You Wouldn't Hurt Me Composer(s): Michael Jackson Performer(s): Patti Austin
Loving you came easily That it made be blind to all there was to see Now my heart is filled with pain To understand, I never will How could it come to be that you don't love me still? Now it's getting to be plain
If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me If you cared about more than yourself, I bet you wouldn't go If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me If you cared about more than yourself, you wouldn't walk out the door
Though somedays the blues was our parade Still we marched through all the tears we made Now I find it was an old game of charades...that you played
I did my best to bring you joy How can you just leave me like a broken toy? Where's the man that once was you? If I could be within your mind I would never think to treat you this unkind The pain you caused will come to you
If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me If you cared about more than yourself, I bet you wouldn't go If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me If you cared about more than yourself, you wouldn't walk out the door
Sweet Sir Galahad Composer(s): Joan Baez Performer(s): Joan Baez; Gary Scruggs
Sweet Sir Galahad came in through the window in the night when the moon was in the yard He took her hand in his and shook the long hair from his neck and he told her she'd been working much too hard It was true that ever since the day her crazy man had passed away to the land of poet's pride she laughed and talked alot with new people on the block but always at evening time she cried
And here's to the dawn of their days
She moved her head a little down on the bed until it rested softly on his knee And there she dropped her smile and there she sighed awhile and told him all the sadness of those years that numbered three Well you know I think my fate's belated because of all the hours I waited for the day when I'd no longer cry I get myself to work by eight but oh, was I born too late and do you think I'll fail at every single thing I try?
And here's to the dawn of their days
He just put his arm around her and that's the way I found her eight months later to the day The lines of a smile erased the tear tracks upon her face a smile could linger, even stay Sweet Sir Galahad went down with his gay bride of flowers the prince of the hours of her lifetime
And here's to the dawn of their days of their days

When I call you up, your line's engaged
I have had enough, so act your age!
We have lost the time that was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind if you won't see me
(You won't see me)
You won't see me
(You won't see me)
I don't know why you should want to hide
But I can't get through, my hands are tied
I won't want to stay, I don't have much to say
but I can turn away, and you won't see me
(You won't see me)
You won't see me
(You won't see me)
Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing
(No I wouldn't no I wouldn't)
Though the days are few they're filled with tears
and since I lost you it feels like years
Yes, it seems so long, girl since you've been gone
and I just can't go on if you won't see me
(You won't see me)
You won't see me
(You won't see me)
Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing
(No I wouldn't no I wouldn't)
Though the days are few they're filled with tears
and since I lost you it feels like years
Yes, it seems so long, girl since you've been gone
and I just can't go on if you won't see me

Just down around the corner of the street I reside There lives the cutest little girl I have ever spied Her name is Rose O'Grady and, I don't mind telling you That she's the sweetest little Rose the garden ever grew
I never shall forget the day she promised to be mine As we sat telling love tales, in the golden summer time 'T was on her finger that I placed a small engagement ring While in the trees, the little birds this song they seemed to sing!
Sweet Rosie O'Grady My dear little Rose She's my steady lady Most everyone knows And when we are married How happy we'll be I love sweet Rosie O'Grady And Rosie O'Grady, loves me

You Wonder How These Things Began Composer(s): Schmidt; Jones Performer(s): Peter Wyngarde
Well, this begins with a Glen It begins with a season Which, for want of a better reason, we'll call April It begins with a forest, where the woodchucks woo And leaves wax green And the vines entwine moonlight lovers
Try to see it - not with your eyes, because they're wise But with your ears - the cool, green breathing of the leaves And hear it with the inside of your hand The soundless sound of shadows
Celebrate sensation! Recall it's secret place You've been there you remember? That special place?
Where someone held your hand? And love was sweeter than the berries or the honey Or the stinging taste of mint It is April - before a rainfall Perfect time to be in love
