A Love Until The End Of Time Composer(s): Carol Connors - Lee Holdridge Performer(s): Plácido Domingo; Bronn Journey
I love you with a heart That knows no one but you A love I never thought I'd find A love that comes but once and Never comes again A love until the end of time
I'd give you all the love I have in me to give If I could only make you mine I love you with a love I've never known before A love until the end of time
I can't believe that you're not unreal You're everything I wanted you to be I always knew someday that I would find A love like ours until the end of time
I love you with a heart that knows no other love A love I can't believe it mine Now that I've find you I will never let you go From now until the end of time
I can't believe that you were not unreal You're everything I wanted you to be I always know someday that I would find A love until the end of time

And it's gotcha swingin' to the cha cha
Dance the bolero in a sombrero
An Shake - like a snake!
You wanna drop in when the cats are hoppin'
Let your two feet move-a to the big beat
Pick yourself a kit - ten and listen to a platter
That rocks - the juke-box!
I'm-a telling you, when you're blue
Well there's a lot to do
In the House Of Bamboo
Youve got to know - Soho Joe

Well there's a lot to do

A Love Tale Of Alsace Lorraine Composer(s): Lou Davis - J. Fred Coots Performer(s): Ted White's Collegians and multiple other artists
A boy, a girl, a glance Two eyes that met by chance There came a war romance I'm told And here's the story That's marked by fate Of love and glory, they still relate
They kissed while under a blanket of moon beams A Love Tale of Alsace Lorraine They kissed and fashioned a castle of June dreams A Love Tale of Alsace Lorraine To arms, to battle, a stifled groan In memory's hallway she walks alone That's why his flowers are fragrant And freshened with tear drops A Love Tale of Alsace Lorraine They rain
In dreams the martial beat Of soldiers in the street And then she runs to meet her boy She may be yearning, she offers prayer He's not returning, he waits out there
They kissed while under a blanket of moon beams A Love Tale of Alsace Lorraine They kissed and fashioned a castle of June dreams A Love Tale of Alsace Lorraine To arms, to battle, a stifled groan In memry's hallway she walks alone That's why his flowers are fragrant And freshened with tear drops A Love Tale of Alsace Lorraine They rain

