Over You (Gary Puckett & The Union Gap)


Over You
Composer(s): Jim Fuller; Jerry Fuller
Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap



Why am I losing sleep over you?
Reliving precious moments we knew?
So many days have gone by
Still I'm so lonely, and I
Guess there's just no getting, over you
And there's nothin' I can do
But spend all of my time
out of my mind
over you

Within the prison walls of my mind
There's still a part of you left behind
And though it hurts, I'll get by
Without your lovin' yet I
Guess there's just no getting
over you
And there's nothin' I can do
But spend all of my time
out of my mind
over you

And I guess this just no getting
over you
'Cause there's nothin' I can do
But spend all of my time
out of my mind
over you

Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes

Love is in the air
In the whisper of the trees
Love is in the air
In the thunder of the sea

And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
Don't know if I feel sane
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name

Love is in the air
Love is in the air, oh, oh, oh ...

Love is in the air
In the rising of the sun
Love is in the air
When the day is nearly done

And I don't know if you're an illusion
Don't know if I see it true
But you're something that I must believe in
And you're there when I reach out for you

Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise

But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes

Love is in the air
Love is in the air, oh, oh, oh ...

Misery And Gin


Misery And Gin
Composer(s): Johnny Durrill; Tommy "Snuff" Garrett
Performer(s): Merle Haggard
and various other artists



Memories and drinks don't mix too well
And jukebox records don't play those wedding bells
Starin' at the world through the bottom of a glass
All I see is a man who's fading fast

Toight I need that woman again
What I'd give for my baby to just walk in
Sit down beside me and say it's alright
Take me home and make sweet love to me tonight

But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fool can tell
That this Honkytonk Heaven really makes ya' feel like hell

I light a lonely womans cigarette
We both start talkin' 'bout what we want to forget
Her life story and mine are the same
We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame

But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fool can tell
That this Honkytonk Heaven really makes ya' feel like hell

Over There


Over There
Composer(s): George M. Cohan
Performer(s): American Quartet;
and various other artists



Johnnie get your gun, get your gun, get your gun
Take it on the run, on the run, on the run
Hear them calling you and me
Every son of Liberty
Hurry right away, no delay, go today
Make your daddy glad to have had such a lad
Tell your sweetheart not to pine
To be proud her boy's in line

Johnnie get your gun, get you gun, get your gun
Johnnie show the Hun, you're a Son-of-a-Gun
Hoist the flag and let her fly
Like true heros do or die
Pack your little kit, show your grit, do your bit
Soldiers to the ranks from the towns and the tanks
Make your Mother proud of you and to Liberty be true

Over There
Over There
Send the word, send the word
Over There That the Yanks are coming
The Yanks are coming
The drums rum tumming everywhere
So prepare
Say a Prayer
Send the word
Send the word to beware
We'll be over, we're coming over
And we won't be back till it's over over there!

Over There
Over There
Send the word, send the word
Over There That the Yanks are coming
The Yanks are coming
The drums rum tumming everywhere
So prepare
Say a Prayer
Send the word
Send the word to beware
We'll be over, we're coming over

Love Is All Around (Sonny Curtis)


Love Is All Around
Composer(s): Sonny Curtis
First release by: Sonny Curtis - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all alone
But it's time you started living
It's time you let someone else do some giving

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

The world is treating me bad... Misery

I'm the kind of guy
Who never used to cry

It's gonna be a drag... Misery!

I'll remember all the little things we've done
Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only one

Send her back to me
'Cause everyone can see
Without her I will be in misery

I'll remember all the little things we've done
She'll remember and she'll miss her only one, lonely one

Send her back to me
'Cause everyone can see
Without her I will be in misery (oh oh oh)
In misery (ooh ee ooh ooh)
My misery (la la la la la la)

Over The Rainbow


Over The Rainbow
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Herbert Stothart - E.Y. "Yip" Harburg
First recording: Judy Garland - 1938
Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages:
1968 - Arcobaleno (I Ribelli)
1980 - Regnbuen (Bamses Venner)
1997 - Achter De Regenboog (Ann De Winne)
2009 - Derrière L'arc-En-Ciel (Eddy Mitchell & Melody Gardot)



When all the world is a hopeless jumble
and the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
there's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your windowpane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
away, above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
why oh why can't I?

