Jealous Heart (Dolly Parton)


Jealous Heart
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



Mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart

Sunny skies and a rosy bed
Thorns and storm clouds up ahead
'Cause suddenly the sky turns dark
For those of us with a jealous heart

Imagination runnin' wild
Like a frantic frightened child
Any time that we're apart
I can't control my jealous heart

And you know mine is a jealous heart
And every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you're cursed with a jealous heart

I love you more than words can tell
One day's heaven two days hell
Suspicious words like poison darts
Spoken from my jealous heart

Mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart

And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart
And every hurt, and every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you're cursed with a jealous heart

And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things, imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart

To Bobby


To Bobby
Composer(s): Joan Baez
Performer(s): Joan Baez



I'll put flowers at your feet
And I will sing to you so sweet
And hope my words will carry home to your heart
You left us marching on the road
And said how heavy was the load
The years were young, the struggle barely at its start

Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby
They're crying for you
See the children in the morning light, Bobby
They're dying

No one could say it like you said it
We'd only try and just forget it
You sood alone upon the mountain 'til it was sinking
And in a frenczy we tried to reach you
With looks and letters we would beseech you
Never knowing what, where or how you were thinking

Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby
They're crying for you
See the children in the morning light, Bobby
They're dying

Perhaps the pictures in the Times
Could no longer be put in rhymes
When all the eyes of starving children are wide open
You cast aside the cursed crown
And put your magic into a sound
That made me think your heart was aching, or even broken

But if God hears my complaint He will forgive you
And so will I, in all respect, I'll just relive you
And likewise you must understand the things we give you

Like these flowers at yur door
And scribbled notes about the war
We're only saying that time is short and there is work to do
And we're stilll marching on the streets
With little victories and big defeats
But there is joy, and there is hope, and there's a place for you

Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby
They're crying for you
See the children in the morning light, Bobby
They're dying

I Cried A Tear


I Cried A Tear
Composer(s): Al Julia; Fred Jacobson
Performer(s): LaVern Baker
and multiple other artists



I cried a tear because of you
I cried a tear because we're through
I cried a tear what else could I do
But cry and sigh for love of you

I felt a tear fall in my heart
You fooled me so I wasn't smart
I can't believe that we must part
Come back to stay let's make a new start

I cried a tear because of you
I cried a tear because we're through
Please make my dream of you come true
Don't make me cry a tear for you
Don't make me cry a tear for you

Jealous Guy


Jealous Guy
Composer(s): John Lennon
Performer(s): John Lennon



I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy, watch out
I'm just a jealous guy, look out babe
I'm just a jealous guy

Covered by multiple other artists



I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
Will the one I love
Be coming back to me?

I cover the waterfront
In search of my love
And I'm covered by
A starless sky above

Here am I
Patiently waiting
Hoping and longing
Oh! How I yearn!
Where are you?
Are you forgetting?
Do you remember?
Will you return?

I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
For the one I love
Must come back to me

domani avrò tempo di asciugare gli occhi miei
ma kiss me goodbye, ora tu te ne vai

To Be Your Man


To Be Your Man
Composer(s): Don Williams - Danny Flowers
Performer(s): Don Williams & Garth Fundis



Be my love, be my friend
Help me grow, help me bend
Understand, now and then, when I do wrong
It's for you that I try
I will live till the day I die
Giving all, all that I can
To be your man

High on a hill, standing alone
I'll tell the world everything I've loved
Raise my hand, testify
My love is real
When I laugh, when I cry
I would never, never lie
I'll do all, all that I can
To be your man

So, be my love, be my friend
Help me grow, help me bend
Understand, now and then, when I do wrong
Well it's for you that I try
I will live till the day I die
Giving all, all that I can
To be your man

When we're old, old and gray
And the children have moved away
And it's time, our time again, for being alone
Then you'll look, look and see
Love's been good to you and me
Understand, it's my plan
To be your man

So won't you be my love, be my friend
Help me grow, help me bend
Understand, now and then, when I do wrong
Well it's for you that I try
I will live till the day I die
Giving all, all that I can
To be your man

Jealous (Fleetwood Mac)


Jealous
Composer(s): Bob Welch
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac



It's easy to see why
'Cause I look in those green eyes
And I fall in love with her
All over again
Yeah, but this can be dangerous
'Cause those green eyes seem to say yes
So easily and to so many men

(chorus)

Well I know I've got a jealous heart
A jealous mind
But I'm trying to keep a hold of my girl

