I Believe In You Composer(s): Roger Cook; Sam Hogin First release by: Don Williams - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages: 1984 - Je Crois En Nous - Ich Glaub An Dich
I don't believe in superstars organic food and foreign cars I don't believe the price of gold the certainty of growing old that right is right and left is wrong that north and south can't get along that east is east and west is west and being first is always best
But I believe in love, I believe in babies I believe in mom and dad, and I believe in you
Well I don't believe that heaven waits for only those who congregate I like to think of God as love He's down below, He's up above He's watching people everywhere He knows who dies and doesn't care and I'm an ordinary man sometimes I wonder who I am
But I believe in love, I believe in music I believe in magic, and I believe in you
I know with all my certainty what's goin' with you and me is a good thing it's true, I believe in you
I don't believe virginity is as common as it used to be in working days and sleeping nights that black is black and white is white that Superman and Robin Hood are still alive in Hollywood that gasoline's in short supply the rising cost of getting by
But I believe in love, I believe in old folks I believe in children, I believe in you
I believe in love, I believe in babies I believe in mom and dad, and I believe in you
Je Suis Content, Ça Marche Composer(s): Jean-Jacques Vital; Serge Veber; Bruno Coquatrix Performer(s): Bourvil
Dès ma première apparition en ce monde Je surpris des observations à la ronde «Il est marrant» dit grand maman «Il est tout mou» dit ma nounou «Quelle gueule qu'il a» dit mon papa Je n'ai jamais vu ça Mais tout guilleret Je répondais «Je suis content, je suis content, ça marche» Dès qu'on me voit On parle de moi «Je suis content, je suis content, ça marche» Je suis une personnalité Déjà dès ma première tétée Tout en tétant J'allais chantant «Je suis content, je suis content, ça marche» Et bien sûr depuis, j'ai grandi C'est logique Et je sais toujours ce qu'on dit D'mon physique «Quels drôles de ch'veux» dit un monsieur «Quelles drôles de dents» fait un quidam «A quelle binette» Pense une brunette C'est fou c'qu'il a l'air bête Mais moi je m'dis Charmer la vie «Je suis content, je suis content, ça marche» Si j'n'avais pas Cette binette là Je ne pourrais sans doute pas dire «ça marche» Et au lieu de v'nir là à l'oeil J'payrais deux cent balles mon fauteuil Pour n'voir dans l'fond Qu'un pauv' couillon «Je suis content, je suis content, ça marche» Même si ça ne tourne pas rond Si vous vous sentez le bourdon Répétez donc Sur tous les tons «Je suis content, je suis content, ça marche»
Een Moment ((Adapted from: Time In A Bottle (Jim Croce) - 1972)) Composer(s): Jim Croce - Alain Vande Putte Performer(s): Severine Doré - 2003
Als ik een moment kon bewaren Dan koos ik voor dit hier met jou En liet dat moment dan een eeuwigheid duren Waarin er ons niks meer weerhoudt
Als ik een moment kon behouden Een herinnering die niet vervaagt Dan koos ik het ogenblik waarop je plots bij me bent En me in je hart draagt
Maar men heeft niet langer tijd genoeg Om zichzelf te zijn, om te dromen, om te leven En daarom wil ik graag een moment Dat je bij me bent voor altijd met je delen
En als ik een kist had voor wensen Voor dromen die werden verguld Dan was ze vast leeg op dat ene moment na Mn wereld in de liefde gehuld
Maar men heeft niet langer tijd genoeg Om zichzelf te zijn, om te dromen, om te leven En daarom wil ik graag een moment Dat je bij me bent voor altijd met je delen
I Believe In Happy Endings Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond
I believe in happy endings Starry skies and dreams come true I've believed it since I first met you
I believe in new beginnings Extra innings, brand new starts Loving hearts that care the way I do All these things and happy endings too
Sad songs bring me right down with the blues Glad songs take me wherever I choose And I choose to be there So that I Can declare why
I believe in happy endings You're the reason, love's the way And I'll believe it till my dying day
I know the cost of tears and trouble Some get lost, some make it through Me, I made it, 'cause I always knew That you believed in happy endings too
Sad songs bring me right down with the blues Glad songs take me wherever I choose And I choose to be there So that I Can declare
I know the cost of tears and trouble I got lost, but I got through And I made it, 'cause I always knew That you believed in happy endings too You and me and happy endings too
