To All The Girls I've Loved Before ((Dutch Version: De Hoge C (Simone en André) - 1984)) Composer(s): Albert Hammond - Hal David First release by: Albert Hammond - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists
To all the girls I've loved before Who travelled in and out my door I'm glad they came along I dedicate this song To all the girls I've loved before
To all the girls I once caressed And may I say I've held the best For helping me to grow I owe a lot I know To all the girls I've loved before
The winds of change are always blowing And every time I try to stay The winds of change continue blowing And they just carry me away
To all the girls who shared my life Who now are someone else's wives I'm glad they came along I dedicate this song To all the girls I've loved before
To all the girls who cared for me Who filled my nights with ecstasy They live within my heart I'll always be a part Of all the girls I've loved before
The winds of change are always blowing And every time I try to stay The winds of change continue blowing And they just carry me away
To all the girls we've loved before Who travelled in and out our doors We're glad they came along We dedicate this song To all the girls we've loved before
To all the girls we've loved before Who travelled in and out our doors We're glad they came along We dedicate this song To all the girls we've loved before
I Chased You Till You Caught Me Composer(s): Wayne Walker Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Loretta Lynn
I chased you till you caught me you had plans all your own It didn't come as no surprise and you knew it all along Now I guess you think you're a pretty cute but I've got news for you It don't really matter to me just who caught who
Well it was a long hard race I thought I've finally won I thought I really played it smart but brother was I dumb You thought you'll pull to figure out and won my heart and hand But things were only workin' out accordin' to my plans
I chased you till you caught me you had plans all your own It didn't come as no surprise and you knew it all along Now I guess you think you're a pretty cute but I've got news for you It don't really matter to me just who caught who
Now you were playin' hard to get from a danglin' on a string I was only holdin' out for a pretty weddin' ring So you went to the jewelers to get my big surprise But you done been there a month before and given them your size
I chased you till you caught me you had plans all your own It didn't come as no surprise and you knew it all along Now I guess you think you're a pretty cute but I've got news for you It don't really matter to me just who caught who It don't really matter to me just who caught who
Je Voudrais English Title: I Would Like Composer(s): Jeannine Deckers aka Soeur Sourire Performer(s): Jeannine Deckers
Je voudrais être comme le vent Partout chantant Je voudrais être comme le vent Partout dansant Comme le vent te loue, Seigneur Comme le vent
Je voudrais être un blanc nuage Flanant au ciel Je voudrais être un blanc nuage Dans le soleil Comme le nuage cherche, Seigneur Ton visage
Je voudrais être comme la flamme Des feux de bois Je voudrais être comme la flamme Des feux de joie Comme la flamme monte, Seigneur Tendue vers toi
Je voudrais être comme une guitare Au coeur chantant Je voudrais être comme une guitare Au coeur vibrant Comme une guitare que tu puisses Remplir de ta chanson
(Let the bells ring out for Christmas) (Let the whole World know it's here)
Well, let the bells ring out for Christmas Let 'em spread the joy and cheer Make the whole World know that Christmas Day Is a special day each year
For the kids there's excitement all over their faces When they find Santa brought 'em that brand new toy And for the sad, and the sick, and the lonely Why, just the thought of Christmas brings 'em a little joy
(So let the bells ring out for Christmas) (Let them spread the joy and cheer) (Let the whole World know that Christmas Day) (Is a special day each year)
But though there's fun and laughter for all And tidings that bring good cheer Let's not forget at Christmastime Just why this day is here
(So let the bells ring out for Christmas) (Let them spread the joy and cheer) Let the whole World know that Christmas Day Is a special day each year
I Caught Your Act Composer(s): Wally Holmes Performer(s): Hues Corporation
Curtain going up-up-up - curtain going up-up-up
Walking along the street last night, I happened to see you within You went into a picture show - the drama was about to begin Followed you inside, didn't try to hide
The lights were down, you took his hand and when the movie star-arted You moved right in so close to him - it left me broken hear-eart brea-ea-ea-eak
I caught your act, oh I saw what you did girl I caught your act, caught your act baby I saw the whole thing, you got carr-arried away It was easy to see-ee, there was no part for me
