Stones In My Passway Composer(s): Robert Johnson First release by: Robert Johnson - 1937 Covered by multiple other artists
I got stones in my passway and my road seems dark at night I got stones in my passway and my road seems dark at night I have pains in my heart, they have taken my appetite
I have a bird to whistle and I have a bird to sing Have a bird to whistle and I have a bird to sing I got a woman that I'm loving, oh, but she don't mean a thing
My enemies have betrayed me, have overtaken poor Bob at last My enemies have betrayed me, have overtaken poor Bob at last And there's one thing certain, they have stones all in my pass
Now you're trying to take my life and all my lovin' too You have laid a passway for me, now what are you trying to do? I'm crying, "Please, please, let us be friends" Now when you hear me howling in my passway, rider please open your door and let me in
I got three legs to truck on, whoa, please don't block my road I got three legs to truck on, whoa, please don't block my road I been feelin' strange 'bout my rider, babe, I'm booked and I got to go
(You've Been Quite A Doll) Raggedy Ann Composer(s): Red Lane Performer(s): Little Jimmy Dickens
You sure have been quite a doll, Raggedy Ann Yes, quite a doll But I didn't really know you until I started making these trips up here to talk to you And now I'm beginning to see more and more why my baby loved you so much Why, Raggedy Ann, sometimes I'd almost swear that you're just about as much alive as I am When I hug you up close to me I feel every ounce of the warm glow of love that she must've felt And you know what, Raggedy Ann I'd give anything I owned in this world If I knew just half of the memories that have passed through those little black button eyes of yours Hid themselves in their tear stained stuff
Well I bet your just busting out with little old childhood secrets that could really set a lonely man's heart aglow Sometimes I still have to laugh the way you had to sample all of her food And see all of her little new dresses And answer a thousand questions It's really a small wonder that you're all in one piece The way she used to drag you around by one leg everywhere she went But you didn't seem to mind 'cause you always had that big ole smile on your face And You know something, Raggedy Ann I bet that smile has dryed more tears and cured more little hurts then I could ever hope to kiss away
And I'll tell you something else That big smile has given me strength to face some pretty trying times myself And I want to thank you again, Raggedy Ann For helping me raise her after her Momma died Somehow you just stepped right into her Momma shoes And just that much further into our hearts And that year of the rains, remember One night the fever took my baby You just laid right there beside her While I did everything I could, right up to the end And since then its just been me and you, Raggedy Ann Just me and you
But you know the years haven't seemed to bother you too much Course, you're a little faded here and there from the wind and rain But that heartwarming charm and that spark of love seems stronger now then it ever did And look at me, why I barely made it up the hill today Look Raggedy Ann, I can't even brush the dirt from my knees So don't look for me tomorrow, I won't make it I'd like to take you with me, Raggedy Ann But I know you'll be happier right here Watching over my baby and keeping her warm Well, I've got to leave you now, I gotta go And about the only thing that comes to my mind to say to you is "God Bless You" And you sure have been quite a doll, Raggedy Ann Yes sir, quite a doll
(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care From the film "Jailhouse Rock" Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller Originally performed by: Elvis Presley Covered by various other artists
You don't like crazy music You don't like rockin' bands You just wanna go to a movie show And sit there holdin' hands You're so square Baby, I don't care
You don't like hotrod racin' Or drivin' late at night You just wanna park where it's nice and dark You just wanna hold me tight You're so square Baby, I don't care
You don't know any dance steps that are new But no one else could love me like you do, do, do, do
I don't know why my heart flips I only know it does I wonder why I love you, baby I guess it's just because You're so square Baby, I don't care Baby, I don't care Baby, I don't care Baby, I don't care
