And The Angels Sing ((Adapted from: Frahlich In Swing (And The Angels Sing) (by Ziggy Elman & Martha Tilton) - 1939)) Composer(s): Ziggy Elman - Johnny Mercer Performer(s): Benny Goodman & His Orch. - 1939 and multiple other artists
We meet, and the angels sing The angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard You speak, and the angels sing Or am I breathing music into every word
Suddenly, the setting is strange I can see water and moonlight beaming Silver waves that break on some undiscovered shore - Then Suddenly, I see it all change Long winter nights with the candles gleaming Through it all your face that I adore
You smile, and the angels sing And though it's just a gentle murmur at the start We kiss, and the angels sing And leave their music ringing in my heart
Dans La Brume Du Matin ((aka Chaque Matin Il Se Lève (Eddy Mitchell) - 1974))
((Adapted from: Early Morning Rain (Gordon Lightfoot) - 1966))
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot - Jean-Michel Rivat
Performer(s): Joe Dassin - 1966
Dans la brume du matin Une pièce entre les doigts Une peine dans le cur Pas de quoi rentrer chez moi
Sur un aéroport Comme on voudrait s'envoler Dans la brume du matin Nulle part où aller
Sur la piste du départ La première caravelle Disparaît dans le brouillard Je vois scintiller ses ailes
J'ai de la pluie dans les yeux Dans la gorge un goût d'alcool Mais déjà je la vois Qui a pris son envol
Dans la brume du matin Elle ne laisse qu'un sillage Avant de partir au loin Tout au-dessus des nuages
Où le ciel est toujours bleu Où jamais il ne pleut Elle volera à midi Au-dessus de mon pays
Tout ça me fout le cafard Il s'y clouait sur le sol J'ai les yeux pleins de brouillard J'sens la fumée, je sens l'alcool
Il vaudrait mieux pour moi Retourner sur mes pas M'en aller un peu plus loin Dans la brume du matin
M'en aller un peu plus loin Dans la brume du matin
And That Reminds Me Composer(s): Camillo Bargoni - Al Stillman Performer(s): Della Reese and multiple other artists
I hear the sound of music Your favorite kind of music And that reminds me dear of you I see the summer roses Your favorite shade of roses And that reminds me to of you, dear
If I could hear no music If there should be no roses No summer nights to make me dream as I do Perhaps, I might forget you But in my heart I know That I need no reminder to miss you so
I hear the sound of music Your favorite kind of music And that reminds me dear of you I see the summer roses Your favorite shade of roses And that reminds me to of you, dear
If I could hear no music If there should be no roses No summer nights to make me dream as I do Perhaps, I might forget you But in my heart I know That I need no reminder to miss you so
Dans Dix Ou Dans Vingt Ans Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Dans dix ou dans vingt ans d'ici Quand nous aurons enfin compris Que l'on ne peut pas vivre ainsi De caresses et de déchirures Quand je t'aurai assez trahie Que tu m'auras assez meurtri Saurons-nous recouvrir d'oubli Les raisons de nos meurtrissures? Dans dix ou dans vingt ans qui sait Si enfin libre désormais D'un passé de bosses et de plaies Faites d'orgueil et de bêtises Malgré le mal que tu me fais Malgré tout ce qu'en moi tu hais Connaîtrons-nous enfin la paix A travers ce qui nous divise?
Dans dix ou dans vingt ans d'ici Quand mille fois j'aurai franchi Le chemin de la porte au lit Et celui du lit à la porte Et que n'étant plus ennemis En nos coeurs comme en nos esprits Tous les sujets de jalousie Entre nous serons lettres mortes Dans dix ou dans vingt ans passés Que reste-t-il des années Qu'ensemble nous aurons brûlées En guerres froides et en reproches? Quand le temps aura effacé Tout ce qui peut nous séparer Peut-être saurons-nous trouver Des choses enfin qui nous rapprochent
Dans dix ou dans vingt ans d'ici Quand l'âge nous auras soumis Et qu'entre fugues et folies L'amour aura franchi le pire Lorsque nous connaîtrons le prix De la tendresse et de la vie, Que nous n'aurons plus par défi De plaisir à s'entre-détruire Je reviendrai par la pensée Sur les détails de ce passé Que tout deux nous aurons signés La tête en feu et le coeur ivre En me disant qu'à tes côtés Malgré tout, et tout bien pesé Il était beau le temps d'aimer Il était beau le temps de vivre
Danny's Song Composer(s): Kenny Loggins Originally performed by: Gator Creek Covered by various other artists
People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one, and we've just begun Think I'm gonna have a son He will be like she and me, as free as a dove, conceived in love Sun is gonna shine above
Chorus: And even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with ya honey And everything will bring a chain of love And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes And tell me everything is gonna be alright Seems as though a month ago I beta chi, never got high Oh, I was a sorry guy And now a smile, a face, a girl that shares my name Now I'm through with the game, this boy will never be the same
(To chorus:)
Pisces, Virgo rising is a very good sign, strong and kind And the little boy is mine Now I see a family where there once was none, now we've just begun Yeah, we're gonna fly to the sun
(To chorus:)
Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cup, drink it up Love her and she'll bring you luck And if you find she helps your mind, buddy, take her home Don't you live alone, try to earn what lovers own
And So To Sleep Again Composer(s): Joe Marsala - Sunny Skylar Performer(s): Coleman Hawkins and multiple other artists
And so to sleep again, as if Ill ever sleep again These restless nights go on away from you And so to dream again, as if Ill ever dream again My darling, since youve gone, my dreams are through
No other arms can ease this ache within my heart No other lips can kiss away these tears that start And so to sleep again, as if Ill ever sleep again As if Ill ever love again anyone but you
No other arms can ease this ache within my heart No other lips can kiss away these tears that start And so to sleep again, as if Ill ever sleep again As if Ill ever love again anyone but you
Danny's All-Star Joint Composer(s): Rickie Lee Jones Performer(s): Rickie Lee Jones; Sarah Green
Downstairs at Danny's All-Star joint They got a juke box that goes doyt-doyt The vice is nice, they stay in the back all day But when the nighttime comes, hey-hey There's this cat down there that makes a bad kinda soup I come around struttin' my luck in my shoop coupe Cecil gives me coffee And he won't never take my coin I say, "I got thirty dollars in my pocket! Whatchoo doin'?"
