If I Loved You


If I Loved You
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Mario Lanza
and multiple other artists



If I loved you
Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know
If I loved you
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go!
Longin' to tell you
But afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by!
Soon you'd leave me
Off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know how I loved you
If I loved you

From the film "Loving You"
Composer(s): Jessie Mae Robinson
Performer(s): Elvis Presley;
and various other artists



Some people like to rock
Some people like to roll
But movin' and a groovin'
Gonna satisfy my soul
Let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Oooh, let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Send 'im to the store
An' let's buy some more
An' let's have a party tonight

I've never kissed a bear
I've never kissed a goon
But I can shake a chicken
In the middle of the room
Let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Oooh, let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Send 'im to the store
An' let's buy some more
An' let's have a party tonight

Now Honky Tonky Joe
Is knockin' at the door
Bring him in and fill him up
And sit him on the floor
Let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Oooh, let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Send 'im to the store
An' let's buy some more
An' let's have a party tonight

The meat is on the stove
The bread is gettin' hot
Everybody come and taste
The possum Poppa shot
Let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Send `im to the store
An' let's buy some more
An' let's have a party tonight
We're really gonna have a party tonight

Alternate Version:



I feel it in my leg
I feel it in my shoe
Tell me pretty baby
If you think you feel it too
Let's have a party
Oooh, let's have a party
Send 'im to the store
And let's buy some more
And let's have a party tonight

So, baby paint your lips
And regulate your wig
And bring along a shovel
If you really wanna dig
Let's have a party
Oooh, let's have a party
Send 'im to the store
And let's buy some more
And let's have a party tonight

I've never kissed a bear
I've never kissed a goon
But I can shake a chicken
In the middle of the room
Let's have a party
Oooh, Let's have a party
Send 'im to the store
And let's buy some more
And let's have a party tonight
We're really gonna have a party tonight

If I Lost You
Composer(s): Riley King; Jules Taub
Performer(s): B.B. King



Hey, you're the greatest thing in my life, baby
Oh, without your love baby, I don't know just what I'll do
Oh, years of loving you, you've been so true
I believe I'd lose my mind if I lost you

Oh, I guess I've been lucky to have someone so dear
To talk and laugh and always bring me cheer
Oh, after all of this years, you've been so true to me baby
I believe I'd lose my mind if I lost you

Oh, after all the lies I've told you
Just like givin' you, givin' you the stars
Oh, buying you mink coats, mink coats and diamonds
Money in the bank and each year, each year two brand new cars

Hey, you've the greatest thing in my life baby
Oh, between me and you, I've know I got the best deal
Oh, let me thank you, thank you baby
You've been so true I'd lose my mind if I lost you

(Last Night) I Didn't Get To Sleep At All

(Last Night) I Didn't Get To Sleep At All
Composer(s): Tony MacAulay
Performer(s): The 5th Dimension;
Vikki Carr; Johnny Mathis



Last night I didn’t get to sleep at all
no, no

I lay awake and watched until the mornin’ light
Washed away the darkness of the lonely night (lonely night)

Oh, and last night I got to thinkin’ maybe I, I, I
Should call you up and just forget my foolish pride
I heard your number ringin’, I went cold inside
And last night I didn’t get to sleep at all

I know it’s not my fault, I did my best
God knows this heart of mine could use a rest
But more and more I find the dreams I left behind
Are somehow too real to replace (replace)

Oh, last night I didn’t get to sleep at all, no, no
The sleepin’ pill I took was just a waste of time
I couldn’t close my eyes ‘cause you were on my mind
And last night I didn’t get to sleep, didn’t get to sleep
No, I didn’t get to sleep at all

But more and more I find the dreams I left behind
Are somehow too real to replace (replace)

Oh, last night I didn’t get to sleep at all, no, no
The sleepin’ pill I took was just a waste of time
I couldn’t close my eyes ‘cause you were on my mind
And last night I didn’t get to sleep, didn’t get to sleep
No, I didn’t get to sleep at all, no, no, no

No, no, no
Ho, last night I didn’t get to sleep at all, no, no
Last night I didn’t get to sleep at all, oh, ho
Last night I didn’t get to sleep at all

If I Learned To Play The Violin


If I Learned To Play The Violin
Composer(s): Joey Levine; Artie Resnick
Performer(s): The Monkees



If I learned to play the violin
And I traded my old guitar in
Would your parents still object
Or would I win their respect
If I learned to play the violin?
I would even go and cut my hair
Though my friends would point and say I'm square
Girl, would your society
Still look down their nose at me
If I learned to play the violin?
I'd give up my beat-ways
Take up more discreet ways
All you've got to do is ask me to
Whoa-oa, just ask me to
And I'd learn to play the violin
Turn my back on everything I've been
I'd be like somebody new
But, not change my love for you
If I learned to play the violin

I'd give up my beat-ways
Take up more discreet ways
All you've got to do is ask me to
Whoa-oa, just ask me to
And I'd learn to play the violin
Yes, I'd learn to play the violin
And I'd learn to play the violin
Yes, I'd learn to play the violin

