I Can Still Make Cheyenne


I Can Still Make Cheyenne
Composer(s): Aaron Barker; Erv Woolsey
Performer(s): George Strait
Covered by multiple other artists



Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine
She heard his voice on the other end of the line
She wondered what was wrong this time
She never knew what his calls might bring
With a cowboy like him it could be anything
And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind

He said, "It's cold out here and I'm all alone
I didn't make the short go again and I'm coming home
I know I've been away too long
I never got a chance to write or call
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
But I'll be home soon and honey is there something wrong?"

She said, "Don't bother comin' home
By the time you get here I'll be long gone
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man"
He said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss
But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne

He left that phone danglin' off the hook
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
Then he just walked away
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line
With a little luck he could still get there in time
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say

She said, "Don't bother comin' home
By the time you get here I'll be long gone
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man"
He said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss
But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne

Je T'Aime À En Sourire


Je T'Aime À En Sourire
English & German Versions: Goodbye My Love, Goodbye
Composer(s): M. Panas; K. Munro; S. Lama
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri



Le soleil s'est enfin levé
Mes yeux sont enfin ouverts
Depuis l'heure où je t'ai trouvé
C'en est fini de mes hivers

Je t'aime à en sourire
Je t'aime à en pleurer
J'ai brûlé au feu de l'oubli
Le moindre souvenir
Je t'aime à en souffrir
Je t'aime sans raison
Sans savoir qui tu es
Et sans savoir ton nom

Chaque nuit comme au premier jour
Nos cœurs se parlent d'amour
J'ai gardé la timidité
Du temps où je t'ai rencontré

Je t'aime à en sourire
Je t'aime à en pleurer
J'ai brûlé au feu de l'oubli
Le moindre souvenir
Je t'aime à en souffrir
Je t'aime sans raison
Sans savoir qui tu es
Et sans savoir ton nom

Je t'aime à en sourire
Je t'aime à en pleurer
J'ai brûlé au feu de l'oubli
Le moindre souvenir
Je t'aime à en souffrir
Je t'aime sans raison
Sans savoir qui tu es
Et sans savoir ton nom

Tin Soldier


Tin Soldier
Composer(s): Steve Marriott - Ronnie Lane
First release by: Small Faces - 1967



I'm a little tin soldier
that wants to jump into your fire
you are a look in your eye
a dream passing by in the sky
I don't understand
all I need is treat me like a man
'cause I ain't no child
take me like I am
I got to know that I belong to you
do anything that you want to do
sing any so song that you want me to sing to you
I don't need no aggravation
I just got to make you
I just got to make you my occupation
I got to know that I belong to you
do anything that you want to do
sing any so song that you want me to sing to you
All I need is your whispered hello
smiles melting the snow
nothing heard
you eyes are deeper than time
say a love that won't rhyme without words
so now I've lost my way
I need help to show me things to say
give me your love before mine fades away
I got to know that I belong to you
do anything that you want to do
sing any so song that you want me to sing to you
oh no, no
I just want some reaction
someone to give me satisfaction
all I want to do is stick with you, 'cause I love you

Covered by multiple other artists



I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you've played
And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Because all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

You took advantage of my trust in you when I was so far away
I saw you holding lots of other guys and now you've got the nerve to say

That you still want me
Well, that's as may be
But you got to stand trial
Because all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal are mine to see on clear days
You thought that I would need a crystal ball to see right through the haze

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Because all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
and miles and miles and miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles

Je T'Aime (Yves Montand)


Je T'Aime
Composer(s): Paul Eluard;
Nush Eluard; Philippe Gérard
Performer(s): Yves Montand



Je t'aime pour toutes les femmes
Que je n'ai pas connues
Je t'aime pour tout le temps
Où je n'ai pas vécu
Pour l'odeur du grand large
Et l'odeur du pain chaud
Pour la neige qui fond
Pour les premières fleurs
Pour les animaux purs
Que l'homme n'effraie pas
Je t'aime pour aimer
Je t'aime pour toutes les femmes
Que je n'aime pas

Qui me reflète sinon toi-même
Je me vois si peu
Sans toi je ne vois rien
Qu'une étendue déserte
Entre autrefois et aujourd'hui
Il y a eu toutes ces morts
Que j'ai franchies
Sur de la paille
Je n'ai pas pu percer
Le mur de mon miroir
Il m'a fallu apprendre
Mot par mot la vie
Comme on oublie

