Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee it gives me a thrill To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee There's peace and goodwill You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin'bird Hill
When the sun in the mornin' peeps over the hill And kisses the roses 'round my windowsill Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill Of those birds in the treetops on Mockin'bird Hill

Mélodie Perdue ((English, German, & Italian Versions: Willingly (Dalida); Melodie Aus Alter Zeit (Dalida); Dolce Musica (Dalida)) Composer(s): Hubert Giraud - Jean Broussole Performer(s): Dalida; Les Compagnons de la Chanson
Mélodie des jours heureux Tu es resté là bas Sous les toits d'un vieux faubourg Ou les amours sont rois
Un violon venait la nuit Dans notre nid là haut Nous bercer jusqu'au petit jour D'une mélodie d'amour
Mélodie des jours heureux Tu es si loin si loin Seul ami d'un rêve enfui Au paradis perdu
Tu n'es plus tu n'es plus rien Qu'un vieux refrain connu Qui s'ennuie et traîne les rues Je ne t'entends plus Tu as disparu Toi la mélodie perdue
Geef Mij Maar De Prairie Composer(s): Bobbejaan Schoepen
Er was eens een cowboy vol grote gebreken 't Liep altijd verkeerd wat hij deed Hij lag eens te slapen in zijn wollen deken Werd wakker, dacht 'wat is het heet' Hij lag naar het kampvuur met zijn ruggekant Het zitvlak was gans uit z'n rijbroek gebrand Jipie joepie joepieahee Zing het refrein met me mee
Geef mij maar de prairie, een zadel en paard Dan kan me de rest niks schelen Alleen in de prairie op zadel en paard Daar zal ik me nooit vervelen
Hij trof eens een meisje, ook zij had gebreken En 't liep weer verkeerd wat hij deed Hij had haar, hoe dom, met z'n paard vergeleken Omdat zij hem af en toe beet Toen hij 's morgens opstond toen was ie alleen Ze ging met z'n paard en revolvertjes heen Jipie joepie joepieahee Zing het refrein met me mee
Geef mij maar de prairie, een zadel en paard Dan kan me de rest niks schelen Alleen in de prairie op zadel en paard Daar zal ik me nooit vervelen
Love On The Rocks Composer(s): Neil Diamond - Gilbert Bécaud First release by: Neil Diamond - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
Love on the rocks Ain't no surprise Pour me a drink And I'll tell you some lies Got nothin' to lose So you just sing the blues all the time
Gave you my heart Gave you my soul You left me alone here With nothing to hold Yesterday's gone Now all I want is a smile
First, they say they want you How they really need you Suddenly you find you're out there Walking in a storm When they know they have you Then they really have you Nothing you can do or say You've got to leave, just get away We all know the song
You need what you need You can say what you want Not much you can do When the feeling is gone May be blue skies above But it's cold when you love's on the rocks
First, they say they want you How they really need you Suddenly you find you're out there Walking in a storm When they know they have you Then they really have you Nothing you can do or say You've got to leave, just get away We all know the song
Love on the rocks Ain't no surprise Pour me a drink And I'll tell you some lies Yesterday's gone And now all I want is a smile
Mobile Composer(s): R. Wells; D. Holt Performer(s): Julius La Rosa; Ray Burns; Bob Scobey
They saw a swallow building his nest I guess they figured he knew best So they built a town around him And the called it Mobile Where's that? Alabama
They took a swampland heavy with steam They added people with a dream And that dream became a heaven By the name of Mobile
Pretty soon the town had grown Till they had a slide trombone And a man who played piano And a swallow who sang soprano
No use you're wondring where you should go It's on the Gulf of Mexico Where the southern bells are ringing And the climate's ideal It's a honeysuckle heaven By the name of Mobile Where's that? Alabama
Pretty soon the town had grown Till they had a slide trombone And a man who played piano And a swallow who sang soprano
No use you're wondring where you should go It's on the Gulf of Mexico Where the southern bells are ringing And the climate's ideal It's a honeysuckle heaven By the name of Mobile
Melodie Aus Alter Zeit
((English, French, & Italian Versions: Willingly (Dalida); Mélodie Perdue (Dalida); Dolce Musica (Dalida))
Composer(s): Hubert Giraud - Jean Broussole - Busch
Performer(s): Dalida
Melodie aus alter Zeit Wie sehn ich mich nach Dir Melodie du bist so weit So endlos weit von mir
Traumhaft schön erklang Musik Als er mich heiss geküsst
Doch mit ihm da verlor ich sie Meine melodie vom Glück
Melodie aus alter zeit Mein herz vergisst dich nie Melodie du klingst noch heut In meiner phantasie
Bring zurück was einmal mein Dann bin ich nicht allein
Als wir wie es früher war Schön und wunderbar Denn dann hör ich sie Die verlor'ne melodie
De wereld draait veel te snel De jaren razen voorbij En wat begon als een spel Is nu de realiteit
Dagen Wilder dan mijn wildste dromen Vragen Wil je in mijn huisje komen en wonen
Geef me tijd, geef me nog wat tijd Ja, ik weet jij me zal vinden Geef me tijd, geef me nog wat tijd Om je aan m'n liefde te binden, ja aha
Een volle zaal gaat uit de bol En daar ben jij misschien bij Lig jij al lang onder de wol Of dans je op de eerste rij
Dagen Wilder dan mijn wildste dromen Vragen Wil je in mijn huisje komen en wonen
Geef me tijd, geef me nog wat tijd Ja, ik weet jij me zal vinden Geef me tijd, geef me nog wat tijd Om je aan m'n liefde te binden
Soms ben ik bang van de eenzaamheid En hunker naar iemand zoals nooit tevoren Geborgen in tederheid En stapelverliefd tot over mijn oren
Geef me tijd, geef me tijd, geef me tijd Oh yeah Geef me tijd, geef me nog wat tijd
Geef me tijd, geef me nog wat tijd Want ik weet jij me zal vinden Geef me tijd, geef me nog wat tijd Om je aan m'n liefde te binden
Geef me tijd, geef me nog wat tijd Geef me tijd, geef me nog wat tijd Geef me tijd, geef me nog wat tijd Geef me tijd, geef me nog wat tijd Geef me nog wat tijd
Moaning The Blues Composer(s): Lizzie Douglas; Joe McCoy Performer(s): Memphis Minnie
Oh, the blues got ways, sometimes just like a natural man Oh, the blues got ways, sometimes just like a natural man I don't care which away you turn, they always is on your hands
Won't you tell me, baby, how come you don't come back home Won't you tell me, baby, how come you don't come back home I lay down last night with my back door open all night long
Here come the blues this morning, just 'fore day they shut my door Here come the blues this morning, just 'fore day they shut my door But the Lord forgive me, I won't have them things no more
This morning, setting on the side of my bed This morning, blues set on the side of my bed They's come brought you a letter why your proud good man fell dead

