If It Hadnt Been For You
(verdi / kaye)
I would be through with love
Have nothing to do with love
If it hadnt been for you
If it hadnt been for you
Love hurt me from the start
Id still have a broken heart
If it hadnt been for you
If it hadnt been for you
You put your sweet lips on mine
And I believed in love again
The world took on a new shine
And, oh how sad it was then
When love was so cruel to me
How empty my life would be
If it hadnt been for you
And the little things you do
My whole world would fall through
If it hadnt been for you
If it hadnt been for you, ooh, ooh
My whole world would fall through
If it hadnt been for you
If it hadnt been for you
If it hadnt been for you
If it hadnt been for you
If it hadnt been for you

I Hadnt Anyone Till You
Ray noble
I hadnt anyone till you
I was a lonely one till you
I used to lie awake and wonder if there could be,
A someone in the wide world just made for me
Now I see I had to save my love for you
I never gave my love till you
And thru my lonely heart demanding it
Cupid took a hand in it
I hadnt anyone till you.

Mine To Lose
(paul nelson/larry boone/matt king)
Word is out how youve been talkin
Bout how you won that womans heart
You may think its your charm
That led her to your arms
But the truth is man I did more
Than my part
If Id only been there for her
She wouldnt be yours now
Youd have never had the chance if
I hadnt let her down
Cause its a cold hard fact
If I hadnt turned my back
Shed have never turned to you
She was never yours to win
She was mine to lose
You might think youre gonna keep her
But youre just loving
Borrowed time
Now I know where I was wrong
Im gonna make it right and it
Wont be long
Til that girl is back to being mine
If Id only been there for her
She wouldnt be yours now
Youd have never had the chance if
I hadnt let her down
Cause its a cold hard fact
If I hadnt turned my back
Shed have never turned to you
She was never yours to win

Uh uh high yeah

Ah ha yeah

Yeah its 4 am and the earth stands still
The citys took a sleeping pill
But Im awake and lying next to you yeah
So its 4 am and I breathe you in
And old familiar thoughts begin
Id hate to think without what Id do (ohhhhh)
Well I could have turned left
And you could have turned right
I could have stayed at home that night
And you you might have never caught that train, for the rain
Well if you hadnt smiled and if I hadnt asked
We could have been two ships that passed
And I might have never known your name
Thank God I kissed you, that I kissed you
Was it all just chance
Was it meant to be
Was it in the stars for you and me
Theres a million doors, but just one key ohhh oh oh
It can take one touch
It can take one look
Well our whole lifes a storybook
And we are just fulfilling destiny
Ohhhhhhh
Well I could have turned left
And you could have turned right
I could have stayed at home that night
And you you might have never caught that train, for the rain
Well if you hadnt smiled and if I hadnt asked
We could have been two ships that passed
And I might have never known your name
Thank God I kissed you, that I kissed you
Thank God I kissed you
That I touched you
That I met you, now I love you
Well Im hooked on you and without you Im insane
Well I could have turned left
And you could have turned right
I could have stayed at home that night
And you you might have never caught that train, for the rain
Well if you hadnt smiled and if I hadnt asked
We could have been two ships that passed
And I might have never known your name
And thank God I kissed you
Thank God I kissed you
Thank God I kissed you
Cause I could have missed you
Thank God that I kissed you
That I touched you
That I met you , now I love you
Thank God I kissed you
Thank God I kissed you yeah

My Heart Is Broken
My heart is broken
My love is gone
I live without you
Your pillow cold
I am forsaken
I cant go on
My heart is broken
My love is gone
If I hadnt cheated
While you were gone
The well that wed
Been drinkin from
Wouldnt a dried
And turned cold
My days are empty
My nights are long
Five cups of coffee
For the years gone wrong
If I hadnt cheated
While you were gone
The well that wed
Been drinkin from
Wouldnt a dried
And turned cold
My days are empty
My nights are long
My heart is broken
My love is gone
My love is gone

Sandra
(barry manilow / enoch anderson)
Shes a great little housewife
Though sometimes she talks like a fool
But she helps at the store in the holiday rush
And she picks up the kids after school
And she puts down the phone
When her husband comes home
And she changes from mother to wife
til she feels the words hanging between them
And she hangs by her words to her life
She says....
I swear I love my husband
I love my kids
I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadnt done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She dont even know what shes missing
And thats how she knows that she missed
Shes a sweetheart except when shes moody
Its hard to get through to her then
Depressed for a while when the youngest was born
Ah, but that happens now and again
Ah, she might take a drink with the housework
Or when michaels kept late at the shop
A martini or two before dinner
But she always knows when to stop
She says....
I swear I love my husband
And I love my kids
And, though I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadnt done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She dont even know what shes missing
And thats how she knows that she missed
Oh, they used to hold hands at the movies
Now its seldom, if ever, they go
Once you pay for the sitter, and parking the car
Theres no money left for the show
She was doing the dishes
When a glass fell and broke on the tile
And she cut her wrist, quite by mistake
It was real touch and go for a while
She says....
Oh god, I love my husband
And I love my kids
Well, I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadnt done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She dont even know what shes missing
And thats how she knows that she missed

River Man
Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
And fallen leaves.
Said she hadnt heard the news
Hadnt had the time to choose
A way to lose
But she believes.
Going to see the river man
Going to tell him all I can
About the plan
For lilac time.
If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
And all night shows
In summertime.
Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay
She wasnt sure.
For when she thought of summer rain
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain
And stayed for more.
Going to see the river man
Going to tell him all I can
About the ban
On feeling free.
If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
I dont suppose
Its meant for me.
Oh, how they come and go
Oh, how they come and go

Soft-hearted Hana
I ate it and at once my eyes could see you
No sooner had I ooped it down
I felt so far off from the ground I stood on.
My legs they seemed to me like high-rise buildings
My head was high up in the sky
My skin the sun began to fry like bacon.
And then somebody old appeared and asked had I come far . . .
And hadnt they just seen me up on haleakala . . .
I kept on body surfing to pretend I hadnt heard
There was someone there beside me, swimming like richard iii
And Im still smiling
Seven naked native girls swam seven sacred pools . . .
Lone-ranger smoking doobies said youre breaking all the rules . . .
Youd better get your clothes on or else therell be a row . . .
If it wasnt for my sunstroke I would take you on right now . . .
And Im still smiling.
I fell in love with my soft-hearted hana
She entered right in through my heart
And now although were miles apart
I still feel her.
She lives beneath the crater in the meadow
She moves among the fruit and grain
You can meet her after heavy rain has fallen.

With my lemon in your hand
Exhibition is your habit
Emotions second hand, oh, oh
Had to pull away to save me
Maybe next time around
And she said, dont you wannit?
Dont you want coca coca cocaine?
Hadnt planned to, could not stand to
Try it, friend, yeah, na, na, yeah
Whoo ooh ooh ooh
Heard a cry for mercy
In the city of the damned
Oh oh babe, damned
Impossible to go lower
The next stops on the ground
Oh, low on the ground
You want to know is it quite over
To fame and tears and losing hair
And I said didnt mean to... did not mean to f-fail
You didnt plan it, you overran it...yeeeeeeah!
You wanna do it, you wanna
You wanna do it when you wanna
You wanna do it, do it when you wanna
When you blow it, babe
You got to blow it right
Oh baby, if you fake it, mama
Baby, fake with all your might
When you fake it, mama
Please fake it right
For yourself, babe, will you fake it?
Youre fakin it for your life

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it when you wanna
Do it, do it, do it
Do it when you wanna
Oh, I can have you, baby
But I dont know what to do, yeah
Sometime, baby, nothin I could do
Wanna find myself a crystal
Payin through the nose
And when they couldnt resist you
I said just go with the flow
And now your stage is empty
And now the curtain, baby please.
Fold up your show
Hadnt planned to
Could not stand to

Hadnt planned it

The Blues Man
Hes just a singer
A natural-born guitar ringer
Kind of clinger
To sad ole songs.
Hes not a walk behinder
Hes a new note finder
But his names a reminder
Of a blues man thats already gone.
So he started drinkin
Took some things that messed up his thinkin
He was surely sinkin
When she came along.
He was alone in the hot lights
Not too much left in sight
But she changed all that in one night
When she sang him this song
Hey baby I love you
Hey baby I need you
Hey baby you dont need to prove to me
That youre some kind of macho man
Youve wasted so much of your life
Runnin through the dark night
Let me shine some love light
Down on this blues man.
He was so sick from speedin
All that stuff they said he was needin
If he was to keep pleasin
All of his fans
He got cuffed on dirt roads
He got sued over no shows
But she took all that ole load
Down off this blues man.
Hey baby I love you too
Hey baby I need you
Hey baby I do get tired
Of this travellin band
Im over 40 years old now
Nights would be cold now
If you hadnt stuck it out
For this blues man
Im over 40 years old now
Nights would be cold now
If you hadnt stuck it out
For this blues man

