Kleve (historically known in English as Cleves, Clèves in French and Kleef in Dutch), is a town in the Lower Rhine region of northwestern Germany near the Dutch border and the River Rhine. From the 11th century onwards, Kleve was capital of a county and later a duchy. Today, Kleve is the capital of the district of Kleve in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Kleve consists of 14 subdivisions:
Bimmen, Brienen, Donsbrüggen, Düffelward, Griethausen, Keeken, Kellen, Materborn, Reichswalde, Rindern, Salmorth, Schenkenschanz, Warbeyen, Wardhausen.
Bimmen, church: Sankt Martinuskirche
Düffelward, church
Keeken, catholic church
Warbeyen, church: Sankt Hermeskirche
The name Kleve probably derives from the word cliff (German "Kliff"), referring to the promontory upon which the Schwanenburg was constructed. However, the city's coat of arms displays three clovers, (German "Klee") which is comparable to the pronunciation of Kleve in the Low Rhenish dialect and in Dutch, "Kleef". Interestingly, Kleve was spelled with a "c" throughout its history until spelling reforms introduced in the 1930s required that the name be spelled with a "k". As of 2008, the CDU announced ambitions to return the name to its original spelling.
Jocelyn Eve Stoker (born 11 April 1987), better known by her stage name Joss Stone, is an English soul singer-songwriter and actress. Stone rose to fame in late 2003 with her multi-platinum debut album, The Soul Sessions, which made the 2004 Mercury Prize shortlist. Her second album, the equally multiplatinum Mind Body & Soul, topped the UK Albums Chart for one week and spawned the top ten hit "You Had Me", Stone's most successful single on the UK Singles Chart to date. Both album and single each received one nomination at the 2005 Grammy Awards, while Stone herself was nominated for Best New Artist, and in an annual BBC poll of music critics, Sound of 2004 was ranked fifth as a predicted breakthrough act of 2004. She became the youngest British female singer to top the UK Albums Chart in history to have her first album at number one. In early 2009, she joined the eclectic supergroup SuperHeavy.
Anne of Cleves (German: Anna von Jülich-Kleve-Berg, Dutch: Anna van Kleef) (22 September 1515 – 16 July 1557) was a German noblewoman and the fourth wife of Henry VIII of England and as such she was Queen of England from 6 January 1540 to 9 July 1540. The marriage was never consummated, and she was not crowned queen consort. Following the annulment of their marriage, Anne was given a generous settlement by the King, and thereafter referred to as the King's Beloved Sister. She lived to see the coronation of Mary I of England, outlasting the rest of Henry's wives.
Anne was the subject of two portraits by Hans Holbein who painted her in 1539.
Anne was born in 1515 in Düsseldorf, the second daughter of John III of the House of La Marck, Duke of Jülich jure uxoris, Cleves, Berg jure uxoris, Count of Mark aka de la Marck and Ravensberg jure uxoris (often referred to as Duke of Cleves) who died in 1538, and his wife Maria, Duchess of Julich-Berg (1491–1543). She grew up living in Schloss Burg on the edge of Solingen. Anne's father was influenced by Erasmus and followed a moderate path within the Reformation. He sided with the Schmalkaldic League and opposed Emperor Charles V. After John's death, Anne's brother William became Duke of Jülich-Cleves-Berg, bearing the promising epithet "The Rich." In 1526, her elder sister Sybille was married to John Frederick, Elector of Saxony, head of the Protestant Confederation of Germany and considered the "Champion of the Reformation."
Catherine Howard (c. 1518–1524 – 13 February 1542), also spelled Katherine, Katheryn or Kathryn, was the fifth wife of Henry VIII of England, and sometimes known by his reference to her as his "rose without a thorn".
Catherine's date and place of birth are unknown, but are occasionally cited as 1521 or 1525, and in Wingate, County Durham. The new Oxford Dictionary of National Biography gives her date of birth as anywhere between 1518–1524. Catherine married Henry VIII on 28 July 1540, at Oatlands Palace, in Surrey, almost immediately after the annulment of his marriage to Anne of Cleves was arranged. However, she was beheaded after less than two years of marriage to Henry on the grounds of treason for committing adultery while married to the King. Catherine was the third of Henry's consorts to have been a commoner.
