A Black & White Night Live

Roy orbison

Uptown, in penhouse number three
Uptown, there lives a doll just made for me
She's the finest thing that you've ever seen, oh ho ha

Uptown, i see her most every day
Uptown, but she never ever looks my way
I'm just a bellhop, you see i can't stop
And tell her what i wanna say

That one of these days, i'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever-lovin' honey
It won't be long, just wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes
And then i'll be
Uptown, in penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me

Yeah, one of these days, i'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever-lovin' honey
It won't be long, just wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes
And then i'll be
Uptown, in penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me

Roy: i was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
Kd: but i saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
When you stopped to say hello
Roy: you wished me well
You couldn't tell that
I've been crying over you,
Crying over you and you said "so long"
Left me standing all alone,
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying
It's hard to understand
Kd: but the touch of your hand can start me crying

Roy: i thought that i was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more than i did before
But darling, what can i do?
For you don't love me
Kd: and i'll always be
Crying over you, crying over you

Roy: yes now you're gone
Both: and from this moment on, i'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying over you

Come on baby, let me take you by the hand
Come on sugar, let me take you by the hand
Go for me, let me be,
All your own candy, your candy, candy man

Come on baby, i love your honey lovin ways
Baby sweet thing, i love your honey lovin, your honey lovin ways
Come to me, let me be
All your own candy, your candy, candy man

Come on woman, gonna treat you right
Give you candy kisses every single night

Candy man, candy man, candy man, candy man,

Go for me, let me be
All your own candy, your candy, candy man.

i feel so bad i've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since i left my baby behind on blue bayou

Saving nickels, saving dimes, working 'till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times on blue bayou
I'm going back some day come what may to blue bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on blue bayou

All those fishing boats with their sails afloat if i could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy i'd be

Go to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe i'd be happy then on blue bayou

I'm going back some day, gonna stay on blue bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on blue bayou
Oh, that girl of mine by my side the silver moon and the evening tide
Oh, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin' inside
I'll never be blue, my dreams come true on blue bayou

only the lonely
(r.orbison/melson)

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely

Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the way i feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know this feelin' ain't right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart

But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Know the heartaches i've been through
Only the lonely
Know i cried and cried for you

Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance - you gotta take
If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah

when i want u in my arms when i want u and all your charms whenever i want u
All i have to do is drea-ea-ea-m,dream,dream,dream
When i feel blue in the night and i want u to hold me tight whenever i want u
All i have to do is drea-ea-ea-m
I can make u mine taste your lip some wine anytime night or day
Only trouble is gee whiz(?)
I'm dreamin' my life away

I need u so that i could die i love u so
And that is why whenever i want u all i have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-m,dream,dream,dream,drea-ea-ea-m,dream,dream
Whenever i want u all i have to do is drea-ea-ea-m
I need u so that i could die i love u so and that is why whenever i want u all
I have to do is drea-ea-ea-m,dream,dream,dream,drea-ea-ea-m
Dream,dream
Whenever i want u all i have to do is drea-ea-ea-m.........

(elvis costello)

I sat there alone upon the ferris wheel
A pastel colored carriage in the air
I thought you'd leave me dangling for a little while
A silly twist upon a childish dare

Below i saw you whispering to another man
Who held the lever that could bring me down
He'd stop the world from turning at your command
It's always something cruel that laughter drowns

And i'm up while the dawn is breaking
Even though my heart is aching
I should be drinking a toast
To absent friends
Instead of these comedians

I can hardly hear the music from the carousel
The wind picks up, the carriage starts sway
As one by one the lights go out
It's closing time
I see you take his hand and walk away walk away

They say that you will always be the last to know
They say that all that glitters is not gold
It's not just that you're never coming back to me
It's the bitter way that i was told

And i'm up while the dawn is breaking
Even though my heart is aching
I should be drinking a toast
To absent friends
Instead of these comedians