Je Suis Amoureux Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Pierre Roche Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Pierre Roche
J'aurai être fidèle Vivre comme un mari modèle Mais mon coeur est inconstant J'ai beau ma dire tournons la page Et fixons-nous sur une image Mais au fond de moi j'entends Simplement
Je suis amoureux de vous toutes mesdames Car vous avez su toutes je le proclame Simplement, gentiment Prendre place en mon coeur Je suis amoureux de vous toutes mesdames Pour que chacune de vous mon petit coeur s'enflamme Simplement, gentiment Follement, ardemment Vous faites mon bonheur De vous Lucie J'aime les yeux ardents De vous Marie La candeur de vingt ans De vous Sophie Au corps souple et charmant Ce je ne sais quoi troublant Je suis amoureux de vous toutes mesdames Car vous avez toutes je le proclame Simplement, gentiment Follement, ardemment Prendre place en mon coeur
Moi je ne sais pas être sage La vie pour moi est un passage Dont l'amour est l'agrément Lorsque des jolies filles passent Je fais des frais, je fais des grâces Et leurs dis en m'inclinant Galamment Je suis amoureux de vous toutes mesdames Car vous avez toutes je le proclame Simplement, gentiment Follement, ardemment Prendre place en mon coeur Je suis amoureux de vous toutes mesdames Pour que chacune de vous mon petit coeur s'enflamme Simplement, gentiment Follement, ardemment Vous faites mon bonheur De vous Lucie J'aime les yeux ardents De vous Marie La candeur de vingt ans De vous Sophie Au corps souple et charmant Ce je ne sais quoi troublant Je suis amoureux de vous toutes mesdames Car vous avez toutes je le proclame Simplement, gentiment Follement, ardemment Prendre place en mon coeur Prendre place en mon coeur
Time In A Bottle ((Dutch Version: Een Moment (Severine Doré) - 2003)) Composer(s): Jim Croce First release by: Jim Croce - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
If I could save time in a bottle The first thing that I'd like to do Is to save every day 'Til eternity passes away Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever If words could make wishes come true I'd save every day like a treasure and then Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do Once you find them I've looked around enough to know That you're the one I want to go Through time with
If I had a box just for wishes And dreams that had never come true The box would be empty Except for the memory Of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do Once you find them I've looked around enough to know That you're the one I want to go Through time with...
I Believe In Everything Composer(s): John Entwistle Performer(s): John Entwistle; Coal Bin Bros.
Have you ever had the feeling that you've been this place before But you haven't, not in this life You've seen it, you've done it, you've heard it all before But you haven't, not in this life
Do you believe in Santa Claus and loving at first sight I hope you do, 'cause I do Do you believe in ghosts that rattle chains at dead of night I hope you do, 'cause I do
'Cause I believe in everything 'Cause that's the simplest way for me to be I believe in everything To believe in everything you hear and see
'Cause I believe in everything 'Cause that's the simplest way for me to be I believe in everything To believe in everything you hear and see
Have you ever had the feeling that you've been this place before But you haven't, not in this life You've seen it, you've done it, you've heard it all before But you haven't, not in this life
Do you believe in witchcraft, Heaven and Hell, King Kong Reincarnation, fairies at the bottom of the garden Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, goblins, ghouls and witches Things that go bump in the night Telepathy, eternal youth, Mickey Mouse, Father Christmas
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it you would even say it glows All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names...
Je Suis À Toi Composer(s): Julien Bouquet Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Un matin le printemps est sorti De son lit pour aller faire la vie Et pour repeindre en bleu tout le gris Qui traînait sur les murs de Paris Du gris, il y en avait dans ma vie Mais ce jour-là, mais ce jour-là D'un seul coup, tout fut repeint en bleu Le ciel et les yeux des amoureux Du coup, pour le Pont-Neuf et la Seine Ce fut l'heure pour eux d'entrer en scène Sur ce pont, nous nous sommes croisés Moi, ce jour là j'allais tout droit Droit devant moi, vers je ne sais quoi... Rappelle-toi...
