"Bye Bye Love"
(originally by The Everly Brothers)


Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna cry
Bye bye my love goodbye
There goes my baby with someone new
She sure looks happy I sure am blue

She was my baby 'tlll he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been
Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness I feel like I could die
Bye bye my love goodbye

I'm free from romance
I'm through with love
I'm through with counting the stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so free
My loving baby is through with me

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna cry
Bye bye my love goodbye
Bye bye my love goodbye

"California Blue"

"California Blue"


Working all day and the sun don't shine
Trying to get by and I'm just killing time
I feel the rain fall the whole night through
Far away from you California blue

California blue dreaming all alone
Nothing else to do California blue
Everyday I pray I'll be on my way
Saving love for you California blue

One sunny day, I'll get back again
Somehow, someway but I don't know when
California blue, California blue

Living my life with you on my mind
Thinking of things that I left far behind
It's been so long doing all I can do
To get back to you California blue

California blue
(California blue)
Dreaming all alone
(California blue)

Nothing else to do
(California blue)
California blue
Everyday I pray I'll be on my way
Saving love for you California blue

One sunny day I'll get back again
Somehow, someway but I don't know when
California blue, California blue

Still missing you California blue
Still missing you California blue
Still missing you California blue

"California Sunshine Girl"

"California Sunshine Girl"


California woman
Hanging heavy on my mind
Never found another like her
Guess she was just one of a kind

She never wrapped no strings around me
She could treat a man so fine
I still see her golden hair
And the California sunshine

Mississippi rain falling on my head
No California woman sleeping in my bed
Makes me wanna move on, leave all this behind
I need my California woman and the California sunshine

Golden California beaches
Knocking on a beach house door
They say that California woman
She don't live here anymore

They say she left with a stranger
Leaving nothing left behind
She buried all my dreams here
In the California sunshine

Mississippi rain falling on my head
No California woman sleeping in my bed
Makes me wanna move on, leave all this behind
I need my California woman and the California sunshine
I need my California woman and the California sunshine

"Can't Wait"

"Can't Wait"


Can't wait till we get back together
Can't wait, the sooner the better
It's late, I should have told you long ago

I hope that we can set things straight
What I've got in my heart won't wait
Tomorrow may be too late to apologise to you

Ooh I wish that it was tonight
With our troubles behind us, tonight
Go where no one can find us tonight
With no city to blind us tonight

As I sit here and say "oh gee"
As the feeling just sweeps over me
Takes me into the night floating free

In a skyward direction
My soul has been freed by your love and affection

Can't wait till we get back together
Can't wait, the sooner the better
It's late, and I still can't taste your kiss

And you know that a love like this
It just can't wait

It can't wait, no no no
It can't wait, no no no
It can't wait, no no no
It can't wait, no no no...

"Careless Heart"

"Careless Heart"


I had somebody, somebody who loved me.
Someone so good to me.
You were my angel, you were my heaven
But I was too blind to see.

I let you slip away, I guess I never knew.
I had the world with you .
I'd be there, still be there in your arms.
If not for my careless heart.
You'd still be loving me.
If not for my careless heart.
You'd still be mine.
I wouldn't have this hurt inside.
I wouldn't have this tears to cry.
If not for my careless heart.
If not for my careless heart.

I had my chances, I took advantage.
I took it all too far.
So now you're gone, and I'm all alone,
Alone with my lonely heart.
I let it fall apart, I didn't care enough.
I lost your precious love.
You'd be here, still be here in my arms.

If not for my careless heart.
You'd still be loving me.
If not for my careless heart.
You'd still be mine.
I wouldn't have this hurt inside.
I wouldn't have this tears to cry.
If not for my careless heart.
If not for my careless heart.
You'd still be mine.

I'd be loving you, I'd be holding you,
I'd be loving you.
If not for my careless heart.
I wouldn't have this hurt inside.
I wouldn't have this tears to cry.
If not for my careless heart.
If not for my careless heart.

If not for my careless heart.
You'd still be loving me.
If not for my careless heart.
You'd still be mine.
I wouldn't have this hurt inside.
I wouldn't have this tears to cry.
If not for my careless heart.
If not for my careless heart.
If not for my careless heart.
You'd still be loving me.
You'd be loving me.
You'd still be mine.

"Casting My Spell On You"

"Casting My Spell On You"


I took a black cat, (a cave bat) threw 'em in a pot pot, pot pot pot pot
I took a green snake, (a blue snake), tied 'em in a knot knot, knot knot knot knot
I took the dog's paw, (a calve's jaw) hung 'em on the line line, line line line line
I took a horse hair, (a green bear) made a crazy sign sign, sign sign sign sign

I'm casting my spell on you, casting my spell on you, casting my spell on you
You'll never never be untrue, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I took a ghost too, an old shoe, put 'em in the ground ground, ground ground ground ground
I took and old dish, a dried fish, made a crazy sound sound, sound sound sound sound

I took in a goose egg, a frog leg, put 'em in a sack sack, sack sack sack sack
I got a Hindu, (a tattoo) a genie on my back back, back back back back

I'm casting my spell on you, casting my spell on you, casting my spell on you
You'll never never be untrue, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

"Changes"

"Changes"


My life changes all the time.
Things were diff'rent when you were mine.
You loved me yesterday.
Now these changes have come to stay.
There have been changes,
So many changes along the way.
(Too many changes,changes in the way).
(So many changes,changes in the how).
(To many changes, changes when you cry).

Time brings changes,right or wrong.
I still love you, but now you're gone.

Maybe someday love will come,
But who can say what kind of changes,
What kind of changes come my way.
(Too many changes come along).
(Too many changes,leaving me alone).
(So many changes,now that you are gone).

"Cheyenne"

"Cheyenne"


I left Nabraska lookin' at sundown, needin' a shave and a bath
Wyoming night time could be a comedown, where do I go for a relapse?
Cheyenne, Cheyenne

Goofin' with the bar fly.pretty little green eyes sure can throw a smile
Head's in the right place, baby's got a sweet face, falls down western style

Cheyenne, Cheyenne get me high an' keep me that way
Cheyenne, Cheyenne still try an' steal my heart away
Cheyenne, Cheyenne

Annie is a cowgirl, a here and now girl, she says she can make me her man
She showed me how, I said "oh wow" I'll come again when I can

To Cheyenne, Cheyenne get me high an' steal my heart away
Cheyenne, Cheyenne stop your cryin', cos I'm here to stay

Cheyenne, Cheyenne, Cheyenne, Cheyenne, Cheyenne,
Cheyenne, Cheyenne, Cheyenne, Cheyenne, Cheyenne...

"Circle"

"Circle"


Try to keep from thinking, thinking means remembering
Remembering means hurtin' hurtin' ain't so funny
Funny how it hits you, hits you out of nowhere
Nowhere to hide from it, it will last forever

Forever is a long time, time keeps on a-creeping
Creeping toward tomorrow, tomorrow starts it over
Over all the lovin', lovin' and the good times
Good times turn to bad times, bad times start me thinking

Thinking is remembering, remembering starts the circle
Circle in a circle, circle rounding circle
Circle is unbroken, unbroken is the circle
Never ending circle, circle without ending

Thinking in a circle, circle empty circle
Circle without ending...

"City Life"

"City Life"


Coffer cafe's dizzy with city lights, concrete sidewalks busy with friendly fights
But that's alright baby, it's alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
Loud paper boys yelling yesterday's news, a pedlar man selling what you can't use
That's alright baby, it's alright come go with me, you will see city life, city life

I need you when the sun goes down, you pick me up when you're around
Come on, come on now, we can have a good time, this town ain't much unless you're here with me
It's like a woman, crazy just like a puppy, lazy
Just like a pretty jealous wife, I can't get free from city life

Secluded bars humming behind the scenes, hot wild guitars strumming, promising dreams

That's alright baby, it's alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
I don't want to be alone, stay with me now, don't go home
It's a date, we'll stay out late and party, city lifes okay when you're with me

It's like a lion sleeping just like a willow weeping,
A melting pot for fun and strife can't get away from city life
City life baby, city life, it's alright baby, it's alright city life, city life...
