As Long As He Needs Me


As Long As He Needs Me
Composer(s): Lionel Bart
First performance: Georgia Brown - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists



As long as he needs me
Oh, yes, he does need me
In spite of what you see
I'm sure that he needs me

Who else would love him still
When they've been used so ill?
He knows I always will
As long as he needs me

I miss him so much when he is gone
But when he's near me
I don't let on

The way I feel inside
The love I have to hide
The hell! I've got my pride
As long as he needs me

He doesn't say the things he should
He acts the way he thinks he should
But all the same
I'll play this game
His way...

As long as he needs me
I know where I must be
I'll cling on steadfastly
As long as he needs me

As long as life is long
I'll love him right or wrong
And somehow I'll be strong
As long as he needs me

If you are lonely
Then you will know
When someone needs you
You love them so

I won't betray his trust
Though people say I must
I've got to stay true, just
As long as he needs me

Café Oriental


Café Oriental Composer(s): André Tabet - Georges Tabet Performer(s): Vico Torriani



Leidei, leidei, leideidei
Leidei, leideidei!
Leidei, leidei, leideidei!
Jey, jey, jey, jey, jey!

Im Orient gibt's ein Lokal, das Cafe Oriental
jeder Scheich war schon einmal, im Cafe Oriental
Dies Lokal ist ein Magnet, dort gibt's Frauen ohne Zahl
und wer so was sucht, der geht ins Cafe Oriental

Leidei, leidei, leideidei
Leidei, leideidei!
Leidei, leidei, leideidei!
Jey, jey, jey, jey, jey!

Eine war besonders schön, im Cafe Oriental
sie sah aus wie die Loren, im Cafe Oriental
Herrlich war ihr Dekolleté, sie war schlank und so schmal
und war braun wie der Kaffee, im Cafe Oriental

Leidei, leidei, leideidei
Leidei, leideidei!
Leidei, leidei, leideidei!
Jey, jey, jey, jey, jey!

Ich ging lächelnd auf sie zu, im Cafe Oriental
bat sie um ein Rendezvous, im Cafe Oriental
Kaum war ich in ihrer Näh', flog ich raus aus dem Saal
denn ihr Mann war der Portier, vom Cafe Oriental

Leidei, leidei, leideidei
Leidei, leideidei!
Leidei, leidei, leideidei!
Jey, jey, jey, jey, jey!

Doch weil ich so gerne bin, im Cafe Oriental
geh ich morgen wieder hin, ins Cafe Oriental
Aber lacht mich eine an, frag ich erst sie einmal
Sag'n Sie hab'n Sie einen Mann, im Cafe Oriental

Leidei, leidei, leideidei
Leidei, leideidei!
Leidei, leidei, leideidei!
im Cafe Oriental!

As If We Never Said Goodbye


As If We Never Said Goodbye
Composer(s): Don Black - Christopher Hampton - Andrew Lloyd Webber - Amy Powers
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
and multiple other artists



I don’t know why I’m frightened
I know my way around here
The cardboard trees, the painted scenes, the sound here
Yes a world to rediscover
But I’m not in any hurry
And I need a moment

The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways
The atmosphere as thrilling here as always
Feel the early morning madness
Feel the magic in the making
Why everything’s as if we never said goodbye

I’ve spent so many mornings
Just trying to resist you
I’m trembling now
You can’t know how I’ve missed you
Missed the fairy-tail adventures
In this ever-spinning playground
We were young together

I’m coming out of make-up
The lights already burning
Not long until the camera’s will start turning
And the early morning madness
And the magic in the making...
Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye

I don’t want to be alone that’s all in the past
This world’s waited long enough
I’ve come home at last!

And this time will be bigger
And brighter than we knew it
So watch me fly, we all know I can do it...
Could I stop my hand from shaking?
Has there ever been a moment with so much to live for?

The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways
So much to say not just today but always
We’ll have early morning madness
We’ll have magic in the making
Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye...
Oh, please don’t ever ever make me say goodbye!!!

