Alors Je Dérive
Alors Je Dérive
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
La la la la la la
Je suis bien
Écrasée contre ton cœur
La la la la la la
Ne dis rien
Laisse parler le bonheur
Car les mots que l'on dit en amour
Sont sans importance
La la la la la la
Jusqu'au jour
Gardons le silence
Pour que je dérive
Au cours de l'amour
Et baigne en eau profonde
Comme une algue
Au fleuve du temps
Je file au gré de l'onde
Je dérive
Étant tour à tour
Lorsque nos deus cœurs s'affolent
Au creux de la vague
À la proue du vent
Sans dire une parole
La la la la la la
dans la nuit
Toi et moi ne ferons qu'un
La la la la la la
Loin du bruit
Jusqu'aux lueurs du matin
Les mots qu'en amour on dit nouveaux
Sont toujours les mêmes
La la la la la la
Quand ta peau
Murmure je t'aime
Alors je dérive

In Your hands oh my God
I shall give up my soul
With You I shall go all the days of my life
On the roads of Eternity

Along The Way To Waikiki
Along The Way To Waikiki
Composer(s): Richard A. Whiting - Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists
Far away, far away
Where the balmy breezes blow
Where they sway while they play
Ukeleles sweet and low
Where my heart is I am going
And I wish you were going too
If you stray down that way
I'll be there to welcome you
And if you like, you can hike with me
Along the way to Waikiki
Where the palm trees swaying
Playing in the breeze
Harmonise with those Hawaiian melodies
That's why I yearn to return once more
I want to stroll o'er the golden shore
Where the silv'ry stars and the steel guitars
Stole a part of the heart of me
Along the way to Waikiki
If you go then I know
You will learn to love it too
Eyes aglow, voices low
Singing love songs just for you
If the world looks blue and dreary
And you long for a place worthwhile
Let me know, let me show you
That sunny sun-kissed isle
And if you like, you can hike with me
Along the way to Waikiki
Where the plam trees swaying
Playing in the breeze
Harmonise with those Hawaiian melodies
That's why I yearn to return once more
I want to stroll o'er the golden shore
Where the silv'ry stars and the steel guitars
Stole a part of the heart of me
Along the way to Waikiki

With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you

With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
Got nothing but this old heart of mine

Girl, you know, sweet heart,
I'll always try to keep you satisfied, 'cause

With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
Baby, I never thought so much love
Could fit in a little band of gold
But I'm telling you, darling
I feel it in my heart, got it in my soul
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you

Along The Road
Along The Road
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
and multiple other artists
Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part of the heart
Gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road
Along the road
Your path may wander
A pilgrim's faith may fail
Absence makes the heart grow stronger
Darkness obscures the trail
Cursing the quest
Courting disaster
Measureless nights forebode
Moments of rest
Glimpses of laughter
Are treasured along the road
Along the road
Your steps may tumble
Your thoughts may start to stray
But through it all a heart held humble
Levels and lights your way
Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part of the heart
Gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road
Somewhere along the road
Somewhere along the road

With these hands, I will cling to you
I'm yours forever and a day
With these hands, I will bring to you

Long after stars have lost their glow
And with these hands, I'll provide for you
Should there be a stormy sea
I'll turn the tide for you
And I'll never
No, I'll never let you go

Along The Navajo Trail
Along The Navajo Trail
Composer(s): Larry Markes - Dick Charles - Eddie DeLange
Performer(s): Roy Rogers
and multiple other artists
Every day, along about evening
When the sunlight's beginning to pale
I ride through the slumbering shadows
Along the Navajo Trail
When it's night and crickets are callin'
And coyotes are makin' a wail
I dream by a smoldering fire
Along the Navajo Trail
I love to lie and listen to the music
When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar
When over yonder hill the moon is climbin'
It always finds me wishin' on a star
Well whatta ya know, it's mornin' already
There's the dawnin', so silver and pale
It's time to climb into my saddle
And ride the Navajo Trail
I love to lie and listen to the music
When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar
When over yonder hill the moon is climbin'
It always finds me wishin' on a star
Well whatta ya know, it's mornin' already
There's the dawnin', so silver and pale (like a silvery veil)
It's time to climb into my saddle
And ride the Navajo Trail
Ride the Navajo Trail
Ride the Navajo Trail

