    After The Fall
    Composer(s): Steve Perry - Jonathan Cain
    Performer(s): Journey



    So now love is gone
    And I can't go on
    Love is gone
    I want to say - now it's just to late
    Waited far too long

    Should'a told you then I knew
    Should'a told you right from the start - yeah
    But the words didn't come out right
    So I'll tell you straight from my heart

    You meant more to me
    Then I let you see
    You held on somehow
    All your tenderness and your sweet caress
    I miss you now

    But a head strong stubborn man
    Only works it out the best he can
    Valentines he never sent
    There's not enough time he's a working man

    Can't stop falling
    Heartaches calling
    Finds you after the fall
    Saints or sinners
    Take no prisoners
    What's left - after you fall
    No not much no

    I said love is gone
    I can't go on
    Now love is gone
    I want to say but it's just too late
    Waited far too long

    Should'a told you then I knew
    Should'a told you right from the start - yeah
    But the words didn't come out right
    So I'll tell you straight from my heart

    Can't stop falling
    Heartaches calling
    Finds you after the fall
    Saints or sinners
    Take no prisoners
    What's left - after you fall
    No not much no

    Oh no not much
    After the fall
    After you fall
    After you - fall

    What To Do
    Composer(s): Buddy Holly
    Performer(s): Buddy Holly;
    and various other artists



    What to do now that she doesn’t want me
    That’s what haunts me - what to do

    What to do to keep from feeling lonely
    Want her only - what to do

    The record hops & all the happy times we had
    The soda shop - the walks to school now make me sad, oh

    What to do - I know my heartache’s showing
    Still not knowing - what to do

    The record hops & all the happy times we had
    The soda shop - the walks to school now make me sad, oh

    What to do - I know my heartache’s showing
    Still not knowing - what to do

    After The Ball
    Composer(s): Charles K. Harris
    Performer(s): J. Aldrich Libbey
    and multiple other artists



    A little maiden climbed an old man's knee
    Begged for a story, "Do, Uncle, please"
    Why are you single; Why live alone?
    Have you no babies, have you no home?"

    "I had a sweetheart, years, years ago
    Where she is now, pet, you soon will know
    List to the story, I'll tell it all
    I believed her faithless, after the Ball"

    After the ball is over
    After the break of dawn
    After the dancer's leaving
    After the stars are gone
    Many a heart is aching
    If you could read them all
    Many the hopes that have vanished
    After the ball

    Bright lights were flashing in the grand ballroom
    Softly the music, playing sweet tunes
    There came my sweetheart, my love, my own
    I wished some water, left her alone

    When I returned, dear, there stood a man
    Kissing my sweetheart, as lovers can
    Down fell the glass, pet, broken that's all
    Just as my heart was, after the ball

    After the ball is over
    After the break of dawn
    After the dancer's leaving
    After the stars are gone
    Many a heart is aching
    If you could read them all
    Many the hopes that have vanished
    After the ball

    Long years have passed, child, I've never wed
    True to my lost love, though she is dead
    She tried to tell me, tried to explain
    I would not listen, pleadings were in vain

    One day a letter came from that man
    He was her brother, the letter ran
    That's why I'm lonely, not home at all
    I broke her heart
    After the ball

    After the ball is over
    After the break of dawn
    After the dancer's leaving
    After the stars are gone
    Many a heart is aching
    If you could read them all
    Many the hopes that have vanished
    After the ball

    After the ball is over
    After the break of dawn
    After the dancer's leaving
    After the stars are gone
    Many a heart is aching
    If you could read them all
    Many the hopes that have vanished
    After the ball

    What The World Needs Now
    Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
    Performer(s): Dionne Warwick



    What the world needs now
    What the world needs now
    Is love, sweet love
    It's the only thing
    That there's just too little of
    What the world needs now
    Is love, sweet love
    No not just for some
    But for everyone

    Lord, we don't need
    Another mountain
    There are mountains
    And hillsides enough to climb
    There are oceans
    And rivers enough to cross
    Enough to last
    Till the end of time

    What the world needs now
    Is love, sweet love
    It's the only thing
    That there's just too little of
    What the world needs now
    Is love, sweet love
    No, not just for some
    But for everyone

    Lord, we don't need
    Another meadow
    There are cornfields
    And wheat fields enough to grow
    There are sunbeams
    And moonbeams enough to shine
    Oh listen, lord
    If you want to know

    What the world needs now
    Is love, sweet love
    It's the only thing
    That there's just too little of
    What the world needs now
    Is love, sweet love
    No, not just for some
    But for everyone

