You Go Back To Your World (And I'll Go Back To Mine)
You Go Back To Your World (And I'll Go Back To Mine) Composer(s): Johnny Mosby Performer(s): Johnny & Jonie Mosby
I know we can't be satisfied with love we had to steal For a little while our passion made us blind Now if the shoe was on the other foot, I know just how we'd feel So you go back to your world and I'll go back to mine
You go back to your world and I'll go back to mine We'll both leave the darkness where unfaithfulness must hide They love us so and we both know we're not the cheating kind So you go back to your world and I'll go back to mine
(Instrumental Break)
The taste of tears on your cheek tell me this is goodbye To seek of love would be a waste of time Now you don't wanna hurt the one who patiently stands by So you go back to your world and I'll go back to mine
You go back to your world and I'll go back to mine We'll both leave the darkness where unfaithfulness must hide They love us so and we both know we're not the cheating kind So you go back to your world and I'll go back to mine
The Ballad Of Josie Composer(s): Floyd Huddleston - Don Costa Performer(s): Ron Dante
The ballad of Josie A story to remember A pretty girl, a sturdy girl Made of solid timber She set her sights and fought her fights And justice was her aim And Rebel County has never been the same
She didn't wear no fancy clothes And worked like any man She found a lot of danger And still she never ran
Josie had some high ideals And never did she lose 'm And she also had some rough words In case she had to use 'm The ballad of Josie A story to remember A pretty girl, a sturdy girl Made of solid timber She set her sights and fought her fights And justice was her aim And Rebel County has never been the same
The ballad of Josie A story to remember The ballad of Josie
You Give Me Those Feelings Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul Performer(s): Lynsey De Paul
I gave my heart I don't know why You never do the things like the other guys You don't buy me flowers You don't call me up But you give me something I need a lot
You give me those feelings You give me those feelings The kind that money can't buy They kind of leave but not quite Feelings and when you get feelings Who could need anything more
I don't know why But I love you so However hard I try well they still don't go With you sloppy kisses and your funny chin You really don't know the state I'm in
You give me those feelings You give me those feelings The kind that make your handshake Just like a tiny earthquake Feelings and when you get feelings who could need anything more
Aaah
Feelings, you give me those feelings The kind that money can't buy They kind of leave but not quite Feelings and when you get feelings Who could need anything more Isn't it what life is for
Summer Days And Summer Nights Performer(s): Danny Kirwan
Summer days and summer nights Far away from city lights And you, my love, without your sweet song In the world Drifting like a summer breeze (call my name along the way) And in the afternoon We'll walk and find the things to say But now's the time to say goodbye To the magic in your eyes To the magic in your eyes To the magic in your eyes Drifting like a summer breeze Sometimes you call my name along the way And in the afternoon We'll walk and find the things to say But now's the time to say goodbye To the magic in (your eyes) To the magic in your eyes To the magic in your eyes Drifting like a summer breeze Sometimes you call my name along the way And in the afternoon We'll walk and find the things to say But now's the time to say goodbye To the magic in your eyes To the magic in your eyes To the magic in your eyes To the magic in your eyes To the magic in your eyes
Summer Breeze Composer(s): Jimmy Seals - Dash Crofts First release by: Seals & Crofts - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
See the curtains hangin' in the window In the evening on a Friday night A little light-a-shinin' through the window Let's me know everything's all right
Summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
See the paper layin' on the sidewalk A little music from the house next door So I walk on up to the door step Through the screen and across the floor
Sweet days of summer - the jasmine's in bloom July dressed up and playing her tune And I come home from a hard day's work And you're waitin' there Not a care in the world
See the smile awaitin in the kitchen Food cookin' and the plates for two Feel the arms that reach out to hold me In the evening when the day is through

You Gave Me Love Composer(s): Claire Cloninger; Archie Jordan Performer(s): B.J. Thomas
You gave me time when no one gave me time of day You looked deep inside
while the rest of the world looked away You smiled at me when there were just frowns everywhere You gave me love when nobody gave me a prayer
Chorus: That's why I call You Saviour ..... that's why I call You Friend You touched my heart ..... You touched my soul And helped me start all over again That's why I love You, Jesus ..... that's why I'll always care You gave me love when nobody gave me a prayer
You gave me laughter after I cried all my tears You heard my dreams while the rest of the world closed it's ears I looked in Your eyes, and I found the tenderness there You gave me love when nobody gave me a prayer
