Butterfly Dutch Title: Jij Komt Steeds Weer Dichterbij Composer(s): Howard Barnes; Ralph Bernet; Chuck Davidson; Danyel Gérard Originally performed by: Danyel Gérard Covered by various other artists
Fell in love in the wink of an eye With the girl who was called Butterfly She said she loved me so she could not let me go But still I had to say goodbye
Butterfly my Butterfly I'll come home to you one day Butterfly my Butterfly Wait for me don't fly away
Never fly in the heat of the sun Close your wings when the long day is done Stay home and wait for me till I get back And then counting the minutes one by one
Butterfly my Butterfly...
When a man longs to be free He will sail to the end of the sea I won't be gone too long but while I travel on Just close your wings and wait for me
Butterfly my Butterfly... Butterfly my Butterfly...

Tu me dis loin des yeux, loin du cur Tu me dis qu'on oublie le meilleur Malgré les horizons, Je sais qu'elle m'aime encore Cette fille que j'avais surnommée
Butterfly, my Butterfly Dans un mois je reviendrais Butterfly, my Butterfly Près de toi je resterais
L'océan c'est petit, tout petit Pour deux curs où l'amour a grandi Malgré ce que tu dis, Tu vois qu'elle m'aime encore Cette fille que j'avais enlacée
Butterfly, my Butterfly Dans un mois je reviendrais Butterfly, my Butterfly Près de toi je resterais
Notre amour est si grand, oui si grand Que le ciel y tiendrait tout dedans Malgré ce que tu dis, Je sais qu'elle m'aime encore Cette fille que j'avais embrassée
Butterfly, my Butterfly Dans un mois je reviendrais Butterfly, my Butterfly Près de toi je resterais
Butterfly, my Butterfly Dans un mois je reviendrais Butterfly, my Butterfly Près de toi je resterais
Butterfly, my Butterfly Dans un mois je reviendrais Butterfly, my Butterfly Près de toi je resterais
Butterfly, my Butterfly Dans un mois je reviendrais Butterfly, my Butterfly Près de toi je resterais
Lightning's Girl Composer(s): Lee Hazlewood Performer(s): Nancy Sinatra; Lydia Lunch
I've told you that I'm Lightning's girl But you keep hanging 'round If Lightning ever catches you He's got to put you down About six feet!
Stay away from Lightning's girl And this part of town Stay away from Lightning's girl Or he'll put you down...yeah
Better stop your grooving 'round Another rooster's hen If Lightning ever catches you He's got to do you in In about two minutes!
Stay away from Lightning's girl And this part of town Stay away from Lightning's girl Or he'll put you down
Here comes Lightning down the street While you just stand there talking If I were you I'd start to move And tell my story walking About a hundred miles an hour!
Stay away from Lightning's girl And this part of town Stay away from Lightning's girl Or he'll put you down
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Butterfly Composer(s): Bernie Lowe; Kal Mann Performer(s): Andy Williams and various other artists

You treat me mean, you're makin' me cry I've made up my mind to tell you goodbye But I'm no good without you, you butterfly

Lightning Express Composer(s): Bradley Kincaid Performer(s): The Everly Brothers and multiple other artists
The Lightning Express from the depot so grand Had started out on its way All of the passengers that were on board Seemed to be happy and gay But one little boy, who sat by himself was reading a letter he had You can plainly tell by the look on his face that the contents of it made him sad
The stern old conductor then started his round taking tickets from everyone there And finally reaching the side of the boy he gruffly demanded his fare 'I have no ticket,' the boy then replied 'but I'll pay you back, someday' 'Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make' but he stopped when he heard the boy say
'Please Mr. Conductor, don't put me off of this train The best friend I have in this world, sir is waiting for me in pain Expecting to die any moment, sir and may not live through the day I want to reach home and kiss mother goodbye Before God takes her away'
A girl, sitting near, was heard to exclaim 'If you put him off, it's a shame!' Taking his hat, a collection she made The boy's way was paid on the train 'I'm obliged to you, miss for your kindness to me' 'You're welcome,' she said, 'never fear' Each time the conductor would pass through the car The boy's words would ring in his ear
'Please Mr. Conductor, don't put me off of this train The best friend I have in this world, sir is waiting for me in pain Expecting to die any moment, sir and may not live through the day I want to reach home and kiss mother goodbye
Butterflies In The Rain Composer(s): Sherman Myers; Erell Reaves Performer(s): Ray Noble & Al Bowlly and various other artists
When the rain is pattering helter skelter And the butterflies are caught out in the rain Leafy hollyhocks would murmur come and shelter Until the rainbow shines again
In the heart of every roses apron From the pitter patter pitter pat refrain There's protection from the showers From the sympathetic flowers For the butterflies in the rain
Pretty things, you'll have to fold your wings Waiting for the bright and placid sun showers `Neath the broad protection of the sunflowers Gone the rain, the sky is clear again You can carry on your sweet flirtation With every blushing rose
Lightnin' Strikes Composer(s): Lou Christie - Twyla Herbert First release by: Lou Christie - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
Listen to me, baby, you got to understand You're old enough to know the makings of a man Listen to me, baby, it's hard to settle down Am I asking too much for you to stick around
Every boy wants a girl He can trust to the very end Baby, that's you Won't you wait but 'til then
When I see lips beggin' to be kissed (Stop!) I can't stop (Stop!) I can't stop myself (Stop! Stop!)
Lightnin's striking again Lightnin's striking again
Nature's takin' over my one-track mind Believe it or not, you're in my heart all the time All the girls are sayin' that you'll end up a fool For the time being, baby, live by the rules
When I settle down I want one baby on my mind Forgive and forget And I'll make up for all lost time
If she's put together fine and she's readin' my mind (Stop!) I can't stop (Stop!) I can't stop myself (Stop! Stop!)
Lightnin's striking again Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again
Lightnin's striking again Lightnin's striking again
There's a chapel in the pines Waiting for us around the bend Picture in your mind Love forever, but 'til then
If she gives me a sign that she wants to make time (Stop!) I can't stop (Stop!) I can't stop myself (Stop! Stop!)
Lightnin's striking again Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again

Eeuwig op zoek naar die vrouw uit mijn droom Die ik nog altijd niet vond Tot ik het beu was - werd ik plots beloond Kwam zij die niet bestond
En ik zei jij jij bent de vrouw naar m'n hart Op jou heb ik gewacht Jij,jij bent zo rechtdoor, zo puur Voor jou ga ik door vuur
Zoals jij praat,zo rechttoe,zo rechtaan Die sproeten op haar neus Lach op haar monden,die ogen zo klaar Niet stout maar ook niet preuts
Dus ik zei jij Jij bent een vrouw naar m'n hart Op jou heb ik gewacht Jij,jij bent zo rechtdoor, zo puur Voor jou ga ik door vuur
Nog geen minuut heb ik spijt van die keer Waarop zij zo plots voor me stond Waar zij voorgoed in mijn leven verscheen En 't geluk voor ons beiden begon
Want ik zei jij Jij bent een vrouw naar m'n hart Op jou heb ik gewacht Jij,jij bent zo rechtdoor, zo puur Voor jou ga ik door vuur
