    Telkens Weer
    Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot - Ernst Jansz
    Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



    Nu lig je naast mij, je slaapt
    Ik hoor je ademhalen
    En in het vroege morgenlicht
    Zie ik voor het eerst je kamer

    Je bent zo warm, je bent zo zacht
    Je arm ligt op m'n schouder
    Je bent zo lief geweest vannacht
    Ik heb van je gehouden

    En ik wou dat ik je zeggen kon
    Ik blijf voor altijd bij je
    Dat ik me van die dwaze drang
    Naar vrijheid kon bevrijden

    Maar het gaat niet

    Ik weet dat ik nog jaren
    Naar je kamer zal verlangen
    En naar de platen die je draaide
    Tranen op je wangen

    Zoals je naar me luisterde en fluisterde 'ik snap je'
    Zoals we samen lagen, samen lachten om een grapje
    Oh, ik wou dat ik nog één keer één zo'n nacht met je kon delen
    Je armen om heen, je zachte handen die me strelen

    Telkens weer denk ik aan je ogen bij het afscheid
    Telkens weer wil ik bij je zijn
    Telkens weer denk ik 'ik ga weg en nu voor altijd'
    En ik weet, het doet je pijn

    Je ligt naast me, je slaapt
    Ik hoor je ademhalen
    En in het vroege morgenlicht
    Zie ik weer je kamer

    Je bent zo warm, je bent zo zacht
    Je arm ligt op m'n schouder
    Je bent zo lief geweest vannacht
    Ik heb van je gehouden

    En ik wou dat ik nog één keer één zo'n nacht met je kon delen
    Je armen om heen, je zachte handen die me strelen

    My Heart Belongs To Me Composer(s): Alan Gordon Performer(s): Barbra Streisand



    I got the feelin' the feelin's gone My heart has gone to sleep One of these mornin's I'll be gone My heart belongs to me Can we believe in fairytales Can love survive when all else fails Can't hide the feelin' the feelin's gone My heart belongs to me But now my love, hey, didn't I love you But we knew what had to be Somehow my love, I'll always love you But my heart belongs to me Put out the light and close your eyes Come lie beside me, don't ask why Can't hide the feelin' the feelin's gone My heart belongs to me. (But now my love, hey didn't I love you) (Didn't I love you) (Didn't I love you) (Didn't I love you, baby) Don't cry my love, I'll always love you But my heart belongs to me I got the feelin' the feelin's gone My heart belongs to me (Didn't I love you, didn't I love you)

    Goodbye Dolly Gray
    Composer(s): Will D. Cobb; Paul Barnes
    Performer(s): J.W. Myers;
    Big Four Quartet; Harry MacDonough



    I have come to say goodbye, Dolly Gray
    It's no use to ask me why, Dolly Gray
    There's a murmur in the air, you can hear it everywhere
    It is the time to do and dare, Dolly Gray

    Don't you hear the tramp of feet, Dolly Gray
    Sounding through the village street, Dolly Gray
    'Tis the tramp of soldiers' true in their uniforms so blue
    I must say goodbye to you, Dolly Gray

    Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, though it breaks my heart to go
    Something tells me I am needed at the front to fight the foe
    See, the boys in blue are marching and I can no longer stay
    Hark, I hear the bugle calling, Goodbye Dolly Gray

    Hear the rolling of the drums, Dolly Gray
    Back from war the regiment comes, Dolly Gray
    On your lovely face so fair, I can see a look of fear
    For your soldier boy's not there, Dolly Gray

    For the one you love so well, Dolly Gray
    In the midst of battle fell, Dolly Gray
    With his face toward the foe, as he died he murmured low
    "I must say goodbye and go, Dolly Gray"

    Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, though it breaks my heart to go
    Something tells me I am needed at the front to fight the foe
    See, the boys in blue are marching and I can no longer stay
    Hark, I hear the bugle calling, Goodbye Dolly Gray

    Téléphonez-Moi
    ((Spanish Version: Por Teléfono (Dalida))
    Composer(s): Orlando - Bernard Estardy
    Performer(s): Dalida



    Vous croyez que le monde entier
    S'pend à mon téléphone
    Que je suis toujours invitée
    Par un Dieu, par un homme
    Vous avez peur que je vous dise
    Désolée ma soirée est prise
    Et vous me dérangez en pleine vocalise