Geschreven In De Wind


Geschreven In De Wind
((Adapted from: Love Is All Around (by The Troggs) - 1967))
Composer(s): Reg Presley - Belinda Meuldijk
Performer(s): Rob De Nijs - 1996



Ik voel't in mijn vingers
voel 't van top tot teen
liefde kwam in golven
ik kan er niet omheen

't is geschreven in de wind
't heeft zo moeten zijn
voor jou en mij
dus als jij echt van mij houdt
laat 't dan zien aan mij

open je armen
en laat me toe
voel in je hart
wat ik voor je voel
er is geen weg terug
er komt geen eind
mijn liefde voor jou
zal eindeloos zijn

ik zie je zo weer voor me
hier in dit bed bij mij
o mijn dromen draaien cirkels
om alles wat je zij

ik heb mijn woord gegeven
je weet niet half hoe
ik bid dat je bij mij blijft
bij alles wat ik doe
doe wat ik doe

open je armen
en laat me toe
voel in je hart
wat ik voor je voel
er is geen weg terug
er komt geen eind
mijn liefde voor jou
zal eindeloos zijn
zal eindeloos zijn

't is geschreven in de wind
't heeft zo moeten zijn
dus als je echt van mij houdt
van mij houdt
dan laat het zien aan mij

laat 't dan zien aan mij
als jij echt van mij houdt
laat 't dan zien aan mij
laat 't zien
als jij echt van mij houdt

Miséricorde


Miséricorde
Composer(s): Jacques Larue; Philippe Gérard
Performer(s): Édith Piaf



Plus jamais ne prierai
Plus jamais ne rirai
Avec leurs boniments
Ils ont tué mon amant
Le bourdon peut sonner
Le curé, marmonner
C'est pas ça qui le fera
Revenir dans mes bras
D'un petit air réfléchi
Et la voix décidée
Il a dit: "Allons-y!
Faut défendre ses idées!"
Mais, malgré sa grande gueule
Et ses yeux qu'il planquait
Je n'étais pas toute seule
A chiâler sur le quai...

Miséricorde!
Miséricorde!
Les petites croix blanches
Ont des dimanches
Qui ne sont pas gais

Le ciel bleu d'un petit bal
Du côté de Bougival
Dans mes yeux étonnés
Continue de tourner...

Rien qu'à voir les péniches
On rêvait de voyager
Pour ceux qui ne sont pas riches
Il suffit de rêver
Le jardin qu'on aurait
Serait plein de lilas...
Et le gosse qu'on aurait
S'appellerait Jean-François...
Les beaux rêves sont gratuits
Moi, le seul qui me reste
C'est l'odeur de sa veste
Quand je dansais contre lui

'y a plus que ça qui me rapproche
De celui que j'adorais
Mais la vie est si moche
Que même ça, je l'oublierai...

Miséricorde!
Miséricorde!
Miséricorde!

Over The Next Hill


Over The Next Hill
Composer(s): Steve Tilston
Performer(s): Fairport Convention



Forever, forever, the road goes on forever

If your wheels are burning up the miles
And you're wearing down shoe leather
And your face is frozen in a smile
And the road goes on forever

Forever, forever, the road goes on forever
Over the next hill, maybe there's good weather

If you're flying over table tops
Eyes wide with wine and wonder
Or lazy counting kangaroos
In dingo days down under

Down under, down under, in dingo days down under
Over the next hill, there's no more rain or thunder

Though you chose the open road and you were willing
To sing and dance and take the tambourine man's shilling
All the secret tricks and footsteps you were learning
But once the stone begins to roll, it's not for turning
Like a rolling stone, with no direction home

If you're pacing in a dressing room
With no fresh paint or windows
Or you're strutting on some dusty stage
Wondering where the time goes

The time goes, the time goes, wondering where the time goes
Over the next hill, they say there will be rainbows
Oh, rainbows, rainbows, somewhere over rainbows
Over the next hill, who knows where the time goes

On Se Réveillera


On Se Réveillera ((Italian Version: Ci Si Risveglierà (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Georges Garvarentz - Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Rachelle Ferrell



On se réveillera
Par un matin plus clair, sous un soleil plus chaud
Pour une vie nouvelle
On se réveillera
On se réveillera
Et nos yeux s'ouvriront sur un monde plus beau
Et des pensées plus belles
On se réveillera

On se réveillera
Encore tout étourdi
De ne former qu'un être
On se réveillera
Comme des enfants qui
Viennent juste de naître
On se réveillera
Nu, de notre passé
Pur des années gâchées
Avant de se connaître
On se réveillera
A l'aube d'un espoir au sortir de la nuit
Qui nous cachait la vie
On se réveillera

