How Long Blues
Now listen to me mama, I can't sleep no more around here
How long, how long, ain't had no loving, how long, how long
I hate that train, train that carried my babe away
And left me standing, how long, how long
Ain't had no loving since my babe been gone
Now listen to me mama, why did you make me go around here
Ain't had no loving, how long, how long

How Long Blues
(by leroy carr)
How long, baby how long,
Has that evening train been gone?
How long, how how long, baby how long?
Went to the station, didnt see no train.
Down in my heart, I have an aching pain.
How long, how how long, baby how long?
I feel disgusted, I feel so bad
Thinking bout the good time that I once had had.
How long, how how long, baby how long?
I could see the green grass growing on the hill;
I aint seen no greenback on a dollar bill.
How long, how how long, baby how long?
Youre gonna be sorry you feel so blue.
When you want me, baby, I declare I want, want you.
How long, how how long, baby how long?
Dont have no money for to ride the train.
I would ride the rugs, baby, to be with you again.
How long, how how long, baby how long?
How long, baby how long
Must I keep my, my watching point?
How long, how how long, baby how long?

As Long As You're Loving Me
Some people say that the fate of a man
Is written down in the plam of his hand
Others say they can see it all in the cards and how they fall
I don't need my fortune told
As long as I've got you to hold
I can live with the mystery as long as you're loving me
Looking up at the stars tonight
I can't read 'em but I love the light
Heaven knows I'm right where I wanna be
As long as you're loving me
I don't need a crystal ball
Wouldn't even wanna know at all
I've got everything I need
As long as you're loving me
Who knows what tomorrow brings
One day changes everything
I'm willing to wait and see
As long as you're loving me
Looking up at the stars tonight
I can't read 'em but I love the light
Heaven knows I'm right where I wanna be
As long as you're loving me
I don't need my fortune told
As long as I've got you to hold
I can live with the mystery as long as you're loving me
I've got everything I need as long as you're loving me
As long as you're loving me
Oh, as long as you're loving me

You Can Make Me Dance, Sing Or Anything
(rod stewart, ron wood, kenny jones, tetsu yamauchi, ian mclagan)
Hey baby, I wanna say somethin to ya, listen
Sometimes when I get out of my head
And I say all the wrong things
Sometimes I know I stay out late at night
And I get back fighting, hey babe
Somehow all my plans
Keep slippin through my hands
And I end up crying, but listen
I can be a millionaire
Honey when youre standing there
Youre so exciting
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing, and I love it
Sometimes I wanna get up so early
And get away from here girl
Summers gone, and before long
North winds blow, that bring the snow
Ill keep us warm girl
My schemes it seems, are merely dreams
Fading with each morning, hey babe
But this old heart of mine
Is far too proud not to keep on tryin
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing, yeah baby
Ah yeah
So little bird dont fly away
Want you here every day
Dont ever leave me
Id rather lose both my eyes
Than never see your smiling face again girl
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing
Hey babe
Keep on loving me babe, yeah
Keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving, ooh babe
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling, darling, darling, darling
Ha ha
Woww, alright
Hey baby
Oh darling
Keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling

As Long As...
As long as their is water in ocean, as long as their is brightnes in sun, as long as moon brighting the night, as long as millions of birds cannot overshadow the brightness of d sky, as long as their is beauty in nature, as long as their is colour in rainbow, as long as their is not limit to the sky, as long as days follow the nite, as long as sunset is pretty, as long as diamon is to be precious, as long as secret are to heart, as long as pictures are meant for memories, as long as human are meant to be born, to live and die! my love for you will never die, my fillings for you will never fade, as long as i'm still breathing, i can never stop loving you.

Love An Affection
(coverdale/moody)
Well, I love the way you walk
With your skin tight stride,
You got my eyes wide open
An my loose tongue tied
A french kiss mouth
An a smile so bad,
Youre the finest woman
That I ever had
So its alright,
Do anything you wanna do
Nobody had to tell you
How to make a mans heart bleed,
Your mama always knew
You was born to succeed
I can see the honey juice
Dripping off your lips,
Girl, you got the midas touch
Its in your fingertips
But its alright,
Do anything you wanna do
cos after midnight, Ill be alright
Riding on cupids train,
You give me loving, like Ive never had before,
Im back in the saddle again
So give me love an affection,
Love an affection
A little love an affection
Sure nuff goes a long, long way
You put your arms around me
Like a circle round the sun,
Your eyes turn on the hypnotising game
You play for fun
Im caught in your spell
Just like the spider an the fly,
An I cant break away from you
No matter how I try
But, its alright,
Do anything you wanna do
cos after midnight, Ill be alright
Riding on cupids train,
You give me loving, like Ive never had before,
Im back in the saddle again
So give me love an affection,
Love an affection
A little love an affection
Sure nuff goes a long, long way
cos after midnight, Ill be alright
Riding on cupids train,
You give me loving, like Ive never had before,
Im back in the saddle again
So give me love an affection,
Love an affection
A little love an affection
Sure nuff goes a long, long way
Love an affection
A little love an affection
Baby, baby, love an affection
Sure nuff goes a long, long way
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
I need love an affection,
Sure nuff goes a long, long way...