Catherine Howard was a child of Lord Edmund Howard and Joyce Culpeper. Catherine's exact date of birth is unknown, although the year has been estimated as being after 1520, but before 1527. She was the niece of Elizabeth Howard, who was the mother of Queen Anne Boleyn. Therefore Catherine Howard and Anne Boleyn were first cousins and Catherine Howard and Princess Elizabeth (later Elizabeth I) were first-cousins-once-removed.

He first joined Yes in 1971 to replace Tony Kaye, and left the group in 1974 to work on his solo career. He returned in 1976 before leaving with lead vocalist Jon Anderson in 1980. Wakeman was part of the side project Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, a group of ex-Yes members formed in 1989, and the eight-member Yes line-up that followed until his third departure in 1992. He returned for two years in 1995 and once more in 2002, where he was part of the band's 35th anniversary tour until its end in 2004.
Who the hell are you (who the hell do you think you are)
you're the one who said a girl would never come between
us (Well, she did)
What did I do to deserve this? Why did We let her Come
between us? (Jealous, huh?)
CHORUS
Ungrateful, disgraceful
Best freinds forever (Best Freinds)
Best Freinds Forever
Best Freinds Forever (AHH)
Best Freind Forever (I'M TIRED OF THIS)
What In The hell Did I DO? (Who the hell do you think you
are?)
I fell in love with her
we were so happy together
I left you in the cold
You left me here with this black eye (who the hell do you
think you are?)
Chourus x2
Who the hell are you
(Who the hell do you think you are)
What the hell did I do
Best Freinds Forever
(You said she'd never come between us, well she did...who
LEAVING FOR LOS ANGELES (Donelson)
Lets spend tonight (running from the break of dawn)
tommorrow I am leaving, for a new life thats waiting for
(so) Hold me close (never let go, dont you ever let go)
I need to feel you here beside me
only you can help me make it through the night.
CHORUS
Tommorrow I'll be gone
the highway stretches out forever
Im so alone (a thousand miles away from you)
Out of all the things we know , But just cant seem to say
This is the hardest thing to say to you
I've known you for so long, These feelings growing
stronger.
I know I gotta find a way to tell you (it's killing me)
CHORUS
Here i go again, tripping over the words i need to say
I know my will is wearing thin, Please dont run away
When I tell you, That I love you
I remember the night we met, I could never forget your
face
I walked you home after dark, No one else could take your
place
That was a year ago, Now I think you need to know
This thing I just cant say (These things I could never
say to you)
CHORUS
(I Cant Tell you) But I can play it for you
(I Cant Tell you) I wrote this song for you
(I Cant Tell you) But Im trying to show you
(I Cant Tell you) HOW MUCH I REALLY LOVE....YOU
For once in my life,
i dont care where its going
for once in my life, every day seems like a new
world is rising with the sun
and the future dont matter
as long as i spend it with you
For once in my life
I know where my heart is
It's lying in bed with you asleep
For once in my life
I dont hear all the voices
when they tell me that im falling
a little to fast and a little too deep well
I dont care if all of thats true
for once in my life
i am happy with you, beside me
Nothing can go wrong and the world can fall apart
around us, but i won't see
coz you're so beautiful to me, i love you
For once in my life
I can see how much you love me
when I look into your eyes
and it makes me realize
That for once in my life
everything is going right and
I thought I'd call and tell you this tonight
And I know that this love we have is true
for once in my life
i am happy with you, beside me
Nothing can go wrong and the world can fall apart
around us, but i won't see
coz you're so beautiful to me, Yeah
Beautiful to me, and I hope that you can see;
This relationship is so overrated (I dont know how long
I can Take it)
I remember why I hated having a Girlfreind ( I guess I
should be leaving you tonight)
What the hell is tearing us apart (I think I know, I
just cant tell you)
Who are they to tell us how to live (If I told you
would you run away?)
.....Here goes
(Chorus)
I know it hasnt been that long (I can't control my
feelings)
Just give me the chance to tell you (I hate to lose
you)
I love you, I love you, I love you (Are you happy now?)
Just take the time to soak it in (you're crying, is it
really that bad?)
It will take some time to understand ( Could you even
know what love is?)
