"Summer Is Over"

"Summer Is Over"



The night runs away with the day
The grass that was green is now hay
The world goes around without even a sound
And it looks like the summer is over

The rains tumble down in the sky
Young swallows have learned how to fly
The leaves that were green are no longer so green
And it looks like the summer is over

The sun and the moon take turns in the sky
The days drift on by too soon
The meadows are kissed by a cool autumn mist
Far away now is June

The birds fly away to the sun
The leaves touch the ground one by one
The breeze hurries by without even goodbye
And it looks like the summer is over

The sun and the moon take turns in the sky
The days drift on by too soon
The meadows are kissed by a cool autumn mist
Far away now is June

The birds fly away to the sun
The leaves touch the ground one by one
The breeze hurries by without even goodbye
And it looks like the summer is over

And it looks like the summer is over

"Sunny"
(originally by Bobby Hebb)



Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
Oh, the dark days are done
The bright days are here
My sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true
I love you

Sunny, thank you for that sunshine bouquet
Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
Now I feel ten feet tall
Sunny one so true
I love you

Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see
Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to Z
My life was torn like windblown sand
And then a rock was formed when we held hands
Sunny one so true
I love you

Sunny, thank for that smile upon your face
Sunny, thank you for that gleam that flows with grace
You're my spark of nature's fire
You're my sweet complete desire
Sunny one so true
I love you

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
The dark days are done
The bright days are here
My sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true
Sunny one so true
Sunny one so true
I love you

"Take Another Little Piece Of My Heart"

"Take Another Little Piece Of My Heart"



Didn't I make you feel
Like you were the only man?
Didn't I give you everything
A woman possibly can?
But with all the love I give you
It's never enough
I'm gonna show you baby
That a woman can be tough
So come on, come on, come on, come on

(Take it)
Take another little piece of my heart, now baby
(Break it)
Break another little bit of my heart, now honey
(Have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good

Yeah, out on the street
And you know deep down in your heart
That ain't right
I know you never never hear me
When I cry at night

I tell myself that I can't stand the pain
But when you hold me in your arms I say it again
So come on come on, come on, come on and

(Take it)
Take another little piece of my heart, now baby
(Break it)
Break another little bit of my heart, now honey
You'd better have a
Have another little piece of my heart, now baby
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good

You'd better
(Take it)
Take another little bit of my heart, now baby
(Break it)
Take another little bit of my heart honey, now baby
You'd better
(Have a)
Have another little piece of my heart, now baby
You'd better
Take it
Take another little bit of my heart, now baby

"Take Me For A Little While"

"Take Me For A Little While"



I've been trying
To make you love me
But everything I try
Just takes you further from me

You don't love me, oh no
So you treat me cruel
But no matter how you hurt me
I'll always be your fool

But if you don't want me forever
And if you don't need me forever
And if you can't love me forever
Take me for a little while
So I can hold you, baby
So I can make you want me

I gotta stop it
There should be a law
'Cause everytime you put me down
I love you more

And I feel so helpless
And it ain't funny
'Cause deep down inside I know
You're never gonna love me

But if you don't want me forever
And if you don't need me forever
And if you can't love me forever
Take me for a little while
So I can hold you, baby
So I can make you want me

I got to have you baby
Don't you know anyway you want me I'm yours
Won't you have me baby?
Anyway you want me I'm yours
Anything you want me to do

"That Old Sweet Roll"

"That Old Sweet Roll"



Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi
Gonna find me a piece of the sky
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
Singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-ho

Listen, I've been down so low
That the bottom looked like up
Once I felt like second saves
Was enough to fill my cup
Now I've offered all I have
But it ain't no way to live
Being taken by the ones who have
The least amount to give

Singing hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi
Got to find me a piece of the sky
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
Singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho

I wanna tell you
Once I met the devil
He was mighty slick
Tempted me with worldly goods
Said I could have my pick
But when he laid the paper on me
And showed me where to sign
I said "Thank you very kindly
But I'm in too great a need of mine"

Singing hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi, oh
Got to find me a piece of that sky
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
Singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho, yeah

Hi-de-hi-de-ho
Hi-de-hi-de-ho, yeah
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
Hi-de-hi-de-hi
Talking 'bout hi-de-hi-de-ho

"That's How Heartaches Are Made"

"That's How Heartaches Are Made"



(That's how heartaches are made)
(That's how heartaches are made)
They told me I was such a fool to love you
They say that you're the kind who'd never be true
Pretty soon the day would come
When I'd be the sorry one
But I said that I'm not afraid, well
That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made

I went ahead and my heart opened the door
I gave you so much love no-one could want more
You pretended to be mine
How could you be so unkind?
With all the other girls you played, well
That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made

That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made

I know you're not sincere
And you'll never be
But still I want your kisses so desperately
I can never let you go
Baby, you know I know
Every rule of love you disobeyed, well
That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made

"That's The Kinda Love I Got For You"

"That's The Kinda Love I Got For You"



From a mountain high to a valley low
Stronger than the strongest and even more
Running deep, as deep can go
And can even turn your darkest clouds to falling snow

That's the kinda love I got for you, yeah
That's the kinda love I got for you-hoo-oo
I can't help myself
I can't help myself

Making flowers grow on barren land, yeah
Ever growin', growin' long
Heaven only knows just how much it grows, ah

That's the kinda love I got for you-oo
That's the kinda love I got for you-hoo-oo
I can't help myself

Baby, I just can't help myself, no

I'm playing with fire
I've lost control, yeah
Oh this lovely feeling
Burns to my very soul
Burning hot, as hot as I can go
Can't seem to help myself
Just got to let you know

That's the kinda love I got for you
That's the kinda love I got for you-hoo-hoo
That's the kinda love I got for you, baby
That's the kinda love I got for, yeah
Oh, come and get it, honey
Can't help myself

This love of mine
Oh, it's getting stronger
Can't help myself
Can't wait much longer, yeah
I feel it for you, yeah
Oh, that's the kinda love I got for you
That's the kinda love I got for you, yeah

"The Colour Of Your Eyes"

"The Colour Of Your Eyes"



Who am I
To say you didn't love me?
When I can't remember
The colour of your eyes
The colour of your eyes

I don't know
How I missed loving you
Still I can't remember
The colour of your eyes
The colour of your eyes

Why didn't you see me
Standing there
Standing there with dreams of love?
To fill the empty shades of grey

I can see
Now that you're leaving me
All the shades of autumn
In the colour of your eyes
The colour of your eyes
The colour of your eyes
The colour of your eyes
The colour of your eyes

"The Look Of Love"

"The Look Of Love"



The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your smile can't disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so
