(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.

Hello, may i have this dance with you?

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

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

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

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

Be my girl, you're my girl.
I still don't believe it
He played around on you.
When all the time he knew
I loved you too

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

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

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

Joe melson/ don gant

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....

Orbison/dees

Coffer cafe's dizzy with city lights, concrete sidewalks busy with friendly fights
But that's alright baby, it's alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
Loud paper boys yelling yesterday's news, a pedlar man selling what you can't use
That's alright baby, it's alright come go with me, you will see city life, city life

I need you when the sun goes down, you pick me up when you're around
Come on, come on now, we can have a good time, this town ain't much unless you're here with me
It's like a woman, crazy just like a puppy, lazy
Just like a pretty jealous wife, i can't get free from city life

Secluded bars humming behind the scenes, hot wild guitars strumming, promising dreams
That's alright baby, it's alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
I don't want to be alone, stay with me now, don't go home
It's a date, we'll stay out late and party, city lifes okay when you're with me

It's like a lion sleeping just like a willow weeping,
A melting pot for fun and strife can't get away from city life
City life baby, city life, it's alright baby, it's alright city life, city life....

You got two lips that look so fine
You got one heart i wish was mine

What a life what a day i'm in love all the way
I'm in good with lady luck ah hah baby i've a been lovestruck
I'm in love ah hah i'm in love oh yeah
Well i feel like i was hit by a truck ah hah baby i've a been lovestruck

Well true love came just in time, in time to save this heart of mine
Cupid came and i forgot to duck ah hah baby i've a been lovestruck
I'm in love ah hah i'm in love oh yeah
Well look at me grin and watch me strut ah hah baby i've a been lovestruck

Well.....it's a great life everything's o.k.

I'm glad that i met lady luck, i'm glad that i forgot to duck
And i'm glad that i've been lovestruck

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

Lots of loves are precious
Lots of loves are true
But they can't make the kind of love
I get from loving you

Sweet and innocent is your love to me
The way you hold me not too tight
The tender way you kiss goodnight
Makes you the one exactly right for me

Young and beautiful
Is the love i get from you
They say that you dont know the score
For this i love you even more
Young and beautiful, sweet and innocent

Sweet and innocent
Like the love i get from you
They say that you don't know the score
For this i love you even more
Young and beautiful, sweet and innocent

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

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

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

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

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

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

Orbison/c & r price
Glittery eyes; witchy smiles
A good time is all you are after
Skin tight thighs; little white lies
Put you in the center of the laughter

But your reign of queen is over
Your fortress has been broken down
You're still the center of the laughter
But your role has changed to the clown

Chorus
Ooh poor baby
Someone broke your heart in two
Ooh poor baby
Who would have thought it could happen to you
Poor baby

A pretty face; sweet talkin' ways
Got you a part of the action
A come-over-touch, glances and such
You always had to be the main attraction

Now you're the one who's crying
You lost at your own lonely game
You're still the center of attraction
But now i'm gone, you've got yourself to blame

Chorus
Ooh poor baby
Do what you said you'd never do
Ooh poor baby
You let someone get much too close to you
Poor baby
Poor baby,poor baby
Poor baby,poor baby

(orbison)

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

Orbison/melson

Time and again i've come back to you
Even though i know what you'll do
You'll break my heart right in two
But time and again i've come back to you

Time and again i've been a fool for you
Time and again what else can i do
I'll be right there waiting, yeah, waiting
Though it's all in vain, time and again

Time and again i've come back to you
Even though i know what you'll do
You'll break my heart right in two
But time and again i've come back to you

Orbison/burnett/neuwirth

Stood together in an open field
And shared the secrets that the night revealed
Then we'd chase the light racing through the sky

Can we untangle guilt and innocence?
How hard we torture this ambevolence
Night will bring no dawn where's the power gone?

For i'll steal your dreams while you are sleeping
And sell them for dust and cheap lust
And i'll turn your hope while you are weeping
And cover your eyes with sad lies and dark skies

Come closer to me, on your hands and knees, alone when your will's gone

How much is not enough?, how much is through?
How long will i be getting over you?
How much grief and sin
Till the heart caves in? till the heart caves in?, till the heart caves in?

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

(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.

