Summertime Is Past And Gone
(Bill Monroe)
(Full lyrics contributed by Sebastian Jeansson)
(On "The Million Dollar Quartet" Elvis sings)
Summertime is past and gone
I'm on my way back home
Summertime is past and and gone
And I'm on my way back home
To see the only one I ever loved
* Now the moon is shining bright
It lights my pathway tonight
Back to the only one I ever loved
** Oh I know she waits for me
Back in old Tenneessee
She was sent to me from God above
* Repeat
(Solo)
** Repeat
* Repeat

Home & Dry (Blank And Jones Remix)
So my baby's on the road
She's doing business selling loads
Charming everyone there
with that sweetest smile
*BRIDGE
Oh tonight, I miss you
Oh tonight, I wish you
could be here with me
But I won't see you
'til you've made it back again
*CHORUS
Home and dry
Home and dry
There's a plane at JFK
to fly you back from far away
All those dark and frantic
Transatlactic miles
*BRIDGE-repeat

All the way
through night and day
You fly on home tonight
Come to me
you know I'll be here
When you call tonight

Responsibility
Its not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(ooooooh)
(repeat paragraph)
I know for sometime
One day I would see you
(? ) what you say
Did I get it right
Is it you and me tonight ?
And you looked at me
And I knew wed be together
(be together)
You feel it too
What can we do
(feel, what can you do)
Come on, move up to me
I wanna whisper in your ear now
(do you want me)
When I get you home
Were gonna be alone
Disconnect the phone
When we wake up
You know the room is full of sunshine
We close our eyes and make a wish
Its not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(listen to what I say)
(ooooooh)
Its not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(its true)
(ooooooh)
Hey ! you call me back
cause Im not there when you want me
(do you want me)
The job on the phone
Every night and day
Ive got to get away
And on that we kiss
But I never said I loved you
(I love you)
Lets take it slow
Youve got to, got to let it go
Its not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(ooooooh)
(repeat paragraph)
(want you back, I need you back)
(ooooooh)
(repeat paragraph 5 times)
(want you back)
(I know I do)
(I need you back)
(I feel you do)
(want you back)
(I see you do)
(I need you back)
(I know you do)
(repeat paragraph)
What do you see
When youre looking straight at me
When I look at you
I tell you what I see
You dont belong to me
Sometimes its true
Youre gonna leave it when its over
(its over)
I close my eyes and make a wish
Its not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(ooooooh)
(repeat paragraph 5 times until fade)

Autumn Hello's
Sometimes for others at autumn time period,
Is time for goodbyes when summertime flys,
For autumn is next in season time keeping,
And summer is over and moonlight shines sooner,
To see the autumn early sunset,
Is the time to travel back,
Leaving behind the bright nights,
And early dawnings,
Summertime goodbyes,
And hello to,
Autumn hello's,
Makes some lovers cry,
For time to fly,
When moonlight shines sooner,
And summer nights no more linger,
Tis, when summertime lovers kiss and say goodbye,
Flying back to where they are from,
Leaving each other to fly back home,
Back to the regular days and events,
Back to the mudane schedule,
That made you book and fly away,
Yet, then you settle back in and think,
Of the times you had in summertime joys,
While others of all season,
Settle in and snuggle,
Planning their future together,
Knowing to each in all seasons,
While the whims and joys,
Of summertime loves,
Comes to a halt,
When both part and fly home,
Till,
Mabey they might meet up again,
When autumn, winter and spring has been,
Unless,
In that time and along the way,
They meet an autumn hello,
That keeps them,
Home,
Like all the rest,
That meet and fall in love,
That lasts for more than autumn hello's.

You Take Me Home
I was blinded by the city lights
LA livin' up the crazy life
Lookin' back on how far I'd come
Not quite sure what I was runnin' from
A million miles away from the world I knew
Who'd ever thought it'd lead me back to you...
Chorus
You take me to front porch swings
Mama singin "Cheatin' Heart"
Yeah what a rush
Catchin' lightnin bugs in a mason jar
You take me to county fairs
Bedtime prayers
Old wooden rockin' chairs
And all the things I loved I thought were gone
You take me home
You take me home
Took awhile to finally come around
And separate all that was lost and found
If there's one thing by now I better know
The grass ain't greener where it doesn't grow
I needed someone who would love me like you do
To lead me back to the simple truth
(repeat chorus)
Summer heat
Life's so sweet
And dancin' on daddy's feet
And all the things I loved I thought were gone
You take me home
You take me home
You take me home

Who's Crying Now
(Patrick Jason Matthews/George Teren)
You know you tore me up
You really wore me out
I swear I cried so much
That I nearly drowned
You were on to her
And I was on my own
Now it's you who calls
And it's me that's never home
chorus:
Who's crying now
Finally figured out
It could have been forever
Who's crying now
Knowing it's too late
To get us back together
I'm finally free
Back on my feet
It sure ain't me
Who's crying now
I've lost a few more pounds
I'm getting back in shape
If you could see me now
You'd do a double take
I'm shakin' off my past
I've got a whole new groove
I'm even back in love
But baby it ain't with you
Repeat chorus
Who's lonely now
Who's sad now that I don't miss
The love we had
Repeat chorus (out)

Autumn Goodbye
Chorus: I never promised you a happy ending
You never said you wouldnt make me cry
But summer love will keep us warm long after
Our autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye
Autumn goodbye
Thinkin of you
And the love of our lives
In the sweet summertime
So sad but true (so true, so true)
We must leave it behind
In our hearts, in our minds
Pre chorus: from april through september
Bittersweet was the love that we share
Dont forget
I remember
Repeat chorus (2x)
Memories can fade
But my heart has a place
For the smile on your face
And maybe someday
We can be more than friends
Love will find us again
Red leaves and blue tomorrows
Time will give back the love that we shared
On the time that we borrowed
Repeat chorus (2x)
Repeat pre chorus
Repeat chorus (2x)
Well leave behind
The summertime
Our hearts, our minds
They will remind
We wont forget
The day we met
The day we cried
Autumn goodbye

A Score You Will Remember
You once said,
You couldn't feel 'this'...
What you have now,
For me.
Back then.
And you once said,
I was a pest...
And from you flee.
Remember when,
Back then.
I might have been that guy...
Back then.
But then...
I'm much wiser now,
Then anytime
I've ever been...
In time before.
I'm not the one to repeat a repeat,
Ever again!
I'm not the one to repeat a repeat,
Ever again!
And then come those moments...
When my heart, my ears and eyes,
Are fixed on 'what if' and maybe.
You once said,
You couldn't feel 'this'...
For me,
Back then.
In that 'when' we lived in,
Back then.
Back when...
My heart, my ears and eyes,
Were fixed on 'what if' wishes and 'maybee'.
And it 'bees' that way sometimes!
I'm not the one to repeat a repeat...
Ever again!
But you are the one who once said,
You could not 'feel' 'this'...
For me.
Back then,
And...
You guaranteed me no win.
And here you've come to plead with me...
To,
Rescue you...
Again.
Like a windmill stirring up a breeze...
To set you free.
I might have been that guy...
Back then.
But then...
I'm much wiser now,
Then anytime
I've ever been before.
And even though you once showed me the door...
It is you I can't ignore.
And,
Even though you once showed me the door...
Before,
It is you I can't ignore.
Even though it's you I can't ignore.
It's you I choose to explore,
With a score you will remember.

Lights Out
Wind blows back and the batons charging
It winds all the way
Right to the butt of my gun
Maybe now your time has come
From the back streets theres a rumblin
Smell of anarchy
No more nice time, bright boy shoe shines
Pie in the sky dreams
* lights out, lights out in london
Hold em tight til the end
Better now you know well never
Wait til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in london
Hold em tight til the end
God knows when Im comin on [my] run
Heaven help those who help themselves
Thats the way it goes
The frightening thoughts of whats been taught
And now it shows
* repeat
[instrumental]
* repeat
You keep comin, theres no runnin
Tried a thousand times
Under your feet grass is growin
Time we said goodbye
* repeat
Lights out, lights out in london
Lights out, lights out in london

Take Me Back
(john hobbs, jerry fuller)
Now and then I open up a trunk full of old souvenirs
Thumb through a scrapbook holding back the tears
I keep wishing we could do it once more
Just the way we did before
Chorus:
Take me back to sycamore park
Put the radio dial on the golden oldies
Hey lay a blanket down and hold me
We can stay all night
By the light of the moon above
So take me back, back to love
Ever since you took me to the big city
Looking for the start
Living in the fast lane
Is tearing us apart
Sometimes dont you want to trade it all in
For a little way back when
Repeat chorus
Well I remember sneaking out the back
Mama thought I was asleep
Watching for your headlights
Creeping down the street
Trying to steal a kiss
Just anyway we can
Back where it all began
Repeat chorus x2

(dieter bohlen)
Producer for bonnie: dieter bohlen
Recorded in 1994, bonnies last single on the hansa label. this single was to promote the comeback singles collection 90-94. lyrics taken from careful listening.
I dream of home again
A thousand voices call to me
A cry that splits the night
Woke up the soul inside my memories
I chose to walk alone
To search and find my destiny
So many lonesome roads
Lead me away from where I long to be
When I awake and see a cold and empty room
I sit alone and think of places I once knew
The friends that I had loved and left behind
Oh, how could I have been so blind?
Back home
Where all the love is that I need
Where all my family waits for me
Back home
I close my eyes and I can see
Where the river meets the sea
Back home
There is no better place than home for me
cause home is where Ill find my destiny
Im going home again and I just cant wait to see
The folks that I have missed
A mothers tender kiss, so soft, so sweet
Ill hold her in my arms, like Id never let her go
My familys my home and I will tell them that I love them so
Oh I know Ive been away so very long
That I hurt you when I left and I was wrong
And I see that home is where my heart belongs
So hang on heart, cause her I come
Back home
Where all the love is that I need
Where all my family waits for me
Back home
I close my eyes and I can see
Where the river meets the sea
Back home
There is no better place than home for me
cause home is where Ill find my destiny
Back home
Where all the love is that I need
Where all my family waits for me
Back home
I close my eyes and I can see
Where the river meets the sea
Back home
There is no better place than home for me
cause home is where Ill find my destiny

Country Comfort
Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
As the village children fight each other for their share
And the six-o-nine goes roaring past the creek
As Deacon Lee prepares his sermon for next week
I saw Grandma yesterday down at the store
Well she's really doing fine for eighty-four
And she asked me if sometime I could fix her barn
The poor old girl she needs a hand to run that farm
Chorus:
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
It's the sweetest sound these ears have ever known
It's just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comfort and a truck that's goin' back home
Oh it's goin' back home
Down at the well they've got a new machine
The foreman says it'll cut manpower by fifteen
"Hey but that ain't natural" old Clay would say
You see he's a horse-drawn man until his dying day
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
Country comfort and a truck that's goin' back home
Whoa, it's goin' back home
Hey take me back home
And a truck, and a truck that's goin' back home
Any truck

Cuz Youre Gone
You whispered in my mouth,
And I spit you words right back.
How good do you think Ill look,
When the words start to break and crack.
You beat your head upon your wall,
You disconnect yourself from it all.
Cuz you know that youre so beautiful and so untouchable,
And I want to get in so bad, and I dont know how.
Cuz your gone, and you aint coming back.
Yeah youre gone, and you aint coming back.
You held your hand so close,
And I just cant push you away.
I wished you could be my girl,
But youre stuck in your own world.

Simply Irristible
Oh, oh yeah baby
Oh, oh, yeah, oh
Hotter than new orleans
In summertime youre so fine
You walk by now I wish I could press rewind
You shining like a disco ball
I cant say no
(cant say no)
We probably could break some laws
And not be wrong
1 - simply irresistible
That is you, that is me
Cant wait to get physical
I want you, you want me
Now its getting critical
I need you, you need me
Im so tired of typical
And that aint you, that aint me
Picture us in florida
In the big beach house, full moon out, hey
We probably would melt the couch
When we sit down
And probably take it to the floor
Back and forth (back and forth)
We light up the room like we had a torch
Trust me when I tell you
I anticipate us as one
Next well break to see your face
See my face, Im for real
My good taste and your good shape
They relate no question
Hold my hand, Ill hold your waist
Well be straight face to face
Repeat 1 (2x)
Hotter than new orleans
At twelve oclock we so high
We turn heads at every spot
With what weve got
(what weve got)
I know we got something good, something real
Us as one, just aint fair
No way cause were
Repeat 1 till end

In The Summertime
I was in your presence for an hour or so
Or was it a day? I truly dont know.
Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low
By that soft and shining sea.
Did you respect me for what I did
Or for what I didnt do, or for keeping it hid?
Did I lose my mind when I tried to get rid
Of everything you see?
In the summertime, ah in the summertime,
In the summertime when you were with me.
I got the heart and you got the blood,
We cut through iron and we cut through mud.
Then came the warnin that was before the flood
That set everybody free.
Fools they made a mock of sin,
Our loyalty they tried to win
But you were closer to me than my next of kin
When they didnt want to know or see.
In the summertime, ah in the summertime,
In the summertime when you were with me.
Strangers, they meddled in our affairs,
Poverty and shame was theirs.
But all that sufferin was not to be compared
With the glory that is to be.
And Im still carrying the gift you gave,
Its a part of me now, its been cherished and saved,
Itll be with me unto the grave
And then unto eternity.
In the summertime, ah in the summertime,
In the summertime when you were with me.

Sunny Afternoon (feat. Space)
Words and music by Raymond Davies
In the summertime
The taxmans taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
And I cant sail my yacht
Hes taken everything Ive got
All Ive gots this sunny afternoon
Save me, from this squeeze
Ive got a big fat momma tryin to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime (everything seems fine)
My girlfriends gone off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty
And now Im sitting here
Sipping on my ice cold beer
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
Help me, sail away
Give me two good reasons why I ought to stay
Cos I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
Everything is fine because its the summertime
In the summertime
(I dont care about a doggone thing)
in the summertime
(Im broke, Ive skint, but its the summertime)
In the summertime
(even though I aint got a dime, in the summertime, I dont have a dime)
In the summertime
(I just got this ice cold beer, everything seems fine)
In the summertime
(Nothing seems to matter)

Baby Come Back
[Verse 1]
I was a fool to let you go
Let you walk right out my door
It was a bad mistake I made
And i regret it to this day
If I had a second chance
Girl i promise I'd make it last
So tonight I erase my pride
If you let me back inside
[Chorus]
Baby come back
Baby come back to me
I don't want to be free
Baby come back to me
Baby come back
[Repeat 2x]
[Verse2]
Over and over I try to forget you
But it seems too hard
My feelings for you I can't disregard
You're not my baby anymore baby
All I want is to bring your love back baby
It's not about sex baby
You're the best lady
Please have baby
Forever my lady

Back home, back home
Yes, I'm going back home
Why I can't believe it's been this long
Since I've seen mom and dad
When I left my mountain home behind
I left them both so sad
My brothers and my sisters that were babies then are grown
Years have past and now at last, I'm on my way back home
Back home, back home
Yes I'm going back home
To the factory smoke and city life, I'm sayin' so long
I've shed a lot of tears through all the years that I've been gone
And I've spent a lot of time a' wishin' I could go back home
I got a letter from mama an'
Mama asked me if I'd come back home
She says it sure is lonesome now
Since all of us kids are all growed up and gone
I just can't hardly stand the thoughts of
Momma and daddy being left there all alone
That's really all I need to know
And now I'm on the road back home
Back home, back home
Yes, I'm going back home
To the smog an' smoke an' city life, I'm sayin' so long
I've shed a lot of tears through all the years that I've been gone
And I've spent a lot of time a' wishin' I could go back home
Back home, back home
Yes, I'm going back home

If Hell Had A Jukebox
(Travis Tritt. Lee Rogers)
You left me for a dream you had to follow
But I thought goodbye wouldn't last that long
You'd go off chasin' rainbows till you realized I loved you
And then run back to my arms where you belong
But months have passed, I guess I was mistakem
And love was something I thought I knew well
But when you called me on the phone, asking when you'd come back home
You simply told me I could go to Hell
(Well/And) Honey, if Hell had a jukebox
And the Devil kept it full of hurtin' songs
You could find me there this evening
With the broken hearted grieving
Prayin like hell you would come back home
I've looked at all the pictures from our good times
And tried to figure out where we went wrong
And I've dropped a million quarters down the jukebox
'Cause I'm still haunted by what used to be our song
I wish this mental torture would release me
Lord, I've give all I had for what it's worth
I don't see how the fires below, where you wanted me to go
Could be worse than Hell I'm living here on Earth
Repeat Chorus
Yes, you could find me there this evening
With the brokenhearted grieving
Prayin' like hell you would come back home

Back To
When the night wind chills your heart
when you are away from home,
you wish you were back there
tucked up in your warm bed
away from the chilling night
that penetrates your soul.
Back to those warm rooms
you call your loving home.
Back to your loved one
who waits patiently for you.
Back to the safety of your dreams
vowing to never leave again,
even if for just one day.
Back from the night wind chill
to your own castle walls.
Back to the place where
your heart calls, home.
