Pistolero pistolero.where do you ride? pistolero pistolero.you ride alone tonight.
One of brothers five one day vowed to try to make his way,
Joined the cattle drive to mexico.threw in with some bandidos,
Here he learned the lingo. killed the man they call him pistolero.
Five thousand pesos they put on your head.
Five thousand pesos to get you alive or dead.
Ride on ride hard in vaquero, fast as you can to her side.
Ah, but por mucho dinero, el noveno por nada have died.

Pistolero pistolero.where do you roam? pistolero pistolero.on your way home.
Everytime a candle burns, waiting there for your return.
The candle is out pistolero.i see the cabin down below.
Pistolero let her go.tonight you're mine pistolero.
Five thousand pesos they put on your head.
Five thousand pesos to get you alive or dead.
Ah pistolero look around you.your son has set in the sky.
Oh pistolero i found you, kiss maria tell maria goodbye.
Pistolero pistolero, lay your head down.
Pistolero pistolero, six feet underground.

Jolie...
Jolie, jolie my cherie
Pretty little french girl i met in paris

Throwing me her kisses from her balcony

And charm from her head to her feet
Really my jolie was neat
Golly my jolie was sweet

Jolie, jolie my cherie
Wish i had my jolie over here with me

She had come hither eyes
And charm from her head to her feet
Really my jolie was neat
Golly my jolie was sweet

Wish i had my jolie over here with me

Wish i hadn't left her over in paris
On her balcony
Jolie my cherie
Jolie, jolie, jolie, jolie...

"roy orbison wants to get together again"

Baby, how it hurts to break up, but it's so much fun to make up
Let's do the things we used to do, you love me and i love you
Let's talk again, joke again let's get together for a coke again

Things go better with coca cola, things go better with coke
Let's relive the date that we just broke, our favorite cafe, the special of the day
The jukebox playing, things go better with coke

Well, waiter, waiter, treat us right, you remember what we like
She's back again, by my side again, waiter, we want to feel alive again

Things go better with coca cola, things go better with coke
I;m glad we kept the date we almost broke, our favorite cafe, the special of the day
The jukebox playing, things go better with coke

Things go better with coke #2

The real live one puts extra fun in you and everything you do
Big man, let me take a five minute break, things go better with coke, things go better with coke

And i never get tired of the taste"

Here comes that song again
They're playing that song again
I guess it will never end
They're playing it again

Here comes that song again
Here comes that old ache again
The story of my life begins
They're telling it again

I'll have to leave
I can't bear it anymore
There must be a place where
They'll play a different score

Here comes that song again
The jukebox must have found a friend
My heart will never mend
They're playing it again

Here comes that song again
The jukebox must have found a friend
My heart will never mend
They're playing it again

I walk down to the blue side of town
Where there's no happiness, no joy
Down at the end of a long dark street
I saw a little paper boy

Paper boy paper boy
I've got bad news for you
Paper boy paper boy
Me and my baby are through

She was my love my one and only
I feel so bad i'm oh so lonely
I'm looking for my love

I've got my own headlines for today
They've been the same since she went away
"one dark haired angel disappears
Seems like she's been gone a million years"

Paper boy paper boy
So long goodbye
Paper boy paper boy
Thanks for listening while i cry

I feel a little better now that someone knows
But i will go on looking forever, i suppose
I'm looking for my love

Extra extra read all about it
My baby's gone and i wanna shout it
I'm looking for my love
I'm looking for my love
I'm looking for my love
I'm looking for my love....

(eddie raven)

I read your letter just this morning
The first you've wrote since you've been gone
You've finally found yourself a home

You've bought a new car, a great big red one
With a top that rolls right down
You must be something in san fransisco
A dressed up, painted country clown

You're fakin' it well, but it's easy to tell
You're plain jane country come to town
The pace is too fast and you're out of your class
You're plain jane country come to town

You know i love you, at least you ought to
I've loved you all of my livin' days
You got no business makin' changes
Yeah girl, i love your country ways

Go sell that red car, catch an airplane
And i'll be waiting when you land
Yeah, get a white dress, find a preacher
We'll get some rings to fit your hand

You're fakin' it well, but it's easy to tell
You're plain jane country come to town
The pace is too fast and you're out of your class
You're plain jane country come to town
You're plain jane country come to town
You're plain jane country come to town

Hometown sweetheart.hung around in the dark.
Only make a move or two.i was just a young fool.
Never been to night school, didn't know enough to be cool.

So she found another lover, they went undercover.
The way she stole my heart was a crime
In order to keep the peace callin' out the police
Find her'fore i lose my mind.

The woman i love done gone and left me, no.
She's got a bad big record on the heartbreak radio.

A complete investigation, what's her destination.
Did she leave a trace at all?
Book on her suspicion.just look at my condition.
She left me here to take the fall.

That girl she sure can play it rough.she oughta be in handcuffs.
Make her wear a ball'n chain.oh, she's just a heart stealer.
Sweetest kind'a love dealer.she knows how to flix a game.

The woman i love done gone and left me, no.
She got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio.

Lonely hearts in distress. calling out an sos.
All across the u.s of a. come on back and serve your time.
Right here in these arms of mine. gotta have you home today.

Fbi, cid, help me, help me,help me please.

The one i love has gone and left me alone.
She got a bad big record on the heartbreak radio.
The one i love has gone and left me alone.
She got a bad big record on the heartbreak radio.
The one i love has gone and left me alone.
She got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio.
She got a bag bad record on the heartbreak radio.

Roy orbison/norman petty

A young couple stood under stars in the sky
They pledged their love with tears in their eyes
For this was a true love goodbye

They stood there trembling and couldn't speak
She tip toed and kissed his cheek
For this was a true love goodbye

A true love goodbye, they tried not to cry
With words so true, they both said "i love you"

Then they parted both broken hearted
But they'll meet again some day some way
Beyond this true love goodbye

A true love goodbye, they tried not to cry
With words so true, they both said "i love you"

Then they parted both broken hearted
But they'll meet again some day some way
Beyond this true love goodbye
True love, true love goodbye
Bye my love....

My time has come the clouds are calling.
December wind has came my way.
And now i feel the world falling.
All at once, it's too late.
Life fades away.

The night is my day.
All thoughts slip away
And even though, i must leave you.
Remember i love you.
I'll always be in your memories.
I will always be with you when i'm gone.

Hey, life fades away.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah.
Life fades away.

I'm tired on tomorrow.lost for today.
I long to be at peace forever.
My dull peace
And even though, i will miss you.
I must leave you.

Hey, life fades away.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah.
Life fades away.

So please forgive me.and try not to cry.
I long to be at peace forever more.
Forever more.

Oh yeah, yeah , yeah ,yeah ,yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah ,yeah , yeah, yeah.
Life fades away.
Life fades away.
Life fades away.away.

One last thing to say
Life fades away.

Sadness slips into the room
On silent steps of sorrow
Stealing sleep and all my dreams
Where will we be tomorrow?

Lying with you, crying with you, drifting
Talking till dawn yet we go on, drifting
Don't understand where we began just drifting apart
Drifting apart feeling alone drifting away

We can't seem to work it out
Drifting from day to day
Wasn't it all about, drifting away
Drifting away, drifting away

Losing the feeling
And now the music of the song is almost gone
That we used to play
From sweet surrender from drifting away, drifting

Two lovers lost two rivers crossed, drifting
Two bridges burned, no lesson learned, drifting
Lonely together, hurting each other
Still we can't say that it's over
Can we bring back yesterday?
Will we be forever, forever drifting away
Drifting, drifting away

Orbison/melson/rush

I used to be so shy
I'd just sit home and cry
And wish that i could die
Till lately, my oh my
I met that certain guy
He makes me feel so alive

Well i wake up every mornin' in a different world
I look in the mirror and i say "hey girl
Oh well, you're comin' out of your shell"

I say to myself "hey sue
There's such a change in you
For you're no longer blue
Since he made your dreams come true
So suzie, sue, suzie q
What are you gonna do?"

Gonna treat my baby like a king
For him i'd do most anything
Ah suzie, ring-a-ding-ding-ding

Suzie girl, i can tell
You're completely out of your shell
Ah suzie, you're doing swell

(the pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue)



Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Wrap your presents to your darling from you

Pretty pencils to write i love you

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue



Crowded street, busy feet, hustle by him

Downtown shoppers, christmas is nigh

There he sits all alone on the sidewalk

Hoping that you won't pass him by



Should you stop? better not, much too busy

You're in a hurry, my how time does fly

In the distance the ringing of laughter

And in the midst of the laughter he cries



Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Wrap your presents to your darling from you

Pretty pencils to write i love you

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

It's the bonnie and clyde days
Where the girls wear curls and lace
And the boys can't stand the pace of war

It's not the war but the cause the country's fighting for
The seed of discontent is sown
They're burning card back home, back home

The old folks just can't ignore
The posters with ink anymore
I'm not sure what to think

Now i wonder why i'm on this foreign shore
To find peace of mind
For now i walk alone
Amd it's no better to leave than stay
And give more than i had to give

My life was not my own the wife i've never known
I may never know i may never go back home
To the land of the free, back home
To the land of the free back home
Would there be a place for me back home back home?

Well i always wonder why
Will they take me when i die back home

Roy orbison

Defeated, defeated
Defeated i've been
Defeated, defeated
I didn't win your love

I've played the game, my love was true
But just the same, i still love you

Defeated, defeated
Now i know the score
Defeated, defeated
Yet i love you even more

My opponent was lucky, didn't even try
Guess i'm a bad loser, that is why i cry
The game was fun, but oh, how i know
I should have won, i need you so

Defeated, defeated
The game is through
I've been defeated
But i'm still in love with you

as the strippers,flyin through the valley,is that friend in memory we made, is
A true friend we have lost, we remember the king.
We remember,we remember the king
We recall,we recall everything,
We will tresaure all of the gifts,that he did bring
We remember the king.

Coo coo, that's you, wonder why i love you, you do voodoo, thunder clouds above you
Crazy, kooky, lazy spooky, oh what a clown, always around
And i have found you're a woman. child woman. woman child

Long legged woman when i see you walking you look good
Hey little woman when i hear you talking you sound good
Child woman, woman child you're driving me wild child woman woman child
You're into my mind then you're out of my mind child woman
You wind and unwind my mind, time after time child woman ooh child woman, yeah child woman

Flying uptight, don't know where you're going, trying your kite when the wind is blowing
Funny lady, sunny, shady off to the fair, sun in your hair
Oh, you're aware you're a woman child woman, woman child
Strong minded woman when you start groovin' you look fine
My kind of woman when you start movin' you look fine

Child woman, woman child you're driving me wild child woman woman child
I don't see you there, i see you everywhere child woman
I don't even care -yes, i really do care child woman, ooh child woman,
Hey child woman child woman, woman child

Cry softly lonely one
It's over, it's said, it's done
Don't let your heart break down
He's not the only one
So you're blue, and lonely too
Don't fall apart
And when the teardrops start
You can cry;cry to me girl
Cry;cry to me girl
I'll be standing by
I will dry your eyes
But for now, cry softly lonely one

Cry softly lonely one
Your heartaches have just begun
And though they linger on
Carry on, be strong

You're baby's gone, left you alone
But i'll stand by you
On the long nights through
You can cry, cry to me girl
C'mon and cry, cry to me girl

From this moment on
Don't cry all alone
You can run to me;come to me
You can cry to me
Tonight and forever,lonely one

(orbison/melson)
My life changes all the time.
Things were diff'rent when you were mine.
You loved me yesterday.
Now these changes have come to stay.
There have been changes,
So many changes along the way.
(too many changes,changes in the way).
(so many changes,changes in the how).
(to many changes, changes when you cry).

Time brings changes,right or wrong.
I still love you, but now you're gone.

Maybe someday love will come,
But who can say what kind of changes,
What kind of changes come my way.
(too many changes come along).
(too many changes,leaving me alone).
(so many changes,now that you are gone).

(orbison/dees)

When i was a boy i ran among the flowers
Looking left and right at the bright array
I played through the spring, whiled away the hours
Lingered with the flowers every day

Flowers, pretty flowers, flowers, life's bouquet
Flowers, pretty flowers, flowers, along the way

Flowers, pretty flowers, flowers, life's bouquet
Flowers, pretty flowers, flowers, along the way

When the summer ends and the storms of life are over
When the winter comes and the petals fall away
They may write it on my stone, "he was just a roller
But he stopped to pick some flowers along the way"

Flowers, pretty flowers, flowers, life's bouquet
Flowers, picked some flowers, along the way

Sleepy head isn't it time that you were in your bed?
The sandman will be coming soon, with a dream or two
Perhaps tomorrow they will all come true

Ooh sleepy head whispering all the things that we left unsaid
And so it's time to make your weary way into a brand new day, tomorrow

The little pigs were certain that the wolf was here to stay
But in your dreams you'll chase that wolf away

Hey sleepy head the princess has been saved and the dragon's dead
Goodnight, and may god keep you in his sight
Safe until the early light, sleepy head, sleepy head, sleepy head.....

I left nabraska lookin' at sundown, needin' a shave and a bath
Wyoming night time could be a comedown, where do i go for a relapse?
Cheyanne, cheyanne

Goofin' with the bar fly.pretty little green eyes sure can throw a smile
Head's in the right place, baby's got a sweet face, falls down western style

Cheyanne, cheyanne get me high an' keep me that way
Cheyanne, cheyanne still try an' steal my heart away
Cheyanne, cheyanne

Annie is a cowgirl, a here and now girl, she says she can make me her man
She showed me how, i said "oh wow" i'll come again when i can

To cheyanne, cheyanne, get me high an' steal my heart away
Cheyanne, cheyanne stop your cryin', cos i'm here to stay

There's got to be a morning after, if we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the sunshine let's keep on looking for the light
Oh can't you see the morning after? it's waiting right outside the storm
Why don't we cross the bridge together and find a place that's safe and warm?

It's not too late, we should be giving, only with love can we we climb
It's not too late, not while we're living, let's put our hands out in time
There's got be a morning after, we're moving closer to the shore
I know we'll be there by tomorrow and we'll escape the darkeness
We won't be searching anymore

There's got be a morning after, we're moving closer to the shore
I know we'll be there by tomorrow and we'll escape the darkeness
We won't be searching anymore

You've got a party heart, a gay time party heart
You're only happy when the party's going on
And it makes me sad because i know that party's have to end
And when this party's over, you'll be gone

I love your party heart your playful party heart
But though you make me laugh you also make me cry
Cos i know you only think of me as just a party friend
And when the party's done you'll say goodbye

A playtime girl like you plays lots of thrills in life it seems
But oh, what i'd ever give to be the playboy of your dreams
I'd tame your party heart, your fickle party heart
And someday that's just what some party boy will do

But i love you so, i guess that i'll cry just as much as you
When someone breaks your party heart in two
When someone breaks your party heart in two
When someone breaks your party heart in two....

(roy orbison)

I'm losin my mind completely
From you telling lies so sweetly
Breaking my heart too neatly
I give up

You told me that you once loved me
And you placed yourself above me
Now i know you never loved me
I give up

I give up i'm through with trying
I give up i'm through with your lying
I give up i'm through with you
I give up i've done all i can do

I don't want to share tommorrow
I don't want your love to borrow
My life is filled with sorrow
I give up

I give up i'm through with trying
I give up i'm through with your lying
I give up i'm through with you
I give up i've done all i can do

I don't want to share tommorow
My life is filled with sorrow
I don't want your love to borrow
I give up

There's a cat in town that you might know
He goes by the name of domino
A long tweed jacket and a diamond ring
A blue sport car, he's a crazy king
They love him so that cat called domino, domino, domino

Well the girls all think that he's a real gone guy
They all flip when he walks by
Shanty clothes and cool white shoes
He's rearm' to go and never sings the blues
They love him so that cat called domino, domino, domino

He's got cool black hair and a solid style
Long side-bums and a crazy smile
A thousand girls, they'll tell you so
They dig that cat called domino
They love him so that cat called domino, domino, domino
Well domino, cool man go, domino, they love him so
Get out of the way, here comes domino, domino, domino

Chris and dan price

You were there when it started i remember it all so well
The lights for my stage were coming on at last

I waited for so long to have my chance at fortune
I guess i forgot about you

The light from the glitter blinded me, and i went after all who came
There were many ladies there all looking for me

They all seemed to love my singin', their beauty kept my head a-ringin'
I guess i forgot about you

The lights that were so bright started to flicker the ones that said they cared slowly disappeared
But who was there when i needed help? the one i'd forgotten all about, you were there

Yes, you were there through everything you believed me from the start
I don't see how i could have been so blind

It took me all this time to realise my fortune,all along it was you, all along it was you

The night is still the wind is chilled
I hear the rain falling on my window pane

Can't close my eyes, afraid to sleep
Cause when i do i would only dream of you

I'm trying to forget that we ever met
But how can i forget and dream of you?

