Together Let's Find Love Composer(s): James W. Alexander - Willie Hutch Performer(s): The 5th Dimension
I don't know much about this thing called love But I'm willing to try
I don't know much about it either, baby But if you're willing, then so am I
Together, we will float away in a dream On our own private cloud If you know what I mean Oh...
Together, oh, baby, let's find love Baby, baby, you and me Together, oh, baby, let's find love Together, baby, you and me, that's the way it's got to be
I don't know much about the feeling shared When two lovers kiss
Oh, and I don't know much about it either, baby But I'm willing to find out what I missed
Together, we'll persue love to the extreme
Let's not miss a thing, girl, if you know what I mean Oh...
Together, oh, baby, let's find love Baby, baby, you and me Together, oh, baby, let's find love Together, baby, you and me, that's the way it's got to be
Oh, oh, together, oh, oh, baby let's find love Baby, baby, you and me Together, oh, oh, baby, let's find love Together, baby, you and me, that's the way it's got to be
Oh, oh, together, oh, baby, let's find love Baby, baby, you and me Together, oh, oh, baby, let's find love Together, baby, you and me, that's the way it's got to be
I Get A Kick Out Of You Composer(s): Cole Porter First performance by: William Gaxton & Ethel Merman - 1934 Covered by multiple other artists
My story is much too sad to be told But practically ev'rything leaves me totally cold The only exception I know is the case When I'm out on a quiet spree Fighting vainly the old ennui And I suddenly turn and see Your fabulous face....
I get no kick from champagne Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all So tell me why should it be true That I get a kick out of you
Some get a kick from cocaine I'm sure that if I took even one sniff That would bore me terrific'ly too Yet I get a kick out of you
I get a kick ev'ry time I see You're standing there before me I get a kick though it's clear to see You obviously do not adore me
I get no kick in a plane Flying too high with some gal/guy in the sky Is my idea of nothing to do But I get a kick out of you
J'La Croise Tous Les Matins Composer(s): Jean-Jacques Goldman Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
J'la croise tous les matins, cinq heures quarante Elle va prendre son train et moi j'rentre Elle commence sa journée toujours à l'heure Moi, la lumière me fait peur Elle a cette assurance inaccessible De ceux qu'ont d'la chance de naissance
Elle est belle comme les filles du jour Comme celles qui n'ont rien à cacher Et moi j'attends toujours, avant de rentrer Juste pour la regarder
A la voir on devine des enfants coiffés Un homme, l'odeur du café La vie qu'on imagine, avant de plonger Celle que j'n'aurai jamais
Et moi je me sens misérable Sali des fumées de mes nuits Moi je suis né coupable Coupable d'envies, son monde est interdit
Je maudis les fins de semaine Quand les autres me l'ont volée Jusqu'au lundi matin, cinq heures quarante Elle va prendre son train... et moi j'rentre
Egoïste ((Adapted from: Echo Beach (Martha and the Muffins) - 1980)) Composer(s): Mark Gane - La Grande Sophie Performer(s): La Grande Sophie - 2006
Tu sais qu'il y a des poissons qui meurt dans leur bocal Sans module même sans raison ni même une carte postal En égoïste tu regardes le monde En égoïste tu creuses sous ta tombe
Tu t'ai pas demandé si on était heureux Tu m'as pas regardé une seul fois dans les yeux Tu sais qu'il y a du monde qui vis autour de toi Mais tu ne vois personne car tu ne vois que toi
Les lignes à hautes tentions les primeurs familiales Les autres l'appel affraction pour le jeu triomphale En égoïste tu porte bien le moi En égoïste tu ne nous aura pas
Tu t'ai pas demandé si on était heureux Tu m'as pas regardé une seul fois dans les yeux Tu sais qu'il y a du monde qui vis autour de toi Mais tu ne vois personne car tu ne vois que toi
Egoïste tien voilà les nouvelles Egoïste tien voilà les nouvelles Egoïste tien voilà les nouvelles Egoïste tien voilà les nouvelles Egoïste tien voilà les nouvelles Egoïste tien voilà les nouvelles Egoïste tien voilà les nouvelles Egoïste tien voilà les nouvelles

