My World Is Empty Without You


My World Is Empty Without You
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; Brian Holland; Eddie Holland
Originally performed by: The Supremes
Covered by various other artists



My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
And as I roam my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strength, I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear, I miss so much
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, baby

You've given me a true love
And every day I thank you, love
For the feeling that's so new
So exciting so inviting
Baby, baby, I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Pushing me closer and closer to your heart
Then suddenly
Your lips are touching mine
A feeling so divine
Til I leave my past behind

My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
From this cold world I try to hide my face
But from this loneliness there ain't no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house I dwell
In darkness, in memory I know so well
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
Without you babe
Without you babe...

Guerre


Guerre
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Au nom de la stupidité
Il faut haïr son prochain
Quand la colombe est blessée
La voilà qui revient

Guerre
C'est la guerre
Pour n'importe quoi la guerre

Guerre
C'est la guerre
Et même les dieux font la guerre

Et mourir pour une idée
Sans savoir si on s'est trompé
La guerre n'est qu'une putain
Pour qui l'amour n'est plus rien

Guerre
C'est la guerre
C'est n'importe quand la guerre

Guerre
C'est la guerre
C'est n'importe quoi la guerre

Je déclare une guerre
Sans merci à la guerre
Je m'engage pour me battre
Et faire la guerre contre la guerre

Guerre guerre
Guerre guerre
Guerre guerre
Je ferai la guerre à la guerre

Guerre guerre
Guerre guerre
Guerre guerre
Guerre guerre
Je ferai la guerre à la guerre

Guerre guerre
Guerre guerre
Oh! C'est la guerre

That Means A Lot


That Means A Lot
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles
and multiple other artists



A friend says that your love
Won't mean a lot
And you know that your love
Is all you've got
At times things are so fine
And at times they're not
But when she says she loves you
That means a lot

A friend says that a love
Is never true
And you know that this
Don't apply on you
A touch can mean so much
When it's all you've got
When she says she loves you
That means a lot

Love can be deep inside
Love can be suicide
Can't you see you can't hide
What you feel when it's real

A friend says that your love
Won't mean a lot
And you know that your love
Is all you've got
A touch can mean so much
When it's all you've got
But when she says she loves you
That means a lot

Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah

My Word! You Do Look Queer


My Word! You Do Look Queer
Composer(s): Bob Weston; Bert Lee
Performer(s): Stanley Holloway



I've been very poorly but now I feel prime
I've been out today for the very first time
I felt like a lad as I walked down the road
Then I met Old Jones and he said, 'Well I'm blowed!'
My word you do look queer!
My word you do look queer!
Oh, dear! You look dreadful: you've had a near shave
You look like a man with one foot in the grave'
I said, 'Bosh! l'm better; it's true I've been ill'
He said, 'I'm delighted you're better, but still
I wish you'd a thousand for me in your will
My word, you do look queer!'

That didn't improve me, it quite put me back
Still, I walked farther on, and I met Cousin jack
He looked at me hard and he murmured, 'Gee whiz!
It's like him! It can't be! It isn't! It is!
By gosh! Who'd have thought it? Well, well, I declare!
I'd never have known you except for your hair
My word you do look queer!
My word you do look queer!
Your cheeks are all sunk and your colour's all gone
Your neck's very scraggy, still you're getting on
How old are you now? About fifty, that's true
Your father died that age, your mother did too
Well, the black clothes I wore then'll come in for you
My word! You do look queer!'

That really upset me; I felt quite cast down
But I tried to buck up, and then up came old Brown
He stared at me hard, then he solemnly said
'You shouldn't be out, you should be home in bed
I heard you were bad, well I heard you were gone
You look like a corpse with an overcoat on
'My word you do look queer!
My word you do look queer!
You'd best have a brandy before you drop dead'
So, pale as a sheet, I crawled in the'King's Head'
The barmaid sobbed,'Oh you poor fellow,' and then
She said, 'On the slate you owe just one pound ten
You'd better pay up, we shan't see you again
My word you do look queer!'

My knees started knocking, I did feel so sad
Then Brown said, 'Don't die in a pub, it looks bad'
He said, 'Come with me, I'll show you what to do
Now I've got a friend who'll be useful to you'
He led me to Black's Undertaking Depot
And Black, with some crepe round his hat said, 'Hello
'My word you do look queer!
My word you do look queer!
Now we'll fix you up for a trifling amount
Now what do you say to a bit on account?'
I said, 'I'm not dying
'He said,'Don't say that!
My business of late has been terribly flat
But I'm telling my wife she can have that new hat!
My word, you do look queer!'

