Kersebloesem Van Yokohama Performer(s): Mary Servaes (aka Zangeres Zonder Naam)
In n theehuis bij de Foetsiejama zong n geischa zacht haar n droevig lied Over liefde in t verre Yokohama waar n zeeman haar voorgoed verliet Hij was gekomen over blauwe oceanen zij betoverend door zn mooie blonde haren Ze vonden liefde in de roze kersenlanen op zachte bloesem beminde zei elkaar
Refrein Kersebloesem in Yokohama, kersebloesem geurend in de nacht Heeft n kleine zwarte Geischa veel geluk maar ook verdriet gebracht Kersebloesem in Yokohama bittere tranen kleine Geischa
De andere avond was hij weer gekomen en haar hartje stond in vuur en vlam Ze gingen snel weer naar de kersenbomen waar hij zacht haar in zn armen nam Maar als de anderen morgen vroeg de klanken klinken ziet mn haar wenend aan de stille kade staan t Is of de wereld voor haar voeten weg zal zinken nu zij door tranen zijn schip weer weg ziet gaan
Refrein Kersebloesem in Yokohama, bracht tranen kleine Geischa
I remember you, turning on the faucets I let the water run I didn't want to let them hear me when I'm cryin' Or let them see what she had done
Oh-ooh... (Let the water run down) Let the water run, let it pour (??? ??? like a river) (Let the tears fall down) Let it pour (Dum-dee-dum-dum, dee-dum-dum)
So I locked the door and looked in the mirror I don't like what I see A fool, what a fool lookin' out of the mirror Cryin' all those tears at me
Oh-ooh... (Let the water run down) Let the water run, let it pour (??? ??? like a river) (Let the tears fall down) Oh-ooh, let it pour (Dum-dee-dum-dum, dee-dum-dum)
I hear them waiting by the door At their pounding on the floor They're yellin', "Are you comin' out" Ooh, I wish they wouldn't doubt All I need is one minute more Then I'll open up the door And this is what I'll say "I'm alright.....uum-uum, it's alright" "I'm alright, I'm alright"
I'm not about to hear ya... (Let the water run down) Oh, let it pour (????? ???? like a river) Let the tears fall down the hole (???? ???? ???? ???? ????)
So I reach for the towel, I wipe my eyes I go out and join the crowd You know I danced with a girl She was a wrong, wrong girl And my heart is cryin' out loud
Oh-ooh... (Let the water run down) Let it roll, let it pour (????? ???? like a river) Let the tears fall down the hole C'mon now... (Let the water run down) Let it roll, let it pour (??? ??? like a river) Let the tears run down the hole I wanna hear ya (Let the water run down)
I'd Wait A Million Years Composer(s): Gary Zekley; Mitchell Bottler Performer(s): The Grass Roots; Material Issue
All of the lonely nights Waiting for you to come, longing to hold you tight I need you so desperately Waiting for you to come bringing your love to me [but]
I'd wait a million years Walk a million miles, cry a million tears I'd swim the deepest sea Climb the highest hill, just to have you near me
As love is reality When you are near to me, I am in ecstacy I'd swallow the pain and pride Baby, I just can't hide all that I feel inside [and]
I'd wait a million years Walk a million miles, cry a million tears I'd swim the deepest sea Climb the highest hill, just to have you near me
A million years, I would wait for you A million tears, baby I'd be true A million miles, I would follow you A million years, if you want me to
Pacing the floor, detest Sweat pouring down my chest, still I can't love you less It's worth all the pain and pride Baby, I just can't hide all that I feel inside [and]
I'd wait a million years Walk a million miles, cry a million tears I'd swim the deepest sea Climb the highest hill, just to have you near me
Kevin Barry Traditional Celtic Song Performer(s): The Clancy Brothers; and various other artists
In Mountjoy jail one Monday morning High upon the gallows tree Kevin Barry gave his young life For the cause of liberty But a lad of eighteen summers Yet no one can deny As he walked to death that morning He proudly held his head on high
Just before he faced the hangman In his dreary prison cell British soldiers tortured Barry Just because he would not tell The names of his brave companions And other things they wished to know "Turn informer or we'll kill you" Kevin Barry answered, "no" Calmly standing to attention While he bade his last farewell To his broken hearted mother Whose grief no one can tell For the cause he proudly cherished This sad parting had to be Then to death walked softly smiling That old Ireland might be free
Another martyr for old Ireland Another murder for the crown Whose brutal laws may kill the Irish But can't keep their spirit down Lads like Barry are no cowards From the foe they will not fly Lads like Barry will free Ireland For her sake they'll live and die
Go On Laugh, Little Girl ((French Version: Tu t'Amuses (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz - B. Kaye
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1969
Go on laugh, little girl
I said a funny thing
Go on laugh, little girl
If it amuses you, then the thing to do is laugh
Enjoy the joke on me
I only said I loved you
And you driving me mad
You think it's all so funny
That's what makes it so sad
It's alright, little girl
Don't let it bother you
Treat it light, little girl
There really isn't anything important at stake
Just my heart that will break
Hearts were meant to be broken
They are so frequently
Why make mine the exception
