That was yesterday December 19, 2009

I thought I knew you well
But all this time I could never tell
I let you get away
Haunts me every night and every day

You were the only one
The only friend that I counted on
How could I watch you walk away
I’d give anything to have you here today

But now I stand alone with my pride
And dream that you’re still by my side

But that was yesterday
I had the world in my hands
But it’s not the end of my world
Just a slight change of plans

That was yesterday
But today life goes on
No more hiding in yesterday
‘Cause yesterday’s gone

Love, my love I gave it all
Thought I saw the light
When I heard you call
Life that we both could share
Has deserted me
Left me in despair

But now I stand alone with my pride
Fighting back the tears I never let myself cry

But that was yesterday
Love was torn from my hands
But it’s not the end of my world
Just a little hard to understand

That was yesterday
But today life goes on
You won’t find me in yesterday’s world
Now yesterday’s gone

Goodbye yesterday
Now it’s over and done
Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart
Yesterday will live on

Urgent December 19, 2009

 

You’re not shy, you get around
You wanna fly, don’t want your feet on the ground
You stay up, you won’t come down
You wanna live, you wanna move to the sound
Got fire, in your veins, burnin’ hot, but you don’t feel the pain
Your desire, is insane, you can’t stop, until you do it again
But sometimes I wonder as I look in your eyes
That maybe you’re thinking of some other guy
But I know, yes I know, how to treat you right
That’s why you call me in the middle of the night

You say it’s urgent, so urgent, so-oh-oh urgent…
Just you wait and see, how urgent, my love can be, it’s urgent…

You play tricks, on my mind, you’re everywhere
But you’re so hard to find, you’re not warm, or sentimental
You’re so extreme, you can be so temperamental
But I’m not looking for a love that will last
I know what I need and I need it fast
Yeah, there’s one thing in common that we both share
That’s a need for each other anytime, anywhere

It gets so urgent, so urgent, you know it’s, urgent
I wanna tell you it’s the same for me, ooh-oooh, so-oh-oh urgent…
Just you wait and see, how urgent, our love can be, it’s urgent…

You say it’s urgent, make it fast, make it urgent
Do it quick, do it urgent, gotta rush, make it urgent…Want it quick
Urgent, urgent, emergency…Urgent, urgent, emergency…
Urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, emergency, so urgent, emergency
Emer-(ooh-oooh) emer-(ooh-oooh) emer-(ooh-oooh) It’s urgent
So urgent…

Waiting for a girl like you December 19, 2009

So long, I’ve been looking too hard, I’ve been waiting too long
Sometimes I don’t know what I will find, I only know it’s a matter of time
When you love someone, when you love someone
It feels so right, so warm and true, I need to know if you feel it too

Maybe I’m wrong, won’t you tell me if I’m coming on too strong
This heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I wanna be sure

I’ve been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I’ve been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
I’ve been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

You’re so good, when we make love it’s understood
It’s more than a touch or a word can say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone, yeah, really love someone

Now I know it’s right, from the moment I wake up till deep in the night
There’s nowhere on earth that I’d rather be than holding you tenderly

I’ve been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I’ve been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
I’ve been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

I’ve been waiting, waiting for you, ooh, I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting
(I’ve been waiting for a girl like you, I’ve been waiting)
Won’t you come into my life?

Girl on the moon December 19, 2009

It’s night, again
Time for my mind to go wandering
Off on a journey, through space and time
In search of a face I can never find
So I close my eyes and look inside

I can’t forget
The night that I saw her we never met
She felt so close to me as I reached for her hand
She drifted away like the desert sand
It was her and she was gone

I wish she’d come back tonight
Like a star shining bright
I don’t know where she’s from

She’s like a girl on the moon
A girl on the moon
She’s like a girl on the moon
A girl on the moon

Yeah it’s night, once again
And that same old feeling is setting in
It all seems so familiar but I hope this time
That the girl on the moon will soon be mine
All mine, tonight

Am I asking too much
Should I leave my dream untouched
Should I even know where she’s from

My, girl on the moon
She’s my girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
My girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
My girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
Fille sur la lune
Girl on the moon
Fille sur la lune

I want to know what love is December 19, 2009

 

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I’m older
Aaaah woah-ah-aah

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
And through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
Can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
Aaaah woah-oh-ooh

I’m gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me, oooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh oooh
I’ve got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
I can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me

