"The Man That Got Away"

"The Man That Got Away"


The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
The wind blows colder
And suddenly you're older
And all because of the man that got away

No more is he the cause
The writings on the wall
Oh but dreams, yeah dreams
Have all gone astray

The man that won you
Has gone off and undone you
The great beginning
Has seen it's final ending
Don't know what happened
It's all a crazy game

No more, no more of that ole time thrill
Honey you been through the mill
Never will a new love will be the same

Good riddance ah goodbye
Every, every prickle is you own to
But fools will be fools
And where he goes to
The road gets rougher
It's lonelier and it's tougher
We hope you run up
Tomorrow, tomorrow may come up

There's just no letter
The live long night and day
Ever since this world begun
There ain't nothing sadder
Than a one man woman
Crying for the man that got away

"The Power"

"The Power"


A king is crying from his throne
He had a queen but now she's gone
What is this magic that we seek
The mighty strong to mighty weak

Every good girl hears it
Every bad boy fears it
No matter what I see
I believe, I believe

The power touches me
The power sets us free
The power holds my hand
The power drives me crazy

A flowers grows, an old man dies
And through it all we still survive
A poor man dreams but no one hears
Ain't nothing changed much through the years

Every bad day needs it
Every good day breeds it
No matter how it feels
When it's real you know it's real
It's stronger than anybody
Any man has ever made

The power touches me
The power helps us see
The power holds my hand, yeah
The power drives me crazy

It won't take long to understand
Just how lucky I am

Open up your eyes and see
It won't take long to understand
Just how lucky I am

Every good boy needs it
Every bad girl breeds it
No matter how I feel
Oh, when it's real you know its real
It's stronger than anybody
Any man has ever made

The power holds my hand, yeah
Drives me crazy

The power sets us free, yeah
The power holds my hand, yeah
The power drives me crazy

And I believe and you believe
And we believe that everybody's gonna be alright
Alright in just my mind

Power
Power
Power

"The Same Mistake"

"The Same Mistake"


Crash the car, this road is going nowhere fast
Burn the bed, where we once laid
And close the door, there's nothing left to say
Walk the streets I know the way, I know the way

Did you wonder how we got to this place
And as I watched my world go walking out the door
I see, I won the peace but I have lost the war
That love is give and sometimes take
Next time I won't make the same mistake

Break the chains, they couldn't hold you anyway
Pray to God, this too will pass
Raise your glass to old acquaintances and friends
Talk to me 'cause I can bend, I can bend

Did you ever think that we'd turn out this way
And as I watch my world go walking out the door
I see, I've won the peace but I have lost the war
And I know, I know that love is give and love is take
Next time, baby, I won't make the same mistake, same mistake

Did you wonder how we got to this place
And as I watched my world go walking out the door
I see, I won the peace but I have lost the war
And I know, I know I know that love is give and sometimes take
Oh, next time I won't make the same mistake

Love is sometimes give and sometimes take
Love is sometimes give and sometimes take

"The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)"
(originally by Betty Everett)



Does he love me I want to know
How can I tell if he loves me so
Is it in his eyes?
Oh no! You'll be deceived
Is it in his sighs?
Oh no! He'll make believe
If you want to know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

Is it in his face?
Oh no! That's just his charms
In his warm embrace?
Oh no! That's just his arms
If you want to know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

Kiss him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss

How about the way he acts
Oh no! That's not the way
And you're not list'nin' to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

Hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss

How about the way he acts
Oh no! That's not the way
And you're not listnin' to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

It's in his kiss
That's where it is
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

It's in his kiss
That's where it is
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore"

"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore"


Loneliness is a cloak you wear
A deep shade of blue is always there

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love

Baby, emptiness is a place you're in
Nothing to lose not no more to win

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love

Lonely without you, baby
Boy, I need you, I can't go on

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love

Loneliness is a coat you wear
The dark shade of blue is always there

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love

"The Thought Of Loving You"

"The Thought Of Loving You"


The thought of loving you
The way I'm longing to
A thousand hopeful dreams I've had
Are finally coming true
I use to put you on a pedal stool
Where you became untouchable
But now we touch
And not so much is possible

Just be near to you
Would be enough for me
The many years without your love
Has been so rough on me
But now a change is taking place in me
I have found someone, who's faith in me
Has given me the strength
I needed so desperately
In my darkness, you turn on the light
My illusions vanished over night

The thought of loving you, is now reality
The thousand dreams I had
We're nowhere near to how it could be
For as we melted love so beautiful
I never felt so wonderful
The thought of loving you
The way I'm longing to
And now, right now
Right now, right now, right now

"The Times They Are A-Changin'"

"The Times They Are A-Changin'"


Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

"The Twelfth Of Never"
(originally by Johnny Mathis)



You ask how much I needed you
Must I explain
I need you oh my darling
Like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you
I'll tell you true
Until the twelfth of never
I'll still be loving you

Hold me close
Never let me go
Hold me close
Melt my heart
Like April's snow

I love you
Till the blue bells forget to bloom
I love you
Till the clover has lost its perfume
I love you
Till the poets run out of rhymes
Until the twelfth of never
And that's a long, long time
Until the twelfth of never
And that's a long, long time
Until the twelfth of never
And that's a long, long time

"The Way Of Love"
(originally by Kathy Kirby)



When you meet a boy
That you like a lot
And you fall in love
But he loves you not

If a flame should start
As you hold him near
Better keep your heart
Out of danger, dear

For the way of love
Is a way of woe
And the day may come
When you'll see him go

Then what will ya do
When he sets you free
Just the way that you
Said goodbye to me

When you meet a boy
That you like a lot
And you fall in love
But he loves you not

If a flame should start
As you hold him near
Better keep your heart
Out of danger, dear

For the way of love
Is a way of woe
And the day may come
When you'll see him go

Then what will ya do
When he sets you free
Just the way that you
Said goodbye to me

That's the way of love
The way of love

"There But For Fortune"

"There But For Fortune"
(originally by Phil Ochs)



Show me the prison
Show me the jail
Show me the prisoner
Whose life has gone stale

And I'll show you the young man
With some many reasons why
There but for fortune
Go you or I

Show me the alley
Show me the train
Show me the hobo
Who sleeps out in the rain

And I'll show you the young man
With some many reasons why
There but for fortune
Go you or I

Show me the whiskey
Stains on the floor
Show me the drunkard
As he stumbles out the door

And I'll show you the young man
With some many reasons why
There but for fortune
Go you or I

Show me the country
Where the bombs had to fall
Show me the ruins
Of the buildings once so tall

I'll show you the young land
With some many reasons why
There but for fortune
Go you and I
You and I
You and I
