Lyrics 

Country is your way 

Lyrics - Leonard "Skaap" Schaafsma

Melody - Leonard "Skaap" Schaafsma

 

 

She puts on that blue jeans living the dream
Rides limousine
Small town girl making it big in the bright city lights
Daddy farms all day long working in the sun

Ploughing on and on, but she ain't coming back home soon

Chorus
Daddy phones her every day
My little girl are you ok
When will you see I taint the way you should live
But country is your way

Country is your way

 

Three years gone friends don't stay long
she feels that she’s all alone
She don't know were
she belongs

She cries all night long missing home
now she knows she was wrong

and the phone rings because

Chorus

She buy’s a bus ticket home
she calls her daddy on the phone and say
daddy I’m coming home today
with you is were I should stay

It took a while to see it ain't for me
 

Chorus

Cause Country is my way

Country is my way
Country is my way

 

Give me tonight 

Lyrics - Leonard "Skaap" Schaafsma

Melody - Leonard "Skaap" Schaafsma

 

 

I see you coming this way
I don't know what to do
Your eyes start to shine like the moon and baby
you take away the blues

You wanna dance and I smile
and say let's go now baby
this moonlight romance

Chorus

Give me tonight to love you
Give me a sign and I’ll show you
I’ll give you my heart so you dont ever let it go
Give me tonight to love you
Yea tonight

You whisper soft you light up the room
I dont want this night to end
there’s a shooting star
so make a wish quick now baby
mine will be you

 

Chorus x3

 

What I want 

Lyrics - Pauline Matthews

Melody -Pauline Matthews

 

 

You can take me home if you're ready for me

Just a few things though to make you see
I want my way if you wanna stay
Make sure you know before we go

I’ll explain it simple step by step for you
listen closely now and don't forget

 

Chorus

I like candles and caviar
I wanna play the main guitar
You have to act on what I say
I want breakfast in bed

 

I like candles and caviar
I wanna play the main guitar
You have to act on what I say
I want breakfast in bed

 

You can take me home was a lovely night
we did ok now would you say
now what you said about weddings its not for me
Cause if we wed you’d soon forget

You’ll  Explain it simple step by step for me
and this is what you’ll expect

 

Chorus

You’d want candles and caviar
you’d wanna play the main guitar
I’d have to act on what you say
you’d want breakfast in bed

 

I like candles and caviar
I wanna play the main guitar
You have to act on what I say
I want breakfast in bed

 

 


 

 

 

Love is on the go

Lyrics - Leonard "Skaap" Schaafsma

Melody - Leonard "Skaap" Schaafsma

 

I’m riding on a dusty road
Thinking about 
the day I met you

And I’m lighting up again
your eyes met mine in the nick of time
on a sunny afternoon
and you looked at me and now I know
Love is on the go

 

Walked up to you with a heart so true
and you smiled back at me
and it made me believe
You're a country king in 
a fairytale
next to a bale of hay
and all I can say is now I know love is on the go

Chorus

So when it's moving a little slow
pick up the pass and watch it all go
love is a feeling I wanna know and tonight
yea its right love is on the go

I ‘ll be loving you all night through
in the moonlight shining on your face
love your sweet taste now I know
love is on the go

Chorus x3

 

Gasoline and Matches

Lyrics - Julie Anne Miller, Buddy Miller, Steven P. Miller

Melody - Julie Anne Miller, Buddy Miller, Steven P. Miller

 

Baby, baby, baby, baby, listen what I say
Baby, baby, baby, baby, let me have my way
I'm gonna keep on knockin' till the door unlatches
You and me are gasoline and matches

Baby, baby, baby, baby, when it's cold and dark
Baby, baby, baby, baby, you make me feel a spark
Well I feel a spark and the fire catches
You and me are gasoline and matches

You pull my pin and you trip my wire
Yeah well you come in and set my heart on fire
You knock me out, you rock me off my axis
You and me are gasoline and matches

Baby, baby, baby, baby, when you make your move
Baby, baby, baby, baby, I can feel your groove
The resistance of a strong willed man's in ashes
You and me are gasoline and matches

Oh you pull my pin and you trip my wire
Yeah well you come in and set my heart on fire
You knock me out, you rock me off my axis
You and me – You and me

Baby I'm incarcerated and I don't want out
Baby we should get related
‘cause there ain't no doubt
Yeah but when your heart and my heart attaches
You and me are Gasoline and Matches
You and me are Gasoline and Matches
You and me, yeah

