Versions In Other Languages: 1975 - Après Tant De Temps (by Reinhard Mey) 1975 - Als De Dag Van Toen (by Reinhard Mey)
Wie vor Jahr und Tag liebe ich dich doch vielleicht weiser nur und bewußter noch Und noch immerfort ist ein Tag ohne dich ein verlor´ner Tag, verlor´ne Zeit für mich Wie vor Jahr und Tag ist noch immerfort das Glück und dein Name dasselbe Wort Allein was sich geändert haben mag Ich lieb dich noch mehr, als vor Jahr und Tag
Mit wieviel Hoffnungen hat alles angefangen wieviel Erwartung auf dem Weg, der vor uns lag Wir sind seitdem manch Stück darauf gegangen und doch ist er für mich neu, wie am ersten Tag Ich zähl die Jahre, die seitdem verstrichen schon lange nicht mehr auf den Fingern einer Hand Und doch ist nichts von deinem Bild verblichen vermiß ich nichts, was ich liebenswert daran fand
Wie vor Jahr und Tag liebe ich dich doch vielleicht weiser nur und bewußter noch Und noch immerfort ist ein Tag ohne dich ein verlor´ner Tag, verlor´ne Zeit für mich Wie vor Jahr und Tag ist noch immerfort das Glück und dein Name dasselbe Wort Allein was sich geändert haben mag Ich lieb dich noch mehr, als vor Jahr und Tag
Ich habe tausendmal versucht, dich zu erlernen so wie man aus einem Buch lernen kann; ich Tor Und sah mit jeder Lektion sich mein Ziel entfernen und heute weiß ich weniger noch, als zuvor Ich habe tausendmal versucht vorauszusehen wie du wohl handeln würdest, aber jedesmal wenn ich schon glaubte,alles an dir zu verstehen erschien es mir, als säh´ ich dich zum erstenmal
Wie vor Jahr und Tag liebe ich dich doch vielleicht weiser nur und bewußter noch Und noch immerfort ist ein Tag ohne dich ein verlor´ner Tag, verlor´ne Zeit für mich Wie vor Jahr und Tag ist noch immerfort das Glück und dein Name dasselbe Wort Allein was sich geändert haben mag Ich lieb dich noch mehr, als vor Jahr und Tag
Lachen und Weinen sind in jener Zeit verklungen die in Siebenmeilenstiefeln an uns vorübereilt Und von den besten all meiner Erinnerungen hab´ ich die schönsten, meine Freundin, wohl mit dir geteilt Nein,keine Stunde gäb´s, die ich bereute Und mir bleibt nur als Trost dafür, das keine wiederkehrt Viel mehr als gestern liebe ich dich heute doch weniger noch,als ich dich morgen lieben werd´
Wie vor Jahr und Tag liebe ich dich doch vielleicht weiser nur und bewußter noch Und noch immerfort ist ein Tag ohne dich ein verlor´ner Tag, verlor´ne Zeit für mich Wie vor Jahr und Tag ist noch immerfort das Glück und dein Name dasselbe Wort Allein was sich geändert haben mag Ich lieb dich noch mehr, als vor Jahr und Tag
Without Love (There Is Nothing) Composer(s): Danny Small Performer(s): Clyde McPhatter
I awakened this morning, I was filled with despair All my dreams turned to ashes and gone, oh yeah As I looked at my life it was barren and bare Without love I've had nothing at all Without love I've had nothing Without love I've had nothing at all I have conquered the world All but one thing did I have Without love I've had nothing at all Once I had a sweetheart who loved only me There was nothing, oh that she would not give, oh no But I was blind to her goodness and I could not see That a heart without love cannot live Without love I've had nothing Without love I've had nothing at all I have conquered the world All but one thing did I have Without love I've had nothing at all

Without Her Composer(s): Harry Nilsson Original Performer: Harry Nilsson Covered by various other artists
I spend the night in a chair thinking she'll be there But she never comes And I wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyes And I rise to face another day Without her
Without her, I can't go on Without her, I can't go on Without her, I can't go on
It's just no good anymore when you walk through the door To an empty room You go inside and set a table for one, it's no fun When you have to spend a day Without her, do do do... Without her, do do do...
