Mein Schönster Tag
Composer(s): W. Jenkins; H. Evans; H.U. Weigel
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Ich seh' hinaus
Auf die schlafenden Strassen
Die Lichter gehen aus
Vorbei ist die Nacht
Ich denk' an Dich
Und mein Herz schlägt schneller
Schon wird es Morgen
Die Sonne erwacht

Der schönste Tag
In meinem Leben
Der fängt für mich
So wunderbar an
Meiner schönster Tag
Ist wie ein Märchen
Und du bist hier
Für immer bei mir

Heut' will ich dir
Für immer gehören
Seit vielen Stunden
Denk' ich nur daran
Von diesem Tag
Träumt jedes Mädchen
Mein schönster Tag
Ist Wirklichkeit

Oh, so viele Menschen
Wünschen uns beiden
Liebe und Glück
Für alle Zeit
Der schönste Tag
In meinem Leben...

Once In A While
Composer(s): Michael Edwards; Bud Green
Performer(s): The Chimes;
and various other artists



Once in a while won't you try to give one little thought to me
Though someone else may be nearer your heart

Once in a while won't you dream of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two drifted apart

In love's smouldering ember one spark may remain
If love can remember that spark may burn again

I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's memories
Knowing you think of me once in a while

10,000 Miles
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Mary Chapin Carpenter
and multiple other artists



Fare thee well
My own true love
Farewell for a while
I’m going away
But I’ll be back
Though I go 10,000 miles

10,000 miles
My own true love
10,000 miles or more
The rocks may melt
And the seas may burn
If I should not return

Oh don’t you see
That lonesome dove
Sitting on an ivy tree
She’s weeping for
Her own true love
As I shall weep for mine

Oh come ye back
My own true love
And stay a while with me
If I had a friend
All on this earth
You’ve been a friend to me

Les Jeunes Imbéciles
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Ils ont troqué leur col Mao
Contre un joli costume trois-pièces
Ils ont troqué leurs idéaux
Contre un petit attaché-case
Citoyens de Paris ma ville
La plage est loin sous les pavés
Vivez en paix dormez tranquilles
Le monde n'est plus à changer

Ce n'était alors que jeunes imbéciles
Le poil au menton
Ce n'était alors que jeunes imbéciles
Les voilà vieux cons

Ils ont troqué leur col Mao
Pour une tenue plus libérale
Le vieux slogan du père Guizot
Est devenu leur idéal
Nos soixante-huitards en colère
Reprennent un refrain peu banal
C'est enrichissez-vous mes frères
En guise d'Internationale

Ce n'était alors que jeunes imbéciles
Le poil au menton
Ce n'était alors que jeunes imbéciles
Les voilà vieux cons

Ils ont troqué leur col Mao
Et leur vieux look égalitaire
Pour un costume plus rigolo
C'est la chasuble humanitaire
Ils font la quête avec délice
Chez ceux qu'ont plus rien à donner
Et pour établir la justice
S'en remettent à la charité

Ce n'était alors que jeunes imbéciles
Le poil au menton
Ce n'était alors que jeunes imbéciles
Les voilà vieux cons

Ils ont troqué leur col Mao
Pour des tenues plus officielles
Depuis qu'ils fréquentent à gogo
Les cabinets ministériels
Ah quel plaisir en redingote
Sur le perron de l'Elysée
De se faire lécher les bottes
Par des journalistes avisés

C'est toujours avec les jeunes imbéciles
Qu'on le veuille ou non
C'est toujours avec les jeunes imbéciles
Qu'on fait les vieux cons

Mein Lieber Herr
Spanish Title: Mi Querido Señor
Composer(s): Chris Michaelessi; 
Lana Sebastian; Paul Sebastian
Performer(s): Dalida



Elle l'appelait Mein lieber herr
Dans une mansarde ou ils s'aimaient des nuits entière
Et dans ses yeux, elle revoyait
Sourire son père, chanter sa mère avant la guerre
Elle lui disait Mein Lieber herr
S'il devinait que c'est vous qui m'avez sauvé
Ne partez pas Mein Lieber herr
Vous voyez bien je n'ai plus rien que vous sur terre