Well you pull my pin and then you trip my wire
You come on in you come on in
And set my heart on fire
You knock me out, knock me out,
knock me off of my axis
You and me, you and me we’re
Gasoline and matches
Gonna knock knock knock knock
until the door unlatches
You and
me are gasoline and matches

 

When she dreams

Lyrics - Pauline Matthews

Melody -Pauline Matthews

 

 

When she dreams

On a leather couch in a double story house
a busy City with french cafe’s
But her mind wonders off
She closes her eyes and suddenly she’s gone
and then she dreams

 

In a little town familiar folks
Jim still owns the grocery store
in a small bush bar there’s a country show
That's where she goes when she Dreams

 

Chorus
 

When she dreams
she’s got her boots on
When she dreams
She takes back the freedom that she used to know
When she dreams
all her yesterdays becomes today
It's a fantasy in her reality
It's where she goes when she dreams

 

Childen free Cattle in the field
a fresh baked pie in the windowsill
Checkered curtains in the dusty wind
That’s where she goes when she dreams

 

Chorus x2
 

 

Piece of my heart

Lyrics - Leonard "Skaap" Schaafsma

Melody - Leonard "Skaap" Schaafsma

 

 

This old town left a mark on me
made a scar on my heart
You went away I couldn't believe
now we are miles apart
there’s a dust storm in my way
I couldn't reach why couldn't you stay

 

Chorus
 

You took a little piece of my heart with you
baby why did you go
left me right here on broken street
Your wheels turned away so slow
sometimes it feels like it's to hard to breath
baby why couldn't you stay , stay here with me

 

This old town just ain't the same
after all that’s gone down
I still remember all of the times
but now this house ain't a home
and the wind won't go away

baby I’m coming back I need you today

 

Chorus x3



 

 

Lost City Girl 

Lyrics - Louise Leander 

Melody - Louise Leander 

 

 

Lost city girl
in a distance I saw a girl walking down the road
just a shadow in the dying night fighting the cold
the shoes she wore was just the soles of her feet
a face without a name lost in the street
and I wonder yes I wonder where is the place she calls home

 

Chorus

Lost city girl where do you come from
Is someone waiting for you
where do you keep your pillow at night
where is your safety and warmth
for you don't seem like you belong here
this place is not your home
Lost city girl where do you come from
is anyone looking for you
you don't seem like you belong here
where is the place called home

 

Just a young girl with not enough sunshine in her eyes
hanging shoulders the weight of yesterday's lies
the clothes she wore was rags from head to toes
a young soul sadness won't let go and I wonder
Yes I wonder where is the place she calls home

Chorus



 

 

Saints and Sinners

Lyrics - Ronel Holtshauzen

Melody -Chrissie Rossouw

 

 

Pretend tomorrow does not matter
and Yesterday never died
hold today like an old paper bag
forgetting you could never have it back

Tell me I can never reach the sky
Judging you judging me
cry me a river cry me a lake
and tell me no more of your lies

 

Chorus


every saint has a past
every sinner a future
every dream has a reason
every 
heartache a name
tell me who’s to blame
 

saints sinner or the dreamers without names

make no promises Just hold me one more time
and love me in the darkness of the night
before today dies in the arms of yesterday

 

Pretend that it’s just now
forgetting the sins of the saints
and the prayers of the sinners

among us loving like this would be your last time

 

Chorus

Every bag lady was once someone's loving daughter
every drunk someone’s heart
even tarnished hearts once were bright
and even blind men can look at you in love

 

Chorus x2

 

 



 

 

The Fool 

Lyrics - Lee Hazlewood, Naomi Ford

Melody -Lee Hazlewood, Naomi Ford

 

You don't know me but I know who you are
Mind if I sit down
Do I look familiar if I don't well I should
I'm sure you've seen me around
I know you've probably heard my name
Though we've not been introduced
I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

If you've got a minute I'll buy you a drink
I've got something to say
It might sound crazy but last night in his sleep
I heard him call out your name
This ain't the first time he's done it before
And it's hard to face the truth
I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

I know love is a fragile thing
And I'm trying hard to make it last
But it ain't easy holding on to my dream
When he's holding on to the past

Just one more thing before I go
I'm not here to put you down
You don't love him and that's a fact

Girl I've seen you around
But you hold his heart in the palm of your hand
And it's breaking mine in two
'Cause I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

 

 

 



 

 

Try

Lyrics - Leonard "Skaap" Schaafsma

Melody - Leonard "Skaap" Schaafsma

 


You may be down but you're never out
just stand up its what it's all about
you're here to win it's your game
nothing’s gonna change if you don't try

 