Go on, break it for me
Go on laugh, little girl
I said a funny thing
Bend in half little girl
Until your eyes are wet
From the laugh you get from me
Enjoy the one-man show
I made myself look foolish
I had no other choice
My heart was filled with love words
I couldn't stop its voice
Have a ball, little girl
Ignore the things I say
I'd Still Be There Composer(s): Johnny Cash; Johnny Horton Performer(s): Johnny Cash
I overlooked a lot of things I knew I should have done I did things that I'm sorry for, I lived to have my fun But now the world that once was bright is empty and bare And if you wouldn't be ashamed of me, I'd still be there
I'd be with you, where I belong And nothing they could do or say could make me think it's wrong If all the love that made you mine could make you still care I'd be by your side, I'd still be there
I'd give the world if I could only have you close to me I'd pray the Lord to keep you safe wherever you may be Don't let anybody share the things we used to share If I only knew you loved me too, I'd still be there
I'd be with you, where I belong And nothing they could do or say could make me think it's wrong If all the love that made you mine could make you still care I'd be by your side, I'd still be there
Key Largo Composer(s): Bertie Higgins; Sonny Limbo Performer(s): Bertie Higgins
Wrapped around each other Lying in each other's arms That first cold winter together Trying so hard to stay warm Watching those old movies Falling in love so desperately Honey I was your hero And you were my leading lady
(chorus) We had it all Just like Bogie and Bacall Starring in our old late, late show Sailing away to Key Largo
Honey can't you remember We played all the parts That sweet scene of surrender When you gave me your heart Please say you will...play it again Cause I love you still Baby this can't be the end
Chorus
Here's lookin at you kid Missing all the things we did We can find it once again, I know Just like they did in Key Largo
Boy Meets Girl Performer(s): Don Lang & His Frantic Five
Something happens whenever that music's played Number one on everyone's hit parade Ev'ry invitation to the dance Could be the beginning of romance Life is a crazy whirl, a-boy meets girl
Make that music frantic or make it sweet No one can resist such an easy beat Oh, the moment that they turn the lights down low You can feel the grooves begin to go Life is a crazy whirl, a-boy meets girl
The music stops, it's time to break away But there's a chance that she might want to stay
So, play that record on any old juke machine Ev'ry guy's a king, ev'ry gal's a queen When you find the one that you adore You can hoild her close for evermore Life is a crazy whirl, a-boy meets girl
Oh, the music stops, it's time to break away But there's a chance that she might want to stay
So, play that record on any old juke machine Ev'ry guy's a king, ev'ry gal's a queen Oh, when you find the one that you adore You can hold her close for evermore Life is a crazy whirl, a-boy meets girl Boy meets girl Boy meets girl
I'd Really Love To See You Tonight Composer(s): Parker McGee First release by: England Dan & John Ford Coley - 1976 Covered by multiple other artists
Hello, yeah, it's been a while Not much, how 'bout you? I'm not sure why I called I guess I really just wanted to talk to you And I was thinking maybe later on We could get together for a while It's been such a long time And I really do miss your smile
I'm not talking 'bout moving in And I don't want to change your life But there's a warm wind blowing The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight
We could go walking through a windy park Or take a drive along the beach Or stay at home and watch t.v. You see, it really doesn't matter much to me
I'm not talking 'bout moving in And I don't want to change your life But there's a warm wind blowing The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight
I won't ask for promises So you won't have to lie We've both played that game before Say I love you, then say goodbye
I'm not talking 'bout moving in And I don't want to change your life But there's a warm wind blowing The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight
Key To Love Composer(s): John Mayall Performer(s): John Mayall & Eric Clapton; Debbie Davies; Gary Moore
I never realized that you were in pain I wanna help you honey, let me see you again Hurts my soul, babe, when I find you feeling rough Life is so bad, baby, when I find the key to love
Put a smile on your face and dry away your tears Life is bound to get better as you live your years Hurts my soul, babe, when I find you feeling rough Life is so bad, baby, when I find the key to love
Somewhere in this world, the one you waited for Come along and find you, turn the key your door Hurts my soul, babe, when I find you feeling rough Life is so bad, baby, when you find the key to love
(Angel d'amore, angel d'amore)
Angel d'amore, answer my plea
Angel d'amore, send him to me
Make him see
That the love I bear in my heart for him
Is a love I'll share ever more with him
Angel d'amore
Please won't you answer my prayer?
Angel d'amore, answer my plea
Angel d'amore, send him to me
Make him see
That I'd steal a star from the sky for him
He could break my heart and I'd die for him
Angel d'amore, answer my plea
Send my love back to me
Oh, please won't you answer my prayer?
