ANOTHER TEAR FALLS
Now and then I see you passing by
And for a while I don't begin to cry
But just when I think I'm all cried out
Another tear falls, another tear falls
And then I know you are still here in my heart
You are still here in my broken heart
Every time I go with someone new
I tell myself I've gotten over you
But just when I think I'm all cried out
Another tear falls, another tear falls
And then I know you are still here in my heart
You are still here in my broken heart
SADDEST NIGHT IN THE WORLD
On the saddest night in the world, I lost my way, I lost a girl
And the rain came down in the streets, blinding the way, I wait for day
All night long I've been wondering how I'll carry on
Without you all the things that ever mattered all fell through
On the saddest night in the world, shop window girl smiled through the rain
And the wet, grey figure called me looks for the man he used to be
Out of love, you went running with your head held high
I said that it wouldn't matter, now I feel I wanna die
And the rain-drenched old lady selling flowers in the street
Knows you're gone
In my room, way at the end of the hall
I sit and stare at the wall
Thinking how lonesome I've grown
All alone in my room
In my room, where every night is the same
I play a dangerous game
I keep pretending she's late
And I sit, and I wait
Over there is the picture we took when I made her my bride
Over there is the chair where I held her whenever she cried
Over there by the window the flowers she left have all died
In my room, way at the end of the hall
I sit and stare at the wall
Thinking how lonely I've grown
All alone in my room
SATURDAY'S CHILD
Don't stop, don't turn around
It's just a lonely clown who keeps calling
But you've grown quite out of love with him
The city's endless nights
The in-crowd's gay young faces
Have been washed away by too many
Through the night and day
Saturday's child who used to say
That she could dance the world away
Saturday's child just hangs her head
And cries today
How could you be so blind
Just waking up to find
What a fool you were
Cause you let him break your heart
You turn, you break, you bend
You're left without a friend
When you seemed to have so many
At the start
Saturday's child who used to say
That she could dance the world away
Saturday's child just hangs her head
And cries today
Saturday's child who used to say
That she could dance the world away
Saturday's child just hangs her head
And cries today
Saturday's child who used to say
That she could dance the world away
Saturday's child just hangs her head
And cries today
Saturday's child who used to say
Saturday's child
JUST FOR A THRILL
Just for a thrill, you changed the sunshine to rain
And for a thrill, you filled my heart with pain
To me you were my pride and joy
But to you I was merely a toy
A plaything you could toss around at will
Just for a thrill, you made my life one sad song
Just for a thrill, you just led me along
Although you're free and having your fun
To me you're still the only one
Cause you made my heart stand still
Just for a thrill
Although you're free and having your fun
To me you're still the only one
Cause you made my heart stand still
Just for a thrill
Baby you made my heart stand still
Just for a thrill
No one in the world ever had a love as sweet as my love
Cause nowhere in the world could there be a girl as true as you girl
All my love I give gladly to you
All your love you give gladly to me
Tell me why then, oh why should it be
That we go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why
Closer than the leaves on a weeping willow baby, we are
And closer dear are we than the simple letters A and B are
All my life I could love only you
All your life you could love only me
Tell me why then, oh why should it be
That we go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why
Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart
Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart
OLD FOLKS
Everyone knows him as old folks
Like the seasons he'll come and he'll go
Just as free as a bird
And as good as his word
That's why everybody loves him so
Always leaving his spoon in his coffee
Tucks his napkin up under his chin
And that yellowed cow pie is so mellow it's ripe
But you needn't be ashamed of him
Every Friday he'll go fishing
Down on his favourite lake
But he only hooks a perch or two
The whale got away
It looks like we warm up the steak
Some day there'll be no more old folks
What a lonesome old town this will be
Children's voices at play will be still for a day
The day they take the old folks away
SUMMERTIME
Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Well, your daddy's rich
And your ma is good looking
So hush, little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
You're gonna spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But until that moment
There ain't nothing gonna harm you
With daddy and mammy standing by
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
And I know, you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
Oh yeah
Yeah, until that moment
There ain't nothing, no nothing's gonna harm you
With daddy and mammy standing by
Summertime
Summertime
Summertime
Summertime
PEOPLE GET READY
People get ready, there's a train a-coming
Don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
People get ready for the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board her
There's room for all among those loved the most
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would turn on his kind just to save his own
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there's no place to hide against the kingdom's throne
So people get ready, there's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
I CAN SEE IT NOW
Another dawn and still a tear hangs on
A sleepless night still didn't make things right
Maybe today our lonesome man
Is gonna find that dream again
He lost somehow
Oh I can see it now
She couldn't stay, you threw her love away
The lark has flown, but you still hear her song
That worn out wish is overdue
But how much time can you allow
To make it come true
I can see it now
She couldn't stay, you threw her love away
The lark has flown, but you still hear her song
That worn out wish is overdue
But how much time can you allow
To make it come true
I can see it now
Where's the girl
The canary stopped singing
The moment she walked out the door
Where's the girl
The flowers are dying
