You Take My Breath Away (Dollar)


You Take My Breath Away Composer(s): Thereza Bazar - David Van Day Performer(s): Dollar



Funny faces look at the way that we live We're on prime time Going places you're just so good to be with Huh you're a major sensation Don't hand around we gotta live it while we can And you set the style and when I see you smile I don't believe you do what you do 'Cause you take my breath away We gotta live every day now You take my breath away want to say It doesn't happen everyday someone like you Should be there to help me through Oh you take my breath away Strange sensations feel like I'm floating on air Like the sunshine Good vibrations follow you round everywhere You know you're walking a fine line Don't hang around we gotta live it while we can And you set the style and when I see you smile I don't believe you do what you do 'Cause you take my breath away We gotta live every day now You take my breath away want to say It doesn't happen everyday someone like you Should be there to help me through Oh you take my breath away It doesn't happen everyday someone like you Should be there to help me through Why don't you admit how you take my breath away We gotta live everyday now You (you) take my breath away We gotta live everyday now You take my breath away We gotta live everyday now (Repeat) ...

Sweet Dreams (Don Gibson)


Sweet Dreams
Composer(s): Don Gibson
First release by: Don Gibson - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists



Sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

You don't love me, it's plain
I should know I'll never wear your ring
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

Sweet dreams of you
Things I know can't come true
Why can't I forget the past, start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

You Stole My Bell


You Stole My Bell
Composer(s): Elvis Costello; Cait O'rjordan
Performer(s): Elvis Costello



There is a place
Underneath the staircase
Where I keep the evidence
Of what once would offer peace
In a deep blue velvet box filled with joy and pride
Should I pick the locks?
Should I peek inside?
Can I stand the sight of those happy days?
Should I strike a match, burn them all away?

Cos you stole my bell
And you broke my chime
And the clock spins round but it won't keep time
There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you (x2)

So here we are
But it's not quite like we thought
Those things were priceless then
Now I know they can't be bought
In a deep blue velvet box fastened with a pin
Should I lift the lid?
Should I look within?
Was it my last chance or my first mistake?
Is it just a step that we'll never take?

Cos you stole my bell
And you broke my chime
And the clock spins round but it won't keep time
There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you

((French Version: Déprime (Sylvie Vartan) - 1983))
Composer(s): Annie Lennox - Dave Stewart
First release by: Eurythmics - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists



Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

You Stepped Out Of A Dream


You Stepped Out Of A Dream
Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown; Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Tony Martin;
and various other artists



You
Stepped out of a dream
You are too wonderful
To be what you seem

Could there be eyes like yours?
Could there be lips like yours?
Could there be smiles like yours,
Honest and truly?

You
Stepped out of a cloud
I want to take you away
Away from the crowd
And have you all to myself
Alone and apart
Out of a dream
Safe into my heart

~interlude~

You
Stepped out of a cloud
I want to take you away
Away from the crowd
And have you all to myself
Alone and apart
Out of a dream
Safe into my heart ...
Wa-dee-la-la
Out of a dream!

Déprime


Déprime
((Adapted from: Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) (Eurythmics) - 1983))
Composer(s): Annie Lennox - Dave Stewart - Michel Mallory
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan - 1983



Déprime à quoi tu rimes
Avec ton parfum d'aspirine
Ne perds pas ton temps
Plus rien ne me mine
J'ai le moral et les idées clean
C'est lui ma médecine
Mon antidote, le remède a tout
Rien ne me contamine
J'ai le sourire à l'épreuve de tout

Déprime à quoi tu rimes
Avec ses joies que tu abimes
Passe ton chemin, tu as mauvaise mine
Ton image de marque décline

Ca va pas? Qu'est-ce que t'as?
Tout va bien!
Ca va pas? Très très bien!
Qu'est-ce que t'as?
Tout va bien!
Ca va pas?
Très très bien!
Qu'est-ce que t'as?
Tout va bien!
Ca va pas!
Tout va bien!
Qu'est-ce que t'as?

C'est lui ma médecine
Son amour c'est le remède à tout
Déprime je te réprime
Dans ton jeu, tu n'as plus un atout

Déprime t'as plus la prime
Je te renvoie dans ton abime
Tu n'as plus de quoi faire de la frime
J'ai le moral et les idées cleans

Déprime à quoi tu rimes
Avec ses joies que tu abimes
Passe ton chemin, tu as mauvaise mine
Ton image de marque décline

Déprime je te réprime
avec ton …

Sweet Caroline


Sweet Caroline
((French Version: Miss Caroline (by Eddy Mitchell) - 1969))
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
First release by: Neil Diamond - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growing strong

Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along

Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would

But now I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm with you

Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Sweet Caroline

You Should Hear How She Talks About You


You Should Hear How She Talks About You
Composer(s): Tom Snow; Dean Pitchford
Performer(s): Melissa Manchester



She's so very nice you should break the ice
Let her know that she's on your mind
Whatcha tryin' to hide when you know inside
She's the best thing you'll ever find?
Ahh, can't you see it?
Don't you think she's feeling the same?
Ahh, I guarantee it
She's the one that's calling your name

Chorus:
You should hear how she talks about you
You should hear what she says
She says she would be lost without you
She's half out of her head (out of her head)
You should hear how she talks about you
She just can't get enough
She says she would be lost without you
She is really in love

(spoken) She's in love with you boy

I ain't tellin' tales, anybody else
Could repeat the things that I've heard
She's been talkin' sweet and it's on the street
How our girlfriend's spreadin' the word

Ahh, you should hurry
You should let her know how you feel
Ahh, now don't you worry
If you're scared this love is for real

You should hear how she talks about you
You should hear what she says
She says she would be lost without you
She's half out of her head (out of her head)
You should hear how she talks about you
She is really in love
(She is really in love)

Ahh, you should hurry
You should let her know how you feel
Ahh, now don't you worry
If you're scared this love is for real

Chorus

Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk

Can'tcha see? (Can'tcha see?)
It's me!

Chorus

Votre photo
Couvre les magazines
On parle de vous tous les jours
Vous êtes belle
Et l'on vous imagine
Entourée de rêve et d'amour

Mais
Qui saurait
Que parfois
Sans rien dire
Vous pleurez?

Miss Caroline
C'est votre nom maintenant
Miss Caroline
Mais vous n'avez plus le temps d'être aimée

Votre univers
S'il n'est que de lumière
L'ombre est figée sur votre coeur
Car vous croyez
Que lui seul sur la Terre
Peut vous apporter le bonheur

Mais
Près de vous
Loin de tout
Avec vous
Regardez
Miss Caroline
Gardez votre coeur d'enfant

Miss Caroline
Vous retrouverez le temps d'être aimée

Gardez votre coeur d'enfant

You Should Have Told Me


You Should Have Told Me
Composer(s): Lewis Bellin; Redd Evans; Edna Osser
Performer(s): Doris Day;
and various other artists



You should have told me
You love someone else
Before I fell in love with you
You should have told me
You care for another
Before you broke my heart in two
It was wrong when you thrilled me
With your kiss so divine
You knew when you kissed me
You would never be mine
So you should have told me
You loved someone else
Before I fell in love with you

First release by: Laura Nyro - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



Let's go down by the grapevine, drink my Daddy's wine, get happy
Down by the grapevine, drink my daddy's wine, get happy, happy
Oh, sweet blindness, a little magic, a little kindness
Oh, sweet blindness, all over me
Four leaves on a clover, I'm just a bit of a shade hung over
Come on baby, do a slow float you're a good looking riverboat
and ain’t that sweet eyed blindness good to me?

Down by the grapevine, drink my Daddy's wine, good morning
Down by the grapevine, drink my Daddy's wine, good morning, morning
Oh, sweet blindness, a little magic, a little kindness
Oh, sweet blindness, all over me
Please don't tell my mother, I'm a saloon and a moonshine lover
Come on baby, do a slow float you're a good looking riverboat
and ain’t that sweet eyed blindness good to me?

Don't ask me cause I ain't gonna tell you what I've been drinking
ain't gonna tell you what I've been drinking
ain't gonna tell you what I've been drinking
wine of wonder, wonder, (by the way)
Oh, sweet blindness, a little magic, a little kindness
Oh, sweet blindness, all over me
Don't let daddy hear it, he don't believe in the gin mill spirit
Don't let daddy hear it, he don't believe in the gin mill spirit
Come on baby, do a slow float you're a good looking riverboat
and ain’t that sweet eyed blindness good to me?
Now, ain’t that sweet eyed blindness good to me?

You Should Have Seen The Way He Looked At Me


You Should Have Seen The Way He Looked At Me
Composer(s): Jeff Barry; Ellie Greenwich
Performer(s): The Dixie Cups



I saw him at the party
Standing in the corner
Looking just as good as he could be
And when he caught my eye
I knew I was a goner
You should have seen the way he looked at me

Well, I tell you
He really knocked me dead
So, I don't quite remember
Exactly what he said
I just stood there
And I shook my head
Cause, you should have seen the way he looked at me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

The music started playing
And before I knew it
He put his arms around me tenderly
He asked me for a kiss
And I just had to do it
You should have seen the way he looked at me

Well, you know that
He walked me home that night
There was starlight and moonlight
Everything was right
So I kissed him, with all my might
And you should have seen the way he looked at me
Yeah,
Whoa-oh-oh-no

He didn't let me down
Cause the very next day
You know he came around
And he told me that he loved me
Yes, he really did now
He said that he was mine eternally
I looked him in the eye
And said, you wouldn't kid now
You should have seen the way he looked at me

And then one day
I wore something new
Something old, and borrowed,
And something blue
I remember, when he said, I do
You should have seen the way he looked at me

[Fades to End]
Whoa-oh-yeah
Whoa-oh-yeah
Whoa-oh-yeah
Whoa-oh-yeah
Whoa-oh-yeah

Sweet Baby James


Sweet Baby James
Composer(s): James Taylor
First release by: James Taylor - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



There is a young cowboy who lives on the range
His horse and his cattle were his only companions
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyon
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change
As the moon rises he sits by his fire
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
He's closing his eyes as the dogies retire
He sings out a song which is soft but is clear
As if maybe someone could hear

Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Rock a bye sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colours i choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rock a bye sweet baby James

Now the first of december was covered with snow
So was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
Though the birches seemed dreamlike
On account of that frosting
With 10 miles behind me and 10,000 more to go
There's a song that they sing
When they take to the highway
There's a song that they sing
When they take to the sea
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
But singing works just fine for me

Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Rock a bye sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colours i choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rock a bye sweet baby James

You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)


You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)
Composer(s): Andy Goldmark; Bruce Roberts
Performer(s): Jeffrey Osborne



When you want all the love you deserve
And the heat's on your mind
Don't you even think about it
I'll be there just wrapped around you
I can't hold back what I feel inside
It's just a fact that

You should be mine
Anything you want
You got to fortify my love
You fortify me

You should be mine
Anything you want
You got to fortify my love
You fortify me

Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
You should be mine, all mine

Any way that your heart has been denied
Ooh, you can come to me
Every time that we're together
Just confirms the good thing we've got
And something this good can't be defined
One thing's for sure that

You should be mine
Anything you want
You got to fortify my love
You fortify me

You should be mine
Anything you want
You got to fortify my love
You fortify me

Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
You should be mine, all mine

Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
You should be mine

In the height of your worry
Where it's running too deep for you
When it all proves too much, too much, too much
I'll pull you through
I can't hold back what I know inside
It's just a fact that

You should be mine
Anything you want
You got to fortify my love
You fortify me

You should be mine
Anything you want
You got to fortify my love
You fortify me

(You should be mine)
Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
You should be mine, all mine

(You should be mine)
Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
You should be mine

(You should be mine)
Ooh...ooh...ooh...

Sweet Angeline, I loved you
Much more than poets say in rhyme
Just for one short time

Sweet Angeline remember
Though we've not seen the Summer through
I lived only for you

I'm only human and I realise
It's no use trying to disguise
My love for you Angeline has ended
So let's be thankful now, not sad
For the little love we've had

Sweet Angeline remember

For the little love we've had

Sweet And Lovely


Sweet And Lovely
Composer(s): Gus Arnheim - Jules LeMare (Chas. N. Daniels) - Harry Tobias
Performer(s): Gus Arnheim



Sweet and lovely, sweeter than the roses in May
Sweet and lovely, heaven must have sent her my way
Skies above me never were as blue as her eyes
And she loves me, who would want a sweeter surprise?

When she nestles in my arms so tenderly
There's a thrill that words cannot express
In my heart a song of love is taunting me, melody haunting me
Sweet and lovely, sweeter than the roses in May
And she loves me, there is nothing more I can say

You Shook Me All Night Long


You Shook Me All Night Long
Composer(s): Brian Johnson; Angus Young; Malcolm Young
Performer(s): AC/DC;
and various other artists



She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there

'Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you

Shook me all night long

Working double time
On the seduction line
She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine
She wanted no applause
Just another course
Made a meal out of me and came back for more
Had to cool me down
To take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing

'Cause the walls were shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you

Shook me all night long

Sweet And Gentle


Sweet And Gentle
Composer(s): Otilio del Portal - George Thorn
Performer(s): Alan Dale
and multiple other artists



Ohhhhhhh I was sweet and gentle
(He was sweet and gentle)
Kind of sentimental
(Kind of sentimental)
No one will deny it
(No one will deny it)
I was once so quiet
And then the magic night
I learned to do the cha cha
And now I'll never be the same
For I have turned into a dancing Cucaracha
And my muchacha is to blame
How can I be gentle
Sweet and sentimental
While the cha cha's playing
And my heart is swaying
I find that I am even dancing
when I'm walking
I'm haunted by that cha cha beat
I hear the rhythm start
When we are talking
I do the cha cha in my sleep

I was sweet and gentle
(He was sweet and gentle)
Kind of sentimental
(Kind of sentimental)
No one will deny it
(No one will deny it)
I was once so quiet
And then the magic night
I learned to do the cha cha
And now I'll never be the same
For I have turned into a dancing Cucaracha
And my muchacha is to blame

Please be sweet and gentle
(Please be sweet and gentle)
Treat me sentimental
(Treat him sentimental)
For I'm tempermental
(Cha cha cha cha)
When I cha cha with you
Cha cha cha, cha cha cha
Cha cha cha oooooooo
