They Say It’s Wonderful
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



They say that falling love is wonderful
It’s wonderful, so they say
And with the moon up above, it’s wonderful
It’s wonderful, so they tell me
I can’t recall who said it
I know I’ve never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand, and
The thing that’s known as romance
Is wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say
To leave your house some morning
And without any warning, you’re stopping people
Shouting that love is grand, and
To hold a man in your arms is wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say

Count Your Blessings And Smile
Composer(s): George Formby; Harry Gifford; Fred E. Cliffe
Performer(s): George Formby



Though plans may often go wrong, let `em hear your voice
You'll find that rhythm and song make the world rejoice
Make life go with a swing, laugh at trouble and sing
Tra-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, count your blessings and smile

While you're playing your part, keep a song in your heart
Tra-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, count your blessings and smile

Sing low, sing high, isn't it grand, beating the band
Who wants to die, oh what a happy land, hi!
Show them what you can do, make a hullabaloo
Tra-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, count your blessings and smile

You got to get together, swing it around
Now get together, swing it around
Make life go with a swing and a smile
Laugh at trouble and sing all the while
Now count your blessings and smile

While you're playing your own little part
You've gotta keep a song in your heart
Black puddings and tripe and trotters
Count your blessings and smile

Sing low, sing high, isn't it grand, beating the band
Who-who-who who wants to die, oh what a happy, happy land
Show them what you can do, make a hullabaloo
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, ha-ha–ha–ha
Count your blessings, one–two–three
Count your blessings, four–five–six
Count your blessings and smile

Show then what you can do, make a hullabaloo
Haw-haw-haw-haw, ha-ha-ha-ha
Count your blessings and smile

J'Ai Des Goûts Simples
Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



J'ai des goûts simples 
J'aime que le meilleur
Mais moi, j'ai pas l'profil du vainqueur
Mêm'dopé, j'suis pas près d'arriver
T'es au dessert, j'commence mon entrée
Comme un caddy d'grand' surface
Quand j'sers plus, tu m'laisses sur place
J'suis comm' un objet trouvé
Que t'oublies de réclamer
J'ai des goûts simples
J'aime que le meilleur
Faut toujours être au d'là d'la hauteur
J'aime l'argent, son parfum, son odeur
Même si j'en vois rarement la couleur
Comm' un produit de grand' surface
Périmé, je perds ma place
J'suis offert, parachuté
Aux pays sous développés

{Refrain:}
Faut m'donner.....
D'quoi rêver.........
J'suis pas un légume surgelé et assisté
Oui
Faut m' donner....
De quoi rêver......
J'ai l' droit à ma part de bonheur
J'ai des goûts simples
J'aime que le meilleur

M'essayer
Veut pas dire, m' adopter
J'ai des goûts simples, mais faut qu' y ait du charme
Tête de gondole, mais pas dans l' bas d' gamme
J'suis prêt à tout, même à défiler
Grand couturier, pas l' "prêt à porter"
L' marché est surestimé
Les Favoris surcôtés
Faut investir dans l' looser
Ça peut prendre de la valeur

{au Refrain}

They Say It's Spring
Composer(s): Bob Haymes - Marty Clark
Performer(s): Blossom Dearie
and multiple other artists



When I was young I lived in a world of dreams
Of moods and myths and illusionary schemes
Though now I'm much more grown up
I fear that I must own up
To the fact that I'm in doubt of
What the modern cynics shout of

They say it's spring
This feeling light as a feather
They say this thing
This magic we share together
Came with the weather too

They say it's May
That's made me daft as a daisy
It's May, they say
That gave the whole world this crazy
Heavenly, hazy hue

I'm a lark
On the wing
I'm the spark of a firefly's fling

Yet to me
This must be
Something more than a seasonal thing

They say it's spring
Those bells that I can hear ringing
It may be spring
But when the robins stop singing
You're what I'm clinging to
Though they say it's spring
It's you

If poets sing
That when a heart sympathetic
It's merely spring
Then poets plights are pathetic
Though I'm poetic too

They say it's spring
For lovers, there's where the lure is
That evil thing
For which September the cure is
This, they are sure is true

Though I know
That it's so
That my fancy may turn in the spring

With the right
One in sight
One can find a perpetual thing

Did I need spring
To bring the ring that you bought me
Though it was spring
That wondrous day that you caught me

Darling I thought we knew
That it wasn't spring
'Twas you 

Count Your Blessings (Instead Of Sheep)
Danish Title: Tæl Hver En Glæde - 1955
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
First performance: Bing Crosby - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists



When I'm worried and I can't sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep
And I fall asleep counting my blessings
When my bankroll is getting small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep counting my blessings

