So In Love Composer(s): Cole Porter First performance by: Patricia Morison - 1948 First recording/First release by: Tommy Dorsey - 1948/1949 Covered by multiple other artists
Strange dear, but true, dear When I'm close to you, dear The stars fill the sky So in love with you am I
Even without you My arms fold about you You know, darling, why So in love with you am I
In love with the night mysterious The night when you first were there In love with my joy delirious When I knew that you could care
So taunt me and hurt me Deceive me, desert me I'm yours 'til I die So in love So in love So in love with you, my love, am I
So In Love Composer(s): Stephen Hague - Paul Humphreys - Andy McCluskey First release by: Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - 1985 Covered by multiple other artists
Talk to me, don't lie to me Save your breath Don't look at me, don't smile at me Just close your eyes I was so impressed by you I was running blind I would fall for every trick Every twist of mind
Heaven is cold Without any soul It's hard to believe I was so in love with you
Don't say your prayers, don't build your hopes Just walk away Don't phone me up, don't call around Don't waste your time You were so in awe of me You were so divine You would do just anything To still be mine
Heaven is cold Without any soul It's hard to believe I was so in love with you
All the things you said to me I was so obsessed You were always talking talking God I did my best
Heaven is cold Without any soul It's hard to believe I was so in love with you ...

Hey, kom je mee Blijf je hier bij mij vannacht 'k heb oh... zo lang op jou gewacht Hey, weet je wel 't is nu tijd voor 't grote spel Jij wordt nu mijn pantofelheld Jij neemt me in je armen En je draagt me in ons huis Ik zal altijd heel lief voor je zijn Zou dat niet heerlijk zijn voor jou en mij Zo'n heel klein huisje voor ons allebei Waarin we heel gelukkig zouden zijn En als je 's avonds na je werk verschijnt Dan roep ik Hey hey na na na na na na na na...

Jij neemt me in je armen En je draagt me in ons huis Zo zie je maar Zo komt alles voor mekaar Wij worden samen nu een paar Ik zorg voor jou Net zoals jij zorgt voor mij En ons geluk gaat nooit voorbij Jij neemt me in je armen En je draagt me in ons huis Ik zal altijd heel lief voor je zijn Zou dat niet heerlijk zijn voor jou en mij Zo'n heel klein huisje voor ons allebei Waarin we heel gelukkig zouden zijn En als je 's avonds na je werk verschijnt Dan roep ik Hey hey na na na na na na na na...

So I Wrote You A Song Composer(s): Bob Seger Performer(s): Bob Seger
I woke up with this feeling There was something I wanted to say So I wrote you a song
Lately girl I've been dreamin' Dreamin' 'bout you all through the day So I wrote you a song
Hope the words will be right When I see you tonight You'll know how I feel I'm no longer alone Think I've found me a home And I think it's real
I woke up with this feeling Haven't felt it for quite some time So I wrote you a song
All these thoughts I've been dreaming Somehow I've got to make them right Got to make them belong Everytime that you're here Everytime that you're near Everything is real I'm no longer alone Think I've found me a home And I think it's real So I wrote you a song
Pose Ta Joue Sur Mon Épaule Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Jairo
Pose ta joue sur mon épaule Ferme les yeux Qu'un peu d'éternité nous frôle Soyons heureux, tous les deux
Chasse tes soucis, tes problèmes Autour de nous, le monde est fou Il change et je reste le même Viens te noyer dans mes "je t'aime" Qui t'offrent tout
Pose ta joue sur mon épaule Avec douceur Que la tendresse joue son rôle Comblant ton coeur et mon coeur
Quand le bonheur t'offre une chance Mets ton destin entre mes mains Un simple geste et tout commence Je fleurirai ton existence Tes lendemains
Viens contre moi Et imagine Ces voies divines S'ouvrant à toi Ces paradis aux fleurs étranges Dont le seul ange Sera toi et moi
Loin des gens et toutes choses Le coeur en feu Rideaux tirés et portes closes Rêvons un peu, si tu veux Que l'amour prenne contrôle Pour te donner l'éternité Pose ta joue sur mon épaule Pose ta joue sur mon épaule
Je Suis L'enfant-Soleil Composer(s): Eddy Marnay; Hubert Giraud First performance by: Anne-Marie David - 1979
Il est arrivé du nord, et moi j'étais une enfant-soleil Il a dit des mots plus forts et plus doux que le coton du ciel Il a partagé le pain et mon père lui a donné un lit "Tu commenceras demain, près du chêne gris"
Je n'ai pas rêvé de lui, je ne dormais pas Etendue au pied du chêne gris, je guettais son pas Et tout un hiver brûlant, notre amour a fait chanter la terre Comme un recommencement, comme une prière
Il était un homme-neige et moi j'étais une enfant-soleil Le printemps sur son manège déroulait pour nous ses arcs-en-ciel S'il avait voulu partir, je n'aurais même pas su pleurer J'aurais gardé le sourire qu'il m'avait donné
Quand des hommes sont venus, je n'ai pas compris Au-devant de moi il a couru, vers le chêne gris Mais sans qu'il ait rien pu faire, le piège s'était fermé sur lui Ils ont remercié mon père, puis ils sont partis
Il est retourné au nord, et moi j'étais une enfant-soleil Il avait ses mains dehors et sur son dos le coton du ciel Il a partagé le pain, et mon père lui a donné un lit Ce jour-là me paraît loin, près du chêne gris
Hé, reviens, je suis l'enfant-soleil Hé, reviens, je suis l'enfant-soleil Soleil, soleil

