You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss A sigh is just a sigh, the fundamental things apply As time goes by ...
An' when two lovers woo, they still say "I love you" On that you can rely, no matter what the future brings As time goes by ...
Moonlight an' love songs never out of date Hearts full of passion, jealousy an' hate Woman needs man and man must have his mate That no one can deny ...
It's still the same old story, a fight for love an' glory A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers As time goes by ...

Do You Believe In Shame?
Composer(s): Simon Lebon - Nick Rhodes - Andy Taylor
Performer(s): Duran Duran
Do you believe in love? Do you believe in shame? And if love can conquer all Then why do we only feel the pain?
I heard you speak my name Heard you singing The Stones Maybe heard you laughing in a line of static On my telephone
So why your eyelids are closed Inside a case of rust And did you have to change All your poets fire into frozen dust
I've tried to justify it to learn from your mistake But where's the stupid lie that has to make it's point With such a pointless waste
Come out
Do you believe in shame? Do you believe in love? And if they taste the same Would you love again or abandon both?
I don't think I ever can Believe my friend has gone Keep saying it's alright I'm going to bring you back But I know I'm wrong
There's nothing I can say There's nothing left to do It's just that lately I feel so damn lonely When I think of you
And it may seem selfish now But I'll hold on to the memory Until all this fear is washed away Do you believe in love? Do you believe in life? 'Cos I believe a little part of you inside of me Will never die...
Le Temps Qui Passe ((aka Privé D'amour (by Christophe) - 1983) ((Adapted from: As Time Goes By (by Frances Williams) - 1931)) Composer(s): Herman Hupfield - Boris Bergman Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1986
Faudrait pas qu't'oublies Une nuit c'est pour une nuit Fini veut dire fini C'est comme ça, que veux-tu que j'y fasse C'est l'temps qui passe Fauché ou les poches pleines On s'dit toujours je t'aime Ça sera toujours comme ça La dessus tu ne peux pas faire l'impasse C'est le temps qui passe Les violons sous la lune Oui ça marche encore J'me grille une autre brune Tu vois j'fais un effort L'homme pour la femme Ça se joue à pile et face C'est chaque chose à sa place C'est toujours la même histoire Ça parle d'amour de gloire A la vie à la mort Ça colle et puis un jour ça s'casse C'est le temps qui passe C'est toujours le même vieux truc Princesse, palace en stuc Amour, impaire et passe C'est beau mais voilà ça s'efface C'est le temps qui passe Les violons sous la lune Oui ça marche encore J'me grille une autre brune Tu vois j'fais un effort L'homme pour la femme Ça se joue à pile et face C'est chaque chose à sa place Faudrait pas qu'tu oublies Une nuit c'est pour une nuit Fini veut dire fini C'est comme ça, que veux-tu que j'y fasse C'est l'temps qui passe
Do You Believe In Magic?
((Japanese Version: Do You Believe in Magic (Arcorhyme) - 2008))
Composer(s): John Sebastian
First release by: The Lovin' Spoonful - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart How the music can free her, whenever it starts And it's magic, if the music is groovy It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll
If you believe in magic don't bother to choose If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues Just go and listen it'll start with a smile It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find How you got there, so just blow your mind
If you believe in magic, come along with me We'll dance until morning 'til there's just you and me And maybe, if the music is right I'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see How the magic's in the music and the music's in me
Yeah, do you believe in magic Yeah, believe in the magic of a young girl's soul Believe in the magic of rock and roll Believe in the magic that can set you free Ohh, talking 'bout magic
Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic Do you believe like I believe Do you believe, believer Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic
A child asks his mother do you love me And it really means will you protect me His mother answers him I love you And it really means You've been a good boy And as the years go by True love will never die
At seventeen a girl says do you love me And it really means will you respect me The teenage boy answers I love you And it really means Can I make love to you And as the years go by True love will never die
I will love you forever I will love you forever
At sixty five his wife says Do you love me And it means I'd like to hear it again Her husband says to her I love you But it really means I love you till the end And as the years go by True love will never die
Now you're asking me if I love you And it really means will I marry you And I answer yes I love you But it really means that I won't be untrue And as the years go by True love will never die
