You've Got Love


You've Got Love
Composer(s): Roy Orbison; Norman Petty; Johnny Wilson
Performer(s): Buddy Holly;
Peter Lewis; The Swinging Blue Jeans;
Marty Wilde; Peanuts Wilson



You got two lips that look so fine
you got one heart I wish was mine
Love - sweet love
you’ve got love (genuine love)

You got two arms that you could use
to make me lose my blues
Love - sweet love
you’ve got love (real fine love)

You’ve got love - real love
you’ve got love - sweet love
you’ve got love - that is true
I want only you

You got two eyes so you can see
your love was meant for me
Love - sweet love
you’ve got love (you’ve got love)

You’ve got love - real love
you’ve got love - sweet love
you’ve got me in a spin
I like the spin I’m in

A Kind Of Magic


A Kind Of Magic
Composer(s): Roger Taylor
First release by: Queen - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists



It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
A kind of magic
One dream, one soul, one prize
One goal, one golden glance of what should be
It's a kind of magic
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
It's a mind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
It's a challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity
It's a kind of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be gone
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies
It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be will soon be
Will soon be gone
This is a kind of magic
Tere can only be one
This life that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be gone
Magic - it's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
Magic, magic, magic, magic
It's magic
It's a kind of magic

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
If you've got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and can see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it's me and you
Boy, and as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

A Junkie's Lament


A Junkie's Lament
Composer(s): James Taylor
Performer(s): James Taylor



Ricky's been kicking the gong
Lickety split didn't take too long
A junkie's sick
A monkey's strong
That's what's wrong

Well, I guess he's been messing around downtown
So sad to see the man losing ground
Winding down behind closed doors
On all fours

Mama, don't you call him my name
He can't hear you anymore
And even if he seems the same to you
That's a stranger to your door
Ask him what's he come here for

Oh my God, a monkey can move a man
Send him to hell
And home again
With an empty hand in the afternoon
Shooting for the moon

It's halfway sick
And it's halfway stoned
He'd sure like to kick
But it's too far gone
They wind him down with the methadone
He's all on his own

But baby, don't you throw your love away
I hate to seem unkind
It's only that I understand the man
That the monkey can leave behind
I used to think he was a friend of mine

and that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again

People can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
Well they'll take your soul if you let them
Oh yeah, but don't you let them
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Oh babe, don't you know that
Winter spring summer or fall
Hey now, all you've got to do is call
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will

You've got a friend

A Journey To A Star


A Journey To A Star
Composer(s): Leo Robin - Harry Warren
Performer(s): Judy Garland
and multiple other artists



A journey to a star would not be very far
As long as I’m alone with you
Romantic as we are, a journey to a star
Could start before the dawn breaks through

You’re right beside my heart
We’re just about a kiss apart
And we could make a dream come true
A moment of your love would have the feeling of
A journey to a star with you

You’re right beside my heart
We’re just about a kiss apart
And we could make a dream come true
A moment of your love would have the feeling of
A journey to a star with you

You've Changed


You've Changed ((Spanish Version: Cambió (by Pedro Aznar)) Composer(s): Carl Fischer - Bill Carey First release by: Dick Haymes & Harry James and His Orch. - 1941 Covered by multiple other artists



I've an awful feeling that
This thought that's been a-stealing
Through my brain
Is not to be ignored

But to really tell the truth
Though I'm not a well known sleuth
I honestly believe
That you are bored

You've changed
That sparkle in your eye is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart
You've changed

You've changed
You're kisses now are so blasé
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand
You've changed

You've forgotten the words 'I love you'
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realize you've ever cared

You've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now
You've changed

À Joinville Le Pont


À Joinville Le Pont
Composer(s): Étienne Lorin - Ras Baboo Pierre
Performer(s): André Bourvil
and multiple other artists



J'suis un petit gars plombier zingueur
J'fais des semaines de quarante huit heures
Et j'attends qu'les dimanches s'amènent
Pour sortir ma jolie Maimaine
Ou bien une autre ça revient au même
Mais moi j'préfère quand même Maimaine
À qui qu'un jour fougueux j'ai dit
Si qu'on allait s'promener chérie

