Two Teardrops Composer(s): Bill Anderson - Steve Wariner Performer(s): Steve Wariner; The Countdown Singers
Two teardrops were floatin' down the river One teardrop said to the other I'm from the soft blue eyes of a woman in love I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry She was so happy she just got married I was on her cheek when she wiped me away with her glove I could tell from the look on her face she didn't need me So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea
The other tear said we've got a connection I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection I'm from the sad brown eyes of her old flame She told him they would be lifelong companions Left him with questions and not any answers I was on his cheek as he stood there calling her name I could tell he had a lot of my friends for company So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea
Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight Two more teardrops somebody cried One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue The tide goes out and the tide comes in And someday they'll be teardrops again Released in a moment of pleasure or a moment of pain Then they drift on down and ride to the sea again
Last night I sat in the waiting room The nurse walked in and gave me the news It's a baby girl and they're both fine An old man sittin' not 10 feet away Just lost his wife and he said to me You've got a brand new angel and I've lost mine I guess the good Lord giveth and the good Lord taketh away And we both wiped a teardrop from our face
Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight Two more teardrops somebody cried One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue The tide goes out and the tide comes in A whole new circle of life begins Where tears are a part of the pleasure and part of the pain 'Til they drift on down and ride to the sea again
Two teardrops floatin' down the river Two teardrops floatin' down the river
Kilburn Towers Composer(s): Robin Gibb; Barry Gibb; Maurice Gibb Performer(s): The Bee Gees; Idle Wilds
I am a bird watch me go drifting by With my feathers of power I laugh as the hours go slowly by That could mean ev'rything I am a street watching the people walk. As I listen their conversations glisten as they start to talk Then I hear ev'rything
Little white jug, me and Kilburn Towers as we sit on the hill and we drink and we swill
till the early hours Then I am ev'rything Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers
(music) That could mean ev'rything
Little white jug, me and Kilburn Towers as we sit on the hill and we drink and we swill till the early hours Then I am ev'rything
Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers
Two Summers Composer(s): Bruce Woodley
Performer(s): The Seekers
The blue sky grows dark now
You're gone, you're gone
The good times have gone with you
You're gone
No use in me wishing, You're far, far away
Far away, away
gone from me
Our love knew two summers
But now you're gone
The days pass to winter
You're gone
Yet often I've wished that time would stand still
Time would stand still, still
You're gone from me
Two summers, two winters
And the time between
Yes, those were the good years
The years of gold and green
Two summers, two winters
And the time between
Yes, those were the good years
The years of gold and green
The warm winds grow cold now
You're gone, you're gone
My love couldn't hold you
You're gone
You were wild as the wind and born to be free
Born to be free, free
And gone from me
And gone from me
Who's Leaving Who Composer(s): Mark Spiro; Jack White Performer(s): Anne Murray; Hazell Dean
Here we are with goodbye in our eyes running out of reasons to try the leaves of change have fallen down with both of us wondering why
We're all alone but still it seems Were thousands of miles apart the sense of time has shifted now and the end is beginning to start
'Cause I don't know the answers 'cause I don't know the questions I'm just crying 'cause I don't even know
Who's leaving who is it me is it you dyou think we could change if we knew tell me who's leaving who is there anything left we can do can you tell me who's leaving who
Talk to me is there a chance of working it out heart to heart when we get beyond our angry eyes before everything else falls apart
'Cause I don't know the answers 'cause I don't know the questions I'm just crying 'cause I don't even know
Who's leaving who is it me is it you you think we could change if we knew tell me who's leaving who is there anything left we can do can you tell me who's leaving who
Tell me who's leaving who is it me is it you dyou think we could change if we knew tell me who's leaving who is there anything left we can do can you tell me who's leaving who
Two Steps From The Blues Composer(s): Johnny Brown - Deadric Malone
First recording/First release: Bobby Bland - 1960/1961
One day from the month, I first met you
your promises proved to be untrue
Step by step, I've been a fool
That's why I'm two steps from the blues
Here is a chance to be loved or be lonely
my heart awaits your call
I know it's better to have loved and lost
than never have loved at all
The reason we didn't get along,
was telegram and telephone
One brings badness, the other rendevouz
That keeps me two steps from the blues
So darling let's try and make amends
and if it should fail, let's try and try again
It makes no difference what you say or do
I'm so forgiving, I'm so forgiving
I can't stand living two steps from the blues
Two Steps Forward Composer(s): Loretta Lynn Performer(s): Loretta Lynn
Well here you come and I know what I'm gonna say My mind's made up and I'm a leavin' you today Well I'm tired of askin' you where you've been I'm tired of all this mis'ry I'm in Two steps forward and six steps back again
Well my clothes're packed and I'm a headin' for the door Don't look for me back cause I won't be back no more Well I may think of you now and then But don't hold your breath cause I don't know when Two steps forward and six steps back again
Two steps forward and six steps back You think I didn't want to go These tears in my eyes they're not so real I'm just puttin' on a show I'm leavin' this town and that's for certain Not much I ain't a cryin' not much I ain't a hurtin' Two steps forward and six steps back again
Two steps forward and six steps back... Yeah two steps forward and six steps back again

