Time For Livin' Composer(s): Don Addrisi - Dick Addrisi Performer(s): The Association
I kicked off my shoes and felt the good earth under my feet I loosened my tie and saw what it feels like to breathe I found the secret to life I took some time for livin'
I took off my watch and found I had all the time in the world I opened my arms so I could hold life like a beautiful girl I laid down all of my hangups forever Hey look, I've changed My attitude's been rearranged From now on I'm taking some
Time for livin', groovin' on everything Life is givin', from now on I'm taking Time... For life
Too busy to stop and notice the things that are real Embarassed to talk about all the things that I feel It's so strange never noticed the world all around me Hey look, I've changed My attitude's been rearranged From now on I'm taking some
Time for livin', groovin' on everything Life is givin', from now on I'm taking Time... For life
I Beg Of You
Composer(s): Rose Marie McCoy; Kelly Owens

Covered by multiple other artists
I don't want my heart to be broken
'Cause it's the only one I've got
So darling please be careful
You know I care a lot
Darling please don't break my heart
I beg of you
I don't want no tears a-falling
You know I hate to cry
But that's what's bound to happen
I you only say goodbye
Darling please don't say goodbye
I beg of you
Hold my hand and promise
That you'll always love me true
Make me know you'll love me
The same way I love you little girl
You got me at your mercy
Now that I'm in love with you
So please don't take advantage
'Cause you know my love is true
Darling please please love me too
I beg of you
Hold my hand and promise
That you'll always love me true
Make me know you'll love me
The same way I love you little girl
You got me at your mercy
Now that I'm in love with you
So please don't take advantage
'Cause you know my love is true
Darling please please love me too
I beg of you
Je saurai être ton amie Si tu veux me parler au milieu de la nuit Si tu veux raconter si tu as des ennuis Me parler de ta vie
Tu sais je sais être une amie Et je les reconnais tous ceux qui m'ont trahie Quand plus rien n'était simple au détour de ma vie En plein cur de la nuit
Tu sais le moment vient où il faut être là On a vraiment besoin De quelqu'un près de soi Et si tu veux de moi
Je saurai être ton amie Et je saurai comprendre tes silences à demi Si tu sais m'accepter et si tu te confies Je saurai t'écouter, tu sauras que je suis ton amie
Je saurai être ton amie Et t'écouter cent fois recommencer ta vie Te redonner encore et encore mon avis Que tu n'écouteras pas et de faire des paris Que je saurai perdus
Time, don't run out on me Gotta make you love me the way you used to do Gotta get back the feeling and put wind in my sails And chart a course that gets me back to you, back to you
Oh, the lonely days, the lonely nights lookin' back in time Time, don't run out on me I've gotta get back to where we used to be (where we used to be) Time, don't run out on me, don't run out on me
There's one more thing I gotta do before I pack it in Gotta make the right moves, say the right thing to change your mind And find a way to get you back again, back again
All the wasted time, the lonely nights lookin' back in time Time, don't run out on me I've gotta get back to where we used to be (where we used to be) Time, don't run out on me
Once I could catch your eye across the room And know just what you were thinkin' And when I held you in my arms, we'd dream as one But those days are gone, somethin' went wrong And when I wake up to the mornin' sun I find myself sayin'
Time, don't run out on me, don't run out on me, don't run out on me Time, don't run out on me Time, don't run out on me I've gotta get back to where we used to be (where we used to be) Time, don't run out on me (time don't run out on me) (Time, don't run out on me) (Time, don't run out on me) (Time, don't run out on me)...

Beep-beep-beep-beepy-beep-beep-bee-bee
Slow down, honey Be cool It looks like youll never learn how to bop Youre nothing but a square! All you do is beep-beep-beep Youre a bring-down and Im cutting out Goodbye!
There she goes!
