If I told you, how I feel inside Would you understand the love I'm feelin' Would you run away and hide?
I do, love you And I always will Love's not a word I've often spoken You make my restless heart stand still!
You are my world, my newborn soul, Here is my heart for you to hold, You're every dream of love come true, Yes, everything I'll ever need is you!
(I will ...) I will ... (love you ...) love you ... (Like no one before ...) An' should you ever ask how much I love you I'd say I couldn't love you more!
'Cause you're my world, my newborn soul Here is my heart for you to hold You're every dream of love come true Yes, everything I'll ever need is you!
(You're every dream of love come true ...) Yes, everything I'll ever need is you!
Cowpunchers Cantata Composer(s): Max Bygraves Performer(s): Max Bygraves
I travelled across to America And when I arrived in America They said, Son, you know, you cant go wrong If you finish your show with a cowboy song So I practiced all day to get the song right And I dreamed of those songs all through the night
That night I heard the wild goose cry Hed got mixed up with the riders in the sky Tried to sleep, but it was in vain Have you ever tried sleeping on a mule train
Iyyyyeeeeeeiiiiiiiiioooooooowwwww!
My heart goes where the mule train goes And I must go where the mule train goes Brother goose, mother goose, dont you fear Cos Ive arrived, and to prove it Im ere
Iyyyyeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiooooooooooooooooowwwww! Aha, Yma Sumac?
The riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name If youre looking for the wild goose, hes on the mule train So cowboy mend your ways today, forget your life of sin And you will be in time to meet the shrimp boats coming in
Oyoyoyoy, giddup there, go on old paint there, go on
My heart goes where the shrimp boats go And I must go where the shrimp boats go Im gonna ride that dusty trail Cos theyve locked up my lover in Allentown jail
You know this kinda reminds me of the first time I blew into Tombstone city Yessir, that night I slept on the prairie and all night long those prairie dogs kept howlin. I couldnt understand why they kept howlin, then I found out Aint no trees on the prairie, jest cactus.
If ever the devil was born Without a pair of horns It was you, Sonny Boy
You Are My Sunshine Composer(s): Charles Mitchell; Jimmy Davis Performer(s): Bing Crosby; and various other artists
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head and I cried. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away I'll always love you and make you happy If you will only say the same But if you leave me to love another You'll regret it all some day You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away You told me once, dear, you really loved me and no one else could come between But now you've left me and love another you have shattered all my dreams You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away

Strong In Reason Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook Performer(s): Squeeze
You get your trunks out of the drawer You see your self as once before The empty box lies on the chair Another steroid grease your hair The sun ray lamp is put away There is no reason to be afraid So fix yourself into a shape Your audience is half awake The time has come to flex your back Another day for you meat rack
Strong in vigour Strong in arm Strong with almost perfect charm Strong in tension Strong in strength Strong in almost every sense
Out on the stage the lights are green It's one step forward now you've been seen The right arm up the left arm down Open mouthed the vacant crowd Your chest of wax flips like a coin Into the rhythm into the join The ladies in the comfortable seats They look at you with eyes so deep Don't take a bow because your get the sack I'm pleased to slag you off meat rack
Strong Enough To Bend Composer(s): Beth Nielsen Chapman - Don Schlitz Performer(s): Tanya Tucker and multiple other artists
There's a tree out in the backyard That never has been broken by the wind And the reason its still standing It was strong enough to bend
For years, we have stayed together As lovers and as friends What we have will last forever If we're strong enough to bend
When you say something that you can't take back Big wind blows and you hear a little crack When you say "Hey well I might be wrong" You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone Sway with the wind till the storm is gone
Like a tree out in the backyard That never has been broken by the wind Our love will last forever If we're strong enough to bend
When you start thinkin' that you know it all Big wind blows and a branch will fall When you say "Hey this job takes two" We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue
Like a tree out in the backyard That never has been broken by the wind Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend
You are my love You are the one that I adore You are my love You are what I have waited for Oh, you are my love Oh, you are my love Oh, you are my love You are my day You change my winter into spring You came my way And then my heart began to sing Oh, you are my love Oh, you are my love Oh, you are my love
Strong Enough Composer(s): Paul Barry - Mark Taylor Performer(s): Cher
I don't need your sympathy There's nothing you can say or do for me And I don't want a miracle You'll never change for no one I hear you reasons why Where did you sleep last night? And was she worth it, was she worth it?
