Etsin kunnes löydän sun En lopettaa voi kuitenkaan Miten rauhaton oon yhä vain Jotain multa puuttunee
Jotain mikä rauhoittaa Mun sydämeni lyönnit vois Kuten aamuisin päivä ja yö Suutelevat toisiaan Me jossain kohdataan
Etsin kunnes löydän sun Ja tiedän toiveen täyttyvän Ilman sua mitään mieltä ei ois Kuljeskella yksinään
Yksin vielä huomiseen Mä jaksan sillä löydän sun Sinä myös ehkä etsien käyt Kunnes tulee hetki tuo Se kutsuu meitä luo
Etsin kunnes löydän sun En lopettaa voi kuitenkaan Miten rauhaton oon yhä vain Jotain multa puuttunee
Jotain mikä rauhoittaa Mun sydämeni lyönnit vois Kuten aamuisin päivä ja yö Suutelevat toisiaan Me jossain kohdataan
mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mmm mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mmm
Etsin kunnes löydän sun Sä merkityksen mulle luot Olet syy miksi luovuta en Vaikka joskus tuntuu niin
Sinuun tahdon uskoa Ja etsin kunnes löydän sun Kuten aamuisin päivä ja yö Suutelevat toisiaan

Love is a gamble when your life is spent on the road One night stands with the boys in the band really gets old If I had my rathers I'd be with my lady at home 'Cause the lady with the flower in her hair turns my world on
Lady with the flower in her hair turns my world on She knows the secret that keeps me coming back home Life has a meaning, I found it when she came along 'Cause the lady with the flower in her hair turns my world on
The places I've travelled can be traced by the lines on my face But I've yet to find something else to take its place When misery lays heavy, I think of my lady at home 'Cause the lady with the flower in her hair turns my world on
Lady with the flower in her hair turns my world on She knows the secret that keeps me coming back home Life has a meaning, I found it when she came along 'Cause the lady with the flower in her hair turns my world on
The lady with the flower in her hair turns my world on

If I Didn't Care Composer(s): Jack Lawrence First release by: The Ink Spots - 1939 Covered by multiple other artists
If I didn't care more than words can say If I didn't care would I feel this way? If this isn't love then why do I thrill? And what makes my head go 'round and 'round While my heart stands still?
If I didn't care would it be the same? Would my ev'ry prayer begin and end with just your name? And would I be sure that this is love beyond compare? Would all this be true if I didn't care for you?
If I didn't care honey child, mo' than words can say If I didn't care baby, would I feel this way? Darlin' if this isnt love, then why do I thrill so much? What is it that makes my head go 'round and 'round while my heart just stands still so much?

Keep 'Em Flying Composer(s): Bill Coleman Performer(s): Johnny Desmond; Roy Eldridge
Keep 'em flying, keep 'em in the sky Keep 'em flying, hitting hard and high On every lip, the fervent cry Keep 'em flying Uncle Sam
Keep 'em flying, every headline screams Keep 'em flying, army fighting teams On thirty thousand different beams Keep 'em flying Uncle Sam
(Orchestral Interlude)
(Spoken) So mount to the cabin Give it the gun. Home with the Air Corps To the sun
(Sung) Keep 'em flying clear the hangar floor Keep 'em flying, spread your wings once more From pole to pole, from shore to shore Let thirty thousand motors roar And thirty thousand eaglets soar Keep 'em flying Uncle Sam
Nog Even ((Adapted from: Et Moi Je Chante (Gérard Lenorman) - 1975)) Composer(s): Didier Barbelivien - Gérard Lenorman - Herman Pieter de Boer Performer(s): Conny Vandenbos - 1976
Vanmorgen zat een kleine blauwe vogel voor 't raam En wat 'ie twinkeleerde leek een beetje op je naam Ik kreeg ineens een vreemd en overweldigend gevoel Want alles om je heen gebeurt toch altijd met een doel En later op de morgen kwam die onverwachte brief En door m'n tranen las ik woorden als: 'Ik heb je lief' En toen ik opkeek vloog die blauwe vogel weer voorbij Een teken van geluk, 't kwam weer goed met jou en mij
Je schreef: "Ik kom terug, ik kan niet langer zonder jou" Ik weet nu dat ik ondanks alles toch nog van je hou 't Leek een ogenblik nog op een droom en irreeel Maar toen ik 't geloofde, wat ik las, werd 't mij alles te veel
Maar nu: Nog even, nog even, nog even Ik loop te zingen en te zweven Je hebt me alles weer vergeven Je komt terug Nog even, nog even, nog even Dan kan ik al m'n liefde geven Ik kan weer lachen en weer leven Je komt terug
Je foto had ik weggestopt, ik zag 'm liever niet Want iedere herinnering, die deed me zo'n verdriet Nu haal ik 'm tevoorschijn en ik druk 'm aan m'n hart Ik voel me zo gelukkig, zo verlegen en verward Wat zal ik moeten zeggen op dat wonderlijk moment Dat jij je koffer neerzet en er werkelijk weer bent Ik denk dat ik zal zwijgen met je armen om me heen Ik zal wel moeten huilen want ik was zolang alleen
Maar nu: Nog even, nog even, nog even Ik loop te zingen en te zweven Je hebt me alles weer vergeven Je komt terug Nog even, nog even, nog even Dan kan ik al m'n liefde geven Ik kan weer lachen en weer leven Je komt terug
Nog even, nog even, nog even Je hebt me alles weer vergeven Nog even, nog even, nog even Dan kan ik al m'n liefde geven Ik kan weer lachen en weer leven Je komt terug
Yellow Roses Composer(s): Ken Devine; Sam Nichols First release by: Hank Snow - 1955 Covered by multiple other artists
I just received, sweetheart, your yellow roses You tell me, dear, they mean that we're all through You tell me that tonight your heart is broken But you should know, I was never untrue
I'll place them near your photograph And as the petals fall They'll hide from you my lonely tears That shouldn't fall at all
Then they will slowly fade away and die But I'll still love you Though yellow roses say "Goodbye"

