Day Is Done
When the day is done
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done.
When the day is done
Hope so much your race will be all run
Then you find you jumped the gun
Have to go back where you began
When the day is done.
When the night is cold
Some get by but some get old
Just to show lifes not made of gold
When the night is cold.
When the bird has flown
Got no-one to call your own
Got no place to call your home
When the bird has flown.
When the games been fought
You speed the ball across the court
Lost much sooner than you would have thought
Now the games been fought.
When the partys through
Seems so very sad for you
Didnt do the things you meant to do
Now theres no time to start anew
Now the partys through.
When the day is done
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done.

The Partys Over
-artist: nat king cole
-words by betty comden and adolph green and music by jule styne
-introduced by judy holliday in her last film bells are ringing (1956), also starring
-dean martin and jean stapleton -charted by doris day at # 63 in 1957
The partys over
Its time to call it a day
Theyve burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
Its time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper must be paid
The partys over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the partys over
Its all over, my friend
The partys over
Its time to call it a day
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the partys over
Its all over, my friend
Its all over, my friend

Immaterial
Seasons are changing
The evenings closing in
Buy a small house down
Where everything looks bright
And cleaned so right
I hope I can see you
You seem so far away
Everyones leaving, theyve got to get away
And search for that dreamland so pack your bags
Create the brand new day
I hope I can see you
So many miles from home
Im lost without a phone
But around the world we go
What can I tell you?
Its immaterial
And what can I say now that Im out in the cold?
Your letters speak of so many things we find so rare
A steady job, cold charity
But its kinder so they say...
I hope I can see you
So many miles from home
Im lost without a phone
But around the world we go
What can I tell you?
Its immaterial
And what can I say now that Im out in the cold?
Wherever you set your heart
Its best to call it home
But in a modern world
10,000 leagues are not too far to rome
I hope I can see you
So many miles from home and Im lost without a phone
But around the world we go
What can I tell you?
Its immaterial
And what can I say now that Im out in the cold?
Its immaterial
Its immaterial

Bird Has Flown
Oh the beggar on his cornerstone
Catches pity in his wrinkled hand
But the lover whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only grains of sand
All the children in the distant house
They have feelings only children know
But the lover whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only flakes of snow
The sensation is not new to you
Its something we all have known
You get it - it goes right through you
Yes its something we all have known
And the bird it has flown
To a place on its own
Somewhere all alone
Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the lover whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me
The sensations not new to you
Its something we all have known
You get it - it goes right through you
Yes its something we all have known
And the bird it has flown
Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the lover whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me
Oh its started snowing

Something To Believe In
Will I see him on the tv
Preachin bout the promised land
He tells me to believe in jesus
And steals the money from my hand
Some say he was a good man
But lord I think he sinned, yeah
Twenty-two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his country didnt want him back
Their bullets took his best friend in saigon
Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
In a time I dont remember
In a war he cant forget
He cried forgive me for what Ive done there
Cause I never meant the things I did
Chorus:
And give me something to believe in
If theres a lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, lord arise
My best friend died a lonely man
In some palm springs hotel room
I got the call last christmas eve
And they told me the news
I tried all night not to break down and cry
As the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
Like a lost soul out of place
And the mirror, mirror on the wall
Sees my smile it fades again
Chorus
Sometimes I wish to God I didnt know now
The things I didnt know then
Road you gotta take me home
Solo
I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
Like bodies in an open grave
Underneath the broken old neon sign
That used to read jesus saves
A mile away live the rich folks
And I see how theyre living it up
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich is drinkin from a golden cup
And it just makes me wonder
Why so many lose, so few win
Chorus
You take the high road
And Ill take the low road
Sometimes I wish to God I didnt know now
The things I didnt know then
And give me something to believe in

Little Roland Lost
Im lost, Im lost, find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
He wondered too far now
He is lost and lonely
Little roland all alone
Cause he cant find his way
Wish I was home in the arms of my mom
Shes the one to protect me
But here I am in the woods by myself
Wont somebody find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
I see a path maybe this is the way
That leads to safety
No just a dead end leading to nowhere
Wont somebody find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
Little roland see your field eyes
Little legs running wildly
Comes the night, strange noises
Guess hes lost forever
Im lost, Im lost, find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me

Im A Small & Lonely Light
(farrar/best)
The stairs are dark and silent
The morning cold and gray
A last look at the things I knew
And slowly turn away
And as I watch the scenery unwind
My childhood slips a hundred miles behind
Leave the bus in houston
Walk around the town
But all the strange, unfriendly faces
Seem to get me down
And in the park where little children play
I sit and watch the dying of the day
Im a small and lonely light
A bird thats lost in flight
And its too late at night to go home
Im a tall and weary kite
A face thats out of sight
And its too late at night to go home
Always had the good life
Never felt unsure
But now the good lifes not enough
There must be something more
And so I sit and shiver in the dawn
And watch the world and wait to be reborn
Im a small and lonely light
A bird thats lost in flight
And its too late at night to go home
Im a tall and weary kite
A face thats out of sight
And its too late at night to go home
Too late at night to go home
But Ive talked too long my friend

I LOST A GEM.(part 1)
I lost a gem
too young to be deceived i was
that after the last days he shall rise
Hm! truly i lost a gem
i lost a gem
repeating the word mama
but none to call pa
now i know i lost a gem
i lost a gem
time now for him to see
me taking my pallet to walk
now his no more, i lost a gem
i lost a gem
whose place took a chunk in my heart
night needs night for me to collapse my theprapy
that truly, he cant be so important, i lost a gem
i lost a gem
but nevertheless am strong
taking the bull by the horn
if that is the cure of his therapy
at the underground world he use to plough
when he was man alive
definately i will sugar-colt his heart
to see that his left over ten
has made him alive.

