Toujours Aimer Composer(s): Charles Dumont - Michel Rivgauche Performer(s): Edith Piaf; Lua Hadar
On n'a pas dans le cur de quoi toujours aimer Et l'on verse des pleurs en voulant trop aimer On croit être sincère, on croit avoir trouvé Le seul être sur terr' qu'on ne peut remplacer On n'a pas dans le cur de quoi toujours aimer Et l'on verses des pleurs en voulant trop aimer Un jour on se réveill', ce n'est plus tout à fait Le rayon de soleil qui nous embellissait
On regrette le temps où l'on pouvait s'aimer On regrette le temps où le cur s'emballait Il ne nous reste plus que quelques souvenirs De pauvres souvenirs qu'on cherche à retenir
Mais moi, j'ai dans le cur de quoi toujours aimer J'aurai toujours assez de larmes pour pleurer J'aurai toujours assez de rir's pour effacer Les tristes souvenirs accrochés au passé Mais moi, j'ai dans le cur de quoi toujours aimer J'aurai toujours assez de larmes pour pleurer Je veux toujours aimer, je veux toujours souffrir
Si je n'dois plus aimer, mois je préfè' mourir Mais, moi, j'ai dans le curs de quoi toujours aimer Aimer... Aimer...
Just A Game Composer(s): Micky Dolenz Performer(s): The Monkees
There's a way There's a way for you and I If you'll just stay If you'll just stay to keep me hidden from the day And all its light That's covered up by night when you're away When you're away the image of your face is clear It is clear across the room and I am here Against the wall, afraid that it is all Just a game Just a game that's played in fun But not too real Not too real to take a chance on finding out You've really lost I can't see you clearly while I'm here While I'm here and you are in my state of mind My state of mind is changing places all the time And I am lost Trying to get across another time When you're away the image of your face is clear It is clear across the room and I am here Against the wall, afraid that it is all Just a game Just a game Just a game
Toujour Gai Composer(s): Joe Darion - George Kleinsinger Performer(s): Eartha Kitt
My youth I shall never forget But there's nothing I really regret The years I have poured down the drain Have sparkled like gold in champagne
It's cheerio my dearrio Prance and pirouette It's cheerio my dearrio There's a life in me yet
Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai I sing all my troubles away
I don't care to cry with a king But with any old beggar I'll sing I'll dance in the sun or the shade To any old tune that is played
I'll sing 'neath a bleary-eyed moon A rowdy and rollicking tune But no time for sleeping have I I'll sleep long enough when I die
It's cheerio my dearrio Prance and pirouette It's cheerio my dearrio There's a life in me yet
Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai
I'll sing away my troubles They'll vanish like bubbles I'll sing all my troubles away Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai (Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai)

And before you know it you see the moon wink his eye Two hearts are waltzing in swing time So wear a great big smile Cos after all shell never fall for last years style And June comes around every year

