I didn't know what time it was
Then I met you
Oh, what a lovely time it was
How sublime it was too.
I didn't know what day it was
You held my hand
Warm like the month of May it was
And I'll say it was grand.
Grand to be alive, to be young
To be mad, to be yours alone
Grand to see your face, feel your touch
Hear your voice say "I'm all your own".
I didn't know what year it was
Life was no prize
I wanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes
I'm wise and I know what time it is now.

The Very Thought Of You
03:52
|
|||
|
The very thought of you
And I forget to do
Those little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a queen
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know
How slow the moments go
'Til I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love.

Pieces Of Dreams
03:12
|
|||
|
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 be ever done traveling
Always unravelling 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?

All Of Me
04:07
|
|||
|
All of me, why not take all of me
Can't you see that I'm no good without you
Take my lips I want to lose them
Take my arms I'll never use them.
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me.

Comes Love
03:48
|
|||
|
Comes a rain storm, put your rubbers on your feet
Comes a snow storm, you can get a little heat
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes a fire, then you know just what to do
Blow a tyre, you can buy another shoe
Comes love, nothing can be done
Don't try hiding 'cause there isn't any use
You'll start sliding
When your heart it turns on the juice
Comes a headache, you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache, see the dentist right away
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes a heatwave, you can hurry to the shore
Comes a summons, you can hide behind the door
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes the measles, you can quarantine the room
Comes a mousie, you can chase it with a broom
Comes love, nothing can be done
That's all brother, if you've ever been in love
That's all brother,
You know what I'm speakin' of
Comes a nightmare, you can always stay awake
Comes depression, you may get another break
Comes love, nothing can be done.

Almost Blue
03:56

Almost Blue
Almost doing things we used to do
There's a boy here and he's almost you, almost
All the things that your eyes one promised
I see in his too
Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue
Flirting with this disaster became me
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue
It's almost touching it will almost do
There's a part of me that's always true - always
Not all good things come to an end now it is
Only a chosen few
I've seen such an unhappy couple
Almost me
Almost you
Almost blue

These Foolish Things
03:16
|
|||
|
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
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
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fair ground's painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you
You came you saw you conquer'd me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you
How strange how sweet to find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
The scent of smouldering 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

Both Sides Now
04:25
|
|||
|
Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons ev'rywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on ev'ryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev'ry fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's loves illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
But something's lost, but something's gained
In living ev'ry day
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

Don't let the sun catch you crying
The night's the time for your tears
Your heart may be broken tonight
But remember in the morning light
Don't let the sun catch you crying
The night time shadows disappear
And with them goes all your fears
Oh the sunshine will bring joy
Tell every girl and boy
Don't let the sun catch you crying
We know that crying's not a bad thing
So save your crying for the best things
It may be hard to discover
That you've been left for another
But you've got to remember oh that love's a game
And if you want it, it can come again
So don't let the sun catch you crying
Don't let the sun catch you crying oh no, oh no.

You Are So Beautiful
03:00
|
|||
|
You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful to me
Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding ight that shines in the night
Heaven's give to me
You are so beautiful to me

Tazina Frank Bruniquel, France
I've sung jazz for over 30 years but I've written my own songs since I was a young teenager. I never felt confident enough to pursue an originals music career until turning 50 when I thought "if I don't start to do something serious with them now, I never will". So now my own music is in the driving seat. It is earthy-acoustic in style. My songs are stories of relationships and global injustice. ... more
