LET IT BE ME
Everly Brothers
I bless the day I found you

I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me.
Don’t take this heaven from one

If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me.
Each time we make love

I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be.
So never leave me lonely

Tell me you love me only
And that you’ll always,
Let it be me.
Tennessee Waltz
Patty Page
I was dancing with my darling

To the Tennessee waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my love one
And while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night

In the Tennessee waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darling
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee waltz

“Love Me Tender"
Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
and I love you so.
Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
and I always will.
Love me tender,
love me long,
take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong,
and we'll never part.
Love me tender,
love me dear,
tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
till the end of time.

TAKE ME HOME, Country RoadS
John Denver
Almost heaven, West Virginia,

Blue Ridge mountains, Shanandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains blowin' like a breeze
Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain mama
Take me home, country road.
All my mem'ries gather around her

Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eyes.
I hear her voice in the morning as she calls me,

Radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feelin' that
I should have been home yesterday, yesterday......

Room at the top of the stair
Eddie Rabbitt
Well I knew a place

Where love comes easy
And I know a woman
Who meets me there
She takes my hand
And gently leads me
And we go up to the room
At the top of the stair.
I closed the door

And she pulled the curtains
When we made love
It's a private affair
I've been around
And I know for certain
There ain't a room like a room
At the top of the stair.
When we climb up stairway to heaven

We find love waiting there
Right at home, just me and my baby
The love is good
In the room At the top of the stair.

Jamaican farewell
Down the bay where the nights are grey

And the sunshines gayly on the mountain tops
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reach Jamaica I made a stop.
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way

Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town.
SoundS of laughter everywhere

And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
I am sailing
I am sailing, I am sailing
Home again, 'cross the sea
I am sailing, stormy weather
To be near you, to be free
I am flying, I am flying
Like a bird 'cross the sky
I am flying passing high clouds
To be with you, to be free.
* Can you hear me, can you hear me

Thru' the dark night far away
I am dying forever crying
To be with you who can say.
(Repeat *)
We are sailing, we are sailing

Home again, 'cross the sea
We are sailing stormy weather
To be near you, to be free

Only Sixteen
Dr. Hook
She was only sixteen, only sixteen

And I love her so
But she was too young to fall in luv'
And I was too young to know
We'd laugh and we'd sing and do funny things

And it made our heart glow
Why did I give my heart so fast

It never will happen again
But I was a mere child of sixteen
I've aged a year since then.
She was only sixteen, only sixteen

With eyes that would glow
(But I love that girl so)

Tom Dooley
Kingston Trio
Throughout history
There were many songs
Written about the eternal triangle
The next one tells the story of Mr. Grayson
A beautiful women and
Condemned man named Tom Dooley
When the sun rises tomorrow
Tom Dooley must hang.
* Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die
I met her on the mountain
There I took her life
Met her on the mountain
Stabbed her with my knife.
(repeat *)
This time tomorrow

Reckon where I'll be
Hadn't been for Grayson
I'd been in Tennessee
(repeat * twice)
This time tomorrow

Reckon where I'll be
Down in some lonesome valley
Hanging from a white oaks tree
(repeat * twice)

Yesterday
The Beatles
Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be

There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say

I said something wrong now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
All my loving
The Beatles
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you - Tomorrow I will miss you
Remember I'll always be true - And then while I am away
I'll write home everyday - And I'll send all my loving to you
All my loving, I will send to you

All my loving, darling I'll be true
I'll pretend that I'm kissing - The lips that I'm missing
I hope that my dreams will come true - And then while I'm away
I'll write home everyday - And I'll send all my loving to you.
All my loving, I will send to you

All my loving, darling I'll be true

Jambalaya
Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the piroque down the bayou
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun of the bayou.
Jambalaya and crawfish pie and fillet gumbo

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my macher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Thibodaux, fountaino, the place is buzzin'

Kinfolks come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dressed in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh
Settled down far from town, get me a pirogue

And we'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap his mum to buy Yvonne what she need-o
-9-
Have You ever seen the rain
C.C.R.
Someone told me long ago, there's a calm before the storm

I know, it's been comin' for sometime
When it's over, so they say, It'll rain a sunny day
I know, shining down like water.
Chorus:
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down a sunny day
Yesterday and day before, sun is cold and rain is hard

I know, been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes through the circle, fast and slow
I know, it can't stop, I wonder
(repeat chorus) 2x
The last thing on my mind

Jose Feliciano
'Tis a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand made of sand
In the wink of and eye my soul is turning
In your hand, in your hand.
* Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could have loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
Oh you know that was the last thing on my mind.
You have reasons plenty for going
This I know this I know
And the wheat has been steadily growing
Please don't go please don't go
(repeat *)
As I lie in my bed in the morning
Without you, without you
Every song in my heart is a-burning
Without you, without you. (repeat *) - 10 -
Oh!! darling
The Beatles
Oh! Darling! Please believe me

I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
Oh! Darling! If you leave me

I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you
Don't ever leave me alone
When you told me

You didn't need anymore
Will you know
I nearly broke down and cry.
Oh! Darling! If you leave me

I'll never make it alone
I'll never do you no harm ( believe me)
Oh! Darling! Please believe me

I'll never let 'u' down (oh believe me darling)
I'll never do you no harm.

LET IT BE
The Beatles
When I find myself in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when all the broken hearted people

Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a change that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be

Yeh! There will be an answer, let it be

And when the night is cloudy

There is still light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Yeh! There will be an answer, let it be

I don't want to talk about it
Rod Stewart
I can tell by your eyes

That you've probably been cryin' forever
And the stars in the sky don't meant nothing to you
They're a mirror.
I don't wanna talk about it

How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart;
Whoa....................(my) heart ?
If I stand all alone

Will the shadow hide the colour of my heart
Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears
The stars in the sky don't mean nothing to you
They're a mirror
(repeat chorus and fade)

There goes my everything
Elvis Presley
I hear footsteps slowly walkin'

As they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice is softly saying
"Darling this will be goodbye forever more"
There goes my reason for living

There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
There goes my everything.
As my mem'ry turns back the pages.

I can see the happy year we had before
Now the love that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of the door.
Dream
Everly Brothers
Dream. dream, dream, dream,
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you all I have to do is dream
When I feel blue in the night

And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you all I have to do is dream.
I can make you mine

Taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is Gee Whiz..
I'm dreamin' my life away..
I need you so that I could die

I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you all I have to do is dream

Green, Green grass of home
Curly Putman/Tom Jone
The old home town looks the same as

As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there's run Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries is good
To touch the green green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching

Smiling sweetly, its good
To touch the green green grass of home.
The old house is still standing,
Tho' the paint is cracked and dry

And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
Then I awake and look around me,

At four grey walls that surround me
And then I realize that I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad Old Padre
Arm in arm we'll walk at day break
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to see me

in the Shade of the old oak tree
As they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home.

DESPERADO
Eagles
Desperado
Why don't you come to you senses
You've been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
But I know that you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy

She'll beat you if she's able
The queen of heart is always your best bet
How it seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones you can't get.
Desperado
Oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger
They're drivin' you home, freedom, ah, freedom
They're just some people talkin'
You're prisons walkin' through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences open the gate
It may be rainin'
But there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
Before it's too late.
- 16 -
Devoted to you
Everly Brothers
Darling you can count on me

Till the sun dries up the sea
Until then I'll always be
Devoted to you
I'll be yours thru' endless time

I'll above your charms sublime
Guess by now you know them why
Devoted to you.
I'll never hurt you, I'll never lie

I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to
I'd be unhappy if you were blue
Thru' the yeatrs my love will grow

Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you
(repeat)
- 17 -
RELEASE ME
Engelbert Humperdinck
Please release me, let me go

For I don't love you anymore
To waste our lives would be a sin
Release me and let me love again.
I have found a new love, dear

And I will always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold
Release me, my darling, let me go.
(repeat)
Please release me, can't you see

You'd be a fool to cling to me
To live a lie would bring us pain
AM I THAT EASY TO FORGET

Jim Reeves
They say you've found somebody new

But that won't stop my loving you
I just can't let you walk away
Forget the love I had for you
If I'm that easy to forget.
Guess I could find somebody new

But I don't want no one but you
How could you leave without regret
Am I that easy to forget.
Before you leave be sure you find

You want her love much more than mine
'Cause I'll just say we've never met
If I'm that easy to forget.

SHOT FULL OF LOVE
Dirt Band/ Johny Lee/ Don William
Once I had a heart cold as ice

Love to me was only for fun
I've made a mark for each broken heart
Like notches on a butt of a gun
Once I had a trick up my sleeve

And reputation all over the town
I was a heartless and cold where ever I go
And I shot down every young girl I found.
Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit

I used to be a heart break kid
Then I met you and the next thing I knew there I was.
Oh!! shot full of love.
Who would have though that someone like you

Would take a desperado like me
Oh here I am I was meek as lamb
With my bleeding heart there at your feet.

CARRIE
When lights go down, I see no reason
For you to cry. We've been through this before
In every time, in every season,
God knows I've tried
So please don't ask for more.
Can't you see it in my eyes

This might be our last goodbye
Carrie, Carrie, things they change my friend

Carrie, Carrie, maybe we'll meet again somewhere again
I read your mind, with no intentions

Of being unkind, I wish I could explain
It all takes time, a whole lot of patience
If it's a crime, how come I feel no pain.

Carrie, Carrie, maybe we'll meet again

Carrie, Carrie, maybe we'll meet again somewhere again

HERO
(Whispered) Let me be your hero
Would you dance if I asked you to dance?

Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying
Would you save my soul tonight?
Would you tremble if I touched your lips?

Would you laugh oh please tell me these
Now would you die for the one you love?
Hold me in your arms tonight?
(Chorus)
I can be you hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Would you swear that you'll always be mine?

Would you lie would you run away
Am I in to deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care you're here tonight
Chorus
I just want to hold you (2x)

Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care you're here tonight
Chorus (2x)
You can take my breath my breath away

I can be your hero

I’ll remember you
Atlantic starr
Words have left us all alone

And something's come between us
To turn the fire cold
Thoughts that chase you in the night
Silently the storm
The life from in your eyes
And I remain alone, no matter who
may try and take your place
CHORUS:
And I'll remember you
The dreams we could of dreamed
The tears I should have seen
We used to say forever
But I'll remember you
Your pure and simple heart
Your shadows painted dark
I will always love you
I'll remember you
Summer rain to fallen snow

We knew that it would last
But there's no way to know
It's such a storm that's in the sky
quietly will pass, quietly we'll cry
And here I stand, alone with every
promise melted through my hands
(Chorus)
Oh, and I remain, alone no matter

who may try and take your place
(Chorus 2x)
I'll remember you....

I'll remember you...

One more day
diamond Rio
Last night I had a crazy dream

A wish was granted just for me,
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in malibu
I simply wished, for one more day with you
Chorus
One more day

One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you
First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl

Then I'd unplug the telephone
And keep the tv off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do. With one more day with you
Chorus
Leave me wishing still for one more day

Leave me wishing still for one more day

Making memories of us
Keith Urban
I'm gonna be here for you baby I'm gonna be here for you from now on
I'll be a man of my word This you know somehow
Speak the language in a voice You've been stretched to the limits
That you have never heard But it's alright now
I wanna sleep with you forever And I'm gonna make you a promise
And I wanna die in your arms If there's life after this
In a cabin by a meadow I'm gonna be there to meet you
Where the wild bees swarm With a warm, wet kiss
And I'm gonna love you And I'm gonna love you
Like nobody loves you Like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust And I'll earn your trust
Makin' memories of us Makin' memories of us
I wanna honor your mother

And I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention
Like a bad outlaw
And I wanna stand out in a crowd for you

A man among men
I wanna make your world better
Than it's ever been
And I'm gonna love you

Like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust
Makin' memories of us
We'll follow the rainbow

Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way

Another summer day And I feel just like I’m living someone
Has come and gone away else’s life

When I Fall
Trick Pony
When I fall, I fall hard.

Sends shivers through my body, and I lay down my guard.
I'm pure devotion and sweet emotion.
I feel it all when I fall.
When I make love, well, I love strong.

I let go of everything till everything I have is gone.
It's endless passion, it's everlasting.
If you don't feel the way I feel,

An' we can still be friends.
But after all that I've been through,
I can't go down that road again.
'Cause when I hurt, well, it runs deep,

An' it's more than just a broken heart or tears down my cheek.
I feel like dying; my soul is crying.
Oh, well I'm pure devotion and sweet emotion.

I feel it all when I fall. (I can feel it all.)
Baby, it's your call when I fall.

