Versions In Other Languages: 1959 - J'En Déduis Que Je T'Aime (Charles Aznavour) 1964 - Ne Deduco Che T'amo (Charles Aznavour)
Is it true what I feel Is sunsine really rain Is laughter really pain Do flowers cry in sorrow Do the rivers that flow Turn salty by the sea Bitter teardrops for me Is life just one tomorrow
Love at last you have found me Love at last you have found me
Does a kiss mean a fire That never knows a flame Does my heart play a game By telling me I'm living Are my words not my own The stupid things I say Like a child making play I don't know what I'm giving
Love at last you have found me Love at last you have found me, but
Now the storm begins The wild, exotic wind Soft words caressed with pain Sweet smiles that hide a look of shame Madness in our sighs Then fickle tears and rice But I will face it all To look into your eyes
You have conquered my soul And taken me away Blindly groping my way Not knowing, never caring In the stillness of night I feel you by my side And yet I want to hide From sadness we are sharing
Love at last you have found me Love at last you have found me
So this is my way Have others gone before Is love an open door Mine just for the taking or Will I be afraid So lost and so alone Are your lips mine alone What is this we are making
Love at last you have found me Love at last you are mine
I Couldn't Sleep A Wink Last Night German Title: Ich Hab' Die Ganze Nacht Geweint Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
I couldn't sleep a wink last night Because we had that silly fight I thought my heart would break the whole night through I knew that you'd be sorry, and I'm sorry, too
I didn't have my favorite dream The one in which I hold you tight I had to call you up this morning To see if everything was still all right Yes, I had to call you up this morning 'cause I couldn't sleep a wink last night
I didn't have my favorite dream The one in which I hold you tight I had to call you up this morning To see if everything was still all right Yes, I had to call you up this morning 'cause I couldn't sleep a wink last night
To Be Worthy Of You Composer(s): Walter Gross - Ray Klages Performer(s): Frankie Laine
You're so near and yet so far away Can I hope to share your love someday? I'd give anything that I possess If I could only prove my worthiness
To be worthy of you Will be the dream of my life The thing supreme in my life To be worthy of you Can I hope for romance? Will I find love in your glance? Is there a ghost of a chance To be worthy of you?
You're my heart and my soul My life and love you control This one desire is my goal To be worthy of you Will the day come for me When I'm all you want me to be? There's nothing I wouldn't do To be worthy of you
To be worthy of you Will be the dream of my life The thing supreme in my life To be worthy of you Can I hope for romance? Will I find love in your glance? Is there a ghost of a chance To be worthy of you?
You're my heart and my soul My life and love you control This one desire is my goal To be worthy of you Will the day come for me When I'm all you want me to be? There's nothing I wouldn't do To be worthy of you
Venise Va Mourir ((Adapted from: Anonimo Veneziano (Stelvio Cipriani) - 1970)) Composer(s): Stelvio Cipriani - Eddy Marnay Performer(s): Frida Boccara - 1970 and multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages: 1970 - To Be The One You Love (Tony Renis) 1971 - La Pasión De Un Gran Amor (Sergio Denis)
Venise va mourir un jour Venise va mourir Je ne peux pas imaginer Sans un soupir Qu'un jour Venise au fond de l'eau Verra passer tous les bateaux Comme une épave de lumière Un roman sous la mer Venise a des blessures Sur chaque pierre de chaque mur Des sérénades à faire pleurer Le monde entier Venise a des colombes Qui ont choisi ce coin du monde
Et qui un jour ne sauront plus Où se poser, jamais, jamais Venise va mourir un jour Venise va mourir un jour On voit, en plein hiver S'ouvrir la mer Et puis Venise disparait C'est comme si tu me disais Qu'un jour la terre à son réveil Perdait son soleil Venise m'appartient Tous ses palais, tous ses jardins Ses cathédrales et ses clochers Doivent rester Parce que Venise à trop d'amants Qui meurent un peu en se disant On vit d'amour et que Venise va mourir Un jour, un jour, un jour