    No, not just for some
    Oh, but just for everyone

    After School
    Composer(s): Warren Nadel - Dick Wolf
    Performer(s): Teresa Brewer; Randy Starr



    Yesterday I waited for you
    At the corner candy store
    The way I always do
    The hours passed, the gang went home
    I was left there all alone
    Waiting just for you

    After school waiting for you
    Am I a fool to wait for you the way I do
    After school

    I wonder if it could be true
    That you had found somebody new
    To take the place I've known
    Finally, it got so late
    I saw I was a fool to wait
    So I walked home alone

    After school waiting for you
    Am I a fool to wait for you the way I do
    After school

    Here I am just like before
    Waiting at the candy store
    The way I always do
    Will it be him/her, will it be me
    I'm wondering who it will be
    Walking home with you

    After school waiting for you
    Am I a fool to wait for you the way I do
    After school

    What The Well-Dressed Man In Harlem Will Wear
    Composer(s): Irving Berlin
    Performer(s): James Cross



    There's a change in fashion that shows
    In those Lennox Avenue clothes
    Mister Dude has disappeared with his flashy tie
    You'll see in the Harlem Esquire
    What the well-dressed man will desire
    When he's struttin' down the street with his sweetie-pie

    Sun tan
    Shade of green
    Or an olive drab color scheme
    That's what the well-dressed man in Harlem will wear

    Dressed up
    In O.D.'s
    With a tin hat for overseas
    That's what the well-dressed man in Harlem will wear

    Top hat, white tie and tails no more
    They've been put away till after the war

    If you
    Want to know
    Take a look at Brown Bomber Joe
    That's what the well-dressed man in Harlem will wear

    I laughed the day I saw you leave, I laughed and said Id never grieve
    But now after my laughter came tears (after my laughter came tears)

    I told my friends, I didnt care, I laughed about a whole affair
    But say now after my laughter came tears

    My cryin' helped me from showin' them that I was blue (listen)
    By myself you'll never know what I've been through (just what I'm goin' through)

    My lips conceal a hurtin' pain, I make believe but all in vain
    I said now after my ...

    My cryin' helped me from showin' them that I was blue (listen)

    My lips conceal a hurtin' pain, I make believe but all in vain

    What The Hell
    Composer(s): Terry Cashman; Gene Pistilli; Tommy West
    Performer(s): Jim Croce & Ingrid Croce



    Oh my room will always have some people
    You see Johnny Carson is a friend of mine
    And my music box will always play me something
    If something's what I need to ease my mind
    Take what you want
    I'll feel much better
    Don't hang around
    Till I get myself together
    You can leave those pieces right there where they fell
    Someone else will come along and pick 'em up
    Say what the hell

    If I don't see you in the morning
    Guess the sun might come up anyway
    And without you here to love and stand beside me
    Guess I just might make it through the day
    If you should call from time to time
    Don't be surprised
    If the voice that answers ain't mine
    'Cause you left the pieces right there where they fell
    Someone else just came along and picked 'em up
    Say what the hell

    If you should call from time to time
    Don't be surprised
    If the voice that answers ain't mine
    'Cause you left those pieces right there where they fell
    Someone else just came along and picked 'em up
    Say what the hell

    If she don't love me come tomorrow
    If you can't get what you want, want what you got
    And I won't be drugged with words like joy and sorrow
    I won't feel one way or the other
    Like as not
    I'll soon forget you
    Leave my life
    Guess you thought I'd never let you
    'Cause you left those pieces right there where they fell
    Someone else just came along and picked 'em up
    Say what the hell

    After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down

    Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan;
    and various other artists



    Sir if you don't mind, I'd rather be alone
    From the moment I walked in tonight, you've been comin' on
    If I told you once, I told you twice, I'm just here to unwind
    I'm not interested in romance or what you have in mind

    What part of no don't you understand
    I'll put it plain and simple, I'm not into one night stands
    I'll be glad to explain it, if it's too hard to comprehend
    What part of no don't you understand

    I appreciate the drink and the rose was nice of you
    I don't mean to be so bleak, I don't think I'm gettin' through
    I don't need no company and I don't want to dance
    What part of no don't you understand

    What part of no don't you understand
    I'll put it plain and simple, I'm not into one night stands
    I'll be glad to explain it, if it's too hard to comprehend
    What part of NO don't you understand

    I appreciate the drink and the rose was nice of you
    I don't mean to be so bleak, I don't think I'm gettin' through
    I don't need no company and I don't want to dance
    What part of no don't you understand

