    Too High
    Composer(s): Paul Bollenback - Stevie Wonder
    First release: Stevie Wonder - 1973
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Dodo do do do dodo
    Do do dodo do dodo
    Dodo dodo do do

    Dodo do do do dodo
    Do do do do dodo do
    Dodo dodo dodo

    I'm too high
    I'm too high
    But I ain't touched the sky

    I'm too high
    I'm too high
    But I ain't touched the sky

    She's a girl in a dream
    She sees a four-eyed cartoon monster
    On the T.V. screen
    She takes another puff and says
    "It's a crazy scene"
    That red is green
    And she's a tangerine

    I'm too high
    I'm too high
    But I ain't left the ground

    I'm too high
    I'm too high
    I hope I never ever come down

    She's the girl in her life
    But her world's a superficial paradise
    She had a chance to make it big more than once or twice
    But no dice
    She wasn't very nice

    Ooh

    Dodo do do do dodo
    Do do dodo do dodo
    Do do do do do do

    Dodo do do do dodo
    Do do dodo do dodo
    Dodo dodo
    Dodo dodo
    Dodo dodo

    I'm too high
    I'm too high
    I'm so high
    I feel like I'm about to die

    I can't ever touch the sky

    I'm too high
    She's a girl of the past
    I guess that I got to her at last
    A did you hear the news about the girl today
    She passed away
    What did her friend say

    They said she's too high
    Too high
    Can't hang around anyway...

    Dodo do do do dodo
    Do do dodo do dodo
    do... do... do...
    do... do... do...
    do...

    I Just Called To Say I Love You
    Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
    First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1984
    Covered by multiple other artists

    Title In Other Languages:
    1984 - Je T’appelle Pour Te Dire Que Je T’aime
    1984 - Pour Te Dire Je T'aime
    1984 - Ik Bel Jou, M'n Schat, Ik Mis Je



    No New Year's Day to celebrate
    No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
    No first of spring, no song to sing
    In fact, here's just another ordinary day

    I just called to say I love you
    I just called to say how much I care
    I just called to say I love you
    And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

    No April rain, no flowers' bloom
    No wedding Saturday within the month of June
    But what it is is something true
    Made up of these three words that I must say to you

    No summer's high, no warm July
    No harvest moon to light one tender August night
    No autumn breeze, no falling leaves
    Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

    No Libra sun, no Hallowe'en
    No giving thanks for all the Christmas joy you bring
    But what it is, tho' old, so new
    To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

    Que veux-tu de moi?
    Que veux-tu?
    Judith
    Je n'aime que toi

    Dois-je en pleurer
    En rire
    Je ne saurais
    Le dire
    Toi qui te joues de moi
    Que ne me le dis-tu pas?
    En pleurer c'est
    De rage
    En rire c'est
    Dommage
    Je ne sais plus que faire
    Entre le ciel et l'enfer
    Judith
    C'est plus fort que moi
    Que veux-tu
    Judith
    Je n'aime que toi
    Le sais-tu?
    Mais si de guerre lasse
    Un jour je me lasse
    Judith
    Ce jour-là vois-tu
    Je te tue

    Hier tu m'embrasses
    Demain tu te lasses
    Judith
    Dis-le moi
    Que veux-tu?
    Hier tu m'embrasses
    Demain tu te lasses
    Mais moi
    C'est plus fort que moi
    Je n'aime
    Que

    Too Fat Polka
    ((English/German Version: Zu Fett Polka (James Last))
    Composer(s): Ross MacLean - Arthur Richardson
    Performer(s): Arthur Godfrey - 1947
    and multiple other artists



    Here's a silly ditty
    You can sing it right away
    Now, here is what you say
    So sing it while you may

    Here's a silly jingle
    You can sing it night or noon
    Here's the words, that's all you need
    'Cause I just sang the tune:

    Oh, I don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    I don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat
    She's too fat
    She's too fat for me

    I get dizzy
    I get numbo
    When I'm dancing
    With my Jum-Jum-Jumbo

    I don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    I don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat
    She's too fat
    She's too fat for me