'K Zag Twee Beren

'K Zag Twee Beren
Performer(s): Louis Neefs



'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren
Oh, dat was een wonder
't Was een wonder, boven wonder
Dat die beren konden smeren
Wat ik zeg is echt waar
'k Stond erbij en ik keek ernaar

'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren
Alle lieve dagen
Kwamen vele mensen vragen
Of die beren wilden smeren
En zo werd dat hun taak
In hun eigen broodjeszaak

'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren
Met beleg naar keuze
Smaakten al die broodjes reuze
Want die beren konden smeren
Iedereen kwam steeds weer
Om zo'n broodje van een beer

'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren
Maar bij 't winst verdelen
Wilden ze elkaar bestelen
Eén der beren ging hem smeren
Hij begon toen meteen
Pal rechtover heel alleen

'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren
Om de lieve centen
Waren ze nu concurrenten
En die beren alsmaar smeren
Loerend vol nijd en haat
Naar den overkant der straat

'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren
Maar geen belgetinkel
Klonk in dees of gene winkel
Waar die beren bleven smeren
Ook al werd door hun fout
Al hun brood droog en oud

'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren
Heel bedroefd en somber
Elk z'n zaakje ging ten onder
Doordat beren moeten smeren
Zonder haat of venijn
Omdat zij geen mensen zijn

'k Zag twee beren broodjes smeren
Wetend dat in 't leven
Enkel eendracht macht kan geven
Zijn die beren om te smeren
Weder na ruggespraak
Samen in één broodjeszaak

Come in!
Well, well, well
Look who's here
I haven't seen you in many a year

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake, baked a cake, baked a cake
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Howdya do, howdya do, howdya do?

Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band
Grandest band in the land
Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band
And spread the welcome mat for you

Oh, I don't know where you came from
'cause I don't know where you've been
But it really doesn't matter
Grab a chair and fill your platter
And dig, dig, dig right in

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake, hired a band, goodness sake!
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Howdya do, howdya do, howdya do?

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake, baked a cake, baked a cake
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Howdya do, howdya do, howdya do?

Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band
Grandest band in the land
Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band
Spread the welcome mat for you

Oh, I don't know where you came from
'cause I don't know where you've been
But it really doesn't matter
Grab a chair and fill your platter
And dig, dig, dig right in

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake, hired a band, goodness sake!
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake

'K Zie Zoe Gere M'n Duivenkot

'K Zie Zoe Gere M'n Duivenkot
Performer(s): Bobbejaan Schoepen



Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot
Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot
Want daar kun je alles vergeten
En zul je van zorgen nooit weten

Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot
Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot
Kom deel nu met mij daar je leven en lot
Hoog op m'n duivenkot

Ik heb een mansarde gemeubeld gehuurd
Vlak neffes een klein stamineeke
Bij 't Antwerpse Steen, een gezellige buurt
Daar wil ik u even van spreken

Ik woon daar alleen en geen mens die me stoort
Door het raam zie ik de wolken verschuiven
Het enig geluid dat ge daar bij me hoort
Dat is het gekoer van m'n duiven

Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot
Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot
Want daar kun je alles vergeten
En zul je van zorgen nooit weten

Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot
Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot
Kom deel nu met mij daar je leven en lot
Hoog op m'n duivenkot

M'n buurman, de baas van het klein staminee
Is ook al verzot op m'n duiven
Hij gaat ieder zondag een keer met me mee
Dan moet ge ons samen zien schuiven

Die baas heeft een dochter, een duifke gelijk
Zo lief en zo slank is dat blondje
En als ik haar diep in haar oogjes dan kijk
Dan klinkt uit haar lachende mondje

Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot
Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot
Want daar kun je alles vergeten
En zul je van zorgen nooit weten

Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot
Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot
Kom deel nu met mij daar je leven en lot
Hoog op m'n duivenkot

Toen heb ik dat duifke naar boven gebracht
En ben er een nestje gaan bouwen
Gelijk als een duiver houd ik daar de wacht
Want duifkes zijn niet te vertrouwen

Geen duiver laat ik op m'n duivenkot toe
M'n duifke zal ik heus zelf wel voeren
Want 'k weet als een andere duiver haar ziet
Dat hij ook dat liedje zal koeren

Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot
Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot
Want daar kun je alles vergeten
En zul je van zorgen nooit weten

Ik zie zoe gere m'n duivenkot
Daar te zijn is m'n grootst genot
Kom deel nu met mij daar je leven en lot
Hoog op m'n duivenkot

Composer(s): Will Tura; Nelly Byl
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey



'k Zoek een meisje, een meisje als jij
'k Wil een meisje, een meisje als jij
Een lief meisje,
een meisje als jij aan m'n zij


Vroeger was ik een rokkenjager
Geen meisje was veilig voor mij
Ik ging veel uit en iedere avond
Had ik een ander aan men zij
Maar nu ben ik al heel wat kalmer
De wilde haren zijn eruit
Ik vlieg niet meer van d'één naar d'ander
En wat ik nu wens is een bruid

