Twilight Time Composer(s): Ray Thomas Performer(s): The Moody Blues
Twilight time to dream awhile In vales of deepening blue As fantasy strides over colourful skies Perform, disappearing from view
In twilight time Dream with me awhile
A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase Of notes that are rich and so true An aerial display by the firefly brigade Dancing to tunes no-one knew
In twilight time Dream with me awhile
In twilight time Dream with me awhile
Building castles in the air Whistling to the wind As nature bows down her head See what tomorrow brings
Twilight time Dream with me awhile
Bats take to wing like puppets on string Prancing through cool evening air In a sightless glide, no reason to hide From a wave of the sun's blinding stare
I Won't Dance From the film "Roberta" (1935) Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Dorothy Fields; Jimmy McHugh Performer(s): Ginger Rogers & Fred Astaire
and multiple other artists
Ginger: Think of what you're losing By constantly refusing To dance with me You'd be the idol of France with me
And yet you stand there And shake your foolish head rheumatically While I wait here so ecstatically You just look and say emphatically
Fred: Not this season There's a reason
I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, Madame, with you My heart won't let my feet do things they should do
You know what? You're lovely
Ginger: So what? I'm lovely...
Ginger: But oh, what you do to me I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
Ginger: Ah, but when you dance you're charming and you're gentle Especially when you do The Continental
Ginger: But this feeling isn't purely mental For heaven rest us I'm not asbestos And that's why...
I won't dance, why should I? I won't dance, how could I? I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance And if I hold you in my arms ... I won't dance
I won't cry anymore, now that you've left me I won't cry anymore, now that you're gone I've shed a million tears since we're apart But tears can never mend a broken heart
I won't sigh anymore, I'll just forget you And I'm closing the door of memories Though you're the one love that my arms are longin' for This is goodbye, I won't cry anymore
The judge said "Stand up lad and dry up your tears" You're sentenced to Dartmoor for twenty-one years" So dry up your tears babe and kiss me goodbye The best friends must part now, so must you and I
I hear the train coming, 'twill be here at nine To take me to Dartmoor to serve up my time I look down the railway and plainly I see You standing there waving your goodbyes to me
Six months have gone by babe, I wish I were dead Tis a cold dreary dungeon and rocks for my head It's raining, it's hailing, the moon gives no light Now will you tell me babe, why you never write
I've counted the days babe, I've counted the nights I've counted the footsteps, I've counted the lights I've counted the raindrops, I've counted the stars I've counted a million of these prison bars
I waited, I trusted, I longed for the day A life-time so lonely, now my hair's turning grey All my thoughts are for you babe, 'til I'm out of my mind For twenty-one years is a mighty long time For twenty-one years is a mighty long time
I Won't Be Blue Anymore Composer(s): Dan Seals Performer(s): Dan Seals; Jesse McReynolds
I won't be blue anymore I'll go out on the town And I'll take all my friends Every honky tonk around And they'll help me forget you And the way it used to be Then I won't be blue anymore
The only friends I've got now Since you've been gone Two arms that used to hold you And the heart that surely broke And the mind that sometimes wonders 'bout my sanity So they made me make this promise to me
I won't be blue anymore I'll go out on the town And I'll take all my friends Every honky tonk around And they'll help me forget you And the way it used to be Then I won't be blue anymore
My friends are always with me Even when I'm alone They watch over and protect me 'Cause they know how far I've gone They're the only ones that care now And they knew that they could help So they made me make this promise to myself
I won't be blue anymore I'll go out on the town And I'll take all my friends Every honky tonk around And they'll help me forget you And the way it used to be Then I won't be blue anymore No, I won't be blue anymore
Kissin' On The Phone Composer(s): Brian Wilson Performer(s): Paul Anka
Every night when I'm all alone All I do is call you on the phone It rings, ting-a-ling And this is what we do
Oh well, we're kissin' on the phone Ooh, ooh Kissin' on the phone Ooh, ooh When we're all alone All we're doing is kissin' on the phone
Every kiss is a kiss of fire I'm so afraid that we're bumin' the wire Oh gee, baby Oh, what will we do, tell me
When we are kissin' on the phone Ooh, ooh Kissin' on the phone Ooh, ooh When we're all alone All we're doin' is kissin' on the phone

Rock In My Shoe Composer(s): Hank Williams Jr. Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.
