I just want to tell you all the things you are And all the things you mean to me You've been with me forever Through the changes in my life Through all the tears and laughter
When I find myself believing there's no place to go When I feel the loneliness inside my heart
You're the answer to my prayers And you're with me everywhere You're my angel, miracle, you're all I need tonight Give me shelter from the rain You breathe life in me again You're my angel, miracle, you're all I need to know, tonight
Life is just a moment We're blowing in the wind We're trying to find a friend And only time can tell us If win or if we lose And who will stand beside us
When there's darkness all around me You're the light I see When I need someone to ease my troubled mind
You're the answer to my prayers And you're with me everywhere You're my angel, miracle, you're all I need tonight Give me shelter from the rain You breathe life in me again You're my angel, miracle, you're all I need to know, tonight
You're all I need tonight All I need tonight All I need tonight You're my angel
You're the answer to my prayers And you're with me everywhere You're my angel, miracle, you're all I need tonight Give me shelter from the rain You breathe life in me again You're my angel, my miracle, you're all I need to know, tonight
Kleine Dirkie had een hondje door een auto overreden Met gebroken poot in 't straatgewoel gevonden Met twee houtjes en een stukkie van een ouwe gonjezak Had ie 't pootje eerst gespalkt en toen verbonden
Daarna had ie 't dier heel zacht opgepakt en thuisgebracht En vervuld van stille angst en diepe zorgen Zei ie: "Mormel, had ook uitgekeken voor je overstak" En 't voorzichtig in een zolderhoek geborgen
Als 'ie boterhammen kreeg verborg 'ie iedere keer een stukkie Voor zijn zieke kameraad onder z'n kieltje En dan sloop ie op z'n tenen met een koppie zonder oor Naar de zolder en zei: "Vreet nou maar, schlemieltje"
Hekkie keek 'm nou en dan met z'n koppie scheef 's an De filantropie kon 't beestje niet verwerken Toen 'ie op een keer wou blaffen siste Dirkie: "Houd je bek Je ligt zo uit je pension als ze 't merken"
Op een keer kwam Hekkie onverwachts, z'n poot nog in 't verband De kamer in, een hondje laat zich niet verbieden Moeder zei: "Nou is de boot an, kijk me zo'n scharminkel an 't Lijkt waarachtig wel de Joodse invalide Van wie hoort dat stuk gespuis? Straks heb ik Artis in me huis" Dirkie stamelde, hij kon 't nauwelijks zeggen "Toen ie onder een auto lee, dacht ik, ik neem 'm effe mee Anders hadden ze 'm zo maar laten leggen"
"As 'ie binnen 't uur m'n huis niet uit is gaat 'ie in de plomp" Verklaarde ma "da's wat voor mij, die nare krengen" Toen zei pa gedecideerd: "Wanneer z'n poot genezen is, Zal ik 'm persoonlijk naar 't asiel toe brengen" Dirk zei liefdevol: "Nou teef, de eerste maand ben je weer safe" Intuitief was ie van de patient gaan houden Moeder schamperde: "Zeg ober, geef u Hekkie een stukkie kreeft Man, je moet een villa voor 'm laten bouwen."
