Forever Again


Forever Again
Composer(s): Dave Kirby; Warren Robb
Performer(s): Gene Watson



I wish I could step out of my mind
Then I could be someone that's never known me
But I can't change the way I am, much less the way you feel
Or you'd be loving me forever still

I can't stop the Winter from turning into Spring
Or Summer giving way to Autumn winds
But if I could take the World and make it face the other way
Then you'd love me forever again

If I had a way of changing time
I'd stay busy turning back the pages
If I could make a miracle, I'd make one just for you
And you'd be loving me forever too

I can't stop the Winter from turning into Spring
Or Summer giving way to Autumn winds
But if I could take the World and make it face the other way
Then you'd love me forever again

You'd love me forever again

Een Witte Eend (Op Het Midden Van De Weg)


Een Witte Eend (Op Het Midden Van De Weg)
((Adapted from: Dead Skunk (Loudon Wainwright III) - 1972))
Composer(s): Loudon Wainwright III - Peter Koelewijn
Performer(s): Ciska Peters & Ronnie Tober - 1974



Ik had een donkerblauwe eend
Bijna afbetaald, de rest geleend
Trots als een aap haalde ik jou op
Voor een feest, een eindje verderop
Vader zei: "Thuis, om elf uur"
Dus, we gingen vroeger weg voor een avontuur
Ik dacht: Ik bloos, als jij me zoent
Maar het ging mooi mis, voor je dat kon doen

Want, er liep een
Witte eend op 't midden van de weg
Een witte eend, op 't midden van de weg
Een witte eend, op 't midden van de weg
En onze blauwe eend hing in de bomen

Veertien dagen op vakantie in de eend
Recht naar het zuiden, had ik zo gemeend
We zouden wel zien hoe de reis zou gaan
Natuurlijk, veilig op de autobaan
Wij reden dag en nacht en alles ging oke
Ik droomde al van 't strand en de zee
En toen je me zei: " 'k Denk dat we d'r zijn"
Slipte de wagen en dat was 't eind

Want, er liep een
Witte eend op 't midden van de weg
Een witte eend, op 't midden van de weg
Een witte eend, op 't midden van de weg
En onze blauwe eend hing in de bomen

Met jou in 't wit en een sluier om
Stond ik bij je, als de bruidegom
Ik dacht steeds: Ging de dag maar voorbij
Want dan ben jij alleen maar van mij
Je had de bruidssuite voor ons gehuurd
Voor na 't feest, in de buurt
Heel verliefd zijn wij daar heen gegaan
Maar net voor de deur is 't mis gegaan

Want, er liep een
Witte eend op 't midden van de weg
Een witte eend, op 't midden van de weg
Een witte eend, op 't midden van de weg
En onze blauwe eend hing in de bomen
Witte eend op 't midden van de weg
Een witte eend, op 't midden van de weg
Een witte eend, op 't midden van de weg
En onze blauwe eend hing in de bomen
Witte eend op 't midden van de weg
Een witte eend, op 't midden van de weg
Een witte eend, op 't midden van de weg
En onze blauwe eend hing in de bomen

Celos


Celos Composer(s): A. Testa - P. Soffici - Villarojas Performer(s): Raphael



Noche y día
Tú me atormentas
Siempre vida mía
Con estos celos
Nubes de agonía
De mi felicidad
Negros celos
Que son locura
De tu fantasía
Porque con nadie
Yo te engañaría
Y digo la verdad
No, no, no debes
Inventarte sin razón
Los besos que no he dado
Ni las cosas que no son
Te quiero todavía
Vida mía, sólo a ti
Igual que el primer día que te vi
No, no, no debes
Por mi culpa padecer
Dudando a cada instante
Que te quiero como ayer
Tus celos son manías
Que oscurecen el color
Del cielo de alegría de mi amor

The Girl On The Police Gazette


The Girl On The Police Gazette
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Dick Powell
and multiple other artists



Some fellows see the girl that they love in a dream
Some fellows see their love in a rippling stream
I saw the girl that I can't forget
On the cover of a police gazette
If I could find her, life would be peaches and cream

Oh, my search will never cease
For the girl on the police gazette
For the pretty young brunette
On the pink police gazette

And above my mantlepiece
There's a page of the police gazette
With the pretty young brunette
On the pink police gazette

I love to stop
At my fav'rite barber shop
Just to take another look at
The girl I haven't met... Yet

And my longing will increase
For the girl on the police gazette
For the pretty young brunette
On the pink police gazette

Celluloid Heroes


Celluloid Heroes Composer(s): Ray Davies First release by: The Kinks - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists



Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
And everybody's in movies, it doesn't matter who you are
There are stars in every city
In every house and on every street
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Their names are written in concrete!

Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the Boulevard
She looks so weak and fragile that's why she tried to be so hard
But they turned her into a princess
And they sat her on a throne
But she turned her back on stardom
Because she wanted to be alone

You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly even heard of
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
Rudolph Valentino, looks very much alive
And he looks up ladies dresses as they sadly pass him by
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
'Cos he's liable to turn and bite
But stand close by Bette Davis
Because hers was such a lonely life
If you covered him with garbage
George Sanders would still have style
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
He would still turn round and smile
But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn
'Cos she's not very tough
She should have been made of iron or steel
But she was only made of flesh and blood

You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly even heard of
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain

Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
And everybody's in show biz, it doesn't matter who you are

And those who are successful
Be always on your guard
Success walks hand in hand with failure
Along Hollywood Boulevard

I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die

You can see all the stars as you walk along Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly even heard of
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain

Oh celluloid heroes never feel any pain
Oh celluloid heroes never really die

I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die

Forever (The Beach Boys)


Forever
Composer(s): Gregg Jakobson; Dennis Wilson
Performer(s): The Beach Boys; Dean Wareham



If every word I said
Could make you laugh
I'd talk forever (together my love)

Do do do do do do do do do together my love

Let the love I have for you
Live in your heart
And beat forever (together my love)

I've been so happy loving you

Baby just let me sing it my baby

Baby baby baby my baby

I wanna be singin' my baby
Oh oh oh oh
My my my my my my

So I'm goin' away
Mmm but not forever
Na na na na

The Girl Of My Best Friend


The Girl Of My Best Friend
Composer(s): Sam Bobrick - Ruby
First release by: Elvis Presley - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists



The way she walks
The way she talks
How long can I pretend
Oh I can't help I'm in love
With the girl of my best friend

Her lovely hair
Her skin so fair
I could go on and never end
Oh, I can't help I'm in love
With the girl of my best friend

I want to tell her
How I love her so
And hold her in my arms, but then
What if she got real mad and told him so
I could never face either one again

The way they kiss
Their happiness
Will my ache-in' ever end
Or will I always be in love
With the girl of my best friend?

Never end,
Will it ever end?
Please let it end

Cello Song


Cello Song Composer(s): Nick Drake First release by: Nick Drake - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists



Strange face, with your eyes
So pale and sincere
Underneath you know well
You have nothing to fear
For the dreams that came to you when so young
Told of a life
Where spring is sprung

You would seem so frail
In the cold of the night
When the armies of emotion
Go out to fight
But while the earth sinks to its grave
You sail to the sky
On the crest of a wave

So forget this cruel world
Where I belong
I'll just sit and wait
And sing my song
And if one day you should see me in the crowd
Lend a hand and lift me
To your place in the cloud

Forever (Chicago)


Forever
Composer(s): Robert Lamm; Bill Gable
Performer(s): Chicago



Every day it seems we hear the same old story
Every day there's lovers giving up on love
People say it's just a fact of modern living
All around us, people fall in love and marry
Then we hear they're breaking up, and wonder why?
Did they mean it when they said it was forever?
All I know is what I feel

Chorus:
Forever
Is a long, long time
Longer than we ever realize
Forever
Is a long, long time
I'm gonna love you the rest of my life
Forever

Every day I spend with you, I call it lucky
Every night we touch and speak the words of love
Did I mean it when I said it was forever?
All I know is what I feel

Chorus

I'm gonna love you the rest of my life
Forever

The Girl Is Mine


The Girl Is Mine
Composer(s): Michael Jackson
First release by: Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney - 1982



(Michael)
Every night she walks right in my dreams
Since I met her from the start
I'm so proud I am the only one
Who is special in her heart

The girl is mine
The doggone girl is mine
I know she's mine
Because the doggone girl is mine

(Paul)
I don't understand the way you think
Saying that she's yours not mine
Sending roses and your sill dreams
Really just a waste of time

Because she's mine
The doggone girl is mine
Don't waste your time
Because the doggone girl is mine

I love you more than he
(Take you anywhere)

(Michael)
But I love you endlessly
(Loving we will share)

(Michael & Paul)
So come and go with me
Two on the town

(Michael)
But we both cannot have her
So it's one or the other
And one day you'll discover
That she's my girl forever and ever

(Paul)
Don't build your hopes to be let down
'Cause I really feel it's time

(Michael)
I know she'll tell you I'm the one for her
'Cause she said I blow her mind

