June Comes Around Every Year
June Comes Around Every Year
Composer(s): Harold Arlen; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists
June comes around every year
June comes around every spring time
Just when your poor old heart can’t go on it seems
June brings a basket full of dreams
And before you know it you see the moon wink his eye
Two hearts are waltzing in swing time
So wear a great big smile
‘Cos after all she’ll never fall for last years’ style
And June comes around every year
And before you know it you see the moon wink his eye
Two hearts are waltzing in swing time
So wear a great big smile
‘Cos after all she’ll never fall for last years’ style
And June comes around every year

Just A Feeling
Just A Feeling
Composer(s): Lita Ford
Performer(s): Lita Ford
It's been five days, my mind's in a haze
I don't know if I'm comin' or goin'
I'm so confused, that you're the one I choose
So rock with me, babe, let's get it rollin'
It's just a feeling that I get
From the first time I ever met you, babe
It's just a feeling I can't forget
So don't kiss me goodbye, just give one more try at your love
The days go fast, you're stuck in my head
I'm so alone, I wish you'd tuck me in bed
Oh, baby, baby, baby, well I knew it from the start
Yeah, right from the start
'Cause it's just a feeling
Feeling
That I get
From the first time I ever met you, babe
It's just a feeling
Feeling
It makes me wet
So don't kiss me goodbye, just give one more try
At your love
Yeah
Oh, when you told me that you don't want me no more
I said, "I love you," ah, but you wanted more
Oh, baby, baby, baby, well I knew it from the start
Yeah, right from the start
'Cause it's just a feeling
Feeling
That I get
From the first time I ever met you, babe
It's just a feeling
Feeling
I can't forget
So don't kiss me goodbye, just give one more try at your love
Won't you give me one more try?

Taaier Dan De Rest
((Adapted from: Tougher Than The Rest (Bruce Springsteen) - 1987))
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen - Kris De Bruyne
Performer(s): Kris De Bruyne - 1989
Wel, het is zaterdagnacht
'k zag je meteen in die jurk
ik hield je stiekem in het oog
want in elke man schuilt er een schurk
zo, jij liet iemand in de steek
hebt iemands hart grondig verpest
wel, als je liefde wil
schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest
meisjes willen de ware Jacob
of soms 'n doodbrave juul in hun armen
en sommigen willen
alleen maar het krapuul
maar, hier leer je al gauw (schat)
te pakken wat je pakken kan
dus als j'er taai genoeg voor bent
schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest
de weg is lang
voor wie weet waarover 't gaat
en ik wil dat je weet dat ik
voor jou iedereen achterlaat
als al je vorige vrijers
waren geflest in de test
en j'er klaar en taai genoeg voor bent
schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest
wel, het is hier geen geheim
ik heb hier elk meisje gehad
wel, ik weet niet schat
hoeveel kerels er jou hebben gehad
geef jezelf een kans
al wat ik wil horen is een ja
als je taaie liefde wil
schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest
als j'er taai en klaar genoeg voor bent
schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest
ik ben taaier dan de rest
ik ben taaier dan de rest

I Lost My Sugar In Salt Lake City
I Lost My Sugar In Salt Lake City
Composer(s): Leon René; Johnny Lange
Performer(s): Johnny Mercer
and multiple other artists
I lost my sugar in Salt Lake City
Oh, why did I go there?
I should have stayed down in New Orleans
And never gone nowhere
A man which we talked from kansas city
His words were sweet like wine
He gave us diamonds & limousines
And stole that gal of mine
When night comes creeping
For me there ain't no sleeping
What she sold, she'll be reaping
For she done me wrong
I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City
The day I heard the news
She left me deep in my solitude
With the Salt Lake City blues
Salt Lake City is renowned for it's beauty
The snowcap sasquatch mountains are nearby
In 1929 the factory output was 43 million dollars
Wholesale trade amounted to
71 million five hundred & ten thousand five hundred & seventy three dollars
Retail trade ninety two million
There's salt beds & farm lands producing
alfalfa, green, sugar beats & vegetables in the vicinity
But as far as I'm concerned
I don't care if I ever set foot there again in Salt Lake City
That town is a nemesis to me
Man I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City
The day I heard the news
She left me deep in my solitude
With those blues
Salt lake City blues

Just A Dream Ago
Just A Dream Ago
Performer(s): Rita Moss
Just a dream ago
You were in my arms and loved me so
Ev'ry hour was a paradise
You were mine just a dream ago
Just a kiss ago
We were in love all aglow
Making vows that we'd always be
Side by side through eternity
Now you're gone
And my heart cries for you
Darling, why must our plans
All fall through
Oh-oh-oh, please come back again
And ignite the flame that used to glow
Save the spell of a magic dream
That we lived just a dream ago
Oh-oh-oh-oh, please come back again
And ignite the flame that used to glow
Save the spell of a magic dream
That we lived just a dream ago

Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
First release: Bruce Springsteen - 1987
Covered by multiple other artists
Well It's Saturday night you're all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile maybe you been watching me too
So somebody ran out left somebody's heart in a mess
Well if you're looking for love honey I'm tougher than the rest
Some girls they want a handsome Dan or some good-lookin' Joe
On their arms some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo
Well 'round here baby I learned you get what you can get
So if you're rough enough for love honey I'm tougher than the rest
The road is dark and it's a thin thin line
But I want you to know I'll walk it for you anytime
Maybe your other boyfriends couldn't pass the test
Well if you're rough and ready for love honey I'm tougher than the rest
Well it ain't no secret I've been around a time or two
Well I don't know baby maybe you've been around too
Well there's another dance all you gotta do is say yes
And if you're rough and ready for love honey I'm tougher than the rest
If you're rough enough for love baby I'm tougher than the rest

Jacamo
Jacamo
Performer(s): Donna Fargo
They were famous on the trapeze
Everywhere the Circus played
He would catch her as she twirled
While below a dazzled world
Would guess about her fate
She knew he was a jealous lover
He thought she loved another man
No longer could he hold it in
She felt his rage begin
She saw too late what he had planned
As she cried "Jacamo, don't let go
Jacamo, why can't you understand
My love and my destiny are in your hands
And that's the way it's always been
Don't you know, Jacamo"
Panic swept across the moment
As it swept across the crowd
Her tears glistened in the light
As every word she cried
Fell unanswered to the ground
Though he wanted to believe her
A thousand doubts drove him mad
He slowly loosened up his grip
Her hands began to slip
Borrowed time was all she had
As she cried "Jacamo, don't let go
Jacamo, why can't you understand
My love and my destiny are in your hands
And that's the way it's always been
Don't you know, Jacamo"
When every second seemed a lifetime
When every prayer would not take kind
Suddenly his fingers tightened
His heart had changed its mind
High above the vast arena
When it appeared that she would die
He had looked upon her face
But instead of feeling hate
He saw love in her eyes
There was love in her eyes
As she cried "Jacamo, don't let go
Jacamo, why can't you understand
My love and my destiny are in your hands
And that's the way it's always been
Ooh-ooh, Jacamo, don't let go
Jacamo, why can't you understand
My love and my destiny are in your hands
And that's the way it's always been
Ooo-ooh, Jacamo" ...

Just A Dream
Just A Dream
Composer(s): Jimmy Clanton
Performer(s): Jimmy Clanton
Just a dream, just a dream
All our plans and our all schemes
How could I think you'd be mine
The lies I'd tell myself each time
I know that we could never last
We just can't seem to in the past
Just a dream I dream in vain
With you I'd only live in pain
Your picture is always with me
I can still hear that same mournful song
And now I sit here crying
Please leave me alone
Why, why do I love you
How can I live in misery
I know that I won't forget you
But now I know it's too late for me

And who's my baby with but you know who
It was a tough little buggy

And a bless my soul

I Looked Away
I Looked Away
Composer(s): Eric Clapton; Bobby Whitlock
Performer(s): Derek & the Dominos; Michael Nesmith
She took my hand
Tried to make me understand
That she would always be there
I looked away
Then she ran away from me today
I'm such a lone, lonely man
Came as a surprise to me
She left me here in misery
Seems like only yesterday
She made a vow
She'd never go away
She took my hand
Tried to make me understand
That she would always be there
I looked away
Then she ran away from me today
I'm such a lone, lonely man
Seemed to me like such a sin
For me to love another man's woman
But I guess I'll keep on sinnin'
Lovin' you 'til my very last day
I looked away
Then she ran away from me today
I'm such a lone, lonely man

Just A Closer Walk With Thee
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Patsy Cline & Loretta Lynn;
and various other artists
I am weak but thou art strong
Jesus, keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to thee
Just a closer walk to Thee
Jesus grant my humble plea!
Daily walking close to thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
Through this world of toils and snares
If I falter Lord, who cares
Who with me my burden shares?
None but thee, my dear Lord, none but thee
Just a closer walk to Thee
Jesus grant my humble plea!
Daily walking close to thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
When the journey here is o'er
Time for me will be no more
Guide me to thy distant shore
To thy shore, O dear Lord, to thy shore
Just a closer walk to Thee
Jesus grant my humble plea!
Daily walking close to thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

