They say that you will never settle down They say that you just have to run around But they don't realize you're in for a big surprise Tonight you're gonna fall in love with me
I'm gonna treat you like you're a king (you're a king) To win your lovin' I'll do anything (anything) I'm gonna treat you fine, I'm gonna make you mine Tonight you're gonna fall in love with me
All the girls are after you, it really shows (that you know) But tonight I'll hold you tight & you will be (he will be) In love with me (in love with me)
Before you know it, you will be my guy (be my guy) My friends will turn their heads when we walk by (we walk by) One kiss will be the start, one kiss will win your heart
(repeat): Tonight you're gonna fall in love with me...
I Hear A Dream Composer(s): Leo Robin; Ralph Ranger Performer(s): Vera Lynn and multiple other artists
I hear a dream all day The dream that calls to me Come home again you sailor man, sailor man Home again to the sea Where my goal is who can tell Fare thee well my darling, adieu While my soul is on the blue My hearts with you I hear a dream all day A dream that calls to me Come home again you sailor man, sailor man Home again where you should be
Jours De Lumière Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
En ce temps là nous aurions décroché la lune Pour gagner l'tour gratuit au manège de la vie Nous flânions en chemin, nous chantions pour des prunes Cueillant de ci de là le sourire d'une fille
C'était encore le temps des émotions primaires On s'emplissait les yeux d'un couché de soleil Nous n'avions ni le goût, ni le sens des affaires Mais un sens de la vie qui n'a plus son pareil Comme avant, comme avant En ces jours de lumières J'aimerais tant retrouver Les parfums oubliés Des bonheurs ordinaires En ces jours de lumière
C'était aussi le temps des amitiés sans faille Prêts pour tous les départs ensemble à l'arrivée Nous étions deux amis et qu'importait la taille Nous étions deux géants, nous étions une armée
Comme avant, comme avant En ces jours de lumière J'aimerais tant retrouver les parfums oubliés Des bonheurs ordinaires En ces jours de lumière Nous avions tous les pouvoirs Dans nos solitudes d'or Nous gardions tous nos espoirs Nous ne rampions pas encore En ces jours de lumière, en ces jours de lumière En ces jours de lumière...
Et nous passions les nuits à retoucher le monde Et au petit matin, nous avions tout compris Nous avions les idées, nous avions la faconde Tout devait être beau, il suffisait d'un "si" Comme avant, comme avant En ces jours de lumière J'aimerais tant retrouver Les parfums oubliés Des bonheurs ordinaires Comme avant, comme avant En ces jours de lumière J'aimerais tant retrouver Les parfums oubliés Des bonheurs ordinaires
I know (I know) You belong - to somebody new But Tonight you belong to me... Although (Although) We're apart - you're part of my heart... And tonight you belong to me... Way down by the stream... How sweet it will seem... Once more just to dream In the moonlight... My honey I know... With the dawn... that you will be gone... But tonight you belong to me... Way down way down along the stream... How very very sweet it will seem... Once more just to dream in the silvery moonlight... My honey I know... With the dawn... that you will be gone... But tonight you belong to me... Just to little old me...
I Hear A Call To Arms Composer(s): Sam Coslow; Al Siegel Performer(s): Dorothy Lamour
When you blow that horn you thrill me To the marrow of my bones you chill me There it goes, I hear a call to arms La-de-da-de-da Oh the bliss each note expresses Reaching out to me like soft caresses There it goes, I hear a call to arms
And even though you go And this romantic glow may fade One dream you'll never sever `cos when you're gone I'll hear your serenade Echoing in my heart forever
Blow it, slow and low and tender Let my soul respond in sweet surrender There it goes, I hear a call to arms
And even though you go And this romantic glow may fade One dream you'll never sever `cos when you're gone I'll hear your serenade Echoing in my heart forever
Blow it, slow and low and tender Let my soul respond in sweet surrender There it goes, I hear a call to arms
Journey's End Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Pappy Stewart Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Bill Monroe; Jimmie Skinner
Each night brings back my dreams of you I cry and cry I feel so blue You broke my heart so why pretend Because the sign ahead reads journeys end
Chorus: River rollin along Skies are turnin gray Clouds are movin in Ive lost my way I try to smile But why pretend Because the sign ahead Reads journeys end
Ah come in Billy Byrd
Sitting all alone beneath the stars Im wondering where on earth you are Thinking of things that might have been But the sign ahead reads journeys end
Chorus: River rollin along Skies are turnin gray Clouds are movin in Ive lost my way I try to smile But why pretend Because the sign ahead Reads journeys end
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

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 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 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
