1. LOVE SONG

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

2. FIRST LOVE


So little to say but so much time,
Despite my empty mouth the words are in my mind.
Please wear the face, the one where you smile,
Because you lighten up my heart when I start to cry.

Forgive me first love, but I'm tired.
I need to get away to feel again.
Try to understand why, don't get so close to change my mind.
Please wipe that look out of your eyes, it's bribing me to doubt myself;
Simply, it's tiring.

This love has dried up and stayed behind,

And if I stay I'll be alive,
Then choke on words I'd always hide.
Excuse me first love, but we're through.
I need to taste the kiss from someone knew.

Forgive me first love, but I'm too tired.
I'm bored to say the least and I, I lack desire.
Forgive me first love,
Forgive me first love,
Forgive me first love,
Forgive me first love,
Forgive me,
Forgive me first love,
Forgive me first love

3. MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE

[Songwriters: Dylan, Bob;]



When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

To make you feel my love

VIDEO



4. DON'T YOU REMEMBER


When will I see you again
You left with no goodbye
Not a single a word was said
No final kiss to seal any sins
I had no idea of the state we were in

I know I have a fickle heart
And a bitterness and a wandering eye and a heaviness in my head

[chorus]
But don't you remember
Don't you remember
The reason you loved me before
Baby, please remember me once more

When was the last time
You thought of me
Oh have you completely erased me from your memory
I often think about where I went wrong
The more I do the less I know I know I have a fickle heart

And a bitterness and a wandering eye and a heaviness in my head

[chorus]
But don't you remember
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby, please remember me once more

Gave you the space so you could breathe,
I kept my distance so you would be free,
And hope that you find the missing piece,
To bring you back to me,

[chorus]
Why don't you remember?
Don't your remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby, please remember me once more

When will I see you again

5. ONE AND ONLY



You've been on my mind
I grow fonder every day
Lose myself in time
Just thinking of your face

God only knows
Why it's taken me so long
To let my doubts go
You're the only one that I want

I don't know why I'm scared
I've been here before
Every feeling, every word
I've imagined it all
You'll never know, if you never try
To forgive your past, and simply be mine

I dare you to let me be, your
Your one and only
Promise I'm worth it
To hold in your arms
So come on
And give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
Until the end starts

If I've been on your mind
You hang on every word I say
Lose yourself in time
At the mention of my name

Will I ever know
How it feels to hold you close
And have you tell me
Whichever road I choose you'll go

I don't know why I'm scared
Cos I've been here before
Every feeling every word
I've imagined it all

You'll never know
If you never try
To forgive your past
And simply be mine

I dare you to let me be your
Your one and only
I promise I'm worth it
To hold in your arms
So come on
And give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
Until the end starts

I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart
I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart (nobody's perfect)
I know it ain't easy (trust me I've learned it)
Giving up your heart (nobody's perfect)
I know it ain't easy (trust me I've learned it)
Giving up your heart (nobody's perfect)
I know it ain't easy (trust me I've learned it)
Giving up your heart (nobody's perfect)
I know it ain't easy (trust me I've learned it)
Giving up your heart

So I dare you to let me be your
Your one and only
I promise I'm worth it
To hold in your arms
So come on
And give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
Until the end starts
Come on
And give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
Until the end starts

6. HIDING MY HEART


[Brandi Carlile cover]

This is how the story went
I met someone by accident
It blew me away
It blew me away

It was in the darkest of my days
When you took my sorrow and you took my pain
And buried them away, you buried them away

I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away

Drop me off at the train station
Put a kiss on top of my head
Watch me wave
You watched me wave

Then you went on home to your skyscrapers
Neon lights and waiting papers
That you call home
You call it home

I wish I could lay down beside you

When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away

I woke up feeling heavy hearted
I'm going back to where I started
The morning rain, the morning rain
Although I wish that you were here
That same old road that brought me here
Is calling me home, It's calling me home

I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away
And I can spend my whole life hiding my heart away

VIDEO



7. MELT MY HEART TO STONE


Right under my feet there's air made of bricks
Pulls me down turns me weak for you
I find myself repeating like a broken tune
And I'm forever excusing your intentions
And I give in to my pretendings
Which forgive you each time
Without me knowing
They melt my heart to stone

And I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love

Each and every time I turn around to leave
I feel my heart begin to burst and bleed
So desperately I try to link it with my head
But instead I fall back to my knees
As you tear your way right through me
I forgive you once again
Without me knowing
You've burnt my heart to stone

And I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love

Why do you steal my hand
Whenever I'm standing my own ground
You build me up, then leave me dead

Well I hear your words you made up
So I say your name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love

