Dangling conversation

It's a still life water color,
Of a now late afternoon,
As the sun shines through the curtained lace
And shadows wash the room
.And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference,
Like shells upon the shoreY
ou can hear the ocean roar
In The Dangling Conversation
And the superficial sighs,
The borders of our lives.

And you read your Emily Dickinson,
And I my Robert Frost,
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost.
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm,
Couplets out of rhyme,
In syncopated time
And The Dangling Conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives.

Yes we speak of things that matter,
With words that must be said,
"Can analysis be worthwhile?"
"Is the theater really dead?"
And how the room is softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow,
I cannot feel your hand,
You're a stranger now unto me
Lost in The Dangling Conversation
And the superficial sighs
In the borders of our lives


The dangling conversation
Simon & Garfunkel
1966

Still I'm sad

(....)
For myself my tears just fall into dust,
Day will dry them, night will find they are lost.
Now I find the wind is blowing time into my heart,
Let the rain fall, for we are apart.
Still I'm sad,Still I'm sad


Still I'm sad
The Yardbirds
1965

My heart cries for you

(...)
An unimportant quarrel was what we had
We have to learn to live with the good and bad
Together we were happy, apart we're sad
This loneliness is driving me mad
My heart cries for you
Sighs for you,
dies for you
And my arms long for you
Please come back to me
(...)


My heart cries for you
Guy Mitchell
1950

Esperança....

No tears, no fears,
remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part,
we'll be together again

Your kiss, your smile, are memories
I'll treasure forever
So try thinking with your heart,
we'll be together again

Times when I know you'll be lonesome,
times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you,
don't let the blues make you bad

Someday, someway,
we both have a lifetime before us
For parting is not good-bye,
we'll be together again


We'll be together again
Frankie Laine
1947

Mr. Lonely

Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
I have nobody for my own.
I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
wish I had someone to call on the phone.

I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier,
Away from home
through no wish of my own.
That's why I'm lonely,
I'm Mr. Lonely,I wish that I could go back home.

Letters, never a letter,
I get no letters in the mail.
I've been forgotten, yeah, forgotten,
Oh how I wonder how is it I failed.


Mr. Lonely
Bobby Vinton
1962

Always something there to remind me

I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me,
And every step I take recalls how much in love we used to be.
Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me,
(...)


Always something there to remind me
Sandie Shaw

It might as well rain until September

What shall I write?
What can I say?
How can I tell you how much I miss you?
The weather here has been as nice as it can be
Although it doesn't really matter much to me
For all the fun I'll have while you're so far away
It might as well rain until September

I don't need sunny skies for thing I have to do
'Cause I stay home the whole day long and think of you
As far as I'm concerned each day's a rainy day
So It might as well rain until September

My friends look forward to their picnics on the beach
Yes everybody loves the summertime
But you know darling while your arms are out of reach
The summer isn't any friend of mine

It doesn't matter whether skies are grey or blue
It's raining in my heart 'cause I can't be with you
I'm only living for the day you're home to stay
So It might as well rain until September


It might as well rain until September
Carole King
1962

Pensa nisso....

There in your eyes I see
That you want to be free
There by your side I'll be
If you still want me.
Please think about it.
I need your love
I'm no good without it.
(...)
I'll be good to you
That's all I want to do
(...)
I'll be good to you
That's all I want to do.
So if you have to go
I won't stand in your way
But if you decide to stay
I will be your guy

Please think about it
The Moody Blues
1968

Constantly

All day I'm walking in a dream
I think about you constantly
Just like an ever flowing stream
Your memory haunts me constantly
Shadows fall and I try to drive you from my mind
So youre no longer near to me
But my heart sees you there with me
Every sunset you share with me
The rain that patterns throu the tree
reminds me of you constantly
Your name is whispered by the breeze and love birds
Bring your song to me
Just as same as each star keeps burningIn the sky
your flame will stay a flame in me
A flame that burns so bright
Not only throu the night
But constantly
Thro we may be_apart
Youre constantly deep in my heart


Constantly
Cliff Richard
1964

I can't stop loving you

(....)
Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
(...)
I can't stop loving you

So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday


I can't stop loving you

Rhytm of the rain

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
(...)
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know
That when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
(...)
I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away
(...)
Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow


Rhytm of the rain
The Cascades

Wish you were here

(...)
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.


Wish you were here
Pink Floyd
1975

Nada é eterno....?

When we were young and green
We shared our dreams together,
And you were my friend.
We had our good times pal, We thought they'd last forever.
But nothing lasts forever,
Nothing lasts forever.
Time goes by and people change
(...)
And it was wrong to think our love would never end
My friend
(...)
Time goes by it takes us all,
Nations crumble and empires fall
And who are we
To think that we would always be,
You see nothing lasts forever, Nothing lasts forever.
(...)
I know that you'll survive
And you'll get by whatever.
Though you say goodbye.
My love will never die,
It will last forever.
Your love will die but mine will last forever,
Your love will fade but mine will last forever.
Your feeling might go but mine will last forever.
And though you're gone you're in my mind forever


Nothing lasts forever
The Kinks
1974

Disparates....

(...)
The ties that bound us
are still around us
There's no escape that I can see
And still those little things remain
That bring me happiness or pain
(...)
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things
Remind me of you

A tinkling piano in the next apartment
(...)
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
(...)
Wild strawb'ries only seven francs a kilo
These foolish things
Remind me of you

The beauty that is Spring
These foolish things
Remind me of you
(...)
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
(...)
The smile of Garbo and the scent of roses
(...)
The song that Crosby sings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
(..)
How strange, how sweet to find you still
These things are dear to me
That seem to bring you so near to me
The scent of smould'ring leaves, the wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you, just you


Bryan Ferry
These foolish things
1973

Solitude

My name it means nothing, my fortune is less
My future is shrouded in dark wilderness
Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on
Everything I posessed - Now they are gone
Oh where can I go to and what can I do?
Nothing can please me only thoughts are of you
(...)
I've not stopped crying since you went away
The world is a lonely place - you're on your own
Guess I will go home - sit down and moan.
Crying and thinking is all that I do
Memories I have remind me of you


Solitude
Black Sabbath
1972

Without you

(...)
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
(...)
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there
but then I let you go
And now it's only fair
that I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give any more
I can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more
(...)


