It Takes A Little Rain With The Sunshine To Make The World Go Round
It Takes A Little Rain With The Sunshine To Make The World Go Round Composer(s): Ballard MacDonald; Harry Carroll
A dear little girl and a dear little boy looked out at the drizzling rain and tears filled her eyes and ran down her cheeks, like the drops on the window pane so he said: "Don't you cry, you will see bye and bye that a rainbow bright will shine on high there are always rain clouds in the sky, and I'll tell you sweetheart why"
The dear little girl and the dear little boy grew up as most children do and one summer day they went wandering away, on the road that makes one of two she was sweet he was good, and they loved as they should till a dark cloud came, do what they could but she said she'd make up if he would, for she always understood
'Cause it takes a little rain with the sunshine like the tear drops come with the smiles but the troubles never come all at one time just wait a little while, remember, flowers couldn't grow without rain, dear happiness we share with the pain, dear 'cause it takes a little rain with the sunshine to make the world go around

It Started With A Kiss (Danish Version: Started' Med Et Kys - 1984) Composer(s): Errol Brown First release by: Hot Chocolate - 1982
It started with a kiss in the back row of a classroom How could I resist the aroma of your perfume You and I were inseparable, it was love at first sight You made me promise to marry you, I made you promise to be my wife But then you were only eight years old and I had just about turned nine I thought that life was always good, I thought you always would be mine
It started with a kiss, never thought it would come to this It started with a kiss, never thought it would come to this
I remember ev'ry little thing like fighting in the playground As some good looking boy had started to hang around That boy hurt me so bad, but I was happy 'cause you cried - still I couldn't help but notice that new distant look in your eyes And then when you were sixteen and I had just turned seventeen I couldn't hold on to your love, I couldn't hold on to my dreams
It started with a kiss, never thought is would come to this It started with a kiss, never thought it would come to this You don't remember me, do you? You don't remember me, do you?
Walking down the street came the star of my love story And my heart began to beat so fast, so clear was my memory I heard my voice cry out her name and as she looked and looked away I felt so hurt, I felt so small, and it was all that I could say You don't remember me, do you? You don't remember me, do you? You don't remember me, do you? You don't remember me, do you?
It started with a kiss, never thought it would come to this It started with a kiss, never thought it would come to this
It Sparkles! Composer(s): Stephen Duffy Performer(s): Stephen Duffy
And she sparkles her surprise The marvels of the milky way Are but a candle to her I kissed but she did not kiss back Temptations of the saints And though the leaves are falling fast She still thinks she ain't And she's going to blow my mind This time So we set out for the sun A generation on the run The ones who hid by moving trains Pretending destinations Now fighting everyone she knows And some imaginary foes My campus bride for whom truth slips Beyond her finger tips And she's going to blow my mind This time I've been sitting on the corner of my street waiting for her waiting for her And I don't know if she sparkles when she speaks If I could love her any more I won't deny that we had fun More than I can say for some With just so many years to live In which nothing gives Two courting birds wheeled away Against the opalescent grey My campus bride and I just sit Certain this is it And she's going to blow my mind This time And she's going to blow her mind If she can find the time And she's going to blow my mind This time
O Vinho Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Fausto Nilo Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Quando você chegar Veja o tempo passando Pelas Flores do Mal Só o tempo não vê Que eu estou esquecido Esperando você
A noite já passou E eu detesto revelar que andei sofrendo Mas há um resto de saudade em seu olhar E uma promessa de prazeres ciumentos Meu amor
