Elvis Presley Songs ( I - P )

I

I Beg Of You

I don't want my heart to be broken

Cause it's the only one I've got

So darling please be careful

You know I care a lot

Darling please don't break my heart

I beg of you



I don't want no tears a-falling

You know I hate to cry

But that's what's bound to happen

I you only say goodbye

Darling please don't say goodbye

I beg of you



Hold my hand and promise

That you'll always love me true

Make me know you'll love me

The same way I love you little girl



You got me at your mercy

Now that I'm in love with you

So please don't take advantage

Cause you know my love is true

Darling please please love me too

I beg of you



Hold my hand and promise

That you'll always love me true

Make me know you'll love me

The same way I love you little girl



You got me at your mercy

Now that I'm in love with you

So please don't take advantage

Cause you know my love is true

Darling please please love me too

I beg of you

I Believe

I believe for every drop of rain that falls

A flower grows

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night

A candle glows

I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come

To show the way

I believe, I believe



I believe above a storm the smallest prayer

Can still be heard

I believe that someone in the great somewhere

Hears every word



Everytime I hear a new born baby cry,

Or touch a leaf or see the sky

Then I know why, I believe



Everytime I hear a new born baby cry,

Or touch a leaf or see the sky

Then I know why, I believe

I Believe In The Man In The Sky

The steps that lead to any church

Form a stairway to a star

They're part of God and should be trod

More often than they are



I believe in the man in the sky

I believe with his help I’ll get by

My footsteps may falter

My eyes may grow dim

But he's my Gibraltar

I'm trusting in him



Though a sparrow is all I may be

On me he will still keep an eye

Yes I’m singing his praise

Till the end of my days

I believe in the man in the sky



Sparrow, sparrow am I

Keep an eye

Yes I’m singing his praise

Till the end of my days

I believe in the man in the sky

I Can Help

If you've got a problem, I don't care what it is

If you need a hand, I can assure you this

I can help, I've got two strong arms, I can help

It would sure do me good to do you good,

Let me help



It's a fact that people get lonely, ain't nothing new

But a woman like you baby, should never have the blues

Let me help, I've got two for me, let me help

It would sure do me good to do you good

Let me help



When I go to sleep at night, you're always a part of my dream

Holding me tight and telling me everything I want to hear

Don't forget me baby, all you gotta do is call

You know how I feel about you, if I can do anything at all

Let me help



If your child needs a daddy, I can help

It would sure do me good to do you good,

Let me help

I Can't Help It

Today I passed you on the street

And my heart was at your feet

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you



Somebody else stood by your side

And he looked so satisfied

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you



A memory from the past came slowly stealing

As I braced your arm and walked so close to you (yeah)

Oh heaven only knows how much I miss you

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you



Written by Hank Williams

I Can't Stop Loving You

I can't stop loving you

So I've made up my mind

To live in memory

Of such an old lonesome time



I can't stop wanting you

It's useless to say

So I'll just live my life

In dreams of yesterday.



Those happy hours

That we once knew

Though long ago,

They still make me blue



They say that time

Heals a broken heart

But time has stood still

Since we've been apart

I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine

Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine.

I get my lovin' in the evening time

When I'm with my baby.



Well, it ain't no fun with the sun around.

I get going when the sun goes down

And I'm with my baby.



Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss,

And we're gonna kiss some more.

Who cares how many times we kiss,

'Cause at a time like this, who keeps score?



Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine

I get my loving in the evening time

When I meet my baby.



And it don't matter if it's sleet or snow,

The drive-in's cozy when the lights are low

And I'm with my baby.



Makes no difference if the rain comes down

I don't notice when she's around.

Oh boy, what a baby.



Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss

and

We're gonna kiss some more.

Well, one kiss from my baby doll

Makes me hot-

More more more more.



Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine

I get my loving in the evening time

When I'm with my baby.

I Don't Wanna Be Tied

I want my share of love, it might as well be known

But I ain't thinking of one girl to love alone

That ain't the way it's gonna be, I'm on my own and I am free

And I've been satisfied, so I don't wanna be tied



Somebody's loving arms can sure be sweet I've found

But I want no-one's arms to ever hold me down

Once I get caught inside a net I'm gonna run I bet

I'm gonna run and hide, I don't wanna be tied



I've seen lovers who were matched, they thought that love could stay

Once they cared and got attached, it seems that love just slipped away

Don't want no claims on me,

don't want no chains that bind

As anyone could see

I say what's on my mind

Well there ain't nothing I conceal, I'm gonna play the field

The field of love is wide ,



I don't wanna be tied

The field of love is wide,

I don't wanna be tied

The field of love is wide,

I don't wanna be tied

I said I don't, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be tied

I Don't Want To

I don't want to, I don't want to

I don't want to let you know how much I want you

Don't come near me, I don't trust you

I don't trust the way you thrill me when I touch you



I was happy free and easy, I could go around

And do the things that please me

I don't want to get tied down with a girl like you

I don't want to ... love you, but I do



I was happy free and easy, I could go around

And do the things that please me

I don't want to get tied down with a girl like you

I don't want to ... love you, but I do

I don't want to love you, but I do

I Feel So Bad

Feel so bad

Like a ball game on a rainy day

Feel so bad

Like a ball game on a rainy day

Yes' I got my rain check

Shake my head and walk away



Oooo-people that's the way I feel

Oooo-people that's the way I feel

Sometimes I think I want

Then again I think I don't

Sometimes I want to stay here

Then again I want to leave here

Then again I want to stay

Yes, I got my train fare

Pack my grip and ride away



Oooo-people that's the way I feel

Oooo-people that's the way I feel

Sometimes I think I want

Then again I think I don't

I Feel That I've Known You Forever

Your lips, your eyes, your soft sweet sights

I feel that I've known you forever

Your style, your touch, you're just too much

I feel that I've known you forever



I know that this never happened to me

Don't have to see anymore than I see

Your face so rare, beyond compare

I feel that I've known you forever

And ever and ever

If Every Day Was Christmas

I hear the bells

Saying Christmas is near

They ring out to tell the world

That this is the season of cheer



I hear a choir

Singing sweetly somewhere

And a glow fills my heart

I'm at peace with the world

As the sound of their singing fills the air



Oh why can't every day be like Christmas

Why can't that feeling go on endlessly


For if everyday could be just like Christmas

What a wonderful world this would be



I hear a child

Telling Santa what to bring

And the smile upon his tiny face

Is worth more to me than anything



Written by Red West

If I Can Dream

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere

Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue

If I can dream of a better land

Where all my brothers walk hand in hand

Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true



There must be peace and understanding sometime

Strong winds of promise that will blow away

All the doubt and fear

If I can dream of a warmer sun

Where hope keeps shining on everyone

Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear



We're lost in a cloud

With too much rain

We're trapped in a world

That's troubled with pain

But as long as a man

Has the strength to dream

He can redeem his soul and fly



Deep in my heart there's a trembling question

Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow

Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle

And while I can think, while I can talk

While I can stand, while I can walk

While I can dream, please let my dream

Come true, right now

Let it come true right now

Oh yeah

If I Get Home On Christmas Day

If I get home on Christmas day

I won't need soft words to say

I'll miss you and I can stay a while

You'll see it in my eyes and when I smile



If I get home before midnight

While you're still sleeping tight

I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay

If I get home on Christmas day



Writing letters everyday

Never really seem to say

The way I feel deep in this heart of mine

Thought I'm half a world away

If we're patient and we pray

Know I'll get my chance with you this time



If I get home on Christmas day

I won't need soft words to say

I'll miss you and I can stay a while

You'll see it in my eyes and when I smile



If I get home before midnight

While you're still sleeping tight

I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay

If I get home on Christmas day

I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay

If I get home on Christmas day

If I Loved You

If I loved you

Words wouldn't come in an easy way

Round in circles I'd go

Only to tell you

But afraid and shy

I let my golden chances pass me by



Soon you'll leave me

Ought (?) you would go in a misty day

Never, never let you know

I love you eternally

If I'm A Fool

If I'm a fool for loving you then that's just what I want to be

They're saying I am just your clown and any fool could see

That you're just having fun and you're not in love with me

The things they're saying may be true, but there's something they can't see

If I'm a fool for loving you then that's just what I want to be



If I'm a dreamer, let me dream. If I'm your clown I'll steal the show

If things are not the way they seem, please don't ever let me know

If I am blind it's because I just don't want to see

If I'm a fool for loving you then that's just what I want to be



If I'm a dreamer, let me dream. If I'm your clown I'll steal the show

If things are not the way they seem, please don't ever let me know

If I am blind it's because I just don't want to see

If I'm a fool for loving you then that's just what I want to be

If I'm a fool for loving you then that's just what I want to be

If I Were You

The sandman comes to my house late each night

But it's way in the morning before he turns out my life

It's times like this my darling I can see

If I were you I'd know that I love me



The great snowman I've been called by all

But it looks like this time I'm gonna fall

It's times like this my darling I can see

Oooh If I were you I'd know that I love me



Wind and rain and storm closin' in on me

I've walked the streets alone with my self sympathy

Can you hear me saying hopefully

Oooh If I were you I'd know that I love me



Wind and rain and storm closin' in on me

I've walked the streets alone with my self sympathy

Can you hear me saying hopefully

If I were you I'd know that I love me

Oooh If I were you I'd know that I love me

If I were you I'd know that I love me

I Forgot To Remember To Forget

I forgot to remember to forget her,

I can't seem to get her off my mind.

I thought I'd never miss her,

But I found out somehow

I think about her almost all the time.

The day she went away

I made myself a promise

That I'd soon forget we ever met.

But something sure is wrong,

'Cause I'm so blue and lonely.

I forgot to remember to forget.



