What If We Composer(s): Marc Paelinck - Gregory Bilsen First performance by: Chiara - 2009
Words of wisdom, prophets and quotes Wise men talking, tales from the old I reach for the stars, wherever they are, in darkness We're lost, fading away
What if we could be free? Mystify our wisdom in time And one day we'll see What if we found the key? Throw the dice, unravel our lies And learn how to be
All the madness feeding our soul Take a wild guess out of control There will be a star, no matter how far, shining One day we'll sail away
What if we could be free? Mystify our wisdom in time And one day we'll see What if we found the key? Throw the dice, unravel our lies And learn how to be
If you don't know your destination Who determines your destiny?
What if we could be free? Mystify our wisdom in time And one day we'll see What if we found the key? Throw the dice, unravel our lies And learn how to be
(You Make Me) Hungry For Your Loving French Title: Par Gourmandise Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
You make me hungry for your loving Takes (?) your smile from my heart Youre like the cherry cake and candy I used to steal when I was young The sweet objective of desire Forbidden fruit that must be mine I want to know you with my kisses And drink your lips like some wine
You make me hungry for your loving I devour you with my eyes Your body talks to me of pleasure The food that love alone supplies Arosing up the tides within me That I have never known before And in my greediness I take you And come again and ask for more
You make me hungry for your loving I savour every part of you You fill my senses so (?) quickly And all you say and all you do You really satisfy my hunger Theres so much love that I can call (?)
Now were alone, you must come closer The taste of loving you is all I needed to know
(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Man Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King; Jerry Wexler Performer(s): Rod Stewart; James Ingram; The Lettermen
Looking out on the morning rain I used to feel so uninspired But when I knew I had to face another long, long day girl I used to feel so tired
Before the day I met you life had been so unkind but you're the key to my peace of mind 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel you made me feel like a natural man
When my soul was in the lost and found you came along to claim it I didn't know, I didn't know just what was wrong with me till your kiss helped me to name it Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for but if I make you happy I don't need to do more 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel you made me feel like a natural man
Oo baby, baby look what you have done to me Can't you see that you made me feel so good inside Don't you know that I just want to be close to you, you made me feel so alive 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel you made me feel like a natural man
Baby I ain't doubtful of what I'm living for but if I make you happy I don't need to do more 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel Well you made me feel like a natural man
Always Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Vincent Lopez & His Orch. and multiple other artists

I'll be loving you, oh always With a love that's true, always When the things you've planned Need a helping hand I will understand, always
Always
Days may not be fair, always That's when I'll be there, always Not for just an hour Not for just a day Not for just a year But always

Been to Colorado where the mountains touch the sky And I've done other things in life to lift my spirits high But nothing that I've ever tried to do Has taken me as high as loving you
Chorus: Cause you lift me up, up, up, up to heaven When you gently lay me down You lift me up, up, up, up to heaven Yes you make my world go round
I never try to get away on daydreams anymore Love's taken me to places that I've never been before But if it's not heaven when you're holding me It's the way that heaven oughta be

And we never leave the ground Up, up, up, up to heaven Yes you make my world go round

(You Got To Walk And) Don't Look Back Composer(s): Smokey Robinson; Ronald White Performer(s): Peter Tosh & Mick Jagger
If it's love that you're running from There is no hiding place (You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run) Just your problems no one elses problems You just have to face (You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)
So if you just put your hand in mine We're gonna leave all our troubles behind We gonna walk And don't look back (Don't look back) We gonna walk And don't look back (Don't look back)
Now if your first lover let you down There's something that can be done (You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run) Don't heal your faith in love Remembering what's become
So if you just put your hand in mine We're gonna leave all our troubles behind We gonna walk And don't look back (Don't look back) We gonna walk And don't look back (Don't look back)
Instrumental
Places behind you There to remind you
If your first lover broke your heart Something can be done (You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run) Don't heal your faith in love Remembering whats been lost (You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)
So if you just put your hand in mine We're gonna leave all our troubles behind We gonna walk And don't look back (Don't look back) We gonna walk And don't look back (Don't look back)
Mick Jagger and Peter Tosh hold this conversation while background singers continue singing back-up