We burst the pretty balloon took us to the moon It's such a beautiful thing But it's ended now And it sounds like a lie I said I'd rather die than live without her Without her
Love is a beautiful thing when it knows how to swing And it moves like a clock But the hands on the clock tell the lovers to part And it's breaking my heart To have to spend a day without her, do do do... Can't go on without her
Without her, I can't go on Without her, I can't go on Without her, I can't go on
We burst the pretty balloon took us to the moon It's such a beautiful thing But it's ended now And it sounds like a lie I said I'd rather die than live without her Without her Without her, do do do... It's so wrong without her Can't go on
I spend the night in a chair thinking she'll be there But she never comes And I wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyes And I rise to face another day Without her, do do do... Can't go on without her There's no song without her It's all wrong without her Can't go on

Without A Word Of Warning Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Revel Performer(s): Dean Martin; and various other artists
Without a word of warning my life has begun Without a word of warning two hearts beat as one From out of nowhere you came to me A breeze passed by whispering your name to me And without a word of warning strange as it seems We kissed and with that kiss you invaded my dreams I don't know how it ever happened out of the blue up above You came along to answer my song of love I don't know how it ever happened out of the blue up above You came along to answer my song of love
Without A Song Composer(s): Edward Eliscu; Billy Rose; Vincent Youmans Original Performers: Lois Deppe & Russell Woodling's Jubilee Singers Made Famous By: Frank Sinatra Covered by various other artists
Without a song, the day would never end Without a song, the road would never bend When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend Without a song!
That field of corn, would never see a plough That field of corn, would be deserted now A young one's born, but he's no good no how Without a song!
I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know The Jordan will roll (Roll you river Jordan!) I'll get along as long as a song is strung In my soul!
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall I'll never know what makes the grass so tall I only know there ain't no love at all Without a song!
(I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know the Jordan will roll I'll get along as long as a song is strung in my soul!) In my soul!
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall I'll never know what makes the grass so tall I only know there ain't no love at all Without a song!
Alright For An Hour Composer(s): Jessie Ed Davis - Rod Stewart Performer(s): Rod Stewart
Oh, didn't I mess around like ev'rybody did? I said, "Woman, you're foolin' around with a man that just don't fit" I said, "I'd better get along before I get right under your skin" Remember the song, wasn't it fun, 'cause it was just one of those things
But it was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend and I packed my bags and moved right away
I said goodbye to money, I don't owe no alimony I paid my dues and payroll cues, gonna leave it all up to you I'll take my dog and my car, the best friends I've found so far and I'll keep goin' with the mornin' sun, singin' the same old song
But it was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend and I packed my bags and moved right away
Well I guess you needed somebody to open each and ev'ry door With a large amount in the Swiss account to give you thrills and nothing more But my Volkswagen is hardly a custom built Ferarri You want firstclass but I pump gas, so I'll get on out of your way
But it was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend and I packed my bags and moved right away It was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend and I packed my bags and moved right away
Within You Without You Composer(s): George Harrison Original Performers: The Beatles Covered by various other artists
We were talking about the space between us all and people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion never glimpse the truth then it's far too late when they pass away
We were talking about the love we all could share When we find it to try our best to hold it there with our love, with our love we could save the world if they only knew
Try to realize it's all within yourself no one else can make you change And to see you're really only very small and life flows on within you and without you
We were talking about the love that's gone so cold and the people who gain the world and lose their soul They don't know, they can't see Are you one of them
