Seul sur le sable les yeux dans l'eau Mon rêve était trop beau L'été qui s'achève tu partiras A cent mille lieux de moi Comment oublier ton sourire Et tellement de souvenirs
Nos jeux dans les vagues près du quai Je n'ai vu le temps passer L'amour sur la plage désertée Nos corps brûlés enlacés Comment t'aimer si tu t'en vas Dans ton pays loin là-bas oua oua
Hélène things you do make me crazy bout you Pourquoi tu pars reste ici j'ai tant besoin d'une amie Hélène things you do make me crazy bout you Pourquoi tu pars si loin de moi La ou le vent te porte loin de mon cur qui bat
Hélène things you do make me crazy bout you Pourquoi tu pars reste ici reste encore juste une nuit
Seul sur le sable les yeux dans l'eau Mon rêve était trop beau L'été qui s'achève tu partiras A cent mille lieux de moi Comment t'aimer si tu t'en vas Dans ton pays loin là-bas Dans ton pays loin là-bas oua oua oua da ba da Dans ton pays loin de moi
Have You Seen Her? Composer(s): Barbara Acklin; Eugene Record Performer(s): The Chi-Lites
One month ago today I was happy as a lark But now I go for walks To the movies - maybe to the park
And have a seat on the same old bench To watch the children play (huh) You know, tomorrow is their future But to me, just another day
They all gather around me They seem to know my name We laugh, tell a few jokes But it still doesn´t ease my pain
I know I can´t hide from a memory ´Though day after day I´ve tried I keep sayin´ she´ll be back But today again I lied
Verse 1: Oh, I see her face everywhere I go On the street, and even at the picture show Have you seen her? Tell me, have you seen her?
Verse 2: Oh, I hear her voice as the cold winds blow In the sweet music on my radio Have you seen her? Tell me, have you seen her?
Why, oh, why Did she have to leave and go away [2: oh, yeah]
Oh-oh-oh, I´ve been used to havin´ someone to lean on And I´m lost Baby, I´m lost (Oh)
Verse 3: Oh, she left her kiss upon my lips But left that break within my heart Have you seen her? Tell me, have you seen her?
Verse 4: Oh, I see her hand reaching out to me Only she can set me free Have you seen her? Tell me, have you seen her?
(spoken over 2nd and 3rd repeats):
As another day comes to an end I´m lookin´ for a letter or somethin´ Anything that she would send With all the people I know I´m still a lonely man You know, it´s funny I thought I had her in the palm of my hand
repeat:
Have you seen her Tell me, have you seen her (tell me, have you seen her?)
Two hundred miles from my home A million miles from you Livin' without you on my own You know it's hard to do And through the night, feelings grow You know I need you so
Lightning and thunder may appear But you know I'm forever here Time will never tear us apart We'll never leave as broken-hearted Believe in me, you know how I really feel My love, how I want you near
Helene, things you do Make me crazy about you Helene, when we say goodbye It always makes me cry
Helene, things you do Make me crazy about you Helene, stay just one more night Say you don't have to leave Until the end of time
Helene, things you do Make me crazy about you Can't you stay just one more night Can't you stay by my side
Two hundred miles from my home And so many miles from you Livin' without you on my own You know it's hard to do And through the night, feelings grow You know I need you so You know I need you so You know I need you so
Have You Never Been Mellow Composer(s): John Farrar Performer(s): Olivia Newton-John; and various other artists
There was a time when I was in a hurry as you are I was like you There was a day when I just had to tell my point of view I was like you Now I don't mean to make you frown No, I just want you to slow down
Have you never been mellow? Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you? Have you never been happy just to hear your song? Have you never let someone else be strong?
Running around as you do with your head up in the clouds I was like you Never had time to lay back, kick your shoes off, close your eyes I was like you Now you're not hard to understand You need someone to hold your hand

Helena, Helena...
När jag ser dig, då slutar jag tänka När jag hör dig, då hettar min kind Kanske vill du, att jag ska få längta När du försvinner, som en sommarvind
Helena, Helena...
Är du ängen, vill jag va din blomma Är du havet, vill jag va din båt Än så länge, står ängarna tomma havet är stilla, luften kall och våt
Helena, Helena...
