I Talk To The Trees
I Talk To The Trees
Dutch Title: We Zullen Wel Zien - 1970
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
First recording by: Tony Bavaar & Olga San Juan - 1951
Covered by multiple other artists
I talk to the trees
But they don't listen to me
I talk to the stars
But they never hear me
The breeze hasn't time
To stop and hear what I say
I talk to them all in vain
But suddenly my words
Reach someone else's ear
At someone else's heart strings too
I tell you my dreams
And while you're listening to me
I suddenly see them come true
I can see us some April night
Looking out across a rollin' farm
Having supper in the candlelight
Walking later, arm in arm
Then I'll tell you how I pass the day
Thinking mainly how the night would be
Then I'll try to find the words to say
All the things you mean to me
I tell you my dreams
And while you're listening to me
I suddenly see them come true

Eight Line Poem
Eight Line Poem
Composer(s): David Bowie
Performer(s): David Bowie
The tactful cactus by your window
Surveys the prairie of your room
The mobile spins to its collision
Clara puts her head between her paws
They've opened shops down West side
Will all the cacti find a home
But the key to the city
Is in the sun that pins
the branches to the sky

Try Not To Look So Pretty
Try Not To Look So Pretty
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam
Try not to look so pretty
The next time that we meet
Please don't look so pretty
And I won't act so weak
Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And I'll try not to be your fool
You walk in and steal my mind
But who gave you the right
To treat me like some useless thought
You throw away each night
Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And I'll try not to be your fool
You make it hard on me
But I'll try to pretend
That you're just a lovesick dream
That always has to end
Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And I'll try not to be your fool

Eight Is Enough
Eight Is Enough
Composer(s): Lee Holdridge - Molly-Ann Leikin
Performer(s): Grant Goodeve
There's a magic in the early morning we've found
When the sunrise smiles on everything around
It's a portrait of the happiness that we feel and always will
Oh, eight is enough to fill our lives with love
Oh, we're lucky we can share this beautiful space
So many find the world an empty place
Anyone who asks to stand alone is always standing still
And eight is enough to fill our lives with love
Oh, love makes all the difference now
And one that really shows
Just look at everyone of us
See how it overflows
Oh, We spend our days like bright and shiny new dimes
If we're ever puzzled by the changing times
There's a plate of homemade wishes on the kitchen window sill
And eight is enough to fill our lives with love
More than enough to fill our lives with love

Covered by multiple other artists
Yes I know I’ve been untrue
And I have hurt you through and through
But please have mercy on this heart of mine
Take me back and Try Me One More Time
If my darling you could see
Just what you’re leavings done to me
You’d know that love is still the tie that binds
Take me back and Try Me One More Time
Ah here’s Leon
Now in my dreams I see your face
It seems there’s someone in my place
But does he know that you were once just mine?
Take me back and Try Me One More Time
If you’ll just forgive me now
I will make it up to you somehow
I promise never again to be unkind
Take me back and Try Me One More Time

I Take It Back
I Take It Back
French Title: Je Retire Tout - 1968
Composer(s): Buddy Buie; James Cobb
Performer(s): Sandy Posey - 1967
Here he comes now
I've got to tell him somehow
I could put it off till later but it's best I do it now
Baby listen to me there is something I must try to say
I've put it off so long but I've decided that today is the day
My love for you is dying
Oh no, please don't start crying
I take it back
I didn't mean it
Please forget the things I said
I take it back
I'm sorry
I must have been out
Of my head
He's such a man
It must have hurt him a lot if he let me see him cry
But I must try again...this time I'll say goodbye
Baby you've been good to me you've always been the best you could
So try to understand me now the way you've always understood
I can't go on another day
Oh please, don't look at me that way
I take it back
I didn't mean it
Please forget what I just said
I take it back
I'm sorry
I must have been out
Of my head
Sometimes it's better to be loved, than it is to love

