I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know
I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know
Composer(s): Al Kooper
First release by: Blood, Sweat & Tears - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
If I ever leave you
You can say I told you so
If I ever hurt you baby
You know I hurt myself as well
Is that any way for a man to carry on
You think he wants
his little loved one gone
I love you baby
more than you'll ever know
more than you'll ever know
When I wasn't making too much money
You knew where my paycheck went
You know I brought it home to baby
And I never spent one red cent
Is that any way for a man to carry on
You think he wants
his little loved one gone
I love you baby
more than you'll ever know
more than you'll ever know
I'm not trying to be any kinds of a man
I'm trying to be somebody
you can love trust and understand
I know that I could be yeah a part of you
that no one else could see
I just got to hear you say
It's alright yeah yeah yeah
I'm only flesh and blood
But I could be everything
that you demand
I could be president
of General Motors baby huh
or just a tiny little grain of sand
Is that any way for a man to carry on
You think he wants
his little loved one gone
I love you baby, I love you baby
I love you more than you will ever know

Just Like That
Just Like That
Dutch Title: 't Is Te Gek
Performer(s): ABBA
Until that day
My life had been a river
Following a safe predestinated course
Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly
With uncompromising force
My strongholds broke down
all too easily
I remember well
how it did embarrass me
I hung on to his every smile
Marveled at his style
(chorus)
Just like that
He walked into my house
as smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I led him on
Knowing that someday
He would be gone
Just like that
As though he'd only
stopped a while for a chat
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
And once again
The river's flowing slowly
following its safe and uneventful course
Now the tears have dried
It's become a pleasant break
I recall without remorse
But now and then I wonder where he is
And I will admit
He had something that I miss
I guess he was a rolling stone
The only one I've known

Tower Song
Tower Song
Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt
First release: Townes Van Zandt - 1970
So close and yet so far away
And all the things I'd hoped to say
Will have to go unsaid today
Perhaps until tomorrow
Your fears have built a wall between
Our lives and all what loving means
Will have to go unfelt it seems
And that leaves only sorrow
You built your tower strong and tall
Can't you see, it's got to fall someday
You close your eyes and speak to me
Of faith and love and destiny
As distant as eternity
From truth and understanding
The wind blows cold outside your door
It whispers words I've tried before
But you don't hear me anymore
Your pride's just too demanding
You built your tower strong and tall
Can't you see, it's got to fall someday
The end is coming soon it's plain
A warm bed just ain't worth the pain
And I will go and you'll remain
With the bitterness we've tasted
A mother's breast, a newborn child
A poet's tear and drunken smile
I can't help feelin' all the while
Their meaning won't be wasted
You built your tower strong and tall
Can't you see, it's got to fall someday

I Love You More And More Every Day
I Love You More And More Every Day
Composer(s): Don Robertson
Performer(s): Al Martino
and multiple other artists
I love you more and more every day
They said our love was just emotion
That time would slowly fade away
But time's just deepened my devotion
I love you more and more every day
The day you made those tender vows beside me
My joy was more than words could ever say
And, darling, still it grows and grows inside me
I love you more and more every day
The day you made those tender vows beside me
My joy was more than words could ever say
And, darling, still it grows and grows inside me
I love you more and more every day
I love you more and more every day

(Just Like) Starting Over
(Just Like) Starting Over
Composer(s): John Lennon
Performer(s): John Lennon;
and various other artists
Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone
It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over
Everyday we used to make it love
Why can't we be making love nice and easy
It's time to spread our wings and fly
Don't let another day go by my love
It'll be just like starting over, starting over
Why don't we take off alone
Take a trip somewhere far, far away
We'll be together all alone again
Like we used to in the early days
Well, well, well darling
It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over
Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere
Starting over

((Adapted from: Tower Of Strength (Gene McDaniels With The Johnny Mann Singers) - 1961))
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard - Burt Bacharach - Mogol
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano - 1962
Io che ho pianto per te
pregandoti
di stare con me
mi pento, perché
non ti voglio
non ti amo
non ti credo e perciò
stai lontana da me
non cercarmi perché
ho capito chi sei
e le strade sono piene di donne
uguali a te...
Ed io che vivevo per te
scordandomi
chi pianse per me
mi pento, perché
non ti voglio
non ti amo
non ti credo e perciò
s'è ormai chiusa per me
questa storia perché
io ritorno da chi
già sapeva che sarebbe finita
solo così...

