If you ever see the girl for me
Tell her that I love her
Tell her that I care
If she ever needs me
Tell her I'll be there
It happened the other night
We argued but we didn't fight
She grabbed her bag and slammed the door
She hasn't been a-back here no more
If  an' how you can see my woman
Tell her that I need her
Tell her she was right
Tell her that I miss her
Oooh, each and every night
I didn't mean a word I said
Tell her I was wrong
And yes, if she'll just listen
Tell her to come back where she belongs
If you ever find that love of mine
Tell her to forgive me
Tell her don't be mean
I didn't mean to start it
I wish it was all just dream
Tell her
Tell her
Oh, how much I love
Oh, how much I need her
How much I love her...

((German Version: Dein ist mein ganzes Herz (Richard Tauber) - 1929))
Composer(s): Franz Lehár
Performer(s): Richard Tauber - 1931



My heart is yours alone!
I cannot be without you
Like a flower that wilts
when unkissed by the sun!
My most beautiful song is yours
for it is created out of love
Tell me once more, my one and only
oh tell me once more
I love you!

Wherever I am
I feel you are near
I want to drink your breath
and kneel adoringly at your feet
yours, yours alone! 
How wonderful is your shining hair!
Dreamy and full of longing
is your radiant gaze
Your voice is music to my ears

My heart is yours alone...

Goodnight, Angel

Goodnight angel
Thanks for another evening in heaven
Just one more kiss to end this perfect day
Before you spread your wings and fly away

Goodnight angel
Until we meet again here in heaven
And may your dreams be just as sweet as you are
Goodnight, angel, goodnight

Goodnight angel
Thanks for another evening in heaven
Just one more kiss to end this perfect day
Before you spread your wings and fly away

Je n'suis sans doute pas très vieux
Mais je connais l'amour
Quand une fille te rend malheureux
Pleure pas tous les jours
Si tu veux qu'elle te voie
Et qu'elle s'attache à toi
Si tu veux qu'elle ne soit
Vraiment rien qu'à toi

Dis-lui que tu l'aimes à la folie
Dis-lui que tu l'aimeras pour la vie
Dis-lui, dis-lui, oh dis-lui, oui dis-le-lui

Je n'suis sans doute pas très vieux
Mais je connais l'amour
Si tu veux enfin être heureux
Sors donc au grand jour
N'attends pas demain
Pour crier cet amour
Prends-la par la main
Sans plus de détour et

Dis-lui que tu l'aimes à la folie
Dis-lui que tu l'aimeras pour la vie
Dis-lui, dis-lui, oh dis-lui, oui dis-le-lui

Moi aussi tout comme toi
J'ai longtemps hésité
Mais l'amour a gagné
Car mon cœur ne savait pas
Jusqu'à ce beau jour
Où oui! Oui on m'a dit: oh toi!

Je n'suis sans doute pas très vieux
Mais je connais l'amour
Si une fille te rend malheureux
Pleure pas tous les jours
Si tu veux qu'elle te voie
Et qu'elle s'attache à toi
Si tu veux qu'elle ne soit
À toi, rien qu'à toi

Dis-lui que tu l'aimes à la folie
Dis-lui que tu l'aimeras pour la vie
Dis-lui, dis-lui, oh dis-lui, oui dis-le-lui

Oh prends-la par la main
Et crie-le-lui
Et dis-le-lui
À vous les filles de crier maintenant
Oh criez donc!
Oh criez-lui!
Oh prends-la par la main maintenant!

My Heart Is Like A Clock
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson; Mary Wells
Performer(s): Mary Wells



You broke my heart, and in that moment it stopped 
Just like a clock that has been dropped 
I thought that everything was fine 
And that our love was gonna last 
And yet we're running out of time 
Just like the sand in a glass 
Now every moment seems like an hour 
Every hour like a day ever since you went away 

My heart is running down 
Just like a clock, it needs to be wound 
Before it stops 
And only your kiss can wind it up and make it get started 
Your kiss can wind it up and make it get started 
So come on & wind it up before I wind up broken-hearted 

My heart is running down 
Just like a clock, it needs to be wound 
Before it stops 
And only your kiss can wind it up and make it get started 
Your kiss can wind it up and make it get started 
So come on & wind it up before I wind up broken-hearted  

And make it get started, oh oh 
Don't wanna be broken-hearted, oh oh 
(Only your kiss can wind it up) ...

