This Masquerade Composer(s): Leon Russell First release by: Leon Russell - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
Are we really happy here With this lonely game we play Looking for words to say Searching but not finding understanding anywhere We're lost in a masquerade
Both afraid to say we're just to far away From being close together from the start We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way We're lost inside this lonely game we play
Thoughts of leaving disappear Every time I see your eyes No matter how hard I try To understand the reasons Why we carry on this way We're lost in a masquerade

Jamás, Jamás Composer(s): Fredérico Baena Performer(s): Javier Solis; Maria Luisa Landin
Nunca más, jamás, jamás iré a buscarte pues mi orgullo puede más que mi dolor Nunca más, jamás, jamás he de rogarte y aunque me duela el alma no humillarás mi amor
Te perdono todo el mal que tú me has hecho y si hoy vives más feliz lejos de mí yo sabré cavar tu tumba aquí en mi pecho para enterrar tus besos y olvidarme de ti
Mus...
Te perdono todo el mal que tú me has hecho y si hoy vives más feliz lejos de mí yo sabré cavar tu tumba aquí en mi pecho para enterrar tus besos y olvidarme de ti
I wish that you could see All the things that I have seen This mind of mine is making life worthwhile I wish that youd have know Of all the plans I had in store for us Laughing, dancing, traveling the world on our own
And this man, he weeps tonight And his head is bowed with sorrow But what can you do, sitting there And you let him cry tomorrow Yes, youll let him cry tomorrow Yes, youll let him cry tomorrow
I thought our thing would last cause it said so in my horoscope The days have gone and past while dreaming away The lighting here is dim And the room closes in around me Your pictures hanging loose on a rusting nail
And this man, he weeps tonight And his head is bowed with sorrow But what can you do, sitting there And you let him cry tomorrow Yes, youll let him cry tomorrow Yes, youll let him cry tomorrow
And this man, he weeps tonight And his head is bowed with sorrow But what can you do, sitting there And you let him cry tomorrow Yes, youll let him cry tomorrow Yes, youll let him cry tomorrow

This magic moment So different and so new Was like any other Until I kissed you
And then it happened It took me by surprise I knew that you felt it too By the look in your eyes
Sweeter than wine (sweeter than wine) Softer than a summer night (softer than a summer night) Everything I wanna have (everything, everything) Whenever I hold you tight
This magic moment (this magic moment) While your lips are close to mine Will last forever Forever till the end of time

This magic moment (this magic moment) While your lips are close to mine Will last forever (this magic moment) Forever till the end of time (magic)
Même d'une région si lointaine Qu'il se peut Que jamais l'homme ne l'atteigne Même de ces points infinis Lumineux On dit qu'un jour ils s'éteignent
Si tout disparaît Même si tout doit toujours finir bien L'avenir n'a qu'à revenir demain Retenir un peu le plaisir dans nos mains Juste le temps de se souvenir au moins Il ne faudrait Jamais partir Jamais partir Jamais partir
Personne ne saura être sans savoir devenir Quelqu'un sera là peut-être pour se souvenir Que j'étais là Que c'était toi
Même si de nos horizons dérisoires {Illusoires tu peux dire} Tout nous paraît provisoire Même si les silences profonds des miroirs Taisent les secrets de notre histoire
Si tout disparaît Même si tout doit toujours finir bien L'avenir n'a qu'à revenir demain Retenir un peu le plaisir dans nos mains Juste le temps de se souvenir au moins Il ne faudrait Jamais partir Jamais partir Jamais partir
Il ne faudrait Jamais partir Jamais partir Jamais partir