I holler, "Come on, Cecil, take a dollar! Come on, Cecil, take a ten! I've finally geared up into a whole buncha big ones And you're actin' like I'm down-shiftin'"
He knows all the under-riders on the boulevard They got to barefoot cruise when it's forty-weight hard They look particularly dead-beat Permanently pale Cecil picks up his butcher knife Waves it at the jail The kid say, "I ain't got no dough, Joe, I just want some OJ" I said, "Don't look at me" (Cuz he was lookin' my way) Cecil wink upon him some juice and some green And the kid walks over and puts the quarter in the pinball machine And he says, "Come on, Cec, gimme a dollar Come on Cecil gimme five I'm in a halfway house on a one-way street And I'm a quarter past left alive"
He can talk about your people in a wonderful way He can talk about your people 'til your hair turns grey Your sisters into mustard She loves to walk the pup She like pickles and a relish She never gets enough A Hershey milkshake Steamin on a stick For a Carte Blanche Sandwich Oh lettuce get thick... It's not because I'm dirty It's not because I'm clean It's not because I kiss the boys behind a magazine... Hey Boys, how 'bout a fight? Here comes Ricky with the girdle on tight And if she dont know your name She knows what you got From your matzo balls To the chicken in the pot.. Chicken in the pot... Chicken in the pot... Chicken in the...
Dooowwwnnn stairs at Danny's All-Star joint They got a jukebox that goes doyt-doyt A finger-snappin' deluxe Make your be-bop bap And your r and b hep-scat
You can't break the rules until you know how to play the game But if you just wanna have a little fun you can mention my name Keep your feet in the street... Your toes in the lawn... But keep your business in your pocket That's where it belongs
Come on, Cecil, take a dollar Come on, Cecil, take a tip Do yourself a favour If she offers it, take it But honey, don't give it away if he don't appreciate it
Danny Boy Composer(s): Frederick Edward Weatherly Originally performed by: Ernestine Schumann-Heink Covered by various other artists
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the roses falling It's you, it's you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying If I am dead, as dead I well may be Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an Avè there for me And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be For you will bend and tell me that you love me And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!

Oh, Daniela, la vie n'est qu'un jeu pour toi Oh, Daniela, pourtant, ne croit pas Que tu peux, oh, Daniela, jouer avec l'amour Sans risquer de te bruler un jour
Oh, Daniela, tu découvriras Oh, Daniela, celui qui saura Partager tes jours, tes rêves et tes peines Pour en faire un univers de joie Ce jour là, ta vie commencera
And She Was Composer(s): David Byrne First release by: Talking Heads - 1985
And she was lying in the grass And she could hear the highway breathing And she could see a nearby factory She's making sure she is not dreaming See the lights of a neighbor's house Now she's starting to rise Take a minute to concentrate And she opens up her eyes
The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was) The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was
And she was drifting through the backyard And she was taking off her dress And she was moving very slowly Rising up above the earth Moving into the universe Drifting this way and that Not touching ground at all Up above the yard
The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was) The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was
She was glad about it... no doubt about it She isn't sure where she's gone No time to think about what to tell them No time to think about what she's done And she was
And she was looking at herself And things were looking like a movie She had a pleasant elevation She's moving out in all directions
The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was) The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was
... And Roses And Roses Composer(s): Ray Gilbert - Dorival Caymmi Performer(s): Andy Williams and multiple other artists
Every day I sent another present Just to let her know how very much I care I wrote a little love note with each present But it didn't seem to get me anywhere
My poor worried heart was almost certain That this love affair would never be Then I sent a dozen yellow roses and From that moment she belonged to me
Roses, roses, roses, I thank all the roses that bloom in the spring Love is a wonderful thing, the rest of my life I will bring her Roses and roses and roses of love
Roses, roses, roses, I thank you for saying what I couldn't say Oh, what a wonderful way to tell her "I love you" each day With roses and roses and roses of love
Roses, roses, roses, I thank all the roses that bloom in the spring Love is a wonderful thing, the rest of my life I will bring her Roses and roses and roses of love (Roses and roses and roses and roses of love)
