Time Has Told Me


Time Has Told Me
Composer(s): Nick Drake
First release by: Nick Drake - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Time has told me
You're a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind

And time has told me
Not to ask for more
Someday our ocean
will find its shore

So I'll leave the ways that are making me be
What I really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making me love
What I really don't want to love

Time has told me
You came with the dawn
A soul with no footprint
A rose with no thorn

Your tears they tell me
There's really no way
Of ending your troubles
With things you can say

And time will tell you
To stay by my side
To keep on trying
'Till there's no more to hide

So leave the ways that are making you be
What you really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making you love
What you really don't want to love

Time has told me
You're a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind

And time has told me
Not to ask for more
For some day our ocean
Will find its shore

I Believe In A Hill Called Mount Calvary


I Believe In A Hill Called Mount Calvary
Composer(s): William Gaither; Gloria Gaither; Dale Oldham
Performer(s): Gaither Vocal Band
and multiple other artists



I believe in a hill called mount calvary
I believe whatever the cost
And when time has surrendered
And earth is no more
I'll still cling to the old rugged cross

I believe that this life with its great mysteries
Surely someday will come to an end
But faith will conquer the darkness and death
And will lead at last to my friend

I believe that the Christ
Who was slain on the cross
Has the power to change lives today
For He changed me completely
A new life is mine
And that is why by the cross
I will stay

I believe in a hill called mount calvary
I believe whatever the cost
And when time has surrendered
And earth is no more
I'll still cling to the old rugged cross

Je Serai Là Pour Toi


Je Serai Là Pour Toi
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy; J.P. Castelain
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy



il y a tant de rêve
par-delà ta nuit
tant et tant de soleil
derrière tes murs gris
mais tu ne les vois pas
car tu restes chez toi

il y a tant de ciel
par-dessus ton toit
ta porte est-elle si vieille
quelle ne s'ouvre pas?
ou restes-tu chez toi
par peur d'attraper froid?

tu sais, j'ai eu froid aussi
tu sais, j'ai pleuré un jour
où je suis sortie
mais tu vois, aujourd'hui
je ne veux plus rentrer

il y a peu de gens
que l'on peut aimer
mais si tu voulais pourtant
j'aimerais t'aimer
le jour où tu voudras
je serai là pour toi

Time Has Come Today


Time Has Come Today
Composer(s): Willie M. Chambers - Joseph L. Chambers
First release by: The Chambers Brothers - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Young hearts can go that way
Can't put it off another day
I don't care what others say
They say we don't listen anyway
Time has come today
The rules have changed today
I have no place to stay
Thinking about the subway
The love has flown away
My tears have come and gone
Oh my lord I have to roam
I have no home
I have no home

Now the time has come
No place to run
I might get burned up by the sun
but I had my fun

I've been loved and put aside
I've been crushed by tumbling tide
and my soul has been psychedelicized

Now the time has come
There are things to realize
Time has come today
Time has come today
Time

I Believe


I Believe
Composer(s): Ervin Drake; Irvin Graham; Jimmy Shirl; Al Stillman
First recording/First release by: Frankie Laine - 1953
Covered by multiple other artists



I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray someone will come to show the way
I believe, I believe

I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe

Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe (why I believe)

Je Serai Là


Je Serai Là
English Title: I Will Be There
Composer(s): Johnnie Christo; Johnny Hallyday;
Étienne Roda-Gil; Trevor Steel; Milan Zekavica
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Sur tous les chemins de ta vie
Dans le désert ou sous la pluie
Quand tu voudras je serai là

Que tu viennes d'un château
De nulle part ou d'un ruisseau
Quand tu voudras je serai là

Je serai là si tu veux
Comme ces rêves qui rendent heureux
Pour faire d'un jour le plus beau jour de ta vie
Je serai là si tu veux
Comme la vie qu'on vit à deux
Si tu es là je serai là

Dans le souffle d'un vent géant
Dans le sourire du printemps
Quand tu voudras je serai là

Dans tes moments de solitude
Dans le confort ou la vie trop dure
Je serai là

Je serai là si tu veux
Comme ces rêves qui rendent heureux
Pour faire d'un jour le plus beau jour de ta vie
Je serai là si tu veux
Comme la vie qu'on vit à deux
Si tu es là je serai là

Dans tes yeux ou dans ton sommeil
Quand tu dors, quand tu te réveilles
Quand tu voudras je serai là

Je serai là si tu veux
Comme ces rêves qui rendent heureux
Pour faire d'un jour le plus beau jour de ta vie
Je serai là si tu veux
Comme la vie qu'on vit à deux
Si tu es là je serai là

Rien que pour toi je serai là
Si tu es là je serai là

Time For Livin'


Time For Livin'
Composer(s): Don Addrisi - Dick Addrisi
Performer(s): The Association



