"Bye Bye Love"

"Bye Bye Love"


Bye, bye love, bye, bye happiness
Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry.
Bye, bye love, bye, bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness, I think I'm gonna die
Bye, bye, my love, goodbye.

There goes my baby
With someone new
He sure looks happy
I sure am blue.

She was my baby
Till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance
That might have been.

Bye, bye love, bye, bye happiness
Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry.
Bye, bye love, bye, bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness, I think I'm gonna die
Bye, bye, my love, goodbye.

I'm through with you romance
I'm through with love
I'm through with countin'
The stars above.

And here's the reason
Why I feel free
My lovin' baby
Is through with me.

Bye, bye love, bye, bye happiness
Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry.
Bye, bye love, bye, bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness, I think I could die
Bye, bye, my love, goodbye.

Bye, bye, my love, goodbye.
Bye, bye, my love, goodbye...

"Christmas Long Ago"

"Christmas Long Ago"


Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle!

I remember a Christmas long ago,
I remember hanging mistletoe,
I remember love, lights of red and blue,
How I remember you.

Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle!

I remember a Christmas long ago,
Christmas Eve taking sleigh rides out in the snow,
Later on that night, 'bout a quarter to three,
Seems I asked you to marry me.

Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle!

Everytime it's Christmas Eve,
Something happens inside,
Seems like the love we had,
Never, never died.

Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle!

[Interlude]

I remember love, lights of red and blue,
How I remember you.

I remember Christmas long ago,
Never, never, never, never, never forget that Christmas.

Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle!

I remember Christmas long ago,
Never, never, never, never, never forget that Christmas.

Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle,
Jingle!

I remember Christmas long ago,
Never, never, never, never, never forget that Christmas.

"Coat Of Many Colours"

"Coat Of Many Colours"


Back through the years
I go wonderin once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didnt have a coat
And it was way down in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
And I just couldnt wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss

[Chorus:]
My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me

So with patches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me

And oh I couldnt understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma sewed in every stitch
And I told em all the story
Momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes

But they didnt understand it
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
Made just for me

"Come Back Paddy Reilly To Ballyjamesduff"

"Come Back Paddy Reilly To Ballyjamesduff"


The Garden of Eden has vanished they say
But I know the lie of it still
Just turn to the left at the bridge of Finea
And stop when halfway to Cootehill.

It's there you'll find it I know sure enough
For fortune has come to my call
The grass it is green around Ballyjamesduff
And the blue sky is over it all.

And tones that are tender and tones that are ruff
Come whispering over the sea
Come back, Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff
Come home, Paddy Reilly, to me.

My mother once told me that when I was born
The day that I first saw the light
I looked down the street on that very first morn
And gave a crow of delight.

Now most newborn babies appear in a puff
And start with a sorrowful squall
But I knew I was born in Ballyjamesduff
And that's why I smiled at them all.

The baby's a man now, he's toil-worn and tough
Still, whispers come over the sea
Come back, Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff
Come home, Paddy Reilly, to me.

Come home, Paddy Reilly, to me...

"Come On Over To My Place"

"Come On Over To My Place"


Little girl, you look so lonesome
I see you are feeling blue
Ain't no use in staying at home
I know what you should do

Come on over to my place
Hey girl, we're having a party
We'll be swinging, dancing and singing
Baby, come on over tonight

Now you don't need the address
To find out where we'll be
Cos you can't help hearing the music
Half way down the street

So baby, come on over to my place
Come on, we're having a party
We'll be swinging, dancing and singing
Baby, come on over tonight

When we get tired of dancing
Things start getting slow
That's the real best part of the evening
To turn the lights down low

So baby, baby, come on over to my place
Hey girl, we're having a party
We'll be swinging, dancing and singing
Baby, come on over tonight

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on over to my place
Hey you, we're having a party
We'll be swinging, dancing and singing
Oh baby, won't you come on over tonight

Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on over to my place
Hey you, we're having a party
We'll be swinging, dancing and singing
Oh baby, won't you come on over tonight

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on over to my place
Hey you, we're having a party

"Cottage By The Lee"

"Cottage By The Lee"


'Tis well I know that often folk keep wond'ring
When in my eyes a far off look they see,
What it can be the 'cause of all my dreaming,
What is this dream so very dear to me?
And, truth to tell, 'tis often I go roaming
In dreams along the road of memory,
To where my heart will find its consolation,
Within the lovely cottage by the Lee,
My home, sweet home that I so fondly cherish,
The dear ones there mean ev'rything to me;
In all this world, if there can be a heaven,
I'm sure it's in that cottage by the Lee.

'Tis well I stand outside that cottage doorway,

And gaze across the corn fields rich and gold,
To hear the stream go rippling by the meadow,
Or watch the shepherd calling to his fold.
From down the lane that winds behind the garden,
The blackbird greets the smiling summer morn,
And as his music echoes o'er the valley,
You smile and bless the day that you were born.
Yes, that's my dream, my lovely dream of homeland,
And though I thought a rover I could be,
It's soon I found I left my heart behind me,
Within that lovely cottage by the Lee.

"Could I Have This Dance For The Rest Of My Life"

"Could I Have This Dance For The Rest Of My Life"


I'll always remember the song they were playin',
The first time we danced and I knew,
As we swayed to the music and held to each other,
I fell in love with you.

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?

I'll always remember that magic moment,
When I held you close to me.
'Cause we moved together, I knew forever,
You're all I'll ever need

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?

[Chorus]

"Crush On You"

"Crush On You"


It's 4 o'clock in the morning
Somehow I still can't sleep
I've been tossing and turning
But I'm slowly learning
The questions are running deep
Never had this feeling before
Is it love
I just don't know any more
But every time I see your face
My heart beats at a faster pace

And I don't understand it
Don't know the right words to say
When we meet face to face
I have to look away (I have to look away)

'Cause baby I've a crush on you
You know it's true
And I can't get you out of my mind
Baby I've a crush on you
You feel it too
I can see it in the way that you smile

Love may come, love may go
If we don't try it, we'll never know
Deep inside I hope that it's true
I've got a crush on you

Sometimes I see you around town
The way the wind blows in your hair
You look so refind
I'm out of my mind
But you don't even know that I'm there

Just want to run up and hold you
And tell you what's going on in my head
And you walk on by
You give me the eye
And I choose silence instead

And I don't understand it
Don't know the right words to say
When we meet face to face
I have to look away (I have to look away)

'Cause baby I've a crush on you
You know it's true
And I can't get you out of my mind
Baby I've a crush on you
You feel it too
I can see it in the way that you smile

Love may come, love may go
If we don't try it, we'll never know
Deep inside I hope that it's true
I've got a crush on you

I've got a crush on you

Babe, I've got a crush on you

"Cryin' Time"

"Cryin' Time"


Oh, it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling Oooh
That it won't be long before it's crying time

Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder (fonder)
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger (stronger)
If I lived to be a hundred years old

Oh, it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling. Yeah now
That it won't be long before it's crying time

Now you say you've found someone that you love better (better)
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow ('morrow)
Crying time will start when you walk out the door

Oh, it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling. Alright now
That it won't be long before it's crying time
That it won't be long before it's crying time
