Tears (Behind My Eyes) Composer(s): James Paul Reed Performer(s): Spooky Tooth
Guess this could be the end Think you've really gone this time I won't get no more of your love I should have gone red besides Because the tears that you don't see Are the tears behind my eyes Tears that I can't disguise, so well So well from you
Got to get to you again If it takes up the whole day long Got to make it right with you Got to right all them wrongs Because the tears that you don't see Are the tears behind my eyes Tears I can't disguise, so well So well from you
Loving is what you did not get from me Loving is what you're gonna get now Just you wait Wait and see
Got to get to you again If it takes up the whole day long Got to make it right with you Got to right all them wrongs 'Cause the tears that you don't see Are the tears behind my eyes Tears I can't disguise, so well So well from you
Loving is what you did not get from me Loving is what you're gonna get now Just you wait Wait and see, yeah
Loving is what you did not get from me Loving is what you're gonna get now, babe Just you wait Wait and see
Got to get to you again If it takes up the whole day long Got to make it right with you Got to right all them wrongs But the tears that you don't see Are the tears behind my eyes The tears I can't disguise, so well So well from you, babe

Ich liebe Rosen und Wiesen und Kinder Mag Kupferkessel auf Feuer nicht minder Muss beim Zubettgeh'n den Abendstern seh'n Liegen im weichen Bett finde ich schön
Ich liebe Ponys und mag Apfelstrudeln Cremetorten, Kirschtorten, Schnitzel mit Nudeln Wildgänse fliegend hoch über den Seen Tiere im Wald und Feld finde ich schön
Ganz weiße Kleider mit blauseid'nen Schuhen Schneeflocken, die auf den Zweigen sich ruhen Silberne Winter und Berge in Höh'n Sonnige Frühlingstag' finde ich schön
Wenn der Hund bellt und ist bissig und ich bin verzagt Ganz einfach sofort wird mein Kummer vergeh'n Ich denke an das was schön

I love the colourful clothes she wears And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair I hear the sound of a gentle word On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

Tears Performer(s): Sam Ash; Rudy Vallee; Ken Dodd
Tears for souvenirs are all you've left me Memories of a love you never meant I just can't believe you could forget me After all those happy hours we spent together
Tears have been my only consolation But tears can't mend a broken heart I must confess Let's forgive and forget Turn our tears of regret Once more to tears of happiness
Tears have been my only consolation But tears can't mend a broken heart I must confess Let's forgive and forget Turn our tears of regret Once more to tears of happiness
Let's forgive and forget Turn our tears of regret Once more to tears of happiness
My Favorite Things French & German Titles: Mes Joies Quotidiennes; My Favorite Things Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II Originally performed by: Mary Martin Covered by various other artists
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things When the dog bites, when the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel so bad

