Lets Stop The Clock Composer(s): J. Fred Coots - Haven Gillespie Performer(s): Eve Becke; Artie Shaw; Helen Forrest
Lets stop the clock And make believe this night of love Will never end This is our chance, dont pass it by Lets stop the clock And capture every thrill This night of love may send This is romance, dont let it die, darling My hungry heart keeps telling me Love while you may We love but once And love only lives for a day Lets stop the clock Before this moment fades into the dawn For with the dawn, you will be gone Let love live on, lets stop the clock
Let's Hang On! ((French Version: Tiens Bon (by Richard Anthony) - 1966)) Composer(s): Bob Crewe - Sandy Linzer - Denny Randell First release by: The Four Seasons - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
There ain't no good in our goodbye-in' True love takes a lot of tryin' Oh, I'm cryin'
Let's hang on to what we got Don't let go girl, we got a lot Got a lot of love between us Hang on, hang on, hang on To what we got [doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo]
You say you're gonna go and call it quits Gonna chuck it all and break our love to bits (Breakin' up) I wish you never said it (Breakin' up) No, no, we'll both regret it That little chip 'o diamond on your hand Ain't a fortune, baby, but you know it stands (For your love) A love to try and bind us (Such a love) We just can't leave behind us Baby (don't you go) Baby (oh no no) Baby (think it over and stay)
There isn't anything I wouldn't do I'd go to any price to get in good with you (Patch it up) Give me a second turn (Patch it up) Don't cool off while I'm burnin' You got me cryin', dyin' at your door Don't shut me out, open your arms for (Open up) Your arms I need to hold (Open up) Your heart, oh girl, I told you Baby (don't you go) Baby (oh no no) Baby (think it over and stay)
Bronco Bill's Lament Composer(s): Don McLean Performer(s): Don McLean
I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be But a cowboy's life was the only life for me It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free But strong men often fail Where shrewd men can prevail I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say But oh god how I worked my youth away
Well you may not recognise my face, I used to be a star A cowboy hero known both near and far I perched upon a silver mount and sang with my guitar But the studio of course owned my saddle and my horse But that six-gun on the wall belongs to me Oh god I can't live a memory
You know I'd like to put my finger on that trigger once again And point that gun at all the prideful men All the voyeurs and the lawyers who can pull a fountain pen And put you where they choose With the language that they use And enslave you till you work your youth away Oh god how I worked my youth away
Whoopee ty yioh Whoopee ty yi ay One man's work is another man's play Oh god how I worked my youth away
You see I always liked the notion of a cowboy fighting crime This photograph was taken in my prime I could beat those desperados but there's no sense fightin' time But the singin' was a ball 'Cause I'm not musical at all I moved my lips to someone else's voice
I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be But a cowboy's life was the only life for me It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free But strong men often fail Where shrewd men can prevail I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say But oh god how I worked my youth away
Lets Stay Young Forever Composer(s): Allan Roberts - Doris Fisher Performer(s): Jeri Southern; Dave Barbour Trio
Lets stay young forever Lets never grow old Let every kiss we kiss be sweet and new Eternally useful throughout the years
Lets be children together Turn the tinsel to gold Lets always be naïve and make-believe Tomorrow is never
Therell always be a song For those in love to sing But only for the heart of those who dream of spring How can our love but be warm You can turn a winters storm to May-time
Lets stay young forever No future or past Just waiting for the day, some day, today And dreaming that love will always last

On a eu tort de vouloir nous séparer On a eu tort aujourd'hui je peux bien l'avouer Tout comme un enfant perdu Je vais seul au long des rues N'ayant que le regret d'avoir tout gâché

Tous tes amis t'ont donné bien sûr raison Et tes parents t'ont aidée, les gens sont trop bons Mes parents et mes amis m'ont tous dit bravo aussi Mais aujourd'hui je sais que c'est insensé
Oh je t'en prie Reviens vite: Tu sais que je t'aime Reviens vite: Dans la nuit je traîne Reviens vite: Mon âme est en peine Reviens vite: oh oh oh oh
Oh je t'en prie Reviens vite: Tu sais que je t'aime Reviens vite: Dans la nuit je traîne Reviens vite: Mon âme est en peine Reviens vite: oh oh oh oh

When I asked you to go dancing, I confess That I was thinking of dancing, more or less But right now your eyes are filled with stars and glist'ning And they're playing a song especially nice for list'ning What I mean is
Let's sit this one out, please, Baby In some dark corner of the hall I just want to hear the band for a while And hold your hand for a while And then perhaps, we'll dance again If you love me
Let's just wander off and maybe They may not miss us, Dear, at all It's the best part of romancing And more fun than just dancing You'll agree if you'll sit this one out with me

Il faut croire aux étoiles Qui te disent, ne tremble pas La vie n'est qu'une escale Tous les hommes sont comme toi
Quand les feuilles mortes Tombent sur ton cur Pour laisser la porte S'ouvrir au bonheur
Il faut croire aux étoiles Tes angoisses et tes tourments Ne sont qu'un grain de sable Qu'une larme dans l'océan
Moi dans le silence D'une belle nuit J'ai repris confiance J'ai trouvé l'oubli
Il faut croire aux étoiles Jusqu'à l'aube du dernier jour Il faut croire aux étoiles À la chance et à l'amour