    Vous me voyez comme une star
    Mais je ne suis qu'une femme
    Vous savez quelquefois la gloire
    A fait des bleus à mon âme
    J'ai envie d'écouter d'autres mots
    Que ceux qu'on écrit dans les journaux
    Faîtes mon numéro et jetez-vous à l'eau

    Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi
    Je n'attends que ça
    J'ai besoin d'une voix
    Téléphonez-moi dans mon agenda
    J'ai du temps pour moi
    Téléphonez-moi

    Je ne suis pas une panthère rose
    Qui griffe et puis qui s'en va
    Je n'vous aimerais pas over-dose
    Si vous faîtes le premier pas

    Vous m'croyez heureuse et tranquille
    Mais je suis seule sur mon île
    Sans vous toute ma vie ne tient qu'à un fil

    Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi
    Je n'attends que ça
    J'ai besoin d'une voix
    Téléphonez-moi dans mon agenda
    J'ai du temps pour moi
    Téléphonez-moi

    Un soir de 31 décembre
    Dans la vallée des poupées
    Elle était toute seule dans sa chambre
    Personne ne l'a appelée

    C'était la plus belle fille du monde
    Elle était riche, elle était blonde
    Pourtant au dernier coup de minuit
    Adieu la vie

    Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi
    C'est pas des histoires
    Avant qu'il soit trop tard
    Téléphonez-moi les pilules d'espoir
    J'en prends tous les soirs
    Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi
    Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi...

    My Heart Belongs To Daddy
    Composer(s): Cole Porter
    Originally performed by: Mary Martin
    Covered by various other artists



    I used to fall in love with all those boys who maul the young cuties
    But now I find I’m more inclined to keep my mind on my duties

    While tearing off a game of golf
    I may make a play for the caddy
    But when I do, I don’t follow through
    ‘cause my heart belongs to Daddy

    If I invite a boy some night
    To dine on my fine finnan haddie
    I just adore his asking for more
    But my heart belongs to Daddy

    Yes my heart belongs to Daddy
    So I simply couldn’t be bad
    Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
    Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
    So I want to warn you, laddie
    Though I know you’re perfectly swell
    But my heart belongs to Daddy
    ‘cause my Daddy he treats it so well

    There was a dame that a football game
    Made long for the strong undergraddie
    I never dream of making the team
    ‘cause my heart belongs to daddy

    Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
    So I simply couldn’t be bad
    Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
    Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
    So I want to warn you, laddie
    Though I know you’re perfectly swell
    That my heart belongs to Daddy
    ‘cause my Daddy, he treats it so well

    Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
    Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
    Performer(s): Elton John;
    and various other artists



    When are you gonna come down
    When are you going to land
    I should have stayed on the farm
    I should have listened to my old man

    You know you can't hold me forever
    I didn't sign up with you
    I'm not a present for your friends to open
    This boy's too young to be singing the blues

    So goodbye yellow brick road
    Where the dogs of society howl
    You can't plant me in your penthouse
    I'm going back to my plough

    Back to the howling old owl in the woods
    Hunting the horny back toad
    Oh I've finally decided my future lies
    Beyond the yellow brick road

    What do you think you'll do then
    I bet that'll shoot down your plane
    It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
    To set you on your feet again

    Maybe you'll get a replacement
    There's plenty like me to be found
    Mongrels who ain't got a penny
    Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

    The Sound Of Silence
    Composer(s): Paul Simon
    First release by: Simon and Garfunkel - 1964
    Covered by multiple other artists

    Versions In Other Languages:
    1965 - Het Geluid Van Stilte (Boudewijn de Groot)

    1966 - La Tua Immagine (Mike Liddell & Gli Atomi)
    1975 - Il Suono Del Silenzio (Adriano Pappalardo)
    1982 - Chanson D'innocence (Gérard Lenorman)



    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I've come to talk with you again
    Because a vision softly creeping
    Left its seeds while I was sleeping
    And the vision that was planted in my brain
    Still remains
    Within the sound of silence

    In restless dreams I walked alone
    Narrow streets of cobblestone
    Beneath the halo of a street lamp
    I turned my collar to the cold and damp
    When my eyes where stabbed by the flash of a neon light
    That split the night
    And touched the sound of silence

    And in the naked light I saw
    Ten thousand people, maybe more
    People talking without speaking
    People listening without hearing
    People writing songs that voices never share
    And no one there
    Disturbs the sound of silence

    Fools, I said, you do not know
    Silence like a cancer grows
    Hear my words that I might teach you
    Take my arms that I might reach you
    But my words like silent raindrops fell
    And echoed in the wells of silence

