I felt the warmnest of your breath It's hard to tell, is it now or then... Our past our life so far apart never to question never to ask why...
There has never been a lover ever to satisfy my warmest desire... until you came along from where, I don't know...
When sunlight shines on your face my heart race to the other place... where we met so long ago... Hold my hands promises to never let me go... To sickness and in health...
There has never been a lover ever to satisfy my warmest desire... until you came along from where, I don't know...
There has never been a lover ever to satisfy my warmest desire... Baby, Baby until you came along and sealed my faith...
Father I ask of you to make it last just long enough until I can feel That lift you once blessed us with once before.. My true love have looked me in the eyes again for this last time...
There has never been a lover ever to satisfy my warmest desire... until you came along from where, I don't know...
There has never been a lover ever to satisfy my warmest desire... until you came along from where, I don't know...
The pleasure I feel from this lover that has never been.. A lover ever, a lover ever to love me like you yes you baby to satisfy my warmest desire until you came along and sealed my faith...

You said it was love made me stutter when I talk But is it love that makes me stagger when I walk?
The Gypsy woman told me "She's got you conjured, son" Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one
You said I was jealous when I didn't go to work You sprinkled my shoes with graveyard dirt
The Gypsy woman told me "She's got you conjured, son" Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one
The whiskey you bought me, I was afraid to unscrew it The Gypsy woman told me it was embalming fluid You got a Black Cat Bone and a Buzzard Feather A John the Conquer Root and they're all tied together
The Gypsy woman told me "She's got you conjured, son" Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one
The whiskey you bought me, I was afraid to unscrew it The Gypsy woman told me it was embalming fluid You got a Black Cat Bone and a Buzzard Feather A John the Conquer Root and they're all tied together

'Round Midnight Composer(s): Bernie Hanighen; Thelonious Monk; Cootie Williams Performer(s): Julie London; and various other artists
It begins to tell 'round midnight, midnight I do pretty well, till after sundown Suppertime I'm feelin' sad But it really gets bad 'round midnight
Memories always start 'round midnight Haven't got the heart to stand those memories When my heart is still with you And ol' midnight knows it, too When a quarrel we had needs mending Does it mean that our love is ending Darlin' I need you, lately I find You're out of my heart And I'm out of my mind
Let our hearts take wings' 'round midnight, midnight Let the angels sing for your returning Till our love is safe and sound And old midnight comes around Feelin' sad really gets bad Round, Round, Round Midnight

Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Hooking up words and phrases and clauses Conjunction Junction, how's that function? I've got three favorite cars That get most of my job done Conjunction Junction, what's their function? I've got and, but, and or They'll get you pretty far And That's an additive, like this and that But That's sort of the opposite not this but that And then there's or O-R, when you have a choice like This or that And, but, and or Get you pretty far
Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Hooking up two boxcars and making them run right Milk and honey, bread and butter, peas and rice Hey that's nice Dirty but happy, digging and scratching Losing your shoe and a button or two He's poor but honest, sad but true Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Hooking up two cars to one When you say something like this - choice Either now or later Or no choice Neither now nor ever Hey that's clever Eat this or that Grow thin or fat Never mind, I wouldn't do that I'm fat enough now!
Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Hooking up phrases and clauses that balance, like Out of the frying pan and into the fire He cut loose the sandbags but the balloon wouldn't go any higher Let's go up to the mountains Or down to the sea You should always say "Thank you" Or at least say "Please"
Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Hooking up words and phrases and clauses in complex sentences like In the morning, when I am usually wide awake I love to take a walk through the gardens and down by the lake, where I usually see a duck and a drake, and I wonder as I walk by what they would say if they could speak although I know that's an absurd thought
Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Hooking up cars and making them function Conjunction Junction, how's that function? I like tying up words and phrases and clauses Conjunction Junction, watch that function I'm going to get you there if you're very careful Conjunction Junction, what's your function? I'm going to get you there if you're very careful

Round And Round Composer(s): Lou Stallman; Joe Shapiro Performer(s): Perry Como
Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round As it skims along with a happy sound As it goes along the ground, ground, ground Till it leads you to the one you love
Then your love will hold you round, round, round In your heart's a song with a brand new song And your head goes spinning round, round, round 'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of
In the night you see the oval moon Going round and round in tune And the ball of sun in the day Makes a girl and boy wanna say
Find a ring and put it round, round, round And with ties so strong that two hearts are bound Put it on the one you've found, found, found For you know that this is really love
Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round As it skims along with a happy sound As it goes along the ground, ground, ground Till it leads you to the one you love
Then your love, you'll hold her round, round, round In your heart's a song with a brand new song And your head goes spinning round, round, round 'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of
In the night you see the oval moon Going round and round in tune And the ball of sun in the day Makes a girl and boy wanna say
Find a ring and put it round, round, round And with ties so strong your two hearts are bound Put it on the one you've found, found, found For you know that this is really love
Find a ring, out it on For you know that this is really love, really love, really love
There's a brand new dance That just hit this town Makes you feel so good This dance they call the round and round Round and round, up and down Round and round, up and down You know the kids got a bloodhound Out on the playing ground And when they want to have some fun They start to goin' round and round Round and round, up and down Round and round, up and down I got an elevator man In the heart of town And when he's feeling right He will carry you round and round Round and round, up and down Round and round, up and down Baby don't be jealous When I come to town I'm just a country girl Everybody's tryin to push poor me around Round and round, up and down Round and round, up and down
There Goes My First Love Composer(s): Greenaway - Mason Performer(s): The Drifters
There goes my girl there goes my first love With the guy I used to call my friend There goes love I thought would never end And I can't forget her my heart is breaking When I see her holding hands with him Can't help thinking how it might have been She's still my first love
My first love is still around She never left this part of town Now I see her most ev'ry day but she don't look my way There goes my first love with the guy I used to call my friend
She loved me but not for long. I wish I knew where I went wrong Now ev'ry day those pretty feet come walking on down the street
There goes my first love with the guy I used to call my friend...