Mijn Hart Is Geen Speelgoed


Mijn Hart Is Geen Speelgoed
Performer(s): Rosita & Club 68



Mijn hart is geen speelgoed het is niet van steen
Je kunt er niet mee blijven spelen
Nee mijn hart is geen speelgoed laat mij maar alleen
M'n smart daar kom ik wel overheen

Dacht je dat ik niet wist, dat er een ander is
Zeg niet het is niet waar, dan zit je te liegen
Dacht je dat ik niet wist, dat jij die ander mist
Wanneer ik bij je ben, je blijft me bedriegen

Maar mijn hart is geen speelgoed het is niet van steen
Je kunt er niet mee blijven spelen
Nee, mijn hart is geen speelgoed, laat mij maar alleen
M'n smart daar kom ik wel overheen
mmm mmmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm

Dacht je dat ik niet zag, dat je vaak om mij lacht
Zeg niet het is niet waar, je liegt met je ogen
Jaren bleef jij bij mij, enkel uit medelij
Als je van liefde sprak, heb jij steeds gelogen

Maar mijn hart is geen speelgoed, het is niet van steen
Je kunt er niet mee blijven spelen
Nee, mijn hart is geen speelgoed, laat mij maar alleen
M'n smart daar kom ik wel overheen
mmmmm mmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm

As If


As If
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



It was more than a matter of knowin'
Or the words that were finally said
It was more than the comin' or goin'
Or the things that were made in your head
It was more than a matter of wantin'
And needin' the foolish things I gave

As if I ever cared to make you cry
Could've been right to know that it was't
Yet you knew I was sorry
I dared to make you cry
As if I would
As if I could
As if I tried

But the words that were finally spoken
Like the thoughts that remain in my soul
And hearts that were finally broken
And embrace that never be hold
And the words that I never told you
But I told you, the foolish things I said

As if I ever cared to make you cry
I could've been right to know that I wasn't
Yet you knew that I was sorry
I dared to make you cry
As if I would
As if I could
As if I tried

As if I ever cared to make you cry
I could've been right to know that I wasn't
Yet you knew that I was sorry
I dared to make you cry
Could have been strong but the words didn't rhyme
And the things that would come between us

Do not disturb my dog on the porch
If you are lost then you best get a horse
Do not disturb my goat in the mud

Do not disturb the beers in my head

Nice and loose 'cause we do too
I know that you do get
Nice and loose 'cause we do too
Dee de lay ee ay ee de lo ooh oh ooh de lay ee
Dee de lay ee ay ee de lo ooh oh ooh de lay ee

As I Went Out One Morning


As I Went Out One Morning
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan



As I went out one morning
To breathe the air around Tom Paine's
I spied the fairest damsel
That ever did walk in chains
I offer'd her my hand
She took me by the arm
I knew that very instant
She meant to do me harm

"Depart from me this moment"
I told her with my voice
Said she, "But I don't wish to"
Said I, "But you have no choice"
"I beg you, sir," she pleaded
From the corners of her mouth
"I will secretly accept you
And together we'll fly south"

Just then Tom Paine, himself
Came running from across the field
Shouting at this lovely girl
And commanding her to yield
And as she was letting go her grip
Up Tom Paine did run
"I'm sorry, sir," he said to me
"I'm sorry for what she's done"

O Wie Gut


O Wie Gut ((Adapted from: Don't Be Cruel (Elvis Presley) - 1956)) Composer(s): Elvis Presley - Otis Blackwell Performer(s): Peter Kraus - 1963

Versions In Other Languages: 1956 - Sois Pas Cruelle (Georges Ulmer) 1980 - Kom Terug (Will Tura) 1989 - No Seas Cruel (Alejandra Guzmán)



Zwei mal zwei ist vier
Doch leider nicht bei Dir
Immer glaubst Du nur das Schlechteste von mir
O wie gut, dass ich Dich liebe

Drei mal drei ist neun
Doch Du siehst das nicht ein
Immer glaubst Du nur, ich müsste treulos sein
O wie gut, dass ich Dich liebe

Sonst bliebe ich zu Haus
Und ginge keinen Tag mehr mit Dir aus

Oh Baby, was ich sagen tu'
Du lässt mir keine Ruh'
Immer fühle ich, Du traust mir alles zu
O wie gut, dass ich Dich liebe

Sonst hört' ich mir als Mann
Das nicht einen Tag mehr länger an

Weil ich aber weiß
Du liebst mich trotzdem heiß
Was auch kommen mag, sag' ich um jeden Preis
O wie gut, dass ich Dich liebe

Denn ich hab' eingeseh'n
Dass wir uns trotz allem gut versteh'n

O wie gut, dass ich Dich liebe
O wie gut, dass ich Dich liebe

Denn ich hab' eingeseh'n
Dass wir uns trotz allem gut versteh'n

Heute male ich dein Bild, Cindy Lou
und ich brauch' dich dazu
Darf ich dich wiederseh'n

Heute male ich dein Bild, Cindy Lou
denn ein Girl schön wie du
find ich nie mehr, Cindy Lou
auf der ganzen Welt!

