If I Ever Make You Cry Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
If I ever make you cry Long as I live, may my eyes never smile again If I ever make you cry All through my life May my lips never laugh again And if you should find that I Have been untrue, may I never spend a happy day And may I never hear, somebody say Tender word (like I love you) A tender voice (say I need you) I make a vow, right here and now That I will live To love you
If I ever make you cry Long as I live, may the world turn away from me If I ever make you cry - even once All through my life, may my dreams never come to be And if I should ever Ever Break your heart May I never, see the sun appear And may I go through life, and never hear ah! Tender voice, (say I love you), your precious voice Say I need you Come to my arms, my waiting arms, and softly say You love Me!
Katy Did, Katy Didn't From the film "Mr. Bug Goes To Town" Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael; Frank Loesser Performer(s: George Formby; The Four Marshals, Stan Freed & Pauline Loth
There's a burning, burning question
concerning Katy Brown And there's a bit of a suggestion
on the way they talk in town
Who came to Sunday school with cherries on her lids Katy did, (Katy didn't,) Katy did, (Katy didn't) Katy did, (Katy didn't), Oh, she did
And who kissed the banker's boy and ran away and hid Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't) Katy did, (Katy didn't), Oh, she did
Gracious what a scandal, every other girl would cry She can't hold a candle to somebody such as I
But who got the banker's boy and fifty thousand quid Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't) You can bet your life she did
And who made the football team break training in the spring Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't) Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy didn't do a thing
And who dubbed the candy man for candy all the time Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (no she didn't) (She did), She didn't need a dime
Gracious ain't it awful, all the other girls would wail Really it's unlawful why she ought to go to jail
But who got the banker's boy, the tall and handsome kid Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't) You can bet your life she did
Now who plays the clarinet and makes the darned thing wail And who blows the trombone and he tells a woeful tale
Gracious ain't it awful, all the other band boys shout He can't blow his trumpet now it's time to throw him out
And who plays the uke and nearly busted all his strings (Georgie did), Georgie didn't, (Georgie did), No I didn't You can bet your life he did

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh If I ever lose this heaven If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven Whoa, I'll never be the same
When you're kind, extra kind Then suddenly you're crossed You're so moody, you get to me Still can't turn you off You're fascinating, more fascinating Than the dark side of the moon You're so exciting, that I'm re-writing The book of love called "You"
Oh, oh, oh, oh If I ever lose this heaven If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven Whoa, I'll never be the same
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh If I ever lose this heaven If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven Whoa, I'll never be the same
Kaw-Liga
Composer(s): Fred Rose; Hank Williams Sr.
Performer(s): Hank Williams Sr.;
and various other artists
Verse 1:
Kaw-Liga was a wooden indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an indian maid over in the antique store
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no
Verse 2:
He always wore his sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knotty pine
Chorus:
Poor old kaw-liga, he never got a kiss
Poor old kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
Kaw-Liga,that poor old wooden head
Verse 3:
Kaw-Liga was a lonely indian, never went nowhere
His heart was set on the indian maid with the coal black hair
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no
Chorus:
Poor old kaw-liga, he never got a kiss
Poor old kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
Kaw-Liga,that poor old wooden head
Verse 4:
Then one day a wealthy customer bought the indian maid
And took her oh so far away, but old kaw-liga stayed
Kaw-Liga just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an old pine tree
Chorus:
Poor old kaw-liga, he never got a kiss
Poor old kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
Kaw-Liga,that poor old wooden head
Kaw-liga, Kaw-liga Kaw-Liga....

Had ik dan een reden om hier te zijn, in dit aards paradijs wachtend op de ochtendzon?
stel nu dat jij niet bestond hoezeer zou ik jou missen dan? welke kleur, welke geur, geef ik dan aan t groots en grandioos portret dat ik voor jou had klaargezet
stel dat jij verdwijnen zou herinnering als een vage flard als een flirt, hoe je kirt, en je lacht alles wat ons samenbracht wat waren wij toch soms verward...
stel nu dat jij niet bestond had ik dan een reden om hier te zijn, in dit aards paradijs wachtend op de ochtendzon?
zeg mij dat je wel bestaat en dat het slechts om dromen ging die mij s nachts, overdag, en op straat vervolgen maar dan plotseling verdwijnen als een tinteling...

Lady with the flower in her hair turns my world on She knows the secret that keeps me coming back home Life has a meaning, I found it when she came along 'Cause the lady with the flower in her hair turns my world on
The places I've travelled can be traced by the lines on my face But I've yet to find something else to take its place When misery lays heavy, I think of my lady at home 'Cause the lady with the flower in her hair turns my world on
Lady with the flower in her hair turns my world on She knows the secret that keeps me coming back home Life has a meaning, I found it when she came along 'Cause the lady with the flower in her hair turns my world on
The lady with the flower in her hair turns my world on

If I didn't care more than words can say If I didn't care would I feel this way? If this isn't love then why do I thrill? And what makes my head go 'round and 'round While my heart stands still?

Nog Even ((Adapted from: Et Moi Je Chante (Gérard Lenorman) - 1975)) Composer(s): Didier Barbelivien - Gérard Lenorman - Herman Pieter de Boer Performer(s): Conny Vandenbos - 1976
Vanmorgen zat een kleine blauwe vogel voor 't raam En wat 'ie twinkeleerde leek een beetje op je naam Ik kreeg ineens een vreemd en overweldigend gevoel Want alles om je heen gebeurt toch altijd met een doel En later op de morgen kwam die onverwachte brief En door m'n tranen las ik woorden als: 'Ik heb je lief' En toen ik opkeek vloog die blauwe vogel weer voorbij Een teken van geluk, 't kwam weer goed met jou en mij
Je schreef: "Ik kom terug, ik kan niet langer zonder jou" Ik weet nu dat ik ondanks alles toch nog van je hou 't Leek een ogenblik nog op een droom en irreeel Maar toen ik 't geloofde, wat ik las, werd 't mij alles te veel
Maar nu: Nog even, nog even, nog even Ik loop te zingen en te zweven Je hebt me alles weer vergeven Je komt terug Nog even, nog even, nog even Dan kan ik al m'n liefde geven Ik kan weer lachen en weer leven Je komt terug
Je foto had ik weggestopt, ik zag 'm liever niet Want iedere herinnering, die deed me zo'n verdriet Nu haal ik 'm tevoorschijn en ik druk 'm aan m'n hart Ik voel me zo gelukkig, zo verlegen en verward Wat zal ik moeten zeggen op dat wonderlijk moment Dat jij je koffer neerzet en er werkelijk weer bent Ik denk dat ik zal zwijgen met je armen om me heen Ik zal wel moeten huilen want ik was zolang alleen
Maar nu: Nog even, nog even, nog even Ik loop te zingen en te zweven Je hebt me alles weer vergeven Je komt terug Nog even, nog even, nog even Dan kan ik al m'n liefde geven Ik kan weer lachen en weer leven Je komt terug
Nog even, nog even, nog even Je hebt me alles weer vergeven Nog even, nog even, nog even Dan kan ik al m'n liefde geven Ik kan weer lachen en weer leven Je komt terug

I just received, sweetheart, your yellow roses You tell me, dear, they mean that we're all through You tell me that tonight your heart is broken But you should know, I was never untrue
I'll place them near your photograph And as the petals fall They'll hide from you my lonely tears That shouldn't fall at all
Then they will slowly fade away and die But I'll still love you Though yellow roses say "Goodbye"