Do You Believe In Love Composer(s): Robert John "Mutt" Lange Performer(s): Huey Lewis & The News
I was walking down a one way street Just a looking for someone to meet One woman who was looking for a man Now I'm hoping that the feeling is right And I'm wondering if you'll stay for the night So I'm coming (I don't wanna be lonely) I wanna love you all over
Do you believe in love Do you believe it's true Do you believe in love Oh you can bet I believe it too
Now the feeling is beginning to grow And the meaning is something you only know If you believe it take my hand and I'll take your heart Now I'm wondering where does true love begin I'm going under so I'm lettin' you in My woman (I don't wanna be lonely) I wanna love you all over
Do you believe in love Do you believe it' true Do you believe in love Oh you can bet I believe it too
I used to have you in a photograph (I'm so glad it's changed) But now I've got you and it's gonna last (Do you believe in love)
Do you believe in love Do you believe it' true Do you believe in love Oh you can bet I believe it too
There's a place in my heart All broken and still Where I may wander alone At the end of the day As the world turns I turn to thoughts of home Though you're far away I imagine How you would smile at this romance And sure enough As the world turns And so to games of chance Take my part in this play You're dealing me words I never could use That strange beginning has no ending When curtain falls we both lose Though we're far apart on this old carousel The ups and downs we share Just remember surely as the world turns In dreams I will be there by your side
As The World Falls Down Composer(s): David Bowie First release by: David Bowie - 1986
There's such a sad love Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel Open and closed within your eyes I'll place the sky within your eyes
There's such a fooled heart Beating so fast in search of new dreams A love that will last within your heart I'll place the moon within your heart
As the pain sweeps through Makes no sense for you Every thrill has gonst Wasn't too much fun at all But I'll be there for you-oo-oo As the world falls down
Falling (As the world) Falling down Falling in love
I'll paint you mornings of gold I'll spin you Valentine evenings Though we're strangers till now We're choosing the path between the stars I'll leave my love between the stars
As the pain sweeps through Makes no sense for you Every thrill has gonst Wasn't too much fun at all But I'll be there for you-oo-oo As the world falls down
Falling (As the world) Falling down Falling As the world falls down Falling Falling Falling Falling in love As the world falls down
Do Ya
Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
First release by: The Move - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
Ahhhhh...
In this life I've seen everything I can see woman
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun
And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides
And I've seen pigs all sittin' watching, picture slides
But I never seen nothing like you
Do ya do ya want my life
Do ya do ya want my love
Do ya do ya want my face
Do ya do ya want my mind
Well I, heard the crowd singin' out of tune,
As they, sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums
But I never heard nothin' like you
In the country where the sky touches down
On the field, she lay her down to rest
In the morning sun
They come a'runnin' just to get a look, just to
Feel to touch her long black hair they don't give a damn
Do ya do ya want my life
Do ya do ya want my love
Do ya do ya want my face
Do ya do ya want my mind
Well I think you understand what I'm trying to say woman
That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day
I've seen enough of the world to know, baby
That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow
Do ya do ya want my life
Do ya do ya want my love
Do ya do ya want my face
Do ya do ya want my mind
Look out baby there's a plane a comin'
As The Sun Still Burns Away Composer(s): Alvin Lee Performer(s): Ten Years After
A thousand cities in the night Each one waiting for the light Ten million people plan their day As the sun still burns away
As the earth just spins in space People plan their daily race As the sun still burns away Few say "thank you for the day" All the people in their ties Forget to look up at the sky They exist another day As the sun still burns away
I wonder just how long well last When the final die is cast Every day brings forth the time When the sun forgets to shine
I see the raven's made Her nest in your eyes She's got you thinking that Her love is a prize And you'll go under from The weight of her lies As the raven flies As the raven flies
She'll bring you stories That just never sound true She'll bring you secrets That were never meant for you And just as you come round She'll send you back through She's in love with you She's in love with you