Moest Dat Nou?


Moest Dat Nou?
Composer(s): Jos Brink
Performer(s): Hommy & Emmy



Moest dat nou?
Lieveling moest dat nou?
Moest jij mij verlaten na die ruzie tussen ons
Of wilde jij een ander en gaf jij me toen de bons
Ik denk toch nog zo vaak aan jou
Want jij bent voor mij de vrouw
Moest dat nou?
Lieveling moest dat nou?
Alleen omdat hij rijker was liet jij mij in de steek
Het heeft mijn hart zo'n pijn gedaan
Nu voel ik mij zo week
Ik weet niet wat ik doen moet
Het is allemaal zijn schuld
Die vraag blijft steeds in mij gehuld

Vanaf het moment dat ik jou kende
Wist ik dat er nooit meer iemand anders in mijn leven komen zou
Ik weet dat er voor mij geen andere vrouw van waarde is
Je moet begrijpen ik kan niet meer zonder jou

Moest dat nou?
Lieveling moest dat nou?
Je bent met hem vertrokken en nu zie ik jou nooit weer
Als ik naar jouw foto kijk gaat mijn hart zo te keer
Ik zal het nooit vergeten dat jij me toen verliet
Maar als ik aan je denk heb ik verdriet
Moest dat nou?
Lieveling moest dat nou?
Moest je met die ander gaan die rijker was dan ik
Het heeft mijn hart zo'n pijn gedaan
Nog steeds komt er een snik
Ik moet zo dikwijls denken aan die tijd van jou en mij
En 's nachts woel ik van zij op zij

Vanaf het moment dat ik jou kende
Wist ik dat er nooit meer iemand anders in mijn leven komen zou
Ik weet dat er voor mij geen andere vrouw van waarde is
Je moet begrijpen ik kan niet meer zonder jou

Moest dat nou?
Lieveling moest dat nou?
Moest jij mij verlaten na die ruzie tussen ons
Of wilde jij een ander en gaf jij me toen de bons
Ik denk toch nog zo vaak aan jou
Want jij bent voor mij de vrouw
Moest dat nou?
Lieveling moest dat nou?
Alleen omdat hij rijker was liet jij mij in de steek
Het heeft mijn hart zo'n pijn gedaan
Nu voel ik mij zo week
Ik weet niet wat ik doen moet
Het is allemaal zijn schuld
Die vraag blijft steeds in mij gehuld...

Do It Yourself


Do It Yourself Composer(s): Jule Styne - Betty Comden - Adolph Green Performer(s): Dean Martin



You've gotta do it, you've gotta do it
Gotta do it all alone
No one else will do it for you
You're on your own

Do it
It may be love or war or mopping up the floor, but just do it
Don't send a friend who's true to pitch your woo for you or you'll rue it
Do it yourself

Don't fake it
If you're a fake, you won't make it
Wait for your break, and then take it
For time and tide they wait for no man, go, go, go, man

Do it
To prove the point at hand just look at old Miles Standish who blew it
He said "John Alden, will you go and ask Priscilla to do it?"
Miles got the heaveho

"Man," Priscilla said, "Now that Miles is gone
Speak for yourself, dear John"
He blew it, so do it, do it
Do it yourself

Performer(s): Trea Dobbs - 1965

Versions In Other Languages:
1965 - Marmor, Stein Und Eisen Bricht (by Drafi Deutscher)
1966 - Marble Breaks And Iron Bends (by Drafi Deutscher)



Als de dag je weer regen bracht
Dam dam, dam dam
Is er een die jou tegenlacht
Dam dam, dam dam

Marmer, staal en steen vergaan
Onze liefde blijft bestaan
Alles, alles gaat voorbij
Maar niet jouw trouw aan mij

Moet ik soms eens bij jou vandaan
Dam dam, dam dam
Weet dan toch blijft mijn trouw bestaan
Dam dam, dam dam