Now loving so caring
But sometimes she's daring
And those big green eyes
They set you up for a fall
Now I'm tryin' to keep her
But I just can't reach her
That with me it's all
Or nothing at all

(repeat chorus)

Love At Last You Have Found Me


Love At Last You Have Found Me
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Johnnie Worth
Performer(s): Liza Minnelli - 1966

Versions In Other Languages:
1959 - J'En Déduis Que Je T'Aime (Charles Aznavour)
1964 - Ne Deduco Che T'amo (Charles Aznavour)



Is it true what I feel
Is sunsine really rain
Is laughter really pain
Do flowers cry in sorrow
Do the rivers that flow
Turn salty by the sea
Bitter teardrops for me
Is life just one tomorrow

Love at last you have found me
Love at last you have found me

Does a kiss mean a fire
That never knows a flame
Does my heart play a game
By telling me I'm living
Are my words not my own
The stupid things I say
Like a child making play
I don't know what I'm giving

Love at last you have found me
Love at last you have found me, but

Now the storm begins
The wild, exotic wind
Soft words caressed with pain
Sweet smiles that hide a look of shame
Madness in our sighs
Then fickle tears and rice
But I will face it all
To look into your eyes

You have conquered my soul
And taken me away
Blindly groping my way
Not knowing, never caring
In the stillness of night
I feel you by my side
And yet I want to hide
From sadness we are sharing

Love at last you have found me
Love at last you have found me

So this is my way
Have others gone before
Is love an open door
Mine just for the taking or
Will I be afraid
So lost and so alone
Are your lips mine alone
What is this we are making

Love at last you have found me
Love at last you are mine

I Couldn't Sleep A Wink Last Night


I Couldn't Sleep A Wink Last Night
German Title: Ich Hab' Die Ganze Nacht Geweint
Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



I couldn't sleep a wink last night
Because we had that silly fight
I thought my heart would break the whole night through
I knew that you'd be sorry, and I'm sorry, too

I didn't have my favorite dream
The one in which I hold you tight
I had to call you up this morning
To see if everything was still all right
Yes, I had to call you up this morning
'cause I couldn't sleep a wink last night

I didn't have my favorite dream
The one in which I hold you tight
I had to call you up this morning
To see if everything was still all right
Yes, I had to call you up this morning
'cause I couldn't sleep a wink last night

Je Voyage


Je Voyage
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Jean-Pierre Bourtayre
Performer(s): Charles & Katia Aznavour



[Katia]:
Dis, que fais-tu là l'homme au soleil sur ce banc
Le regard perdu sous tes cheveux d'argent

[Charles]:
Je regarde fuir mes ultimes printemps
Emportés par mille chevaux blancs

Je voyage, je voyage
Vers les lieux bénis de ma vie
De voyages en voyages
A travers erreurs et acquis

Sans bagage, par image
Par le rêve et par la pensée
De voyages en voyages
Sur les vagues de mon passé

[Katia]:
Ce voyage dans les limites
De vos regrets, de vos remords
Est-ce un refuge est-ce une fuite
Ou bien une aventure encore

[Charles]:
Sur l'eau calme de mon âge
Où l'orage ne tonne plus
De mirages en mirages
Vers mes plages de temps perdu
Je voyage

Et toi jeune fille aux sources de ta vie
Fugueuse à seize ans que fais-tu par ici

[Katia]:
Je vais au devant du comprendre et savoir
Voir la vie de l'envers des miroirs

Je voyage, je voyage
Et je cours pour aller de l'avant
De voyages en voyages
Sac au dos cheveux dans le vent

Parfois folle, parfois sage
Refusant les idées reçues
De voyages en voyages
Dans l'espoir de trouver un but

[Charles]:
Tu es l'enfant d'entre deux guerres
D'un monde cru au désarroi
D'hommes et de femmes de misères
Sous le joug du chacun pour soi

[Katia]:
De rivages en rivages
Pour des grèves à découvrir
De mirages en mirages
Vers les rives de l'avenir

[Charles][Katia]:
Je voyage, je voyage
Un peu plus de jour et de nuit
De voyages en voyages
A travers rêves et insomnies

Par temps clair ou d'orage
D'un pied léger ou d'un pas lourd
De mirages en mirages
Par la mémoire et par amour
Je voyage

To Be Worthy Of You


To Be Worthy Of You
Composer(s): Walter Gross - Ray Klages
Performer(s): Frankie Laine



You're so near and yet so far away
Can I hope to share your love someday?
I'd give anything that I possess
If I could only prove my worthiness

To be worthy of you
Will be the dream of my life
The thing supreme in my life
To be worthy of you
Can I hope for romance?
Will I find love in your glance?
Is there a ghost of a chance
To be worthy of you?

