One Fine Day (The Chiffons)


One Fine Day
Composer(s): Carole King; Gerry Goffin
Performer(s): The Chiffons



One fine day, you'll look at me
And you will know our love was, meant to be
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl

The arms I long for, will open wide
And you'll be proud to have me, right by your side
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl

Though I know you're the kind of boy
Who onlu wants to run around
I'll keep waiting, and, someday darling
You'll come to me when you want to settle down
Oh!

One fine day, we'll meet once more
And then you'll want the love you threw away before
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl

One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl

Même Si Tu Revenais


Même Si Tu Revenais
Dutch & Italian Titles:
Zelfs Al Kwam Je Terug; Non È Casa Mia
Composer(s): Jacques Chaumelle; Vline Buggy; Bernard Kesslair
Originally performed by: Claude François
Covered by: Adrienne Pauly; Dalida; Isabelle A



Un p'tit coin perdu très loin de la ville
Une route sauvage sous un ciel tranquille
Et cette grande entrée au bout du chemin
Je pousse la grille et soudain
Une grande maison au bout d'une allée
Une grande maison toute abandonnée
Et puis sur la porte une petite pancarte
Où on a écrit "à louer"

Même si tu revenais
Je crois bien que rien n'y ferait
Notre amour est mort à jamais
Je souffrirais trop si tu revenais

Le vent s'est levé là-haut au premier
Ce volet qui bat ne ferme toujours pas
Ce volet grinçant cachait note amour
Tu m'avais promis mais un jour
Un jour comme un autre je t'ai attendue
Jusqu'au petit matin, mais tu n'es pas venue
Les mois ont passé, malgré moi, j'attends
Je t'attends encore, et pourtant

Même si tu revenais
Je crois bien que rien n'y ferait
Notre amour est mort à jamais
Je souffrirais trop si tu revenais

One Fine Day (Deanna Durbin)


One Fine Day
Composer(s): Giacomo Puccini;
Luigi Illica; Giuseppe Giacosa
Performer(s): Deanna Durbin



Weeping? And why? And why?
Ah, 'tis faith you are lacking
Hear me
One fine day we'll notice
A thread of smoke arising on the sea
In the far horizon
And then the ship appearing
Then the trim white vessel
Glides into the harbour
Thunders forth her cannon
See you? Now he is coming
I do not go to meet him
Not I
I stay upon the brow of the hillock
And wait there
And wait for a long time
But never weary of the long waiting
From out the crowded city
There is coming a man
A little speck in the distance
Climbing the hillock
Can you guess who it is?
And when he's reached the summit
Can you guess what he'll say?
He will call, "Butterfly" from the distance
I, without answering
Hold myself quietly concealed
A bit to tease him and a bit
So as not to die at our first meeting
And then, a little troubled
He will call, he will call
"Dear baby wife of mine,
Dear little orange blossom"
The names he used to call me when he came here
This will all come to pass as I tell you
Banish your idle fears
For he will return
Return

Même Si J'y Reste


Même Si J'y Reste
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Y a sûrement une piste à l'autre bout du monde
Sur une île perdue où le ciel se lamente
Depuis qu'ont disparu les avions de quarante
On ne peut pas toujours vivre les vieilles et mêmes choses
Il faudra bien qu'un jour mon appareil s'y pose
Les ailes déchirées par les vents du parcours
Ne me permettront pas le voyage retour
Même si j'y reste
Même si j'en pleure
Même si j'y attrape la peste
Même si j'en meure
Rien ne me fera regretter mon geste
À force de dormir sous les brises marines
Il ne restera rien de mes anciennes racines
Je n'aurai que ma peau pour unique prison
Trois ou quatre photos et la moitié d'un crayon
J'y vivrai tout le temps qu'on voudra que j'y vive
Mes histoires d'amour belles et définitives
Pour les arbres, les fleurs et les caméléons
Pour les vagues qui viennent et celles qui s'en vont
Même si j'y reste
Même si j'en pleure
Même si j'y attrape la peste
Même si j'en meure
Rien ne me fera regretter mon geste
Même si j'y reste
Juste en face, la mer sur des blocs de granit
Un jour j'irai graver les raisons de ma fuite
Avec les reflets blancs du regard des sirènes
J'avais peur des chemins qu'on voulait que je prenne
Même si j'y reste
Même si j'en pleure
Même si j'y attrape la peste
Même si j'en meure
Rien ne me fera regretter mon geste
Même si j'y reste
Même si j'en pleure
Même si j'y attrape la peste
Même si j'en meure
Rien ne me fera regretter mon geste
Hey, même si j'y reste
Si j'en pleure
Si j'en meure
Rien ne me fera regretter mon geste

