Alors Qu'est-Ce Que C'est?


Alors Qu'est-Ce Que C'est?
((English Version: Harmour Love (by Syreeta Wright))
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoé - Claude Lemesle - Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



C'est un mot, c'est un jeu
C'est nouveau, c'est très vieux
On en rit, on en pleure
On en vit, on en meurt
C'est gaulois, c'est romain
C'est chinois, c'est germain
Et tout le monde ici le sait, alors
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

À l'école, la sentence
En parole, en parlant
Ephémère, éternelle
C'est l'enfer ou le ciel
En Marlène, en Margot
En verlan, en argot
Et tout le monde ici le sait, alors
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

C'est à toi, c'est à moi
Et ça nous plaît
Et tout le monde ici le sait, alors
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

C'est joli et ça porte pour moi un nom de fille
C'est la vie et ça porte pour toi un nom d'enfant
C'est plus fort que toutes les solitudes de la ville
C'est encore ce qu'on a fait de mieux depuis longtemps

C'est Juliette et Tristan
Marinette et Adam
Le serpent et la pomme
Les souris et les hommes
C'est Venise et Capri
C'est Denise et Marie
Et tout le monde ici le sait, alors
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

C'est le vent, c'est la gloire
Le roman et l'histoire
Cléopâtre et Bardot
Henri IV et Ino
C'est un mot, c'est un dieu
C'est très beau, c'est par deux
Et tout le monde ici le sait, alors
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

C'est à toi, c'est à moi
Et on s'y plait
Et tout le monde ici le sait, alors
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

C'est joli et ça porte pour moi un nom de fille
C'est la vie et ça porte pour toi un nom d'enfant
C'est plus fort que toutes les solitudes de la ville
C'est encore ce qu'on a fait de mieux depuis longtemps

Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman, don't you know
With you I'm born again

Come give me your sweetness
Now there's you, there is no weakness
Lying safe within your arms
I'm born again

I was half, not whole
In step with none
Reaching through this world
In need of one

Come show me your kindness
In your arms I know I'll find this
Woman, don't you know
With you I'm born again
Lying safe with you I'm born again

Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman, don't you know
With you I'm born again

Come give me your sweetness
Now there's you, there is no weakness
Lying safe within your arms
I'm born again
Woman, don't you know
With you I'm born again

I was half, not whole
In step with none
Reaching through this world
In need of one

Come show me your kindness
In your arms I know I'll find this
Woman, don't you know
With you I'm born again
Lying safe with you I'm born again

It's so bright, it's a light
It's a so out of sight
It's a feelin' all right

It's the best thing in life
That you don't have to buy
It's a funny funny feelin'
Down in your heart

It's so neat, it's a treat
It's a somethin' that's sweet
It's the one thing in life
That will never be beat
It's the one sits inside
And loses the key
That's that funny funny feelin'
Down in your heart

It's a love, it's a love, it's a love
It's the funny funny feelin'
Down in your heart

Let it into your heart
And you'll feel this funny feelin'
Let it in, then together
We'll join in harmour love
Let it in, for the beat of your heart
Will keep the rhythm
Let it smile on the outside
And sing in harmour love

Oh Joe, it's a pen, it's a friend
It's a how have you been
It's a I'm lookin' forward
To seeing you again
It's a laugh, it's a grin
It's a let it begin
It's that funny funny feelin'
Down in your heart

It's a walk through the park
It's a kiss in the dark
It's a vow made by two
That they never will part
It's the spark that you feelin'
From the moment it starts
Known as that funny funny feelin'
Down in your heart

I want to love you and always be with you
Share all life's pleasures and heartaches with you
And I want you to love me and need me and want me

Make every plan and dream each dream with you
And I want to help you comfort and love you I want to always be with you

Familiar old ove songs and stories seem new
I'm complete since I found you I've built my world around you
A world that I want to share with you
With you with you...
With you with you I want to be with you

Alors Je Dérive


Alors Je Dérive
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



La la la la la la
Je suis bien
Écrasée contre ton cœur
La la la la la la
Ne dis rien
Laisse parler le bonheur
Car les mots que l'on dit en amour
Sont sans importance
La la la la la la
Jusqu'au jour
Gardons le silence