Chorus
come and take a try to reach your sky
you gotta walk first before you can fly
fight a little man before you wave goodbye
you’ve got to try, you’ve got to try

Take it all the blood and the tears
just stay up and face your fears
You got the heart and the soul
use your pride to reach your goal

 

Chorus

 

Tries has a price
everybody be alright
no matter what size it is
it is worth the fight

 

Chorus x2

Happy birthday my darling,

And many many more

Another year had passed

I love you even more

Your eyes I love to see

Your lips I love to kiss

Tomorrow starts a new year

and memories put away

I want to say I love you

The gift I have for you

is the promise to be true

to love you through the years

and never ever bring you tears

 

Tomorrow starts a new year

Lyrics - Chrissie Rossouw

Koor

Amandel rooi bloos bloeisels al te mooi

dis hemels blou mamma die liedjie vir jou

'n skitter wit lig na jou arms sal ek vlug

amandel rooi met liefde sal ek jou strooi

 

Daar’s 'n fluister van liefde

met alles wat sy sê en wat sy doen

alles wat sy vir my wil hê

Lyrics - Chrissie Rossouw

Melody - Chrissie Rossouw 


Koor

Ek ruik die geur van rose

As jy glimlag

ʼn titsel roosmaryn as jy huil

Ek ruik die geur van rose

As jy se jy’s lief vir my

ʼn titsel dou Want ek hou ek hou van jou

 

Wanneer die liefde jou tref Is die lewe ʼn blomtuin

Gevul met gesiggies vol liefde Rose vol geur

Behou dit waardeer dit Wanneer dit met jou gebeur

So stap ons deur die ons blomtuin Ons liefdes spore mee

 

Koor

 

Soos die soete dou op die blare Op ʼn kraakvars somers more

Val jou woorde van verleiding Op gewillige ore

So stap ons deur ons blomtuin Ons liefdes spore mee

Behou dit waardeer dit Wanneer dit met jou gebeur

 

Koor
 

 

Jou lêplek

Lyrics - Chrissie Rossouw

Melody - Chrissie Rossouw 


Aangename kennis

bly om te ontmoet

was van korte duur

toe gevoelens begin woed

Die Ja woord is gevra,

Die datum vasgepen

Jou van is wat ek dra,

My liefde is gewen

 

Koor

 

Liefie lief engel my vlooi

gogga bok, skapie my ding

Pikkewyn, varkie jy's my bek

Hier langs my in die kooi

Ja dis jou lêplek

 

Een en een gee vier

hy lyk net soos jy,

sy lyk net soos ek

Dit kom mos maar van vry

Die tyd stap aan

hul is die wêreld in

Die huis is nou so stil

Opnuut weer jou gevindKoor

 

Koor x2

 

Die ou stofpad

Lyrics - Chrissie Rossouw

Melody - Chrissie Rossouw 

 

Koor

 

Opdraand

afdraand

Op ʼn drafstap

Op ʼn grondpad

Stofpad na jou hart

Kortpad

langpad

Op ʼn drafstap

Op ʼn grondpad

Stofpad na jou hart

 

Ons het as kinders die pad gestap

Skool toe en terug

Gelag en gesels soos dit maats betaam

Ons was altyd saam

 

Nou is ek weg na ʼn vere plek

Verlang ek nou terug

Weg met die gehaas

die stad se geraas

Ek soek die plaas

 

½ Koor

jodel

 

Wag jy vir my op ons ou stofpad

Van aangeleë

Hier wil ek bly

jy saam met my

Dis die lewe vir my

 

Nou stap ons saam op die ou stofpad

Net ons twee saam

Lag en gesels soos dit ʼn paartjie betaam

Op ons stofpad saam

Will you still be there

Lyrics - Chrissie Rossouw

Melody - Chrissie Rossouw 

 

You say u love me and that u need me 
Like a bee needs honey tree
But as the years pass and the kids are grown 
Will you still be a part of me 
Or will I be on my own 

 

Chorus 
Darling tell me 
When I'm old grey will you still be here 
Will you still stay here next to me 
Darling tell me 
When my eyes can't see and my legs are week 
Will you still be here next to me 

 

The best years of me  I gave to you 
Baby all my best I invest in you 
But as the years go by and we’ve grown old 
Will you still feel the need to be 
The biggest part of me 

 

Repeat chorus 

 

In sickness and health I'll care for you 
I’ll be there for you like u for me 
Even as the years pass and the end may be near
You will always be a part of me 
I’ll never leave you on your own

 

Repeat chorus till end 
 

 

Follow the light 

Lyrics - Chrissie Rossouw

Melody - Chrissie Rossouw 

 

There’s a star that shines from the east

Conveying our love that sparkles in the dark night

We’ve come a long way baby

And a long journey still ahead

All I ask is follow that light

 

Chorus

Follow the light Out of the darkness

It feels so right It’s our love that sparkles

Follow that star No matter how far

Our love will stand the test of time

 

It’s the love we feel that makes us one baby

Two halves baby makes a perfect whole 

It’s a haze around us baby

A never ending blinding light

All I ask is follow that light

 

Chorus x2

 

Pappa se meisiekind 

Lyrics - Chrissie Rossouw

Melody - Chrissie Rossouw 

 

Pappa die jare was goed vir my 
met al die groot word pyne 
en pa se liefde hier aan my sy
as ek val en seerkry 
het pa met 'n soen als reg gekry
deur die jare my ook maar groot gekry

 

Koor


Al skyn die jare in ons oë,

bly ek nog pa se blommekind, pa se meisiekind
ek het pa nog nodig om die seer te keer
nog pa se blommekind, pa se meisiekind
soms nog pa se kleine kaalvoet kind

 

Pappa het soms ook maar met my baklei
om stout te wees het ek tog maar so goed reg gekry
met ons fietse het ons die bulte van die lewe uitgery
soms afgeval en soms ook maar seer gekry

 

Koor x3
 

 

Sonder jou 

Lyrics - Chrissie Rossouw

Melody - Chrissie Rossouw 

 

Die gedagte van ons saamwees

Soos spoke op ʼn ou verlate pad

Jou woorde ego nog deur

ʼn Gebroke hart se smart

 

Jou spore het diep slote

Hier deur my hart getrap

Daar’s ʼn huil hier in my wese

Ons het die pad gestap

 

Koor

 

Ek is daar waar geen droom my kan red nie

Daar waar geen hoop my kan vind nie

Daar waar geen siel dit kan hou nie

Sonder jou sonder jou

 

Jy loop hier in my kop

soos ʼn kraan wat ek nie meer

kan toedraai nie

Daar’s ʼn deur wat oopgesluit is

Wat ek nie meer kan toesluit nie

 

Jy’s die sout in my trane

Die brand hier in my oë

Daar’s ʼn wig hier in my ek wees

Hoe het ek jou verloor

 

Koor

 

Why

Lyrics - Chrissie Rossouw

Melody - Chrissie Rossouw 

 

As you walk on by 
I wink my eye
When you say goodbye 
A tear I'll surely cry 
Our love a whisper a sigh 
But tell me tell m
e tell me why 

 

Chorus 
Why does the sun set when you're gone 
Why does the blue sky turn to grey 
When you're gone 
When you go 
When you go away 

 

Your ring I'll wear 
Your child I'll bear 
I’ll cherish you only 
I'll be true to you 
Like leaves on a tree 
Take care take care take care of me 

 

Repeat chorus

Ouma se rocking chair

Lyrics - Chrissie Rossouw

Melody - Chrissie Rossouw 

 

 

Die vertrek is so leeg 
net vol memories 
memories van ouma se arms om my 

 

Sy’t altyd getroos 
as ʼn traan wou loop 
sy’t vasgehou en omgegee 
in haar rocking chair 

 

Koor 
 

Ouma ek mis jou

wil graag my arms om my voel  
in daardie mooi stoel

dis al wat ek onthou 
ouma se rocking chair

dis al wat ek het 
ouma se memories

en my rocking chair 
ouma se memories

en my rocking chair 

 

hou my tog vas

tog net weer ‘n keer 
weer ʼn 
keer in ouma se rocking chair 
 

troos my tog weer

hier waar ek sit 
alleen in ouma se rocking chair 

 

Koor 
 

 

 

I don't wanna fight

Lyrics - Chrissie Rossouw

Melody - Chrissie Rossouw 

 

 

Even though time has past

Our love has still survived

The trust still in your eyes

Love like this never dies

 

We have been together years

Shared our hopes and shared our fears

Even though I love you dear

Our quarrels still bring me to tears

 

Chorus

 

Baby I don’t want to fight

It leaves a mark it leaves a scar

Baby I don’t want to cry

Let's talk let's talk it out

Baby I don’t want to fight

It makes a hole in my heart

To see our love fall apart

Before we doubt

let's talk it out

Sometimes you're wrong

sometimes your right

Baby i don’t want to fight

 

Life brings joy laughter and tears

Even to those you hold so dear

But like life we should go on

Be my shoulder to cry on

 

Chorus
