De Jour En Jour ((Adapted from: A Mano A Mano (Riccardo Cocciante) - 1978)) Composer(s): Riccardo Cocciante - Marco Luberti - Giovanni Tommaso Performer(s): Riccardo Cocciante - 1978; Ivana Spagna - 2001
De jour en jour, tu comprends que le temps Souffle sur ton visage et te vole un sourire La belle saison qui s'en va lentement A soufflé sur ton coeur et t'a volé tes rêves De jour en jour, tout se fond dans les larmes Même ce souvenir, affaibli par le temps Quand nous vivions, tous deux, dans une chambre Sans rien dans les mains que notre seule espérance De jour en jour, je te perds, tu t'éloignes Et notre passé ne ressemble à rien Pourtant on s'est aimés, pourtant on y croyait On s'était même jurés de ne jamais se quitter Mais donne-moi la main, j'ai envie pour nous deux De refaire le chemin, de nous revoir heureux De te prendre dans mes bras, de me perdre dans tes yeux Tu verras, si l'on veut, que l'on peut recommencer ensemble De jour en jour, de défaites en conquêtes Voir sur ton visage refleurir un sourire La belle saison qui revient lentement Nous rappelle la promesse qu'on s'est faite de ne plus se quitter
How Can Love So Right (Be So Wrong) Composer(s): William Brown; Vinnie Castellano; Al Goodman; Harry Ray; Lou Toby; Lee Walter Performer(s): Harry Ray, Al Goodman, William Brown
Started out good [We started out so good] To end up so bad [To end up so bad] Where did we go wrong [Where did we go wrong] What happened to the love we once had [And what happened to the love we once had] Its slowly slippin away [I feel it slowly slippin away] How can we let it end [And how can we let it end] This love was so right [When this love was so right] From the beginning [From the beginning]
How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now
Thinking of yesterday When love was in full bloom The fires from our love Could light up a room
But somewhere along the way We made a jagged turn The plans we both had Theyre beginning to burn
How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now
How can a love so good turn out so bad (So bad, so bad, so bad, yeah) Tell me what happened to the love we once had (Once had, once had) Too bad, so sad, too bad, whoa, how
How can love so right be so wrong now
One day your love is glad The next day you end up sad Ooh, babe, what a thin line Its enough to drive you mad
One day our love was good and hot Next day runnin cold One day we had a new love But now its old
How, how, how How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now

Titles In Other Languages: 1968 - Quando Me Enamoro (by George Freedman) 2006 - Cuando Me Enamoro (by Andrea Bocelli)
I can remember when we walked together Sharing a love I thought would last forever Moonlight to show the way so we can follow Waiting inside her eyes was my tomorrow Then somethin' changed her mind, her kisses told me I had no lovin' arms to hold me
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Lonely is a man without love Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Knowing that it's cloudy above Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love
I cannot face this world that's fallen down on me So, if you see my girl please send her home to me Tell her about my heart that's slowly dying Say I can't stop myself from crying
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Lonely is a man without love Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Knowing that it's cloudy above Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Lonely is a man without love Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love
How Can I Thank You? Composer(s): Walter Bullock; Harold Spina Performer(s): Shirley Temple; and various other artists
How can I thank you For all you've done? How can I thank you My dearest one? How can I say in a word or two How much it means to be loved by you? The words are somewhere around my heart But I don't know how to start What do you do when a dream comes true? How can I thank you, sweetheart?

Doy toda mi vida A quién se enamora de mí Y no existe nadie Que pueda alejarme De lo que yo siento por tí
Dicen que no sabré Buscarte flores Que no podré ofrecerte Ningún regalo
Dicen que yo he sufrido De mal de amores Y que mi corazón No se ha curado
La mia ragazza sa che non è vero La mia ragazza sa che quando
Quando m'innamoro Io do tutto il bene A chi è immamorato di me E non c'è nessuno Che mi può cambiare Che mi può staccare da lei
Cuando me enamoro Doy toda mi vida A quién se enamora de mi Y no existe nadie Que pueda alejarme De lo que yo siento por ti
A chi mi dice vivi Un altro giorno Todos comprenderán Que cuando
Cuando me enamoro Doy toda me vida A quién se enamora de mí E non c'è nessuno Che mi può cambiare Che mi può staccare da lei
Quando m'innamoro Io do tutto il bene A chi è immamorato di me Y no existe nadie Que pueda alejarme De lo que yo siento por ti
How Can I Meet Her? Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Jack Keller Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
She's the prettiest girl in town & she sure knows it The way she walks and the way she talks sure shows it I hate that stuck-up so-&-so But there's one thing I gotta know Where 's she live, what's her number and how can I meet her?
She comes on like she's so high-class and well-bred But I never saw a girl with such a swell head She's got herself a night, I'll wait She thinks I'll ask her for a date But where 's she live, what's her number and how can I meet her?
She's in love with herself; you know the kind Always puttin' on airs!
The guys in town all think she's Mona Lisa And she's got 'em all goin' out of their way to please her Well Miss C's a mystery But she don't do a thing to me But where 's she live, what's her number and how can I meet her? How can I meet her? How can I meet her?

