To Wait For Love


To Wait For Love
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
First recording/First release by: Jay & The Americans - 1963/1964
Covered by multiple other artists



Every day without love
Is a day of sorrow
Don`t wait til tomorrow
To wait for love is just
To waste your life away

Dreams come true and if you
Get too far behind them
Someone else will find them
To wait for love is just
To waste your life away

So press your lips
Against my lips
And thrill me with the
Warmth of your caress

The time for love is late
So please don`t wait
Together, we can
Find happiness

I know that
Every day without love
Is a day of sadness
Let me bring you gladness
To wait for love is just
To waste your life away

Hear what I say
Tomorrow
True love may fly away

I Don't Want Nobody Else (To Dance With You)


I Don't Want Nobody Else (To Dance With You)
Performer(s): Narada Michael Walden



I don't want nobody else to dance with you
I don't want nobody else to dance with you
You think you're cute just 'cause you dance with my bro
But you ain't seen nothin', baby I'm gonna get my dancing shoes

Cause I'm crazy about you, got that sparkle in your eyes
And I need your sweet reaction just a little bit more

I don't want nobody else to dance with you
I don't want nobody else to dance with you
Baby come real quick, I got the blues to share with you
Ohhhhhh I know I've gone shiftless, I'm in a bit of a mess for you

See I'm crazy about you,
You got that magic in your eyes
And I need for you to give me just a little bit more

I don't want nobody but you to dance with me, say it
I don't want nobody but you
I don't want nobody but you to dance with me, say it
I don't want nobody but you
I don't want nobody but you to dance with me, say it
I don't want nobody but you
I don't want nobody but you to dance with me, say it
I don't want nobody but you
I don't want nobody but you to dance with me, say it
I don't want nobody but you

See I'm crazy about you,
You got that sparkle in your eyes
And I need for you to give me just a little bit more

I don't want nobody else to dance with you
I don't want nobody else to dance with you
You think you're cute just 'cause you dance with my bro
But you ain't seen nothin', baby I'm gonna get my dancing shoes

Jersey Girl


Jersey Girl
Composer(s): Tom Waits
Performer(s): Tom Waits;
and various other artists



Got no time for the corner boys
down in the street makin' all that noise
Don't want no whores on eighth avenue
'cause tonight I'm gonna be with you

'Cause tonight I'm gonna take that ride
across the river to the Jersey side
Take my baby to the carnival
and I'll take you on all the rides
sing sha la la la la la sha la la la

Down the shore everything's alright
you with your baby on a Saturday night
Don't you know that all my dreams come true
when I'm walkin' down the street
with you, sing sha la la la la la sha la la la

You know she thrills me with all her charms
when I'm wrapped up in my baby's arms
my little angel gives me everything
I know someday that she'll wear my ring

So don't bother me cause I got no time
I'm on my way to see that girl of mine
nothin' else matters in this whole wide world
when you're in love with a Jersey girl
sing sha la la la la la la

And I call your name
I can't sleep at night
sha la la la la la la

To The Morning


To The Morning
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
First release by: Dan Fogelberg - 1972



Watching the sun
Watching it come
Watching it come up over the rooftops

Cloudy and warm
Maybe a storm
You can never quite tell
From the morning

And it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say no
To the morning

Yes it's going to be a day
There is really nothing left to
Say but
Come on morning

Waiting for mail
Maybe a tail
From an old friend
Or even a lover

Sometimes there's none
But we have fun
Thinking of all who might
Have written

And maybe there are seasons
And maybe they change
And maybe to love is not so strange

The sounds of the day
They hurry away
Now they are gone until tomorrow

When day will break
And you will wake
And you will rake your hands
Across your eyes
And realize

That it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say no
To the morning

Yes it's going to be a day
There is really nothing left to say but
Come on morning

I Don't Wanna Live Without You


I Don't Wanna Live Without You
Composer(s): Jackie Lomax
Performer(s): Jackie Lomax



I don't wanna live with you this way
But I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live with you this way
But I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live without you
But I can't live with your ways
I begin to doubt you
In all those subtle ways

I don't wanna live with you this way
But I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live with you this way
But I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna tell you your business
But something's seriously wrong
There's no love lost between us
Just can't go on for long

I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna have to
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna have to
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna have to doubt you
But I don't wanna live without, without you