The girl is mine
The doggone girl is mine
Don't waste your time
Because the doggone girl is mine

(Michael & Paul)
She's mine, she's mine
No, no, no, she's mine
The girl is mine, the girl is mine
The girl is mine, the girl is mine

(Paul)
The girl is mine, (yep) she's mine
The girl is mine, (yes) she's mine

(Michael)
Don't waste your time
Because the doggone girl is mine
The girl is mine, the girl is mine

(Paul)
Michael, we're not going to fight about this, okay

(Michael)
Paul, I think I told you, I'm a lover not a fighter

(Paul)
I've heard it all before, Michael, she told me that I'm her forever lover
You know, don't you remember

(Michael)
Well, after loving me, she said she couldn't love another

(Paul)
Is that what she said

(Michael)
Yes, she said it, you keep dreaming

(Paul sings)
I don't believe it

(Michael & Paul)
The girl is mine (mine, mine, mine)...

(Repeat)

Celle Qui T'a Laissé Tomber


Celle Qui T'a Laissé Tomber Composer(s): Claude Moine - Pierre Papadiamandis Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



C'était un de ces étés chauds
Humides, collants à la peau
L'orage ne faisait que gronder
Les flics rôdaient dans l' quartier
Les gens marchaient à pas lents
Comm' pour retenir le temps
Des gosses dans le caniveau
Jouaient au pistolet à eau
C'est là que j' l'ai vue passer
Celle qui t'a laissé tomber

Elle sortait d' la bouche du métro
J'ai vu briller ton couteau
Tu as cherché à te venger
La marquer, lui faire payer
J' te cause, t'embrouille, te raisonne
Peine de cœur, y a pas mort d'homme
Et puis t'es pas assez beau
Pour faire la "une" des journaux
J' vais t'aider à l'oublier
Celle qui t'a laissé tomber

Puis tu sais, ça sert à rien
D' mourir au d'ssus d' ses moyens
Ça s'rait trop lui accorder
À cell' qui t'a laissé tomber
Oui tu sais, ça sert à rien
D' mourir au d'ssus d' ses moyens
Elle s' fout d' c' qui peut t'arriver
Celle qui t'a laissé tomber

C'était un de ces étés chauds
Où le moindr' geste est de trop
Après 2 ou 3 bières glacées
T'as fini par te calmer
T'as r'trouvé l'appartement
Avec ta mère, son amant
D'puis qu' ton père a foutu le camp
Tu disjonctes trop souvent
C'est pas tout ça, j' vais retrouver
Celle qui t'a laissé tomber

Darlin', forever, forever
You can break my heart
Forever, if you want to
I'll play the part of a fool
Just to be with you forever

Forever, darling, forever
You can taunt me
Take my love for granted
But I'll always be just a fool
Just to be with you forever

I'll be your slave
For the rest of my days
Love you more in so many ways
Just to be with you thrills me through and through

And darlin', forever, forever
You can taunt me
Take my love for granted
But I'll always be just a fool
Just to be with you forever

Forever, forever, I'll love you so

Girl In The Wood


Girl In The Wood
Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson - Neal Stuart
Performer(s): Frankie Laine



(Remember me, remember me)
(Remember for the rest of your life)

Oh when I was a young boy
And drove my mother wild
I met a maiden in the woods
And she said, "Child,

Look deep into my green eyes
And at my autumn hair
When your a man you'll never see
A girl quite as fair

Remember me, oh, remember me"

(Remember for the rest of your life)

Her eyes were green as grassy pools
Lookin' right at me
Her hair was red and grown with leaves
Just like an autumn tree

She moved her tiny hands
And she made a litle turn
She swayed in the wind
Just like a graceful fern

I swore as she vanished
That when I was full grown
I'd have a girl just like her
To be my very own

And now I am a man
Would I'd marry if I could
For I can't lose the memory
Of the girl in the wood

Remember me oh remember me
(Remember)
Remember for the rest of your life
(Remember)

I wished a hundred times
That she'd never looked at me
With the first wild beauty
That only you can't see

For man cannot find it
When he's lookin for a wife
And he'll end up in bachelorhood
The rest of his life

Remember me, oh, remember me
Remember for the rest of your life
Remember me, remember me

Remember for the rest of your life

Celle Que J'oublie


Celle Que J'oublie Composer(s): J.M. Rivat Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Il est temps que je te quitte
Notre amour s'en est allé
Couché près de toi je n'ai plus que sommeil

Mais tes yeux se font plus tendres
Tu ne sembles pas comprendre
Que tu n'as plus rien à faire dans ma vie

Aujourd'hui tu n'es que celle que j'oublie

C'est fini, je fais peau neuve
Quand je partirai demain
Tu seras une lumiere qui s'éteint

Toi qui étais mon Espagne
Toi mon pays de cocagne
Toi tu n'as plus rien à faire dans ma vie

Aujourd'hui tu n'es que celle que j'oublie

Composer(s): Lefty Frizzell; Leslie Lyle
Performer(s): Lefty Frizzell



Forever and always my love will be true
I'd wait for a lifetime if you asked me to
You make me so happy, then leave me so blue
But I'd wait forever and always for you

Each night I pray that God above will let my dreams come true
To hear my prayer and make you care my life I'd offer you
For riches won't buy you a heart true as gold
Forever and always to have and to hold

Each night I pray that God above will let my dreams come true
To hear my prayer and make you care my life I'd offer you
For riches won't buy you a heart true as gold
Forever and always to have and to hold

The Girl In The Little Green Hat


The Girl In The Little Green Hat
Composer(s): Jack Scholl - Bradford Browne - Max Rich
Performer(s): Rudy Vallée & His Connecticut Yankees
and multiple other artists



There's a lake in the park
There's a house by the lake
There's a girl in the house in the park by the lake
And the girl in the house by the lake in the park
Is the girl in the little green hat

And tonight after eight
That's when I've got a date
When the moon's riding high and the stars light the sky
With the girl in the house by the lake in the park
The girl in the little green hat

There's no water in the lake
there's no roof upon the house
No treesies in the park at all
But she'll wait beside the lake
I'll be welcome at the house
I'll meet her by the garden wall

There's a ship on the lake
There's a sailor on the shore
There's a girl in his arms, she's the girl I adore
So goodbye to the house by the lake in the park
And the girl in the little green hat

There's a storm on the lake
There's a ship in the storm
There's a girl on the ship in the storm on the lake
And the girl in the lake on the ship in the storm
Is the girl in the little green hat

As the ship starts to dip
She is losing her grip
Every dip makes a tip, not the girl, but the ship
But the girl on the ship has the pip from the trip
The girl in the little green hat

She's been sailing quite enough
She's been clinging to the rails
She's been dying to be home once more
'Cause the lake is rather rough
And the girl is rather pale
She's glad to get her feet on shore

Ah, she gave up the ship
And the captain and his men
Bought a round ticket trip to my arms once again
Now I'm back in the park at the house by the lake
With the girl in the little green hat

Cell Of Fame


Cell Of Fame Composer(s): Andy Powell - Laurie Wisefield - Mervyn Spence - Steve Upton Performer(s): Wishbone Ash



Isadora
Dancing
Can you see her?
Che guavara
Marching beside her
Valentino
Loving every minute?
Don’t you see them looking
Looking down on you?

Pictures on the walls of your room
Gonna help you play the parts
Of your ever changing mood
Lying low
The cast is set around your bones
When all you ever wanted to be
Was plain Mister Jones

Cell of fame
It’s gonna trap you forever
Self confessions
And your back’s against the wall

Idolized by the hands that hold the key
Not even time will set you free
When it’s your turn to leave
Hung at dawn
Then you will join up
With the faces looking on
That’s where you belong

Cell of fame
It’s gonna trap you forever
Self confessions
And your back’s against the wall

Forest For The Trees


Forest For The Trees
Composer(s): Jerome Fletcher;
Bill Gibson; Huey Lewis; Loggins
Performer(s): Huey Lewis & The News



When you're a young man, down and out
You really need someone to help you out
It looks like life or death is your only choice
It's really hard to see
The forest for the trees
The forest for the trees

And when you get angry and everything's black or white
You should know that it isn't that simple, no one's always right
You know that your life is worth living
You gotta start taking if no one else is giving
And if you're not afraid to open your eyes
You may be pleasantly surprised
Things are never as bad as they seem
You just gotta learn to see
The forest for the trees

So if you need somebody, tell them please
If you want someone, get up off your knees
Things are never as bad as they seem
You just gotta learn to see
The forest for the trees

When she goes out walking
She has the town talking
The girl in the bonnet of blue

My heart goes completely
When she smiles so sweetly
The girl in the bonnet of blue

A lady of quality
Gracious and sweet
If fate is kind to me
One day we'll meet

And maybe I'll talk with
And maybe I'll walk with
The girl in the bonnet of blue

A lady of quality
Gracious and sweet
If fate is kind to me
One day we'll meet

And maybe I'll talk with
And maybe I'll walk with
The girl in the bonnet of blue