The day she went away

Written by Dottie Rambo

He left the splendor of heaven

Knowing His destiny

Was the lonely hill of Golgotha

There to lay down His life for me



And if that isn't love

Then the ocean is dry

There's no stars in the sky

And the little sparrows can't fly

Yeah if that isn't love

Then heaven's a myth

There's no feeling like this

If that isn't love



Even in death He remembered

The thief hanging by His side

Then he spoke of love and compassion

And He took him to paradise



And if that isn't love

Then the ocean is dry

There's no stars in the sky

And the little sparrows can't fly

Yeah if that isn't love

Then heaven's a myth

There's no feeling like this

If that isn't love It's got to be love

If The Lord Wasn't Walking By My Side

I don't know just what I’d do

If the Lord wasn't walking by my side

When I was drifting (when I was drifting on the sea of a despair)

and I was wandering (I was wandering if Jehovah's up there)

When Jesus found me,(Jesus found me in my sinful life)

he heard me praying (he heard me praying on my knees at night)

Now I’m singing (Now I'm singing this happy song)

because I’m happy (because I'm happy as I go along)

And I don't know (I don't know) just what I’d do

If the Lord wasn't walking by my side

What would I do, (What would I do when a tear fills my eyes)

what would I do (What would I do when it's my time to die)

Well I’d be lonely, discouraged

Burdened on the way

If the Lord wasn't walking by my side every day



I’d be so friendless (I'd be friendless all alone and blue)

and I'd be helpless (I'd be helpless, wouldn't know what to do)

And I don't know (I don't know) just what I’d do

If the Lord wasn't walking by my side



(What would I do) What would I do when the tears fill my eyes

(What would I do) What would I do when it's my time to die

(I'd be lonely, discouraged, burdened on the way)

If the Lord wasn't walking by my side every day



I’d be so friendless, (I'd be friendless all alone and blue)

I'd be so helpless (I'd be helpless, wouldn't know what to do)

And I don't know (I don't know) just what I’d do

If the Lord wasn't walking by my side every day



If the Lord (wasn't walking) wasn't walking by my side

(wasn't walking by my side)

If We Never Meet Again

Soon we'll come to the end of life's journey

And perhaps never meet anymore

Till we gather in heaven's bright city

Far away on that beautiful shore



If we never meet again this side of heaven

As we struggle through this world and its strife

There's another meeting place somewhere in heaven

By the side of the river of life



Where the charming roses bloom forever

And where separations come no more

If we never meet again this side of heaven

I will meet you on that beautiful shore

If You Don't Come Back

Well the car was gone and you were gone

And I almost lost my mind.

If you don't come back (If you don't come back)

Yeah! if you don't come back today (If you don't come back today)

You can call up the people at the crazy house

And take this crazy man away



(He threw himself off a gas stone wall)

(He tore his clothes out the door)

I ran out on the street in my stockinged feet

Tell the police I've been robbed

If you don't come back (If you don't come back)

Mmm if you don't come back today (If you don't come back today)

Well you can call up the people at the crazy house

And take this crazy man away



Mrs. Brown's been talking about me

To the people across the street

She said (said (I cooked that boy a pot full of stew,

But the poor thing just won't eat).)



If you don't come back (If you don't come back)

Yeah! If you don't come back today (If you don't come back today)

You can call up the people at the crazy house

And take this crazy man away

If You Love Me

You came when I was happy in your sunshine

I grew to love you more each passing day

Before too long I’d filled my world around you

Yeah and I prayed you loved enough of me to stay



If you love me let me know

If you don't let me go

I can't take another minute of the day without you near

If you love me let it be

If you don't set me free

Take the chains away that keep me loving you



The arms that open wide to hold me closer

The hands that run their fingers through my hair

The smile that says hello it's good to see you

Any time I turn around and find you there



It's this and so much more that makes me love you

What else can I do to make you see

You know you'll have whatever's mine to give you

Yeah but a love affair for one it can never be



If you love me let me know

If you don't let me go

I can't take another minute of the day without you near

If you love me let it be

If you don't set me free

Take the chains away that keep me loving you



Take the chains away that keep me loving you

If You Talk In Your Sleep

I know you're a lonely woman and I love you

But someone else is waiting and he owns you

If he should ever wake up, make sure that your story is straight love

If you talk in your sleep don't mention my name

And if you walk in your sleep forget where you came



Walking every night here in the shadows

So afraid that sometime he may follow

There's always the chance he'll find us

I don't need to remind you

If you talk in your sleep don't mention my name

If you walk in your sleep forget where you came



Love is so much sweeter when it's borrowed

I'll feel a little easier tomorrow

Don't give our secret away, be careful what you say

If you talk in your sleep don't mention my name

If you walk in your sleep forget where you came



Forget where you came, now

Forget where you came

Don't mention my name

Don't mention my name

Forget where you came

If You Think I Don't Need You

If you think I don't need you

Then take a look in my eyes

Maybe these ain't raindrops

Falling out of the sky

Since you been gone

I've been so alone

If you think I don't need you

Then baby you're wrong



If you think I don't love you

What could I do to prove to you baby

My love is true

I sing the same old song

Since you've been gone

If you think I don't love you

Then baby you're wrong



My life ain't been the same since you left me

I ain't had a wink of sleep in seven days

I don't know what to do I'm going crazy

I just walk the floor at night and call your name



If you think I don't do right

I'll change my ways

I'll do like you want me to, I'll be your slave

Since you been gone

I've been so alone

If you think I don't need you

Well baby you're wrong

I Got A Feelin' In My Body

Said now don't you worry, we're in the Lord's hands

I Got Lucky

Never found a four leaf clover to bring good luck to me

No rabbit's foot no lucky star no magic wishing tree

But I got lucky, yes I got lucky

When I found you, oh yeah!



Got no rainbow around my shoulder, no horseshoe on my door

But I got you to hold me tight and who could ask for more

Oh I got lucky, yes I got lucky

When I found you,



I always walk around with all my fingers crossed

I'm afraid the love I found just might get lost

So won't you tell me that you love me, hurry up and name the day

And then I'll know that my good luck is really here to stay

Oh I got lucky, yes I got lucky

When I found you



I always walk around with all my fingers crossed

I'm afraid the love I found just might get lost

So won't you tell me that you love me, hurry up and name the day

Will you kiss away my cares and woe?

I, John

Oh well, I, John, he saw might numbers

A way up in the middle of the air

I, John he saw might numbers

Way in the middle of the air

Got to mighty move, John, you saw mighty numbers

Way up in the middle of the air



Well there were three gates in the east

And there were three gates in the west

Three gates in the north

Three gates in the south

And that makes twelve gates to the city all square wide



John, you saw might numbers way up in the middle of the air

Well John declared that he saw a man

He held twelve bright stars in his right hand

Well his eyes flashed fire like the burning sun

Old John got scared and he wanted to run

Well he wanted to run but his feet wouldn't go

Cause he felt the gospel cutting like a two-edged sword

And he heard a voice that said John, you take a look

And read what you see and then you write it in a book



And he saw twelve angels in the east

And there were twelve angels in the west

Twelve angels in the north,

Twelve angels in the south

That's a total of forty-eight angels to the city, four squared wide

I Just Can't Help Believin'

I just can't help believin'

When she smiles up soft and gentle

With a trace of misty morning

And the promise of tomorrow in her eyes



I just can't help believin'

When she's lying close beside me

And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs

This time the girl is gonna stay

This time the girl is gonna stay

For more than just a day



Oh, I just can't help believin'

When she slips her hand in my hand

And it feels so small and helpless

As my fingers fold around it like a glove



I just can't help believin'

When she's whispering her magic

And her tears are shining honey sweet with love

This time the girl is gonna stay

This time the girl is gonna stay

For more than just a day

For more than just a day

Don't leave me by myself



Every mornin' through the years I pray

You know I've got to have Jesus

I just can't it by myself

By myself

I'll Be Back

All right



Well I'll be back, Yeah! I'll be back

Like a homesick train on a one-way track

I got to travel and hit the gravel

But I'll be back, Yeah! I'll be back



Yeah! I'll return, I shall return

Don't cool those lips, we're gonna see 'em burn

'Cause I'll be missin' your kinda kissin'

But I'll be back, Yeah, I'll be back



Yeah! There ain't nobody tell me stay or go, oh no

And no-one tells the four winds where to blow-ow-ow

I'll be back, I'm comin' back

Don't throw away that welcome mat

The door I'm hopin' will still be open a teeny weenie crack

To your shack

So keep that love light burnin', I'll be back



Yeah! There ain't nobody tell me stay or go, oh no

And no-one tells the four winds where to blow-ow-ow

I'll be back, I'm comin' back

I'll Be Home For Christmas

I'll be home for Christmas,

You can plan on me.

Please have snow and mistletoe

And presents for the tree.



Christmas Eve will find me

Where the love light leads.

I'll be home for Christmas, oh yes

If only in my dreams.

I'll Be Home On Christmas Day

On the hills of Georgia

Across the plains of Tennessee

I've seen and I've done most everything

That a man can do or see

But if I could only borrow one dream from your sleep

I'd be on that train tomorrow

I'll be home on Christmas day



And so many times before

She left that candle burning

Oh, too many tears fell

My soul fills with yearning

If I had sense at all

I'd just be on my way

Be on that train tomorrow

Be home on Christmas day



Everytime I think about her

All the love I left behind

Memories still linger in my troubled mind

I could set aside my pride

And I'd be on my way

I'd catch that train tomorrow

And be home on Christmas day



If I had any sense at all

I'd just be on my way

I'd catch that train tomorrow

I'd be home on Christmas day

I said I'd catch that train tomorrow

I'd be home on Christmas day

I'll Be There

I'll be there when all your dreams are broken

To answer your unspoken prayer, oh....

When the little things you're doin', ooh, don't turn out right

Don't you worry darlin' I'll be there



There whenever you need to know that there is someone who cares, oh yeah!

So if your new love isn't your true love

Don't you worry darlin', I'll be there



There whenever you need to know that there is someone who cares, oh yeah!

So if your new love isn't your true love

Don't you worry darlin', I'll be there

Don't you worry darlin', I'll be there

Don't you worry darlin', I'll be there

I'll Hold You In My Heart

I said I'd hold you in my heart 'till I can hold you in my arms

Like you've never been held before

Well I'll think of you each day and then I'll dream the night away

I'll Never Fall In Love Again

I've been in love so many times

I thought I knew the score

Now you've treated me so wrong

I can't take any more



And it looks like I’m never gonna fall in love again

Fall in love, I’m never gonna fall in love

I mean it, I mean it, fall in love again



I gave my heart so easily, cast aside my pride


When I saw you in his arms baby

I broke up and cried



And it looks like I’m never gonna fall in love again

That's what I'm sayin' Fall in love, No, I’m never gonna fall in love

Please don't make me fall in love again



That's why I, no, I’m never gonna fall in love

Please don't make me, don't make me, fall in love again

I'll Never Know

How many stars are in the sky, I'll never know

What fire lights a firefly, I'll never know



What happens to this heart of mine each time you hold my hand

Sometimes the things we love the most

I never thought these eyes would see an angel's glow

What miracle brought you to me, I'll never know

I'll never let you go, little darlin'.

I'm so sorry 'cause I made you cry.

I'll never let you go, 'cause I love you.

So please don't ever say good-bye.



The stars would tumble down beside me,

The moon would hang its head and cry.

My arms would never hold another baby doll

If we should ever say good-bye.



Well, I'll never let you go,

Because I love you, pretty baby.

If you found someone new who means more than me to you.

I'd never stand in your way

If you feel we must part, don't let pity rule your heart

Some people think that pot of gold

Is all they ever want to hold

But there's a treasure, I think more of

Measure for measure .. I'll take love

Is all they need for happiness

But there's a pleasure, I think more of

Eat caviar and drink champagne

I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen

I'll take you home again Kathleen

Across the ocean wild and wide

To where your heart has ever been

Since first you were my bonny bride

The roses all have left your cheek

I watch them fade away and die

Your voice is soft when ere you speak

And tears bedim your lovely eyes

Oh, I will take you home Kathleen

To where your heart shall feel no pain

And when the fields are soft and green

I will take you to your home Kathleen

I Love Only One Girl

Oh, I love only one girl, the one I got my arms around

I love only one girl, one in every town



In Paris there is Mimi, and when the moon is bright

I love to take her walking, along the Seine each night

I kiss her on the left, then I kiss her on the right



Oh, I love only one girl, the one I got my arms around

I love only one girl, one in every town



I'm proud of my Brunhilda, in Frankfurt on the Rhine

Oh she's a lot of woman and all of her is mine

Oh she can lift a Steinway as easy as a stein



Oh, I love only one girl, the one I got my arms around

I love only one girl, one in every town



In Naples there's Maria how she can cook and flirt

You can't beat her lasagna, I eat until I hurt

And then she tops it off with "amore" for dessert



Oh, I love only one girl, the one I got my arms around

I love only one girl, one in every town

honey everytime, everytime I'm walking by your side

and I love you, yes I love you because the future is a little bit brighter

and the door, the door of my happiness, you open wide



No matter what may be the style or season,

I know your heart will always be true.

I love you for a hundred thousand reasons,

But most of all I love you 'cause you're you

I'm Beginning To Forget You

I'm beginning to forget you

That old heartache is gone

I'm beginning to sleep at night

No more crying 'till dawn

I can hear your name mentioned

And it brings no misery

I'm beginnin to forget you

Like you forgot me



I'm beginning to smile again

After crying for so long

I can hear the tune we loved so well

And it's just another song

I'm so happy that it's over

I'm so thankful to be free

I'm beginnin to forget you

Like you forgot me

I'm Coming Home

Well it's so very hard to have

To leave the one you love

And you get more lonely

With each passing day

It's so lonely just sitting

And dreaming of

That girl thousand miles away



Yes, it's still lonely having

Just her picture here with me

And I know I just can't stand it anymore

I'm gonna leave right now

and go back where I ought to be

Goin' home to the girl that I adore



Well it's so very hard to have

To leave the one you love

And you get more lonely

With each passing day

It's so lonely just sitting

And dreaming of

That girl thousand miles away



Well, every time I hear

her sweet voice on the telephone

Then I know I just can't stand it another day

I'm gonna call right back

And tell her that I'm coming home and stay

Call her back and say I’m comin' home and stay

Call her back and say I’m comin' home and stay

Still could not say

How much I need you so in every way

I hope you will guide me

As only you can do

Hold my hands down beside me

I'm counting on you dear

From the dawn of each day

To always come through dear

In your kind lovin' way

If you knew just how deeply

I feel things you do

Then you know how completely

I'm counting on you

I'm counting on you dear

Around the dawn of each day

To always come true, dear

In your kind lovin' way

If you knew just how deeply

I feel things you do

I Met Her Today

I told you that some day

If you kept on being untrue

Somebody else would come along

And release me from you



You'll be glad to know now

Your fickle world

Can have its own way

For it finally happened

I've met her today



I used to think I just couldn't live

A day without you

In spite of the thousand doubts and tears

That you put me through

All at once I don't care as much for you

I'm sorry to say

For now there's another

I met her today



How I treasured each smile, each kiss

You gave to me now and then

Well, you needn't be kind to me now

Oh no, not ever again



Just when the last bit of pride in me was gone

Someone heard me pray

And sent me my angel

I met her today

I met her today

I'm Falling In Love Tonight

I'm falling in love, tonight

Somehow, I know

The beautiful world tonight

Is sharing, it's glow



When love let me down before

I said I was through

But I'm falling in love tonight

With you



'till you walked by

I laughed and played the game

One last kiss, then goodbye

And out went the flame



But somehow, you've changed me dear

This time, it's true

I'm falling in love tonight

With you

Still I recall all the good times together

The love we shared, the fun and the laughter

How I wish you could feel what my heart says tonight dear

I miss you and I wish you were here



Dreams that I had they lay broken in sorrow

The plans I made the hopes for tomorrow

If I could I would tell you I'm lonesome tonight dear

Oh I miss you and I wish you were here

The way you looked the sound of your laughing

How I long for the touch of your hand holding mine dear

Oh I miss you and I wish you were here

Where will I go, who will I have to lie beside me

Is it something that's inside me

I'm so lonely



Tried so hard each time, each time I just can't make it

Feelin' fast vibrations and I just can't take it

Living from day to day, chasing the dream

Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone.

You're right, and I'm left all alone.

Well, you tried to tell me so,

But how was I to know

That she was not the one for me?



You told me all along,

You're right, our love was so wrong.

But now I changed my mind,

Because she broke the ties that bind,

And I know that she never cared for me.



Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do,

I guess I'm not so smart.

Oh, you tried to tell me along she'd only break my heart.

I'm left, you're right, she's gone.

You're right, and I'm left all alone.



Well, she's gone I know not where,

But now I just don't care.

For now I'm falling for you.



If you'll forgive me now,

I'll make it up somehow.

So happy we will be,

In a home just for three,

And I'll soon forget her,

Now I know.

Don't pet me, don't paw me

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

Hear that lonesome winter bird

He sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is whining low

I'm so lonesome I could cry



Did you ever see a robin weep

When leaves began to die

That means he's lost the will to live

Lights up a purple sky

And as I wonder where you are

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm so lonesome I could cry

Inherit The Wind

Baby don't fall in love with me

I'll only bring you grief

Baby, don't set your heart on me

In My Father's House

In my father's house are many mansions

If it were not true he would have told me so

He has gone away to live in that bright city

He's preparing me a mansion there I know



Jesus died upon the cross to bear my sorrow

Freely died that souls like you might have new life

But I know that soon there'll come a bright tomorrow

When the world will all be free from sin and strife



(Do not shun the saviors love, from up in glory)

(Or you won't be there to sing the gospel story)

In my father's house are many mansions

If you're true then to this land you'll surely go

In My Way

I may not be here tomorrow

But I'm close beside you today

So lie to me a little, say you love me a lot

So smile when you kiss me, tomorrow you may cry

But I'll be true to you in my way

Yes I'll be true to you in my way

In The Garden

I come to the garden alone

While the dew is still on the roses

And the voice I hear falling on my ear

The song of God discloses



And He walks with me

And He talks with me

And He tells me I am his own

And the joy we share as we tarry there

None other has ever known



He speaks and the sound of His voice

Is so sweet the birds hush their singing

And the melody that He gave to me

Within my heart is ringing



And He walks with me

And He talks with me

And He tells me I am his own

And the joy we share as we tarry there

None other has ever known

In The Ghetto

As the snow flies

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

A poor little baby child is born

In the ghetto

And his mama cries

'cause if there's one thing that she don't need

it's another hungry mouth to feed

In the ghetto



People, don't you understand

the child needs a helping hand

or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

Take a look at you and me,

are we too blind to see,

do we simply turn our heads

and look the other way



Well the world turns

and a hungry little boy with a runny nose

plays in the street as the cold wind blows

In the ghetto



And his hunger burns

so he starts to roam the streets at night

and he learns how to steal

and he learns how to fight

In the ghetto



Then one night in desperation

a young man breaks away

He buys a gun, steals a car,

tries to run, but he don't get far

And his mama cries



As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

face down on the street with a gun in his hand

In the ghetto



As her young man dies,

on a cold and gray Chicago mornin',

another little baby child is born

In the ghetto

In Your Arms

Oh, the way I feel tonight

You better wrap me up good and tight

In your arms

In your arms



Just like a bee in a honeycomb

I'm gonna make myself right at home

In your arms

In your arms



Well, it don't take much to keep me satisfied

Just a little bit of lovin' that's bonafide

In your arms keep me tangled up all the time

Like a kitten with a ball of twine



Yeah baby, that's where I want to stay

For the rest of my natural days

In your arms

In your arms

I Really Don't Want To Know

Oh how many arms have held you

And hated to let you go

How many, oh how many, I wonder

But I really don't want, I don't wanna know



Oh how many lips have kissed you

And set, set your soul aglow, yes they did

How many, oh how many, I wonder, yes I do

But I really don't want to know



So always make, make me wonder

And always make, make me guess

And even, you know even if I ask you

Oh darling oh don't you, don't confess



Just let it, let it remain your secret

Oh for darling, darling I love you so

No wonder, yeah no wonder, I wonder

Mmm, 'cause I really don't want, I don't wanna know

I Shall Be Released

I see my light I see my light come shining

I Shall Not Be Moved

Well Lord I shall not be, I shall not be moved

I shall not be, I shall not be moved

Just like a tree that's growin' in the meadow (down by the water)

