1. _ Two Of A Kind
(montgomery/sinks)
They say we're searching for love we'll never find
They say we're foolish kids we're two of a kind.
We know we've found our love when your lips meet mine
That's when we know they're right we're two of a kind.
No matter what they say when it's all said and done
When we are old enough we two will be one.
And when they pass me by with your hand in mine
Then they'll just smile and say they're two of a kind.
No matter what they say when it's all said and done
When we are old enough we two will be one.
And when they pass me by with your hand in mine
Then they'll just smile and say they're two of a kind.

2. _ Pistolero
Written by orbison/dees.
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
Jolie cute as she could be
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

On her balcony

4. _ (say ) You're My Girl
(orbison/dees)
Hello, may i have this dance with you?
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
Though 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.
Be my girl, you're my girl.
I still don't believe it
He played around on you.
When all the time he knew
I loved you too
With your big eyes,full lips,
High cheek bones,
And ev'rything about you, girl.
Personality girl,
Gimme a chance, come on,
Let's dance,some
Dance the night awa--y;
You're my girl.you're my girl, you're my girl.
Baby doll, baby, baby, hold me tight.
Be mine tonight, say it's alright.
And i will never, ever let you go, oh...
Be my girl, be my girl,
You're my girl.you're mine,
You're my girl.

5. _ Oh Lonesome Me
Music & lyrics : d. gibson
Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm a fool for staying home and having none.
I can't get over how she set me free.
Oh, lonesome me.
There must be some way that i can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about my past and find someone new
I've thought of everything from a to z
Oh, lonesome me.
I'll bet she's not like me.
She's out and fancy free,
Flirting with the boys with all her charms
But i still love her so,
And brother don't you know
I'd welcome her right back here in my arms

6. _ Here Comes That Song Again
(flood)
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

Orbison/dees
"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

Stayed out too late, at work at eight, don't wanna wait for that ten o' clock break

I'll get caught up if you'll let me stop for a coke, a big tall frosty ice cold bottle of coke
Fun goes better with, food goes better with, people go better with coke
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"

10. _ Paper Boy
Roy orbison
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....

11. _ City Life
Orbison/dees
Coffer cafe's dizzy with city lights, concrete sidewalks busy with friendly fights
But that's alright baby, it's alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
Loud paper boys yelling yesterday's news, a pedlar man selling what you can't use
That's alright baby, it's alright come go with me, you will see city life, city life
I need you when the sun goes down, you pick me up when you're around
Come on, come on now, we can have a good time, this town ain't much unless you're here with me
It's like a woman, crazy just like a puppy, lazy
Just like a pretty jealous wife, i can't get free from city life
Secluded bars humming behind the scenes, hot wild guitars strumming, promising dreams
That's alright baby, it's alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
I don't want to be alone, stay with me now, don't go home
It's a date, we'll stay out late and party, city lifes okay when you're with me
It's like a lion sleeping just like a willow weeping,
A melting pot for fun and strife can't get away from city life
City life baby, city life, it's alright baby, it's alright city life, city life....

12. _ Plain Jane Country (come To Town)
(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

15. _ Heartbreak Radio
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.

Borne again.
Because have you at just being borne again.
At last i feel that i'm alive and more.
This is the moment i've waited for.
Born to be loved by you.born to be loved by you.
Born to walk with you.born to talk with you.

For there you are the other part of me.
I have found my destiny.
Born to be loved by you.born to be loved by you.
Right or wrong for you.weak or strong for you.
Faithful or untrue
Born chained forever and far beyond.
Born to be loved by you and only you
No one else will do.

17. _ A True Love Goodbye
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....

18. _ Life Fades Away
Written by orbison/danzig
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.

20. _ Drifting Away
(orbison/dees)
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

You're completely out of your shell

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

Orbison/c & r price
Glittery eyes; witchy smiles
A good time is all you are after
Skin tight thighs; little white lies
Put you in the center of the laughter
But your reign of queen is over
Your fortress has been broken down
You're still the center of the laughter
But your role has changed to the clown
Chorus
Ooh poor baby
Someone broke your heart in two
Ooh poor baby
Who would have thought it could happen to you
Poor baby
A pretty face; sweet talkin' ways
Got you a part of the action
A come-over-touch, glances and such
You always had to be the main attraction
Now you're the one who's crying
You lost at your own lonely game
You're still the center of attraction
But now i'm gone, you've got yourself to blame
Chorus
Ooh poor baby
Do what you said you'd never do
Ooh poor baby
You let someone get much too close to you

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

You are not just another sweet human
You're precious, precious to me
You are not just my love for the moment
You're precious, precious to me
Are you some kind of angel
Who lost your way to a star?
Wonder why, why me?
Don't you even see how wonderful you are?
You are not just someone i can talk with
You're precious, precious to me
You are not just someone i can talk with
You're precious, precious to me

Time and again i've come back to you

Even though i know what you'll do
You'll break my heart right in two

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

37. _ Flowers
(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

38. _ Sleepy Head
Terry widlake
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.....

39. _ Till The Heart Caves In
Orbison/burnett/neuwirth
Stood together in an open field
And shared the secrets that the night revealed
Then we'd chase the light racing through the sky
Can we untangle guilt and innocence?
How hard we torture this ambevolence
Night will bring no dawn where's the power gone?
For i'll steal your dreams while you are sleeping
And sell them for dust and cheap lust
And i'll turn your hope while you are weeping
And cover your eyes with sad lies and dark skies
Come closer to me, on your hands and knees, alone when your will's gone
How much is not enough?, how much is through?
How long will i be getting over you?
How much grief and sin
Till the heart caves in? till the heart caves in?, till the heart caves in?

(mathis)
There's a girl in my life
The best little girl that i could ever find
Her lips are warm when the nights are cold
In the summertime she can make it snow
She's alright, she's alright
If you want to get a girl that's really fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
She's alright, she's alright.
You take your girl to a show
You got to stand in line but she says no
You finally get your ticket and you walk in
There she's standing with a silly grin
But not mine, she'll stand in line
If you want to get a girl that's truly fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
Cause she's alright, she's alright.
You buy your girl a fancy dress
That's the only way she'll look her best
I give my girl bell-bottom slacks
A big wide belt and she's a gas
She's alright, she's alright
If you want to get a girl that's really fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
Cause she's alright, she's alright.

(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).

45. _ Try To Remember
Words and music by tom jones and harvey schmidt from the musical "the
Fantasticks"
Try to remember the kind of september
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Try to remember the kind of september
When grass was green and grain so yellow
Try to remember the kind of september
When you were a young and a callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh
Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh
Deep in december it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in december it's nice to remember
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow
Deep in december it's nice to remember
The fire of september that made you mellow
Deep in december our hearts should remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh
Follow, oh-oh

A kasha/j hirschorn
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
There's got be a morning after
There's got be a morning after

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....

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

A light shown in the night some way ahead, blue turned into green then it was red
And stirring the night love music played the light i saw in the night was a penny arcade
Hey step up and play each machine seemed to say,as i walked round and round the penny arcade
Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle and you'll make all those colored lights cascade
And music played at the penny arcade, yes it played and it played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last dime
At first i thought it a dream that i was in, lost, lost in a sea of glass and tin
But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans i grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machine
Repeat chorus
Oh! repeat chorus
Roll up and spend your last, roll up and spend your last,

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

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

But how can i forget and dream of you?
Afraid to sleep because i'd dream of you

So i'll close my eyes and go ahead and dream

I think of all these years gone by.
Never even wondered why.
I never touched the ground.
All the time that's come and gone.
All the nights i've been alone.
And now i'm homeward bound.
I heard the thunder over canaan.
And i heard the angels cry.
And their voices came revealing
As you live,so will you die.

And she told you "goodbye"?

(orbison/melson)
Well you should be an actress
You play your part so well
Your act is so believable
That no one else can tell
You say the lines, but i see
That you don't really love me
You keep me around to be your faithful clown
Till someone you can love comes along
You'll keep on pretending
Because the show must go on
Yes, you should be an actress
As lovely as you are
The way you play on emotion
You'd shame the brightest star
You're acting all the time
No, you're not really mine
I'm just another scene in your play acting scheme
No, you dont love me at all
But when you walk away
That's when the curtain will fall
But i'll go all the way to the end of the play
I'll be a part of your masquerade
Although i know it may be the saddest show
In the life of a fool on parade

Does he try to hold you like i used to do?
Are the stars still in your eyes?
How are things in paradise?
Uh, does he take you hand and whisper i love you?

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

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

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.

73. _ Handle Me With Care - Travelling Wilburys
Been beat up and battered around
Been sent up and i've been shut down
You're the best thing that i've ever found
Handle me with care
Reputations changeable
Situations tolerable
But baby you're adorable
Handle me with care
I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care?
Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine and dream on
I've been fucked up and i've been fooled
I've been robbed and ridiculed
Daycare census and night schools
Handle me with care
Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed commercialized
Handle me with care
I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care
Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine and dream on
I've been uptight and made a mess
But i'll clean it up myself i guess
Oh the sweet smell of success
Handle me with care

75. _ Unchained Melody
The platters
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And 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

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

77. _ Why A Woman Cries
Jerry mcbee
He calls you from the office and he tells you that he's sorry
But it looks like he'll be working late again and he asks you how your day went
But he didn't say he missed you and he'd rather be home with you and the kids
Then suddenly the day has lost it's meaning and you find it hard to hold the tears inside
And the tears begin to fall, and another day's gone by
As you dry the tears from your eyes, just another reason why a woman cries
You ask him if he'd call you when he's working late again
But it's nine o'clock and still he hasn't called and the dinner fixed with special care
Is getting cold, and he's not there - you wonder if he really cares at all
Another lonely night and he's not with you and you find it hard to hold the tears inside
And the tears begin to fall, and another day's gone by
As you dry the tears from your eyes, just another reason why a woman cries
Now you push aside the curtains and you're looking out the window
And the kids are playing with him in the yard, he takes you out occaisonally
And once more you're a family and he thought about your birthday after all
It's then you know the reason why you love him and he'll never know the joy you feel inside
And all the tears you've cried, just a part of a woman's life, when a woman's happy inside
It's another reason why a woman cries, just another reason why a woman cries

78. _ Good Morning Dear
Mickey newbury
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"?

