I may be wrong but I think you're wonderful I may be wrong but I think you're swell I like your style say, I think it's marvellous I'm always wrong so how can I tell Deuces to me are all aces Life is to me just a bore Faces are all open spaces You might be John Barrymore You came along say I think you're wonderful I think you're grand but I may be wrong

Just One Smile Composer(s): Randy Newman Performer(s): Gene Pitney; and various other artists
Can't I cry a little bit? There's nobody to notice it Can't I cry if I want to? No-one cares
Why can't I pretend That you'll love me again? All I had has been taken from me Now I cry tears that never become me
Just one smile means forgiving Just one kiss, the hurt's all gone Just one smile to make my life worth living A little dream to build my world upon
How I wish I could say All the things I want to say If some way, you could see what's in my heart Oh, baby
I don't ask for much A look, a smile, a touch Try to forget Lord knows, I'm trying It's so hard to forget When your whole world you know is dying
Just one smile means forgiving Just one kiss, the hurt's all gone Just one smile to make my life worth living A little dream to build my world upon
Just one smile please forgiving Just one kiss, hurt's all gone Just one smile to make my life worth living A little dream to build my world upon Just one smile
Traffic Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Traffic vertu J'aime ou je tue Magique exclu Hors de ma vue Je t'aime encore J'envoie d'abord Le cri des villes Sur du vinyle
Taxi driver Nud de vipères Flic solitaire Tombé par terre Amour porno Chacun sa peau Je vends du spleen Tu vends du jean
Lentement je vois Cet univers-là Glisser vers le froid Le compte à rebours Dans l'air nucléaire Les derniers rebelles Brûlent sous les lasers Du manque d'amour
Que veux-tu que je sois Dans cette société-là? Un ange ou un cobra Un tueur ou un rat? Où veux-tu que je vive Dans la radioactive? Comment veux-tu que je meure D'un bel accord mineur?
Plastic de choc Crédit ou cash Plus on se cache Plus on décroche Je suis accroc Chez les dingos Milliards de flash Qui jouent au squash
Regarde-toi Regarde-moi On n'se voit plus On est perdus Dans le vacarme Du bruit qui court Je t'ai menti Je t'aime encore
Lentement je vois Cet univers-là Glisser vers le froid Le compte à rebours Dans l'air nucléaire Les derniers rebelles Brûlent sous les lasers Du manque d'amour
Que veux-tu que je sois Dans cette société-là? Un ange ou un cobra Un tueur ou un rat? Où veux-tu que je vive Dans la radioactive? Comment veux-tu que je meure D'un bel accord mineur?

Será arte?
I Made It Through The Rain Composer(s): Gerard W. Kenny; Drey Shepperd Performer(s): Barry Manilow and multiple other artists
We dreamers have our ways Of facing rainy days And somehow we survive We keep our feelings warm Protect them from the storm Until our time arrives Then one day the sun appears And we come shining through Those lonely years
I made it through the rain I kept my world protected I made it through the rain I kept my point of view I made it through the rain And found myself respected By the others who Got rained on too And made it through
When friends are hard to find And life seems so unkind Sometimes you feel afraid Just aim beyond the clouds And rise above the crowds And start your own parade 'Cause when I chased my fears away That's when I knew I could finally say...
I made it through the rain I kept my world protected I made it through the rain I kept my point of view I made it through the rain And found myself respected By the others who Got rained on too And made it through
A true musician plays Through all the rainy days And every song survives He takes the stage by storm And keeps the music warm Until his luck arrives And then a melody appears Taking him past Those weather beaten years...
I made it through the rain I kept my world protected I made it through the rain I kept my point of view I made it through the rain And found myself respected By the others who Got rained on too And made it through
No matter how it rains A singer entertains And music must be made Before you draw the crowd Your pour your heart out loud And start your own parade Then you play the clouds away Waiting until you hear Your music say...
Then you play the clouds away Waiting until you hear Your music say...
I made it through the rain I kept my world protected I made it through the rain I kept my point of view I made it through the rain And found myself respected By the others who Got rained on too And made it through
I Lupi Attorno A Noi
((French Version: Le Temps Des Loups (by Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz - Giancotto
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Se guarderai io sono qui, non vivo più
Cammino, ma non so perché
Senza di te, che senso ha
Per te strangolerò la rabbia
Per te io fermerò la pioggia
E i lupi poi cancellero
Ascolta un po'
Un cuore che ha pianto te
In mezzo a mille cose che
Cambiando poi, mi lascian qui
Per te io scorso la violenza
Per te reinventerò l'infanzia
Che i lupi sa ammestrar
Vorrei in fondo agli occhi tuoi
Scordar le pene
Spezzar con i capelli tuoi
Le mie catene
Vedere che per l'amore che tu hai
Da oggi in poi scompare
Chi non sa amar
Stringiti a me
Valgo soltanto quel che sai
Le unghie e i denti anch'io li ho
Ma i sogni miei non son così
Per te soltanto tenerezza
Per te la nostra debolezza
I lupi poi sconfiggerà
Così cammino
Senza di te verso l'abisso
Lo sai, sarei
Senza di te meno che niente
Ritorna qui e con te, con l'amor
Cancellerò i lupi attorno a noi
Vieni con me, candidamente
Crederò che nei segreti del tuo cuor
Un mondo arriva e l'altro va
Per te la fede più profonda
Lo sai, mi porta nel tuo mondo
Dove vedrai non i saranno più
I lupi ormai

