Tell It Like It Is (Aaron Neville)
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
Mm mm, tell it like it is

My Heart Stood Still
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
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
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
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.

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

Oh, how much I love
Oh, how much I need her

((German Version: Dein ist mein ganzes Herz (Richard Tauber) - 1929))
Composer(s): Franz Lehár
Performer(s): Richard Tauber - 1931
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
My heart is yours alone...

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 cœur 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
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
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
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"

Goodness Gracious Me
Goodness Gracious Me
Composer(s): Herbert Kretzmer; David Lee
Performer(s): Peter Sellers & Sophia Loren
Her: Oh doctor, I'm in trouble
Him: Well, goodness gracious me
Her: For every time a certain man
Is standing next to me
Him: Mmm?
Her: A flush comes to my face
And my pulse begins to race
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom
Him: Oh!
Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Him: Well, goodness gracious me
Him: How often does this happen?
When did the trouble start?
You see, my stethoscope is bobbing
To the throbbing of your heart
Her: What kind of man is he
To create this allergy?
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom
Him: Oh!
Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Him: Well, goodness gracious me
Him: From New Delhi to Darjeeling
I have done my share of healing
And I've never yet been beaten or outboxed
I remember that with one jab
Of my needle in the Punjab
How I cleared up beriberi
And the dreaded dysentery
But your complaint has got me really foxed
Her: Oh
Her: Oh doctor, touch my fingers
Him: Well, goodness gracious me
Her: You may be very clever
But however, can't you see
My heart beats much too much
At a certain tender touch
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom
Him: I like it!
Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Him: Well, goodness gracious me
Him: Can I see your tongue?
Her: Aaah
Him: Nothing the matter with it, put it away please
Her: Maybe it's my back
Him: Maybe it is
Her: Shall I lie down?
Him: Yes
Her: Ahhh...
Him: My initial diagnosis
Rules out measles and thrombosis
Sleeping sickness and, as far as I can tell
Influenza, inflammation
Whooping cough and night starvation
And you'll be so glad to hear
That both your eyeballs are so clear
That I can positively swear that you are well
Ja-ja, ja-ja-ja-ja
Her: Put two and two together
Him: Four
Her: If you have eyes to see
The face that makes my pulses race
Is right in front of me
Him: Oh, there is nothing I can do
For my heart is jumping too
Both: Oh, we go boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom
Her: Goodness gracious
Him: How audacious!
Her: Goodness gracious
Him: How flirtatious!
Her: Goodness gracious
Him: It is me
Her: It is you?
Him: Ah, I'm sorry, it is us
Both: Ahhh!

Tell Him
Tell Him
((Czech Version: Toužíš (Helena Vondrácková s Lucií Bílou) - 2005))
Composer(s): Walter Afanasieff - Linda Thompson - David Foster
First release by: Barbra Streisand & Celine Dion - 1997
I'm scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak
If I tremble when I speak
Oooh - what if
There's another one he's thinking of
Maybe he's in love
I'd feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I don't know what to do
I've been there
With my heart out in my hand
But what you must understand
You can't let the chance
To love him pass you by
Should I
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself
Touch him
With the gentleness you feel inside
Your love can't be denied
The truth will set you free
You'll have what's mean to be
All in time you'll see
I love him
Of that much I can be sure
I don't think I could endure
If I let him walk away
When I have so much to say
I'll
Love is light that surely glows
In the hearts of those who know
It's a steady flame that grows
Feed the fire with all the passion you can show
Tonight love will assume its place
This memory time cannot erase
Blind faith will lead love where it has to go
Never let him go

My Heart Is Empty
My Heart Is Empty
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico
"My heart is empty
But the songs I sing
Are filled with love for you"
A man said that to me
That's how I know
Sometimes love it does not show
Sometimes it does not even know
There is no witness to my anger
When it stabs until he dies
I am looking for the strangler
To help me, help me with my crime
Show me the way to warning
Warning for the morning light
I will stab it with a knife
The blinding sun
The heartbeat for the time to come
The honesty
That lies to you
My heart is empty
But the songs I sing
Are filled with love for you

Good For Nothin' Joe
Good For Nothin' Joe
Composer(s): Ted Koehler; Rube Bloom
Performer(s): Lena Horne;
and various other artists
It's gonna rain any minute
There's not a star in sight
Things are mighty slow
I guess I'll close up shop
And go home to Joe
I know he won't be glad to see me
Without a penny to the good
But I'm not carin' much what happens
I did the best I could
He's just good-for-nothin' Joe
But, oh, I love him so!
Guess I'd die if good-for-nothin' Joe
Ever tried to leave me flat
Oh, yes, I'm certain of that!
Folks I know can't understand
Why I must have that man
Lord, he sends me like nobody can
Ain't a woman just like that!
I wouldn't mind doin' what I'm doin'
I'd beat these streets till my feet were sore
But when it's slow and I go home to him
Instead of sympathy, he's just as mean as can be!
Still, there's nothin' I can do
Because I love him so
I'd be good for nothin', too, I know
Without good-for-nothin' Joe
I'd be good for nothin', too, I know
Without good-for-nothin' Joe
I'm goin' home to Joe
