Je n'étais qu'un petit garçon J'étais tout seul à la maison Mes parents, pour un soir Étaient allés voir un opéra J'en avais pour un bon moment Ça n'arrivait pas si souvent C'était comme une trêve C'était comme un rêve, comme l'opéra J'étais dans un château fort J'avais une épée en or Je me battais comme un fou par amour pour vous Je me battais comme un roi par amour pour toi
Je n'étais qu'un petit garçon Mes paroles étaient des chansons Il n'y avait ni tambour Ni baryton pour mon opéra Mais dans mon imagination Il y avait dix mille violons Qui jouaient ma victoire Faisaient de ma gloire un opéra J'étais dans un château fort J'avais une épée en or Je me battais comme un fou, rendant coup sur coup Je me prenais pour un roi par amour pour toi
Et devant l'enfant que j'étais Toute la maison devenait Une scène, un décor Et c'était alors mon opéra Je m'endormais sur les trois coups Qui n'étaient peut-être, après tout Qu'un volet qui battait Quand ils revenaient de l'opéra Mais j'étais dans mon château fort Et j'avais mon épée en or Je me battais comme un fou par amour pour vous Je me battais comme un roi par amour pour toi
Je n'étais qu'un petit garçon J'étais tout seul à la maison Mes parents, pour un soir Étaient allés voir un opéra
Looking For Yesterday Composer(s): Eddie DeLange - Jimmy Van Heusen Performer(s): Woody Herman and multiple other artists
Looking for yesterday Most any day I spent with you One yesterday when I still had a laugh or two One dance to our fav'rite tune Then to our fav'rite lane Who cares if there is no moon Or we're drenched with rain
Looking for yesterday Before you wrapped the sun in clouds One yesterday before I hid away in crowds My heart lives in misery Always a stone in its shoe Looking for yesterday and you
Dentro Di Me First performance by: Barbara Berta - 1997
Uomo, guardati dentro, cosa ti scuote E ti fa sentire un po' perso In questo enorme universo Fatto di tante
Troppe parole dette per dire Mai per capire, cosa ti spinge lontano Da quel che è portata di mano Ma irraggiungibile
Dentro di me faccio spazio perché Dentro di me, ho bisogno di te Dentro di me, dentro di me Tengo un posto per te Che hai bisogno di me Hai bisogno di me
Uomo, apri la mente Non esitare a scoprirti nel bene e nel male Anche gli errori hanno il loro valore Aiutano a crescere
Dentro di me faccio spazio perché (perché) Dentro di me ho bisogno di te Dentro di me, dentro di me Tengo un posto per te Che hai bisogno di me
Dentro di me prendo fiato perché Dentro di me ho corso fino da te Dentro di me, dentro di me Io ti voglio per sé Sei diverso da me Sei diverso da me
Uomo, quanti misfatti Quali ragioni, ci spingono tanto lontano Quando a portata di mano Hai l'incredibile
Loose Talk Composer(s): Freddie Heart - Ann Lucas First release by: Freddie Heart - 1954 Covered by multiple other artists
So long we've been married Life's burdens we carried Though faith kept us humble and made our love true But plans that we make up Someone seems to break up Oh, darlin', what else can we do?
We may have to leave here To find peace of mind, dear Someplace where we can live a life of our own I know you love me And happy we could be If some folks would leave us alone
When I go out walkin' There's lots of loose talkin' They say we're unhappy, and we'll drift apart But darlin' it's not true Because I still love you And I do with all of my heart
They say you are leavin' That you are deceivin' But you tell me they say the same about me Oh, but we'll show them they're wrong That loose talk can do harm And hope that the truth they will see
We may have to leave here To find peace of mind, dear Someplace where we can live a life of our own I know you love me And happy we could be If some folks would leave us alone If some folks would leave us alone
Looking For The Time (Workin' Girl) Composer(s): Nanci Griffith Performer(s): Nanci Griffith
Well, I work this corner from eleven to five the hands get cold around midnight You're askin' me if I've got the time Well I don't know, but you're wastin' mine tonight
Whoa ... you say you're looking for the time Well, I'm a workin' girl, you just wasted mine If you ain't got money take it down the avenue 'cuz I ain't got time for you until daylight
This sidewalk ice is cold as steel I'm not Dorothy, I can't click my heels One of these days I'll move to L.A. Where the nights stay warm and the boys come out to play
Whoa ... you say you're looking for the time Well, I'm a workin' girl, you just wasted mine If you ain't got money take it down the avenue 'cuz I ain't got time for you until daylight
Don't the snow light up the midnight sky The snow plows roll and the limos fly Don't you know It's just another night
Oh, once I had a lover who treated me right He lived so wrong he's doin' ninety-nine Oh, I wish you had the money and I had the time 'Cuz I'd just let those limos slide on by
Soul Deep Composer(s): Wayne Carson First release by: Clarence Carter - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Darlin' I don't know much I know I love you so much A lot depends on your touch My love is a river running soul deep A way down inside me it's a soul deep Too big to hide, can't be denied Love is a river running soul deep
I worked myself to euphoria Just to show I adore ya There's nothing I wouldn't do for ya Cause my love is a river running soul deep A way down inside me it's a soul deep Too big to hide, can't be denied Love is a river running soul deep
All I ever, ever hoped to be Depends on your love for me If you believe me, if you should leave me I'd be nothing but a jilted male I know darned well, I could tell, but
I don't know much I know I love you so much A lot depends on your touch My love is a river running soul deep A way down inside me it's a soul deep Too big to hide, can't be denied Love is a river running soul deep My love is a river running soul deep A way down inside me it's a soul deep My love is a river running soul deep A way down inside me it's a soul deep My love is a river running soul deep A way down inside me it's a soul deep...