So Hard To Give It All Up Composer(s): Hoyt Axton Performer(s): Hoyt Axton
So hard to give it all up when you have what you want So hard to realize you've been a fool again Sometimes when you take what you want you lose what you love So hard to realize I'm losing you again
Up on the mountain is a motherless son Sometimes he howls just like a wolf on the run We're all just children and we're lost in the woods The woman I love tells me she's misunderstood
And I say so hard to give it all up...
She knew she had me by the look in my eyes She had the power she could sure hypnotize I had been living in a fanciful dream My heart was broken worse than you've ever seen
Portofino Composer(s): Mark Spiro; Jack White Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck; Glen Agritelley; Tony Fontaine
Long ago I used to know where love was found A place in the sun Long before this heart of mine had broken down You were the one But now you're a lonely memory My heartache will never end Though all of those nights are far away I wish I were with you again
Portofino I still remember the sun in your hair Portofino marriage to music that danced in the air Portofino I want you back in my arms 'Cause every time I close my eyes I'm holding you in the dark In Portofino where you broke my heart
I think of your face and still it can take my breath away After so long And though I'll be lonely living for only yesterday I'll get along though now you're a faded memory My heartache will never end This unforgotten melody keeps playing over and over again
Portofino I still remember the sun in your hair Portofino marriage to music that danced in the air Portofino I want you back in my arms 'Cause every time I close my eyes I'm holding you in the dark In Portofino where you broke my heart In Portofino where you broke my heart
The British Soldier Composer(s): Harvey Andrews Performer(s): Harvey Andrews
In a station in the city, a British soldier stood Talking to the people there, if the people would Some just stared in hatred, and others turned in pain And the lonely British soldier wished he was back home again
'Come join the British Army' said the posters in his town See the world and have your fun, come serve before the Crown The jobs were hard to come by and he could not face the dole So he took his country's shilling and enlisted on the roll
For there was no fear of fighting, the Empire long was lost Just ten years in the army, getting paid for being bossed Then leave a man experienced, a man who's made the grade A medal and a pension, some mem'ries and a trade
Then came the call for Ireland as the call had come before Another bloody chapter in an endless civil war The priests they stood on both sides, the priests they stood behind Another fight in Jesus's name, the blind against the blind
The soldier stood between them, between the whistling stones And then the broken bottles that led to broken bones The petrol bombs that burnt his hands, the nails that pierced his skin And wished that he had stayed at home surrounded by his kin
The station filled with people, the soldier soon was bored But better in the station than where the people warred The room filled up with mothers, with daughters and with sons Who stared with itchy fingers at the soldier and his gun
A yell of fear, a screech of brakes, the shattering of glass The window of the station broke to let the package pass A scream came from the mothers as they ran towards the door Dragging their children crying from the bomb upon the floor
The soldier stood and could not move, his gun he could not use He knew the bomb had seconds and not minutes on the fuse He could not run and pick it up and throw it in the street There were far too many people there, too many running feet
"Take cover," yelled the soldier, "Take cover for your lives" And the Irishmen threw down their young and stood before their wives They turned towards the soldier, their eyes alive with fear For God's sake save our children or they'll end their short lives here
The soldier moved towards the bomb, his stomach like a stone Why was this his battle, God, why was he alone He lay down on the package and he murmured one farewell To those at home in England, to those he loved so well
He saw the sights of summer, felt the wind upon his brow The young girls in the city parks, how precious were they now The soaring of the swallow, the beauty of the swan The music of the turning world, so soon would it be gone
A muffled soft explosion and the room began to quake The soldier blown across the floor, his blood a crimson lake There was no time to cry or shout, there was no time to moan And they turned their children's faces from the blood and from the bones
The crowd outside soon gathered and the ambulances came To carry off the body of a pawn lost in the game And the crowd they clapped and cheered and they sang their rebel song One soldier less to interfere where he did not belong
And will the children growing up learn at their mothers' knees The story of the soldier who bought their liberty Who used his youthful body as a means towards an end Who gave his life to those who called him murderer not friend
Porterville Composer(s): John Fogerty Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival
It's been an awful long time since I been home But you won't catch me goin' back down there alone Things they said when I was young are quite enough to get me hung I don't care! I don't care!
They came and took my Dad away to serve some time But it was me that paid the debt he left behind Folks said I was full of sin, because I was the next of kin I don't care! I don't care!
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo! I don't care! I don't care!
Folks were out one night to put me up a fence And you can guess that I've been runnin' ever since Ain't no one that's 'bout to help, and I'll keep on, I tell myself I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care! I don't care! I don't care!
Ain't no one that's 'bout to help And I'll keep on, I tell myself I don't care! I don't care! I don't care! I don't care! I don't care! I don't care! I don't care! I don't care! I don't care! I don't care!
