Love Is The Foundation Composer(s): William C. Hall Performer(s): Loretta Lynn; Conway Twitty; Charlie Louvin
I've seen him as he awakens in the morning He reaches out his hand and without a word As his fingers softly fall upon my face He lights the flame of desire and makes me want him
And love is the foundation we lean on All you need is love to ease your mind And does it have to be right to be called love When he gives me more loving than a lifetime of looking could ever find And love is the foundation we lean on ...

Miss You Nights Composer(s): David Townsend Originally performed by: Cliff Richard Covered by various other artists
Ive had many times I can tell you Times when innocence Id trade for company And children saw me crying I thought Id had my share of that But these miss you nights Are the longest
Midnight diamonds Stud my heaven Southward burning Lie the jewels that eye my place And the warm winds That embrace me Jst as surely kissed your face Yeah these miss you nights Are the longest
How I miss you Im not likely to tell Im a man and cold day light Buys the pride Id rather sell All my secrets Are wasted affair You know them well
Thinking of my going How to cut the thread And leave it all behind Looking windward for my compass I take each day as it arrives But these miss you nights Are the longest
Lay down all thought of your surrender Its only me whos killing time Lay down all dreams and themes once remembered Its just the same This miss you game Yeah these miss you nights Are the longest
Tous les matins et tous les soirs
Paris marche sur les pieds Paris me croise sans me voir
me bousculant sans se soucier Des billets de loterie nationale que je lui tends depuis 20 ans J'me souviens pas qu' la capitale un jour lui sourit en passant
Quand ma voix se veut amicale je m'en repens au même instant Car je vois l'heure machinale me signifié qu'il est grand temps Qui l'est grand temps parce que le temps est la conscience du passant Et c'est surtout pas en parlant qui pourrait bien Gagner du temps
Et pourtant j'aime les passants il me rappelle mes amis Ce que j'aurais eu si la vie n'avait pas fait que des passants Y a les poètes les fous les dignes et ceux qui change tous les jours Il laisse leurs rêves à la consigne pour les décrocher au retour
Parce que le temps évidemment est la conscience du passant C'est surtout pas en rêvant qui pourrait bien Gagner du temps
Et sur les quais je les attends j'attends l'éternel amoureux Qui tôt les matins tristement descend du train de neuf heures deux J'attends la fille de neuf heures quatre celle qui arrive toujours trop tard Pour qu'un jour elle entendre battre le cur de l'éternel fuyant
Dire que moi seul sait qu'il se cherche dans la cohue des morts vivants Je voudrais leur tendre la perche oui mais que faire contre le temps
Parce que le temps évidemment n'en a que faire des amants C'est surtout pas en s'aimant qui pourrait bien Gagner du temps
Mais moi je reste le vieillard celui qui vient vous ennuyer Que l'on voit s'éloigner pénard dès qu'on s'empresse d'oublier Parce que le temps évidemment est la conscience du passant C'est surtout pas en s' souvenant qui pourrait bien Gagner du temps Gagner du temps Gagner du temps Gagner du temps Gagner du temps Gagner du temps Gagner du temps Gagner du temps Gagner du temps Gagner du temps Gagner du temps Gagner du temps Gagner du temps Gagner du temps
Love Is The Drug Composer(s): Andy Mackay - Bryan Ferry First release by: Roxy Music - 1975 Covered by multiple other artists
T´ain´t no big thing To wait for the bell to ring T´ain´t no big thing The toll of the bell Aggravated - spare for days I troll downtown the red light place Jump up bubble up - what´s in store Love is the drug and I need to score Showing out, showing out, hit and run Boy meets girl where beat goes on Stitched up tight, can´t shake free Love is the drug, got a hook on me Oh oh catch that buzz Love is the drug i´m thinking of Oh oh can´t you see Love is the drug for me Late that night I park my car Stake my place in the singles bar Face to face, toe to toe Heart to heart as we hit the floor Lumber up, limbo down The locked embrace, the stumble round I say go, she say yes Dim the lights, you can guess the rest Oh oh catch that buzz Love is the drug i´m thinking of Oh oh can´t you see Love is the drug, got a hook in me Oh oh catch that buzz Love is the drug I´m thinking of Oh oh can´t you see Love is the drug for me
Miss You Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Originally performed by: The Rolling Stones Covered by various other artists
I've been holding out so long I've been sleeping all alone Lord I miss you I've been hanging on the phone I've been sleeping all alone I want to kiss you
Well, I've been haunted in my sleep You've been starring in my dreams Lord I miss you I've been waiting in the hall Been waiting on your call When the phone rings It's just some friends of mine that say "Hey, what's the matter man? We're gonna come around at twelve With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you We're gonna bring a case of wine Hey, let's go mess and fool around You know, like we used to"

Tu avevi scritto con me pagine piene d'amore tante parole che poi sono mancate fra noi la nostra storia può non finire così basta un sorriso, lo sai ricominciamo, se vuoi Avevi scritto con me pagine piene d'amore tante parole che poi sono mancate fra noi la nostra storia può non finire così basta un sorriso, lo sai ricominciamo, se vuoi Ma domani potrò gridare a tutto questo mondo che io ti voglio tanto tanto bene e non amo che te ma domani potrò gridare a tutto questo mondo che ti voglio tanto tanto bene tanto tanto bene.

