If (Bread)


If
Composer(s): David Gates
Performer(s): Bread



If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you
You're all that's left me too
And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me

If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away

Keep Your Last Goodnight For Me


Keep Your Last Goodnight For Me
Composer(s): Fred Ahlert; Roy Turk
Performer(s): Al Bowlly; Henry Hall & His Orch.



One, two, three, four, Dear, it's very late
And the party soon will be no more

Tell your friends, Dear, everything was great
I'll be waiting in the garden for you

Bid everyone goodnight, but I beg of you
Keep your last goodnight for me

I want to say goodnight walking home with you
Where the moon alone can see.

You say there isn't any other
Then won't you let me take you home to Mother

Bid everyone goodnight, but when you are through
Keep your last goodnight for me

You'll Remember Me


You'll Remember Me
Composer(s): Arthur Hamilton - Stan Worth
Performer(s): Peggy Lee; Shawn Elliott



You can slam the door, you can walk away
You can tear up my notes and my photograph
You can tear my heart in half if it makes you laugh
But I guarantee, you'll remember me
I was part of you once, and I'll always be

Remember me, I taught you how to find love
First love, happy love and blind love
Now you're leaving me behind, love
But part of me will always be part of you

You'll remember me, you'll remember me
When you kiss someone new, you'll remember me
And when someone touches you, gently touches you
You'll remember me, yes, and then you'll see
What it's like to make love to a memory

Remember me, I taught you how to find love
First love, happy love and blind love
Now you're leaving me behind, love
But part of me will always be part of you

I can say good-bye, I can set you free
But as long as you live, you'll remember me

Remember me, I taught you how to find love
First love, happy love and blind love
Now you're leaving me behind, love
But I am part of you now, and you'll remember me

If (Bernard Lavilliers)


If
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



Si tu veux voir détruit l'ouvrage de ta vie
Et sans dire un seul mot te mettre à rebâtir
Ou perdre d'un seul coup le gain de cent parties
Sans un geste et sans un soupir

Si tu peux être amant sans être fou d'amour
Si tu peux être fort sans cesser d'être tendre
Et, te sentant hais, sans haïr à ton tour
Pourtant lutter et te défendre

Si tu peux supporter d'entendre tes paroles
Travesties par des gueux pour qu'existent des sots
Et d'entendre mentir sur toi leurs bouches folles
Sans mentir toi-même d'un mot

Si tu peux rester digne en étant populaire
Si tu peux rester peuple en conseillant les rois
Et si tu peux aimer tous tes amis en frère
Sans qu'aucun d'eux soit tout pour toi

Si tu sais méditer, observer et connaître
Sans jamais devenir sceptique ou destructeur
Rêver, mais sans laisser ton rêve être ton maître
Penser sans n'être qu'un penseur

Si tu peux être dur sans jamais être en rage
Si tu peux être brave et jamais imprudent
Si tu sais être bon, si tu sais être sage
Sans être moral ni pédant

Si tu peux rencontrer triomphe après défaite
Et recevoir ces deux menteurs d'un même front
Si tu peux conserver ton courage et ta tête
Quand tous les autres les perdront

Alors les Rois, les Dieux, la Chance et la Victoire
Seront à tout jamais tes esclaves soumis
Et, ce qui vaut mieux que les Rois et la Gloire
Tu seras un homme, mon fils

Keepin' The Summer Alive


Keepin' The Summer Alive
Composer(s): Brian Wilson; Randy Bachman
Performer(s): The Beach Boys; Adam Marsland



When it's ice cream weather get the gang back together
Roll down your windows and ride
They'll be sleepin' in the sand dunes dancin' in the streets
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive

They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(sum sum summer ah live)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(ah keep the summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive

They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive

When it's ice cream weather all the girls will look better
The boys try to give them a ride
To the one last party 'fore the school bell rings
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive

They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(sum sum summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(sum sum summer)
They're just tryin' to keep t alive)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(alive)

Lay down in the sun
And watch the clouds roll by
And bein' with the one you love
In the summertime

When it's last September back in school we'll remember
The cure for the wintertime blues
Grab your girl hit the road head on down to the beach
You'll be comin' home with sand in your shoes

They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(sum sum summer )
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(sum sum summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive

Gimme A Little Kiss, Will Ya, Huh?


Gimme A Little Kiss, Will Ya, Huh?
Composer(s): Jack Smith - Maceo Pinkard - Roy Turk
Performer(s): Dean Martin
and multiple other artists



Gimme a little kiss, will 'ya', huh?
What are you gonna miss, will ya, huh?
Gosh, oh, gee, why do you refuse?
I can't see what you gotta lose

Oh, gimme a little squeeze, will 'ya', huh?
Why do you wanna make me blue?

