As Much Composer(s): Mel Tillis Performer(s): Don Gibson

As much as the flowers need sunshine As much as the sky needs the blue As much as much as my love is true Well that's how much I need you
I need you I need you to guide me this much I know it's true You alone are my inspiration in everything I do As much as the stars need the heaven... Well that's how much I need you

Olha as minhas meninas As minhas meninas Pra onde é que elas vão Se já saem sozinhas As notas da minha canção Vão as minhas meninas Levando destinos Tão iluminados de sim Passam por mim E embaraçam as linhas Da minha mão
As meninas são minhas Só minhas na minha ilusão Na canção cristalina Da mina da imaginação Pode o tempo Marcar seus caminhos Nas faces Com as linhas Das noites de não E a solidão Maltratar as meninas As minhas não
As meninas são minhas Só minhas As minhas meninas Do meu coração

Do The Best You Can
Composer(s): Allan Clarke - Tony Hicks - Graham Nash
Performer(s): The Hollies
When you come across
The guy who thinks he's boss
Yet never knows the reason why
He won't let you pass
Won't answer things you ask
He's got his orders do or die
Someone said to me
If you tip the doorman heavily
His doors will open wide for you
Goes to show what money can do
Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
You just do the best you can
Do the best you can
Please be kind to those
Who fail to comprehend
And in time who knows
You'll maybe make a friend
If you leave your car
And you're not going far
Remember what time to be back
If it slips your mind
I'm sure in time you'll find
A Rita waiting in a mac
Someone said to me
If you tip the doorman heavily
His doors will open wide for you
Goes to show what money can do
Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
You just do the best you can
Do the best you can
Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
You just do the best you can
Do the best you can
Do the best you can

As Long As The Grass Shall Grow Composer(s): Peter LaFarge Performer(s): Johnny Cash
As long as the moon shall rise As long as the rivers flow As long as the sun will shine As long as the grass shall grow
The Senecas are an Indian tribe of the Iroquios nation Down on the New York Pennsylvania Line you'll find their reservation After the US revolution, Cornplanter was a chief He told the tribe these men they could trust, that was his true belief He went down to Independence Hall and there a treaty signed That promised peace with the USA and Indian rights combined George Washington gave his signature, the Government gave its hand They said that now and forever more that this was Indian land
As long as the moon shall rise As long as the rivers flow As long as the sun will shine As long as the grass shall grow
On the Seneca reservation there is much sadness now Washington's treaty has been broken and there is no hope, no how Across the Allegheny River they're throwing up a dam It will flood the Indian country, a proud day for Uncle Sam It has broke the ancient treaty with a politician's grin It will drown the Indian graveyards, Cornplanter can you swim The earth is mother to the the Senecas, they're trampling sacred ground Change the mint green earth to black mud flats as honour hobbles down
As long as the moon shall rise As long as the rivers flow As long as the sun will shine As long as the grass shall grow
The Iroquios Indians used to rule from Canada way south But no one fears the Indians now and smiles the liar's mouth The Senecas hired an expert to figure another site But the great good army engineers said that he had no right Although he showed them another plan and showed them another way They laughed in his face and said no deal, Kinzua dam is here to stay Congress turned the Indians down, brushed off the Indians plea So the Senecas have renamed the dam, they call it Lake Perfidy
As long as the moon shall rise As long as the rivers flow As long as the sun will shine As long as the grass shall grow
Washington, Adams and Kennedy now hear their pledges ring The treaties are safe, we'll keep our word, but what is that gurgling It's the back water from Perfidy Lake it's rising all the time Over the homes and over the fields and over the promises fine No boats will sail on Lake Perfidy, in winter it will fill In summer it will be a swamp and all the fish will kill But the Government of the USA has corrected George's vow The Father of our Country must be wrong, what's an Indian anyhow
As long as the moon shall rise, look up As long as the rivers flow, are you thirsty As long as the sun will shine, my brother are you warm As long as the grass shall grow
... De vrouw des huizes heeft het rijk alleen, zegt mijn man Hoeft niet te werken heeft nooit een probleem, zegt mijn man Waarom de vrouw van deze tijd zo klagen kan Da's onbegrijpelijk, zegt mijn man
Dat beetje koken is toch geen bezwaar, zegt mijn man En ook die afwas speel je makkelijk klaar, zegt mijn man Waarom de huisvrouw van vandaag zo zeuren kan Is hem een raadsel, zegt mijn man
En wat mijn man zegt is altijd waar Ik kan het weten want wij zijn een paar
Dat beetje wasgoed gaat in de machine, zegt mijn man Dat beetje strijken is te overzien, zegt mijn man Waarom de vrouw van nu dat niet begrijpen kan Is onverklaarbaar, zegt mijn man
En wat mijn man zegt is altijd waar Ik kan het weten want wij zijn een paar
De grote schoonmaak is zo goed voor't hart, zegt mijn man En dat tuinieren is toch zo apart, zegt mijn man Dat de moderne vrouw dat niet bevatten kan Dat is een schande, zegt mijn man
Hij moet gaan werken elke dag van huis, zegt mijn man Zijn lieve vrouwtje blijft dan lekker thuis, zegt mijn man Dat ik de Heer op blote voeten danken kan Voor zo'n goed leven, zegt mijn man Dat ik de Heer op blote voeten danken kan Voor zo'n goed leven, zegt mijn man Dat ik de Heer op blote voeten danken kan Voor zo'n goed leven, zegt mijn man
Die Welt Von Heut'