    Can she prance up a hill?
    No, no, no, no, no
    Can she dance a quadrille?
    No, no, no, no, no
    Does she fit in your coupe?
    By herself she's a group
    Could she possibly
    Sit upon your knee?
    No, no, no

    We don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    And she's too fat for me
    But she's just right for me
    We don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    Yeah, she's too fat
    Much too fat
    But she's just right for me

    She's so charming
    And she's so winning
    But it's alarming
    When she goes in swimming

    We don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    But she's just right for me
    So I sure want her, you can't have her
    She's just right for me
    But she's too fat!
    She's not too fat!
    She's just right for me!

    She's a twosome
    She's a foursome
    If she'd lose some
    I would like her more some

    I don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    I don't want her you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat
    Much too fat
    She's too fat for me
    Hey!

    Je T’appelle Pour Te Dire Que Je T’aime - 1984 (aka Pour Te Dire Je T'aime - 1984)
    Adapted from: I Just Called To Say I Love You - 1984
    Dutch Title: Ik Bel Jou, M'n Schat, Ik Mis Je
    Composer(s): Didier Barbelivien; Stevie Wonder; Pierre Grosz
    Performer(s): Sacha Distel - 1984



    C'est pas Noël c'est pas le printemps
    Y'a pas de bougies, y'a pas de cadeaux sous les rubans
    Pas de nouvelle sensationnelle
    Aujourd'hui est un jour normal tout simplement
    Y'a pas d'amis qui se marient
    Pas de première, pas de soirée d'anniversaire
    Mais il fallait que je te dise
    Ces quelques mots qui chantent au plus profond de moi

    Je t'appelle pour dire que je t'aime
    Je voulais te dire simplement ça
    Je t'appelle pour dire que je t'aime
    Et je meurs ce soir de m'endormir sans toi

    Y'a pas d'étoiles sur l'océan
    De nuit d'été doucement caressée par le vent
    C'est pas l'automne quand on s'étonne
    D'un tourbillon d'oiseaux dans le soleil levant
    Pas de secret à t'annoncer
    Pas de surprise et pas de chœur dans une église
    Mais il fallait que je te dise
    Ces quelques mots qui chantent au plus profond de moi

    Je t'appelle pour dire que je t'aime
    Je voulais te dire simplement ça
    Je t'appelle pour dire que je t'aime
    Et je meurs ce soir de ne pas être avec toi
    Avec toi, avec toi

    Juca
    Performer(s): Chico Buarque



    Juca foi autuado em flagrante
    Como meliante
    Pois sambava bem diante
    Da janela de Maria
    Bem no meio da alegria
    A noite virou dia
    O seu luar de prata
    Virou chuva fria
    A sua serenata
    Não acordou Maria

    Juca ficou desapontado
    Declarou ao delegado
    Não saber se amor é crime
    Ou se samba é pecado
    Em legítima defesa
    Batucou assim na mesa
    O delegado é bamba
    Na delegacia
    Mas nunca fez samba
    Nunca viu Maria

    Performer(s): James Last



    Sie sieht neben mir aus oh oh oh oh oh
    Wie ein wandelndes Haus oh oh oh oh oh
    Steh' ich einmal hinter ihr
    Sieht man nichts mehr von mir
    Und für mein Gefühl ist mir das viel zu viel oh oh oh

    Kaum hat er sie geseh'n oh oh oh oh oh
    War es um ihn gescheh'n oh oh oh oh oh
    Ihre mächtige Forma fand er einfach enorm
    Und er bat galant mich um ihre Hand oh oh

    Drum nimm sie dir ich mag sie nicht
    Denn sie ist mir zu fett
    Sie ist mir zu fett
    Sie ist mir zu fett
    Drumm nimm sie dir
    Ich mag sie nicht
    Denn sie ist mir zu fett
    Viel zu fett viel zu fett sie ist mir zu fett
    Deine Liebe und dein Sehnen
    Und dein Herz schenk' dieser runden Schönen

