Forgettin's So Long
One twenty-two fifty nine Oak Drive
Rolls off my tongue like a nursery rhyme
Wooden numbers on the front of your house
Where we fell in love
Little things they stick in my mind
Like they happened yesterday
After all this time
The way it turned out
I never would've thought
I'd remember so much
But why is my heart so weak
And my memory so strong?
Somebody give me one good reason
Love is too short
And forgettin's so long
Somewhere, someday down the road
Maybe I won't care
But when something so right goes so wrong
Love is too short and forgettin's so long
Is there anyone who would please
Tell me where's my checkbook and my car keys?
If it wasn't sewn onto my shoulders
I'da lost my head
Well there's a whole lotta things I forget to do
But I amaze myself when it comes to you
I know nothin' 'bout now
But I know plenty 'bout way back then
'Cause when I think I got it all behind me
And I'm movin' along
You're right there to remind me
Love is too short
And forgettin's so long
Somewhere, someday down the road
Maybe I won't care
But when something so right goes so worng
Love is too short and forgettin's so long

I Feel Like Im Forgetting Something
(lee ann womack/jason sellers/wynn varbie)
Grabbed my keys, door is locked
I turned off the coffee pot
Runnin late as I back out of the drive
I feel like Im forgettin somethin
Feelin good, great big smile
First time in a long long while
You aint been the first thing on my mind
But I feel like Im forgettin somethin
Maybe my heart is finally healin
Could it be Im gettin over you?
Baby Im better now and feelin
Been livin life without your lovin
Your memorys down to nearly nothin
And I feel like Im forgettin somethin
Theres a guy at work, hes cute for sure
Ive never noticed him before
Somethins had me so preoccupied
Yeah but I feel like Im forgettin somethin
Maybe my heart is finally healin
Could it be Im gettin over you?
Baby Im better now and feelin
Been livin life without your lovin
Your memorys down to nearly nothin
And I feel like Im forgettin somethin
Im a livin life without your lovin
Your memorys down to nearly nothin
And I feel like Im forgettin somethin

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...

I Keep Forgettin'
By jerry leiber/mike stoller/michael mcdonald/ed sanford
Chorus:
I keep forgettin' we're not in love anymore
I keep forgettin' things will never be the same again
I keep forgettin' how you made that so clear
I keep forgettin'
Everytime you're near
Everytime i see you smile
Hear your "hello"
Saying you can only stay a while
Hey, i know that it's hard for you
To say the things that we both know are true
But tell me how come (i)
Chorus:
Everytime i hear
How you never want to live a lie
How it's gone to far
And you don't have to tell me why
Why you're gone and the game is through
If this is what's real, if this is what's true
Tell me how come (i)
Chorus:
Don't say that, don't say that, don't say that
I know you're not mine anymore-anyway-anytime
But tell me how come (i)

What Are You Gonna Do
When you are alone,
You come back cryin and you want to go home;
For someone forgettin it seems
Like youre lettin it take you away from me.
Was your idea to pack up and go.
You said you had no life of your own.
Movin in was not too hard to do.
Ya got second thoughts; youre gonna have to choose.
Chorus:
What are you gonna do ?
Forget about your mother and think about you.
For someone forgettin it seems
Like youre lettin it take you away from me.
Told you all the secrets that were mine.
The good things that I picked up overtime.
Wont accept the reason why youre here;
Talk things out; overcome the fear.
Chorus
Chorus
Thought that I was all that you need,
You told me things I wanted to believe.
You know that leaving me would be wrong;
Stay with me, Ill help you to be strong.

Live To Love Another Day
Lord I fell for her smile
And she loved me for a while
Then she said good-bye gotta go
Left me standing on the side of the road
Now she's gone and I'm a memory in her past
And the long and short of it some things never last
Chorus:
Oh because summers come, summers go
I'll keep walking down this road
It's alright and it's okay
I'll live to love another day
I'll live to love another day
Lord I'm out here again
With my back to the wind
The warm sun that's sinking low
Is gonna leave me out in the cold
But the long and short of it some things never last
And if that goes for the good
It must go for the bad
(REPEAT CHORUS)
If I fall down
I'm not ashamed
I always get back up again
But I'll be fine 'till the right one comes to save me, save me, save me
Lord I fell for her smile
And she loved me for a while
And someday she's gonna wish
She hadn't left me here like this
(REPEAT CHOURUS)
I'll live to love another day
I'll live to love another day
I'll live to love another day

