I Do It For Your Love Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Paul Simon and multiple other artists
We were married on a rainy day The sky was yellow And the grass was grey We signed the papers And we drove away I do it for your love
The rooms were musty And the pipes were old All that winter we shared a cold Drank all the orange juice That we could hold I do it for your love
Found a rug In an old junk shop And I brought it home to you Along the way the colours ran The orange bled the blue
The sting of reason The splash of tears The northern and the southern hemisphere Love emerges and it disappears I do it for your love I do it for your love

To ev'ry girl, to ev'ry boy Whose empty heart has known no joy This emptiness is part of your love story Till you know the meaning of love To ev'ry one who feels afraid It's only Life that's on parade And Life may bring you tears, in place of glory Till you know the meaning of love There may be pain There may be misery All this may be Along with ecstacy Don't think these things are far above you It's always so, when someone loves you Your day will come, Your eyes will shine And you will cry, "This love is mine!" And suddenly your heart will tell you You know the meaning of love!

Staying Young Composer(s): Bob Merrill Performer(s): Walter Pidgeon and multiple other artists
Damn, damn, damn!
A man is a fool to lose his temper He plays right into the hand of his opponent If a man perturbs the nerves that should be placid Only stodges turn to acid
As they say in Christian Science, "Rise above it!" Should an elephant be panicked by an ant That's why a man's a fool to lose his temper Over a miserable son-of-a-..., like that
Imagine that, that squeeky little rat What an evil mind a man must have to make him so suspicious His little angel with her turned up spout I'll bet a lump of butter wouldn't melt in her mouth My son Richard doesn't know the score yet I'll bet Richard doesn't even know what girls are for yet
I should have taken that Macomber by the neck Wiped up the porch with him Dumped him in the grass Punched him in the nose
I'm glad I'm not yet an old like that And wind up losin' my hold like that Should the truth be known He's resentful of the young 'Cause he's over the hill, lookin' back And his hindsight's all out o' wack
I'm glad I'm not yet an old like that And wind up losin' my hold like that
The moon has a few new wrinkles It shines a bit more silver now than gold I'm stayin' young, I'm stayin' young But everyone around me's growin' old
When life only rains in sprinkles You've got to gather all your hands can hold I'm stayin' young, I'm stayin' young But everyone around me's growin' old
While love is still my jewel of recollection No Valentine too 'fraid and frail to fold So I'll go my heart's direction My story's in the telling, not the told I'm stayin' young, I'm stayin' young It's wonderful the way I hold my own When everything surrounding me has grown so old
Reprise:
The Moon has a few new wrinkles It shines a bit more silver now than gold I'm stayin' young, I'm stayin' young But everything around me's growin' old
The house has the creaks and trembles And winter leaves her shiverin' from cold I'm stayin' young, I'm stayin' young It's wonderful the way I hold my own When everything surrounding me has grown so old
My Wife, she's gettin' old I watch her when she walks and I feel a little ache It really is amazing all the changes time can make She asks me every day, "Is my hair getting grey?" And I look, but just a bit beyond And I say, "Hah, not grey, Dear, it's blonde"
I seek not for praise, but I have some days When I look so young and sporty I get looks from girls, from sweet things in curls Some of them as young as forty
When I meet some friend or neighbour I say it out of common decency I always say, "Why, you ain't changed a day" And then I have to laugh if they agree 'Cause everybody else is growin' old... like me!
Jeanie Composer(s): Mike Chapman; Nicky Chinn Performer(s): Sweet
The nights in this lonely world Makes this life for me Seem like an empty shell But I'll wait 'till time arrives Then we'll be together and I'll realize
The time I spend Just feeling blue Is all worth while Now I'm with you, Jeanie
The sails on the open sea Try to take the thought of you Away from me The blue visions in my eyes Constantly remain And make me realize
The dreams I spend Just looking through Seem all worth while Now I'm with you, Jeanie
And now through the morning light Traces of your voice That echo warm me night You appear and the sun will rise Reaching out through me And then I'll realize
The time I spend Just feeling blue Is all worth while Now I'm with you, Jeanie
The time I spend Just feeling blue Is all worth while Now I'm with you, Jeanie
Yeah, the time I spend Just feeling blue Is all worth while Now I'm with you, Jeanie
I Dig Rock And Roll Music Composer(s): Dave Dixon; James Mason; Noel Paul Stookey Performer(s): Peter, Paul and Mary and multiple other artists
I dig Rock and Roll music and I love to get the chance to play (and sing it) I figure it's about the happiest sound goin' down today The message may not move me or mean a great deal to me But hey! it feels so groovy to say
I dig the Mamas and the Papas at "The Trip" Sunset Strip in L.A. And they got a good thing goin' when the words don't get in the way And when they're really wailing, Michelle and Cass are sailin' Hey! they really nail me to the wall
I dig Donovan in a dream-like, tripped out way His crystal images tell you 'bout a brighter day And when the Beatles tell you They've got a word "love" to sell you They mean exactly what they say
I dig Rock and Roll music I could really get it on in that scene. I think I could say somethin' if you know what I mean But if I really say it, the radio won't play it Unless I lay it between the lines!
