Tell Her No


Tell Her No
((French Version: Dis-Lui Non (Frank Alamo) - 1965))
Composer(s): Rod Argent
First release by: The Zombies - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



And if she should tell you come closer
And if she tempts you with her charms

You tell her
No no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me

And if she should tell you she love you wo oh wo oh
And if she tempts you with her charms

I know she's the kind of girl to throw my love away
But I still love her so don't hurt me now don't hurt me now

And if she tells you she love you
Just remember she's saying that to me

You tell her
No no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me

My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own


My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Jack Keller
Performer(s): Connie Francis
and various other artists



I told this heart of mine our love could never be
But then I hear your voice and somethin' stirs inside of me
Somehow I can't resist the memory of your kiss
Guess my heart has a mind of its own

No matter what I do, no matter what I say
No matter how I try I just can't turn the other way
When I'm with someone new I always think of you
Guess my heart has a mind of its own

You're not in love with me so why can't I forget
I'm just your "used-to-be", it's wrong, and yet

I know forgetting you would be a hopeless thing
For I'm a puppet and I just can't seem to break the string
I say "I'll let you go" but then my heart says "no"
Guess my heart has a mind of its own

Guess my heart has a mind of its own

Good-Bye, Little Girl Of My Dreams


Good-Bye, Little Girl Of My Dreams
Composer(s): Richard Howard; Fred Phillips



I wonder and wonder, if there'll come a day
when the girl of my dreams will exist
I wonder and wonder and hope that there may
For only in dreams we kissed
I see her fair face every night in my dreams
it's as sweet as the roses that bloom
But soon it is morn and then she is gone
So I say as she fades with the moon

There's millions of girls in this beautiful world
there's a girl for each boy so they say
So I'll wait thro' the years 'till my dream girl appears
For I know I shall meet her some day
How happy I'd be at the break of the dawn
Just to find her at rest in my arms
Never more have to sigh
Never more say goodbye
To the girl of those wonderful charms

Goodbye little girl of my dreams
Goodbye little girl of my dreams
I'd like to feel
That you are real
For you are mine it seems
Lovelight in your eyes brightly gleams
You say just for me that it beams
So I'll love only thee
Tho' in dreams it may be
Goodbye little girl of my dreams

Mijn hart huilt om jou
Huilt om jou, huilt om jou
Mijn hart vraagt om jou
Vraagt alleen om jou

Liefde is een wonder voor iedereen
Liefde is een wonder voor jou alleen
Het maakt je soms verdrietig
Het maakt je blij
Het komt en het gaat weer voorbij

Mijn hart huilt om jou
Huilt om jou, huilt om jou
Mijn hart vraagt om jou
Vraagt alleen om jou

Eens zul jij het vinden
Heel diep in je hart
Het maakt je wat onzeker
Het maakt je verward
Dan ben je weer verloren
Voor lange tijd
Liefde kent vreugde en spijt

Mijn hart huilt om jou
Huilt om jou, huilt om jou
Mijn hart vraagt om jou
Vraagt alleen om jou

Mijn hart huilt om jou
Huilt om jou, huilt om jou
Mijn hart vraagt om jou
Vraagt alleen om jou

Goodbye Little Dream, Goodbye


Goodbye Little Dream, Goodbye
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Barbara Lea;
and various other artists



You made my romance sublime
Now it’s time to fly
For the stars have fled from the heavens
The moon’s deserted the hill
And the sultry breeze that sang in the trees
Is suddenly strangely still

It’s done, little dream, it’s done
So bid me a fond farewell
We’ve both had our fun
Was it Romeo or Juliet
Who said, when about to die?
Love is not all peaches and cream
Little dream, goodbye

Was it Romeo or Juliet
Who said, when about to die?
Love is not all peaches and cream
Little dream, goodbye

