And somehow I know I'll be strong.

 Not like it hurt me be-fore.

For once I have something, I know won't de-sert me;

 I'm not a-lone any-more.


[Chorus 2]

    G           G6           Gaug
For once, I can say; this is mine you can't take it;
   C                     A7
As long as I know I have love; I can make it.

Verse 1

G            Em   
It's all because of you,
G            Em
I'm feeling sad and blue
G          Bm
You went away,
Em                  D
Now my life is just a rainy day 
G               Am7
and I love you so,
C                B7
How much you'll never know
Em            C  Bm Am7 G C
You've gone away and left me lonely.

Verse 2

G            Em   
Untouchable memories
G            Em   
Seem to keep haunting me
G          Bm
Another love so true,
Em                  D7
That once turned all my gray skies blue
G               Am7
But you disappeared,

Now my eyes are filled with tears
Em            C  Bm   Am7 G G7
And I'm wishing you were here

Bridge
C                        G                  G7
With me soaked with love all my thoughts of you

Now that you're gone I just don't know what to do


Verse 3 (repeat of above chords)


If only you were here,
You'd wash away my tears
The sun would shine,
Once again you'll be mine all mine
But in reality, you and I will never be cos
You took your love away from me.

Chorus

Girl, I don't know what I did to make you leave me
But what I do know is
That since you've been gone there's such an emptiness inside,
I'm wishing you to come back to me.

If only you were here,
You'd wash away my tears
The sun would shine,
Once again you'll be mine all mine
But in reality,
You and I will never be cos
You took your love away from me.
Oh -- Baby you took your love away from me.

C'est si bon
                    D   Bm
De partir n'importe ou

Bras dessus bras dessous
                    Em   A
En chantant des chansons


         Em   A
C'est si bon
                    D   Bm
De se dire des mots doux
                   Em   A 
Des petits rien du tout
                   D
Mais qui en disent long


      F         Bb
En voyant notre mine ravie

Ca vaut mieux qu'un million,
                           D
c'est tell'ment, tell'ment bon.

-----in english-----------

C'est si bon 
Lovers say that in France 
When they thrill to romance 
It means that it's so good 

C'est Si Bon
So I say it to you 
Like the French people do 
Because it's oh so good.
Every word, every sigh, every kiss, dear, 
Leads to only one thought 
And the thought is this, dear!

C'est Si Bon
Nothing else can replace 
Just your slyest embrace 
And if you only would
Be my own for the rest of my days 
I will whisper this phrase 
My darling, my darling
C'est si bon!
------------------------



French Lyrics:

C'est si bon,
De partir n'importe où,
Bras dessus bras dessous,
En chantant des chansons,
C'est si bon,
De se dire des mots doux -
De petit rien du tout -
Mais qui en disent long.

En voyant notre mine ravie
Les passants dans la rue, nous envient C'est si bon, De guetter dans ses yeux Un espoir merveilleux Qui donne le frisson C'est si bon Ces petit's sensations ça vaut mieux qu'un million. C'est tell'ment, tell'ment bon Voilà C'est bon Les passants dans la rue Bras dessus bras dessous En chantant des chansons Quel espoir merveilleux Uummm - C'est bon.
Je cherche un millionnaire Avec des grands "Cadillac car" "Mink coats" - Des bijoux Jusqu'au cou, tu sais? C'est bon Cette petit' sensation Ou peut-être quelqu'un avec un petit yacht, no? Aahhh C'est bon C'est bon, C'est bon Vous savez bien que j'attendrai quelqu'un qui pourrait m'apporter beaucoup de "loot." Ce soir?, Demain?, La semaine prochain ? N'importe quand.
Uummm - C'est bon - si bon Il sera très - crazy, no? Voilà, c'est tell'ment bon ! English Lyrics: It's so good, Just wandering around, Arm in arm, arm in arm, And Singing songs. It's so good, To whisper sweet words - , Little nothings, But little nothing that can be said again and again. Seeing our love-struck expression The passers-by in the street envy us. It's so good, To see shining in her eyes A marvelous promise That sendsa shivers up and down my spine. The're so good These little thrills That are worth more than a million It's so very, very good. It's Good - Yes, It's good The passers-by in the street - Arm in arm, arm in arm - Singing songs - What a marvelous promise Uummm - It's good. I'm looking for a millionaire With big Cadillac cars Mink coats - jewels As big as your fist - you know? It's good This little feeling - Perhaps someone with a little yacht, no? Aahhh it's good - it's good - so good- You know I'm waiting for someone who can give me plenty of loot. Tonight? - Tomorrow?- Next Week? Dosen't matter when. Uummm - It's so good - so good It will be very crazy, no? It's very good!

Something Cool - June Christy



JUNE CHRISTY



Something cool
I'd like to order something cool
It's so warm here in town
And this heat gets me down
Yes I'd like something cool

My it's nice, to simply sit and rest awhile
I know it's a shame
I can't think of your name
But I remember your smile
I don't ordinarily drink
With strangers
I just usually drink alone
But you were so very nice to ask me
And I'm so terribly far from home.

Like my dress? I must confess
It's very old.
But it's simple and neat
And just right for this heat.
Save my furs for the cold.
A cigarette, no , I don't smoke them
As a rule
But, I'll have one, it might be fun
With something

I'll bet you wouldn't imagine
But I one-time had a house
With so many rooms
I couldn't count them all
And I'll bet you couldn't imagine
But I had fifteen different beaus
Who would beg and beg to take me to a ball
And I'll bet you wouldn't picture me
The time I went to Paris in the fall
Oh who would think the man I loved
Was quite so handsome, quite so tall.
Well, it's through.
It's just a memory I had.
One I'd almost forgot
'cause the weather's so hot
And I'm feeling so bad
About a date
Oh wait, I'm such a fool
He's just a guy who stopped to buy me
Something cool

So Many Stars - Sergio Mendez, Stacey Kent and others



The dark is filled with dreams
So many dreams which one is mine
One must be right for me
Which dream of all the dreams
When there's a dream for every star
And there are oh so many stars
So many stars

The wind is filled with songs
So many songs which one is mine
One must be right for me
Which song of all the songs
When there's a song for every star
And there are oh so many stars, so many stars

Along the countless days, the endless nights
That I have searched so many eyes
So many hearts, so many smiles
Which one to choose, which way to go, how can I tell
How will I know, out of, oh
So many stars, so many stars

Yes, the wind is filled with songs, so many songs
Which one is mine, one must be right for me
Which song of all the songs
When there's a song for every star
And there are, oh, so many stars, so many stars

Along the countless days, the endless nights
That I have searched so many eyes
So many hearts, so many smiles
Which one to choose, which way to go, how can I tell
How will I know, out of, oh, so many stars
So many stars
(So many stars)
Oh, so many stars
(So many stars)
Oh, there are so many stars
(So many stars)
Lots and lots of stars, oh so many
(So many)
Oh, so many

So many, many