    I Hung My Head
    Composer(s): Sting
    First release by: Sting - 1996
    Covered by:
    Blue Highway - 1999
    Johnny Cash - 2002



    Early one morning
    With time to kill
    I borrowed Jebb's rifle
    And sat on a hill
    I saw a lone rider
    Crossing the plain
    I drew a bead on him
    To practice my aim

    My brother's rifle
    Went of in my hand
    A shot rang out
    Across the land
    The horse, he kept running
    The rider was dead
    I hung my head
    I hung my head

    I set off running
    To wake from the dream
    My brother's rifle
    Went into the sheen
    I kept on running
    Into the south lands
    That's where they found me
    My head and my hands

    The sheriff he asked me
    Why had I run
    And then it came to me
    Just what I had done
    And all for no reason
    Just one peace of lead
    I hung my head
    I hung my head

    Here in the court house
    The whole town was there
    I see the judge
    High up in the chair
    Explain to the court room
    What went through you mind
    And we'll ask the jury
    What verdict they find

    I felt the power
    Of death over life
    I orphaned his children
    I widowed his wife
    I begged their forgiveness
    I wish I was dead
    I hung my head
    I hung my head

    I hung my head
    I hung my head

    Early one morning
    With time to kill
    I see the gallows
    Up on a hill
    And out in the distance
    A trick of the brain
    I see a lone rider
    Crossing the plain

    And he'd come to fetch me
    To see what they'd done
    And we'd ride together
    To kingdom come
    I prayed for god's mercy
    For soon I'd be dead
    I hung my head
    I hung my head

    I hung my head
    I hung my head

    Jubilation T. Cornpone
    Composer(s): Gene DePaul; Johnny Mercer
    Performer(s): Stubby Kaye;
    Elliot Lawrence; Shelly Manne



    When we fought the Yankees and annihilation was near
    Who was there to lead the charge that took us safe to the rear?
    Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
    Old "Toot your own horn - pone"
    Jubilation T. Cornpone, a man who knew no fear!

    When we almost had 'em but the issue still was in doubt
    Who suggested the retreat that turned it into a rout?
    Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
    Old "Tattered and torn - pone"
    Jubilation T. Cornpone, he kept us hidin' out!

    With our ammunition gone and faced with utter defeat
    Who was it that burned the crops and left us nothing to eat?
    Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
    Old "September Morn - pone"
    Jubilation T. Cornpone, the pants blown off his seat!

    Hurray!

    When it seemed like our brave boys would keep on fighting for months
    Who took pity on them and ca-pit-u-lated at once?
    Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone; Unshaven and shorn - pone
    Jubilation T. Cornpone, he weren't nobody's dunce!

    Who went re-con-noiter-ing to flank the enemy's rear
    Circled through the piney woods, and disappeared for a year?
    Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
    Old "Treat 'em with scorn - pone"
    Jubilation T. Cornpone, the missing mountaineer!

    Who became so famous with a reputation so great
    That he ran for president and didn't carry a state?
    Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
    Old "Wouldn't be sworn - pone"
    Jubilation T. Cornpone, he made the country wait!

    Stonewall Jackson got his name by standing firm in the fray
    Who was known to all his men as good ol' "Paper Mache?"
    Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone

    Too Dumb For New York City
    Composer(s): Waylon Jennings - Basil McDavid
    Performer(s): Waylon Jennings



    When I first saw New York city
    I was green down to the core
    You could see my red neck glowing
    For a mile or maybe more

    Between the hustlers and the hookers
    I must have made their day
    'Cause they peeled me like an apple, Lawd
    And sent me on my way

    When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged
    It ain't no place to be
    So I came to one conclusion
    New York ain't for me

    From sea to shining sea
    And coast to coast
    Somewhere in the middle
    Is the land I love the most
    I ain't California pretty
    I can't survive the Great White Way
    I'm too dumb for New York city
    And too ugly for L.A.