Il répondait surtout n'écoute plus ta peur
Avec un peu d'espoir le monde sera meilleur

Aufwiedersehen lieber
Bientôt je reviendrai
De Berlin à Paris
La guerre sera fini
Les arbres seront en fleur
Les hommes auront du cœur
Je te le promets je reviendrais Aufwiedersehen lieber

Elle l'appelait Mein Lieber herr
Et leur histoire était la plus belle des victoires
Elle m'écoutait, Mein Lieber herr
Lui racontait tout ce qu'un jour ils allaient faire

Nous marcherons dans toutes les rues illuminées
Nous dînerons sur les terrasses d'un café

Aufwiedersehen lieber
Bientôt je reviendrai
De Berlin à Paris
La guerre sera fini
Les arbres seront en fleur
Les hommes auront du cœur
Je te le promets je reviendrais Aufwiedersehen lieber

Elle l'attendait Mein Lieber herr
Jour après jour dans le silence des bruits d'enfer
Elle s'inventait
Des nuits d'hivers
Au coin d'un feu libre et heureux après là...

"Elle n'appelle plus Mein Lieber
herr 30 ans après une veille
enfant aux yeux d'hiver ne parle plus, ne sais même plus qu'il
y est eu une guerre"

Mais certains soirs lorsqu'elle retrouve sa mémoire
Ses yeux s'allume soudain elle raconte son histoire

Aufwiedersehen lieber
Bientôt je reviendrai
De Berlin à Paris
La guerre sera fini
Les arbres seront en fleur
Les hommes auront du cœur
Je te le promets je reviendrais Aufwiedersehen lieber
Aufwiedersehen lieber
Bientôt je reviendrai
De Berlin à Paris
La guerre sera fini

La la la...
De Berlin à Paris
La guerre sera fini
Aufwiedersehen lieber
Bientôt je reviendrai
De Berlin à Paris
La guerre sera fini...

Once In A While
Composer(s): Richard O'Brien
Performer(s): Barry Bostwick;
and various other artists



Brad:
Once in a while, she don't want to call you
Speaking on the telephone
And once in your life, she won't want to know you
You look around
The one you've found, she is gone

And that's all the time that it takes
For a heart to turn to stone
The sweeter the wine
The harder to make the break
You hear something about someone
You'd thought you'd known

So baby don't cry like there's no tomorrow
After the night there's a brand new day
And there'll be no pain, and no more sorrow
So wash your face
And phone my place, it'll be okay

And that's all the time that it takes
For a heart to beat again
So give me a sign
That a lover makes
You look around
The one you've found is back again

10:15
Saturday night
And the tap drips
Under the strip light
And I'm sitting
In the kitchen sink
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip...

Waiting
For the telephone to ring
And I'm wondering
Where she's been
And I'm crying for yesterday
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip...

It's always the same...

Linda On My Mind
((French Version: Les Larmes De Belinda (by Johnny Hallyday))
Composer(s): Conway Twitty
Performer(s): Conway Twitty



Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind
And Lord it's killing me to see her crying
She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind

Yes I know that I once loved her
And I placed no one above her
And I never thought I'd ever set her free
But it just wasn't in my plan
The way Linda squeezed my hand
The first time that I held her close as she danced with me

She said I've loved you for a long time
But you're married to a friend of mine
And I tried hard to never let it show
But my love for you is stronger
I can't hide it any longer
And so I thought I'd better let you know

Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind
And Lord it's killing me to see her crying
She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind ...

