Finns ingenting som kallas krav och inga löften till varann Om jag ber dig stanna kvar är det bara nå't jag sa
Om några timmar ska du gå en kväll blir allt vi nå'nsin får
Men om vi får en enda morgon, älskling En enda morgon med varandra, älskling Men om vi får en enda morgon, älskling
Förlåt mig, ja, jag vet hur det ska gå
När gryningsljuset lyser in då vill jag vakna i din famn Och mjukt och stilla blir du min jag känner värmen av din hand
Om någon säger - Du gör fel Jag svarar - Ja, jag vet så väl
Men om vi får en enda morgon, älskling En enda morgon med varandra, älskling Men om vi får en enda morgon, älskling
Bind, bär mig, stanna kvar Gömmer det som vi har inom mig Varje tår När du går Alla år Älskling
Men om vi får en enda morgon, älskling En enda morgon med varandra, älskling Men om vi får en enda morgon, älskling
En enda morgon med varandra, älskling Men om vi får en enda morgon, älskling En enda morgon med varandra

Angel Of Eight Avenue Composer(s): Ian Hunter Performer(s): Mott The Hoople
The willow in the wind is gently weeping No city lights tonight for she is sleeping But in a little while she will awake and gently smile My angel of eighth avenue, Manhattan morning
Somewhere a siren sounds and she is turning She moves my arm around 'cause she is burning She has so much to give but so little time to live My angel of eighth avenue, Manhattan morning
As I look down the streets are slowly forming And the ladies of the night have start performing And the trash-collectors horn salutes the dawning And soon the workward bound will they wake up yawning And soft warm hands behind that give no warning Tell me, for just one hour have I been learning
I have so much to say but so little time to stay With my angel of eighth avenue, Manhattan morning With my angel of eighth avenue, Manhattan morning
Darling Nikki Composer(s): Prince Originally performed by:Prince & the Revolution Covered by various other artists
I knew a girl named Nikki
I guess U could say she was a sex friend I met her in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine She said, How'd U like 2 waste some time? And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind
She took me 2 her castle and I just couldn't believe my eyes She had so many devices, everything that money could buy She said, Sign your name on the dotted line? The lights went out and Nikki started 2 grind
Ow, Nikki!
The castle started spinning or maybe it was my brain I can't tell U what she did 2 me, but me body will never be the same Her lovin' will kick your behind, oh, she'll show U no mercy But she'll sho'nuff, sho'nuff show U how 2 grind
Darlin' Nikki, oh!
I woke up the next morning, Nikki wasn't there I looked all over, all I found was a phone number on the stairs It said, Thank U 4 a funky time Call me up whenever U wanna grind?
Yeah, Nikki, oh! Oh, come back Nikki, come back! Your dirty little Prince wanna grind, grind, grind, ...!
Angel In Her Face Composer(s): Don Reid Performer(s): The Statler Brothers
I miss the way she always knew when things were on my mind I miss the way she'd always cling to every word of mine I miss the way that only she could put me in my place But most of all, I miss that look of angel in her face
I miss the comfort of her kiss, the sounds of love we shared I miss the touch of her warm hand that spoke 1000 words I miss the soul her love could give to things so commonplace But most of all, I miss that look of angel in her face
She was soft & lonely when she first came to me But I took her heart and only gave her misery
I miss the cling she always had with eyes that worshipped me I miss the soul that I could feel, the warmth that I could see And as she lies beside me now, I know I can't erase The fact that I'm the one who took the angel from her face
Darling Nellie Gray Composer(s): Benjamin Russell Hanby Performer(s): Eddy Arnold and various other artists
There's a low green valley On the old Kentucky shore There I've whiled many happy hours away A sittin' and a singin' By the little cottage door Where lived my darling Nellie Gray
Oh! My poor Nellie Gray They have taken you away And I'll never see my darling any more I'm a sittin' by the river And I'm weepin' all the day For you've gone from the Old Kentucky shore
One night I went to see her But "she's gone," the neighbors say The white man bound her with his chain They have taken her to Georgia For to wear her life away As she toils in the cotton and the cane
Oh! My poor Nellie Gray They have taken you away And I'll never see my darling any more I'm a sittin' by the river And I'm weepin' all the day For you've gone from the Old Kentucky shore
Angel In Disguise Composer(s): Paul Mann - Stefan Weiss - Kim Gannon Performer(s): Ann Sheridan
Your just an angel in disguise Who wandered down from up above Your just a heavenly surprise Who came to earth for me to love
This introduction to an angel Is more than thrilling, it leaves me shy But in as much as you're an angel I'm more than willing to teach my timid heart to fly
I simply don't know what to do I'm not accustomed to these things Perhaps the smartest thing to do Is take the scissors to your wings
Then I'll be sure your mine forever That you can never return above I'll have an angel in disguise, Forever in my arms to love
