Faithfully


Faithfully
Composer(s): Jonathan Cain
Performer(s): Journey;
and various other artists



Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line it's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be

Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours-faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours-faithfully

Oh, oh, oh, oh-
Faithfully, I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours-faithfully

That's What The Red, White And Blue Means (To Ev'ry True Heart In The USA)


That's What The Red, White And Blue Means (To Ev'ry True Heart In The USA)
Composer(s): Robert Levenson - E.E. Bagley



Every stripe that's in the flag means something dear to me
For it's the emblem of our land and of democracy
And everytime I see Old Glory
Then I want to tell the story
Just as in the days of old the tale was told to me

Everyone that's in the land should keep in memry clear
Just what the meaning is of that old flag we love so dear
For every single word is thrilling
'Cause it shows we all are willing
when there comes a time for it to do our bit with cheer

Red is for the soldier boys
their muskets swining while they're sining songs of cheer
White is for mothers
while their hearts are pining smiles are shining through each tear
Blue is for the jackies on the ocean sailing
never failing once to win the day
That's what the Red and White and Blue means to every true heart in the U.S.A.

That's What Love Will Do


That’s What Love Will Do
Composer(s): Trevor Peacock
Performer(s): Joe Brown



That yellow dress you wore
When we went dancing Sunday nights
That smile you give me
In the movies when they dim the lights
I’ve tried in vain to wash the mem’ry from my brain
I can’t forget you
And that’s what love will do
That’s what love will do

The spins we took together
On my beat-out motorbike
The look your pa would give me
When we got back late at night
I’ve tried in vain to wash the mem’ry from my brain
I can’t forget you
And that’s what love will do
That’s what love will do

I never see you except now and then
But when I see you
The longing starts all over again

Put out the candle
And tomorrow it looks bright again
But when I lost you
It could never be put right again
What can I do?
My mem’ry won’t let go of you
I can’t forget you
And that’s what love will do
That’s what love will do

I’ve tried in vain to wash the mem’ry from my brain
I can’t forget you
And that’s what love will do
That’s what love will do

That yellow dress you wore
When we went dancing Sunday nights
That smile you give me
In the movies when they dim the lights
I’ve tried in vain to wash the mem’ry from my brain
I can’t forget you
And that’s what love will do
That’s what love will do

That’s what love will do

Cala A Boca, Bárbara


Cala A Boca, Bárbara Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Rey Guerra First release by: Chico Buarque - 1973



Ela sabe dos caminhos
Dessa minha terra
No meu corpo se escondeu
Minhas matas percorreu
Os meus rios
Os meus braços
Ele éo o meu guerreiro
Nos colcões de terra
Nas bandeiras, bons lençóis
Nas trincheiras, quantos ais, ai
Cala a boca
Olha o fogo
Cala a boca
Olha a relva
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara

Ele sabe dos segredos
Que ninguém ensina
Onde guardo o meu prazer
Em que pântanos beber
As vazantes
As correntes
Nos colchões de ferro
Ele é o meu parceiro
Nas campanhas, nos currais
Nas entranhas, quantos ais, ai
Cala a boca
Olha a noite
Cala a boca
Olha o frio
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara

Faith Of The Heart


Faith Of The Heart
Composer(s): Diane Warren
Performer(s): Rod Stewart; Susan Ashton



"The magic of believing is this if we really believe in ourselves
our heart will take us to the highest plateau of personal success
Nothing will stop us as long as we have faith in our hearts"

It’s been a long road - Getting from there to here
It’s been a long time, but my time is finally near

And I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothing’s in my way
And they’re not gonna hold me down no more
No, they’re not gonna hold me now

Chorus:
'Cause I got faith of the heart
I’m going where my heart will take me
I got faith to believe
I can do anything
I got strength of the soul
And no one’s gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I got faith
Faith of the heart

It’s been a long night, trying to find my way
Been through the darkness now I finally have my day

And I will see my dream come alive at last
I will touch the sky
And they’re not gonna hold me down no more
No, they’re not gonna change my mind

Chorus

I’ve known a wind so cold
I’ve seen the darkest days
But now the winds I feel are only winds of change
I’ve been through the fire and I’ve been through the rain
But I’ll be fine

