Tonight Will Live


Tonight Will Live
Composer(s): Ned Washington - Agustín Lara
Performer(s): Dorothy Lamour; Bunny Berigan



Tonight, tonight will live forever
Tonight, tonight will vanish never
Heaven has hung the stars out in their places
This is the night for love and warm embraces
The leaves are wet, the breeze is tender
The scene is set for sweet surrender
Thousands of nights may come while we're together
But I know that tonight (hum)
Will live forever!

I Haven't Got Anything Better To Do


I Haven't Got Anything Better To Do
Composer(s): Lee Pockriss; Paul Vance
Performer(s): Astrud Gilberto
and multiple other artists



I never loved him, he never reached me
He was just someone, someone I knew
I think about him on alternate Thursdays
When I haven’t got anything better to do

He’s got a problem if he thinks I need him
I couldn’t care less now that we’re through
I only sit home and I wait for his phone call
When I haven’t got anything better to do

Wasn’t I awfully smart not to fall and break my heart
He never meant a thing to me, he’s gone
I’m glad, I’m free
And when he kissed me, no no he never moved me
Nothing fantastic, thrilling or new
So if I’m crying, I’m only crying
Cause I haven’t got anything better
No I haven’t got anything better
I haven’t got anything better to do…without you
I never loved him, no he never moved me
Nothing fantastic…

Jouez Bouzouki


Jouez Bouzouki
Composer(s): Sylvain Lebel;
Jean Kluger; Daniel Vangarde
Performer(s): Dalida



Hey!
Vous tous, où allez vous comme ça
Qu'es ce que c'est que tous ces cris de joies
Mais dis donc grand-père qu'es ce que tu fais là
À danser dans la rue comme Zorba
On dirait qu'il pleut là bas
Regarde le bon Dieu nous offre le champagne
C'est la fête à qui c'est le printemps de quoi
On en sais rien mais on y vas

Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Que l'hiver vole en éclat
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Pour moi
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
C'est la fête à qui voudras
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Pour moi

Il nous arrive de tous les cotés
Des gens qui n'avaient jamais dansés
Il y a des femmes en noir et en couleurs
Des enfants qui rient et des vieux qui pleurent
Tambourin, Guitare et Marimba
Le matin ne s'en remettra pas
C'est la fête à qui c'est le printemps de quoi

Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Que l'hiver vole en éclat
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Pour moi
C'est la fête à qui voudras
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Pour moi

Hey! Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Que l'hiver vole en éclat
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Pour moi
C'est la fête à qui voudras
Jouez Bouzouki, jouez Bouzouki
Pour moi

Tonight Will Be Alright
Composer(s): Lionel Richie
Performer(s): Lionel Richie



Little darling
Where you've been so long
I've been out here thinking about ya
And the feeling's real strong
Well the time has come to celebrate
You and me girl so sounds great
'Cause tonight will be alright
Oh baby

Little darling, come on
Let's take a ride
To a midnight honey town and set it on fire
We don't want to be mad
But we have to be cool
You and me girl
Let's break all the rules
'Cause tonight will be alright
Oh my baby, I'm gonna say it again
I can see us moving on
Down the highway
I can see us loving
Till our hearts desire
Anything you wanna do girl
You just tell me
'Cause it's alright, cause it's alright

Little darling, telling you no use
Keep me thinking about you honey
My soul's on fire
Well if you want me girl
And the games I play
Anything's alright, anything you say
'Cause tonight will be alright
Alright, baby I'll say it again, alright
Alright, alright, alright, baby
We gonna make it alright
You and me baby, alright

I Haven't Got The Nerve


I Haven't Got The Nerve
Composer(s): George Cameron; Steve Carmelo Martin
First release: The Left Banke - 1967
Covered by: Shane Faubert - 1999



I haven't got the nerve
I haven't got the nerve

to tell you our love is over
and to say I'm through with you
I can't take much more of you girl
you make all my days so blue

leave me lonely and forget me
days of may will soon be gone
girl I know you never loved me
It won't hurt to see me gone

I haven't got the nerve
I haven't got the nerve

I have realized a lot girl
since the day that we first met
I'm not like I used to be girl
I won't hide my fears no more

you won't hurt me anymore, girl
listen to these words and leave
there's no more love left inside me
Is not me that you deceive

Joue Pas De Rock 'N' Roll Pour Moi


Joue Pas De Rock 'N' Roll Pour Moi
Composer(s): Mike Chapman; Nicky Chinne
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Nous n'avons plus rien à nous dire
Je suis plus dur que tu ne crois
Ne te sers pas de souvenirs
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!

Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!

