Memories In Gold Composer(s): Ken Barnes; Pete Moore Performer(s): Frankie Laine
Those melodies that reach across the years Have underscored our laughter and our tears With every phrase we see the past unfold Like memories in gold
Some tunes remind us of our childhood days The Sunday afternoons and songs of praise Reflecting happy times and joys untold These memories in gold
From those early nurs'ry rhymes to our adolescent times We'd find more favourites as we went along How could we go wrong with a special song That would always see us through
Our lives without them might be cold and bleak A favourite song says more than words can speak They helped me win your love to have and hold Sweet Memories in gold
(When the band played rock and roll) (And the people called it soul) (Our favourite songs were like a tapestry) Etched in melody, they will always be Part of you and part of me
There's little more to add when songs are sung The words and music help keep us young And so we're not afraid of growing old With memories, let's hear them please Sweet memories in gold
One Good Love Composer(s): Neil Diamond; Gary Nicholson Performer(s): Neil Diamond
It took a while for me to know What I was looking for And ev'ry heart I've ever known Just left me wanting more
One good love can turn it all around Take hold of a restless heart And lead it back to solid ground You can search the world for happiness And never get enough When all you really need to find Is one good love
I followed all life's pleasures Wherever they would lead But someone I can treasure Is all I really need
One good love can turn it all around Take hold of a restless heart And lead it back to solid ground One good love can take you to the light With just one touch you can forget A thousand empty nights You can search the world for happiness And never get enough When all you really need to find Is one good love
Memories At The Window Composer(s): Black Oak Arkansas Performer(s): Black Oak Arkansas
I went to the window To look for some memories we had But it seemed that the window Had lost all its meaning That's sad
I gazed thru the window But things didn't look like before For the things I used to see I know I'll see them no more
Some things may seem So unimportant and small But to the one's who love them most Like the trees they are tall For it was there that i first saw The things I most wanted in life And to see them again would Now woman if you want me Then I'll want you I'll want you
Woman if you'll have me Then I'll have you I'll have you
I went to the window To look for some memories we had But it seemed that the window Had lost all its meaning That's sad I gazed thru the window But things didn't look like before For the things I used to see I know I'll see them no more
One Friend Composer(s): Dan Seals Performer(s): Dan Seals
I always thought you were the best I guess I always will I always felt that we were blessed And I feel that way, still Sometimes we took the hard road But we always saw it through If I had only one friend left I'd want it to be you
Sometimes the world was on our side Sometimes it wasn't fair Sometimes it gave a helping hand Sometimes we didn't care 'Cause when we were together It made the dream come true If I had only one friend left I'd want it to be you
Someone who understands me And knows me inside out And helps keep me together And believes without a doubt That I could move a mountain Someone to tell it to If I had only one friend left I'd want it to be you
'Cause when we were together It made the dream come true If I had only one friend left I'd want it to be you
Someone who understands me And knows me inside out And helps keep me together And believes without a doubt That I could move a mountain Someone to tell it to If I had only one friend left I'd want it to be you

Zo mooi, mooi was die tijd Zo mooi, mooi was die tijd
'k Zit te dromen op een strand Ver, zo ver mijn vaderland Geen kus, geen groet Geen hart, geen moed De zee die is zo wijd, zo wijd 'k Wil bij mijn vrienden zijn En proeven van de wijn Rozen die bloeien in de tuin Het gras is altijd groen Waar is die eerste zoen Elk beeld vervaagt met de tijd
Harde jaren, weinig loon Alles wordt zo heel gewoon Geen kus, geen groet Geen hart, geen moed De zee die is zo wijd, zo wijd 'k Wil bij mijn vrienden zijn En proeven van de wijn Rozen die bloeien in de tuin Het gras is altijd groen Waar is die eerste zoen
Aan de hemel staat een ster En die wenkt van ver, heel ver 'k Verwijt met spijt De pijn, de tijd De zee die is zo wijd, zo wijd 'k Wil bij mijn vrienden zijn En proeven van de wijn Rozen die bloeien in de tuin Het gras is altijd groen Waar is die eerste zoen Elk beeld vervaagt met de tijd...

