Try A Little Tenderness
((Dutch Version: Een Beetje Tederheid (Raymond van Het Groenewoud) - 1998))
Composer(s): Harold Woods - Jimmy Campbell - Reginald Connelly
First recording/First release: Ray Noble and His Orch. - 1932/1933
Covered by multiple other artists



In the hustle of the day, we're all inclined to miss 
Little things that mean so much 
A word, a smile, and a kiss 
When a woman loves a man, he's a hero in her eyes 
And a hero he can always be if he'll just realise 

She may be weary, women do get weary 
Wearing the same shabby dress 
And when she's weary, try a little tenderness 

She may be waiting, just anticipating 
Things she may never possess 
While she's without them, try a little tenderness 

It's not just sentimental, she has her grief and her care 
But a word that's soft and gentle makes it easier to bear 

You won't regret it, women don't forget it 
Love is their whole happiness 
And it's all so easy, try a little tenderness 

I Sure Miss You
Composer(s): Tex Davis; Evelyn Bryan
First release by: Gene Vincent & The Blue Caps - 1957



You took away my lovely dreams
But I don't need those things at all
You took away the kisses that I love
You took away most everything
But I don't miss one single thing
But I, I sure miss you

I miss you every morning
I miss you every night
I miss you most of all whenever
I wanna be loved just right

You took away most everything
But I don't miss one single thing
But I, I sure miss you

Well, I miss you every morning
Well, I miss you every night
Well, I miss you most of all whenever
I wanna, I wanna be loved just right

You took away most everything
But I don't miss one single thing
But oh, I sure miss you

Eh L'amour!
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat; Zizi Jeanmaire



Eh l'amour tes gigolos ont su trouver l'filon
Qu'ils fassent la rue ou qu'ils fassent des chansons
Depuis l'temps qu'ils s'occupent de croquer tes millions
Eh l'amour t'as mauvaise mine tu sais dans tes romans
Et dans ces films où tu parais tout l'temps
Entre une voiture de sport et deux téléphones blancs
Eh l'amour si tu veux bien ce soir
Oublie donc tes trottoirs
Tes pin-ups tes dollars
Eh l'amour et reviens-moi tout nu sur tes ergots
Comme j't'ai connu quand on était jeunot
Et qu'on n'avait rien sur le dos

Eh l'amour oui te voilà t'es bien toujours pareil
T'as pas changé t'es comme cendre et soleil
Tout gris quand tu t'endors et bleu à ton réveil
Eh l'amour comme un grand frère viens t'asseoir à mes genoux
Tu sais très bien que je n's'rai pas jaloux
De tes bonheurs d'un jour de tes mômes à deux sous
Eh l'amour quand tu défais leur lit
Si tu vois l'paradis
Tu pourrais m'faire des prix
Eh l'amour avant d'courir vers d'autres rendez-vous
Mets tes dentelles et rejoue moi frou frou
Attention au voisin d'en d'ssous

Eh l'amour pardonne-nous tous nos accordéons
Pardonne-nous ces vers de mirliton
Qu'on chante à ton baptême ou pour ton oraison
Eh l'amour depuis le temps qu'tu rimes avec toujours
Si ça t'ennuie d'écouter nos discours
On pourrait tous les deux s'en aller faire un tour
Eh l'amour tu sais bien qu'avec moi
Tu feras c'que tu voudras
Qu'importe où l'on ira
Eh l'amour déploie tes ailes comme un vrai chérubin
On arriv'ra sans doute un beau matin
Au septième ciel et même un peu plus loin

Een Beetje Tederheid

Performer(s): Raymond van Het Groenewoud - 1998



Oh, ze mag dan triest zijn
En meisjes, ze kunnen triest zijn
Stervend van plotse eenzaamheid
Maar wanneer ze triest is
Probeer een beetje tederheid

Je weet, ze zit te wachten
Vruchteloos zit ze te smachten
Naar de diepste, diepste, diepste geborgenheid
Maar terwijl ze zit te wachten
Ga naar haar en geef een beetje tederheid

Nee, nee, nee, dit is geen domme smartlap, oh, nee
Het is pijn, niemand voelt haar aan
En één lief woordje, zacht voor haar gesproken
Dat maakt het draaglijker, draaglijker in haar bestaan

Het zal je niet berouwen, o nee
Ze zal het steeds onthouden
Liefde, dat is hun hele zaligheid
En eigenlijk, ‘t is al zo simpel
Al wat je moet doen
Dat is geven, ja geven
Een beetje, een beetje tederheid

Je moet haar helpen, strelen, verwarmen, omarmen
Ga naar haar, oh, en geef een beetje tederheid
Ja ja, ze heeft het nodig, ze heeft het nodig
Luister naar mij

Je moet haar helpen, strelen, verwarmen, omarmen
Ga naar haar, zachtjes, oh, en geef een beetje tederheid
Ah, niemand, niemand ziet haar graag!
Oh, luister

Je moet haar helpen, strelen, verwarmen, omarmen
Ga! Ga dan toch! Ga!
En geef een beetje tederheid
Oh, helpen, helpen

I Still See Elisa
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Clint Eastwood
and multiple other artists



I still see Elisa
She keeps on returning
As breathless, young as ever

I still see Elisa
And still feel the yearning
To hold her against me again

Her heart was made of holidays
Her smile was made of dawn
Her laughter was an April song
That echoes on and on

Since I saw Elisa
The shadows are falling
And winter is calling above
But I still see Elisa

Whenever I dream of love

Eh Ben

((Danish Version: Hey There (Gustav Winckler) - 1964))
Composer(s): Jerry Ross - Richard Adler - A. Lesser
Performer(s): Dalida - 1956



Eh ben!
Toi qui te croyais si forte
Toi qui semblais si sur de toi
Qu'es ce qu'il t'arrive là

Eh ben!
Voila que soudain tu t'emportes
Et tu te vois déjà dans ses bras
Lui qui n'a pas un regard pour toi
Allons oublie le
Lui et son rire dans les yeux
Lui qui s'amuse avec ton cœur
Lui et ses airs vainqueur

Tu n'y vois donc plus clair
Tu n'es donc plus sur terre
Je voudrais que tu te réveilles
Mais je vois bien que mes conseils
Dés qu'ils entrent par une oreille
S'en vont par l'autre

Tu n'y vois donc plus clair
Tu n'es donc plus sur terre
Je voudrais que tu te réveilles
Mais je vois bien que mes conseils
Dés qu'ils entrent par une oreille
S'en vont par l'autre

Try A Little Kindness
Composer(s): Bobby Austin - Curt Sapaugh
First release: Glen Campbell - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he's sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and stay you're going the wrong way

You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day
Will help someone along their way

You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

I Still Remember
Composer(s): Gary Numan
Performer(s): Gary Numan



So you’ve gone
Singing some old love song
I’ve nothing more to lose

I’m surrounded
By old stories
With nowhere to hide

I could tear
All your pictures
I could tear everything

You told me
Time makes it easy but you
Never told me time stands still

I can’t believe it
I can’t believe how it hurts
I can’t believe it
I can’t believe how love burns away

I remember

I can’t sleep
All your words
Seem to let me down

Where are you
Why don’t you call
It’s been a long long time

I still remember
I still remember it all
I still remember
I still remember how love burned away

This could be
My last song
Everything must end some day

Egyptland
Performer(s): Bartley Costello - W. Casey



Drift o'ver the sun kissed desert
Stop where the old Nile flows
There's where my heart is roaming 
There's where I left my rose 
Pretty as Cleopatra, mild as the summer breeze
Egypt I dwell in your land 
Tho' far across the seas

To pyramids and sand dunes
Wonders of puny man
Nightly with joy I wander 
In a dream caravan
Seated high on my camel 
Free as the very air
But I wake from dreaming
And sigh that I'm not there

Egypt land 
Land of my river Nile
Life with you made living well worth while
Egypt land, keep the rose I left there faithful 
And I'll be true
To you my Egypt land

Truth About Romeo
Performer(s): David Crosby



Well, it comes down to this
She's caught on to the clues now
He's got the news
He understands
She's not all wrapped up in the palm of his hand
Juliet, she won't come down
Her head's high in the castle
Her heart's underground
It's as if, she didn't know
The truth about Romeo
The truth about Ro-o-Romeo

I Still Miss Someone
Composer(s): Roy Cash Jr.; Johnny Cash
First release by: Johnny Cash - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists



At my door the leaves are falling 
A cold wild wind has come
Sweethearts walk by together
And I still miss someone

I go out on a party
And look for a little fun
But I find a darkened corner
because I still miss someone

Oh, no I never got over those blues eyes
I see them every where
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there

I wonder if she's sorry
For leaving what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone

Eggs And Sausage (In a Cadillac With Susan Michelson)
Composer(s): Tom Waits
Performer(s): Tom Waits



Nighthawks at the diner
Emma's 49er
There's a rendezvous of strangers
Around the coffee urn tonight
All the gypsy hacks and the insomniacs
Now the paper's been read
Now the waitress said
Eggs and sausage and a side of toast
Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries
What kind of pie?
It's a graveyard charade it's a late shift masquerade
And it's 2 for a quarter, dime for a dance
Woolworth rhinestone diamond earrings and a sideway's glance
Now the register rings
Now the waitress sings
Eggs and sausage and a side of toast
Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries
What kind of pie?
The classified section offers no direction
It's a cold caffeine in a nicotine cloud
Now the touch of your fingers
Lingers burning in my memory
I've been 86ed from your scheme
Now I'm in a melodramatic nocturnal scene
Now I'm a refugee from a disconcerted affair
Now the lead pipe morning fall
Now the waitress call
Eggs and sausage, now a side of toast
Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries
And now what kind of pie?
À la mode if you will
Just come in and join the crowd
Have some time to kill
See I just come in to join the crowd
Have some time to kill
Just come in to join the crowd
'Cause I have some time to kill

Trusting My Luck
Composer(s): Arthur Johnston - Maurice Sigler
Performer(s): Jessie Matthews