Now I'm strong enough to live without you Strong enough and I quit crying long enough Now I'm strong enough to know you gotta go There's no more to say So save your breath And then walk away No matter what I hear you say I'm strong enough to know you gotta go
So you feel misunderstood Baby, have I got news for you One being used, I could write the book But you don't wanna hear about it
I've been losing sleep You've been going cheap She ain't worth half of me it's true Now I'm telling you
That I'm strong enough to live without you Strong enough and I quit crying long enough Now I'm strong enough to know you've gotta go
Come hell or waters high You'll never see me cry This is our last goodbye, it's true
I'm telling you
Now I'm strong enough to live without you Strong enough and I quit crying long enough Now I'm strong enough to know you gotta go There's no more to say So save your breath And then walk away No matter what I hear you say I'm strong enough to know you gotta go
Strong As Steel Performer(s): Gladys Knight & The Pips
We've been so close to each other Can't think of a moment that you weren't there We've been through so much together Can't think of a feeling that we haven't shared

Strolling, just strolling In the cool of the evening air I don't envy the rich in their automobiles For a motor car is phoney I'd rather have Shanks's pony When I'm strolling, just strolling With the light of the moon above Ev'ry night I go out strolling And I know my luck is rolling When I'm strolling with the one I love
Strolling, just strolling In the cool of the evening air Ev'ry man and his dog keeps on walking for miles And we don't care who tramps most But they can never pass one lamp post When they're strolling, just strolling In the light of the moon above Though we might think we're good planners But the blighters won't learn manners Though they're strolling with the ones they love
You Are Love Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
Once a wandering ne'er-do-well Just a vagrant roaming fellow I went my way Life was just a joke to tell Like a lonely Punchinello My role was gay But I knew the joke was aimless Time went on, I liked the game less For you see Somewhere lurked a spark divine And I kept wondering whether mine Would come to me.
Then my fortune turned and I found you Here you are with my arms around you You will never know what you meant to me You're the prize that heaven has sent to me Here's a bright and beautiful world anew Wrapped up in you
You are love Here in my arms Where you belong And here you will stay I'll not let you away I want day after day with you
You are spring Bud of romance unfurl'd You taught me to see One truth forever true
You are love Wonder of all the world Where you go with me Heaven will always be!
You are love Here in my arms Where you belong And here you will stay I'll not let you away I want day after day with you
You are spring Bud of romance unfurl'd You taught me to see One truth forever true
You are love Wonder of all the world. Where you go with me Heaven will always be!
Stroll On Composer(s): Keith Relf - Jeff Beck - Jimmy Page - Chris Dreja Performer(s): The Yardbirds
Strollin' on 'Cos it's all gone The reason why You made me cry By tellin' me You didn't see The future bore Our love no more If you want to know I love you so And I don't want to let you go
I'm strollin' on Gonna make you see I'm strollin' on You'll find you really love me I'm strollin' on Be your turn to cry I'm strollin' on You wish you'd never lied You're going to change your mind But you ain't gonna find Any more of my kind
I'm strollin' on 'Cos it's all gone The reason why You made me cry By tellin' me You didn't see The future bore Our lovin' no more If you want to know I love you so I don't want to let you go
I'm strollin' on Gonna make you see I'm strollin' on You'll find you really love me I'm strollin' on Be your turn to cry I'm strollin' on You wish you'd never lied You're going to change your mind But you ain't gonna find Any more of my kind
You Are For Loving Composer(s): Ralph Blane; Hugh Martin Performer(s): Liza Minnelli; Michael Feinstein; Audrey Morris
When we met, the spring was nearly summer The lilacs were in blossom, I recall Later on, with summer nearly autumn
I knew I'd fallen long before the fall Autumn has turned into winter So spring can't be very far away And I have learned a head can be turned In a year, in a month, in a day Songs are for singing Bouquets are for bringing Hopes are for clinging to Wheels of fortune are for spinning
And games are for winning Tunes are for humming Guitars are for strumming Dreams are for coming true And you are for loving And loving, and loving, and loving By someone just as wonderful as you Which makes me wonder if I'll do