I kicked off my shoes and felt the good earth under my feet
I loosened my tie and saw what it feels like to breathe
I found the secret to life
I took some time for livin'

I took off my watch and found I had all the time in the world
I opened my arms so I could hold life like a beautiful girl
I laid down all of my hangups forever
Hey look, I've changed
My attitude's been rearranged
From now on I'm taking some

Time for livin', groovin' on everything
Life is givin', from now on I'm taking
Time...
For life

Too busy to stop and notice the things that are real
Embarassed to talk about all the things that I feel
It's so strange never noticed the world all around me
Hey look, I've changed
My attitude's been rearranged
From now on I'm taking some

Time for livin', groovin' on everything
Life is givin', from now on I'm taking
Time... For life

Je Saurai Être Ton Amie


Je Saurai Être Ton Amie
Performer(s): France Gall



Je saurai être ton amie
Si tu veux me parler au milieu de la nuit
Si tu veux raconter si tu as des ennuis
Me parler de ta vie

Tu sais je sais être une amie
Et je les reconnais tous ceux qui m'ont trahie
Quand plus rien n'était simple au détour de ma vie
En plein cœur de la nuit

Tu sais le moment vient où il faut être là
On a vraiment besoin
De quelqu'un près de soi
Et si tu veux de moi

Je saurai être ton amie
Et je saurai comprendre tes silences à demi
Si tu sais m'accepter et si tu te confies
Je saurai t'écouter, tu sauras que je suis ton amie

Je saurai être ton amie
Et t'écouter cent fois recommencer ta vie
Te redonner encore et encore mon avis
Que tu n'écouteras pas et de faire des paris
Que je saurai perdus

Time Don't Run Out On Me


Time Don't Run Out On Me
Composer(s): Carole King - Gerry Goffin
Performer(s): Anne Murray



Time, don't run out on me
Gotta make you love me the way you used to do
Gotta get back the feeling and put wind in my sails
And chart a course that gets me back to you, back to you

Oh, the lonely days, the lonely nights lookin' back in time
Time, don't run out on me
I've gotta get back to where we used to be (where we used to be)
Time, don't run out on me, don't run out on me

There's one more thing I gotta do before I pack it in
Gotta make the right moves, say the right thing to change your mind
And find a way to get you back again, back again

All the wasted time, the lonely nights lookin' back in time
Time, don't run out on me
I've gotta get back to where we used to be (where we used to be)
Time, don't run out on me

Once I could catch your eye across the room
And know just what you were thinkin'
And when I held you in my arms, we'd dream as one
But those days are gone, somethin' went wrong
And when I wake up to the mornin' sun
I find myself sayin'

Time, don't run out on me, don't run out on me, don't run out on me
Time, don't run out on me
Time, don't run out on me
I've gotta get back to where we used to be (where we used to be)
Time, don't run out on me (time don't run out on me)
(Time, don't run out on me)
(Time, don't run out on me)
(Time, don't run out on me)...

I Beeped When I Should Have Bopped


I Beeped When I Should Have Bopped
Composer(s): Paul Brenner; Bernie Wayne
Performer(s): Louis Prima



Beep-beep-beep-beepy-beep-beep-bee-bee

Slow down, honey
Be cool
It looks like you’ll never learn how to bop
You’re nothing but a square!
All you do is beep-beep-beep
You’re a bring-down and I’m cutting out
Goodbye!

There she goes!

My life was all sunshine and roses

With the gal, I was right at the top
Well, we get along swell till she suddenly fell for
The music that’s known as bop
Oh, I tried to be so hep for her sake
Till one day I made my fatal mistake

I beeped when I should have bopped
Lapped when I should have lopped
I was walking on air till she called me a square
‘Cause I beeped when I should have bopped
I dipped when I should have flipped
I tripped when I should have hipped
My romancing was fine till I got out of line
‘Cause I beeped when I should have bopped

Oh-ya-coo, coo-ya-oo, oo-ba-doo, shmoo-ba-poo
It all sounds the same to me
Bla-de-da, da-de-bla, diddly-da, schmiddly-pa
Is it something that’s served with tea?

Hiccups!

I beeped when I should have bopped
I heaped when I should have hopped
I was giving my all to my bum of the ball
And now I’m blowing my top
‘Cause I beeped when I should have bopped

Oh-ya-coo, coo-ya-oo, oo-ba-doo, schmoo-ba-poo

It all sounds the same to me

Bla-de-da, da-de-bla, diddly-da, schmiddly-pa
Is it something that’s served with tea?

I beeped when I should have bopped
I heaped when I should have hopped
I was giving my all to the bum of the ball
And now I’m blowing my top
‘Cause I beeped

Slow down man!

‘Cause I leaped

Be cool Daddio!

‘Cause I beeped

That’s the end!

