And I Think Of You ((Adapted from: E Penso A Te (Bruno Lauzi) - 1970)) ((Dutch Version: Ik Denk Aan Jou (Astrid Nijgh) - 1971)) Composer(s): Mogol - Lucio Battisti - Tanita Tikaram Performer(s): Tanita Tikaram - 1996
Night is falling I think of you I'm walking home I think of you And as he calls me, yes I do I think of you How you doing? I think of you As we leave I think of you And I smile, I can't hide I think of you
I don't know where your days are spent Your lovers and you friends But I know for sure Of who you have been thinking
Far beyond the city's lights Are two who dream a life Forgive them if they never find their freedom Their freedom
It's so late I think of you He walks me home I think of you I'm so sorry, I'm so tired I think of you And in the shadows I think of you I close my eyes I think of you Now I'm falling I think of you

I think of you As he calls my name, yes I do I think of you I think of you I think of you I think of you I think of you
And in feeling I think of you And in breathing I think of you And in seeing I think of you And in living I think of you
I Can't Quit Her Composer(s): Al Kooper; Irwin Levin Performer(s): Blood, Sweat & Tears
I can't quit her She's got a hold on me She got her hand on my soul I can't quit her 'cause I see her face everywhere I go In the city streets, in the country fields In the back of my mind I know it can't be real For a woman to possess all the tenderness she had But the hands of time keep tickin' on my back 'cause it's been so long since I had her back beside me Yeah, I know
I can't quit her 'cause on my darkest night she comes on like a light I can't quite her Try as I may, with all my might She had a woman's touch And a young girls eyes and in seconds flat I was pros'lytized turned around and made to feel sweet love But the hands of time Keep tickin' on my back 'cause it's been so long since I had her back beside me
True love is somethin' ev'ry young boy knows about and he fights his whole soul all the best to find some I was a young boy 'till I held her in my arms now I find that I'm strung out behind some
I can't quit her She got her hand on me she got a hold on my soul 'cause I your face everywhere I go I can't quit her, woo ooo yeah I know You know I see your face Everywhere I go! I need her...I need the little girl

Je Te Veux Toute À Moi
Adapted from: I Wanna Be Your Man - 1963
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney; P. Barouh
Performer(s): Jean-Claude Berthon; Les Lionceaux; Les Chaussettes Noires
Quel que soit le moyen, je m'en moque
Je te veux toute à moi
Si j'avais eu le choix de l'époque
Pour t'avoir toute à moi
J'aurais bravé le feu, les orages
La mort et les grands froids
Pour que tu saches avec quelle rage
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Mais dans ce monde où tout va si vite
Je te veux toute à moi
Autour de nous, on s'aime, on se quitte
Je te veux toute à moi
Je veux t'aimer, je veux te défendre
Je veux parler de toi
Sans éviter les mots les plus tendres
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Il faudra bien que la vie se passe
Au rythme de nos joies
Car c'est inscrit dans le temps qui passe
Je te veux toute à moi
Je n'ai pas eu le choix de l'époque
Pour t'avoir toute à moi
Quel que soit le moyen, je m'en moque
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi

Crying apples, peaches and cherries (Scooby-dooby-scoo-zoo) Apples (apples), peaches (peaches) and cherries
His daughter sat beside him there She was young and she was fair All glowing with a beauty rare A maid of sweet sixteen

He sought and found her at the mart He wooed and won the maiden's heart And now ten children ride the cart Across the village green

