Lost In A Fog
Lost In A Fog
Composer(s): Dorothy Fields - Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Rudy Vallee & His Connecticut Yankees
and multiple other artists
Like a Ship at sea, I'm just lost in a fog
My mind is hazy, my thoughts are blue
Guess I'll always be kinda
Lost in a fog without you
Waitin' night and day like a bump on a log
I'm goin' crazy, what can I do
Help me find my way
`Cos I'm lost in a fog without you
It was sunny every day
The sky was fair above
But you took the light away
The day you took your love
Only fools like me could be tossed in a bog
I've got a heartache I never knew
Guess I'll always be kinda
Lost in a fog without you
Like a ship at sea, I'm lost in a fog
My mind is hazy, my thoughts are blue
Guess I'll always be kinda
Lost in a fog without you
Waitin' night and day like a bump on a log
I'm goin' crazy, what can I do
Help me find my way
`Cos I'm lost in a fog without you
It was sunny every day
The sky was fair above
But you took the light away
The day you took your love
Only fools like me could be tossed in a bog
I've got a heartache I never knew
Guess I'll always be kinda
Lost in a fog without you

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life
Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life
Composer(s): Eric Idle
First release by: Eric Idle - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing your life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And.....
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle
That's the thing
And...
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin
Give the audience a grin
Enjoy it
It's your last chance, anyhow
So ...
Always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke
It's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
And...
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!

Lost Highway
Lost Highway
Composer(s): Leon Payne
First release by: Leon Payne - 1948
Covered by multiple other artists
I'm a rollin' stone, all alone and lost
For a life of sin I have paid the cost
When I pass by all the people say
Just another guy on the lost highway
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a woman's lies makes a life like mine
Oh, the day we met, I went astray
I started rollin' down that lost highway
I was just a lad, nearly twenty-two
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
And now I'm lost, too late to pray
Lord, I paid the cost, on the lost highway
Now boy's don't start to ramblin' round
On this road of sin or you're sorrow bound
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway

Always Lift Him Up/Kanaka Wai Wai
Always Lift Him Up/Kanaka Wai Wai
Composer(s): Alfred Reed
Performer(s): Ry Cooder
When a fellow has the blues and feels discouraged
And there's nothing else but trouble all his life
When he's always grumbled at and never happy
Living with a scolding, aggravating wife
If he's sick and tired of life and takes to drinking
Do not pass him by, don't greet him with a frown
Do not fail to lend a hand and try to help him
Always lift him up and never knock him down
If he stays out late at night because he's worried
And because his home is not what it should be
Have a smile for him whenever you should meet him
It would help him just the right way, don't you see
If he gambles when he's in the town or city
Tell him what he ought to do to gain the crown
Lend a hand and do not fail to show him pity
Always lift him up and never knock him down
If he cannot pay his debts and feels disgusted
If he's blue and doesn't have a word to say
Let him know you are his friend who can be trusted
It would cheer this lonely fellow on his way
If he finds it hard for him to keep his family
Let a kind word greet his ear when he's around
Don't say anything at all to make against him
Always lift him up and never knock him down
If he has no friends and everyone's against him
If he's failed at everything that he has tried
Try to lift his load, to help to bear his burden
Let him know that you are walking by his side
And if he feels that all is lost, and he is falling
Try to place that poor man's feet on solid ground
Just remember he's some mother's precious darling
Always lift him up and never knock him down
Always lift him up and never knock him down

Lost Her In The Sun
Lost Her In The Sun
Composer(s): John Stewart
Performer(s): John Stewart
Given any day there's a jet flying somewhere
Oh, she bought a ticket and she vanished in the sky
How was I to know she was leaving in the morning
I never heard her go, she never said goodbye
I've learned to love the night 'cause the light's gonna get ya
Right between the eyes in the morning like a gun
Reaching out your hand and she's not there beside you
Oh, what can I say, lost her in the sun
What have I done?
Lost her in the sun
Lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Lost her in the sun
Oh, I lost her in the sun
Fire up your heart for the wind is getting cold now
It always gets cold for the rider's of the night
You carry that scar when you know what lonesome is
Looking for a home like a bird in flight
And what have I done?
Lost her in the sun
Lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Lost her in the sun
Oh, I lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun

Always late with your kisses
Won't you come to my arms, sweet darlin', and stay

When you know you're always late
Always late with your kisses
Why, why, why do you want to do me this way

Lost April
Lost April
Composer(s): Emil Newman - Hubert Spencer - Edgar DeLange
Performer(s): Nat "King" Cole
and multiple other artists
Lost April, where did you go
Like the winter snow I saw you vanish
Lost April, so soft and warm
A memory not even time can banish
Lost April, that taught me this
A single kiss could lead to heaven
But April had numbered days
So when they passed, love couldn't last
I lost love and you and April, too

