Crying My Heart Out For You
Composer(s): John Henry Hopkins Jr.; J.C. Johnson
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald
and multiple other artists



All my dreams are over, now I’m wide awake
With a lonesome feeling and a constant ache
Livin’ with my memories just for old times sake
Crying my heart out for you

Hope you’ll be more tender in your next affair
Trust you’ll think of me dear, when you’ve time to spare
Praying you’ll be happy is my only prayer
Crying my heart out for you

Your heart may ache you, friends may forsake you
Sometimes it happens that way
But I’m still for you, always adore you
I love you, I love you what more can I say

I was just a scholar, made for you to teach
Searching for a true love, one I couldn’t reach
Now I’m just a pebble on a lonely beach
Crying my heart out for you

Three nights a week, you're gone
three nights a week, that's too long
You know you're doin me wrong

Although I knew you were gone

Three nights a week, you're gone

Crying In The Rain
Composer(s): David Coverdale
Performer(s): Whitesnake



A black cat moans
When he’s burning with the fever
A stray dog howls
When he’s lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy
With the though of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he’s sick and tired of life

I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I’m wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But, a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry

The sun is shining
But, it’s raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
’cos no one ever sees the tears
When you’re crying in the rain
When you’re crying in the rain
Crying in the rain...

I can never deny
All the sweet things I have tasted
Tho’ I’ve been mistreated
I keep coming back for more
I know where I’m going
There’s no hope of absolution
I can’t seem to separate
The good times from the bad

The sun is shining
But, it’s raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
’cos no one ever sees the tears
When you’re crying in the rain
When you’re crying in the rain
When you’re crying in the rain
When you’re crying in the rain

The sun is shining
But, it’s raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
’cos no one ever sees the tears
When you’re crying in the rain
When you’re crying in the rain
When you’re crying in the rain
When you’re crying in the rain

Crying in the rain...

Three Minute Hero
Composer(s): Neol Davies
Performer(s): The Selecter



They asked you if you’re alright
You say yes
But all the time you know
It’s a mess
It’s 5 pm and you’re on your way home
Just another day with that endless grey drone

Three minute hero
I wanna be, a three minute hero
I wanna be, a three minute hero
I wanna be, a three minute hero

Drag yourself along the road
Sit on the bus
Switch on your transistor
'Cause a fuss
It’s 11 pm and you’re on your way home
Just another night with that endless grey drone

Three minute hero
I wanna be, a three minute hero
I wanna be, a three minute hero
I wanna be, a three minute hero

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
A three minute hero

A three minute hero, I wanna be
A three minute hero, I wanna be
A three minute hero, I wanna be
A three minute hero

It’s too early in the morning
Stupid job
Don’t wanna eat, can’t think straight
Same as yesterday
It’s 7 am and you’re leaving home
Just another day with that endless grey drone

A three minute hero, I wanna be
A three minute hero, I wanna be
A three minute hero, I wanna be
A three minute hero...

Crying In The Rain
French Title: J'irai Pleurer Sous La Pluie - 1962
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Carole King
First release by: The Everly Brothers - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists



I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All the sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain

If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you
So though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Will never wash away my misery
But since we're not together
I'll wait for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain

(I Know) I'm Losing You
Composer(s): Cornelius Grant;
Brian Holland; Norman Whitfield
Performer(s): The Temptations;
and various other artists


Your love is fadin', I feel it fade
Ah, your love is fadin', I feel it fade
Ah, your love is fadin', woman I feel it fade
Ah, woman, woman your touch, your touch has gone cold
As if someone else controls your very soul
I've fooled myself long as I can
Can feel the presence of another man
It's there when you speak my name
It's just not the same
Ooo babe, I'm losing you
It's in the air
It's there everywhere
Baby, baby, babe, I'm losing you
When I look into your eyes
A reflection of a face, I see
I'm hurt, down-hearted and worried, girl
'Cause that face doesn't belong to me
It's all over your face
Someone's takin' my place
Ooo baby, I'm losing you
You try hard to hide
The emptiness you feel inside
Oo babe, I'm losing you
I can't bear the thought of losing you
Ah woman, can't you see what I'm goin' through
I'm losin' my mind (losin' my mind)
And it's all because of you
I can't bear the thought of losing you
I'm losin' my mind (losin' my mind)
And it's all because of you
I can't stand the thought of losing you

