I'm Gonna Sleep With One Eye Open


I'm Gonna Sleep With One Eye Open
(French Version: Et Baîller Et Dormir) Composer(s): Mitchell Parish; Jeff Davis; Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour




I'm gonna sleep with one eye open
So I can see you in my dreams
Gonna hold you, kiss you, love you
While Mr. Moonlight softly beams

I'm gonna sleep with one eye open
So I can see more of your charms
'Cause tonight I've made my mind up
You're gonna wind up in my arms

You know, since I first met you
How I've tried to get you
Still I always let you sleep away
From day to day

But tonight I'm gonna love you
This is my lucky night it seems
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open
So I can see you in my dreams

Et rêver, et sourire
Et baîller, et dormir

You know, since I first met you
How I've tried to get you
Still I always let you sleep away
From day to day

But tonight, tonight I'm gonna love you
This is my lucky night, it seems
I'm gonna sleep, sleep with one night open
So I can see you in my dreams

Je fais mon paradis sur la terre
Car la paix règne au fond de mon coeur
Et vraiment si c'était à refaire
Je saurais pour garder mon bonheur

Et rêver, et sourire
Et baîller, et dormir

Every Time I Look At You


Every Time I Look At You
Composer(s): Bob Ezrin; Paul Stanley
Performer(s): Kiss



Tryin' to say I'm sorry, didn't mean to break your heart
And find you waitin' up by the light of day
There's a lot I want to tell you, but I don't know where to start
And I don't know what I'd do if you walked away
Ooh, baby I tried to make it, I just got lost along the way
But every time I look at you,
no matter what I'm goin' thru, it's easy to see
And every time I hold you, the things I never told you
seem to come easily
'Cause you're everything to me
I never really wanted to let you get inside my heart
I wanted to believe this would soon be ending
I thought it wouldn't matter, if it all just came apart
But now I realize I was just pretending
Ooh, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me
But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin' thru
it's easy to see
And every time I hold you, the things I never told you
seem to come easily
'Cause you're everything to me
It's gonna take a little time to show you
just what you mean to me, oh yeah
It seems the more I get to know you, the more I need to make you see
You're everything I need, yeah
Oho, I need ya, I need ya, I need ya...
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, I know I hurt you
but you can still believe in me
But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin' thru
it's easy to see
And every time I hold you, the things I never told you
seem to come easily
'Cause you're everything to me
You're everything to me, you're everything to me

I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter
Composer(s): Joe Young; Fred E. Alhert
First release by: Fats Waller - 1935
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom, I'll be glad I've got 'em

I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
Then close "with love" the way that you do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter, ah-huh
I'm gonna make believe it came from you

I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter, oh, babe
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom, I'll be glad I've got 'em

I'll smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
Then close "with love" the way that you do
I'm gonna sit right down, write myself a letter, oh yeah
I'm gonna make believe it came from you

5.06 Am (Every Stranger's Eyes)


5.06 Am (Every Stranger's Eyes)
Composer(s): Roger Waters
Performer(s): Roger Waters



[Waitress:] You wanna cup of coffee?
[Customers:] Heh, Turn that fucking juke box down
You want to turn down that juke box....loud in here
[Waitress:] I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee?
Ok, you take cream and sugar?
Sure
In truck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac limousines
In the company of has-beens
And bent-backs
And sleeping forms on pavement steps
In libraries and railway stations
In books and banks
In the pages of history
In suicidal cavalry attacks
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And in wheelchairs by monuments
Under tube trains and commuter accidents
In council care and county courts
At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts
In drawing rooms and city morgues
In award winning photographs
Of life rafts on the China seas
In transit camps, under arc lamps
On unloading ramps
In faces blurred by rubber stamps
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And now, from where I stand
Upon this hill
I plundered from the pool
I look around
I search the skies
I shade my eyes
So nearly blind
And I see signs of half remembered days
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
I recognise...
The hope you kindle in your eyes
It's oh so easy now
As we lie here in the dark
Nothing interferes, it's obvious
How to beat the tears
That threaten to snuff out
The spark of our love

