Thinking Of You
Composer(s): A.H. Eastman - Fred Heltman



When the roses were in blossom, and the soft wind sang low
we were sitting in the gloaming, in the long, long ago
Then you told me how you loved me, that old story, ever new
and you kissed me, I remember, now I'm thinking of you

There's a faded little flower I have treasured with care
on my bossom it reposes, I am keeping it there
'T is a rosebud that you gave me, and the rose is ever true
I am thinking, fondly thinking, yes, I'm thinking of you

In the twilight, softly falling, at the quiet closing of day
tender memories I'm recalling, as the hours are passing away
and the shadows now are flitting, while the bright stars peep through
By the firelight I am sitting, and I'm thinking, dearest, of you

Counting
Composer(s): B. Lind
Performer(s): Liesbeth List



Now is the glimmering, spinning, beginning
of something I’ve prayed for
and counted the minutes
to be in the shadow of sheltering meadows of night
with you in my arms

This is the moment that poses to hold us
as you and I move, in a background of wonder
surrounded by countesses and closures of nocturne
and spoken music of joy

Counting times, I have stood at the foot
of your ivory tower and weeped
and called out your name by the hour
and counted on wings of my heart-strings
to carry this sound
I have counted on pleading
you’d see how I need you, come down

And now between twilight and midnight
you came to me
down in your gown of soft moonbeams and starlight
Bright as the evening that breezes has fenced us
and mastered against us 
you’re here

And warm and mine
till the time when the dawn will awake me
the morning will shake me
the highway will take me

But now will the rains of the moon make me gaze
We will swim in the lustre of lingering streetlights
and count on the night to hold everything even
and count on forgetting that I will be leaving
when heaven has folded and then in the dawn
I’ll be gone

But now as the gardens of softening night-time
are blossoming slowly around where we are
you and I came together
and walked through the dreams of the stars

So, here where the sun of the deepening evening
is singing to me from the light in your eyes
we can count on eachother
to move to the beach of tomorrow
and know where we’ve been

J'Ai Deux Mains, J'Ai Deux Pieds, 
Une Bouche Et Puis Un Nez
Composer(s): Franck Gérald; 
Y. Ouazana; J.P. Festi
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan



Je ne pleure pas
Même quand tu m'en donnes envie
Je ne me plains pas
Même quand je reste seule toute la nuit
Je ne parle pas
Lorsque tu ne veux pas parler
A côté de toi
Je suis devenue la fille que tu voulais

{Refrain:}
Oh! Je n'ai plus de cœur
Je suis un objet
Une jolie fleur en papier découpé
Je n'ai plus de cœur
Je ne suis qu'un jouet
Qui d'un air moqueur ne fait que répéter
J'ai deux mains, j'ai deux pieds
Une bouche et puis un nez

Grâce à toi pourtant
Je pourrais renaître à la vie
Il est encore temps
Mais tu ne t'aperçois pas du temps qui s'enfuit
Et tant pis pour toi
Lorsque tu te réveilleras
Tu ne trouveras
Qu'une étrange mécanique
Qui te dira
{au Refrain, x2}

They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
Composer(s): Gareth Mortimer
Performer(s): Racing Cars



Here we go
Round and round the floor
Together in time
Here we sit
It looks like this is it
Whatever
This time

It's making no sense
But we'll stay here till the end
Whatever
This time

They shoot horses don't they?
They shoot horses don't they?
They shoot horses don't they?

Carousel
A crazy wishing well
Whenever you fall
It seems so long
Just like a marathon
The belle of the ball

It's making no sense
But we'll stay here till the end
Whatever
This time

They shoot horses don't they?
They shoot horses don't they?
They shoot horses don't they?

and multiple other artists



Layin' in bed this mornin' with my face turned to the wall
Layin' in bed this mornin' with my face turned to the wall
Trying to count these blues so I could sing 'em all

Memphis, Ramport, Beale Street set 'em, free
Memphis, Ramport, Beale Street set 'em, free
Graveyard, 'Bama Bound, Lord, Lord, come from stingaree

Lord sittin' on the Southern gonna ride all night long
Lord sittin' on the Southern gonna ride all night long
Downhearted, Gulf Coast - they was all good songs

Lord, 'rested at midnight, Jailhouse made me loose my mind
Lord, 'rested at midnight, Jailhouse made me loose my mind
Bad Luck 'n' Boll-Weevil, made me think of old Moonshine

Lord, goin' to sleep now for Mama just got bad news
Lord, goin' to sleep now for Mama just got bad news
To try to dream away my troubles, countin' these blues

J'ai Deux Amours
((English Version: Two Loves Have I (Perry Como) - 1947))
Composer(s): Georges Koger - Henri Varna
First recording: Joséphine Baker - 1931
Covered by multiple other artists



On dit qu'au delà des mers
Là-bas sous le ciel clair
Il existe une cité
Au séjour enchanté
Et sous les grands arbres noirs
Chaque soir
Vers elle s'en va tout mon espoir

J'ai deux amours
Mon pays et Paris
Par eux toujours
Mon cœur est ravi
Ma savane est belle
Mais à quoi bon le nier
Ce qui m'ensorcelle
C'est Paris, Paris tout entier
Le voir un jour
C'est mon rêve joli
J'ai deux amours
Mon pays et Paris

Quand sur la rive parfois
Au lointain j'aperçois
Un paquebot qui s'en va
Vers lui je tends les bras
Et le cœur battant d'émoi
A mi-voix
Doucement je dis "emporte-moi!"

J'ai deux amours...

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

They Say
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

J'Ai De La Veine
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

Performer(s): Aled Jones
and multiple other artists



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

Performer(s): Edith Piaf



{Refrain:}
J'ai dansé avec l'amour
J'ai fait des tours et des tours
Ce fut un soir merveilleux
Je ne voyais que ses yeux si bleus
Ses cheveux couleur de blond
Lui et moi, que c'était bon
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

{Refrain}

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

Count On Me
Composer(s): J. Barish
Performer(s): Marty Balin



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
