I Tried To Leave You
I tried to leave you, I dont deny
I closed the book on us, at least a hundred times.
Id wake up every morning by your side.
The years go by, you lose your pride.
The babys crying, so you do not go outside,
And all your work its right before your eyes.
Goodnight, my darling, I hope youre satisfied,
The bed is kind of narrow, but my arms are open wide.
And heres a man still working for your smile.

Youre All I Need To Get By
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
When I was just a little girl
I wanted the world at my feet
Now all thats changed
cause I have love
And now I do can see
Youre all I need to get by
Like the sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You were my destiny
With arms open wide
I threw away my pride
Ill sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life to you
I will go, where you lead
Always there in time of need
And when you lose your will
Ill be there to push you up the hill
Theres no, no looking back for us
Weve got love
Sure enough
Thats enough
Youre all I need to get by
All, youre all I need to get by
Like an mother protects his nest
For you Ill do my best
Stand by you like a tree
Dare anybody to try to move me
Darling in you I found
Strength where I was torn down
Dont know whats in store
But together we can open any door
Just to do whats good for you
And inspire you a little higher
I know you can make a woman
Out of a soul that didnt have a goal
cause we, we got the right foundation
And with love and determination
Youre all I want to strive for and do a little more
All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into
Youre all I need to get by
All, youre all I need to get by

I'm Never Gonna Leave Your Side
I feel like a song without the words
A man without a soul
A bird without its wings
A heart without a home
I feel like a knight without a sword
The sky without the sun
cos you are the one
I feel like a ship beneath the waves
A child that lost its way
A door without a key
A face without a name
I feel like a breath without the air
And every day's the same
since you've gone away
I gotta have a reason to wake up in the morning
You used to be the one that put a smile on my face
There are no words that could describe how I miss you
and I miss you everyday
yeah
and I'm never gonna leave your side
and I'm never gonna leave your side again
still holding on girl
I won't let you go
cos when I'm lying in your arms
I know im home
They tell me that a man can lose his mind
Living in the pain
The call in times gone by
The crying in the rain
You know ive wasted half the time
And i'm on my knees again
till you come to me
yeah
I gotta have a reason to wake up in the morning
You used to be the one that put a smile on my face
There are no words that could describe how I miss you
and I miss you everyday
yeah
and I'm never gonna leave your side
and I'm never gonna leave your side again
still holding on girl
I won't let you go
I lay my head against your heart
I know im home
I know im home
I know im home
and I'm never gonna leave your side
and I'm never gonna leave your side again
still holding on girl
I won't let you go
cos when im lying in your arms
i know im home

Youre Kind
Words & music by paul simon
Youre kind
Youre so kind
You rescued me when I was blind
And you put me on your pillow
When I was on the wall
Youre kind, so kind, so kind
And youre good
Youre so good
You introduced me to your neighborhood
Seems like I aint never had
So many friends before
Thats because youre good
Youre so good
Why you dont treat me like
The other humans do
Is just a mystery to me
It gets me agitated when I think that
Youre gonna love me now indefinitely
So goodbye, goodbye
Im gonna leave you now
And heres the reason why
I like to sleep with the window open
And you keep the window closed
So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Doot doot doot doot doot
Oh, oh, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Im Satisfied With You
You dont dress up in satin,
You dont wear diamond rings,
But Im satisfied with you.
You look just like an angel but you havent got wings,
But Im satisfied with you.
Id rather have you just the way that you are
Than change you for somebody new.
Maybe I could do better if I reached for a star,
But Im satisfied with you.
Youre not made out of candy
But youre as sweet as you can be
So Im satisfied with you.
I just cant see no reason why you bother with me,
But Im satisfied with you.
I often wonder if its all a mistake;
Its hard to believe that its true.
But if Im only dreaming, I sure dont want to wake,
cause Im satisfied with you.
Im satisfied with you.

