Fallin' In Love Composer(s): Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds Performer(s): Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds
Chorus Baby, baby, fallin' in love I'm fallin' in love again Baby, baby, fallin' in love I'm fallin' in love again
I could never see what fate had meant for me And then you came and made my dreams match reality Maybe you can see all the things you've meant to me And my simple fate is at the gate and, girl, you've got the key
Chorus
It seems like yesterday you and I first loved this way But now I know how love can grow with each and every day As we lay at midnight's hour and feel love's hidden power So strong and bold as life unfolds its mystery to me
Chorus
You and me for eternity in love will always be Young and free and that should be the way it's gotta be
That's Worth While Waiting For Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis - Joe Young - Harry Ruby
I know a boy who is crazy about a certain pet It's two years since they've met, and he hasn't got her yet This little girl that he's crazy about kind o' turned his head 'Cause when I asked him to describe her Here's what he said
Each night he begs for that one little kiss, he's wild about He'll get that kiss no doubt, if his patience don't wear out Day after day he keeps telling the boys, what a gal he has And when he's finished they all holler "Cut out that jazz"
"She's just the kind of a miss that's worth while waiting for She's got the kind of a kiss, that's worth while waiting for She's always bashful and shy, but when you whisper "good-bye" She puts that 'promising look' in her eye, that's worth while waiting for She's got that wonderful smile the smile that you adore She let's you squeeze her awhile, then makes you beg for more She's got the kind of petting, the kind that's worth while getting And what's worth getting is worth while waiting for

Fallen Angel Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Maurice Gibb; Robin Gibb Performer(s): The Bee Gees
Fool in the night on the stair With the light by the window Out in the jungle of life she was Yearning to go All of the years I've been there for the tears She will sell you Out in the city she search for the face That she knew
Did you believe that a love so alive Could be over
Fool is the father who clings to the Child he is losing Mother too weary to question The wisdom of youth There with your head in your hand As you pray to her picture Out in the rain she would search For somebody to hold
Did you believe you could find What you need with a stranger
(Chorus)
Did you believe that a love so alive Could be over
That's Why God Is Singing The Blues Composer(s): Ian Gillan Performer(s): Deep Purple
We took the p out of paradise just to produce this hell And all we're going to leave behind is this decaying putrid smell We've lived in this world seen her used and abused That's why god is singing the blues
They felled a great oak over there they filled a duck pond over here We've got a glass and concrete monster now that feeds and caters to our fears Maybe it's too late to spoil another view That's why god is singing the blues
Forgive us father for we know not what we do Blame it on each other and in the name of you Forgive us mother for the pain we caused we destroyed what's yours That's why papa's singing the blues
Polluted all the oceans pulped all the trees Plagued by chronic boredom we blew a hole in the atmosphere We tore out her heart left her battered and bruised That's why god is singing the blues
Forgive us father for we know not what we do Blame it on each other and in the name of you Forgive us mother for the pain we caused we destroyed what's yours That's why papa's singing the blues
You may believe in evolution you may believe in god's great creation The only thing we know for sure we got a man made situation We turned this whole world into a dying zoo That's why god is singing the blues
You better live on your feet than die on your knees I stole that from some graffiti lord have mercy please Living in this babylon keeps us confused That's why god is singing the blues
That's Why (I Love You So) Composer(s): Berry Gordy Jr. - Gwen Fuqua - Tyran Carlo Performer(s): Jackie Wilson and multiple other artists
(Ahh-ahh!) (Ahh-ahh!)
The way you make me feel like I belong The way you make me right when I am wrong The way you sacrifice just for me Just how lucky can a poor man be?
That is why... (That's why I love you so) That is why... (That's why I love you so) Don't you know, baby... (That's why I love you so)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want the world to know The way you rub my back when I'm in pain The way you soothe me so I won't complain And when you kiss me with your ruby red lips It thrills me so, I turn a back-over flip
That is why... (That's why I love you so) Don't you know, baby... (That's why I love you so) That is why... (That's why I love you so)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want the world to know If Shakespeare thought that Juliet Really loved Romeo from the time they met He would blow his top if he could see Just how you've been lovin' me
The way you rub my back when I'm in pain The way you soothe me so I won't complain And when you kiss me with your ruby red lips It thrills me so, I turn a back-over flip
That is why... (That's why I love you so) That is why... (That's why I love you so) C'mon now, baby... (That's why I love you so) Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to take it easy, baby... (That's why I love you so) Take it easy, honey... (That's why I love you so) Don't you know now... (That's why I love you so) Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want the... one more time, now... (That's why I love you so) C'mon, c'mon, baby... (That's why I love you so)...
