Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk Performer(s): Don Cherry and multiple other artists
Kiss me each morning for a million years Hold me each evening by your side Tell me you love me for a million years Then if it don't work out Then if it don't work out Then you can tell me goodbye
Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss Soften my dreams with your sigh After you've loved me for a million years Then if it don't work out Then if it don't work out Then you can tell me goodbye
If you must go I won't grieve If you just wait a life-time before you leave If you must go I won't say "no" Just so we can say that we tried
Tell me you love me for a million years Then if it don't work out Then if it don't work out Then you can tell me goodbye
Rosie Composer(s): Jackson Brown; Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Elle était déjà là bien avant Que les camions ne viennent Elle tournait comme une enfant Une poupée derrière la scène C'était facile de lui parler On a échangé quelques mots Je lui ai donné mon passe Pour qu'elle puisse entrer voir le show
Elle s'est assise à côté de moi Sur des caisses de bière Pendant que je mixais le son pour le groupe Sur la scène en arrière Elle les fixait à s'en brûler la peau Moi, je la trouvais tellement belle Après le dernier morceau Le batteur est parti avec elle
Oh Rosie, tout est blanc Tes yeux m'éclairent De t'avoir eu un instant J'étais tellement fier Tout ce qu'il me reste à présent L'envie de tout foutre en l'air Et de recommencer la nuit... ...Rosie
Je suppose j'aurais dû deviner Qu'elle venait pour les stars Et m'empêcher de l'imaginer Dans mes bras plus tard Depuis tout le temps que j'en tremble Ce soir quand même j'ai compris Faut pas dire à qui je ressemble Faut dire qui je suis
Oh Rosie, tout est blanc Tes yeux m'éclairent De t'avoir eu un instant J'étais tellement fier Tout ce qu'il me reste à présent L'envie de tout foutre en l'air Et de recommencer la nuit... Recommencer la nuit... Recommencer la nuit... Rosie...Rosie...Rosie...Rosie...Rosie...
Then What Composer(s): Randy Sharp - Jon Vezner Performer(s): Clay Walker; Sybersound
Well I got a good friend who's got a good life He's got two pretty children and a real nice wife But he never seems quite satisfied I said I know what's on your mind But you better think about it before you cross that line The grass ain't always greener on the other side
Then what, what you gonna do When the new wears off and the old shines through And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust You ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust Then what, where you gonna turn When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt Then what
Well I ain't saying that looking's a crime Well I've done my share from time to time It don't mean that you gotta take that leap When you're standin' on the brink Before you jump you gotta step back and think There's a price for ever promise you don't keep
Then what, what you gonna do When the new wears off and the old shines through And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust You ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust Then what, where you gonna turn When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt Then what
Do what you want, do what you wish It's your life but remember this There's bound to be some consequences Sneaking under other fences
Then what, what you gonna do When the new wears off and the old shines through And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust You ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust Then what, where you gonna turn When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt Then what
Every summer we go down to Deauville by the sea Where one can rub his shoulders with a king St. Moritz in wintertime, ah thats the place to be And then to Paris in the spring Where one can have his little fling
Though Normandy is lovely in November Somehow it leaves you nothing to remember
I cant forget the night I met you down at Coney Island Gee, I was proud you picked me from the crowd at Coney Island And very soon I proved to you that my intentions werent phoney It ended in ma tri...mo...ny And now were eating caviar instead of macaroni But I recall those picnic lunches a baloney with a smile I guess Im still a hick Cause I still get a kick Just loving you while scrumming through the crowd At Coney Isle
Rosie Composer(s): Don Partridge Performer(s): Don Partridge
Rosie, oh Rosie I'd like to paint your face up in the sky Sometimes when I'm busy Relaxing I'd look up and catch your eye
Your eyes when they're widening Bring thunder and lightning And sunset strokes the colour of your skin Your eyes are so blue I just think of a blue sky And bumble bees buzzing on the wing
