I Love You (Bing Crosby)


I Love You
Composer(s): Edvard Grieg; George Forrest; Richard Wright
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



I hear you ask if I am yours for keeping
Shame that a doubt should ever pass your lips
I say it waking, shall I say it sleeping
I love your lips, I love your laugh
I love the tear that dims your dancing eyes
I love you dear, and there your answer lies

And should you ask if time has dulled my longing
Say has the northern star gone coursing south
If me in you doubt `tis only you you're wronging
I love you then, I love you now
I'll love you when the world grows old and dies
I love you dear, and here your answer lies

Just For Me And Mary ('T Was A Beautiful Wedding Day)


Just For Me And Mary ('T Was A Beautiful Wedding Day)
Composer(s): Grant Clarke;
Howard E. Rogers; Leo Edwards



I love to hear my old granddaddy
Tell of his wedding day
And when he does my dear grandmammy smiles in her own sweet way
When shadows fall I cuddle close to his knee
Then he describes that day of days to me

Although his head is crown'd with silver
Still he seems young to me
Each time he smiles and tells the story of days that used to be
I fancy I can see them on that great day
Whenever he tells me in his quaint old way

Just for me and Mary
Oh the day was bright and airy
Even mother's cute canary
Was singing a song of love, there in his little cage above
We hitched up Tom and Jerry
And drove to Parson Carey
And as the bells tolled in the steeple
I was told by Mary's people, "You be good to Mary"
'T was a beautiful wedding day

Tout Petit La Planète
Composer(s): Pierre Van Dormael - Bernard Loncheval
First release: Plastic Bertrand - 1978



Fais pas l'con, passe-moi tes vibrations
Moi j'ai pas vu passer l'avion
C'était comme un tout gros champignon
Rempli tout plein de boutons

Tout petit, tout petit, la planète
Tout petit, tout petit, la planète
La planète
Y a des types qui sont sortis de ça
Y m'ont dit des trucs que j'comprends pas
Tout petit, tout petit, la planète
Tout petit, tout petit, la planète
La planète
Y a quéqu'chose qui se passe dans ma tête
Y faudrait pas qu'ça s'arrête
La planète
Tout petit, tout petit, la planète
Tout petit, tout petit, la planète

On dirait que c'est la Noël
Là-bas tout en haut dans le ciel
Fais pas l'con, passe moi tes vibrations
Moi je suis derrière l'horizon

Tout petit, tout petit, la planète
Tout petit, tout petit, la planète
La planète
Tout petit, tout petit, la planète
Tout petit, tout petit, la planète
La planète

Demande leur si on peut aller là-bas
Si on y va comme ça, ça ira
Là ça change de décors
Alors c'est d'accord, totor

I love to whistle `cause it makes me merry
Makes me feel so very (whistle)
I love to yodel ev'rywhere I go

Just For Love


Just For Love
Composer(s): Dino Valenti
Performer(s): Quicksilver Messenger Service



Just for love, like the wing of some high-flying bird
Of the songs I will sing to you, you can hear every word
That I ever heard come to you
Of the people I've been, of the visions I have seen
Of the things I think about, of situations that I can hear sometimes
And the places I have been at times, just trying to be
These things can only happen once in a lifetime
These things can only matter here if you have time
Someone will touch you softly and it will be me
Someone will call your name and then come to me, free
Free as the wind, free as the rain falling
Free as the night, free as nature calling...

