After We Make Love Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Michael Masser Performer(s): Whitney Houston
I've been waiting such a long time For a love that's real to come my way Gonna take some getting used to Now that love is here to stay
After we make love I'll be lost in the afterglow You're all I'm dreaming of I just can't l just can't let the feeling go After we make love There's no doubt in my mind I've been touched by All that heaven and earth will allow All that matters is right here and now
Now the world is filled with wonder You've turned my life around in just one day I love the spell you've put me under Just one kiss can take my breath away
After we make love Feels so good to be lost in the afterglow You're all I'm dreaming of I just can't l just can't let the feeling go After we make love There's no doubt in my mind I've been touched by All that heaven and earth will allow All that matters is right here and now
All those lonely days and nights Were well worth going through I'm so glad I never gave my heart away It's like I waited all my life So I could give it all to you
I've been waiting such a long time For a love that's real to come my way It's gonna take some getting used to Now that love is here to stay
After we make love Feels so good to be lost in the afterglow After we make love I just can't l just can't let the feeling go After we make love There's no doubt in my mind I've been touched by All that heaven and earth will allow All that matters is right here and now All that matters is right here and now
Whatever Happened To Saturday Night? (aka "Hot Patootie - Bless My Soul") Composer(s): Richard O'Brien Performer(s): Meat Loaf
Eddie: Whatever happened to Saturday night? When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright It don't seem the same since cosmic light Came into my life, I thought I was divine I used to go for a ride with a chick who'd go And listen to the music on the radio A saxophone was blowing on a Rock and Roll show We climbed in the back seat, really had a good time Hot patootie, bless my soul Really love that Rock and Roll
(Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll)
Eddie: My head used to swim from the perfume I smelled My hands kinda fumbled with her white plastic belt I'd taste her baby pink lipstick and that's when I'd melt She'd whisper in my ear tonight she really was mine Get back in front and put some hair oil on Buddy Holly was singing his very last song With your arms around your girl, you try to sing along It felt pretty good.....Whoo! Really had a good time Hot patootie, bless my soul Really love that Rock and Roll
(Hot patootie, bless my soul (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll)
(Hot patootie, bless my soul (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul (I really love that Rock and Roll) (Hot patootie, bless my soul) (I really love that Rock and Roll)