Please
Can't understand you and your rules
and definitely don't want them
I get where you're comin' from,
But it's my generation
and you assume stereotypes,
when it's only
one out of a hundred.
But I don't want to be like them,
the one out of a hundred…
I don't want to be
Snappin', hurtin'
Backstabbin'
And if they ask me why I'll say
I'm busy…
Makin' friends, forgettin' enemies
Makin' life last
Trust me, please
I don't want to be like them
It's too late to find me
I'm lost in the woods
But please, Mama, come back for me
I'm not tryin' to make mistakes,
Not ever or forever
You were like me too once
Makin' friends, forgettin' enemies
Makin' life last
Trust me, please
I don't want to be like them
They're just
Forgettin' friends, makin' enemies
Forgettin' life for now
And there's no trusting us
And there's no turning back
But that's just a stereotype,
It's a
One out of a hundred
I don't want to be like them
And if they ask me why I'll say

No, I Dont Want Her
(joe bailey)
No-o-o, I dont want her,
So Ill forget her.
Forget the love she gave me,
Somehow.
Ive learned my lesson,
Dont have to tell me.
cause Im gonna start forgettin,
Yes, Im gonna start forgettin
Right now.
Go on, take my share,
cause I dont want her.
And now, shes gone, good riddance, goodbye.
But what my friends dont know
Is that I love her so.
And in my lonely room all day,
I cry.
Go-o on and take her,
cause I dont want her.
I know Ill find another,
Find another
Somewhere.
No, I dont want her,
Shes not my kind now.
And if shes got somebody else,
Oh, really got somebody else,
I dont care.
To think that my love
Could say goodbye, love,
And leave me here, as low as the ground,
But no one knows but me
What she means to me,
And when Im by myself,
All day I sigh.
cause without her...
I could lay me down
And die.

Nothin' 'Bout Love Makes Sense
Like a cloud full of rain shouldn't hang in the sky
Ice shouldn't burn or a bumblebee fly
If you feel so happy, then why do you cry?
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
Like an ocean liner shouldn't float on the sea
A pearl in an oyster or a circus of fleas
Someone so perfect can't be falling for me
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
Nothin' bout love is less than confusing
You can win when you're losing, stand when you're falling
I can't figure it out
Nothin' bout love can make an equation nothin' short of amazing
Wish I could explain it
But I don't know how
The way that we dance, the reason we dream
That big Italian tower, well how does it lean?
Something so strong shouldn't make me this weak
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
(Instrumental)
Nothin' bout love is less than confusing
You can win when you're losing, stand when you're falling
I can't figure it out
Nothin' bout love can make an equation nothin' short of amazing
Wish I could explain it
But I don't know how
Like the lights of Las Vegas going out on the sand
A jumbo shrimp or a baby grand
How you're touching my heart when you're holding my hand
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
Oh nothin' bout love, makes sense
No no no, oh it don't make sense

Love Is A Long Road
There was a girl I knew
She said she cared about me
She tried to make my world
The way she thought it should be
Yeah we were desperate then
To have each other to hold
But love is a long road
Yeah love is a long long road
There were so many times
I would wake up at noon
Yeah, with my head spinning round
I would wait for the moon
And give her one more chance
To try and save my soul
But love is a long road
Yeah love is a long long road
Some things are hard to give up
Some things are hard to let go
Some things are never enough
I guess I only can hope
For maybe one more chance
To try and save my soul
But love is a long road
Yeah love is a long long road
Love is a long long road
Y eah love is a long long road
Oh, its a long long road

Love Is So Short
Love is so short and forgetting is so long
It’s hard to forget the one to whom you belong
You are no longer an us but a you
You are now a one, not a two.
Love is so short but memories last forever
Remembering the promise of being together forever
Tears cannot bring your loved one back
For they will only subside until you crack.
Love is so short but feelings will remain
Nothing can be done to ease your heart’s pain
You yearn for one more hug or a perfect last kiss,
For it is something that you truly miss.
Love is so short and moving on is so hard
A love so deep leaves you forever scarred
A wish for holding your lover one more day
Anything you can do to take the pain away.
Love is so short but crying never stops
Nothing seems worthwhile when the penny finally drops
You gave your soul to them, you’re entire heart
You never thought, for just one day you’d be apart.
Love is so short and living you can’t bear
Because all you want is for them to be there
They say things are meant to happen a certain way
But why did god take my lover away.

