April Showers
Composer(s): Buddy DeSylva - Louis Silvers
First recording by: Al Jolson - 1921
Covered by multiple other artists



Life is not a highway strewn with flowers
Still it holds a goodly share of bliss
When the sun gives way to April showers
Here is the point you should never miss

Though April showers may come your way
They bring the flowers that bloom in May
So if it's raining, have no regrets
Because it isn't raining rain, you know
(It's raining violets)

And where you see clouds upon the hills
You soon will see crowds of daffodils
So keep on looking for a blue bird
And list'ning for his song
Whenever April showers come along

And where you see clouds upon the hills
You soon will see crowds of daffodils
So keep on looking for a blue bird
And list'ning for his song
Whenever April showers come along

I can feel you giving all your charms

Squeeze me baby with-a all your might

Oh, please, Diana

Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes

and multiple other artists



(a-wa a-wa) Odez enzuene zanamchinge

(a-wa a-wa) Si bona kwenze ka kanjani

(a-wa a-wa) Amanto mbazane ayeza

She's a rich girl
She don't try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

He's a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose

Sing Ta na na, ta na na na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Ta na na, ta na na na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

People say she's crazy
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Well that's one way to lose these walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She was physically forgotten
Then she slipped into my pocket
With my car keys
She said you've taken me for granted
Because I please you
Wearing these di-iamonds

And I could say oo
As if everybody knows
What I'm talking about
As if everybody here would know
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes

She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes and puts on after-shave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes
And she said honey take me dancing
But they ended up by sleeping
In a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on
Upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes

And I could say oo
And everybody here would know
What I was talking about
I mean everybody here would know 
exactly what I was talking about
Talking about di-iamonds

People say I'm crazy
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes
Well that's one way to lose these walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of your shoes

April Played The Fiddle
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James V. Monaco
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and multiple other artists



April played the fiddle and my heart began to dance
And I was so surprised to find my arms around romance
April played the fiddle and I memorized the tune
And later on, a dream and I went singing to the moon

Then May began to gossip and June just winked her eye
And you should have seen the Know-It-All expression on July...

April played the fiddle, ah, but here’s the funny part
I had to pay the fiddler with my one and only heart! 

Diamonds On My Windshield
Composer(s): Tom Waits
Performer(s): Tom Waits; Steve Glotzer



Well these diamonds on my windshield
And these tears from heaven
Well I'm pulling into town on the Interstate
I got a steel train in the rain
And the wind bites my cheek through the wing
And it's these late nights and this freeway flying
It always makes me sing

There's a Duster tryin' to change my tune
He's pulling up fast on the right
Rolling restlessly by a twenty-four hour moon

And a Wisconsin hiker with a cue-ball head
He's wishing he was home in a Wiscosin bed
But there's fifteen feet of snow in the East
Colder then a welldigger's ass
And it's colder than a welldigger's ass

Oceanside it ends the ride with San Clemente coming up
Those Sunday desperadoes slip by and cruise with a dry back
And the orange drive-in the neon billin'
And the theatre's fillin' to the brim
With slave girls and a hot spurn bucket full of sin

Metropolitan area with interchange and connections
Fly-by-nights from Riverside
And out of state plates running a little late

But the sailors jockey for the fast lane
So 101 don't miss it
There's rolling hills and concrete fields
And the broken line's on your mind

The eights go east and the fives go north
And the merging nexus back and forth
You see your sign, cross the line, signalling with a blink

And the radio's gone off the air
Gives you time to think
And you hear the rumble
As you fumble for a cigarette
And blazing through this midnight jungle
Remember someone that you met
And one more block; the engine talks
Whispers 'home at last'
It whispers 'home at last'
Whispers 'home at last'
It whispers 'home at last'
Whispers 'home at last'

And there are diamonds on my windshield
And these tears from heaven
Well I'm pulling into town on the Interstate
I got me a steel train in the rain
And the wind bites my cheek through the wing
Late nights and freeway flying
Always makes me sing
It always makes me sing

(Hey look here Jack, ok)

Like a runaway, a runaround

When you lift me up, when you put me down

She got to take sick and die one of these days
She got to take sick and die oh! one of these days
All the medicine I can buy, and all the doctors she can hire
She got to take sick and die one of these days

When she's dead I'm gonna bury her very deep
When she's dead I'm gonna bury her very deep
I'm gonna bury her very deep, rubies and diamonds round her feet
She got to take sick and die one of these days

If it was me and all the powers in my hands
If it was me and all the powers laying there child in my hands
She would have to go down to the promised land

April love is for the very young
Every star's a wishing star that shines for you
April love is all the seven wonders
One little kiss can tell you this is true

Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring showers
Rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet
But April love can slip right through your fingers
So if she's the one don't let her run away

Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring showers
Rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet
But April love can slip right through your fingers
So if she's the one don't let her run away 

Diamonds Are Forever

Covered by multiple other artists



Diamonds are forever
They are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night
I've no fear that they might desert me

