One Night (Elvis Presley)


One Night
Composer(s): Dave Bartholomew;
Pearl King; Anita Steiman
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



One night with you
Is what I'm now prayin' for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

Just call on me
And I'll be right by your side
I need your sweet heavy hand
My love's too strong to hide

Always lived a very quiet life
I ain't never done no wrong
Now I know life without you
Has been too long, too long

One night with you
Is what I'm now prayin' for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

One Night (Bad Company)


One Night
Composer(s): Mick Ralphs; Terry Thomas
Performer(s): Bad Company



I ain't got no money, but I sure got style
And if you got the time, girl, I'll show you how to smile
Come on make your mind up, ooh baby take a chance
Before this night is over, I'll show you how to dance, yeah

You like the danger, it's in your eyes, I can see it there
Throw your dance with a stranger, kiss him goodbye, yeah, bye bye baby

Chorus:
One night ain't no love affair, but I won't ask no more from you
One night with you anywhere, heaven knows what we can do

So sophisticated, I like the way you dress
The way you move your body, ooh, baby I'm obsessed
I don't want no lifetime, I just want tonight
Come on, take a chance, girl, I know you know it's right, yeah

I've got this feeling, it's feelin' so strong, when I first saw you
You've got me reelin', don't prove me wrong, oh come on, baby

(chorus)

(Solo)

Yeah, you like the danger, it's in your eyes, I can see it, baby
You took a chance with a stranger, kiss him goodbye, bye bye baby

(chorus)

One Never Knows, Does One?


One Never Knows, Does One?
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Revel
Performer(s): Billie Holiday;
and various other artists



One never knows, does one?
When love will come along
Then so suddenly life turns out to be a song

One never knows, does one?
The moment or the place
Then right before your eyes
Someone occupies your embrace

Someday look and you'll find
Two hearts were blest
Someday fate may be kind
Pray for the future
Hope for the best
One never knows, does one?

That's just the way it goes
All at once you hear
"Hold me. Caress me"
And then love may come
But when, one never knows

Non Ho L'Età


Non Ho L'età
(Dutch Version: Jij Bent Te Jong - 1996)
Composer(s): Mario Panzeri; Nisa
First release by: Gigliola Cinquetti - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



Non ho l'età, non ho l'età per amarti
Non ho l'età per uscire sola con te
E non avrei, non avrei nulla da dirti
Perchè tu sai molte più cose di me

Lascia ch'io viva un amore romantico
Nell'attesa che venga quel giorno, ma ora no
Non ho l'età, non ho l'età per amarti
Non ho l'età per uscire sola con te
Se tu vorrai, se tu vorrai aspettarmi
Quel giorno avrai tutto il mio amore per te
Lascia ch'io viva un amore romantico
Nell'attesa che venga quel giorno, ma ora no

Non ho l'età, non ho l'età per amarti
Non ho l'età per uscire sola con te
Se tu vorrai, se tu vorrai aspettarmi
Quel giorno avrai tutto il mio amore per te

Merry Widow Waltz


Merry Widow Waltz
Composer(s): Franz Lehár; Adrian Ross
Performer(s): The Mantovani Orch.
and various other artists



Love unspoken, faith unbroken
All life through
Strings are playing, hear them saying
"Love me true"
Now the echo answers
"Say you want me too"
All the world's in love with love
And I love you
Young lovers all awake
Night brings you waltz time
And the moonlight sings in waltz time
All the lanterns are swinging and burning low
Where are the fond couples clinging
As round they go?
Young lovers all take heart
Bright, siren beauty
Play your part now, do your duty
Let your heart sing this refrain!
For it's waltz time once again
Come away, come away to the ball
Where the dreams that you dream will be true
For the strings as they play seem to call
Beckon and call to you
Come away, come away to the waltz
Float along on a lilting refrain
To the land of desire where no heart can be false
And the world shall be young again
I hear the music play
It carries me away
All sorrows will have flown
When you are mine and mine alone
I hear the music play
It carries me away
All sorrows will have flown
When you are mine and mine alone
All mine alone
All mine alone
Mine alone
Love unspoken, faith unbroken
All life through
Strings are playing, hear them saying
"Love me true"
Now the echo answers
"Say you want me too"
All the world's in love with love
And I love you
When you are mine alone
All mine alone

One Morning In May (James Taylor)


One Morning In May
Composer(s): Bill Keith; Jim Rooney
Performer(s): James Taylor;
and various other artists



One morning, one morning, one morning in May
I spied a young couple, they were making their way
One was a maiden so bright and so fair
And the other was a soldier and a brave volunteer

Good morning, good morning, good morning said he
And where are you going my pretty lady
I'm goig out a walkin on the banks of the sea
Just to see the waters gliding hear the nightingale sing

