Cest une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous, les deux ensemble
Toi que m'aimais moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie spare ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants désunis.

LYRICS: 

AUTUMN LEAVES

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon Ill hear old winters song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fal
l

MISTY 
Look at me, Im as helpless as a kitten up a tree;
And I feel like Im clingin to a cloud,
I can t understand
I get misty, just holding your hand.
Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play,
Or it might be the sound of your hello,
That music I hear,
I get misty, the moment youre near.
Cant you see that youre leading me on?
And its just what I want you to do,
Dont you notice how hopelessly Im lost
Thats why Im following you.
On my own,
When I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
Im too misty, and too much in love.
Too misty,
And too much
In love.....
 

NEVER ON A SUNDAY
Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday a Monday a Monday 
is very very good 
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday a Tuesday a Tuesday 
in fact I wish you would 
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday a Thursday a 
Friday and Saturday is best 
But never ever on a Sunday a Sunday a Sunday 
cause that's my day of rest 

Most any day you can be my guest 
Any day you say but my day of rest 
Just name the day that you like the best 
Only stay away on my day of rest 

Oh, you can kiss me on a cool day a hot day a wet day 
which ever one you choose 
Or try to kiss me on a gray day a May day a pay day 
and see if I refuse 

And if you make it on a bleak day a freak day or a week day 
Well you can be my guest 
But never ever on a Sunday a Sunday the one day 
I need a little rest 
Oh, you can kiss me on a week day a week day a week day 
the day to be my guest

TEA FOR TWO
Tea for two and two for tea
Picture you upon my knee
Just tea for two and two for tea
Just me for you and you for me alone
Nobody near us to see us or hear us
No friends or relations on weekend vacations
We won't have it known, dear
That we own a telephone, dear
Day will break and you'll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For me to take for all the boys to see
We will raise a family
A boy for you, a girl for me
Oh, can't you see how happy we would be