I wouldn't say a word if I were asking for the world
But what's a little kiss between a fellow and his girl?
Oh, gimme a little kiss, will 'ya', huh?
And I'll give it right back to you

Will 'ya' huh? Will 'ya' huh?

Once again a plea I'm gonna make
But tell me when do I get a break
'Cause say that you're givin' in, will 'ya' huh?
Anything that you ask I'll do

I'll take you for a little ride where we can be alone
And once you kiss me you'll never think of walkin' home

Oh, gimme a little kiss, will 'ya' huh?
Or I'll steal about ten, yes, steal about ten
Steal about ten from you

Ieri si, da giovane
Il gusto della vita, io lo bruciavo in me
Oh ieri si, quand'ero giovane perche'
La fiamma trema un po' ma non si spegne mai...

Vivevo tutti i giorni che il cuore suggeriva
Avevo dei castelli che ora non ho piu'
La notte poi cercavo il sole intorno a me
E non vedevo il tempo consumarsi con me...

Ieri si, da giovane cantavo le canzoni
Piu' facili per me e nelle mie mani
Io credevo che, ci fosse gia' il filo dell'eternita'

Io non chiedevo mai, agli altri intorno a me
Qual'e' la verita' la vita che cos'e'
Credevo nelle cose che dicevo io
Pensavo solo a me e a tutto il resto no...

Ieri si, da giovane
La luce di ogni giorno portava una pazzia
La forza dell'eta' riempiva i giorni miei
E non vedevo mai il vuoto che c'e' in lei..

I giochi dell'amore, io li ho giocati tutti
Ho fatto dell'orgoglio la prima mia virtu'
Gli amici sono andati non torneranno piu'
La mia commedia ormai da solo finiro'

Ho ancora una canzone ma non la cantero'
Il gusto della vita non lo ritrovero'
E' il tempo di pagare gli errori miei di ieri
Da giovane...

Keeping Secrets


Keeping Secrets
Composer(s): Alan Pasqua; Todd Sharp
Performer(s): Christine McVie



You walk into my life
With heartache on your mind
It's got me wondering about you
The playful innuendo
I'm tired of playing games
What I see through my window
Looks the same

Chorus:
Why are we keeping secrets
Why don't we both come clean and begin
I don't have the heart to hurt again
Why are we keeping secrets
Why don't we both come closer again
We're keeping secrets
We're keeping secrets

I don't like playing detective
Still I keep finding clues
We got to stop pretending
And pay the dues
Now I can see it coming
The writing's on the wall
We've got to stop this running
Before we fall
No, I don't wanna fall

Chorus

Half-way Down The Street


Half-way Down The Street
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



Just a-halfway down the street is where we used to meet, to do our dreaming
It was just a vacant lot, but what a lovely spot when stars were gleaming
There wasn't too much room there, and roses weren't in bloom there
But it still was mighty sweet, just halfway down the street
By a sign that says For Sale, we wove a fairy tale, but kept it quiet
We were dreaming of the day, we could step right up and say
We'll buy it
Just by way of showing you that fairy tales come true
We'll show you one that all came true
If you'll visit us someday, in our cottage halfway down the street

Když jsem já byl tenkrát kluk
to znely písne líp a sladší mely zvuk
a hráli jsme je tak, co stacil dech a hlas
já tehdy ješte žák - v ten požehnanej cas...

To ryby braly víc, byl veselejší smích
a v léte vetší hic a v zime cistší sníh
i stromy rostly vejš k tem bílejm kaderím
a v sen jsem veril, v nejž kdy sotva uverím

Když jsem já byl tenkrát kluk
to znely písne líp a sladší mely zvuk
a reky byly cistý, tak jak jsem je znal
a zelenejší listí, tráva a tak dál...

A delší bejval den a závaznejší slib
a ruce krásných žen me hladívaly líp
a kde je dneska asfalt, tam byl tehdy jíl
škoda, že jsem, co jsem a kluk, že jsem už byl...

A delší bejval den a závaznejší slib
a ruce krásných žen me hladívaly líp
kam odnes bílej šíf cas moruší a slív,
co bejval drív...

Když jsem já byl tenkrát kluk
to znely písne líp a sladší mely zvuk
a hráli jsme je tak, co stacil dech a hlas
já tehdy ješte žák - v ten požehnanej cas...

A delší bejval den a závaznejší slib
a ruce krásných žen me hladívaly líp
a tam, kde je dnes asfalt, tam byl tehdy jíl
škoda, že jsem, co jsem a kluk, že jsem už byl...

