Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye
Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye
Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
Performer(s): Don Cherry
and multiple other artists
Kiss me each morning for a million years
Hold me each evening by your side
Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sigh
After you've loved me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
If you must go I won't grieve
If you just wait a life-time before you leave
If you must go I won't say "no"
Just so we can say that we tried
Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

Confesión
Confesión
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Si acaso ella volviera...
volviera..
mañana junto a mí
Yo moriría por ella
por ella...
y si me pidiera
mataría por ella
sin ella
no hay nada para mí
Es que ella y yo somos los dos
la misma cosa
y no me resigno a admitirlo...
pero fue bueno mientras duró
Yo moriría por ella
por ella...
y si me pidiera
mataría por ella
sin ella
no hay nada para mí
Es que ella y yo somos los dos
la misma cosa
y no me resigno a admitirlo...
pero fue bueno mientras duró

Rosie (Francis Cabrel)
Rosie
Composer(s): Jackson Brown; Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Elle était déjà là bien avant
Que les camions ne viennent
Elle tournait comme une enfant
Une poupée derrière la scène
C'était facile de lui parler
On a échangé quelques mots
Je lui ai donné mon passe
Pour qu'elle puisse entrer voir le show
Elle s'est assise à côté de moi
Sur des caisses de bière
Pendant que je mixais le son pour le groupe
Sur la scène en arrière
Elle les fixait à s'en brûler la peau
Moi, je la trouvais tellement belle
Après le dernier morceau
Le batteur est parti avec elle
Oh Rosie, tout est blanc
Tes yeux m'éclairent
De t'avoir eu un instant
J'étais tellement fier
Tout ce qu'il me reste à présent
L'envie de tout foutre en l'air
Et de recommencer la nuit...
...Rosie
Je suppose j'aurais dû deviner
Qu'elle venait pour les stars
Et m'empêcher de l'imaginer
Dans mes bras plus tard
Depuis tout le temps que j'en tremble
Ce soir quand même j'ai compris
Faut pas dire à qui je ressemble
Faut dire qui je suis
Oh Rosie, tout est blanc
Tes yeux m'éclairent
De t'avoir eu un instant
J'étais tellement fier
Tout ce qu'il me reste à présent
L'envie de tout foutre en l'air
Et de recommencer la nuit...
Recommencer la nuit...
Recommencer la nuit...
Rosie...Rosie...Rosie...Rosie...Rosie...

Then What
Then What
Composer(s): Randy Sharp - Jon Vezner
Performer(s): Clay Walker; Sybersound
Well I got a good friend who's got a good life
He's got two pretty children and a real nice wife
But he never seems quite satisfied
I said I know what's on your mind
But you better think about it before you cross that line
The grass ain't always greener on the other side
Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust
You ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what
Well I ain't saying that looking's a crime
Well I've done my share from time to time
It don't mean that you gotta take that leap
When you're standin' on the brink
Before you jump you gotta step back and think
There's a price for ever promise you don't keep
Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust
You ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what
Do what you want, do what you wish
It's your life but remember this
There's bound to be some consequences
Sneaking under other fences
Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust
You ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what

Coney Island
Coney Island
Performer(s): Al Jolson
Every summer we go down to Deauville by the sea
Where one can rub his shoulders with a king
St. Moritz in wintertime, ah that’s the place to be
And then to Paris in the spring
Where one can have his little fling
Though Normandy is lovely in November
Somehow it leaves you nothing to remember
I can’t forget the night I met you down at Coney…Island
Gee, I was proud you picked me from the crowd at Coney…Island
And very soon I proved to you that my intentions weren’t phoney
It ended in ma…tri...mo...ny
And now we’re eating caviar instead of macaroni
But I recall those picnic lunches a baloney with a smile
I guess I’m still a hick
‘Cause I still get a kick
Just loving you while scrumming through the crowd
At Coney Isle

