Joy


Joy
Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
Performer(s): Harry Nilsson



The other day, I met a girl named Joy
She said, “Come here, I’m going to make you my Joy Boy”
Well, things went good, things went bad
Now every time I think of Joy it makes me sad

It makes me ... sad

The other day, I met a girl named Joy
She said, “Roy, I’m going to make you my Joy Boy”
Well, she took me for a ride, sort of a joy ride
Now every time I think of Joy, I get all weird inside

Joy to the world was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow

Now, if you haven’t got an answer, you’d never have a question
And if you never had a question, then you’d never have a problem
But if you never had a problem, well everyone would be happy
But if everyone was happy, there’d never be a love song

Joy to the world was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow

The other day, I met a girl named Joy
She said, “Come here, I’m going to make you all clammy inside”
Well, things went good, things went bad
Things went good and things went bad
Good, bad, good, bad, good, bad

Joy to the world was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
Joy to the world was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow

Tonight You're Mine


Tonight You're Mine
Composer(s): Jim Capaldi
Performer(s): Jim Capaldi



Your wedding was so fine, a thousand people drinking champagne and wine
Your daddy smiled as he gave your hand away
All your friends got you fixed in place
I can see by the sad look on your face
that your heart is dying to fly away

Tonight you're mine
I'm gonna love you tell the end of time
Tonight we're gonna take it all the way
Tonight you're mine
This thing we're feeling girl
it ain't no crime you know
There's gonna be a brighter day

The time has come for you to make that final run
Pack a suitcase - get out the door
Sometimes you gotta be cruel to be kind
Sometimes you gotta leave it all behind
Well you don't need it any more

Tonight you're mine
I'm gonna love you tell the end of time
Tonight we're gonna take it all the way
Tonight you're mine
This thing we're feeling girl
it ain't no crime you know
There's gonna be a brighter day

I Hear A Rhapsody


I Hear A Rhapsody
Composer(s): Jack Baker; George Fragos; Dick Gasparre
Performer(s): Jimmy Dorsey
and multiple other artists



And when I hear you call
so softly to me
I don't hear a call at all
I hear a Rhapsody

And when your sparkling eyes
are smiling at me
Then soft through the starlit skies
I hear a rhapsody

My days are so blue
when you're away
My heart longs for you
so won't you stay

My darling, hold me tight
and whisper to me
Then soft through a starry night
I'll hear a rhapsody

Jovens Tardes De Domingo


Jovens Tardes De Domingo
Composer(s): Roberto Carlos; Erasmo Carlos
Performer(s): Roberto Carlos



Eu me lembro com saudade o tempo que passou
O tempo passa tão depressa mas em mim deixou

Jovens tardes de domingo
Tantas alegrias
Velhos tempos, belos dias

Canções usavam formas simples pra falar de amor
Carrões e gente numa festa de sorriso e cor

Hoje os meus domingos são doces recordações
Daquelas tardes de guitarras
Sonhos e emoções
O que foi felicidade me mata agora de saudade
Velhos tempos, belos dias

Vejam só que festa de arromba
Outro dia eu fui parar
Vinha voando no meu carro
Quando vi pela frente
Na beira da calçada
Um broto displicente

They say that you will never settle down

To win your lovin' I'll do anything (anything)

I hear a dream all day
The dream that calls to me
Come home again you sailor man, sailor man
Home again to the sea

I hear a dream all day
A dream that calls to me
Come home again you sailor man, sailor man
Home again where you should be

Jours De Lumière


Jours De Lumière
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



En ce temps là nous aurions décroché la lune
Pour gagner l'tour gratuit au manège de la vie
Nous flânions en chemin, nous chantions pour des prunes
Cueillant de ci de là le sourire d'une fille

C'était encore le temps des émotions primaires
On s'emplissait les yeux d'un couché de soleil
Nous n'avions ni le goût, ni le sens des affaires
Mais un sens de la vie qui n'a plus son pareil
Comme avant, comme avant
En ces jours de lumières
J'aimerais tant retrouver
Les parfums oubliés
Des bonheurs ordinaires
En ces jours de lumière

C'était aussi le temps des amitiés sans faille
Prêts pour tous les départs ensemble à l'arrivée
Nous étions deux amis et qu'importait la taille
Nous étions deux géants, nous étions une armée

Comme avant, comme avant
En ces jours de lumière
J'aimerais tant retrouver les parfums oubliés
Des bonheurs ordinaires
En ces jours de lumière
Nous avions tous les pouvoirs
Dans nos solitudes d'or
Nous gardions tous nos espoirs
Nous ne rampions pas encore
En ces jours de lumière, en ces jours de lumière
En ces jours de lumière...