Goodnight
Composer(s): Bill Dees; Roy Orbison
Performer(s): Roy Orbison



My lovely woman child 
I found you out running wild with someone new 
You've been untrue 
And everybody knows we're through
But I can't say good-bye to you 
No matter what you do 
My heart won't let you go

Although I know you go with someone new 
I think of you 
I think of how you kiss 
Your tenderness, with all of this 
I miss the way you say goodnight 
Bittersweet your kisses 
When my heart still misses 
The way that things used to be 
But I know you're strong for other arms you long for 
And you can never come back to me

Not just for yesterday 
Tonight or tomorrow 
Ah, but forever, I'll hear you say goodnight 
Goodnight, goodnight turned out to be a lie 
And I can't help it if I cry 
Goodnight, my love, sleep tight, my love, goodnight

Morgen

Performer(s): Lisa Del Bo - 1996



Eén keer slaap ik nog alleen
Dit wordt een lange nacht
Ik wou dat het zonlicht al scheen
Ik lig te woelen

Uren kruipen voorbij
Ik vraag me af of jij
Aan me denken zou
‘k Hou zoveel van jou

Morgen zal ik aan je zijde lopen
Morgen gaat de hemel voor me open
Morgen, morgen
Ja, morgen ben ik van jou

Eén keer slaap ik nog alleen
En dan lig ik naast jou
Eén keer daarna nooit meer alleen
Het wordt een sprookje

Uren kruipen voorbij
De tijd staat stil voor mij
Jij spookt door mijn hoofd
Door geluk verdoofd

Morgen zal ik aan je zijde lopen
Morgen gaat de hemel voor me open
Morgen, morgen
Ja, morgen ben ik van jou

Ik zie een ring, een bruidsboeket
Ik voel betovering met jou hier aan mijn zijde
Ik wil jou beloven schat dat ik jou bekoren zal
Jij bent de ware voor mij

Eén keer slaap ik nog alleen
Ik slaap niet maar ik droom
Over hoe het morgen zal zijn
Als jij zal komen

Uren kruipen voorbij
De tijd staat stil voor mij
‘k Wil de jouwe zijn
Reeds de jouwe zijn

Morgen zal ik aan je zijde lopen
Morgen gaat de hemel voor me open
Morgen, morgen
Ja, morgen ben ik van jou
Oh, ik wacht tot morgen

Morgen zal ik aan je zijde lopen
Morgen gaat de hemel voor me open
Morgen, morgen
Ja, morgen ben ik van jou
Ja, ik wacht tot morgen

Morgen zal ik aan je zijde lopen
Morgen gaat de hemel voor me open
Morgen, morgen
Ja, morgen ben ik van jou

My Heart Is In Ireland
Composer(s): Brian Warfield
Performer(s): Wolfe Tones



In the East End of London, I met an old man
He kept a bar called the Horses and Tram
"My parents were Irish 
They loved that dear land"
The Cockney, he smiled, then he shook my old hand

"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be
Her hills and her valleys are calling to me
Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland
The land of the old folks is calling to me"

Near a coal mine in Wales, by a roadside cafe
A young girl came smiling, and to me did say
"Well, my folks are from Ireland. My Da', he hopes one day
When he leaves the mines, sure we'll go back to stay"

"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be
Her hills and her valleys are calling to me
Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland
The land of the old folks is calling to me"
Then I went through the Midlands, through each city and town
I found there were Irish in each place I roamed
And I drank and I sang at a pub they call the Crown
With the Birmingham irish, we sang songs of home

"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be
Her hills and her valleys are calling to me
Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland
The land of the old folks is calling to me"

Then I went north to Scotland, to Glasgow on the Clyde
I met with some young lads. They said, "Celtic's our side
All our folks are from Ireland, the island of the green
A country we love, but a place we've not seen"

"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be
Her hills and her valleys are calling to me
Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland
The land of the old folks is calling to me"

Goodness Gracious Me
Composer(s): Herbert Kretzmer; David Lee
Performer(s): Peter Sellers & Sophia Loren



Her: Oh doctor, I'm in trouble
Him: Well, goodness gracious me
Her: For every time a certain man
Is standing next to me
Him: Mmm?
Her: A flush comes to my face
And my pulse begins to race
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom
Him: Oh!
Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Him: Well, goodness gracious me

Him: How often does this happen?
When did the trouble start?
You see, my stethoscope is bobbing
To the throbbing of your heart
Her: What kind of man is he
To create this allergy?
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom
Him: Oh!
Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Him: Well, goodness gracious me

Him: From New Delhi to Darjeeling
I have done my share of healing
And I've never yet been beaten or outboxed
I remember that with one jab
Of my needle in the Punjab
How I cleared up beriberi
And the dreaded dysentery
But your complaint has got me really foxed
Her: Oh

Her: Oh doctor, touch my fingers
Him: Well, goodness gracious me
Her: You may be very clever
But however, can't you see
My heart beats much too much
At a certain tender touch
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom
Him: I like it!
Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Him: Well, goodness gracious me

Him: Can I see your tongue?
Her: Aaah
Him: Nothing the matter with it, put it away please
Her: Maybe it's my back
Him: Maybe it is
Her: Shall I lie down?
Him: Yes
Her: Ahhh... 

Him: My initial diagnosis
Rules out measles and thrombosis
Sleeping sickness and, as far as I can tell
Influenza, inflammation
Whooping cough and night starvation
And you'll be so glad to hear
That both your eyeballs are so clear
That I can positively swear that you are well
Ja-ja, ja-ja-ja-ja

Her: Put two and two together
Him: Four
Her: If you have eyes to see
The face that makes my pulses race
Is right in front of me
Him: Oh, there is nothing I can do
For my heart is jumping too
Both: Oh, we go boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom
Her: Goodness gracious
Him: How audacious!
Her: Goodness gracious
Him: How flirtatious!
Her: Goodness gracious
Him: It is me
Her: It is you?
Him: Ah, I'm sorry, it is us
Both: Ahhh!