Dein letzter Brief kam heute früh
Du schreibst du bist auf deinem Weg
Zu einem unbekannten Ziel
Wohin der Wind dich gerade weht
Du sagst du folgst der Sonne nach
Doch bist du sicher was du tust
Nach allem was du je gesagt
Ist das die Straße die du suchst

Doch wohin du auch gehst
Mein Herz hat noch Platz für dich
Da ist niemand in deiner Welt
Der dich liebt wie ich
Und wie weit der Weg dich auch führt
Dort am Horizont
Dieses Herz hat noch Platz für dich
Wenn du wiederkommst

Auch wenn du schreibst du bist bei mir
Wenn du auf fremden Wolken fliegst
Weiß ich dein Herz ist nicht mehr hier
Nur mit dem Land durch das du ziehst
Jeder Weg hat auch ein Ziel
Und sei es nur im Niemandsland
Verlierer gibt's in jedem Spiel
Und Träume sterben irgendwann

Doch wohin du auch gehst
Mein Herz hat noch Platz für dich
Da ist niemand in deiner Welt
Der dich liebt wie ich
Und wie weit der Weg dich auch führt
Dort am Horizont
Dieses Herz hat noch Platz für dich
Wenn du wiederkommst

In tausend Tagen oder mehr
Wenn du die Ozeane kennst
Kommst du vielleicht zurück zu mir
Weil deine Sonne nicht mehr brennt

La la la lala la la la
Lala la la la
La la la lala la la la
Lala la la la

Da ist niemand in deiner Welt
Der dich liebt wie ich
Auch wenn Jahre vergeh'n
Mein Herz hat noch Platz für dich

I found your letter in my mailbox today
You were just checkin' if I was okay
And if I miss you, well, you know what they say ... 
just once ... in a very blue moon 
just once in a very blue moon 
just once ... in a very blue moon 
and I feel one comin' on soon 

No need to tell me, you'd like to be friends
and help me get back on my feet again
If I miss you at all ... it's just now and then 
just once ... in a very blue moon 
just once in a very blue moon 
just once ... in a very blue moon 
and I feel one comin' on soon 

There's a blue moon shinin'
when I am reminded of all we've been through
Such a blue moon ... shinin'
Does it ever shine down on you?

You act as if it never hurt you at all
Like I'm the only one who's gettin' up from a fall
Don't you remember?
Can't you recall? 
just once ... in a very blue moon 
just once in a very blue moon 
just once ... in a very blue moon 
and I feel one comin' on soon ... just once ... in a very ... blue moon

Sing a song of gladness and cheer
For the time of Christmas is here
Look around about you and see
What a world of wonder

You have to understand the way I am, mein Herr
A tiger is a tiger, not a lamb, mein Herr
You'll never turn the vinegar to jam, mein Herr
So I do, what I do 
When I'm through, then I'm through
And I'm through, toodle oo

Bye bye mein lieber Herr, farewell mein lieber Herr
It was a fine affair, but now it's over
And though I used to care, I need the open air
You're better off without me mein Herr

Don't dab your eye, mein Herr, or wonder why mein Herr
I've always said that I was a rover
You mustn't knit your brow
You should have known by now 
You'd every cause to doubt me mein Herr

The continent of Europe is so wide, mein Herr
Not only up and down, but side to side, mein Herr
I couldn't ever cross it if I tried, mein Herr
But I do what I can, inch by inch, step by step, mile by mile
Man by man

Bye bye mein Herr
Bye bye mein lieber Herr
Auf wiedersehen, mein Herr
Es war sehr gut, mein Herr, und vorbei
Du kennst mich wohl, mein Herr
Ach, lebe wohl, mein Herr
Du sollst mich nie mehr sehen mein Herr

Bye bye mein lieber Herr
Farewell mein lieber Herr
It was a fine affair, but now it's over
And though I used to care, I need the open air
You're better off without me
You'll get on without me, mein Herr

First release by: Talking Heads - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
wife
And you may ask yourself
Well...
How did I get here?
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
My God!...
What Have I Done?
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was... 

A Christmas Carol
Composer(s): Tom Lehrer
Performer(s): Tom Lehrer

Christmas time is here, by golly
Disapproval would be folly
Deck the halls with hunks of holly
Fill the cup and don't say when

Kill the turkeys, ducks and chickens
Mix the punch, drag out the Dickens
Even though the prospect sickens
Brother, here we go again

On Christmas Day you can't get sore
Your fellow man you must adore
There's time to rob him all the more
The other three hundred and sixty-four

Relations, sparing no expense
'll Send some useless old utensil
Or a matching pen and pencil
("Just the thing I need, how nice!")