Afraid to sleep because i'd dream of you
Afraid to sleep because i'd wake up feeling blue
If i stay awake forever,we'd never be together
So i'll close my eyes and go ahead and dream

Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Sweer dreams....

Rils/rice/fields

You lay so easy on my mind oh so easy on my mind
Whenever i need you, all i ever do is close my eyes
You lay so easy on my mind yes, so easy on my mind
Wrap me in your warmness, let me feel your body touching mine

Everything you say and do finds me wanting you
Each moment brings to light a million dreams
Having something real is something i can feel
When i feel you, angel, touching me

You lay so easy on my mind oh so easy on my mind
There's not a part of me your sweet love won't reach to satisfy

Everyday i love you more, you're the one i'm living for
And the best you'll ever give you've given me
You completely satisfy every need inside
I pray you'll never take your love from me

You lay so easy on my mind oh so easy on my mind
There's not a part of me, your sweet love wont reach to satisfy
You lay so easy on my mind

Recorded 1961 by mark dinning

Each time i hear some poor girl cry
See the tears in her eyes
It always breaks my heart in two
When there's nothing i can do for her
She's just another lonely girl

If i could take them one by one
And teach them how to have lots of fun
Make them fall in love with me
Mmm mmm, there'd never be another lonely girl
Another lonely girl, another lonely girl
Mmm mmm, there'd never be another lonely girl

Now it's not fair that they should cry
And be so all alone
Love should treat them tenderly
Never treat them wrong
Ooh no, there should never be another lonely girl

I know how it feels to love someone
I know how it feels to part
So if some lonely girl gives me her heart
I'll never break her heart

Oh no, she'll never be another lonely girl
Another lonely girl, another lonely girl
Mmm mmm, there'd never be another lonely girl

We never walk we never talk
We never find the time to be close again
There it goes again

Communication breakdown

Too much concern for money to burn
Too many things to do now you don't need me
And i don't need you
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

One by one they fail now the leaves our lover
Cling to the ground
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

Too much too soon too much temptation
In a hurry it's a sad situation
Too much worry i can tell well it's over now
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

There it goes
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

When it's right, it's all right
When it's wrong, it's all wrong
When it's gone, it's all gone
It's too late

You betrayed me after all
Built me up to let me fall
I still love you after all
Mmm, after all

After all is said and done
All the teardrops, all the fun
Guess you're still the only one
After all

After all, i want you
And i need you so
After all, all we've been through
There you go, oh-oh-oh, i...

I leave you now with some regret
And though i can't forget
I still bless the day we met
After all

After all, i want you
And i need you so
After all, all we've been through
There you go, oh-oh-oh, so...

So goodbye, and here's to you
Even though you made me blue
I still wish the best for you
After all

(newbury)

Here comes the rain baby
Guess it's goodbye again baby
For awhile it was fun, we could walk in the sun
But you never could stand the rain, could you baby.

See the rain in my eyes, baby
I never could stand goodbyes, baby
For awhile you were mine
But the sun can't always shine
And you never could stand the rain could you baby.

[whistling interlude]

For awhile you were mine
But the sun can't always shine
And you never could stand the rain could you baby.

I tried to keep the rain from falling
You know i tried to keep the rain from falling
It's not the rain in the skies
It's the rain in my eyes
That won't ever stop falling, baby.

Flowers have blooms, the oceans have waves.

Were the nights any sweeter
The mornings any cooler, when she was here?
Or was the mind grown accustomed to hearing "good morning dear"?

Should i still feel all the sunshine
That remembering brings to mind with my thoughts of her?
Lord, we both know things could never be the way they were

Her little girl illusions
Built the wall of confusion between right and wrong
That stands between her and the dream i had cherished so long

Now faded and tattered, once all that mattered when she was here
And a mind grown accustomed to hearing "good morning dear"

Were the nights any sweeter
The mornings any cooler, when she was here?
Or was the mind grown accustomed to hearing "good morning dear"?

Bill dees

There's a place i call sleepy hollow
Where i go when you're not around
There's a brook running clear in the meadow
I lose my blues in it's sound

The wind and the trees from the hollow
Whisper secrets of life in my ear
When i lay down in their shadows
I dream that you're still here

The bubbling babbling brook is your laughter
The wind blowing softly,your touch
I've found the one thing i'm after
Your love, your love means so much

Until you say that you love me
And make all my dreams come true
I'll go down to my sleepy hollow
And dream my dreams of you
I'll go down to my sleepy hollow
And dream my dreams of you

Roy orbison

I'm falling, i'm falling
Falling in love with you

Baby, come closer closer to me, and listen listen so carefully
Remember all the nights that i told you that i loved you
It wasn't true,i used you,and you were just someone new

To thrill this lonely heart of mine
I was lying all the time
Pretending to be falling in love with you
But it's different now, i've kissed you now
So forgive me forgive me somehow

Hold me tight for tonight, then tell me truth
If you still love me, say that you love me
Don't leave me now

Now that i'm falling for you
I'm falling, i'm falling
Falling in love, falling in love with you

Weit im suden, leigt ein hafen
Es war vunderbar, dort vor einem jahr
Tausend wunder, dort im hafen sind die grunde
Das ich bald, nach suden fahr

San fernando, san fernando
Ich komm weider, wenn die rosen wieder bluhn
San fernando, gruss maria
Gruss die sterne und die liebesmelodien

Weit im suden, leigt ein hafen
Der voll zauber ist, den man nei verygisst
Doch das schonste, doch im hafen
Sind die lippen, die mich tausendmal gekusst

San fernando, san fernando
Ich komm weider, wenn die rosen wieder bluhn
San fernando, gruss maria
Gruss die sterne und die liebesmelodien

The woman is out on her own.
Walking the streets, sad and alone.
Yes she sells herself for nickles and dimes.
These are hard times for a harlem woman.
Harlem woman.

Yes you work at night.i have held you tight.
But you're not aware of how much i care.

No you can't see your baby's been hungry and cold.
So long nights through, go on and do what you must do,
I love you.i love you harlem woman.
Harlem woman.

Sometimes i cry, but i'll get by till your mine alone.
So carry on to other arms,tender but strong.
Till you belong to me

Harlem woman hang on.
I'll take you away.
Someday i'll set you free to be with only me.

