To Bobby Composer(s): Joan Baez Performer(s): Joan Baez
I'll put flowers at your feet And I will sing to you so sweet And hope my words will carry home to your heart You left us marching on the road And said how heavy was the load The years were young, the struggle barely at its start
Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby They're crying for you See the children in the morning light, Bobby They're dying
No one could say it like you said it We'd only try and just forget it You sood alone upon the mountain 'til it was sinking And in a frenczy we tried to reach you With looks and letters we would beseech you Never knowing what, where or how you were thinking
Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby They're crying for you See the children in the morning light, Bobby They're dying
Perhaps the pictures in the Times Could no longer be put in rhymes When all the eyes of starving children are wide open You cast aside the cursed crown And put your magic into a sound That made me think your heart was aching, or even broken
But if God hears my complaint He will forgive you And so will I, in all respect, I'll just relive you And likewise you must understand the things we give you
Like these flowers at yur door And scribbled notes about the war We're only saying that time is short and there is work to do And we're stilll marching on the streets With little victories and big defeats But there is joy, and there is hope, and there's a place for you
Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby They're crying for you See the children in the morning light, Bobby They're dying
I Cried A Tear Composer(s): Al Julia; Fred Jacobson Performer(s): LaVern Baker and multiple other artists
I cried a tear because of you I cried a tear because we're through I cried a tear what else could I do But cry and sigh for love of you
I felt a tear fall in my heart You fooled me so I wasn't smart I can't believe that we must part Come back to stay let's make a new start
I cried a tear because of you I cried a tear because we're through Please make my dream of you come true Don't make me cry a tear for you Don't make me cry a tear for you
Jealous Guy Composer(s): John Lennon Performer(s): John Lennon
I was dreaming of the past And my heart was beating fast I began to lose control I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you I'm sorry that I made you cry Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you I'm just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure You might not love me anymore I was shivering inside I was shivering inside
I didn't mean to hurt you I'm sorry that I made you cry Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you I'm just a jealous guy
I didn't mean to hurt you I'm sorry that I made you cry Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you I'm just a jealous guy
I was trying to catch your eyes Thought that you was trying to hide I was swallowing my pain I was swallowing my pain
I didn't mean to hurt you I'm sorry that I made you cry Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you I'm just a jealous guy, watch out I'm just a jealous guy, look out babe I'm just a jealous guy

Jealous Composer(s): Bob Welch Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac
It's easy to see why 'Cause I look in those green eyes And I fall in love with her All over again Yeah, but this can be dangerous 'Cause those green eyes seem to say yes So easily and to so many men
(chorus)
Well I know I've got a jealous heart A jealous mind But I'm trying to keep a hold of my girl
Now loving so caring But sometimes she's daring And those big green eyes They set you up for a fall Now I'm tryin' to keep her But I just can't reach her That with me it's all Or nothing at all
Versions In Other Languages: 1959 - J'En Déduis Que Je T'Aime (Charles Aznavour) 1964 - Ne Deduco Che T'amo (Charles Aznavour)
Is it true what I feel Is sunsine really rain Is laughter really pain Do flowers cry in sorrow Do the rivers that flow Turn salty by the sea Bitter teardrops for me Is life just one tomorrow
Love at last you have found me Love at last you have found me
Does a kiss mean a fire That never knows a flame Does my heart play a game By telling me I'm living Are my words not my own The stupid things I say Like a child making play I don't know what I'm giving
Love at last you have found me Love at last you have found me, but
Now the storm begins The wild, exotic wind Soft words caressed with pain Sweet smiles that hide a look of shame Madness in our sighs Then fickle tears and rice But I will face it all To look into your eyes
You have conquered my soul And taken me away Blindly groping my way Not knowing, never caring In the stillness of night I feel you by my side And yet I want to hide From sadness we are sharing
Love at last you have found me Love at last you have found me
So this is my way Have others gone before Is love an open door Mine just for the taking or Will I be afraid So lost and so alone Are your lips mine alone What is this we are making
Love at last you have found me Love at last you are mine
I Couldn't Sleep A Wink Last Night German Title: Ich Hab' Die Ganze Nacht Geweint Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
I couldn't sleep a wink last night Because we had that silly fight I thought my heart would break the whole night through I knew that you'd be sorry, and I'm sorry, too
I didn't have my favorite dream The one in which I hold you tight I had to call you up this morning To see if everything was still all right Yes, I had to call you up this morning 'cause I couldn't sleep a wink last night
I didn't have my favorite dream The one in which I hold you tight I had to call you up this morning To see if everything was still all right Yes, I had to call you up this morning 'cause I couldn't sleep a wink last night
To Be Worthy Of You Composer(s): Walter Gross - Ray Klages Performer(s): Frankie Laine
You're so near and yet so far away Can I hope to share your love someday? I'd give anything that I possess If I could only prove my worthiness
To be worthy of you Will be the dream of my life The thing supreme in my life To be worthy of you Can I hope for romance? Will I find love in your glance? Is there a ghost of a chance To be worthy of you?
You're my heart and my soul My life and love you control This one desire is my goal To be worthy of you Will the day come for me When I'm all you want me to be? There's nothing I wouldn't do To be worthy of you

Versions In Other Languages: 1970 - To Be The One You Love (Tony Renis) 1971 - La Pasión De Un Gran Amor (Sergio Denis)
Venise va mourir un jour Venise va mourir Je ne peux pas imaginer Sans un soupir Qu'un jour Venise au fond de l'eau Verra passer tous les bateaux Comme une épave de lumière Un roman sous la mer Venise a des blessures Sur chaque pierre de chaque mur Des sérénades à faire pleurer Le monde entier Venise a des colombes Qui ont choisi ce coin du monde
Et qui un jour ne sauront plus Où se poser, jamais, jamais Venise va mourir un jour Venise va mourir un jour On voit, en plein hiver S'ouvrir la mer Et puis Venise disparait C'est comme si tu me disais Qu'un jour la terre à son réveil Perdait son soleil Venise m'appartient Tous ses palais, tous ses jardins Ses cathédrales et ses clochers Doivent rester Parce que Venise à trop d'amants Qui meurent un peu en se disant On vit d'amour et que Venise va mourir Un jour, un jour, un jour
I Couldn't Live Without Your Love Composer(s): Tony Hatch; Jackie Trent Performer(s): Petula Clark and multiple other artists
You're the only one that I rely on A shoulder there for me to cry on And the hours alone that I'm without you All I ever do is think about you
No one knows that you so understanding Even though my love is so demanding Everytime you look at me Then you'll know we'll both agree That no other love for me
I couldn't live without your love Now I know you're really mine Gotta have you all the time
Didn't like you much when I first met you But somehow I couldn't quite forget you Said you didn't want a friend or lover That your life was happy with another
But as time went by my love grew stronger Knew that I just couldn't wait any longer For I couldn't let you know When I have to tell you so That I love you then you know
I couldn't live without your love Now I know you're really mine Gotta have you all the time
Now the tears are gone and I'm not crying When you say you love me you're not lying
So when people want to stare I know I don't really care Just as long as you are there
I couldn't live without your love Now I know you're really mine Gotta have you all the time
I couldn't live without your love Now I know you're really mine Gotta have you all the time

Je vous salue Madame Ne priez plus pour moi Je vous salue Madame Ne priez plus pour moi

To leave the shadows of the night And touch your face at morning light To know how lucky I must be To be the one you love The one you love
