Long-Haired Lover From Liverpool
Long-Haired Lover From Liverpool
Performer(s): Jimmy Osmond; Mike Curb Congregation
I'll be your long-haired lover from Liverpool
And I'll do anything you say
I'll be your clown or your puppet or your April fool
If you'll be my sunshine daisy from LA
I'll be your leprechaun and sit upon an old toadstool
I'll serenade you till I'm old and grey
I'll be your long-haired lover from Liverpool
You'll be my sunshine daisy from LA
You'll be my lovely daisy on a mountainside
There are lots of other flowers too
But all the other flowers hung their heads and cried
Because the loveliest of all them was you
But you were evidently the exception to the rule
I picked you quickly then I ran away
'Cos I'm your long-haired lover from Liverpool
You are my sunshine daisy from LA
I'll be your long-haired lover from Liverpool
And I'll do anything you ask
I'll be your clown or your puppet or your April fool
Cut my hair, I'll even wear a mask
I'll be your Valentineand you'll be mine and things will be cool
We'll move along together every day
I'll be your long-haired lover from Liverpool
You'll be my sunshine daisy from LA
You'll be my sunshine daisy from LA

Seule Avec Moi
Seule Avec Moi
Composer(s): Jean-Pierre Festi; Charles Level; Yvan Quazana
Performer(s): Dalida
Il est huit heures à peine et la maison s'éveille
Une radio chante chez le voisin
Je beurre des tartines debout dans la cuisine
Car tu as toujours faim dès le matin
Puis chacun se dépêché sur ta joue toute fraîche
Je te caresse en disant à ce soir
Et tu t'en vas très vite et derrière ma vitre
Moi je te fais un signe d'au revoir
Tu es parti et je reste là
Je reste seule, seule avec moi
Toute ma vie je la passe là
Je reste seule, toute seule chez moi
J'ai ce que je désire le meilleur et le pire
La vie dorée et l'envie de partir
On dit que j'ai de la chance mais je pleure en silence
Sur mon grand lit et sur mon avenir
Derrière mes grimaces on ne voit pas la trace
De ces envies qui déchirent le cœur
Pour le monsieur d'en face le jeune homme qui passe
Pour un instant d'amour, pour un quart d'heure
Tu es parti et je reste là
Je reste seule, seule avec moi
Toute ma vie je la passe là
Je reste seule toute seule chez moi
Voilà ma vie en rose faire toujours la même chose
En suivant le chemin qu'on m'a tracé
Comme toutes les femmes j'ai le même programme
Et "Aujourd'hui Madame" à la télé
Personne ne suppose que je pense à des choses
Que j'ai parfois envie de voyager
C'est fini l'aventure malgré moi je suis sûre
Que rien, jamais ne pourra m'arriver
Tu es parti et je reste là
Me voilà seule, seule avec moi
Toute ma vie je la passe là
Est-ce que vraiment le bonheur c'est ça

Longfellow Serenade
Longfellow Serenade
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
First release by: Neil Diamond - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
Longfellow Serenade
Such were the plans I'd made
For she was a lady
And I was a dreamer
With only words to trade
You know that I was born for a night like this
Warmed by a stolen kiss
For I was lonely
And she was lonely
Ride, come on baby, ride
Let me make your dreams come true
I'll sing my song
Let me make it warm for you
I'll weave his web of rhyme
Upon the summer night
We'll leave this worldly time
On his winged flight
Then come, and as we lay
Beside this sleepy glade
There I will sing to you
My Longfellow serenade
Longfellow serenade
Such were the plans I made
But she was a lady
As deep as a river
And through the night, we stayed
And in my way, I loved her as none before
Loved her with words and more
For she was lonely
And I was lonely
Ride, come on baby, ride
Let me make your dreams come true
I'll sing my song
Let me sing my song
Let me make it warm for you
I'll weave this web of rhyme
Upon the summer night
We'll leave this worldly time
On his winged flight
Then come, and as we lay
Beside this sleepy glade
There I will sing to you
My Longfellow serenade