Rosie, oh Rosie It's raining when you look the other way Rosie, oh Rosie Your laughter brings the sunshine out to play
And though I just met you When I silhouetted you A highlight golden shadow in your hair I'd paint in your mind's eye A vary of blue skies Summer birds swinging through the air
Rosie, oh Rosie I'd paint your face for all the world to see Rosie, oh Rosie I'd like to paint your face eternally
Then I'll Stop Loving You Composer(s): Joe Goodwin - Joe McCarthy - Al. Piantadosi
You seem afraid of my love, dear, afraid of the things that I do true love has never run smooth, dear, that's why you think I'm not true It's foolish to tell you my lovetale, I can't think of anything new still I'll admit you are right, dear, maybe I'll stop loving you
Sweethearts must have bits of sorrow, that helps to sweeten the joy sad today, glad on the morrow, life of a girl and boy One smile can chase any frown, dear One kiss can gladden the heart, though I may stop loving you dear, that very day I will start
When the golden sun stops shining, when the flowers cease to grow when a broken heart stops pining, when the waters cease to flow when a lad without a lassie, never feels a trifle blue when a child won't miss it's mother's kiss, then I'll stop loving you
Condition Of The Heart Composer(s): Prince Performer(s): Prince
There was a girl in Paris Whom he sent a letter 2 Hoping she would answer back Now wasn't that a foolhardy notion On the part of a sometimes Lonely musician Acting out a whim is only good 4 a condition of the heart
There was a dame from London Who insisted that he love her Then left him 4 a real prince From Arabia, now isn't that A shame that sometimes money Buys U everything and nothing Love, it only seems 2 buy a Terminal condition of the heart
Thinking about U driving me crazy My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh Every day is a yellow day I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard
There was a woman from the ghetto Who made funny faces just like Clara Bow, how was I 2 know That she would wear the same Cologne as U and giggle the same Giggle that U do? Whenever I would act a fool, the fool With a condition of the heart
Thinking about U driving me crazy My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh Every single day is a yellow day I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard
There was a girl (There was a girl in Paris) whom he sent a letter to... (Whom he sent a letter 2) (Hoping she would answer back) She never answered back and now (wasn't that a foolhardy) He's got a condition of the heart (notion ...)
Then I'll Be Tired Of You Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz - E.Y. Harburg First release by: Freddy Martin and His Orch. - 1934 Covered by multiple other artists
You look at me and wonder, you look at me and doubt Darling your eyes are asking, "Will the flame burn out?" Well, no one is sure of sunshine, no one is sure of dawn But I am sure my love will live on and on
I'll be tired of you when stars are tired of gleaming When I am tired of dreaming, then I'll be tired of you
This I know is true: when winds are tired of blowing When grass is tired of growing, then I'll be tired of you
Beyond the years, 'til day is night, 'til wrong is right 'Til birds refuse to sing Beyond the years, the echo of my only love Will still be whispering, whispering
And if my throbbing heart should ever start repeating That it is tired of beating, then I'll be tired of you
Concurrence Déloyale Composer(s): Georges Brassens Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Il y a péril en la demeure Depuis que les femmes de bonnes murs Ces trouble-fête Jalouses de Manon Lescaut Viennent débiter leurs gigots À la sauvette
Ell's ôt'nt le bonhomm' de dessus La brave horizontal' déçue Ell's prenn'nt sa place De la bouche au pauvre tapin Ell's retir'nt le morceau de pain C'est dégueulasse
En vérité, je vous le dis Il y en a plus qu'en Normandie Il y a de pommes Sainte-Mad'lein', protégez-nous Le métier de femme ne nourrit plus son homme
Y a ces gamines de malheur Ces goss's qui, tout en suçant leur Pouc' de fillette Se livrent au détournement De majeur et, vénalement Trouss'nt leur layette
Y a ces rombièr's de qualité Ces punais's de salon de thé Qui se prosternent Qui, pour redorer leur blason Viennent accrocher leur vison À la lanterne
Y a ces p'tit's bourgeoises faux culs Qui, d'accord avec leur cocu Clerc de notaire Au prix de gros vendent leur corps Leurs charmes qui fleurent encor La pomm' de terre
Lors, délaissant la fill' de joie Le client peut faire son choix Tout à sa guise Et se payer beaucoup moins cher Des collégienn's, des ménagèr's Et des marquises
Ajoutez à ça qu'aujourd'hui La manie de l'acte gratuit Se développe Que des créatur's se font culbuter à l'il et sans calcul Ah! les salopes!
