Till The Lights Of London Shine Again


Till The Lights Of London Shine Again
Composer(s): Thomas Connor - Edward Pola
Performer(s): Lew Stone
and multiple other artists



For a while we must part
But remember me sweetheart
Till the lights of London shine again

And while I'm over there
Think of me in every prayer
Till the lights of London shine again

I'll keep your picture near me
A tender souvenir
Now hold me close and kiss me
And may God bless you dear

Don't you cry when I'm gone
Wear a smile and carry on
Till the lights of London shine again

I Almost Lost My Mind


I Almost Lost My Mind
Composer(s): Ivory Joe Hunter
First release by: Ivory Joe Hunter - 1949
Covered by multiple other artists



When I lost my baby (baby)
I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby (baby)
I almost lost my mind
My head is in a spin since she's left me behind

I went to see the gypsy
And had my fortune read
I went to see the gypsy
And had my fortune read
I hung my head in sorrow when she said what she said

Well, I can tell you, people (people)
The news was not so good
Well, I can tell you, people (people)
The news was not so good
She said "Your baby's left you"
"This time she's gone for good" (gone for good)

Bah-ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh-ooh

Je Ne Vois Que Toi


Je Ne Vois Que Toi
Composer(s): Brien; Weisman; Westlake
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan



Je ne vois que toi
Parmi tous ces gens
Qui se moquent éperdument
Que tu m'aies quitté
Je ne vois que toi
Et cette fille-là
Celle qui dans avec toi
Et qui m'a remplacée..
Oui je vous vois
Chaque fois que vous dansez
Chaque fois que vous riez
Chaque fois que vous passez
Là devant moi
Chaque moi moi je me dis
Que toi et moi c'est bien fini
Et il vaut mieux que je t'oublie
Mais moi je ne peux pas
Non moi je ne peux pas
Je ne vois que toi
Vous parlez tous les deux
Tu as l'air heureux
Et ça me fait mal
Je ne vois que toi
Toi tu t'en aperçois
Mais ç a ne te gêne pas
Et ça t'es bien égal

Till The End Of Time (Perry Como)


Till The End Of Time
Composer(s): Buddy Kaye - Ted Mossman
First release by: Perry Como - 1945
Covered by multiple other artists



Till the end of time
Long as stars are in the blue
Long as there's a spring, a bird to sing
I'll go on loving you

Till the end of time
Long as roses bloom in May
My love for you will grow deeper
With every passing day

Till the wells run dry
And each mountain disappears
I'll be there for you, to care for you
Through laughter and through tears

So, take my heart in sweet surrender
And tenderly say that I'm
The one you love and live for
Till the end of time

I Ain't Your Hen, Mr. Fly Rooster


I Ain't Your Hen, Mr. Fly Rooster
Performer(s): Martha Copeland



Cat, keep away from my shack
Cat, don't you ever come back
Never no hug, and never no kiss
Forever more remember this

I ain't your hen, mister fly rooster
So don't crow in my back yard
Here's one chicken you ain't peckin'
The day you try you'll find it hard
When you hear me cackle don't you stop and snatch
Cause your kind of chickens that will never hatch
I ain't your hen, mister fly rooster
So don't crow in my back yard

I ain't your hen, mister fly fly rooster
So don't crow in my back yard
Here's one chicken you ain't peckin'
The day you try you'll find it hard
You and I ain't never gonna come to terms
Find some other chicken, I don't need your worms
I ain't your hen, mister fly fly rooster
So don't crow in my back yard

I ain't your hen, mister fly old rooster
So don't crow in my back yard
Here's one chicken you ain't peckin'
The day you try you'll find it hard
Found a sweet young rooster and he makes me proud
When you see him round me don't you crow too loud
I ain't your hen mister fly old rooster
So don't crow in my back yard
So don't crow in my back yard

Je Ne Veux Plus Parler D'Amour


Je Ne Veux Plus Parler D'Amour
Italian Title: D'Amore Non Ne Parlo Più
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



J'étais parti tête baissée
A coeur ouvert et sans penser
Qu'un jour il me faudrait apprendre
Que la flamme engendre ma cendre
Je ne veux plus parler d'amour
D'amour
Je ne veux plus parler d'amour

