Without Her


Without Her
Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
Original Performer: Harry Nilsson
Covered by various other artists



I spend the night in a chair thinking she'll be there
But she never comes
And I wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day
Without her

Without her, I can't go on
Without her, I can't go on
Without her, I can't go on

It's just no good anymore when you walk through the door
To an empty room
You go inside and set a table for one, it's no fun
When you have to spend a day
Without her, do do do...
Without her, do do do...

We burst the pretty balloon took us to the moon
It's such a beautiful thing
But it's ended now
And it sounds like a lie
I said I'd rather die than live without her
Without her

Love is a beautiful thing when it knows how to swing
And it moves like a clock
But the hands on the clock tell the lovers to part
And it's breaking my heart
To have to spend a day without her, do do do...
Can't go on without her

Without her, I can't go on
Without her, I can't go on
Without her, I can't go on

We burst the pretty balloon took us to the moon
It's such a beautiful thing
But it's ended now
And it sounds like a lie
I said I'd rather die than live without her
Without her
Without her, do do do...
It's so wrong without her
Can't go on

I spend the night in a chair thinking she'll be there
But she never comes
And I wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day
Without her, do do do...
Can't go on without her
There's no song without her
It's all wrong without her
Can't go on

I can't go on (without her)

Without A Word Of Warning


Without A Word Of Warning
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Revel
Performer(s): Dean Martin;
and various other artists



Without a word of warning my life has begun
Without a word of warning two hearts beat as one
From out of nowhere you came to me
A breeze passed by whispering your name to me
And without a word of warning strange as it seems
We kissed and with that kiss you invaded my dreams
I don't know how it ever happened out of the blue up above
You came along to answer my song of love
I don't know how it ever happened out of the blue up above
You came along to answer my song of love

Alright For Now


Alright For Now
Composer(s): Tom Petty
Performer(s): Tom Petty; Dimit; The Mickeys



Goodnight baby, sleep tight my love
May God watch over you from above
Tomorrow I'm workin' what would I do
I'd be lost & lonely if not for you

So close your eyes
We're alright for now

I've spent my life travelin'
I've spent my life free
I could not repay all you've done for me

So sleep tight baby
Unfurrow your brow
And know I love you
We're alright for now
We're alright for now

Without A Song


Without A Song
Composer(s): Edward Eliscu; Billy Rose; Vincent Youmans
Original Performers: Lois Deppe & Russell Woodling's Jubilee Singers
Made Famous By: Frank Sinatra
Covered by various other artists



Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never bend
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song!

That field of corn, would never see a plough
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A young one's born, but he's no good no how
Without a song!

I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know
The Jordan will roll (Roll you river Jordan!)
I'll get along as long as a song is strung
In my soul!

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!

(I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know the Jordan will roll
I'll get along as long as a song is strung in my soul!)
In my soul!

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!

Alright For An Hour


Alright For An Hour
Composer(s): Jessie Ed Davis - Rod Stewart
Performer(s): Rod Stewart



Oh, didn't I mess around like ev'rybody did?
I said, "Woman, you're foolin' around with a man that just don't fit"
I said, "I'd better get along before I get right under your skin"
Remember the song, wasn't it fun, 'cause it was just one of those things

But it was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day
But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend
and I packed my bags and moved right away

I said goodbye to money, I don't owe no alimony
I paid my dues and payroll cues, gonna leave it all up to you
I'll take my dog and my car, the best friends I've found so far
and I'll keep goin' with the mornin' sun, singin' the same old song

But it was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day
But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend
and I packed my bags and moved right away

Well I guess you needed somebody to open each and ev'ry door
With a large amount in the Swiss account to give you thrills and nothing more
But my Volkswagen is hardly a custom built Ferarri
You want firstclass but I pump gas, so I'll get on out of your way

But it was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day
But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend
and I packed my bags and moved right away
It was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day
But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend
and I packed my bags and moved right away

Within You Without You


Within You Without You
Composer(s): George Harrison
Original Performers: The Beatles
Covered by various other artists



We were talking
about the space between us all
and people who hide themselves
behind a wall of illusion
never glimpse the truth
then it's far too late
when they pass away

We were talking
about the love we all could share
When we find it
to try our best to hold it there
with our love, with our love
we could save the world
if they only knew

Try to realize it's all within yourself
no one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
and life flows on within you and without you

We were talking
about the love that's gone so cold
and the people who gain the world
and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see
Are you one of them