Composer(s): Joseph Meyer; Jack Yellen; Cliff Friend
Performer(s): Alice Faye
What happened to you mister
You used to treat me like a sister
But how you have blazed
And am I amazed
You started very sweetly
Now you have changed your way completely
From a meek and mild man
You’ve become a wild man
Oh, oh you rascal you
What a man you turned into
What pretty things you’ve learned to do
Oh, I didn’t know you’d get that way
I didn’t realise
That little twinkle in your eyes
Was only hotcha in disguise
Oh, I didn’t know you’d get that way
My heart is full of joy that I never knew
You great big naughty boy
How d’you do, do, do
What you do, do, do
There isn’t any doubt
You know what love is all about
And am I glad I found it out
Oh, I didn’t know you’d get that way
Oh, oh you rascal you
What a man you turned into
What pretty things you’ve learned to do
Oh, I didn’t know you’d get that way
I didn’t realise
That little twinkle in your eyes
Was only hotcha in disguise
Oh, I didn’t know you’d get that way
My heart is full of joooooooooyyyyy
You great big naughty boy
How d’you do, do, do
What you do, do, do
There isn’t any doubt
You know what love is all about
And am I glad I found it out
Oh, I didn’t know, you rascal you
Oh, I didn’t know, but now I do
Oh, you rascal you, I didn’t know you’d get that way

Eiffeltornet
Eiffeltornet
Composer(s): Kenneth Gärdestad - Ted Gärdestad
Performer(s): Ted Gärdestad; Patrik Isaksson
Jag såg i tidningen
att nu finns det en chans
för mig att åka billigt utomlands
Det är tur för mig
men synd om dig aha
för om jag ser dig le
mot nån annan kis
tar jag planet till Paris
Jag bor på hotell
för en kväll
skyll dig själv
Jag tänker hoppa ner från Eiffeltornet
om du sviker mig
men jag hoppas att jag
stoppas i hissen upp av dig
Ja jag hoppar ner från Eiffeltornet
om du sviker mig
men jag hoppas att jag
stoppas i hissen upp av dig
Du vet att jag begär
en liten bagatell
jag vill ha dig för mig själv
jag försöker att
ta det kallt aha
det är väl ganska bra
att du är populär
men det ställer bara till besvär
Jag blir vilseledd
förbisedd av dig
Jag tänker hoppa ner
från Eiffeltornet
om du lämmnar mig osv

Try It Baby
Composer(s): Berry Gordy
Performer(s): The Temptations
Now you're moving on up, pretty baby
You're leaving me behind
Everybody seems to love you
Ooh, you're doing just fine, fine, fine
Take away your good looks
And all your fancy clothes
I bet you want to try it baby
And you'll see
That nobody loves you but me
Now what do you think about that?
Hey, Melvin
Now you tell me that you so busy
Ooh, baby you ain't got much time
Oh, how will I remember, babe
When all your time was mine, mine, mine
Well move on back cross the track
Yeah, where you came from
Yeah, why don't you just try it baby
And you'll see
Nobody loves you but me
Yeah, nobody but me
Try it
If you think I'm lying
Try it
Try it baby
Ooh, well move on back cross the track, baby
Yeah, where you came from
Come on and try, try it honey, try it baby, try it sweet
And you'll see
Nobody loves you but me
Nobody loves you but me
Listen, I really want to hold you, pretty baby
In my arms again
But I can't get close to you
For all your love afraid
But take your name from the bad list
And tear me your arms through
Come on and try it baby
I'm gonna try it sweetheart
Try it honey
You'll see, nobody loves you but me
Nobody but me

I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weigh in on your mind
But you can be sure I know my part
'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I'll make mistakes
I'll never break your heart
I swear by the moon and the stars
in the sky I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I Swear
I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the walls
And when, there's silver in your hair
you won't have to ask if I still care
'Cause as time turns the page
My love won't age at all
I swear by the moon and the stars
in the sky I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I Swear
I swear by the moon and the stars
in the sky I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart

Try A Little Tenderness
Try A Little Tenderness
((Dutch Version: Een Beetje Tederheid (Raymond van Het Groenewoud) - 1998))
Composer(s): Harold Woods - Jimmy Campbell - Reginald Connelly
First recording/First release: Ray Noble and His Orch. - 1932/1933
Covered by multiple other artists
In the hustle of the day, we're all inclined to miss
Little things that mean so much
A word, a smile, and a kiss
When a woman loves a man, he's a hero in her eyes
And a hero he can always be if he'll just realise
She may be weary, women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary, try a little tenderness
She may be waiting, just anticipating
Things she may never possess
While she's without them, try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental, she has her grief and her care
But a word that's soft and gentle makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it, women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it's all so easy, try a little tenderness