I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings

I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings

J'Ai Décidé De Vivre
Composer(s): Michel Laurent
Performer(s): Dalida



Après un long silence
Entre le vide et moi
Après m'être noyée
Dans une vie sans but
Vivre dans mes rêves
Ne me suffisait pas
Et j'ai prié le ciel
Et il m'a entendu

J'ai décidé de vivre et je remercie Dieu
J'ai décidé de vivre et je remercie Dieu

En une seule seconde
Dans le fond de mon cœur
Le soleil a jailli
Eclatant de chaleur
Et j'ai fermé les yeux
Sur ton seul regard
Car c'est dans ton amour
Que j'ai trouvé l'espoir

J'ai décidé de vivre et je remercie Dieu
J'ai décidé de vivre et je remercie Dieu

En gravant dans ma mémoire
Mes souvenirs du passé
Je veux décider de croire
Que tout peut recommencer

J'ai décidé de vivre et je remercie Dieu
J'ai décidé de vivre et je remercie Dieu

They Say
Composer(s): Edward Heyman - Paul Mann - Stephen Weiss
Performer(s): Sammy Kaye & His Orch.
and multiple other artists



They say you have no lips for a fool such as I
They say you just believe in hello and goodbye
And they say that the one I admire
Isn't even remotely concerned
And that I'll go on playing with fire
Until I have learned my heart has been burned

They say I shouldn't dream of your face in the moon
They say all of my dreams will be nightmares too soon
Let them talk, let them think what they want to
If it makes them feel happy that way
I know I'll always love you
No matter what they say

Count Your Blessings
Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford; Valerie Simpson
Performer(s): Ashford & Simpson



I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings
I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings

You can’t say I love you
Too many times, oh...
Simple things mean so much
Like when was the last touch, when was the last kiss
When did you hold ‘em like this

I almost lost the one I love
Searchin’ ‘round for something new
Before you make the same mistake
Oh, let me pass this on to you

I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count my blessings
I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings

Though they don’t complain
Doesn’t mean that there’s no pain
To forget is the worst
So always put them first, thinkin’ of their needs
Make them the one you please

I almost lost the one I love
Searching ‘round for something new
Before you make the same mistake
Let me pass this on to you

If you don’t see eye to eye
Come close to sayin’ goodbye
Think how far you’ve come
The victories you’ve won

What’s kept you through the years
Was to dry each other’s tears
Memories you recall
Let’s you know you have it all {Woo}

I almost lost the one I love
Searchin’ ‘round for something new
Before you make the same mistake
Ooh, let me pass this on to you

I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings
I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget, ooh...

I had to learn, learn a lesson {Yes, I did}
Never forget to count your blessings {Woo}
I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings

I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings
I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings

I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings
I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings

I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings

J'Ai De La Veine
Composer(s): Max François; Jimmy Davis
Performer(s): Yves Montand



J’ai de la veine
Bien malgré moi
C’est une aubaine
Touchons du bois!
Ceux que ça gêne
N’ont qu’à penser
Tout bas 
Bah! Ça ne dure pas
Ça!
Pourtant la chance
Qui m’a souri
Je l’sais d ’avance
Est infinie…
Quelle insolence!
Mais quel bonheur aussi!
Oui, je suis un verni

Dans la vie
Je vais
Toujours content
Quell’ que soit la route vers le printemps
Je vais
Loin des soucis…
Car ils s’enfuient quand je ris

J’ai de la veine
Depuis toujours
J’ai de la veine
Même en amour 
Puisque je l’aime
Et puisqu’elle m’aime aussi!
Oui, je suis un verni
Dans la vie !…

They Held Me Down
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein



"This next song is dedicated to all the cop-outs in the world
My friends mostly... including me"

It was Sat night at the slammer
The gavel was falling like a hammer
As they dragged in every freak
From off the road
One by one they entered the cell
And the stories that they had to tell
Were all different 
But all seemed to end on the very same note

"They held me down and they put it on my nose
They even sprinkled a little bit on my clothes
Yeah… I know what you're thinkin
But I ain't one of those
No… they held me down and put it in my nose"

This wino in the corner got up and shook himself out...
He said
"Well they held me down and poured it down my throat
That's what they did
They even planted the bottle in my coat
Anybody want some?
Yeah… the reason why my pants so wet 
Is they pushed me off the boat
After they held me down and poured it down my throat"

And this chick in the next cell…
She said
"I heard you guys talking
And let me tell you something…
He held me down and he put it you know where
Ohhhh... I told him I was a virgin
But he didn't care
Noooo... the pig!
Ahhhh... you see his wallet's in my purse
What's it doing there?
He held me down and put it you know where"

And then this cat got up
Well... he half got up
He lifted his head and 
He said
"Hey, man... they held me down and they put it in my vein
They even held a pistol to my brain
Or I wouldn'ta done it
Ohhh... these scars on my arms are where I crashed through the window pane...
Tryin' to get awaaaaaaaaay
When they held me down and put it in my vein"

And then this cat.. a rollie-eyed cat in a raincoat, and shoes 
And the bottom of his pants were cut off at the knees
He said
"She held me down and put it in my face
Oh, the disgrace
And that's the fact on which I'm gonna base my case
She was overweight and underage
And we was at my place
But she held me down and put it in my face"

They held me down and made me write this song...