Till then i'll know,...
Lord knows, i'll know
They can buy the body
But not the soul of my harlem woman
Harlem woman, harlem woman
Hang on

(words & music by walker - arnold)

You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And i can hardly speak, my heart is beating so
And anyone could tell, you think you know me well
But you don't know me
No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
To you i'm just a friend, and that's all i've ever been
No, you don't know me

For i never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy i let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me and then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
To never, never know the one who loves you so
No, you don't know me

Well i've been to a lot of places and i've seen a lot of things
But i ain't never found the girl of my dreams
Been coast to coast and back again but i'm as lonely as i've been

New york, 'frisco too, old chicago, even st.lou'
Been to dallas and new orleans
But i ain't never found the girl of my dreams

Well i don't know where and where and don't know when
This lookin' for love will ever end, but i'll keep searchin' everywhere
Mmm to find a love that'll really care

New york, 'frisco too, old chicago, even st.lou'
Been to dallas and new orleans
But i ain't never found the girl of my dreams

Well i rambled around and i never met the one true love you can't forget
So i travel on from town to town, oh, until my sweetheart can be found

Boudleaux bryant

It seems to me that love will drive me crazy
It's not at all what i thought it would be
Instead of being happy, i'm wild with jealousy
Afraid someone will steal your heart from me

It seems to me that all the boys adore you
And you don't know what torture that can be
Our love is filled with sweetness
But it's mixed with misery
At least that's how it seems to me

Our love is filled with sweetness
But it's mixed with misery
At least that's how it seems to me

Baby it's hard sometimes to wake and face this life everyday.
Sometimes it's bad enough to stop and through the good all away.
Tonight let's put the world aside and let go toghether.
The night is one place we can hide in each others arms.
Dream on forever.

Come on baby,and we'll take the night.
While the stars are willing and the moon is right.
Dreams are shining in a magic light.
Come with me,oh we'll take the night.
You and me,oh we'll take the night.
Baby, we'll take the night.

Look up and let the night unfold.
Hold on to the feeling.
Reach out and let it touch your soul.
And give in to love,love is believing.

Come on baby,and we'll take the night.
While the stars are willing and the moon is right.
Dreams are shining in a magic light.
Come with me,oh we'll take the night.
You and me,oh we'll take the night.

If everystar should fall.
And tomorrow lose all meaning.
We would still have had it all.
It's locked away inside our hearts.
There for the dreaming.

Come on baby,and we'll tale the night.
While the stars are willing and the moon is bright.
Dreams are shining in the magic light.
Come with me,oh we'll take the night.
You and me, oh we'll take the night.

Come on baby, and we'll take the night.
While the stars are willing and the moon is bright.
Dream are shining in a magic light.
Come with me, oh we'll take the night.
You and me,yeah we'll take the night.

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, i will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough and friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silvergirl sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

A thousand ways, a thousand days
The song of the world haunts a memory
I played my part, it broke my heart
But on the mend, i found a friend

I belong to him, i belong to him

Oh he'll sing a song, i'll even drive along
Cos the songs i hear are from forever
Another day, another way we both sing together

I belong to him, i belong to him

Take my hand, and let's hold his hand, let's stand together
I wash his feet as i wash your feet, let's all sing together

I belong to him, i belong to him
I belong to him, i belong to him
I belong to him, i belong to him
I belong to him, i belong to him...

Autumn leaves, when they fall
Whisper to the wind, ringing out, telling all
Of the summer's end.
Now you're gone far away, how i long to hear you say
"i love you."

Whirling leaves, swirling leaves tell me i'm alone
Wishing you were here with me longing for you home.
Winter nights are lonely nights how i long to hold you tight
I miss you.

A gentle breeze in the trees will tell me spring is here
And i feel anxiety knowing you'll be near.
Summer nights, i'll hold you tight
Under the moon above you'll be my summer love.

When summer's here and you are near every day i'll pray
Autumn leaves will never come and with me you'll stay
You will mean more to me, yes, you'll be
More than just a summer love

Bill dees

Well you can act like a monkey, shake your hands do the limbo till you can't stand,
Well you can mash your potata, hippy hippy shake, but the beats' still wild and your feet still ache
I say it's just another name for rock and roll everybody, everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll, rock and roll

Well you can do the duck, walk your dog down the street, loop the loop to a swingin beat,
You can twist and shout and do the stomp, a chase a chicken on a pony romp ah but
It's just another name for rock and roll everybody, everybody sing,
It's just another name for rock and roll, rock and roll

Well they all try to shake it another way, but they rock, they roll just the same
They only call it by another name and i don't care what they say, woah,oh,oh

Down in the jungle where the tree tops are steep, they get the fever for a bongo beat,
They do the ubangie stomp, the safari hop, do the monkey until they drop

Ah but it's just another name for rock and roll everybody,everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll, everybody,everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll everybody,everybody sing.......

Orbison/melson

Am i blue since you said forget
Forget that we ever met
It's too late, oh too late
Can't forget
This crazy thing was just a fling
But oh, i can't forget

Don't want it to end
Can't forget
Can't leave it, can't take it
Can't forget

Just remember, oh i still love you
Don't forget
It's over and done, i'm the lonely one
Because i can't forget

It's over and done, i'm the lonely one
Because i can't forget

Mickey newbury

Yes, i suppose at times
I think about her
She was once so much a
Part of me
Heaven knows i've learned to
Live without her
And hell, it was, at times
It was a painful memory
But for all it matters now, if it does
For all that tried to be, but never was
For all the times i've tried,
I wouldn't change it if i could
For all she meant to me, i'll remember the good
I'll forget the bad
All the good times we've had
Won't make me quite so sad
When i'm remembering
And for all the times i've tried,
I wouldn't change it if i could
For all she meant to me, i'll remember the good
For all she meant to me, i'll remember the good.

There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Among the pine trees half forlorn
And there on a sunny morning
Little jimmy brown was born

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
All the chapel bells were ringing in the little valley town
And the song that they were singing was for baby jimmy brown
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"lead us not into temptation, bless this hour of meditation"
"guide him with eternal love"

There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
And there, twenty years thereafter
Jimmy was to meet his love

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
All the chapel bells were ringing, 'twas a great day in his life
'cause the songs that they were singing was for jimmy and his wife
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"lead us not into temptation, bless, oh lord this celebration"
"may their lives be filled with love"

>from the village hidden deep in the valley
One rainy morning dark and gray
A soul winged its way to heaven
Jimmy brown had passed away

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
Just a lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town
'twas farewell that it was singing to our little jimmy brown
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"lead us not into temptation, may his soul find the salvation"
"of thy great eternal love"

Don gibson

Everywhere i go heartache just hurts me so
I can't escape from you, and i'm hurting
Sorrow is by my side, misery is my guide
Every minute is blue, and i'm hurting

Loving you from day to day, memories that make this poor fool pay
Time can't heal my yesterdays, loving you, loving you

I cry each tear in vain, my hopes are all the same
My future is nothing but blue and i'm hurting

Loving you from day to day, memories that make this poor fool pay
Time can't heal my yesterdays, loving you, loving you

I cry each tear in vain, my hopes are all the same
My future is nothing but blue and i'm hurting, im hurting

D folger

Wish that i could wish away love
Every memory
All the things young dreams are made of
That ever used to be

Cos if i could leave it all behind me
There'd be nothing left to constantly remind me
Of amy, of amy

She comes and goes just like the seasons
Keeping me on the run
Between the fever and the reason
I'm not the only one

And i guess i'll always feel the same about love
And i'll find it hard to even live without the love
Of amy, amy, oh amy
Amy, amy, amy, amy...

Joe and suzie melson

May the world you live in bring the good life
That grows sweeter as it mellows with time
May the world you live in be a world love lives in
A love like your love and mine

May the children you bear bring contentment
As you guide them with your gentle hand
May you know all the things true love can bring
Between a woman and a man

May the dreams that you build always be filled
Keep the love shining in your eyes
If the bad times or the sad times ever come to you
Let this man be the one that you always turn to

May the seasons of your life touch you gently
And may happiness you always find
May these arms that surround you always be around you
And the world that you live in forever be mine

I hear the sound of distant drums
Far away, far away
And if they call for me to come
Then i must go and you must stay

So mary marry me, let's not wait
Let's share all the time we can
Before it's too late
And love me now
For now is all the time there may be
And if you love me mary, mary marry me

I hear the sound of bugles blow
Far away, far away
And if they call then i must go
Who knows where or who can say?