Looking For The Right One Composer(s): Stephen Bishop Performer(s): Stephen Bishop
I've been so unlucky, I'm no good at playing games I remember their faces; forget their names Thought I'd found the right one, but she hasn't found me So I bundle up my emotions and start Looking For The Right One But will the right one ever come along? Oh, I'm Looking For The Right One When will the right one come along? They say there's no use runnin' after something you'll never get But my heart says, "Don't say no" Somewhere in this lonesome city is the woman for me But would I wait another lifetime just to keep on Looking For The Right One But will the right one ever come along? Oh, I'm Looking For The Right One When will the right one come along? They say love always comes and goes Well, that I already know Yes, I really know Looking For The Right One But will the right one ever come along? Looking For The Right One But will the right one come along?
Niemand Heeft Nog Tijd First performance by: Mrs. Einstein - 1997
Waar moet je heen met al je vragen Als er niemand luisteren wil Wat doe je met je lege dagen Het liefst zet je de tijd heel even stil
Voordat je iemand hebt gevonden Die tien minuten voor je heeft Nou dat kan wel even duren Je hoopt dat jij dan nog wel leeft
Want niemand heeft nog tijd Alleen nog tijd om zich te haasten Nee, niemand heeft nog tijd Alleen nog maar om aan zichzelf te denken Nee, nee, niemand heeft nog tijd Niemand heeft nog tijd
Je snapt niets meer van de wereld De tijd is duur want tijd is geld Stilstaan is uit den boze Dus tempo dat is wat er telt
De mensen blijven nog wel geven Staan nooit stil bij hun gevoel Snel kunnen zij per computer Nog iets storten voor het goede doel
Want niemand heeft nog tijd Alleen nog tijd om zich te haasten Nee, niemand heeft nog tijd Alleen nog maar om aan zichzelf te denken Nee, nee, niemand heeft nog tijd Niemand heeft nog tijd
Niemand heeft nog tijd, niemand heeft nog tijd Niemand heeft nog tijd, niemand nee nee Gaan wij ooit beseffen Er is veel meer dan de factor tijd Sta even stil, laat je verleiden Tot wat meer gevoeligheid...