My life was all sunshine and roses
With the gal, I was right at the top Well, we get along swell till she suddenly fell for The music thats known as bop Oh, I tried to be so hep for her sake Till one day I made my fatal mistake
I beeped when I should have bopped Lapped when I should have lopped I was walking on air till she called me a square Cause I beeped when I should have bopped I dipped when I should have flipped I tripped when I should have hipped My romancing was fine till I got out of line Cause I beeped when I should have bopped
Oh-ya-coo, coo-ya-oo, oo-ba-doo, shmoo-ba-poo It all sounds the same to me Bla-de-da, da-de-bla, diddly-da, schmiddly-pa Is it something thats served with tea?
Hiccups!
I beeped when I should have bopped I heaped when I should have hopped I was giving my all to my bum of the ball And now Im blowing my top Cause I beeped when I should have bopped
Oh-ya-coo, coo-ya-oo, oo-ba-doo, schmoo-ba-poo
It all sounds the same to me
Bla-de-da, da-de-bla, diddly-da, schmiddly-pa Is it something thats served with tea?
I beeped when I should have bopped I heaped when I should have hopped I was giving my all to the bum of the ball And now Im blowing my top Cause I beeped
Je Sais Très Bien Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; L. Marichal Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Je sais très bien que tu ne veux plus de moi Mais malgré ça et aussi malgré moi Je ne puis cesser de penser à toi Bien que tu ne le mérites pas
Je sais très bien notre amour est perdu Même le souvenir chez toi n'y est plus Nuit et jour je crois entendre ta voix Mais ta pitié ne parle pas.
Je t'en prie souviens toi toujours de moi Des merveilleux moments passés autrefois Où nous étions des amoureux bienheureux Car l'amour était pour nous deux
Je sais très bien que tu ne veux plus de moi Mais malgré tout et aussi malgré moi J'espère un jour que tu me comprendras Et qu'alors tu me reviendras.
Mais je sais bien que tu ne veux plus de moi Malgré moi, malgré toi Mais je sais très bien Que tu ne veux plus de moi
Time Between Composer(s): Chris Hillman Performer(s): The Byrds and multiple other artists
Don't say you love me Don't say you care You're so far away Telephone communication Only a three minute elation When I hear your voice
Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine The only pain I feel is al this time between You and me, you and me
All the days have turned to years Only emphasize my fears Since you said goodbye I can hear your voice at night I can read the words you write It's only love
Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine The only pain I feel is al this time between You and me, you and me
Now don't say you love me Don't say you care You're so far away I can hear your voice at night I can read the words you write It's only love
Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine The only pain I feel is al this time between You and me, you and me
Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine The only pain I feel is al this time between You and me, you and me

Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline That's the troublingest woo-hoo (woman?), that I ever seen

Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home? Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home? You know I love you baby, but you've been gone too long
Je Sais Que Tu Ne Peux Pas Trouver Mieux Ailleurs Composer(s): B. Killen; R. Riely Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Seul parmi la foule au milieu du quai C'est le dernier regard avant le premier regret Il s'éloigne doucement le train du soir Toi tu pars vers le soleil et l'avenir est noir
Va-t-en plus loin Je sais que tu ne peux pas trouver mieux ailleurs
Sous les néons rouges les bouges où l'ennui passe Des filles aux corps qui bougent m'ont fait l'amour dans une impasse Dans une bar j'ai vu ton visage tout au fond de mon verre J'ai cherché des coups au barman j'ai peur de tout si je te perds
Ouais, tu vas trop loin Je sais que tu ne peux pas trouver mieux ailleurs
Je vois les murs le plafond tanguer comme un bateau Allongé sur mon lit je défie ta photo Ma main dans la fumée s'agrippe au téléphone Je décroche comme un fou c'est le réveil qui sonne
Ouais, reviens Ouais, reviens Je sais que tu ne peux pas trouver mieux ailleurs
Je sais que tu ne peux pas trouver mieux ailleurs
Hum ouais Je sais que tu ne peux pas trouver mieux ailleurs...
Time And Time Again ((Swedish Version: Många Gånger Än (Agnetha Fältskog)) Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog - Peter Himmelstrand - Bengt Palmers Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
We'll find our own little places Time and time again Sleep together in the evenings Time and time again Wake up together, argue sometimes Make up and love each other Travel away and miss each other Time and time again
We'll be sad together And laugh at the same little jokes And always have someone to talk to And we'll sit idly in front of the TV And have a glass of red wine And then be so relaxed and tired, mmm...
