Thank You For The Roses
Composer(s): Jim Anglin
Performer(s): Kitty Wells



Oh, I thank you for the roses
They're just like a breath of spring
Oh, I thank you for the roses
And the memories that the roses bring

At my door, one dozen roses
On the card there was no name
My life revolves around the sender
Only memories, they still remain

Oh, I thank you for the roses
They're just like a breath of spring
Oh, I thank you for the roses
And the memories that the roses bring

How careless love shines so brightly
Can burn out like a flame
Those happy times we remember
There was sunshine and now the rain

Oh, I thank you for the roses
They're just like a breath of spring
Oh, I thank you for the roses
And the memories that the roses bring

I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine
Composer(s): Mack David
First recording/First release by: Tony Martin - 1949/1950
Covered by multiple other artists



The sun contains a ray
They label Vitamin D
If you like Vitamin D
It's quite alright with me
But I am here to say
That I like vitamin love
But I can't get vitamin love
With that doggone sun above....

I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my lovin' in the evening time
When I'm with my baby

It's no fun with the sun around
But I get going when the sun goes down
And I meet my baby

That's when we kiss and kiss and kiss
And then we kiss some more
Don't ask how many times we kiss
At a time like this, who keeps score?

So I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my lovin' in the evening time
When I'm with my baby

That's when we kiss and kiss and kiss
And then we kiss some more
Don't ask how many times we kiss
At a time like this, who keeps score?

So I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my lovin' in the evening time
When I'm with my baby

Puis il revint comme il était parti 
Bon pied, bon œil, personne d'averti
Aux dents, toujours la vive marguerite
Aux yeux, toujours la flamme qui crépite

Mit sur ta lèvre, Aline, un long baiser
Mit sur la table un peu d'or étranger
Chanta, chanta deux chansons de marine
S'alla dormir dans la chambre enfantine

Puis il revint comme il était parti 
Bon pied, bon œil, personne d'averti
Aux dents, toujours la vive marguerite
Aux yeux, toujours la flamme qui crépite

Rêva tout haut d'écume et de cavale
S'entortilla dans d'étranges rafales
Puis au réveil, quand l'aube se devine
Chanta, chanta deux chansons de marine

Puis il revint comme il était parti 
Bon pied, bon œil, personne d'averti
Aux dents, toujours la vive marguerite
Aux yeux, toujours la flamme qui crépite

Fit au pays son adieu saugrenu
Et s'en alla comme il était venu
Fit au pays son adieu saugrenu
Et s'en alla comme il était venu

To Love Again
Composer(s): George Sidney - Morris W. Stoloff - Ned Washington
Performer(s): Jerry Vale



No heart should refuse love
How lucky are the ones
Who choose love
And if we should lose love
We have the right to love again...

In a world full of faces
So few ever find their places
In many cases
Hearts have lost their way...

Don't live in the past dear
For you and me the die
Is cast dear
But if love won't last dear
We have the right to love again...

Don't live in the past dear
For you and me the die
Is cast dear
But if love won't last dear
We have the right to love again!

Well you can tell ev'ryone I'm a down disgrace
Drag my name all over the place
I don't care anymore
You can tell ev'rybody 'bout the state I'm in
You won't catch me crying 'cos I just can't win
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore

I don't care what you say
I don't play the same games you play

'Cos I've been talking to the people that you call your friends
And it seems to me there's a means to and end
They don't care anymore
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind
I don't care anymore I don't care no more

I don't care what you say
We never played by the same rules anyway

I won't be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore

Well, I don't care now what you say
'Cos ev'ry day I'm feeling fine with myself
And I don't care now what you say
Hey I'll do alright by myself
'Cos I know

'Cos I remember all the times I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face 'cos you held all the cards
I don't care anymore
And I really ain't bothered what you think of me
'Cos all I want of you is just a let me be
I don't care anymore 
D'you hear? 
I don't care no more

I don't care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway

I won't be there no more
So get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore
D'you hear? 
I don't care anymore 
I don't care no more
You listening?

No more!

You know I don't care no more!

