Runaway Girl

I fell in love with a runaway, a little runaway girl

Each night she's all that I dream about, my little runaway girl

She used to make me glad

Now I'm sad & I feel so bad

Oh why must I always be waiting for little runaway girl? v

My friends all told me I'm wastin' time with my runaway girl

How did I know it was just a line from my runaway girl

She broke my heart in 2

Now I'm blue; you'd be too

If you were in love with a runaway, a little runaway girl

Although she may not feel this love the way that I do

Each night & day I'll pray that someday maybe she'll come through & then...

I know I won't be a lonely boy with my runaway girl

'Cause now I'll be more than just a toy for my runaway girl

If she comes back to me

I'll be free, then you'll see

Oh, my heart will sing & be glad again with my runaway girl

RUNAROUND SUE

Here's my story, sad but true

It's about a girl that I once knew

She took my love then ran around

With every single guy in town

Ah, I should have known it from the very start

This girl will leave me with a broken heart

Now listen people what I'm telling you

A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue

I miss her lips and the smile on her face

The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace

So if you don't wanna cry like I do

A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue

Ah, she likes to travel around

She'll love you but she'll put you down

Now people let me put you wise

Sue goes out with other guys

Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows

I fell in love and my love still grows

Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say

Keep away from-a Runaround Sue

She likes to travel around

Now people let me put you wise

Sue goes out with other guys

Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows

Lord, I've been so unhappy everywhere I go

There's nowhere, no place that I know I can find

Peace for my troubled mind

I took a boat to China, drifted, drifted to Mexico

But nowhere, no place can I ever ever ever find

Peace for my troubled mind

But I had, I had me a girl; she didn't stay long

She left me walkin' in the rain

Wo how I loved my girl, ah but she did me so wrong

She left me with troubles & pain

Oh Lord, I'm so tired, tired of travelin' wherever 4 winds blow

There's just nowhere, no place that I could find

Peace for my, my troubled mind

Oh peace for my troubled mind

Oh a little peace for my, my mind

This little girl, I'm a man now

This little girl, I'll tell you again now

Will Love Ever Come My Way

It seems the whole world wants to turn their backs on me

Can't seem to find someone to give a little love to me

(La la la la la la ooo) (backing over wo-oh's by Dion)

Wonderin' just what to do, wonderin' just where to go

Waiting here all alone, waiting for love to show

Will love ever ever come my way?

Looking for someone's love, looking so hard I cry

Wanting someone to care, wanting as time goes by

Will love ever ever come my way?

I'm just like a lonely drifter, I'm goin' on my way Hoping that I will find love someday, some way Dreaming of love & fun, dreaming the long nights through Wishing on stars above, wishing sounds sad but true Will love ever ever come my way?

(fading out):

(La la la la la la ooo) (backing over wo-oh's by Dion)

THE WANDERER

Oh well I'm the type of guy who will never settle down

Where pretty girls are well, you know that I'm around

I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em they don't even know my name

They call me the wanderer yeah the wanderer

I roam around around around...

Oh well there's Flo on my left and there's Mary on my right

And when she asks me which one I love the best

'Cause I'm the wanderer yeah the wanderer

I roam around around around...

Oh well I roam from town to town

I go through life without a care

'Til I'm as happy as a clown

With my two fists of iron and I'm going nowhere

I hop right into that car of mine and ride around the world

Yeah I'm the wanderer yeah the wanderer

I roam around around around...

Take Good Care Of My Baby

-Words and Music by Gerry Goffin and Carole King

My tears are fallin' 'cause you've taken her away

And though it really hurts me so

There's something that I've gotta say

Take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Please don't ever make her blu-u-u-ue

Just tell her that you love her

Make sure you're thinking of her

In everything you say and do-o-o-o

Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Now don't you ever make her cry-y-y-y

Just let your love surround her

Paint a rainbow all around her

Don't let her see a cloudy sky

Once upon a time that little girl was mine

If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you

So, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e

And if you should discover

That you don't really love her

Just send my baby back home to me

Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e

Sisters of Mercy

Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone.

They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on.

And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song.

Oh I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long.

Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control.

It begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul.

Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned:

When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned.

Well they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them.

They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem.

If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn

they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.

When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon.

Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon.

And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night:

We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right,

We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right.

TEENAGER IN LOVE

(Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman)

Each time we have a quarrel, it almost breaks my heart,

Cause I'm so afraid that we will have to part,

Each night I ask the stars up above,

Why must I be a teenager in love?

One day I feel so happy, next day I feel so sad.

I guess I'll learn to take the good with the bad.

Cause each night I ask the stars up above,

Why must I be a teenager in love?

I cried a tear for nobody but you,

I'll be a lonely one, if you should say we're through.

Well, if you want to make me cry, that won't be so hard to do.

And if you should say goodbye, I'll still go on loving you.

Each night I ask the stars up above,

Why must I be a teenager in love?

I cried a tear for nobody but you,

I'll be a lonely one, if you should say we're through.

Well, if you want to make me cry, that won't be so hard to do.

And if you should say goodbye, I'll still go on loving you.

Each night I ask the stars up above,

Why must I be a teenager in love?

Why must I be a teenager in love? (In love)

Why must I be a teenager in love? (In love)

Why must I be a teenager in love?

SPANISH HARLEM INCIDENT

Words and Music by Bob Dylan

Gypsy gal, the hands of Harlem

Cannot hold you to its heat.

Your temperature's too hot for taming,

Your flaming feet burn up the street.

I am homeless, come and take me

Into reach of your rattling drums.

Let me know, babe, about my fortune

Down along my restless palms.

Gypsy gal, you got me swallowed.

I have fallen far beneath

Your pearly eyes, so fast an' slashing,

An' your flashing diamond teeth.

The night is pitch black, come an' make my

Pale face fit into place, ah, please!

Let me know, babe, I got to know, babe,

If it's you my lifelines trace.

I been wond'rin' all about me

Ever since I seen you there.

On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I'm riding,

I know I'm 'round you but I don't know where.

You have slayed me, you have made me,

I got to laugh halfways off my heels.

I got to know, babe, will I be touching you

So I can tell if I'm really real.

When you wish upon a star

When a star is born

They possess a gift or two

One of them is this

They have the power to make a wish come true

When you wish upon a star

Makes no difference who you are

Anything your heart desires

Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream

No request is too extreme

When you wish upon a star

Like dreamers do

Fate is kind

She brings to those who love

The sweet fulfillment of

Their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue

Fate steps in and pulls you through

When you wish upon a star

Your dream comes true

You ought to see her dance to the yellow dog blues

She's my sugar time baby, I'm her lollipop,

An' everybody knows I love my queen of de hop

(chorus)

(x2):

Oh well she tunes in to Bandstand every day

To watch the kids dancin' 'cross the USA She don't care 'bout a thing 'ceptin rock 'n roll

My baby drives me crazy when she does the stroll, yeah

(chorus)

Well, that's my queen

Yes, that's my queen

Oh, well that's my queen

Yes, that's my queen

TOMORROW IS A LONG TIME

Words and Music by Bob Dylan

If today was not an endless highway,

If tonight was not a crooked trail,

If tomorrow wasn't such a long time,

Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all.

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',

Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',

Only if she was lyin' by me,

Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

I can't see my reflection in the waters,

I can't speak the sounds that show no pain,

I can't hear the echo of my footsteps,

Or can't remember the sound of my own name.

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',

Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',

Only if she was lyin' by me,

Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

There's beauty in the silver, singin' river,

There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky,

But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty

That I remember in my true love's eyes.

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',

Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',

Only if she was lyin' by me,

Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

Where Or When

Where Or When

- words by Lorenz Hart, music by Richard Rodgers

It seems we stood and talked like this before

We looked at each other in the same way then

But I can't remember where or when

The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore

The smile you are smiling you were smiling then

But I can't remember where or when

Some things that happen for the first time

Seem to be happening again

And so it seems that we have met before

And laughed before

And loved before

But who knows where or when

When the Red, Red Robin

When the Red, Red Robin comes Bob, Bob Bobbin' Along When the red, red robin comes bob, bob bobbin' along, along,

There'll be no more sobbing when he starts throbbing

His own sweet song.

Wake up, wake up, you sleepy head,

Get up, get up, get out of bed,

Cheer up, cheer up the sun is red,

Live, love, laugh and be happy.

What if I've been blue,

Now I'm walking through fields of flowers,

Rain may glisten, but I still listen for hours and hours.

I'm just a kid again, doing what I did again, singing a song,

When the red, red robin comes bob, bob bobbin' along.

Work Song

Oscar Brown jr, Nat Adderley

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

Breaking rocks and serving my time

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

Because they done convicted me of crime

Hold it steady right there while I hit it

well reckon that ought to get it

been

working and working

but I still got so terribly far to go

I commited crime Lord I needed

Crime of being hungry and poor

I left the grocery store man bleeding (breathing?)

When they caught me robbing his store

Hold it steady right there while I hit it

Well reckon that ought to get it

been

working and working

but I still got so terribly far to go

I heard the judge say five years

On chain-gang you gonna go

I heard the judge say five years labor

I heard my old man scream "Lordy, no!"

Hold it right there while I hit it

well reckon that ought to get it

been

working and working

but I still got so terribly far to go

Gonna see my sweet honey bee

Gonna break this chain off to run

Gonna lay down somewhere shady

Lord I sure am hot in the sun

Hold it right there while I hit it

well reckon that ought to get it

been

workin' and workin'

been

workin' and slavin'

an'

workin' and workin'

but I still got so terribly far to go

Stagger Lee

by: Lloyd Price

The night was clear and the moon was yellow

And the leaves came tumbling down

I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark

He was barkin' at the two men who were gamblin' in the dark

It was Stagger Lee and Billy, two men who gambled late

Stagger Lee threw seven, Billy swore that he threw eight

Stagger Lee told Billy, "I can't let you go with that"

"You have won all my money and my brand new stetson hat"

Stagger Lee started off goin' down that railroad track

He said "I can't get you Billy but don't be here when I come back"

Stagger Lee went home and he got his forty-four

Said "I'm goin' to the barroom just to pay that debt I owe"

Stagger Lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door

He said "Nobody move" and he pulled his forty-four

Stagger Lee shot Billy, oh he shot that poor boy so bad

Till the bullet came through Billy and it broke the bartender's glass

Swinging On A Star

- words by Johnny Burke, music by Jimmy Van Huesen

Would you like to swing on a star,

Carry moonbeams home in a jar,

And be better off than you are,

Or would you rather be a mule?

A mule is an animal with long funny ears

Kicks up at anything he hears

His back is brawny but his brain is weak

He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak

And by the way, if you hate to go to school

You may grow up to be a mule

Or would you like to swing on a star,

Carry moonbeams home in a jar,

And be better off than you are,

Or would you rather be a pig?

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face

His shoes are a terrible disgrace

He has no manners when he eats his food

He's fat and lazy and extremely rude

But if you don't care a feather or a fig

You may grow up to be a pig

Or would you like to swing on a star,

Carry moonbeams home in a jar,

And be better off than you are,

Or would you rather be a fish?

A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook

He can't write his name or read a book

To fool the people is his only thought

And though he's slippery, he still gets caught

But then if that sort of life is what you wish

You may grow up to be a fish

A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish

And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo

Every day you meet quite a few

So you see it's all up to you

You can be better than you are

You could be swingin' on a star

WHITE CHRISTMAS

-- I. Berlin

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas just like the ones I used to know,

where the tree tops glisten and children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas with every Christmas card I write,

may your days be merry and bright and may all your Christmases be white.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas just like the ones I used to know,

where the tree tops glisten and children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas with every Christmas card I write,

may your days be merry and bright and may all your Christmases be white.

You Can't Judge A Book By It's Cover

by Willie Dixon

You can't judge an apple by looking at a tree

You can't judge honey by looking at the bee

You can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother

You can't judge a book by looking at the cover

Oh can't you see, oh you misjudge me

I look like a farmer, but I'm a lover

You can't judge a book by looking at the cover

Oh come on in closer baby,

hear what else I gotta say!