J'ai fait ce qu'un homme devait faire pour mériter ce nom
Mais le doute et la folie marchaient à tes cotés
Tu oses parler de ton retour et de nos souvenirs
Avec une voix qui grince comme un 45 tours usé
Chaque mot est un mensonge à travers un sourire

Nous n'avons plus rien à nous dire
Je suis plus dur que tu ne crois
Ne te sers pas de souvenirs
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!

Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!

Je crois que je vais rester sourd pendant très longtemps
Avec le sourire de la vengeance sur les lèvres
Les bras croisés sur 1e cœur qui bat de tous son sang
Les yeux tournés vers l'horizon d'où sortent les rêves
Demain tu hurleras tes mensonges dans le vent

Nous n'avons plus rien à nous dire
Je suis plus dur que tu ne crois
Ne te sers pas de souvenirs
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!

Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi
Joue pas de rock 'n roll pour moi, oh non!

Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You


Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release: Bob Dylan - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Throw my ticket out the window
Throw my suitcase out there, too
Throw my troubles out the door
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you

I should have left this town this morning
But it was more than I could do
Oh, your love comes on so strong
And I've waited all day long
For tonight when I'll be staying here with you

Is it really any wonder
The love that a stranger might receive
You cast your spell and I went under
I find it so difficult to leave

I can hear that whistle blowin'
I see that stationmaster, too
If there's a poor boy on the street
Then let him have my seat
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you

Throw my ticket out the window
Throw my suitcase out there, too
Throw my troubles out the door
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you

I Haven't Been Home For Three Whole Nights


I Haven't Been Home For Three Whole Nights
Performer(s): Spike Jones & His City Slickers



I haven't been home for three whole nights
Three whole nights, three whole nights
I haven't been home for three whole nights
Last night, tonight and tomorrow

Been having some fun for three whole nights
Three whole nights, three whole nights
Been having some fun for three whole nights
Last night, tonight and tomorrow

Now I lost my wife's last money
And I didn't care
But now I'm really worried
'Cause somebody's moved my house somewhere

I haven't been home for three whole nights
Three whole nights, practically a fortnight
I haven't been home for three whole nights
Last night, tonight and tomorrow

My wife, she up and left me
Yes, I guess she was provoked
She said I had bad habits
She couldn't stand a man who smoked

I haven't been home for three whole nights
Three whole nights, three whole nights
I haven't been home for three whole nights
Last night, tonight and... and yester... no, no
Last night, tonight and to... no, no
Well, it really doesn't matter
I'm going to get heck when I get home, anyway!

J'Oublierai Ton Nom


J'Oublierai Ton Nom
Composer(s): Michael Jones; Jean-Jacques Goldman
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday; Florent Pagny



De semaines inutiles en futiles dimanches
De secondes immobiles aux aiguilles qui penchent
J'oublierai ton nom

De quatre nouveaux murs dans un autre quartier
De pinceaux de peinture en meubles à installer
J'oublierai ton nom

De la piste suante à la dernière danse
De quelques nuits de feu aux matinées de cendres
De cette agitation dénuée de tout sens
Du fond de ma raison jusqu'à mon inconscience

De la main d'un ami au baiser d'une bouche
Tous ceux qui sauront lire que le mal a fait mouche
J'oublierai ton nom

J'oublierai ton nom
De mille façons
Et cette certitude
Me fait plus mal encore
J'aimais cette blessure
C'était toi encore

I know it's been tough
I've hurt you enough
But you'll never see
That I must be free
Forget my name

You'll find someone, somewhere
All your troubles to share
She'll wipe out the past
And fell at last
Forget my name

All the good and bad times
We've ever had
Will seem so far away
Will be lonely sad

There's hundreds of ways
To kill away the time
That's how you are made
You know you'll never be mine

De la main d'un ami
Au baiser d'une bouche
Tous ceux qui sauront lire
Que le mal a fait mouche
J'oublierai ton nom

J'oublierai ton nom
De mille façons
Et cette certitude
Me fait plus mal encore
J'aimais cette blessure
C'était toi encore

J'oublierai ton nom
De mille façons

Pour les mêmes raisons qui m'ont fait t'aimer
Parce qu'il fallait bien vivre avant d'oublier

J'oublierai ton nom
De mille façons
Et cette certitude
M'est la pire des morts
J'aimais cette blessure
C'était toi encore

J'oublirai ton nom

questo amore grande
che sentiamo in noi

I Have You


I Have You
Composer(s): Pete Nelson; Gene Nelson
Performer(s): Glen Campbell; Bridget Ball



