Tonight We Love ((Adapted from: Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto in B-Flat Minor)) Composer(s): Ray Austin - Freddy Martin - Bobby Worth Performer(s): Tony Martin and multiple other artists
Tonight we love while the moon Beams down in dream light tonight We touch the stars Love is ours Night winds that sigh Embrace the sky Tonight we love in the glow That glows so softly I know This wasn't meant to borrow but tomorrow Will it be gone Or will it always live on Tonight we love
I Have Waited So Long Composer(s): Mick Jones Performer(s): Foreigner
I have waited oh, so long Please don't tell me baby I was wrong Dreaming of you every night Holding back until the time was right I've counted the days, day after day Since we've been apart Now I've found my way, I've found my way Right back to your heart I've been searching for you every where Calling you, but you were never there Seeking in the dark of night Hoping one day you would shine a light I've counted each day, day after day Since we've been apart Now I've found my way, I've found my way Right back to your heart I have waited oh, so long Please don't tell me baby I was wrong Dreaming of you every night, every night, every night Holding back until the time was right Ooh, I have waited so long Aah, don't tell me I was wrong I dream of you, I'm dreaming of you baby Don't go away
J'Ôte Le Veston Composer(s): Pierre Roche; Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Je suis chatouilleux de nature Je l'avoue j'ai le sang bouillant Ça m'entraîne dans les aventures Les plus cocasses évidemment L'autre soir dans un café Je me sens bousculé Par qui, je ne sais pas Il était derrière moi D'un bond je me lève, hors de moi
J'ôte le veston, le gilet, la cravate Car aux entournures je n'aime pas être gêné Ce n'est vraiment pas pour vous faire de l'épate Mais j'ai horreur qu'on me marche sur les pieds Alors je crie d'une voix de tonnerre Celui qu'a fait ça peut compter ses osselets Il se réveillera de main à Lariboisière Qu'il approche si ce n'est pas un dégonflé Je vois venir un mousse, une armoire Une masse informe dans les deux cents kilos Avec des mains larges comme des battoirs Toutes prêtes à filer des ramponneaux Avant qu'il me touche je m'étais débiné
Je dois l'avouer, de nature Je suis extrêmement amoureux Et j'adore les aventures Qui me rendent très vaniteux L'autre jour je vois passer Une femme, une beauté Marchant à petits pas L'attaque cela va de soi Chez elle je fais comme chez moi
J'ôte le veston, le gilet, la cravate Car aux entournures je n'aime pas être gêné Ce n'est vraiment pas pour vous faire de l'épate Pour une beauté, c'était une beauté Elle paraissait follement amoureuse Sue le divan elle était allongée Elle prenait des poses si langoureuses Que même un saint se serait laisser damner Je m'approchais, j'étais sûr de moi-même Bombant le torse comme un vrai conquérant Mais au moment de me dire je t'aime Elle dit pour toi ce sera cinq cents francs En un clin d'oeil je me suis rhabillé Avant de l'aimer je m'étais débiné
Un jour plein de mélancolie Déçu de tout même de l'amour Je voulus arrêter ma vie Et pour mettre fin à mes jours Je voulais un revolver Mais ça coûtait trop cher Le gaz ça sent pas bon Je préfère un plongeon Je me prépare au grand bouillon
J'ôte le veston, le gilet, la cravate Car aux entournures je n'aime pas être gêné Je ne sais pas nager, y'a pas de raison que je me rate Pour en finir je n'ai donc qu'à plonger Je veux mourir, j'en suis sûr, mais quand même Faut que je prends mon courage à deux mains En essayant de me passer de la troisième Tout à rater car je manquais d'entrain Alors afin d'avoir plus de courage Je suis entré dans un petit bistro J'ai bu, j'ai bu tellement que j'enrage Le goût de vivre m'est revenu subito Tant bien que mal je me suis rhabillé Et en zigzaguant je me suis débiné
Tonight She Comes Composer(s): Ric Ocasek Performer(s): The Cars; Action Action
I know tonight she comes She's taken a swipe at fun She gives me a reason The sight in my sights Well I know tonight she comes

I Have Lived French & Italian Titles: J'ai Vécu; Ho Vissuto Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Hirshhorn Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
When I take a one-way ticket to the road of no return on a journey every man must make some day When it's time to meet the Father and explains my sins away I will tell him, yes I'll tell him I have lived
I have lived each single moment as a man of flesh and blood with my soul and all my senses open wide I have lived and tasted everything that called out to be tried and afraid of either heaven or of hell never caring if I had a soul to sell
I was no more optimistic than my fellow man would be I have always been an artist, not a saint Now the moonlights are dimming no more costumes, no more paint I admit that I was selfish, I have lived
I have lived a life of running, after joy and happiness with a new dream always tearing at my heart Oh my Lord, I should have thought of my salvation at the start but on Earth so many mornings I was told you would take a sinner back into the fall
If my reasons seem too fragile and my words have no effect and forgiveness is the one thing I must win I'll explain my live and show you all I am and all I've been and I'll say for my defence that I have lived