So mary marry me, let's not wait
For those distant drums
Might change our wedding day
And love me now
For now is all the time there may be
And if you love me mary, mary marry me
Yes if you love me mary, mary marry me

Roy orbison

This lackadaisical mood is driving me mad, i'm feeling so lazy
Flowers in bloom, and i'm humming a tune
I've looked at the moon till i'm crazy

The temperature is a little bit warm, and though i know he meant no harm
Oh, spring fever has got me in love with you, with you, with you, oh, spring fever
Church bells are ringing and the birdies are singing, cute little cupid is calling
The birds and the bees and the budding trees have made the love bug come calling

I feel just like a love sick fool, mother nature, now don't be cruel because oh,
Spring fever has got me so in love with you, with you, with you, oh, spring fever
Spring has sprung, well i've really been stung, there's no reason to doubt it
I'm really in love, cupid gave me the shove, there ain't no two ways about it

By this beautiful sky of blue i swear i'll never get over you, oh spring fever
Has got me so in love with you, oh, spring fever

(orbison-melson-rush)

Don't talk about her, she does the best she can
Don't talk about her, don't talk about her
She's just lost her man
She's lonely, just try and understand.

And if you can't say something nice
Don't say anything at all
Don't you know that she's had a bad, bad fall
And if you can't say something nice
Don't say anything at all.

Don't talk about her, because she feels that way
Don't talk about her, don't talk about her
She don't feel so good today
She's crying, because her baby walked away.

And if you can't say something nice
Don't say anything at all
Don't you know that she's had a bad, bad fall
And if you can't say something nice
Don't say anything at all.

Joe melson/ glenn barber

Morning comes into my room, through pretty purple curtains
And looks upon a man so satisfied, i hold a woman in my arms
And watch her while she's sleeping, and i know that i'm the man on suzie's mind

I'm the pretty dress she buys, i'm the little bug she drives
I'm the picture that she shows to everybody that she knows
I'm the wiggle in her walk, i'm the giggle in her talk
I'm the happy little song she sings, she wears my love for all to see

Sail on by, silver moon, i won't follow you this time
I've got heaven in my arms tonight, i'm the man on suzie's mind
I'm the stops on her way home, i'm the dime in the telephone
I'm the honey that she talks about, i'm the old meanie when she pouts

I'm the carpet, need her feet every night before she sleeps
I'm the pillow where she lays her head, i'm the last word that she said
Sail on by, silver moon, i won't follow you this time
I've got heaven in my arms tonight, i'm the man on suzie's mind
I've got heaven in my arms tonight, i'm the man on suzie's mind
I've got heaven in my arms tonight, i'm the man on suzie's mind...

Barry gibb/larry gatlin

You were a lady - like lady i was a boy running wild
The way that you used everything that god gave you
I gave you my heart like a child, one moment you took me to heaven
Took me back to earth and then before i woke up to the fact i was small you took me back to heaven again

And i remember the indian summer how you held me, how you loved me (loved me loved me)

The world may give me a million reasons but reasons don't make it wrong
Every lesson i learned has a price in return i was lost in my youth and to tell you the truth
I was empty and you filled me with a glow of love a loving loves may die
Just to hear you that sees me through, oh what i'd give to re-live all the indian summers with you

So many hearts have been broken (dum dum dum dum-by do wah)
You had no trouble with mine like a fool i was there for the taking (but then)
It was only a matter of time you can lie in the sun with the warm wind blowing
Just knowing you've already paid but you can't live alone in an indian summer at 110 in the shade

And i remember (and i remember) the indian summer
How you held me in the moonlight

We were riding along on a silver dream never dreaming it off our head
And if i'd known i'd lose you the moment i found you i'd love you all over again

Cos i'm still empty (i'm still empty) come fill me ( come fill me)
With a fire of love your flame will follow flame cos it's all i want to do

Oh what i'd give to re-live all the indian summers with you
Oh what i'd give to re-live all the indian summers with you
Oh what i'd give to re-live all the indian summers with you
Oh what i'd give to re-live all the indian summers with you-oooooooooooooooooo

Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Every time i look into your lovely eyes,
I see a love that money just can't buy.
One look from you, i drift away.
I pray that you are here to stay.

Anything you want, you got it.
Anything you need, you got it.
Anything at all, you got it.
Baby!

Every time i hold you i begin to understand,
Everything about you tells me i'm your man.
I live my life to be with you.
No one can do the things you do.
Anything you want, you got it.
Anything you need, you got it.
Anything at all, you got it.
Baby!
Anything you want
Anything you need
Anything at all

I'm glad to give my love to you.
I know you feel the way i do.
Anything you want, you got it.
Anything you need, you got it.
Anything at all, you got it.
Baby!
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it

Last night, last night, last night, you loved me, how you loved me
Oh, you made me love you last night
Oh how you teased me like you did it, when you did it last night
Pleased me like you did it, when you did it last night

You stole my heart away from me last night
Holding you tight, did it mean as much to you as it meant to me, last night
Were you just lonely, was i just a friend?, did you want me only, or did you pretend?
Was it just one night to hold you tight? then make tonight just like last night

Come on and love me like you did it, when you did it last night
Hold me like you did it when you did it last night
I want you to stay and love me all the way
Say sweet things to me like you said last night, hang on so tight
Now it's alright, just like last night i feel so fine now, you are mine now
Yeah, just like last night, yeah kiss me like you did it
When you did it last night, yeah, touch me like you did it
When you did it last night, ah love me like you did it
When you did it last night, last night

Lavender lace, tears on my face
Our love ??? to celebrate our first date
But i'm alone in lavender lace

Lavender lace, there's not a trace
Of that guy that i love so well
Now he won't see me in lavender lace

Why oh why didn't my baby show?
Why oh why, didn't he love me, no
I don't know if i've ever been so lonely
Lonely in lavender lace

Oh, lavender lace seems out of place
It's 2am, well what's with him, making me cry?
Giving me blues in lavender lace

John fogerty

When i was young, i spent my summer days
Playin' on the track.
The sound of the wheels rollin' on the steel
Took me out, took me back.

Big train from memphis,
Big train from memphis,
Now it's gone gone gone, gone gone gone.

Like no one before, he let out a roar,
And i just had to tag along.
Each night i went to bed with the sound in my head,
And the dream was a song.

Big train from memphis,
Big train from memphis,
Now it's gone gone gone, gone gone gone.

Well i've rode 'em in and back out again
You know what they say about trains;
But i'm tellin' you when that memphis train came through,
This ol' world was not the same.

Big train from memphis,
Big train from memphis,
Now it's gone gone gone, gone gone gone.

(orbison/dees)

She was the wind, the earth and sky
She was the one who made me laugh and cry
She was cake and she was wine
She was fun and she was mine

She'd lie lie lie to me
And i'd believe her
She'd cry and cry and cry for me
I couldn't leave her

No one could hurt, no one could flirt
And no one could smile like she could
She was misery and sorrow
She was reason for tomorrow

The smile of the cat was on her face
A shepard way she love to run the race
The style of the fox men embrace
To know her was to love her
And no one could treat me like she could

She was just a little girl
She was a woman of the world
She was all my dreams
She was many things
But she is, she was, she'll always be
A woman

Orbison/dees

I'll bring you the talon from an eagle
A big black pearl from the sea
I'll bring one and twenty ponies
If you'll bring wildflower to me

Medicine man,make your magic mine
Turn wildflower to a clinging vine
Medicine man won't you please help me
Don't leave me down in misery

Rattle them bones,then roll them stones
And make wildflower mine

I will bring you white buffalo
I'll bring honey from the bee
I'll keep fire-water flowing
If you'll get the big chief to agree

Medicine man, help me if you can
Write a secret message in the sand
Medicine man, please let her know
Tell wildflower that i love her so

Take the breeze and shake the trees
And make wildflower mine

Now she has no use for a white man
Helpless and worthless like me
Tell her father big-strong-hand
To let wildflower comfort me

Medicine man,medicine man
Let it be known throughout the land
Medicine man, medicine man
I have to have the hand of wildflower

Take this piece of calico
Make a dress with a pretty bow
Tie it with a thread of lace
Take it to your secret place
Go into your sacred dance
Say a prayer for our romance
And make wildflower mine

Roy orbison

Well, well, hey hey yeah now...
I got a brand-new baby and i feel so good
She loves me even better than i thought she would
I'm on my way to her house and i'm plumb out of breath

