With love that's true I'll wait for you auf wiederseh'n sweetheart

OLD KALAHARI

(Danie Pretorius) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Ver in die Ou Kalahari daar sing die Boere so
Gee ons die Ou Kalahari die Ou Kalahari bo
In misty plains all around me the burning sun and sand
Lovely and peacful surroundings my old Kalahari land

Sonbesies sing in jou bosse die hittige son te versmaai
Rooi Afrikaner-osse sien jy om elke draai
Ver in die Ou Kalahari tot daar in die Molopo
Gee ons die Ou Kalahari die Ou Kalahari bo
[ guitar ] When I am called on safari by him whom I cannot deny
I pray that the old Kalahari will be part of that land in the sky

THERE'LL BE BLUEBIRDS OVER THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER

(Nat Burton - Walter Kent) « © '63 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP / Walter Kent Music, ASCAP »
There'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover tomorrow just you wait and see
There'll be love and laughter and peace ever after tomorrow when the world is free
Thy shepperd will then with sheep a valley will gloom again

Jimmy will go to sleep in his own little room again
There'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover tomorrow just you wait and see
[ choir ] And Jimmy will go to sleep...

TRUE

(Cindy Walker) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
It's true I know it's true I'm losing you and it's breaking my heart
It's true I know we're through there's someone new it just tears me apart
I don't know what I'll do without you I've loved you for so long
I've built my whole world around you and I just can't believe that you're gone
But it's true I know it's true my dreams are through and they'll never come true
[ trumpet ] I've built my whole world around you and I just can't believe that you're gone
But it's true I know it's true my dreams are through and they'll never come true

I'M CRYING AGAIN

(Gilbert Gibson) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Ja ek verlang na jou my liefling en ek droom van jou oe so blou
Ja ek dink net aan jou my liefling en my hart is'n mantel van rou
I gaze at the stars with a prayer in my heart
I ask for bitter strength just to hate and depart
Ja kom nou terug na my my liefling ek verlang na my liefling vanaand
[ guitar ] Toe jy my verlaat het is my wereld verskeur
Die son het ophou skyn en die maan het verkleur
So please come back to me my darling can't you see that I'm crying again

GUILTY

(Alex Zanetis) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've been accused convicted and condemned the trial's over and now I face the end
Is this your way of telling me we're through when all I'm guilty of is loving you
You were the judge the jury all in one you found me guilty and now my terms begun
I must confess I've never been untrue and all I'm guilty of is loving you
Loving you and now I'm losing you losing you for things I didn't do
Please let your heart consider and appeal for now you know exactly how I feel
Don't punish me for things I didn't do when all I'm guilty of is loving you
Yes all I'm guilty of is loving you

BLUE CANADIAN ROCKIES

(Cindy Walker) « © '50 Golden West Melodies, BMI »
In the Blue Canadian Rockies spring is sighing through the trees
And the golden pupies are blooming round the banks of Lake Luise

Across the see they call me and I'm lonesome and so blue
For the Blue Canadian Rockies and the girl I love so true
[ trumpet ] Spring is sighing through the trees
[ trumpet ] Round the banks of Lake Luise

Across the see they call me...

HAWAIIAN WEDDING SONG

(Al Hoffman - Dick Manning - Charles King) « © '58 Al Hoffman Songs, ASCAP / MCA Music, ASCAP »
This is the moment I've waited for
I can hear my heart singing soon bells will be ringing
This is the moment of sweet Aloha
I will love you longer than forever promise me that you will leave me never
Here and now dear all my love I vow dear
Promise me that you will leave me never I will love you longer than forever
Now that we are one clouds won't hide the sun
Blue skies of Hawaiian smile on this our wedding day
I do love you with all my heart

YOU ARE MY LOVE

(Jim Reeves - Cissie Cooper - Willie Cooper) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You are my darling there's no one but you
And to you I'll be true our whole life through
Heaven is smiling because you love me
It's as plain as can be you're my love

As the stars that shine there above you who loves you and needs you tonight
Will tell you it's I who loves you and I'm lonely when you're out of my side

You are my darling...

HEARTBREAK IN SILHOUETTE

(Peggy Ann Manson - Allen McCoy - Carey Fraley) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I listened to an old friend describe the girl he'd met
In memory I could see her heartbreak in Silhouette
He said her hair was golden her eyes were violet
It surely had to be her hearbreak in Silhouette
He said that when he kissed her her kisses were like wine
And suddenly I wondered if she'd break his heart like mine
But I sat there in silence and smoked my cigarette
His heart would soon discover heartbreak in Silhouette
With shining eyes he told me about the night they'd met
My own heart kept remembering heartbreak in Silhouette
Outside the rain kept falling recalling old regrets
Then she stood in the doorway heartbreak in Silhouette
At first she didn't see us because the lights were dim
As she chetted with her new love she had eyes for only him
My friend sat that there in silence and not one word was said
Two broken hearts were sharing heartbreak in Silhouette heartbreak in silhouette

TAHITI

(Jim Reeves - Willy Berking) « © '53 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Tahiti land of love o sweetest paradise where palms whisper softly to me
My hart verlang terug geluk wag op my daar aan haar wil ek my liefde openbaar
I remember oh so well when first we met the song of the palms I can't forget
Tahiti verre land o soetste paradys daar waar die palmbome saggies suis

GOLDEN MEMORIES AND SILVER TEARS

(Cindy Walker) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I dream of a golden moon and silver stars
When first we met and danced to sweet guitars
Music that breaks my heart bringing me dear golden memories and silver tears

Golden memories and silver tears are my lonely heart's suvenirs
All that you've left me are memories dear golden memories and silver tears
[ strings ] And now dear my golden moon pass and turn to blue
And all those silver stars are gone with you
Old memory of love bringing me pain oh how sad to love and love all in vain

Golden memories and silver tears...
