Imagine Me, Imagine You


Imagine Me, Imagine You
Composer(s): Kenny Young
Performer(s): Fox



Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang
Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang

Heavenly eyes come see the moon
I think it's shinin'
Or would you rather be up in my room
For wine and dinin'
Imagine me, imagine you
Inside each others mind what would we do?

Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang
Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang

Following lines around your palm
Your heart is huntin'
Don't you look any further
It's mine your wantin'
Imagine me, imagine you
Inside each others eyes what would we see?
Imagine me, imagine you
Inside each others arms what would we do?

Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang
Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang

'N Andere Wereld

'N Andere Wereld
Composer(s): A. Badalamenti;
M. Faithfull; Benny Neijman
Performer(s): Benny Neijman



Hij leeft zijn leven alleen in een andere wereld
Geen enkele wereld is mooier dan deze van hem
Hij leeft in zichzelf gekeerd met z'n eigen gedachten
En al wat ie hoort dringt toch niet door tot hem
Ze hebben het vaak geprobeerd, hij is niet te bereiken
Hij hoort wel de klank van hun stem maar kijkt dwars door ze heen
Leeft in zijn eigen wereld, leeft in zichzelf alleen
Maar als ie lacht, lacht ie naar iedereen

Hij ziet de dingen gewoon in heel andere kleuren
Hij vindt het mooi, 't is heel gewoon voor hem
Hij heeft genoeg aan zichzelf dus geen plaats voor een ander
Z'n woede, geluk of verdriet, hij verwerkt het alleen
Leeft in zijn eigen wereld, leeft in zichzelf alleen
Maar als ie lacht, lacht ie naar iedereen

Imagine Me In The Maginot Line


Imagine Me In The Maginot Line
Composer(s): George Gifford; Cliffe; George Formby
Performer(s): George Formby



You should see me out in France wearing my tin hat
With shot and shell it's worse than – well it's even worse than that
Now imagine me in the Maginot Line
Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line
Now it's turned out nice again
The Army life is fine
French girls make a fuss of me
I'm not French as you can see
But I know what they mean when they say "oui, oui"
Down on the Maginot Line

Now imagine me in the Maginot Line
Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line
Now it's turned out nice again
The Army life is fine
The enemy we had to chase
But my gun got out of place
I went and shot the Colonel in the base
Down on the Maginot Line

Now imagine me in the Maginot Line
Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line
Now it's turned out nice again
The Army life is fine
At night, myself to sleep I sing
To my old tin hat I cling
I have to use it now for everything
Down on the Maginot Line

Now imagine me in the Maginot Line
Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line
Now it's turned out nice again
The Army life is fine
Suddenly a pain I felt
A doctor on my tummy knelt
He slapped a poultice underneath my belt
Right on the Maginot Line

Now imagine me in the Maginot Line
Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line
Now it's turned out nice again
The Army life is fine
Hitler can't kid us a lot
His secret weapon's tommyrot
But you ought to see what the sergeant's got
Down on the Maginot Line
Down on the Maginot Line

(Now And Then There's) A Fool Such As I


(Now And Then There's) A Fool Such As I ((French Version: Prends Mon Coeur (by Petula Clark) - 1960)) Composer(s): Bill Trader First release by: Hank Snow - 1952 Covered by multiple other artists



(Now and then there's a fool such as I)

Pardon me, if I'm sentimental
When we say goodbye
Don't be angry with me should I cry
When you're gone, yet I'll dream
A little dream as years go by
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love and now
You say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I'll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I'll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Imagine


Imagine
(Danish Version: Tænk Engang - 2008)
Composer(s): John Lennon
First release by: John Lennon - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try
No hell below us, above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion, too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us, and the world will live as one

Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger or brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us, and the world will live as one

(No More) Fear Of Flying

(No More) Fear Of Flying
Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid
Performer(s): Gary Brooker



There was no more fear of flying
Once the final words were spoke
There was no more tears of crying
It had all become a joke

Though they took a vow of silence
Still the rumours quickly spread
There was no more point in trying
For the great affair was dead

There was no more fear of flying
There was no more fears and pain
There was no more need for spying
They had everything to gain

There was no more fear of flying
There was no more tortured brow
They had dropped the safety curtain
They had killed the sacred cow

There was everything to live for
There was nothing to explain
They had left the scene, triumphant
They would live to fight again

There was no more fear of flying
There was no more fears and pain
There was no more need for spying
They had everything to gain

Imagination


Imagination
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Harry Reser's Syncopators - 1928
Covered by multiple other artists



Imagination is funny
It makes the cloudy day sunny
Makes the bee think of honey
Just as I think of you

Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
Starts you asking a daisy
What to do, what to do

Have you ever felt the gentle touch
And then a kiss, and then, and then
Find it’s only your imagination again
Oh, well

Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example, I go around wanting you
And yet I can’t imagine that you want me too

Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example, I go around wanting you
And yet I can’t imagine that you want me too

An Old-Fashioned Christmas (The Statler Brothers)


An Old-Fashioned Christmas Composer(s): John Rimel Performer(s): The Statler Brothers