Whatever Happened To Randolph Scott Composer(s): Don Reid; Harold Reid Performer(s): The Statler Brothers
Everybody knows when you go to the show You can't take the kids along You've gotta read the paper And know the code of GPG and R and X And you gotta know what the movie's about Before you even go Tex Ritter's gone and Disney's dead And the screen is filled with sex
Whatever happened to Randolph Scott Ridin' the train alone Whatever happened to Gene and Tex And Roy and Rex, The Durango Kid Oh, whatever happened to Randolph Scott His horse plain as could be Whatever happened to Randolph Scott Has happened to the best of me
Everybody's tryin' to make a comment About our doubts and fears True Grit's the only movie I've really understood in years You gotta take your analyst along To see if it's fit to see Whatever happened to Randolph Scott Has happened to the industry
Whatever happened to Johnny Mack Brown And Alan Rocky Lane Whatever happened to Lash LaRue I'd love to see them again Whatever happened to Smiley Burnette Tim Holt and Gene Autry Whatever happened to all of these Has happened to the best of me Whatever happened to Randolph Scott Has happened to the industry
After This Love Composer(s): Sheppard Soloman - John Clifford - Larry Tag Performer(s): Cliff Richard
I don't tell the future, but I can't care 'Cause when I lay beside you, it's enough that you're there Enough that you're there Just laying on our backs and falling in love What about tomorrow? What about the next day? What about the day after, the day after that, baby? What about after this love's gone? Is there a better love coming on? Is there a place in your heart for me? Is there a chance that we can't see? After this love is gone
If love was money we're spending, like a millionaire There could come a time when love is no longer there It's no longer there If we both come to our senses will we still be in love? Tell me, what about tomorrow? What about the next day? What about the day after, the day after that, baby?
What about after this love's gone? Is there a better love coming on? Is there a place in your heart for me? Is there a chance that we can't see? After this love is gone
Everything else comes down eventually And nothing lasts forever Or does it just keep getting better?
If we both come to our senses will we still be in love? Tell me, what about tomorrow? What about the next day? What about the day after, the day after that?
What about after this love's gone? Is there a better love coming on? Is there a place in your heart for me? Is there a chance that we can't see?
What about after this love's gone? Is there a better love coming on? Is there a place in your heart for me? Is there a chance that we can't see? After this love is gone After it's gone When it's gone
Whatever Happened To Peace On Earth? Composer(s): Willie Nelson Performer(s): Willie Nelson
There's so many things going on in the world Babies dying, mothers crying How much oil is one human life worth And what ever happened to peace on earth
We believe everything that they tell us They're gonna kill us So we gotta kill them first But I remember a commandment Thou shall not kill How much is that soldiers life worth And whatever happened to peace on earth
And the bewildered herd is still believing Everything weve been told from our birth Hell they wont lie to me Not on my own damn TV But how much is a liar's word worth And whatever happened to peace on earth
So I guess its just Do unto others before they do it to you Lets just kill em all and let God sort em out Is this what God wants us to do
And the bewildered herd is still believing Everything weve been told from our birth Hell they wont lie to me Not on my own damn TV But how much is a liars word worth And whatever happened to peace on earth
Now you probably wont hear this on your radio Probably not on your local TV But if theres a time, and if youre ever so inclined You can always hear it from me How much is one pickers word worth And whatever happened to peace on earth
But dont confuse caring for weakness You cant put that label on me The truth is my weapon of mass protection And I believe truth sets you free
And the bewildered herd is still believing Everything weve been told from our birth Hell they wont lie to me Not on my own damn TV But how much is a liars word worth And whatever happened to peace on earth
After The Waltz Is Over Composer(s): Mel Tormé - Bobby "BW" Wells Performer(s): Mel Tormé & George Shearing
After the waltz is over After the music ends After I held you so close in my arms Well be much more than friends After the waltz is over All conversation dies What could our lips say That we havent said with our eyes
I could waltz through life with you
Well make wedding bells chime In three-quarter time
I dont care if the partys ending Or if the clocks striking one I never dreamed when we danced at the start One little waltz could go straight to my heart After the waltz is over Well find that love has begun
I dont care if the partys ending Or if the clocks striking one I never dreamed when we danced at the start One little waltz could go straight to my heart Give me a little house and Let me have you for my spouse and Once we cadenza by Strauss and Let me go waltzing through life
Whatever Happened To Old Fashioned Love? Composer(s): Lewis Anderson Performer(s): Daniel O'Donnell; B.J. Thomas
We live in the modern age Where love is fast like a turning page In a magazine, we've hardly seen The friends we used to know They disappear, they come and go Like the times we've had It's kind of sad
Whatever happened to old fashioned love The kind that would see you through The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love The kind that would last through the years Through the trials Through the smiles Through the tears
Today is all we've planned We say tomorrow we'll understand If it all should end We'd be alone again
Oh, whatever happened to old fashioned love The kind that would see you through The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love The kind that would last through the years Through the trials Through the smiles Through the tears
For now the tenderness Has been replaced With something less And it's hard to find What we left behind
Oh, whatever happened to old fashioned love The kind that would see you through The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love The kind that would last through the years Through the trials Through the smiles Through the tears
An echo fades of sounds once heard By thousands brought together for His ringing voice, a soul that stirred The faithful to a mighty roar
For twenty years upon the stage For twenty years upon the stage The passion deep within his soul Brought forth the anger and the rage His vision locked upon one goal
The promises of rock and roll could Break the chains upon his life Guitar in hand he vowed he would Be free from pain and inner strife
He shook the rafters in the halls And brought the faithful to their feet His river coursed through mighty walls Across this land, down every street
With flag unfurled he took the word Across the seas to hungry youth Who raised their hands when e'er they heard His cries for faith, and hope, and truth
Today he stands with inner peace A man content with home and health Upon his brow a jagged crease A symbol of success and wealth
The thunder of his younger days Has passed, and now his words reveal A calmer soul in many ways Fulfilled with satisfactions real
His arms upraised against the light He stands alone, his eyes look toward The ground below, a bird in flight Still searching for his true reward
His mission done, he finds retreat With children and a loving wife His body tired from the heat The price he pays for touring life
But deep within the longings stir The music runs within him still His passions for the times that were Are stronger than his iron will
And all of us who know the man Will come together when he cries The message we all understand The thunder in us never dies
Whatever Happened To Benny Santini? Composer(s): Chris Rea Performer(s): Chris Rea
They say his chances could not have been better All the promise of a July sun in the morning sky Laughing at the peering faces From the windows of a limousine Caviar with the A & R and still only in his teens So whatever happened?
I can see him now, his face lit up in neon One hand up in the air as he turns towards the crowd His songs of silver arrows they tried to roll into gold With diamond tips from painted lips Designed and ready to be sold
They say he could not fall of They say he could not fail The wealth and fame would fire his flame Just as soon as his ship set sail So whatever happened?
Whatever happened to Benny Santini? Whatever happened to the guy on the wall? Where did he go to if he could not fall of They tell you they don't know They don't know at all
After The Thrill Is Gone Composer(s): Glenn Frey - Don Henley First release by: Eagles - 1975
Same dances in the same old shoes Some habits that you just can't lose There's no telling what a man might lose After the thrill is gone
The flame rises but it soon descends Empty pages and a frozen pen You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends After the thrill is gone, oh, After the thrill is gone
What can you do when your dreams come true And it's not quite like you planned? What have you done to be losing the one You held it so tight in your hand well
Time passes and you must move on, Half the distance takes you twice as long So you keep on singing for the sake of the song After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone
You're afraid you might fall out of fashion And you're feeling cold and small Any kind of love without passion That ain't no kind of lovin' at all, well
Same dances in the same old shoes You get too careful with the steps you choose you don't care about winning but you don't want to lose After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone, oh After the thrill is gone

For awhile, to love was all we could do We were young and we knew In our eyes were alive Deep inside we knew our love was true For awhile, we paid no mind to the past We knew love would last Every night, something right Would invite us to begin the day

And, oh, after the love has gone How could you lead me on And not let me stay around? Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone What used to be right is wrong Can love thats lost be found?

Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone What used to be right is wrong Can love thats lost be found?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone What used to be right is wrong Can love thats lost be found?
