Do You Believe Me Now


Do You Believe Me Now Composer(s): Max D. Barnes - Vern Gosdin Performer(s): Vern Gosdin



Don’t you think you should have called?
To tell me you were coming down
Oh you look so out of place on this troubled side of town
It’s a place where losers go when they know there’s nothing left
And after losing you I just lost the will to live

Do you believe me now?
I told you time and time again
My heart and soul is your hands do you believe me now?
Do you believe me now?
Look at the living I endure
I ain’t nothing without you do you believe me now?

I don’t know what changed your mind, come-on ask if this is real
I don’t know what if you’re a dream I only know how good it feels
If you could find it in your heart to say the fire for me still burns
I’ll find a place to turn around down this road of no return

Do you believe me now?
I told you time and time again
My heart and soul is your hands do you believe me now?
Do you believe me now?
Look at the living I endure
I ain’t nothing without you do you believe me now?

As Time Goes By (Frances Williams)


As Time Goes By
Composer(s): Herman Hupfield
First performance: Frances Williams - 1931
Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages:
1983 - Privé D'amour (by Christophe)
1986 - Le Temps Qui Passe (by Eddy Mitchell)
1996 - O' Tiempo Se Ne Va (by Gino Paoli)
2006 - As Time Goes By (by Rhythms del Mundo & Ibrahim Ferrer)



You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh, the fundamental things apply
As time goes by ...

An' when two lovers woo, they still say "I love you"
On that you can rely, no matter what the future brings
As time goes by ...

Moonlight an' love songs never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy an' hate
Woman needs man and man must have his mate
That no one can deny ...

It's still the same old story, a fight for love an' glory
A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by ...

It's still the same old story, a fight for love an' glory
A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by ...

Do You Believe In Shame?


Do You Believe In Shame? Composer(s): Simon Lebon - Nick Rhodes - Andy Taylor Performer(s): Duran Duran



Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in shame?
And if love can conquer all
Then why do we only feel the pain?

I heard you speak my name
Heard you singing The Stones
Maybe heard you laughing in a line of static
On my telephone

So why your eyelids are closed
Inside a case of rust
And did you have to change
All your poets fire into frozen dust

I've tried to justify it to learn from your mistake
But where's the stupid lie that has to make it's point
With such a pointless waste

Come out

Do you believe in shame?
Do you believe in love?
And if they taste the same
Would you love again or abandon both?

I don't think I ever can
Believe my friend has gone
Keep saying it's alright I'm going to bring you back
But I know I'm wrong

There's nothing I can say
There's nothing left to do
It's just that lately I feel so damn lonely
When I think of you

And it may seem selfish now
But I'll hold on to the memory
Until all this fear is washed away
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in life?
'Cos I believe a little part of you inside of me
Will never die...

Le Temps Qui Passe


Le Temps Qui Passe ((aka Privé D'amour (by Christophe) - 1983)
((Adapted from: As Time Goes By (by Frances Williams) - 1931))
Composer(s): Herman Hupfield - Boris Bergman
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1986



Faudrait pas qu't'oublies
Une nuit c'est pour une nuit
Fini veut dire fini
C'est comme ça, que veux-tu que j'y fasse
C'est l'temps qui passe
Fauché ou les poches pleines
On s'dit toujours je t'aime
Ça sera toujours comme ça
La dessus tu ne peux pas faire l'impasse
C'est le temps qui passe
Les violons sous la lune
Oui ça marche encore
J'me grille une autre brune
Tu vois j'fais un effort
L'homme pour la femme
Ça se joue à pile et face
C'est chaque chose à sa place
C'est toujours la même histoire
Ça parle d'amour de gloire
A la vie à la mort
Ça colle et puis un jour ça s'casse
C'est le temps qui passe
C'est toujours le même vieux truc
Princesse, palace en stuc
Amour, impaire et passe
C'est beau mais voilà ça s'efface
C'est le temps qui passe
Les violons sous la lune
Oui ça marche encore
J'me grille une autre brune
Tu vois j'fais un effort
L'homme pour la femme
Ça se joue à pile et face
C'est chaque chose à sa place
Faudrait pas qu'tu oublies
Une nuit c'est pour une nuit
Fini veut dire fini
C'est comme ça, que veux-tu que j'y fasse
C'est l'temps qui passe

Do You Believe In Magic?


