Covered by multiple other artists



I made a run, I run out yesterday 
Tried to find my mountain hideaway 
maybe next year, maybe no go 

I know you're watching me every minute of the day, yeah 
I've seen the signs and the looks and pictures 
That give your game away, yeah 

There's a dream that strings the road 
With broken glass for us to hold 
and I cut so far before I had to say 

Please, please tell me now 
Is there something I should know? 
Is there something I should say? 
That would make you come my way 
Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show 

People stare and cross the road from me 
And jungle drums they all clear the way for me 
Can you read my mind, can you see in the snow 
and fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door 
Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war 

Please, please tell me now 
Is there something I should know? 
Is there something I should say? 
That would make you come my way 
Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show 

Please, please tell me now 
Is there something I should know? 
Is there something I should say? 
That would make you come my way 

Please, please tell me now 
Is there something I should know? 
Is there something I should say? 
That would make you come my way 

Please, please tell me now 
Can you see what makes me blow? 
Can you see how much I die? 
Every time it passes by 

Please, please tell me now 
What it takes to make you show 
Is there something I should know? 
Is there something I should say?

Night Flight
Composer(s): Jeff Wayne; Paul Vigrass
Performer(s): Justin Hayward



We were two lonely travelers
In the sky that night
Two lonely travelers, high flying
Alone in the night on an endless flight
Killing time with polite conversation
Killing time in your shy hesitating way
Killing time, killing my isolation

Two lonely travelers breaking ice
By opening up a few old back pages

We were two golden eagles in the sky today
Two golden eagles high flying
Who swept through the air
To a secret lair
Flying free slowly wheeling and gliding
Flying free on the sea and the high plateau
Flying free on the breeze without trying

Two lonely travelers breaking ice
By opening up a few old back pages
And letting secrets out of their cages
But wanting to remain perfect strangers

'Cos I was on a night flight
Floating above the world
Yes it was the moonlight
Painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds
High above the world

Yes I was on a night flight 
Lost in a different world
I can see the starlight
Silver a gypsy girl
High above the clouds
High above the world

We were two lonely travelers
In the sky that night
Two lonely travelers, high flying
Alone in the night on an endless flight
Killing time with polite conversation
Killing time in your shy hesitating way
Killing time, killing my isolation

Two lonely travelers breaking ice
By opening up a few old back pages
And letting secrets out of their cages
But wanting to remain perfect strangers

'Cos I was on a night flight
Floating above the world
Yes it was the moonlight
Painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds
High above the world

Yes I was on a night flight 
Lost in a different world
I can see the starlight
Silver a gypsy girl
High above the clouds
High above the world

Yes I was on a night flight
Floating above the world
Yes it was the moonlight
Painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds
High above the world

Yes I was on a night flight
Floating above the world
Yes it was the moonlight
Painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds
High above the world

Yes I was on a night flight

I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire
I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up 
in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames
And when it was all over I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a fire"

Is that all there is, is that all there is 
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to a circus, the greatest show on earth
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
And so I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what, but when it was over
I said to myself, "is that all there is to a circus?

Is that all there is, is that all there is 
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

Then I fell in love, head over heels in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world
We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
We were so very much in love
Then one day he went away and I thought I'd die, but I didn't
and when I didn't I said to myself, "is that all there is to love?"

Is that all there is, is that all there is 
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

I know what you must be saying to yourselves 
if that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all? 
Oh, no, not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment
for I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you
when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my lst breath, I'll be saying to myself

Is that all there is, is that all there is 
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

Listen to the ground
There is movement all around
There is something goin' down
And I can feel it

On the waves of the air
There is dancin' out there
If it's somethin' we can share
We can steal it

And that sweet city woman
She moves through the light
Controlling my mind and my soul
When you reach out for me
Yeah, and the feelin' is bright

Then I get night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

Here I am
Prayin' for this moment to last
Livin' on the music so fine
Borne on the wind
Makin' it mine

Night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

In the heat of our love
Don't need no help for us to make it
Gimme just enough to take us to the mornin'
I got fire in my mind
I got higher in my walkin'
And I'm glowin' in the dark
I give you warnin'

And that sweet city woman
She moves through the light
Controlling my mind and my soul
When you reach out for me
Yeah, and the feelin' is bright

Then I get night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

Here I am
Prayin' for this moment to last
Livin' on the music so fine
Borne on the wind
Makin' it mine

Night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street
From my window I'm staring while my coffee grows cold
Look over there! (Where?)
There's a lady that I used to know
She's married now, or engaged, or something, so I am told

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me
There's something going wrong around here