Kleine Mies 't jongste zusje noemde Hekkie smalend viezerik Dan hulde Dirkie zich in hooghartig zwijgen Soms werd 't 'm wat al te machtig en dan kreet ie: "Treiterkop Wat is vies, kijk jij maar liever naar je eige" Eens beet Hek in Miesje's pop, 't meisje gaf het beest een schop Dirk vloog op en loeide: "Valse Salamander Raak dat beessie nog 's aan, dan zal ik je effe kreupel slaan Als 'ie slaag krijgt is 't van mij en van geen ander"
Hekkie leefde ongestoord temidden van conflicten voort Schoon onbewust dat ze de oorzaak was van rampen De 1 vervolgde haar met haat, de ander werd 'r kameraad Het huisgezin had zich gescheiden in twee kampen Het potje was weer gecureerd, Dirkie had de hond geleerd Mooi te zitten en nou was ie reuze branie Vader zei soms: "Klein serpent, zo'n beest is toch intelligent" "Ja", zei Moeder, "Ga d'r mee naar Sarasani"
Na zes maanden stille oorlog had 't noodlot zich voltrokken Hekkie had iets raars gedaan in Moeder's kamer Bertus 't oudste broertje zag 't en riep: "Kijk 's wat een zwijn Op de trijpen stoelen, Moe", hij greep een hamer Wierp die Hekkie naar z'n kop, 't beestje vloog schuimbekkend op Viel toen neer, op dat moment kwam Dirkie binnen Bleef als vastgenageld staan, keek lijkwit zijn broertje aan Niemand wist toen wat met Dirkie te beginnen
Zacht als was 't een kostbaar kleinood heeft toen Dirk 't verstarde beest Naar z'n hoekie op de zolder meegenomen 's Avonds in het donker groef ie in het Vondelpark een kuil In een eenzaam laantje onder iepebomen Met een snuitje bleek als was lei 'ie Hekkie onder 't gras En zei trillend, beide oogjes toegeknepen "Hekkie, 't was niet mijn schuld, mensen hebben geen geduld Arm dier, ze hebben jou thuis nooit begrepen"
Angel Composer(s): Jimi Hendrix First recording/First release by: Jimi Hendrix - 1969/1971 Covered by multiple other artists
Angel came down from heaven yesterday She stayed with me just long enough to rescue me and she told me a story yesterday About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea Then she spread her wings high over me and she said 'come, come back tomorrow' And I said 'fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky, fly on my sweet angel Tomorrow, I'm gonna be by your side' Sure enough This woman came unto me Silver wings, silhouette against a childs sunrise And my angel said unto me Today is the day for you to rise Take my hand, you're gonna be my man, gonna rise Then she took me over yonder And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky Fly on my sweet angel, forever I'm gonna be by your side"
Het Gezicht Van Een Clown Composer(s): Daniel Gérard; M. Ex Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Een gezicht kijkt bedroefd In die spiegel hier voor me En wat ik ook zoek Het weerspiegelt steeds weer Het gezicht van een clown Ik die zoveel bezat Veel vrienden en liefjes voor een nacht Nu plots lijkt alles zo leeg En begrijp nu voor het eerst Hoe sterk jou steun voor me was
Juist nu dat ik je wou omarmen Juist nu dat ik je wou ontvangen Alleen die spiegel laat me niet alleen En zelfs die clown huilt met me mee Oh, Oh, la la la ... Alleen die spiegel laat me niet alleen En zelfs die clown huilt met me mee Oh, Oh
Ik heb zoveel geleefd Een verleden neem je altijd met je mee En wat me nu rest is een stem die me zegt Je hebt het gezicht van een clown
Juist nu dat ik je wou omarmen Juist nu dat ik je wou ontvangen Alleen die spiegel laat me niet alleen En zelfs die clown huilt met me mee Oh, Oh, la la la ... Alleen die spiegel laat me niet alleen En zelfs die clown huilt met me mee Oh, Oh, la la la ... Alleen die spiegel laat me niet alleen En zelfs die clown huilt met me mee Oh, Oh, la la la ...
Angel Composer(s): Ben Peters Performer(s): Jim Ed Brown
It was in the early morning when I looked through sleepy eyes To find I had an Angel by my side It was in the early morning that I first would realize I could never love another if I try
In the middle of the morning working twenty miles away I would stop to rest and think of her a while Of how she'd stand there in the doorway as I left the house each day And the love so plain to see in Angel's smile
And I'd always call her when noon time came around Knowin' she'd been waitin' by the phone And though I was only on the other side of town You'd think it's been a week that I've been gone
But it was in the early evening when I finally made it home She'd come running to my arms when I'd call It was in the early evening when our world became our own And that's the time I miss Angel most of all And that's the time I miss Angel most of all
Het Dorp ((Adapted from: La Montagne (by Jean Ferrat) - 1964)) Composer(s): Jean Ferrat - Hugo Verhaghe Performer(s): Wim Sonneveld - 1969 and multiple other artists
