I'm Gonna Sleep With One Eye Open (French Version: Et Baîller Et Dormir)
Composer(s): Mitchell Parish; Jeff Davis; Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open So I can see you in my dreams Gonna hold you, kiss you, love you While Mr. Moonlight softly beams
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open So I can see more of your charms 'Cause tonight I've made my mind up You're gonna wind up in my arms
You know, since I first met you How I've tried to get you Still I always let you sleep away From day to day
But tonight I'm gonna love you This is my lucky night it seems I'm gonna sleep with one eye open So I can see you in my dreams
Et rêver, et sourire Et baîller, et dormir
You know, since I first met you How I've tried to get you Still I always let you sleep away From day to day
But tonight, tonight I'm gonna love you This is my lucky night, it seems I'm gonna sleep, sleep with one night open So I can see you in my dreams
Je fais mon paradis sur la terre Car la paix règne au fond de mon coeur Et vraiment si c'était à refaire Je saurais pour garder mon bonheur
Every Time I Look At You Composer(s): Bob Ezrin; Paul Stanley Performer(s): Kiss
Tryin' to say I'm sorry, didn't mean to break your heart And find you waitin' up by the light of day There's a lot I want to tell you, but I don't know where to start And I don't know what I'd do if you walked away Ooh, baby I tried to make it, I just got lost along the way But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin' thru, it's easy to see And every time I hold you, the things I never told you seem to come easily 'Cause you're everything to me I never really wanted to let you get inside my heart I wanted to believe this would soon be ending I thought it wouldn't matter, if it all just came apart But now I realize I was just pretending Ooh, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin' thru it's easy to see And every time I hold you, the things I never told you seem to come easily 'Cause you're everything to me It's gonna take a little time to show you just what you mean to me, oh yeah It seems the more I get to know you, the more I need to make you see You're everything I need, yeah Oho, I need ya, I need ya, I need ya... Ooh, baby, baby, baby, I know I hurt you but you can still believe in me But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin' thru it's easy to see And every time I hold you, the things I never told you seem to come easily 'Cause you're everything to me You're everything to me, you're everything to me

5.06 Am (Every Stranger's Eyes) Composer(s): Roger Waters Performer(s): Roger Waters
[Waitress:] You wanna cup of coffee? [Customers:] Heh, Turn that fucking juke box down You want to turn down that juke box....loud in here [Waitress:] I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee? Ok, you take cream and sugar? Sure In truck stops and hamburger joints In Cadillac limousines In the company of has-beens And bent-backs And sleeping forms on pavement steps In libraries and railway stations In books and banks In the pages of history In suicidal cavalry attacks I recognise... Myself in every stranger's eyes And in wheelchairs by monuments Under tube trains and commuter accidents In council care and county courts At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts In drawing rooms and city morgues In award winning photographs Of life rafts on the China seas In transit camps, under arc lamps On unloading ramps In faces blurred by rubber stamps I recognise... Myself in every stranger's eyes And now, from where I stand Upon this hill I plundered from the pool I look around I search the skies I shade my eyes So nearly blind And I see signs of half remembered days I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways I recognise... The hope you kindle in your eyes It's oh so easy now As we lie here in the dark Nothing interferes, it's obvious How to beat the tears That threaten to snuff out The spark of our love

I'm gonna tell your Mama Tell your Papa too So they'll know exactly what I'm gonna do If you ever say goodbye If you ever even try I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you
Wah-hoo!
I'm gonna tell your Mama Tell your Papa too So they'll know exactly what I'm gonna do If you ever say goodbye If you ever even try I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you
Every Song Is You Composer(s): Steve Dudas; Grakal; Mark Hudson Performer(s): Timothy B. Schmit
Everybody's got a broken heart Played the fool and done their part But fools rush in, baby, so why did we?
Another day, a long lonely night Instead of loving we'd always fight There's a hundred reasons why to set me free
Ever since the day I left you I've had this feeling of emptiness And it won't go away
So I go on down the road One more little town that I don't know I'm running late and I'm running low On cold coffee and the radio That plays me like you do Every song is you
Separation is a funny thing You want to fly but it breaks your wings It left me on the outside looking in
I do believe we're worth fighting for 'Cuz all is fair in love and war I promise not to hurt you like I hurt me
I swear to God I'll make things right I'm heading out, gonna drive all night Now I'm coming home
So I go on down the road One more little town that I don't know I'm running late and I'm running low On cold coffee and the radio That plays me like you do Every song is you
I am falling through the cracks That time slipped on and broke its back Everyone begins to laugh, but I'm laughing with them too 'Cuz they play me like you do
Ever since the day I left you I've had this feeling of emptiness Now I just wanna get home So I go on down the road One more little town that I don't know I'm running late and I'm running low On cold coffee and the radio That plays me like you do Every song is you

Every Road Leads Me Back To You Composer(s): George Mac Farlane; William Dunham; T. Leonard Coleman
There's a road that leads to happiness there's a road that leads to pain I've traveled each and every one, alone and back again thru every dell and every dale
and by way that we knew in rain or shine
the endless time, all lead me back to you
There's the road that leads to after years, there's the road that leads to home the one that runs thru loneliness, which many of us roam but hand in hand together, dear in stormy day or fair to the golden sunset of our lives, on the road that leads us there
Every road seems to lead the way to the island of yesterday and down lovers lane we wandered again while the birds sing their same sweet lay and again it is you I woo Every flower remembers you too At the crossroads of time I'll still wish you were mine every road leas me back to you
I'm Gonna Make You My Wife Composer(s): William Bell; Wayne Bell Performer(s): The Whispers
I'm gonna make you my wife 'Cause you're my everything All my hopes and dreams come true I can live my life with you
I'm gonna buy you some rings And everywhere you go Everyone will know that it's real What you make me feel
Until there is no more of me I will try to make you see That I will be My all and all From here to eternity Be my world eternally We'll have a child And watch it grow
Cross my heart and hope to die If i ever make you cry May I feel the pain that you feel inside Take the blame if our love should die
I'm gonna make you my world You be my morning light The star at night Or the air I breathe
Cross my heart and hope to die If I ever make you cry May I feel the pain That you feel inside And may I take the pain If our love should die
I'm gonna make you my song You'll be my symphony My rhapsody my line You'll be my melody My harmony my child
You'll be the air I breathe The birds and bees My wife

Every man has a woman who loves him if he finds her in this lifetime He will know
