My Heart To You Composer(s): Don Williams Performer(s): Don Williams
You give to me what life should be for everyone You're my pepper, you're my salt, my favorite tea You're my sunset on the ocean, my desert dawn So much of you is now a part of me
I know a greater power must have noticed me And decided I would meet someone like you No-one on this planet thought we could ever be Till He gave my heart to you, and yours to me
You've given us our children and a recipe For you and I, love comes naturally My love is somehow different than I'd have it be An' it's workin' on my heart, not into me
So I know a greater power must have noticed me And decided I would meet someone like you No-one on this planet thought we could ever be Till He gave my heart to you, and yours to me

My heart tells me this is just a fling Yet you say our love means everything Do you mean what you are saying Or is this a little game we're playing My heart tells me I will cry again Lips that kiss like yours could lie again If I'm fool enough to see this through Will I be sorry if I do Should I believe my heart or you

Tell It Like It Is ((Dutch Version: Zet Het Licht Op Groen (Paul Anderson) - 1993)) Composer(s): Lee Diamond - George Richard Davis First release by: Aaron Neville - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
If you want something to play with Go and find yourself a toy Baby my time is too expensive And I'm not a little boy
If you are serious Don't play with my heart it makes me furious But if you want me to love you Then baby I will, girl you know I will
Tell it like it is Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide But I-I-I-I-I know deep down inside of me I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride
Life is too short to have sorrow You may be here today and gone tomorrow You might as well get what you want So go on and live, baby, go on and live
Tell it like it is I'm nothin' to play with, go and find yourself a toy But I-I-I-I-I Tell it like it is My time is too expensive And I'm not your little boy
My Heart Stood Still Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Lorenz Hart Originally performed by: Jessie Matthews Covered by various other artists
I took one look at you That's all I meant to do And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk My lips could move and talk And yet my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken I could tell you knew That unfelt clasp of hands Told me so well you knew I never lived at all Until the thrill of that moment When my heart stood still
I took one look at you That's all I meant to do And then my heart stopped right there
My feet could step and walk My lips could move and talk And yet my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken I could tell you knew That unfelt claps of hands Told me so well you knew I never lived at all Until the thrill of that moment When my heart stood still
Goodnight Children Everywhere Composer(s): Gabriel Rogers; Harry Phillips Performer(s): Vera Lynn; Joe Loss; Harry Roy; Sixpence None The Richer
Sleepy little eyes in a sleepy little head Sleepy time is drawing near In a little while, you'll be tucked up in your bed Here's a song for baby, dear
Goodnight, children, everywhere Your Mummy thinks of you tonight Lay your head upon your pillow Don't be a kid or a weeping willow
Close your eyes and say a prayer And surely you can find a kiss to spare Tho you are far away, she's with you night and day Goodnight, children, everywhere.
Soon the moon will rise and caress you with its beams While the shadows softly creep With a happy smile, you'll be wrapped up in your dreams Baby will be fast asleep
Goodnight, children, everywhere Your Mummy thinks of you tonight Lay your head upon your pillow Don't be a kid or a weeping willow
Close your eyes and say a prayer And surely you can find a kiss to spare Tho you are far away, she's with you night and day Goodnight, children, everywhere
Tell It All Brother Composer(s): Alex Harvey Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
Tell it all brother, before we fall Tell it all brothers and sisters Tell it all
How much you're holding back on me When you say you're giving all? And in the dungeons of your mind Who you got chained to the wall?
Tell it all brother, before we fall Tell it all brothers and sisters Tell it all
Did you plant your feet on higher ground To avoid life's mud and stone? Did you ever kick a good man When he was down, just to make yourself feel strong?
Tell it all brother, before we fall Tell it all brothers and sisters Tell it all
Tomorrow just might be too late Now is the time To get your jumbled mind straight And seek a new design
Did you ever walk for a crippled man Pretending you were lame? And what made you think one feeble hand to God Was gonna make him call your name?
Tell it all brother and sisters Tell, Tell it all Tell it all brother, before we fall Tell it all brothers and sisters, tell Tell it all brother, before we fall Tell it all...
My Heart Reminds Me (aka And That Reminds Me) Composer(s): Camillo Bargoni; Al Stillman Performer(s): Kay Starr and various other artists
I hear the sound of music Your favorite kind of music And that reminds me, Dear, of you
I see the summer roses Your favorite shade of roses And that reminds me too of you, Dear
If I could hear no music If there could be no roses No summer nights to make me dream as I do I still would not forget you One thing would still be true My heart reminds me I love you
If I could hear no music If there could be no roses No summer nights to make me dream as I do I still would not forget you One thing would still be true My heart reminds me I love you
Goodnight Baby Composer(s): Steve Cropper; David Porter Performer(s): Sam & Dave
Goodnight baby You know I hate to leave you now Keep on bein' my lady And I'll see you tomorrow somehow Right now it's-a good night baby, baby goodnight Sweet dreams baby, won't you keep me on your mind
Bridge: Every time I turn to walk away I feel the power of love comin' on The look in your eyes seems to tell you You feel the same way after I'm gone
Hurts to leave you, but... Goodnight baby, baby goodnight And if you wake up feelin' lonely You can call me any time
(repeat bridge)
I'd better get away, say Goodnight baby, baby goodnight I'll go on, baby I know I feel the power of love, etc.

