Little Girl Gone Composer(s): Donna Fargo Performer(s): Donna Fargo
It just took a little while For me to get my head together Growing up's the hardest thing I've ever done
Here I am like a stranger In the house I grew up in And learned right from wrong and if I did Where the sun never shined enough And daddy's growing older And mother's never dying, but she did
And I remember feeling guilty Cause I couldn't wait to leave here Though I loved them every way that I knew how So I packed up all my yesterdays And headed for tomorrow It's almost tomorrow now
And daddy's little girl is home But where's the little girl gone She bundled up her dirty jeans The teenie bopper magazines In search of what her life was all about With a little rag doll named Charlie Brown And an old suit case full of hand me downs And a loneliness she knew so much about
And now the dreams that I trusted And all the play things have rusted But here I am a woman, somehow And all those growing pains of yesterday Are gonna get me through tomorrow Cause it's almost tomorrow now
And daddy's little girl is home But where's the little girl gone She bundled up her dirty jeans The teenie bopper magazines In search of what her life was all about With a little rag doll named Charlie Brown And an old suit case full of hand me downs And a loneliness she knew so much about
Oh, but I can still remember When I used to gaze out this window Wondering who I was and what I would become And it just took a little while for me To get my head together Growing up's the hardest thing I've ever done
Ah, yes, I can still remember
When I used to gaze out this window Wondering who I was and what I would become And it just took a little while for me To get my head together Growing up's the hardest thing I've ever done
Make Believe Composer(s): Jack Shilkret; Benny Davis Performer(s): Nora Bayes and various other artists
There are times when you feel sad and blue Something's wrong, you don't know what to do When you feel that way, stop and think awhile Just make believe and smile
Make believe you are glad when you're sorry Sunshine will follow the rain When things go wrong, it won't be long Soon they'll be right again
Tho' your love dreams have gone, make believe, don't let on Smile tho' your heart may be broken For when bad luck departs, you will find good luck starts Don't grieve, just make believe
When your dearest friends have turned away And blue skies above have turned to gray Don't worry for it may not all be true Here's my advice to you
Make believe you are glad when you're sorry Sunshine will follow the rain When things go wrong, it won't be long Soon they'll be right again
Tho' your love dreams have gone, make believe, don't let on Smile tho' your heart may be broken For when bad luck departs, you will find good luck starts Don't grieve, just make believe
Little Girl Feeling Composer(s): Helen Cornelius - Jerry Crutchfield Performer(s): Barbara Fairchild
I put on my faded blue jeans, the patches on the pockets Tied yellow ribbons 'round the pigtails in my hair Walked barefoot 'neath the sunshine, stopped to pick a flower But that little girl feeling wasn't there
Can't find that little girl feeling It's not the same anymore I just can't hook it, yesterday took it Since you came in and out my door Can't find the feeling anymore
I got out all my old records by Elvis and the Beatles Called my best friend and we talked an hour or so Thought back through childhood memories, trying to forget you But still those big girl heartaches wouldn't go
I went out to see a movie, sat right on the front row Ate a box of popcorn and I cheered the hero on But when the show was over I just went to pieces That little girl feeling was gone
Can't find that little girl feeling It's not the same anymore I just can't hook it, yesterday took it Since you came in and out my door Can't find the feeling anymore
Make Believe Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Jimmie Lunceford and various other artists
The game of "just supposing" is the sweetest game I know Our dreams are more romantic than the world we see And if the things we dream about don't happen to be so That's just an unimportant technicality....
We could make believe I love you Only make believe that you love me Others find peace of mind in pretending Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we Make believe our lips are blending In a phantom kiss, or two, or three? Might as well make believe I love you For to tell the truth, I do
Your pardon I pray, 'twas too much to say The words that betray my heart We only pretend, you do not offend In playing a lover's part
Though the cold and brutal fact is you and I have never met We need not mind convention's P's and Q's If we put our thoughts in practice we can banish all regret Imagining most anything we choose....
