Already in his youth, Frans Bauer wanted to become a singer after he was inspired by Julio Iglesias, Elvis Presley and Koos Alberts (a Dutch singer). Bauer's own singing career started in 1987 when he recorded his first single, "Ben Je Jong" (Are You Young), under supervision of Dutch producers Rudi Schreijenberg and Emile Hartkamp.
In January 1992 he met his later wife-to-be, Mariska van Rossenberg. He was a local celebrity before rising to national fame due to the national television show "All You Need Is love" in early 1992, where he was to choose two female fans for a date. In 1994 he had his first national hit with "Als Sterren Aan De Hemel Staan". In 1997 he conquered Germany with his album "Weil Ich Dich Liebe".
Frans Bauer's fame kept growing to the point where he had his own reality show called "De Bauers", in which his daily life, including his family life, was followed. Bauer has also designed clothing for the Vroom & Dreesmann retail chain, based in The Netherlands.
He has won several awards and honours in The Netherlands, including a knighthood ("Ridder in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau") due to his charitable work and the "Gouden Televizier-Ring" for the reality show that has been running on Dutch television the year previously.
In 2006 he was struck by an infection on his vocal cords. He recovered after surgery.

Frans Bauer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maar er komt een dag, dat jij met mij lacht
Mijn dromen schreef op papier, door jou liet ik mij gaan
Zou jij ooit die wens van mij verstaan
Refrein:
Liefdesbrieven heb ik jou zo vaak geschreven
Maar een antwoord van jou kreeg ik niet
Waarom laat je mij alleen met mijn verdriet
Liefdesbrieven heb ik jou zo vaak geschreven
Maar beloof me verscheur ze nog maar niet
Want er komt een dag dat jij ze zult begrijpen
En dan krijg je spijt, omdat je mij achterliet
Er gaat voor mij geen dag voorbij, of ik denk hier aan jou
Ik wil bij jou zijn, heel dicht bij jou zijn
Veel maanden in onzekerheid, wanneer hoor ik iets van jou
Want wat ik voor jou voel, raak ik niet kwijt
Refrein
En dan krijg je spijt, omdat je mij achterliet
The lyrics of Frans Bauer's "Liefdesbrieven" (Love Letters) express the feeling of unrequited love and yearning for someone who seems to be unattainable. The singer begins by saying that they have known this person for a while, but they have never noticed or acknowledged them. The singer has expressed their desire for this person through heartfelt love letters, which have never received a response, leading to uncertainty whether they've ever been read. Despite the lack of response, the singer continues to hold onto hope that one day this person will understand the depth of their love and will come to regret leaving them behind.
The chorus emphasizes the desperation and longing of the singer. They plead with the recipient not to destroy the love letters, in the hope that someday the recipient will recognize their feelings and regret not reciprocating them. The singer continues to suffer emotionally from their unrequited love, thinking about this person every day and wishing they could be close to them. The uncertainty of the situation only adds to the pain they feel.
Overall, the song is a poignant portrayal of unrequited love, delving deep into the conflicting emotions of hope, longing, and despair that such a situation can bring.
