I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I wandered so aimless, my heart filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
Just like a blind man I wandered alone
Worries and fears, I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I was a fool to wander and stray
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
What would you do if I told you that I'm falling in love
again?
I found a love that will hold my hand and baby she
understands
A way to make my heart beat faster.
Is this heaven we're living in?
A way to make my life worth living.
I've fallen in love again.
I've got to ask you now, baby:
What would you say if I told you that I'm falling in love
again?
I found a love that will hold my hand and baby she
understands
A way to make my heart beat faster.
Is this heaven we're living in?
A way to make my life worth living.
I've fallen in love again.
My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you.
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I Only Have Eyes For You, Dear.
The moon maybe high
but I can't see a thing in the sky,
'Cause I Only Have Eyes For You.
I don't know if we're in a garden,
or on a crowded avenue.
You are here
So am I
Maybe millions of people go by,
but they all disappear from view.
I I used to think that I could not go wrong
And life was nothing but that an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
2-If I can see it, then I can do (be) it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
1-I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
(Oh) I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes inside us, it can seem so long
There are miracles in life I must achieve
How much do I love you?
Ill tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?
How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
>from here to a star?
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
>from here to a star?
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
I'VE BEEN LYIN' HERE THINKIN' OVER OLD TIMES
OLD FRIENDS OF YOURS, OLD FRIENDS OF MINE
AT LEAST HALF OF THESE HEARTS HAVE BEEN BROKEN IN TWO
SOMETIMES LOVE JUST AIN'T STRONG ENOUGH
SOME GIVE IN AND SOME GIVE UP AND IT STARTED ME
THINKIN'
WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT YOU.
SO YOU CAN HOLD ME IN YOUR SWEET LOVIN' ARMS
TAKE ME WHERE IT'S SAFE AND WARM
HOLD ME, JUST A LITTLE LONGER TONIGHT.
PEOPLE TAKE LOVE FOR A FOOLISH THING
SOME TEAR IT DOWN, SOME GIVE IT WINGS
I'D LIKE TO THINK
THAT WE COULD FLY AWAY, HEY HEY YEAH.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE, SAY ALWAYS WILL
STAND BY ME BABY, TILL THE WORLD STANDS STILL
SAY YOU WILL, SAY IT TONIGHT BABY
SAY YOU WILL.
OH, HOLD ME IN YOUR SWEET LOVIN' ARMS

HOLD ME, JUST A LITTLE LONGER TONIGHT.
HOLD ME JUST A LITTLE LONGER TONIGHT.

I I I WANT YOU TO TAKE ME
OHH HOLD ME
I I I WANT YOU TO TAKE ME NOW BABY

Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain?
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that I love you