Rosie (Don Partridge)
Rosie
Composer(s): Don Partridge
Performer(s): Don Partridge
Rosie, oh Rosie
I'd like to paint your face up in the sky
Sometimes when I'm busy
Relaxing I'd look up and catch your eye
Your eyes when they're widening
Bring thunder and lightning
And sunset strokes the colour of your skin
Your eyes are so blue
I just think of a blue sky
And bumble bees buzzing on the wing
Rosie, oh Rosie
It's raining when you look the other way
Rosie, oh Rosie
Your laughter brings the sunshine out to play
And though I just met you
When I silhouetted you
A highlight golden shadow in your hair
I'd paint in your mind's eye
A vary of blue skies
Summer birds swinging through the air
Rosie, oh Rosie
I'd paint your face for all the world to see
Rosie, oh Rosie
I'd like to paint your face eternally

Then I'll Stop Loving You
Then I'll Stop Loving You
Composer(s): Joe Goodwin - Joe McCarthy - Al. Piantadosi
You seem afraid of my love, dear, afraid of the things that I do
true love has never run smooth, dear, that's why you think I'm not true
It's foolish to tell you my lovetale, I can't think of anything new
still I'll admit you are right, dear, maybe I'll stop loving you
Sweethearts must have bits of sorrow, that helps to sweeten the joy
sad today, glad on the morrow, life of a girl and boy
One smile can chase any frown, dear
One kiss can gladden the heart, though I may stop loving you
dear, that very day I will start
When the golden sun stops shining, when the flowers cease to grow
when a broken heart stops pining, when the waters cease to flow
when a lad without a lassie, never feels a trifle blue
when a child won't miss it's mother's kiss, then I'll stop loving you

Condition Of The Heart
Condition Of The Heart
Composer(s): Prince
Performer(s): Prince
There was a girl in Paris
Whom he sent a letter 2
Hoping she would answer back
Now wasn't that a foolhardy notion
On the part of a sometimes
Lonely musician
Acting out a whim is only good
4 a condition of the heart
There was a dame from London
Who insisted that he love her
Then left him 4 a real prince
From Arabia, now isn't that
A shame that sometimes money
Buys U everything and nothing
Love, it only seems 2 buy a
Terminal condition of the heart
Thinking about U driving me crazy
My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh
Every day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard
There was a woman from the ghetto
Who made funny faces just like
Clara Bow, how was I 2 know
That she would wear the same
Cologne as U and giggle the same
Giggle that U do?
Whenever I would act a fool, the fool
With a condition of the heart
Thinking about U driving me crazy
My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh
Every single day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard
There was a girl (There was a girl in Paris)
whom he sent a letter to... (Whom he sent a letter 2)
(Hoping she would answer back)
She never answered back and now (wasn't that a foolhardy)
He's got a condition of the heart (notion ...)

Rosetta
Rosetta
Composer(s): Mike Snow
Performer(s): Alan Price; Georgie Fame
Well my little girl is a sweet little girl
but she does things make your eyebrows curl
You let her loose on a Friday night
you know it's gonna end in a fight
Rosetta drinks her whiskey neat
she gets in a fight and she might get beat
So I go round on the Saturday night
and ask her if she feel allright
Rosetta are you better
are you well
well
well
Rosetta are you better
are you well
well
well
well
well
well - well
well
well
When Friday comes she's fine again
so we go to a club where we got friends
Knocked on the door but we couldn't get in
'cos the boss don't want no fuss
So we went up town and drank around
and Rosie ended on the ground
So I took her home and I put her to bed
and you can guess what I said

Then I'll Be Tired Of You
Then I'll Be Tired Of You
Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz - E.Y. Harburg
First release by: Freddy Martin and His Orch. - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists
You look at me and wonder, you look at me and doubt
Darling your eyes are asking, "Will the flame burn out?"
Well, no one is sure of sunshine, no one is sure of dawn
But I am sure my love will live on and on
I'll be tired of you when stars are tired of gleaming
When I am tired of dreaming, then I'll be tired of you
This I know is true: when winds are tired of blowing
When grass is tired of growing, then I'll be tired of you
Beyond the years, 'til day is night, 'til wrong is right
'Til birds refuse to sing
Beyond the years, the echo of my only love
Will still be whispering, whispering
And if my throbbing heart should ever start repeating
That it is tired of beating, then I'll be tired of you