Gabrielle Composer(s): Tony Cole Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Gabrielle, tu brûles mon esprit Ton amour étrangle ma vie Et l'enfer, devient comme un espoir Car dans tes mains je meurs chaque soir Je veux partager autre chose que l'amour dans ton lit Et entendre la vie et ne plus m'essouffler sous tes cris Oh fini... fini pour moi Je ne veux plus voir mon image dans tes yeux
{Refrain:} Dix ans de chaîne sans voir le jour c'était ma peine forçat de l'amour Et bonne chance à celui qui veut ma place {oui ma place} Dix ans de chaîne sans voir le jour c'était ma peine forçat de l'amour J'ai refusé, mourir d'amour enchaîné
Gabrielle, tu flottes dans mon cur C'est une illusion de douceur Et tu chantes, c'est la voix d'une enfant Avec laquelle tu glaces mon sang Je veux t'expliquer tu confonds et le jour et la nuit Je veux t'approcher, mais tu tournes le dos et tu t'enfuis Oh sais-tu vraiment ce que tu veux faire Je ne serai plus l'esclave de ta chair
Je Suis À Toi ((aka Une Poussière Dans Le Coeur (Line Renaud) - 1969)) ((Adapted from: Can't Take My Eyes Off You (Frankie Valli) - 1967)) Composer(s): Robert Crewe Jr. - Robert Gaudio - Rosario Marino-Atria Performer(s): Sandra Kim - 1993
Versions In Other Languages: 1967 - Preciso Olhar Pra Você (Jean Carlo) 1968 - Per Ricominciare (Mina)
Tu m'fais changer comme tu veux Je suis à toi quand tu veux Je suis sirène ou tigresse Cela dépend de ta tendresse Dès que tu as envie de moi Tu me fais tourner entre tes doigts Et moi j'aime tellement ça Que je me roule dans tes bras
Il suffit que tu retardes Et tous les murs se lézardent J'te vois dans tous les fossés Ou dans les bras d'une poupée Mais dès que tu passes cette porte C'est un bonheur fou qui m'emporte Et soudain je ne sens plus Cette angoisse qui me tue
Je suis à toi Pourquoi chercher ailleurs Ce que t'as déjà Je suis facile, docile Si tu ne cherches pas À te jouer de moi ...
Oh Je suis à toi Tu n' trouv'ras pas ailleurs Ce que t'as chez moi Je suis geisha, gitane Ou Lolita et chaque nuit Je suis à toi ...
J'ai eu mon éclair de chance En faisant ta connaissance Même s'il a fallu arracher Ma liberté au monde entier Pour toi, je n'ai jamais déserté Le grand lit où tu m'as aimée Alors je n'imagine même pas De vivre une seconde sans toi
Je suis à toi Pourquoi chercher ailleurs Ce que t'as déjà Je suis facile, docile Si tu ne cherches pas A te jouer de moi ...
Oh Je suis à toi Tu n' trouv'ras pas ailleurs Ce que t'as chez moi Je suis geisha, gitane Ou Lolita et chaque nuit Je suis à toi ...
Je suis à toi Pourquoi chercher ailleurs Ce que t'as déjà Je suis facile, docile Si tu ne cherches pas A te jouer de moi ...
