"Crying My Heart Out Over You"

"Crying My Heart Out Over You"

Off somewhere the music's playing soft and low
And another holds the one that I love so
I was blind, I could not see that you meant the world to me
And like a fool I stood and watched you go

Now, I'm crying my heart out over you
Those blue eyes now they smile at someone new
Ever since you went away I die a little more each day
While I'm crying my heart out over you

Each night I climb the stairs up to my room
I feel I hear you whisper in the gloom
I miss your picture on the wall and your footsteps in the hall
While I'm crying my heart out over you

Now, I'm crying my heart out over you
Those blue eyes now they smile at someone new
Ever since you went away I die a little more each day
While I'm crying my heart out over you

"Crystal Chandeliers"

"Crystal Chandeliers"

Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall
The marble statuettes are standing stately in the hall
But will the timely crowd that has you laughing loud help you dry your tears
When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers

I never did fit in too well with the folks you knew
And it's plain to see that the likes of me don't fit with you
So you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do
And you turned away from the love I offered you
Oh the crystal chandeliers...

I see your picture in the news most every day
You're the chosen girl of the social world so the stories say
But a paper smile only lasts a while then it fades away
And the love we knew will come home to you some day
Oh the crystal chandeliers...
When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers

"Da Doo Ron Ron"

"Da Doo Ron Ron"

I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still.
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron.
Someboy told me that his name was bill.
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron.

Yes, my heart stood still.
Yes, his name was bill.
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron.

He knew what he was doin' when he caught my eye.
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron.
He looked so quiet but my oh my.
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron.

Yes, he caught my eye.
Yes, but my oh my.
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron.

Picked me up at seven and he looked so fine.
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron.
Someday soon I'm gonna make him mine.
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron.

Yes, he looked so fine.
Yes, I'll make him mine.
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron.

"Danny Boy"

"Danny Boy"

O Danny boy
The pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen
And down the
Mountainside
The summer's gone
And all the flowers
Are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you
Must go
And I must bide.
But come ye back
When summer's
In the meadow
Or when the valley's
Hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine
Or in shadow
O Danny boy
O Danny boy
I love you so.

And if ye come
When all the flowers are dying
If I am dead
As dead
I well may be
You'll come and find
The place where I am lying
You bend and say an Ave there for me.

And I shall hear
Though soft
Your tread above me
And all my grave
Shall warmer
Sweeter be
Then you will bend
And wisper that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you
Come to me.

"Daydream Believer"

"Daydream Believer"

Oh I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the blue bird as she sings
The six-o'clock alarm would never ring
But six rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
The shaving razor's cold and it stings

Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen

You once thought of me
As a white knight on his steed
Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, our good times start and end
Without all I want to spend
But how much baby do we really need

Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen

"Desiderata"

"Desiderata"

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right...
Desira - desiderata
Desidera - ta

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
And remember what peace there may be, in silence.
As far as possible without surrender,
Be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly,
And listen to others,
Even the dull and ignorant;
They too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
They are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
You may become vane and bitter;

For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
No less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Enjoy your achivements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career,
However humble;
It is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
For the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
Many persons strive for high ideals;
And everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especialy do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
For in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
It is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the council of the years,
Gracefully serrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline;
Be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
No less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
No doubt the universe is unfolding;
As it should.

Therefore be at peace with god,
Whatever you conceive him to be,
And whatever your labours and aspirations,
In the noisey confusion of life,
Keep peace with your soul.

With all it's sham,
Drudgery and broken dreams,
It is still a beautiful world.
Be careful. strive to be happy.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here.
You are a child of the universe.

"Detroit City"

"Detroit City"

I want to go home, I want to go home,
Oh Lord, I want to go home.

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city,
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home,
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother,
And I dreamed about that girl, who's been waitin' for so long

I want to go home, I want to go home,
Oh Lord, I want to go home

Home folks think I'm big in Detroit city,
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine,
But by day I make the cars, and by night I make the bars,
If only they could read between the lines

I want to go home, I want to go home,
Oh Lord, I want to go home

You know, I rode a freight train north to Detroit city,
And after all these years I find I've just been wasting my time,
So I think I'll take my foolish pride, put it on a southbound freight and ride,
Go on back to the ones I left, who've been waitin' for so long

I want to go home, I want to go home,
Oh Lord, I want to go home.

"Distant Drums"

"Distant Drums"

I hear the sound of distant drums,
Far away, far away.
And if they call for me to come,
Then I must go, and you must stay.
So, Mary, marry me, let's not wait.
Let's share all the time we can before it's too late.
Love me now, for now is all the time there may be.
If you love me, Mary, Mary, marry me.

I hear the sound of bugles blowing,
Far away, far away.
And if they call, then I must go
Across the sea, so wild and gray.
So, Mary, marry me, let's not wait,
Or the distant drums might change our wedding day.
Love me now, for now is all the time there may be.
If you love me, Mary, Mary, marry me.

"Do You Wanna Dance"

"Do You Wanna Dance"

Do you want to dance and hold my hand?
Tell me baby I'm your lover man
Oh baby, do you want to dance?

Do you do you do you do you want to dance?
Do you do you do you do you want to dance?
Do you do you do you do you want to dance?

Well do you want to dance under the moonlight?
Squeeze me baby all through the night
Oh baby, do you want to dance?

Well do you want to dance under the moonlight?
Squeeze me baby all through the night
Oh baby, do you want to dance?

"Don't Be Angry"

"Don't Be Angry"

Don't be angry with me darling if I fail to understand
All your little whims and wishes all the time
Just remember that I'm dumb I guess like any foolish man
And my head stays sorta foggy 'cause you're mine.

Well, I recall the first time that I flirted with you dear
When I jokingly said come and be my bride
Now the time has turned the pages it's the sweetest joke on earth
That I have you dear forever by my side.

Maybe someday you're gonna hurt me I've been hurting of before
Only God can know and time alone will tell
But in the mean time I'll be loving you with all my heart and soul
And pray God to let it last if it's his will.

So don't be angry with me darling if I fail to understand
All your little whims and wishes all the time
Just remember that I'm dumb I guess like any foolish man
And my head stays sorta foggy 'cause you're mine.
