Je T'Aime A.I.M.E.


Je T'Aime A.I.M.E.
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Je t'écris c'est plus romantique
Comme un amant du temps jadis
Sur un papier couleur de lys
A l'encre bleue, et je m'applique
Quand ma plume, manque de chance
Fait en sortant de l'encrier
Une tache sur le papier
Que je déchire et recommence

Je t'aime A.I.M.E.
T'aime le cœur en feu
Faut-il un X à feu?
Ça me pose un problème
Allez je barre feu
Mais je garde je t'aime
Je t'aime A.I.M.E.
Simplement j'y ajoute
Ces mots "A la folie"
Mais soudain j'ai un doute
Folie avec un L
Un seul L ou bien deux?
Deux ailes serait mieux

Tellement plus jolies
Et bien sûr plus vivant
Vivant, comme une envie
Que le bonheur agrafe
Comme un papillon bleu
Au cœur d'un amoureux
Inquiet de l'orthographe

A l'école j'étais le cancre
Dont on ne pouvait rien tirer
Guettant l'heure de la récré
L'œil fixe et les doigts tachés d'encre
Aujourd'hui je me désespère
J'ai des lacunes et je le sais
Mais amoureux il me vient des
Velléités épistolaires

Je t'aime A.I.M.E.
Et je n'ai foi qu'en toi
Comment écrire foi
Privé d'un dictionnaire
Il y a tant de fois
Dans le vocabulaire
Je peine et je m'en veux
Allez je place un S
Mieux vaut peut-être un E
Franchement ça me stresse
Et mon foie fait des nœuds
Des heures d'affilée
Penché sur le papier

Je corrige et rature
Puis j'envoie tout valser
Maudissant l'écriture
Ecœuré j'abandonne
Au diable mon stylo
Je dirais tous ces mots
Tranquille au téléphone
Je prends le combiné
Compose un numéro
Je n'ai plus de problèmes
Allo, amour, allo
Oui oui c'est encore moi
Pour la énième fois
Qui t'appelle, tu vois
Pour te dire: "Je t'aime"

Tingaleo


Tingaleo
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Rebecca Wave



Tingaleo, run little donkey, run
Tingaleo, run little donkey, run

My donkey walk, my donkey talk
My donkey eat with a knife and fork
My donkey eat with a knife and fork
Tingaleo, run little donkey, run
Tingaleo, run little donkey, run

My donkey jump, my donkey spin
My donkey play on the violin
My donkey play on the violin
Tingaleo, run little donkey, run
Tingaleo, run little donkey, run

My donkey read, my donkey write
My donkey sleep in the hay at night
My donkey sleep in the hay at night
Tingaleo, run little donkey, run
Tingaleo, run little donkey, run

Tingaleo, where are you, my little donkey?
Oh, there you are -- but what's this confetti all
Over your mane -- have you been to another party?
Why didn't you tell me? Oh, I was fast asleep...
But what's this you've brought me -- a cupcake?
What a sweet little donkey you are! Tingaleo...

I Can Tell (Bo Diddley)


I Can Tell Composer(s): Elias McDaniel - Samuel Smith First release by: Bo Diddley - 1962 Covered by multiple other artists



I can tell because it's plain to see
I can tell the way you look at me
The way you know, you hold my hand
Yes, pretty baby I can understand
I can tell, I can tell
I know you don't love me no more

No more, no more
No more, a-no more
I can tell, I can tell
I know you don't love me no more

I asked your mama and your papa, too
What more can a poor man do?
Now, you been runnin' with a heart-breaker child, around
Yes, a new boy's why you put me down
I can tell, I can tell
I know you don't love me no more

Well, you won't answer your telephone
When I knock on your door
They say that you ain't home
Your sister let me in
And tell me I can wait
When you come home
You show up real late

Now, I can tell
Oh, I can tell
I know you don't love me no more

No more
I said, no more
No more
No more

Baby, I can give you romance
Only if you give me another chance
I'll cook your food and wash your clothes
I promise I'll keep your warm when it get cold