With The Wind And The Rain In Your Hair
Composer(s): Clara Edwards; Jack Lawrence
Performer(s): Bob Crosby;
and various other artists
Last night we met and I dream of you yet
With the wind and the rain in your hair
I held you tight and you whispered "Goodnight"
With the wind and the rain in your hair
Now it will be my favourite memory
That vision of you standing there
Oh, there in the mist, how you sighed when we kissed
With the wind and the rain in your hair
Now it will be may favourite memory
That vision of you standing there
Umm, there in the mist, how you sighed when we kissed
With the wind and the rain in your hair

Along Comes Mary
Along Comes Mary
Composer(s): Tandyn Almer
First release by: The Association - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
Someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse
And curse those faults in me
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to give me kicks, and be my steady chick
And give me pick of memories
Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations
No one ever sees
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played and neighbour folks make jokes
As who is most to blame today
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality
From where she got her name
And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch as hers
Will make them not the same
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
And when the morning of the warnings passed, the gassed
And flaccid kids are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains
She left the night before
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them
Realise their urgent cry for sight no more
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

With The Eyes Of A Child
With The Eyes Of A Child
Composer(s): Guy Fletcher; Doug Flett
Performer(s): Cliff Richard
Draw back the curtain
Let the sun stream in
So tell me a story
When you're ready, begin
Speak of the peaceful
The gracious, the wise
Let the world hear our laughter
Before it dies
With a beginning
There must be an end
What is the truth of that my friend
From the sound of the joyous
The gentle, the mild
Please look out at life
With the eyes of a child
From the eyes of a child
Keep out darkness and let in light
Let the eyes of a child
See little things that will give him peace
And fill his life
Short is the memory
But long is the hate
For peace on the earth
How long must we wait?
Think of the colours
The seasons, the sun
Put an end to the sorrows
That we have begun
From the eyes of a child
Keep out darkness and let in light
Let the eyes of a child
See little things that will give him peace
And fill his life
Draw back the curtain
The stage is all set
And start on a story
We'll never forget
Tell all the hopeful
The loving, the mild
Then look out at life
With the eyes of a child

Along Comes A Woman
Along Comes A Woman
Composer(s): Peter Cetera - Mark Goldenberg
Performer(s): Chicago
There is a time when a man needs somebody to talk to
Someone to talk to, somebody who’ll always be there
All alone, nothin’ seemed to matter
So alone, doesn’t get much better
Can’t explain somethin’ that you’re feelin’
For the very first time
There was a time when you needed someone to hold onto
Someone to hold you, somebody who’s always sincere
All alone, suddenly you see her
So alone, you know you’re gonna need her
Can’t explain, somethin’ that you’re feelin’
For the very first time
Then along comes a woman
There’s a change in the way that you’re feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it’s right
There was a time when you needed someone to count on
You needed someone to count on, somebody to care
Now she’s here, nothin’ seems to matter
She’s so near, everything is better
Can’t explain, somethin’ that you’re feelin’
For the very first time
Then along comes a woman
There’s a change in the way that you’re feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it’s right

With Plenty Of Money And You
With Plenty Of Money And You
Composer(s): Al Dubin; Harry Warren
Performer(s): Count Basie & Tony Bennett
Well, baby, what I couldn't do
With plenty of money and you
In spite of the worry that money brings
Just a little filthy looker buys a lot of things
And I could take you to places that you would like to go
But outside of that, I've no use for dough
It's the root of all evil
Of strife and upheaval
But I'm certain, honey, that life would be sunny
With plenty of money and you
It's the root of all evil
Of strife and upheaval
But I'm certain, honey, that life would be sunny
With plenty of money and you

