Ti prego
non sciupare con le lacrime
i pochi brevi istanti che ci restano
sorridimi
è il più bel regalo che tu
tu puoi fare a me

non mi dire addio
sai che tornerò

non mi dire addio
se devo andarmene
se potessi farlo
non ti lascerei
sai che resterei dove sei tu

questo amore grande
che sentiamo in noi
non potrà finire
se tu lo vorrai
e se da lontano
tu mi penserai
io sarò con te
sempre con te

non mi dire addio
sai che tornerò

non mi dire addio
se devo andarmene

fino al mio ritorno
tu mi aspetterai
e mi avrai con te
sempre con te

I Have You

Sailors have the seven seas and four strong winds that blow
drifters have the next town down the road
Gamblers have the chance to bet the ace that's in the hole
soldiers have the hope of coming home
and the flowers have the early April rain
believers have what they have never seen
and the dreamers have tomorrow if today does not come true
You have eyes that shine, and I have you
Heroes have their names engraved forever in a stone
hermits have their peace of mind alone
Lovers have each other and a small slice of the moon
God still bless the child who has his own
And the flowers have the early April rain
believers have what they have never seen
and the dreamers have tomorrow if today does not come true
you have eyes that shine, and I have you
The flowers have the early April rain
believers have what they have never seen
and the dreamers have tomorrow if today does not come true
You have eyes that shine, and I have you

Lourds
Soudains semblent lourds
Les draps, les velours
De ton lit
Quand j'oublie
Jusqu'à notre amour

Lourds
Soudain semblent lourds
Tes bras qui m'entourent
Déjà dans la nuit
Un bateau part
S'en va quelque part
Des gens se séparent
J'oublie
J'oublie

Tard
Autre part
Dans un bar d'acajou
Des violons nous rejouent
Notre mélodie
(Mais j'oublie)
Tard
Dans ce bar
Dansant joue contre joue
Tout devient flou et j'oublie

Court
Le temps semble court
Le compte à rebours
De nos nuits
Quand j'oublie
Jusqu'à notre amour

Court
Le temps semble court
Quand tes doigts parcourent
Ma ligne de vie
Sans un regard
Des amants s'égarent
Sur un quai de gare
J'oublie
J'oublie

and multiple other artists



Tonight we love while the moon
Beams down in dream light tonight
We touch the stars
Love is ours
Night winds that sigh
Embrace the sky
Tonight we love in the glow
That glows so softly I know
This wasn't meant to borrow but tomorrow
Will it be gone
Or will it always live on
Tonight we love

I Have Waited So Long
Composer(s): Mick Jones
Performer(s): Foreigner



I have waited oh, so long
Please don't tell me baby I was wrong
Dreaming of you every night
Holding back until the time was right
I've counted the days, day after day
Since we've been apart
Now I've found my way, I've found my way
Right back to your heart
I've been searching for you every where
Calling you, but you were never there
Seeking in the dark of night
Hoping one day you would shine a light
I've counted each day, day after day
Since we've been apart
Now I've found my way, I've found my way
Right back to your heart
I have waited oh, so long
Please don't tell me baby I was wrong
Dreaming of you every night, every night, every night
Holding back until the time was right
Ooh, I have waited so long
Aah, don't tell me I was wrong
I dream of you, I'm dreaming of you baby
Don't go away

J'Ôte Le Veston
Composer(s): Pierre Roche; Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Je suis chatouilleux de nature
Je l'avoue j'ai le sang bouillant
Ça m'entraîne dans les aventures
Les plus cocasses évidemment
L'autre soir dans un café
Je me sens bousculé
Par qui, je ne sais pas
Il était derrière moi
D'un bond je me lève, hors de moi

J'ôte le veston, le gilet, la cravate
Car aux entournures je n'aime pas être gêné
Ce n'est vraiment pas pour vous faire de l'épate
Mais j'ai horreur qu'on me marche sur les pieds
Alors je crie d'une voix de tonnerre
Celui qu'a fait ça peut compter ses osselets
Il se réveillera de main à Lariboisière
Qu'il approche si ce n'est pas un dégonflé
Je vois venir un mousse, une armoire
Une masse informe dans les deux cents kilos
Avec des mains larges comme des battoirs
Toutes prêtes à filer des ramponneaux
Avant qu'il me touche je m'étais débiné

Je dois l'avouer, de nature
Je suis extrêmement amoureux
Et j'adore les aventures
Qui me rendent très vaniteux
L'autre jour je vois passer
Une femme, une beauté
Marchant à petits pas
L'attaque cela va de soi
Chez elle je fais comme chez moi