When I should have bopped

Je Sais Très Bien


Je Sais Très Bien
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; L. Marichal
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey



Je sais très bien que tu ne veux plus de moi
Mais malgré ça et aussi malgré moi
Je ne puis cesser de penser à toi
Bien que tu ne le mérites pas

Je sais très bien notre amour est perdu
Même le souvenir chez toi n'y est plus
Nuit et jour je crois entendre ta voix
Mais ta pitié ne parle pas.

Je t'en prie souviens toi toujours de moi
Des merveilleux moments passés autrefois
Où nous étions des amoureux bienheureux
Car l'amour était pour nous deux

Je sais très bien que tu ne veux plus de moi
Mais malgré tout et aussi malgré moi
J'espère un jour que tu me comprendras
Et qu'alors tu me reviendras.

Mais je sais bien que tu ne veux plus de moi
Malgré moi, malgré toi
Mais je sais très bien
Que tu ne veux plus de moi

Time Between


Time Between
Composer(s): Chris Hillman
Performer(s): The Byrds
and multiple other artists



Don't say you love me
Don't say you care
You're so far away
Telephone communication
Only a three minute elation
When I hear your voice

Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel is al this time between
You and me, you and me

All the days have turned to years
Only emphasize my fears
Since you said goodbye
I can hear your voice at night
I can read the words you write
It's only love

Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel is al this time between
You and me, you and me

Now don't say you love me
Don't say you care
You're so far away
I can hear your voice at night
I can read the words you write
It's only love

Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel is al this time between
You and me, you and me

Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel is al this time between
You and me, you and me

Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline
Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline
That's the troublingest woo-hoo (woman?), that I ever seen

The church bell tollin', the hearse come driving slow
The church bell tollin', the hearse come driving slow
I hope my baby, don't leave me no more

Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home?
Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home?
You know I love you baby, but you've been gone too long

Je Sais Que Tu Ne Peux Pas Trouver Mieux Ailleurs


Je Sais Que Tu Ne Peux Pas Trouver Mieux Ailleurs
Composer(s): B. Killen; R. Riely
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Seul parmi la foule au milieu du quai
C'est le dernier regard avant le premier regret
Il s'éloigne doucement le train du soir
Toi tu pars vers le soleil et l'avenir est noir

Va-t-en plus loin
Je sais que tu ne peux pas trouver mieux ailleurs

Sous les néons rouges les bouges où l'ennui passe
Des filles aux corps qui bougent m'ont fait l'amour dans une impasse
Dans une bar j'ai vu ton visage tout au fond de mon verre
J'ai cherché des coups au barman j'ai peur de tout si je te perds

Ouais, tu vas trop loin
Je sais que tu ne peux pas trouver mieux ailleurs

Je vois les murs le plafond tanguer comme un bateau
Allongé sur mon lit je défie ta photo
Ma main dans la fumée s'agrippe au téléphone
Je décroche comme un fou c'est le réveil qui sonne

Ouais, reviens
Ouais, reviens
Je sais que tu ne peux pas trouver mieux ailleurs

Je sais que tu ne peux pas trouver mieux ailleurs

Hum ouais
Je sais que tu ne peux pas trouver mieux ailleurs...

Time And Time Again


Time And Time Again
((Swedish Version: Många Gånger Än (Agnetha Fältskog))
Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog - Peter Himmelstrand - Bengt Palmers
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



We'll find our own little places
Time and time again
Sleep together in the evenings
Time and time again
Wake up together, argue sometimes
Make up and love each other
Travel away and miss each other
Time and time again

We'll be sad together
And laugh at the same little jokes
And always have someone to talk to
And we'll sit idly in front of the TV
And have a glass of red wine
And then be so relaxed and tired, mmm...

We'll fly away on vacation
Time and time again
Have leftovers for dinner
Time and time again
Pinch our pennies, waste them sometimes
Sing a brand new song
Be excited about what will happen
Time and time again

We'll have happy times
When the world is open and light
And times when dreams are shattered
And we'll have thousands of little memories
That we'll tenderly recall
And forget all the sad ones the way people do

We'll find our own favorite places
Time and time again
Sleep together in the evenings
Time and time again
Wake up together, argue sometimes
Make up and love each other
Travel away and miss each other
Time and time again

Een Lied Voor Kinderen


Een Lied Voor Kinderen
Composer(s): Dimitri Van Toren First release by: Dimitri Van Toren - 1973



Dit is een lied alleen voor kinderen
Het is gisteren gemaakt
Omdat ze morgen uitgespeeld zijn
Een trappenhuis wordt nu hun speelplaats
Een lied dat zingt "geef ze de ruimte"
Een lied dat dartelt in de zon
Over dichtbijzijnde polders
Een liedje zomaar andersom
Over een stad die autovrij was
Met een muziektent op de markt
En een levensgrote speeltuin
Over de vogels in 't park

