Après tant de temps, je t'aime aujourd'hui
À la fois lucide et tout ébloui
et un jour sans toi reste un jour perdu
Comme un jour où je n'aurais pas vécu
Après tant de temps, ton nom m'est toujours
Le seul synonyme pour dire amour
Et si quelque chose a changé vraiment
Je t'aime encore plus après tant de temps

J'ai si souvent essayé de t'apprendre
Comme on apprend un schéma, comme on apprend des leçons
Et chaque fois que j'ai cru tout comprendre
Un mot a suffi pour tout remettre en question
J'ai si souvent essayé de prédire
tes réactions, tes réponses, tes rires, tes émois
Mais lorsque j'ai cru savoir te décrire
je te voyais encore pour la première fois

Après tant de temps, je t'aime aujourd'hui
À la fois lucide et tout ébloui
et un jour sans toi reste un jour perdu
Comme un jour où je n'aurais pas vécu
Après tant de temps, ton nom m'est toujours
Le seul synonyme pour dire amour
Et si quelque chose a changé vraiment
Je t'aime encore plus après tant de temps

J'ai bien des souvenirs ineffaçables
Depuis ce temps qui s'en va dans des bottes de sept lieues
et parmi mes souvenirs agréables
Ceux que nous partageons me sont les plus précieux
il n'est pas une heure que je regrette
Seulement je regrette qu'aucune ne reviendra
Mais il est des lendemains qui promettent
que la grande aventure recommencera

Après tant de temps, je t'aime aujourd'hui
À la fois lucide et tout ébloui
et un jour sans toi reste un jour perdu
Comme un jour où je n'aurais pas vécu
Après tant de temps, ton nom m'est toujours
Le seul synonyme pour dire amour
Et si quelque chose a changé vraiment
Je t'aime encore plus après tant de temps

Without The One You Love (Life's Not Worthwhile)
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; Brian Holland; Eddie Holland
Performer(s): The Four Tops



(Baby I need your good lovin'
Got to have your love right now
Baby
So come and fill my empty arms and
Make my life worthwhile)

Because

I'm not livin', baby 
I only exist
I'll never laugh, I'll never smile no more
Don't care if I stay like this, because...

*Chorus*
Without the one you love, life is not worthwhile
Without your love my dear I'm like a fatherless child
So come and fill my empty arms and
Make my life worthwhile

When I feel the hurt comin' on
I stop and cry like I'm cryin' (right now)
People ask why would a grown man cry
I drop my head and I sigh and reply

*Chorus*

(Baby I need your good lovin')
Sometimes I feel like a wanderer
(Got to have your love right now)
Searching for peace within
(Baby I need your good lovin')
I need you my darling
(Got to have your love right now)
Like a lost soul needs a friend

So come and fill my empty arms and
Fill my empty life

(Baby I need your good lovin')
Nobody knows the emptiness I feel
(Got to have your love right now)
And I feel it
(Baby I need your good lovin')
Nobody knows the loneliness I feel
(Got to have your love right now)
And I feel it...because

*Chorus* x2

Wie vor Jahr und Tag liebe ich dich doch
vielleicht weiser nur und bewußter noch
Und noch immerfort ist ein Tag ohne dich
ein verlor´ner Tag, verlor´ne Zeit für mich
Wie vor Jahr und Tag ist noch immerfort
das Glück und dein Name dasselbe Wort
Allein was sich geändert haben mag
Ich lieb dich noch mehr, als vor Jahr und Tag

Mit wieviel Hoffnungen hat alles angefangen
wieviel Erwartung auf dem Weg, der vor uns lag
Wir sind seitdem manch Stück darauf gegangen
und doch ist er für mich neu, wie am ersten Tag
Ich zähl die Jahre, die seitdem verstrichen
schon lange nicht mehr auf den Fingern einer Hand
Und doch ist nichts von deinem Bild verblichen
vermiß ich nichts, was ich liebenswert daran fand

Wie vor Jahr und Tag liebe ich dich doch
vielleicht weiser nur und bewußter noch
Und noch immerfort ist ein Tag ohne dich
ein verlor´ner Tag, verlor´ne Zeit für mich
Wie vor Jahr und Tag ist noch immerfort
das Glück und dein Name dasselbe Wort
Allein was sich geändert haben mag
Ich lieb dich noch mehr, als vor Jahr und Tag

Ich habe tausendmal versucht, dich zu erlernen
so wie man aus einem Buch lernen kann; ich Tor
Und sah mit jeder Lektion sich mein Ziel entfernen
und heute weiß ich weniger noch, als zuvor
Ich habe tausendmal versucht vorauszusehen
wie du wohl handeln würdest, aber jedesmal
wenn ich schon glaubte,alles an dir zu verstehen
erschien es mir, als säh´ ich dich zum erstenmal

