Love Will Keep Us Alive


Love Will Keep Us Alive
Composer(s): Jim Capaldi - Paul Carrack - Peter Vale
Performer(s): Eagles
and multiple other artists



I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you given me the will to survive
When we're hungry ... love will keep us alive

Don't you worry
Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry ... love will keep us alive

I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do

Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry ... love will keep us alive

I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do

I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you given me the will to survive
When we're hungry ... love will keep us alive
When we're hungry ... love will keep us alive
When we're hungry ... love will keep us alive

Mon Alezan


Mon Alezan
Composer(s): Maurice Vallet; Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



Mon alezan
Tout en blanc et couvert d'ailes
Bien trop frêles
Mon alezan
Tout en blanc, cheval volant
Qui s'éléve
Qui s'éléve
Sur les grèves
Sur les grèves
Comme un rêve
Sur tes lèvres...

Mon alezan
Mon alezan
Cheval volant
Evadé
Du sable blanc
D'un été
Dès demain
T'emportera
Jusqu'à l'orient

Mon alezan
Tout en blanc et bien plus fier
Qu'Artaban
Mon alezan
Tout en blanc, a vraiment l'air
Plus sauvage, plus sauvage
Qu'un nuage
Qu'un nuage
Dans l'azur
Pas trés pur

Mon alezan
Mon alezan
Cheval volant
Evadé
Du sable blanc
D'un été
Dès demain
T'emportera
Jusqu'à l'orient

Mon alezan
Tout en blanc, est aussi calme
Que ton âme
Mon alezan
Tout en blanc a le cœur bien
Plus fragile
Plus fragile
Qu'un sourire
Qu'un sourire
Accroché
Dans tes cils

Mon alezan
Mon alezan
Cheval volant
Evadé
Du sable blanc
D'un été
Dès demain
T'emportera
Jusqu'à l'orient

Geometriquement Tien


Geometriquement Tien
Composer(s): Léo Ferré
Performer(s): Léo Ferré



Ton corps est comme un vase clos
J'y pressens parfois une jarre
Comme engloutie au fond des eaux
Et qui attend des nageurs rares
Tes bijoux ton blé ton vouloir
Le plan de tes folles prairies
Mon squale qui viendra te voir
Du fond de moi si tu l'en pries

Un herbe douce comme un lit
Un lit de taffetas de carne
Une source dans le midi
Quand l'ombre glisse et me décharne
Un sentiment de rémission
Devant ta violette de Parme
Me voilà soumis comme un pion
Sur l'échiquier que ta main charme

Mon organe qui fait ta voix
Mon pardessus sur ta bronchite
Mon alphabet pour que tu croies
Que je suis là quand je te quitte
Ma symphonie dans ton jardin
La mer dans ta rivière close
L'aigre parfum de mon destin
Sur le delta d'où fuit ta rose

L'odeur canaille de ta peau
Tendue comme un arc vers sa cible
Quand pointe de mes oripeaux
Le point de mire inaccessible
Du feu pour le bel incendie
Que j'allumerai à ta forge
Cette nuit puisque tu me dis
Que ça te remonte à la gorge

Et moi qui ne suis pas régent
De tes propriétés câlines
J'irai comme l'apôtre Jean
Dormir un peu sur ta poitrine
J'y verrai des oiseaux de nuit
Et leurs géométriques ailes
Ne pourront dessiner l'ennui
Dont se meurent les parallèles

Love Will Find A Way (Sam Cooke)


Love Will Find A Way
Composer(s): Sam Cooke
Performer(s): Sam Cooke



(If love wants to travel to your heart, love will find a way)

I tell you, no, no mountain is too high and no peak too high to climb
And no, no place is too remote for true love to find
I know no, no river is too wide, no matter what people say
Lord, if love wants to travel to your heart, love will find a way

Oh the mountains, oh the valleys, oh the streams love would climb
Seekin' a place in your heart
If there are two people love wants to combine
Nothin' can keep them apart

I know that no, no river is too wide, no matter what people say
If love wants to travel to your heart, love will find a way
I know that if love wants to travel to your heart, love will find a way

Mon Aéroplane


Mon Aéroplane
Performer(s): France Gall



Non Charlie
Ne me fais plus attendre encore
Viens vite à la maison
Aujourd'hui
Je crois que c'est toi le plus fort
Pour les réparations
Je t'en supplie...