Chances are
We'll go down in history
When they want to see
How true love should be
They'll just look at us

SOMEONE ELSE’S STAR
Bryan White
Alone again tonight

Without someone to love
The stars are shining bright
So one more wish goes up
Oh I wish I may
And I wish with all my might
For the love I’m dreaming of
And missing in my life
You’d think that I could find

A true love of my own
It happens all the time
To people that I know
Their wishes all come true
So I’ve got to believe
There’s still someone out there who
Is meant for only me
*
I guess I must be wishing on
Someone else’s star
It seems like someone else keeps getting
What I’m wishing for
Why can’t I be as lucky
As those other people are
I guess I must be wishing
On someone else’s star
I sit here in the dark

And stare up at the sky
But I can’t give my heart
One good reason why
Everywhere I look
It’s lovers that I see
It seems like everyone’s in love
With everyone but me
Why can’t I be as lucky

As those other people are
Oh, I guess I must be wishing
On someone else’s star

THE END OF THE WORLD
Why does the sun on shining?

Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me anymore.
Why do the birds go on singing?

Why do the stars glow above?
It ended when I lost your love.
I wake up in the morning and I wonder

Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no can't understand
How life goes on the way it does.
Why does my heart go on beating?

Why do these eyes of mine cry?
It ended when you say good-bye.
Pledging my love
Forever my darling our love will be true
Always and forever I'll love only you
Just promise me darlin' your love in return
May this fire in my soul dear, forever burn
My heart at your command dear

To keep love and to hold you
Making you happy is my desire
Loving you is my goal...
I'll forever love you

For the rest of my days
I'll never part from you
On your loving ways.

Words
Smile an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you gone
'Coz that would bring a tear to me.
This world has lost its glory

Let's start a brand new story now, my love
Right now, there'll be no other time
And I can show you how... my love.
Talk in everlasting words

And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my love
I'm here if you should call to me.
You think that I don't even mean

A single word I say
It's only words and words are all I have
To take your heart away(you away)

My bonnie
The Beatles
My bonnie lies over the ocean

My bonnie lies over the sea
My bonnie lies over the ocean
O bring back my bonnie to me
Bring back, o bring back

O bring back my bonnie back
Bring back, O bring back
O bring back my bonnie to me
Last night as I lay on my pillow

Last night as I lay on my bed
Last night as I lay on my pillow
I dream that my bonnie was dead
O blow ye winds over the ocean

O blow ye winds over the sea
O blow ye winds over the ocean
And bring back my bonnie to me
The winds have blown over the ocean

The winds have blown over the sea
The winds have blown over the ocean
And brought back my bonnie to me.

bANKS of the ohio
I asked my love to take a walk

To take a walk, just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of Ohio.
* And only said that you'll be mine

In no other arms entwined
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio.
I held a knife against his breast

As into my arms she pressed
She cried, “My love, don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity”
(repeat*)
I wandered home 'tween twelve and one

I cried 'My God, what have I done!'
I've killed the only man I love
'Coz he would not take me for his bride.
IMAGINE
John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try

No hell below us, above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today, aha.......
Imagine there's no country, it isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for and no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, yu... huh....
* You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one.
Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can

No need for greed of hunger a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, ya ... huh.
(repeat *)

TEARS IN HEAVEN
Eric Clapton
* Would you know my name if I saw you to heaven

Would you be the same if I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
'Coz I know I don't belong here in heaven
Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven

Would you be the same If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way through night and day
Coz' I know I just can't stay
Tears in heaven.
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven

Would you be the same if I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
'Coz I know I don't belong here in heaven.
Time can bring you down

Time can bend your knees.
(repeat *)
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure

Then I know they'll be no more tears in heaven
Time can bring you down Time can bend your knees
Time can break the heart
Have you begging please, begging please.

Bob Dylan
May God bless you and keep you always

May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the star

And climb on ev'ry rung
And may you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young

May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageuos

Stand up right and be strong
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy

May your feet always be swift
May you have s strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful

May your song always be sung
May you stay forever young.

CANDLE IN THE WIND
Elton John
Good bye Norma Jean,

Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled all out of the wood work
And they wispered into your brains
They set you on the trade mill
And they made you change your name.
And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rains sets in
And I would like to know you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did.
Loneliness was tough

The toughest role you ever played
Holywood created superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died all the press still hantin' you
All the papers had to sy
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude.
Goodbye Norma Jean,

Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the youngman in 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marylin Manroe.

Rhinestone cowboy
Glen Campbell
I've been walkin' these streets so long

Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these
Dirty sidewalks of broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away
Like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromising
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me.
Like a rhinestone cowboy

Ridin' out on a horse
In a star spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters
From people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone.
Well I really don't mind the rain

And a smile can hide all the pain
But you're down when you're ridin' a train
That's takin' the long way
And I dream of the thing I'd do
With a subway token and the dollar
Tucked away inside shoe.

THE LAST WALTZ
I wondered should I go or should I stay

The dand had only one more song to play
And then I saw you out the corner of my eye
A little girl alone and so shy.
I had the last waltz with you

Two lonely people together
I fell in love with you
The last waltz should last forever.
But the love we had was goin' strong

Through the good and bad we'd get along
And then the flame of love died in your eyes
My heart was broke in two when you said goodbye.
It's all over now nothing left to say

Just my tears and the orchestra playing
La, la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
BLUE EYES CRYING

Elvis Presley & Olivia Newton John
In the twilight glow I see him

Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again.
Love is like a dying amber

Only memories remain
Through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain.
Someday when we meet up yonder

We'll go hand in hand agina
In a land that knows no parting
Blue eyes crying in the rain.

Ebony eyes
Everly Brothers
On a weekend pass I wouldn't have had time

To get home and marry that baby mine
So I went to the chaplain
And he authorized me to send for my ebony eyes
My ebony eyes was coming to me

From out of skies on flight "1203"
In an hour or two I would whisper "I do"
To my beautiful ebony eyes.
(Spoken)
The plane was way over due, So I went inside to the airlines desk
And I said, "Sir I wonder why 1203 is so late?"
He said, "Oh, they probably took off late, they may have run
Into some turbulent weather, and had altered their course".
I went back outside and waited at the gate

And I watched the beacon light from the control tower
As it whipped through the dark ebony skies
As if it were searching for (my ebony eyes)
And then came the announcement over the loudspeaker

"Would those having relatives or friends on flight number 1203
Please report to the chapel across the streets at once"
Then I felt the burning break deep inside

And I knew the heavenly ebony skies
Had taken my life's most wonderful prize,
My beautiful ebony eyes
If I ever get to heaven, I'll bet the first angel I recognize

She'll smile at me and I know she will be my beauty ebony eyes.

THE LIGHTNING EXPRESS
Everly Brothers
The lightning express from the station so grand

Has started on its way
All of the passenger that were on board
Seemed to be happy and gay.
But one little boy who sat by himself
Was reading a letter he had
You could plainly tell by the look on his face
That the contents of it made him said.
The stern old conductor, then started his rounds

Taking tickets from everyone there
Finally reaching the side of the boy
He gruffly demanded his fare
'I have no ticket' the boy then replied
'But I'll pay you back someday'
"Then I will put you off the next stop we make"
But he stopped when he hear the boy say.
Chorus:
Please, Mister Conductor, don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have in this world sir,
Is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment, sir
And may not live through the day
I wanna reach home and kiss mother Goodbye
Before God takes her away.
A girl sitting near was heard to explain

"If you put him off, it’s a shame"
Taking his hat a collection she made
The boy's fare was paid on the train
"I'm obliged to you Miss, for your kindness to me"
‘You are welcome' she said, ‘never fear’
Each time the conductor would pass thru' the car
The boy's words would ring in his ears.
(chorus)

I shall be released
Bob Dylan
They say everything can be replaced

They say distance in not fear
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
I see my light come shining

From the west unto the east
Anyday now(2) I shall be released
They say every man needs protection

They say every man must fall
But I swear I see my reflection
some place so high above this wall
Standing next to me in this lonely crou'd

Is a man who swear's not to blame
All day long I hear he was framed
I shall be released.

CCR
Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm siging
Doo, doo, doo, looking out my back door
There's a giant doing cartwheels, a status wearing high heels

Look at the happy creatures dancing on the lawn
A dinosour Victrola listening to buck Owen
Doo, doo, doo looking out my back door
Tamborines and elephants are playing in thye band

Won't you take aride on the flying spoon
Do, doo wond'rous apparition provided by magician
Doo, doo, doo looking out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band

Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon
Doo, doo, bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrows

Bachelor boy
Cliff Richard
When I was young my father said

'Son, I have something to say'
And what he told me I'll never forget
Until my dyin' day.
He said "Son, you are a bachelor boy

And that's the way to stay
'Son, you'll be a bachelor boy
Until your dyin' day
When I was sixteen I fell in love

With a girl as sweet as can be
But I remembered just in time
What my daddy said to me.
As time goes by I probably

Will meet a girl and fall in love
Then I'll get married, have a wife a child
And they'll be my turtle dove
But until than I'll be a bachelor boy

And that's the way I'll stay
Happy to be a bachelor boy
Until my dyin' day.
I'll be a bachelor boy

And that's the way I'll stay
Happy to be a bachelor boy
Until my dyin' day.

Catch the rainbow
Richie Blackmore
When the evening falls, she'll run to me

Like whispered dreams, your eyes can't see
Soft and warm, she'll touch my face
For better strong against the rain
We believe, we'll catch the rainbow

Ride the wind to the sun
Sail aways on ships of wonder
But life's not a wheel
With chains made of steel.
So bless me(oh bless me, bless me)
Come the dawn, come the dawn
Come the dawn, come the dawn (repeat)
Edelweiss
Sound of Music
Edelweiss, Edelweiss,
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, edelweiss
Bless my home land forever.

Sound of silence
Simon & Garfunkel
Hello Darkness my old friend

I've come to talk with you again
Because the vision softly creeping
Left it's seed while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains
within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone

Norrow streets of cobbled stone
Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a memory of light
that split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people may be more
People talking witheret spealing
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share, no one dare
Disturb the sound of silences.
Fools say I, you do not know

Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms thaat I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wall of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon gods they made
And the sun lashed out its warming
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, the words of a prophet are written on the
subway walls and the tenement halls.
And whispered in the sound of silence.

Suspicious Mind
Elvis Presley
We're caught in a trap, I can't walk out

Because i love you too much baby
Why can't you see what you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together
With a suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On a suspicious mind
So, if an old friend I know

Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicions in your eyes?
But here we go again, asking
Where I'd been, and can't you see
These tears are real - I'm crying.
While my guitar gently weeps

The Beatles
I looked at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you

How to unfold your love
I know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold
I look at the world and I notice it's turning

while my guitar gently weep
With every mistake we must surely be learning

Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were inverted
No one altered you
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
while my guitar gently weeps
I look at you and still my guitar gently weeps.

Mississippi
Pussycat
Where you can hear a country song from far

And someone plays the honky tonk guiter
Where all thelights will go out one by one
The people join the song and the wind takes it away.
Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea

And lovers found the place they like to be
how many times before this song was ending
Love and understanding everywhere around.
Mississippi, I'll remember you

Whenever I shall go away
I'll be longing for the day
That i will be in Greenville again
Mississippi, you'll be on my mind
Everytime I hear this song
Mississippi roll along until the end of time.
Now this country song forever lost it's soul

When the guiter player turned to rock and roll
But every time when summer nights are falling
I always will be calling dreams of yesterday.

You needed me
Annie Murray
I cried the tear, you wiped it dry

I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up and give me dignity
Somehow you needed me.
*You gave me strength to stand alone again

To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me.
I can't believe it's you

I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave
Why should I feel I'd be a fool
Cause I've finally found
Someone who really cares.
You held my hand when it was cold

When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me friend.
- 48 -
Let's keep it that way
Annie Murray
There's no need to lie without me half trying not to love you.

Shows in your eyes that you feel the same way I do
But where ever I go my conscience grows what more can I say
Its only desire not yet afire
Let's keep it that way.
'Cause I don't wanna have to tell him a lie

When I get back home
'Cause it would tear apart his fairy tale world
If I did him wrong
And lying to him would hurt me more
Than leaving you this way
So before we forget lets not cheat as yet
Let's keep it that way.
Let's finish this wine

'Coz I'm not thinking too clearly tonight
With the touch of your hand
It's so hard fro me to tell wrong from right
He waits at home he's there alone and tho' I'd like to stay
Before I kill him let's call it just friends
And keep it that way.
Knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, take this badge off me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
I feel like knockin' on heaven's door.
Knock, Knock
Knockin' on heaven's door (4)
Mama out this gun into the ground

I can't shoot them anymore
That long black cloud has followin' me
I feel like knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock
Knokin' on heaven's door (4)

for baby
John Denver
I'll walk in the rain by your side

I'll cling to the warmth of your hand
I'll do anything to keep you satisfied
I'll love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me

A little bird will sing along in time
Leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime.
I'll be there when you are feeling down

To kiss away the tears if you cry
I'll share with you all happiness found
A reflection of the love in your eyes
And I'll sing you a song of the rainbow

A whisper of the joy that is mine
And leaves will bow down when you walk by
And evening bells will chime.
(Repeat 1st stz & Chorus)
all for the love of a girl

Lobo
Well, today I'm so weary, today I'm so blue,

Sad and broken hearted and it's all because of you.
Life was so sweet dear, life was a song,
Now you've gone and left me, Tell me where do I belong?
Chorus
And it's all for the love of a dear little girl,
All for the love, that sets your heart in a whirl.
I'm a man who'd give his life and the joys of this world.
All for the love of a girl.