How Can I Help You Say Goodbye Composer(s): Burton Collins; Karen Taylor-Good Performer(s): Patty Loveless; and various other artists
Through the back window of a '59 wagon I watched my best friend Jamie slippin' further away I kept on waving 'till I couldn't see her And through my tears, I asked again why we couldn't stay Mama whispered softly Time will ease your pain Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same
And she said How can I help you to say goodbye? It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry Come, let me hold you and I will try How can I help you to say goodbye?
I sat on our bed, he packed his suitcase I held a picture of our wedding day His hands were trembling, we both were crying He kissed me gently and then he quickly walked away I called up Mama, she said Time will ease your pain Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same
And she said How can I help you to say goodbye? It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry Come, let me hold you and I will try How can I help you to say goodbye?
Sitting with Mama alone in her bedroom She opened her eyes, and then squeezed my hand She said, I have to go now, my time here is over And with her final word, she tried to help me understand Mama whispered softly Time will ease your pain Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same
And she said How can I help you to say goodbye? It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry Come, let me hold you and I will try How can I help you to say goodbye?

Dizem que eu não sei amar a vida E que não tenho nada prá oferecer a alguém Que em meu coração só há tristeza E que não posso nunca amar ninguem
Mais meu amor bem sabe não ser verdade Meu amor carinho já provou
Que quando me enamoro dou a minha vida A quem se enamora de mim E não há no mundo quem possa tirar-me De felicidade assim
Quando me enamoro dou a minha vida A quem se enamora de mim E não há no mundo quem possa tirar-me De felicidade assim
Eu sei que do amor nasce a vida E a minha vida eu dou a quem eu amo Podem dizer prá mim o que quizerem E eu lhes respondo que...
Que quando me enamoro dou a minha vida A quem se enamora de mim E não há no mundo quem possa tirar-me De felicidade assim
Quando me enamoro dou a minha vida A quem se enamora de mim E não há no mundo quem possa tirar-me De felicidade assim
How Can I Be Sure Composer(s): Eddie Brigati; Felix Cavaliere Performer(s): The Young Rascals
How can I be sure In a world that's constantly changin'? How can I be sure Where I stand with you?
Whenever I Whenever I am away from you I wanna die 'cause you know I wanna stay with you
How do I know? Maybe you're trying to use me Flying too high can confuse me Touch me but don't take me down
Whenever I Whenever I am away from you My alibi is tellin' people I don't care for you Maybe I'm just hanging around With my head up, upside down It's a pity I can't seem to find someone Who's as pretty 'n' lovely as you
How can I be sure I really, really, really, wanna kno-o-ow I really, really, really, wanna kno-o-ow
How's the weather? Weather or not, we're together Together we'll see it much better I love you, I love you forever You know where I can be found
How can I be sure In a world that's constantly changing? How can I be sure? I'll be sure with you
A Man Without A Woman (aka "Silver Dollar" and "Roll A Silver Dollar") Composer(s): Alfred Williams Performer(s): Billy Murray
A man without a woman is like a ship without a sail Is like a boat without a rudder, a kite without a tail A man without a woman is like a wreck upon the sand And if there's one thing worse, in this universe It's a woman, I said, a woman, it's a woman without a man!
Now you can roll a silver dollar 'cross the bar-room floor And it'll roll, 'cause it's round A woman never knows what a good man she's got Until she puts him down!
So listen, my honey, listen to me I want you to understand Just like a silver dollar goes from hand to hand A woman goes from man to man (Without a doubt) A woman goes from man to man
How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live? Composer(s): Blind Alfred Reed Performer(s): Blind Alfred Reed; and various other artists
There once was a time when everything was cheap But now prices nearly puts a man to sleep When we pay our grocery bill We just feel like making our will I remember when dry goods were cheap as dirt We could take two bits and buy a dandy shirt Now we pay three bucks or more Maybe get a shirt that another man wore Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live? Well, I used to trade with a man by the name of Gray Flour was fifty cents for a twenty-four pound bag Now it's a dollar and a half beside Just like a-skinning off a flea for the hide Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?
Oh, the schools we have today ain't worth a cent But they see to it that every child is sent If we don't send everyday We have a heavy fine to pay Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?
Prohibition's good if 'tis conducted right There's no sense in shooting a man 'til he shows flight Officers kill without a cause They complain about funny laws Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?
Most all preachers preach for gold and not for souls That's what keeps a poor man always in a hole We can hardly get our breath Taxed and schooled and preached to death Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?
Oh, it's time for every man to be awake We pay fifty cents a pound when we ask for steak When we get our package home A little wad of paper with gristle and a bone Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?