Jefke
Performer(s): Della Bossiers



Gestruikeld over wolfijzers  en schietgeweren
Legde Magda er het bijltje toen bij neer
Zo moe van het vergaad’ren en tele-foneren
Liet z’ alles achter om weer anders te gaan leven
Maar vliegt den Aelvoet, dan is ’t storm op zee

Want al haar vrienden en collega’s
Waren in hele diepe rouw
Omdat er geen alternatief was
Voor zo een sterke, dapp’re vrouw
 
Want wie moest haar nu toch vervangen
In zulk een aartsmoeilijke baan?
En net toen ze zich aan een touw wilden verhangen 
Kwam hij er aan

En toen kwam jefke, jefke, jefke, je-ef-ke

Hij kwam en zag en overwon zijn angst voor dassen
En ging in een kostuum naar het paleis
De koning gaf hem daar een doos vol paperassen
En zei ‘Voilà dat is voor u, ’t gaat over Nepal
Ons Magdake geraakt er niet uit wijs’

Jefke sloeg toen aan ‘t studeren
En leerde snel in een twee drie
dat automatische geweren
bijdragen tot democratie

Hij riep toen: ‘veni vidi vici!’
En op ‘t  ministerkabinet
Heeft hij met onverschrokken moed  de coalitie
En ‘t land gered
 
’t Was dankzij Jefke, Jefke, Jefke, Je-ef-ke

Tout doux, doux, doucement
Il a pris mon cœur d'enfant
Et il m'a donné
Ce dont je rêvais

Tout doux, doux, doucement
Il a pris mon cœur d'enfant
Et je l'aime, oui, je l'aime
Oui, je l'aime

Quand il vient vers moi
Je ne sais pourquoi
J'ai l'impression que tout va bien
Et qu'il ne me manque vraiment plus rien

Oui, oui, tout doucement
Il a pris mon cœur d'enfant
Et je l'aime, oui je l'aime
Oui, je l'aime

Et si la chance
Ne me quitte pas
Un jour, il sera pour moi,
Rien que pour moi
Ah, ah !

Tout doux, doux, doucement
Il a pris mon cœur d'enfant
Car il m'a donné
Ce dont je rêvais

Tout doux, doux, doucement
Il a pris mon cœur d'enfant
Et je l'aime, oui, je l'aime
Oui, je l'aime

Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I don't care if the bells don't chime
Just as long as you love me

And I don't care if the top don't spin
I don't care if the gins won't gin
Just as long as you love me

So, darling, let it rain, let it snow
Let the cold north wind blow
Just as long as you love me

North or south, east or west
You know I will stand the test
Just as long as you love me

I don't care if the birds don't sing
I don't care if the bells don't ring
Just as long as you love me

And I don't care if the world don't turn
I don't care if the fire don't burn
Just as long as you love me

So, darling, let it rain, let it snow
Let the cold north wind blow
Just as long as you love me

North or south, east or west
You know I will stand the test
Just as long as you love me

Yes, darling, just as long as you love me

J'Effacerai De Ma Mémoire
Composer(s): P. Groscolas; G. Thibaut
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



J'effacerai de ma mémoire
Tout mes souvenirs d'enfant
Depuis couper le cordon
Jusqu'à ma première dent

J'effacerai de ma mémoire
Mes souvenirs de jeunesse
Depuis mes derniers boutons
Jusqu'à ma première caresse

J'effacerai de ma memoire
Depuis mon premier jour
Jusqu'à la nuit qui vient
Et dans le livre de mon histoire
Les pages deviendront blanches
Du début jusqu'au mot fin

J'effacerai de ma mémoire
Tous me souvenirs d'amour
Depuis mon dernier "je t'aime"
Jusqu'à mon premier "toujours"

J'effacerai de ma mémoire
Tous mes souvenirs d'hier
Depuis mon premier poême
Jusqu'à ma dernière guerre

J'effacerai de ma memoire
Mes souvenirs de demain
Et ma tête se videra
Je serai fou, enfin

J'effacerai même ma mémoire
Et le néant s'ouvrira
Mais je ne t'oublierai pas
J'y plongerai avec toi

I Don't Care
Performer(s): Los Bravos



Someone's gonna see
The way you look at me
Someone's bound to notice
How in love we seem to be
Someone's gonna say
That our last kiss
Too far too long to say goodnight

But I don't care what people say
(I don't care)
I can't help feeling this way
(I don't care)
Let me stay
Please let me stay

