Isabelle
(Italian Version: Isabella)
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Depuis longtemps mon cœur
Etait à la retraite
Et ne pensait jamais
Devoir se réveiller
Mais au son de ta voix
J'ai relevé la tête
Et l'amour m'a repris
Avant que d'y penser
Isabelle Isabelle Isabelle Isabelle
Isabelle Isabelle Isabelle mon amour
Comme on passe le doigt
Entre l'arbre et l'écorce
L'amour s'est infiltré
S'est glissé sous ma peau
Avec tant d'insistance
Et avec tant de force
Que je n'ai plus depuis
Ni calme ni repos
Isabelle Isabelle Isabelle Isabelle
Isabelle Isabelle Isabelle mon amour
Les heures près de toi
Fuient comme des secondes
Les journées loin de toi
Ressemblent à des années
Qui donnent à mon amour
Un goût de fin du monde
Elles troublent mon corps
Autant que ma pensée
Isabelle Isabelle Isabelle Isabelle
Isabelle Isabelle Isabelle mon amour
Tu vis dans la lumière
Et moi dans les coins sombres
Car tu te meurs de vivre
Et je me meurs d'amour
Je me contenterais
De caresser ton ombre
Si tu voulais m'offrir
Ton destin pour toujours
Isabelle Isabelle Isabelle Isabelle
Isabelle Isabelle Isabelle mon amour

Night Lights
Night Lights
Composer(s): Sammy Gallop; Chester Conn
Performer(s): Nat "King" Cole;
Gene Ammons; Bobby Scott
Night lights, those blues-in-the-night lights
Are no longer bright lights since I'm without you
Sweet dreams, oh where did they fly to?
You're gone and who can I cry to?
Those night lights remind me of bright eyes
And beautiful white lies too good to be true
As I go on my way with all my heart I pray
That those night lights will lead me to you
Those night lights remind me of bright eyes
And beautiful white lies too good to be true
As I go on my way with all my heart I pray
That those night lights will lead me to you

Isabella
Isabella
(French Version: Isabelle)
Composer(s): Georges Calabrese; Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Da tempo ormai avevo il cuore in pace
Che ero convinto che non si svegliasse più
Ma mi risollevai, sentendo la tua voce
Ti amavo prima che ci riflettessi sù
Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle
Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle
Conquistatore che ignora la clemenza
L'amore ha messo già radici in fondo a me
Distrutto le mie idee, presa la mia esistenza
E la calma oramai, che non so più cos'è
Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle
Isabelle, Isabelle
Un'ora accanto a te trascorre in un secondo
Un giorno senza te dura un'eternità
E io vivo così, quasi fuori del tempo
Tra spazi di follia e di lucidità
Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle
No basta, Isabelle, oh, Isabelle
Mon amour
Tu corri nella luce ed io resto nell'ombra
Tu pazza per la vita ed io pazzo di te
E mi accontenterò di amare la tua onbra
Se il tuo destino vuoi dividere con me
Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle
Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle, mon amour..

Night Life
Composer(s): Willie Nelson; Walter Breeland; Paul Buskirk
Performer(s): Willie Nelson;
and various other artists
When the evenin' sun goes down
You will find me hangin' 'round
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Many people just like me
Dreamin' of old used-to-be's
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
Ah, but it's my life
Listen to the blues that they're playin'
Listen what the blues are sayin'
(Instrumental Break)
Life is just another scene
In this old world of broken dreams
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Oh, but it's my life
Yeah, it's my life

Isaac & Abraham
Isaac & Abraham
Composer(s): Joan Baez; Wally Wilson; Kenny Greenberg
Performer(s): Joan Baez
Hard times, hard times in Canaan land
Trouble in the mind of a man
A voice came whispering softly to him
Go offer, offer up the lamb
Abraham took his only son
High up on a hill
His test of faith had finally come
As the wind, the wind begin to chill
Cold steel, cold steel in the father's hand
Tears falling from the sky
The angels, the angels did not understand
Why the righteous, the righteous boy should die
Then Abraham most mysteriously
Laid down that deadly knife
Said "My darlin' son, I wish I was the one
Who spared you, spared your precious life"
Oh Isaac
The light of all your days
Will shine upon this mountain high
And never, never fade away
And never fade away

Night In Tunisia
Night In Tunisia
Composer(s): Dizzy Gillespie; Frank Caparelli
Performer(s): Charlie Parker & Miles Davis
The moon is the same moon above you
Aglow with its cool evening light
But shining at night, in Tunisia
Never does it shine so bright
The stars are aglow in the heavens
But only the wise understand
That shining at night in Tunisia
They guide you through the desert sand
Words fail, to tell a tale
Too exotic to be told
Each night's a deeper night
In a world, ages old
The cares of the day seem to vanish
The ending of day brings release
Each wonderful night in Tunisia
Where the nights are filled with peace
(bridge)
(scat)
{Repeat all twice}
(scat)
Each wonderful night in Tunisia