We'll fly away on vacation Time and time again Have leftovers for dinner Time and time again Pinch our pennies, waste them sometimes Sing a brand new song Be excited about what will happen Time and time again
We'll have happy times When the world is open and light And times when dreams are shattered And we'll have thousands of little memories That we'll tenderly recall And forget all the sad ones the way people do
We'll find our own favorite places Time and time again Sleep together in the evenings Time and time again Wake up together, argue sometimes Make up and love each other Travel away and miss each other Time and time again
Een Lied Voor Kinderen Composer(s): Dimitri Van Toren
First release by: Dimitri Van Toren - 1973
Dit is een lied alleen voor kinderen Het is gisteren gemaakt Omdat ze morgen uitgespeeld zijn Een trappenhuis wordt nu hun speelplaats Een lied dat zingt "geef ze de ruimte" Een lied dat dartelt in de zon Over dichtbijzijnde polders Een liedje zomaar andersom Over een stad die autovrij was Met een muziektent op de markt En een levensgrote speeltuin Over de vogels in 't park
Stel je voor, je kon er spelen Op de straten, op het plein Ongestoord kon je er hinkelen De stad zou helemaal van jou zijn Ergens hoor je kind'ren tellen Je telt mee "acht, negen, tien" En je hoort na al die jaren "Wie niet weg is is gezien"
Dit is een lied alleen voor kind'ren In een land van koning welvaart Morgen zullen ze niet meer spelen Een stadsvogel vrij verklaard Een lied voor kleine zielige vogels Die als kind'ren zijn vermomd Wier vleugels men heeft kortgeknipt Hun gezang is haast verstomd
Je Sais Que Tu Danses Composer(s): J.P. Buccolo; Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
J'aimerais que le temps s'accélère Qu'il efface toutes nos scènes de guerre Et que cette histoire recommence Y a bien des nageurs qui reviennent Y a bien des forêts qui s'éteignent Y a bien des étoiles qui avancent Toi, je sais que tu danses ... Je sais que tu danses Je vois dans mes nuits écarlates Des diables et des dieux qui se battent Devant tes cheveux qui balancent Pendant que mes forces s'évaporent Pendant que mes mains cherchent ton corps Dans toute l'épaisseur du silence Je sais que tu danses ... Je sais que tu danses Je vois ton image partout Des croix sur les endroits où Depuis ton parfum se balance Je vois ton image partout... Je ferai de mon mieux pour sourire Je baisserai les yeux pour te dire Combien les hivers sont immenses Sans que tu prononces une parole Sans même que tes pieds touchent le sol Quand tu reviendras si t'y penses J'aimerais que tu danses ... J'aimerais que tu danses Y aura ton image partout Des croix sur les endroits où Depuis ton parfum se balance Y aura ton image partout... Y aura ton image partout Des croix sur les endroits où Je vois ton corps en transparence Y aura ton image partout... ...Y aura ton image partout...

Je Sais Que C'est Elle Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil; Julien Clerc Performer(s): Julien Clerc
De ses deux bras tendus Elle fait l'horizon et le ciel Où sa tête en se balançant Fait toute la course du soleil
Et d'une épaule à l'autre Moi je sais que c'est elle Oui ce nouveau soleil Moi je sais que c'est elle..
{Refrain:} Je ne veux pas te dire Des serment éternels Éternels Les réveils sont cruels Et si l'on me demandait Sur la terre où est mon ciel Ou bien si j'ai de l'amour Comme une vision nouvelle Moi sans vouloir te nommer Notre ciel n'a pas d'oreilles Je leur dirais seulement de toi Je sais que c'est elle {3x} Sur ces deux jambes croisées Se déchire un murmure C'est la matière de ces bas Qui se plaint et qui me torture Et d'une cheville à l'autre Moi je sais que c'est elle Cette prison nouvelle Moi je sais que c'est elle...
