Brian Adams/Mel C – Baby when you’re gone                 1

i’ve been wandering around the house all night
wondering what the hell to do
i’m trying to concentrate but all i can think of is you


well the phone don’t ring cuz my friends ain’t home
i’m tired of being all alone
got the tv on cuz the radio’s playing

songs that remind me of you

chorus:
baby when you’re gone

i realize i’m in love
the days go on and on

and the nights just seem so long
even food don’t taste that good

drink ain’t doing what it should
things just feel so wrong

baby when you’re gone

i’ve been driving up and down these streets
trying to find somewhere to go
ya i’m lookin’ for a familiar face

but there’s no one i know


this is torture – this is pain

it feels like i’m gonna go insane
i hope you’re coming back real soon

cuz i don’t know what to do    

chorus

Bryan Adams/Tina Turner – It’s Only Love                        2

When the feelin’ is ended
There ain’t no use pretendin’
Don’t ya worry it’s only love
When your world has been shattered
Ain’t nothin’ else matters
It ain’t over it’s only love, that’s all yeah


When your heart has been broken
Hard words have been spoken
It ain’t easy but it’s only love
And if your life ain’t worth livin’
And you’re ready to give in
Just remember that it’s only love

that’s all it is baby

it’s only love
                                    You can live without the aggravation
                                    Ya gotta wanna win ya gotta wanna win
                                    You keep lookin’ back in desperation
                                    Over and over and over again                  

                         ***
Yeah yeah  –   It’s only love baby (it’s only love baby)
Yeah, it’s only love, love, love (it’s only love love love)
When your world is shattered
Ain’t nothin’ else matters
It ain’t over it’s only love

If your life ain’t worth livin’
And you’re ready to give in
Just remember that it’s only love
Yeah, that’s all

            -it’s only love – it’s only love baby
            -it’s only love, love, love (it’s only love love love)
Yeah it ain’t easy baby
But it’s only love – and that’s all!

Acda & De Munnik – Het Regent Zonnestralen                         2a

Op een terras ergens in Frankrijk in de zon
Zit een man die het tot gisteren nooit won
Maar zijn auto vloog hier vlakbij uit de bocht
Zonder hem, zonder Herman, want die had hem net verkocht


Herman in de zon op een terras
Leest in ’t AD dat ‘ie niet meer in leven was
Zijn auto was volledig afgebrand
En de man die hem gekocht had, stond onder zijn naam in de krant

refrein O, o, o,
                        Even rustig ademhalen, O, o,o
                        ’t lijkt of het regent als altijd
                        Maar het regent en het regent zonnestralen

Een week geleden, in een park in Amsterdam
Had hij zijn leven overzien en schrok zich lam
Hij was een man wiens leven nu al was bepaald
En van al zijn jongensdromen was alleen het oud worden gehaald

refrein

brug:

Op een bankje in het park kwam het besluit
Noem het dapper, noem het vluchten maar ik knijp er tussenuit
Nu een week geleden en hier zat ‘ie dan maar weer
Met meer vrijheid dan hem lief was, en nou wist hij het niet meer

Herman leest wel honderd keer de krant
’t staat er echt, pagina achttien, zwartomrand
Hield ‘ie vroeger al zijn meningen en al zijn dromen stil
Nu was ‘ie niets niet niemand nergens meer
Kan dus gaan waar ‘ie maar wil

Herman rekent af en staat dan op
Hij heeft eindelijk de wind weer in z’n kop
‘k heb een tweede kans gekregen
En da’s meer dan ik verdien
Maar als dit het is, is dit het, als dit het is, is dit het
Als dit het is, is dit het en we zullen het wel zien’
refrein 2 x

Acda en de Munnik – Niet of nooit geweest                             2b

Ik zie twee mensen op het strand
Vlak bij het water, hand in hand
De zon zakt, ze zwijgen van geluk
Ik ken haar net, want dat ben jij
Ze lacht naar hem, hij lijkt op mij
Maar dat kan niet, want ik maak alles stuk


Ik kan die jongen toch nooit zijn
Die rust, die liefde, niets voor mij
Maar waarom lijkt het dan toch zo vertrouwd?
Ik heb je lief, zoals je ziet
Maar ergens klopt er hier iets niet
Ik draag een ring maar ‘k heb jou nooit getrouwd

            Ik ben mezelf niet of al die jaren nooit geweest
            Ik ben de gangmaker op het verkeerde feest
            Ik ben mezelf niet of nooit geweest  2 x

Ik zie twee mensen, ze gaan staan
Ze draait zich om, we moeten gaan
Kijk in me ogen en zie dezelfde pijn
Twee mensen eerder al verbonden
Al die verliefdheid, wat een zonde
We zijn het allebei maar willen het niet zijn

            Ik ben mezelf niet of al die jaren nooit geweest
            Ik ben de schoenmaker bij de verkeerde leest
            Ik ben mezelf niet of nooit geweest  2 x

Oh, laat het de zon zijn (laat het de zon zijn)
Oh, laat het het strand zijn
Laat het de zee zijn
Laat mij iets doen nu waardoor je mij nooit meer wilt zien
O, laat het het zout zijn (laat het het zout zijn)
Laat het mijn allerdomste fout zijn
Maar laat me dit nooit meer vergeten, nooit meer vergeten
laat me dit nooit meer vergeten, bovendien

Ik ben mezelf niet of al die jaren nooit geweest 2 x
Ik ben mezelf niet of nooit geweest 4 x

Anouk/Douwe Bob – Hold Me                                                3

The things you say
In your innocent way
Remind me how it should be
Your love I can trace
In a wide open space
Oh, your beautiful face I’ve seen

It’s the way you walk
And the way that you talk to me
You’re God’s gift to my world, the prettiest girl
And I feel like I live a dream
            The silence I fear – preach to the morning sun

So – just hold me now
I’ll stay here all night, cause I
don’t feel so alone when you are
Holding me tight, love

            The things you do and say
            Always go hand in hand
            You’re all you seem to be
            Not a shred of you pretends

            And I will run like a fool
            Just to be by your side
            Don’t hold back, my love
            You’re my joy in this sad, sad world
                        You are safe with me – dream and you will be free

So

refrein 2 x     (Holding me tight, love)

                        And if could have it my way
                        I’d tell you to stay here always
                        And I will be waiting for you – I’ll be waiting
                        there’s nothing else I can do
                        You’ve taken me over
solo                                        refrein           Holding me tight, love 2 x

Ashford & Simpson – Solid                                                   4

And for love’s sake, each mistake you forgave
And soon both of us learned to trust
Not run away – it was no time to play
We built it up, built it up, built it up

chorus:

And now it’s solid, solid as a rock

that’s what this love is
That’s what we’ve got
Solid, solid as a rock
And nothing’s changed it
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

You didn’t turn away when the sky went gray
Somehow we managed, we had to stay together
You didn’t bat an eye when I made you cry
We knew down the line, we could make it better

And for love’s sake, each mistake you forgave
And soon both of us learned to trust
Not run away – it was no time to play
We built it up, built it up, built it up

chorus

Knock knock on wood, you understood

Love was so new, we did what we had to
And with that feeling we were willing to take a chance
So against all odds we made a start
We got serious
This wouldn’t turn to dust
We built it up, built it up, built it up

chorus solid!

Atlantic Starr – Always                                                         5

Girl you are to me, all that a woman should be
And I dedicate my life to you always
A love like yours is grand
It must have been sent from up above
And I know you’ll stay this way, for always

chorus:

And we both know, that our love will grow
And forever it will be you and me


Ooh your like the sun
Chasing all of the rain away

When you come around you bring a brighter day
You’re the perfect one
For me and you forever we’ll be
And I will love you so for always

Come with me my sweet
Let’s go make a family
And they will bring us joy, for always

Oh boy I love your soul
I can’t find enough ways to let you know
But you can be sure of course, for always

And we both know, that our love will grow
And forever it will be you and me


chorus

solo


Oh you’re like the sun chasing all of the rain away  etc
ooooh

I will love you so, for always

Bon Jovi  –  shooting star                                                       6

Johnny was a school boy when he heard his first Beatles song

Love Me Do, I think it was and from there it didn’t take him long

Got himself a guitar, used to play every night

Now he’s in a rock & roll outfit

and everything’s all right, don’t you know?

chorus

Don’t you know that you are a shooting star? Don’t you know

Don’t you know that you are a shooting star?

