I can hear the guitars start to play And very soon they say I was a fool to turn my love away And with each glass of wine I feel a glow And very soon I know I was a fool to let my baby go
So let the heartaches begin I can't help it, I can't win I've lost that girl for sure Tears won't help anymore Yes let the heartaches begin I can't help it, I can't win I've lost that girl for sure Now she's gone I can't hold back the tears anymore
I can see the couples dancin' through the night They hold each other tight As they dance in love till the morning light The soft embraces that they seem to share Just make me feel aware Of the lonliness I find so hard to bear
So let the heartaches begin I can't help it, I can't win I've lost that girl for sure My tears won't help anymore Yes let the heartaches, heartaches begin I just can't help it,you know that I just can't win I've lost that girl for sure And now that she's gone I can't hold back the tears anymore

Se C'è L'amore ((Adapted from: Let The Heartaches Begin (by Long John Baldry) - 1967)) ((Danish Version: Du Var En Drøm (by Johnny Reimar) - 1968)) Composer(s): Tony Macaulay - John Macleod - Franco Migliacci Performer(s): Patty Pravo - 1968
Anche il tempo inesorabile rallenta il battito quando l'amore mi fa piangere e il vento di una sera tiepida diventa gelido quando l'amore mi fa piangere
Perché se c'è l'amore c'è una lacrima di più io non so vivere senza te... non so ma quando c'è l'amore c'è una mano che ti può accarezzare e poi stringere forte forte il cuor... questo cuor
Non credo a quelli che si lasciano e che non piangono vuol dire che non si amavano se senza te non era vivere potrei morire se sapessi che c'è un'altra accanto a te
Perché se c'è l'amore c'è una lacrima di più io non so vivere senza te... non so ma quando c'è l'amore c'è una mano che ti può accarezzare e poi stringere forte forte il cuor... questo cuor

Brief Candles Composer(s): Chris White Performer(s): The Zombies; The Posies
There she sits her hands are held Tight around her glass She only needs to be alone She knows this mood will pass To realize that she was strong And he too weak to stay And to realize that she is better off this way
Brief candles in her mind Bright and tiny gems of memory Brief candles burn so fine Leaves a light inside where she can see What makes it all worthwhile Her sadness makes her smile...
His alone girl fades away Left out on a limb Finds he needs her more because She's no more need for him He understood so very well The things she had to say Soon he'll understand that he is better off this way
Brief candles in his mind Bright and tiny gems of memory Brief candles burn so fine Leaves a light inside where he can see What makes it all worthwhile His sadness makes him smile...
In the corner see his face The man just sips his drink Not one feeling does he show Far too numb to think He does not say a single word No word of love to say Maybe he will soon believe he's better off this way...
Brief candles in his mind Bright and tiny gems of memory Brief candles burn so fine Leaves a light inside where he can see What makes it all worthwhile His sadness makes him smile...

Oh Bridget O'Malley, you've left my heart shaken With a hopeless desolation I'd have you to know It's the wonders of admiration your quiet face has taken And your beauty will haunt me wherever I go
The white moon above the pale sands, the pale stars above the thorn tree Are cold beside my darling, but no purer than she I gaze upon the cold moon till the stars drown in the warm seas And the bright eyes of my darling are never on me
My Sunday it is weary, my Sunday it is grey now My heart is a cold thing, my heart is a stone All joy is dead within me, my life has gone away now For another has taken My love for his own
The day is approaching when we were to be married And it's rather I would die than live only to grieve Oh, meet me, My Darling, e'er the sun sets o'er the barley And I'll meet you there on the road to Drumslieve
Oh Bridget O'Malley, you have my heart shaken With a hopeless desolation, I'd have you to know It's the wonders of admiration your quiet face has taken And your beauty will haunt me wherever I go

Bridget Flynn Composer(s): Will Millar Performer(s): The Irish Rovers
I've a nice little house and a cow or two with grass I've a plant garden running by my door I've a shelter for the hens and a stable for the ass Now what could a man want more?
I don't know, maybe so But a bachelor's life is easy and it's free I'm the last to complain, but I'm living all alone Sure nobody's looking after me
Me father often tells me I should go and have a try To find a girl that owns a bit of land And I know the way he says it, there is someone on his mind And my mother has the whole thing planned
I don't know, maybe so It would mollify them so to agree Now there's little Bridget Flynn, sure its her I'd like to win But she never has an eye for me
Now there's a little girl who is worth her weight in gold And that's a decent dowry, don't you see And I mean to go and ask her just as soon as I get home If she'll come and have an eye for me
Will she go, I don't know But I'd love to have her sitting on my knee And I'd sing like a thrush in the hawthorn bush If she'd come and have an eye for me
