Ill Get By
Roy turk / fred e. ahlert
Ill get by
As long as I have you
Oh therebe rain
And darkness too
Ill not complain
Ill live with you
Poverty
May come to me thats true
But what care i
Ill get by
As long as I have you
*alternatively (I dont know....., ecduzit)
Ill get by as long as I have you
Though therell be rain and darkness too
Ill not complain
Ill laugh, its true
Ah, but tears may come to me
Thats true
But what care i, say
Ill get by, as long as I have you

Alone... In The Rain...
alone in the darkness
under the rain
crying out loud
that no one can hear
alone in the darkness
under the rain
with a broken heart
and so much pain
alone in the darkness
under the rain
i wish you were here
to comfort me again
alone in the darkness
under the rain
how long will i endure it
i think...forever...

Rain Tears
Rain, tears, rain, tears,
Melding in torrential fears:
Chill of cloud; saddened eye-
In either way, a latent cry.
Rain, tears, rain, tears,
Married under sceptic jeers:
‘They'll never last.' Methinks not true, for
Either way, forever blue.
Rain, tears, rain, tears,
Simple love with lacy cares,
Their intercourse will ne'er refrain
From rain and tears and tears and rain.

All I Needed Was The Rain
(words & music by ben weisman - sid wayne )
Hello misfortune, hows my old friend mr. misery?
Ive been away so long I bet you think you saw the last of me
Got no bed, to rest my head
No doors or walls or window pane
Now all I needed was the rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain
Met a little honey at the buzzin bumble bee cafe
Yes I did
One drink and all my money and that honey bee had flown away
Im bout as low, as I can go
I dont really mean to complain
Now all I needed was the rain
Rain, rain...rain..rain
All I needed was this rain...
All I needed was the rain...um..um.....

Im Not Sayin / Ribbon Of Darkness
Im not sayin that I love you
Im not sayin that Ill care if you love me
Im not sayin that Ill care
Im not sayin Ill be there when you want me
I cant give my heart to you
Or tell you that Ill sing your name up to the sky
I cant lay the promise down
That Ill always be around when you need me
Now I may not be alone each time you see me
Along the street or in a small cafe
But still I wont deny you or mistreat you
Baby if you let me have my way
Im not sayin Ill be sorry
For all the things that I might say that make you cry
I cant say Ill always do
The things you want me to
Im not sayin Ill be true but Ill try
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me
Clouds are gatherin oer my head
That chill the day and hide the sun
That shroud the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me
Rain is falling on the meadow
Where once my love and I did lie
Now she is gone from the meadow
My love goodbye
Oh how I wish your heart could see
How mine just aches and breaks all day
Come on home and take away
This ribbon of darkness over me
Yes come on home and take away
Ribbon of darkness over me

Say It Aint True
(rod stewart / chen, savigar, cregan, grainger)
Look at all the problems
That weve been through
How can you tell me
That theres somebody new
I dont believe that Im hearing this
I dont really think that youre serious
Well you picked a fine time to hesitate
See it my way Ive nothing left
You can take my heart but dont steal my pride
Think it over before Im pushed aside
And tell me
Say it aint true
Thats all you gotta do, baby
Say it aint true
Well I thought this one was bound to last
Together forever oh what a laugh
Its going to hurt when I set you free
Ive been loving you too long
Youre a part of me
So tell me
Say it aint true, tell me baby
Say it aint true
Put yourself in my place for a little while
Going out of fashion growing out of style
No one to laugh with nobody to share
No one to lean on nobody to care
Nothing left but a memory
I gave you my heart so stay with me
And tell me
Say it aint true
Say it aint true
Tell me baby
Say it aint true
I love you baby
I love you baby
I just want to do right by you honey
Wouldnt do you no wrong

Who Cares?
Let it rain and thunder,
Let a million firms go under.
I am not concerned with
Stocks and bonds that Ive been burned with!
I love you and you love me
And thats how it will always be
And nothing else can ever mean a thing
Who cares what the public chatters
Loves the only thing that matters
Who cares if the sky cares to fall in the sea
Who cares what banks fail in yonkers
Long as youve got a kiss that conquers?
Why should I care?
Life is one long jubilee,
So long as I care for you
And you care for me!
Who cares how history rates me
As long as your kiss intoxicates me?
Why should I care?
Life is one long jubilee,
So long as I care for you
And you care for me!

