All I Can Do (The Carpenters)


All I Can Do
Composer(s): Richard Carpenter - John Bettis
Performer(s): The Carpenters



Yesterday I thought you'd stay
I though you'd see things my way
But now I see my hopes rainy day

I should have known when you said I was the one you wanted
wanting meant nothing more than today

All I can do is cry over you
and hope you return someday
All I can do is cry over you
since you've gone away

Ev'ry road that I follow leaves me with no tomorrow
I need someone to show me the way

All I can do is cry over you
and hope you return someday
All I can do is cry over you
since you've gone away

All I Can Do (Dolly Parton)


All I Can Do
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



It's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so
I wasn't looking for love when I found you
Just someone to be with and have a good time
But I get these strange funny feelings around you
When you're not with me, you're still on my mind

And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so

I had intended to wait for a long time
I thought that love would just mess up my plans
'Cause I had big plans for a bright shining future
Could this be my future that's holding my hand

And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so

I need to tell you how I feel about you
But I'm so afraid that you don't feel the same
But if I don't tell you how I feel about you
I just might lose you, can I take that chance

And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so

Who Do You Think You Are?


Who Do You Think You Are?
Composer(s): Des Dyer; Clive Scott
Performer(s): Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods



Who am I?
I'm just a guy who only wants to try
To do what's right and never make you cry
But you're no good to me, and

Who do you think you are?
You try to push me a bit too far
And every day sees another scar
Tell me, who do you think you are?
If you want me there, you gotta care
Who do you think you are, taking advantage of me this way?
Who do you think you are, hurting me more with everything you say?
It's not fair, you don't care
Who do you really think that you are?

Where are we?
We're at the crossroads and I just can't see
Which road to take to keep you here with me
The lights are down and baby,

Who do you think you are?
You try to push me a bit too far
And every day sees another scar
Tell me, who do you think you are?
If you want me there, you gotta care
Who do you think you are, taking advantage of me that way?
Who do you think you are, hurting me with everything you say?
It's not fair, you don't care
Who do you really think that you are?

Who am I?
I'm just a guy who only wants to try
To do what's right and never make you cry
But you're no good to me, and

Who do you think you are?
You try to push me a bit too far
And every day sees another scar
Tell me, who do you think you are?

Yeah, baby, who do you think you are?
You try to push me a bit too far
And every day sees another scar
Tell me, who do you think you are?

repaid me
denied me
and betrayed me...
He was bound to love you
when he heard you sing...

Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime...
say the word
and I will follow you...

Share each day with
me, each
night, each morning...

Phantom:
You will curse the day
you did not do
all that the Phantom asked
of you...!

Who Do You Love?


Who Do You Love?
Composer(s): Ellis McDaniel
Performer(s): Bo Diddley;
and various other artists



I walked 47 miles of barbed wire
Used a cobra snake for a neck tie
Got a brand new house on the roadside
Made out of rattlesnake hide
I got a brand new chimney made on top
Made out of human skulls
Now come on darling let's take a little walk, tell me

Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love

Arlene took me by the hand
And said oooh eeeh daddy I understand

Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love

The night was black and the night was blue
And around the corner an ice wagon flew
A bump was a hittin' lord and somebody screemed
You should have heard just what I seen

Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love

Arleen took me by my hand, she said
Ooo-ee Bo you know I understand
I got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind
I lived long enough and I ain't scared of dying

Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love

Meer Vraag Ik Niet Van Jou


Meer Vraag Ik Niet Van Jou
((Adapted from: All I Ask Of You (by Sarah Brightman & Steve Barton) - 1986))
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber - Charles Hart - Richard Stilgoe - Seth Gaaikema
Performer(s): Ann De Winne & Garry Hagger - 1998



Nooit meer sombere buien, angst voor het bestaan
Bij mij, ben je echt veilig
Jouw vrijheid is mij heilig

