The Prayer ((Italian Version: The Prayer (Andrea Bocelli) - 1998)) Composer(s): Carole Bayer Sager - David Foster First release by: Celine Dion & Andrea Bocelli - 1998 Covered by multiple other artists
I pray you'll be our eyes And watch us where we go And help us to be wise In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer As we go our way Lead us to a place Guide us with your Grace To a place where we'll be safe
La luce che to dai I pray we'll find your light Nel cuore resterò And hold it in our hearts A ricordarchi che When stars go out each night L'eterna stella sei Nella mia preghiera Let this be our prayer Quanta fede c'è When shadows fill our day Lead us to a place Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino Simbolo di pace e di fraternità
La forza che ci dai We ask that life be kind E'il desiderio che And watch us from above Ognuno trovi amore We hope each soul will find Intorno e dentro a sé Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer Just like every child Just like every child
Needs to find a place Guide us with your grace Give us faith so we'll be safe E la fede che Hai acceso in noi Sento che ci salverà

Cinq Filles À Marier
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Pierre Roche
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Maître Jacques le notaire Maître Jacques le notaire A cinq filles à marier A cinq filles à marier La première est très austère Elle doit avoir quarante ans C'est l'image de sa mère Elle mène tout tambour battant C'est dommage mais qu'importe Et que diable l'emporte
Maître Jacques le notaire Maître Jacques le notaire A cinq filles à marier A cinq filles à marier La seconde sans aucun doute Ne manque pas de qualités Mais toujours elle vous déroute Car elle a un oeil en biais C'est dommage mais qu'importe Et que diable l'emporte
Maître Jacques le notaire Maître Jacques le notaire A cinq filles à marier A cinq filles à marier La troisième comme son père A de la barbe au menton Le nez comme une pomme de terre Les pieds plats et le dos rond C'est dommage mais qu'importe Et que le diable l'emporte
Maître Jacques le notaire Maître Jacques le notaire A cinq filles à marier A cinq filles à marier La quatrième est sauvage Bien que jolie comme un coeur Elle fuit à mon passage À croire que je lui fais peur C'est dommage mais qu'importe Et que le diable l'emporte
Maître Jacques le notaire Maître Jacques le notaire A cinq filles à marier A cinq filles à marier J'ai épousé la dernière Qui ressemble à une fée Mais elle est pas trop légère Elle ne pense qu'à me tromper C'est dommage mais qu'importe Et que le diable l'emporte
La morale de cette histoire Est fort simple à deviner N'allez pas chez le notaire Pour vouloir vous marier Et consulter père et mère Avant de vous déclarer C'est dommage mais tant pis Car la vie est faite ainsi
Remember, Remember The Fifth Of November (Traditional)
Remember, remember the fifth of November Gunpowder, treason and plot I see no reason why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent To blow up the King and the Parliament Three score barrels of powder below Poor old England to overthrow By God's providence he was catched With a dark lantern and burning match Holloa boys, holloa boys God save the King! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!
A penny loaf to feed ol' Pope A farthing cheese to choke him A pint of beer to rinse it down A faggot of sticks to burn him Burn him in a tub of tar Burn him like a blazing star Burn his body from his head Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!
The Power Of Gold Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
The story is told of the Power of gold And its lure on the unsuspecting It glitters and shines It badgers and blinds And constantly needs protecting Balance the cost of the soul you lost With the dreams you lightly sold Are you under The power of gold? The letters and calls Got you climbing the walls And everyone wants a favor They beg to remind you Of times left behind you But you know the past is a loser The face you're wearing is different now And the days run hot and cold Are you under The power of gold? You're a creature of habit Run like a rabbit Scared of a fear you can't name Your own paranoia Is looming before you But nobody thinks that It's a game Balance the cost of the soul you lost With the dreams you lightly sold Then tell me That you're free Of the power of gold The women are lovely The wine is superb But there's something about the song That disturbs you...
Cinnamon Sinner
Composer(s): Lincoln Chase
Performer(s): Tony Bennett
and multiple other artists
She's got sugar-dipped kisses and cherry-tipped charms And I melt like butter in her honey-filled arms Lemonade teardrops fall from her eyes But she's a cinnamon sinner tellin' lollipop lies
She's got sugar creme candy sprinkled with lime Her hot-oven lovin' is cookin' all the time She's a cake-bakin' baby and I love her pies But she's a cinnamon sinner tellin' lollipop lies
Who's gonna buy her lies today? Who's gonna be unwise today? Who's gonna need some sympathy? Who, who, who but a fool like me?
For she's a marshmallow mama with a jellyroll heart She's a sweet-tooth pleaser who can really play her part But I think she's Satan's sister wearin' a disguise Of a cinnamon sinner tellin' lollipop lies
For she's my marshmallow mama with a jellyroll heart She's a sweet-tooth pleaser who can really play her part But I think she's Satan's sister wearin' a disguise Of a cinnamon sinner tellin' lollipop lies
Remember You're Mine Composer(s): Bernie Lowe; Kal Mann Performer(s): Pat Boone; Susan McCann
(Remember, remember you're mine)
Be faithful, darlin' While you're away For when it's summer A heart can stray And though I'll miss you Have a wonderful time But remember, darlin' Remember you're mine (remember you're mine)
If you go dancin' And he holds you tight (and he holds you tight) And lips are tempting On a summer night (on a summer night) Your heart beats faster When the stars start to shine Just remember, darlin' Remember you're mine (remember you're mine)
I'll be lonely, I'll be blue But I promise I'll be true
And though I'll miss you Have a wonderful time Just remember, darlin' Remember you're mine (Remember you're mine)
Poor People Of Paris ((Adapted from: La Goualante Du Pauvre Jean (Edith Piaf) - 1955)) ((Danish Version: Stakkels John (Grethe & Jørgen Ingmann) - 1957)) Composer(s): Marguerite Monnot - René Rouzaud - Jack Lawrence Performer(s): Les Baxter - 1956 and multiple other artists
Just got back from Paris, France All they do is sing and dance All they've got there is romance What a tragedy Every boulevard has lovers Every lover's in a trance The poor people of Paree
I feel sorry for the French Every guy has got a wench Every couple's got a bench Kissing shamelessly Night and day they're making music While they're making love in French The poor people of Paree
Milk or water from the sink Make a true Parisian shrink Wine is all he'll ever drink And it worries me For with wine as cheap as water Oh, it makes one stop and think The poor people of Paree
Sister met a boy named Pierre Had the craziest affair And the day they parted there He cried bitterly Pierre was there to bid her farewell But he brought his new girl, Claire The poor people of Paree
So don't go to Paris, France Not unless you like to dance Not unless you want romance Like those poor inhabitants of Paree