Pardon me if I seem optimistic
Excuse me please if I seem light and gay
For, you see, I have a few suspicions
That everything will turn out quite OK

And so I’m trusting my luck I’ve got my fingers crossed
I’ve got a hunch my honeybunch cares for me
I’m trusting my luck true love is never lost
I’ve got a heart and he’s got the lock and key
I’m getting my keepsake
On the honeymoon sweepstake
So whenever my luck breaks
It better be good, knock on wood
I’m trusting my luck, I’ll keep my fingers crossed
And almost guarantee
That my honeybunch cares for me

And so I’m trusting my luck I’ve got my fingers crossed
I’ve got a hunch my honeybunch cares for me
I’m trusting my luck true love is never lost
I’ve got a heart and he’s got the lock and key
I’m getting my keepsake
On the honeymoon sweepstake
So whenever my luck breaks
It better be good, knock on wood
I’m trusting my luck, I’ll keep my fingers crossed
And almost guarantee
That my honeybunch cares for me

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Composer(s): Bono; The Edge; Adam Clayton; Larry Mullen
First release by: U2 - 1987
Covered by multiple other artists



I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...

Last night
I saw a fire burning on
The palace lawn
O'er the land
The humble subjects watched in mixed
Emotion
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Last night
I saw the fire spreadin' to
The palace door
Silent majority
Weren't keepin' quiet
Anymore
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Last night
I saw the fire spreadin' to
The country side
In the mornin'
Few were left to watch
The ashes die
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Why?
Why?
Why?
Effigy

Come to me without more speculation
Have no fear, give me your hand, my dear...

Trust in me in all you do

If only you trust in me

Cling to me and I'll be strong

While there's a moon on high
While there's a bird to fly
While there's a you and I
You can be sure I love you

Stand beside me all the while
Face the future with a smile
Trust in me and
I'll be worthy of you

I Still Have That Other Girl
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Elvis Costello
Performer(s): Elvis Costello; Burt Bacharach; Bill Frisell



I have to say that we should finish it now
Before we weaken ’cause we already know this is wrong
I could give in, sometimes I think that I will
Despite the temptation I try to be very strong
In my reluctance seems a surprise
It’s not ’cause I don’t want you

But I just
Know I must... hesitate

Because I still have that other girl
In my head
I still have that other girl in my head

There may be ugly rumors that
I have been lying
There may be angry tears, but
They’re never worth the crying

That is why
Sometimes I... hesitate

Because I still have that other girl
In my head
I still have that other girl in my head
I still have that other girl in my head

Effeuille-Moi Le Coeur
Composer(s): Johnny Rech - Bernard Ilous
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy



Effeuille-moi le cœur
Je me ferai fleur
Et tu seras jardinier
Effeuille-moi
Au lit de ton jardin
Je voudrai vivre l'éternité
Effeuille-moi le cœur
Arrête les heures
Sur l'histoire de notre amour
Effeuille-moi
Au lit de notre vie
Effeuille-moi
Et ce jusqu'au lever du jour
Protège-moi du vent, mon amour
Protège-moi du temps
Protège le encore et longtemps
Cet amour
Effeuille-moi le cœur
Tant pis si j'en meure
Tant mieux si c'est de tes doigts
Effeuille-moi
Au lit des souvenirs
Effeuille-moi
Encore une fois
Effeuille-moi le cœur
Et sèche les pleurs
Qui me viennent les jours d'ennui
Effeuille-moi
Au lit de notre amour
Effeuille-moi
Et ce jusqu'à la fin de jour

Truly Julie's Blues (I'll Be There)
Performer(s): Bob Lind



When you're thirsty and no one will fill your cup for you
And your well-dressed friends don't want you on their street
When you are so far down, the gutter looks like up to you
I will still be knealing at your feet
I will still be knealing at your feet

When you can't remember where you left your laughter
And you forget the definition of your name
When your yesterday sets fire to your ever after
I'll reach down and pull you from the flames
I'll reach down and pull you from the flames

When all the crippled children you give strength too
Lay their crutches down and walk away
And you realise that all their Mothers hate you
I'll be there to hear the things you say
I'll be there to hear the things you say

When at last your bitter problems all ignore you
And you've come out clean, everything is done
And you realise I've been through it all before you
Come down and walk beside me in the sun
Come down and walk beside me in the sun

I Still Have Dreams
Composer(s): Billy Batshore
Performer(s): Richie Furay



You can find me
When you need me
I'll be around
You're still on my mind
But I guess until
This feeling leaves me
I'm all alone
On the other side
Well I still have dreams
Where you still love me
That probably comes
As a surprise
But those dreams
Seem so foolish
When I remember the day
You walked right by
Is this good-bye
I'll never know why
We never talked
At all about it
I don't know why
Don't know whose fault
Soon I'll be gone
And for a long time

And too far gone
To work it all out
Well I still have dreams
Where you still love me
That probably comes
As a surprise
But those dreams
Seem so foolish
When I remember the day
You walked right by
When I remember the day
You walked right by