Mexican girl
Smokie
Juanita came to me last night and she cried over and over
Oh Teddy I love you, you know when I think it's the moonlight
She looks so fine well she looked alright and she moaned
"Oh Teddy move over"
O baby you know what I like and
I think it's the moonlight
Leaving Mexico school and friends soon her loving

She needed no teaching
Oh man I can say international ways I believe in
Mexican girl don't leave me alone

I got a heart as big as this stone
And I need you believe me to be here
And love me tonight
Mexican girl I want you to stay
You know my heart is longing to say
That as long as I live I will always remember
The one that I call “My Mexican Girl.”
Her skin was soft as the dark blue sky

And her hair it shone in the moonlight
As the music deplayed when night turn to day
And I held her tight
And she looked at me with her dark brown eyes
And she whispered "Hasta La Vista"
I don't know what that means but it sounded so good
So I kissed her.

WONDERFUL TONIGHT
Eric Clapton
It's late in the evening

She's wonderin' what clothes to wear
She puts on her make-up
And brushes her long blond hair
And then she ask me
Do I look alright?
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight.
We go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
Who's walkin' around with me
And then she'll ask me
Do you feel alright?
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight.
I feel wonderful because I see the love lights in your eyes

And the wonder of it all
That you just don't realize
How much I love you.
It's time to go home now

And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darlin'
You were wonderful tonight
Oh! My darling you were wonderful tonight.

Evergreen Tree

Oh! darling will our love be

Like an evergreen tree
Stay evergreen and young
As the seasons go
Your kisses could make love grow

Like an evergreen tree
Bloom in the summer sun
And in the winter snow
On every branch will blossom

Dreams for me and you
Our tree of love will stay evergreen
Is our hearts stay ever true
Oh darling I love you so

Don't you know I'll be true that
Till the leaves turn blue
On the evergreen tree.

Please please me
The Beatles
Last night I said these words to my girl

I know you never even try girl
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Please please me, oh yeah like I love you
You don't need me to show the way love

Why do I always have to say love?
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Please please me, oh yeah like I love you
I don't want to sound complaining

but you know there's always rain in my heart
I do all the pleasing with you
It's so hard to reason with you, oh yeah
Why do you make me blue ?

For the good time
Elvis Presley
Don't look so sad. I know it's over

But life goes on and this whole world will keep on turnin'
Let's just be glad, we have some time to spend together
There'll be time to watch the bridges that were burning.
Lay your head upon my pillow

Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowin' soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times.
I'll get along, you'll find another

And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
And there'll be time enough for sadness
When you leave me.
(repeat chorus)
I should have know better

The Beatles
I should have know better with a girl like ytou

That I would love ev'rything that you do
And I do, hey hey hey and I do
Oh, oh I never realized what a kiss could be
This could only happen to me,
Can you see, can you see?
That when I tell you that I love you, Oh

You're gonna say you love me too
Oh oh I should have realized a lot of things before

If this is the love
You're gotta give me more,
Give me more
Hey hey hey give me more

You love me too.........fade

Have You ever seen the rain
C.C.R.

I know, it's been comin' for sometime
When it's over, so they say, It'll rain a sunny day
I know, shining down like water.
Chorus:
Comin' down a sunny day
Yesterday and day before, sun is cold and rain is hard

I know, been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes through the circle, fast and slow
I know, it can't stop, I wonder

Vaya con dios

Now the hacienda's dark, the town is sleeping

Now the time has come to part, the time for weeping
Vaya con dios my darling, vaya con dios my love

Wherever you may be I'll be beside you
Each night I'll say a prayer
A prayer to guide you, to hosten
Every lonely hour of every lonely day.
Now the village mission bell's are softly singing

If you listen with your heart you'll hear them singing.

Now the dawn is breading through a gray tomorrow

But the memories we share are now to borrow

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY
Queen
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Little high, little low, any way the winds blows
It doesn't really matter to me, to me, to me.
Mama just killed a man

Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh didn't mean to make you cry

If I am not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come.

Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
Mama, ooh I don't want to die

I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
(Music)
I see a little silhouette of a man

Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very very frightening me
Galileo, Galileo - 4x
Figaro, magnifico.
I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me

He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from his monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go

Bismillah, no we will not let you go let him go
Will not let you go, let me go
Will not let you go, let me go ah no. 6x
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go.

Lucille
Kenny Rogers
In a bar in Toledo across from the depot

On a barstool she took off her ring
I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over
I sat down and asked her name
When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no quitter
But I finally quit living on dreams
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after
I'm after whatever the other life brings.
In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him

I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
He had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused
He look like a mountain, for a minute I throught I was dead
But he started shaking, his big heart was breaking
And turned to the woman and breaking said
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

With four hungry children and crops in the field
I've had some bad times lived through some sad times
But this time you hurtin' won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.
After he left us I ordered more whiskey

I thought how she made him look small
From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room
We walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
I couldn't hold her the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time.
(repeat to fade)

WILD WORLD
Cat Stevens
Now that I've lost everything to you

You say you wanna start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leavin'
Baby I'm grieving if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
There's a lot of nice thing turned bad out there
Ooh! Baby baby it's a wild world

It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Ooh! Baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do

And it's breakin' my heart in two
'Coz I never want to see you sad, girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friend out there
Just remember there's a lot bad and beware.

It's now or never

Elvis Presley
It's now or never, come hold me tight

Kiss me, my darlin' 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've spent a life time waiting for the right time
Now that you're near the time is here at last.
(repeat)
Just like a willow, we would cry on ocean

If we lost true love and sweet devotion
Your lips excite me, let your arms invited me
For who knows when we'll meet again this way.

ANGEL
Sarah Mc Lachlan / Westlife
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance

For a break that would make it okay,
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day, I need some distraction
Oh, beautiful release, Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty, And weightless and may be, I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an angel,

Fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear,
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort there
So tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn

There's vultures and thieves at your back, And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie, That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference escaping one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh,
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
(repeat chorus)
You're in the arms of the angel, May you find some comfort there

LIVING NEXT DOOR TO ALICE
Smokie
Sally called when she got the word

She said, "I suppose you've heard about Alice"
Well, I rushed to the window and I looked outside
Well, I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive.
Chorus:
Oh I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't wanna know
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice
Twenty four years just waitin' for a chance to tell her
How I feel and may be get a second glance
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
We grew up together, two kids in the park

Carved out initials deep in the bark, me 'n Alice
Now she walks through the door with her head held high
Just for a moment I caught her eye
As a big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive.
(repeat chorus)
Then sally called back and asked how I felt

She said," I know how to help get over Alice"
She said, "Now Alice is gone but I'm still here
You know I've been waiting twenty four years"
And the big limousine disappeared
(repeat chorus)

Rock N' Roll Music
The Beatles
Just let me hear some of that

Rock and roll music, any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it, it's gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me, if you wanna dance with me.
I've got no kick against modern jazz

Unless they try to play it too damn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony
That's why I go for that
(repeat)
I took my loved one over across the tracks

So she can hear my man a wall a sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man, they were goin' like a hurricane
That's why I go gor that
(repeat)
Way down south they gave a jubilee

The jokey floks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home-brew from a water cup
The folks dancin' got all shook up
And started playin' that
(repeat)
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango

I'm in the mood to hear a mambo
It's way too early for a congo
So keep a rockin' that piano
That's why I go for that

I saw her standing there
The Beatles
Well, she was just seventeen, you know what I mean

And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
Oh when I saw her standing there
Well she looked at me and I, I could see

That before too long I'd fall in love with hers
She would never dance with another
Oh when I saw her standing there
Well, my heart zoom

When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine.
Oh we danced through the night

And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Oh since I saw her standing there
(repeat)
Well since I saw her standing there

Oh since I saw her standing there.

Here comes the sun
The Beatles
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say, "It's all right"
Little darling, It's been a long, cold, lonely winter

Little darling, it's feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here come the sun
And I say, "It's all right"
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little Darling, thats smile returning to the faces

Little Darling. it seems like years since it's been here.
Little Darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little Darling. it seems like years since it's been clear.
Here comes the sun, here the sun

And I say. " It's all right"
It's all right

From me to you
The Beatles
If there's everything that you want

If there's anything I can do
Just call on me, and I'll send it along
With love from me to you.
I've got everything that you want

LIke a heart that's oh so true
Just call on me, and I'll send it along
With love from me to you
I got arms that long to hold you

And keep you by me side
I got lips that long to kiss you
And keep you satisfied
If there's anything that you want

If there's anything I can do
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love from me to you.

PLEASE RELEASE ME
Please release me, let me go

For I don't love you anymore
To waste our lives would be a sin
I have found a new love, dear

And I will always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are
cold
Release me, my darling, let me go.
(repeat)
Please release me, can't you see

You'd be a fool to cling to me
To live a lie would bring us pain

I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND
The Beatles

I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something
I wanna hold your hand

Oh please say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please say to me
You'll let me hold your hand

You'll let me hold your hand
And when I touch you

I feel happy inside
It's such a feelin' that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide

I'm in love for the first time

Don't you know it gonna last
It's a love that'll last forever
It's a love that has no past
(repeat)
And from the first time that she really does me

Ooh she does me, she done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me
Ooh she does me, yes she does me good

Waiting just for you

Come together
The Beatles
Here come old flat top

He got joo, joo eyeball, he won holy roller he got
He hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker, he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine, he got toe jam footfall

One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me.
He bag production, he got, walrus gumboot

He got one sideboard, he own the spinal cracker
He got feet, down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me
He rolled on coaster, he got, early warning

He got, muddy water, he own, mejo feter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good looking
'Cause he so hard to see,
Come together now over me.

The Beatles
Desmond has a borrow in the market place

Molly is the singer in the band
Desmond says to Molly "girl, I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand.

Ob-la-di ob-la-da, life goes on, la-la-la, how the life goes on

Buy a twenty carat golden ring
Take it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing.

In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home

With a couple of kids running
In the yard of Desmond and Molly Jones
Happy ever after in the market place

Desmond lets the children hand-in-hand
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she still sings it with the band
(repeat and)
Happy ever after in the market place

And in the evening she's singer with the band

Can't stop loving you
Keith Urban
so you're leaving
in the morning
on the early train
I could say everything's alright
and I could pretend and say goodbye
you got your ticket

you got your suitcase
you got your leaving smile
i could say thats the way it goes
i could pretend and you won't know
that I was lying
cuz I can't stop loving you

I can't stop loving you
no I can't stop loving you
though I tried
we took a taxi
to the station
not a word was said
I saw you walk across the road
for maybe the last time i dont know
I'm feeling humble

I heard a rumble
on the railway tracks
and when I hear that whistle blow
I walked away and you won't know
that I was crying
cuz I can't stop loving you

I just can't stop loving
though I tried
I just can't stop loving you

i just can't stop loving you
why do I try
why do I try

Sometimes when we touch
Dan Hill
You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply

I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch

The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride

But through the insecurity some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter still trapped within my youth
At times I'd like to break you

And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you

And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters

Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again

Unchained Melody
Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time,
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me.
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea

To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, 'Wait for me, wait for me'
'I'll be coming home, wait for me!'
Are you still mine?

I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me

HOLD ME TIGHT (Anne Murray)
I don't want to hear it

No more fussin' and a fightin'
Baby, hold me tight
Let's let bygones be bygones

Let's think about tomorrow
Our future's bright
Chorus
Well I know I was wrong
I was such a fool
Too blind to see
You are the only one for me
Ah, but now I've seen the light

Everythings gonna be all right
Baby, hold me tight

Knock three times
Dawn
Hey, girl, what-you doin' down there?

Dancin' alone ev'ry night while I live right above you
I can hear your music playin'
I can feel your body swayin'
One floor below me, you don't even know me
I love you.
*
Oh, my darling, knock three times
On the ceiling if you want me, hoo-oo-oo
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Oh, my sweetness, .......
Means you'll meet me in the hall-way
Twice on the pipe mean you're gonna show.
If you look out you window tonight

Pull in the string with the note
That attached to my heart
Read how many times I saw you
How in my silence I adore you
Only in my dreams
Did that wall between us come apart.
(repeat to fade)

WHEN YOU SAY NOTHING AT ALL
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart

Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud

But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

SECRET LOVERS
Atlantic Starr
Here we are, the two of us together,

Taking this crazy chance to be all alone,
We both know that we should not be together,
Cause if they found out it could mess up,
Both our happy homes
I hate to think about us not together,

As soon as I look at you it will show on my face,
Then they'll know that we've been loving each other,
We can't let'em know, girl, no, no,
We can't leave a trace.
Chorus
Secret lovers that's what we are,
We should not be together,
But we can't let go, no, no.. cause we love each other so.
Sitting at home I do nothing all day,

But I think about you and hope that you're okay,
Hoping you call before anyone gets home
I wait anxiously alone by the phone.
How could something so wrong be so right,

I wish we didn't have to keep our love out of sight,
Living two lives just ain't easy at all,
But we gotta hang on in there or fall
Chorus
Secret lovers that's what we are,
Trying so hard to hide the way we feel,
Cause we both belong to someone else,
But we can't let go cause what we feel is oh so real...
So real,
So real...
Bridge
You and me, are We friend,
Is this cool, Or do we care ?
Can they tell what's in our mind ?
Maybe we'll be secret lovers all of the time ?
In the middle of making love we notice the time,

We both get nervous 'cause it's way after nine,
Even though we hate it we know it's time that we go,
We gotta be careful so that no one will know.
Chorus

bridge over troubled water
Simon & Garfunkel.
When you're weary

Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I'll dry them all
I'm on your side
Oh when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down
I will lay me down.
When you're down and on

When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
Oh when darkness comes
And pain is all around.
Sail on silver girl sail on by

Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on the way
See how they shine
Oh if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

I will ease your mind
I will ease your mind

If i said you have a beautiful body
Bellamy Brothers
If I say you have a beautiful body

Would you hold it against me
If I swear you were an angel
Would you treat me like the devil tonight
If I was dying of thirst would you flow a love
Come and quench me
If I said you have a beautiful body
Would you hold at against me.
Now we could talk all night about the weather

To tell you about my friends out on the coast
I could ask a lot of crazy questions
Or ask you what I really wanna know
If I said ..............
Now rain can falls so soft against the window

Sun can shine so bright up in the sky
But daddy always told me don't make small talk
He said come on out and say what's on your mind
If I said ...............

Devoted to you

Darling you can count on me

Till the sun dries up the sea
Until then I'll always be
Devoted to you
I'll be yours thru' endless time

I'll above your charms sublime
Guess by now you know them why
Devoted to you.
I'll never hurt you, I'll never lie

I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to
I'd be unhappy if you were blue
Thru' the yeatrs my love will grow

Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you

Blowing in the wind
Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down

Before they call him a man
Yes, and how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must a cannon ball fly
Before they are forever banned.
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist

Before its washed to the sea
How many years must some people exist
Before they are allowed to be free
And how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see.
How many times can a man look up

Before he can see the sky
How many years must one doesn't have
Before he can hear people cry
And how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died.

The great pretender
Freddy Mercury
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender

Pretending that I'm doing well
My need is such, I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell.
Oh yeas, I'm the great pretender

Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone
Too real is this feeling of make believe

Too real when I feel
What my heart can't conceal
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender

Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearin' my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around.
(repeat)

Rest you love on me
Andy Gibb & Olivia Newton John
May be you don't know me anymore that I know you

And I wouldn't blame you if you walked away
I've been watching you all evening
With the teardrops in your eyes
And it touches me much more than I can say
You know I hate to think that someone
Could have hurt someone like you
And in times like this I'd be right by your side.
Lay your troubles on my shoulder

Put your worries in my pocket,
Rest your love on me awhile
Saw you in the corner on the moment I walked in

Saw your lovely face across the room
No, I won't forget it and the way it might have been
Why did yo have to leave so soon

You know I hate to think that someone
Could have loved you more than me
And if was there I'd be right by your side.
How long must I wait for the last train to leave here
And the chance to go
Just to think that I was born too soon
How long, honey, when the lovin' do't come
I was there when you left it, just didn't know how to begin.

SHOT FULL OF LOVE
Once I had a heart cold as ice,

Love to me was only for fun.
I’d make a mark for each broken heart
Like notches on the butt of a gun.
Once I had a trick up my sleeve

And a reputation all over town.
I was heartless and cold wherever I’d go,
I shot down every young girl I found.
Yes, I used to be a moonlight bandit.

I used to be a heartbreak kid.
Then I met you and the next thing I knew,
There I was, Oh.... shot full of love.
Well, who’d have thought that someone like you,

Could take a desperado like me,
But oh here I am, I’m as meek as a lamb,
My bleeding heart there at your feet.

There I was, Oh, shot full of love.

There I was, Oh, shot full of love

COULD I HAVE THIS DANCE
I'll always remember the song they were playing,
The first time we danced and I knew.
As we swayed to the music and held to each other,
I fell in love with you.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?

Would you be my partner, every night?
When we're together it feels so right,
I'll always remember that magic moment,

When I held you close to me.
As we moved together, I knew, forever,
You're all I'll ever need.

FOR NO REASON AT ALL
Sometimes,I almost stop my breathin'
When I think how much I love you.
Sometimes, I feel like cryin' For no reason at all.
Sometimes,I feel that I can't take it,

Seeing all that love coming back
from your eyes.
Sometimes, I feel like cryin',
For no reason at all.
CHORUS;
Sometimes,I get a little crazy.
I think of you and my head gets hazy
Sometimes, I just can't think at all
Oooooohhhhh, Baby, I love you.
Sometimes, when I feel myself reachin' for you,

I can't believe you're lyin' there
beside me.
Sometimes, I feel like cryin',
REPEAT CHORUS:
- 83 -
I STILL WISH THE VERY BEST FOR YOU
Well you know I'm really bad at writing letters

You know I'm not much better with the phone
Day after day goes by and I still think of you
'Cause I still wish the very best for you
Well I've been hearing that you've got a baby

And that you're happy with somebody new
You an I both know sometimes
These things don't work out right
I want you to know
That I still wish the very best for you
So don't you think because we're not together

That I won't wish the very best for you
Even though your love shines on some other
Baby I want you to know
That I still wish the very best for you
So love and be loved by another

You don't have to feel we're going to lose
You are free to roam and rediscover
Someone who will share your ways with you

JUST ANOTHER WOMAN IN LOVE
I'm strong, I'm sure, I'm in control, a lady with a plan
Believing that life is a neat little package I hold in my hand
I've got it together, they call me "the girl who knows just what to say and do"
Still I fumble and fall, run into the wall, 'cause when it comes to you, I'm
CHORUS
Just another woman in love, a kid out of school
A fire out of control, just another fool
You touch me and I'm weak, I'm a feather in the wind
And I can't wait to feel you touching me again
With you I'm just another woman, just another woman in love
So pardon me if I should stare and tremble like a child

That "wanting you" look all over your face is driving me wild
I'm just what you make me, can't wait 'till you take me and set all my feelin's free
I know that you can, so come be my man, tonight I wanna be
CHORUS X 2 with FADE in middle of the second

Can't Help Falling In Love

Elvis
Wise men say only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love with you.
Shall I stay, would it be a sin

If I can't help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows

surely to the sea
darling so it goes
somethings are meant to be.
Take my hand, take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you.
For I can't help falling in love with you.
- 85 -
Just to feel this love from you
I've never held love so closely

Never knew one touch so well
I never dreamed love could really
Bring me to heaven from hell
I've run miles in the rain
Faced the nights with no end
I finally found my way through
Fate has been cheated
All that I needed
Was just to feel this love from you
I've never seen life so clearly

Never fear one step I take
My dreams live on past the morning
Oh what a difference you make
I'm sure God only knows
Where I'd be without you
All that I needed
It's been hard to believe

Love was in reach
Forevers fell before
Each other's needs
God only knows where I'd be without you
All that I needed
- 86 -
YOU'RE A PART OF ME
I'd like to live out all my dreams

And if I could, yes if I could
The nicest one would be with you
And you'd be here with me
Don't you ever get lonely
Lord I'm no good when you're away

But what do you expect
From a girl
Who loves you like I love you
Won't you ever just get tired
And come on home to me
Chorus
You're a part of me
That I can't do without
You're a part of me
That dreams are all about
But you can't hold on to
Something that you never had before
Love waits for the wind
To bring you back again
And take you away
Friends say it's great now you're a star

But what do they expect
From a girl
Who loves you just the way you were
And late at night, I wish things had never changed
And you were here with me
Repeat Chorus
Take you away

Honey I love you
Take me away
'Cause honey I love you
Take me away

DREAM ON

Dream on
Though it's hard to tell
Though you're foolin' yourself
Dream on
You can hide away

There is nothing to say, so dream on
Dream on
Though you're foolin' yourself, dream on
You can laugh at me because I'm crying

You can tell your friends how much
I begged you to stay
You can live your fantasy without me
But you'll never know how much I needed you
Dream on
It's so easy for you
Though I'm broken in two, dream on
Dream on
You can never see
What you're doing to me, so dream on
You can cross your heart and still be lyin'

You can count the reasons why you've thrown it away
You can dream your life away without me
You can laugh at me because I'm crying

You can tell your friends how much
I begged you to stay
You can live your fantasy without me
Dream on
It's so easy for you
Though I'm broken in two, dream on
Dream on
You can never see
What you're doin' to me, so dream on
Dream on
Though you're foolin' yourself,dream on
Dream on

SHOT ME DOWN
Nazareth
I was feelin' good, kinda high and cruisin'

I was tryin' to forget someone I had been losin'
Then you came along, surprise, surprise
You shot me down
I was lyin' crashed out on the ground
You shot me down
I was feelin' fine, mellowed out and easy

I was comin' back down kinda slow and lazy
Then you came along and fired the flame
You shot me down
I was lyin' burned out on the ground
You shot me down, you shot me down
You shot me down
I was feelin' good, kinda high and cruisin'

I was tryin' to forget someone I had been losin'
Then you came along, surprise, surprise
You shot me down
I was lyin' crashed out on the ground
You shot me down, you shot me down
You shot me down.

LOVE HURTS
love hurts, love scars,

love wounds, and marks,
any heart, not tough,
or strong, enough
to take a lot of pain,
take a lot of pain
love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
I'm young, I know,

but even so
I know a thing, or two
I learned, from you
I really learned a lot,
really learned a lot
love is like a flame
it burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
some fools think of happiness

blissfulness, togetherness
some fools fool themselves I guess
they're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true,

I know it isn't true
love is just a lie,
made to make YOU blue
love hurts, ooh,ooh love hurts
ooh,ooh love hurts
[Guitar solo]
I know it isn't true,

I know it isn't true
love is just a lie,
made to make YOU blue
love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
ooh ooh love hurts
ooh ooh..

SWEET CAROLINE (nEIL dIAMOND)
Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growin' strong
Was in the spring

And spring became a summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along
Hands, touchin' hands

Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I
Look at the night

And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holdin' you
Warm, touchin' warm

Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh,Lord, no
Sweet Caroline
Sweet Caroline
I believed they never could
Sweet Caroline

SUNRISE
(NORAH JONES)
Sunrise, sunrise
Looks like mornin' in your eyes
But the clocks held 9:15 for hours
Sunrise, sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
'Cause the afternoon's already come and gone
And I said hoo...

To you
Surprise, surprise
Couldn't find it in your eyes
But I'm sure it's written all over my face
Surprise, surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made it through another day
And I said hoo...

To you
Now good night

Throw its cover down
On me again
Ooh and if I'm right
It's the only way
To bring me back
Hoo...
To you
Hoo...

THE LONG WAY HOME
(Norah Jones)
Well I stumbled in the darkness

I'm lost and alone
Though I said I'd go before us
And show the way back home
Is there a light up ahead
I can't hold on very long
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home
Money's just something you throw

Off the back of a train
Got a handful of lightning
A hat full of rain
And I know that I said
I'd never do it again
And I love you sweet baby but I always take the long way home
I put food on the table

And a roof overhead
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
For the highway instead
Watch your back if I should tell you
Love's the only thing I've ever known
One thing's for sure sweet baby I always take the long way
home
You know I love you baby

More than the whole wide world
I'm your woman
You know you are my pearl
Let's go out past the party lights
Where we can finally be alone
Come with me and we can take the long way home
Come with me, together we can take the long way home
Come with me, together we can take the long way home

Come Away With Me
Norah Jones
Come away with me in the night

Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus

Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies
And I want to walk with you

On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come
Come away with me and we'll kiss

On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop lovin' you
I want to wake up with the rain

Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
- 94 -
DONT’T KNOW WHY
(Norah Jones)
I waited 'til I saw the sun

I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come (2x)
When I saw the break of day

I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine

You'll be on my mind
Forever
Out across the endless sea

I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone
My heart is drenched in wine

But you'll be on my mind
Forever
(Instrumental break)
Something has to make you run

I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come (3x)

BYE BYE LOVE
Simon & Garfunkel / Everly Brother
There goes my baby with someone new

She sure looks happy, I sure am blue
She was my baby till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been.
Bye bye love, bye bye happiness

Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna cry
Bye bye love, bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness, I feel like I could die.
I'm through with romance

I'm through with love
I'm through with counting the stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so free.
My lovin' baby is through with me
(repeat)
Bye bye my love bye bye

LET ME BE THERE
Olivia Newton John
Wherever you go
Wherever you may wander in your life
Surely you know
I always want to be there
Holding your hand
And standing by to catch you when you fall
Seeing you thru in everything you do
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 wonder
And thats only we can share
All I ask you is let me be there
Watching you grow
And going thru the changes in your life
That's how I know I'll always want to be there
Whernever you call you know I'll be there

Hey Jude
The Beatles
Hey! Jude, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey! Jude, don't be afraid

You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude,

Refrain, don't carry the world upon your shoulder
For while you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool by making his world
A little colder
Na na na na na na na na na
Hey! Jude Don't let me down

You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.
So let it out and let it in, Hey! Jude, begin

You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you now that it's just you
Hey! jude you'll do
The movememtn you need is on your shoulder
Na na na na na na na na na
Hey! Jude, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it better
Better, better better, better, better better oh
Yeh Yeh Yeh Yeh Yeh Yeh Yeh Yeh
Na na na na na na na na na hey! Jude ........... fade

Sweetest of all
Dr. Hook
Out of all of the nights I remember

Of all of the loves I recall
These are many who live in my memory
But you were the sweetest of all
Wasn't it sweetest of all babe?