I wanna live with a cinnamon girl I could be happy the rest of my life With a cinnamon girl

Remember You're A Womble Composer(s): Mike Batt Performer(s): The Wombles
When the sun doesn't shine and it's cloudy and gray And it's only the beginning of the wombling day And you've got to do the washing up for Madame Cholet
The Policemen's Ball Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Mary McCarty; Irving Berlin
Tickets for one and all For the Policemen's Ball
Fifty cents for a gent and his bundle Will admit you to the Policemen's Ball Fifty cents and you're all set to trundle Arm in arm and dance all around the hall
Dancin' 'round, gettin' hot 'neath the collar If it starts to wilt from the lack of starch There'll be six you can buy for a dollar And you'll have a spare for the big Grand March
All evening they'll be tripping the light fantastic Watch their suspenders stretching the old elastic
Each dress'd up in a suit made of cotton Patent leather shoes that are much too small But who cares? That'll soon be forgotten Dancing at the Policemen's Ball
Cinnamon And Clove
Composer(s): Marilyn Bergman - Alan Bergman - Johnny Mandel
First release by: Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
The moonlight warms the silver sand A seabird sails across a cove The water's crystal in your hand The air is Cinnamon and Clove
The tempo's easy as you please From ev'ry lemon yellow morning Through velvet ev'ning With breezes singing The air is Cinnamon and Clove The air is Cinnamon and Clove Seductive Cinnamon and Clove
So come to my arms I long for your kiss The taste of the sea Salty sweet upon your lips
There's love to be made On nights such as this And time is but sand Sifting through our fingertips
The moon is like a tangerine Adrift upon a sea of lights A world where nothing comes between These salty days and sultry nights
Where ev'ry slice of life and love Has just the perfect combination A cup of sweetness A pinch of sadness A touch of Cinnamon and Clove The air is Cinnamon and Clove Seductive Cinnamon and Clove A Touch Of Cinnamon and Clove