Darker, darker Don't let her talk her way Into you. Lonely, lonely You know she's only No good for you
I see the raven's made Her nest in your eyes She's got you thinking that Her love is a prize And you'll go under from The weight of her lies As the raven flies As the raven flies As the raven flies As the raven flies
Darlin' come under cover Another night to discover Let's slip where senses gather Let's drift between the sea and sky As the night goes by
Sands shift Orchids so strange In the moonlight Brushing our faces Places where love blooms And dies While the night goes by Oh, and the spirits call Sun upon your shadows fall Tracing every breath we draw
Come into my dreams Come into my dreams Darlin' let's go where the night goes Let's drift where senses gather Let's make this night last forever Into my dreams Into my dreams
Darlin' let's go Where the night goes Time slips Oh darlin' how it flies When the night goes by
All through the night Sirens call Come to me I'll come to you As the night softly goes by bye
Midnight Moon on our shoulder Daybreak Another one older Darlin' heavenly blue Glories fade into view
Let's go Under the stars That are beating Under the moonlight Stars shoot Dusk just a whisper Make this night Last forever Oh how I wonder Where the night goes Oh Let's wonder Where the night goes As the night goes By bye By Bye

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah As the crow flies baby Well, I ain't so far from you As the crow flies baby Well, I ain't so far from you But since I don't have wings I can't get home as fast as I want to Um um um hoo
As the crow flies baby Well, I ain't so far from you As the crow flies baby Well, I ain't so far from you But since I don't have wings I can't get home as fast as I want to
In a dream last night Where I heard you call my name In a dream last night Where I heard you call my name Well, I took it as an omen And I jumped on the very first freight train
Yeah..... as the crow flies
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Well, you don't know baby How I miss your sweet caress Well, you don't know baby How I miss your sweet caress When I'm in your lovin' arms I swear I'm at my very best
As the crow flies baby That's how I'm on my way As the crow flies baby I'm on my way
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
If I don't stop runnin' I can get home for the break of day Get home for the break of day Get home for the break of day Get home for the break of day Get home for the break of day Get home for the break of day Get home for the break of day Get home for the break of day
Do What You Do
Composer(s): Larry DiTomaso - R. Palladino
Performer(s): Jermaine Jackson
Why don't you do what you do When you did what you did to me Love was so good, that it fills up all my needs I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me How could something so right, go so wrong My love, sweet love Why don't you say what you say When you say what you said anymore Your eyes couldn't lie, so long goodbye, close the door I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me How could something so right go so wrong Tell me something I didn't do Why did someone else put you through Did they steal you away like a thief in the night Love like wings, must take flight Why don't they play what they played On the nights you danced with me Remember the one we made love to endlessly I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me How could something so right go so wrong
As Tears Go By ((Danish Version: Se Ud På Børnene (by Bamses Venner) - 1977)) Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Andrew Loog Oldham - Keith Richards First release by: Marianne Faithfull - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
It is the evening of the day I sit and watch the children play Smiling faces I can see But not for me I sit and watch As tears go by
My riches can't buy everything I want to hear the children sing All I hear is the sound Of rain falling on the ground I sit and watch As tears go by
It is the evening of the day I sit and watch the children play Doing things I used to do They think are new I sit and watch As tears go by
Voordat ik ga slapen zeg ik jou goedenacht, slaap maar gauw In het donker zie ik zonder licht heel dichtbij jouw gezicht Heerlijk om te doen alsof je hier bent, laat me nog eens strelen door je haar Ook al ben je mijlenver van mij, in gedachten ben je heel dichtbij
Hoelang zal het duren voor ik jou weer zie Om te tijd te doden zing ik deze melodie Hoelang zal het duren voor je bij me bent 'k Zie je nog steeds voor me zoals ik je heb gekend
'k Houd van jou een foto in m'n hand uit een ver en vreemd land Lachend kijk je mij in stilte aan en ik denk: hoe zal het gaan Kon ik nu je stem nog maar eens horen, woorden die ik nimmer meer vergeet Al je brieven lees ik nog eens door en 't is net alsof ik jou weer hoor
Hoelang zal het duren voor ik jou weer zie Om te tijd te doden zing ik deze melodie Hoelang zal het duren voor je bij me bent 'k Zie je nog steeds voor me zoals ik je heb gekend