    I made my way to Tinseltown
    To Hollywood and Vine
    Out among those pretty faces
    I'd surely find a place for mine

    The way I walk, the way I talk
    They'll hang on every word
    But don't call me, I'll call you
    Was all I ever heard

    In L.A. what they're thinking
    Ain't what they talk about
    At least in New York city
    There's never any doubt

    From sea to shining sea
    And coast to coast
    Somewhere in the middle
    Is the land I love the most
    I ain't California pretty
    I can't survive the Great White Way
    I'm too dumb for New York city
    And too ugly for L.A.

    I'm too dumb for New York city
    And too ugly for L.A.

    I Hope You'll Stay
    Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan



    I hope you'll stay and have a cup of tea
    Oh I hope you'll play my monopoly
    And I hope you'll do what the others do
    You say you'd love me to
    Make that cup of tea like I said I would
    Make that cup of tea like I know I should
    And not to think what the others think
    So that when you say you like me
    I'll be so overjoyed
    I'll take the unemployed
    I'll give them all a job
    They sure could use one, my God!
    Isn't it funny, no
    A million out of work is really so good for nothing
    When you think that there should be jobs by the dozen
    But as often is the case
    Nothing ever seems to take place
    And not to think what the others think
    So that when I say I like you
    You'll say you like me too
    You'll say you like me tooaa
    That's all

    Juanita
    Composer(s): Gram Parsons; Chris Hillman
    Performer(s): The Flying Burrito Brothers



    No affection were the words
    That stuck on my mind
    When she walked out on me
    For the very last time
    Oh, mama, sweet mama
    Can you tell me what to say
    I don't know what I've done
    To be treated this way

    In a cold dirty room
    That's where I found myself
    With a bottle of wine
    And some pills on the shelf
    Oh, mama, sweet mama
    Can you tell me what to say
    I don't know what I've done
    And I'm feeling so ashamed

    Then an angel appeared
    She was just seventeen
    In a dirty old gown
    With a conscience so clean
    Oh, mama, sweet mama
    Can you tell me what to say
    She's brought back the life
    That I once threw away
    She's brought back the life
    That I once threw away

    Composer(s): C.W. Kalb Jr. - Glenn Fortner
    Performer(s): Ray Stevens



    Recitation
    Now me and Harold this buddy of mine decided that we'd go fishin' one time
    So we drove to the lake with my brand new bass boat
    I brought the fishin' poles the pork and beans
    The saltine crackers and the canned sardines, and Harold brought all the booze one man could tote
    While I loaded the boat and filled the tank and tried to get that motor to crank
    Harold just sat there sippin' on a longneck beer
    While I was steerin' the boat and tyin' the plugs he was drinkin' moonshine straight from the jug
    and he was singing "Melancholy Baby" when we left the pier, huh, huh...

    Oh, never go fishin' with a man who has been drinkin'
    'Cause things just might not work out like you'd wish
    Just leave that fool at home to drink
    He'll be just as happy fishin' in the kitchen sink
    Don't go near the water with a man too drunk to fish

    Recitation
    Well, I was concentratin', perfectin' my cast, hopin' to land a trophy bass
    and Harold was havin' trouble tryin' to find the lake
    Layin' there beside him at his feet was an anchor line coiled up real neat
    Harold saw it went white as a ghost and hollered "Snake!!!!!!"
    Well, he jumped straight up and began to yell
    I said "Sit down Harold and behave yourself
    Can't you see that ain't nothin' but a piece of rope"
    Ha, ha...
    Well, he was scared to death, plumb out of his mind tryin' not to get bit by that anchor line
    and he grabbed my shotgun blew a hole in the bottom of the boat...
    (Blam!!! Harold!!! Glup... glub... glub)

    Never go fishin' with a man who has been drinkin'
    'Cause things just might not work out like you'd wish
    Just leave that fool at home to drink
    He'll be just as happy fishin' in the kitchen sink
    Don't go near the water with a man too drunk to fish

    Recitation
    Now too drunk to fish is too drunk to swim
    So I was dog paddlin' and draggin' him and finally made it to a little sand bar just big enough for two
    It was way after dark when that helicopter came with that big searchlight and callin' our names
    And Harold looked up to the sky and said, "Lord is that you?"