Night In My Veins
Night In My Veins
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde; Tom Kelly; Billy Steinberg
Performer(s): The Pretenders
I see him standing silhouetted in the lamp light
I cross the street and I quicken my pace
He cups his hands and he lights a cigarette
I find myself in the bones of his face
It's just the night in my veins
Oh, making me crawl in the dust again
It's just the night under my skin, slipping it in
He's got his hands in my hair and his lips everywhere
Oh yeah, it feels good, it's alright
Even if it's just the night in my veins
He's got me up against the back of a pickup truck
Out of sight of the neon and glare
We might as well be on a beach under the moonlight
Love's language reads the same anywhere yeah
It's just the night in my veins
Oh, making me crawl in the dust again
It's just the night under my skin, slipping it in
He's got his chest on my back across a new Cadillac
Oh yeah, it feels good, it's alright
Even if it's just a night in my veins
I've got my head on the curb and I can't produce a word
Oh yeah, feels good, so right
Even if it's just a night in my veins
Feels good, so right
Even if it's just the night in my veins

Is You Is or Is You Ain't (Ma' Baby)
Composer(s): Bill Austin; Louis Jordan
First recording/First release by: Louis Jordan – 1943/1944
Covered by multiple other artists
I got a gal who's always late
Any time we have a date
But I love her
Yes I love her
I'm gonna walk right up to her gate
And see if I can get it straight
‘Cause I want her
I'm gonna ask her
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Way you're acting lately makes me doubt
Youse is still my baby, baby
Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out
A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of what you'll find
She's gone and made a change
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby true
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby true

Night Game
Night Game
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon; Sam Yahel
There were two men down
And the score was tied
In the bottom of the eighth
When the pitcher died
And they laid his spikes
On the pitcher's mound
And his uni-form was torn
And his number was left on the ground
Then the night turned cold
Colder than the moon
The stars were white as bones
The stadium was old
Older than the screams
Older than the teams
There were three men down
And the season lost
And the tarpaulin was rolled
Upon the winter frost

Is This Love
Is This Love
Composer(s): David Coverdale; John Sykes
Performer(s): Whitesnake
and multiple other artists
I should have known better
Than to let you go alone
It’s times like these
I can’t make it on my own
Wasted days, and sleepless nights
And I can’t wait to see you again
I find I spend my time
Waiting on your call
How can I tell you, baby
My back’s against the wall
I need you by my side
To tell me it’s alright
’cos I don’t think I can take anymore
Is this love that I’m feeling
Is this the love, that I’ve been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
This must be love
’cos it’s really got a hold on me
A hold on me...
I can’t stop the feeling
I’ve been this way before
But, with you I’ve found the key
To open any door
I can feel my love for you
Growing stronger day by day
An’ I can’t wait to see you again
So I can hold you in my arms
Is this love that I’m feeling
Is this the love, that I’ve been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
This must be love
’cos it’s really got a hold on me
A hold on me...
Is this love that I’m feeling
Is this the love, that I’ve been searching for...
Is this love or am I dreaming
Is this the love, that I’ve been searching for...

Night Full Of Voices
Night Full Of Voices
Composer(s): Colin Blunstone; Stuart Elliott
Performer(s): Keats
I couldn't say for sure
At first it was just the softest sound
I wouldn't say I saw
But I could feel it all around me
I heard the night full of voices
Telling me:
"Don't surrender
It doesn't end here!"
The night's full of voices
Falling free
Once you've heard them
You will remember
I never said before
I knew that no one would believe
I don't care anymore
If you think I want to deceive you
I hear the night full of voices
Calling me
"Beware, the changes
Have hidden dangers!"

Composer(s): Maurice Abrahams; Lew Brown; Edgar Leslie
Performer(s): Henry Burr & Albert Campbell
Hello there long distance, please don't make me wait in vain
I asked you to connect me with a homestead down in Maine
I hate to hold the wire, don't get mad if I complain
I long to hear my sweetheart's voice again
Oh, hello dear, yes, this is me, I'm many miles away
I'm lonesome and I just called up to say
Is there still room for me
'Neath the old apple tree
Where there once was a bench for two
Oh, that bench wasn't long
And you know it wasn't strong
When I sat there with you
I've got fare back to Maine
And I'll jump on a train
If your heart beats as fond and as true
Is there still room for me
'Neath the old apple tree
If there is I'll come back to you
Listen operator, what's the matter with this phone
It seems to me you never had a sweetheart of your own
You say there's wire trouble and you've got the numbers mixed
Well, hurry up and get the wires fixed
Is that you dear? Yes I can hear, they cut us off somehow
I'm waiting and I want your asnwer now
Is there still room for me
'Neath the old apple tree
Where there once was a bench for two
Oh, that bench wasn't long
And you know it wasn't strong
When I sat there with you
I've got fare back to Maine
And I'll jump on a train
If your heart beats as fond and as true
Is there still room for me
'Neath the old apple tree
If there is I'll come back to you