I shall not be moved



I'm on my way to glory land and I shall not be moved

On my way to glory land I will not be moved

I'm like a tree that's planted by the water

I shall not be moved



I shall not be, I shall not be moved

I shall not be, I shall not be moved

Just like a tree that's planted by the water

I shall not be moved



I shall not be, I shall not be moved

I shall not be, I shall not be moved

Just like a tree that's planted by the water

I shall not be moved



Well I'm on my way to glory land and I shall not be moved

On my way to glory land I shall not be moved

I'm like a tree that's planted by the water

I shall not be moved



Oh well

I shall not be, I shall not be moved

I shall not be, I shall not be moved

Just like a tree that's planted by the water

I shall not be moved

Is It So Strange

Oh, if you tell a lie

You know that I'll forgive you

Though you say our love is just a game

And when you hear my name

You'll say I'm from a strange world

But is it so strange to be in love with you



Is it so strange

That I love you more than all the world

Is it so strange

I have no eyes for any other girl



Oh won't you take me back

And say that you still love me

To waste a love like ours would be a sin

Let us kiss again

Let me hold you near

And take me from this strange world

That I'm living in

Island Of Love

Kauai, island of love

Lovely princess of the islands

Kauai, island of love

Listen, can't you hear her calling



Aloha welcome my love

Her palmtrees gently do the hula

While her slaves, the waves

Rush in to kiss her shores



Heaven is another name for

Kauai, island of love

I Slipped, I Stumbled, I Fell

I look at you and wham, I'm head over heels

I guess that love is a banana peel

I feel so bad and yet I'm feeling so well

I slipped, I stumbled, I fell



One crazy kiss and bam, I head for the skies

I guess that love is like a cake of ice

You skate along but then you can never tell

I slipped, I stumbled, I fell



I never thought I'd get tricked

By you sweet talking lies

You've got a bag of tricks

And when you get busy

I got dazzled and dizzy

I fell like a ton of bricks



My knees are weak, my head is spinning around

I guess that love has turned me upside down

Thought I'd get hurt, but gee, it's turning out well

I slipped, I stumbled, I fell

It Ain't No Big Thing, But It's Growing

Your losing interest in me and it's showin'

It ain't no big thing but it's growin'

The pain of heartbreak I've just started knowin'

Well, it ain't no big thing but it's growin'



Every day the hurt grows bigger than before

But I'll pretend I don't know this

But If I can hold you one day more

You've got the look of someone who's goin'

You're gonna leave me and it's showin'

A little tear I can feel start to flow

It ain't no big thing but it's growin'



Well every day the hurt grows bigger than before

But I'll pretend I don't know this

Well, if I can hold you one day more

You've got the look of someone who's goin'

It Feels So Right

Step in these arms, where you belong

It feels so right, so right

How can it be wrong?



There's something in the way you kiss

That makes me want to hold you tight

I know that nothing can't be wrong

that feels so right.



Each time we touch, you thrill me so

It means so much, so much

I can't let you go



This isn't only for tonight

We're gonna love our whole life long

'Cause baby, if it feels so right

How can it be wrong?

I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here

No-one's in a hurry

No-one seems to worry

Why they're all so happy is very clear

Every day siesta, every night fiesta

I think I'm gonna like it here



All this lovely scenery

There's more to it than greenery

I know a chance for romance is always near

Mission bells are ringing, everybody's singing

I think I'm gonna like it hear



The sound of laughter from every doorway

Sweet music floating across the square

It seems to say things are going better

Your troubles like bubbles will soon disappear in the air



Down to my last peso, but I'm not afraid to say so

I feel just like a brave, Spanish cavalier

I don't care where we go, so lead on" mi amigo"

I think I'm gonna like it here



Melodias.....lapieras



Your troubles like bubbles will soon disappear in the air



Down to my last peso, but I'm not afraid to say so

I feel just like a brave, Spanish cavalier

I don't care where we go, so lead on" mi amigo"

It Hurts me

It hurts me to see him treat you the way he does

It hurts me to see sit and cry

When I know I could be so true

If I had someone like you

It hurts me to see those tears in your eyes



The whole town is talking, they're callin' you a fool

For listening to his same old lies

And when I know I could be so true

If I had someone like you

It hurts me to see the way he makes you cry



You love him too much, you're too blind to see

He's only playing a game

But he's never loved you

He never will

And darling, don't you know he will never change



Oh, I know he never will set you free

Because he's just that kind of guy

But if you ever tell him you're through

I'll be waiting for you

Waiting to hold you so tight

Waiting to kiss you goodnight

Yes, darling, if I had someone like you

It Is No Secret

The chimes of time ring out the news,

Another day is through.

Someone slipped and fell.

Was that someone you?



You may have longed for added strength,

Your courage to renew.

Do not be disheartened,

For I have news for you.



It is no secret what God can do.

What He's done for others, He'll do for you.

With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.

It is no secret what God can do.



There is no night for in His light

You never walk alone.

Always feel at home,

Wherever you may go.



There is no power can conquer you

While God is on your side.

Take Him at His promise,

Don't run away and hide.



It is no secret what God can do.

What He's done for others, He'll do for you.

With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.

It is no secret what God can do.

It Keeps Right on A-Hurtin

I cry myself to sleep each night

Wishing I could hold you tight

Life seems so empty since you went away

And the pillow where you lay your head

Now holds my empty dreams instead

And it keeps right on a-hurtin'

Since you're gone



It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day

Every hour you're away I feel so lonely


And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on

And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone



They say a man ain't supposed to cry

But when I see you passing by

My heart breaks down and cries a million tears

The pillow where you lay your head

Now holds my empty dreams instead

And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone



It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day

Every hour you're away I feel so lonely

And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on

And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

It's A Matter Of Time

It's a matter of time before I go back there

A matter of time before I go home



I have been way from her now for a long time

And I've lived a life I thought that it should be

It's a long, long way from now to maybe sometime

And the waiting round is really killing me



It's a matter of time before I go back there

A matter of time oh Lord, before I go home

It's a long way I know and the goin' ain't easy

She'll see me again it's a matter of time



I think I'll take a train right early in the morning

Just to see how far I get along the way

But the trains don't run too often only sometimes

So I guess I'd better wait another day



It's a matter of time before I go back there

A matter of time before I go home

It's a long way I know and the goin' ain't easy

She'll see me again, it's just a matter of time

She'll see me I know it's a matter of time

It's A Sin

It's a sin, my darling

How I love you

Because I know

Our love could never be



It's a sin

To keep this memory of you

When silence proves

That you've forgotten me



The dreams I built for us

Has tumbled

Each promise broken

Like my heart



It's a sin, my darling

How I love you

So much in love

And yet so far apart



I'm sure you're happy with another

Who shares the love I cannot win

Why pretend that I can live without you

When deep inside I know that it's a sin

It's Diff'rent Now

Look at you and tell myself

How wonderful you are

You're so different now

To me you're much more wonderful, more wonderful by far

Yes, you're different now

There's more to love than holding hands and stealing kisses

No-one else around

There's the good times and the bad

There's the ups and downs we've had

But it's different now I'm so glad I still have you



There's always something new to see

I look at you, you look at me

And we're so different now

Love gets better every day 'n in some peculiar way

It's always different now

If we ever say goodbye, you'd be lost

And so would I, what's the difference now between us

Love just for a day, and a love that's here to stay

That's the difference now, the difference now

It's Easy For You

You may not mind that it's over

But I've a different point of view

Even though I am shattered

It's easy for you



You don't have to face the music

You don't have to face the crowd

Just go back where you came from

You ain't even proud



I had a wife and I had children

I threw them all away

And now you tell me, you dare to tell me

I should go back to them

What do you think I should say



I found it hard to leave them

Saddest thing I ever had to do

My problems haven't started

And it's easy for you



I had a wife and I had children

I threw them all away

And now you tell me, you dare to tell me

I should go back to them

What do you think, what on earth do you think I should say



If you ever tire of the good life

Call me in a year or two

I've got no choice, I'll forgive you

'Cause it's easy for you



You only have to call me, it's easy for you

You only have to call me, it's easy for you

It's Impossible

It's impossible to tell the sun to leave the sky,

It's just impossible.

It's impossible to ask a baby not to cry,

It's just impossible.

Can I hold you closer to me

And not feel you going through me,

But the second that I never think of you?

Oh, how impossible.



Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore?

It's just impossible.

If I had you could I ever ask for more?

It's just impossible.

And tomorrow, should you ask me for the world

Somehow I'd get it, I would sell my very soul

And not regret it for to live without your love

Is just impossible



Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore?

It's just impossible.

If I had you could I ever ask for more?

And not regret it for to live without your love

Is just impossible

Oh impossible,

It's Midnight

Maybe it's too late. Sometimes I even hate myself for loving you

Trying to be strong then nighttime comes along and I start loving you

Wanting you. Where is all my selfcontrol I'm burning way down in my soul

And needing you, and wishing I could be the man, I try to

Hating me for wanting you to be with you knowing you don't love me like you used to

But it's midnight, Ohh and I miss you



It's getting late and I know that's when I am weak

Funny how things have a way of looking so much brighter in the day light

I ought to go to bed to try and straighten out my head and just forget you

Oh but it's midnight yes and I miss you



It's getting late and I know that's when I am weak

It's Now Or Never

It's now or never,

come hold me tight

Kiss me my darling,

be mine tonight

Tomorrow will be too late,

it's now or never

My love won't wait.



When I first saw you

with your smile so tender

My heart was captured,

my soul surrendered

I'd spend a lifetime

waiting for the right time

Now that your near

the time is here at last.



It's now or never,

come hold me tight

Kiss me my darling,

be mine tonight

Tomorrow will be too late,

it's now or never

My love won't wait.



Just like a willow,

we would cry an ocean

If we lost true love

and sweet devotion

Your lips excite me,

let your arms invite me

For who knows when

we'll meet again this way



It's now or never,

come hold me tight

Kiss me my darling,

be mine tonight

Tomorrow will be too late,

it's now or never

My love won't wait.

