To Die Of Love ((Adapted from: Mourir D'aimer (Charles Aznavour) - 1971)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Howard Liebling Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1972
Versions In Other Languages: 1971 - Morire D'amore (Charles Aznavour) 2002 - Ik Hou Van Jou (André Hazes)
I reach to touch the walls around me The shadows of the night surround me Alone I face my destiny: to die of love
They say our love has been forbidden but what we feel can not be hidden It's very possible, you see, to die of love It's very possible, you see, to die of love
How to live far forever with you just to live life together with you that's the choice that I make and a chance I must take To live, my love must find expression and so I make my last confession without you it's my destiny, to die of love This world of ours does not grow younger some die of illness, some of hunger I stand before eternity, to die of love
That's why I try to find a way now I only live from day to day now and yet it's possible you see, to die of love and yet it's possible you see, to die of love
How to live far forever with you just to live life together with you that's the choice that I make and a chance I must take I hear their whispers when they see us If all their words condemn or free us I wonder will they sentence me? To die of love To die of love To die of love

While she watches the late show on the TV I'm watchin' some girl I just met take down her hair At home she's turnin' down the bed and fluffin' pillows While I wonder will I stay here when I should be there
To cheat or not to cheat, that's the question That's been runnin' through my mind all evenin' long To cheat or not to cheat, what's the answer Should I stay with her or should I go home
While she's standin' by the window watchin' for me Another stands by me just two steps away My mind can see her in the blue gown I bought for her But my eyes are fixed on a see through negligee
To cheat or not to cheat, that's the question That's been runnin' through my mind all evenin' long To cheat or not to cheat, what's the answer Should I stay with her or should I go home
While she makes another midnight pot of coffee We're mixin' up just one last glass of gin And before I even cheat I'm feelin' guilty And gin can't dim these butterflies within
To cheat or not to cheat that's the question That's been runnin' through my mind all evenin' long To cheat or not to cheat what's the answer Now I'm pullin' in my driveway here at home
Jealous Heart Composer(s): Jenny Lou Carson Performer(s): Tex Ritter; and various other artists
Jealous Heart, Oh, Jealous Heart stop beating Can't you see the damage you have done You have driven him/her away forever Jealous Heart, now I'm the lonely one
I was part of ev'rything he/she planned for And I know he/she loved me at the start Now he/she hates the sight of all I stand for All because of you, old Jealous Heart
Jealous Heart, why did I let you lead me When I knew the end would bring me pain Now he's/she's gone, he's/she's gone and found another Oh, I'll never see my love again
Through the years his/her memory will haunt me Even though we're many miles apart It's so hard to know he'll/she'll never want me 'Cause he/she heard your beating Jealous Heart
Many times I trusted you to guide me But your guiding only brought me tears Why oh why must I have you inside me Jealous Heart, for all my lonely years
Love Woman Composer(s): Douglas Legrand - Kenny Rogers
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers & The First Edition
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
Oh-oh (Love woman, keep your love light on)
Before I come back to Jacksonville
Pick up the telephone
Call that sweet young woman child
Tell her I'll be coming back home
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
You know I got pride and I ached inside
When I walked out the door
I've had the time to straighten my mind
Ain't gonna leave you no more
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
Started to rain, I went through some changes
You couldn't understand
I know I was wrong, I want to come home
I don't want to be no trouble, mama, I just want to be your man
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
I Cried For You Composer(s): Gus Arnheim; Arthur Freed; Abe Lyman First release by: Benny Krueger & His Orch. (instrumental) - 1923 Covered by multiple other artists
I remember other days, how I used to weep Over things you said to me, I couldn't even sleep You forgot your promises ev'ry single vow All you did was laugh at me but things are diff'rent now
I cried for you Now it's your turn to cry over me Ev'ry road has a turning That's one thing you're learning
I cried for you What a fool I used to be Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer I found a heart just a little bit truer
I cried for you Now it's your turn to cry over me
How can I forget the hours that I worried through Wondering the live-long day just what next thing to do In those days you never thought anything of me But the slave that was all yours and now at last is free
I cried for you Now it's your turn to cry over me Ev'ry road has a turning That's one thing you're learning
I cried for you What a fool I used to be Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer I found a heart just a little bit truer
Mine is a jealous heart Imagines things that never are Builds a fire from a tiny spark But that's the way of a jealous heart
Sunny skies and a rosy bed Thorns and storm clouds up ahead 'Cause suddenly the sky turns dark For those of us with a jealous heart
Imagination runnin' wild Like a frantic frightened child Any time that we're apart I can't control my jealous heart
And you know mine is a jealous heart And every hurt leaves a lasting scar Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are When you're cursed with a jealous heart
I love you more than words can tell One day's heaven two days hell Suspicious words like poison darts Spoken from my jealous heart
Mine is a jealous heart Imagines things that never are Builds a fire from a tiny spark But that's the way of a jealous heart
And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart And every hurt, and every hurt leaves a lasting scar Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are When you're cursed with a jealous heart
And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart Imagines things, imagines things that never are Builds a fire from a tiny spark But that's the way of a jealous heart
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