This love of mine goes on and on Though life is empty since you have gone You're always on my mind, though out of sight It's lonesome through the day But oh! the night I cry my heart out, it's bound to break Since nothing matters, let it break I ask the sun and the moon The stars that shine What's to become of it This love of mine
Crazy Train Composer(s): Ozzy Osbourne - Randy Rhoads - Bob Daisley
First release by: Ozzy Osbourne - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists
Crazy But that's how it goes Millions of people living as foes
Maybe It's not to late to learn how to love and forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing life's a bitter shame I'm going off the rails on a crazy train I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
Listened to preachers I've listened to fools I've watched all the dropouts who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control The media sells it and you live the roll
Mental wounds not healing driving me insane I'm going off the rails on a crazy train I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
Heirs of a cold war, that's what we've become Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb Crazy, I just cannot bear I'm living with something that just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing Who and what's to blame I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Composer(s): Eddy Marnay
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Les trains sont tristes au petit jour Je reste sur le quai Le seul homme au monde que j'ai aimé S'éloigne de notre amour
D'hiver en automne Dis-toi que je t'attendrai Tu sais bien que jamais Je ne me marierai
Je revois la foule autour de nous Un enfant cherchait sa mère Il semble encore que c'était hier Mais le temps, le temps est fou
D'hiver en automne Dis-toi que je t'attendrai Tu sais bien que jamais Je ne me marierai
Le rouge et puis le blanc se sont succédés Sur les arbres de la forêt Et j'ai peur d'avoir un cheveu d'argent Au miroir du bon vieux temps
D'hiver en automne Dis-toi que je t'attendrai Tu sais bien que jamais Je ne me marierai
D'hiver en automne Dis-toi que je t'attendrai Tu sais bien que jamais Je ne me marierai

Jamais Deux Sans Trois Composer(s): Enrico Macias; Lasry; Demarny Performer(s): Enrico Macias
Jamais deux sans trois Jamais mieux que ça Ne m'a fait tant croire en notre amour car je sais que toi et moi on est bien et ça se voit quand on est rien que nous tous les trois
Le jour où l'on s'est marié on y pensait déjà A celle ou bien à celui qui viendra nous tendre les bras On en rêve et l'on construit pour lui tant d'espérances que dès qu'il s'avance on se sent tout petit
Jamais deux sans trois car il n'y a pas Sur la terre une plus grande joie Que voir un enfant venir ici-bas Nous donner plus d'amour qu'on en a déjà Jamais deux sans trois C'est toujours comme ça Si l'on veut sauver toute une vie Car c'est lui qui nous retient Quand parfois sur le chemin Il arrive que l'on s'aime un peu moins
On sursaute chaque fois Quand on entend crier Et on rit quand on le voit Essayer de nous imiter Il nous donne son sourire en prenant tant de place Que les années passent à nous entendre dire
Jamais deux sans trois Car il n'y a pas Sur la terre une plus grande joie Que voir un enfant venir ici -bas Nous donner plus d'amour qu'on en a déjà Jamais deux sans trois Jamais mieux que ça Ne m'a fait tant croire en notre amour
Car je sais que toi et moi On est bien et ça se voit quand on est rien que nous tous les trois

Crazy Mixed Up Song Composer(s): Grean; Joan Javits Performer(s): Billy Cotton
Twas midnight on the ocean not a streetcar was in sight The sun was shining brightly in the middle of the night A barefoot boy with shoes on stood there sitting in a tree And when I put my glasses on I heard this melody
Be kind to your web footed friends For a duck may be somebodys mother Be kind to the denizen of the swamp Shes a dilly through and through You may think that this is the end Well it isnt cos there is another chorus
Twas midnight on the ocean when the rain began to snow He hurried to me slowly cos the time had come to go I said Id wait forever if it wouldnt take too long And silently we harmonised this crazy mixed up song
Be kind to your web footed friends For a duck may be somebodys mother Be kind to the denizen of the swamp Shes a dilly through and through You may think that this is the end Well it isnt cos there is another chorus
Twas midnight on the ocean on the day I married him I didnt know his name was Fred thats why I called him Jim We settled down in London, France, beside the pyramids And raised a little family of crazy mixed up kids
Be kind to your web footed friends For a duck may be somebodys mother Be kind to the denizen of the swamp Shes a dilly through and through You may think that this is the end Well it is