Count Your Blessings
Composer(s): Richard Morgan; Edith Temple
Performer(s): Aled Jones
and multiple other artists



Count your blessings one by one
When dawn appears and day has just begun
They will light your heart with happiness
Make each hour bright and bring you gladness
Count your blessings one by one
When twilight falls and toil of day is done
And in sweet dreams they'll come again to you
If you will count your blessings each day through
Count your blessings while you may
For we are here but little time to stay
All around are hearts sincere and true
Lovely things abound just waiting for you
Count your blessings while you may
The big or small, whichever comes your way
For then you'll find this world a place of love
If you will count your blessings from above

J'Ai Dansé Avec L'Amour
Composer(s): Edith Piaf; Marguerite Monnot
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



{Refrain:}
J'ai dansé avec l'amour
J'ai fait des tours et des tours
Ce fut un soir merveilleux
Je ne voyais que ses yeux si bleus
Ses cheveux couleur de blond
Lui et moi, que c'était bon
L'amour avait dans ses yeux
Tant d'amour, tant d'amour
Tant d'amour, d'amour

Lui et moi contre lui
Au-dessus la nuit
Tournent dans le bruit
Moi, n'osant pas parler
Le corps bousculé
J'étais admirée
Lui, la musique et lui
Partout l'amour, partout la fièvre
Et nos corps frissonnants
Moi, la musique et moi
Partout ses yeux, partout ses lèvres
Et puis mon cœur hurlant

{Refrain}

They Grow Up
Performer(s): Dave Smalley



I remember that night she was born
I was a young man myself
When the doctor said it's a little girl
I felt my heart melt
An old man in the waiting room
He looked up at me and smiled
He said son remember
they're only with you for awhile

They grow up they grow so fast
By the time you figure it out
the moment has passed

I remember that high school prom
Pretty ribbons of blue
I said angel don't stay out too late
She said Daddy I love you
When a young man came to pick her up
I saw her face light up and smile
I remembered that same smile
when she was just a child

They grow up they grow so fast
By the time you figure it out
the moment has passed

That little girl she's finished college
Got a life of her own
When I think of the life we've shared
I'm never alone
And there's something that I need to tell her
And I know she'll understand
That I'll always love her
and I'd do it all again

They grow up they grow so fast
By the time you figure it out
the moment has passed

They grow up that's the way it should be
You just open your heart
and you save those memories
You just open your heart
and you save those memories
You save those memories yeah

Count On Me
Composer(s): J. Barish
Performer(s): Marty Balin



Precious love
I'll give it to you
Blue as the sky and deep in the
Eyes of a love so true
You make me feel light on the stairs and lost in the
Air of a love so real

And you can count on me girl
You can count on my love
Woman
You can count on me baby
You can count on my love to see
You through

Emerald eyes and china perfume
Caught in the wheel and lost in
The feel of a love so soon
Ruby lips
You make my song
Into the night and saved by the light
Of a love so strong

You can count on me girl
You can count on my love

J'Ai Crié À La Nuit
Composer(s): Chris Long; Johnny Hallyday
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Ils sont plus de cinquante autour de moi
Je me sens comme perdu dans un désert
Sur leur échiquier je glisse comme un pion
Alors que je croyais en être le roi

Quand j'ai besoin d'un peu d'amitié
Les visages se tournent et s'effacent
Lorsque je réclame un peu de gaieté
Sous leurs sourires je sens de l'intérêt

Quelques fois j'ai envie
De crier à la nuit
Emmène-moi
Emmène-moi

Petit fille tu veux vieillir avec moi
Réfléchi, voudrais-tu être le miroir
Où l'on pourrait voir nos visages
Se froisser un peu plus chaque soir

Lorsque plus tard mon nom sera oublié
Viendras-tu comme avant pour me parler
Désolé petite fille, je vivrai seul
Je préfère vivre vite et mourir jeune

Quelques fois j'ai envie
De crier à la nuit
Emmène moi
Emmène moi...