Concurrence Déloyale
Concurrence Déloyale
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Il y a péril en la demeure
Depuis que les femmes de bonnes mœurs
Ces trouble-fête
Jalouses de Manon Lescaut
Viennent débiter leurs gigots
À la sauvette
Ell's ôt'nt le bonhomm' de dessus
La brave horizontal' déçue
Ell's prenn'nt sa place
De la bouche au pauvre tapin
Ell's retir'nt le morceau de pain
C'est dégueulasse
En vérité, je vous le dis
Il y en a plus qu'en Normandie
Il y a de pommes
Sainte-Mad'lein', protégez-nous
Le métier de femme ne nourrit plus son homme
Y a ces gamines de malheur
Ces goss's qui, tout en suçant leur
Pouc' de fillette
Se livrent au détournement
De majeur et, vénalement
Trouss'nt leur layette
Y a ces rombièr's de qualité
Ces punais's de salon de thé
Qui se prosternent
Qui, pour redorer leur blason
Viennent accrocher leur vison
À la lanterne
Y a ces p'tit's bourgeoises faux culs
Qui, d'accord avec leur cocu
Clerc de notaire
Au prix de gros vendent leur corps
Leurs charmes qui fleurent encor
La pomm' de terre
Lors, délaissant la fill' de joie
Le client peut faire son choix
Tout à sa guise
Et se payer beaucoup moins cher
Des collégienn's, des ménagèr's
Et des marquises
Ajoutez à ça qu'aujourd'hui
La manie de l'acte gratuit
Se développe
Que des créatur's se font culbuter à l'œil et sans calcul
Ah! les salopes!
Ell's ôt'nt le bonhomm' de dessus
La brave horizontal' déçue
Ell' prenn'nt sa place
De la bouche au pauvre tapin
Ell's retir'nt le morceau de pain
C'est dégueulasse

I was...trying out for you...New ideas you might wanna use...
Gypsy
You really would have been something, momma!
Rose
Do you think so?
Gypsy
If you had someone to push you like I had...
Rose
If I could have been...I would have been...
And that's show business!
I guess I did it for me...
Gypsy
Why, momma?
Rose
Just wanted to be noticed...
Gypsy
Like I wanted you to notice me!
I still do, momma!
(They embrace each other. Rose cries)
Gypsy
It's OK, momma! OK, Rose!
Rose
See... You look like you should speak French!
Gypsy
You're coming to that party with me...
Rose
No!
Gypsy
Come on!
Rose
Not like this
Gypsy
Wear my fur I have a stole in my cabinet
Rose
Well, maybe just for an hour or two...
Hey, it looks better on me than it does on you
Funny how we can both wear the same size!
Gypsy
Specially in mink
Rose
You know...I had a dream last night
There was a big poster of a other and daughter, like the
covers of the ladies magazines...
Gypsy
Yes, momma!
Rose
Only it was you and me wearing exactly the same gowns
It was an add for Minsky, and the headline
said: "Madam Rose ... and her daughter Gypsy"
(They laugh, embrace each other and leave
Rose stops for a while and takes one last look at the
stage as if she said good-bye)

I didn't know just what to do
So I whispered I love you
And he said that he loved me too
And then he kissed me
He kissed me in a way that I've never been kissed before
He kissed me in a way that I wanna be kissed forever more
I knew that he was mine so I gave him all the love that I had
And one day he took me home to meet his mon and his dad
Then he asked me to be his bride
And always be right by his side

Hey! Oh, now
I said that life (sweet life) - it must be somewhere to be found (must be somewhere for me)