    Covered by multiple other artists



    But now after loving you
    what else is there to do
    For honey, all the rest is just
    gonna have to be second best
    I know I'll go through life comparing her to you
    That's 'cause I'm no good
    I'm no good to anyone after loving you
    Your precious love cannot be erased
    by just another woman with a pretty face
    And your memory
    you know it will remain for it cannot be erased
    Other loves may come along
    they can't live up to you
    That's 'cause I'm no good
    I'm no good to anyone after loving you
    Your precious love cannot be erased
    by just another woman with a pretty face
    And your memory
    you know it will remain for it cannot be erased
    Other loves may come along
    they can't live up to you
    That's 'cause I'm no good
    I'm no good to anyone after loving you
    I said I'm no good
    I'm no good to anyone after loving you
    I said I'm no good
    I'm no good, I'm no good to anyone
    To anyone, to anyone
    to anyone after loving you
    That's 'cause I'm no good
    I'm no good to anyone after loving you

    What now my love
    Now that you left me
    How can I live through another day
    Watching my dreams turn into ashes
    And all my hopes into bits of clay
    Once I could see, once I could feel
    Now I am numb
    I've become unreal

    I walk the night, oh, without a goal
    Stripped of my heart, my soul
    What now my love
    Now that it's over
    I feel the world closing in on me
    Here come the stars
    Tumbling around me
    And there's the sky where the sea should be

    What now my love
    Now that you're gone
    I'd be a fool to go on and on
    No one would care, no one would cry
    If I should live or die

    What now my love
    Now there is nothing
    Only my last goodbye
    Only my last goodbye

    Now that I have known love as sweet as yours
    Love so very deep and complete as yours
    Hunger for your lips, pains of jealousy
    After loving you, what is left for me

    Head and heart and soul, overpowered by love
    I forget that there was a God above
    Tortured by the things that I couldn't see
    After loving you, what is left for me

    Leave me and my voice would become so still
    And my touch would be winter's icy chill
    Leave me and my eyes would be full of rain
    And the need of you surging through and through
    Would drive me insane

    Loving you so much that it tears my heart
    That would hurt me less than to be apart
    So it will remain till eternity
    There's no other world that is worth passing through
    After holding you
    After kissing you
    After loving you

    What More Can I Give?
    Spanish Title: Todo Para Ti
    Composer(s): Michael Jackson
    Performer(s): Michael Jackson;
    and various other artists



    How many people would have to die before we understand
    How many children have to cry, before we do all we can?
    If sending your love is all you can give
    That we all live

    How many times can we turn our heads
    And pretend we cannot see
    Healing the wounds of our broken earth
    We are one global family
    Just sending your preying
    Is something you will feel
    Helping one heal

    Chorus
    What have I got that I can give?
    What have I got that I can give?
    To love and to teach you
    To hold and to need you
    What more can I give?

    Now let's rather lay down our fears
    And reach out and make a pact
    Show him the love that is in our hearts
    Let us bring salvation back
    Just sending your love
    Has the power to heal
    So let's all give

    Chorus
    What have I got that I can give?
    What have I got that I can give?
    To love and to teach you
    To hold and to need you
    What more can I give?

    Chorus
    Say the words
    I will lay me down for you
    Call my name
    I am your friend
    Why do they keep teaching us
    Such hate and cruelty
    We should give over and over again
    Over and Over again

    (Repeat chorus 3 times)

    Don't do it
    Don't drop the ball

    What have I got that I can give?
    What have I got that I can give?
    To love and to conceal you
    To hold and to need you
    What more can I give?

    What have I got that I can give?
    What have I got that I can give?
    To love and to conceal you
    To hold and to need you
    What more can I give?

    Now my life's just one big heartache and my world is turning blue
    I've gotta hurt I can't get over after losing you
    I go to the places we used to go just hopin' to get a glimpse of you
    And everytime I see you with your new love it hurts me and breaks my heart in two
    I thought no one could come between us for you said you loved me true
    You've put me down I went to pieces after losing you
    I thought no one could come...

    What Matters Most
    Composer(s): Alan Bergman; Marilyn Bergman; Dave Grusin
    Performer(s): John Barr;
    and various other artists



    It's not how long we held each other's hands
    What matter is how well we loved each other
    It's not how far we've travelled on our way
    But what we found to say
    It's not the spring we see
    But all the shades of green
    It's not how long I held you in my arms
    What matter is how sweet the years together
    It's not how many summertimes
    We have to give to give to fall
    The early morning smiles
    We cheerfully recall
    What matters most is that we loved at all
    It's not how many summertimes
    We have to give to give to fall
    The early morning smiles
    We cheerfully recall
    What matters most is that we loved at all
    What matters most is that we loved at all...