One Dyin' And A Buryin'


One Dyin' And A Buryin'
Composer(s): Roger Miller
Performer(s): Roger Miller



Well I think I finally found me a sure-fire way to forget
It's so simple, I'm surprised I hadn't done thought of it before yet
It's foolproof - well, it's foolhardy, maybe, but who knows
Anyway, here I am walking toward where the cold dark water flows
Cos all it takes is:

One dying and a buryin'
One dying and a buryin'
Some crying
Six carrying me
I wanna be free

Oh...I wanna be free
Free from all this heartache and regret
And free from pining for the love I can't forget
The love that once was warm and then just somehow turned to hate
Made my life a prison from which there's only one escape
And that's:

One dying and a buryin'
One dying and a buryin'
Some cryin'
Six carryin' me
I wanna be free

One dying and a buryin'
One dying and a buryin'
Some cryin'
Six carryin' me
I wanna be free

One Day When We Were Young


One Day When We Were Young
German Title: Wer Uns Getraut
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Dimitri Tiomkin
Performer(s): Richard Tauber;
and various other artists



One day when we were young
That wonderful morning in May
You told me you loved me
When we were young one day

Sweet songs of spring were sung
And music was never so gay
You told me you loved me
When we were young one day

You told me you loved me
And held me close to your heart
We laughed then, we cried then
Then came the ti-ime to part

When songs of spring are sung
Remember that morning in May
Remember you loved me
When we were young one day

We laughed then, we cried then
Then came the ti-ime to par-art

When songs of spring are sung
Remember that morning in May
Remember you loved me
When we were young one day...

Melting Pot


Melting Pot
Composer(s): Roger Cook; Roger Greenaway
Performer(s): Blue Mink
and various other artists



I met my girl
She was livin' in the melting pot
I touched her skin
It was greasy from the melting pot
Get yourself a weapon
'Cause they slice you up in the melting pot
Well, I don't really have time to talk
But I wish you lots of luck inin the melting pot

Chorus

And in the end it's always just some game
The heartbreak, the laughter has all been in vain
Beat up and lied to
For your whole life
Kick you in the head
In the melting pot
The hawks live upstairs
Where the air is clean in the melting pot
They like to swoop down
And gnaw at your brain in the melting pot
Money, sex and power
Jerk you off in the back seat of the melting pot
Then they say I saw you last night
And you sure were looking sweet in the melting pot

Chorus

They'd like to buy you off
If they possibly can in the melting pot
With temptation and dreams and persuasion
That's what they got
In the melting pot
Keep you bleeding, begging and snotty here
In the melting pot
Well, don't you dare laugh out loud
They'll take away what you got
In the melting pot

Chorus

One Day I'll Fly Away


One Day I'll Fly Away
Composer(s): Will Jennings; Joe Sample
Performer(s): The Crusaders;
and various other artists



I make it alone
When love is gone
Still you made your mark
Here in my heart
One day I'll fly away
Leave you love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me
When will love be through with me
I follow the night
Can't stand the light
When will I begin
My life again
One day I'll fly away
Leave you love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me
When will love be through with me
Why live life from dream to dream
Dread the day that dreaming ends
One day I'll fly away
Leave you love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me
When will love be through with me
Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day that dreaming ends
One day I'll fly away