Et nous passions les nuits à retoucher le monde
Et au petit matin, nous avions tout compris
Nous avions les idées, nous avions la faconde
Tout devait être beau, il suffisait d'un "si"
Comme avant, comme avant
En ces jours de lumière
J'aimerais tant retrouver
Les parfums oubliés
Des bonheurs ordinaires
Comme avant, comme avant
En ces jours de lumière
J'aimerais tant retrouver
Les parfums oubliés
Des bonheurs ordinaires

Tonight You Belong To Me
Performer(s): Patience & Prudence



I know (I know)
You belong - to somebody new
But Tonight you belong to me...
Although (Although)
We're apart - you're part of my heart...
And tonight you belong to me...
Way down by the stream...
How sweet it will seem...
Once more just to dream
In the moonlight...
My honey I know...
With the dawn... that you will be gone...
But tonight you belong to me...
Way down way down along the stream...
How very very sweet it will seem...
Once more just to dream in the silvery moonlight...
My honey I know...
With the dawn... that you will be gone...
But tonight you belong to me...
Just to little old me...

I Hear A Call To Arms


I Hear A Call To Arms
Composer(s): Sam Coslow; Al Siegel
Performer(s): Dorothy Lamour



When you blow that horn you thrill me
To the marrow of my bones you chill me
There it goes, I hear a call to arms
La-de-da-de-da
Oh the bliss each note expresses
Reaching out to me like soft caresses
There it goes, I hear a call to arms

And even though you go
And this romantic glow may fade
One dream you'll never sever
`cos when you're gone
I'll hear your serenade
Echoing in my heart forever

Blow it, slow and low and tender
Let my soul respond in sweet surrender
There it goes, I hear a call to arms

And even though you go
And this romantic glow may fade
One dream you'll never sever
`cos when you're gone
I'll hear your serenade
Echoing in my heart forever

Blow it, slow and low and tender
Let my soul respond in sweet surrender
There it goes, I hear a call to arms

Journey's End


Journey's End
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Pappy Stewart
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
Bill Monroe; Jimmie Skinner



Each night brings back my dreams of you
I cry and cry I feel so blue
You broke my heart so why pretend
Because the sign ahead reads journeys end

Chorus:
River rollin’ along…
Skies are turnin’ gray
Clouds are movin’ in…
I’ve lost my way
I try to smile…
But why pretend
Because the sign ahead…
Reads journey’s end

Ah come in Billy Byrd…

Sitting all alone beneath the stars
I’m wondering where on earth you are
Thinking of things that might have been
But the sign ahead… reads journey’s end

Chorus:
River rollin’ along…
Skies are turnin’ gray
Clouds are movin’ in…
I’ve lost my way
I try to smile…
But why pretend
Because the sign ahead…
Reads journey’s end

Tonight Will Live


Tonight Will Live
Composer(s): Ned Washington - Agustín Lara
Performer(s): Dorothy Lamour; Bunny Berigan



Tonight, tonight will live forever
Tonight, tonight will vanish never
Heaven has hung the stars out in their places
This is the night for love and warm embraces
The leaves are wet, the breeze is tender
The scene is set for sweet surrender
Thousands of nights may come while we're together
But I know that tonight (hum)
Will live forever!

