What A Life! (Trying To Live Without You)
Composer(s): Louis Alter - Charlotte Kent



What a life, to live alone
What is left when love has flown
What a life, trying to live without you

All the love that used to be
Sings a minor melody
What a life, trying to live without you

All the funny little things
We used to say and do
They weren't meant for one
They were meant for two

Just the same, the world goes on
I must live and know you're gone
What a life, trying to live without you

All the funny little things
We used to say and do
They weren't meant for one
They were meant for two

Just the same, the world goes on
I must live and know you're gone
What a life, trying to live without you

Without you, without you
I can't live without you

You Know What I Like
Composer(s): Billy Squier
Performer(s): Billy Squier



Somewhere in the distance---somewhere down the line
A trace of an illusion is etched upon my mind
A fool's infatuation poundin' in my brain
I fell into your face before I ever knew your name
You're no stranger--you know what I like...

You got me in a cross fire, drivin' in my car
You come on like a daydream, you move just like a star
Your lips are my persuasion, your love will be my cure
The path of least resistance is all I can endure
You're no stranger--you know what I like...

Miles of conversation...it's all between the lines
You're in the "A" rotation, you're with me all the time
Our love will go the distance--however near and far
In all of my confusion, I know just who you are
You're no stranger--you know what I like...

Call Me Claus
Composer(s): Garth Brooks - Lisa Sanderson - Jenny Yates
Performer(s): Garth Brooks



May not know by lookin' at me
Who you're looking at exactly
Wonder who could that be in your stockin'
Suit of red and cheeks of cherry
Lookin' extraordinary
Spare me 'cause
You scare with your gawkin'
Hold your applause
Pick up your jaws
Call me Claus, hoah

I got the spirit of the season in me
Spreadin' joy and toys a'plenty
Nimbly down your chimney I'll be bumpin'
Give me room 'cause I'm a packin'
Only time for toys and snackin'
Love to stay here yackin'
But I'm humpin'
I got a cause
No time to pause
They call me Claus

Hoah, call me Santa
Call me Kringle
Call me Old Saint Nick
All those have a beautiful ring
Pleasin' is the reason
And the season's a kick
When your Santa
Baby, you gotta swing
Swing, I dare ya, yeah

Hey, call me Santa
Call me Kringle
Call me Old Saint Nick
All those have a beautiful ring
Pleasin' is the reason
And the season's a kick
When you Santa
Baby, you gotta swing

So while in your jammies sleepin'
Roof to roof I'll be a leapin'
Quickly if your creepin' for a peepin'

The oohs and aahs
Are all because
They call me Claus

Hold your applause
Hey, watch the paws
They call me Claus

You Know Me
Composer(s): Jackie DeShannon
Performer(s): Jackie DeShannon



I'll go where the feeling takes me 
Although it could surely break me 
So long, so long without an ending 
To learn there's no pretending 

Chorus: 
You know me 
Following a shooting star 
You know me 
Someone with a restless heart 
You know me 
Wanting to be where you are 
Endlessly 
You know me 

These day behind the sun's illusion 
In games where some things must be proven 
It's time, it's time to trust the reason 
And say you're still believing 

(Chorus) 

Trade winds 
Somewhere from another distant place 
Fallen 
Promises that had to fade away 

(Chorus)

Summerday Sands
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



I once met a girl with the life in her hands
and we lay together on the summerday sands
I gave her my raincoat and told her, "Lady, be good!"
And we made truth together, where no one else would
I smiled through her fingers and ran the dust through her hands
the hour-glass of reason on the summerday sands

We sat as the sea caught fire
Waited as the flames grew higher in her eyes, in her eyes
We watched the eagle born
wings clipped, tail feathers shorn, but we saw him rise
we saw him rise over summerday sands

Came the ten o'clock curfew
She said, "I must start my car
I'm staying with someone I met last night in a bar"
I called from my wave top:"At least tell me your name!"
She smiled from her wheelspin and said, "It's all the same"
I thought for a minute, jumped back on dry land
left one set of footprints on the summerday sands
I once met a girl with the life in her hands
and we lied together on the summerday sands

Summer, Highland Falls
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
and multiple other artists



They say that these are not the best of times
But they're the only times I've ever known
And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own
Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes
And I can only stand apart and sympathize
For we are always what our situations hand us
It's either sadness or euphoria

And so we argue and we compromise
And realize that nothing's ever changed
For all our mutual experience, our separate conclusions are the same
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
Our reason co-exists with our insanity
And though we choose between reality and madness
It's either sadness or euphoria

