Longing For You
Longing For You
Composer(s): Walter Dana - Bernard Jansen
Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band
and multiple other artists
Longing, longing, longing for you
Longing, longing, lonely and blue
Daytime, night time, what can I do
I just keep on longing for you
You said you would love me forever
And I put my faith in your vow
So why don’t you make an endeavour
To come and be with me right now
Longing, longing, longing for you
Longing, longing, lonely and blue
Daytime, night time, what can I do
I just keep on longing for you
You phoned me to come to St. Louis
I soon got a bill for the call
But after I got to St. Louis
You left me and went to St. Paul
Longing, longing, longing for you
Longing, longing, lonely and blue
Daytime, night time, what can I do
I just keep on longing for you
We spent every cent of my money
And then you were gone out of sight
Though I should forget you My Honey
I’m longing to kiss you tonight
Longing, longing, longing for you
Longing, longing, lonely and blue
Daytime, night time, what can I do
I just keep on longing for you
I just keep on longing for you

Christmas Eve Can Kill You
Christmas Eve Can Kill You
Composer(s): Dennis Linde
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers; Suzie Adams
The winter's flaking snow is brushing through the pinewood trees
I stuck my hands down deep inside my coat
I think of years ago and half remembered Christmas trees
And faces that still warm me with their glow
The cold and empty evening hangs around me like a ghost
I listen to my footsteps in the snow
The sound of one man walkin' through the snow can break your heart
But stopping doesn't help, so on I'll go
And Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere
The icy air I'm breathin' is all that keeps me on my feet
I feel like I've been walking all my life
A car goes running by, the man don't even turn his head
Guess he's busy being Santa Claus tonight
The saddest part of all is knowing if I switched with him
I'd leave him stumblin' ragged by the road
I'd ride that highway to the arms of my sweet family
And forget about the stranger in the cold
And Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere
And as I walk I'm singin' to myself, Oh Silent Night
Hoping I can save those other souls
Oh, God forgive the man who drives right by the other man
Have pity on the stranger in the cold
'Cause Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere

The Longest Walk
The Longest Walk
Composer(s): Edward Pola - Fred Spielman
Performer(s): Jaye P. Morgan
and multiple other artists
I took the longest walk
In the world last night
From your arms to your front door
I heard the saddest words
In the world last night
When you said you loved me no more
I won't believe it's true
I'll keep after you
Till we love like we loved before
And then the longest walk
Will be the shortest walk
Back to your arms once more
And then the longest walk
Will be the shortest walk
Back to your arms once more
Back to your arms once more

Seule Comme Une Pomme
Seule Comme Une Pomme
Composer(s): A. Goldstein
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
seule comme une pomme
tombée par terre
sans ultimatum
tête à l'envers
l'amour qui s'déforme
qui vit chloroforme
dans l'décorum
toute seule en somme
s'accrochaient plus
nos millions d'atomes
correspond plus
à son critérium
atteint l'maximum
passé l'quorum
à coups d'magnum
s'faire des ulcères
au duodénum
fumer l'opium
au son d'l'harmonium
pas besoin d'médium
sûr qu'ça délirium
seule comme une pomme
tomber par terre
pour manque de calcium
crier pleurer
dans un aquarium
solitude assomme
chagrin en somme
sans post-scriptum
emmené ailleurs
son curriculum
laissé dans l'cœur
dans l'mémorandum
les photos l'album
ad-libitum
seule comme une pomme...

Longhaired Redneck
Longhaired Redneck
Composer(s): David Allan Coe - Jimmy Rabbit
Performer(s): David Allan Coe
Country DJ's knows that I'm an outlaw
They'd never come to see me in this dive
Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughen' at the hippies
Who are prayen' they'll get out of her alive
The loud mouth in the corners gett'en to me
Talking about my earrings and my hair
I guess he ain't read the sign that says I've been to prison
Someone aught to warn him, before I knock him off his chair
'Cause my long hair just can't cover up my redneck
I've won every fight I've ever faught
And I don't need some turkey telling me that I ain't country
Say'en I aint worth a damn old, ticket that he bought
'Cause I can sing all those songs about Texas
And I still do all the sad one's that I know
They tell me, I look like Merle Haggard
And sound alot like David Allen Coe
And the barmaid in the last town that we played in
Knew the words to every song I wrote
She said Jimmy Rabbit turned her on to my last album
Just about the time the jukebox broke
Ya Jonny Cash helped me get out of prison
Long before Rodriquez stole that goat
I've been a Rhinestone Cowboy for so long I can't remember
And I can do you every song Hank Williams ever wrote
And I can sing all those songs about Texas
And I still do all the sad one's that I know
I can't help it, I like Merle Haggard
And sound alot like David Allen Coe
The loud mouth in the corners gett'en to me
Talking about my earrings and my hair
I guess he ain't read the sign that says I've been to prison
Someone aught to warn him, before I knock him off his chair

Christmas Eve (Ringo Starr)
Christmas Eve
Composer(s): Richard Starkey - Mark Hudson
Performer(s): Ringo Starr
It's Christmas and you're not here
The snow is falling down, like my tears
I see your presents by the tree
I can't believe you're not with me
On Christmas, Christmas Eve
It's Christmas with stars above,
How many times has it been said, a time for love
And underneath the mistletoe
I'm standing here all alone
On Christmas, Christmas Eve
I hear your voice, I see your smile
You were my Christmas song
But now you're gone, now you're gone
It's Christmas, it seems so long
The lights are all around the tree but not turned on
I saw your footprints in the snow
I'd never thought you'd really go
On Christmas, Christmas Eve
It's Christmas
It's Christmas Eve

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

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