8. LAST NITE


Last night she said
Oh, baby
I feel so down
Oh, and turned me off
When I feel left out
So I
I turned around
Oh, baby
I don't care no more
I know this for sure
I'm walking
Out that door

Well, I've been in town
For just about fifteen
Whole minutes now
Oh, baby, I feel so down
And I don't know why
I keep walking for miles

But the people
They don't understand
No, girlfriends
They can't understand
Your grandsons
They won't understand
On top of this
I ain't ever
Gonna understand

Last night she said
Oh, baby

Don't feel so down
Oh, and turned me off
When I feel left out
So I, I turned around
Oh, baby
I'm gonna be alright
It was a great big lie
Cuz I left that night
Yeah

Oh, people
They don't understand
No, girlfriends
They don't understand
In spaceships
They won't understand
And me
I ain't ever
Gonna understand

Last night she said
Oh, baby
I feel so down
She had turned me off
When I feel left out
So I
I turned around
Oh, little girl
I don't care no more
I know this for sure
I'm walking
Out that door, yeah

9. DAY DREAMER

Daydreamer
Sitting on the seat, soaking up the sun
He is a real lover
Of making up the past and feeling up his girl
Like he's never felt her figure before

A jaw dropper
Looks good when he walks, he is the subject of their talk
He would be hard to chase
But good to catch, and he could change the world
With his hands behind his back, oh

You can find him sitting on your doorstep
Waiting for a surprise
And he will feel like he's been there for hours
And you can tell that he'll be there for life

Daydreamer

With eyes that make you melt, he lends his coat for shelter
Plus he's there for you when he shouldn't be
But he stays all the same, waits for you
Then sees you through

There's no way I could describe him
What I said is just what I'm hoping for

But I will find him sitting on my doorstep
Waiting for a surprise
And he will feel like he's been there for hours
And I can tell that he'll be there for life
And I can tell that he'll be there for life

VIDEO


10. BEST FOR LAST


[Songwriters: Adkins, Adele;]

Wait, do you see my heart on my sleeve?
It's been there for days on end
And it's been waitin' for you to open up
Just you baby, come on now, I'm trying to tell you just how
I like to hear the words roll out of your mouth finally
Say that it's always been me

That's made you feel a way you've never felt before
And I'm all you need and that you never want more
Then you'd say all of the right things without a clue
But you'd save the best for last like I'm the one for you

You should know that you're just a temporary fix
This is not rooted with you, it don't mean that much to me
You're just a filler in the space that happened to be free
How dare you think you'd get away with tryin' to play me

Why is it every time I think I've tried my hardest
It turns out it ain't enough, you're still not mentionin' love?
What am I supposed to do to make you want me properly?
I'm takin' these chances and gettin' nowhere
And though I'm trying my hardest you back to her
And I think that I know things may never change

I'm still hopin' one day I might hear you say

I make you feel a way you've never felt before
And I'm all you need and that you never want more
Then you'd say all of the right things without a clue
But you'd save the best for last like I'm the one for you

You should know that you're just a temporary fix
This is not rooted with you it don't mean that much to me
You're just a filler in the space that happened to be free
How dare you think you'd get away with trying to play me

But, despite the truth that I know
I find it hard to let go and give up on you
Seems I love the things you do
Like the meaner you treat me the more eager I am
To persist with this heartbreak runnin' around
And I will do until I find myself with you

And make you feel a way you've never felt before
And be all you need so that you never want more
Then you'd say all of the right things without a clue
And you'll be the one for me and me the one for you

1. ALL I WANT IS YOU



(Carly SImon/Jacob Brackman/Andy Goldmark)

What do the neighbours say
When they hear us scream at night
Do they talk about a love
All in tatters
What do the neighbours know
About the heart and soul
The fire down below
That really matters
They can never guess
In the silences
That all I want is you
And the sexy hurricane
We got here
All I want is you
I don't want a man
To say "good morning dear"
Let 'em listen at the door

Let 'em listen through the floor
Let 'em go ahead and draw the wrong conclusion
So chase me 'round the room
Make me crazy like the moon
They can never guess
In the silences
That all I want is you
And the sexy hurricane that we share
All I want is you
I don't want a man
Who tiptoes up the stairs
All I want is you
And the freight train
Whistling over my track
All I want is you
And your Mack truck loving
Jumping me Jack!
Oh, Jack!