I can tell
I can tell
I know you don't love me no more

No more

No more

A-no more

Je T'Aime À L'Infini


Je T'Aime À L'Infini
Composer(s): Johnny Hallyday; M. Mallory
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Ne t'en fait pas
On a toute la vie
Pour oublier tout ça
Il nous reste toutes les nuits
Pour faire l'amour autant
Que l'on s'est trahi
À l'infini
Je t'aime à l'infini

Ne pleure pas
J'ai déjà pardonné
Regarde moi, avec le temps j'ai déjà oublié
On peut s'aimer autant que l'on s'est menti
À l'infini
Je t'aime à l'infini

Faisons l'amour
Comme la première fois
Sans se mentir et sans tricher
Jusqu'au bout de nos joies
Et donne moi, comme avant, ce premier cri
À l'infini
Je t'aime à l'infini

À chacun notre tour
On a trahi l'amour
On s'est fait mal sans se quitter
Je revenais parfois
Tu revenais souvent
Le cœur blessé en pleurant

Ne t'en fait pas
On a toute la vie
Pour oublier tout ça
Il nous reste toutes les nuits
Pour faire l'amour autant
Que l'on s'est trahi
À l'infini
Je t'aime à l'infini

À l'infini
Je t'aime à l'infini

I Can Still Make Cheyenne


I Can Still Make Cheyenne
Composer(s): Aaron Barker; Erv Woolsey
Performer(s): George Strait
Covered by multiple other artists



Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine
She heard his voice on the other end of the line
She wondered what was wrong this time
She never knew what his calls might bring
With a cowboy like him it could be anything
And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind

He said, "It's cold out here and I'm all alone
I didn't make the short go again and I'm coming home
I know I've been away too long
I never got a chance to write or call
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
But I'll be home soon and honey is there something wrong?"

She said, "Don't bother comin' home
By the time you get here I'll be long gone
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man"
He said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss
But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne

He left that phone danglin' off the hook
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
Then he just walked away
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line
With a little luck he could still get there in time
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say

She said, "Don't bother comin' home
By the time you get here I'll be long gone
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man"
He said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss
But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne

Composer(s): M. Panas; K. Munro; S. Lama
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri



Le soleil s'est enfin levé
Mes yeux sont enfin ouverts
Depuis l'heure où je t'ai trouvé
C'en est fini de mes hivers

Je t'aime à en sourire
Je t'aime à en pleurer
J'ai brûlé au feu de l'oubli
Le moindre souvenir
Je t'aime à en souffrir
Je t'aime sans raison
Sans savoir qui tu es
Et sans savoir ton nom

Chaque nuit comme au premier jour
Nos cœurs se parlent d'amour
J'ai gardé la timidité
Du temps où je t'ai rencontré

Je t'aime à en sourire
Je t'aime à en pleurer
J'ai brûlé au feu de l'oubli
Le moindre souvenir
Je t'aime à en souffrir
Je t'aime sans raison
Sans savoir qui tu es
Et sans savoir ton nom

Je t'aime à en sourire
Je t'aime à en pleurer
J'ai brûlé au feu de l'oubli
Le moindre souvenir
Je t'aime à en souffrir
Je t'aime sans raison
Sans savoir qui tu es
Et sans savoir ton nom

Tin Soldier


Tin Soldier
Composer(s): Steve Marriott - Ronnie Lane
First release by: Small Faces - 1967



I'm a little tin soldier
that wants to jump into your fire
you are a look in your eye
a dream passing by in the sky
I don't understand
all I need is treat me like a man
'cause I ain't no child
take me like I am
I got to know that I belong to you
do anything that you want to do
sing any so song that you want me to sing to you
I don't need no aggravation
I just got to make you
I just got to make you my occupation
I got to know that I belong to you
do anything that you want to do
sing any so song that you want me to sing to you
All I need is your whispered hello
smiles melting the snow
nothing heard
you eyes are deeper than time
say a love that won't rhyme without words
so now I've lost my way
I need help to show me things to say
give me your love before mine fades away
I got to know that I belong to you
do anything that you want to do
sing any so song that you want me to sing to you
oh no, no
I just want some reaction
someone to give me satisfaction
all I want to do is stick with you, 'cause I love you