(sweet, sweet memories you gave-a me you can't beat the memories you gave-a me)
Take one fresh and tender kiss Add one stolen night of bliss One girl, one boy Some grief, some joy Memories are made of this
Don't forget a small moonbeam Fold in lightly with a dream Your lips and mine Two sips of wine Memories are made of this
Then add the wedding bells One house where lovers dwell Three little kids for the flavour Stir carefully through the days See how the flavour stays These are the dreams you'll savour
With His blessings from above Serve it generously with love One man, one wife One love through life Memories are made of this Memories are made of this
One For The Money Composer(s): Travis Edmonson Performer(s): The Hootenanny Singers & The Highway Men
One for the money Two for the show Three to get ready And four to go
I have travelled all over this land And one sad thing I do find When the wide road calls You must leave friends and all Leaving a song behind For a while Leaving a song behind
One for the money -- sing for a penny Two for the show -- any song that I know Three to get ready -- wide road is pretty And four to go And four to go
Some value money And some value fame Some value women and wine But a song and a friend 'Round each turn of the bend Are riches I'd rather were mine Anytime Riches I'd rather were mine
One for the money Two for the show Three to get ready And four to go
Now I am gone May my wish linger on Its echo fall soft on your ear May your riches increase May you all live in peace And happiness grow every year My friend Happiness grows every year
One for the money -- sing for a penny Two for the show -- any song that I know Three to get ready -- wide road is pretty And four to go It's been good to know you And four to go A long, long way to go
Memories Danish Title: Minder Composer(s): Leonard Cohen; Phil Spector Originally performed by: Leonard Cohen
Frankie Laine, he was singing Jezebel I pinned an Iron Cross to my lapel I walked up to the tallest and the blondest girl I said, Look, you don't know me now but very soon you will So won't you let me see I said "won't you let me see" I said "won't you let me see Your naked body?"
Just dance me to the dark side of the gym Chances are I'll let you do most anything I know you're hungry, I can hear it in your voice And there are many parts of me to touch, you have your choice Ah but no you cannot see She said "no you cannot see" She said "no you cannot see My naked body"
So We're dancing close, the band is playing Stardust Balloons and paper streamers floating down on us She says, You've got a minute left to fall in love In solemn moments such as this I have put my trust And all my faith to see I said all my faith to see I said all my faith to see Her naked body
One for sorrow, two for joy Three for a letter and four for a boy Five for silver, six for gold Seven for a secret thats never been told
Do you remember, as a child, looking up into the sky Counting blackbirds on the wing and the song we used to sing?
One for sorrow, two for joy Three for a letter and four for a boy Five for silver, six for gold Seven for a secret thats never been told
On the day you left me, came blackbird number one Bringing me the sorrow and took away the sun I searched the sky, that lonely sky For two or three or four For joy a letter would bring to me From the boy who I adore
One for sorrow, two for joy Three for a letter and four for a boy
You left me over things I said You know my love is true And five would turn my darkest clouds Into a silver dew
Today I saw six blackbirds Flying on their way A lonely blackbird joined them And they seemed to say
Five for silver, six for gold Seven for a secret thats never been told
Youre coming back to me my love With a band of gold And then Ill share a secret A secret Ive never told
One for sorrow, two for joy Three for a letter and four for a boy Five for silver, six for gold Seven for a secret thats never been told
Memories Composer(s): Bill Strange; Mac Davis Originally performed by: Elvis Presley Covered by various other artists
Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine
Quiet thought come floating down And settle softly to the ground Like golden autumn leaves around my feet I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories Sweet memories
Of holding hands and red bouquets And twilight trimmed in purple haze And laughing eyes and simple ways And quiet nights and gentle days with you
Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine Memories, memories, sweet memories
One For My Baby (And One More For The Road) Composer(s): Harold Arlen; Johnny Mercer Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
It's quarter to three there's no one in the place except you and me So, set 'em up, Joe
I got a little story you ought to know We're drinking, my friend
to the end of a brief episode Make it one for my baby and one more for the road I got the routine
so drop another nickel in the machine I'm feeling so bad, wish you'd make the music pretty and sad Could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your code So, make it one for my baby and one more for the road You'd never know it but buddy, I'm a kind of poet And I got a lot of things to say And when I'm gloomy, you simply got to listen to me Till it's all talked away Well that's how it goes and Joe, I know your getting pretty anxious to close So, thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear This torch that I found must be drowned or it soon might explode So, make it one for my baby and one more for the road That long, long road
One For Jo Composer(s): Bert Jansch Performer(s): Bert Jansch
It's one for Jo Don't let your mind go He's a dreamer darlin' He's even kind of slow I don't believe the tales he tells But they're always nice to have He's a dreamer darlin' I always gave him that
In a white tuxedo He's remarkably cool A prince of livin' Knows all the rules and a black sedan so royaly Takes his love to school No one can reproach him No one but a fool
He's a bold sea captain In his books and oilskin hat He's struggling blindly Through seas wild and black For down the river he glides With his maiden by his side You think of that girl How can your love hide?
