I've been waiting, such a long time
Looking out for you
But you're not here
What's another year
I've been waking such a long time
Reaching out for you
But you aren't near
What's another year
What's another year
For someone who's lost everything that he owned
What's another year
For someone who's getting used to bein' alone
I've been praying, such a long time
It's the only way to hide the fear
What's another year
What's another year
For someone who's lost everything that he owned
What's another year
For someone who's getting used to being alone
I've been crying such a long time
With such a lot of pain in every tear
What's another year
(For someone who's getting used to being alone)
What's another year
(For someone who's getting used to being alone)
What's another year
Lately I've been told
About the tears and the wounds that never heal
Tell me when a woman loves a man
Why is it so hard to understand
They say I'll love again someday
A true love will come my way the next time
But after you there'll be never be a next time
for me
They say that I'll find happiness in someone
else warm caress the next time
I'll soon forget your kiss
and heartaches such as this will
Just be ancient history
They say that I'm a fool to weep, that
I won't go on losing sleep_the next time
And someone else will mend the heart you've
broken_in two_
But how can I fall in love the next time
When I'm still so much in love_
with you
When I'm still so much in love_
My tears are fallin',
'Cause you've taken her away.
And though it really hurts me so,
There's somethin' that I've got to say...
Take good care of my baby,
Please don't ever make her blue,
Just tell her that you love her,
Make sure you're thinkin' of her,
In everything you say and do.
Take good care of my baby,
Now don't you ever make her cry,
Just let your love surround her,
Make a rainbow all around her,
Don't let her see cloudy sky.
Once upon a time,
That little girl was mine.
If I'd been true,
I know she never be with you.
Take good care of my baby,
Be just as kind as you can be.
And if you should discover.
That you don't really love her,
Just send my baby back home to me
And if you should discover.
That you don't really love her,
Just send my baby back home to me...
Take good care of my baby...
Take good care of my baby...
Take good care of my baby...
I only met you just a couple of days ago
I only met you and I want your lovin' so
Ginny-Come-Lately, sweet, sweet as can be-ee-ee-ee
You may have come lately but Ginny-Come-Lately
You're the one for me
I only had to see the sunlight in your hair
Your soft, soft silhouette to know I'd always care
Ginny-Come-Lately, sweet, sweet as can be-ee-ee-ee
You may have come lately but Ginny-Come-Lately
You're the one for me
(whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
You only had to smile a little smile
Do nothing more than look at me
You only had to smile and in a little while
I was dreamin' recklessly-ee-ee-ee
I only met you just a couple of days ago
And oh, my love for you has no more room to grow
Ginny-Come-Lately, my dream come true-ooh-ooh-ooh
You may have come lately but Ginny-Come-Lately
Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin Street,
A gentle Irishman mighty odd
He had a brogue both rich and sweet,
An' to rise in the world he carried a hod
You see he'd a sort of a tipplers way
but for the love for the liquor poor Tim was born
To help him on his way each day,
he'd a drop of the craythur every morn
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner
round the flure yer trotters shake
Bend an ear to the truth they tell ye,
we had lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
One morning Tim got rather full,
his head felt heavy which made him shake
Fell from a ladder and he broke his skull, and
they carried him home his corpse to wake
Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet,
and laid him out upon the bed
A bottle of whiskey at his feet
and a barrel of porter at his head
His friends assembled at the wake,
and Widow Finnegan called for lunch
First she brought in tay and cake,
then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch
Biddy O'Brien began to cry,
"Such a nice clean corpse, did you ever see,
Tim, auvreem! O, why did you die?",
"Will ye hould your gob?" said Paddy McGee
Then Maggie O'Connor took up the cry,
"O Biddy" says she "you're wrong, I'm sure"
Biddy gave her a belt in the gob
and sent her sprawling on the floor
Then the war did soon engage,
t'was woman to woman and man to man
Shillelagh law was all the rage
and a row and a ruction soon began
Mickey Maloney ducked his head
when a bucket of whiskey flew at him
It missed, and falling on the bed,
the liquor scattered over Tim
Now the spirits new life gave the corpse, my joy!