Words and music by tom jones and harvey schmidt from the musical "the
Fantasticks"

Try to remember the kind of september
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Try to remember the kind of september
When grass was green and grain so yellow
Try to remember the kind of september
When you were a young and a callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh

Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh

Deep in december it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in december it's nice to remember
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow
Deep in december it's nice to remember
The fire of september that made you mellow
Deep in december our hearts should remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh

Follow, oh-oh

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

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

I get so ooh sentimental
Darling when it comes to you,
I'm just too ooh sentimental
And its breaking my heart in two.

I said a-hey,hey now
At the end of the day now,
I get carried away now
Thinking of you,ooh

How you looked that night,
You kissed goodbye just right,
Then turned away
And i miss you night and day.

Hey,a-hey, hey now,
At the end of the day now,
I get carried away now,
Thinking of you, ooh

Who holds you tight?,
I wonder where you are,
Are you alright
For you know, i still love you,

But i'm just so sentimental,
Baby because of you,
Yes i'm just too sentimental
And it's,breaking my heart in two...

How are things in paradise since you found a new romance?
Oh, how are things in paradise are you glad that you stood a chance?
Oh, how are things in paradise?
Do you miss me?
Do you ever cry?
Does he try to hold you like i used to do?
Are the stars still in your eyes?
How are things in paradise?

Uh, does he take you hand and whisper i love you?
Oh, don't you know that i love you too?
Is there sunshine or rain?
Are you coming home again?
Oh, how are things in paradise?
How are things in paradise?
How are things in paradise since you said goodbye?

Well you should be an actress
You play your part so well
Your act is so believable
That no one else can tell

You say the lines, but i see
That you don't really love me

You keep me around to be your faithful clown
Till someone you can love comes along
You'll keep on pretending
Because the show must go on

Yes, you should be an actress
As lovely as you are
The way you play on emotion
You'd shame the brightest star

You're acting all the time
No, you're not really mine

I'm just another scene in your play acting scheme
No, you dont love me at all
But when you walk away
That's when the curtain will fall

But i'll go all the way to the end of the play
I'll be a part of your masquerade
Although i know it may be the saddest show
In the life of a fool on parade

The platters


Oh, my love, my darling

I've hungered for your touch

A long, lonely time



And time goes by, so slowly

And time can do so much

Are you still mine?



I need your love

I need your love

God speed your love to me



Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea

To the open arms of the sea

Lonely rivers sigh:

Wait for me, wait for me

I'll be coming home

Wait for me

Jerry mcbee

He calls you from the office and he tells you that he's sorry
But it looks like he'll be working late again and he asks you how your day went
But he didn't say he missed you and he'd rather be home with you and the kids
Then suddenly the day has lost it's meaning and you find it hard to hold the tears inside
And the tears begin to fall, and another day's gone by
As you dry the tears from your eyes, just another reason why a woman cries

You ask him if he'd call you when he's working late again
But it's nine o'clock and still he hasn't called and the dinner fixed with special care
Is getting cold, and he's not there - you wonder if he really cares at all
Another lonely night and he's not with you and you find it hard to hold the tears inside
And the tears begin to fall, and another day's gone by
As you dry the tears from your eyes, just another reason why a woman cries

Now you push aside the curtains and you're looking out the window
And the kids are playing with him in the yard, he takes you out occaisonally
And once more you're a family and he thought about your birthday after all
It's then you know the reason why you love him and he'll never know the joy you feel inside
And all the tears you've cried, just a part of a woman's life, when a woman's happy inside
It's another reason why a woman cries, just another reason why a woman cries

Been beat up and battered around
Been sent up and i've been shut down
You're the best thing that i've ever found
Handle me with care
Reputations changeable
Situations tolerable
But baby you're adorable
Handle me with care

I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care?
Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine and dream on

I've been fucked up and i've been fooled
I've been robbed and ridiculed
Daycare census and night schools
Handle me with care

Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed commercialized
Handle me with care

I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care
Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine and dream on

I've been uptight and made a mess
But i'll clean it up myself i guess
Oh the sweet smell of success
Handle me with care

Roy orbison

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Barbara, bye bye won't be coming round tonite

Oh yeah, well that's the way it goes

I can paint a sunset across the sky of blue
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

All my world would end dear my rising star would fall
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

Tell me one more lie, i'll cry you one more cry, tell me that you love me one more time

One more time, tell me that you care, one more time, honey i'll be there

Well i never felt more like singing the blues
Cos i never thought that i'd ever lose your love, dear
Why'd you do me this way?
Well, i never felt more like crying all night
Cos everything's wrong and nothing is right without you
You got me singing the blues

