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 ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'T is dan net of heel de wereld naar mij lacht
Zie geen wolk aan de lucht al het grijs is gevlucht
Of zo'n dag voor een sprookje is bedaard
Alles wat ik aanpak lukt meteen
'T is alsof de zon voor mij nooit guller scheen
En de rede ben jij want jij bent er voor mij
Door jouw liefde ben ik nooit een dag alleen
Waar ik in leef zo'n beetje
En wie daarvoor zorgen kan ben jij
Zonder jou wordt het nooit in mijn leven nooit zo mooi
Maar jouw liefde maakt me elke dag weer blij
S'winters zijn de meeste dagen grauw
Ik zie vogels op de vlucht voor zoveel kou
En de wint gaat tekeer en het sneeuwt of hagelt weer
Tis zo'n tijd dat ik m'n wartme vind bij jou
Soms heb ik een heel apart gevoel
Maar geen mens begrijpt wat ik nu werkelijk voel
Dan wil ik heel alleen zonder doel ergens heen
Want mijn hart verraad wat ik hiermee bedoel
'T is net de zevende hemel weet je
Waar ik in leef zo'n beetje
En wie daarvoor zorgen kan ben jij
Zonder jou wordt het nooit in mijn leven nooit zo mooi
Maar jouw liefde maakt me elke dag weer blij
'T is net de zevende hemel weet je
Waar ik in leef zo'n beetje
En wie daarvoor zorgen kan ben jij
Zonder jou wordt het nooit in mijn leven nooit zo mooi
Maar jouw liefde maakt me elke dag weer blij
Zonder jou wordt het nooit in mijn leven nooit zo mooi
Maar jouw liefde maakt me elke dag weer blij

Soms heb ik zo'n weerga loze dag
Sometimes I have a day without any significance
'T is dan net of heel de wereld naar mij lacht
It's as if the whole world is laughing at me
Zie geen wolk aan de lucht al het grijs is gevlucht
I see no clouds in the sky, all the gray has disappeared
Of zo'n dag voor een sprookje is bedaard
Or as if a day has settled like a fairy tale
Alles wat ik aanpak lukt meteen
Everything I undertake succeeds immediately
'T is alsof de zon voor mij nooit guller scheen
It's as if the sun has never shone more generously for me
En de rede ben jij want jij bent er voor mij
And the reason is you because you are there for me
Door jouw liefde ben ik nooit een dag alleen
Because of your love, I am never alone for a day
'T is net de zevende hemel weet je
It's just like the seventh heaven, you know
Waar ik in leef zo'n beetje
Where I live, more or less
En wie daarvoor zorgen kan ben jij
And you are the one who can take care of that
Zonder jou wordt het nooit in mijn leven nooit zo mooi
Without you, my life will never be so beautiful
Maar jouw liefde maakt me elke dag weer blij
But your love makes me happy every day
S'winters zijn de meeste dagen grauw
In winter, most days are gloomy
Ik zie vogels op de vlucht voor zoveel kou
I see birds fleeing from so much cold
En de wind gaat tekeer en het sneeuwt of hagelt weer
And the wind rages, and it snows or hails again
Tis zo'n tijd dat ik m'n warmte vind bij jou
It's such a time when I find my warmth with you
Soms heb ik een heel apart gevoel
Sometimes I have a very peculiar feeling
Maar geen mens begrijpt wat ik nu werkelijk voel
But no one understands what I truly feel
Dan wil ik heel alleen zonder doel ergens heen
Then I want to go somewhere alone without a purpose
Want mijn hart verraadt wat ik hiermee bedoel
Because my heart reveals what I mean by this
Zonder jou wordt het nooit in mijn leven nooit zo mooi
Without you, my life will never be so beautiful
Maar jouw liefde maakt me elke dag weer blij
But your love makes me happy every day
Zonder jou wordt het nooit in mijn leven nooit zo mooi
Without you, my life will never be so beautiful
Maar jouw liefde maakt me elke dag weer blij
But your love makes me happy every day