You got your radio turned down too low

Turn it up!

You can't judge sugar by looking at the cane

You can't judge a woman by looking at her man

You can't judge a sister by looking at her brother

You can't judge a book by looking at the cover

Oh can't you see, oh you misjudge me

I look like a farmer, but I'm a Lover

You can't judge a book by looking at the cover

You can't judge a fish by lookin' in the pond

You can't judge right from looking at the wrong

You can't judge one by looking at the other

You can't judge a book by looking at the cover

Oh can't you see, oh you misjudge me

I look like a farmer, but I'm a lover

You can't judge a book by looking at the cover

WHITE CHRISTMAS

You're Nobody Til Somebody Loves You

(Morgan/Stock/Cavanaugh)

You´re nobody till somebody loves you

You´re nobody till somebody cares

You might be king, you might possess, the world and its gold

But gold won´t bring you happiness, when you´re growing old

The world still is the same

You´ll never change it

As sure as the stars shine above

You´re nobody till somebody loves you

So find yourself somebody to love

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus

Underneath the mistletoe last night.

She didn't see me creep

Down the stairs to have a peep

She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep.

Then I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus

Underneath his beard so snowy white.

Oh, what a laugh it would have been

If Daddy had only seen

Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.

Silent Night

Silent night, holy night,

All is calm, all is bright

Round yon virgin mother and child.

Holy infant so tender and mild,

Sleep in heavenly peace.

Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night,

Shepherds quake at the sight,

Glories stream from heaven afar,

Heavely hosts sing alleluia;

Christ the Saviour, is born!

Christ the Saviour, is born!

Silent night, holy night,

Son of God, love's pure light

Radiant beams from thy holy face,

With the dwan of redeeming grace,

Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer

Rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer

had a very shiny nose.

And if you ever saw him,

you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer

used to laugh and call him names.

They never let poor Rudolf

play in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve

Santa came to say:

"Rudolf with your nose so bright,

won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him

as they shouted out with glee:

"Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer,

you'll go down in history!"

Winter Wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening

in the lane snow is glistening

A beautiful sight

we're happy tonight

walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird

here to stay is a new bird

He sings a love song

as we go along

walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman

Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say: Are you married?

we'll say: No man

But you can do the job

when you're in town Later on

we'll conspire

as we dream by the fire

To face unafraid

the plans that we've made

walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman

and pretend that he's a circus clown

We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman until the alligators knock him down

When it snows ain't it thrilling

Though your nose gets a chilling

We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way

walking in a winter wonderland

Walking in a winter wonderland

walking in a winter wonderland

Unloved Unwanted me

'There's never been a guy in the said shape I'm in,

I try and try sometimes but just never win

... I'm not the happy I guy I pretend to be '

I'm just unloved unwanted me

see...let me tell you about it now

'I clown around but way deep down I'm torn apart,

I swear my heart was made to hide a broken heart'

I wish I was the guy I that I pretended to be

and not unloved unwanted me

tell you all about it now

step on it

'Never felt so let down as I do tonight

. I got no one to love me hug me hold me tight

I'm not the happy guy that I pretend to be

I'm just unloved unwanted me

, now looks like the end,

my good friend'

play it again…

SEPTEMBER SONG

Written by M. Anderson and K. Weill

Oh, it's a long, long while

From May to December

But the days grow short

When you reach September

When the autumn weather

Turns the leaves to flame

One hasn't got time

For the waiting game

Oh, the days dwindle down

To a precious few

September

November

And these few precious days

I'll spend with you

These precious days

I'll spend with you

(Repeat last two verses)

These precious days

I'll spend with you

Losers keepers is what it is

And it's a crazy, crazy,' game

(Repeat chorus)

YOUR OWN BACKYARD"

I've been sittin' here thinkin'

'Bout when I started in drinking

I went on to dope.. it surely did change my life

I cried a tear in a beer for me

I lost everything near and dear to me

Mainly my children and my wife

My idea of having a good time

Was sitting with my head between my knees

I knew everything there was to know

Everything except which way to go

I cried "Oh God take me will You please"

