Each Night At Nine Composer(s): Floyd Tillman
First release by: Floyd Tillman - 1944
Covered by multiple other artists
A thousand miles dear a thousand more Across the water across the shore I'll say a prayer dear for your and mine Please think of me dear each night at nine
I hold your picture close to my heart It takes your place dear while we're apart Helps remind me that you're still mine To feel your nearness each night at nine
The bugle's playing out goes the light Gee but it's lonely these Army nights Please tell kiddies I'm doing fine Give them my love dear each night at nine
A thousand miles dear a thousand more Across the water across the shore I'll say a prayer dear for your and mine Please think of me dear each night at nine
Travelin' Shoes Composer(s): Clancy Hayes Performer(s): Clancy Hayes
Travelin' shoes, I have news for you We're takin' off tomorrow at ten I just got a note from a gal who wrote She wants to see us again
Travelin' shoes, you carried me Over many wearyin' miles And you know the route, so don't give out For a little while
And at the gate, I'll keep a permanent date With my honey, so sunny What is more, I'll never stray from her door again Goin' gome and then
Travelin' shoes, I'll be through with you I'm settin' out to settle right down I'm gonna lose these homeless blues Back in my home town
Travelin' shoes, I'll be through with you Takin' off to settle right down And I'm gonna lose these homeless blues Back in my home town Split Lip, Nevada Back in that one horse town

J'y Pense Et Puis J'oublie
((Adapted from: It Comes And Goes (Burl Ives) - 1963))
((Dutch Version: De Tijd Komt En Gaat Voorbij (Johnny Lion) - 1966))
Composer(s): Bill Anderson - Claude François
Performer(s): Claude François - 1964
Tout le monde me demande si je t'aime encore Et si je pense encore à toi Ils me demandent de parler de mon cur C'est triste depuis de long mois. Je mens un petit peu, et je dis fièrement Cette histoire est finie Mais je dois avouer que certains soirs peut-être Parfois j'ypense et puis j'oublie
J'y pense et puis j'oublie J'y pense surtout quand je suis seul la nuit Et quand ton souvenir Revient me faire souffrir Très vite j'y pense et puis j'oublie
Tout le monde me demande si j'ai pleuré Et si je pleure encore pour toi Mais s'ils me le demandent C'est tout simplement pour pouvoir rire de moi Si je mens un petit peu et que je dis fièrement Je n'ai jamais pleuré de ma vie C'est tout juste si mes yeux me picotent un peu Lorsque j'y pense et puis j'oublie
J'y pense et puis j'oublie J'y pense surtout quand je suis seul la nuit Et quand ton souvenir Revient me faire souffrir Très vite j'y pense et puis j'oublie
J'y pense et puis j'oublie Mais j'y pense beaucoup plus que je n'oublie Car tout au fond de moi Je sens que cet amour J'y pense j'y penserai toujours J'y pense j'y penserai toujours
Travelin' Man Composer(s): Tom Johnston Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers
The sun brings up another day near the little fishin' town The nets are hung out in the wind The sails are down A seagull flies above my head spinning slowly toward the sea He seems so free, and just like me he rides the wind
I'm a trav-'lin' man Nothin' left behind me but the road I'm a trav-'lin' man Won't you share the load?
Lonesome shepherd in the field ahead Moonlight flows across the grass The rocky hills catch the light above their shadows cast Lonely by the day, drifting late at night The wind is creepin' through my ragged coat What a life!
I'm a trav-'lin' man Nothin' left behind me but the road I'm a trav-'lin' man Won't you share the load?
I'm a trav-'lin' man Nothin' left behind me but the road I'm a trav-'lin' man Won't you share the load?
I'm a trav-'lin' man Nothin' left behind me but the road I'm a trav-'lin' man Won't you share the load?