As Long As You're Loving Me
Ohhh
Ooohhhh
I believe in you
This is real for me
What I feel for you
Didn't Come so naturally
At first I was afraid
Couldn't fight the fight
Couldn't keep the light on
With any other lights, oh love, oh love
Now I'm ready for the world no matter what it brings

I can move mountains, I can part seas
My heart will be open for eternity
As long as you're loving me
Yeah, yeah

This is what feels right
The moment I wake up
Until we say goodnight
And I'm stronger than I was
I've reached down and I've touched
It's easier to lie down with you on my side
On the side
Now I'm ready for the world no matter how it spins
Cause I'll always be in it with you
As long as you're loving me
As long as you're loving me (as long as you're loving me)

My heart will be open for eternity

Show Tune II
That's the long and short of it
now you know
how I've been waiting all these years
where I'm coming from
that's the long and short of it.
That's the long and short of it
now you see
just how hot hot jazz was
how it turned about, my bookcase
that's the long and short of it.
That's the long and short of it
now you know
that my arrest record's
not my best record
that's the long and short of it.
That's the long and short of it
now you see
how the Past's like a love
you can neither leave nor live
that's the long and short of it
That's the long and short of it
now you know
it was no gun in my pocket
it was a rocket
that's the long and short of it.
That's the long and short of it
and you're wond'ring dear
how I kept so pure
hull, it was easy
that's the long and short of it.
That's the long and short of it
now you see
so bounce your head
into bed
that's the long and short of it.
That's the long and short of it
read the blues
in these tattoos
make a song of it
that's the short and long of it.
How I wish
there was a bridge-
then I could burn it;
or the train
of a refrain
then I could board it
but there isn't
no there isn't, so...

A Simple Promise
As long as I can breathe
As long as I am Me
As long as I can feel
As long as day still turns to night
As long as life remains in flux
As long as stars and the moon shine bright
As long as I can love
I will be here for you
A true forever, loving friend..
No matter what the cost.

Train Long Gone
(Gone!) Well, I hate how that word
Rattles all around in this room
(Alone,) with a memory so strong
I could sweep it up with a broom.
(Tears,) if I shed anymore I'm afraid
They might wear out my face
(Clear,) Yes, It's clear to me now
That her love can never be replaced.
Love may be gone but never forgotten
The memory won't leave you alone
And the train may be long gone from the station
But you still hear the whistle moan.
Still hear the whistle moan.
--- Instrumental ---
(Time,) time got so slow and thick
That the clock hardly ticks anymore
(Crime,) it's a crime how I sit here
And stare like a dog at the door.
(Blame,) Aw yes, I'll take the blame
I admit I did not treat her right
(Shame,) It's a shame laying here
All alone on this cold, windy night.
Love may be gone but never forgotten
The memory won't leave you alone
And the train may be long gone from the station
But you still hear the whistle moan.
Still hear the whistle moan.
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
Train gone, long gone train.
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
Train gone, long gone train.
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
Train gone, long gone train.
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh.
Love may be gone but never forgotten
The memory won't leave you alone
And the train may be long gone from the station
But you can still hear the whistle moan.
Still hear the whistle moan.
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
Train gone, long gone train.
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
Train, long gone train.
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
Train, long gone train.
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
Train gone, long gone train.
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
Train, long gone train.
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
Long gone train.
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
Train, long gone train.
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh

Long Way To Go
We still got a long way to go
We still got a long way to go
We all got a long way to go
What's keeping us apart isn't selfishness
What's holding us together isn't love
Listen to the man who's been
Touched all his life
Yes he's the one they call the fool
Where is the saviour of the sidewalk life
And the road that takes us to the crusades
I've seen the shadows
As they're moving in my sleep
Leading the blind poet to his grave
We still got a long way to go
We still got a long way to go
Yes we all got a long way to go
Please don't waste your energy on me my friend
Cause we still got a long way to go
We'll meet again some day
But right now just go away
Cause I still got a long way to go
The silence is speaking
So why am I weeping
I guess I love it
I love it to death
We still got a long way to go
Yes we still got a long way to go
Yes we all got a long way to go