{Refrain}
Et de tes deux bras tendus Tu fais l'horizon et le ciel Où ta tête en se balançant Fait toute la course du soleil
Moi sans vouloir te montrer Je garde toujours mes merveilles Toute la vie je leur répondrai Je sais que c'est elle
Time And A Word Composer(s): David Foster - Jon Anderson First release by: Yes - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
In the morning when you rise Do you open up your eyes, see what I see? Do you see the same things ev'ry day?
Do you think of a way to start the day Getting things in proportion? Spread the news and help the world go 'round
Have you heard of a time that will help us get it together again? Have you heard of the word that will stop us going wrong? Well, the time is near the word you'll hear When you get things in perspective Spread the news and help the word go round
There's a time and the time is now and it's right for me It's right for me, and the time is now There's a word and the word is love and it's right for me It's right for me, and the word is love
Have you heard of a time that will help get it together again? Have you heard of the word that will stop us going wrong? Well, the time is near and the word you'll hear When you get things in perspective Spread the news and help the word go round
There's a time and the time is now and it's right for me It's right for me, and the time is now There's a word and the word is love and it's right for me It's right for me, and the word is love There's a time and the time is now and it's right for me It's right for me, and the time is now There's a word and the word is love and it's right for me It's right for me, and the word is love

If I told a lie, if I made you cry When I said goodbye, I'm sorry From the bottom of my heart, dear I apologize If I caused you pain, I know I'm to blame Must have been insane, believe me From the bottom of my heart, dear I apologize I realize I've been unfair to you Please let me make amends Don't say that you forgot the love we knew After all, we were more than friends If I made you blue, I've had heartaches too Now I beg of you, forgive me From the bottom of my heart, dear I apologize Give me back your glance, give me back romance Give me one more chance, forgive me From the bottom of my heart, dear I apologize
Je Sais Comment English & German Titles: All This I Know; Ich Weiss Genau Composer(s): Julien Bouquet; Robert Chavigny Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Écoute-moi mon ami Aimes-tu la liberté Voudrais-tu t'enfuir d'ici Aimerais-tu t'évader? Veux-tu revivre à la vie Marcher sans chaînes à tes pieds Oh, réponds-moi, mon ami Aimerais-tu t'évader?
Je sais comment... Comment scier tous ces barreaux Qui sont là en guise de rideaux Je sais comment... Comment faire sauter les verrous Entre la liberté et nous Je sais comment... Comment faire tomber en poussière Ce mur énorme d'énormes pierres Je sais commment... Comment de sortir de ce cachot Fermé comme l'est un tombeau Je sais comment revoir les fleurs Sous un ciel bleu Je sais comment avoir le coeur Libre et heureux...
Tu ne dis rien mon ami Mais tu as au fond des yeux Plus de rêves que d'envie Pour voir ce coin de ciel bleu Tu crois que je t'ai menti Que je n'ai pas de secret Pourtant, tes yeux l'ont compris C'est eux qui sont dans le vrai...
Je sais comment... Comment faire tourner sur ses gonds La porte en fer de la prison Je sais comment... Comment faire voler en éclats Les boulets qui gênent nos pas Je sais comment... Comment briser de nos mains nues Toutes ses entraves sans être vus Je sais comment... Comment sortir de ce cachot Sans risquer d'y laisser la peau Je sais comment revoir les fleurs Sous un ciel bleu Je sais comment avoir le coeur Libre et heureux... Dors!...
I And I Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Bob Dylan; Michel Montecrossa; The Zimmermen
Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams
I and I In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
Think I'll go out and go for a walk Not much happenin' here, nothin' ever does Besides, if she wakes up now, she'll just want me to talk I got nothin' to say, 'specially about whatever was
I and I In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don't win the race It goes to the worthy, who can divide the word of truth Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
I and I In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
Outside of two men on a train platform there's nobody in sight They're waiting for spring to come, smoking down the track The world could come to an end tonight, but that's all right She should still be there sleepin' when I get back
I and I In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
Noontime, and I'm still pushin' myself along the road, the darkest part Into the narrow lanes, I can't stumble or stay put Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart I've made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot
I and I In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
