Tower Song
Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt
First release: Townes Van Zandt - 1970



So close and yet so far away
And all the things I'd hoped to say
Will have to go unsaid today
Perhaps until tomorrow
Your fears have built a wall between
Our lives and all what loving means
Will have to go unfelt it seems
And that leaves only sorrow
You built your tower strong and tall
Can't you see, it's got to fall someday

You close your eyes and speak to me
Of faith and love and destiny
As distant as eternity
From truth and understanding
The wind blows cold outside your door
It whispers words I've tried before
But you don't hear me anymore
Your pride's just too demanding
You built your tower strong and tall
Can't you see, it's got to fall someday

The end is coming soon it's plain
A warm bed just ain't worth the pain
And I will go and you'll remain
With the bitterness we've tasted
A mother's breast, a newborn child
A poet's tear and drunken smile
I can't help feelin' all the while
Their meaning won't be wasted
You built your tower strong and tall
Can't you see, it's got to fall someday

I Love You More And More Every Day
Composer(s): Don Robertson
Performer(s): Al Martino
and multiple other artists



I love you more and more every day

They said our love was just emotion
That time would slowly fade away
But time's just deepened my devotion
I love you more and more every day

The day you made those tender vows beside me
My joy was more than words could ever say

And, darling, still it grows and grows inside me
I love you more and more every day

The day you made those tender vows beside me
My joy was more than words could ever say

And, darling, still it grows and grows inside me
I love you more and more every day

I love you more and more every day

(Just Like) Starting Over
Composer(s): John Lennon
Performer(s): John Lennon;
and various other artists



Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone 
It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over 
Everyday we used to make it love
Why can't we be making love nice and easy
It's time to spread our wings and fly
Don't let another day go by my love
It'll be just like starting over, starting over 
Why don't we take off alone
Take a trip somewhere far, far away
We'll be together all alone again
Like we used to in the early days
Well, well, well darling 
It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over 
Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere 
Starting over

Stai Lontana Da Me
((Adapted from: Tower Of Strength (Gene McDaniels With The Johnny Mann Singers) - 1961))
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard - Burt Bacharach - Mogol
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano - 1962



Io che ho pianto per te
pregandoti
di stare con me
mi pento, perché
non ti voglio
non ti amo
non ti credo e perciò
stai lontana da me
non cercarmi perché
ho capito chi sei
e le strade sono piene di donne
uguali a te...
Ed io che vivevo per te
scordandomi
chi pianse per me
mi pento, perché
non ti voglio
non ti amo
non ti credo e perciò
s'è ormai chiusa per me
questa storia perché
io ritorno da chi
già sapeva che sarebbe finita
solo così... 

I Love You In The Same Old Way
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka



I remember when we used to be in our teens
A-wearin' bobby socks and old blue jeans
That was long ago, so I'd like to say
I love you in the same old way, uh-hah
I love you in the same old way

Mmmmmm, I remember when we used to babysit your brother
And who was watching us?
Your father and mother
That was long ago and I'd like to say
I love you in the same old way, uh-hah
I love you in the same old way

Now, heaven, I'm in heaven again
And I still remember where and when
And I love you, you still love me, hah
And that's the way its gonna be

Ah, I remember when we were in school
A-learning how to live by the golden rule
That was long ago and I'd like to say
I love you in the same old way, uh-hah
I love you in the same old way

Ho!

Mmmmmm, heaven, I'm in heaven again
And I still remember where and when
I still love you, you know you love me
And that's the way its gonna be

Ho! I remember when we used to be in school
A-learning how to live by the golden rule
That was long ago and I'd like to say
I love you in the same old way, uh-hah
I love you in the same old way, uh-hah
I love you in the same old way, uh-hah

Composer(s): Bob Hilliard - Burt Bacharach
First release: Gene McDaniels With The Johnny Mann Singers - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists



If I were a tower of strength, I'd walk away
I'd look in your eyes and here's what I'd say
"I don't want you, I don't need you, I don't love you any more"
And I'd walk out that door

You'd be down on your knees
You'd be calling to me-ee
But a tower of a-strength is a-something
I'll never be

If I were a tower of strength, I'd watch you cry
I'd laugh at your tears and tell you goodbye
"I don't want you, I don't need you, I don't love you any more"
And I'd walk out that door

You'd be down on your knees
You'd be calling to me-ee
But a tower of a-strength is a-something
I'll never be

"I don't want you, I don't a-need you, I don't love you any more"
And I'd walk out that door

You'd be down on your knees, ahh-huh
You'd be calling to me-ee-ee
But a tower of a-strength is a-something
I'll never be

Ooh, ooh, ooh...

