Je Veux Donner Ma Voix First performance by: Nayah - 1999
S'il n'y a plus de frontières De nos vies à nos rêves Et plus qu'une bannière Un sourire à nos lèvres Si les murs sont tombés Qui séparaient nos âmes S'il suffit d'exister Pour faire brûler la flamme S'il suffit de chanter S'il suffit de chanter
Je veux donner ma voix Je veux donner mes mots Je veux donner ma foi Et ma vie en cadeau Je veux donner mon cur Tout l'amour à venir Inventer un bonheur Et ne jamais mourir
S'il n'y a plus de guerre Qu'on ne gagne d'avance S'il n'y a plus de frontières Plus de différences S'il n'y a plus de chaînes Qu'on ne puisse détruire S'il n'y a plus de haine Pour cacher un sourire S'il suffit de chanter S'il suffit de chanter
Happy happy birthday in a hot bath To those nice nice nights I remember always always I got such a fright
Seeing them in my dark cupboard with my great big cake If they were me if they were me And I was you and I was you If they were me and I was you Would you have liked a present too

This Time I Mean It Composer(s): Ebbe Ravn First performance by: Michael Teschl & Trine Jepsen - 1999
(This time I mean it, oh baby)
I don't know what it's all about, but I'm startin' to figure out Simple songs on the radio kinda colour the way I go
Every song holds an inner key to my dreams and my fantasy Defences down and suddenly all your love comes back to me
And this time I mean it, oh baby, this time I mean it and now You got me goin' so crazy even though I don't know how Tried it before but we never happened, we just gotta try it again Well, this time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again
Oh... I know what was said and done, it's been hard just to carry on The sweetest love left a bitter taste, who's to say it was all a waste?
Mmm... 'cause in each quarrel, in every fight, there's a lesson 'bout wrong and right Oh... looking back, I'm sure to say that we learned from yesterday
So this time I mean it, oh baby, this time I mean it and now You got me goin' so crazy even though I don't know how We tried it before but we never happened, we just gotta try it again Well, this time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again
This time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again
Southbound Composer(s): Ned Miller Performer(s): Hank Snow
Hear the clickety clack of the railroad track Means the wheels are rollin' and I'm goin' back To the girl I left in a rundown shack I'm southbound As the miles rush by I miss her more and more tears in my eyes and my heart is sore Soon I'll be a knockin' on her front door I'm southbound Southbound to my baby southbound I'm nearly crazy Gonna take her in my arms and never let her go Never gonna leave her never ever anymore Soon I'll be a knockin' on her front door I'm southbound
Now the rhythm of the wheels call a memory every mile it comes a little closer to me Soon it's gonna be reality I'm southbound My heart keeps sayin' boy you made a mistake Thought you was a rambler but you're only a fake This'll be the last trip I'm a gonna make I'm southbound Southbound to my baby...
Now the night that I left her well she pleaded with me I know that you're leavin' but it has to be I'm hopin' that she is a waitin' for me I'm southbound It's hard to wait till I can see her face I still remember how her sweet lips taste Not another day am I gonna waste I'm southbound (Southbound to my baby...)
Happy Anniversary Composer(s): Bill Eldridge; G. Stewart Performer(s): Roy Rogers
I've watched the gold in your hair turn silver And the sparkle in your eyes dim more each day And the clutch of your hands getting weaker All these things say it wasn't yesterday
So darlin', Happy Anniversary You've made my life for me Once again, thanks for the memory My darlin', Happy Anniversary
The paper we signed has turned yellow Its crumbling edges tend to tell its age Its meaning we will cherish forever But in the book of our lives, it's just a page
So darlin', Happy Anniversary You've made my life for me Once again, thanks for the memory My darlin', Happy Anniversary My darlin', Happy Anniversary
Living My Life Without You Composer(s): Stig André Van Eijk - SEM First performance by: Van Eijk - 1999
Living my life without you can it be true? Something is missing, baby
Ah yeah... (Oh baby, I know it's you)
Nothing feels the same without your loving I can't stop the rain or wind from blowing I search inside my soul, try to recover But life is not the same without my lover
(Since you went away) can't sleep (Since you went away) can't eat My world is falling apart, oh baby, baby
Living my life without you can it be true? Something is missing, baby Living my life without you what can I do? I think I'm going crazy, (It's you)
Tried a new romance, tried to run away But nothing really makes sense when you're gone, baby I never knew how much I needed you, girl What can I do to get you back in my world?
