I Do, Do You?


I Do, Do You?
Composer(s): Lou Quadling
Performer(s): Dinah Shore



I do, do you?
Do you believe in love?
I never did before, but now I do
Whenever you're near me
I thrill with happiness
And if that isn't love I miss my guess
Oh yes, I do, do you?
Do you believe it's love?
What else could bring an angel down to earth?
When you're in my arms
I weaken with each caress
Oh yes, I do, do you?

Whenever you're near me
I thrill with happiness
And if that isn't love I miss my guess
Oh yes, I do, do you?
Do you believe it's love?
What else could bring an angel down to earth?
When you're in my arms
I weaken with each caress
Oh yes, I do, do you?

Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair


Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair
(aka I Dream Of Jeannie With The Light Brown Hair)
Composer(s): Stephen Foster
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and multiple other artists



I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair
Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air
I see her tripping where the bright streams play
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way

Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er
Oh! I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair
Floating, like a vapor, on the soft, summer air

I long for Jeannie with the day dawn smile
Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile
I hear her melodies, like joys gone by
Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die

Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain
Wailing for the lost one that comes not again
Oh! I long for Jeannie, and my heart bows low
Never more to find her where the bright waters flow

I sigh for Jeannie, but her light form strayed
Far from the fond hearts round her native glade
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone

Now the nodding wild flow'rs may wither on the shore
While her gentle fingers will cull them no more
Oh! I sigh for Jeannie with the light brown hair
Floating like a vapor, on the soft summer air

I Do Not Know A Day I Did Not Love You


I Do Not Know A Day I Did Not Love You
Composer(s): Martin Charnin; Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Tony Bennett; Michael Jovovich



I do not know a day I did not love you
I can't remember love not being there
The planting when the earth ran through your fingers
The harvest when the sun danced in your hair

I do not know a day I did not need you
For sharing every moment that I spent
I needed you before I ever knew you
Before I knew what needing someone meant

And if we ever were to have tomorrow
One fact alone is full and filled with song
You will not know a day I do not love you
The way that I have loved you all our lives

Jeannie


Jeannie
Composer(s): Buddy Kaye; Hugo Montenegro
Performer(s): Hugo Montenegro; Flip Phillips



Jeannie, fresh as a daisy
Just love how she obeys me
Does things that just amaze me so

She smiles, Presto the rain goes
She blinks, up come the rainbows
Cars stop, even the train goes slow

When she goes by she paints sunshine on every rafter
Sprinkles the air with laughter
We're close as a quarter after three

There's no one like Jeannie
I'll introduce her
To you, but it's no use, sir
'Cause my Jeannie's in love with me

Jeanne Martin


Jeanne Martin
Composer(s): Georges Brassens; Jean Bertola
Performer(s): Georges Brassens



La petite presqu'île
Où jadis, bien tranquille
Moi je suis né natif
Soit dit sans couillonnade
Avait le nom d'un ad-
jectif démonstratif

Moi, personnellement
Que je meur' si je mens
Ça m'était bien égal
J'étais pas chatouillé
J'étais pas humilié
Dans mon honneur local

Mais voyant d' l'infamie
Dans cette homonymie
Des bougres s'en sont plaints
Tellement que bientôt
On a changé l'ortho-
graph' du nom du pat'lin

Et j'eus ma première tristesse d'Olympio
Déférence gardée envers le père Hugo

Si faire se peut
Attendez un peu
Messieurs les édiles
Que l'on soit passé
Pour débaptiser
Nos petites villes

La chère vieille rue
Où mon père avait cru
On ne peut plus propice
D'aller construire sa
Petite maison s'a-
ppelait rue de l'Hospice

Se mettre en quête d'un
Nom d' rue plus opportun
Ne se concevait pas
On n' pouvait trouver mieux
Vu qu'un asile de vieux
Florissait dans le bas

Les anciens combattants
Tous comme un seul, sortant
De leurs vieux trous d'obus
Firent tant qu'à la fin
La rue d' l'Hospic' devint
La rue Henri Barbusse

Et j'eus ma deuxième tristesse d'Olympio
Déférence gardée envers le père Hugo

Si faire se peut
Attendez un peu
Héros incongrus
Que l'on soit passé
Pour débaptiser
Nos petites rues

Moi, la première à qui
Mon cœur fut tout acquis
S'app'lait Jeanne Martin
Patronyme qui fait
Pas tellement d'effet
Dans le bottin mondain

Mais moi j'aimais comme un
Fou ce nom si commun
N'en déplaise aux minus
D'ailleurs, de parti pris
Celle que je chéris
S'appell' toujours Vénus

Hélas un béotien
A la place du sien
Lui proposa son blase
Fameux dans l'épicerie
Et cette renchérie
Refusa pas, hélas!