Never Gonna Leave Your Side
I feel like a song without the words, a man without a soul, a bird without it's wings, a

I feel like a knight without a sword, a sky without the sun 'cos you're the one.
I feel like ship beneath the waves, a child who's lost it's way, a door without a key,
a face without a name.
I feel like a breath without the air, and everyday's the same, since you've gone away.
I gotta have a reason to wake up in the morning,

and i'm never gonna leave your side, again
I'm still holding on girl, i won't let you go'
'cos when i'm lying in your arms i know i'm home.
They tell me a man can loose his mind living in pain,
the callin times gone by, i'm crying in the rain.
You know i've wasted half the time and i'm on my knees again,
'till you come to me. (yeah)
I gotta have a reason to wake up in the morning,
You used to be that one who put a smile on my face.
There are no words that could describe how i miss you,

Seven Years
Theres thunder rolling in your eyes
Its raining in your heart
What lies around the corner
You have seen an hundred times
But you never thought anything like it would happen to you
Babys gone
He walked out on you
Seven years have come and gone
All that time for you
And now both our hearts must beat the drum
To a different tune
Send all those dreams away baby
You can lose yourself in yourself
Hurt yourself a little more
Turn the key and hate the boy
Forget a soul in distress, leave the real world to others
Thats not the way hes coming back ever again
Babys gone
Now what are you gonna do
Seven years have come and gone
All that time for you
And now both our hearts must beat the drum
To a different tune
Send all those dreams away baby
Each time I see a love, a love thats dying
I know what I would do, I know what I would do
But you cant see cause your heart is the way girl youre blinded
And its hurting so bad, and its hurting so bad
Hes so gone, gone away and you cant find him
Was there ever a day, just one day you were happy
Believe in the power of love everlasting
To the end of all time, to the end of all time
In a funny way I dont feel sorry, youre getting what you served
Just you remember very well the lesson you have learned
And its august now, your seven years are gone
All that time for you
Send all those dreams away baby

Milkcow Blues Boogie
(words & music by k. arnold)
Well, I woke up this morning,
And I looked out the door.
I can tell that old milk cow
By the way she lowed.
Hold it fellows, that dont move me.
Lets get real, real gone for a change.
Well, I woke up this morning
And I looked out the door
I can tell that that old milk cow
I can tell the way she lowed.
Well, if youve seen my milk cow,
Please ride her on home.
I aint had no milk or butter
Since that cows been gone.
Well, I tried to treat you right,
Day by day.
Get out your little prayer book
Get down on your knees and pray.
For youre gonna need,
Youre gonna need your loving daddys help someday.
Well, then youre gonna be sorry
For treating me this way.
Well, believe me, dont that sun look good going down?
Well, believe me, dont that sun look good going down?
Well, dont that old moon look lonesome
When your babys not around.
Well, I tried everything to get along with you.
Im gonna tell you what Im going do.
Im gonna quit my crying, Im gonna leave you alone.
If you dont believe Im leaving, you can count the days im
Gone.
Im gonna leave.
Youre gonna need your loving daddys help someday.
Well, youre gonna be sorry
You treated me this way.

Whenever Youre Gone
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
I cant go any further now, only if you come with me
Only if you can take my hand and hold me in your arms
If you come and look into my eyes, iii see it all more clearly
All of the tears youve seen my cry
Youll take them all away
If you come and open up my eyes and hold me
Take me away and ease my mind
Just come and hold me tight
Chorus:
Whenever youre gone its lonely
Whenever youre gone I cant face the light of day
Its too many times Ive been on my own
With a burning in my heart
Whenever youre gone
Look at the face you see before you, cant you be open to me
Cant you believe what we have, dont throw it away
Believe in me now dont criticize, its only the beginning
Cant you believe these desperate eyes, believe in what we say
If you came and open up me eyes and hold me
Then I can open up my mind, and I will hold you tight
Chorus
I miss you so, and friends dont understand when I dont want to speak
When youre gone I feel so alone
And I cant sleep for crying, and deep inside I feel like dying