This introduction to an angel Is more than thrilling, it leaves me shy But in as much as you're an angel I'm more than willing to teach my timid heart to fly
Angel In Blue Composer(s): Seth Justman Performer(s): The J. Geils Band
We met in a bar Out on Chesapeake Bay With her white patent boots And her blouse red lame A table top dancer She would smile on cue Those lips of an angel Angel in blue She's been dancing for ages Though cities of bars She was kickin' the habit of scoring in cars She'd been drained of her spirit All caged in this zoo A wildcat angel Angel in blue And as she stared out into nowhere I thought, yes, I thought she might break down and cry When I whispered I thought I could love her She just said "Baby, don't even bother to try" And I watched as she spoke Her words chilled my bones All her friends did her favors That were really just loans And she never had dreams So they never came true The palest of angels Angel in blue And the bees they had stung her The birds they had flown There were guys she could number But none she had known And she never had dreams So they never came true My fade away angel Angel in blue
Darling Be Home Soon Composer(s): Steve Boone; John Sebastian Originally performed by: The Lovin' Spoonful Covered by various other artists
Come and talk of all the things we did today Here and laugh about our funny little ways while we have a few minutes to breathe and I know that it's time you must leave
But darling be home soon I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled My darling be home soon It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled For the great relief of having you to talk to
And now, a quarter of my life is almost passed I think I've come to see myself at last and I see that the time spent confused was the time that I spent without you And I feel myself in bloom
So darling be home soon I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled My darling be home soon It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled For the great relief of having you to talk to
So darling... My darling be home soon I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled My darling be home soon It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled For the great relief of having you to talk to
Go and beat your crazy head against the sky try and see beyond the houses and your eyes It's ok to shoot the moon
Angel From Montgomery Composer(s): John Prine First release by: John Prine - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
I am an old woman Named after my mother My old man's another Child that's grown old If dreams were lightnin' And Thunder were desire This old house would've burned down A long time ago
Make me an angel That flies from Montgomery Make me a poster Of an old rodeo Just give me one thing That I can hold onto To believe in this livin' Is such a hard way to go
When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy Weren't much to look at Just a free ramblin' man But that was a long time And no matter how I try The years just flow by Like a broken down dam
Make me an angel That flies from Montgomery Make me a poster Of an old rodeo Just give me one thing That I can hold onto To believe in this livin' Is such a hard way to go
There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em in there buzzin' And I ain't done nothin' Since I woke up today How the hell can a person Go to work in the mornin' And come home in the evenin' And have nothin' to say
Make me an angel That flies from Montgomery Make me a poster Of an old rodeo Just give me one thing That I can hold onto To believe in this livin' Is such a hard way to go
Darlin' Cora Composer(s): Fred Brooks Performer(s): Harry Belafonte
Wake up, wake up Darlin' Cora Wanna see you one more time The sheriff and his hound dogs a coming I gotta move on down the line
I don't know why darlin' Cora Don't know what the reason can be But I never had found a single town Where me and my boss-man agree
I ain't a man to be played with I ain't nobody's toy Been working for my pay for a long, long time How come he still calls me boy
Well I'd rather drink muddy water And sleep in a hollowed out log Than to hang around in this old town And be treated like a dirty dog
Well I whopped that man darlin' Cora And he fell down where he stood Don't know if I was wrong darlin' Cora But Lord it sure felt good
If it wasn't so dark darlin' Cora You'd see tears trickling down my face It breaks my heart darlin' Cora But I got to leave this place Wake up, wake up darlin' Cora

If you had not have fallen I would not have found you Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground And I patched up your broken wings And hung around a while Trying to keep your spirits up And your fever down Knew someday that you would fly away For loves the greatest healer to be found So leave me if you need to I will still remember Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground So fly on Fly on Past the speed of sound I'd rather see you up then to see you down So leave me if you need to I'll still remember Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground Leave me if you need to I'll still remember Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground
