All I Really Need Is You Composer(s): Neil Diamond - Tom Hensley - Alan Lindgren Performer(s): Neil Diamond
After all these years After all these tears between us Still I couldn't find Someone half as right as you And each time I stop to think What it is I really need Here's what I conclude All I really need is you
Just say what you want to say You don't have a chance in the world Can I, knowing how I've tried Still come close to losing you, girl When you are my world Have I spent so many years Trying but in vain to tell you Don't you know it's true All I really need is you
How was I to know We'd have ended here Where we finally did You tied you life to mine Once upon a starry night And when someone asks of me What it is that I believe Say, I believe it's true All I really need is you
Just say what you want to say We don't have a chance in the world Can I, knowin' how I've tried Still come close to losing you, girl When you are my world
Have I spent so many years Tryin' but in vain to tell you Feelings come and go Me, I'm never gonna ever let you go Promise you I'm gonna always love you so 'Cause all I really need is you
Whoever Finds This, I Love You Composer(s): Mac Davis Performer(s): Mac Davis; Anthony Armstrong Jones; Patti Page
On the quiet street in the city A little old man walked alone Shuffling through the autumn afternoon And the autumn leaves reminded him Another summer's come and gone He had long lonely nights ahead waiting for June
Then among the leaves near an orphan's home A piece of paper caught his eyes And he stooped to pick it up with trembling hands As he read the childish writing The old man began to cry 'Cause the words burned inside him like a brand
"Whoever finds this, I love you Whoever finds this, I need you I ain't even got no one to talk to So, whoever finds this, I love you!"
Well, the old man's eyes searched the orphan's home And came to rest upon a child With her nose pressed up against the window pane And the old man knew he'd found a friend at last So he waved at her and smiled And they both knew they'd spend the winter Laughing at the rain
And they did spend the winter laughing at the rain Talking through the fence Exchanging little gifts they've made for each other The old man would carve toys And the little girl would draw pictures of beautiful ladies for him And they laughed a lot
But then one day on the first of June The little girl ran to the fence... the old man wasn't there And, somehow she knew he was never coming back So she went back to her little room took a crayon, And wrote
"Whoever finds this, I love you Whoever finds this, I need you I ain't even got no one to talk to So, whoever finds this, I love you!
All I Needed Was The Rain From the film "Stay Away, Joe" (1968) Composer(s): Ben Weisman - Sid Wayne Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Jennie Duff
Hello misfortune How's my old friend Mister Misery? I've been away so long I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me Got no bed, to rest my head No doors or walls or window pane Now all I needed was the rain Rain, rain, rain, rain
Met a little honey at the "Buzzin' Bumble Bee Cafe" Yes I did One drink and all my money And that honey bee had flown away I'm 'bout as low, as I can go I don't really mean to complain Now all I needed was the rain Rain, rain...rain..rain
All I needed was this rain... All I needed was the rain...um..um.....

All I Need To Know Composer(s): Lou Gramm - Mick Jones Performer(s): Foreigner
So I walk another mile down this crooked road Clouds rolling in lord its getting cold Feeling fine, feel lost, feeling blue tonight But my only friend is mr. moonlight Then I see you girl lost in your book of poems Youre in another world, I should leave you alone My heart races on I try and hold it back But like a runaway train Im about to jump the tracks
Now you say you need a friend I swear to you if thats what you need Thats what Ill be But I hope this never ends I feel theres something more the way You look at me
And thats all I need to know I wont question why dont need a reason We can take our time we can take it real slow When I see it in your eyes Thats all I need to know
Now were talking bout angels that have lost their wings This melancholy world and the nature of things But them theres only silence when your eyes meet mine Sends a shiver to my soul runs deeper than time
Reciting from your black book you were like some wounded bird I tried to catch your heart as it fell between your words You tore out one page and let it blow away Then you disappeared into your world Its a place I just cant stay
You say you need a friend I swear to you if thats what you need Thats what Ill be But I hope this never ends I feel theres something more the way You look at me
And thats all I need to know I wont question why dont need a reason We can take our time we can take it real slow When I see it in your eyes Thats all I need to know
All I need to know I wont question why dont need a reason We can take our time we can take it real slow But its right here in my heart Thats all I need to know
Thats all I need to know I wont question why dont need a reason We can take our time we can take it real slow When I see it in your eyes Thats all I need to know
All I need to know I wont question why dont need a reason We can take our time we can take it real slow But its right here in my heart Thats all I need to know
Thats all I need to know Thats all I need to know Thats all I need to know All I need to know
Whoa, Sailor Composer(s): Hank Thompson; Walt McCoy Performer(s): Hank Thompson; - 1949 The Maddox Brothers & Rose
I'll tell you 'bout my night on shore if you will lend an ear I stepped into a cabaret to get myself a beer A pretty girl sat all alone and needed company But when I got close, this girl arose, this is what she said to me Now she said, "Whoa, sailor, be careful what you do In your eye there's a gleam and to me it seems your just like all the rest With a wolfish eye and a line that's sly, then a sailor's at his best"
Now look here, babe, you've got me wrong, I'm not that kinda guy Why, I just got back from across the seas where there are no girls arie Now let me talk to you a while, I'm sure you'll see my way But when I went to spout she turned about, this is what she had to say Now she said, "Whoa, sailor, I've heard that line before You'll look into my eyes and tell me lies and tales of the seven seas But a sailor's full of that kinda bull, so don't hand it to me"
Oh, pretty girl you've let me down you've broken my poor heart And oh, how it hurt when you had to spout that last sad remark I said I think I'll have a drink and I broke out six month's pay With wide open eyes she breathed a sigh, this time she had to say Now she said, "Whoa, sailor, I think you've won my heart" Well, she was right neat and she sure was sweet, but I knew she was that sort But she's not all to blame 'cause it's a sailor's aim to have a girl in every port
Who Wouldn't Love You Composer(s): Carl Fischer; Bill Carey Performer(s): Faron Young; and various other artists
(Love you love you love you love you do do do do)
Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't care You're so enchanting people must stare You're the dream that dreamers want to dream about You're the breath of spring that lovers gad about or mad about Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't buy The west side of heaven if you winked your eye You're the answer to my every prayer darling Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't care
(You're the dream that dreamers want to dream about You're the breath of spring that lovers gad about or mad about)
(You're the answer to my every prayer darling Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't care)
Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't care... Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't care
All I Need Is Time Composer(s): Bud Reneau Performer(s): Gladys Knight & the Pips and multiple other artists
All I need is time, then I'll get over you A little at a time, a bit each day All I need is time to mend a dream or two Then I'll forget the love you took away
Morning's here again, just like the day before But the only change is that I love you more All I need is time, maybe a thousand years Maybe a million tears, but I need time
Everybody says the pain won't last too long Have a lot of fun and time will fly It took a lot of time till love was born in me And it'll take some time for love to die
Each and every day I spend forgetting you Brings another night I never quite get through All I need is time, maybe a thousand years Maybe a million tears, but I need time
Who Would True Valour See Composer(s): John Bunyan Performer(s): Maddy Prior
Who would true valour see Let him come hither One here will constant be Come wind, come weather There's no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim
Whoso beset him 'round With dismal stories Who but themselves confound His strength the more is No lion can him fright He'll with a giant fight But he will have a right to be a pilgrim.
Hobgoblin nor foul fiend Can daunt his spirit He knows he at the end Shall life inherit Then fancies flee away He'll fear not what men say He'll labour night and day to be a pilgrim
Who would true valour see Let him come hither One here will constant be Come wind, come weather There's no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim
All I Need Is The Girl Composer(s): Jule Styne - Stephen Sondheim Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists
Got my tweed pressed, got my best vest, all I need now is the girl Got my striped tie, got my hopes high Got the time and the place and I got the rhythm Now all I need's the girl to go with'em
If she'll just appear we'll take this big town for a whirl And if she'll say "My, darling, I'm yours" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed All I really need is the girl
Got my tweed pressed, I got my best vest, all I need now is the girl Got my striped tie, got my hopes way up high I got the time and the place and the rhythm All I need's the girl to go with'em
Mm, if she'll just appear we'll take this, this great big town for a whirl And if, if she'll say "My, darlin', I'm yours" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed All I real, really need is the girl
All I Need Composer(s): R. Dean Taylor Performer(s): The Temptations
(Won't you believe, my darlin'?) Oh this heart of mine carries a heavy load When I think about how I've hurt you so After you've been, been so good to me I've been unfaithful, darlin', I've caused you misery I feel the guilt, how it tortures me And only you, my darlin', oh can set me free
And darlin', all, all I need is just to hear you say You'll forgive me, forgive me baby All, all I need, to have you touch my hand Say you'll understand
A moment of weakness, darlin', caused me to stray Your trust in me, dear, I threw away When I look, look into your eyes I can see the hurt, baby, that you feel inside Although I hurt you, baby, you never once complained It makes me feel that much more ashamed Tears of guilt, tears of guilt run down my face Tears that only you, baby, only you can erase
And darlin', all, all I need is just to hear you say You'll forgive me, forgive me baby All, all I need, to have you touch my hand Say you'll understand
(Won't you believe, my darlin'?) I know I made a big mistake When all your love, darlin', yes I did forsake It's on my mind, it's in my heart I get the feelin' tearin' me apart Every step I make, every breath I take I'll make it up to you, I'll make it up to you Undo the wrong I've done, undo the wrong I've done I've been unfaithful, I know it's true But I'll make it up to you
And darlin', all, all I need is just to hear you say You'll forgive me, forgive me baby All, all I need, to have you touch my hand Say you'll understand ...