Keith Don't Go (Ode To The Glimmer Twin)


Keith Don't Go (Ode To The Glimmer Twin)
Composer(s): Nils Lofgren
Performer(s): Nils Lofgren



This is a right-away letter, I've got to mail it today
Straight to my main inspirer, says urgent from the USA
Its got this heart inside it, the postage is my soul
Contains a message from millions, says Keith don't go

10000 guitars wailin', but it ain't quite the same
You've got a knack for sailin', and it's stamped with your own brand name
We's all sailors, as captain you must know
You bring a message to millions, says Keith don't go

I said Keith don't go; Don't take my fun
Keith don't go; Keith don't go
We miss our father Jimi, it's hard to breathe with that loss
But I still got you brother, don't nail yourself to a cross
I watch you lead the pack, you put the drive into my soul
You bring a message to millions, says Keith don't go

Watermelon Weather


Watermelon Weather
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael - Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Perry Como
and multiple other artists



It's watermelon weather
That summer kind of weather
When people get together and sing

It's the time of year
The stars seem to dance with laughter
And the moon's so big and ripe
It can hardly climb

So, why don't you meander
To your best gal's veranda
And sorta, kinda, hand her the ring?

For it's the sweetheart kissin' season
And all the world's in rhyme
When it's watermelon sweet love tellin' time

This is the time to sing this kind of purdy little ditty
A walkin' along an' singin' a song and clinging to someone purdy
The type of a tune to go with the moon
That's sailin' along a way on high

After strollin' a while, for maybe a mile
Remember to stop and pop the question
If your timin' is right, your future is bright
As bright as a watermelon sky

And then when you found a bench for two
You found your cue to linger
The chance you sought to show what you bought
You happily thought to bring her

To cinch the thing, you give her the ring
You purchased from the five and dime

Take her in your arms and whisper
That you are mine all mine
And with that line to sell, I'm here to tell
That you'll do well in watermelon time

For it's the sweetheart kissin' season
And all the world's in rhyme
When it's watermelon sweet love tellin' time

Svijet, nas je svijet
bio plavo nebo cisto
poslije tebe
nista nece biti isto
Jos trenutak sa mnom budi
drugi dani, drugi ljudi
vec sutra bice tu
nijemi, pored nas.

Dan, nas je dan
bio samo luda igra
poslije tebe
na mom licu prva briga
Ti jos nista nisi rekla
ali suza vec je pekla
i sutra bices ti sama
k'o i ja.

Juce jos, juce jos
nismo znali sta nas ceka
jer je nosila nas rijeka
juce jos, ja i ti

Juce jos, juce jos
kako godine prolete
ti si bila samo dijete
juce jos, juce jos

Juce jos, juce jos
nisam znao sto su suze
al' mi ljubav neko uze
juce jos, ja i ti

Juce jos, juce jos
ali blizila se zima
pramen magle, pramen dima
juce jos, juce jos.....

Tony Kelling & The Graduates; Daniel O'Donnell



Kelly and I meet secretly
We stay out of sight
When we're in each others arms
We know it isn't right

We are so in love
But he loves you too
How can I tell my best friend
That I'm in love with you

He's told me of your sweet caress
And of your lovely eyes
Just how long can we go on
Telling him all these lies

We are so in love
But he loves you too
How can I tell my best friend
That I'm in love with you

Oh, Kelly, please, please tell me
We gotta find a way
Tell me what can we say
Oh, Kelly

He's coming home tomorrow
He's been gone so long
We could get away tonight
To run would be so wrong

We are so in love
But he loves you too
How can I tell my best friend
That I'm in love with you

Oh, Kelly, please, please tell me
We gotta find a way
Tell me what can we say
Oh, Kelly
Oh, Kelly
Oh, Kelly
Oh....... Fade

Gestern war das Leben neu
Der Blick ins erste Licht
der Welt noch ohne Scheu
Die ersten Schritte leicht
An meiner Mutterhand
Die Märchen waren wahr
Am Weg durchs Kinderland

Ja, gestern noch, da war
Die Nacht für uns so blau
Der erste Kuss war frisch
Wie junger Morgentau
Wie Süsse wirklich war
Wir wussten nichts davon
Wir trampen in die Wand
Und ohne Illusion

Gestern war die Welt noch weit
Wir wollten so viel tun
Und waren so bereit
Die Lieder, die wir sangen
Schienen uns so neu
Die Wege, die wir vor uns sahen
Ein Spiel im Mai