We could make believe I love you Only make believe that you love me Others find peace of mind in pretending Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we Make believe our lips are blending In a phantom kiss or two, or three? Might as well make believe I love you For to tell the truth, I do
Make A Little Magic Composer(s): Bob Carpenter; Jeff Hanna; Richard Hathaway Performer(s): The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; Nicolette Larson
I don't need the same excuses All this talk is really useless You run for cover Everytime I'm close to you
Don't want to hear about the others There's something here we should discover Let's make a little magic Before the night is through
Oh, you've seen it all before And heard the same lines But if you're willing to take a chance It could be all right, so fine We'll find ourselves dancing by firelight
So don't you try to change the subject Or try to put yourself above it A boy could get pneumonia sitting next to you That's true
A little sleep is all we're losing It's up to us to do the choosing Let's make a little magic before the night is through Make a little magic before the night is through
Ooh, to the blue skies Where no one can reach us It may sound crazy but just hold on tight Never has a love run deeper Baby my heart is true Baby my heart is true
A little sleep is all we're losing It's up to us to do the choosing Let's make a little magic before the night is through
Little Girl Composer(s): John Mayall Performer(s): John Mayall
You're gonna be mine, little girl, you've been through 18 years of pain You're gonna be mine, little girl, you've been through 18 years of pain I'm gonna give you a love, child, you won't feel bad again
You've been mistreated, little girl, but I swear, I swear it'll be outgrown You've been mistreated, little girl, but I swear, I swear it'll be outgrown I'm gonna give you a love, child, something you've never known
You're gonna be mine, little girl, even if I can't have you by my side You're gonna be mine, little girl, even if I can't have you by my side You're gonna remember the love, child, that made you satisfied
Little Ghetto Boy Composer(s): Edward Howard - Earl DeRouen First release by: Donny Hathaway - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
Little ghetto boy, playing in the ghetto street Whatcha' gonna do when you grow up and have to face responsiblity? Will you spend your days and nights in the pool room? Will you sell caps of madness to the neighborhood? Little ghetto boy You already know how proud life can be 'cause you've seen so much pain and misery
Little ghetto boy Your daddy was blown away He robbed that grocery store Don't you know that was a sad, sad old day? All your young life You've seen such misery and pain The world is a cruel place to live and it ain't gonna change You're so young You've got so far to go on and don't think you'll reach your goal Young man, little ghetto boy, look at you
Little ghetto boy When, when, when you become a man you can make things change if you just take the stand You gotta believe it yourself in all you do You've gotta fight to make it better then you will see how others will start believing to Then, my son, things will start to get better
Everything has got to get better Everything has got to get better ...
Maître Pierre Composer(s): Jacques Plante; Henri Betti Performer(s): Georges Guétary and various other artists
Il fait bon chez vous maître Pierre Il fait bon dans votre moulin Le froment vol' dans la lumière Et partout ça sent bon le grain J'avais douze ans et j'étais haut comme trois pommes Qu'en me voyant vous me disiez d'un ton bonhomme Voyez-moi ce sacré p'tit drôle Le métier lui semble à son goût Prends ce sac, mets-le sur l'épaule Maître Pierre, il fait bon chez vous Hardi! Hardi petit gars Bonnet sur l'il, sourire aux lèvres Hardi! tant qu'il a deux bras Un bon meunier ne s'arrête pas
Il fait bon chez vous maître Pierre Je m'souviens de mes dix-huit ans Votre fille était écolière Que déjà, moi je l'aimais tant Et quand plus tard je l'épousai devenue grande Tout le village est venu danser dans la grange Et toujours de ses grandes ailes Le moulin continue tout doux Le tic-tac de son cur fidèle Maître Pierre, il fait bon chez vous Hardi! Hardi petit gars Bonnet sur l'il, sourire aux lèvres Hardi! tant qu'il a deux bras Un bon meunier ne s'arrête pas