Chorus

'Cause I got faith of the heart
I’m going’ where my heart will take me
I got faith to believe
And no one’s gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I got faith - faith of the heart
It’s been a long road

That's What Life Is Made Of


That's What Life Is Made Of
Composer(s): Ray Noble
Performer(s): New Grosvenor House Band



A little happiness, a little sorrow
Will be awaiting you tomorrow
But that's what life is made of anyhow

A little tearfulness, a little laughter
And not a care for what comes after
There's nothing to be afraid of anyhow

For the world rolls on the same old way
Just as night comes after day
That none of us can have a say about it

We'll make the world love every minute
And yet you're sixty seconds in it
Cos that's what life is made of anyhow

Christmas Carousel


Christmas Carousel
Composer(s): Peggy Lee
Performer(s): Peggy Lee



Christmas is a carousel
And round and round we go
Busy doin', wrapping things
For ev'ryone we know
Trim the house and trim the tree
And let the spirit show
Sing some carols loud and clear
And set the lights aglow

Hang your stocking for Saint Nick
And he will fill it up
Don't forget to leave some cookies
And a Christmas cup
Leave some food for all his reindeer
And the Christmas mouse
Leave a little bit of cheese
Somewhere around the house

Now I think that we're all set
So let's all take a ride
Don't you feel the Christmas joy
That makes you glad inside
Hold your candycane way out
As round and round we go
And if you should catch the ring
It's made of mistletoe

Cakewalk Into Town


Cakewalk Into Town Composer(s): Taj Mahal First release by: Taj Mahal - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists



I had the blues, so bad one time
it put my face in a permanent frown
You know I'm feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town

Honey, I woke up this mornin' feelin' so good
you know I laid back down again
Throw your big leg over me mama
I might not feel this good again

My baby, my baby, I do love the way she walks
And when my woman gets sleepy, I love the way she baby-talks

My work is getting scarce, oh baby, my work it done got hard
I spend my whole day stealin' chickens Honey from the rich folks yard

I would love to take a picnic in the country and stay all day
I wouldn't do nothing but while my blues away

I had the blues so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
You know I'm feelin' so much better I could cakewalk into town

Fais-Moi Valser


Fais-Moi Valser
Composer(s): Charles Borel-Clerc
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Le jazz reprend pour nous sa valse d'amour
Pourtant, du beau roman, c'est le dernier jour
J'ai mal, mais devant toi, je n'ose pas pleurer
Puisque tout est fini, avant de nous quitter

{Refrain:}
Fais-moi valser une dernière fois
Serre-moi tout près de toi
Dis-moi tout bas de jolis mots d'amour
Les mêmes qu'au premier jour
Berce-moi doucement comme un oiseau blessé
Dans tes bras, un instant, je veux encor rêver
Comme un reflet de mon bonheur passé
Mon amour, fais-moi valser

Sur terre; tu sais bien, je n'avais que toi!
Tu veux déjà partir... Je ne comprends pourquoi...
Chéri, elle attendra... Je l'ai fait si souvent...
Va-t'en vers ton bonheur, si tu veux... mais avant

{Refrain}

Malgré que mon tourment pour toi, compte peu...
Je n'ai qu'un seul désir... que tu sois heureux!
Je vivrai désormais avec ton souvenir...
Adieu mon bel ami... mais avant de partir

{Refrain}

That's What Life Is All About (Petula Clark)


That's What Life Is All About
Composer(s): Ian Levine - Toni Wine
Performer(s): Petula Clark; Ron Dante



Sometimes I watch you when you're sleepin'
Wonderin' how I got so lucky
Baby, being here with you like this
Should I reach out and touch you softly
Or should I close my eyes and wait awhile
Baby, till you wake me with a kiss?

Always you
Always me
Always us
Always we...

That's what life is all about
Finding someone is finding out
That love is what it's all about

What do I need? I don't need anything
Why should I leave when I have everything
Baby, every time we sing our song?
Thanks for the love you give unselfishly
All that is mine is yours, you know it is
Oooh, what a feeling knowing we belong

Always you
Always me
Always us
Always we...