It doesn't matter how sincere it is
Nor how heartfelt the spirit
Sentiment will not endear it
What's important is the price

Hark, the Herald Tribune sings
Advertising wondrous things
God rest ye merry merchants
May ye make the Yuletide pay
Angels we have heard on high
Tell us to go out and buy!

So, let the raucous sleighbells jingle
Hail our dear old friend Kris Kringle
Driving his reindeer across the sky
Don't stand underneath when they fly by

Just once in a lifetime
A man knows a moment
One wonderful moment
When fate takes his hand
And this is my moment
My once in a lifetime
When I can explore a new and exciting land

For once in my lifetime
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As though I had wings
For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And though it may be just once in my lifetime
I'm gonna do great things

And this is my moment
My once in a lifetime
When I can explore a new and exciting land

For once in my lifetime
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As though I had wings
For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And though it may be just once in my lifetime
I'm gonna do great things

A Christmas Dream
Performer(s): Nathan Tinkham




As I was drifting off to sleep
On this Christmas eve
My thoughts turned to looking back
At how this came to be
Long ago and far away
On a night so clear
It was such a simple thing
To echo through the years

Mary rock your baby boy
As he softly cries
There will be a world of tears
Shed for him bye and bye
Soon there will be peace and hope
For all the world to know
All because a child was born
Two thousand years ago

An angel brought his tidings
Not to priests and kings
But to shepherds in their fields
Afraid and trembling
And standing in the manger
How were they to know
How the world would change around
This babe in swaddling clothes

Mary rock your baby boy
As he softly cries
There will be a world of tears
Shed for him bye and bye
Now there can be peace and hope
For all the world to know
All because a child was born
Two thousand years ago

Meia-Noite
Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Edú Lobo
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Se a noite não tem fundo
O mar perde o valor
Opaco é o fim do mundo
Pra qualquer navegador
Que perde o oriente
E entra em espirais
E topa pela frente
Um contingente
Que ele já deixou pra trás

Os soluços dobram tão iguais
Seus rivais, seus irmãos
Seu navio carregado de ideais
Que foram escorrendo feito grãos
As estrelas que não voltam nunca mais
E um oceano pra lavar as mãos

Once I Was
Composer(s): Larry Beckett; Tim Buckley
Performer(s): Tim Buckley; Eric Andersen; Tram



Once I was a soldier 
And I fought on foreign sands for you 
Once I was a hunter 
And I brought home fresh meat for you 
Once I was a lover 
And I searched behind your eyes for you 
And soon there'll be another 
To tell you I was just a lie 

And sometimes I wonder 
Just for a while 
Will you remember me 

And though you have forgotten 
All of our rubbish dreams 
I find myself searching 
Through the ashes of our ruins 
For the days when we smiled 
And the hours that ran wild 
With the magic of our eyes 
And the silence of our words 

And sometimes I wonder 
Just for a while 
Will you remember me

A Christmas Letter
Composer(s): Gene Nelson - John Greenebaum - Paul Nelson
Performer(s): Reba McEntire



At an antique desk an old man sits alone
Oh, it's Christmas Eve and it's almost time to go
He signs his name to a letter he just wrote
Then he reads it back with a voice as soft as snow

I want peace on Earth for Christmas
In a world where there's not one hungry child
A day when hope and faith conquers fear and hate
All I'm asking for is a little more love

Then he walks outside and climbs upon his sleigh
And calls out to his reindeer, then off they fly away
Oh, tonight he'll make a million dreams appear
While he wishes that his own dreams could come true this year

I want peace on Earth for Christmas
In a world where there's not one hungry child
A day when hope and faith conquers fear and hate
All I'm asking for is a little more love

A day when hope and faith just conquers fear and hate
All I'm asking for is a little more love
