Le Ciel Est Fermé Composer(s): Henri Contet - Marguerite Monnot Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Fatigué des gens de la terre Le Bon Dieu, qui est surmené Réfléchit entre deux mystères Et décida de démissionner Il éteignit quelques étoiles Ferma le ciel de haut en bas Et d'un nuage, fit une voile Qui prit le vent et qui l'emporta
Et voilà le soleil de travers... Tous les hommes qui marchent la tête en bas... Et la terre qui s'enroule à l'envers... Et la mer qui s'embête et s'en va... Mais les prières... Les prières continuent à monter Car tous les hommes... Tous les hommes continuent à prier...
Et c'est là qu'elles sont embêtées Les prières qui n'ont rien demandé... Et c'est là qu'on les voit faire la queue Les prières qui attendent le Bon Dieu... Alors, comme elles n'ont rien à faire Les prières Elles se font des confidences Vous venez pourquoi, vous? Moi, je viens de la part d'un dénommé Roméo, et d'une certaine Juliette... Qu'est-ce qu'on leur fait comme ennuis, sur cette terre? On veut pas les laisser s'aimer tranquilles? Pas commode d'arranger leur histoire... Et vous? Moi, pour un gars qu'a de gros ennuis avec son percepteur... J' vois d'ailleurs pas ce que j' peux faire pour lui! Mpfff!... Enfin... Et vous? Moi, secret professionnel! Et vous, là-bas? Moi, Hah! Je viens de la part d'un fou! Enfin, d'un poète... C'est la même chose! D'abord, ce qu'il demande avec la terre, c'est impossible! Et puis, prêcher la bonté, ça fait démodé... Racontez-nous! C'est peut-être drôle?! Si vous voulez! De toutes façons, ça changera jamais rien! Alors, voilà
"Je sais bien que je vous dérange Mais voilà: j'ai besoin de vous! S'il vous plaît, prêtez-moi des anges! Il en faudrait un petit peu partout... Pour le soleil... un par personne! Et pour l'amour... Oh! S'il vous plaît! Tout plein d'amour aux mains des hommes Pour qu'ils en fassent de grand bouquets..."
Et voilà le Bon Dieu revenu Le tonnerre a perdu son emploi Le soleil est passé par-dessus Et voilà que la terre marche droit Ouvre les portes Que l'on porte Le soleil dans les blés Que la terre Toute la terre Tourne enfin sans trembler Et l'amour a poussé dans les champs Et les hommes le cueillaient en chantant Les amants ne mourraient plus jamais C'est pour ça que tout le monde s'aimait...
Quel dommage pour les filles, les garçons Que tout ça ne soit qu'une chanson...
Beyond The Last Mile Composer(s): Rex Griffin Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Ray Price
I'm watching the clock tick the hours away They say that I will hang at the dawn of the day But why should I fear death when it's life anew For dying only takes me much closer to you
You left me in anger and walk by the sea And when they found your body they blamed it on me But you know they were wrong dear so wait for awhile Soon we'll be together Beyond The Last Mile
Stars hide their face to make way for the sun Death it'll soon claim me and make us as one While others are walking the streets with a smile Then I will be walking Beyond The Last Mile
The jury agrees I have taken your life The sentence that they gave me it cut like a knife But I'll face my Maker today with a smile I know that you'll be waiting Beyond The Last Mile
The chaplain is making his last plea to God Soon the numbered steps to the scaffold I'll trod My footsteps won't falter I'll walk with a smile I know that you'll be waiting Beyond The Last Mile
I'm A Sentimental One Composer(s): Philip Green - Purcell Performer(s): Jean Campbell
I'm a sentimental one, I believe in love I like stars that shine at night, I like moons above I'm a sentimental one, I believe in spring April never fails to make me sing
I'm a sentimental one, dreams are down my street I like dusk and candlelight, and my music sweet So let me give you warning, before the harm is done You're dealing with a sentimental one A very, very sentimental one
Beyond The Call Composer(s): David Batteau; Darrell Brown; Kevin Dukes Performer(s): John Farnham
I'm searching for the anger Consider it a gift Open up that window Come betray me with a kiss You have won, if nothing else Rope enough to hang yourself What is that to us?