To ever treat you so mean

And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted
Leaving love unshown
Makes will power weak
And temptation strong
[Chorus:]
A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man
They say it's a man's world
But you can't prove that by me
And as long as we're together
Show some respect for me
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man
[Chorus]
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man
If you want a do right all's day woman
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Hard luck and trouble is my only friend
I been on my own ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all
I can't read, haven't learned how to write
My whole life has been one big fight
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all
I ain't lyin'
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no kind-a luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Wine and women is all I crave
A big legged woman is
gonna carry me to my grave
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Yeah, my bad luck boy
It's not just sentimental, no no no
She has her grief and cares, yeah yeah yeah
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bare, yeah
Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness,
Oh, that's all you got to do, now
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never never possess, ah no now
But while she's waiting there, all you gotta do is
Try a little tenderness, oh yeah
It's not just sentimental, no no no
She's had her grief and cares, yeah yeah yeah
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle
It makes it easier, easier to bare, yeah
You won't regret it, no no
Young girls they don't forget it
Love, love, love is their whole happiness, ah yeah,
yeah
But it's all so easy
All you have to do is try a little tenderness, ah
tenderness
All you have to do is try a little tenderness
All you have to do is be nice
Try a little tenderness
Squeeze her, don't leave her,
You thought you had found a good girl
One to love you and give you the world
Now you find that you've been misused
Talk to me, I'll do what you choose, I want you to
Tell Mama all about it
Tell Mama what you need
Tell Mama what you want
And I'll make everything alright
That girl you had didn't have no sense
She wasn't worth all the time that you spent
She had another man throw you outdoors
Now the same man is wearing your clothes, I want you to
Tell Mama all about it
Tell Mama what you need
Tell Mama what you want
And I'll make everything alright
Tell me, tell me now
She would embarrass you anywhere
She'd let everybody know she didn't care
Give me a chance I've been beggin' you
And I just want to take care of you, I want you to
Tell Mama all about it
Tell Mama what you need
Tell Mama what you want
Tell Mama what you want right now
Tell me, tell your mom
I'm your Mama
If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby, my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy
If you are serious
Don't play with my heart, it makes me furious
But if want me to love you
Then, baby, I will, girl, you know I will
Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I-I-I-I-I know deep down inside of me
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride
Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby, go on and live
Tell it like it is
I'm nothin' to play with, go and find yourself a toy
But I-I-I-I-I
Tell it like it is
My time is too expensive
And I'm not your little boy
FADE
I'm just a fool who really loves you
There is no greater fool than me
You told me lies and I believed you
How big a fool can you be
I close my eyes when people tell me
They saw you kissin' someone new
I just won't let my heart believe it
I'm just a fool in love with you
Some day you may be crying
Crying over me
And if that ever happens
A fool you too may be
Why don't you change your way of livin'?
And walk the straight and never lie
The Lord forgives a fool who's willin'
I'll give the world to make you mine
Some day you may be crying
Crying over me
And if that ever happens
A fool you too, you too may be
Why don't you change your way of livin'?
And walk the straight and never lie
The Lord forgives a fool who's willin'
It could be a spoonful of coffee
It could be a spoonful of tea
But one little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me
Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Everybody fight about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
It could be a spoonful of water
To save you from the desert sand
But one spoon of love from my forty five
Will save you from another man
Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Everybody fightin' about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
It could be a spoonful of sugar
It could be a spoonful of tea
But one little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me
Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Everybody fightin' about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
Its no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffics boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
Theres an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment wont be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Sorrow
is the street that I'm living on
Across Pain Avenue
In a town call Moan
The people I see are sadder than me
A river of tears
Don't you know it flows by my door
And I'm living
(Next door to the Blues)
Yes I'm living
(Next door to the Blues)
And after all I've been through
I've had to move
Oh Lord
next door to the Blues
Memory
You can tell it in my talk
My heart hurts
Even when I walk
I cry on
a pillar made of stone
Pity is my name
And that thing called love is to blame
And I'm living
(Next door to the Blues)
Yes I'm living
(Next door to the Blues)
And after all I've been through
I've had to move, oh Lord
next door to the Blues
Bittersweet
Is the food that I cook
My only joy is in a storybook
the talk I give
Every word brings a tear
Every hello
Just ends with a sad goodbye
And I'm living
(Next door to the Blues)
Yes I'm living
(Next door to the Blues)
And after all I've been through
I've had to move, Oh Lord
You asked me if there'll come a time when
I grow tired of you
Never my love
You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose it's desire for you
Never my love, never my love
Never my love
What makes you think love will end