En hier dames en heren, hier komt een liefdesgeschiedenis uit Den Haag, getiteld "Tearoom Tango"
Toen ik jou de roze tearoom langzaam binnenschrijden zag Met je kaalgesleten bontjas en je arrogante lach Een afschuwelijk beeld van honger en ellende Vroeg ik me af hoe ik jou in 's hemelsnaam herkende Maar toen iedereen jou nakeek met die blik van oh-la-la Dat moet vroeger iets geweest zijn van comme ça en ga maar na En de ober zelfs een buiging voor je maakte Toen voelde ik dat mijn verbittering ontwaakte En terwijl je stilstond bij 't gebak Was ik de jongen weer wiens jongenshartje brak
Je hebt me belazerd, je hebt me bedonderd En wat me nu na al die jaren nog verwondert Dat ik dat nooit vergeten zal al word ik honderd Je hebt me belazerd, je hebt me bedonderd
't Zal zo'n dertig jaar geleden zijn dat ik jou stil aanbad En in deze zelfde tearoom steeds op jou te wachten zat En wanneer je dan na uren was gekomen Noemde 'k jou de schone diva van m'n dromen Na een jaar geheime liefde zei 'k nog steeds eerbiedig "u" En ik mocht je af en toe eens kussen achter 't menu Verder mocht ik niks 't was verdomd een schijntje Je hield me steeds met je belofte aan 't lijntje Tot ik plotseling ontdekte dat Jij wel twintig and're tearoom-lovers had
Je hebt me belazerd, je hebt me bedonderd En wat me nu na al die jaren nog verwondert Dat ik dat nooit vergeten zal al word ik honderd Je hebt me belazerd, je hebt me bedonderd
En nu zit je aan een tafeltje en vraagt me "mag ik thee" En je attakeert m'n taartjes en wat kijk je weer gedwee En je fluistert "jongen, haal me uit de nesten Want het is of heel de wereld me wil pesten" Je bent veel te dik gepoeierd en de mot zit in je hoed En ik zie ook dat je huilt zoals een slecht actrice doet Je pikt weer een sigaret en vraagt een vuurtje En je zegt achter je zevende likeurtje "Ach, je weet dat ik jou de liefste vond Geef me wat geld, boy, want ik zit vreselijk aan de grond" Dan zeg ik: "zit jij aan de grond?"
Da's heel belazerd, da's reuze bedonderd Dat ik de liefste was is iets dat mij verwondert Vraag het die anderen maar, je had 'r minstens honderd Ober, ober, goedemiddag Deze dame hier, ober, wou even alles afrekenen Ja, 'k ben belazerd
My Favorite Dream Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil Performer(s): Jan & Dean
Each time I call you up, you're always free You break the dates you've got just to be with me Gee whiz, that's not the way it is But that's my favorite dream
You tell me I'm the type you can't resist Your lips are always there, ready to be kissed Gee whiz, that's not the way it is But that's my favorite dream
(x2): We spend each night together But you don't even know 'Cause in spite of all my dreams Somehow it seems I'd never even dare to say hello But I believe my dreams may still come true Someday you're gonna show that you love me too Gee whiz, that's not the way it is But that's my favorite dream
Gee whiz, that's not the way it is But that's my favorite dream

Teardrops Will Fall Composer(s): Dickey Doo - Marion Smith First release by: Dickey Doo & The Don'ts - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists
I read your letter and tears filled my eyes All of your promises fading, was nothing but lies So I turned your photograph over, face to the wall And when I dim the lights in my room tonight Teardrops will fall
Teardrops will fall tonight Tears I can't hide Tears that I tried to keep Deep down inside Tears fall, a love that's gone Beyond recall And when I dim the lights in my room tonight Teardrops will fall
I'm gonna pray tonight, baby Hoping you will hear Maybe you'll right the wrong, now And dry each tear I'll sit alone tonight hoping you will call And when I dim the lights in my room tonight Teardrops will fall
My Father's Eyes Composer(s): Livingston Taylor Performer(s): Livingston Taylor
My father stands before me In a place that's his alone I'm guided to the future I have the world to own I stand up and I'm counted A thousand miles from home Why can I see forever In my father's eyes?
My father sits before me His hands upon his chin His fingers touch his lips Until my story ends. Patiently we get it straight The whos, the whens, the whys... Truth ever protected In my father's eyes
My father's eyes... My father's hands... Oh, Daddy quickly pick me up When will I be a man? When will I live long enough To make somebody fly? When will the mirror show me My father's eyes?
My father's resting in a chair In a long, cold Winter sun He falls into a restless sleep Still itching for the run The arms are thin And the movement slow But there'll be one more try Strength has another measure In my father's eyes
My father's eyes My father's hands Oh, Daddy quickly pick me up When will I be a man? When will I live long enough To make somebody fly? When will the mirror show me My father's eyes?
Good Times Bad Times Composer(s): John Bonham; John Paul Jones; Jimmy Page Performer(s): Led Zeppelin; and various other artists
In the days of my youth I was told what it was to be a man Now I've reached the age I've tried to do all those things the best I can No matter how I try I find my way to do the same old jam
Good Times, Bad Times You know I had my share When my woman left home With a brown eyed man Well, I still don't seem to care
Sixteen: I fell in love With a girl as sweet as could be Only took a couple of days Till she was rid of me She swore that she would be all mine And love me till the end When I whispered in her ear I lost another friend
Good Times, Bad Times You know I had my share When my woman left home With a brown eyed man Well, I still don't seem to care
I know what it means to be alone I sure do wish I was at home I don't care what the neighbors say I'm gonna love you each and every day You can feel the beat within my hear. Realize, sweet babe, we aint't ever gonna part
Teardrops will fall because of you Teardrops will fall for only you I want you so, oh you'll never know how much I need you
Teardrops will fall if you don't need me Teardrops will fall oh please believe me I want you so, oh you'll never know how much I need you
As long as there's a moon above There will be the two of us If you and I were meant to be Tell me you love me and I'll be your only (Teardrops will fall)
Teardrops will fall don't run and hide Teardrops will fall stay by my side I want you so, oh you'll never know how much I need you
As long as there's a moon above There will be the two of us If you and I were meant to be Tell me you love me and I'll be your only (Teardrops will fall)
Teardrops will fall don't run and hide Teardrops will fall stay by my side I want you so, oh you'll never know how much I need you
My Father's Eyes Composer(s): Eric Clapton Performer(s): Eric Clapton; Phil Driscoll; Steve Fishell
Sailing down behind the sun Waiting for my prince to come Praying for the healing rain To restore my soul again
Just a toerag on the run How did I get here? What have I done? When will all my hopes arise? How will I know him? When I look in my father's eyes My father's eyes When I look in my father's eyes My father's eyes
Then the light begins to shine And I hear those ancient lullabies And as I watch this seedling grow Feel my heart start to overflow
Where do I find the words to say? How do I teach him? What do we play? Bit by bit, I've realized That's when I need them That's when I need my father's eyes My father's eyes That's when I need my father's eyes My father's eyes
Then the jagged edge appears Through the distant clouds of tears I'm like a bridge that was washed away My foundations were made of clay
As my soul slides down to die How could I lose him? What did I try? Bit by bit, I've realized That he was here with me I looked into my father's eyes My father's eyes I looked into my father's eyes My father's eyes
My father's eyes My father's eyes I looked into my father's eyes My father's eyes