Pour que je dérive
Au cours de l'amour
Et baigne en eau profonde
Comme une algue
Au fleuve du temps
Je file au gré de l'onde
Je dérive
Étant tour à tour
Lorsque nos deus cœurs s'affolent
Au creux de la vague
À la proue du vent
Sans dire une parole

La la la la la la
dans la nuit
Toi et moi ne ferons qu'un
La la la la la la
Loin du bruit
Jusqu'aux lueurs du matin
Les mots qu'en amour on dit nouveaux
Sont toujours les mêmes
La la la la la la
Quand ta peau
Murmure je t'aime
Alors je dérive

Along The Way To Waikiki


Along The Way To Waikiki
Composer(s): Richard A. Whiting - Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



Far away, far away
Where the balmy breezes blow
Where they sway while they play
Ukeleles sweet and low

Where my heart is I am going
And I wish you were going too
If you stray down that way
I'll be there to welcome you

And if you like, you can hike with me
Along the way to Waikiki
Where the palm trees swaying
Playing in the breeze
Harmonise with those Hawaiian melodies

That's why I yearn to return once more
I want to stroll o'er the golden shore
Where the silv'ry stars and the steel guitars
Stole a part of the heart of me
Along the way to Waikiki

If you go then I know
You will learn to love it too
Eyes aglow, voices low
Singing love songs just for you

If the world looks blue and dreary
And you long for a place worthwhile
Let me know, let me show you
That sunny sun-kissed isle

And if you like, you can hike with me
Along the way to Waikiki
Where the plam trees swaying
Playing in the breeze
Harmonise with those Hawaiian melodies

That's why I yearn to return once more
I want to stroll o'er the golden shore
Where the silv'ry stars and the steel guitars
Stole a part of the heart of me
Along the way to Waikiki

I feel it in my heart, got it in my soul

With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you
With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you

Along The Road


Along The Road
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
and multiple other artists



Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part of the heart
Gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road

Along the road
Your path may wander
A pilgrim's faith may fail
Absence makes the heart grow stronger
Darkness obscures the trail

Cursing the quest
Courting disaster
Measureless nights forebode
Moments of rest
Glimpses of laughter
Are treasured along the road

Along the road
Your steps may tumble
Your thoughts may start to stray
But through it all a heart held humble
Levels and lights your way

Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part of the heart
Gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road
Somewhere along the road
Somewhere along the road

With these hands, I will cling to you
I'm yours forever and a day
With these hands, I will bring to you

Long after stars have lost their glow
And with these hands, I'll provide for you
Should there be a stormy sea
I'll turn the tide for you
And I'll never
No, I'll never let you go

Along The Navajo Trail


Along The Navajo Trail
Composer(s): Larry Markes - Dick Charles - Eddie DeLange
Performer(s): Roy Rogers
and multiple other artists



Every day, along about evening
When the sunlight's beginning to pale
I ride through the slumbering shadows
Along the Navajo Trail
When it's night and crickets are callin'
And coyotes are makin' a wail
I dream by a smoldering fire
Along the Navajo Trail
I love to lie and listen to the music
When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar
When over yonder hill the moon is climbin'
It always finds me wishin' on a star
Well whatta ya know, it's mornin' already
There's the dawnin', so silver and pale
It's time to climb into my saddle
And ride the Navajo Trail

I love to lie and listen to the music
When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar
When over yonder hill the moon is climbin'
It always finds me wishin' on a star
Well whatta ya know, it's mornin' already
There's the dawnin', so silver and pale (like a silvery veil)
It's time to climb into my saddle
And ride the Navajo Trail
Ride the Navajo Trail
Ride the Navajo Trail

With The Wind And The Rain In Your Hair


With The Wind And The Rain In Your Hair
Composer(s): Clara Edwards; Jack Lawrence
Performer(s): Bob Crosby;
and various other artists



Last night we met and I dream of you yet
With the wind and the rain in your hair
I held you tight and you whispered "Goodnight"
With the wind and the rain in your hair

Now it will be my favourite memory
That vision of you standing there
Oh, there in the mist, how you sighed when we kissed
With the wind and the rain in your hair