A Love Song ((Swedish Version: Vad Jag Älskar Den Sången (by Agneta Munther) - 1975)) Composer(s): Dona Lyn George Wails - Kenny Loggins First release by: Loggins & Messina - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
There's a wren in a willow wood Flies so high and sings so good And he brings to you what he sings to you Like my brother, the wren and I Well, he told me if I try, I could fly for you And I wanna try for you 'cause
I wanna sing you a love song I wanna rock you in my arms all night long I wanna get to know you I wanna show you the peaceful feelin' of my home
Summer thunder on moon-bright days Northern lights and skies ablaze And I bring to you, lover, when I sing to you Silver wings in a fiery sky Show the trail of my love and I Sing to you, love is what I bring to you And I wanna sing to you, oh
I wanna sing you a love song I wanna rock you in my arms all night long I wanna get to know you I wanna show you the peaceful feelin' of my home
I wanna sing you a love song I wanna rock you in my arms all night long I wanna get to know you I wanna show you the peaceful feelin' of my home
The sign went up one rainy morning just a couple of hours after dawn Mrs. Hanley peeked out through her curtains
wondering what was going on The neighbors said over coffee cups, that nice young couple is breaking up
In the living room the crystal and the linen sit all packed and set to go I tell myself once more I won't be here this spring to see my roses grow And all the things you tried to fix, the roof still leaks, the door still sticks
House for Sale You can read it on the sign House for Sale It was yours and it was mine And tomorrow some strangers will be climbing up the stairs To the bedroom filled with memories The one we used to share
I know you always loved that painting From that funny little shop in Spain Remember how we found it When we ducked in from that sudden summer rain But I think I'll keep the silver tray My mother gave us on our wedding day
A Love So Fine Composer(s): Sidney Barnes - George Kerr - Philip Fredrick Margo - Mitchell Stuart Margo - Henry Medress - Jay Seigel Performer(s): The Chiffons
Oh yes, he's the darling, and I'm so glad that he'll be mine Yesterday he said he wants me to share, a love so fine (a love so fine)
When he smiled,for me only, and his kisses are so divine From now on, I won't be lonely, 'cause we're sharing A love so fine (a love so fine)
All the girls are jealous of him, that's not really hard to see They would never try to love him, his love belongs to me
repeat
Our love, will last forever, and forever's a long, long, time And I know, no one will ever, ever break up A love so fine (a love so fine)
Oh yeah (a love so fine) Yeah yeah (a love so fine) Oh yeah (a love so fine)
House At Pooh Corner Composer(s): Kenny Loggins Performer(s): Kenny Loggins; and various other artists
Christopher Robin and I walked along Under branches lit up by the moon Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore As our days disappeared all too soon But I've wandered much further today than I should And I can't seem to find my way back to the Wood
So help me if you can I've got to get Back to the House at Pooh Corner by one You'd be surprised, There's so much to be done Count all the bees in the hive Chase all the clouds from the sky Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh
Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do Got a honey jar stuck on his nose He came to me asking help and advice And from here no one knows where he goes So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear
Help me if you can I've got to get Back to the House at Pooh Corner by one You'd be surprised, There's so much to be done Count all the bees in the hive Chase all the clouds from the sky Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh
It's hard to explain how a few simple things Seem to follow throughout all our lives When all's said and done, I was watching my son Sleeping there with my bear by his side
So I tucked him in and kissed him and as I was gone I swear that old bear whispered "Boy welcome home" Believe me if you can, I've got to get Back to the house at Pooh Corner by one You'd be surprised there's so much to done Count all the bees in the hive Chase all the clouds from the sky Back to the days of Christopher Robin Back to the ways of Christopher Robin Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh
A Love So Beautiful Composer(s): Roy Orbison - Jeff Lynne First release by: Roy Orbison - 1989 Covered by multiple other artists
The summer sun looked down On our love long ago But in my heart I feel The same old afterglow A love so beautiful In every way A love so beautiful We let it slip away
We were too young to understand To ever know That lovers drift apart And that's the way love goes A love so beautiful A love so sweet A love so beautiful A love for you and me
And I when I think of you I fall in love again A love so beautiful In every way A love so beautiful We let it slip away A love so beautiful In every way A love so beautiful We let it slip away
On a les yeux de toutes les couleurs Le rire aux lèvres et la colère au coeur Et des milliers de chansons dans la voix Vous mes amis que je ne connais pas Je ne vous connais pas Mais je vous imagine Rien d'autre comme en moi Qu'un rêve qui s'obstine Hourrah
On a le front mouillé de tous les ciels On a l'amour aux rythmes essentiels Des rivages d'étoiles sous nos pas Vous mes amis que je ne connais pas Je ne vous connais pas Mais je sais qui vous êtes De grands poissons lilas Dansent dans votre tête Hourrah
Depuis le temps qu'on joue les mêmes billes Que le temps passe au bras des mêmes filles Et qu'à la source on boit le même vin Vous mes amis je vous connais si bien Et le temps d'un refrain Et l'espace d'un cri Et le temps d'un refrain C'est pour vous que je crie Hourrah
Pour chaque fruit mûrit une saison C'est en été que tombent les prisons Grenade un jour aura brisé ses liens Vous mes amis que je connais si bien L'avenir l'avenir Ouvre ses jambes bleues Faudra-t-il en mourir Ou bien n'est-ce qu'un jeu Hourrah
Paris s'endort à l'heure où le matin Un autre monde est à moitié chemin En nous aidant le ciel nous aidera Vous mes amis que je ne connais pas En nous aidant le ciel nous aidera Vous mes amis que je ne connais pas Hourrah

Hour Glass Composer(s): Tony Collacott; Jack Mowbray; Breen Leoeuf Performer(s): Elton John
I'm just sitting counting all the cobwebs And wondering just when you'll come along You said that you'd be here an hour ago But an hour ago is hours ago from then
No, and I don't know what to do I'm drawing crazy patterns on my shoe And the sand in the hour glass slips on by
Light another cigarette, watch the burning glow Catching spiders in my hand, and then I let them go Imagine pictures on the wall, watch the insects where they crawl They don't care about you and I've nothing to do
Maybe the bus didn't get there on time Maybe the train doesn't run on that line for some reason And she might not come Because she doesn't want to see you again No no no, that can't be true And I've got nothing to do

Houpetta La Bella Composer(s): André Bourvil; Etienne Lorin; C. François Performer(s): André Bourvil
Dans les montagnes en maraude La fille du contrebandier Sur son p'tit ân' portait en fraude Du tabac dans son petit panier Elle chantait la ritournelle Qu'un gars avait faite pour ell'...