I don't wanna live with you this way
But I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live with you this way
But I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live in this vacuum
There's no space, and no breathable air
I've sung the end of that tune
I know we ain't goin' nowhere

I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna have to
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna have to
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna have to doubt you
I don't wanna live without, without you

J'Erre


J'Erre
Performer(s): Guy Béart



J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, la terre est légère
et mon corps aussi, Dieu merci!
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, la route est légère
et mon pied aussi, Dieu merci!
Je n'ai rien demandé à la terre et rien aux buissons
Elle m'a donné ses fruits, ses sources et sa chanson
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma poche est légère
et ma bouche aussi, Dieu merci!
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma bouche est légère
et mon ventre aussi, Dieu merci!
Je n'ai demandé rien à l'aubergiste, à l'épicier
Le sel et le pain me sont offerts par ton amitié
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma femme est légère
et mon cœur aussi, Dieu merci!
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, sa robe est légère
et sa jambe aussi, Dieu merci!
Je n'ai demandé rien d'éternel à mon jeune amour
et c'est bien pour ça peut-être qu'il durera toujours
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma joie est légère
et ma peine aussi, Dieu merci!
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma nuit est légère
et mon rêve aussi, Dieu merci!
Je n'ai demandé rien à l'étoile du firmament
mais de temps en temps Dieu m'interpelle amicalement
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma vie est légère
et ma mort aussi, Dieu merci!
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma vie est légère
et ma mort aussi, Dieu merci!

Come Into The Garden


Come Into The Garden
Composer(s): Nick Drake
Performer(s): Nick Drake



In the bright red sky
In the heat of an evening
When only prisoners sleep
She said she couldn't
Come to the garden
See an old man wheel

She said her dreams
What too far to be thought of

As scars too white to view
She said she couldn't
Come to the garden
See a blind man kneel

She sailed away
To a blue horizon
In floating thoughts she'd sway
She said she couldn't
Come to the garden
See an old man pray

She wished them luck
As they left on their journey

Maybe she'd join them soon
But she lost her grip
At the tip of life's finger
Went home and worshipped the moon

I Don't Wanna Know


I Don't Wanna Know
Composer(s): Phil Collins; Daryl Stuermer
Performer(s): Phil Collins



It's over, oh yes it's all over
And it's been a long time coming
Some say it's too long
She said it, and now she'll regret it
But if she'd ask anyone
I know they'll tell her to her face, that it's too late

Cos I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
She can cry all she wants
She's not gonna bring me back, no no
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
She can try all she wants
It's not gonna get me back, oh oh, no no

They warned me
Oh yes they all warned me
They told me, don't lose your heart to her
She'll never give it back, no no
Oh it's too late
She made a big mistake
It wouldn't be the first one anyway
Tell me how many more, no no no

No I don't wanna know (what she said)
No I don't wanna know (what she said)
She can cry all she wants
She's not gonna bring me back, no no
I don't wanna know (what she said)
No I don't wanna know (what she said)
She can try all she wants
It's not gonna get me back, oh oh, no no

It's over
Oh oh it's all over
And it's been a long time coming
Some say it's too long, oh oh
They warned me
Yes they all warned me
They told me, now don't lose your head to her
She'll never give it back, no no, no no

I don't wanna know (what she said)
No I don't wanna know (what she said)
She can cry all she wants
She's not gonna get me back, no no
I don't wanna know (what she said)
No I don't wanna know (what she said)
She can try all she wants
She's not gonna bring me back, no no...

Jerkin' Crocus


Jerkin' Crocus
Composer(s): Ian Hunter
Performer(s): Mott The Hoople



Old man Tyler had a crash in his car down on the fortune highway
Doctor said it was his cruel sick heart didn't go to church on Sunday
Oh your pace is going to knock you dead
Out of the race you got time to spare
Jerkin' Crocus is the cause of the cross you bear
Didn't you wish you were there
I know what she want
Just a lick of your ice cream cone
I know what you say
Pappas in bed well hey hey hey

