At This Moment Composer(s): Billy Vera First release by: Billy & The Beaters - 1981
What did you think I would do At This Moment When you're standing before me With tears in your eyes Trying to tell me that you Have found you another And you just don't love me no more
What did you think I would say At This Moment When I'm faced with the knowledge That you just don't love me Did you think I would curse you Or say things to hurt you 'Cause you just don't love me no more
Did you think I could hate you Or raise my hands to you Now, come on, you know me too well How could I hurt you When Darlin' I love you And you know, I'd never, never hurt you
What do you think I would give At This Moment If you'd stay, I'd subtract Twenty years from my life I'd fall down on my knees Kiss the ground that you walk on If I could just hold you again
Someone told me It's all happening at the zoo I do believe it I do believe it's true
It's a light and tumble journey From the East Side to the park Just a fine and fancy ramble to the zoo But you can take a crosstown bus If it's raining or it's cold And the animals will love it if you do
Somethin' tells me It's all happening at the zoo I do believe it I do believe it's true
The monkeys stand for honesty Giraffes are insincere And the elephants are kindly but they're dumb Orangutans are skeptical Of changes in their cages And the zookeeper is very fond of rum
Zebras are reactionaries Antelopes are missionaries Pigeons plot in secrecy And hamsters turn on frequently What a gas! You gotta come and see At the zoo
Dolores
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Jacques Plante
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Sans doute je ne serais pas qui je suis Je ne serais pas où j'en suis Si je n'avais jamais connu Dolorès
Sans doute je n'aurais jamais réussi Je n'habiterais pas Passy Si je n'avais jamais connu Dolorès
Sans doute, je n'avais rien d'un ambitieux En aurais-je été moins heureux Si je n'avais jamais connu Dolorès
Pour elle J'ai su ce que valaient les gens Pour elle J'ai su ce que pouvait l'argent Tout l'argent Sans doute Je n'aurais tant de millions Mais j'aurais quelques illusions Si je n'avais jamais connu Dolorès
Sans doute me serait-il même arrivé De passer mon temps à rêver Si je n'avais jamais connu Dolorès
Sans doute j'aurais vécu simple et normal Je n'aurais pas fait tant de mal Si je n'avais jamais connu Dolorès
Pour elle Je me suis durci jusqu'au cur Jusqu'au cur
Ma route Va parfois se perdre un instant Dans quelque coin calme et charmant Où je parviens à oublier Dolorès
J'écoute Le chant des oiseaux dans les bois Et ça me rappelle autrefois Les merveilleux printemps d'avant Dolorès
Je l'aime Et depuis qu'elle m'a quittée C'est d'elle, que je me venge en vérité Sans pitié Personne Ne saura combien j'ai souffert Je ne suis plus qu'un homme amer Voilà tout ce qu'a fait de moi Dolorès Mais si demain je retrouvais Dolorès Je sais bien que je reprendrais Dolorès
Everything's The Same (Ain't Nothing Changed) Composer(s): Billy Swan Performer(s): Billy Swan
You went away and left me 'cause you thought you could hurt me But I've got news for you; I'm still strong and your are wrong To think you'd leave and I'd turn blue
Everything's the same there ain't nothin' changed The sun still shines and the rain still rains And I'm still me and you're still you too you see
Everything's the same there ain't nothin' changed
Since you've been gone I still do what I do no
I haven't changed a bit; I still eat I still sleep
I still go to work and when my work-day's done I split
Everything's the same there ain't nothin' changed ...
Dolly Dagger Composer(s): Jimi Hendrix Performer(s): Jimi Hendrix; James Byrd
Here comes Dolly Dagger Her love's so heavy, she's gonna make you stagger Dolly Dagger, she drinks her blood from a jagged edge Been riding broom sticks since she was 15 Blowing out all the other witches on the scene
She got a bull whip just as long as your life Her tongue can ever scratch the soul of the devil's wife Well I see her in action at the players choise Turning all the love men into doughnut boys
Hey, red hot Momma step aside This chik's gonna turn you to a block of ice - look out! Look at burned out superman Trying to shoot his dust on the sun Captain Coconut is dead on the run The words of love, do they ever touch Dolly Brown Better get some highway and clear out of town
(She ain't satisfied 'til she gets what she's after She drinks her blood from a jagged edge You better watch out, baby, here comes your master)

Dolce Maria
dimentica i fiori
dipinti dal tempo
sopra il tuo viso
e gli anni andati via
seduta ad aspettare
una lunga, lunga via
nessuno da incontrare...
Non voltarti più
E il giorno arriverà
vestito di poesia
ti parlerà di sogni
che non ricordavi più
e ti benedirà
dolcissima Maria
Dolce Maria
dagli occhi puliti
dagli occhi bagnati
è tempo d'andare
e presto sentirai
profumo di mattino
e il tordo canterà
volandoti vicino...
non voltarti più
E qualcuno se vorrai
vestito di poesia
ti coprirà d'amore
senza chiederti di più
e t'accarezzerà
dolcissima Maria
At The Place Composer(s): Dave Clark - Lenny Davidson Performer(s): The Dave Clark Five
In the darkness of the city There'll be someone waiting for me tonight Far from all the city noises She'll be waitin' at the place where we always meet
At the place where we can walk and talk together There'll be no one else around but her and me
Very soon I'll be beside her At the place where no one else can be found I will say how much I love her Then we'll kiss at the place where we always meet
At the place where we can walk and talk together There'll be no one else around but her and me
La, la, la, la, da, da, la...
At the place where we can walk and talk together There'll be no one else around but her and me At the place At the place
At The Million Dollar Tango Ball Composer(s): James White
Millionaires gave a tango ball the other night at the Wall Street Hall Hetty Green and old John D. Vanderbilt and Carnegie Millionaires from every town did the tango up and down I know you'd think it funny if you could see them, honey doing things up brown
Fragrant perfume filled the air diamonds shone from everywhere I saw Eva Tanguay there she was singing "I Don't Care" Leaders of society losing all their dignity you ought to see them swaying and hear the music playing on and off the key
At the million dollar tango ball, given by the millionaires at Wall Street Hall John D. Rockefeller sold the tickets by the score Andrew Carnegie was taking tickets at the door Hetty Green was dancing mistress of the floor Vanderbuilt was playing every rag encore with "Too much mustard" oh you doll no one thought of home at all, at the million dollar tango ball

Enrico se tu ci fossi ancora ci basterebbe un sorriso per un abbraccio di un'ora il mondo cambia ha scelto la bandiera l'unica cosa che resta È un'ingiustizia più vera Qui tutti gridano qui tutti noi siamo diversi ma se li senti parlare sono da sempre gli stessi quante bugie quanti segreti in fondo al mare pensi davvero che un giorno noi li vedremo affiorare oh no, non dirmi no dimmi che quel giorno ci sarà Chiudo gli occhi e penso a te dolce Enrico nel mio cuore accanto a me tu sei vivo chiudo gli occhi e tu ci sei dolce Enrico tu sorridi accanto a me... A San Giovanni stanotte la piazza è vuota ma quanta gente che c'è sotto la grande bandiera e quante bugie quanti segreti in fondo al mare dimmi che un giorno davvero noi li vedremo affiorare oh no, non dirmi no dimmi che quel giorno ci sara Chiudo gli occhi e penso a te dolce Enrico nel mio cuore accanto a me tu sei vivo chiudo gli occhi e tu ci sei dolce Enrico tu sorridi accanto a me...