2. LOVE OF MY LIFE


I love lilacs and avocados
Ukuleles and fireworks
And Woody Allen and walking in the snow
But you've got to know that

You're the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
>From the moment I first saw you
The second that you were born
I knew that you were the love of my life
Quite simply the love of my life

I love Lucy and pumpernickel bread
The Statue Of Liberty and standing ovations
And falling into bed
But get it through your head that

You're the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life

You are the love of my life
From the moment I first saw you
The second that you were born
I knew that you were the love of my life
Quite simply the love of my life

You an drive me crazy
You can drive me anywhere
Here are the keys
Just do as you please
It may not always be easy

But you're the love of my life
My heart is riding on a runaway train
You are the love of my life
through all the pleasure and pain
From the moment I first saw you
I knew it right away
I knew that you were the love of my life
Simply the love of my life
You are the love
The great love of my life.

3. LOST IN YOUR LOVE


I’m lost in your love
Lost in my love for you
Everything that you say
Everything that you do
I’m lost in your love

I can find me a night
So lovely it might even change me
I can find me the place where mornings come from
But I’m lost when it comes to you

I’m lost in your love
So lost in my love for you

And I can’t see your face
‘Cause I’m tumbling through space
I’m lost in your love

Find me
Take me
Hold me
I can’t let you go free
‘Til you lose your love in me

I’m lost in your love
Lost in my love for you
Everything that you say
Everything that you do
I’m lost in your love

VIDEO WHY



4. YOU BELONG TO ME


(Carly Simon/Michael McDonald)

Why'd you tell me this
Were you looking for my reaction
What do you need to know
Don't you know I'll always be your girl
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own

(Chorus)
You belong to me
Tell her you were fooling
You don't even know her
Tell her that I love you

You belong to me
Can it be, honey, that you're not sure
Thought we'd closed the book - locked the door
You don't have to prove to me that you're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own
And I can tell - I can tell darling
Tell her - tell her that I love you

You belong - you belong - you belong to me
Tell her you were fooling
Tell her she don't even know you
Tell her you were fooling
I know you from a long time ago, baby
Don't leave me to go to her now
You belong to me.

5. ARE YOU TICKLISH


Are you ticklish
Or did I just hit a funny bone
Are you ticklish
Are we really alone?

Do you like me
Or am I just hoping for too much
Do you like me
Do you like to touch
Do you like me

I hear there's another side to you
Well there's another side to me too
Let's get over to the other side
Real soon

I hear there's an underneath to you
Well there's an underneath to me too
Let's get down underneath
Real soon

Are you lonesome
Well everybody's lonesome
So it's safe to assume you're lonesome
But are you ticklish
Are you ticklish


VIDEO



6. LOVE YOU BY HEART

[Carly Simon/Libby Titus/Jacob Brackman)

The lies that you tell will leave you alone
They'll keep you down,
they'll catch you and trip you up
Keep you hangin' around

The habit is old - you don't need it anymore
Go on and kiss it goodbye
'Cause you got me, and I can see
Who you really are
I want to show you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

I'm right here beside you
there's nobody else to set you straight
To shake you, to let you know

That it's still not too late -
I want to show you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

Don't make up stories,
I know you by your eyes
I think I know what's inside

The streets you've been on
Will leave you out in the cold
But you know I care,
And years from now
We'll both look down from the top of the stairs -
Here I've shown you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

7. LOVE IS ETERNAL


(Carly Simon/Teesa Gohl)

I've been doing a lot of thinking
About growing older and moving on
Nobody wants to be told that they're getting on
And maybe going away
For a long, long stay
But just how long and who knows
And how and where my spirit will go
Will it soar like Jazz on a saxophone
Or evaporate on a breeze
Won't you tell me please
That life is eternal
And love is immortal
And death is only a horizon
Life is eternal
As we move into the light
And a horizon is nothing
Save the limit of our sight
Save the limit of our sight


Here on earth I'm a lost soul
Ever trying to find my way back home
Maybe that's why each new star is born
Expanding heaven's room
Eternity in bloom
And will I see you up in that heaven
In all it's light will I know you're there
Will we say the things that we never dared
If wishing makes it so
Won't you let me know
That life is eternal
And love is immortal
And death is only a horizon
Life is eternal
As we move into the light
And a horizon is nothing
Save the limit of our sight
Save the limit of our sight

VIDEO



8. WAITED SO LONG

Please tell my sweet mother
Go on now tell uncle Paul
Tell all my girlfriends
Not to wait for me
Daddy, I'm no virgin
And I've already waited too long

Raise up your eyebrows
Raise, I said raise your glasses with a song
But don't expect me to be home tonight
Daddy, I'm sorry
But I've already waited too long

I met a boy with eyes of green
The warmest eyes I'd ever seen

He gave his lovin' love to me
The way I've always heard it would be

Daddy, please forgive me
And I've already waited so long

So blow, blow, blow out the candles
make my bed wide and long
Tell all my girlfriends
Not to wait for me
Daddy, I'm no virgin
I said I've already waited too long