One Day At A Time
Composer(s): Marijohn Wilkins; Kris Kristofferson
Performer(s): Cristy Lane;
and various other artists



I'm only human, I'm just a woman
Help me believe in what I could be
And all that I am
Show me the stairway, I have to climb
Lord for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time

Chorus:
One day at a time sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking from you
Just give me the strength
To do everyday what I have to do
Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine
Lord help me today, show me the way
One day at a time

Do you remember, when you walked among men?
Well Jesus you know if you're looking below
It's worse now, than then
Cheating and stealing, violence and crime
So for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time

(Chorus)

Melody


Melody
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Les ailes de la Rolls effleuraient des pylônes
Quand m'étant malgré moi égaré
Nous arrivâmes ma Rolls et moi dans une zone
Dangereuse, un endroit isolé

Là-bas, sur le capot de cette Silver Ghost
De dix-neuf cent dix s'avance en éclaireur
La Vénus d'argent du radiateur
Dont les voiles légers volent aux avant-postes

Hautaine, dédaigneuse, tandis que hurle le poste
De radio couvrant le silence du moteur
Elle fixe l'horizon et l'esprit ailleurs
Semble tout ignorer des trottoirs que j'accoste

Ruelles, culs-de-sac aux stationnements
Interdits par la loi, le cœur indifférent
Elle tient le mors de mes vingt-six chevaux-vapeur

Prince des ténèbres, archange maudit
Amazone modern' style que le sculpteur
En anglais, surnomma Spirit of Ecstasy

Ainsi je déconnais avant que je ne perde
Le contrôle de la Rolls
J'avançais lentement
Ma voiture dériva et un heurt violent
Me tira soudain de ma rêverie
Merde!
J'aperçus une roue de vélo à l'avant
Qui continuait de rouler en roue libre
Et comme une poupée qui perdait l'équilibre
La jupe retroussée sur ses pantalons blancs

"Tu t'appelles comment?
Melody
Melody comment?
Melody Nelson"

Melody Nelson a des cheveux rouges
Et c'est leur couleur naturelle

One Chance At A Time


One Chance At A Time
Composer(s): Kenny Loggins; Glen Ballard
Performer(s): Kenny Loggins



Hello there
You tell me
You got a lot of real respect
For my kind
The Old Timers
I'm old enough to know the rules
But nobody gave me the book
I had to learn to improvise myself
'N time 'n time I let me down
Until I learned the hard way
How to feel
What's real

Chorus:

But you get one chance at a life
To give it all and get it right
'N after all this time in mine
Everything I thought I knew
Was tellin' me
To give it up
And leave it all behind
But you get endless second chances
To take it One Chance at a Time

For love 'n money
I made a lot-a dumb mistakes
In my time
Believe me
I proved and proved it
I can't believe I'm gonna prove it again
It's time to reinvent myself
But where the hell does the fire come from
When makin' it don't make it anymore?

Chorus

Time and Love
I been lookin' all my life
For time and love
Hoping a breeze will come 'n take me
I been waiting
And waiting
And sailing in one place
Like a bird against the wind
Afraid to turn and fly away

Mélodie Pour Un Amour


Mélodie Pour Un Amour
English Title: Broken Hearted Melody
Composer(s): Hal David; Sherman Edwards;
Donald Meyer; Frank Gérard
Performer(s): Caterina Valente; Dalida



Joue toi qui es musicien
Joue seulement ce refrain
Joue jusqu'au petit matin
Joue ça me fait du bien

Car vois-tu ça c'est la
Mélodie pour un amour
Qui n'a pas duré toujours
Mais qui a laissé pourtant
Depuis si longtemps toute sa fraîcheur
Au fond de mon cœur

Car nous n'étions que deux enfants
Qui s'aimaient bien tendrement
Mais qui découvraient la vie
Comme un nouveau fruit
Et croyaient encore à l'ile aux trésors

Joue toi qui es musicien
Joue seulement ce refrain
Joue jusqu'au petit matin
Joue ça me fait du bien

Car vois-tu ça c'est la
Mélodie pour deux enfants
Qui n'ont pas compris à temps
Que leur chanson d'amoureux
Resterait pour eux jusqu'au dernier jour
La mélodie d'un grand amour
Joue ou ou ou ou
Joue ou ou ou ou...

