Alors Je Dérive Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
La la la la la la Je suis bien Écrasée contre ton cur La la la la la la Ne dis rien Laisse parler le bonheur Car les mots que l'on dit en amour Sont sans importance La la la la la la Jusqu'au jour Gardons le silence
Pour que je dérive Au cours de l'amour Et baigne en eau profonde Comme une algue Au fleuve du temps Je file au gré de l'onde Je dérive Étant tour à tour Lorsque nos deus curs s'affolent Au creux de la vague À la proue du vent Sans dire une parole
La la la la la la dans la nuit Toi et moi ne ferons qu'un La la la la la la Loin du bruit Jusqu'aux lueurs du matin Les mots qu'en amour on dit nouveaux Sont toujours les mêmes La la la la la la Quand ta peau Murmure je t'aime Alors je dérive

Along The Way To Waikiki Composer(s): Richard A. Whiting - Gus Kahn Performer(s): Bing Crosby and multiple other artists
Far away, far away Where the balmy breezes blow Where they sway while they play Ukeleles sweet and low
Where my heart is I am going And I wish you were going too If you stray down that way I'll be there to welcome you
And if you like, you can hike with me Along the way to Waikiki Where the palm trees swaying Playing in the breeze Harmonise with those Hawaiian melodies
That's why I yearn to return once more I want to stroll o'er the golden shore Where the silv'ry stars and the steel guitars Stole a part of the heart of me Along the way to Waikiki
If you go then I know You will learn to love it too Eyes aglow, voices low Singing love songs just for you
If the world looks blue and dreary And you long for a place worthwhile Let me know, let me show you That sunny sun-kissed isle
And if you like, you can hike with me Along the way to Waikiki Where the plam trees swaying Playing in the breeze Harmonise with those Hawaiian melodies
That's why I yearn to return once more I want to stroll o'er the golden shore Where the silv'ry stars and the steel guitars Stole a part of the heart of me Along the way to Waikiki
Along The Road Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg and multiple other artists
Joy at the start Fear in the journey Joy in the coming home A part of the heart Gets lost in the learning Somewhere along the road
Along the road Your path may wander A pilgrim's faith may fail Absence makes the heart grow stronger Darkness obscures the trail
Cursing the quest Courting disaster Measureless nights forebode Moments of rest Glimpses of laughter Are treasured along the road
Along the road Your steps may tumble Your thoughts may start to stray But through it all a heart held humble Levels and lights your way
Joy at the start Fear in the journey Joy in the coming home A part of the heart Gets lost in the learning Somewhere along the road Somewhere along the road Somewhere along the road
With These Hands Composer(s): Benny David; Abner Silver Original Performer: Lee Lawrence
Made Famous By: Shirley Bassey
Recorded by various other artists
With these hands, I will cling to you I'm yours forever and a day With these hands, I will bring to you A tender love as warm as May With this heart I will sing to you Long after stars have lost their glow And with these hands, I'll provide for you Should there be a stormy sea I'll turn the tide for you And I'll never No, I'll never let you go
Along The Navajo Trail Composer(s): Larry Markes - Dick Charles - Eddie DeLange Performer(s): Roy Rogers and multiple other artists
Every day, along about evening When the sunlight's beginning to pale I ride through the slumbering shadows Along the Navajo Trail When it's night and crickets are callin' And coyotes are makin' a wail I dream by a smoldering fire Along the Navajo Trail I love to lie and listen to the music When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar When over yonder hill the moon is climbin' It always finds me wishin' on a star Well whatta ya know, it's mornin' already There's the dawnin', so silver and pale It's time to climb into my saddle And ride the Navajo Trail
I love to lie and listen to the music When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar When over yonder hill the moon is climbin' It always finds me wishin' on a star Well whatta ya know, it's mornin' already There's the dawnin', so silver and pale (like a silvery veil) It's time to climb into my saddle And ride the Navajo Trail Ride the Navajo Trail Ride the Navajo Trail
With The Wind And The Rain In Your Hair Composer(s): Clara Edwards; Jack Lawrence Performer(s): Bob Crosby; and various other artists
Last night we met and I dream of you yet With the wind and the rain in your hair I held you tight and you whispered "Goodnight" With the wind and the rain in your hair