Wel, het is zaterdagnacht 'k zag je meteen in die jurk ik hield je stiekem in het oog want in elke man schuilt er een schurk
zo, jij liet iemand in de steek hebt iemands hart grondig verpest wel, als je liefde wil schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest
meisjes willen de ware Jacob of soms 'n doodbrave juul in hun armen en sommigen willen alleen maar het krapuul
maar, hier leer je al gauw (schat) te pakken wat je pakken kan dus als j'er taai genoeg voor bent schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest
de weg is lang voor wie weet waarover 't gaat en ik wil dat je weet dat ik voor jou iedereen achterlaat
als al je vorige vrijers waren geflest in de test en j'er klaar en taai genoeg voor bent schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest
wel, het is hier geen geheim ik heb hier elk meisje gehad wel, ik weet niet schat hoeveel kerels er jou hebben gehad
geef jezelf een kans al wat ik wil horen is een ja als je taaie liefde wil schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest als j'er taai en klaar genoeg voor bent schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest
ik ben taaier dan de rest ik ben taaier dan de rest
I Lost My Sugar In Salt Lake City Composer(s): Leon René; Johnny Lange Performer(s): Johnny Mercer and multiple other artists
I lost my sugar in Salt Lake City Oh, why did I go there? I should have stayed down in New Orleans And never gone nowhere
A man which we talked from kansas city His words were sweet like wine He gave us diamonds & limousines And stole that gal of mine
When night comes creeping For me there ain't no sleeping What she sold, she'll be reaping For she done me wrong I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City The day I heard the news She left me deep in my solitude With the Salt Lake City blues
Salt Lake City is renowned for it's beauty The snowcap sasquatch mountains are nearby In 1929 the factory output was 43 million dollars Wholesale trade amounted to 71 million five hundred & ten thousand five hundred & seventy three dollars Retail trade ninety two million There's salt beds & farm lands producing alfalfa, green, sugar beats & vegetables in the vicinity But as far as I'm concerned I don't care if I ever set foot there again in Salt Lake City That town is a nemesis to me
Man I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City The day I heard the news She left me deep in my solitude With those blues Salt lake City blues
Tougher Than The Rest ((Dutch Version: Taaier Dan De Rest (Kris De Bruyne) - 1989)) Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen First release: Bruce Springsteen - 1987 Covered by multiple other artists
Well It's Saturday night you're all dressed up in blue I been watching you awhile maybe you been watching me too So somebody ran out left somebody's heart in a mess Well if you're looking for love honey I'm tougher than the rest
Some girls they want a handsome Dan or some good-lookin' Joe On their arms some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo Well 'round here baby I learned you get what you can get So if you're rough enough for love honey I'm tougher than the rest
The road is dark and it's a thin thin line But I want you to know I'll walk it for you anytime Maybe your other boyfriends couldn't pass the test Well if you're rough and ready for love honey I'm tougher than the rest
Well it ain't no secret I've been around a time or two Well I don't know baby maybe you've been around too Well there's another dance all you gotta do is say yes And if you're rough and ready for love honey I'm tougher than the rest If you're rough enough for love baby I'm tougher than the rest
They were famous on the trapeze Everywhere the Circus played He would catch her as she twirled While below a dazzled world Would guess about her fate
She knew he was a jealous lover He thought she loved another man No longer could he hold it in She felt his rage begin She saw too late what he had planned
As she cried "Jacamo, don't let go Jacamo, why can't you understand My love and my destiny are in your hands And that's the way it's always been Don't you know, Jacamo"
Panic swept across the moment As it swept across the crowd Her tears glistened in the light As every word she cried Fell unanswered to the ground
Though he wanted to believe her A thousand doubts drove him mad He slowly loosened up his grip Her hands began to slip Borrowed time was all she had
As she cried "Jacamo, don't let go Jacamo, why can't you understand My love and my destiny are in your hands And that's the way it's always been Don't you know, Jacamo"
When every second seemed a lifetime When every prayer would not take kind Suddenly his fingers tightened His heart had changed its mind
High above the vast arena When it appeared that she would die He had looked upon her face But instead of feeling hate He saw love in her eyes There was love in her eyes
As she cried "Jacamo, don't let go Jacamo, why can't you understand My love and my destiny are in your hands And that's the way it's always been Ooh-ooh, Jacamo, don't let go Jacamo, why can't you understand My love and my destiny are in your hands And that's the way it's always been Ooo-ooh, Jacamo" ...
I had a little Corvair And it's really tough Four on the floor and that was enough I took my baby ridin' Now we're goin' for green There's no doubt about it It's a goin' machine
It was a tough little buggy A tough little buggy A tough little buggy My little Corvair My little Corvair
I was out ridin' one Saturday night And then I saw a terrible sight My old buddy had a corvair too And who's my baby with but you know who
It was a tough little buggy A tough little buggy A tough little buggy My little Corvair My little Corvair
I told him he'd better move out of my way For I was there first and I was there to stay He ????? down and I did too We both peeled rubber 'til the was blue
It was a tough little buggy A tough little buggy A tough little buggy My little Corvair My little Corvair
Now we're both walkin' And it's plane to see No more girl for him No more car for me The boys went down Oh, wouldn't you know She's got her own wheels And a bless my soul
It's a tough little buggy A tough little buggy A tough little buggy My little Corvair My little Corvair
Touching Home Composer(s): Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis and multiple other artists
(Today I can feel it touching home)
Today pain became a real life hurtin' thing And the choir of loneliness sang me a song Now I know just what it means to lose a lifetime dream 'Cause today I can feel it touchin' home
No longer do I wonder why men have lost their minds Or wind up in a jungle of flashing neon signs Now I know just how long a man can last when love is gone 'Cause today I can feel it touchin' home
No longer do I wonder why men have lost their minds Or wind up in a jungle of flashing neon signs Now I know just how long a man can last when love is gone 'Cause today I can feel it touchin' home 'Cause today I can feel it touchin' home

I Look At You Composer(s): Johnny Mathis; Jessie Mae Robinson Performer(s): Johnny Mathis; Ray Ellis Orch.
I look at you and I say to myself "What more could I want if I had you?" But I wouldn't dare to speak it out loud I stand and I stare, my head in a cloud
I look at you and I say to my heart "What chance would I have, why let the fire start?" I long to know the thrill of your sweet embrace Yet when we're face to face, I just look at you
I look at you and I say to my heart "What chance would I have, why let the fire start?" I long to know the thrill of your sweet embrace Yet when we're face to face, I just look at you