'k Zoek een meisje, een meisje als jij
'k Wil een meisje, een meisje als jij
Een lief meisje, een meisje als jij aan m'n zij
't Hoeft geen schoonheid te zijn of een griet
Zoals je in de modebladen ziet
Maar gewoon een lief meisje, een meisje als jij

Ja nu ben ik al heel wat kalmer
De wilde haren zijn eruit
Ik vlieg niet meer van d'één naar d'ander
En wat ik nu wens is een bruid

'k Zoek een meisje, een meisje als jij
'k Wil een meisje, een meisje als jij
Een lief meisje, een meisje als jij aan m'n zij
't Hoeft geen schoonheid te zijn of een griet
Zoals je in de modebladen ziet
Maar gewoon een lief meisje, een meisje als jij

'k Zoek een meisje, een meisje als jij
'k Wil een meisje, een meisje als jij
Een lief meisje, een meisje als jij aan men zij.

'k Zoek een meisje dat veel van me houdt
'k Wil een meisje dat mij ook vertrouwt
En dat meisje, dat meisje voor mij dat ben jij

'k Zoek een meisje dat veel van me houdt
'k Wil een meisje dat mij ook vertrouwt
En dat meisje, dat meisje voor mij dat ben jij

'k Zoek een meisje dat veel van me houdt
'k Wil een meisje dat mij ook vertrouwt
En dat meisje, dat meisje voor mij dat ben jij

I've had my chances, had my romances too
Somehow it seemed they wouldn't do
Then while I waited, Heaven created you
And ev'ry dream I dreamed came true

You, you darlin'
You're what I've always hoped and prayed for
You, darlin', it's true

You, you darlin'
This heart of mine was only made for
You, darlin', just you

When I see the sweetness of you
I'm lost in the thrill
Because I can say I love you
And I always will

Oh you, you darlin'
I don't know what I'd do without you
You, darlin' you
I love you and always will, my darlin' you!

Kaliforniens Guld


Kaliforniens Guld
Composer(s): Kenneth Gärdestad; Ted Gärdestad
Performer(s): Ted Gärdestad



Jag satt ensam kvar på stranden
av ett gungande hav
med mitt huvud tungt i handen
när en båt gav sig av

den seglar efter guld
Kaliforniens guld
och drömmen jag lever av
är långt bortom blåa hav

Jag gick sakta ner till hamnen
för att smyga mig ombord
med min sovsäck hårt i famnen
och en fot på vår jord

Solen blänker från min spegel
morgondaggen ligger våt
när jag skakar mina segel
och skall vända min båt

Den seglar efter guld
Kaliforniens guld
och drömmen jag lever av
är långt bortom vida hav...

När det blivit dags att sova
och att drömma sig full
då kan alla stjärnor lova
Kaliforniens guld
då kan alla stjärnor lova
Kaliforniens guld

mm mm mm mmmmm

First recording by: Al Starita & the Piccadilly Players - 1928
Covered by multiple other artists



I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad - all of the while
I could change the gray skies to blue
If I had you

I could leave the old days behind
Leave all my pals - I'd never mind
I could start my life anew
If I had you

I could climb a snow-capped mountain
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning desert
If I had you by my side

I could be a king, dear - uncrowned
Humble or poor - rich or renowned
There is nothing I couldn't do
If I had you

La peau
Caraïbo
Je danse et j'ai chaud
Comme un guérillero
Aux yeux de brasero

Kalimba de luna
Envoûte moi
Fais claquer tes doigts
Sur des bouts de bois
Hé, oh, hoo, ah
Andanuevà sientele intalos
Hé, oh, hoo, ah
Andanuevà sientele intalos

Kalimba de luna
Kalimba de luna

Kalimba de sol
Déchire la nuit
La folie du rainbow
C'est l'amour sorcier
Hé, hé, hé, hé, héééééé
Oh Mama oh

Hé, oh, hoo, ah
Andanuevà sientele intalos

{Instrumental}

Kalimba de luna, Kalimba de luna

If I Had Wings (Simple Minds)


If I Had Wings
Composer(s): Charlie Burchill; Jim Kerr
Performer(s): Simple Minds



Open inside something about this pain
There's something about this sweet refrain
Reminds me that you're not there
And if I could care there's something about this curse
Like a needle inside a silken purse
Reminds me of all that you'd bring
If I had wings
I'm still standing

Blue mountain high
Only the fables get to fly
Without these words there's no reason why
It reminds me of all that you bring

If I had wings
Would like to teach myself
If I had wings
Would learn to stir myself
If I had wings
Strapped inside won't be denied

Nightmare brings
All that you said
And if I could fly
Long time saviour
That's the sinner's crime
Well without such trust
I know that I can never find
Never find - Never find - Never find

If I had wings
If I had wings

I'm still standing

Never find - Never find - Never find

Open inside something about this pain
There's something about this sweet refrain
Reminds me that you're not there
And if I could care there's something about this curse
Like a needle inside a silken purse
Reminds me of all that you'd bring
If I had wings
If I had wings
If I had wings
If I had wings