When you've seen beyond yourself
then you may find
peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come
when you see we're all one
and life flows on within you and without you

Already Gone


Already Gone
Composer(s): Jack Tempchin - Robert Strandlund
First release by: Eagles - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
and they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you and you soon find out it's true
and then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself

'Cause I'm already gone
and I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
Woo-hoo-hoo-o, my my, woo-hoo-hoo-o

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
but I guess you felt like you had to set things right
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
you can see the stars and still not see the light, that's right

And I'm already gone
and I'n feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
Woo-hoo-hoo-o, my my, woo-hoo-hoo-o

Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains
and we never even know we have the key

But me, I'm already gone
and I'm feelin' strong
I will sing, I will sing this vict'ry song
'cause I'm already gone

Yes, I'm already gone
and I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
'cause I'm already gone

Yes, I'm already gone
already gone Alright
already gone
already gone ...

Don't know what's happened to me since I met you
Feels like I'm fallin' in love since I met you

I want to know what-cha doin' to me with you love
(With your love) what-cha doing' to me with your love
(With your love) what-cha doing' to me with your love

Whatever it is
Knew from the start it had to be you
You got my heart

With your love
Heaven sent me a sign that sent you
I'm going out of my mind since I met you

I wanna know whatever it is now, whatever it is
Whatever it's called
I know that it's you
I can't help getting involved with your love

I wanna know whatever you did to me
Well you sure did it good

My heart's filled with lovin and I knew that it would
With your love
You don't know what's happened to me
Since I met you
I feel like I'm fallin' in love since I met you

Alquien Que Ve Mas Lejos


Alquien Que Ve Mas Lejos
Composer(s): Adrián Abonizio
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Sirena del río, te busco
andando en la noche, te siento
Sirena de luna
vos estás antes que todo
Te pido una cosa, hacé que te vea
antes de que me vaya
antes de que me muera
Sirena del faro, tu luna
no es la misma luna de los mortales
Perdí las estrellas, jugando a los dados
y en la mesa del Diablo y ahora no tengo nada
Sirena del tiempo, tu tiempo
es cosa en el agua, se escapa
Atále un dorado, un hilo de tanza
a mi corazón, él no sabe nada
menos de guerra, mi corazón es de playa
Mi corazón solitario
Sirena, sirena, mi mamá
dejó su atadura, hace poco
Guiala en la noche
sílbale bajito, ayúdale
Es como una niña, le basta el reflejo
para levantar vuelo y allá nos encontramos
Sirena del río, te busco
andando en la noche, te siento
Sirena de luna
vos estabas antes de todo
te pido una cosa, hacé que te vea
antes de que me vaya
antes de que me muera
Mi corazón es de playa
y ahora no veo nada
y allá nos encontraremos
que allá nos encontraremos
que allá nos encontraremos

With You There To Help Me


With You There To Help Me
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



In days of peace
sweet smelling summer nights
of wine and song
dusty pavements burning feet
Why am I crying, I want to know
How can I smile and make it right?
For sixty days and eighty nights
and not give in and lose the fight

I'm going back to the ones that I know
with whom I can be what I want to be
Just one week for the feeling to go
and with you there to help me
then it probably will

I won't go down
acting the same old play
Give sixty days for just one night
Don't think I'd make it: but then I might

I'm going back to the ones that I know
with whom I can be what I want to be
Just one week for the feeling to go
and with you there to help me
then it probably will

Alors Reviens-Moi


Alors Reviens-Moi
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



S'il te reste un mot d'amour
Un je t'aime, un toujours
Oublié au fond de toi
S'il subsiste que de nous deux
Juste un rêve un coin de ciel bleu
Alors reviens-moi

S'il te reste au fond du cœur
Une flamme, une flamme
Qui survie malgré le froid
Qui est tombé sur nos vies
Par ma faute, par ma folie
Alors reviens-moi

Oui reviens-moi
J'ai appris à t'aimer
De nuages en nuages
Aveuglément j'ai cherché loin de toi
Je ne sais quel soleil
Mais dans le ciel nuit et jour
Une fée dessinait ton visage
Et c'était toi toujours toi
Que mes mains cherchaient au réveil
Alors reviens-moi

S'il te reste malgré tout
Un rien que le tendre fou
N'ai pu arracher de toi
Une larme ou un frisson
Quelques notes d'une chanson
Alors reviens-moi

