After All You Said Composer(s): Roger Steen - Fee Waybill Performer(s): The Tubes
I guess you're still too wild after all you said and did not mean
What hides behind the smile after all you said and made believe
Riding line doesn't sound so bad Just the wide open spaces Lots of time to reflect the past Lots of time to forget your face
Someone I thought we talked about it all Somewhere Who wrote the writing on the wall Somehow It just took some time to reveal Someone The lies were painfully real
Imagine for so long after all you said and would not say Illusions are all wrong after all you said and could explain
Riding line doesn't sound so bad Just the wide open spaces
Someone I thought we talked about it all Somewhere Who wrote the writing on the wall Somehow It just took some time to reveal Someone The lies were painfully real
No more tears after all you said
Can't expect the clouds to clear if you're left in darkness Your reflection's not in the mirror I suspect you're heartless
What Is Wrong, What Is Right Composer(s): Keith Hopwood; Derek Leckenby; Harvey Lisberg Performer(s): Herman's Hermits
She's stroking her cat with her silken fingers A would-be charmer whose life's incomplete I'm working so hard to try and get to know her Her parents say who she sees and who she meets
Always on her own Walking through the city Doesn't want to know If anyone should try to pick her up She'll put them down
She only drinks at the dining table She's not allowed to stay up late at night Her only joy is the riding stable Her parents say what is wrong and what is right
Always on her own Walking through the city Doesn't want to know If anyone should try to pick her up She'll put them down
The day will come when she'll see the time she's wasted She's twenty-one and without their guiding light There's so many things that she's never tasted Who'll be there to say what is wrong and what is right
What Is True? Composer(s): Sandy Denny Performer(s): Fairport Convention
Silver tongues are speaking long and hard into the night I must be myself and I'll do alright Oh, please my darling, do not make me sad Late at night nobody really wants to feel that bad The rain it beats impatiently upon the window pane I must close my ears or I'll go insane Can't you be a gentle breeze or silent as a snowfall Won't you try and listen for the voice behind the wall It cries to you
chorus: Even though it only ever whispers part of what it knows And it's never ventured through the locks Where the brazen river flows It's the fingerprint which is never made It's the perfume of a rose And it is there if you are searching But the moment must be right As the night is black, as the day is white Please my friend, help to make me glad Help me find the one and only thing I've never had What is true
After All These Years Composer(s): Fred Spielman - Janice Torre Performer(s): Norma Zimmer
After all these years, after all my tears After all the lonely days Ive known Now I have a son, such a tiny one Like a little doll, but a baby all my own Now my world is bright Things have turned out right After all my doubts and all my fears You belong to me and well live happily Together ever after all these years
You belong to me and well live happily Together ever after all these years
What Is This Thing Called Love? Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
I was a humdrum person Leading a life apart When love flew in through my window wide And quickened my hum-drum heart Love flew in through my window I was so happy then But after love had stayed a little while Love flew out again
What is this thing called love? This funny thing called love? Just who can solve its mystery? Why should it make a fool of me? I saw you there one wonderful day You took my heart and threw it away That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above What is this thing called love?
You gave me days of sunshine You gave me nights of cheer You made my life an enchanted dream 'Til somebody else came near Somebody else came near you I felt the winter's chill And now I sit and wonder night and day Why I love you still?
What Is There To Say? Composer(s): Vernon Duke; E.Y. "Yip" Harburg Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald
Darling, pardon my confusion But are you an optical illusion? And if not, then what on earth are you doing to me? If my speech is willy nilly It's because I cannot guild the lilly I should love to sing your praises But phrases and words are silly
What is there to say? And what is there to do? The dream I've been seeking has, practic'ly speaking Come true
What is there to say? And how will I pull through? I knew in a moment contentment and home meant just you
You are so lovable, so livable Your beauty is just unforgiveable You're made to marvel at, and words to that effect
What is there to say? And what is there to do? My heart's in a deadlock I'd even face wedlock with you
I knew in a moment contentment and home meant just you, so What is there to say? And what is there to do? My heart's in a deadlock I'd even face wedlock with you
After all the time that has passed The wound remains inside and hasn't healed How crazy are the things that the soul whimsically decides to keep
After my thoughts denied you after my heart grew silent the coals are still red how useless it is to try to forget
I saw you in a dream again, yesterday I must confess Only by singing I could talk to you Good morning, heartache Here we go again After such a long time After such a long time
After all the wind that blew the ship remains still and did not sink It doesn't moor in any port nor will it go to open sea, it waited for you
After all the time that has passed I know there is no meeting between us This song belongs to you keep it before it runs away just like you did
What Is Soul? Composer(s): Bob Gallo; Ben E. King Performer(s): Ben E. King; and various other artists
What is soul? What is soul, babe?