Do You Believe In Magic? ((Japanese Version: Do You Believe in Magic (Arcorhyme) - 2008)) Composer(s): John Sebastian First release by: The Lovin' Spoonful - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists



Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll

If you believe in magic don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen it'll start with a smile
It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find
How you got there, so just blow your mind

If you believe in magic, come along with me
We'll dance until morning 'til there's just you and me
And maybe, if the music is right
I'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night
And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see
How the magic's in the music and the music's in me

Yeah, do you believe in magic
Yeah, believe in the magic of a young girl's soul
Believe in the magic of rock and roll
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Ohh, talking 'bout magic

Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic
Do you believe like I believe Do you believe, believer
Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic

As The Years Go By


As The Years Go By
Performer(s): Mashmakhan



A child asks his mother do you love me
And it really means will you protect me
His mother answers him I love you
And it really means
You've been a good boy
And as the years go by
True love will never die

At seventeen a girl says do you love me
And it really means will you respect me
The teenage boy answers I love you
And it really means
Can I make love to you
And as the years go by
True love will never die

I will love you forever
I will love you forever

At sixty five his wife says
Do you love me
And it means I'd like to hear it again
Her husband says to her I love you
But it really means I love you till the end
And as the years go by
True love will never die

Now you're asking me if I love you
And it really means will I marry you
And I answer yes I love you
But it really means that I won't be untrue
And as the years go by
True love will never die

I will love you forever
I will love you forever

Do You Believe In Love


Do You Believe In Love
Composer(s): Robert John "Mutt" Lange
Performer(s): Huey Lewis & The News



I was walking down a one way street
Just a looking for someone to meet
One woman who was looking for a man
Now I'm hoping that the feeling is right
And I'm wondering if you'll stay for the night
So I'm coming (I don't wanna be lonely)
I wanna love you all over

Do you believe in love
Do you believe it's true
Do you believe in love
Oh you can bet I believe it too

Now the feeling is beginning to grow
And the meaning is something you only know
If you believe it take my hand and I'll take your heart
Now I'm wondering where does true love begin
I'm going under so I'm lettin' you in
My woman (I don't wanna be lonely)
I wanna love you all over

Do you believe in love
Do you believe it' true
Do you believe in love
Oh you can bet I believe it too

I used to have you in a photograph
(I'm so glad it's changed)
But now I've got you and it's gonna last
(Do you believe in love)

Do you believe in love
Do you believe it' true
Do you believe in love
Oh you can bet I believe it too

As The World Turns


As The World Turns
Performer(s): Bryan Ferry



There's a place in my heart
All broken and still
Where I may wander alone
At the end of the day
As the world turns
I turn to thoughts of home
Though you're far away I imagine
How you would smile at this romance
And sure enough
As the world turns
And so to games of chance
Take my part in this play
You're dealing me words I never could use
That strange beginning has no ending
When curtain falls we both lose
Though we're far apart on this old carousel
The ups and downs we share
Just remember surely as the world turns
In dreams I will be there by your side

Pum, catapum, pum, pum, ¡cómo nos gusta el verano!

Ir a la playa solos para tranquilos
Y si no vamos solos vamos con todos los amigos

Nos gusta ver muchos barcos, ver mucha gente contenta
Y ver a la viejecita sentadita en su puerta

Pum, catapum, pum, pum, por fin ya viene el buen tiempo
Pum, catapum, pum, pum, ya se quitó el frío viento

Todos ya y también , y todos ya siempre, siempre contentos

As The World Falls Down


As The World Falls Down
Composer(s): David Bowie
First release by: David Bowie - 1986



There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed within your eyes
I'll place the sky within your eyes

There's such a fooled heart
Beating so fast in search of new dreams
A love that will last within your heart
I'll place the moon within your heart

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gonst
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-oo-oo
As the world falls down

Falling
(As the world) Falling down
Falling in love

I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings
Though we're strangers till now
We're choosing the path between the stars
I'll leave my love between the stars

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gonst
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-oo-oo
As the world falls down

Falling
(As the world) Falling down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down

Ahhhhh... In this life I've seen everything I can see woman I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides And I've seen pigs all sittin' watching, picture slides But I never seen nothing like you Do ya do ya want my life Do ya do ya want my love Do ya do ya want my face Do ya do ya want my mind Well I, heard the crowd singin' out of tune, As they, sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums But I never heard nothin' like you In the country where the sky touches down On the field, she lay her down to rest In the morning sun They come a'runnin' just to get a look, just to Feel to touch her long black hair they don't give a damn Do ya do ya want my life Do ya do ya want my love Do ya do ya want my face Do ya do ya want my mind Well I think you understand what I'm trying to say woman That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day I've seen enough of the world to know, baby That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow Do ya do ya want my life Do ya do ya want my love Do ya do ya want my face Do ya do ya want my mind Look out baby there's a plane a comin'

As The Sun Still Burns Away


As The Sun Still Burns Away
Composer(s): Alvin Lee
Performer(s): Ten Years After



A thousand cities in the night
Each one waiting for the light
Ten million people plan their day
As the sun still burns away