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you've played
And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Because all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

You took advantage of my trust in you when I was so far away
I saw you holding lots of other guys and now you've got the nerve to say

That you still want me
Well, that's as may be
But you got to stand trial
Because all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal are mine to see on clear days
You thought that I would need a crystal ball to see right through the haze

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Because all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
and miles and miles and miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles

Je T'Aime (Yves Montand)


Je T'Aime
Composer(s): Paul Eluard;
Nush Eluard; Philippe Gérard
Performer(s): Yves Montand



Je t'aime pour toutes les femmes
Que je n'ai pas connues
Je t'aime pour tout le temps
Où je n'ai pas vécu
Pour l'odeur du grand large
Et l'odeur du pain chaud
Pour la neige qui fond
Pour les premières fleurs
Pour les animaux purs
Que l'homme n'effraie pas
Je t'aime pour aimer
Je t'aime pour toutes les femmes
Que je n'aime pas

Qui me reflète sinon toi-même
Je me vois si peu
Sans toi je ne vois rien
Qu'une étendue déserte
Entre autrefois et aujourd'hui
Il y a eu toutes ces morts
Que j'ai franchies
Sur de la paille
Je n'ai pas pu percer
Le mur de mon miroir
Il m'a fallu apprendre
Mot par mot la vie
Comme on oublie

Je t'aime pour ta sagesse
Qui n'est pas la mienne
Pour la santé je t'aime
Contre tout ce qui n'est qu'illusion
Pour ce cœur immortel
Que je ne détiens pas
Que tu crois être le doute
Et tu n'es que raison
Tu es le grand soleil
Qui me monte à la tête
Quand je suis sûr de moi
Quand je suis sûr de moi

Tu es le grand soleil
Qui me monte à la tête
Quand je suis sûr de moi
Quand je suis sûr de moi

Tin Man


Tin Man
Composer(s): Dewey Bunnell
Performer(s): America



Sometimes late when things are real
And people share the gift of gab between themselves
Some are quick to take the bait
And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves

But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

So please believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles

Oh, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

So please believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles

No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

So please believe in me

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone

All of the bad feelings have disappeared

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies

Je T'Aime (Jacques Brel)


Je T'Aime
Composer(s): François Rauber; Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel



Pour la rosée qui tremble au calice des fleurs
De n'être pas aimée et ressemble à ton cœur
Je t'aime
Pour le noir de la pluie au clavecin de l'étang
Jouant page de lune et ressemble à ton chant
Je t'aime
Pour l'aube qui balance sur le fil d'horizon
Lumineuse et fragile et ressemble à ton front
Je t'aime

À l'aurore légère qu'un oiseau fait frémir
En la battant de l'aile et ressembles à ton rire
Je t'aime
Pour le jour qui se lève et dentelles de bois
Au point de la lumière et ressemble à ta joie
Je t'aime
Pour le jour qui revient d'une nuit sans amour
Et ressemble déjà, ressemble à ton retour
Je t'aime
Pour la porte qui s'ouvre pour le cri qui jaillit
Ensemble de deux cœurs et ressemble à ce cri
Je t'aime...
Je t'aime
Je t'aime

Tin Angel


Tin Angel
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
First release by: Tom Rush - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



Varnished weeds in window jars
Tarnished beads on tapestries
Kept in satin boxes are
Reflections of love's memories

Letters from across the seas
Roses dipped in sealing wax
Valentines and maple leaves
Tucked into a paperback

Guess I'll throw them all away
I found someone to love today

Dark with darker moods is he
Not a golden Prince who's come
Through columbines and wizardry

To talk of castles in the sun

Still I'll take a chance and see
I found someone to love today

There's a sorrow in his eyes
Like the angel made of tin
What will happen if I try
To place another heart in him

In a Bleeker Street cafe
I found someone to love today
I found someone to love today

Toi Et Le Soleil
Adapted from: I Can See Clearly Now - 1972
Composer(s): Johnny Nash; Eddy Marnay
Performer(s): Claude François - 1977



Nous n'aurons plus jamais un jour de pluie
Tous les nuages se sont dissipés
Il faut me croire, encore, quand je te dis
Je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Nous avons passé le temps des yeux rougir
Et tout le mal nous l'avons oublié
Un arc-en-ciel a remplacé la nuit
Je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Hier encore dans mon coeur j'avais froid
Hier encore, je vivais sans toi...
Nous n'aurons plus jamais un seul jour de pluie
Oui, tous les nuages se sont dissipés
Il faut me croire encore quand je te dis
Je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Oui je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil...