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

How do you expect me, honey
To stand here so nonchalant
When the way you move your body
It's telling me what you are
You're a boogie baby, ain't no maybe
And you're driving me crazy, ooh tonight
It's just not fair, no
That look in your eyes when you smile
You're a liberated woman
But you still know how to use your feminine wiles
You're a boogie baby, ain't no maybe
And you're driving me crazy. ooh tonight
Woman, you are already a star
And what you're doing is tearing me apart
You'd better find yourself another man
If you're not out to tease
Cos this here man is looking to please
Lights flickering 'cross the floor
Making my light head spin
Or is it just you. you sexy lady
Winkin' my way again
You're a boogie baby, ain't no maybe
And you're driving me crazy, ooh tonight
Woman, you are already a star
And what you're doing is tearing me apart
You'd better find yourself another man
If you're not out to tease
Cos this here man is looking to please

81. _ Run For The Sun
Orbison/price
I've heard some people say that you should live just for today
And not let your life just drag on and on
Now since you've come along i know that they're not wrong
And together we'll make a run for the sun
I've wasted my time living line by line, taking it sure, taking it slow
But since you touched my hand, now i can understand
And i know why that we can fly and we will have fun
While we make a run for the sun, a run for the sun
Too shy at the start, to open my heart, i couldn't chance getting hurt
You showed me the way, how to live for today
You were the key, you came to me and now i am free
Now look what we've done, we've had our fun
We made our run all the way to the sun
All of the way, all the way to the sun

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

Hey young and innocent girl
You don't even know that i'm around
One loving your world and he doesn't know what he has found
Oh, i need you so
But you wear a gold wedding ring
If i had a woman, if i had a woman
If i had a woman, a woman like you.
True, you love your man
You love him true like no one can
Uh, what i would do to be in be in his shoes but i understand
You're beautifully bound
Tied up to love's silver chain
If i had a woman, if i had a woman
If i had a woman, a woman like you.
Twilight finds me alone
Midnight and i'm on my own
I have numbers to phone but i don't have a woman like you
I don't have a woman like you
Lie, i'd tell a lie
If i said i did not love you
I know very well why all of my dreams cannot come true
Here, i need you here
But you wear a clear diamond stone
If i had a woman, if i had a woman
If i had a woman, a woman like you.

Recorded 1963 gene thomas
Baby's gone away,baby's gone away
Baby's gone away and left me lonely
Didn't say goodbye, didn't tell me why
Just left me here to stay
The pain i feel inside is more than i can hide
I need her by my side, oh where can baby be
Won't somebody please bring her back to me
And she'll never be lonely again
A funny photograph that made all the gang laugh
Two tickets torn in half are only reminders
A ribbon from her hair, her little teddy bear
They're just waiting there for me to find her
I miss her so tonite, i long to hod her tight
I hope that she's alright, oh where can baby be?
Won't somebody please bring her back to me
And she'll never be lonely again

Written by orbison/melson
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

The sun looks good in the morning and i love the night time too

If ever i should lose you i would be nothing at all
All my world is heaven i'll be happy my whole life through
Only with you, only with you

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

It seems to me that love will drive me crazy

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

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

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.

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.......

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

Tell me why she said goodbye, tell me why she left me
I'll tell you why i cry
Tell me why i'm lonely, i'll tell why i'm alone
Tell you why i stayed around, tell me why she has gone
I'll tell why my heart's broken, tell me why she was untrue
Tell me why she left me, i'll tell you why i'm blue
You tell me then i'll tell you, i'll tell you why i love her
Tell me why she said goodbye, tell me why she left me
I'll tell you why i cry, you tell me then i'll tell you

108. _ Raindrops
Joe melson
Raindrops, raindrops
I look out my window and what do i see
Raindrops, raindrops
They mark the pathway to my destiny
Raindrops, raindrops
Yes rain like the tears that fell from my heart
The day you said we'd have to part
And now what's left for me to do
But watch those raindrops and cry over you
Instrumental
You've stolen my love and my heart away
Raindrops, raindrops
And i'll feel the same for the rest of my days
Raindrops, raindrops
Well i've tried yes i've tried i want you to know
I did what you asked i loved you so
But i knew in my heart it wouldn't be long
Till i'd look up and you'd be gone

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

111. _ Remember The Good
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.

112. _ The Three Bells
Original french words by bert reisfeld and music by jean villard
English words added by dick manning
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"

113. _ After The Love Has Gone
Roy orbison/jerry l. williams
When love's light slowly starts to fade.
On dreams and promises we made.
What can we do to right this wrong.
After the love,after the love has gone.
When did our love began to die.
It seems too lata to wonder why.
This feeling seems so strong.
After the love, after the love has gone.
After the love has gone.
How can we still be friends.
How can we carry on.
After the love,after the love has gone.
And now it's time to say goodbye.
Just walka way, try not to cry.
We'll love again before too long.
After the love, after the love has gone.
After the love has gone.
After it finally ends.
There'll be no sweet love songs.
After the love, after the love has gone.
How can we still be friends.
How can we carry on.
After the love, after th elove has gone

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...

116. _ Indian Wedding
(orbison)
There once was an indian brave by the name of yellow hand
He fell in love with a maiden know as white sands
They vowed their love would last forever more
Then came the day that they had waited for.
Yellow hand brought her a golden feather
White sands said a prayer for good weather
The ceremonial dance grew loud and strong
Then yellow hand began their wedding song.
Oooooh oooooh oooh ooooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Tonight, tonight, we will be one
We'll walk in the land of the midnight sun
Oh white sands, come hold my lonely hand.
Then they left the warmth of the raging fire
And rode into the hills climbing higher
And suddenly the snow came swirling down
They were lost the trail could not be found.
Oooooh oooooh oooh ooooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Tonight, tonight we will be one
We'll walk in the land of the midnight sun
Oh white sands, come hold my lonely hand.
They never returned from paradise
They went to their places in the sky
And the old ones still say when the snowflakes fly
If you'll listen close you'll hear him cry:
Oooooh oooooh oooh ooooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Tonight, tonight we will be one
We'll walk in the land of the midnight sun
Oh white sands, come hold my lonely hand.

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

118. _ Scarlet Ribbons (for Her Hair) (stars On Sunday Ver)
(jack segal/evelyn danzig)
I peeped in to say good night
When i heard my child in prayer
"send for me, some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
All the stores were closed and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In my town no scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
I peeped in and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
If i live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

(orbison/dees)
Borne on the wind,
Borne on the wind
Between the sunset and the dawn.
So tenderly your memory
Lingers with me on and on
Borne on the wind,
Borne on the wind
You are still with me it seems
A life to live, a love to give,
And you will live in my dreams.
You don't love me,
But you love for me to be in love with you.
You lured me on,led me on
But when i fell you were gone.
Borne on the wind,
Borne on the wind,
Now a song in my heart.
A soft refrain you will remain
To live in my heart again
Borne on the wind,
Borne on the wind,
Borne on the wind.

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

L purdom
California woman
Hanging heavy on my mind
Never found another like her
Guess she was just one of a kind
She never wrapped no strings around me
She could treat a man so fine
I still see her golden hair
And the caliifornia sunshine
Mississippi rain falling on my head
No california woman sleeping in my bed
Makes me wanna move on, leave all this behind
I need my california woman and the california sunshine
Golden california beaches
Knocking on a beach house door
They say that california woman
She don't live here anymore
They say she left with a stranger
Leaving nothing left behind
She buried all my dreams here
In the california sunshine
Mississippi rain falling on my head
No california woman sleeping in my bed
Makes me wanna move on, leave all this behind
I need my california woman and the california sunshine
I need my california woman and the california sunshine

If i could see you just one time
Oh, how it'd ease my troubled mind
If i could hold you just one time
And then pretend that you're still mine
Lips that used to thrill me so
They now thrill someone else i know
Gone is the love that once was mine
Wish i could see you just one time
Oh, oh, oh, oh i miss you so
Oh, i need you so
I'd, i'd, i'd give this heart of mine
If i could see you just one time
<instrumental interlude>
Wish i could relive just one time
Turn back the pages and there i'd find
That same old love that once was mine
Wish i could see you just one time
Oh, oh, oh, oh i miss you so
Oh, i need you so
I'd, i'd, i'd give this heart of mine
If i could see you just one time

124. _ How Do You Start Over
M.curb/enders/hemric
How do you start over again?
Tell me, where do you begin?
What does a loser do
When love seems lost?
When bridges are burning
Can they still be crossed?
How do you start over,over again?
How do you begin what's already been?
When love was young,we knew our love would last
But now our dreams are somewhere in the past
And i don't know which way to go
I only know i miss you so
And wish somehow it could be
The way it was with you and me
Remember when
How do you start over,over again?
How do you make love when the feeling is gone?
How do you make wrong right,when right seems so wrong?
Just tell me you love me and then
We can start over, over again

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
I'm chicken hearted,
I'm chicken hearted

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...

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

And 44 million more tears i've cried since you walked through that door
The sun never reaches my doorstep each empty day seems to be the same
You've broken your vow but i still love you now, oh this love of mine is a one way losing game
And it's been 22 lonely blue days without a word from you
And 44 million more tears i've cried since you walked through that door
The dreams that we share are gone forever but i still have a little hope in my heart
Is this the way it ends? are we to be both friends? oh i can't go on if we're to be apart
And it's been 22 lonely blue dayswithout a word from you
And 44 million more tears i've cried since you walked through that door

Ah 22 days since you walked through that door

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

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

No one can do the things you do.