When you know that my whole life depends
On you
Never my love
You say you fear I'll change my mind and I
Won't require your youth
Never my love, no never, never my love
Now how can you think love will end when
I've asked you to spend your whole life
With me
Never my love, never my love
Never my love, never my love
Never my love
I'll leave you never my love
Oh, believe me baby
I want you forever and ever
I was lost in the world of dreams
counting every star shining overhead it seems
I was like a shepherd boy
searching for his lamb
round here round there round everywhere
You came, yeah you captured me
You and all your charms
Oh yes you set me free
We kissed and the world was ours
And my heart cried oh, I love you so
Then my heart cried oh, I love you so
Then my heart cried oh, I love you so, love you so, love
My funny valentine, sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, un-photographable
Yet, you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But, don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's Day
(Orchestral Break)
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But, don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay
Miss you baby, miss you baby (what I feel)
Miss you baby (you should take what I take)
Miss you, miss you baby (what I feel)
Miss you, baby, miss you baby (you should take what I
take)
(2x:)
Miss you, miss you baby
Miss you baby, miss you baby
I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
'Cause I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want kiss you
(8x:)
Hey, come on
Come on
Well I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
'Cause I miss you, child
I've been waiting in the hall
I've been waiting on your call
'Cause I miss you
I miss you baby
I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
'Cause I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want kiss you
Miss you baby, miss you baby
Miss you baby
Miss you, miss you baby
Miss you baby, miss you baby
Baby, why do you wait so long?
I won't to know, yeah - yeah
Baby, why do you wait so long?
(8x:)
Hey, come on
I've got dreams
Dreams to remember
I've got dreams Dreams to remember
Honey I saw you there last night
Another womans arms holding you tight
Nobody knows what I feeled inside
All I know, I walked away and cried
I've got dreams
Dreams to remember
I've got dreams, rough dreams Dreams to remember
I know you said she was just your friend
But I saw you kiss her again and again
These eyes of mine, they don't fool me
Why did she hold you so tenderly?
I've got dreams
Dreams to remember
I've got dreams
Dreams, rough dreams
Dreams to remember
I still want you to stay
I still love you anyway, anyway
I don't want you to ever leave
Before you satisfy me! [Ooh-Wee!]
I know you said she was just a friend
But I saw you kiss her again and again, again
These eyes of mine, they don't fool me
Why did she hold you so tenderly?
I've got dreams
Dreams to remember
I've got dreams
Dreams, bad dreams
Dreams, rough dreams
To remember
Don't make me suffer
Dreams, bad dreams
Dreams, rough dreams
I've been loving you too long
to stop now
You are tired...
And you want to be free
My love is growing stronger,
as you become a habit to me
I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna stop now
With you my life
Has been so wonderful
I can't, I can't stop now
You are tired
And your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger
as our affair, our affair grows old
I've been loving you a little too long
I don't want to stop now
I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna, I don't wanna stop now
And don't make me stop now
Oh baby
I'm down on my knees
Please, don't make me stop now
I love you, I love you, I love you with all my heart
And I can't stop now
Please, please, please don't make me stop now
yeah yeah yeah
I love you
I know you've been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
But if you let me here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you
I, I've loved and lost the same as you
So you see I know just what you've been through
But if you let me here's what I'll do
Oh I just got to take care of you,
You won't ever have to worry
You won't ever have to cry
I'll be there beside you
To dry your weeping eyes
So darling tell me that you'll be true
For there is no doubt in my mind
I know what I want to do
Understand, sure as one and one is two
Oh, you know I'll take care of you
I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day and through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children carrousel
The chestnut trees
The wishing well
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
Sometimes billie sung the next verse
------------------------------------
Cathedral bells were tolling
As our love sang on.
Was it the spell of paris,
Or just the april dawn?
Who knows if we will meet again,
Baby, take off your coat...(real slow)
Baby, take off your shoes...(here, I'll take your shoes)
Baby, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Go on over there and turn on the light...no, all the
lights
Now come back here and stand on this chair...that's right
Raise your arms up in to the air...shake 'em
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
Suspicious minds are talking
Trying to tear us apart
They say that my love is wrong
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
Fool that I am
For falling in love with you
And a fool that I am
For thinking you loved me too
You took my heart
Then played the part of little coquette
And all my dreams just disappeared
Like the smoke from a cigarette
And oh, yeah, yeah, fool that I am
For hoping, oh, you'd understand
And thinking you would listen too
And oh, the things, the things I had planned
But we couldn't see eye to eye
So, darling, darling, darling
This is goodbye
But I still care, but I still care
And oh, fool that I am
Oh, but I still care
I got a heart full of trouble, a house full of sin.
And things are bad as they ever been.
If trouble were money,
I'd have more money than any man should.
I'm open for business in your neighborhood,
The blues is my business, and business is good.
If I had a dollar for every broken heart,
I'd be drinkin' fine wine and eatin' caviar.
If trouble were money,
I'd have more money than any man should.
I'm open for business in your neighborhood,
The blues is my business, and business is good.
Well business, the business is good.