Il fait bon chez vous maître Pierre A trente ans j'aimais mon métier J'adorais ma jolie meunière C'est alors que vous nous quittiez Mais quand du ciel vous regardez par la campagne Tous ce moulins tournant du Nord à la Bretagne Vous pensez avec un sourire Qu'on est là pour en mettre un coup Et qu'on a bien raison de dire Maître Pierre il fait bon chez vous Hardi! Hardi petit gars Bonnet sur l'il, sourire aux lèvres Hardi! tant qu'il a deux bras Un bon meunier ne s'arrête pas

Maisons Blanches Composer(s): Marc Estève; Enrico Macias Performer(s): Enrico Macias
On a tous une maison blanche, sur un coin de doriers Quatre murs au soleil, qu'on habille en dimanche Pour l'été, les jours feriers Un chalet, sous les flocons, bungalow sur l'océan
Aquitaine, il y fait bon Au milieu des rires et des cris d'enfants Aquitaine, il y fait bon Loin de ces bruits, qu'en semaine on entend
On a tous une maison blanche Cachée derrière deux palmiers Qui remurent quand le jour flanche Quelques feuilles, j'en ai par les années
On a tous une maison blanche Eclairée par les rosiers Qui étalent leurs cous, leurs franches Du rouge au plus profond des violiers
On a tous une maison blanche Qui se moque du mauvais temps On se laisse bercer, comme un nid dans les branches Qui balancent au grès du vent
Un radeau sur les nuages Une case sur l'Amazone Où l'amour en paysage, frappe aux carreaux de nos soirs et d'automne Où l'amour prend le visage, de ces refrains que le monde fredonne
On a tous une maison blanche Cachée derrière deux palmiers Qui remurent quand le jour flanche Quelques feuilles, j'en ai par les années
On a tous une maison blanche, éclairée par les rosiers Qui étalent leurs cous, leurs franches Du rouge au plus profond des violiers Cette maison tant de fois rêvée
Mon amour, je t'en offre les clefs Mon amour, je t'en offre les clefs
Little Folks Composer(s): Charlie Daniels Performer(s): Charlie Daniels
Little folks are people too Very much like me and you The little things they say and do They kinda make your day Foolishness and common sense Through the eyes of innocence Skip a rope or jump a fence Gettin' in the way
Daddy, why are you so tall? Daddy, why am I so small? Daddy, who makes snowflakes fall? Could it be the Lord? Chasing puppies, climbin' trees Bumping heads and skinnin' knees It's not very hard to see That kids are God's reward
Little folks get down and out The girls will cry and boys will pout Before you know what it's about They're smiling once again Colored kites on summer breeze Jingle Bells and Christmas trees Too soon they're only memories Do you remember when?
Daddy, what makes eagles fly? What makes clouds float in the sky? And Daddy, if I really try Will I grow up someday?
But little folks slip through our hands Like so many grains of sand You'd best enjoy them while you can So soon they fly away ...
Mais Si Je N'ai Rien Composer(s): Bernard Dimey; Francis Laï Performer(s): Yves Montand
J'aurai du soleil au long des années J'aurai la clarté de tes yeux ouverts L'amour fleurissant au long des allées Nous nous en irons sous les arbres verts Au long des chemins de notre aventure Et dans nos jardins tous peuplés d'oiseaux Là nous irons boire à des sources pures Qui réfléchiront ton regard dans l'eau
{Refrain:} Mais, si je n'ai rien Aime-moi quand même Aimons-nous quand même Et tout sera bien
Nous aurons la vie pour nous toute entière Et j'aurai le temps d'apprendre à t'aimer Et le temps d'attendre tout ce que j'espère Pour voir si l'amour tient ce qu'il promet J'aurai des châteaux au fond des provinces Qui domineront du haut de leurs tours Ceux de tous les rois, ceux de tous les princes Et nous vivrons là jusqu'au dernier jour
{au Refrain}
J'aurai des bateaux sur la mer de chine Chargés de parfums, de soies, de bijoux Et de diamants bleus et de perles fines Oui, j'aurai pour toi tout l'or du Pérou Les jours passeront si tu le désires Sans que le soleil se couche jamais Et j'aurai l'éclat de ton beau sourire Et le bonheur fou de pouvoir t'aimer
Little Egypt (Ying-Yang) Composer(s): Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller First release by: The Coasters - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
I went and bought myself a ticket and I sat down in the very first row, wo wo They pulled the curtain but then when they turned the spotlight way down low, wo wo little Egypt came out strotting wearing nothing but a button and a bow, wo wo singing, "Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah''
She had a ruby on her tummy and a diamond big as Texas on her toe, wo wo She let her hair down and she did the hoochie koochie real slow, wo wo When she did her special number on a zebra skin I thought she'd stop the show, wo wo singing, "Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!"