Daddy, I'm sorry
But I've already waited so long

9. IS THIS LOVE


(Bob Marley)

I wanna love you
And treat you right
I wanna love you
Every day and every night
We’ll be together with a roof
Right over our head
We’ll share the shelter of my single bed
We’ll share the same room,
God will provide the bread

Chorus:
Is this love, is this love, is this love, is this love

I wanna love you
Everyday and every night
We’ll be together with a roof
Right over our heads
We’ll share the shelter of my single bed
We’ll share the same room

10. THE LOVE IS STILL GROWING


(Buzzy Linhart)

And I'm so high
I can't go on
Oh but I
Can sing this song

Because the love's still growing
And the love's still growing

Some folk say
That all hope is gone
]
But today, the world is one

Because the love's still growing
And the love's still growing

It's time to say
It's time to know
that it's O.K., that some must go.

11. I'VE GOT TO HAVE YOU


(Kris Kristofferson)

You came smilin' softly, shyly movin'
Easy as a dreamer into my room.
And before I realized the danger
I found myself looking into your eyes.
Somewhere in their colours I saw promises
Of things I'd never seen before
It's all over...I've got to have you.

Holding onto, talking, saying nothing.
Knowing in a moment I could lose you.
Then without a warning I remembered that
You trembled at the touch of my hand.

Knowing when you came to me that no one else
Would ever feel the same in my arms
It's all over...I've got to have you.

Wakin' in the morning to the tenderness
Of holding you asleep in my arms.
Dreaming while my hair was blowing
Softer than a whisper on my cheek.
I don't know the feeling so I don't know if it's love
But it's enough...It's enough
I can't help it...I've got to have you.
It's all over...I've got to have you.

12. TO NIGHT AND FOR EVER


(Simon/Schwatrz)

I’ve waited years
For you tonight
My faith in love has been my guiding light
I heard your voice
I read your heart
I fell in love with you though we were miles apart

tonight and forever
Tonight and forever I am yours

O sister make
My wedding bed
Tie a bunch of wild thorn branches
At the head
And scatter roses on the floor
Three bright stars shining at our door


Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever, I am yours

And a song on the wind
Rising from the sea

A fire so cold
A flame so new
No, I could never ask for more than you
The moon is high
The tide is in
Now the night is ours
Let the dance begin

Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever, I am yours

VIDEO



13. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME


(Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance)

I think of you now and then
But I remember when love was new
And you were mine, my love
So why would we pretend
We were lovers and now we’re friends
I don’t want to say goodbye to you
Again, my love

(Chorus)
It should have been me
That’s lovin?you instead of someone else
I needed you but how was I to know
It should have been me
That’s holding you through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should never let you go,

My love

What we once had is gone
No tears, no right, no wrong
It could never be the same again, my love
The more we see the less we know
Now you believe our love will grow
I don’t want to say goodbye to you again,
My love

(Chorus)

My love, how would I survive
With another broken heart
On my own again
When I need a friend
To help me find a place to start

(Chorus)

14. BODY AND SOUL


(Heyman/Sour/Eyton/Green)

My heart is sad and lonely
I sigh for you
For you dear only
Why haven’t you seen it
I’m all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wonder why
It’s me you’re wronging
I tell you I mean it
I’m all for you body and soul
I can’t believe it

It’s hard to conceive it
That you’d turn away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
Unless you’d give me one more chance
To prove dear
My life a wreck you’re making
You know I’m yours just for the taking
I’d gladly surrender
Myself to you - Body and Soul

VIDEO




15. DAMN YOU GET TO ME


Hey, when I say things that bother you
Don’t be a stubborn man
Don’t leave me in the cold
Remember who I am
Damn, you get to me
When I can’t get to you,
No fair, you’re silent and you’re hurt
And all I want to do
Is know what I’ve done wrong
All I want to know is what to do
Damn, you get to me

When I can’t get to you
There’s too much long distance
In our love
And tonight I need you
Don’t run away, please let me know
How I’ve hurt you
Hey, it’s me, see I’m the lucky one
You’ve opened up my heart
You led me by the hand

Damn, you got to me
Let me get to you

CHARLIE RICH: YOU NEVER REALLY WANTED ME [10]



Charles (Charlie) Rich (December 14, 1932 – July 25, 1995) was an American country music singer and musician. A Grammy Award winner, his eclectic-style of music was often hard to classify in a single genre, playing in the rockabilly, jazz, blues, country, and gospel genres.

In the latter part of his life, Rich acquired the nickname The Silver Fox. He is perhaps best remembered for a pair of 1973 hits, "Behind Closed Doors" and "The Most Beautiful Girl". "The Most Beautiful Girl" topped the U.S. country singles charts, as well as the pop singles charts.

