Maybe It's Because I Love You Too Much


Maybe It's Because I Love You Too Much
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Ray Noble
and various other artists



Maybe it's because I love you too much
Maybe that is why you love me so little

Maybe when I answered, yes
Maybe I became a bore
Maybe if I loved you less
Maybe you would love me more

Maybe it's because I've kissed you too much
Maybe that is why my kiss means so little

Maybe with a love so great and a love so small
Maybe I'll be left with no love at all

On A Coconut Island


On A Coconut Island
Composer(s): Alex Anderson
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong;
and various other artists



On a coconut island
I'd like to be a castaway with you
On a coconut island
There wouldn't be so very much to do

I would linger a while and just gaze into your lovely eyes so blue
Then I'd walk for a mile and come running back to be with you
There the waves would make a pair of willing slaves of you and me forever
And we'd laze for days and days and never gaze out where the ships go sailing by

On a coconut island
I'd like to be a castaway with you
Just to bask in your smile
And to realize my dream come true

I would linger a while and just gaze into your lovely eyes so blue
Then I'd walk for a mile and come running back to be with you
There the waves would make a pair of willing slaves of you and me forever
And we'd laze for days and days and never gaze out where the ships go sailing by

Maybe It's Because


Maybe It's Because
Composer(s): Harry Ruby; Johnnie Scott
Performer(s): Dick Haymes
and various other artists



Maybe it's because the kiss you gave me
Touched my heart and went right through
I can't tell you why, I only know that I
Fell helplessly in love with you

Maybe it's because the song we danced to
Told a story old and new
I can't figure out just why it came about
Or how I fell in love with you

I could say you're grand
And therefore I care for you so
But there is a why and wherefore
And I'd like to know

Maybe it's because the star I wished on
Made a certain wish come true
Or it just could be that you were meant for me
And maybe I was meant for you

On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever)


On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever)
Composer(s): Burton Lane; Alan Jay Lerner
Performer(s): Robert Goulet;
and various other artists



On a clear day, rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day how it will astound you
That the glow of your being outshines every star

You'll feel part of ev'ry mountain, sea, and shore
You can hear from far and near a world you've never heard before

And on a clear day, on that clear day
You can see forever and ever more

(instrumental first line)
You can hear from far and near a world you've never heard before

And on that clear day, on that clear day
You can see forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and evermore!

Maybe It Was Magic


Maybe It Was Magic
Composer(s): Peter Brown; Pat Hurely
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



There were good times
I still remember when I made you smile
When life was easy
We'd coexist in a comfortable style
And there were feelings
I was inclined to believe they would never fade
It's so funny
How things don't always work that way

There was something in the air
Maybe it was magic
And there was something in your voice
When you used to call my name
And there are moments in my life
That I can still remember
There are places in my heart
That I cannot forget

There was music
We danced in the sunlight and glittered like gold
Life was free then
With time on our side we would never grow old
And there were feelings
Burning with fire in the heat of a summer night
And there were sweet dreams
When once upon a time was just right

There was something in the air
Maybe it was magic
And there was something in your voice
When you used to call my name
And there are moments in my life
That I can still remember
And there are places in my heart
That I cannot forget

There was something in the air
Maybe it was magic
There was something in your voice
When you used to call my name
There are moments in my life
That I can still remember
There are places in my heart
That I cannot forget....

On A Carousel


On A Carousel
Composer(s): Allan Clarke; Tony Hicks; Graham Nash
Performer(s): The Hollies;
and various other artists



Riding along on a carousel, trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel, will I catch up to you?

Horses chasing 'cause they're racing
So they ain't so far

On a carousel, on a carousel

Nearer and nearer by changing horses, still so far away
People fighting for their places just get in my way
Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you
Still we're going round

On a carousel, on a carousel
round and round and round and round
round and round and round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down, too

As she leaves, she drops the presents that she won before
Pulling ducks out of the water, got the highest score
Now's my chance and I must take it, a case of do-or-die

On a carousel, on a carousel
round and round and round and round
round and round and round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down, too

Riding along on a carousel, trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel, will I catch up to you?

Now we take our ride together
No more chasing her

On a carousel, on a carousel ...

Maybe I'm Wrong


Maybe I'm Wrong
Performer(s): The Blues Brothers



I wanna show you that anything is possible
I wanna show you that your wildest dreams can come true
And I swear some day I'm gonna figure out how to just that
But until then, I guess trying is all I can do

Maybe I'm wrong thinking you want something better
Maybe I'm wrong thinking you got no problem making it through the night
Maybe I'm wrong about every little thing I'm talking about
I said maybe I'm wrong, but just maybe, maybe I'm right

No, it's none of my business but I think I can make you happy
But it really doesn't matter if it's me or it's someone else
All that I know is that I think that your kinda special
And one way or another gonna see that I can treat you well

Maybe I'm wrong thinking you want something better
Maybe I'm wrong thinking you got no problem making it through the night
Maybe I'm wrong about every little thing I'm talking about
I said maybe I'm wrong, but just maybe, maybe I'm right

You seem to think that Lady Luck just doesn't like you
Well, I've been trying to belive that the Lady just ain't that dumb
Oh, just give her time to get here
And I'm sure that when she gets here
She'll be really glad to be here when she comes

Maybe I'm wrong thinking you want something better
Maybe I'm wrong thinking you got no problem making it through the night
Maybe I'm wrong about every little thing I'm talking about
I said maybe I'm wrong, but just maybe, maybe I'm right

Maybe I'm wrong thinking you want something better
Maybe I'm wrong thinking you got no problem making it through the night
Maybe I'm wrong about every little thing I'm talking about
I said maybe I'm wrong, but just maybe, maybe I'm right

On A Bus To St. Cloud


On A Bus To St. Cloud
Composer(s): Gretchen Peters
Performer(s): Benny Neyman & Tony Willé;
and various other artists



On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota
I thought I saw you there
With the snow falling down around you
Like a silent prayer
And once on a street in New York city
With the jazz and the sin in the air
And once on a cold L.A. freeway
Going nowhere

And it’s strange
But it’s true
I was sure it was you
Just a face
In the crowd
On a bus
To St. Cloud

In a church in downtown New Orleans
I got down on my knees and prayed
And I wept in the arms of Jesus
For the choice you made
We were just gettin’ to the good part
Just gettin’ past the misery
Oh, and it’s just like you
It’s just like you, to disagree

And it’s strange
But it’s true
You just slipped out of view
Like a face
In the crowd
On a bus
To St. Cloud

You chase me like a shadow
You haunt me like a ghost
And I hate you some
And I love you some
But I miss you most

On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota
I thought I saw you there
With the snow falling down around you
Like a silent prayer

Maybe I'm Amazed


Maybe I'm Amazed
Composer(s): Paul McCartney
Originally performed by: Paul McCartney
Covered by various other artists



Maybe I'm Amazed At The Way You Love Me All The Time
Maybe I'm Afraid Of The Way I Love You
Maybe I'm Amazed At The The Way You Pulled Me Out Of Time
And Hung Me On A Line
Maybe I'm Amazed At The Way I Really Need You
Maybe I'm A Man And Maybe I'm A Lonely Man
Who's In The Middle Of Something
That He Dosen't Really Understand

Maybe I'm A Man And Maybe You're The Only Woman
Who Could Ever Help Me
Baby Won't You Help Me Understand

Maybe I'm Amazed At The Way You're With Me All The Time
Maybe I'm Afraid Of The Way I Leave You
Maybe I'm Amazed At The Way You Help Me Sing My Song
Right Me When I'm Wrong
Maybe I'm Amazed At The Way I Really Need You

On A Bus


On A Bus
Composer(s): INXS
Performer(s): INXS



Liquor market
Lots of flats
Another 24-hour chemist
Self-serve gas

I said all these things
Serve me well
I said all these things
Serve me well

It's hypnotizing
It sends me to sleep
No one talks to anyone else
It's frightening
Everybody's minds are blank
Hypnotizing

I'm always using you
When I'm out of cash
I stare through this window
On a bus moving fast

Maybe I'll Come Back


Maybe I'll Come Back
Composer(s): Charles L. Cooke; Howard C. Jeffrey
Performer(s): Judy Garland; Marlene Dietrich



I will come back when the elephants roost in the trees
I will come back when the birds make love to the bees
I will come back when the sun refuses to shine
And President Coolidge is a cousin of mine

I will come back when the fish walk around on two feet
And promenade up and down on Washington Street
When the snow has turned from white to blue
Then maybe I will come back to you

Whistler's mother is a sister of mine

When the snow has turned from white to blue
Then maybe I will come back to you
Yes, maybe I'll come back
Could be I'll be back
Maybe I'll come back to you

Omdat Ik Van Je Hou


Omdat Ik Van Je Hou
Italian Title: L'Amore E Un Attimo
Composer(s): M. Ramieri
Performer(s): Louis Neefs



Dag, m'n lieve lieve meisje
't Is alweer lang geleden
Maar hoe is het nou

Ja echt, echt dat wil ik weten
Ik kan je niet vergeten
Hoe is het nou

Nee, dat is niet wat ik vroeg
Je stem alleen is niet genoeg
Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou
Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou

Waarom zeg jij nu niets
Denk niet dat het nu zomaar over is
Daarom bel ik je op
Alleen omdat ik jou zo vreselijk mis

Als alles anders was, m'n lieve meisje
Dan zou ik nu bij jou kunnen zijn
Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou
Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou

Dat, m'n lieve lieve meisje
En laat de rest maar zitten
Is wat ik zeggen wou

Wat jij en ik ook mogen vinden
We komen toch nooit verder
Dan hoe is het nou

Nee, dat is niet wat ik vroeg
Je stem alleen is niet genoeg
Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou
Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou
Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou
Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou
Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou
Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou
Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou
Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou
Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou
Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou

Maybe I Know


Maybe I Know
Composer(s): Jeff Barry; Ellie Greenwich
Performer(s): Lesley Gore; Ellie Greenwich



Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue
But what can I do

I hear them whispering when I walk by
He's gonna break her heart and make her cry
I know it's me they're talking about
I bet they all think I'll never find out

Ohhh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue but what can I do

My friends are telling me that he's no good
He isn't treating me the way he should
He really loves me that's all I can say
Before my tears fall I just walk away

Ohh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue
But what can I do
Ohhhh

Deep down inside he loves me
Though he may run around
Deep down inside he loves me
Some day he'll settle down

Ohhh Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue
But what can I do

He really loves me that's all I can say
Before my tears fall I just walk away

Ohh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue
But what can I do

Ohh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue
But what can I do

Maybe He'll Know


Maybe He'll Know

Performer(s): Cyndi Lauper; Blue Angel



oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Maybe he'll know
I'm not so sure
maybe he'll know, well
maybe he'll be my cure

oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Maybe he'll know, well
I'm not so sure

maaybe he'll be, oh oh

Something calls to me
I know
I hear an echo start to pound
like a drum
chanting a song, anchor me
but don't take too long, no no
I got this anxious feeling
I got this ache engraved
in me like stone
don't take too long
say you`ll never leave me
say you'll never go
no no no no

oh oh, oh oh...

(repeat)

Om Tarar Vore Guld


Om Tarar Vore Guld
English Title: If Tears Were Gold
Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Fåglarna sjunger, blommor slår ut
Allt är sig likt som det varit förut
Men du är ej här, fast jag minns dig ännu
Kan inte glömma, jag var ju din fru

Vad man kan sakna någon ändå!
Stunder av lycka tänker jag på
Hur kan en saga så vacker som vår
Plötsligt ta slut efter så många år?

Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld
Jag kan aldrig glömma dig
Ett litet gräl blev vårt avsked, det var nog min skuld
Jag blir aldrig kär igen
Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld
Nu är jag bara en vän

Finns det nån mening med allt som var?
Frågan jag ställer får inget svar
Varför var ödet så hårt mot oss två?
Allt blev förändrat när jag såg dig gå

Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld
Jag kan aldrig glömma dig
Ett litet gräl blev vårt avsked, det var nog min skuld
Jag blir aldrig kär igen
Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld
Nu är jag bara en vän

Om Jag Skriver En Sang


Om Jag Skriver En Sang
Composer(s): Eva Dahlgren
Performer(s): Eva Dahlgren



Vad ska jag skriva nu
När alla ord tagit slut
Å vad ska vi prata om
När allt är utnött och fult

Det känns som om alla
Väntar sig
Att jag ska hitta på nya ord
Som inte finns på vår jord

Men om jag skriver en sång
Full av kärlek och hat
En sång som säger att det här är jag
En sång utan massor av ord
En sång som man kan sjunga
Gång på gång
Och tåren på min kind
Torkar snabbt i dess vind
Om natten är lång
Så vad gör väl de'
Så länge du är med

Det känns som om alla gamla sånger
Aldrig nått sitt mål
Som om alla dessa nya människor
Aldrig upplevt en vår
Så snart de talar till mej
Känns allt så dumt och fel
Jag vill få er att se

Men om jag skriver en sång
Full av kärlek och hat
En sång som säger att det här är jag
En sång utan massor av ord
En sång som man kan sjunga
Gång på gång
Och tåren på min kind
Torkar snabbt i dess vind
Om natten är lång
Så vad gör väl de'
Så länge du är med

Maybe After He's Gone


Maybe After He's Gone
Composer(s): Chris White
Performer(s): The Zombies



She told me she loved me
With words as soft as morning rain
But the light that fell upon me
Turned to shadow when he came...

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

I remember joy and pain
Her smile, her tears are part of me
I feel I'll never breathe again
I feel life's gone from me...

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

All the days
And all the nights
Are time just passing by
And all the dreams I'm dreaming now
Hide the tears that I cry...

I feel so cold
I'm on my own
As the night folds in around me
Night surrounds me
I'm alone...

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
After he's gone
She'll come back, love me again

Om
Composer(s): Michael Pinder
Performer(s): The Moody Blues



The rain is on the roof
Hurry high butterfly
As clouds roll past my head
I know why the skies all cry
Om, Om
Heaven
Om

The Earth turns slowly round
Far away the distant sound
Is with us everyday
Can you hear what it says?
Om, Om
Heaven
Om
