A Married Man's A Fool Composer(s): Willie McTell Performer(s): Ry Cooder; Roy Book Binder; Willie McTell
Had a friend, Louie Brown, he was a deacon Just as wise as he could be Now I realized he could read the Good Book Back from Revelations down to Genesee You know last Sunday morning we was over to the church My buddy wants to take him a stand And he looks out upon the whole congregation The Good Book in his hand
Now he cast his eye about, and then he looks over in the Amen Corner All the sisters commenced to shout [What'd he say?] He said a married man's a fool to think that his wife love nobody else but him She stick by you all o' your life the chances is mighty slim Now you read the Good Book, chapter twenty-one Every married woman got to have a little fun Read on over chapter twenty-two It's a sin to let that woman make a fool outta you Now you read a little further, chapter twenty-three She two-time you, brother, like she double-crossed me Read on back, over chapter ten Shimmy one time, you got the problem again 'Cause a married man's a fool to think that his wife loves nobody else but him I mean, loves nobody else but him
Well, a married man's a fool to think that his wife Loves nobody else but him She stick by you all your life the chances is mighty slim Now you read on over twenty-fifth page Married women's, Lord, is hard to engage Read kinda careful, chapter twenty-six Back door slamming you got to learn to get it fixed Read on out, chapter twenty-eight Who's that back slidin' out through yo' back gate? I believe I'll close on chapter twenty-nine Woman get tired of the same man all the time 'Cause a married man's fool to think that his wife loves nobody else but him I mean love nobody else but him

How Can You Tell Composer(s): Chris Andrews Performer(s): Sandie Shaw
My love says the sweetest things Everyone who knows him tells me That he brings me true loving But I don't really know 'cause
How can you tell if somebody loves you How d'you know they mean it How can you tell if somebody loves you Maybe he's just playing games with me O woah woah woah
He smiles when I take his hand Then he'll kiss me and I just don't understand Why I doubt it When he tells me he loves me How can you tell if somebody loves you How d'you know they mean it How can you tell if somebody loves you Maybe he's just playing games with me O woah woah woah
I treasure every moment He and I spent together Sharing kisses I wish it would last for ever and ever
Maybe I shouldn't speak of love But since I met him it's the one thing I think of And he tells me he feels the same way
And yet how can you tell if somebody loves you How d'you know they mean it How can you tell if somebody loves you Maybe he's just playing games with me O woah woah woah

I've waited all through the years. love To give you a heart true and real Cos I know you are living in sorrow In your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shines bright from your window The trees stand so silent and still I know you're alone with your pride, dear In your loveless mansion on the hill

Muff: Take a look at the folks you've knowed Young or growed Some keep trivin' And some keep strivin' in vain It's a matter of destiny Who you'll be The judge or the preacher Or pitiful creature They's hangin' from a tree

An American landed on Erin's green isle He gazed at Killarney with rapturous smile "How can I buy it?" he said to his guide "I'll tell you how" with a smile he replied How can you buy all the stars in the skies? How can you buy two blue Irish eyes? How can you purchase a fond mother's sighs? How can you buy Killarney? Nature bestowed all her gifts with a smile the emerald, the shamrock, the Blarney. When you can buy all these wonderful things then you can buy Killarney

A Mano A Mano ((French Version: De Jour En Jour (Riccardo Cocciante) - 1978)) Composer(s): Riccardo Cocciante - Marco Luberti First release by: Riccardo Cocciante - 1978
A mano a mano ti accorgi che il vento Ti soffia sul viso e ti ruba un sorriso La vecchia stagione che sta per finire Ti soffia sul cuore e ti ruba l'amore
A mano a mano si scioglie nel pianto Quel dolce ricordo sbiadito dal tempo Di quando vivevi con me in una stanza Non c'erano soldi ma tanta speranza
E a mano a mano mi perdi e ti perdo E quello che è stato ci sembra più assurdo Di quando la notte eri sempre più vera E non come adesso nei sabato sera.... Ma...dammi la mano e torna vicino Può nascere un fiore nel nostro giardino Che neanche l'inverno potrà mai gelare Può crescere un fiore da questo mio amore per te
E a mano a mano vedrai che nel tempo Lì sopra il tuo viso lo stesso sorriso Che il vento crudele ci aveva rubato Che torna fedele L'amore è tornato da te....
De Jour En Jour ((Adapted from: A Mano A Mano (Riccardo Cocciante) - 1978)) Composer(s): Riccardo Cocciante - Marco Luberti - Giovanni Tommaso Performer(s): Riccardo Cocciante - 1978; Ivana Spagna - 2001
De jour en jour, tu comprends que le temps Souffle sur ton visage et te vole un sourire La belle saison qui s'en va lentement A soufflé sur ton coeur et t'a volé tes rêves De jour en jour, tout se fond dans les larmes Même ce souvenir, affaibli par le temps Quand nous vivions, tous deux, dans une chambre Sans rien dans les mains que notre seule espérance De jour en jour, je te perds, tu t'éloignes Et notre passé ne ressemble à rien Pourtant on s'est aimés, pourtant on y croyait On s'était même jurés de ne jamais se quitter Mais donne-moi la main, j'ai envie pour nous deux De refaire le chemin, de nous revoir heureux De te prendre dans mes bras, de me perdre dans tes yeux Tu verras, si l'on veut, que l'on peut recommencer ensemble De jour en jour, de défaites en conquêtes Voir sur ton visage refleurir un sourire La belle saison qui revient lentement Nous rappelle la promesse qu'on s'est faite de ne plus se quitter

