"Why Me"

"Why Me"


I wake up while you lie sleepin'
I take one look at you and wonder
Am I still dreamin'
Are you some kind of angel
Come down to save me
Or just some place my imagination's tryin' to take me
What have I done to deserve what I feel
You give me somethin' that's too good to be real
How does a treasure like you fall into my hands
I need to know just one thing
I still don't understand

[Chorus:]
Why do you love me
Why do you give so much
How do you heal the pain within me
Is it the power of your touch
Now that you've opened up the heavens
For this heart of mine to see
I've become the richest man that I could ever be
Baby why, baby why me
Why me, Why me

I ain't got a clue, maybe just a notion
Sometimes I'm helplessly adrift out in the ocean
I feel like a child with one sole intention
In search of an answer that defies all comprehension

I'm in too deep but that's what you're all about
Got no hope or desire of finding my way out
How does a treasure like you fall into my hands
I need to know that one thing
Can ya help me understand

[Chorus 2x]

Why do you love me
Why do you give so much
How do you heal the pain within me
Is it the power of your touch
Now that you've opened up the heavens
For this heart of mine to see
I've become the richest man that I could ever be
Baby why, baby why me

Could've been anyone in this world, why me
Every lesson that I've learned
You've come to me and shown me
What it means to be loved(X2)

[Chorus 2x]

Why me, why me, why me, why me
Help me understand just what you've done to me
'Cause I'm the richest man that I could ever be
Tell me why, tell me why, baby

"Yesterday"
(originally by The Beatles)



Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks like they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly

[Chorus:]
Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday

[Chorus]

"You Are My Sunshine"

"You Are My Sunshine"


The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.

[Chorus:]
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I miss you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all some day:

[Chorus]

You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all my dreams:

[Chorus]

"You Comfort Me"

"You Comfort Me"




Sometimes it's tough to make it through the day
It's hard enough when all your dreams
Just seem so far away
I step outside to face a shade of gray, oh

But even when darkness falls
I look into your eyes and I escape

Baby, you comfort me
Only you remind me to breathe
When my life becomes invisible
You're the only light I need
Baby, you, you comfort me

The faces change when time is on your side
The hand you trust can suddenly become a plate of lies
The winds of war can leave no place to hide, oh no

Until I hear a voice that calls
Lifts me up and carries me away

Baby, you comfort me
Only you remind me to breathe
When life makes me a prisoner
It's your love that sets me free
Baby, you, you comfort me

My shelter from the rage of the storm
You take me to the place in time
Where my soul lift safe and warm

Until I hear a voice that calls
Lifts me up and carries me away

Baby, you comfort me
Only you can make me believe
When the truth becomes invisible
You're the only light I need

When life makes me a prisoner
It's your love that sets me free
Baby, you, only you
Baby, you, you comfort me, oh yeah

"You Don't Know Me"
(originally by Eddy Arnold)

"You Don't Know Me"
(originally by Eddy Arnold)



You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one
Who thinks of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
Longs to hold you tight
Oh I am just a friend
That's all I've ever been
Cause you don't know me

Well I never knew the art of making love
No my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh you will never know
The one who loves you so
Cause you don't know me

Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh you will never know
The one who loves you so
Cause you don't know me
No, you don't know me

"You Don't Want Me Bad Enough"

"You Don't Want Me Bad Enough"


Here ya come with that song on your face
Telling me with tears in your eyes
How ya made a big mistake
Now ya say ya realize
Was I just suppose to fade away
Into the lonely night

Just waitin' for the day
You would say you've learned your lesson well
Livin' without my love was hell
And I would believe every word that you say
But I know when I just look in your eyes

[Chorus:]
You don't want me bad enough
You don't want me bad enough right now
I don't think you've had enough
Baby you don't want me bad enough right now

Maybe you could take some time
Think about the plans we once made
Before ya put your dreams on the line
Think about the price to be paid
Was I suppose to open up the door

And carry on just like it was before
I hope you understand it's not the end
But I'm not goin' through this scene again
And I do believe every word that you say
But I know when I just look in your eyes

[Chorus]

Love you'll learn, is a double-edged blade
Now the tables are turned
And it cuts both ways
If you're ready for love
Then I want you to stay
But this time, yeh
This time, I've gotta be sure, yeh

[Chorus]

You don't want me bad enough
You don't want me bad enough

"You Go To My Head"

"You Go To My Head"



You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two

The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be

You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head

"You Keep Me Hanging On"

"You Keep Me Hanging On"



Set me free, why don't you, babe?
Get out my life, why don't you, babe?
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
You don't really need me
You just keep me hangin' on

Why do you keep coming around
Playing with my heart
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a new start
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me, hey

Set me free, why don't you, baby?
Get out my life, why don't you, babe? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
You don't really need me
You just keep me hangin' on

You say although we broke up
You still wanna be just friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again?

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Set me free, why don't you, babe?
Get out my life, why don't you, babe? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on

You claim you still care about me
But your heart and soul need to be free
Now that you've got your freedom
You still wanna hold on to me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else, hey

Just let me be a man about it
Just set me free (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
You don't care a thing about me
You're just using me (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Go on, get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on

You don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on

Set me free, why don't you, baby?
Get out my life, why don't you, babe? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

"You Mean More To Me"


If you need me, know I'll soon be with you
Just call me, I'll give you all the love

Didn't you see the look on my face today
You know I'll always be your slave

And when you look into my eyes
You know I'll love you all my life

You know you shine on me in oh, so many ways
I guess I'm only trying to say
My heart is yours and yours to stay

But oh, it's lasted for so long

Now I find myself wanting
To marry you
And take you home, wo