Go beyond the call of love Beyond the dreams of man I have seen where glory falls At the touch of mercy's hand
The truth you would deny me Lying like a rock How you gonna wake up To the one that you forgot Cover up was your intent Acting like it's accident Isn't it enough
Someday when hearts grown stronger I'll know where darkness wandered But I won't wait much longer
Well, the first time I saw her In a pawn shop window She's my baby, she's my Belinda Now she's gone Someone threw her in the pawn Know what I mean You know I'm talkin `bout my horn
Well, the second time I saw her She's my baby, she's my Belinda I don't mean maybe Now she's gone Someone threw her in the pawn Know what I mean You know I'm talkin `bout my horn
Ooowww!
Well, the first time I saw her In a pawn shop window She's my baby, she's my Belinda Now she's gone Someone threw her in the pawn Know what I mean You know I'm talkin `bout my horn
Well, the second time I saw her She's my baby, she's my Belinda I don't mean maybe Now she's gone Someone threw her in the pawn Know what I mean You know I'm talkin `bout my horn
That big ol' horn That's what I mean Blow man Yeah ...

.... blue horizon Waits a beautiful day Goodbye to things that bore me Joy is waiting for me

Star Of The East Composer(s): Amanda Kennedy - George Cooper Performer(s): Judy Garland; Child So Dear
Star of the east, oh Bethlehem star Guiding us on to heaven afar Sorrow and grief are lulled by thy light Now hope of each mortal in death's lonely night
Fearless and tranquil, we look up to thee Knowing thou beams through eternity Help us to follow where thou still dost guide Pilgrims of earth so wide
Oh, star that leads to God above Whose rays are peace and joy and love Watch o'er us still till life has ceased Beam on bright star, sweet Bethlehem star
Star of the east, thou hope of the soul While round us here the dark billows roll Lead us from sin to glory afar Thou star of the east, thou sweet Bethlehem star

Something Wonderful Happens Performer(s): Nancy Wilson
When your arms caress me Something wonderful happens I can feel a thrill so heavenly! When your lips possess me Something wonderful happens Though it rains, it's beautiful to see!
Even the showers Can bring a thrilling refrain A street without flowers Becomes a garden in Spain!
Strange what love can do, dear And 'cause I love you, dear Something wonderful happens to me Something wonderful happens to me!
Tausend kleine Sterne seh'n Dich jeden Abend schlafen geh'n Tausend kleine Sterne, die möchten Dich so gerne glücklich seh'n Immerzu hält einer unter ihnen Wacht daß Dich niemand kränkt und niemand traurig macht Das sieht er genau jede Nacht
Bevor Du einschläfst, denk immer daran daß Du mir gehörst und daß Du glücklich wirst wie es nur irgendwie geht Bevor Du einschläfst, vergiß bitte nie daß ein guter Stern über uns und uns'rer Liebe steht
Einer unter ihnen ist der kleine Stern, der Träume schenkt Und da ist ein and'rer, der so gut er kann, Dein Schicksal lenkt Durch Dein kleines Fenster, da schaut ein dritter rein Und er sagt Dir leise, Du wirst glücklich sein mit dem, der Dich liebt ganz allein
Bevor Du einschläfst, denk immer daran daß Du mir gehörst und daß Du glücklich wirst wie es nur irgendwie geht Bevor Du einschläfst, vergiß bitte nie daß ein guter Stern über uns und uns'rer Liebe steht
Sleep, My Baby, Sleep Composer(s): Archie Pokan - Eddie Pola - Franz Vienna Performer(s): Judy Garland & Harry Sosnick
There's an old love refrain that is known the whole world over It's sweetness both princes and peasants may claim Like a bird on the wing or a bee in the clover No matter the language the song is the same
Go to sleep, my baby go to sleep While the stars above begin to peep They're lighting the windows of heaven Angels watch over you from the windows of heaven