I'm gonna love you more and more every day

Tell your Papa too
So they'll know exactly what I'm gonna do

Tell your Papa too
So they'll know exactly what I'm gonna do

We'll walk the road of life
Together day by day
And I will love you

So will I love you
Every step of the way

Walk with loneliness

As every April turns to May
So will I love you
Every step of the way

I'll love you only
Every step of the way

I'm Gonna Put You In Your Place


I'm Gonna Put You In Your Place
Composer(s): George W. Meyer; Bob Rothberg
Performer(s): Fats Waller



I'm Gonna Put you in your place
and your place is in my arms
I'm gonna tell you to your face
how much I care

Though I know that you're a very
popular person
This dream that I'm nursin'
could never come true
without you

I'm gonna really set you right
Right where I can hold you tight
With all your others palsy-walsy's
you must part

Cause to end this merry chase
I'm gonna put you in your place
And your place is here
In my arms, sweetheart!

Every Song Is You


Every Song Is You
Composer(s): Steve Dudas; Grakal; Mark Hudson
Performer(s): Timothy B. Schmit



Everybody's got a broken heart
Played the fool and done their part
But fools rush in, baby, so why did we?

Another day, a long lonely night
Instead of loving we'd always fight
There's a hundred reasons why to set me free

Ever since the day I left you
I've had this feeling of emptiness
And it won't go away

So I go on down the road
One more little town that I don't know
I'm running late and I'm running low
On cold coffee and the radio
That plays me like you do
Every song is you

Separation is a funny thing
You want to fly but it breaks your wings
It left me on the outside looking in

I do believe we're worth fighting for
'Cuz all is fair in love and war
I promise not to hurt you like I hurt me

I swear to God I'll make things right
I'm heading out, gonna drive all night
Now I'm coming home

So I go on down the road
One more little town that I don't know
I'm running late and I'm running low
On cold coffee and the radio
That plays me like you do
Every song is you

I am falling through the cracks
That time slipped on and broke its back
Everyone begins to laugh, but I'm laughing with them too
'Cuz they play me like you do

Ever since the day I left you
I've had this feeling of emptiness
Now I just wanna get home
So I go on down the road
One more little town that I don't know
I'm running late and I'm running low
On cold coffee and the radio
That plays me like you do
Every song is you

Every Road Leads Me Back To You


Every Road Leads Me Back To You
Composer(s): George Mac Farlane;
William Dunham; T. Leonard Coleman



There's a road that leads to happiness
there's a road that leads to pain
I've traveled each and every one, alone and back again
thru every dell and every dale and by way that we knew in rain or shine the endless time, all lead me back to you

There's the road that leads to after years, there's the road that
leads to home the one that runs thru loneliness, which many of
us roam but hand in hand together, dear in stormy day or fair
to the golden sunset of our lives, on the road that leads us there

Every road seems to lead the way to the island of yesterday and
down lovers lane we wandered again while the birds sing their
same sweet lay and again it is you I woo Every flower remembers
you too At the crossroads of time I'll still wish you were mine
every road leas me back to you

I'm Gonna Make You My Wife


I'm Gonna Make You My Wife
Composer(s): William Bell; Wayne Bell
Performer(s): The Whispers



I'm gonna make you my wife
'Cause you're my everything
All my hopes and dreams come true
I can live my life with you

I'm gonna buy you some rings
And everywhere you go
Everyone will know that it's real
What you make me feel

Until there is no more of me
I will try to make you see
That I will be
My all and all
From here to eternity
Be my world eternally
We'll have a child
And watch it grow

Cross my heart and hope to die
If i ever make you cry
May I feel the pain that you feel inside
Take the blame if our love should die