LICKS -----------
It's a world full of trouble and a world full of pain,

The blues is my business,
Don?t know why
There?s no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain?t together
Keeps raining all of the time
Oh yeah, life is bad
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather, stormy weather
And I just can get my poor self together
Oh, I?m weary all of the time
The time, so weary all of the time
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
Oh yeah, if he stays away
Old rockin' chair is gonna get me
All I do is pray, the Lord will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Oh, I can't go on, can't go on, can't go on
Everything I have is gone
Stormy weather, stormy weather
Since my man and I
Me and my daddy ain?t together
Keeps raining all of the time
Oh oh, keeps raining all of the time
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, raining all of the time
I've got to see you, oh somehow
Not tomorrow but, but right now
And I know it's late, but oh you don't make me wait
So come on baby let's steal away and oh let's steal away
Don't make me start thinking, 'cause I might change my mind
My folks are sleeping, so please not waste any time
And oh, and I know it's late, but oh please don't make me wait
So come on, come on let's steal away, please let's steal away
And I know it's wrong, it's wrong needing you this way
But there's no other way that I can be with you
If only my folks, if only my folks they would approve
Things like this, this we wouldn't, we wouldn't have to do
But oh, oh and I won't tell, and I won't tell anybody else
But oh I'm gonna keep it, I'm gonna keep it right here baby and all to myself
And oh and I know it's late, but oh don't make me wait
Please, please baby let's steal away, and oh I'm asking you to steal away
And oh, because I need you, I need you by my side
You know I need you baby, I need you to be my guy
There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, "seek and ye shall find"
So i'm going to seek a certain lad i've had in mind
Looking everywhere, havent found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man i ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his inital to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
There's a somebody I'm longin' to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone to watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know i could, always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how i need
Someone to watch over me
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how i need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me
There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, "seek and ye shall find"

