Tonight Will Live Composer(s): Ned Washington - Agustín Lara Performer(s): Dorothy Lamour; Bunny Berigan
Tonight, tonight will live forever Tonight, tonight will vanish never Heaven has hung the stars out in their places This is the night for love and warm embraces The leaves are wet, the breeze is tender The scene is set for sweet surrender Thousands of nights may come while we're together But I know that tonight (hum) Will live forever!
I Haven't Got Anything Better To Do Composer(s): Lee Pockriss; Paul Vance Performer(s): Astrud Gilberto and multiple other artists
I never loved him, he never reached me He was just someone, someone I knew I think about him on alternate Thursdays When I havent got anything better to do
Hes got a problem if he thinks I need him I couldnt care less now that were through I only sit home and I wait for his phone call When I havent got anything better to do
Wasnt I awfully smart not to fall and break my heart He never meant a thing to me, hes gone Im glad, Im free And when he kissed me, no no he never moved me Nothing fantastic, thrilling or new So if Im crying, Im only crying Cause I havent got anything better No I havent got anything better I havent got anything better to do without you I never loved him, no he never moved me Nothing fantastic
Jouez Bouzouki Composer(s): Sylvain Lebel; Jean Kluger; Daniel Vangarde Performer(s): Dalida
Hey! Vous tous, où allez vous comme ça Qu'es ce que c'est que tous ces cris de joies Mais dis donc grand-père qu'es ce que tu fais là À danser dans la rue comme Zorba On dirait qu'il pleut là bas Regarde le bon Dieu nous offre le champagne C'est la fête à qui c'est le printemps de quoi On en sais rien mais on y vas
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki Que l'hiver vole en éclat Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki Pour moi Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki C'est la fête à qui voudras Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki Pour moi
Il nous arrive de tous les cotés Des gens qui n'avaient jamais dansés Il y a des femmes en noir et en couleurs Des enfants qui rient et des vieux qui pleurent Tambourin, Guitare et Marimba Le matin ne s'en remettra pas C'est la fête à qui c'est le printemps de quoi
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki Que l'hiver vole en éclat Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki Pour moi C'est la fête à qui voudras Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki Pour moi
Hey! Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki Que l'hiver vole en éclat Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki Pour moi C'est la fête à qui voudras Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki Pour moi