Não devemos tentar Enganar o amor Nem duvidar do vinho Uma frase vulgar Pode surpreender Num imenso carinho
Pra que dizer que não Verdades são banais e mesmo assim Por caprichos vãos Mentiras levarão você de mim
Perdidos na escuridão Seus olhos na minha saudade Seu vestido está em minha mãos Sua voz por toda a cidade Nessas canções que eu faço Permanece o meu destino De adormecer em seus braços E sonhar como um menino
Quero só pensar em ti Em seu colo adormecer E acordar com mais vontade de viver
It Should Have Been Me Composer(s): William "Mickey" Stevenson; Norman Whitfield Performer(s): Gladys Knight & The Pips
I saw my love walking down the aisle And as he passed me by He turned and gave me a smile Then, the preacher, then the preacher The preacher joined their hands And all the people, all the people began to stand When I shouted, "you know it should have been me" (Instead of her walking with you)
You are leaving me stranded You know that it should have been me baby Oh baby gettin' ready to marry you Darlin' darlin' darlin' You made a promise that we would never part Then you turned around and broke my little heart Now you're standing there saying I do Holding hands with somebody new You know that it should have been me (I can't stand it) Instead of her standing by you You know that it should have been me It should have been me (Baby don't do it) Then the preacher oh yeah the preacher asked That there be silence please
If anybody objects to this wedding Speak now or forever or forever hold your peace Thin I shouted, "It should have been me" You know that it should have been me Don't you know that it should have been me You know that it should have been me I've been faithful to you baby, baby, baby You were leaving me stranded
It Seems Like Ages And Ages And You've Only Been Gone A Day
It Seems Like Ages And Ages And You've Only Been Gone A Day Composer(s): Kendis; Brockman
Your voice I hear, you seem so near Still you are far, far away Time drags along Everything's wrong As broken hearted I stray
You'll always rest, close to my breast Echoed of love seem to sigh Time can't erase Your smiling face I keep on wondering why
It seems like ages and ages And you've only been gone a day The night shadows fall With tears I recall True love in a shack, how I wish you were back The long and weary hours Just wear my heart away It seems like ages and ages And you've only been gone a day
O velho sem conselhos De joelhos De partida Carrega com certeza Todo o peso Da sua vida Então eu lhe pergunto pelo amor A vida iteira, diz que se guardou Do carnaval, da brincadeira Que ele não brincou Me diga agora O que é que eu digo ao povo O que é que tem de novo Pra deixar Nada Só a caminhada Longa, pra nenhum lugar
O velho de partida Deixa a vida Sem saudades Sem dívida, sem saldo Sem rival Ou amizade Então eu lhe pergunto pelo amor Ele me diz que sempre se escondeu Não se comprometeu Nem nunca se entregou E diga agora O que é que eu digo ao povo O que é que tem de novo Pra deixar Nada E eu vejo a triste estrada Onde um dia eu vou parar
O velho vai-se agora Vai-se embora Sem bagagem Não sabe pra que veio Foi passeio Foi passagem Então eu lhe pergunto pelo amor Ele me é franco Mostra um verso manco De um caderno em branco Que já fechou Me diga agora O que é que eu digo ao povo O que é que tem de novo Pra deixar Não Foi tudo escrito em vão E eu lhe peço perdão Mas não vou lastimar
It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time Composer(s): Mike Batt Performer(s): Mike Batt
Don't ask me why I did it It seemed like a good idea at the time There were no other amusements or games to play To pass the night away Don't ask me why I did it I must have been lonely stupid or blind But I know that it seemed like a good idea at the time
It was 3 a.m. in the casino I was feeling like the Sportsman of the Year So I blew a little money on the roulette wheel And I taught myself to play Chemin de fer
Don't ask me why I did it It seemed like a good idea at the time There were no other amusements or games to play To pass the night away Don't ask me why I did it I must have been lonely stupid or blind But I know that it seemed like a good idea at the time
As the dawn came round on Monte Carlo I had lost the car and safe deposit key The country house in Switzerland was mine no more And the gendarme at the door said "c'est la vie!"