I don't know why my heart flips I only know it does I wonder why I love you, baby I guess it's just because You're so square Baby, I don't care Baby, I don't care Baby, I don't care, care, care I don't care, care, care

(You're Gone But) Always In My Heart Composer(s): Brian Holland; Lamont Dozier; Edward Holland Jr. Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes
Gone is your smiling face 'Cause you're not around anymore But the sound of your laughter Still fills this empty place 'Cause you're always in my heart
Gone is the tender way You used to whisper How much you care But the sound of your whisper Still echoes lovely in the air 'Cause you're always in my heart
Though I removed Your picture from the wall Nothing's changed For your image still remains
In my heart from you It can't seem to part Though gone is your warm embrace But your memory I can't erase
'Cause you're always in my heart 'Cause you're always in my heart
There'll be trains of blossoms (there'll be trains of blossoms) There'll be trains of music (there'll be music) There'll be trains of trust, trains of golden dust Come along and surry on sweet trains of thought
Surry on down Can you surry, can you surry Surry down to a stoned soul picnic Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
There'll be lots of time and wine Red yellow honey, sassafras and moonshine Red yellow honey Sassafras and moonshine (moonshine)
Believe Again Composer(s): Ronan Keating - Martin Michael Larsson - Lars Halvor Jensen First performance by: Brinck - 2009
You made it so easy to fall I could not stand at all I saw you beside me You never saw me there at all
I promised you all this I made plans thinking this was it I never imagined I'd find you Lose myself instead
I never had a picture of an end
And I... I wanna believe in love I wanna believe in something bigger Than the two of us, yeah... I... I wanna breathe again I wanna go back to the days The days I had my innocence I wanna believe again
I picked up the pieces And put them back where they belong But something is missing Though I look the same, I'm not that strong But I'm gonna learn to trust again
And I... I wanna believe in love I wanna believe in something bigger Than the two of us (The two of us) And I... I wanna breathe again I wanna go back to the days The days I had my innocence I wanna believe again
For without love, what do we become? I never had a picture of an end
And I... I wanna believe in love I wanna believe in something bigger Than the two of us (The two of us) I... I wanna breathe again I wanna believe I wanna believe I wanna believe again
(You Really) Rock Me Composer(s): Nick Gilder; James McCulloch Performer(s): Nick Gilder
(You really) Rock Me
Take them for the ride Let them feel the energy you can provide Roll it through the times Make it feel like real emotion this time around
You're so physical very intellectual Can't stop asking why Running with the changes I'm a social institution Don't stop driving them wild, wild, wild
(You really) rock me
Touching with your eyes Make contact for the moment Where you think you'll survive Take them for the ride Although young Tomorrow wants to know your surprise
Stoned Love Composer(s): Yennik Samoht - F. Wilson Performer(s): The Supremes
Now I want to tell you of a great love Ohhhhhhhhhhh, it will light up It will surely light up Darkened worlds If you just believe.....
Stoned love Soned love, oh yeah
A love for each other will bring fighting to an end Forgiving one another, time after time, doubt creeps in But like the sun lights up the sky with a message from above Oh, yeah, I find no other greater symbol of this love
Dont you hear the wind blowin? Stoned love, oh yeah I tell you I aint got no other Stoned love, oh, yeah
Life is so short put the present time at hand And if you're young at heart rise up and take your stand And to the man on whose shoulder the world must depend I pray for peace and love, Amen
Can't ya hear it? Stoned love, oh yeah I tell you I aint got no other Stoned love, oh, yeah
If a war 'tween our nations passed Will the love 'tween our brothers and sisters last On and on and on and on and....
Dont ya hear the wind blowin? Stoned love, oh yeah I tell you I aint got no other (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Mm-hmm Stoned love Can't cha, can't cha, can't cha, can't cha, can't cha feel it?

(You Never Can Tell) C'est La Vie Composer(s): Chuck Berry Performer(s): Emmylou Harris; The Relics
It was a teenage wedding And the old folks wished them well You could see that Pierre Did truly love the mademoiselle And now the young monsieur and madame Have rung the chapel bell "C'est la vie", say the old folks It goes to slow you never can tell They furnished off an apartment With a two room Roebuck sale The coolerator was crammed With T.V. dimmers and ginger ale But when Pierre found work The little money comin' worked out well "C'est la vie", say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell
They had a hi-fi phono Boy did they let it blast Seven hundred little records All rockin' rhythm and jazz But when the sun went down The rapid tempo of the music fell "C'est la vie", say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell they bought a souped-up jitney T'was a cherry-red fifty nine They drove it down to New Orleans To celebrate their anniversary It was there that Pierre Was wedded to the lovely mad'moiselle "C'est la vie", say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell
What If We Composer(s): Marc Paelinck - Gregory Bilsen First performance by: Chiara - 2009
Words of wisdom, prophets and quotes Wise men talking, tales from the old I reach for the stars, wherever they are, in darkness We're lost, fading away
What if we could be free? Mystify our wisdom in time And one day we'll see What if we found the key? Throw the dice, unravel our lies And learn how to be
All the madness feeding our soul Take a wild guess out of control There will be a star, no matter how far, shining One day we'll sail away
What if we could be free? Mystify our wisdom in time And one day we'll see What if we found the key? Throw the dice, unravel our lies And learn how to be
If you don't know your destination Who determines your destiny?
What if we could be free? Mystify our wisdom in time And one day we'll see What if we found the key? Throw the dice, unravel our lies And learn how to be
(You Make Me) Hungry For Your Loving French Title: Par Gourmandise Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
You make me hungry for your loving Takes (?) your smile from my heart Youre like the cherry cake and candy I used to steal when I was young The sweet objective of desire Forbidden fruit that must be mine I want to know you with my kisses And drink your lips like some wine
You make me hungry for your loving I devour you with my eyes Your body talks to me of pleasure The food that love alone supplies Arosing up the tides within me That I have never known before And in my greediness I take you And come again and ask for more
You make me hungry for your loving I savour every part of you You fill my senses so (?) quickly And all you say and all you do You really satisfy my hunger Theres so much love that I can call (?)
Now were alone, you must come closer The taste of loving you is all I needed to know
(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Man Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King; Jerry Wexler Performer(s): Rod Stewart; James Ingram; The Lettermen
Looking out on the morning rain I used to feel so uninspired But when I knew I had to face another long, long day girl I used to feel so tired
Before the day I met you life had been so unkind but you're the key to my peace of mind 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel you made me feel like a natural man
When my soul was in the lost and found you came along to claim it I didn't know, I didn't know just what was wrong with me till your kiss helped me to name it Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for but if I make you happy I don't need to do more 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel you made me feel like a natural man
Oo baby, baby look what you have done to me Can't you see that you made me feel so good inside Don't you know that I just want to be close to you, you made me feel so alive 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel you made me feel like a natural man
Baby I ain't doubtful of what I'm living for but if I make you happy I don't need to do more 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel Well you made me feel like a natural man
Always Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Vincent Lopez & His Orch. and multiple other artists
Everything went wrong And the whole day long I'd feel so blue For the longest while I'd forget to smile Then I met you Now that my blue days have passed, Now that I've found you at last ........
I'll be loving you always With a love that's true, always When the things you've planned Need a helping hand I will understand, always
Always
Days may not be fair, always That's when I'll be there, always Not for just an hour Not for just a day Not for just a year But always
I'll be loving you, oh always With a love that's true, always When the things you've planned Need a helping hand I will understand, always
Always
Days may not be fair, always That's when I'll be there, always Not for just an hour Not for just a day Not for just a year But always
Not for just an hour Not for just a day Not for just a year But always
(You Lift Me) Up To Heaven Composer(s): Johnny MacRae; Bob Morrison; Bill Zerface; Jim Zerface Performer(s): Reba McEntire; Larry Stephenson Band
Been to Colorado where the mountains touch the sky And I've done other things in life to lift my spirits high But nothing that I've ever tried to do Has taken me as high as loving you
Chorus: Cause you lift me up, up, up, up to heaven When you gently lay me down You lift me up, up, up, up to heaven Yes you make my world go round
I never try to get away on daydreams anymore Love's taken me to places that I've never been before But if it's not heaven when you're holding me It's the way that heaven oughta be
Repeat chorus
And we never leave the ground Up, up, up, up to heaven Yes you make my world go round