Au faux-jour de tes sentiments
J'ai cru dans mon aveuglement
Qu'on vivait plus qu'une aventure
Mais j'étais dans le clair-obscur
Je ne veux plus parler d'amour
D'amour
Je ne veux plus parler d'amour

Je ne veux plus dire ou entendre
Ce que nos voix se disaient en écho
Tantôt fous, tantôt tendres
Je veux les désapprendre
Car ce n'était pour toi que des mots
Que des mots

Je ne les avais pas appris
Sur mes lèvres ils avaient fleuri
Au soleil chaud de ma tendresse
Comme au printemps les roses naissent
Je ne veux plus parler d'amour
D'amour
Je ne veux plus parler d'amour

Je suis au fil de mes pensées
Un voyageur désorienté
Dans la forêt de tes mensonges
Qui a perdu la clef des songes
Je ne veux plus parler d'amour
D'amour
Je ne veux plus parler d'amour

Je ne ferai plus la folie
De croire à ces phrases qui sonnent faux
Je n'en ai plus envie
Elles n'ont dans ma vie
Perfidement laissé que des maux
Que des maux

Mon coeur a compris la leçon
Quand il a payé sa rançon
Au prix fort il me faut l'admettre
Pour le peu qu'il a cru connaître
Je ne veux plus parler d'amour
D'amour
Je ne veux plus parler d'amour

I Ain't The One
Composer(s): Gary Rossington; Ronnie Van Zant
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd



Well, I'll tell you plainly baby
What I plan to do
'Cause I may be crazy baby
But I ain't no fool
Your daddy's rich, mama
You're overdue
But I ain't the one, baby
Been messing with you
Got bells in your mind, mama
So won't you pardon me
I think its time for me to move along
I do believe

Now you're talking jive, woman
When you say to me
Your daddy's gonna take us in baby
'N take care of me
You know and I know, woman
I ain't the one
I never hurt you sweet heart
I never pulled my gun
Got bells in your mind, baby
So won't you pardon me?
I think its time for me to move along
I do believe
Time for me to put my boots out in the street baby
Are you ready boots -- walk on

All right there missy, let me tell you a thing or two
Now you're talking jive, woman
When you say to me
Your daddy's gonna take us in baby
'N take care of me
When you know and I know, woman
I ain't the one
That ain't my idea -- uh unh -- of having fun
Got rings in your eyes lady
So won't you pardon me
I think its time for me to move along
I do believe
I must be in the middle of some kind of conspiracy

Je Ne Veux Pas Le Croire


Je Ne Veux Pas Le Croire
Composer(s): Claude Moine;
P. Saka; J.P. Bourtayre
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Loin, loin, m'entraînent mes pensées
Un jour, nos cœurs se sont croisés
Mais aujourd'hui, c'est déjà le passé
Tout est fini, mais moi, en te voyant partir
Je me raccroche aux souvenirs
Je me dis: "je ne veux pas le croire"
Je ne veux pas le croire
Je ne veux pas le croire
Je ne veux pas le croire
On a pourtant chaque jour
Voulu sauver cet Amour
Mais rien n'a réussi
Alors aujourd'hui
Oh, oh, oh
Loin, loin, m'entraînent mes pensées
Je revois nos tendres années
Le temps devrait pouvoir s'arrêter
Mais pourtant vois-tu, j'ai l'impression de rêver
Et je voudrais me réveiller
Je me dis: "je ne veux pas le croire"
Je ne veux pas le croire
Je ne veux pas le croire
Je ne veux pas le croire
J'ai trop donné pour nous deux
Je suis encor'amoureux
Notr'amour ne peut pas se terminer là
Je ne veux pas le croire
Je ne veux pas le croire
Je ne veux pas le croire
Je ne veux pas le croire...

Composer(s): Ray Davies - Mario Coppola
Performer(s): I Pooh - 1966



Non mi importa più
se di me riderai
questi giorni vuoti
finiranno per lei

Ora so

Non la cercare
lasciala andare
lei non è fatta per te
Domani sarà qui
qui dove il mondo non parla di noi
nessuno potrà rider di lei
potrà rider di lei yeh
Non sarà la fine del mondo
se nessuno vorrà credere in noi
Domani sarà qui
qui dove il mondo non parla di noi
nessuno potrà rider di lei
potrà rider di lei
potrà rider di lei
Domani sarà qui
qui dove il mondo non parla di noi
nessuno potrà rider di lei
potrà rider di lei
potrà rider di lei
potrà rider di lei