À Joinville le Pont
Pon! Pon!
Tous deux nous irons
Ron! Ron!
Regarder guincher
Chez chez chez Gégène
Si l'cœur nous en dit
Dis dis
On pourra aussi
Si si
Se mettre à guincher
Chez chez chez Gégène

Au bord de l'eau y a les pêcheurs
Et dans la Marne y a les baigneurs
On voit des gens qui mangent des moules
Ou des frites s'ils n'aiment pas les moules
On mange avec les doigts c'est mieux
Y a qu'les belles filles qu'on mange des yeux
Sous les tonnelles on mange des glaces
Et dans la Marne on boit la tasse

À Joinville le Pont
Pon! Pon!
Tous deux nous irons
Ron! Ron!
Regarder guincher
Chez chez chez Gégène
Si l'cœur nous en dit
Dis dis
On pourra aussi
Si si
Se mettre à guincher
Chez chez chez Gégène

Et quand la nuit tombe à neuf heures
Y a pu d'pêcheurs, y a pu d'baigneurs
Y a pu d'belles filles sous les ramures
Y reste plus qu'des épluchures
Maimaine me dit j'ai mal aux pieds
Sur mon vélo j'dois la ramener
Mais dès lundi j'pense au samedi
Quand vient le samedi, moi ça me dit

À Joinville le Pont
Pon! Pon!
Tous deux nous irons
Ron! Ron!
Regarder guincher
Chez chez chez Gégène
Si l'cœur nous en dit
Dis dis
On pourra aussi
Si si
Se mettre à guincher
Chez chez chez Gégène

You've Been In Love (That Little Bit Too Long)


You've Been In Love (That Little Bit Too Long)
Performer(s): Phil Collins



You've been in love that little bit too long
You've been in love and I think that you know
You've been in love it's time to move on
You've been in love and it's starting to show

She's getting to used to your face, getting too used to your smile
She's saying the same things every morning before you leave her

You'd better run, find out what's going through her mind
You'd better look out, cos he's not far behind
You've been in love that little bit too long
You've been in love and I think that you know
You've been in love it's time to move on
You've been in love and it's starting to show

Suddenly she's trying to please you, you start to think she's acting strange
And after all these years she wears make-up in the morning
You'd better run, find out what's going through her mind
You'd better look out, cos he's not far behind

Did you really believe she's doing it all for you?
Oh, can't you see, there's somebody else
You never showed it, you should have known it

You've been in love, yeah you've been in love
You've been in love, yeah you've been in love

Going round singing all those love songs, songs you haven't heard for years
You're gonna have to ask her why she's so happy
You'd better run, find out what's going through her mind.
But it may be too late, and I know why

You've been in love that little bit too long
You've been in love and I think that you know
You've been in love it's time to move on
You've been in love and it's starting to show
You've been in love that little bit too long
You've been in love, I think that you know
You've been in love it's time to move on
You've been in love and it's starting to show
To show, show, you've been in love, oh oh

(I've got blisters on my fingers!)

À Jeun


À Jeun
Composer(s): Jacques Brel - Gérard Jouannest
Performer(s): Jacques Brel



Parfaitement à jeun
Vous me voyez surpris
De ne pas trouver mon lit ici

Parfaitement à jeun
Je le vois qui recule
Je le vois qui bascule aussi

Guili guili guili

Viens-là mon petit lit
Si tu ne viens pas t'a moi
Ce n'est pas moi qui irai t'à toi
Mais qui n'avance pas recule
Comme dit Monsieur Dupneu
Un mec qui articule
Et qui est chef du contentieux

Parfaitement à jeun
Je reviens d'une belle fête
J'ai enterré Huguette ce matin

Parfaitement à jeun
J'ai fait semblant d'pleurer
Pour ne pas faire rater la fête

Z'étaient deux cents noirs
Les voisins les amis
Y avait qu'moi qu'était gris
Dans cette foire
Y avait beau-maman belle-papa
Z'avez pas vu Mirza
Et puis Monsieur Dupneu
Qu'est chef du contentieux

