It Isn't Right Composer(s): Robert Mellin Performer(s): The Platters; Downchild Blues Band; Poker Dots
It isn't right for you to hurt me It isn't right to make me blue It isn't right to take my kisses And give them to somebody new It isn't right for you to promise A million dreams that can't come true It isn't right to start a flame Deep within my heart Then let it go out like a light It isn't right
If I Needed You Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt First release by: Townes Van Zandt - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
If I needed you would you come to me would you come to me and ease my pain? If you needed me I would come to you I'd swim the seas for to ease your pain
In the night forlorn the morning's born and the morning shines with the lights of love You will miss sunrise if you close your eyes that would break my heart in two
The lady's with me now since I showed her how to lay her lily hand in mine Loop and Lil agree she's a sight to see and a treasure for the poor to find
(Love Is Like A) Baseball Game Composer(s): Kenneth Gamble; Leon Huff Performer(s): The Intruders
Love is just like a baseball game Three strikes youre out
Up to bat {To bat} I thought I hit a love run But to my surprise I found I didnt hit none
Threw her love so fast She put me in a daze Never knew that love Could come so many ways
{Strike one} She took me by surprise {Strike two} Right in front of my eyes {Strike three} Oh, I was out without a doubt Oh, I was out
(Oh, love) Love is just like a baseball game Three strikes youre out (Three strikes youre out) Whether you win or lose (Oh, love) Love is just like a baseball game (Is like a baseball game) Three strikes youre out Everybodys got to pay some due
Oh, Im up to bat {To bat} Im gonna try love one more time I really love this girl And Im gonna make her mine
I aint never won When I played a baseball game Now it seems that love And baseball are just the same
{Strike one} Oh, she did it again {Strike two} Looks like Im never gonna win {Strike three} Oh, I was out without a doubt I was out
(Oh, love) Love is just like a baseball game Three strikes youre out (Three strikes youre out) Whether you win or lose (I said love) Love is just like a baseball game Three strikes youre out Everybodys got to pay some due (You got to pay some due)
(Oh, love) Love is just like a baseball game Three strikes youre out (Three strikes youre out whether you win or lose) (I said love) Love is just like a baseball game Three strikes youre out (Oh) Everybodys got to pay some due (Got to say it again)
(Love, love, love) Love is just like a baseball game Three strikes youre out (Three strikes youre out whether you win or lose)
(Love Always) Letter To Home Composer(s): Carl Jackson Performer(s): Glen Campbell
You might think there's some big reason Why I took this time to write The cards and letters there's been too few of those But I just stopped to realize How long that I've been gone But there's a few small things I need to know
Dear Daddy do the whipperwill still echo through the night? Does the sound of silence squeeze the morning light? And have you caught the big one in the pond just down the road? I miss you so
Well years keep slipping by me Like miles out on the road But I don't guess I'll change my way of life There's no harm in holding memories But please tell me if you can If I can bring those old times inside
Dear Mama can you still find the dipper in the stars? Do the roads still go for hours without cars? Does the frost still shine on the grass outside the door? Just like before Tell me more
Is Sis still planning marriage sometime soon? Can you still reach out and touch the moon? Do old songs still ring out through the hills for days and days?