Now they had not been standing but a minute or two
And out of his knapsack a fiddle he drew
And the tune that he played made the valleys all ring
Oh hark cried the maiden hear the nightingale sing

Oh maiden fair maiden tis time to give o'er
Oh no kind soldier please play one tune more
For I'd rather hear your fiddle at the touch of one string
Than to see the waters gliding hear the nightingale sing

Oh soldier kind soldier will you marry me
Oh no pretty maiden that never shall be
I've a wife in London and children twice three
Two wives and the army's too many for me

Well I'll go back to London and I'll stay there for a year
It's often that I'll think of you my little dear
And if ever I return it will be in the spring
Just to see the waters gliding hear the nightingale sing
To see the waters gliding hear the nightingale sing

Merlin's Time


Merlin's Time
Composer(s): Al Stewart; Peter White
Performer(s): Al Stewart



And I think of you now as a dream that I had long ago
In a kingdom lost in time
And in the forests of evening the archer is bending a bow
And I see you bring him bread and wine

Down the ligneous years the invaders have taken these lands
And bent you to their will
And the murmurous fade of the ancients and all that they had
But the magic lingers round you still

Oh who will walk the stony roads of Merlin's time
And keep a watch along the boarder line?
And who will hear the legends passed in song and rhyme
Upon the shepard's pipes of Merlin's time?

One Morning In May (George Shearing)


One Morning In May
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael; Mitchell Parish
Performer(s): George Shearing;
and various other artists



One morning in May, don't forget Dear
That one wonderful day when we met Dear
The world over was blue clover
And hearts carefree and gay

One morning in May, oh the rapture
Tonight Darling, I pray to recapture
Just one hour, just one flower
From love's faded bouquet

Kisses that came with the flame of Springtime
Burning your name in my heart
Precious to me, like a rosary
Now that we're apart

One morning in May to remember
The love smoulders away to an ember
And dreams perish, we'll still cherish
That one, one morning in May

(Instrumental Break)

The world over was blue clover
And hearts carefree and gay

(Instrumental Break)

One hour, just one flower
From loves faded bouquet

Kisses that came with the flame of Springtime
Burning your name in my heart
They're so precious to me, like a rosary
Now that we're apart

One morning in May to remember
The love smoulders away to an ember
And dreams perish, we'll still cherish
That one, one morning in May

Amore Mio (Hansi Hinterseer)


Amore Mio
Performer(s): Hansi Hinterseer



Ich hab´ das schönste Land der Welt gesehn
Das Gipfelkreuz der höchsten Berge
Ich durfte durch den Garten Eden gehn
mit all´ den Wundern dieser Erde
Doch wenn ich sagen soll
was mir das Schönste ist
es ist Dein lächelndes Gesicht

Amore mio Du bist schön
So wie ein Sonnenstrahl am Morgen
Den Menschen die uns beide sehn
bleibt meine Sehnsucht nicht verborgen
Amore mio Du und ich
Wir sind ein Herz und eine Seele
In einem Leben ohne Dich
wär´keine Liebe mehr für mich

Dein Lächeln jagt die dunklen Wolken fort
die unseren Alltag manchmal trüben
Und manchmal findest Du ein Zauberwort
um alle Sorgen zu besiegen
Die Welt ist wunderbar
solange es Dich gibt
Ich bin so sehr in Dich verliebt

Amore mio Du bist schön
So wie ein Sonnenstrahl am Morgen
Den Menschen die uns beide sehn
bleibt meine Sehnsucht nicht verborgen
Amore mio Du und ich
Wir sind ein Herz und eine Seele
In einem Leben ohne Dich
wär´ keine Liebe mehr für mich

In einem Leben ohne Dich
wär´ keine Liebe mehr für mich

One More Walk Around The Garden


One More Walk Around The Garden
Composer(s): Burton Lane; Alan Jay Lerner
Performer(s): Sarah Brightman;
and various other artists



That old April yearning
Once more is returning
And I have a longing to wander

The leaves may be falling
But April is calling
And the prim roses beckon me yonder

For one more walk around the garden
One more stroll along the shore
One more memory I can dream upon
Until I dream no more
For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait
And one more prayer it's not too late
To gather one more rose
Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate

That old urge is saying
It's time to go straying
Where no one but April can find me

To try and recover
The heart of a lover
That I left lying somewhere behind me

Just one more walk around the garden
One more stroll along the shore
One more memory I can dream upon
Until I dream no more
For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait
And one more prayer it's not too late
To gather one more rose
Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate

One more rose before I close the garden gate

Non È Più La Mia Canzone


Non È Più La Mia Canzone ((Adapted from: What Have They Done To My Song Ma (by Melanie Safka) - 1970)) ((French Version: Ils Ont Changé Ma Chanson (by Dalida) - 1970)) Composer(s): Melanie Safka - Mogol Performer(s): Dalida - 1970



