Kashmir
Kashmir
Composer(s): John Bonham; John Paul Jones;
Jimmy Page; Robert Plant;
and various other artists
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
Stars to fill my dreams
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
Secret elders of a gentle race
This world is seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Whoa-oh-hoh, whoa-oh-wa-oh
Oooh, oh baby, I been flyin'
Lord, yeah, mama, there ain't no denyin'
Oh, oooh yes, I've been flying
Mama ma, ain't no denyin', no denyin'
Oh, all I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land
Tryin' to find, tryin' to find where I beeeeen-ahhh-ahhhh
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert screen
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June
When movin' through Kashmir
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
Across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
'Long the straits of fear
Wha-oh, wha-oh
Whaoh-oh, oh
Ohhhh
Well, when I want, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay, yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, yes
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there
Oh, oh, come on, come on
Oh, let me take you there
Let me take you there
Whoo-ooh, yeah-yeah, whoo-ooh, yeah-yeah, let me take you

You Started Something (Rosemary Clooney)
You Started Something
Composer(s): Al Rinker; Floyd Huddleston
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney
and multiple other artists
You were just passing by, but you started something
I may never know why, but you started something
With your glance a new romance was in the making
Just like the sun starts the flowers to waking
I knew all about love, I said this can't happen
But then you came along and caught my heart napping
Now each hour and each new day will always be spring
`Cause you really started something
I knew all about love, I said this can't happen
But then you came along and caught my heart napping
Now each hour and each new day will always be spring
`Cause you really started something

Kathy's Song
Kathy's Song
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Paul Simon
and multiple other artists
I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls
And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To a land where my heart lies
My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day
And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme
And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I

You Started Something (Betty Grable, Bob Cummings, Don Ameche)
You Started Something
Composer(s): Leo Robin; Ralph Rainger
Performer(s): Betty Grable, Bob Cummings, Don Ameche
and multiple other artists
You started something
Yes you did, but you didn't even try to
You smiled and my heart began to fly to the moon
You started something
Yes you did, but you didn't even know it
And now I'm as wacky as a poet in June
I believe in fairy tales
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe that dreams come true
I do, because
You started something
Yes you did, but you didn't even know it
I knew right away that you were my new romance

Katmandu
Katmandu
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger
I think I'm going to Katmandu
that's really, really where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
I think that's where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
I'm going to Katmandu
I got no kick against the west coast
Warner Brothers are such good hosts
I raise my whiskey glass and give them a toast
I'm sure they know it's true
I got no rap against the southern states
Every time I've been there it's been great
But now I'm leaving and I can't be late
and to myself be true
That's why I'm going to Katmandu
up to the mountains where I'm going to
And if I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
that's really, really where I'm going to
oh, if I ever get out of here I'm going to Katmandu
I got no quarrel with the midwest
the folks out there have given me their best
I lived there all my life, I've been their guest
I sure have loved it, too
I'm tired of looking at the TV news
I'm tired of driving hard and paying dues
I figure, baby, I've got nothing to lose
I'm tired of being blue
That's why I'm going to Katmandu
up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
take me, baby, 'cause I'm going with you
If I ever get out of here
I'm going to Katmandu
I ain't got nothing 'gainst the east coast
You want some people where they got the most
And new york city's like a friendly ghost
you seem to pass right through
I know I'm gonna miss the USA
I guess I'll miss it every single day
But no one loves me here anyway
I know my playing is through
That's why I'm going to Katmandu
up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
really, really going to
if I ever get out of here
if I ever get out of here
if I ever get out of here
I'm going to Katmandu

If I Give You My Love
Composer(s): Herbert Leventhal
Performer(s): Ray Charles
and multiple other artists
If I give you my love, what will you give in return
If I give you my love, will you cause my heart to yearn
And will it bring me sadness, with so many tears
And will it bring me gladness, all through out the years
If I give you my word, will you give me your word too
If I vow to yours, promise me that you'll be true
Am I playing with fire, tell me are you concerned
If I give you my love what will you give in return
Am I playing with fire, tell me are you concerned
If I give you my love, what will you give in return

Theme from the TV Show "The Ann Sothern Show"
Composer(s): Bonnie Lake; Ann Sothern
Katy, all the fellahs fall for Katy
'Cause Katy (wolf whistle) is the gal they adore
Katy, they'll give their all for Katy
'Cause Katy (wolf whistle) makes 'em whistle for more
She'll out-twinkle any star above
When you see her passin' by
Just one look and they all fall in love
She's the apple of their eye
Oh my, Katy
Katy, all the fellahs call for Katy
'Cause Katy (wolf whistle) is the gal they adore
They want more, more, more, more, more
Of Katy