You know my baby told me not so very long ago
He said, "I don't love you, baby
And you got to, you got to let me go"
And that was too much, too much for me
That's why I walked the back streets and cry
You know it hurts me so bad
To hear my baby say
Hear my baby say goodbye
He said another reason that makes me wanna leave
You ain't got enough of nothin' to keep me, keep me [Incomprehensible]
That was too much, oh, too much for me
That's why I walked the back streets, the back street and cry
Oh yeah
Oh, it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
Oh, to hear my baby
Hear my baby say goodbye
He said, "You're a good woman, Etta
To treat me like you do"
He said, "You ain't done nothin' to me
I just can't stay here with you"
I stood and watch my baby as far as I could see
You know the men started runnin'
After waiving, waiving goodbye to me
That was too much, too much for me
That's why I walked the back streets and cry
Oh yeah
You know it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
Oh, to hear my baby
Hear my baby say goodbye
Hear and say goodbye
You know it hurts me so bad
To hear my baby say goodbye
That's why I walked the back streets
The back streets and cry
Oh, I said it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
Hear my baby say, so long
Oh, it hurts me, hurts me, hurts me so bad
Hear my baby say, hear my baby say goodbye
Oh baby, oh, oh, it hurts me so bad
Hear my baby say goodbye
That why I walked the back streets
That why I walked the back streets and cry
Oh, that why I walked the back streets and cry
All alone at the end of the of the evening
When the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking 'bout a man who might have loved me
And I never knew
You know I've always
I've always been a dreamer
Spent my life running 'round
And it's so hard to change
Can't seem to settle down
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same, same
So put me on a highway
And show, show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time
You can spend all your time, spend all your time making money
Oh and you can spend all, spend all your love making time
But if it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still, would you still be mine?
And when you're looking
When you're looking for your freedom
Nobody seems to care
You can't find the door
Can't find it anywhere
When there's nothing
Nothing to believe in
Still you're running back
You keep coming back
You're running back for more
Put me on a highway
And show me, show me a sign
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit
Take it, take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh no
Oh oh
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man?
Didn't I give you everything that a woman possibly can?
Oh, but the longer love I give you it's never enough
And I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough
So come on, come on, come on, come on
And take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break it, break another little piece of my heart now, honey
Honey, have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good
(If it makes you feel good)
You're out on the street looking good
Oh, you know, you deep down in your heart that it ain't right
You never ever hear me, you never hear me when I, when I cry at night
Oh, but each time I tell myself I just can't stand the pain
(I can't stand)
But when you hold me in your arms I've seen [Incomprehensible]
Again and again, and again
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break it, break another little bit of my heart now, honey
Honey, have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good
Take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break it, break another little piece of my heart now, honey
Honey, have another little piece of my heart now, baby
Let's burn down the cornfield
Let's burn down, baby, the cornfield
And we'll listen, we'll listen to it burn
You hide behind the oak tree
I want you to hide behind that
You know that old oak tree
Stay, stay out of danger
Keep outta sight, babe 'til I return
It's so, it's so good
On a cold, cold night, yeah
To have a fire, a fire burnin'
Burnin' warm, warm an' bright

We'll start to rockin', I don't like to stop
You better get ready to rock around the clock

All you have to do is rock and roll and that's all
I'm talking to all the lovers in the house tonight
Now listen, you know I want you to find out what's wrong
And get it right, or you should leave love alone
Because the love you save, it might be your own
People, I've been misled and I've been afraid
I've been hit in the head, ohh, and left for dead
I've been abused, woah and I've been accused
Been refused a piece of bread
But I ain't never in my life before
Seen so many love affairs go wrong as I do today
I want you to stop, find out what's wrong
Get it right or leave love alone
Because the love you save today
May very well be your own
I've been pushed around, oh yeah, and I've been lost and found
Given the sundown to get out of town
I've been taken outside, oh and I've been brutalized
I had to always be the one to smile and apologize
But I ain't never in my life before
Seen so many love affairs go wrong as I do today
I want you to stop, find out what's wrong
Get it right or leave love alone
Because the love you save today