I know that someday you're gonna miss me One day you'll wanna kiss me, some way You'll try to find a way back to my heart I know that sometime when you are lonely Somewhere, wanting me only, somehow You're gonna wish we'd never had to part I know someday
You've always wanted so much to be free From now on, baby, that's okay with me You go your way, like just you wait and see I'll count to ten and baby then
I know that someday you're gonna miss me One day you'll wanna kiss me, some way You'll try to find a way back to my heart I know that sometime when you are lonely Somewhere, wanting me only, somehow You're gonna wish we'd never had to part I know someday
I try to hold you, but it's all in vain You're in my arms and then you're out again But baby, I can play the waiting game I'll count to nine and bide my time
I know that someday you're gonna miss me One day you'll wanna kiss me, some way You'll try to find a way back to my heart I know that sometime when you are lonely Somewhere, wanting me only, somehow You're gonna wish we'd never had to part I know someday
(Someday, some way) You'll try to find a way back to my heart I know that (Sometime, somewhere)...
I Didn't Slip, I Wasn't Pushed, I Fell Composer(s): Edward Pola; George Wyle Performer(s): Doris Day; Bing Crosby; Jo Stafford
(She didn't slip, she wasn't pushed She only fell, in love with you)
I didn't slip, I wasn't pushed, I fell, oh yes Right into the middle of a warm caress
(She didn't slip, she wasn't pushed She only fell, in love with you)
I didn't slip, I wasn't tripped, I fell, and how I'll be glad to speak of that adventure now
(We'd like to speak of that adventure now)
There I was, mindin' my business and thinkin' that love Was only a juvenile pastime Then I fell, head over heels into love And I know that I'm goin' down for the last time
I didn't slip, I wasn't pushed, I fell, you bet And if you hadn't caught me in your arms Why, I'd be fallin' yet
There I was, mindin' my business and thinkin' that love Was only a juvenile pastime Then I fell, head over heels into love And I know that I'm goin' down for the last time
I didn't slip, I wasn't pushed, I fell, you bet And if you hadn't caught me in your arms Why, I'd be fallin' yet
(She didn't slip, she wasn't pushed, she only fell)
Jean Et Martine (Le Routier) Composer(s): Michel Emer Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Jean le routier roule sur la route Il y a les arbres, il y a les champs La pluie qui tombe à grosses gouttes 'y a les virages, il y a le vent Il y a le froid et le soleil Il y a le jour, il y a la nuit Et la fatigue, et le sommeil Et les quinze tonnes, ça fait du bruit ...Mais il y a aussi à la maison Sa petite Martine et sa chanson
"Jean va rentrer de sa tournée" Chante Martine dans sa cuisine "Il sera sûrement fatigué Il aura sa pauvre petite mine Mais je pourrai le regarder Et l'embrasser pendant qu'il dîne Et le soigner, le cajoler Et me serrer sur sa poitrine Plus tard quand il s'endormira Moi, je serai dans ses bras..."
Il y a du brouillard à sa fenêtre Martine attend... On a sonné C'est un monsieur avec une lettre Il a l'air sombre et ennuyé "La Compagnie... Condoléances... Un accident... Faut signer là... Il y a les obsèques et l'assurance..." Pourtant Martine ne comprend pas Ce n'est pas vrai... Elle n'y croit pas Dans cinq minutes il sera là...
"...Jean va rentrer de sa tournée" Chante Martine dans sa cuisine "Il sera sûrement fatigué Il aura sa pauvre petite mine ...Je vais le soigner, le cajoler... Et me serrer sur sa poitrine Plus tard quand il s'endormira... Non! Non! Non!...
I Didn't See The Time Go By French Title: Je N'ai Pas Vu Le Temps Passer Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Herbert Kretzmer Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Now as the wheel of life turns faster Now as the seasons seem to fly I see so many things at last But didn't see the time go by I've known delight, I've known disaster The caviar, the humble pie From the absurd to the sublime I didn't see the time go by I didn't see the years roll on I didn't know the road would bend Refused to see when youth was gone Pretending it might never end Now there is a price to pay For every day I threw away It seems I wasted half a lifetime Within the blinking of an eye I didn't hear the midnight chime I didn't see the time go by In still of nights and brief romances I kissed the girls and made them cry While there were balconies to climb I didn't see the time go by I was the guy with all the answers The half-way truth, the little lie So sure so certain in my prime I didn't see the time go by I hit the heights, I bit the dirt I left some wreckage in my wake I didn't see that lies can hurt I didn't know how hearts can break And now they come to haunt my mind The lives I touched and left behind I've sung a hundred songs of longing Of sweet regret and hope run dry I've searched for melody and rhyme But never saw how time can fly Never saw the darkening sky I was a minstrel of my time Who did not see the time go by