I won't let you down
(I won't let you down)
Or even make a sound
(Even make a sound)
I won't ask for anything
Just let me be around
I won't listen to them
When they whisper things about you in my ear

But I don't care what people say
(I don't care)
I can't help feeling this way
(I don't care)
Let me stay
Please let me stay

Someday wait and see
(Someday wait and see)
Bolder set you free
(Bolder set you free)
Someday we talked on the phone the way you used to be
One day not too far away
We'll show them we were right and they were wrong

For we don't care what people say
(We don't care)
We won't stop loving all day
(We won't stop)
We won't need, no, to hide away

Non Jef t'es pas tout seul
Mais arrête de pleurer
Comme ça devant tout le monde
Parce qu'une demi-vieille
Parce qu'une fausse blonde
T'a relaissé tomber
Non Jef t'es pas tout seul
Mais tu sais que tu me fais honte
A sangloter comme ça
Bêtement devant tout le monde
Parce qu'une trois quarts putain
T'a claqué dans les mains
Non Jef t'es pas tout seul
Mais tu fais honte à voir
Les gens se paient notre tête
Foutons le camp de ce trottoir
Allez viens Jef viens viens

{Refrain:}
Viens il me reste trois sous
On va aller se les boire
Chez la mère Françoise
Viens il me reste trois sous
Et si c'est pas assez
Ben il me restera l'ardoise
Puis on ira manger
Des moules et puis des frites
Des frites et puis des moules
Et du vin de Moselle
Et si t'es encore triste
On ira voir les filles
Chez la madame Andrée
Parait qu'y en a de nouvelles
On rechantera comme avant
On sera bien tous les deux
Comme quand on était jeunes
Comme quand c'était le temps
Que j'avais de l'argent

Non Jef t'es pas tout seul
Mais arrête tes grimaces
Soulève tes cent kilos
Fais bouger ta carcasse
Je sais que t'as le cœur gros
Mais il faut le soulever
Non Jef t'es pas tout seul
Mais arrête de sangloter
Arrête de te répandre
Arrête de répéter
Que t'es bon à te foutre à l'eau
Que t'es bon à te pendre
Non Jef t'es pas tout seul
Mais c'est plus un trottoir
ça devient un cinéma
Où les gens viennent te voir
Allez viens Jef viens viens

{Refrain}

Viens il me reste ma guitare
Je l'allumerai pour toi
Et on sera espagnols
Comme quand on était mômes
Même que j'aimais pas ça
T'imiteras le rossignol
Puis on se trouvera un banc
On parlera de l'Amérique
Où c'est qu'on va aller
Quand on aura du fric
Et si t'es encore triste
Ou rien que si t'en as l'air
Je te raconterai comment
Tu deviendras Rockfeller
On sera bien tous les deux
On rechantera comme avant
Comme quand on était beaux
Comme quand c'était le temps
D'avant qu'on soit poivrots

Allez viens Jef viens viens
Oui oui Jef oui viens

I Don't Blame You At All
Composer(s): William Robinson
Performer(s): Smokey Robinson & the Miracles



I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool 
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool 
No no no no no 
I'm only payin' the price for a trip I took to paradise 
'Cause I looked into a pair of eyes 
And what I thought was the look of love was only hurt in disguise 
Too bad I didn't realize, oh but don't apologize, no, 'cause... 

I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool 
I should've did it myself 
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool 
No no no no no 
I think it's pretty plain: holdin' you would take a ball & chain 
Every bet I made was all in vain 
'Cause what I thought was an ocean of love was just a wee drop of rain 
Too bad that it couldn't rain, oh but you don't have to explain, no, 'cause... 

I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool 
I should've did it myself 
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool 
No no no no no 
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool 
That's the thing to do 
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool 
No no no no no 

I said, what I thought was sure to last, to last was just a minute instead 
Too bad that I got misled, ah but you don't have to hang your head, no, 'cause... 

I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool 
I should've did it myself 
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool 
No no no no no 
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool 
'Cause that's the thing to do 
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool 
No no no no no ...