Many a time I swore up and down

I didn't need all this junk that was going round

I can quit but let me finish what I got

After a11 this stuff sure costs a lot

Then I'll get my feet back on the ground

I can't tell anybody how to live their life

even though inside we're all the same

all those things are toys we're playing with

you know we're all losers in the that game

Since I've been straight and haven't been in my cups

I'm not shooting downs or using ups

you know I'm still crazy as a loon

even though I don't run out and cop a spoon

but thank the good lord god I had enough

I got a friend his name is Richard grands

he says you don't need to be stoned to grow a friend

you're all beautiful people the way you are

tell me what has that stuff done for you so far

I've been sittin' here winkin and a blinkin

I don't have to sit around no more and nod

I can do anything I wanna do

do it straight and do it so much better to

it's gotta start right in your own backyard

"SOFT PARADE OF YEARS"

"RUNNING CLOSE BEHIND YOU"

I've escaped the city life and the way that I used to be.

The traffic of the clouds above cannot turn me away.

The rainbow of your spilling laughter always now lights my way.

I'm running close behind you.

I'm running now close behind you.

Here I come.... I'm close behind you.

Through windy fields of clover green you're dancing into spring,

followed by the sun and I in a wild April fling.

The warming rays of morning sunlight find us closer still,

and every heartbeat is a footstep high on heaven's hill.

I'm running close behind you.

I'm running now close behind you.

Here I come ...I' m close behind you.

Like the angel in a mischief mood you skip ahead of me,

The soft rolling surf has pulled our love prints out to sea.

Your silhouette in a mystic flight across the classic dawn

remains in sight a fleeting moment

and is then quickly gone.

I'm running close behind you.

I'm running now close behind you.

Here I come ...I' m close behind you.

'TRAVELLER IN THE RAIN"

There's a chance you'll wake tomorrow

with the shrieking flames of daybreak

like an ill-tuned trumpet blaring I have left you.

You might hurry to your window

hear the rhythm of my bootheels,

see me moving down the highway towards tomorrow.

I'm a friend of the darkness, traveller in the rain.

I'll be gone before the daybreak comes again.

I love the silver slant of raindrops

and the road just beneath my feet girl,

yet I'm much too shy to say please understand.

Last night's storm called me to follow

with the voices of choral thunder,

so is it any wonder I have left you.

I'm a friend of the darkness, traveler in the rain.

I'll be gone before the daybreak

comes again.

'TENNESSEE MADONNA"

You're a cousin to the mountains,

and a sister to each pine,

you tremble like an ever-flowing glass of wine.

You like sand instead of carpets

with a thousand watts of sun,

and quick wingbeats in place of clocks

to tell your time.

You're at home on any hilltop,

but you cry on Ferris wheels,

and you lose yourself in other people's lives.

Oh. my Tennessee Madonna

country daughter of the plain,

your days revolve in crystal worlds

of falling rain.

My altar is your slanting knees

where I whisper my nightly thoughts,

yet I never fear the flame

that burns inside.

There are children lost inside of you

just waiting to be born

as a happy compromise

of you and me.

You're at home on any hilltop

but you cry on Ferris wheels,

and you lose yourself

in other people's lives.

Oh, my Tennessee Madonna

country daughter of the plain,

your days revolve in crystal worlds

of falling rain.

"SEA GULL"

Seagull...

Born in the whirling womb of spinning time

so light with silver wings in freedom.

I wish I had the roads you have to choose

to find myself somewhere.

Seagull How does it feel to weave all you believe

through weightless clouds up there

I wonder?

Haunted by ageless men who sailed

and lost themselves beyond the shores.

Seagull...

One question mark I see there in the sky,

Won't you come down and touch my hand

before you die?

Try to touch everything beneath your wings then fly.., then fly...

Seagull...

How can you dodge my eyes through rainless skies

then go and trick the sun above you.

Side Two

"THE WEDDING SONG'

Love grows every day we're together.

Life flows, banding our lives to each other.

I was a child; now i'll be a man.

I was a child; now I'll be a man.

You hold all my years In your body,

You're my friend, my love,

You know everything about me.

