Pleure Pas Composer(s): Henri Contet; Aimé Barelli Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Pleure pas T'as les yeux trop beaux pour ça Pleure pas Ou bien moi, je pleure avec toi Pleure pas Mon pauvre grande, j'peux pas voir ça! Tais-toi T'as le cur qui m'éclate dans les bras Mon amour! Mon amour! Parle-moi! Raconte-moi! Et d'abord, à mon tour Tu vas voir, je pleure mieux que toi! Pleure pas T'as les yeux trop beaux pour ça Pleure pas Quand tu pleures, je suis sur ma croix Tu vois Tu me fais mal, et t'as pas le droit Pleure pas! Pleure pas! ...
Mon grand bonhomme, mais qu'est-ce qui se passe? Tu n'as pas le cur à la même place... Je le vois bien... Et si tu pleures, qu'est-ce que je vais faire? T'as du chagrin Mon Dieu! Misère! Et je n'y peux rien Pleure pas T'as les yeux trop beaux pour ça Pleure pas Souris-moi au moins une fois... une fois... Et après t'as tous les droits Voilà!... Tu as dit ce qu'il ne fallait pas... Mon amour! Mon amour! C'est donc ça... Tu ne m'aimes plus On n'avait qu'un amour Et ton cur l'a perdu Pleure pas On change tout Ça vient, ça va... Pleure pas Tu verras, tout s'arrangera Pourquoi? Mais pourquoi? Puisque tu vois... Je pleure pas, moi! Je pleure pas...
Smile As You Go By Composer(s): Paul Craft Performer(s): Dickey Lee
If you can't love me till forever I'd never hold you and I won't cry Leave me gently when it's over if you can't stop smile as you go by I could love you like I found you with the sunshine in your eyes I'd never wrap out the dreams around you if you can't stop smile as you go by If it's forever let me feeling if it's not and still you're satified Treat me gently when it's over if you can't stop smile as you go by
Djambo Djambo
First performance by: Peter, Sue & Marc - 1976
The birds have known the old man for many years
His eyes have seen so much and look so mild
He's up at four and early every morning
He feeds them and feels happy like a child
Once he was a clown in the arena
People said the best that ever was
Now they call him good old Djambo Djambo
But in his dreams, he still hears the applause
Hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey... Djambo Djambo
Don't be sad, for you know that the show must go on
Hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey... Djambo Djambo
It was you who had us laughing - you're the one
And sometimes you can see him on the sidewalk
With little boys and girls around his feets
When Djambo Djambo plays his barrel organ
Children call it 'circus in the streets'
Suddenly his eyes reflect emotion
In Djambo's mind, the limelight shines again
He's back on stage and all the kids are laughing
Just as if the show would never end
Hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey... Djambo Djambo
Don't be sad, for you know that the show must go on
Hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey... Djambo Djambo
It was you who had us laughing - you're the one
Hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey... Djambo Djambo
Don't be sad, for you know that the show must go on
Hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey... Djambo Djambo
It was you who had us laughing - you're the one
It was you who had us laughing - you're the one
Smile A Little Smile For Me Composer(s): Geoff Stephens; Tony Macaulay The Flying Machine

Oh, come on Smile a little smile ...........

Smile Composer(s): W. Theunissen Performer(s): Pussycat
There were days I couldn't weep, nights I couldn't sleep An' everything I did just turned out wrong Till there was you to dry my tears, whisper love words in my ears And this is why I'm glad you came along
Now there's a smile to cheer me up when I'm lonely That I can call whenever I'm feeling down Smile and you know that I'm only Longin' for the minute you'll be around
Help me 'cause I'm tryin' to get over The way I thought of love many times before If ever you should go away, an' nobody else could be near There's always a smile to remember that you were here
If I could fly away to a bright blue summer day Trying to share my love with you for evermore Darling, you make my life complete, you're everything I need I'll never be the same I was before
(Now there's a smile) There's a smile to cheer me up (To cheer me up when I'm lonely) When I'm lonely That I can call whenever I'm feelin' down Smile your smile and Darlin' you know That I'm only longin' for the minute you'll be around
Help me 'cause I'm tryin' to get over The way I thought of love many times before If ever you should go away, an' nobody else could be near There's always a smile to remember that you were here
There's always a smile to remember that you were here
There's always a smile to remember that you were here