Dreamer, dreamer
Like a foul I thought
That it could be
Dream on, dream on,
So that someone
Will understand me
What do I say
When I fell to much
I think by now
I'm wasting time
I'm going
Oh, Lord I'm gone
You are the essence
Of my mind
Lord dreamer
I'm a dreamer
Like a foul I thought
That it could be
Dream on, dream on,
Sure that someone
I'll do anything that you want me to do.
There ain't nothing baby that I wouldn't do for you.
If you want it bad enough it's catch-as-catch-can.
Oh, when I want it hard enough, you'll be my man.
While I sing the blues.
I sing the blues.
I sing the blues.
Late in the midnight hour.
My daddy sang the blues to my mamma.
Yeah!
I sing the blues.
I sing the blues to you.
I sing the blues.
If you want to talk about it.
I'll hang around.
If you want to fight about it.
Come on and let's get down.
I'll tell you what I'm thinking.
If you wanna know
I'll tell where I'm going if I want you to go.
Baby and I sing the blues.
I sing the blues.
And I sing the blues.
Early in the morning honey I sing the blues.
My daddy sang the blues to my mamma.
And baby I'll sing the low down dirty blues to you.
Baby alright!
(Harmonica solo)

Late in alright honey.
And I sing the blues.
I sing the blues all night long.
Early in the morning.
Late in the midnight.
I sing the blues.
With my Daddy must have sang the blues to your mamma
He must have sang it all night long
I sing the blues
Cain slew Abel, Seth knew not why
For if the children of Israel were to multiply
Why must any of the children die?
So he asked the Lord and the Lord said
Man means nothing he means less to me
Than the lowliest cactus flower or the humblest yucca tree
Chases 'round this desert
'Cause he thinks that's where I'll be, that's why I love mankind
I recoil in horror from the foulness of thee
From the squalor and the filth and the misery
How we laugh up here in heaven
At the prayers you offer me, that's why I love mankind
The Christians and the Jews were having a jamboree
The Buddhists and the Hindus joined on satellite TV
Picked their four greatest priests
And they began to speak
They said, "Lord, a plague is on the world
Lord, no man is free
The temples that we built to you
Have tumbled into the sea"
Lord, if you won't take care of us
Won't you please, please let us be?
And the Lord said, and the Lord said
I burn down your cities, how blind you must be
I take from you your children and you say how blessed are we
You must all be crazy to put your faith in me
That's why I love mankind, you really need me
Oh, Holy Night
The stars
Are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear
Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin
And error pining
'Til He appeared
And the soul felt
It's worth a thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new
And glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh, night divine
Oh night
Oh, Holy night
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh, night divine
Oh, night

Very timid when you know it's all wrong
You don't want it to be long
I tell you the best way to keep it out of the wind
Trust in no one, not even your closest friend
But if your teeth will bite your tongue
Can't you see where it's coming from?
When you do your thing
Don't let other people peep in your hand
It ain't always what you do
It's who you let see you do it
It ain't always what you do
It's who you let see you do it
All my life I've been taught
That you ain't wrong until you get caught
There's an old saying
And I believe that it's true
You shouldn't let your right hand now
What your left hand is going to do
But if your teeth will bite your tongue
Can't you see where it's coming from?
When you do your thing
Don't let other people peep your hand
It ain't always what you do
It's who you let see you do it
It ain't always what you do
It's who you let see you do it
Ain't that right, ain't that right?
Ain't that right, ain't that right?
But if your teeth will bite your tongue
Can't you see where it's coming from?
When you do your thing
Don't let other people peep your hand
Peep your hand
It ain't always what you do
It's who you let see you do it
It ain't always what you do
It's who you let see you do it
Ain't that right, ain't that right?
Ain't that right, ain't that right?
Ain't that right, ain't that right?
This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't, it wouldn't be nothing
Nothing without a woman or a girl
You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry the heavy load
Man makes the electric lights to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water like Noah made the ark
This is a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Without a woman, a woman or a girl
Now listen
Man thinks about little bitty baby girls and baby boys
Man makes them happy 'cause man, he makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man
But this is a man, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
I said, "He's lost, lost in the world of a man, oh yeah"
And he's lost, lost in bitterness
This is a man, this is a man's world, oh yeah
This is a man's world
This is a man, man, a man's world
Oh, but it would be nothing without a woman or girl
I said it would be, it would be nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Without a woman, nothing without a woman or a girl
This is a man's world, this is a man's, this is a man's world
I know, you know it this is a man`s world
This is a man's, a man's world
But it would be nothing, nothing without a woman or girl
Without a woman or girl

If you believe in a better world, a destiny
A-turnin' back the hands of time
Baby if our love was meant to be
Oh we'll get together further on down the line
But for now it's a cryin' shame, shame
But for now it's a cryin' shame, yeah
[James]
Yeah, you said you didn't wanna be smackin' on nobody else
If you wasn't kissin' me
But you, you, you, you