Non è più la mia canzone
Non è più mia oramai
Io che l'avevo sritta in una soffitta
Amavo la mia canzone
Non è più mia oramai

Non son più mie le parole
Le hanno cambiate perchè
Cantavo la mia vita, ma non l'han capita
Ho quasi pianto quando l'ho sentita
Non è più mia oramai

Io raccontavo il mio amore
Io raccontavo il mio amor
Scrivendola il mio cuore avevo messo
Puo darsi che farà successo, ma
Non é più la mia canzone

lls ont changé ma chanson, ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson
Moi qui l'avais écrite, paroles et musique
J'aimais bien ma chanson, ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson

Han tradito la mia canzone
E insieme a lei anche me
Una canzone in fondo non è niente
Eppur m'han fatto male veramente
Non è più la mia canzone

La, la, la...

Ma in fondo al mio cuore, non c'è una promessa
Io perdo il successo ma resto me stessa
La mia canzone non vivrà

Non è più mia canzone
L'hanno cambiata ormai
Ma in fondo al mio cuore, non c'è una promessa
Io perdo il successo ma resto me stessa
La mia canzone non vivrà

Bist du traurig, dann sagt er dir
dam-dam-dam-dam

Marmor, Stein und Eisen bricht
aber unsere Liebe nicht
Alles, alles geht vorbei
doch wir sind uns treu

Marmor, Stein und Eisen bricht
Aber unsere Liebe nicht

One More Time To Live


One More Time To Live
Composer(s): John Lodge
Performer(s): The Moody Blues



Look out of my window
See the world passing by
See the look in her eye

One more time to live and I have made it mine
Leave the wise to write for they write worldy rhymes

and he who wants to fight begins the end of time
For I have riches more than these
For I have riches more than these

Desolation
Creation (Tell me someone why there's only confusion)
Evolution (Tell me someone that this is all an illusion)
Pollution (Tell me someone)
Saturation (Tell me someone)
Population
Annihilation
Revolution (Tell me someone why this talk of revolution)
confusion (Tell me someone when we're changing evolution)
Illusion (Tell me someone)
Conclusion (Tell me someone)
Starvation
Degredation
Humiliation
Contemplation (Changes in my life)
Inspiration
Elation (Changes in my life)
Salvation (Changes in my life)
Communication
Compassion
Solution

Look out on the hedgerow
As the world rushes by
Hear the birds sing such

One more tree will fall how strong the growing vine
Turn the earth to sand and still commit no crime
How one thought will live provide the others die
For I have riches more than these
For I have riches more than these

(Repeat middle part)

Look out of my window
See the world passing by
See the look in her eye

Merde À Vauban


Merde À Vauban
Composer(s): Pierre Seghers; Léo Ferré
Performer(s): Léo Ferré



Bagnard, au bagne de Vauban
Dans l'îl' de Ré
J'mang' du pain noir et des murs blancs
Dans l'îl' de Ré
À la vill' m'attend ma mignonn'
Mais dans vingt ans
Pour ell' je n'serai plus personn'
Merde à Vauban

Bagnard, je suis, chaîne et boulet
Tout ça pour rien,
Ils m'ont serré dans l'îl' de Ré
C'est pour mon bien
On y voit passer les nuages
Qui vont crevant
Moi j'vois s'faner la fleur de l'âge
Merde à Vauvan

Bagnard, ici les demoiselles
Dans l'îl' de Ré
S'approch'nt pour voir rogner nos ailes
Dans l'îl' de Ré
Ah ! Que jamais ne vienne celle
Que j'aimais tant
Pour elle j'ai manqué la belle
Merde à Vauban

Bagnard, la belle elle est là-haut
Dans le ciel gris
Ell' s'en va derrière les barreaux
Jusqu'à Paris
Moi j'suis au mitard avec elle
Tout en rêvant
À mon amour qu'est la plus belle
Merde à Vauban

Bagnard, le temps qui tant s'allonge
Dans l'îl' de Ré
Avec ses poux le temps te ronge
Dans l'îl' de Ré
Où sont ses yeux où est sa bouche
Avec le vent
On dirait parfois que j'les touche
Merde à Vauban

C'est un p'tit corbillard tout noir
Etroit et vieux
Qui m'sortira d'ici un soir
Et ce s'ra mieux
Je reverrai la route blanche
Les pieds devant
Mais je chant'rai d'en d'ssous mes planch's
Merde à Vauban

One More Sunrise


One More Sunrise
German Title: Morgen
Composer(s): Karl Mosser; Noel Sherman
Performer(s): Petula Clark; Leslie Uggams



One more sunrise
One more day to get through
One more sunrise
One more day without you
And false lips that I knew could never be true

One more (one more) sunrise (sunrise)
Now the heartaches begin
Wond'rin' (wond'rin') wand'rin' (wand'rin')
Through the places we've been
Hopin' that I can keep my sunny-side grin