Oh-oh, I caught your act, oh I saw what you did girl I caught your act, caught your act baby (Caught your act, caught your act baby) And I got caught in the dark
Curtain going up-up-up Caught you baby, yes I did, he was holdin' you in his arms, yeah Curtain going up-up-up - one night stand with your thievin' man Curtain going up-up-up - did he buy popcorn, did he buy candy Why'd you ever get together
When you played those long love scenes your kisses failed to show I had the best seat in the house And when the lights came on you were the first one to know
Oh-oh, I caught your act, oh I saw what you did girl I caught your act, caught your act baby I saw the whole thing, you got carr-arried away It was easy to see-ee, there was no part for me
Oh-oh, I caught your act, oh I saw what you did girl I caught your act, caught your act baby (Caught your act, caught your act baby) And I got caught in the dark
Curtain going up-up-up - followed you inside, didn't try to hide Caught you baby, yes I did, he was holdin' you in his arms, yeah Curtain going up-up-up - followed you inside, didn't try to hide
What is life? Did you read about it In a magazine? Silent lies Never give you what you need Is there hope For a mother And an elf on speed? Kiss the sun hello Child in the park Make your life a lovin' thing I'm so tired You're so wired And I'm a poet Without a poem And you are my child
"So serene" Read about us in a magazine Then why are we Crying by the washing machine? Let's run away child And follow a dream
Kiss the sun hello Child in the park Make your life a lovin' thing The park is late The wind is strong The trees have eyes And you are my song My lovely song
What is love? Child I am here to stand by you And you will find You own way hard and true And I'll find mine 'Cause I'm growin' with you
Kiss the sun hello God & Goddess Make his life a lovin' thing And if I smile as you reach above the climbin' bars To see the stars You are my love Child my love
Je caresse des doigts l'endroit où tu posais ta tête Le jour à peine né entrait par la fenêtre ouverte Ma vie commence ainsi chaque matin sans toi Et je fais de mon mieux pourtant Je ne m'habitue pas J'essaie de dire les mêmes mots, de faire les mêmes gestes Dans cette vie qui n'est plus pour moi qu'une île déserte Et je remets la robe blanche que tu aimais Et en fermant les yeux je peux te sentir là tout près
Refrain: Je vivrai pour nous deux, je vivrai pour toi Notre amour, notre vie en rêve Je tisserai mes jours Tout autour de toi Je vivrai mon amour que pour toi Je vivrai pour deux, les nuits et les jours J'inventerai tes mots, tes gestes Je ne serai plus seule, nous serons toujours deux, Je vivrai notre amour pour nous deux
Je vois des ronds dans l'eau où tu ne jettes plus de pierres Le soleil et le vent sont tes mains sur ma robe claire Puis j'écoute ton rire caché dans le lit du ruisseau Et dans mes rêves, je retrouve le goût de ta peau
Tu Exagères ((Italian Version: E Tu Strafai (Charles Aznavour)) Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Tu exagères, tu en fais trop C'est pourquoi je n'ai jamais pu comme il faut Séparer tes qualités et tes défauts Tant ils se mêlent et se confondent Y'a rien à faire tu vas et viens Tu te fatigues et te donnes un mal de chien Je suis pour toi plus un enfant qu'un mari Et ton amour tourne à la tyrannie
Tu exagères, toute l'année Quand tu me fais des petits plats mijotés Et te régales à me regarder manger Ces repas pantagruéliques Si je tempère mon appétit Tu deviens triste, alors pour être gentil Sachant que dans un instant tu vas pleurer Je reprends de tout, quitte à en crever
Tu exagères, tu vas trop loin Lorsque tu cires tes parquets le matin Tu m'obliges à marcher avec des patins Qui me font perdre l'équilibre Tu dépoussières, bats les tapis Ne pouvant être ni debout ni assis Si je m'entends pour te laisser travailler Tu viens alors battre les oreilles
Tu exagères, c'est insensé Si par hasard j'ai le malheur de tousser L'instant d'après je me retrouve couché Avec le dos pleins de ventouses Tel un cerbère, tu veilles au grain Le thermomètre à la portée de la main Tu me fais prendre que je le veuille ou non D'horribles trucs de ta composition
Tu exagères, depuis toujours Y'a donc pas de raison que tu cesses un jour Pourtant pour moi, ne change rien mon amour Car c'est pour tout ça que je t'aime Ton caractère, ta bonne humeur Ta fraîcheur d'âme, et tes qualités de coeur Font que dans la vie je ne m'ennuie jamais
Tu exagères mon coeur Tu exagères je sais Tu exagères mais Ça me plaît
I Can't Wait Composer(s): Ric Ocasek Performer(s): Ric Ocasek
I can't wait For your love I can't wait For your touch I can't wait For your slinky smile I can't wait For your angel heart I can't wait Cause when you hold me I melt away And when you hold me I want to stay Night to night Day to day I just can't wait For your love For your whisper soft I can't wait For your bright nite eyes I can't wait For your silky sway I can't wait I'd be so glad if you came today I can't wait