Don't ask me why I did it I must have been lonely stupid or blind But I know that it seemed like a good idea at the time
Ô toi! la vie Que je porte en souffrant Comme on porte un enfant Donne-moi l'amour et l'argent Ma vie Aux voies impénétrables Fais que de grain de sable Je deviens géant
Ô toi! la vie Dont je ne connais rien Qui fuit entre mes mains J'appréhende tes lendemains Ma vie J'ai peur de ta jeunesse Un matin disparaisse Me laissant sur ma faim Tu sais la vie Je ne t'ai pas cherchée C'est toi qui t'es donnée Comme une fille en mal d'aimer Je peux depuis Me vautrer dans tes bras Faire un feu de tes joies Et l'amour avec toi
La vie Pour te serrer très fort Et réchauffer mon corps Et te garder longtemps encore Je suis Un enfant de la terre Un passant solitaire Aux mains tendues vers toi Ne m'abandonne pas Tu sais, je crois en toi En toi La vie

Didnt take a lifetime to make my dreams come true No it only took a minute baby to fall in love with you Yeah it only took a minute baby to fall in love with you

Não adianta mais Chorar o amor que já tivemos Existe em nosso olhar Alguma coisa que não vemos E nas palavras Existe sempre alguma coisa sem dizer E é bem melhor que seja assim Você sabe tanto quanto eu No nosso caso Felicidade começa num adeus Me abrace sem chorar Sem lenço branco na partida Eu também vou tentar Sorrir em nossa despedida Não fale agora Não há mais nada O nosso show já terminou
It Only Hurts When I Cry Composer(s): Dwight Yoakam; Roger Miller Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam; Joey Welz
The only time I feel the pain Is in the sunshine and the rain And I don't feel no hurt at all Unless you count when teardrops fall I tell the truth 'cept when I lie It only hurts me when I cry
You couldn't tell it by this smile But my recovery took a while I worked for days and nights on end Just to walk and talk again You can't believe the time it takes To heal a heart once it breaks
The only time I feel the pain Is in the sunshine and the rain And I don't feel no hurt at all Unless you count when teardrops fall I tell the truth 'cept when I lie It only hurts me when I cry
Oh maybe every now and then I have a small heartache again You wouldn't know to look at me There's tiny scars that you can't see It was a struggle to survive I'm probably lucky I'm alive
The only time I feel the pain Is in the sunshine and the rain And I don't feel no hurt at all Unless you count when teardrops fall I tell the truth 'cept when I lie It only hurts me when I cry
I'll tell the truth 'cept when I lie It only hurts me when I cry
Ô Seigneur Dieu Composer(s): S. Lama; Alice Dona Performer(s): Dalida
Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné Je suis comme un village envahi par les ronces Il suffirait d'un rien pour qu'à tout je renonce Ô Seigneur Dieu pour ça il faut me pardonner
Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné Mon cur saigne je suis l'agneau parmi les fauves Et pour mieux te trouver j'ai peint ma chambre en mauve Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné
Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné Mon âme s'est traînée plusieurs fois dans la fange Sans un signe du ciel sans le secours d'un ange Ô Seigneur Dieu, pour ça il faut me pardonner Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné J'ai faim, j'ai soif, j'ai froid, je n'ai plus de boussole Et c'est à peine si les hommes me consolent Ô Seigneur Dieu, pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné
Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné Un jour j'étais enfant j'étais dans ton église J'ai cherché dans mon cur une terre promise Ô Seigneur Dieu pour ça il faut me pardonner
Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné J'ai cru pendant longtemps à la bonté des hommes Pendant longtemps, j'ai eu La méfiance des pommes Ô Seigneur Dieu pour ça il faut me pardonner
Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné Pourquoi m'as-tu offert des guirlandes d'orties Pourquoi m'as-tu fermé les portes de sortie Ô Seigneur Dieu nous as-tu tous abandonné
Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné Je ne suis pas curé et j'ai besoin des autres Je ne suis pas ta fille mais j'ai besoin d'apôtre Ô Seigneur Dieu pour ça il faut me pardonner Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné Nous sommes une armée dont tous les chefs sont lâches Et tes évêques ne sont plus très bons à la tâche Ô Seigneur Dieu doit-on toujours leur pardonner