Tell Him
((Czech Version: Toužíš (Helena Vondrácková s Lucií Bílou) - 2005))
Composer(s): Walter Afanasieff - Linda Thompson - David Foster
First release by: Barbra Streisand & Celine Dion - 1997



I'm scared 
So afraid to show I care 
Will he think me weak 
If I tremble when I speak 
Oooh - what if 
There's another one he's thinking of 
Maybe he's in love 
I'd feel like a fool 
Life can be so cruel 
I don't know what to do 

I've been there 
With my heart out in my hand 
But what you must understand 
You can't let the chance 
To love him pass you by 

Should I 

Tell him 
Tell him that the sun and moon 
Rise in his eyes 
Reach out to him 
And whisper 
Tender words so soft and sweet 
Hold him close to feel his heart beat 
Love will be the gift you give yourself 

Touch him 
With the gentleness you feel inside 
Your love can't be denied 
The truth will set you free 
You'll have what's mean to be 
All in time you'll see 

I love him 
Of that much I can be sure 
I don't think I could endure 
If I let him walk away 
When I have so much to say 

I'll 

Love is light that surely glows 
In the hearts of those who know 
It's a steady flame that grows 
Feed the fire with all the passion you can show 
Tonight love will assume its place 
This memory time cannot erase 
Blind faith will lead love where it has to go 

Never let him go 

My Heart Is Empty
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico



"My heart is empty
But the songs I sing
Are filled with love for you"

A man said that to me
That's how I know

Sometimes love it does not show
Sometimes it does not even know
There is no witness to my anger
When it stabs until he dies
I am looking for the strangler
To help me, help me with my crime

Show me the way to warning
Warning for the morning light
I will stab it with a knife
The blinding sun
The heartbeat for the time to come

The honesty
That lies to you

My heart is empty
But the songs I sing
Are filled with love for you

Good For Nothin' Joe
Composer(s): Ted Koehler; Rube Bloom
Performer(s): Lena Horne;
and various other artists



It's gonna rain any minute
There's not a star in sight
Things are mighty slow
I guess I'll close up shop
And go home to Joe
I know he won't be glad to see me
Without a penny to the good
But I'm not carin' much what happens
I did the best I could
He's just good-for-nothin' Joe
But, oh, I love him so!
Guess I'd die if good-for-nothin' Joe
Ever tried to leave me flat
Oh, yes, I'm certain of that!
Folks I know can't understand
Why I must have that man
Lord, he sends me like nobody can
Ain't a woman just like that!
I wouldn't mind doin' what I'm doin'
I'd beat these streets till my feet were sore
But when it's slow and I go home to him
Instead of sympathy, he's just as mean as can be!
Still, there's nothin' I can do
Because I love him so
I'd be good for nothin', too, I know
Without good-for-nothin' Joe

I'd be good for nothin', too, I know
Without good-for-nothin' Joe
I'm goin' home to Joe

Tell Her You Love Her
Composer(s): Barry Parker - Hugh Halliday
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; Simavi



Tell her you love her each day
You'll make her happy that way
A simple "I love you" means more than money
And with a kiss or two her life is sunny

Give her a reason to live
She needs the love that you give
Always remember that is what she lives for

She hopes you love her...
Tell her you love her! 
Tell her you love her!
Today!

Give her a reason to live
She needs the love that you give

Always remember that is what she lives for

She hopes you love her...
Tell her you love her!
Tell her you love her!
Today!

My Heart Is Dancing With You
Composer(s): Flora Smith; Lewis Ilda; Jos. Geo. Gilbert
Performer(s): Leslie A. Hutchinson



You live in my heart though we’re far apart
You’re there whate’er may betide
Sometimes I may go with friends to a show
But no friend our love can divide

Though I’m dancing tonight with some other one
My heart is dancing with you
Though I’m making believe I’m having some fun
My heart is dancing with you
And when they’re playing our favourite song
My thoughts are with you the whole night long
Though I’m dancing tonight with some other one
My heart is dancing with you

And when they’re playing our favourite song
My thoughts are with you the whole night long
Though I’m dancing tonight with some other one
My heart is dancing with you

Good-Bye-Ee
Composer(s): R.P. Weston; Bert Lee



Brother Bertie went away
To do his bit the other day
With a smile on his lips
and his Lieutenant's pips
upon his shoulder bright and gay
As the train moved out he said
'Remember me to all the birds'
And he wagg'd his paw
and went away to war
Shouting out these pathetic words

Goodbye-ee, goodbye-ee
Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee
Tho' it's hard to part I know
I'll be tickled to death to go
Don't cry-ee, dont sigh-ee
there's a silver lining in the sky-ee
Bonsoir, old thing, cheer-i-o, chin, chin
Nap-poo, toodle-oo
Goodbye-ee

Tell Her She's Lovely

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

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...

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"