You throw your arms around me, Whisper (I love you too,
I love you too)
I wanna hold you here forever
(Ill never leave you tonight)
(CHORUS)
Thats all I ever wanted , to hear 'i love you too'
please forgive my stalling, Ill make it up to you
Tonight is the beginning, of the rest of our lives
the moonlight glistening, tears of joy reflected in our
eyes
It's so cold out tonight (go on and take my sweater)
Just take your hand in mine
(baby, hold on forever)
Full moon glowing in your eyes
(I'm Getting Weaker)
Don't look back now, girl
(I have to tell you this)
CHORUS
Amanda, I never said this to anyone before
(It's getting too strong)
I just cant hide it anymore
Girl, Im falling in love (falling in love, falling in
love)
With you
The wind is blowing
(You shiver as I tell you the things i need to say)
Kinda like the night we met
(is that a tear in your eye?)
then you throw your arms around me and say
(I LOVE YOU TOO)
I Should'nt Have to say I'm sorry
For Falling in love with you
It shouldnt be a crime for praying
that one day you'd love me too
But if you wanna hear me say it
...I'm Sorry
Accuse me of the crime
....Im Guilty
CHORUS:
Im sorry, For everything i've done
I was hoping that I would be the one
I was so focused on love, that in the end
I wound up losing my one true freind
Im Sorry.....
I'm All burt out on tryin
cant you see me crying
love is blind, but i can see
I just want things back to the way they used to be
(CHORUS)
you turned on a light, when all the world seemed dim
When I needed Jesus, You led me unto him
I know you'll never love me, and i'll admit its tough
but i know now in the long run, your freindship was
enough
(Chorus)
I shouldnt have to say im sorry, for saying 'I love
you' today
But i notice that it hurts you
so I'll say it anyway
Oh my darling your so cold,
death reaches inside you, and touches your mortal soul
Seaching for a reason to go on, Knowing all to well your
will to live is gone
But Don't let go
just hold on.
Find an end to all your suffering, though your love has
done you wrong.
Dont Give up.
After making it so far, cos you know our fates are
written in the stars
in your eyes, still shine on thru the tears
two days ago he left you, but i've loved you for years
Let me show you, How a perfect love can be
Let me hold you. Put an end to all your misery, Oh girl,
Don't let go
just hold on.
Find an end to all your suffering, though your love has
done you wrong.
Dont Give up.
After making it so far, cos you know our fates are
We're well known in every honky tonk in town
Not a night goes by that we don't make the rounds
People wonder why we choose to live this way
Why don't they ever stay at home I hear them say
But home is where the hurt is
Cause love doesn't live there anymore
Home is where the hurt is
That's why we don't stay at home much anymore
What was once our happy home has come to be
A place to fuss and fight and disagree
Our lonely house with wall to wall regret
And these bright lights somehow help us to forget
Cause home is where the hurt is...
(He is...) Sixteen years old and on anti-depressants
Can't figure out where his childhood went
nothing in his life makes any sense
tired of trying , his time is spent.
He just sits in his rom, cuts his wrists in the dark
dreading every moment he's alive
meets his freind in the city park,
gives one hundred dollars for a .45
tonight is the night, theres no turning back
his emotions are dead, his heart has turned black
who couldve know it would come to this?
he writes one last letter to the ones who will miss him
Chorus
Mom and dad, Im sorry for everything i've put you
through
Now i'm gone, life should be easier on you
lock up my room, keep all my things in there
(you said) I deserved much better, But life isnt fair.
I had no will to live, now my life is through
Just remember this: Ill always love you.
His parents wake up, they heard a shot ring out
rushed up to his room, to see what its about
His dad turned away, he couldnt help but cry
his mom dropped to her knees, asking god why...........
They found the .45 , and the hole in his head
The police gave them a note, that he had nailed to his
It's been a long day
And I know it's not the same way it used to be
But I know that in your heart you're still in love with
so hold on.....
I hate everything
But the brightness that I see when I look in your eyes
The nature that you're blessed with that keeps me alive
.....just hang on
Coz were young
we're still leaning
And the fire
That keeps burning
Every single time
I look in your eyes
lets me know that
You're the one....
Hold On.....Hold On...
I had a plan
to leave this hell and move away forever
to indiana or wherever
but things change.....
Coz while im sleeping....
I see your there with me
and there's nowhere i'd rather be
than here by your side
Coz were young
we're still leaning
About the fire
That keeps burning
Every single time
I look in your eyes
It lets me know that
You're the one....
Hold On.....Hold On...
Sometimes it gets a little rough
to keep the faith when life gets tough
But you're here with me and thats enough
its not you, and its not me...baby its us....
so hold on........
Coz were young
we're still leaning
About the fire
That keeps burning
Every single time
I look in your eyes
It lets me know that
You're the one....
Hold On.....Hold on