Some few people really know It's deep within us, it doesn't show A soul is somethin' that comes from deep inside But a soul is a somethin' that you can't hide
What is soul? What is soul, babe?
Search your heart, go deep down low Way down there you'll find your soul Come near girl, you look so cold Touch my hand and warm your soul
Baby, baby, what's wrong with you You don't know what I'm going through Hold me so tight, so tight I can't breath Can't you feel it girl? Don't you know what I mean? This is soul!
This is soul! Feel the soul, babe! What is soul, babe? Don't you know? What is soul, babe? ....
After All The Good Is Gone Composer(s): Floyd Cramer - Conway Twitty Performer(s): Conway Twitty and multiple other artists
Today I got a letter from someone Just a friend we knew some time ago And as I read between the lines I began to realize He didn't know I'd lost you A long long time ago Oh, I, just can't make it any longer Everything I do is always wrong I'm just living a lie And there's no use in trying To keep hanging on After all the good is gone
Lord I wish that I could die And there's no use in trying To keep hanging on After all the good is gone
What Is Life Composer(s): George Harrison Performer(s): George Harrison

After All Composer(s): Tom Snow - Dean Pitchford Performer(s): Cher & Peter Cetera
(Him) Well, here we are again I guess it must be fate We've tried it on our own But deep inside we've known We'd be back to set things straight
(Her) I still remember when Your kiss was so brand new Every memory repeats Every step I take retreats
(Them) Every journey always brings me back to you (Them) After all the stops and starts We keep coming back to these two hearts Two angels who've been rescued from the fall And after all that we've been through
(Her) It all comes down to me and you
(Him) I guess it's meant to be Forever you and me After all
(Her) When love is truly right
(Him) This time it's truly right
(Her) It lives from year to year
(Them) It changes as it grows
(Her) And oh the way it grows
(Them) But it never disappears (Them) After all the stops and starts We keep coming back to these two hearts Two angels who've been rescued from the fall And after all that we've been through
(Her) It all comes down to me and you
(Him) I guess it's meant to be Forever you and me After all
(Him) Always just beyond my tough Though I needed you so much
(Her) After all what else is living for
(Them) Whoa (Them) After all the stops and starts We keep coming back to these two hearts Two angels who've been rescued from the fall And after all that we've been through
(Her) It all comes down to me and you
(Him) I guess it's meant to be Forever you and me
(Them) After all the stops and starts We keep coming back to these two hearts Two angels who've been rescued from the fall And after all that we've been through
What I'd Say Composer(s): Robert Byrne; William Robinson Performer(s): Earl Thomas Conley; - 1988 Gary Allan; Davey T Hamilton
Talkin' to the mirror, whisperin' your name Just like you were here, you'd think I was insane I hold these conversations in the silence of my room Rehearsing all the things I'd say should I run into you
"How's it going?" might be what I'd say "You broke my heart you know" or "It looks like rain today" Or maybe, "God, I missed you since you went away" "You're lookin' well" or "Go to hell" might be what I'd say
There's times I feel so angry I'd put my fist right through the wall Then there's times I've come so close to giving you a call I love you and I hate you all at the same time I pray that you'll come back to me before I lose my mind
"How's it going?" might be what I'd say "You broke my heart you know" or "It looks like rain today" Or maybe, "God, I missed you since you went away" "You're lookin' well" or "Go to hell" might be what I'd say
Guess you'll have to wait until that day To find out what I'd say "God, I missed you since you went away" "Your looking well" or "Go to hell" might be what I'd say
African Skies Composer(s): Charlie Burchill - Jim Kerr Performer(s): Simple Minds
You say you're surprised I thought I'd write today Pieces of my life That time can't fade away Land lies dry - Africa And the clouds roll by - Africa I held you every night I believed in all you'd say Now the dust blows in my eyes But those dreams won't fade away
The sky burns red - Africa Don't you cry - Africa
Africa When you cry it rains - Africa
Still the children smile - Africa When you cry it rains - Africa When the wild dogs howl - Africa Still the clouds roll by - Africa