Now the songs have been sung
all the games have been played
This love has won over all masquerades
it's the end of charades
I love you, I love you, I love you

Tout Le Monde Y Pense


Tout Le Monde Y Pense
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel; Vox Angeli; Les Enfoirés



Tout le monde y pense
Les hommes, les anges, les vautours
Y a plus de distances
Personne qui ait les bras trop courts
Tout le monde espère
Même à l'arrière des arrière-cours
Tout le monde veut son billet retour
D'amour, d'amour, d'amour, d'amour

Son éclat de chance
Celui qui vous brûle, vous inonde
Mais le ciel s'en balance
Puisqu'il y en a pas pour tout le monde
Y a des gens plein les urgences
Sous les lumières des abat-jour
Qui attendent leur billet retour
D'amour, d'amour, d'amour, d'amour, d'amour

Ces anges qui dansent
Sur ces pistes trempées d'alcools
Dans ces caves immenses
Les cheveux collés aux épaules
S'envolent en silence
Et s'éparpillent au petit jour
En cherchant des billets retour
D'amour, d'amour, d'amour, d'amour, d'amour

Ces femmes qui s'avancent
En tenant au bout de leurs bras
Ces enfants qui lancent
Des pierres vers les soldats
C'est perdu d'avance
Les cailloux sur des casques lourds
Tout ça pour des billets retour
D'amour, d'amour, d'amour, d'amour, d'amour

Les hommes, les anges, les vautours...
Personne qui ait les bras trop courts...
Tout le monde y pense...

I Love To Tell The Story


I Love To Tell The Story
Composer(s): Bill Fischer; Katherine Hankey
Performer(s): Eddy Arnold
and multiple other artists



I love to tell the story of unseen things above
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love
I love to tell the story because I know 'tis true
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do

I love to tell the story
'Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love

I love to tell the story, 'tis pleasant to repeat
What seems each time I tell it more wonderfully sweet
I love to tell the story for some have never heard
The message of salvation from God's own holy Word

I love to tell the story
'Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love

I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest
And when in scenes of glory I sing the new, new song
'Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long

Just For A Thrill


Just For A Thrill
Composer(s): Lil Hardin Armstrong; Don Raye
Performer(s): Ray Charles;
and various other artists



Just for a thrill
You changed the sunshine to rain
Just for a thrill
You filled my heart with pain

To me you were my pride and joy
But to you, I was merely a toy
A plaything, that you could toss around at will

Just for a thrill
You made my life one sad song
Just for a thrill
You just led me along

Although you're free and havin' your fun
To me you're still the only one
Cause you made my heart stand still
Just for a thrill

Although you're free and havin' your fun
To me you're still the only one
Cause you made my heart stand still
Well, it was just for a thrill

And baby you, you, made my heart stand still
Just for a thrill

Tout Le Monde Veut Y Croire


Tout Le Monde Veut Y Croire
Composer(s): Pierre Rapsat
Performer(s): Pierre Rapsat



Tout le monde veut y croire
Le connaître une fois
Tout le monde veut y croire
L'avoir auprès de soi
Quand il est pas là ça rend nos vies moins belles
Les moments "bluesy" ça rend la vie cruelle

Tout le monde veut y croire
Au moins avoir une chance
Tout le monde veut y croire
Confidence pour confidence

On dit que certains le connaissent toute la vie
D'autres l'on croisé rien qu'un soir, une nuit
Mais tout le monde veut y croire

On est capable de beaucoup
Prêt à se pendre à son cou
Pour le garder auprès de nous
Mais on est capable de tout
Quand jamais on ne l'a connu
Quand jamais on ne l'a reçu

Toutle monde veut y croire
De savoir qu'il existe
Tout le monde veut y croire
Ca nous rend déjà moins triste

De se dire qu'il y a quelqu'un quelque part
Ca réchauffe ça paraît dérissoire
Tout le monde veut y croire

On est capable de beaucoup
Prêt à se pendre à son cou
Pour le garder auprès de nous
Mais on est capable de tout
Quand jamais on ne l'a connu
Quand jamais on en a reçu

Tout le monde veut y croire
Au moins avoir une chance
Tout le monde veut y croire
Confidence pour confidence
J'arrive pas à y croire

I Love To Sing


I Love To Sing
Performer(s): Cab Calloway



I love to sing-a
About a moon-a and a June-a and a spring-a
I love to sing-a
About a sky of blue-a, and a tea for two-a
Anything-a with a swing-a, or a "I love you-a"
I love, I love to sing!