I have lived with soul on fire, with desire in my skin in the name of all the women I have known I have worshipped every shrine of love and if I must at all I'll be ready then to kneel and pay the price for the yesterdays I spent in Paradise
Josie Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen Performer(s): Steely Dan
We're gonna break out the hats and hooters When Josie comes home We're gonna rev up the motor scooters When Josie comes home to stay We're gonna park in the street Sleep on the beach and make it Throw down the jam till the girls say when Lay down the law and break it When Josie comes home
When Josie comes home So good She's the pride of the neighborhood She's the raw flame The live wire She prays like a Roman With her eyes on fire
Jo would you love to scrapple She'll never say no Shine up the battle apple We'll shake 'em all down tonight We're gonna mix in the street Strike at the stroke of midnight Dance on the bones till the girls say when Pick up what's left by daylight When Josie comes home
When Josie comes home So bad She's the best friend we ever had She's the raw flame The live wire She prays like a Roman With her eyes on fire
When Josie comes home So good She's the pride of the neighborhood She's the raw flame The live wire She prays like a Roman With her eyes on fire

Wenn and're froh sind ist sie traurig und ihre Freundin ist die Nacht und sie träumt oft tagelang mit dem Wind
wenn er von Süden kommt und Sehnsucht klingt in der Stimme wenn sie lacht. Sie hat ein Kleid aus Sonnenschein und traut sich nicht es anzuzieh'n und nur heimlich wenn es keiner merkt
sieht man sie darin spazierengehn und etwas in ihr will fast zerspringen
Josie Josie es ist soweit Vergiß die Mädchenträume und halte dich bereit Der Tag geht abends schlafen und wacht als Morgen auf Doch aus dem Kind von gestern wird nur langsam eine Frau
Mit jedem Blick in ihren Spiegel sehn sie zwei Augen fragend an
und ihr Freund der Wind ist plötzlich stumm
und kein Traum will mehr wie früher sein
und in der Nacht fühlt sie sich so allein Mit jedem Tag spürt sie es mehr und weiß doch nicht woran sie ist
denn es ist niemand da der ihr hilft sich selber zu verstehen und etwas in ihr will zerspringen
Josie Josie es ist soweit Vergiß die Mädchenträume und halte dich bereit Der Tag geht abends schlafen und wacht als Morgen auf Doch aus dem Kind von gestern wird nur langsam eine Frau
(Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away) (Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away)
Tonight my heart she is crying Tonight my heart she is sad Tonight the wind she is sighing For the love that I had
The Moon is there in the sky above But not the way it was before My baby's eyes, filled with shining love Do not see me anymore (Not see her anymore)
(Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away) (Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away)
My baby's heart is like the diamond stone So very beautiful, but cold My baby's heart is like the diamond stone So very beautiful, but cold
Tonight my heart she is crying There is no happiness for me Tonight my dream she is dying Like the ripple on the sea
I make the future, I make the plan The plan she do not turn out right My baby leave me for another woman And my heart she cries tonight (Her heart she cries tonight)
Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away
Joshua Giraffe was born in a zoo He lived there too For two years and a half He hasn't had a bath My mommy doesn't lick me Even when I'm sticky from Candy floss, candy apples, popcorn Soft drinks, jelly beans and gumdrops And there must be something better Than living in this cage But I'm really not too sure Because I'm really short of age
Joshua Giraffe was feeling kind of sad Things were going bad How little of life he had Wasting away with no room to play Trapped in a zoo with buffalo too So he went next door to the elephant And asked him what to do I'm wasting away with no room to play I'm trapped in a zoom with buffalo too The elephant was very old and gray And he had a huge balloon bottom He said Never fear Joshua A vision will appear
That night a dream came to Joshua And Joshua saw animals like crazy monkeys And a whole pile of Hippypotostropasuses And flitty moths Moths size 12 And sleazy lizards And a tribe of nasty saviars But Joshua wasn't afraid Because he sang himself this song
Nothing can go wrong-o I'm in the Kongo Nothing can go wrong-o I'm in the Kongo Nothing can go wrong-o I'm in the Kongo Nothing can go wrong-o I'm in the Kongo Nothing can go wrong-o I'm in the Kongo Nothing can go wrong-o I'm in the Kongo
Even in his dream he knew He'd never get away Not even for a day Then a peanut hit him on the nose Joshua Giraffe was back in the zoo What could he do Awakened from his dream He'd never be the same Because of what he'd seen He'd seen Alligators, crocodiles, tree sloth Anacondas, cobras And large winged moths Orangatangs, baboons eating grapes Gibbons, rude mandrills and just plain apes
But Joshua was lucky He had some special friends And that day they went to the zoo But he was up tight so they waited till the night And they chopped his cage in two He discovered he could fly and He soared into the sky with them Wrapped around his neck And they haven't come back yet So if you see them get a net
That's right, they haven't come back yet But when they do, they say they are Going to free all the animals from their cages No matter how new or modern Even some pets too So if on your way home today You happen to find....
