Butterfly (Danyel Gérard) (French Version)
Butterfly
Dutch Title: Jij Komt Steeds Weer Dichterbij
Composer(s): Ralph Bernet; Danyel Gérard
Originally performed by: Danyel Gérard
Covered by various other artists
Tu me dis loin des yeux, loin du cœur
Tu me dis qu'on oublie le meilleur
Malgré les horizons,
Je sais qu'elle m'aime encore
Cette fille que j'avais surnommée
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Dans un mois je reviendrais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Près de toi je resterais
L'océan c'est petit, tout petit
Pour deux cœurs où l'amour a grandi
Malgré ce que tu dis,
Tu vois qu'elle m'aime encore
Cette fille que j'avais enlacée
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Dans un mois je reviendrais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Près de toi je resterais
Notre amour est si grand, oui si grand
Que le ciel y tiendrait tout dedans
Malgré ce que tu dis,
Je sais qu'elle m'aime encore
Cette fille que j'avais embrassée
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Dans un mois je reviendrais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Près de toi je resterais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Dans un mois je reviendrais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Près de toi je resterais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Dans un mois je reviendrais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Près de toi je resterais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Dans un mois je reviendrais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Près de toi je resterais

Lightning's Girl
Lightning's Girl
Composer(s): Lee Hazlewood
Performer(s): Nancy Sinatra; Lydia Lunch
I've told you that I'm Lightning's girl
But you keep hanging 'round
If Lightning ever catches you
He's got to put you down
About six feet!
Stay away from Lightning's girl
And this part of town
Stay away from Lightning's girl
Or he'll put you down...yeah
Better stop your grooving 'round
Another rooster's hen
If Lightning ever catches you
He's got to do you in
In about two minutes!
Stay away from Lightning's girl
And this part of town
Stay away from Lightning's girl
Or he'll put you down
Here comes Lightning down the street
While you just stand there talking
If I were you I'd start to move
And tell my story walking
About a hundred miles an hour!
Stay away from Lightning's girl
And this part of town
Stay away from Lightning's girl
Or he'll put you down
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l

You tell me you love me, you say you'll be true
Then you fly around with somebody new
But I'm crazy about you, you butterfly

Lightning Express
Lightning Express
Composer(s): Bradley Kincaid
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
and multiple other artists
The Lightning Express from the depot so grand
Had started out on its way
All of the passengers that were on board
Seemed to be happy and gay
But one little boy, who sat by himself
was reading a letter he had
You can plainly tell by the look on his face
that the contents of it made him sad
The stern old conductor then started his round
taking tickets from everyone there
And finally reaching the side of the boy
he gruffly demanded his fare
'I have no ticket,' the boy then replied
'but I'll pay you back, someday'
'Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make'
but he stopped when he heard the boy say
'Please Mr. Conductor, don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have in this world, sir
is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment, sir
and may not live through the day
I want to reach home and kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away'
A girl, sitting near, was heard to exclaim
'If you put him off, it's a shame!'
Taking his hat, a collection she made
The boy's way was paid on the train
'I'm obliged to you, miss
for your kindness to me'
'You're welcome,' she said, 'never fear'
Each time the conductor would pass through the car
The boy's words would ring in his ear
'Please Mr. Conductor, don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have in this world, sir
is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment, sir
and may not live through the day
I want to reach home and kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away'

Butterflies In The Rain
Butterflies In The Rain
Composer(s): Sherman Myers; Erell Reaves
Performer(s): Ray Noble & Al Bowlly
and various other artists
When the rain is pattering helter skelter
And the butterflies are caught out in the rain
Leafy hollyhocks would murmur come and shelter
Until the rainbow shines again
In the heart of every roses apron
From the pitter patter pitter pat refrain
There's protection from the showers
From the sympathetic flowers
For the butterflies in the rain
Pretty things, you'll have to fold your wings
Waiting for the bright and placid sun showers
`Neath the broad protection of the sunflowers
Gone the rain, the sky is clear again
You can carry on your sweet flirtation
With every blushing rose