They Go Wild, Simply Wild Over Me
Composer(s): Fred Fisher - Joseph McCarthy



They go wild, simply wild over me
They go mad, just as mad as they can be
No matter where I'm at
All the ladies thin or fat
The tall ones, the small ones
I grab 'em off like that

Ev'ry night how they fight over me
I don't know what it is that they can see
The ladies look at me and sigh
In my arms they want to die
They go wild, simply wild over me
They go wild, simply wild over me

Count Me Out
Composer(s): Jack Pruett
Performer(s): Marty Robbins



Takin' me for granted was your first mistake
And that was the beginnin' of a last heartache
And then you added insult to my injury
When you started treatin' me just as you please

Count me out of future plans you might be makin'
No more foolish chances am I takin'
You played love's game too rough
As for me, I've had enough
'Cause the goin's got too rough, so count me out

Things I thought important never bothered you
You kept on till you killed all my love for you
Doin' as you pleased became a part of you
You can't blame me now for walkin' out on you

Count me out of future plans you might be makin'
No more foolish chances am I takin'
You played love's game too rough
As for me, I've had enough
'Cause the goin's got too rough, so count me out

J'Ai Craqué
Composer(s): Alain Goraguer; Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Entre les fauteuils du 15, rue de Bretagne
Et les rocking-chairs de la maison de campagne
On balançait
Notre vie douillette, sans surprise et sans un
Pain quotidien de nos dix ans de bonheur
Au bonheur près j'étais bien protégé
Dans le film à tiroir de ma vie bien rangée
Avec les samedi soir pour changer
Pour changer de quoi toi et moi
Moi et toi, femme et mère à la fois

J'ai craqué, j'ai craqué

J'attendais ta fête pour t'apporter des fleurs
Je ne chantais plus, j'avais des pantoufles au cœur
Je m'endormais
Tu savais quand je disais: "Devine où on part?"
Tu riais avant que j'ai fini mes histoires
Et même après tu m'avais tellement dit
Que je n'étais qu'un gosse, un gamin
Étourdi, que je m'imaginais tout petit
Et puis d'un seul coup j'ai grandi
Et j'ai coupé le fil du passé

J'ai craqué, j'ai craqué

Je ne sais pas où mais je m'en vais droit devant
Meme si l'allumette n'a craqué que le temps
D'une étincelle
Je m'en contrefous si ça permet de rêver
De faire un détour loin des chemins programmés
Toujours pareils et le vent de folie
Qui fait tourner si fort le moulin de ma vie
Qu'importe s'il s'arrête aujourd'hui
Puisque celle qui lui a dit de souffler
Reste et me donne envie de craquer

J'ai craqué, j'ai craqué ...

They Fell
((French Version: Ils Sont Tombés (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz - Herbert Kretzmer
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



They fell that year
They vanished from the Earth
Never knowing the code
Or what law they'd offended
The women fell at work
And the babies they tended
Left to die, left to cry
All condemned by their birth

They fell like rain
Across the thirsty land
In their hearts they were clean
In their dust still believing
All the obedient things
In a season of grieving
Caught in rain, always rain
Just for one helping hand

For no one heard their prayers
In a world bent on pleasure
From other people scared
They simply closed their eyes
They craved a lot of sound
In jazz and ragtime measured
The trumpets screamed till dawn
To drown the childrens' cries

They fell like leaves
Its people in its pride
People, men, kindly men
And not one knew his crime
If he came in an hour
Like a small desert flower
Still covered by the silent wind
In sands of time

They fell that year
Before they could grow 
They had little to give
But their lives and their passion
And their longing to live
In their way, in their fashion
So their harvest could thrive
And their children could grow

They fell like flies
Their eyes still full of sun
Like a dog each flies
In the path of a rifle
That holds on with its might
And each death, though a trifle
And to bring to an end
A life barely begun

And I am of that Race
Who died in unknown places
Who perished in their pride
Whose blood in rivers ran
In agony and pride
With courage on their faces
They went into the night
That waits for every man

They fell like tears
And never knew what for
In that summer of pride
Of massacre and war
Their only crime was life
They only give towards being
The children of Armenia
Nothing less, nothing more

Count Me Out
Composer(s): Gary Brooker; I. Sutherland
Performer(s): Gary Brooker



When it's time for me to go 
and I hear that whistle blow 
I'll be waiting in line day or night 
Take my hand and lead me down 
Lay my burden on the ground 
Break these chains and let me stand in the light 
Now I know what the game's all about 
If that's the way you want to play - count me out 

Had enough of alibis, empty promises and lies 
Trying to find a better life on my own 
There's no easy way I know - now the strains begin to show 
Still I'm looking for a light to lead me home 
Though my heart's still full of doubt
There's no way I'm gonna play - so count me out 

I've been too long here breaking my back 
Doing my best to get through 
I never thought I could feel this way 
But I need to find something new 
It's not the money and it's not the gold 
I just want some peace of mind 
My life is racing like a runaway train 
Getting faster all the time... 

Underneath a golden sky 
Far away I'm gonna fly 
To a place I know is there in my mind 
Like a sailor home to die 
With no journey left to try 
Throw my spirit in the tide and lead me blind 
Now I know what this game's all about 
If that's the way you wanna play 
Then count me out