It's Only Love

I see the the sunlight in her hair

I feel the warm smile that she wears

She has no recipe for love

But I just can't get enough



From the distance of my mind

Clock that's ringing says it's time

Wake up to my destiny

It's time to face reality



It's only love that I feel inside

But I'll get by somehow

It's only love, there must be something else for me girl



I tell myself that it's not real

There's nothing left for me to feel

I'll just be going on my way

Tomorrow brings another day



Only love that I feel inside

But I've got to be strong

My mind's made up, it's only love



But I know I'll get by, take my heart and my pride

And just throw it aside

It's only love



It's only love, it's only love, it's only love

It's only love

It's only love

It's Over

If time were not a moving thing

And I could make it stay

This hour of love we share

Would always be

There'd be no coming day

To shine a morning light

And make us realize our night is over



When you walk away from me

There is no place to put my hand

Except to shade my eyes against the sun

That rises over the land

I watch you walk away

Somehow I have to let you go

Cause it's over



If you knew just how I really feel

You might return and yet

There are so many times

That people have to love and then forget

Oh there might have been a way somehow

I have to force myself to say

It's over



So I turn my back,

Turn my collar to the wind

Move along in silence

Trying not to think at all

I set my feet before me

Walk the silent street before me

Now it's over



If time were not a moving thing

And I could make you stay

This hour of love we share

Would always be

There'd be no coming day

To shine a morning light

And make us realize our night is over



It's over

It's Your Baby, You Rock It

You offered me a penny for my thoughts

And I told you then that woman won't stay caught

But you turned and loved her anyway

She broke your heart and all I’ve got to say



It's your baby, you rock it

It's your heartache, you bought it

You made the bed your sleeping in

And I’m tired of hearing about it friend

It's your baby you, rock it



Well you cried upon my shoulder like a baby

I'm sorry 'bout your troubles and your lady

But she done you like she done me

And I’ve used up all my sympathy

It's your baby you, rock it

You made the bed your sleeping in

And I’m tired of hearing about it friend

It Won't Be Long

The shooting stars are coming out of your eyes

They point the way, the way to paradise

I got a funny feeling, I can't be wrong

It won't be long until the sparks will fly

It won't be long



I hear a buzz, buzz around in my brain

But what it does, is bound to drive me insane

At a time like this I must be strong

It won't be long till the sky falls down

It won't be long



Love has taught me plenty, I'm still learning more

Anything worth having is worth the waiting for

Here I go, I'm on a one way trip

Look out below because I'm about to flip

Oh, it won't seem like Christmas, oh, without you

Far too many miles are between

But if I get the one thing I'm waiting for

Well then I'll se you tonight in my dreams



Seems a long time since we've been together

It was just about to this time of the year

Looks like it's gonna be snowy weather

How I wish that you could be here



But it won't seem like Christmas, oh, without you

Far too many miles are between

But if I get the one thing that I'm wishing for

In the distance I hear sleigh bells ringing

The holly is so pretty this year

And the carol that somebody's singing

Reminds me of our Christmas last year

A thing about lovin' you



Ain't it just like a woman

When she knows she's got a man

She'll wring you out and turn you 'bout

In the palm of her hand

And then she starts to thinkin'

Then maybe she's put you in a blind

She'll give you just a little lovin'

It'll drive you out of your mind

I've Got Confidence

When trouble is in my way

I can't tell the night from day

I toss from side to side

Like a ship on a raging tide

I don't worry and I don't fret

God has never failed me yet

Troubles comin' from time to time

But that's all right, 'cause I'm not the worrying kind



Because I, I've got confidence,

God is gonna see me through

No matter what the case may be

I know He's gonna fix it for me



Job was so sick so long

Till the flesh fell from his bones

His wife, cattle and children,

Everything that he had was gone

But Job he never dispaired

He knew that God still cared

Sleepless days and sleepless nights

Job said honey that's all right



'Cause I've got confidence

God is gonna see me through

No matter what the case may be

I know He's gonna fix it for me



Some folks wonder how I smile

Even though I'm going to trial

How can I have song

Everything is going wrong

I don't worry and I don't fret

God has never failed me yet



Trouble's coming from time to time

That's all right, I'm not the worrying kind

'Cause I've got confidence

Has anybody seen her

Send her back to me

My baby's gone



I've gotta find my baby

I gotta hold her tight and tell her I love her

Tell her everything's all right

So I'll keep searching

Gotta find my baby

I've Lost You

Lying by your side I watch you sleeping

And in your face the sweetness of a child

Murmuring the dreams you won't recapture

Though it will haunt the corners of you mind



Who can tell when summer turns to autumn

And who can point the moment love grows cold

Softly happening the joy is over

Though why it's gone neither of us know



Oh, I've lost you yes, I've lost you

I can't reach you anymore

We ought to talk it over now

But reason can't stand in for feeling



Six o'clock the baby will be crying

And you will stumble, sleepy, to the door

In the chill and sun gray of the morning

We play the parts that we have learned to well

I Want To Be Free

There's no joy in my heart,

only sorrow

And I'm sad

as a man can be

I sit alone in the darkness

of my lonely room

And this room

is a prison to me



I look at window

and what to I see

I see a bird

way up in the tree

I want to be free free

Free - ee - ee - ee

I want to be free

like the bird in the tree



What good are my eyes,

they can't see you

And my arms,

they can't hold so tight

I have two lips

that are yearning,

but they're no good to me

Cause I know I can't kiss you tonight



I look at window

and what to I see

I see a bird

way up in the tree

I want to be free free

Free - ee - ee - ee

I want to be free

like the bird in the tree

I want to be free

like the bird in the tree

I Want You, I Need You, I Love You

Hold me close, hold me tight

Make me thrill with delight

Let me know where I stand from the start

I want you, I need you, I love you

With all my heart



Ev'ry time that you're near

All my cares disappear

Darling, you're all that I'm living for

I want you, I need you, I love you

More and more



I thought I could live without romance

Before you came to me

But now I know that

I will go on loving you eternally



Won't you please be my own?

Never leave me alone

'Cause I die ev'ry time we're apart

I want you, I need you, I love you

With all my heart



Written by Kosloff and Mysels

I Want You With Me

When I was little, my mama said to me

"One day you'll find a love to last eternally"

I want you with me everywhere I go

So please don't leave me baby, I love you so



I'll be the ruler of this whole wide world

If you will only say you'll be my girl

I want you with me in everything I do

You know I need you baby, I'm in love with you



There is no mountain that I can't climb

You find the mountain, child, and I'll find the time

I want you with me, with me night and day

Well, you can make me happy baby, don't you go away



I'll swim an ocean with a raging foam

If I know that you'll be there when I come back home

I want you with me, you know I love you so

Well, I want you with me baby, I'll never let you go

Well, I want you with me baby, I'll never let you go

I Was Born About Ten Thousand Years Ago

I saw old pharaoh’s daughter bring Moses from the water

I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so



I was born about ten thousand years ago

There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

I saved king David’s life and he offered me a wife

I said now you're talking business have a chair



Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago

Ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses

I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so



I was born about ten thousand years ago

Ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water

I was there when old Noah built the ark

And I crawled in the window after dark

I saw Jonah eat the whale and dance with the lion's tale

And I crossed over Canaan on a log



I was born about ten thousand years ago

Ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water

I was born in Macon Georgia

They kept my daddy over in Macon jail

He told me if you keep your hands clean

You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail



Well I fell in with bad companions

Robbed a man, oh up in Tennessee

They caught me way up in Nashville

They locked me up and threw away the key



I washed my hands in muddy water

Washed my hands, but they didn't come clean

Tried to do what my daddy told me

But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream



Well I asked the judge now when's my time up

He said son, oh you know we won't forget

If you try just to keep your hands clean

We might just make a good man of you yet



Oh I couldn't wait to get my time up

I broke out, broke out of Nashville jail

I just crossed the state-line of Georgia

Well I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail



I washed my hands in muddy water

Washed my hands, but they didn't come clean

Tried to do what my daddy told me

But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

I Was The One

I was the one who taught her to kiss

The way that she kisses you now.

And you know the way she touches your cheek,

Well, I taught her how.



I was the one who taught her to cry

When she wants you under her spell.

The sight of her tears drives you out of your mind,

I taught her so well.



And then one day

I had my love as perfect as could be.

She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried,

And it was all for me.



I'll never know who taught her to lie.

Now that it's over and done,

Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart?

I was the one.

I Will Be Home Again

I will be home again

Don't worry dear

I'll be home again

So won't you dry the tear

The promise in your eyes

Will see me through

There'll be brighter skies

When I come back to you



A-a-ah sweetheart

The love you're giving

Thrills my hungry heart

You make my life worth the living

Although we are apart

I will be home again

We'll start anew

Darling until then

Our dreams will have to do

I will be true

No matter what they may say

I will be true

Although you're far far away

Each night I pray

All day I'll say a silent prayer

That when I open my door

I'll find you there


Somehow I feel

That someday we'll meet again

Don't ask me how

It's something I can't explain

Until the day

I give up all hope of you

Assure yourself this I'll do

I will be true



That someday we'll meet again

Don't ask me how

Jailhouse Rock

The warden threw a party in the county jail. The prison band was there and they began to wail. The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing. You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing. Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone, Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone. The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang, the whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang. Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. Number forty-seven said to number three: "You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see. I sure would be delighted with your company, come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me." Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone way over in the corner weepin' all alone. The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square. If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair." Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake, no one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break." Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix, I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks." Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. Written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller

Kentucky Rain

Seven lonely days And a dozen towns ago I reached out one night And you were gone Don't know why you'd run, What you're running to or from All I know is I want to bring you home So I'm walking in the rain, Thumbing for a ride On this lonely Kentucky backroad I've loved you much too long And my love's too strong To let you go, never knowing What went wrong Kentucky rain keeps pouring down And up ahead's another town That I'll go walking thru With the rain in my shoes, Searchin for you In the cold Kentucky rain, In the cold Kentucky rain Showed your photograph To some old gray bearded man Sitting on a bench Outside a gen'ral store They said "Yes, she's been here" But their memory wasn't clear Was it yesterday, No, wait the day before So I fin'ly got a ride With a preacher man who asked "Where you bound on such a dark afternoon?" As we drove on thru the rain As he listened I explained And he left me with a prayer That I'd find you Written by Rabbitt and Heard

God bless the day I found you

I want to stay around you

And so I beg you

Let it be me

If you must cling to someone

Now and forever

I find complete love

Without your sweet love

Tell me, what would life be?