True To Myself
Life has come a long way since yester day (I say)
And its not the same old thing over again (I say)
Just do what you feel and dont you fool yourself (I say)
Cause I cant make you happy unless I am (I say, I say)
Chorus
Ive got to be true to myself (x4)
Theyre in theyre out, Ive asked many questions (I say)
Only to find the truth it never changes (I say)
If you dont deal with it, it keeps killing you a little by little
Call me selfish if you will, my life I alone I can live (I say, I say)
Chorus
Ive got to be true to myself (x4)
I dont care if it hurts
Im tired of playing all these games
Ive reached a point in life
Hey, no longer can I be this way
Dont come crying to me
I too have shed my share of tears
Im moving on, yes Im grooving on
Hey, well Im finally free
Chorus
Ive got to be true to myself (x8)

I Will Take Care Of You
When the daylight disappears
When youre haunted, Ill be near
When the shadows come to call
When youre too scared to stand tall
I can stand tall
Dream and let your dreams go
Its your turn to fly
Long as Im standing by
You can close your eyes
I will take care of you
Long as you want me to
Whatever else I do
I will take care of you
Dont you worry, while you sleep
All my love is yours to keep
All you wish for, all you know
Will be yours when you let go
You can let go
Smile, if you can now
Smile through your tears
Here where your fears are known
Know youre safe at home
I will take care of you
Long as you want me to
Whatever else I do
I will take care of you
I will take care of you
Long as you want me to
Whatever else I do
I will take care of you...

I Want It All
I dont need no million dollars
- just need a couple of bucks
Dont need no life insurance -
I just need a little luck
I dont care if the sun dont
Shine - as long as it dont rain all week
And I dont care if I dont reach
The top - but when it comes to you and me ... oh ya
I dont need a piece of your heart
Oh ya - Im in need of every part
I want it all - I want it all
I want everything you got
I dont need a piece of your heart
I want it all
I dont wanna go through no long
Good-byes - I dont mind being apart
I dont need no fancy car - as
Long as we can make it start...oh ya
I dont need a piece of your heart
Oh ya - Im need of every part
I want it all - I want it all
I want everything you got
I dont need a piece of your heart
I want it all
Soill sister come to me - put
Everything in harmony - irie!.

I Don't Care
I don't care where I live my life
As long as I have you,
I don't care where my home is
As long as there is us two,
I don't care if we live in a house
Or in a mansion, or even a cave,
I just want you at my side
Where together, forever we will stay,
I don't care to count out my money
Every nickel, penny, quarter or dime,
I don't care to spend all of our money
On our place that is yours and mine,
I don't care if the nights are cold
At the place that we will call home.
I don't care if the days are hot
As long as I have you and I am not alone,
I don't care what country we are in
Or where finally we will lay our roots,
I don't care what language me might speak
As long as I can still say I love you,
I don't care where I sleep at night
Whether it be a hut, or cabin, tent or igloo,
I don't care where I wake up in the morning
As long as I wake up next to you,
I don't care if we have one room
At the place that we will spend our life,
I don't care what people might ever say
All I care is to have you as my wife.

Poor Boy
Can you believe me when I say, theres nothing I like better,
Than just to sit here and talk with you.
Although Ill rant and Ill rave about one thing and another
The beauty of it is so pure to me, though,
Im a poor boy,
I can still be happy,
As long as I can feel free.
So many people I know, get old way too early
(well are you feelin kind of weary)
Just to impress you with the money theyve made
(you better, you better change your theory)
One drop of rain, they complain, its the same about the ways theyre earning.
Well, that is not the way Im gonna be,
Dont mind the rain, dont mind snow, dont mind nothin
If I know,
You will be right here with me
-well let her stay, dont mind a point of view,
How can we all afford to live like you;
This life is simply not enough,
We have no grievances, we must be tough-
-poor boy-
If thats the way its gonna be
-poor boy-
Its you for you and me for me
-poor boy-
(rd+rh)
Ive tried all I can, understanding, all the fools and all threir money,
When half of what theyve got, you know they never will use,
Enough to get by, suits me fine, I dont care if they think Im funny.
Im never gonna change my point of view,
Dont mind the rain, dont mind snow, dont mind nothing, if I know
You will be right here with me, all the way.
Na-na-na
Dont mind the rain, dont mind snow, dont mind nothing if I know
You will be right here with me , all the way.

Distant Love
Oh my love
the beauty behind your blue eyes
are astonishing.
I go to bed with you on my mind
its pains me distance and time
keeps us apart; i long dearly to be with you.
if only life could have brought us together
so closely, so distance would not be a barrier to our love.
I know love never dies
but if you stop loving me i will die.
Don't let anything take you away from me
'You are my only true love', my dear
The irony of life is that it always
stands in the way of true love.
'Inside i long for you, and the distance
between us an ocean of tears.
Lets there be war and famine,
lightning and darkness,
as long as the day and night remains
so would my love for you never change.'

Mamunia
Mamunia mamunia mamunia
Oh oh oh
Mamunia mamunia oh oh oh oh
The rain comes falling from the sky,
To fill the stream that fills the sea
And thats where life began for you and me
So the next time you see rain it aint bad,
Dont complain it rains for you,
The next time you see l.a. rainclouds,
Dont complain it rains for you and me
Mamunia...
It might have been a bright blue day
But rainclouds had to come this way
Theyre watering everything that they can see.
A seed is waiting in the earth
For rain to come and give him free,
So the next time you see l.a. rainclouds
Dont complain, it rains for you.
So lay down your umbrellas
Strip off your plastic macs.
Youve never felt the rain my friend,
Till youve felt it running down your back
So the next time you see rain, it aint bad
Dont complain, it rains for you.
The next time you see l.a. rainclouds
Dont complain it rains for you and me.
Mamunia...

