Yesterday, when I was young

Imagen
  Versión inglesa del clásico francés Hier encore, de Georges Garvarentz y Charles Aznavour de 1964. Letra Yesterday, when I was young The taste of life was sweet Like rain upon my tongue I teased at life as if It were a foolish game The way an evening breeze Would tease a candle flame The thousand dreams I dreamed The splendid things I planned I always built to last On weak and shifting sand I lived by night and shunned The naked light of day And only now I see How the years have ran away Yesterday, when I was young There were so many songs That waited to be sung So many wild pleasures That lay in store for me And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see I ran so fast that time And youth at last ran out I never stopped to think What life was all about And every conversation That I can recall Concerns itself with me And nothing else at all Trumpet## Yesterday, the moon was blue And every crazy day Brought something new to do And I used my magic age As if it were a wand And ...

Pieces of dreams

Imagen
  Canción de Michel Legrand para la película Pieces of Dreams de 1970, dirigida por Daniel Haller. También fue grabada por Shirley Bassey . Letra Little boy lost in search of little boy found You go a wondering, wandering Stumbling, tumbling, round! round! When will you find What's on the tip of your mind? Why are you blind To all you ever were Never were, really are, nearly are? Little boy false in search of little boy true Will you ever be done traveling Always unraveling you, you? Running away could lead you further astray And as for fishing in streams for pieces of dreams Those pieces will never fit What is the sense of it? Little boy blue, don't let your little sheep roam It's time ,come blow your horn, meet the morn Look and see, can you be far from home?

Something's coming

Imagen
  Canción del musical de 1957 West Side Story compuesta por Leonard Bernstein con letra de Stephen Sondheim, en una estupenda versión de Shirley Bassey. Letra Could be, who knows? There's somethin' due any day I will know right away, soon as it shows It may come cannonballin' down through the sky Gleam in its eye, bright as a rose Who knows? It's only just out of reach Down the block, on a beach, under a tree I got a feelin' there's a miracle due Gonna come true, comin' to me Could it be? Yes, it could Somethin's comin', somethin' good, if I can wait Somethin's comin', I don't know what it is But it is gonna be great With a click, with a shock Phone'll jingle, door'll knock, open the latch Somethin's comin', don't know when But it's soon, catch the moon, one-handed catch Around the corner Or whistlin' down the river Come on, deliver to me Will it be? Yes, it will Maybe just by holdin' still, it'll b...

Never Never Never

Imagen
  Bella canción de 1973 en la poderosa voz de Shirley Bassey, famosa cantante inglesa por su participación en las mejores canciones de James Bond. Letra I'd like to run away from you, but if you never found me I would die I'd like to break the chains you put around me, but I know I never will You stay away and all I do is wonder why the hell I wait for you But when did common sense prevail for lovers when we know it never will Impossible to live with you But I know, I could never live without you For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you You never treat me like you should, so what's the good of loving as I do? Although you always laugh at love, nothing else would be good enough for you Impossible to live with you, but I know, I could never live without you For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you You make me laugh, you make me cry, you make me live, you make me die for you You make me sing, you m...