Now it will be my favourite memory That vision of you standing there Oh, there in the mist, how you sighed when we kissed With the wind and the rain in your hair
Now it will be may favourite memory That vision of you standing there Umm, there in the mist, how you sighed when we kissed With the wind and the rain in your hair
Along Comes Mary Composer(s): Tandyn Almer First release by: The Association - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely Someone calls on me And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse And curse those faults in me
And then along comes Mary And does she want to give me kicks, and be my steady chick And give me pick of memories Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations No one ever sees
When we met I was sure out to lunch Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks Whose sickness is the games they play And when the masquerade is played and neighbour folks make jokes As who is most to blame today
And then along comes Mary And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality From where she got her name And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch as hers Will make them not the same
When we met I was sure out to lunch Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
And when the morning of the warnings passed, the gassed And flaccid kids are flung across the stars The psychodramas and the traumas gone The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars
And then along comes Mary And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains She left the night before Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them Realise their urgent cry for sight no more
When we met I was sure out to lunch Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
With The Eyes Of A Child Composer(s): Guy Fletcher; Doug Flett Performer(s): Cliff Richard
Draw back the curtain Let the sun stream in So tell me a story When you're ready, begin Speak of the peaceful The gracious, the wise Let the world hear our laughter Before it dies With a beginning There must be an end What is the truth of that my friend From the sound of the joyous The gentle, the mild Please look out at life With the eyes of a child
From the eyes of a child Keep out darkness and let in light Let the eyes of a child See little things that will give him peace And fill his life
Short is the memory But long is the hate For peace on the earth How long must we wait? Think of the colours The seasons, the sun Put an end to the sorrows That we have begun
From the eyes of a child Keep out darkness and let in light Let the eyes of a child See little things that will give him peace And fill his life
Draw back the curtain The stage is all set And start on a story We'll never forget Tell all the hopeful The loving, the mild Then look out at life With the eyes of a child
With Plenty Of Money And You Composer(s): Al Dubin; Harry Warren Performer(s): Count Basie & Tony Bennett
Well, baby, what I couldn't do With plenty of money and you In spite of the worry that money brings Just a little filthy looker buys a lot of things And I could take you to places that you would like to go But outside of that, I've no use for dough It's the root of all evil Of strife and upheaval But I'm certain, honey, that life would be sunny With plenty of money and you
It's the root of all evil Of strife and upheaval But I'm certain, honey, that life would be sunny With plenty of money and you
Along Came You (A Song for Emily) Composer(s): Gloria Estefan Performer(s): Gloria Estefan
I thought that I knew all there was to know I knew all about love I lived the highs and made it through the lows I knew all about love But now I must admit I'm surprised And feel I've only scratched the surface 'Cause baby when I look in your eyes I understand my one true purpose
You were sent to me By angels up above, I'm certain I thought I'd show you what love can be But what did I know Until along came you To teach me about love Oh yes, along came you To teach me about love
And as this feeling grows with every day You awaken my heart A heart so full I fear that it may break If we're ever apart And though one day you'll be own your own You know I always will be near you As near as on the day you were born Call on me, you know I'll hear you
You were sent to me For one reason, I can tell you You're here to show me what love can be 'Cause what did I know Until along came you To teach me about love Oh yes, along came you To teach me about love
Thula thula sana U mama uyeza Thula Thula sana Thula thula sana U mama uyeza
