London Life
London Life
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
Performer(s): Anita Harris
Some people say the climate is frightful
But I believe the temper it is, it's more delightful
In this cold umbrella weather
Boys and girls all keep warm together
This London life is the life for me
On weekend nights we dance until dawning
Then go to hear the speeches at Hyde Park, Sunday mornin'
What if it should start in rainin'
I've got a boy, so who's complainin'
This London life is the life for me
While Paris sleeps, London just keeps right on a-swingin'
And all the songs that the world is singin'
You will find they all are born in London England
If others fly to faraway places
I'll stay right here and look at those friendly London faces
Lets' do it all in rain and thunder
London may blow it's seventh wonder
This London life, this loving London life is the life for me
Is the life for me, is the life for me
The life, the life for...

I Could Have Told You
I Could Have Told You
Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen; Carl Sigman
First recording/First release by: Frank Sinatra - 1853/1954
Covered by multiple other artists
I could have told you
She'd hurt you
She'd love you a while
Then desert you
If only you asked
I could have told you so
I could have saved you
Some crying
Yes I could have told you she's lying
But you were in love
And didn't want to know
I hear her now
As I toss and turn and try to sleep
I hear her now
Making promises she'll never keep
And soon it's over
And done with
She'll find someone new to have fun with
Through all of my tears
I could have told you so
I hear her now
As I toss and turn and try to sleep
I hear her now
Making promises
She'll never keep
And soon it's over
And done with
She'll find someone new to have fun with
Through all of my tears
I could have told you so

Je Voulais Te Dire Que Je T'Attends
Je Voulais Te Dire Que Je T'Attends
Composer(s): Michel Jonasz; Pierre Grosz
Performer(s): Michel Jonasz;
The Manhattan Transfer; Diane Dufresne
Je mettrai mon coeur dans du papier d'argent
Mon numéro d'appel aux abonnés absents
Mes chansons d'amour resteront là dans mon piano
J'aurai jeté la clé du piano dans l'eau
J'irai voir les rois de la brocante
Vendez mon coeur trois francs cinquante
Tu savais si bien l'écouter
Que ma vie s'est arrêtée
Quand tu m'as quitté
Je voulais te dire que je t'attends
Et tant pis si je perds mon temps
Je t'attends, je t'attends tout le temps
Sans me décourager pourtant
Comme quelqu'un qui n'a plus personne
S'endort près de son téléphone
Et sourit quand on le réveille
Mais ce n'était que le Soleil
L'autre jour j'ai vu quelqu'un qui te ressemble
Et la rue était comme une photo qui tremble
Si c'est toi qui passe le jour où je me promène
Si c'est vraiment toi, je vois déjà la scène
Moi je te regarde
Et tu me regardes
Je voulais te dire que je t'attends
Et tant pis si je perds mon temps
Je t'attends, je t'attends tout le temps
Ce soir, demain, n'importe quand
Comme quelqu'un qui n'a plus personne
S'endort près de son téléphone
Et qui te cherche à son réveil
Tout seul au soleil, j'attends
Je voulais te dire que je t'attends
Si tu savais comme je t'attends
Je t'attends, je t'attends tout l'temps
Quand seras-tu là, je t'attends
Je voulais te dire que je t'attends
Si tu savais comme je t'attends
Je t'attends, je t'attends tout l'temps
Je voulais te dire que je t'attends

Waiting for me-ee, waiting for me
Grab my coat from in the hallway

To Be Loved
To Be Loved
Composer(s): Gwen Fuqua - Berry Gordy - Tyran Carlo
First release by: Jackie Wilson -1958
Covered by multiple other artists
Someone to care
Someone to share
Lonely hours
And moments of despair
To be loved, to be loved!
Oh, what a feeling
To be loved!
Someone to kiss
Someone to miss
When you're away
To hear from each day
To be loved, to be loved!
Oh, what a feeling
To be loved!
Some wish to be a king or a queen
Some wish for fortune and fame
But to be truly, truly, truly loved
Is more than all of these things!
Someone to kiss
Someone to miss
When you're away
To hear from each day
To be loved, to be loved
Oh, what a feeling
To be loved!

My heart took flight
I only know when he
Began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced all night!