I crawled in the street and I murmured, 'I'm done'
Then up came Old Jenkins and shouted, 'By gum!'
'My word you do look well!
My word you do look well!
You're looking fine and in the pink!'
I shouted, 'Am I?... Come and have a drink!
You've put new life in me, I'm sounder than a bell
By gad! There's life in the old dog yet
My word I do feel well!'

That Makes It Tough


That Makes It Tough
Composer(s): Buddy Holly
Performer(s): Buddy Holly; Lazy Cowgirls



Time goes by, I'll still remember you
That makes it tough- Oh so tough
When you tell me you don't love me
That makes it tough- Oh so tough- oh oh oh
When you say you don't care no more

Memories will follow me forever
Though I know my dreams will not come true
All those precious things we shared together
Time goes by I'll still remember you

And that makes it tough- Oh so tough
When you tell me you don't love me
That makes it tough- Oh so tough- oh oh oh
When you say you don't care no more

That Lucky Fellow
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Jerome Kern
Performer(s): Robert Shackleton & Grace McDonald
and multiple other artists



That lucky fellow, who gets you
Who knows you love him, and lets you
Oh, how he'll laugh when you play the clown
Oh, how he'll mope while he works in town

But with each long day behind him
The failing sunlight will find him
Back in your arms, where he wants to be
How I'd want those arms, if I were he

That lucky lady who gets you
Who knows you love her, and lets you
Oh, how she'll laugh when you play the clown

But with each long day behind her
The failing sunlight will find her
Back in your arms, where she wants to be
How I'd want those arms, if I were she

Child Of Peace


Child Of Peace
Composer(s): Bob Farrell
Performer(s): Sandi Patti



On a night of promise long ago
When a star announced the light of hope
To a world that knew no peace before
The holy child of peace was born
But he stirred their longings deep within
For his kingdom knew no end
From a place eternal high above
The wondrous child of peace had come
Child of comfort, child of light
Hope that drowns away the night
Touch our lives from heaven above
Oh child of peace, we need your love
In a world where peace eludes us still
Where the heart exerts its will
At a time when words are not enough
Oh child of peace we need your love
Oh man of peace we need your love
God who only knows our need
Come to us, oh child of peace

My Woman, My Woman, My Wife


My Woman, My Woman, My Wife
Composer(s): Marty Robbins
Originally performed by: Marty Robbins
Covered by various other artists



Hands that are strong, but wrinkled
Doin' work that never gets done
Hair that's lost some of the beauty
By too many hours in the sun

Eyes that show some disappointment
And there's been quite a lot in her life
She's the foundation I lean on
My woman, my woman, my wife

Everyday has been uphill
Oh, we've climbed, but we can't reach the top
I'm weak and I'm easily discouraged
She just smiles when I want to stop

Lips that are weary but tender
With love that strengthens my life
A Saint in a dress made of gingham
My woman, my woman, my wife

Two little babies were born in the Spring
But died when the Winter was new
I lost control of my mind and my soul
But my woman's faith carried us through

When she reaches that river
Lord, you know what she's worth
Give her that mansion up yonder
'Cause she's been through hell here on Earth

Lord, give her my share of Heaven
If I've earned any here in this life
'Cause, God, I believe she deserves it
My woman, my woman, my wife

Performer(s): Mario Lanza;

Guardian angels around my bed
Joining me in my prayers
They hush the shadows
When they dance above
They shew away the bears

Guardian angels to comfort me
If I wake in the night
They gather all of my dreams
Their halo's are my light
They dry my tears
If I should weep
They tuck me
They rouse me from my sleep

Guardian angels around my head
Standing by till I rise
There's one with shinning wings
That holds my hand
And shows me paradise

Guardian angels to comfort me
If I wake in the night
They gather all of my dreams
Their halo's are my light
They dry my tears
If I should weep
They tuck me
They rouse me from my sleep

Guardian angels around my head
Standing by till I rise
There's one with shinning wings
That holds my hand
And shows me paradise

That Lovely Weekend


That Lovely Weekend
Composer(s): Moira Heath - Ted Heath
Performer(s): Vera Lynn
and multiple other artists



I haven’t said “Thanks” for that lovely weekend
Those two days in heaven you helped me to spend
The thrill of your kiss as you stepped off the train
The smile in your eyes was like sun after rain

To mark the occasion we went out to dine
Remember the laughter, the music, the wine
That drive in the taxi when midnight had flown
And breakfast next morning just we two alone