If I Give My Soul
If I Give My Soul
Composer(s): Billy Joe Shaver
First release by: Billy Joe Shaver - 1993
Covered by multiple other artists
Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing
With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand
Such a foolish fool, God ain't known no greater sinner
I have come in search of Jesus, hoping he will understand
I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle
Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man
I had a steady job, till I started into drinking
And I started making music that went with the devil's band
Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles
My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind
It's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for
If I make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again
If I give my soul, will he cleanse these clothes i'm wearin'
If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet
If I bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness
Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity
If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking
If I give my soul, will my son love me again
If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it
If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again

Katy (Marc Aryan)
Katy
Composer(s): Marc Aryan
Performer(s): Marc Aryan
Ô! Katy, Katy
Je revois souvent
Ce petit coin discret
Dans ce vieux restaurant
L'air, près de la mer
Les rumeurs du port
Dispensaient à la nuit
Bien plus de charme encore!
Je t'aimais, Katy
Je t'aimais déjà
Mais tous les mots d'amour
Restaient au fond de moi
Par délicatesse, Katy
Pour un premier soir
Et parce je pensais
Qu'on pourrait se revoir
Maintenant Katy
Que je suis parti
Vers d'autres horizons
Si loin de ton pays
Je puis te le dire, Katy
Même le gai soleil
De mon midi
N'a pas chassé ton nom
Si doux, du fond de mon esprit!

Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and multiple other artists
If I give my heart to you
Will you handle it with care
Will you always treat me tenderly
And in every way be fair
If I give my heart to you
Will you give me all your love
Will you swear that you'll be true to me
By the light that shines above
And will you sigh with me when I'm sad
Smile with me when I'm glad
And always be as you are with me tonight
Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer til you do
When you promise all those things to me
Then I'll give my heart to you
And will you sigh with me when I'm sad
Smile with me when I'm glad
And always be as you are with me tonight
Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer til you do
When you promise all those things to me
Then I'll give my heart to you

Katy Daley
Composer(s): Ralp Stanley
Performer(s): The Stanley Brothers:
Roy Lee Centers; The Lonesome River Band
With her old man she came from Tiperary
In the pioneering days of '42
Her old man was shot in tombstone City
For the making of his good old mountain dew
Come on down the mountain Katy Daley
Come on down the mountain Katy do
Can't you hear us calling Katy Daley
We want to drink your good old mountain dew
Wake up and pay attention Katy Daley
For I'm the judge that's gonna sentence you
All the boys in court have drunk your whiskey
To tell the truth I like a little too
So to the jail they took poor Katy Daley
But pretty soon the gates were open wide
Angels came for poor ole Katy Daley
Took her far across the great divide

If I Fell
If I Fell
(French Version: Si Je Te Donne Mon Coeur - 1992)
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand
'cause I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands
If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
From the very start
That you would love me more than her
If I trust in you oh please
Don't run and hide
If I love you too oh please
Don't hurt my pride like her
'cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
'cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
If I fell in love with you

Katy Did
Katy Did
Composer(s): Porter Wagoner
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner
Two sisters lived alone out in the country
Their names were Katy and her sister Liz
They farmed to raise the food that graced their table
Liz never went to town but Katy did
Katy went to town each Saturday morning
To sell the eggs and buy for her and Liz
Their only needs just some salt and sugar
They grew the rest, her and sister Liz
Liz never went to town like Katy did
Liz never knew a man, but Katy did
For I saw them one evening when they thought they were hid
And you should've seen the things that him and Katy did
I walked by Liz and Katy's house each evening
Through the woods on my way home from school
Then one evening Katy smiled and spoke so softly
As I stood there blushing like a fool
Then she asked me if I'd like to have some cookies
That she baked for her and sister Liz
Then as Katy took me in their kitchen
I never closed the door, but Katy did
She took my hand and my heart beat so wildly
It sound like coffee a perking with no lid
And I shook so bad, I even dropped my cookies
I didn't know of love, but Katy did
Liz never knew a man, but Katy did
She said it's lonely here with sister Liz
But I just kept on eatin' cookies, I was just a dumb kid
I wish I'd known of love back then like Katy did
Oh, I wish I'd known of love back then like Katy did

If I Ever Make You Cry
If I Ever Make You Cry
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
If I ever make you cry
Long as I live, may my eyes never smile again
If I ever make you cry
All through my life
May my lips never laugh again
And if you should find that I
Have been untrue, may I never spend a happy day
And may I never hear, somebody say
Tender word (like I love you)
A tender voice (say I need you)
I make a vow, right here and now
That I will live
To love you
If I ever make you cry
Long as I live, may the world turn away from me
If I ever make you cry - even once
All through my life, may my dreams never come to be
And if I should ever
Ever Break your heart
May I never, see the sun appear
And may I go through life, and never hear ah!
Tender voice, (say I love you), your precious voice
Say I need you
Come to my arms, my waiting arms, and softly say
You love Me!