So never leave me lonely

Tell me you love me only

And that you'll always

Let it be me

Let Me

Whenever I dance with the girl I love

My head goes round and round

When she's close to me

I can't stay on the ground

Whenever I dance with the girl I love

I never have a care

All night I'm so light

I walk right on the air

Oh let me, oh honey let me

Let me do what you know I love to do

Please take another chance and let me

Let me have another dance with you

Whenever I feel those pretty arms

Reaching round about

That feeling goes to my toes

And all the lights go out, go out, go out

Whenever I see those eyes of blue

Smiling up so shy

I'm in such a spin I take right off and fly

So let me, oh honey let me

Let me do what you know I love to do

Please take another chance and let me

Let me have another dance with you

So let me dance in the arms I love

Thrill me through and through

I'm so drunk with love

That all I see is you

I never hear the music play

I never see the crowd

Only you and me

Dancing on a cloud

Oh let me, oh honey let me

Let me do what you know I love to do

Please take another chance and let me

Let me have, another dance, with you

Let Me Be There

Wherever you go

Wherever you may wonder in your life

Well surely you know, I always wanna be there

Holding your hand

And standing by to catch you when you fall

Seeing you through, in everything you do

I said let me be there in your morning

Let me be there in your night

Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right

Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share

All I ask you, is let me be there

Watching you grow

And going through the changes in your life

That's how I know, I always wanna to be there

Whenever you feel you need a friend to lean on

Here I am

Whenever you call, you know I'll be there

I said let me be there in your morning

Let me be there in your night

Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right

Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share

All I ask you, is let me be there

Let me be there in your morning

Let me be there in your night

Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right

Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share

All I ask you, is let me be there

All I ask you is let me be there

I said let me be there in your morning

Let me be there in your night

Don't be afraid, you and I were made the same little one

And I know what it's like when you feel left out of the game little one

But if you take this helping hand that I lift

Then we can smile together, let's be friends

The world that you see may seem to be a mystery to you

The night may be dark but hope very hard and dreams can come true

You live in silence but for once let's pretend

We're talking here together, let's be friends

You're not alone, I've always known that we'd get along

And someone I know says life is good and He can't be wrong

There's fun and laughter just waiting round the bend

Let's find them now together, let's be friends

Let's find them now together, let's be friends

Let's Forget About The Stars

If you let the stars keep telling you

Who to love and not to love

You may never find contentment for your heart

You could go unloved forever and darling that means never

Surrender to love, let's forget about the stars

You say that stars have promised you true love ten thousand times

But here you are with a broken heart and mind

I can tell you want to love me from the beating in your heart

Surrender to love, let's forget about the stars

Let's forget about the stars, come follow me my dove

To a world just like the world that you've been dreaming of

Let's not wait too long for something might go wrong

Surrender to love, let's forget about the stars

Let's forget about the stars

Let's forget about the stars

Let's forget about the stars

Let Yourself Go

Well baby I'm gonna teach you what love's all about tonight

Trust me honey everything's gonna be all right

You gotta do like I do there ain't nothing to it

Listen to me baby anybody can do it

All you gotta do is just let yourself go

Now don't be afraid just relax and take it real slow

Cool it baby you ain't got no place to go

Just put your arms around me real tight

Enjoy yourself baby don't fight

All you gotta do is just let yourself go

All you need is just a little rehearsal

The first thing that you know

You'll be ready for the grand finale

So come on baby let's go

Let's go, let's go' let's go

Let's go

Take a real deep breath and put your warm red lips on mine

Just do like I tell you, everything's gonna be just fine

Kiss me nice and easy, take your time

Baby I'm the only one here in line

All you gotta do is just let yourself go

Let yourself go right now Yeh! let yourself go

Let yourself go right now Yeh! let yourself go

Yeh! let yourself go

All you gotta do is just let yourself go

Life

Somewhere out in empty space,

long before the human race,

Something stirred,

A vast and timeless source began,

Intelligence was born and then,

there was the world,

Powers filled the universe,

matter formed and broke the curse,

Of nothingness,

Love became an ageless soul,

nature reached her highest goal,

And breathed the breath of life,

Everlasting life.

Well creatures come from out of sight,

Daylight came from in the night,

and all was good,

Life became a masterplan,

Love produced the perfect man,

that understood,

The image of the makers word,

worshipped him with all he had,

But then one day,

From in the depths an evil seed,

grew and manufactured greed,

That changed the way of life,

Everlasting life,

Oh the loving power looked and saw,

Inside the heart of man a flaw,

began to grow,

Well, the fires of hell began to burn,

and so he sent his chosen son,

To let us know,

That love had surely made us all,

and hate would surely make us fall,

So from the cross,

Well he showed the world that dreadful day,

That love could be the only way,

or all is lost of life,

Everlasting life,

For life is love,

And love is life.

Like A Baby

You gave me love to enjoy

Like a bright shiny toy to a baby

No matter what you would do

I depended on you like a baby

One thing I know I love you

Yes I loved you like a baby

It was a fool that you took

And I think 'cause you look like a baby

To lover's ways I was blind

'Cause I just had a mind like a baby

You're just a flirt

And I had to be her guide like a baby

I need you so, I need you so

The day I found I am alive

Then I broke down and cried like a baby

Well it was then I could see

You were playing with me like a baby

Well you can bet that some day

I'll forget just like a baby

Little Cabin On A Hill

Tonight I’m alone without you my dear

It seems that there's a longing for you still

Oh but I just keep it there so I won't be alone

In our little cabin on the hill

Oh someone has taken you from me

And left me here all alone

To listen to the rain beat on our window pane

In our little cabin on the hill

To hold your life, your little foot, your hand

Hold my hand

My dear, I would run

To find without you

Oo oo oo oo oo

Oh, oo oo oo

That my love was just for you, 'n only you

Little Egypt

I went and bought myself a ticket and I sat down in the very first row

They pulled the curtain but then when they turned the spotlight way down low

Little Egypt came out a-struttin' wearin' nothin' but a button and a bow

Singing, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying

She had a ruby on her tummy and a diamond big as Texas on her toe

She let her hair down and she did the hoochie-coochie real slow

When she did her special number on the zebra skin I thought she'd stop the show

Singing, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying

She did her triple somersault and when she hit the ground

She winked at the audience and then she turned around

She had a picture of a cowboy tatooed on her spine

Said, Phoenix, Arizona 1949

Yeh, let me tell you people Little Egypt doesn't dance there anymore

She's too busy mopping and a-takin' care of shopping at the store

'Cos we've got seven kids and all day long they crawl around the floor

Singing ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying

Little Sister

Well, I dated your big sister

And took her to a show

I went for some candy

Along came Jim Dandy

And they snuck right out of the door

Ev'ry time I see your sister

Well she's got somebody new

She's mean and she's evil

Like that old Boll Weevil

Guess I'll try my luck with you

Well, I used to pull your pigtails

And pinch your turned-up nose

But you been a growin'

And baby, it's been showin'

From your head down to your toes

Little sister, don't you

Little sister, don't you

Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice

Then say it's very nice

And then you run

Little sister, don't you

Do what your big sister done

Lonely Man

It's a lonely man

Who wanders all around

It's a lonely man

Who roams from town to town

Searchin', always searchin'

For something he can't find

Hopin', always hopin'

That some day fate will be kind

It's a lonely man

Who travels all alone

When he has no one

That he can call his own

Always so unhappy

Taking shelter where he can

Here I am

Come meet a lonely, lonely man

Always so unhappy

Taking shelter where he can

Here I am

Come meet a lonely, lonely man

Here I am


Come meet a lonely, lonely man

Lonesome Cowboy

I am just a lonesome cowboy

And I’m travelling all alone

I ain't even got a nickel

To call my baby on the phone

Just beyond the mountain lies a city

And I hear it calling me

Saddle up and ride you lonesome cowboy

Here is where you'll find your destiny

In my dreams the lights shine bright and pretty

Near to me and yet so far

Will I always be a lonesome cowboy

Am I only reaching for a star

Ride. Ride, ride, ride along cowboy

Sing, sing, sing, sing a song cowboy

Will I ever leave this lonesome valley

Really see the lights that shine

Gotta find what lies beyond the mountain

Gotta rope and tie that dream of mine

I am just a lonesome cowboy

And I’m travelling all alone

If you don't call me baby

Then I’m never coming home

Long, Black Limousine

There's a long line of mourners

Driving down our little street

Their fancy cars are such a sight to see, oh yea

They're all rich friends who knew you in the scene

And now they've finally brought you

Brought you home to me

When you left you know you told me

That some day you'd be returnin'