You were sent to me By angels up above, I'm certain You're here to show me what love can be 'Cause what did I know Until along came you To teach me about love, oh Oh yes, along came you To teach me about love Teach me about love Oh yes, along came you Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby Teach me about love Baby, baby teach me about love Oh yes, along came you
With Pen In Hand Composer(s): Bobby Goldsboro Performer(s): Shirley Bassey & Vikki Carr; and various other artists
With pen in hand you sign your name Today I find I'll be on that train And you'll be free and i will be alone So alone If you think we can't find The love we once knew If you think I can't make Everything up to you Then I'll be gone And you'll be on your own You'll be on your own Can you take good care of Jenny Can you take her to school everyday Can you teach her how to play All the games that little girls play Here what I say Can you teach her how to roll up her hair Can you make sure each night That she says her prayers Well if you can do these things Then maybe she won't miss me Maybe she won't miss me And tonight as you lay In that big lonely bed And you look at that pillow Where I laid my head With your heart on fire Will you have no desire To kiss me Or to hold me And if you can forget The good times that we had If you don't think the good times Outweigh the bad Than go ahead and sign your name And I'll be on my way I'll be on my way La da da da da da da da da La da da da da da da da da
I'm Gonna Write A Song Composer(s): Glenn Sutton First release by: Lynn Anderson - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
Folks sit around with their face in a frown And gape about the way things they are They're happy to receive but they hardly ever want to give I'm so tired of complaining and so in the time remaining I'm gonna do my best to make the world a better place to live I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing It's gonna be about sunshine and praise every living thing It's gonna be about love The one thing the world needs a lot more of I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
Our fourfathers had only faith in God And they willed to make the nation strong So the old time religion could help 'em find a better way We need more soul saving and a lot more people flag waving And there's no better time for us to start than today I'm gonna write a song... I'm gonna write a song...
With One More Look At You/Watch Closely Now Composer(s): Paul Williams; Kenny Ascher Performer(s): Barbra Streisand & Kris Kristofferson
With one more look at you I could learn to tame the clouds And let the sun shine through Leave a troubled past and I might start anew I'll solve the mysteries if you're the prize Refresh these tired eyes
With one more look at you I might overcome the anger That I've learned to know Find a peace of mind I lost so long ago Your gentle touch has made me strong again And I belong again
For when you look at me I'm everything and more that I had dreamed I'd be My spirit feels a promise I won't be alone We'll love and live more Love and live forever
With one more look at you I'd learn to change the stars And change our fortunes too I'd have the constellations paint your portrait too So all the world might share this wondrous sight The world could end each night With one more look at you With one more look at you I want one more look at you
Are you watching me now? Watch closely now Your eyes are like fingers Touching my body Arousing me so I'm ridin' the passion arising inside me How high can I go? You're comin' with me, I'm gonna show you how And when it's scary, I won't look down
Are you watching me now? Watch closely now I see the hunger arise in your eyes And it's urging me on Higher and harder and faster and farther Than I've ever gone Your pleasure is part of the secret Of flight that I found When I feel like an eagle My soul has no place on the ground
Born out of madness I'll double the danger with no net at all If you don't look away I'm secure In the fact that you won't let me fall
Watch closely now Are you watching me now? I'm the master magician Who'll help you escape From the lies you've been told
When they're breaking your back Bring the last straw to me I turn straw into gold I break chains made of boredom that others have lived With for years I leave good news on doorsteps And laughs where there used to be tears
I'm gonna need you later When you're not around But I can take it I won't look down
Watch closely now Are you watching me now? Watch me now Are you watching me now? Are you watching me now?
