I Didn't See The Time Go By
I Didn't See The Time Go By
French Title: Je N'ai Pas Vu Le Temps Passer
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Herbert Kretzmer
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Now as the wheel of life turns faster
Now as the seasons seem to fly
I see so many things at last
But didn't see the time go by
I've known delight, I've known disaster
The caviar, the humble pie
From the absurd to the sublime
I didn't see the time go by
I didn't see the years roll on
I didn't know the road would bend
Refused to see when youth was gone
Pretending it might never end
Now there is a price to pay
For every day I threw away
It seems I wasted half a lifetime
Within the blinking of an eye
I didn't hear the midnight chime
I didn't see the time go by
In still of nights and brief romances
I kissed the girls and made them cry
While there were balconies to climb
I didn't see the time go by
I was the guy with all the answers
The half-way truth, the little lie
So sure so certain in my prime
I didn't see the time go by
I hit the heights, I bit the dirt
I left some wreckage in my wake
I didn't see that lies can hurt
I didn't know how hearts can break
And now they come to haunt my mind
The lives I touched and left behind
I've sung a hundred songs of longing
Of sweet regret and hope run dry
I've searched for melody and rhyme
But never saw how time can fly
Never saw the darkening sky
I was a minstrel of my time
Who did not see the time go by

Jean
Jean
Composer(s): Rod McKuen
Performer(s): Rod McKuen
Jean, Jean, roses are red
All the leaves have gone green
And the clouds are so low
You can touch them, and so
Come out to the meadow, Jean
Jean, Jean, you're young and alive
Come out of your half-dreamed dream
And run, if you will, to the top of the hill
Open your arms, bonnie Jean
Till the sheep in the valley come home my way
Till the stars fall around me and find me alone
When the sun comes a-singin' I'll still be waitin'
For Jean, Jean, roses are red
And all of the leaves have gone green
While the hills are ablaze
With the moon's yellow haze
Come into my arms, bonnie Jean
(Jean, Jean), Jean, you're young and alive
Come out of your half-dreamed dream
And run, if you will, to the top of the hill
Come into my arms, bonnie Jean

Marriage Type Love
Marriage Type Love
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Tommy Steele
and multiple other artists
No, she's not the first girl I've met
But she's the only one I could ever settle down with
I'm not kiddin', I mean it
You know, it's funny how you go through life, meetin' all sorts o' diff'rent girls
Then all of a sudden, one comes along and you know, you just know...
When first I set my longing eyes on you
I saw my future shining in your face
And when you smiled an murmured, "How d'ya do?"
The room became a dream enchanted place
The chandaliers were shooting stars
The drums and horns and soft guitars
Were soundin' more like nightingales
The window curtains blew like sails
And I was floatin' just above the floor
Feelin' slightly taller than before
Out of nowhere came the feeling
Cue the feeling, a marriage type love
We were dancing and her eyelash
Blinked on my lash, a marriage type love
We made a date, couldn't wait for my day off
Now it's a thing, with a ring for the pay-off
Well, I'm her pigeon, through with roaming
Now I'm homing, to marriage type love and her
I'd like to tell you a secret
I just keep on seein' her, even when she's not there, she just seems to appear from out of nowhere, it's marvellous...
We were dancing and her eyelash
It blinked on my lash, a marriage type love
We made a date and we couldn't wait then for my day off
Now it is a thing, and it's with a ring for the pay-off
I am her pigeon, through with roaming
Now I'm homing to marriage type love and her!

I Didn't Mean To Love You
I Didn't Mean To Love You
Composer(s): Arthur Butler; Karen Philipp
Performer(s): Helen Reddy; Freddy Cole; Dionne Warwick
Sunday Morning waking up and touching you
You're always warm at 9 a.m
Pillows close and I can feel you wanting me
When I go back to sleep again
I didn't mean to love you
And I never meant to care
But I guess I never noticed
Just how often you were there
Walking on and talking till the sun went down
You kept me warm with just your eyes
Seems that all we wanted just came naturally
We never even had to try
I didn't mean to love you
Didn't want to let it show
No I never meant to tell you
I'm just too proud to let on
Bring back the days when we could talk away our troubles
Don't tell me things have changed so much
Please take the time you know it's not so hard to do
Unless there's nothing left to say
I guess there's nothing left to say
I didn't mean to love you
But I guess I always will
Yes you'll always be inside me
Kinda warm and soft and still
I didn't mean to need you
and I didn't want to cry
I never meant to loose you
I never meant good-bye
I never meant good-bye

