Belonging Composer(s): David Gates Performer(s): Bread
I wanted love so very bad that I could almost taste it And so I gave mine all to you And hoped you would not waste it I laid awake the whole night long And wondered was I wrong But when you woke and touched my face I knew that I belonged
Belonging to someone I find is very necessary The load is lighter on your mind When someone helps to carry And even though Im strong enough To make it on my own I would not even care to try To live my life alone
For if I lived my life alone With no one to belong to Thered be no one to pledge my heart Or sing my song of love to My melodies would soon dry up And the words would leave me too It all would come to pass if I Could not belong to you
I wanted love so very bad that I could almost taste it And when I gave mine all to you I knew you would not waste it
Lay Down Your Arms Composer(s): Gerhard - Land - Robertson Performer(s): Anne Shelton
Come to the station, jump from the train March at the double, down lover's lane Then in the glen where the roses entwine Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms) Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
My sweetheart is a soldier, as handsome as can be But suddenly they sent him, away across the sea So patiently I waited, until his leave was due Then wrote and said "My darling, I'll tell you what to do"
Come to the station, jump from the train March at the double, down lover's lane Then in the glen where the roses entwine Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms) Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
A soldier is a soldier, and when he's on parade An order is an order, and has to be obeyed You've got to do your duty, wherever you may be And now you're under orders, to hurry home to me
Come to the station, jump from the train March at the double, down lover's lane Then in the glen where the roses entwine Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms) Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
The girl who loves a soldier, is either sad or gay 'Cos first of all he's with her, and then he's far away But soldiers have their duty, to answer to the call And that is why I'm calling, the loudest of them all
Come to the station, jump from the train March at the double, down lover's lane Then in the glen where the roses entwine Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms) Lay down your arms and surrender to mine Lay down your arms and surrender to mine Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
Bells Are Ringing Composer(s): Jule Styne; Betty Comden; Adolph Green Performer(s): Eddie Heim and various other artists
All around, there's the sound of the midsummers night Bells in the air are ringing evrywhere I can hear footsteps that pass on the street And lovers rushing to meet Here alone I can only imagine the sight Me on the town, in some bewitching gown But I just wait at the end of the line As bells are ringing, the bells keep ringing Oh why, oh why can't the next call be mine
Thank you, thank you, thank you Susanswerphone Ah-ahhh!
Lay Down Sally Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Marcy Levy - George Terry First release by: Eric Clapton - 1977
There is nothing that is wrong In wanting you to stay here with me I know you've got somewhere to go But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me? And don't you ever leave
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms Don't you think you want someone to talk to? Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon I've been trying all night long just to talk to you
The sun ain't nearly on the rise And we still got the moon and stars above Underneath the velvet skies Love is all that matters. Won't you stay with me? And don't you ever leave
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms Don't you think you want someone to talk to? Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon I've been trying all night long just to talk to you
I long to see the morning light Coloring your face so dreamily So don't you go and say goodbye You can lay your worries down and stay with me And don't you ever leave

Lay Down (Candles In The Rain) Composer(s): Melanie Safka First release by: Melanie - 1970
Lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up At the ones who stand and frown Lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up At the ones who stand and frown
We were so close there was no room We bled inside each others' wounds We all had caught the same disease And we all sang the songs of peace
Lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up At the ones who stand and frown Lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up At the ones who stand and frown
What if I told you were stupid, destructive, soulless Callous, murderous, malignant, belligerent, ignorant Would you believe me would you like that Or would you prove me wrong and fight back I'd like to take the sunshine right from the sky And let it shine on you through my eyes You see we all in the same boat trying to float So everybody grab a oar we can make it to shore
Lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up At the ones who stand and frown Lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up At the ones who stand and frown
We were so close there was no room We bled inside each others' wounds We all had caught the same disease And we all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing Some came to pray Some came to keep the dark away So raise the candles high 'Cause if you don't we could stay Black against the night So raise them higher again And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
Lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up At the ones who stand and frown Lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up At the ones who stand and frown

Un jour mon père me dit fiston J' te vois sortir le soir A ton âge il y a des choses Qu'un garçon doit savoir Les filles tu sais méfies-toi C'est pas c' que tu crois
Elles sont toutes Belles belles belles comme le jour Belles belles belles comme l'amour
Elles te rendront fou de joie Fou de douleur mais crois moi Mais plus fou d'elles de jour en jour Puis des filles de plus en plus Tu vas en rencontrer Peut-être même qu'un soir Tu oublieras de rentrer Plus t'en verras, plus t'en auras Et plus tu comprendras Dans ces moments, tu te souviendras Que ton vieux père disait
Elles sont toutes Belles belles belles comme le jour Belles belles belles comme l'amour
Elles te rendront fou de joie Fou de douleur mais crois moi Plus fou d'elles d'elles d'elles de jour en jour Un jour enfin tu la verras Tu n' peux pas te tromper Tu voudras lui dire je t'aime Mais tu n' pourras plus parler En un clin d'il vous s' rez unis Pour le pire et le meilleur Mais tu tiendras là, le vrai bonheur Aux yeux de ton cur
Elle sera Belle belle belle comme le jour Belle belle belle comme l'amour
Comme j'ai dit à ta maman Tu lui diras en l'embrassant Tu es, belle belle belle comme le jour Belle belle belle comme l'amour Belle belle belle comme le jour

