To Know Him, Is to Love Him ((French Version: Tout Doucement (Michèle Torr) - 1965)) Composer(s): Phil Spector First release by: The Teddy Bears - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists
To know, know, know him Is to love, love, love him Just to see him smile Makes my life worthwhile To know, know, know him Is to love, love, love him And I do (And I do, and I...) Ooo-ooo (And I do, and I...) Ooo-ooo (And I do, and I...) (And I do, and I...)
I'd be good to him I'd bring love to him Everyone says there'll come a day When I'll walk alongside of him Oh, Yes, yes to know him Is to love, love, love him And I do (And I do, and I...) Ooo-ooo (And I do, and I...) Ooo-ooo (And I do, and I...) (And I do, and I...)
Why can't he see? How blind can he be? Someday he will see That he was meant for me Hoh-oh, yes
To know, know, know him Is to love, love, love him Just to see him smile Makes my life worthwhile To know, know, know him Is to love, love, love him And I do (And I do, and I...) Ooo-ooo (And I do, and I...) Yes, I do (And I do, and I...)...
Someone's gonna see The way you look at me Someone's bound to notice How in love we seem to be Someone's gonna say That our last kiss Too far too long to say goodnight
But I don't care what people say (I don't care) I can't help feeling this way (I don't care) Let me stay Please let me stay
I won't let you down (I won't let you down) Or even make a sound (Even make a sound) I won't ask for anything Just let me be around I won't listen to them When they whisper things about you in my ear
But I don't care what people say (I don't care) I can't help feeling this way (I don't care) Let me stay Please let me stay
Someday wait and see (Someday wait and see) Bolder set you free (Bolder set you free) Someday we talked on the phone the way you used to be One day not too far away We'll show them we were right and they were wrong
For we don't care what people say (We don't care) We won't stop loving all day (We won't stop) We won't need, no, to hide away
Jef Composer(s): Jacques Brel Performer(s): Jacques Brel; and various other artists
Non Jef t'es pas tout seul Mais arrête de pleurer Comme ça devant tout le monde Parce qu'une demi-vieille Parce qu'une fausse blonde T'a relaissé tomber Non Jef t'es pas tout seul Mais tu sais que tu me fais honte A sangloter comme ça Bêtement devant tout le monde Parce qu'une trois quarts putain T'a claqué dans les mains Non Jef t'es pas tout seul Mais tu fais honte à voir Les gens se paient notre tête Foutons le camp de ce trottoir Allez viens Jef viens viens
{Refrain:} Viens il me reste trois sous On va aller se les boire Chez la mère Françoise Viens il me reste trois sous Et si c'est pas assez Ben il me restera l'ardoise Puis on ira manger Des moules et puis des frites Des frites et puis des moules Et du vin de Moselle Et si t'es encore triste On ira voir les filles Chez la madame Andrée Parait qu'y en a de nouvelles On rechantera comme avant On sera bien tous les deux Comme quand on était jeunes Comme quand c'était le temps Que j'avais de l'argent
Non Jef t'es pas tout seul Mais arrête tes grimaces Soulève tes cent kilos Fais bouger ta carcasse Je sais que t'as le cur gros Mais il faut le soulever Non Jef t'es pas tout seul Mais arrête de sangloter Arrête de te répandre Arrête de répéter Que t'es bon à te foutre à l'eau Que t'es bon à te pendre Non Jef t'es pas tout seul Mais c'est plus un trottoir ça devient un cinéma Où les gens viennent te voir Allez viens Jef viens viens
{Refrain}
Viens il me reste ma guitare Je l'allumerai pour toi Et on sera espagnols Comme quand on était mômes Même que j'aimais pas ça T'imiteras le rossignol Puis on se trouvera un banc On parlera de l'Amérique Où c'est qu'on va aller Quand on aura du fric Et si t'es encore triste Ou rien que si t'en as l'air Je te raconterai comment Tu deviendras Rockfeller On sera bien tous les deux On rechantera comme avant Comme quand on était beaux Comme quand c'était le temps D'avant qu'on soit poivrots
I Don't Blame You At All Composer(s): William Robinson Performer(s): Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool No no no no no I'm only payin' the price for a trip I took to paradise 'Cause I looked into a pair of eyes And what I thought was the look of love was only hurt in disguise Too bad I didn't realize, oh but don't apologize, no, 'cause...
