"Since I Fell For You"

"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 may 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
First 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

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

"Since You're Gone"

"Since You're Gone"



Since you're gone with your guy
I feel as though I want cry
But a man ant supposed to shed a tear
If only you were here (you've gone away baby), if only you were here (you've gone away baby)

If only if you were here I'd lie for you, darling I'd die for you
Please say you're coming home

Since you've gone away
Been working hard while you're at play
Never thinking that you are untrue
Didn't worry over you

So long, this is goodbye
I didn't want you to leave me, but I've got my pride
There's one thing I want you to know
Girl I love you so (you've gone away baby), girl I love you so (you've gone away baby)
You've gone away (you've gone away baby)
So long (you've gone away baby)
Oh my darling, so long

"Some Days Are Made For Rain"

"Some Days Are Made For Rain"



We held each other 'til the moon was high
We waved that sleepy little town good bye
And driving off together we crossed our hearts
Living for the promise that love would keep us honest
I said I'd be yours if you'd be mine
We were crazy baby
And every day the sun was sure to shine
But it tried and tried
Sometimes the wind makes a sudden change
And some days are made for rain

We fixed a tire and we drove like hell
We kissed like fire in a cheap motel
I never felt the hunger so bad before
Holding you beside me
Walls came down inside me
And I thought I was yours and you were mine
That was crazy baby
I was sure the sun would always shine
But it tried and tried

Sometimes the wind makes a sudden change
And some days are made for rain

You want to talk about love
I'll tell you all about love
Nothing but trouble
On top of falling
One day you're walking on air
Next day you look and there's no one there
She never cared
She never cared

Now I've been sleeping with the tv on
I get so tired of wondering where you've gone
You tore across my heart across like a hurricane
I'm counting up the damage
Trying hard to manage
I thought I was yours and you were mine
That was crazy baby
And I was sure the sun would always shine
But take a look outside
Sometimes a wind makes a sudden change
Here comes those clouds and they're full of pain
Some days are made for rain
Some days are made for rain

Let it pour outside
Some days are made for rain

Some days are made for rain

"Somewhere, Somebody"

"Somewhere, Somebody"



Must be a million girls in this great big city
I know that one of them is just right for me
I've looked uptown, downtown, all around searchin'
I know she's out there waiting for me

Somewhere, somebody, lookin', longin'
Somewhere, somebody, waitin' for me
Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world can this girl be

You know street lights shine in those passin' faces
I keep tryin' to catch somebody's eye
But all the shoulda been's, the woulda been's, the mighta been's and the coulda been's
Slippin' away and just walk right on by

Somewhere, somebody, lookin', longin'
Somewhere, somebody, waitin' for me
Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world can this girl be

I walk in the rain that's fallin'
Some voice in the distance callin', why
I run to the empty doorway waitin' for the sun to shine
When will love be mine

Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world
Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world

Must be a million girls in this great big city
I know you're out there waiting for me

"Song Of Bernadette"

"Song Of Bernadette"



There was a child named Bernadette
I heard the story, long ago
She saw the queen of heaven once
And kept the vision in her soul

No one believed what she had seen
No one believed what she heard
But there were sorrows to be healed
And mercy, mercy in this world

So many hearts I find
Broken like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
I just want to hold you
Won't you let me hold you?
Like Bernadette would do

We've been around we fall, we fly
We mostly fall, we mostly run
And every no and then, we try
To mend the damage that we've done

Tonight, tonight I cannot rest
I've got this joy inside breast
To think that I did not forget
That child, that song of Bernadette

So many hearts I find
Broken like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
I just want to hold you
Come on let me hold you?
Like Bernadette would do

I just want to hold you
Won't you let me hold you?
Like Bernadette would do

"Space Man"

"Space Man"



Hey la, um de hey oh la
Said, hey la, um de hey oh le
Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Said hey, oh hey, feelin' good today
One day as I was a havin' myself a party
You know a flyin' saucer landed right by my side
You know a big green man jumped out and boy you know he robbed me
You know he beat me for my bottle before I got high

I hittim' up knowing that I was dead
'Cause he had that big ray-gun pointed at my head
But curiosity will get the best of the best
You know he smelled that bottle and the liquor did the rest

And I said, hey la, um de hey oh la
Hey la, um de hey oh le
Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Hey, oh hey, it ain't over yet

Turned that bottle up and started drinking
It was a long, long time before he pulled it away
His eyes got crossed and man his knees started wobblin'
He took four steps forward and this is what he said

He said, hey la, um de hey, oh la
Hey la, um de hey, oh le
He said hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Hey oh la, feel good today

I could see this cat was a just about to party
'Cause he had that great big green in his eye
He said come on hurry on down, let's forget our troubles
Just jump in my space hot-rod and take a little ride