Je Viens Offrir Mon Coeur Spanish Title: Vengo A Ofrecer Mi Corazon Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Qui a dit que tout était perdu? Je viens offrir mon cur Tant de sang emporté par la rivière Je viens offrir mon cur
Ce ne sera pas si facile, je sais ce qui se passe Ce ne sera pas aussi simple que je le croyais Comme ouvrir la poitrine et en sortir l'âme Un coup de couteau d'amour
Lune des pauvres toujours ouverte Je viens offrir mon cur Tel un document inaltérable Je viens offrir mon cur
Et je joindrai les bouts d'un même ruban Et je m'en irai calme, j'irai doucement Et je te donnerai tout, et toi quelque chose Quelque chose qui m'apaisera
Lorsqu'il n'y aura personne proche ou lointain Je viens offrir mon cur Lorsque les satellites ne suffiront pas Je viens offrir mon cur
Et je parle de pays et d'espoirs Et je parle au nom de la vie, je parle au nom de rien Et je parle de changer celle-ci, notre maison De la changer juste pour changer
Qui a dit que tout était perdu? Je viens offrir mon cur Je viens offrir mon cur
Goderafton: får jag lov att presentera mej jag är fågel och jag heter "Flax" Är ni orrenitolog och vill studera mej så passa på för nu är det så dags Jag har fått en liten fjäder, som ni nog kan se i min övriga dräkt någonstans Ja, det börja häromkvällen i ett träd breve´ där min farsa gav middag med dans Ja, tjo va´de´va´livat i holken i lördags! Moster hon fastna med näbben i kläm Tjo va´de´va´livat i holken i lördags! Uti de tokiga stararnas hem Tjo va´de´va´livat i holken i lördags! Alla for runt i en flygande dans Tjo, va´de´va´livat i holken i lördags! Fyllkajor är vi ju lite till mans Kvitt kviddelikvitt, ropa farfar förskräckt farfar förskräckt ja just farfar förskräckt Kom alla mesar, för nu är det kläckt! Nu är det pippi direkt (Ha, ha, ha) Ja, tjo va´de´va´livat i holken i lördags! Hålet var täppt redan kvart över fem! Tjo, va´de´va´livat i holken i lördags! Uti det tokiga stararnas hem
Ja tror alla vilda fåglar som i skogen fanns ställde upp på vår nattliga zwyck Och till dom som var för stora att få rum nå´nstans bar vi ut både föda och dryck Hela natten håll vi på med både stoj och glam stick i stäv mot vår sångarprincip så när solen sen på söndagsmorron titta fram då var det lögn att fö höra ett pip
Men, tjo va´de´va´livat i holken i lördags! Aldrig man skådat en muntrare gask! Tjo va´de´va´livat i holken i lördags! Borta hörn var det dragkamp på mask Tjo va´de´va´livat i holken i lördags! Näbbar och klor över flaskor och fat Tjo va´de´va´livat i holken i lördags! Storken var där, fastän mera privat Kvitt kviddelikvitt, alla fjädrarna rök! Fjädrarna rök! Fjädrarna rök! Kring tolvsnåret lekte vi duva och hök Och sen blev det kaffe med gök! Ja, tjo va´de´va´livat i holken i lördags! Flygande byling kom dit i patrull Tjo va´de´va´livat i holken i lördags! Av fulla små finkar blev finkan så full
Kvitt kviddelikvitt, det var långt ifrån torrt långt ifrån torrt långt ifrån torrt Sura i krävan vi flaxade bort men kommo tillbaks inom kort! För tjo va´de´va´livat i holken i lördags! Moster hon fastna med näbben i kläm! Tjo va de va livat i holken i lördags! Uti de tokiga stararnas hem

Ça faisait si longtemps que je n'entendais plus ta voix ça faisait si longtemps oui comment ça va J'ai pensé bien à toi souvent et je n'osais t'appeler je croyais que tu m'en voulais que tu m'avais oublié
{Refrain:} Je viens dîner ce soir j'arrive attends-moi je viens dîner ce soir tout comme autrefois Je te vois déjà dans l'entrée avec le sourire que j'aimais et j'aurai trop de mal à ne pas t'embrasser Je viens dîner ce soir au plus tard à 8 heures j'ai bien changé crois-moi je serai a l'heure J'aurai tant de choses à te dire qu'avant même le temps d'un sourire je serai devant la porte de ta maison

Leanin' Composer(s): Hugh E. Wright - Thomas Case Sterndale Bennett Performer(s): Harold Williams
Sowin's pretty good Reapin' ain't so bad Scarin' off the crows Suits a farmer's lad But if you ask'es me The thing that suits a fellow Is a little bit of straw to suck To keep your fancies mellow
When you're leanin' on the gate beside The pond that lies beside the side Of farmer's stacks of new mown hay It's just atwix the ricks Beside the barn where farmers sticks inside The chicks he only hatch'd today Leanin', leanin' I'm champion down our way, they say At leanin' on the gate beside the pond that lies beside The side of farmer's stacks of new mown hay That he's been gleanin' While I've been leanin'... all day
Had a lurcher once Better than a gal Poacher? Well, a bit But 'e was a pal Now there's just a mound Underneath the el-lum Reckon folks would laugh at I If I was to tell 'em...