Who Will Buy The Wine? Composer(s): Billy Mize Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; and various other artists
Not long ago you held our babys bottle But the one youre holding nows a different kind You just sit and wait to be somebodys baby And it all depends on Who Will Buy The Wine
Who ever sets them up and tips the waitress Will be the one to share the love thats mine Youd never know whose lips youd soon be kissing And it all depends on Who Will Buy The Wine
The kind of life your living since you left me Im sure its not the life you thought you chose That Honky Tonky world is not so flashy Bright lights and booze is all it really knows
Who ever sets them up and tips the waitress Will be the one to share the love thats mine Youd never know whose lips youd soon be kissing And it all depends on Who Will Buy The Wine
All I Need Composer(s): G. Ballard - C. Magness - D. Pack Performer(s): Jack Wagner
Kissing you is not what I had planned And now I'm not so sure just where I stand I wasn't looking for true love But now you're looking at me You're the only one I can think of You're the only one I see
All I need Is just a little more time To be sure what I feel Is it all in my mind 'Cause it seems so hard to believe That you're all I need
Yes it's true we've all been hurt before But it doesn't seem to matter anymore It may be a chance we're taking But it always comes to this If this isn't love we're making Then I don't know what it is
All I need Is just a little more time To be sure what I feel Is it all in my mind 'Cause it seems so hard to believe
All I need Is just a little more time To be sure what I feel Is it all in my mind 'Cause it seems so hard to believe That you're all I need
No stars are out tonight But we're shining our own light And it's never felt so bright 'Cause girl the way I'm feeling It's easy to believe That you're all I need
All I Left Behind Composer(s): Emmylou Harris - Kate McGarrigle - Anna McGarrigle Performer(s): Emmylou Harris; Francesca
All I left behind should come as no surprise To me since I fell through the black hole of your eyes Only little things inconsequential I could say Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
Silver earrings in Wichita Beaded moccasions in Tonopah But I had you so I just let them go
The flannel shirt I wore to keep me from the cold When we drove from Boston all the way to Buffalo The leather boots I bought so many miles ago I took them off to follow you into the Ohio
Never did my armor feel so thin Silk was all I had between me and your skin Like Waterloo I lost that too
And the golden bracelet with my father's name inscribed On the back by the one who loved him all her life The way I too Could have loved you
The Spanish shawl I put across the broken shade Of the lamp that lit the room That last night near Coeur d'Alene Only little things inconsequential I could say Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway Of all I left behind
Who Was It? Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan; Hurricane Smith
Who was it that caught you falling And put you back on your feet Who was it that tripped you any way (In order that the two of us would meet) It was me and I'll tell you why Oh! I did it because of my Pure unabashed devotion to loving you Who was it that tried to kiss you Despite a very definite no And who was it that managed to succeed (In getting it with your fist down below) It was me and I'll tell you why Oh! I did it because of my Pure unabashed devotion to loving You and me both feel the same We even look alike And like it's a blooming shame That because we do People think we're you Know what I mean Who was it that came to see you When there was no-one else in sight And who was it that stayed over an hour (And not as I'd expected over night) It was me and I'll tell you why Oh! I did it because of my Pure unabashed devotion to loving Pure unabashed devotion to loving You, you, you, you Who was it that caught you falling
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Frank Sinatra & Celeste Holms; and various other artists
Who wants to be a millionaire? I don't Have flashy flunkeys everywhere? I don't Who wants the bother of a country estate? A country estate is something I'd hate! Who wants to wallow in champagne? I don't Who wants a supersonic plane? I don't Who wants a marble swimming pool too? I don't And I don't, `cause all I want is you
Who wants to be a millionaire? I don't Who wants uranium to spare? I don't Who wants to journey on a gigantic yacht? Do I want a yacht? Oh, how I do not! Who wants a fancy foreign car? I don't Who wants to tire of caviar? I don't Who wants a private landing field too? I don't And I don't, `cause all I want is you
All I Know Is The Way I Feel Composer(s): Estelle Levitt - Jerry Ragovoy Performer(s): Irma Thomas; The Pointer Sisters; Howard Tate
All I know is the way I feel anything that makes me feel so good just got to be I can' help myself, it's the way I feel it's scarin' me to death to think what you could do to me You're the one that I've been searching for you were so hard to find when you're near I need nothing more you're so deep inside my heart my soul and my mind Lost in space is the way I feel you got me sailin' way beyond my wildest dreams when we're lyin' here soft and warm all the world is turnin' slow nothin' ever came so easy wonder just how far, how long and where it will go All I know is the way I feel nothin' in my life ever was so real I know I said it a million times and it always will be true all I know is the way I feel all I need to do is to keep on lovin' you all I know is the way I feel you got me goin' round in circles like a spinning wheel I can't help myself, it's got to be it's scarin' me to death to think what you could do to me All I know is the way I feel nothin' in my life ever was so real