Give me a song-a
About a son-a gun that went and done her wrong-a
But keep it clean-a
By a cottage small-a with a waterfall-a
Any sob-a that will throb-a to a bluebird's call-a
I love, I love to sing!

I was born a singin' fool-a
Lah-de-dah!
Ol' Major Bowes is gonna spot me
Got through Yale with boula-boula
Lah-de-dah!
Old microphone's got me!

I love to sing-a
I love to wake up with the south-a in my mouth-a
And wave a flag-a
With a cheer for Uncle Sammy and another for my mammy
I love to sing!

The swingin'est
Hot singin'est
Bell-ringin'est
Song singin'est
High tootin'est
Sky tootin'est
I love to sing!

Just Enough Money


Just Enough Money
Composer(s): Pat Travers
Performer(s): Pat Travers



I don't ride
In no limosines
Can't afford no
Night club scenes
Steak and wines is
Beyond my means
I call my home
These faded jeans

I got just enough money
To buy me a case of the blues
I got just enough money
To buy me a case of the blues
Oh Yeah!
Found me a quarter
In the combat zone
I reach up and stick it
In my old pay phone
My babies machine they
Say that she's not home
Just leave your name and your number
After the tone

Now I got just enough money
To buy me a case of the blues
Yeah I got just enough money
To buy me a case of the blues
Oh oh yeah I got just enough money
To buy me a case of the blues

You know the day is too long
When your down on your luck
I never get no good news
I've been broke so long
The only thing I can buy
Is just a bad case of the blues
Baby, buy me the blues
Ha!

Ran into this joker
In his Cadillac
He owes me some dough
He wanna pay it back
Say you can double your money
At the pony track
But my horse didn't finish
Had a heart attack

Now I got just enough money
To buy me a case of the blues
Yeah I got just enough money
Oh Yeah I got just enough money
To buy me a case of the blues
Oooh Yeah I got just enough money
To buy me a case of the blues
Oh Oh yeah!
Hey Hey!
Just enough money
To buy me the blues
Hey Hey!!

Tout Le Monde Sait


Tout Le Monde Sait
((English Version: Everybody Knows (The Dave Clark Five))
Composer(s): Barry Mason - Leslie Reed - Hubert Ithier
Performer(s): Dalida



Quand, je t'ai supplié de rester
Tous les passants m'ont vu, pleurer
Mais, pourquoi parler en cet endroit
Où la foule
Nous regarde toi et moi

Tout le monde sait que tu t'en vas
Tout le monde voit mes pleurs
On s'aimait si fort alors pourquoi
Faire autant souffrir mon cœur

J'ai crié partout mon bel amour
J'avais confiance en toi, toujours
Si, tous mes amis riaient de moi
A cette heure
Quand je pleure, ils sont là

Tout le monde sait que tu t'en vas
Tout le monde voit mes pleurs
On s'aimait si fort alors pourquoi
Faire autant souffrir mon cœur

Tout le monde sait que tu t'en vas
Tout le monde voit mes pleurs
On s'aimait si fort alors pourquoi
Faire autant souffrir mon cœur

Tout le monde sait que tu t'en vas
Tout le monde voit mes pleurs
On s'aimait si fort alors pourquoi
Faire autant souffrir mon cœur

I love to see you smile
I love to see you smile

Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)


Just Dropped In
(To See What Condition My Condition Was In)
Composer(s): Mickey Newbury
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers



(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a "Dead End" sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah yeah oh-yeah

Tout Le Monde Rit D'un Clown


Tout Le Monde Rit D'un Clown
((Adapted from: Everybody Loves A Clown (Gary Lewis & the Playboys) - 1965))
Composer(s): Gary Lewis - Thomas Leslie - Leon Russell - Vline Buggy - Claude François
Performer(s): Claude François - 1966



Tout le monde rit d'un clown pourquoi pas toi
Tout le monde aime bien les clowns pourquoi pas toi
Ils s'amusent aussitôt qu'ils me voient
Mais toi, insensible, tu te lèves et tu t'en vas
Mais sais-tu combien ce clown a pu souffrir?
En te voyant partir

