Je n'suis sans doute pas très vieux Mais je connais l'amour Quand une fille te rend malheureux Pleure pas tous les jours Si tu veux qu'elle te voie Et qu'elle s'attache à toi Si tu veux qu'elle ne soit Vraiment rien qu'à toi
Dis-lui que tu l'aimes à la folie Dis-lui que tu l'aimeras pour la vie Dis-lui, dis-lui, oh dis-lui, oui dis-le-lui
Je n'suis sans doute pas très vieux Mais je connais l'amour Si tu veux enfin être heureux Sors donc au grand jour N'attends pas demain Pour crier cet amour Prends-la par la main Sans plus de détour et

My Heart Is Like A Clock Composer(s): Smokey Robinson; Mary Wells Performer(s): Mary Wells
You broke my heart, and in that moment it stopped Just like a clock that has been dropped I thought that everything was fine And that our love was gonna last And yet we're running out of time Just like the sand in a glass Now every moment seems like an hour Every hour like a day ever since you went away
My heart is running down Just like a clock, it needs to be wound Before it stops And only your kiss can wind it up and make it get started Your kiss can wind it up and make it get started So come on & wind it up before I wind up broken-hearted
My heart is running down Just like a clock, it needs to be wound Before it stops And only your kiss can wind it up and make it get started Your kiss can wind it up and make it get started So come on & wind it up before I wind up broken-hearted
And make it get started, oh oh Don't wanna be broken-hearted, oh oh (Only your kiss can wind it up) ...
Goodnight Composer(s): Bill Dees; Roy Orbison Performer(s): Roy Orbison
My lovely woman child I found you out running wild with someone new You've been untrue And everybody knows we're through But I can't say good-bye to you No matter what you do My heart won't let you go
Although I know you go with someone new I think of you I think of how you kiss Your tenderness, with all of this I miss the way you say goodnight Bittersweet your kisses When my heart still misses The way that things used to be But I know you're strong for other arms you long for And you can never come back to me
Not just for yesterday Tonight or tomorrow Ah, but forever, I'll hear you say goodnight Goodnight, goodnight turned out to be a lie And I can't help it if I cry Goodnight, my love, sleep tight, my love, goodnight
Morgen ((Adapted from: Tell Her (Gil Hamilton) - 1962)) ((French Version: Dis-Lui (Claude François) - 1963)) Composer(s): Bert Russell - Suzy Baels - Robert Mellin Performer(s): Lisa Del Bo - 1996
Eén keer slaap ik nog alleen Dit wordt een lange nacht Ik wou dat het zonlicht al scheen Ik lig te woelen
Uren kruipen voorbij Ik vraag me af of jij Aan me denken zou k Hou zoveel van jou
Morgen zal ik aan je zijde lopen Morgen gaat de hemel voor me open Morgen, morgen Ja, morgen ben ik van jou
Eén keer slaap ik nog alleen En dan lig ik naast jou Eén keer daarna nooit meer alleen Het wordt een sprookje
Uren kruipen voorbij De tijd staat stil voor mij Jij spookt door mijn hoofd Door geluk verdoofd
Morgen zal ik aan je zijde lopen Morgen gaat de hemel voor me open Morgen, morgen Ja, morgen ben ik van jou
Ik zie een ring, een bruidsboeket Ik voel betovering met jou hier aan mijn zijde Ik wil jou beloven schat dat ik jou bekoren zal Jij bent de ware voor mij
Eén keer slaap ik nog alleen Ik slaap niet maar ik droom Over hoe het morgen zal zijn Als jij zal komen
Uren kruipen voorbij De tijd staat stil voor mij k Wil de jouwe zijn Reeds de jouwe zijn
Morgen zal ik aan je zijde lopen Morgen gaat de hemel voor me open Morgen, morgen Ja, morgen ben ik van jou Oh, ik wacht tot morgen
Morgen zal ik aan je zijde lopen Morgen gaat de hemel voor me open Morgen, morgen Ja, morgen ben ik van jou Ja, ik wacht tot morgen
Morgen zal ik aan je zijde lopen Morgen gaat de hemel voor me open Morgen, morgen Ja, morgen ben ik van jou
My Heart Is In Ireland Composer(s): Brian Warfield Performer(s): Wolfe Tones
In the East End of London, I met an old man He kept a bar called the Horses and Tram "My parents were Irish They loved that dear land" The Cockney, he smiled, then he shook my old hand
"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be Her hills and her valleys are calling to me Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland The land of the old folks is calling to me"
Near a coal mine in Wales, by a roadside cafe A young girl came smiling, and to me did say "Well, my folks are from Ireland. My Da', he hopes one day When he leaves the mines, sure we'll go back to stay"
"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be Her hills and her valleys are calling to me Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland The land of the old folks is calling to me" Then I went through the Midlands, through each city and town I found there were Irish in each place I roamed And I drank and I sang at a pub they call the Crown With the Birmingham irish, we sang songs of home
"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be Her hills and her valleys are calling to me Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland The land of the old folks is calling to me"
Then I went north to Scotland, to Glasgow on the Clyde I met with some young lads. They said, "Celtic's our side All our folks are from Ireland, the island of the green A country we love, but a place we've not seen"
"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be Her hills and her valleys are calling to me Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland The land of the old folks is calling to me"

Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom Him: Well, goodness gracious me

Her: Oh doctor, touch my fingers Him: Well, goodness gracious me Her: You may be very clever But however, can't you see My heart beats much too much At a certain tender touch It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom Him: I like it! Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom Him: Well, goodness gracious me
Him: Can I see your tongue? Her: Aaah Him: Nothing the matter with it, put it away please Her: Maybe it's my back Him: Maybe it is Her: Shall I lie down? Him: Yes Her: Ahhh...
Him: My initial diagnosis Rules out measles and thrombosis Sleeping sickness and, as far as I can tell Influenza, inflammation Whooping cough and night starvation And you'll be so glad to hear That both your eyeballs are so clear That I can positively swear that you are well Ja-ja, ja-ja-ja-ja
Her: Put two and two together Him: Four Her: If you have eyes to see The face that makes my pulses race Is right in front of me Him: Oh, there is nothing I can do For my heart is jumping too Both: Oh, we go boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom Her: Goodness gracious Him: How audacious! Her: Goodness gracious Him: How flirtatious! Her: Goodness gracious Him: It is me Her: It is you? Him: Ah, I'm sorry, it is us Both: Ahhh!
Tell Him ((Czech Version: Touí (Helena Vondrácková s Lucií Bílou) - 2005)) Composer(s): Walter Afanasieff - Linda Thompson - David Foster First release by: Barbra Streisand & Celine Dion - 1997
I'm scared So afraid to show I care Will he think me weak If I tremble when I speak Oooh - what if There's another one he's thinking of Maybe he's in love I'd feel like a fool Life can be so cruel I don't know what to do
I've been there With my heart out in my hand But what you must understand You can't let the chance To love him pass you by
Should I
Tell him Tell him that the sun and moon Rise in his eyes Reach out to him And whisper Tender words so soft and sweet Hold him close to feel his heart beat Love will be the gift you give yourself
Touch him With the gentleness you feel inside Your love can't be denied The truth will set you free You'll have what's mean to be All in time you'll see
I love him Of that much I can be sure I don't think I could endure If I let him walk away When I have so much to say
I'll
Love is light that surely glows In the hearts of those who know It's a steady flame that grows Feed the fire with all the passion you can show Tonight love will assume its place This memory time cannot erase Blind faith will lead love where it has to go
My Heart Is Empty Composer(s): Nico Performer(s): Nico
"My heart is empty But the songs I sing Are filled with love for you"
A man said that to me That's how I know
Sometimes love it does not show Sometimes it does not even know There is no witness to my anger When it stabs until he dies I am looking for the strangler To help me, help me with my crime
Show me the way to warning Warning for the morning light I will stab it with a knife The blinding sun The heartbeat for the time to come
The honesty That lies to you
My heart is empty But the songs I sing Are filled with love for you
Good For Nothin' Joe Composer(s): Ted Koehler; Rube Bloom Performer(s): Lena Horne; and various other artists
It's gonna rain any minute There's not a star in sight Things are mighty slow I guess I'll close up shop And go home to Joe I know he won't be glad to see me Without a penny to the good But I'm not carin' much what happens I did the best I could He's just good-for-nothin' Joe But, oh, I love him so! Guess I'd die if good-for-nothin' Joe Ever tried to leave me flat Oh, yes, I'm certain of that! Folks I know can't understand Why I must have that man Lord, he sends me like nobody can Ain't a woman just like that! I wouldn't mind doin' what I'm doin' I'd beat these streets till my feet were sore But when it's slow and I go home to him Instead of sympathy, he's just as mean as can be! Still, there's nothin' I can do Because I love him so I'd be good for nothin', too, I know Without good-for-nothin' Joe
I'd be good for nothin', too, I know Without good-for-nothin' Joe I'm goin' home to Joe
My Heart Is Dancing With You Composer(s): Flora Smith; Lewis Ilda; Jos. Geo. Gilbert Performer(s): Leslie A. Hutchinson
You live in my heart though were far apart Youre there whateer may betide Sometimes I may go with friends to a show But no friend our love can divide
Though Im dancing tonight with some other one My heart is dancing with you Though Im making believe Im having some fun My heart is dancing with you And when theyre playing our favourite song My thoughts are with you the whole night long Though Im dancing tonight with some other one My heart is dancing with you
And when theyre playing our favourite song My thoughts are with you the whole night long Though Im dancing tonight with some other one My heart is dancing with you
Brother Bertie went away To do his bit the other day With a smile on his lips and his Lieutenant's pips upon his shoulder bright and gay As the train moved out he said 'Remember me to all the birds' And he wagg'd his paw and went away to war Shouting out these pathetic words
Goodbye-ee, goodbye-ee Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee Tho' it's hard to part I know I'll be tickled to death to go Don't cry-ee, dont sigh-ee there's a silver lining in the sky-ee Bonsoir, old thing, cheer-i-o, chin, chin Nap-poo, toodle-oo Goodbye-ee