Jealousy (Frankie Miller)
Jealousy
Performer(s): Frankie Miller
It cuts me deep
And it cuts me wide
This gut rock feelin'
I get inside
And I blame you
But it's really me
Can't rid myself
Of jealousy
When I'm away
And you're at home
I don't believe
You're on your own
It's my foolish
Insecurity
Can't rid myself
Of jealousy
Jealousy
As thick as mud
It's in my veins
It's in my blood
Jealousy
It's plain to see
I love you more
Than you love me
It get's me so
I can't sleep at night
I walk the floor
In the pale moonlight
Yes, I blame you
But it's really me
Can't rid myself
Of jealousy
Jealousy
It's thick as mud
It's in my veins
It's in my blood
Jealousy
It's plain to see
I love you more
Than you love me, baby
Jealousy
It's thick as mud
It's in my veins
It's in my blood
Jealousy
It's plain to see
I love you so much
It's killin' me, baby
Jealousy
It's thick as mud
It's in my veins
It's in my blood
Jealously
It's plain to see
I love you more
Than you love me
You'll be the death of me, baby
Jealousy
It's thick as mud
It's in my veins...

To Do With Love
To Do With Love
Composer(s): Tony Hicks - Kenny Lynch
Performer(s): The Hollies
Next time I meet a girl, I won't ask her her name
Or where she's been, or where she came from
The last time I found love it only brought me pain
The problems almost took me over
I was washing up for mother, I was lighting pipes for papa
And fetching water
And that's got nothing at all, that's got nothing at all
To do with love
Next time I meet a girl
I won't tell her my name
Or where I've been
Or where I came from
I'll take a hold of her
And love her just the same
No need to mention past acquaintances
I just want someone to love me
And someone to like the presents
That I bought her
'Cause that's got something to do
Yes, that's got something to do
To do with love
Each girl I meet comes up wronger
And I can't take it all much longer
No, I can't no
Next time I meet a girl
I won't tell her my name
Or where I've been
Or where I came from
I'll take a hold of her
And love her just the same
No need to mention past acquaintances
I just want someone to love me
And someone to like the presents
That I bought her
'Cause that's got something to do
Yes, that's got something to do
To do with love

I Didn't Know What Time It Was
I Didn't Know What Time It Was
Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Lorenz Hart
First performance by: Marcy Westcott and Richard Kollmar - 1939
Covered by multiple other artists
Once I was young, yesterday, perhaps
Danced with Jim and Paul and kissed some other chaps
Once I was young, but never was naive
I thought I had a trick or two up my imaginary sleeve
And now I know I was naive
I didn't know what time it was
Then I met you
Oh, what a lovely time it was
How sublime it was too!
I didn't know what day it was
Then you held my hand
Warm like the month of May it was
And I'll say it was grand
Grand to be alive, to be young
To be mad, to be yours alone
Grand to see your face, feel your touch
Hear your voice say I'm all your own
I didn't know what year it was
Life was no prize
I wanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes
Once I was old, twenty years or so
Rather well preserved, the wrinkles didn't show
Once I was old, but not too old for fun
I used to hunt for little girls up my imaginary gun
But now I ain't for only one
I'm wise and I know what time it is now
I'm wise and I know what time it is now
I'm so wise and I know what time it is now

Jealousy (Frankie Laine)
Jealousy
French Title: Jalousie
Composer(s): Jacob Gade; Vera Bloom
Performer(s): Frankie Laine;
and various other artists
Jealousy, night and day you torture me
I sometimes wonder, if this spell that I'm under
Can only be a melody, for I know no one but me
Has won your heart, but when the music starts
My peace departs from the moment
they play that lovely strain
And we surrender to all it's charm again
This jealousy that tortures me, is ecstasy, mystery, pain
We dance to a tango of love
Your heart beats with mine as we sway
You eyes give the answer I'm dreaming of
That soft word your cruel lips will never say
I fear that the music will end
And shatter the spell it may lend
To make me believe, when your eyes just deceive
But it's only the tango you love
I feal that the music will end
And shatter the spell it may lend
To make me believe, when your eyes just deceive
And, it's only the tango you love
It's only the tango that you love

