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

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

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.


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


À ceux qu'on aime
Christophe
1966

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
(...)


Breaking up is breaking my heart
Roy Orbison
1965

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


Here without you
The Byrds
1965

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
The Seekers
1964
