, when he isn't about They all come hurrying to take her out She leads him a dizzy pace
He dreams of a Hindu honeymoon He doesn't dream that ev'ry night when he goes out To make an honest rupee She steps out to make a lotta whoopee
Oh, the love song of the whirling dervish Has a sweet and tender sound But will he burn if he ever should learn That while he's doing her a real good turn She gives him the runaround
She's got a nervish, throwin' him a curvish Which, of course, he doesn't deservish Poor old whirling dervish!
Yo se que tienes celos de mi guitarra yo se que lloran tus ojos, cuando me ves abrazarla si yo se que tienes niña herida el alma
Yo se que por las noches, cuando te marchas cruzas llorando mi patio, como una luz que se apaga si yo se que tienes niña herida el alma
Yo se muy bien que te has sentido feliz sentada junto a mi hoguera, dejando tu primavera pasar y se también lo mucho que me has querido y alguna vez he sentido dolor
Yo se que tienes celos de mi guitarra yo se que tiemblan tus manos, cuando me ves abrazarla si yo se que tienes niña herida el alma
No puede ser, mi adolescencia pasó dormida está como un niño entre unos libros que nunca aprendí recuérdame, y vive tus quince años yo, yo te prometo soñarlos....adiós eyyy, eyyy, eyyy