Composer(s): Bob Hilliard - Burt Bacharach
First release: Gene McDaniels With The Johnny Mann Singers - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists
If I were a tower of strength, I'd walk away
I'd look in your eyes and here's what I'd say
"I don't want you, I don't need you, I don't love you any more"
And I'd walk out that door
You'd be down on your knees
You'd be calling to me-ee
But a tower of a-strength is a-something
I'll never be
If I were a tower of strength, I'd watch you cry
I'd laugh at your tears and tell you goodbye
"I don't want you, I don't need you, I don't love you any more"
And I'd walk out that door
You'd be down on your knees
You'd be calling to me-ee
But a tower of a-strength is a-something
I'll never be
"I don't want you, I don't a-need you, I don't love you any more"
And I'd walk out that door
You'd be down on your knees, ahh-huh
You'd be calling to me-ee-ee
But a tower of a-strength is a-something
I'll never be
Ooh, ooh, ooh...

I Love You Honey But I Hate Your Friends
I Love You Honey But I Hate Your Friends
Composer(s): Rick Nielsen
Performer(s): Cheap Trick
I love you honey but I hate your friends
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me
Oh yeah
I love you honey but I hate those friends
That fat cat Frank got a heart of gold
He's got a head of lead, he's young but he acts old
That limp wrested two-fisted diplomat
Better draw a map, to see where he's at
Around and round when he rambles on
About the latest deal we should be in on
We shouldn't give him the time of day
He doesn't give a damn if we sink or swim
I love you honey but I hate your friends
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me
Oh yeah
I love you honey but I hate your friends
Did some toot, yeah we had a blow
Look man, no holes, real nose
When he says hi he really means the moon
He was there long before Armstrong
He stays loose, he says, fill her up
For eternal youth from those Swiss docs
He's thirty but he feels like sixteen
Check it out: yep, hundred-n-sixteen!
I love you honey but I hate your friends
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me
Oh yeah
I love you honey, let's dance
I love you honey but I hate your friends
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me
Oh yeah, yeah
I love you honey but I hate your friends
Let's see, there's Miss Tique and Miss Informed
General Disaster, Mister Know-it-all
Misses A Lot and Private Stock
Corporal punishment about to blow his mind
Mister Mock, Mister Completely
Miss de Plot, Miss Story
Mister Call, Mister De Gaulle
The ageing Mister Martin and that ain't all
I love you honey but I hate your friends
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me
Oh yeah
I love you honey but I hate those friends
I love you honey but I hate your friends
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me
Oh yeah
I love you honey but I hate your friends
I love you honey but I hate your friends
They love your money
But they'll be the end of me, oh yeah
I love you honey but I hate your friends

Just Like Paradise
Composer(s): David Lee Roth; Brett Tuggle
Performer(s): David Lee Roth;
Derrick LeFevre; Nick Skitz; Les Vacances
Rockin' steady in her daddy's car
She got the stereo with the big guitars
And that's all right (all right)
I got the itch and a restless soul
She gone with the wind
Gonna go for broke tonight
And that's all night
Girl, we've been meant for this
Since we were born
No problems now (the coast is clear)
It's just the calm before the storm
This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't want to go home
Suzy, Suzy, girl, for cryin' out loud
You got all the right moves
You make me eat my heart out
Nightly and that's all right with me!
No special favors make it out to cash
We'll spend it later
Got to make this romance last that's it, that's it
Some folks say `easy come is easy go'
(And some folks say)
But one night ain't enough for me
Girl, hang on tight and don't let go
This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't want to go home

Toutes Ses Heures Loin De Toi
Toutes Ses Heures Loin De Toi
Composer(s): P. Collins - Didier Barbelivien
Performer(s): Dalida
Nous avons ensemble des moments bleus
Des heures de magie amoureuse
Quand tu glisses ta main dans mes cheveux c'est fou
Et quand tu m'embrasses au coin des yeux c'est doux
Nous avons toujours des rendez-vous
Des instants de soleil entre nous
Et quand tu m'appelles je viens toujours
Sans demander pourquoi
J'ai tellement besoin de te retrouver à moi
Car toutes ces heures loin de toi
Etaient comme cent jours d'exil
Comme une année passée sur l'Himalaya
Comme un été sans cerises
Oui toutes ces heures loin de toi
Etaient comme cent jours d 'exil
J'ai eu peur sans toi de cette solitude
Quand la nuit est sur la ville
Dis-moi des mots d'amour
Dis-moi encore que nous revivrons toujours
Des nuits d'amour dans la poussière d'or
Des cœurs à cœurs corps à corps
J'ai tellement besoin de te retrouver à moi
Car toutes ces heures loin de toi
Etaient comme une prison grise
Car toutes ces heures loin de toi
Etaient comme cent jours d'exil
J'ai eu peur sans toi de cette solitude
Quand la nuit est sur la ville
Oui toutes ces heures loin de toi
Etaient comme une prison grise
Comme une année passée sur l'Himalaya
Comme un été sans cerises
Oui toutes ces heures loin de toi

