Tears (Behind My Eyes)


Tears (Behind My Eyes)
Composer(s): James Paul Reed
Performer(s): Spooky Tooth



Guess this could be the end
Think you've really gone this time
I won't get no more of your love
I should have gone red besides
Because the tears that you don't see
Are the tears behind my eyes
Tears that I can't disguise, so well
So well from you

Got to get to you again
If it takes up the whole day long
Got to make it right with you
Got to right all them wrongs
Because the tears that you don't see
Are the tears behind my eyes
Tears I can't disguise, so well
So well from you

Loving is what you did not get from me
Loving is what you're gonna get now
Just you wait
Wait and see

Got to get to you again
If it takes up the whole day long
Got to make it right with you
Got to right all them wrongs
'Cause the tears that you don't see
Are the tears behind my eyes
Tears I can't disguise, so well
So well from you

Loving is what you did not get from me
Loving is what you're gonna get now
Just you wait
Wait and see, yeah

Loving is what you did not get from me
Loving is what you're gonna get now, babe
Just you wait
Wait and see

Got to get to you again
If it takes up the whole day long
Got to make it right with you
Got to right all them wrongs
But the tears that you don't see
Are the tears behind my eyes
The tears I can't disguise, so well
So well from you, babe

My Favorite Things (German Version)


My Favorite Things
English & French Titles:
My Favorite Things; Mes Joies Quotidiennes
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II
(Originally performed by: Mary Martin)



Ich liebe Rosen und Wiesen und Kinder
Mag Kupferkessel auf Feuer nicht minder
Muss beim Zubettgeh'n den Abendstern seh'n
Liegen im weichen Bett finde ich schön

Ich liebe Ponys und mag Apfelstrudeln
Cremetorten, Kirschtorten, Schnitzel mit Nudeln
Wildgänse fliegend hoch über den Seen
Tiere im Wald und Feld finde ich schön

Ganz weiße Kleider mit blauseid'nen Schuhen
Schneeflocken, die auf den Zweigen sich ruhen
Silberne Winter und Berge in Höh'n
Sonnige Frühlingstag' finde ich schön

Wenn der Hund bellt und ist bissig
und ich bin verzagt
Ganz einfach sofort wird mein Kummer vergeh'n
Ich denke an das was schön

Good Vibrations


Good Vibrations
Composer(s): Brian Wilson;
Mike Love; Tony Asher; Van Dyke Parks
Performer(s): The Beach Boys



I love the colourful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

I'm picking' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm picking' up good vibrations
(Oom bop, bop good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop, bop excitations)
Good, good, good, good vibrations
(Oom bop, bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop, bop excitations)
Good, good, good, good vibrations
(Oom bop, bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop, bop excitations)

Close my eyes
She's somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world

I'm picking' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm picking' up good vibrations
(Oom bop, bop good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop, bop excitations)
Good, good, good, good vibrations
(Oom bop, bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop, bop excitations)
Good, good, good, good vibrations
(Oom bop, bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop, bop excitations)

(Ahhhhhhh)
(Ah my, my what elation)
I don't know where but she sends me there
(Ah my, my what a sensation)
(Ah my, my what elation)
(Ah my, my what)

Got to keep those loving good vibrations
A happening' with her
Got to keep those loving good vibrations
A happening' with her
Got to keep those loving good vibrations
A happening'

Ahhhhhhhh
Good, good, good, good vibrations
(Oom bop, bop)
(I'm picking up good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop, bop)
(Excitations)
Good, good, good, good vibrations
(Oom bop, bop)
She's na, na . . .

Tears


Tears
Performer(s): Sam Ash; Rudy Vallee; Ken Dodd



Tears for souvenirs are all you've left me
Memories of a love you never meant
I just can't believe you could forget me
After all those happy hours we spent together

Tears have been my only consolation
But tears can't mend a broken heart I must confess
Let's forgive and forget
Turn our tears of regret
Once more to tears of happiness

Tears have been my only consolation
But tears can't mend a broken heart I must confess
Let's forgive and forget
Turn our tears of regret
Once more to tears of happiness

Let's forgive and forget
Turn our tears of regret
Once more to tears of happiness

My Favorite Things (English Version)


My Favorite Things
French & German Titles:
Mes Joies Quotidiennes; My Favorite Things
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II
Originally performed by: Mary Martin
Covered by various other artists



Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Tearoom Tango


Tearoom Tango
Performer(s): Wim Sonneveld



En hier dames en heren, hier komt een liefdesgeschiedenis uit Den Haag, getiteld "Tearoom Tango"

Toen ik jou de roze tearoom langzaam binnenschrijden zag
Met je kaalgesleten bontjas en je arrogante lach
Een afschuwelijk beeld van honger en ellende
Vroeg ik me af hoe ik jou in 's hemelsnaam herkende
Maar toen iedereen jou nakeek met die blik van oh-la-la
Dat moet vroeger iets geweest zijn van comme ça en ga maar na
En de ober zelfs een buiging voor je maakte
Toen voelde ik dat mijn verbittering ontwaakte
En terwijl je stilstond bij 't gebak
Was ik de jongen weer wiens jongenshartje brak

