Sorry I Never Knew You
Composer(s): Little Branch
Performer(s): The Browns; Sherman Branch; The Sego Brothers & Naomi



Last night as I lay sleeping a dream came to me
I dreamed about the end of time about eternity
I saw a million sinners fall on their face and pray
the Lord just sadly looked at them and this I heard Him say

Sorry, I never knew you, I have no record of your birth
sorry, I never knew you
go serve the one that you served while on earth

Well I thought that the time has surely come when I must face my trials
and I told the Lord that I had been a Christian all the while
and through his book he took a look and sadly shook his head
he placed me over on the left and this is what he said

Sorry, I never knew you, I have no record of your birth
sorry, I never knew you
go serve the one that you served while on earth

Well I saw my wife and children, I heard their loving voice
they must have been so happy, O how they did rejoice
their robes of white around them, a crown upon their head
my little girl looked up to me and this is what she said

Daddy, we can't go with you, we must dwell in the joy of our Lord
Sorry, but we still love you, but you'll never be our Daddy anymore

And then I awakened, the tears were in my eyes
and looking all around me and there to my surprise
there was my wife and children, I knew it was a dream
so kneeling at my bedside you should have heard me pray

Father who art in Heaven, I know you gave your only son
forgive me and let me serve thee, for I want to be ready when He comes

Half Heaven, Half Heartache
Composer(s): George Goehring; Wally Gold; Aaron Schroeder

and various other artists



My arms reach out for you I kiss you tenderly
But you touch my lips you're kissing him not me, why must it be
Half heaven, half heartache, my lovin' you, darlin'
Can't you forget that other love you knew?, hmm

Within your angel eyes a world of dreams are there
Yet I'll keep wondering if they are mine to share, oh it's just not fair
Half heaven, half heartache, my loving you, darlin'
Oh let my love be strong enough to take away the heartache
And make my life a heaven on earth with you-ou-oo-ou

Half heaven, half heartache, my loving you, darlin'
Oh let my love be strong enough to take away the heartache
And make my life a heaven on earth with you-ou-oo-oo-ou

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake up to find that you're not there

What have I got to do make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard,
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do?
What have I got to do?
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

Half As Much
Composer(s): Curley Williams
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney



If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down

If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you

You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down

If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you

Sorry angel
Sorry so

C'est moi qui t'est suicidée
Mon amour

Tu sais
Sans moi tu as décidé
Un beau jour
Décidé que tu t'en allais

Sorry angel

Le compte avait commencé
A rebours
Etait-ce vertige déveine
Qui sait
Un voyage un aller seul
Au long court
D'où l'on ne revient jamais

Sorry angel
Sorry so

Sorry so

Moi j'aurais tout essayé
Mon amour
C'était vraiment pas la peine
Je sais
Que c'était foutu d'avance
Mon amour
Je n'ai ni remord ni regret

Sorry angel

Sorry so

C'est moi qui t'est suicidée
Mon amour
Moi qui t'ai ouvert les veines
Je sais
Maintenant tu es avec les anges
Pour toujours
Pour toujours et à jamais

Half As Lovely (Twice As True)
Composer(s): Sammy Gallop; Lew Spence
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



If your eyes were half as bright, they still would light my way
If your heart were twice as true then you'd be mine today
That's why I often wish that you were half as lovely, twice as true
I'm only one of those who thinks of you and sighs
Just another who knows your laughter and lies
I wish that you were someone who was half as lovely, twice as true
I love you, I love you, too much it seems, for any fool can see
With your heart so crowded with other dreams, how can you dream of me?
Though I pray the gods of love will make you care, somehow
Still I know the odds of love are all against me now
But I might stand a chance if you were half as lovely, twice as true
Maybe, if your loveliness were not so heavenly
Maybe then I might possess the only one for me
I wish you ere someone who was half as lovely, twice as true

Wat wil je dat ik doe om jou te krijgen
Wat wil je dat ik doe opdat jij me ziet
Wil je dat ik praat of blijf ik zwijgen
Zeg me wat ik doe met dit verdriet

Wat doe ik opdat je mij zou willen
Wat moet ik doen opdat jij me hoort
Ik heb zo'n spijt van vele dingen
En sorry lijkt hier niet het juiste woord

Wat vreemd, zo vreemd
Wat een vreemde situatie
En het maakt me bang, oneindig bang
Wat vreemd, zo vreemd
Waarom gaat het niet over
Sorry lijkt hier niet
Sorry lijkt hier niet het juiste woord

Mmm wat vreemd, zo vreemd
Wat een vreemde situatie
En het maakt me bang, oneindig bang
Wat vreemd, zo vreemd
Waarom gaat het niet over
Sorry lijkt hier niet
Sorry lijkt hier niet het juiste

Wat wil je dat ik doe om jou te krijgen
Wat wil je dat ik doe opdat jij me ziet
Wat moet ik doen als jij blijft zwijgen
Wat moet ik toch doen
Zeg me wat ik moet doen
Want sorry lijkt hier niet het juiste woord

Half A Sixpence
Composer(s): David Heneker
Performer(s): Tommy Steele



I read in the Sunday papers what lovers’ tokens are
There’s amulets and there’s talismans
Like a ring or a lucky star
It says that half a sovereign 
Is a thing they use a lot
But sixpence is the only thing I’ve got

Still, half a sixpence
Is better than half a penny
Is better than half a farthing
Is better than none
It’s a token of
Our eternal love
When you’re far away
Touch it everyday
And, though, that half a sixpence
Can only mean half a romance
Remember that half a romance
Is better than none
But when I’m with you
One and one make two
And, likewise, two half sixpences
Joined together make one

