One Hundred Ways Composer(s): Tony Coleman; Kathy Wakefield; Benjamin Wright Performer(s): Quincy Jones; and various other artists
Compliment what she does Send her roses just because If it's violins she loves Let them play Dedicate her favourite song And hold her closer all night long Love her today Find one hundred ways
Dont forget, there could be An old lover in her memory If you need her so much more Why don't you say? Maybe she has it in her mind That she's just wasting her time Ask her to stay Find one hundred ways
Being cool won't help you keep a love warm You'll just blow your only chance Take the time to open up your heart That's the secret of romance
Sacrifice if you care Buy her some moonlight to wear If it's one more star she wants Go all the way In your arms tonight, she'll reflect That she owes you the sweetest of debts If she wants to pay Find one hundred ways
Memphis In The Meantime Composer(s): John Hiatt Performer(s): John Hiatt and various other artists
I got some'n' to say little girl You might not like my style But we been hangin' around this town Just a little too long a while You say you're gonna get your act together Gonna take it out on the road But if I don't get out o' here pretty soon My head's going to explode Sure I like country music And I like mandolins But right now I need a Telecaster Through a Vibrolux turned up to 10
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby Ahw ... Memphis in the meantime girl Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby Memphis in the meantime girl
I need a little shot of that rhythm baby Mixed up with these country blues I wanna trade in these ol' cowboy boots For some fine Italian shoes Forget the mousse and the hairspray sugar We don't need none of that Just a little dab'll do ya girl Underneath a pork pie hat Until hell freezes over Maybe you can wait that long But I don't think Ronnie Milsap's gonna ever Record this song
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl
Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there But maybe there's somethin' in the aiiirrrrr Before our upper lips get stiff Maybe we need us a big ol' whiff...
If we could just get off-a that beat little girl Maybe we could find the groove At least we can get ourselves a decent meal Down at the Rendezvous 'Cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord Girl, it's gonna do me in I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone You know sound as sweet as sin And after we get good and greasy Baby we can come on home Put the cow horns back on the Cadillac And change the message on the Cordaphone But...
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl
I'm a talking about Mem---phis I'm talkin' 'bout Mem---phis Mem---phis
One Hundred Miles To Liverpool Composer(s): Alan Hull Performer(s): Lindisfarne
Sue and Annie wrote me
they're coming down to quote me know every word to every song Rod N' Ray are talking, the radio is squawking me I'm wondering what the hell went wrong
Chorus: 100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go been down this road in sunshine and in snow and it don't get any shorter and the water under the bridge has got to flow, oh no
Funny how a mile can go on forever funny how a day can be an age funny how a smile can face the stormy weather funny how a house can be a cage
Chorus: 100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go been down this road in sunshine and in snow and it don't get any shorter and the water under the bridge has got to flow
John and Paul are sleeping, a streetcleaner is sweeping the moon is on his own no place to go Me, I'm cracking jokes in the bar with all the blokes toasting the end of another show
Chorus: But in my dreams I see Liverpool in lights dancing in the streets 'til the early morning light The tug boat on the Mersey joining in the Jamboree well a man must have his dreams even though his dreams might never come to be
Chorus: 100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go been down this road in sunshine and in snow and it don't get any shorter and the water under the bridge has got to
Chorus: 100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go been down this road in sunshine and in snow and it don't get any shorter and the water under the bridge has got to flow
One Hit (To The Body) Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards; Ron Wood Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
You fell out of the clear blue sky To the darkness below The smell of your flesh excites me My blood starts to flow So help me God
You burst in in a blaze of light You unzippered the dark One kiss took my breath away One look lights up the stars And it's it's one hit to the body It comes straight from the heart One hit to the body Sure went straight to the mark So help me God
It's one shot when you love me One shot when you leave me I don't need no security I just need some peace And it's one hit to the body It comes straight from the heart One voice calls out my name It sure went straight to the mark
One punch and you knocked me down Tore my defenses apart One round took me out of the game You did me some permanent harm It took just one hit It took just one hit It ain't enough for me It ain't enough for me It ain't enough for me It's hurting me baby
Oh your love is a sweet addiction I can't clean you out of my veins It's a life long addiction That has damaged my brain It took just one hit to the body To tear my defenses apart One hit to the body Sure went straight to the mark One hit to the body And it comes straight from the heart One hit to the body To the body, to the body Come straight from the heart
One hit to the body And it comes straight from the heart
One hit to the body And it comes straight from the heart That's all it took, that's all it took So help me so help me so help me God So help me so help me so help me God