That's what life is all about
Finding someone is finding out
That love is what it's all about

Baby, being here with you like this...

Always you
Always me
Always us
Always we...

That's what life is all about
Finding someone is finding out
That love is what it's all about

Love is what it's all about
Love is what it's all about
Love is what it's all about...

Cajun Moon


Cajun Moon Composer(s): J.J. Cale First release by: J.J. Cale - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists



Cajun moon, where does your power lie
As you move across the southern sky
You took my babe way too soon
What have you done, Cajun moon
Someday babe, when you want your man
And you find him gone, just like the wind
Don't trouble your mind whatever you do
'Cause Cajun moon took him from you
When daylight fades, the night comes on
You can hear the silence of this song
Don't trouble your mind whatever you do
'Cause he got me like he got you

Fais-Moi Une Place


Fais-Moi Une Place
Composer(s): Francoise Hardy; Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc; Françoise Hardy



Fais-moi une place
Au fond d' ta bulle
Et si j' t'agace
Si j'suis trop nul
Je deviendrai
Tout pâle, tout muet, tout p'tit
Pour que tu m'oublies

Fais-moi une place
Au fond d' ton cœur
Pour que j' t'embrasse
Lorsque tu pleures
Je deviendrai
Tout fou, tout clown, gentil
Pour qu' tu souries

J' veux q' t'aies jamais mal
Q' t'aies jamais froid
Et tout m'est égal
Tout, à part toi
Je t'aime

Fais-moi une place
Dans ton av'nir
Pour que j'ressasse
Moins mes souvenirs
Je s'rais jamais
Eteint hautain lointain
Pour qu'tu sois bien

Fais-moi une place
Dans tes urgences
Dans tes audaces
Dans ta confiance
Je s'rai jamais
Distant, distrait, cruel
Pour q' tu sois belle

J' veux pas q' tu t'ennuies
J' veux pas q' t'aies peur
J' voudrais q' tu oublies
L' goût du malheur
Je t'aime

Une petite place
Ici, maintenant
Car le temps passe
À pas d' géant
Je me ferai
Tout neuf, tout beau, tout ça...
Pour être à toi

That's What Life Is All About (Bing Crosby)


That's What Life Is All About
Composer(s): Bing Crosby - Ken Barnes - Les Reed - Peter Dacre
Performer(s): Bing Crosby



My life is like an open book
And as I glance back through the pages
I see the chances, I often took
Though I was never too courageous

Life's never easy all the time
The hills you climb
Often lead no where
Of ups and downs
I've had my share
That's what life is all about

I've known success
Some mild acclaim
And thinking of it gives me pleasure
And I've had some stress
The scars remain
When Lady Luck gave me short measure

When things went wrong
I'd fake a smile
But that's my style
'Cause I've been around
And having been being around, I've found
That's what life is all about

It's been a joy, I can't deny
Though some may think
I took things lightly
But man and boy, I look on High
And never fail to thank Him nightly

When I look back, I can't forget
The friends I've met
And the things they've done
I thank 'em all
It's been great fun
As for me, I have no doubt
That's what life is all about

That's what life is all about

Cajuína


Cajuína Composer(s): Caetano Veloso First release by: Caetano Veloso & Jorge Mautner - 2002 Covered by multiple other artists



Existimos, a que será
A que será que se destina
Pois quando tu me deste a rosa pequenina
Vi que és um homem lindo
E que se acaso a sina
Do menino infeliz não se nos ilumina
Tão pouco turva-me a lágrima nordestina
Apenas a matéria vida era tão fina
E éramos olharmo-nos, intacta retina
A cajuína cristalina em Teresina

Fais-Moi Signe


Fais-Moi Signe
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud



Dans la fureur et dans le bruit qui tuent
Tu peux crier, on ne t'entends déjà plus
Sors la valise où tu as mis tous tes rêves

Écoute bien sinon tu crèves
Écrasé par la grande machine
Dans la vie tout est possible
Si tu es disponible
Fais-moi signe
Fais-moi signe
Fais-moi signe

Y a du soleil, de quoi briller mille ans
D'autres façons de vivre dans l'océan
On va passer dimanche au cap de Bonne Espérance
Et faire l'amour en Casamance