You're so sweet, you're so fine
I want you all and ev'rything just to be mine
'Cos you're my baby, 'cos you're my love
Oh girl I'm just a jeepster for your love

You slide so good with bones so fair
You've got the universe reclining in your hair
'Cos you're my baby, yes you're my love
Oh girl I'm just a jeepster for your love

Just like a car you're pleasing to be hold
I'll call you Jaguar if I may be so bold
'Cos you're my baby, 'cos you're my love
Oh girl I'm just a jeepster for your love - oh

The wild winds blow upon your frozen cheeks
The way you flip your hip it always makes me weak
'Cos you're my baby, 'cos you're my love
Oh girl I'm just a jeepster for your love - oh

Your motivation is so sweet
Your vibrations are all burning up my feet
'Cos you're my baby, mmh, 'cos you're my love
Oh girl I'm just a jeepster for your love
I said girl I'm just a vampire for your love
I'm gonna suck you

Oh-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o wow
A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a ow, wow yeah, vampire!

To Kingdom Come
Composer(s): J.R. Robertson
Performer(s): The Band



Forefather pointed to kingdom come
Sadly told his only son
Just be careful what you do
"Robbie Lick"
It all comes back on you

False witness spread the news
Somebody's gonna lose
Either she or me or you
Nothing we can do

Don't you say a word
Or reveal a thing you've learned
Time will tell you well
If you truly, truly fell

Tarred and feathered, yea!
Thistles and thorns
One or the other
He kindly warns

Now you look out the window tell me
What do you see?
I see a golden calf pointing
Back at me

I been sitting in here for so darn long
Waitin' for the end to come along.
Holy roaster on the brink
Take a chance, swim or sink

False witness, cast an evil eye
said I cannot tell a lie
Haints and saints don't bother me
I'm not alone you see

Don't you say a word
Or reveal a thing you've learned
Time will tell you well
If you truly, truly fell

I walk along the road and past your door 
Then I remember things you said 
I know in time we could've been so much more 
But if you wanna come back home, go right ahead 

But I don't believe in miracles 
I don't believe in miracles 
But I thought you might show your face 
Or have the grace to tell me where you are 

I believe I was your game, your ball (your ball) 
If you tossed me up then I would fall 
And so you've won again, ah, you win them all 
But I believe I'd run to you, if you should call 

But I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) 
I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) 
But I thought you might show your face 
Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are) 

I believe that somewhere there's someone 
Who's gonna light the way when things go wrong 
The bullet that shot me down came from your gun 
The words that turned me round were from your song 

But I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) 
I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) 
But I thought you might show your face 
Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are) 

But I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) 
I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) 
But I thought you might show your face 
Or have the grace to tell me where you are

I don't care what the weatherman says
When the weatherman says it's raining
You'll never hear me complaining

When the weather vane points to gloomy
It's gotta be sunny to me
When your eyes look into mine

Jeepers creepers, where'd ya get those peepers?
Jeepers creepers, where'd ya get those eyes?
Gosh all, git up, how'd they get so lit up?
Gosh all, git up, how'd they get that size?
Golly gee, when you turn those heaters on

Jeepers creepers, where'd ya get those peepers?
Oh, those weepers, how they hypnotize!
Where'd ya get those eyes?

You left, left me to cry
At a table that was set for two
But the most I can offer
A tear drop for you
Tear drop for you (Teardrop for you)

The pain deep inside

But the most I can offer
Is a tear drop, tear drop
A tear drop for you

I'd show the world  (I'd show the world)
Woooh, my emotions (My emotions)
Yes, but what  (Yes, but what)
What good would it be (What good would it be)
I'd tell the world (I'd tell the world)
Of my devotion (Of my devotion)
Yet, could it bring (Duh-duh) you back (Duh-duh) 
To me (Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh)

I swallowed, swallowed my pride
For your love I could never hide
Little girl, little girl, the most I could offer
Is a tear drop
(Tear drop for you)

Now if you load your rifle right
And if you fix your bayonet so
And if you kill that man, my friend
The one we call the foe
And if you do it often, lad
And if you do it righ
You'll be a hero overnight
You'll save your country from her plight
Remember God is always right
If you survive to see the sight
A friend now greeting foe...

No you won't believe in If anymore

If I could have the time again
I'd take the sunshine leave the rain
If only time would trickle slow
Like rain that melts the fallen snow
If only Lord if only
If only Lord if only

Oh I don't believe in If anymore
If's an illusion
