Aux Yeux De Ton Amour ((Adapted from: Looking Through The Eyes Of Love (by Gene Pitney) - 1965)) Composer(s): Barry Mann - Cynthia Weil - Georges Aber Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1965
Aux yeux de l'univers Je suis un grain de sable Oui je sais Au milieu de la vie Aux yeux de l'univers Je n'suis rien qu'un passant Oui je sais Perdu dans l'infini Mais à tes yeux, oh mon Amour Je suis un héros, pour toi Quand je vois Le danger Pour te protéger Oui aux yeux de ton Amour Oui aux yeux de ton Amour Oui aux yeux de ton Amour Je suis le plus fort... Aux yeux de l'univers Je ne suis rien qu'un homme Oui je sais Qui va vivre te mourir Aux yeux de l'univers Je me sens quelquefois écrasé Face à mon avenir Mais à tes yeux, oh mon Amour Je suis un héros pour toi Quand je vois Le danger Pour te protéger Oui aux yeux de ton Amour Oui aux yeux de ton Amour Oui aux yeux de ton Amour Je suis le plus fort...
Don't Give In To Him
Composer(s): Gary Usher
Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap; The Ventures
It starts out with a kiss Even though you're only friends Now there's nothing wrong with this But this is where his act begins
He'll hold you and tell you That's what love is for Oh but don't give in to him No, no don't give in to him Cause he will only ask for more
You don't want to lose him So you let him have his way You don't dare refuse him Because you know the price you'll pay He's braggin' that he's never lost before So don't give in to him No, no don't give in to him Cause he will only ask for more
Baby, don't give in to him No, no don't give in to him Cause I'm the one who loves you more...
Looking Through The Eyes Of Love ((French Version: Aux Yeux De Ton Amour (by Eddy Mitchell) - 1965)) Composer(s): Barry Mann - Cynthia Weil First release by: Gene Pitney - 1965
In the eyes of the world Im a loser just wastin my time I cant make a dime In the eyes of the world being born was my first big mistake I cant get a break But in the eyes of my woman I stand Like a hero, a giant, a man whos as tall as can be Any fool can see
That shes lookin through the eyes of love (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love when she looks at me-ee
In the eyes of the crowd Im a do-nothin kind of a guy Wholl just live and die In the eyes of the crowd Im another poor Joe on the street Cant get on my feet But in the eyes of my woman theyre wrong Im a king and a lover as strong and as brave as can be Any fool can see
That shes lookin through the eyes of love (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love when she looks at me-ee
Shes making me believe someday Someday Im gonna find a way To be the man that she can see When she looks at me (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love
Don't Give A Dose To The One You Love The Most Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Shel Silverstein
Don't give a dose to the one you love most Give her some marmalade...give her some toast You can give her the willies or give her the blues But the dose that you give her will get back to youse
I once had a lady as sweet as a song She was my darlin', and she was my dear But she had a dose, and she passed it along Now she's gone, but the dose is still there
So, don't give a dose to the one you love most Give her some marmalade...give her some toast You can give her a partiridge up in a pear tree But the dose that you give her might get back to me
So if you've got an itchin'...if you've got a drip Don't sit there wishin' for it to go 'way If there's a thing on the tip of your thing or your lip Run down to the clinic today, and say...
