Sunlight Composer(s): Jesse Colin Young Performer(s): Jesse Colin Young
Have you seen the sunlight pouring through her hair And felt her warm mouth on ya in the summer's air Running in a field of brown, laughing, rolling on the ground now Smiling as she pulls you down That's the way she feels about you That's the way she feels about you
If your dreams should wake you shaking in the night She can touch your face and take away all fright Like a tree in a meadow wind she will bend to take you in Makes no difference where you been That's the way she feels about you That's the way she feels about you--yeah
If you wake up screaming, scared about what you're dreaming You know she is there, she can share You're aware she cares about you
In the morning wake up laughing with the day She will smile and ask you with her eyes to stay Like the sunshine warms the sand She will touch you with her hand now Touching makes you understand That's the way she feels about you That's the way she feels about you
La la la la la la La la la la la la
If you wake up screaming, scared about what you're dreaming You know she is there, she can share You're aware she cares about you
In the morning wake up laughing with the day She will smile and ask you with her eyes to stay Like the sunshine warms the sand She will touch you with her hand now Touching makes you understand Oh that's the way she feels about you That's the way she feels about you--yeah That's the way she feels about you That's the way she feels about you
Sunflower (Loss Of Love) Composer(s): Henry Mancini Performer(s): Manhattan Trinity
Love is storm and wind and tide all the tears your heart can hold But I look back after Loss of love and know the days were gold
I see on fly shattered skies not a ray of light to find But I look back after Loss of love and sunlight blinds my mind
Songs were sung with words as young as May But in the midst of summer, winter came A chill blew out the flame Now the words of haunted songs ring as clear as they did then
Still I look back after Loss of Love and live to love again live to love again
Zonder Jou
((English Version: Without You (by Julie Andrews))
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe - Seth Gaaikema
Performer(s): Margriet de Groot & Wim Sonneveld
Eliza : Ik ben dom geweest, ik was ezelachtig dom dat ik jou zag op de allerhoogste top Ik ben stom geweest, ik was allemachtig stom 'k Heb gehandeld als een kip zonder kop
Nee, met m'n hand op m'n hart: jij staat niet aan de finish en de start!
Het wordt maart en april zonder jou En de avond is stil zonder jou En het strand bij de zee en de cake bij de thee wat 'n heerlijk idee, zonder jou!
Charles Dickens leest men hier, zonder jou Ook trekt "Shake" zich geen "spier" aan van jou En het graan gaat er aan door een Spaanse orkaan Ja, zelfs dat blijft bestaan zonder jou Ik kan nou zonder jou! Jij kunt voor mijn part vertrekken 't Kan me niets verr ... ... in Holland heeft het hard gehageld En ze blussen een brand zonder jou en ze kussen m'n hand zonder jou Een vooraanstaande vrouw word ik heus net zo gauw zonder jou
Het wordt weer eb en het wordt ook weer vloed ! En zonder dat jij daar maar iets aan doet En ook de wolken drijven zelf voorbij als dat dan zonder jou kan, geldt dat ook voor mij Eindelijk rust om me heen, zonder jou Ik ben heerlijk alleen, zonder jou Dus verdwijn nu maar gauw want ik doe alles nou zonder jou
Higgins: Bij George, het is fantastisch fantastisch, fantastisch! Geef mij zes maanden, zei ik en ik schep ... een vrouw
Het klonk wel wat bombastisch haast te fantastisch! Het is zes maanden later en ik heb ... een vrouw!