When he got stuck with a hole in his head she asked to try it my way
Get down low with all that haughty jive you don't know what it's like babe
Oh oh oh it's getting down around here
I got nothing to hide I'm to tired to fear
Jerkin' Crocus didn't kill me but she sure came near
She's a nads puller
I know what she want
A judo hold on a black mans balls
I know what you think
Ease over baby going to rock that thing
Alright!
I know what she want
Just a lick of your ice cream cone
I know what you say
Pappas in bed well hey hey hey
I know what she want
A judo hold on a black mans bones
I know what you think
Ease over baby going to rock that thing
Alright!
C'mon Jerkin'
C'mon Jerkin'
I know
No no no no
Alright!
I know
That's better
No no no no
That's much better

To The Ends Of The Earth


To The Ends Of The Earth
Composer(s): Joe Sherman - Noel Sherman
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and multiple other artists



To the ends of the earth I’ll follow my star
To the ends of the earth just to be where you are
No matter where you roam I’ll never be far behind
Who cares where the path may wind
As long as I find you
Though the melody dies, the song lingers on
And a thousand goodbyes won’t convince me you’re gone
I’ll follow you, my love, you’ll never be free
To the ends of the earth till you’ve given your love to me

I Don't Wanna Grow Up


I Don't Wanna Grow Up
Italian Title: Non Voglio Crescere Più - 1994
Composer(s): Kathleen Brennan; Tom Waits
First release by: Tom Waits - 1992
Covered by multiple other artists



When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog that's
always changing things
Makes wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever want to be that way
I don't wanna grow up
Seems that folks turn into things
that they never want
The only thing to live for is today...
I'm gonna put a hole in my T.V. set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinkin all night
I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on grand street
When I see the 5 oclock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float on a broom
Fall in love, get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up

Jericho


Jericho
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell; K.D. Lang



I'll try to keep myself open up to you

That's a promise that I made to love
When it was new
"just like jericho" I said
"let these wall come tumbling down"
I said it like I finally found the way
To keep the good feelings alive
I said it like it was something to strive for

I'll try to keep myself open up to you
And approve your self expression
I need that, too
I need your confidence, baby
And the gift of your extra time
In turn I'll give you mine
Sweet darling, it's a rich exchange
It seems to me
It's a warm arrangement!

Anyone will tell you
Just how hard it is to make and keep a friend
Maybe they'll short sell you
Or maybe it's you
Judas, in the end
When you just can no longer pretend
That you're getting what you need
Or you're giving out anything for them to grow and feed on

I'll try to keep myself open up to you
It gets easier and easier to do
Just like jericho
Let these walls come tumbling down now
Let them fall right on the ground
Let all these dogs go running free
The wild and the gentle dogs
Kenneled in me

Vasten Auringon Siltaa
((Adapted from: Alle Porte Del Sole (Gigliola Cinquetti) - 1973))
((English Version: Door Of The Sun (Gigliola Cinquetti) - 1973))
Composer(s): Corrado Conti - Lorenzo Pilat - Mario Panzeri - Daniele Pace - Chrisse Johansson
Performer(s): Katri Helena - 1975



Ylle meren ja hiekan
alle lokkien viitan
sinut ajatuksissani vien
ja toivon että suudelma
tuo sieluni rantaan
sen otatko vastaan
sen sinulle voisinko antaa
kuin ainoan tähden

Niin paljon mä tunnen
vaan kenet syliini suljen
mä kenelle antaa nämä tunteeni saan

Vasten auringon siltaa
säteet myöhäiseen iltaan
sinut vierelleni tuon ja sulle hellyyteni suon
niin kuin tuhannet kerrat kanssas ollut oon yksin
näin kun haaveissani kuljen
silmät tyhjyydeltä suljen

Vasten auringon siltaa
säteet myöhäiseen iltaan
sinut vierelleni tuon ja sulle hellyyteni suon
jäisit siihen ystäväin, jäisit siihen ystäväin

En kasvoja tunne
en nimeä kuule
en sanaakaan sano kun etsin sua itseäni vasten
niin nosuemme laivaan
ohi meren ja taivaan
sä heräisit
siinä mä oisin ja sanoisin
kulta, kulta, kulta, kulta

Niin paljon mä tunnen
sinut syliini suljen
onko kaikki mitä sanoa voin
mä olen vain sun

Vasten auringon siltaa
säteet myöhäiseen iltaan
sinut vierelleni tuon ja sulle hellyyteni suon
niin kuin tuhannet kerrat kanssas ollut oon yksin
näin kun haaveissani kuljen
silmät tyhjyydeltä suljen
silmät tyhjyydeltä suljen

