Love Is Stronger Far Than We ((Adapted from: Plus Fort Que Nous (by Nicole Croisille & Pierre Barouh) - 1966)) Composer(s): Francis Lai - Pierre Barouh Performer(s): Astrud Gilberto - 1969 and multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages: 1970 - Vår Lust Var Starkare Än Vi (by Sylvia Vrethammar) 1971 - Al Cuore Non Comandi Mai (by Mina)
We tell ourselves another season We turn away and find the reason We close our eyes to what we see But love is stronger far than we
When we are close the world is singin' And when we touch the moonlight is wingin' And there's no way to disagree For love is stronger far than we
When hearts are meant for caring And lives are meant for sharing Then we are joined by destiny For love is stronger far than we
Yes, we may say another season May say goodbye and find the reason But love decides how things must be For love is stronger far than we ... Love is stronger far than we
Miss Sarajevo Composer(s): Sonny Bono; Adam Clayton; The Edge; Brian Eno; Larry Mullen Jr. Originally performed by: Passengers Covered by: George Michael
Is there a time for keeping a distance A time to turn your eyes away Is there a time for keeping your head down For getting on with your day
Is there a time for kohl and lipstick A time for cutting hair Is there a time for high street shopping To find the right dress to wear
Here she comes Heads turn around Here she comes To take her crown
Is there a time to walk for cover A time for kiss and tell Is there a time for different colors Different names you find it hard to spell
Is there a time for first communion A time for east 17 Is there a time to turn the mecca Is there a time to be a beauty queen
Here she comes Beauty plays the crown Here she comes Surreal in her crown
Here she comes Heads turn around Here she comes
Luciano Pavarotti: Dici che il fiume trova la via al mare E come il fiume giungerai a me Oltre i confini e le terre assetate Dici che come fiume come fiume L'amore giunger L'amore E non so pi pregare E nell'amore non so pi sperare E quell'amore non so pi aspettare
Bono: Is there a time for tying ribbons A time for Christmas trees Is there a time for laying tables When the night is set to freeze

Avec notre passé pour guide On se devrait d'être lucide Mais notre méfiance est à bout L'amour est bien plus fort que nous
Qu'on espère ou qu'on se résigne Quand il le veut, il nous désigne Voilà ça devait être à nous L'amour est bien plus fort que nous
Quand tu es près de moi, qu'y faire? Le temps s'habille de mystère Et le vent du soir est plus doux L'amour est bien plus fort que nous
Vivre libre en un marécage Ou vivre heureux dans une cage Qu'importe il fait son choix sans nous L'amour est bien plus fort que nous
On croyait qu'il pourrait suffire Pour ne plus aimer de le dire Pourtant ça devait être à nous L'amour est bien plus fort que nous
Avec notre passé pour guide On croyait qu'il pourrait suffire On se devrait d'être lucide Pour ne plus aimer de le dire Notre méfiance est à bout Voilà ça devait être à nous L'amour est bien plus fort que nous
Miss Otis Regrets Composer(s): Cole Porter Originally performed by: Douglas Byng Covered by various other artists
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today, madam Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today She is sorry to be delayed but last evening down in Lover's Lane she strayed, madam Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone, madam She ran to the man who had led her so far astray And from under her velvet gown She drew a gun and shot her love down, madam Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail, madam They strung her upon the old willow across the way And the moment before she died She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam...... Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today
Oye Con quien te crees que estas hablando A quien estas amenazando Que te marchas para siempre, Que no vuelves nunca mas
Oye Que yo puedo querer mucho Pero amenazas yo no escucho Porque no voy a permitirte Que me lleves por delante
Mira que te estas equivocando Y esta vez no voy a perdonarte Que el amor asi se va gastando Mira que se rompe al maltratarle Se cuanto te quiero y no lo niego Se que si te vas voy a extrañarte Pero si cruzas esa puerta Yo la cerrare para olvidarte
Oye Que de verdad me estas perdiendo Y si me quieres no comprendo El porque querer probarme Que dominas nuestro amor
Oye Que tu actitud no va conmigo Y aunque me duela yo te olvido Porque no voy a permitirte Que me lleves por delante

Love Is Like Oxygen Composer(s): Trevor Griffin - Andy Scott First release by: The Sweet - 1978
Love is like oxygen You get too much you get too high Not enough and you're gonna die Love gets you high
Time on my side I got it all I've heard that pride Always comes before a fall There's a rumour goin round the town That you don't want me around I can't shake off my city blues Every way I turn I lose
Love is like oxygen You get too much you get too high Not enough and you're gonna die Love gets you high
Time is no healer If you're not there Lonely fever Sad words in the air
Some things are better left unsaid I'm gonna spend my days in bed I'll walk the streets at night To be hidden by the city lights, city lights

Hey you, listen to me I got a lot of truth I want to tell you I just met a woman who turned me upside down The rivers turn in their beds Flowers bloom where she treads She turns an awful lot of heads When she comes to town
Miss Grace when you walk by You're the twinkle in my eye There's no need to wonder why I've fallen for you
Ooh ooh ooh Miss Grace Satin and perfume and lace The minute I saw your face I knew that I loved you
Strangest thing of all you see Is that this could happen to me Lady Grace she said she'll be so fine Someday I'll make her mine all mine
Ooh ooh ooh Miss Grace Satin and perfume and lace The minute I saw your face I knew that I loved you
Ooh ooh ooh Miss Grace Satin and perfume and lace The minute I saw your face I knew that I loved you

Quand je l'ai sifflée au feu rouge
Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Eddie Holland First release by: The Supremes - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
The love bug done bit me Didn't mean for him to get me Woo, get up in the morning And I'm filled with desire No, no, I can't stop the fire Love is a real life wire Ooh, it's a burning sensation Far behind imagination
Love is like an itching in my heart Tearing it all apart Just an itching in my heart And baby, I can't scratch it Keeps me sighing, ooh Keeps me yearning
No, mama can't help me No, daddy can't help me I've been bitten by the love bug And I need some information To help me out this situation
Now, when you're ill You take a pill When you're thirsty Drink your fill What you gonna do When love gets a hold A hold on you Love is like an itching in my heart And baby, I can't scratch it
Love is a nagging irritation Causing my heart complication Love is a growing infection And I don't know the correction Got me rocking and reeling And I can't shake the feeling
Love is like an itching in my heart Tearing it all apart Just an itching in my heart And baby, I can't scratch it Keeps me sighing, ooh Keeps me yearning
Keeps me burning Keeps me tossing Keeps me turning Keeps me yearning
I've been bitten by the love bug And I need some information To help me out this situation Love is a nagging irritation Causing my heart complication

Overjoyed Composer(s): Stevie Wonder Performer(s): Stevie Wonder; and various other artists
Over time, I've building my castle of love Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason I've gone much too far for you now to say That I've got to throw my castle away
Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming The sandman has come from too far away For you to say come back some other day
And though you don't believe that they do They do come true For did my dreams Come true when I looked at you And maybe too, if you would believe You too might be Overjoyed, over loved, over me
Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover I've come much too far for me now to find The love that I've sought can never be mine
And though you don't believe that they do They do come true For did my dreams Come true when I looked at you And maybe too, if you would believe You too might be Overjoyed, over loved, over me
And though the odds say improbable What do they know for in romance All true love needs is a chance And maybe with a chance you will find You too like I Overjoyed, over loved, over you, over you