Je T'Aime
Composer(s): Maurice Vidalin; Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud



Ferme la porte et assieds-toi
Ce soir, je n'me dégonfle pas
Ecoute ça, je t'aime!
Petite sœur, tu croyais bien
Que je t'aimais comme un copain
C'était pas ça, non, je t'aime!
Tu vois, j'ai mis des fleurs partout
C'est notre premier rendez-vous
Et tu viendras, dis, je t'aime

Quand on dit ça à un fauteuil
Dans une chambre où l'on est seul
C'est effrayant comme on est seul

Dis-moi bonjour, embrasse-moi
Mais ne m'embrasse pas comm' ça
C'est plus pareil, dis, je t'aime!
On est ensemble et on est là
On n'ira pas au cinéma
On restera, oh je t'aime!

Quand on dit ça à un fauteuil
Dans une chambre où l'on est seul
C'est effrayant comme on est seul!

Sainte Marie, priez pour moi
Car si elle ne venait pas
J'en crèverais, Sainte Marie, je l'aime!
Quand on dit ça à un fauteuil
Dans une chambre où l'on est seul
Sainte Marie, comme on est seul!

Timothy


Timothy
Composer(s): Rupert Holmes
Performer(s): The Buoys



Trapped in a mine when a hatch caved in
And everyone knows the only one left was Joe
And me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale were Joe
And me

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, god why don't I know?

Hungry as hell, no food to eat
Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
Joe said to me, I'll take a swig
And then there's some
For you

Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, god what did we do?

I must've blacked out just about then,
'cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around to finding
Timothy

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, god, why don't I know?

I Can Only Give You Everything
Composer(s): Phil Coulter; Tommy Scott
First release by: Them - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



I can't give you more than what I've got
You can't expect to get what I have not
I... can only give you lovin' 'til the sun goes down
And... until the leaves of summer turn to shades of brown
I try and I try
But baby, you know that I
Can only give you everything

Why can't I get you to understand
'Cause after all I am just a man
You... are on my mind when stars appear and shadows fall
And... when every little flower blooms and bluebirds call
I try and I try
But baby, you know that I
Can only give you everything

I'll do anything you want me to do
'Cause I don't want to know this life without you
Oh... don't ever go and leave me in this world alone
I'd... be like a little child if I was on my own
I try and I try
But baby, you know that I
Can only give you everything

Everything, baby
A little bit of this
A little bit of that
Everything, oh...

Je T'Aime (Dalida)

Tu viens de me dire adieu
La tristesse est dans tes yeux
J'ai beau ne pas y croire
C'est fini

Après tant d'amour passé
Nous sommes là tous deux blessés
Adieu la belle histoire
C'est fini
Je t'aime

Demain le cœur brisé
Demain toute seule j'irai
J'irai bien loin cachée
Ma vie déchirée
Où je pourrai sans fin crier, crier
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime

Une autre a volé mon bien
Et mes cris n'y pourront rien
Au vent déjà il meurt
C'est fini

Je voudrai pourtant qu'un jour
Tu te rappelles mon amour
Un pauvre amour qui saigne
Pour la vie
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime
Je t'aime

Timi's Black Arrow


Timi's Black Arrow
Composer(s): Donald
Performer(s): Blue



Before I packed my bags this morning
So little words I had to say
Made me sad to leave her crying
When I was flying far away
If she could understand my feelings
If I could only speak the words
If I could only have her with me
To say the things she never heard
But don't you cry my baby
The time will fly my baby
And I believe you will be waiting for me

The sky was blue in California and I was happy in the sun
I had a dream that you were with me but I awoke to find you gone
But don't you cry my baby
The time will fly my baby
And I believe you will be waiting... for me
