I'd Climb The Highest Mountain Composer(s): Lew Brown; Sidney Clare Performer(s): Al Jolson and multiple other artists
I'd climb the highest mountain If I knew that when I climbed that mountain I'd find you I'd swim the deepest river If I knew that when I swam that river I'd find you
Without you dear, my life means nothing to me No matter where you are That's where I want to be I'd pray to get to heaven `Cause I know that if I got to heaven I'd find you
Honey child, I'd climb the highest mountain That is, if I knew, when I got to the top That I'd find you, sittin' there I'd even swim the deepest river If I knew that when I swam that river You'd be waiting on the other side
You see, without you, honey My life don't mean nothin' to me And no matter where you are Honey child, that's just where I wanna be I'd pray to get to heaven `Cause I know that if I got to heaven I'd find you
Oh, m'n kindertijd Kijk niet naar mij met zulke bange ogen Je stuurde me zelf de wereld in En ik weet ook niet hoe het komt Dat duizend en een dingen Zelfs nu nog steeds niet mogen
Heus ik voel mee met jouw machtsfantasieën Je trappelende ongeduld Maar ik ben nog nauwelijks op weg Er moet nog veel gebeuren En we zijn het eens Een kinderhand is niet gauw gevuld
Oh, m'n kindertijd Kijk niet naar mij met zulke bange ogen We kregen de wereld nog niet klein Omdat ik nog groeide en even vergat Dat wat jij van mij verwachtte Altijd zwaarder heeft gewogen
Ein kleines Kompliment Hört jede Frau so gern Es ist für sie das Schönste Was es gibt auf uns'rem Stern Ein kleines Kompliment Ist mehr als Schmuck und Nerz Es ist der gold'ne Schlüssel Für ihr Herz Immer wieder möchte sie es von dir hören Diesen kleinen Wunsch sollst du ihr nie verwehren Wie schön wird's für dich sein Wenn selig sie bekennt An unserm Glück war schuld Ein kleines Kompilment
Nichts so labil wie der Geschmack von einer Frau Das weiss ein Mann ganz genau Eines aber gibt's was ihr zu jeder Zeit gefällt Gleich wo sie auch lebt auf dieser Welt
A Legend In My Time ((aka (I'd Be) A Legend in My Time (by Frank Ifield) - 1963))
Composer(s): Don Gibson
First release by: Don Gibson - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists
If heartaches brought fame
In love's crazy game
I'd be a legend in my time
If they gave gold statuettes
For tears and regrets
I'd be a legend in my time
But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken
Over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim
Everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken
Over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim
Then everyone would knoow my name
I'd be a legend in my tiime
I'd be a legend in my tiime
Two Of A Kind Composer(s): Bob Montgomery - Earl Sinks Performer(s): Sue Thompson and multiple other artists
They say we're searching for love we'll never find They say we're foolish kids, we're two of a kind We know we've found our love when your lips meet mine That's when we know they're right, we're two of a kind No matter what they say when it's all said and done And we are old enough, we two will be one. And when we pass them by with your hand in mine Then they'll just smile and say "they're two of a kind" No matter what they say when it's all said and done And we are old enough, we two will be one. And when we pass them by with your hand in mine Then they'll just smile and say "they're two of a kind"

Du gingst von mir fort - ich werde warten Du gabst mir dein wort - ich werde warten
Weil erst mit dir dieses leben begann Ich hab gesehn dal3 es herrlich sein kann Alles was war, war für mich wunderschön Ich kann die welt ohne dich nicht verstehn
Alles was kommt das ist sinnlos fur mich Denn ich bin arm ich bin arm ohne dich Ich will verzeihn das verspreche ich dir Komm doch zurück bleib fur immer bei mir
Du gingst von mir fort - ich werde warten Du gabst mir dein wort - ich werde warten Denn du, du nur allein du bist mein sonnenschein

Ich Weiss, Es Wird Einmail Ein Wunder Gescheh'n Composer(s): Bruno Balz; Michael Jary Performer(s): Zarah Leander
Ich weiss, es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehn und dann werden tausend Märchen wahr Ich weiss, so schnell kann keine Liebe vergehn die so gross ist und so wunderbar
Wir haben beide denselben Stern und dein Schicksal ist auch meins Du bist mir fern und doch nicht fern denn unsere Seelen sind eins
Und darum wird einmal ein Wunder geschehn und ich weiss, dass wir uns wiedersehn!
Wenn ich ohne Hoffnung leben müste wenn ich glauben müste, dass mich niemand liebt dass es nie für mich ein Glück mehr gibt ach, das wär' schwer Wenn ich nicht in meinem Herzen wüste dass du einmal zu mir sagst: Ich liebe dich wär' das Leben ohne Sinn für mich doch ich weiss mehr
Ich weiss, es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehn...
Keinem ist mein Herz so gut gewesen wie dem Einem, der mich jetzt verlassen hat der für mich nicht einen Gruss mehr hat der mich vergass Könnt' er jetzt in meinen Augen lesen was ich fühle, dann würd' alles anders sein Ewig kann doch nicht verloren sein was ich besass
King Creole From the film "King Creole" Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller Performer(s): Elvis Presley & The Jordanaires; and various other artists
(King Creole.............Go!)
There's a man in New Orleans who plays a-rock and roll He's a guitar man with a great big soul He lays down a beat like a ton of coal He goes by the name of King Creole
You know he's gone, gone, gone Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah You know he's gone, gone, gone That-a hip shakin' King Creole (King Creole, King Creole)
When the King starts to do it, it's as good as done He holds his guitar like a tommy gun He starts to growl from way down his throat He bends a string and that's all she wrote
You know he's gone, gone, gone Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah You know he's gone, gone, gone That-a hip shakin' King Creole (King Creole, King Creole)
He sings a song about a crawdad hole He sings a song about a jelly roll He sings a song about pork and greens He wails some blues 'bout New Orleans
You know he's gone, gone, gone Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole You know he's gone, gone, gone That-a hip shakin' King Creole (King Creole, King Creole)
(Instrumental Break)
(Yeah!) He plays somethin' evil, then he plays somethin' sweet No matter what he plays, you got to get up on your feet And when he gets the rockin fever, baby, heaven sakes He don't stop playin' till his guitar breaks
You know he's gone, gone, gone Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah You know he's gone, gone, gone That-a hip shakin' king creole (King Creole, yeah go!) You know he's gone, gone, gone Hip shakin' King Creole (Creole, Creole, Creole, Creole)
Two Loves Have I ((Adapted from: J'ai Deux Amours (Joséphine Baker) - 1931))
Composer(s): Georges Koger - Henri Varna - Vincent Scotto - Jack Murray - Barry Trivers
Performer(s): Perry Como - 1947
and multiple other artists
Two loves have I and they tear me apart
Two loves have I, both are in my heart
One is a flower and the other a flame
Two loves have I, but they're not the same
When I'm in a gay mood, 'tis then my light love I crave
Then again at times my other love can make me a slave
I can't deny that to both I am true
Two loves have I, both of them are you
I can't deny that to both I am true
Two loves have I, both of them are you
Ich Suchte Liebe Bei Dir Composer(s): J. Heider; J. Relin Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Ich suchte Liebe bei dir Ich suchte Sonne und Licht Doch ich bin einsam und frier Was mir so fehlt, fand ich nicht
Wege die nirgendwo enden hast du mir gezeigt Hast du ein Märchen für uns beide erzählt Ganz wunderschön ist doch die Wahrheit verschweigt Nur Fragen stehen hier vor mir, hier vor mir
Ich wollte einmal nur seh'n Das du die Wunder verstehst Die nur aus Liebe gescheh'n Du drehst dich um und gehst
Wege die nirgendwo enden hast du mir gezeigt Hast du ein Märchen für uns beide erzählt Ganz wunderschön ist doch die Wahrheit verschweigt Nur Fragen stehen hier vor mir, hier vor mir
Ich suchte Liebe bei dir Ich suchte Sonne und Licht Doch ich bin einsam und frier Was mir so fehlt, fand ich nicht ...
King For A Day Composer(s): Tom Bailey; Alannah Currie; Joe Leeway Performer(s): The Thompson Twins
If I was king for just one day I would give it all away for loving you
I know you well And I can tell Something's on your mind 'Cos in your dreams The demon screams And I know he's going to hurt you blind
Some people hunger spend a fortune all their lives The saddest fools in paradise
If I was king for just one day I would give it all away I would give it all away for loving you If I was king for just one day
Diamond rings And all those things They never sparkle like your smile And as for fame It's just a name That only satisfies you for a while
I've heard it said Or maybe read Only money makes the world go 'round But all the gold Won't heal your soul If your world should tumble to the ground
So listen, Love is all, love is all, love is all we need Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah Love is all, love is all, love is all we need Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah
If I was king for just one day I would give it all away I would give it all away for loving you If I was king for just one day
If I was king for just one day I would give it all away I would give it all away for loving you If I was king for just one day
If I was King For just one day For just one thing to say Love...

Watching The Clouds Roll By From the Broadway Show "Animal Crackers" (1928) Composer(s): Bert Kalmar; Harry Ruby Performer(s): Bernice Ackerman & Milton Watson
Milton: Nearly ev'ry new day for me was a blue day My life was just one blue Monday How the days would drag on, if they had no tag on I couldn't tell which was Sunday
I kept my eyes on the horizon But only clouds were there Nothing could move them or improve them Nobody seemed to care
Suddenly you stepped in And happiness crept in And ev'rything changed in one day Now you and I can clear the sky.....
Looking for the sun Two loving hearts are better than one We'll have lots of fun Watching the clouds roll by
Cares don't mean a thing Whether it's Winter, whether it's Spring While two hearts can sing Watching the clouds roll by
We'll be as near as love birds As any two And, dear, if we're like love birds What are a few April showers
When it's dark or fair What does it matter, what do we care If we both are there Watching the clouds roll by
Bernice: Life for me was boredom, each hour was more dumb Than ev'ry one that preceded Time would slowly tick off, I wanted to kick off The hours could not be speeded
I counted all days, Spring and Fall days Just like so many sheep Even the night through, I'd go right through Counting them in my sleep
Suddenly I woke up And all the clouds broke up For you were all that I needed My clouds I find are silver lined
Looking for the sun Two loving hearts are better than one We'll have lots of fun Watching the clouds roll by
Cares don't mean a thing Whether it's Winter, whether it's Spring While two hearts can sing Watching the clouds roll by
We'll be as near as love birds As any two And, dear, if we're like love birds What are a few April showers
When it's dark or fair What does it matter, what do we care If we both are there Watching the clouds roll by
King George Street Composer(s): Chris Difford; Glenn Tilbrook Performer(s): Squeeze
She left in the middle of the night with the kids Wrapped in a blanket with a packet of crisps Heading for her mother's on another estate The kids looked up at the light and the rain In the middle of the night Such adventures made For two little kids Staying up late It was rainy and windy As winter was bleak At four in the morning on King George Street
She couldn't get to sleep, where on earth had he gone? The door opened wide and the light went on He was drunk as a lord with a tyre marked hat Falling in the hall on top of the cat Singing viva espana To a crying wife He took a swing at the shade On the light They were knocking on the door Dressed like refugees In the pouring rain on King George Street
She won't have that behavior In her house anymore He's got to sober up or get kicked out of the door Down on the corner, the kids at his feet As Daddy comes home on King George Street As Daddy comes home
They stood around the kettle and watched as it brewed Sneezing into hankies hands all blue The next evening he came around to the house With a bunch of flowers; they locked him out He peered through the window Mouthed words in the air Her lips to a cup She saw him out there The kids came running But were they happy to see Their Daddy back home on King George Street Their Daddy back home on King George Street
Strolling so happy down Bethnal Green This gay youth you might have seen Tompkins and I, with his girl between Oh! what a surprise! I prais'd the Conservatives frank and free Tompkins got angry so speedilee All in a moment he handed to me Two lovely black eyes!
Next time, I argued I thought it best To give the conservative side a rest The merits of Glad-stone I freely pressed When Oh! what a surprise! The chap I had met was a Tory true Nothing the Liberals right could do This was my share of that argument too Two lovely black eyes!
The moral you've caught I can hardly doubt Never on politics rave and shout Leave it to others to fight it out, if You would be wise Better, far better, it is to let Lib'rals and Tories alone, you bet Unless you're willing and anxious to get Two lovely black eyes!
Two lovely black eyes! Oh! what a surprise! Only for telling a man he was wrong Two lovely black eyes!