Oui reviens-moi
J'ai appris à t'aimer
De nuages en nuages
Aveuglément j'ai cherché loin de toi
Je ne sais quel soleil
Mais dans le ciel nuit et jour
Une fée dessinait ton visage
Et c'était toi toujours toi
Que mes mains cherchaient au réveil
Alors reviens-moi

S'il te reste un mot d'amour
Un je t'aime pour toujours
Oublier au fond de toi
S'il te reste une raison
De ne pas maudire non non
Alors reviens-moi

With You In Mind (Marianne Faithful)


With You In Mind
Composer(s): Jackie DeShannon
Performer(s): Marianne Faithful



I'll take a walk all by myself
So I can think of nothing else
But loving you when we find time
These are the things I'll do with you in mind
I'll pick a rose and feel the thorn
Every day that you are gone
A new memory to live I'll find
These are the things I'll do with you in mind
There'll come a day when I can live
To go and bring you back to me
We'll dance and sing and toast someone
There are the things I'll do with you in mind
There are the things I'll do with you in mind

Alors Raconte


Alors Raconte
Composer(s): Jean Broussolle - Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud; Les Compagnons de la Chanson; Gérard Darmon



Mais enfin, il devrait être là
Il devrait être déjà de retour, c'est pas possible
Oui, il devrait être revenu
Entre vous et moi, je crois qu'elle a du l'enlever
Ah oui?
Mais oui, grande comme elle est!
Oui, c'est possible
Le voilà, le voilà, il arrive!

Alors?
Salut!
Raconte nous!
Vous pouvez pas savoir
Ce qui est arrivé
Comment ça c'est passé
Pendant qu'on t'attendait là?
Alors? Tu ne dis rien?
Pourtant tu pourrais bien
Penser à tes copains
Penser à mes copains
Bien sûr
Parler du rendez-vous, c'est ça hein?
Qu'elle m'avait donné

Elle, écoute, elle est arrivée
Je la voyais qui marchait, qui marchait
Qui marchait devant moi
Qui marchait devant toi
Elle, elle s'est retournée
M'a regardé, regardée, regardée
Comme si j'étais le bon Dieu
Comme si t'étais le bon Dieu?
Toi le bon Dieu?
Parfaitement, parfaitement
Moi, moi je n'ai rien fait
Alors là tu as eu tort
Parce que moi à ta place
Car dans mon cœur
Ça tournait, ça tournait
Ça tournait, ça tournait
Ça tournait?
Mmmm Mmmm
Mais ça n'a pas tourné
Pendant toute la soirée
Si!
À moins que tu l'aies valsée tout la soirée
Un, deux, trois, un, deux, trois, non!
Jaloux!
Alors, raconte!
Tu nous avais promis de ne rien nous cacher
Pendant toute une nuit
Oh, tout de suite, tout de suite là!
Tu as dû t'amuser

Elle, elle a pris ma main
Et dans sa main qui tremblait, qui tremblait
Elle a posé sa joue
Elle a posé sa joue
Moi j'avais mon front
Dans ses cheveux
Qui dansaient, qui dansaient
Qui dansaient dans le vent
Qui dansaient dans le vent
On m'avait dit qu'elle était chauve?
À c'est pas la même, c'est pas la même
Comme il faisait froid
Je l'ai serrée, tant serrée, tant serrée
Tant serrée, tant serrée
Alors?
On rêvait
C'est du joli
On rêvait qu'on s'aimait
Mais ça n'a pas duré tu sais
Ça dure jamais, je connais
J'ai senti qu'il fallait, fallait se décider
Aaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!

Je, je l'ai emmenée
On s'est cachés, bien cachés, bien cachés
Sous un coin de ciel bleu
Sous un coin de ciel bleu
Là, j'ai vu mon nom
Près de son nom qui brillait, qui brillait
Qui brillait dans la nuit
Qui brillait dans la nuit
Oh oui!
Mais, mais, mais pour la quitter
Comment déjà?
Ben oui
J'ai dû penser que demain
Mmmm?
Ou après
Mmmm Mmmm
J'oserais
Quoi?
L'embrasser!
Non, monsieur non, on attend trois heures
C'est une honte honteuse
Moi j'trouve ça scandaleux

Composer(s): Allen Toussaint
Original Performer: Frankie Miller
Covered by various other artists