One hit to the body And it comes straight from the heart One hit to the body And it comes straight from the heart
One Hello Composer(s): Marvin Hamlish; Carole Bayer Sager Performer(s): Randy Crawford; Gladys And The Boxers; Pops Fernandez
If you're not afraid Of what love brings Then endings are beginnings Are beautiful things Its a chance you'll take It's a chance you'll win If someone gonna find you First you gotta let them in
Coz love begins with one hello The hardest part is over Now its easy letting go One hello is how it starts You might really love or lose your heart
If you're not afraid Of what you feel Then try and keep it simple Or try and keep it real And if being real means You'll some day say goodbye Remember my friend Goodbyes not the end Its a circle you'll learn And it starts with one hello
Love begins with one hello The hardest part is over Now it's easy letting go One hello is how it starts Remember my friend Goodbyes not the end Its a circle you know And it starts with one hello It starts with one hello
Maanlicht English & French Titles: Memory; Nos Souvenirs Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber; Trevor Nunn Performer(s): Ann De Winne (Originally performed by: Elaine Paige)
Maanlicht, wend je blik naar het maanlicht Volg de stem van je dromen Wees bereid, laat je gaan Vind je eenmaal de zin van wat geluk ook weer is Een nieuw leven breekt dan aan
Maanlicht, heel alleen in het maanlicht Droom ik hoe het voorbij vloog Oh, hoe mooi was ik toen Nooit vergeet ik de tijd dat ik geluk nog begreep Ach, die tijd weer overdoen
As en walm van avondrook De ochtendnevel huivert Er dooft een lamp Alweer een nacht ten einde Alweer een nieuwe morgen
Daglicht, op de zon moet ik wachten Aan een nieuw leven denken Ik moet sterk zijn, vol kracht Als het licht wordt zal deze nacht herinnering zijn En begint een nieuwe dag
As en walm van avondrook De ochtendnevel huivert Er dooft een lamp Alweer een nacht ten einde Alweer een nieuwe morgen
Streel me Laat me niet meer alleen zijn Met wat ik me herinner van mijn tijd in de zon Raak me aan en dan weet je wat geluk ook weer is Kijk, een nieuwe dag begon
One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart) Composer(s): Eddie Dean; Dearest Dean; Hal Blair Performer(s): Eddie Dean; and various other artists
One has my name, the other has my heart With one I'll remain, that's how my heartaches start One has brown eyes, the other's eyes are blue To one I am tied, to the other I am true
One has my love, the other only me But what good is love to a heart that can't be free So I'll go on livin' my life just the same While one has my heart, the other has my name
One has my name, the other has my heart With one I'll remain, that's how my heartaches start One has brown eyes, the other's eyes are blue To one I am tied, to the other I am true
One has my love, the other only me But what good is love to a heart that can't be free If I could live over, my life I would change The one who has my heart would also have my name
Memory Dutch & French Titles: Maanlicht; Nos Souvenirs Composer(s): T.S. Eliot; Andrew Lloyd Webber; Trevor Nunn Originally performed by: Elaine Paige Covered by various other artists
Midnight Not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet and the wind begins to moan
Memory All alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters and soon it will be morning
Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life and I mustn't give in When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too and a new day will begin Burnt out ends of smoky days the stale, cold smell of morning The street lamp dies, another night is over another day is dawning
Touch me It's so easy to leave me all alone with a memory of my days in the sun If you touch me I'll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun
One Hand, One Heart Composer(s): Leonard Bernstein; Stephen Sondheim Performer(s): Dionne Warwick; and various other artists
Make of our hands one hand Make of our hearts one hart Make of our bows one last bow Only death will part us now
Make all our lives one life Day after day, one life Now it begins, now we start One hand, one heart Even death won't part us now
With this heart I will sing to you Long as the stars have lost their glow And with these hands I'll provide for you Should there be a stormy sea I'll turn the tide for you
With one hand, one heart One hand and one heart Now it begins, now we start One hand, one heart Even death won't part, part us now
Memories Of You Composer(s): Andy Razaf; Eubie Blake Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney
Waking skies at sunrise, evry sunset too Seems to be bringing me memories of you Here and there, ev'rywhere, scenes that we once knew And they all just recall memories of you
How I wish I could forget those happy yesteryears That have left a rosary of tears
Your face beams in my dreams, in spite of all I do And ev'rything seems to bring memories of you
One Good Reason Composer(s): Gary Moore Performer(s): Gary Moore
Take me out of here This place is gettin' much to small Make me disappear vanish through the nearest wall
Give me one good reason why I should stay Give me one good reason to go on this way Give me one good reason why I should stay with you with you
Take me out of here This place is closing in on me Make it disappear somewhere else I wanna be
Give me one good reason why I should stay Give me one good reason to go on this way Give me one good reason why I should stay with you with you How, yeah
Give me one good reason why I should stay Give me one good reason to go on this way Give me one good reason why I should stay with you with you, with you
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...