Tonight's the night when I go to all the parties down my street
I wash my hair and I kid myself I look real smooth
Look over there! (Where?)
Here comes Jeanie with her new boyfriend
They say that looks don't count for much
If so, there goes your proof

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me
There's something going wrong around here

But if looks could kill
There's a man there who's more down as dead
Cause I've had my fill
Listen you, take your hands off her head
I get so mean around this scene

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me
There's something going wrong around here

Night Dreamer
Composer(s): Kurt Elling; Wayne Shorter
Performer(s): Kurt Elling



Lonely the roses of Avondaire
sing as though somebody still may care
They live only for the dream of living
so come follow where
they will take you there

I once was apprenticed
to a man who was living
in the eye if the hurricane
to know despair

He knew all the dreams by heart
just like sailing in a boat of crystal silence
seeing visions
of the world
of life within a life

In a turning
like a burning
came turning
out of everything stirring
and what had begun before

but all wrapped up
in one great godly becoming

Tumbling and fumbling and stumbling
into bumbling and rumbling along

whirling it and swirling it and twirling it and hurling it
and overturning it and burning it again

I shared a whirling dervish out on the side of a hill called metaphore vivace
swinging en route to a nascent solar with the scissored visored blizzard wizard
gizzarding planets and secrets within
like an avatar

While meanwhile
in turnstyling
and spinning over him
spells bespeaking kingdoms in the dark

calling me to yield
knighting me in a field
covered with armies
and with princes
All were signing
cannons shining 
pennants flying

And when he spoke to me he sang
and his words really rang
this child of the knowledge of the beauty of the night

he sang to me of masters passing on
of father after father after father
climbing up into the lotus bloom
upon the tortoise's back

and of grandfathers
who danced through their living a longer time ago
He showed me a palace in time
in which all the talismans from all the zeuses
swing upon a pendulum of secrets
in a circle that remembers
and when asked a question will surrender

every secret key to every hero's message
given to every heart in time
but only known to but a few
or so it seems

When I asked of them
what shall I do to see the god?
They only said
the goldenrod
which grows inside of
every secret dream you dream
while waiting for the god
it's a symbol from the man in the fire
ling you the thing you desire
is a garment that covers the riddle of everything secretly wished for
and of the world of which you are an inheritor

Suddenly the chamber was flooded with light
hurling me skyward like a meteorite

When I fell to earth I saw everything in a blur
I saw that time was accelerating in a curve

and the palace in which I had stood
it was flowing, like lava, on acres of woodland
like a pompei-an mountain volcano
making archipelago and destroying the planet
at fortissimo

bulldozing everything down
to make room for what
was a byzantine
a labarynthine
knotty mess of manifolding passageways
a tangle of confusion 
where the walls made
an asylum of baroque

Like a joke
words were spoken
to provoke me
and to toss me
nude and empty
to the sea

But I would have none of it
I simply turned my back and walked out
of the dreamscape into landscape
like a bedroom
where I heard that

Lonely the roses of solitaire
sing as though somebody still may care
They live only for the dream of living
so come follow where they will take you there
Stay awake - no mistake - dance the dream awake - and awake

Hugo's sikje is ouder dan de nieuwe ministers
Bartje Somers is jonger dan Hugo zijn pijp
André Denys (wijs!)
Hij wordt zelfs beschouwd als Methusalem
Ook Gabriëls moest opzij, hij wordt stilaan wat te rijp

Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer?
Zijn wij plotseling nu rijp voor 't Zilverfonds?
Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer?
Nee wij zijn niet versleten
We gaan bijlange niet met pensioen

De dictatuur van de jeugd, de dictatuur der vernieuwing
Ons grijze haar krijgt geen eerbied meer en geen respect
Denys (wijs!)
Hij werd al 3 keren over 't hoofd gezien
Men wil ministers die wrapper konden zijn op Ketnet

Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer?
Zijn wij plotseling nu rijp voor 't Zilverfonds?
Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer?
Nee wij zijn niet versleten
We gaan bijlange niet met pensioen

In een korte broek
Komen zij naar de wetstraat zestien
Nu is het genoeg… 
Luister goed
Wij zijn lang niet seniel
Zo gaat dat niet, wij zijn nog kwiek
Hey, hey, hey

Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer?
Zijn wij plotseling nu rijp voor 't Zilverfonds?
Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer?
Nee wij zijn niet versleten
We gaan bijlange niet met pensioen

Night Calls
Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
Performer(s): Joe Cocker



The night gang started working
With a mile of southern road
As I watched
I got to thinking
You ain't never coming home
I looked out of nowhere
There was nobody at all
To get me help
To get through to you

I'm here making night calls
Night calls
Making night calls
Night calls
Making night calls
I gave