To Give (The Reason I Live)
To Give (The Reason I Live)
((Italian Version: Io Per Lei (I Camaleonti) - 1968))
Composer(s): Bob Crewe - Robert Gaudio
First release by: Frankie Valli - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
To give is the reason I live
To give all I can give
In return, for the life that I earn
I was born as a part of the plan
With the heart of a man
With a will to survive
And I believe
Everything on this earth
Having meaning and worth
Made of concrete and air
Is to share and to feel
Justify I exist
To describe on the list
Of someone
With a place in the sun
Here I stand, reaching out for the sky
Till the day that I die
I must give all I can
When I go
I'll go out empty hand
Leaving dust to the land
Just the soul I have found
Leaves the ground

Light Up The Candles
Light Up The Candles
Composer(s): Ralph Siegel
Performer(s): The Bellamy Brothers
Light up the candles to make the whole World see
It's a sign that we should live in peace and harmony
Light up the candles, ashine in every heart
Bring a little brightness to the dark
Light up the Christmas tree and sing a Christmas song
Just believe in love and joy and let our dreams be strong
Jesus Christ was born to save the World very long ago
Shining candles let the people know
It's a time to find a friend
Stand together hand in hand
It's a time to trust in smilin' eyes
Here and there, everywhere
For people live and people care
It's a time to do away with lies
So, light up the candles and make the whole World see
It's a sign that we should live in peace and harmony
Light up the candles, ashine in every heart
Bring a little brightness to the dark
Light up the Christmas tree and sing a Christmas song
Just believe in love and joy and let our dreams be strong
Jesus Christ was born to save the World very long ago
Shining candles let the people know
It's a time to look around
While the World is calming down
See the Star of Bethlehem arise
Here and there, everywhere
For people live and people care
It's a time to do away with lies
So, light up the candles and make the whole World see
It's a sign that we should live in peace and harmony
Turn on a light and Holy night will shine in every heart
And light up all the candles in the dark
Just light up a candle
Just light up all the candles in the dark

I Concentrate On You
I Concentrate On You
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance: Douglas McPhail - 1940
Covered by multiple other artists
Whenever skies look gray to me and trouble begins to brew
Whenever the winter winds become too strong
I concentrate on you
When fortune cries "Nay, nay" to me
And people declare "You're through"
Whenever the blues become my only song
I concentrate on you
On your smile, so sweet, so tender
When at first my kiss you do decline
On the light in your eyes when you surrender
And once again our arms intertwine
And so when wise men say to me
That love's young dream never comes true
To prove that even the wise men can be wrong
I concentrate on you

Je Voudrais Faire Cette Chanson
Je Voudrais Faire Cette Chanson
Composer(s): Yves Duteil
Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Je voudrais faire cette chanson
Pour faire chanter notre maison
Pour faire chanter tout l'Univers à ma façon
Avec l'amour pour diapason
Pour faire chanter tout l'Univers à l'unisson
Je voudrais faire cette chanson
Avec mon cœur et mes frissons
Les plus beaux jours de nos moissons
Les mots qu'on dit mais qui se perdent à l'horizon
Vers ceux qu'on aime et qui s'en vont
Pour ceux que j'aime et qui peut-être se perdront
Je voudrais faire cette chanson
Mmmm...
Avec nos cœurs et le meilleur de notre histoire
Le bonheur et le désespoir
Avec ton corps et la douceur de ton regard
Dans les accords de ma guitare
Je voudrais faire cette chanson
Pour faire pleurer notre maison
De ces instants parfois trop lourds et bien trop longs
Où le bonheur est en prison
Pour que jamais l'amour ne perde la raison
Je voudrais faire cette chanson
Et jusqu'au jour de nos moissons
Je voudrais, de mille façons
Te dire je t'aime et de nos cœurs à l'unisson
Dans un élan dans un frisson
Offrir au monde un jour ma plus jolie chanson
Aux yeux verts et aux cheveux blonds
Mmmm...
Pour faire chanter tout l'Univers à ma façon
Avec l'amour pour diapason
Pour faire chanter
Tout l'Univers à l'unisson
Je voulais faire cette chanson