It's one for Jo Don't let your mind go He's a dreamer darlin' He's even kind of slow I don't believe the tales he tells But they're always nice to have He's a dreamer darlin' I always gave him that
Memories Composer(s): Graham Gouldman; Eric Michael Stewart Performer(s): 10 cc
The summers were longer, they went on forever Oh and the sky so blue We never worried about anything We didn't question the nature of things We didn't want to know Talking in whispers and wondering Oh and I loved you so
Memories, they linger with you but you soon forget that we started in innocence Memories, they linger with you but you soon forget when you're grown
We dream in the night, of mythical days And nights in white satin But when the child wakes, the fantasy breaks We didn't know what the future would bring We didn't want to know Something was growing inside me Oh and I loved you so
Memories, they linger with you but you soon forget that we started in innocence Memories, they linger with you but you soon forget when you're grown
Photographs, faded photographs Holidays, summer holidays First love, broken promises All a play, I'm going back to yesterday
The feeling was stronger, if went on forever Oh and your eyes were true We were so wrapped up in all of our dreams We didn't care what the future would bring We didn't want to know Talking in whispers and wondering Oh and I loved you so......
Memories, they linger with you but you soon forget that we started in innocence Memories, they linger with you but you soon forget when you're grown
One Foot Out The Door Composer(s): Edward Van Halen; David Lee Roth; Michael Anthony; Alex Van Halen Performer(s): Van Halen
I grabbed that telephone I thought we were alone Telling me there's company Your husband's comin' home I've been thinking about this Saturday night with you I've been thinking about it all week long And now I'm gonna lose it 'cause that Son-of-a-bitch got me singin' that same old song Got one foot out the door Tryin' to hit the road Ain't no match for your mean old man I think it's time to roll Got one foot out the door Got one foot out the door Think I'm gonna fight him? Don't you let him put down Put that to the floor Put the pedal to the metal And you beat it out of town No comin' back, back for more
Memorial Day Composer(s): Carly Simon Performer(s): Carly Simon
It should have been so soft This morning as we left But the valley was infected by a different kind of beauty And the indians, they knew It was a devil's sanctuary
Out of this unholy dawn A car came stirring up the sand And a woman from a passion play Held up the limousine That brought me all this way today
And I didn't need to turn around So strong was the message And the man who planned her life Commanded all that followed
Well, they bellowed and they hollered And they threw each other down Down in this valley This cruel and lovely valley Oh, it should have been an alley In some low-down part of town
As the light came up There was no sun And brandy splattered all over the ground As this woman with her head held high Yelled "Love!" and "Why, oh why!" "You're killing me, oh, follow me!" As I watched safe and clean From the frosted windows in the limousine
Well, they bellowed and they hollered And they threw each other down Down in this valley This cruel and lovely valley Oh, it should have been an alley In some low-down part of town
Before he'd been so funny Imagining the best That he'd escape recrimination For abandoning the nest He'd been joking and stoned While he was entertaining me But then turned and was stunned By her panic and her misery And I was in the getaway car Giving him a chance to get away Get away, get away Get away, get away, get away
And how the valley smoked As he crossed Route 25 With his cymbals and his shattered crown Leaving all alone His eyes fixed on the ground