And all the world is gonna love you

just as long as long as you are

Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one

Suddenly everybody wanted to hear him sing the song

Watching the world go by, surprisin’ it goes so fast

Johnny looked around him and said, I made it big time at last

Don’t you know, oh yeah

chorus

Johnny died one night, died in his bed

Bottle of whiskey, sleepin’ tablets in his head

Johnny’s life passed him by like a warm summer day

When you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play

Don’t you know, oh yeah

chorus

Marco Borsato/Do – Voorbij                                               7

Ik voel je om me heen, ik denk alleen aan jou
Ik hoor je stem
Ik zie je overal, ik neem je altijd mee
Waar ik ook ben

Zo tastbaar
En zo dichtbij
Hou jij je vast aan mij

Waar ik ben, daar ben jij
Je bent eigenlijk nooit weggeweest
Als een schaduw volg je mij
Door mijn huis, door mijn hoofd
Ik zou vrij zijn maar dat ben ik niet
Het is wel over
Maar nog niet voorbij

Ik weet niet wat het is
Maar ik mis je zo
Wat ik ook doe, ohhh

Onzichtbaar maar zo dichtbij
Hou jij je vast aan mij

refrein

            Zijn jouw dagen zonder mij
            Beter dan ons leven samen

ik mis je dag en nacht
zo onverwacht

refrein

Marco Borsato/Trijntje Oosterhuis – Wereld zonder jou               8

Hij:      Ik heb een masker opgezet
            En als mijn vrienden erom vragen
            Zeg ik dat het heerlijk is, alleen

            Je foto’s zijn al van de wand
            Alsof ik zo vergeten kan
            Dat ik je mis, hoe koud het is
            Hoe leeg zo zonder jou hier om me heen

refrein:
Ik kan je niet laten gaan
Al zeg ik dat het beter is
Alleen en zonder jou
Ik kan het gewoon niet aan
Ik mis je armen om me heen
Nee ik leef niet in een wereld zonder jou

Zij:      Ik heb bijna alles geprobeerd
            Alles om je te vergeten
            Ik lieg als ze me vragen hoe het gaat

            Ik lees wat boeken kijk TV
            Maar daar verandert ook niets mee
            Ik voel nog steeds, verlang nog steeds
            Ik denk nog steeds ja steeds alleen aan jou

Samen: refrein

De tijd staat stil
De tijd die alle wonden heelt, ze loopt niet zonder jou

refrein 2:

Ik kan je niet laten gaan
Al schreeuw ik dat het beter is
Alleen en zonder jou
Ik kan het gewoon niet aan
Ik mis je armen om me heen
En alles aan je waar ik zo van hou -waar ik zo van hou
Nee ik leef niet in een wereld

zonder jou
zonder jou

David Bowie – Absolute beginners                              8a

I’ve nothing much to offer
There’s nothing much to take
I’m an absolute beginner
And I’m absolutely sane


As long as we’re together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we’re absolute beginners


With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same

chorus:
If our love song could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean just like the films
There’s no reason to feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines, it’s absolutely true

Nothing much could happen
Nothing we can’t shake
Oh we’re absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake


As long as you’re still smiling
There’s nothing more I need
I absolutely love you
But we’re absolute beginners


But if my love is your love
We’re certain to succeed

chorus

David Bowie/Mick Jagger – Dancing in the streets      9

Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer’s here and the time is right
For dancing in the streets
They’re dancing in chicago
Down in new orleans
In new york city

All we need is music, sweet music
There’ll be music everywhere
They’ll be swinging, swaying, records playing,
Dancing in the street, oh

It doesn’t matter what you wear, just as long as you are there
So come on every guy, grab a girl, everywherearound the world
They’ll be dancing, dancing in the street

It’s an invitation across the nation, a chance for folks to meet
They’ll be laughing and singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street

Philadelphia, pa, Baltimore in dc now
Don’t forget the motor city
All we need is music, sweet music
There’ll be music everywhere
They’ll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street, oh

It doesn’t matter what you wear just as long as you are there
So come on every guy, grab a girl, everywherearound the world
They’ll be dancing, dancing in the streets

Way down in l.a., every day they are dancing in the street

across the ocean they do like me and you
They are dancing in the street
Dancing in the street

David Bowie/Freddie Mercury – Under pressure              10

Under pressure
Pressure, pushing down on me, pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure, that burns a building down, splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

umbababeh   tidada tidada that’s okay

It’s the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming `Let me out’
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets

Padada, okay
Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours

edoo babeh

People on streets, dee doh dee da dee

It’s the terror of knowing  etc

Pressure on people, people on streets


Turned away from it all, like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don’t work
Keep coming up with love but it’s so slashed and torn
Why why why?       Love love love love

Insanity laughs, under pressure we’re cracking
Can’t we give ourselves one more chance
Why can’t we give love one more chance
Why can’t we give love, give love etc

Cause love’s such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves

This is our last dance (x2) this is ourselves Under pressure

Brandy and Monica – The boy is mine                                                     10a

[chorus]
You need to give it up, had about enough
It’s not hard to see the boy is mine
I’m sorry that you seem to be confused
He belongs to me, the boy is mine

[Brandy] I think it’s time we got this straight, let’s sit and talk, face to face
There is no way you could mistake him, for your man, are you insane

[Monica] See I know that you may be just a bit jealous of me
Cause you’re blind if you can’t see that his love is all in me

[Brandy] See I tried to hesitate, I didn’t want to say, what he told me
He said, without me he couldn’t make it through the day, ain’t that a shame

[Monica] And maybe you misunderstood, cause I can’t see how he could
Wanna change something that’s so good, all of my love was all it took

chorus

[Monica] Must you do the things you do, keep on acting like a fool
You need to know, it’s me not you and if you didn’t know it, girl it’s true

[Brandy] I think that you should realize and try to understand, why
He is a part of my life, I know it’s killing you inside

[Monica] You can say what you wanna say, what we have, you can’t take
From the truth, you can’t escape, I can tell the real, from the fake

[Brandy] When will you get the picture, you’re the past, I’m the future
Get away, it’s my time to shine, if you didn’t know, the boy is mine

chorus

[Monica] You can’t destroy this love I’ve found, your silly games, I won’t allow
The boy is mine, without a doubt, you might as well throw in the towel

[Brandy] What makes you think that he wants you

When I’m the one that brought him to
This special place that’s in my heart cause he was my love, right from the start

[chorus 2x]

[Brandy] He belongs to me [sang in chorus]
[Monica] The boy is mine, not yours
[Monica] Not yours [Brandy] But mine herhalen

I’m sorry that you seem to be confused – He belongs to me, the boy is mine

Michael Buble/Idina Menzel – Baby, it’s cold outside         11      

I really can’t stay                                            – But baby it’s cold outside
I’ve got to go away                                        – But baby it’s cold outside
This evening has been                                   – Been hoping that you’d drop in
so very nice                                                    – I’ll hold your hands

                                                                                               they’re just like ice


My mother will start to worry                       – Beautiful, what’s your hurry?
My father will be pacing the floor     – Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I’d better scurry                   – Beautiful, please don’t hurry
Well maybe just a soda-pop more     – Put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think                 – Baby, it’s bad out there
Say, was that a wink?                                    – No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how                                         – Your eyes are like starlight
to break this spell                                           – I’ll take your hat, your hair looks swell


I ought to get home for dinner                         – Mind if I move in closer?
So it’s time for me to cast you aside -What’s the sense of hurting my pride?
I really can’t stay                                              – Baby don’t hold out                      
                            Baby it’s cold outside

I simply must go                                            – Baby it’s cold outside
So thanks for the show                                  – But baby it’s cold outside
The welcome has been                                  – How lucky that you dropped in
so nice and warm                                           – Look out the window at that storm


My sister will be suspicious                          – Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door             – Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt’s mind is vicious                 – Gosh, your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a few minutes more            – never such a blizzard before

I’ve got to get home                           – Baby, you’ll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb                                – It’s up to your knees out there
You’ve really been grand                               – I thrill when you touch my hand
But don’t you see                                           – How can you do this thing to me?
There’s bound to be talk tomorrow    – Think of my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied  – If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can’t stay                                            – Get over that hold out


                                    Baby it’s cold, baby it’s cold outside

Buckingham/Nicks – Frozen love                                               11a

You may not be as strong as me
And I may not care to teach you
It may be hard to keep up with me
But I’ll always be able to reach you

And if you go forward, I’ll meet you there
(If you go forward)
And if you climb up through the cold, freezing air
Look down below you, search out above
And cry out to life for a frozen love
Cry, love

Life gave me you, yeah, the change was made
And there’s no beginning over
You are not happy, but what is love?
Hate gave you me for a lover

And if you go forward, I’ll meet you there
(If you go forward)
And if you climb up through the cold, freezing air
Look down below you, search out above