Cry, cryin' shame, cry cry cry cry cry
I got a feeling called the blues, oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
Oh Lord, I don't know what I'd do
All I knew is sit and sigh
The last long day, he said goodbye
Oh Lord, I thought I would cry
He'll do me, he'll do you
He got the kind of loving, Lord
I love to hear him when he call me
Sweet ma ma, mama
Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it's all over
I lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to, to you somehow
Woah, I'm nobody's, well, sugar mama now
And I'm lonesome
Oh, I got those lovesick blues
Well, I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful guy
That's what's the matter with me
Well, I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful guy
But he don't care about me
Lord, I tried and I tried to keep him satisfied
Oh, he just wouldn't stay
So now that he's leaving
This is all I can say, hey, yeah
I got the feeling called the blues
I got the feeling called the blues, oh Lord
Hate to think it's all over, over

I want to be loved, I want to be loved
I want to be loved, I need to be loved
I want to be loved with inspiration
I want to be loved starting tonight
Instead of merely holding conversation
Oh, hold me tight
I want to be loved, I crave affection
Those kisses of your's I gladly share
I want your eyes to shine in my direction
Oh, make me care
I want a can't of romance
That should be strong and equally as tender
I only asked for the chance to know the meaning
The word surrender, surrender, come on, surrender
I want to be thrilled by only you, dear
I want to be thrilled by your caress
I want to find each dream of mine come true, dear
I want to be loved
I want the can't of romance
That should be strong and equally as tender
I only asked for the chance to know the meaning
Come on, come on, surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender
I want to be thrilled by only you, dear
I want to be thrilled by your caress
I want to find each dream of mine come true, dear
Oh, I want to be loved, oh, I want to be loved
If the Sun goes behind the clouds
And you feel it's gonna rain
And if the moon ain't shinin bright
And the Stars, the Stars
Won't shine for you tonight
If your life is hard to understand
And your lovelife is out of hand
Oh, Come To Mama

How could she let a man as good as you
Slip through her fingers?
But then she didn't know
I was here standing in line
I would have never ever treated you bad
If I had met her
Because all my life, all my life
I've been the loving kind
Oh baby, why don't you spend
An evening of love with me?
And if we should fall in love
Ain't it just what we both need?
An evening of love to remember
I'm just as lonely as you are
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
I hope tomorrow, you'll wake up and find
You don't need her
And as long as I'm around
You never will
'Cause I wanna hold you as close to my heart
As my body will let me
And oh I know and I know the way
That you feel
Oh baby, why don't you spend
An evening of love with me?
And if we should fall in love
Ain't it just what we both need, hey, hey
An evening of love to remember
I'm just as lonely as you are
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Oh baby, why don't you spend
An evening of love with me?
And if we should fall in love
Ain't it just what we both need?
Oh baby, why don't you spend
An evening of love with me?
If we should fall in love
Ain't it just what we both need?
Baby, why don't you spend
An evening of love with me?
If we should fall in love
The sky is cryin. Can't you see the tears roll down the
street
The sky is cryin. Can't you see the tears roll down the
street
I've been looking for my baby
And I wonder where can she be
I saw my baby early one morning. She was walking on down
the street
I saw my baby early this morning. She was walking on down
the street
You know it hurt me, hurt me so bad
Made my poor heart skip a beat
[guitar solo x2]
I've got a real real real real bad feelin that my baby
she don't love me no more
I've got a real real bad feelin that my baby don't love
me no more
You know the sky, the sky's been cryin
It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day
The radio
And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but
Our love is here to stay
The radio
And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but
Our love is here to
Our love is here to
Looking back over my life
I can see where I have caused you strife
But I know, oh yes, I know
I'd never make that same mistake again
Looking back over my deeds
I can see signs a wise man heeds
And if I just had the chance
I'd never make that same mistake again
Once my cup was overflowing
But I gave nothing in return
Now I can't begin to tell you
What a lesson I have learned
Looking back over the slate
I can see love turn to hate
But I know, oh yes, I know
I'd never make that same mistake again
Once my cup was overflowing
But I gave nothing in return
Now I can't begin to tell you
Oh, what a lesson I have learned
Looking back over the slate
I can see love turn to hate
But I know, oh yes, I know
I heard church bells ring
I heard a choir singing
I saw my love walk down the aisle
on her finger he placed a ring
Oooh oh
I saw them holding hands
She was standing there with my man
I heard them promise
Til death do us part
These words
Was a pain
In my heart
All i could do was cry
All i could do was cry
I was losing the man that i love
and all i could do was cry
And now the wedding is over
The rice, rice has been thrown over their heads
For them life has just begun
but mine is ending
All i could do was cry
All i could do was cry
I was losing the man that i love
I wouldn't count the times we talked about tomorrow
And I wouldn't sing the lines if some one played our song
On lonely nights like this when I need a friend
You'd be the last one I'd call
Oh if I had any pride left at all
I would keep a place just to set your picture
Reach out to touch your face and feel you in my arms
And I wouldn't be here now parked outside your house
Not ashamed to crawl oh if I had any pride left at all
And only a fool would still be wearing this ring
Ringing your front doorbell
And I wouldn't let my heart stay wrapped around your
finger
And I wouldn't fall apart when you open the door
Like all the other times when your eyes met mine
These teardrops wouldn't fall
Oh if I had any pride left at all
Why do I just wither and forget all resistance
When you and your magic pass by
My hearts in a dither dear
When youre at a distance
But when you are near, oh my...
Its not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me,
Oh no
Its just the nearness of you
It isnt your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation,
Oh no
Its just the nearness of you
When youre in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams
Came true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If youll only grant me
The right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
Fire