Started out good [We started out so good] To end up so bad [To end up so bad] Where did we go wrong [Where did we go wrong] What happened to the love we once had [And what happened to the love we once had] Its slowly slippin away [I feel it slowly slippin away] How can we let it end [And how can we let it end] This love was so right [When this love was so right] From the beginning [From the beginning]
How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now
Thinking of yesterday When love was in full bloom The fires from our love Could light up a room
But somewhere along the way We made a jagged turn The plans we both had Theyre beginning to burn
How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now
How can a love so good turn out so bad (So bad, so bad, so bad, yeah) Tell me what happened to the love we once had (Once had, once had) Too bad, so sad, too bad, whoa, how
How can love so right be so wrong now
One day your love is glad The next day you end up sad Ooh, babe, what a thin line Its enough to drive you mad
One day our love was good and hot Next day runnin cold One day we had a new love But now its old
How, how, how How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now

I can remember when we walked together Sharing a love I thought would last forever Moonlight to show the way so we can follow Waiting inside her eyes was my tomorrow Then somethin' changed her mind, her kisses told me I had no lovin' arms to hold me
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Lonely is a man without love Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Knowing that it's cloudy above Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love
I cannot face this world that's fallen down on me So, if you see my girl please send her home to me Tell her about my heart that's slowly dying Say I can't stop myself from crying
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Lonely is a man without love Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Knowing that it's cloudy above Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Lonely is a man without love Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love

Doy toda mi vida A quién se enamora de mí Y no existe nadie Que pueda alejarme De lo que yo siento por tí
Dicen que no sabré Buscarte flores Que no podré ofrecerte Ningún regalo
Dicen que yo he sufrido De mal de amores Y que mi corazón No se ha curado
La mia ragazza sa che non è vero La mia ragazza sa che quando
Quando m'innamoro Io do tutto il bene A chi è immamorato di me E non c'è nessuno Che mi può cambiare Che mi può staccare da lei
Cuando me enamoro Doy toda mi vida A quién se enamora de mi Y no existe nadie Que pueda alejarme De lo que yo siento por ti
A chi mi dice vivi Un altro giorno Todos comprenderán Que cuando
Cuando me enamoro Doy toda me vida A quién se enamora de mí E non c'è nessuno Che mi può cambiare Che mi può staccare da lei
Quando m'innamoro Io do tutto il bene A chi è immamorato di me Y no existe nadie Que pueda alejarme De lo que yo siento por ti

She's the prettiest girl in town & she sure knows it The way she walks and the way she talks sure shows it I hate that stuck-up so-&-so But there's one thing I gotta know Where 's she live, what's her number and how can I meet her?

How Can I Help You Say Goodbye Composer(s): Burton Collins; Karen Taylor-Good Performer(s): Patty Loveless; and various other artists
Through the back window of a '59 wagon I watched my best friend Jamie slippin' further away I kept on waving 'till I couldn't see her And through my tears, I asked again why we couldn't stay Mama whispered softly Time will ease your pain Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same
And she said How can I help you to say goodbye? It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry Come, let me hold you and I will try How can I help you to say goodbye?
I sat on our bed, he packed his suitcase I held a picture of our wedding day His hands were trembling, we both were crying He kissed me gently and then he quickly walked away I called up Mama, she said Time will ease your pain Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same
And she said How can I help you to say goodbye? It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry Come, let me hold you and I will try How can I help you to say goodbye?
Sitting with Mama alone in her bedroom She opened her eyes, and then squeezed my hand She said, I have to go now, my time here is over And with her final word, she tried to help me understand Mama whispered softly Time will ease your pain Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same
And she said How can I help you to say goodbye? It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry Come, let me hold you and I will try How can I help you to say goodbye?

Dizem que eu não sei amar a vida E que não tenho nada prá oferecer a alguém Que em meu coração só há tristeza E que não posso nunca amar ninguem
Mais meu amor bem sabe não ser verdade Meu amor carinho já provou

How Can I Be Sure Composer(s): Eddie Brigati; Felix Cavaliere Performer(s): The Young Rascals
How can I be sure In a world that's constantly changin'? How can I be sure Where I stand with you?
Whenever I Whenever I am away from you I wanna die 'cause you know I wanna stay with you
How do I know? Maybe you're trying to use me Flying too high can confuse me Touch me but don't take me down
Whenever I Whenever I am away from you My alibi is tellin' people I don't care for you Maybe I'm just hanging around With my head up, upside down It's a pity I can't seem to find someone Who's as pretty 'n' lovely as you
How can I be sure I really, really, really, wanna kno-o-ow I really, really, really, wanna kno-o-ow
How's the weather? Weather or not, we're together Together we'll see it much better I love you, I love you forever You know where I can be found
How can I be sure In a world that's constantly changing? How can I be sure? I'll be sure with you