J'ôte le veston, le gilet, la cravate
Car aux entournures je n'aime pas être gêné
Ce n'est vraiment pas pour vous faire de l'épate
Pour une beauté, c'était une beauté
Elle paraissait follement amoureuse
Sue le divan elle était allongée
Elle prenait des poses si langoureuses
Que même un saint se serait laisser damner
Je m'approchais, j'étais sûr de moi-même
Bombant le torse comme un vrai conquérant
Mais au moment de me dire je t'aime
Elle dit pour toi ce sera cinq cents francs
En un clin d'oeil je me suis rhabillé
Avant de l'aimer je m'étais débiné

Un jour plein de mélancolie
Déçu de tout même de l'amour
Je voulus arrêter ma vie
Et pour mettre fin à mes jours
Je voulais un revolver
Mais ça coûtait trop cher
Le gaz ça sent pas bon
Je préfère un plongeon
Je me prépare au grand bouillon

J'ôte le veston, le gilet, la cravate
Car aux entournures je n'aime pas être gêné
Je ne sais pas nager, y'a pas de raison que je me rate
Pour en finir je n'ai donc qu'à plonger
Je veux mourir, j'en suis sûr, mais quand même
Faut que je prends mon courage à deux mains
En essayant de me passer de la troisième
Tout à rater car je manquais d'entrain
Alors afin d'avoir plus de courage
Je suis entré dans un petit bistro
J'ai bu, j'ai bu tellement que j'enrage
Le goût de vivre m'est revenu subito
Tant bien que mal je me suis rhabillé
Et en zigzaguant je me suis débiné

I know tonight she comes

I Have Lived
French & Italian Titles: J'ai Vécu; Ho Vissuto
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Hirshhorn
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



When I take a one-way ticket to the road of no return
on a journey every man must make some day
When it's time to meet the Father
and explains my sins away
I will tell him, yes I'll tell him I have lived

I have lived each single moment as a man of flesh and blood
with my soul and all my senses open wide
I have lived and tasted everything that called out to be tried 
and afraid of either heaven or of hell
never caring if I had a soul to sell

I was no more optimistic than my fellow man would be
I have always been an artist, not a saint
Now  the moonlights are dimming
no more costumes, no more paint
I admit that I was selfish, I have lived

I have lived a life of running, after joy and happiness
with a new dream always tearing at my heart
Oh my Lord, I should have thought of my salvation at the start
but on Earth so many mornings I was told
you would take a sinner back into the fall

If my reasons seem too fragile and my words have no effect 
and forgiveness is the one thing I must win
I'll explain my live and show you all I am and all I've been 
and I'll say for my defence that I have lived

I have lived with soul on fire, with desire in my skin
in the name of all the women I have known
I have worshipped every shrine of love and if I must at all
I'll be ready then to kneel and pay the price
for the yesterdays I spent in Paradise

I have lived my life

We're gonna break out the hats and hooters 
When Josie comes home 
We're gonna rev up the motor scooters 
When Josie comes home to stay 
We're gonna park in the street 
Sleep on the beach and make it 
Throw down the jam till the girls say when 
Lay down the law and break it 
When Josie comes home 

When Josie comes home 
So good 
She's the pride of the neighborhood 
She's the raw flame 
The live wire 
She prays like a Roman 
With her eyes on fire 

Jo would you love to scrapple
She'll never say no 
Shine up the battle apple 
We'll shake 'em all down tonight 
We're gonna mix in the street 
Strike at the stroke of midnight 
Dance on the bones till the girls say when 
Pick up what's left by daylight 
When Josie comes home

When Josie comes home 
So bad 
She's the best friend we ever had 
She's the raw flame 
The live wire 
She prays like a Roman 
With her eyes on fire 

When Josie comes home 
So good 
She's the pride of the neighborhood 
She's the raw flame 
The live wire 
She prays like a Roman 
With her eyes on fire

I Have Found The Lord
French Title: J'ai Trouvé Le Seigneur
Performer(s): Jeanine Deckers (aka The Singing Nun)



I found the Lord on the shore
I found the Lord in the pearly shells

Little boat on the waters
Sail away, sail away
Little boat on the waters
Take my soul to the sky

I found the Lord in the breeze
I found the Lord
In the misty wind

Little boat on the waters
Sail away, sail away
Little boat on the waters
Take my soul to the sky