Titles In Other Languages: 1955 - Ton Sourire Est Dans Mon Cur 1983 - Femme 2008 - Se Mai Ti Parlassero Di Me
Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile
Please Tell Me Why Composer(s): Dave Clark; Mike Smith Performer(s): The Dave Clark Five; The Gants
I don't know why she won't love me Lord, please tell me why Maybe it's that she don't love me Don't count on it please, she's shy
If she's shy then I'll understand I'll make the first move and hold her hand But if I'm wrong then I'll be mad La-da-da-da-da
I've been tryin' oh so hard But she don't seem to notice I sit next to her in class But she can't see my motive
Do you think she has a boy If she has then I'm done 'Cause if he catches me with her I think I'll have to run
If she's passive she'll understand I'll value my love but not in her hands But if I'm wrong then I'll be mad La-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da

J'ai ton sourire dans mon coeur C'est ma petite fleur de bonheur Quand tu souris, j'ai le ciel dans ma vie Ton sourire c'est l'étoile du matin C'est mon ami, mon copain Et je lui dis cent fois merci, merci
Quand une rose fleurit C'est qu'en passant tu souris Tu es soleil et l'eau vive et le miel Souris-moi, mon amour, souris-moi Tout s'illumine par toi Ma route est bleue sous le ciel gris Quand tu souris
J'ai ton sourire dans mon coeur C'est ma petite fleur de bonheur Ma fleur d'amour, ma cocarde Un beau jour tu souris et la vie te répond Tout s'éparpille en chansons Je les écoute et je te dis Merci, merci
Please Stay Composer(s): Bob Hilliard; Burt Bacharach Performer(s): The Drifters
Don't go (Please stay) Don't go (Please stay)
If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you Not to go but to stay in my ar-arms Would you walk out the door like you did once before? Or would this time be different, would you sta-a-ay?
Don't go (Please stay) Don't go
If I called out your name like a prayer in the night Would you leave me alone with my tears? Knowing I-I, I love you so-o, would you still turn and go? Or would this time be different in some wa-a-ay?
Don't go (Please stay) (Please stay)
You took me away from the rest of the world When you taught me to love you like this Now I hang by a thread in the canyon of doom But I still can be saved ... by your kiss
If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you Not to go but to stay in my ar-arms Would you walk out the door like you did once before? Or would this time be different, would you sta-a-ay?

Please Send Me Someone To Love Composer(s): Percy Mayfield Performer(s): Percy Mayfield; and various other artists
Heaven please send to all mankind Understanding and peace of mind But, if it's not asking too much Please send me someone to love
Show all the world how to get along Peace will enter when hate is gone But, if it's not asking too much Please send me someone to love
I lay awake night and ponder world troubles My answer is always the same That unless men put an end to all of this Hate will put the world in a flame, (oh) what a shame Just because I'm in misery I'm not begging for no sympathy But if it's not asking too much Just send me someone to love

Learn to love me or leave me, either one you wanna do Learn to love me or leave me, either one you wanna do Because strange things are happenin', babe, an' somethin' might happen to you

Please Search The Book Again Composer(s): Jerry Goff Performer(s): Greg Watson
I dreamed that I had died and gone to heaven I stood just outside the eastern gate The Man from within said, "Have you been born again And is your name written in the Book of Life?"
Chorus: Please search the book again; I thought my name was there! I went to church on Sunday, tho' I never knelt in prayer Please search the book again; it's too late now, I know Please search the book again before you make me go!
I told Him all the deeds that I had done I told Him all the trophies I had won But the Man said to me, "Have you been set free And is your name written in the Book of Life?"
Chorus
And then He turned and left me standing there I knew it was too late now for prayer Oh, my sinner friend, if you want to make it in Your name must be in the Book of Life