Je t'aime pour ta sagesse
Qui n'est pas la mienne
Pour la santé je t'aime
Contre tout ce qui n'est qu'illusion
Pour ce cœur immortel
Que je ne détiens pas
Que tu crois être le doute
Et tu n'es que raison
Tu es le grand soleil
Qui me monte à la tête
Quand je suis sûr de moi
Quand je suis sûr de moi

Tu es le grand soleil
Qui me monte à la tête
Quand je suis sûr de moi
Quand je suis sûr de moi

Tin Man


Tin Man
Composer(s): Dewey Bunnell
Performer(s): America



Sometimes late when things are real
And people share the gift of gab between themselves
Some are quick to take the bait
And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves

But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

So please believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles

Oh, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

So please believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles

No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

So please believe in me

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone

Sun shiny day

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun shiny day

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies

I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun shiny day

Je T'Aime (Jacques Brel)


Je T'Aime
Composer(s): François Rauber; Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel



Pour la rosée qui tremble au calice des fleurs
De n'être pas aimée et ressemble à ton cœur
Je t'aime
Pour le noir de la pluie au clavecin de l'étang
Jouant page de lune et ressemble à ton chant
Je t'aime
Pour l'aube qui balance sur le fil d'horizon
Lumineuse et fragile et ressemble à ton front
Je t'aime

À l'aurore légère qu'un oiseau fait frémir
En la battant de l'aile et ressembles à ton rire
Je t'aime
Pour le jour qui se lève et dentelles de bois
Au point de la lumière et ressemble à ta joie
Je t'aime
Pour le jour qui revient d'une nuit sans amour
Et ressemble déjà, ressemble à ton retour
Je t'aime
Pour la porte qui s'ouvre pour le cri qui jaillit
Ensemble de deux cœurs et ressemble à ce cri
Je t'aime...
Je t'aime
Je t'aime

Tin Angel


Tin Angel
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
First release by: Tom Rush - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



Varnished weeds in window jars
Tarnished beads on tapestries
Kept in satin boxes are
Reflections of love's memories

Letters from across the seas
Roses dipped in sealing wax
Valentines and maple leaves
Tucked into a paperback

Guess I'll throw them all away
I found someone to love today

Dark with darker moods is he
Not a golden Prince who's come
Through columbines and wizardry

To talk of castles in the sun

Still I'll take a chance and see
I found someone to love today

There's a sorrow in his eyes
Like the angel made of tin
What will happen if I try
To place another heart in him

In a Bleeker Street cafe
I found someone to love today
I found someone to love today

Toi Et Le Soleil


Toi Et Le Soleil
Adapted from: I Can See Clearly Now - 1972
Composer(s): Johnny Nash; Eddy Marnay
Performer(s): Claude François - 1977



Nous n'aurons plus jamais un jour de pluie
Tous les nuages se sont dissipés
Il faut me croire, encore, quand je te dis
Je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Nous avons passé le temps des yeux rougir
Et tout le mal nous l'avons oublié
Un arc-en-ciel a remplacé la nuit
Je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Hier encore dans mon coeur j'avais froid
Hier encore, je vivais sans toi...
Nous n'aurons plus jamais un seul jour de pluie
Oui, tous les nuages se sont dissipés
Il faut me croire encore quand je te dis
Je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Oui je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Je ne vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil
Vois plus que toi (toi), toi (toi) et le soleil...

Je T'Aime (Gilbert Bécaud)


Je T'Aime
Composer(s): Maurice Vidalin; Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud



Ferme la porte et assieds-toi
Ce soir, je n'me dégonfle pas
Ecoute ça, je t'aime!
Petite sœur, tu croyais bien
Que je t'aimais comme un copain
C'était pas ça, non, je t'aime!
Tu vois, j'ai mis des fleurs partout
C'est notre premier rendez-vous
Et tu viendras, dis, je t'aime

Quand on dit ça à un fauteuil
Dans une chambre où l'on est seul
C'est effrayant comme on est seul

Dis-moi bonjour, embrasse-moi
Mais ne m'embrasse pas comm' ça
C'est plus pareil, dis, je t'aime!
On est ensemble et on est là
On n'ira pas au cinéma
On restera, oh je t'aime!

Quand on dit ça à un fauteuil
Dans une chambre où l'on est seul
C'est effrayant comme on est seul!