Parfaitement à jeun
En enterrant ma femme
J'ai surtout enterré
la maitresse d'André

Je n'l'ai su que c'matin
Et par un enfant de chœur
Qui m'racontait qu'sa sœur ah ça
Il me reste deux solutions
Ou bien frapper André
Ou bien gnougnougnafié
La femme d'André
Sur son balcon
Ou bien rester chez moi
Feu-cocu mais joyeux
C'est ce que me conseille André
André André Dupneu
Qu'est mon chef du contentieux

Parfaitement à jeun
Vous me voyez surpris
De ne pas trouver mon lit

Janela
Performer(s): Roberto Carlos



Da janela o horizonte, a liberdade de uma estrada eu posso ver
O meu pensamento voa livre em sonhos pra longe de onde estou
Eu às vezes penso até onde essa estrada pode levar alguém
Tanta gente já se arrependeu e eu
Eu vou pensar
Eu vou pensar

Quantas vezes eu pensei sair de casa mas eu desisti
Pois eu sei lá fora eu não teria o que eu tenho agora aqui
Meu pai me dá conselhos, minha mãe vive falando sem saber
Que eu tenho meus problemas e que às vezes só eu posso resolver

Coisas da vida
Choque de opiniões
Coisas da vida
Coisas da vida

Novamente eu penso ir embora viver a vida que eu quiser
Caminhar no mundo enfrentando qualquer coisa que vier
Penso andar sem rumo, pelas ruas, pela noite sem pensar
No que vou dizer em casa, nem satisfações a dar

Penso duas vezes, me convenço que aqui é o meu lugar
Lá fora às vezes chove, e é quase certo que eu vou querer voltar
A noite é sempre fria quando não se tem um teto com amor
E esse amor eu tenho mas esqueço às vezes de lhe dar valor

Tudo tem seu tempo, e uma vida inteira eu tenho pra viver
E nessa vida é necessário a gente procurar compreender
Coisas que aborrecem acontecem muitas vezes por amor
E esse amor eu tenho esquecido às vezes de lhe dar valor

Yours Is No Disgrace


Yours Is No Disgrace
Composer(s): Jon Anderson; Chris Squire;
Steve Howe; Tony Kaye; Bill Bruford
Performer(s): Yes



Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place
If the summer changed to winter, yours is no disgrace

Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are
Shining, flying, purple wolfhound, show me where you are
Lost in summer, born in winter, travel very far
Lost in losing circumstances, that's just where you are

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place
If the summer changed to winter, yours is no
Yours is no disgrace
Yours is no disgrace
Yours is no disgrace

Death defying, mutilated armies scatter the earth
Crawling out of dirty holes, their morals, their morals disappear

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human, silly human race
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place
If the summer changed to winter, yours is no
Yours is no disgrace
Yours is no disgrace
Yours is no disgrace

A Hymn To Him


A Hymn To Him
((Dutch Version: Een Loflied Op Hem (Wim Sonneveld))
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Rex Harrison
and multiple other artists



Women are irrational, that's all there is to that!
There heads are full of cotton, hay, and rags!
They're nothing but exasperating, irritating vacillating, calculating, agitating
Maddening and infuriating hats!

Why can't a woman be more like a man?
Men are so honest, so thoroughly square
Eternally noble, historic'ly fair
Who, when you win, will always give your back a pat
Why can't a woman be like that?

Why does ev'ryone do what the others do?
Can't a woman learn to use her head?
Why do they do ev'rything their mothers do?
Why don't they grow up like their father instead?
Why can't a woman take after a man?

Men are so pleasant, so easy to please
Whenever you're with them, you're always at ease
Would you be slighted if I didn't speak for hours?
Would you be livid if I had a drink or two?
Would you be wounded if I never sent you flowers?
Why can't a woman be like you?

One man in a million may shout a bit
Now and then there's one with slight defects
One, perhaps, whose truthfulness you doubt a bit
But by and large we are a marvelous sex!