I Love You Honey But I Hate Your Friends
Composer(s): Rick Nielsen
Performer(s): Cheap Trick



I love you honey but I hate your friends 
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me 
Oh yeah 
I love you honey but I hate those friends 

That fat cat Frank got a heart of gold 
He's got a head of lead, he's young but he acts old 
That limp wrested two-fisted diplomat 
Better draw a map, to see where he's at 
Around and round when he rambles on 
About the latest deal we should be in on 
We shouldn't give him the time of day 
He doesn't give a damn if we sink or swim 

I love you honey but I hate your friends 
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me 
Oh yeah 
I love you honey but I hate your friends 

Did some toot, yeah we had a blow 
Look man, no holes, real nose 
When he says hi he really means the moon 
He was there long before Armstrong 
He stays loose, he says, fill her up 
For eternal youth from those Swiss docs
He's thirty but he feels like sixteen 
Check it out: yep, hundred-n-sixteen! 
I love you honey but I hate your friends 
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me 
Oh yeah 
I love you honey, let's dance 

I love you honey but I hate your friends 
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me 
Oh yeah, yeah 
I love you honey but I hate your friends 

Let's see, there's Miss Tique and Miss Informed 
General Disaster, Mister Know-it-all 
Misses A Lot and Private Stock 
Corporal punishment about to blow his mind 
Mister Mock, Mister Completely
Miss de Plot, Miss Story
Mister Call, Mister De Gaulle
The ageing Mister Martin and that ain't all 

I love you honey but I hate your friends 
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me 
Oh yeah 
I love you honey but I hate those friends 

I love you honey but I hate your friends 
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me 
Oh yeah 
I love you honey but I hate your friends 

I love you honey but I hate your friends 
They love your money 
But they'll be the end of me, oh yeah 
I love you honey but I hate your friends

Just Like Paradise
Composer(s): David Lee Roth; Brett Tuggle
Performer(s): David Lee Roth;
Derrick LeFevre; Nick Skitz; Les Vacances



Rockin' steady in her daddy's car
She got the stereo with the big guitars
And that's all right (all right)

I got the itch and a restless soul
She gone with the wind
Gonna go for broke tonight
And that's all night

Girl, we've been meant for this
Since we were born
No problems now (the coast is clear)
It's just the calm before the storm

This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't want to go home

Suzy, Suzy, girl, for cryin' out loud
You got all the right moves
You make me eat my heart out
Nightly and that's all right with me!

No special favors make it out to cash
We'll spend it later
Got to make this romance last that's it, that's it

Some folks say `easy come is easy go'
(And some folks say)
But one night ain't enough for me
Girl, hang on tight and don't let go

This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't want to go home

Toutes Ses Heures Loin De Toi
Composer(s): P. Collins - Didier Barbelivien
Performer(s): Dalida



Nous avons ensemble des moments bleus
Des heures de magie amoureuse
Quand tu glisses ta main dans mes cheveux c'est fou
Et quand tu m'embrasses au coin des yeux c'est doux
Nous avons toujours des rendez-vous
Des instants de soleil entre nous
Et quand tu m'appelles je viens toujours
Sans demander pourquoi
J'ai tellement besoin de te retrouver à moi

Car toutes ces heures loin de toi
Etaient comme cent jours d'exil
Comme une année passée sur l'Himalaya
Comme un été sans cerises
Oui toutes ces heures loin de toi
Etaient comme cent jours d 'exil
J'ai eu peur sans toi de cette solitude
Quand la nuit est sur la ville

Dis-moi des mots d'amour
Dis-moi encore que nous revivrons toujours
Des nuits d'amour dans la poussière d'or
Des cœurs à cœurs corps à corps
J'ai tellement besoin de te retrouver à moi

