Don't Get Me Wrong


Don't Get Me Wrong Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde First release by: The Pretenders - 1986 Covered by multiple other artists



Don't get me wrong
If I'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by

Don't get me wrong
If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Don't get me wrong

Don't get me wrong
If I'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile

Don't get me wrong
If I split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile

Once in a while
Two people meet
Seemingly for no reason
They just pass on the street
Suddenly thunder showers everywhere
Who can explain the thunder and rain
But there's something in the air

Don't get me wrong
If I come and go like fashion
I might be great tomorrow
But hopeless yesterday

Don't get me wrong
If I fall in the mode of passion
It might be unbelievable
But let's not stay so long
It might just be fantastic
Don't get me wrong

Aux Marches Du Palais


Aux Marches Du Palais
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Yves Montand
and multiple other artists



Aux marches du palais
Aux marches du palais
Y a une tant belle fille lonla
Y a une tant belle fille

Elle a tant d'amoureux
Qu'elle ne sait lequel prendre

C'est un p'tit cordonnier
Qu'a eu sa préférence

C'est en la lui chaussant
Qu'il lui fit sa demande

La belle si tu voulais
Nous dormirions ensemble

Dans un grand lit carré
Orné de toile blanche

Aux quatre coins du lit
Un bouquet de pervenches

Dans le mitan du lit
La rivière est profonde

Tous les chevaux du roi
Pourraient y boire ensemble

Et nous y dormirions
Jusqu'à la fin du monde

Don't Get Me Started


Don't Get Me Started
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins



Don’t get me started on politicians
And the lies they spread
Don’t even mention sex and religion
And who they take to bed
But if you see me running down the street
Know where I’m running to
I’m tired of honesty being denied us
I’m coming looking for you

Don’t hold me down, I’m on my way
And nothing’s gonna turn me round
Don’t turn around, give it to me straight
I’m on my way and nothing’s gonna shake me
I’ll hold my ground
Wild horses won’t make me

Don’t get me started on information
Magazines and t.v.
There’s one man under his big umbrella
While it’s raining on you and me
Everyday it’s getting harder to judge
Fiction from fact
I’m tired of truth being denied me
It’s mine and I want it back

Don’t hold me down, I’m on my way
And nothing’s gonna turn me round
Don’t turn around, give it to me straight
I’m on my way and nothing’s gonna shake me
I’ll hold my ground
Wild horses won’t make me

Business as usual in our pressure steamer
Where reality slips from view
They say that we can’t take it
I think I can, can you?

Don’t get me started on blood and thunder
With people flying blind
Not caring what or who they take with them
Or what they leave behind
It’s one mans God against another
While the river of tears roll by
The things they do in the name of their father
Can someone tell me why

Don’t hold me down, I’m on my way
And nothing’s gonna turn me round
Don’t turn around, give it to me straight
I’m on my way and nothing’s gonna shake me
I’ll hold my ground
Don’t get me started

Don't Get Around Much Anymore


Don't Get Around Much Anymore Composer(s): Duke Ellington - Bob Russell First release by: The Ink Spots - 1942 Covered by multiple other artists



When I'm not playing solitaire
I take a book down from the shelf
And what with programs on the air
I keep pretty much to myself

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore

Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore

Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories

Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories

Awfully different without you

Composer(s): Giovanni Battista Viotti - Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle - Serge Gainsbourg

Allons enfant de la patrie
Le jour de gloire est arrivé
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L'étendard sanglant est levé

Aux armes et caetera

Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras
Egorger nos fils nos compagnes

Aux armes et caetera

Amour sacré de la patrie
Conduis soutiens nos bras vengeurs
Liberté liberté chérie
Combats avec tes défenseurs

Aux armes et caetera

Nous entrerons dans la carrière
Quand nos aînés n'y seront plus
Nous y trouverons leur poussière
Et la trace de leurs vertus

Aux armes et caetera

Don't Gamble With Love


Don't Gamble With Love Composer(s): Paul Anka Performer(s): Paul Anka; Alton Ellis; Hortense Ellis



Don't gamble with love
It's only for fools
So play by the rules
Don't gamble with love

Oh don't gamble with love
You will lose it for sure
There'll be no cure
When you gamble with love

You can gamble your house, gamble your car
Gamble your hopes just as far
As the stars up above
But don't you gamble with love

Don't gamble with love
It's only for fools
So play by the rules
Don't gamble with love

Don't gamble with love
It's only for fools
So play by the rules
Don't gamble with love