I've met a girl or two in my lifetime And I've loved a few, but not the right time I think I'm a-wastin' my time lovin' anyone but you You got a hold on me I just can't seem to break free I walk a girl to town and start to fool around But honey you're the rock in my shoe
I stroll into the night spots Thinkin' that I'm something real hot I got a pretty girl and she's got a lo, but I know she ain't true It's just not the same, I'm playin' a fool's game Oh, when I start to dance and try to make romance Honey, you're the rock in my shoe
Now my heart has reached that decision 'Cause my mind keeps havin' a vision No hers and his and and I guess I always knew You'd make the bells ring and pull my heart strings I'm walkin' down the aisle with the great big smile 'Cause there ain't no rocks in my shoe
There's always a rock in my shoe When I walk with someone new I try to find love in another's arms But it seems I just dream of you
Now my heart has reached that decision 'Cause my mind keeps havin' a vision No hers and his and and I guess I always knew You'd make the bells ring and pull my heart strings I'm walkin' down the aisle with the great big smile 'Cause there ain't no rocks in my shoe
I'm walkin' down the aisle with the great big smile 'Cause there ain't no rocks in my shoe

Twist! Kiss! Twist! Kiss! Twist! Kiss! Ah! The Kissing Twist

Let's do it Oh, you gotta stick to it It's so easy Like pork chop's greasy Now you twist Then you kiss Now you're doing the Kissing Twist

Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David Performer(s): Gene Pitney and multiple other artists
Dearest, darling I had to write to say that I won't be home, any more For something happened, to me While I was driving home And I'm not the same any more
Oh, I was only, twenty-four hours from Tulsa Ah, only, one day away from your arms I saw a welcoming light And stopped to rest for the night And that is when I, saw her As I pulled in outside of a small hotel, she was there And so I walked up, to her Asked where I could get something to eat And she, showed me where
Oh, I was only, twenty-four hours from Tulsa Ah, only, one day away from your arms She took me to the café I asked her if she would stay She said, "okay"
Oh, I was only, twenty-four hours from Tulsa Ah, only, one day away from your arms A juke box started to play And that turned into today As we were dancing, closely All of a sudden I lost control as I, held her charms And I caressed her, kissed her Told her I'd die before I would let her out, of my arms
Oh, I was only, twenty-four hours from Tulsa Ah, only, one day away from your arms I hate to do this to you But I love somebody new What can, I do? And I can never, never, never, go home again
I Wonder, I Wonder, I Wonder Composer(s): Daryl Hutchins Performer(s): Eddy Howard and multiple other artists
All by myself at home a-feeling blue Thoughts keep roaming through my mind, they're all of you I wonder if you're dancing with somebody new I wonder, I wonder can't help it if I wonder No matter what side of the pillow that I'm sleeping on My dreams of you continue through until the dawn And after that I find the daydream crew comes on I wonder, I wonder, can't help it if I wonder You care for someone else, I see Well then, it's quite all right with me I'm gonna get me dressed up in my Sunday suit And find myself somebody who is twice as cute And when you realize that you and I are through I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what you'll do Wonder, how I wonder I wonder I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what you'll do Gonna get me dressed up in my Sunday suit And find myself somebody who is twice as cute And when you realize that you and I are through I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what you'll do
Kissing My Pillow Composer(s): Wally Lewis; Fuzzy Owen Performer(s): Rose Maddox; Lost Country; Warren Smith
I tell myself Im satisfied to live the way I do And it was such a foolish thing to fall in love with you I tried to make believe Im glad you found somebody new But I cant hide this lonliness, it just keeps showing through
And I keep kissing my pillow, staring at the wall And I keep hearing your footsteps coming through the hall And I keep doubting the million dreams that never will come true And I keep kissing my pillow and pretending its you
I never knew how much I cared until you walked away And left me with these memories thats in my heart today I thought that I could find somebody else to take your place But memories of loving you keep standing in the way
And I keep kissing my pillow, staring at the wall And I keep hearing your footsteps coming through the hall And I keep doubting the million dreams that never will come true And I keep kissing my pillow and pretending its you
Twenty Years Ago Composer(s): Dan Tyler - Michael Noble - Michael Spriggs - Wood Newton Performer(s): Kenny Rogers; Juice Newton