Cause nobody cares anymore
The canary and the poor, lonely flowers
Miss her so very much
You can tell, this apartment and I
Are in need of a woman's touch
On the floor there is one nylon stocking
And I'm leaving it there where it lies
Whoh, who'd have thought
That one nylon stocking
Could ever bring tears to these eyes
Where's the girl who used to fix me my coffee
And butter up my toast
Lord, how I miss the coffee taste of her kiss
But Lord, what I miss the most
Is the girl
Here's a dresser drawer that's filled with old hairpins
Lipstick, and Lord knows what
And here's a photograph taken last summer
And a bottle of perfume, but
Where's the girl
Where's the girl
Where's the girl
Oh, I need the girl
LIVING ABOVE YOUR HEAD
Seems so strange, you putting me through changes
I can't believe that you're the same sweet girl
That I once knew
And baby, the changes coming on
Don't look too good
Too good on you
It seems so strange, you putting me through changes
Baby, you started doing things you should not be doing
Living above your head, girl
Coming on way too strong
Living above your head, girl
Something has got to go wrong
Baby, don't think that I don't know
You're going out with other guys
And baby, though it hurts me so
You know that I'm so hypnotized
So let's not fight
Kill all the love inside of me
Baby, you started doing things you should not be doing
Living above your head, girl
Coming on way too strong
Living above your head, girl
Something has got to go wrong
Living above your head, girl
Coming on way too strong
Living above your head, girl
Something has got to go wrong
With our love
With our love
Living above your head
Living above your head
Living above your head
Living above your head
Living above your head
TAKE IT LIKE A MAN
Take it like a man, don't cry, don't cry
Take it like a man, hold your head up high
Sure she broke your heart when she said goodbye
But you, you gotta take it like a man
Get up on your feet, it's way past dawn
Get up on your feet, come on, come on
Everything's the same, except she's gone
But you, you gotta take it like a man
You're gonna be fine, just don't think about her
Sun's gonna shine, with or without her
It's only gonna hurt for just a little while
Go on, change your shirt, and put on a smile
Don't say that you can't, cause you can, you can
Come on buddy, take it like a man
Oh come on, come on, and take it like a man
Hold your head up high, man don't stand there and cry
You gotta be a man my friend
Do you understand, I believe you can
My, my friend
No sad songs for me
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over
I walk around imagining
The way you'll say goodbye
And when you try to tell me
I just hope that I won't cry
No sad songs for me
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over
The glow has gone forever
Our dreams have turned to dust
I don't know how I can go on
And yet I know I must
No sad songs for me
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over
It breaks my heart to feel this way
Although I try to smile
To think I'll be alone again
In just a little while
No sad songs for me
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over
It's all over
It's all over
DEADLIER THAN THE MALE
She whispers oh such pretty lies
Don't believe her
For when you look into her eyes
Love just isn't there
Brother beware
Take care, my brother, take care
For the female of the species is deadlier than the male
The smile that made a dream begin
Clouds your vision
It's just the shadow of a dream
That you're living in
She never cared
Beware, my brother, beware
For the female of the species is deadlier than the male
Memories of kisses on a summer's day
That's all she left you when she went away
Now you pay
By walking streets you'll never know
When the night comes
Sitting in places that you go
Hoping she'll be there
Brother beware
Take care, my brother, take care
For the female of the species is deadlier than the male
ARCHANGEL
Silence, to hear once more
Her footsteps down the shadowed corridor
Frightened, you're overdue
The darkest day goes on until it's blessed by you
Archangel rides in on the moon
Just to save me from this tomb
I'll cry the tears of time all day
Till she wipes them all away
Outside my window, on silver trumpets, children play
I stand here watching the dying of an ageless day
Dismiss young couples who go home to their knowing beds
And watch the rooftops, where silent shadows slowly tread
Sleeping their dreamless sleep
They'll never know the secrets this room keeps
They'll wake when I'm born again
The rent's been paid, so hurry, carry me away
Archangel rides in on the moon
Just to save me from this tomb
I'll cry the tears of time all day
Till she wipes them all away
SUNNY
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really you eased the pain
All the dark days are gone, and the bright days are here
My sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true, I love you
Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet
Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
Now I feel ten feet tall
Sunny one so true, I love you
Sunny, thank you for the truth you've let me see
Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to Z
My life was torn like the wind-blown sand
Then a rock was formed when you held my hand
Sunny one so true, I love you
Sunny, thank you for that smile upon your face
Sunny, thank you for that gleam that flows with grace
You're my spark of a nature's fire
You're my sweet, complete desire
Sunny one so true, I love you
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
All the dark days are gone, the bright days are here
My sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true, I love you
Sunny one so true, I love you
COME RAIN OR COME SHINE
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me it was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me, cause I'm gonna be true
Mmmm, if you let me
You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
THE GENTLE RAIN
We both are lost and alone in the world
Walk with me in the gentle rain
Don't be afraid, I've a hand for your hand
And I will be your world for a while
I feel your tears as they roll down your face
They are warm like the gentle rain
Come little one, you've got me in the world
And our love will be sweet, very sad, very sweet
Like the gentle rain
Like the gentle rain
Like the gentle rain
MRS MURPHY
"Hello Mrs Murphy, that's a lovely dress you're wearing, is it new?"