Shes In Love With The Boy
(jon ims)
Katies sitting on the old front porch
Watching the chickens peck the ground
There aint a whole lot going on tonight
In this one horse town.
Over yonder, coming up the road
In a beat-up chevy truck
Her boyfriend tommy, hes laying on the horn
Splashing through the mud and the muck
Her daddy says, he aint worth a lick
When it came to brains, he got the short end of the stick
But katies young and man she just dont care
Shed follow tommy anywhere
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
Shes gonna marry that boy someday
Katie and tommy at the drive-in movie
Parked in the very last row
Theyre too busy holding on to one another
To even care about the show
But later on outside the tastee freeze,
Tommy slips something on her hand
He says, my high school ring will have to do
Till I can buy a wedding band
Her daddy says, he aint worth a lick
When it came to brains, he got the short end of the stick
But katies young and man she just dont care
Shed follow tommy anywhere
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
Shes gonna marry that boy someday
Her daddys waiting up till half past twelve
When they come sneaking up the walk
He says, young lady get on up to your room
While me and junior have a talk
But mama breaks in and says, dont lose your temper
It wasnt very long ago
When you yourself was just a hay-seed plowboy
Who didnt have a row to hoe
My daddy said you wasnt worth a lick
When it came to brains, you had the short end of the stick
But he was wrong and honey you are too
Katie looks at tommy like I still look at you
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Whats meant to be will always find a way
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Whats meant to be will always find a way
Shes gonna marry that boy someday.
Shes in love with the boy....

Lifes Too Short To Love Like That
(sandy ramos)
Baby we had something goin wrong
Ive never seen nothin so right go wrong
You used to wanna love me day and night
We used to never wanna leave paradise
Now we sleep at night back to back
Lifes too short to love like that
You never wanna kiss me anymore
You run around and I walk the floor
You know I used to mean everyting to you
Not Im last in line and that just wont do
I feel blue, you feel trapped
Lifes too short to love like that
You put me down just to stand me up
Time after time, well enoughs enough
I give and give without gettin back
Lifes too short to love like that
Lifes too short to love like that
Its way too late for a wake-up call
And I aint gonna wait for those tears to fall
I used to think we could work things out
But if you dont wanna change then theres no doubt
The fire is out and thats so sad
Lifes too short to love like that
You put me down just to stand me up
Time after time, well enoughs enough
I give and give without gettin back
Lifes too short to love like that
Lifes too short to love like that

Without Your Love
(myles goodwyn)
Published by northern goody two tunes, ltd./capac - ascap
Seemingly related, its complicated
Its understood now, its up to me now
Everybody knows that its over, you
Everybody knows that its gonna break my heart in two
(without your love) without your love, its wrong
(without your love) without you, Im not that strong
(without your love) I got nothin at all
Its such a long, long way to go, without your love
Needing you, needing anyone as much as I need you
Takin the truth, takin nothin for granted
Reaching out in all directions, Ill have you to stay
Waiting for an invitation, to steal your heart away
(without your love) without your love, its wrong
(without your love) without you, Im not that strong
(without your love) I got nothin at all
Its such a long, long way to go
(without your love) without your love, Im done
(without your love) without you, I cant go on
(without your love) I got nothin at all
Its such a long, long way to go, without your love
Seems now that Ive mistaken you
Seems like now I could be losing you
What I feel, its all illusion
What you feel, its so confusing
So unreal that Im still tryin to steal your heart away
(without your love) without your love, its wrong
(without your love) without you, Im not that strong
(without your love) I got nothin at all
Its such a long, long way to go
(without your love) without your love, Im done

Its such a long, long way to go, without your love

So Long
So long, so long
Now Im on my way
So long, so long
See you all some day
Dont know where Im heading for
Turn my back and walk away
Dont think about whats left behind
Otherwise
Think about the good times
Think about the people you love
Think about the sun that is gone
And there aint no use me talking bout the things we used to do
So long, so long
Im better by myself
So long, so long
Dont need nobody else
If I fade from peoples hearts
Im glad I left them far behind
Theres one thing that holds me still
Im thinkin
The memory of your kiss
The memory of your sweet caress
The memory of you love that is gone
And there aint no use me talking bout the things we used to do
So long, so long
Got no time for tears
So long, so long
Got music in my ears
Got no time for muswell town
Gonna look around now
My old town was good to me
But oh...
Guess Ill say so long now
Dont even say a word
Ill turn my back and walk away, but oh...
The day that Ive seen everything I promise to return
So long, so long
Now Im on my way
So long, so long
See you all some day
So long, so long
Now Im on my way
So long, so long