Well, the doctor comes around with a face all bright And he says in a little while you'll be all right All he gives is a humbug pill A dose of dope and a great big bill Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?
A Man Who Sings Composer(s): Richard Landis - Joan Melzer Performer(s): Richard Landis; Billy Eckstine
La La La La La La Dayshine Break open the wine Mid-afternoon And I'm not feelin' fine Hey big sun You're risin' again My woman changed her address And it's gonna rain Well it's gonna rain La La La La La La
But when it rains It's just a smalltown rain And when it hurts It only stings Hey sadness Come on in And do your stuff But you can't catch a man You'll never catch a man who sings La La La La La La
A man who sings La La La La La La Knows that is the end Everything I mean Everything's gonna be fine
How Blue? Composer(s): Charlap; Sweeney Performer(s): The Mills Brothers
How blue is the sky? How blue is a stream? How blue is a rain? How blue is my dream?
How blue is the moon? How blue is the sea? How blue is my heart? We're apart, and the river weeps for me
How blue is the sky? It's very blue How blue is the stream? Blue, very blue How blue is the rain? It's hazy blue How blue is my dream? It's crazy blue
How blue is the moon? It's moony blue How blue is the sea? Lagoony blue How blue is my heart? We're apart, and the river weeps for me
In the end of twon Where I wandered down I first met you And I let you Steal my heart one day Then you sailed away How I sighed, and cried Because I know you won't return
How blue is the sky? It's blarney blue How blue is the stream? Real gawdy blue How blue is the rain? It's bluest blue How blue is my dream? St. Louis blue
How blue is the moon? It's bright and blue How blue is the sea? Red, white and blue How blue is my heart? We're apart, and the river weeps for me!
How Bitter The Taste Of Love Composer(s): Cook; Greenaway Performer(s): David & Jonathan
If she should wanna take you Oh, be careful, or you'll go down Take a chance on too much love And you'll have to drink it down No matter how bitter the taste of love may be
I, I'm one who's had his share of lovin' When this is ?????? I have had my fill of girls Who lead you on But oh, bitter to see
Don't turn away and laugh At what I'm telling you Don't think that you're the only one To make the same mistakes As any others do
If she should wanna take you Oh be careful, or you'll go down Take a chance on too much love And you'll have to drink it down No matter how bitter the taste of love may be No matter how bitter the taste of love may be
There was a time when I was cool And I wouldn't listen to nobody else Thought I was the only one for me She couldn't love nobody else They say the only way to learn is by mistakes But I don't want to see you down So listen to me boy I'll tell you what it takes
If she should wanna take you Oh, be careful, or you'll go down Take a chance on too much love And you'll have to drink it down No matter how bitter the taste of love may be No matter how bitter the taste of love may be Woh-oh No matter how bitter the taste of love may be No matter........
A Man Is A Man Composer(s): Pete Townshend Performer(s): The Who
You talk about crazy affairs You talk about your life as though it mattered You get attention 'cos you block the stairs Bragging about some bottles you have shattered
Well I met a man who really lives He really does it all But what really matters is the heart he gives He makes your talk seem small
When a man is a man He doesn't act to a plan He don't have to perform like John Wayne in some B feature flick A man is a man When he can offer his hand Not afraid of appearing insane if he can't break a brick I know a man who's a man
Can't you sometimes crack a smile Do you think if you did we would run and tell I know one day your big villian style Will collapse as they turn the key in the door of your cell
I know a man who was once like you But he opened his heart No one is really bad right through He's just another part
When a man is a man And he drinks 'til he's canned He can drop to the floor, he can weep, we won't ask the price A man is a man He can fall he can stand We won't love him more if he keeps his soul on the ice I know a man who's a man
Every one of us is looking for fame He's a looker He's a dresser He's a genius under pressure I know a man who could tighten your rein He's a father He's a brother He's a rock He's a lover
He's a man he's a man He doesn't act to a plan He don't have to get hitched to a train in some muscle beach trick A man is a man When he can offer his hand Not afraid of apprearing insane if he can't break a brick Be a man who's a man

La vie c'est plus marrant C'est moins désespérant En chantant
La première fille de ma vie Dans la rue je l'ai suivie En chantant Quand elle s'est déshabillée J'ai joué le vieil habitué En chantant J'étais si content de moi Que j'ai fait l'amour dix fois En chantant Mais je n'peux pas m'expliquer Qu'au matin elle m'ait quitté Enchantée

A Man I'll Never Be Composer(s): Tom Scholz Performer(s): Boston; Smokin'
If I said what's on my mind You'd turn and walk away Disappearing way back in your dreams It's so hard to be unkind So easy just to say That everything is just the way it seems
You look up at me And somewhere in your mind you see A man I'll never be
If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am And it gets harder every day for me To hide behind this dream you see A man I'll never be
I can't get any stronger I can't climb any higher You'll never know just how hard I've tried Cry a little longer And hold a little tighter Emotions can't be satisfied
You look up at me And somewhere in your mind you see A man I'll never be
If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am And it gets harder every day for me To hide behind this dream you see A man I'll never be