Let Me Wake Up In Your Arms
Another lonely monday morning and I dont want to face the world outside
No control
You got someone there to make you smile
But I cry alone
Givin those secret feeling
You never cooperate , share your love with me
I try in vain to seize your heart
Please dont keep me waiting for that sign
Give me one good reason why you say goodnight and mean goodbye
Please let me
Let me wake up in your arms
Let me go down in your dreams
There is so much we can do before tomorrow and what tomorrow means
I want to get close to you
Every single word I swear is true
On bended knees,i beg you
Let me wake up in your arms
Its gotta be now or never that heaven in your eyes
You touch me hand and I just die
If you got no one there to see you through , Im standing by
I give you my secret feelings
Another lonely monday morning and I dont want to face the truth inside
cause youre not mine
Maybe Ive been reachin far too high
I may be somebody you dont know
But I wont let you forget me , let me
Let me wake up in your arms
Let me go down in your dreams
There is so much we can do before tomorrow and what tomorrow means

All I See Is You
(clive westlake / ben wiesman)
I tried so hard
All summer through
Not to think too much of you
But the more I try
The more I find
I just cant leave the past behind
Times that are happy
Are times that are few
And once I was happy
When I had you
But days have come and gone
Since you were here
Nights are twice as long
Without you near
Pictures on my mind
Stand out so clear
No matter where I am
Or what I do
My darling
All I see is you
Youre there in every dream
I ever dream
There at every place
Ive ever been
Everyday I find
Youre in my heart
And on my mind
I close my eyes
But Im not blind
I see you still
And when I throw my arms out wide
I find that youre not by my side
But one thing is for sure
Until I do
All I see is you
Everyday I find
Youre in my heart
And on my mind
I close my eyes
But Im not blind
I see you still, oh
I wont live again
til Im with you
Oh, darling
I wont love again
Unless its with you
So until the day
When you are back with me to stay
In every way
All I see is you

One More Story
One more story
Then its time for bed
One more fairy tale
Then rest your weary head
One more kiss, Ill turn out the lights
Everythings gonna be all right
Ill still be here when you wake up in the morning
Close your eyes, say goodnight
Go to sleep now
Youve had a busy day
Hold me in your dreams
I wont be far away
One more kiss then Ill turn out the lights
Everythings gonna be all right
Ill still be here when you wake up in the morning
Close your eyes, say goodnight
I cant believe just how fast youre growing
Im gonna cry when youre old enough
To go and be on your own
But until that very moment
Everythings gonna be all right
Youll still be here when I wake up in the morning
Close your eyes, say goodnight
Everythings gonna be all right

Maybe
Written by orbison/dees.
Crazy heart your babys gone, dont you know? .
Empty arms give up, give up, come on let go.
And maybe I will be alright.
And maybe Ill get through tonight.
Then maybe I will see you tomorrow.
Misty eyes dont see that face in every tear.
Longing lips dont speak that name, theres no one here.
And maybe I will see the dawn.
And maybe Ill get by alone.
Then maybe I will lose my sorrow.
In a hundred years trough a million tears,
Maybe,maybe.
Maybe Ill be loving you.
And maybe when my life is through
Then maybe Ill get over you.
Maybe,maybe,maybe.

Cant Deny
Its late at night and no ones around
And only my heart is making a sound
I lay awake alone in my bed
And I cant sleep should I call you instead
I think of you far too much cause you, youre one of a kind
Im not like an open book
cause Ive got something in mind
Chorus:
You know I cant deny the way I feel inside
I wont be hiding my love
You know I cant disguise youre always on my mind
And now I cant get enough
Give me love, I know that you can
I like the strength of a confident man
Its in my blood and all through my veins
You feel it once and youre never the same
Whenever I close my eyes youre there. I feel it inside
But why am I holding in my love, I cant tell you why
Repeat chorus
I think of you far too much cause you, youre one of a kind
Im not like an open book cause Ive got something in mind