There's Always Tomorrow
Sometimes I feel so blue inside
So when I'm lonely
I drive to St. Tropez
I leave the world behind that's gray
Into sunshine
I know I'll be okay I say
Life is short
Too beautiful for you to worry
Don't give up
When love is unkind
There's always tomorrow
Don't let them bring you that down that way
The view is golden
Believe the old clich?
I need a little time to play
So kiss the moonlight
The night is young at heart they say
Life is short
Too beautiful for you to worry
Don't give up
When love is unkind
There's always tomorrow
Just let your imagination take a chance
It'll get you far
Step by step, the road is long
But at the end you can touch a star
I don't care where I came from
It's where I'm going that gets me through
It's all I need to get me through
There's always tomorrow
(spoken)
There's always tomorrow
(spoken)
Life is short
Too beautiful for you to worry
Don't give up
When love is unkind

Coming From The Heart
by Bob Dylan and Helena Springs
We have got to come together
How long can we stay apart?
You may get it maybe never
But it's coming from the heart.
Your life is full of indecision
You can't make up your mind.
We must get it in position
And move it on down the line.
'Cause the road is long, it's a long hard climb
I been on that road too long of a time
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of the love that I left behind.
Make me up a bed of roses
And hang them down from the vine
Of all my loves you've been the closest
That's ever been on my mind.
Please don't talk about tomorrow
I'm really not one to care
This world is filled with too much sorrow
That nobody's heart should bear.
'Cause the road is long, it's a long hard climb
I been on that road too long of a time
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of the love that I left behind.
Please, please give me indication
Stop and talk to me
Like a river that is flowing
My love will never cease to be.
You will always be my honey
No one could take your part
Our love can't be bought with money
'Cause it's coming from the heart.
'Cause the road is long, it's a long hard climb
I been on that road too long of a time
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of the love that I left behind.

Life's Too Short
I let you escape, slip through my fingers
We made our mistakes, but memories linger
Each time I turn a corner I swear I see your face
But I'm standing here alone in the wonder
What I really needed, what made me run away?
Was it just somebody's spell I was under
(Chorus)
We all love on borrowed time, tomorrow's flying blind
And life's too short to be living without you
You laughed at my jokes, broke down my defenses
It's like my heart just awoke, and brought back my senses
I've got my motor running, it's all that I can do
Cause every road I'm taking, is leading back to you
Repeat Chorus
We all love on borrowed time, tomorrow's flying blind
And life's too short to be living without you
And life's too short
And life's too short
I give in I can't go it alone, yeah I'm done now I know that you're gone
I need someone to save me and life's too short, too short
I give in I can't go it alone
Life's too short to be living without you
Life's too short
I give in I can't go it alone
Life's too short can't be living without you
Life's too short
I give in I can't go it alone
I can live without you
Life's too short

Life's too short to be living without you

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.

Someday We'll Know
90 miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving I don't know why
So many questions I need some answers
2 years later you're still on my mind
Whatever happened to the Uptown theatre?
Yeah it held the stars up in the sky
Is true love just once in a lifetime?
Did the captain of the Titanic cry
Someday we'll know
Why love can't move mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't there for you
Does anybody know the way to Atlantis?
Or what the wind says when she cries
I'm speeding by the place where I met you
For the 97th time
(Chorus)
Someday we'll know
Why love can't move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't there for you
Someday we'll know
If love is do or die for
Someday we'll know
Why it died so soon
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't there for you
I bought a ticket back to where I came from
I watched my past crash in the sea
If I could ask you just one question
Why aren't you here with me?
(chorus)
Someday we'll know
Why love can't move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't there for you
Someday we'll know
If love is do or die for
Someday we'll know
Why it died so soon
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't there for you
Someday we'll know
Someday we'll know
Someday we'll know
Someday we'll know
Someday we'll know

Time for a short poem
Short poems are great
they don't take very long
as they're only a few verses
the words won't be spelt wrong.
They can be about anything
as long as they rhyme
and because there short
it don't take much time.
This one isn't about much
in fact nothing at all
the reason it isn't long
is because I'm off to the Football.
So that's the end of this poem
as I'm now off to the match
but before the game kicks off
time for a few beers and a batch!
