Roy Orbison

Dream, when you're feeling blue
Dream, that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rising rise in the air
You'll find your share of memories there

So dream when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream (Repeat)

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 wont pass him by


Should you stop? better not, much too busy

Youre 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

Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is grey
Where I can't find my way
Without her as my guide

Night falls I'm cast beneath here spell
Daylight comes our heaven 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 cut 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 is the darkness in her eyes
That so enslaves me
But 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 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

Pretty woman, walking down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman, I dont believe you
You're not the truth
No one could look as good as you
Mercy


Pretty woman, won't you pardon me
Pretty woman, I couldnt help by see
That you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me?


Pretty woman, stop a while
Pretty woman, talk a while
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
Pretty woman, yeah yeah yeah
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right
Come with me baby
Be mind tonight


Pretty woman, dont walk on by
Pretty woman, dont make me cry
Pretty woman, dont walk away hey


Okay, if that's the way it must be, okay
I guess I'll go on home, its late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait!
What do I see?
Is she walking back to me?
Yeah, she's walking back to me!
Oh, pretty woman

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

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

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.

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 go

I had somebody,somebody who loved me.
Someone so good to me.
You were my angel, you were my heaven
But i was too blind to see.

I let you slip away, i guess i never knew.
I had the world with you .
I'd be there, still be there in your arms.
If not for my careless heart.
You'd still be loving me.
If not for my careless heart.
You'd still be mine.
I wouldn't have this hurt inside.
I wouldn't have this tears to cry.
If not for my careless heart.
If not for my careless heart.

I had my chances,i took advantage.
I took it all too far.
So now you're gone, and i'm all alone,
Alone with my lonely heart.
I let it fall apart,i didn't care enough.
I lost your precious love.
You'd be here,still be here in my arms.

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

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

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

Well thanks a lot thank you
Now I'm the talk of the town
Of all the fools they drink to

I take what fun I can find
I laugh when things aren't funny
I throw away my last dime
You're not mine so I waste my time in pantomime.
It's pantomime.

Loud music may dull my mind
Black coffee and electric sunshine
Get set for this pantomime.

Walk onto forty four and knockon that big black door

Teardrops tell me that I'm losing you
Lost and lonely and I'm losing you
Dreams remind me that I'm losing you
Heartaches find me and I'm losing you

If you could forget that love affair
I wonder
If you could how much would you still care

It's no use now for I'm losing you
No excuse now yes I'm losing you
I love you much more than yesterday
In sorrow
I love you less than tomorrow
I love you with all my love today
But I guess I threw your love away
I'm losing you
What can I do?
I don't want to but I'm losing you.

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...

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

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

I promise you I'll be with you tomorrow night
I have to wait until the time is right

Yeah wait a little longer now
Wait a little stronger now
Wait a little longer now for me
Oh what you do to me
Wait now until I am free

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

Your life begins when teardrops start, a broken toy, a broken heart
All of these things are just a part of growing up
From kiddie cars to walking shoes from lullabyes to lonely blues
Somehow you never quite get used to growing up
Yeah Yeah you're growing up, yeah Yeah you're growing up
It's good to know you're growing up.

The wheel of fortune takes a spin
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
But you must play the game again

Drink another cup,You're growing up.
Yeah Yeah you're growing up, yeah yeah you're growing up
It's good to know you're growing up.

Heeeeey eeeeey now little one you're growing up
Heeeeey eeeeey now little one you're growing up.
To be a man, to be a woman to understand, takes a lot of growing, growing up
You'll live to learn, you'll learn to live, you'll give to love your love to give
And when you're wise enough you'll know, you're growing up

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.

I could find another girl to kiss m, I could find another girl to miss me.
I could find another girl who wants to be true, but I'll never get over you.
I got over Marie Lou.I got over Suzie Q, I got over Connie too.
I get over losing you to somebody new, but I'll never get over you.

No I'll never get over you, ah ah, oh no, ah ah.
No I'll never get over you oh no, my heart tells me so.
I don't know just what there is about you, but I know that I can't live without you.

I could find another girl to flirt with, I could find another girl to hurt with.
I could find another girl almost like you, but I'll never get over you.
I got over Linda Lou, I got over Peggie Sue, I got over Betty too.
I got over losing you to somebody new, but I'll never get over you.
No I'll never get over you oh no, ah ah ah, oh no.
No I'll never get over you, oh no, my heart tells me so.
No I'll never get over you...

Going back to Gloria,the girl I'm dreaming of.
Going back to Gloria,Gloria my love.
Forget about the letters that i wrote to you.
Forget about the many things we used to do.
I don't want you to cry,but I must say goodbye.
So long you're on your own.
Going home,going back to Gloria.