Now it will be may favourite memory
That vision of you standing there
Umm, there in the mist, how you sighed when we kissed
With the wind and the rain in your hair

Along Comes Mary


Along Comes Mary
Composer(s): Tandyn Almer
First release by: The Association - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
Someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse
And curse those faults in me

And then along comes Mary
And does she want to give me kicks, and be my steady chick
And give me pick of memories
Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations
No one ever sees

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played and neighbour folks make jokes
As who is most to blame today

And then along comes Mary
And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality
From where she got her name
And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch as hers
Will make them not the same

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

And when the morning of the warnings passed, the gassed
And flaccid kids are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars

And then along comes Mary
And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains
She left the night before
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them
Realise their urgent cry for sight no more

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

With The Eyes Of A Child


With The Eyes Of A Child
Composer(s): Guy Fletcher; Doug Flett
Performer(s): Cliff Richard



Draw back the curtain
Let the sun stream in
So tell me a story
When you're ready, begin
Speak of the peaceful
The gracious, the wise
Let the world hear our laughter
Before it dies
With a beginning
There must be an end
What is the truth of that my friend
From the sound of the joyous
The gentle, the mild
Please look out at life
With the eyes of a child

From the eyes of a child
Keep out darkness and let in light
Let the eyes of a child
See little things that will give him peace
And fill his life

Short is the memory
But long is the hate
For peace on the earth
How long must we wait?
Think of the colours
The seasons, the sun
Put an end to the sorrows
That we have begun

From the eyes of a child
Keep out darkness and let in light
Let the eyes of a child
See little things that will give him peace
And fill his life

Draw back the curtain
The stage is all set
And start on a story
We'll never forget
Tell all the hopeful
The loving, the mild
Then look out at life
With the eyes of a child

Along Comes A Woman


Along Comes A Woman
Composer(s): Peter Cetera - Mark Goldenberg
Performer(s): Chicago



There is a time when a man needs somebody to talk to
Someone to talk to, somebody who’ll always be there

All alone, nothin’ seemed to matter
So alone, doesn’t get much better
Can’t explain somethin’ that you’re feelin’
For the very first time

There was a time when you needed someone to hold onto
Someone to hold you, somebody who’s always sincere

All alone, suddenly you see her
So alone, you know you’re gonna need her
Can’t explain, somethin’ that you’re feelin’
For the very first time

Then along comes a woman
There’s a change in the way that you’re feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it’s right

There was a time when you needed someone to count on
You needed someone to count on, somebody to care

Now she’s here, nothin’ seems to matter
She’s so near, everything is better
Can’t explain, somethin’ that you’re feelin’
For the very first time

Then along comes a woman
There’s a change in the way that you’re feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it’s right

With Plenty Of Money And You


With Plenty Of Money And You
Composer(s): Al Dubin; Harry Warren
Performer(s): Count Basie & Tony Bennett



Well, baby, what I couldn't do
With plenty of money and you
In spite of the worry that money brings
Just a little filthy looker buys a lot of things
And I could take you to places that you would like to go
But outside of that, I've no use for dough
It's the root of all evil
Of strife and upheaval
But I'm certain, honey, that life would be sunny
With plenty of money and you

It's the root of all evil
Of strife and upheaval
But I'm certain, honey, that life would be sunny
With plenty of money and you

Along Came You (A Song for Emily)


Along Came You (A Song for Emily)
Composer(s): Gloria Estefan
Performer(s): Gloria Estefan



I thought that I knew all there was to know
I knew all about love
I lived the highs and made it through the lows
I knew all about love
But now I must admit I'm surprised
And feel I've only scratched the surface
'Cause baby when I look in your eyes
I understand my one true purpose

You were sent to me
By angels up above, I'm certain
I thought I'd show you what love can be
But what did I know
Until along came you
To teach me about love
Oh yes, along came you
To teach me about love

And as this feeling grows with every day
You awaken my heart
A heart so full I fear that it may break
If we're ever apart
And though one day you'll be own your own
You know I always will be near you
As near as on the day you were born
Call on me, you know I'll hear you

