Who Loves You


Who Loves You
Composer(s): Bob Gaudio; Judy Parker
Performer(s): Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons



Who loves you pretty baby
Who's gonna help you through the night?

Who loves you pretty mama
Who's always there to make it right?

Who loves you pretty baby
Who's gonna help you through the night?

Who loves you pretty mama
Who's always there to make it right?

Who loves you
Who loves you pretty baby?
Who's gonna love you mama?

Who loves you
Who loves you pretty baby?

When tears are in your eyes
And you can't find the way

It's hard to make believe
You're happy when you're gray

Baby when you're feelin' like
You'll never see the mornin' light

Come to me
Baby, you'll see

Who loves you pretty baby
Who's gonna help you through the night?

Who loves you pretty mama
Who's always there to make it?

Who loves you
Who loves you pretty baby?
Who's gonna love you mama?

Who loves you
Who loves you pretty baby?

And when you think
The whole wide world has passed you by

You keep on tryin'
But you really don't know why

Baby when you need a smile
To help the shadows drift away

Come to me
Baby, you'll see

Who loves you pretty baby
Who's gonna help you through the night?

Who loves you pretty mama
Who's always there to make it?

Who loves you
Who's gonna love you, love you?
Who's gonna love you?

Who loves you
Who's gonna love you, love you?
Who's gonna love you?

Baby
Baby
Doot-doo-doot

Come to me
Baby, you'll see

Who loves you pretty baby
Who's gonna help you through the night?

Who loves you pretty mama
Who's always there to make it?

Who loves you
Who's gonna love you, love you?
Who's gonna love you?

Who loves you
Who's gonna love you, love you?
Who's gonna love you?

All I Ever Have To Be


All I Ever Have To Be
Composer(s): Gary Chapman
Performer(s): Amy Grant
and multiple other artists



When the weight of all my dreams
Is resting heavy on my head
And the thoughtful words of health and hope
Have all been nicely said

But I’m still hurting
Wondering if I’ll ever be
The one I think I am

I think I am

Then you gently re-remind me
That you’ve made me from the first
And the more I try to be the best
The more I get the worst

And I realize the good in me
Is only there because of who you are

Who you are...

And all I ever have to be
Is what you’ve made me
Any more or less would be a step
Out of your plan

As you daily recreate me
Help me always keep in mind
That I only have to do
What I can find

And all I ever have to be
All I have to be
All I ever have to be
Is what you’ve made me

Who Loves The Sun


Who Loves The Sun
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): The Velvet Underground;
and various other artists



Who loves the sun?
Who cares that it makes plants grow?
Who cares what it does
since you broke my heart?

Who loves the wind?
Who cares that it makes breezes?
Who cares what it does
since you broke my heart?

Who loves the sun?
Who loves the sun?
Not everyone
Who loves the sun?

Who loves the rain?
Who cares that it makes flowers?
Who cares that it makes showers
since you broke my heart?

Who loves the sun?
Who cares that it is shining?
Who cares what it does
since you broke my heart?

Who loves the sun?
Who loves the sun?
Not everyone
Who loves the sun?

Who Knows Where The Time Goes?


Who Knows Where The Time Goes?
Composer(s): Sandy Denny
Performer(s): Fairport Convention;
and various other artists



Across the morning sky all the birds are leaving
But how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the Winter's fire
I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time

For who knows where the time goes?
Who know's where the time goes?

Sad deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Ah and yet they know it's time for them to go

But I will still be here
I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time

For who knows where the time goes?
Who know's where the time goes?

And I am not alone while my love is near
And I know it will be so until it's time to go

So count the storms of winter
And then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time

For who knows how my love grows?
And who know's where the time goes?

For who knows where the time goes?
Who know's where the time goes?

All I Do Is Dream Of You


All I Do Is Dream Of You
Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown - Arthur Freed
Performer(s): Gene Kelly



All I do is dream of you the whole night through
With the dawn I still go on and dream of you
You're every thought, you're everything
You're every song I ever sing

Summer, Winter, Autumn and Spring
And were there more than twenty four hours a day
They'd be spent in sweet content, dreaming away
When skies are grey, when skies are blue
Morning, noon and night-time too
All I do is dream of you the whole day through

Who Kissed Me Last Night?


Who Kissed Me Last Night?
Composer(s): Stephen Weiss
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney



Who kissed me last night
If I only knew
During the masquerade
Who kissed me last night
So diff'rent, so new
Now I'm bewitched, afraid
Afraid I'm in love with a stranger who's gone
Whose kiss was such delight
Who kissed me last night
I must find the one
The one who kissed me last night

All I Could Do Was Cry


All I Could Do Was Cry
Composer(s): Billy Davis - Gwen Fuqua - Berry Gordy Jr.
Performer(s): Etta James
and multiple other artists



I heard church bells ringing
I heard a choir singing
I saw my love walk down the aisle
On her finger he placed a ring

Oh, I saw them holding hands
She was standing there with my man
I heard them promise "Till death do us part"
Each word was a pain in my heart

All I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
I was losing the man that I loved
And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)

Yeah and now the wedding's over
Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads
For them life has just begun
But mine is at an end

All, all I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
I was losing the man that I loved (cry, cry, cry)
And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)

Who Is He (And What Is He To You)?


Who Is He (And What Is He To You)?
Composer(s): Stan McKenney; Bill Withers
Performer(s): Bill Withers;
and various other artists



A man we passed just tried to stare me down
And when I looked at you
You looked at the ground
I don't know who he is
But I think that you do
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?

Ahh
Something in my heart and in your eye
Tells me he's not someone just passing by
Ahh
And when you cleared your throat
Was that your cue?
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?

Ahh now
When I add the sum of you and me
I get confused when I keep coming up with 3
You're too much for one man
But not enough for two
Dadgummit
Who is he and what is he to you?

Well
You tell me men don't have much intuition
Is that what you really thinkin girl
Or are you wishing?
Before you wreck your old home
And searcht another new
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?
Who is he, and what is he to you?
Who is he, and what is he to you?
Who is he, and what is he to you?

All I Can Remember


All I Can Remember
Composer(s): Keith Potger
Performer(s): The Seekers; Judith Durham



Summer days and summer breezes, flowers everywhere
Are all that I remember of times we used to share
Summer nights and summer beaches, flowing into fall
That's all I can remember, all that I recall

I remember seasons when you weren't so far away
I still can hear your laughter and things you used to say
Sheltered from the world behind the ivy-covered wall
That's all I can remember, all that I recall

Somewhere above me
You smiling face, warm embrace fill my mind
I know you love me
And you're the one for whom the sun will always shine

So, my love, the more I think the more I want to say
Your love to me is sunshine and laughing summer days
Once again I realize I loved you most of all
That's all I can remember, all that I recall

Who Has The Last Laugh Now


Who Has The Last Laugh Now
Composer(s): Charles McCormick
Performer(s): Bloodstone



You may laugh (you may laugh, ha, ha)
When you see me crying (when you see me crying) (when you see me crying)
Oh, you gonna laugh, when I tell you, goodbye

I’ve tried to do all I could to make this love last
Now I’m looking for my future
Get it all in my past
Won’t you tell me
Who has the last laugh now

I really wanna know
You remember (you remember)
When you tell your friends
That your man, your righteous old man
Is gone crying again

Oh, but what will you say
If I never set foot on your door again
What will you tell your friends then
Will you tell me
Who has the last laugh now

I wanna know, I wanna know
Who has the last laugh
I wanna know

You may laugh, you may laugh, you may laugh
When you tell your friends
But, oh you gonna laugh (oh you gonna laugh)
If I never set foot on your door again

Oh, I have tried to do all I could
To make our love last
I’ve got to look upon my future
Forget all my past
Oh, I want to tell you (tell me)
Who has the laugh last now

I wanna know, I wanna know
Who has the last laugh
Oh I bet you know

When I was good to you
You used to laugh at me
Now I have to let you know
That I have to let you go

All I Can Do Is Write About It


All I Can Do Is Write About It
Composer(s): Allen Collins - Ronnie VanZant
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd; Uncle Kracker



Well this life that I've lead has took me everywhere
There ain't no place I ain't never gone
But its kind of like the saying that you heard so many times
Well there just ain't no plae like home
Did you ever see a she-gator protect her young
Or a fish in a river swimming free
Did you ever see the beauty of the hills of Carolina
Or the sweetness of the grass in Tennessee
And Lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes

Do you like to see a mountain stream a-flowin'
Do you like to see a youngun with his dog
Did you ever stop to think about, well, the air your breathin'
Well you better listen to my song
And Lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes

I'm not tryin' to put down no big cities
But the things they write about us is just a bore
Well you can take a boy out of ol' Dixieland
But you'll never take ol' Dixie from a boy
And Lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes
'Cause I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes

Who Has Seen The Wind


Who Has Seen The Wind
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell



Who has seen the wind scalloping the sea
Or gliding like a swallow over villages and trees?
"I have," said the willow
"And I begged him please to stay, but he went away
He went on his own one day"
And I sing
"One love have I," and he sings
"Now it's goodbye"
And I sing "Part of me dies until I see you again"
Who has seen the sun through a parasol of leaves
Through scattered ruby cloud fires, through the silver wings of bees?
"I have," said the waters, "and I held his face to mine
But he left in time, he went in his own good time"
And I sing "One love have I," and he sings
"Now it's goodbye," and I sing
"Part of me dies until I see you again"
Who has seen the stranger in a coat of simple brown
With his face of many faces, with his eyes turned out of town?
I have and I kissed him and I begged him please to stay
But he went away, with the sun and the wind away
And I sing "One love have I," and he sings
"Now it's goodbye," and I sing
"Part of me dies until I see you again"

All I Can Do (The Carpenters)


All I Can Do
Composer(s): Richard Carpenter - John Bettis
Performer(s): The Carpenters



Yesterday I thought you'd stay
I though you'd see things my way
But now I see my hopes rainy day

I should have known when you said I was the one you wanted
wanting meant nothing more than today

All I can do is cry over you
and hope you return someday
All I can do is cry over you
since you've gone away

Ev'ry road that I follow leaves me with no tomorrow
I need someone to show me the way

All I can do is cry over you
and hope you return someday
All I can do is cry over you
since you've gone away

All I Can Do (Dolly Parton)


All I Can Do
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



It's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so
I wasn't looking for love when I found you
Just someone to be with and have a good time
But I get these strange funny feelings around you
When you're not with me, you're still on my mind

And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so

I had intended to wait for a long time
I thought that love would just mess up my plans
'Cause I had big plans for a bright shining future
Could this be my future that's holding my hand

And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so

I need to tell you how I feel about you
But I'm so afraid that you don't feel the same
But if I don't tell you how I feel about you
I just might lose you, can I take that chance

And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so

Who Do You Think You Are?


Who Do You Think You Are?
Composer(s): Des Dyer; Clive Scott
Performer(s): Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods



Who am I?
I'm just a guy who only wants to try
To do what's right and never make you cry
But you're no good to me, and

Who do you think you are?
You try to push me a bit too far
And every day sees another scar
Tell me, who do you think you are?
If you want me there, you gotta care
Who do you think you are, taking advantage of me this way?
Who do you think you are, hurting me more with everything you say?
It's not fair, you don't care
Who do you really think that you are?

Where are we?
We're at the crossroads and I just can't see
Which road to take to keep you here with me
The lights are down and baby,

Who do you think you are?
You try to push me a bit too far
And every day sees another scar
Tell me, who do you think you are?
If you want me there, you gotta care
Who do you think you are, taking advantage of me that way?
Who do you think you are, hurting me with everything you say?
It's not fair, you don't care
Who do you really think that you are?

Who am I?
I'm just a guy who only wants to try
To do what's right and never make you cry
But you're no good to me, and

Who do you think you are?
You try to push me a bit too far
And every day sees another scar
Tell me, who do you think you are?

Yeah, baby, who do you think you are?
You try to push me a bit too far
And every day sees another scar
Tell me, who do you think you are?

Share each day with
me, each
night, each morning...

Phantom:
You will curse the day
you did not do
all that the Phantom asked
of you...!

Who Do You Love?


Who Do You Love?
Composer(s): Ellis McDaniel
Performer(s): Bo Diddley;
and various other artists



I walked 47 miles of barbed wire
Used a cobra snake for a neck tie
Got a brand new house on the roadside
Made out of rattlesnake hide
I got a brand new chimney made on top
Made out of human skulls
Now come on darling let's take a little walk, tell me

Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love

Arlene took me by the hand
And said oooh eeeh daddy I understand

Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love

The night was black and the night was blue
And around the corner an ice wagon flew
A bump was a hittin' lord and somebody screemed
You should have heard just what I seen

Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love

Arleen took me by my hand, she said
Ooo-ee Bo you know I understand
I got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind
I lived long enough and I ain't scared of dying

Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love

Meer Vraag Ik Niet Van Jou


Meer Vraag Ik Niet Van Jou
((Adapted from: All I Ask Of You (by Sarah Brightman & Steve Barton) - 1986))
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber - Charles Hart - Richard Stilgoe - Seth Gaaikema
Performer(s): Ann De Winne & Garry Hagger - 1998



Nooit meer sombere buien, angst voor het bestaan
Bij mij, ben je echt veilig
Jouw vrijheid is mij heilig

Nooit meer angstig huilen
Het zonlicht droogt de traan
Bij mij vind je bescherming, in troostende omarming

Breng de liefde in mijn eenzaam leven
Zing de zomer in mijn angstig hart

Zeg me, 'zonder jou kan ik niet leven'
Zeg me, dat in waarheid en in trouw
Meer vraag ik niet van jou

Kom maar bij me schuilen
Kruip maar dicht bij mij
Liefste, niemand zal het wagen, om jou angst aan te jagen

Wat ik wil, is vrijheid
Wat ik wil, is licht
En jij, jij zult me strelen en alles met me delen

Beloof me dan voorgoed bij mij te blijven
Deel de morgen, deel de dag, de nacht
Angst en eenzaamheid, zal ik verdrijven
Elke dag, maak ik de hemel blauw
Liefste, meer vraag ik niet van jou

Deel met mij de liefde heel mijn leven
Wijs de weg en ik ga met je mee
Deel met mij de dag, de nacht, de morgen
Zeg die woorden

Ik hou van jou

Liefste, meer vraag ik niet van jou

Elke dag, maak ik de hemel blauw
Liefste, meer vraag ik niet van jou