Thuis heb ik nog een ansichtkaart Waarop een kerk een kar met paard Een slagerij J. van der Ven Een kroeg, een juffrouw op de fiets Het zegt u hoogstwaarschijnlijk niets Maar het is waar ik geboren ben Dit dorp, ik weet nog hoe het was De boerenkind'ren in de klas Een kar die ratelt op de keien Het raadhuis met een pomp ervoor Een zandweg tussen koren door Het vee, de boerderijen
En langs het tuinpad van m'n vader Zag ik de hoge bomen staan Ik was een kind en wist niet beter Dan dat 't nooit voorbij zou gaan
Wat leefden ze eenvoudig toen In simp'le huizen tussen groen Met boerenbloemen en een heg Maar blijkbaar leefden ze verkeerd Het dorp is gemoderniseerd En nou zijn ze op de goeie weg Want ziet, hoe rijk het leven is Ze zien de televisiequiz En wonen in betonnen dozen Met flink veel glas, dan kun je zien Hoe of het bankstel staat bij Mien En d'r dressoir met plastic rozen
En langs het tuinpad van m'n vader Zag ik de hoge bomen staan Ik was een kind en wist niet beter Dan dat 't nooit voorbij zou gaan
De dorpsjeugd klit wat bij elkaar In minirok en beatle-haar En joelt wat mee met beat-muziek Ik weet wel het is hun goeie recht De nieuwe tijd, net wat u zegt Maar het maakt me wat melancholiek Ik heb hun vaders nog gekend Ze kochten zoethout voor een cent Ik zag hun moeders touwtjespringen Dat dorp van toen, het is voorbij Dit is al wat er bleef voor mij Een ansicht en herinneringen
En langs het tuinpad van m'n vader Zag ik de hoge bomen staan Ik was een kind, hoe kon ik weten Dat dat voorgoed voorbij zou gaan
Angel Composer(s): Bob Welch Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac
Sometimes The most beautiful things The most innocent things And many of those dreams Pass us by Keep passing us by
You feel good I said it's funny that you understood I knew you would When you were good You were very, very good
I still look up When you walk in the room I've the same wide eyes They tell the story Try not to reach out When you turn 'round And you say hello And we both pretend There was an end But there was no ending
So I close my eyes softly Til I become that part of the wind That we all long for sometime And to those that I love Like a ghost through a fog Like a charmed hour And a haunted song And the angel of my dreams
I still look up I try hard not to look up That girl was me Track a ghost through the fog A charmed hour--a haunted song Track a ghost through the fog, baby
Hesitation Blues Composer(s): Jorma Kaukonen; Jack Casady Performer(s): Hot Tuna
Well, nickel is a nickel, I said, dime is a dime I need a new gal, she won't mind Tell me how long do I have to wait? Can I get you now, I said, must I hesitate? The eagle on the dollar says "in God we trust" You say you want a man You wanna see that dollar first Tell me how long do I have to wait? Can I get you now, I said, must I hesitate? Well, If the river was whiskey, said, I was a duck You know I'd swim to the bottom Lord, and never come up Tell me how long Well, rocks in the ocean, said, fish in the sea Knows you mean the world to me Tell me how long do I have to wait? Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate? Well, the hesitation stalker's got them hesitation shoes You know, Lord, I got them hesitation blues Tell me how long do I have to wait? Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate? Said, can I get you now, how long must I hesitate?
Angel ((French Version: Angel (by Eddy Mitchell) - 1962)) Composer(s): Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley - 1961/1962 Covered by multiple other artists
Angel, with those angel eyes Come and take this earth boy Up to paradise
Angel, may I hold you tight? Never kissed an angel Let me kiss one tonight
If I said "I love you" Would I be speaking out of turn? I'm only human, but I'm willing to learn
Angel, make my wish come true Let me be in heaven here on earth with you
Angel, never kissed an angel Let me kiss one tonight
If I said "I love you" Would I be speaking out of turn? I'm only human, but I'm willing to learn
Angel, make my wish come true Let me be in heaven here on earth with you
He's Your Uncle, Not Your Dad Composer(s): Wayne; Weisman Performer(s): Elvis Presley
He's your uncle not your dad, he's the best friend you ever had So come on dig, dig, dig-in until it hurts Just remember Pearl Harbor
(The Alamo and nothing could be worse)
He's your favorite relative and he needs a lot to live So just bring, bring, bring everything until you bleed
(And he'll send back what he don't need)
If your not in form ten-forty's your salvation By deprivation of temptation
(Dark and blondes I hear are not deductible)
Oh say can you see if there's anything left for me When he calls you as he may do Don't be frightened red white and blue Just be thankful you don't live in Leningrad He's your uncle, not your dad
If your honest you don't have to shake and shiver The food is lousy up the river
(It's give and take and he does all the taking)
Oh say can you see if there's anything left for me Life has two things you can't subtract
(Death and taxes to be exact)