Save their soul    etc

Sunflowers and your face fascinate me

You love only the tallest trees

I come running down the hill

But you’re fast, you’re the winner

Long distance winner

Oh, yeah, you’re the winner

Long distance winner, ah, yeah

You’re the winner, ah, yeah   You’re the winner

Kate Bush/Peter Gabriel – Don’t give up                                                           12

In this proud land we grew up strong, we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win – I never thought I could fail

no fight left or so it seems,I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I’ve changed my face, I’ve changed my name

but no one wants you when you lose

Chorus:
Don’t give up ‘cos you have friends
Don’t give up, you’re not beaten yet
Don’t give up, I know you can make it good

though I saw it all around, never thought I could be affected
thought that we’d be the last to go, it is so strange the way things turn

drove the night toward my home

the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth

the trees had burned down to the ground

Don’t give up, you still have us
Don’t give up, we don’t need much of anything
Don’t give up ‘cause somewhere there’s a place where we belong

                        rest your head, you worry too much
                        it’s going to be alright
                        when times get rough you can fall back on us
                        don’t give up, please don’t give up

            got to walk out of here, I can’t take anymore
            going to stand on that bridge, keep my eyes down below
            whatever may come and whatever may go
            that river’s flowing, that river’s flowing

moved on to another town, tried hard to settle down
for every job, so many men, so many men no-one needs

don’t give up, ‘cause you have friends
don’t give up, you’re not the only one
don’t give up, no reason to be ashamed
don’t give up, you still have us
don’t give up now, we’re proud of who you are
don’t give up, you know it’s never been easy
don’t give up, ‘cause I believe there’s the a place
there’s a place where we belong

Neneh Cherry/Youssou n’Dour – 7 Seconds                              12a

Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane
Khamouma li neka thi sama souf ak thi guinaw
Beugouma kouma khol oaldine yaw li neka si yaw
mo ne si man, li ne si mane moye dilene diapale

Roughneck and rudeness, we should be using

on the ones who practice wicked charms
For the sword and the stone, bad to the bone
Battle is not over even when it’s won


            And when a child is born into this world
            It has no concept of the tone the skin is living in

chorus:
It’s not a second, but 7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay I’ll be waiting
It’s not a second, 7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay I’ll be waiting
I’ll be waiting   2x

J’assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout,
J’aimerais qu’on oublie leur couleur pour qu’ils esperent
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu’ils desesperent
Je veux les gamins ouverts,
Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
Pour qu’ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas
Changer

chorus

I’ll be waiting 2x         -solo-

            And when a child is born into this world
            It has no concept of the tone the skin is living in
And there’s a million voices
And there’s a million voices
To tell you what she should be thinking
So you better sober up for just a second
chorus 2 x

Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin – Separate Lives                13

You called me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you met
And telling me how sorry you were, leaving so soon
And that you miss me sometimes when you’re alone in your room
Do I feel lonely too?

You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
I can’t go on just holding on to time
Now that we’re living separate lives

Well, I held on to let you go
And if you lost your love for me, well you never let it show
There was no way to compromise
So now we’re living (living)
Separate lives

Ooh, it’s so typical, love leads to isolation
So you build that wall (build that wall)
Yes, you build that wall (build that wall)
And you make it stronger

Well, you have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Some day I might (I might) find myself looking in your eyes
But for now, we’ll go on living separate lives
Yes for now, we’ll go on living separate lives
Separate lives

Phil Collins & Philip Bailey – Easy Lover                                       14

chorus:
Easy lover, she’ll get a hold on you believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you’ll be on your knees
She’s an easy lover
She’ll take your heart but you won’t feel it
She’s like no other
And I’m just trying to make you see

She’s the kind of girl you dream of
Dream of keeping hold of
You’d better forget it, you’ll never get it
She will play around and leave you
Leave you and deceive you
Better forget it, oh you’ll regret it

                        No you’ll never change her, so leave it, leave it
                        Get out quick ‘cause seeing is believing
                        It’s the only way you’ll ever know


chorus


You’re the one that wants to hold her
Hold her and control her
You’d better forget it, you’ll never get it
For she’ll say there’s no other
Till she finds another
Better forget it, oh you’ll regret it

                        And don’t try to change her, just leave it, leave it
                        You’re not the only one, cause seeing is believing
                        It’s the only way you’ll ever know, oh

                        2x

chorus

Common Linnets – Calm After The Storm                        15

Driving in the fast lane, counting mile marker signs
The empty seat beside me keeps you on my mind

Livin’ in the heartache was never something I pursued
I can’t keep on chasing what I can’t be for you

chorus:
Oohh, skies are black and blue
I’m thinking about you
Here in the calm after the storm

tears on the highway, water in my eyes
This rain ain’t gonna change us, what’s the use to cry

I could say I’m sorry but I don’t wanna lie
I just wanna know if staying is better than goodbye

Oohh, skies are black and blue
I’m thinking about you
Here in the calm after the storm


Oohh after all that we’ve been through
(baby) there ain’t nothing new
Here in the calm after the storm

 solo


Maybe I can find you down this broken line
Maybe you can find me, guess we’ll know in time

Oohh, skies are black and blue
I’m thinking about you
Here in the calm after the storm
there ain’t nothing new
Here in the calm after the storm

Crowded House – Four Seasons in One Day                        15a

Four seasons in one day
Lying in the depths of your imagination
Worlds above and worlds below
The sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain

Even when you’re feeling warm
The temperature could drop away
Like four seasons in one day

Smiling as the shit comes down
You can tell a man from what he has to say
Everything gets turned around
And I will risk my neck again, again

You can take me where you will
Up the creek and through the mill
Like all the things you can’t explain
Four seasons in one day

Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day

It doesn’t pay to make predictions
Sleeping on an unmade bed
Finding out wherever there is comfort there is pain
Only one step away
Like four seasons in one day

Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day

Crowded House – It’s Only Natural                                                  15b

Ice will melt, water will boil
You and I can shake off this mortal coil
It’s bigger than us
You don’t have to worry about it
Ready or not here comes the drop
You feel lucky when you know where you are
It’s gonna come true
Here in your arms I remember

[Chorus]
It’s only natural that I should want to
Be there with you
It’s only natural that you should
Feel the same way too

It’s easy when you don’t try going on first impressions
Man in a cage has made his confession
You’ve seen me at my worst
And it won’t be the last time I’m down there


I want you to know I feel completely at ease
Read me like a book that’s fallen down between your knees
Please let me have my way with you

chorus

It’s circumstantial, it’s nothing written in the sky
And we don’t even have to try


We’ll be shaking like mud, buildings of glass
Sink into the bay they’ll be under the rocks again
You don’t have to say I know you’re afraid

chorus

It’s circumstantial, it’s something I was born to
It’s only natural, can’t help it if I want to

Crowded house – Weather with you                                   15c

Walking ‘round the room singing Stormy Weather
At Fifty Seven Mount Pleasant Street
Well it’s the same room, but everything’s different
You can fight the sleep, but not the dream

Things ain’t cookin’ in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn’t conquer the blue sky

Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you

Well, there’s a small boat made of china
It’s going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Well, do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released?

Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you

Everly brothers – Devoted to you                              16

Darlin’ you can count on me
Till the sun dries up the sea
Until then I’ll always be devoted to you

I’ll be yours through endless time
I’ll adore your charms sublime
Guess by now you know that I’m devoted to you

I’ll never hurt you, I’ll never lie
I’ll never be untrue
I’ll never give you reason to cry
I’d be unhappy if you were blue

Through the years my love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can’t die because I’m so devoted to you

I’ll never hurt you, I’ll never lie
I’ll never be untrue
I’ll never give you reason to cry
I’d be unhappy if you were blue

Through the years my love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can’t die because I’m so devoted to you

The Everly Brothers – Dream                                             17

Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away

I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream

Everly Brothers – Let it be me                         18

I bless the day I found you,

I’ll want to stay around you

And so I’ll beg you, let it be me

Don’t take this heaven from one,

if you must cling to someone

Now and forever, let it be me

Each time we’ll need love, I find complete love

Without your sweet love, what would live be

So never leave me lonely,

tell me you love me only

And that you always, let it be me

SOLO

Each time we’ll need love, I find complete love

Extreme – More than words                                                                           20

 Sayin’ I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It’s not that I want you
Not to say it, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
Cause I’d already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away?
Then you couldn’t make things new
Just by saying I love you

(la di da, blah di da da dada)
More than words
(lad di da da di da)

Now that I’ve tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don’t ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
Cause I’d already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away?
Then you couldn’t make things new
Just by saying I love you


More than words
Ooooohhhhhhh ooooohhhhhhh

More than… Words

Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston – It Takes Two                   21

One can have a dream, baby
Two can make a dream so real
One can talk about being in love
Two can see how it really feels

One can wish upon a star
Two can make a wish come true, yeah
One can stand alone in the dark
Two can make a light shine through

chorus:
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
just me and you
You know it takes two

One can have a broken heart
living in misery
Two can really ease the pain
like a perfect remedy


One can be alone in a bar
like an island he’s all alone
Two can make just any place
seem just like bein’ at home

chorus 2 x             solo             chorus

One can go out to a movie
looking for a special treat
Two can make that single movie
something really kind of sweet


And one can take a walk in the moonlight
thinking that’s it’s really nice
But two lovers walking hand in hand
is like adding just a pinch of spice
chorus 2 x                      Oh doo doo doo doo    a

Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell – You’re all I need to get by                      22

                        You’re all I need to get by aah (herhalen)
Like the sweet morning dew, I took one look at you
And it was plain to see, you were my destiny.
With my arms open wide I threw away my pride
I’ll sacrifice for you, dedicate my life for you

I will go where you lead
Always there in time of need

And when I lose my will
You’ll be there to push me up the hill

chorus:
There’s no, no looking back for us
We got love sure ‘nough, that’s enough
You’re all, you’re all I need to get by.

                        You’re all I need to get by aah (herhalen)
Like an eagle protects his nest, for you I’ll do my best,
Stand by you like a tree, dare anybody to try and move me
Darling in you I found strength where I was torn down
Don’t know what’s in store but together we can open any door


Just to do what’s good for you

and inspire you a little higher

I know you can make a man

out of a soul that didn’t have a goal


Cause we, we got the right foundation

and with love and determination
You’re all I want to strive for and do a little more
You’r all, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one
You’re all, you’re all I need
You’re all I need to get by.

Gotye – Somebody That I Used To Know                               23

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I’ll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
No, you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know 3 x

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I’d done
And I don’t wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know…

chorus

Somebody (I used to know)
(Somebody) Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
2x

I used to know   – that I used to know   –    I used to know
Somebody

Jermaine Jackson-Pia Zadora – When the Rain Begins to Fall  24

Like the sand can seep

right through your fingers so can all your day
As those days go by

you’ll have me there to help you find the way


The way I feel with you I know it’s got to last forever.

chorus
And when the rain begins to fall
you’ll ride my rainbow in the sky
And I will catch you if you fall
you’ll never have to ask me why.
And when the rain begins to fall

I’ll be the sunshine in your life
You know that we can have it all

and everything will be allright.


Time goes by so fast

you’ve got to have a dream to just hold on
All my dreams oflove began
With the reality of you.


You and I believe that all our dreams will last forever.


chorus

Though the sun may hide
We still can see
The light that shines for you and me

We’ll be together all that we can be.
And when the rain begins to fall

Michael Jackson/Paul McCartney – The girl is mine                   26

Every night she walks right in my dreams
Since I met her from the start
I’m so proud I am the only one who is special in her heart
The girl is mine, the doggone girl is mine


I know she’s mine because the doggone girl is mine

I don’t understand the way you think
Saying that she’s yours not mine
Sending roses and your silly dreams
Really just a waste of time
Because she’s mine, the doggone girl is mine


Don’t waste your time because the doggone girl is mine

I love you more than he (Take you anywhere)
But I love you endlessly (Loving we will share)
So come and go with me, two on the town

But we both cannot have her, so it’s one or the other
And one day you’ll discover
That she’s my girl forever and ever

Don’t build your hopes to be let down
Cause I really feel it’s time
I know she’ll tell you I’m the one for her
Cause she said I blow her mind
The girl is mine, the doggone girl is mine


Don’t waste your time because the doggone girl is mine

She’s mine, she’s mine
No, no, no, she’s mine
The girl is mine, the girl is mine
The girl is mine, the girl is mine

The girl is mine (mine mine), yep she’s mine (mine mine)
The girl is mine (mine mine), yes she’s mine (mine mine)

Don’t waste your time because the doggone girl is mine
The girl is mine, the girl is mine

i call your name
Whispers at morning, our love is dawning
Heaven’s glad you came

            You know how I feel, this thing can’t go wrong

And angels sing

A love so true
When morning awakes me, will you come and take me
I’ll wait for you

You know how I feel, I won’t stop until
I hear your voice saying “I do”
This thing can’t go wrong, this feeling’s so strong
Well, my life ain’t worth living if I can’t be with you

Brigitte Kaandorp/Herman Finkers – We staan samen sterk                          28

Luisteraar, hij is knap, hij is leuk, hij is intelligent Hij is sterk, hij is woest aantrekkelijk Hij heeft een snor en een accent en hij staat hier naast me Ik zing ’t duet met de man van mijn dromen

Dank je Birgit
En zei Socrates al niet “op ieder potje past een dekseltje”
Al verschillen wij nog zo veel al kunnen wij elkaar amper verstaan
Als wij bij elkaar zijn, dan past zelfs de grootste sleutel in het
kleinste slot

Huh, wat zeg je?
Wat?

Jij bent de sleutel, ik ’t slot
Jij bent de gids, ik ben de grot (wat?)
Jij bent de deksel, ik de pot
We staan samen sterk, dit gaat nooit kapot

Jij bent de zee, ik ben de pier
Jij bent het glas, ik ben het bier
Jij bent de koe, ik ben de stier (oh Herman)
1 Uur met jou is vijf kwartier

(We staan samen sterk) Jij bent de trein, ik het station
(We staan samen sterk) Jij bent de regen, ik de ton
(We staan samen sterk) Jij bent de kers, ik de bonbon
(We staan samen sterk) Jij bent de rups, ik de cocon

(We staan samen sterk) Ik ben het zakje, jij de thee
(We staan samen sterk) Ik ben de kaas, jij de souffle
(We staan samen sterk) Ik ben de keizer, jij de snee
(We staan samen sterk) Ik ben Toon Hermans, jij bent Carre

We staan samen sterk   4x
We staan samen sterk


‘k Had nooit gedacht dat ik ooit met jou zou zingen

                                                                       Ik mocht eerst niet van m’n verloofde
Een liefdesduet                                 

                                                                       Wie weet werden we’r wereldberoemd mee
Dan maken we nog meer van dit soort dingen
                                                                       We zingen over heel de wereld
Dan kopen we een villa en een jacht (villa en een jacht)


Nah, ’n villa en ’n jacht vind ik trouwens ook weer niet nodig
W’rom niet?
Nah, da’s duur
Nou ja Herman, we zitten middenin een romantisch duet
Nou, ik vind dat toch wel belangrijk
Nah ja, sorry hoor, maar dat vind ik nou echt iets voor een tukker, om nou over geld te beginnen
Ja luister Birgit, ik vind romatiek best maar het moet wel betaalbaar
blijven
Nah ja, dat vind ik nou echt belachelijk

………..    Ik ben bang
Wij zijn het varken en de tang           wat een pietluttigheid nou opeens zeg,
                                                                       betaalbare romantiek dat bestaat toch niet
Bonifacius en een Fries                     dat kost nou eenmaal handevol geld maar
Jij bent ’t schrikdraad waarop ik pies

                                                                       krentekakker ook eigenlijk ook zeg


Ik ben de kip, jij bent de gril             

                                                                       hiero, moet je ‘m zien staan in dat ouwe kloffie
Ik ben de paus, jij bent de pil

                                                                       hij heb ook geen smaak ook he, gewoon met                                                                                  Danny de Munk moeten doen
Wij zijn een doedelzak in Tirol

                                                                       die begrijpt dat soort dingen tenminste
Jij bent Berdien Stenberg, ik ben een viool

                                                                       ja en maar doorzingen, waar slaat dat nou op


Ik ben de steen, jij bent de nier          met z’n stomme snor
Jij bent Amstel, ik ben bier                ja, nog een beetje reclame zitten maken
                                                                       op mijn CD
Jij bent Pieter, ik ’t klavier                 boer, nah ik heb ’t helemaal gehad
’t Leek me ook sterk                           nou mij ook

Het leek me ook sterk                                    het leek me ook sterk
Het leek me ook sterk                                    het leek me ook sterk

I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the momen’t gone


All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity


Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea


All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see


Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind, ohh

Now, don’t hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky


It slips away
And all your money won’t another minute buy


Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
The wind

Krezip – I Would Stay                                                                                          30

If this is true, I thought then, what will I think?
Will I stay or rather I would get away?
I`m scared that I won`t find a thing
And afraid that I`ll turn out to be alone
But I…

I have to learn, have to try, have to trust I have to cry
Have to see, have to know that I can be myself

And if I could, I would stay
And if they`re not, not in my way
I`ll stare here in the distance
But I`ll grow up to be just like you, yeah
I`ll grow up to be just like you, yeah

I see it all I`m sure but do I know what`s right?
I thought I knew, but it turns out the other way
I am scared that I won`t find a thing and afraid that I`ll turn out to be alone
But I…

I have to learn, have to try, have to trust I have to cry
I have to see have to know that I can be myself

refrein

I want to tell you
Why would I try to?
You are all that I can see now
Why would I try to?

And I want to tell you
Why would I try to?
You are all I can see now
I know I`ll try to

I have to learn, have to try, have to trust I had to cry
I have to see, have to know that I can be myself

K’s Choice – 20.000 seconds                                31

20,000 seconds since you’ve left and I’m still counting
And 20,000 reasons to get up,
get something done, but I’m still waiting
Is someone kind enough to pick me up and give me food,
assure me that the world is good
But you should be here, you should be here

How colors can change and even the texture of the rain
And what’s that ugly little stain on the bathroom floor
I’d rather not deal with that right now
I’d rather be floating in space somewhere or
Worry about the ozone layer

And it’s almost like a corny movie scene
But I’m out of frame and the lighting’s bad
And the music has no theme
And we’re all so strong when nothing’s wrong
And the world is at our feet
But how small we are when our love is far away
And all you need is you

If you’re not scared  –  K’s Choice                                       32

Outside it’s raining, still you shine
How I’ve missed your trembling hands inside of mine
I’ve been away for ages, still you care
Do you count the Sundays when I’m there

Teach me how to watch this game
The way you see it through your magical frame
Time is ticking, try to see
That I am you and you are me

Don’t deny that you’re afraid to go
Don’t deny that you want to cry
Look around and watch your children grow
I feel love in every sigh
If you’re not scared, then why am I

Tell me stories, tell me more
Make me feel guilty for being bored
Tell me how to pick up things I’ve dropped
Please keep talking, never stop

Don’t deny that you’re afraid to go
Don’t deny that you want to cry
Look around and watch your children grow
I feel love in every sigh
Pray for eternity to fly
Don’t understand but how I try
If you’re not scared, then why am I I feel love in every sigh
Pray for eternity to fly
Don’t understand but how I try
If you’re not scared, then why am I…

K’s Choice – Quiet little place                            33

In this quiet little place,
I can’t remember having known a different pace
In this quiet little place,
I can surrender to the beauty of its face

And now everything I see
Whether it’s an airplane or a tree
It makes me wonder
About the things I must have missed
And the chains around my wrists
They are no longer

In this quiet little place
I can’t imagine what it’s like to be back home
Where they care about what time it is
And spend their days answering the phone

And now everything I feel
Whether it’s fiction or it’s real
It’s so much clearer
Like the color of this light
It seems more dangerous and bright
But I don’t fear her

And slowly it fades, I’m back in the race
I have to fight it, I know
I don’t want to go away

In this quiet little place
You run your fingers through my hair and whisper “Hey”
And no matter how I try, I can’t seem to think of anything better to say

K’s Choice – Wait                                                                        34

I hold it, I fold it
I throw it on the floor
I wrote it, but maybe I’m afraid
That you’ll be bored

It’s very real and true and sad
And hopeful just like me
It’s one of those things I’ll never tell
I’ll carve it in a tree

I follow you, I watch you
I thank god you’re in my class
I picture us in the schoolbus
And we’re holding each others’ hand

I need a plan for you to fall
In love with me and then
I’ll make you marry me, I’ll wait…

I never wear my glasses when
I know that you can see me
You act as if I’m not around
But deep down you must need me

I draw you, every single
Feature in my head
I try to do my homework
But I dream of you instead

I need a plan for you to fall
In love with me and then
I’ll make you marry me, I’ll wait…
I’ll make you marry me
I’ll make you marry me
I’ll make you marry, marry me…
I’ll wait

Kane/Ilse DeLange – Before You Let Me Go                                    35

Stay tonight, let me hold you like I never did before
Take my arms and let me hold you like I never did before
And I should have tried just to talk about this
Waiting, ending
I should have tried just to let you know

that I’m still here
So before you let me go

Take my hands
Let me touch you like I never did before
Take my heart and let me love you
Like I never did before, like I never did before
And I should have tried just to talk about it
Waiting, ending
I should have tried just to let you know
That I’m still here
            But we waste it every time
            Now my heart is on the line
            And we see ourselves no more

            When we’re closing every door
            It’s so much harder than before
            So before you let me go
            Before you let me go

Save the dance and let me spin you
Till your world is turning round and round, round and round
Save the chance and let me show you
Just like you need a little more, just like you need a little more

And I should have tried just to talk about it
Waiting, ending
I should have tried just to let you know
That I’m still here

            chorus
But we waste it every time, now my heart is on the line
we see oursleves no more
we’re closing every door – closing every door

yeah yeah
But we waste it every time – now my heart is on the line
And now we bruise with every step


When we’re closing every door, can we make it easier
Some time?
Some time

Patti LaBelle/Michael McDonald – On My Own                                36

So many times said it was forever
Said our love would always be true
Something in my heart always knew
I’d be lying here beside you  –  On my own 3 x

So many promises never should be spoken
Now I know what loving you cost
Now we’re up to talking divorce
And we weren’t even married
On my own once again now
One more time by myself

No one said it was easy
But it once was so easy
Well I believed, I believed in love
Now here I stand – I wonder why

I’m on my own – Why did it end this way
On my own – This wasn’t how it was supposed to be
On my own – I wish that we could do it all again

So many times I know I could have told you
Losing you it cut like a knife, hey
You walked out and there went my life
I don’t want to live without you

On my own – This wasn’t how it was supposed to end
On my own – I wish that we could do it all again
On my own – I never dreamed I’d spend one night alone – by myself


On my own – I’ve got to find where I belong again
On my own – I’ve got to learn how to be strong again
On my own – I never dreamed I’d spend one night alone
By myself by myself, by myself
I’ve got to find out what was mine again
On my own – My heart is saying that it’s my time again
On my own – And I have faith that I will shine again
On my own – I (on my own) have faith

Annie Lennox/Al Green – Put a little love in your heart    37

Think of your fellow man, lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see, it’s getting late, oh, please don’t hesitate
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see

Another day goes by, and still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart
If you want the world to know, we won’t let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see. Wait and see

Take a good look around and if you’re lookin’ down
Put a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart

Heddy Lester – de mallemolen                                           38

Refrein:

in de mallemolen van het leven
Draai je allemaal je eigen rondje mee
De molen draait ook zonder jou
Je paard blijft nooit lang leeg
Dus kom, draai met die mallemolen mee

Bij de mallemolen van het leven
Staat iedereen te wachten in een rij
Wachten tot je mee mag doen
Het duurt misschien wel even
Maar voor iedereen is er een paardje bij

refrein

Eenmaal in de molen van het leven
In ‘t begin ben je misschien een beetje bang
Dan zal iemand je vasthouden
Totdat je het alleen kunt
Want de mallemolen-angst duurt nooit te lang

En die mensenlevens-mallemolen
Gaat door tot je er draaierig van bent
Maar jij blijft je toch vasthouden
Al vind je het niet leuk meer
Want naast de molen is te onbekend

It’s the first time I can see

I can see a light shining in your eyes

Is it that I never tried is it that I try to hide

All that I feel this love’s so real

It’s the first time I can see

I can see the truth hiding for myself, for myself

It’s the first time I can see

I can see a light shining in your eyes, in your eyes

Wanna stay close to you

It just don’t matter what you do

I got so much to offer, I got nothing to loose

I’ll give you the story if you let me

It’s the first time I can feel

I can feel your love is burning in my mind

Is it that you’ve always shown

Is it that I’ve always known your love for me was meant to be

It’s the first time I can feel

I can feel my heart is burning through myself, through myself

It’s the first time I can see

I can see a light shining in your eyes no more lies

Wanna stay close to you

It just don’t matter what you do

I got so much to offer, I got nothing to loose

I’ll give you the story if you let me

Meatloaf – Paradise by dashboard the light                                                           42

I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school, they were wishing they were me that night

And now our bodies are oh, so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right

And we’re glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C’mon, hold on tight, c’mon, hold on tight
           

            Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night
            I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Ain’t no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed
‘Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed

Ain’t no doubt about it
Baby got to go out and shout it
Ain’t no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed
‘Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed

—-
Baby don’t ya hear my heart? You got it drowing out the radio
I’ve been waiting so long for you to come along and have some fun
And I gotta let you know, no, you’re never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes, I got a big surprise, it’ll feel all right
Well, I wanna make you motor run

And now our bodies are oh, so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right


And we’re glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C’mon, hold on tight, C’mon, hold on tight

            Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night
            I can see paradise by the dashboard light
            Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night
            Paradise by the dashboard light

You got to do what you can and let Mother Nature do the rest
Ain’t no doubt about it we were doubly blessed
‘Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely…

We’re gonna go all the way tonight
We’re gonna go all the way and tonight’s the night

We’re gonna go all the way tonight
We’re gonna go all the way and tonight’s the night  herhalen
STOP right there!
I gotta know right now before we go any further
Do you love me? Will you love me forever? Do you need me? Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?