Going back to Gloria, the girl I'm dreaming of.
Going back to Gloria, Gloria my love.

I'll keep on pretending that I never cared
And everytime we'll meet I'll act like you're not there.
I will write no more letters.I'll make no more calls.
I can't meet you anymore.
Going home,Going back to Gloria.

Going back to Gloria, going back to Gloria.Gloria.
Going back to Gloria.the girl I'm dreaming of.
Going back to Gloria,Gloria my love, Gloria my love.

I knew many loves before I met you
But I'll never love again
I could probably know others too
But I'll never love again
Thats enough knowing your love
I'll never love again
I'll never love again
I held many girls before I held you
But I'll never love again
I could probably hold others too
But I'll never love again
Thats enough knowing your love
I'll never love again
I'll never love again
I'll never love again
I'll never love again

Only you and no one else
Can keep me crawling back
You know I can't help myself
And now I'm crawling back

After all you've done to me
The times you've turned me down
I still will be your clown
Because I love you
I'm crawling back

You know I would die for you
Heaven knows how I have cried for you
But what else can I do
But crawl on back to you, ooh
Oooh, crawling back to you

People stop they talk and they stare
But they don't know that you really care
That you're only lonely, and making believe
And you need me around
When the world turns you down

Whenever you might need me
I will come crawling back
Wherever you will lead me
I will come crawling back

You tell me to find somebody new.
That you're not for me i'm not for you.
It don't matter if you're right or wrong.
It ain't not big thing just say "so long"

It's been fun and laughter all the way.
I will live to love another day.
I will be alright can't you tell?
It ain't not big thing just say "farewell"

It ain't not big thing I won't be blue.
Just so you're happy and your dreams come true.
It ain't not big thing my losing you.
Just ain't no big thing, I'll get over you.

It ain't not big thing to see you go.
It ain't not big thing that you don't know.
It ain't not big thing I've been lying.
It ain't not big thing that I'm crying.
It ain't not big thing that I'm dying

The town is not the same
My friends don't know my name
Lots of things have changed
Things seem so wrong
Since I've come home

It's been a year or so
Since I had to go
I wonder if she's waiting
Or has she betrayed
the promise she made

Now as I'm walking to her
My doubts are too much to bear
Was she faithful or untrue?
If I've lost her, what will I do
Now, we're face to face
As her eyes meet mine
The answer I find is
Time Changed Everything
Time Changed Everything
Time Changed Everything
But her

The sun on the rim of the hill overlooking all that I love
Lights up every leaf and blade, birds circling high above
With trembling hand I reach down and say "This is my land"

This land will pass on to my child, when he's grown
To love it as much as I, for all the sons gone by
And when he's a man he'll do what he can
For this my land, this is my land

When young men die in glory and for freedom take their stand
May they sing this same proud story, this is my land

When life fades away, and my body is laid to rest in the ground
May this comfort fill my soul here on the land, I know
That those after me say with much dignity
"This is my land, this is my land"

When I see you walking with some other guy.
I know that I'm a man I'm not supposed to cry.
But when I see you I cry inside.
I guess I'm a loner I don't run with your crowd.

You only smile at me when there's no one around.
We have to meet in secret 'cause we know the town,
They'll talk of me,they'll talk of you.and they'll say
"Oh what a shame,he's ruining her name."

Some people say when you're alone like me.
Life has no meaning, but I know.
The reason you love me.is because I'll never be
Never be,what you want me to be.

So go on laugh and walk and talk with other guys.
I'll never let them see the love that's in my eyes.
We'll meet tonight you'll make it right, when you say
We'll be together forever and ever.

Crazy heart your baby's gone, don't you know?.
Empty arms give up, give up, come on let go.
And maybe I will be alright.
And maybe I'll get through tonight.
Then maybe I will see you tomorrow.

Misty eyes don't see that face in every tear.
Longing lips don't speak that name, there's no one here.
And maybe I will see the dawn.
And maybe I'll get by alone.
Then maybe I will lose my sorrow.

In a hundred years trough a million tears,
Maybe,maybe.
Maybe I'll be loving you.
And maybe when my life is through
Then maybe I'll get over you.
Maybe,maybe,maybe.

I wonder why you
Threw your diary away
When you walk by
I nearly die
What can I say

Things were fine
You were mine
Just yesterday
Now were apart
Breaking up is
Breaking my heart

I find myself
Alone at night
And then I cry
No tenderness
My happiness
Just said goodbye

Now you're gone
I'm alone
I wonder why
We had to part

Breaking up is
Breaking my heart
Baby, breaking up
Is breaking my heart

The love affair
We used to share
Is cold, and still
I loved you then
I love you now
I always will

The day that you
Found someone new
My lonely world
Just fell apart

Out of your arms
Drives me out of my mind
Baby, breaking up
Is breaking my heart
Baby, breaking up
Is breaking my heart

Breaking up
Is breaking my heart
Breaking up
Is breaking my heart

I really wouldn't mind it might be fun.
At any other time with any other one.
But lovers can't be friends.
And there's only one way it can end.
I would lose you,I would lose you.

There are not many girls I can talk with.
There are not many girls I can walk with.
And I don't have many friends if any,
So stay my friend and go away my friend.

I'm really wanting you to go away.
Everything you do, the things you say.
Confuse me now and then,
And I think I love you, my friend.
Go away,go away.

You're the only girl I have fun with.
You're the only girl I can run with.
You know friendship ends where love begins.
So stay my friend and go away my friend.

You know firendship ends where love begins,
So stay my friend and go,go away.
Go away,go away.go away...

The evening sun is falling that old blue moon is calling
My guardian angel in the sky came through
To help all my dreams come true there's a new star.
There's a new star coming tonight, there's a new love burning
So bright for a new star of love is born between the earth and sky for you and I.

There's a new star
The moon was dull, the sky was cold and gray
There were no stars to light my lonely way
And then I traced the lovelight in your eyes
To a new star twinkling in the sky burning bright, day and night
Now I'm alright, now we're together, lovers forever
A new star, a new star to light our way
There's a new star burning for us, there's a new world turning for us
There's a new star sparkling in the sky.

There's a new star shining somewhere and we know the reason why
There's a new star way up there for a true love
A new star for our love will never die.

A new sweet song of love has got you off my mind
I've found the new love who will walk the line
Every night and every day
I give all my love away
To someone who can love me all the time

Never again, to be lonely again
Never again
Heartaches have left me now forever

I've burned the old love letters that you wrote to me
Discovered love I thought could never be
A love as sweet as wine
Keeps you off my mind
I said goodbye to my misery

Memories will never bother me again
And when I think of things that might have been
I just pledge my love to my new love
And then we kiss again

And oh, what a feeling just to know
That never again, never again, never again
I've found a love to last forever
I true love who will leave me never

Never, never, never
Never, never, never
Never, never, never...

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 ‘cause I need you,
I'm crying ‘cause I don't, oh

It wasn't very long ago.
I held you, so closely.
It wasn't very long ago.
I dreamed of,you mostly

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

It wasn't very long ago.
It wasn't very long ago.
Not so very long ago..

If you really love me, and you say that you do
If you're thinking of me, like you know I think of you
Why hurt the one who loves you?
If you ever leave me, and you say that you will
Then why deceive me, is it just for a thrill?
Why hurt the one who loves you?

You hardly know I'm around, and I need you more and more
I beg you please stay with me and you walk out the door

Why hurt the one who loves you?
Have you got nothing better to do?
Why hurt the one who loves you
When you know I don't want to hurt you?

When your new love leaves you, and you want me back again
When you really need me, and you want me for a friend
I'll walk away from you, and darling when I do
You'll wonder why, why
Why, why, why hurt the one who loves you?

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 Chaparral 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

We never walk
We never talk
We never find the time To be close again
There it goes again
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

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

One by one They fail Now the leaves our lover
Cling to the ground
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

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

There it goes
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

When it's right, it's all right
When it's wrong, it's all wrong
When it's gone, it's all gone
It's too late
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
I can tell Well it's over now

Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Baby, when we're walking by and we happen to meet another guy
Don't give him the eye... that's a no no, no no no no, no no no no no

Sugar, when another man wants you to understand
Don't hold his hand... that's a no no, no no no, no no no

No, don't be like some other girls, if you love me, come on let it show
If you ever get tired of me, baby just let me know: no no no no, no no no no no

Sweetheart, when it's party time and you're groovin', everything is fine
Don't forget you're mine... that's a no no, no no no, no no no, no no

Woman when the dance is through and the fella's wait around for you
Dont kiss someone new...that's a no no, no no no, no no no, no no

In a cold December, memories can melt your heart away
In a warm September, you can still remember yesterday

Even in the darkest night when dreams fade away
When your love is gone, you'll never be alone in memories

Memories, while walking through a winter snow, memories, when summer breezes start to blow
When true love is far away it may be yours in memories

Memories, while falling leaves just fill the air, memories, when springtime comes and love's not there
Even when you cry, try not to say goodbye to memories

Golden memories can turn the night into day, teach your heart to smile
And live each day a while in memories

I see through teardrops
That old clock on the wall
The hands are far apart
They tell me that my heart misses you
And you're not with me
Guess it's time to cry
Yes it's time to cry

I hear the doorbell
The postman just came by
All he ever brings
Are bills and nothing things
Oh no, he returned your letter
And it's time to cry
Yes it's time to cry

Time to cry
Ever since you said goodbye
Time to cry
What else can I do but cry over you?