Tell her, tell her she's lovely
Tell her, she knows how to suffer

Goodbye Mary Dear (aka I'll Be There, Mary Dear) (aka Mary Dear) Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling; Harry Von Tilzer Performer(s): Charlie Poole; and various other artists
"Goodbye, Mary I must go" Said a lad, "Now don't grieve so For it's duty calls me far across the sea" "Take this autumn leaf of gold" Said the maid, "'Twill ne'er grow old Always wear it next to your heart and think of me"
"Meet me yonder down the lane When I come back home again 'Neath the tree where this golden leaf once grew Kiss me, Mary, then we'll part" Said the lad with a broken heart "When the leaves begin to fall, I'll be with you"
"I'll be there, Mary dear, I'll be there When the fragrance of the roses fills the air 'Neath that old tree grand and tall When the leaves begin to fall, I'll be there, yes, I'll be there, sweet Mary dear"
See the lad with empty sleeve Of his comrades taking leave They were home again, the transport had come back "If she loved you long ago, She won't love you less, I know But one arm will do to hold her to you, Jack"
It was autumn time again As he wandered down the lane There beneath that old oak tree he found a grave So he knelt in silent prayer For the one he loved slept there As the tears fell on the golden leaf she gave
"I'll be there, Mary dear, I'll be there When the fragrance of the roses fills the air 'Neath that old tree grand and tall When the leaves begin to fall I'll be there, yes, I'll be there, sweet Mary dear"

Tell Her No ((French Version: Dis-Lui Non (Frank Alamo) - 1965)) Composer(s): Rod Argent First release by: The Zombies - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists

My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Jack Keller Performer(s): Connie Francis and various other artists
I told this heart of mine our love could never be But then I hear your voice and somethin' stirs inside of me Somehow I can't resist the memory of your kiss Guess my heart has a mind of its own
No matter what I do, no matter what I say No matter how I try I just can't turn the other way When I'm with someone new I always think of you Guess my heart has a mind of its own
You're not in love with me so why can't I forget I'm just your "used-to-be", it's wrong, and yet
I know forgetting you would be a hopeless thing For I'm a puppet and I just can't seem to break the string I say "I'll let you go" but then my heart says "no" Guess my heart has a mind of its own
Good-Bye, Little Girl Of My Dreams Composer(s): Richard Howard; Fred Phillips
I wonder and wonder, if there'll come a day when the girl of my dreams will exist I wonder and wonder and hope that there may For only in dreams we kissed I see her fair face every night in my dreams it's as sweet as the roses that bloom But soon it is morn and then she is gone So I say as she fades with the moon
There's millions of girls in this beautiful world there's a girl for each boy so they say So I'll wait thro' the years 'till my dream girl appears For I know I shall meet her some day How happy I'd be at the break of the dawn Just to find her at rest in my arms Never more have to sigh Never more say goodbye To the girl of those wonderful charms
Goodbye little girl of my dreams Goodbye little girl of my dreams I'd like to feel That you are real For you are mine it seems Lovelight in your eyes brightly gleams You say just for me that it beams So I'll love only thee Tho' in dreams it may be Goodbye little girl of my dreams