If you don't really love her
Don't take her from me
Because i really love her
And need her desperately
If you don't plan to give
All your love, for as long as you should live
Don't take her from me
If she's not something special
Don't take her from me
Because she's something special to me
Can't you see?
If she's not number one
Every day, till your whole life is done
Don't take her from me
There is only one for me
She is all there could ever be
So don't take her from me

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

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
Don't cry all alone

139. _ She
(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

140. _ It Takes All Kinds Of People
Roy orbison/mike curb
Man by himself lives in a world a world of his own
But there's no one who can live in the world all alone
For it takes all kinds of people
It doesn't matter where they come from
Yes it takes all kinds of people
The good, the bad, and everyone
On the way up, a man can walk over his friends
What goes up comes down
One day he may need them again
For it takes all kinds of people
It doesn't matter where they come from
Yes it takes all kinds of people
The good, the bad, and everyone
Therell come the day when everyone passes him by
What will he say when nobody answers his cry?
That it takes all kinds of people
It doesn't matter where they come from
Yes it takes all kinds of people
It may take some time
But each man will find
That he needs all kinds of people
That he must believe in people
Yes it takes all kinds of people
To make a world

141. _ Big Train (from Memphis)
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.

Hank williams
I know you tried your best to love me
You smiled when your heart told you to weep
You tried to pretend that you were happy
Ooh last night i heard you crying in your sleep
You gave the best years of your life, dear
And each preccious vow you tried to keep
I love you so much i want you happy
Ooh last night i heard you crying in your sleep
Your heart is yearning for an old love
With new love it's useless to compete
It hurts me to know that you're unhappy
Yeah last night i heard you crying in your sleep
You know that you are free to go, dear
And don't mind me if i weep
I know i can never make you happy
Cos last night i heard you crying in your sleep

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

149. _ There Wont Be Many Coming Home
(orbison/ dees)
Listen all you people
Try and understand
You may be a soldier
Woman, child or man
But there won't be many coming home
No, there won't be many coming home
Oh, there won't be many
Maybe ten out of twenty
But there won't be many coming home
Now the old folks will remember
On that dark and dismal day
How their hearts were choked with pride
As their children marched away
Now the glory is all gone
They are left alone
And there won't be many coming home
No, there won't be many coming home
Oh, there won't be many
Maybe five out of twenty
But there won't be many coming home
Look real closely at the soldier
Coming at you through the haze
He may be the younger brother who ran away
And before you kill another
Listen to what i say
Oh, there won't be many coming home
Oh, there won't be many coming home
Oh, there won't be many
There may not be any
But there won't be many coming home
If they all came back but one
He was still some mother's son
And there won't be many coming home
Oh, there won't be many coming home
Oh, there won't be many coming home
Oh, there won't be many coming home.......

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

And darling, i'm so proud
So proud that i'll tell them out loud
That i'm in love with you

The good times are all gone
The night keeps coming on so strong
You can't hold on, no matter what you do
Will there be someone who cares for you
When the blue hour comes?
When the blue hour comes?
And when your restless heart
Tears your world apart
And everywhere you turn
It's falling down on you
Will there be a light that shines for you?
When the blue hour comes for you
If there's anything that you would have me do
Just call on me and i'll be coming through
I will always be there for you
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes
Good times don't last forever
Sometimes it's now or never
Darling, reach out for me
You know where i'll be
I will always be there for you
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes for you
If there's anything that you would have me do
Just call on me and i'll be coming through
I will always be there for you
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes
I will always be there
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes....(repeat to fade)

windsurfer
Windsurfer
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

Silently i hear the sound of the blue rain coming down.
It's late tonight and i just saw you walking by.
Without one word of hello or goodbye.
Just one look at you with someone new,
And then i knew i'd see you go around in the blue blue rain.
I didn't know one moment ago it could rain this way
You use to run straight to my arms now you turn away.
Oh i never knew such of feeling of blue.
Blue rain blue rain.
Blue rain.
Why did you make me love you than break my heart in two.
Then leave me alone here in the rain to cry for you.
Tomorrow will be filled with the lonely.blue rain.
Blue rain.blue rain.
I remember you all alone,walking on,
And crying,losing you,
In the blue blue rain.

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,

Orbison/curb/christian
Dawn comes up so young, dreams begin so young
And if you live just for today the day may soon be done
But there's a place where dreams always stay so young
A place to hear the sun go down and fade away
To see the wind just run away with yesterday
Anyplace for those who care zabriskie point is anywhere
Time runs out so fast on love too good to last,so young
A time to look forever's there or never found
To touch the sky and really feel the world go round
To live to love to laugh to cry to be alone
Young,so young love was meant to be wild and free
So young young,so young love is space in life
A place in time a state of mind too late i find
When tomorrow's gone and love is lost so young

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

You're gone again this morning.
How long will you keep running on and on.
Can't you see the warning.
I need you more than ever.
Before you're gone forever.
Please don't let your heart run out of time.
Wild hearts run out of time.
When you're up against the night.
Don't stand there all alone.
In the dying of the light.
Wild hearts run out of time.
And you'll need a love like mine.
To show you hope is there.
In the sunshine of your mind.
Wild hearts run out of time.
Don't let this old world turn you.
Dont' let the wild life hurt you anymore.
Don't let the bright lights burn you.
Please don't stand there crying.
Because the time is flying.
I can't let your heart run out of time.
Wild hearts run out of time.
When you're up against the night.
Don't stand there all alone.
In the dying of the light.
Wild hearts run out of time.
And you'll need a love like mine.
To show you hope is there
In the sunshine of your mind.
Wild hearts run of time.
It could be yours or mine.
It happens all the time.
Wild hearts run out of time.
It could be yours or mine.
It happens all the time.

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.

174. _ Cry
(churchill kohlman)
If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye
It's no secret you'll feel better if you cry
When waking from a bad dream
Don't you sometimes think it's real?
But it's only false emotions that you feel
If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song
Remember sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky
So let your hair down and go on and cry

Orbison/dees
Hey here i go a lucky so and so
Happy 'cos i know i've got my fast guitar
Singing pretty songs, knowing i belong
I am first and last, and always a fast guitar
The fastest guitar alive
Rattling strings like a gattling gun
Shaped like a lovely woman
Stay right where you are
My guitar is a fast guitar

I'm rolling on like a rolling stone
Gathering no moss, i play a boss guitar
The fastest guitar alive
Strumming like a battling soldier's drum
Shaped like a lovely woman

My guitar is a fast guitar
The fastest guitar alive
Hey here i go a lucky so and so
Happy 'cos i know i've got my fast guitar

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

Working all day and the sun don't shine
Trying to get by and i'm just killing time
I feel the rain fall the whole night through
Far away from you california blue
California blue dreaming all alone
Nothing else to do california blue
Everyday i pray i'll be on my way
Saving love for you california blue
One sunny day, i'll get back again
Somehow, someway but i don't know when

Living my life with you on my mind
Thinking of things that i left far behind
It's been so long doing all i can do
To get back to you california blue

178. _ You Better Stop (original Title Was Simply "stop" )
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

The summer sun looked down
On our love long ago
But in my heart i feel
The same old afterglow
A love so beautiful
In every way
A love so beautiful
We let it slip away
We were too young to understand
To ever know
That lovers drift apart
And that's the way love goes
A love so beautiful
A love so sweet
A love so beautiful
A love for you and me
And i when i think of you
I fall in love again
A love so beautiful
In every way
A love so beautiful
We let it slip away
A love so beautiful
In every way
A love so beautiful
We let it slip away

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

She come from kansas city, lookin' mighty pretty
She's as sweet as kansas city wine
Oh, it's such a pity, she won't wanna kiss me
She won't hang her love out on the line
No, she won't hang her love out on the line
A mystery to me, she's not what you see
She's a strong, mighty woman who loves to disagree
If i could just talk to her
I know that i could fool her
But she won't hang her love out on the line
She don't care for nothin' she holds onto her lovin'
I wonder if she'd ever change her mind?
I'll fall in behind her, hopin' that i find her
When she hangs her love out on the line
When she hangs her love out on the line
A mystery to me, she's not what you see
She's a strong, mighty woman who loves to disagree
If i could just talk to her
I know that i could fool her
But she won't hang her love out on the line
I'd take her lovin', i'd take her lovin'
I'd take her lovin' anytime
I want her lovin', i need her lovin'
But she won't hang her love out on the line
She won't hang her love out on the line

Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, doing the best you can
Well it's all right, as long as you lend a hand
You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
Waiting for someone to tell you everything
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
Maybe a diamond ring
(chorus 2)
Well it's all right, even if they say you're wrong
Well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
Well it's all right, as long as you got somewhere to lay
Well it's all right, everyday is judgement day
Maybe somewhere down the road aways
You'll think of me, wonder where i am these days
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays
Purple haze
(chorus 3)
Well it's all right, even when push comes to shove
Well it's all right, if you got someone to love
Well it's all right, everything'll work out fine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line
Don't have to be ashamed of the car i drive
I'm glad to be here, happy to be alive
It don't matter if you're by my side
I'm satisfied
(chorus 4)
Well it's all right, even if you're old and grey
Well it's all right, you still got something to say
Well it's all right, remember to live and let live
Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive
(chorus 5)
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

(jack segal/evelyn danzig)
I peeped in to say good night
When i heard my child in prayer
"send for me, some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
All the stores were closed and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In my town no scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
I peeped in and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there
I saw ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
If i live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

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

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

You were always such a hit with me and the boys
What - you need some candy
A magazine, some toys
To take back home

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

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

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

Regi price/jl vanderford
Another day, another night
Another tired old country song
You know, i sing of love delight
But i know it's all wrong
The life i live out on the road
Is one i swear no one could love
Yet i feel i must go on
And sing this tired
This tired old country song
I move around from place to place
But all the towns look just the same
I see the same old face
Losin' still my claim to fame
I'll sing the guitar blues
Drink my drink and pay the dues
Then i guess i'll ramble on
And sing this tired
This tired old country song
Why did i have to compromise
To reach my piece of the fame?
Life could have been so different
In that eight to five game
So i guess i'll settle down
Get my feet back on the ground
Once a country star
Now i'm just a country clown
Hang my guitar on the wall
I won't need it anymore
For i think the time has come
To end this tired
This tired old country song
To end this tired

Now that you're with me i recall.
How much i love you.

