Alright For An Hour Composer(s): Jessie Ed Davis - Rod Stewart Performer(s): Rod Stewart
Oh, didn't I mess around like ev'rybody did? I said, "Woman, you're foolin' around with a man that just don't fit" I said, "I'd better get along before I get right under your skin" Remember the song, wasn't it fun, 'cause it was just one of those things
But it was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend and I packed my bags and moved right away
I said goodbye to money, I don't owe no alimony I paid my dues and payroll cues, gonna leave it all up to you I'll take my dog and my car, the best friends I've found so far and I'll keep goin' with the mornin' sun, singin' the same old song
But it was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend and I packed my bags and moved right away
Well I guess you needed somebody to open each and ev'ry door With a large amount in the Swiss account to give you thrills and nothing more But my Volkswagen is hardly a custom built Ferarri You want firstclass but I pump gas, so I'll get on out of your way
But it was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend and I packed my bags and moved right away It was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend and I packed my bags and moved right away
Within You Without You Composer(s): George Harrison Original Performers: The Beatles Covered by various other artists
We were talking about the space between us all and people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion never glimpse the truth then it's far too late when they pass away
We were talking about the love we all could share When we find it to try our best to hold it there with our love, with our love we could save the world if they only knew
Try to realize it's all within yourself no one else can make you change And to see you're really only very small and life flows on within you and without you
We were talking about the love that's gone so cold and the people who gain the world and lose their soul They don't know, they can't see Are you one of them
When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find peace of mind is waiting there And the time will come when you see we're all one and life flows on within you and without you
Already Gone Composer(s): Jack Tempchin - Robert Strandlund First release by: Eagles - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day and they said you were gonna put me on a shelf But let me tell you I got some news for you and you soon find out it's true and then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
'Cause I'm already gone and I'm feelin' strong I will sing this vict'ry song Woo-hoo-hoo-o, my my, woo-hoo-hoo-o
The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why but I guess you felt like you had to set things right Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky you can see the stars and still not see the light, that's right
And I'm already gone and I'n feelin' strong I will sing this vict'ry song Woo-hoo-hoo-o, my my, woo-hoo-hoo-o
Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key
But me, I'm already gone and I'm feelin' strong I will sing, I will sing this vict'ry song 'cause I'm already gone
Yes, I'm already gone and I'm feelin' strong I will sing this vict'ry song 'cause I'm already gone

Alquien Que Ve Mas Lejos Composer(s): Adrián Abonizio Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Sirena del río, te busco andando en la noche, te siento Sirena de luna vos estás antes que todo Te pido una cosa, hacé que te vea antes de que me vaya antes de que me muera Sirena del faro, tu luna no es la misma luna de los mortales Perdí las estrellas, jugando a los dados y en la mesa del Diablo y ahora no tengo nada Sirena del tiempo, tu tiempo es cosa en el agua, se escapa Atále un dorado, un hilo de tanza a mi corazón, él no sabe nada menos de guerra, mi corazón es de playa Mi corazón solitario Sirena, sirena, mi mamá dejó su atadura, hace poco Guiala en la noche sílbale bajito, ayúdale Es como una niña, le basta el reflejo para levantar vuelo y allá nos encontramos Sirena del río, te busco andando en la noche, te siento Sirena de luna vos estabas antes de todo te pido una cosa, hacé que te vea antes de que me vaya antes de que me muera Mi corazón es de playa y ahora no veo nada y allá nos encontraremos que allá nos encontraremos que allá nos encontraremos
With You There To Help Me Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull
In days of peace sweet smelling summer nights of wine and song dusty pavements burning feet Why am I crying, I want to know How can I smile and make it right? For sixty days and eighty nights and not give in and lose the fight
I'm going back to the ones that I know with whom I can be what I want to be Just one week for the feeling to go and with you there to help me then it probably will
I won't go down acting the same old play Give sixty days for just one night Don't think I'd make it: but then I might
I'm going back to the ones that I know with whom I can be what I want to be Just one week for the feeling to go and with you there to help me then it probably will
Alors Reviens-Moi Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
S'il te reste un mot d'amour Un je t'aime, un toujours Oublié au fond de toi S'il subsiste que de nous deux Juste un rêve un coin de ciel bleu Alors reviens-moi
S'il te reste au fond du cur Une flamme, une flamme Qui survie malgré le froid Qui est tombé sur nos vies Par ma faute, par ma folie Alors reviens-moi
Oui reviens-moi J'ai appris à t'aimer De nuages en nuages Aveuglément j'ai cherché loin de toi Je ne sais quel soleil Mais dans le ciel nuit et jour Une fée dessinait ton visage Et c'était toi toujours toi Que mes mains cherchaient au réveil Alors reviens-moi
S'il te reste malgré tout Un rien que le tendre fou N'ai pu arracher de toi Une larme ou un frisson Quelques notes d'une chanson Alors reviens-moi
Oui reviens-moi J'ai appris à t'aimer De nuages en nuages Aveuglément j'ai cherché loin de toi Je ne sais quel soleil Mais dans le ciel nuit et jour Une fée dessinait ton visage Et c'était toi toujours toi Que mes mains cherchaient au réveil Alors reviens-moi
S'il te reste un mot d'amour Un je t'aime pour toujours Oublier au fond de toi S'il te reste une raison De ne pas maudire non non Alors reviens-moi

