EBONY EYES

EBONY EYES


On a weekend pass I wouldn't have had time
To get home and marry that baby of mine
So I went to the chaplain and he authorised
Me to send for my Ebony Eyes

My Ebony Eyes was coming to me
From out of the skies on flight 1203
In an hour or two I would whisper ?I do?
To my beautiful Ebony Eyes

The plane was way overdue so I went inside to the airlines desk and I said, ?Sir, I
wonder why 1203 is so late?? He said, ?Oh, they probably took off late or they
may have run into some turbulent weather and had to alter their course.? I went
back outside and I waited at the gate and I watched the beacon light from the
control tower as it whipped through the dark ebony skies, as if it were searching for
my Ebony Eyes. And then came the announcement over the loudspeaker: Would those having relatives or friends on flight number 1203 please report to the chapel across the street at once.?

Then I felt a burning break deep inside
And I knew the heavenly ebony skies
Had taken my life's most wonderful prize
My beautiful Ebony Eyes

If I ever get to heaven I?ll bet
The first angel I?ll recognise
She'll smile at me and I know she will be
My beautiful Ebony Eyes

EMPTY BOXES

EMPTY BOXES


A beggarly, account of empty boxes
That is all I own in this world
Oh Diana, sweet Diana

To flirt and fling a young girl dressed in ribbons
Taking fancies to those like you
Oh Diana, sweet Diana

Yet you wait with morning in your hair
And now I need good reason,
But I've none to spare

You are just a leaf that I have turned
And I am like a match that slowly burns

A beggarly, account of empty boxes
That is all I own in this world

EVEN IF I HOLD IT IN MY HAND

EVEN IF I HOLD IT IN MY HAND


I thought your love would last for ever
I thought that I'd found paradise
Now that it's over I even doubt that there's a sunrise
Even though I see it with my eyes

I thought that you could never leave me
I built a world of dreams and plans
Now that you're gone I even doubt I see your picture
Even though I hold it in my hands

I thought that you could never hate me
I thought that talk was just a lie
But now that you're here telling me you've never loved me
I even wonder if I'm still alive

I thought that you could never hurt me
And as I lie here in my bed
There's even a doubt and a fear this gun will kill me
Even when I hold it to my head

FIFI THE FLEA

FIFI THE FLEA


Lucille,
You don't do your daddy's will
Lucille,
You don't do your daddy's will
There's ain't nothing to you,
But I love you still

Lucille,
Please come back where you belong
Lucille,
Please come back where you belong
I've been good to you baby,
Please don't leave me alone

I woke up this morning
Lucille was not in sight
Asked my friends about her,
All their lips were tight.

Lucille,
Please come back where you belong
I've been good to you baby,
Please don't leave me alone

Ooohhhhhh

Lucille,
You don't do your daddy's will
Lucille,
You don't do your daddy's will
There ain't nothing to you.
But I love you still

Ooohhhhhh

FOLLOWING THE SUN

FOLLOWING THE SUN


If I'm cold another day
I think I'll pack and go away
Leaving your cold heart here
Looking for love somewhere
Following the sun

If I stayed another day
You might take my dreams away
Leaving me here too long
Knowing I belong
Following the sun

You know I'm so tired of my life
Only love can make it right
But fool that I am
I'm still with you
When it's love I need tonight
I'm going to leave this place today
I'll not wish my life away
Leaving your cold heart here
Looking for love somewhere
Following the sun

You know I'm so tired of my life
Only love can make it right
But fool that I am
I'm still with you
When it's love I need tonight
I'm going to leave this place today
I'll not wish my life away
Leaving your cold heart here
Looking for love somewhere
Following the sun

Leaving your cold heart here
Looking for love somewhere

GEE BUT IT'S LONELY

GEE BUT IT'S LONELY


Got dad's car and chauffer but that's no good to half a pair
Gee but it's lonely being alone may as well go home
Got on my suit my shoes are shined all dressed up for a real good time
Gee but it's lonely being alone might as well go home
What's wrong with me that I can't find someone for my own
Why should I be left behind left to be alone
The girl I asked out told me a lie there she goes with some guy
Gee but it's lonely being alone guess I'll go on home
Guess I'll go on home guess I'll go on home guess I'll go on home

GIVE ME A FUTURE

GIVE ME A FUTURE


Oh-oh-oh-oh, say you'll be mine
Give me future
All I have is the past that a-didn't last
That a-ruins my chances with you
The years ahead hold nothing but the thought
That maybe I won't have you
Nothin' can compare to the loneliness
That forces me to plead with you
Oh-oh-oh-oh, say you'll be mine
Give me a future
Your arms to hold me tight
That's what I need
You lips, to kiss goodnight
And try to please
Your eyes, to see the love
For which I reach
Please say the words that make you mine
For all I have is the past that a-didn't last
That a-ruins my chances with you
The years ahead hold nothing but the thought
That maybe I won't have you
Nothin' can compare to the loneliness
That forces me to plead with you
Oh-oh-oh-oh, say you'll be mine
Give me a future

GIVE ME A SWEETHEART

GIVE ME A SWEETHEART


Grow me a heart that won't cheat but will beat just for me
Make me some lips that won't lie but will smile and speak sweet
Give me some eyes that are shined oh so blue
Give me a sweetheart, give me you

Give me some arms that will cling and won't mingle with friends
Make me a kiss that will stay even after it ends

Give me a touch that is tender and so true
Give me a sweetheart, give me you

Give me a touch that is tender and so true

GLITTER AND GOLD

GLITTER AND GOLD


Girl, I know what he can give you
Every single day you live you will be
Wearing Paris gowns and diamond rings
There is nothing he can't buy you
And I can not tell a lie
You know with me you'll never have those things

But glitter and gold (Glitter and gold)
Never can keep you warm at night
Glitter and gold (Glitter and gold)
Never can make the wrong love right

Girl, you're gonna find
You'll have my sweet sweet lovin' on your mind
You'll be eatin' caviar
And riding in a chauffeured car
And all your friends will say, “How lucky can she be?”
He'll be keepin' you in style
But, you'll remember all the while
The happiness you used to have with me

Glitter and gold (Glitter and gold)
Never can keep you warm at night
Glitter and gold (Glitter and gold)
Never can make the wrong love right
Girl, you're gonna find
You'll have my sweet, sweet lovin' on your mind

Glitter and gold (Glitter and gold)
Never can make the wrong love right
Girl, you're gonna find
You'll have my sweet, sweet lovin' on your mind
Glitter and gold (Glitter and gold)
Glitter and gold (Glitter and gold)
Glitter and gold (Glitter and gold)
Glitter and gold (Glitter and gold)
Glitter and gold (Glitter and gold)

GONE GONE GONE

GONE GONE GONE


Some sunny day-hay, baby
When everything seems okay, baby
You'll wake up and find out you're alone
'Cause I'll be gone, gone, gone, gone really gone
Gone, ga-gone 'cause you done me wrong

Everyone that you meet, baby
As you walk down the street, baby
Will ask you why you're walkin' all alone
Why you're on your own
Just say I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, ga-gone 'cause you done me wrong

If you change your way, baby
You might get me to stay, baby
Ya better hurry up if ya don't wanna be alone
Or I'll be gone, gone, gone, gone, really gone