These city streets seem cold and hard to me
Life here in the fast lane ain't my cup of tea
I can't get in the spirit here it seems
And when I go to sleep at night I often have this dream

Of an old fashioned Christmas with presents round the tree
A fire softly burning and you up close to me
With friends stopping by to help us share the cheer
For an old fashioned Christmas I'll be coming home this year

The city lights are fading out of sight
The snow is softly falling through the winter night
Coming home again feels so good
And once again Christmas feels just like it should

Let's have an old fashioned Christmas with presents round the tree
A fire softly burning and you up close to me
With friends stopping by to help us share the cheer
For an old fashioned Christmas I'll be coming home this year

Let's have an old fashioned Christmas
I'll be coming home this year

Imaginate Que Te Quiero


Imaginate Que Te Quiero
Composer(s): Miguel Bosé; Ross Cullum; Sandy McLelland; Andy Ross
Performer(s): Miguel Bosé



Imaginate que soy todo valor
sueña tu que yo voy a abrir mi corazon
hay cosas que son secretos locos
de un tipo que se muere por ti

Silencio a veces dudar
atreverme a decir que te quiero
imaginate te quiero
sigue imaginandote
y que solo a ti

Imaginate que el mundo va a acabar
que al final del final
me quedas solo tu

hay cosas que son mil notas
y son pequeñas pero grandes en ti
mil gotas que hacen un mar
que no puedo explicar imaginatelo
que te quiero
imaginate te quiero
sigue imaginandote
y que solo a ti

imaginate que te quiero
sigue imaginandote te quiero

An Old Christmas Card


An Old Christmas Card
Composer(s): Vaughn Horton
Performer(s): Jim Reeves;
and various other artists



There's an Old Christmas Card in an old dusty trunk
And it brings back sweet mem'ries dear to me
'Tho it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn
When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree

I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the mem'ry of an Old Christmas Card

You know, I don't know why I get to feeling sentimental about this time, every year
But every time I see a Christmas card, I somehow can't help reminiscing
About the very first Christmas that you and I spent together
What a beautiful Christmas card you gave me that year
Why, I know you must have looked through thousands of cards
to find that wonderful poem that still brings a tear to my eyes

I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the mem'ry of an Old Christmas Card

Imagínate
que desde muy niño
te llevaba flores
te daba mi abrigo

mi último sueño
mi más roja flama

tú y yo para siempre

Imaginary Lover


Imaginary Lover
Composer(s): Buddy Buie; Dean Daughtry; Robert Nix
Performer(s): Atlanta Rhythm Section; Nancy Sinatra



Imaginary lovers
Never turn you down
When all the others turn you away
They're around
It's my private pleasure
Midnight fantasy
Someone to share my
Wildest dreams with me
Imaginary lover you're mine anytime
Imaginary lovers, oh yeah

When ordinary lovers
Don't feel what you feel
And real-life situations lose their thrill
Imagination's unreal
Imaginary lover, imaginary lover
You're mine anytime

Imaginary lovers never disagree
They always care
They're always there when
You need satisfaction guaranteed
Imaginary lover, imaginary lover
You're mine all the time
My imaginary lover
You're mine anytime

Toen Jij Verdween


Toen Jij Verdween
(Adapted from: In Dreams - 1963)
Composer(s): Roy Orbison; Jan De Vuyst
Performer(s): Doran - 1998



'k Voel me opgesloten, 'k kan niet slapen
De warmte in de kamer zo benauwd
Het zingen van de zee drijft mij naar buiten
Haar geruis is voor mij zo vertrouwd

Ik zie jou weer
Ja, elke keer
Als ik mijn ogen sluit
Dan hoor ik weer

Jouw zachte stem
Die mij verwendt
Jouw lieve woordjes als
Ik hoor bij jou

Ik droom alleen van jou
Jouw wil vult mij geheel
Want jij gaf mij al wat ik wou
Ik leef, nee ik leefde voor jou, voor jou

Die dag toen jij verdween
Ik vergeet die dag nooit meer
Toen je wegging en ik doodging
Toen je zei 'ik wil weggaan, laat me weggaan, vaarwel'

En ik schreeuwde 'blijf bij mij'
Want ik begeer jou voor mij
Oh, blijf bij mij
Mijn leven ben jij

Imagina Só
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Imagina só
Que eu desde pequena
Provava um bocado
Da tua merenda

Imagina só
Que eu sou da tua sala
Carregas meus livros
E eu te passo cola

Imagina só
Que eu sou da tua rua
Abri uma porta
De frente pra tua

Imagina só
Que o teu cão amigo
Só sabe o teu cheiro
Quando estás comigo

Imagina só
Que eu sou tua dama
Teu último sonho
A mais viva chama

Imagina só
Que eu sou tua garota
Nós dois para sempre
Que não és de outra

Hoje à noite
A lua se apagar
Quem já viu a lua cris
Quando a lua começa a murchar
Lua cris
É preciso gritar e correr, socorrer o luar
Meu amor
Abre a porta pra noite passar
E olha o sol
Da manhã
Olha a chuva
Olha a chuva, olha o sol, olha o dia a lançar
Serpentinas
Serpentinas pelo céu
Sete fitas
Coloridas
Sete vias
Sete vidas
Avenidas
Pra qualquer lugar

Sabe que o menino que passar debaixo do arco-íris vira moça, vira
A menina que cruzar de volta o arco-íris rapidinho vira volta a ser rapaz
A menina que passou no arco era o
Menino que passou no arco
E vai virar menina

All Praise To Thee, Eternal God


All Praise To Thee, Eternal God
Composer(s): Martin Luther



All praise to Thee, eternal God
Who, clothed in garb of flesh and blood
Dost take a manger for Thy throne
While worlds on worlds are Thine alone
Hallelujah!

