Vraag Mij Niet Jou Te Vergeten
Frans Bauer Lyrics

waarom, laat jij mij hier zo achter
waarom, ik begrijp jou echt niet
waarom, kan jij niet even wachten
waarom, doe jij mij zo'n verdriet

refrain:
vraag mij niet jou te vergeten
zeg mij nu niet dat je gaat
waarom stap jij uit mijn leven
zijn wij voorgoed uitgepraat

vraag mij niet jou te vergeten
denk nog heel eventjes na

waarom, ben jij toch zo veranderd
waarom, nee ik ken jou niet terug
waarom, moet ineens alles anders
waarom, sla jij nu op de vlucht

refrain
refrain
denk nog heel eventjes na

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).

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.