Why can't a woman behave like a man?
Men are so friendly, good natured and kind
A better companion you never will find
If I were hours late for dinner, would you bellow?
If I forgot your silly birthday, would you fuss?
Would you complain if I took out another fellow?
Why can't a woman be like us?

Why can't a woman be more like a man?
Men are so decent, such regular chaps
Ready to help you through any mishaps
Ready to buck you up whenever you are glum
Why can't a woman be a chum?

Why is thinking something women never do?
Why is logic never even tried?
Straight'ning up their hair is all they ever do
Why don't they straighten up the mess that's inside?
Why can't a woman be more like a man?

If I were a woman who'd been to a ball
Been hailed as a princess by one and by all
Would I start weeping like a bathtub over flowing?
And carry on as if my home were in a tree?
Would I run off and never tell me where I'm going?
Why can't a woman be like me?

Yours And Mine


Yours And Mine
Composer(s): Arthur Freed; Nacio Herb Brown
Performer(s): Judy Garland;
and various other artists



Love can come along in the strangest ways
It looks at a lucky couple and sets their hearts ablaze
I can feel that fire in my happy heart
For we are the lucky couple look what we have for a start

The stars that shine are Yours and Mine
The rainbows in the sky are Yours and Mine
The song of springtime the lullaby of fall
The sunshine of summertime belongs to us all

The moon above is Yours and Mine
The right to fall in love is Yours and Mine
The hope of finding the dream our hearts design
All this is yours and mine

Composer(s): Victor Young - Ned Washington - Joseph Young
First performance/First recording by: Katherine Perry - 1933/Peggy Lee - 1947
Covered by multiple other artists



Don't save your kisses just pass them around
You'll find my reason is logically sound
Who's gonna know that you passed them around
A hundred years from today

Why crave a penthouse that's fit for a queen
You're nearer heaven on mother earth's green
If you had millions what would they all mean
A hundred years from today

So laugh and sing
Make love the thing
Be happy while you may
There's always one
Beneath the sun who's bound to make you feel that way

The moon is shining and that's a good sign
Cling to me closer and say you'll be mine
Remember darling we won't see it shine
A hundred years from today
A hundred years from today

The moon is shining and that's a good sign
Cling to me closer and say you'll be mine
Remember darling we won't see it shine
A hundred years from today
A hundred years from today

Spanish Title: Quiereme Mucho
Composer(s): Gonzalo Roig; Augustin Rodriguez; Jack Sherr
Performer(s): Dinah Shore;
and various other artists



Yours till the stars lose their glory
Yours till the birds fail to sing
Yours to the end of life's story
This pledge to you, dear, I bring

Yours in the grey of December
Here, or on far distant shores
I've never loved anyone the way I love you
How could I, when I was born to be just yours

This night has music, the sweetest music
It echoes somewhere within my heart
I hold you near me, so, darling, hear me
I have a message I must impart

Yours till the stars lose their glory
Yours till the birds fail to sing
Yours to the end of life's story
This pledge to you, dear, I bring

Yours in the grey of December
Here, or on far distant shores
I've never loved anyone the way I love you
How could I when I was born to be just yours
Just yours
When I was born to be just yours

He took a hundred pounds of clay
And they He said "Hey, listen,
I'm gonna fix this-a world today
Because I know what's missin'"
Then He rolled his big sleeves up
And a brand-new world began
He created a woman and-a lots of lovin' for a man
Whoa-oh-oh, yes he did

With just a hundred pounds of clay
He made my life worth livin'
And I will thank Him every day
For every kiss you're givin'
And I'll thank Him every night
For the arms that are holdin' me tight
And He did it all with just a hundred pounds of clay
Yes he did, whoa-oh, yes He did

Now can'tcha just see Him a-walkin' 'round and 'round
Pickin' the clay uppa off the ground?
Doin' just what He should do
To make a livin' dream like you
He rolled His big sleeves up
And a brand-new world began
He created a woman and-a lots of lovin' for a man
Whoa-oh-oh, yes he did

With just a hundred pounds of clay
People, let me tall ya what He did
With just a hundred pounds of clay ...