Diediediediediedaidaidam
Diediediediediediedaidam
Diediediediediedaidaidam
Diediediediediediedaidam

Stel je voor, je kon er spelen
Op de straten, op het plein
Ongestoord kon je er hinkelen
De stad zou helemaal van jou zijn
Ergens hoor je kind'ren tellen
Je telt mee "acht, negen, tien"
En je hoort na al die jaren
"Wie niet weg is is gezien"

Diediediediediedaidaidam
Diediediediediediedaidam
Diediediediediedaidaidam
Diediediediediediedaidam

Dit is een lied alleen voor kind'ren
In een land van koning welvaart
Morgen zullen ze niet meer spelen
Een stadsvogel vrij verklaard
Een lied voor kleine zielige vogels
Die als kind'ren zijn vermomd
Wier vleugels men heeft kortgeknipt
Hun gezang is haast verstomd

Diediediediediedaidaidam
Diediediediediediedaidam
Diediediediediedaidaidam
Diediediediediediedaidam

Diediediediediedaidaidam
Diediediediediediedaidam
Diediediediediedaidaidam

Je Sais Que Tu Danses


Je Sais Que Tu Danses
Composer(s): J.P. Buccolo; Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



J'aimerais que le temps s'accélère
Qu'il efface toutes nos scènes de guerre
Et que cette histoire recommence
Y a bien des nageurs qui reviennent
Y a bien des forêts qui s'éteignent
Y a bien des étoiles qui avancent
Toi, je sais que tu danses
... Je sais que tu danses
Je vois dans mes nuits écarlates
Des diables et des dieux qui se battent
Devant tes cheveux qui balancent
Pendant que mes forces s'évaporent
Pendant que mes mains cherchent ton corps
Dans toute l'épaisseur du silence
Je sais que tu danses
... Je sais que tu danses
Je vois ton image partout
Des croix sur les endroits où
Depuis ton parfum se balance
Je vois ton image partout...
Je ferai de mon mieux pour sourire
Je baisserai les yeux pour te dire
Combien les hivers sont immenses
Sans que tu prononces une parole
Sans même que tes pieds touchent le sol
Quand tu reviendras si t'y penses
J'aimerais que tu danses
... J'aimerais que tu danses
Y aura ton image partout
Des croix sur les endroits où
Depuis ton parfum se balance
Y aura ton image partout...
Y aura ton image partout
Des croix sur les endroits où
Je vois ton corps en transparence
Y aura ton image partout...
...Y aura ton image partout...

Time And The River


Time And The River
Composer(s): Wally Gold - Aaron Schroeder
Performer(s): Nat King Cole



Time and the river will bring my love to me
If I must, I'll wait forever
By the river that took her to the sea

Here by the river we loved, we laughed, we cried
But with time, my love, my darling
Left my arms and was gone with the tide

How long I've been lonely
Star of love shining bright
I need her, oh, lead her to my arms tonight

Time and the river, how swiftly they go by
But my heart will beat for no other
Till time stands still and the river runs dry

Time and the river, how swiftly they go by
But my heart will beat for no other
Till time stands still and the river runs dry

I Ask Of You


I Ask Of You
Composer(s): Anastacia; Louis Biancaniello; Sam Watters
Performer(s): Anastacia



Whooo
Your love is like a gentle breeze upon a brand-new day
Your touch and what it does to me -like a flower needs its rain
We are like one of a kind, true love is hard to find
I can 't go on another day
Just hear me when I say
I ask of you, would you love me, if nothing else went right?
se il sole c'è, io chiedo di te
And I ask of you, would you hold me, forever in your life?
se ci sei, e se mi vorrai... così
And don't let me fall,'cause I can only give my all
come ti vorrei
Here I am
con me
I ask of you
chiedo di te
Io t'appartengo e ora lo so e me lo ha detto il cuor
And nothing else matters now, with all we've been through
ecco perchè nulla al mondo mai, mi porterà via da te…
But now before I let go, you gotta let me know

I ask of you, would you love me, if nothing else went right?
se il sole c'è, io chiedo di te
And I ask of you, would you hold me, forever in your lire?
se ci sei, e se mi vorrai… così
And don 't let me fall,'cause I can only give my all
come ti vorrei
Here I am
con me
I ask of you
chiedo di te

I ask of you, chiedo di te... per la vita

I never really thought
I never really tbought
That you'd be all to me
Chiedo di te
That you'd be all that really matters to me
I'd give everything and all I am to you se mi vuoi anche tu
Oh baby, baby, I know you feel this way too e poi non chiedo di più

I ask of you, would you love me, if nothing else went right?
se il sole c'è, io chiedo di te
And I ask of you, would you hold me, forever in your life?
se ci sei, e se mi vorrai così
And don't let me fall,'cause I can only give my all
come ti vorrei
I ask of you
chiedo di te
I ask of you
chiedo di te