The eyes of texas are upon you
All the live long days
The eyes of texas are upon you
And you cannot get away

Do not think you can escape them
From night till early in the morn
The eyes of texas are upon you
Till gabriel blows his horn

The eyes of texas are upon you
All the live long days
The eyes of texas are upon you
And you cannot get away

Do not think you can escape them
From night till early in the morn
The eyes of texas are upon you
Till gabriel blows his horn

I was a fool, i only wanted you

I don't lose my blues
When i pretend you're with me
Though i make believe
I'm still alone
When i think of you
My empty arms remind me
That my one true love has gone

I was a fool, that's why i cried over you
I was a fool, i only wanted you

When i smile so gay, everybody knows
That i've lost my love
But that's the way it goes
When i think of you
My empty arms remind me
That my one true love has gone

I was a fool, that's why i cried over you
I was a fool, i only wanted you

Recorded 1964 by sue thompson

When we walk by people stop and stare
They say that you don't care
What people say about you
But i know that you do and i do too

But let them say what they may
We'll find a way to make our dreams come true
Bad boy, bad boy i'll stand by you

I've heard them say you'll never change
That you're bad and bad to stay
You're just that way
And there's nothing that you can do

But my love for you will se me through
And darling, i'm so proud
So proud that i'll tell them out loud
That i'm in love with you
Bad boy bad boy....

Roy orbison /bill dees

Oh my darling, i fear everytime you're near
I will hurt you again, so don't wait till then
Shy away, shy away, shy away from me

There's a shadow of doubt and my mind can't work it out
I' not sure of myself, so put me on your shelf
And shy away, shy away, shy away from me

You're too much of a woman, when will you understand?
I've got a lot of the devil in me, so never hold my hand again
Shy away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

If i reach out for you, i'll break your heart in two
And i want you to stay so please hear what i say
Shy away, shy away, shy away from me

Please keep away from me, far away, safe from me
Darling, you must shy away, yeah-hey

All he wanted was to ride out on the wind
Windsurfer
To be one of the guys and to look good in her eyes

He practiced in his dreams
Trying to coast the waves
Most of the time he sailed alone
Endless summer days
Flying in the sun
He'd ride and wait for the wind
To take him home

Windsurfer
Windsurfer
Windsurfer
Windsurfer

He said let's sail away together
She told him no no never no
Wind windsurfer

It was early one morning
On a lovely beach
He left a message and
He wrote it in the sand
Why do we always go for
Something out of reach?
Nobody ever really understands

Windsurfer
All he wanted to do
Was outrun the sun
Windsurfer
To take her in his dreams
When the lonely day was done

Unknown - unreleased song circa 1969

They criticise me for loving you, for seeing you
Giving no reason, they don't know you lillian
Be a mystic figure, shed your feelings from within
Let it go unnoticed where you've been lillian

So take from me what i have to give
For i have taken from you
The crystal world in which you live
Shall fall and tumble too

Let me see, set you free
From the life you live
You have shared, lillian

I know not why you want me
But i know why i want you
I don't need a reason
It's just you, lillian

So take from me what i have to give
For i have taken from you
The crystal world in which you live
Shall fall and tumble too

And let you see, set you free
From the life you live
You have shared, lillian
Lillian, lillian

(bill justis)
My girlfriend slipped and fell
Now she's hanging from a cliff
I can't come to her rescue
But these flowers i must sniff

You see i'd really like to save her
But i aint got the nerve
I'm chicken hearted
I'm chicken hearted

I'm tryin' to kiss my girl
And it makes me want to faint
I'm scared of my own shadow
And afraid of what i ain't

I've no inspiration
I'm kinda yellow...
I'm chicken hearted,
I'm chicken hearted

Mama's in the workshop
Daddy's in the jail
I seem to be afraid
To go to work and make their bail

I guess my folks will have to stay there
Cos i'm just like a snail
I'm chicken hearted,
I'm chicken hearted

(orbison-melson)

Conway twitty also did a version of this with roy singing background vocals

I'm in a blue blue mood
Now that you're gone away
I'm in a blue blue mood
It's been a lonesome day
I'm in a blue blue mood
I miss your caress
I reach out to hold you
But you're not there
It's just my blue blue mood.

Maybe, someday, yeah love will come
And stay, and things will turn
How bright, oh oh oh but for tonight
I'm in a blue blue mood.

I'm in a blue blue mood
I'm in a blue blue mood
I'm in a blue blue mood.

Well, you can't be my lovin' baby
You ain't got the style
I'm a-gonna get some real gone love
That'll drive a cool cat wild
I wanna move, move on down the line
Gonna get me a gal, then i go out on the town
Well, i wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get me a gal, make some time
She can't be square, she can't be slow
And when she starts a-struttin' she's gotta go
I'm gonna move, move on down the line
Well, i'm in love, have been all the time

Yeah, i'm gonna show you ain't so hot
I'm gonna get what you ain't got
She'll be sweet, won't do me wrong
She'll be cool and twice as gone
We're gonna roll on, roll on down the line
I'm gonna get some love, lovin' that's truly fine
Well, i wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get some lovin, truly fine
A love that'll be twice as gone
And when she starts a-struttin' she's gotta go
I wanna move on, move on down the line
Well, i'm gonna do right, do right all the time
I'm gonna do right, do right all the time

When i stop dreaming that's when i'll stop loving you

The worst that i've ever been hurt in my life
The first time i ever have wanted to die
Was the night when you told me you loved someone new
And asked me if i could forget

When i stop dreaming that's when i'll stop loving you

You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow
You may take a pebble and teach it to grow
You may teach the raindrops to return to the sky
But you can't teach my heart to forget

When i stop dreaming that's when i'll stop loving you
Key change
When i stop dreaming that's when i'll stop loving you

Roy orbison/diane warren/albert hammond
I had somebody,somebody who loved me.someone so good to me.
You were my angel, you were my heaven, but i was too blind to see.

I let you slip away, i guess i never knew.i had the world with you .
I'd be there, still be there in your arms.
If not for my careless heart.you'd still be loving me.
If not for my careless heart.you'd still be mine.

I wouldn't have this hurt inside.i wouldn't have this tears to cry.
If not for my careless heart.if not for my careless heart.
I had my chances,i took advantage.i took it all too far.
So now you're gone, and i'm all alone,alone with my lonely heart.

I let it fall apart,i didn't care enough.i lost your precious love.
You'd be here,still be here in my arms.
If not for my careless heart.you'd still be loving me.
If not for my careless heart.you'd still be mine.

I wouldn't have this hurt inside.i wouldn't have this tears to cry.
If not for my careless heart.if not for my careless heart.
You'd still be mine.
I'd be loving you, i'd be holding you,i'd be loving you.
If not for my careless heart.

I wouldn't have this hurt inside.i wouldn't have this tears to cry.
If not for my careless heart.if not for my careless heart.
If not for my careless heart.you'd still be loving me.
If not for my careless heart.you'd still be mine.

I wouldn't have this hurt inside.i wouldn't have this tears to cry.
If not for my careless heart.if not for my careless heart.
If not for my careless heart.you'd still be loving me.
You'd be loving me.you'd still be mine.

I wouldn't have this hurt inside
I wouldn't have these tears to cry....

Well i want you to understand me
I don't want you to be confused
I see through that line you're tryin' to hand me
And i don't like being used

So i think you better stop
And see what you're tryin' to do
Yes i think you better stop
Before it comes back on you

Well you're gifted in your conversation
And you've got a ?? that's mighty strong
And i had you in consideration
But you didn't fool me for long

So i think you better stop
And see what you're tryin' to do
Yes i think you better stop
Before it comes back on you

Well who am i to tell you what to do?
I love you just enough to tell you true - you better stop
But if you're content with a one night stand
Then go on, play the field
But just make sure that that's the way you really feel
You better stop - stop - stop
Yes i think you better stop

You don't really have to change your lifestyle
Just stretch it and let it go
And maybe baby, in the meanwhile
We will fall in love, and you will know

That you had better stop
And see what you're tryin' to do
Yeah i think you better stop
Before it comes back on you

You had better stop
Before it comes back on you
You better stop - stop - stop
Yes i think you better stop
You better stop
You better stop
You better stop

We walk in shadows, we talk in shadows
We date in shadows dark and cold

But wait, it will be alright
Wait, baby hold me so tight
I hate to break your loving heart in two
But wait, i can't stay away from you.

