The Lion Composer(s): Barnett - Colwell - Smith - Young Performer(s): Adrian Smith
Late at night, rain falling down Sets my mind wandering Took a drive on a highway I saw you standing in the rain Destiny was calling me I would never be the same
You said You said your heart was aching You were sad
I saw you cry The night you lied to me Oh no!
You took my hand Then faded with the light
They said you died out On the road that night
Im in cold, cold sweat Knuckles white upon the wheel Danger flies on silent wings I cant fight and I cant feel Now Im standing in the daylight And it seems just like a dream If only I could touch you girl But youre not there for real!
Funny Face Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin Performer(s): Fred Astaire
Jimmy: Frankie, dear, your birthday gift reveals to me That at heart you're really not so bad If I add, your funny face appeals to me Please don't' think I've suddenly gone mad You have all the qualities of Peter Pan I'd go far before I'd find a sweeter pan And yet
I love your funny face Your sunny, funny face For you're a cutie With more than beauty You've got a lot Of personality N.T. A thousand laughs I've found In having you around Though you're not Gloria Swanson For worlds I'd not replace Your sunny, funny face
Frankie: Needn't tell me that I'm not so pretty, dear When my looking glass and I agree In the contest at Atlantic City, dear Miss America I'd never be Truth to tell, though, you're not such a bad lot yourself As a Paul Swan, you are not so hot yourself And yet
I love your funny face Your sunny, funny face You can't repair it So I declare it Is quite all right Jimmy: Like Ronald Colman? Frankie: So's your old man! Yet it's very clear I'm glad when you are near Though you're no Handsome Harry For worlds I'd not replace Your sunny funny face
I love that funny face That sunny, funny face Thought it upsets one, in time, it gets one That's true, for you Have personality for two Those eyes! Those nose! Those cheek! Won't make a movie sheikh But though you're not patootie For worlds I'd not replace Your sunny, funny face
Frankie: [to dog] I love your funny face Your sunny, funny face You never bother About your father Have you no shame? You're just a mutt and nothing but! Yet when you wag your tail You'll never be for sale Though you're no Rin Tin Tin, dear For worlds I'd not replace Your sunny, funny face
The Lights Of Home Composer(s): Steve Graham - Leon Pober Performer(s): Don Ho
I always get a thrill And I guess I always will When my journey nears its end And my destination is just around the bend
The lights of home look good to me When I return from far across the sea They glow so bright to guide me thru the night Back to the ones who care, waiting for me there
I've been around But never found In rainy London town Or sunny Rome A sight that's greater than the lights of home
Character
Composer(s): Iggy Pop - Eric Schermerhorn
Performer(s): Iggy Pop
Well, I 'll tell you one good thing at least about some of these junkies was they had some character they may have driven me nuts sometimes and screwed up but at least when they played the damn guitar they' d play it like they meant it these white bread boys nowadays knowin' all the score don' t even know how to puke
Funny (Not Much) Composer(s): Marcia Neal; Philip F. Broughton; Bob Merrill; Hughie Prince Performer(s): Nat King Cole; and various other artists
Funny, how I've stopped loving you I can pass you on the street and my heart don't skip a beat Not much, so much my eyes wanna cry Funny, how I've stopped loving you I can listen to your name and it doesn't start a flame Not much, so much my heart wants to die
Now that you're standing here, darling, I don't shed a tear This is just the rain in my eyes And if I have proved to you everything I say is true Please help me believe my own lies
Funny, how I've stopped loving you And it's funny I don't miss all the heaven in your kiss Your touch, no I don't love you, not much
Funny, how I've stopped loving you And it's funny I don't miss all the heaven in your kiss Your touch, no I don't love you, not much
The Lights Are Low Composer(s): Justin Hayward Performer(s): Justin Hayward
The lights are low They say it's true I feel your magic as we move and sway The lights are low
And the music now is slow I'm a fool to trust in you Seems like my self-control is slipping away And the music now is slow
And we ask the night, how can this be wrong, and feel so right But then who are they, who are they to know, I need you so Let me taste the love, let me drink the wine, that's yours and mine And we ask the night, how can this be wrong, and feel so right
Did you ever look in the mirror Did you ever wake up in the morning And see a stranger standing there And find that nothing, nothing was the same
Did you ever drive for miles and miles And the only thing that really matters And wonder how on earth you got yourself there Is the pleasure and the pain
Chaque Matin Il Se Lève ((aka Dans La Brume Du Matin (Joe Dassin) - 1966)) ((Adapted from: Early Morning Rain (Gordon Lightfoot) - 1966)) Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot - Eddy Mitchell Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1974
La pluie du petit matin Me donne froid dans le dos L'alcool qui est dans mon verre Me réchauffe un peu la peau Et la, j'attends le soleil Je m'installe pour son show Ça y est le soleil se lève Pour moi il s'est fait beau
Chaque matin il se lève, Il est le roi de la fête Il me donne mal à la tête À le voir toujours si haut S'il voulait boire avec moi À nous deux nous serions trois La nuit, le soleil et moi Jamais il ne le voudra
Chaque matin il se lève Parfois il en fait de trop Ses rayons se font cruels Il vient me brûler la peau C'est la star la plus célèbre C'est le plus grand des grands shows Ça y est le soleil se lève Le grand spectacle est là-haut
Sur la route nationale Il éclaire les autos S'il savait combien j'ai mal De le voir toujours si haut Il viendrait boire avec moi Encore quelques verres de trop Chaque matin il se lève Pour moi il s'est fait beau
Il est encore revenu J'ai perdu une fois de plus Mais je ne parierai plus Contre lui c'est défendu
Chaque matin il se lève Parfois il en fait de trop...
Funnel Of Love Composer(s): Charles McCoy; Kent Westbury Performer(s): Wanda Jackson; and various other artists
Here I go Going down, down, down My mind is a blank My head is spinning around and around As I go deep into the funnel of love
It's such a crazy, crazy feeling I get weak in the knees My poor old head is a reelin' As I go deep into the funnel of love
I tried and I tried, to run and hide I even tried to run away Ya just can't run from the funnel of love It's gonna get ya someday
It's such a crazy, crazy feeling I get weak in the knees My poor old head is a reelin' As I go deep into the funnel of love
I tried and I tried, to run and hide I even tried to run away Ya just can't run from the funnel of love It's gonna get ya someday
Here I go, going down, down, down My mind is a blank My head is spinning around and around As I go deep into the funnel of love Deep into the funnel of love Deep into the funnel of love
Funkytown Composer(s): Steven Greenberg Performer(s): Lipps, Inc.

The Light From Your Smile Performer(s): Jackson Browne
Oh the light from your smile Can be seen for a mile By travellers dark in their sorrow If you want me to stay Throw a smile my way And Ill stay by your side til tomorrow
Woooah...
Cause all my battered dreams are shattered now And I need all your beauty to warm me
In the time that Ive known you Ive always shown you That I could be captured in kindness Now a storms blowin Tomorrow Im goin Well the sun takes away my blindness
Woooah...
'Cause all my tattered hopes are shattered now I wait for the future to touch me
Oh the morning is nearing The clouds disappearing The sun will be coming to guide me Wherever I go I want you to know That I carry your smile beside me
Woooah...
The slowly shifting fog is lifting now And I see the road Ill be taking
Chaque Jour À La Même Heure
((Adapted from: Early In The Morning (Vanity Fare) - 1969))
Composer(s): Eddie Seago - Mike Leander - Jacques Plante
Performer(s): Claude François - 1969
La nuit je m'ennuie de toi
La vie c'est si long sans toi
J'attends le soleil qui me réveille
Chaque jour à la même heure
J'ouvre les volets de ma demeure
Dans le vent d'automne qui m'effleure
Je vois se lever le jour
Pour calmer mon impatience
Je voudrais déjà savoir d'avance
Si le soir venu j'aurai la chance
De te voir enfin de retour
La vie continue toujours
La vie c'est de l'eau qui court
Chacun son destin et ses chagrins
Chaque jour à la même heure
Des gens se marient et d'autres meurent
Des enfants sourient et d'autres pleurent
C'est ainsi depuis toujours
On ne peut changer le monde
Mais je me dis à chaque seconde
Que ma joie sera toujours profonde
Grâce à ton amour...
La nuit je m'ennuie de toi
La vie c'est si long sans toi
Mais tout fini bien quand tu reviens
Chaque jour à la même heure
J'ouvre les volets de ma demeure
Dans le vent d'automne qui m'effleure
Je vois se lever le jour
Pour calmer mon impatience
Je voudrais déjà savoir d'avance
Si le soir venu j'aurai la chance
De te voir enfin de retour
La vie continue toujours
La vie c'est de l'eau qui court
Chacun son destin et ses chagrins
Chaque jour à la même heure
Des gens se marient et d'autres meurent
Des enfants sourient et d'autres pleurent
C'est ainsi depuis toujours
On ne peut changer le monde
Mais je me dis à chaque seconde
Que ma joie sera toujours profonde
Grâce à ton amour...

The Light Comes From Within Performer(s): Linda McCartney
You say I'm lazy You say I don't fit Takes one to know one You make me sick You say I'm simple You say I'm a hick You're f***ing no one You stupid d**k Oppression won't win The light comes from within I need a sense of cause I wanna smell the flowers You need complete control You wanna build more towers You try to change me if you could I see the trees, you saw the wood You say I'm different You say we don't click I say you're crazy You make me sick I say you're greedy because you scheme You say I'm foolish because I dream Oppression won't win The light comes from within I need a sense of cause I wanna smell the flowers You need complete control You wanna build more towers I say you're greedy because you scheme You say I'm foolish because I dream Oppression won't win The light comes from within

Pourquoi dire adieu, tu reviendras
Tu dois partir Mais ça ne change rien pour nous Ton avenir peut bien t'entraîner loin de tout Pour toi Chaque instant de chaque jour Je serai là Tu sais le vide que tu laisseras mais Si tu as besoin de moi Souviens t'en Je t'attends
C'est pourquoi Ne pense pas que si le chagrin suit tes pas Il te faudra te consoler dans d'autres bras Pour toi Chaque instant de chaque jour je serai là Tu sais le vide que tu laisseras mais Nul ne te remplaceras Souviens t'en Je t'attends
Il suffira d'un mot de toi pour m'appeler Et je viendrai Puisque demain on doit se séparer tous deux Alors je veux te dire tout simplement ce que jamais Je n'ai voulu dire à personne Avant toi
Pour toi Chaque instant de chaque jour Je serai là Tu sais le vide que tu laisseras mais Si tu as besoin de moi Souviens t'en Je t'attends
Il suffira d'un mot de toi pour m'appeler Et je viendrai Puisque demain on doit se séparer tous deux Alors je veux te dire tout simplement ce que jamais Je n'ai voulu dire à personne avant Toi

One used to be the shotgun Two used to be the bad boogaloo Three used to be the swing shingaling Four used to be the funky four fingers

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
