Image Of Me Composer(s): Wayne Kemp First release by: Conway Twitty - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists
Yes, I know she's the life of the party And without her things here would die Oh, but don't be fooled by her laugter She has her sad times, she knows how to cry
She drinks and she talks just a little too loud And with her pride gone she tags along with any old crowd Yes, I know I'm to blame and I feel so ashamed That I made her the image of me
I met her in a little country town She was simple and old fashion in some way But she loved me till I dragged her down Then she just gave up and drifted away
She drinks and she talks just a little too loud And with her pride gone she tags along with any old crowd Yes, I know I'm to blame and I feel so ashamed That I made her the image of me...
Der Charme Der Kleinen Worte ((English, French, & Spanish Versions: Little Words (Dalida); Les P'tits Mots (Dalida); Las Palabras Corrientes (Dalida)) Composer(s): Jean-Pierre Lang - Jeff Barnel - Jay Performer(s): Dalida
Ja Der charme der kleinen worte die Du sagst und dann vergisst mal piano und mal forte wie du grad in stimmung bist
Ob hello, arrivederci, un bonsoir und guten tag es erklärn die kleinen was du fühist mit einem schlag
Ob du laut au wiedershen sagst oder leise es war schön ob du geh sagst oder bitte bleib doch stehn
Ja Der charme der kleinen worte die Du sagst und dann vergisst mal piano und mal forte wie du grad in stimmung bist
Selbst ein gruss von deinem Krämer von der frau gleich nebenan ein wie geht es ihnen heute und ein danke gut sodann
Es sind alles kleine worte und nicht wichtig unbedingt doch es ist musik die menschen näherbringt
Ja Der charme der kleinen worte die Du sagst und dann vergisst mal piano und mal forte wie du grad in stimmung bist
Und das kleinste aller worte das man manchmal flüster nur öffnet doch die himmelspforte es ist liebe love l'amour
Es ist wunderbar zu hören I love you, Ich liebe dich Du bist neugeborn und alles ändert sich
La, la la...
Es sind alles kleine worte und nicht wichtig unbedingt doch es ist musik die menschen näherbringt
Ja Der charme der kleinen worte die Du sagst und dann vergisst mal piano und mal forte wie du grad in stimmung bist
Depuis Toujours
((Adapted from: I've Been Loving You Too Long (Otis Redding) - 1965))
Composer(s): Otis Redding - Jerry Butler - Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel - 1999
Je t'aime depuis toujours Et je viens seulement te dire Je t'aime pour longtemps encore
Tes mots de velours Ta peau jusqu'à en éblouir Tes yeux de chercheur d'or
Toutes ces nuits d'hiver Ces longues, longues journées de pluie J'en entends parler chez les autres Moi, quel que soit le ciel T'es mon éternelle éclaircie depuis toujours Et je viens seulement te dire Pour longtemps encore
Le monde autour N'est rien qu'un brumeux souvenir Rien qu'un lointain décor
Comme sur ces horloges Les mêmes aiguilles, jour et nuit S'en retournent l'une vers l'autre Moi comme tu vois Je retourne vers celle que j'aime depuis toujours Pour seulement lui dire Pour longtemps encore
Même au bout du monde C'est le même ciel, le même lit La même chaleur qui m'entoure Les mêmes parfums Ceux qui enveloppent mes nuits depuis toujours Et je viens seulement te dire Pour longtemps encore Je retourne vers celle que j'aime Depuis toujours Oh je retourne vers celle que j'aime Depuis toujours... Depuis toujours
How Far Down Can I Go Composer(s): Harlan Howard - Jerome Barney Performer(s): Lefty Frizzell; Porter Wagoner; T. Tex Edwards
I've hurt all who love me, they don't understand That my life is out of control All that really matters is this bottle in my hand How far down can I go
Tonight it's a bottom, tomorrow, what then Anything that brings a happy glow Once I loved somebody, I wish I could again How far down can I go
I'd steal a newsboy's dime for a small glass of wine My hands get to trembling so I've brought many a tears to my mama's eyes How far down can I go How far down can I go
Depuis Qu'ma Môme Composer(s): Johnny Hallyday - Jil & Jan Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Depuis qu'ma môme est partie Je ne marche qu'au whisky Et je passe mes jours allongé sur l'tapis Et je passe mes jours à guetter son retour
Depuis qu'ma môme est partie Je n'ai plus un sous d'appétit Et j'en ai assez d'manger des ufs sur l'plat Oui j'en ai assez d'manger des ufs sur l'plat
Oh la la Pauvre de moi Oh la la Qui me dira Qui me dira Quand elle reviendra
Depuis qu'ma môme m'a quitté J'ai mes chaussettes trouées Mes ch'mises en nylon n'ont plus un seul bouton Et je passe mes jours à guetter son retour
Oui depuis qu'ma môme est partie Je n'ai plus goût à la vie Et j'ai le bourdon quand je vais au ciné Et j'ai le bourdon d'voir les autres s'embrasser
Ouh!