I Haven't Got Anything Better To Do


I Haven't Got Anything Better To Do
Composer(s): Lee Pockriss; Paul Vance
Performer(s): Astrud Gilberto
and multiple other artists



I never loved him, he never reached me
He was just someone, someone I knew
I think about him on alternate Thursdays
When I haven’t got anything better to do

He’s got a problem if he thinks I need him
I couldn’t care less now that we’re through
I only sit home and I wait for his phone call
When I haven’t got anything better to do

Wasn’t I awfully smart not to fall and break my heart
He never meant a thing to me, he’s gone
I’m glad, I’m free
And when he kissed me, no no he never moved me
Nothing fantastic, thrilling or new
So if I’m crying, I’m only crying
Cause I haven’t got anything better
No I haven’t got anything better
I haven’t got anything better to do…without you
I never loved him, no he never moved me
Nothing fantastic…

Jouez Bouzouki


Jouez Bouzouki
Composer(s): Sylvain Lebel;
Jean Kluger; Daniel Vangarde
Performer(s): Dalida



Hey!
Vous tous, où allez vous comme ça
Qu'es ce que c'est que tous ces cris de joies
Mais dis donc grand-père qu'es ce que tu fais là
À danser dans la rue comme Zorba
On dirait qu'il pleut là bas
Regarde le bon Dieu nous offre le champagne
C'est la fête à qui c'est le printemps de quoi
On en sais rien mais on y vas

Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Que l'hiver vole en éclat
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Pour moi
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
C'est la fête à qui voudras
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Pour moi

Il nous arrive de tous les cotés
Des gens qui n'avaient jamais dansés
Il y a des femmes en noir et en couleurs
Des enfants qui rient et des vieux qui pleurent
Tambourin, Guitare et Marimba
Le matin ne s'en remettra pas
C'est la fête à qui c'est le printemps de quoi

Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Que l'hiver vole en éclat
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Pour moi
C'est la fête à qui voudras
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Pour moi

Hey! Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Que l'hiver vole en éclat
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Pour moi
C'est la fête à qui voudras
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Pour moi

Little darling
Where you've been so long
I've been out here thinking about ya
And the feeling's real strong
Well the time has come to celebrate
You and me girl so sounds great
'Cause tonight will be alright
Oh baby

Little darling, come on

To a midnight honey town and set it on fire
We don't want to be mad
But we have to be cool
You and me girl
Let's break all the rules
'Cause tonight will be alright
Oh my baby, I'm gonna say it again
I can see us moving on
Down the highway
I can see us loving
Till our hearts desire
Anything you wanna do girl
You just tell me
'Cause it's alright, cause it's alright

Little darling, telling you no use
Keep me thinking about you honey
My soul's on fire
Well if you want me girl
And the games I play
Anything's alright, anything you say
'Cause tonight will be alright
Alright, baby I'll say it again, alright
Alright, alright, alright, baby
We gonna make it alright
You and me baby, alright

I Haven't Got The Nerve


I Haven't Got The Nerve
Composer(s): George Cameron; Steve Carmelo Martin
First release: The Left Banke - 1967
Covered by: Shane Faubert - 1999



I haven't got the nerve
I haven't got the nerve

to tell you our love is over
and to say I'm through with you
I can't take much more of you girl
you make all my days so blue

leave me lonely and forget me
days of may will soon be gone
girl I know you never loved me
It won't hurt to see me gone

I haven't got the nerve
I haven't got the nerve

I have realized a lot girl
since the day that we first met
I'm not like I used to be girl
I won't hide my fears no more

you won't hurt me anymore, girl
listen to these words and leave
there's no more love left inside me
Is not me that you deceive

Joue Pas De Rock 'N' Roll Pour Moi


Joue Pas De Rock 'N' Roll Pour Moi
Composer(s): Mike Chapman; Nicky Chinne
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Nous n'avons plus rien à nous dire
Je suis plus dur que tu ne crois
Ne te sers pas de souvenirs
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!

Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!

J'ai fait ce qu'un homme devait faire pour mériter ce nom
Mais le doute et la folie marchaient à tes cotés
Tu oses parler de ton retour et de nos souvenirs
Avec une voix qui grince comme un 45 tours usé
Chaque mot est un mensonge à travers un sourire

Nous n'avons plus rien à nous dire
Je suis plus dur que tu ne crois
Ne te sers pas de souvenirs
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!

Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!