I Can't Make You Love Me Composer(s): Michael Barry Reid; James Allen Shamblin First release by: Bonnie Raitt - 1991 Covered by multiple other artists
Turn down the lights turn down the bed Turn down these voices inside my head Lay down with me tell me no lies Just hold me close, don't patronize Don't patronize me
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
I'll close my eyes then I won't see The love you don't feel when you're holding me Morning will come and I'll do what's right Just give me till then to give up this fight And I will give up this fight
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
Je Te Veux Composer(s): T. Brown; L. Chris; M. Jones Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Je suis le fils de l'homme et de la femme Ça m'étonne je croyais être d'avantage Quelque chose dans les yeux une flamme Je lève la tête, je brûle les nuages Mais je te veux Mais je te veux
Je suis résigné à toujours marcher Parmi ces gens qui ne me ressemblent pas J'ignore tout de l'amour de l'amitié Excepté tout le mal qu'on évite pas Mais je te veux Mais je te veux
Voici la folle qui danse sans faire de mouvement Elle m'a vu je sais ce qu'elle va vous dire Tu es pâle, tu as les yeux transparents Elle fait tomber la mer au fond de son rire Mais je la veux Mais je la veux
Ton sens des larmes demeure, n'écoute pas Je n'ai pas de larmes, je n'ai pas de sang, oh non Je n'ai qu'un amour qui ne s'arrête pas Je suis allongé sur mon lit je t'attends Car je te veux Car je te veux
Oh, je te veux Je t'aime Je t'aime encore Je suis sur mon lit Et je t'attends Car je te veux Baby Je t'attends
Tired Angels Composer(s): Felix Pappalardi - Gail Collins Performer(s): Mountain
Put their shoulders to the big wheel, work their fingers to the bone Take their pleasures in the future, put it down and bring it home Walk around into the sundown, looking for an honest man Gentle people seeing too much, aching to be wat they can
Angels, tired angels Tired down inside their shoes All wanting grace They live again rhythym lines on the king of Gondor's face Children, gentle children Gentle leaving to the wars They found their place And live again their rhythym lives on the king of Gondor's face
Sinking down into the lame words, overflowing with their sorrows Praying for it all to cease fire, saturated with desire Standing up to all the brave men, laughing hollow at the day's end Walking back and give a handshake, this is just another bad break
I Can't Love You Any More (Any More Than I Do) Composer(s): Herbert Magidson; Allie Wrubel Performer(s): Helen Forrest and multiple other artists

I love you with my heart I love you with my mind I love you, love you, love you All there is I find So I can't love you any more Any more than I do
Je Te Suivrai Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Y a plusieurs mètres d'eau dans les rues de ma peine Plusieurs tonnes de boue dans le flot de mes veines La rivière charrie les fils du téléphone Avec encore dedans mes appels qui résonnent La pluie a délavé tous les mots que j'invente Les oiseaux ont crié pour pas que tu m'entendes Aux endroits où tu étais y a des morceaux de glace Et des arbres en travers pour ne pas que je passe Où tu iras je te suivrai Je te suivrai...
Même quand tu auras fermé ta centaine de portes Même quand tu auras pleuré pour les enfants d'un autre Même quand tu auras éteint ce qui brûlait le mieux Même si tu pars plus loin que ne portent mes yeux Où tu iras je te suivrai Je te suivrai...
Même au plus profond du silence Je t'entends encore me dire On s'approche du ciel Nos livres fermés se balancent J'veux pas tomber tout seul, tomber tout seul J'veux pas tomber tout seul Si tu veux j'aimerai même ceux qui te touchent Ceux qui ont le goût de toi encore plein la bouche Même ceux que tu hais, même ceux que aimes Il y a tellement d'eau dans les rues de ma peine... Où tu iras je te suivrai
Je t'entends encore me dire On s'approche du ciel J'veux pas tomber tout seul, tomber tout seul J'veux pas tomber tout seul Il a neigé partout aux rebords des fenêtres De cette ville floue de ne plus te connaître Encore combien d'hivers passeront sous ma porte Avant qu'un jour j'ose dire que j'aime quelqu'un d'autre
He Walks Like A Man ((Italian Version: È L'uomo Per Me (Mina) - 1964)) Composer(s): Diane Hilderbrand First release by: Jody Miller - 1963
He walks like a man And he talks like a man He schemes like a man and whenever he can He dreams like a man But it's the little boy It's the little boy in him I love
He's strong like a man When he's wrong, he's a man When he's right he's a man 'Cause he never ran He'll pride like a man But it's the little boy It's the little boy in him I love
They say in every man You'll find a little boy And every now and then When he's happy or blue That little boy comes shining through
He walks like a man He talks like a man He lives like a man and since our love begun He gives like a man But it's the little boy It's the little boy in him I love (He walks like a man) But it's the little boy I love (He talks like a man) But it's the little boy I love (He gives like a man) But it's the little boy... I... love...
I Can't Live Without Your Love Composer(s): Kenneth Gamble; Leon Huff Performer(s): Teddy Pendergrass
Baby, I, oh, I I can't live without your love See, I'm smilin' on the outside, while I'm just cryin' on the inside Facin' a world without your love
See, the truth has come to light You're the reason nothing's right Alone again tonight All just because of some silly fight
I, oh, oh, oh, I I don't wanna give without your love, foolishly I suffer I only pretend, oh, just to fool my friend Don't know what to do with myself without your love
There's a wounded empty space Nothing can replace that love That love, that love, that love that I lost You're my life, you mean so much to me
And I can't go it alone This winding, this winding road is so long So pack it up, baby, get it together Let's start all over again
I, oh, oh, oh, I I don't wanna live without your love While I'm smiling on the outside, I'm just cryin' on the inside Facin' a world without your love
See, I'm fightin' sleepless nights Tears have washed all hope from sight Oh, wouldn't it be, wouldn't it be so right If I had you right here with me tonight If you only reach out your hand and save a heartbroken man I can't live

