"Fortune Of The Night"

"Fortune Of The Night"



Fortune of the night
Callin' out my name
And saying she'll be mine tonight
Fortune of the night

Oh, my heart is tellin' me
Oh, I better put a move on
If she got away
Then not a day would go by
Without some blue song

All my life,
I've waited for just tonight
To say that I love her
And all this time
I've wanted to call her mine
And show her I love her

Fortune of the night, callin' out my name
And saying I will find her
Fortune of the night,
Is there any doubt
I'll need to have her by my side
Fortune of the night

And oh,
I'm really movin' now 'cause
Oh, I would feel like a fool, yeah
If she got away
They'd only say
the rumors would truly be true, yeah
That all this time,
I waited to call you mine
And you got to know it

Fortune of the night
Callin' out my name
And saying I will find her
Fortune of the night
Isn't any doubt
I'll need to have you by my side
Fortune of the night
To want her, to love her
oh I do
Yeah

And all my life
I waited for all my life
To tell her that I love her
Now's my time
I've waited, but now's my time
To show her that I love her

Fortune of the night
Callin' out to me
And saying I was chosen.
Fortune of the night
Tellin' me that
We'll be there until the morning light
Fortune of the night

Fortune of the night
I heard you callin'
Are you gonna keep an eye on me tonight
Fortune of the night
Are you gonna sing your song
With me sometime?
Fortune of the night
Are you gonna shine your light on me
And make her mine

"Free Life"

"Free Life"



Free life
Scratch on my head
Pick me a tune
Sing it like a black man
Oh, oh, oh, mm, mm, mm

Aw Free life
You know my name
I'll leave on a light
And burn it in the window
Oh, oh, oh, mm, mm, mm

Talking 'bout round, brown ladies
And maybe some wine
All be fine

If she ain't no belle, hell, it's okay
I won't pay no mind
We'll just have us a time

Free life
I'll wait right here
But I ain't no kid
Believin' in the bible
Oh, oh, oh, mm, mm, mm
Ah, free life

"Free Man In Paris"

"Free Man In Paris"



The way I see it,
You just can't win it.
Everybody's in it for their own gain
You can't please 'em all
There's always somebody calling you down

And I do my best
And I do good business
There's a lot of people asking for my time
They're trying to get ahead
They're trying to be a good friend of mine

I was a free man in Paris
I was unfettered and alive
There was nobody to call me up for favors
And no one's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I've taken on
Stokin' the star maker machinery
Behind the popular song

I deal in dreamers
And telephone schemers
Lately I wonder what I do it for
If l had my way, I'd walk through that door
And wander down the Champs Elysees
Going cafe to cabaret
Thinking how I'll feel when I find
That very good friend of mine

I was a free man in Paris
I was unfettered and alive
There was nobody to call me up for favors
And no one's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I've taken on
Stokin' the star maker machinery
Behind the popular song

I deal in dreamers
And telephone schemers
Lately I wonder what I do it for
If l had my way
I'd walk through that door
And wander down the Champs Elysees
Going cafe to cabaret
Thinking how I'll feel when I find
That very good friend of mine

"Front Page Story"

"Front Page Story"



She wakes up
She's leaving
She sets out so assured
That she can find
The life that she believes in

She's glad now
It's over
She never should of gotten so involved
At least that's what she told him

And it' ain't a Front Page Story
Won't even make the papers
Somebody breaks a heart in two
And it happens much too often
Won't ever make the headlines
Somebody's broken heart ain't new
Except when it happens to you

He wonders
What happened
He thinks of all the things
He might have done
Why shouldn't she believe him

He wakes up without her
And never really knows
Just what went wrong
But it's all wrong without her

And it ain't a Front Page Story
Won't even make the papers
Somebody breaks a heart in two
And it happens much too often
Won't ever make the headlines
Another broken heart ain't new
Except when it happens to you

It ain't a Front Page Story
Won't even make the papers
Somebody breaks a heart in two
And it happens much too often
Won't ever make the headlines
Somebody's broken heart ain't new
Except when it happens to you
No no no

Won't make the headlines
Somebody breaks a heart in two

No no no
Oh no no

Somebody's broken heart ain't news
Except when it happens to you

No no no
Won't make the headlines
Somebody breaks a heart in two

No no no
Oh no no
Somebody's broken heart ain't news

"Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon"

"Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon"



Love you so much
Can't count all the ways
I'd die for you girl
And all they can say is
"He's not your kind"

They never get tired
Of puttin' me down
And I never know
When I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind

Don't you know
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man

I've been misunderstood
For all of my life
But what they're sayin',
Girl, just cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"

Well, I finally found
What I've been looking for
But if they get the chance,
They'll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby, I've done all I could

It's up to you
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man
Soon you'll need a man.....