Sainte Marie, priez pour moi
Car si elle ne venait pas
J'en crèverais, Sainte Marie, je l'aime!
Quand on dit ça à un fauteuil
Dans une chambre où l'on est seul
Sainte Marie, comme on est seul!

Timothy


Timothy
Composer(s): Rupert Holmes
Performer(s): The Buoys



Trapped in a mine when a hatch caved in
And everyone knows the only one left was Joe
And me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale were Joe
And me

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, god why don't I know?

Hungry as hell, no food to eat
Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
Joe said to me, I'll take a swig
And then there's some
For you

Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, god what did we do?

I must've blacked out just about then,
'cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around to finding
Timothy

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, god, why don't I know?

I Can Only Give You Everything


I Can Only Give You Everything
Composer(s): Phil Coulter; Tommy Scott
First release by: Them - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



I can't give you more than what I've got
You can't expect to get what I have not
I... can only give you lovin' 'til the sun goes down
And... until the leaves of summer turn to shades of brown
I try and I try
But baby, you know that I
Can only give you everything

Why can't I get you to understand
'Cause after all I am just a man
You... are on my mind when stars appear and shadows fall
And... when every little flower blooms and bluebirds call
I try and I try
But baby, you know that I
Can only give you everything

I'll do anything you want me to do
'Cause I don't want to know this life without you
Oh... don't ever go and leave me in this world alone
I'd... be like a little child if I was on my own
I try and I try
But baby, you know that I
Can only give you everything

Everything, baby
A little bit of this
A little bit of that
Everything, oh...

Je T'Aime (Dalida)


Je T'aime (aka Qui D’autre - 1984) (Adapted from: It's Over - 1964) (Italian Version: La Fine Di Tutto - 1966) Composer(s): Roy Orbison; Bill Dees; H. Jthier Performer(s): Dalida



Tu viens de me dire adieu
La tristesse est dans tes yeux
J'ai beau ne pas y croire
C'est fini

Après tant d'amour passé
Nous sommes là tous deux blessés
Adieu la belle histoire
C'est fini
Je t'aime

Demain le cœur brisé
Demain toute seule j'irai
J'irai bien loin cachée
Ma vie déchirée
Où je pourrai sans fin crier, crier
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime

Une autre a volé mon bien
Et mes cris n'y pourront rien
Au vent déjà il meurt
C'est fini

Je voudrai pourtant qu'un jour
Tu te rappelles mon amour
Un pauvre amour qui saigne
Pour la vie
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime
Je t'aime

Timi's Black Arrow


Timi's Black Arrow
Composer(s): Donald
Performer(s): Blue



Before I packed my bags this morning
So little words I had to say
Made me sad to leave her crying
When I was flying far away
If she could understand my feelings
If I could only speak the words
If I could only have her with me
To say the things she never heard
But don't you cry my baby
The time will fly my baby
And I believe you will be waiting for me

The sky was blue in California and I was happy in the sun
I had a dream that you were with me but I awoke to find you gone
But don't you cry my baby
The time will fly my baby
And I believe you will be waiting... for me

I Can Never Go Home Anymore


I Can Never Go Home Anymore
Composer(s): George Morton
Performer(s): The Shangri-Las



I'm gonna hide if she don't leave me alone
I'm gonna run away
Don't!!

'cause you can never go home anymore

Listen
Does this sound familiar?
You wake up every morning, go to school every day, spend your nights on the corner just passing the time away
Your life is so lonely like a child without a toy
Then a miracle-a boy
And that's called "glad"
Now my mom is a good mom and she loves me with all her heart
But she said I was too young to be in love and the boy and I would have to part
And no matter how I ranted and raved, I screamed, I pleaded, I cried
she told me it was not really love but only my girlish pride
And that's called "bad"

(Never go home anymore)

Now if that's happened to you, don't let this
I packed my clothes and left home that night
Though she begged me to stay, I was sure I was right
And you know something funny?
I forgot that boy right away
Instead I remember being tucked in bed and hearing my mama say

(Hush, little baby, don't you cry)
(Mama won't go away)
Mama!!!