    After I Say I'm Sorry
    Composer(s): Abe Lyman - Walter Donaldson
    Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
    and multiple other artists



    What can I do to prove it to you that I'm sorry
    I didn't mean to ever be mean to you
    If I didn't care I wouldn't feel like I do
    I was so wrong, right or wrong I don't blame you
    Why should I take somebody like you and shame you
    I know that I made you cry and I'm so sorry dear
    So what can I say dear after I say I'm sorry
    Baby I'm so, I'm sorry
    Got to prove that I'm so sorry
    I made you cry and I'm so sorry dear
    What can I say dear, what can I do
    What can I say, what can I do after I say I'm sorry

    What Makes A Man ((Adapted from: Comme Ils Disent (Charles Aznavour) - 1972)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Bradford Craig Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1972

    My mum and I we live alone
    A great apartment is our home
    In Fairhome Towers
    I have to keep me company
    Two dogs, a cat, a parakeet
    Some plants and flowers
    I help my mother with the chores
    I wash, she dries, I do the floors
    We work together
    I shop and cook and sow a bit
    Though mum does too I must admit
    I do it better
    At night I work in a strange bar
    Impersonating every star
    I'm quite deceiving
    The customers come in with doubt
    And wonder what I'm all about
    But leave believing
    I do a very special show
    Where I am nude from head to toe
    After stripteasing
    Each night the men look so surprised
    I change my sex before their eyes
    Tell me if you can
    What makes a man a man

    At 3 o'clock or so I meet
    With friends to have a bite to eat
    And conversation
    We love to empty out our hearts
    With every subject from the arts
    To liberation
    We love to pull apart someone
    And spread some gossip just for fun
    Or start a rumour
    We let our hair down, so to speak
    And mock ourselves with tongue-in-cheek
    And inside humour
    So many times we have to pay
    For having fun and being gay
    It's not amusing
    There's always those that spoil our games
    By finding fault and calling names
    Always accusing
    They draw attention to themselves
    At the expense of someone else
    It's so confusing
    Yet they make fun of how I talk
    And imitate the way I walk
    Tell me if you can
    What makes a man a man

    My masquerade comes to an end
    And I go home to bed again
    Alone and friendless
    I close my eyes, I think of him
    I fantasise what might have been
    My dreams are endless
    We love each other but it seems
    The love is only in my dreams
    It's so one sided
    But in this life I must confess
    The search for love and hapiness
    Is unrequited
    I ask myself what I have got
    Of what I am and what I'm not
    What have I given
    The answers come from those who make
    The rules that some of us must break
    Just to keep living
    I know my life is not a crime
    I'm just a victim of my time
    I stand defenceless
    Nobody has the right to be
    The judge of what is right for me
    Tell me if you can
    What make a man a man

    Tell me if you can
    Tell me if you can
    Tell me if you can
    What makes a man a man

    After Hours
    Composer(s): Lou Reed
    First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1969
    Covered by multiple other artists



    One, two, three
    If you close the door
    The night could last forever
    Leave the sunshine out
    And say hello to never

    All the people are dancing
    And they’re having such fun
    I wish it could happen to me

    But if you close the door
    I’d never have to see the day again

    If you close the door
    The night could last forever
    Leave the wine-glass out
    And drink a toast to never

    Oh, someday I know
    Someone will look into my eyes
    And say hello
    You’re my very special one

    But if you close the door
    I’d never have to see the day again

    Dark party bars, shiny cadillac cars
    And the people on subways and trains
    Looking gray in the rain, as they stand disarrayed
    Oh, but people look well in the dark

    And if you close the door
    The night could last forever
    Leave the sunshine out
    And say hello to never

    All the people are dancing
    And they’re having such fun
    I wish it could happen to me

    'Cause if you close the door
    I’d never have to see the day again
    I’d never have to see the day again, once more
    I’d never have to see the day again

    What Kind Of People Are They?
    Composer(s): John Entwistle
    Performer(s): John Entwistle



    When you're hungry and your stomach's feeling thin
    You find the nearest restaurant and walk right in
    Says the waiter with a sigh
    You're not dressed without a tie
    And you bite your lips to keep the swear words in

    What kind of people are they?
    What kind of people are they?
    They've only got their jobs to do
    That's why they've got it in for you -- you

    Have you ever sat behind a traffic jam
    When you'd get there quicker if you walked or ran
    When you finally get out
    At the front of it no doubt
    You'll find a policeman causing chaos with his hand

    What kind of people are they?
    What kind of people are they?
    They've only got their jobs to do
    That's why they've got it in for you -- you

    When you park your car in some deserted street
    Give the parking meter sixpences to eat
    When the money's been digested
    You'll find that you just invested
    In the profits of a traffic warden's beat