I'm gonna make you my world
You be my morning light
The star at night
Or the air I breathe

Cross my heart and hope to die
If I ever make you cry
May I feel the pain
That you feel inside
And may I take the pain
If our love should die

I'm gonna make you my song
You'll be my symphony
My rhapsody my line
You'll be my melody
My harmony my child

You'll be the air I breathe
The birds and bees
My wife

Every Mother's Son There Sang "The Wearing Of The Green"


Every Mother's Son There Sang
"The Wearing Of The Green"
Composer(s): Edward Rogers; Joe Hollander



There was fun galore on the parlor floor
Down at McVeigh's tenement
Such a time had they, on McVeigh's birthday
With Irish element
Every one of them were drinking Creme de Menthe
Faith and that's the way the evening it was spent
Till Con. O ' Shea says "Come McVeigh, let's have some merriment"

Well, a row began when poor Dan McCann
Got a hugging Murphy's wife
Sure says Mike O' Toole, "Man you are a fool
Faith he's known her all his life"
In excitement Tim McVeigh turned out the light
When the copper came, he thought there was a fight
He broke the door then cussed and swore
And all was pinched that night

To the jail they went
But no bail was sent
So they kept them there all right
Till the Cop says he
You will not get free
For the row you made last night"
So, they went before the Judge called Mike McCue
Says he, "Tell me what the devil did you do?"
"Why look here Judge
It's just a grudge
We'll sing the song for you"

The mother sang, the father sang
The sister sang as well
The parrot sang, the whole she-bang
Let out an awful yell
It really was an Irish night
It's like you've never seen
For every mother's son there sang
the "Wearing Of The Green"

Tu me dis que les jours que nous vivons ici sont monotones

Composer(s): Steve Winwood; Jim Capaldi
Performer(s): Traffic



Once again I'm northward bound, on the edge of sea and sky
Tomorrow is my friend, my one and only friend
We travel on together searching for the end

I'm a traveling soul and every mother's son
Although I'm getting tired I've got to travel on
Can you please help, my god? Can you please help, my god?
Can you please help, my god? I think it's only fair

Once again I'm northward bound, on the edge of sea and sky
Together we will go and see what waits for us
A backdoor to the universe that opens doors

I'm Gonna Make Hay While The Sun Shines In Virginia


I'm Gonna Make Hay While The Sun Shines In Virginia
Composer(s): Joe Young; Sam Lewis; Archie Gottler
Performer(s): Marion Harris



City people pity people living on the farm
I'm going home today 'Way down Virginia way'
You know my dad's a farmer
So is mamma
They live in a shack
If you think I'm grieving because I'm leaving
Try and hold me back

Howdy do there, how are you there
That's Virginia way, when they shake hands with you
Their hearts go with it too
I'm gonna send a wire
To the Squire
Here's just what I'll write
If the train don't show up
I will show up
Home tomorrow night

I'm gonna make hay while the sun shines in Virginia
The old folks need a lot of sunshine now
I'm gonna be a farmer in Virginia
I'll plant a kiss on mother's wrinkled brow (How I love her)
I'm gonna raise the mortgage from the homestead
I'll weed out all their sorrows and their tears
I'm gonna make hay while the sun shines in Virginia
I'm gonna brighten up their few remaining years

Every Man Has A Woman Who Loves Him


Every Man Has A Woman Who Loves Him
Composer(s): Yoko Ono
Performer(s): John Lennon; Yoko Ono



Every man has a woman who loves him
In rain or shine or life or death
If he finds her in this life time
He will know when he presses his ear to her breast
Why do I roam when I know you're the one
why do I laugh when I feel like crying?
Every woman has a man who loves her
Rise or fall of her life and death
if she finds him in this lifetime
She will know when she looks into his eyes
Why do I roam when I know you're the one
why do I run when I feel like holding you?
Every man has a woman who loves him
if he finds her in this lifetime
He will know