Car toutes ces heures loin de toi
Etaient comme une prison grise
Car toutes ces heures loin de toi
Etaient comme cent jours d'exil
J'ai eu peur sans toi de cette solitude
Quand la nuit est sur la ville
Oui toutes ces heures loin de toi
Etaient comme une prison grise
Comme une année passée sur l'Himalaya
Comme un été sans cerises
Oui toutes ces heures loin de toi

I Love You Drops
Composer(s): Bill Anderson

Covered by multiple other artists



They're not teardrops just sincere drops they're I love you drops 'cause I love you
They were on my pillow when I woke up this morning
They were on the letter I tried all day to write
And just a little while ago I saw them falling on your picture as I kissed it goodnight
I love you drops I miss you drops hurry home drops you've been gone so long drops
They're not teardrops just sincere drops that say I'm lonesome and I love you

Never knew this heart could hurt the way it hurts for you
Never lived so many lifetimes in a week
Why don't you come back to me the way you said you would
And kiss these softly little crystals off my cheek
I love you drops...

Just Like Me

It's just like me to say to you
Love me do, and I'll be true
But what I'd like for you to say
Is you'll come home to me each day

Awww, you'll be my girl, that's what I want
Just you sweet girl and not a thought
It's just like me to feel so good
And fall so much in love with you

Oh, oh, oh

It's just like me 
It's just like me
I'll act the fool that's how I'll be
But it's just like you to say goodbye
And leave me all alone and cryin', waah!

It's just like me to say to you
Love me do, and I'll be true
But what I'd like for you to say
Is that you'll love me here each day

It's just like me 
It's just like me
I'll act the fool that's how I'll be
But it's just like you to say goodbye
And leave me all alone and cryin', waah!

It's just like you
It's just like me

Toutes Les Nuits
Composer(s): J.Jr. Duncan - C. Nicolas
Performer(s): Dalida



La la la la la la...
Toutes les nuits
Toutes les nuits je fais le même rêve
Toutes les nuits c'est de toi que je rêve
Tu es à moi et moi je suis blottie près de toi
Oh oh oh
Au creux de tes bras

Toutes les nuits jusqu'au jour qui se lève
Toutes les nuits tu viens frôler mes lèvres
Et le bonheur
Eclate comme un grand feu de joie
Oh oh oh dans mon cœur

Quand je m'éveille sans toi
Je suis triste parfois
Mais cela vraiment ne dure pas
Car dès que revient le soir
C'est un nouvel espoir
Qui bientôt me rapproche de toi
La la la la la la...

Toutes les nuits c'est de toi que je rêve
Toutes les nuits je fais le même rêve
Sachant qu'un jour
C'est près de moi que tu rêveras
Waoh, waoh, waoh
Mon amour

La la la la la la...

I Love You Darlin'
Composer(s): Milne; Roberts
Performer(s): Michael Holliday



A simple life, a simple life
A simple life is just the life for me
Don't mix with high-falutin' company
But when my little chick whispers
Love you darlin', love you darlin'
That's enough for me

I've got no time for smarty-party stuff
And maybe I'm considered kinda rough
But when my little chick whispers
Love you, oh I love you darlin'
That's more than enough

I've got the wide open sky I can sing to
I've got a girl of my own I can cling to
I must confess I'm lucky, yes indeed
My happiness is always guaranteed
'cause when my little chick whispers
Love you, Oh oh I love you darlin'
That's just all I need
(whistling)
But when my little chick whispers
Love you darlin', love you darlin'
That's more than enough

I've got the wide open sky I can sing to
I've got a cute little girl of my own I can cling to
I must confess I'm lucky, yes indeed
My happiness is always guaranteed
'cause when my little chick whispers
Love you darlin', love you darlin'
That's just all I need

Got a simple life
Got a simple life
Got a simple life
It's all I really need

Whenever I'm sad, whenever I'm blue
Whenever my troubles are heavy

Now, troubles may come and troubles may go
But you'll always find me ready
Upon the hill, playing still
Just like Eddie

Oooh-oohh-oohhh...

Whenever your troubles are heavy
Beneath the stars you play your guitars
Just like Eddie

Oooh-oohh-oohhh... Come on everybody!

