You And I (Shirley Bassey)
You And I
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey
You and I will travel far together
We'll pursue our little star together
We'll be happy as we are together
We may never get to heaven
But it's heaven, at least to try
You and I are going on together
'Til the time we have is gone together
Watch the evening drawing on together
Growing older, growing closer
Making memories that light the sky
That only time can make
That only love can make
That only we can make
You and I
You and I are going on together
'Til the time we have is gone together
Watch the evening drawing on together
Growing older, growing closer
Making memories that light the sky
That only time can make
That only love can make
That only we can make
You and I
You and I, You and I, ...

Alfie, The Christmas Tree
Alfie, The Christmas Tree
Composer(s): John Denver - Lee Holdridge
Performer(s): John Denver
Did you ever hear the story of the Christmas tree
Who just didn't want to change the show
He liked living in the woods and playing with squirrels
He liked icicles and snow
He liked wolves and eagles and grizzly bears
And critters and creatures that crawl
Why, bugs were some of his very best friends
Spiders and ants an' all
Now that's not to say that he ever looked down
On a vision of twinkling lights
Or on mirrored bubbles and peppermint canes
And a thousand other delights
And he often had dreams of tiny reindeer
And a jolly old man in a sleigh
Full of toys and presents and wonderful things
And a story of Christmas Day
Oh, Alfie believed in Christmas alright
He was full of Christmas cheer
All of each and every day
And all throughout the year
To him it was more than a special time
Much more than a special day
It was more than a beautiful story
It was a special kind of way
You see, some folks have never heard a jingle bell ring
And they've never heard of Santa Claus
They've never heard the story of the Son of God
That made Alfie pause
Did that mean that they'd never know of peace on earth
Or the brotherhood of man
Or know how to love, or know how to give
If they can't, no one can
You see, life is a very special kind of thing
Not just for a chosen few
But for each and every living, breathing thing
Not just me and you
So when you're at Christmas prayers this year
Alfie asked me if I'd ask you
Say a prayer for the wind and the water and the wood
And those who live there too

You And I (Rick James)
You And I
Composer(s): Rick James; Art Stewart
Performer(s): Rick James
You and I
We fit together like a glove on hand
That's right
Don't you know
That I would gladly take you anywhere
You wanted to go
You and me
We are as close as three-part harmony
Wouldn't you agree
And if by chance
Our romance ended it would surely be
The end of me
Some people might say I'm infatuated
But I don't care
'Cause they really don't know
They'll never see of hear
The things I do with you
So far as I'm concerned
They all can go to hell
Woe, baby yeah
Now sing it, sugar
Do-do-do (etc.)
You and I
We'll be together til the six is nine
That's right
When you need me
I never hesitate, I always come
It's so much fun, yeah
You and I
Although we're poor
Our love has greater wealth
Than Hughes himself
And if by chance
There is an afterlife when we die
Hope it's with you and I
Repeat I
Sing it do, do, do (etc)
You and I
You and me
We'll be together eternally
Everybody on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Can you sing it on time
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody shake your body down
Everybody shake your body down
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Dance and shout
Funk yourself right out
Funk yourself right out
Funk yourself right out
We laid this groove
So you can move
On the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody shake your body down
Everybody shake your body down

Stressé
Stressé
Composer(s): Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
C'est pas tout ça mais faut qu'on se cause
Mais t'as pas l'temps faut que tu t'sauves
T'es pressée
T'es stressée
Tu passes devant moi, tu ne m'vois pas
J'te parle, tu ne m'écoutes même pas
Oppressée
T'es stressée
Y a pas que les grands de ce Monde
Qui flippent, qui sentent pas les ondes
Le stress a atteint toutes les couches de la Société
Y a peut-être encore dans le Tiers-Monde
Une famine par seconde
Mais nous on s'inquiète de grossir, faut nous materner
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
Cassé casse-tête guitare vidéo
Tue ta télé, toi tu es claustro
Je veux t'aimer
Sans stresser
On n'explique pas l'inexplicable
Comme j'sais pas faire tourner les tables
J'vais t'quitter
J'vais t'quitter
Y a pas que les grands de ce Monde
Qui flippent, qui sentent pas les ondes
Le stress a atteint toutes les couches de la Société
De la princesse au plombier
Gratte pas, le vernis peut craquer
Le Monde a besoin d'un lifting pour décompresser
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé

You And I (Queen)
You And I
Composer(s): John Deacon
Performer(s): Queen
Music is playing in the darkness
And a lantern goes swinging by
Shadows flickering
My heart's jittering
Just you and I
Not tonight
Come tomorrow
When everything's sunny and bright
No No No
Come tomorrow
Cos then we'll be waiting for the moonlight
We'll go walking in the moonlight
Walking in the moonlight
Laughter ringing in the darkness
People drinking for days gone by
Time don't mean a thing
When you're by my side
Please stay a while
You know I never could foresee the future years
You know I never could see
where life was leading me
But will we be together for ever
What will be my love, can't you see that I just don't know
No no not tonight
Come tomorrow
When everything's gonna be alright
Wait and see
If tomorrow
We'll be as happy as we're feeling tonight
We'll go walking in the moonlight
Walking in the moonlight
I can hear the music in the darkness
Floating softly to where to lie
No more questions now
Let's enjoy tonight
Just you and I
Just you and I

Streets Of London
Streets Of London
Composer(s): Ralph McTell
First release by: Ralph McTell - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages:
1973 - Straßen Unserer Stadt
2001 - Op Straat
Have you seen the old man
In the closed down market
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
Hands held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind
Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
She's no time for talking
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind
In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
The same old man sitting there on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone
So how can you tell me that you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind
Have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
In our city winter the rain cries little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world which doesn't care
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind

Zie je daar die oude man
graaiend in een vuilnisbak
zoekend naar iets bruikbaars
voor in zijn oude plastic zak
net iets teveel meegemaakt
waardoor hij dakloos is geraakt
praat in zichzelf
over hoe het vroeger was
En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat
Zie je daar dat meisje
ze is net zeventien
heeft nu al zo`n tien jaar
haar ouders niet gezien
muurtje om zich heen gebouwd
omdat ze niemand meer vertrouwt
vraag je haar naar liefde
dan noemt ze jou een prijs
En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat
Zie je daar die oude vrouw
die rustig voor de regen schuilt
deze bui is minder
dan de tranen die ze heeft gehuild
die vroeger een gezin bezat
maar later klap op klap gehad
nu sjouwt ze haar verleden
in een zelfgemaakte tas
En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat
Zie je daar die jongeman
hij is bijna al zijn tanden kwijt
hij beet zich stuk
op het vergif van deze tijd
elk uur een marteling
altijd zoekend naar één ding
kruipt eens per dag door het oog van de naald
En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat

You And I
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Maurice Gibb; Robin Gibb
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
All the man I am
You are the reason for me
You help me understand
I'll be your shelter from the rain that never ends
Girl, you've always got a friend in me
All the love we had
I should've know our love was older than the past
Throwing my life away on songs I never heard
Just the speaking of a single word
I made you die inside but you loved me
And don't believe the world
No, the world can't give us paradise
When you make your love to me
Till I just could not see the light
As long as I got you
As long as you got me
As long as we got you and I
I won't let you down
No better love will be there when you turn around
I'll be living for you till the ocean turns to sand
There will never be any man
Could love you just the way that I love you
So don't believe the world
No, the world can't give up paradise
In the eye within the storm
Just when I could not make it through the night
As long as I got you
As long as you got me
As long as we got you and I