Har du märkt, har du hört fåglar sjunga en sång Har du sett båtar gunga nån gång Har du känt jag är varm....varm varm varm varm Kanske du inte vet men det gör ingenting Jag kan gå jag kan vandra omkring i min längtans värld
Helena, Helena...
Som en fjäril, är du svår att fånga som en hägring, är du svår att nå När jag längtar, blir dagarna långa men jag kan vänta, länge till ändå...
Have You Made The Day Worthwhile? Composer(s): Charlie Chester; Ken Morris Performer(s): Billy Cotton
(Billy) Have you made the day worthwhile Have you made your neighbour smile Life is worth the living if you believe Theres more joy in giving than there is to receive Have you made your heart feel proud Do you feel above the crowd To see tomorrows sun more clearly Just ask yourself sincerely Have you made the day worthwhile
(Chorus) Have you made the day worthwhile Have you made your neighbour smile
(Billy) Life is worth the living if you believe Theres more joy in giving than there is to receive
(Chorus) Have you made your heart feel proud
(Billy) Do you feel above the crowd
(Chorus) To see tomorrows sun more clearly Just ask yourself sincerely
Speedball Tucker Composer(s): Jim Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce; The Ventures
I drive a broke-down rig on "may-pop" tires Forty foot of overload A lot of people say that I'm crazy Because I don't know how to take it slow I got a broomstick on the throttle I got her opened up and head right down Nonstop back to Dallas Poppin' them West Coast turnarounds
And they call me Speedball, Speedball Tucker Terror of the highways, and all them other truckers Will tell you that the boy is mad To be drivin' in a rig like that
You know the rain may blow, the snow may snow The turnpikes, they may freeze But they don't bother old Speedball He goin' any damn way he please He got a broomstick on the throttle To keep his throttle foot a-dancin' 'round With a cup full of cold black coffee And a pocketful of West Coast turnarounds
And they call me Speedball, Speedball Tucker Terror of the highways, and all them other truckers Will tell you that the boy is mad To be drivin' in a rig like that
One day I looked into my rear-view mirror And comin' up from behind There was a Georgia state policeman And a hundred dollar fine Well he looked me in the eye as he was writin' me up He said, "Driver, you've been flyin' And ninety-five was the route you were on It was not the speed limit sign"
And they call me Speedball, Speedball Tucker Terror of the highways, and all them other truckers Will tell you that the boy is mad To be drivin' in a rig like that
And they call me Speedball, Speedball Tucker Terror of the highways, and all them other truckers Will tell you that the boy is mad To be drivin' in a rig like that
Héléna Composer(s): R. Desbois; J. Ledru; R. Denoncin Performer(s): Dalida
Toi qui pars pour Bahia Va danser dans les bras d'Hélèna On devient amoureux Lorsqu'on voit les beaux yeux d'Hélèna Le soleil te sourit Mon ami bon voyage Le pays est joli Mais la vie elle aussi tu verras
On oublie Marianna Lorsqu'on est dans les bras d'Hélèna La chaleur de son corps Me rend plus fou encore que sa voix Mais le jeu de l'amour Est toujours le plus sage Je n'aurai que le droit De danser dans les bras d'Hélèna
Have You Looked Into Your Heart Composer(s): Bill Barberis; Teddy Randazzo; Bobby Weinstein Performer(s): Jerry Vale
Have you looked into your heart did you find a memory or two Even though the flame has died Maybe there's a spark inside Have you looked into your heart
Have you searched thru all your dreams did you ever find a trace of me Even though you say we're through That I'm not the one for you Have you looked into your heart
When the evening shadows Fall upon my window pane I find I'm crying over, and over And over and over and over again
Since we've been apart All I do is pray for your return Take a look and you will see Maybe there's a place for me Have you looked into your heart

Have you heard who's kissing him now Do you think he's blue Did he say we're through Has he found someone new
Have you seen the way he looks now Does he act the same when he hears my name Does he say who's to blame My arms are empty My nights are long and lonely I miss him so Each new tomorrow can only bring me sorrow I love him so
Have you heard of their wedding day Rumors come and go Still I'd like to know If it's true won't you tell me Have you heard
