    They Say It’s Wonderful Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists



    They say that falling love is wonderful It’s wonderful, so they say And with the moon up above, it’s wonderful It’s wonderful, so they tell me I can’t recall who said it I know I’ve never read it I only know they tell me that love is grand, and The thing that’s known as romance Is wonderful, wonderful In every way, so they say To leave your house some morning And without any warning, you’re stopping people Shouting that love is grand, and To hold a man in your arms is wonderful, wonderful In every way, so they say

    Count Your Blessings And Smile
    Composer(s): George Formby; Harry Gifford; Fred E. Cliffe
    Performer(s): George Formby



    Though plans may often go wrong, let `em hear your voice
    You'll find that rhythm and song make the world rejoice
    Make life go with a swing, laugh at trouble and sing
    Tra-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, count your blessings and smile

    While you're playing your part, keep a song in your heart
    Tra-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, count your blessings and smile

    Sing low, sing high, isn't it grand, beating the band
    Who wants to die, oh what a happy land, hi!
    Show them what you can do, make a hullabaloo
    Tra-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, count your blessings and smile

    You got to get together, swing it around
    Now get together, swing it around
    Make life go with a swing and a smile
    Laugh at trouble and sing all the while
    Now count your blessings and smile

    While you're playing your own little part
    You've gotta keep a song in your heart
    Black puddings and tripe and trotters
    Count your blessings and smile

    Sing low, sing high, isn't it grand, beating the band
    Who-who-who who wants to die, oh what a happy, happy land
    Show them what you can do, make a hullabaloo
    Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, ha-ha–ha–ha
    Count your blessings, one–two–three
    Count your blessings, four–five–six
    Count your blessings and smile

    Show then what you can do, make a hullabaloo
    Haw-haw-haw-haw, ha-ha-ha-ha
    Count your blessings and smile

    J'Ai Des Goûts Simples
    Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis
    Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



    J'ai des goûts simples
    J'aime que le meilleur
    Mais moi, j'ai pas l'profil du vainqueur
    Mêm'dopé, j'suis pas près d'arriver
    T'es au dessert, j'commence mon entrée
    Comme un caddy d'grand' surface
    Quand j'sers plus, tu m'laisses sur place
    J'suis comm' un objet trouvé
    Que t'oublies de réclamer
    J'ai des goûts simples
    J'aime que le meilleur
    Faut toujours être au d'là d'la hauteur
    J'aime l'argent, son parfum, son odeur
    Même si j'en vois rarement la couleur
    Comm' un produit de grand' surface
    Périmé, je perds ma place
    J'suis offert, parachuté
    Aux pays sous développés

    {Refrain:}
    Faut m'donner.....
    D'quoi rêver.........
    J'suis pas un légume surgelé et assisté
    Oui
    Faut m' donner....
    De quoi rêver......
    J'ai l' droit à ma part de bonheur
    J'ai des goûts simples
    J'aime que le meilleur

    M'essayer
    Veut pas dire, m' adopter
    J'ai des goûts simples, mais faut qu' y ait du charme
    Tête de gondole, mais pas dans l' bas d' gamme
    J'suis prêt à tout, même à défiler
    Grand couturier, pas l' "prêt à porter"
    L' marché est surestimé
    Les Favoris surcôtés
    Faut investir dans l' looser
    Ça peut prendre de la valeur

    {au Refrain}

    They Say It's Spring
    Composer(s): Bob Haymes - Marty Clark
    Performer(s): Blossom Dearie
    and multiple other artists



    When I was young I lived in a world of dreams
    Of moods and myths and illusionary schemes
    Though now I'm much more grown up
    I fear that I must own up
    To the fact that I'm in doubt of
    What the modern cynics shout of

    They say it's spring
    This feeling light as a feather
    They say this thing
    This magic we share together
    Came with the weather too

    They say it's May
    That's made me daft as a daisy
    It's May, they say
    That gave the whole world this crazy
    Heavenly, hazy hue

    I'm a lark
    On the wing
    I'm the spark of a firefly's fling

    Yet to me
    This must be
    Something more than a seasonal thing

    They say it's spring
    Those bells that I can hear ringing
    It may be spring
    But when the robins stop singing
    You're what I'm clinging to
    Though they say it's spring
    It's you