Covered by multiple other artists



Three Little Words, oh what I'd give for that wonderful phrase
To hear those Three Little Words 
That's all I'd live
For the rest of my days

And what I feel in my heart, they tell sincerely
No other words can tell it half so clearly
Three Little Words, eight little letters
Which simply mean "I Love You"!

J'irai Pleurer Sous La Pluie
Adapted from: Crying In The Rain - 1961
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Carole King; Richard Anthony
Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1962



Si je voulais pleurer
Bien loin de tes yeux j'irai me cacher
Car je suis fier et ne veux pas montrer
Le chagrin de ma vie
Et j'irai pleurer sous la pluie

Pour laisser mes larmes couler
J'attendrai l'orage et la pluie pour pleurer
Je t'aime encore et tu dois ignorer
Le chagrin de ma vie
Et j'irai pleurer sous la pluie

La pluie sur mon visage
N'effacera jamais ton souvenir
Et tu ne sauras jamais
Pourtant combien je t'aimais
Combien malgré toi tu me fais souffrir

Mais un jour je partirai
En souriant sous le soleil de mai
Mais en attendant ce jour qui ne vient pas
Je suis à ta merci
Et j'irai pleurer sous la pluie
Et j'irai pleurer sous la pluie
Et j'irai pleurer sous la pluie 

(I Know My Baby Loves Me)
In Her Own Peculiar Way
Composer(s): Riley Sheppard; Don Canton
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Chet Atkins; 
Leon McAuliffe; Red Murrell


Now I got a gal that’s different
I know I know she’s true
She’s never really happy
until she’s got me blue
But I Know My Baby Loves Me 
In Her Own Peculiar Way
Yes my baby really loves me in Her Own Peculiar Way

Now I loaned her my apartment 
When I was out of town
When I got back I found that she had burned the building down
But I Know My Baby Loves Me 
In Her Own Peculiar Way
Yes my baby really loves me in Her Own Peculiar Way

Ah how about your baby Billy?
(Instrumentals)
Boy do you even have a baby?
(Instrumentals)

Now she took a course in cooking 
It filled my heart with glee
Till I detected poison in a cake she baked for me
But I Know My Baby Loves Me 
In Her Own Peculiar Way
Yes my baby really loves me in Her Own Peculiar Way

Now she went down to the corner
To catch a picture show
She said “I’ll see you later” ...
But that was twenty years ago
But I Know My Baby Loves Me 
In Her Own Peculiar Way
Yes my baby really loves me in Her Own Peculiar Way

Three Little Sisters
Composer(s): Irving Taylor - Vic Mizzy
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters 
and multiple other artists



There were three little sisters
Three little sisters
Each one only in her teens
One loved a soldier, one loved a sailor
And one loved a lad from the Marines

Oh, the three little sisters
They were the fairest 
From Iceland to the Philippines
So said the soldier, so said the sailor
And so said the lad from the marines

And when the boys marched away
The girls said they'll be true 
Until the boys come back someday
Now the three little sisters
Three little sisters 
Stay home and read their magazines
You can tell it to the soldiers
Tell it to the sailors 
And tell it to the marines!

