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.

And charm from her head to her feet

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

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

"roy orbison wants to get together again"

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

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

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

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

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

And i never get tired of the taste"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One last thing to say
Life fades away.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Child woman, woman child you're driving me wild child woman woman child

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

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).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wyoming night time could be a comedown, where do i go for a relapse?

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

Cheyanne, cheyanne still try an' steal my heart away
Cheyanne, cheyanne

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

To cheyanne, cheyanne, get me high an' steal my heart away

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

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....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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,
Roll up and spend your last dime

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

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

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

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

Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Sweer dreams....

It's a long and lonely highway.
When you're traveling all alone.
I was on my way to nowhere.
But now i'm coming home.
I'm coming home.

I've been running through the fire.
I've been running for so long.
If i took it any higher.
Baby i would be still be gone.

And now i'm coming home,
Coming home.
I'm coming home.
I'm coming home, coming home
Coming home.

Well my home was really never.
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.
I'm coming home,coming home,
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 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'm coming home,coming home,
Coming home.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There it goes

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

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

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

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

[whistling interlude]

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

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

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"?

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

Orbison/dees

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.

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

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

(words & music by walker - arnold)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Boudleaux bryant

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

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

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

Roy orbison/will jennings/j.d.souther

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I belong to him, i belong to him

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

I belong to him, i belong to him

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bill dees

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

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

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

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

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

Orbison/melson

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

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

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

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

Mickey newbury

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(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.

D folger

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

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

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

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

Joe and suzie melson

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

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

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

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

Oh i've been loving you a little too long
I dont wanna stop now, oh with you my life,

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

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

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

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

Roy orbison

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

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

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

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

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

Joe melson/ glenn barber

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

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

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

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

Barry gibb/larry gatlin

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Anything you want
Anything you need
Anything at all

I'm glad to give my love to you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

John fogerty

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

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

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

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

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

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

(orbison/dees)

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

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

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

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

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

Orbison/dees

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

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

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

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

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

Take the breeze and shake the trees
And make wildflower mine

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I was a fool, i only wanted you

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

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

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

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

Recorded 1964 by sue thompson

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

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

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

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

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.......

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Well, you can't be my lovin' baby
You ain't got the style

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

Yeah, i'm gonna show you ain't so hot
I'm gonna get what you ain't got
She'll be sweet, won't do me wrong
She'll be cool and twice as gone
We're gonna roll on, roll on down the line
I'm gonna get some love, lovin' that's truly fine
Well, i wanna move on down the line

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(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

Written by orbison/dees.

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

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

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

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

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

1956 released 1995 the teenkings: "are you ready"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
The fastest guitar alive

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
Stay right where you are
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
The fastest guitar
The fastest guitar
The fastest guitar alive

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

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

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

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

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

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....

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

When evening shadows fall.
I'm not lonely at all.
Now that you're with me i recall.
How much i love you.

Close again.
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

You're my girl.you're my girl
Baby doll, baby, baby, hold me tight.
Be mine tonight, say it's alright.
And i will never, ever let you go, oh...
You're my girl, be my girl,
You're my girl.you're mine,
You're my girl.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Don't worry 'bout me, don't shed one tear
Don't feel sorry, it's been a real good year
Ah, that's sweet of you, don't you cry now

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(w.orbison/c. wiseman)

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

Orbison/dees

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?

Orbison dees

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

Orbison/dees

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

For a while i can sing
All the world and everything is touching you
Knowing you are real a miracle beside me

For a while i can breathe
Life is you, and i can cling to fantasies
Seeing me with you keeps my soul alive now

Tomorrow, if i die
At least i'll know why i live
You're mine, if only for a while

For a while, for a while
You hold my world and you can spin it
For a while, for a while
Life is good because you're in it

Tomorrow, if i die
At least i'll know why i live
You're mine, you are mine, if only for a while

Terry widlake

You've got the loving touch that i need so much
You've got the loving touch that i need so much
No matter how i try your love i couldn't buy
Cause i need so much of your love

I've got the world at my fingers and it stands at my feet
I can fly to the moon or i can sleep in the street
There's nothing in this world i couldn't do
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

Repeat chorus

I could give the world for you to hold and you know i could
Everything i'd touch would turn to gold and you know it would
But i need something else that's only yours for the giving
I need something else to make my life worth living

Repeat chorus 2 times

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)