Sunflower Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Glen Campbell
Sunflower, good morning You sure do make it like a sunny day Sunflower, fair warning I'm gonna love you if you come my way Now, if there's a chance that romance can find you It better not find you looking the other way Now, isn't it time you finally take it Make it so real it steals your breath away Hey hey hey
Sunflower, good morning You sure do make it like a sunny time Sun morning, good morning And someday, child, I'm gonna make you mine Now, if there's a chance that romance can find you It better not find you looking the other way Now, isn't it time you finally take it Make it so real it steals your breath away Hey hey hey
Sunflower, good morning You sure do make it like a sunny time Sunflower, sweet morning For every time I'm gonna make you mine
Zonder Liefde
((Adapted from: La Tendresse (by André Bourvil) - 1963))
Composer(s): Noël Roux - Hubert Giraud - Cees Nooteboom
Performer(s): Liesbeth List - 1966
Van zo weinig kun je leven, ach haast van de wind van de sneeuw of van de regen, ach wat je maar vind Maar een leven zonder liefde dat zou toch echt niet gaan Nee, nee, nee, nee, dat zou toch echt niet gaan
Op de wereld kun je leven en nauwelijks bestaan in geen enkel boek beschreven en zonder een maan Maar een leven zonder liefde dat zou toch echt niet gaan Nee, nee, nee, nee, dat zou toch echt niet gaan
Liefde is het zout der aarde; zonder liefde ben je niets heeft geen enkel woord meer waarde en betekent leven niets, nee niets (2x)
Je kunt je bed met iemand delen en van de lieve nacht alle wilde uren stelen, tot diep in de dag Maar zonder de grote liefde, zou het toch echt niet zijn. Nee, nee, nee, nee, zou het toch echt niet zijn
De seizoenen blijven komen en de aarde draait maar rond mensen zullen altijd dromen van de liefde die nog komt (4x) Vol geheimen is de wereld en altijd vol pijn iedereen betaalt zijn leergeld en kent het refrein Deze wereld zonder liefde, dat zou toch echt niet zijn Nee, nee, nee, nee, dat zou toch echt niet zijn
Sunfighter Composer(s): Paul Kantner Performer(s): Paul Kantner
You know we found a place on the land Where we can lay down and watch the ocean roll And we walk in the sand my lady and me And we watch and see the child grow
But the hand of man came runnin thru Runnin thru you and me Hurricane nighttime sympathy for you and for me
And there ain't no more room here, no more room here No more room on this planet to grow
The rambler man he comes and he goes in our land And gets you people on and we sing his song With a little bit of San Francisco added on Gonna get you people here all together, gonna roll Roll on you - try to move your minds together Gonna try to pull you thru
Sub carbon oscillation, sunshine blurring fascination Pulsar craft, moving fast, gonna take me past the hand of man to you
The sword of the lord don't mean nothin to me if he won't get down On the people makin' such a mess of the land and the sea all around me...
Got to learn to leave the planet be No more room here to fuck around like we did before Just maybe one more chance to leave it be
Sunfighter - gunfighter Mount the earth and learn to ride her Feel the land movin' under you
I can feel you all around me I can feel you huntin, bowstring weary Hear me clearly - I see you And I like it here I like it here
Sunfighter - gunfighter Mount the earth and learn to ride her Feel the land, nighttime hurricane - movin' under you
Zonder Vrienden Kan Ik Niet Performer(s): Boudewijn De Groot
Je kunt desnoods wel zonder geld Al is dat voor je maag niet fijn Nog erger als een vrouw je kwelt Want dan doet ook je hart nog pijn Ik weet het kan verschrikkelijk zijn
Liefst heb ik een vriend met wie ik alras Langdurig zeuren kan hoe 't was En ik heb troost in mijn verdriet M'n makker, schenk me nog een glas Want zonder vrienden kan ik niet
Raar is het leven toch, ik hou Al niet zo veel van alcohol Maar uitgerekend om een vrouw Sla ik naar binnen tot ik vol En snikkend van de bittere lol
Subiet in slaap val in een stoel Daar vindt een vriend mij, ruimt mijn boel Ik wankel, prevel vals een lied Omdat ik me toch gelukkig voel Want zonder vrienden kan ik niet
Bedrogen ben ik vaker wel Ook heb ik meer een vrouw bemind Uit ging het steeds, maar aan die hel Denkt toch geen mens als het begint Een man blijft toch altijd een kind
Wie droomt niet van het paradijs Ineens wordt niemand oud en wijs Je krijgt voor vreugde vaak verdriet Niet over rozen gaat de reis Maar zonder vrienden kan ik niet
Laat mij maar schuiven, want ik red Er toch nog altijd wel iets van Nu prince, verhoor dan dit gebed Neem alles als het niet anders kan Alleen mijn vrienden, laat die dan
Er blijft mij anders niets, o Heer Rampzaliger kan toch niet meer Terwijl u mij in tranen ziet Zweer ik desnoods 'ik drink niet meer' Maar zonder vrienden kan ik niet
Sundown Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress In a room where you do what you don't confess Sundown, you better take care If I find you bin creepin' round my back stairs Sundown, you better take care If I find you bin creepin' round my back stairs
She's bin lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream And she don't always say what she really means Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
I can picture ev'ry move that a man could make Gettin' lost in her lovin' is your first mistake Sundown, you better take care If I find you bin creepin' round my back stairs Sometimes I think it's a sin When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again
I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain Sundown, you better take care If I find you bin creepin' round my back stairs