Où irai-je belle? Où irai-je dis? Quand tu m'auras chassé de ton lit Quand tu ne m'ouvriras plus les bras Que je n'aurais plus place en tes draps Que ferai-je belle? Que ferai-je dis? Quand tu m'auras rayé de ta vie Quand je ne saurai plus aller Et contre quel sein me consoler
Au passé tu restes indifférente Tu vis au présent Alors que je compte sur les rentes De mes sentiments Demain te panique et te dérange T'as peur des toujours Tandis qu'à chaque instant moi j'engrange Des rêves d'amour
Où irai-je? Que ferai-je? Belle, belle, dis De folles idées m'assiègent Me troublent l'esprit Que serai-je Que dirai-je Belle, belle dis
J'en appelle à ton humble avis
Que serai-je, belle? Que serai-je, dis? Quand tous mes espoirs seront trahis Une épave de la société Ou quelqu'un prêt à tout affronter? Que dirai-je, belle? Belle, belle, dis? Quand tout entre nous sera fini Des mots qui font mal des mots odieux Ou bien tristement des mots d'adieu
Tandis que je nage en plein délire Toi tu viens et vas Prenant les choses avec le sourire Qui vivra verra Tu dis simplement je déborde D'imagination Et que parfois je te pousse au bord de L'exaspération
Où irai-je? Que ferai-je? Belle, belle, dis De folles idées m'assiègent Me troublent l'esprit Que serai-je Que dirai-je Belle, belle dis
Belle Starr Composer(s): Woody Guthrie Performer(s): Pete Seeger; James Talley
Belle Starr, Belle Starr, tell me where you have gone Since old Oklahoma's sandhills you did roam? Is it Heaven's wide streets that you're tying your reins Or singlefooting somewhere below? Eight lovers they say combed your waving black hair Eight men knew the feel of your dark velvet waist Eight men heard the sounds of your tan leather skirt Eight men heard the bark of the guns that you wore
Cole Younger was your first and the father of your girl And the name that you picked for your daughter was Pearl Cole robbed a bank and he drawed the life line But I heard he was pardoned after Twenty Years time
Your Cherokee lover, Blue Duck was his name He loved you in the sand hills before your great fame I heard he stopped a bullet in Eighteen Eighty Five And your Blue Duck's no longer alive
You took Jim Reed to your warm wedding bed And from out of your love was born the boy, Ed A pal killed Jim Reed by the dark of the moon And your son Ed was blowed down in a drunken saloon
Then there was Bob Younger you loved him well He rode with the James boys out down the long trail They caught him in Minnesota along with the gang He died down in jail in the cell or the chain
You loved Mister William Clarke Quantrill And his Civil War guerrillas in the Missouri hills He hit Lawrence Kansas and fought them still And when he rode out Two Hundred lay killed
They say could have, they whisper you might Have loved Frank James on a couple of nights He fought the Midland Railroad almost to death Then in Nineteen Fifteen Frank drawed his last breath
They say it could be, they say maybe so That you loved Jesse James that desperado Jesse got married, had a wife and a son Was shot down at home by the Ford brothers guns
Belle Starr, Belle Starr, your time's getting late But how is Jim Younger, did you hear his fate? He was jailed and then pardoned for all he had done And he blowed his own brains out in Nineteen and One
Eight men they say combed that black waving hair Eight men knew the feel of your dark velvet waist Eight men heard the sounds of your tan leather skirt Eight men heard the bark of the guns that you wore
Belle Starr, Belle Starr, tell me where have you gone Since old Oklahoma's sand hills you did roam? Is it Heaven's wide streets that you're tying your reins Or singlefooting somewhere below?
Belle Of The Ball Composer(s): Waylon Jennings Performer(s): Waylon Jennings
A vagabond dreamer, a rhymer and singer of songs Singing to no one and nowhere to really belong I met a beautiful lady, a pure Southern belle of the ball Like Scarlet O'Hara loved no one and wanted them all
Chorus: I'll never forget you and love you inspite of your faults The good and the bad I want to remember it all I did a new dance and you did your Tennessee Waltz The party's all over I came uninvited I'm leaving and taking the belle of the ball
There will always be someone I guess that's the way it should be I guess i should know that someone used to be me They'll gather around her soon they'll all look the same At the feet of the lady are lover's without any names
