Almost Like Being In Love
Almost Like Being In Love
((French Version: C’est Peut-Être L’amour (by Nicole Croisille) - 1961))
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe
First performance by: David Brooks & Marion Bell - 1947
Covered by multiple other artists
What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why, it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why, it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling
I could swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love

Wishin' And Hopin'
Wishin' And Hopin'
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
Wishing and hoping and thinking and praying
Planning and dreaming each night of his charms
That won't get you into his arms
So if you're looking to find love you can share
All you got to do is hold him and kiss him and love him
And show him that you care
Show him that you care just for him
Do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause
You won't get him
Thinking and a-praying, wishing and a-hoping
'Cause wishing and hoping and thinking and praying
Planning and dreaming his kisses will start
That won't get you into his heart
So if you're thinking of how great true love is
All you got to do is hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it
And after you do, you will be his
You got to show him that you care just for him
Do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause
You won't get him
Thinking and a-praying, wishing and a-hoping
'Cause wishing and hoping and thinking and praying
Planning and dreaming his kisses will start
That won't get you into his heart
So if you're thinking of how great true love is
All you got to do is hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it
And after you do, you will be his
You will be his
You will be his

Almost In Your Arms
Almost In Your Arms
Composer(s): Ray Evans - Jay Livingston
Performer(s): Sophia Loren
and multiple other artists
You’re near, that moment’s here, I’m almost in your arms
Tonight, the mood is right, I’m almost in your arms
One sigh, one word and I will rush to your embrace
Say that certain word
Sigh that certain sigh
And with all my heart, to your arms I’ll fly
It’s strange how we are changed by things that seemed so small
One look can write a book
One touch can say it all
We’ve known those nights alone
And now we’ve found our way
I’m almost in your arms, almost in your arms
Almost in your arms, almost in your arms
You’re near, that moment’s here, I’m almost in your arms
Tonight, the mood is right, I’m almost in your arms
One sigh, one word and I will rush to your embrace
Say that certain word
Sigh that certain sigh
And with all my heart, to your arms I’ll fly
It’s strange how we are changed by things that seemed so small
One look can write a book
One touch can say it all
We’ve known those nights alone
And now we’ve found our way
I’m almost in your arms, I’m nearly in your arms
Almost in your arms, I’m nearly in your arms
Almost in your arms today

Wishing (Will Make It So)
Wishing (Will Make It So)
Composer(s): Buddy De Sylva
Performer(s): Vera Lynn;
and various other artists
Wishing will make it so
Just keep on wishing and care will go
Dreamers tell us dreams come true
It's no mistake
Wishes are the dreams we dream
When we're awake
The curtain of night will part
If you are certain within your heart
So if you wish long enough, wish strong enough
You will come to know
Wishing will make it so
Just imagine that you are back in childhood days
Wishing on the evening star or a load of hay
It worked wonders for you then who knows why or how
Though you’re older try again it can help you know
Wishing will make it so
Just keep on wishing and care will go
Dreamers tell us dreams come true
It's no mistake
Wishes are the dreams we dream
When we're awake
The curtain of night will part
If you are certain within your heart
So if you wish long enough, wish strong enough
You will come to know
Wishing will make it so

Your lips were made for kisses so tender
I'm almost in love tonight
When we are close, my heart says surrender
I'm almost in love tonight
And here under the spell of evening
I long to hold you tight
Heaven is near, why think of tomorrow
I'm almost in love tonight
It may be just the spell of evening
I long to hold you tight
Heaven is near, why think of tomorrow
I'm almost in love tonight
Almost in love

Wishing, that I could see you every day
Wishing, that I could steal your heart away
Dreaming, of the time I can hold you tight
Wishing, that the time would come tonight

Things would turn out right
If I could find a wishing star
Then I would spend the night
Wishing, that I could see you every day
Wishing, that I could steal your heart away
I’ve been hoping all along
Things would turn out right
If I could find a wishing star
Then I would spend the night
Wishing, that I could see you every day
Wishing, that I could steal your heart away