(dah-doot-doo-doo) I first met you (dah-doot-doo-doo) My lips were so afraid to say "I love you" Remember when (dah-doot-doo-doo), to my surprise (dah-doot-doo-doo) The heaven in my heart leaped into your eyes
Remember how much I cried Tears of joy to think you were mine Darling, down deep inside I still feel that feeling divine
I loved you then (dah-doot-doo-doo) and I still do (dah-doot-doo-doo) I can't remember when I didn't love you
Remember how much I cried Tears of joy to think you were mine Darling, down deep inside I still feel that feeling divine
I loved you then and I still do I can't remember when I didn't love you

Remember When Composer(s): Bert Kaempfert; Herbert Rehbein; Charlie Singleton; Eddie Snyder Performer(s): Bert Kaempfert
Pizza pies and carousels the fountains and the wishing wells Remember when we "romed" in Italy Switzerland, we loved it too Although we left there black and blue Remember when we tried to learn to ski Those two days in London town We yankee doodled all around Rubbed elbows there with all the royalties We still get such very laughs just looking at these photographs Remember when we made these memories Wasn't that some honeymoon I know I won't forget it soon Not if I live to be a hundred years Here's the one we snapped in Spain I can't remember was it rain Or were your eyes just filled with happy tears All good things must end it's true So back to USA we flew But who was happier than me and you To relive each wonderland We open up this album, and Remember when we made these memories Ah let's remember when we made these memories
Remember What I Told You To Forget Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Brian Potter Performer(s): Tavares; The Four Tops
Hello Baby I betcha never thought I would call Well my heart just went in with this dime And I only get three minutes time Hear me out now I wanna to make it as clear as I can There's so much that I want to explain And the final decision remains In you hands
Please remember what I told you to forget There's a man on the phone And he wants to come home To the woman he loves all alone
Baby remember what I told you to forget No I won't waste anytime when I hang up the line I'll be back in your arms Where I know I belong
One more minute Let me pour my heart out to you 'Cause I've kept it all locked up inside You just can't tell your own foolish pride what to do
So remember what I told you to forget No I wouldn't waste anytime when I hang up the line I'll be back in your arms Where I know I belong
If it isn't already too late Let me give you a reason to wait For the life that I'm begging to live Will depend on the answer you give
Please remember what I told you to forget There's a man on the phone And he wants to come home To the woman he loves all alone
Baby remember what I told you to forget No I won't waste anytime when I hang up the phone I'll be back in your arms I'll be back in your arms I'll be back in your arms...
The Poacher Composer(s): Ronnie Lane Performer(s): Ronnie Lane and multiple other artists
Was fresh and bright and early I went towards the river But nothing still has altered just the seasons ring a change There stood this old timer For all the world's first poacher His mind upon his tackle And these words upon his mind
Bring me fish with eyes of jewels And mirrors on their bodies Bring them strong and bring them bigger Than a newborn child
Well I've no use for riches And I've no use for power And I've no use for a broken heart I'll let this world go by
There stood this old timer For all the world's first poacher His mind upon his tackle And these words upon his mind
Bring me fish with eyes of jewels And mirrors on their bodies Bring them strong and bring them bigger Than a newborn child

I can't remember what happened last night Was there trouble or was there a fight I was out with what was her name What I did will I ever do again And if I did it then what did I do Would you let that happen to you I'll give this morning back to my bed I can't remember I might be dead Cupids arrow sliding through the sky See you tomorrow come around tonight I can't remember what your kiss is like I can't remember if you're black or white I wish I could, I wish I would remember what I can't remember what happened at all I found my suit all over the hall My telephones looking upside down Was there paint all over the town Is it sunny and is it July Does it matter and if so then why I'll give this morning back to my cot I can't remember if I've been shot I can't remember which body is mine Is it the left or is it the right Maybe I had an excess of drink What's this mess I find in the sink Ashtrays emptied all over my shoes Every time I this booze Can't find time for words on the phone I'll leave today to play on its own
