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.

Ik voel me eenzaam en verlaten maar ach daar kom ik overheen
Ik wil je graag weer in mijn armen ja jou heel dicht tegen me aan
En laat mijn hart door jou verwarmen laat ons toch door het leven gaan
Want zolang ik nog maar van je dromen kan voel ik die warmte om me heen
Zolang kan ik de hele wereld aan en voel ik me hier niet alleen
Zolang er nog een beetje liefde is dan weet ik dat geluk er altijd is
Ik laat mijn tranen echt niet praten een lach zegt duizend dingen meer
Want we leven nog altijd om te leven dat leer ik steeds weer keer op keer
Want zolang ik nog maar van je dromen kan voel ik die warmte om me heen
Zolang kan ik de hele wereld aan en voel ik me hier niet alleen
Zolang er nog een beetje liefde is dan weet ik dat geluk er altijd is
Zolang deel ik mijn leven lang alleen met jou
Want zolang ik nog maar van je dromen kan voel ik die warmte om me heen
Zolang kan ik de hele wereld aan en voel ik me hier niet alleen
Zolang er nog een beetje liefde is dan weet ik dat geluk er altijd is
Zolang deel ik mijn leven lang alleen met jou
Want zolang ik nog maar van je dromen kan voel ik die warmte om me heen
Zolang kan ik de hele wereld aan en voel ik me hier niet alleen
Zolang er nog een beetje liefde is dan weet ik dat geluk er altijd is
Zolang deel ik mijn leven lang alleen met jou