Almost Illegal
Almost Illegal
Composer(s): Rod Stewart - Andy Taylor
Performer(s): Rod Stewart
Yeah, I said yeah
I remember the first time
That I ever seen her face
I was standing by the drug store
Trying to save the human race
Took a raincheck on a blind date
To get her prescription filled
We had a short talk and a long walk
Through the lazy cottonfield
It was hot
She was cool and sultry
We made love
I was broke and lonely
She's wonderful, so beautiful
So delectable, she's mine
She's desirable, so lovable
And it's criminal, almost illegal
Well we woke up in a barnyard
When I heard a farmer shout
Get away, boy, from my daughter
When a shotgun rang out
We took off
She was right behind me
Ran like the wind
What a crazy lady
She's fabulous, so sensuous
She's marvelous, she's mine
I'm delirious, it's serious
Kinda dangerous, almost illegal
Bring it down now
We had a one child by the Springtime
and another on the way
I got a new life and a good wife
Ain't that amazing grace
It was hot
She was cool and sultry
We made love
I was broke and lonely
She's wonderful, she's beautiful
She's desirable, she's mine
I'm delirious, she's serious
It's kinda dangerous, almost illegal
Wonderful, so beautiful
She's not a radical, but she's mine
She's fabulous, so sensuous
And it's marvelous, almost illegal
Beautiful and she's wonderful
So desirable, almost illegal

Le Déserteur (Monsieur Le Président)
Le Déserteur (Monsieur Le Président)
Composer(s): H. Berg; Boris Vian
Performer(s): Esther & Abi Ofarim
Monsieur le Président
Je vous fais une lettre
Que vous lirez peut-être
Si vous avez le temps
Je viens de recevoir
Mes papiers militaires
Pour partir à la guerre
Avant mercredi soir
Monsieur le Président
Je ne veux pas la faire
Je ne suis pas sur terre
Pour tuer des pauvres gens
C'est pas pour vous fâcher
Il faut que je vous dise
Ma décision est prise
Je m'en vais déserter
Depuis que je suis né
J'ai vu mourir mon père
J'ai vu partir mes frères
Et pleurer mes enfants
Ma mère a tant souffert
Elle est dedans sa tombe
Et se moque des bombes
Et se moque des vers
Quand j'étais prisonnier
On m'a volé ma femme
On m'a volé mon âme
Et tout mon cher passé
Demain de bon matin
Je fermerai ma porte
Au nez des années mortes
J'irai sur les chemins
Je mendierai ma vie
Sur les routes de France
De Bretagne en Provence
Et je dirai aux gens:
Refusez d'obéir
Refusez de la faire
N'allez pas à la guerre
Refusez de partir
S'il faut donner son sang
Allez donner le vôtre
Vous êtes bon apôtre
Monsieur le Président
Si vous me poursuivez
Prévenez vos gendarmes
Que je n'aurai pas d'armes
Et qu'ils pourront tirer

Almost Human
Almost Human
Composer(s): Ian Gillan - Roger Glover - Jon Lord - Steve Morse - Ian Paice
Performer(s): Deep Purple
Well, I know you're the only one that understands
Afore ye go, before you leave
You always shake my hand
Even when I'm crazy
On fire and naked
Just as Nature intended
No style and easily blended
You always know where I'll be found
I'm hanging somewhere near the ground
Help me up or help me down
Don't want to lose those days
When everything is just a haze
I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
I believe I could walk before I learned to crawl
And when I look up, the Devil's looking back
From the mirror on the wall
You can open the door
I got my feet stuck to the floor
I may have lost my way
But I didn't get where I am today
You always know where I'll be found
I'm hanging somewhere near the ground
Help me up or help me down
Don't want to lose those days
When everything is just a haze
I'm dreaming
You spin into my empty room
And once again I'm almost human
Almost human
You always know where I'll be found
I'm hanging somewhere near the ground
Help me up or help me down
Don't want to lose those days
When everything is just a haze
I'm dreaming
You spin into my empty room
And once again I'm almost human
Almost human

Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd)
Wish You Were Here
Composer(s): David Gilmour; Roger Waters
Performer(s): Pink Floyd;
and various other artists
So, so you think you can tell?
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for the cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
a walk-on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We´re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
year after year
Running over the same old ground
but have we found the same old fears?
Wish you were here

Almost Hear You Sigh
Almost Hear You Sigh
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Steve Jordan - Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
I can almost hear you sigh
I can almost hear you cry
On every crowded street
All the places we would meet
What will I do without you
They say that life goes on
I'm feeling sorry for myself
I can't belive you're gone
You acted much too calm
You turned on all the charm
You had a cold look in your eyes
I can feel your tongue on mine
Silky smooth like wine
I'm living with those memories
That's all that's left of you and me
I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you made sweet love to me
And you turned on all the charm
Acted much too calm
You had a cold look in your eyes
Did it mean nothng
Was it all in vain
Was I just your fool
Or was the pleasure pain
Have you set me free
Or will I wake up
In the morning
And find out it's been a bad dream
Come on, I beg you
I want to be your main man
I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you make sweet love to me
Almost see your smile
It stretched half a mile
You had a stone cold look in your eyes