When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find peace of mind is waiting there And the time will come when you see we're all one and life flows on within you and without you
Already Gone Composer(s): Jack Tempchin - Robert Strandlund First release by: Eagles - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day and they said you were gonna put me on a shelf But let me tell you I got some news for you and you soon find out it's true and then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
'Cause I'm already gone and I'm feelin' strong I will sing this vict'ry song Woo-hoo-hoo-o, my my, woo-hoo-hoo-o
The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why but I guess you felt like you had to set things right Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky you can see the stars and still not see the light, that's right
And I'm already gone and I'n feelin' strong I will sing this vict'ry song Woo-hoo-hoo-o, my my, woo-hoo-hoo-o
Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key
But me, I'm already gone and I'm feelin' strong I will sing, I will sing this vict'ry song 'cause I'm already gone
Yes, I'm already gone and I'm feelin' strong I will sing this vict'ry song 'cause I'm already gone

Alquien Que Ve Mas Lejos Composer(s): Adrián Abonizio Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Sirena del río, te busco andando en la noche, te siento Sirena de luna vos estás antes que todo Te pido una cosa, hacé que te vea antes de que me vaya antes de que me muera Sirena del faro, tu luna no es la misma luna de los mortales Perdí las estrellas, jugando a los dados y en la mesa del Diablo y ahora no tengo nada Sirena del tiempo, tu tiempo es cosa en el agua, se escapa Atále un dorado, un hilo de tanza a mi corazón, él no sabe nada menos de guerra, mi corazón es de playa Mi corazón solitario Sirena, sirena, mi mamá dejó su atadura, hace poco Guiala en la noche sílbale bajito, ayúdale Es como una niña, le basta el reflejo para levantar vuelo y allá nos encontramos Sirena del río, te busco andando en la noche, te siento Sirena de luna vos estabas antes de todo te pido una cosa, hacé que te vea antes de que me vaya antes de que me muera Mi corazón es de playa y ahora no veo nada y allá nos encontraremos que allá nos encontraremos que allá nos encontraremos
With You There To Help Me Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull
In days of peace sweet smelling summer nights of wine and song dusty pavements burning feet Why am I crying, I want to know How can I smile and make it right? For sixty days and eighty nights and not give in and lose the fight
I'm going back to the ones that I know with whom I can be what I want to be Just one week for the feeling to go and with you there to help me then it probably will
I won't go down acting the same old play Give sixty days for just one night Don't think I'd make it: but then I might
I'm going back to the ones that I know with whom I can be what I want to be Just one week for the feeling to go and with you there to help me then it probably will
Alors Reviens-Moi Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
S'il te reste un mot d'amour Un je t'aime, un toujours Oublié au fond de toi S'il subsiste que de nous deux Juste un rêve un coin de ciel bleu Alors reviens-moi
S'il te reste au fond du cur Une flamme, une flamme Qui survie malgré le froid Qui est tombé sur nos vies Par ma faute, par ma folie Alors reviens-moi
Oui reviens-moi J'ai appris à t'aimer De nuages en nuages Aveuglément j'ai cherché loin de toi Je ne sais quel soleil Mais dans le ciel nuit et jour Une fée dessinait ton visage Et c'était toi toujours toi Que mes mains cherchaient au réveil Alors reviens-moi
S'il te reste malgré tout Un rien que le tendre fou N'ai pu arracher de toi Une larme ou un frisson Quelques notes d'une chanson Alors reviens-moi
Oui reviens-moi J'ai appris à t'aimer De nuages en nuages Aveuglément j'ai cherché loin de toi Je ne sais quel soleil Mais dans le ciel nuit et jour Une fée dessinait ton visage Et c'était toi toujours toi Que mes mains cherchaient au réveil Alors reviens-moi
S'il te reste un mot d'amour Un je t'aime pour toujours Oublier au fond de toi S'il te reste une raison De ne pas maudire non non Alors reviens-moi

I'll take a walk all by myself So I can think of nothing else But loving you when we find time These are the things I'll do with you in mind I'll pick a rose and feel the thorn Every day that you are gone A new memory to live I'll find These are the things I'll do with you in mind There'll come a day when I can live To go and bring you back to me We'll dance and sing and toast someone There are the things I'll do with you in mind There are the things I'll do with you in mind