Je hebt me belazerd, je hebt me bedonderd
En wat me nu na al die jaren nog verwondert
Dat ik dat nooit vergeten zal al word ik honderd
Je hebt me belazerd, je hebt me bedonderd

't Zal zo'n dertig jaar geleden zijn dat ik jou stil aanbad
En in deze zelfde tearoom steeds op jou te wachten zat
En wanneer je dan na uren was gekomen
Noemde 'k jou de schone diva van m'n dromen
Na een jaar geheime liefde zei 'k nog steeds eerbiedig "u"
En ik mocht je af en toe eens kussen achter 't menu
Verder mocht ik niks 't was verdomd een schijntje
Je hield me steeds met je belofte aan 't lijntje
Tot ik plotseling ontdekte dat
Jij wel twintig and're tearoom-lovers had

Je hebt me belazerd, je hebt me bedonderd
En wat me nu na al die jaren nog verwondert
Dat ik dat nooit vergeten zal al word ik honderd
Je hebt me belazerd, je hebt me bedonderd

En nu zit je aan een tafeltje en vraagt me "mag ik thee"
En je attakeert m'n taartjes en wat kijk je weer gedwee
En je fluistert "jongen, haal me uit de nesten
Want het is of heel de wereld me wil pesten"
Je bent veel te dik gepoeierd en de mot zit in je hoed
En ik zie ook dat je huilt zoals een slecht actrice doet
Je pikt weer een sigaret en vraagt een vuurtje
En je zegt achter je zevende likeurtje
"Ach, je weet dat ik jou de liefste vond
Geef me wat geld, boy, want ik zit vreselijk aan de grond"
Dan zeg ik: "zit jij aan de grond?"

Da's heel belazerd, da's reuze bedonderd
Dat ik de liefste was is iets dat mij verwondert
Vraag het die anderen maar, je had 'r minstens honderd
Ober, ober, goedemiddag
Deze dame hier, ober, wou even alles afrekenen
Ja, 'k ben belazerd

My Favorite Dream


My Favorite Dream
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Jan & Dean



Each time I call you up, you're always free
You break the dates you've got just to be with me
Gee whiz, that's not the way it is
But that's my favorite dream

You tell me I'm the type you can't resist
Your lips are always there, ready to be kissed
Gee whiz, that's not the way it is
But that's my favorite dream

(x2):
We spend each night together
But you don't even know
'Cause in spite of all my dreams
Somehow it seems
I'd never even dare to say hello
But I believe my dreams may still come true
Someday you're gonna show that you love me too
Gee whiz, that's not the way it is
But that's my favorite dream

Gee whiz, that's not the way it is
But that's my favorite dream

Let the good times roll
Let them knock you around
Let the good times roll
Let them make you a clown

Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair

Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll

Let the stories be told
They can say what they want
Let the photos be old
Let them show what they want

Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll-oll
Won't you let the good times roll

Good times roll

If the illusion is real
Let them give you a ride
If they got thunder appeal
Let them be on your side

Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Won't you let the good times roll-oll
Let the good times roll

Let the good times roll
Won't you let the good times roll
Well let the good times roll
Let 'em roll (good times roll)

Let the good times roll
Oo let the good times roll
Oo let the good times roll
Let 'em roll (good times roll)

Well, let the good times roll
(let the good times roll)
Well let the good times roll
Good times roll
(let the good times roll)
Let the good times roll
Let 'em roll-oll

Teardrops Will Fall


Teardrops Will Fall
Composer(s): Dickey Doo - Marion Smith
First release by: Dickey Doo & The Don'ts - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists



I read your letter and tears filled my eyes
All of your promises fading, was nothing but lies
So I turned your photograph over, face to the wall
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall

Teardrops will fall tonight
Tears I can't hide
Tears that I tried to keep
Deep down inside
Tears fall, a love that's gone
Beyond recall
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall

I'm gonna pray tonight, baby
Hoping you will hear
Maybe you'll right the wrong, now
And dry each tear
I'll sit alone tonight hoping you will call
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall

My Father's Eyes (Livingston Taylor)


My Father's Eyes
Composer(s): Livingston Taylor
Performer(s): Livingston Taylor



My father stands before me
In a place that's his alone
I'm guided to the future
I have the world to own
I stand up and I'm counted
A thousand miles from home
Why can I see forever
In my father's eyes?

My father sits before me
His hands upon his chin
His fingers touch his lips
Until my story ends.
Patiently we get it straight
The whos, the whens, the whys...
Truth ever protected
In my father's eyes

My father's eyes...
My father's hands...
Oh, Daddy quickly pick me up
When will I be a man?
When will I live long enough
To make somebody fly?
When will the mirror show me
My father's eyes?