(You can never go home anymore)
Mama!!!
I can never go home anymore

Do you ever get that feeling and wanna kiss and hug her?
Do it now-tell her you love her
Don't do to your mom what I did to mine
She grew so lonely in the end
Angels picked her for a friend

(Never)
And I can never go home (never) anymore
And that's called "sad"

Je T'Aimais, Je T'Aime Et Je T'Aimerai


Je T'Aimais, Je T'Aime Et Je T'Aimerai
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Mon enfant nue sur les galets
Le vent dans tes cheveux défaits
Comme un printemps sur mon trajet
Un diamant tombé d'un coffret
Seule la lumière pourrait
Défaire nos repères secrets
Où mes doigts pris sur tes poignets
Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerai
Et quoique tu fasses
L'amour est partout où tu regardes
Dans les moindres recoins de l'espace
Dans le moindre rêve où tu t'attardes
L'amour comme s'il en pleuvait
Nu sur les galets

Le ciel prétend qu'il te connaît
Il est si beau c'est sûrement vrai
Lui qui ne s'approche jamais
Je l'ai vu pris dans tes filets
Le monde a tellement de regrets
Tellement de choses qu'on promet
Une seule pour laquelle je suis fait
Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerai
Et quoique tu fasses
L'amour est partout où tu regardes
Dans les moindres recoins de l'espace
Dans le moindre rêve où tu t'attardes
L'amour comme s'il en pleuvait
Nu sur les galets

On s'envolera du même quai
Les yeux dans les mêmes reflets
Pour cette vie et celle d'après
Tu seras mon unique projet
Je m'en irai poser tes portraits
À tous les plafonds de tous les palais
Sur tous les murs que je trouverai
Et juste en dessous, j'écrirai
Que seule la lumière pourrait...
Et mes doigts pris sur tes poignets
Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerai

I Can Never Eat Home Anymore


I Can Never Eat Home Anymore
Composer(s): Lee Pockriss; Paul Vance
Performer(s): The Detergents



I'm gonna die if she don't learn how to cook
Or I'm gonna run away...

Stop!

Ah, you can never eat home anymore

Listen, does this sound familiar?

You wake up every morning
With a hunger pain inside
Your mother makes you breakfast
But you wanna run and hide
You sneak out of the back door
And hang around the street
You know it's time for dinner
But you're afraid to go home and eat
And that's called
Hungry!

Now my mom is a good mom
to me she was a queen
But I couldn't eat her cooking
It turned me sorta green
I used to get so hungry
How hungry could I get?
And then, one day, a miracle
A luncheonette!
And that's called
Food!

And he can never eat home anymore

Well my mom found out about it
And I knew it hurt her so
She came to me and pleaded
And begged me not to go
But I knew I had to do it
Though she'd never understand
And I left her cryin' in the kitchen
With a chicken in her hand

I can still hear her

I'll make you meatballs, nice and hot
I'll make you chicken in the pot

He can never eat home anymore (Why me???)

So she stayed there in that kitchen
And it was always the same
Each night she'd make those meatballs
But I never came
My mama grew so lonely that the angels heard her cry
And they took her up to heaven
To that lunchroom in the sky
And that's called
Sad

And he can never eat home anymore

Je T'Aimais Tant


Je T'Aimais Tant
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Jeff Davis
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Nous n'avions pas un sou en poche
Mais nous étions riche d'aimer
Aimer pour aimer
Sans arrière-pensées
Plus ou moins moches
Nous étions livrés à nous-mêmes
Rien ne comptait que notre amour
Et jour après jour
On se posait toujours
Qu'un seul problème
Est-ce que tu m'aimes

Je t'aimais tant mon amour
Je t'aimais tant mon amour
Je t'aimais tant, tant
Tant, tant, tant
Mon amour

Par l'amour, par l'alcool, par force
Nous arrachions la vie au temps
Vivant tant et tant
Qu'on oubliait souvent
Nos joies de gosses
Nous avions les yeux de l'enfance
Et des rêves aux creux de nos mains
Et rien jamais rien
Ne nous étonnait moins
Que l'imprudence
Que l'imprudence

Je t'aimais tant mon amour
Je t'aimais tant mon amour
Je t'aimais tant, tant
Tant, tant, tant
Mon amour

La folie, la furie, la rage
Ont saccagé notre bonheur
Douleur, ma douleur
Tu as laissé ton coeur
Dans cet orage
Car l'amour a claqué la porte
Me laissant seul plein de regrets
Jamais, plus jamais
Je vous reverrai
Mes amours mortes
Que tout emporte

Je t'aimais tant mon amour
Je t'aimais tant mon amour
Je t'aimais tant, tant
Tant, tant, tant
Mon amour