Je crois que je vais rester sourd pendant très longtemps
Avec le sourire de la vengeance sur les lèvres
Les bras croisés sur 1e cœur qui bat de tous son sang
Les yeux tournés vers l'horizon d'où sortent les rêves
Demain tu hurleras tes mensonges dans le vent

Nous n'avons plus rien à nous dire
Je suis plus dur que tu ne crois
Ne te sers pas de souvenirs
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!

Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!

Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You


Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release: Bob Dylan - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Throw my ticket out the window
Throw my suitcase out there, too
Throw my troubles out the door
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you

I should have left this town this morning
But it was more than I could do
Oh, your love comes on so strong
And I've waited all day long
For tonight when I'll be staying here with you

Is it really any wonder
The love that a stranger might receive
You cast your spell and I went under
I find it so difficult to leave

I can hear that whistle blowin'
I see that stationmaster, too
If there's a poor boy on the street
Then let him have my seat
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you

Throw my ticket out the window
Throw my suitcase out there, too
Throw my troubles out the door
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you

I Haven't Been Home For Three Whole Nights


I Haven't Been Home For Three Whole Nights
Performer(s): Spike Jones & His City Slickers



I haven't been home for three whole nights
Three whole nights, three whole nights
I haven't been home for three whole nights
Last night, tonight and tomorrow

Been having some fun for three whole nights
Three whole nights, three whole nights
Been having some fun for three whole nights
Last night, tonight and tomorrow

Now I lost my wife's last money
And I didn't care
But now I'm really worried
'Cause somebody's moved my house somewhere

I haven't been home for three whole nights
Three whole nights, practically a fortnight
I haven't been home for three whole nights
Last night, tonight and tomorrow

My wife, she up and left me
Yes, I guess she was provoked
She said I had bad habits
She couldn't stand a man who smoked

I haven't been home for three whole nights
Three whole nights, three whole nights
I haven't been home for three whole nights
Last night, tonight and... and yester... no, no
Last night, tonight and to... no, no
Well, it really doesn't matter
I'm going to get heck when I get home, anyway!

J'Oublierai Ton Nom


J'Oublierai Ton Nom
Composer(s): Michael Jones; Jean-Jacques Goldman
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday; Florent Pagny



De semaines inutiles en futiles dimanches
De secondes immobiles aux aiguilles qui penchent
J'oublierai ton nom

De quatre nouveaux murs dans un autre quartier
De pinceaux de peinture en meubles à installer
J'oublierai ton nom

De la piste suante à la dernière danse
De quelques nuits de feu aux matinées de cendres
De cette agitation dénuée de tout sens
Du fond de ma raison jusqu'à mon inconscience

De la main d'un ami au baiser d'une bouche
Tous ceux qui sauront lire que le mal a fait mouche
J'oublierai ton nom

J'oublierai ton nom
De mille façons
Et cette certitude
Me fait plus mal encore
J'aimais cette blessure
C'était toi encore

I know it's been tough
I've hurt you enough
But you'll never see
That I must be free
Forget my name

You'll find someone, somewhere
All your troubles to share
She'll wipe out the past
And fell at last
Forget my name

All the good and bad times
We've ever had
Will seem so far away
Will be lonely sad

There's hundreds of ways
To kill away the time
That's how you are made
You know you'll never be mine

De la main d'un ami
Au baiser d'une bouche
Tous ceux qui sauront lire
Que le mal a fait mouche
J'oublierai ton nom

J'oublierai ton nom
De mille façons
Et cette certitude
Me fait plus mal encore
J'aimais cette blessure
C'était toi encore

J'oublierai ton nom
De mille façons

Pour les mêmes raisons qui m'ont fait t'aimer
Parce qu'il fallait bien vivre avant d'oublier

J'oublierai ton nom
De mille façons
Et cette certitude
M'est la pire des morts
J'aimais cette blessure
C'était toi encore

J'oublirai ton nom

sai che tornerò

non mi dire addio
se devo andarmene
se potessi farlo
non ti lascerei
sai che resterei dove sei tu

questo amore grande
che sentiamo in noi
non potrà finire
se tu lo vorrai

sai che tornerò

non mi dire addio