Wie vor Jahr und Tag liebe ich dich doch
vielleicht weiser nur und bewußter noch
Und noch immerfort ist ein Tag ohne dich
ein verlor´ner Tag, verlor´ne Zeit für mich
Wie vor Jahr und Tag ist noch immerfort
das Glück und dein Name dasselbe Wort
Allein was sich geändert haben mag
Ich lieb dich noch mehr, als vor Jahr und Tag

Lachen und Weinen sind in jener Zeit verklungen
die in Siebenmeilenstiefeln an uns vorübereilt
Und von den besten all meiner Erinnerungen
hab´ ich die schönsten, meine Freundin, wohl mit dir geteilt
Nein,keine Stunde gäb´s, die ich bereute
Und mir bleibt nur als Trost dafür, das keine wiederkehrt
Viel mehr als gestern liebe ich dich heute
doch weniger noch,als ich dich morgen lieben werd´

Wie vor Jahr und Tag liebe ich dich doch
vielleicht weiser nur und bewußter noch
Und noch immerfort ist ein Tag ohne dich
ein verlor´ner Tag, verlor´ne Zeit für mich
Wie vor Jahr und Tag ist noch immerfort
das Glück und dein Name dasselbe Wort
Allein was sich geändert haben mag
Ich lieb dich noch mehr, als vor Jahr und Tag

Without Love (There Is Nothing)
Composer(s): Danny Small
Performer(s): Clyde McPhatter



I awakened this morning, I was filled with despair
All my dreams turned to ashes and gone, oh yeah
As I looked at my life it was barren and bare
Without love I've had nothing at all
Without love I've had nothing
Without love I've had nothing at all
I have conquered the world
All but one thing did I have
Without love I've had nothing at all
Once I had a sweetheart who loved only me
There was nothing, oh that she would not give, oh no
But I was blind to her goodness and I could not see
That a heart without love cannot live
Without love I've had nothing
Without love I've had nothing at all
I have conquered the world
All but one thing did I have
Without love I've had nothing at all

Well alright, okay, you win

Without Her
Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
Original Performer: Harry Nilsson
Covered by various other artists



I spend the night in a chair thinking she'll be there 
But she never comes 
And I wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyes 
And I rise to face another day 
Without her 

Without her, I can't go on 
Without her, I can't go on 
Without her, I can't go on 

It's just no good anymore when you walk through the door 
To an empty room 
You go inside and set a table for one, it's no fun 
When you have to spend a day 
Without her, do do do... 
Without her, do do do... 

We burst the pretty balloon took us to the moon 
It's such a beautiful thing 
But it's ended now 
And it sounds like a lie 
I said I'd rather die than live without her 
Without her 

Love is a beautiful thing when it knows how to swing 
And it moves like a clock 
But the hands on the clock tell the lovers to part 
And it's breaking my heart 
To have to spend a day without her, do do do... 
Can't go on without her 

Without her, I can't go on 
Without her, I can't go on 
Without her, I can't go on 

We burst the pretty balloon took us to the moon 
It's such a beautiful thing 
But it's ended now 
And it sounds like a lie 
I said I'd rather die than live without her 
Without her 
Without her, do do do... 
It's so wrong without her 
Can't go on 

I spend the night in a chair thinking she'll be there 
But she never comes 
And I wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyes 
And I rise to face another day 
Without her, do do do... 
Can't go on without her 
There's no song without her 
It's all wrong without her 
Can't go on 

I can't go on (without her)

I don't know what's going on
But I know what's right from wrong

I hear you talking, alright, alright, alright

Without A Word Of Warning

Performer(s): Dean Martin;
and various other artists



Without a word of warning my life has begun
Without a word of warning two hearts beat as one
From out of nowhere you came to me
A breeze passed by whispering your name to me
And without a word of warning strange as it seems
We kissed and with that kiss you invaded my dreams
I don't know how it ever happened out of the blue up above
You came along to answer my song of love
I don't know how it ever happened out of the blue up above
You came along to answer my song of love

Alright For Now
Composer(s): Tom Petty 
Performer(s): Tom Petty; Dimit; The Mickeys



Goodnight baby, sleep tight my love 
May God watch over you from above 
Tomorrow I'm workin' what would I do 
I'd be lost & lonely if not for you 

So close your eyes 
We're alright for now 

I've spent my life travelin' 
I've spent my life free 
I could not repay all you've done for me 

So sleep tight baby 
Unfurrow your brow 
And know I love you 
We're alright for now 
We're alright for now

Without A Song

Made Famous By: Frank Sinatra
Covered by various other artists



Without a song, the day would never end 
Without a song, the road would never bend 
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend 
Without a song! 

That field of corn, would never see a plough 
That field of corn, would be deserted now 
A young one's born, but he's no good no how 
Without a song! 

