One Hello


One Hello
Composer(s): Marvin Hamlish; Carole Bayer Sager
Performer(s): Randy Crawford;
Gladys And The Boxers; Pops Fernandez



If you're not afraid
Of what love brings
Then endings are beginnings
Are beautiful things
Its a chance you'll take
It's a chance you'll win
If someone gonna find you
First you gotta let them in

Coz love begins with one hello
The hardest part is over
Now its easy letting go
One hello is how it starts
You might really love or lose your heart

If you're not afraid
Of what you feel
Then try and keep it simple
Or try and keep it real
And if being real means
You'll some day say goodbye
Remember my friend
Goodbyes not the end
Its a circle you'll learn
And it starts with one hello

Love begins with one hello
The hardest part is over
Now it's easy letting go
One hello is how it starts
Remember my friend
Goodbyes not the end
Its a circle you know
And it starts with one hello
It starts with one hello

Maanlicht


Maanlicht
English & French Titles: Memory; Nos Souvenirs
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber; Trevor Nunn
Performer(s): Ann De Winne
(Originally performed by: Elaine Paige)



Maanlicht, wend je blik naar het maanlicht
Volg de stem van je dromen
Wees bereid, laat je gaan
Vind je eenmaal de zin van wat geluk ook weer is
Een nieuw leven breekt dan aan

Maanlicht, heel alleen in het maanlicht
Droom ik hoe het voorbij vloog
Oh, hoe mooi was ik toen
Nooit vergeet ik de tijd dat ik geluk nog begreep
Ach, die tijd weer overdoen

As en walm van avondrook
De ochtendnevel huivert
Er dooft een lamp
Alweer een nacht ten einde
Alweer een nieuwe morgen

Daglicht, op de zon moet ik wachten
Aan een nieuw leven denken
Ik moet sterk zijn, vol kracht
Als het licht wordt zal deze nacht herinnering zijn
En begint een nieuwe dag

As en walm van avondrook
De ochtendnevel huivert
Er dooft een lamp
Alweer een nacht ten einde
Alweer een nieuwe morgen

Streel me
Laat me niet meer alleen zijn
Met wat ik me herinner van mijn tijd in de zon
Raak me aan en dan weet je wat geluk ook weer is
Kijk, een nieuwe dag begon

One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart)


One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart)
Composer(s): Eddie Dean; Dearest Dean; Hal Blair
Performer(s): Eddie Dean;
and various other artists



One has my name, the other has my heart
With one I'll remain, that's how my heartaches start
One has brown eyes, the other's eyes are blue
To one I am tied, to the other I am true

One has my love, the other only me
But what good is love to a heart that can't be free
So I'll go on livin' my life just the same
While one has my heart, the other has my name

One has my name, the other has my heart
With one I'll remain, that's how my heartaches start
One has brown eyes, the other's eyes are blue
To one I am tied, to the other I am true

One has my love, the other only me
But what good is love to a heart that can't be free
If I could live over, my life I would change
The one who has my heart would also have my name

Memory


Memory
Dutch & French Titles: Maanlicht; Nos Souvenirs
Composer(s): T.S. Eliot; Andrew Lloyd Webber; Trevor Nunn
Originally performed by: Elaine Paige
Covered by various other artists



Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet
and the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters and soon it will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life and I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too and a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
the stale, cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies, another night is over
another day is dawning

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
all alone with a memory of my days in the sun
If you touch me I'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun

One Hand, One Heart


One Hand, One Heart
Composer(s): Leonard Bernstein; Stephen Sondheim
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick;
and various other artists



Make of our hands one hand
Make of our hearts one hart
Make of our bows one last bow
Only death will part us now

Make all our lives one life
Day after day, one life
Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart
Even death won't part us now

With this heart I will sing to you
Long as the stars have lost their glow
And with these hands I'll provide for you
Should there be a stormy sea
I'll turn the tide for you

With one hand, one heart
One hand and one heart
Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart
Even death won't part, part us now

Memories Of You


Memories Of You
Composer(s): Andy Razaf; Eubie Blake
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney



Waking skies at sunrise, evry sunset too
Seems to be bringing me memories of you
Here and there, ev'rywhere, scenes that we once knew
And they all just recall memories of you

How I wish I could forget those happy yesteryears
That have left a rosary of tears

Your face beams in my dreams, in spite of all I do
And ev'rything seems to bring memories of you

One Good Reason (Gary Moore)


One Good Reason
Composer(s): Gary Moore
Performer(s): Gary Moore



Take me out of here
This place is gettin' much to small
Make me disappear
vanish through the nearest wall

Give me one good reason why I should stay
Give me one good reason to go on this way
Give me one good reason why I should stay with you
with you

Take me out of here
This place is closing in on me
Make it disappear
somewhere else I wanna be

Give me one good reason why I should stay
Give me one good reason to go on this way
Give me one good reason why I should stay with you
with you
How, yeah

Give me one good reason why I should stay
Give me one good reason to go on this way
Give me one good reason why I should stay with you
with you, with you

Take me out of here

Memories In Gold


Memories In Gold
Composer(s): Ken Barnes; Pete Moore
Performer(s): Frankie Laine



Those melodies that reach across the years
Have underscored our laughter and our tears
With every phrase we see the past unfold
Like memories in gold

Some tunes remind us of our childhood days
The Sunday afternoons and songs of praise
Reflecting happy times and joys untold
These memories in gold

From those early nurs'ry rhymes to our adolescent times
We'd find more favourites as we went along
How could we go wrong with a special song
That would always see us through

Our lives without them might be cold and bleak
A favourite song says more than words can speak
They helped me win your love to have and hold
Sweet Memories in gold

(When the band played rock and roll)
(And the people called it soul)
(Our favourite songs were like a tapestry)
Etched in melody, they will always be
Part of you and part of me

There's little more to add when songs are sung
The words and music help keep us young
And so we're not afraid of growing old
With memories, let's hear them please
Sweet memories in gold

One Good Love


One Good Love
Composer(s): Neil Diamond; Gary Nicholson
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



It took a while for me to know
What I was looking for
And ev'ry heart I've ever known
Just left me wanting more

One good love can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
And lead it back to solid ground
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
When all you really need to find
Is one good love

I followed all life's pleasures
Wherever they would lead
But someone I can treasure
Is all I really need

One good love can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
And lead it back to solid ground
One good love can take you to the light
With just one touch you can forget
A thousand empty nights
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
When all you really need to find
Is one good love

Memories At The Window


Memories At The Window
Composer(s): Black Oak Arkansas
Performer(s): Black Oak Arkansas



I went to the window
To look for some memories we had
But it seemed that the window
Had lost all its meaning
That's sad

I gazed thru the window
But things didn't look like before
For the things I used to see
I know I'll see them no more

Some things may seem
So unimportant and small
But to the one's who love them most
Like the trees they are tall
For it was there that i first saw
The things I most wanted in life
And to see them again would
Now woman if you want me
Then I'll want you
I'll want you

Woman if you'll have me
Then I'll have you
I'll have you

I went to the window
To look for some memories we had
But it seemed that the window
Had lost all its meaning
That's sad
I gazed thru the window
But things didn't look like before
For the things I used to see
I know I'll see them no more

One Friend


One Friend
Composer(s): Dan Seals
Performer(s): Dan Seals



I always thought you were the best
I guess I always will
I always felt that we were blessed
And I feel that way, still
Sometimes we took the hard road
But we always saw it through
If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you

Sometimes the world was on our side
Sometimes it wasn't fair
Sometimes it gave a helping hand
Sometimes we didn't care
'Cause when we were together
It made the dream come true
If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you

Someone who understands me
And knows me inside out
And helps keep me together
And believes without a doubt
That I could move a mountain
Someone to tell it to
If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you

'Cause when we were together
It made the dream come true
If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you

Someone who understands me
And knows me inside out
And helps keep me together
And believes without a doubt
That I could move a mountain
Someone to tell it to
If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you

Zo mooi, mooi was die tijd
Zo mooi, mooi was die tijd

'k Zit te dromen op een strand
Ver, zo ver mijn vaderland
Geen kus, geen groet
Geen hart, geen moed
De zee die is zo wijd, zo wijd
'k Wil bij mijn vrienden zijn
En proeven van de wijn
Rozen die bloeien in de tuin
Het gras is altijd groen
Waar is die eerste zoen
Elk beeld vervaagt met de tijd

Harde jaren, weinig loon
Alles wordt zo heel gewoon
Geen kus, geen groet
Geen hart, geen moed
De zee die is zo wijd, zo wijd
'k Wil bij mijn vrienden zijn
En proeven van de wijn
Rozen die bloeien in de tuin
Het gras is altijd groen
Waar is die eerste zoen

Aan de hemel staat een ster
En die wenkt van ver, heel ver
'k Verwijt met spijt
De pijn, de tijd
De zee die is zo wijd, zo wijd
'k Wil bij mijn vrienden zijn
En proeven van de wijn
Rozen die bloeien in de tuin
Het gras is altijd groen
Waar is die eerste zoen
Elk beeld vervaagt met de tijd...

Heimweh (aka Brennend Heißer Wüstensand)
Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson; Richard Dehr; Frank Miller

(sweet, sweet memories you gave-a me
you can't beat the memories you gave-a me)

Take one fresh and tender kiss
Add one stolen night of bliss
One girl, one boy
Some grief, some joy
Memories are made of this

Don't forget a small moonbeam
Fold in lightly with a dream
Your lips and mine
Two sips of wine
Memories are made of this

Then add the wedding bells
One house where lovers dwell
Three little kids for the flavour
Stir carefully through the days
See how the flavour stays
These are the dreams you'll savour

With His blessings from above
Serve it generously with love
One man, one wife
One love through life
Memories are made of this
Memories are made of this

One For The Money


One For The Money
Composer(s): Travis Edmonson
Performer(s): The Hootenanny Singers & The Highway Men



One for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
And four to go

I have travelled all over this land
And one sad thing I do find
When the wide road calls
You must leave friends and all
Leaving a song behind
For a while
Leaving a song behind

One for the money -- sing for a penny
Two for the show -- any song that I know
Three to get ready -- wide road is pretty
And four to go
And four to go

Some value money
And some value fame
Some value women and wine
But a song and a friend
'Round each turn of the bend
Are riches I'd rather were mine
Anytime
Riches I'd rather were mine

One for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
And four to go

Now I am gone
May my wish linger on
Its echo fall soft on your ear
May your riches increase
May you all live in peace
And happiness grow every year
My friend
Happiness grows every year

One for the money -- sing for a penny
Two for the show -- any song that I know
Three to get ready -- wide road is pretty
And four to go
It's been good to know you
And four to go
A long, long way to go

Memories (Leonard Cohen)


Memories
Danish Title: Minder
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen; Phil Spector
Originally performed by: Leonard Cohen



Frankie Laine, he was singing Jezebel
I pinned an Iron Cross to my lapel
I walked up to the tallest and the blondest girl
I said, Look, you don't know me now but very soon you will
So won't you let me see
I said "won't you let me see"
I said "won't you let me see
Your naked body?"

Just dance me to the dark side of the gym
Chances are I'll let you do most anything
I know you're hungry, I can hear it in your voice
And there are many parts of me to touch, you have your choice
Ah but no you cannot see
She said "no you cannot see"
She said "no you cannot see
My naked body"

So We're dancing close, the band is playing Stardust
Balloons and paper streamers floating down on us
She says, You've got a minute left to fall in love
In solemn moments such as this I have put my trust
And all my faith to see
I said all my faith to see
I said all my faith to see
Her naked body

One For Sorrow


One For Sorrow
Performer(s): Dorothy Squires



One for sorrow, two for joy
Three for a letter and four for a boy
Five for silver, six for gold
Seven for a secret that’s never been told

Do you remember, as a child, looking up into the sky
Counting blackbirds on the wing and the song we used to sing?

One for sorrow, two for joy
Three for a letter and four for a boy
Five for silver, six for gold
Seven for a secret that’s never been told

On the day you left me, came blackbird number one
Bringing me the sorrow and took away the sun
I searched the sky, that lonely sky
For two or three or four
For joy a letter would bring to me
From the boy who I adore

One for sorrow, two for joy
Three for a letter and four for a boy

You left me over things I said
You know my love is true
And five would turn my darkest clouds
Into a silver dew

Today I saw six blackbirds
Flying on their way
A lonely blackbird joined them
And they seemed to say

Five for silver, six for gold
Seven for a secret that’s never been told

You’re coming back to me my love
With a band of gold
And then I’ll share a secret
A secret I’ve never told

One for sorrow, two for joy
Three for a letter and four for a boy
Five for silver, six for gold
Seven for a secret that’s never been told

Memories (Elvis Presley)


Memories
Composer(s): Bill Strange; Mac Davis
Originally performed by: Elvis Presley
Covered by various other artists



Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine

Quiet thought come floating down
And settle softly to the ground
Like golden autumn leaves around my feet
I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories
Sweet memories

Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilight trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days with you

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine
Memories, memories, sweet memories

One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)


One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)
Composer(s): Harold Arlen; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



It's quarter to three
there's no one in the place except you and me
So, set 'em up, Joe I got a little story you ought to know
We're drinking, my friend to the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby and one more for the road
I got the routine so drop another nickel in the machine
I'm feeling so bad, wish you'd make the music pretty and sad
Could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your code
So, make it one for my baby and one more for the road
You'd never know it but buddy, I'm a kind of poet
And I got a lot of things to say
And when I'm gloomy, you simply got to listen to me
Till it's all talked away
Well that's how it goes and Joe, I know your getting pretty anxious to close
So, thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear
This torch that I found must be drowned or it soon might explode
So, make it one for my baby and one more for the road
That long, long road

Memories (Bing Crosby)


Memories
Composer(s): Egbert Van Alstyne; Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and various other artists



Round me at twilight come stealing
Shadows of days that are gone
Dreams of the old days revealing
Mem'ries of love's golden dawn

Memories, memories
Dreams of love so true
O'er the sea of memory
I'm drifting back to you

Childhood days, wild wood days
Among the birds and bees
You left me alone, but still you're my own
In my beautiful memories

Sunlight may teach me forgetting
Noonlight brings thoughts that are new
Twilight brings sighs and regretting
Moonlight means sweet dreams of you

Memories, memories
Dreams of love so true
O'er the sea of memory
I'm drifting back to you

Childhood days, wild wood days
Among the birds and bees
You left me alone, but still you're my own
In my beautiful memories
