Als Je Slaapt ((Adapted from: Longer (by Dan Fogelberg) - 1979)) Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg - Belinda Meuldijk Performer(s): Rob de Nijs - 1983
Als je slaapt kan ik uren naar je kijken Ik heb jou dan zo ademloos lief Zo ver weg dat geen mens je kan bereiken Droom van mij alsjeblieft
Nu zie ik met het maanlicht op ons beiden Schaduw daar waar de eenzaamheid wacht Woorden die 'k overdag niet goed kan vinden Fluister ik elke nacht
Jouw hand even op de mijne Mijn stem als jij het niet meer weet Wij zijn vriendjes voor het leven En daarna
Maar voor nu wil ik nachtwacht over jou zijn Voel ik zelfs iets voor eeuwige trouw Elke dag, elke toekomst, ieder einde Droom maar, ik hou van jou
Als je slaapt kan ik uren naar je kijken Ik heb jou dan zo mateloos lief Zo dichtbij, maar geen mens kan je bereiken Droom alsjeblieft van mij Droom alsjeblieft van mij

Long, Long Way To Go Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins
While I sit here trying to think of things to say Someone lies bleeding in a field somewhere So it would seem we've still got a long, long way to go I've seen all I want to see today While I sit here trying to move you anyway I can Someone's son lies dead in a gutter somewhere And it would seem that we've got a long, long way to go But I can't take it anymore Turn it off if you want to Switch it off it will go away Turn it off if you want to Switch it off or look away While I sit and we talk and talk and we talk some more Someone's loved one's heart stops beating in a street somewhere So it would seem we've still got a long, long way to go, I know I've heard all I want to hear today Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to) Switch it off it will go away (switch it off it will go away) Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to) Switch it off or look away (switch it off or look away) Switch it off Turn it off
Been another blue day without you girl Been another sad summer song I've been thinking about you girl All night long
Been another sad tear on my pillow Been another memory to tell me you're the one girl I've been thinking about you girl All night long
Sad sweet dreamer It's just one of those things you put down to experience Sad sweet dreamer It's just one of those things you put down to experience
(Ooh-wah-wah ooh-wah-wah ooh) Been another long night and I've missed you girl (Ooh-wah-wah ooh-wah-wah ooh) Been another story from those endless magazines (Ooh-wah-wah ooh-wah-wah ooh) Can't help thinking about you girl All night long
Sad sweet dreamer It's just one of those things you put down to experience Sad sweet dreamer It's just one of those things you put down to experience
Was so happy when I found you But how was I to know? That you would leave me walking down that road.....
Been another hard luck story Been another man who thought that he was oh so strong I've been thinking about you girl All night long

Long Way To Hollywood Composer(s): Steve Young Performer(s): Steve Young; Hank Williams
Babe, I hate to leave you down here In this one horse town Where the trains run through your early dreams Just to leave an old wailing sound ...
Oh but I'll come back I will return Honey, won't you wait for me? I'm bound to travel the USA Across the desert to the sea
('Cause) I've got another song about the south It's white and it's black There ain't no banjo on my knee But that song's on my back
It's a long long way to Hollywood And a short change for fame All them slicks talk about downhome But I know that's a southern game
It's a long long way to Hollywood And a short change for fame All them slicks talk about downhome But I know that's a southern game
I've got another song for all the old people Down in the Georgia night I know their wings are heavy They been on a lonesome flight
All the old depression people I know they took a heavy load All their children, my kinfolk's and cousins Still walking on Tobacco Road
Well they still talk about Hank Williams Clinging unto his fame Hey, I'm of the same race, I'm from the same place I got the same lonesome blood in my veins
It's a long long way to Hollywood And a short change for fame All them slicks talk about downhome But I know that's a southern game ...
(I've Lost You) So Why Should I Care Composer(s): Richard Howard Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
The beautiful story is ended Our wonderful romance is through And I might have known it was only a dream For it all seemed too good to be true For the wrongs that we do we must suffer And that's just the reason we met You came that I might make atonement Through you I must pay ev'ry debt
We bring nothing in the world with us We can take nothing out when we go So why should we care if we live or we die When our gladness is turned into woe I'll be glad when my sad life is over When they lay me away to my rest For while I must live broken hearted The worst can be only the best
Oh why should I care what becomes of me now I had nothing to live for but you Oh why should I care if I fall by the way When I know that no longer you're true My sorrow is sending me down to my grave 'T is greater than I can bear If they bar me away, from heaven some day I've lost you so why should I care
Long Way Back To Love Composer(s): Ben Peters Performer(s): Roy Drusky
Once I tried to tell you that some day his love would end You just said it's none of mine concern Now that it's all over you reach out for me again Back across the bridges we have burned
But it's a long way back to love Even though we're just a step apart It's a long way back to love All the way back through a broken heart
I didn't think that I could take it when you walked away But somehow I made it all alone Since you've left I've spent the most of ev'ry night and day Gettin' used to knowin' you were gone
And it's a long way back to love Even though we're just a step apart It's a long way back to love All the way back through a broken heart
It's a long way back to love Even though we're just a step ...

Down came the manager to fix up the mess took the small boy aside (Manager) Come on now lad, let's have your name and address With a lungful of air he replied...
I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa I've lost my mummy I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa I've lost my mummy! ub, ub hup ub hup hup ub hup hup ub
Well just then his mother appeared on the spot gave him a hefty whack (Mother) That oughta teach you to go and get lost! and the little boy's voice floated back...

I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face (Dutch & Spanish Versions: Ik Voel Dat Ik Haar Mis (Wim Sonneveld); A Su Mirar Me Acostumbré (Manolo Fabregas)) Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe First performance/First release by: Rex Harrison - 1956 Covered by multiple other artists
Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! I've grown accustomed to her face She almost makes the day begin I've grown accustomed to the tune That she whistles night and noon Her smiles, her frowns Her ups, her downs Are second nature to me now Like breathing out and breathing in
I was serenly independent And content before we met Surely I could always be that way again - and yet I've grown accustomed to her look Accustomed to her voice Accustomed to her face
Marry Freddy What an infantile idea What a heartless, wicked, brainless thing to do But she'll regret it It's doomed before they even take the vow
I can see her now, Mrs. Freddy Eynsford-Hill In a wretched little flat above a store I can see her now, not a penny in the till And a bill collector beating at the door She'll try to teach the things I taught her And end up selling flowers instead Begging for her bread and water While her husband has his breakfast in bed
In a year or so, when she's prematurely grey And the blossom in her cheek has turned to chalk She'll come home and lo He'll have upped and run away With a social-climbing heiress from New York Poor Eliza. How simply frightful! How humiliating! How delightful!
How poignant it'll be on that inevitable night When she hammers on my door in tears and rags Miserable and lonely, repentant and contrite Will I take her in or hurl her to the walls? Give her kindness or the treatment she deserves? Will I take her back or throw the baggage out?
But, I'm a most forgiving man The sort who never could, never would Take a position and staunchly never budge A most forgiving man
But I shall never take take her back If she were even crawling on her knees Let her promise to atone Let her shiver, let her moan I'll slam the door and let the hell-cat freeze!
Marry Freddy, Ha!
But I'm so used to hear her day "Good morning" ev'ry day Her joys, her woes Her highs, her lows Are second nature to me now Like breathing out and breathing in
I'm very grateful she's a woman And so easy to forget, rather like a habit One can always break - and yet I've grown accustomed to the trace Of something in the air Accustomed to her face
