Tears In Heaven Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Will Jennings First release by: Eric Clapton - 1991 Covered by multiple other artists
Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven I must be strong, and carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven
Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven I'll find my way, through night and day 'Cause I know I just can't stay Here in heaven
Time can bring you down Time can bend your knee Time can break your heart Have you begging please Begging please
Beyond the door There's peace I'm sure And I know there'll be no more... Tears in heaven
Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven I must be strong, and carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven
My Filipino Rose Composer(s): Hank Snow Performer(s): Hank Snow; Ernest Tubb
The postman dropped a letter at my door The address wasnt plain but I could see It had traveled far across the great Pacific From My Filipino Rose across the sea
But Im still praying that the trade wind sends you sailing across the blue In my harbor of dreams youll anchor, where your lonely Filipino waits for you
The writing from her trembling hands was blurred The paper it was sadly stained with tears It read, they tell me you have wed another After I have longed and waited all these years
But Im still praying that the trade wind sends you sailing across the blue In my harbor of dreams youll anchor, where your lonely Filipino waits for you
I promised her that Id return someday I told her she had won my heart and hand I told her a line cause I was lonely Far from home a stranger in a foreign land
But Im still praying that the trade wind sends you sailing across the blue In my harbor of dreams youll anchor, where your lonely Filipino waits for you
She wrote, Ive watched the driftwood float on by Ive watched the sea roll on its weary way I have watched the silver sails out on the ocean Hoping you might return to me someday
But Im still praying that the trade wind sends you sailing across the blues In my harbor of dreams youll anchor, where your lonely Filipino waits for you
The chains of my love may never set you free But thru the years as memories fonder grow This broken heart will always wait for you, dear It was signed your lonely Filipino Rose
But Im still praying that the trade wind sends you sailing across the blue In my harbor of dreams youll anchor, where you Filipino waits for you
Goodbat Nightman Composer(s): John Gorman; Roger McGough; Mike McGear Performer(s): The Scaffold
God bless all policemen and fighters of crime May thieves go to jail for a very long time They've had a hard day helping clean up the town Now they hang from the mantle piece, both upside down A glass of warm blood and then straight up the stairs Batman and Robin are saying their prayers
Batman & Robin: God bless Superman and Superwoman! Aquaman and Aquawoman! Ironman and Ironwoman! Spiderman and Spiderwoman! Plasticman and Plasticwoman! Crazyman an-
Robin: B-b-Batman
Batman: Yes Robin
Robin: W-w-was there ever a Batwoman?
Batman: There was once, Boy Wonder, a long time back
Robin: Where is she now?
Batman: I'm afraid she's no longer with us
Robin: Oh, you mean...?
Batman: Yes, she's in the great belfry up there in the sky
Robin: Holy Saint Batwoman, what happened?
Batman: She rather foolishly got in the way of the batmobile
Robin: Suicide?
Batman: Batricide!
Robin: Gosh, why didn't I think of that
They've locked all the doors and they've put out the bat (Meouw!) Put on the batjamas (We like doing that!) Filled the batwater-bottles, made the batbeds With two springy batrasses for sleepy batheads They're closing red eyes and they're counting black sheep Batman and Robin are falling asleep

Filipino Baby Composer(s): Billy Cox; Clark Van Ness; Ernest Tubb Performer(s): Ernest Tubb and various other artists
When the warships left Manila, sailing proudly over the sea All, the sailors hearts were filled with found regret Looking backward to this island where they spent such happy hours Making love to ever pretty girl they met
Then up step a little sailor with his bright eyes all aglow Saying, take a look at my gals photograph Then the sailors gathered around him Just to look upon her face And he said I love my Filipino Baby
Shes my Filipino Baby Shes my treasure and my pet Her teeth are bright and pearly And her hair is black as jet O her lips are sweet as honey And her heart is true I know Shes my darling little Filipino Baby
In a little rustic cottage in the far off Philippines Dwells a lonely little maiden all alone She is thinking of her true love, though he is far across the sea And her heart beats true for him and him alone
Then one day he whispered "Darlin Ive come back from Caroline" "Ive come back to claim the only girl I love" Then that night there was a wedding while the ships crew gathered round And he wed his little Filipino Baby
Shes my Filipino Baby Shes my treasure and my pet Her teeth are bright and pearly And her hair is black as jet O her lips are sweet as honey And her heart is true I know Shes my darling little Filipino Baby

Tears And Roses Composer(s): Hank Hunter - Dick Heard Performer(s): Al Martino; George Morgan
Tears and roses, tears and roses Remind me that we're through but I'm still in love with you (Tears and roses, tears and roses)
Today I passed a flower shop and in the window there Were dozens of red roses like the ones you used to wear I walked on by and when I saw a little baby cry I thought about the tears that fell the day you said "Goodbye"
Tears and roses, tears and roses Remind me that we're through but I'm still in love with you (Tears and roses, tears and roses)
I think about the good old days when we were so in love And I was still the only one that you were dreamin' of I'd send a million roses and my tears would fill the sea If all those tears and roses could bring you back to me
Tears and roses, tears and roses Remind me that we're through but I'm still in love with you Remind me that we're through but I'm still in love with you (Tears and roses, tears and roses)