Wasn't it sweetest of all?
I wasn't your first love
I wasn't your last
But wasn't it sweetest of all
Sometimes I still think about you

Sometimes I wish that you'd call
And sometimes I fees like you're lyin' here with me
And it's still the sweetest of all
So keep your goodbye in your pocket

You ain't goin' nowhere at all
You memory is stayin' here with me
'Cos you were the sweetest of all

Of all the lovers you let lie beside you
Weren't we sweetest of all?

Of all the lovers you let lie beside you
Wasn't it sweetest of all ?
Weren't we sweetest of all?

I’M ALREADY THERE
(Lonestar)
He called her on the phone We may be a thousand miles apart

From a lonely cold hotel room But I'll be with you wherever you are
Just to hear her say I love you one more time
But when he heard the sound I'm already there
Of the kids laughing in the background Take a look around
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye I'm the sunshine in your hair
A little voice came on the phone I'm the shadow on the ground
Said "Daddy when you coming home" I'm the whisper in the wind
He said the first thing that came to his mind And I'll be there 'till the end
Can you feel, the love that we share
I'm already there Oh I'm already there!
Take a look around Oh I'm already.....
I'm the sunshine in your hair There!
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there
She got back on the phone

Said I really miss you darling
Don't worry about the kids they'll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes
I'm already there

Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there 'till the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there

WHISKY LULLABY
She put him out,

Like the burning end of a midnight cigarette,
She broke his heart,
He spent his whole life trying to forget,
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time,
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind,
Untill the night,
Chorus:
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger,
And finally drank away her memory,
Life is short but this time it was bigger,
Than the strengh he had to get up off his knees,
We found him with his face down in the pillow,
With a note that said "I'll love her 'till I die."
And when we burried him beneath the willow,
The angles sang the Whisky Lullaby,
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalaaaaaa
The rumors flew,

But nobody knew how much she blamed herself,
For years and years,
She tried to hide the whisky on her breath,
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time,
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind,
Untill the night
Chorus:
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger,
And finally drank away his memory,
Life is short but this time it was bigger,
Than the strengh she had to get up off her knees,
We found her with her face down in the pillow,
Clinging to his picture for dear life,
We laid her next to him beneath the willow,
While the angles sang the Whisky Lullaby,
Lalalalalalalaaaaaa
Lalalalalalala

IF YOU GET THERE BEFORE I DO
(LOVE ME)
I read a note my grandma wrote

back in 1923
grandpa kept it in his coat
and he showed it once to me
he said boy you might not understand

but a long long time ago
grandmas daddy didn't like me none
but i loved your grandma so
we had this crazy plan to meet and run away together

get married in the first town we came to and live forever
but nailed to the tree where we were suppose to meet instead
i found this letter and this is what it said:
*
if you get there before i do
don't give up on me
i'll meet you when my chores are through
i don't know how long i'll be
but i'm not gonna let you down
darling wait and see
and between now and then
until i see you again
i'll be lovin' you
love, me
i read those words just hours before my grandma passed away

in the doorway of the church where me and gandpa stopped to pray
i know i've never seen him cry
in all my fifteen years
but as he said these words to her
his eyes filled up with tears
and between now and then

until i see you again
i'll be lovin' you
love, me

IT MATTERS TO ME
(Faith Hill)
Baby tell me where'd you ever learn

to fight without saying a word?
Then waltz back into my life
like it's all gonna be alright...
Don't you know how much it hurts...
When we don't talk,

when we don't touch,
when it doesn't feel like we're even in love.
it matters to me
when i dont know what to say

don't know what to do
don't know of it really even matters to you
how can i make you see
it matters to me
Baby I still don't understand

the distance between a woman and a man.
So tell me how far it is
and how you can love like this...
Cuz I'm not sure I can.
When we don't talk,

when we don't touch,
when it doesn't feel like we're even in love.
it matters to me
when i dont know what to say

don't know if it really even matters to you
it matters to me
oh and i don't know

what to say
don't know if it really even matters to you
it matters------ to me
oh it matters to me

LET’S MAKE LOVE
(Faith Hill & Tim Mc Graw)
Baby I've been drifting away, Dreaming all day

Of holidng you. Touching you
The only thing I want to do
Is be with you, As close to you
As I can be
*
Let's make love All night long
Until all our strength is gone
Hold on tight, Just let go
I want to feel you in my soul
Until the sun comes up
Let's make love
Oh, baby
Do you know what you do to me

Everything inside of me
Is wanting you
And needing you
I'm so in love with you
Look in my eyes
Let's get lost tonight
In each other
Oh baby, let's make love

All night long
All night long
Let's make love

IT WILL BE ME
(Faith Hill)
When you start falling

Who's gonna catch ya
I'm willing to bet ya
It will be me
Who's gonna love ya
Like there's no other
Search and discover
It will be me
When all the others

Have gone and hurt you
Who won't desert you
It will be me
Weighing the options
So much to think of
But when you think love
It will be me
You may not see it now

Love is strange that way
Someday somewhere baby somehow
When you've been broken

And dreams don't oblige ya
Who's that beside ya
Oh, it will be me
You may not see it now

Love is strange that way
Someday somewhere baby somehow
Who'll be your only

True romancer
You know the answer
It will be me
What will it take to

Bring you to your senses
And finally convince you
It will be me
- 104 -
STRONGER
(Faith Hill)
This is the window to my heart

I just want you to be free
There ain't no freedom where we are
Ain't no wishes in these stars
Ain't no reason to believe
But don't worry baby, don't you worry
Maybe this is what we need
A little bruising, a little bleeding
Some space that we can breathe in
Some silence in between
*
So cry for me baby and I'll cry for you
And we'll both break down and we'll both break through
We'll find our way and we'll face the truth
And we both will be stronger
And we'll lie down in our loneliness
And wake up with our sad regrets
And even though we don't know it yet
We both will be stronger
We both will be stronger
I can't believe you're really gone now

But I know its for the best
And I know that we weren't right
But I still reach for you each night
And man that hurts like hell
music break
So baby
This is the window to my heart

I just want us to be free
Baby I'm sorry for the way things are
Goodbye is always hard
And we both will be stronger...

Like we never loved at all
Faith Hill & Tim Mc Graw
You never looked so good

As you did last night
Underneath those city lights
There walking with your friend
Laughing at the moon
I swear you looked right through me
But I'm still living with your goodbye
And you're just going on with your life
[chorus]
How can you just walk on by
Without one tear in your eye
Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me
Maybe that's just your way
Of dealing with the pain
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all
You, I hear you're doing fine

Seems like you're doing well
As far as I can tell
Time is leaving us behind
Another week has passed
And still I haven't laughed yet
So tell me what your secret is
To letting go like you did, like you did
[chorus]
Did you forget the magic

Did you forget the passion
Did you ever miss me
Ever long to kiss me
[chorus]
You, you never looked so good

I CAN’T TELL YOU WHY
Eagles
Look at us baby, up all night

Tearing our love apart
Aren't we the same two people who live
through years in the dark?
Ahh...
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I can't tell you why
When we get crazy,

it just ain't to right,
(try to keep you head, little girl)
Girl, I get lonely, too
You don't have to worry
Just hold on tight
(don't get caught in your little world)
'Cause I love you
Nothing's wrong as far as I can see

We make it harder than it has to be
and I can't tell you why
no, baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
No, no, baby, I can't tell you why

NEW KID IN TOWN
Eagles
There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar.

Great expectations, everybody's watching you.
People you meet they all seem to know you,
Even your old friends treat you like you're something new.
Johnny-come-lately, the new kid in town,
Everybody loves you, so don't let them down.
You look in her eyes, the music begins to play.
Hopeless romantics, here we go again.
But after a while you're looking the other way.
It's those restless hearts that never mend.
Johnny-come-lately, the new kid in town,
will she still love you when you're not around?
There's so many things you should have told her
But night after night you're willing to hold her,
Just hold her tears on your shoulder.
There's talk on the street, it's there to remind you
that it doesn't really matter which side you're on.
You're walking away and they're talking behind you.
They will never forget you till somebody new comes along.
Where you been lately? There's a new kid in town.
Everybody loves him, don't they? Now he's holding her
and you're still around, oh my my.
There's a new kid in town,
just another new kid in town.
Oo-hoo, everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town.

Oo-hoo, everybody's walking like the new kid in town.
THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN I don't want to hear it
THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN I don't want to hear it
THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN

THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN everybody's talking
THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN people started walking
THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN (repeat & fade)

LYIN’ EYES
Eagles
City girls just seem to find out early She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
How to open doors with just a smile She wonders how it ever got this crazy
A rich old man And she won't have to worry She thinks about a boy she knew in school
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess ev'ry form of refuge has its price My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
And it breaks her heart to think her love is You set it up so well, so carefully
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be
So she tells him she must go out for the evening **
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin' Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
** You can't hide your lyin' eyes

And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes
On the other side of town a boy is waiting

with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the nice anticipating
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
She rushes to his arms,

They fall together
She whispers that it's only for awhile
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
**
She gets up and pours herself a strong one

And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one

TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT
Eagles
All alone at the end of the of the evening

And the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have
Loved me and I never knew
You know I've always been a dreamer

(spent my life running 'round)
And it's so hard to change
(Can't seem to settle down)
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time
You can spend all your time making money

You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?
And when you're looking for your freedom

(Nobody seems to care)
And you can't find the door
(Can't find it anywhere)
When there's nothing to believe in
Still you're coming back, you're running back
for more
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time

AFTER THE THRILL IS GONE
Eagles
Same dances in the same old shoes

Some habits that you just can't lose
There's no telling what a man might lose,
After the thrill is gone
The flame rises but it soon descends

Empty pages and a frozen pen
You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends
After the thrill is gone, oh,
What can you do when your dreams come true

And it's not quite like you planned?
What have you done to be losing the one
You held it so tight in your hand well
Time passes and you must move on,

Half the distance takes you twice as long
So you keep on singing for the sake of the song
You're afraid you might fall out of fashion

And you're feeling cold and small
Any kind of love without passion
That ain't no kind of lovin' at all, well
Same dances in the same old shoes

You get too careful with the steps you choose
you don't care about winning but you don't want to lose
After the thrill is gone, oh

HOTEL CALIFORNIA
Eagles
On a dark desert highway,Cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas, Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself ....This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle, And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor..I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California, Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place (background), Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, Any time of year (background)
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, She's got the Mercedes bends
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys.....That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain, “Please bring me my wine’

He said, “We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say.....
Welcome to the Hotel California, Such a lovely Place

Such a lovely Place (background), Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California, What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise (background)
Bring your alibies
Mirrors on the ceiling, Pink champagne on ice

And she said, “We are all just prisoners here Of our own device”
And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
“Relax”, said the nightman, “We are programed to recieve
You can check out any time you like, But you can never leave”.........

PEACEFUL EASY FEELING
Eagles
I like the way your sparkling earrings lay

against your skin it's so brown
and I wanna sleep with you
in the desert tonight
with a billion stars all around
'cause I gotta peaceful easy feeling

and I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing
on the ground.
And I found out a long time ago

what a woman can do to your soul
Ah but she can't take you anyway
You don't already know how to go
and I gotta peaceful, easy feeling

on the ground
I get this feeling I may know you

as a lover and a friend
but this voice keeps whispering
in my other ear, tells me
I may never see you again
'cause I get a peaceful, easy feeling

on the ground
'cause I'm already standing...

on the ground
oooo, oooo

DOOLIN - DALTON
Eagles
They were duelin', Doolin-Dalton.

High or low, it was the same:
Easy money and faithless women,
Red-eye whiskey for the pain.
Go down, Bill Dalton, it must be God's will,

Two brothers lyin' dead in Coffeyville,
Two voices call to you from where they stood.
Lay down your law books now,
They're no damn good.
Better keep on movin', Doolin-Dalton,

'Til your shadow sets you free.
If you're fast and if you're lucky,
You will never see that hangin' tree.
Well, the towns lay out across the dusty plains

Like graveyards filled with tombstones, waitin' for the names.
And a man could use his back or use his brains,
But some just went stir crazy, Lord, 'cause nothin' ever changed
'Til Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton.

He was workin' cheap, just bidin' time.
Then he laughed and said, "I'm goin'"
And so he left that peaceful life behind.
Mm...