I promise you i'll be with you tomorrow night
I have to wait until the time is right
Yeah wait a little longer now
Wait a little stronger now
Wait a little longer now for me
Oh what you do to me
Wait now until i am free

Yeah yeah yeah wait a little longer now
Wait a little stronger now for me
Wait, come on come on girl
Wait, try to be strong girl

Where is tomorrow? an island of dreams.
Where is tomorrow? flying on golden wings,tomorrow.

Where is tomorrow? the end of time.
Where is tomorrow.you're no longer mine.

Tomorrow, tomorrow.i'll get over you.
Tomorrow,tomorrow.when tomorrow comes,
Then i'll stop loving you,tomorrow.

Where is tomorrow? tomorrow is gone.
Gone losting stardust,hiding from the dawn.
Tomorrow,tomorrow.tomorrow.

I long for tomorrow.i'll be strong tomorrow.
I want cry for you tomorrow.
Where is tomorrow?
Where is tomorrow?
Tomorrow.

1956 released 1995 the teenkings: "are you ready"

Arrested on charges of unemployment,
He was sitting in the witness stand
The judge's wife called up the district attorney
Said you free that brown eyed man
You want your job you better free that brown eyed man

Flying across the desert in a twa,
I saw a woman walking across the sand
She been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to bombay.
To get a brown eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man

Way back in history three thousand years
Back every since the world began
There's been a whole lot of good women shed a tear
For a brown eyed handsome man
That's what the trouble was brown eyed handsome man

Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
Her mother told her daughter go out and find yourself
A brown eyed handsome man
That's what your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man

Milo venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match
To get brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man

Two, three count with nobody on
He hit a high fly into the stand
Rounding third he was headed for home
It was a brown eyed handsome man
That won the game; it was a brown eyed handsome man

It's been so long since you dropped by the store
You're still as pretty as you were before
You've still got personality and poise
You were always such a hit with me and the boys

What - you need some candy
A magazine, some toys
To take back home
To bobby and the boys

Yes i remember bobby
Mr. popularity
Do you ever tell him
How it was with you and me?

Here, take the candy
There'll be no charge for the toys
And give my best
To bobby and the boys

As i lock up, there my baby goes
How much i love that girl, nobody knows
Guess i'll go out to bright lights and noise
While she goes home to bobby and the boys
While she goes home to bobby and the boys

The beach boys

Well since she put me down i 've been out doin' in my head
I come in late at night and in the mornin' i just lay in bed

Well, rhonda you look so fine (look so fine)

Mama, just had to call, oh mama
Your baby boy just had his heart
Broken in two, she said we're through
But to send her best to you.
Oh mama, i'd like to run to you mama
I'd come home today, leave right away
But things won't work that way
Gotta stay, and be a man
If i can, oh mama.

No mom, i don't know i called her tonight
No, not at home, yeah, you're probably right
Yes i'll take care of myself. no i'll be alright
I'll go to bed early tonight.
Oh mama, tell dad i think of him, mama
How's uncle joe, my puppy go-go
Tell them hello, oh i'd better go
But good gosh, i loved her so.

Oh mama, don't worry so much, darling mama
Now mama don't cry, just say goodbye
Can't have us both in tears well mom, you know me
Yes i'll always be your baby through all the years.

Orbison/melson

Baby baby baby
I saw her again today
She reached out to touch me again
But i turned and walked away

Singing goodbye was easy to do
I just thought how much i love you

Help me help me
Please please help me, help me
Help me to keep from losing you

Honey honey honey
A man is only a man
She was my first and my last mistake
So try and understand

Forgive me and forget all you've been through
Let me find my way back to you

Help me help me
Please please help me, help me
Help me to keep from losing you
Help me to keep from losing you

Words and music: m. cowan

Roy sang this song whilst on an australian tour
It was taped by a fan and circulated.....

Once a jolly swagman, camp´d by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watch´d and waited till his billy boiled,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me,
And he sang as he sat and waited till his billy boiled,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shaoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me,
And he sang as he shaoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down come the troopers, one, two, three,
Whose that jolly jumbuck you´ve got in your tucker bag?
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me,
Whose that jolly jumbuck you´ve got in your tucker bag?
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Up jumped the swagman, sprang into the billabong,
Drowning himself by the coolibah tree,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
You´ll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Almost, you fell in love with me
Almost, you were my bride to be
But someone new came by
And you left me here to cry
Oh how close we were, almost

Almost, i heard the church bells ring
Almost, i heard the choir sing
Well, each promise that was made
You have broken and betrayed
Oh how close we were, almost

Almost, my every dream came true
Almost, i heard you say "i do"
But i hear now instead
All those unkind words you said
Oh how close we were, almost
Oh how close we were, almost
Oh how close we were, almost

At times it seems too rough, things just drag me down
It's hard to find the strength to just one more round

When i need help, i know where to go
'cos you're the best friend that i could ever know

Being taught the words from you .... from what is true
Someone to share the pain that i'm going through

And it's a heavy load that i bear and it's a heavy crown that i wear
As i travel down this road, it's a heavy load, it's a heavy load


It's a heavy load that i bear and it's a heavy crown that i wear
So help me one more time, it's such an uphill climb
As i travel down this road, it's a heavy load

Lord it's a heavy load, lord it's a heavy load, lord it's a heavy load
Lord it's a heavy load, lord it's a heavy load....

This is the last song
The very last song tonight
And the song is blue

This is the last song
Yeah, the last song, hold me tight
Though i shouldn't be with you

This is the last time
The very last time i'll see you
Hold me close and don't you cry

This is the last song
The very last song tonight
And this song means goodbye

I won't forget the melody
That takes your love away from me
But i guess what will be will be

And tonight, in your arms
Is like heaven to me
But i belong to someone else
And she's waiting, waiting
Waiting for me

Goodbye, goodbye
And remember, remember me
And this song will be our song
And this song will be our song
And the last song for me

Congratulations for breaking my heart
Congratulations for tearing it all apart
Congratulations you finally did succeed
Congratulations for leaving me in need

This morning i looked out my window and found
A bluebird singing but there was no one around
At night i lay alone in my bed
With an image of you goin' around in my head

Congratulations for bringing me down
Congratulations now i'm sorrow bound
Congratulations you got a good deal
Congratulations how good you must feel

I guess that i must have loved you more than i ever knew
My would is empty now cause it don't have you
And if i had just one more chance to wind your heart again
I would do things differently but what's the use to pretend

Congratulations for making me wait
Congratulations now it's too late
Congratulations you came out on top
Congratulations you never did know when to stop

Congratulations

How have you been, girl?
Hold me, and then girl
Just let me look at you.
Tell me, now, is it true?

Oh, did you break up?
No chance to make up.
I hate to take up all your time,
But tell me.

Oh, no it won't be repeated.
You mean to tell me he cheated?
Oh, what a fool he's been
Oh, he is my best friend

I hate it this way,
But i've waited for this day.
I've always wanted
You to be my girl.

You're my girl, yeah my girl.
I still don't believe it
He played around on you.
All the time he knew
I loved you too

With your big eyes,full lips,
High cheek bones,
And everything about you, girl.
Your personality girl,
Gimme a chance, come on,
Let's dance,some
Dance the night awa--y;

You're my girl.you're my girl
Baby doll, baby, baby, hold me tight.

Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, woo-hoo-hoo
Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, please come back to me
Last night a certain rockabilly singer came to town
My gal says that she'd like to hear his crazy rhythm sound
So we went down to see him and he shook her up for sure
'cause today he's gone and my heather, she is following his tour
Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, woo-hoo-hoo
Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, please come back to me

This guy was just a hillbilly singer at the start
But when he added rock 'n' roll he tore the place apart
The moment my gal heard him, you'd swear an earthquake begins
She started with a-itchin' and a-twakin', then got up and ran

You always said that i'd be back again
That i'd come running to you in the end
I thought that you were on your own
And now i find you're not alone

(chorus)
I'll see you through the rain
Through the heartache and pain
It hurts like never before
You're not alone any more

You always said that i would know someday
Just how it feels when your love walks away
I let you down i let you go
I lost you, how was i to know

(chorus)

I never knew i could feel this way
I never could see past yesterday
You feel that everything is gone
I feel it too, you're not alone

Some things are just meant to be
Don't, don't, don't cry for me
I've had my moments
And i guess what will be will be

Hey, hey, don't feel that way
Win or lose, there'll be another day
Don't, don't, don't disillude
I've had my moments
And i've had a dream or two

Don't worry 'bout me, don't shed one tear
Don't feel sorry, it's been a real good year
Ah, that's sweet of you, don't you cry now
I got along before, i'll get along right now

Don't worry 'bout me, don't shed one tear
Don't feel sorry, it's been a real good year
Ah, that's sweet of you, don't you cry now
I got along before, i'll get along right now

Please, please, don't pity me
Some things are just meant to be
Don't, don't, don't cry for me
I've had my moments
And i guess what will be will be

There's a little bird that somebody sends
Down to the earth to live on the wind.
Born on the wind and he sleeps on the wind
This little bird that somebody sends.

He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue,
So thin and graceful the sun shines through.
This little bird who lives on the wind,
This little bird that somebody sends.

He flies so high up in the sky
Out of reach of human eye.
And the only time that he touches the ground
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird dies.

The other night me and my girl went bowling
The other night me and my girl went bowling
Went to a place called joe's that's where everybody goes

When we walked in she turned every face in the place
When we walked in she turned every face in the place
A cool number jumped up and made a play for my girl
I said "come on boy"

I said "don't mess with me cos i got a cast iron arm"
I said "don't mess with me cos i got a cast iron arm"
"oh when you you mess with me that only rings my alarm"

Well the music was a-rockin' and the place was a-jumpin' with jive
Well the music was a-rockin' and the place was a-jumpin' with jive
Well the same cool number made the same wrong move
I hit him in the head

I said "don't mess with me cos i got a cast iron arm"
I said "don't mess with me cos i got a cast iron arm"
"oh when you you mess with me that only rings my alarm"

I said "don't mess with me cos i got a cast iron arm"
I said "don't mess with me cos i got a cast iron arm"

Well i don't get excited
Each time that we're invited
To some social event
Cos with each glance you're stealing
I get that same old feeling
I know that he will be there
You look across the table
Straight at that other guy
I see that look in your eye
And even though i know it
I try hard not to show it
Go on and make me cry
Go on, go on, go on
Go on

Though you think he's playing
Sweeter than the wine
Don't let him steal a moment
I'm running out of time

I feel our love grow colder
As you touch your shoulder
Each time that we're dancing by
I've lost your love so tender
Very well, i will surrender
Go on and hear me cry
Go on, go on, go on
Go on

This looks like the last time
These arms will hold you tight
So if you're going to love me
We only have tonight

The final scene is over
Looks like you win again
You may think that you always will
But oh, he's gonna hurt you
Oh yeah, and when he hurts you
You know that i love you still
Go on, go on, go on
Go on

I've been loving you since you were sweet 16
Good lookin' woman jerry lee ever seen
C'mon girl you got my heart a really jamming
Go ahead and keep my mother humping motor running
Lets go why don't you put it on the floor
Woman you really got me humming keep my motor running

I got fuel injections jerry lee's got front wheels
I've got completed systems on this time
You'll really love the feel
Satin sheets crawl up and down my lovely bed
If you lift the pillow you can lay your lovely head
Lets go, whooooo, put it on the floor
Really got me humming, keep my motor running

Oh go rock and roll baby
??????????????????????
Let me go, i got mother humping on the floor
Yeah, you really got ol' killer humming
Why don't you keep my motor running

Day after day i'm more confused
So i look for the light in the pouring rain
You know that's a game that i hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Beginning to think that i'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things i do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you to carry me through

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when i'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know i believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along makin' me strong

Jerry mcbee

Standing in this airport waiting all alone
Listening to the falling raindrops playing a lonely song
I didn't want to leave that girl, but i couldn't stay
But when the feeling's gone, you know it's gotta end just this way

Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly
Take me up and away, gonna find some better days
Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly
Leaving yesterday's sorrow, gonna chase tomorrow

When i step up on board this plane, i'll never look behind
I'll close my eyes and let the whining engines ease my mind
I may get off in dallas, or go on to l.a.
But anyway, i've got some time to think a while along the way

Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly
Leaving yesterday's sorrow, i'm gonna chase tomorrow
Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly
Take me up and away i'm gonna find some better days.....

Wondering, wondering, i wonder what to say
Wondering, wondering, i wonder what to do
Will your love be true, or will you run away

When you have been alone, without love, all alone
You wonder what you'll feel when new love comes along
Is it really real?

Ah . . aaaah . . aaah,
I wonder.

Wondering, wondering, i wonder all the time
Wondering, wondering, are you really mine?
Will your love be true or will i wonder
Till the end of time?

It wasn't very long ago.
I met you,i saw you.
It wasn't very long ago.
You whispered "i love you"

Look at us now.
Crying our hearts out through the night.
Trying to remember what love was like, although...

It wasn't very long ago.
I thrilled when i kissed you.
It wasn't very long ago.
I cried when i missed you

Look at us now.
Crying at hearts out through the night.
Trying to remember what love was like
Although it wasn't very long ago.

Look look my eyes aren't shining with love
And they won't.
Look i'm not crying

Roy orbison/ray rush/joe melson

Sad eyes, sad eyes, across the room
Sad eyes, crying in your gloom
Sad eyes, love has been untrue

Just look at me, oh just look at me
Just look at me, i'm lonely too
I'm like you, so like you, sad eyes

Oh sad eyes
Don't you know that tears can be erased?
Oh sad eyes tears won't help
But maybe i can replace that other face

Sad eyes, sad eyes, this ain't just a line
Sad eyes, maybe we can find
Sad eyes, somewhere down the line

Happiness, oh happiness happiness together, you and i
Someday, some way, sad eyes

Price/price
Well i was driving in my car
With fourteen women after me
Down fifth avenue
A friday night it just to be
She was standing on the corner
Thumbing a ride
I said,:

Gene pitney

Todays teardrops are tomorrow's rainbows and tomorrow's rainbows we will
Share me and you so dry your eyes, little girl, dry your eyes,
And we're gonna see skies of blue yeah, yeah, yeah
Had a tough time gettin started, maybe you're just a little downhearted
All you gotta do is a count to 10, baby you'll be smiling when,

Todays teardrops are tomorrow's rainbows and tomorrow's rainbows we will
Share me and you so dry your eyes, little girl, dry your eyes,
And we're gonna see skies of blue yeah, yeah, yeah
Instrumental
Key change-

Gonna be just a love of gladness, don't wanna hear nothin 'bout sadness
Come a little closer come a to me, with each kiss you're gonna see
Todays teardrops are tomorrow's rainbows and tomorrow's rainbows we will
Share me and you so dry your eyes, little girl, dry your eyes,
And we're gonna see skies of blue yeah, yeah, yeah

Todays teardrops are tomorrow's rainbows and tomorrow's rainbows we will
Share me and you ....

Sittin' around minding my business when in walked an old friend
Such a sight for sore eyes i hadn't seen him since i don't know when
We talked about the crazy things we used to do
And talk loud around about old lovers talk out around to you

And i'd like to hold a reunion for the clas of

John d loudermilk

Kiss me and i'll never tell a soul you did
For they'd only tell us we were only kids
Take my hand and lead me over hill and dale
Love me oh my darling and i'll never tell

How it matters if you will or won't
But i would never tell if you do or don't
Darling trust me just a little, how i pray you will
Don't be basful, kiss me, and i'll never tell

How it matters if you will or won't
But i would never tell if you do or don't
Darling trust me just a little, how i pray you will
Love me oh my darling and i'll never tell