Dans la vie tout est possible
Si tu es disponible
Fais-moi signe
Fais-moi signe
Fais-moi signe

Arrache-moi les feuillets de ton calendrier
Fais sauter les serrures
L'aventure
Si tu veux détourner les fusées
T'envoler, oublier, je suis prêt

Fais-moi signe
Fais-moi signe
Fais-moi signe

Écoute bien sinon tu crèves
Écrasé par la grande machine
Dans la vie tout est possible
Si tu es disponible
Fais-moi signe

That's What I Like Mick


That's What I Like Mick
Performer(s): Chas & Dave



Cheese and onion sandwiches on Derby chinaware
Fiddles and jigs and Woogie my dog and TV havin' a swear
Takin' my dad for a pint or two, a Sunday morning stroll
Licorice pipes and baggy suits, Glen Hoddle scorin' a goal
Catchin' a pike and ridin' my bike on wooden wheels and a bowl of eels
Yes... that's what I like, boy
That's what I like

Pie and mash and liquor, walking about in the rain
William Brookes and comical looks, pianos, trams and trains
Colds and cockles and thunderstorms, place on the wireless and now
Grandfather clocks and coke and brandy, fountain pens and Beano and Dandy
That's what I like, I said
hey, that's what I like

Little pubs out in the country, Mother Pearl and Bernard Faire
The sound of a banjo, barbershop singing and having a kip in the chair
Burnt toast, a beer from the wood and old Jerry Thomas' teeth
Jerry and Chuck and Cannon and Ball, a banjo pickin' Bill Keith
And old bank loads, wood burnin' stoves and Shirley MacLaine
And petticoat lane

That's what I like, I said
That's what I like, yes boy
Yes, that's just, ohh

Bubble and squeak and jumble sales, Little Richard and Jerry Lee
Bonfire night and south and that's paddlin' in the sea
Polished brass and copper, Salvation Army bands
Violins and old coach inns and colored elastic bands
Tea in the mornin' and winter beginnin' and fishin' lines
And frogs and Spurs are winning
Yes that's what I like
Hey, that's what I like

A day at the races, cover the bases, goin' out hoppin in Kent
A new pair of braces, little kids faces sleeping under the tent
And wagons, chickens and pickin' blackberries and swallows and sledges
And Devon and derries
And haddock and trotters and horses and knickers and swatters and stickers
And banjo, and kippers
Yeah, that's what I like, boy
That's what I like

Cajita De Música


Cajita De Música Composer(s): José Pedroni - César Isella Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Cuando estoy triste
lijo mi cajita de música...
No lo hago para nadie
sólo porque me gusta
Hay quién escribe cartas
quién sale a ver la luna...
para olvidar, yo lijo
mi cajita de música
Amarga es la madera
del palo santo
pero es como el amor
que no huele y perfuma
Cuando estoy triste
lijo mi cajita de música
Porque te vas y vuelves
no he de acabarla nunca
Te espero, mi tristeza huele a ti
y es menuda...
Tengo las manos verdes
esta noche de lluvia
Cuando estoy triste
lijo mi cajita de música...
No lo hago para nadie
sólo porque me gusta

Fais-Moi Un Signe


Fais-Moi Un Signe
Composer(s): J.P. Lang; P. Lemaître
Performer(s): Gérard Palaprat



Je suis devant un mur blanc
Mais je sais que tu es présent
Alors fais-moi un signe
Apparaît je t' attends
Je ne te demande rien
Rien qu' un seul geste de la main
Alors fais-moi un signe
Montre-moi le chemin
Dis-moi seulement l' espoir
Et j' irais où tu me diras
Les pieds nus dans la neige
Fais-moi un signe
Fais-moi un signe
Fais-moi un signe
Devant ce mur blanc de chaux
De tes yeux azur-indigo
Alors fais-moi un signe
Fais couler un ruisseau
Ecris ton nom noir sur blanc
De ce bout de charbon brûlant
Alors fais-moi un signe
Je suis prêt maintenant
Ça restera entre nous
Mais je n' aurais plus jamais froid
Les pieds nus dans la neige
Fais moi un signe {ad libitum}