    And the people bowed and prayed
    To the neon god they made
    And the sign flashed its warning
    In the words that it was forming
    And the sign said, the words
    Of the prophets are written
    On the subway walls and tenement halls
    And whispered in the sound of silence

    My Heart Beat Like A Hammer
    Composer(s): Jeremy Spencer
    Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac



    I woke up one morning
    Waking with the rising sun
    Woke up one morning
    Awakin' with the rising sun, ahh
    Thought about my baby
    Did I just do what she done

    Well, I shoulda loved you more
    I know I didn't treat her right
    Oh, yes, I shoulda loved you more
    I know I didn't treat her right
    I know that a woman needs
    Rollin' every day and night
    Oh, yeah

    Well, my heart beat like a hammer
    My eyes plumb full of tears
    Yes, my heart beat like a hammer
    My eyes plumb full of tears
    She's been gone about an hour
    But it seems like a thousand years

    Don't ever dog your woman
    You know you're gonna ruin yourself
    Don't ever dog your woman
    You know you're gonna ruin yourself
    Know that a woman she'll
    Run off with somebody else
    Oh, yeah

    Goodbye To Love
    Composer(s): John Bettis; Richard Carpenter
    Performer(s): The Carpenters;
    and various other artists



    I'll say goodbye to love
    No one ever cared if I should live or die
    Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
    And all I know of love is how to live without it
    I just can't seem to find it

    So I' ve made my mind up I must live my life alone
    And thought it's not the easy way
    I guees I' ve always known
    I' d say goodbye to love

    there are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
    Surely time will lose these bitter memories
    And I'll find that there is someone to believe in
    And to live for
    Something I could live for

    All the years of useless search
    Have finally reached an end
    Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
    From this day love is forgotten
    I'll go on as best I can

    What lies in the future is a mistery to us all
    No one can predict the well of fortune as it falls
    there may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong
    But for now this is my song

    And it's goodbye to love
    I'll say goodbye to love

    Telephone Man
    Composer(s): Meri Wilson
    Performer(s): Meri Wilson



    I rented my apartment on a Monday at one
    Singin' doo-lolly-lolly, shakey-bum, shakey-bum
    Started movin' in it on a Tuesday at two
    Singin' doo-lolly-lolly, shakey-doo, shakey-doo
    Wednesday at three I called the phone company
    Singin' hey baby, put a phone in for me
    Thursday at four he came a-knockin' at my door
    Singin' "Hey baby, I'm your telephone man
    You just show me where you want it
    And I'll put it where I can
    I can put it in the bedroom
    I can put it in the hall
    I can put it in the bathroom
    I can hang it on the wall
    You can have it with a buzz
    You can have it with a ring
    And if you really want it
    You can have a ding-a-ling
    Because, hey baby, I'm your telephone man"

    Can you believe that... and then he says...
    "Now when other fellahs call you
    Tell 'em how it all began"
    Well... huh-huh...

    My heart began a-thumpin'
    And my mind began to fly
    And I knew I wasn't dealing
    With no ordinary guy
    So while he was a-talkin'
    I was thinking up my plan
    Then my fingers did the walkin'
    On the telephone man
    Singin' hey-lolly-lolly, hey-lolly-lolly
    Hey lolly-lolly, get it anyway you can

    Right... huh... huh... huh...
    So...

    I got it in the bedroom
    And I got it in the hall
    And I got it in the bathroom
    And he hung it on the wall
    I got it with a buzz
    And I got it with a ring
    And when he told me what my number was
    I got a ding-a-ling
    A-singin' hey-lolly-lolly, hey lolly-lolly
    Hey lolly-lolly, just a-doin' my thing

    Huh... I never did anything like this before...

    and various other artists



    We are in love with you, my heart and I
    And we are always true, my heart and I
    When you are far away each smile's a tear
    But it's a lovely day when you are near
    Maybe that love is blind when passion rules
    And that my heart and I are just two fools
    And yet my darling if you ever say goodbye
    I know we both should die, my heart and I

    Once in a lifetime a love dream comes true
    Just once in a lifetime or never
    I met my fate on the day I met you
    The moment you kissed me I knew
    Strange fascination seems to fill and hold me
    Fateful temptation such as no one ever told me
    Everything I would endure for you
    Come what may, oh, I'll keep smiling through
    My heart is yours so you just take it
    It's only asking not to break it

    We are in love with you, my heart and I
    And we are always true, my heart and I
    When you are far away each smile's a tear
    But it's a lovely day when you are near
    Maybe that love is blind when passion rules
    And that my heart and I are just two fools
    And yet my darling if you ever say goodbye
    I know we both should die, my heart and I

    They were standing in a crowded station
    So unaware
    Of all the people there!
    I didn't mean to hear their conversation
    But anyone could tell
    It was their last farewell!

    Good-bye Sue
    All the best of luck to you!
    You've been my only gal
    What's more, my best pal!

    Please don't cry
    Smile until the clouds roll by!
    Don't kiss me dear, just walk away
    Or I could never ever say
    Good-bye, good-bye Sue!

    (Good-bye Sue) My little Sue!
    (All the best of luck to you!) Good luck to you!
    (You've been my only gal

    Hello--how are you
    Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights
    That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything
    If you'd pick up that telephone

    Hey--how you feelin'
    Are you still the same
    Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream
    I just can't believe
    They've all faded out of view

    I look into the sky
    And I wonder why

    Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
    Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight

    O.K. so no--one's answering
    Well can't you just let it ring a little longer
    I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night
    Let it ring for evermore

    Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight

    My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains
    Composer(s): Don Van Vliet
    Originally performed by: Captain Beefheart



    I'll let a train be my feet
    If it's too far to walk to you
    If a train don't go there I'll get a jet or a bus
    Because I'm going to find you
    You're going to see me shadow soon around you
    And my head is my only house unless it rains

    I walk the meadow plains

    Water deserts are my eyes until I find you
    I won't sleep until I find you
    I won't eat until I find you
    My heart won't beat until
    I wrap my arms around you

    My arms are just two things in the way

    Until I can wrap them around you
    You can make my sad song happy
    Make a bad world good
    I can feel you out there moving
    You're mine, I know I'll find you
    And my head is my only house until I've found you

    I hate to have other people hear me sing this song

    If this reaches you before I do
    Follow it to "I love you"
    That's where I'll find you
    And my head is my only house until I find you

    And I really have enjoyed my stay
    But I must be movin' on

    Like a king without a castle
    Like a queen without a throne
    I'm an early mornin' lover
    And I must be movin' on

    Now I believe in what you say
    Is the undisputed truth
    But I have to have things my own way
    Just to keep me in my youth

    Like a ship without an anchor
    Like a slave without a chain
    Just the thought of those sweet ladies
    Sends a shiver through my brains

    And I will go on shining
    Shinin' like brand new.
    I'll never look behind me
    My troubles will be few

    Chorus:
    Goodbye stranger, it's been nice
    Hope you find your paradise
    Tried to see your point of view
    Hope your dreams will all come true

    Goodbye, Mary
    Goodbye, Jane
    Will we ever meet again?
    Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
    Come tomorrow, feel no pain

    And sweet devotion, it's not for me
    Just give me motion and set me free
    And the land and the ocean far away
    Is the life I've chosen everyday

    Now some they do and some they don't
    And some you just can't tell
    And some they will and some they won't
    With some it's just as well

    You can laugh at my behaviour
    That'll never bother me
    Say the devil is my saviour
    But I won't pay no heed

    Chorus (Repeat)

    Telegraph Road
    Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
    Performer(s): Dire Straits



    A long time ago came a man on a track
    walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
    and he put down his load where he thought it was the best
    he made a home in the wilderness
    he built a cabin and a winter store
    and he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
    and the other travellers came riding down the track
    and they never went further and they never went back
    then came the churches then came the schools
    then came the lawyers then came the rules
    then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
    and the dirty old track was the telegraph road
    Then came the mines - then came the ore
    then there was the hard times then there was a war
    telegraph sang a song about the world outside
    telegraph road got so deep and so wide
    like a rolling river...
    And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
    people driving home from the factories
    there's six lanes of traffic
    three lanes moving slow...
    I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
    I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
    yes, and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
    we're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed
    and the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
    they can always fly away from this rain and this cold
    you can hear them singing out their telegraph code
    all the way down the telegraph road
    You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
    when life was just a bet on a race between the lights
    you had your hand on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair
    now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care...
    but believe in me baby and I'll take you away
    from out of this darkness and into the day
    from these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain
    from the anger that lives on these streets with these names
    'cos I've run every red light on memory lane
    I've seen desperation explode into flames
    and I don't wanna see it again...
    From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
    all the way down the telegraph road