I Ain't Superstitious


I Ain't Superstitious
Composer(s): Willie Dixon
First release by: Howlin' Wolf - 1962
Covered by multiple other artists



Ain't superstitious
black cat crossed my trail
I ain't superstitious
but a black cat crossed my trail
Bad luck ain't got me so far
and I won't let it stop me now
The dogs begin to bark
all over my neighborhood
And that ain't all
Dogs begin to bark
all over my neighborhood
Mmm-mmm
This is a mean old world to live in
And I can't face it all by myself, at all
And, dogs begin to bark
all over my neighborhood
The dogs begin to bark
all over my neighborhood
I got a feelin' about the future
and it ain't too good, I know that
I know, I know, I know
Ain't superstitious
but black cat crossed my trail
(I said it so many times before)
Ain't superstitious
a black cat crossed my trail
Bad luck ain't got me so far
and you know I ain't gonna let it stop me now
Come on

Je Ne T'Écrirai Plus


Je Ne T'Écrirai Plus
Composer(s): Anne-Marie Gaspard; Claude Barzotti
Performer(s): Claude Barzotti



Sous un pli bleu je t'envoyais la tendresse de Bernard Dimey
Tu trouvais que c'était joli, tu n'y as jamais rien compris
Je t'envoyais des chansons de Brel, celles qui frappaient où le cœur se fêle
Je pensais qu'elles pourraient peut-être, faire pousser un arbre au désert

Je t'envoyais des fleurs séchées, de la lavande et des pensées
Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux, disait Aragon amoureux
J'écrivais tout et sans pudeur, je me déshabillais le cœur
Je t'écris une dernière fois, c'est ma dernière chanson pour toi ...

{Refrain:}
Je ne t'écrirais plus, je n'en ai plus besoin
Je ne t'écrirais plus, maintenant tout va bien
Je ne t'écrirais plus, le calme est revenu, la tempête a cessé
j'ai fini de t'aimer
j'ai fini de t'aimer

Je te recopiais des poèmes, piqués à ce vieux fou d’Hugo
Lui qui savait dire je t'aime, sans jamais avoir l'air idiot
Je me servais d'Apollinaire, et de Rimbaud et de Verlaine
Ce rêve étrange et pénétrant, moi aussi, je l'ai fait souvent

{au Refrain, x2}

Till It Snows In Mexico


Till It Snows In Mexico
Composer(s): Gordon Payne - Roger Lavoie
Performer(s): Reba McEntire



Riding up in Oklahoma
People call us blind
'Cause we believe in God and love
And old fashioned things
We still draw the line between wrong and right
And when a woman takes a husband it's for life

We met on a road from Tulsa
Travelers in the night
Well I knew we belong together
It just felt so right
There's something about this gal you ought to know
She's gonna love you
Till it snows in Mexico

I'm gonna love you
Till it snows in Mexico
Or till the Rio Grande freezes over
'Cause darling when God made our love
He threw away the mold
And I'm gonna love you
Till it snows in Mexico

If you should ever leave me
Heaven forbid
But you don't have to worry none
About me?
You know exactly where I'll go
I'll be waiting for the snow in Mexico

I'm gonna love you
Till it snows in Mexico
Or till the Rio Grande freezes over
'Cause darling when God made our love
He threw away the mold
And I'm gonna love you
Till it snows in Mexico

'Cause darling when He made our love
He threw away the mold
I'm gonna love you
Till it snows in Mexico

Je Ne T'Aime Plus
Composer(s): Christophe
Performer(s): Christophe



Je ne t'aime plus, non, non, je ne t'aime plus
Oui, j'ai dit oui, mais laisse-moi un peu tranquille
Tu as cherché, tu vas trouver
Oui, j'avais dit oui
Le jour de notre mariage
Oh! que nous étions heureux
Tu n'es plus sage comme l'image
Que j'ai posé devant mes yeux
Je revois la petite chambre
De notre première nuit
Je t'ai dit doucement je....
Mais non, non je ne t'aime plus
Non, non, non, non ne me fais pas la guerre
Tu n'es vraiment plus rien pour moi
Ecoute je suis sincère
Il faut s'en tenir là!
Je ne t'aime plus, non, non je ne t'aime plus
Je ne t'aime plus, non, non je ne t'aime plus
Je ne t'aime plus {ad lib}

