That's What You Mean To Me Composer(s): George Graff Jr. - George H. Gartlan
I know that you love me, you know I love you But you wonder, if days to be Will find us the same, let me answer, dear Do you know what you mean to me?
Every rose has it's fragrance The skies have the stars And the night has the day to be The day has the sunshine, but I have you And you're all that and more to me
All that the sunshine means to the rose And blossoms mean to the tree All that the spring time to the earth And rivers mean to the sea All that their singing means to the birds And honey means to the bee All that a girl ever meant to a boy That's what you mean to me

Last night as I lay sleeping, a dream it came to me I thought I heard a piper play the sweetest melody People gathered round a dancing and singing so merrily Theyre all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
From the busy heart of Glasgow to Lochranza by the sea Oer the water to Kintyre, the prettiest place youll ever see To the pubs and bars of Oban, theyre all proud of their old country Theyre all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
On the road to Drumnadrochit, theres music everywhere For the piper plays for Nessie a sweet and tender air Through Glengarrys running rivers, cascading to the sea To the tranquillity of Ullapool, ah now thats Scotland to me Come wild and windy weather, Caledonia ever free
When the fiddle plays from Shetland, they heard the pipers song They came oer the sea to join him, they danced and they sang along From the granite city southward, on the road to bonny Dundee Theyre all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
Now if you ever come to Scotland, ever come to visit my home You can hear the piper playing, standing all alone For he plays from Edinburgh Castle, that looks out to the sea Hell have you singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
Faithfully Composer(s): Jonathan Cain Performer(s): Journey; and various other artists
Highway run Into the midnight sun Wheels go round and round You're on my mind Restless hearts Sleep alone tonight Sendin' all my love Along the wire
They say that the road Ain't no place to start a family Right down the line it's been you and me And lovin' a music man Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me I'm forever yours-faithfully
Circus life Under the big top world We all need the clowns To make us smile Through space and time Always another show Wondering where I am Lost without you
And being apart ain't easy on this love affair Two strangers learn to fall in love again I get the joy Of rediscovering you Oh girl you stand by me I'm forever yours-faithfully
That's What The Red, White And Blue Means (To Ev'ry True Heart In The USA)
That's What The Red, White And Blue Means (To Ev'ry True Heart In The USA) Composer(s): Robert Levenson - E.E. Bagley
Every stripe that's in the flag means something dear to me For it's the emblem of our land and of democracy And everytime I see Old Glory Then I want to tell the story Just as in the days of old the tale was told to me
Everyone that's in the land should keep in memry clear Just what the meaning is of that old flag we love so dear For every single word is thrilling 'Cause it shows we all are willing when there comes a time for it to do our bit with cheer
Red is for the soldier boys their muskets swining while they're sining songs of cheer White is for mothers while their hearts are pining smiles are shining through each tear Blue is for the jackies on the ocean sailing never failing once to win the day That's what the Red and White and Blue means to every true heart in the U.S.A.

Je ne suis pas beau, je ne suis pas joli

Tu es encore pire que moi
Je sais, ta mère ne dit pas ça
Mais quand je t'épous'rai, elle s'en ira
Les copains sont jaloux
Me traitent de fou
Je t'assure que je suis un mauvais mari
Trop tard, au maire j'ai "oui"
J'ai la corde au cou, pour la vie