    If poets sing
    That when a heart sympathetic
    It's merely spring
    Then poets plights are pathetic
    Though I'm poetic too

    They say it's spring
    For lovers, there's where the lure is
    That evil thing
    For which September the cure is
    This, they are sure is true

    Though I know
    That it's so
    That my fancy may turn in the spring

    With the right
    One in sight
    One can find a perpetual thing

    Did I need spring
    To bring the ring that you bought me
    Though it was spring
    That wondrous day that you caught me

    Darling I thought we knew
    That it wasn't spring
    'Twas you

    Count Your Blessings (Instead Of Sheep)
    Danish Title: Tæl Hver En Glæde - 1955
    Composer(s): Irving Berlin
    First performance: Bing Crosby - 1954
    Covered by multiple other artists



    When I'm worried and I can't sleep
    I count my blessings instead of sheep
    And I fall asleep counting my blessings
    When my bankroll is getting small
    I think of when I had none at all
    And I fall asleep counting my blessings

    I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
    And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
    If you're worried and you can't sleep
    Just count your blessings instead of sheep
    And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings

    I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
    And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
    If you're worried and you can't sleep
    Just count your blessings instead of sheep
    And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings

    J'Ai Décidé De Vivre
    Composer(s): Michel Laurent
    Performer(s): Dalida



    Après un long silence
    Entre le vide et moi
    Après m'être noyée
    Dans une vie sans but
    Vivre dans mes rêves
    Ne me suffisait pas
    Et j'ai prié le ciel
    Et il m'a entendu

    J'ai décidé de vivre et je remercie Dieu
    J'ai décidé de vivre et je remercie Dieu

    En une seule seconde
    Dans le fond de mon cœur
    Le soleil a jailli
    Eclatant de chaleur
    Et j'ai fermé les yeux
    Sur ton seul regard
    Car c'est dans ton amour
    Que j'ai trouvé l'espoir

    J'ai décidé de vivre et je remercie Dieu
    J'ai décidé de vivre et je remercie Dieu

    En gravant dans ma mémoire
    Mes souvenirs du passé
    Je veux décider de croire
    Que tout peut recommencer

    J'ai décidé de vivre et je remercie Dieu
    J'ai décidé de vivre et je remercie Dieu

    Composer(s): Edward Heyman - Paul Mann - Stephen Weiss
    Performer(s): Sammy Kaye & His Orch.
    and multiple other artists



    They say you have no lips for a fool such as I
    They say you just believe in hello and goodbye
    And they say that the one I admire
    Isn't even remotely concerned
    And that I'll go on playing with fire
    Until I have learned my heart has been burned

    They say I shouldn't dream of your face in the moon
    They say all of my dreams will be nightmares too soon
    Let them talk, let them think what they want to
    If it makes them feel happy that way
    I know I'll always love you
    No matter what they say

    Count Your Blessings
    Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford; Valerie Simpson
    Performer(s): Ashford & Simpson



    I had to learn, learn a lesson
    Never forget to count your blessings
    I had to learn, learn a lesson
    Never forget to count your blessings

    You can’t say I love you
    Too many times, oh...
    Simple things mean so much
    Like when was the last touch, when was the last kiss
    When did you hold ‘em like this

    I almost lost the one I love
    Searchin’ ‘round for something new
    Before you make the same mistake
    Oh, let me pass this on to you

    I had to learn, learn a lesson
    Never forget to count my blessings
    I had to learn, learn a lesson
    Never forget to count your blessings

    Though they don’t complain
    Doesn’t mean that there’s no pain
    To forget is the worst
    So always put them first, thinkin’ of their needs
    Make them the one you please

    I almost lost the one I love
    Searching ‘round for something new
    Before you make the same mistake
    Let me pass this on to you

    If you don’t see eye to eye
    Come close to sayin’ goodbye
    Think how far you’ve come
    The victories you’ve won

    What’s kept you through the years
    Was to dry each other’s tears
    Memories you recall
    Let’s you know you have it all {Woo}

    I almost lost the one I love
    Searchin’ ‘round for something new
    Before you make the same mistake
    Ooh, let me pass this on to you

    I had to learn, learn a lesson
    Never forget to count your blessings
    I had to learn, learn a lesson
    Never forget, ooh...