Goodbye

Tell All The People


Tell All The People
Composer(s): Robby Krieger
Performer(s): The Doors



Tell all the people that you see
Follow me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Set them free
Follow me down
You tell them they don't have to run
We're gonna pick up everyone
Come out and take me by my hand
Gonna bury all our troubles in the sand, oh yeah
Can't you see the wonder at your feet
Your life's complete
Follow me down
Can't you see me growing, get your guns
The time has come
To follow me down
Follow me across the sea
Where milky babies seem to be
Molded, flowing revelry
With the one that set them free
Tell all the people that you see
It's just me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Follow me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
We'll be free
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
It's just me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Follow me
Follow me down
Follow me down
You got to follow me down
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
We'll be free
Follow me down
Tell all the people you see
Follow me
You got to follow me down

Goodbye, Je Reviendrai


Goodbye, Je Reviendrai
Composer(s): Christophe; Léonie
Performer(s): Christophe



Il ne faut pas pleurer, je pars
mais je reviendrai
il ne faut pas pleurer, goodbye
bye, je reviendrai

je songe, songe à la douceur
d'aller en chevaux-vapeur
d'aller au bout de la terre
d'aller bien plus vite que la lumière
{x2}

Il ne faut pas pleurer, je pars
mais je reviendrai
il ne faut pas pleurer, goodbye
bye, je reviendrai

j'irai dans ma boîte en fer
plus vite que la lumière
j'irai au bout de la terre
et j'irai jusque dans la ionosphère
déjà au fond de mon coeur
j'en vois de toutes les couleurs
écoute, au fond de mon coeur,
entends les battements de mon moteur

Il ne faut pas pleurer, je pars
mais je reviendrai
il ne faut pas pleurer, goodbye
bye, je reviendrai

mais songe, songe à la douceur
d'aller en chevaux-vapeur
d'aller au bout de la terre
d'aller bien plus vite que la lumière
j'irai dans ma boîte en fer
plus vite que la lumière
j'irai au bout de la terre
et j'irai jusque dans la ionosphère
mais songe, songe à la douceur
d'aller en chevaux-vapeur
aller après l'horizon
à des années-lumière de ma maison

Il ne faut pas pleurer, je pars
mais je reviendrai

Telkens Weer


Telkens Weer
Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot - Ernst Jansz
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



Nu lig je naast mij, je slaapt
Ik hoor je ademhalen
En in het vroege morgenlicht
Zie ik voor het eerst je kamer

Je bent zo warm, je bent zo zacht
Je arm ligt op m'n schouder
Je bent zo lief geweest vannacht
Ik heb van je gehouden

En ik wou dat ik je zeggen kon
Ik blijf voor altijd bij je
Dat ik me van die dwaze drang
Naar vrijheid kon bevrijden

Maar het gaat niet

Ik weet dat ik nog jaren
Naar je kamer zal verlangen
En naar de platen die je draaide
Tranen op je wangen

Zoals je naar me luisterde en fluisterde 'ik snap je'
Zoals we samen lagen, samen lachten om een grapje
Oh, ik wou dat ik nog één keer één zo'n nacht met je kon delen
Je armen om heen, je zachte handen die me strelen

Telkens weer denk ik aan je ogen bij het afscheid
Telkens weer wil ik bij je zijn
Telkens weer denk ik 'ik ga weg en nu voor altijd'
En ik weet, het doet je pijn

Je ligt naast me, je slaapt
Ik hoor je ademhalen
En in het vroege morgenlicht
Zie ik weer je kamer

Je bent zo warm, je bent zo zacht
Je arm ligt op m'n schouder
Je bent zo lief geweest vannacht
Ik heb van je gehouden

En ik wou dat ik nog één keer één zo'n nacht met je kon delen
Je armen om heen, je zachte handen die me strelen

Goodbye Dolly Gray


Goodbye Dolly Gray
Composer(s): Will D. Cobb; Paul Barnes
Performer(s): J.W. Myers;
Big Four Quartet; Harry MacDonough



I have come to say goodbye, Dolly Gray
It's no use to ask me why, Dolly Gray
There's a murmur in the air, you can hear it everywhere
It is the time to do and dare, Dolly Gray