Cant deny the way I feel inside

I Want To Wake Up With You
When the morning coming and i' m opening my eyes,
I want to see your face and your amazing eyes,
Your smile to wrap me in happiness and joy,
I want to wake up with you.
I want to be the first one that you see,
To give me your first smile and a kiss to me,
To feel your warmth, your silence, your joy,
I want to wake up with you.
I want to keep your hand into mine,
And play with my fingers through your hair,
Kissing you tenderly each time you smile,
I want to wake up with you.
To lay my head on your shoulder,
And feel your breath so close,
I want to hold your heart and protect it,
I want to wake up with you.
To listen your tender whispers,
To feel your smooth skin touching mine,
Your arms passionately hugging me,
I want to wake up with you.
So, i had open my eyes in morning,
Surrounded by roses and love,
I feel like a gorgeous woman in your arms,
I want to wake up with you.

I Dont Want This Song To End
(nettie musick/tony ramey)
Well I dont wanna hear last call
And I dont wanna look at the clock on the wall
Lets lose track of time while were dancing this close
And I dont really care if no ones around
We can just stay right here until the moon goes down
If it were left up to me, I would never let go
But if this is a dream then I dont wanna wake up
And see the sun shine again
As long as youre in my arms
I dont want this song to end
Let me look in your eyes and count the stars
Let me hold you tight next to my heart
And Ill whisper I love you for the rest of my life
Lets make believe the music plays
For just you and me could make the world go away
In perfect time you will always be mine
But if this is a dream then I dont wanna wake up
And see the sun shine again
As long as youre in my arms
I dont want this song to end
Yeah if this is a dream then I dont wanna wake up
And see the sun shining in
As long as youre in my arms
I dont want this song to end
Now if youre in my arms
I dont want this song to end

Narrow Your Eyes
I dont want to change your mind
I dont want to think about your mind
They say love is blind
I dont think youre blind
You dont want to understand
And I dont want to shake your fathers hand
And walk in the sand
And act like a man
I get on the bus
And ride past our stop
And though Im late
I cant get off
I just cant bear to tell you some lies
And narrow your eyes
Narrow your eyes
Well take back every thing we said
Split up all the things and move ahead
Forgot how you said
Well split the side off the bed
I get on my bike
Ride down our block
Ride through the world
Through the green lights
But when I think of all your advice
I narrow my eyes
Narrow my eyes
I dont want to change your mind
I dont want to think about your mind
They say love is blind
I dont think youre blind
I get on the bus
Ride past our stop
And though Im late
I cant get off
I just cant bear to tell you some lies
And narrow your eyes
Narrow your eyes
Now lets toast the sad cold fact
Our loves never coming back
And well race to the bottom of a glass
So narrow your eyes
Narrow your eyes
Narrow your eyes
Narrow your eyes
Narrow your eyes
Narrow your eyes

Four Eyes
One september morning when I was five
My daddy said, son, rise from your bed.
I thought, I must be dreaming, its still dark outside
He said, son if you fall behind youll never get ahead
Heres your little brown cowboy shirt, put it on
Heres your little brown cowboy pants, put em on
Heres your little brown shoes, can you tie them yourself?
Get into the car, were gone!
We drove, it seemed like forever,
Further than Id ever been away from home
Then my daddy stopped the car, and he turned to me
He said, son its time to make us proud of you,
Its time to do whats right
Gonna have to learn to work hard
I said, work? what are you talking about?
Youre not gonna leave me here, are you?
He said yes I am!
And drove off into the morning light
For a while I stood there, on the sidewalk
A roy rogers lunch pail in my hand
Then I heard sweet childrens voices calling
And I began to understand
They said, four eyes! look like youre still sleeping!
Four eyes! look like youre dead!
Four eyes! where have you been keeping yourself?
Look like you been whupped upside the head.
