Blijf Nog 1 Nacht ((Adapted from: Avant De Nous Dire Adieu (by Jeane Manson) - 1976)) Composer(s): Michel Mallory - Jean Renard - Jo De Clercq Performer(s): Wendy Van Wanten - 1995
Blijf nog één nacht Voordat je mij alleen laat Voor je mij voorgoed alleen laat
Blijf nog één nacht Voordat je van me weggaat Voor je echt van mij weggaat
Blijf nog één nacht Als was het weer de eerste keer, de laatste keer Nog één keer en dan daarna nooit meer
Blijf nog één nacht Voordat je mij alleen laat Voor je mij voorgoed alleen laat
Blijf nog één nacht Voordat je van me weggaat Voor je echt van mij weggaat
Blijf nog één nacht Als was het weer de eerste keer, de laatste keer Nog één keer en dan daarna nooit meer
Geef je nog één keer aan mij Zoals een man aan een vrouw Dan is 't voor altijd voorbij Hoeveel ik ook van je hou
Ik zal heel lief voor je zijn En alles doen wat je wil Maar blijf bij mij
Ik heb met liefde gedaan Al wat een meisje kan doen Als er iets fout is gegaan Dan wil ik alles herdoen
Jij die me ooit zo graag zag Nee, ga niet weg deze nacht Maar blijf bij mij
Blijf nog één nacht Voordat je mij alleen laat Blijf nog één nacht Voordat je van me weggaat
Blijf nog één nacht Als was het weer de eerste keer, de laatste keer Nog één keer en dan daarna nooit meer
Blijf nog één nacht Voordat je mij alleen laat Voor je mij voorgoed alleen laat
Blijf nog één nacht Voordat je van me weggaat Voor je echt van mij weggaat
Blijf nog één nacht Als was het weer de eerste keer, de laatste keer Nog één keer en dan daarna nooit meer En dan daarna nooit meer En dan daarna nooit meer
Avant Je posais ma tête au creux de tes mains Comme un enfant je n'avais peur de rien Quand mon corps épuisé s'abandonnais Au creux du lit où nos vies commençaient
Avant Moi aussi, je caressais tes cheveux Et mes lèvres savaient fermer tes yeux Et je pouvais te regarder dormir Sans jamais me lasser de ton sourire
Avant Je savais te faire crier de joie Et je trouvais les mots qui te brûlaient Et c'était tout ton corps qui m'appelait Quand tu m'aimais mais c'était avant
Avant Tout était beau lorsque tu étais là Ces champs de blé où nous tombions parfois Avec le soleil qui éclaboussait Ta robe blanche qui dansait
Maintenant Je sais ce que c'est que d'avoir très mal Mal à ne plus savoir comment pleurer Comment vivre et sans savoir où aller Maintenant que l'amour est au passé
Avant Je savais te faire crier de joie Et je trouvais les mots qui te brûlaient Et c'était tout ton corps qui m'appelait Quand tu m'aimais mais c'était avant
Avant Tout était beau lorsque tu étais là Ces champs de blé où nous tombions parfois Avec le soleil qui éclaboussait Ta robe blanche qui dansait...
Avalon Hideaway Composer(s): Frank Beard - Billy Gibbons - Dusty Hill Performer(s): ZZ Top
Somebody breathin' down my neck While I'm tryin' to roll the bones I don't care I'll just float a check 'Cause I'm feelin' my gamblin' Jones Here come seven, gimme eleven come again Love to hideout where I am my own best friend
There's crazy little Linda Lou With the long and lanky legs Nobody do it like Linda do At these backwoods lone star dregs Like I told you, head out FM 92 Roll in slowly, you'll be safer if you do
If you don't know what I'm talkin' about Let me ease your worried mind It's the place to go without a doubt But it's a little bit hard to find Back in the timber, once you're there You'll wanna stay Get loose and limber anytime night or day Just remember, ask for the Avalon hideaway
Don't Give Up On Us
Composer(s): Tony Macaulay
First release by: David Soul - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
Don't give up on us, baby Don't make the wrong seem right The future isn't just one night It's written in the moonlight Painted on the stars We can't change ours
Don't give up on us, baby We're still worth one more try I know we put a last one by Just for a rainy evening When maybe stars are few Don't give up on us, I know We can still come through
I really lost my head last night You've got a right to start believin' There's still a little love left, even so
Don't give up on us, baby Lord knows we've come this far Can't we stay the way we are? The angel and the dreamer Who sometimes plays a fool Don't give up on us, I know We can still come through
It's written in the moonlight Painted on the stars We can't change ours
Don't give up on us, baby We're still worth one more try I know we put a last one by Just for a rainy evening When maybe stars are few Don't give up on us, I know We can still come through
Don't give up on us, baby Don't give up on us, baby
Avalon Blues Composer(s): Mississippi John Hurt Performer(s): Mississippi John Hurt; Bill Morrissey
Got to New York this mornin', just about half-past nine Got to New York this mornin', just about half-past nine Hollerin' one mornin' in Avalon, couldn't hardly keep from cryin'
Avalon is my hometown, always on my mind Avalon is my hometown, always on my mind Pretty mama's in Avalon want me there all the time
When the train left Avalon, throwin' kisses and wavin' at me When the train left Avalon, throwin' kisses and wavin' at me Says, "Come back, daddy, and stay right here with me"
Avalon's a small town, have no great big range Avalon's a small town, have no great big range Pretty mama's in Avalon, they sure will spend your change
New York's a good town, but it's not for mine New York's a good town, but it's not for mine Goin' back to Avalon, near where I have a pretty mama all the time
Don't Give Up
Composer(s): Tony Hatch - Jackie Trent
Performer(s): Petula Clark
When love seems to get you down When you can't turn around and run You've got to stop and face the fact That the heartaches have just begun Because you need love, you need love Keep on till you know what you've won, yeah!