I'd Love To Live In Loveland (With A Girl Like You) Composer(s): W.R. Williams Performer(s): The Chordettes; Dennis Day
I want to tell you a story A story of love that is true Fill'd with adventure and glory Of wonderful things we can do Though we have trouble with Cupid Love always finds the way Though the story is old 'Tis the sweetest that's told So dearie, I just want to say
Ev'rything's lovely in loveland Where ev'ry heart's beating in tune Like turtle doves are in Doveland And life seems a grand honeymoon There we can stroll in the moonlight By babbling brooks we'll stray Won't you come, girl of mine To that wonderful clime And lovelight will show us the way
I'd love to live in loveland with a girl like you And ev'ry day a holiday with skies of baby blue Where roses bloom forever, and sweethearts are always true I'd love to live in loveland with a girl like you
I'd love to live in loveland with a girl like you And ev'ry day a holiday with skies of baby blue Where roses bloom forever, and sweethearts are always true I'd love to live in loveland with a girl like you
Killarney, My Home Ov'r The Sea Composer(s): Frederic Knight Logan
There's a place in Old Ireland that's dear to my heart 't Is the scene of my childhood so fair From its hills and its valleys, 't was sadness to part From the Lakes of Killarney With beauty so rare Tho' a stranger, alone o'er this wide world I stray And thy lakes and thy mountains no longer I see Still the bloom of that valley in mem'ry shall stay For Erin, Mavourneen, my heart beats for thee
Sure there ne'er was a land where the grass grew so green Nor a place where the sky was more fair With the rocks and the rills one harmonious scene By the Lakes of Killarney With beauty so rare I remember the colleens and lads who were there As they danced in the glen on a bright summer's night To the pipers glad tune as it rang on the air Oh to think of that scene, fills my heart with delight
And I long for dear Ireland, Green Isle of the West Where the shamrock and flow'rs bloom'd for me There the Angels of Peace fold their bright wings and rest By the Lakes of Killarney, my home o'er the sea
Two Steps Behind Composer(s): Joe Elliott Performer(s): Def Leppard; Madcap
Walk away - if you want to It's OK - if you need to Well you can run But you can never hide From the shadow that's creeping up beside you There's a magic running through your soul But you can't have it all
(Whatever you do) I'll be two steps behind you (Wherever you go) I'll be there to remind you That it only takes a minute of you precious time To turn around - I'll be two steps behind
Take the time to think about it Just walk the line - you know you just can't fight it Take a look around - you'll see what you can find Light the fire that's burning up inside me There's a magic running through your soul But you can't have it all
(Whatever you do) I'll be two steps behind you (Wherever you go) I'll be there to remind you That it only takes a minute of you precious time To turn around - I'll be two steps behind
Now there's a magic running through your soul But you, you can't have it all

Yeah baby, two steps behind Oh sugar, two steps behind

She's fifteen and he's barely driving a car She's got his ring and he's got the keys to her heart It's just matter of time They'll spread their wings and fly
Like two sparrows in a hurricane Trying to find their way With a head full of dreams And faith that can move anything They've heard it's all uphill But all they know is how they feel The world says they'll never make it, love says they will
There's a baby crying and one more on the way There's a wolf at the door with a big stack of bills They can't pay The clouds are dark and the wind is high But they can see the other side
Like two sparrows in a hurricane Trying to find their way With a head full of dreams And faith that can move anything They've heard it's all uphill But all they know is how they feel The world says they'll never make it, love says they will
She's eighty-three and he's barely driving a car She's got his ring and he's got the key to her heart It's just a matter of time They'll spread their wings and fly
Like two sparrows in a hurricane Trying to find their way With a head full of dreams And faith that can move anything They've heard it's all uphill But all they know is how they feel The world says they'll never make it, love says they will

Two Sleepy People Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael - Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Bing Crosby & Marilyn Maxwell
and multiple other artists
Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning; look how late it gets
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light
Too much in love to say good-night
Say, here we are, in this cozy chair
Picking on a wishbone from the Frigidaire
Two sleepy people, with nothing to say
Much to much in love to break away
Do you the remember the nights we used to linger in the hall?
Papa didn't like you at all
But I was crazy 'bout you, baby!
Do you remember the reason why we married in the Fall?
To rent this little nest, and get a bit of rest!
Well, here we are, just about the same
Gawky little fellow, dizzy little dame
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light
Much to much in love to say good-night
Good-night!
I'd Love To Build A Love-Nest For You Composer(s): W.R. Williams
I was blue till I met you for everything was wrong Now the world seems wonderful and gaily rolls along And I'm mighty happy since you came my way Glad I met you, can't forget you, and I'm here to say
Our lovenest will be the best for rest that can be found Just like castles in the air but built right on the ground Roses in the garden for our happiness Birds a singing, bells a ringing, if you'll just say yes
You are my star and little rainbow Just like the sunshine from above With your winning smile, you make things worth while just say "yes," for I'll confess 'twill complete our happiness For you are the star that leads to Love-land You're the sweetest girl I ever knew And you make me forget every other girl I've met I'd love to build a love nest for you