Diamonds are forever
Hold one up and then caress it
Touch it, stroke it and undress it
I can see every part
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me

I don't need love
For what good will love do me?
Diamond never lie to me
For when love's gone they'll lustre on

Diamonds are forever
Sparking round my little finger
Unlike men, the diamonds linger
Men are mere mortals who are no
Worth going to your grave for
(Repeat)

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Forever and forever…

Middellandse Zee 
Composer(s): G. van Wageningen
Performer(s): Anita Berry



Middellandse zee, souvenir van een zomer
Enkel al het woord is als wijn op de tong
Middellandse zee, wie haar kent wordt een dromer
Die nog nooit voldoende haar charme bezong
Duizend keer (duizend keer)
Kan dit lied al gezongen zijn (ahahahahahah)
Maar ik leer (maar ik leer)
Van de wind soms een nieuw refrein (ahahahahahah)
En steeds weer (en steeds weer)
Geeft de zee mij het tempo aan (ahahahahahah)
In een ritme (in een ritme)
Dat blijft bekoren zolang er licht is van zon en maan

Overal in Europa's zuiden, van Gibraltar tot bij Capri
Componeren natuurgeluiden steeds opnieuw deze melodie
De natuur schrijft met vele handen
En de zee dient als blauwe inkt
Het papier zijn de witte stranden
Waar ik kon lezen hoe dit wijsje klinkt

Middellandse zee, souvenir van een zomer
Enkel al het woord is als wijn op de tong
Middellandse zee, wie haar kent wordt een dromer
Die nog nooit voldoende haar charme bezong
Duizend keer (duizend keer)
Kan dit lied al gezongen zijn (ahahahahahah)
Maar ik leer (maar ik leer)
Van de wind soms een nieuw refrein (ahahahahahah)
En steeds weer (en steeds weer)
Geeft de zee mij het tempo aan (ahahahahahah)

Dat blijft bekoren zolang er licht is van zon en maan

Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend
Composer(s): Jule Styne - Leo Robin
First performance/First release by: Carol Channing - 1949/1950
Covered by multiple other artists



The French were bred to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
We all lose our charm in the end
But square cut or pear shape
These rocks don't lose their shape
... Tiffany's... Cartier...
Talk to me, Harry, Winston, tell me all about it!
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend
Let's rock
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
There may come a time when a hardboiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice, but get that ice or else no dice
He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
It's then that those louses go back to their spouses
And diamonds are a girl's best friend
I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic
But diamonds are a girl's best friend,
And I think affairs that you must keep liaisonic
Are better bets if little pets get big baggettes
Time rolls on and youth is gone
And you can't straighten up when you bend
But stiff back or stiff knees
You stand straight at Tiffany's
Diamonds... Diamonds...
- I don't mean rhinestones -
but Diamonds, Are A Girl's Best Friends
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend
Let's rock again
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

April Lady
Composer(s): Brian May - Tim Staffell
Performer(s): Queen



She won our hearts 
The arts she loved
Is painting pictures for free
When she was done she hung them up
For all the children to see
Goodbye April lady
It's been good to have you around
Goodbye April lady
You've done a lot for the folks in this town
The children learned to read
She strung their beads
It's sorry she was the one
As you can see isn't she good
She don't leave nothing undone
Goodbye April lady
It's been good to have you around
Goodbye April lady
You've done a lot for the folks in this town
She taught them all to love
She was their cream
And we don't want her to go
But we know too well
She fell in love
And there's no stopping her so
Goodbye April lady
It's been good to have you around
Goodbye April lady
You've done a lot for the folks in this town
Goodbye April lady...

Diamonds & Rust
Composer(s): Joan Baez

Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall

As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Well you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Would keep you unharmed

Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there

Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid 

Dans Wat Dichter Bij Mij
Performer(s): De Heikrekels



Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij
Bij tango-muziek, en wat romantiek, dans ik met jou zo fijn
Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij
Zonder jou en muziek, en wat romantiek, kan ik niet zijn
Kijk mij eens aan met je mooie bruine ogen
Jij bent voor mij 't meisje waar ik van droom
Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij
Zonder jou en muziek, en wat romantiek, kan ik niet zijn

't Eerste wat ik zag, dat was jouw lieve lach
Ik voelde mij opeens zo vreemd bewogen
M'n hart ging sneller slaan
Toen ik je daar zag staan
Betoverd door je mooie bruine ogen
En bij 't schemerlicht, een schaduw in 't gezicht
Vond ik het meisje van m'n dromen
Ik vroeg jou om een dans
En ik paaide m'n kans
Toen ik jou aan je oor zachtjes zei

Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij
Bij tango-muziek, en wat romantiek, dans ik met jou zo fijn
Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij
Zonder jou en muziek, en wat romantiek, kan ik niet zijn
Kijk mij eens aan met je mooie bruine ogen
Jij bent voor mij 't meisje waar ik van droom
Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij
Zonder jou en muziek, en wat romantiek, kan ik niet zijn

Diamond Girl, you sure do shine
Glad I found you, glad you're mine
Oh my love, you're like a precious stone 
part of earth where heaven has rained on
Makes no difference where you are
Day or nighttime, you're like a shinin' star
And how could I shine without you, when it's about you that I am?