Was kann ich jetzt noch tun um Dich zu halten?
Was immer ich versuch', es ist zu spät
Was kann ich tun damit Du mich liebst
Alles wäre jetzt bestimmt verkehrt

Was kann ich tun damit Du hierbleibst?
Wie laut muß ich schreien daß Du mich hörst?
Gibt's noch ein Wort das Dich nicht kalt läßt?
"Sorry" hab' ich viel zu oft gesagt

Zu spät, Du gehst, als wärst Du nie hier gewesen
Wo Du hingehst hab' ich nie gefragt
Du gehst, Du gehst, als hätt's uns nie gegeben
Ich hab' so das Gefühl
"Sorry" hab' ich viel zu oft gesagt

Zu spät, Du gehst, als wärst Du nie hier gewesen
Wo Du hingehst hab' ich nie gefragt
Du gehst, Du gehst, als hätt's uns nie gegeben
Ich hab' so das Gefühl
"Sorry" hab' ich viel zu oft gesagt

Was kann ich tun wo es doch vorbei ist?
Was kann ich jetzt noch tun, es ist zu schwer
Nichts ändert mehr daran daß Du mich nicht liebst

I don't love you like I used to do but I'm afraid to tell you so
I've got half a mind to leave you but only half the heart to go
Words to tell you just don't come to me guess my courage is too slow
I've got half a mind to leave you but only half the heart to go

Now time may prove that you're not to blame 
But now's the time I need to know
I've got half a mind to leave you but only half the heart to go

Mitä mä teen niin, että jälleen
pitää sua saisin lähelläin
Mistä löytää langan elämälleen
Mihin tukisin, kun yksin jäin
Miten sinut saisin välittämään
vain hetkiseksi vielä itsestäin
Miten sinut saisin ymmärtämään
kyyneleesi jälkeen kaiken näin

Jos saisin, jos saan
sanan sanoa, jonka taisin
jo kauan sitten unohtaa
Jos saisin, jos saan
vain sanotuksi saisin
Niin on aina mun
anteeksi kai pyytää vaikeaa
(2x)

Mitä mä teen sä, että voisit
nähdä koko yksinäisyytein
Mitä mä teen sä, että soisit
anteeksi nyt sen
summan virheiden
Anteeksi on pyytää vaikeaa

Half A Boy And Half A Man

You'd better run
you'd better hide

You'd better lock you house and keep the kids inside
Here come the twentieth century's latest scam
he's a half a boy and half a ma]
He ain't a fool but he's a tool

Because his left don't know what his right hand's doin'
He'd keep a King Kong eating out of the palm of his hand

Now he's a half a boy and half a man

Or else the S.P.G. 's gonna clear the streets
They never made no provision in the original plan for half a boy and half a man
Oh
when his fingers do the walking in the middle of the night
When his people stalk in 
baby
let me tell you
nothing comes out right
Best be fleet up on your feet

Oh
when his fingers do the walking in the middle of the night

You'd better run
you'd better hide

He's a half a boy and half a man
he's a half a boy and half a man

He's a half a boy and half a man - come on

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?

Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
He was always in love, in love, in love

Come to my tent, oh, my beloved
Bring me your lips, warm as the sun
Hear my lament, oh, my beloved
Come to my arms, oh, wonderful one

Enter my heart and stay there forever
Lost in the spell of stars up above
And we'll be like the man Hajji Baba
Always in love, always in love

(Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji
Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji)
Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
He was always in love, in love

Deep in each soul, carefully hidden
There's a desire to be indiscrete
Hajji has said, "When love is forbidden
Love is so sweet, love is so sweet"

Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
He was always in love, in love, in love

Come to my arms, oh, my beloved
(Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji

Mailman came this moring
Brought a message by
Said it from my baby
I think I know just why

Sorry, sorry, sorry sorry
That I didn't go last night

Had a date at seven
With a girl named named Flo
And I just remembered
Had a date with her

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
That I didn't go last night

Mailman came this morning
Brought a message by
Said it was from my baby
I think I know just why

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
That I didn't go last night
Didn't go last night
Didn't go last night

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 

Chorus

Sorry

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?

I came down from Butte, Montana
for a little change of scene
And I stopped to stay in Santa Fe
where I met a pretty queen
Hair of gold, eyes of blue
lips like cherry wine
She's the prettiest gal I ever know and I'm gonna make her mine
Now I planned to leave on Monday
but she held me kinda tight
So I stood my ground and hung around
and then I left on Friday night
Oh, hair of gold, eyes of blue
lips like cherry wine
The prettiest gal I ever knew and I'm gonna make her mine

'k Was stomverbaasd toen je me belde
Na zo lange tijd
M'n hart sloeg plotseling heel even over

Oh en jij klonk nog hetzelfde
En het meisje in mij
Bracht zomaar weer het onderste boven

Woo hoo hoo
Wat is het lang geleden
Lang geleden

Het klikte zomaar weer
De tijd stond even stil
Ik dacht weer "ja ik wil"

Het klikte zomaar weer
De tijd stond even stil
Ik dacht weer "ja ik wil"

Wel wat met jou

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

Woo hoo hoo
Wat is het lang geleden
Lang geleden
Lang geleden

't Was als de eerste keer
Het klikte zomaar weer
De tijd stond even stil
Ik dacht weer "ja ik wil"
't Was als de eerste keer
Het klikte zomaar weer
De tijd stond even stil
Ik dacht weer "ja ik wil"

Wel wat

Waar spreken we af en zien we elkaar snel weer?

Kom we pikken het weer op zoals de eerste keer

Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Yeah

't Was als de eerste keer
Het klikte zomaar weer
De tijd stond even stil
Ik dacht weer "ja ik wil"
't Was als de eerste keer
Het klikte zomaar weer
De tijd stond even stil
Ik dacht weer "ja ik wil"

Zoals de eerste keer