Sundown you better take care If I find you bin creepin' round my back stairs Sometimes I think it's a sin When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again
Zoo Station Composer(s): Bono; Adam Clayton; The Edge; Larry Mullen Jr. Performer(s): U2
I'm ready I'm ready for the laughing gas I'm ready I'm ready for what's next I'm ready to duck I'm ready to dive I'm ready to say I'm glad to be alive I'm ready I'm ready for the push
The cool of the night The warmth of the breeze I'll be crawling 'round On my hands and knees
Just down the line ... Zoo Station Gotta make it on time ... Zoo Station
I'm ready I'm ready for the gridlock I'm ready...to take it to the street I'm ready for the shuffle Ready for the deal Ready to let go of the steering wheel I'm ready Ready for the crush
(She's just down the line) ... Zoo Station (Got to make it on time) ... Zoo Station
Time is a train Makes the future the past Leaves you standing in the station Your face pressed up against the glass
I'm just down the line from your love ... (Zoo Station) You know I'm under the sign ... (Zoo Station) I've gotta make it on time Make it on time ... (Zoo Station) That's alright ... (Zoo Station) Just two stops down the line ... (Zoo Station) Just a stop down the line ...
Sunday's Not My Day ((Adapted from: Je Hais Les Dimanches (by Juliette Gréco) - 1955)) ((Dutch Version: Wat Haat Ik De Zondag (by Conny Vandenbos) - 1968)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Florence Véran - Robert E. Morrison Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Though the days of the week wear the same empty face There's a day in the week I would like to replace It's the Sunday, so smuggly pretending to be Something more than a day that has nothing for me I've reasons to say, Sunday's not my day
Harrassed by its crowds, how they pass and defile An expressionless crowd with a time-wearied smile Though I walk through its streets, my direction's unknown Sunday's worthless to one who must spend it alone It's always this way, Sunday's not my day
You must work this day Sunday, the one day I'm free This is why Sunday seems so oppressive to me If only you were near, you would open my eyes I'd be ready to like all the things I despise
All the Sundays in Spring, light and blue there we were All our cares taking wing, as we breath, as we dare Lying there in the grass, watching children at play Watching lovers who pass, like the wind on its way The skies deep and blue, they would smile for you
We would dance through the streets, we would join this parade We would do all the things, for which Sunday is made Without trying to know what tomorrow will be Having only one hope that together we'd see Our Sunday again, Sunday back again
Of the people I see, in their Sunday disguise There are those who believe they are hopeful and wise Some are going to church, for appearances' sake Some are willing to give half as much as they make Some will sleep the whole day, having nowhere to go Some will visit a grave, some will put on a show, Well rehearsed in their part, they will pass review Some will make Sunday love, to have something to do
Yet, I envy their joy When their Sundays arrive, they frolic, they play I'm less than alive, what more can I say Sunday's not my day
Zoom Composer(s): Len Barry; Bobby Eli Performer(s): Fat Larrys Band; Murphy's Law
Zoom, just one look and then my heart went boom Suddenly, and we were on the moon Flying high in a neon sky oh
Bang, just one touch and all the church bells rang Heaven called and all the angels sang Sunrise shine in a midnight sky oh
Zoom, you chased the day away I knew The moon and stars came out to play and then My whole wide world went
Zoom, moonbeams dancing in the afternoon Shadows blowing as the roses bloom Looking down on a wonderland oh
Smack, just one kiss and I was outta whack All at once there was no turning back Oh so far above the brightest star oh
Zoom, you chased the day away I knew, the moon and stars came out to play
Zoom, you chased the day away I knew The moon and stars came out to play and then My whole wide world went zoom
I touched a rainbow as we went flyin by Faster and faster we were higher than high For once in my life time I was finally free And you gave that to me
Zoom, you chased the day away I knew, the moon and stars came out to play oh, oh Zoom, you chased the day away I knew The moon and stars came out to play oh, oh Zoom, you chased the day away I knew The moon and stars came out to play Spoken: zoom
Zoom Composer(s): Ronald LaPread; Lionel Richie Performer(s): The Commodores; Big Bub; Maysa; Lionel Richie
I may be just a foolish dreamer But I don't care 'Cause I know my happiness is waiting out there somewhere I'm searching for that silver lining Horizons that I've never seen Oh I'd like to take just a moment and dream my dream Dream my dream Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here Where my mind is fresh and clear And I'd find the love that I long to see Where everybody can be what they wanna be
I'd like the greet the sun each morning And walk amongst the stars at night I'd like to know the taste of honey in my life Well I've shared so many pains And I've played so many games But everyone finds the right way Somehow Somewhere Someday Zoom I'd like to fly far away from here Where my mind can be fresh and clear And I'll find the love that I long to see People can be what they wanna be
I wish the world were truly happy Living as one I wish the word they call freedom someday would come Someday would come Zoom I'd like to fly far away from here Where my mind can be fresh and clear And I'd find the love that I long to see Everybody can be what they wanna be Zoom I'd like to fly away Zoom I'd like to fly away Zoom I'd like to fly away You and me, baby Walking free Don't you wanna go? Don't you wanna go?

