Tonight You're Gonna Fall In Love With Me


Tonight You're Gonna Fall In Love With Me
Performer(s): The Shirelles



They say that you will never settle down
They say that you just have to run around
But they don't realize you're in for a big surprise
Tonight you're gonna fall in love with me

I'm gonna treat you like you're a king (you're a king)
To win your lovin' I'll do anything (anything)
I'm gonna treat you fine, I'm gonna make you mine
Tonight you're gonna fall in love with me

All the girls are after you, it really shows (that you know)
But tonight I'll hold you tight & you will be (he will be)
In love with me (in love with me)

Before you know it, you will be my guy (be my guy)
My friends will turn their heads when we walk by (we walk by)
One kiss will be the start, one kiss will win your heart

(repeat):
Tonight you're gonna fall in love with me...

I hear a dream all day
The dream that calls to me
Come home again you sailor man, sailor man
Home again to the sea
Where my goal is who can tell
Fare thee well my darling, adieu
While my soul is on the blue
My heart’s with you
I hear a dream all day
A dream that calls to me
Come home again you sailor man, sailor man
Home again where you should be

Jours De Lumière


Jours De Lumière
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



En ce temps là nous aurions décroché la lune
Pour gagner l'tour gratuit au manège de la vie
Nous flânions en chemin, nous chantions pour des prunes
Cueillant de ci de là le sourire d'une fille

C'était encore le temps des émotions primaires
On s'emplissait les yeux d'un couché de soleil
Nous n'avions ni le goût, ni le sens des affaires
Mais un sens de la vie qui n'a plus son pareil
Comme avant, comme avant
En ces jours de lumières
J'aimerais tant retrouver
Les parfums oubliés
Des bonheurs ordinaires
En ces jours de lumière

C'était aussi le temps des amitiés sans faille
Prêts pour tous les départs ensemble à l'arrivée
Nous étions deux amis et qu'importait la taille
Nous étions deux géants, nous étions une armée

Comme avant, comme avant
En ces jours de lumière
J'aimerais tant retrouver les parfums oubliés
Des bonheurs ordinaires
En ces jours de lumière
Nous avions tous les pouvoirs
Dans nos solitudes d'or
Nous gardions tous nos espoirs
Nous ne rampions pas encore
En ces jours de lumière, en ces jours de lumière
En ces jours de lumière...

Et nous passions les nuits à retoucher le monde
Et au petit matin, nous avions tout compris
Nous avions les idées, nous avions la faconde
Tout devait être beau, il suffisait d'un "si"
Comme avant, comme avant
En ces jours de lumière
J'aimerais tant retrouver
Les parfums oubliés
Des bonheurs ordinaires
Comme avant, comme avant
En ces jours de lumière
J'aimerais tant retrouver
Les parfums oubliés
Des bonheurs ordinaires

Tonight You Belong To Me


Tonight You Belong To Me
Performer(s): Patience & Prudence



I know (I know)
You belong - to somebody new
But Tonight you belong to me...
Although (Although)
We're apart - you're part of my heart...
And tonight you belong to me...
Way down by the stream...
How sweet it will seem...
Once more just to dream
In the moonlight...
My honey I know...
With the dawn... that you will be gone...
But tonight you belong to me...
Way down way down along the stream...
How very very sweet it will seem...
Once more just to dream in the silvery moonlight...
My honey I know...
With the dawn... that you will be gone...
But tonight you belong to me...
Just to little old me...

I Hear A Call To Arms


I Hear A Call To Arms
Composer(s): Sam Coslow; Al Siegel
Performer(s): Dorothy Lamour



When you blow that horn you thrill me
To the marrow of my bones you chill me
There it goes, I hear a call to arms
La-de-da-de-da
Oh the bliss each note expresses
Reaching out to me like soft caresses
There it goes, I hear a call to arms

And even though you go
And this romantic glow may fade
One dream you'll never sever
`cos when you're gone
I'll hear your serenade
Echoing in my heart forever

Blow it, slow and low and tender
Let my soul respond in sweet surrender
There it goes, I hear a call to arms

And even though you go
And this romantic glow may fade
One dream you'll never sever
`cos when you're gone
I'll hear your serenade
Echoing in my heart forever

Blow it, slow and low and tender
Let my soul respond in sweet surrender
There it goes, I hear a call to arms

Journey's End


Journey's End
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Pappy Stewart
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
Bill Monroe; Jimmie Skinner



Each night brings back my dreams of you
I cry and cry I feel so blue
You broke my heart so why pretend
Because the sign ahead reads journeys end

Chorus:
River rollin’ along…
Skies are turnin’ gray
Clouds are movin’ in…
I’ve lost my way
I try to smile…
But why pretend
Because the sign ahead…
Reads journey’s end

Ah come in Billy Byrd…

Sitting all alone beneath the stars
I’m wondering where on earth you are
Thinking of things that might have been
But the sign ahead… reads journey’s end

Chorus:
River rollin’ along…
Skies are turnin’ gray
Clouds are movin’ in…
I’ve lost my way
I try to smile…
But why pretend
Because the sign ahead…
Reads journey’s end

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

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