The Autumn Waltz


The Autumn Waltz
Composer(s): Hilliard - Coleman
Performer(s): Tony Bennett



Chill winds and blue skies are everywhere
And I'm sentimental cause I still care
Constantly dreaming of one love affair
When I hear the Autumn waltz

Golden october is when we met
Wind dries the leaves but my eyes stay wet
You are the one love that I can't forget
When I hear the Autumn waltz

Come back to me, come back to me
High on the haystack is where I'll be
The new harvest dance is about to begin
And the barn is a palace when sweethearts walk in

No strings this season I'm on my own
It's the loneliest feeling I've ever known
If you don't show up I'll just walk home alone
When they play the Autumn waltz
When they play the Autumn waltz

Don't Forget To Remember


Don't Forget To Remember Composer(s): Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb First release by: The Bee Gees - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists



Oh my heart won't believe that you have left me
I keep telling my self that it's true
I can get over anything you want my love
But I can't get myself over you

Don't forget to remember me
And the love that used to be
I still remember you
I love you
In my heart lies a memory to tell the stars above
Don't forget to remember me my love

On my wall lies a photograph of you girl
Though I try to forget you somehow
You're the mirror of my soul so take me out of my hole
Let me try to go on living right now

Don't forget to remember me
And the love that used to be
I still remember you
I love you
In my heart lies a memory to tell the stars above
Don't forget to remember me my love

Autumn To May


Autumn To May
Composer(s): Peter Yarrow - Noel Paul Stookey
First release by: Peter, Paul and Mary - 1962



Oh once I had a little dog, his color it was brown
I taught him for to whistle, to sing and dance and run
His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide
Around the world in half a day, upon him I could ride

Sing Tarry-O Day, Sing, Autumn to May

Oh once I had a little frog, he wore a vest of red
He'd lean upon his silver cane, a top hat on his head
He'd speak of far off places, of things to see and do
Of all the Kings and Queens he'd met while sailing in a shoe

Sing Tarry-O Day, Sing, Autumn to May

Oh once I had a flock of sheep, they grazed upon a feather
I'd keep them in a music box from wind or rainy weather
And every day the sun would shine, they'd fly all through the town
To bring me back some golden rings, candy by the pound

Sing Tarry-O Day, Sing, Autumn to May

Oh once I had a downey swan, she was so very frail
She sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail
The snail had changed into a bird, the bird to butterfly
And he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie

Sing Tarry-O Day, Sing, Autumn to May

Don't Forget To Dance


Don't Forget To Dance Composer(s): Ray Davies First release by: The Kinks - 1983



You look out of your window
Into the night
Could be rain, could be snow
But it can't feel as cold as you're feeling inside

And all of you friends are either married, vanished
Or just left alone
But that's no reason to just stop living
That's no excuse to just give in to a sad and lonely heart

Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
Don't forget to smile
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
Forget it for a while

'Cause darling, darling
I bet you danced a good one in your time
And if this were a party
I'd really make sure the next one would be mine
Yes, you with the broken heart

Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
Don't forget to smile
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
Forget it for a while

Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
Forget it for a while

You walk down the street
And all the young punks whistle at you
A nice bit of old
Just goes to show what you can achieve
with the right attitude
As you pass them by
They whisper their remarks one to another
And you give them the eye
Even that you know that you could be their mother
You do the thing you love the most
What separates you from the rest
And what you love to do the most?
And when they ask me how you dance
I say that you dance real close

Don't forget to dance, no, no, no
Don't forget to dance

Autumn Serenade


Autumn Serenade
Composer(s): Peter De Rose - Sammy Gallop
Performer(s): Harry James
and multiple other artists



Thru the trees comes autumn with her serenade
Melodies the sweetest music ever played
Autumn kisses we knew are beautiful souvenirs
As I pause to recall the leaves seem to fall like tears
Silver stars were clining to an autumn sky
Love was ours until October wandered by
Let the years come and go
I'll still feel the glow that time can not fade
When I hear that lovely autumn serenade

Don't Forget To Cry


Don't Forget To Cry Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant Performer(s): The Everly Brothers; Mandy Barnett



You always said you'd shed a million teardrops
If we should part, if ever we should part
But now you're gonna leave me high and dry
So, goodbye baby, Don't Forget To Cry
The tears you shed would build a brand new river
If we were through, if ever we were through
But now somebody new has caught your eye
So, goodbye baby, Don't Forget To Cry

But now somebody new has caught your eye
So, goodbye baby, Don't Forget To Cry

The tears you shed would build a brand new river
If we were through, if ever we were through
But now somebody new has caught your eye
So, goodbye baby, Don't Forget To Cry