Vasten auringon siltaa
säteet myöhäiseen iltaan
sinut vierelleni tuon ja sulle hellyyteni suon
jäisit siihen ystäväin, jäisit siihen ystäväin
on hyvä olla näin

Non Voglio Crescere Più


Non Voglio Crescere Più
Adapted from: I Don't Wanna Grow Up - 1992
Composer(s): Enrico Ruggeri; Tom Waits; Kathleen Brennan
Performer(s): Fiorella Mannoia - 1994



Se rimango dentro al letto sai
non voglio crescere più
non è questo il mondo adatto a noi
non voglio crescere più
parlatori in compagnia
non li ascolto più
troppe volte voglio andare via
ho pagato il conto e non ci sto
non voglio crescere più
se c' è un treno che non prenderò
non voglio crescere più
quei progetti che non so
che non farò mai
io scadenze lunghe non ne ho no no
non è la vita che mi cambierà non voglio crescere più
non è la vostra finta libertà
non voglio crescere più
io non voglio grasso ai fianchi
coi capelli tutti bianchi
quando il passo lento arranca
con le gambe sulla panca
io non cresco più
e mentre mamma grida con papà
non voglio crescere più
e questa notte lui non tornerà
non voglio crescere più
resto chiuso in casa mia
prima di ogni nostalgia
io non voglio prato croce e cosi sia
vedo un mondo piccolo
non voglio crescere più
il disegno è spicciolo
non voglio crescere più
il denaro è il crimine
se il lavoro è un limite
io non voglio collezioni
niente conti delle azioni
non coltivo un ambizione
cambio sempre convinzione
dentro ho solo una canzone
io non cresco più

Jeremías


Jeremías
Composer(s): Jorge Fandermole
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Jeremías
apretado de colores, sonreía
desgajado de sollozos
convirtiendo, trozo a trozo
la tristeza en alegría
Polvo y trapos
él se desprende de su alma a manotazos...
Que se rían en las gradas
de su pena enmascarada
que le devuelvan de su alma los pedazos
Hubo un tiempo de cielos claros
de vida que lo llevaba de la mano...
Y cobardeando, por lo bajo
se arrancó el amor de cuajo
e hizo de su carpa
su cielo de payaso
Madrugadas
son de lágrimas calientes en su almohada
que cuando el público pide sonreir
él llora y ríe
por su rosa de cachada
Muy a prisa
buscó el vuelo que le devolvió la risa
de trapecio y pista en sombra
de mil niños que lo nombran
de muerte que lo acaricia
Silencio
que envuelve gritos...
Y una niñá lo lloró
muy despacito...
Borró de miedo su intento
por volver a estar contento
y tener, del cielo azul
un pedacito

Un'anima avevo
così candida e pura
che forse per paura con te
l'amore non ho fatto mai
Cercavo le strade
più strane del mondo
invece da te si arrivava
per chiari sentieri
e adesso che sento
il tuo corpo vicino
io nel buio ti chiedo
di portarmi con te

Alle porte del sole
ai confini del mare
quante volte col pensiero
ti ho portato insieme a me
e nel buio sognavo
la tua mano leggera
Ogni porta che si apriva
mi sembrava primavera
Alle porte del sole
ai confini del mare
quante volte col pensiero
ti ho portato insieme a me
ti ho portato insieme a me
ti ho portato insieme a me

Che cosa mi dici?
Che cosa succede?
Mi dici di cercare una casa
per vivere insieme
un grande giardino
sospeso nel cielo
e mille bambini con gli occhi
dipinti d'amore
Allora i pensieri
non sono illusioni
allora è proprio vero che io
sto volando con te

Alle porte del sole
ai confini del mare
quante volte col pensiero
ti ho portato insieme a me
e nel buio sognavo
la tua mano leggera
Ogni porta che si apriva
mi sembrava primavera
Alle porte del sole
ai confini del mare
quante volte col pensiero
ti ho portato insieme a me
e nel buio sognavo
la tua mano leggera
Ogni porta che si apriva
mi sembrava primavera
Alle porte del sole
ai confini del mare
quante volte col pensiero
ti ho portato insieme a me
ti ho portato insieme a me
ti ho portato insieme a me
insieme a me