I just can't stand it
The telephone won't ring
The sun is out of sight
Another lonely night begins
And you're not mine
Guess it's time to cry
Yes it's time to cry

When you happened by my open eyes could see,
My sleeping hands awoke and almost reached,
I was full of life till you walked on by
Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely
And only alive.

For a moment my heart began to beat,
My puppet legs responded to your strings,
And my shuffling feet started stepping high

Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely
And only alive.

For all the things worth living for
Left me for someone new
And all of those things I lost
I was left condemned to a lonely life
Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely
And only alive.

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

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...

Two wheels a'turning
One girl a'yearning
Big motor burning the road

I'll ride the highway
I'm going my way
I'll leave a story untold

Pretty girls behind me
But pretty girls are everywhere
Big motor wind up, ride on away from here

Ride away

She won't approve of things I do or what I am
And I don't really give a .., I understand
But she'll never see that I'll never be
Any one but me

She thinks she needs me, she cries for me
But I know she's lying, crying for others to see
What can I say, I'll just ride away

(Ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)
Big motor run, run
(Ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)
Ride on away from
(Ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)
Heartache and misery
(Ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)

(Ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)
I'm bound to wander
(Big motor run, run, big motor run, run)
Way over yonder
(Big motor run, run, big motor run, run)
Someone be waiting just for me
(Big motor run, run, big motor run, run)
(Big motor run, run, big motor run, run)

True love to cling to, I need a dream to share
(Ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)
Someone to know me, someone to show me they care
(Ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)
Ride away (ride, ride, ride) ride away (ride, ride, ride)
From tears and sorrow
Like there's no tomorrow

Tonight I'll ride away

You fool you, that's what my friends all say
You fool you, don't throw your love away
You fool you, remember yesterday
Your baby walked away, away, from you.

So there you go, come running back again
Stars in your eyes, be leading lights
Your hungry heart still longs for love
You think she'll win, and so you pretend

You fool you, that's what my friends all say
You fool you, don't throw your love away
You fool you, remember yesterday
Your baby walked away, away, from you.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
You fool you.

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.

This is your song, to let you know how much I love you
You have my heart and I know I can't live without you

This is your song, to keep you when the nights are lonely
Only for you darling, you're all that I've waited for
And this song, my love is yours for evermore

And through the years you can be sure that I'll be faithful
My love for you will ever grow and this I will do
I will give my heart and song to you

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.

Well, I got a brand new baby, and I feel so good
She loves me even better than I thought she would
I'm on my way to her house and I'm plumb out of breath
When I see her tonight, I'm gonna squeeze her to death

Claudette, pretty little pet, Claudette
Never made me fret, Claudette
She's the greatest little girl that I've ever met
I get the best loving that I'll ever get
From, Claudette
Whoa, whoa, Claudette
Yeah, yeah, Claudette

Girl, I'm a lucky man
My baby treats me right
She's gonna let me hug and kiss and hold her tight
When the date is over and we're at her front door
When I kiss me goodnight
I'll holler, more, more, more

Claudette, pretty little pet, Claudette
Never made me fret, Claudette
She's the greatest little girl that I've ever met
I get the best loving that I'll ever get
From, Claudette
Whoa, whoa, Claudette
Yeah, yeah, Claudette

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

Claudette, pretty little pet, Claudette
Never made me fret, Claudette
She's the greatest little girl that I've ever met
I get the best loving that I'll ever get
From, Claudette
Whoa, whoa, Claudette
Yeah, yeah, Claudette

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...

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.

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

I know they don't think that I'll amount to much
But your love has given me the magic touch
Just put your faith in me and strange as it may seem
I will build a dream for you
Big as I can dream

I know that they want the best things for you
That is just what I have planned
If they only knew.

There's no mountain that's too high
I can ford any stream
For your love I can be
Big as I can dream.

There's no mountain that's too high
I can ford any stream
For your love I can be
Big as I can dream
Big as I can dream
Big as i can dream.