I tried too hard to reach you
But you must be moving fast
All my hopes about the future
Will just live on
Into the past
You know that it ain't easy
And the twilight starts to fade
Shouldn't you
The chill of the morning
Thinking of the plans we made

Oh, night calls
Making night calls
Let it ring
The night calls
Making night calls
Oh, night calls
Give up those night calls

Is Nothing Sacred
Composer(s): Jim Steinman; Don Black
Performer(s): Meat Loaf



If a love as strong as ours couldn't make it all the way
Can anything make sense at all?
If a love so deep and true couldn't stand the test of time
Then Mount Everest could slide and Jerusalem could fall

Is nothing sacred anymore? Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep when love was worth fighting for?
If we can say goodbye, if we can say goodbye
Is nothing sacred anymore?
If we can say goodbye
Is nothing sacred anymore?

I can hear the final words, every sentance that was said
Don't know what turned our lives around
It doesn't matter who was right, there's no justice in a dream
Never thought that a heart could break without making any sound

Is nothing sacred anymore? Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep when love was worth fighting for?
If we can say goodbye, if we can say goodbye
Is nothing sacred anymore?
(if we can say goodbye) If we can say goobye
Is nothing sacred anymore?

Our love was certain as the dawn, as solid and save as love can be 
(our love was as strong)
Our love was a star to wish upon (aah)
And you though that I'd saved you, could've sworn that you saved me 
(could've sworn that you saved me)

Is nothing sacred anymore? Is forever just another word? (just another word)
Is a promise something people used to keep when love was worth fighting for? 
(fighting for, fighting for)
If we can say goodbye, if we can say goodbye
Is nothing sacred anymore?

Is nothing sacred anymore? Is forever just another word? 
Is a promise something people used to keep when love was worth fighting for?
If we can say goodbye, if we can say goodbye
Is nothing sacred anymore?
(if we can say goodbye) (if we can say goodbye)
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is nothing sacred anymore?.............

It’s a beggar's life, said the queen of Spain
But don’t tell it to a poor man
’Cause he’s got to kill for every thrill
The best he can
Everywhere around me
I see jealousy and mayhem
Because no men have all their peace of mind
To carry them
Well I don’t really care
If it’s wrong or if it’s right
But until my ship comes in
I’ll live night by night

When the joker tried to tell me
I could cut it in this rube town
When he tried to hang that sign on me
I said take it down
When the dawn patrol got to tell you twice
They’re gonna do it with a shotgun
Yes, I’m cashing in this ten-cent life
For another one

Well I ain’t got the heart
To lose another fight
So until my ship comes in
I’ll live night by night

Well I don’t really care
If it’s wrong or if it’s right
But until my ship comes in
I’ll live night by night

Tell me, is it yes

Andy Taylor; John Taylor; Roger Taylor
Performer(s): Duran Duran



Standing on the edge of the quay
No light flashes on the water for me
Fog in my mind darkness in my eyes
Silently screaming for a distant sound

Ripple river yellows
Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night
Listen to the rising water moan

I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat
I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat

Shadows all through me shudder away
Echo me echo me am I alone
Or is the river alive cause it
Echoes me echoes me echoes me

I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat
Waiting, waiting for the nightboat
I'm waiting
I'm waiting waiting for the nightboat
I'm waiting for the nightboat

Is It True What They Say About Dixie?
Composer(s): Irving Caesar; Sammy Lerner; Gerald Marks
Performer(s): Al Jolson
and multiple other artists



Is it true what they say about Dixie? 
Does the sun really shine all the time?
Do the sweet magnolias blossom at ev'rybody's door? 
Do folks keep eating possum 
Till they can't eat no more?

Is it true what they say about Swanee? 
Is a dream by that stream so sublime?
Do they laugh, do they love, like they say in ev'ry song? 
If it's true, that's where I belong

Night And Day
Performer(s): U2



Where the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick
tick of the eye of the
clock
You're standing up
against the wall
Like the drip drip drip
of the rain drops
When the sun shines through
So a voice within me
Keeps revealing you...you

Night and day
You are the one
Only you beneath the moon
And under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, baby
where you are
I think of you
Night and day

Day and night
Why is it so
That this longing for
you follows wherever
I go
In the roaring traffic gloom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day

Night and day
Under the hide of me
Though such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
This torment won't be through
'til you let me spend
my life making love
to you
Day and night
Night and day

Night and day
Under the hide of me
Oh, such a hungry yearning
Burning, burning inside of me
This torment won't be through
'til you let me spend
my life making love
to you

Is It Taboo?
Composer(s): Albert De Bru; Edgar Leslie
Performer(s): Dinah Shore; Artie Shaw



Whether or not you love me
I dare to care
Dreaming is sweet ecstasy
So I aim high

Taboo, it's taboo
To reach out for an angel's affection
But what can I do
When you keep smiling in my direction
Taboo, it's taboo
To exhibit such charms for inspection
Who'll disobey the rule?
Is it taboo to fall in love with you?