Nooit meer angstig huilen
Het zonlicht droogt de traan
Bij mij vind je bescherming, in troostende omarming

Breng de liefde in mijn eenzaam leven
Zing de zomer in mijn angstig hart

Zeg me, 'zonder jou kan ik niet leven'
Zeg me, dat in waarheid en in trouw
Meer vraag ik niet van jou

Kom maar bij me schuilen
Kruip maar dicht bij mij
Liefste, niemand zal het wagen, om jou angst aan te jagen

Wat ik wil, is vrijheid
Wat ik wil, is licht
En jij, jij zult me strelen en alles met me delen

Beloof me dan voorgoed bij mij te blijven
Deel de morgen, deel de dag, de nacht
Angst en eenzaamheid, zal ik verdrijven
Elke dag, maak ik de hemel blauw
Liefste, meer vraag ik niet van jou

Deel met mij de liefde heel mijn leven
Wijs de weg en ik ga met je mee
Deel met mij de dag, de nacht, de morgen
Zeg die woorden

Ik hou van jou

Liefste, meer vraag ik niet van jou

Elke dag, maak ik de hemel blauw
Liefste, meer vraag ik niet van jou

Venedig In Grau


Venedig In Grau ((Adapted from: Que C'est Triste Venise (Charles Aznavour) - 1964)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Françoise Dorin - Walter Brandin Performer(s): Corry Brokken - 1965

Versions In Other Languages: 1965 - How Sad Venice Can Be (Charles Aznavour) 1965 - Venice Blue (Bobby Darin) 1965 - Venecia Sin Ti (Charles Aznavour) 1965 - É Tão Triste Veneza (Agnaldo Timóteo) 1970 - Com'è Triste Venezia (Charles Aznavour)



Ein Venedig in grau
seh' ich heute vor mir
Damals war es so schön
da sah ich es mit dir

So verlassen und leer
schien die Stadt mir noch nie
Ein Venedig in grau
voller Melancholie

Barcarolen der Nacht
weht der Wind zu mir her
Aber sind sie verstummt
schmerzt die Stille noch mehr

Ein Venedig in grau
ohne dich bin ich hier
Die große Traurigkeit
geht immer neben mir

Ein Venedig in grau
ein verlorener Traum
All die Schönheit, die Pracht
heute seh' ich sie kaum

Ich schau weg, wenn ein Paar
in der Gondel sich küßt
Ein Venedig in grau
in dem du nicht mehr bist

Wenn die Sonne verglüht
steh' ich einsam am Meer
Meine Hand sucht die deine
doch sie bleibt leer

Ein Venedig in grau
das bescheint zwar der Mond
Doch traurig frag ich ihn
ob sich die Mühe lohnt

Nein, wohin ich hier schau
tut das Herz mir nur weh
Drum ihr Tauben, ihr Brücken
sage ich euch "Adieu"

Doch ich fürchte nur sehr
wohin ich immer geh'
Ist Venedig in grau
bis ich dich wiederseh'

Who Could Forget You


Who Could Forget You
French Title: Inoubliable
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Who could forget you
Who could regret you
Can't hold the shifting sands
Madness to love you
But I have to
My life is in your hands, and

Who could forget you
Once I had met you
Nothing could be the same
Fire and water
Angel's face and devil's daughter
For you, love's just a game

We were lovers, then engaged
And in desire chained
each other as emotion raged
Impassioned and insane
Still our bound remains
To survive even death
Written in our stars and blood
Eternally, we'll love together

Who could forget you
Who could regret you
No one could take your place
Illuminating, ever-changing, fascinating
Your presence thrills me, your being fills me
You are my state of grace

Who could forget you
Destiny sent you
Child of confusing charms
Contrite, concealing
In the naked night revealing
When you caress me
Then you possess me
In dreams, and in my arms

All I Am


All I Am
Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul - Susan Sheridan
First release by: Marti Webb - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



Who do you think you see
When you look at me
Is it somebody strong
Somebody you could admire
And who do you think I am
When I take your hand
Are you counting on me
To fill your dreams and your desires...