(You Dyed Your Hair) Chartreuse Composer(s): J. Leslie McFarland; Billy Moore Jr. Performer(s): Louis Jordan; Chris Daniels
You're a freckled gal You're a pug-nosed cutey sweet as Charlotte Russe You've got big blue eyes So I ask you why have you dyed your hair chartreuse?
Chartreuse (chartreuse) Chartreuse (chartreuse) Though you think it's mighty cute Just wait 'til I write and tell your ma That you dyed your hair chartreuse (repeat)
In the days of old When the knights were bolder and the girls were truer blue Just think what paw Would have said to maw had she dyed her hair chartreuse Chartreuse (chartreuse) Chartreuse (chartreuse) Though you think it's mighty cute You went too far in that beauty booth When you dyed your hair chartreuse
Now you know I know That your hair was black when we lived on Chestnut Street When you wore pigtails And ginger ale was your most favourite treat You're a big girl now So you think it's cuter being fast and fancy-loose But you went too far in that beauty booth When you dyed your hair chartreuse
Chartreuse (chartreuse) Chartreuse (chartreuse) Though you think it's mighty cute Just wait 'til I write and tell your ma That you dyed your hair chartreuse Chartreuse (chartreuse) Chartreuse (chartreuse) Though you think it's mighty cute But just wait 'til I write and tell your ma You didn't like black, you didn't like red You hated blondes, well, it's no use You got mad and dyed your hair...

Always Composer(s): Guy Allison - Graham Russell - Michael Sherwood Performer(s): Air Supply
I can see hills touch the sky Heaven and earth, you and I Know we will always be Here in the silence we lie Shadows we cast, you and I Speak for eternity
Pressed between pages Flowers will die Stories may end as time passes by You and I will always be
With every word that I hear Whenever whispers are near I can believe in fate Promises made, only one Yesterday fades from the sun And falls to a new embrace
Tears overflow as rivers run dry Here in a moment, time passes by You and I will always be, for always
Pressed between pages, flowers will die Stories may end as time passes by You and I will always be, will always be
(You Bring Out) The Wild Side Of Me Composer(s): Dan Seals Performer(s): Dan Seals
Our friends all think I am a gentle man By the clothes that I wear, the things I say But when I hold you in my arms There's a feeling you set free You bring out the wild side of me
I thought I knew what love was all about And I made all the moves so carefully When I'm with you, I do some things I never thought I'd do or see 'Cause you bring out the wild side of me
Chorus
No one's there to notice When the change comes over me When I kiss your sweet lips And hold you tenderly No one sees the stranger That this simple man can be When you bring out the wild side of me
You always seem to know what's on my mind And you're everything I'll ever need And when that love light's in your eyes There's no place I'd rather be 'Cause you bring out the wild side of me
Chorus
No one's there to notice When the change comes over me When I kiss your sweet lips And hold you tenderly No one sees the stranger That this simple man can be When you bring out the wild side of me
Honolulu Baby Composer(s): T. Marvin Hatley Performer(s): Laurel & Hardy
While down on a South Sea island Underneath the beauty of the stars I strayed upon some maidens Who were strumming on their guitars A hula maid was dancing And she knew I'd found my paradise So this is what I told her As I gazed into her eyes...
Honolulu baby, where'd you get those eyes And that dark complexion, I just idolize Honolulu baby, where'd you get that style And the pretty red lips, and that sunny smile When you start to dance, your hula hips entrance When you shake it up and down You shake a little here, you shake a little there Well you got the boys going to town Honolulu baby, sure know your stuff Honolulu baby, gonna call your bluff

Versions In Other Languages:
1974 - (C'est Une) Honky Tonk Woman (by Johnny Hallyday)
1979 - Die Beislhur (by Peter Schleicher)
I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
It's the honky tonk women
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
I laid a divorcee in New York City
I had to put up some kind of a fight
The lady, then she covered me in roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
It's the honky tonk women
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
