Mijn hart huilt om jou Huilt om jou, huilt om jou Mijn hart vraagt om jou Vraagt alleen om jou
Liefde is een wonder voor iedereen Liefde is een wonder voor jou alleen Het maakt je soms verdrietig Het maakt je blij Het komt en het gaat weer voorbij
Mijn hart huilt om jou Huilt om jou, huilt om jou Mijn hart vraagt om jou Vraagt alleen om jou
Eens zul jij het vinden Heel diep in je hart Het maakt je wat onzeker Het maakt je verward Dan ben je weer verloren Voor lange tijd Liefde kent vreugde en spijt
Mijn hart huilt om jou Huilt om jou, huilt om jou Mijn hart vraagt om jou Vraagt alleen om jou
Mijn hart huilt om jou Huilt om jou, huilt om jou Mijn hart vraagt om jou Vraagt alleen om jou
Goodbye Little Dream, Goodbye Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Barbara Lea; and various other artists
You made my romance sublime Now its time to fly For the stars have fled from the heavens The moons deserted the hill And the sultry breeze that sang in the trees Is suddenly strangely still
Its done, little dream, its done So bid me a fond farewell Weve both had our fun Was it Romeo or Juliet Who said, when about to die? Love is not all peaches and cream Little dream, goodbye
Was it Romeo or Juliet Who said, when about to die? Love is not all peaches and cream Little dream, goodbye

Tell all the people that you see Follow me Follow me down Tell all the people that you see Set them free Follow me down You tell them they don't have to run We're gonna pick up everyone Come out and take me by my hand Gonna bury all our troubles in the sand, oh yeah Can't you see the wonder at your feet Your life's complete Follow me down Can't you see me growing, get your guns The time has come To follow me down Follow me across the sea Where milky babies seem to be Molded, flowing revelry With the one that set them free Tell all the people that you see It's just me Follow me down Tell all the people that you see Follow me Follow me down Tell all the people that you see We'll be free Follow me down Tell all the people that you see It's just me Follow me down Tell all the people that you see Follow me Follow me down Follow me down You got to follow me down Follow me down Tell all the people that you see We'll be free Follow me down Tell all the people you see Follow me You got to follow me down

(And my arms long for you)
(Please come back to me)
If you're in Arizona, I'll follow you
If you're in Minnesota, I'll be there too

Because my love is endless for you

Please come back to me
An unimportant quarrel was what we had
We have to learn to live with the good and bad
Together we were happy, apart we're sad
This loneliness is driving me mad
My heart cries for you
Sighs for you, dies for you
And my arms long for you
Please come back to me
Please come back to me
Please come back, come back, come back to me