    My Hawaiian Rose
    Composer(s): Walter Bolian; James G. Henshel



    On an island fair where the flowers rare
    With their fragrance fills the balmy air
    Where fair maidens are I hear the old guitar
    Calling me back to this land a far
    Where the palm trees sway and the lovers gay
    sing love songs all the while
    There my heart goes back to a rose
    I left upon this flowered isle

    Where the twilight fades
    then the soft night shades
    Make me long for the land of dark eyed maids
    And there comes to me across the sea
    Visions that gill me with ecstasy
    And in restless dreams it always seems
    I hear this rose implore
    That I once more come to the shore
    Where love and song lives ever more

    Each gentle breeze brings me memories
    Of my sweet Hawaiian Rose
    And each flower fair I find blooming there
    To me her charms disclose
    But then I know that I will go
    At winters close to seek repose
    In the arms of my Hawaiian Rose

    Goodbye So Soon
    Composer(s): Henry Mancini
    Performer(s): Vincent Price



    Goodbye so soon
    And isn't this a crime
    We know by now that time knows how to fly
    So here's goodbye so soon
    You'll find your separate way
    With time so short I'll say so long
    And go
    So soon
    Goodbye

    You followed me, I followed you
    We were like each other's shadows for a while
    Now as you see, this game is through
    So although it hurts, I'll try to smile
    As I say goodbye so soon
    And isn't this a crime
    We know by now that time knows how to fly
    So here's goodbye so soon
    You'll find your separate way
    With time so short I'll say so long
    And go
    So soon
    Goodbye

    Télégramme
    Composer(s): Michel Emer
    Performer(s): Edith Piaf



    C'est un télégramme pour Marie Belage
    Dans la cour, escalier B, cinquième étage
    Troisième porte à gauche, deux marches à descendre
    Frapper fort pour qu'elle puisse vous entendre

    Le p'tit facteur grimpe quatre à quatre
    Un vieille demoiselle vient ouvrir
    D'une voix dure et acariâtre
    Elle dit "merci" puis se retire
    Elle ouvre en tremblant la dépêche
    En général, on n'aime pas ça
    Elle lit tout haut, la gorge sèche
    Puis elle relit dix fois tout bas
    "Serai Orly - huit heures - deux mai -
    Suis impatient - suis fou de joie -
    Je vous adore plus que jamais -
    Amour - baisers - signé - ...François..."

    Elle retourne vingt ans en arrière
    Comme ils s'aimaient, il y a vingt ans
    Mais ses parents hélas, le refusèrent
    Il n'avait pas un sou vaillant
    "Je reviendrai fortune faite"
    Lui a-t-il dit
    "Je t'attendrai
    Je veux aussi que tu promettes
    Que tu ne m'oublieras jamais"
    Il est parti - les mois, les années passent
    Elle est toute seule devant la vie
    Beauté, fraîcheur, jeunesse... tout s'efface
    Et plus d'argent, donc plus d'amis...

    Les voyageurs arrivant du Mexique
    Ah le voilà! Comme il est grand!
    Ses tempes grises lui donnent l'air poétique
    Il est plus beau qu'il y a vingt ans
    Elle est toute pâle et ses mains brûlent
    Comme il bat fort son pauvre cœur
    Il vient vers elle, il la bouscule
    "J'vous demande pardon!... Dites-moi, porteur!
    Je cherche une dame élégante et très belle
    De grands yeux bleus, des cheveux blonds
    Plutôt petite... Attendez! J'crois que c'est elle...
    Ah! Non, ce n'est pas elle...
    J'vous demande pardon!..."

    Vous n'auriez pas vu une dame blonde -
    Elégante - très belle -
    Vous n'auriez pas vu une dame blonde -
    Elégante - très belle -
    Vous n'auriez pas vu...

    My Happiness
    Composer(s): Betty Peterson; Borney Bergantine
    Performer(s): Connie Francis
    and various other artists



    Evening shadows make me blue
    When each weary day is through
    How I long to be with you
    My happiness

    Every day I reminesce
    Dreaming of your tender kiss
    Always thinking how I miss
    My happiness

    A million years it seems
    Have gone by since we shared our dreams
    But I'll hold you again
    There'll be no blue memories then

    Whether skies are grey or blue
    Any place on earth will do
    Just as long as I'm with you
    My happiness

    A million years it seems
    Have gone by since we shared our dreams
    But I'll hold you again
    There'll be no blue memories then

    Whether skies are grey or blue
    Any place on earth will do
    Just as long as I'm with you
    My happiness