Des jonquilles, 'y en a eu par milliers On savait où aller les chercher Qu'ils sont chauds, les prés au mois de mai Qu'ils sont hauts, les blés au temps d'aimer Qu'ils sont beaux, les mots que tu disais "Je suis à toi... Je suis à toi" Ces mots-là, on ne s'en lasse jamais Ils sont faits, semble-t-il, pour durer J'aimais t'entendre les murmurer D'autant plus que pour moi ils semblaient vrais Pour moi-même, ne t'ai-je pas crié "Je suis à toi... Je suis à toi Mais garde-moi et serre-moi tout contre toi..."
Un matin, l'été a fichu le camp En laissant en souvenir du printemps Des feuilles qui virevoltent au vent D'un automne qui ne prend pas de gants Pour venir me dire à bout portant "Je suis à toi..." Aujourd'hui, les beaux jours sont sortis C'est fini, ils ont quitté Paris L'hiver va revenir mettre en gris Tout le bleu que notre amour y avait mis Du gris, mon Dieu, qu'y en a dans ma vie Je suis à toi... Je suis à toi... Mais reviens-moi comme autrefois... ...Je suis à toi...
I Believe In A Hill Called Mount Calvary Composer(s): William Gaither; Gloria Gaither; Dale Oldham Performer(s): Gaither Vocal Band and multiple other artists
I believe in a hill called mount calvary I believe whatever the cost And when time has surrendered And earth is no more I'll still cling to the old rugged cross
I believe that this life with its great mysteries Surely someday will come to an end But faith will conquer the darkness and death And will lead at last to my friend
I believe that the Christ Who was slain on the cross Has the power to change lives today For He changed me completely A new life is mine And that is why by the cross I will stay
I believe in a hill called mount calvary I believe whatever the cost And when time has surrendered And earth is no more I'll still cling to the old rugged cross
Time Has Come Today Composer(s): Willie M. Chambers - Joseph L. Chambers First release by: The Chambers Brothers - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Young hearts can go that way Can't put it off another day I don't care what others say They say we don't listen anyway Time has come today The rules have changed today I have no place to stay Thinking about the subway The love has flown away My tears have come and gone Oh my lord I have to roam I have no home I have no home
Now the time has come No place to run I might get burned up by the sun but I had my fun
I've been loved and put aside I've been crushed by tumbling tide and my soul has been psychedelicized
Now the time has come There are things to realize Time has come today Time has come today Time
I Believe Composer(s): Ervin Drake; Irvin Graham; Jimmy Shirl; Al Stillman First recording/First release by: Frankie Laine - 1953 Covered by multiple other artists
I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows I believe for everyone who goes astray someone will come to show the way I believe, I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky Then I know why I believe
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky Then I know why I believe (why I believe)
Je Serai Là English Title: I Will Be There Composer(s): Johnnie Christo; Johnny Hallyday; Étienne Roda-Gil; Trevor Steel; Milan Zekavica Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Sur tous les chemins de ta vie Dans le désert ou sous la pluie Quand tu voudras je serai là
Que tu viennes d'un château De nulle part ou d'un ruisseau Quand tu voudras je serai là
Je serai là si tu veux Comme ces rêves qui rendent heureux Pour faire d'un jour le plus beau jour de ta vie Je serai là si tu veux Comme la vie qu'on vit à deux Si tu es là je serai là
Dans le souffle d'un vent géant Dans le sourire du printemps Quand tu voudras je serai là
Dans tes moments de solitude Dans le confort ou la vie trop dure Je serai là
Je serai là si tu veux Comme ces rêves qui rendent heureux Pour faire d'un jour le plus beau jour de ta vie Je serai là si tu veux Comme la vie qu'on vit à deux Si tu es là je serai là
Dans tes yeux ou dans ton sommeil Quand tu dors, quand tu te réveilles Quand tu voudras je serai là
Je serai là si tu veux Comme ces rêves qui rendent heureux Pour faire d'un jour le plus beau jour de ta vie Je serai là si tu veux Comme la vie qu'on vit à deux Si tu es là je serai là
Rien que pour toi je serai là Si tu es là je serai là
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

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)...
I Beeped When I Should Have Bopped Composer(s): Paul Brenner; Bernie Wayne Performer(s): Louis Prima
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
