My World Is Slipping Away
My World Is Slipping Away
Composer(s): Neil Sedaka; Howard Greenfield
Performer(s): Connie Francis
I tell myself our love will last
And yet I know it's just the past I'm clingin' to
I kiss the lips I know so well
One little kiss and I can tell you've been untrue
The more I try to reach your heart
The more it seems we drift apart, what can I do
Day by day my world keeps slippin' away
You find it hard to let me go
Because you think that I don't know the way you feel
I know you're tryin' to be kind
But yet it hurts me more to find you so unreal
One little look into your eyes
And I can see a thousand lies that you reveal
Day by day my world keeps slippin' away
The world we knew is almost gone
But I'll, I'll keep holdin' on
I know I'd wish you back again
If we could wander back to when you cared for me
The heartbreak that I'm feelin' now
Would change if you'd remember how it used to be
Please put the world back into place
Without your love I only face a memory
Day by day my world keeps slippin' away
Day by day my world keeps slippin' away

Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry
Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jule Styne
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists
The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom
Now when that twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feels
When I want rain, I get sunny weather
I'm just as blue, blue as the sky
Since love has gone, I can't get myself together
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
My friend ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy
I've got to get a new alibi
I hang around at home, and ask myself: "Where is she?"
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops
Moving on a stream of dreams
My little memories, those precious memories
Remind me of our crazy schemes
Then somebody says, just forget about her
But I gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough, I got along without her
Then one day she passed me right by - oh well
I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

Ce Diable Noir
Ce Diable Noir
((Adapted from: That Old Black Magic (Glenn Miller and His Orch.) - 1942))
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Johnny Mercer - Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
"Ce diable noir
Qui nous prend, nuit et jour
Ce diable noir
A été, fait pour
Faire naître en nous d’étranges sentiments
Et nous plier, à son envoûtement
Sa main glacée vient nous frôler la peau
Allume en nous, une flamme, bientôt
Ce feu roule, roule en nous
Brûle, brûle tout
Comme un enfer
Fait du ciel sur la terre
On voudrait le fuir
Et tout oublier
Il nous pourchasse
Et quoiqu’on fasse
Il reste en nous, ce brûlant désir
Que seul un baiser
Pourrait apaiser
Le corps rompu
Et les membres brisés
Le cœur perdu
Et l’âme intoxiquée
Lorsque nos lèvres s’unissent enfin
Un feu roule, roule en nous
Brûle, brûle tout
Et l’on comprend, dans ce rêve trop court
Que ce diable noir, s’appelle l’Amour"

My World Keeps Getting Smaller Every Day
My World Keeps Getting Smaller Every Day
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Neil Sedaka
Performer(s): Neil Sedaka; Victor Wood
Round and round I go in circles trying to be free
since you went away the world is closing in on me
Every day I face tomorrow knowing you'll be there
I see your face in every little thing we used to share
The memory of you is everywhere
And my world keeps getting smaller every day
I run but I can't run away
you're with me everywhere I go
And I find you're in my heart and in my mind
there's no place left on earth to stay
my world gets smaller every day
In the lonely of the morning when I'm waking up
I find you standing at the bottom of my coffee cup
I see you on the highway when I'm driving in the car
Downtown in the city I just turn and there you are
I run from you but never get too far
And my world keeps getting smaller every day
I run but I can't run away
you're with me everywhere I go
And I find you're in my heart and in my mind
there's no place left on earth to stay
my world gets smaller every day
And my world keeps getting smaller every day
I run but I can't run away
my world gets smaller every day

Guess I Must Have Been In Love With Myself
Guess I Must Have Been In Love With Myself
Composer(s): Pete Shelley
Performer(s): Pete Shelley
Right from the start
I played my part
In this show
What if today
Was yesterday?
Who would know?
Take your time don't worry
There's no need to hurry
Anything can happen given time
Out of the blue
It came to me
What to do
Funny to say
It was that way
Now it's you
Take your time don't worry
There's no need to hurry
Everything can happen given time
You look at me while I'm looking at you
There's nothing in this world that we two couldn't do
I speak of love in a passionate way
Love is emotion what more can I say?
The rate of change is a sign of the times
I have no need to read between the lines
I had no time for anyone else
Guess I must have been in love with myself
Everything's changed
Nothing's the same
As before
Thinking of you
Things that you do
Make me so sure
At the moment I feel like walking through the pouring rain
Once I get my head together nothing will ever be quite the same
You look at me while I'm looking at you
There's nothing in this world that we two couldn't do
I speak of love in a passionate way
Love is emotion what more can I say?
The rate of change is a sign of the times
I have no need to read between the lines
I had no time for anyone else
Guess I must have been in love with myself
Guess I must have been in love with myself
Guess I must have been in love with myself

Umm! Umm!

My honey
Love me to that ever lovin' Spring song melody
Please me, honey, squeeze me to that Mendelssohn strain
Kiss me like you would your mother
One good kiss deserves another
That's the only music that was ever meant for me
That tantalizin,' hypnotizin,' mesmerin' Mendelssohn tune

My World Is Empty Without You
My World Is Empty Without You
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; Brian Holland; Eddie Holland
Originally performed by: The Supremes
Covered by various other artists
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
And as I roam my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strength, I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear, I miss so much
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, baby
You've given me a true love
And every day I thank you, love
For the feeling that's so new
So exciting so inviting
Baby, baby, I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Pushing me closer and closer to your heart
Then suddenly
Your lips are touching mine
A feeling so divine
Til I leave my past behind
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
From this cold world I try to hide my face
But from this loneliness there ain't no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house I dwell
In darkness, in memory I know so well
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
Without you babe
Without you babe...