"I won't give a dose to the one I love most I'll give her some marmalade...give her some toast" Give her the willies or give her the blues But the dose that you give her will get back to you
Aux Talons De Ses Souliers Composer(s): Enrico Macias Performer(s): Enrico Macias
Les rues, les jours de marché, piquantes et bariolées Parfumées dorange et de piment Un régiment doliviers, bordés de citronniers avec une maison devant Les premières joies du cur devant un champ de fleurs Sont marquées de rose et damitié Quand jévoque ces instants je sens que mon accent revient comme il était avant
On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers Quand pour vivre plus tranquille on doit tout abandonner
Les arcades tamisées où les petits cafés Semblent sallonger sur les trottoirs La vieille maison de pierre, ce coin de cimetière où dort notre page dhistoire Les couleurs de la montagne sous le ciel qui senflamme Par le feu tout proche du désert Cest autant de souvenirs quon ne peut pas détruire Pourtant ils nous ont fait souffrir
On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers Quand pour vivre plus tranquille on doit tout abandonner
Que lon vive nimporte où Laccent nous suit partout comme une ombre doublée dun miroir On le porte comme un drapeau Planté sur chaque mot Depuis quon a pris le départ
On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers Quand pour vivre plus tranquille on doit tout abandonner On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers Et pour vivre plus tranquille On doit tout recommencer
Don't Get Me Wrong
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
First release by: The Pretenders - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists
Don't get me wrong If I'm looking kind of dazzled I see neon lights Whenever you walk by
Don't get me wrong If you say hello and I take a ride Upon a sea where the mystic moon Is playing havoc with the tide Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong If I'm acting so distracted I'm thinking about the fireworks That go off when you smile
Don't get me wrong If I split like light refracted I'm only off to wander Across a moonlit mile
Once in a while Two people meet Seemingly for no reason They just pass on the street Suddenly thunder showers everywhere Who can explain the thunder and rain But there's something in the air
Don't get me wrong If I come and go like fashion I might be great tomorrow But hopeless yesterday
Don't get me wrong If I fall in the mode of passion It might be unbelievable But let's not stay so long It might just be fantastic Don't get me wrong
Don't Get Me Started Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins
Dont get me started on politicians And the lies they spread Dont even mention sex and religion And who they take to bed But if you see me running down the street Know where Im running to Im tired of honesty being denied us Im coming looking for you
Dont hold me down, Im on my way And nothings gonna turn me round Dont turn around, give it to me straight Im on my way and nothings gonna shake me Ill hold my ground Wild horses wont make me
Dont get me started on information Magazines and t.v. Theres one man under his big umbrella While its raining on you and me Everyday its getting harder to judge Fiction from fact Im tired of truth being denied me Its mine and I want it back
Dont hold me down, Im on my way And nothings gonna turn me round Dont turn around, give it to me straight Im on my way and nothings gonna shake me Ill hold my ground Wild horses wont make me
Business as usual in our pressure steamer Where reality slips from view They say that we cant take it I think I can, can you?
Dont get me started on blood and thunder With people flying blind Not caring what or who they take with them Or what they leave behind Its one mans God against another While the river of tears roll by The things they do in the name of their father Can someone tell me why
Dont hold me down, Im on my way And nothings gonna turn me round Dont turn around, give it to me straight Im on my way and nothings gonna shake me Ill hold my ground Dont get me started

Aux Armes Et Caetera ((Adapted from: Variazioni Sulla Marsigliese Per Violino E Orchestra - 1784; La Marseillaise - 1792)) Composer(s): Giovanni Battista Viotti - Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle - Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg - 1979
Allons enfant de la patrie Le jour de gloire est arrivé Contre nous de la tyrannie L'étendard sanglant est levé
Aux armes et caetera
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes Mugir ces féroces soldats Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras Egorger nos fils nos compagnes
Aux armes et caetera
Amour sacré de la patrie Conduis soutiens nos bras vengeurs Liberté liberté chérie Combats avec tes défenseurs
Aux armes et caetera
Nous entrerons dans la carrière Quand nos aînés n'y seront plus Nous y trouverons leur poussière Et la trace de leurs vertus
The Autumn Waltz Composer(s): Hilliard - Coleman Performer(s): Tony Bennett
Chill winds and blue skies are everywhere And I'm sentimental cause I still care Constantly dreaming of one love affair When I hear the Autumn waltz
Golden october is when we met Wind dries the leaves but my eyes stay wet You are the one love that I can't forget When I hear the Autumn waltz
Come back to me, come back to me High on the haystack is where I'll be The new harvest dance is about to begin And the barn is a palace when sweethearts walk in
No strings this season I'm on my own It's the loneliest feeling I've ever known If you don't show up I'll just walk home alone When they play the Autumn waltz When they play the Autumn waltz
Don't Forget To Remember
Composer(s): Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb
First release by: The Bee Gees - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Oh my heart won't believe that you have left me I keep telling my self that it's true I can get over anything you want my love But I can't get myself over you
Don't forget to remember me And the love that used to be I still remember you I love you In my heart lies a memory to tell the stars above Don't forget to remember me my love
On my wall lies a photograph of you girl Though I try to forget you somehow You're the mirror of my soul so take me out of my hole Let me try to go on living right now