With you in mind, things just ain't bad as they seem
With you in mind, I can fill my wildest dreams
With you in mind, I can do anything, I know I can
With you in mind
With you in mind

With you in mind, I went out looking for the best
With you in mind, cause you deserve nothing less
With you in mind, I've done so many things that love can bring
With you in mind
With you in mind

Like a flower drinking from the falling rain
Or the same rain that could wash it away
Gives it strength, gives it water
And before you know, another day

Like a flower drinking from the falling rain
Or the same rain that could wash it away
Gives it strength, gives it water
And before you know, another day

Like a flower drinking from the falling rain
The same rain that could wash it away
Gives it strength, gives it water
And before you know, another day

Alors Qu'est-Ce Que C'est?
((English Version: Harmour Love (by Syreeta Wright))
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoé - Claude Lemesle - Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



C'est un mot, c'est un jeu
C'est nouveau, c'est très vieux
On en rit, on en pleure
On en vit, on en meurt
C'est gaulois, c'est romain
C'est chinois, c'est germain
Et tout le monde ici le sait, alors
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

À l'école, la sentence
En parole, en parlant
Ephémère, éternelle
C'est l'enfer ou le ciel
En Marlène, en Margot
En verlan, en argot
Et tout le monde ici le sait, alors
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

C'est à toi, c'est à moi
Et ça nous plaît
Et tout le monde ici le sait, alors
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

C'est joli et ça porte pour moi un nom de fille
C'est la vie et ça porte pour toi un nom d'enfant
C'est plus fort que toutes les solitudes de la ville
C'est encore ce qu'on a fait de mieux depuis longtemps

C'est Juliette et Tristan
Marinette et Adam
Le serpent et la pomme
Les souris et les hommes
C'est Venise et Capri
C'est Denise et Marie
Et tout le monde ici le sait, alors
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

C'est le vent, c'est la gloire
Le roman et l'histoire
Cléopâtre et Bardot
Henri IV et Ino
C'est un mot, c'est un dieu
C'est très beau, c'est par deux
Et tout le monde ici le sait, alors
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

C'est à toi, c'est à moi
Et on s'y plait
Et tout le monde ici le sait, alors
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

C'est joli et ça porte pour moi un nom de fille
C'est la vie et ça porte pour toi un nom d'enfant
C'est plus fort que toutes les solitudes de la ville
C'est encore ce qu'on a fait de mieux depuis longtemps

It's so bright, it's a light
It's a so out of sight
It's a feelin' all right
Morning, noon or night
It's the best thing in life
That you don't have to buy
It's a funny funny feelin'
Down in your heart

It's so neat, it's a treat
It's a somethin' that's sweet
It's the one thing in life
That will never be beat
It's the one sits inside
And loses the key
That's that funny funny feelin'
Down in your heart

It's a love, it's a love, it's a love
It's the funny funny feelin'
Down in your heart

Let it into your heart
And you'll feel this funny feelin'
Let it in, then together
We'll join in harmour love
Let it in, for the beat of your heart
Will keep the rhythm
Let it smile on the outside
And sing in harmour love

Oh Joe, it's a pen, it's a friend
It's a how have you been
It's a I'm lookin' forward
To seeing you again
It's a laugh, it's a grin
It's a let it begin
It's that funny funny feelin'
Down in your heart

It's a walk through the park
It's a kiss in the dark
It's a vow made by two
That they never will part
It's the spark that you feelin'
From the moment it starts
Known as that funny funny feelin'
Down in your heart

Alors Je Dérive


Alors Je Dérive
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



La la la la la la
Je suis bien
Écrasée contre ton cœur
La la la la la la
Ne dis rien
Laisse parler le bonheur
Car les mots que l'on dit en amour
Sont sans importance
La la la la la la
Jusqu'au jour
Gardons le silence

Pour que je dérive
Au cours de l'amour
Et baigne en eau profonde
Comme une algue
Au fleuve du temps
Je file au gré de l'onde
Je dérive
Étant tour à tour
Lorsque nos deus cœurs s'affolent
Au creux de la vague
À la proue du vent
Sans dire une parole

La la la la la la
dans la nuit
Toi et moi ne ferons qu'un
La la la la la la
Loin du bruit
Jusqu'aux lueurs du matin
Les mots qu'en amour on dit nouveaux
Sont toujours les mêmes
La la la la la la
Quand ta peau
Murmure je t'aime
Alors je dérive