Along Came You (A Song for Emily)
Along Came You (A Song for Emily)
Composer(s): Gloria Estefan
Performer(s): Gloria Estefan
I thought that I knew all there was to know
I knew all about love
I lived the highs and made it through the lows
I knew all about love
But now I must admit I'm surprised
And feel I've only scratched the surface
'Cause baby when I look in your eyes
I understand my one true purpose
You were sent to me
By angels up above, I'm certain
I thought I'd show you what love can be
But what did I know
Until along came you
To teach me about love
Oh yes, along came you
To teach me about love
And as this feeling grows with every day
You awaken my heart
A heart so full I fear that it may break
If we're ever apart
And though one day you'll be own your own
You know I always will be near you
As near as on the day you were born
Call on me, you know I'll hear you
You were sent to me
For one reason, I can tell you
You're here to show me what love can be
'Cause what did I know
Until along came you
To teach me about love
Oh yes, along came you
To teach me about love
Thula thula sana
U mama uyeza
Thula Thula sana
Thula thula sana
U mama uyeza
You were sent to me
By angels up above, I'm certain
You're here to show me what love can be
'Cause what did I know
Until along came you
To teach me about love, oh
Oh yes, along came you
To teach me about love
Teach me about love
Oh yes, along came you
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Teach me about love
Baby, baby teach me about love
Oh yes, along came you

With Pen In Hand
With Pen In Hand
Composer(s): Bobby Goldsboro
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey & Vikki Carr;
and various other artists
With pen in hand you sign your name
Today I find I'll be on that train
And you'll be free and i will be alone
So alone
If you think we can't find
The love we once knew
If you think I can't make
Everything up to you
Then I'll be gone
And you'll be on your own
You'll be on your own
Can you take good care of Jenny
Can you take her to school everyday
Can you teach her how to play
All the games that little girls play
Here what I say
Can you teach her how to roll up her hair
Can you make sure each night
That she says her prayers
Well if you can do these things
Then maybe she won't miss me
Maybe she won't miss me
And tonight as you lay
In that big lonely bed
And you look at that pillow
Where I laid my head
With your heart on fire
Will you have no desire
To kiss me
Or to hold me
And if you can forget
The good times that we had
If you don't think the good times
Outweigh the bad
Than go ahead and sign your name
And I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way

I'm Gonna Write A Song
I'm Gonna Write A Song
Composer(s): Glenn Sutton
First release by: Lynn Anderson - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Folks sit around with their face in a frown
And gape about the way things they are
They're happy to receive but they hardly ever want to give
I'm so tired of complaining and so in the time remaining
I'm gonna do my best to make the world a better place to live
I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
It's gonna be about sunshine and praise every living thing
It's gonna be about love
The one thing the world needs a lot more of
I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
Our fourfathers had only faith in God
And they willed to make the nation strong
So the old time religion could help 'em find a better way
We need more soul saving and a lot more people flag waving
And there's no better time for us to start than today
I'm gonna write a song...
I'm gonna write a song...