Call Her Your Sweetheart Composer(s): Leon Payne Performer(s): Eddy Arnold; Frank Ifield; Alma Cogan
Call her your sweetheart whenever she feels blue You know there's not a thing she wouldn't do for you And when you are tempted to wander astray Remember there are times she feels the very same way
Share all your sunshine and all your heartaches too Let her know that she means more than all the world to you You'll find the future holds a treasure worth much more than gold If you'll only call her your sweetheart
Share all your sunshine and all your heartaches too Let her know that she means more than all the world to you You'll find the future holds a treasure worth much more than gold If you'll only call her your sweetheart

Fiumi Di Parole Composer(s): C. DiDomenico - A. Drusian - F. Ricci First performance by: Jalisse - 1997
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Mi aspetto mille scuse come sempre da te sei un fiume di parole dove anneghi anche me che bravo che sei ma questo linguaggio da talk show cosa c'entra con noi Provo l'unico rimedio che adotto da un po' la mia testa chiude l'audio la storia la so Sei fatto così dovrei limitarmi oramai a dirti di sì Fiumi di parole fiumi di parole tra noi prima o poi ci portano via ti darò il mio cuore ti darò il mio cuore se vuoi se puoi ora parla con lui ora parla con lui
Tu che gridi in un dialetto che non è il mio io che perdo il tuo rispetto sarebbe meglio un addio è come in un film il classico film dove lei farà la pazzia Fiumi di parole fiumi di parole tra noi prima o poi ci portano via ti darò il mio cuore ti darò il mio cuore se vuoi se puoi ora parla con lui Vorrei fermare un'immagine sentirla entrare dentro di me un tuo silenzio più complice vorrei
prima o poi ci portano via ti darò il mio cuore ti darò il mio cuore se vuoi se puoi ora parla con lui
Fiumi di parole fiumi di parole tra noi prima o poi ci portano via ti darò il mio cuore ti darò il mio cuore se vuoi se puoi ora parla con lui ora parla con lui ah ah ah ah
Fiumi di parole fiumi di parole tra noi prima o poi ci portano via
Looks Like We Made It Composer(s): Richard Kerr - Will Jennings Performer(s): Barry Manilow and multiple other artists
There you are Lookin' just the same as you did Last time I touched you And, here I am Close to gettin' tangled up Inside the thought of you Do you love him as much as I love her And will that love be strong When old feelings start to stir Looks like we made it Left each other on the way To another love Looks like we made it Or I thought so, till today Until you were there everywhere And all I could taste was love the way we made it Love's so strange Playin' hide and seek, with hearts And always hurtin' And we're the fools Standin' close enough to touch Those burnin' memories And if I hold you For the sake of all those times love made us lose our minds Could I ever let you go Oh, no ... we made it Left each other, on the way To another love Looks like we made it Or I thought so, till today Until you were there everywhere And all I could taste was love the way we made it
Looking For Eden Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Ian Anderson
As I drove down the road to look for Eden saw two young girls but left them standing there They were too late to get home on the underground and probably too drunk, too drunk to care
Can anyone tell me the way to Eden? I'll ask them there, have they a job for me I'm not a fussy man, I can weed and hoe I'll be her Adam, she can be my Eve
And where on earth are all those songs of Eden The fairy tales, the shepherds and wise men Just one old dosser lurching down Oxford Street to spend his Christmas lying in the rain
Don't anybody know the way to Eden I'm tired of living my life in free-fall They say it's somewhere out on the edge of town Perhaps it isn't really there at all
Ah OwoooOwooo yea Soul heaven, Soul Heaven Had a dream last night Soul heaven, Soul Heaven
Last night I dreamed I was in a concert So many people you had to stand in line One night only in Soul Heaven I didn't want to wake up I was having such a good time
All of the Bar-keys were tuning up on stage Jimi had his guitar getting ready to play Sam was singing A Change Gonna Come Otis was there Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay
There was a party in Soul Heaven Superstars from the past Standing room only so you better hurry Buy your ticket, cause there going fast
Twenty Miles took a mean soul Junior Walker had them dancing in the aisles (Shoot`em Before They Run Now) They stood up when Jackie sang Lonely Teardrops When Sammy danced the crowd went wild (Mr. Bojangles)
I thought I saw Ella standing with Mahalia Backstage was Elvis with his Blue Suede Shoes It started raining everybody just stayed there To hear Z.Z. sing about home blues
Well now, there's a party Soul Heaven In Soul Heaven Soul Heaven Superstars from the past Soul Heaven Standing room only Soul Heaven so you better hurry Soul Heaven Buy your ticket, Soul Heaven Cause there going fast
There's a party in Soul Heaven Superstars from the past
The Great Alan Jackson was a holding down the beat When Marvin sang Let's Get It On They jumped to their feet Everybody start screaming they were standing on patience When the curtain come up the mighty Temptations King Curtis Blue Soul Serenade Thought I saw Lady Day sitting in the shade I Got Two Lovers And I Ain't Ashamed Lord I love the way sweet Mary sang
It was getting kinda late, it was time to go Two o'clock in bed they closed the show I didn't want to wake up I was havin' such a good time Ahhhh I didn't want to wake up I was havin' a good time
Pearl Baily Soul Heaven She was there Soul Heaven Duke and Count Soul Heaven They were there Soul Heaven Donny Hathaway Soul Heaven I saw him there Soul Heaven And Satchmo Soul Heaven I saw him there Soul Heaven It was a party Soul Heaven In Soul Heaven Soul Heaven Oh, you should've been there Soul Heaven I know you should've been there Soul Heaven Yeah Everybody was havin' such a good time Soul Heaven OwooOwoo yeah

Looks like a cold, cold winter Plenty of ice & snow But we'll keep the love light in our hearts aglow