    I had to learn, learn a lesson {Yes, I did}
    Never forget to count your blessings {Woo}
    I had to learn, learn a lesson
    Never forget to count your blessings

    I had to learn, learn a lesson
    Never forget to count your blessings
    I had to learn, learn a lesson
    Never forget to count your blessings

    I had to learn, learn a lesson
    Never forget to count your blessings
    I had to learn, learn a lesson
    Never forget to count your blessings

    I had to learn, learn a lesson
    Never forget to count your blessings

    Composer(s): Max François; Jimmy Davis
    Performer(s): Yves Montand



    J’ai de la veine
    Bien malgré moi
    C’est une aubaine
    Touchons du bois!
    Ceux que ça gêne
    N’ont qu’à penser
    Tout bas
    Bah! Ça ne dure pas
    Ça!
    Pourtant la chance
    Qui m’a souri
    Je l’sais d ’avance
    Est infinie…
    Quelle insolence!
    Mais quel bonheur aussi!
    Oui, je suis un verni

    Dans la vie
    Je vais
    Toujours content
    Quell’ que soit la route vers le printemps
    Je vais
    Loin des soucis…
    Car ils s’enfuient quand je ris

    J’ai de la veine
    Depuis toujours
    J’ai de la veine
    Même en amour
    Puisque je l’aime
    Et puisqu’elle m’aime aussi!
    Oui, je suis un verni
    Dans la vie !…

    They Held Me Down
    Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
    Performer(s): Shel Silverstein



    "This next song is dedicated to all the cop-outs in the world
    My friends mostly... including me"

    It was Sat night at the slammer
    The gavel was falling like a hammer
    As they dragged in every freak
    From off the road
    One by one they entered the cell
    And the stories that they had to tell
    Were all different
    But all seemed to end on the very same note

    "They held me down and they put it on my nose
    They even sprinkled a little bit on my clothes
    Yeah… I know what you're thinkin
    But I ain't one of those
    No… they held me down and put it in my nose"

    This wino in the corner got up and shook himself out...
    He said
    "Well they held me down and poured it down my throat
    That's what they did
    They even planted the bottle in my coat
    Anybody want some?
    Yeah… the reason why my pants so wet
    Is they pushed me off the boat
    After they held me down and poured it down my throat"

    And this chick in the next cell…
    She said
    "I heard you guys talking
    And let me tell you something…
    He held me down and he put it you know where
    Ohhhh... I told him I was a virgin
    But he didn't care
    Noooo... the pig!
    Ahhhh... you see his wallet's in my purse
    What's it doing there?
    He held me down and put it you know where"

    And then this cat got up
    Well... he half got up
    He lifted his head and
    He said
    "Hey, man... they held me down and they put it in my vein
    They even held a pistol to my brain
    Or I wouldn'ta done it
    Ohhh... these scars on my arms are where I crashed through the window pane...
    Tryin' to get awaaaaaaaaay
    When they held me down and put it in my vein"

    And then this cat.. a rollie-eyed cat in a raincoat, and shoes
    And the bottom of his pants were cut off at the knees
    He said
    "She held me down and put it in my face
    Oh, the disgrace
    And that's the fact on which I'm gonna base my case
    She was overweight and underage
    And we was at my place
    But she held me down and put it in my face"

    They held me down and made me write this song...

    Count your blessings one by one
    When dawn appears and day has just begun
    They will light your heart with happiness
    Make each hour bright and bring you gladness
    Count your blessings one by one
    When twilight falls and toil of day is done
    And in sweet dreams they'll come again to you
    If you will count your blessings each day through
    Count your blessings while you may
    For we are here but little time to stay
    All around are hearts sincere and true
    Lovely things abound just waiting for you
    Count your blessings while you may
    The big or small, whichever comes your way
    For then you'll find this world a place of love
    If you will count your blessings from above

    L'amour avait dans ses yeux
    Tant d'amour, tant d'amour
    Tant d'amour, d'amour

    Lui et moi contre lui
    Au-dessus la nuit
    Tournent dans le bruit
    Moi, n'osant pas parler
    Le corps bousculé
    J'étais admirée
    Lui, la musique et lui
    Partout l'amour, partout la fièvre
    Et nos corps frissonnants
    Moi, la musique et moi
    Partout ses yeux, partout ses lèvres
    Et puis mon cœur hurlant