Always In My Heart (Forever On My Mind)
Always In My Heart (Forever On My Mind)
Composer(s): J. Fred Coots - Roy Turk
Performer(s): Ethel Shutta
Always in my heart, forever on my mind
No matter what I do I find
That you’re always in my heart, and forever on my mind
When I’m all alone and gloomy clouds appear
Those gloomy clouds are silver lined
‘cause you’re always in my heart and forever on my mind
I have built a world of hopes about you
You’re part of me dear, I’m part of you
Life would be an empty shell without you
A love like this I never knew
Living just for you, today, tomorrow too
And when I leave this world behind
You’ll be always in my heart and forever on my mind

Losing You
Losing You
((Adapted from: Connais-tu (by Tino Rossi))
((Portuguese Version: Perdendo-te (by Moacyr Franco) - 1969))
Composer(s): Pierre Havet - Jean Renard - Carl Sigman
Performer(s): Brenda Lee - 1963
Don't sigh a sigh for me
Don't ever cry for me
This is goodbye for me
I know we're through
I'm losing you
Love sang it's song for me
Then things went wrong for me
Nights are too long for me
Because I'm losing you
Our love and our devotion
Were deep as any ocean
Then one day like the tide you began to change
And you became a perfect stranger
Someone is holding you
Sharing the lips I knew
I can't believe it's true
That I am losing you
I can't believe it's true
That I am losing you

Always In All Ways
Always In All Ways
Composer(s): Frank Harling - Richard Whiting - Leo Robin
Performer(s): Jeanette MacDonald
We all must have our dreary days
As well as bright and cheery days
But sun or shadow you can count on me
Though lady luck may frown on you
And gloomy clouds look down on you
Remember I will still be by your side
Forever
Always in all ways rely upon me
Should any doubt come
Wait for the outcome hopefully
Always in all ways whatever may be
I will rely on just you and trust you
Sometimes in small ways, we may not agree
But we will weather hardship together wait and see
We’ll have a happy ending
If you will keep depending
Always in all ways on me
We’ll have a happy ending
If you will keep depending
Always in all ways on me

Losing Touch
Losing Touch
Composer(s): Bruce Sussman - Jack Feldman - Barry Manilow
Performer(s): Barry Manilow
I can tell something's up
You haven't touched your Scotch
You've been staring out the window
Now you're staring at your watch
And lately that's been happening too much
I think we're losing touch
Is it something I've done
Or things I never said
It's been getting pretty quiet here on your side of the bed
Remember when we used to talk so much
I think we're losing touch
After all the love we found together
Who'd have ever guessed that we could fall
After all the things we had in common
Were they too common after all?
Won't you tell me what's wrong
I haven't got a clue
Is there something we can take for this
Or something we can do?
Together you and I have had so much
There's so much to lose
And I think we're losing touch

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to feel
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Throught many dangers toils and snares
We have already come
'Twas grace that brought us save that far
And grace will lead us home
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

Losing My Mind
Losing My Mind
Composer(s): Stephen Sondheim
First performance by: Dorothy Collins - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
The sun comes up
I think about you
the coffee cup
I think about you
I want you so
it's like I'm losing my mind
The morning ends
I think about you
I talk to friends
I think about you
and do they know?
It's like I'm losing my mind
All afternoon
doing every little chore
the thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
not going left
not going right
I dim the lights and think about you
spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me
or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing
losing my mind?
All afternoon
doing every little chore
the thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
not going left
not going right
Or am I losing my mind?
You said you loved me
or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
Or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
Losing my mind
losing my mind

Aimer Avant De Mourir
Aimer Avant De Mourir
Composer(s): Baldan - Claude Bardotti - Claude Carrère
Performer(s): Sheila
S'envoler
Et ne plus penser
Faire de la poésie
Sans jamais s'arrêter
Rester seul
Dans l'immensité
Qui te donne
La sérénité
Quand tu as fait le vide
Au fond de toi
Tu peux donner
Un sens à ta vie
Alors tu sais que la vérité
C'est d'aimer avant de mourir
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C'est d'aimer avant de mourir
Alors tu sais
Que pour exister
Il faut aimer avant de mourir
Alors tu sais que la vérité
C'est d'aimer avant de mourir
Alors tu sais que la vérité
C'est d'aimer avant de mourir