You were a child, you're a child no more.

You were a child, now you've been reborn.

The circle's waiting for us to take our place.

The circle never changes, we're all the same.

Love grows every day we're together.

Life flows, binding our lives to each other.

I was a child; now I'll be your man.

You were a child, now you'll be my friend.

"TO DREAM TOMORROW'

i'm Ieavin' on the first plane

goin' South tomorrow morning

Where the fires burn warm and ease my heart

and keep my soul from longing

It makes me smile

to dream tomorrow.

Home is where my heart is

Where my true love waits for me

Where the children's laughter

Fill the air with harmony.

There's beauty in the people

and the songs along the highway

I'll carry with me thru tomorrow

But I feel the warm home fire

burning deep inside me

It makes me smile to dream tomorrow

Dream tomorrow.

YO FRANKIE-(SHE'S ALL RIGHT WITH ME)

You might think you need a beauty queen

You might want a California dream

Some guys fancy a Monroe look a like

but my girl sends me higher than a rocket

What's her name

What's her game

Sounds the same

She comes walkin down the street

Yo FRANKIE

She's all right with me

You might want a movie star type

I don't go for that show business type

You might seek an uptown debutante

But my girl got me smack dab In her

pocket

CHORUS -

All that powder, perfume and paint

Makes me think some girls are what they ain't

She. specaliizln' on the heart and soul

I feel like a king In every way

You might want en assertive go-getter

You might think you need a cool Jet-Setter

Some girl's father who owns DuPont

But my girl moves me, got a rolex

her socket

TOWER Of LOVE

I guess we can't help It

The moment just found us

The timing was perfect,

the energy boundless

We both reed each other, words aren't necessary

Like dancers In rhyme, we're involuntary

We think as one person without concentrating

I'm high on your laughter. its Intoxicating

We walk on the ceiling, the walls can't contain us

Together we're flying, the angels can claim us

You bring the dream

I'll bring the power

We'll bland It together

We'll build e tower of love

tower of love

You bring passion

I'll bring desire

Then we'll light the sunrise turn it to fire

And love

Turn it to love

With all of this feeling, the whole world can't cage us

My heart heats with your heart and ft's contagious

CHORUS

SERENADE

never saw the morning till I Stated all night

Never saw the sunshine till i turned out the light

Never saw my hometown till I stayed away too long

I never heard the melody till I needed the song

Till I needed the song

Never saw the white line till I was leavin' you behInd

Never knew I needed you till we caught up in a bind

And I never spoke I love you till cursed you in vein

Never felt my heart strings till nearly went insane

Till nearly went insane

I love you

I love you

Sometimes It's just so hard to say

Never saw the East Coast I till I moved to the West

Never saw the moonlight till it shone off your breast

And I never saw your heart till he tried to steel it away

Never saw your tears till they rolled down your face

till they rolled down your face

YOU'VE AWAKENED SOMETINNG IN ME"

I never knew existed

I'd like to crawl inside you

To feel all that you believe

You bound the music in me

The melody will play on

And I can hear your heart beat

A thousand miles away

Chorus:

You know I bet like I've been lifted high

Through the wind and clouds to touch the sky

I feel like I can fly

You're a child, yet you're a woman, babe

'Tween innocence and passion

Come here and lay beside me I cant leave your love alone

Lisa, you've captured me

Made my dream realty

Repeat Chorus

The years that lie between us

They're like corridors unlighted

The torch that I am holding

Will always last to light my way

the PATTERN OF MY LIFELINE

From Mary I learned consciousness through Zen

linda taught me geometric tables

But only you said, let's begin again"

Karen demonstrated every dance step

Laura bought me all that money could buy

Sherry cooked dinners like a French gourmet

But only you could see through every lie.

Chorus:

Maybe that's the pattern of my lifeline

Maybe I've been misled far too long

Now you and I can find the truth on down the line

It makes no difference If sometimes we're wrong.

Jeannie knew the wild inside of summer

Carol claimed her health foods made me well

Gina lost herself In books to guide her

But only you knew more than they could tell.

Repeat chorus

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE

We Don't Talk Anymore

We don't get it out

We just turn it away

What's this all about

We-Don't Talk Anymore

We Don't Talk Anymore

Repeat Chorus:

Lovin' her has turned into a game

She does her thing and I do the same

You know it ain't like it used to be

She done everything but set me free

Repeat Chorus:

I stagger in and it's quarter to four

I know she heard me, I slammed the back door

But she'll just turn over and softly cry

I used to love her, now I don't try

Repeat Chorus:

We turn it away

Repeat Chorus:

STREET MAMA

'Cause she just couldn't hack it

Hangin' out on the New York street

With a punk in: leather jacket

She likes to tease, Manhattan queen

By the johns in the discotheques

Burnin' hips to turn soft tricks

Sellin' coke and bouncin' checks

Chorus::

Street Mama. Street Mama

Look at yourself, you're livin' in the New York Times

Street Mama, Street Mama

Look at yourself, you're livin' in the New York Times

She met a dude in a rock and roll band

That got her on the health board file

You know it ain't no fun in a dirty city

When you're wearin' a contagious smile

Now what's this jive 'bout stayin' alive?

I'm payin' my dues

She'll go the whole route

'Till she finally checks out

And you can read it in the Daily News

Repeat Chorus:

What': this jive 'bout stayin' alive?

She said "Man I'm only payin' my dues

You go the whole route till you finally check out

I'll read it in the Daily News

YOU ARE MY STAR

I looked to the sky and thought I saw

Nothing at all

Then you looked at me

In a room full of people

You were all I could see

out of the blue you came shining through

Showed me all the things love could be

Chorus::

You Are My Star

Shining so bright

Keep me in your love-light

all the way

You Are My Star -

Nothing's more right

Than me holding you tight -

Night and day

You Are My Star

Here comes the sun

But girl you don't have to run

You leave your love with me

Today

Once I was lost, heading in the wrong direction

I looked in your eyes and that's when I made

My connection

Then I saw the light

In a world full of darkness

You were shining so bright

You've got a glow baby you know

There's really nothin I wouldn't do

THE POWER OF love WITHIN

I took my love and dream to roam, girl

Cross down in the countryside

To make tins little town my home

Nothing to me matters now

Except that dream and you

The magic of your laughter, girl

And the dollar in my shoe

Chorus:

Listen to the wind, the quiet river roll

The music of my life, the rhythm of my soul

Howl love that sound

Let It all begin

Listen to the melody

And the power of love within

From Tucson to the Southern Coast

A friendly dog he followed me

He died one day in San Jose

I had to leave him by the sea, girl

No, I haven't saved too much

But what I have we'll share

A song I just wrote yesterday

And the magic feeling in the air

Repeat chorus

Trust In The Lord

Trust in the Lord with all of your heart

Lean not on your own understanding

Acknowledge the Lord in all of your ways

He will make your path straight

Repeat Chorus

He will make your path straight

Yes He will

Jonah got along in the belly of the whale

Daniel in the Lion's den

I know a man who lived on faith

Till the very end

Now the Good Book says without faith

It is impossible to please God

Because anyone who comes to Him

Must believe

Repeat Chorus

He will make your path straight

Yes He will

Against all hope Father Abraham

Did hope and did believe

God calls things that are not

As though they were

Now, God said He did not believe it

And that's good enough for me

We who walk by faith and not by

What we see

Repeat Chorus

Yes He will

He will make your path straight

Bridge:

Faith is being sure of what we hope for

And it is certain of what we do not see

Faith it surely comes by hearing

The Word of God, you see, yeah

Repeat Chorus

He will make your path straight

TAG ALONG

WRITERS GENE SCHWARTZ, BAER, GREENBURG

I was walkin' by my lonesome

Feeling mighty blue

Dreamin' of my baby

My darling Cindy Lou

If she'd love me just a little

I would love her strong

Then I would be happy

Just to tag along

Tag along, tag along

I'm a lonesome lover

I gotta tag along

I been planning and a-sceemin'

Day and nighttime too

How to make her love me

Like she oughta do

She smiles at me so pretty

She listens to my song

When she leaves me singin'