Once did the skies before Thee bow
A virgin's arms contain Thee now
While angels, who in Thee rejoice
Now listen for Thine infant voice
Hallelujah!

A little Child, Thou art our Guest
That weary ones in Thee may rest
Forlorn and lowly is Thy birth
That we may rise to heaven from earth
Hallelujah!

Thou comest in the darksome night
To make us children of the light
To make us in the realms divine
Like Thine own angels, round Thee shine
Hallelujah!

All this for us Thy love hath done
By This to Thee our love is won
For this our joyful songs we raise
And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise
Hallelujah!

Images - Paris Qui Va ...


Images - Paris Qui Va ...
Composer(s): Georges Moustaki
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki



Tu connais bien Paris la nuit
Paris qui chante et t'éclabousse
De la lumière

Tu connais bien Paris la faim
Paris qui meurt sur un trottoir
Ou sous un pont

Tu connais bien Paris le jour
Paris qui passe indifférent
De ta misère

Bien trop pressé tu le sais bien
Paris l'argent et les affair's
Et toi fauché

Tu connais bien Paris qui fum'
Ses cheminées couvert's de suie
Paris qui peine

Tu connais bien Paris la nuit
Dans la prison dans le silence
Et dans le froid

Tu connais bien les jours sans fin
Les jours bizarr's sans horizon
Qui désespèrent

Tu connais bien l'eau qui sourit
Plein' de promess's qui vous attir'
Dans son sourire

Tu connais bien Paris meurtri
Paris en sang
Paris qui hurle de colère.

Tu connais bien Paris qui rêv'
Paris qui dit des mots d'amour
Paris qui aime

Tu connais bien Paris qui va

All My Heart This Night Rejoices


All My Heart This Night Rejoices
Composer(s): Johann Georg Ebeling; Paul Gerhardt
Performer(s): The Cambridge Singers;
and various other artists



All my heart this night rejoices
As I hear Far and near
Sweetest angel voices
"Christ is born," their choirs are singing
Till the air Everywhere
Now with joy is ringing

Forth today the Conqueror goeth
Who the foe, Sin and woe
Death and hell, o'erthroweth
God is man, man to deliver
His dear Son Now is one
With our blood forever

Shall we still dread God's displeasure
Who, to save, Freely gave
His most cherished Treasure?
To redeem us, He hath given
His own Son From the throne
Of His might in heaven

Should He who Himself imparted
Aught withhold From the fold
Leave us broken-hearted?
Should the Son of God not love us
Who, to cheer Sufferers here
Left His throne above us?

If our blessed Lord and Maker
Hated men, Would He then
Be of flesh partaker?
If He in our woe delighted
Would He bear All the care
Of our race benighted?

He becomes the Lamb that taketh
Sin away And for aye
Full atonement maketh
For our life His own He tenders
And our race, By His grace
Meet for glory renders

Hark! a voice from yonder manger
Soft and sweet, Doth entreat
"Flee from woe and danger
Brethren, from all ills that grieve you
You are feed; All you need
I will surely give you"

Come, then, banish all your sadness
One and all, Great and small
Come with songs of gladness
Love Him who with love is glowing
Hail the Star, Near and far
Light and joy bestowing

Ye whose anguish knew no measure
Weep no more; See the door
To celestial pleasure
Cling to Him, for He will guide you
Where no cross, Pain, or loss
Can again betide you

Hither come, ye heavy-hearted
Who for sin, Deep within
Long and sore have smarted
For the poisoned wound you're feeling
Help is near, One is here
Mighty for their healing

Hither come, ye poor and wretched
Know His will Is to fill
Every hand outstretched
Here are riches without measure
Here forget All regret
Fill your hearts with treasure

Let me in my arms receive Thee
On Thy breast Let me rest
Savior, ne'er to leave Thee
Since Thou hast Thyself presented
Now to me, I shall be
Evermore contented

Guilt no longer can distress me
Son of God, Thou my load
Bearest to release me
Stain in me Thou findest never
I am clean, All my sin
Is removed forever

I am pure, in Thee believing
From Thy store Evermore
Righteous robes receiving
In my heart I will enfold Thee
Treasure rare, Let me there
Loving, ever hold Thee

Dearest Lord, Thee will I cherish
Though my breath Fail in death
Yet I shall not perish
But with Thee abide forever
There on high, In that joy
Which can vanish never