Mother's watching you too
Sleep, my baby, sleep From the windows of heaven, mother's watching you too
Du bist meine Liebe der Tag mit dir war wunderbar ich weiss genau, dass ich noch nie so glücklich war Und immerzu denk ich daran dass ich Dich nie im Leben, nie vergessen kann
Du bist meine Liebe, du, nur du allein Nur in deiner Liebe kann ich glücklich sein
Seit jenem Tag ist viel gescheh'n Doch sagt mein Herz mir, dass wir uns bald wiederseh'n Bist du auch heut' wer weiss wie weit nicht einer Stunde unserer Träume tut mir leid
Du bist meine Liebe, du, nur du allein Nur in deiner Liebe kann ich glücklich sein Nur in deiner Liebe kann ich glücklich sein
Betty Jo Marshall Composer(s): William Ellis - Dexter Shaffer Performer(s): Connie Francis
Betty Jo Marshall goes to work from nine to five Betty Jo Marshall wears a ring she had to buy Ev'ry evenin' on the other side of town Betty Jo Marshall becomes Lucinda Brown
Betty Jo Marshall was a hometown beauty queen Kiss her mama then she left to chase her dream She wrote home about the good life ev'ry day Town folks all figured Betty Jo was on her way [ dobro ] Now time and trouble took the fire out of her eyes Beauty faded everytime she compromised Cocktail parties stole the rose out of her cheek And left a common face of ninety bucks a week
And there were no fur jackets on a secretary's pay Betty Jo knew she'd have to go back home someday How could she face up to those she'd left behind And all those letters full of lies that she had signed
Clothes and money were the least she could expect And pay was good down at the local discotech Name and address just in case the man comes round New York City and my name's Lucinda Brown [ dobro ] So Betty Jo Marshall sacrifice her high ideals All across the pain Lucinda Brown conceals Did she dare give up her job from nine to five And if she did how long would Lucy Brown survive
Now Betty Jo Marshall made the papers yesterday Go go dancer found floatin' in the bay Local beauty will be brought back to home town Betty Jo Marshall victim of Lucinda Brown Betty Jo Marshall victim of Lucinda Brown

È La Pioggia Che Va ((Adapted from: Remember The Rain (Bob Lind) - 1966)) Composer(s): Bob Lind - Mogol Performer(s): The Rokes - 1966 and multiple other artists
Sotto una montagna di paure e di ambizioni c'è nascosto qualche cosa che non muore Se cercate in ogni sguardo dietro un muro di cartone troverete tanta luce e tanto amore
Il mondo ormai sta cambiando e cambierà di più ma non vedete nel cielo quelle macchie di blu è la pioggia che va e ritorna il sereno
Quante volte ci hanno detto sorridendo tristemente le speranze dei ragazzi sono fumo Sono stanchi di lottare e non credono più a niente proprio adesso che la meta è qui vicino
Ma noi che stiamo correndo avanzeremo di più ma non vedete che il cielo ogni giorno diventa più blu è la pioggia che va e ritorna il sereno è la pioggia che va (e ritorna il sereno)
Non importa se qualcuno sul cammino della vita sarà preda dei fantasmi del passato il denaro ed il potere sono trappole mortali che per tanto e tanto tempo han funzionato
Rote Rosen, Rote Lippen, Roter Wein Performer(s): René Carol
Sind die weißen Segel gesetzt Fahren wir jetzt, fahren wir jetzt Sind die schlanken Boote soweit Sind sie zur Fahrt bereit
Rote Rosen, rote Lippen, roter Wein Und Italiens blaues Meer im Sonnenschein Rote Rosen, rote Lippen, roter Wein Laden uns ein, laden uns ein Rote Rosen, rote Lippen, roter Wein Laden uns ein, laden uns ein
Denn wenn die Sterne stehn Ist Italien doppelt schön Wenn die Nacht herniederfällt Vergißt man die Welt Denn wenn die Sonne sinkt Und das Lied der Lieder klingt Ist schon bald die große Macht Der Liebe erwacht