1. A VERY SPECIAL LOVE SONG...


Babe, somewhere I know I'm gonna find it Babe
It'll have my love behind it
And it will be a symphony of all you mean to me
A very special love song
And Babe,
If there's a way you know I'm gonna say it Babe
If there's a melody I'll play it and I'll play it through
Especially for you
And all the words are true
A very special love song
So don't be surprised if your sitting alone

And you hear it
'Cause I'm gonna sing it to the whole big lonely world
So turn your radio way down low and get near it
And I'll tell the world
I love you girl
Babe, if there's an ounce of love
I'm gonna give it to you Babe
If there's a breath of life
I'm gonna live it everyday for you
And oh the whole night through singing just for you
A very special love song
For You

2. YOU NEVER REALLY WANTED ME


(A. Rich)
You never really wanted me
Now I can see
Yes I can see
You took your love and ran away from me
You've gone and now you're back
What do you want from me?
Standing there
Please don't cry over me
After all you never cried for me before
Why start now?


Isn't it a little late for that now girl
Don't go feeling sorry for yourself

Remember I loved you
I loved you
I never knew the games we played
Had such a lasting grip upon the plans we made
I was busy laughing waiting for the day
Now our time is gone
And there's nothing left to say
Standing there
Please don't cry over me
After you never cried for me before...

AUDIO


3. EVERY TIME YOU TOUCH ME I GET HIGH


And every time you're near I can fly
High above the clouds and rain
Way above the hurt and pain
And when you're gone I fall down from the sky
But every time you touch me I get high
I've been touched be the angels and
I've been kissed by the very best
I've been loved hard by quite a few
]
But after you
I forget the rest
'Cause every time you touch me I get high
And every time you're near me I can fly
When your fingers touch my skin
That's when I start to live again
'Cause without your love
I'd lay right down and die
Every time you touch me I get high

VIDEO



4. SINCE I FELL FOR YOU


When you just give love
And never get love
You'd better let love depart

I know it's so and yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart

You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you

Love brings such misery and pain
I know I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you


Well, it's too bad
And it's too sad
But I'm in love with you

Oh, oh, oh, you love me
Then you snub me
But what can I do
I'm still in love with you

I, I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you

Since I fell for you

5. HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT



Take the ribbon from your hair.
Shake it loose, and let it fall.
Lay it soft against my skin,
Like the shadows on the wall.

Oh come and lay down by my side,
‘Till the early morning light.
All I'm taking is your time.
So help me make it through the night.


I don't care what's right or wrong!
I don't try to understand!
Let the devil take tomorrow,
'Cause tonight I need a friend!

Yesterday is dead and gone,
And tomorrow's out of sight.
It’s so sad to be alone,
So, help me make it through the night!

(humming)

It’s so sad to be alone,
So, help me make it through the night!

I don’t want to be alone.
So, help me make it through the night!

6. THERE WON'T BE ANYMORE.



Don't wait for the postman,
If you're lookin for a letter from me.
There wont be anymore!
There wont be anymore!
And don't sit by your telephone,
If you're waitin on a call from me.
There wont be anymore!
There wont be anymore!
Don't think of the love we had
Till you turned bad
And broke my loving heart in two.
And when your heart is breakin,
And you need some lovin from me,

There wont be anymore!
There wont be anymore!
(it wont be like before)
(there wont be anymore)
Don't think of the love we had.
(love we had)
Till you turned bad,
(you turned bad)
And broke my loving heart in two
And when your heart is breakin,
And you need some lovin from me,
There wont be anymore!
There wont be anymore!
It wont be like before.
There just wont be anymore!

7. I LOVE MY FRIEND



[B. Sherrill/N. Wilson}

She was crying
And I was lonely
And a band was playing
Some old love song
Someone had hurt her
And someone had left me
And We both needed something
To hold on to
Who knows
Tomorrow it might all end
But tonight I love my friend
I love my friend
And we'll make it
Maybe
Just maybe
Even though we're gonna share the night

In each other's arms
I'll treat her like a lady
And I'll call her baby
'Cause I love my friend
We'll make it
Maybe
Just maybe
Tomorrow when we start another day
And we don't know the way
I'll still treat her like a lady
Still call her baby
'Cause I love my friend
And we'll make it
Maybe

Sittin' & Thinkin'

(Please baby wait for me)
(Wait for me)
(Wait for me)
I got loaded last night on a bottle of gin.
And I had a fight with my best girl friend.
But when I'm drinkin I am nobodys friend.
But, please baby wait for me until they let me out again.
I know the same thing has happened before.
And every time it does,
I hate it more and more.
But when Im drinkin I am nobodys friend.
But, please baby wait for me until they let me out again.
(Spend a whole lot of time)
Spend a whole lot of time,

(Spend a whole lot of time)
Sittin and thinkin,
(Spend a whole lot of time)
Sittin and just thinkin bout you.
If I didn't spend so much time sittin and drinkin.
Wed still have a love that we once knew.
Oh, I wont promise the same thing wont happen again.
But I can promise, it'll be a long, long time till then.
Cause when Im drinkin I am nobodys friend.
But, please baby wait for me until they let me out again.
Please baby wait for me until they let me out again.