Tim jumped like a Trojan from the bed
Cryin will ye walup each girl and boy,
"Me And Mrs Jones" Lyrics
Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it go now
We meet everyday at the same cafe
6:30 and no one knows she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite song
Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it go now
We gotta be extra careful
That we don't build our hopes up too high
'Cause she's got her own obligations
And so do I
Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
Well, it's time for us to be leaving
And it hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
And now she'll go her way and I'll go mine
But tomorrow we'll meet at the same place, the same
time
Me and Mrs., Mrs., Mrs., Mrs. Jones
(Same place)
We both know that it's wrong
(Same time)
Everyday at the same cafe
(Same place)
We got a thing going on
You know it's wrong
How long have you have this feeling
Never see a brighter side
Always standing in the shadows
Rapped up tightly in your pride
How long have you need a healing
Some lost Island where you can hide
To many questions and no answers
So many rivers that you’ve cried
On the other side of midnight
Where only broken dreams come true
On the other side there’s daylight
And you know that I’ll be there waiting for you
How long must you keep believing
Love’s lost promises come true
Lay awake and count the reasons
Nothing never leads to you
Dark clouds rising on the heartland
Dreams keep slipping so far away
A helpless heart can never understand
Tomorrow is just another day
On the other side of midnight
Where only broken dreams come true
On the other side there’s daylight
And you know that I’ll be there waiting for you
Now beneath the smile that’s fading
You tell your self you say goodbye (You say goodbye)
Still the fire inside keeps burning on
Through the tears of one more lie
On the other side of midnight
Where only broken dreams come true
On the other side there’s daylight
And you know that I’ll be there waiting for you
On the other side of midnight
Where only broken dreams come true
On the other side there’s daylight
And you know that I’ll be there waiting for you
In Dublin's fair city, Where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she wheeled her wheel barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying cockles and mussels, alive alive O!
Chorus:
Alive alive O! Alive alive O!
Crying cockles and mussels, Alive alive O!
She was a fish monger, And sure 'twas no wonder,
For so were her father and mother before,
And they both wheeled their barrows,
Through the streets broad and narrow,
Crying cockles and mussels, alive alive O!
She died of a fever, And no one could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone,
Now her ghost wheels her barrow,
Through the streets broad and narrow,
Ooh, short and sweet
No sense in draggin' on past our needs
Let's don't keep it hangin' on
If the fire's out, we should both be gone
Some people are made for each other
Some people can love one another for life, how 'bout us
Some people can hold it together
Last through all kinds of weather, can we?
Now don't you get me wrong
(what ya sayin' to me baby...)
'Cause I'm not tryin' now to end it all
(let's start something new...)
It's just that I have seen
(what have you seen...?)
Too many lover's hearts lose their dreams
(we won't lose it...)
Some people are made for each other
Some people can love one another for life, how 'bout us
Some people can hold it together
Last through all kinds of weather, can we?
How 'bout us
How 'bout us, baby
How 'bout us
How 'bout us, baby
Aren't we gonna make it girl
Are we gonna drift and drift and drift together....
Some people are made for each other
Some people can love one another for life, how 'bout us
(how about us baby)
Some people can hold it together, ...last
(some people can hold it together)
How 'bout us
(some people)
Some people are made for each other
Some people can love one another for life, how 'bout us
(some people can love one another for life, how 'bout
us baby)
Some people can hold it together, ...last
(some people can hold it together)
How 'bout us
Don't don't close your heart to how you feel
Dream and don't be afraid the dream's not real
Close your eyes pretend it's just the two of us again
Make believe this moment's here to stay
Touch touch me the way you used to do
I know tonight could be all I'll have with you
From now on you'll be with someone else instead of me
So tonight let's build this memory for the last time
Hold me now don't cry don't say a word just
Hold me now and I will know though we're apart
We'll always be together forever in love
What do you say when words are not enough
Time time will be kind once we're apart and
Your tears tears will have no place in your heart I wish
I I could say how much I'll miss you, when you're gone
All my love for you will go on and on and
Hold me now don't cry don't say a word just
Hold me now and try to understand
That I hope at last you've found what you've been searching for
And though I won't be there anymore I will always love you
(Hold me now don't cry)
Don't say a word just hold me now and I will know though
We're apart we'll always be together forever in love
What do you say when words are not enough
You can reach me by railway, you can reach me by
trailway
You can reach me on an airplane, you can reach me with
your mind
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an
Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just- get here if you
You can reach me by sailboat, climb a tree and swing
rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down slow, into these arms of
mine
You can jump on a speedy colt, cross the border in a
blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here, just- get here if you
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, then surely you would be closer
I need you closer
(interlude, then repeat bridge)
You can windsurf into my life, take me up on a carpet
ride
You can make it in a big balloon, but you better make
it soon
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an
Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just- get here if you
I don't care, I dont care, I need you right here right
I need you right here, right now, right by my side
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I don't care how you get here, just- get here if you
I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no no, (it's because...)
I like to see you, but then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you, don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no, no, (it's because...)
(Be quiet, big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no, no, (it's because...)
Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time
Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time
I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
it's only tears we cry
it's only words that lie
if you're ever gonna leave me
better break my tonight
it's only tears we cry
when we know we have to say goodbye
if you're ever gonna leave me
better leave.... me tonight
stop!
you're gonna hurt me
if you try to stay
find a new love
it's better that way
stop!
looking at me
before it's too late
don't you know our sorrow
will be there tomorrow
love is not a game we can play:
it's only tears we cry
it's only words that lie
if you're ever gonna leave me
better break my heart tonight
it's only tears we cry
when we know we have to say goodbye
if you're ever gonna leave me
better leave me tonight
stop!
i don't believe you
i know you won't stay
find another
who needs you that way
stop!
chasing rainbows
before it's too late.
don't you know our sorrow
will be here tomorrow
love is not a game we can play:
If you ever need me I'll be there
I swear !!
it's only tears we cry
it's only words that lie
if you're ever gonna leave me
better break my heart tonight
it's only tears we cry
when we know we have to say goodbye
if you're ever gonna leave me
In London - she must bd in London.
In London - she must have gone to London.
Just two weeks of harmony.
Days we spent so easily.
In London - she must be in London.
Hurry me - we fell in love in London.
Our love alive
swept in its tide
That city wide - London.
No street too long
our love belonged
Along the lanes of London.
Those afternoons
back in our room
Making love until the moon rose over london.
She's now alone in London.
Where to start - now that I'm in London?
Standing here this rainy day
So alone and out of place without her.
she must be in London.
Our love alive
swept in its tide
Have faith in the one you love
have faith in the one you love.
They tell me that time is a healer
They say it all comes to those who wait.
But I've been waiting such a long time
Now I'm reaching for your shore
can't stay away no more.
You're my heartland
you' re my heartland
You're my heartland
don't let me be a stranger at your door.
Take a man afraid of falling
take me any way that yau can
Deep inside I hear you calling
Now I'm standing in the rain
come shelter me again!
You're my heartland - have faith in the one you love
You're my heartland - have faith in the one you love
You're my heartland - have faith in the one you love
Don't let me be a stranger at your door.
Sooner or later I'll lay by your side
Spread your wings now
darling
we can both fly.
Have faith in the one you love
have faith in the one you love
Have faith in the one you love -
don't let me be a stranger at your door.
You're my heartland - have faith in the one you love
As I was going over the Kilmagenny mountain
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was
counting.
I first produced my pistol, and then produced my
rapier.
Said stand and deliver, for you are a bold deceiver,
with your ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol
whack for the daddy 'ol
there's whiskey in the jar
I counted out his money, it made a pretty penny.
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny.
She swore that she loved me, that never would she leave
but the devil take that woman, for you know she tricked
me easy
ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol

It was early in the morning, before I rose to travel,
up came a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrel.
I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my
rapier,
and I couldn't shoot the captain so a prisoner I was
taken.
ring dumma do damma da

Now some men they like drinking and some men they like

And some men like to hear, the sound of the cannon ball

Me, I like sleeping specially in Jenny's chambers
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and
chain yeah

the fourth of July, 18 hundred and six
We set sail from the sweet cove of cork
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
For the grand city hall in new york,
'twas a wonderful craft.