Seule Au Monde
Seule Au Monde
Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil; Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Seule au monde
Brune ou blonde
Un jour, l'amour
S'est enfui
Dans la grande surface
De la vie...
Où tu n'iras pas
C'est promis
Faire ton marché
Un lundi...
Seule au monde
Brune ou blonde
Avec ton amour évanoui
Tu traînes au bord de ton lit
Où tu ne rêves plus
C'est fini...
De rire toute la vie
Avec lui
Ouh, ouh, ouh
Seule au monde
Brune ou blonde
Comme un dieu
Qui traînerait sur terre
Sans église
Et sans ministère
Un jour, l'amour
Est parti
Tu as cru que la vie
C'était fini...
Sur les trottoirs
Où tu survis
Je marche vers toi
Dans la nuit...
Je marche vers toi
Dans la nuit...

Longer
Longer
((Dutch Version: Als Je Slaapt (by Rob de Nijs) - 1983))
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
First release by: Dan Fogelberg - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you
I'll bring fires in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings
Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks
And the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you
I'll be in love with you
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
I am in love with you
I am in love with you

Seul Sur Son Étoile
Seul Sur Son Étoile
(English Version: It Must Be Him - 1967)
Composer(s): Maurice Vidalin; Gilbert Bécaud
First release by: Gilbert Bécaud - 1966
Quand on est seul sur son étoile
Et qu'on regarde passer les trains
Quand on trinque avec des minables
Qu'on dort avec des "moins que rien"
Quand on ré-écrit à sa mère
Et qu'on pense aux économies
Quand on invente des prières
Pour des Bon Dieu de comédie
C'est qu'on a besoin
De quelqu'un, de quelque chose
Ou d'un ailleurs
Que l'on n'a pas, que l'on n'a pas
C'est qu'on a besoin
De quelqu'un, ou d'un amour
Ou bien d'un copain
Que l'on attend depuis longtemps
Quand on est seul sur son étoile
On ne voit pas le temps courir
On est au chaud et l'on s'installe
Comme un cheval qui va mourir
Quand on raconte son enfance
A des gens qui n'écoutent pas
Quand tu te fais beau, c'est dimanche
Et qu'après tout tu ne sors pas
C'est que tu as besoin
De quelqu'un, de quelque chose
D'un quelque part
Que tu n'as pas, que tu n'as pas
C'est que tu as besoin
De quelqu'un, ou d'un amour
Ou bien d'un copain
Que tu attends depuis longtemps
Quand on est seul sur son étoile
Y a des fois des coups du Bon Dieu
Et l'on est deux sur son étoile
C'est idiot, mais on est heureux
On n'a plus besoin de quelqu'un
De quelque chose, ou d'un ailleurs
On s'en fout bien! On s'en fout bien!

Als Je Slaapt
Als Je Slaapt
((Adapted from: Longer (by Dan Fogelberg) - 1979))
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg - Belinda Meuldijk
Performer(s): Rob de Nijs - 1983
Als je slaapt kan ik uren naar je kijken
Ik heb jou dan zo ademloos lief
Zo ver weg dat geen mens je kan bereiken
Droom van mij alsjeblieft
Nu zie ik met het maanlicht op ons beiden
Schaduw daar waar de eenzaamheid wacht
Woorden die 'k overdag niet goed kan vinden
Fluister ik elke nacht
Jouw hand even op de mijne
Mijn stem als jij het niet meer weet
Wij zijn vriendjes voor het leven
En daarna
Maar voor nu wil ik nachtwacht over jou zijn
Voel ik zelfs iets voor eeuwige trouw
Elke dag, elke toekomst, ieder einde
Droom maar, ik hou van jou
Als je slaapt kan ik uren naar je kijken
Ik heb jou dan zo mateloos lief
Zo dichtbij, maar geen mens kan je bereiken
Droom alsjeblieft van mij
Droom alsjeblieft van mij

Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages:
1969 - Alleen
1984 - Yksin
1989 - Alone
On est deux mon amour
Et l'amour chante et rit
Mais à la mort du jour
Dans les draps de l'ennui
On se retrouve seul
On est dix à défendre
Les vivants par des morts
Mais cloués par leurs cendres
Au poteau du remords
On se retrouve seul
On est cent qui dansons
Au bal des bons copains
Mais au dernier lampion
Mais au premier chagrin
On se retrouve seul
On est mille contre mille
A se croire les plus forts
Mais à l'heure imbécile
Où ça fait deux mille morts
On se retrouve seul
On est million à rire
Du million qui est en face
Mais deux millions de rires
N'empêchent que dans la glace
On se retrouve seul
On est mille à s'asseoir
Au sommet de la fortune
Mais dans la peur de voir
Tout fondre sous la lune
On se retrouve seul
On est cent que la gloire
Invite sans raison
Mais quand meurt le hasard
Quand finit la chanson
On se retrouve seul
On est dix à coucher
Dans le lit de la puissance
Mais devant ces armées
Qui s'enterrent en silence
On se retrouve seul
On est deux à vieillir
Contre le temps qui cogne
Mais lorsqu'on voit venir
En riant la charogne
On se retrouve seul

First performance by: Doris Day - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists

1954 - Hemmelig Kærlighed

Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why I'm so in love with you
Now, I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my hearts an open door
And my secret love's
No secret anymore

Long, Long Way To Go
Long, Long Way To Go
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins
While I sit here trying to think of things to say
Someone lies bleeding in a field somewhere
So it would seem we've still got a long, long way to go
I've seen all I want to see today
While I sit here trying to move you anyway I can
Someone's son lies dead in a gutter somewhere
And it would seem that we've got a long, long way to go
But I can't take it anymore
Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off it will go away
Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off or look away
While I sit and we talk and talk and we talk some more
Someone's loved one's heart stops beating in a street somewhere
So it would seem we've still got a long, long way to go, I know
I've heard all I want to hear today
Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off it will go away (switch it off it will go away)
Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off or look away (switch it off or look away)
Switch it off
Turn it off

Long Way To Hollywood
Long Way To Hollywood
Composer(s): Steve Young
Performer(s): Steve Young; Hank Williams
Babe, I hate to leave you down here
In this one horse town
Where the trains run through your early dreams
Just to leave an old wailing sound ...
Oh but I'll come back
I will return
Honey, won't you wait for me?
I'm bound to travel the USA
Across the desert to the sea
('Cause) I've got another song about the south
It's white and it's black
There ain't no banjo on my knee
But that song's on my back
It's a long long way to Hollywood
And a short change for fame
All them slicks talk about downhome
But I know that's a southern game
It's a long long way to Hollywood
And a short change for fame
All them slicks talk about downhome
But I know that's a southern game
I've got another song for all the old people
Down in the Georgia night
I know their wings are heavy
They been on a lonesome flight
All the old depression people
I know they took a heavy load
All their children, my kinfolk's and cousins
Still walking on Tobacco Road
Well they still talk about Hank Williams
Clinging unto his fame
Hey, I'm of the same race, I'm from the same place
I got the same lonesome blood in my veins
It's a long long way to Hollywood
And a short change for fame
All them slicks talk about downhome
But I know that's a southern game ...