You're my heart and my soul
My life and love you control
This one desire is my goal
To be worthy of you
Will the day come for me
When I'm all you want me to be?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To be worthy of you

To be worthy of you
Will be the dream of my life
The thing supreme in my life
To be worthy of you
Can I hope for romance?
Will I find love in your glance?
Is there a ghost of a chance
To be worthy of you?

You're my heart and my soul
My life and love you control
This one desire is my goal
To be worthy of you
Will the day come for me
When I'm all you want me to be?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To be worthy of you

I Couldn't Say Goodbye


I Couldn't Say Goodbye
Composer(s): Albert Hammond; Diane Warren
Performer(s): Tom Jones; The Sultans



I watch you as you're sleeping
As I'm standing at the door
I don't want to let you go
But I can't hold on anymore

I just can't find the strength
To say I'm leaving you
It's over now, it's over now
And there's nothing I can do

I couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't stand the pain
Couldn't watch you cry
Knowing that your heart would break

So I let you sleep
Till the morning light
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Telling you that I, I couldn't say goodbye

I'm walking down this rainy street
Thinking you're awake by now
As you read my letter
And the tears fall from your eyes

Just know I tried to make it work
It just wasn't meant to be
I needed you, I needed you
But not the way you needed me

I couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't stand the pain
Couldn't watch you cry
Knowing that your heart would break

So I let you sleep
Till the morning light
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Telling you that I, I couldn't say goodbye

I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't want to make you cry
It's over now, yes it's over now
I just couldn't say goodbye

I couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't stand the pain
Couldn't watch you cry
Knowing that your heart would break

So I let you sleep
Till the morning light
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Telling you that I, I couldn't say goodbye

Venise va mourir un jour
Venise va mourir
Je ne peux pas imaginer
Sans un soupir
Qu'un jour Venise au fond de l'eau
Verra passer tous les bateaux
Comme une épave de lumière
Un roman sous la mer
Venise a des blessures
Sur chaque pierre de chaque mur
Des sérénades à faire pleurer
Le monde entier
Venise a des colombes
Qui ont choisi ce coin du monde

Et qui un jour ne sauront plus
Où se poser, jamais, jamais
Venise va mourir un jour
Venise va mourir un jour
On voit, en plein hiver
S'ouvrir la mer
Et puis Venise disparait
C'est comme si tu me disais
Qu'un jour la terre à son réveil
Perdait son soleil
Venise m'appartient
Tous ses palais, tous ses jardins
Ses cathédrales et ses clochers
Doivent rester
Parce que Venise à trop d'amants
Qui meurent un peu en se disant
On vit d'amour et que Venise va mourir
Un jour, un jour, un jour

I Couldn't Live Without Your Love


I Couldn't Live Without Your Love
Composer(s): Tony Hatch; Jackie Trent
Performer(s): Petula Clark
and multiple other artists



You're the only one that I rely on
A shoulder there for me to cry on
And the hours alone that I'm without you
All I ever do is think about you

No one knows that you so understanding
Even though my love is so demanding
Everytime you look at me
Then you'll know we'll both agree
That no other love for me

I couldn't live without your love
Now I know you're really mine
Gotta have you all the time

Didn't like you much when I first met you
But somehow I couldn't quite forget you
Said you didn't want a friend or lover
That your life was happy with another

But as time went by my love grew stronger
Knew that I just couldn't wait any longer
For I couldn't let you know
When I have to tell you so
That I love you then you know

I couldn't live without your love
Now I know you're really mine
Gotta have you all the time

Now the tears are gone and I'm not crying
When you say you love me you're not lying

So when people want to stare
I know I don't really care
Just as long as you are there

I couldn't live without your love
Now I know you're really mine
Gotta have you all the time

I couldn't live without your love
Now I know you're really mine
Gotta have you all the time

To be the one you love
To see forever in your eyes
To know there’ll be no more goodbyes
Now I have you

To be the hand you reach to hold
And never think of growing old
To live the greatest story told
Of love come true with you

To share what fate may bring
A time to cry, a time to sing
To know my world has everything
Now I have you

To leave the shadows of the night
And touch your face at morning light
To know how lucky I must be
To be the one you love
The one you love

The one you love