    They Grow Up
    Performer(s): Dave Smalley



    I remember that night she was born
    I was a young man myself
    When the doctor said it's a little girl
    I felt my heart melt
    An old man in the waiting room
    He looked up at me and smiled
    He said son remember
    they're only with you for awhile

    They grow up they grow so fast
    By the time you figure it out
    the moment has passed

    I remember that high school prom
    Pretty ribbons of blue
    I said angel don't stay out too late
    She said Daddy I love you
    When a young man came to pick her up
    I saw her face light up and smile
    I remembered that same smile
    when she was just a child

    They grow up they grow so fast
    By the time you figure it out
    the moment has passed

    That little girl she's finished college
    Got a life of her own
    When I think of the life we've shared
    I'm never alone
    And there's something that I need to tell her
    And I know she'll understand
    That I'll always love her
    and I'd do it all again

    They grow up they grow so fast
    By the time you figure it out
    the moment has passed

    They grow up that's the way it should be
    You just open your heart
    and you save those memories
    You just open your heart
    and you save those memories
    You save those memories yeah

    Precious love
    I'll give it to you
    Blue as the sky and deep in the
    Eyes of a love so true
    You make me feel light on the stairs and lost in the
    Air of a love so real

    And you can count on me girl
    You can count on my love
    Woman
    You can count on me baby
    You can count on my love to see
    You through

    Emerald eyes and china perfume
    Caught in the wheel and lost in
    The feel of a love so soon
    Ruby lips
    You make my song
    Into the night and saved by the light
    Of a love so strong

    You can count on me girl
    You can count on my love

    Composer(s): Chris Long; Johnny Hallyday
    Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



    Ils sont plus de cinquante autour de moi
    Je me sens comme perdu dans un désert
    Sur leur échiquier je glisse comme un pion
    Alors que je croyais en être le roi

    Quand j'ai besoin d'un peu d'amitié
    Les visages se tournent et s'effacent
    Lorsque je réclame un peu de gaieté
    Sous leurs sourires je sens de l'intérêt

    Quelques fois j'ai envie
    De crier à la nuit
    Emmène-moi
    Emmène-moi

    Petit fille tu veux vieillir avec moi
    Réfléchi, voudrais-tu être le miroir
    Où l'on pourrait voir nos visages
    Se froisser un peu plus chaque soir

    Lorsque plus tard mon nom sera oublié
    Viendras-tu comme avant pour me parler
    Désolé petite fille, je vivrai seul
    Je préfère vivre vite et mourir jeune

    Quelques fois j'ai envie
    De crier à la nuit
    Emmène moi
    Emmène moi...

    They Go Wild, Simply Wild Over Me
    Composer(s): Fred Fisher - Joseph McCarthy



    They go wild, simply wild over me
    They go mad, just as mad as they can be
    No matter where I'm at
    All the ladies thin or fat
    The tall ones, the small ones
    I grab 'em off like that

    Ev'ry night how they fight over me
    I don't know what it is that they can see
    The ladies look at me and sigh
    In my arms they want to die
    They go wild, simply wild over me
    They go wild, simply wild over me

    Count Me Out
    Composer(s): Jack Pruett
    Performer(s): Marty Robbins



    Takin' me for granted was your first mistake
    And that was the beginnin' of a last heartache
    And then you added insult to my injury
    When you started treatin' me just as you please

    Count me out of future plans you might be makin'
    No more foolish chances am I takin'
    You played love's game too rough
    As for me, I've had enough
    'Cause the goin's got too rough, so count me out

    Things I thought important never bothered you
    You kept on till you killed all my love for you
    Doin' as you pleased became a part of you
    You can't blame me now for walkin' out on you

    Count me out of future plans you might be makin'
    No more foolish chances am I takin'
    You played love's game too rough
    As for me, I've had enough
    'Cause the goin's got too rough, so count me out

    J'Ai Craqué
    Composer(s): Alain Goraguer; Claude Lemesle
    Performer(s): Joe Dassin