I Gave My Wedding Dress Away Composer(s): Hy Heath; Fred Rose Performer(s): Kitty Wells; Eileen Reid & The Cadets
Tomorrow was to be my wedding day But I gave my wedding dress away Another will be holding my bouquet So I gave my wedding dress away
My baby sister wanted him And so she took my place It's worth a broken heart To see the smile upon her face I've cared for her since Mother went away So I gave my wedding dress away
"Everything I ever wanted, she always wanted too And maybe giving in to her was not the thing to do I always let her have her way, perhaps I wasn't strong But I was all she had to turn to when anything went wrong She's all I have to live for, she's all the joy I've ever had And though she's hurt me many times, she really isn't bad I saw the lovelight in her eyes, the day she met my Jim And then I knew that he belonged to her and she belonged to him"
If I could win him back again Our love would be devine But I could never break her heart The way that she broke mine I'll worship him until my dying day But I gave my wedding dress away

I Gave My Love A Diamond Composer(s): Bert Berns; Wes Farrell Performer(s): Them & Van Morrison
I gave my love a diamond, a ten cent stone I gave her lonely teardrops and nights alone I gave my love a promise that had no truth What good is a promise without no truth?
I gave my love a fortune in silver and gold I gave it to her lie by lie by lie by lie that I had told I gave my love a story that had no end What good is a story that's got no end? Tell me
I wrote her that we'd get married in about one year's time I wrote her in a boxcar on the Memphis line I sent my love a letter without no stamp - ha! And what good is a letter without no stamp?
Goodbye baby I'm feelin' so alone I'm movin' on I ain't got no tall tale Don't call me - I'll call you See ya

I gave my love a cherry That had no stone I gave my love a chicken That had no bone I told my love a story That had no end I gave my love a baby With no crying
How can there be a cherry That has no stone? And how can there be a chicken That has no bone? And how can there be a story That has no end? And how can there be a baby With no crying?

My heart was crying til I found you in my dreams My heart stopped sighing when I found you in my dreams The moon above, your song of love created romance Kisses so tender made me surrender, dear But now Im singing a song of a million themes Your smile is bringing the joy of a million schemes Youre my ideal, and now that I know youre real I bless the night that I found you in my dreams
J'Irai Où Tu Iras Composer(s): Michel Berger Performer(s): France Gall
Il y a des moments si beau Qu'on voudrait y croire Quand on veut les saisir Quand on sait les voir Et puisqu'il faut vivre Etre ensemble ou se suivre C'est beaucoup plus fort Je suis peut etre celle qui te fermera les yeux Peut etre qu'on se croise pour un instant ou deux Dans ce qui nous entoure Y a tellement d'élans d'amour Qui se perdent
Là Là C'est un volcan qui gronde Là Là C'ets un rêve qui s'en va Là Là Un homme qui sort de l'ombre Là Là Et se bat Là Là On s'écroule sous le nombre Là Là Mais les enfants sont rois Là Là On est au bout du monde Là Là Mais moi... J'irai où tu iras
Quelquefois je suis l'eau Quand tu voudrais le feu Peut-être qu'on est seul Même quand on est deux Mais quand tout semble possible Partager l'inaccessible C'est beaucoup plus fort
Là Là C'est une passion qui sombre Là Là On fait des feux de joie Là Là On veut refaire le monde Là Là On y croit Là Là C'est la force qui tombe Là Là Et fait régner sa loi Là Là La colère et la fronde Là Là Mais moi... J'irai où tu iras
I Found The End Of The Rainbow Composer(s): John Mears; Harry Tierney; Joseph McCarthy Performer(s): The Big Apple Chorus
Thought I'd never find my happiness I just watched the days roll by But a ray of gladness came through clouds of sadness like a little sunbeam from the sky I found a rainbow of a golden hue it led me to a land where dreams come true
Thought I'd never find my luck day failure was my middle name My imagination, thrilled with new sensation I had a winning in life's game here after I will always trust in fate the sun will always shine for those who wait
I found the end of the rainbow when you first smiled on me all my happiness came with your caress and the world was fair to see believe me, somebody way up in heaven just sent the sunshine through and I found the end of the rainbow when I found you sweet you