Crying In The Night
Composer(s): Stevie Nicks
Performer(s): Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham



She was that kind of lady
Times were hard
But she could come curling 'round you
Like fingers 

But she'll leave you
Crying in the night
She will leave you
Crying in the night
She's going to leave you
Crying in the night
She's back in town
And she's looking around 

Say you needed someone to depend on
You're all alone
She's the only one
Who can come take you far away
Take your breath away 

Come on baby
She's the wrong kind a' girl
She's a come-on lady
She's a tarnished pearl
She'll take your money
She'll wreck your world
Wreck your world
She's a come-on baby
Come-on girl
A "come-on" girl
Come on... girl
She's back
And she's looking around
And she's looking around
And she's looking around 

(I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea
Composer(s): Elvis Costello
Performer(s): Elvis Costello


Photographs of fancy tricks
to get your kicks at sixty-six
He thinks of all the lips that he licks
And all the girls that he's going to fix
She gave a little flirt, gave herself a little cuddle
But there's no place here for the mini-skirt waddle
Capital punishment, she's last year's model
They call her Natasha when she looks like Elsie
I don't want to go to Chelsea

Oh no it does not move me
Even though I've seen the movie
I don't want to check your pulse
I don't want nobody else
I don't want to go to Chelsea

Everybody's got new orders
Be a nice girl and kiss the warders
Now the teacher is away
All the kids begin to play

Men come screaming, dressed in white coats
Shake you very gently by the throat
One's named Gus, one's named Alfie
I don't want to go to Chelsea

Oh no it does not move me
Even though I've seen the movie
I don't want to check your pulse
I don't want nobody else
I don't want to go to Chelsea

Photographs of fancy tricks to get your kicks at sixty-six
He thinks of all the lips that he licks
And all the girls that he's going to fix
She gave a little flirt, gave herself a little cuddle

Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool
Were three little fishes and their mama fishy too
"Swim" said the mommy fishy, "Swim if you can"
And they swam and they swam all over the dam

Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
And they swam and they swam all over the dam

"Stop!" said the mama fishy, "You'll get lost!"
But the three little fishes didn't want to be bossed
So the three little fishes set off on a spree
And they swam and they swam right out to the sea

Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
And they swam and they swam right out to the sea

"Whee!" yelled the fishes, "Oh! here's a lot of fun"
"Swim in the sea till the day is done"
So they swam and they swam, it was all, a lark
Till all of a sudden they saw a shark

Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Till all of a sudden they saw a shark

"Whoa!" cried the fishes, "Oh! look at the whales"
Quick as they could they turned on their tails
Back to the pool in the meadow they swam
And they swam and they swam back over the dam

Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
And they swam and they swam back over the dam

You saw me crying in the chapel
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I am happy with the Lord

Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day

I've searched and I've searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth 
To gain peace of mind

Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
We gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord

Ev'ry sinner looks for something
That will put his heart at ease
There is only one true answer
He must get down on his knees

Meet your neighbor in the chapel
Join with him in tears of joy
You'll know the meaning of contentment
Then you'll be happy with the Lord

You'll search and you'll search
But you'll never find 
No way on earth 
To gain peace of mind

Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way

Vær ikke urolig mer

Du hast ja Tränen in den Augen
ich weiß, die gelten mir allein
Mir sagt das Lächeln deines Mundes
es müssen Freudentränen sein

Lange war ich in der Ferne
es war ein weiter Weg zu dir
Mir sagt das Schlagen deines Herzens
du gehörst noch heut zu mir

Und nahm - das Geschehn
dir manchmal den Mut
glaube daran, nun wird alles gut

Und die Tränen in den Augen
die will ich niemals wiedersehn,
denn das Lächeln deines Mundes,
ist ja tausendmal so schön

Und nahm - das Geschehn

glaube daran, nun wird alles gut

Und die Tränen in den Augen
die will ich niemals wiedersehn
denn das Lächeln deines Mundes
ist ja tausendmal so schön

Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you
Close the door to temptation
Dont let me walk through
Turn away from me, darling
I'm begging you to
Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you
I belong to another
Whose arms have grown cold
But I promised forever
To have and to hold
I can never be free, dear
But when I'm with you
I know that I'm losing
The will to be true
Please help me, I'm falling
And that would be sin
Close the door to temptation
Don't let me walk in
For I mustn't want you
But, darling, I do
Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you