Diamond Girl, roamin' wild
Such a rare thing, radiant child
I could never find, another one like you
Part of me is deep down inside you
Can't you feel the whole world a-turnin'
We are real, and we are a-burnin'
Diamond Girl, now that I've found you, it's about you that I am

Diamond Girl, you sure do shine
Diamond Girl, you sure do shine
Diamond Girl, you sure do shine 
Diamond Girl, you sure do shine 

April In Portugal
Composer(s): Raul Ferrão - José Galhardo
Performer(s): Les Baxter



I found my April dream in Portugal with you
When we discovered romance, like we never knew
My head was in the clouds 
My heart went crazy too
And madly I said: "I love you"

Too soon I heard you say
"This dream is for a day"
That's Porugal and love in April!
And when the showers fell
Those tears I know so well
They told me it was spring fooling me

I found my April dream in Portugal with you
When we discovered romance, like I never knew
Then morning brought the rain
And now my dream is through
But still my heart says "I love you"

This sad reality, To know it couldn't be
That's Portugal and love in April!
The music and the wine convinced me you were mine
But it was just the spring fooling me

I found my April dream in Portugal with you
When we discovered romance, like I never knew
Then morning brought the rain
And now my dream is through
But still my heart says "I love you"

Diamants
Performer(s): Dalida



Il y a des hommes qui meurent d'amour
En vous promettant la lune
Il y a des hommes qui sont doux mais moi
Je les veux fous

Celui qui voudra m'offrir une rivière
Il pourra se pendre à mon coup
Il faudra qu'il est
D'élégant manière et beaucoup de sous
C'est tout ce qu'il faut pour me plaire
Un petit Diamant tout bleu
C'est bien plus jolie qu'un ciel bleu
Et je dirai oui au premier milliardaire
Qui voudra bien se ruiner

Vingt carats!
Bague au doigt!
Noir, bleu, blanc, rouge
Des fabuleux joyaux voilà ce qu'il me faut

A ceux qui me disent tu sais combien je t'aime
Moi je répond tout simplement
Offrez moi d'abord de l'Or et des Diadèmes
Et je vous croirais quand je les auraient essayés
Un jolie Saphir c'est mieux
Que le plus romantique des aveux

Je veux tout à moi les bijoux de la terre
Pour me laisser adorée

Celui qui sera m'aimer comme une reine
Il pourra se pendre à mon coup
Pour me faire la cour ce n'est pas un problème
Il lui suffit de me recouvrir de bijoux
Un petit Diamant tout bleu
C'est bien plus jolie qu'un ciel bleu
Une femme amoureuse ça vaut des Diamants
Diamants

Diamants, Diamants
Pour me séduire
Les Diamants
C'est ce qu'il me faut 

Is Er Een Ander?
Composer(s): John Terra - Jean Kluger - Yan Nick
First release by: John Terra - 1973



Weten ze thuis dat we samen zijn
Nooit mag ik jou daar komen halen
Iedere afspraak is geheim
Waarom liefste,wat verzwijg je mij

Is er een ander tussen jou en mij
Is er een ander,ben ik nu teveel
Ben je niet zeker van je hart
Je blijft niet meer de hele nacht
Is er een ander tussen jou en mij

Jij bent ineens niet dezelfde meer
Laat men je thuis niet met mij uitgaan
Jij weet hoeveel ik van je hou
Maar je twijfelt, daarom vraag ik jou

Is er een ander tussen jou en mij
Is er een ander ben ik nu teveel
Ben je niet zeker van je hart
Je blijft niet meer de hele nacht
Is er een ander tussen jou en mij

Is er een ander tussen jou en mij
Is er een ander ben ik nu teveel?
Ben je niet zeker van je hart
Je blijft niet meer de hele nacht
Is er een ander tussen jou en mij

Ben je niet zeker van je hart
Je blijft niet meer de hele nacht
Is er een ander tussen jou en mij

Diamond Field
Composer(s): Pat Benatar - Neil Giraldo - Myron Grombacher
Performer(s): Pat Benatar



From the top of the hill
You can see all the lights of the diamond field
The treasure buried in plain sight
Where one mans loss is another mans gain
And no one cares about anything, worth caring about

Shall we go to the diamond field tonight
Tightrope walkin’, in the web of light
Shall we go the diamond field and try
To seek the fortune in their eyes

One by one the lights go out
And the diamond field begins to fade

It turns back into cement and stone
Brick and asphalt, flesh and bone

Shall we go to the diamond field tonight
Tightrope walkin’, in the web of light
Shall we go the diamond field and try
To seek the fortune in their eyes

Shall we go to the diamond field tonight
Tightrope walkin’, in the web of light
Electric angles move against the night
Shining in the diamond field