Composer(s): Neil Diamond - Günter Loose
Performer(s): Pascal Legrand - 1971
Neonlicht Stadt im Lichterschein und die Menschen wandern kreuz und quer hin und her Doch wohin der Weg sie fährt weiss keiner mehr Sie kaufen sich ein bisschen Glück das morgens schon im Wind verweht Gestern ist schon lang vorbei weil die Welt sich täglich weiterdreht Die Welt von heut'ist reich und schön doch ich hab' soviel Menschen einsam geseh'n Die Welt von heut' sie nimmt und gibt Doch du siehst nichts davon wenn niemand dich liebt Denn dann bist du allein! Wer geht neben dir? Hast du ihn vielleicht schon 'mal gefragt nach seinem Namen? Ob er weint oder lacht oder ob dieses Leben ihn genauso wie dich schon einsam gemacht hat? Man redet von Liebe immerzu und man sucht und findet sie nicht Weil keiner mehr sein Herz verschenkt und weil er nur noch an sich und nichts weiter denkt Die Welt von heut'ist reich und schön doch ich hab' soviel Menschen einsam geseh'n Die Welt von heut' sie nimmt und gibt Doch du siehst nichts davon wenn niemand dich liebt Denn dann bist du allein!
As Long As I Live Composer(s): Ted Koehler - Harold Arlen First performance/First recording: Lena Horne & Avon Long - 1934/Will Osborne & His Orch. - 1934 Covered by multiple other artists
Maybe I can't live to love you as long as I want to Life isn't long enough baby, but I can love you as long as I live
Maybe I can't give you diamonds and things like I want to But I can promise you, baby, I'm gonna want to as long as I live
I never cared, but now I'm scared, I won't live long enough That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains and eat an apple every day then see the doctor anyway
What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to Long as I promise you, baby, I'm gonna love you as long I live
I'll even wear long underwear, when winter breezes blow I'm gonna take good care of me because, a sneeze or two might mean the flu And that would never never do What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to Long as I promise you, baby, I'm gonna love you as long I live
Dit is het moeilijkste uur uit heel m'n leven Dit is het laatste vaarwel van een man en een vrouw Niets wat ik nu nog aan jou zou kunnen geven Dan m'n hart, maar dat was altijd al van jou
Dit is het laatste moment van ons twee samen Nu kennen wij allebei voor 't eerst geen verwijt Nooit was je mij zo vertrouwd Als vandaag, nu m'n ziel om je rouwt Nu alles voorbij is, voor altijd
Als jij, heel misschien Ooit mij weer zult zien Denk dan, als het kan Nog alleen aan de tijd vol genegenheid
Want zo was het laatste moment van ons twee samen Toen kenden wij allebei voor elkaar geen verwijt Nooit was je mij zo vertrouwd Maar m'n hart is van binnen zo koud Nu alles voorbij is, voor altijd