I'll take a walk all by myself So I can think of nothing else But loving you when we find time These are the things I'll do with you in mind I'll pick a rose and feel the thorn Every day that you are gone A new memory to live I'll find These are the things I'll do with you in mind There'll come a day when I can live To go and bring you back to me We'll dance and sing and toast someone There are the things I'll do with you in mind There are the things I'll do with you in mind

Alors Je Dérive Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
La la la la la la Je suis bien Écrasée contre ton cur La la la la la la Ne dis rien Laisse parler le bonheur Car les mots que l'on dit en amour Sont sans importance La la la la la la Jusqu'au jour Gardons le silence
Pour que je dérive Au cours de l'amour Et baigne en eau profonde Comme une algue Au fleuve du temps Je file au gré de l'onde Je dérive Étant tour à tour Lorsque nos deus curs s'affolent Au creux de la vague À la proue du vent Sans dire une parole
La la la la la la dans la nuit Toi et moi ne ferons qu'un La la la la la la Loin du bruit Jusqu'aux lueurs du matin Les mots qu'en amour on dit nouveaux Sont toujours les mêmes La la la la la la Quand ta peau Murmure je t'aime Alors je dérive

Along The Way To Waikiki Composer(s): Richard A. Whiting - Gus Kahn Performer(s): Bing Crosby and multiple other artists
Far away, far away Where the balmy breezes blow Where they sway while they play Ukeleles sweet and low
Where my heart is I am going And I wish you were going too If you stray down that way I'll be there to welcome you
And if you like, you can hike with me Along the way to Waikiki Where the palm trees swaying Playing in the breeze Harmonise with those Hawaiian melodies
That's why I yearn to return once more I want to stroll o'er the golden shore Where the silv'ry stars and the steel guitars Stole a part of the heart of me Along the way to Waikiki
If you go then I know You will learn to love it too Eyes aglow, voices low Singing love songs just for you
If the world looks blue and dreary And you long for a place worthwhile Let me know, let me show you That sunny sun-kissed isle
And if you like, you can hike with me Along the way to Waikiki Where the plam trees swaying Playing in the breeze Harmonise with those Hawaiian melodies
That's why I yearn to return once more I want to stroll o'er the golden shore Where the silv'ry stars and the steel guitars Stole a part of the heart of me Along the way to Waikiki
Along The Road Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg and multiple other artists
Joy at the start Fear in the journey Joy in the coming home A part of the heart Gets lost in the learning Somewhere along the road
Along the road Your path may wander A pilgrim's faith may fail Absence makes the heart grow stronger Darkness obscures the trail
Cursing the quest Courting disaster Measureless nights forebode Moments of rest Glimpses of laughter Are treasured along the road
Along the road Your steps may tumble Your thoughts may start to stray But through it all a heart held humble Levels and lights your way
Joy at the start Fear in the journey Joy in the coming home A part of the heart Gets lost in the learning Somewhere along the road Somewhere along the road Somewhere along the road