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?

everytime 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

everytime 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 same you do

anything you want you got it
anything you need you got it
anything at all you got it
baby

anything you want (you got it)
anything you need (you got it)
anything at all (you got it)

I'm glad to give my love to you
I know you feel the way I do

anything you want you got it
anything you need you got it
anything at all you got it
baby

anything you want you got it
anything you need you got it
anything at all you got it
baby

anything at all (you got it)
baby you got it

Walk on, if we should meet
Walk on, on down the street
Walk on, and don't even look
Walk on, close up the book

We don't want the world to see us like we are
We should never have even gone this far
Quickly brush away that teardrop
Walk away, darling, don't stop
Don't look back for me
Baby, walk on

Walk on, don't turn around
Walk on, to higher ground
Take the love we've shared together
Keep it in your heart forever
Don't forget me
But, baby, walk on

If you ever loved me
Baby, walk on

I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while

THEN I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
WHEN you stopped to say hello

You wished me well
You couldn′t tell that
I′ve been crying over you,
crying over you And you said ″So long″ Left me
standing all alone, alone and crying, crying, crying, crying
It′s hard to understand
But the touch of your hand can start me crying

I thought that I was over you But it′s true, so true
I love you even more than I did before
But darling, what can I do?
For you don′t love me
And I′ll always be crying over you, crying over you

Yes now you′re gone
And from this moment on, I′ll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying over you

Pretty woman, walking down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman, I dont believe you
You're not the truth
No one could look as good as you
Mercy


Pretty woman, won't you pardon me
Pretty woman, I couldnt help by see
That you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me?


Pretty woman, stop a while
Pretty woman, talk a while
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
Pretty woman, yeah yeah yeah
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right
Come with me baby
Be mind tonight


Pretty woman, dont walk on by
Pretty woman, dont make me cry
Pretty woman, dont walk away hey


Okay, if that's the way it must be, okay
I guess I'll go on home, its late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait!
What do I see?
Is she walking back to me?
Yeah, she's walking back to me!
Oh, pretty woman

Just runnin scared each place we go
So afraid that he might show
Yeah, runnin scared, what would I do
If he came back and wanted you

Just runnin scared, feelin low
Runnin scared, you love him so
Just runnin scared, afraid to lose
If he came back which one would you choose

Then all at once he was standing there
So sure of himself, his head in the air
My heart was breaking, which one would it be
You turned around and walked away with me.

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 wont pass him by


Should you stop? better not, much too busy

Youre 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

Your baby doesn't love you any more
Golden days before they end
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you any more
Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you any more
It's over
It breaks your heart in two, To know she's been untrue
But oh what will you do? Then she said to you
There's someone new We're through We're through
It's over It's over It's over
All the rainbows in the sky Start to even say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows any more
Setting suns before they fall, Echo to you that's all that's all
But you'll see lonely sunset after all
It's over It's over It's over It's over

I feel so bad Ive got a worried mind
Im so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on blue bayou

Saving nickels, saving dimes, working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times on blue bayou
Im going back some day come what may to blue bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on blue bayou

All those fishing boats with their sails afloat if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be

Go to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on blue bayou

Im going back some day, gonna stay on blue bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on blue bayou
Oh, that girl of mine by my side the silver moon and the evening tide
Oh, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin inside
Ill never be blue, my dreams come true on blue bayou

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
"go to sleep. everything is all right."

I close my eyes, then i drift away
Into the magic night. i softly say
A silent prayerlike dreamers do.
Then i fall asleep to dream my dreams of you.

In dreams i walk with you. in dreams i talk to you.
In dreams you're mine. all of the time we're together
In dreams, in dreams.

But just before the dawn, i awake and find you gone.
I can't help it, i can't help it, if i cry.
I remember that you said goodbye.

It's too bad that all these things, can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams in beautiful dreams.

Forever my darling our love will be true
Always and forever I'll love only you
just promise me darling your love in return
May this fire in my soul dear forever burn

My heart's at your command dear
To keep love and to hold
Making you happy is my desire dear
Keeping you is my goal

I'll forever love you
For the rest of my days
I'll never part from you
Or your loving ways
Just promise me darling your love in return
May this fire in my soul dear forever burn

My heart's at your command dear
To keep love and to hold
Making you happy is my desire dear
loving you is my goal

I'll forever love you
For the rest of my days
I'll never part from you
Or your loving ways
Just promise me darling your love in return
May this fire in my soul dear forever burn

I looked behind a silver cloud, I found a pretty rainbow there
I walked out to the rainbow's end and found a rainbow love
The one that I was looking for, the dream that I was dreaming of
There, down at the rainbow's end I found a rainbow love

