• Titre : Sing For You
• Album : Our Bright Future
• Année : 2008

Paroles :

Un, deux, trois, quatre

Doux et fort, au lever du jour,
Un air simple que tu peux fredonner
Je me souviens d'une époque
Où je chantais pour toi

Do do do, do do
Do do do, do do do-do...
Je chantais pour toi
Do do do, do do
Do do do, do do do-do...

Connaissant toutes les paroles des chansons populaires
Avec la radio à fond
Je me souviens d'une époque
Où je chantais pour toi

Do do do, do do
Do do do, do do do-do...
Je chantais pour toi
Do do do, do do
Do do do, do do do-do...

Oublie le refrain, tu es le pont
Les paroles et la musique de chaque jour que je vis
Il n'y a rien que je ne donnerai
Pour qu'une fois encore, je puisse chanter pour toi

Do do do, do do
Do do do, do do do-do...
Oh oui
Do do do, do do
Do do do, do do do-do...

Tendre et faible lorsque le soir arrive
Je te tiens, endormi dans mes bras
Je me souviens d'une époque
Où je chantais pour toi

Do do do, do do
Do do do, do do do-do...
Où je chantais pour toi
Do do do, do do
Do do do, do do do-do...
Je chantais pour toi

• Titre : The Promise
• Album : New Beginning
• Année : 1995

Paroles :

If you wait for me then I'll come for you
Although I've traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart
If you think of me, If you miss me once in awhile
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
If you dream of me like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I've longed for you and I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I've longed for you and I have desired
To see your face, your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting

Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise If it's one that you can keep, I vow to come for you
If you wait for me and say you'll hold
A place for me in your heart.

• Titre : Baby Can I Hold You
• Album : Tracy Chapman
• Année : 1988

Paroles :

Sorry
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like sorry like sorry
Forgive me
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like forgive me forgive me

But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time you'd be mine

I love you
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like I love you I love you

• Titre : Talkin' Bout a Revolution
• Album : Tracy Chapman
• Année : 1988

Paroles :

Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

Don't you know
You better run, run, run...
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run...

Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