So just pa-pa-patriotically declare He's your uncle, he's your uncle, not your dad
Angel Composer(s): Chiara Siracusa First performance by: Chiara - 2005
Far away in a lost world I hear your voice calling for heaven Cast away, caught in mem'ries You must believe love will come through
I'll be your angel in your darkest night I'll be your destiny, waiting by your side I'll be the sunshine when you're feeling blue I'm always here for you
Comes a day, heart on fire When all your faith seems to be missing Go your way and you'll find there A land of hope, a land of dreams
I'll be your angel in your darkest night I'll be your destiny, waiting by your side I'll be the sunshine when you're feeling blue I'm always here for you
And when you lose it all And nothing seems right Just keep holding on To me
I'll be your angel in your darkest night I'll be your destiny waiting by your side I'll be the sunshine when you're feeling blue I'm always here for you
He's The Man (He's Tall And Cool) Composer(s): Vivian Greene Performer(s): Vivian Greene
He may be your man but he comes to see me sometime He may be your man but he comes to see me sometime He comes so often, I'm beginnin' to think he's mine
He's yours, he's mine, he's somebody else's too He's yours and he's mine and he's somebody else's too If you don't mind, I'll have him clean away from you
'Cause that man rocks me, he rocks me with a steady roll He rocks me, rocks me with a steady roll When he rocks me, Lord, he satisfies my soul
He's long and tall, just like a willow tree He's long and tall, just like a willow tree He's tall and cool, that man sends me
If that's your man, tie 'im to your side If that's your man, tie 'im, tie 'im, tie 'im, tie 'im to your side If he flags my train, I'm sure gonna let him ride
Now he don't drink or gamble, he don't run around When it comes to good lovin' he can really go to town That's the truth baby, I swear I wouldn't lie I love that man, gee, I hope to die
Stances À Un Cambrioleur Composer(s): Georges Brassens First release by: Georges Brassens - 1972
Prince des monte-en-l'air et de la cambriole Toi qui eus le bon goût de choisir ma maison Cependant que je colportais mes gaudrioles En ton honneur j'ai composé cette chanson
Sache que j'apprécie à sa valeur le geste Qui te fit bien fermer la porte en repartant De peur que des rôdeurs n'emportassent le reste Des voleurs comme il faut c'est rare de ce temps
Tu ne m'as dérobé que le stricte nécessaire Délaissant dédaigneux l'exécrable portrait Que l'on m'avait offert à mon anniversaire Quel bon critique d'art mon salaud tu ferais
Autre signe indiquant toute absence de tare Respectueux du brave travailleur tu n'as Pas cru décent de me priver de ma guitare Solidarité sainte de l'artisanat
Pour toutes ces raisons vois-tu, je te pardonne Sans arrière-pensée après mûr examen Ce que tu m'as volé, mon vieux, je te le donne Ça pouvait pas tomber en de meilleures mains
D'ailleurs moi qui te parle, avec mes chansonnettes Si je n'avais pas dû rencontrer le succès J'aurais tout comme toi, pu virer malhonnête Je serais devenu ton complice, qui sait
En vendant ton butin, prends garde au marchandage Ne vas pas tout lâcher en solde au receleurs Tiens leur la dragée haute en évoquant l'adage Qui dit que ces gens-là sont pis que les voleurs
Fort de ce que je n'ai pas sonné les gendarmes Ne te crois pas du tout tenu de revenir Ta moindre récidive abolirait le charme Laisse-moi je t'en prie, sur un bon souvenir
Monte-en-l'air, mon ami, que mon bien te profite Que Mercure te préserve de la prison Et pas trop de remords, d'ailleurs nous sommes quittes Apres tout ne te dois-je pas une chanson
Post-Scriptum, si le vol est l'art que tu préfères Ta seule vocation, ton unique talent Prends donc pignon sur rue, mets-toi dans les affaires Et tu auras les flics même comme chalands
He's The Greatest Dancer Composer(s): Bernard Edwards; Nile Rodgers Performer(s): Sister Sledge
Oh... what... wow! He's the greatest dancer Oh... what... wow! That I've ever seen... One night in a disco On the outskirts of Frisco I was cruisin' with my favourite gang The place was so boring Filled with out-of-towners touring I knew that it wasn't my thing I really wasn't caring But I felt my eyes staring At a guy who stood out in the crowd He had the kind of body That would shame Adonis And a face that would make any man cry Oh... what... wow! He's the greatest dancer Oh... what... wow! That I've ever seen... The champion of dance His moves would put you in a trance And he never leaves the disco alone Arrongance but not conceit As a man who is complete(ly) La crème de la crème Please take me (don't go) home He wears the finest clothes The best designers, heaven knows Ooh, from his head down to his toes Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci He looks like a still That man is dressed to kill Oh... what... wow! He's the greatest dancer Oh... what... wow! That I've ever seen... I love your moves...