(I've Lost You) So Why Should I Care
(I've Lost You) So Why Should I Care
Composer(s): Richard Howard
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
The beautiful story is ended
Our wonderful romance is through
And I might have known it was only a dream
For it all seemed too good to be true
For the wrongs that we do we must suffer
And that's just the reason we met
You came that I might make atonement
Through you I must pay ev'ry debt
We bring nothing in the world with us
We can take nothing out when we go
So why should we care if we live or we die
When our gladness is turned into woe
I'll be glad when my sad life is over
When they lay me away to my rest
For while I must live broken hearted
The worst can be only the best
Oh why should I care what becomes of me now
I had nothing to live for but you
Oh why should I care if I fall by the way
When I know that no longer you're true
My sorrow is sending me down to my grave
'T is greater than I can bear
If they bar me away, from heaven some day
I've lost you so why should I care

Long Way Back To Love
Long Way Back To Love
Composer(s): Ben Peters
Performer(s): Roy Drusky
Once I tried to tell you that some day his love would end
You just said it's none of mine concern
Now that it's all over you reach out for me again
Back across the bridges we have burned
But it's a long way back to love
Even though we're just a step apart
It's a long way back to love
All the way back through a broken heart
I didn't think that I could take it when you walked away
But somehow I made it all alone
Since you've left I've spent the most of ev'ry night and day
Gettin' used to knowin' you were gone
And it's a long way back to love
Even though we're just a step apart
It's a long way back to love
All the way back through a broken heart
It's a long way back to love
Even though we're just a step ...

Composer(s): Rolf Harris

Just like the inside of any big shop
people were everywhere
Suddenly business was brought to a stop
when a terrible yell hit the air...
I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa
I've lost my mummy
I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa
I've lost my mummy!
ub, ub hup ub hup hup ub hup hup ub
People all gathered to look at the lad
patted him on the head
(Woman) Where was your mummy, when you saw her last?
Turning to her the boy said...

I've lost my mummy
I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa
I've lost my mummy!
ub, ub hup ub hup hup ub hup hup ub
Down came the manager to fix up the mess
took the small boy aside
(Manager) Come on now lad, let's have your name and address
With a lungful of air he replied...
I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa
I've lost my mummy
I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa
I've lost my mummy!
ub, ub hup ub hup hup ub hup hup ub
Well just then his mother appeared on the spot
gave him a hefty whack
(Mother) That oughta teach you to go and get lost!
and the little boy's voice floated back...
I've found my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa
I've found my mummy
I've found my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa
I've found my mummy!
No mummy, I don't wanna go, no mummy I don't wanna, no mummy!

Long Train Runnin'
Composer(s): Tom Johnston
First release by: The Doobie Brothers - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists
Down around the corner a half a mile from here
you see them old trains runnin'
and you watch them disappear
Without love, where would you be now, without love?
You know I saw Miss Lucy down along the tracks
she lost her home and her family
and she won't be comin' back
Without love, where would you be now, without love?
Well, the Illinois Central
and the Southern Central Freight
gotta keep on pushin', Mama
`cause you know they're runnin' late
Without love, where would you be now, without love?
Well, the Illinois Central
and the Southern Central Freight
gotta keep on pushin', Mama
`cause you know they're runnin' late
Without love, where would you be now, without love?
Where pistons keep on churnin'
and the wheels go `round and `round
and the steal rails are cold and hard
for the miles that they go down
Without love, where would ya be right now
without love, where would you be now?
Got to get it, baby, baby, won't you move it down?
Won't you move it down?
Baby, baby, baby, baby, won't you move it down?
When the big train run
And the train is movin' on
I got to keep on movin'
Keep on movin'
Keep on movin'
Gonna keep on movin'

I've Lived, I've Loved, I'm Satisfied (What More Is There To Say?)
I've Lived, I've Loved, I'm Satisfied (What More Is There To Say?)
Composer(s): Lew Brown; Ben Barnett; Albert Von Tilzer
I found that life is worth living
That hope is rewarded some day
I thought I'd never find happiness
But at last it has come my way
Some people long for great riches
For glory, some others will try
Heaven has blessed me with something that
All the gold in the world can't buy
I longed for a wonderful sweetheart
'T was then dear that I met you
I dreamed of a cottage with roses
My dream of that cottage came true
I prayed for the love of a baby
And my prayers were answered one day
I've lived, I've loved, I'm satisfied
What more is there to say