If you ever see the girl for me
Tell her that I love her
Tell her that I care
If she ever needs me
Tell her I'll be there
It happened the other night
We argued but we didn't fight
She grabbed her bag and slammed the door
She hasn't been a-back here no more
If an' how you can see my woman
Tell her that I need her
Tell her she was right
Tell her that I miss her
Oooh, each and every night
I didn't mean a word I said
Tell her I was wrong
And yes, if she'll just listen
Tell her to come back where she belongs
If you ever find that love of mine
Tell her to forgive me
Tell her don't be mean
I didn't mean to start it
I wish it was all just dream
Tell her
Tell her
Oh, how much I love
Oh, how much I need her
How much I love her...

My heart is yours alone! I cannot be without you Like a flower that wilts when unkissed by the sun! My most beautiful song is yours for it is created out of love Tell me once more, my one and only oh tell me once more I love you!
Wherever I am I feel you are near I want to drink your breath and kneel adoringly at your feet yours, yours alone! How wonderful is your shining hair! Dreamy and full of longing is your radiant gaze Your voice is music to my ears

Je n'suis sans doute pas très vieux Mais je connais l'amour Quand une fille te rend malheureux Pleure pas tous les jours Si tu veux qu'elle te voie Et qu'elle s'attache à toi Si tu veux qu'elle ne soit Vraiment rien qu'à toi
Dis-lui que tu l'aimes à la folie Dis-lui que tu l'aimeras pour la vie Dis-lui, dis-lui, oh dis-lui, oui dis-le-lui
Je n'suis sans doute pas très vieux Mais je connais l'amour Si tu veux enfin être heureux Sors donc au grand jour N'attends pas demain Pour crier cet amour Prends-la par la main Sans plus de détour et
Dis-lui que tu l'aimes à la folie Dis-lui que tu l'aimeras pour la vie Dis-lui, dis-lui, oh dis-lui, oui dis-le-lui
Moi aussi tout comme toi J'ai longtemps hésité Mais l'amour a gagné Car mon cur ne savait pas Jusqu'à ce beau jour Où oui! Oui on m'a dit: oh toi!
Je n'suis sans doute pas très vieux Mais je connais l'amour Si une fille te rend malheureux Pleure pas tous les jours Si tu veux qu'elle te voie Et qu'elle s'attache à toi Si tu veux qu'elle ne soit À toi, rien qu'à toi
Dis-lui que tu l'aimes à la folie Dis-lui que tu l'aimeras pour la vie Dis-lui, dis-lui, oh dis-lui, oui dis-le-lui
Oh prends-la par la main Et crie-le-lui Et dis-le-lui À vous les filles de crier maintenant Oh criez donc! Oh criez-lui! Oh prends-la par la main maintenant!
My Heart Is Like A Clock Composer(s): Smokey Robinson; Mary Wells Performer(s): Mary Wells
You broke my heart, and in that moment it stopped Just like a clock that has been dropped I thought that everything was fine And that our love was gonna last And yet we're running out of time Just like the sand in a glass Now every moment seems like an hour Every hour like a day ever since you went away
My heart is running down Just like a clock, it needs to be wound Before it stops And only your kiss can wind it up and make it get started Your kiss can wind it up and make it get started So come on & wind it up before I wind up broken-hearted
My heart is running down Just like a clock, it needs to be wound Before it stops And only your kiss can wind it up and make it get started Your kiss can wind it up and make it get started So come on & wind it up before I wind up broken-hearted
And make it get started, oh oh Don't wanna be broken-hearted, oh oh (Only your kiss can wind it up) ...
Goodnight Composer(s): Bill Dees; Roy Orbison Performer(s): Roy Orbison
My lovely woman child I found you out running wild with someone new You've been untrue And everybody knows we're through But I can't say good-bye to you No matter what you do My heart won't let you go