Wish You Were Here (Eddie Fisher)
Wish You Were Here
Composer(s): Harold Rome
Performer(s): Eddie Fisher;
and various other artists
They're not making the skies as blue this year
Wish you were here
As blue as they used to when you were near
Wish you were here
And the mornings don't seem as new
Brand-new as they did with you
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year
Wish you were here
And why did the birds change their song this year
Wish you were here
They're not shining the stars as bright
They've stolen the joy from the night
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year
Wish you were here
Why did the birds change their song this year
Wish you were here
They're not shining the stars as bright
They've stolen the joy from the night
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here

Composer(s): Chuck Berry
First release by: Chuck Berry - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
Yeah 'n' I'm doin' all right in school
They ain't said I broke no rule
I ain't never been in Dutch
I don't browse around too much
Don't bother me, leave me alone
Anyway I'm almost grown
I don't run around with no mob
Got myself a little job
I'm gonna buy me a little car
Drive my girl in the park
Got my eye on a little girl
Ah, she's really out of this world
When I take her to the dance
She's got to talk about romance
You know I'm still livin' in town
But I done married and settled down
Now I really have a ball
So I don't browse around at all

Wish That You Were Mine
Wish That You Were Mine
Composer(s): Winfred "Blue" Lovett
Performer(s): The Manhattans
Baby, could we have the same table we had yesterday
Woo, ooh, ooh, ooh
Here we are again
Sipping our drinks just like friends
I wonder if they see the sparkle in your eyes
I wonder if they know that I'm not your guy, mmm, hmm
I wonder if they see
That you don't belong tome
Wish that you could be mine
Mine, all mine, mmm…mmm…
It'll be hard for him to understand
I am his friend and he is your man
I wonder what my lady would say
If she knew I met you everyday, mmm, hmm
Sooner or later
Don't you know they're gonna find out and they'll hate us
Oh, I wish that you could be mine
Mine, all mine, mmm…
It's 2 a.m., the place is gonna close
The bartender looks as though he knows
Everybody's, everybody's made it home
Here we sit again all alone, mmm, hmm
I've got to get up at 8
Don't you know I've got to explain why I'm so late, mmm…
I wish I didn't have to go home
Whoa…oh…whoa…oh…oh…go home
I wish that you were mine, baby
Oh, I'd give you the world
And every little thing your heart desires

Almost Gothic
Almost Gothic
Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan
I'm working on gospel time these days
(The summer - this could be the cool part of the summer)
The sloe-eyed creature in the reckless room she's so severe
A wise child walks right out of here
I'm so excited I can barely cope
I'm sizzling like an isotope
I'm on fire so cut me some slack
First she's way gone then she comes back
She's all business then she's ready to play
She's almost gothic in a natural way
This house of desire is built foursquare
(The city - the cleanest kitten in the city)
When she speaks it's like the slickest song I ever heard
I'm hanging on her every word
As if I'm not already blazed enough
She hits me with the cryptic stuff
That's her style - to jerk me around
First she's all feel then she cools down
She's pure science with a splash of black cat
She's almost gothic and I like it like that
This dark place so thrilling and new
It's kind of like the opposite of an aerial view
Unless I'm totally wrong
I hear her rap and brother it's strong
I'm pretty sure that what she's telling me is mostly lies
But I just stand there hypnotized
I'll just have to make it work somehow
I'm in the amen corner now
It's called love - I spell L -U- V
First she's all buzz then she's noise-free
She's bubbling over then there's nothing to say
She's almost gothic in a natural way
She's old school then she's like young
Little Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat
She's almost gothic but it's better than that

Verliefd Op Chris Lomme
Verliefd Op Chris Lomme
Performer(s): Kreuners
Ik ben geboren in West-Duitsland
Ik werd verliefd op een meisje uit m'n thuisland
Het was Marieke, ze speelde mee
Ze speelde mee in een serie op TV
Het duurde jaren voor ik wist
Op wie ik toen verliefd was
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
Dat meisje met het blonde haar
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
'k Was toen een man van negen jaar
Ik was jaloers op alle schippers
Ik was jaloers op alle schippers naast Mathilde
Terwijl mijn broers met me lachten
Zat ik op haar te wachten
Ik wou haar alles, alles geven
Al mijn geld en als het moest mijn jonge leven
Onze romance was erg kort
Ze liet me staan voor Axel Nort
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
Dat meisje met het blonde haar
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
'k Was toen een man van negen jaar
Het duurde jaren voor ik wist
Op wie ik toen verliefd was
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
Dat meisje met het blonde haar
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
'k Was toen een man van negen jaar
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
Dat meisje met het blonde haar
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
'k Was toen een man van negen jaar