In a fancy car, all the town to see, oh yea,

Well now everyone is watching you

You finally had your dream, yea

You're ridin' in a long black limousine

You know the papers told of how you lost your life, oh yea

The party, the party and the fatal crash that night

Well the race along the highway, oh the curve you didn't see

When you're riding in that long black limousine

Through tear filled eyes I watch as you pass by oh yea

A chauffeur, a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine

Well I never, I never, never, never

Oh my heart, all my dreams yea, they're with you

In that long black limousine

Long Legged Girl

All right

I've been thumbin' rides travellin' light

Walked the streets till past midnight

Trampin' roads, trails and lanes

Scaling cliffs fields and plains

Searchin' till the early dawn

For that long legged girl with the short dress on

Riding trucks, bikes and skis

Sailing lakes and brooks and seas

Driving wagons, cars and jeeps

Walking stilts in ten foot leaps

Searchin' till the early dawn

For that long legged girl with the short dress on

And everywhere I go she's been and gone

She's fine, it's just too bad she's the travellin' kind

So fine, I just can't rest till I make her mine

I've been from Maine to Tennessee, Mexico from Wahkiki

Rain or shine, sleet or snow

Searchin' high, searchin' low

Everything depends upon

That long legged girl with the short dress on

She's fine, it's just too bad she's the travellin' kind

So fine, I just can't rest till I make her mine

I've been from Maine to Tennessee, Mexico from Wahkiki

Rain or shine, sleet or snow

Searchin' high, searchin' low

Everything depends upon

That long legged girl with the short dress on

The long legged girl with the short dress on

Long, Loneley Highway

It's a long lonely highway when you're travellin' all alone

And it's a mean old world when you got no-one to call your own

And you pass through towns too small to even have a name, oh yes

But you gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere

Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care

Just keep movin' down the line

It's a long lonely highway without her by my side

And it's a trail full of teardrops that keep on being cried

My heart's so heavy it's a low down dirty shame oh yes

You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere

Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care

Just keep movin' down the line

I gotta rock for my pillow 'neath a weeping willow

And the cool grass for my bed

My drinking water's muddy so don't you tell me buddy

That I wouldn't be better off dead

It's a long lonely highway gettin' longer all the time

And if she don't come and get me

Well, I'm gonna lose my mind

So if you read about me tell her she's the one to blame, oh yes

You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere

Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care

Just keep movin' down the line

Movin' down the line

Movin' down the line

Look Out Broadway

We never got discouraged, we never had a doubt

'Cos sooner or later talent must win out

Look out Broadway, we're comin' fast

Now we're gonna see our names in lights at last

No more hot dogs at Sloppy Joe's

We're gonna dine on steak and wine at Del Monaco's

Rich or poor it's great to have dough

That's one thing we know

Lots of fun, lots of laughs

Signing cheques and contracts and autographs

We're up for N-E-W Y-O-R-K

Look out, look out Broadway

I wanna see all the hustle and bustle

Maybe I can get a date with Lilian Russell

I want to go out with Diamond Jim

Yeh, if he gives you a diamond what will you give to him

Blow the trumpets and beat on the drum

Big time here we come

No more cheap hotels and one night stands

We'll knock Tin Pan Alley flat on its pans

They'll see that we've got class with a capital K

Look out, look out Broadway

Look out!

Love Coming Down

I remember how your eyes used to light up

Over promises that I made

But for the first time in my life

I know now how it feels to be afraid

I don't know what I’d do if you go away

This would sure be one lonely old town

For a man's so busy going up in the world

That he couldn't see love coming down

Love coming down

I remember all the times you told me

Love's all that matters to you

And looking back now, wondering how I believed

I had things more important to do

I can see how I must have looked to you

Like some fool on a merry-go-round

And that a man's so busy going up in the world

That he couldn't see love going down

Love going down

Can't you see how everything I’ve learned

Would just be wasted if you leave me

If you just give one more try

I swear I’ll always be here when you need me

If you can find it in your heart to forgive me

I'll try to keep both my feet on the ground

But if a man's so busy going up in the world

That he couldn't see love coming down

Love coming down

Crying over you, dear only.

Crying over you, dear only.

Love Me, Love The Life I Lead

I am not a wise man neither am I a fool

But what I am the way the good Lord made me

Though I need you more than you may ever understand

I can't wear a face that will betray me

Oh, If you're gonna love me, love the life I lead

Need the things I need, don't try to change me

If you're gonna take me, take me for what I am

I can't be another man, I can't be free

'Cos The life I lead is the life I lead

Money in my pocket never seems to last too long

I've gambled on the way and drowned my sorrows

Though God knows I can't pretend it's better on my own

I can't promise you a new tomorrow

Oh, If you're gonna love me, love the life I lead

Need the things I need, don't try to change me

If you're gonna take me, take me for what I am

I can't be another man, I can't be free

Love Me Tonight

May this tenderness cling

When the fire of Spring

May you still be my own

When a hundred years have flown



But if it can't be

Give this moment to me

While our dream is bright

Put your sweet arms around me

And love me tonight

Love me tonight

Let me feel your lips on mine



And though I pray

Forever and a day I'll be

Possessing you

I'll confess to you



If I knew that our love would be gone

With the stars in the dawn's grey light

I'd still hold you close and whisper

Love me tonight

Wrap you up and take you home

Love Song Of The Year

I used to laugh when I should cry

I used to let these feelings pass me by

But now that I believe them

I got no-one to leave them to me

You see I traded love for what I thought must be free



So I confess my loneliness

And I guess I've lost the best of the year

That I have lost it through my fingers like a golden breath of air

If I cared I wouldn't be singing this love song of the year

I know the time cannot erase the days

Love is past and I've gone away

From now on I'll make it very clear



Cos' I don't want to write

Another love song of the year

It's a lonely song and not too clear

But to me it's very dear

I guess this song can only be

My feelings went out in the sea of love



To me this has got to be the love song of the year

I know the time cannot erase the days

Love is past and I've gone away

From now on I'll make it very clear

Cos' I don't want to write



Another love song of the year

I used to laugh I used to cry

I used to laugh, these feelings passed me by

From now on I'll make it very clear cos' I don't want to write

Another love song of the year

Lovin' Arms

If you could see me now

The one who said that he would rather roam

The one who said he'd rather be alone

If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now

Just for a moment, if I could really make you mine

Just for a while turn back the hands of time

If I could only hold you now



'Cause I've been too long in the wind

Too long in the rain

Takin' any comfort that I can

Looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains

And lying in your lovin' arms again



If you could hear me now

Singin' somewhere in the lonely night

Dreaming of the arms that hold me tight

If you could only hear me now

'Cause I've been too long in the wind



Takin' any comfort that I can

Looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains

And lying in your lovin' arms again

I can almost feel your lovin' arms again.

Mansion Over The Hilltop

I'm satisfied with just a cottage below A little silver and a little gold But in that city where the ransomed will shine I want a gold one that's silver lined I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop In that bright land where we'll never grow old And some day yonder we will never more wander But walk on streets that are purest gold Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely I'm not discouraged I’m heaven bound I'm but a pilgrim in search of the city I want a mansion, a harp and a crown I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop In that bright land where we'll never grow old And some day yonder we will never more wander But walk on streets that are purest gold Written by Ira Stamphill

Mary In The Morning

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning When through the sleepy haze I see her lying there Soft as the rain that falls on summerflowers Warm as the sunlight shining on her head When I awake and see her there so close beside me I want to take her in my arms, The ache is there so deep inside me Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning Chasing the rainbow in her dreams so far away And when she turns to touch me I kiss her fingers so softly And then my Mary wake to love and love again And Mary's there in summer days or stormy weather She doesn't care how right or wrong the love we share, We share together Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening Kissed by the shade of night and starlight in her hair And as we walk, I hold her close beside me All our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share Written by Cymbal and Rashkow

Maybellene

Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do. As I was motivatin' over the hill I saw Maybellene in a coup de ville. A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road, Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford. The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five, She's bumper to bumber rollin' side by side. Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do. The cadillac moved to a hundred and four got hot and wouldn't do no more It got cloudy and started to rain Tooted my horn in the passing lane The rain water blowin all under my hood I knew that was doin' my motor no good Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do. Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do. The motor cooled down, the heat went down And that's when I heard that highway sound. The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead. The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still And I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill. Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do. You've started back doing the things you used to do.

Memories

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine Quiet thought come floating down And settle softly to the ground Like golden autumn leaves around my feet I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories, Sweet memories Of holding hands and red bouquets And twilight trimmed in purple haze And laughing eyes and simple ways And quiet nights and gentle days with you Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine, Memories, memories, sweet memories Written by Bill Strange and Scott Davis

Money Honey

You know, the landlord rang my front door bell. I let it ring for a long, long spell. I went to the window, I peeped through the blind, And asked him to tell me what's on his mind. He said, Money, honey. Money, honey. Money, honey, if you want to get along with me. Well, I screamed and I hollered, I was so hard-pressed. I called the woman that I loved the best. I finally got my baby about half past three, She said I'd like to know what you want with me. I said, Money, honey. Money, honey. Money, honey, If you want to get along with me. Well, I said tell me baby, what's wrong with you? From this day on our romance is through I said, tell me baby, face to face How could another man take my place? She said, Money, honey. Money, honey. Money, honey, If you want to get a long with me. Well, I've learned my lesson and now I know The sun may shine and the winds may blow. The women may come and the women may go, But before I say I love you so, I want Money, honey. Money, honey. Money, honey, If you want to get along with me. Written by Stone

My Baby's Gone

Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone. You're right, and I'm left all alone. Well, you tried to tell me so, But how was I to know That she was not the one for me? You told me all along, You're right, our love was so wrong. But now I changed my mind, Because she broke the ties that bind, And I know that she never cared for me. Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do, I guess I'm not so smart. Oh, you tried to tell me along she'd only break my heart. I'm left, you're right, she's gone. You're right, and I'm left all alone. Well, she's gone I know not where, But now I just don't care. For now I'm falling for you. If you'll forgive me now, I'll make it up somehow. So happy we will be, In a home just for three, And I'll soon forget her, Now I know. Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do, I guess I'm not so smart. You tried to tell me all along, She'd only break my heart. Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone. You're right, and I'm left all alone. Well, she's gone, I know not where, But now I just don't care, For now I've fallen for you. Written by Kessler and Tabler

My Boy

You're sleeping son, I know But, really, this can't wait I wanted to explain Before it gets too late For your mother and me Love has finally died This is no happy home But God knows how I've tried Because you're all I have, my boy You are my life, my pride, my joy And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy I know it's hard to understand Why did we ever start? We're more like strangers now Each acting out a part I have laughed, I have cried I have lost every game Taken all I can take But I'll stay just the same Because you're all I have, my boy You are my life, my pride, my joy And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy Sleep on, you haven't heard a word Perhaps it's just as well Why spoil your little dreams Why put you through the hell Life is no fairytale As one day you will know But now you're just a child I'll stay her and watch you grow Because you're all I have, my boy You are my life, my pride, my joy And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy Written by Francois, Martin, Coulter and Bourtayare

My Little Friend

My warped and worried mind resortd To wandering off to ponder things I never talk about A pretty girl I used to know but wouldn't know if we met face to face And defying every logic known I wish all the time machine could take me back again To the wonder of my first love, the old folks tease me 'bout Referring to her only as my little friend Somewhere far away and maybe not so far away The child has grown into a woman of the world I assume just knowing that she knew so much of life at such a tender age I learned from her the whispered things the big boys at the pool hall talk about The thrill and disappointment, fear and shame that first love brings But oh, how I thought I loved my little friend The fragrance of the green grass mingled with the scent of love and warming earth The moonlight night I kissed and cried and swore I'd never touch another girl But time moved fast and I moved on and I loved others time and time again But with each time I thought of her and always gave a little more Assembled love and rememberance for my little friend Oh-oh-oh assembled love and rememberance for my little friend Oh-oh-oh assembled love and rememberance for my little friend Oh-oh-oh assembled love and rememberance for my little friend Written by Shirle Merlete

My Way

And now the end is near So I face the final curtain My friend, I'll say it clear I'll state my case of which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full I've traveled each and every highway And more, much more than this I did it my way Regrets, I've had a few But then again, too few to mention I did what I had to do And saw it through without exception I planned each charted course Each careful step along the byway Oh, and more, much more than this I did it my way Yes, there were times, I'm sure you know When I bit off more than I could chew But through it all when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out I faced it all and I stood tall And did it my way I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my fails, my share of losing And now as tears subside I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say, not in a shy way Oh, no, no not me I did it my way For what is a man, what has he got If not himself, then he has not To say the words he truly feels And not the words he would reveal The record shows I took the blows And did it my way The record shows I took the blows And did it my way Written by Anka, Francois and Revaux

Never Again

I hope I never ever love anyone this much again

I can't take it anymore, I’ve been hurt before

Never ever quite like this time



What will become of me when you're no longer here

If I can't stop loving you, what am I to do

You'll be free but where will I be



Now that I’m used to love, how can I stand alone

Now that love has come and gone, like the ending of a song

A song my lonely heart keeps singing



Where do I go from here, will I get over you

If so, next time I’ll be smart, I’ll know before I start

A heart that don't care, don't get broken



I hope I never ever love anyone this much again

Never ever, never again

Never again

Never Been To Spain

Well I've never been to Spain

But I kind of like the music

Say the ladies are insane there

And they sure know how to use it

The don't abuse it

Never gonna loose it

I can't refuse it



Well, I've never been to England

But I kind of like the Beatles

So I headed for Las Vegas

Only made it out to Lido's

Can you feel it

Must be weary

Oh so good... oh feel so good



Well I've never been to heaven

But I've been in Oklahoma

Well, they tell me I was born there

But I really don't remember

In Oklahoma or Arizona

What does it matter

What does it matter

Never Ending

Walk down to the beach at sunset

Look as far as you can see

You will find that endless ocean

And that's how my love will always be

Look up at the sky at midnight

Gaze up on the starlit view

Just as heaven has no boundaries

Neither does my love for you



I bring you never ending, never ending

never ending, never ending

never ending, never ending love

Never ending love

Never ending love

Never ending love

Never Say Yes

Look out now I'm runnin' wild

There ain't no holding back this child

I guess you'd say I'm a son of a gun

Livin' just for a life of fun

Here's the secret of my success

Never say yes. No, no, never say yes



Life has taught me one big lesson

Always keep the girlies guessin'

Tell 'em that you love them so

You hate to leave but you gotta go

That's the secret of my success

Never say yes. No, no, never say yes



It's the oldest scheme in the world

And you gotta know how to play it

Tell her yes in so many ways

And never ever say it

That's how I keep goin' on

Here today tomorrow gone

That's the kind of life for me

Being free like I want to be

Here's the secret of my success

Never say yes. No, no, never say yes



It's the oldest scheme in the world

And you gotta know how to play it

Tell her yes in so many ways

And never ever say it

That's how I keep goin' on

Being free like I want to be

New Orleans

You'll never know

What heaven means

Until you've been down to New Orleans

You ain't been livin' till you cuddle and coo

With some black-eyed baby by de old bayou



You've never seen

You've never seen those Cupid doll queens

Like they got 'em in New Orleans

And, ooh, they love you like no-one can

It makes you awful glad that you were born a man.



If-if-if you ain't been there

Then you ain't been nowhere

The livin's lazy and the lovin's fine

If you feel low down

So help me Hannah

You should lose the blues in Loui-si-i-si-ana.



Get the lead

Get the lead out of your jeans

And hot foot it down, hot foot down to where?

New Orleans

Louisiana baby tells you stay awhile

Live it up, love it up, southern style

Way down in New New Orleans.

Night Life

Oh the neons are a gleamin' and the gamblers are a dreamin'

Oh it's night life, yeh! night life

The chips are a spillin' and it's time to make a killin'

Oh it's night life, yeh! night life

Oh the pockets are a-burnin' and the money flies

With dice roll a-turnin' and you'll hit snakes eyes

You can't be a quitter when you're caught up in the glitter of

Night life night life



There're long legged women who will take you for a trimmin' yes it's night life

Oh night life.

Their lips taste like honey but they're out to spend your money

Yes it's night life. Oh yeh!

Just roll that seven and you'll hear them shriek

When seven come eleven it's a lucky streak

You can't beat the drama, the excitement and the glamour

Of the night life, I said that night life



So place your bet, come on make your play

Though you may regret it at the break of day

I said you can't be a quitter when you're caught up in the glitter of

Night life night life

Yeh! that night life, good ol' night life

Night Rider

Night rider, night rider

You may think that it's the breeze

Whispering through the lonely trees

But it's only him a'flying round the bend

As the day comes to that end



Night rider, night rider

He came riding to town

As the sun was going down

Saw my baby and he smiled her heart away

Now what will I do today



Cautioned my baby to stay at home

Not to leave mama's side

She laughed when I told her take care, take care

Or you'll share in his midnight ride



Night rider, night rider

Since he stole around the side

I ain't had no peace of mind

Night rider, won't you let my baby be

Come on, send her back to me

No More

No more do I see the starlight caress your hair

No more feel the tender kisses we used to share

I close my eyes and clearly my heart remembers

A thousand good-byes could never put out the embers



Darling I love you so and my heart forever

Will belong to the memory of the love that we knew before

Please come back to my arms, we belong together

Come to me let's be sweethearts again and then let us part no more.



No more do I feel the touch of your hand on mine

No more see the lovelight making your dark eyes shine

Oh how I wish I never had caused you sorrow

But don't ever say for us there is no tomorrow



Darling I love you so and my heart forever

Will belong to the memory of the love that we knew before

Please come back to my arms, we belong together

Come to me let's be sweethearts again and then let us part no more.

No Room To Rhumba In A Sports Car

This was gonna be the night tonight

I was gonna get to hold you tight

But I guess we didn't plan it right

I never stood a chance, we couldn't dance



Cause there's , no room to rhumba in a sports car

You can't move forward or back

There's no room to do what the beat tells you to

Without throwing your spine outta wack




When a little kiss I want to steal

I hit my head against the steering wheel

Now I know the way a pretzel feels

All I can do is shout...Hey let me out!!



Cause there's , no room to rhumba in a sports car

You can't move forward or back

There's no room to do what the beat tells you to

Without throwing your spine outta wack



What a way to waste a day with you

Nothing happens that can tell the truth

Let's go out and find a telephone booth

Yeah that's a better place, I like more space



Cause there's , no room to rhumba in a sports car

You can't move forward or back

There's no room to do what the beat tells you to

Without throwing your spine outta wack

Padre

The day that we wed You blessed us and said May heaven bestow you grace There in that holy place We shared our first embrace Our cottage was small but richer than all The palaces of the king All day the birds would sing Our hearts were filled with spring Padre, padre What happened to our love's so cruel Padre, oh padre In my grief I turn to you Then he came along And sang her his song And won her with honey lies He of the fiery eyes Now it's not her that cries So I will pray The hours away And weary my heart has grown Wondering where love has flown Counting my beads alone Padre, oh padre Please tell me how such things can be Padre, oh padre Pray for my love and me Written by Larue, Webster and Romans

I feel it in my leg, I feel it in my shoe Tell me pretty baby If you think you feel it too Let's have a party Let's have a party Send to the store And let's buy some more And let's have a party tonight Some people like to rock Some people like to roll But movin' and a groovin' Gonna satisfy my soul I've never kissed a bear I've never kissed a goon But I can shake a chicken In the middle of the room Now Honky Tonky Joe Is knockin' at the door Bring him in and fill him up And set him on the floor Written by Jessie Robinson

Patch It Up

We've got to patch it up baby Before we fall apart at the seams We've got to patch it up baby In the time we travel in our dreams Let's go back and test it again One more ride is all I ask Get that feelin', that old feelin', it is here We can patch it up baby, We can patch it up baby, We can patch it up baby, Patch it up with all our dreams We can patch it up baby, Sweep out all the trouble of our heart We've got to patch it up baby, Before our difference pulls us apart Let's go where the good luck lies Let us give it one more try Do you feel it? That old feelin'? Do you feel it? Written by Bourke and Rabbitt

Peace In The Valley

Petunia The Gardener's Daughter

I've gotta gal, oh what a pal The apple of my eye With something rare, a peach of a pear But her dad won't let us meet and I could die I love Petunia the gardener's daughter Oooh how that gal can kiss Her eyes are blue as bluebells Each cheek a rose to see How I dance when she plants her two lips on me I'm as daffy as a daffodil I long to kiss her all the time Tonight I'll steal into her garden And make Petunia's two lips mine (I've got a beau, I love him so The apple of my eye With something rare, a peach of a pear But my dad won't let us meet and I could die) And we could die I love Petunia the gardener's daughter Oooh how that gal can kiss (My eyes are blue as bluebells Each cheek a rose to see) How I dance when she plants her two lips on me (He's as daffy as a daffodil He loves to kiss me all the time) Tonight I'll steal into her garden And make Petunia's two lips mine She makes other girls look just like weeds (I'm gonna be his clinging vine) Tonight I'll steal into her garden And make Petunia's two lips (My ever loving two lips) Make Petunia's two lips mine Written by Bennett and Tepper

Pieces Of My Life

A water glass full of whiskey
And women that I never knew too well
Lord, the things I've seen and done
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell


I don't know how it started
But that's what makes a man a man, I guess
Now I'm holdin' on to nothing'
Tryin' to forget the rest


I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best part away


Playin' in bars, playin' like a star
anything to get a name
Carryin' on livin' on songs
my friends wrote for me to sing



I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best part away


Lord, the pieces of my life,
They're everywhere, they're everywhere
And the one I think I miss most of all
Is you and you know who.