Well all I am
Is lonely (just) like you
All I wanna do
Is have one dream come true
All I am is handing you my heart
And hoping to be part of you

Who do you think you are
Standing in the dark
Are you waiting for me
Why can't I reach you from here
And how do I get to you
Won't you let me through
Don't you think maybe we
Have something special to be shared...

Well all I am
Is lonely (just) like you
All I wanna do
Is have one dream come true
All I am is handing you my heart
And hoping to be part of you

Who Can It Be Now?


Who Can It Be Now?
Composer(s): Colin Hay
Performer(s): Men At Work;
and various other artists



Who can it be knocking at my door?
Go ’way, don’t come ’round here no more
Can’t you see that it’s late at night?
I’m very tired, and I’m not feeling right
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don’t you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don’t come in - I’ll only run and hide

Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

Who can it be knocking at my door?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
If he hears, he’ll knock all day
I’ll be trapped, and here I’ll have to stay
I’ve done no harm, I keep to myself
There’s nothing wrong with my state of mental health
I like it here with my childhood friend
Here they come, those feelings again!

Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

Is it the man come to take me away?
Why do they follow me?
It’s not the future that I can see
It’s just my fantasy

Oh...who can it be now?
Oh...who can it...who can it...
Yeah yeah yeah

All His Children


All His Children
Composer(s): Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman - Henry Mancini
Performer(s): Henry Mancini
and multiple other artists



When you're standing alone with the mountains and the sea
Where the arms of the world are open wide
Where the truth is as plain as the falling rain
And as sure as the time and the tide

You know we're all his children, his next of kin
That's the way it's began
No matter where you're going or where you've been
You're part of the family of man

When you walk down the road and the sun is on your side
With the sweet river breeze on your face
Though you don't hear a sound as you look around
Everything sort of falls into place

You know we're all his children, his next of kin
That's the way it's began
No matter where you're going or where you've been
You're part of the family of man

Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)


Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Anthony Newley
Performer(s): Tony Bennett;
and various other artists



Who can I turn to when nobody needs me?
My heart wants to know and so I must go where destiny leads me
With no star to guide me and no one beside me
I'll go on my way and, after the day, the darkness will hide me

And maybe tomorrow I'll find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow, beg, steal, or borrow my share of laughter
With you I could learn to, with you what a new day
But who can I turn to if you turn away?

With you I could learn to, with you what a new day
But who can I turn to if you turn away?

All Good Things


All Good Things
Composer(s): John Woloschuk
Performer(s): Klaatu



I never had a closer friend than you
I never had such good times as the ones we used to have together
You're the one I told my problems to
Throughout the years remained true blue
No I never had a closer friend than you

But all good things must end
No use trying to pretend it isn't so
When it's time you gotta go
But I never had a better friend than you

I know it sounds a trifle odd
To those who've never had a dog
But I never had a closer friend than you

But all good things must end
No use crying for the dead and that's a fact
All my tears won't bring you back
But I never had a better friend than you
No I'll never have a better friend than you

Who Can I Run To?


Who Can I Run To?
Composer(s): Frank Alstin; Richard Roebuck; Charles Simmons
Performer(s): The Jones Girls;
and various other artists



Ha...

As I stand here contemplating
On the right thing to decide
Will I take the wrong direction all my life
Where will I go, will I go `head of me

I have strong determination
And I'm not afraid of change
I have yet to find that someone who would care
To satisfy me, to stay right by me, oh

Who can I run to (Who can I run to)
To share this empty space (Tell me)
Who can I run to
When I need love

Who can I run to (Who can I run to)
To fill this empty face with laughter
Who can I run to
When I need love (Oh, oh)

In my mind it's so confusing
Who will be that special one
Every day I'm trying to find you on the run
I've got to know is there a place for me