Mon aéroplane...
Depuis ton départ est en panne...
Et pour toucher le ciel je n'ai plus, je n'ai plus
Que des nuages artificiels
Mon aéroplane...
Depuis ton départ est en panne...
Et pour toucher le ciel j'ai besoin, j'ai besoin
Que tu me prêtes tes ailes

Il y aura
Du thé de Chine et du réglisse
Et puis du chocolat
Tu verras
Nous irons plus au quai jadis
Mais viens vite chez moi
Je t'en supplie...

Mon aéroplane...
Depuis ton départ est en panne...
Et pour toucher le ciel je n'ai plus, je n'ai plus
Que des nuages artificiels
Mon aéroplane...
Depuis ton départ est en panne...
Et pour toucher le ciel j'ai besoin, j'ai besoin
Que tu me prêtes tes ailes
Mon aéroplane...
Depuis ton départ est en panne...
Et pour toucher le ciel j'ai besoin, j'ai besoin
Que tu me prêtes tes ailes

Genuine Imitation Life


Genuine Imitation Life
Performer(s): Harry Belafonte; Chad Mitchell



Chameleon changing colors-while a crocodile cries
People rubbing elbows but never touching eyes
Talking off their marks, revealing still another guise
Genuine imitation life

People buying happiness and manufactured fun
Everybody doing what everybody’s done
People count on people who can only count to one
Genuine imitation life

All the pretty clouds are a lovely shade of black
You find the night direction, someone tears up all the track
People worship crosses, fingers cross behind their back
Genuine imitation life
Genuine imitation life

Old friends get together but it’s solitaire they play
Everybody’s rainbow done in different shades of gray
It’s a lovely place to visit but I wouldn’t want to stay
In a genuine imitation life
Genuine imitation life
Genuine imitation life

Love Will Find A Way (Pablo Cruise)


Love Will Find A Way
Composer(s): David Jenkins - Cory Lerios
Performer(s): Pablo Cruise



Someone, someone's got me wrong
You thought that your love was strong
Now you're feelin' like such a fool
Poor you, you're thinkin' maybe if you said goodbye
You'll understand the reason why
The love you had felt so cool um hm

Oh but it's all right
Once you get past the pain
You'll learn to find your love again
So keep your heart open
'Cause love will find a way

Sometimes we all feel a need to change
Our love we have to rearrange
And move on to something new yes you do
Your dreams feel like they're fallin' apart
You need to find a brand new start
But you're almost afraid to be true to yourself

Oh, but it's all right
Once you get past the pain
You'll learn to find your love again
So keep your heart open
'Cause love will find a way

Love will find a way
Love will find a way

So now don't, don't be afraid of yourself
Just move on to something else
And let your love shine thru
Again yes 'cause it's all right
Once you get past the pain
You'll learn to find your love again
So keep your heart open
'Cause love will find a way

She's just her Mammy and Daddy's little girl

Gentleman Cambrioleur


Gentleman Cambrioleur
Performer(s): Jacques Dutronc



C'est le plus grand des voleurs
Oui, mais c'est un gentleman
Il s'empar' de vos valeurs
Sans vous menacer d'une arm'
Quand il détrouss' une femm'
Il lui fait porter des fleurs
Gentleman cambrioleur
Est un grand seigneur
Il viens chez vous la nuit
Sans déranger votre sommeil
Il décroche sans bruit
Le tableau acheté la veill'
Puis avant de partir
Après ses coupables travaux
Il laisse un mot sur le piano

C'est le plus grand des voleurs
Oui, mais c'est un gentleman
Et chaque femme à son heure
Rêve de voir son visag'
De l'actrice à la danceuse
Et l'épouse la meilleur'
Gentleman cambrioleur
A gagné le cœur

Love Will Conquer All


Love Will Conquer All
Composer(s): Cynthia Weil - Greg Phillinganes - Lionel Richie
Performer(s): Lionel Richie
and multiple other artists



Here we are
Out here me and you
Reaching out each other
Is all that we can do

Here we stand
Trying not to fall
There's no need to worry
Love will conquer all

Do you really want to know
Just how long love will last
Will all of the bad times pass
How can we make things right