9. LIFE HAS ITS LITTLE UPS AND DOWNS



I don't know how to tell her
That I didn't get that raise in pay today.
And I know how much she wanted the dress
In Bakers window, and it breaks my heart
To see her have to wait
And cancel all her plans she made to celebrate.
But I can count on her to take it
With a smile and not a frown.
She knows that life
Has it's little ups and downs,
Like Ponies on a merry-go-round.
And no one plants the grass green every time,
But she don't mind.
She wears a gold ring on her finger,
And it's mine.
The new house plans we've had so long,

I guess will gather dust another year.
And the daffodils are blooming
That she planted way last fall
Upon the hill, and over by the gate.
And Lord knows I hate to say again well have to wait.
But you can bet that shell just take it
With a smile and not a frown.
She knows that life has it's little ups and downs,
Like Ponies on a merry-go-round.
And no one plants the grass green every time,
But she don't mind.
She wears a gold ring on her finger,
And Im so glad that it's mine!
She wears a gold ring on her finger,
And Im so glad that it's mine!

10. MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL

Hey. Did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she cryin' ... cryin'.

Hey. If you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me.

Tell her I'm sorry.
Tell her I need my baby.

Oh, won't you tell her that I love her.

I woke up this morining, realized what I had done.
I stood alone in the cold, grey dawn, and knew that I lost my morning sun.

I lost my head, and I said some things.
Now comes the heartaches that the morning brings.

I know I lost, but I couldn't see.

I let my world slip away from me.

So, hey. Did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she cryin' ... cryin'.

Hey. If you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me.

Tell her I'm sorry.
Tell her I need my baby.

Oh, won't you tell her that I love her.

If you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me.

Tell her I'm sorry.
Tell her I need my baby.

Oh, won't you tell her that I love her.

ALEEZA: I AM NOT TWENTY [6]




AlizĂ©e Jacotey (French pronunciation: [aliˈze]; born 21 August 1984) is a French singer, known professionally by her given name AlizĂ©e – the feminine form of alizĂ©, the trade wind.[1] She was discovered by Mylène Farmer, following her winning performance in the talent show, Graines de Star,[2] in 1999. While collaborating with Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, AlizĂ©e released two albums – both of which were hits inside and outside of France.
AlizĂ©e entered the music business in 2000. She has since released four studio albums – first two of which were composed by Laurent Boutonnat and written by Mylène Farmer. Her first album was Gourmandises, which received Platinum certification within three months of release. Gourmandises was a success both in France and abroad – after it had its international launch in 2001 – earning AlizĂ©e the distinction of being the highest selling female French singer in 2001.[3] The album featured her most successful single "Moi... Lolita" which reached number one in several countries in Europe and East Asia. Gourmandises was followed by a second studio album Mes Courants Électriques in 2003, which was also quite successful, though not as big a hit as AlizĂ©e's debut album. Following its release, AlizĂ©e toured France during the fall of 2003, performing in 43 concerts throughout France, along with Belgium and Switzerland.[4]
Alizée married fellow French singer Jérémy Chatelain in late 2003. Following her marriage, she took a hiatus from singing before returning with a new album, titled Psychédélices, on 3 December 2007.[5] Her fourth album titled Une Enfant Du Siècle was released on 29 March 2010 and showcases her new mature persona, while distancing herself from her earlier lolita figure.

1. I AM NOT TWENTY



Looking for paradise
Is always on my mind
Morning light shining right
Sing me a lullaby

Oh! Baby come to me
Bring back simplicity
I’m here, you see !
So why hang on to me ?
Just write me poetry
If you’re okey dokey !

Get up and start to smile, guy
Do it for me
Wake up, I’ll come around man
Let’s do “boogie-woogie”

It’s not even a game
Get over your pain
I’m not twenty
Not even ashamed
Could we celebrate
Cause’ I’m not twenty
And life goes on and on
I go as I come
MĂ©lodie de vie
I fly all alone
A light little stone
You get old at twenty
And I want to be free !