Tout le monde rit d'un clown pourquoi pas toi
Tout le monde aime bien les clowns pourquoi pas toi
Sous mon masque on me croit heureux
Mais rapproche-toi un peu
Et viens lire dans mes yeux
Là, tu verras que ce clown pleure tout bas
Parce que tu ne l'aimes pas
Les filles et les femmes me laissent froid
Je ne voudrais qu'un regard de toi

Tout le monde rit d'un clown pourquoi pas toi
Tout le monde aime bien les clowns pourquoi pas toi
Si jamais, il arrivait qu'un jour
Tu t'aperçoives enfin que pour toi, je meurs d'amour
Tu saurais combien ce clown a pu souffrir
Et tu le ferais rire
Oui mais en attendant ce clown tu ne l'aimes pas
Tout le monde rit d'un clown pourquoi pas toi
Tout le monde rit d'un clown pourquoi pas toi
Tout le monde rit d'un clown pourquoi pas toi
Tout le monde rit d'un clown pourquoi pas toi

To what I'm tryin' to say

Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance yeah yeah
Yes he does...ooh...get down...oh...

Tout Le Monde A Sa Chanson D'amour


Tout Le Monde A Sa Chanson D'amour
Composer(s): F. Gerald - Jean Kluger
Performer(s): Dalida



Il suffit qu'au piano avec un seul doigt je joue cet air là
Ou qu'un violon le chante au fond d'une cour
Alors je crois entendre tout un orchestre qui joue pour moi
Car tout le monde a sa chanson d'amour

Les arbres de l'hiver se couvrent de fleurs le ciel devient bleu
Comme si les oiseaux étaient de retour
Et je crois nous revoir dansant tous les deux, riant tous les deux
En écoutant notre chanson d'amour

Et pourtant je sais bien que tout est fini
Depuis déjà bien longtemps
Quelque fois le bonheur de toute une vie
Ne dure qu'un printemps

Si cette mélodie fait battre le cœur d'autres amoureux
Pour eux je prie le ciel qu'ils s'aiment toujours
Mais ne m'en veuillez pas si quand je l'entends j'ai des larmes aux yeux
Car tout le monde a sa chanson d'amour

I Love To Laugh


I Love To Laugh
From "Mary Poppins"
Composer(s): Richard M. Sherman; Robert B. Sherman
First release by: Ed Wynn, Julie Andrews, & Dick Van Dyke - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



Uncle Albert:
I love to laugh
Loud and long and clear
I love to laugh
It's getting worse ev'ry year

The more I laugh
The more I fill with glee
And the more the glee
The more I'm a merrier me
It's embarrassing!
The more I'm a merrier me!

Mary Poppins:
Some people laugh through their noses
Sounding something like this "Mmm..."
Some people laugh through their teeth goodness sake
Hissing and fizzing like snakes

Bert:
Some laugh too fast
Some only blast - ha!
Others, they twitter like birds
Then there's the kind
What can't make up their mind

Uncle Albert:
When things strike me as funny
I can't hide it inside
And squeak - as the squeakelers do
I've got to let go with a ho-ho-ho...
And a ha-ha-ha...too!

All:
We love to laugh
Loud and long and clear
We love to laugh
So ev'rybody can hear
The more you laugh
The more you fill with glee
And the more the glee
The more we're a merrier we!

Just Come Home


Just Come Home
Performer(s): Hugo & Luigi



I don`t care how far you wander
Let your heart be wild and free
I`ll be asking you no questions
Just come home my love to me

Fly away across the mountains
Sail away beyond the sea
If you`re searching for your true love
Just come home, my love, to me

I`ll wait for you
I`ll wait for you
Until eternity

You don`t have to write or call me
Though I`ll miss you constantly
If you want my prayers all answered
Just come home, my love, to me

If you want my prayers all answered
Just come home
My love
To me