Ooh and why
Why is the world so unkind,
We surely can find peace of mind
If we only see the light, can't we that

Here we are
Out here me and you
Reaching out each other
Is all that we can do

Ooh here we stand
Trying not to fall
There's no need to worry
Love will conquer all

Can somebody tell me why
Why do our dreams go wrong
Why can't we all belong
Ooh, where do we start
Oh and tell me when
When will we ever learn
There's nowhere else we can turn
The truth is in our hearts, here we are together
Sometimes the road gets hard to travel
Sometimes the pains too much to bear
Sometimes when life seems to unravel
That's the time oh - to say
We're gonna make it anyway
Can't we see that

Here we are
Out here me and you
Reaching out each other
Is all that we can do

Here we stand
Trying not to fall
There's no need to worry
Love will conquer all ...

Moments To Remember


Moments To Remember
Composer(s): Robert Allen; Al Stillman
Originally performed by: The Four Lads



January to December, we'll have moments to remember

The New Year's Eve we did the town
The day we tore the goal post down
We'll have these moments to remember

The quiet walks, the noisy fun
The ballroom prize we almost won
We will have these moments to remember

Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years

When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember

The drive in movie where we'd go
And somehow never watched the show
We will have these moments to remember

When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember

The drive in movie where we'd go
And somehow never watched the show
We will have these moments to remember

Gentle On My Mind


Gentle On My Mind
Composer(s): John Hartford
Performer(s): Glen Campbell;
and various other artists



It's knowin' that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you in the backroads by the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted
On their columns now that binds me
Or something that somebody said because they thought
We fit together walkin'
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving
When I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're moving on the backroads by the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman crying to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face
And a summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of soup, back from the gurgling cracklin' cauldron
In some train yard
My beard a roughning coal pile and a dirty hat
Pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
I pretend I hold you to my breast and find
That you're waving from the backroads by the rivers of my memory
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind

Love Was Right Here All The Time


Love Was Right Here All The Time
Composer(s): Bill Henson - Charles Snoody
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb & Loretta Lynn



I overlooked a love I couldn't see
Until that day you walked away from me
That's what it took for this poor fool to find
That your sweet love was right here all the time

When we broke up I started searchin' too
For our love hid from me as well as you
How could I be so foolish and so blind
When your true love was right here all the time

Right here was love when neither one expected it to be
Right here was love before our eyes that neither one could see
We'll let the world go by dear we won't mind
For our true love was right here all the time

Ah play it pretty Leon

Right here was love when neither one expected it to be
Right here was love before our eyes that neither one could see
We'll let the world go by dear we won't mind
For our true love was right here all the time

Moments Like This


Moments Like This
Composer(s): Burton Lane; Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Dean Martin
and various other artists



Moments like this make me thrill through and through
Careless moments like this close to you
Nonchalantly we'd dine and we'd dance
Yet my heart seems to melt in your grace

Sweet moments like this with the soft lights aglow
Make me long for your kiss though I know
I'd be just one of all your affairs
But at moments like this, who cares

I'd be just one of all your affairs
But at moments like this, who cares

Gente Sin Swing


Gente Sin Swing
Composer(s): Fito Paez
Performer(s): Fito Paez



Gente sin swing
como canciones
Gente sin Swing
Lejos del borde
Como un radar (ciego, sordo, mudo)
Sin direcciones
Cómo serán sus corazones

Gente sin Swing
Como ratones
Gente sin swing
Mundo sin soles
Son un poder, como naciones
Siempre estarán hasta que exploten
Y aunque te inviten a su mesa
No estarán de tu lado

Gente sin swing
Prometedores
Gente sin swing
son como halcones
Pueden fingir hasta que llores
Pero mi amor, son impostores
Y aunque te inviten su mesa,
no estarán de tu lado
Y aunque lo juren y prometan,
no estarán de tu lado

Gente sin Swing

Love Walks In


Love Walks In
Composer(s): Edward Van Halen - Sammy Hagar - Michael Anthony - Alex Van Halen
Performer(s): Van Halen



Contact is all that it takes
To change your life, to lose your place in time
Contact
Asleep or awake
Coming around you may wake up to find