Guerre
Guerre
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Au nom de la stupidité
Il faut haïr son prochain
Quand la colombe est blessée
La voilà qui revient
Guerre
C'est la guerre
Pour n'importe quoi la guerre
Guerre
C'est la guerre
Et même les dieux font la guerre
Et mourir pour une idée
Sans savoir si on s'est trompé
La guerre n'est qu'une putain
Pour qui l'amour n'est plus rien
Guerre
C'est la guerre
C'est n'importe quand la guerre
Guerre
C'est la guerre
C'est n'importe quoi la guerre
Je déclare une guerre
Sans merci à la guerre
Je m'engage pour me battre
Et faire la guerre contre la guerre
Guerre guerre
Guerre guerre
Guerre guerre
Je ferai la guerre à la guerre
Guerre guerre
Guerre guerre

Je ferai la guerre à la guerre

That Means A Lot
That Means A Lot
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles
and multiple other artists
A friend says that your love
Won't mean a lot
And you know that your love
Is all you've got
At times things are so fine
And at times they're not
But when she says she loves you
That means a lot
A friend says that a love
Is never true
And you know that this
Don't apply on you
A touch can mean so much
When it's all you've got
When she says she loves you
That means a lot
Love can be deep inside
Love can be suicide
Can't you see you can't hide
What you feel when it's real
A friend says that your love
Won't mean a lot
And you know that your love
Is all you've got
A touch can mean so much
When it's all you've got
But when she says she loves you
That means a lot
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah

My Word! You Do Look Queer
My Word! You Do Look Queer
Composer(s): Bob Weston; Bert Lee
Performer(s): Stanley Holloway
I've been very poorly but now I feel prime
I've been out today for the very first time
I felt like a lad as I walked down the road
Then I met Old Jones and he said, 'Well I'm blowed!'
My word you do look queer!
My word you do look queer!
Oh, dear! You look dreadful: you've had a near shave
You look like a man with one foot in the grave'
I said, 'Bosh! l'm better; it's true I've been ill'
He said, 'I'm delighted you're better, but still
I wish you'd a thousand for me in your will
My word, you do look queer!'
That didn't improve me, it quite put me back
Still, I walked farther on, and I met Cousin jack
He looked at me hard and he murmured, 'Gee whiz!
It's like him! It can't be! It isn't! It is!
By gosh! Who'd have thought it? Well, well, I declare!
I'd never have known you except for your hair
My word you do look queer!
My word you do look queer!
Your cheeks are all sunk and your colour's all gone
Your neck's very scraggy, still you're getting on
How old are you now? About fifty, that's true
Your father died that age, your mother did too
Well, the black clothes I wore then'll come in for you
My word! You do look queer!'
That really upset me; I felt quite cast down
But I tried to buck up, and then up came old Brown
He stared at me hard, then he solemnly said
'You shouldn't be out, you should be home in bed
I heard you were bad, well I heard you were gone
You look like a corpse with an overcoat on
'My word you do look queer!
My word you do look queer!
You'd best have a brandy before you drop dead'
So, pale as a sheet, I crawled in the'King's Head'
The barmaid sobbed,'Oh you poor fellow,' and then
She said, 'On the slate you owe just one pound ten
You'd better pay up, we shan't see you again
My word you do look queer!'
My knees started knocking, I did feel so sad
Then Brown said, 'Don't die in a pub, it looks bad'
He said, 'Come with me, I'll show you what to do
Now I've got a friend who'll be useful to you'
He led me to Black's Undertaking Depot
And Black, with some crepe round his hat said, 'Hello
'My word you do look queer!
My word you do look queer!
Now we'll fix you up for a trifling amount
Now what do you say to a bit on account?'
I said, 'I'm not dying
'He said,'Don't say that!
My business of late has been terribly flat
But I'm telling my wife she can have that new hat!
My word, you do look queer!'
I crawled in the street and I murmured, 'I'm done'
Then up came Old Jenkins and shouted, 'By gum!'
'My word you do look well!
My word you do look well!
You're looking fine and in the pink!'
I shouted, 'Am I?... Come and have a drink!
You've put new life in me, I'm sounder than a bell
By gad! There's life in the old dog yet
My word I do feel well!'

That Makes It Tough
Composer(s): Buddy Holly
Performer(s): Buddy Holly; Lazy Cowgirls
Time goes by, I'll still remember you
That makes it tough- Oh so tough
When you tell me you don't love me
That makes it tough- Oh so tough- oh oh oh
When you say you don't care no more
Memories will follow me forever
Though I know my dreams will not come true
All those precious things we shared together
Time goes by I'll still remember you
And that makes it tough- Oh so tough
When you tell me you don't love me
That makes it tough- Oh so tough- oh oh oh
When you say you don't care no more

That lucky fellow, who gets you
Who knows you love him, and lets you

But with each long day behind him
The failing sunlight will find him
Back in your arms, where he wants to be
How I'd want those arms, if I were he
That lucky lady who gets you
Who knows you love her, and lets you
Oh, how she'll laugh when you play the clown
Oh, how she'll mope while he works in town
But with each long day behind her
The failing sunlight will find her
Back in your arms, where she wants to be
How I'd want those arms, if I were she

Child Of Peace
Child Of Peace
Composer(s): Bob Farrell
Performer(s): Sandi Patti
On a night of promise long ago
When a star announced the light of hope
To a world that knew no peace before
The holy child of peace was born
But he stirred their longings deep within
For his kingdom knew no end
From a place eternal high above
The wondrous child of peace had come
Child of comfort, child of light
Hope that drowns away the night
Touch our lives from heaven above
Oh child of peace, we need your love
In a world where peace eludes us still
Where the heart exerts its will
At a time when words are not enough
Oh child of peace we need your love
Oh man of peace we need your love
God who only knows our need
Come to us, oh child of peace