Autumn Of My Life


Autumn Of My Life
Composer(s): Bobby Goldsboro
Performer(s): Bobby Goldsboro; Bobby Bare; Hargus "Pig" Robbins



In the spring of my life she came to me
She brought sunshine where winter winds had blown
Then I took her for my wife in the spring of my life
And she brought me a joy I'd never known

And the years they went by in the spring of my life
And in summer she blessed me with a child
Love continued to grow in the summer of my life
And in every morning sun I saw her smile

But in the autumn of my years I noticed the tears
And I knew that our life was in the past
Though I tried to pretend, I knew it was the end
For the autumn of my life had come at last

Now what, what do you say to a child of ten?
How do you tell him his daddy's goin' away?
Do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my life
And that he'll understand some winter's day?

Now a rose can't be found on a snow-covered ground
And the sun cannot shine through cloudy skies
But I'm richer, you see, for the years she gave to me
And I'm content in the autumn of my life

Don't Forget The Coffee Billy Joe


Don't Forget The Coffee Billy Joe Composer(s): Tom T. Hall First release by: Tom T. Hall - 1973



It snowed the night before and it had frozen on the ground
We didn't have a car and we lived seven miles from town
And I can hear my daddy's voice so many years ago
Saying, "Don't forget the coffee Billy Joe."
"Mama needs her medicine, she's got that real bad cough
We'll get our check on Monday, tell ol' Sam we'll pay him off
You can catch a ride when you get to the black-top road
Don't forget the coffee Billy Joe"

Me and Quentin went back on the hill
and we cut some wood Burnin'
in that ol' warm mornin' stove
it sure smelled good
Daddy couldn't get work then and I was just a child
And God was on vacation for awhile

"Well, if you see Fred you tell him I'll come help him kill them hogs
And ask him if he'd still be interested in my dogs
Don't hang around that pool room all day, we might get more snow
And don't forget the coffee Billy Joe"

Well, they wonder why there ain't no rabbits left this day
and time To tell the truth
I guess we ate 'em all in '49
Was that yesterday or was it over 20 years ago

"Don't forget the coffee Billy Joe"
"Mama needs her medicine, she's got that real bad cough
We'll get our check on Monday
tell ol' Sam we'll pay him off
You can catch a ride when you get to the black-top road
Don't forget the coffee Billy Joe (Now pay attention, son)
Don't forget the coffee Billy Joe"

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimais moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants désunis

Don't Forget Old Dixie Land


Don't Forget Old Dixie Land Composer(s): E.S. Huntington - Leslie Taylor



Going away, boy, going today, boy
You must go up North you say
You know 'twill grieve us, boy, when you leave us
Things are too dull, you can't stay
Look in my eyes, boy
You think it wise, boy
To leave your Southern home
We say to you, boy, be brave and true, boy
No matter where you may roam

Mother, a letter, saying he's better
He's coming back home today
He could not stay there, so far away there
He's coming back now to stay
There is the train now
He's here again now
See him he waves his hand
We've got him back, dear
He's still our Jack, dear
Welcome to old Dixie land

Don't forget old Dixie land, let you heart be true
Southern son of Southern birth, she'll always welcome you
Though near or far, where'er you are, for Dixie take your stand
Forget all else, my boy, but don't forget old Dixie land!

Oh! je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes
Des jours heureux où nous étions amis
En ce temps-là la vie était plus belle
Et le soleil plus brûlant qu'aujourd'hui
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié...
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi
Et le vent du nord les emporte
Dans la nuit froide de l'oubli
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié
La chanson que tu me chantais

C'est une chanson qui nous ressemble
Toi, tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Et nous vivions tous deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimais, moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement, sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable
Les pas des amants désunis

Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi
Mais mon amour silencieux et fidèle
Sourit toujours et remercie la vie
Je t'aimais tant, tu étais si jolie
Comment veux-tu que je t'oublie?
En ce temps-là, la vie était plus belle
Et le soleil plus brûlant qu'aujourd'hui
Tu étais ma plus douce amie
Mais je n'ai que faire des regrets
Et la chanson que tu chantais
Toujours, toujours je l'entendrai!

C'est une chanson qui nous ressemble
Toi, tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Et nous vivions tous deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimais, moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement, sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable

Sono per me
le foglie morte
i sogni miei
che hai preso tu

Morì così
il nostro amore
scese l'autunno

Foglie morte son
le illusioni
vissute allora
insieme a te

E l'amore non è più
che un sogno
un sogno già spento
per te

Foglie morte son
le illusioni
vissute allora
insieme a te

E l'amore non è più
che un sogno
un sogno già spento