Oh la la Pauvre de moi Oh la la Qui me dira Qui me dira Quand elle reviendra
Oui depuis qu'ma môme est partie J'ail l'cur qui crie au secours Et je passe mes jours à guetter son retour Oh oui! Reviens-moi reviens-moi mon amour Oh oui! Reviens-moi reviens-moi mon amour
Funny What A Pair Of Fools Will Do Composer(s): Carl Belew - Van Givens Performer(s): Carl Belew & Betty Jean Robinson
You're so good to me and I'm so bad to you You won't slip around on me and I just can't be true I tried hard to make you happy you keep making me feel blue Ain't it funny what a pair of fools will do Every time you turn your back on me I slip around on you Though I've never caught you slipping round I know each time you do You're trying hard to make me happy but I keep making you feel blue Ain't it funny what a pair of fools will do
Take a look at me then take a look at you We're living proof there's nothing that a pair of fools won't do You'd stopped loving me if I did the same to you Ain't it funny what a pair of fools will do Ain't it funny what a pair of fools will do
Depuis Qu'il Vient Chez Nous
Composer(s): Jeff Barnel - Vline Buggy - Claude Carmone
Performer(s): Dalida
Je t'écoute parler je te regarde vivre Moi qui te connaît bien Je te reconnais plus Dieu que tu as changé Depuis qu'il vient chez nous
Ça fait bientôt 10 ans Que nous vivons ensemble Toi qui me disait tout Tu te caches de moi Dieu que tu as changé Depuis qu'il vient chez nous
Tu n'as plus la même tête Des que tu entends sa voix Tu te troubles et tu t'inquiètes Quand il s'approche de moi
Si sa fantaisie m'amuse Toi tu cherches des excuses Pour rester quelques secondes seul avec lui Si sa jeunesse t'attire Pourquoi ne pas me le dire Est-ce déjà trop tard aujourd'hui
Quand nous faisons l'amour Dis-moi à qui tu penses Il y a sous nos caresses Des points de suspension Dieu que tu as changé Depuis qu'il vient chez nous Toi l'invulnérable et tendre Qui ne jurait que par moi Parfois j'ai peur de comprendre Se qui se révèle en toi Un seul enfant qui te manque Un souvenir qui te hante Que tu as laissé Aux portes d'un pensionnat
c'est vrai j'ai peur de comprendre Réponds-moi je te demande Comment pour nous tout ça finira
Des brumes équivoques Aux yeux d'adolescence Ont posé leurs brouillards Sur notre intimité Dieu que l'on a changé Depuis qu'il vient chez nous Depuis qu'il vient chez nous
A Wound Time Can't Erase Composer(s): William D. Johnson Performer(s): Stonewall Jackson and multiple other artists
Have you found since you turned me down The one that you were searching for Are you glad that you made me sad For you know I vowed to love you ever more
What did you have in mind when you broke this heart of mine Are you laughing in my face Darling what can I do when you say we are through You left a wo-o-und time can't erase
Tell me dear are you satisfied To be footloose and fancy free Is it power you want for the things that you have done What you gained I guess I'll never see
What did you have in mind when you broke this heart of mine Are you laughing in my face Darling what can I do when you say we are through You left a wo-o-und time can't erase
Dépression Au-Dessus Du Jardin Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Jane Birkin; Beltuner
Dépression au-dessus du jardin Ton expression est au chagrin Tu as lâché ma main Comme si de rien N'était de l'été c'est la fin Les fleurs ont perdu leurs parfums Qu'emporte un à un Le temps assassin
Dépression au-dessus du jardin J'ai l'impression que c'est la fin Je te sens soudain Tellement lointain Tu t'es égaré en chemin Tu essayes de me faire croire en vain Que l'amour reviendra l'été prochain
Even If It's True Composer(s): Dallas Frazier Performer(s): Ferlin Husky
I refuse to hear the things they say about you I won't let my eyes behold the things you do I don't want to see or hear the things they whisper even if it's true Even if it's true that you've been seen with someone new
Nothing in this world could turn my love away from you All the talk could never make me be ashamed of you even if it's true
Deportees Composer(s): Woody Guthrie - Martin Hoffman Performer(s): Cisco Houston - 1961 and multiple other artists
The crops are all in and the peaches are rott'ning The oranges piled in their creosote dumps They're flying 'em back to the Mexican border To pay all their money to wade back again