Then I'll just tag along

Tag along, tag along

I'm a lonesome lover

I just must tag along

I says a, tag-tag and a-taggin' along

This is a, tag-tag and a-taggin' along

Rock, tag-tag and taggin' along

Bop, tag-tag and taggin' along

I said a tag-tag, tag along with me

Rock now, tag-tag, taggin' along

Rock, tag-tag, taggin' along

Yeah, tag-tag, taggin' along

Uh-huh, tag-tag, tag along

Ta-a-a-a-a-g along

My friends are all in love with

With my Cindy too

They say she won't have me

No matter what I do

But the other day she kissed me

Now there's nothing wrong

If I keep on hopin'

While I tag along

Tag along, tag along

I'm a lonesome lover

I gotta tag along

I guess I'll tag-tag, tag along

I gotta tag-tag, tag along

Yeah, tag-tag, tag along

I'm gonna tag-tag, tag along

I just ta-a-a-a-a-g along

SHU BOP (THE LOST TRACK)

Shu Bop, Shubedubop, Oh oh (x8)

I can't forget the first time I saw you walking by

My heart stopped for a moment

There was love in my eyesv Shu Bop, Shubedubop, Oh oh (x4)

And I, I had to find a way

to make you look my way

There was joy in my heart

I, I couldn't turn away

What more girl can I say

It was love from the start

I don't know you

But I love you

And that feels so strange to me

And I know I want you

Got to have you

Stop girl, turn around and won't you look at me

You looked and you caught my eyes

I thought that I would die

It was love from the first time

You, you smiled and I walked away

Thinking of what to say

There was nowhere to hide

Shu Bop, Shubedubop, Oh oh (x4)

I can't forget the first time I saw you walking by

I don't know you

But I love you

And that feels so strange to me

I know I want you

Got to have you

Stop girl, turn around and won't you look at me

You looked and you caught my eyes

I thought that I would die

I was lost for the first time

You, you smiled and I walked away

Thinking of what to say

There was nowhere to hide

Shu Bop, Shubedubop, Oh oh (x8)

7 They Won't Tell You

Glad to tune you in

The Days Of Our Lives

Are planned right to the end

Oh you're morning examine

You'll catch the Price Is Right

You'll make the romance

You'll find on the air tonight

And we'll take a pause

To tell you what you need

Get through the Days Of Our Lives

To succeed

A pill for pain

Some soap to clean you up

A brand new car

Some coffee to fill your cup

Chorus:

But they won't tell you

What you need to know

They won't tell you

Jesus paid the price

To free your soul

Jesus freed you

TV keeps you strung out

On the pleasures of the world

While the radio keeps you

Hooked on the rock 'n roll

I tell you

Now, don't make no sense at all

But it's been that way

Ever since the fall

The powers of darkness

Trying to do you in

Driving you deeper

And deeper into your sin

Now it's time to turn

On the evening news

But I'd rather hear

Muddy Waters singing blues

You gotta keep up

To know what's going down

Who's winning and losing

Which side's gaining ground

A little…..

Will turn on some comic relief

Huh! Something funny

To make you show your teeth

A Fantasy Island

To help you get away

A celebrity show

To see what they've got to say

But you won't find it on

The Johnny Carson show

They won't tell you

And Norman Lee

Won't put you in the know

Jesus freed you

Archie Bunker

He will say goodbye

When the season ends

But Jesus will always be your Friend

I tell you

There's just one way to go

Turn on your life

Turn off the picture show

Stand in the love

And the light of reality

Accept Him as Lord

And He will set you free

But you won't find it

In the People Magazine

They won't tell you

The truth, the life

The One who makes you clean

Jesus frees you

Charlie's Angels

Cannot save you

From the darkness in this world

And Barnaby Jones

He cannot fill you in

I tell you

Chorus

TV keeps you strung out

On the pleasures of this world

While the radio keeps you

Hooked on the rock 'n roll

Yeah, they won't tell you

They won't tell you

What you need to know

Jesus freed you

What you need to know

They won't tell you

They won't tell you, no

You won't hear

Jesus freed you
