Night By Night
Night By Night
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan; Ana Popovic
It’s a beggar's life, said the queen of Spain
But don’t tell it to a poor man
’Cause he’s got to kill for every thrill
The best he can
Everywhere around me
I see jealousy and mayhem
Because no men have all their peace of mind
To carry them
Well I don’t really care
If it’s wrong or if it’s right
But until my ship comes in
I’ll live night by night
When the joker tried to tell me
I could cut it in this rube town
When he tried to hang that sign on me
I said take it down
When the dawn patrol got to tell you twice
They’re gonna do it with a shotgun
Yes, I’m cashing in this ten-cent life
For another one
Well I ain’t got the heart
To lose another fight
So until my ship comes in
I’ll live night by night
Well I don’t really care
If it’s wrong or if it’s right
But until my ship comes in
I’ll live night by night

Night Boat
Night Boat
Composer(s): Duran Duran; Simon LeBon; Nick Rhodes;
Andy Taylor; John Taylor; Roger Taylor
Performer(s): Duran Duran
Standing on the edge of the quay
No light flashes on the water for me
Fog in my mind darkness in my eyes
Silently screaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows
Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night
Listen to the rising water moan
I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat
I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat
Shadows all through me shudder away
Echo me echo me am I alone
Or is the river alive cause it
Echoes me echoes me echoes me
I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat
Waiting, waiting for the nightboat
I'm waiting
I'm waiting waiting for the nightboat
I'm waiting for the nightboat

Is It True What They Say About Dixie?
Is It True What They Say About Dixie?
Composer(s): Irving Caesar; Sammy Lerner; Gerald Marks
Performer(s): Al Jolson
and multiple other artists
Is it true what they say about Dixie?
Does the sun really shine all the time?
Do the sweet magnolias blossom at ev'rybody's door?
Do folks keep eating possum
Till they can't eat no more?
Is it true what they say about Swanee?
Is a dream by that stream so sublime?
Do they laugh, do they love, like they say in ev'ry song?
If it's true, that's where I belong

Night And Day (U2)
Night And Day
Performer(s): U2
Where the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick
tick of the eye of the
clock
You're standing up
against the wall
Like the drip drip drip
of the rain drops
When the sun shines through
So a voice within me
Keeps revealing you...you
Night and day
You are the one
Only you beneath the moon
And under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, baby
where you are
I think of you
Night and day
Day and night
Why is it so
That this longing for
you follows wherever
I go
In the roaring traffic gloom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day
Night and day
Under the hide of me
Though such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
This torment won't be through
'til you let me spend
my life making love
to you
Day and night
Night and day
Night and day
Under the hide of me
Oh, such a hungry yearning
Burning, burning inside of me
This torment won't be through
'til you let me spend
my life making love
to you

Is It Taboo?
Is It Taboo?
Composer(s): Albert De Bru; Edgar Leslie
Performer(s): Dinah Shore; Artie Shaw
Whether or not you love me
I dare to care
Dreaming is sweet ecstasy
So I aim high
Taboo, it's taboo
To reach out for an angel's affection
But what can I do
When you keep smiling in my direction
Taboo, it's taboo
To exhibit such charms for inspection
Who'll disobey the rule?
Is it taboo to fall in love with you?
Taboo, it's taboo
To exhibit such charms for inspection
Who'll disobey the rule?
Is it taboo to fall in love with you?
Tabooooooooooo!

Night And Day
((French Version: Tout Le Jour, Toute La Nuit (Damia) - 1937))
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance: Fred Astaire - 1932
Covered by multiple other artists
Like the beat, beat, beat
Of the tom-tom

Like the drip, drip, drip
Of the raindrops
When the summer show'r is through
So a voice within me
Keeps repeating
You, you, you
Night and day
You are the one
Only you
Beneath the moon
And under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter
Darling, where you are
I think of you
Night and day
Day and night
Why is it so
That this longing for you follows
Where-ever I go?
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day
Night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an
Oh, such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life
Making love to you
Day and night
Night and day