Siehst du dort den alten Mann mit ausgetret'nen Schuh'n
schlurft er über's Pflaster, und er sieht so müde aus
Hin und wieder hält er an, nicht nur um sich auszuruh'n
denn er hat kein Ziel und auch kein Zuhaus
Doch du redest nur von Einsamkeit, und dass die Sonne für dich scheint
Komm und gib mir deine Hand, ich führe dich durch uns're Straßen
Ich zeig dir Menschen, die wircklich einsam sind
Kennst du die alte Frau, die auf dem Marktplatz steht
mit schneeweißem Haar, welke Blumen in der Hand?
Die Leute geh'n vorbei, sie merkt nicht, wie die Zeit vergeht
So steht sie jeden Tag und niemand stört sich daran
Doch du redest nur von Einsamkeit, und dass die Sonne für dich scheint
Komm und gib mir deine Hand, ich führe dich uns're Straßen
Ic zeig dir Menschen, die wircklich einsam sind
Im Bahnhofsrestaurante sitzt um ein Uhr in der Frühe
derselbe alte Mann und er sitzt ganz allei
Er ist der letzte Gast, und das Aufsteh'n macht ihm Mühe
fünf leere Stunden, fünf leere Gläser Wein
Doch du redest nur von Einsamkeit und dass die Sonne für dich scheint
Komm und gib mir deine Hand, ich führe dich durch uns're Straßen
Ich zeig dir Menschen, die wircklich einsam sind.
Siehst du dort den altenMann, mit ausgetret'nen Schuh'n
schlurft er über's Pflaster, und er sieht so müde aus
Denn in einer Welt, in der nur Jugend zählt
ist für ihn kein Platz mehr und kein Zuhaus
Doch du redest nur von Einsamkeit, und dass die Sonne für dich scheint
Komm und gib mir deine Hand, ich führe dich durch uns're Straßen
Ich eig dir Menschen, die wircklich einsam sind

Poet and musician sing the same old tune
To the sweethearts that come and go
Let your intuition aided by the moon
Tell you little things the poet doesn't know
Darling, you and I know the reason why a summer sky is blue
And we know why birds in the trees sing melodies too
And why love will grow from the first "hello" until the last "goodbye"
So to sweet romance, there is just one answer, you and I

Streets Of Laredo
Streets Of Laredo
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Faro Burke & The Dealers - 1960
and multiple other artists
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied a young cowboy wrapped up in white linen
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
"Oh beat the drums slowly and play the fife lowly
Singy the Death March as you carry me along
Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o'er me
I'm a young cowboy and know I´ve done wrong"
"I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy"
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
"Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
Got shot in the breast and I know I must die!"
"My friends and relations they live in the Nation
They know not where their dear boy has gone
I first came to Texas and hired to a ranchman
Oh I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong"
"It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing
It was once in the saddle I used to go gay
First to the dram house and then to the card house
Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today"
"Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin
Get six pretty maidens to sing me a song
Put bunches of roses all over my coffin
Put roses to deaden the sods as they fall"
"Go gather around you a group of young cowboys
And tell them the story of this my sad fate
Tell one and the other before they go further
To stop their wild roving before it's too late"
"Oh, bury me beside my knife and my shooter
My spurs on my heels, my rifle by my side
And over my coffin put a bottle of brandy
That the cowboys may drink as they carry me along"
"Go fetch me some water, a cool cup of water
To cool my parched lips," the poor cowboy then said
Before I returned his spirit had left him
Had gone to his Maker, the cowboy was dead
We beat the drum slowly and played the fife lowly
And bitterly wept as we bore him along
For we all loved our comrade, so brave, young, and handsome
We all loved our comrade although he'd done wrong

Composer(s): Homer Joy
First release by: Buck Owens and his Buckaroos - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists
I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else
Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody
Just want a chance to be myself
I've done a thousand miles of thumbin'
I've worn holes in both my heels
Trying to find me something better
On the streets of Bakersfield
Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
Spent some time in San Francisco
Spent a night there in the can
They throw this drunk man in my jail cell
Took fifteen dollars from that man
Left him my watch and my old house key
Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal
Then I thanked him as I was leaving, and
I headed for the streets of Bakersfield
Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
How many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Composer(s): Loretta Lynn
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn;
and various other artists
You've come to tell me something
you say I ought to know
That he don't love me anymore
and I'll have to let him go
You say you're gonna take him
oh but I don't think you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
Women like you they're a dime a dozen
you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over
and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body
so get out while you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
(Instrumental Break)
Sometimes a man starts lookin'
at things that he don't need
He took a second look at you
but he's in love with me
Well I don't know where that leaves you
oh but I know where I'll stand
And you ain't woman enough to take my man
Women like you they're a dime a dozen
you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over
and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body
so get out while you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
No you ain't woman enough to take my man
