"Singing The Blues"

"Singing The Blues"



Well I never felt more like singing the blues
Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear why'd you do me this way

Well I never felt more like crying all night
Cause everything's wrong and nothing ain't right
Without you you got me singing the blues

The moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do but cry over you

Well I never felt more like running away
But why should I go cause I couldn't stay
Without you you got me singing the blues

Well I never felt more like running away...

"Sixteen Weeks"

"Sixteen Weeks"



Sixteen weeks ago tonight I let you walk away
I threw a kiss and smiled as you walked out the door
But I've done some thinkin', lately, and I find
That it isn't half as funny as before

Sixteen weeks ago tonight I really played a fool
Made a big mistake, but everybody does
Lately, though, I've done some cryin' 'cause I find
That it isn't half as funny as it was

Didn't miss you until I dreamed about some things we used to do
Then I realized how long you'd been away
Don't know how much more of this my heart can take
Wish I'd known the difference sixteen weeks could make

Didn't miss you until I dreamed about some things we used to do
Then I realized how long you'd been away
Don't know how much more of this my heart can take
Wish I'd known the difference sixteen weeks could make

"Sixty-Two's Most Promising Fool"

"Sixty-Two's Most Promising Fool"


Day in, day out you're the one I think about
Can't erase your sweet face from my mind
It's true, so true I'm still in love with only you
Wonder if I ever cross your mind

Every day is Blue Monday to live without you
And the bittersweet memories keep me feelin' blue
Should your world start to tumble and your castle should fall
Reach for me I won't be far at all

[Spoken]
Ya know it's been a long time now, honey, since I last saw ya.
And I guess by now you've gone a long way toward forgettin' we ever met.
But it's still the same with me, I guess even if I wanted to I couldn't forget.
I think a lot about the night ya told me ya loved me.
I wonder if you were just acting. And if you were then you deserve some kind
Of an award for being able to act so mean and so cruel.
And if that's true then don't you think I should be nominated as 1962's most promising fool?
I remember the night we called it quits. I knew that our breakup was away overdue.
But have you ever found something that ya really wanted, even though you knew you couldn't keep it?
Ya hated to let go of it. Well that's the way I felt about you.
At the time everything seemed so right but now I know that it was all wrong.
I know that you'll manage to get by without me.
As for me, well, I guess I'll get along.

[Sing]
Should your world start to tumble and your castle should fall
Reach for me I won't be far at all

"Smoking Cigarettes Drinking Coffee Blues"

"Smoking Cigarettes Drinking Coffee Blues"



I guess I'll take a walk tonight
I know that I can't sleep
And I won't go to bed at all
I'll just lay there and weep
Instead, I'll make our favorite spot
That's what I think I'll do
I got those smokin' cigarettes
And drinkin' coffee blues

Smokin' cigarettes
And drinkin' coffee all night long
Wondrin' how a love so right
Could suddenly go wrong
I bet there's a lot of people
Know the misery I go thru
I've got those smokin' cigarettes
And drinkin' coffee blues

Sittin' at a table
Where I carved my baby's name
Won'drin' how our love went wrong
Wonderin' who's to blame
Listenin' while the juke box
Plays a song that makes me blue
Another cup of coffee
Then a cigarette or two

"Some Memories Just Won't Die"

"Some Memories Just Won't Die"



You say it's over
You way it's through
It was a long long time ago
And he means nothing to you
Oh but I heard you whisper
Someone's name in your sleep last night
Baby admit it
Some memories just won't die

Oh some memories just won't die
Some feelings just won't leave
Oh no matter how hard you try
And I know every now and then
You still think of him
I see it in your eyes
Some memories just won't die

I thought my loving
Would help you forget
But something tells me
You're not over him yet
Something's haunting you
Way down deep inside
Am I losing you
To a memory that won't die

And some memories just won't die
Some feelings just won't leave
Oh no matter how hard you try
And I know every now and then
You still think of him
I see it in your eyes
Some memories just won't die

"Sometimes Love"

"Sometimes Love"



Sometimes love is like a clear day
And you can almost see forever
When the skies are overcast
With threatining clouds of never

Like a blanket they descend
Bringing chilly winds of sorrow
As the land of love grows dim
You can't even see tomorrow

Come the storms of disappointment
Come the rains of deep dispair
Howling winds of desperation
There's no shelter anywhere

Then the storm begins to weaken
Slow at first, but finally dies
Suddenly you see tomorrow
As you do you realize

Sometimes love is like a clear day
And you can almost see forever

"Song Of The Bandit"

"Song Of The Bandit"



Long long ago in old Wyoming lived a maid
Fair as the sweetest flower bloomin' in the shade
She loved a bandit bold who roamed the prairie o'er
And every night she'd listen for his call
Then far the west his voice came ringing ridin' wild horse he came singing
Hee li oli yip ioli ay
Hee li oli yip ioli yip ay oli ya he brings a token of his love
Swift as the wind he goes for high as the hills he knows she's waiting
For his hee li oli yip ioli ay

One day he rode away but never to return
Danger was waitin' now his love must never yearn
Long days and lonely nights she waited all in vain
Till winter passed and summer came again
Still every night when the moon came shining for his song her heart was pining
Hee li oli yip ioli ay
Hee li oli yip ioli...

One night an angel brought a message from her love
Told her he waited in the starry sky above
Softly she closed her eyes and bade the angel go
And then the whole world echoed to his song
For straight down a moonbeam he came ridin' out of the sky on a winged horse glidin'
Hee li oli yip ioli ay
Hee li oli yip ioli...
Hee li oli yip ioli ay
hee li oli yip ioli ay singin'
hee li oli yip ioli ay

"Song Of The Islands"

"Song Of The Islands"



Islands of Hawaii where skies are blue are calling me
Ebony air and golden moonlight caress the way beyond of Waikiki
Valleys with their rainbows your mountain's green as the deep blue sea
Your frangrant flowers and dreamy music you nigh and sing along Aloha to me

Islands of Hawaii where skies are blue are calling me
Ebony air and golden moonlight caress the way beyond of Waikiki
Valleys with their rainbows your mountain's green as the deep blue sea
Your frangrant flowers and dreamy music you nigh and sing along Aloha to me

"Sorting Memories"

"Sorting Memories"



If you've ever spent a night, your mind in torture
With your thoughts so disarranged you couldn't sleep
Then you wish that you could sort out all your memories
And set aside just the ones you wanna keep

I have learned how to sort out my memories
And the ones that hurt I've learned to push aside
And with tears I've built a wall of just the sad ones
There the ones of you I've hidden deep inside

If you've spent one night like this, well, then you're lucky
'Cause I've spent a million thinkin' of the things we've done
And I've learned how to cry and go on livin'
And to sort out my memories one by one

I have learned how to sort out my memories
And the ones that hurt I've learned to push aside
And with tears I've built a wall of just the sad ones
There the ones of you I've hidden deep inside

"South Of The Border"

"South Of The Border"



(Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!)
(Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!)

South of the border, down Mexico way,
That's where I fell in love
When stars above came out to play,
And now as they wander, my thoughts ever stray
South of the border, down Mexico way.

And she sighed as she whispered "manana,"
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered "manana,"
For our tomorrow never came.

South of the border, I rode back one day.
There in a veil of white by candlelight,
She knelt to pray.
The mission bells told me that I mustn't stay
South of the border, down Mexico way.

Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!
Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!