Waarom laat je me nu toch zo alleen
Voor `t eerst was ik vanavond nummer Eén
Je zei ik hou van jou wel duizend keer
Maar nu ben ik toch weer alleen
Toch weet ik je heb al spijt
Omdat jij nu niet begrijpt
Dat ik zoveel van je hou ik
Wil nooit een andere vrouw
Ja ik dacht alleen aan jou
Ik gaf je liefde en m`n trouw
Je mag denken wat je wil schat
Ik hou van jou
Het kost jou toch geen moeite want ik ben niets
Een dure Rols voor jou voor mij een oude fiets
Vergeet maar niet wat jezelf bent geweest
Waarom waarom ben ik weer alleen
Toch voel ik je hebt al spijt
Omdat jij nu niet begrijpt
Dat ik zoveel van je hou ik
Wil nooit een andere vrouw
Je gaf me alles wat ik wou
Al je liefde en je trouw
Je mag denken wat je wil schat
Ik hou van jou
Toch voel ik je hebt al spijt
Omdat jij nu niet begrijpt
Dat ik zoveel van je hou ik
Wil nooit een andere vrouw
Je gaf me alles wat ik wou
Al je liefde en je trouw
Je mag denken wat je wil schat
Ik hou van jou

I Didn't Know About You
I Didn't Know About You
Composer(s): Duke Ellington; Bob Russell
First release by: Jo Stafford and The Pied Pipers with Paul Weston & His Orch. - 1944
Covered by multiple other artists
I went around with my own little croud
The usual laughs, not often but loud
And in the world that I knew
I didn't know about you
Chasing after the ring on the merry-go-round
Just taking my fun where it could be found
And yet what else could I do
I didn't know about you
Darling, now I know
I had the loneliest yesterday
Ev'ry day
In your arms I know for once in my life
I'm living
Had a good time ev'ry time I went out
Romance was the thing I kidded about
How could I know about love
I didn't know about you

Jealous Of You
Jealous Of You
Italian Title: Tango Della Gelosia
Composer(s): Marjorie Harper;
Vito Mascheroni; Peppino Mendes
Performer(s): Connie Francis; Lou Monte
Your eyes may thrill me with gladness
And tell me you`re true, dear
Yet thoughts still fill me with sadness
And what can I do, dear
I wonder if you are free
I wonder if you are free
Do you belong just to me
I`m always jealous of you, dear
I`m not to be
I am jealous of you, darling
Why am I so jealous, darling
Sad are the fancies that throng
Through my heart everyday
Lest someone else come along
Who can steal you away
All your beauty I would own
I would have you mine alone
Fear that someday we may part
Still consumes me with pain
What would become of my heart
If I loved you in vain

Sento sfuggirmi dalle dita
Ogni appiglio della vita
E sò già come finirò
Morire d'amore
Visto che il mondo mi accusa
Ogni altra via resta chiusa
Non saprai quando me ne andrò
Morire d'amore
Morire d'amore, il mio unico giorno con te
Pagarlo al prezzo più alto che c'è
Ma chi mi capirà
non mi condannerà
La gente è piena di problemi
Piccole idee, soliti schemi
Entro cui io non entrerò
Morire d'amore
Per amare te fino in fondo
Posso dire basta al mondo
E sarà logico per me
Morire d'amore
Ormai sulla mia vita è scesa
La rabbia triste della resa
Ma non sò rinunciare a te
Morire d'amore
Morire d'amore, andar via senza tanti perchè
Dove posso portare con me
Solo ciò che eravamo noi due
E che eri tu
Non ci sarà un altro incontro
Tu eri l'alba ed io il tramonto
Me ne andrò rimpiangendo te
Morire d'amore
Morire d'amore
Morire d'amore