With One More Look At You/Watch Closely Now
With One More Look At You/Watch Closely Now
Composer(s): Paul Williams; Kenny Ascher
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand & Kris Kristofferson
With one more look at you
I could learn to tame the clouds
And let the sun shine through
Leave a troubled past and I might start anew
I'll solve the mysteries if you're the prize
Refresh these tired eyes
With one more look at you
I might overcome the anger
That I've learned to know
Find a peace of mind I lost so long ago
Your gentle touch has made me strong again
And I belong again
For when you look at me
I'm everything and more that I had dreamed I'd be
My spirit feels a promise
I won't be alone
We'll love and live more
Love and live forever
With one more look at you
I'd learn to change the stars
And change our fortunes too
I'd have the constellations paint your portrait too
So all the world might share this wondrous sight
The world could end each night
With one more look at you
With one more look at you
I want one more look at you
Are you watching me now?
Watch closely now
Your eyes are like fingers
Touching my body
Arousing me so
I'm ridin' the passion arising inside me
How high can I go?
You're comin' with me, I'm gonna show you how
And when it's scary, I won't look down
Are you watching me now?
Watch closely now
I see the hunger arise in your eyes
And it's urging me on
Higher and harder and faster and farther
Than I've ever gone
Your pleasure is part of the secret
Of flight that I found
When I feel like an eagle
My soul has no place on the ground
Born out of madness
I'll double the danger with no net at all
If you don't look away I'm secure
In the fact that you won't let me fall
Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
I'm the master magician
Who'll help you escape
From the lies you've been told
When they're breaking your back
Bring the last straw to me
I turn straw into gold
I break chains made of boredom that others have lived
With for years
I leave good news on doorsteps
And laughs where there used to be tears
I'm gonna need you later
When you're not around
But I can take it
I won't look down
Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
Watch me now
Are you watching me now?
Are you watching me now?

Along Came Ruth
Along Came Ruth
Composer(s): Irving Berlin - Conrad Salinger - Roger Edens
I had girls by the score yes, a hundred or more
Each one as nice as could be
It was hard to decide which I'd want for my bride
They all looked lovely to me
While I was trying to choose one I met a wonderful girl
She came tripping along, like a beautiful song
Setting my brain in a whirl
I was growing very fond of Molly
When along came Ruth, along came Ruth
I thought an awful lot of Dolly, when Ruth came along
My head began to "Merrygoround," I almost married Polly
I was making love to May, when along came Ruth
And to tell the truth, she stole my heart away
There's a right little girl, with the right little curl
For ev'ry right little boy
When she comes you'll forget, all the others you've met
Sorrow will turn into joy
She doesn't have to be pretty, she doesn't have to be wise
When she comes you will find, tho' they say love is blind
She'll make you open your eyes
I was growing very fond of Molly
When along came Ruth, along came Ruth,
I thought an awful lot of Dolly, when Ruth came along
My head began to "Merrygoround," I almost married Polly
I was making love to May, when along came Ruth
And to tell the truth, she stole my heart away

With My Little Ukulele In My Hand
With My Little Ukulele In My Hand
Composer(s): Jack Cottrell
Performer(s): George Formby
Now everybody’s got a crazy notion of their own
Some like to mix up with a crowd, some like to be alone
It’s no one else’s business as far as I can see
But every time that I go out the people stare at me
With my little ukulele in my hand, of course the people do not understand
Some say why don’t you be a scout, why don’t you read a book?
But I get lots more pleasure when I’m playing with my uke
Of course I take no notice you can tell
For mother’s sound advice will always stand
She said "My boy do what I say and you’ll never go astray
If you keep your ukulele in your hand, yes son
Keep your ukulele in your hand"
While walking down the prom last night as peaceful as can be
When some young girl said "what about a stroll down by the sea?"
She said her name was Jane and that she’d just come for the day
She looked so young and harmless that I couldn’t turn away
So with my little ukulele in my hand, I took a stroll with Jane along the sand
We walked along for miles without a single care or frown
But when we reached the sand hills she said "Come on let’s sit down"
I felt so shy and bashful sitting there, ‘cause the things I said she didn’t understand
She said "Your love just turns me dizzy, come along big boy get busy"
But I kept my ukulele in my hand, yes sir, I kept my ukulele in my hand
Made up my mind that I’d get wed some eighteen months ago
I also bought a book about the things you want to know
But just about a week ago I got a awful fright
I had to get dressed quickly in the middle of the night
And with my little ukulele in my hand, I ran along the road for Dr. Brand
It didn’t take him long to get his little bag of tools
I held his hat and coat and let him have my book of rules
Out of the bedroom door he looked and smiled
He said, "Come inside and see your wife and child"
My heart it jumped with joy, I could see it was a boy
For he had a ukulele in his hand, oh baby
He had a ukulele in his hand