How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies
And so we'll stand upon the ledges of our lives
With our respective similarities
It's either sadness or euphoria

You Keep Running Away
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; 
Brian Holland; Eddie Holland
Performer(s): The Four Tops; Chuck Jackson



You're here today and gone tomorrow 
Leave this heart of mine in sorrow 
Then you come around every now and then 
Long enough to hurt me then you're gone again 

Darlin you keep running away 
Well I begged you not to leave but you never stay 
Now you, you keep running away 
Leavin me here to face another lonely day 

To you all of this is just a game 
Well each time you leave I feel the pain 
But I've got so much love for you 
I keep wanting you no matter what you do 

All I want to do is take care of you 
Everything I have in my life 
I will share with you 
This soul of mine has been processed by you 

Darling my heart has been obsessed with you 
Just look at me, I'm not the man I used to be 
I used to be proud, I used to be strong 
But all of that's changed girl since you come along 

Your lovin sweetness is my weakness 
Boy I need you, dear
I just can't keep you near 
Each time you go the hurt comes callin'

My days become nights, darlin 
My nights become so much longer 
You're in my life, you're in my heart 
But I can't get you 
Get you into my arms 
Darlin, you keep runnin away ......

Cabin In The Valley
Composer(s): Kix Brooks - Kenny "Boudro" Gray
Performer(s): Brooks & Dunn



Today I climbed the hillside with the snowcapped evergreens
Stared down in the valley at a Christmas memory
Saw a young boy in a cabin hang a stockin' on a peg
Peace on Earth was ours down in the valley

Christmas dinner's cookin', the turkey's golden brown
There's a big old fire ablazin', all the family's gathered 'round
There was nothin' quite as pretty in the cities or the towns
As my cabin in the valley when the snow is on the ground

Mama still still plays carols on those worn out ivory keys
And Papa's hooked his old team up to fetch the Christmas tree
I watch my boy climb on a limb, shakin' loose the mistletoe
Just the way I did not so long ago

Christmas dinner's cookin', the turkey's golden brown
There's a big old fire ablazin', all the family's gathered 'round
Well, there's nothin' quite as pretty in the cities or the towns
As my cabin in the valley when the snow is on the ground

Christmas dinner's cookin', the turkey's golden brown
There's a big old fire ablazin', all the family's gathered 'round
Well, There's nothin' quite as pretty in the cities or the towns
As my cabin in the valley when the snow is on the ground

You Keep Me Hangin' On
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier;
Eddie Holland; Brian Holland
Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes;
and various other artists



Set me free, why don't you babe
Get out of my life, why don't you babe
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging' on
You don't really need me
But you keep me hanging' on

Why do you keep a coming around
Playing with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a new start?
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me

Set me free, why don't you babe
Let me be, why don't you babe
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging' on
Now you don't really want me
You just keep me hanging' on

You say although we broke up
You still want to be just friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
And there ain't nothing I can do about it

Woo, set me free, why don't you babe
Woo, get out my life, why don't you babe
Set me free, why don't you babe
Get out my life, why don't you babe

You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
Now that you've got your freedom
You want to still hold on to me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else
Hey!

Why don't you be a man about it
And set me free
Now you don't care a thing about me
You're just using me
Go on, get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging' on...

(Nancy):
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things

(Lee):
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said lets pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

(Nancy):
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohhh-oh summer wine

(Lee):
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

(Nancy):
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine

(Lee):
When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

(Nancy):
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine 

You Keep Coming Back Like A Song
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



Can't run away from you, dear
I've tried so hard but I fear
You'll always follow me near and far
Just when I think that I'm set
Just when I've learned to forget
I close my eyes, dear, and there you are

You keep coming back like a song
A song that keeps saying, remember

The sweet used-to-be
That was once you and me
Keeps coming back like an old melody

The perfume of roses in May
Returns to my room in December

From out of the past where forgotten things belong
You keep coming back like a song

(Elle:)
Le miel de l'amour qu'on boit jusqu'à se griser
C'est cela que l'on nomme le vin de l'été

(Lui:)
Je suis venu d'une autre ville, en étranger
Portant une bourse d'argent à mon gilet

(Elle:)
Le bel étranger sur ta route, moi je vais
Te faire goûter le vin de l'été
Oh oh de l'été
Le miel de l'amour qu'on boit jusqu'à se griser
C'est cela que l'on nomme le vin de l'été
Enlève ton gilet et ta bourse dorée
Et viens goûter le vin de l'été
Oh oh de l'été