J'Entends Ta Voix


J'Entends Ta Voix
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



J'entends un monde au fond de moi
Qui vibre et gronde et plein d'émoi
J'entends mon coeur qui bat très fort
Et tout autour de moi chuchote
J'entends un bruit, j'entends un pas
Et puis j'entends ta voix

La porte s'ouvre à deux battants
Et je découvre coeur battant
Ton regard clair, tes cheveux d'or
Qui tombent sur tes joues pâlottes
J'entends ton rire et pour ma joie
Chérie j'entends ta voix
Elle déverse avec chaleur
Des mots qui bercent mon bonheur
Et des merveilles par mon oreille
Jusqu'à mon coeur
Elle me trouble brouille mes yeux
Et je vois double c'est merveilleux
Je suis grisé, je perds le nord
Pauvre amoureux, je deviens roi
Lorsque j'entends ta voix

Car ta voix mon amour
C'est le flot de bonheur
Qui soudain me parcourt
Et m'inonde le coeur
Je suis en un instant
Prêt à n'importe quoi
Lorsque j'entends ta voix

Je me sens tout à coup
Pris dans un tourbillon
J'ai envie de crier
De perdre la raison
De chanter à tue-tête
Et monter sur les toits
Lorsque j'entends ta voix

Dans le silence de nos jeux
Elle s'élance à petit feu
Et puis s'enflamme
Parle à mon âme
Et peu à peu
J'oublie la vie, le temps qui court
Pour la folie de notre amour
Et sur mon coeur quand je te tiens
Soudain je ne perçois plus rien
Car tout se tait autour de nous
La vie le monde et ses remous
Pour que résonne seul en moi
L'écho de ta voix

Door Of The Sun


Door Of The Sun
((Adapted from: Alle Porte Del Sole (Gigliola Cinquetti) - 1973))
((Finnish Version: Vasten Auringon Siltaa (Katri Helena) - 1975))
Composer(s): Corrado Conti - Lorenzo Pilat - Mario Panzeri - Daniele Pace - Norman Newell
Performer(s): Gigliola Cinquetti - 1973



I look in the mirror, but I look at a stranger
Can this be the sensible me who said he wouldn't fall in love
I suddenly saw you, and I knew there was danger
Why run away when I love you and want you forever
I know I'm a dreamer, but I don't want to wake up
Whenever you touch me I can fly to the sky

Alle porte del sole, ai confini del mare
Quante volte col pensiero, ti ho portato insieme a me
E nel buio sognavo, la tua mano leggera
Ogni porta che si apriva, mi sembrava primavera

Alle porte del sole, ai confini del mare
Quante volte col pensiero, ti ho portato insieme a me
Ti ho portato insieme a me, ti ho portato insieme a me

I look in the future, the golden tomorrows
As long as you're walking beside me, I'll always be a dreamer
As long as we're sharing, the smiles and the sorrows
Make everyday we're together, a day to remember
I have no illusions, just a heart full of lovin'
It's a wonderful world I know, whenever you're near

To the door of the sun, to the ends of the sea
I will travel anywhere as long as you are there with me
On the wings of the wind, in the arms of a storm
It is always summer weather, with your love to keep me warm

Alle porte del sole, ai confini del mare
Quante volte col pensiero, ti ho portato insieme a me
Ti ho portato insieme a me, ti ho portato insieme a me
Insieme a me

I Don't Wanna Be Tied


I Don't Wanna Be Tied
Composer(s): Bill Giant; Bernie Baum; Florence Kaye
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



I want my share of love, it might as well be known
But I ain't thinking of one girl to love alone
That ain't the way it's gonna be
I'm on my own and I am free
And I've been satisfied, so I don't wanna be tied

Somebody's loving arms can sure be sweet I've found
But I want no-one's arms to ever hold me down
Once I get caught inside a net I'm gonna run I bet
I'm gonna run and hide, I don't wanna be tied

I've seen lovers who were matched
They thought that love could stay
Once they cared and got attached, it seems
that love just slipped away
Don't want no claims on me,
don't want no chains that bind
As anyone could see
I say what's on my mind
Well there ain't nothing I conceal, I'm gonna play the field
The field of love is wide

I don't wanna be tied
The field of love is wide
I don't wanna be tied
The field of love is wide
I don't wanna be tied
I said I don't, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be tied