I found the Lord in the sand
I found the Lord
in the dreamy swells

Little boat on the waters
Sail away, sail away
Little boat on the waters
Take my soul to the sky

I found the Lord in the mist
I found the Lord
In the sunset on the dunes

Performer(s): Peter Maffay



Wenn and're froh sind
ist sie traurig
und ihre Freundin ist die Nacht
und sie träumt oft tagelang mit dem Wind

wenn er von Süden kommt
und Sehnsucht klingt in der Stimme
wenn sie lacht.
Sie hat ein Kleid aus Sonnenschein
und traut sich nicht
es anzuzieh'n
und nur heimlich
wenn es keiner merkt

sieht man sie darin spazierengehn
und etwas in ihr will fast zerspringen

Josie
Josie
es ist soweit
Vergiß die Mädchenträume und halte dich bereit
Der Tag geht abends schlafen und wacht als Morgen auf
Doch aus dem Kind von gestern wird nur langsam eine Frau

Mit jedem Blick in ihren Spiegel
sehn sie zwei Augen fragend an

und ihr Freund
der Wind
ist plötzlich stumm

und kein Traum will mehr wie früher sein

und in der Nacht fühlt sie sich so allein
Mit jedem Tag spürt sie es mehr
und weiß doch nicht
woran sie ist

denn es ist niemand da
der ihr hilft
sich selber zu verstehen
und etwas in ihr will zerspringen

Josie
Josie
es ist soweit
Vergiß die Mädchenträume und halte dich bereit
Der Tag geht abends schlafen und wacht als Morgen auf
Doch aus dem Kind von gestern wird nur langsam eine Frau

Tonight My Heart She Is Crying
Composer(s): Abrams - Moisbe - Reid
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey



(Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away)
(Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away)

Tonight my heart she is crying
Tonight my heart she is sad
Tonight the wind she is sighing
For the love that I had

The Moon is there in the sky above
But not the way it was before
My baby's eyes, filled with shining love
Do not see me anymore (Not see her anymore)

(Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away)
(Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away)

My baby's heart is like the diamond stone
So very beautiful, but cold
My baby's heart is like the diamond stone
So very beautiful, but cold

Tonight my heart she is crying
There is no happiness for me
Tonight my dream she is dying
Like the ripple on the sea

I make the future, I make the plan
The plan she do not turn out right
My baby leave me for another woman
And my heart she cries tonight (Her heart she cries tonight)

Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away
Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away
Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away

I Have Found My Love In You
Composer(s): Gary Moore
Performer(s): Gary Moore



I can still remember
like it was yesterday
the pain inside my heart
as you turned to walk away

I don't know and I don't care
what the people say
I don't know and I don't care
I love you anyway

For I have found my love in you
And I have found a love so true

I can still remember
like it was just the other day
I could have done without those stories
while you're so far away

I don't know, I don't care
what my friends all say
I don't know and I don't care
I love you anyway

For I have found my love in you
And I have found a love so true

Ooh, that first sweet night together
I will remember it forever
I put my heart on the line
Though I knew I was wrong
I would keep holding on

Do you still remember
all those times ago?
When you lay like a flame in my arms
and I could never let you go

For I have found my love in you
And I have found a love so true
Yes, I have found my love in you
And I have found a love so true

I don't know and I don't care
Ooh, that first sweet night together
I don't know, I don't care
I will remember it forever

Performer(s): Raffi



Joshua Giraffe was born in a zoo
He lived there too
For two years and a half 
He hasn't had a bath
My mommy doesn't lick me
Even when I'm sticky from
Candy floss, candy apples, popcorn
Soft drinks, jelly beans and gumdrops
And there must be something better
Than living in this cage
But I'm really not too sure
Because I'm really short of age

Joshua Giraffe was feeling kind of sad
Things were going bad
How little of life he had
Wasting away with no room to play
Trapped in a zoo with buffalo too
So he went next door to the elephant
And asked him what to do
I'm wasting away with no room to play
I'm trapped in a zoom with buffalo too
The elephant was very old and gray
And he had a huge balloon bottom
He said
Never fear Joshua
A vision will appear

That night a dream came to Joshua
And Joshua saw animals like crazy monkeys
And a whole pile of Hippypotostropasuses
And flitty moths
Moths size 12
And sleazy lizards
And a tribe of nasty saviars
But Joshua wasn't afraid
Because he sang himself this song