Et j'eus ma troisième tristesse d'Olympio
Déférence gardée envers le père Hugo

Si faire se peut
Attendez un peu
Cinq minutes, non?
Gentes fiancées
Que l'on soit passé
Pour changer de nom

Stop Leading Me On


Stop Leading Me On
Composer(s): Parker - Wright
Performer(s): The Precisions



You're leading me on
Oh, why must this be
You're leading me on
Don't play with my heart this way
If you don't love me, then tell me so
And stop leading me on, and let me go, oh-oh-ooh

All my dreams are not the same
You're leading me on
It fills my heart with pain
If you don't love me, then tell me so
And this leading me on will be no more

I thought my love meant something to you (doo-be-doo-be-doo)
And that our love was pure and true (aah-aah-aah-aah-aah)
I made a foolish mistake
And I was falling so deeply over you

So, look in my eyes and tell me (I love you so)
This is something I must know (I must know)
If you don't love me anymore
Stop leading me on and let me go, woh-oh-oh

And let me go
(Stop leading me on)

Límites


Límites
Composer(s): Pablo Guerrero - Pedro Navarrete
Performer(s): Luz Casal



En la ciudad
el pulso de la soledad
Detrás de tí
la noche larga de abril
Puedes tocar
cometas en la oscuridad
Alrededor
siempre es presente en el reloj
Amanecer
tu luz al nacer
Allá en el sur
el cielo añade laminas de azul

Y ésta claridad
te hace pensar
que no tiene límites tu cuerpo
ni orillas el mar
Todo está aquí
con ritmo y Música feliz
Aquí la unión
de lo creado con la creación
Sombras se van
sentidos a la libertad
Fuego y metal
aire que gira sobre el mar
Amanecer
tu luz al nacer
Allá en le sur
el cielo añade láminas de luz

Y esta claridad
te hace pensar
que no tiene límites tu cuerpo
ni orillas el mar

Jeanne


Jeanne
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens; Renaud



Chez Jeanne, la Jeanne
Son auberge est ouverte aux gens sans feu ni lieu
On pourrait l'appeler l'auberge de Bon Dieu
S'il n'en existait déjà une
La dernière où l'on peut entrer
Sans frapper, sans montrer patte blanche

Chez Jeanne, la Jeanne
On est n'importe qui, on vient n'importe quand
Et, comme par miracle, par enchantement
On fait partie de la famille
Dans son cœur, en s'poussant un peu
Reste encore une petite place

La Jeanne, la Jeanne
Elle est pauvre et sa table est souvent mal servie
Mais le peu qu'on y trouve assouvit pour la vie
Par la façon qu'elle le donne
Son pain ressemble à du gâteau
Et son eau à du vin comme deux gouttes d'eau

La Jeanne, la Jeanne
On la paie quand on peut des prix mirobolants
Un baiser sur son front ou sur ses cheveux blancs
Un semblant d'accord de guitare
L'adresse d'un chat échaudé
Ou d'un chien tout crotté comm' pourboire

La Jeanne, la Jeanne
Dans ses ros's et ses choux n'a pas trouvé d'enfant
Qu'on aime et qu'on défend contre les quatre vents
Et qu'on accroche à son corsage
Et qu'on arrose avec son lait
D'autres qu'elle en seraient tout's chagrines

Mais Jeanne, la Jeanne
Ne s'en soucie pas plus que de colin-tampon
Etre mère de trois poulpiquets, à quoi bon
Quand elle est mère universelle
Quand tous les enfants de la terre
De la mer et du ciel sont à elle

I Do It For Your Love


I Do It For Your Love
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon
and multiple other artists



We were married on a rainy day
The sky was yellow
And the grass was grey
We signed the papers
And we drove away
I do it for your love

The rooms were musty
And the pipes were old
All that winter we shared a cold
Drank all the orange juice
That we could hold
I do it for your love

Found a rug
In an old junk shop
And I brought it home to you
Along the way the colours ran
The orange bled the blue

The sting of reason
The splash of tears
The northern and the southern
hemisphere
Love emerges and it disappears
I do it for your love
I do it for your love

