The Letter That Never Reached Home Composer(s): Edgar Leslie - Bernie Grossman - Archie Gottler
Just after the fray where brave soldiers lay upon the field their comrades came to carry them away they picked up a note some poor fellow wrote they read it with a tear dimmed eye 'twas a soldier's last good bye
He's only just one a husband or son who knows but what he left before his work on earth was done but some one may yearn for some one's return and never know just where he went or the message that he sent
Just an old fashioned letter that lay on the ground it came from a soldier boy's heart before he ever could send it he had to end it "I love you" was all he could start It was found without an address not even a name, so his message will never be known only God in His might, know's who waiting tonight for the letter that never reached home
Chaque Fois Que J'aime
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Chaque fois que j'aime Tout m'enivre et tout me prends Pourtant c'est toujours pareil et différent
Chaque fois que j'aime Je redécouvre encore la vie Et je suis prêt à faire mille folies C'est comme un premier soleil qui me brûle Un de ces jours merveilleux de printemps Qui me tire d'un sommeil ridicule Le coeur battant Comme un enfant
Chaque fois que j'aime Je sais bien que c'est pour toujours Et je donne à coeur veux-tu de cet amour C'est toujours de même Je n'ai rien connu de plus beau Car chaque fois que j'aime c'est nouveau
Chaque fois que j'aime Tout en moi paraît anormal Et mon coeur frappe si fort qu'il m'en fait mal
Chaque fois que j'aime J'entre dans un monde fermé Où la raison d'être est aimer pour aimer Je perds la notion du temps et des choses Je rêve encore un peu plus chaque jour Et les questions que souvent je me pose Tournent autour De mon amour
Chaque fois que j'aime Mon bonheur me semble si grand Que je crois n'avoir jamais aimé autant C'est toujours de même J'arrête ma vie et le temps Car chaque fois que j'aime
Chaque fois que j'aime Chaque fois que j'aime J'ai vingt ans
Funky Fever Composer(s): Terry Ryan; John Sterling Performer(s): The Eric Burdon Band
I've been looking for my baby Since I don't know when Can't seem to hide this feeling I got deep down within
She took away my love She took away my pride She gives me funky fever I've got deep down inside
Sometimes she makes me happy sometimes she makes me blue She gives me funky fever Sometimes I get the funky flu
Now I don't need my baby 'Cause she told me what to do If you got that funky woman You get the funky fever, too
Hey, funky fever Hey, funky fever Love that woman, too She gives me funky fever Don't know what I'm gonna do I love that funky fever I love that woman, too I got that funky fever Gonna give it all to you

Chaque fois tu m' proposes une affaire en or Chaque fois ton occasion est un trésor Chaque fois ton crédit bat tous les records Es-tu vraiment garagiste ou sur de charité
Mais chaque fois la note est un peu plus salée Chaque fois pour une bougie encrassée Et chaque fois ma voiture ne fait pas l'été Sur l'autoroute, sur le bas côté Je suis en panne Et puis à marcher Vers la station qui va m'escroquer
Chaque fois je repars par le premier train Chaque fois deuxième classe avec puce à chien Chaque fois y a pire que moi mais je me plains On est toujours le pauvre de quelqu'un Je fais pas sale Je suis prêt à tuer Le premier qui viendra pour me remorquer
Chaque fois tu m' proposes une affaire en or Chaque fois ton occasion est un trésor Chaque fois ton crédit bat tous les records
Chaque fois tu m' proposes une affaire en or Chaque fois ton occasion est un trésor Chaque fois ton crédit bat tous les records

The Lesson Composer(s): David M. Performer(s): Vikki Carr
This is the lesson taught to me A long time ago at my mother's knee She said, someday someone who loves you Will make you cry Though he loves you he'll hurt you Till you feel you could die But if he says forgive me Forgive if you can For you are his woman And he is your man When you're looking for roses There are thorns you will meet And remember my child Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet Well it's finally happened Now it's my turn to cry Oh my darling you've hurt me Till I feel I could die But you're saying forgive me And I understand For I am your woman And you are my man Don't tell me about heartache I've cried my share of tears I've had my share of rain But after the storm No rain will appear I just know when you hold me My whole world is complete And the lesson is clear Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet And the lesson is clear Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet

Just like Gardenia and the Mighty Slug Just like Gardenia and the Mighty Slug

Tills jag blev väckt av telefon mitt i en snygg entré

The Legend Of Xanadu Composer(s): Alan Blaikley - Ken Howard First release by: Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich - 1968
You'll hear my voice, on the wind, 'cross the sand If you should return, to that black barren land That bears the name of Xanadu
Cursed without hope, was the love that I sought Lost from the start, was the duel That was s'possed to win her heart in Xanadu
And the footprints leave no traces Only shadows move in places where we used to go And the buildings open to the sky All echo in the vultures cry as if to show Our love was for a day Then doomed to pass away In Xanadu, in Xanadu, in Xanadu
In Xanadu, in Xanadu, in Xanadu
What was it to you that a man laid down his life for your love Were those clear eyes of yours ever filled with the pain and the tears and the grief Did you ever give your self to any one man in this whole wide world Or did you love me and will you find your way back one day to Xanadu
You'll hear my voice, on the wind, 'cross the sand If you should return, to that black barren land that bears the name of Xanadu
