Io Senza Te Composer(s): N. Martinetti - P. Reber First performance by: Peter, Sue & Marc - 1981
Dopo la tempesta camminiamo un po' Sulla sabbia pesta chiacchieriamo un po' Ho sbagliato io, hai sbagliato tu Quel che è stato è stato, non parliamone più
Io senza te, cosa farei Io non respiro se tu non ci sei Io senza te, oh ... cosa sarei Una farfalla che non vola più
Prenderti nel vento come un anno fa Stesso sentimento, stessa intensità E trovar parole che non dissi mai Mentre il sole muore sul mio cuore stai
Io senza te, cosa farei Della mia vita e dei giorni miei Io senza te, oh ... come farei Amore mio t'inventerei
Io senza te, cosa farei, oh ... Io senza te, oh ... come farei Amore mio t'inventerei

On a tous un banc, un arbre ou une rue Où l'on a bercé nos rêves On a tous un banc, un arbre ou une rue Une enfance trop brève
Un jour ou l'autre il faut partir Pour se construire un avenir, un avenir Et c'est l'inoubliable instant Où l'on rend ses habits d'enfant, d'enfant
Chacun s'envole rempli d'espoir Sur le chemin qu'il s'est choisi, qu'il s'est choisi Vers la richesse ou vers la gloire Pourtant quel que soit notre but, notre but
Un jour ou l'autre il faut partir Pour se construire un avenir, un avenir Et c'est l'inoubliable instant Où l'on rend ses habits d'enfant, d'enfant
Chacun dans son coin d'horizon Ne défend que ses ambitions, ses ambitions Même si nous ne partageons rien Que nous reste-t-il en commun, en commun?
Un jour ou l'autre il faut partir Pour se construire un avenir, un avenir Et c'est l'inoubliable instant Où l'on rend ses habits d'enfant, d'enfant

Look What We Made (When We Made Love) Composer(s): Dave Loggins - Russell Smith Performer(s): Jonathan Edwards
You always said you never needed anyone else but me Now someone's come along and changed your mind `bout all that love can be
Now I don't even mind the way he takes up all you time I even think it's kind of sweet that he reminds you of me And it bring a tear to my eye and a smile to my face 'Cause I never felt so much love as when you hold him and say ...
Oh baby look what we made when we made love All by ourselves with some help from above In the middle of the night we really did something right Oh look what we made when we made love.
From the first time we met I knew I'd always give my love to you And the look that you gave me in return made all my dreams come true This new dream that we share has your eyes and my hair So healthy and strong with a mind of his own
And I thank the Lord everyday for our brand new family And to think it all started with just you and me
Oh baby look what we made when we made love All by ourselves with some help from above In the middle of the night we really did something right Oh look what we made when we made love

But I am a simple man a poor common farmer So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair Yellow and brown, blue as the sky, red as my blood, green as your eye.
If I were a nobleman I'd bring you six palaces with six hundred servants for comforting care But I am a simple man a poor common farmer So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair
If I where a minstrel I'd sing you six love songs to tell the whole world of the love that we share so be not afraid, my love, You're never alone, love while you wear my ribbons tie'n back your hair
Once I was a simple man a poor common farmer I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair

Look To The Rainbow Composer(s): Burton Lane - E.Y. Harburg First performance: Ella Logan - 1947 Covered by multiple other artists
On the day I was born said my father, said he I've an elegant legacy waiting for ye Tis a rhyme for your lips and a song for your heart To sing whenever the world falls apart
Look, look, look to the rainbow Follow it over the hill and stream Look, look, look to the rainbow Follow the fellow who follows a dream Follow the fellow, follow the fellow Follow the fellow who follows a dream
'Twas a sumptuous gift bequeathed to a child Oh, the lure of that song Kept her feet running wild For you never grow old and you never stand still With a whippoorwill singing beyond the next hill
So, I bundled me heart and I roamed the world free To the east with the lark Tow the west with the sea And I searched all the world and I scanned all the skies But I found it at last in my own true love's eyes

Snowdrops and daffodils Butterflies and bees Sailboats and fishermen Things of the sea Wishing wells, wedding bells Early morning dew All kinds of everything Reminds me of you

Summer time, winter time Spring and autumn too Monday, tuesday, everyday I think of you
Dances, romances Things of the night Sunshine and holidays Postcards to write Parting trees, autumn leaves A snowflake or two All kinds of everything Reminds me of you
Summer time, winter time Spring and autumn too Seasons will never change The way that I love you
Dances, romances Things of the night Sunshine and holidays Postcards to write Parting trees, autumn leaves A snowflake or two All kinds of everything Reminds me of you
Look Through My Window Composer(s): John Phillips Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas
And the rain beats on my roof And it does not ask for proof
Its not that lovers are unkind She always said thered come a time When one would leave and one stay behind
We both knew people sometimes change And lovers sometimes rearrange And nothing's quite as sure as change
And the rain beats on the roof
Look through my window to the street below See the people hurrying by With someone to meet, some place to go And I know I should let go
She always said "Im not like you" "When love is dead for me its through" "And I will find and love somebody new"
Look through my window, yeah, to the street below See the people hurrying by With someone to meet, some place to go And I know I should let go
I must admit she knew her mind And it will not take her long to find Another place where the sun will shine
And the rain beats on my roof If I still require proof Well the rain beats on my roof (She's gone) If I still require proof (Shes gone) Well the rain beats on my roof (Look through my window) If I still require proof (All the people) Well the rain beats on my roof (I love her) If I still require proof (She's gone)
Six O'clock Composer(s): John Sebastian First release by: The Lovin' Spoonful - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
There's something special 'bout six o'clock In the morning when it's still too early to knock
And the dusky light shines down on the block And reflects up and down on the hands of the clock
Six o'clock, six o'clock
A few hours ago she was standing here Just watching the stars in our eyes and the lights as the tights disappeared And I could feel I could say what I want That I could nudge her and call her my confidante But now I'm all alone with just my shadow in front At six o'clock, six o'clock
I went home and found that time to sleep was rare Just watching my eyelids, knowing my brain bids the night not to care I got up and got scufflin' around But somehow it just wasn't the same happy town And the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound At six o'clock, six o'clock
If I go back where we parted Could I ever feel like that again Guess I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrow But what can I do 'til then
Guess I'll go back home and just wait until dawn Yes, I had to learn going back where we were wouldn't help at all And I wish my head had been working right We'd have gone for coffee and talked all night And now I'm back alone, bein' twisted up tight Six o'clock, six o'clock
Now I'm back alone Yes, now I'm back alone I'm back alone