Never Be Anyone Else But You
(baker knight)
Therell never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be
Just couldnt be
Anyone else but you
If I could take my pick of all
The boys Ive ever known
Then Id come and pick you out
To be my very own
Therell never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be
Just couldnt be
Anyone else but you
A heart thats true and longs for you
Is all I have to give
All my love belongs to you
As long as I may live
Therell never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be
Just couldnt be
Anyone else but you
I never will forget the way you kissed me
And when were not together
I wonder if you miss me
For I hope and pray the day will come
When you belong to me
Then Im gonna prove to you
How true my love can be
Therell never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be
Just couldnt be
Anyone else but you
Never ever be
Just couldnt be
Anyone else but you

Seven Days
I dont care if the rain dont shine
Oh, I dont care if the sun dont fall
You are the one in a million, child
And you knew that I would call
Thoughts of you alone with me
I cant slow them down
But I cant sleep at night
Because youre not around
I cant wait
Seven days is a long time
To be waiting for you girl
I cant wait
Seven days is just too long
To be without you girl
Ive tried every kind of distraction
But nothing will ease this pain
There is only one solution, girl
So why do you make me wait
Got to say I didnt think
That I could read your mind
But I cant sleep at night
cause baby youre on mine
I cant wait
Seven days is a long time
Oh, I miss you girl
I cant wait
Seven days is just too long
I cant wait
Seven days is a long time
To be without you
I cant wait
Seven days is just too long
Just too long

Embracing the rain
No more raincoats, I’m embracing the rain
Sunny days long gone, I’m embracing the rain
Sometimes you are dying
A circle of life is changing
In the darkness is new light
evolving and growing through the night
No more raincoats, I’m embracing the rain
Sunny days are long gone, I’m embracing the rain
Sometimes you are trying
Starting new things without slowing down
Illumination is the key
Trust the unknown, wait and see
No more raincoats, I’m embracing the rain
Sunny days long gone, I’m embracing the rain
Okay to be fearful, I’m embracing the rain
Better days are coming, I’m embracing the rain
I’m embracing the rain

Porterville
Its been an awful long time since I been home,
But you wont catch me goin back down there alone.
Things they said when I was young are quite enough to get me hung.
I dont care! I dont care!
They came and took my dad away to serve some time,
But it was me that paid the debt he left behind.
Folks said I was full of sin, because I was the next of kin.
I dont care! I dont care!
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
I dont care! I dont care!
Folks were out one night to put me up a fence,
And you can guess that Ive been runnin ever since.
Aint no one thats bout to help, and Ill keep on, I tell myself.
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!
Aint no one thats bout to help,
And Ill keep on, I tell myself.
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!

A Long Time Ago
Sitting here , all alone
Wondering what to do
Life went faster than the time
I had to achieve the things I had in mind
Their disguise , I see with my eyes
Many things I should have realized
A long time ago , long long time ago
Never changing , ever aging
It drags from day to day
I wish that I had found myself
Before it robbed me of the time
Oh no , oh no
I should have realized
A long long time ago
A long time ago
A long time ago
(break)
Seeing things , open doors
People invited me into
Oh they were so good to me
And always helped me on my way
Then I woke from this dream
Known that I should have realized
A long time ago
Long long time ago
Another day , another way
I dont care what people say
No , I realize that theres no other way for me
Suppose Ill just have to live from day to day
Oh no , oh no
I should have realized
A long long time ago
A long time ago
A long time ago

Much too Long!
I dont care what they say, with those rumours
I know its been much to long...
Its been much to long since Ive seen you
I wish I love would of lasted
I dont care what they say, your so long gone..
No one can take away the memories in our hearts
Yes we were much to young....... I dont care what they say..
Sometimes hearts belong...
I dream about you everyday, wondering what went wrong?
I dont care what they say, with those rumours
I know its been much to long...
I thought my heart would drift away and a new love would belong..
I dont care what they say, your so long gone..
No one can take away the memories in our hearts
Yes we were much to young....... I dont care what they say..
Sometimes hearts belong...

Hung Up And Overdue
I'm so hung up I'm gonna go see her tonight
I'm so hung up I can't get her out of my mind
Could it be just stars in my eyes
Could it be this won't happen twice
We're overdue for a dream come true
Long time, nothing new
We're overdue for a dream come true
She said she's going to move to California on day
Said she's going out on safari to stay
She's tired of her job and the snow
We both need somewhere to go
We're overdue for a dream come true
Long time, nothing new
We're overdue for a dream come true
I'm so hung up on her now
I'm so strung out on her now
A gift from the sun to the moon
I hope something changes soon
We're overdue for a dream come true
Long time, nothing new
We're overdue for a dream come true
We're overdue for a dream come true
Long time, nothing new
We're overdue for a dream come true