Youre Here, Youre There (Youre Everywhere) Composer(s): Irving Kahal; Loeb Performer(s): Vera Lynn and multiple other artists
Youre here, youre there, youre everywhere Your eyes in the moon, your lips in the gold, your voice in the air And when you escape me, I fasten my eyes to a star I sweep off the stardust, and suddenly there you are Youre here, youre there, youre everywhere Your smile in the sun, your kiss in the breeze, your name in my prayer This beautiful world, dear, is full of your tender charms Youre here, youre there but never in my arms
(Lost His Love) On Our Last Date Composer(s): Floyd Cramer; Conway Twitty Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
It's over our love affair Too late now I find I care His sweet love no more I'll share Now he's gone I'm alone I was wrong should have known Took me home on our last date
I search for a single way To tell him what I had to say I kissed him watched him walk away Set him free foolishly destiny misery Tragedy on our last date
Took the ring from my trembling fingers Brushed a tear from my baby's eye Walked away didn't know that I'd soon miss him so Guess I was too young to realize So blind I couldn't see how much he really meant to me And that soon he would always be On my mind in my heart I was blind from the start Lost his love on our last date
If I Loved You Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Mario Lanza and multiple other artists
If I loved you Time and again I would try to say All I'd want you to know If I loved you Words wouldn't come in an easy way Round in circles I'd go! Longin' to tell you But afraid and shy I'd let my golden chances pass me by! Soon you'd leave me Off you would go in the mist of day Never, never to know how I loved you If I loved you

If I Learned To Play The Violin Composer(s): Joey Levine; Artie Resnick Performer(s): The Monkees
If I learned to play the violin And I traded my old guitar in Would your parents still object Or would I win their respect If I learned to play the violin? I would even go and cut my hair Though my friends would point and say I'm square Girl, would your society Still look down their nose at me If I learned to play the violin? I'd give up my beat-ways Take up more discreet ways All you've got to do is ask me to Whoa-oa, just ask me to And I'd learn to play the violin Turn my back on everything I've been I'd be like somebody new But, not change my love for you If I learned to play the violin
I'd give up my beat-ways Take up more discreet ways All you've got to do is ask me to Whoa-oa, just ask me to And I'd learn to play the violin Yes, I'd learn to play the violin And I'd learn to play the violin Yes, I'd learn to play the violin
'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren Oh, dat was een wonder 't Was een wonder, boven wonder Dat die beren konden smeren Wat ik zeg is echt waar 'k Stond erbij en ik keek ernaar
'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren Alle lieve dagen Kwamen vele mensen vragen Of die beren wilden smeren En zo werd dat hun taak In hun eigen broodjeszaak
'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren Met beleg naar keuze Smaakten al die broodjes reuze Want die beren konden smeren Iedereen kwam steeds weer Om zo'n broodje van een beer
'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren Maar bij 't winst verdelen Wilden ze elkaar bestelen Eén der beren ging hem smeren Hij begon toen meteen Pal rechtover heel alleen
'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren Om de lieve centen Waren ze nu concurrenten En die beren alsmaar smeren Loerend vol nijd en haat Naar den overkant der straat
'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren Maar geen belgetinkel Klonk in dees of gene winkel Waar die beren bleven smeren Ook al werd door hun fout Al hun brood droog en oud
'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren Heel bedroefd en somber Elk z'n zaakje ging ten onder Doordat beren moeten smeren Zonder haat of venijn Omdat zij geen mensen zijn
'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren Wetend dat in 't leven Enkel eendracht macht kan geven Zijn die beren om te smeren Weder na ruggespraak Samen in één broodjeszaak

Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot Want daar kun je alles vergeten En zul je van zorgen nooit weten
Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot Kom deel nu met mij daar je leven en lot Hoog op m'n duivenkot
Ik heb een mansarde gemeubeld gehuurd Vlak neffes een klein stamineeke Bij 't Antwerpse Steen, een gezellige buurt Daar wil ik u even van spreken
Ik woon daar alleen en geen mens die me stoort Door het raam zie ik de wolken verschuiven Het enig geluid dat ge daar bij me hoort Dat is het gekoer van m'n duiven
Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot Want daar kun je alles vergeten En zul je van zorgen nooit weten
Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot Kom deel nu met mij daar je leven en lot Hoog op m'n duivenkot
M'n buurman, de baas van het klein staminee Is ook al verzot op m'n duiven Hij gaat ieder zondag een keer met me mee Dan moet ge ons samen zien schuiven
Die baas heeft een dochter, een duifke gelijk Zo lief en zo slank is dat blondje En als ik haar diep in haar oogjes dan kijk Dan klinkt uit haar lachende mondje
Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot Want daar kun je alles vergeten En zul je van zorgen nooit weten
Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot Kom deel nu met mij daar je leven en lot Hoog op m'n duivenkot
Toen heb ik dat duifke naar boven gebracht En ben er een nestje gaan bouwen Gelijk als een duiver houd ik daar de wacht Want duifkes zijn niet te vertrouwen
Geen duiver laat ik op m'n duivenkot toe M'n duifke zal ik heus zelf wel voeren Want 'k weet als een andere duiver haar ziet Dat hij ook dat liedje zal koeren
Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot Want daar kun je alles vergeten En zul je van zorgen nooit weten
Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot Kom deel nu met mij daar je leven en lot Hoog op m'n duivenkot
