Toi L'ami ((Adapted from: All My Loving (by The Beatles) - 1963)) ((Italian Version: Non Cercarmi (by Ricky Gianco) - 1965)) Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney - Daniel Hortis Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1964 and multiple other artists
Toi l'ami de nos vingt ans Demain tu t'en iras Avec un amour à ton bras N'oublie pas pour autant les amis d'autrefois Souviens-toi de nous parfois Entre nous qui restons là Souvent nous parlerons de toi Et des joies du bon temps Tu seras malgré toi près de nous Car ton nom chante avec nos souvenirs d'enfants
Tout s'efface Dès que vient l'amour La vie passe À chacun son tour
Tu es loin, bien loin déjà, aussi tout est changé Nos curs sont trop lourds pour chanter Il nous semble avec toi perdre un peu de la vie Et c'est vrai car nos vingt ans s'enfuient
Tout s'efface Dès que vient l'amour La vie passe À chacun son tour
Tout s'efface Dès que vient l'amour La vie passe À chacun son tour
Why Can't The English? Dutch & Spanish Titles: Is Hier Nu Niemand; Por Qué No Pueden? Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe Performer(s): Rex Harrison; and various other artists
Harrison: Look at her, a victim of the gutters Condemned by every syllable she utters By right she should be taken out and hung For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue
(Meow!) Heavens, what a sound! This is what the English population Calls an elementary education
Bystander: Come sir, I think you've picked a poor example
Harrison: Did I? Hear them down in Soho Square Dropping "H's" everywhere Speaking any way they like You sir, did you go to school?
Bystander: Whatta tyke me for, a fool?
Harrison: No one taught him "take" instead of "tyke" Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse Hear a Cornishman converse I'd rather hear a choir singing flat Just like this one (Garn!) I ask you sir, what sort of word is that?
It's Au and Garn that keep her in her place Not her wretched clothes and dirty face Why can't the English teach their children how to speak This verbal class distinction by now should be antique If you spoke sir, instead of the way you do Why you might be selling flowers too
Bystander: I beg your pardon
Harrison: An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him The moment he talks he makes some other Englishman despise him One common language I'm afraid we'll never get Oh why can't the English learn to set a good example to people who's English is painful to your ears?
The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears There are even places where English completely disappears Well, in America they haven't used it for years
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak? Norwegians learn Norwegian, the Greeks are taught their Greek In France every Frenchman knows his language from A to Zed The French don't care what they do, actually As long as they pronounce properly Arabians learn Arabian with the speed of summer lightning And Hebrews learn it backward which is absolutely frighening
If you use proper English you're regarded as a freak Oh why can't the English, why can't the English learn to speak!
All My Love's Laughter Composer(s): Jimmy Webb Performer(s): Jimmy Webb and multiple other artists
All my love's laughter All my love's faces She comes in the morning Her cloak in her arms She's following after The King of all Places And your tenderest warnin' Could bruise all her charm
But don't lose your heart To that beautiful sinner Who walks without shining a light She stands in the shade And the sun is there in her But you'll never know til it's night
All my love's softness All my love's graces She carries all things In her tiny white glove She hides all her lostness In satins and laces And everyone says She's searching for sweet love
But don't try to hold on To Satan's proud lady Who stands with her flock all alone on the hill Her stockings are hung And her eyes are so shady She's winning, and you never will
Why Can't It Wait Till Morning? Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins; Fourplay; Synthesizer Rock Orch.
We can talk about it then 'Cause I've had a drink too many And my troubles, well I ain't got any Why can't it wait 'til daylight? Things will seem much clearer then I'm tired and my eyes are weary And I just want you lying here with me So close your eyes I'll make it oh, so nice Well I don't want to think about what we've said And I don't want to know why we hurt ourselves 'Cause I just want to hold you so close to me It'll take care of itself and I want to sleep So why can't it wait 'til next time? 'Cause that time may never come Stay here with your arms around me You're going nowhere without me So close your eyes I'll make it oh, so nice for you

All my love, I give you all my love The skies may fall, my love But I will still be true
All my sighs will disappear at last Now that you're here at last My heart belongs to you
Oh, don't you ever let me go You thrill me so
I can see, as I recall my life I've waited all my life To give you all my love Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Bow, caballero, and tip your sombrero To your senorita, the lovely Chiquita She's waiting so long For you and your song While you are playing, her heart will be swaying And she will surrender her kisses so tender To you she will cling The moment that you sing
All my love, I give you all my love The skies may fall, my love But I will still be true
All my sighs will disappear at last Now that you're here at last My heart belongs to you
Oh, don't you ever let me go You thrill me so
I can see, as I recall my life I've waited all my life To give you all my love Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay

Why Can't He Be You Composer(s): Hank Cochran Performer(s): Patsy Cline; Norah Jones; Loretta Lynn; Reba McEntire
He takes me to the places you and I used to go He tells me over and over that he loves me so He gives me love that I never got from you He loves me too, his love is true Why can't he be you
He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind And I'm lucky to have such a guy; I hear it all the time And he does all the things that you would never do He loves me, too, his love is true Why can't he be you
He's not the one who dominates my mind and soul And I should love him so, 'cause he loves me, I know But his kisses leave me cold
He sends me flowers, calls on the hour, just to prove his love And my friends say when he's around, I'm all he speaks of And he does all the things that you would never do He loves me too, his love is true Why can't he be you

Why Build A Wall 'Round A Graveyard? Composer(s): Leslie Sarony Performer(s): Leslie Sarony; and various other artists
Here's a contortionist, Filleted Pete Tried only too well to make both his ends meet
Charlie the taximan lies over there Wherever he's gone to, he'll say it's "No Fare"
Here lies a heavyweight under the ground With a circular saw only lasted one round
Here lies a butcher named Timothy Wights A nice piece of skirt quickly put out his lights
R - I - P, that's another good feller gone west R - I - P, with a blinkin' great slab on his chest
So......
Why build a wall 'round a graveyard When nobody wants to get in? Why build a wall round a graveyard When nobody wants to get out? They say its a beautiful haven of rest But you know that you'll be a permanent guest So, why build a wall round a graveyard When nobody wants to get in?
Why build a wall round a graveyard When no body wants to get in? Why build a wall round a graveyard When no body wants to get out? "You're not dead but sleeping", they put it with care But no body calls you at nini o'clock there So, why build a wall round a graveyard When no body wants to get out?
Vietnam Blues Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson Performer(s): Dave Dudley; Autry Inman; Robert Pete Williams
I was out on the leave at the time just duckin' the fog nosin' around like a hungry dog In that crazy place called Washington DC I saw a crowd of people on the White House lawn all carrying signes about VietNam So I went over to see what was goin' on It was a strange looking bunch but then I never could understand some people Oh a fellow came to me with a list in his hand he said we're gatherin' names to send The telegram of sympathy then he handed me a pen I said I reckon this is goin' to kids and wives My friends over there who're givin' their lives He said ah ah buddy this is goin' to Ho-Chi-Min I said Ho-Chi who he said Ho-Chi-Min people's leader North VietNam Oh I wasn't really sure I was hearin' him right I though I'd better move before I got in a fight Cause my ears were hurtin' and my ball started hit my lick Then I thought of another telegram that I've just read Tellin' my buddy's wife that her husband was dead It wasn't too long till I was feelin' downright sick Another held the sign that said we won't fight I thought to myself boy ain't that right To leave a lot of our soldiers die instead I said it's a shame that every man who ever died up there that far off land Was dyin' for that you wouldn't have to wake up dead Course he looked at me like I was kinda crazy just another warmonger Oh I left that place and I went downtown and hit first bar that I'd found To cool myself off and pacify my brain You see I was on orders to VietNam little old place just north to Saigon Had about an hour to catch myself a plane So all I mean to say is I don't like dyin' either but man I ain't gonna craw

All my love is for you alone It will still keep growing when most other loves have flown! All my love is for ever new It was just created, my dear, to be shared with you!
As the years unfold, they can only bring Just the constant joy of an endless Spring And our dreams untold that are so ideal Will all fade as we make them real!
I promise this by the stars above Hear that I'll spend my life giving you all my love!
All my love is for you alone It will still keep growing when most other loves have flown! All my love is for ever new It was just created, my dear, to be shared with you!

Why does my heart feel this way Everytime you walk by it's always The same oh why do I tremble with it Send a shiver through my skin Is this how loves begins why Does this feeling exists I'm unable To resist what's happening to me
Why do I feel so alike and our being makes Me rise by the stars in your eyes I can't stop don't wanna stop what's going Through me like a kitten up a tree want you come and rescue me
Why does this feeling accured it is something You start deep within me Oh why do I trip on more time give a certains I am dying now I know your why
Why does my heart beat his way everytime you Walk by it's always the same Oh why do I tremble with it send a shiver Through my skin is this how loves begins Why oh why