Now i'm alright, tonight we're close again.
Touching your hand means that we're close again.
Reaching each other now within
At last we're two are really close again.
How long has it been since we loved like this?,
I'll never ever know.
It seems like only yesterday.
Yet it seems so long ago.
Close again.
Down deep inside we're both are close again.
A love that died can be alive again.
I can survive because you've let me in.
Into your heart so very close again.
So love me,like you loved me when you loved me,
And say that's all you want to do.
I am what i am,and all that i am.
Is in love with you,and only you.
So close again.
That's all that matter,we're close again.
Dreams that were scattered are close again.
Hearts that were shattered begin to mend.
Can't help but cry.
For you and i are close again.

Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is grey
Where time just slips away
Without her as my guide
Night falls i'm cast beneath here spell
Daylight comes our heaven's torn to hell
Am i left to burn
And burn eternally
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
In the night of love words tangled in her hair
Words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cuts like a switchblade to my heart
Words tearing me apart
She tears again my bleeding heart
I want to run she's pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries
Then i just melt away
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
Haunted by her side the darkness in her eyes
But that so enslaves me
If my love is blind then i don't want to see
She's a mystery to me
Night falls i'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes our heaven's torn to hell
Am i left to burn
And burn eternally

John d loudermilk
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.

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.

207. _ Heavy Load
Orbison/price
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....

Don't, don't, don't cry for me

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

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"

And now i find you're not alone

Through the heartache and pain

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

I never could see past yesterday
You feel that everything is gone

215. _ What Kind Of Love
What kind of war are we fighting
What kind of fools are we thought
When will the fighting be over
What is the reason we fought
Why have we forsaken our brothers
What reason can show we were right
What kind of man can justify slaughter
In the face of our children. Why have we decided to
[Chorus ]
lay down in the face of confusion,
to walk in the darkness, run away from the Light
when a lame man with the Love of his Saviour
can rise up and walk into Eternity?s Light
Rise up!
What kind of Love can set us free
What kind of Love...
What kind of Love can lead a world into Eternity
What kind of Love can lead a world into Eternity
What kind of Love can change a world
in the depths of derision to a Kingdom of Life
What kind of Love...
What kind of life are we living
In the shadow of certain demise
When will our suffering be broken
When will the wrongs be made right
Why have we chosen to shelter
ourselves in the house our sin
When will we fall on our face in repentance and
open our eyes, why have we decided to

Why have we decided to...

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

Roy orbison/joe melson
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

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.....

222. _ This Is My Land
Bill dees
The sun on the rim of the view overlooking all that i love
Lights up every leaf and blade, birds circling high above
With trembling hand i reach down and say "this is my land"
This land will pass on to my child, when he's grown
To love it as much as i, for all the sons gone by
And when he's a man he'll do what he can
For this, my land, this is my land
When young men die in glory and for freedom take their stand
May they sing this same proud story, this is my land
Life fade away, and my body is laid to rest on the ground
May this comfort fill my soul more on the land, i know
That those after me say with much dignity
"this is my land, this is my land"

Don't you dare leave your baby alone
He's a modern pied piper on the saxophone
Well fancy dan, man oh man
He's a smoothie
Well fancy dan, don't you understand
He's groovy
Well the boys don't like him but the girlies do
And that's all a part of the plan
They're looking for a romance and they haven't a chance

Everyone you know's been through it
You bite the bullet, then you chew it
Tie a knot at the end of your rope
Buy a book to help you cope
But no consolation gonna come
You're the only one
Take a look at history
Recant some bits of poetry
You'll find the words still ring true
Some things don't change
Some things do
And you're the only one with a broken heart
The only one who's afraid of the dark
The only one in a crowded room
The only one who sees the blue moon
What you wouldn't give right now
To be another face in the crowd
And you're the only one who is all alone
The only one whose love is gone
The only one who has given in
The only one who will give again
And you're the only one with a broken heart
The only one who's afraid of the dark
The only one in a crowded room
The only one who sees the blue moon

If you wanna catch a rabbit in an l-o-g, you gotta make a commotion like a d-o-g
Like a d-o-g, like a d-o-g (oh yes, just like a d-o-g)
Good lord have mercy, what's the matter with me? what makes me wanna love every woman i see?
I'm rating one another, i'm rating again, everyone i see looks like the place i came in
Looks like the place i came in (hot dog) looks like the place i came in (the place i came in)
Lord i got my name printed on my shirt, i ain't no ordinary dude 'cos i don't have to work

What now, my love, now that you've left me
How can i live through another day
Watching my dreams turning to ashes
And my hopes into bits of clay
Once i could see, once i could feel
Now i am numb, i've become unreal
I walk the night without a goal
Stripped of my heart, my soul
What now, my love, now that it's over
I feel the world closing in on me
Here come the stars tumbling around me
There's the sky where the sea should be
What now, my love, now that you've gone
I'd be a fool to go on and on
No one would care, no one would cry
If i should live or die
What now, my love, now there is nothing
Only my last goodbye

I get all that i want just by the wave of a hand
There's nothing on earth that won't obey my command
And now i find that all i need is you

Everything i'd touch would turn to gold and you know it would

I need something else to make my life worth living

249. _ Goodnight
(orbison/dees)
My lovely woman child
I found you out running wild with someone new
You've been untrue, and everybody knows we're through
But i can't say goodbye to you, no matter what you do
My heart won't let you go, although i know you go
With someone new, i think of you
I think of how you kiss, your tenderness
With all of this, i miss the way you say goodnight
Bittersweet, your kisses, when my heart still misses
The way that things used to be, but i know you're strong for
Other arms you long for, and you can never come back to me
Not just for yesterday, tonight or tomorrow
Ah, but forever
I'll hear you say goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight turned out to be a lie
And i can't help it if i cry
Goodnight my love, sleep tight my love
Goodnight

250. _ I Drove All Night
Roy orbison
I had to escape , the city was sticky and cruel
Maybe i should have called you first
But i was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while i drove
The long straight road ahead
Uh-huh, yeah
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night
What in this world keeps us from falling apart?
No matter where i go
I hear the beating of our one heart
I think about you when the night is cold and dark
Uh-huh, yeah
No one can move me the way that you do
Nothing erases this feeling between me and you
I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Is that all right?
I drove all night

251. _ Sooner Or Later
Written by orbison/dees
Sooner or later, i knew you'd win.
Sooner or later, you would be close to me again.
Sooner or later, i knew i would break down and call.
Sooner or later i'd hear your voice and fall in love with you again.
Yeah right or wrong my lonely heart just let you in.
Didn't take long being alone to fall again.
Sooner or later, it had to be.
Sooner or later, you would be close to me.
Sooner or later i knew that i'm not over you.
Sooner or later, i knew i'd fall back in love with you.
It's up to you
Let me know what to do.
Sooner or later.

252. _ Sugar Man
Roy orbison/ bill dees
Look at me walking free, day and night
Here i come, i'm the one to treat you right
I'll make your dreams come true, i'll do what i can
Baby when i do, you can say you knew the sugar man
I can make lemon sweet, yes i can
I can make trick a treat, yes i can
I'm a walkin' honeycomb, complete with candy kisses
Woman come along, you don't want to miss this sugar man
When the temperature drops, call the heater man
When the water stops, call the plumber man
When you're feelin' lonely, you know who to see
Look in the yellow pages of your directory, look for me
Sugar in the mornin', sugar every night
Sugar in between times, sugar anytime
Take me by the hand i wanna be your sugar man
Baby understand, i gotta be your sugar man
Let me be your sugar man, i wanna be your sugar man
I gotta be your sugar man, let me be your sugar man, i wanna be your sugar man....

Baby, when we're walking by and we happen to meet another guy
Don't give him the eye... that's a no no, no no no no, no no no no no
Sugar, when another man wants you to understand
Don't hold his hand... that's a no no, no no no, no no no
No, don't be like some other girls, if you love me, come on let it show
If you ever get tired of me, baby just let me know: no no no no, no no no no no
Sweetheart, when it's party time and you're groovin', everything is fine
Don't forget you're mine... that's a no no, no no no, no no no, no no
Woman when the dance is through and the fella's wait around for you
Dont kiss someone new...that's a no no, no no no, no no no, no no

254. _ Where Does All The Money Go
Orbison/price
Well i love this business, it's been good to me
I've got a different shirt to wear every day can't you see?
The crowds, they respond to me they got my tickets
And you know my pictures ain't free, so i'm asking you, i really wanna know
Where does all the money go?
Well i dig applause, yeah, i get high from that sound
I got roadies, tailors, barbers and bodyguards hangin' round
I got a top rated tv show, they play my records on the radio
But won't you tell me true, there's one thing i've got to know
Where does all the money go?
I got expired credit cards, a pool in my back yard
I bought myself a lot of friends, i got a mortgage on a mansion
And a mid waist expansion and at forty the fun begins
I love this business but it might be the death of me
I've endorsed a lot of products but you don't get me name for free
I'm not really hard to please, just gimme top billing in every press release
And i'm asking you, just listen to my show, where does all the money go?
Well i'll be in this business till i'm under the old oak tree
And the folks will pay a lot of their money just to walk over me
I've got a hungry agent, gets a gig in every nation, and he books for my nominal fee
Well i never saw any cash, but i know somewhere there's got to be one hell of a stash
And the epitaph i want on my headstone is "where did all the money go?"