Sailors have the seven seas and four strong winds that blow
drifters have the next town down the road
Gamblers have the chance to bet the ace that's in the hole
soldiers have the hope of coming home
and the flowers have the early April rain
believers have what they have never seen
and the dreamers have tomorrow if today does not come true
You have eyes that shine, and I have you
Heroes have their names engraved forever in a stone
hermits have their peace of mind alone
Lovers have each other and a small slice of the moon
God still bless the child who has his own
And the flowers have the early April rain
believers have what they have never seen
and the dreamers have tomorrow if today does not come true
you have eyes that shine, and I have you
The flowers have the early April rain
believers have what they have never seen
and the dreamers have tomorrow if today does not come true
You have eyes that shine, and I have you

J'Oublie


J'Oublie
Composer(s): Angela Denia Tarenzi; Astor Piazzolla
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



Lourds
Soudains semblent lourds
Les draps, les velours
De ton lit
Quand j'oublie
Jusqu'à notre amour

Lourds
Soudain semblent lourds
Tes bras qui m'entourent
Déjà dans la nuit
Un bateau part
S'en va quelque part
Des gens se séparent
J'oublie
J'oublie

Tard
Autre part
Dans un bar d'acajou
Des violons nous rejouent
Notre mélodie
(Mais j'oublie)
Tard
Dans ce bar
Dansant joue contre joue
Tout devient flou et j'oublie

Court
Le temps semble court
Le compte à rebours
De nos nuits
Quand j'oublie
Jusqu'à notre amour

Court
Le temps semble court
Quand tes doigts parcourent
Ma ligne de vie
Sans un regard
Des amants s'égarent
Sur un quai de gare
J'oublie
J'oublie

Tonight we love while the moon
Beams down in dream light tonight
We touch the stars
Love is ours
Night winds that sigh
Embrace the sky
Tonight we love in the glow
That glows so softly I know
This wasn't meant to borrow but tomorrow
Will it be gone
Or will it always live on
Tonight we love

I Have Waited So Long


I Have Waited So Long
Composer(s): Mick Jones
Performer(s): Foreigner



I have waited oh, so long
Please don't tell me baby I was wrong
Dreaming of you every night
Holding back until the time was right
I've counted the days, day after day
Since we've been apart
Now I've found my way, I've found my way
Right back to your heart
I've been searching for you every where
Calling you, but you were never there
Seeking in the dark of night
Hoping one day you would shine a light
I've counted each day, day after day
Since we've been apart
Now I've found my way, I've found my way
Right back to your heart
I have waited oh, so long
Please don't tell me baby I was wrong
Dreaming of you every night, every night, every night
Holding back until the time was right
Ooh, I have waited so long
Aah, don't tell me I was wrong
I dream of you, I'm dreaming of you baby
Don't go away

J'Ôte Le Veston


J'Ôte Le Veston
Composer(s): Pierre Roche; Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Je suis chatouilleux de nature
Je l'avoue j'ai le sang bouillant
Ça m'entraîne dans les aventures
Les plus cocasses évidemment
L'autre soir dans un café
Je me sens bousculé
Par qui, je ne sais pas
Il était derrière moi
D'un bond je me lève, hors de moi

J'ôte le veston, le gilet, la cravate
Car aux entournures je n'aime pas être gêné
Ce n'est vraiment pas pour vous faire de l'épate
Mais j'ai horreur qu'on me marche sur les pieds
Alors je crie d'une voix de tonnerre
Celui qu'a fait ça peut compter ses osselets
Il se réveillera de main à Lariboisière
Qu'il approche si ce n'est pas un dégonflé
Je vois venir un mousse, une armoire
Une masse informe dans les deux cents kilos
Avec des mains larges comme des battoirs
Toutes prêtes à filer des ramponneaux
Avant qu'il me touche je m'étais débiné

Je dois l'avouer, de nature
Je suis extrêmement amoureux
Et j'adore les aventures
Qui me rendent très vaniteux
L'autre jour je vois passer
Une femme, une beauté
Marchant à petits pas
L'attaque cela va de soi
Chez elle je fais comme chez moi

J'ôte le veston, le gilet, la cravate
Car aux entournures je n'aime pas être gêné
Ce n'est vraiment pas pour vous faire de l'épate
Pour une beauté, c'était une beauté
Elle paraissait follement amoureuse
Sue le divan elle était allongée
Elle prenait des poses si langoureuses
Que même un saint se serait laisser damner
Je m'approchais, j'étais sûr de moi-même
Bombant le torse comme un vrai conquérant
Mais au moment de me dire je t'aime
Elle dit pour toi ce sera cinq cents francs
En un clin d'oeil je me suis rhabillé
Avant de l'aimer je m'étais débiné