TAKE IT EASY
Eagles
Well, I’m running down the road

Tryin’ to loosen my load
I’ve got seven women on My mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says she’s a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy

Don’t let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don’t even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
Well, I’m a standing on a corner

In winslow, arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It’s a girl, my lord, in a flat bedford
Slowin’ down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me
We may lose and we may win

Though we will never be here again
So open up, I’m climbin’ in,
So take it easy
Well I’m running down the road trying to loosen

My load, got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin’ for a lover who won’t blow my Cover,
she’s so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy

Don’t let the sound of your own
Wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don’t say maybe

I gotta know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me.
oh oh oh.......
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

LOVE WILL KEEP US ALIVE
Eagles
I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely

Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
Don't you worry

Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
I would die for you

Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do
There's no more emptiness inside

I would die for you

Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do>>>
I was standing
All alone against the worl"d" outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive

THE SAD CAFE
Eagles
Out in the shiny night the rain was softly falling

The tracks that ran down the boulevard
had all been washed away
Out of the silver light the past came softly calling
And I remembered the times we spent
Inside the Sad Cafe
Oh, it seemed like a holy place protected by amazing grace

And we would sing right out loud the things we could not say
We thought we could change this world
With words like "love" and "freedom"
We were part of the lonely crowd
Inside the Sad Cafe
Oh, expecting to fly

We would meet on that beautiful shore
in the sweet by and by
Some of their dreams came true, Some just passed away

And some of them stayed behind
Inside the Sad Cafe
The clouds rolled in, and hid that shore

Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
Now I look at the years gone by

And wonder at the powers that be
I don't know why fortune smiles on some
And lets the rest go free.
Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall

But things in this life change very slowly if they
ever change at all
There's no use in asking why, It just turned out that way
So meet me at midnight, baby
Inside the Sad Cafe
Why don't you meet me at midnight, baby

Inside the Sad Cafe

HOLE IN THE WORLD
Eagles
[Chorus:]
There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
*
They say that anger is just love disappointed.
They say that love is just a state of mind,
but all this fighting over who will be anointed.
Oh how can people be so blind
[Chorus:]
Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder,

cool water running through the burning sand,
until we learn to love one another
we never reach the promised land.
[Chorus:]

THE GIRL FROM YESTERDAY
Eagles
It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye

Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
And she became the girl from yesterday
He took a plane across the sea

To some foreign land
She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand
How someone who had been so close could be so far away
And she became the girl from yesterday
She doesn't know what's right

She doesn't know what's wrong
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long
And she doesn't count the teardrops
That she's cried while he's away
Because she knows deep in her heart
That he'll be back someday
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone

Talking to a memory that's never coming home
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
But she'll always be the girl from yesterday
Yeh, she'll always be the girl from yesterday

DO SOMETHING
Eagles
I've been walkin' through the fields Do something

And on the streets of town Do something
Trying to make sense of what you left me Don't leave it up for someone else
Everything that I believed in Don't feel sorry for yourself
Has been turned upside down Why don't you do something?
And now it seems the whole wide world's Do something
gone crazy It's not over
No, it's never too late
But when I feel like giving up
And I'm ready to walk away Run away
In the stillness, I can hear Don: You can't run away
A voice inside me say On your honor
For your pride
Do something You'll sleep better
Do something Knowin' you tried
It's too late for saving face
Don't just stand there takin' up space To do something
Why don't you do something? Do something
Do something It's too easy not to care
It's not over You're not ready for the rockin' chair
No, it's never too late Get up and do something
Do something
You were always on my side Don't wait too long
Love was all we had Even if it's wrong
Now I sit and watch our life unraveling You've got to do something
I pick up the morning paper Do something
All the news is bad It's not over
How did we get on this road we're travel- No, it's never too late
ing?
But when I feel like giving up

And there's nowhere left to go
That's the time I dig down deep
It's the only thing I know

TEQUILA SUNRISE
Eagles
It's another tequila sunrise

Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, said goodbye
He was just a hired hand
Workin' on the dreams he planned to try
The days go by
Ev'ry night when the sun goes down

Just another lonely boy in town
And she's out runnin' 'round
She wasn't just another woman

And I couldn't keep from comin' on
It's been so long
Oh, and it's a hollow feelin' when
It comes down to dealin' friends
It never ends
Take another shot of courage

Wonder why the right words never come
You just get numb
It's another tequila sunrise,this old world
still looks the same,
Another frame, mm...

HOW LONG
Eagles
Like a blue bird with his heart removed, lonely as a train

I've run just as far as I can run
If I never see the good old days shinin' in the sun
I'll be doin' fine and then some
How long, how long

Woman will you weep
How long, how long
Rock yourself to sleep
Well I been doin' time in lonesome prison, where the sun don't shine
Just outside, the freedom river runs
Out there in that shiny night, with blood hounds on your mind
Don't you know it's the same sad situation?
How long, how long

Woman will you weep
How long, how long
[Joe's instrumental]
Everybody feels alright you know, I heard some poor fool say (Somebody Ooooo)
Everyone is out there on the loose
Well I wish I lived in the land of fools, no one knew my name
But what you get is not quite what you choose
Tell me, how long, how long

Woman will you weep
How long, how long
How long, how long (long and drawn out)

Muddy River runs so deep
How long, how long (long and drawn out)
Good night baby, rock yourself to sleep,
Sleep tight baby, rock yourself to sleep,
B-B-B Bye bye baby, Rock yourself to sleep

SEVEN BRIDGES ROAD
Eagles
There are stars

In the Southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight
And moss in the trees
Down the Seven Bridges Road
Now I have loved you like a baby

Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild
Sometimes there's a part of me

Has to turn from here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
There are stars in the Southern sky

And if ever you decide
You should go
There is a taste of time sweetened honey

The Last Resort
Eagles
She came from Providence, You can leave it all behind

the one in Rhode Island and sail to Lahaina
Where the old world shadows hang just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
heavy in the air They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus is coming"
She packed her hopes and dreams Brought the white man's burden down
like a refugee Brought the white man's reign
Just as her father came across the sea
Who will provide the grand design?
She heard about a place people were smilin' What is yours and what is mine?
They spoke about the red man's way, 'Cause there is no more new frontier
and how they loved the land We have got to make it here
And they came from everywhere
to the Great Divide We satisfy our endless needs and
Seeking a place to stand justify our bloody deeds,
or a place to hide in the name of destiny and the name
of God
Down in the crowded bars,
out for a good time, And you can see them there,
Can't wait to tell them all, On Sunday morning
what it's like up there They stand up and sing about
And they called it paradise what it's like up there
I don't know why They call it paradise
Somebody laid the mountains low I don't know why
while the town got high You call someplace paradise,
kiss it goodbye
Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
through the canyons of the coast, to
the Malibu
Where the pretty people play,
hungry for power
to light their neon way
and give them things to do
Some rich men came and raped the land,

Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
people bought 'em
And they called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea

I LOVE TO WATCH A WOMAN DANCE
Eagles
I love to watch a woman dance

She bows her head and lifts her hands
Her hips begin to circle slowly
Her eyes have closed; her face is holy
She holds the whole world in trance
Yeah, I love to watch a woman dance
She likes the slow songs of love lost

They take her a million miles away
'Cause to dream, sometimes, is the only way
To go places you can't get to any other way
Our eyes connect; she takes my hand
I feel my heart beating, and I wonder

Will it ever satisfy my longing?
I'm gonna hold on to you for as long as I can
For who knows, this dance may be our only dance
So we danced together, close and slow

So slow we're almost standing still
Her warm breath against my neck
Slowly breaking down my will
The room spins so I can barely stand
The song ends; then, she lets go of my hand
There's so much I don't understand
But I love to watch a woman dance
- 125 -
THE BEST OF MY LOVE
Eagles
Every night I'm lyin' in bed, holdin' you close in my dreams

Thinkin' about all the things that we said
And comin' apart at the seams
We try to talk it over
But the words come out to rough
I know you were tryin'

to give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces and loud, empty places

Look at the way that we live
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart I give you the best of my love

Oh sweet darlin' you get the best of my love, oh
Sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
I'm goin' back in time, and it's a sweet dream

It was a quiet night, and I would be all right
If i could go on sleepin' ...
But every mornin', I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today
You see it your way, and I see it mine
But we both see it slippin' away
You know we always had each other baby

I guess that wasn't enough
Oh, but here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin' you get the best of my love..

What Do I Do With My Heart
Eagles
You don't have to say a word Tell me you're not leavin' now
I can see it in your eyes Tell me you're not leavin'
I know what you wanna say Tell me that you're gonna stay
It's so hard to say goodbye Please say you'll stay with me, baby
Tell me that you love me still
I can hold back my tears Say you love me still
And try to be strong For this and this alone I pray
While our love is fallin' apart Fall down on my knees and pray
I know what I'll say
If you walk away I'll do anything
But what do I do Yes, I would
What do I do with my heart? To save what we have
To keep you by my side
I'm not gonna say a word I'll love you 'til death do us part
I know I can't change your mind But what do I do
You know where you need to go What do I do
I know I'll be left behind When I'm still missing you?
What do I do
I won't hold you back What do I do with my heart?
I won't stand in your way
If you need to make a new start
But I still wanna know
When my arms let you go
What do I do
What do I do with my heart?
Oh, girl, don't you remember?

It was not so long ago
We were makin' plans for two
Just me and you
Now you tell me that you've found somebody
Someone who loves you better
No one could ever love you
The way I do
- 127 -
TRY AND LOVE AGAIN
Eagles
When you're out there on your own

Where your memories can find you
Like a circle goes around
You were lost until you found out
What it all comes down to
One by one, the lonely feelings come

Day by day, they slowly fade away
Ooh, the look was in her eyes

you never know what might be found there
She was dancing right in time
And the looks she made so fine
Like the music that surrounds her
Should I stay or go?

I really want to know
Would I loose or win
If I try and love again?
gonna try and love again
I'm gonna try and love again
gonna try and love
gonna try and love
Right or wrong, what's done is done

It's only moments that we borrow
But the thoughts will linger on
of the lady and her song
When the sun comes up tomorrow
Well, it might take years to see
Through all these tears
Don't let go
When you find it you will know
Oh, Gonna try and love again

gonna try and love again
Sometimes lose, sometimes win,
Sometimes you need a friend
gonna try, gonna try
gonna try, gonna try, [etc.]

Busy Being Fabulous
Eagles
I came home to an empty house

And I found your little note
"Don't wait up for me tonight"
And that was all she wrote
Do you think I don't know that you're out on the town

With all of your high-rollin' friends?
What do you do when you come up empty?
Where do you go when the party ends?
And you were just too busy being fabulous

Too busy to think about us
I don't know what you were dreaming of
Somehow you forgot about love
And you were just too busy being fabulous, uh-huh
A little time in the country

A day or two to slow down
A bottle of wine and a walk in the moonlight
Maybe some foolin' around
But you think time is just a magazine

And money's just a thrill
I've waited so long for you to change your way of livin'
Now I realize that you never will
'Cause you were just too busy being fabulous

Lookin' for something you'll never find
You'll never know what you left behind
'Cause you were just too busy being fabulous, uh-huh
You tell a joke and everybody's laughin'

That's something you know how to do
You've always been the life of the party
But now my baby, the joke is on you
'Cause you were just too busy being fabulous

Running after something that never comes
What in the world are you runnin' from?

To drink the wine from your winner's cup
To notice the children were growin' up

Too busy, too busy
Too busy
Aw, baby

Thank You For Loving Me
Bon Jovi
It's hard for me to say the things Lock the doors

I want to say sometimes Leave the world outside
There's no one here but you and me All I've got to give to you
And that broken old street light Are these five words when I
Lock the doors Thank you for loving me

We'll leave the world outside For being my eyes oh, when I couldn't see
All I've got to give to you You parted my lips when I couldn't breathe
Are these five words when I Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me When I couldn't fly

For being my eyes when I couldn't see for Oh, you gave me wings
Parting my lips when I couldn't breathe You parted my lips when I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
I never knew I had a dream Thank you for loving me
Until that dream was you Oh for loving me
When I look into your eyes
The sky's a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you'd make believe
That you believed my lies

For being my eyes when I couldn't see
For parting my lips when I couldn't breathe
You pick me up when I fall down

You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me, yeah

BLOOD MONEY
Bon Jovi
Hey Patty Garrett that's what I used to call you

They tell me you want me but I hear they've got you
They made you a lawman with a badge made of silver
They paid you some money to sell them my blood
But you say, this ain't about me and this ain't about you
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've gotta cause you can't walk away
Wonder what would of have happened if you were the killer and I was the hero
Would things be the same ?
Or would I have traded your life for my own life ?
Would I have paid your debts in your place ?
I don't know
But this ain't about me and this ain't about you

Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've gotta cause you can't walk away
Blood money, that's what I call it

'Cause money for blood ain't no fair exchange
Blood money
Bought and then sold you
But your conscience is all you can take to your grave

BED OF ROSES
Bon Jovi
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano

Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares, think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won't make of me when I'm dead
With an ironclad fist I wake up and french kiss the morning

While some marching band keeps it's own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth, what you mean to me and the truth is
Baby you're all that I need
* I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Well I'm so far away the step that I take's on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night
To see through this pay phone
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to
You I'll just close my eyes, whisper baby blind love is true
*
Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
Well I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
Ooh yeah
Now as you close your eyes

Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove for it's you that I'd die to defend
*

I'll Be There For You
Bon Jovi
I guess this time you're really leaving

I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love in suicide
You say you're cried a thousand rivers

And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
Now I'm praying to God

You'll give me one more chance, girl
* I'll be there for you

These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
** I'd live and I'd die for you

Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we're had some good times

How they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And baby you know my hands are dirty

But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drink, I'll be the wine
*
**
And I wasn't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

QUEEN
In the year of thirty-nine assembled here the volunteers

In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
And the night followed day And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day Sailed across the milky seas
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried
* Don't you hear my call

Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grand-children knew
In the year of thirty-nine came a ship in from the blue

The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey, little darlin' well away
But my love this cannot be
Oh so many years have gone though i'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me
Don't you hear my call

Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All your letters in the sand
Cannot heal me like your hand
For my life's still ahead, pity me.