Don't you hear the tramp of feet, Dolly Gray
Sounding through the village street, Dolly Gray
'Tis the tramp of soldiers' true in their uniforms so blue
I must say goodbye to you, Dolly Gray

Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, though it breaks my heart to go
Something tells me I am needed at the front to fight the foe
See, the boys in blue are marching and I can no longer stay
Hark, I hear the bugle calling, Goodbye Dolly Gray

Hear the rolling of the drums, Dolly Gray
Back from war the regiment comes, Dolly Gray
On your lovely face so fair, I can see a look of fear
For your soldier boy's not there, Dolly Gray

For the one you love so well, Dolly Gray
In the midst of battle fell, Dolly Gray
With his face toward the foe, as he died he murmured low
"I must say goodbye and go, Dolly Gray"

Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, though it breaks my heart to go
Something tells me I am needed at the front to fight the foe
See, the boys in blue are marching and I can no longer stay
Hark, I hear the bugle calling, Goodbye Dolly Gray

Téléphonez-Moi


Téléphonez-Moi
((Spanish Version: Por Teléfono (Dalida))
Composer(s): Orlando - Bernard Estardy
Performer(s): Dalida



Vous croyez que le monde entier
S'pend à mon téléphone
Que je suis toujours invitée
Par un Dieu, par un homme
Vous avez peur que je vous dise
Désolée ma soirée est prise
Et vous me dérangez en pleine vocalise

Vous me voyez comme une star
Mais je ne suis qu'une femme
Vous savez quelquefois la gloire
A fait des bleus à mon âme
J'ai envie d'écouter d'autres mots
Que ceux qu'on écrit dans les journaux
Faîtes mon numéro et jetez-vous à l'eau

Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi
Je n'attends que ça
J'ai besoin d'une voix
Téléphonez-moi dans mon agenda
J'ai du temps pour moi
Téléphonez-moi

Je ne suis pas une panthère rose
Qui griffe et puis qui s'en va
Je n'vous aimerais pas over-dose
Si vous faîtes le premier pas

Vous m'croyez heureuse et tranquille
Mais je suis seule sur mon île
Sans vous toute ma vie ne tient qu'à un fil

Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi
Je n'attends que ça
J'ai besoin d'une voix
Téléphonez-moi dans mon agenda
J'ai du temps pour moi
Téléphonez-moi

Un soir de 31 décembre
Dans la vallée des poupées
Elle était toute seule dans sa chambre
Personne ne l'a appelée

C'était la plus belle fille du monde
Elle était riche, elle était blonde
Pourtant au dernier coup de minuit
Adieu la vie

Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi
C'est pas des histoires
Avant qu'il soit trop tard
Téléphonez-moi les pilules d'espoir
J'en prends tous les soirs
Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi
Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi...

My Heart Belongs To Daddy


My Heart Belongs To Daddy
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Originally performed by: Mary Martin
Covered by various other artists



I used to fall in love with all those boys who maul the young cuties
But now I find I’m more inclined to keep my mind on my duties

While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don’t follow through
‘cause my heart belongs to Daddy

If I invite a boy some night
To dine on my fine finnan haddie
I just adore his asking for more
But my heart belongs to Daddy

Yes my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn’t be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know you’re perfectly swell
But my heart belongs to Daddy
‘cause my Daddy he treats it so well

There was a dame that a football game
Made long for the strong undergraddie
I never dream of making the team
‘cause my heart belongs to daddy

Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn’t be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know you’re perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to Daddy
‘cause my Daddy, he treats it so well

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road


Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John;
and various other artists



When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

The Sound Of Silence


The Sound Of Silence
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Simon and Garfunkel - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages:
1965 - Het Geluid Van Stilte (Boudewijn de Groot)
1966 - La Voix Du Silence (Marie Laforêt)
1966 - La Tua Immagine (Mike Liddell & Gli Atomi)
1975 - Il Suono Del Silenzio (Adriano Pappalardo)
1982 - Chanson D'innocence (Gérard Lenorman)



Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes where stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People listening without hearing
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one there
Disturbs the sound of silence

Fools, I said, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, the words
Of the prophets are written
On the subway walls and tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence

My Heart Beat Like A Hammer


My Heart Beat Like A Hammer
Composer(s): Jeremy Spencer
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac



I woke up one morning
Waking with the rising sun
Woke up one morning
Awakin' with the rising sun, ahh
Thought about my baby
Did I just do what she done

Well, I shoulda loved you more
I know I didn't treat her right
Oh, yes, I shoulda loved you more
I know I didn't treat her right
I know that a woman needs
Rollin' every day and night
Oh, yeah

Well, my heart beat like a hammer
My eyes plumb full of tears
Yes, my heart beat like a hammer
My eyes plumb full of tears
She's been gone about an hour
But it seems like a thousand years

Don't ever dog your woman
You know you're gonna ruin yourself
Don't ever dog your woman
You know you're gonna ruin yourself
Know that a woman she'll
Run off with somebody else
Oh, yeah

Goodbye To Love


Goodbye To Love
Composer(s): John Bettis; Richard Carpenter
Performer(s): The Carpenters;
and various other artists



I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it

So I' ve made my mind up I must live my life alone
And thought it's not the easy way
I guees I' ve always known
I' d say goodbye to love

there are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And I'll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for
Something I could live for

All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as best I can

What lies in the future is a mistery to us all
No one can predict the well of fortune as it falls
there may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong
But for now this is my song

And it's goodbye to love
I'll say goodbye to love

Telephone Man


Telephone Man
Composer(s): Meri Wilson
Performer(s): Meri Wilson



I rented my apartment on a Monday at one
Singin' doo-lolly-lolly, shakey-bum, shakey-bum
Started movin' in it on a Tuesday at two
Singin' doo-lolly-lolly, shakey-doo, shakey-doo
Wednesday at three I called the phone company
Singin' hey baby, put a phone in for me
Thursday at four he came a-knockin' at my door
Singin' "Hey baby, I'm your telephone man
You just show me where you want it
And I'll put it where I can
I can put it in the bedroom
I can put it in the hall
I can put it in the bathroom
I can hang it on the wall
You can have it with a buzz
You can have it with a ring
And if you really want it
You can have a ding-a-ling
Because, hey baby, I'm your telephone man"

Can you believe that... and then he says...
"Now when other fellahs call you
Tell 'em how it all began"
Well... huh-huh...

My heart began a-thumpin'
And my mind began to fly
And I knew I wasn't dealing
With no ordinary guy
So while he was a-talkin'
I was thinking up my plan
Then my fingers did the walkin'
On the telephone man
Singin' hey-lolly-lolly, hey-lolly-lolly
Hey lolly-lolly, get it anyway you can

Right... huh... huh... huh...
So...

I got it in the bedroom
And I got it in the hall
And I got it in the bathroom
And he hung it on the wall
I got it with a buzz
And I got it with a ring
And when he told me what my number was
I got a ding-a-ling
A-singin' hey-lolly-lolly, hey lolly-lolly
Hey lolly-lolly, just a-doin' my thing

Huh... I never did anything like this before...

My Heart And I


My Heart And I
Composer(s): Richard Tauber; Tyshena
Performer(s): Josef Locke
and various other artists



We are in love with you, my heart and I
And we are always true, my heart and I
When you are far away each smile's a tear
But it's a lovely day when you are near
Maybe that love is blind when passion rules
And that my heart and I are just two fools
And yet my darling if you ever say goodbye
I know we both should die, my heart and I

Once in a lifetime a love dream comes true
Just once in a lifetime or never
I met my fate on the day I met you
The moment you kissed me I knew
Strange fascination seems to fill and hold me
Fateful temptation such as no one ever told me
Everything I would endure for you
Come what may, oh, I'll keep smiling through
My heart is yours so you just take it
It's only asking not to break it

We are in love with you, my heart and I
And we are always true, my heart and I
When you are far away each smile's a tear
But it's a lovely day when you are near
Maybe that love is blind when passion rules
And that my heart and I are just two fools
And yet my darling if you ever say goodbye
I know we both should die, my heart and I