Ta chambre est couverte de petits bouts de soie Le chat, sur le tapis s'en donne à cur-joie Près du feu qui danse, le fauteuil se balance Et berce ton père endormi Ta maman, sans dire un mot Achève de plier ton trousseau Ton papa saura demain, après le bal Qu'un mariage coûte... bien du mal
Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Tire tire l'aiguille ma fille Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Tire tire l'aiguille ma fille!!
La lumière de la lampe fume et chancelle Tes yeux se couvrent d'un rideau de dentelle Ne les laisse pas se fatiguer mon amie Demain il faut être jolie Et quand l'orgue chantera Lorsqu'enfin tu lui prendras le bras Puissent des millions d'étoiles, au fil des heures Semer votre route de bonheur
Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Tire tire l'aiguille ma fille Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Laï Tire tire l'aiguille ma fille!!

Comme un grand jour de fête Comme un cadeau de la terre Une idole, un prophète Comme une nuit de lumière Comme l'eau et le sel Comme le saule de l'été Comme un feu d'arc-en-ciel Comme le vin de l'amitié
Je te regarde, je t'attends En rêvant, en dormant En dansant et en chantant Je suis sûre que viendra Le jour où tu m'aimeras Tout ce qui n'est pas toi Cela ne m'intéresse pas
Comme un riche, l'argent Et comme un pauvre, l'aumône Comme un rien, le géant Et comme un roi, son royaume Comme un cur, la chaleur Comme un pêcheur, la rivière Comme un fou, le bonheur Un étranger, la frontière
Je te regarde, je t'attends En rêvant, en dormant En dansant et en chantant Je suis sûre que viendra Le jour où tu m'aimeras Tout ce qui n'est pas toi Cela ne m'intéresse pas
Comme un juif, Israël Un musulman, l'orient Comme un prêtre, Noël Comme un vieillard, un enfant Comme un chien, sa maîtresse Et comme un chat, sa maison Une femme, sa jeunesse Comme un marin, l'horizon
Je te regarde, je t'attends En rêvant, en dormant En dansant et en chantant Je suis sûre que viendra Le jour où tu m'aimeras Tout ce qui n'est pas toi Cela ne m'intéresse pas

Just make it through, day to day Workin' hard, my body's breakin' Then there you are to greet me at the door Your hello smile from head to toe The way you say "I missed you so" Shakes up the love inside me Wakes up the man inside me You welcome me home
Another easy lovin' night You make it all worthwhile We'll just touch awhile Feel our hearts beat Another easy lovin' night Slowly warmin' up We're gettin' high on love Another easy lovin' night
No way to say how good it feels When you lie in close beside me Cuddled up, all velvet soft and warm I live for that love glowin' in your eyes And when you purr those little kitten sighs Shakes up the love inside me Wakes up the man inside me And everything's right
Another easy lovin' night You make it all worthwhile We'll just touch awhile Feel our hearts beat Another easy lovin' night Slowly warmin' up We're gettin' high on love Another easy lovin' night
Another easy lovin' night You make it all worthwhile We'll just touch...