Marmer, staal en steen vergaan
Onze liefde blijft bestaan
Alles, alles gaat voorbij
Maar niet jouw trouw aan mij

Marmer, staal en steen vergaan
Onze liefde blijft bestaan
Alles, alles gaat voorbij
Maar niet jouw trouw aan mij

Als ik 's avonds voor jou weer zing
Dam dam, dam dam
Zie ik de glans van jouw gouden ring
Dam dam, dam dam

Marmer, staal en steen vergaan
Onze liefde blijft bestaan
Alles, alles gaat voorbij
Maar niet jouw trouw aan mij

Do It Or Die


Do It Or Die Composer(s): Buddy Buie - J.R. Cobb - Ronnie Hammond Performer(s): Atlanta Rhythm Section



Don't let your troubles make you cry
Don't waste a moment wonderin' why
When ev'rything goes wrong
You have to go on
And do it or die
Do it or die now
Stand your ground

Don't let your bad breaks go gettin' you down
Even when times get rough
And you've had enough
You still gotta try
Do it no matter what the people say
They don't even know you

Die before you let them stand in your way
(Don't you know that)
You should know that life is a gamble all along
Winners or losers you keep rollin' on
So go on and roll the dice
You only live twice
So do it or die

As I Came In By Fisherrow

As I came in by Fisherrow, Musselburgh was near me
I threw off my mussel pock and courted with my deary

Up stairs, doon stairs, timmer stairs fears me
I thought it lang to lie ma lane when I'm sae near my deary

Oh had her apron bidden doon, the kirk wad ne'er hae kent it
But since the word's gane through the toon,
My dear I canna mend it

But ye maun mount the cutty stool and I maun mount the pillar
And that's the way the poor folks dae, because they hae nae siller

Wann komt der tag wo du mir sagst
Das ich dich küssen darf
Ich lieb nur dich
Du schöne frau

Do It Again (The Beach Boys)


Do It Again Composer(s): Brian Wilson - Mike Love First release by: The Beach Boys - 1969



It's automatic when I
Talk with old friends
The conversation turns to
Girls we knew when their
Hair was soft and long and the
Beach was the place to go
Suntanned bodies and
Waves of sunshine the
California girls and a
Beautiful coastline
Warmed up weather
Let's get together and
Do it again

With a girl the lonely sea looks good
Makes your nighttimes warm and out of sight

Been so long
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)

Well I've been thinking 'bout
All the places we've surfed and danced and
All the faces we've missed so let's get
Back together and do it again

As Far As I'm Concerned


As Far As I'm Concerned
Performer(s): Nat King Cole



As far as I'm concerned
That amber moon that can make the tides return
Won't match the light within my eyes
The night I learned that I'm the one you'll always love

As far as I'm concerned
The mid day sun that can make the planets turn
Is cold as ice compared with how your kisses burn
And show my heart the warmth of love

Long, long ago days were empty life was oh such a slow caravan
But now that you're here how the hours tumble by and the days disappear
They say we live and learn but what care I
If I never ever learn why robins fly away
As long as they return and I love you and you love me
For that's as far as I'm concerned

They say we live and learn but what care I
If I never ever learn why robins fly away
As long as they return and I love you and you love me
For that's as far as I'm concerned

As Dreams Go By


As Dreams Go By
Performer(s): Bette Midler



When the white bird flies
from your heart to mine
I surrender every part of me
to the tenderness

Could it be the wine?
In your eyes stars shine
and I'm feeling like a child again
Oh, it's taken me a little time
to find words to say

Stay
Make this forever
and lay love in my life
Come what may
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by

If the first glow fades
from the love we've made
I will hold you closer in the night
under heart and key

When there are hills to climb
and your world won't rhyme
I will fight until I get it right
'Cause your part of me
the heart of me
if only you'll stay

Stay
Make this forever
and lay love in my life
Come what may
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by

The trees and the towers are burning
Fear walks on the sea
My soul in the wasteland is yearning
What does tomorrow hold for me?
Oh, no

What can I say?
Just that I need you
With you here by my side, we can turn even the desert evergreen
as dreams go by

Oh, won't you stay?
Make this forever
and lay love in my life
Come what may
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by

Stay
Make this forever
Lay love in my life
Come what may
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by