It`s been a long time since I walked Through this old town But oh how the memories start to flow And there`s the old movie house They finally closed it down You could find me there every Friday night Twenty years ago
I worked the counter at the drugstore down the street But nobody`s left there I would know On Saturday mornings that`s where All my friends would meet You`d be surprised what a dime would buy Twenty years ago
All my memories from those days come gather round me What I`d give if they could take me back in time It almost seems like yesterday Where do the good times go? Life was so much easier twenty years ago
I guess I should stop by Mr. Johnson`s hardware store His only son was my friend Joe But he joined the army back in 1964 How could we know he would never come back Twenty years ago
Kissing You Goodbye Composer(s): John Denver Performer(s): John Denver
Oh, at first it was just like heaven in your heart and in your arms And paradise discovered in the sweetness of your charms Yes, and every day a miracle to awake and be with you And every night in your embrace another dream come true
But castles sometimes crumble some rivers still run dry And fairy tales are witches tales when the truth becomes a lie And a pocket full of promises won't buy a diamond ring And every word you said to me just didn't mean a thing
It's over now, you've gone too far I can't take anymore Be careful now - don't hurt yourself when you walk through that door I can hardly stand to look at you it makes me want to cry Get your tongue out of my mouth because I'm kissing you goodbye!
Now I suppose I'll never know why things turned out this way And why the one you love the most is the one you drove away? Yes, and I suppose I'll never, ever really understand How I could think that you'd make me a happy married man
So now I sit and contemplate the reason for it all The climb to heights of ecstasy the failure and the fall If a broken heart is purposeful it's in the lesson learned No matter what the reason is it hurts when you get burned
Now I don't care, I don't think I'll ever love again "Kemosabe" used to me good and trusted friend But now it stands for therapy and all the tears I cry Get your tongue out of my mouth 'Cause I'm kissing you goodbye! Bye, Bye Bye, Bye
Twenty Tiny Fingers Composer(s): Sid Tepper - Roy Bennett Performer(s): Stargazers and multiple other artists
Oooooh! Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes Two angel faces, each with a turned up nose One looks like mummy, with a cute little curl on top And the other one's got a big bald spot Exactly like his pop, pop, pop Pop-a-dop, pop, pop Pop-pop
She put on the light in the middle of the night And whispered "Dear, let's go" He grabbed a sock and called the Doc He told him "Don't be slow" I got her there with time to spare And then I sat on pins Until the Doctor shook his hand And told him "You've got twins"
Oooooh! Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes Two angel faces, each with a turned up nose One looks like mummy, with a cute little curl on top And the other one's got a big bald spot Exactly like his pop, pop, pop Pop-a-dop, pop, pop Pop-pop
We've got cribs and bottles and bibs All round our three roomed flat No time to see what's on TV No room to hang your hat We're on the run, we're never done It's like a steeplechase They came in and they took over Like they owned the place
Oooooh! Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes Two angel faces, each with a turned up nose One looks like mummy, with a cute little curl on top And the other one's got a big bald spot Exactly like his pop, pop, pop Pop-a-dop, pop, pop Pop-pop
It's twice the laundry, twice the milk It's twice the baby clothes It's double this and double that Oh how the money goes But now, you see, they both agree When all is said and done We've got twice the blessings And we've got twice the fun
Oooooh! Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes Two angel faces, each with a turned up nose One looks like mummy, with a cute little curl on top And the other one's got a big bald spot The other one's got a big bald spot Exactly like his
I Wonder Why I Worry Over You Composer(s): Cindy Walker Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Dear youre not worth the breath it takes to mention your name I Wonder Why I worry Over You
The way you kick my love around its such a crying shame I Wonder Why I worry Over You
Friends with good intentions all tell me to get smart And runaway this very day before you break my heart Youll never change your wicked ways youll always be the same I Wonder Why I worry Over You
Even when you know your wrong I still get the blame I Wonder Why I worry Over You
If theres an art for breaking hearts you could start a hall of Fame I Wonder Why I worry Over You
If I walked out tomorrow it wouldnt bother you Youve got another waitin now to see just what I do And youre not worth the breath it takes to mention your name I Wonder Why I worry Over You