Cold.... so cold...

now the stage is set

The Lust We Fought For
The lust we fought for in now just a pile of ash.
The lust we fought for was a lie to it's very last.
The lust we fought for burns in my memory every night.
The kust we fought for wasn't worth it's own right.
The lust we fought for seemed so out of control.
The lust we fought for only needed us to grab ahold.
So the lust we fought for wasn't lust at all.
Indeed it was love that made our great fall.
The lust we fought for keeps me crying at night.
The lust we fought for has me praying to turn it right.
The lust we fought for makes me miss you more.
The lust we fought for broke my heart to it's core.
The lust we fought for brings out a million tears.
The lust we fought for challenged all of my fears.
So the lust we fought for was the pain i deserved to face.
Indeed it was love from that magically beautiful place.
The lust we fought for is now gone up in flames...
Because I now know that the lust we fought for was real all the same.

Lost Without You
I know I can be a little stubborn sometimes
A little righteous and too proud
I just want to find a way to compromise
Cos I believe that we can work things out
I thought I had all the answers
Never giving in
But baby since you've gone
I admit that I was wrong
All I know is I'm lost without you
I'm not gonna lie
How am I gonna be strong without you
I need you by my side
If we ever said we'll never be together
and we ended with goodbye
Don't know what I'd do
I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way
but all I know is
Im lost without you
I keep trying to face the day
Lost without you
Am I ever gonna get rid of these blues?
Baby i'm so lonely all the time
Everywhere I go I get so confused
You're the only thing that's on my mind
Oh my beds so cold at night
I miss you more each day
Only you can make it right
No I'm not too proud to say
All I know is I'm lost without you
I'm not gonna lie
How Am I gonna be strong without you
I need you by my side
If we ever said we'll never be together
and we ended it with goodbye
Don't know what I'd do
I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way
And all I know is
I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day
I'm lost without you
If I could only hold you now
Make the pain just go away
Can't stop the tears from running down my face
oh
All I know is I'm lost without you
I'm not gonna lie
How my I gonna be strong without you
I need you by my side
If we ever said we'll never be together
and we ened it with goodbye
Don't know what I'd do
I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way
And all I know is
I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day
Lost without your love
I keep trying to find my way
And all I know is
I'm lost without you
i'm Lost without you

I Lost It
I had a hundred dollar ring in my hand
So weak and tired I could barely stand
From bein up all night praying shed say yes
So with a hopeful heart I hit one knee
With a tear in her eye she looked at me
It was the moment of truth, I was scared to death.
My life hung on what that tear meant
Then she smiled at me, and I lost it...
Chorus
No one can make me cry, make me laugh
Make me smile or drive me mad, like she does
Its like a curse that is the cure
Better or worse, one things for sure
Its real love
And I dont know what Id do if I lost it
Well the honeymoon ended and life began
Jobs and bills, losing touch with friends
And that apartment got smaller everyday
Then one night the walls finally closed in
I came home late, she said where have you been
You used to call and tell me youre on your way
She said if this is how its gonna be then I quit
She walked out the door, I lost it...
Chorus 1x:
I picked myself up off the floor
She walked back through the door
We made love like it was the first time
Chorus 1x:
Oh if I lost it (if I lost it)
I dont wanna lose it...

Turncoat
Sink your teeth into me please
Cause wouldn't that be easier
than how you're going about it now
Cause I know you're trying hard
to stab me in the back but
Scilence doesn't work as cover
when you're found out
It used to be i knew you closely
or was i mistaken only
Fooled by this called friendship
upon which i thought we need more
But reflection is so pointless
when the bridge is burning right
So i'll just show your apitept tonight
Turncoat sinks me down
and everybody knows it
Turncoat sinks me down
and no one sheds a tear, tear, tear
At first i refuse to believe
I said there was no way
that words so cool could ever come from you
But you lost a bit, a bit of doubt
and now i could care less
which agony your fire, you're thrown to
Most times enimies last long
Through good friendships cause they're stronger
Never fased by time or distance
they will carry on
So accept delivery of my worst fear
reguard to read it twice
I hope this time you're heart'll come back to life
Turncoat sinks me down
and everybody knows it
Turncoat sinks me down
and no one sheds a tear, tear, tear