On se réveillera
Encore tout étourdi
De ne former qu'un être
On se réveillera
Comme des enfants qui
Viennent juste de naître
On se réveillera
Nu, de notre passé
Pur des années gâchées
Avant de se connaître
Avec un coeur tout neuf
Et sans regret aucun
Tous deux main dans la main
On se réveillera

Demain

Love Is Just Around The Corner


Love Is Just Around The Corner
Composer(s): Leo Robin - Lewis Gensler
Performer(s): Bing Crosby - 1934



Beautiful miracle, pardon my lyrical rhapsody
Can't you see? Oh, you have captured me!
Being so glamorous, now can't you be amorous just with me
Make it soon, Cop a look at that moon

Love is just around the corner
Any cozy little corner
Love is just around the corner
When I'm around you

I'm a sentimental mourner
And I couldn't be forlorner
When you keep me on that corner
Just waiting for you

Venus de Milo was noted for her charms
But strictly between us
You are cuter than Venus
And what's more you've got arms!

Let's go cuddle in a corner
Any cozy little corner
Love is just around the corner
And I'm around you

Love is just around the corner
Any cozy corner
Love is just around the corner
When I'm around you

I'm ten times as faithful
As all your other men
They all are true to no one but you
But me I'm true to ten

Oh, let's go cuddle in a cozy corner
Any cozy little corner
Love is just around the corner
And I'm around you

Miserere


Miserere
Composer(s): Zucchero
Performer(s): Zucchero



Miserere, miserere
Miserere, misero me
Pero' brindo alla vita!

Ma che mistero, e'la mia vita
Che mistero
Sono un peccatore dell'anno ottantamila
Un menzognero!
Ma dove sono e cosa faccio
Come vivo?
Vivo nell'anima del mondo
Perso nel vivere profondo!

Miserere, misero me
Pero'brindo alla vita!
Io sono il santo che ti ha tradito quando eri solo
E vivo altrove e osservo il mondo
Dal cielo
E vedo il mare e le foreste vedo me che....
Vivo nell'anima del mondo
Perso nel vivere profondo!

Miserere,misero me
Pero'brindo alla vita!
Se c'e' una notte buia abbastanza
Da nascondermi,nascondermi
Se c'e' una luce,una speranza

Sole magnifico che splendi dentro me
Dammi la gioia di vivere che ancora non c'e'

Miserere, miserere

Quella gioia di vivere (che forse)
Ancora non c'e'

No One (Connie Francis)


No One Composer(s): Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman Performer(s): Connie Francis and multiple other artists



No one ever kissed me the way that you do
And no one ever told me "I love you"
No one ever cared
No, no one ever shared
All those dreams that I dreamed would come true

No one ever hurt me the way that you do
"Cause no one ever broke my heart in two
But I'll keep on caring my whole life through
For no one, no one but you

No one ever hurt me the way that you do
"Cause no one ever broke my heart in two
But I'll keep on caring my whole life through
For no one, no one but you

B.R.P. Composer(s): C. Garrido - Victor Jara - V. Rojas Performer(s): Victor Jara



Muchacho chileno
Fulgor de la nueva brigada
Las calles del pueblo
Despiertan con tu claridad

Tu brocha es el canto
Que pinta el azul del cielo
Que llena la patria
De luz, amor y fraternidad

Joven camarada
Que construyes tu esperanza
Alumbras los muros
Con rojo grito de libertad

Tu camino esconde noche y dolor
Ansia y valor tendido alli quedaste
De polvo y sangre
Crecio la flor que tu dejaste
Escribiendo el aire
Camarada ¡adelante!

Composer(s): Reg Presley
First release by: The Troggs - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Well, love is all around me
And so the feeling grows

It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show

You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginnin', there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend

I see your face before me
As I lay on my bed
I kinda get to thinkin'
Of all the things you said

You gave your promise to me
And I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me
In everythin' I do

You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginnin', there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend

It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show ...