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool I should've did it myself You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool No no no no no I think it's pretty plain: holdin' you would take a ball & chain Every bet I made was all in vain 'Cause what I thought was an ocean of love was just a wee drop of rain Too bad that it couldn't rain, oh but you don't have to explain, no, 'cause...
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool I should've did it myself You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool No no no no no I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool That's the thing to do You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool No no no no no
I said, what I thought was sure to last, to last was just a minute instead Too bad that I got misled, ah but you don't have to hang your head, no, 'cause...
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool I should've did it myself You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool No no no no no I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool 'Cause that's the thing to do You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool No no no no no ...

I Don't Believe In Miracles Composer(s): Russ Ballard Performer(s): Colin Blunstone and multiple other artists
I walk along the road and past your door Then I remember things you said I know in time we could've been so much more But if you wanna come back home, go right ahead
But I don't believe in miracles I don't believe in miracles But I thought you might show your face Or have the grace to tell me where you are
I believe I was your game, your ball (your ball) If you tossed me up then I would fall And so you've won again, ah, you win them all But I believe I'd run to you, if you should call
But I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) But I thought you might show your face Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are)
I believe that somewhere there's someone Who's gonna light the way when things go wrong The bullet that shot me down came from your gun The words that turned me round were from your song
But I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) But I thought you might show your face Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are)
But I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) But I thought you might show your face Or have the grace to tell me where you are
Jeepers Creepers Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Harry Warren Performer(s): Tony Bennett & Count Basie; and various other artists
I don't care what the weatherman says When the weatherman says it's raining You'll never hear me complaining I'm certain the sun will shine I don't care how the weather vane points When the weather vane points to gloomy It's gotta be sunny to me When your eyes look into mine
Jeepers creepers, where'd ya get those peepers? Jeepers creepers, where'd ya get those eyes? Gosh all, git up, how'd they get so lit up? Gosh all, git up, how'd they get that size? Golly gee, when you turn those heaters on Woe is me, got to put my cheaters on Jeepers creepers, where'd ya get those peepers? Oh, those weepers, how they hypnotize! Where'd ya get those eyes?
Teardrops Composer(s): Sonny Bono - Larry Williams Performer(s): Larry Williams
You left, left me to cry At a table that was set for two But the most I can offer A tear drop for you Tear drop for you (Teardrop for you)
The pain deep inside Uummm, I know it won't show through But the most I can offer Is a tear drop, tear drop A tear drop for you
I'd show the world (I'd show the world) Woooh, my emotions (My emotions) Yes, but what (Yes, but what) What good would it be (What good would it be) I'd tell the world (I'd tell the world) Of my devotion (Of my devotion) Yet, could it bring (Duh-duh) you back (Duh-duh) To me (Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh)
I swallowed, swallowed my pride For your love I could never hide Little girl, little girl, the most I could offer Is a tear drop (Tear drop for you)
I Don't Believe In If Anymore Composer(s): Roger Whittaker Performer(s): Roger Whittaker
Now if you load your rifle right And if you fix your bayonet so And if you kill that man, my friend The one we call the foe And if you do it often, lad And if you do it righ You'll be a hero overnight You'll save your country from her plight Remember God is always right If you survive to see the sight A friend now greeting foe...