Since I Lost My Baby
The sun is shining, there's plenty of light (oh yeah)
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright (oh yeah)
But after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold, and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
The birds are singing and the children are playing
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying
But fun is a bore and with money I'm poor.
Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
Next time I'll be kinder (Next time I'll be kinder)
Won't you please help me find her (Won't you please help me find her)
Someone just remind her (Someone just remind her)
Of this love she left behind her (Of this love she left behind her)
Till I find her I'll be trying ta (Till I find her I'll be trying ta)
Everyday I'm more inclined ta
Find her
Inclined ta
Find her
Inclined ta find my baby
Been looking everywhere (ba--by)
Baby, I really, really care!
Oh, determination is fading fast (oh yeah)
Inspiration is a thing of the past (oh yeah)
Can't see how my hope's gonna last
Good things are bad and what's happy is sad
Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
I feel so bad (since I lost my baby)
I feel so sad (since I lost my baby)
Everything is wrong
This heart is hard to carry on (since I lost my baby)
I'm lost as can be (since I lost my baby)
What's gonna happen to me?

Lost Innocence
Lost innocence!
with kind of naughtiness,
where to find childhood days again?
As we jumped, danced and made paper boats for enjoying rain.
In those days,
mumma's lap and daddy's shoulder were best to sit for games and plays.
Where? dear readers! where we have lost that fun and enjoy,
Where our dolls and car- scooter were our favorite toys.
We reach in the world of various tensions,
And lost special care and those particular intentions.
As now we are grown up,
And we reached in the world where our carrier got start-up.
Different ideas to earn are flowing in our minds,
But the innocent that we have lost is somewhere still binds.
We all have child inside our heart,
Who can shout, cry, laugh with same innocence and art.
But such innocence is lost somewhere,
And did you find that naughtiness of mine there?

I Am Not Made
I am not made for this
I’m not strong enough
I’ve often wondered late at night
What it’s like to stop
What it’s like to have the world stop
Stop right under my feet
And start turning the other way instead
Maybe if I don’t think
Some strength will return
Maybe I could push the world around
Spin it on the tip of my finger
Get it moving again
At my pace
Let it beat in time with my heart
I think I need some strength
Just until I’m alive enough
To start living again
To start turning again
I could find someone to be my world
Someone to be my strength
I think it’s time I found some
God, please rip me up
And start again
Just like you did with the world
Do it to the Earth again
Find some way to help me
Some way to get me some strength
God, please help me start again
I might just apologise
See if I did anything to be sorry for
I might stop talking
And close up in myself again
Just like the old days
Before I had the world
And lost it again
I am not made for this
I am hurting too much
To be thrown back out in the cold
Alone and insecure
Without my world at all
I am not made for this
I am not made

These times
And soon the vaults were empty
of the stuff we call money
as many lost sleep at night
in a dream of deep fright
Horrific story after story was told
by folks we know, and in the news
by folks starting careers so new
by folks growing tired and old
Then came a call so bold
carried by The Voice of old
to be learned from our Earth
in these times of dearth
Listen to the call my friends:
water for life
water for all
water for survival
water for food
water for stability
water for equality
One by one, people began to listen
of a new change rising on the horizon
But for some the call was lost
in hearts of heartless greed
who care not of water in time of need
And so the banks remained empty
of the stuff we call money
and many lost sleep at night
in a waking dream filled with fright

The Night I Lost You
This night,
This very dark night,
Was the night I lost you.
The cold air blew through my hair,
As I watched you fall to the ground.
Slow motion had seemed to take you over,
As you fell,
And I was suddenly empty,
Nothing, but fear flooded my mind.
I lost you to the dark,
I couldn’t see you anymore.
You went down, down,
And didn’t come back.
Why didn’t you come back to me?
I stood in the night,
Cold.
Didn’t know what to do.
I didn’t know why you left.
You had no reason for going.
You just fell,
Fell away from me.
That’s why I’ll always remember this night.
This night,
This very dark night,
Was the night I lost you.

Since I Lost You
You make me think about what's missing in my life,
Since I lost you.
Since I lost you.
And all I do now is to try to make things right,
Since I lost you.
Since I lost you, baby!
All day and through the night,
You're on my mind so much.
And all day and through the night,
I feel I broke us up.
All day and through the night,
I want to feel your touch.
That touch I once had I thought then was enough.
All day and through the night,
You're on my mind so much.
And all day and through the night,
I feel I broke us up.
All day and through the night,
I want to feel your touch.
That touch I once had I thought then was enough.
You make me think about what's missing in my life,
Since I lost you.
Since I lost you, baby!
All day and through the night,
I pray you want me back.
And all day and through the night,
My mind is on attack...
And I know what's causing that.
All day and through the night,
You're on my mind so much.
And all day and through the night,
I feel I broke us up.
All day and through the night,
I want to feel your touch.
That touch I once had I thought then was enough.
All day and through the night,
I pray you want me back.
And all day and through the night,
My mind is on attack...
And I know what's causing that,
I want you back.
In the sack.
You make me think about what's missing in my life,
Since I lost you.
Since I lost you.
And all I do now is to try to make things right,
Since I lost you.
Since I lost you, baby!
All day and through the night,
I want to report you missing.
All day and through the night,
I want to call 911 to tell somebody what you've done.
All day and through the night,
I want to report you missing.
All day and through the night,
I want to call 911 to tell someone....
What YOU have done done to ME.
