Tell Her She's Lovely
Composer(s): David Batteau
First release by: Batteaux - 1973
Tell her, tell her she's lovely
Tell her, she knows how to suffer
People want to think that they are
the only ones who really are alone
People want to think that they are
the only ones who really are alone
People, are so beautiful in love
People, are so wonderful to love
People want to think that they are
the only ones who really are alone
Thinking a little bit over
Try to know one and another
Waiting a little bit longer
Thinking a little bit over, yeaaaaa
Tell her, love is a song
Sing out, sing out, all night long
People want to think that they are
the only ones who really are alone
Thinking a little bit over
Try to know one and another
Waiting a little bit longer
Thinking a little bit over, yeaaaaa
Tell her, tell her she's lovely
Tell her, tell her she's lovely
Tell her, tell her she's lovely
Tell her, tell her she's lovely
Tell her, tell her she's lovely
Tell her, tell her she's lovely...

Goodbye Mary Dear (aka I'll Be There, Mary Dear) (aka Mary Dear) Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling; Harry Von Tilzer Performer(s): Charlie Poole; and various other artists
"Goodbye, Mary I must go" Said a lad, "Now don't grieve so For it's duty calls me far across the sea" "Take this autumn leaf of gold" Said the maid, "'Twill ne'er grow old Always wear it next to your heart and think of me"
"Meet me yonder down the lane When I come back home again 'Neath the tree where this golden leaf once grew Kiss me, Mary, then we'll part" Said the lad with a broken heart "When the leaves begin to fall, I'll be with you"
"I'll be there, Mary dear, I'll be there When the fragrance of the roses fills the air 'Neath that old tree grand and tall When the leaves begin to fall, I'll be there, yes, I'll be there, sweet Mary dear"
See the lad with empty sleeve Of his comrades taking leave They were home again, the transport had come back "If she loved you long ago, She won't love you less, I know But one arm will do to hold her to you, Jack"
It was autumn time again As he wandered down the lane There beneath that old oak tree he found a grave So he knelt in silent prayer For the one he loved slept there As the tears fell on the golden leaf she gave
"I'll be there, Mary dear, I'll be there When the fragrance of the roses fills the air 'Neath that old tree grand and tall When the leaves begin to fall I'll be there, yes, I'll be there, sweet Mary dear"

And if she should tell you come closer And if she tempts you with her charms

My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Jack Keller Performer(s): Connie Francis and various other artists
I told this heart of mine our love could never be But then I hear your voice and somethin' stirs inside of me Somehow I can't resist the memory of your kiss Guess my heart has a mind of its own
No matter what I do, no matter what I say No matter how I try I just can't turn the other way When I'm with someone new I always think of you Guess my heart has a mind of its own
You're not in love with me so why can't I forget I'm just your "used-to-be", it's wrong, and yet
I know forgetting you would be a hopeless thing For I'm a puppet and I just can't seem to break the string I say "I'll let you go" but then my heart says "no" Guess my heart has a mind of its own
Good-Bye, Little Girl Of My Dreams Composer(s): Richard Howard; Fred Phillips
I wonder and wonder, if there'll come a day when the girl of my dreams will exist I wonder and wonder and hope that there may For only in dreams we kissed I see her fair face every night in my dreams it's as sweet as the roses that bloom But soon it is morn and then she is gone So I say as she fades with the moon
There's millions of girls in this beautiful world there's a girl for each boy so they say So I'll wait thro' the years 'till my dream girl appears For I know I shall meet her some day How happy I'd be at the break of the dawn Just to find her at rest in my arms Never more have to sigh Never more say goodbye To the girl of those wonderful charms
Goodbye little girl of my dreams Goodbye little girl of my dreams I'd like to feel That you are real For you are mine it seems Lovelight in your eyes brightly gleams You say just for me that it beams So I'll love only thee Tho' in dreams it may be Goodbye little girl of my dreams

Goodbye Little Dream, Goodbye Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Barbara Lea; and various other artists
You made my romance sublime Now its time to fly For the stars have fled from the heavens The moons deserted the hill And the sultry breeze that sang in the trees Is suddenly strangely still
Its done, little dream, its done So bid me a fond farewell Weve both had our fun Was it Romeo or Juliet Who said, when about to die? Love is not all peaches and cream Little dream, goodbye
Was it Romeo or Juliet Who said, when about to die? Love is not all peaches and cream Little dream, goodbye

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...

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