And he didn't need to turn around So strong was the message And he fell into the shallow sky And was swallowed
Well, they bellowed and they hollered And they threw each other down Down in this valley This cruel and lovely valley Oh, it should have been an alley In some low-down part of town
One Fine Morning Composer(s): Skip Prokop Performer(s): Lighthouse; Augusto Martelli; Santana; The Skycoasters
One fine morning, girl, I'll wake up Wipe the sleep from my eyes Go outside and feel the sunshine Then I know I'll realize That as long as you love me, girl, we'll fly
And on that mornin' when I wake up I'll see your face inside a cloud See your smile inside a window Hear your voice inside a crowd Calling, "Come with me baby and we'll fly"
And on that mornin' when I wake up We'll go outside and live our dreams I'll buy you candies made of stardust And little dolls dressed up in moonbeams And everywhere we go we'll laugh and sing I'll kiss you morning, noon and night And all the universe will smile on us 'Cause they know that our love is finally right
Yeah, we'll fly to the east, we'll fly to the west There'll be no place we can't call our own Yeah, we'll fly to the north, we'll fly to the south Every planet will become our home
------ piano -------
Yeah, we'll fly-y-y, yeah, we'll fly Yeah, we'll fly to the east, we'll fly to the west There'll be no place we can't call our own We'll fly to the north, we'll fly to the south Every planet will become our home
Zelfs Al Kwam Je Terug French & Italian Titles: Même Si Tu Revenais; Non È Casa Mia Composer(s): Vline Buggy; Bernard Kesslair; Jacques Chaumelle; Ingrid Mank Performer(s): Isabelle A (Originally performed by: Claude François)
Een verlaten weg in een lege stad een gesloten hek een vergeten pad aan het eind daarvan een verloren droom het is ons huis zo leeg en onbewoond achter elke boom een herinnering aan de tijd waarin alles vanzelf ging en in onze tuin waar zoveel tijd inkroop staat een bord met 'huis te koop'
Maar zelfs, zelfs al kwam je terug t'is te laat je bent te ver gevlucht en mijn hart is eindelijk weer van mij ik zet geen stap meer terug ik ga niet meer opzij Want zelfs, zelfs al kwam je terug t'is te laat je bent te ver gevlucht en mijn hart is eindelijk weer van mij zelfs al kwam je terug je hoort er niet meer bij
Het heeft lang geduurt voor het over was voor ik alle wanhoop weer te boven was nu ik niet meer smachtend op je liefde wacht is het zoveel mooier dan ik dacht en mijn huis is klein en mijn bed is leeg elke ochtend maak ik thee voor mij alleen ik heb geen paleis in een koninkrijk maar heb mijn vrijheid terug dus ben ik rijk
Maar zelfs, zelfs al kwam je terug t'is te laat je bent te ver gevlucht en mijn hart is eindelijk weer van mij ik zet geen stap meer terug ik ga niet meer opzij Want zelfs, zelfs al kwam je terug t'is te laat je bent te ver gevlucht en mijn hart is eindelijk weer van mij zelfs al kwam je terug je hoort er niet meer bij
Maar zelfs, zelfs al kwam je terug t'is te laat je bent te ver gevlucht en mijn hart is eindelijk weer van mij ik zet geen stap meer terug ik ga niet meer opzij Want zelfs, zelfs al kwam je terug t'is te laat je bent te ver gevlucht en mijn hart is eindelijk weer van mij zelfs al kwam je terug je hoort er niet meer bij
Zelfs al bied je mij je excuses aan ja zelfs al zou je smekend op je knie?n gaan ik geef niet meer toe aan verloren tijd t'is voorgoed gedaan je bent me kwijt
(maar zelfs) Maar zelfs, zelfs al kwam je terug t'is te laat je bent te ver gevlucht en mijn hart is eindelijk weer van mij ik zet geen stap meer terug ik ga niet meer opzij Want zelfs, zelfs al kwam je terug t'is te laat je bent te ver gevlucht en mijn hart is eindelijk weer van mij zelfs al kwam je terug je hoort er niet meer bij