One By One


One By One
Composer(s): Jack Anglin; Jim Anglin; Johnny Wright
Performer(s): Kitty Wells & Red Foley



Both
One by one we broke each vow we made

Kitty
It was you who lied
It was me who paid

Red
As sure as there's a heaven beyond the sun

Both
We'll pay for our lies one by one

Red
My plans and hopes have tumpled down
My castle of dreams plunged to the ground

Kitty
How can you face me after what you have done
You shattered my dreams one by one

Both
One by one we broke each vow we made

Kitty
It was you who lied
It was me who paid

Red
As sure as there's a heaven beyond the sun

Both
We'll pay for our lies one by one

Red
How can you go to sleep at night
Don't old memories make you long for daylight

Kitty
You'll pay the price after having your fun
You'll regret each mistake one by one

Red
The love I treasured you so fo' go
For worldly goods you left me cold

Kitty
You're happy now but the time will come
Your boss loves will leave you one by one

Both
One by one we broke each vow we made

Kitty
It was you who lied
It was me who paid

Red
As sure as there's a heaven beyond the sun

Both
We'll pay for our lies one by one

One Burning Desire


One Burning Desire
Composer(s): Hugh Cornwell
Performer(s): Hugh Cornwell



I'm gonna try and steal a car
Drive it off with you somewhere afar
I'll start a fire deep inside
Find a place where we can hide
And as life flashes by
You want to know the reasons why
I'll be there with words to take you higher
One burning desire

I'm gonna try to be a light
Set the world on fire day and night
We start an education here
The signs look good no need to fear
The other people come and go
Why play the scenes they only know
I'll be here to help you walk the wire
One burning desire one burning desire

One burning desire
One burning desire
One burning desire
One burning desire

I want to get inside your head
Find your ma and pa and what got said
And as we get familiar too
Find every scar and small tattoo
And as we start to play the game
I'll confess and take the blame
But you're the one who poured fuel on the fire
One burning desire one burning desire one burning desire

One burning desire
One burning desire
One burning desire
One burning desire

One Brown Mouse


One Brown Mouse
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Echolyn;
The Kelele Brothers; Steve Lieberman



Smile your little smile, take some tea with me awhile
Brush away that black cloud from your shoulder
Twitch your whiskers
Feel that you're really real
Another tea-time, another day older

Puff warm breath on your tiny hands
You wish you were a man
who every day can turn another page
Behind your glass you sit and look
at my ever-open book
One Brown Mouse sitting in a cage

Do you wonder if I really care for you
Am I just the company you keep
Which one of us exercises on the old treadmill
Who hides his head, pretending to sleep?

Smile your little smile, take some tea with me awhile
And every day we'll turn another page
Behind our glass we'll sit and look
at our ever-open book
One Brown Mouse sitting in a cage

One Broken Heart For Sale


One Broken Heart For Sale
Composer(s): Otis Blackwell;
Winfield Scott; Leith Stevens
Performer(s): Elvis Presley;
Otis Blackwell; Ronnie McDowell



Who wants to buy a heart
One broken lover's heart
One broken heart for sale

Well, excuse me if you see me
Crying like a baby
Since she rejected me
There's nothing left to save me

Hey Cupid, where are you?
My heart is growing sadder
That girl rejected me
Just when I thought I had her

She would not listen to
The things my heart was saying
She turned and walked away
And told me I was playing

Some guys have all the luck
And my heart hasn't any
I think I'll paint a sign
For sale for a penny

Who wants to buy a heart (Oh yeah)
One broken lover's heart
One broken heart for sale

Ooooh-ooooh-oooh-oooh-ooh

Who wants to buy a heart (My poor heart)
One broken lover's heart
One broken heart for sale