I Need You Composer(s): Gerry Beckley Performer(s): America
We used to laugh We used to cry We used to bow our heads then Wonder why
But now you're gone I guess I'll carry on And make the best of what you've left to me Left to me, left to me
I need you Like the flower needs the rain You know I need you Guess I'll start it all again You know I need you Like the winter needs the spring You know I need you I need you
And every day I'd laugh the hours away Just knowing you were thinking of me Then it came That I was put to blame For every story told about me About me, about me

J'Veux Pas Qu'Tu Partes Composer(s): Claude Barzotti; Anne-Marie D'Gaspard Performer(s): Claude Barzotti
Moi qui n'ai su aimer vraiment Aucune des femmes de ma vie Je crois que je sais maintenant Pourquoi je n'ai jamais grandi À force de toujours chercher À travers elle une autre toi Je crois que je me suis trompé D'histoire d'amour à chaque fois
Si j'ai toujours été, c'est vrai De tes deux fils le mouton noir Dieu sait combien tu m'as aimé Tu n'as jamais cessé d'y croire... On a fait les quatre cents coups Et toi tu nous pardonnais tout Et tu trouvais toujours les mots Pour excuser tous nos défauts
Et si le temps t'arrache à moi Faut vraiment que tu saches, crois-moi Tu resteras comme une flamme Tu resteras la seule femme
{Refrain:} Je veux pas que tu partes, non pas maintenant Demain ... plus tard... on a le temps Débrouille toi comme tu voudras Mais surtout, non, ne t'en va pas...! Je veux pas que tu partes c'est bien trop tôt On doit fêter tes noces d'or Sarah s'est choisie un chapeau Tu ne peux pas partir encore Là-haut, là-haut, là-haut Pas de fleurs, pas d'oiseaux Là-haut, là-haut Pas d'enfants, de cerceaux Là-haut, là-haut Là-haut y'a rien à voir N'y va pas, je ne veux pas Reste avec nous, reste avec moi!
Sur les routes de nos voyages C'est toi qui montrais le chemin Toi qui avais tous les courages Et qui tenais tête au destin! Je t'en ai fait des cheveux blancs Des rides au creux de ton visage Toi qui as dompté tous les vents Montré de quoi tu es capable!
Et si le temps t'arrache à moi Faut vraiment que tu saches, crois-moi Tu resteras comme une flamme Tu resteras la seule femme
Travelin' Man Composer(s): Bob Seger Performer(s): Bob Seger
Up with the sun, gone with the wind She always said I was lazy Leavin my home, leavin my friends Runnin when things get too crazy Out on thr road, out neath the stars Feelin the breeze, passin the cars
Women have come, women have gone Everyone tryin to cage me Some were so sweet, I barely got free Others, they only enraged me Sometimes at night, I see their faces I feel the traces they left on my soul Those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul
Travelin man, love when I can Turn loose my hand cause Im goin Travelin man, catch if you can But sooner or lare Im goin Travelin man... travelin man, yes I am
Sometimes at night, I see their faces I feel the traces they left on my soul These are the memories that made me a wealthy soul These are the memories that made me a wealthy soul
I Need To Be In Love Composer(s): John Bettis; Richard Carpenter; Albert Hammond First release by: The Carpenters - 1976 Covered by multiple other artists
The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing There's someone in this crazy world for me The way that people come and go through temporary lives My chance could come and I might never know
I used to say "No promises, let's keep it simple" But freedom only helps you say goodbye It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free The price I paid is high enough for me
I know I need to be in love I know I've wasted too much time I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world And fool enough to think that's what I'll find
So here I am with pockets full of good intentions But none of them will comfort me tonight I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all right
I know I need to be in love I know I've wasted too much time I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world And fool enough to think that's what I'll find
So here I am with pockets full of good intentions But none of them will comfort me tonight I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all right
I know I need to be in love I know I've wasted too much time I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

Travailler, c'est trop dur, et voler, c'est pas beau D'mander la charité, c'est quéqu' chose j'peux pas faire Chaque jour que moi j' vis, on m' demande de quoi j'vis J' dis que j' vis sur l'amour, et j'espère de viv' vieux!