Hey Jealousy
(doug hopkins)
Tell me do you think itd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see Im in no shape for driving
And anyway Ive got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best Id ever had
If I hadnt blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy
And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you dont expect too much from me
You might not be let down
Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadnt blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy
She took my heart
Theres only one thing I couldnt start

Going Home
Writers: leo sayer & alan tarney
No crying no sighing Im going home
Im leaving no grieving Im going home
And theres no one here
And theres nothing here gonna turn me around
Been a lifetime here full of doubt and fear
Been the talk of the town
Im going home
Im going home
Im going home
Im smiling Im flying Im going home
No sad face no suitcase Im going home
And Im thinking back
To the girl I left is she waiting for me
When I left my heart wasnt in my hands
Is she waiting home for me
When I get home
When I get home
When I get home
I know my friends will be there
And they will welcome me
Ill wash away these memories
From these dirty streets
When I get home
When I get home
When I get home
When I get home
Im dreaming Im scheming Im going home
Im racing times wasting Im going home
And I see my home and I see my dream
I see everyone there
Going right back down to when I was free
And I hadnt a care
Im going home
Im going home
Im going home
And in my babys eyes
I see joy and pride
Uncover all those lies
That I left behind
When I get home
And I see my home and I see my dream
I see everyone there
Going right back down to when I was free
And I hadnt a care
When I get home

We Can Stop The Hurting
What has happened to our town
Theres people sleeping on the ground
Cold and lost, they fear the night
Left alone, theyll lose the fight
Hadnt we better reach for more than just a dime
Shouldnt we try to talk that boy out of his crime
Havent you had it knowing nothings getting solved
Maybe wed better, better get involved
Chorus:
We could stop the hurtin for awhile
We could stop the hurtin for awhile
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin
Families livin in their cars and kids run numbers out of bars
Knowing pride wont pay the bills, men work jobs beneath their skills
Hadnt we better hand out more than just a line
Shouldnt we try to find solutions with our minds
Havent you had it knowing nothings getting solved
Maybe wed better, better get involved

Magic
There must have been magic
The night that we met
If I hadnt stopped you
Id always regret
A few minutes later
Youd have been out that door
And Id have been lonely
Forever more
Forever more
Oh what made us do it?
Under what holy spell?
Natures mother knew it
Only too well
She reached out her fingers
To point at the sky
Leaving me helpless
Not knowing why
And this is the hour
That they turn out the light
Nothing but memories
Burning so bright
Burning so bright
Oh what made us do it?
Under what holy spell?
Natures mother knew it
Only too well
There must have been magic
The night that we met
If I hadnt stopped you
Id always regret
There must have been magic
There must have been magic
There must have been magic
The night that we met

I, I, I, iiiii. [x3]
What if I, had chosen to,
Make a left, when I should have made a right and,
What if I, followed though,
And chilled with my crew last night.
What if I, took the call and
Stayed on the phone when I should have been gone.
And What if I, hadnt turned around and seen you there.
If I could go back in time,
To when the stars aligned,
Would I find the strength again to talk to you,
Walk up to you.
If I could do it all again,
I wouldnt change a single thing.
Dont need to compromise, what I feel inside,
Dont need to clarify my position I,
Submit to destiny, so baby come with me,
Lets take it for a ride,
Baby, baby, I, I, I.
And furthermore, if youre looking for,
Someone to be around, baby Im down,
Lets take it to the point, no need to justify,
Baby, baby, I, I, I.
What if we, hadnt been,
In the same place that very same time and,
What if we, hadnt seen, all the possibilities.
What if he,
What if she, Stop!
I dont want to think about it,
What if I,
What if I,
Ooh, Never mind.
If I could go back in time,
To when the stars aligned,
Would I find the strength again to talk to you,
Walk up to you.
If I could do it all again,
I wouldnt change a single thing.
Dont need to compromise, what I feel inside,
Dont need to clarify my position I,