Don't give up, don't let it get you down Don't give up, don't think of leaving town Don't give up, don't run away from it Love will be yours in the end, my friend
When someone is on your mind And you can't find the words to say Don't put off until tomorrow, my friend What you know you've gotta do today Because you need love, you need love And in time you'll discover the way, yeah!
Don't give up, don't let it get you down Don't give up, don't think of leaving town Don't give up, don't run away from it Love will be yours in the end, my friend You know you need love, you need love Keep on till you know what you've won, yeah!
Now don't give up, don't let it get you down Don't give up, don't think of leaving town Don't give up, don't run away from it Love will be yours in the end, my friend

I found my love in Avalon Beside the bay I left my love in Avalon And I sailed away I dream of her in Avalon From dusk till dawn So I think I'll travel on To Avalon
Every morn' my memories stray Across the sea where flying fishes play And as the night is falling I find that I'm recalling That blissful all-enthralling day
Beside the bay And I sailed away I dream of her in Avalon From dusk till dawn So I think I'll travel on To Avalon
Don't Give Up
Composer(s): Peter Gabriel
First release by: Peter Gabriel - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists
In this proud land we grew up strong We were wanted all along I was taught to fight Taught to win I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face I've changed my name But no one wants you when you lose
Don't give up 'Cause you have friends Don't give up You're not beaten yet Don't give up I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around Never thought that I could be affected Thought that we'd be the last to go It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home The place that I was born, on the lakeside As daylight broke, I saw the earth The trees had burned down to the ground
Don't give up You still have us Don't give up We don't need much of anything Don't give up 'Cause somewhere there's a place where we belong
Rest your head You worry too much It's going to be alright When times get rough You can fall back on us Don't give up Please don't give up
Got to walk out of here I can't take anymore Going to stand on that bridge Keep my eyes down below Whatever may come And whatever may go That river's flowing That river's flowing
Moved on to another town Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men So many men no-one needs
Don't give up 'Cause you have friends Don't give up You're not the only one Don't give up No reason to be ashamed Don't give up You still have us Don't give up now We're proud of who you are Don't give up You know it's never been easy Don't give up 'Cause I believe there's a place There's a place where we belong
Aux Yeux De Ton Amour ((Adapted from: Looking Through The Eyes Of Love (by Gene Pitney) - 1965)) Composer(s): Barry Mann - Cynthia Weil - Georges Aber Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1965
Aux yeux de l'univers Je suis un grain de sable Oui je sais Au milieu de la vie Aux yeux de l'univers Je n'suis rien qu'un passant Oui je sais Perdu dans l'infini Mais à tes yeux, oh mon Amour Je suis un héros, pour toi Quand je vois Le danger Pour te protéger Oui aux yeux de ton Amour Oui aux yeux de ton Amour Oui aux yeux de ton Amour Je suis le plus fort... Aux yeux de l'univers Je ne suis rien qu'un homme Oui je sais Qui va vivre te mourir Aux yeux de l'univers Je me sens quelquefois écrasé Face à mon avenir Mais à tes yeux, oh mon Amour Je suis un héros pour toi Quand je vois Le danger Pour te protéger Oui aux yeux de ton Amour Oui aux yeux de ton Amour Oui aux yeux de ton Amour Je suis le plus fort...
Don't Give In To Him
Composer(s): Gary Usher
Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap; The Ventures
It starts out with a kiss Even though you're only friends Now there's nothing wrong with this But this is where his act begins
He'll hold you and tell you That's what love is for Oh but don't give in to him No, no don't give in to him Cause he will only ask for more
You don't want to lose him So you let him have his way You don't dare refuse him Because you know the price you'll pay He's braggin' that he's never lost before So don't give in to him No, no don't give in to him Cause he will only ask for more
Baby, don't give in to him No, no don't give in to him Cause I'm the one who loves you more...