A baboon basking in the balcony Or a lion licking a lemon in the lobby Or a python perched in the pantry A wildebeest in the W.C. With a turtle twirling in your tub Don't be afraid Just say you're a friend of their friend
Tonight My Baby's Coming Home Composer(s): Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton Performer(s): Barbara Mandrell and multiple other artists
Last night he called from Dallas He was havin' a beer at the Crystal Palace He said honey you won't be alone for long I got to make just one more stop To pick up a ring in Little Rock And I'm a gonna head this semi straight for home
Fourteen wheels a whinin' Four big headlights shinin' Him and that semi been away too long Hope he don't get stop from speedin' 'Cause I've got everything he's needin' Waitin' for him right here at home
He's got that big ole engine singin' Singin' my favorite song And I know he's headin' my way Rollin' down the highway Tonight my baby's comin' home
For ten thousand miles I've missed him It's been a week since I kissed him And forty truckstops since I held him tight A million chicks and he can get 'em They wanna make love and he won't let 'em The only thing he wants he'll get tonight
He's got that big ole engine singin' I know he's headin' my way Rollin' down the highway Tonight my baby's comin' home I know he's headin' my way... I know he's headin' my way...
I Have Dreamed From "The King and I" Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists
I have dreamed that your arms are lovely And I have dreamed what a joy you'll be I have dreamed ev'ry word you'll whisper When you're close, close to me

In these dreams I've loved you so That by now I think I know What it's like to be loved by you I will love being loved by you
Joseph! Joseph! Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Nellie Casman; Saul Chaplin; Samuel Steinberg Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters; and various other artists
A certain maid I know, is so afraid her boy Will never ask her, will she name the day He calls on her each night, and when she dims the light It's ten to one that you would hear her say
Oh Joseph, Joseph, won't you make your mind up It's time I knew just how I stand with you My heart's no clock that I can stop and wind up Each time we make up after being through
So listen Joseph, Joseph time is fleeting And here and there my hair is turning grey My mother has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day
Oh Joseph, won't you name the day Oh Joseph, won't you name the day Oh Joseph, won't you name the day Name the day, name the day
Oh Joseph, make your mind up It's time I knew just how I stand with you My heart's no clock that I can wind up Oh Joseph, each time we make up after being through
Oh Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, time is fleeting And here and there my hair is turning grey My mama has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear Oh Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day

I Have Come To Say Goodbye Composer(s): Andrew Carp
I have come to say good bye, Mary, darling For America, I sure must do my part Now be brave and do not cry, Mary, darling Though this parting almost breaks your heart I know you will be lonely, Mary darling I know that you will never cease to care My thoughts will ever be of you, dear When I'm in the trenches over there
'T Is for freedoms cause, this strife, Mary, darling For our liberty, On land and on the sea I would gladly give my life, Mary, darling Fighting for the world's democracy With conscience right I'm ready, Mary darling When duty calls a soldier must obey And if I am spared I'll return, dear Back to the good old U.S.A.
At evening I'll lie a-dreaming Dreaming of thee When o'er the sea In fancy I'll see you waiting Waiting at home, sweet home for me