Telkens Weer Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot - Ernst Jansz Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Nu lig je naast mij, je slaapt Ik hoor je ademhalen En in het vroege morgenlicht Zie ik voor het eerst je kamer
Je bent zo warm, je bent zo zacht Je arm ligt op m'n schouder Je bent zo lief geweest vannacht Ik heb van je gehouden
En ik wou dat ik je zeggen kon Ik blijf voor altijd bij je Dat ik me van die dwaze drang Naar vrijheid kon bevrijden
Maar het gaat niet
Ik weet dat ik nog jaren Naar je kamer zal verlangen En naar de platen die je draaide Tranen op je wangen
Zoals je naar me luisterde en fluisterde 'ik snap je' Zoals we samen lagen, samen lachten om een grapje Oh, ik wou dat ik nog één keer één zo'n nacht met je kon delen Je armen om heen, je zachte handen die me strelen
Telkens weer denk ik aan je ogen bij het afscheid Telkens weer wil ik bij je zijn Telkens weer denk ik 'ik ga weg en nu voor altijd' En ik weet, het doet je pijn
Je ligt naast me, je slaapt Ik hoor je ademhalen En in het vroege morgenlicht Zie ik weer je kamer
Je bent zo warm, je bent zo zacht Je arm ligt op m'n schouder Je bent zo lief geweest vannacht Ik heb van je gehouden
En ik wou dat ik nog één keer één zo'n nacht met je kon delen Je armen om heen, je zachte handen die me strelen
My Heart Belongs To Me
Composer(s): Alan Gordon
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
I got the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart has gone to sleep
One of these mornin's I'll be gone
My heart belongs to me
Can we believe in fairytales
Can love survive when all else fails
Can't hide the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me
But now my love, hey, didn't I love you
But we knew what had to be
Somehow my love, I'll always love you
But my heart belongs to me
Put out the light and close your eyes
Come lie beside me, don't ask why
Can't hide the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me.
(But now my love, hey didn't I love you)
(Didn't I love you)
(Didn't I love you)
(Didn't I love you, baby)
Don't cry my love, I'll always love you
But my heart belongs to me
I got the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me
(Didn't I love you, didn't I love you)
Goodbye Dolly Gray Composer(s): Will D. Cobb; Paul Barnes Performer(s): J.W. Myers; Big Four Quartet; Harry MacDonough
I have come to say goodbye, Dolly Gray It's no use to ask me why, Dolly Gray There's a murmur in the air, you can hear it everywhere It is the time to do and dare, Dolly Gray
Don't you hear the tramp of feet, Dolly Gray Sounding through the village street, Dolly Gray 'Tis the tramp of soldiers' true in their uniforms so blue I must say goodbye to you, Dolly Gray
Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, though it breaks my heart to go Something tells me I am needed at the front to fight the foe See, the boys in blue are marching and I can no longer stay Hark, I hear the bugle calling, Goodbye Dolly Gray
Hear the rolling of the drums, Dolly Gray Back from war the regiment comes, Dolly Gray On your lovely face so fair, I can see a look of fear For your soldier boy's not there, Dolly Gray
For the one you love so well, Dolly Gray In the midst of battle fell, Dolly Gray With his face toward the foe, as he died he murmured low "I must say goodbye and go, Dolly Gray"
Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, though it breaks my heart to go Something tells me I am needed at the front to fight the foe See, the boys in blue are marching and I can no longer stay Hark, I hear the bugle calling, Goodbye Dolly Gray
Téléphonez-Moi ((Spanish Version: Por Teléfono (Dalida)) Composer(s): Orlando - Bernard Estardy Performer(s): Dalida
Vous croyez que le monde entier S'pend à mon téléphone Que je suis toujours invitée Par un Dieu, par un homme Vous avez peur que je vous dise Désolée ma soirée est prise Et vous me dérangez en pleine vocalise
Vous me voyez comme une star Mais je ne suis qu'une femme Vous savez quelquefois la gloire A fait des bleus à mon âme J'ai envie d'écouter d'autres mots Que ceux qu'on écrit dans les journaux Faîtes mon numéro et jetez-vous à l'eau
Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi Je n'attends que ça J'ai besoin d'une voix Téléphonez-moi dans mon agenda J'ai du temps pour moi Téléphonez-moi
Je ne suis pas une panthère rose Qui griffe et puis qui s'en va Je n'vous aimerais pas over-dose Si vous faîtes le premier pas
Vous m'croyez heureuse et tranquille Mais je suis seule sur mon île Sans vous toute ma vie ne tient qu'à un fil
Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi Je n'attends que ça J'ai besoin d'une voix Téléphonez-moi dans mon agenda J'ai du temps pour moi Téléphonez-moi
Un soir de 31 décembre Dans la vallée des poupées Elle était toute seule dans sa chambre Personne ne l'a appelée
C'était la plus belle fille du monde Elle était riche, elle était blonde Pourtant au dernier coup de minuit Adieu la vie
Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi C'est pas des histoires Avant qu'il soit trop tard Téléphonez-moi les pilules d'espoir J'en prends tous les soirs Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi...

The Sound Of Silence Composer(s): Paul Simon First release by: Simon and Garfunkel - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone Beneath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes where stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People listening without hearing People writing songs that voices never share And no one there Disturbs the sound of silence
Fools, I said, you do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, the words Of the prophets are written On the subway walls and tenement halls And whispered in the sound of silence
My Heart Beat Like A Hammer Composer(s): Jeremy Spencer Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac
I woke up one morning Waking with the rising sun Woke up one morning Awakin' with the rising sun, ahh Thought about my baby Did I just do what she done
Well, I shoulda loved you more I know I didn't treat her right Oh, yes, I shoulda loved you more I know I didn't treat her right I know that a woman needs Rollin' every day and night Oh, yeah
Well, my heart beat like a hammer My eyes plumb full of tears Yes, my heart beat like a hammer My eyes plumb full of tears She's been gone about an hour But it seems like a thousand years
Don't ever dog your woman You know you're gonna ruin yourself Don't ever dog your woman You know you're gonna ruin yourself Know that a woman she'll Run off with somebody else Oh, yeah
Goodbye To Love Composer(s): John Bettis; Richard Carpenter Performer(s): The Carpenters; and various other artists
I'll say goodbye to love No one ever cared if I should live or die Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by And all I know of love is how to live without it I just can't seem to find it
So I' ve made my mind up I must live my life alone And thought it's not the easy way I guees I' ve always known I' d say goodbye to love
there are no tomorrows for this heart of mine Surely time will lose these bitter memories And I'll find that there is someone to believe in And to live for Something I could live for
All the years of useless search Have finally reached an end Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend From this day love is forgotten I'll go on as best I can
What lies in the future is a mistery to us all No one can predict the well of fortune as it falls there may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong But for now this is my song
Telephone Man Composer(s): Meri Wilson Performer(s): Meri Wilson
I rented my apartment on a Monday at one Singin' doo-lolly-lolly, shakey-bum, shakey-bum Started movin' in it on a Tuesday at two Singin' doo-lolly-lolly, shakey-doo, shakey-doo Wednesday at three I called the phone company Singin' hey baby, put a phone in for me Thursday at four he came a-knockin' at my door Singin' "Hey baby, I'm your telephone man You just show me where you want it And I'll put it where I can I can put it in the bedroom I can put it in the hall I can put it in the bathroom I can hang it on the wall You can have it with a buzz You can have it with a ring And if you really want it You can have a ding-a-ling Because, hey baby, I'm your telephone man"
Can you believe that... and then he says... "Now when other fellahs call you Tell 'em how it all began" Well... huh-huh...
My heart began a-thumpin' And my mind began to fly And I knew I wasn't dealing With no ordinary guy So while he was a-talkin' I was thinking up my plan Then my fingers did the walkin' On the telephone man Singin' hey-lolly-lolly, hey-lolly-lolly Hey lolly-lolly, get it anyway you can

My Heart And I Composer(s): Richard Tauber; Tyshena Performer(s): Josef Locke and various other artists
We are in love with you, my heart and I And we are always true, my heart and I When you are far away each smile's a tear But it's a lovely day when you are near Maybe that love is blind when passion rules And that my heart and I are just two fools And yet my darling if you ever say goodbye I know we both should die, my heart and I
Once in a lifetime a love dream comes true Just once in a lifetime or never I met my fate on the day I met you The moment you kissed me I knew Strange fascination seems to fill and hold me Fateful temptation such as no one ever told me Everything I would endure for you Come what may, oh, I'll keep smiling through My heart is yours so you just take it It's only asking not to break it
We are in love with you, my heart and I And we are always true, my heart and I When you are far away each smile's a tear But it's a lovely day when you are near Maybe that love is blind when passion rules And that my heart and I are just two fools And yet my darling if you ever say goodbye I know we both should die, my heart and I
Goodbye Sue Composer(s): Jimmy Rule; Lou Ricca; Jules Loman Performer(s): Perry Como; Benny Goodman
They were standing in a crowded station So unaware Of all the people there! I didn't mean to hear their conversation But anyone could tell It was their last farewell!
Good-bye Sue All the best of luck to you! You've been my only gal What's more, my best pal!
Please don't cry Smile until the clouds roll by! Don't kiss me dear, just walk away Or I could never ever say Good-bye, good-bye Sue!

Telephone Line Composer(s): Jeff Lynne First release by: Electric Light Orchestra - 1976 Covered by multiple other artists
Hello--how are you Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything If you'd pick up that telephone
Hey--how you feelin' Are you still the same Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream I just can't believe They've all faded out of view
I look into the sky And I wonder why
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
O.K. so no--one's answering Well can't you just let it ring a little longer I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night Let it ring for evermore
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains Composer(s): Don Van Vliet Originally performed by: Captain Beefheart
I'll let a train be my feet If it's too far to walk to you If a train don't go there I'll get a jet or a bus Because I'm going to find you You're going to see me shadow soon around you And my head is my only house unless it rains
I walk the meadow plains
Water deserts are my eyes until I find you I won't sleep until I find you I won't eat until I find you My heart won't beat until I wrap my arms around you
My arms are just two things in the way
Until I can wrap them around you You can make my sad song happy Make a bad world good I can feel you out there moving You're mine, I know I'll find you And my head is my only house until I've found you
I hate to have other people hear me sing this song
If this reaches you before I do Follow it to "I love you" That's where I'll find you And my head is my only house until I find you