Oh! Baby baby mine
You’re always on my mind
Having fun is just fine
Your love, I shall deny

2. I AM FED UP

Bubbles and water
Legs up for hours
My goldfish is under me
To bathe for hours
Makes my mouth water
I’m “foamely” ecstatic

It’s not a problem
I lazy ‘round
Bubbly and stubborn
I lazy ‘round
Melon and water
Is just a dream
It makes me wonder
Is it a “sin” ?

Bubbles and water
Legs up for hours
“Bombs”, you keep away from me!
Today lying low
Twisting up my toes
I swim in such harmony
So what bothers me:

Chorus :
I’m fed up with loneliness
With my uncle overstressed
Fumbling, crawling for something

That never shows, just a dream.
I’m fed up with creeps crying
Over the past, such a sin
Not to be cool, but a fool
If I could mess up their rules.
I’m fed up with your complaints
Baby, well I’m not a saint!
Fed up with the rain, the plane…
That makes me throw up again.
I’m fed up with all cynics
Bathing caps and all critics
I’m fed up with being fed up! Poor me !

Bubbles and water
Legs up for hours
My goldfish still under me!
Delight of pleasures
Aquatic treasures
A place out of misery, my fantasy



Falling for me, indeed
Is diving in someone’s need
Love is too strong !
I’ve fallen into me
And freedom’s ecstasy !
You can never go wrong !

Coming, floating above my dreams
Wherever you go
I'll be calling your name, Ifeel
Always on your side
If you tell me, that you love me
hold on to your sky
Oh, Am?lie mine, help me to fly.

Am?lie has gold for every soul
Am?lie was told to be my angel
Am?lie has melted every stone

Words of Am?lie, words I follow
M?lodie de vie, m?lo d' Am?lie

A little lonely
Photographs over me
Sleeping beauty
No, I?m not I?m ugly
And wait
To see your sign, Oh, would I
Stay away
Until you are mine
And
Dawn is coming down
Feeling empty, falling slowly
Never let me drown
Oh, Amalie mine, help me to fly.

Willie Nelson references her in Devil in a Sleepin' Bag on Shotgun Willie, saying 'Just got back from New York City, Kris (Kristofferson) and Rita (Coolidge) done it all/ Bought perfection there for all the world to see/ Lord, I heard an angel singing in that Philharmonic Hall/ Rita Coolidge, Rita Coolidge, cleft for me'.

1. WE ARE ALL ALONE


Outside the rain begins
And it may never end
So cry no more
On the shore, a dream
Will take us out to sea
Forever more, forever more

Close your eyes and dream
And you can be with me
'Neath the waves
Through the caves of ours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone, we're all alone

Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
Learn how to pretend

Once a story's told

It can't help but grow old
Roses do, lovers too
So cast your seasons to the wind
And hold me, dear
Oh, hold me, dear

Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
All's forgotten now
We're all alone,oh, we're all alone

Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
Owe it to the wind
My love

2. A SONG I'D LOVE TO SING

There's a song I'd like to sing
Do you know the song I mean
It don't know the way it sound the same
But it's always good to sing

Anyone one can say the words
Anyone can sing the tune
If you take a little time
I can teach this song to you

And we can get to know each other
Like a sister and brother

Like a father and a mother
Like a woman and a man

And we can sing along together
Just enjoy in tune it's over
You don't need to last forever
If we want it to be again

Maybe it don't mean a thing
It's a pretty little tune
It's a song I'd like to sing
That I'd love to sing with you

VIDEO

3. I WANTED IT ALL

I wanted it all right from the beginning
The more that I saw of what could be mine
So young and so faithful, too hungry and blind
Sure took a fall, I wanted it all

[Incomprehensible] was where I could get it
Into the streets where it's easy to use
Taking my brother, getting down on the blues
Sleeping in homes, I wanted it all

Fires keep burning just to become ashes
You change your mind as fast as lightning flashes

I wanted it all up to the last minute
I took you for real and you took me apart
Two gamblers felt perky, one had the cards
After the ball, I wanted it all

You're telling me all what you believe in
Searching for someone there's nothing to give
You say I'm empty handed and I don't know how to live
I don't believe you at all, I wanted it all

You never knew me at all, I wanted it all
I wanted it all

VIDEO

4. FOOL THAT I AM

Oh, I tried to make the best of
All the sweet love that you gave me
Maybe I'm crazy
But I keep on losing ground

Fool that I am, fool that I may be
When will I ever know what's true
And if I found out differently
Would I still love you?

Two hearts breakin', two hearts achin'
Someone's takin' more than they gave
Trusting in someone
Who has no trust in me

Fool that I am, fool that I may be
When will I ever know what's true
And if I found out differently
Would I still love you?

Fool that I am, fool that I may be
When will I ever know what's true
And if I found out differently
Would I still love you?
Would I still love you?