Mis Viejos Amores


Mis Viejos Amores
Composer(s): Victor Heredia
Performer(s): Victor Heredia



Mis amores han pasado
como flores que el viento ha cortado
y han quedado, entre oscuras distancias
unos vivos y otros olvidados
Mariposas de colores
han dejado grabadas mil cosas
y he guardado en mi diario de tonto
cosas feas y cosas hermosas
Mis amores, mis amores
son retazos de viejas batallas
barquichuelos de velas heridas
navegando las aguas del alma
Mis amores, mis amores
pajaritos buscando su nido
frescas aguas en mi impertinencia
hace tiempo que los he perdido
No me ufano ni envanezco
por las cosas que el amor me ha dado
y hoy se han ido para siempre
por las sombras del río pasado
Mariposas de colores
han dejado grabadas mil cosas
y he guardado en mi diario de tonto
cosas feas y cosas hermosas
Mis amores, mis amores
son retazos de viejas batallas
barquichuelos de velas heridas
navegando las aguas del alma

B.J. The D.J.


B.J. The D.J. Composer(s): Hugh X. Lewis Performer(s): Stonewall Jackson



A story 'bout a pal of mine
who worked out near the Georgia line

A D.J. in a little country station
Everybody loved him dear, 'cause he played what they liked to hear
He built himself up quite a reputation

At record shops he'd stay out late, and his mom would always wait
To see if he would make it home alive
She warned about his loss of sleep, drivin' fast in that old heap
And that he had to be to work by five

BJ the DJ, you're living much to fast
And if you don't change your ways, don't see how you can last

Every morning just past four, from the driveway he would roar
Overslept and he was late again
But a break neck speeds he'd drive, to turn the station on at five
He had lots of records he must spin

Mom sat by the radio until his voice told her hello
She knew that he'd made it there alive
Then she'd say a little prayer, he was safe 'cause he was there
And she'd wait up for him again tonight

Then one cold and rainy morn, all four tires were badly worn
But he scratched out and just as fast as time
BJ had a lot of nerve, but he completely missed the curve
And he signed off down near the Georgia line

Mom sat by the radio, the voice she heard she didn't know
BJ's never been this late before
But with the roads so bad and all
She'd wait a while before she called
Then she heard the knock upon the door

BJ the DJ, only twenty-four
A wreck at ninety mules an hour
He'd spin the hits no more

Love Is Here To Stay


Love Is Here To Stay
Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - George Gershwin
First recording/First performance: Ella Logan & Bill Harty Orch. - 1937/Kenny Baker - 1938
Covered by multiple other artists



It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go

But, oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're goin' a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

Mis À Part


Mis À Part
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Autrefois quand les mignonnes
Gaspillaient leurs avantages
En dehors Dieu me pardonne
Des liens du mariage
Les malheureuses étaient mises
Au banc de la société
Mais aujourd'hui c'est la crise
Dans la chrétienté

Mis à part les curés
Par devant et par derrière
Mis à part les curés
Personne ne veut se marier

Autrefois les belles filles
N'avaient souvent qu'une idée
Laisser voir le plus possible
Leur peau dénudée
Mais la mode est versatile
Le maxi est arrivé
Et les voilà qui s'habillent
Jusqu'aux doigts de pieds

Mis à part les curés
Par devant et par derrière
Mis à part les curés
Personne veut plus s'dévoiler

On fabriquait des garçons
Par douzaines et les familles
Montraient leur désolation
Quand naissait une fille
Aujourd'hui bulle ou pas bulle
Du pape garçon ou pas
Qu'on prenne ou non la pilule
C'est plus du tout ça

Mis à part les curés
Par devant et par derrière
Mis à part les curés
Personne ne veut engendrer

L'habitude séculaire
De bien boire et bien manger
A l'heure où la foi se perd
Fait aussi pitié
On préfère à la prière
Et aux plats gastronomiques
Un régime alimentaire
Macrobiotique

Mis à part les curés
Par devant et par derrière
Mis à part les curés
Nul ne va plus gueuletonner

Les distractions les plus saines
Disparaissent des cités
Télé voiture et week-end
Les ont remplacées
Elles pleurent leur clientèle
Du samedi des temps passés
Les péripatéticiennes
Quand Guy Lux paraît

Mis à part les curés
Par devant et par derrière
Mis à part les curés
Personne ne veut plus monter

Les religieux en colère
Revendiquant nos péchés
On ne sait plus bien sur terre
A quel saint se vouer
Si le ciel tourne à l'enfer
Pour le mettre sur ses pieds
Je ne vois plus que Saint-Pierre
Pour tout arranger

Mis à part les curés
Introduits chez Lucifer
Mis à part les curés
Tout le monde sera sauvé
