The First Time Composer(s): Chris Andrews Performer(s): Adam Faith
Every time that we meet (Ooh-ooh-aah) She looks my way (Ooh-ooh-aah) Then she's off down the street (Ooh-ooh) But I want her to stay
(Is it love) I don't know (That you feel) I don't know (Is it love) I don't know (Is it real) I don't know-woh-woh 'Cause it's the first time I've felt this way
Her eyes are so blue (Ooh-ooh-aah) And oh how they shine (Ooh-ooh-aah) What can I do (Ooh-ooh) To make this girl mine
(Is it love) I don't know (That you feel) I don't know (Is it love) I don't know (Is it real) I don't know-woh-woh 'Cause it's the first time I've felt this way
In all my dreams This girl appears And says sweet words to me If dreams come true Like some folks' do Then what will the answer be
But when will I know (Ooh-ooh-aah) How long must I wait (Ooh-ooh-aah) When will it show (Ooh-ooh) What is my fate
(Is it love) I don't know (That you feel) I don't know (Is it love) I don't know (Is it real) I don't know-woh-woh 'Cause it's the first time I've felt this way

Cats in the limelight, feels like it's alright Everybody wants something they might not get I ain' ready yet, it ain't complete That's why I am headin' down to Alleycat Street
Sa-tin blouse unbuttoning Sa-tin blouse unbuttoning Time is a stripper doin' it just for you Time is a stripper doin' it just for you

I must have been through about a million girls I'd love 'em then I'd leave 'em alone I didn't care how much they cried, no sir Their tears left me cold as a stone
But then I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love, yes I did I fooled around and fell in love, I fooled around and fell in love
It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked I'd get out my book and write down her name But when the grass got a little greener over on the other side I'd just tear out that page
I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love, since I met you baby I fooled around and fell in love, I fooled around and fell in love
Free, on my own is the way I used to be Ah, but since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me It's got a hold on me now, I can't let go of you baby
I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love, oh yes I did I fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fell in love Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fell in love I fooled around, fell in love I fell in love, I fell in love, yes I did
Cat's In The Cradle
Composer(s): Sandy Chapin - Harry Chapin
First release by: Harry Chapin - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say, "I'm gonna be like you, dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then"
My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today
I got a lot to do"
He said, "That's ok"
And he walked away, but his smile never dimmmed
Said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then"
Well, he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son, I'm proud of you
Can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head, and he said with a smile
"What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later
Can I have them please?"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when
But we'll get together then, dad
You know we'll have a good time then"
I've long since retired and my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time
You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kid's got the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when
But we'll get together then, dad
You know we'll have a good time then"
Fool, Fool, Fool Composer(s): Ahmet Ertegun Performer(s): The Clovers and multiple other artists
Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you Oh what a fool I was, to think you could love me too
Well, the first time that I saw you, you looked so doggone sweet When you walked down the street, I said 'There goes my meat' (Needless to say, Kay Starr's version didn't have this line)
Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you Oh what a fool I was, to think you could love me too
I can't forget you darlin', though I'm left out in the cold I guess I still love you, and will always feel the same
Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you Oh what a fool I was, to think you could love me too
The First Hello, The Last Goodbye Composer(s): Cardew Robinson - Roger Whittaker Performer(s): Roger Whittaker
They say when you gain a lover You begin to lose a friend That the end of the beginnings The beginning of the end They say the moment that youre born Is when you start to die And the first time that we said hello Began our last goodbye
We know each summers coming Means the winters waiting there And gold would not be precious If we all had gold to spare You only know how low is low The first time that you fly And the first time that we said hello Began our last goodbye
If I could live forever It is certain I would never know Another single second so sublime At the moment of our meeting When our hands first touched in greeting How I wanted to hold back the hands of time
When they begin the overture They start to end the show When you think Ill never need you Then I knew that you would go The sound of all our laughter Is now echoed in a sigh And the first time that we said hello Began our last goodbye
If I could live forever Its certain I would never know Another single second so sublime At the moment of our meeting When our hands first touched in greeting How I wanted to hold back the hands of time, oh yes
When they begin the overture They start to end the show When you think Ill never need you Then I knew that you would go The sound of all our laughter Is now echoed in a sigh And the first time that we said hello Began our last goodbye And the first time that we said hello Began our last goodbye

Don't want your love anymore Don't want your kisses that's for sure I die each time I hear this sound Here he comes, that's Cathy's clown

He's not a man at all Don't want your love anymore Don't want your kisses that's for sure I die each time I hear this sound
Here he comes, that's Cathy's clown When you see me shed a tear And you know that it's sincere Don't you think it's kind of sad
That you're treating me so bad Or don't you even care Don't want your love anymore Don't want your kisses that's for sure
I die each time I hear this sound Here he comes, that's Cathy's clown That's Cathy's clown.....

If you never met an angel then you must meet Cathy Cathy's everything you've dreamed an angel ought to be There's music everytime she sighs Her smile is every sweet surprise You simply won't believe your eyes wait and see
Chapel windows when they catch the morning sun that's Cathy How can merely touching someone's hand seem so divine You might as well prepare to fall in love with Cathy Or you'll lose your heart to Cathy just as I lost mine
You might as well prepare to fall in love with Cathy Or you'll lose your heart to Cathy just as I lost mine Yes you'll lose your heart to Cathy just as I lost mine

But we couldnt see eye to eye So, darling, darling, darling This is goodbye But I still care, but I still care And oh, fool that I am Oh, but I still care Fool that I am
