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

Miss Caroline
Gardez votre coeur d'enfant
Miss Caroline
Quelque part on vous attend

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

Sweet Blindness


Sweet Blindness
Composer(s): Laura Nyro
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

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

Composer(s): Chris Arnold - David Martin - Geoff Morrow
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



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
Though we've not seen the Summer through

For the little love we've had

(Sweet Angeline I loved you)

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

Sweet Amelia


Sweet Amelia
Composer(s): Aaron Neville - Gordon Chambers - Robbie Nevil - Bradley Spalter
Performer(s): Aaron Neville



Oh Amelia, oh Amelia
A southern woman, a southern woman
Never had a chance to say goodbye
I met her back in sixty-three, she was such a mystery
She was there on Barron Street, down in New Orleans
So wild, but yet so tame, she could calm a hurricane
She was only seventeen and Amelia was her name
Oh when I took her for a ride, she got close by my side
And when I looked into her eye, Amelia kept me hypnotized
But in my heart she fell, oh I got pulled into her spell
I can still see her there, with the flowers in her hair
Oh Amelia, my southern woman, oh my woman
I can still feel you, feel you, feel you, everytime I close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye
Never heard her say goodbye
I remember making love underneath the stars above
I can feel the summer breeze up in magnolia trees
That night in the southern light, the girl she took me by the hand
I was weak as a little lamb, but I became a man
Love was pumping through my veins, her lips were sweet like sugarcane
We rode all night in the rain, 'cross lake Poncetrain
She had a heart as fine as fire, burning innocent desire
I can still see her there, with flowers in her hair
Oh Amelia, oh Amelia
A southern woman, a southern woman
I can still feel you, everytime I close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
Where did you run to, where'd you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye
Never want to say goodbye
Just like a shooting star, she vanished in the night
But I'll always remember her lips so warm and tender
And in my heart she'll always shine so bright
Sweet Amelia, if I could just see her one more time
Oh Amelia, my southern woman
A southern woman,
I can still feel you, oh I can feel you, everytime I close my eyes, close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye (never, never, never, never never say goodbye)
Oh Amelia, oh Amelia
A southern woman, a southern woman
I can still feel you, everytime I close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye
Oh Amelia, a southern woman
A southern woman
I can still feel you, everytime I close my eyes, from the bottom of my heart
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
Where did you run to
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye

You Set My Heart On Fire
Composer(s): Appaiah Biddu
Performer(s): Tina Charles



Once my life was just a lonely room
With no one to take away my gloom
Waiting for someone to come and
fill my life with love
ooh sweet love

And set my heart on fire, fire
fire in the flame of love
higher higher
Than the stars above
I need someone to dive me in water water
that will make me strong
Oh I need somebody to burn me in the flame of love, yeah

Every cloud must have a silver lining
You came alone my knight in armor shining
All my life I've been knocking on doors
Now I'm so glad that door that opened was yours

You set my heart on fire, fire
fire with the flame of love
Oh you take me higher higher
Than the stars above
You got, you got to dive me in water water
that will make me strong
Oh pretty baby I'm burning at your flame of love, yeah
Oh pretty baby I'm burning, burning at your love
Oh pretty baby I'm burning, burning at your flame of love

Swayin' To The Music (Slow Dancin')


Swayin' To The Music (Slow Dancin')
Composer(s): Jack Tempchin
Performer(s): Johnny Rivers



It's late at night and we're all alone
With just the music on the radio
No one's coming, no one's gonna telephone
Just me and you and the lights down low
And we're

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Just you, girl

And we just flow together when the lights are low
And shadows dancing across the wall
The music's playing so soft and slow
And the rest of the world so far away and small
And we're

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Just you, girl

Hold me, hold me
Don't ever let me go

As we dance together in the dark
There's so much love in this heart of mine
You whisper to me and I hold you tight
You're the one I thought I'd never find

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Just you, girl

You Saved My Soul


You Saved My Soul
Composer(s): Burton Cummings
Performer(s): Burton Cummings



We went together for so long
ev'ry second record on the radio seemed like our song
How we hurt each other; oh baby it was so wrong
something in the bottom of my heart will keep me holding on

'cause you saved my soul
you came along and took me out of the night time
Yeah you saved my soul
taught me to fly...and I gave my heart
and babe that's something that there's jut no returning
'cause if I have you now I'll never have to make it alone

We were lovers for so long
every second record on the radio seemed like our song
even though we're older, things we're feeling can't be all wrong
something in the bottom of my heart will keep me holding on

'cause you....(repeat chorus)
..............I'll never have to make it alone
Saved my soul; saved my soul
Saved my soul; saved my soul

You saved my soul....(repeat chorus)...
...............never have to make it alone

yes if I have you now I'll never have to make it alone
yes if I have you now I'll never have to make it alone