Don't forget to remember me And the love that used to be I still remember you I love you In my heart lies a memory to tell the stars above Don't forget to remember me my love
Autumn To May Composer(s): Peter Yarrow - Noel Paul Stookey First release by: Peter, Paul and Mary - 1962
Oh once I had a little dog, his color it was brown I taught him for to whistle, to sing and dance and run His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide Around the world in half a day, upon him I could ride
Sing Tarry-O Day, Sing, Autumn to May
Oh once I had a little frog, he wore a vest of red He'd lean upon his silver cane, a top hat on his head He'd speak of far off places, of things to see and do Of all the Kings and Queens he'd met while sailing in a shoe
Sing Tarry-O Day, Sing, Autumn to May
Oh once I had a flock of sheep, they grazed upon a feather I'd keep them in a music box from wind or rainy weather And every day the sun would shine, they'd fly all through the town To bring me back some golden rings, candy by the pound
Sing Tarry-O Day, Sing, Autumn to May
Oh once I had a downey swan, she was so very frail She sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail The snail had changed into a bird, the bird to butterfly And he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie
Don't Forget To Dance
Composer(s): Ray Davies
First release by: The Kinks - 1983
You look out of your window Into the night Could be rain, could be snow But it can't feel as cold as you're feeling inside
And all of you friends are either married, vanished Or just left alone But that's no reason to just stop living That's no excuse to just give in to a sad and lonely heart
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no Don't forget to smile Don't forget to dance, no, no, no Forget it for a while
'Cause darling, darling I bet you danced a good one in your time And if this were a party I'd really make sure the next one would be mine Yes, you with the broken heart
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no Don't forget to smile Don't forget to dance, no, no, no Forget it for a while
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no Forget it for a while
You walk down the street And all the young punks whistle at you A nice bit of old Just goes to show what you can achieve with the right attitude As you pass them by They whisper their remarks one to another And you give them the eye Even that you know that you could be their mother You do the thing you love the most What separates you from the rest And what you love to do the most? And when they ask me how you dance I say that you dance real close
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no Don't forget to dance
Autumn Serenade Composer(s): Peter De Rose - Sammy Gallop Performer(s): Harry James and multiple other artists
Thru the trees comes autumn with her serenade Melodies the sweetest music ever played Autumn kisses we knew are beautiful souvenirs As I pause to recall the leaves seem to fall like tears Silver stars were clining to an autumn sky Love was ours until October wandered by Let the years come and go I'll still feel the glow that time can not fade When I hear that lovely autumn serenade
Don't Forget To Cry
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers; Mandy Barnett
You always said you'd shed a million teardrops If we should part, if ever we should part But now you're gonna leave me high and dry So, goodbye baby, Don't Forget To Cry The tears you shed would build a brand new river If we were through, if ever we were through But now somebody new has caught your eye So, goodbye baby, Don't Forget To Cry
But now somebody new has caught your eye So, goodbye baby, Don't Forget To Cry
The tears you shed would build a brand new river If we were through, if ever we were through But now somebody new has caught your eye So, goodbye baby, Don't Forget To Cry
Autumn Of My Life Composer(s): Bobby Goldsboro Performer(s): Bobby Goldsboro; Bobby Bare; Hargus "Pig" Robbins
In the spring of my life she came to me She brought sunshine where winter winds had blown Then I took her for my wife in the spring of my life And she brought me a joy I'd never known
And the years they went by in the spring of my life And in summer she blessed me with a child Love continued to grow in the summer of my life And in every morning sun I saw her smile
But in the autumn of my years I noticed the tears And I knew that our life was in the past Though I tried to pretend, I knew it was the end For the autumn of my life had come at last
Now what, what do you say to a child of ten? How do you tell him his daddy's goin' away? Do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my life And that he'll understand some winter's day?
Now a rose can't be found on a snow-covered ground And the sun cannot shine through cloudy skies But I'm richer, you see, for the years she gave to me And I'm content in the autumn of my life
Don't Forget The Coffee Billy Joe
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
First release by: Tom T. Hall - 1973
It snowed the night before and it had frozen on the ground We didn't have a car and we lived seven miles from town And I can hear my daddy's voice so many years ago Saying, "Don't forget the coffee Billy Joe." "Mama needs her medicine, she's got that real bad cough We'll get our check on Monday, tell ol' Sam we'll pay him off You can catch a ride when you get to the black-top road Don't forget the coffee Billy Joe"
Me and Quentin went back on the hill and we cut some wood Burnin' in that ol' warm mornin' stove it sure smelled good Daddy couldn't get work then and I was just a child And God was on vacation for awhile
"Well, if you see Fred you tell him I'll come help him kill them hogs And ask him if he'd still be interested in my dogs Don't hang around that pool room all day, we might get more snow And don't forget the coffee Billy Joe"
Well, they wonder why there ain't no rabbits left this day and time To tell the truth I guess we ate 'em all in '49 Was that yesterday or was it over 20 years ago
"Don't forget the coffee Billy Joe" "Mama needs her medicine, she's got that real bad cough We'll get our check on Monday tell ol' Sam we'll pay him off You can catch a ride when you get to the black-top road Don't forget the coffee Billy Joe (Now pay attention, son) Don't forget the coffee Billy Joe"