I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know 
The Jordan will roll (Roll you river Jordan!) 
I'll get along as long as a song is strung 
In my soul! 

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall 
I only know there ain't no love at all 
Without a song! 

(I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know the Jordan will roll
I'll get along as long as a song is strung in my soul!) 
In my soul! 

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall
I only know there ain't no love at all 
Without a song!

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

Yes, I'm already gone
already gone Alright
already gone
already gone ...

Don't know what's happened to me since I met you 
Feels like I'm fallin' in love since I met you 

I want to know what-cha doin' to me with you love 
(With your love) what-cha doing' to me with your love 
(With your love) what-cha doing' to me with your love

Whatever it is 
Knew from the start it had to be you 
You got my heart 
I don't know what I'm gonna do 

With your love 
Heaven sent me a sign that sent you 
I'm going out of my mind since I met you 

I wanna know whatever it is now, whatever it is 
Whatever it's called 
I know that it's you 
I can't help getting involved with your love 

I wanna know whatever you did to me 
Well you sure did it good 

My heart's filled with lovin and I knew that it would 
With your love 
You don't know what's happened to me 
Since I met you 
I feel like I'm fallin' in love since I met you

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

Composer(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 cœur
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

Mais enfin, il devrait être là
Il devrait être déjà de retour, c'est pas possible
Oui, il devrait être revenu
Entre vous et moi, je crois qu'elle a du l'enlever
Ah oui?
Mais oui, grande comme elle est!
Oui, c'est possible
Le voilà, le voilà, il arrive!

Alors?
Salut!
Raconte nous!
Vous pouvez pas savoir
Ce qui est arrivé
Comment ça c'est passé
Pendant qu'on t'attendait là?
Alors? Tu ne dis rien?
Pourtant tu pourrais bien
Penser à tes copains
Penser à mes copains
Bien sûr
Parler du rendez-vous, c'est ça hein?
Qu'elle m'avait donné

Elle, écoute, elle est arrivée
Je la voyais qui marchait, qui marchait
Qui marchait devant moi
Qui marchait devant toi
Elle, elle s'est retournée
M'a regardé, regardée, regardée
Comme si j'étais le bon Dieu
Comme si t'étais le bon Dieu?
Toi le bon Dieu?
Parfaitement, parfaitement
Moi, moi je n'ai rien fait
Alors là tu as eu tort
Parce que moi à ta place
Car dans mon cœur
Ça tournait, ça tournait
Ça tournait, ça tournait
Ça tournait?
Mmmm Mmmm
Mais ça n'a pas tourné
Pendant toute la soirée
Si!
À moins que tu l'aies valsée tout la soirée
Un, deux, trois, un, deux, trois, non!
Jaloux!
Alors, raconte!
Tu nous avais promis de ne rien nous cacher
Pendant toute une nuit
Oh, tout de suite, tout de suite là!
Tu as dû t'amuser

Elle, elle a pris ma main
Et dans sa main qui tremblait, qui tremblait
Elle a posé sa joue
Elle a posé sa joue
Moi j'avais mon front
Dans ses cheveux
Qui dansaient, qui dansaient
Qui dansaient dans le vent
Qui dansaient dans le vent
On m'avait dit qu'elle était chauve?
À c'est pas la même, c'est pas la même
Comme il faisait froid
Je l'ai serrée, tant serrée, tant serrée
Tant serrée, tant serrée
Alors?
On rêvait
C'est du joli
On rêvait qu'on s'aimait
Mais ça n'a pas duré tu sais
Ça dure jamais, je connais
J'ai senti qu'il fallait, fallait se décider
Aaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!

Je, je l'ai emmenée
On s'est cachés, bien cachés, bien cachés
Sous un coin de ciel bleu
Sous un coin de ciel bleu
Là, j'ai vu mon nom
Près de son nom qui brillait, qui brillait
Qui brillait dans la nuit
Qui brillait dans la nuit
Oh oui!
Mais, mais, mais pour la quitter
Comment déjà?
Ben oui
J'ai dû penser que demain
Mmmm?
Ou après
Mmmm Mmmm
J'oserais
Quoi?
L'embrasser!
Non, monsieur non, on attend trois heures
C'est une honte honteuse
Moi j'trouve ça scandaleux

With you in mind, things just ain't bad as they seem 
With you in mind, I can fill my wildest dreams 
With you in mind, I can do anything, I know I can 
With you in mind

With you in mind, I went out looking for the best 
With you in mind, cause you deserve nothing less 
With you in mind, I've done so many things that love can bring 
With you in mind

Like a flower drinking from the falling rain 
Or the same rain that could wash it away 
Gives it strength, gives it water 
And before you know, another day

Gives it strength, gives it water
