When you're lonely when you're blue When you need someone to talk to When you need a talking to And when troubles full and plenty come piling at your door That's what friends are for

'T Is Te Gek English Title: Just Like That Performer(s): De Ministars
Soms moet ik heel alleen een "song" in de morgen 't Klinkt zo gevoelig dat ik kippevel krijg Als een betovering Niemand luistert als ik zachtjes meezing
De zangeres zit zeker met een probleem De tranen druppen door de radio heen Ik kan haar niet verstaan Waar zou al die ellende toch over gaan
('t Is te gek) Dat ik er echt geen flauwe notie van heb Waar het lied over gaat Waar dat snikken op slaat
('t Is te gek) Ik pak het woordenboek van 't school er maar bij Maar de sound die ik mix Nou die zegt me mooi niks
Toch zing ik door "In a way", uit de weg 'k Voel me eenzaam Altijd, m'n lover's een eenzame man
('t Is te gek) Dat ik er echt geen flauwe notie van heb Waar het lied over gaat Waar dat snikken op slaat
't Zijn de gitaren die zo smart'lijk klinken Het is een stem die iemand zacht iets verwijt Of is dat fantasie Misschien is ze gewoon een contactlens kwijt
('t Is te gek) Dat ik er echt geen flauwe notie van heb Waar het lied over gaat Waar dat snikken op slaat
('t Is te gek) Ik pak het woordenboek van 't school er maar bij Maar de sound die ik mix Nou die zegt me mooi niks
Toch zing ik door "In a way", uit de weg 'k Voel me eenzaam Altijd, m'n lover's een eenzame man
('t Is te gek) Dat ik er echt geen flauwe notie van heb Waar dat lied over gaat Waar dat snikken op slaat

Slow Hand Composer(s): John Bettis; Michael Clark Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters
As the midnight moon, was drifting through The lazy sway of the trees I saw the look in your eyes, lookin' into mine Seeing what you wanted to see Darlin' don't say a word, cause I already heard What your body's sayin' to mine I'm tired of fast moves I've got a slow groove... On my mind
I want a man with a slow hand I want a lover with an easy touch I want somebody who will spend some time Not come and go in a heated rush I want somebody who will understand When it comes to love, I want a slow hand
On shadowed ground, with no one around And a blanket of stars in our eyes We are drifting free, like two lost leaves On the crazy wind of the night Darlin', don't say a word, 'cause I already heard What your body's sayin' to mine If I want it all night You say it's alright We got the time
'Cause I got a man with a slow hand I got a lover with an easy touch I found somebody who will spend some time Not come and go in a heated rush I found somebody who will understand When it comes to love, I want a slow hand
If I want it all night Please say it's alright It's not a fast move But a slow groove On my mind
'Cause I got a man with a slow hand I got a lover with an easy touch I found somebody who will spend some time Not come and go in a heated rush I found somebody who will understand When it comes to love, I want a slow hand

(This Is A) Song For The Lonely Composer(s): Paul Barry; M. Taylor; Steve Torch Performer(s): Cher; Share & Share Alike
When you're standing on the edge of nowhere There's only one way up So your heart's got to go there Through the darkest night See the light shine bright When hero's fall, in love or war They live forever
(Chorus) This is a song - for the lonely Can you hear me tonight For the broken hearted, battle scared I'll Be by your side And this is a song - for the lonely When your dreams won't come true Can you hear this prayer 'Coz someone's there for you
We'll love don't need a reason She can pick you up Or leave you bleeding I've seen a strong man cry I know the reason why We all forgive, we all forget We just keep believing
(Chorus)
So let it find you Wherever you may go I'm right beside you You don't have to look no more You don't have to look no more, oh no
(Chorus)
It's gonna be alright It's gonna be alright It's gonna be alright
This is a song A song for the lonely And that's not you only Through the darkest night You're gonna see the light
Love don't need a reason Just to leave you bleeding
Can you hear this prayer Someone's there
This is a song - for the lonely Can you hear me tonight For the broken hearted, battle scared I'll be by your side And this is a song For the lonely