(Lui:)
Mais le lendemain quand j'ai voulu me lever
Le sol roulait comme un bateau dessous mes pieds

(Elle:)
Tu as trop bu ou pas assez, reviens, je vais
Te redonner le vin de l'été
Oh oh de l'été

(Lui:)
Le miel de l'amour qu'on boit jusqu'à se griser
C'est cela que l'on nomme le vin de l'été

(Elle:)
Enlève ton gilet et ta bourse dorée
Et viens goûter le vin de l'été
Oh oh de l'été

(Lui:)
A mon réveil le soleil me brûlait les yeux
Le vin cognait comme un fou dans ma tête en feu

(Elle:)
Et moi j'étais partie et sa bourse dorée
Évanouie dans le vin de l'été
Oh oh de l'été

(Ensemble:)
Le miel de l'amour qu'on boit jusqu'à se griser
C'est cela que l'on nomme le vin de l'été

(Elle:)
Enlève ton gilet et ta bourse dorée...

You Just Can't Play A Sad Song On A Banjo
Composer(s): Paul Buskirk; Russell Jackson
Performer(s): Willie Nelson



Now we all know the violin plays sweetly 
And the steel guitar thrills all the world completely 
But for all around good fun there's really only one 
And it's round and firm and fully packed and puts the blues on the run 
And you just can't play a sad song on the banjo 
A banjo tune will have to make you smile 
And when you're feeling low and melancholy just pick up the ol' banjo by golly 
'Cause you just can't play a sad song on the banjo 

(guitar)

Now bad news just won't hang around the banjo 
Old dismal gloom will have to disappear 
A sad song can't be played so please don't be afraid 
'Cause you just can't play a sad song on the banjo

and multiple other artists



The summer wind came blowin' in
From across the sea
It lingered there so warm and fair 

All summer long
we sang a song
And then we strolled on golden sand
Two friends
and the summer wind 

Like painted skies, those days and nights
They went flying by
The world was new
Beneath the bright blue
Umbrella sky 

Then softer than
That piper man
One day, it called to you
And I lost you
I lost you to
The summer wind 

The autumn wind
And the winter winds
They have come and they have gone
And still those days
Those lonely days
They go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies
To all the nights that never end?
My fickle friend
The summer wind

You Hurt Me
Performer(s): Little Willie John



Last night you told me
That we were through
And all the time, I thought
That your love was true

You-ooo hurt me, you hurt me so
You know you hurt me
When you let me go

You always told me
We'd never, ever part
But now you turn around
And break my loving heart

You hurt me, you hurt me so
You know you hurt me
When you let me go

I'm beggin', please come back to me!
A life is now at stake
An' if you don't soon return
You're gonna drive me to my grave

You hurt me, you hurt me so
You know you hurt me
When you let me go
Umm

(Instrumental & guitar)

I'm beggin', please come back to me!
A life is now at stake
If you don't soon return
You're gonna drive me to my grave

You hurt me, you hurt me so
You know you hurt me
When you let me go

Ooh, you hurt me
You hurt me
You hurt me so

You know you hurt me
When you let me go

Tell me that you love me
Say I'm not a summer sweetheart
Left to cry when summer laughter's gone
And tell me that you need me
Say i'm not a summer sweetheart
Left alone with winter coming on
And tell me when the beach umbrella's are no longer on the sand
When leaves fall on the tennis court we'll still be hand in hand
Oh let me hear you say
Tho we began as summer sweethearts we found love that never will be old
A summer love that never will grow cold
Oh let me hear you say
Tho we began as summer sweethearts we found love that never will be old
A summer love that never will grow cold

You Helped Me Up (When The World Let Me Down)
Composer(s): Cile Davis; Carmen Holland; Clyde Pitts
Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis



Taking in consideration honey all that we've been through
A thousand gossip touted tongues can't stop my loving you
You broke the chains of misery that had me tightly bound
Yes you helped me up when the world let me down
You helped me up and stood by me everyway our luck was down
My party friends from the party days no longer were around
You saw in me a quality that no one else has found
Yes you helped me up when the world let me down

(piano)

You helped me up and stood by me everyway our luck was down
Through your eyes you saw a king and the world saw only a clown (yes they did)
My problems all were solved the day your sweet love Jerry found
Yes you helped me up when the world let me down
You helped me up when the world let me down (that's right baby)