Beneath the stars you play your guitars
Just like Eddie

Oooh-oohh-oohhh... Come on everybody!

J'ai le cœur perdu dans les étoiles
Et par vague j'ai du vague à l 'âme
Quand je met les voiles
Vers aucune escale,Vers aucune halte, vers aucun repos
Tant de fois j'ai cru perdre mon âme
Tant de fois je suis restée en rade
Je pose mes armes les yeux pleins de larmes
En criant le nom de l'homme qui est dans ma peau

Toutes les femmes du monde
Toutes les femmes du monde
Toutes les femmes du monde
On fait comme moi je crois oui

Toutes les femmes du monde
Toutes les femmes du monde

L'amour est un éternel naufrage

Vous marque et vous casse
On ne sait jamais sur quel cœur on doit planter son drapeau

I Love You Best Of All
Composer(s): Charlie Louvin; Ira Louvin
Performer(s): The Louvin Brothers; Johnny Paycheck



I love the silver in your hair
I love the gold that lingers there
I love to see your sweet smiling face
For there is no-one can take your place

I love your eyes, your fingertips
I love to kiss your dear sweet lips
I love to hold you close to my heart
For I love you the best of all

Springtime is here with the flowers
You are my every dream
Gather the sweet scented flowers
Down by the old village green

Your eyes are bright as the sunshine
Your lips are sweet as the dew
Promise that you'll always love me
And I promise I'll always be true

I love the silver in your hair
I love the gold that lingers there
I love to see your sweet smiling face
For there is no-one can take your place

I love your eyes, your fingertips
I love to kiss your dear sweet lips
I love to hold you close to my heart
For I love you the best of all
For I love you the best of all

Just Like A Woman
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan



Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Ev'rybody knows
That Baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl

Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess 
That Baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl

It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear that

I just can't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world.
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl

Toute Une Vie Sans Te Voir
Performer(s): Véronique Sanson



Il est parti comme il était venu
Sans un mot
Avec un sourire au coin de ses lèvres
Et moi
Je rêve encore de lui
Toutes les nuits

Juste ses pas sur le tapis carré
Dans la nuit
Ses yeux qui me voient dans l'obscurité
Sa voix
Que j'entends dans mon rêve
Triste et belle

Change mon destin
Touche moi de loin
Je t'appelle pour rien

Mais ce que je crains c'est de passer
Toute une vie sans te voir
C'est ça qui me fait mal
C'est ça qui me fait vieillir
Toute une vie sans te voir
A seulement t'imaginer
Je suppose
Comme un pauvre prisonnier
Il y a comme un homme qui dort

Il est parti comme il était venu
Sans un mot
Avec une larme coulant sur ces lèvres
Et moi
Je rêve encore de lui
Toutes les nuits
Je reviens de loin
Et je reviens de tout
Mais ce que je crains
C'est de savoir que je vais passer

Toute une vie sans te voir
C'est ça qui me fait mal
C'est ça qui me fait vieillir
C'est ça qui me fait maudire
Certains choix du hasard
Voilà
Le temps passe et passera
J'ai déjà des cheveux gris
Je ne peux plus brûler ma vie

Toute ma vie sans te voir
C'est ça qui me fait mal
C'est ça qui me fait vieillir
Et j'ai perdu mon âme
Quand j'ai perdu ton sourire
Un jour
Quand j'ai tué mon amour
Et j'ai déjà des cheveux gris
Je ne peux plus brûler ma vie

Toute ma vie sans te voir
C'est ça qui me fait mal
C'est ça qui me fait vieillir
Toute une vie sans histoire
A seulement t'imaginer
Toute seule, comme un pauvre prisonnier
Il y a comme un homme qui dort
Qui dort pour oublier

Toute une vie sans me voir
C'est ça qui me fait mal
C'est ça qui me fait vieillir
C'est ça qui me fait maudire
Certains choix du hasard
Voilà
Le temps passe et passera
J'ai déjà des cheveux gris
Je ne peux plus brûler ma vie

Toute ma vie sans te voir
C'est ça qui me fait mal
C'est ça qui me fait vieillir...