Ell's ôt'nt le bonhomm' de dessus La brave horizontal' déçue Ell' prenn'nt sa place De la bouche au pauvre tapin Ell's retir'nt le morceau de pain C'est dégueulasse

Dans ce train qui m'emmène loin Je me demande pourquoi Dans le bruit des roues J'entends comme un écho de sa voix Je sais qu'elle me mentait Quand elle me disait qu'elle m'aimait Et maintenant je l'ai quittée Je m'en vais J'avais quand je l'ai connue Tant d'espoir dans le cur Mais j'ai bien compris qu'avec elle Je n'aurais pas de bonheur Quand l'autre soir je l'ai trouvée Dans d'autres bras très fort serrée Je n'ai pas pu le supporter, Je m'en vais Dans la vie quand on s'aperçoit Qu'une fille ne vous aime plus Il faut aller chercher ailleurs L'amour qu'on a perdu Et moi je sais que je vais découvrir Un autre amour bien plus fort Et si ce n'est pas pour demain Eh bien! je chercherai encore Tant pis si tout est gâché Une de perdue dix de retrouvées Moi, je reprends ma liberté Je m'en vais Dans ce train qui s'en va là-bas Mes souvenirs s'éloignent de moi Je m'aperçois que je l'oublie déjà
Concrete And Clay Composer(s): Brian Parker; Tommy Moeller Performer(s): Unit Four Plus Two
You to me Are sweet as roses in the morning And you to me Are soft as summer rain at dawn, in love we share That something rare
The sidewalks in the street The concrete and the clay beneath my feet Begins to crumble But love will never die Because we'll see the mountains tumble Before we say goodbye
My love and I will be In love eternally That's the way Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be
All around I see the purple shades of evening And on the ground The shadows fall and once again you're in my arms So tenderly
The sidewalks in the street The concrete and the clay beneath my feet Begins to crumble But love will never die Because we'll see the mountains tumble Before we say goodbye
My love and I will be In love eternally That's the way Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be
The sidewalks in the street The concrete and the clay beneath my feet Begins to crumble But love will never die Because we'll see the mountains tumble Before we say goodbye
My love and I will be In love eternally That's the way Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be
And that's the way That's the way it's meant to be
That's the way (that's the way it's meant to be) Wo-oh, that's the way That's the way it's meant to be
Roses On The 4th Of July Composer(s): Nanci Griffith Performer(s): Nanci Griffith
He still sends her roses on the 4th of July They're always white roses and she never asks why She still doesn't know where he goes Thursday nights But his wedding band rests on their bedside that night
He was a soldier in the Vietnam war He lost half his right leg whilst daydreaming of her She lit a candle each holy hour he was gone "You Were On My Mind" was their favorite song
Love is a mystery from birth 'till we die It's cross words of a morning, by evening entwined It's all that we dream of, sometimes it's not right Love is white roses, and you never ask why
He's the hands of a draftsman, he's built a good life She works for a season during IRS time Two children they've had, though their boy has now died When they wake of each morning, he's still on their minds
Their friends would all tell you they're like day and night Their daughter's an actress, she is strong and she's bright He meets with his pals from the war Thursday nights She still treasures those roses every 4th of July