I know love counts for many meanings
In a message very clear
All it takes is time and patience to bring you near
But who's got me, tell me

Who can I run to (Who can I run to)
To share this empty space
Who can I run to
When I need love

Who can I run to
To fill this empty face with laughter
Who can I run to
When I need love

(Who)
(Ah...ha...ah...yeah...eah...)
(Tell me)

Who can (Who, who, yeah)
Who can I run to (Can I run to)
Who
When I need love (Tell me)

Who can (Who)
Who can I run to (Can I run to)
Who
When I need love (When I need love)

Who can (I wanna know)
Who can I run to (Who can I run to)
Who
When I need love (I need love)

All Going Back


All Going Back
Performer(s): George Formby



Now it’s funny where some women live who sing upon the stage
They live in places where they’ve never been
They’ll rave about the roses that are growing round the door
Of that, the dear old home they’ve never seen
They’ve lived in Arizona, they’ve lived in Alabam
Last year they all lived down in Texas way
It must be quite a job to move the dear old home about
But just the same this year you’ll hear them say

They’re all going back, they’re all going back
They’re all going back to Tennessee – and Dixie
They’ve all got mothers there and fathers by the score
They’ve moved the poor old folk about until their feet are sore
All of them say when they get back they’ll stay
What an overcrowded country it will be
But just one thing worries me
When they all go back to Tennessee
There’ll be no one left in Wigan but me

Who By Fire


Who By Fire
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
Performer(s): Leonard Cohen;
and various other artists



And who by fire, who by water
who in the sunshine, who in the night time
who by high ordeal, who by common trial
who in your merry merry month of May
who by very slow decay

and who shall I say is calling?
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate
who in these realms of love, who by something blunt
and who by avalanche, who by powder
who for his greed, who for his hunger
and who shall I say is calling?

And who by brave assent, who by accident
who in solitude, who in this mirror
who by his lady's command, who by his own hand
who in mortal chains, who in power
and who shall I say is calling?

Three cheers for the red, white and blue
Swing it up to the sky, don't ask how, don't ask why
Brother, go-go-oh-ho, blow-blow, 'way-hay-ay... the-em
Them dog-gone, shoo 'em now
Swing - swing - swing...

Who Broke The Lock (On The Henhouse Door)?


Who Broke The Lock (On The Henhouse Door)?
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Unique Quartette;
and various other artists



Well, a hen and a rooster from way out West
Said the hen to the rooster, "I love you the best"
The rooster said, "You're a pop-eyed liar,
I seen you flirting with the big Shanghai"

Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door

Down in the henhouse on my knees
I thought I heard a chicken sneeze
It was only rooster saying his prayers
And thanking the Lord for the hens upstairs

Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door

Now, my old hen's a good old hen
But she ain't laid a egg since I don't know when
Old hen cackle, cackling a lot
Next time she cackle, gonna cackle in the pot

Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door

Now, there was an old rooster 'bout forty years old
He'd done lots of things that'd never been told
His toes curled up, he could not scratch
But the young hens say his eggs still hatch

Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door

Now, the old rooster he said to the hen
"You know I love you, so let me in"
The hen said, "No! Just go away"
I'm sitting with my egg that I did lay

Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door

Said the big red rooster to the little red hen
"You ain't laid an egg in the Lord knows when"
Said the little red hen to the big red rooster
"You ain't been around quite as often as you used to"

Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door

Then the old fox said to the hen
"Open up the door or I'll break it in"
The hen said, "No!" and began to squawk
Ordered the rooster to secure the lock

Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door

Down by the farmer's barnyard gate
Blowed my horn, both soon and late
Farmer's dog couldn't bark nor bite
But the son of a gun, he could read and write

Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door

Now, Deacon Johnson and Missus Jones
Used to fool around when Jones weren't home
Come home one morning 'bout a quarter to four
Who went out that back door

Who broke the lock? I don't know
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Well, I'll find out before I go
Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