QUEEN
I want to break free

I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free

SAVE ME
QUEEN
It started off so well

They said we made the perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you
How I cried
The years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived the lie
"I love you 'til I die"
Save me Save me Save me

I can't face this life alone
I'm naked and I'm far from home
The slate will soon be clean

I'll erase the memories
To start again with somebody new
Was it all wasted
All that love ?
I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent

I can't face this life alone
Save me Save me
Oh I'm naked and I'm far from home
Each night I cry and still believe the lie

I love you 'til I die
Yea, yeah
Save me yeah Save me oh Save me
Don't let me face my life alone
Save me Save me
Oh I'm naked and I'm far from home

SPREAD YOUR WINGS
Queen
Sammy was low, His boss said to him

just watching the show, now listen boy, you're always dreaming,
over and over again. you got no real ambition,
He knew it was time, you won't get worried for.
he'd made up his mind, Sammy, boy don't you know who you are?
to leave his dead life behind. why can't you be happy,
at the emerald bar?
His boss said to him
boy, you'd better begin (So honey) spread you wings and fly away,
to get those crazy notions fly away, far away.
right out of your head spread your little wings and fly away,
Sammy who do you think that you are? fly away, far away.
You should have been sweeping, pull yourself together,
at the emerald bar. 'cause you know you should do better,
that's because your a free man.
spread your wings and fly away, come on honey (fly with me)...
fly away, far away.
Spread your little wings and fly away
fly away, far away.
Pull yourself together,
'cause you know you should do better,
that's because you're a free man.
He spends his evenings alone,

in his hotelroom.
Keeping his thoughts to himself,
he'd be leaving soon.
Wishing he was miles and miles away,
nothing in this world, nothing,
would make him stay.
Since he was small,

had no luck at all,
nothing came easy to him.
Now it was time,
he'd made up his mind,
this could be my last change

Somebody to Love
Queen
Can anybody find me somebody to love? Somebody - somebody

(anybody find me somebody to love?) Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little Got no feel, I got no rhythm
Can barely stand on my feet I just keep losing my beat

TOO MUCH LOVE WILL KILL YOU
Queen
I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be

Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone for much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me

About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong
*
Too much love will kill you,If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover, And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster, 'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you, Every time
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be

And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes

Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose
* Too much love will kill you,Just as sure as none at all

It'll drain the power that's in you, Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy, You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you,Every time
Too much love will kill you, It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you, And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
In the end.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
Queen
I've paid my dues

Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through
We are the champions my friends

And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions We are the champions
No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions of the world
I've taken my bows

And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses

No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
We are the champions my friend

And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'cause we are the champions of the (world)

IT'S A HARD LIFE
Queen
I don't want my freedom

There's no reason for living with a broken heart
This is a tricky situation

I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone
You win - you lose

It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
And now you say it's over and I'm falling apart
* It's a hard life, to be true lovers together

To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight, to learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
I try to mend the broken pieces

I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How it hurts - deep inside

When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
And I'm waiting for love
Yes it's a hard life, In a world that's filled with sorrow

There are people searching for love in ev'ry way
It's a long hard fight, But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love
- 142 -
THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Queen
Sometimes I get to feelin'

I was back in the old days- long ago
When we were kids when we were young
Thing seemed so perfect - you know
The days were endless we were crazy we were young
The sun was always shinin' - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know

The rest of my life's been just a show
* Those were the days of our lives

The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now
But one thing is true
When I look and I find
I still love you
You can't turn back the clock

You can't turn back the tide
Ain't that a shame
I'd like to go back one time
On a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game
No use in sitting and thinkin' on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know

Better sit back and go with the flow
** These are the days of our lives

They've flown in the swiftness of time
Those days are all gone now
But some things remain
When I look and I find no change
I still love you

One Year Of Love
Queen
Just one year of love

Is better than a lifetime alone,
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart,
It's always a rainy day without you,
I'm a prisoner of love inside you -
I'm falling apart all around you - yeah.
My heart cries out to your heart,

I'm lonely but you can save me,
My hand reaches out to your hand,
I'm cold but you light the fire in me,
My lips search for your lips,

I'm hungry for your touch,
There's so much left unspoken
And all I can do is surrender
And no one ever told me that love would hurt so much,

Oooh yes it hurts
And pain is so close to pleasure,
And all I can do is surrender to your love,
Just surrender to your love.
Just one year of love,

Is better that a lifetime alone,
One sentimental moment in your arms,
Is like a shooting star right through my heart,
It's always a rainy day without you,
I'm a prisoner of love inside you -
I'm falling apart all around you - yeah.
And all I can do is surrender.

Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Queen
This thing called love I just can't handle it

this thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love
This (This Thing) called love
(Called Love)
It cries (Like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (Woo Woo)
It jives (Woo Woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish,
I kinda like it
There goes my baby

She knows how to Rock n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat
I gotta be cool relax, get hip

Get on my track's
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready
I gotta be cool relax, get hip

Get on my track's
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready (Ready Freddie)
This thing called love I just can't handle it

this thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready

PLAY THE GAME
Queen
Open up your mind and let me step inside

rest your weary head and let your heart decide
It's so easy when you know the rules
It's so easy
all you have to do is fall in love
Play the game - everybody play the game

of love
When your feeling down and your resistance is low

Light another cigarette and let yourself go
This is your life - don't play hard to get
It's a free world
All you have to do is fall in love
Play the gameEverybody play the game of love
My game of love has just begun

Love runs from my head down to my toes
My love is pumping trough my veins
Driving me insane
Play the game

Everybody play the game of love
It's a free world
all you have to do is fall in love
Play the game of love

It's a free, free world
all you have to do is fall in love!

Amanda
BOSTON
Babe, tomorrow's so far away, There's somethin' I just have to say.

I don't think I could hide, What I'm feelin' inside
Another day, Knowin' I love you.
And I -- I'm getting' too close again, I don't wanna see it end.
If I tell you tonight, Will you turn out the light.
And walk away, Knowin' I love you?
* I'm gonna take you by surprise, And make you realize.

Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away, I can't wait another day.
Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man, And make you understand.
Amanda
I love you.
And, I feel like today's the day, I'm lookin' for the words to say.
Do you wanna be free, Are you ready for me
To feel this way? I don't wanna lose ya.
So it may be too soon I know, The feelin' takes so long to grow.

If I tell you today, Will you turn me away
And let me go? I don't wanna lose you.
You and I -- I know that we can't wait.

And I swear -- I swear it's not a lie girl,
Tomorrow may be too late.
You -- you and I girl -- we can share a life together.
It's now or never
And tomorrow may be too late.
And, feelin' the way I do,

I don't wanna wait my whole life through
To say I'm in love with you.

MORE THAN A FEELING
Boston
I looked out this morning,

and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
Then lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes, and I slipped away
CHORUS
It's more than a feeling
When I hear that old song they used to play
And I begin dreamin'
Till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
So many people have come and gone

Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky
CHORUS
When I'm tired and thinkin' cold

I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away
CHORUS

If I Sing You A Love Song
Bonnie Tyler
If I sing you a love song, will you always remember

Will you hear it on lonely nights when I'm not around
If I sing you a love song, will you hear it forever
To remind you how I care and how I needed you
Love songs last longer than lovers ever do

So baby, let me sing a love song for you
Love songs don't leave you but lovers often do
Oh baby, I'm afraid it could happen to me and you
If I sing you a love song, let it always be with you

When the others have gone away, let it still be there
Love songs last longer than lovers ever do

So baby, let me sing a love song for you
Love songs don't leave you like lovers often do
Oh baby, I'm afraid it could happen to me and you
Oh, oh romance
Oh, lonely nights when I’m not around
Baby, it’s a love song
So always remember on lonely nights
I’ll sing you a love song to keep you close to me

It's A Heartache
Bonnie Tyler
It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game

Nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown.
It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache.
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down.
It ain't right with love to share

When you find he doesn't care for you.
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you.

Changes
Black Sabbath
I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I lost the best friend
That I ever had
She was my woman

I loved her so
But it's too late now
I've let her go
I'm going through changes

We shared the eve's

We shared each day
In love together
We found a way
But soon the world

Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
Love went astray

It took so long
To realize
That I can still hear
Her last goodbyes
Now all my days

Are filled with tears
Wish I could go back
And change these years

- 151 -
ACHY BREAKY HEART
Billy Ray Cyrus
You can tell the world you never was my girl

You can burn my clothes when I'm gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
You can tell my arms, go back onto the phone

You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more
* But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart

I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
You can tell your Ma I moved to Arkansas

You can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff who's fist can tell my lips
He never really liked me anyway
Oh tell your aunt Louise, tell anything you please

Myself already knows that I'm not okay
Oh you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today
- 152 -
SHE'S NOT CRYING ANY MORE
Billy Ray Cyrus
She used to cry when I’d come home late

She couldn’t buy the lies I told
All she wanted was to be needed
Someone that she could call her own
The love I know I took for granted

Until she walked out of my door
Too little too late to say I’m sorry
She’s not crying any more
* She’s not crying any more

She ain’t lonely any lonter
There’s a smile upon her face
A new love takes my place
She’s not crying any more
I hear she’s really doing well now

She’s picked herself up off the ground
I wasn’t there when I was needed
But I was there to let her down
Sometimes you know I feel so foolish

If I knew then what I know now
Another tear would never all
Cos I’d give our love my all
If we could work things out somehow

EVERYTHING I DO, I DO IT FOR YOU
Bryan Adams
Look into my eyes - you will see

What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
Look into your heart - you will find

There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
You know it's true
There's no love - like your love

And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way
Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you
You know it's true

STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART
Bryan Adams
I could start dreamin' but it never ends

As long as you're gone we may as well pretend
I've been dreamin'
Straight from the heart
You say it's easy but who's to say

That we'd be able to keep it this way
But it's easier
Give it to me straight from the heart

Tell me we can make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's comin' straight from the heart
I'll see you on the street some other time

And all our words would just fall out of line
I was dreamin'

Tell me we can make another start
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

Tell me we can make one more start
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart
- 155 -
HEAVEN
Bryan Adams
Oh - thinkin' about all our younger years

There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me

We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more
* Baby you're all that I want

When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need

And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Oh - once in your life you find someone

Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Ya - nothin' could change what you mean to me

Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way
I've been waitin' for so long

For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true

Through the good times and the bad
Ya - I'll be standin' there by you
- 156 -
Forever And For Always
Shania Twain
In your arms I can still feel the way you,

want me when you hold me
I can still hear the words you whispered,
when you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms
* And there ain't no way --

I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way --
and there ain't no how
I'll never see that day....
** 'Cause I'm keeping you

forever and for always
We will be together all of our days
Wanna wake up every
morning to your sweet face--always
Mmmm, baby
In your heart--
I can still hear a beat for every time you kiss me
And when we're apart,
I know how much you miss me
I can feel your love for me in your heart
*
**
(I wanna wake up every morning)
In your eyes--
I can still see the look of the one who really loves me
The one who wouldn't put anything
else in the world above me
I can still see love for me in your eyes
*
**
I'm keeping you forever and for always
I'm in your arms

From This Moment On
Shania Twain
I just swear, That I'll aways be there

I give anything, And everything
And I will always care
Through weakness and strength
Happiness and sorrow
For better, for worse
I will love you
With every beat of my heart
From this moment life has begun

From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment, I have been blessed

I live only, for your happiness
And for your love, I give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart

I can't wait to live my life with you I can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
* From this moment, as long as I live

I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing, I wouldn't give
From this moment on
You're the reason I believe in love

And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
As long as I live from this moment on

Home Ain't Where His Heart Is Anymore
Shania Twain
He knew how to reach me deep inside

And he found a part of me I could not hide
And we'd walk and talk and touch tenderly
Then he'd lay me down and make love to me
We built a love so strong and couldn't break
There was not a road we were afraid to take
And we'd kiss all the way from Arkansas to Rome

'Cause in each other's arms we were home sweet home
But he don't feel the same

Since our lives became
Years of bills, babies and chains
Home ain't where his heart is anymore

He may hang his hat behind our bedroom door
But he don't lay his head down to love me like before
If foundations made of stone can turn to dust

Then the hardest hearts of steel can turn to rust
If he could only find that feeling once again
If we could only change the way the story ends
And he may still come home

But I live here alone
The love that built these walls is gone

He may hang his hat behind our bedroom door
But he don't lay his head down to love me like before
He don't lay his head down to love me like before

No, home ain't where his heart is
- 159 -
You're Still The One
Shania Twain
When I first saw you, I saw love

And the first time you touched me, I felt love
And after all this time, you're still the one I love
Looks like we made it

Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"

But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
* (You're still the one)

You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
** (You're still the one)

You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
Ain't nothin' better

We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"

But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
* & **
You're still the one
*
**
I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come my baby

You've Got A Way
Shania Twain
You've got a way with me

Somehow you got me to believe
In everything that I could be
I've gotta say you really got a way
You've got a way it seems

You gave me faith to find my dreams
You'll never know just what that means
Can't you see you got a way with me
* It's in the way you want me

It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love
You've got a way with words

You get me smiling even when it hurts
There's no way to measure what your love is worth
I can't believe the way you get through to me
*
Oh, how I adore you
Like no one before you
I love you just the way you are
*
It's just the way you are

No One Needs To Know
Shania Twin
Am I dreamin' or stupid?
I think I've been hit by Cupid
But no one needs to know right now
I met a tall, dark and handsome man
And I've been busy makin' big plans
I got my heart set, my feet wet

And he don't even know it yet
I'll tell him someday some way somehow

But I'm gonna keep it a secret for now
I want bells to ring, a choir to sing

The white dress the guests the cake the car the whold darn thing
I'll tell him someday some way somehow

But I'm gonna keep it a secret for now
We'll have a little girl a little boy

A little Benji we call Leroy
And I'm not lonely anymore at night

And he don't know only only he can make it right
And I'm not lonely anymore at night

And he don't know only only he can make it right
I'm not dreamin' or stupid

But boy have I been hit by Cupid
No one needs to know right now...

Is There Life After Love
Shania Twain
Every road had a rainbow

And every wish had a star
Every tear had a shoulder to cry on
And every night had guitars
But every fool's a lonely fool

And such a fool am I
'Cause every night I think of you
And every night I die
* Is there life after love?

Some things aren't certain
But some things I'm sure of
Like angels in heaven
And God up above
But is there life after love?
You gave me forgiveness

But you could not forget
No, I should never have told you
What I'll live to regret
The truth lies between us
And I can't take it back
No, it's too late for lyin' now
It's too late for that
Here I am, there you are

We're so far apart
Let's pretend that I've never been
In his hands, in his heart
Can't we just start
All over again?
Is there life after love?
- 163 -
The First Cut is the deepest
Sheryl Crow/Rod Stewart
I would have given you all of my heart

but there's someone who's torn it apart
and she's taking almost all that I've got
but if you want, I'll try to love again
baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know

The first cut is the deepest
'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know

I still want you by my side

just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
and if you want, I'll try to love again
but baby, I'll try to love again, but I know

'Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed

when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know

Always On My Mind
Elvis
Maybe I didn't treat you

Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind

(You were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you

All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I'm so sorry I was blind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died

Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

Holiday
Scorpions
Let me take you far away

You'd like a holiday
Exchange the cold days for the Sun

A good time and fun

Exchange your troubles for some love

Wherever you are
Longing for the Sun you will come

To the island without name
Longing for the Sun be welcome
On the island many miles away from home
Be welcome on the island without name
Longing for the Sun you will come
To the island many miles away from home

ALWAYS SOMEWHERE
Scorpions
Arrive at seven, the place feels good

No time to call you today
Encores till eleven then Chinese food
Back to the hotel again
I call your number, the line ain't free

I like to tell you, "Come to me"
A night without you seems like a lost dream
Love, I can't tell you how I feel
Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again
Always somewhere
Another morning, another place

The only day off is far away
But every city has seen me in the end
And brings me to you again
Always somewhere
Always somewhere
- 167 -
STILL LOVING YOU
Scorpions
Time, it needs time to win back your love again

I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love can bring back your love someday
Fight, babe, I'll fight to win back your love again

Love, only love can bring down the wall someday
* If we go again all the way from the start

I would try to change the things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong that I can't get through
Is there really no chance to start once again? I'm loving you
Try, baby, try to trust in my love again

Love, our love just shouldn't be thrown away
*
If we'd go again, all the way from the start
I would try to change the things that killed our love
Yes, I've hurt your pride, and I know what you've been through
You should give me a chance, this can't be the end
I'm still loving you

I'm still loving you
I'm still loving you, I need your love
I'm still loving you. Still loving you, baby
Still loving you, I need your love

I'm still loving you, I need your love
I'm still loving you , I need your love

I need your love

WHEN THE SMOKE IS GOING DOWN
Scorpions
Just when you make your way back home

I find some time to be alone
I go to see the place once more
Just like a thousand nights before
I climb the stage again this night

'Cause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down
This is the place where I belong

I really love to turn you on
I've got your sound still in my ear
While your traces disappear

LADY STARLIGHT
Scorpions
Walking through a winter night,

Counting the stars
And passing time
I dream about the summer days,
Love in the sun
And lonely bays
I see the stars, they’re miles and miles away

Like our love,
On one of these lonely winter nights
Dreaming through a winter night,

Memories of you are passing by
It seems to me like yesterday
I think you knew I couldn’t stay

Like our love
Lady starlight, help me to find my love
Lady starlight, help me tonight
Help me to find my love
Walking through a winter night,

Counting the stars
And passing time
Snow dances with the wind
I wish, I could be with you again

Like our love
Lady starlight, help me to find my love

Free Me
URIAH HEEP
* Free me
Free me
Why don't you free me, Free me from your spell
Come on and free me, Why don't you free me
Come on and free me, Free me from your spell.
Why should I worry that you might not love

you're not the only love that I've ever had.
Your sweet memory will always comfort me
So why should I be feeling sad
As far as I can tell you knew so well

I was always at the end of the line
I've loved you as much, as any man can
But not enough to make you mine
So long easy rider, I know I'll miss you for a while

But sooner or later, I know that I'll forget you
And I tell your baby
We let a good love die.We let it pass us by

Through you tried to keep me hanging on
But with all this doubt It'll never work out
So tomorrow I'll be travelling on
And saying so long easy rider, I know I'll miss you for a while
But sooner or later, I know that I'll forget you
Free me
Oh baby' come on and free me
Free me . . .

Come Back To Me
uRIAH hEEP
Alone again, I feel so alone again

With this emptiness, I just can't hide
Picture me with a broken heart
See the tears run down my face.
* (Ev'rything I had has gone) Ev'rything is gone

loneliness still lingering on
ev'rytime I thought was mine
come back to me
can't we try it one more time
come back to me.
I know I'll find another love in time

but you'll always be there in the back of my mind
the power of love can bring such pain
I still love, yea
I just love you
Alone again I'm so alone again

with nothing, nothing but you on my mind
Can't you see what you've done to my life
what can I do to win you back again ?
Take a piece of my heart

baby
come back to me, come back to me
don't you know, that I love you girl
come back to me, come back to me

don't you know, that I love you, babe
come back to me
come back to me
...
w can you close and fail
how can the light that burns

I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE IS
Foreigner
I've gotta take a little time

A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Ohhhh
Oo oh oh oh oh
Now this mountain I must climb

Feels like the world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there´s been heart-ache and pain

I don´t know if I can face it again
Can´t stop now
I´ve travelled so far
To change this lonely life
Chorus
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I´m gonna take a little time

A little time to look around me
I´ve got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life there´s been heartache and pain

I don´t know if I can face it again
Can´t stop now
I´ve travelled so far to change this lonely life
Chorus 5X

TEMPLE OF THE KING
Rainbow
One day in the year of the fox

Came a time remembered well
When the strong young man of the rising sun
Won the tolling of the big black bell
One day in the year of the fox

When the bell began to ring (sing)
It meant the time had come for one to go
To the temple of the king
There in the middle of the circle, he stands

Searching, seeking
With just one touch of his trembling hand
The answer will be found
There it lies and waits while the old man sings
Heaven, help me
And then like a rush of a thousand wings
It shines upon the one
And the day has just begun
There in the middle of people, he stands

Seeing, feeling
With just the wave of a strong right hand
He's gone to the temple of the king
Far from the circle of the edge of the world
He's hoping wondering
Seeking back from the stories he's heard
Of what he's going to see
And there in the middle of the circle it lies
Heaven, help me
But all could see by the shine in his eyes
The answer has been found
Back with the people in the circle, he stands

Giving, feeling
With just one touch of a strong right hand
They know of the temple and the king

When all our tears have reached the sea,

a part of you will live in me,
way down inside my heart.
The days keep coming without fail,

a new winds gonna find your sail,
and that's where your journey starts,
you'll find better love,

strong as it ever was,
deep as a river runs,
warm as the morning sun.
Please remember me.
Just like the waves down by the shore,

we're gonna keep on coming back for more,
cause we don't ever wanna stop.
Out in this brave new world you see,
only the valleys and the peaks,
I can see you on the top,

Please remember me.
Remember me when you're out walking,

when snow falls high outside your door,
late at night when you're not sleeping,
and moonlight falls across your floor.
When I can't hurt you anymore,

Please remember me.
Please remember me.

Soldier Of Fortune
Deep Purple
I have often told you stories

About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay
But I feel I'm growing older

And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Many times I've been a traveller

I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thougt my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here
Now I feel I'm growing older

And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Yes, I can hear the sound

Street Of Dreams
Rainbow
I heard the sound of voices in the night

Spellbound there was someone calling
I looked around no one was in sight
Pulled down and I just kept on falling
I've seen this place before

You were standing by my side
I've seen your face before tonight
Maybe I just see what I want it to be
I know it's a mystery
* Do you remember me on a street of dreams

Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
There you stood a distant memory

So good like we never parted
Said to myself I knew you'd set me free
And here we are right back where we started
** Something's come over me

And I don't know what to feel
Maybe this fantasy is real
Now I know I see what I want it to be
But it's still a mystery
*
You are on every face I see
On the street of dreams
**
*
Tell me have you always been, On the street of dreams
Will we ever meet again my friend, Do you know just what it meand to be
On the street of dreams, Never know just who you'll see do ya
On the street of dreams, You can be who you want to be oh yeah
I can hear you calling me, I can feel you haunting me
Haunting me

MY BROKEN SOUVENIR
Pussycat
For each moment of tears

I still had my souvenirs
Cherished in a pocket full of dreams
I could hold I could feel
Kept pretending they were real
Long time after lovers stayed away.
Now a picture of you
I had cherished so true
Even kissed 'till I'd seen you again
But when
I've been crying today

Threw my memories away
Something died as I cried
For my broken souvenirs.
Can I reach for the sun
Find a place I belong
Now you're one of my
broken souvenirs.
If you'll need me again

There's no way you really can
Pasted pieces never make a whole
And if you leave your room
On some windy afternoon
Try to see where all the pieces flew.
It was hard to get on
Since my memories were gone
But if you'll ever see me again
I can
I've been crying today

LET IT BE ME

I bless the day I found you

Don’t take this heaven from one

Each time we make love

So never leave me lonely

I was dancing with my darling

I remember the night

Almost heaven, West Virginia,

Country roads, take me home

All my mem'ries gather around her

I hear her voice in the morning as she calls me,

Well I knew a place

I closed the door

When we climb up stairway to heaven

Down the bay where the nights are grey

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way

SoundS of laughter everywhere

* Can you hear me, can you hear me

We are sailing, we are sailing

She was only sixteen, only sixteen

We'd laugh and we'd sing and do funny things

Why did I give my heart so fast

She was only sixteen, only sixteen

* Hang down your head Tom Dooley

This time tomorrow

This time tomorrow

Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play

All my loving, I will send to you

All my loving, I will send to you

Jambalaya and crawfish pie and fillet gumbo

Thibodaux, fountaino, the place is buzzin'

Settled down far from town, get me a pirogue

Someone told me long ago, there's a calm before the storm

Yesterday and day before, sun is cold and rain is hard

The last thing on my mind

Oh! Darling! Please believe me

Oh! Darling! If you leave me

When you told me

Oh! Darling! If you leave me

Oh! Darling! Please believe me

When I find myself in times of trouble

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

And when all the broken hearted people

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

And when the night is cloudy

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

I can tell by your eyes

I don't wanna talk about it

If I stand all alone

(repeat chorus and fade)

I hear footsteps slowly walkin'

There goes my reason for living

As my mem'ry turns back the pages.

When I feel blue in the night

I can make you mine

I need you so that I could die

The old home town looks the same as

Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching

Tho' the paint is cracked and dry

Then I awake and look around me,