Composer(s): Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller - Bernard Michel
Performer(s): Henri Salvador - 1964
Dans mon fauteuil, je regardais
Le film à la télé
Un type nommé Jojo le Bouffi
Poursuivait la pauvre Suzy
Il la coinça près d'la scierie
Et très méchamment lui dit:
"Si tu m'donnes pas ton ranch, en moins d'deux
Je vais t'couper en deux"
Puis il l'empoigna
Et alors?
Ben, il la ficela
Et alors?
Il la mit sous la scie
Et alors? Et alors?
Eh, eh, Zorro est arrivé
Sans s'presser
Le grand Zorro, le beau Zorro
Avec son ch'val et son grand chapeau
Mais bientôt j'ai pris la deuxième chaîne
Car un vieux schnock parlait
Charmante soirée, sur la deuxième chaîne
Ils passaient le même navet
Près d'une cabane Jo le Bouffi
Coinçait la pauvre Suzy
Et il lui disait
"Donne-moi ton ranch, eh, poupée!
Ou j'te transforme en purée"
Puis il l'empoigna
Et alors?
Ben, il la ficela
Et alors?
Il mit le feu à la dynamite
Et alors? Et alors?
Eh, eh, Zorro est arrivé
Sans s'presser
Le grand Zorro, le beau Zorro
Avec son ch'val et son grand chapeau
Mais moi j'en avais tellement marre
J'ai repris la première chaîne
Et devant mes yeux, mes yeux hagards
Se déroulait la même scène
Et Jojo, Jojo le Bouffi
Dans un sac fourrait Suzy
Disant
"Donne-moi ton ranch, eh, boudin!
Ou j'vais t'balancer sous l'train"
Puis il l'empoigna
Et alors?
Ben il la ficela
Et alors?
Sur les rails il la fit rouler
Et alors?
Ben le train arrivait, les copains!
Et alors? Et alors?
Eh, eh, Zorro est arrivé
Sans s'presser
Le grand Zorro, le beau Zorro
Avec son ch'val et son grand chapeau
Avec son flingue et son grand lasso
Avec ses bottes et son vieux banjo
Ah! Ah! Sacré Zorro, va!
Ah ah ah ah!
Sunday Morning Coming Down Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson First release by: Ray Stevens - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages: 1971 - Søndag Morgen (by John Mogensen) 1979 - Zondagmiddag Lilian (by Louis Neefs) 1975 - Nedelní Ráno (by Pavel Bobek)
Well, I woke up Sunday morning With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad So I had one more for dessert Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes And found my cleanest dirty shirt Then I washed my face and combed my hair And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
I'd smoked my mind the night before With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking But I lit my first and watched a small kid Playing with a can that he was kicking Then I walked across the street And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken And Lord, it took me back to something that I'd lost Somewhere, somehow along the way
On a Sunday morning sidewalk I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone And there's nothing short a' dying That's half as lonesome as the sound Of the sleeping city sidewalk And Sunday morning coming down
In the park I saw a daddy With a laughing little girl that he was swinging And I stopped beside a Sunday school And listened to the songs they were singing Then I headed down the street And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing And it echoed through the canyon Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday
On a Sunday morning sidewalk I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone And there's nothing short a' dying That's half as lonesome as the sound Of the sleeping city sidewalk And Sunday morning coming down