Why I'm leanin' on the gate beside the pond that lies beside The side the hedge where my old dog would play It's just a'cos from there I see the sunlight Glintin' through the tree Upon the grave where 'e do lie Sleepin', sleepin' Goodbye is hard to say That's why I'm leanin' on the gate beside the pond that lies beside The side of farmer's stacks of new-mown hay And at the gleanin' He'll find me leanin'... all day
I Can't Touch The Sun Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show; Dennis Locorriere; Shel Silverstein
I can't touch the clouds for you, I'll never reach the sun for you I've never done the things that you need done for you I've stretched as high as I can reach, I guess I'm not the one for you 'Cause I can't touch the clouds or reach the sun for you No I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun
I can't turn back time for you, and make you sweet sixteen again I can't turn your barren fields to green again And I won't sit around and talk of how things might have been again No I can't turn back time and make you young again I can't turn back time and make you young
I hope you find somebody who can do the things I didn't do And find the road I didn't find, and build a brighter world for you I hope you find somebody old enough to reach and take a hold And guide your ever changing mind, and free your ever risin' soul But I can't No I can't
I can't look inside your mind, and see the things you're hopin' for And I can't help you chase the dream you're gropin' for You say your arms are open wide, but Lord knows who they're open for No I can't know your mind or chase your dreams with you No I can't chase your dreams or know your mind
So say goodbye and don't look back, I've had some happy days with you Sorry I can't be the one who stays with you And when they ask about me, you can say I was the one with you Who never touched the clouds or reached the sun with you No I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun
I guess it's done, I can't touch the sun for you, ooh, ooh, ooh I can't touch the sun, I can't no I can't, ooh, no, ooh, no I can't touch the sun, no lord, no, hmm, hmm
Je Viens Comme Un Voleur Composer(s): G. Guarnieri; V. Pallavicini Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Je viens comme un voleur Je sais qu'il est déjà très tard Mais je me fous de l'heure J'avais besoin de te revoir Je ne vis presque plus Je suis un animal traqué Je suis un loup perdu Toujours à l'affût du danger
J'ai pas dormi Veux-tu me faire un café Pour me réveiller Je vais rester ici On finira par m'oublier Sais-tu ce qu'ils ont dit De moi ce soir à la télé Il fait si bon chez toi Que j'aimerais changer de peau Abandonner tout ça Reprendre ma vie à zéro
Tu es si jolie L'amour je n'y pensais plus Mais je t'ai connue Que j'aime t'embrasser Dis-moi qu'on va pouvoir s'aimer Ton lit n'est pas bien grand Mais je voudrais le partager Rêver en m'endormant Que mon voyage est terminé Terminé, terminé
Titiritero Composer(s): L. Flavio Performer(s): Raphael
Titiritero, titiritero Soy mi muñeco, soy mi patrón Y con mis hilos voy manejando Este destino de soñador Le canto al niño en portal dormido Canto al labriego, canto al ladrón Y a las mujeres de vida airada Al vino tinto y al peleón Pero dentro de mí tengo un violín Al que no puedo hacer reír Creo en el cura que duda un poco Amo al amigo y en mi jergón Duerme mi compañera Que es de mi vida toda la razón Soy mi muñeco, soy mi patrón Y con mis hilos voy manejando Este destino de soñador Cuando me llamen de las alturas A rendir cuentas al hacedor Iré contento porque mi vida Fue un simple juego de dar amor Pero dentro de mí tengo un violín Al que no puedo hacer reír
I Can't Tell You Why Composer(s): Glenn Frey; Timothy B. Schmit; Don Henley First release by: Eagles - 1979 Covered by multiple other artists
Look at us baby, up all night Tearing our love apart Aren't we the same two people who live through years in the dark? Ahh... Every time I try to walk away Something makes me turn around and stay And I can't tell you why
When we get crazy it just ain't to right (try to keep you head, little girl) Girl, I get lonely, too You don't have to worry Just hold on tight (don't get caught in your little world) 'Cause I love you Nothing's wrong as far as I can see We make it harder than it has to be and I can't tell you why no, baby, I can't tell you why I can't tell you why No, no, baby, I can't tell you why I can't tell you why I can't tell you why