Just One More Chance Composer(s): Sam Coslow; Arthur Johnston Performer(s): Bing Crosby; and various other artists
We spend our lives groping for happiness I found it once but tossed it aside I paid for it with hours of loneliness I've nothing to hide, I'd bury my pride for
Just one more chance To prove it's you alone I care for Each night I say a little prayer for Just one more chance
Just one more night To taste the kisses that enchant me I'd want no others if you'd grant me Just one more chance
I've learned the meaning of repentance Now you're the jury at my trial I know that I should serve my sentence Still I'm hoping all the while you'll give me
Just one more word I said that I was glad to start out But now I'm back to cry my heart out For just one more chance
Track Track Composer(s): Fito Páez Performer(s): Fito Páez; Os Paralamas do Sucesso
No se pasa el tiempo Al menos para mí ya tome pastillas Y sigo sin dormir Miro a los costados y nada que amarrar Ya no existen lazos Alguien hizo trac, trac, trac
Todos los perfumes, todo aquel lugar Todas las miserias y toda la verdad Cada movimiento del sol en la pared Cada mueble viejo, cada anochecer Eh, eh, eh
Dame tu amor, sólo tu amor Dame tu amor, sólo tu amor
Pocas garantías hay para los dos Nada en este mundo tiene algún valor Todo el vecindario puede proceder Yo soy sospechoso como vos y él
Vino todo el mundo, la radio y la TV Vino el comisario, los ángeles también Todos quieren algo, sangre o no se qué Y todo el universo sigue intacto como ayer
Dame tu amor, sólo tu amor Dame tu amor, sólo tu amor

Just One More Composer(s): George Jones Performer(s): George Jones; and various other artists
Put the Bottle on the table Let it stay there till I'm not able To see her face in ev'ry place that I go I've been sitting here so long
Just remembering that you are gone Well, one more drink of wine Then if shes still on my mind One drink, Just One More, and then another
I'll keep drinking, it won't matter I'll just remember that I once had her I don't know why I sit and cry ev'ry day
I've been trying to forget, but I havent stopped as yet Well, one more drink of wine Then if shes still on my mind One drink, just one more, and then another
So, put the bottle on the table Let it stay there till I'm not able To see her face in ev'ry place that I go I've been sitting here so long
Just remembering that she is gone Well, one more drink of wine Then if shes still on my mind One drink, just One More, and then another...
Traces Composer(s): Buddy Buie - James Cobb - Emory Gordy First release: Classics IV - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Faded photographs Covered now with lines and creases Tickets torn in half Memories in bits and pieces Traces of love long ago That didn't work out right Traces of love
Ribbons from her hair Souvenirs of days together The ring she used to wear Pages from an old love letter Traces of love long ago That didn't work out right Traces of love with me tonight
I close my eyes and say a prayer That in her heart she'll find A trace of love still there Somewhere, oh-oh-ooohhh
Traces of hope in the night That she'll come back and dry Theses traces of tears from my eyes Oh-oh-oh-ooohhh-oh-oh-oh, oh yeah
I Love You, Samantha Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Bing Crosby and multiple other artists

I love you, Samantha And my love will never die Remember, Samantha I'm a one-gal guy Together, Samantha We could ride a star and ride it high Remember, Samantha I'm a one-gal guy And if some distant day You decided to say "Get along, go away, goodbye!" Remember, Samantha I'm a one-gal guy Remember, Samantha I'm a one gal guy