I Couldn't Live Without Your Love Composer(s): Tony Hatch; Jackie Trent Performer(s): Petula Clark and multiple other artists
You're the only one that I rely on A shoulder there for me to cry on And the hours alone that I'm without you All I ever do is think about you
No one knows that you so understanding Even though my love is so demanding Everytime you look at me Then you'll know we'll both agree That no other love for me
I couldn't live without your love Now I know you're really mine Gotta have you all the time
Didn't like you much when I first met you But somehow I couldn't quite forget you Said you didn't want a friend or lover That your life was happy with another
But as time went by my love grew stronger Knew that I just couldn't wait any longer For I couldn't let you know When I have to tell you so That I love you then you know
I couldn't live without your love Now I know you're really mine Gotta have you all the time
Now the tears are gone and I'm not crying When you say you love me you're not lying
So when people want to stare I know I don't really care Just as long as you are there
I couldn't live without your love Now I know you're really mine Gotta have you all the time
I couldn't live without your love Now I know you're really mine Gotta have you all the time

Je vous salue Madame Ne priez plus pour moi Ne me laissez pas succomber A la tentation Mais délivrez-moi de vous Une bonne fois pour toujours Je vous salue Madame Ne priez plus pour moi Je ne vous pardonne pas D'avoir laissé un jour Prendre sous votre nom Par un autre que moi Je vous salue Madame Ne priez plus pour moi Donnez-moi aujourd'hui Et pour la dernière fois Un baiser tout petit Qui ne m'arrêtera pas
Je vous salue Madame Ne priez plus pour moi Je vous salue Madame Ne priez plus pour moi

To be the one you love To see forever in your eyes To know therell be no more goodbyes Now I have you
To be the hand you reach to hold And never think of growing old To live the greatest story told Of love come true with you
To share what fate may bring A time to cry, a time to sing To know my world has everything Now I have you
To leave the shadows of the night And touch your face at morning light To know how lucky I must be To be the one you love The one you love
Je Vous Offre Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Parce que mon cur lassé de tant d'ennuis Lassé de solitude amoureux d'une fleur Implore dans sa nuit la douceur d'une sur Aujourd'hui auprès de vous je viens jouer ma vie
Je vous offre mon temps, mes chagrins, mes tristesses Je vous offre le gris des jours passés sans bruit Je vous offrirais bien des bouquets de promesses Si je savais qu'un jour vous m'aviez pour époux
Je vous offre ce qui mets resté jeunesse Ses colliers de je t'aime que pour moi vous tressez Dans ses rêves lointains où vous m'apparaissiez Dans ce pays d'amour vous étiez princesse
Je vous offre ces choses qui n'arrivent jamais Je vous offre un printemps en plein cur de décembre Je vous offre un Noël au joli mois de mai Je vous offre le ciel que je vois de ma chambre
Je ne veux rien de vous que votre main tremblante Pour la poser captive douce et frêle sur mon cou J'n'veux rien de vous que votre âme confiante J'n'veux rien de plus que m'offrir à genoux
Lord of all I know, of all I see I'm glad that I know Thee No dark, no deep despair No fearful thought, no worldly care Can trouble me As long as I know Thee
No dark, no deep despair No fearful thought, no worldly care Can trouble me As long as I know Thee
(Oh Lord of all I know, of all I see) I'm glad that I know Thee) No dark, no deep despair No fearful thought, no worldly care Can trouble me As long as I know Thee
(No dark) No dark, no deep, (no deep despair) no deep despair (No fearful thought) No fearful, worldly care (Can trouble me) As long as I know Thee

Délivre-moi douce Ophélie
Du gris de ma mélancolie
Chante pour moi du haut du château d'Elseneur...
Laissons tous les jaloux parler
Partons partout sur mon Harley
Troquons nos blasons pour des blousons Perfecto
To be or not to be
To be or not to be (bop)
To be or not to be
To be or not to be (bop) bis
Délivre-moi douce Ophélie
Du gris de ma mélancolie
Vers quelque-part où Shakespeare chante en nous attendant
To be or not to be
To be or not to be (bop)
To be or not to be
To be or not to be (bop)...