Without you
Nilsson
1972

A house is not a home

A chair is still a chair
Even when theres no one sitting there
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When theres no one there to hold you tight,
And no one there you can kiss good night.

A room is still a room
Even when theres nothing there but gloom;
But a room is not a house,
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart.
(...)


A house is not a home
Dionne Warwick
1964

Night and day

(...)
A voice within me keeps repeatingYou, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day,
Why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
(...)
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day


Night and day
Ringo Starr
1970

I'll kiss your memory

(...)
Our house looks kind of different
But the empty rooms still mean the same to me
(...)
As though you were here
I'll hold your memories till you reappear

(...)
And I'll cherish all the thoughts you gave to me
And I will wander through the darkness
I'll keep crying one last tear
Now your lips are gone
I'll kiss your memory


I'll kiss your memory
Barry Gibb
1970

Without her

(...)
Love brings out the weakness in a man
And i'm so weak i just can't stand
To be without her,Without her,Without her.

There was a time she walked with me,
(...)
Time will take her memory they say,
But it gets harder ev'ry day,
To live without her,Without her,Without her.

Thank you for the days....

Thank you for the days,
Those endless days,
those sacred days you gave me.

I'm thinking of the days,
I won't forget a single day,
believe me.

I bless the light, I bless the light
that lights on you believe me.
And though you're gone,
You're with me every single day, believe me.

À ceux qu'on aime

Puisqu'il faut dire à ceux qu'on aime
Un beau matin "Faut se quitter"
On se retrouve avec la peine
A quoi ça sert de tant s'aimer ?

Puisqu'il faut dire à ceux qu'on aime
Un beau matin "C'est terminé"
On se retrouve le coeur en peine
On n'en a même pas profité

Puisqu'il faut dire à ceux qu'on aime
Un beau matin "Faut s'en aller"
Et même si j'ai le coeur en peine
Moi, je t'ai déjà pardonné

Breaking up is breaking my heart

Now we're apart
Breaking up isbreaking my heart
I find myself alone at night,
and then I cry
No tenderness
My happiness
just said goodbye
Now your gone, and I'm alone

Breaking up is breaking myheart

The love affair we usedto share is cold,
and still I loved you then
I love you now, I alwayswill

I love you more

There are places i'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends i still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life i've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When i think of love as something new
Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more
(...)

Here without you

Daytime just makes me feel lonely
At night I can only dream about you
Girl you're on my mind nearly all of the time
It's so hard being here without you

The streets that I walk on depress me
The ones that were happy when I was with you
Still with all the friends I know and with all the things I do
It's so hard being here without you

I'll never find another you

(...)
There is always someone
For each of us they say
And you'll be my someone
For ever and a day
I could search the whole world over
Until my life is through
But I know I'll never find another you

If they gave me a fortune
My treasure would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow
And never mind at all
(...)
I don't know what I'll do
For I know I'll never find another you


I'll never find another you

Donne moi ma chance

Donne-moi ma chance,
donne-moi ma chance encore
Quoi que tu penses,
je n'ai pas tous les torts
Ne me dis pas, que c'est trop tard ,
Que tu n'as plus, pour moi un seul regard

Donne-moi ma chance,
donne-moi ma chance encore
Par ton silence,
tu parais la plus forte

Mais tu sais bien, que toi et moi
On ne peut pas se séparer comme ça

Donne-moi ma chance
allons fais un effort
Les apparences
sont contre moi encore

Are you lonesome tonight?

Are you lonesome tonight,
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray
to a brighter sunny day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
(....)

You know someone said that the worlds a stage
And each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when we met,
I loved you at first glance
(...)

Now the stage is bare
and Im standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you wont come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down.
Is your heart filled with pain,
shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?


Are you lonesome tonight

Na minha ignorância

But who else could change my tears
Into laughter after you?

Les feuilles mortes

Oh! je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes
Des jours heureux où nous étions amis
En ce temps-là la vie était plus belle,
Et le soleil plus brûlant qu'aujourd'hui
(.....)
C'est une chanson qui nous ressemble
Toi, tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Et nous vivions tous deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimais, moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement, sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable
Les pas des amants désunis.
(....)
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi
Mais mon amour silencieux et fidèle
Sourit toujours et remercie la vie
Je t'aimais tant, tu étais si jolie,
Comment veux-tu que je t'oublie?
En ce temps-là, la vie était plus belle
Et le soleil plus brûlant qu'aujourd'hui
Tu étais ma plus douce amie
Mais je n'ai que faire des regrets
Et la chanson que tu chantais
Toujours, toujours je l'entendrai

The great pretender

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretending I'm doing well
My need is such
I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game
but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real
when I feel
what my heart can't conceal

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be
what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
(.......)
Pretending that you're still around

I get along without you very well

I get along without you very well
Of course, I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves
Then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Of course, I do
But I get along without you very well

I get along without you very well
Of course, I do
Except perhaps in spring
But I should never think of spring
For that would surely break my heart in two

We'll meet again

We'll meet again,
don't know where, don't know when

Till the blue skies chase the dark clouds far away


We'll meet again

J'attendrai

J'attendrai le jour et la nuit
J'attendrai toujours

dans mon coeur si lourd
Et pourtant j'attendrai ton retour