Don't build me up just to let me drop Don't stop it now Don't turn me on just to turn me off Don't stop it now. (repeat chorus)
Don't tell me there ain't no more Don't stop it now Don't turn me down and just close your door Don't stop it now ooh Keep it comin' love Oh yeah. (repeat chorus)
Keep it comin' love Keep it comin' love Keep it comin' love Keep it comin' love

If I Could Turn Back Time Composer(s): Diane Warren Performer(s): Cher
If I could turn back time If I could find a way I'd take back those words that hurt you and you'd stay
I don't know why I did the things I did I don't know why I said the things I said Pride's like a knife it can cut deep inside Words are like weapons they wound sometimes
I didn't really mean to hurt you I didn't wanna see you go I know I made you cry, but baby
If I could turn back time If I could find a way I'd take back those words that hurt you And you'd stay If I could reach the stars I'd give them all to you Then you'd love me, love me Like you used to do
If I could turn back time
My world was shattered I was torn apart Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart You walked out that door I swore that I didn't care But I lost everything darling then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry Too proud to tell you I was wrong I know that I was blind, and ooh...
If I could turn back time If I could find a way I'd take back those words that hurt you And you'd stay If I could reach the stars I'd give them all to you Then you'd love me, love me Like you used to do

If I could turn back time (turn back time) If I could find a way (find a way) Then baby, maybe, maybe
You'd stay Reach the stars If I could reach the stars

If I Could Teach My Chihuahua To Sing Composer(s): Joe Ely; Kimmie Rhodes; Gabe Rhodes Performer(s): Joe Ely
O weary me I'm broke as a man can be My bills are all due, I got holes in my shoe Bill collectors, they won't let me sleep
If I could teach my chihuahua to sing I could make cash registers ring What a sight to behold her, she could sit on my shoulder And whimper in harmony
If I could teach my chihuahua to sing What a wonderful world it would be I could take her to the border and teach her how to order Margaritas and fajitas Senoritas would bring
The circus is coming to town The telephone lines are down While the tight rope they're stretchin', my puppy is fetchin' The tin cans all scattered around
If I could teach my chihuahua to sing The whole world would live in peace Instead of them fightin', everyone would be writin' Love letters to Senators and Police
If I could teach my chihuahua to sing What a brave new world it would be I could take her to China, on a big jet airliner And bark in the park 'till the freedom bells ring
If I could teach my chihuahua to sing There'd be no more sorrow and grief I could take her to the border and teach her how to order Guacamole and posole, and feel holy and free!

So, if you wanna know the way to keep your man Keep it under your hat Keep it under your hat!
If you wanna know the way to keep your man Keep it under your hat Keep it under your hat!
I Know Now Composer(s): Al Dubin - Harry Warren Performer(s): Guy Lombardo
I know now, you're the only one I know now, I'm the lonely one I had to learn how a heart can yearn How tears can burn, with on one to turn to I know now, that I can't forget I can't for I don't know how I guess I never knew how I needed you But sweetheart, I know now
If I Could Talk To The Animals From "Dr. Dolittle" Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
If we could talk to the animals, just imagine it Chatting to a chimp in chimpanzee Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting to a cheetah What a neat achievement that would be
If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages Maybe take an animal degree We'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle Alligator, guinea pig, and flea
We would converse in polar bear and python And we could curse in fluent kangaroo If people asked us, can you speak in rhinoceros We'd say, "Of courserous, can't you?"
If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages Think of all the things we could discuss If we could walk with the animals, talk with the animals Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals And they could squeak and squawk and speak and talk to us