Lightnin' Strikes
Lightnin' Strikes
Composer(s): Lou Christie - Twyla Herbert
First release by: Lou Christie - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Listen to me, baby, you got to understand
You're old enough to know the makings of a man
Listen to me, baby, it's hard to settle down
Am I asking too much for you to stick around
Every boy wants a girl
He can trust to the very end
Baby, that's you
Won't you wait but 'til then
When I see lips beggin' to be kissed (Stop!)
I can't stop (Stop!) I can't stop myself
(Stop! Stop!)
Lightnin's striking again
Lightnin's striking again
Nature's takin' over my one-track mind
Believe it or not, you're in my heart all the time
All the girls are sayin' that you'll end up a fool
For the time being, baby, live by the rules
When I settle down
I want one baby on my mind
Forgive and forget
And I'll make up for all lost time
If she's put together fine and she's readin' my mind (Stop!)
I can't stop (Stop!) I can't stop myself
(Stop! Stop!)
Lightnin's striking again
Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again
Lightnin's striking again
Lightnin's striking again
There's a chapel in the pines
Waiting for us around the bend
Picture in your mind
Love forever, but 'til then
If she gives me a sign that she wants to make time (Stop!)
I can't stop (Stop!) I can't stop myself
(Stop! Stop!)
Lightnin's striking again
Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again
Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again

Butterflies
Composer(s): Andre Harris - Marsha Ambrosius
Performer(s): Michael Jackson
Butterflies
Butterfly fly
All you gotta do is just walk away and pass me by
Don't acknowledge my smile when I try to say hello to you, yeah
And all you gotta do is not answer my calls when I'm tryin' to get through
Keep me wondering why when all I can do is sigh
I just wanna touch you
I just wanna touch and kiss
Said I wish that I could be with you tonight
`Cause you give me butterflies inside
Inside and I
All I gotta say is that I must be dreamin', can't be real
You're not here with me, still I can feel you near to me, near
I caress you, let you taste us, just so blissful, listen
I would give you anything, baby, just make my dreams come true
Oh, baby, you give me butterflies
I just wanna touch and kiss
Said I wish that I could be with you tonight
`Cause you give me butterflies inside
Inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
Said I wish that I could be with you tonight
`Cause you give me butterflies inside
Inside and I
If you would take my hand, baby, I will show you
Guide you to the light, baby
If you would be my love, baby I will love you, love you
Till the end of time
I just wanna touch and kiss
Said I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside
Inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
Said I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside
Inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
Said I wish that I could be with you tonight
`Cause you give me butterflies inside
Inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
Said I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside
Inside and I

Een Vrouw Naar M'n Hart
Een Vrouw Naar M'n Hart ((aka Trouwen, M'n Zoon, Moet Je Zeker Niet Doen (Paul Severs) - 1995))
((Adapted from: Bachelor Boy (Cliff Richard) - 1962))
Composer(s): Cliff Richard - Bruce Welch - Daniel Ditmar
Performer(s): Luc Steeno - 2002
Eeuwig op zoek naar die vrouw uit mijn droom
Die ik nog altijd niet vond
Tot ik het beu was - werd ik plots beloond
Kwam zij die niet bestond
En ik zei jij
jij bent de vrouw naar m'n hart
Op jou heb ik gewacht
Jij,jij bent zo rechtdoor, zo puur
Voor jou ga ik door vuur
Zoals jij praat,zo rechttoe,zo rechtaan
Die sproeten op haar neus
Lach op haar monden,die ogen zo klaar
Niet stout maar ook niet preuts
Dus ik zei jij
Jij bent een vrouw naar m'n hart
Op jou heb ik gewacht
Jij,jij bent zo rechtdoor, zo puur
Voor jou ga ik door vuur
Nog geen minuut heb ik spijt van die keer
Waarop zij zo plots voor me stond
Waar zij voorgoed in mijn leven verscheen
En 't geluk voor ons beiden begon
Want ik zei jij
Jij bent een vrouw naar m'n hart
Op jou heb ik gewacht
Jij,jij bent zo rechtdoor, zo puur
Voor jou ga ik door vuur

Butterfingers
Composer(s): Lionel Bart; Michael Pratt; Tommy Steele
Originally performed by: Tommy Steele
Butterfingers, I let you go
But love still lingers, why I don't know
For that short moment you were with me
I never knew your worth
Tho' I lost you, please forgive me
Now I've come down to earth
Butterfingers is waiting for
Something to bring us together once more
And when that happens
I'm gonna hold you
In my loving arms and then
I won't have butterfingers again
And when that happens
I'm gonna hold you
In my loving arms and then
I won't have butterfingers again

Lighthouse Keeper
Lighthouse Keeper
Composer(s): Erika Eigen
Performer(s): Sunforest
I want to marry a lighthouse keeper and keep him company
I want to marry a lighthouse keeper and live by the side of the sea
I'll polish his lamp by the light of day
So ships at night can find their way
I want to marry a lighthouse keeper
Won't that be okay
We'll take walks along the moonlit bay
Maybe find a treasure too
I'd love living in a lighthouse
How about you?
I dream of living in a lighthouse, baby, every single day
I dream of living in a lighthouse, a white one by the bay
So if you want to make my dreams come true
Go be a lighthouse keeper, do
We could live in a lighthouse, a white one by the bay-ay-hay
Won't that be okay
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta!

Light Your Windows
Composer(s): David Freiberg - Gary Duncan
Performer(s): Quicksilver Messenger Service
Hold on girl, now don't be blue
dry those tears for me and you
Can't you see our love is true, when you remember
To do just what you say you'll do, can't you see I live for you?
And I need you to trust me too, open your eyes
So the sun can shine lights in you, will light on your windows
And change all your baby blues to golden sparks that light your eyes
When you finally realize that your fears were all just lies
So open those eyes and let the sun shine lights in you
Light on your windows and take all your baby blues

Performer(s): Van Halen
and multiple other artists
Yeah, we're all fast breakers comin' out of the gates
takin' chances
We're the crash and burn
Yeah, there is a way with beauty, but you never gave
a love cross the line where none return
I watch my television; almost lost my mind
It said, "Open your eyes
Leave it all behind"
I heard the wind a whisp'rin'
strong magic comin' on!
They comin' out for sure
Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies
Won't recognize them any more
Ooh, mama, see the firelight
Ooh, we're comin' out tonight
Wolves at my door wised up quick
Turn here and gone from on the go
Seems the old folks who come up short were the pretty
little kids who didn't want it, no
I had to pay admission when I came tonight
And it said, "Open my eyes
Leave it all behind"
I heard the wind a whisp'rin'
strong magic comin' on!
They comin' out for sure
Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies
Won't recognize them any more
Ooh, mama, see the firelight
Ooh, lightin' up the sky

Butter Beans
Butter Beans
Composer(s): Charles D. Colvin
Performer(s): Little Jimmy Dickens
Just a bowl of butter beans
Pass the cornbread if you please
I don't want no collard greens
All I want is a bowl of butter beans
Just a piece of country ham
Pass the butter and the jam
Pass the biscuits if you please
And some more o' them good ol' butter beans
Red eye gravy is all right
Turnip sandwich a delight
But my children all still scream
For another bowl of butter beans
Some folks think that cornpone's best
Some likes grits more than the rest
But if I was a man of means
I'd just want them good ol' butter beans
See that lady over there
With the curlers in her hair
She's not pregnant as she seems
She's just full o' them good ol' butter beans
See that big, fat, ugly lad
He's made everybody mad
They don't love him, by no means
He's the hog that ate the last of the butter beans
When they lay my bones to rest
Place no roses upon my chest
Plant no blooming evergreens
All I want is' a bowl of butter beans
Just a bowl of butter beans
Pass the cornbread if you please
I don't want no collard greens
All I want is a bowl of butter beans