    Entre les fauteuils du 15, rue de Bretagne
    Et les rocking-chairs de la maison de campagne
    On balançait
    Notre vie douillette, sans surprise et sans un
    Pain quotidien de nos dix ans de bonheur
    Au bonheur près j'étais bien protégé
    Dans le film à tiroir de ma vie bien rangée
    Avec les samedi soir pour changer
    Pour changer de quoi toi et moi
    Moi et toi, femme et mère à la fois

    J'ai craqué, j'ai craqué

    J'attendais ta fête pour t'apporter des fleurs
    Je ne chantais plus, j'avais des pantoufles au cœur
    Je m'endormais
    Tu savais quand je disais: "Devine où on part?"
    Tu riais avant que j'ai fini mes histoires
    Et même après tu m'avais tellement dit
    Que je n'étais qu'un gosse, un gamin
    Étourdi, que je m'imaginais tout petit
    Et puis d'un seul coup j'ai grandi
    Et j'ai coupé le fil du passé

    J'ai craqué, j'ai craqué

    Je ne sais pas où mais je m'en vais droit devant
    Meme si l'allumette n'a craqué que le temps
    D'une étincelle
    Je m'en contrefous si ça permet de rêver
    De faire un détour loin des chemins programmés
    Toujours pareils et le vent de folie
    Qui fait tourner si fort le moulin de ma vie
    Qu'importe s'il s'arrête aujourd'hui
    Puisque celle qui lui a dit de souffler
    Reste et me donne envie de craquer

    J'ai craqué, j'ai craqué ...

    They Fell
    ((French Version: Ils Sont Tombés (Charles Aznavour))
    Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz - Herbert Kretzmer
    Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



    They fell that year
    They vanished from the Earth
    Never knowing the code
    Or what law they'd offended
    The women fell at work
    And the babies they tended
    Left to die, left to cry
    All condemned by their birth

    They fell like rain
    Across the thirsty land
    In their hearts they were clean
    In their dust still believing
    All the obedient things
    In a season of grieving
    Caught in rain, always rain
    Just for one helping hand

    For no one heard their prayers
    In a world bent on pleasure
    From other people scared
    They simply closed their eyes
    They craved a lot of sound
    In jazz and ragtime measured
    The trumpets screamed till dawn
    To drown the childrens' cries

    They fell like leaves
    Its people in its pride
    People, men, kindly men
    And not one knew his crime
    If he came in an hour
    Like a small desert flower
    Still covered by the silent wind
    In sands of time

    They fell that year
    Before they could grow
    They had little to give
    But their lives and their passion
    And their longing to live
    In their way, in their fashion
    So their harvest could thrive
    And their children could grow

    They fell like flies
    Their eyes still full of sun
    Like a dog each flies
    In the path of a rifle
    That holds on with its might
    And each death, though a trifle
    And to bring to an end
    A life barely begun

    And I am of that Race
    Who died in unknown places
    Who perished in their pride
    Whose blood in rivers ran
    In agony and pride
    With courage on their faces
    They went into the night
    That waits for every man

    They fell like tears
    And never knew what for
    In that summer of pride
    Of massacre and war
    Their only crime was life
    They only give towards being
    The children of Armenia
    Nothing less, nothing more

    Count Me Out
    Composer(s): Gary Brooker; I. Sutherland
    Performer(s): Gary Brooker



    When it's time for me to go
    and I hear that whistle blow
    I'll be waiting in line day or night
    Take my hand and lead me down
    Lay my burden on the ground
    Break these chains and let me stand in the light
    Now I know what the game's all about
    If that's the way you want to play - count me out

    Had enough of alibis, empty promises and lies
    Trying to find a better life on my own
    There's no easy way I know - now the strains begin to show
    Still I'm looking for a light to lead me home
    Though my heart's still full of doubt
    There's no way I'm gonna play - so count me out

    I've been too long here breaking my back
    Doing my best to get through
    I never thought I could feel this way
    But I need to find something new
    It's not the money and it's not the gold
    I just want some peace of mind
    My life is racing like a runaway train
    Getting faster all the time...

    Underneath a golden sky
    Far away I'm gonna fly
    To a place I know is there in my mind
    Like a sailor home to die
    With no journey left to try
    Throw my spirit in the tide and lead me blind
    Now I know what this game's all about
    If that's the way you wanna play
    Then count me out
