I Forgot The Little Things Composer(s): Parker; Charles Performer(s): Leslie Hutchinson
The house is kind of empty now Though its full of dreams Why even our canary never sings That oh so empty chair You should be sitting there But I forgot the little things
I took it all for granted, dear My slippers by the fire The kindness that a love like yours could bring But you drew all the blanks You never got a thanks I forgot the little things
I never thought a small bouquet Could mean so much to you Or what youd give to hear me say Darling I love you, I do
Ill never make the same mistake Ive learnt my lesson now I know they count those foolish little things Forgive me, dear, and then When were in love again I wont forget those little things
I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know Composer(s): Cecil A. Null Performer(s): Skeeter Davis and multiple other artists
I've forgotten more than you'll ever know about him
You think you know the smile on his lips The thrill at the touch of his fingertips But I've forgotten more than you'll ever know about him You think you'll find a heaven of bliss In each caress each tender kiss But I've forgotten more than you'll ever know about him
You stole his love from me one day You didn't care how you hurt me But you can never steal away Memories of what used to be
You think he's your's to have and to hold Someday you'll learn when his love grows cold That I've forgotten more about him Than you'll ever know about him
You think he's yours to have and to hold Someday you'll learn when his love grows cold But I've forgotten more Than you'll ever know about him

J'imagine La révolte prêchée par quelque douce femme Deux mille ans de prison dévorés par les flammes J'imagine L'amour faisant l'amour la vie faisant le reste Une révolution sans un mot sans un geste
Et la grande libert Au poing la rose Et la grande liberté La rose au poing Et la grande liberté La rose au poing
J'imagine Un peuple dynamite et pourtant sans défense Tout en lui ne serait qu'amour et transparence J'imagine Un hiver tout de neige et fleurissant quand même Pour des femmes-chansons pour des hommes-poèmes
Et la grande liberté Au poing la rose Et la grande liberté La rose au poing Et la grande liberté La rose au poing
J'imagine L'Occident sans ghettos le Brésil sans torture Et l'Afrique riant comme source d'eau pure J'imagine Le soleil se levant sur l'Asie douce et libre La vie enfin la vie comme il faudra la vivre
Et la grande liberté Au poing la rose Et la grande liberté La rose au poing Et la grande liberté La rose au poing
I Figli Della Guerra
((French Version: Les Enfants De La Guerre (by Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Georges Calabrese - Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Tutti i figli di guerra assomigliano a te Con l'età di un bambino che bambino non è Su di un pianto di madre venivi al mondo tu Tutti i figli di guerra han veduto con te Lacerarsi la terra senza un vero perché Il tuo campo di giochi cresceva intorno a te Un giardino di croci, che un giardino non è Tutti i figli di guerra sanno questa realtà Che la fame è sicura, il domani chissà Hanno un viso da grandi che non chiede e non sa Il diritto all'amore che nessuno gli dà Tutti i figli di guerra alla stessa tua età Han dormito ad un canto che la gioia non ha Han dormito ad un canto che la gioa non ha E imparato a tacere se una parola in più Troppe volte vuol dire non tornare mai più Tutti i figli di guerra, ieri come sei tu Hanno occhi profondi che non ridono più Grandi mani straniere hanno ucciso per te Tutte le primavere che spettavano a te Come te, senza amore, senza infanzia né età Indifesi a tremare per quel che sarà Han sofferto in silenzio il rosario dei guai Carezzando speranze per non cedere mai Sulle nostre miserie di sempre io e te, s Trano a dirsi, cantiamo e sogniamo perché Questo amore è una guerra che non spaventa me Né tutti i figli di guerra, come te, come me

I Feel The Earth Move Composer(s): Carole King First release by: Carole King - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down I feel my heart start to trembling Whenever you're around
Ooh, baby, when I see your face Mellow as the month of May Oh, darling, I can't stand it When you look at me that way
I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down I feel my heart start to trembling Whenever you're around
Oh, darling, when you're near me And you tenderly call my name I know that my emotions Are something I just can't tame I've just got to have you, baby
I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down I just lose control Down to my very soul I get a hot and cold all over I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down Tumbling down, tumbling down...
Jim Composer(s): Caesar Petrillo; Edward Ross; Nelson Shawn Performer(s): Billie Holiday; and various other artists
Why am I sitting alone tonight when I could be out where the lights are bright? It's all because of Jim It's all because of Jim Why am I wasting these precious years? Why am I crying these bitter tears? It's all because of Jim It's all because of Jim
(Chorus): Jim doesn't ever bring me pretty flowers Jim never tries to cheer my lonely hours Don't know why I'm so crazy for Jim Jim never tells me I'm his heart's desire I never seem to set his love afire Gone are the years I've wasted on him
Sometimes when I get feeling low I say "Let's call it quits" Then I hang on and let him go Breaking my heart in bits Some day I know that Jim will up and leave me But even if he does you can believe me I'll go on carrying the torch for Jim

Maria:
I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and gay!
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight
I feel charming
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real
See the pretty girl in that mirror there
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!
Girls:
Have you met my good friend Maria
The craziest girl on the block?
You'll know her the minute you see her
She's the one who is in an advanced state of shock
She thinks she's in love
She thinks she's in Spain
She isn't in love
She's merely insane
It must be the heat
Or some rare disease
Or too much to eat
Or maybe it's fleas
Keep away from her
Send for Chino!
This is not the
Maria we know!
Modest and pure
Polite and refined
Well-bred and mature
And out of her mind!
Maria:
I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
That the city should give me its key
A committee
Should be organized to honor me
Girls:
La la la la...
Maria:
I feel dizzy
I feel sunny
I feel fizzy and funny and fine
And so pretty
Miss America can just resign!
Girls:
La la la la...
Maria:
See the pretty girl in that mirror there
Girls:
What mirror where?
Maria:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Girls:
Which? What? Where? Whom?
Maria:
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
Girls:
Such a pretty me!
All:
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!