Wir hatten noch ein Ziel
Wir wollten nur weit fort
Die Angst war uns noch fremd
Und Heimweh nur ein Wort
Die Fragen und die Träume
Sagten wir dem Wind
Und dachten nicht daran
Wie schnell die Zeit errinnt

Gestern noch war alles leicht
Wir konnten nichts verlieren
Denn es war nichts erreicht
Wir waren nie allein
Das Herz lag vor uns her
Ein bunter Schmetterling
Im Sommersonnenschein

Und jeder neue Tag
War nur ein neues Spiel
Brach dann und wann ein Herz
So fragten wir nicht viel
Wir fingen vieles an
Und glaubten fest daran
Und liessen es dann sein
Ein Spielzeug und nicht mehr

Doch plötzlich sehen wir uns
Erschreckt im Licht
Das Leben scheint vorbei
Wir zahlen mit Verzicht
Und denken still dabei
Das ist der Preis für das
Was gestern war

Gestern war die Welt noch weit
Wir wollten so viel tun
Und waren so bereit
Die Fragen und die Träume
Sagten wir dem Wind
Und dachten nicht daran
Wie schnell die Zeit errinnt

Ken Je Dat Land


Ken Je Dat Land
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



Voor een land zonder strijd
Voor een hemel zonder wolken
Voor een nieuwe tijd
Zou ik de stad willen bevolken
Met mensen zonder haat of nijd

Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Met z'n hemel van kristal
Zon op wijde groene velden en iedere avond bal
Waar wij dansen

Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Ken je dat land zo ver van hier

En een leven van goud
Zonder leugens, zonder tranen
En jij die van mij houdt
Zou ik voeren door groene lanen
'k Had m'n huis van glas gebouwd

Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Geluk en vrede voor altijd
Waar we samen kunnen dwalen
Zonder tijd voor tijd, samen dwalen

Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Ken je dat land zo ver van hier

Voor de zoemende zee
Voor een glimlach zonder tanden
Voor een nieuw idee
Daar zou ik jou op bei mij handen
Voor willen dragen met me mee

Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Met dat altijd groene bos
Waar altijd de vogels zingen
En wij slapen op het mos
Zonder wapens, zonder strijden
Zonder zonden, zonder lijden
Ah, zonder haat, zonder nijd

Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Ken je dat land zo ver van hier

Ken je dat land, ken je dat land
Oh, ken je dat land zo ver van hier
Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Ken je dat land
Oh, ken je dat land zo ver van hier
Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Ken je dat land, ken je dat land
Ken je dat land zo ver van hier

They Don't Make 'Em Like That Anymore


They Don't Make 'Em Like That Anymore
Performer(s): Bobby Borchers



They don't make 'em like that anymore
Stopped makin' that model 'bout fourty-four
Skin as soft as kitten's fur
Lord, I remember makin' love to her

Warm July night, cold December dawn
She was the someone you could rely upon
Yes, she's still walking, talking to my memory
I wonder does she ever wonder, oh, what's become of me

'Cause you know, they don't make 'em like her anymore
They still make 'em like me by the score
Fools livin' in a hindsight world
Keepin' the oyster, throwin' away the pearl

Warm July night, cold December dawn
She was the someone you could rely upon
She's still walkin', talkin' to my memory
And I wonder if she ever wonders, oh, what's become of me

But you know, they don't make 'em like that anymore
Stopped makin' that model 'bout fourty-four
Skin as soft as kitten's fur
Lord, I remember makin' love to her

But they don't make 'em like that anymore
Stopped makin' that model 'bout fourty-four
Skin as soft as kitten's fur...

Iemand


Iemand
Performer(s): Ann Christy



Iemand
die met mij wil leven
die om mij iets wil geven
is er niet

Een jongen
waar is er een jongen
die zijn hart aan mij schenken wil
meer dan zomaar een kind
om een ware liefde te vinden

Iemand
die met mij wil leven
die om mij iets wil geven
is er niet

Voor die ene
alleen maar voor die ene
bewaar ik diep dat gevoel
dat groot is mijn doel

Liefde
daar leef ik voor
ik weet
ooit komt iemand die om mij geeft
iemand die voor mij leeft
Die alleen maar voor mij leeft
ja, die komt

Kentucky...
You are the dearest land outside of Heaven to me
Kentucky
I miss your laurels and your redbud trees
When I die...
I want to rest upon your graceful mountains so free
For that is....
Where God will look for me

Kentucky
I miss the old folks singing in the silvery moonlight
Kentucky
I miss the hound dogs chasing coons
I know that....
My Mother, Dad, and sweetheart are waiting for me...
Kentucky
I will be coming soon

Kentucky....