Night Flight (Led Zeppelin)
Night Flight
Composer(s): John Paul Jones; Jimmy Page; Robert Plant
Performer(s): Led Zeppelin; Jeff Buckley
I received a message from my brother across the water
He sat laughin' as he wrote the end's in sight
So I said goodbye to all my friends
And packed my hopes inside a matchbox
'Cause I know it's time to fly
Come on, meet me in the morning, meet me in the middle of the night
The morning light is comin', don't it make you wanna go and feel alright?
I just jumped a train that never stops
So know somehow they'll know I never finished payin' for my ride
Just n' someone pushed a gun into my hand
Tell me I'm the type of man to fight the fight that I'll require
Come on, meet me in the morning, meet me in the middle of the night
The morning light is comin', don't it make you wanna go and feel alright?
Oh, mama, well I think it's time I'm leavin'
Nothin' here to make me stay
Whoa, mama, well it must be time I'm goin'
They're knockin' down them doors
They're tryin' to take me away
Please Mr. Brakeman, won't you ring your bell, and ring loud and clear?
Please Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell?
Tell the people they got to fly away from here
I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby
Suddenly they have a very, very special smile
We are in the middle of a change in destination
When the train stops, all together we will smile
Oh, meet me in the morning
Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night
Everybody know the mornin' time is comin'
Don't it make you wanna feel alright, ah, ah, yeah
Make me feel alright, fly now, baby
Get to fly, yeah, fly now, baby

Is There Something I Should Know?

First release by: Duran Duran - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists
I made a run, I run out yesterday
Tried to find my mountain hideaway
maybe next year, maybe no go
I know you're watching me every minute of the day, yeah
I've seen the signs and the looks and pictures
That give your game away, yeah
There's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
and I cut so far before I had to say
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show
People stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind, can you see in the snow
and fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Please, please tell me now
Can you see what makes me blow?
Can you see how much I die?
Every time it passes by
Please, please tell me now
What it takes to make you show
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?

Night Flight (Justin Hayward)
Night Flight
Composer(s): Jeff Wayne; Paul Vigrass
Performer(s): Justin Hayward
We were two lonely travelers
In the sky that night
Two lonely travelers, high flying
Alone in the night on an endless flight
Killing time with polite conversation
Killing time in your shy hesitating way
Killing time, killing my isolation
Two lonely travelers breaking ice
By opening up a few old back pages
We were two golden eagles in the sky today
Two golden eagles high flying
Who swept through the air
To a secret lair
Flying free slowly wheeling and gliding
Flying free on the sea and the high plateau
Flying free on the breeze without trying
Two lonely travelers breaking ice
By opening up a few old back pages
And letting secrets out of their cages
But wanting to remain perfect strangers
'Cos I was on a night flight
Floating above the world
Yes it was the moonlight
Painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds
High above the world
Yes I was on a night flight
Lost in a different world
I can see the starlight
Silver a gypsy girl
High above the clouds
High above the world
We were two lonely travelers
In the sky that night
Two lonely travelers, high flying
Alone in the night on an endless flight
Killing time with polite conversation
Killing time in your shy hesitating way
Killing time, killing my isolation
Two lonely travelers breaking ice
By opening up a few old back pages
And letting secrets out of their cages
But wanting to remain perfect strangers
'Cos I was on a night flight
Floating above the world
Yes it was the moonlight
Painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds
High above the world
Yes I was on a night flight
Lost in a different world
I can see the starlight
Silver a gypsy girl
High above the clouds
High above the world
Yes I was on a night flight
Floating above the world
Yes it was the moonlight
Painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds
High above the world
Yes I was on a night flight
Floating above the world
Yes it was the moonlight
Painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds
High above the world
Yes I was on a night flight

Is That All There Is?
Is That All There Is?
(French Version: Si Ce N'est Que Ça - 1973)
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller
Performer(s): Leslie Uggams - 1968
and multiple other artists
I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire
I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up
in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames
And when it was all over I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a fire"
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to a circus, the greatest show on earth
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
And so I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what, but when it was over
I said to myself, "is that all there is to a circus?
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
Then I fell in love, head over heels in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world
We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
We were so very much in love
Then one day he went away and I thought I'd die, but I didn't
and when I didn't I said to myself, "is that all there is to love?"
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
I know what you must be saying to yourselves
if that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?
Oh, no, not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment
for I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you
when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my lst breath, I'll be saying to myself
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

Listen to the ground
There is movement all around
There is something goin' down
And I can feel it

Gimme that night fever, night fever