    Slowly
    And then he knelt there in that heavenly glow and said
    "Lord you know I ain't ready to go so if you pass me by tonight, oh... I will reform"
    Then they threw down a raft and I paddled us home he never touched a drop from that moment on
    Ya know the Lord works in mysterious ways his miracles to perform

    Never go fishin' with a man who has been drinkin'
    'Cause things just might not work out like you'd wish
    Just leave that fool at home to drink
    He'll be just as happy fishin' in the kitchen sink
    Don't go near the water with a man too drunk to fish
    Don't go near the water with a man too drunk to fish...

    I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You
    Composer(s): Tom Waits
    First release by: Tom Waits - 1973
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you
    'Cause falling in love just makes me blue
    Well the music plays and you display your heart for me to see
    I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me
    And I hope that I don't fall in love with you

    Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
    And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
    Well if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it
    Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it
    And I hope that I don't fall in love with you

    Well the night does funny things inside a man
    These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand
    Well I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette
    I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met
    And I hope that I don't fall in love with you

    I can see that you are lonesome just like me, and it being late
    You'd like some some company
    Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me
    The guy you're with has up and split, the chair next to you's free
    And I hope that you don't fall in love with me

    Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
    Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout
    Well I turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found
    I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round
    And I think that I just fell in love with you

    Juanita
    Composer(s): Björn Afzelius
    Performer(s): Hoola Bandoola Band



    Juanita, hon var vacker som en gryning
    När de möttes i Madrid för längesen
    Och han var ung, han var en av många hundra
    Som rest ner för att slåss för friheten
    Och Juanita, hon var med de vid fronten
    Och hennes glöd gav de andra kraft och mod
    Och om kvällen sjöng hon sånger till gitarren
    Om folket och den framtid
    Som hon var beredd att försvara med sitt blod

    Juanita, han ska alltid komma ´håg dig
    För hans inre ska du alltid finnas kvar
    Juanita, fast han aldrig kunde få dig
    Kan han minnas hur stark och fin du var

    Men de förlora', för fascisterna var starka
    Och han for hem, med bara bitterheten kvar
    Och Juanita måste gömma sig i bergen
    Och fast han skrev så fick han aldrig några svar
    Men åren gick, och också hjältar blir gamla
    Och de får hoppas att de yngre vill ta vid
    Han blev gift, och fick söner och döttrar
    Och hans tid med Juanita
    Blev liksom en drömbild från ett annat liv

    Juanita, han ska alltid komma ´håg dig
    För hans inre ska du alltid finnas kvar
    Juanita, fast han aldrig kunde få dig
    Kan han minnas hur stark och fin du var

    Hans båda söner var i Spanien förra sommar'n
    Och semestra´ på ett nybyggt lyxhotell
    De hade träffat en gammal gumma ner vid stranden
    När de gick ut för att festa sent en kväll
    De hade pratat och berättat vad de hette
    Och om sin far som en gång varit i Madrid
    Då steg hon upp och sa: "Honom har jag älskat!
    Men här springer ni och göder nåt
    Han har bekämpat med risk för eget liv!

    Så ge er av! Jag är trött på era svängar!
    För ni fördröjer bara frihetens stund
    Och ni borde veta, att turisternas pengar
    Är som honung i förtryckarnas mun!"

    Juanita, han ska alltid komma ´håg dig
    För hans inre ska du alltid finnas kvar
    Juanita, fast han aldrig kunde få dig
    Kan han minnas hur stark och fin du var

    I Honestly Love You Composer(s): Peter Allen - Jeff Barry First release by: Peter Allen - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists



    Maybe I hang around here a little more than I should We both know I've got somewhere else to go But I got somethin' to tell you that I never thought I would That I believe you really ought to know I love you, I honestly love you You don't have to answer, I see it in your eyes Maybe it was better left unsaid But this is pure and simple and you must realize That it's comin' from my heart and not my head I love you, I honestly love you I'm not tryin' to make you feel uncomfortable I'm not tryin' to make you anything at all But this feelin' doesn't come along ev'ry day And you shouldn't blow the chance when you've got the chance to say I love you, I love you, I honestly love you If we both were born in another place and time This moment might be ending in a kiss But there you are with yours and here I am with mine So I guess we'll just be leavin' it at this I love you, I honestly love you, I honestly love you