As the earth just spins in space
People plan their daily race
As the sun still burns away
Few say "thank you for the day"
All the people in their ties
Forget to look up at the sky
They exist another day
As the sun still burns away

I wonder just how long we’ll last
When the final die is cast
Every day brings forth the time
When the sun forgets to shine

Do What You Wanna Do


Do What You Wanna Do Composer(s): John Latouche - Vernon Duke Performer(s): Diahann Carroll



Do what you wanna do
It's your life and brother it's up to you

Say what you wanna say
Speak your piece and trouble will fly away

Go on and live like a crazy elf
Put your inhibitions up on the shelf

You're sure to be what you wanna be
If you're free to do what you wanna do

As The Raven Flies


As The Raven Flies
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



I see the raven's made
Her nest in your eyes
She's got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And you'll go under from
The weight of her lies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies

She'll bring you stories
That just never sound true
She'll bring you secrets
That were never meant for you
And just as you come round
She'll send you back through
She's in love with you
She's in love with you

Darker, darker
Don't let her talk her way
Into you.
Lonely, lonely
You know she's only
No good for you

I see the raven's made
Her nest in your eyes
She's got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And you'll go under from
The weight of her lies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies

As The Night Goes By


As The Night Goes By
Performer(s): Patti Smith



Darlin' come under cover
Another night to discover
Let's slip where senses gather
Let's drift between the sea and sky
As the night goes by

Sands shift
Orchids so strange
In the moonlight
Brushing our faces
Places where love blooms
And dies
While the night goes by
Oh, and the spirits call
Sun upon your shadows fall
Tracing every breath we draw

Come into my dreams
Come into my dreams
Darlin' let's go where the night goes
Let's drift where senses gather
Let's make this night last forever
Into my dreams
Into my dreams

Darlin' let's go
Where the night goes
Time slips
Oh darlin' how it flies
When the night goes by

All through the night
Sirens call
Come to me
I'll come to you
As the night softly
goes by bye

Midnight
Moon on our shoulder
Daybreak
Another one older
Darlin' heavenly blue
Glories fade into view

Let's go
Under the stars
That are beating
Under the moonlight
Stars shoot
Dusk just a whisper
Make this night
Last forever
Oh how I wonder
Where the night goes
Oh Let's wonder
Where the night goes
As the night goes
By bye
By Bye

Do What You Do, Do Well


Do What You Do, Do Well Composer(s): Ned Miller First release by: Ned Miller - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages: 1965 - Gør Hvad Du Kan (Gustav Winckler) 1966 - Prends La Vie Comme Elle Vient (Sheila)



He couldn’t move a mountain
Or pull down a big oak tree
But my Daddy became a mighty big man
With this simple philosophy

Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well

Sometimes he’d kiss my mother
And hold her tenderly
Then he’d look across the top of her head
Then he’d wink and say to me

Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well

Well he was a man of laughter
But a tragedy came by
The tears ran free and he’d say to me
Never be afraid to cry

Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well

Today I still remember just like yesterday
About a mighty big man
With a mighty big heart
And a mighty few words to say

Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
As the crow flies baby
Well, I ain't so far from you
As the crow flies baby
Well, I ain't so far from you
But since I don't have wings
I can't get home as fast as I want to
Um um um hoo

As the crow flies baby
Well, I ain't so far from you
As the crow flies baby
Well, I ain't so far from you
But since I don't have wings
I can't get home as fast as I want to

In a dream last night
Where I heard you call my name
In a dream last night
Where I heard you call my name
Well, I took it as an omen
And I jumped on the very first freight train

Yeah..... as the crow flies

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Well, you don't know baby
How I miss your sweet caress
Well, you don't know baby
How I miss your sweet caress
When I'm in your lovin' arms
I swear I'm at my very best

As the crow flies baby
That's how I'm on my way
As the crow flies baby
I'm on my way

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

If I don't stop runnin'
I can get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day

Do What You Do


Do What You Do Composer(s): Larry DiTomaso - R. Palladino Performer(s): Jermaine Jackson



Why don't you do what you do
When you did what you did to me
Love was so good, that it fills up all my needs
I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me
How could something so right, go so wrong
My love, sweet love
Why don't you say what you say
When you say what you said anymore
Your eyes couldn't lie, so long goodbye, close the door
I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me
How could something so right go so wrong
Tell me something I didn't do
Why did someone else put you through
Did they steal you away like a thief in the night
Love like wings, must take flight
Why don't they play what they played
On the nights you danced with me
Remember the one we made love to endlessly
I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me
How could something so right go so wrong

As Tears Go By


As Tears Go By
((Danish Version: Se Ud På Børnene (by Bamses Venner) - 1977))
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Andrew Loog Oldham - Keith Richards
First release by: Marianne Faithfull - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by

My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch
As tears go by

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doing things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch
As tears go by