Comme disait le vieux Sébastien "Y'a pas de mal à se faire du bien" La vie c'est du cinéma Qu'on ne regarde qu'une fois Pourquoi bouder son désir Quand y'a de la gêne, y'a pas de plaisir Moi je dis tout simplement C'est beau la vie à vingt cinq ans
Y'a pas de mal tu sais à se faire du bien La la la Y'a pas de mal et ça ne coûte rien Prends ton coeur et ta vie par la main La la la On est sur la terre Pour se laisser faire Y'a pas de mal à se faire du bien La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Toi, tu coupes, tu tailles, tu tranches Ta vie n'est pas un dimanche Tu réfléchis, tu t'inquiètes Tu calcules et tu perds la tête Pourquoi chercher à comprendre Prends ce qui se laisse prendre À toujours forcer ton coeur Tu passes à côté du meilleur
Y'a pas de mal tu sais à se faire du bien La la la Y'a pas de mal et ça ne coûte rien Prends ton coeur et ta vie par la main La la la On est sur la terre Pour se laisser faire Y'a pas de mal à se faire du bien La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Quand j'aime, je le crie bien haut Et j'en profite autant qu'il faut Moi je vis tout simplement C'est bien la vie à vingt cinq ans
Y'a pas de mal tu sais à se faire du bien La la la Y'a pas de mal et ça ne coûte rien. Prends ton coeur et ta vie par la main La la la On est sur la terre Pour se laisser faire Y'a pas de mal à se faire du bien La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Pas de mal tu sais à se faire du bien La la la Y'a pas de mal et ça ne coûte rien Prends ton coeur et ta vie par la main La la la On est sur la terre Pour se laisser faire Y'a pas de mal à se faire du bien

Slow Down Sweet Mama Composer(s): Leon Chappel Performer(s): Leon Chappel
Slow down sweet mama Now, can't you see you're killin' me Lord, I'm tired of your two-timin' And the way you're doggin' me I'm sick and tired of talkin' Tryin' to get you to slow down
She come home this mornin' The sun was shinin' bright as day Out all night, sweet mama With your low down triflin' way I'm fed up and disgusted You can't be trusted, night or day
So, slow down sweet mama You're way ahead of me a mile Lord, I can't keep up sweet mama With your speedy streamline style I'm sick and tired of talkin' Tryin' to get that gal to slow down
Yes, yes, yes Why don't you slow down, honey Take your time, take your time
Go slow sweet mama Why don't you try to please behave She's sure mean mistreatin' Your Poppa's hair is turnin' gray Lord, I'm sick and tired of pleadin' Tryin' to get my gal to slow down
I've tried sweet mama To make you love me and do right But it just ain't in you, mama You're honky-tonkin' every night I'm sick and tired of talkin' Tryin' to get that gal to slow down
Now, so long sweet mama You know you done your Poppa wrong If you don't believe I'm leavin' Mama, count the days I'm gone 'Cause I'm sick and tired of pleading Tryin' to get that gal to slow down

Performer(s): Gene Autry
and multiple other artists
There's a goldmine in the sky far away
We will find it, you and I, some sweet day
There'll be clover just for you down the line
Where the skies are always blue, pal of mine
Take your time, old mule, I know you're growing lame
But you'll pasture in the stars when we strike that claim
And we'll sit up there and watch the world roll by (the world roll by)
When we find that long lost goldmine in the sky (in the sky)
Mmm-mmm-mmm (far away, far away), mmm-mmm-mmm (far away, far away)
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmmmmm
And we'll say hello to friends who said goodbye (who said goodbye)
When we find that long lost goldmine in the sky (far away in the sky)

(There's a bluebird)
There's a bluebird
(There's a rainbow)
There's a bluebird on your windowsill There's a rainbow in your sky There are happy thoughts, your heart to fill Near enough to make you cry
(There's a bluebird)
There he is
(There's a rainbow)
And with every tear you've washed away All the things you've kept inside You count your joys this lovely day And you wonder why you cried
There's a bluebird on your windowsill There's a rainbow in your sky There are happy thoughts, your heart to fill Near enough to make you cry
(There's a bluebird)
Look at him out there, ain't he pretty
(There's a rainbow)
And if perchance your heart grow sad You still can smile again And with every tear you've ever had Comes the sunshine after rain
[Orchestral Break]
There's a bluebird
(Yes, yes)
There's a rainbow
(Hear, hear)
[Orchestral Break]
The rainy days may come and go But the clouds soon roll away Everything will come that you wish it so As an answer when you pray
There's a bluebird on your windowsill There's a rainbow in your sky There're happy thoughts, your heart to fill Near enough to make you cry