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria You won't have your names when you ride the big airplane All they will call you will be "deportees" My father's own father, he waded that river They took all the money he made in his life My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees And they rode the truck till they took down and died Some of us are illegal, and some are not wanted Our work contract's out and we have to move on Six hundred miles to that Mexican border They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves
We died in your hills, we died in your deserts We died in your valleys and died on your plains We died 'neath your trees and we died in your bushes Both sides of the river, we died just the same
The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon A fireball of lightning, and shook all our hills Who are all these friends, all scattered like dry leaves? The radio says, "They are just deportees"
Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards? Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit? To fall like dry leaves to rot on my topsoil And be called by no name except "deportees"?
I Can Tell Composer(s): Lefty Frizzell - Abe Mulkey Performer(s): Lefty Frizzell
I can tell by the sun the time of the day I can tell by the moon when you go away But I can tell when I'm holding you there must be someone new There's a love another love I can tell I'm losing you
I can tell by the moon why you come back each time If I could reach the stars I'd know your love was never mine But I can tell by your kisses that it won't be very long That you'll break my heart again I can feel it coming on
I can tell right from wrong I can tell night from day When you're on my mind when you're away But I can tell when I'm holding you there's no love in your heart And it won't be very long that once again we'll be apart
I can tell by the sun the time of the day I can tell by the moon just when you just go away But I can tell by your kisses there must be someone new There's a love another love for I feel I'm losing you
But I can tell by your kisses that it won't be very long That you'll break my heart again I can feel it coming on...
Départ Express Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Pierre Roche Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Pierre Roche
Un jour de mai ou l'ennui me pesait Pour vivre ma vie laissant ce qui m'oppresse J'ai tout quitter sans chagrin sans regret Puisque les voyages forment la jeunesse Aux gens curieux j'ai répondu Destination inconnue
J'ai pris le premier train Qui partait le matin Par hasard dans le train Y'avait une fille très bien Comme le destin veille sur moi gentiment Elle était justement dans mon compartiment Le train en roulant faisait un vacarme infernal Sur la banquette en bois on était plutôt mal Et quand j'ai pris sa main, parlant avec douceur Plus vite que le train allaient mes battements de coeur
D'un ton charmant un peu moqueur En un instant j'ai pris son coeur Puis proposai fort galamment Venez avec moi au wagon-restaurant
Sous le premier tunnel très fort je l'ai serrée Sous le second tunnel un baiser fut volé Puis nous sommes descendus dans une gare inconnue Pour cacher notre amour dans un petit coin perdu
Chose bizarre Un matin par hasard Elle avait dû se lever du mauvais pied Elle m'a dit: - pars! - Moi d'un seul Coup d'un seul J'ai bondi du lit, je me suis habillé
J'ai lui quitté, j'ai tout perdu Destination inconnue
J'ai pris le premier train qui partait le matin J'avais envie de pleurer je ne me sentais pas bien Comme le destin veille sur moi gentiment Elle était revenue dans mon compartiment Le train en roulant faisait un vacarme infernal Sur la banquette en bois on était plutôt mal Et quand elle prit ma main pour se faire pardonner Tout contre mon épaule elle s'est appuyée
J'étais si bien, je ne disais rien Intéressé me laissant griser Je l'écoutais Et je goûtais Les mots très doux que tout bas elle disait
Sous le premier tunnel très fort je l'ai serrée Sous le second tunnel un baiser fut volé Puis nous sommes descendus dans une gare inconnue Pour cacher notre amour dans un petit coin perdu Depuis ce jour nous ne nous sommes jamais quittés Elle devint si gentille qu'elle a su me garder
Working Girl Composer(s): Wes Buchanan Performer(s): Conway Twitty

The King Is Coming Composer(s): Bill Gaither - Gloria Gaither Performer(s): Ray Boltz and multiple other artists
The marketplace is empty No more traffic in the streets All the builders' tools are silent No more time to harvest wheat Busy housewives cease their labors In the courtroom no debate Work on earth is all suspended As the King comes thro' the gate
O the King is coming The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding And now His face I see O the King is coming The King is coming! Praise God, He's coming for me!