But I don't need those things at all
You took away the kisses that I love

But I don't miss one single thing
But I, I sure miss you
I miss you every morning
I miss you every night
I miss you most of all whenever
I wanna be loved just right
You took away most everything
But I don't miss one single thing
But I, I sure miss you
Well, I miss you every morning
Well, I miss you every night
Well, I miss you most of all whenever
I wanna, I wanna be loved just right
You took away most everything
But I don't miss one single thing
But oh, I sure miss you

Eh L'Amour!
Eh L'amour!
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat; Zizi Jeanmaire
Eh l'amour tes gigolos ont su trouver l'filon
Qu'ils fassent la rue ou qu'ils fassent des chansons
Depuis l'temps qu'ils s'occupent de croquer tes millions
Eh l'amour t'as mauvaise mine tu sais dans tes romans
Et dans ces films où tu parais tout l'temps
Entre une voiture de sport et deux téléphones blancs
Eh l'amour si tu veux bien ce soir
Oublie donc tes trottoirs
Tes pin-ups tes dollars
Eh l'amour et reviens-moi tout nu sur tes ergots
Comme j't'ai connu quand on était jeunot
Et qu'on n'avait rien sur le dos
Eh l'amour oui te voilà t'es bien toujours pareil
T'as pas changé t'es comme cendre et soleil
Tout gris quand tu t'endors et bleu à ton réveil
Eh l'amour comme un grand frère viens t'asseoir à mes genoux
Tu sais très bien que je n's'rai pas jaloux
De tes bonheurs d'un jour de tes mômes à deux sous
Eh l'amour quand tu défais leur lit
Si tu vois l'paradis
Tu pourrais m'faire des prix
Eh l'amour avant d'courir vers d'autres rendez-vous
Mets tes dentelles et rejoue moi frou frou
Attention au voisin d'en d'ssous
Eh l'amour pardonne-nous tous nos accordéons
Pardonne-nous ces vers de mirliton
Qu'on chante à ton baptême ou pour ton oraison
Eh l'amour depuis le temps qu'tu rimes avec toujours
Si ça t'ennuie d'écouter nos discours
On pourrait tous les deux s'en aller faire un tour
Eh l'amour tu sais bien qu'avec moi
Tu feras c'que tu voudras
Qu'importe où l'on ira
Eh l'amour déploie tes ailes comme un vrai chérubin
On arriv'ra sans doute un beau matin
Au septième ciel et même un peu plus loin

Een Beetje Tederheid
Een Beetje Tederheid
((Adapted from: Try A Little Tenderness (Ray Noble and His Orch.) - 1932/1933))
Composer(s): Harold Woods - Jimmy Campbell - Reginald Connelly - Raymond van Het Groenewoud
Performer(s): Raymond van Het Groenewoud - 1998
Oh, ze mag dan triest zijn
En meisjes, ze kunnen triest zijn
Stervend van plotse eenzaamheid
Maar wanneer ze triest is
Probeer een beetje tederheid
Je weet, ze zit te wachten
Vruchteloos zit ze te smachten
Naar de diepste, diepste, diepste geborgenheid
Maar terwijl ze zit te wachten
Ga naar haar en geef een beetje tederheid
Nee, nee, nee, dit is geen domme smartlap, oh, nee
Het is pijn, niemand voelt haar aan
En één lief woordje, zacht voor haar gesproken
Dat maakt het draaglijker, draaglijker in haar bestaan
Het zal je niet berouwen, o nee
Ze zal het steeds onthouden
Liefde, dat is hun hele zaligheid
En eigenlijk, ‘t is al zo simpel
Al wat je moet doen
Dat is geven, ja geven
Een beetje, een beetje tederheid
Je moet haar helpen, strelen, verwarmen, omarmen
Ga naar haar, oh, en geef een beetje tederheid
Ja ja, ze heeft het nodig, ze heeft het nodig
Luister naar mij
Je moet haar helpen, strelen, verwarmen, omarmen
Ga naar haar, zachtjes, oh, en geef een beetje tederheid
Ah, niemand, niemand ziet haar graag!
Oh, luister
Je moet haar helpen, strelen, verwarmen, omarmen
Ga! Ga dan toch! Ga!
En geef een beetje tederheid
Oh, helpen, helpen