Miss The Mississippi And You Composer(s): Bill Haley Performer(s): Emmylou Harris and various other artists
I'm growing tired on the big city lights Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights In all my dreams I am roaming once more Back to my home on the old river shore I am sad and weary, far away from home Miss the Mississippi and you
Days are dark and dreary Everywhere I go Miss the Mississippi and you
Roaming the wide world over Always along and blue Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's door Miss the Mississippi and you
I'm growing tired on the big city lights Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights In all my dreams I am roaming once more Back to my home on the old river shore I am sad and weary, far away from home Miss the Mississippi and you
Days are dark and dreary Everywhere I go Miss the Mississippi and you
Ozark Mountain Jubilee Composer(s): Scott Anders; Roger Murrah Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys
I hear a rooster crowin' It's a frosty mornin' I can almost see the sign Goin' so fast I can't stop I'm just a stones-throw from Little Rock Headin' for that Missouri line
Don't need a map to get there You can get there from anywhere When you're goin' in your head I can see the arms outreachin' Just like the day I was leavin' It's been oh so many years
Let me get on the Frisco Silver Dollar Line Take my time And see all I can see Fiddler rosin up your bow We'll have our own Ozark Mountain Jubilee
If I can't be a favorite son I'll be the prodigal one 'Cause I've been gone too long Oh how the years have flown by Oh how I've realized How much of me is gone
Love Is The Answer Composer(s): Todd Rundgren - Willie Wilcox - Roger Powell First release by: Utopia - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists
Name your price A ticket to paradise I can't stay here anymore
And I've looked high and low I've been from shore to shore to shore If there's a shortcut, I'd have found it But there's no easy way around it
Light of the world, shine on me Love is the answer Shine on us all, set us free Love is the answer
Who knows why Someday we all must die We're all homeless boys and girls
And we are never heard It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely world People turn their heads and walk on by Tell me is it worth just another try?
Light of the world, shine on me Love is the answer Shine on us all, set us free Love is the answer
Tell me, are we alive or a just a dying planet? What are the chances? Ask the man in your heart for the answers
And when you feel afraid, love one another When you've lost your way, love one another And when you're all alone, love one another And when you're far from home, love one another And when you're down and out, love one another And when your hope runs out, love one another And when you need a friend, love one another And when you're near the end, love We got to love We got to love one another
Miss Sun Composer(s): David Paich Performer(s): Boz Scaggs; The Average White Band; Toto
Been thinking 'bout you all night Guess you got me in your spell But I think that I'll be allright Even if I don't get well....
Hey, Miss Sun What could I say I tried to hold you but the moon got in the way It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms....
I can still remember What you told me with your eyes One kiss Now it's down to this Guess it's time you realize
Hey, Miss Sun, what could I say I tried to hold you but the moon got in the way It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms Has you back in my arms.....
Hey, Miss Sun What could I say I tried to hold you but the moon got in the way It won't be long before the morning Has you back in my arms, In my arms..... ooh.... ooh.... ah.... ah....ahh Yeah..... yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, Miss Sun What could I say I tried to hold you but the moon got in my way It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms....
One kiss is what I need..... One kiss.... give it to me...... It won't be long until the morning has you...... Won't be long until the morning has you back in my arms......
One kiss....I realize One kiss....I can see it in your eyes
Oh, it won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms.....
Oye Guitarra Mía Composer(s): Ramon Arcusa; Manuel de la Calva Performer(s): José Feliciano; Nydia Caro; Angela Carrasco
Oye guitarra mía tu que sabes hablar mejor quiero que tu le digas lo que siente mi corazón Oye guitarra mía tu que sabes hablar mejor quiero que tu le digas lo que siento yo por su amor
Dile que la luz del día dile que el amanecer dile que cada momento me recuerda su querer me recuerda su querer
Oye guitarra mía.....
Y que al contemplar la noche con mi alma enamorada la negrura de los cielos me recuerda su mirada me recuerda su mirada
Oye guitarra mía.....
Dile que en la madrugada recuerdo sus frases bellas mientras muero en mis suspiros con la luz de las estrellas con la luz de las estrellas
Oye guitarra mía.....
Dile que mientras yo duermo ella está en todos mis sueños no preguntes que me pasa si es que triste me despierto es que al despertar la pierdo
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