Along Came Ruth Composer(s): Irving Berlin - Conrad Salinger - Roger Edens
I had girls by the score yes, a hundred or more Each one as nice as could be It was hard to decide which I'd want for my bride They all looked lovely to me
While I was trying to choose one I met a wonderful girl She came tripping along, like a beautiful song Setting my brain in a whirl
I was growing very fond of Molly When along came Ruth, along came Ruth I thought an awful lot of Dolly, when Ruth came along My head began to "Merrygoround," I almost married Polly
I was making love to May, when along came Ruth And to tell the truth, she stole my heart away
There's a right little girl, with the right little curl For ev'ry right little boy When she comes you'll forget, all the others you've met Sorrow will turn into joy
She doesn't have to be pretty, she doesn't have to be wise When she comes you will find, tho' they say love is blind She'll make you open your eyes
I was growing very fond of Molly When along came Ruth, along came Ruth, I thought an awful lot of Dolly, when Ruth came along My head began to "Merrygoround," I almost married Polly
I was making love to May, when along came Ruth And to tell the truth, she stole my heart away
With My Little Ukulele In My Hand Composer(s): Jack Cottrell Performer(s): George Formby
Now everybodys got a crazy notion of their own Some like to mix up with a crowd, some like to be alone Its no one elses business as far as I can see But every time that I go out the people stare at me
With my little ukulele in my hand, of course the people do not understand Some say why dont you be a scout, why dont you read a book? But I get lots more pleasure when Im playing with my uke Of course I take no notice you can tell For mothers sound advice will always stand She said "My boy do what I say and youll never go astray If you keep your ukulele in your hand, yes son Keep your ukulele in your hand"
While walking down the prom last night as peaceful as can be When some young girl said "what about a stroll down by the sea?" She said her name was Jane and that shed just come for the day She looked so young and harmless that I couldnt turn away So with my little ukulele in my hand, I took a stroll with Jane along the sand We walked along for miles without a single care or frown But when we reached the sand hills she said "Come on lets sit down" I felt so shy and bashful sitting there, cause the things I said she didnt understand She said "Your love just turns me dizzy, come along big boy get busy" But I kept my ukulele in my hand, yes sir, I kept my ukulele in my hand
Made up my mind that Id get wed some eighteen months ago I also bought a book about the things you want to know But just about a week ago I got a awful fright I had to get dressed quickly in the middle of the night And with my little ukulele in my hand, I ran along the road for Dr. Brand It didnt take him long to get his little bag of tools I held his hat and coat and let him have my book of rules Out of the bedroom door he looked and smiled He said, "Come inside and see your wife and child" My heart it jumped with joy, I could see it was a boy For he had a ukulele in his hand, oh baby He had a ukulele in his hand
Alone With You Composer(s): Lew Pollack - Sidney D. Mitchell Performer(s): Phyllis Brooks & Jack Haley
I've always known that three's a crowd Only two may dance, only to romance So when I see you in a crowd I'm not satisfied till I reach your side
Alone with you I don't know the meaning of time Alone with you I'm yours without reason or rhyme I'd be content to be sent to an island in the sea If I had you with me, how lucky I would be
Alone with you I'd have everything that I need I always knew I'd follow wherever you lead So ring the bells in the steeple, tell all the people That we are one and I've begun To live in a heaven alone with you
With My Little Stick Of Blackpool Rock Composer(s): Gifford Cliffe; George Formby Performer(s): George Formby; Kevin Grunill
Every year when summer comes round, off to the sea I go I don't care if I do spend a pound, I'm rather rash I know See me dressed like all the sports, in my blazer and a pair of shorts With my little stick of Blackpool Rock, along the promenade I stroll It may be sticky but I never complain, it's nice to have a nibble at it now and again Every day wherever I stray the kids all round me flock
One afternoon the band conductor up on his stand Somehow lost his baton - it flew out of his hand So I jumped in his place and then conducted the band With my little stick of Blackpool Rock
With my little stick of Blackpool Rock, along the promenade I stroll In my pocket it got stuck I could tell Cos when I pulled it out I pulled my shirt off as well Every day wherever I stray the kids all round me flock
A girl while bathing clung to me, my wits had to use She cried, "I'm drowning, and to save me, you won't refuse" I said, "Well if youre drowning then I don't want to lose My little stick of Blackpool Rock"
With my little stick of Blackpool Rock, along the promenade I stroll In the ballroom I went dancing each night No wonder every girl that danced with me, stuck to me tight Every day wherever I stray the kids all round me flock
A fellow took my photograph it cost one and three I said when it was done, "Is that supposed to be me?" "You've properly mucked it up the only thing I can see is My little stick of Blackpool Rock"