    Maybe I hang around here
    A little more than I should
    We both know I got somewhere else to go
    But I got something to tell you
    That I never thought I would
    But I believe you really ought to know

    I love you
    I honestly love you

    You don't have to answer
    I see it in your eyes
    Maybe it was better left unsaid
    This is pure and simple
    And you should realize
    That it's coming from my heart and not my head

    I love you
    I honestly love you

    I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
    I'm not trying to make you anything at all
    But this feeling doesn't come along everyday
    And you shouldn't blow the chance
    When you've got the chance to say

    I love you
    I honestly love you

    If we both were born
    In another place and time
    This moment might be ending in a kiss
    But there you are with yours
    And here I am with mine
    So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this

    I love you
    I honestly love you
    I honestly love you

    Juan Y Maria
    Composer(s): Chico Buarque
    Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



    Ahora yo era el héroe
    y mi caballo sólo hablaba ingles
    La novia del cowboy
    eras tú, aparte de otras tres
    Yo enfrentaba un batallón
    un alemán y su cañon
    Guardaba mis bolitas
    y ensayaba un rock
    para las matinés

    Ahora yo era un rey
    un alguacíl y era tambien un juez
    y por mi propia ley
    la gente era obligada a ser feliz
    También tu eras princesa que hice coronar
    Eras tan linda, digna de admirar
    que ibas desnuda por todo el país

    No, no huyas, no
    Finge que ahora yo era tu jugete
    Yo era tuyo, yo, tu bicho preferido
    Ven, dame una mano
    sueña que ahora no teniamos miedo
    En la epoca de la maldad
    creo que nosotros ni habíamos nacido

    Ahora era fatal
    que el haz de cuenta
    terminará asi
    Fuera de este jardín
    era una noche que no tiene fin
    pues te fuiste de mi vida
    asi, sin avisar
    y ahora yo era un loco al preguntar
    que es lo que el mundo
    va a hacer de mi

    Too Close For Comfort
    Composer(s): Jerry Bock - Larry Holofcener - George David Weiss
    Performer(s): Mel Tormé



    Be wise, be fair, be sure, be there, behave, beware

    Be wise, be smart, behave my heart
    Don’t upset your cart when she’s so close

    Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
    Don’t go off your feet
    She’s too close for comfort
    Too close, too close for comfort, no, not again
    Too close, too close to know just when to say when

    Be firm and be fair, be sure, beware
    On your guard, take care
    When there’s such temptation
    One thing leads to another
    Too late to run for cover
    She’s much too close for comfort…

    Doo-ba-um-doody-doo-ba, doo-doo-doo...

    Be wise, be fair, be sure, beware

    Put on your old thinking cap, boy
    ‘Cause if you don’t look out, you
    Will find that you are much too
    Too close for comfort

    Go ahead, and for a mishap, boy
    The first thing that you know she
    Will have you up that old tree
    She’s too close for comfort

    Too close, too close, ah, too close

    Ba-doo-da...

    Be firm and be fair, be absolutely sure, beware
    On your guard, take care
    When there is such temptation
    One thing leads to another
    Too late to run for cover
    She’s much too close for comfort now

    One thing leads to another
    Too late to run for cover
    She’s much too close for comfort now

    One thing leads to another
    Too late to run for mother
    She’s much too close for comfort now

    Be wise, be fair, be sure, be there, behave, beware
    She’s too close, too close, for comfort now

    and multiple other artists



    I hold you hand in mine dear I press it to my lips
    I take a healthy bite from your dainty fingertips
    My joy would be complete dear
    If you were only here
    But still I keep your hand as a precious souvenir

    The night you died I cut it off I really don't know why
    For now each time I kiss it I get bloodstains on my tie
    I'm sorry now I killed you for our love was something fine
    Until they come to get me I shall hold your hand in mine