Is It Still Over?
Is It Still Over?
Composer(s): Ken Bell; Larry Henley
Performer(s): Randy Travis
Being without you has turned out to be so inconvenient
And wishing I was with you just seems to use up all my time
You've been gone so long that it's hard to recall
Just how the dream went
And all but this broken heart in me I guess is doing fine
Is it still over, are we still through
Since my phone still ain't ringing I assume it still ain't you
I've half a mind to take the time to find somebody new
But I'm not too sure that I'm still over you
That lie that I tried to slip by you
Was told with good intentions
It was just another way to say I love you
And protect you from the truth
Half a pound of cure is surely worth a half an ounce of pure prevention
And trying to explain while I'm insane
Is the hardest thing I've ever tried to do
Is it still over, are we still through
Since my phone still ain't ringing I assume it still ain't you
I've half a mind to take the time to find somebody new
But I'm not too sure that I'm still over you
If I repeat myself it's cause I've nothing else to do
And I'm not too sure that I'm still over you

Night
Night
Composer(s): John Lehman; Ron Miller
Performer(s): Jackie Wilson
Night, here comes the night
Another night to dream about you
Night, each lonely night
The only time I'm not without you
Once more, I feel your kisses
Once more, I know what bliss is
Comes dawn, my darling, you're gone
But you come back into my arms each night
Once more, I feel your kisses
Once more, I know what bliss is
Comes dawn, my darling, you're gone
But you come back into my arms each night

Is It Something You've Got?
Is It Something You've Got?
Composer(s): Barry Despenza; Carl Wolfolk
Performer(s): Tyrone Davis
Oh when I first said I was leaving
Girl, I didn't think I would have to stay gone so long
Ah but now five weeks have ended
And I just realized that I did you worng
But just think y'all I thought I was a big thing
But apparently she thought not
There must be something that I'm missing
Or is it something that she's got
Oh baby what is that you got now baby
Oh I thought I had your mind right
Cause this is what you led me to believe
Oh but now I'm the one who's uptight
And baby I'm the one who's got to plead
But just think y'all, I thought I was a big thing
But apparently she thought not
There must be something that I'm missing
Or is it something that she's got
Oh baby what is that you got now baby
All your sweet lovin' baby
Is oh so devastating to a man
Ah but just like black magic baby
I'm no fool but I couldn't understand
But just think y'all I thought I was a big thing
But apparently she thought not
There must be something that I'm missing
Or is it something that she's got
Oh baby what is that you got now
It makes me wanna cry
Baby I love you
Oh baby, oh baby, baby, baby

Nieuwe Liefde, Nieuwe Dromen
Nieuwe Liefde, Nieuwe Dromen
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Cahelo; Christill
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen
Als een lentewind die stil
Wat muziek maakt in de bomen
Waai je nu doorheen mijn ziel
Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen
Grijs wordt rood, geel en blauw
Kleuren net als regenbogen
En dat komt alleen door jou
Het geluk is zo mooi als j'er zelf aan bouwt,
Het komt nooit uit zichzelf naar je toe
Na een traan komt weer een lach
Na de nacht een nieuwe dag
Met die zon in je hart
Vergeet je leed en smart
Het regent geluk op je neer
Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen
Als een lentewind die stil
Wat muziek maakt in de bomen
Waai je nu doorheen mijn ziel
Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen
Grijs wordt rood, geel en blauw
Kleuren net als regenbogen
En dat komt alleen door jou
Na een traan komt weer een lach
Na de nacht een nieuwe dag
Je bent niet meer alleen
Kijk wat de liefde kan
Het regent geluk om je heen
Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen
Als een lentewind die stil
Wat muziek maakt in de bomen
Waai je nu doorheen mijn ziel
Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen
Grijs wordt rood, geel en blauw
Kleuren net als regenbogen
En dat komt alleen door jou
Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen

Is It Really Over?
Is It Really Over?
Composer(s): Jim Reeves
First recording/First release by: Jim Reeves - 1964/1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Is it really over
Is this the end of the line
Don't tell me I'm losing
The love that was mine
If you're really leaving
Take some part of me
So I'll always remember
How sweet love used to be
I wonder who's stepping into my shoes
Who can he be
I can tell by your eyes our love has died
And it's over for me
I wonder who's stepping into my shoes
Who can he be
I can tell by your eyes our love has died
And it's over for me
Really over for me

Niets Meer Is Nog Hopeloos
Niets Meer Is Nog Hopeloos
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Andy Free
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Ik had de hoop reeds opgegeven
En men dagboek toe gevouwd
't Was nog warm en vol van 't leven
Maar het was op niets gebouwd
Soms ging de vonk nog even branden
In het midden van de strijd
Maar even vlug sloot ik mijn handen weer
Als zonde van de tijd
Toen kwam jij plots als een zegen
Als een golfslag aangedreven
En niets meer, niets meer is nog hopeloos
Nee niets meer, niets meer is nog ademloos
Niets meer houdt me tegen
'k Voel me slecht als ik je pijn doe
En je afbek onterecht
Maar de schuldvraag slaat nog steeds toe
Als de twijfel met de vecht
Maar dan kom jij uit de verte
Slaap de wanhoop weer aan scherven
En niets meer, niets meer is nog hopeloos
Ja niets meer, niets meer is nog ademloos
Neen niets meer houdt me tegen
Ik zal leven, leven
Ik zal leven

Performer(s): Alice Cooper - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
What have I got
that makes you want to love me
Is it my body
or someone I might be
or somethin' inside me
You better tell me
Tell me
It's really up to you
Have you got the time to find out
Who I really am
What does it take
to get inside of your mind
Give me a break
and take a chance for the very first time
You better tell me
Tell me
It's really up to you
Have you got the time to find out
Who I really am
What have I got
that makes you want to love me
Now is it my body
or someone I might be
or somethin' in side me
You better tell me
Tell me
It's really up to you
Have you got the time to find out
Who I really am

Niemand Weet Hoeveel Ik Van Je Hou
Niemand Weet Hoeveel Ik Van Je Hou
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; B. Campos; N. Byl
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Niemand weet hoeveel ik van je hou
Niemand weet hoe vaak ik treur om jou
Want die liefdetranen die ik ween
Weten slechts m'n hart en ik alleen
In de vroege morgen
Als ik gans alleen ontwaak
Dan denk ik aan jou
Die niets van al m'n weemoed raakt
Dan ben ik zo droevig
Want je allereerste blik
Zal weer voor een ander zijn
Een ander dan ik
Niemand weet hoeveel ik van je hou
Niemand weet hoe vaak ik treur om jou
Want die liefdetranen die ik ween
Weten slechts mijn hart en ik alleen
En iedere avond
Wanneer het licht uitgaat
Dan denk ik aan jou
Die niets van al m'n weemoed raakt
Dan ben ik zo droevig
Want je allereerste blik
Zal weer voor een ander zijn
Een ander dan ik
Niemand weet hoeveel ik van je hou
Niemand weet hoe vaak ik treur om jou
Want die liefdetranen die ik ween
Weten slechts m'n hart en ik alleen
Niemand weet hoeveel ik van je hou
Niemand weet hoe vaak ik treur om jou
Want die liefdetranen die ik ween
Weten slechts m'n hart en ik alleen, alleen

Niemand Anders Dan Jij
Niemand Anders Dan Jij
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Vrouwen om me heen
De lust en passie van een man
Een wereld van verlangen
Een paradijs waar dromen kan
Uitdagend als ze zijn
Soms onweerstaanbaar mooi
Verleidelijk, bekoorlijk, steeds lief en frivool
Maar als ik jou dan zie
Komt de illusie tot leven
Zijn alle charmes verweven
In een enkele vrouw
Niemand anders dan jij
Geeft me meer dan die dromen
Weet me zo te bekoren
Niemand anders dan jij
Soms is er die vrees
Dat ik me alles heb verbeeld
Dat ik je beeld creëerde
Om niet meer alleen te zijn
Maar als ik jou dan zie
Komt de illusie tot leven
Zijn alle charmes verweven
In een enkele vrouw
Niemand anders dan jij
Geeft me meer dan die dromen
Weet me zo te bekoren
Niemand anders dan jij
De ultieme vrouw dat ben jij voor mij
Een oase van tederheid en een eindeloze intimiteit
Je maakt me oneindig
Want sterk als de dood is m'n liefde voor jou
Je lichaam zo volmaakt
Als in satijn gekleed
Je beeldhouwt als een Venus
Je lippen, je mond zo sensueel
Je diepe warme blik
Het golven van je zachte haar
Doet me steeds weer genieten
Van die liefdesnachten bij elkaar

Is It Because
Is It Because
Composer(s): A. Blaikley; K. Howard
Performer(s): The Honeycombs
Is it because it's a summer's night?
Is it because the stars are bright?
Is it because there's music and wine?
I feel so fine when I'm with you
No, it's because your eyes are shining
It's because I see you smiling
It's because tonight I fell for you
Is it because my dancing shoes
Really move, to let her on blues?
Is it because the group is realy gear?
I walk on air when I'm with you
No, it's because we're here together
I just want to dance forever
It's because tonight I fell for you
No, it's because your eyes are shining
It's because I see you smiling
It's because tonight I fell for you
It's because your hands in my hand
It's because you understand
It's because I know you love me too
Is it because
Is it because
Is it because
