Nina Simone Single Woman Lyrics
1.Folks Who Live On The Hill


2.If I Should Lose You

Leo robin, ralph rainger

If i should lose you
The stars would fall from the skies
If i should lose you
The leaves would wither and die

The birds in maytime
Would sing a lonely refrain
And i would wander around
Hating the sound of rain

With you beside me
No wind in winter would blow
With you beside me
A rose would bloom in the snow

I gave you my love
But i was living a dream
And living would seem in vain
If i lost you


3.Il N'y A Pas D'amour Hereaux

George brassens, luis aragon

Rien n'est jamais acquis ?l'homme. ni sa force
Ni sa faiblesse ni son coeur. et quand il croit
Ouvrir ses bras son ombre est celle d'une croix
Et quand il croit serrer son bonheur il le broie
Sa vie est un range et douloureux divorce
Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux

Sa vie elle ressemble ?ces soldats sans armes
Qu'on avait habill pour un autre destin
ë quoi peut leur servir de ce lever matin
Eux qu'on retrouve au soir doeuvr incertains
Dites ces mots ma vie et retenez vos larmes
Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux

Mon bel amour mon cher amour ma dhirure
Je te porte en moi comme un oiseau bless?Et ceux-l?sans savoir
nous regardent passer
Rant apr moi les mots que j'ai tress
Et qui pour tes grands yeux tout aussitt moururent
Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux

Le temps d'aprendre ?vivre il est d?trop tard
Que pleurent dans la nuit nos coeurs ?l'unisson
Ce qu'il faut de malheur pour la moindre chanson
Ce qu'il faut de regrets pour payer un frisson
Ce qu'il faut de sanglots pour un air de guitare
Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux

(the following words are non singed by nina)
Il n'y a pas d'amour qui ne soit douleur.
Il n'y a pas d'amour dont on ne soit meurtri.
Il n'y a pas d'amour dont on ne soit flri.
Et pas plus que de toi l'amour de la patrie.
Il n'y a pas d'amour qui ne vive de pleurs.
Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux.
Mais c'est notre amour ?tous les deux.


4.Just Say I Love Him

(1930) val, dale, kalmanoff, ward, enzo fusco, rodolfo falvo

Just say that i need him as roses need the rain
And tell him that without him my dreams are all in vain
Just say i love him loved him from the start
And tell him that i'm yearning to say what's in my heart
Just say that i need him as roses need the rain
Tell him that without him my dreams are all in vain

If you should chance to meet him anytime anyplace anywhere
Say i was a fool to leave him
Tell him how much a fool can care
And if he tells you he's lonely now and then
Just won't you tell him that i love him
And want him back again

If you should see him anytime anyplace anywhere
Tell him i was a fool to leave him
Tell him how much a fool can care
And if he tells you he's lonely now and then
Won't you just say i love him and want him back again
Won't you just say i love him and want him back again

8.More I See You, The

(1945) mack gordon, harry warren

The more i see you,
The more i want you.
Somehow this feeling
Just grows and grows.
With every sigh i become more mad about you,
More lost without you,
And so it goes.
Can you imagine
How much i'll love you
The more i see you
As years go by?
I know the only one for me can only be you.
My arms won't free you;
My heart won't try.


9.Papa, Can You Hear Me?