(Since you went away) can't sleep (Since you went away) can't eat My world is falling apart
Living my life without you can it be true? Something is missing, baby Living my life without you what can I do? I think I'm going crazy
It's you (Oh baby, I know it's you) I think I'm going crazy (Oh babe, what more can I do?) It's you
(Hey hey... I think I'm going crazy, baby) (Hey hey...) Living my life without you
(Living my life without you can it be true?) Something is missing, baby Baby... (Living my life without you what) can I do? I think I'm going crazy
(Living my life without you can it be true?) Something is missing, baby (Living my life without you what can I do?) (I think I'm going crazy) I think I'm going crazy It's you
Happy Anniversary Composer(s): Beeb Birtles; David Briggs Performer(s): Little River Band; and various other artists
Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind
I'm so happy for you baby Now that you've found somebody new I see it in your eyes, Lord it's no surprise What he can do for you
But when I look back baby When I look back to what we had And I know I'm countin' good times But there were just as many bad
And so I wish you Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind
There's a lesson here to learn when your baby ups and leaves you Carry on, don't feel concerned even though you're so much in love You need a little help from above, oh
Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind
Oh ain't no foolin' with you baby Only the words are hard to find You got me tremblin' at the knees Answer won't you please Before I lose my mind
This is our fifth year baby And I feel like I'm in jail, Lord I'm holding on to this card Can't seem to get it in the mail And the card reads ...
Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind Happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind
Ooh yeah, happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind Ah yeah happy anniversary baby Got you on my mind
Oh, have a happy anniversary 'Cause I've got you on my mind Always on my mind

Happy Anniversary Titles In Other Languages: Bon Anniversaire; Buon Anniversario; Qué Buen Aniversario Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Herbert Kretzmer Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Ive been ready for hours and Im wearing my best Ordered champagne and flowers and youre not even dressed Tonights a special night to remember with pride These twenty happy years since you became my bride It is all too absurd; youre so cross and abrupt But I dont say a word or youre bound to erupt Your peculiar moods Ive experienced before So Ill pour another drink and quietly pace the floor Its a quarter to eight as we fretfully wait For your little black dress; that was promised by six Is it just rotten luck when were doing the town That the fates should conspire to let us mortals down I have seats for a show and its opening night My shoes do not fit me and my suit is too tight And you sit there and curse, an occasional curse And Ive got a headache thats quickly getting worse Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary They deliver your frock but youre still in distress It was past nine o clock when I helped you to dress I tried to do you up but it wasnt my day For then to fill my cup your zipper stuck half way I got all in a sweat, over anxious and vexed Will I ever forget the thing that happened next Your dress came apart with one terrible tear Your disappointed cries were more than I could bear At eleven at last, when we got into town We arrived at the show but the curtain was down I suggested a bite. No, no you wanted to walk You had no appetite and no desire to talk So we strolled for an hour and the evening was sweet And I bought you a flower from a man in the street And we kissed on the sidewalk without reason or rhyme And we knew that our love is stronger than time Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary
This Nearly Was Mine Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers Performer(s): Barbara Cook and multiple other artists
Emily: One dream in my heart One love to be livin' for One love to be livin' for This nearly was mine
One girl for my dream One partner in paradise This promise of paradise This nearly was mine
Close to my heart she came Only to fly away Only to fly as day flies from moonlight Now, now I'm alone Still dreamin' of paradise Still sayin' that paradise Once nearly was mine
I'll keep rememberin' kisses From lips I've never owned And all that lovely adventures That we have never known
One dream in my heart One love to be livin' for One love to be livin' for This nearly was mine
Close to my heart she came Only to fly away Only to fly as day flies from moonlight
Now, now I'm alone Still a-dreamin' of paradise Still sayin' that paradise Once nearly was mine!

