(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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"roy orbison wants to get together again"

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

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

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

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

(spoken) "you never get tired of it's taste coke after coke"

Things go better with coke #2
Orbison/dees

"roy orbison takes a break"

Stayed out too late, at work at eight, don't wanna wait for that ten o' clock break
Big man, if you can, let me go for a coke right now
For things go better with coca cola, things go better with coke
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

(spoken) "sometimes on big jobs i drink coke after coke after coke
And i never get tired of the taste"

Yeah, things go better with coke

Things go better with coke #3
Orbison/dees

Things go better with coca cola, things go better with coke
Life is fun when you're refreshed and coke refreshes you the best, ah-ah
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
Things go better with coca cola, things go better with coke

Life is fun when you're refreshed and coke refreshes you the best
So things go better with coca cola, yeah, things go better with coke

Things go better with coke #4

Run,run baby run
Run baby run, run baby run

Run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, back into my arms
Run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, back into my arms

Even though you hurt me
I still love you, it's true
Even though i know that you will hurt me again
I will love you as i did then

Run,run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, back into my arms
Run,run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, back into my arms

I'm not the kind of guy
To ever hurt you or let you down
So if that guy you're seeing ever makes you cry
Leave him, tell him goodbye

Run,run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, back into my arms
Run,run baby run, run baby run
Run baby run, run baby run....

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....

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.
I was born for you.
Born to be with you, only you.
Born to be loved by you.
Born for you, born for you baby.
Born for you, born for you baby.
Born for you, born to be loved by you
(you and only you) born to be with only you.

I look at you and all at once i know that dreams come true.
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.
Heart and soul,born to be loved
Born to be loved.born to be loved by you.
(you and only you,born to be with only you)
Born for you.born for you baby.
Born for you.born for you baby.
Born for you, born for you baby..

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.

Bum bum bum da de da oh oh oh yeah yeah
Bum bum bum da de da ah come back to me my love
Come back to me

16 years ago today early one sunday morn
Just before the break of day a cute little girl was born
From that very moment on her life's been gay and free
Laughing eyes and loving ways as sweet as she could be

Bum bum bum da de da oh oh oh yeah yeah
Bum bum bum da de da ah come back to me my love
Come back to me

We had a quarrel i can't forget the night i made her cry
Her tender heart just fell apart as she said good-bye
Now today is her birthday my baby's sweet 16
But someone else is in my place to hold my every dream
Bum bum bum da de da oh oh oh yeah yeah
Bum bum bum da de da ah come back to me my love
Come back to me

(the pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue)



Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Wrap your presents to your darling from you

Pretty pencils to write i love you

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue



Crowded street, busy feet, hustle by him

Downtown shoppers, christmas is nigh

There he sits all alone on the sidewalk

Hoping that you won't pass him by



Should you stop? better not, much too busy

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

In the distance the ringing of laughter

And in the midst of the laughter he cries



Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Wrap your presents to your darling from you

Pretty pencils to write i love you

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Hey boys, gather round boys, the money's right
Go down to low town for me tonight
Walk onto forty four and knockon that big black door
Lay some money on that man
And get the very best table you can

Well,there's a soul band's wailing behind the beat,
And they cook when the blue lights spin.
There's a

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
Poor baby
Poor baby,poor baby
Poor baby,poor baby

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

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

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

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

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

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?

(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

(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.

She knows how to love me
Yes indeed, boy you don't know

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

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

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

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

(roy orbison)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If i my friend can't tell you.
When you my friend are wrong.
Not to do what you want to
Just because it's wrong.

Well then my friend in passing.
We've been friends too long.
And i my friend must tell you,
Leave that woman alone.

Your little girls might not understand,
And you know the baby would cry.
And what would you do if their mommy knew,
And she told you "goodbye"?

Let it end my friend say it's over,
And thank the stars above.
That you've got a home to run to,
And a sweet sweet woman to love.
I must say my friend if you stay my friend.
Leave that woman alone.leave my woman alone.

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

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

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

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

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

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

We never find the time to be close again

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

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

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

There it goes

When it's right, it's all right
When it's wrong, it's all wrong
When it's gone, it's all gone

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

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

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"?