Joue Pas De Rock 'N' Roll Pour Moi Composer(s): Mike Chapman; Nicky Chinne Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Nous n'avons plus rien à nous dire Je suis plus dur que tu ne crois Ne te sers pas de souvenirs Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!
J'ai fait ce qu'un homme devait faire pour mériter ce nom Mais le doute et la folie marchaient à tes cotés Tu oses parler de ton retour et de nos souvenirs Avec une voix qui grince comme un 45 tours usé Chaque mot est un mensonge à travers un sourire
Nous n'avons plus rien à nous dire Je suis plus dur que tu ne crois Ne te sers pas de souvenirs Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!
Je crois que je vais rester sourd pendant très longtemps Avec le sourire de la vengeance sur les lèvres Les bras croisés sur 1e cur qui bat de tous son sang Les yeux tournés vers l'horizon d'où sortent les rêves Demain tu hurleras tes mensonges dans le vent
Nous n'avons plus rien à nous dire Je suis plus dur que tu ne crois Ne te sers pas de souvenirs Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!
Throw my ticket out the window Throw my suitcase out there, too Throw my troubles out the door I don't need them any more 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you
I should have left this town this morning But it was more than I could do Oh, your love comes on so strong And I've waited all day long For tonight when I'll be staying here with you
Is it really any wonder The love that a stranger might receive You cast your spell and I went under I find it so difficult to leave
I can hear that whistle blowin' I see that stationmaster, too If there's a poor boy on the street Then let him have my seat 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you
Throw my ticket out the window Throw my suitcase out there, too Throw my troubles out the door I don't need them any more 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you
I Haven't Been Home For Three Whole Nights Performer(s): Spike Jones & His City Slickers
I haven't been home for three whole nights Three whole nights, three whole nights I haven't been home for three whole nights Last night, tonight and tomorrow
Been having some fun for three whole nights Three whole nights, three whole nights Been having some fun for three whole nights Last night, tonight and tomorrow
Now I lost my wife's last money And I didn't care But now I'm really worried 'Cause somebody's moved my house somewhere
I haven't been home for three whole nights Three whole nights, practically a fortnight I haven't been home for three whole nights Last night, tonight and tomorrow
My wife, she up and left me Yes, I guess she was provoked She said I had bad habits She couldn't stand a man who smoked
I haven't been home for three whole nights Three whole nights, three whole nights I haven't been home for three whole nights Last night, tonight and... and yester... no, no Last night, tonight and to... no, no Well, it really doesn't matter I'm going to get heck when I get home, anyway!
J'Oublierai Ton Nom Composer(s): Michael Jones; Jean-Jacques Goldman Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday; Florent Pagny
De semaines inutiles en futiles dimanches De secondes immobiles aux aiguilles qui penchent J'oublierai ton nom
De quatre nouveaux murs dans un autre quartier De pinceaux de peinture en meubles à installer J'oublierai ton nom
De la piste suante à la dernière danse De quelques nuits de feu aux matinées de cendres De cette agitation dénuée de tout sens Du fond de ma raison jusqu'à mon inconscience
De la main d'un ami au baiser d'une bouche Tous ceux qui sauront lire que le mal a fait mouche J'oublierai ton nom
J'oublierai ton nom De mille façons Et cette certitude Me fait plus mal encore J'aimais cette blessure C'était toi encore
I know it's been tough I've hurt you enough But you'll never see That I must be free Forget my name
You'll find someone, somewhere All your troubles to share She'll wipe out the past And fell at last Forget my name
All the good and bad times We've ever had Will seem so far away Will be lonely sad
There's hundreds of ways To kill away the time That's how you are made You know you'll never be mine
De la main d'un ami Au baiser d'une bouche Tous ceux qui sauront lire Que le mal a fait mouche J'oublierai ton nom
J'oublierai ton nom De mille façons Et cette certitude Me fait plus mal encore J'aimais cette blessure C'était toi encore
J'oublierai ton nom De mille façons
Pour les mêmes raisons qui m'ont fait t'aimer Parce qu'il fallait bien vivre avant d'oublier
J'oublierai ton nom De mille façons Et cette certitude M'est la pire des morts J'aimais cette blessure C'était toi encore

I Have You Composer(s): Pete Nelson; Gene Nelson Performer(s): Glen Campbell; Bridget Ball
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
Tonight We Love ((Adapted from: Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto in B-Flat Minor)) Composer(s): Ray Austin - Freddy Martin - Bobby Worth Performer(s): Tony Martin 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
Tonight She Comes Composer(s): Ric Ocasek Performer(s): The Cars; Action Action
I know tonight she comes She's taken a swipe at fun She gives me a reason The sight in my sights Well I know tonight she comes
She channels me up She does it with ease And sometimes she passes through me Just like a breeze She gives me a reason For feelin' alright, oh well (Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight (Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight (Know tonight) (I know tonight) she comes
I know she goin' to do it to me One more time I know she gonna to stay implanted In my mind Why does she keep me hangin' On the line
I know she goin' to do it to me One more time (one more time) I know she gonna to stay implanted In my mind Oh, why does she keep me hangin' On the line, oh yeah
I know the way that she feels And all of the hearts that she steals She tells me it's easy When you do it right, oh well Well I know tonight she comes
She tells me it's easy When you do it right (Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight (Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight (Know tonight) (I know tonight) she comes
I know tonight (I know tonight) Oh yeah (I know tonight) Well, I know tonight (Know tonight) (I know tonight) 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

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