So now I'm not afraid of no kind of space man
'Cause I keep my defenses by my side
And if you ever see me any place or any time
You can bet I'm a holding my bottle by my side

And I'm gonna sing hey la, um de hey, oh la
Hey la, um de hey, oh le
Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Hey oh hey, I feel good today

"Stand By Me"

"Stand By Me"



When the night has come and the land, it is dark
And the moon is the only light that we see
No, I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid
Just as long, just as long as you stand, stand by me

If the sky, we look upon should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble into the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, and I won't shed a tear
Just as long, just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin', darlin', stand, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, oh, my darlin', please stand by me

If the sky, we look upon should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble into the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear
Just as long, just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin', darlin', stand, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, oh, please stand by me
Whenever I'm in trouble won't you stand, stand by me?
Oh, stand by me, oh darlin', please stand by me

Steer me right, sweet Jesus

"Such A Night"

"Such A Night"



Twas the night before christmas all white with snow
I was lying back waiting for my baby to show
I was searching my mind for the right things to say
'cause she had to leave the very next day
When out on the driveway I heard such a clatter
I dimmed all the lights and put on clyde mcphatter
And she came to the doorway and she gave me a kiss
And the rest of the night went something like this.....

It was a night
Oo what a night it was, it really was
Such a night
The moon was bright
Oo how bright it was, it really was
Such a night
The night was alive
With the stars above
Oo when she kissed
I had to fall in love.

Oo it was a kiss
Oo what a kiss it was, it really was
Such a kiss
How she could kiss!
Oo what a kiss it was, it really was
Such a kiss
Just the thought of her lips sets me afire
I reminisce, I'm filled with desire.

And I gave my heart to her in sweet surrender (doo wah, doo wah)
Oh how I remember! (doo wah, doo wah)
I'll always remember...(doo wah, doo wah)

Oo that night
Oo what a night it was, it really was
Such a night
Came the dawn

And my heart and her love and the night were gone
But I know I'll never forget her kiss in the moonlight
Oo such a kiss
Oo such a night

And I gave my heart to her in sweet surrender (doo wah, doo wah)
Oh how I remember! (doo wah, doo wah)
I'll always remember (doo wah, doo wah)

Oo that night
Oo what a night it was, it really was
Such a night
Came the dawn
And my heart and her love and the night were gone
But I know I'll never forget her kiss in the moonlight
Oo such a kiss
Oo such a night

Well it's now christmas morning and my baby's gone
So I light up the tree and turn the radio on
I sit down in my chair and let out a sigh
I sang away in a manager and angels on high
Now my family and friends will soon knock on my door
So I'll say merry christmas to you and to yours
May your days be cheerful and your burdens be light
Oh but mostly I wish everyone such a night

Now she's gone, gone, gone
Yeah she's gone, gone, gone
And the dawn, dawn, dawn
And the night was gone
And my heart was gone
And her love was gone
And before the dawn
Oh oh oh
Such a night!!

"Sweet Amelia"

"Sweet Amelia"



Oh Amelia, oh Amelia
A southern woman, a southern woman
Never had a chance to say goodbye

I met her back in sixty-three, she was such a mystery
She was there on barron street, down in new orleans
So wild, but yet so tame, she could calm a hurricane
She was only seventeen and Amelia was her name

Oh when I took her for a ride, she got close by my side
And when I looked into her eye, Amelia kept me hypnotized
But in my heart she fell, oh I got pulled into her spell
I can still see her there, with the flowers in her hair

Oh Amelia, my southern woman, oh my woman
I can still feel you, feel you, feel you, everytime I close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye
Never heard her say goodbye

I remember making love underneath the stars above
I can feel the summer breeze up in magnolia trees
That night in the southern light, the girl she took me by the hand
I was weak as a little lamb, but I became a man

Love was pumping through my veins, her lips were sweet like sugarcane
We rode all night in the rain, 'cross lake poncetrain
She had a heart as fine as fire, burning innocent desire
I can still see her there, with flowers in her hair

Oh Amelia, oh Amelia
A southern woman, a southern woman
I can still feel you, everytime I close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
Where did you run to, where'd you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye
Never want to say goodbye

Just like a shooting star, she vanished in the night
But I'll always remember her lips so warm and tender
And in my heart she'll always shine so bright
Sweet Amelia, if I could just see her one more time

Oh Amelia, my southern woman
A southern woman,
I can still feel you, oh I can feel you, everytime I close my eyes, close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye (never, never, never, never never say goodbye)

Oh Amelia, oh Amelia
A southern woman, a southern woman
I can still feel you, everytime I close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye

Oh Amelia, a southern woman,
A southern woman
I can still feel you, everytime I close my eyes, from the bottom of my heart
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia,
Where did you run to
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye
