I Talk To The Trees Dutch Title: We Zullen Wel Zien - 1970 Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe First recording by: Tony Bavaar & Olga San Juan - 1951 Covered by multiple other artists
I talk to the trees But they don't listen to me I talk to the stars But they never hear me The breeze hasn't time To stop and hear what I say I talk to them all in vain But suddenly my words Reach someone else's ear At someone else's heart strings too I tell you my dreams And while you're listening to me I suddenly see them come true I can see us some April night Looking out across a rollin' farm Having supper in the candlelight Walking later, arm in arm Then I'll tell you how I pass the day Thinking mainly how the night would be Then I'll try to find the words to say All the things you mean to me I tell you my dreams And while you're listening to me I suddenly see them come true
Eight Line Poem Composer(s): David Bowie
Performer(s): David Bowie
The tactful cactus by your window Surveys the prairie of your room The mobile spins to its collision Clara puts her head between her paws They've opened shops down West side Will all the cacti find a home But the key to the city Is in the sun that pins the branches to the sky
Try not to look so pretty The next time that we meet Please don't look so pretty And I won't act so weak Please don't look so pretty You're lovely but it's just cruel Try not to look so pretty And I'll try not to be your fool
You walk in and steal my mind But who gave you the right To treat me like some useless thought You throw away each night
Please don't look so pretty You're lovely but it's just cruel Try not to look so pretty And I'll try not to be your fool
You make it hard on me But I'll try to pretend That you're just a lovesick dream That always has to end
Please don't look so pretty You're lovely but it's just cruel Try not to look so pretty And I'll try not to be your fool

Eight Is Enough Composer(s): Lee Holdridge - Molly-Ann Leikin
Performer(s): Grant Goodeve
There's a magic in the early morning we've found When the sunrise smiles on everything around It's a portrait of the happiness that we feel and always will Oh, eight is enough to fill our lives with love
Oh, we're lucky we can share this beautiful space So many find the world an empty place Anyone who asks to stand alone is always standing still And eight is enough to fill our lives with love
Oh, love makes all the difference now And one that really shows Just look at everyone of us See how it overflows
Oh, We spend our days like bright and shiny new dimes If we're ever puzzled by the changing times There's a plate of homemade wishes on the kitchen window sill And eight is enough to fill our lives with love

Here he comes now I've got to tell him somehow I could put it off till later but it's best I do it now
Baby listen to me there is something I must try to say I've put it off so long but I've decided that today is the day My love for you is dying Oh no, please don't start crying I take it back I didn't mean it Please forget the things I said I take it back I'm sorry I must have been out Of my head
He's such a man It must have hurt him a lot if he let me see him cry But I must try again...this time I'll say goodbye
Baby you've been good to me you've always been the best you could So try to understand me now the way you've always understood I can't go on another day Oh please, don't look at me that way I take it back I didn't mean it Please forget what I just said I take it back I'm sorry I must have been out Of my head

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

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