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Questions deep within your eyes
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Now more than ever, you realize
(Ooo-ooo)

And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string

Another world, some other time
You lay your sanity on the line
Familiar faces, familiar sights
Reach back, remember with all your might

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Ooh, and there she stands in a silken gown
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Silver lights shinin' down
(Ooo-ooo)

And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string
Love comes walkin' in
Oh, sleep and dream; that's all I crave
I travel far across the milky way
To my master I become a slave
'Til we meet again some other day

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Where silence speaks as loud as war
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Earth returns to what it was before
(Ooo-ooo)

And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string
Love comes walkin' in

Love comes walkin' in
Baby, pull the string
Love comes walkin' in
Love comes walkin' in, yea

Moments


Moments
Composer(s): Boz Scaggs
Performer(s): Boz Scaggs



Was it for a moment’s pleasure
That brought me to your door
Was it for your darkest treasure
Or could I have loved you more

Did I take the time to tell you
I'd seen you once before
You were standing in my garden
And I was on the floor

I came around that evening
I came around that fall
My heart went out that evening
Never came back at all

And so I came to know you
As keeper of my heart
It saw me search, and saw you
You showed me from the start

Time and again I’ve held you near me
I wonder if you’ve ever known
How I hold you near me
Is not exactly shown

I'm coming around to know you
I've come to find my place
And someone there to go to
It’s come to be my fate

Like a fire holds its heating
Like a winter holds its cold
Like a question holds its answer
That’s the way you hold me

Came around that evening
Came around that fall
My heart went out that evening
Never came back at all

Coming around to know you
I've come to find my place

Gente Humilde


Gente Humilde
Composer(s): Chico Buarque;
Vinícius de Moraes; Garoto
Performer(s): Chico Buarque;
and various other artists



Tem certos dias
Em que eu penso em minha gente
E sinto assim
Todo o meu peito se apertar
Porque parece
Que acontece de repente
Feito um desejo de eu viver
Sem me notar
Igual a como
Quando eu passo no subúrbio
Eu muito bem
Vindo de trem de algum lugar
E aí me dá
Como uma inveja dessa gente
Que vai em frente
Sem nem ter com quem contar

São casas simples
Com cadeiras na calçada
E na fachada
Escrito em cima que é um lar
Pela varanda
Flores tristes e baldias
Como a alegria
Que não tem onde encostar
E aí me dá uma tristeza
No meu peito
Feito um despeito
De eu não ter como lutar
E eu que não creio
Peço a Deus por minha gente
É gente humilde
Que vontade de chorar

Love Walked In


Love Walked In
((Dutch Version: Kom Binnen (Greetje Kauffeld) - 1997))
Composer(s): George Gershwin - Ira Gershwin
First performance by: Kenny Baker - 1938
Covered by multiple other artists



Love walked right in
and drove the shadows away
Love walked right in
and brought my sunniest day
One magic moment
and my heart seemed to know - that love said hello
Though not a word was spoken
One look, and I'd forgot
the gloom of the past
One look, and I had found
my future at last
One look, and I had found
a world completely new
When love walked in with you

Momenti Si, Momenti No


Momenti Si, Momenti No ((English & French Versions: The Times We've Known (by Bob Dylan); Les Bons Moments (by Charles Aznavour)) Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Momenti si momenti no, ce ne' di vita tra di noi
Quante follie, quante bugie, cercate insieme
La primavera poi passo', ma non l'interno fuoco in noi
Ed un legame, al di la', il male e il bene
Un giorno in pace un giorno in guerra
Un giorno ricchi un giorno a terra
Che importa a noi bastava che ci fossi io vicino a te
Momenti si momenti no, ma e' coi momenti
Che si fa l'eternita'
Momenti si momenti no, ce ne' di cose tra di noi
Tramonti chiari ed allegrie, vissute insieme
Ragazzi ed incoscenti noi, adulti mai pazienti poi
Il fiume in secca ormai, e le improvvise piene
Sto ricordando se, chi lo sa, se oggi o tanto tempo fa
Chissa' perche' ti voglio qui, tu non ci sei o forse si
Tiriamo i conti e si vedra'
Se eran momenti o se era gia'
L'eternita', l'eternita'
Momenti si, momenti no