Taboo, it's taboo
To exhibit such charms for inspection
Who'll disobey the rule?
Is it taboo to fall in love with you?

Tabooooooooooo!

Night And Day

Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance: Fred Astaire - 1932
Covered by multiple other artists



Like the beat, beat, beat
Of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick, tick, tock
Of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip, drip, drip
Of the raindrops
When the summer show'r is through
So a voice within me
Keeps repeating
You, you, you 

Night and day
You are the one
Only you 
Beneath the moon
And under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter
Darling, where you are
I think of you
Night and day

Day and night 
Why is it so
That this longing for you follows
Where-ever I go?
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day

Night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an 
Oh, such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life
Making love to you
Day and night
Night and day 

Is It Still Over?
Composer(s): Ken Bell; Larry Henley
Performer(s): Randy Travis



Being without you has turned out to be so inconvenient
And wishing I was with you just seems to use up all my time
You've been gone so long that it's hard to recall
Just how the dream went
And all but this broken heart in me I guess is doing fine

Is it still over, are we still through
Since my phone still ain't ringing I assume it still ain't you
I've half a mind to take the time to find somebody new
But I'm not too sure that I'm still over you

That lie that I tried to slip by you
Was told with good intentions
It was just another way to say I love you
And protect you from the truth
Half a pound of cure is surely worth a half an ounce of pure prevention
And trying to explain while I'm insane
Is the hardest thing I've ever tried to do

Is it still over, are we still through
Since my phone still ain't ringing I assume it still ain't you
I've half a mind to take the time to find somebody new
But I'm not too sure that I'm still over you

If I repeat myself it's cause I've nothing else to do
And I'm not too sure that I'm still over you

Night
Composer(s): John Lehman; Ron Miller
Performer(s): Jackie Wilson



Night, here comes the night
Another night to dream about you
Night, each lonely night
The only time I'm not without you

Once more, I feel your kisses
Once more, I know what bliss is
Comes dawn, my darling, you're gone
But you come back into my arms each night

Once more, I feel your kisses
Once more, I know what bliss is
Comes dawn, my darling, you're gone
But you come back into my arms each night

Is It Something You've Got?
Composer(s): Barry Despenza; Carl Wolfolk
Performer(s): Tyrone Davis



Oh when I first said I was leaving
Girl, I didn't think I would have to stay gone so long
Ah but now five weeks have ended
And I just realized that I did you worng
But just think y'all I thought I was a big thing
But apparently she thought not
There must be something that I'm missing
Or is it something that she's got
Oh baby what is that you got now baby

Oh I thought I had your mind right 
Cause this is what you led me to believe
Oh but now I'm the one who's uptight
And baby I'm the one who's got to plead
But just think y'all, I thought I was a big thing
But apparently she thought not
There must be something that I'm missing
Or is it something that she's got
Oh baby what is that you got now baby

All your sweet lovin' baby
Is oh so devastating to a man
Ah but just like black magic baby
I'm no fool but I couldn't understand
But just think y'all I thought I was a big thing
But apparently she thought not
There must be something that I'm missing
Or is it something that she's got
Oh baby what is that you got now 
It makes me wanna cry 
Baby I love you 
Oh baby, oh baby, baby, baby

Nieuwe Liefde, Nieuwe Dromen

Performer(s): Jimmy Frey



Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen
Als een lentewind die stil
Wat muziek maakt in de bomen
Waai je nu doorheen mijn ziel
Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen
Grijs wordt rood, geel en blauw
Kleuren net als regenbogen
En dat komt alleen door jou 

Het geluk is zo mooi als j'er zelf aan bouwt,
Het komt nooit uit zichzelf naar je toe
Na een traan komt weer een lach
Na de nacht een nieuwe dag
Met die zon in je hart
Vergeet je leed en smart
Het regent geluk op je neer 

Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen
Als een lentewind die stil
Wat muziek maakt in de bomen
Waai je nu doorheen mijn ziel
Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen
Grijs wordt rood, geel en blauw
Kleuren net als regenbogen
En dat komt alleen door jou 

Na een traan komt weer een lach
Na de nacht een nieuwe dag
Je bent niet meer alleen
Kijk wat de liefde kan
Het regent geluk om je heen 

Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen
Als een lentewind die stil
Wat muziek maakt in de bomen
Waai je nu doorheen mijn ziel
Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen
Grijs wordt rood, geel en blauw
Kleuren net als regenbogen
En dat komt alleen door jou 

Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen
