Island of dreams - The Springfields

I WANDER the streets and the gay, crowded places,
Trying to forget you, but somehow it seems
My thoughts ever stray to our last sweet embraces,
Over the sea on the Island of Dreams.
High in the sky is a bird on the wing;
Please carry me with you.
Far, far away from the mad, rushing crowd,
Please carry me with you.
Again I would wander where memories enfold me,
There on the beautiful Island of Dreams.
High in the sky is a bird on the wing;
Please carry me with you.
Far, far away from the mad, rushing crowd,
Please carry me with you.
Again I would wander where memories enfold me,
There on the beautiful Island of Dreams.
Far, far away on the Island of Dreams.

The secrets that my paradise can bring

No milk today - Herman's Hermits

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands for lorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means?
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen?
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's LEFT is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up, two down
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
As music played, the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen?
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands for love, a symbol of the dawn
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up, two down
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands for love, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen?
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh, all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh, all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town

When you danced with me - ABBA

I can remember when you left Kilkenny
And you told me, "I'll return next year"
I never meant to hold you to your promise
And the years went by and I'm still here
So you LEFT for the city, I hope you like it there
You're only here now to see the Village Fair
You're just here for the music, that's all, or could it be
You miss the good old times when you danced with me
So is the outside world as you imagined?
Was it worth it, severing the ties?
Happy to see me or a bit embarrassed?
There's a darkness deep in your blue eyes
So you left for the city, I hope you like it there
You're only here now to see the Village Fair
You're just here for the music, that's all, or could it be
You miss the good old times when you danced with me
When you danced with me
I miss the good old times when you danced with me

Hard to be humble - Mac Davis


only registered users can see external links


Back a few months ago, I was headlinin' a great big nightclub...
And they put me up a couple days early, I came in a couple days early
And they put me up in what they call the "Star Suite"
Now here I am, headlinin' in one of the biggest nightclubs
In the country and I wake up at eight o'clock in the morning
In this "Star Suite"...
...All by myself
[Crowd:] Awwww!
Yeah, that's what I said, "Awwww"
But I did what I've always done, man, to cheer myself up
I picked up my guitar, I sat down and I wrote me a little song
Now this is how it feels to be alone at the top of the hill
Tryin' to figure out why

Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the MIRROR
'Cause I get better lookin' each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
But I'm doin' the best that I can

I used to have a girlfriend
But I guess she just couldn't compete
With all of these love-starved women
Who keep clamoring at my feet
Well I could probably find me another
But I guess they're all in awe of me
Who cares? I never get lonesome
'Cause I treasure my own company

Oh... Lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
'Cause I get better lookin' each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
But I'm doin' the best that I can

I guess you could say I'm a loner
A cowboy outlaw, tough and proud
Well, I could have lotsa friends if I wanted
But then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd
Some folks say that I'm "egotistical"
Hell, I don't even know what that means
I guess it has something to do with the way
That I fill out my skin-tight blue jeans

Oh... Come on, where's all the kickers in here?!
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
'Cause I get better lookin' each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
But I'm doin' the best that I can!
One more time, what are we doin'?
We're doing the best that we can!
Give yourselves a hand
Yee-haw!

MIRROR, mirror on the wall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Mirror, mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all
and in the mirror I can see your pretty face
And now I'm sorry, what I have done to you
Those few harsh words that we are through
I'd give the world, my love, to have you back again, once more
Turn back the clock for just a few hours
So we can wonder what's broking all those warm Summer showers
And mirror, mirror on the wall Though whispers come I, can recall
Yes, the happiness that we once knew before
I'm trying to tell you now I'm not just pretending now
To get you back any old how
And I will prove to you how strong my love can be
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Mirror, mirror on the wall

Torn between two lovers - Mary MacGregor


only registered users can see external links


There are times when a woman has to say what's on her mind
Even though she knows how much it's gonna hurt
Before I say another word, let me tell you "I love you"
Let me hold you close, and say these words as gently as I can
"There's been another man that I've needed and I've loved,
But that doesn't mean I love you less,
And he knows he can't possess me, and he knows he never will,
There's just this empty place inside of me that only he can fill"
Torn between TWO lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules
You mustn't think you failed me just because there's someone else
You were the first real love I ever had,
And all the things I ever said
I swear they still are true
For no one else can have the part of me I gave to you
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules
Couldn't really blame you if you turned and walked away
But with everything I feel inside, I'm asking you to stay
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules

Oh yes of course

Frankie and Johnny - Elvis

Frankie and me we were lovers
Oh Lordy how we could love
Swore we'd be true to each other
Just as true as stars above
I was her man, she caught me doing her wrong
My luck in poker was fading
When a new gal caught my eye
I gambled, I tried to change my luck
With a chick named Nellie Bly
I was Frankie's man but I was doing her wrong
Yeah! Frankie came looking to find me
Yes, she wasn't looking for fun
For in her sweet loving hand
She was totin' a 44 gun
To shoot her man if he was doin' her wrong
Well Frankie walked into the bar room
And right there in front of her eyes
There was her loving johnny
Making love to that Nellie Bly
I was her man, she caught me doing her wrong
Frankie, I beg, please don't shoot me
Well they'll put you away in a cell
You know they'll put your where the cold wind blows
From the hottest corner in hell
I'm your man, I know I done you wrong
Easy on the roll, real easy
Easy on the roll, real slow
Roll me over real gently
'cause my wound hurts me so
Well I was her man
Well I done her wrong
Well Frankie told johnny
Well this is the end of my song
I was her man, well I DONEher wrong
Well , hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Done her wrong

Dead ringer for love - Meatloaf and Cher


only registered users can see external links


Every night I grab some money and I go down to the bar
I got my buddies and a beer, I got a dream, I need a car
You got me begging on my knees, c'mon and throw the dog a BONE
A man he doesn't live by rock 'n roll and brew alone
Baby baby
Rock 'n roll and brew, rock 'n roll and brew
They don't mean a thing when I compare 'em next to you
Rock 'n roll and brew, rock 'n roll and brew
I know that you and I we got better things to do
I don't know who you are or what you do
Or where you go when you're not around
I don't know anything about you, baby
But you're everything I'm dreaming of
I don't know who you are, but you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love
Ever since I can remember you been hanging 'round this joint
You been trying to look away but now you finally got the point
I don't have to know your name and I won't tell you what to do
But a girl, she doesn't live by only rock 'n roll and brew
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Rock 'n roll and brew, rock 'n roll and brew
They don't mean a thing when I compare 'em next to you
Rock 'n roll and brew, rock 'n roll and brew
I know that you and I we got better things to do
I don't know who you are or what you do
Or where you go when you're not around
I don't know anything about you, baby
But you're everything I'm dreaming of
I don't know who you are, but you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love
Ooh, you got the kind of legs that do more than walk
I don't have to listen to your whimpering talk
Listen you got the kind of eyes that do more than see
You got a lotta nerve to come on to me
Oh, you got the kind of lips that do more than drink
You got the kind of mind that does less than think
But since I'm feeling kinda lonely, my defenses are low
Why don't you give it a shot and get it ready to go
I'm looking for anonymous and fleeting satisfaction
And I want to tell my daddy I'll be missing in action
Ever since I can remember I've been hanging 'round this joint
My daddy never noticed, now he'll finally get the point
You got me beggin' on my knees, c'mon and throw the dog a bone
A man he doesn't live by rock 'n roll and brew alone
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Rock 'n roll and brew, rock 'n roll and brew
I know that you and I we got better things to do
Rock 'n roll and brew, rock 'n roll and brew
They don't mean a thing when I compare 'em next to you
I don't know who you are or what you do
Or where you go when you're not around
I don't know anything about you baby, but you're everything I'm dreaming of
I don't know who you are, but you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love
Dead ringer for love
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)

Wendy - The Beach Boys

WENDY, Wendy, what went wrong?
Oh, so wrong
We went together for so long

I never thought a guy could cry
'Til you made it with another guy
Oh Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurt so bad

Wendy, Wendy, don't lose your head
Lose your head
Wendy, don't believe a word he says

I can't picture you with him
His future looks awful dim
Oh Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurt so bad

Wendy, I wouldn't hurt you like that
No, no, no
I thought we had our love down pat
Guess I was wrong

The farthest thing from my mind
Was the day that I'd wake up to find
My Wendy
Wendy left me alone

Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurts so bad
Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurts so bad
Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurts so bad
Wendy, Wendy


Oh I had such a crush on Wendy when I was 16. This song has stayed with me for over 55 years.

Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Never let it FADE away
Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
For love may come
And tap you on the shoulder
Some starless night
And just in case
You feel you want to hold her
You'll have a pocketful of starlight
Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
For when your troubles
Start a multiplying
And they just might
It's easy to
Forget them without trying
With just a pocketful of starlight
Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
Never let it fade away
Save it for a rainy day

Money Honey - Elvis

My front door BELL
I let it ring for a long, long spell
I went to the window, I peeped through the blind
And asked him to tell me what's on his mind
He said, "Money, honey, oh
Money, honey
Money, honey
If you want to get along with me"
Well, I said, "Tell me, baby, what's wrong with you?"
"From this day on our romance is through"
I said, "Tell me, baby, face to face
How could another man take my place?"
He said, "Money, honey, oh
Money, honey
Money, honey
If you want to get along with me
Well, I screamed and I hollered, I was so hard-pressed
I called the woman that I loved the best
I finally got my baby about half-past three
She said, "I'd like to know what you want with me"
Money, honey, oh
Money, honey
Money, honey
If you want to get along with me
Well, I've learned my lesson and now I know
The sun may shine and the winds may blow
The women may come and the women may go
But before I say "I love you so"
Money, honey, oh
Money, honey
Money, honey
If you want to get along with me

I'll live for you, I'll give to you

Saved by the bell on your own carousel

Sunday morning coming down - Johnny Cash


only registered users can see external links


Well, I WOKE up Sunday mornin'
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
I'd smoked my mind the night before
With cigarettes and songs I'd been pickin'
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Playin' with a can that he was kickin'
Then I walked across the street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone's fryin' chicken
And Lord, it took me back to somethin' that I'd lost
Somewhere, somehow along the way
On a Sunday mornin' sidewalk
I'm wishin', Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's somethin' in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone
And there's nothin' short a' dyin'
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleepin' city sidewalk
And Sunday mornin' comin' down
In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughin' little girl that he was swingin'
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And listened to the songs they were singin'
Then I headed down the street
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
And it echoed through the canyons
Like the disappearin' dreams of yesterday
On a Sunday mornin' sidewalk
I'm wishin', Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's somethin' in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone
And there's nothin' short a' dyin'
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleepin' city sidewalk
And Sunday mornin' comin' down

WOKE up this morning with light in my eyes
And then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light coming down from the sky
I don't know who or why
Must be those strangers that come every night
Those saucer shaped lights put people uptight
Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home alright
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride
Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite weird
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared
Over my window, they'd written my name
Said, "So long, we'll see you again"
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride

Stranger in the crowd - Elvis

I'd been standing on a CORNER
Since a quarter after seven
I was down to my last cigarette
And the clock in the window
At a quarter to eleven
I was watching all the people
Passing by me going places
Just the loneliest guy in the town
Looking for a friendly smile
But all that I could see were faces
And then, just like the taste of milk and honey
I found the stranger I'd been looking for
The way my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be strangers no more
The love it found us on that corner
At a quarter to eleven
I thought you were to good to be true
All my life I had believed
That angels only live in Heaven
But now, we share the taste of milk and honey
Each day is sweeter than the day before
My cup of love is overflowing
Because the stranger in the crowd
And I would be strangers no more
Deep inside, my cup of love was overflowing
I found the stranger I'd been looking for
The way my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be strangers no more
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be strangers no more

Walk on by - Conway Twitty

If I see you tomorrow on some street in town
Pardon me if I don't say "Hello"
I belong to another, and it doesn't look so good
To know someone I'm not supposed to know.

Just walk on by, wait on the CORNER
I love you but we're strangers when we meet
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet.

In a dimly lit corner at a place outside of town
Tonight we'll try to say "Goodbye" again
But I know it's not over, I'll call tomorrow night
I can't let you go so why pretend?

Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet...

I have stepped in just in case Bella! Can’t post

I won't let you go - Agnetha Falkstog

Some girls want to play with you
Doing things that they really can't do
They think that love is a game to play
They oughta know that I get my way
They look at you with starry eyes
Very soon they all realize
Play with fire and your fingers burn
I wanna tell them, they never learn
I WON'T let you go, no, no, no
I'll never let go, oh, baby, you know
There's a special kind of love
There's something magic when we touch
I won't let you go, no, no, no
I'll never let go, I just couldn't hide
All the love I feel inside
I want you with me, by my side
By my side
I never dreamed I would stay with you
Just one look, and I knew you were true
One more day and I woke up to find
I couldn't think, you were on my mind
I can't believe those other guys
Hanging 'round with that look in their eyes
They'll never know what I get from you
I wanna tell them, I never do
I won't let you go, no, no, no
I'll never let go, oh, baby, you know
There's a special kind of love
There's something magic when we touch
I won't let you go, no, no, no
I'll never let go, I just couldn't hide
All the love I feel inside
I want you with me, by my side
By my side, by my side, by my side
Play with fire and your fingers burn
I wanna tell them, they never learn
I won't let you go, no, no, no
I'll never let go, oh, baby, you know
There's a special kind of love
There's something magic when we touch
I won't let you go, no, no, no
I'll never let go, I just couldn't hide
All the love I feel inside
I want you with me, by my side
I won't let you go

Let my name be sorrow - Francoise Hardy

When I watch you sadly calling
When all you can say is 'no'
Let my name be sorrow
Let my name be sorrow

When I long to see you smiling
When your fear just WON'T let go
Let my name be sorrow
Let my name be sorrow

Once we had laughs as big as lives
We had lies as sweet as you
Till one morning for us two
All was over

When the dawn is softly showing
Darkness lingers on your brow
Let my name be sorrow

Let my name be sorrow

When the roses sweetly growing
Lose their petals one by one
Let my name be sorrow
Let my name be sorrow

Once we had laughs as big as lives
We had lies as sweet as you
Till one morning for us two
All was over

You don't have to say 'I love you'
When your heart is far behind
Just let my name be sorrow
Let my name be sorrow

Wear my ring around your neck - Elvis


only registered users can see external links


WON'T you wear my ring around your neck
To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
Let them see your love for me
And let them see by the ring around your neck
Won't you wear my ring around your neck
To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
Let them know I love you so
And let them no by the ring around your neck
They say that goin' steady is not the proper thing
They say that we're too young to know the meaning of a ring
I only know that I love you and that you love me too
So, darling, please do what I ask of you
Won't you wear my ring around your neck
To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
Let them see your love for me
And let them see by the ring around your neck
Well they say that goin' steady is not the proper thing
They say that we're too young to know the meaning of a ring
I only know that I love you and that you love me too
So, darling, please do what I ask of you
Won't you wear my ring around your neck
To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
Let them know I love you so
And let them no by the ring around your neck
And let them know by the ring around your neck
And let them know by the ring around your neck

I do tend to post what first comes to mind, hence today's selections.

Don’t - Elvis

DON’T (Don't) Don't (Don't)
That's what you say
Each time that I hold you this way
When I feel like this and I want to kiss you
Baby, don't say don't
leave my embrace
For here in my arms is your place
When the night grows cold and I want to hold you
Baby, don't say don't (Don't, don't, don't, don't)
If you think that this is just a game
I'm playing
If you think that I don't mean
Every word I'm saying
Don't (Don't) Don't (Don't)
Don't feel that way
I'm your love and yours I will stay
This you can believe
I will never leave you
Heaven knows I won't
(Don't) Baby, don't say don't
(Don't, please, don't)

Don’t you know - Sandie Shaw


only registered users can see external links


DON’T you know, that somebody here loves you
Oh so much it's not true
Don′t you know, that somebody here just wants to be with you
She cries almost every night – that just isn't right you know
Don't you know, that somebody here
Talks about you all the time
Don′t you know, that somebody needs you so – it is a crime
She wants to come back once again
So please tell her when to call
She′s sorry for the things that she said
And loves you more than ever
She wants that you should understand
She'll love you for ever and ever
Don′t you know, that somebody here is as lonely as she'll ever be
Don′t you know, that somebody here is me, oh yeah it's me
I sit here with tears in my eyes
And you know the reason why
Oh you know the reason why
Well I guess that you know
The reason why
Oh well, darling you know

What you’re doing - The Beatles

Look what you're DOING, I'm feeling blue and lonely
Would it be too much to ask of you
What you're doing to me?

You got me running and there's no fun in it
Why should it be so much to ask of you
What you're doing to me?

I've been waiting here for you
Wond'ring what you're gonna do
And should you need a love that's true
It's me

Please stop your lying, you've got me crying, girl
Why should it be so much to ask of you
What you're doing to me?

I've been waiting here for you
Wond'ring what you're gonna do
And should you need a love that's true
It's me

Please stop your lying, you've got me crying, girl
Why should it be so much to ask of you
What you're doing to me?
What you're doing to me?
What you're doing to

Alone again (naturally)- Gilbert O'Sullivan


only registered users can see external links


In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to
Make it clear to whoever
Wants to know what it's like when you're SHATTERED
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Were people saying, My God, that's tough
She stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about, God in His mercy
Oh, if he really does exist
Why did he desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that
There are more hearts broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do
What do we do
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

Word of the day for Sunday 5th May - SHATTER

Honey - Bobby Goldsboro


only registered users can see external links


See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got MAD,
The first day that she planted it
Was just a twig
Then the first snow came and she ran out
To brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart
And I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin' late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show
And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be MAD
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
And caught her cryin' needlessly
In the middle of a day
And it was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away
And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could
One day while I was not at home
While she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have is memories of honey
And I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where honey lived and honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed
That honey loved
And see the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
And I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it
Was just a twig

Oh my ! That did not occur to me. well played


How do you think I feel - Elvis


only registered users can see external links


How do you think I feel?
Well, I know your love's not real
The girl I'm MAD about is just a gadabout
How do you think I feel?
How do you think we stand?
I know you've made your plan
But you've included three
And that's too much for me
How do you think I feel?
I won't be true again
I know that I can't win
So why should I pretend
That you still love me?
How do you think I feel?
Well, I know your love's not real
The one I'm MAD about is just a gadabout
How do you think I feel?
How do you think I feel?
Well, I know your love's not real
The girl I'm MAD about is just a gadabout
How do you think I feel?
How do you think we stand?
I know you've made your plan
But now this pretty face,
Has put me out of place
How do you think I feel?
I won't be true again
I know that I can't win
So why should I pretend
That you still love me?
How do you think I feel?
Well, I know your love's not real
And you've included three
And that's too much for me
How do you think I feel?

Over the rainbow - Judy Garland


only registered users can see external links


Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away ABOVE the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

My love - Petula Clark

My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine, softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night ABOVE
And there is nothing in this world that can ever change my love
Something happened to my heart the day that I met you
Something that I never felt before
You are always on my mind no matter what I do
And everyday it seems that I want you more
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine, softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world that can ever change my love
Once I thought that love was meant for anyone else but me
Once I thought you'd never come my way
Now it only goes to show how wrong we all can be
For now I have to tell you everyday
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine, softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world that can ever change my love
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine, softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world that can ever change my love