255. _ Yesterday's Child
Roy orbison/bill dees
I see the face of yesterday's child,
Living in a state of in between.
Is there a place for yesterday's child,
Searching for an unforgotten dream?
Looking for rainbows at midnight,
Hoping tomorrow will come.
Will time erase for yesterday's child?
What will the child become?
I hear the voice of yesterday's child
Echoing my name, my name, my name.
Is there a choice for yesterday's child,
Seeking shelter from the falling rain?
Chasing a butterfly lover,
Making a run for the sun.
Who will rejoice for yesterday's child?
What is the game to be won?
Will you draw?
Will you fold?
Will you start playing wild?
What is the future for yesterday's child?
Will you turn to dust,
Or go to the sea, racing with destiny?
Oh,look at me,
Born to be yesterday's child.

256. _ Only Alive
(blackwell--blackwell)
When you happened by my open eyes could see,
My sleeping hands awoke and almost reached,
I was full of life till you walked on by
Then i went right back to feeling sad and lonely
And only alive.
For a moment my heart began to beat,
My puppet legs responded to your strings,
And my shuffling feet started stepping high
Then i went right back to feeling sad and lonely
And only alive.
For all the things worth living for
Left me for someone new
And all of those things i lost
I was left condemned to a lonely life
Then i went right back to feeling sad and lonely
And only alive.

Now i'm the talk of the town
Of all the fools they drink to
I am the king of the clowns
I play the lonely joker

I throw away my last dime
You're not mine so i waste my time in pantomine.
It's pantomine.
I'm ready for lonely funtimes, yeah
Loud music may dull my mind
Black coffee and electric sunshine
Get set for this pantomine.
I-ay-ay-ay cry inside cause you're not mine
I-ay die-ay-ay-ay inside cause you're not mine

Laughing when i feel like crying
Crying when i feel like dying

Bring on the girls and the parties, yeah
Guitars and drums beating time
Be merry, be gay and hardy, yeah

261. _ You May Feel Me Crying
Jennings/kerr
When we made love, you know we're making love
To everyone we've ever made love to
So when you take him down inside
Just know i'm there with you
And you may feel me crying
And oh, i hope you do
I'm out there somehow all alone
With memories of you
And you may feel me crying
While you're reaching for more
I just hope someday i see you
Standing at my door
It's something i live for
They'll fill you up, i know. with shining dreams
To touch your heart, because you thrill them so
But there's a place they'll never touch
Just you and i can know
And you may feel me crying
And oh, i hope you do
I'm out there somehow all alone
With memories of you
You may feel me crying
While you're reaching for more
I just hope someday i see you
Standing at my door
It's something i live for
There are stronger men than me
And they'll take you on a mountain
And give you all you fear
And you'll do what they desire
You were born to see how long
Yout hand can stand the fire
You may feel me crying
And oh, i hope you do
I'm out there somehow all alone
With memories of you
You may feel me crying
While you're reaching for more
I just hope someday i see you
Standing at my door
It's something i live for

262. _ Blackie Dalton (unreleased)
Orbison/dees
Roy produced and sang backing vocals bill dees sang lead vocal
Blackie dalton was a gun fighter
They say that he was the fastest gun alive
Before you could draw your gun from the holster
You would surely die
Blackie dalton was a gun fighter
He killed three men in abilone and four in wichita
He wounded one in kansas city
Let him live out of pity
He was tired of killing them all
Then one night in a brawl
His brother john got killed in wichita
Defending his brother's name
The blackie dalton fame had brought his brother shame
He got word in tucson about his brother john
They heard him say as he left that day
"i've got to hunt him down
Then i'll throw my gun away"
Lonely night on the trail
He'd listen to the coyotes wail
And sympathise with the cry
For one more man must die
Blackie dalton was a gun fighter
The fastest gun alive is what they say
He caught that man shot him down
Turned and walked away
Yes, he threw his gun away
Blackie dalton was a gun fighter
But he turned his back on the life that he had led
A man remembered from kansas city
Didn't have any pity
He shot blackie dead
Yes he shot blackie dead
Lonely nights on the trail
The cowboys tell a different tale
Blackie didn't really die
No, blackie didn't really die
Blackie dalton was a gun fighter
The fastest gun alive is what they said
He changed his name and in his grave
The kansas man instead
With this marker at his head
"blackie dalton was a gun fighter"

Ooh
It was in pittsburgh late one night
I lost my hat, got into a fight
I rolled and tumbled till i saw the light
Went to the big apple, took a bite
Still the sun went down your way
Down from the blue into the gray
Where i stood i saw you walk away
You danced away
I asked her what we're gonna do tonight
She said "cahuenga langa-langa-shoe box soup"
We better keep tryin' till we get it right
Tala mala sheela jaipur dhoop
She wrote a long letter on short piece of paper
Oh margarita don't stay away too long
Come on home
Oh margarita don't say you will when you won't

264. _ That Loving You Feeling Again
(orbison/c.price)
(roy): when i saw you standing there on the street,
I found myself by your side.
I started wanting you again;
There's just no way to hide
From that old lovin' you feelin' again,
It's really got me reelin' again.
It only seems to stop
To start all over again with you.
(emmy): i remember how you always get
That certain look in your eye.
You're not easy to resist,
But i just walked on by
With that old lovin' you feelin' again.(lovin' you feelin')
It's really got me reelin' again.(lovin' you)
It only seems to stop
To start all over again with you, (lovin' you feelin')
(both): lovin' you feelin' with you.
(roy): we were so close.
(emmy): we were too far apart.
(roy): i gave you my love.
(emmy): i wanted your heart.
(both): without yesterday caught in the way,
Maybe we'd still be together,
Sharing that lovin' you feelin' again.
It's really got me reelin' again.
Will it ever stop and not start over again,
That lovin' you feelin' again?.
No matter how much i try,
This lovin' you feelin' is why
It's taken such a long, long time
To say goodbye.
And getting over you.i's so hard to do
With this feeling loving you.
That lovin' you feelin' again,
Lovin' you feelin' again...
That lovin' you feelin' again
Lovin' you feelin' again...
That lovin' you feelin' again
Lovin' you feelin' again...

265. _ Growing Up
(orbison--dees)
Your life begins when teardrops start, a broken toy, a broken heart
All of these things are just a part of growing up
From kiddie cars to walking shoes from lullabyes to lonely blues
Somehow you never quite get used to growing up
Yeah yeah you're growing up, yeah yeah you're growing up
It's good to know you're growing up.
The wheel of fortune takes a spin
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
But you must play the game again
Drink another cup,you're growing up.
Yeah yeah you're growing up, yeah yeah you're growing up
It's good to know you're growing up.
Heeeeey eeeeey now little one you're growing up
Heeeeey eeeeey now little one you're growing up.
To be a man, to be a woman to understand, takes a lot of growing, growing up
You'll live to learn, you'll learn to live, you'll give to love your love to give
And when you're wise enough you'll know, you're growing up.

(live at the bbc cd)
Help! i need somebody.
Help! not just anybody.
Help! you know i need someone.
Help!
When i was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody´s help in any way.
But now these days are gone i´m not so self assured,
Now i find
I´ve changed my mind, i´ve opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, i´m feeling down,
And i do appreciate you being ´round.
Help me get my feet back on the ground.
Won´t you please, please help me?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then i feel so insecure,
I know that i just need you like i´ve never done before.
Help me if you can, i´m feeling down,
And i do appreciate you being ´round.
Help me get my feet back on the ground.
Won´t you please, please help me?
When i was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody´s help in any way.
But now these days are gone i´m not so self assured,
Now i find i´ve changed my mind, i´ve opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, i´m feeling down,
And i do appreciate you being ´round.
Help me get my feet back on the ground.

Roy orbison/fred foster
Too many quarrels so now we break up.
No there's no chance to ever make-up,
But when they ask me.
I'll say it's my fault.
I'll taje all the blame.
I'll say i was wild,
When i should have been tame.
I'll say it's my fault.
I'll give a good show.
I'll say i'm a needle
That just wouldn't sew.
Ev'ry one will be wondering,
All our friends will inquire.
Which one did the blundering,
Who put out the fire?
So, i'll say it's my fault.
I'll say there's no doubt,
Then cry as i wonder,
Why it didn't work out.

In time to give a reason to live
And to know you'll always be there

For the answer to my prayer
In time to give a reason to live
And to know you'll always be there

Is this empty cup
Just like this coke, my love is gone

On a far and distant shore.
If i stayed away forever.
I could never miss you more.
And so i'm coming home,coming home.i'm coming home.
Coming home,coming home,i'm coming home.
I think of all these years gone by.
Never even wondered why.
I never touched the ground.
All the time that's come and gone.
All the nights i've been alone.
And now i'm homeward bound.
I heard the thunder over canaan.
And i've heard the angels cry.
And their voices came revealing
"as you live,so will you die."
I'm coming home,coming home,i'm coming home.

I said "people, you gonna play this kinda music
Well there's something i would surely like to know
When i was a boy i heard this wild kinda music
And i think they called it, oh, rock and roll
Can you tell me what you know about rock and roll?"
They said "son, it's just a feeling, way down in your soul"
Just a simple story with this wild rock and roll
Yeah, well all the boys in louisiana called it rock and roll
But i'll tell you a secret, it drives the women crazy
And that's all you need to know about rock and roll
Well you could not imagine the shape my head was in
I took me a walk down by the mississippi
When i heard this rockin' out of the harbour inn
I couldn't resist, i had me a drink, then i had me a listen
I said "people, you gonna play this kinda music
There's something that i'd really like to know
When i was a boy i heard this wild kinda music

Bobby bond
There was a man whose memories were made up,
Of nothing.
He pushed the elevator button, and go home,
To nothing.
Yes his business had prospered but women get lonely sometimes, now she has the house
His son in college had dropped out,
To expand his mind.
And sarah, his daughter had not spoken to him.
Maybe he'd raised her the wrong way.
He wondered.
He checked his mailbox, with fingers a-tremblin'
No mail, from anyone.

