Wat moet ik nu nog doen, om jou te houden We hebben alles samen al beleefd Wat doe ik met mijn zelfvertrouwen Sinds jij het met verwijten hebt doorzeefd
Probeer toch weer eens naar me te verlangen En zet jouw jaloezie maar overboord Of zeg: 'Het spijt me!', dan is het over Maar "Sorry" is voor jou een moeilijk woord
Je bent bang! Te bang, bang om me gelijk te geven! Heb je angst, dat het jouw ego stoort? Het is fijn, best fijn Om een keer toe te geven Kom, zeg het in mijn oor Want "Sorry" is toch niet zo'n moeilijk woord
Je bent bang! Te bang, bang om me gelijk te geven! Heb je angst, dat het jouw ego stoort? Het is fijn, best fijn Om een keer toe te geven Kom, zeg het in mijn oor Want "Sorry" is toch niet zo'n moeilijk woord
Wat moet ik nog doen om jou te houden Ik zal mezelf verbeteren, accoord We hebben beiden onze fouten Fluister het in mijn oor Zeg het maar in mijn oor Is dat "Sorry" nou zo'n vreselijk moeilijk woord?

Haitian Divorce Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen Performer(s): Steely Dan
Babs and Clean Willie were in love they said So in love the preacher's face turned red Soon everybody knew the thing was dead He shouts, she bites, they wrangle through the night She go crazy Got to make a getaway Papa say
Chorus: Oh - no hesitation No tears and no hearts breakin' No remorse Oh - congratulations This is your Haitian Divorce
She takes the taxi to the good hotel Bon marché as far as she can tell She drinks the zombie from the cocoa shell She feels alright, she get it on tonight Mister driver Take me where the music play Papa say
Chorus
At the Grotto In the greasy chair Sits the Charlie with the lotion and the kinky hair When she smiled, she said it all The band was hot so They danced the famous Merengue Now we dolly back Now we fade to black
Tearful reunion in the USA Day by day those memories fade away Some babies grow in a peculiar way It changed, it grew, and everybody knew Semi-mojo Who's this kinky so-and-so? Papa go
Sorry Composer(s): Phil Keaggy Performer(s): Phil Keaggy
Here's a story of ten virgins Who went out to meet the Groom Five of them were foolish Though their beauty was in bloom
They took no oil with their lamps To see them through the night They thought they'd be alright and ready
The other five were very wise And made provision for the night They carried extra oil And their lamps were burning bright
Then one by one they fell asleep The Bridegroom had delayed Then there came a messenger who said
He is coming, His waiting bride to take He's coming, the choice is yours to make Come and greet Him, He'll soon be at the gate Will you meet Him before you realize that it's too late?
They all arose and trimmed their lamps Knowing they would soon see Him The foolish then discovered That their lamps were growing dim
Share with us your oil We've run out of our supply! Then the wise would answer them and cry
We're so sorry, there's not enough to take We're sorry, the choice was yours to make Now go hurry, He'll soon be at the gate Now you worry, although you knew That it was getting late
While they went to make the purchase That was when the Bridegroom came The ready ones went with Him To the feast and wore His name
The others then returned and said Lord let us come in too But He answered, I do not know you
They were sorry, don't make the same mistake So sorry, the choice is yours to make Come and greet Him, He'll soon be at the gate Will you meet Him before you've realized That it's too late?

Ik vond je toen te gek, ik was stapel op jou Heel macho en overal tegen
Oh, en wat je nooit geweten hebt Ik hield veel van jou Maar eigenlijk was ik toen heel verlegen

Sorrow, tomorrow Sorrow, tomorrow
Makin eyes at all the guys While you dance with me I must be blind to love your kind cause its so plain to see
If I should love you For more than tonight
There would be sorrow There would be heartache There would be sorrow, tomorrow
Havin fun with anyone Livin for today My achin heart is torn apart I just cant live that way
If I should love you For more than tonight
There would be sorrow There would be heartache There would be sorrow, tomorrow
Troubles waitin just around the corner Heartaches waitin just around the bend I dont want to think about tomorrow cause tomorrow my happiness could end
I asked my pride to step aside I know this loves so wrong Cant stand the pain Of lovin in vain its not where I belong
If I should love you For more than tonight
There would be sorrow There would be heartache There would be sorrow, tomorrow
You believe me There would be sorrow There would be heartache
There would be sorrow, tomorrow
I know you know That there would be sorrow There would be heartache There would be sorrow, tomorrow

Hail Glorious Saint Patrick Composer(s): Sr. Anges; H.F. Hemy Performer(s): Daniel O'Donnell
Hail, glorious St. Patrick, dear saint of our isle On us thy poor children bestow a sweet smile And now thou art high in the mansions above On Erin's green valleys look down in thy love
(optional repeat) On Erin's green valleys, on Erin's green valleys On Erin's green valleys look down in thy love
Hail, glorious St. Patrick, thy words were once strong Against Satan's wiles and a heretic throng Not less is thy might where in Heaven thou art Oh, come to our aid, in our battle take part!
In a war against sin, in the fight for the faith Dear Saint, may thy children resist to the death May their strength be in meekness, in penance, and prayer Their banner the Cross, which they glory to bear
Thy people, now exiles on many a shore Shall love and revere thee till time be no more And the fire thou hast kindled shall ever burn bright Its warmth undiminished, undying its light
Ever bless and defend the sweet land of our birth Where the shamrock still blooms as when thou wert on earth And our hearts shall yet burn, wherever we roam For God and St. Patrick, and our native home
Sophisticated Lady Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - Irving Mills - Duke Ellington First release by: Duke Ellington & His Orch. - 1933 Covered by multiple other artists
They say into your early life romance came And in this heart of yours burned a flame A flame that flickered one day and dies away Then, with disillusion deep in your eyes You learned that fools in love soon grow wise The years have changed you somehow I see you now
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow Nonchalant Diamonds shining, dancing, dining With some man in a restaurant Is that all you really want
No. Sophisticated lady I know You miss that love you lost long ago And when nobody is nigh, you cry You cry, you cry