Questa vita che ho è per lei

To Be A Man
To Be A Man
Composer(s): Tom Scholz
Performer(s): Boston
What does it take to be a man?
What dos it take to see it's a heart and soul, a gentle hand?
So easy to want and so hard to give
How can you be a man 'til you see beyond the life you live?
Oh, what does it take to be a man?
We can be blind, but a man tries to see
It takes tenderness for a man to be what he can be
And what does it mean if you're weak or strong?
A gentle feelin' can make it right or make it wrong
What does it take to be a man?
The will to give and not receive
The strength to say what you believe
The heart to feel what others feel inside
To see what they can see
A man is somethin' that's real
It's not what you are
It's what you can feel
It can't be too late
To look through the hate
And see
I know that's what a man can be

Par la couleur de ma peau qui me démoralis' un p'tit peu
Et c'est pourquoi je voudrais
Je voudrais être noir
Je voudrais être noir
Hey hey hey, vous les Saints, les Élus
Hey hey hey, vous les simples d'esprit
Vous qui chantez tout de blanc vêtus

Avoir plutôt la peau noire ou plutôt la peau jaun'
Et si le blanc n'est pas un' couleur déconseillée parmi vous
Quoi qu'il en soit je voudrais
Je voudrais être noir

De Hoge C
((Adapted from: To All The Girls I've Loved Before (Albert Hammond) - 1977))
Composer(s): Albert Hammond - Hal David - André Hazes
Performer(s): André Hazes - 1984
De weg naar roem is altijd lang
Het is een hele overgang
Maar kom vertrouw op mij
In deze maatschappij
Ben jij straks de gevierde man
De hoge "C" is niets voor mij
Een opera gaat aan mij voorbij
Want ik zing voor de gein
Die lessen doen me pijn
Oh die hoge "C" is niets voor mij
Wat is het heerlijk om te zingen
Het helpt je door `t diepste dal
Als ik muziek hoor wil ik springen
Ja ik wil zingen overal
Ga door straks lach je om die noot
Nog even met de billen bloot
Van tuinman tot een ster
Ik breng je echt zover
Ga door straks lach je om die noot
De hoge "C" is niets voor mij
Oh maak ik jou daar mee zo blij
Ik denk dat ik maar stop
Ik hoef niet naar de top
De hoge "C" is niets voor mij
Wat is het heerlijk om te zingen
Het helpt je door `t diepste dal
Als ik muziek hoor wil ik springen
Ja ik wil zingen overal
Die hoge "C" is niets voor mij
He Drètje kom vertrouw op mij
Maar ik zing voor de gein
Het doet geen centje pijn
Die hoge "C" is niets voor mij
Die lage "B" is niets voor mij
C c zingen oh was `t een "C"
He Drètje kom vertrouw op mij
Maar ik zing…hé Drè toe nou touwtje maken
Wat moet je nou met je touwtje
Het doet geen centje pijn
Die hoge "C" is niets voor mij

I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten
I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten
Composer(s): Clive Westlake
First release by: Dusty Springfield - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
It isn't the way that you look
And it isn't the way that you talk
It isn't the things that you say or do
Make me want you so
It is nothing to do with the wine
Or the music that's flooding my mind
But never before have I been so sure
You're the someone I dreamed I would find
It's the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
It's a feeling so unreal
Somehow I can't believe it's true
The pounding I feel in my heart
The hoping that we'll never part
I can't believe this is really happening to me
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but you're still here
We were strangers a moment ago
With a few dreams but nothing to show
The world was a place
With a frown on its face
And tomorrow was just, I don't know
But the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
Makes today seem so unreal
Somehow I can't believe it's true
Tomorrow will you still be here?
Tomorrow will come but I fear
That what is happening to me
Is only a dream
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but you're still here
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here

Je Voudrais Bien Être
Performer(s): André Bourvil
Je voudrais bien être ton sac
Tu aurais toujours peur de me perdre
Je voudrais bien être ton calepin
Tu me donnerais des rendez-vous
Je voudrais bien être ta robe
Celle que tu préfères aux autres
Je voudrais bien être tes souliers "hé hé hé"
J'irais partout ou tu irais
Je voudrais bien être ton collier
je serais pendu à ton cou
Je voudrais bien être ton visage
Tu me regardrais avec amour
Je voudrais bien être le soleil
Tu m'offrirais ton corps
Je voudrais bien être ton chien
Tu me couvrirais de carresses
Je voudrais bien être ton coeur
Alors je battrais pour moi
Je voudrais bien être ton amant
Car tu sortirais avec moi.
Mais je ne suis rien que moi
Et tu ne me vois pas
Mais je ne suis rien pour toi
Je ne suis que ton mari...!!!