My father's resting in a chair
In a long, cold Winter sun
He falls into a restless sleep
Still itching for the run
The arms are thin
And the movement slow
But there'll be one more try
Strength has another measure
In my father's eyes

My father's eyes
My father's hands
Oh, Daddy quickly pick me up
When will I be a man?
When will I live long enough
To make somebody fly?
When will the mirror show me
My father's eyes?

Good Times Bad Times


Good Times Bad Times
Composer(s): John Bonham; John Paul Jones; Jimmy Page
Performer(s): Led Zeppelin;
and various other artists



In the days of my youth
I was told what it was to be a man
Now I've reached the age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try
I find my way to do the same old jam

Good Times, Bad Times
You know I had my share
When my woman left home
With a brown eyed man
Well, I still don't seem to care

Sixteen: I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be
Only took a couple of days
Till she was rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine
And love me till the end
When I whispered in her ear
I lost another friend

Good Times, Bad Times
You know I had my share
When my woman left home
With a brown eyed man
Well, I still don't seem to care

I know what it means to be alone
I sure do wish I was at home
I don't care what the neighbors say
I'm gonna love you each and every day
You can feel the beat within my hear.
Realize, sweet babe, we aint't ever gonna part

My Father's Eyes (Eric Clapton)


My Father's Eyes
Composer(s): Eric Clapton
Performer(s): Eric Clapton;
Phil Driscoll; Steve Fishell



Sailing down behind the sun
Waiting for my prince to come
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again

Just a toerag on the run
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes
My father's eyes
When I look in my father's eyes
My father's eyes

Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies
And as I watch this seedling grow
Feel my heart start to overflow

Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That's when I need them
That's when I need my father's eyes
My father's eyes
That's when I need my father's eyes
My father's eyes

Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears
I'm like a bridge that was washed away
My foundations were made of clay

As my soul slides down to die
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me
I looked into my father's eyes
My father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes
My father's eyes

My father's eyes
My father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes
My father's eyes

Teardrops (George Harrison)


Teardrops
Composer(s): George Harrison
Performer(s): George Harrison



Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain

In the heart of the lonely man
In and out of love more often where most others can
He walks the streets like the losers in some lovers' game
He talks so sweet but the news is always much the same

Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain

In the eyes of the lonely one
Everything is cold and hopeless that he looks upon
He needs a friend a lover who can comfort him
His deeds offend he knows that he has brought on him

Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain

My Father


My Father
Composer(s): Judy Collins
Originally performed by: Judy Collins
Covered by various other artists



My father always promised me
That we would live in France
We'd go boating on the Seine
And I would learn to dance

We lived in Ohio then
He worked in the mines
On his dreams like boats
We knew we would sail in time

All my sisters soon were gone
To Denver and Cheyenne
Marrying their grownup dreams
The lilacs and the man

I stayed behind the youngest still
Only danced alone
The colors of my father's dreams
Faded without a sound

And I live in Paris now
My children dance and dream
Hearing the ways of a miner's life
In words they've never seen

I sail my memories of home
Like boats across the Seine
And watch the Paris sun
As it sets in my father's eyes again

My father always promised us
That we would live in France
We'd go boating on the Seine
And I would learn to dance

I sail my memories of home
Like boats across the Seine
And watch the Paris sun
As it sets in my father's eyes again

Tear Drops


Tear Drops
Composer(s): Edwin Charles - Helen Stanley - Roy Calhoun
Performer(s): Lee Andrews & The Hearts; Debbie Harry



I sit in my room looking out at the rain
My tears are like crystals, they cover my window pane
I'm thinking of our lost romance and how it should have been
Oh if we only could start over again

I know you never forgive me dear, for running out on you
I was wrong to take a chance with somebody new
I sit in my room looking out at the rain
My tears are like crystals, they cover my window pane

I know you never forgive me dear, for running out on you
Oh I long to do the things we used to do
I'm lonely and I'm blue yet I'll try to get along
Without you

Teardrops, teardrops, teardrops

I have to gain faith, hope and charity
God only knows the girl who will love me
Oh if we only could start over
Again

Without You (Julie Andrews)


Without You (Dutch Version: Zonder Jou) Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe Performer(s): Julie Andrews and multiple other artists



Eliza:
What a fool I was!
What a dominated fool!
To think you were the earth and sky
What a fool I was! What an addle-pated fool!
What a mutton-headed dolt was I!
No, my reverberating friend
You are not the beginning and the end!
There'll be spring every year without you
England still will be here without you
There'll be fruit on the tree
And a shore by the sea
There'll be crumpets and tea
Without you
Art and music will thrive without you
Somehow Keats will survive without you
And there still will be rain
On that plain down in Spain
Even that will remain without you
I can do without you
You, dear friend, who talk so well
You can go to Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire!
They can still rule the land without you
Windsor Castle will stand without you
And without much ado
We can all muddle through without you!
Without your pulling it, the tide comes in
Without your twirling it, the earth can spin
Without your pushing them, the clouds roll by
If they can do without you, ducky, so can I!
I shall not feel alone without you
I can stand on my own without you
So go back in your shell
I can do bloody well
Without you!