Tears Performer(s): Sam Ash; Rudy Vallee; Ken Dodd
Tears for souvenirs are all you've left me Memories of a love you never meant I just can't believe you could forget me After all those happy hours we spent together

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things When the dog bites, when the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel so bad

En hier dames en heren, hier komt een liefdesgeschiedenis uit Den Haag, getiteld "Tearoom Tango"
Toen ik jou de roze tearoom langzaam binnenschrijden zag Met je kaalgesleten bontjas en je arrogante lach Een afschuwelijk beeld van honger en ellende Vroeg ik me af hoe ik jou in 's hemelsnaam herkende Maar toen iedereen jou nakeek met die blik van oh-la-la Dat moet vroeger iets geweest zijn van comme ça en ga maar na En de ober zelfs een buiging voor je maakte Toen voelde ik dat mijn verbittering ontwaakte En terwijl je stilstond bij 't gebak Was ik de jongen weer wiens jongenshartje brak
Je hebt me belazerd, je hebt me bedonderd En wat me nu na al die jaren nog verwondert Dat ik dat nooit vergeten zal al word ik honderd Je hebt me belazerd, je hebt me bedonderd
't Zal zo'n dertig jaar geleden zijn dat ik jou stil aanbad En in deze zelfde tearoom steeds op jou te wachten zat En wanneer je dan na uren was gekomen Noemde 'k jou de schone diva van m'n dromen Na een jaar geheime liefde zei 'k nog steeds eerbiedig "u" En ik mocht je af en toe eens kussen achter 't menu Verder mocht ik niks 't was verdomd een schijntje Je hield me steeds met je belofte aan 't lijntje Tot ik plotseling ontdekte dat Jij wel twintig and're tearoom-lovers had
Je hebt me belazerd, je hebt me bedonderd En wat me nu na al die jaren nog verwondert Dat ik dat nooit vergeten zal al word ik honderd Je hebt me belazerd, je hebt me bedonderd
En nu zit je aan een tafeltje en vraagt me "mag ik thee" En je attakeert m'n taartjes en wat kijk je weer gedwee En je fluistert "jongen, haal me uit de nesten Want het is of heel de wereld me wil pesten" Je bent veel te dik gepoeierd en de mot zit in je hoed En ik zie ook dat je huilt zoals een slecht actrice doet Je pikt weer een sigaret en vraagt een vuurtje En je zegt achter je zevende likeurtje "Ach, je weet dat ik jou de liefste vond Geef me wat geld, boy, want ik zit vreselijk aan de grond" Dan zeg ik: "zit jij aan de grond?"
Da's heel belazerd, da's reuze bedonderd Dat ik de liefste was is iets dat mij verwondert Vraag het die anderen maar, je had 'r minstens honderd Ober, ober, goedemiddag Deze dame hier, ober, wou even alles afrekenen Ja, 'k ben belazerd

Each time I call you up, you're always free You break the dates you've got just to be with me Gee whiz, that's not the way it is But that's my favorite dream

Gee whiz, that's not the way it is But that's my favorite dream

Teardrops Will Fall Composer(s): Dickey Doo - Marion Smith First release by: Dickey Doo & The Don'ts - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists
I read your letter and tears filled my eyes All of your promises fading, was nothing but lies So I turned your photograph over, face to the wall And when I dim the lights in my room tonight Teardrops will fall
Teardrops will fall tonight Tears I can't hide Tears that I tried to keep Deep down inside Tears fall, a love that's gone Beyond recall And when I dim the lights in my room tonight Teardrops will fall
I'm gonna pray tonight, baby Hoping you will hear Maybe you'll right the wrong, now And dry each tear I'll sit alone tonight hoping you will call And when I dim the lights in my room tonight Teardrops will fall
My Father's Eyes Composer(s): Livingston Taylor Performer(s): Livingston Taylor
My father stands before me In a place that's his alone I'm guided to the future I have the world to own I stand up and I'm counted A thousand miles from home Why can I see forever In my father's eyes?
My father sits before me His hands upon his chin His fingers touch his lips Until my story ends. Patiently we get it straight The whos, the whens, the whys... Truth ever protected In my father's eyes
My father's eyes... My father's hands... Oh, Daddy quickly pick me up When will I be a man? When will I live long enough To make somebody fly? When will the mirror show me My father's eyes?
My father's resting in a chair In a long, cold Winter sun He falls into a restless sleep Still itching for the run The arms are thin And the movement slow But there'll be one more try Strength has another measure In my father's eyes
My father's eyes My father's hands Oh, Daddy quickly pick me up When will I be a man? When will I live long enough To make somebody fly? When will the mirror show me My father's eyes?
