My Heart Reminds Me


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.

My Heart Is Yours Alone


My Heart Is Yours Alone ((aka You Are My Heart's Delight (Richard Tauber) - 1931))
((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

Dis-lui, dis-lui, oh dis-lui, oui dis-le-lui

Je n'suis sans doute pas très vieux
Mais je connais l'amour

Sors donc au grand jour
N'attends pas demain
Pour crier cet amour
Prends-la par la main

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

À toi, rien qu'à toi

Dis-lui que tu l'aimes à la folie
Dis-lui que tu l'aimeras pour la vie

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 (Lisa Del Bo)


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

Tell Her You Love Her


Tell Her You Love Her
Composer(s): Barry Parker - Hugh Halliday
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; Simavi



Tell her you love her each day
You'll make her happy that way
A simple "I love you" means more than money
And with a kiss or two her life is sunny

Give her a reason to live
She needs the love that you give
Always remember that is what she lives for

She hopes you love her...
Tell her you love her!
Tell her you love her!
Today!

Give her a reason to live
She needs the love that you give

Always remember that is what she lives for

She hopes you love her...
Tell her you love her!
Tell her you love her!
Today!

My Heart Is Dancing With You


My Heart Is Dancing With You
Composer(s): Flora Smith; Lewis Ilda; Jos. Geo. Gilbert
Performer(s): Leslie A. Hutchinson



You live in my heart though we’re far apart
You’re there whate’er may betide
Sometimes I may go with friends to a show
But no friend our love can divide

Though I’m dancing tonight with some other one
My heart is dancing with you
Though I’m making believe I’m having some fun
My heart is dancing with you
And when they’re playing our favourite song
My thoughts are with you the whole night long
Though I’m dancing tonight with some other one
My heart is dancing with you

And when they’re playing our favourite song
My thoughts are with you the whole night long
Though I’m dancing tonight with some other one
My heart is dancing with you

Good-Bye-Ee


Good-Bye-Ee
Composer(s): R.P. Weston; Bert Lee



Brother Bertie went away
To do his bit the other day
With a smile on his lips
and his Lieutenant's pips
upon his shoulder bright and gay
As the train moved out he said
'Remember me to all the birds'
And he wagg'd his paw
and went away to war
Shouting out these pathetic words

Goodbye-ee, goodbye-ee
Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee
Tho' it's hard to part I know
I'll be tickled to death to go
Don't cry-ee, dont sigh-ee
there's a silver lining in the sky-ee
Bonsoir, old thing, cheer-i-o, chin, chin
Nap-poo, toodle-oo
Goodbye-ee

Goodbye Mary Dear


Goodbye Mary Dear (aka I'll Be There, Mary Dear)
(aka Mary Dear)
Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling; Harry Von Tilzer
Performer(s): Charlie Poole;
and various other artists



"Goodbye, Mary
I must go"
Said a lad, "Now don't grieve so
For it's duty calls me far across the sea"
"Take this autumn leaf of gold"
Said the maid, "'Twill ne'er grow old
Always wear it next to your heart and think of me"

"Meet me yonder down the lane
When I come back home again
'Neath the tree where this golden leaf once grew
Kiss me, Mary, then we'll part"
Said the lad with a broken heart
"When the leaves begin to fall, I'll be with you"

"I'll be there, Mary dear, I'll be there
When the fragrance of the roses fills the air
'Neath that old tree grand and tall
When the leaves begin to fall,
I'll be there, yes, I'll be there, sweet Mary dear"

See the lad with empty sleeve
Of his comrades taking leave
They were home again, the transport had come back
"If she loved you long ago,
She won't love you less, I know
But one arm will do to hold her to you, Jack"

It was autumn time again
As he wandered down the lane
There beneath that old oak tree he found a grave
So he knelt in silent prayer
For the one he loved slept there
As the tears fell on the golden leaf she gave

"I'll be there, Mary dear, I'll be there
When the fragrance of the roses fills the air
'Neath that old tree grand and tall
When the leaves begin to fall
I'll be there, yes, I'll be there, sweet Mary dear"