Looking Through The Eyes Of Love ((French Version: Aux Yeux De Ton Amour (by Eddy Mitchell) - 1965)) Composer(s): Barry Mann - Cynthia Weil First release by: Gene Pitney - 1965
In the eyes of the world Im a loser just wastin my time I cant make a dime In the eyes of the world being born was my first big mistake I cant get a break But in the eyes of my woman I stand Like a hero, a giant, a man whos as tall as can be Any fool can see
That shes lookin through the eyes of love (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love when she looks at me-ee
In the eyes of the crowd Im a do-nothin kind of a guy Wholl just live and die In the eyes of the crowd Im another poor Joe on the street Cant get on my feet But in the eyes of my woman theyre wrong Im a king and a lover as strong and as brave as can be Any fool can see
That shes lookin through the eyes of love (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love when she looks at me-ee
Shes making me believe someday Someday Im gonna find a way To be the man that she can see When she looks at me (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love (lookin through the eyes of love) Lookin through the eyes of love
Don't Give A Dose To The One You Love The Most Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Shel Silverstein
Don't give a dose to the one you love most Give her some marmalade...give her some toast You can give her the willies or give her the blues But the dose that you give her will get back to youse
I once had a lady as sweet as a song She was my darlin', and she was my dear But she had a dose, and she passed it along Now she's gone, but the dose is still there
So, don't give a dose to the one you love most Give her some marmalade...give her some toast You can give her a partiridge up in a pear tree But the dose that you give her might get back to me
So if you've got an itchin'...if you've got a drip Don't sit there wishin' for it to go 'way If there's a thing on the tip of your thing or your lip Run down to the clinic today, and say...
"I won't give a dose to the one I love most I'll give her some marmalade...give her some toast" Give her the willies or give her the blues But the dose that you give her will get back to you
Aux Talons De Ses Souliers Composer(s): Enrico Macias Performer(s): Enrico Macias
Les rues, les jours de marché, piquantes et bariolées Parfumées dorange et de piment Un régiment doliviers, bordés de citronniers avec une maison devant Les premières joies du cur devant un champ de fleurs Sont marquées de rose et damitié Quand jévoque ces instants je sens que mon accent revient comme il était avant
On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers Quand pour vivre plus tranquille on doit tout abandonner
Les arcades tamisées où les petits cafés Semblent sallonger sur les trottoirs La vieille maison de pierre, ce coin de cimetière où dort notre page dhistoire Les couleurs de la montagne sous le ciel qui senflamme Par le feu tout proche du désert Cest autant de souvenirs quon ne peut pas détruire Pourtant ils nous ont fait souffrir
On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers Quand pour vivre plus tranquille on doit tout abandonner
Que lon vive nimporte où Laccent nous suit partout comme une ombre doublée dun miroir On le porte comme un drapeau Planté sur chaque mot Depuis quon a pris le départ
On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers Quand pour vivre plus tranquille on doit tout abandonner On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers Et pour vivre plus tranquille On doit tout recommencer
Don't Get Me Wrong
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
First release by: The Pretenders - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists
Don't get me wrong If I'm looking kind of dazzled I see neon lights Whenever you walk by
Don't get me wrong If you say hello and I take a ride Upon a sea where the mystic moon Is playing havoc with the tide Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong If I'm acting so distracted I'm thinking about the fireworks That go off when you smile
Don't get me wrong If I split like light refracted I'm only off to wander Across a moonlit mile
Once in a while Two people meet Seemingly for no reason They just pass on the street Suddenly thunder showers everywhere Who can explain the thunder and rain But there's something in the air
Don't get me wrong If I come and go like fashion I might be great tomorrow But hopeless yesterday
Don't get me wrong If I fall in the mode of passion It might be unbelievable But let's not stay so long It might just be fantastic Don't get me wrong
Don't Get Me Started Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins
Dont get me started on politicians And the lies they spread Dont even mention sex and religion And who they take to bed But if you see me running down the street Know where Im running to Im tired of honesty being denied us Im coming looking for you
Dont hold me down, Im on my way And nothings gonna turn me round Dont turn around, give it to me straight Im on my way and nothings gonna shake me Ill hold my ground Wild horses wont make me
Dont get me started on information Magazines and t.v. Theres one man under his big umbrella While its raining on you and me Everyday its getting harder to judge Fiction from fact Im tired of truth being denied me Its mine and I want it back
Dont hold me down, Im on my way And nothings gonna turn me round Dont turn around, give it to me straight Im on my way and nothings gonna shake me Ill hold my ground Wild horses wont make me
Business as usual in our pressure steamer Where reality slips from view They say that we cant take it I think I can, can you?
Dont get me started on blood and thunder With people flying blind Not caring what or who they take with them Or what they leave behind Its one mans God against another While the river of tears roll by The things they do in the name of their father Can someone tell me why
Dont hold me down, Im on my way And nothings gonna turn me round Dont turn around, give it to me straight Im on my way and nothings gonna shake me Ill hold my ground Dont get me started