Well the moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone i thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do
But cry over you

Well, i never felt more like runnin' away
But why should i go, 'cos i couldn't stay without you
You got me singing the blues

Well i never felt more like singing the blues
Cos i never thought that i'd ever lose your love, dear

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

Orbison/dees

You're the figure of a woman
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
Whirl,whirl,whirlwind, whirl,whirl,whirlwind
Whirl,whirl,whirlwind, whirl,whirl,whirlwind
Whirlwind

Happy birthday, happy birthday, baby
Oh, i love you so

Sixteen candles make a lovely light
But not as bright as your eyes tonight (as your eyes tonight) (oh)
Blow out the candles, make your wish come true
For i'll be wishing that you love me, too (that you love me, too)

You're only sixteen (sixteen)
But you're my teenage queen (you're my queen)
You're the prettiest, loveliest girl i've ever seen (i've ever seen) (oh!)

Sixteen candles in my heart will glow
For ever and ever for i love you so (for i love you so)

You're only sixteen (sixteen)
But you're my teenage queen (you're my queen)
Oh, you're the prettiest, loveliest girl i've ever seen (i've ever seen) (oh!)

Sixteen candles in my heart will glow
For ever and ever for i love you so (for i love you so)
For i love you so!!!

No one really cares if i cry
No one, no one since you said goodbye
No one

Nowhere to go, not a thing to do
Oh, that's what i get for loving you
No one

No one to dream about, no one
No one since love walked out on me
No one
No one to dream about, no one
No one since love walked out on me

Oh, nowhere to go, not a thing to do
Oh, that's what i get for loving you
No one, no one

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

When love's light slowly starts to fade.
On dreams and promises we made.
What can we do to right this wrong.
After the love,after the love has gone.

When did our love began to die.
It seems too lata to wonder why.
This feeling seems so strong.
After the love, after the love has gone.

After the love has gone.
How can we still be friends.
How can we carry on.
After the love,after the love has gone.

And now it's time to say goodbye.
Just walka way, try not to cry.
We'll love again before too long.
After the love, after the love has gone.

After the love has gone.
After it finally ends.
There'll be no sweet love songs.
After the love, after the love has gone.
How can we still be friends.
How can we carry on.
After the love, after th elove has gone

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

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

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

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

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

(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

(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...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I guess my folks will have
I'm chicken hearted,
I'm chicken hearted

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

(pitney)

Oh it's been 22 lonely blue days without a word from you
And 44 million more tears i've cried since you walked through that door
The sun never reaches my doorstep each empty day seems to be the same
You've broken your vow but i still love you now, oh this love of mine is a one way losing game

And it's been 22 lonely blue days without a word from you
And 44 million more tears i've cried since you walked through that door
The dreams that we share are gone forever but i still have a little hope in my heart
Is this the way it ends? are we to be both friends? oh i can't go on if we're to be apart

And it's been 22 lonely blue dayswithout a word from you
And 44 million more tears i've cried since you walked through that door

Yeah 22 days since you walked through that door
Ah 22 days since you walked through that door
Yeah 22 days since you walked through that door
Mmmm 22 days since you walked through that door

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

Cry softly lonely one
Your heartaches have just begun
And though they linger on
Carry on, be strong
You're baby's gone
Left you alone
But i'll stand by you
On the long nights through
You can cry, cry to me girl
C'mon and cry, cry to me girl
Don't cry all alone
Baby from now on
You can run to me;come to me
You can cry to me
Tonight and forever,lonely one

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.

That she wasn't happy livin' quietly, quietly.

Hank williams

I know you tried your best to love me
You smiled when your heart told you to weep
You tried to pretend that you were happy
Ooh last night i heard you crying in your sleep

You gave the best years of your life, dear
And each preccious vow you tried to keep
I love you so much i want you happy
Ooh last night i heard you crying in your sleep

Your heart is yearning for an old love
With new love it's useless to compete
It hurts me to know that you're unhappy
Yeah last night i heard you crying in your sleep

You know that you are free to go, dear
And don't mind me if i weep
I know i can never make you happy
Cos last night i heard you crying in your sleep

Berry gordy jnr/bradford

They say the best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees
I need money, that's what i want
That's what i want, yeah that's what i want

Money don't get everything, it's true
Though what it won't buy i can't use
I need money, that's what i want
That's what i want, that's what i want

Your love gives me such a thrill
But your lovin' don't pay my bills
I need money, that's what i want
That's what i want, yeah that's what i want

Well gimme money, i want some money
Whole lotta money, i want some money
That's what i want, yeah that's what i want

I need some money, hey hey
I want some money, yeah yeah
Whole lotta money
I want some money, hey hey
Whole lotta money, that's what i want

I want some money

Silently i hear the sound of the blue rain coming down.
It's late tonight and i just saw you walking by.
Without one word of hello or goodbye.
Just one look at you with someone new,
And then i knew i'd see you go around in the blue blue rain.

I didn't know one moment ago it could rain this way
You use to run straight to my arms now you turn away.
Oh i never knew such of feeling of blue.
Blue rain blue rain.
Blue rain.

Why did you make me love you than break my heart in two.
Then leave me alone here in the rain to cry for you.
Tomorrow will be filled with the lonely.blue rain.
Blue rain.blue rain.

I remember you all alone,walking on,
And crying,losing you,
In the blue blue rain.

Sweet mama's like candy, my mama's a real jam candy, sweet mama, sweet mama
Sweet mama, oh come on sweet mama, sweet mama, come on honey, sweet mama

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The good times are all gone
The night keeps coming on so strong
You can't hold on, no matter what you do
Will there be someone who cares for you
When the blue hour comes?
When the blue hour comes?

And when your restless heart
Tears your world apart
And everywhere you turn
It's falling down on you
Will there be a light that shines for you?

When the blue hour comes for you
If there's anything that you would have me do
Just call on me and i'll be coming through
I will always be there for you
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes

Good times don't last forever
Sometimes it's now or never
Darling, reach out for me
You know where i'll be
I will always be there for you
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes

When the blue hour comes for you
If there's anything that you would have me do
Just call on me and i'll be coming through
I will always be there for you
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes

I will always be there
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes....(repeat to fade)

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

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, keep me goin
Sugar and honey, i been a-knowin'
Well everytime your lovin' lips meet mine
You know i want you sugar and honey.
A little bit-a sugar, a whole lotta honey
It's alright sugar and honey mornin' noon and night
Give me sugar and honey anytime.

Sugar and honey, is what i live for
Sugar and honey, for the flavor
Every little bitty thing you do
Just makes me love you, sugar and honey.

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.

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

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

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

Ira and charlie louvin

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

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

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

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

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

Written by orbison/melson.

I have been somebody on nobody's mind.
A funny kind of winner losing all the time.
On my way to somewhere with no place to go.
Then you said hello.

And now i walk with you.i talk with you.
At last you're here.in my arms, close to me, so very near.

Touching me, reaching me, with the everything you do.
Long nights through.god love you.
God love you.god love you.
You loving way will make me stay.god love you.

You've become the only one who's always there.
In my dreams, on my mind, in every prayer.

By your side i'm satisfied no way to hide,
This feeling i have for you.
I'll swear it's true.god love you.
God love you.god love you.

God loves you for being you.
And i thank you for loving me too.
God love you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The beach boys

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

Well, rhonda you look so fine (look so fine)
And i know it wouldn't take much time
For you to help me rhonda, help me get her out of my heart

Help me rhonda. help, help me rhonda
Help me rhonda, help, help me rhonda
Help me rhonda, help, help me rhonda
Help me rhonda, help, help me rhonda
Help me rhonda, help, help me rhonda
Help me rhonda, help, help me rhonda
Help me rhonda yeah, get her out of my heart

She was gonna be my wife, and i was gonna be her man (oh rhonda)
But she let another guy come between us, and it shattered our plans, (oh rhonda)

Well, rhonda you caught my eye (caught my eye)
And i can give you lotsa reasons why
You gotta help me rhonda, help me get her out of my heart
Help me rhonda yeah,get her out of my heart

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

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.

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Written by orbison/melson.
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.

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

(orbison/dees)

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

Traveling wilburys

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

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

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

(chorus)

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

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"

I've been loving you since you were sweet 16
Good lookin' woman jerry lee ever seen

Go ahead and keep my mother humping motor running

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

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

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

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

Jerry mcbee

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

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

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

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

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?

(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

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

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

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

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

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

Roy orbison/ray rush/joe melson

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gene pitney

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

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

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

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

John d loudermilk

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

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

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

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)

Bill dees/larry henley

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
