She
She may be the face I can't forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure
Or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day
Into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dream
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them
When they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I remember till the day I die
She may be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough and rainy years
Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is she
She" is written by Charles Aznavour and Herbert Kretzmer and released by Aznavour as a single in 1974.
The song was written as a theme tune for the British TV series Seven Faces of Woman

So You're Gone
So you’re gone the sun will still keep shining
Though you’re gone there’d be a silver lining
Life goes on
So you’re gone no reconciliations moving on
That beckoning vacation’s proving long over due
I’ll be lost over you though you’re gone
I won’t even know you’re gone
With zing and with pep I’ll greet the new day
The spring in my step will give me away
I can’t do a thing but accept the old come what may
No worse for the wear not finding you there
I nearly don’t care about why you’d go
Goodbye and so you’re gone
With zing and with pep I‘ll greet the new day
The spring in my step will give me a way
I can’t do a thing but accept the old come what may
No worse for the wear not finding you there
I nearly don’t care about why you’d go
Goodbye and so you’re gone
No tears will find me pillow you’re gone
But here’s a sign it’s still oh very wrong
My heart won’t let you go even though I know I know it
So you’re gone

That's Life
That's life that's what all the people say
You're riding high in April
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
I said that's life and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stompin' on a dream
But I don t let it, let it get me down
Cause this fine old world keeps spinnin' around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life I tell 'ya I can't deny it
I thought of quitting baby
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
But I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
I just pick my self up
And get back in the race
That's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out
But my heart wont buy it
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My my