Thats What Love Will Do Composer(s): Trevor Peacock Performer(s): Joe Brown
That yellow dress you wore When we went dancing Sunday nights That smile you give me In the movies when they dim the lights Ive tried in vain to wash the memry from my brain I cant forget you And thats what love will do Thats what love will do
The spins we took together On my beat-out motorbike The look your pa would give me When we got back late at night Ive tried in vain to wash the memry from my brain I cant forget you And thats what love will do Thats what love will do
I never see you except now and then But when I see you The longing starts all over again
Put out the candle And tomorrow it looks bright again But when I lost you It could never be put right again What can I do? My memry wont let go of you I cant forget you And thats what love will do Thats what love will do
Ive tried in vain to wash the memry from my brain I cant forget you And thats what love will do Thats what love will do
That yellow dress you wore When we went dancing Sunday nights That smile you give me In the movies when they dim the lights Ive tried in vain to wash the memry from my brain I cant forget you And thats what love will do Thats what love will do
Cala A Boca, Bárbara
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Rey Guerra
First release by: Chico Buarque - 1973
Ela sabe dos caminhos Dessa minha terra No meu corpo se escondeu Minhas matas percorreu Os meus rios Os meus braços Ele éo o meu guerreiro Nos colcões de terra Nas bandeiras, bons lençóis Nas trincheiras, quantos ais, ai Cala a boca Olha o fogo Cala a boca Olha a relva Cala a boca, Bárbara Cala a boca, Bárbara
Ele sabe dos segredos Que ninguém ensina Onde guardo o meu prazer Em que pântanos beber As vazantes As correntes Nos colchões de ferro Ele é o meu parceiro Nas campanhas, nos currais Nas entranhas, quantos ais, ai Cala a boca Olha a noite Cala a boca Olha o frio Cala a boca, Bárbara Cala a boca, Bárbara
Faith Of The Heart Composer(s): Diane Warren Performer(s): Rod Stewart; Susan Ashton
"The magic of believing is this
if we really believe in ourselves our heart will take us to the highest plateau of personal success Nothing will stop us as long as we have faith in our hearts"
Its been a long road - Getting from there to here Its been a long time, but my time is finally near
And I can feel the change in the wind right now Nothings in my way And theyre not gonna hold me down no more No, theyre not gonna hold me now
Chorus: 'Cause I got faith of the heart Im going where my heart will take me I got faith to believe I can do anything I got strength of the soul And no ones gonna bend or break me I can reach any star I got faith Faith of the heart
Its been a long night, trying to find my way Been through the darkness now I finally have my day
And I will see my dream come alive at last I will touch the sky And theyre not gonna hold me down no more No, theyre not gonna change my mind
Chorus
Ive known a wind so cold Ive seen the darkest days But now the winds I feel are only winds of change Ive been through the fire and Ive been through the rain But Ill be fine
Chorus
'Cause I got faith of the heart Im going where my heart will take me I got faith to believe And no ones gonna bend or break me I can reach any star I got faith - faith of the heart Its been a long road
Christmas Carousel Composer(s): Peggy Lee Performer(s): Peggy Lee
Christmas is a carousel And round and round we go Busy doin', wrapping things For ev'ryone we know Trim the house and trim the tree And let the spirit show Sing some carols loud and clear And set the lights aglow
Hang your stocking for Saint Nick And he will fill it up Don't forget to leave some cookies And a Christmas cup Leave some food for all his reindeer And the Christmas mouse Leave a little bit of cheese Somewhere around the house
Now I think that we're all set So let's all take a ride Don't you feel the Christmas joy That makes you glad inside Hold your candycane way out As round and round we go And if you should catch the ring It's made of mistletoe
Fais-Moi Valser Composer(s): Charles Borel-Clerc Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Le jazz reprend pour nous sa valse d'amour Pourtant, du beau roman, c'est le dernier jour J'ai mal, mais devant toi, je n'ose pas pleurer Puisque tout est fini, avant de nous quitter
{Refrain:} Fais-moi valser une dernière fois Serre-moi tout près de toi Dis-moi tout bas de jolis mots d'amour Les mêmes qu'au premier jour Berce-moi doucement comme un oiseau blessé Dans tes bras, un instant, je veux encor rêver Comme un reflet de mon bonheur passé Mon amour, fais-moi valser
Sur terre; tu sais bien, je n'avais que toi! Tu veux déjà partir... Je ne comprends pourquoi... Chéri, elle attendra... Je l'ai fait si souvent... Va-t'en vers ton bonheur, si tu veux... mais avant
{Refrain}
Malgré que mon tourment pour toi, compte peu... Je n'ai qu'un seul désir... que tu sois heureux! Je vivrai désormais avec ton souvenir... Adieu mon bel ami... mais avant de partir
That's What Life Is All About Composer(s): Ian Levine - Toni Wine Performer(s): Petula Clark; Ron Dante
Sometimes I watch you when you're sleepin' Wonderin' how I got so lucky Baby, being here with you like this Should I reach out and touch you softly Or should I close my eyes and wait awhile Baby, till you wake me with a kiss?
Always you Always me Always us Always we...
That's what life is all about Finding someone is finding out That love is what it's all about
What do I need? I don't need anything Why should I leave when I have everything Baby, every time we sing our song? Thanks for the love you give unselfishly All that is mine is yours, you know it is Oooh, what a feeling knowing we belong
Always you Always me Always us Always we...
That's what life is all about Finding someone is finding out That love is what it's all about
Baby, being here with you like this...
Always you Always me Always us Always we...
That's what life is all about Finding someone is finding out That love is what it's all about
Love is what it's all about Love is what it's all about Love is what it's all about...
Cajun Moon
Composer(s): J.J. Cale
First release by: J.J. Cale - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
Cajun moon, where does your power lie As you move across the southern sky You took my babe way too soon What have you done, Cajun moon Someday babe, when you want your man And you find him gone, just like the wind Don't trouble your mind whatever you do 'Cause Cajun moon took him from you When daylight fades, the night comes on You can hear the silence of this song Don't trouble your mind whatever you do 'Cause he got me like he got you
That's What Life Is All About Composer(s): Bing Crosby - Ken Barnes - Les Reed - Peter Dacre Performer(s): Bing Crosby
My life is like an open book And as I glance back through the pages I see the chances, I often took Though I was never too courageous
Life's never easy all the time The hills you climb Often lead no where Of ups and downs I've had my share That's what life is all about
I've known success Some mild acclaim And thinking of it gives me pleasure And I've had some stress The scars remain When Lady Luck gave me short measure
When things went wrong I'd fake a smile But that's my style 'Cause I've been around And having been being around, I've found That's what life is all about
It's been a joy, I can't deny Though some may think I took things lightly But man and boy, I look on High And never fail to thank Him nightly
When I look back, I can't forget The friends I've met And the things they've done I thank 'em all It's been great fun As for me, I have no doubt That's what life is all about