You were sent to me
For one reason, I can tell you
You're here to show me what love can be
'Cause what did I know
Until along came you
To teach me about love
Oh yes, along came you
To teach me about love

Thula thula sana
U mama uyeza
Thula Thula sana
Thula thula sana
U mama uyeza

You were sent to me
By angels up above, I'm certain
You're here to show me what love can be
'Cause what did I know
Until along came you
To teach me about love, oh
Oh yes, along came you
To teach me about love
Teach me about love
Oh yes, along came you
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Teach me about love
Baby, baby teach me about love
Oh yes, along came you

With Pen In Hand


With Pen In Hand
Composer(s): Bobby Goldsboro
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey & Vikki Carr;
and various other artists



With pen in hand you sign your name
Today I find I'll be on that train
And you'll be free and i will be alone
So alone
If you think we can't find
The love we once knew
If you think I can't make
Everything up to you
Then I'll be gone
And you'll be on your own
You'll be on your own
Can you take good care of Jenny
Can you take her to school everyday
Can you teach her how to play
All the games that little girls play
Here what I say
Can you teach her how to roll up her hair
Can you make sure each night
That she says her prayers
Well if you can do these things
Then maybe she won't miss me
Maybe she won't miss me
And tonight as you lay
In that big lonely bed
And you look at that pillow
Where I laid my head
With your heart on fire
Will you have no desire
To kiss me
Or to hold me
And if you can forget
The good times that we had
If you don't think the good times
Outweigh the bad
Than go ahead and sign your name
And I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way
La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da

I'm Gonna Write A Song


I'm Gonna Write A Song
Composer(s): Glenn Sutton
First release by: Lynn Anderson - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Folks sit around with their face in a frown
And gape about the way things they are
They're happy to receive but they hardly ever want to give
I'm so tired of complaining and so in the time remaining
I'm gonna do my best to make the world a better place to live
I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
It's gonna be about sunshine and praise every living thing
It's gonna be about love
The one thing the world needs a lot more of
I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing

Our fourfathers had only faith in God
And they willed to make the nation strong
So the old time religion could help 'em find a better way
We need more soul saving and a lot more people flag waving
And there's no better time for us to start than today
I'm gonna write a song...
I'm gonna write a song...

With One More Look At You/Watch Closely Now


With One More Look At You/Watch Closely Now
Composer(s): Paul Williams; Kenny Ascher
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand & Kris Kristofferson



With one more look at you
I could learn to tame the clouds
And let the sun shine through
Leave a troubled past and I might start anew
I'll solve the mysteries if you're the prize
Refresh these tired eyes

With one more look at you
I might overcome the anger
That I've learned to know
Find a peace of mind I lost so long ago
Your gentle touch has made me strong again
And I belong again

For when you look at me
I'm everything and more that I had dreamed I'd be
My spirit feels a promise
I won't be alone
We'll love and live more
Love and live forever

With one more look at you
I'd learn to change the stars
And change our fortunes too
I'd have the constellations paint your portrait too
So all the world might share this wondrous sight
The world could end each night
With one more look at you
With one more look at you
I want one more look at you

Are you watching me now?
Watch closely now
Your eyes are like fingers
Touching my body
Arousing me so
I'm ridin' the passion arising inside me
How high can I go?
You're comin' with me, I'm gonna show you how
And when it's scary, I won't look down

Are you watching me now?
Watch closely now
I see the hunger arise in your eyes
And it's urging me on
Higher and harder and faster and farther
Than I've ever gone
Your pleasure is part of the secret
Of flight that I found
When I feel like an eagle
My soul has no place on the ground

Born out of madness
I'll double the danger with no net at all
If you don't look away I'm secure
In the fact that you won't let me fall

Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
I'm the master magician
Who'll help you escape
From the lies you've been told

When they're breaking your back
Bring the last straw to me
I turn straw into gold
I break chains made of boredom that others have lived
With for years
I leave good news on doorsteps
And laughs where there used to be tears

I'm gonna need you later
When you're not around
But I can take it
I won't look down

Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
Watch me now
Are you watching me now?
Are you watching me now?