Roses To Reno
Roses To Reno
Performer(s): Eddy Arnold
Send some roses to Reno
Maybe it's not too late
If the roses reach Reno
Maybe baby will wait
Baby's gone, she's out of sight
It all happened over night
But I long, I should have stayed
And that was yesterday
Before I'd found
Baby's Reno bound
Send some roses to Reno
Maybe it's not too late
If the roses reach Reno
Maybe baby will wait
Never thought she'd say goodbye
Guess my thoughts were all a lie
Baby smiled on me
For just a little while
And baby let me down
Baby's Reno bound
Send some roses to Reno
Maybe it's not too late
If the roses reach Reno
Maybe baby will wait

Composer(s): Phil Spector - Jeff Barry - Ellie Greenwich - Paul Reiman
Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1963
Dans ce train qui m'emmène loin
Je me demande pourquoi
Dans le bruit des roues
J'entends comme un écho de sa voix
Je sais qu'elle me mentait
Quand elle me disait qu'elle m'aimait
Et maintenant je l'ai quittée
Je m'en vais
J'avais quand je l'ai connue
Tant d'espoir dans le cœur
Mais j'ai bien compris qu'avec elle
Je n'aurais pas de bonheur
Quand l'autre soir je l'ai trouvée
Dans d'autres bras très fort serrée
Je n'ai pas pu le supporter,
Je m'en vais
Dans la vie quand on s'aperçoit
Qu'une fille ne vous aime plus
Il faut aller chercher ailleurs
L'amour qu'on a perdu
Et moi je sais que je vais découvrir
Un autre amour bien plus fort
Et si ce n'est pas pour demain
Eh bien! je chercherai encore
Tant pis si tout est gâché
Une de perdue dix de retrouvées
Moi, je reprends ma liberté
Je m'en vais
Dans ce train qui s'en va là-bas
Mes souvenirs s'éloignent de moi
Je m'aperçois que je l'oublie déjà

Concrete And Clay
Concrete And Clay
Composer(s): Brian Parker; Tommy Moeller
Performer(s): Unit Four Plus Two
You to me
Are sweet as roses in the morning
And you to me
Are soft as summer rain at dawn, in love we share
That something rare
The sidewalks in the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begins to crumble
But love will never die
Because we'll see the mountains tumble
Before we say goodbye
My love and I will be
In love eternally
That's the way
Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be
All around
I see the purple shades of evening
And on the ground
The shadows fall and once again you're in my arms
So tenderly
The sidewalks in the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begins to crumble
But love will never die
Because we'll see the mountains tumble
Before we say goodbye
My love and I will be
In love eternally
That's the way
Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be
The sidewalks in the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begins to crumble
But love will never die
Because we'll see the mountains tumble
Before we say goodbye
My love and I will be
In love eternally
That's the way
Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be
And that's the way
That's the way it's meant to be
That's the way
(that's the way it's meant to be)
Wo-oh, that's the way
That's the way it's meant to be

Roses On The 4th Of July
Roses On The 4th Of July
Composer(s): Nanci Griffith
Performer(s): Nanci Griffith
He still sends her roses on the 4th of July
They're always white roses and she never asks why
She still doesn't know where he goes Thursday nights
But his wedding band rests on their bedside that night
He was a soldier in the Vietnam war
He lost half his right leg whilst daydreaming of her
She lit a candle each holy hour he was gone
"You Were On My Mind" was their favorite song
Love is a mystery from birth 'till we die
It's cross words of a morning, by evening entwined
It's all that we dream of, sometimes it's not right
Love is white roses, and you never ask why
He's the hands of a draftsman, he's built a good life
She works for a season during IRS time
Two children they've had, though their boy has now died
When they wake of each morning, he's still on their minds
Their friends would all tell you they're like day and night
Their daughter's an actress, she is strong and she's bright
He meets with his pals from the war Thursday nights
She still treasures those roses every 4th of July
Love is white roses every 4th of July