For at twilight i know, there's a place i must go
To sing my song of love for one who waits all alone.
Yote amo maria, maria amor, yote amo maria, maria mi amor.
Oh the beautiful sights, of the great city lights
Where most people must run to try to have fun, not for me.
For this woman of mine, is much sweeter than wine
And i spend all the time i can find with my marie.
Yote amo maria, maria amor, yote amo maria, maria mi amor.
Oh the joy of my life, will one day be my wife
And we'll spend all our days watching the world roll on by.
When her time comes to fly, to that home in the sky
I pray the angels above will love her as much as i.
Yote amo maria, maria amor, yote amo maria, maria mi amor.

277. _ Fools Hall Of Fame
Wolf freeman
Well if i live to be a hundred, i won't forget the day
I broke the heart you gave me and let you walk away
That's when they hung my name in the fool's hall of fame
Ah baby since we've been apart, i can't console my heart
It cries and cries all night long
Can't i ever make you see this change you've made in me
Just give me a chance to tell you i was wrong
Yes they say that you'll forgive me and end this misery
You know i'll keep on a beggin till you come back to me
Don't leave me here in chains in the fool's hall of fame
Ah baby since we've been apart i can't console my heart
It cries and cries all night long
Baby can't you ever see the change you've made in me
Just give me a chance to tell you i was wrong
Yes they say that you'll forgive me and end this misery
You know i'll keep on beggin till you come back to me
Don't leave me here in chains in the fool's hall of fame
Don't leave me here in chains in the fool's hall of fame..2 xs

Roy orbison
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
She's been missing for 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 stand alone in my room, too blue to even cry
So doggone tired of livin', i could lay right down and die
You're the cause of it all
You're my down fall
Don't blame me for what i do
Baby, you're the cause of it all
Well you promised me your love, a love that would be true
You didn't keep your promise and i don't care what i do
You're the cause of it all
You're my down fall
Don't blame me for what i do
Baby, you're the cause of it all
Well i file my fingernails, staring at the wall
Don't wanna see my friends or anyone that comes to call
You're the cause of it all
Well, you're my down fall
Don't blame me for what i do
Baby, you're the cause of it all
Well the low down dirty blues are closing in on me

He love your sexy body, he loves your dirty mind
He loves when you hold him when you grab him from behind
Oh baby, you're such a pretty thing
I can't wait to introduce you to the other members of my gang
You don't need no wax job, you're smooth enough for me
If you need you oil changed i'll do it for you free
Oh baby, the pleasure would be all mine
If you let me drive your pickup truck and park it where the sun don't shine
Every time he touches you his hair stands up on end
His legs begin to quiver and his mind begins to bend
Oh baby, you're such a tasty treat
But i'm under doctor's orders, i'm afraid to overeat
He love your sense of humor, your disposition too
There's absolutely nothing that he don't love about you
Oh baby, i'm on my hands and knees
Life would be so simple if i only had you to please
Oh baby, turn around and say goodbye
You go to the airport now and i'm going home to cry

You think she's an angel
When she's close to you
But you better watch her, buddy
She'll break your heart in two
Yeah, you'll wake up one day, and then
You'll look back and say "my friend
Yeah, i-i-i-i-i remember when"
I remember those stars in my eyes
I remember she had me hypnotized
I thought our love would never end
But oh, what lies, and i remember when
I thought she was mine
I thought she was fine
I knew she was cool
But she played me for a fool
So don't be swayed by that pretty face
Very soon you're gonna be replaced
Yeah, i-i-i-i-i remember when
I remember when her lips were warm
I remember when she was in my arms
I remember her devil's charm
The living end - oh, i remember when
So go on, believe
That she won't leave
Yeah, be smart and let her
Let her break your heart
Well mark my words, mark my words

Look out now, love has done you wrong
You can be weak, you can be strong
But if you go on you can't look back, dont look back
For you'll never be sixteen again
It might be easy to stop and cry
And let the rest of the world roll by
But if you run for the golden sun, run now, run
For you'll never be sixteen again
Oh no, you'll never be sixteen again, you'll never be sixteen again
No no no no, don't be lonely, there'll always be new romance
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, love is only a win, lose or draw game of chance
And you'll never be sixteen again
Remember the rainbow always follows the rain
True love may be just around the bend
So make time your friend, hearts take time to mend
And you'll never be sixteen again, someday you won't regret, and you'll forget
Ah, but you'll never be sixteen again
Oh no, you'll never be sixteen again, oh no, you'll never be sixteen again

Almost eighteen a lot of sugar and lace
Almost eighteen with an angel face
She says i'm her kind of guy
And if i leave her she'll die uh uh
I'll flip upside down and all the way around
I'm acting like a clown because i think i've found
The cream of the crop, i know i'll never stop
Full skirt, dont flirt, ballerina shoes
Pin slips, two lips that never sing the blues
Almost eighteen, a ribbon in her hair
Almost eighteen, my baby's young and fair
0h-oh, i'll never let her go
Because, oh i love her so, oh-oh
She's gonna have her birthday then we'll run away
We're gonna find a preacher, let him be the teacher
Gonna honeymoon all through the month of june
Darlin' we'll have time until we're ninety nine, yeah yeah
Wedding bells gonna ring, we're gonna be together

I'm so lonely for someone to love
Love star, oh star of love look down so you may see
Someone for me like i'm dreaming of
You see because my heart is shy
Somehow love has passed me by
And noone knows how much i cry
When i'm all alone for a love of my own
Love star, they say for every heart a love star shines
So please, please shine for mine and let me find my love.
You see because my heart is shy

287. _ Memphis, Tennessee
Elvis presley
Long distance information, give me memphis, tennessee.
Help me find the party that tried to get in touch with me.
They would not leave a number, but i know the place to call,
Cause my uncle took a message, and he wrote it on the wall.
Long distance information, get in touch with my marie.
She's the only one who'd phone me here from memphis, tennessee.
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge,
Just a half a mile from the mississippi bridge.
Long distance information, more than that i cannot add.
Only that i miss her and all the fun we had.
But we were torn apart because her mom did not agree,
And tore apart our happy home in memphis, tennessee.
Now, last time i saw marie, she was waving me goodbye,
With "hurry home" drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes.
Marie is only 6 years old. information, please,
Try to put me through to her in memphis, tennessee.
Yes, oh, yes, long distance, i'll accept the charge. i'll pay.
But which loved one is calling me? i did not hear you say.
Both are deep within my heart, her mom and my marie.
It's so good to hear your voice from memphis, tennessee.
Oh, you mean so much to me, more than you'll ever know.
Surely you have not forgot how much i love you so.
If you would remember, dear, and sometimes talk to me.
Maybe that would reunite our home in tennessee.
Last time i saw you, just before i had to leave.
You didn't want to see me off, and promised not to grieve.
My heart was torn apart, as i looked back at marie.
And there the pieces still remain with you in tennessee.
I guess i should stop talking, after all, you placed the call.
But any way that i can help. you know i'll help you all.
Then her mother told me to come back and see marie,
And live together in our home in memphis, tennessee.

Smile an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you gone
'cause that could bring a tear to me
This words have lost their glory,
Let's start a brand new story, now my love
Right now there'll be no other time
And i can show you all my love
Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
I will give you all my life
It's 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

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's 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.

290. _ I Can Read Between The Lines
Roy orbison/joe melson
Girl i got your letter telling me you're coming home tonight
The lines were sweet and tender signed with all your love
Pretty words to make me feel alright
Then i read it over i got the feeling you're not completely mine
I held it to my chest, where you always rest
And i cried 'cos i can read between the lines
Between the lines i see you're making believe
But i can't help it, i still want you
Between the lines it's plain you're playing that old game
But i still love you, and i can't change
Baby i'll be waiting at the downtown station right on time
Reaching out to hold you, the way i always do
I'll pretend that you are only mine
And while i'm loving you i can't read between the lines
While i'm loving you i can't read between the lines

They say the heart must feel it all.
Know every rise and everyfall.
To earn the right to stand in sunlight.
Someday the sun will always shine.
Deep down inside this heart of mine.
And it will be my time.
Rivers keep flowing.
Cold winds keep blowing inside me.
I walk alone.
Hard rain keep fallin'
Lost souls keep callin' so lonely.
I hope i find.
Love in time
Love in time.
You know a man can't always choose.
Love has its rythm and its blues.
I hope it's there for me.
Rivers keep flowing.
Cold winds keep blowing inside me.
I walk alone.
Hard rains keep callin' so lonely.
I hope i find .
Love in time.
Love in time.
I hope i find it.
Shinin' somewhere
Somewhere out there.
There will be love in time.
In time.

293. _ She's A Mystery To Me
(david evans, paul hewson)
Darkness falls & she will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is grey
Where time just slips away
Without her as my guide
Night falls i'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes our heaven's torn to hell
Am i left to burn
And burn eternally
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
In the night of love words tangled in her hair
Words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cuts like switchblade to my heart
Words tearing me apart
She tears again my bleeding heart
I want to run she's pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries
Then i just melt away
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
Haunted by her side the darkness in her eyes
But that so enslaves me
If my love is blind then i don't want to see
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

I go out with the crowd, i play the game
Pretending out loud but it don't seem the same
For the heart of the crowd is gone from sight
My part of the crowd is not with me tonight
I remember the prom, every dance with you
All the crazy things that we used to do
Sometimes we'd wait for a chance
And then we'd steal away
From the crowd and the dance to our hideaway
Aww, but you're gone and it's not the same old game
I fall apart each time i hear your name
Guess i'll go along with the crowd, i'll make believe
That you'll come back to me, run back to me
Hurry back to the crow-ow-ow-owd a-and me-e-e-e-e.

This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California to the New York islands,

This land is made for you and me.
As I was walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway,
I saw below me that golden valley.
This land was made for you and me.
I raomed and rambled, and I followed my foot steps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts.
And all around me a voice was sounding,
This land was made for you amd me.

All down the street they're standin in line
With white lipstick and one thing on their mind
Hey little freak with the lunch pail purse
Underneath the paint you're just a little girl
Dancin at the zombie zoo, dancin at the zombie zoo
Painted in a corner and all you wanna do
Is dance down at the zombie zoo
Cute little dropout, how come you pack a rod?
Is your mother in a clinic? has your father got no job?
Sometimes you're so impulsive you shaved off all your hair
You look like boris karloff and you don't even care
You're dancin at the zombie zoo dancin at the zombie zoo
She disappears at sunrise, i wonder where she goes until
The night comes fallin down again she shows
Up with her friends half-alive
You can make a big impression or go through life unseen
You might wind up restricted and over seventeen
It's so hard to be careful, so easy to be led
Somewhere beyond the pavement you'll find the living dead

You are still with me it seems
A life to live, a love to give,
And you will live in my dreams.
You don't love me,
But you love for me to be in love with you.
You led me on,lured me on
But when i fell you were gone.

Now a song in my heart.
A soft refrain you will remain
To live again and again

I say a silent prayer and somehow i know
He hears me there, though soft i tread above him
So now he sleeps in peace
His danny boy's come home

From glen to glen and down the moutainside
The summers gone and all the leaves are falling
Its you, its you must go and i must bide
O come ye back when the sun shines on the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
For i'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh danny boy, oh danny boy i love you so
I close my eyes and still i can see
Him standing there on the hill
Tears filled his eyes as he waved goodbye to me
I can't forget, i guess i never will
He said, the valley is hushed
The flowers are all dying
The meadow is white with the winter snow
Come find the place
Where you know that i'll be lying
Say a silent prayer

No, you're not there
Imagination brings you so near
I reach for your lips, but they're not here
All of my memories are closing in as one
I walk a little faster, than i start to run
Darkness, only darkness
Land of shadow
That's where my heart goes
Now i'm alone, i'm on my own
I long to hold you, thrill to your charm
But how can i hold shadows in my arms?

Searching in my sadness, looking for the light
But there's darkness, only darkness

Oh, someone else was kissing you
Turn some more, turn some more
Turn some more lights on
Turn them all, turn them all
Turn them all back on
Make him leave, make him leave
Make him leave, leave you alone
I'm standing in the rain
See you there with him
Oh there's so much pain
See the lights so dim
I see you smile that same old smile
In that same old way
But you smiled, you smiled, you smiled at me
Oh yesterday, yesterday

Through shame i hear you whisper you may walk through down in hell
But faith can still move mountains amazing grace has never failed
When i want to do right i do wrong anyway
But jesus, i love you always, yes always
You made it alone on calvery and you hold my hand
Alone i can't make it but with you, i can

Sometimes love will bloom in the springtime
Then like flowers in summer it will grow
And then fade away in the winter
When the cold winds begin to blow
But when it's evergreen, evergreen
It will last through the summer and winter too
When love is evergreen, evergreen
Like my love for you
So hold my hand and tell me
You'll be mine through laughter or through tears
Then let the whole world see, our love will be
Evergreen through all the years
For when it's evergreen, evergreen
It will last through the summer and winter too
When love is evergreen, evergreen
Like my love for you

309. _ Going Back To Gloria
Written by orbison/dees.
Going back to gloria,the girl i'm dreaming of.
Going back to gloria,gloria my love.
Forget about the letters that i wrote to you.
Forget about the many things we used to do.
I don't want you to cry,but i must say goodbye.
So long you're on your own.
Going home,going back to gloria.
Going back to gloria, the girl i'm dreaming of.
Going back to gloria, gloria my love.
I'll keep on pretending that i never cared
And everytime we'll meet i'll act like you're not there.
I will write no more letters.i'll make no more calls.
I can't meet you anymore.
Going home,going back to gloria.
Going back to gloria, going back to gloria.gloria.
Going back to gloria.the girl i'm dreaming of.
Going back to gloria,gloria my love, gloria my love.

310. _ Inseperable
Cindy walker
The sand and the sea are inseperable
And nothing can take them apart
And that's how you will be, forever with me
Inseperable from my heart
The powers that be are unchangeable
And somehow, somewhere are the stars
That can send you to me, and then you will be
Inseperable from my heart
Like the birds in flight
Drifting clouds of white
Shining stars at night
Are fulfilling their destiny
And so are we
For we are born to be inseperable
And nothing can take us apart
Like my heartbeat and me, you will always be
Inseparable from my heart
Inseperable from my heart

311. _ Memories
Orbison/dees
In a cold december, memories can melt your heart away
In a warm september, you can still remember yesterday
Even in the darkest night when dreams fade away
When your love is gone, you'll never be alone in memories
Memories, while walking through a winter snow, memories, when summer breezes start to blow
When true love is far away it may be yours in memories
Memories, while falling leaves just fill the air, memories, when springtime comes and love's not there
Even when you cry, try not to say goodbye to memories
Golden memories can turn the night into day, teach your heart to smile
And live each day a while in memories

312. _ Only You
The platters
Only you can make, oh, this world seem right
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only you, only you
Only you can make, oh, this change in me
For it's true you are my destiny
When you hold my hand i understand the magic that you do
You're my dream come true, my one and only you ]
[ repeat ]

313. _ Ride Away
Orbison/dees
Two wheels a turnin'
One girl a yearnin'
Big motor burnin' the road
I'll ride the highway
I'm going my way
I'll leave a story untold
Pretty girls behind me but pretty girls are everywhere
Big motor wind up, ride away from here
Ride away
She won't approve of things i do or what i am
And i don't really give a ...... i understand
But she'll never see that i'll never be
Any one but me
She thinks she needs me, she cries for me
But i know she's lying, crying for others to see
What can i say, i'll just ride away
Big motor run run (background) ride ride away
Ride on away from big motor run run
Heart-ache and misery
I'm bound to wander
Way over yonder
Someone be waitin' just for me
True love to cling to, i need a dream to share
Someone to know me, someone to show me they care
Ride away, ride away
>from tears and sorrow
Like there's no tomorrow
Tonight i'll ride away

Fool about my money don't try to save

Shag it on down to the union hall
When the music starts jumpin'

Along about 10 i'll be flying high
Rocking on out into the sky
I don't care if i spend my gold
'cause tonite i'm gonna be one happy soul

315. _ Best Friend
Orbison/dees
Lalalalala...............
An old man on his death bed whispered to me "you are the master of your destiny"
A diamond is a diamond a stone a stone but a man's not all good nor all bad
Call them as you see them you'll stand alone you're the best friend that you ever had oh yeah
You're the best friend that you ever had
So laugh when it's time to laugh, cry when it's time to cry, live while it's time to live
You'll die when it's time to die lalalalalala....................
Then he closed his eyes and left me alone, my old friend's death brought his wisdom home
A diamond is a diamond a stone a stone but a man's not all good nor all bad
Call them as you see them you'll stand alone, you're the best friend that you ever had oh yeah
You're the best friend that you ever had
So laugh when it's time to laugh cry when it's time to cry
Live while it's time to live you'll die when it's time to die

317. _ Time To Cry
Orbison/dees
I see through teardrops
That old clock on the wall
The hands are far apart
They tell me that my heart misses you
And you're not with me
Guess it's time to cry
Yes it's time to cry
I hear the doorbell
The postman just came by
All he ever brings
Are bills and nothing things
Oh no, he returned your letter
And it's time to cry
Yes it's time to cry
Time to cry
Ever since you said goodbye
Time to cry
What else can i do but cry over you?
I just can't stand it
The telephone won't ring
The sun is out of sight
Another lonely night begins
And you're not mine
Guess it's time to cry
Yes it's time to cry

318. _ Wings Of Glory
Orbison/price
I could ride on wings of glory
To a mountain in the sky
With fantasies and dreams of love
Too beautiful to die
And step into the door
That time will never close
With promises of all desire
And love no other knows
No other knows
When am i gonna stop reaching for a rainbow?
You know i always wanted to fly
Could i reach the top, even with the moonglow
Blinding both of my eyes?
Some resist the urge
While tempted all the more
All can feel their weakness
Should they walk in the door
As we ride on wings of glory
Together we sill fly
To live our dreams and fantasies
To music in the sky
In the sky
When am i gonna stop reaching for a rainbow?
You know i always wanted to fly
Could i reach the top, even with the moonglow
Blinding both of my eyes?

319. _ Cold Cold Heart
Hank williams
I tried so hard my dear to show
That you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing i do
Is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past
Keeps us so far apart
Why can't i free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold cold heart?
Another love before my time
Made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now
For things i didnt do
In anger unkind words are said
That makes the teardrops start
Why can't i free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold cold heart?
There was a time when i believed
That you belonged to me
But now i know your heart is shackled
To a memory
The more i learn to care for you
The more we drift apart
Why can't i free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold cold heart?