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

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

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

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

Oh yeah, well that's the way it goes

Barbara, oh would you do the same again?
Barbara, bye bye, won't be coming round tonite
Why did you tell me all those lies?

Only with you, only with you
I can be a master at anything i do
Only with you, only with you
I found the end of the rainbow my golden treasure too
Only with you, only with you
The sun looks good in the morning and i love the night time too
Only with you, only with you

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

When tears are in your eyes, i will dry them all

When times get rough and friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

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

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

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

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

I was a clown when i thought i had found
A love for me and only me but she laughed at the clown
Turned him down turned him down

I never frown ah, ah, ah, i'm the clown
For it breaks my heart i play the part of a clown
Runnin round trouble bound i'm the clown

I wander all around wondering if you ever cared
I go from place to place, i look from face to face
Hoping that you will be there

All over town the word is out it's all around
That i love her still guess i always will i'm the clown
Runnin round trouble bound i'm the clown

You're the mind of a child
A pretty whirlwind

You don't know just what you're doing
When you love me with your smile
A lovely whirlwind

A whirlwind of warm desire
Whirlwind, burning fire woman, realize
That the devil in disguise, is a whirlwind
Born to be running wild and free
Whirlwind

Born to make fools of guys like me
You pick me up like a whirlwind
You put me down like a whirlwind
Each time you touch me i'm trouble-bound

She loves me even better than i thought she would
I'm on my way to her house and i'm plumb out of breath
When i see her tonight, i'm gonna squeeze her to death

Claudette, pretty little pet
Claudette, never make me fret, claudette
She's the sweetest little girl that i've ever met
Got the best love that i'll ever get from claudette
Pretty little pet claudette

Well i'm a lucky man my baby treats me right
She's gonna let me hug and kiss and hold her tight
When the date is over and we're at her front door
When she kiss me goodnight i'll holler "more, more, more!"

Claudette, pretty little pet, claudette
Never make me fret, claudette
She's the greatest little...
Greatest little girl that i've ever met
Got the best love that i'll ever get from claudette

Well when me and my new baby have a date or three
I'm gonna ask my baby if she'll marry me
I'm gonna be so happy for the rest of my life
When my brand-new baby is my brand-new wife

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

(orbison)

Tell me why you left me, tell me why you cry
Tell you why i stayed around, tell me why she lied

I'll tell why my heart's broken, tell me why she said goodbye
Tell me why she left me, i'll tell you why you cry

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

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

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

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.

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

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...

(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.

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

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

(don gibson)

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
Mmmm...

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

You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

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

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

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

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I was a fool, i only wanted you

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

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

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

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

(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.......

Bye bye love bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness i think i'm gonna cry
Bye bye my love goodbye
There goes my baby with someone new
She sure looks happy i sure am blue

She was my baby 'tlll he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been
Bye bye love bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness i feel like i could die
Bye bye my love goodbye

I'm free from romance i'm through with love
I'm through with counting the stars above
And here's the reason that i'm so free
My loving baby is through with me

Bye bye love bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness i think i'm gonna cry
Bye bye my love goodbye
Bye bye my love goodbye

Unknown - unreleased song circa 1969

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
Windsurfer

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

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

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

If your love for me is just temporary
I'd rather not know
Just let me make believe a while

And if i'm not in your plans for a lifetime
I'd rather not know
Just let me make believe a while

Just like a child at play
I'll make believe you'll stay
And if you go away
I'll always miss my best playmate

So if your sweet kiss is just for the moment
I'd rather not know
Just let me make believe a while
Just let me make believe a while

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

(orbison--dees)

Sugar and honey, is what i cry for
Sugar and honey, is what i'd die for
And darlin' doll you make my life worthwhile
Because i want you sugar and honey.

Sugar and honey, is what i live for
Sugar and honey, for the flavor

A little bit-a sugar, a whole lotta honey
It's alright sugar and honey, mornin' noon and night
Yeah sugar and honey anytime, ah sugar and honey all the time
I need sugar and honey anytime.