Please give me peace of mind
Ooh, ooh, say you’ll be mine
Come rain or shine

And when I kiss you
Just say I do now

Love you, oh, baby

You’re as sweet as old cherry wine
Ooh, ooh, like an angel
Oh, baby, you’re so fine

My whole life through now
Oh, just say I do-do-do
Love you, oh, baby

There are many ways of saying I love you (I love you)
But any word from you is good enough for me
Too many hearts now has been bleeding
And if mine is one, if mine is one
It wants to be, it wants to be, oh, baby, oh, baby

Each night of my dream
Ooh, ooh, I’m a king
My darling, you’re my queen

To Ev'ry Girl - To Ev'ry Boy


To Ev'ry Girl - To Ev'ry Boy
Composer(s): Jerry Samuels - Barry Parker
Performer(s): Johnnie Ray



To ev'ry girl, to ev'ry boy
Whose empty heart has known no joy
This emptiness is part of your love story
Till you know the meaning of love
To ev'ry one who feels afraid
It's only Life that's on parade
And Life may bring you tears, in place of glory
Till you know the meaning of love
There may be pain
There may be misery
All this may be
Along with ecstacy
Don't think these things are far above you
It's always so, when someone loves you
Your day will come, Your eyes will shine
And you will cry, "This love is mine!"
And suddenly your heart will tell you
You know the meaning of love!

Staying Young


Staying Young
Composer(s): Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Walter Pidgeon
and multiple other artists



Damn, damn, damn!

A man is a fool to lose his temper
He plays right into the hand of his opponent
If a man perturbs the nerves that should be placid
Only stodges turn to acid

As they say in Christian Science, "Rise above it!"
Should an elephant be panicked by an ant
That's why a man's a fool to lose his temper
Over a miserable son-of-a-..., like that

Imagine that, that squeeky little rat
What an evil mind a man must have to make him so suspicious
His little angel with her turned up spout
I'll bet a lump of butter wouldn't melt in her mouth
My son Richard doesn't know the score yet
I'll bet Richard doesn't even know what girls are for yet

I should have taken that Macomber by the neck
Wiped up the porch with him
Dumped him in the grass
Punched him in the nose

I'm glad I'm not yet an old like that
And wind up losin' my hold like that
Should the truth be known
He's resentful of the young
'Cause he's over the hill, lookin' back
And his hindsight's all out o' wack

I'm glad I'm not yet an old like that
And wind up losin' my hold like that

The moon has a few new wrinkles
It shines a bit more silver now than gold
I'm stayin' young, I'm stayin' young
But everyone around me's growin' old

When life only rains in sprinkles
You've got to gather all your hands can hold
I'm stayin' young, I'm stayin' young
But everyone around me's growin' old

While love is still my jewel of recollection
No Valentine too 'fraid and frail to fold
So I'll go my heart's direction
My story's in the telling, not the told
I'm stayin' young, I'm stayin' young
It's wonderful the way I hold my own
When everything surrounding me has grown so old


Reprise:

The Moon has a few new wrinkles
It shines a bit more silver now than gold
I'm stayin' young, I'm stayin' young
But everything around me's growin' old

The house has the creaks and trembles
And winter leaves her shiverin' from cold
I'm stayin' young, I'm stayin' young
It's wonderful the way I hold my own
When everything surrounding me has grown so old

My Wife, she's gettin' old
I watch her when she walks and I feel a little ache
It really is amazing all the changes time can make
She asks me every day, "Is my hair getting grey?"
And I look, but just a bit beyond
And I say, "Hah, not grey, Dear, it's blonde"

I seek not for praise, but I have some days
When I look so young and sporty
I get looks from girls, from sweet things in curls
Some of them as young as forty

When I meet some friend or neighbour
I say it out of common decency
I always say, "Why, you ain't changed a day"
And then I have to laugh if they agree
'Cause everybody else is growin' old... like me!

I Do (Johnny Maestro)


I Do
Composer(s): Bert Keyes; Billy Dawn Smith
Performer(s): Johnny Maestro & The Crests



Little girl, I love you dearly
Won't you love me too

Will you take this young man for thee
Will you give your love eternally
If you want my heart say we'll never part
Say I do, say I do, I do

Will you always promise to obey
When I ask for kisses everyday
If you want to see just what love can be
Say I do, say I do

If you know of any reason why
We shouldn't be together
It will surely make me cry
For I need your love forever

But if you take this ring I offer you
Then I'll know for sure your love is true
No one could adore, ever love you more
Than I do, than I do