Congratulations and celebrations When I tell everyone that you're in love with me Congratulations and Jubilations I want the world to know I'm happy as can be
Who would believe that I would be happy and contented I used to think that happiness hadn't been invented But that was in the bad old days before I met you When I let you, walk into my heart
Congratulations and celebrations When I tell everyone that you're in love with me Congratulations and Jubilations I want the world to know I'm happy as can be

I hear footsteps slowly walking As they gently walk across a lonely floor And a voice is softly saying Darling, this will be good-bye for ever more
There goes my reason for living There goes the one of my dreams There goes my only possession There goes my everything
As my memory turns back the pages I can see the happy years we had before Now the love that kept this old heart beating Has been shattered by the closing of the door
There goes my reason for living There goes the one of my dreams There goes my only possession There goes my everything

Nooit vergeet ik al die lange uren Vele nachten ben ik door een hel gegaan Ware liefde laat zich toch niet sturen Maar met jou kan ik de hele wereld aan
Liefste voor jou wil ik leven Liefste voor jou wil ik gaan 't is zo lang donker gebleven Maar jij stak het lichtje weer aan
't is zo lang donker gebleven Maar jij stak het lichtje weer aan
Ik dacht nooit van iemand nog te houden Echte liefde had voor mij wel afgedaan Sinds jij hier bent is er veel veranderd Want jij bracht weer het geluk in mijn bestaan
Liefste voor jou wil ik leven Liefste voor jou wil ik gaan 't is zo lang donker gebleven Maar jij stak het lichtje weer aan
't is zo lang donker gebleven Maar jij stak het lichtje weer aan
Confusione Composer(s): Lucio Battisti; Mogol First release by: Lucio Battisti - 1972
Tu lo chiami solo un vecchio sporco imbroglio ma è uno sbaglio è petrolio troppo furbo per non essere sincero ma è davvero oro nero Io perché non dovrei dirti tutto quello che sento nel cuore Io perché non dovrei parlarti di tutto anche di un nuovo mio amore sei o non sei sei o non sei al di sopra di ogni mia grande passione Confusione confusione mi dispiace se sei figlia della solita illusione e se fai confusione confusione tu vorresti imbalsamare anche l'ultima e più piccola emozione Se tu credi che il carbone bruci meglio è un abbaglio è petrolio Comunque se ami più del fuoco il fumo di un cero non usare l'oro nero Ma perché non dovrei liberare qualunque sentimento per chiunque sia tanto sai io non ti sentirei certamente per questo meno mia Ma chi mai disse che si deve amar come se stessi il prossimo con moderazione Confusione confusione mi dispiace se sei figlia della solita illusione e se fai confusione confusione tu vorresti imbalsamare anche l'ultima e più piccola emozione Confusione confusione E non dir che antico privilegio d'uomo per mia comodità faccio mio perché tu comunque libera saresti se libera vuoi essere come sono io Credi che ma credi che qualcuno possa darti amore se dell'amore non è padrone Confusione confusione mi dispiace se sei figlia della solita illusione e se fai confusione confusione tu vorresti imbalsamare anche l'ultima e più piccola emozione
Rouler Vers L'Ouest Composer(s): Pierre Billon; Johnny Hallyday Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Un soleil rouge qui se lève Sur les chromes d'une "Heritage" Un cuir qu'on porte même dans ses rêves Et Brando dans ses bagages
Quelque part la lumière d'août Des souris et des hommes Pour nous montrer la route Y a tout ce qu'il faut dans ma tête J'ai pas besoin du reste Pour rouler vers l'ouest
Un hôtel dans le désert Destination c'est nowhere D'El Paso au Grand Canyon Juste un bol de chili vert
Du sable chaud dans mes bottes La neige sur mes cheveux Des turquoise dans les yeux J'ai fait le plein dans ma tête J'ai pas besoin du reste Pour rouler vers l'ouest
Alabama Arizona Nevada Rouler vers l'ouest High-way 40 Texas city Route 66 Rouler vers l'ouest Ouais rouler vers l'ouest
Oh ! Rouler vers l'ouest
Une fille m'a dit brother T'as un lit à Del Rio Un navajo contre un burger M'a échangé son pancho
J' me sens comme une tequila Entre citron et sel Entre le ciel et l'eau Le V-Twin qui sonne dans ma tête J'ai pas besoin du reste Pour rouler vers l'ouest
Une maison tout blanche Et Scarlett qui me sourit Cimetière de la Nouvelle Orléans Easy rider je suis
Je fais partie du décors Et c'est Norman Rockwell Qui a tatoué tout mon corps Sacré moteur dans ma tête J'ai pas besoin du reste Pour rouler vers l'ouest
Rouler vers l'ouest Rouler vers l'ouest Rouler vers l'ouest Rouler vers l'ouest Oh ! Rouler vers l'ouest Oh ! Rouler vers l'ouest Rouler vers l'ouest

J'ai mille raisons de vivre Autant que de t'aimer Ce soir, il pleut sur la plage Mais demain il fera beau et le lendemain Et je vois un grand voyage Nous irons pêcher plus loin que l'Angleterre
J'ai mille raisons de vivre Et plus encore de t'aimer J'ai mille raisons de vivre Oh - tu es la vérité Des yeux d'enfants nous regardent Et pour eux, nous sommes plus que le soleil Nous devons y prendre garde Il faut que tu sois le plus beau Moi la plus belle