First recording/First release by: Bill Anderson - 1964/1965
Covered by multiple other artists
They're not teardrops just sincere drops they're I love you drops 'cause I love you
They were on my pillow when I woke up this morning
They were on the letter I tried all day to write
And just a little while ago I saw them falling on your picture as I kissed it goodnight
I love you drops I miss you drops hurry home drops you've been gone so long drops
They're not teardrops just sincere drops that say I'm lonesome and I love you
Never knew this heart could hurt the way it hurts for you
Never lived so many lifetimes in a week
Why don't you come back to me the way you said you would
And kiss these softly little crystals off my cheek
I love you drops...

It's just like me to say to you
Love me do, and I'll be true
But what I'd like for you to say
Is you'll come home to me each day

And fall so much in love with you
Oh, oh, oh
It's just like me

But it's just like you to say goodbye
And leave me all alone and cryin', waah!

Love me do, and I'll be true
But what I'd like for you to say

La la la la la la...
Toutes les nuits
Toutes les nuits je fais le même rêve
Toutes les nuits c'est de toi que je rêve
Tu es à moi et moi je suis blottie près de toi
Oh oh oh
Au creux de tes bras
Toutes les nuits jusqu'au jour qui se lève
Toutes les nuits tu viens frôler mes lèvres
Et le bonheur
Eclate comme un grand feu de joie
Oh oh oh dans mon cœur
Quand je m'éveille sans toi
Je suis triste parfois
Mais cela vraiment ne dure pas
Car dès que revient le soir
C'est un nouvel espoir
Qui bientôt me rapproche de toi
La la la la la la...
Toutes les nuits c'est de toi que je rêve
Toutes les nuits je fais le même rêve
Sachant qu'un jour
C'est près de moi que tu rêveras
Waoh, waoh, waoh
Mon amour
La la la la la la...

I Love You Darlin'
I Love You Darlin'
Composer(s): Milne; Roberts
Performer(s): Michael Holliday
A simple life, a simple life
A simple life is just the life for me
Don't mix with high-falutin' company
But when my little chick whispers
Love you darlin', love you darlin'
That's enough for me
I've got no time for smarty-party stuff
And maybe I'm considered kinda rough
But when my little chick whispers
Love you, oh I love you darlin'
That's more than enough
I've got the wide open sky I can sing to
I've got a girl of my own I can cling to
I must confess I'm lucky, yes indeed
My happiness is always guaranteed
'cause when my little chick whispers
Love you, Oh oh I love you darlin'
That's just all I need
(whistling)
But when my little chick whispers
Love you darlin', love you darlin'
That's more than enough
I've got the wide open sky I can sing to
I've got a cute little girl of my own I can cling to
I must confess I'm lucky, yes indeed
My happiness is always guaranteed
'cause when my little chick whispers
Love you darlin', love you darlin'
That's just all I need
Got a simple life
Got a simple life
Got a simple life
It's all I really need

J'ai le cœur perdu dans les étoiles
Et par vague j'ai du vague à l 'âme
Quand je met les voiles
Vers aucune escale,Vers aucune halte, vers aucun repos
Tant de fois j'ai cru perdre mon âme
Tant de fois je suis restée en rade
Je pose mes armes les yeux pleins de larmes
En criant le nom de l'homme qui est dans ma peau
Toutes les femmes du monde
Toutes les femmes du monde
Toutes les femmes du monde
On fait comme moi je crois oui
Toutes les femmes du monde
Toutes les femmes du monde
Toutes les femmes du monde
On fait comme moi je crois
La vie est un éternel voyage
L'amour est un éternel naufrage
Chaque homme qui passe
Vous marque et vous casse
On ne sait jamais sur quel cœur on doit planter son drapeau
Toutes les femmes du monde
Toutes les femmes du monde
Toutes les femmes du monde
On fait comme moi je crois oui