You had to go, the time was so short
We both had so much to say
Your kit to be packed, the train to be caught
Sorry I cried but I just felt that way

And now you have gone dear this letter I pen
My heart travels with you till we meet again
Keep smiling, my darling, and someday we’ll spend
A lifetime as sweet, a lifetime as sweet as
That lovely weekend

I haven’t said “Thanks” for that lovely weekend
Those two days in heaven you helped me to spend
And the thrill of your kiss as you stepped off the train
The smile in your eyes was like sun after rain

And to mark the occasion we went out to dine
Do you remember the laughter, how we laughed, and the music
Harry Roy’s Band, and,and the wine, no champagne, just er just wine
Then we waited a long time for a taxi, but we got one at last

And then breakfast the next morning, just we two alone
And then I had to go, and time was so short
And we both had so much to say, and you packed my kit
And the train had to be caught, and what a train
And then I cried

And now that you’ve gone dear, this letter I pen
My heart travels with you until we meet again
So keep smiling my darling and someday we’ll spend
A lifetime as sweet as that lovely weekend

My window faces the south I'm almost halfway to heaven
Snow is falling but still I can't see fields of cotton calling to me
My window faces the south and though I am far from the Swanee
I'm never frownin' or down in the mouth my window faces the south

My window faces the south...
My window faces the south

That Look In Your Eyes


That Look In Your Eyes
Performer(s): Ali Campbell



Show me a girl peace and harmony in her heart
When things go wrong there will be no falling apart
One who understands, that things aren't always gonna go right and
I'll show you a man who can show you the light

Show me a boy when the burden's on his shoulder
As time goes on seems to only make him bolder
Then I met you
Something that I can't explain
This feeling that I get is like I'm going insane

It's that look in your eyes, that say you love me
And all the silly things that you do
Those feelings that I get from the stars above me
Tells me you're for me And I'm the one for you

Hey, I thank you baby
I thank you baby I thank you

Show me a girl that can make me feel better
With a kiss sealed inside a perfumed letter
One who understands, when the tour is six months long
And waiting with open arms, 'cos it's been too long

Show me a boy whose loving that I'm missing
Who can be there when I need someone to listen
One who keeps in mind that I should never be alone
Because I'll be there even if it's by telephone

It's that look in your eyes, that say you love me
And all the silly things that you do
Those feelings that I get when ever you're near me
Tells me you're for me And I'm the one for you

Yeah, I thank you baby I thank you baby
Yeah, I thank you baby

My Wild Irish Rose


My Wild Irish Rose
Composer(s): Chauncey Olcott
Performer(s): John McCormack



If you'll listen, I'll sing you a sweet little song
Of a flower that's now drooped and dead
Yet dearer to me, yes, than all of its mates
Tho' each holds aloft its proud head
'Twas given to me by a girl that I know
Since we've met, faith, I've known no repose
She is dearer by far than the world's brightest star
And I call her my wild Irish Rose
My wild Irish Rose
The sweetest flow'r that grows
You may search ev'rywhere
But none can compare
With my wild Irish Rose
My wild Irish Rose
The dearest flow'r that grows
And some day for my sake
She may let me take
The bloom from my wild Irish Rose

They may sing of their roses which, by other names
Would smell just as sweetly, they say
But I know that my Rose would never consent
To have that sweet name taken away
Her glances are shy when e'er I pass by
The bower, where my true love grows
And my one wish has been that some day I may win
The heart of my wild Irish Rose
My wild Irish Rose
The sweetest flow'r that grows
You may search ev'rywhere
But none can compare
With my wild Irish Rose
My wild Irish Rose
The dearest flow'r that grows
And some day for my sake
She may let me take
The bloom from my wild Irish Rose

Guantanamera (French Version)


Guantanamera
Composer(s): Hector Angulo;
José Marti; J.M. Rivat; Pete Seeger
Performer(s): Joe Dassin; Nana Mouskouri



Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera
Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera

C'était un homme en déroute
C'était un frère, sans doute
Il n'avait ni lien ni place
Et sur les routes de l'exil
Sur les sentiers, sur les places
Il me parlait de sa ville

Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera
Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera

Là-bas, sa maison de misère
Etait plus blanche que le coton
Les rues de sable et de terre
Sentaient le rhum et le melon
Sous leurs jupons de dentelle
Dieu que les femmes étaient belles

Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera
Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera

Il me reste toute la terre
Mais je n'en demandais pas tant
Quand j'ai passé la frontière
Il n' y avait plus rien devant
J'allais d'escale en escale
Loin de ma terre natale

Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera
Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera

Guantanamera, Guantanamera