Roy orbison
I've been away from you for so long
Still every time i think of us i get blue
But all i can do is dream you
I close my eyes and love so warm and tender
Feel you touching me, i close my eyes
I don't even have to try it comes so easily
I don't know why i ever let us drift apart
But look who's sorry now cause every time
I wake up and you're not around it only brings me down
Oh baby, all i can do is dream you, all i can do is dream you
Oh baby, all i can do is dream you, all i can do is dream you
Here i go dreaming you
Everyday i pray, that somewhere down the line
We will meet again, i'll find a way
To get you back somehow, but baby until then
Oh baby,all i can do is dream you, all i can do is dream 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

Pretty woman, the kind i like to meet
Pretty woman, i don't believe you
You're not the truth
No one could look as good as you

Pretty woman, won't you pardon me
Pretty woman, i couldn't help but see
Pretty woman, and you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me
Pretty woman, stop a while
Pretty woman, talk a while
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
Pretty woman, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me
Cause i need you
I'll treat you right
Come with me baby
Be mine tonight
Pretty woman, don't walk on by
Pretty woman, don't make me cry
Pretty woman, don't walk away
Ok
If that's the way it must be, ok
I guess i'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night
But wait, what do i see?
Is she walking back to me?
Yeah, she's walking back to me
O-oh

329. _ Heading For The Light
I've wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands
I was lost in the night with no sight of you
And at times it was so blue and lonely
Heading for the light
Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails
I've rolled and i've tumbled through the roses and the thorns
And i couldn't see the sign that warned me, i'm
Heading for the light
(bridge 1)
Ooh - i didn't see that big black cloud hanging over me
And when the rain came down i was nearly drowned
I didn't know the mess i was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but i feel a lot of change
And i get the strangest feeling, as i'm
Heading for the light
(bridge 2)
Ooh - my hands were tired
Jokers and fools on either side
But still i kept on till the worst had gone
Now i see the hole i was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but i feel a lot of change
And i get the strangest feeling, as i'm
Heading for the light
I see the sun ahead, i ain't never looking back
All the dreams are coming true as i think of you
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light

330. _ I Recommend Her
Mathis/henley/brown
Well, if you want someone to tear your world apart
Someone who will give it evrything she's got
If you wanna learn to cry, i recommend her
If you want someone who's really qualified, guaranteed broken heart every time
If you wanna learn to cry, don't let this chance pass you by
I recommend this girl to you, i recommend this girl to you
She's had plenty of experience along this line, oh so many times
She's torn apart this heart of mine, it's fascinating, the way she operates
She'll put you down when you think you're finally getting someplace
I recommend this girl to you, i recommend this girl to you, yes i do
If you want your dreams to end before they begin
Someone who will ruin your life, and then laugh while you cry
Don't let this chance pass you by
I recommend this girl to you, i recommend this girl to you
I recommend her, i recommend her, i recommend her, i recommend her....

You fool you, remember yesterday
Your baby walked away, away, from you.
So there you go, come running back again
Stars in your eyes, be leading lights
Your hungry heart still longs for love
You think she'll win, and so you pretend
You fool you, that's what my friends all say
You fool you, don't throw your love away
You fool you, remember yesterday
Your baby walked away, away, from you.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh,

Well down through the ages. woman's had a time
Tryin' to get her man to walk the chalk line
To keep him on a string with a kiss and a hug
But there's never been a man who wasn't bitten by the bug
Yeah rockin' and rollin' with the bug
Rollin' and strollin' with the bug
Itchin' and twitchin' singin' and swingin'
Yeah with the bug
Well delilah loved sammy, but he wouldnt stay home
Always runnin' and leavin' dee home
She set out to find sammy late one night
Found him down at the sand dune rockin' it right
He was rockin' and rollin' with the bug
Rollin' and strollin' he had the bug
Itchin' and twitchin' singin' and swingin'
Yeah with the bug
Well helen of troy a cool smile on her face
She sported the face that launched a thousand ships
But she couldn't control the wiggle in her hips
She lost her fame and fortune, just one flip
Well rockin' and rollin' with the bug
Rollin' and strollin' had the bug
Itchin' and twitchin' singin' and swingin'
Yeah with the bug
And josephine, had trouble from the start
She couldn't keep her eye on little bonoparte
Every single time that josie looked around
She found her bony runnin' round and round
He was rockin' and rollin' with the bug
Rollin' and strollin' had the bug
Itchin' and twitchin' singin' and swingin'
Yeah with the bug
Well now, are modern times the same as history
Even in the twentieth century
And our future now, oh yes it's plain to see
If we don't look out, the bug will get you and me
We'll be rockin' and rollin' with the bug
Rollin' and strollin' with the bug
Itchin' and twitchin' movin' and groovin'

You give me the feeling of ascending.
Touching down and lifting off on feeling.
Rising through the thunder and the lightning.
Til i kmow the wonder so exciting.
The world below us doesn't know us.
Still they try to follow where we run.
Between you and me.
Ooh, you're the one.
You, kissing my breath away.
You, sharing our yesterdays.
You tomorrow.
Lead i'll follow.
When i hold you, i am undone.
You're the one.
You're the one.
Ridingd trough the heaven of sensation
Taken in your sunshine,sweet vibration.
Holding nothing back,you're my elation.
Trough the night my sighless fascination.
You hold me in and out of dreams.
Awake,asleep and loving leaves me stunned.
Between you and me.
Ooh you're the one.
You,kissing my breath away.
You, sharing our yesterdays.
You tomorrow.
Lead i'll follow.
When i hold you, i am undone.
You're the one.

I made him climb to believe it never would
And now i, i look at the night, whooo
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh

Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can i hurt when holding you
Oh, one, touching one, reaching out

Well the girls all think that he's a real gone guy
They all flip when he walks by
Long sideburns and cool white shoes
Ready to go and never sings the blues

Well he's six foot two with a real dark tan
Got all the women in the palm of his hand
Coal black hair and a solid style
Baby blue eyes and a crazy smile

I hope you recall all of our fun
So long, be sweet and remember
When you want me back, think of what you've done
You've lost a guy who loved you, don't say i didn't try
This time i'm gone forever, i've said my last goodbye

Mayan moon was burning
We saw visions of the past returning
On the shore the band was playing
We all heard what the moon was saying
The world keeps closing in
It has before, it will again
A voice beyond the wind
Says we must go beyond the end
So follow beyond the end
A sea of friends are singing
"vaya con dios mis amigos"
We take their hopes and feelings
To some new world we'll be revealing
Old worlds keep closing in
They have before they will again
Voices call beyond the wind
Say we must go beyond the end
And follow beyond the end
Old worlds keep closing in
They have before they will again
Voices call beyond the wind
Say we must go beyond the end
Old worlds keep closing in
They have before they will again
Voices call beyond the wind
Say we must go beyond the end
And follow beyond the end....

Traveling wilburys
She was there at the bar, she heard my guitar
She was long and tall, she was the queen of them all
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night
She was dark and discreet, she was light on her feet
We went up to her room and she lowered the boom
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night
(bridge 1)
Down below they danced and sang in the street
While up above the walls were steaming with heat
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night
I was feeling no pain, feeling good in my brain
I looked in her eyes, they were full of surprise
Last night, talking about last night
Last night, talking about last night
(bridge 2)
I asked her to marry me she smiled and pulled out a knife
The party's just beginning she said, it's your money or you life
Last night, talking about last night
Last night, talking about last night
Now i'm back at the bar, she went a little too far
She done me wrong, all i got is this song
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night

345. _ Tweeter And The Monkey Man
Traveling wilburys
Tweeter and the monkey man were hard up for cash
They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash
To an undercover cop who had a sister named jan
For reasons unexplained she loved the monkey man
Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to vietnam
And found out the hard way nobody gives a damn
They knew that they found freedom just across the jersey line
So they hopped into a stolen car took highway 99
(chorus)
And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
The undercover cop never liked the monkey man
Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to a rackateer named bill
She made secret calls to the monkey man from a mansion on the hill
It was out on thunder road - tweeter at the wheel
They crashed into paradise - they could hear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up and said "everyone of you's a liar
If you don't surrender now it's gonna go down to the wire
(chorus)
An ambulance rolled up - a state trooper close behind
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind
The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree
Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory
Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit
He was taking the whole thing personal
He didn't care about the loot
Jan had told him many times it was you to me who taught
In jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught
(chorus)
Someplace by rahway prison they ran out of gas
The undercover cop had cornered them said "boy, you didn't
Think that this could last"
Jan jumped out of bed said "there's someplace i gotta go"
She took a gun out of the drawer and said "it's best if you dont' know"
The undercover cop was found face down in a field
The monkey man was on the river bridge using tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the monkey man "i'm not fooled by tweeter's curl
I knew him long before he ever became a jersey girl"
(chorus)
Now the town of jersey city is quieting down again
I'm sitting in a gambling club called the lion's den
The tv set been blown up, every bit of it is gone
Ever since the nightly news show that the monkey man was on
I guess i'll to to florida and get myself some sun
There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done
Sometime i think of tweeter, sometime i think of jan
Sometime i don't think about nothing but the monkey man
(chorus)

346. _ Double Date
Roy orbison/ jack clement
Me and my buddy went on a double date
I was feeling great, i could hardly wait
I got my lovin' baby and introduced my friend
He fell for her, she fell for him
On a double date, on a double date
Now my baby's gone, i'm all alone
All because of a double date, of a double date
Then my one time buddy went on a double date
He was feeling great, he couldn't hardly wait
He got my loving baby and introduced his friend
Ha ha, and then that was the end
On a double date, on a double date
Now my baby's gone, i'm all alone
All because of a double date, of a double date
Of a double date, of a double date....

347. _ In The Real World
(jennings/kerr)
In dreams we do so many things
We set aside the rules we know
And fly the world so high
In great and shining rings
If only we could always live in dreams
If only we could make of life
What, in dreams, it seems
But in the real world
We must say our goodbyes
No matter if the love will live
It will never die
In the real world
There are things that we can't change
And endings come to us
In ways that we can't rearrange
I love you, and you love me
But sometimes we must let it be
In the real world
In the real world
When we were dreaming heart to heart
I wish that we had stayed right there
For when the dreamers do awake
The dreams do disappear
In the real world
There are things that we can't change
And endings come to us
In ways that we can't rearrange
I love you, and you love me
But sometimes we must let it be
In the real world
In the real world

348. _ Rings Of Gold
Gene thomas
I remember when you said
"with this ring i thee wed"
Now you've gone betrayed my trust
Rings of gold have turned to rust
Tears can't wash away the sin
Love that's dead can't live again
Knowing there's no hope for us
Turns those rings of gold to rust
Plans we made just yesterday
Sands of time have chipped away
Now they've crumbled into dust
Love before was clean and pure
Never more can i be sure
You will not betray my trust
Rings of gold have turned to rust
Rings of gold have turned to rust