Teardrops Composer(s): George Harrison Performer(s): George Harrison
Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain
In the heart of the lonely man In and out of love more often where most others can He walks the streets like the losers in some lovers' game He talks so sweet but the news is always much the same
Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain
In the eyes of the lonely one Everything is cold and hopeless that he looks upon He needs a friend a lover who can comfort him His deeds offend he knows that he has brought on him
Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain
Tear Drops Composer(s): Edwin Charles - Helen Stanley - Roy Calhoun Performer(s): Lee Andrews & The Hearts; Debbie Harry
I sit in my room looking out at the rain My tears are like crystals, they cover my window pane I'm thinking of our lost romance and how it should have been Oh if we only could start over again
I know you never forgive me dear, for running out on you I was wrong to take a chance with somebody new I sit in my room looking out at the rain My tears are like crystals, they cover my window pane
I know you never forgive me dear, for running out on you Oh I long to do the things we used to do I'm lonely and I'm blue yet I'll try to get along Without you
Teardrops, teardrops, teardrops
I have to gain faith, hope and charity God only knows the girl who will love me Oh if we only could start over Again

Eliza: What a fool I was! What a dominated fool! To think you were the earth and sky What a fool I was! What an addle-pated fool! What a mutton-headed dolt was I! No, my reverberating friend You are not the beginning and the end! There'll be spring every year without you England still will be here without you There'll be fruit on the tree And a shore by the sea There'll be crumpets and tea Without you Art and music will thrive without you Somehow Keats will survive without you And there still will be rain On that plain down in Spain Even that will remain without you I can do without you You, dear friend, who talk so well You can go to Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire! They can still rule the land without you Windsor Castle will stand without you And without much ado We can all muddle through without you! Without your pulling it, the tide comes in Without your twirling it, the earth can spin Without your pushing them, the clouds roll by If they can do without you, ducky, so can I! I shall not feel alone without you I can stand on my own without you So go back in your shell I can do bloody well Without you!