Nothing can go wrong-o
I'm in the Kongo
Nothing can go wrong-o
I'm in the Kongo
Nothing can go wrong-o
I'm in the Kongo
Nothing can go wrong-o
I'm in the Kongo
Nothing can go wrong-o
I'm in the Kongo
Nothing can go wrong-o
I'm in the Kongo

Even in his dream he knew 
He'd never get away
Not even for a day
Then a peanut hit him on the nose
Joshua Giraffe was back in the zoo
What could he do
Awakened from his dream
He'd never be the same
Because of what he'd seen
He'd seen
Alligators, crocodiles, tree sloth
Anacondas, cobras 
And large winged moths
Orangatangs, baboons eating grapes
Gibbons, rude mandrills and just plain apes

But Joshua was lucky
He had some special friends
And that day they went to the zoo
But he was up tight so they waited till the night
And they chopped his cage in two
He discovered he could fly and
He soared into the sky with them
Wrapped around his neck
And they haven't come back yet
So if you see them get a net

That's right, they haven't come back yet
But when they do, they say they are
Going to free all the animals from their cages
No matter how new or modern
Even some pets too
So if on your way home today
You happen to find....

A baboon basking in the balcony
Or a lion licking a lemon in the lobby
Or a python perched in the pantry
A wildebeest in the W.C.
With a turtle twirling in your tub
Don't be afraid
Just say you're a friend of their friend

Joshua Giraffe, Joshua, Joshua
Joshua Giraffe, Joshua, Joshua

Performer(s): Barbara Mandrell
and multiple other artists



Last night he called from Dallas 
He was havin' a beer at the Crystal Palace
He said honey you won't be alone for long
I got to make just one more stop 
To pick up a ring in Little Rock
And I'm a gonna head this semi straight for home

Fourteen wheels a whinin' 
Four big headlights shinin'
Him and that semi been away too long
Hope he don't get stop from speedin' 
'Cause I've got everything he's needin'
Waitin' for him right here at home

He's got that big ole engine singin' 
Singin' my favorite song
And I know he's headin' my way 
Rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby's comin' home

For ten thousand miles I've missed him 
It's been a week since I kissed him
And forty truckstops since I held him tight
A million chicks and he can get 'em 
They wanna make love and he won't let 'em
The only thing he wants he'll get tonight

He's got that big ole engine singin'
I know he's headin' my way 
Rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby's comin' home
I know he's headin' my way...
I know he's headin' my way...

I Have Eyes
Composer(s): Leo Robin; Ralph Rainger
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



I have eyes to see with
But they see only you
For you have eyes
That put the very stars to shame

I have lips to sigh with
What else am I to do
When you have lips
That fill my very soul with flame

Tonight you’re near to me
In a light bright as day
But you’re so dear to me
I could see you even miles away

I have eyes to see with
And yet when we’re apart
I close my eyes
And see with my heart

Tonight you’re near to me
In a light bright as day
But you’re so dear to me
I could see you even miles away

I have eyes to see with
And yet when we’re apart
I close my eyes
And see with my heart 

Josephine, For Better Or For Worse
Composer(s): Dave Cousins
Performer(s): The Strawbs; Dave Cousins



The years have left their mark
And time must be to blame
To me you're still the same
Josephine, for better or for worse

I thought that I would stay
Always young and free
But now you're part of me
Josephine, for better or for worse

For richer, for poorer
To honour and obey
For better or for worse
You're still the same today ... Josephine

Sometimes our way of life
Has gone against the grain
Yet somehow you remain
Josephine, for better or for worse

I Have Dreamed

I have dreamed that your arms are lovely
And I have dreamed what a joy you'll be
I have dreamed ev'ry word you'll whisper
When you're close, close to me

How you look in the glow of evening
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view
In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you
I will love being loved by you

In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you
I will love being loved by you

A certain maid I know, is so afraid her boy
Will never ask her, will she name the day
He calls on her each night, and when she dims the light
It's ten to one that you would hear her say

Oh Joseph, Joseph, won't you make your mind up
It's time I knew just how I stand with you
My heart's no clock that I can stop and wind up
Each time we make up after being through

So listen Joseph, Joseph time is fleeting
And here and there my hair is turning grey
My mother has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear
Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day

Oh Joseph, won't you name the day
Oh Joseph, won't you name the day
Oh Joseph, won't you name the day
Name the day, name the day

Oh Joseph, make your mind up
It's time I knew just how I stand with you
My heart's no clock that I can wind up
Oh Joseph, each time we make up after being through

Oh Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, time is fleeting
And here and there my hair is turning grey
My mama has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear
Oh Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day