Un jour plein de mélancolie
Déçu de tout même de l'amour
Je voulus arrêter ma vie
Et pour mettre fin à mes jours
Je voulais un revolver
Mais ça coûtait trop cher
Le gaz ça sent pas bon
Je préfère un plongeon
Je me prépare au grand bouillon

J'ôte le veston, le gilet, la cravate
Car aux entournures je n'aime pas être gêné
Je ne sais pas nager, y'a pas de raison que je me rate
Pour en finir je n'ai donc qu'à plonger
Je veux mourir, j'en suis sûr, mais quand même
Faut que je prends mon courage à deux mains
En essayant de me passer de la troisième
Tout à rater car je manquais d'entrain
Alors afin d'avoir plus de courage
Je suis entré dans un petit bistro
J'ai bu, j'ai bu tellement que j'enrage
Le goût de vivre m'est revenu subito
Tant bien que mal je me suis rhabillé
Et en zigzaguant je me suis débiné

Tonight She Comes


Tonight She Comes
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars; Action Action



I know tonight she comes
She's taken a swipe at fun
She gives me a reason
The sight in my sights
Well I know tonight she comes

She channels me up
She does it with ease
And sometimes she passes through me
Just like a breeze
She gives me a reason
For feelin' alright, oh well
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) she comes

I know she goin' to do it to me
One more time
I know she gonna to stay implanted
In my mind
Why does she keep me hangin'
On the line

I know she goin' to do it to me
One more time (one more time)
I know she gonna to stay implanted
In my mind
Oh, why does she keep me hangin'
On the line, oh yeah

I know the way that she feels
And all of the hearts that she steals
She tells me it's easy
When you do it right, oh well
Well I know tonight she comes

She tells me it's easy
When you do it right
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) she comes

I know tonight (I know tonight)
Oh yeah (I know tonight)
Well, I know tonight

I Have Lived


I Have Lived
French & Italian Titles: J'ai Vécu; Ho Vissuto
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Hirshhorn
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



When I take a one-way ticket to the road of no return
on a journey every man must make some day
When it's time to meet the Father
and explains my sins away
I will tell him, yes I'll tell him I have lived

I have lived each single moment as a man of flesh and blood
with my soul and all my senses open wide
I have lived and tasted everything that called out to be tried
and afraid of either heaven or of hell
never caring if I had a soul to sell

I was no more optimistic than my fellow man would be
I have always been an artist, not a saint
Now the moonlights are dimming
no more costumes, no more paint
I admit that I was selfish, I have lived

I have lived a life of running, after joy and happiness
with a new dream always tearing at my heart
Oh my Lord, I should have thought of my salvation at the start
but on Earth so many mornings I was told
you would take a sinner back into the fall

If my reasons seem too fragile and my words have no effect
and forgiveness is the one thing I must win
I'll explain my live and show you all I am and all I've been
and I'll say for my defence that I have lived

I have lived with soul on fire, with desire in my skin
in the name of all the women I have known
I have worshipped every shrine of love and if I must at all
I'll be ready then to kneel and pay the price
for the yesterdays I spent in Paradise

I have lived my life

Josie (Steely Dan)


Josie
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan



We're gonna break out the hats and hooters
When Josie comes home
We're gonna rev up the motor scooters
When Josie comes home to stay
We're gonna park in the street
Sleep on the beach and make it
Throw down the jam till the girls say when
Lay down the law and break it
When Josie comes home

When Josie comes home
So good
She's the pride of the neighborhood
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire

Jo would you love to scrapple
She'll never say no
Shine up the battle apple
We'll shake 'em all down tonight
We're gonna mix in the street
Strike at the stroke of midnight
Dance on the bones till the girls say when
Pick up what's left by daylight
When Josie comes home

When Josie comes home
So bad
She's the best friend we ever had
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire

When Josie comes home
So good
She's the pride of the neighborhood
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire

I Have Found The Lord


I Have Found The Lord
French Title: J'ai Trouvé Le Seigneur
Performer(s): Jeanine Deckers (aka The Singing Nun)



I found the Lord on the shore
I found the Lord in the pearly shells

Little boat on the waters
Sail away, sail away
Little boat on the waters
Take my soul to the sky

I found the Lord in the breeze
I found the Lord
In the misty wind

Little boat on the waters
Sail away, sail away
Little boat on the waters
Take my soul to the sky

I found the Lord in the sand
I found the Lord
in the dreamy swells

Little boat on the waters
Sail away, sail away
Little boat on the waters
Take my soul to the sky

I found the Lord in the mist
I found the Lord
In the sunset on the dunes