Let’s talk about love
(I wanna know what love is) the love that you feel inside
(I want you to show me) I’m feeling so much love
(I wanna feel what love is) no, you just cannot hide
(I know you can show me) yeah, woah-oh-ooh
I wanna know what love is, let’s talk about love
(I want you to show me) I wanna feel it too
(I wanna feel what love is) I wanna feel it too
And I know, and I know, I know you can show me
Show me what is real, woah (woah), yeah I know
(I wanna know what love is) hey I wanna know what love
(I want you to show me), I wanna know, I wanna know, want know
(I wanna feel what love is), hey I wanna feel, love
I know you can show me, yeah

Bruce Springsteen – Streets of Philadelphia November 15, 2009

 

 

I was bruised and battered
And I couldn’t tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in a window
I didn’t know my own face

Oh brother are you gonna leave me wasting away
On the streets of Philadelphia

I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia

Ain’t no angel gonna greet me
It’s just you and I my friend
And my clothes don’t fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin

The night has fallen, I’m lyin’ awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia

Walking in Memphis November 15, 2009

 

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I, boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W. C. Handy – won ‘t you look down over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I’m as blue as a girl can be

Then I’m walking in Memphis

Chorus:
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered ’round his tomb
But there’s a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

When I was walking in Memphis

Chorus

Chorus 2:
Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

They got catfish on the table
They got gospel in the air
Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven’t got a prayer
But boy you’ve got a prayer in Memphis

Now Gabriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see him
They asked me if I would
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
he said: “Tell me are you a Christian, child?”
And I said: “Man I am tonight”

Chorus 2 (Repeat)

Put on my blue suede shoes

When I need you September 13, 2009

 
“When I Need You”

When I need you
Just close my eyes and I’m with you
And all that I so want to give you
It’s only a heart beat away

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can’t take the place of your smile
But you know I wont be traveling for ever
It’s cold out, but hold out and do like I do

When I need you
Just close my eyes and I’m with you
And all that I so want to give you babe
It’s only a heartbeat away

It’s not easy when the road is your driver
Honey, that’s a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won’t be traveling a lifetime
It’s cold out but hold out and do like I do
Oh I need you

When I need you
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

When I need you
Just close my eyes and I’m with you
And all that I so want to give you
It’s only a heart beat away

 

Mon mec à moi September 5, 2009

Il joue avec mon coeur,
Il triche avec ma vie
Il dit des mots menteurs,
Et moi je crois tout c’qu’il dit
Les chansons qu’il me chante,
Les rêves qu’il fait pour deux
C’est comme les bonbons menthe,
Ca fait du bien quand il pleut
Je m’raconte des histoires,
En écoutant sa voix
C’est pas vrai ces histoires,
Mais moi j’y crois.
Mon mec à moi,
Il me parle d’aventures
Et quand elles brillent dans ses yeux
J’pourrais y passer la nuit
Il parle d’amour,
Comme il parle des voitures
Et moi j’l’suis où il veut
Tellement je crois tout c’qu’il m’dit
Tellement je crois tout c’qu’il m’dit,
oh oui, Mon mec à moi…
Sa façon d’être à moi,
Sans jamais dire je t’aime
C’est rien qu’du cinéma,
Mais c’est du pareil au même
Ce film en noir et blanc,
Qu’il m’a joué deux cents fois
C’est Gabin et Morgan,
Enfin ça ressemble à tout ça
j’m'raconte des histoires,
Des scénarios chinois
C’est pas vrai ces histoires,
Mais moi j’y crois
Mon mec à moi,
Il me parle d’aventures
Et quand elles brillent dans ses yeux
J’pourrais y passer la nuit
Il parle d’amour,
Comme il parle des voitures
Et moi j’l’suis où il veut
Tellement je crois tout c’qu’il m’dit
Tellement je crois tout c’qu’il m’dit,
oh oui, Mon mec à moi…
(Chorus Harmonica)
Mon mec à moi,
Il me parle d’aventures
Et quand elles brillent dans ses yeux
J’pourrais y passer la nuit
Il parle d’amour,
Comme il parle des voitures
Et moi j’l’suis où il veut
Tellement je crois tout c’qu’il m’dit
Tellement je crois tout c’qu’il m’dit,
oh oui, Mon mec à moi…
Mon mec à moi,
Il me parle d’aventures
Et quand elles brillent dans ses yeux
J’pourrais y passer la nuit
Il parle d’amour,
Comme il parle des voitures
Et moi j’l’suis où il veut
Tellement je crois tout c’qu’il m’dit
Tellement je crois tout c’qu’il m’dit,
oh oui, Mon mec à moi…

Wake me up when September ends September 5, 2009

 

“Wake Me Up When September Ends”

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends

like my father’s come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when September ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends

summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when September ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends

like my father’s come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when September ends
wake me up when September ends
wake me up when September ends