"Gitchy Goomy"

"Gitchy Goomy"



Gitchy Goomy, gitchy gaddy
Sit you laddie down on your daddy's knee
And ain't it a nice place to be

Goggin noggin, papa's rockin'
Like a mockin' bird in a windy tree
And that ain't no place for me

Been there one time, been there two times
Been there three times
More than I care to be
But we're gonna make it through
Gitchy Goomy

Life is good, life is fine, life is warm
Life is kind, can you see it?
Love is great, love is right
Keeps you warm late at night
When you need it

Baby boy, daddy's joy, life's a toy
But you don't wanna break it
Like a sweet symphony,
All you need is the key, you can play it

Gitchy Goomy, gitchy gaddy
Sit you laddie down while I have my say
Now don't be runnin' away

Goggin noggin, papa's talkin'
Don't go walkin' off like you mean to play
Well, you can have it your way

Been there one time, been there two times
Been there three times
More than I care to say
But you're gonna be okay,
Gitchy Goomy

Life is good, life is fine, life is warm
Life is kind, can you see it?
Love is great, love is right
Keeps you warm late at night
When you need it

Baby boy, daddy's joy, life's a toy
But you don't wanna break it
Like a sweet symphony,
All you need is the key, you can play it

Been there one time, been there two times
Been there three times
More than I care to be

Seen it one time, seen it two times
Seen it three times,
Lord 'n' it's plain to see
Ah, you gonna make it through
Gitchy Goomy

You 'n me gonna make it through
Gitchy Goomy
Ah, you gonna make it through
Gitchy Goomy

"Glory Road"

"Glory Road"



Wearin' my high boots,
Got all my worldlies here in a sack
Looking for something,
Knowing that it ain't here where I'm at
Ain't looking back
I'm comin',
Ride by thumbin',
Get by bummin'
I'm on my way

Friend, have you seen glory road
Say, friend, I got a heavy load,
And I know glory road's waiting for me

Caught me a pick-up
Down from Seattle through to L.A.
Seems like those folks
Go chasin' a new star every day
Ain't gonna stay
In Nevada, through Wyomin',
Colorado I'm on my way

Friend, have you seen glory road
Say, friend, I got a heavy load,
And I know glory road's waiting for me

Met so many others
Wanted to know which way to go
Louisiana, New York City
They wanted the answer
They'd ask of me.
Friend, have you seen glory road?
Say, friend, I got a heavy load
And I know glory road's waiting for me
Rest my load,
Now I know glory road won't set me free

"God Only Knows"

"God Only Knows"



I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
'Cause God only knows
What I'd be without you

And if you should ever leave me
The world would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
But what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you

And if you should ever leave me
Life would still go on believe me
And the world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you...

"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"

"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"



God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tiding of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy....
And Joy....

"Gold Don't Rust"

"Gold Don't Rust"



I know you worry ev'ry time I go away
You wonder will these
Sweet, sweet feelings shine or fade
Well, that's a question
You don't have to ask
What heaven makes,
It always makes to last

Gold don't rust
Love don't lie
I'll be true 'til the day that I die
Trust in me, you will find
Baby,
You're the gold in this heart of mine
And that gold will shine
For a long, long time.

I wish that I could give you
What you need from me.
But what good
Is a promise or a guarantee?
Love is still a simple act of faith
And a faithful heart
Is always worth the wait

Gold don't rust
Love don't lie
I'll be true 'til the day that I die
Trust in me, you will find
Baby,
You're the gold in this heart of mine,
And that gold will shine
For a long, long time

Love is still a simple act of faith
And a faithful heart
Is always worth the wait
Gold don't rust
Love don't lie
I'll be true 'til the day that I die
Trust in me, you will find
Baby,
You're the gold in this heart of mine
And that gold will shine
For a long, long time
Baby you're the gold
In this heart of mine
And that gold will shine
For a long, long, long time
Yeah