Do you love me? Will you love me forever? Do you need me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
I gotta know right now before we go any further!
Do you love me? Will you love me forever?

Let me sleep on it, Baby, Baby, let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it and I’ll give you an answer in the morning         3x


I gotta know right now!                                                        
Do you love me? Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
I gotta know right now before we go any further
Do you love me and will you love me forever?

What’s it gonna be boy? I can’t wait all night.

What’s it gonna be boy? yes or no?

Let me sleep on it  Baby baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it and I’ll give you an answer in the morning  –

I gotta know right now! Do you love me?will you etc.    Let me sleep on it, baby baby etc

Do you LOVE ME?? Will you love me forever?

               ‘Let me sleep on it!’  ‘Will you love me forever?’

I couldn’t take it any longer, Lord, I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother’s grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore I would love you to the end of time

So now I’m praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive
‘Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you I don’t think that I can really survive
I’ll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I’m praying for the end of time, that’s all that I can do
I’m praying for the end of time so I can end my time with you

It was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better than it is today
It never felt so good, It never felt so right
And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

Anita Meijer en Lee Towers – Run to me           43

If ever you got rain in your heart,
someone has hurt you, and torn you apart,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

And let it be like they said it would be –
me loving you girl, and you loving me.
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

Run to me whenever you’re lonely. (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older,
so darling, you run to me.

And when you’re out in the cold,
no one beside you, and no one to hold,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

And when you’ve got nothing to lose,
nothing to pay for, nothing to choose,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me

Run to me whenever you’re lonely. (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then you need someone older,
so darling, you run to me.

Tonight you belong to me – Joshua Radin en Ingrid Michaelson       43a

I know, I know you belong
To somebody new
But tonight
You belong to me

Although, although we’re apart
You’re part of my heart
And tonight
You belong to me

Way down
By the stream
How sweet
It will seem
Once more
Just to dream
In the moonlight

My honey, I know, I know with the dawn
That you will be gone
But tonight
You belong to me

Way down, way down along the stream
How very very sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream
In the silvery moonlight

My honey, I know, I know
With the dawn
That you will be gone
But tonight
You belong to me

Just a little old me

Mickey & Sylvia – Love is strange                               44

Love, love is strange
Lot of people take it for a game

Once you get it, you’ll never wanna quit
After you’ve had it, you’re in an awful fix

Many people don’t understand
They think loving is money in the hand

Your sweet loving is better than a kiss
When you leave me, sweet kisses I miss

Sylvia?

Yes, Mickey?

How do you call your loverboy?

Come here, loverboy!

And if he doesn’t answer?

Oh, loverboy!

And if he still doesn’t answer?

I simply say:

Baby, oh baby
My sweet baby
You’re the one

Baby, oh baby
My sweet baby
You’re the one

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell.
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high.
Mama’s dancin’ with a baby on her shoulder.
The sun is settin’ like molasses in the sky.
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything.
Always wanting more, he’d leave you longing for.

Black velvet in that little boy’s smile.
Black velvet with that slow southern style.
A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees.
Black velvet if you please.

Up in Memphis the music’s like a heatwave.
White lightning, bound to drive you wild.
Mama’s baby’s in the heart of every school girl.
“Love me tender” leaves ‘em cryin’ in the aisle.
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true.
Always wanting more, he’d leave you longing for.

Black velvet and that little boy’s smile.
Black velvet with that slow southern style.
A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees.
Black velvet if you please.

Every word of every song that he sang was for you.
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon.
What could you do?

Black velvet and that little boy’s smile.
Black velvet with that slow southern style.
A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees.
Black velvet if you please.

Black velvet and that little boy’s smile.

A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees.
Black velvet if you please.

If you please.3x

Especially for you
I wanna let you know what I was going through
All the time we were apart I thought of you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
I still feel the same

Especially for you
I wanna tell you I was feeling that way too
And if dreams were wings, you know

Nazareth – Love Hurts                             47

Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds, and mars,
Any heart, not tough, or strong, enough


To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts

I’m young, I know, but even so
I know a thing, or two I learned, from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame, it burns you when it’s hot
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts

Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
They’re not foolin’ me

I know it isn’t true, I know it isn’t true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh,ooh love hurts
Ooh,ooh love hurts
-solo-


I know it isn’t true, I know it isn’t true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Ooh ooh love hurts
Ooh ooh…

Stevie Nicks en Tom Petty – Leather And Lace                              48

Is love so fragile
And the heart so hollow
Shatter with words
Impossible to follow

You’re saying I’m fragile
I try not to be, I search only
For something I can’t see

I have my own life
And I am stronger than you know
But I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won’t be walking out the door
Still I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won’t be walking out the door

chorus:
Lovers forever, face to face
My city or mountains, stay with me stay
I need you to love me, I need you today
Give to me your leather

Take from me my lace

You in the moonlight with your sleepy eyes
Could you ever love a man like me
And you were right
When I walked into your house
I knew I’d never want to leave


Sometimes I’m a strong man
Sometimes cold and scared and sometimes I cry
But that time I saw you
I knew with you to light my nights
Somehow I’d get by

Donny Osmond – I’m Leaving It All up to You         50

I’m leaving it all up to you
You decide what you’re gonna do
Now do you want my love
Or are we through

That’s why I’m leaving it all up to you
You decide what you’re gonna do
Now do you want my love
Or are we through

I’ve got my heart in my hand
I don’t understand
What have I done wrong
I worship the ground that you walk on

That’s why I’m leaving it all up to you
You decide what you’re gonna do
Now do you want my love
Or are we through

Donny & Marie Osmond – Paper Roses                         51

I realise the way your eyes deceive me
With tender looks that I mistook for love
So take away the flowers that you gave me
And send the kind that you remind me of

Paper roses, paper roses,
Oh how real those roses seem to me
But they’re only imitation
Like your imitation love for me

I thought that you would be a perfect lover
You seemed so full of sweetness at the start
But like a big red rose that’s made of paper
There isn’t any sweetness in your heart

Paper roses, paper roses,
Oh how real those roses seem to me
But they’re only imitation
Like your imitation love for me

Elaine Paige/Barbara Dickson – I know him so well          52

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From wanting far too much for far too long
Looking back, I could have done it differently
Won a few more moments, who can tell?
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know, I know him well

chorus:
Wasn’t it good, wasn’t it fine
Isn’t it madness he can’t be mine
But in the end, he needs a little more than before
Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well

No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide
Looking back, I could have played it differently
Learned about the man before I fell
But I was ever so much younger then

chorus

Didn’t I know how it would go if I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart

Wasn’t it fine
Isn’t it madness he can’t be mine
But in the end, he needs a little more than before
Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
It took some to understand him
Hoo ooh I know him so well

Peaches & Herb – Reunited                                             53

Hij:

I was a fool to ever leave your side
Me minus you is such a lonely ride
The breakup we had has made me lonesome and sad
I realize I love you ‘cause I want you bad, hey, hey

Zij:
I spent the ev’ning with the radio
Regret the moment that I let you go
Our quarrel was such a way of learnin’ so much
I know now that I love you ‘cause I need your touch, hey, hey

Chorus:
Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited ‘cause we understood
There’s one perfect fit
And, sugar, this one is it
We both are so excited ‘cause we’re reunited, hey, hey

Zij:

I sat here starin’ at the same old wall
Came back to life just when I got your call
I wished I could climb right through the telephone line
And give you what you want so you will still be mine, hey, hey

Hij:
I can’t go cheatin’, honey, I can’t play
I found it very hard to stay away
As we reminisce on precious moments like this
I’m glad we’re back together ‘cause I missed your kiss, hey, hey

Chorus

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh baby

Hij: Lover, lover, this is solid love
Zij: And you’re exactly what I’m dreamin’ of
Hij: All through the day
Zij: And all through the night
Beiden: I’ll give you all the love I have with all my might, hey, hey

Ciska Peters/Ronnie Tober – Naar de kermis                                    54

Hé, Ronnie, m’n Ronnie, ik had papa beloofd
Om jou niet te kussen voordat we zijn verloofd

Hé, Ciska, m’n Ciska, toe trek het je niet aan
Want straks is ’t donker en kun je stiekem gaan

Hé, Ronnie, m’n Ronnie, als dat mijn vader ziet
Maar, Ciska, wat denk je, hij merkt ’t zeker niet
Ik zet wel een ladder onder aan ’t raam
We hebben dat samen al zo vaak gedaan

refrein:
Vanavond gaan we naar de kermis in de stad
Van de schiettent gaan we naar ’t reuzenrad
Op de kermis daar is altijd wat te doen
En boven in dat reuzenrad krijg jij een zoen             

Hé, Ronnie, m’n Ronnie, ik ben een beetje bang
Ik wil met je meegaan maar dan wel niet te lang
Ja, Ciska, ik weet ’t, je vader is niet mis
Maar dansen met jou is ’t mooiste wat er is

refrein


Lalala…

Heet zal de zomer wezen
Langer dan ooit voor deze
Als je dan hier in m’n armen ligt
Kus ik zacht jouw gezicht

Heet zal de zomer wezen
Je zal in m’n ogen lezen
Als ik je zo in m’n armen hou
M’n schat, ik hou van jou

Hé, Ronnie, m’n Ronnie, ik mis je elke dag
Maar ga nou, m’n jongen, als pa je hier eens zag
Tot zo dan, m’n Ciska, en hoor je zacht je naam
Dan sta ik met m’n ladder onderaan je raam

Lalala…

Iggy Pop/Kate Pierson – Candy                                      55

It’s a rainy afternoon in 1990
The big city geez it’s been 20 years
Candy, you were so fine

Beautiful, beautiful girl from the north
You burned my heart with a flickering torch
I had a dream that no one else could see
You gave me love for free

chorus:
Candy, candy, candy, I can’t let you go
All my life you’re haunting me, I loved you so
Candy, candy, candy, I can’t let you go
Life is crazy
Candy, baby


Yeah, well, it hurt me real bad when you left
I’m glad you got out but, but I miss you


I’ve had a hole in my heart for so long
I’ve learned to fake it and just smile along
Down on the street those men are all the same
I need a love, not games
Not games

Candy, candy, candy, I can’t let you go
All my life you’re haunting me, I loved you so
Candy, candy, candy, I can’t let you go
Life is crazy
I know, baby
Candy, baby

wowowowo

Billy Preston/Syreeta – With You I’m Born Again         56

Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness

Woman, don’t you know with you I’m born again


Come give me your sweetness
Now there’s you, there is no weakness

Lying safe with you I’m born again

            I was half not whole, in step with none
            Reaching through this world, in need of one

Come show me your kindness
In your arms I now I’ll find this
Woman, don’t you know with you I’m born again
Lying safe with you I’m born again


Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman, don’t you know with you I’m born again
Come give me your sweetness
Now there’s you, there is no weakness
Lying safe within your arms, I’m born again

            I was half not whole, in step with none
            Reaching through this world, in need of one


Come show me your kindness
In your arms I know I’ll find this

Woman, don’t you know with you I’m born again
Lying safe with you I’m born again

Eros Ramazzotti – Cose Della Vita                                                                        57

Yeah

Sono umane situazioni
Quei momenti fra di noi
I distacchi ed i ritorni
Da capirci niente poi
Già… come vedi
Sto pensando a te…
Oh yeah… da un pò

They’re just human contradictions
Feeling happy, feeling sad
These emotional transitions
All the memories we’ve had
Yes, you know it’s true
I just can’t stop thinking of you

No, I just can’t pretend
All the time that we spent could die
Wanna feel it again
All the love we felt then

Confinanti di cuore solo che ognuno sta
Dietro gli steccati degli orgogli suoi
Sto pensando a te
O yeah, sto pensando a noi…

Sono cose della vita
Vanno prese un pò così
Some for worse and some for better
But through it all we’ve come so far
Già… come vedi
Io sto ancora in piedi perché

Sono umani tutti i sogni miei, o yeah
Con le mani io li prenderei, sì perché…
What is life without a dream to hold?
Take my hand and never let me go

It’s part of life together
But what future does it hold?
Sono cose della vita
Ma la vita poi dov’è?
Dov’è? Dov’è? Dov’è?

Yes, you know it’s true
I just can’t stop thinking of you
Questa notte che passa piano accanto a me
Cerco di affrontarla, afferrarla
If our hearts miss a beat
Or get lost like a ship at sea
I want to remember, I can never forget

Can’t stop thinking of you
Sto pensando a noi         can’t stop thinking of you   Can’t stop

Lionel Richie/Diana Ross – Endless love                58

My love, there’s only you in my life
The only thing that’s bright

My first love, you’re every breath that I take
You’re every step I make

 And I, I want to share all my love with you
 No one else will do

 And your eyes, they tell me how much you care
 Ooh yes, you will always be
 My endless love

Two hearts, two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun

Forever I’ll hold you close in my arms
I can’t resist your charms

 And love, I’ll be a fool or you,I’m sure
 You know I don’t mind
 ‘Coz you, you mean the world to me
 Oh I know I’ve found in you
 My endless love

Boom, boom

 Oh, and love, I’ll be that fool for you, I’m sure
 You know I don’t mind
 And, yes, you’ll be the only one
 ‘Cause no one can deny
 This love I have inside
 And I’ll give it all to you
 My love, my endless love

Kenny Rogers/Dolly Parton – islands in the stream      59


Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
I was soft inside there was something going on.

You do something to me that I can’t explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain ev’ry beat of my heart
We got something going on.

Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication.
All this love we feel needs no conversation.

Chorus:           We ride it together uh huh
                        Makin’love with each other uh huh.
                        Islands in the stream, that is what we are
                        No one in between how can we be wrong
                        Sail away with me to another world
                        And we rely on each other uh huh
                        From one lover to another uh huh.

I can’t live without you if the love is gone
Ev’rything is nothing if you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losin sight of the real thing.

But that won’t happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the messages is clear
This could be the year of the real thing.

No more will you cry baby I will hurt you never.
We start and end as one in love forever

chorus

Seether/Amy Lee – Broken                                        60


I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain…

Because I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away.

You’ve gone away
You don’t feel me here – anymore

The worst is over now
And we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high and steal my pain away


There’s so much left to learn
And no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

chorus:
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away

[Instrumental]

[Instrumental]

‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome

Ramses Shaffy en Liesbeth List – Pastorale                    61

Mijn hemel blauw met gouden hallen
Mijn wolkentorens, ijskristallen
Kometen, manen en planeten, aah alles draait om mij
En door de witte wolkenpoort tot diep onder de golven

boort mijn vuur, mijn liefde, zich in de aarde
            En bij het water speelt mijn kind
            En alle schelpen die het vindt gaan blinken als ik lach

‘k Hou van je warmte op mijn gezicht
Ik hou van de koperen kleur van je licht
Ik geef je water in mijn hand en schelpen uit het zoute zand
Ik heb je lief, zo lief

Ik scheur de rotsen met mijn stralen
Verdroog de meren in hun dalen
En onweersluchten doe ik vluchten, aah als de regen valt
Verberg je ogen in mijn hand
Voordat m’n glimlach ze verbrandt
m’n vuur, m’n liefde, mijn gouden ogen
            ’t Is beter als je nog wat wacht
            Want even later komt de nacht en schijnt de koele maan

De nacht is te koud, de maan te grijs
Toe neem me toch mee naar je hemelpaleis
Daar wil ik zijn alleen met jou, en stralen in het hemelblauw
Ik heb je lief, zo lief

Als ik de aarde ga verwarmen
Laat ik haar leven in m’n armen
Van sterren weefde ik het verre, aah het noorderlicht
Maar soms ben ik als kokend lood
Ik ben het leven en de dood
In vuur, in liefde, in alle tijden
            M’n kind ik vraag je, kijk omhoog
            Vandaag span ik mijn regenboog
            Die is alleen voor jou

Zij:                                                                                             Zij:
‘k Wil liever branden neem me mee              Nee nooit sta ik een seconde stil 
Wanneer je vanavond gaat slapen in zee       Geen mens kan mij dwingen als ik niet wil
en vliegen langs jouw hemelbaan                             Geen leven dat ik niet begon                                Ik wil nooit meer bij je vandaan                              Je kunt niet houden van de zon

Ik heb je lief, zo lief

(Ik heb je lief) Ik heb je lief, zo lief


Simon & Garfunkel – the Boxer                                                               62

I am just a poor boy. Though my story’s seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
            All lies and jests. Still a man hears what he wants to hear
            And disregards the rest, hmmmmmm

When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers

in the quiet of the railway station, running scared

            Laying low

            seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go
            Looking for the places only they would know

Lie la lie, lie la la la lie lie

Asking only workman’s wages I come looking for a job
But I get no offers

just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue

            I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
            I took some comfort there, le le le le le le le

Now the years are rolling by me, they are rocking easily
I am older than I once was

and younger than I’ll be (but) that’s not unusual
            No, it isn’t strange
            After changes upon changes we are more or less the same
            After changes we are more or less the same

Lie la lie, lie la la la lie lie

Then I’m laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone

going home
Where the New York City winters aren’t bleeding me
            Leading me, going home

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders

of every glove that laid him down or cut him till he cried out
            In his anger and his shame
            “I am leaving, I am leaving” but the fighter still remains mmm mmm

Lie la lie, lie la la la lie lie


Simon & garfunkel – sound of silence                                           63

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
‘Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were 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 hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dare
Disturb the sound of silence

“Fools” said I, “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 out 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 sounds of silence

Sam Smith/Mary J. Blige – Stay with me                                 64

Guess it’s true, I’m not good at a one-night stand
But I still need love cause I’m just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don’t want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

[Sam Smith:]
Oh won’t you stay with me?
Cause you’re all I need
This ain’t love, it’s clear to see
But darling, stay with me

[Mary J. Blige:]
Why am I so emotional?
No it’s not a good look, gain some self control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn’t hurt

[Mary J. Blige:]
Oh won’t you stay with me?
Cause you’re all I need
This ain’t love, it’s clear to see
Oh won’t you stay with me?

[Sam Smith:]
Oh won’t you stay with me?
Cause you’re all I need
This ain’t love, it’s clear to see
But darling, stay with me

[Sam Smith (Mary J. Blige):]
Oh won’t you stay with me?
(Won’t you stay? Won’t you stay?)
Cause you’re all I need
This ain’t love, it’s clear to see
(This ain’t love, no, no, no)
But darling, stay

Side by side – Kay Starr                                                     65

Oh, we ain’t got a barrel of money,
Maybe we’re ragged and funny,
But we’ll travel along,
Singing a song,
Side by side.

Tho’ we don’t know
What’s coming tomorrow,
Maybe it’s trouble and sorrow,
But we’ll travel the road
Sharin’ our load,
Side by side.

Thru all kinds of weather,
What if the sky should fall,
Just as long as we’re together,
It really doesn’t matter at all,

When they’ve all had their quarrels and parted,
We’ll be the same as we started,
Just travelling along,
Singing a song,
Side by side.

Rod Stewart and Tina Turner – It Takes Two                               66

One can have a dream, baby
Two can make a dream so real
One can talk about being in love
Two can see how it really feels

One can wish upon a star
Two can make a wish come true, yeah
One can stand alone in the dark
Two can make a light shine through

chorus:
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
just me and you
You know it takes two

One can have a broken heart
living in misery
Two can really ease the pain
like a perfect remedy


One can be alone in a bar
like an island he’s all alone
Two can make just any place
seem just like bein’ at home

chorus 2 x             solo             chorus

One can go out to a movie
looking for a special treat
Two can make that single movie
something really kind of sweet


And one can take a walk in the moonlight
thinking that’s it’s really nice
But two lovers walking hand in hand
is like adding just a pinch of spice

chorus 2 xOh doo doo doo doo    a


James Taylor & Carly Simon – Close Your Eyes   67


Well the sun is surely sinking down
but the moon is slowly rising
So this old world must still be spinning around
and I still love you


chorus:
So close your eyes
you can close your eyes, it’s all right
I don’t know no love songs
and I can’t sing the blues any more
But I can sing this song
and you can sing this song when I’m gone


Well it won’t be long before another day
We’re gonna have a good time
And no one’s gonna take that time away
You can stay as long as you like

chorus

Umberto Tozzi/Raf – Gente di mare                                      68

A noi che siamo gente di pianura
navigatori esperti di citta’
il mare ci fa sempre un po’ paura
per quell’idea di troppa liberta’.

Eppure abbiamo il sale nei capelli
del mare abbiamo le profondita’
e donne infreddolite negli scialli
che aspettano che cosa non si sa.

Gente di mare che se ne va
dove gli pare dove non sa.
Gente che muore di nostalgia
ma quando torna dopo un giorno muore
per la voglia di andare via.

E quando ci fermiamo sulla riva
lo sguardo all’orizzonte se ne va
portandoci i pensieri alla deriva
per quell’idea di troppa liberta’.

Gente di mare che se ne va
dove gli pare dove non sa.
Gente corsara che non c’e’ piu’
gente lontana che porta nel cuore
questo grande fratello blu

Al di la’ del mare c’e’ qualcuno che
c’e’ qualcuno che non sa niente di te.

Gente di mare che se ne va
dove gli pare dove non sa.
Noi prigionieri in questa citta’
viviamo sempre di oggi e di ieri
inchiodati dalla realta’…
e la gente di mare va.

Gente di mare che se ne va
dove gli pare dove non sa.
Noi prigionieri in questa citta’
viviamo sempre di oggi e di ieri
inchiodati dalla realta’…
e la gente di mare va

UB40/Chrissie Hynde – I Got You Babe                                         71

They say we’re young and we don’t know
Won’t find out till we grow
Well I don’t know why that’s true
‘Cause you got me baby, I got you

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, babe.

They say our love won’t pay the rent
Before it’s earn’d our money’s always spent
I guess that’s so, we don’t have a lot
But at least I’m sure of all the things we got

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, babe.

I got flowers in the spring
I got you, to wear my ring


And when I’m sad, you’re a clown
And if I get scared you’re always around


So let they say your hair’s too long
I don’t care, with you I can’t go wrong
Then put your warm little hand in mine
There ain’t no hill or mountain we can’t climb

Babe, I got you babe, I got you babe,I got you babe

I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you I won’t let go
I got you to love me so


I got you, babe

Narada Michael Walden/Patti Austin – Gimme gimme gimme          72

On the road travelling
with my band, I was

so exhausted from one night stands
i caught your smile
you through me some heat
well i like your style
it was strong but stweet

I fell for you right then and there
I didn’t care who knew i follow you anywhere

gimme gimme gimme, all night long
gimme gimme gimme, keep playing that love song, that love song

Robbie Williams/Nicole Kidman – Something Stupid      73

I know I stand in line until you think

you have the time to spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance

I know that there’s a chance you won’t be leaving with me


            Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
            and have a drink or two
            And then I go and spoil it all

            by saying something stupid like I love you

I can see it in your eyes

that you despise the same old lines

you heard the night before
And though it’s just a line to you
For me it’s true and never seemed

so right before

I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I’ll wait until the evening gets late
And I’m alone with you


            The time is right, your perfume fills my head
            The stars get red and oh the night’s so blue
            And then I go and spoil it all
            By saying something stupid like I love you

solo


            The time is right, your perfume fills my head
            The stars get red and oh the night’s so blue
            And then I go and spoil it all
            By saying something stupid like I love you

I love you herhalen

Steve Winwood/Chaka Kahn – Higher love                         74

Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is wasted time
Look inside your heart, I’ll look inside mine

                        Things look so bad everywhere
                        In this whole world, what is fair?
                        We walk blind and we try to see
                        Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love  3x
Where’s that higher love I keep thinking of?

Worlds are turning and we’re just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning and it’s real to me
There must be someone who’s feeling for me

                        Things look so bad everywhere
                        In this whole world, what is fair?
                        We walk blind and we try to see
                        Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love  3x

I could rise above on a higher love

I will wait for it
I’m not too late for it
Until then, I’ll sing my song
To cheer the night along

solo

                        I could light the night up with my soul on fire
                        I could make the sun shine from pure desire
                        Let me feel that love come over me
                        Let me feel how strong it can be  

            Bring me a higher love  3x

I could rise above on a higher love

Within Temptation – Somewhere                                                75

Lost in the darkness

hoping for a sign
Instead there is only silence
Can’t you hear my screams?


Never stop hoping
Need to know where you are
But one thing is for sure
You’re always in my heart

chorus:
I’ll find you somewhere
I’ll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened
The truth will free my soul

Lost in the darkness

tried to find your way home
I want to embrace you

and never let you go


Almost hope you’re in heaven
so no one can hurt your soul
Living in agony

cause I just do not know  –   where you are

chorus

            Wherever you are

            I won’t stop searching
            Whatever it takes, I need to know   

Ooooh