No you won't believe in If anymore If's an illusion If's an illusion No you won't believe in If anymore If is for children If is for children Building daydreams
If I knew then what I know now (I thought I did you know somehow) If I could have the time again I'd take the sunshine leave the rain If only time would trickle slow Like rain that melts the fallen snow If only Lord if only If only Lord if only
Oh I don't believe in If anymore If's an illusion If's an illusion No I don't believe in If anymore If is for children If is for children Building daydreams
No I don't believe in If anymore If's an illusion If's an illusion No I don't believe in If anymore If is for children If is for children Building daydreams

To Keep My Love Alive Composer(s): Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers First performance: Vivienne Segal - 1943
I've been married, and married, and often I've sighed "I'm never a bridesmaid, I'm always a bride"
I never divorced them, I hadn't the heart Yet remember these sweet words, "`till death do us part"
I married many men, a ton of them Because I was untrue to none of them Because I bumped off every one of them To keep my love alive
Sir Paul was frail, he looked a wreck to me At night he was a horse's neck to me So I performed an appendectomy To keep my love alive
Sir Thomas had insomnia, he couldn't sleep at night I bought a little arsenic, he's sleeping now all right
Sir Philip played the harp, I cussed the thing I crowned him with his harp to bust the thing And now he plays where harps are just the thing To keep my love alive To keep my love alive
I thought Sir George had possibilities But his flirtations made me ill at ease And when I'm ill at ease, I kill at ease To keep my love alive
Sir Charles came from a sanitorium And yelled for drinks in my emporium I mixed one drink, he's in memorium To keep my love alive
Sir Francis was a singing bird, a nightingale, that's why I tossed him off my balcony, to see if he, could fly
Sir Atherton indulged in fratricide He killed his dad and that was patricide One night I stabbed him by my mattress-side To keep my love alive To keep my love alive To keep my love alive

J'Écoute Chanter La Brise (Portuguese Version: Sempre Que Lisboa Canta) Composer(s): Carlos Rocha; Anibal Nazaré Performer(s): Dalida
J'écoute chanter la brise et j'imagine quelques paroles Que j'aimerai que tu dises lorsque ton rêve vers moi s'envole J'entends le bruit de la vague comme un cur battre sur le rivage Il dit au long des semaines qu'il revienne, qu'il revienne
J'habite sur la falaise ma maison regarde l'eau Au loin la mer est jalouse car j'attends un matelot Garce à ses humbles prières la Madone est avec moi Et je serais la première à voir venir son trois-mâts
J'écoute chanter la brise et j'imagine quelques paroles Que j'aimerai que tu dises lorsque ton rêve vers moi s'envole J'entends le bruit de la vague comme un cur battre sur le rivage Il dit au long des semaines qu'il revienne, qu'il revienne
Les jours sont tous des dimanches lorsque les bateaux sont là Devant chaque maison blanche un grand fil séchera On danse le long des plages on a plus qu'une pensée Mais que c'est triste un village quand sont loin les fiancés
J'écoute chanter la brise elle murmure tant de merveilles Que tu le lui as apprise pour ne les dire qu'à mon oreille J'écoute le vent d'Espagne le vent qui saute de la montagne Pour chanter le long des vignes reviens vite, reviens vite Reviens
I Do, Do You? Composer(s): Lou Quadling Performer(s): Dinah Shore
I do, do you? Do you believe in love? I never did before, but now I do Whenever you're near me I thrill with happiness And if that isn't love I miss my guess Oh yes, I do, do you? Do you believe it's love? What else could bring an angel down to earth? When you're in my arms I weaken with each caress Oh yes, I do, do you?
Whenever you're near me I thrill with happiness And if that isn't love I miss my guess Oh yes, I do, do you? Do you believe it's love? What else could bring an angel down to earth? When you're in my arms I weaken with each caress Oh yes, I do, do you?
Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair (aka I Dream Of Jeannie With The Light Brown Hair) Composer(s): Stephen Foster Performer(s): Glenn Miller and multiple other artists
I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air I see her tripping where the bright streams play Happy as the daisies that dance on her way
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er Oh! I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair Floating, like a vapor, on the soft, summer air
I long for Jeannie with the day dawn smile Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile I hear her melodies, like joys gone by Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain Wailing for the lost one that comes not again Oh! I long for Jeannie, and my heart bows low Never more to find her where the bright waters flow
I sigh for Jeannie, but her light form strayed Far from the fond hearts round her native glade Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone
Now the nodding wild flow'rs may wither on the shore While her gentle fingers will cull them no more Oh! I sigh for Jeannie with the light brown hair Floating like a vapor, on the soft summer air
I Do Not Know A Day I Did Not Love You Composer(s): Martin Charnin; Richard Rodgers Performer(s): Tony Bennett; Michael Jovovich
I do not know a day I did not love you I can't remember love not being there The planting when the earth ran through your fingers The harvest when the sun danced in your hair
I do not know a day I did not need you For sharing every moment that I spent I needed you before I ever knew you Before I knew what needing someone meant
And if we ever were to have tomorrow One fact alone is full and filled with song You will not know a day I do not love you The way that I have loved you all our lives