I'd Rather Ride Around With You Composer(s): Mark D. Sanders; Tim Nichols Performer(s): Reba McEntire
My cousin's gettin' married at the Methodist church That's why I stayed home from work I'm supposed to hold the flowers When the new bride kisses the groom That's what I'm supposed to do So what are we doin' with the windows rolled down Twenty five passionate miles from town I love her like a sister baby but to tell you the truth I'd rather ride around with you
The guy she's gonna marry's got money to burn His daddy's a partner in some big law firm Yeah that's how they're goin' To Hawaii on their honeymoon First class to Honolulu She's never even set foot on a jet I'm a little bit jealous I confess I'd like to fly to Hawaii But honey if I had to choose Oh I'd rather ride around with you
I don't care where this road goes No I don't wanna turn around Let go of the wheel feel the wind blow Don't even think about slowin' down
They're tyin' tin cans to the back of the car Wonderin' where in the world we are The preacher's done prayin' And the couple's done sayin' I do That could be me and you There's way too many decisions to make The length of the dress The layers on the cake Oh, one of these days I might get married too But I'd rather ride around with you
I don't care where this road goes No I don't wanna turn around Let go of the wheel feel the wind blow Don't even think about slowin' down
'Cause I'd rather ride around with you Oh I'd rather ride around with you
Adiós Mi Corazón Composer(s): Otha Young Performer(s): Juice Newton
Lost in this small hotel somewhere south of the border Trying to sleep through the heat of a Mexican night Somehow the words I once had so easily mastered Left me like you did, with nothing to say
¿Puedes oirme tú, amor? Adiós, mi corazón, how I love you ¿Puedes oirme tú, amor? Adiós, mi corazón I hope the words are right They're the only words I know tonight
????? the paradise, but the beauty escapes me Everything should be so right for falling in love Two hearts belong, but one heart remains so unhappy Nothing else matters to me, no, nothing at all
Ooooooohhhhh, ¿puedes oirme tú, amor? Adiós, mi corazón, how I love you ¿Puedes oirme tú, amor? Adiós, mi corazón Hope the words are right They're the only words I know tonight
Oh, the nights are never ending You know why, no comprende Days are longer than you'll ever know Adiós, mi corazón
Ooooooohhhhh, ¿puedes oirme tú, amor? Adiós, mi corazón, how I love you ¿Puedes oirme tú, amor? Adiós, mi corazón Hope the words are right They're the only words I know tonight
Ooooooohhhhh, ¿puedes oirme tú, amor? Adiós, mi corazón, how I love you
I'd Rather Leave While I'm In Love Composer(s): Peter Allen; Carole Bayer Sager First release by: Carole Bayer Sager - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists
I'd rather leave while I'm in love while I still believe the meaning of the word I'll keep my dreams and just pretend that you and I are never gonna end
Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine somebody's heart gets broken usually it's mine I don't want to take the chance of being hurt again and you and I can't say good-bye
So if you wake and find me gone oh baby carry on you see I need my fantasy I still believe it's best to leave while I'm in love
Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine somebody's heart gets broken usually It's mine I don't want to take the chance of being hurt again and you and I can't say good-bye
So if you wake and find me gone oh baby carry on you see I need my fantasy I still believe it's best to leave while I'm in love I still believe It's best to leave while I'm in love
Key's In The Mailbox
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Buck Owens
and multiple other artists
For jealous me and careless you the odds were just too great
I couldn't take those lonely nights you made me sit and wait
I thought I'd seen the last of you when you walked out of sight
Instead I see you in my dreams each night
Oh, the key's in the mailbox, come on in
I'm sittin' here wishin', dear, I had your love again
I'd never even ask you where you've been
The key's in the mailbox, come on in
I said I'd rather be alone than share your company
I said don't come around at all if you want more than me
But sittin' here alone I can't deny this flame that burns
I'd gladly take you back on any terms
Oh, the key's in the mailbox, come on in
I'm sittin' here wishin', dear, I had your love again
I'd never even ask you where you've been
The key's in the mailbox, come on in
I'd Rather Lead A Band Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Fred Astaire and multiple other artists
I haven't ambitions for lofty positions That wind up with the wealth of the land I'll give you the throne that a king sat on For just a small baton Providing you included a band
If I could be the wealthy owner of a large industry I would say, "Not for me" I'd rather lead a band
If I could be a politician with a chance to dictate I would say, "Let it wait" I'd rather lead a band
My ev'ry care ceases I'm rich as old Croesus When I've got ten pieces In hand
If I could have a millionairess with a whole flock of banks I would just whisper "Thanks" I'd rather lead a band
Give me a band, yes sir And not a thing lesser To be that professor Is grand
If Josephine had left Napoleon and climbed in my lap I'd say, "Go back to Nap" I'd rather lead a band
A saxophone, a slide trombone A bass fiddle and a drum A guy at the piano who makes it hum A violin, a clarinet A hot trumpet and guitar And me with the baton and there you are