Au loin l'écho lui répondait: coucou! Quand le petit âne faisait, hi! han! Au loin l'écho lui répondait: la même chose Coucou-ci, coucou-là Petta-ci, petta-là L'écho mêlait tout ça A la belle Houpetta Ah! ah! ah! ..........
Mais un beau jour elle se fit prendre Par un douanier, un bien beau gars Qui lui a pris sans plus attendre Tout ce qu'elle avait comme tabac En pleurant la contrebandière Lui dit: "ne me fais pas d'misèr's" Oh! hé!, oh! hé! Je m'appelle Houpetta Petta-ci, petta-là Petta-haut, petta-bas Houpetta-la-bella Houpetta-la-bella Houpetta, la mia bella Je ne veux pas qu'tu touch's à mon paquet d' tabac Je t'en prie, je n'veux pas Ce n'est pas, ce n'est pas Ce n'est pas, ce n'est pas Ce n'est pas ta tabatière Mais le douanier lui, il a dit: "je dois" Et tout de suite l'écho répondit
Rien parce qu'il n'avait pas crié assez fort
Alors finalement elle lui a dit: "ben, le v'la" Mais pour s'moquer d'ell' il répondit: "merci! j'fum'pas" C'est ainsi qu'Houpetta Sauva tout son tabac Le petit ân' trotta Emmena Houpetta Ah! ah! ah! ...
A Whole New World ((Dutch Version: Een Nieuw Begin (Garry Hagger & Sophia) - 1998)) Composer(s): Tim Rice - Alan Menken First performance by: Brad Kane & Lea Salonga - 1992 Covered by multiple other artists
I can show you the world Shining, shimmering, splendid Tell me, princess, now when did You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes Take you wonder by wonder Over, sideways and under On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world A new fantastic point of view No one to tell us no Or where to go Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world A dazzling place I never knew But when I'm way up here It's crystal clear That now I'm in a whole new world with you Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights Indescribable feeling Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world Don't you dare close your eyes A hundred thousand things to see Hold your breath - it gets better I'm like a shooting star I've come so far I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world Every turn a surprise With new horizons to pursue Every moment red-letter I'll chase them anywhere There's time to spare Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world That's where we'll be A thrilling chase A wondrous place For you and me

Personne n'a le droit... Non non de blouser qui que ce soit Amoureuse de toi Amoureuse de lui... aussi On n'a pas toujours le choix
Qui ne t'avait jamais vu pleurer? Qui pourrait croire à ton indifférence? Mais quelque part je sais Que derrière ce regard se cache ma sentence
Au fond c'est toi, toi que j'aime
Si seulement je pouvais t'en parler Me faire comprendre ou me faire engueuler Amoureuse ou pas...
Hound Dog Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller Performer(s): Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton; and various other artists
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog cryin' all the time You ain't nothin' but a hound dog cryin' all the time Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine
When they said you was high classed well, that was just a lie When they said you was high classed well, that was just a lie You ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine
Quiet moments at the edge of the sea Silence washing like a wave over me I can't help smiling when I think Of how you've come to be Such a strong part of me
I watch you sleeping In the gray light of dawn Half the covers off And half of them on And I can't help feeling I'm part Of some grand design And a love beyond time
I trace your cheekbone With the edge of my thumb I taste your shoulder With the tip of my tongue I smell the fragrance in your hair Of the sun and sea Of the sun on the sea
I watch the play of light And shade on your skin I hear you whisper That you want me again. And I rise to greet your grateful lips Once again with mine And a love beyond time
No one could ever love you more No one could ever love you more than I No soul could ever shelter yours No soul could ever shelter yours like mine Though the world may rage around us We're safe within the storm With a love beyond time With a love beyond time
Now we've both known Our share of failures before We both drove Our share of ships on the shore We both know the cost Of dreaming too hard, too high Of dreaming too high
But now it seems That every step that we missed Was just a trick of fate To lead us to this When we can share The taste of something that's so sublime As a love beyond time
No one could ever love you more No one could ever love you more than I No soul could ever shelter yours No soul could ever shelter yours like mine Though the world may rage around us We're safe within the storm With a love beyond time With a love beyond time