I Need A Miracle Composer(s): John Perry Barlow; Bob Weir Performer(s): Grateful Dead
I need a woman 'bout twice my age A lady of nobility, gentility and rage Splendor in the dark, lightning on the draw We'll go right through the book and break each and every law
I got a feeling and it won't go away, oh no Just one thing, then I'll be okay I need a miracle every day
I need a woman 'bout twice my height Statuesque, raven-dressed, a goddess of the night Her secret incantations, a candle burning blue We'll consult the spirits. maybe they'll know what to do
And it's real, and it won't go away, oh no Can't get around, and I can't run away I need a miracle every day
I need a woman 'bout twice my weight A ton of fun who packs a gun with all her other freight Find her in a sideshow, leave her in L.A. Ride her like a surfer running on a tidal wave
And it's real, believe what I say, yeah Just one thing that I got to say I need a miracle every day
It takes dynamite to get me up Too much of everything is just enough One more thing I just got to say I need a miracle every day
I need a miracle every day I need a miracle every day (got to be the only way) I need a miracle I need a miracle.......
Elle n'a pas eu de chance, quand on y pense
dans l'existence Sa vie fut pathétique, problématique, pathologique
Cela devait commencer Lors de son baptême Car sa tante d'Angoulême S'appelait Zoé! On la nomma donc Justine Pauvre gamine On avait dans cette maison L'esprit de contradiction!
Son père était ivrogne, sa mère indigne, son frère au bagne Elle était opprimée, abandonnée, désespérée
Mais cette famille perverse Lui parut être divine Quand elle en fut orpheline Par un sort adverse! Elle avait juste quinze ans Plus de maman Elle dut se mettre au labeur Ce fut son premier malheur!
Mais le travail est triste l'effort funeste, la sueur néfaste Lasse de se morfondre et de se restreindre elle voulut se vendre!
Elle se mit à courir les rues Des quartiers spécialisés Avec des robes osées Et des clins d'il corrompus Pour attirer les caves Elle devint lascive Elle leur prit toute leur monnaie Et elle manquait de moralité!
Mais c'était couru d'avance elle n'eut pas de chance dans cette expérience Car allant de mal en pire un jour à Saint-Lazare elle se trouva mère!
Elle connut alors des temps D'inquiétude et de misère Car les enfants se suivirent Extramatrimonialement! C'est alors qu'elle comprit Que bien mal acquis Ne profite jamais Elle l'avait bien mérité!
Seule avec ses enfants de pères indifférents elle n'avait plus d'argent Pour les rutabagas la soupe au tapioca et les petits extras
Elle voulut donc en finir Avec cette vie précaire Et dans un vieux monastère S'en alla pour y périr! Elle avait au préalable Geste abominable Dans une station de métro Abandonné ses marmots!
Ceux-ci, comme on le pense n'eurent pas de chance dans l'existence Ils furent opprimés excommuniés, homicidés!
Traumas Composer(s): Erasmo Carlos - Roberto Carlos Performer(s): Roberto Carlos
Meu pai um dia me falou pra que eu nunca mentisse Mas ele também se esqueceu de me dizer a verdade Da realidade do mundo que eu ia saber Dos traumas que a gente só sente depois de crescer
Falou dos anjos que eu conheci No delírio da febre que ardia Do meu pequeno corpo que sofria Sem nada entender
Minha mulher em certa noite Ao ver meu sono estremecido Falou que os pesadelos são Algum problema adormecido
Durante o dia a gente tenta Com sorrisos disfarçar Alguma coisa que na alma Conseguimos sufocar
Meu pai tentou encher de fantasia E enfeitar as coisas que eu via Mas aqueles anjos agora já se foram Depois que eu cresci
Da minha infância agora tão distante Aqueles anjos no tempo eu perdi Meu pai sentia o que eu sinto agora Depois que cresci
Agora eu sei o que meu pai queria me esconder Às vezes as mentiras também ajudam a viver Talvez um dia pro meu filho eu também tenha que mentir Pra enfeitar os caminhos que ele um dia vai seguir