She did a triple somersault and when she hit the ground she winked at the audience and then she turned around She had a picture of a cowboy tattooed on her spine saying Phoenix, Arizona, nineteen forty-nine
Yeah, but let me tell you people little Egypt doesn't dance there anymore, wo wo She's too busy mopping and a taking care of shopping at the store, wo wo 'Cause we got seven kids and all day long they crawl around the floor, wo wo singing, "Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!"
Mais Qu'est-Ce Que J'ai? Composer(s): Edith Piaf; Henri Betti Performer(s): Yves Montand; Nila Cara
Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai à tant l'aimer Que ça me donne envie de crier Sur tous les toits, elle est à moi J'aurais l'air fin si je faisais ça C'est pas normal me direz-vous D'aimer comme ça être fou! Je le suis bien oui mais voilà Je n'y peux rien c'est malgré moi Et quand ça me prend y'a rien à faire Je l'aime tant c'est merveilleux Je ne vis plus sur cette terre, lorsque je rêve à ses yeux A ses yeux bleus comme l'azur, a ses cheveux, d'un blond si pur Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai à tant l'aimer Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai
L'amour c'est vraiment extraordinaire Je n'ai plus du tout les pieds sur la terre Tous mes copains maintenant se moquent de moi, car au plus loin que je les aperçois Allez ça y est, me voilà reparti! Elle a cela, elle a ceci Oui, oui qui disent on voit très bien Ces idiots n'y comprennent rien!
Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai à tant l'aimer Que ça me donne envie de crier Sur tous les toits, elle est à moi J'aurais l'air fin si je faisais ça C'est merveilleux un grand amour Quand c'est basé sur du toujours Pour un rien, je suis malheureux, pour encore moins je suis heureux Et quand ça me reprend y'a rien à faire Je l'aime tant c'est merveilleux Je ne vis plus sur cette terre, lorsque je rêve à ses yeux A ses yeux bleus comme l'azur, a ses cheveux d'un blond si pur Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai à tant l'aimer Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai
Little Dutch Mill Composer(s): Harry Barris - Ralph Freed Performer(s): Bing Crosby and multiple other artists
Far across the sea in Holland In the land of wooden shoes There's a story nearly everyone knows
You may never be in Holland So I know you will excuse If here and now I tell you how it goes
There's a little Dutch mill On a little Dutch hill Where the little Dutch stars shine bright
Now a little Dutch boy And his little Dutch Girl Fell in love by the mill one night
Up above, the Dutch moon made the scene complete They both had so much moon, that it was a real Dutch treat
So the little Dutch boy and the little Dutch Girl Bought the little Dutch mill on the little Dutch hill And they've added a touch of a little Dutch family
Mais Quand Le Matin Composer(s): Eric Charden; Claude François; Giles Thibaut Originally performed by: Claude François Covered by: AS Dragon
Des arbres géants Couverts de fleurs de sang Rampent vers moi Je voudrais fuir mais je ne peux pas Je pousse un grand cri J'me réveille dans mon lit Mas mains tremblent Je n'y peux rien j'ai peur de la nuit
{Refrain:} Mais quand le matin Je vois le soleil le matin Aussitôt j'oublie Les angoisses de la nuit Mais quand le matin Je vois le ciel bleu le matin Je respire enfin Et la vie me revient Je vole dans le ciel Je suis bien, j'ai des ailes
Adieu la terre Mes années claires Je tombe comme une pierre Je me lève d'un bond Quelqu'un frappe au plafond J'ai dû crier Je n'y peux rien j'ai peur de la nuit
{au Refrain}
Je me sens si seul J'ai besoin de quelqu'un Je l'appelle Où est la fille qui manque à mes nuits Le lui tends les mains Je lui offre ma vie Je suis trop seul Je n'y peux rien j'ai peur de la nuit