Touching Home
Touching Home
Composer(s): Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens
Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis
and multiple other artists
(Today I can feel it touching home)
Today pain became a real life hurtin' thing
And the choir of loneliness sang me a song
Now I know just what it means to lose a lifetime dream
'Cause today I can feel it touchin' home
No longer do I wonder why men have lost their minds
Or wind up in a jungle of flashing neon signs
Now I know just how long a man can last when love is gone
'Cause today I can feel it touchin' home
No longer do I wonder why men have lost their minds
Or wind up in a jungle of flashing neon signs
Now I know just how long a man can last when love is gone
'Cause today I can feel it touchin' home
'Cause today I can feel it touchin' home
"Yes I can, Baby"...

Just A Boy
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel (as Tom & Jerry)
I am just a boy
Not a mighty man
But your love gives me strength
To do the best that I can
I am just a boy
Unwise and full of fears
But your love brings to me
The wisdom of many years
Though I’m young
I still can understand
Your love someday
Will turn this boy into a man
Though I’m just a boy
On this you can rely
You are just the girl
I will love till I die
Though I’m young
I still can understand
Your love someday
Will turn this boy into a man
Though I’m just a boy
On this you can rely
You are just the girl
I will love till I die

I Look At You
I Look At You
Composer(s): Johnny Mathis; Jessie Mae Robinson
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis; Ray Ellis Orch.
I look at you and I say to myself
"What more could I want if I had you?"
But I wouldn't dare to speak it out loud
I stand and I stare, my head in a cloud
I look at you and I say to my heart
"What chance would I have, why let the fire start?"
I long to know the thrill of your sweet embrace
Yet when we're face to face, I just look at you
I look at you and I say to my heart
"What chance would I have, why let the fire start?"
I long to know the thrill of your sweet embrace
Yet when we're face to face, I just look at you

Jusqu'où Je T'Aime
Jusqu'où Je T'Aime
Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Si jamais tu me demandes
Jusqu'où je t'aime
Et si quand tu seras grande
On s'aimera quand même
S'il fallait que je te dise
Tout mon amour
Même en ouvrant les bras
Ça ne suffirait pas
Moi mon amour pour toi
Je crois bien qu'il va
Jusqu'au bout du monde et de la mer
Et du soleil et jusqu'au bout des étoiles
Au-delà du fond des galaxies
Dans l'infini de l'univers sidéral
Aussi loin que porte le regard de mon cœur
Jusqu'au bout du ciel et jusqu'au fond du bonheur
Je t'aime aussi loin
Moi voilà comment je t'aime
Et c'est pour toujours
Ça s'écrit dans mon cœur même
Jour après jour
Pour en prendre la mesure
Sans se tromper
Il faudrait un cadran
Si beau si gros si grand
Que rien qu'en le posant
Il irait sûrement
Jusqu'au bout du monde et de la mer
Et du soleil et jusqu'au bout des étoiles
Au-delà du fond des galaxies
Dans l'infini de l'univers sidéral
Jusqu'à des frontières dont tu n'as jamais rêvé
Au-delà des heures et jusqu'à l'éternité
Je t'aime aussi loin
Jusqu'au bout du monde et de la mer
Et du soleil et jusqu'au bout des étoiles
Au-delà du fond des galaxies
Dans l'infini de l'univers sidéral
Jusqu'au cœur des glaces et jusqu'au fond du désert
Jusqu'au bout du ciel et dans un autre univers
Je t'aime aussi loin
Si jamais tu me demandes
Jusqu'où je t'aime
Je t'aime aussi loin...

Touched By The Sun
Touched By The Sun
((French Version: L'année Du Dragon (Etienne Daho) - 2000))
Composer(s): Carly Simon
First release: Carly Simon - 1994
If you want to be brave
And reach for the top of the sky
And the farthest point on the horizon
Do you know who you'll meet there
Great soldiers and seafarers
Artists and dreamers
Who need to be close, close to the light
They need to be in danger of burning by fire
And I, I want to get there
I, I want to be one
One who is touched by the sun
One who is touched by the sun
Often I want to walk
The safe side of the street
And lull myself to sleep
And dull my pain
But deep down inside I know
I've got to learn from the greats
Earn my right to be living
Let my wings of desire
Soar over the night
I need to let them say
"She must have been mad"
And I, I want to get there
I, I want to be one
One who is touched by the sun
One who is touched by the sun
I've got to learn from the greats
Earn my right to be living
With every breath that I take
Every heartbeat
And I, I want to get there
I, I want to be one
One who is touched by the sun
One who is touched by the sun