He's Sure The Boy I Love Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil Performer(s): The Crystals; Darlene Love; Lulu
I always dreamed the boy I loved would come along And he'd be tall and handsome, rich and strong Now that boy I love has come to me But he sure ain't the way I thought he'd be
He doesn't look like a movie star He doesn't drive a Cadillac car He sure ain't yhe boy I've been dreamin' of But he's sure the boy I love Let me tell ya now He' never be a big business man He always buys on the installment plan He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of But he's sure the boy I love When he holds me tight Everything's right Crazy as it seems I'm his, whatever he is And I forget all of my dreams And everybody knows... He doesn't hang diamonds round my neck And all he's got's an unemployment check He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of But he's sure the boy I love
Stan' Up An' Fight Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Georges Bizet Performer(s): Joe Adams and multiple other artists
Thanks a lot! I'm sure glad to be To be where I c'n see So many friends o' mine How've I been doin'? How've I been doin'? If you really wanta know de truth I'm doin' fine! Seventeen Decisions in a row An' only five on points De res' was all K.O. Jackson an' Johnson Murphy an' Bronson One by one dey come An' one by one to dreamland dey go How's it done? You ask me, how's it done? I got a trainer man Who taught me all I need to know Sure feels good to have him in my corner Hear his voice a-whisp'rin' low
"Big boy, remember You mus' remember... Stan' up an' fight until you hear de bell Stan' toe to toe Trade blow fer blow Keep punchin' till you make yer punches tell Show dat crowd watcher know! Until you hear dat bell Dat final bell Stan' up an' fight like hell!"
When you fight Out in de open air In a patch o' light De ring looks small an' white Out in de blackness Out in de blackness You c'n feel a hun'erd thousan' eyes Fillin' de night Cigarettes Are blinkin' in de dark An' makin' polka dots Aroun' de baseball park People are quiet Den dere's a riot! Someone t'rows a punch An' plants it right smack on de mark... Somebody's hurt You kinda think it's you You hang across de ropes Da's all you want to do Den you look aroun' an' see your trainer's eyes Beggin' you to see it through Dey say, "Remember Big Boy, remeber
Stan' up an' fight until you hear de bell Stan' toe to toe Trade blow fer blow Keep punchin' till you make yer punches tell Show dat crowd watcher know! Until you hear dat bell Dat final bell Stan, up an' fight like hell!"
He's So Shy Composer(s): Tom Snow; Cynthia Weil Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters; Tom Jones
When I first saw him standin' there He looked away but I did not care Something inside whispered to me You'd better move in carefully
And then he smiled and turned away That told me all he could not say That's when I knew He wanted me too But I had to do some breakin' through
He's so shy So good lookin' He's so shy And he's really got me goin' That sweet little boy who caught my eye He's so shy I'm so glad I got to know him He's so shy 'Cos he's one in a million And I'll love him 'til the day I die Oh, yes I will
Now holding him gently through the night Nothin' has ever felt so right And I'm so glad I took the time That I had to take to make him mine
He can still do things to my heart Just like he could right from the start Each time I see That quality That never stops attracting me
He's so shy That's why I love my baby He's so shy You know he's drivin' me crazy That sweet little boy who caught my eye He's so shy I'm so glad I got to know him He's so shy And I'm so glad I got to show him That I'll love him until the day I die Oh, yes I will
He's so shy Oooh-wee, oooh-wee, baby He's so shy Oooh-wee, oooh-wee, baby He's so shy And that's why. . .
He's So Fine Composer(s): Ronnie Mack Performer(s): The Chiffons
He's so fine Wish he were mine That handsome boy over there The one with the wavy hair I don't know how I'm gonna do it But I'm gonna make him mine Be the envy of all the girls It's just a matter of time He's a soft-spoken guy Also seems kind of shy Makes me wonder if I Should even give him a try But then again he can't shy He can't shy away forever And I'm Gonna make him mine If it takes me forever He's so fine Got to be mine Sooner or later I hope it's not later We've got to get together The sooner the better I just can't wait I just can't wait To be held in his arms If I were a Queen And he asked me to leave my throne I'd do anything that he asked Anything to make him my own For he's so fine So fine So fine