Happy faces line the hallways Those whose lives have been redeemed Broken homes that He has mended Those from prison He has freed Little children and the aged Hand in hand stand all aglow Who were crippled, broken, ruined Clad in garments white as snow
O the King is coming The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding And now His face I see O the King is coming The King is coming! Praise God, He's coming for me!
I can hear the chariots rumble I can see the marching throng The flurry of God's trumpets Spells the end of sin and wrong Regal robes are now unfolding Heaven's grandstand's all in place Heaven's choir now assembled Start to sing "Amazing Grace!"
O the King is coming The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding And now His face I see O the King is coming The King is coming! Praise God, He's coming for me!
All I Need Is You Composer(s): Webb Pierce Performer(s): Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton and multiple other artists
Find the loneliest girl in a thousand Find the saddest eyes you've ever seen Find someone who's always longing for you Find that man and you found me
And all I need is you all I want is you To give my loving to all I need is you
Find a man who wakes up every morning And lives in a world of make believe Find someone who's arms are aching for you You find that girl and you found me
And all I need is you all I want is you To give my loving to all I need is you
You're with me now so let the world forsake us I've found my heaven here within your arms And nothing in this world can separate us You're all I ever wanted all along
And all I need is you all I want is you To give my loving to all I need is you
Touch Of Yesterday Composer(s): Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens Performer(s): Ferlin Husky and multiple other artists
I'd beg and steal if I could feel a touch of yesterday Oh what I'd give if I could live a touch of yesterday The rain's been falling since he's been gone It's gonna rain until he come back home The hurt would leave if I could brieve a touch of yesterday (A touch of yesterday) The rain's been falling... Oh what I'd give if I could live a touch of yesterday
Dentist
Composer(s): Alan Menken - Howard Ashman
Performer(s): Steve Martin & Bill Murray
When I was young and just a bad little kid My momma noticed funny things I did Like shootin' puppies with a BB-Gun I'd poison guppies, and when I was done I'd find a pussy-cat and bash in its head That's when my momma said... (What did she say?) She said my boy I think someday You'll find a way To make your natural tendencies pay...
You'll be a dentist You have a talent for causing things pain! Son, be a dentist People will pay you to be inhumane!
You're temperment's wrong for the priesthood And teaching would suit you still less Son, be a dentist You'll be a success
"Here he is folks, the leader of the plaque" "Watch him suck up that gas Oh My God!" "He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good" "Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis DeSade?"
"Oh, that hurts! Wait! I'm not numb!" "Eh, Shut Up! Open Wide! Here I Come!"
I am your dentist And I enjoy the career that I picked I'm your dentist And I get off on the pain I inflict!
When I start extracting those mollars Girls, you'll be screaming like holy rollers
And though it may cause my patients distress Somewhere...Somewhere in heaven above me... I know...I know that my momma's proud of me "Oh, Momma..."
I Threw Away The Rose Composer(s): Merle Haggard First release by: Merle Haggard & The Strangers - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Once I lived the life of wine and roses And I drank a lot back then for one concern Success for me lay just around the corner I thought my social friends would help me make the turn
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses A victim of the drunken life I chose Now all my social friends look down their noses 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me The turn I made was not the one I'd planned And I watched my social standings slip away from me While I watched the bottle slowly take command
And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses A victim of the drunken life I chose Now all my social friends look down their noses 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