The Nerve
Im glad I had the nerve to talk to you that day
I could just have easily have let you get away
In that crowded airport, far from my hometown
If I had lost my courage then, you wouldnt be around
Im glad I had the nerve.
And Im glad he had the nerve to get down on his knees
And say I bought this ring for you, wont you wear it please?
My daddy sure touched somethin in my mommas heart somehow
If he hadnt, I sure wouldnt be here with you now
Im glad he had the nerve.
Or I never wouldve lived like this
Or learned like this
Or laughed like this
Or loved like this
Im glad he had the nerve to sail across the sea
My great grand-daddys great grandpa in 1833
He met an indian maiden in the smoky mountain mist
If they hadnt crossed that line, I would not exist
Im glad they had the nerve.
And Im glad he had the nerve, while staring into space
To give this universe a time and a place
With one tiny atom or an adam and an eve
However you look at it, whatever you believe
Im glad he had the nerve.
Or we never wouldve live like this
Or learned like this
Or laughed like this
Or loved like this
Thank God he had the nerve.
And Im glad I had the nerve to talk to you that day

Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight
(rodney crowell/donivan cowart)
Mary took to running with a travelin man
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
Such a sad case, so broken hearted
She say momma, I got to go, I gotta get outta here
I gotta get out of town; Im tired of hanging around
I gotta roll on between the ditches
Its just an ordinary story bout the way things go
Round and around nobody knows, but the highway
Goes on forever, that ol highway rolls on forever
Lord she never wouldve done it if she hadnt got drunk
If she hadnt started running with a travelin man
If she hadnt started taking those crazy changes
She say daughter, let me tell you bout the travelin kind
Everywhere hes goin such a very short time
Hell be long gone before you know it, hell be long
Gone before you know it
She say never have I known it when it felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it looked so right
Leaving louisiana in the broad daylight
This is down in the swampland, anything goes
Its alligator bait and the bars dont close
Its the real thing down in louisiana
Did you ever see a cajun when he really got mad
When he really got trouble like a daughter gone bad
It gets real hot down in louisiana
The stranger better move it or hes gonna get killed
Hes gonna have to get it or a shotgun will
It aint no time for lengthy speeches
There aint no time for lengthy speeches
She say never have I know it when it felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it looked so right
Leaving louisiana in the broad daylight
Its just an ordinary story bout the way things go
Round and around nobody knows, but the highway goes on forever
There aint no way to stop the water

Congratulations
Congratulations
And celebrations
When I tell everyone that youre in love
With me
Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know Im happy as can be.
Who could believe that I could be happy and
Contented
I used to think that happiness hadnt been
Invented
But that was in the bad old days before
I met you
When I let you
Walk into my heart
Congratulations...
I was afraid that maybe you thought you
Were above me
That I was only fooling myself to think you
Loved me
But then tonight you said you couldnt live
Without me
That round about me
You wanted to stay
Congratulations...

And jubilations

I want the world to know
Im happy as can be

Dime Store Mystery
He was lying banged and battered, skewered and bleeding
Talking crippled on the cross
Was his mind reeling and heaving hallucinating
Fleeing what a loss
The things he hadnt touched or kissed his senses
Slowly stripped away
Not like buddha not like vishnu
Life wouldnt rise through him again
I find it easy to believe
That he might question his beliefs
The beginning of the last temptation
Dime story mystery
The duality of nature, godly nature,
Human nature splits the soul
Fully human, fully divine and divided
The great immortal soul
Split into pieces, whirling pieces, opposites
Attract
From the front, the side, the back
The mind itself attacks
I know the feeling, I know it from before
Descartes through hegel belief is never sure
Dime store mystery, last temptation
I was sitting drumming thinking thumping pondering
The mysteries of life
Outside the city shrieking screaming whispering
The mysteries of life
Theres a funeral tomorrow
At st. patricks the bells will ring for you
Ah, what must you have been thinking
When you realized the time had come for you
I wish I hadnt thrown away my time
On so much human and so much less divine
The end of the last temptation
The end of a dime store mystery