Losing Faith In Words
Losing Faith In Words
Composer(s): Peter Hammill
Performer(s): Peter Hammill; Hamada
I just can't see why you can't see what I mean
but I can't make things any plainer
the words get in the way
is that quite what I mean?
If not now, then certainly sooner or later
we've got a problem with communication
look, I scrabble with my hands
I try to get some head-room from the elevation
but you just don't understand
Most of the things we say mean we most of the time
treat our speech with derision
flap our hands in body-telegram - I know that gets through
so much better than anything said with precision
We've got a problem with communication
and it's getting quite absurd ...
well, I think I'm going to flip out from the sheer frustration
yes, I'm losing faith in words
We've got a problem with communication
only getting through in anagrams
I try to get some linkage from articulation
I try to get some head-room from the elevation
I try to pull back something from my education ...
Yes, I try to, try to, try to but I just don't understand
I try, I just don't understand
I talk, you just don't understand
Sometimes I don't know why I bother
but I'm bothered

Aimer À Perdre La Raison
Aimer À Perdre La Raison
Composer(s): Louis Aragon - Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
and multiple other artists
Aimer à perdre la raison
Aimer à n'en savoir que dire
À n'avoir que toi d'horizon
Et ne connaître de saisons
Que par la douleur du partir
Aimer à perdre la raison
Ah c'est toujours toi que l'on blesse
C'est toujours ton miroir brisé
Mon pauvre bonheur, ma faiblesse
Toi qu'on insulte et qu'on délaisse
Dans toute chair martyrisée
Aimer à perdre la raison
Aimer à n'en savoir que dire
À n'avoir que toi d'horizon
Et ne connaître de saisons
Que par la douleur du partir
Aimer à perdre la raison
La faim, la fatigue et le froid
Toutes les misères du monde
C'est par mon amour que j'y crois
En elle je porte ma croix
Et de leurs nuits ma nuit se fonde
Aimer à perdre la raison
Aimer à n'en savoir que dire
À n'avoir que toi d'horizon
Et ne connaître de saisons
Que par la douleur du partir
Aimer à perdre la raison

Losin' The Blues For You
Losin' The Blues For You
Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul - James Coburn
Performer(s): Lynsey De Paul
Another place
Another time
Another face
One more line
Pretty soon I'll be through
Losin' the blues for you
Another dance
Another tune
Another chance
Someone new who
Will help me get through
Losin' the blues for you
I'm gonna play the night away
Clowning around
East side, west side and end up downtown
I'm gonna blow the day away
Out of my mind
Time after time, until I find
Another room
Another bar
A new perfume
It's so hard
Whatever I do
Losin' the blues for you
oooh
I'm gonna play the night away
Clowning around
East side, west side and end up downtown
I'm gonna blow the day away
Out of my mind
Time after time, until I find
Another shade
Another hue
That will not fade
Into blue
Like I did from you
Though I didn't choose to
It's no excuse
But what's the use
There's nothing I can do about it
I'm oozing the blues for you
Losing the blues for you

Aimer
Aimer
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Jean-Pierre Bourtayre - Jacques Revaux
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Par un frisson léger et presque imperceptible
Le corps ressent soudain comme un mal ignoré
Qui le ronge et le rend vulnérable et sensible
Au charme d'une voix ou d'un nom évoqué, murmuré
Puis viennent les envies, les chaleurs, les vertiges
Les raisons d'espérer et celles d'avoir mal
Les besoins de tendresse enfin qui nous obligent
À trouver merveilleux ce qui n'est que banal
Aimer plus que soi-même
Aimer sans réfléchir
Aimer plus qu'on nous aime
Pour mieux se plaindre et mieux souffrir
Le cœur n'est qu'un organe étranger à ces choses
Qui ne bat ni plus fort ni plus vite, et pourtant
On lui offre une action, on lui donne une prose
Et Dieu seul sait pourquoi on le jette en avant, en tremblant
L'amour vient-il des yeux, de la peau ou du ventre ?
Pour le localiser, c'est difficile en soi
C'est comme un tourbillon dont on se veut le centre
Et on parle de lui pour mieux parler de soi
Aimer plus que soi-même
Aimer sans réfléchir
Aimer plus qu'on nous aime
Pour mieux se plaindre et mieux souffrir
Et bien que tous nos gestes au fond restent les mêmes
On les veut singulier, on les croit différents
On se sent libre enfin de n'avoir qu'un problème
Que d'aucuns qualifient de simple mal de dent d'un moment
Entre nous, l'être aimé n'a que ce qu'on lui prête
La grâce qu'on lui loue, la beauté qu'on lui crée
Ses formes modelées par nos pensées secrètes
Deviennent œuvre d'art qu'un subconscient a fait
Aimer plus que soi-même
Aimer sans réfléchir
Aimer plus qu'on nous aime
Pour mieux se plaindre et mieux souffrir