Chorus: That's why I call You Saviour ..... that's why I call You Friend You touched my heart ..... You touched my soul And helped me start all over again That's why I love You, Jesus ..... that's why I'll always care You gave me love when nobody gave me a prayer
That Sly Old Gentleman From Featherbed Lane Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James V. Monaco Performer(s): Bing Crosby
That sly old gentleman, from Featherbed Lane He's watching you, he's peeking through your windowpane
He's sprinkled sand from the stars That glistens and gleams He'll sprinkle your eyes with dreams

You Gave Me A Mountain Composer(s): Marty Robbins Performer(s): Johnny Bush; and various other artists
Born in the heat of the desert My mother died givin' me life Deprived of the love of a father Blamed for the loss of his wife You know Lord I've been in a prison For something that I've never done It's been one hill after another And I've climbed them all one by one
Oh but this time Lord you gave me a mountain A mountain you know I may never climb It isn't just a hill any longer You gave me a mountain this time
My woman got tired of the heartaches Tired of the grief and the strife So tired of working for nothing Just tired of being my wife She took my one ray of sunshine She took my pride and my joy She took my reason for living She took my small baby boy
Yeah but this time Lord you gave me a mountain A mountain I may never climb It isn't a hill any longer You gave me a mountain this time Yeah Lord, You gave me a mountain Don't you know You gave me a mountain this time
Blame It On The Mistletoe Composer(s): Toby Keith Performer(s): Toby Keith; Eric Hancock
The middle of December ain't the time to be alone It's just too close to Christmas and too far to go home I ran into a friend of a friend, standing in the checkout line She said, "I've spent too much already and there's gifts I just can't find" I walked her home and when she opened up her door Oh, I'm not sure what happened then, guess magic took it's course
Blame it on the mistletoe, 'cause what happened here nobody knows How could something simple as a kiss change my holiday like this And we held each other all night long, and we fell asleep to a Christmas song Playin' on the radio, blame it on the mistletoe
I woke up, she was wrappin' gifts beneath the tree She said, I know it's early, so I thought I'd let you sleep Then she insisted I get up and take a look outside Hey sleepyhead, it must have snowed at least a foot last night That's when I saw it hangin' up above my head She threw her arms around my neck, laughin' as she said
Blame it on the mistletoe, 'cause what happened here nobody knows How could something simple as a kiss change my holiday like this And we held each other all night long and we fell asleep to a Christmas song Playin' on the radio, blame it on the mistletoe
Summer '68 Composer(s): Richard Wright Performer(s): Pink Floyd; Rosebud
Would you like to something before you leave? Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel We say goodbye before we've said hello I hardly even like you I shouldn't care at all We met just six hours ago The music was too loud From your bed I came today and lost a bloody year And I would like to know, how do you feel? How do you feel?
Not a single word was said They lied still without fears Occasionally you showed a smile, but what was the need? I felt the cold far too soon in a wind of ninetyfive My friends are lying in the sun, I wish I was there Tomorrow brings another town, another girl like you Have you time before you leave to greet another man Just to let me know, how do you feel? How do you feel?
Goodbye to you Childish bangles too I've had enough for one day
Summer (The First Time) Composer(s): Bobby Goldsboro First release by: Bobby Goldsboro - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
It was a hot afternoon Last day of June And the sun was a demon The clouds were afraid One-ten in the shade And the pavement was steaming I told Billy-Ray In his red Chevrolet I needed time for some thinking I was just walking by When I looked in her eye And I swore it was winking
She was 31 and I was 17 I knew nothing about love, she knew everything When I saw down beside her on the front porch swing And wondered what the coming night would bring
The sun closed her eyes As it climbed in the sky And it started to swelter The sweat trickled down the front of her gown And I thought it would melt her
She through back her hair Like I wasn't there And she sipped on a julep Her shoulders were bare And I tried not to stare When I looked at her lips
And when she looked at me I heard her softly say I know you're young You don't know what to do or say But stay with me until the sun has gone away And I will chase the boy in you away
And then she smiled and we talked for a while And we walked for a mile to the sea We sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand But I saw the sun rise as a man
Ten years have gone by Since I looked in her eye But the memory lingers I got back in my mind To the very first time And feel the touch of her fingers
It was a hot afternoon Last day of June And the sun was a demon The clouds were afraid One-ten in the shade And the pavement was steaming...