Katy Did, Katy Didn't
Katy Did, Katy Didn't
From the film "Mr. Bug Goes To Town"
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael; Frank Loesser
Performer(s: George Formby;
The Four Marshals, Stan Freed & Pauline Loth
There's a burning, burning question
concerning Katy Brown
And there's a bit of a suggestion
on the way they talk in town
Who came to Sunday school with cherries on her lids
Katy did, (Katy didn't,) Katy did, (Katy didn't)
Katy did, (Katy didn't), Oh, she did
And who kissed the banker's boy and ran away and hid
Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't)
Katy did, (Katy didn't), Oh, she did
Gracious what a scandal, every other girl would cry
She can't hold a candle to somebody such as I
But who got the banker's boy and fifty thousand quid
Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't)
You can bet your life she did
And who made the football team break training in the spring
Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't)
Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy didn't do a thing
And who dubbed the candy man for candy all the time
Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (no she didn't)
(She did), She didn't need a dime
Gracious ain't it awful, all the other girls would wail
Really it's unlawful why she ought to go to jail
But who got the banker's boy, the tall and handsome kid
Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't)
You can bet your life she did
Now who plays the clarinet and makes the darned thing wail
And who blows the trombone and he tells a woeful tale
Gracious ain't it awful, all the other band boys shout
He can't blow his trumpet now it's time to throw him out
And who plays the uke and nearly busted all his strings
(Georgie did), Georgie didn't, (Georgie did), No I didn't
You can bet your life he did

If I Ever Lose This Heaven
Composer(s): Pam Sawyer; Leon Ware
First release by: Quincy Jones - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
If you're foolin', only foolin'
All I ask is "Why?"
If you're playin', all I'm sayin'
Is feelings sure collide
If you're lyin', keep on lyin'
Don't tell the truth, don't you dare
You can't drop me, 'cause you still got me
After takin' me way up there
Oh, oh, oh, oh
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven
Whoa, I'll never be the same
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven
Whoa, I'll never be the same
When you're kind, extra kind
Then suddenly you're crossed
You're so moody, you get to me
Still can't turn you off
You're fascinating, more fascinating
Than the dark side of the moon
You're so exciting, that I'm re-writing
The book of love called "You"
Oh, oh, oh, oh
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven
Whoa, I'll never be the same
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven
Whoa, I'll never be the same
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I ever lose this heaven ...

Kaw-Liga
Composer(s): Fred Rose; Hank Williams Sr.
Performer(s): Hank Williams Sr.;
and various other artists
Verse 1:
Kaw-Liga was a wooden indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an indian maid over in the antique store
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no
Verse 2:
He always wore his sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knotty pine
Chorus:
Poor old kaw-liga, he never got a kiss
Poor old kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
Kaw-Liga,that poor old wooden head
Verse 3:
Kaw-Liga was a lonely indian, never went nowhere
His heart was set on the indian maid with the coal black hair
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no
Chorus:
Poor old kaw-liga, he never got a kiss
Poor old kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
Kaw-Liga,that poor old wooden head
Verse 4:
Then one day a wealthy customer bought the indian maid
And took her oh so far away, but old kaw-liga stayed
Kaw-Liga just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an old pine tree
Chorus:
Poor old kaw-liga, he never got a kiss
Poor old kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
Kaw-Liga,that poor old wooden head
Kaw-liga, Kaw-liga Kaw-Liga....

Had ik dan een reden om
hier te zijn, in dit aards paradijs
wachtend op de ochtendzon?
stel nu dat jij niet bestond
hoezeer zou ik jou missen dan?
welke kleur, welke geur, geef ik dan
aan ‘t groots en grandioos portret
dat ik voor jou had klaargezet
stel dat jij verdwijnen zou
herinnering als een vage flard
als een flirt, hoe je kirt, en je lacht
alles wat ons samenbracht
wat waren wij toch soms verward...
stel nu dat jij niet bestond
had ik dan een reden om
hier te zijn, in dit aards paradijs
wachtend op de ochtendzon?
zeg mij dat je wel bestaat
en dat het slechts om dromen ging
die mij ’s nachts, overdag, en op straat
vervolgen maar dan plotseling
verdwijnen als een tinteling...