VIDEO

5. YOU

I can't remember when I've felt this high
Must be something special about
The way you're loving me tonight

You know that I can't remember when I've felt this right
Loving you the way I do
Has made me feel like a shooting star
Shining bright and shining far
And I wonder how I ever got alone

Without you
There's something very special about you
You're all I ever think about, it's true
Baby, it's you
I'm talkin' about you

I was sitting back and watching my life go by
Until you came along and picked me up

Oh, and now I'm starting out a brand new life
And everything I say and do is all because of you, boy
You've given me a new joy
I wonder how I ever got alone

Without you
There's something very special about you
You're all I ever think about, it's true
Baby, it's you
I'm talkin' about you

Oh, but now I'll never have to sit around and cry no more
Baby, ever since you walked in through my door

And now I know as long as I have you, I'll always know
That everything that's good and new is all because of you, boy
You've given me a new joy
And I wonder how I ever got alone

Without you
There's something very special about you
You're all I ever think about, it's true
Baby, it's you
I'm talkin' about you

About you
There's something very special about you
You're all I ever think about, it's true
Baby, it's you
I'm talkin' about you

About you
There's something very special about you
You're all I ever think about, it's true
Baby, it's you...

6. ALL TIME HIGH

All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two
Had no intention to do the things we've done
Funny how it always goes with love, when you don't look, you find
But then we're two of a kind, we move as one

We're an all time high, we'll change all that's gone before
Doin' so much more than falling in love
On an all time high, we'll take on the world and wait
So hold on tight, let the flight begin

I don't want to waste a waking moment, I don't want to sleep
I'm in so strong and so deep, and so are you
In my time I've said these words before but now I realize
My heart was telling me lies, for you they're true

We're an all time high, we'll change all that's gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love
On an all time high, we'll take on the world and wait
So hold on tight, let the flight begin

So hold on tight, let the flight begin
We're an all time high...

VIDEO


7. WAY YOU DO THE THINGS YOU DO

You've got a smile so bright
You know, you could've been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know, you could've been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know, you could've been a broom
The way you smell so sweet
You know, you could've been some perfume
Well, you could've been anything
That you wanted to and I can tell
The way you do the things you do
(The way you do the things you do,
The way you do the things you do)

As pretty as you are
You know, you could've been a flower
If good looks can cause a minute
You know that you could be an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know, you could've been a cool crook
And baby, you're so smart
You know, you could've been a schoolbook
Well, you could've been anything
That you wanted to and I can tell
The way you do the things you do
(The way you do the things you do,
The way you do the things you do)

You made my life so rich
You know, you could've been some money
And baby, you're so sweet
You know, you could've been some honey
Well, you could've been anything
That you wanted to and I can tell
The way you do the things you do
(The way you do the things you do)
You really swept me off my feet
(The way you do the things you do)
You made my life complete
(The way you do the things you do)
You made my life so bright
(The way you do the things you do)
You make me feel all right...

8 .I'D RATHER LEAVE WHILE I AM IN LOVE
I'd rather leave while i'm in love
while I still believe the meaning of the word
I'll keep my dreams and just pretend
that you and I are never gonna end

Too many times I've seen
the rose die on the vine
somebody's heart gets broken
usually it's mine
I don't want to take the chance
of being hurt again
and you and I can't say good-bye

So if you wake and find me gone
oh baby carry you see I need my
fantasy I still believe it's best

to leave while I'm in love

Too many times I've seen
the rose die on the vine
somebody's heart gets broken usually
It's mine I don't want to take
the chance of being hurt again
and you and I can't say good-bye

So if you wake and find me gone
oh baby carry on you see I need my
fantasy I still believe it's best to
leave while I'm in love I still believe
It's best to leave while I'm in love

9. LOVE ME AGAIN.

I wanna say I love you
I wanna say I care
Even though you
May not feel the same

I'm not afraid to wait
Cause I know you'll change

(CHORUS)
Love ends
So love begins, my friend
Love me again
Love me again

If love were a road
I'd be walking
If you were still lucky
I'd be home


Obey your heart
And let me walk in
Open up your eyes
And love me again

(CHORUS)

Obey your heart
And let me walk in
Open up your eyes
And love me again

(CHORUS)

Love me again
Love me again

10. PLEASE DON'T TELL ME HOW THE STORY ENDS


This may be our last good night together
We may never pass this way again
Just let me enjoy it till it's over or forever
Please don't tell me how the story ends.

See the way our shadows come together
Softer than your fingers on my skin
Someday these may be all we remember of each other
Please don't tell me how the story ends.

Never's just the echo of forever
Lonesome as the love that might have been
Let me go on loving and believing till it's over
Baby, please don't tell me how the story ends.

Please don't tell me how the story ends...