Nellie: My doll is as dainty as a sparrow Her figure is somethin' to applaud Where she's narrow she's as narrow an arrow And she's broad where a broad should be broad
A hundred and one pounds of fun That's my little honey bun! Get a load of honey bun tonight
I'm speakin' of my Sweetie Pie Only sixty inches high Ev'ry inch is packed with dynamite!
Her hair is blond and curly Her curls are hurly-burly Her lips are pips! I call her hips 'Twirly' and 'Whirly'
She's my baby, I'm her pap! I'm her booby, she's my trap! I am caught and I don't wanna run 'Cause I'm havin' so much fun with honey bun!
I am caught and I don't wanna run 'Cause I'm havin' so much fun with honey bun!

There Is Nothing Like A Dame Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers First performance by: Myron McCormick - 1949 and multiple other artists
We got sunlight on the sand We got moonlight on the sea We got mangos and bananas You can pick right off the tree We got volleyball and ping-pong And a lot of dandy games What ain't we got? We ain't got dames
We get packages from home We get movies we get shows We get speeches from our skipper And advice from Tokyo Rose We get letters doused with perfume We get dizzy from the smell What don't we get? You know darn well
We got nothing to put on a clean white suit for What we need is what there ain't no substitue for
There is nothing like a dame, nothing in the world There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame
We feel restless we feel blue We feel lonely and in grief We feel every kind of feeling But the feeling of relief We feel hungry as the wolf felt when he met red riding hood What don't we feel? we don't feel good
Lots of things in life are beautiful but brother There is one particular thing that is nothing whatsoever in any shape or form like any other
There is nothing like a dame, nothing in the world There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame
Nothing else is built the same Nothing in the world Has the soft and wavy frame Like the silhouette of a dame
There's absolutely nothing like the frame of a dame
So suppose a dame ain't bright Or completly free from flaws Or as faithful as a bird dog Or as kind as santa clause It's a waste of time to worry Over things that they have not Be thankful for the things they've got
There is nothing you can name That is anything like a dame There are no books like a dame And nothing looks like a dame There are no drinks like a dame And nothing thinks like a dame Nothing acts like a dame Or attracts like a dame There ain't a thing thats wrong with any man here That can't be cured by putting him near a girly, womanly, female, feminine dame
Little pebble upon the sand Now you're lying here in my hand How many years have you been here? Little human upon the sand From where I'm lying here in your hand You to me are but a passing breeze
The sun will always shine where you stand Depending in which land You may find yourself Now, you have my blessing, go your way
La la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la
Happiness runs in a circular motion Falters like a little boat upon the sea All our souls are deeper than you can see You can have everything if you let yourself be Everybody is a part of anything, anyway You can have everything if you let yourself be
Happiness runs in a circular motion Falters like a little boat upon the sea All our souls are deeper than you can see You can have everything if you let yourself be La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la, let yourself be
Bloody Mary Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers Performer(s): London Theatre Orch. and multiple other artists
Men: Bloody Mary is the girl I love Bloody Mary is the girl I love Bloody Mary is the girl I love Now ain't that too damn bad!
Her skin is tender as Dimaggio's glove Her skin is tender as Dimaggio's glove Her skin is tender as Dimaggio's glove Now ain't that too damn bad!
Bloody Mary's chewin' betel nuts She is always chewin' betel nuts Bloody Mary's chewin' betel nuts And she don't use Pepsodent! Now ain't that too damn bad!
Bloody Mary is the girl I love Bloody Mary is the girl I love Bloody Mary is the girl I love Now ain't that too damn bad! Now ain't that too damn bad!
Happiness Is A Warm Gun Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): The Beatles; and various other artists
She's not a girl, who misses much Do roo roo roo roo, oh yeah She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand Like a lizard on a window pane The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors On his hobnail boots Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime A soap impression of his wife which he ate And donated to the Nation Trust
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down Down to the bits that I left uptown I need a fix cause I'm going down Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun
Happiness is a warm gun Happiness is a warm gun - ahaa When I hold you in my arms And I feel my finger on your trigger I know nobody can do me no harm Because happiness is a warm Happiness is a warm gun - Yes it is Happiness is a warm - Yes it is - gun Happiness is a warm gun...