Till It Shines


Till It Shines
((Italian Version: Il Pagliaccio Azzurro (Anna Oxa) - 1979))
Composer(s): Bob Seger
First release by: Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band - 1978



Take away my inhibitions
Take away my solitude
Fire me up with your resistance
Put me in the mood
Storm the walls around this prison
Leave the inmates
Free the guards
Deal me up another future
From some brand new deck of cards
Take the chip off of my shoulder
Smooth out all the lines
Take me out among the rustling pines
Till it shines

Like an echo down a canyon
Never coming back as clear
Lately I just judge the distance
Not the words I hear
I've been too long on these islands
I've been far too long alone
I've been too long without summer
In this winter home
Still if we can make the effort
If we take the time
Maybe we can leave this much behind
Till it shines

See the rich man lost and lonely
Watch him as he dines
Sitting there just testing all the wines
Till it shines

Je Ne T'Aime Pas


Je Ne T'Aime Pas
Composer(s): Kurt Weill; Maurice Magre
Performer(s): Lys Gauty;
and various other artists



Retire ta main, je ne t'aime pas
Car tu l'as voulu, tu n'es qu'une amie
Pour d'autres sont faits le creux de tes bras
Et ton cher baiser, ta tête endormie

Ne me parle pas, lorsque c'est le soir
Trop intimement, à voix basse mêm'
Ne me donne pas surtout ton mouchoir
Il renferme trop le parfum que j'aim'

Dis-moi tes amours, je ne t'aime pas
Quelle heure te fut la plus enivrant'
Je ne t'aime pas
Et s'il t'aimait bien, ou s'il fut ingrat'
En me le disant, ne sois pas charmant
Je ne t'aime pas...

Je n'ai pas pleuré, je n'ai pas souffert
Ce n'était qu'un rêve et qu'une folie
Il me suffira que tes yeux soient clairs
Sans regret du soir, ni mélancolie

Il me suffira de voir ton bonheur
Il me suffira de voir ton sourire
Conte-moi comment-il a pris ton coeur
Et même dis-moi ce qu'on ne peut dire

Non, tais-toi plutôt
Je suis à genoux
Le feu s'est éteint, la porte est fermée...
Je ne t'aime pas
Ne demande rien, je pleure
C'est tout
Je ne t'aime pas
Je ne t'aime pas, ma bien-aimêe
Retire ta main, je ne t'aime pas
Je ne t'aime pas...

Till I Waltz Again With You


Till I Waltz Again With You
Composer(s): Sidney Prosen
First recording/First release by: Teresa Brewer - 1952
Covered by multiple other artists



Till I waltz again with you
Let no other hold your charms
If my dreams should all come true
You'll be waiting for my arms

Till I kiss you once again
Keep my love locked in your heart
Darling, I'll return and then
We will never have to part

Though it may break your heart and mine
The minute when it's time to go
Remember Dear, each word divine
That meant I love you so

Till I waltz again with you
Just the way we are tonight
I will keep my promise true
For you are my guiding light

Till I waltz again with you
Keep my love locked in your heart
Darling, I'll return and then
We will never have to part

Though it may break your heart and mine
The minute when it's time to go
Remember Dear, each word divine
That meant I love you so

Till I waltz again with you
Just the way we are tonight
I will keep my promise true
For you are my guiding light
My light, my light
I will keep my promise true
Till I waltz again with you

I Ain't Living Long Like This


I Ain't Living Long Like This
Composer(s): Rodney Crowell
First release by: Rodney Crowell - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists



You looked for trouble and you found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
You'd try to run but you don't think you can
You make one move and you're dead man, friend

I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I baby
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
Then he left me freezing on a steel rail track
They got 'em all in the jailhouse, ain't they baby
I ain't living long like this

Grew up in Houston off of Wayside drive
Son of a car hop in some all night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember was a drunk man's breath

I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this can I baby
We know the story how the wheel goes round
Don't let 'em take you to the man downtown
Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse, baby
I ain't living long like this

You live for angel, she's a roadhouse queen
Make Texas ruby look like Sandra Dee
You want to love her but you don't know how
You're at the bottom of the jailhouse now

I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I baby
You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it, but just don't get caught
They got 'em all in the jailhouse, ain't they baby
I ain't living long like this
