I′ll go my lonely way

Now that you're gone

I′ll Walk the lonely streets,

From dusk til dawn.

If I can't Walk along with you,

Then I'll go my lonely way.

Background: Go my Lonely Way

You had to go your way,

I don′t know why.

If friends should ask me dear,

Whats my reply?

Thats why I′ll go on loving you

And go on my lonely way.

I've had my chance for romance

To give my heart anew

But then you said goodbye dear

You know you took my heart

And soul with you.

Each night I say a prayer

For your return, until that day my dear

My heart will yearn.

Till you are in my arms again

I′ll go my lonely way.

WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW

          Roland Kent LaVoie(born July 31, 1943), better known by his stage name Lobo, (which is a Spanish word for wolf), is an American singer-songwriter who was successful in the early 1970s, scoring several U.S. Top 10 hits including "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo", "I'd Love You to Want Me", and "Don't Expect Me to Be Your Friend". These three songs, along with "Where Were You When I Was Falling in Love", gave Lobo four chart toppers on the Easy Listening/Hot Adult Contemporary chart.

Tonight you're mine, completely

You give your soul so sweetly

Tonight the light of love is in your eyes

But will you love me tomorrow

 

Is this a lasting treasure

Or just a moment's pleasure

Can I believe the magic in your sighs

And will you still love me tomorrow

 

Tonight with words unspoken

You say that I'm the only one

But will my heart be broken

When the night meets the morning sun

 

I'd like to know if your love

Is a love I can be sure of

So tell me now and I won't ask again

Will you still love me tomorrow

Will you still love me tomorrow

Will you still love me tomorrow.

GENRE: SOFT ROCK

         Elizabeth Woolridge Grant(born June 21, 1985), known professionally as Lana Del Rey, is an American singer-songwriter. Her music is noted for its cinematic quality and exploration of tragic romance, glamour, and melancholia, containing references to contemporary pop culture, as well as 1950s and 1960s Americana. She is the recipient of various accolades, including two Brit Awards, two MTV Europe Music Awards, a Satellite Award, and received nominations for six Grammy Award and a Golden Globe Award.

         Raised in upstate New York, Del Rey moved to New York City in 2005 to pursue a music career. After numerous projects, including her self-titled debut studio album, Del Rey's breakthrough came in 2011 with the viral success of her single "Video Games"; she subsequently signed a recording contract with Polydor and Interscope. She achieved critical and commercial success with her second album, Born to Die(2012), which contained the sleeper hit "Summertime Sadness". Del Rey's third album, Ultraviolence(2014), featured greater use of guitar-driven instrumentation and debuted atop the U.S. Billboard 200. Her fourth and fifth albums, Honeymoon(2015) and Lust for Life(2017), saw a return to the stylistic traditions of her earlier releases, while her critically acclaimed sixth album, Norman Fucking Rockwell! (2019), explored soft rock. Del Rey followed this with the albums Chemtrails over the Country Club and Blue Banisters, both in 2021.

       Norman Fucking Rockwell! is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey. It was released on August 30, 2019, by Polydor and Interscope Records. The album was primarily produced by Del Rey and Jack Antonoff, with additional contributions from Zach Dawes, Andrew Watt and longtime Del Rey collaborator Rick Nowels. Musically, Norman Fucking Rockwell! features a soft rock sound consisting of psych-rock jams and piano ballads, and features references to various classic rock artists. The name of the album is a reference to the painter and illustrator Norman Rockwell.

     The first singles from the album, "Mariners Apartment Complex" and "Venice Bitch", were released in September 2018, followed by "Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman like Me to Have – but I Have It", "Doin' Time", "The Greatest", and "Norman Fucking Rockwell" in 2019.

          Norman Fucking Rockwell! received widespread critical acclaim, and was nominated for Album of the Year at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, while the title track was nominated for Song of the Year. It was listed by several publications as one of the best albums of the decade, and in the years following its release, of all time. To promote the album, Del Rey embarked on a concert tour, titled The Norman Fucking Rockwell! Tour.

Do you want me or do you not?

I heard one thing, now I'm hearing another

Dropped a pin to my parking spot

The bar was hot, it's 2 am, it feels like summer

 

Happiness is a butterfly

Try to catch it like every night

It escapes from my hands into moonlight

Every day is a lullaby

I hum it on the phone like every night

And sing it for my babies on the tour life

Ah ah

 

If he's a serial killer, then what's the worst

That could happen to a girl who's already hurt?

I'm already hurt

If he's as bad as they say, then I guess I'm cursed

Looking into his eyes, I think he's already hurt

He's already hurt

 

I said, "Don't be a jerk, don't call me a taxi"

Sitting in your sweatshirt, crying in the backseat

Ooh

I just wanna dance with you

Hollywood and Vine, Black Rabbit in the alley

I just wanna hold you tight down the avenue

I just wanna dance with you

I just wanna dance with you

 

Baby, I just wanna dance (dance)

With you (dance)

Baby, I just wanna dance (dance)

With you

 

Left the canyon, drove to the club

I was one thing, now I'm being another

Go down to Sunset in the truck

I'll pick you up if you're in town on the corner

Ah ah

 

Happiness is a butterfly

We should catch it while dancing

I lose myself in the music, baby

Every day is a lullaby

Try to catch it like lightning

I sing it into my music, I'm crazy

 

If he's a serial killer, then what's the worst

That could happen to a girl who's already hurt?

I'm already hurt

If he's as bad as they say, then I guess I'm cursed

Looking into his eyes, I think he's already hurt

He's already hurt

 

I said, "don't be a jerk, don't call me a taxi"

Sitting in your sweatshirt, crying in the backseat

Ooh

I just wanna dance with you

Hollywood and Vine, Black Rabbit in the alley

I just wanna hold you tight down the avenue

I just wanna dance with you

I just wanna dance with you

 

Baby, I just wanna dance (dance)

With you (dance)

Baby, I just wanna dance (dance)

 

With you!

Étrangers dans la nuit

On se regarde

Étrangers dans la nuit

Nos yeux bavardent

C'est bon d'être ainsi

Étrangers dans la nuit

 

Pourquoi se parler

Mieux vaut se taire

Quand on peut rêver

Devant un verre

Que la nuit s'en va

Mais que l'amour est là

 

Il aura suffi

Avant que le jour vienne

Il aura suffi

De ta main dans la mienne

Pour changer ma vie

Pour changer mon ciel

Pour que tout là-haut

Dans la nuit brillent

Mille et mille étoiles

 

Et toi dans la nuit

Tu peux sourire

Déjà j'ai compris

Tu veux me dire

Soyons réunis

Étrangers dans la nuit

 

Pour nous, tout là-haut

Dans la nuit brillent

Mille et mille étoiles

Et toi dans la nuit

Tu peux sourire

Déjà j'ai compris

Tu veux me dire

Soyons réunis

Étrangers dans la nuit.
