"Standing In The Shadows Of Love"

"Standing In The Shadows Of Love"


Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm just waitin' for the heartaches to come

I want to run but there's no place to go
'cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love the love I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
'Cause you've taking away all my reason for living
When you pushed aside all the love I been giving

Didn't I treat you right now baby didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I
Don't you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

All alone I'm destined to be
with misery my only company
Might come today, might come tomorrow
but it's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow
Now don't your conscience kind of bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I done for you
Now hold on a minute

Didn't I treat you right now honey didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I
So don't you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

I want to run but there's no place to go
'cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love the love that I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
Now don't your conscience kinda, kinda bother you
How can you watch me cry
after all the things I done for you

Didn't I treat you right now baby didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you couldn't I
Didn't I do right by you didn't I
Didn't I screw you right now

Kept you in luxury didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you didn't I
Didn't I treat you right now didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I

I'm trying hard not to cry
You know my crying ain't gonna help me now
Without your love the love that I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
So don't you leave me

Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

"Stardust"

"Stardust"


And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadow of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart

You wandered down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now a stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by

Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you

When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

Beside the garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew

Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

"Stay With Me"

"Stay With Me"


In the morning
Don't say you love me
Cause I'll only kick you out of the door

I know your name is Rita
Cause your perfum smelling sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor
guitar

Won't need to much pursuading
I don't mean to sound degrading
But with a face like that
You got nothing to laugh about

Red lips hair and fingernails
I hear your a mean old jezabel
Lets go up stairs and read my tarot cards

Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me

Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me

So in the morning
Please don't say you love me
Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door

Yea I'll pay your cab fare home
You can even use my best colonge
Just don't be here in the morning when I wake up

Stay with me
Stay with me
Cause tonight you better stay with me
Sit down, get up, get down

Stay with me
Stay with me
Cause tonight your going stay with me
Hey, whats your name again
oh no, get down, wooo

"Still Love You"

"Still Love You"


I was told by a good friend
you were untouchable, out of my reach.
But the first time ever I saw you,
I spilled my cherry lime over your dress.
You said, "Don't you worry, it's not my best one."
First encounter, hardly the best.

But I would not change a thing
if I could do it all over again.
All I'm tryin' to say in my awkward way is,
"I still love you."

Didn't I try to impress you,
but my old Chevy van kept breakin' down.
And my one room over the drugstore,
we watched the neon lights go out over town.

And some nights we'd go out dancin',
come home singin' by the Erie Canal.
two hearts gently poundin'
as that mornin' train came janglin' through.

But I would not change a thing
if I could do it all over again.
All I'm tryin' to say in my awkward way is,
"I still love you."

Well darlin', didn't I promise
I'd never go so far away again?
But here I am writin' this letter;
goodbye to you, my love, see you again.

But I would not change a thing
if I could do it all over again.
All I'm tryin' to say in my awkward way is,
"I still love you."

"Still The Same"
(originally by Bob Seger)

"Still The Same"
(originally by Bob Seger)



You always won, everytime you placed a bet
You're still damn good, no one's gotten to you yet
Everytime they were sure they had you caught
You were quicker than they thought
You'd just turn your back and walk
You always said, the cards would never do you wrong
The trick you said was never piay the game too long
A gambler's share, the only risk that you would take
The only loss you could forsake
The only bluff you couldn't fake

And you're still the same
I caught up with you yesterday
Moving game to game
No one standing in your way
Turning on the charm
Long enough to get you by
You're still the same
You still aim high

There you stood, everybody watched you play
I just turned and walked away
I had nothing left to say

'Cause you're still the same
You're still the same
Moving game to game
Some thlngs never change
You're still the same

"Stone Cold Sober"

"Stone Cold Sober"


Never get to bed before sunup,
alway get caught in the rain;
sometimes I might get in trouble,
never was one to complain.
Now gentleman, you must agree
ain't it worth it when you're out on cloud thirty-three
to be stone cold sober again,
down in the alley again,
stone cold sober again.

Never found a dime in a gutter,
always get my best friends drunk.
If the pres'dent tries to call me,
say " Rodney, come on over for lunch";
I'd say, " Gentlemen, exuse me please
but I'm busy with my buddies up on cloud thirty-three."
Yeah, stone cold sober again,
down in the alley again,
stone cold sober again.

Sunday is a drag, so forget it,
Monday you can make up for that;
Tuesday, take a taste for dinner,
if you're all right spend it in bed.
But on Thursday prepare for your weekend
and let Friday disappear into Saturday mornin'
when you're stone cold sober again,
down in the alley again,
stone cold sober again.
stone cold sober again,
down in the alley again,
stone cold sober again.

I don't mind stone cold sober again,
down in the alley again,
stone cold sober again.

"Strangers Again"

"Strangers Again"


Here we go babe putting each other down
I don't know how long this love will last
if we keep kicking it around
We threaten each other with leaving
neither one of us giving in
We're walking on thin ice baby
I don't wanna see it end

And oh I've never let any woman this close to me
Don't let me down
put in some trust don't give up on us
Strangers again
We should talk it over
Strangers again
Let's make love and say we're sorry
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go

I can't stand the silence
when we don't get along
Both of us believing
that the other must surely be wrong
So strange how two people
can be so very cruel
Both of us should know by now
neither one's the other one's fool

And oh I've never let any woman this close to me
So don't let me down
put in some trust don't give up on us
Strangers again
We should talk it over
Strangers again
Let's make love and say we're sorry
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go

Oh I've never let any woman this close to me
So don't let me down
Why don't ya put in some trust
don't give up on us
Strangers again
We should talk it over
Strangers again
Let's make love and say we're sorry
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go
Strangers again
I don't know what happened
Strangers again
Yesterday was full of passion
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go

"Street Fighting Man"

"Street Fighting Man"


Everywhere I hear the sound
of marching, charging feet boy
'Cause the summer's here
and the time is right for
fighting in the street boy

Hey think the time is right
for a palace revolution
Where I live the game to play
is just to compromise my solution

What can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause you see bein' London town
there's just no other place
for a street fighting man

Hey did I tell you that my name
was called disturbance
And I'll shout and scream
and I'll kill the king and
I'll rail at all his servants

What can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause you see bein' London town
there's just no place
for a street fighting man

Everywhere I hear the sound
of marching, charging feet boy
'Cause the summer's here
and the time is right for
fighting in the street boy

What can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause you see bein' London town
there's just no other place
for a street fighting man

"Sunny Side Of The Street"

"Sunny Side Of The Street"


Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worry at the doorstep
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear that pitter pat or that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street.

I used to walk in the shade with all them blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid 'cause this rover crossed over.

If I never had a cent, I'll be as rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street, sunny side of the street.

I used to walk in the shade with all them blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid 'cause this rover crossed over.

If I never had a cent I'll be as loaded as old Rockefeller
With that gold dust 'round my feet on the sunny side, on the side, side of the street, oh yeah.

"Superstar"

"Superstar"


Feels like I'm goin' insane
I'm loosin' my brain
I can't stand the pain I'm feelin'
Open my arms, they don't reach
I want you to teach me
What do I do now, baby
What do I do now, baby

Cry every day I exist
I wanna be missed
I wanna be needed, baby
Don't wanna put on a show
So where do I go
and what do I do now, baby
what do I do now, baby

Sometimes it seems to me
Like my whole worlds fallin' apart
I miss you so much, dear
Won't you come back to my arms
Oh yeah

Thoughts spinnin' round in my head
the things that you said
I wanna be sleepin', baby
Open my eyes, there's no one
The damage is done
Oh what do I do now, baby
what do I do now, baby
what do I do now, baby