I Did What I Could With My Gas Mask
I Did What I Could With My Gas Mask
Composer(s): Isaacs; Leslie
Performer(s): George Formby
Now I'm getting very fond of my gasmask I declare
It hardly ever leaves my side
I sling it on my back and I take it everywhere
It even comes to bed at night
It's been a real good pal to me I must confess
And helped me out of many a mess
My sister had a lot of socks to mend
So she gave me a fat bouncing baby to tend
And when I felt it leaking at one end
Well I did what I could with my gas mask
I bought a farm because I like fresh air
At milking time a try to do my share
And when I found the bucket wasn't there
I did what I could with my gasmask
The lady living next door, Mrs. Hicks
She heard the sirens blow one morn at ten to six
She dashed outside in nothing but her nicks
But she knew what to do with her gasmask
By train I went for a very tiring ride
There wasn't any corridor outside
And when I felt the turning of the tide
Well I did what I could with my gasmask
To see old Epstein's Adam in the nude
I once thought I'd go with my Aunt Ermintrude
And when she sniffed and said 'Uh!' how very rude
Still he knows what to do with his gas mask
For years I've courted Anabella Price
And always found her just as cold as ice
Until one night the lass forgot her ma's advice
Then I did what I could with my gasmask

Jealous Minds
Jealous Minds
Composer(s): Kevin Hayes; Jimmy Pugh
Performer(s): Robert Cray Band
Some people live to ruin a love so fine
They know they'll never have what's yours and mine
I know things won't get any better while we're apart
So stop talking to your friends, and try listening with your heart
They always try to tell you all that they see
Jealous minds will tell you what they think about me
They'll show themselves in time
To be nothing but jealous minds
I took you out to a party, a high-class afair
You were talking to your friends, like I wasn't there
You told them that living with me has really been one big chore
Oh, then maybe I should leave, and you'd appreciate me more
They always try to tell you all that they see
Jealous minds will tell you what they think about me
They'll show themselves in time
To be nothing but jealous minds
Oh, tell your friends when you see them
When you see them again
Tell them about the hard times, how we survived the pain
Then don't waste any more time
Because they're nothing but jealous minds
Jealous minds
Ohhhh, they're nothing but jealous minds
Hey, hey
Jealous minds
Hey, hey
Jealous minds
Always trying to tell you what they think of me
Hey, hey, hey
Jealous minds

Versions In Other Languages:
1971 - Morire D'amore (Charles Aznavour)
2002 - Ik Hou Van Jou (André Hazes)
I reach to touch the walls around me
The shadows of the night surround me
Alone I face my destiny: to die of love
They say our love has been forbidden
but what we feel can not be hidden
It's very possible, you see, to die of love
It's very possible, you see, to die of love
How to live far forever with you
just to live life together with you
that's the choice that I make and a chance I must take
To live, my love must find expression
and so I make my last confession
without you it's my destiny, to die of love
This world of ours does not grow younger
some die of illness, some of hunger
I stand before eternity, to die of love
That's why I try to find a way now
I only live from day to day now
and yet it's possible you see, to die of love
and yet it's possible you see, to die of love
How to live far forever with you
just to live life together with you
that's the choice that I make and a chance I must take
I hear their whispers when they see us
If all their words condemn or free us
I wonder will they sentence me?
To die of love
To die of love
To die of love

Composer(s): Richard Whiting - Nacio Herb Brown - Buddy De Sylva
Performer(s): Ethel Merman
and multiple other artists
Maud and Mabel, seated at a table
Talking over bygone days
Mabel sporty, fat and over forty
Said, “Remember Edith Hayes”
Eadie was a sucker for a bottle and glass
But in spite of everything that gal had class
Then one winter, she wed a Chinese printer
Struck her with refined like ways
But Eadie was a lady (Eadie was a lady)
Though her past was shady (Though her past was shady)
Eadie had class, with a capital K
Though her life was merry (Though her life was merry)
She had savoir fairey (Talking of savoir fairey)
Eadie did things in a ladylike way
She would have a golden toothpick handy
After meals she’d flash it about
Remember how she used to drink her brandy
With her finger sticking well out
For Eadie was a lady (Eadie was a lady)
Ask P.I. O’Grady
Eadie had class, with a capital K