When you wake up in the morning and you wonder
Why no one's beside you where I usually lay
And you think you hear the sound of a distant thunder
It's just your old rock rolling away
I was your rock standing strong for you
There was nothing I wouldn't do
No matter the cost I was ready to pay
Now you say I'm only holding you down
Like some old rock you've been dragging around
Yes I'm your rock but i'm rolling away
I'm rolling away on a downhill grade
But I'm coming to rest side a mountain of love some day
Cause I finally understand if you're resting on shifting
sands
Even a rock goes rolling away
And I was your rock standing strong for you
There was nothing I wouldn't do
No matter the cost I was ready to pay
oh Now you say I'm only holding you down
Like some old rock you've been dragging around
Yes i'm your rock and I'm rolling away
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you
Just one look at you

You and you alone

Dream when you're feeling blue
Dream that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air
And I know you'll find your child memories there
So dream when the day is through
Oh, dream and they might come true
And things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream
Dream when you're feeling blue
And ooh, dream, that's the thing to do
And just watch the smoke rings rise in the air

So come on and dream, dream, oh, dream

Gone my lovers dream
Lovely summer dream
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned
Left my heart a-breaking, and making a moan
Murmur to the night to hide its starry light
So none will see me sighing and crying all alone
Weeping willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me
Oh, Weeping willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
Just friends, lovers no more
Just friends but not like before
To think of what we've been
Not to love again seems like pretending
This isn't the ending
True friends, drifting apart
Two friends, but one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried
Then suddenly love died
The story ends and we're just friends
To think of all we've been
Not to love again seems like pretending
This can't be the ending
True friends, drifting apart
Two friends, but one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried
Then suddenly love died
Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I Love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday
Maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday
Will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'd never roam
Who would, would you?
And so all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday
Maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday
Will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'd never roam
Who would, would you?
And so all else above
You told me baby
Once upon a time
If I'd been yours
Little boy you'd be mine
But that's alright
I know you love another girl
But that's alright
Well sometimes I wonder
Who's loving you tonight
You told me baby
Your love for me was strong
When I woke up this morning
All your big words had gone
But that's alright
I know you love another girl
But that's alright
Sometimes I wonder
Who's loving you tonight
When I was loving you
You just couldn't understand
You've gone and left me here
Without a man
But that's alright
I know you love another girl
But that's alright
Sometimes I wonder
Who's loving you tonight
You told me baby
Once upon a time
If I'd been yours
Litte boy you'd be mine
But that's alright
I know you love another girl
But that's alright
Sometimes I wonder
Waiting for Charlie to come home
Bring me all the love I need
Waiting for Charlie to come home
Bring me his lips, his wild hungry arms
And all of the love that I need
I said a lot of things to him I didn't mean to say
Instead of holding him close to me I drove him far away
Here am I the fool who let happiness walk out the door, no
And I don't really believe that he wants to come back to me anymore
And I'm waiting for Charlie to come home
And bring me all the love I need
Waiting for Charlie to come home
Bring me his lips, his wild hungry arms
Talkin' about you a man always ready to go
Now when it comes to movin', babe you're awful slow
And holler oh oh oh oh woah
And holler oh oh oh oh woah
I'm a w-o-m-a-n, a woman, a woman
You ain't got nothing in your pockets to keep me alive
But I got something for all you men to make you cry
And holler oh oh oh oh woah
And holler oh oh oh oh woah
I'm a w-o-m-a-n, a woman, a woman
Well Davey Crokett king of the wild frontier
I'll tame him down the hell (?) he was in
Jesse James, baddest man in the land
You shoulda saw me when I had him eatin', out of my hand
Now Billy Joe the woman in red got him
Now that should teach ya about a w-o-m-a-n
And holler oh oh oh oh woah
And holler oh oh oh oh woah
I'm a w-o-m-a-n, a woman, a woman, woman, woman, woman,
You've changed
The sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart
You've changed
You've changed
Your kisses are so blase
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand
You've changed
You've forgotten the words, 'I love you'
Each memory that we've shared
You've ignored every star up above you
I can't realize you ever cared
Oh, you've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
Oh, no need to tell me that we're through, babe
It is all over now
You've changed
Oh baby, you've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
Oh, no need to tell me that we're through, babe
It is all over now
You've changed
You go to my head
And you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought
That you might give a thought to my plea
Casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself "Get a hold of yourself"
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head
With a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You don't know, you don't know
You don't know what love is
You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've lost a love, you had to lose
You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is
Do you know how a lost heart fears
They lose their taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
Oh, you don't know what love is
Oh, you don't know, you don't know love is
Oh, you don't know
Do you know how a lost heart fears
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips that taste os tears
They lose their taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
Oh no, you don't know what love is
You don't know what love is
You don't know, you don't know what love is
Oh, you don't know, oh you don't know
You don't know, you don't know what love is
Oh, you don't know, oh you don't know
Oh, you don't know, I say you don't know
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in the winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walking in the winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build the snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
I met this guy who kept bragging about how his
lovemaking was goin to blow my mind
Well after the lovemaking I said:
I don't mean to embarrass you but listen...
Your love is like tryin to light a fire with a wet
match
you won't even get a spark like that
Your love is like tryin to light a fire with a wet
match
you won't even get a spark like that
You said you could always
get a woman excited
every time she mentioned your name
Said they call you good lovin
good lovin daddy, uh uh
ooh-ooh you sexy thing
I needed a lil lovin
couldn't wait to get you in the sack
I was so disappointed
I don't want you to ever come back
Hey!
Your love is like tryin to light a fire with a wet
match
you won't even get a spark like that
Your love is like tryin to light a fire with a wet
match
you won't even get a spark like that
You know the man was so embarrassed
that he didn't even show his face around here for a
long time
hehe
Do you blame him?
Ladies beware, of those fast talkin men
They just ain't ready when you wanna have a lil fun.
Braggin bout how you'll sweep me off my feet
Couldn't even make me put a wrinkle in my sheets
Your love is like tryin to light a fire with a wet
match
you won't even get a spark like that
Your love is like tryin to light a fire with a wet
match
you won't even get a spark like that
Tough Mary, Tough Mary... (Yeah, that’s me...)
Tough Mary is tough
The boys would come from miles around, with presents
every day;
But when they’d call on Mary, this is what she’d say:
Don’t bring me poses, when it’s shoes I need;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
Don’t bring me flowers; don’t bring me the sea...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough)
Just bring me diamonds, that’ll suit me fine;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
And I’ll love you forever, and you’ll be mine...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough!)
Well, Mary, she's a very pretty girl; I guess she was
born that way;
But whenever they would tell her that, this is what
she’d say:
Don’t bring me poses, when it’s shoes I need;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
Don’t bring me flowers; don’t bring me the sea...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough)
Come on and bring me some diamonds, that’ll suit me
fine;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
And I’ll love you forever, and you’ll be mine...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough!)
Tough Mary...
Tough Mary...
Tough Mary...
Don’t bring me poses, when it’s shoes I need;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
Don’t bring me flowers; don’t bring me the sea...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough)
Come on and bring me some diamonds, that’ll suit me
fine;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
And I’ll love you forever, and you’ll be mine...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough!)
Oh, I’m tough;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
Little girls, little boys
Dream of words, lots of toys
This time of the year
When Christmas is near
Evergreens are snowy white
Sleigh bells ring through the night
This time of the year
When Christmas is near
Somewhere near a steeple
People kneel and pray
And choirs sing carols of Christmas day
Santa Claus, oh, is on his way
Loads of joy in on his sleigh
This time of the year
Yeah, when Christmas is near
Somewhere near a steeple
People, they kneel and pray
Oh, when choirs sing
Oh, they sing carols of Christmas day
Oh, and Santa Claus, oh, is on his way
Loads of joy on his sleigh, yeah
This time of the year
Oh, when Christmas is near
Oh oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, this time of the year
And oh, when Christmas is near