She was rigged fore and aft
And oh, how the wild wind drove her
She stood several blasts
She had twenty seven masts
And they called her the irish rover
We had one million bags of the best sligo rags
We had two million barrels of stone.
We had three million sides of old blind horses hides
We had four million barrels of bones.
We had five million hogs,
And six million dogs,
Seven million barrels of porter,
We had eight million bails of old nanny-goats' tails
In the hold of the irish rover.
There was aul' mickey coote
Who played hard on his flute
And the ladies lined up for a set
He was tootin' with skill
For each sparkling quadrille
Though the dancers were flut'erd and bet
With his smart witty talk
He was cock of the walk
And he rolled the dames under and over
They all knew at a glance
When he took up his stance
That he sailed in the irish rover
There was Barney McGee
From the banks of the Lee
There was Hogan from County Tyrone
There was Jonny McGurk
Who was scared stiff of work
And a man from Westmeath called Malone
There was Slugger O'Toole
Who was drunk as a rule
And fighting Bill Tracy from dover
And your man, Mick MacCann
From the banks of the Bann-
Was the skipper of the Irish Rover
We had sailed seven years
When the measles broke out
And the ship lost its way in the fog
And that whale of a crew
Was reduced down to two
Just myself and the captain's old dog
Then the ship struck a rock
Oh lord! what a shock
The bulkhead was turned right over
Turned nine times around
And the poor old dog was drowned
Save this Christmas for me
I'm coming home over mountains and stormy sea
I've been away now for far to long
I'm coming back where I belong
Save this Christmas for me
I close my eyes and once more I see
Snow falling all around me
Landing softly on the ground
Making no sound
I hear bells ringing, laughter and joy
I see a smile on every young girl and boy
They know that soon he'll be coming around
Santa Claus is coming to town
And this year I'll be there for you
And never more to part
And this year I will share with you
The joy that's in my heart
Won't you save this Christmas for me
The open fire and the lights on the tree
The Christmas carols that we used to sing
The happiness that they'll bring
Won't you save this Christmas for me
I'm coming home over mountains and stormy sea
I've been away now for far to long
I'm coming back where I belong
Save this Christmas for me
You're my angel my guiding light
Someone who holds me all though the night
The soft touch of you warm embrace
The smile you wear upon you face
And this year I'll be there for you
And never more to part
And this year I will share with you
The joy that's in my heart
Save this Christmas for me
The open fire and the lights on the tree
The Christmas carols that we used to sing
The happiness that they'll bring
Won't you save this Christmas for me
I'm coming home over mountains and stormy sea
I've been away now for far to long
I'm coming back where I belong
Save this Christmas for me
Save it for me
Love hurts,
Love scars,
Love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud,
it holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, Ooo-oo
Love hurts I'm young,
I know,
But even so I know a thing or two -
I learned from you
I really learned a lot,
really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
It burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, Ooo-oo
Love hurts
Some fools think of happiness, blissfulness,
togetherness
Some fools fool themselves,
I guess They're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true
I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts, Ooo-oo
Love hurts Solo
I know it isn't true
I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts, Ooo-oo
The love was share today won't change our seperate ways
but things like that don't matter at the start.
Temptation's like the tide
can't wash the trurh aside
the end of an illusion's never far.
There's no questions
there's no answers
when we touch we take our chances
we're so sure no one can take our love away.
Lonely lovers
lonely lovers
we dream of love and hope there is a place
lonely lovers need no others
so we kept tryin' to hold on
we kept tryin' to drive the dark away.
The words we tried to say got drowned out by the rain
but passion's only language is the heart.
We ran
but couldn't hide
forbidden love must die
the end of an illusion leaves its mark
leaves its mark.
Lonely lovers
lonely lovers
we dream of love and hope there is a place
we dream of love and hope there is a place
lonely lovers need no others
so we kept tryin' to hold on
we kept tryin' to drive the dark away.
Lonely lovers
lonely lovers
we dream of love and hope there is a place
Lonely lovers
lonely lovers
we dream of love and hope there is a place
Lonely lovers
lonely lovers
we dream of love and hope there is a place
I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile and my heart
For times when my life feels so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know
Chorus:
I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I 'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Chorus
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