Though our love is dead and gone
In my heart it still lives on and on
Feel like some poor dyin' swan
Tired of flyin', tryin', day by day I'm dyin'

One more sunrise
One more day we're apart
One more sunrise
One more daybreak for a breakin' heart

One more sunrise
One more daybreak for a brea-a-kin' hear-ear-ear-ear-eart

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy


Mercy, Mercy, Mercy
Composer(s): Johnny "Guitar" Watson;
Larry Williams; Joe Zawinul
Originally performed by: Marlena Shaw



My baby she may not a-look
Like one of those bunnies out of a Playboy Club
But she got somethin' much greater than gold
Crazy bout that girl 'cause she got so much soul

I said she got the kind of lovin', kissin' and a-huggin'
Sure is mellow, glad that I'm her fellow and I know
That she knocks me off my feet
Have mercy on me
'Cause she knocks me off my feet
There is no girl in the whole world
That can love me like you do

My baby when she walks by
All the fellows go mmmm, and I know why
It's simply 'cause that girl she looks so fine
And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind
[repeat chorus]

Everybody in the neighborhood
Will testify that my girl she looks so good
She's so fine she'd give eyesight to the blind
And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind
[repeat chorus]

Baby, yeah, you got that soulful feel, yeah, it's all right
Mercy, mercy, mercy

One More Sign


One More Sign
Composer(s): Neil Young
Performer(s): Buffalo Springfield



No, I'm not gonna to hide my feelings
Couldn't if I tried
No, I'm not holding them inside
Holding back is so close to stealing
Though we both have tried
We could lose it all if we lied

Someday it's later than
The feelings we have now
It's of the ground
I've always played around
But now I don't know how

Listen easy because I'm saying
What I mean this time
Sharing words I always said were mine
I was breezy, now I'm swaying
Like the tree we climbed
Asking you to give me one more sign

Mercy Mercy Me (Ecology)


Mercy Mercy Me (Ecology)
Composer(s): Marvin Gaye
Originally performed by: Marvin Gaye
Covered by various other artists



Woo ah, mercy mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me, mercy father
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury
Ah oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na na...
My sweet Lord... No
My Lord... My sweet Lord

One More Saturday Night


One More Saturday Night
Composer(s): Bob Weir; Robert Hunter
Performer(s): Grateful Dead;
Bees Make Honey; Kingfish;
David Murray; The Persuasions



I went down to the mountain, I was drinking some wine
I looked up into heaven, lord I saw a mighty sign
Writ in fire across the heaven, plain as black and white
Get prepared, there's gonna be a party tonight

Chorus
Uh huh, hey, Saturday night
One more Saturday night
Hey, Saturday night

Everybody's dancing down at the local armory
With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery
Temperature keeps rising, everybody getting high
Come the rocking stroke of midnight, the whole place is gonna fly

[chorus]

I turn on Channel Six, the President comes on the news
Says I got no satisfaction, that's why I sing the blues
His wife says don't get crazy, Lord you know what to do
Just crank that old Victrola, put on your rocking shoes

[chorus]

Then God way up in heaven, for whatever it was worth
Thought he'd have a big old party, thought he'd call it planet earth
Don't worry about tomorrow, Lord, you'll know it when it comes
When the rocking, rolling music meets the rising, shining sun

[chorus]

Ik Kreeg Toen De Schuld Van Jou


Ik Kreeg Toen De Schuld Van Jou
Composer(s): P. Kartner
Performer(s): Corry Konings



Ik kreeg toen de schuld van jou
Maar jij was mij ook niet trouw
Toch liet jij mij hier alleen
Waar moet ik nou heen
Jij hebt mij geluk gebracht
Nooit had ik er aan gedacht
Dat het ooit nog stuk zou gaan
Kijk mij eenmaal aan

Wanneer komt de tijd dat jij me weer t’rug wil zien
Of heb je voorgoed een ander na mij misschien
Is het nu tussen ons dan voorgoed voorbij
Eens heb jij mij toch gezegd, jij bent altijd van mij

Waarom ging die droom voorbij
Want jij houd niet meer van mij
Niets was mooier op deez aard
Niets was toch meer waard

Ik kreeg toen de schuld van jou
Maar jij was mij ook niet trouw
Toch liet jij mij hier alleen
Waar moet ik nou heen

Wanneer komt de tijd dat jij me weer t’rug wil zien
Of heb je voorgoed een ander na mij misschien
Is het nu tussen ons dan voorgoed voorbij
Eens heb jij mij toch gezegd, jij bent altijd van mij

Ik kreeg toen de schuld van jou
Maar jij was mij ook niet trouw
Toch liet jij mij hier alleen
Waar moet ik nou heen
Waar moet ik nou heen