Het is gek, hij is weg Maar het is een bevrijding Het is gek, hij is weg Maar ik voel geen verdriet Het is gek, hij is weg 't Was zo lang al een dreiging Het is gek, hij is weg Maar nu mis ik hem niet

Het is gek, hij is weg Maar de zon blijft nog schijnen Het is gek, hij is weg Maar ik voel nog geen kou Het is gek, hij is weg Maar hij mocht wel verdwijnen Het is gek, hij is weg Maar de lucht is nog blauw
Met wie ik hem zie, dat speelt voor mij geen rol meer Het is voorbij, het mag, elke dag Er was al niets meer tussen hem en mij Met wie ik hem zie, dat doet me nu niets meer want ik heb beslist Het mag, elke dag, want ik weet nu dat ik me heb vergist
Het is gek, hij is weg Maar ik heb niets verloren Het is gek, hij is weg Maar de klok staat niet stil Het is gek, hij is weg 'k Zal z'n stem niet meer horen Het is gek, hij is weg Maar m'n hart is niet kil
Met wie ik hem zie, dat speelt voor mij geen rol meer Het is voorbij, het mag, elke dag Er was al niets meer tussen hem en mij Met wie ik hem zie, dat doet me nu niets meer want ik heb beslist Het mag, elke dag, want ik weet nu dat ik me heb vergist

Love On A Two-Way Street Composer(s): Sylvia Robinson - Bert Keyes First release by: The Moments - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
I found love on a two way street Lost it on a lonely highway Love on a two way street Lost it on a lonely highway
True love will never die So I've been told, but now I must cry It is finally goodbye, I know
With the music softly playing His lips were gently saying I love you
He held me in desperation I thought it was a revelation And then he walked out
How could I be so blind To give up love the very first time To be fooled is a hurting pain To be loved and fooled Is a crying shame While I bear the blame As he laughs my name
With the music softly playing His lips were gently saying Honey, I love you He held me in desperation I thought it was a revelation And then he walked out
I found love on a two way street Lost it on a lonely highway Love on a two way street Lost it on a lonely highway
I found love on a two way street Lost it on a lonely highway Love on a two way street Lost it on a lonely highway

Naar Canada ben ik gevaren Ik vond er een nieuwe tehuis Ik lig hier voldaan en tevreden En toch denk ik vaak nog aan huis Is 's avonds de stilte gekomen Dan gaan m'n gedachten en dromen
Naar het dorpje in de Kempen Tussen dennen, bos en hei Met z'n stille, goede mensen En z'n bloemen in de wei Met z'n oude kerketoren En z'n sprookjes rond de haard Gij, m'n dorpje in de Kempen Hebt m'n liefde goed bewaard
Wanneer ik vertel aan m'n kinderen Van 't dorpje in 't Kempense land Dan voel ik m'n stem wel eens beven En valt er een traan op m'n hand Dan groeit in ons allen begeren Om samen eens weder te keren
Naar het dorpje in de Kempen Tussen dennen, bos en hei Met z'n stille, goede mensen En z'n bloemen in de wei Met z'n oude kerketoren En z'n sprookjes rond de haard Gij, m'n dorpje in de Kempen Hebt m'n liefde goed bewaard Gij, m'n dorpje in de Kempen Hebt m'n liefde goed bewaard

Each time I look into your eyes I see that there, there heaven lies And as I look I see the love of the loved

Though I've said it all before I will say it more and more Now that I'm really sure you love me And I know that from today I'll see it in the way That you look at me and say, ah, you love me
So let it rain, I'll never care Deep in your heart, I'll still be there And when I'm there I see the love of the loved