Although I know you go with someone new I think of you I think of how you kiss Your tenderness, with all of this I miss the way you say goodnight Bittersweet your kisses When my heart still misses The way that things used to be But I know you're strong for other arms you long for And you can never come back to me
Not just for yesterday Tonight or tomorrow Ah, but forever, I'll hear you say goodnight Goodnight, goodnight turned out to be a lie And I can't help it if I cry Goodnight, my love, sleep tight, my love, goodnight
Morgen ((Adapted from: Tell Her (Gil Hamilton) - 1962)) ((French Version: Dis-Lui (Claude François) - 1963)) Composer(s): Bert Russell - Suzy Baels - Robert Mellin Performer(s): Lisa Del Bo - 1996
Eén keer slaap ik nog alleen Dit wordt een lange nacht Ik wou dat het zonlicht al scheen Ik lig te woelen
Uren kruipen voorbij Ik vraag me af of jij Aan me denken zou k Hou zoveel van jou
Morgen zal ik aan je zijde lopen Morgen gaat de hemel voor me open Morgen, morgen Ja, morgen ben ik van jou
Eén keer slaap ik nog alleen En dan lig ik naast jou Eén keer daarna nooit meer alleen Het wordt een sprookje
Uren kruipen voorbij De tijd staat stil voor mij Jij spookt door mijn hoofd Door geluk verdoofd
Morgen zal ik aan je zijde lopen Morgen gaat de hemel voor me open Morgen, morgen Ja, morgen ben ik van jou
Ik zie een ring, een bruidsboeket Ik voel betovering met jou hier aan mijn zijde Ik wil jou beloven schat dat ik jou bekoren zal Jij bent de ware voor mij
Eén keer slaap ik nog alleen Ik slaap niet maar ik droom Over hoe het morgen zal zijn Als jij zal komen
Uren kruipen voorbij De tijd staat stil voor mij k Wil de jouwe zijn Reeds de jouwe zijn
Morgen zal ik aan je zijde lopen Morgen gaat de hemel voor me open Morgen, morgen Ja, morgen ben ik van jou Oh, ik wacht tot morgen
Morgen zal ik aan je zijde lopen Morgen gaat de hemel voor me open Morgen, morgen Ja, morgen ben ik van jou Ja, ik wacht tot morgen
Morgen zal ik aan je zijde lopen Morgen gaat de hemel voor me open Morgen, morgen Ja, morgen ben ik van jou
My Heart Is In Ireland Composer(s): Brian Warfield Performer(s): Wolfe Tones
In the East End of London, I met an old man He kept a bar called the Horses and Tram "My parents were Irish They loved that dear land" The Cockney, he smiled, then he shook my old hand
"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be Her hills and her valleys are calling to me Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland The land of the old folks is calling to me"
Near a coal mine in Wales, by a roadside cafe A young girl came smiling, and to me did say "Well, my folks are from Ireland. My Da', he hopes one day When he leaves the mines, sure we'll go back to stay"
"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be Her hills and her valleys are calling to me Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland The land of the old folks is calling to me" Then I went through the Midlands, through each city and town I found there were Irish in each place I roamed And I drank and I sang at a pub they call the Crown With the Birmingham irish, we sang songs of home
"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be Her hills and her valleys are calling to me Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland The land of the old folks is calling to me"
Then I went north to Scotland, to Glasgow on the Clyde I met with some young lads. They said, "Celtic's our side All our folks are from Ireland, the island of the green A country we love, but a place we've not seen"
"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be Her hills and her valleys are calling to me Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland The land of the old folks is calling to me"