"Why thank you Mr Wilson, but I've had this same old dress about a year or two"
Upstairs in bed the tall boy stretched just like a cat
Put his hand behind his head and lay there thinking of a dream that he had
"I hear that the Johnson's had a baby, Mrs Murphy, is that true?"
"Why yes, but it's rumoured that the little tot's real daddy lives in twenty two"
In twenty two the boy lay whistling out of tune
Riding on to see, dreaming of a thousand things he'd like to be
"Poor Mr Johnson, being married to a wife who should be caged"
"It's the child who will suffer, and to think that that young man is less than half her age"
Upstairs he sits, he hears a knock and nothing more
"Come on in, you're late, well don't just stand there Mrs Johnson, close the door"
STAY WITH ME BABY
Where did you go when things went wrong, baby
Who did you run to, and find a shoulder to lay your head upon
Baby, wasn't I there, didn't I take good care of you
No, no, I can't believe you'd really leave
Stay with me baby
Stay with me baby
Stay with me baby
I can't go on, no, no, no
Who did you touch when you needed tenderness
I gave you so much and in return I found happiness
Baby, what did I do, maybe I was too good, just too good for you
No, no, I can't believe you'd really leave
Stay with me baby
Stay with me baby
Stay with me baby
Remember, you said you'd always gonna need me
Remember, you said you'd never ever leave me
Remember, remember, I'm asking you, begging you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, please
Stay with me baby
Stay with me baby
Stay with me baby
I can't go on, no, no, no
Stay with me, stay with me baby
Stay with me, stay with me baby
Stay with me, stay with me baby
Stay with me, stay with me baby
TURN OUT THE MOON(ALTERNATIVE VERSION)
When there's no place you can turn to
And your pride is a burden you bear
A beginning with no ending
Time is dying, and nobody cares
Nobody dares
Turn out the moon and the stars in the sky
For it's ended too soon
I'm through living a life without you
Happy people in black steeples
Make me need you a little bit more
Starless mornings find me older
Waiting for you to walk through the door
Just like before
Turn out the moon and the stars in the sky
For it's ended too soon
I'm through living a life without you
The torch is dying, I've carried it for too long, baby
I'll tear you from me, any way I have to, baby
Turn out the moon and the stars in the sky
For it's ended too soon
I'm through living a life without you
(Turn out the moon, and the stars in the sky)
Gotta turn out the moon
(Turn out the moon, and the stars in the sky)
Babe, I tell ya baby, it's ended, ended way too soon
(Turn out the moon and the stars in the sky)
Gotta turn out the moon
(Turn out the moon and the stars in the sky)
Baby, baby, baby, it's ended too soon
I want her, and I need her, and someday, some way, whoh, whoh, oh, I'll meet her
She'll be kind of shy, and real good-looking too
And I'll be certain she's the one by the things she likes to do
Like walking in the rain
(Like walking in the rain)
And wishing on the stars up above
(And wishing on the stars)
And being so in love
When she's near me I'll kiss her
And when she leaves me, whoh, whoh, oh, I'm gonna miss her
Though sometimes we'll fight, but I won't really care
Cause I know it's gonna be all right
Cause we've got so much, so much we share
Like walking in the rain
(Like walking in the rain)
And wishing on the stars up above
(And wishing on the stars)
And being so in love
(Mandy)
She'll never do
(Bonnie)
No, it isn't her too, they would never
No they'd never, ever, ever know
Walking in the rain
(Like walking in the rain)
And wishing on the stars up above
And being so in love
Whoh, whoh, whoh, whoh
I really need her, whoh, whoh, whoh
Someday I'll find her, whoh, whoh, whoh
BABY MAKE IT THE LAST TIME
Baby make it the last time, don't walk out on me
Baby make it the last time you let me down, you know I need you
Each time you go and leave me here crying
You walk on my dreams and time holds me dying
Baby make it the last time, don't walk out on me
Baby make it the last time you let me down, you know I need you
What would I be in a world without you close to me
I couldn't go on, you're still so much a part of me
Baby make it the last time, don't walk out on me
Baby make it the last time you let me down, you know I need you
Tomorrow is another day, I'll be a new man
I'll be the man you need today, can't you understand, can't you understand
Don't turn away, I'm begging you, you gotta stay
These eyes full of tears, won't help me through the love-lost years
Baby make it the last time, don't walk out on me
Baby make it the last time you let me down, you know I need you
Baby make it the last time, don't walk out on me
Baby make it the last time you let me down, you know I need you
Baby make it the last time
Perhaps another time, perhaps another place, could have eased my mind
I would never seen your face or heard about you
But now I call my name in your reality
Though it's hard to explain, I'll never be without you
I know nothing about you
But I know I don't doubt your love, and I know that it's real
By God above, I know how I feel about you
Got a hand full of gold and a pocketful of dreams
And a heart full of love, and I know what it means to be without you
Come sit by my side and share with me
All the feelings inside and the things you see about you
I know nothing about you
But I know I don't doubt your love, and I know that it's real
By God above, I know how I feel about you
I know nothing about you
But I know I don't doubt your love, and I know that it's real
By God above, I know how I feel about you
