If I could have a mountain made of gold and diamonds like the stars above The treasure I would most be longing for would be the treasure of your love
If I could have a silver ship to sail and all the pearls within the sea
Oh I would gladly give them all away if you would give your love to me
The one thing I want no riches can buy A love that is true and you by my side
Don't want a silver ship or gold or pearls or diamonds like the stars above What good would all these treasures be to me without the treasure of your love
The one thing I want no riches can buy A love that is true and you by my side
Don't want a silver ship or gold or pearls, or diamonds like the stars above What good would all these treasures be to me without the treasure of your love
I Never Had It So Good (And Felt So Bad) Composer(s): Eugene Record; Stan McKenney First release by: The Chi-Lites - 1973 Covered by: Walter Jackson - 1973 Lionel Hampton - 1974
Ah, yeah, I felt like a king Standing in front of the judge Because I knew, that whatever went down I would be a free man, yeah
Well, I ran into this friend of mine, just the other day And he told me he had heard about my freedom And that if he ever saw me there were a few things that hed like to say and So he said
"Who would be with you when the flame dies down? Who will you depend on when no one else is around?" I looked at him and said "You know, I like being on the loose" But now, that I think about it, I got to tell the truth
Our day in courts been one year to the day Our first anniversary going our separate ways As I celebrate being free at last Never had it so good, and felt so bad
Went window shopping just this afternoon How she used to want me to take her Saw a silly looking hat she sure would have had Never had it so good, and felt so bad
She don't wait up at night for me, no more I make excuses to the hat-rack by the door My kind of happiness has finally come Bet you know, its kinda sad Never had it so good, and felt so bad (and felt so bad)
When I took a drink, I never heard her complain She never dragged me shopping When I could have watched a ball game The grass is growing tall And I, I'm getting kind of fat Never had it so good, and felt so bad (and felt so bad) Never had it so good, and felt so bad (and felt so bad)
Oh, My Baby, My Baby Oh I got to admit it, that I made a mistake Tell me how much more Can a poor heart take? Never had it so good, and felt so bad
Never had it so good, and felt so bad Never had it so good, and felt
I'm stalking a fan He lives in a high rise block And here I am He shouldn't have turned my rock He's brushing his teeth He doesn't look bad from this far I'm hailing a cab And I'm gonna follow his car Wherever he goes I won't be too far behind Just hanging around Driving him out of his mind Treachery made a monster out of me Treachery made a monster out of me
I'm stalking a fan He used to write all the time How lovely I am He really made me feel fine But how they forget He needed a wake-up call And he will regret Having been so shallow He made me believe That I was some kind of myth So here I am How could he treat me like this?
Treachery made a monster out of me Treachery made a monster out of me Treachery made a monster out of me Treachery made a monster out of me
Wherever he goes I won't be too far behind Just hanging around Driving him out of his mind I'm stalking a fan He's gone to the record store To buy a CD By some other girl not me He's taking her home Getting her out of her box And putting her on And dancing around in his socks
Treachery made a monster out of me Treachery made a monster out of me Treachery made a monster out of me Treachery made a monster out of me
Getting her out of her box Treachery And dancing around in his socks Treachery Treachery And dancing around in his socks Treachery Driving him out of his mind
I Never Had A Chance Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Lew Sherwood and multiple other artists
I never had a chance I thought you cared for me But now I see I never had a chance I never had a chance Though you never told me so Somehow I know I never had a chance
I knew wed have to part For I could always reach your lips But I could never reach your heart My dream about romance ended in a friendly chat But more than that I never had a chance
I guess theres nothing to do and nothing to say But simply go on my way and call it a day I guess Im ready to go right back on my shelf Because at last Ive learned, where youre concerned Ive just been fooling myself
I never had a chance Though you never told me so Somehow I know I never had a chance
My dream about romance ended in a friendly chat But more than that I never had a chance Never had a chance

Ze is zeventien jaar en speelt gitaar Verlegen zingt ze mijn repertoir Zich niet bewust van het gevaar Ik kijk naar haar
Zo'n meisje noemt zich dan een fan Maar weet totaal niet wie ik ben Zingt teksten die ik niet meer ken Met haar lolitastem
Verder niets, er zijn alleen nog een paar dingen Die ik houd omdat geen mens er iets aan heeft Dat zijn mijn goede jeugdherinneringen Die neem je mee zolang je verder leeft
Ik weet waarom ze me vertrouwt Ik ben haar eerste Tellen-scout En als ze zich daar niet aan houdt Dan zit ze fout
Ik ben te oud voor wat je bent Ik ben te oud voor wat je zingt Die onschuld ben ik kwijt
Wat jij daar zingt is al geweest Jij bent de schoonheid, ik het beest Ik kleed je uit
En mijn geluk ging zomaar voor de bijl Maar mijn verdriet kon jou niet zo veel schelen En dat is toch beneden alle peil
Ik ben een Lorelei in travestie Waarop jij je te pletter vaart Mijn ijdelheid heeft jou verleid En jouw gezang is mij niets meer waard
Ik wil je nu, hier op het kleed En hou niet op tot je alles vergeet Ik wil je nu, hier op het kleed En hou niet op tot je alles vergeet
I Never Cried So Much In All My Life Composer(s): Will Haines; Jimmy Harper Performer(s): Gracie Fields
Joe took me to the pictures the other evenin', it was fine They called it The Betrayal, and the actin' was divine It's the best film that they've had for years round at the Hippodrome And it's a good job I took me handkerchief with me when I left home
Oh-oh-oh-oh, it was a lovely picture and I did enjoy it so Oh-oh-oh-oh, I never cried so much in all my life When the villains seized the maiden everybody shouted "oh" Oh-oh-oh-oh, I never cried so much in all my life
He told her that he'd wed her, ha-ha-ha, then enticed her on his yacht And then he got her tied up in a proper sailor's knot Then he kissed her twice, the dirty dog, upon her beauty spot Oh-oh-oh-oh, I never cried so much in all my life
It takes a lot to make me cry but oh dear, when I start And think of what that girl went through I'm like a water cart I see her eyes, I hear her voice at night when I'm in bed And here's a scene I'll never, never get out of me head
As she faced the blinding snow storm and came trudging through the town Oh-oh-oh-oh, I never cried so much in all my life Oh, and when I saw her carrying their baby upside down Oh..., I've never cried so much in all my life
She lingered near the Rose and Crown, the wind was howlin' wild When up the village street, there came the father of her child So she tapped him for a tanner, for a pint of Old and Mild Oh..., I've never cried so much in all me life
The villain called on her one night, she was his one desire, ha-ha yeah And because she wouldn't stand for him, what do you think he did, heh What do you think he did, hah, set the house on fire She rushed towards the window with her face all pale and sad But the villain only laughed ha-ha then walked away, the cad
Oh, she looked so very pitiful upon the window sill Oh I've never cried so much in all my life "Jump, jump" the people shouted, but she sat there calm and still Oh I've never cried so much in all my life
The flames burnt her kimona but she didn't seem to mind Then she slid down a ladder Oh, she did look so refined Till upon a rusty nail she left her underclothes behind Oh I've never cried so much in all my life

Covered by multiple other artists
When an early autumn walks the land and chills the breeze And touches with her hand the summer trees Perhaps you'll understand what memories I own There's a dance pavilion, all shuttered down A winding country lane, all russet brown A frosty windowpane shows me a town grown lonely That spring of ours that started, so April-hearted Seemed made for just a boy and girl I never dreamed, did you, any fall could come in view So early, early Darling, if you care, please let me know I'll meet you anywhere, I miss you so Let's never have to share another early autumn

Eagle When She Flies Composer(s): Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Dolly Parton

She's been there, God knows, she's been there She has seen and done it all She's a woman, she knows how to Dish it out or take it all Her heart's as soft as feathers Still she weathers stormy skies And she's a sparrow when she's broken But she's an eagle when she flies
A kaleidoscope of colors You can toss her around and 'round You can keep her in your vision But you'll never keep her down She's a lover, she's a mother She's a friend and she's a wife And she's a sparrow when she's broken But she's an eagle when she flies
Gentle as the sweet magnolia Strong as steel, her faith and pride She's an everlasting shoulder She's the leaning post of life She hurts deep and when she weeps She's just as fragile as a child And she's a sparrow when she's broken But she's an eagle when she flies
She's a sparrow when she's broken But she's an eagle when she flies Oh, bless her, Lord She's an eagle when she flies

Cant help this feeling Cant help this feeling I cant believe its open for discussion Weve said our goodbyes Ive been a fool not to see the repercussions Youve had in my life Im at the point of no return Ive finally crossed the line Dont want to stop and watch the bridges burn cause I cant stand to see you stay behind
I need your love I want you every way I need your love Cant help this feeling coming back everyday
I stayed around hoping youd discover How much there was to lose I spelled it out, I led you to the water But youre too blind to choose I gave it everything and more to make it Ive waited for so long I saw the chance to run and had to take it But somethings missing and I know its wrong

Ive passed the point of no return And all the tears have dried Dont want to stop and watch the bridges burn cause I keep wishing I was on your side
I need your love I want you every way And I need your love Cant help this feeling
I need your love I want you every way I need your love Cant help this feeling coming back everyday