I found my pot of gold, my rainbow love
Just you and all your loving, charming rainbow love
I searched, hoped someday I'd find someone to bring me peace of mind
I found what I've been dreaming of when I found my rainbow love

I found my pot of gold, my rainbow love
Just you and all your loving, charming rainbow love
I searched, hoped someday I'd find someone to bring me peace of mind
I found what I've been dreaming of when I found my rainbow love

Tonight at midnight you came by
I shook my head, tried not to cry
Halfway weeping, halfway sleeping
Tossing, turning, trembling, burning
Here it comes, heartache

You wore your hair down
I love it that way
You reached out and touched me
And then you faded away

Its unreal, the way I feel
Its almost dawn and you are gone
Here it comes, heartache

Heartache of heartache
Deeper than blue
Teardrop on teardrop
Im still in love with you

What a way to start a day
Here it comes, heartache over you
Heartache for you
Everytime you walk through my mind
I get that old heartache

1974 version

At night I try not to cry
Each tomorrow brings more sorrow
All the time you're on my mind
My heart just aches, it almost breaks
Its almost dawn, heartache

I know it's over
But I don't know why
You reached out and touched me
And then you said goodbye

Oh it's unreal, the way I feel
Its almost dawn the nights too long
My dream is gone
Im all alone with heartache

Heartache of heartache
Deeper than blue
Teardrop on teardrop
Im still in love with you

Oh, what a way to start a day
Heartaches today like yesterday
Here comes the sun
No place to run from heart

Still, still.
I'm still in love with you.
Still, still.
I can't love someone new.

No one can take your place.
No one ever will.
Oh my darling, I love love you still.

Still, still.
I miss your magic touch.
Still, still.
I need you oh so much.

No one shares my embrace,
No one ever will.
Oh my darling I love you, love you still.

Why did you have to go?
Why did you decieve me?
Come back my darling and never leave me.

Oh still, still.
My heart still aches for you.
Still, still.
It almost breaks in two.

No one can take your place.
No one ever will.
Oh my darling I love you, love you still.

Try to keep from thinking, thinking means remembering
Remembering means hurtin' hurtin' ain't so funny
Funny how it hits you, hits you out of nowhere
Nowhere to hide from it, it will last forever

Forever is a long time, time keeps on a-creeping
Creeping toward tomorrow, tomorrow starts it over
Over all the lovin', lovin' and the good times
Good times turn to bad times, bad times start me thinking

Thinking is remembering, remembering starts the circle
Circle in a circle, circle rounding circle
Circle is unbroken, unbroken is the circle
Never ending circle, circle without ending

Thinking in a circle, circle empty circle
Circle without ending...

All I need is time, then I'll get over you
A little at a time, a bit each day
All I need is time to mend a dream or two
Then I'll forget the love you took away

Morning's here again, just like the day before
But the only change is that I love you more
All I need is time, maybe a thousand years
Maybe a million tears, but I need time

Everybody says the pain won't last too long
Have a lot of fun and time will fly
It took a lot of time till love was born in me
And it'll take some time for love to die

Each and every day I spend forgetting you
Brings another night I never quite get through
All I need is time, maybe a thousand years
Maybe a million tears, but I need time

Harley Spanish nights
are still on my mind
In a small cafe
we danced all night away
dont lost in love in time

When I left that day I heard you cry and say
if you find someone new
You'll break your heart in two
You know what to do
Come back I still be too
with Spanish nights and you

I can't forget the day it's almost been away
begging me to see a world not mend for me
now my search is true I'm coming home
to Spanish nights and you

Magic Spanish moons
sleepy afternoons
Fill my memory
walking handing hands
by the sea and sand
I know you'll wait for me

Feeling all alone now I'm almost homeless
It's time I know I'll stay
The Lord has heard me pray
I have heard Him say
Lover on your day
Bring your Spanish nights away

I can see the summer light
enlights and holding you
on this Spanish nights

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin' oooh
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time

Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder (fonder)
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger (stronger)
If I lived to be a hundred years old

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'. Yeah now
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time

Now you say you've found someone that you love better (better)
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow ('morrow)
Cryin' time will start when you walk out the door

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'. Alright now
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
(That it won't be long before it's cryin' time)

Hooked on the touch of your hand, high on how you understand
Lost when you whispered "hello", something in your eyes said "don't go"

I just had to stay, couldn't go away from you, you knew what to do to get me
Hung up on you,hung up on you,hung up on you,hung up on you

You knew, the first time we met that I could never forget
You held me so close to you, I could never get over you

You were so aware how to make me care and keep me
Hung up on you,hung up on you, hung up on you,hung up on you

Yeah, you got me where you wanted me, I am where I really want to be
Hung up,hung up,hung up on you

I'm so hung up on you that I don't know what I would do without you
Oh it will take me forever to get enough of you and I can't help it if I'm
Hung up on you, hung up on you, hung up on you baby, hung up on you
Hung up on you, hung up on you...

Two wheels a'turning
One girl a'yearning
Big motor burning the road

I'll ride the highway
I'm going my way
I'll leave a story untold

Pretty girls behind me
But pretty girls are everywhere
Big motor wind up, ride on away from here

Ride away

She won't approve of things I do or what I am
And I don't really give a .., I understand
But she'll never see that I'll never be
Any one but me

She thinks she needs me, she cries for me
But I know she's lying, crying for others to see
What can I say, I'll just ride away

(Ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)
Big motor run, run
(Ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)
Ride on away from
(Ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)
Heartache and misery
(Ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)

(Ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)
I'm bound to wander
(Big motor run, run, big motor run, run)
Way over yonder
(Big motor run, run, big motor run, run)
Someone be waiting just for me
(Big motor run, run, big motor run, run)
(Big motor run, run, big motor run, run)

True love to cling to, I need a dream to share
(Ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)
Someone to know me, someone to show me they care
(Ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)
Ride away (ride, ride, ride) ride away (ride, ride, ride)
From tears and sorrow
Like there's no tomorrow

Tonight I'll ride away

Only you and no one else
Can keep me crawling back
You know I can't help myself
And now I'm crawling back

After all you've done to me
The times you've turned me down
I still will be your clown
Because I love you
I'm crawling back

You know I would die for you
Heaven knows how I have cried for you
But what else can I do
But crawl on back to you, ooh
Oooh, crawling back to you

People stop they talk and they stare
But they don't know that you really care
That you're only lonely, and making believe
And you need me around
When the world turns you down

Whenever you might need me
I will come crawling back
Wherever you will lead me
I will come crawling back

I wonder why you
Threw your diary away
When you walk by
I nearly die
What can I say

Things were fine
You were mine
Just yesterday
Now were apart
Breaking up is
Breaking my heart

I find myself
Alone at night
And then I cry
No tenderness
My happiness
Just said goodbye

Now you're gone
I'm alone
I wonder why
We had to part

Breaking up is
Breaking my heart
Baby, breaking up
Is breaking my heart

The love affair
We used to share
Is cold, and still
I loved you then
I love you now
I always will

The day that you
Found someone new
My lonely world
Just fell apart

Out of your arms
Drives me out of my mind
Baby, breaking up
Is breaking my heart
Baby, breaking up
Is breaking my heart

Breaking up
Is breaking my heart
Breaking up
Is breaking my heart

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 "go-go girl"? yeah,
She works it out,now.
Look when you walk in,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah.

To hide your broken heart;

Your big great lonely eyes
Give you away.

Now when the dance is through.
You won't be lonely,
you won't be blue tonight;
I'll be with you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah
Yeah Twinkle Toes...

It's too soon to know if I can forget her
My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And it's too soon to know
Time passes slow, will I ever know
If I can forget her and not let it show

But it's too soon to know
News travels fast when a love affair ends
People keep asking what happened to them
But it's too soon to know it I can forget her

My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And it's too soon to know
My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And it's too soon to know

We never walk
We never talk
We never find the time To be close again
There it goes again
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

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

One by one They fail Now the leaves our lover
Cling to the ground
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

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

There it goes
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

When it's right, it's all right
When it's wrong, it's all wrong
When it's gone, it's all gone
It's too late
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
I can tell Well it's over now

Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba so good, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba so good
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba so good, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba so good
It's so good to have you near me. it's so good to be with you
It's so good to have you touch me, it's so good it can't be true

Good, so good, sweet and fine, good so good everytime
You got good, good love, so good and whether or not we marry or not
I'll feel the same 'cos what you got, I love a lot
And I'll never change you're so good, you're so good

It's so good to be close to you when you do the things you do
I'm out of my mind for you you're so good, you're so good, you're so good

Everything you say to me is beautiful, everything you do suits me fine

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

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 Chaparral 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

Borne again.
Because have you at just being borne again.
At last I feel that I'm alive and more.
This is the moment I've waited for.

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

I look at you and all at once I know that dreams come true.
For there you are the other part of me.
I have found my destiny.

Born to be loved by you.
Born to be loved by you.
Right or wrong for you.
Weak or strong for you.
Faithful or untrue
Born chained forever and far beyond.
Born to be loved by you and only you
No one else will do.
Heart and soul, born to be loved
Born to be loved.
Born to be loved by you.
(you and only you, born to be with only you)
Born for you.
Born for you baby.
Born for you.
Born for you baby.
Born for you, born for you baby...

Walk on, if we should meet
Walk on, on down the street
Walk on, and don't even look
Walk on, close up the book

We don't want the world to see us like we are
We should never have even gone this far
Quickly brush away that teardrop
Walk away, darling, don't stop
Don't look back for me
Baby, walk on

Walk on, don't turn around
Walk on, to higher ground
Take the love we've shared together
Keep it in your heart forever
Don't forget me
But, baby, walk on

If you ever loved me
Baby, walk on

Tonight at midnight you came by
I shook my head, tried not to cry
Halfway weeping, halfway sleeping
Tossing, turning, trembling, burning
Here it comes, heartache

You wore your hair down
I love it that way
You reached out and touched me
And then you faded away

Its unreal, the way I feel
Its almost dawn and you are gone
Here it comes, heartache

Heartache of heartache
Deeper than blue
Teardrop on teardrop
Im still in love with you

What a way to start a day
Here it comes, heartache over you
Heartache for you
Everytime you walk through my mind
I get that old heartache

1974 version

At night I try not to cry
Each tomorrow brings more sorrow
All the time you're on my mind
My heart just aches, it almost breaks
Its almost dawn, heartache

I know it's over
But I don't know why
You reached out and touched me
And then you said goodbye

Oh it's unreal, the way I feel
Its almost dawn the nights too long
My dream is gone
Im all alone with heartache

Heartache of heartache
Deeper than blue
Teardrop on teardrop
Im still in love with you

Oh, what a way to start a day
Heartaches today like yesterday
Here comes the sun
No place to run from heart

There was a man whose memories were made up,
Of nothing.
He pushed the elevator button, and go home,
To nothing.
Yes his business had prospered but women get lonely sometimes, now she has the house
His son in college had dropped out,
To expand his mind.
And Sarah, his daughter had not spoken to him.
Maybe he'd raised her the wrong way.
He wondered.
He checked his mailbox, with fingers a-tremblin'
No mail, from anyone.
"I'm home?" he said softly, as he opened the door and gazed at his empty apartment.
Aching, thinking.
Southbound Jericho Parkway
Is what you call a one-way street.

Is what you call a one-way street.
At 7.20, monday after New Year,
Mister Henry Johnson leaned against the pedal
Aimed his Lincoln steady and drove himself into a wall.
How could a thing sush as this ever happen.
All the community said it was shame.
He was a good man,he was a clean man. yeah,
That was it: he was a good, clean man
And his landlady said he was an exemplary tenant.
They're always nice and quiet when they're all alone
At his age.
The young man sat, on a small woven mat.
While the silken smoke it cirlcled over head.
The cigarettes were there to prove he didn't care
'Bout the contents of the telegram he'd just read.
Father, father, father.
You always seemed to be so out of reach.
And the psychedelyc sign read: peace.
Apartment in New York, a girl closes the door,
And leans against it with her head bowed low.
Thoughts raced through her mind
Of when she was a child.
Raised warmly by a man she didn't know.
Father, father, father.
She wished she had phoned him yesterday
There were so many things she had to say
Henry, the check is in my hands
Brought by the insurance man to cover all my plans
We'll have flowers, your broker will be there
And Sarah, if she cares, and our boy with all his hair
And the sun rose,and the sunset
As it always has,
And people yet unknown, were busy being born,
And time when past.

A light shone in the night somewhere ahead
Blue turned into green, then it was red.
And, stirring the night, loud music played
The light I saw in the night was a penny arcade.

"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 the coloured lights cascade."

And music played in 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 machines.

"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 the coloured lights cascade."

"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 the coloured lights cascade."

"Roll up and spend your last dime!
Roll up and spend your last,
Roll up and spend your last,
Roll up and spend your last dime!"

She wakes me every morning
With the touch of her hand.
A soft voice says "good morning dear".
Lips like great roses whisper my name.
As I thrill to her presence so near.

She's hiding a secret that I help her keep.
To lose her I couldn't conceive.
My tears are almost show but she must never know,
That I know she Cheats on me.

I come home in the evening
She meets me at the door.
Her smile melts my anger away.
A warm cup of coffee
My slippers by the chair.
It's the end of another long day.

I can't fight the feeling I have for my wife.
Such beauty to lie and decieve
I can't let her go so she must never know,
That I know she sheats on me.

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