Just A Little Love
When I think that you got everything that you need,
you only ask for more.
You got dresses from Paris and a Jaguar car,
Nasty habits that no sheik could afford.
Easy money and what it buys.
is the loneliest kind of high.
If you ever just give it a try,
Just a little love (just a little love)
Goes a long way.
A little love goes a long, long way.
Just a little love (just a little love)
Just a little love
A little love goes a long, long, long, long way.
You bought a high-dollar house in the Hollywood hills,
the zip code of the stars.
Into nouvelle cuisine, candy keeps you lean.
The doctor takes your credit card.
In the emptiness of the night, when you never feel satisfied.
And you're missin' what could make it right.
Just a little love (just a little love)
Goes a long way.
A little love goes a long, long way.
Just a little love (just a little love)
Just a little love
A little love goes a long, long, long, long way.
Oh yeah.
Aren't you carryin' cash just a little too far?
What happens when it's gone?
Every pleasure gets old, like a river runs dry.
The things that last come down to one.
Just a little love, goes a long way.
A little love goes a long, long way.
Just a little love, just a little love,
A little love goes a long, long, long, long way.
Just a little love, goes a long way.
A little love goes a long, long way.
Just a little love, a little love,
A little love goes a long, long, long, long way.

How long has it been
How long you gonna keep me wondering
How long before you see

Its Been A Long Long Time
Its been a long time...
Since I held you tight.
Its been a long time...
Everyday in this fight.
Its been a long...long...time.
Its been a long time...
Since I've had a kiss.
Its been a long time...
You're pretty blue eyes I miss.
Its been a long...long...time.
Its been a long time...
This Iraqi tour.
Its been a long time...
I miss you so and more.
Its been a long...long...time.
Its been a long time...
Hot days with freezing nights.
Its been a long time...
Sunburned face, mosquito bites.
Its been a long...long...time.
Its been a long time...
Had a real bad day.
Its been a long time...
Lost some soldiers today.
Its been a long...long...time.
Its been a long time...
I suffer everyday.
Its been a long time...
For me to be away.
Its been a long...long...time.
Its been a long time...
For me to be alone.
Its been a long time...
No talking on the telephone.
Its been a long...long...time.
Its been a long time...
Since you heard me say...
Baby, my sweet darling...
I'm leaving Iraq today!

Animal Rights (A Good Cat)
A cat is a good cat,
no matter what colour, white or black,
as long as it catches,
the naughty rats.
A cat is a good cat,
as long as it does not make any mess,
by peeing and poohing on my dress.
A cat is a good cat,
as long as it does not sleep on my mattress,
between me and my mistress.
as long as it does not make any distress,
during our loving act.
A cat is a good cat,
as long as it keeps our secret,
by not letting out of the bag.

Fool For Your Loving
(coverdale/marsden/moody)
I was born under a bad sign,
Left out in the cold
Im a lonely man who knows
Just what it means to lose control
But, I took all the heartache
And turned it to shame,
Now Im moving, moving on,
And I aint taking the blame
Dont come running to me,
I know Ive done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man
So I can say it to you, babe
Ill be a fool for your loving no more,
A fool for your loving no more
Im so tired of trying, I always end up crying,
Fool for your loving no more
Ill be a fool for your loving no more
Im tired of hiding my feelings,
You left me lonely too long
I gave my heart, and you tore it apart,
Oh, baby, you done me wrong
Dont come running to me,
I know Ive done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man
So I can say it to you, babe
Ill be a fool for your loving no more,
A fool for your loving no more
Im so tired of trying, I always end up crying,
Fool for your loving no more
Ill be a fool for your loving no more
Ill be a fool for your loving no more, no more, no more
So I can say it to you, babe
Ill be a fool for your loving no more,
A fool for your loving no more
Im so tired of trying, I always end up crying,
Fool for your loving no more
A fool for your loving no more
Fool for your loving no more...

So Long Ago (Love Poem)
The loving look
Was all it took
To melt my heart,
My life to start,
So long ago.
Blossom blush,
Schoolgirl crush,
To take it slow,
We grew to know,
So long ago.
In midst of loving,
That 18 feeling,
When two are one,
And two were one,
So long ago.

There were time and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger,
As you become a haven to me
Oh i've been loving you a little too long
I dont wanna stop now, oh with you my life,
Has been so wonderful i can't stop now
There were times and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger
As our affair [affair] grows old
I've been loving you a little too long, long,
I don't want to stop now oh, oh, oh
I've been loving you a little bit too long
I don't wanna stop now no, no, no

As you become a habit to me
Ooh, and loving you a little too long

Oh with you my life has been so wonderful
I just can't stop now
You're tired and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger
As our affair grows old
And i've been loving you a little too long
