Lookin' For Love Composer(s): Wanda Mallette - Bob Morrison - Pat Ryan First release by: Johnny Lee - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, I spent a lifetime lookin' for you Single bars and good time lovers were never true Playin' a fools game, hopin' to win Tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again
I was lookin' for love In all the wrong places Lookin' for love in too many faces Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces Of what I'm dreamin' of Hopin' to find a friend and a lover I'll bless the day I discover Another heart lookin' for love
I was alone then, no love in sight An' I did everything I could to get me through the night Don''t know where it started or where it might end I'd turn to a stranger just like a friend
I was lookin' for love In all the wrong places Lookin' for love in too many faces Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces Of what I'm dreamin' of Hopin' to find a friend and a lover I'll bless the day I discover Another heart lookin' for love
You came a knockin' at my heart's door You're everything I've been lookin' for
No more lookin' for love In all the wrong places Lookin' for love in too many faces Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces Of what I'm dreamin' of Now that I found a friend and a lover God bless the day I discovered you
Oh you, lookin' for love In all the wrong places (Lookin' for love) in too many faces Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces Of what I'm dreamin' of Now that I've found a friend and a lover God bless the day I discovered you Oh you, lookin' for love In all the wrong places ...
Soul On Fire Composer(s): Lavern Baker Performer(s): Lavern Baker
Well I could play with Tom, Dick, and Harry but for me you're the only one Who makes me me shiver, makes me tingle, and who brings my loving down
I played the love game before I met him It's a game I've always won but now you set my soul on fire and I really had my fun
With other boyfriends, the good-time men friends I still had to walk this road all by myself I was their play girl, a careless gay girl but I put them all on the shelf
I found my true love with you forever and my life has just begun cause now you set my soul on fire and I really had my fun
Good bye to play boys those hey hey hey boys good bye to everyone but you my love no more heart aches no more heart breaks I swear by all the stars above, well on my soul, my love, my heart I'll miss you darling from now on Cause now you set my soul on fire and I really had my fun
Soeur Anne Composer(s): Michel Emer Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Sur Anne, ne vois-tu rien venir?
Je vois des soldats couverts d'armes Tout prêts à mourir et à tuer Partout, je ne vois que des larmes Le monde semble s'y habituer Je vois, plus violente que la peste La haine couvrir l'horizon Les hommes se déchirent, se détestent Frontières, mitrailleuses, prisons L'amour, qui n'a plus rien à faire Viens de nous quitter à son tour Sur terre, il était solitaire L'amour a besoin de l'amour
Sur Anne, ne vois-tu rien venir?
Je vois des enfants sans leur mère Je vois des parents sans enfants Et des paysans sans leurs terres Je vois des terres sans paysans Je vois des grandes maisons vides Et de grands vides dans les maisons Des gens au visage livide Qui marchent sans chanter de chansons Des hommes qui essaient de sourire Des femmes au regard si peureux Des vieux qui ne savent plus rire Des jeunes qui sont déjà vieux
Sur Anne, ne vois-tu rien venir?
Je vois une grande lumière Qui semble venir de très loin Je vois un enfant et sa mère Mon Dieu, qu'ils sont loin, qu'ils sont loin... Voici qu'ils s'approchent de la terre L'enfant a grandi, je le vois Il vient partager nos misères Déjà, il apporte sa croix Bientôt, sa divine colère Chassera le démon pour toujours Bientôt reviendra sur la terre La vie, la pitié et l'amour

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

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

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

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

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)