Délivre-moi douce Ophélie
I Could Use A Dream Performer(s): Tony Martin & Alice Faye
Tony Martin: Ive always been afraid of the stuff that dreams are made of Ive never had a good imagination How differently I feel now
Alice Faye: Our dreams are much too near now A dream or two might help the situation
Oh, I could use a dream And in my heart Ill set a place apart to hold one I could use a dream And with my lips upon your fingertips Ill mould one Maybe Ill find my dreams deep in your eyes Asleep in your eyes, mine for the waking Oh, I could use a dream If I could choose the dream, it would be you
Tony Martin: Oh, I could use a dream And in my heart Ill set a place apart to hold one I could use a dream And with my lips upon your fingertips Ill mould one Maybe Ill find my dreams deep in your eyes Asleep in your eyes, mine for the waking Oh, I could use a dream If I could choose the dream
Je Vous Aime Composer(s): Jean Ferrat Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Pour ce rien cet impondérable Qui fait qu'on croit à l'incroyable Au premier regard échangé Pour cet instant de trouble étrange Où l'on entend rire les anges Avant même de se toucher Pour cette robe que l'on frôle Ce châle quittant vos épaules En haut des marches d'escalier
Je vous aime Je vous aime
Pour la lampe déjà éteinte Et la première de vos plaintes La porte à peine refermée Pour vos dessous qui s'éparpillent Comme des grappes de jonquilles Aux quatre coins du lit semés Pour vos yeux de vague mourante Et ce désir qui s'impatiente Aux pointes de vos seins levés
Je vous aime Je vous aime
Pour vos toisons de ronces douces Qui me retiennent me repoussent Quand mes lèvres vont s'y noyer Pour vos paroles démesure La source le chant la blessure De votre corps écartelé Pour vos reins de houle profonde Pour ce plaisir qui vous inonde En long sanglots inachevés
Lonely City Composer(s): Geoff Goddard Performer(s): John Leyton
Deep in the heart of a lonely city I wandered sad and all alone Then in the heart of a lonely city I saw the girl that I want for my own
She, just like me, was alone in the city A-searchin' for someone who really could care Then in a moment I'd lost my heart To this lovely young girl who was standing there
Say, little girl, you've taken my loneliness away You and your smile have turned my night into day Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ohh-ooh-ooh
Well, now in the heart of a lonely city I'll never wander sad and alone Evermore by my side and holding my hand Is this lovely young girl that I've made my own
Say, little girl, you've taken my loneliness away You and your smile have turned my night into day Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ohh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
I Could Never Miss You (More Than I Do) Composer(s): Neil Harrison Performer(s): Lulu; Rosie & The Originals
Finders not keepers And all that's left is just reminders Love in pieces, the debris and the dust of memories That linger so long The heartaches that keep hanging on Just wondering where it all went wrong And whether I can start anew Oh, but I could never miss you more than I do
(Loving you like this, oh, I could never miss you more than I do) (Loving you like this, oh, I could never miss you more than I do)
Beggers can't be choosers And I've had my share of backing nothing, but losers But if I searched the whole world over From pillar to post You're the one that I need the most If I combed this land from coast to coast Who would take the place of you 'Cause I could never miss you more than I do
(Loving you like this, oh, I could never miss you more than I do) No more than I do, Baby (Loving you like this, oh, I could never miss you more than I do)
I couldn't love you any better, I couldn't love you any more 'Cause I spend each and every second, each and every hour Hoping you'll be at my door (Loving you like this, oh, I could never miss you more than I do) More than I do, Baby (Loving you like this, oh, I could never miss you more than I do) (Loving you like this, oh, I could never miss you more than I do) Ooooooh, no more, Baby (Loving you like this, oh, I could never miss you more than I do) More than I do-ooo-ooo-oooooh (Loving you like this ...)