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.
Wild hearts run out of time.
Wild hearts run out of 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.

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.

You'd be loving me.you'd still be mine.

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

(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

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
California blue california blue

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

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

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
She won't hang her love out on the line
No,she won't hang her love out on the line
She won't hang her love out on the line

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

Love laughed at you and made you blue
Now here's what you should do

Well laugh, though your heart is breaking in two
Yeah laugh, don't let them know he hurt you
Well laugh and pretend true love will come again
Yeah laugh, laugh and laugh

Laugh, though the one you love is really gone
Yeah laugh, even though you'll be alone
Yeah laugh and pretend true love will come again
Yeah laugh, laugh and laugh

Well let me hear you laugh now
Though it's hard, so hard for you to do
Laugh with me, cos you see
I've been there too

Well laugh and pretend true love will come again
Yeah laugh and believe it's not the end
Yeah laugh like a clown
Don't let your heart break down
Yeah laugh, laugh and laugh

Love laughed, it's true
But look at you
Now you're laughing too

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

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
This tired old country song

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Congratulations

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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....

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.

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
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
She's a mystery girl

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 want to talk to folks back home again, to walk along a lonely country lane
To spend some time with that woman of mine, heading south, heading south

Things look bright and i feel alright yeah i'm heading south

Heading south to see the sun go down on camp fire light,to join the singing at night
Heading south to cotton rows and honeysuckle bloom
Under the cumberland moon heading south, heading south

Give me room to travel on my way to a place where dreams all fade away
Where the river flows and tobacco grows heading south heading south
Cause the sun is hot and people love a lot yeah i'm heading south

Heading south to see the sun go down on camp fire light, to join the singing at night
Heading south to cotton rows and honeysuckle bloom under the cumberland moon

Walking down the street
Pretty woman
Ah, you look so neat
How did you get that way?

....oh. pretty woman

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

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

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

Ah . . aaaah . . aaah,
I wonder.

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

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"

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.

When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.

Talk about troubles, i tell you i got 'em shovellin' sand on the mississipi bottom
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I killed me a man in shelby county, they turned me in for the government bounty
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Tennessee owns my soul, that little georgia gal just wouldn't listen
She tried to run away with stoney lee i caught him and i put him six feet under
I wonder if he misses me? tennessee owns my soul

Rottin' in a cell i try to forget her, wishin' like hell i'd never ever met her
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Gotta get away, gotta see my baby, gotta leave tonight, she's drivin' me crazy
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Tennessee owns my soul, if i can get as far as lookout mountain
Highway twenty four will carry me to the girl i killed another man for
Even then i know i won't be free, tennessee owns my soul
I make it to the top of the twenty foot wall, the guard - i'm hit, and i think i'm gonna fall
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Laying on a broken back and cryin', everything's goin' black and i'm dyin'
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah tennessee owns my soul, tennessee owns my soul

Baby, my baby you accuse me of flirting and hurting you no end
You say baby i'm a cheater
You oughta know that cheaters never win
Because it takes one to know one who will hurt you
It takes one to know one who'll make you blue
It takes one to know one like i know you
You're my kind hold my hand, use your mind understand

Baby, my baby don't blame me for playing and saying things unkind
You think baby i'm a loser
But i could win if you were close behind me
Because it takes one to know one who will love you
It takes one to know one who will cry for you
It takes one to know one like i know you
You're my kind hold my hand, use your mind understand

Baby, baby we're birds of a feather, baby, baby we'll live together
Baby i'm yours you are mine
And it takes one to know one, it takes one to know one
Yes it takes one to know one every time

Share me and you so dry your eyes, little girl, dry your eyes,

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

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

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

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

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

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

Class of 55
Early one morning it was drizzling rain round the curve came the memphis train
Heard somebody holler, and a million more, the king is dead, but lord he still ain't gone
But he still ain't gone, but he still ain't gone (my god, my god he still ain't gone)

If you wanna get to heaven, gotta d-i-e. you got to put on your coat and your t-i-e
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
I just got to town and i'm gone again, but it's a different track, but it's the same old train
It's the same old train, it's the same old train (oh god, my god it's the same old train)
