Suite Madame Blue Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung Performer(s): Styx; Sylvain Cossette
Time after time I sit and I wait for your call I know I'm a fool but why can I say Whatever the price I'll pay for you, Madame Blue Once long ago, a word from your lips and the world turned around But somehow you've changed, you're so far away I long for the past and dream of the days with you, Madame Blue
Suite Madame Blue, gaze in your looking glass You're not a child anymore Suite Madame Blue, the future is all but past Dressed in your jewels, you made your own rules You conquered the world and more ..............heaven's door
Red white and blue, gaze in your looking glass You're not a child anymore Red, white, and blue, the future is all but past So lift up your heart, make a new start And lead us away from here

You don't know what you've got until you lose it You gave me you-your love but I abused it And now I'm sorry for the things I didn't say `cause I know now I acted in a foolish way (oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah

So now if you'd come to this lonely heart you own I'd give you all my lovin' like you've never known (bung, bung, bung, bung)
You don't know what you've got until you lose it You gave me you-your love but I misused it And now I'm sorry for the things I didn't say `cause I know now I acted in a foolish way (oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah
You Don't Know What Love Is Composer(s): Gene DePaul; Don Raye Performer(s): Dinah Washington; and various other artists
You don't know what love is until you've learned the meaning of the Blues Until you've loved a love you had to lose You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips burn until you've kissed and had to pay the cost Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost You don't know what love is
Do you know how a lost heart fears the thought of reminiscing? And lips that taste of tears lose their taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts ache for love that cannot live yet never dies Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes You don't know what love is You don't know what love is
Well Twistin' in the morning Twistin' in the evening Twistin' at supper time Be my little twister And twist to sugartime
Twistin' in the morning Twistin' in the evening Twistin' at supper time Love to see the twisters All twist to sugartime

Twistin' in the morning Twistin' in the evening Twistin' at supper time Be my little twister And twist to sugartime
Twistin' in the morning Twistin' in the evening Twistin' at supper time Love to see the twisters All twist to sugar

Twistin' in the morning Twistin' in the evening Twistin' at supper time Be my little twister Go twistin' (twistin') To (to) The sugartime song
You Don't Know Me Composer(s): Cindy Walker; Eddy Arnold Performer(s): Jerry Vale; and various other artists
You give your hand to me and then you say hello And I can hardly speak, my heart is beating so And anyone could tell, you think you know me well But you don't know me
No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight To you I'm just a friend, that's all I've ever been No, you don't know me
For I never knew the art of making love Though my heart aches with love for you Afraid and shy I let my chance go by The chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me and then you say good-bye I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy To never, never know the one who loves you so No, you don't know me
Well . . . Sugar in the mornin' Sugar in the evenin' Sugar at suppertime Be my little sugar And love me all the time
Honey in the mornin' Honey in the evenin' Honey at suppertime So by my little honey And love me all the time
Put your arms around me And swear by stars above You'll be mine forever In a heaven of love
Sugar in the mornin' Sugar in the evenin' Sugar at suppertime Be my little sugar And love me all the time
Well, well
Sugar in the mornin' Sugar in the evenin' Sugar at suppertime Be my little sugar And love me all the time
Honey in the mornin' Honey in the evenin' Honey at suppertime So by my little honey And love me all the time
Put your arms around me And swear by stars above You'll be mine forever In a heaven of love

Now Sugartime (sugartime) Is anytime that you're near (that you're near) 'Cause you're so dear So don't you roam (don't roam) Just be my honeycomb (honeycomb, honeycomb) And live in a heaven of love
Sugar in the mornin' Sugar in the evenin' Sugar at suppertime Be my little sugar And love me (love me) All (all all all) The time
You Don't Know Love Composer(s): Rebecca Foster; Donald Lewis King Performer(s): Janie Fricke; Richard Clayderman
You don't know the meaning of uncontrolled desire You were always hanging just above the fire Now and then you come close enough to just stay warm And you think that you win 'cause you never give in Because you've never been burned Ah, but you're gonna learn
That you don't know love 'til it's chilled you to the bone Turned you inside out, left you all alone You don't know love 'til you've watched it die and then You have to try again, you don't know love
Like a child you wander out into the storm You defy the thunder, but the lightning keeps you warm The innocence you show is something I'd like to know And I'm feeling that I'm finally crossing the line But I won't be alone Yes, I've known all along
No, you don't know love 'til it's chilled you to the bone Turned you inside out, left you all alone You don't know love 'til you've watched it die and then You have to try again, you don't know love
Here I go again Looking back on yesterday Oh the games we played, Oh the innocence The sun it always seemed to shine Autumn spring right through winter time Oh and my family and friends of mine, Filled me so full of confidence And oh and run like the wind Free at last my young heart would sing
I lived my dreams out on, the sugarolly mountains While looking down on mo mean city, way below So many dreams up on, the sugarolly mountains One day I'd be a rock and roll singer The next I'd be building boats
And turning back another page The school yard and the football game Oh how we laughed through the purple haze Playing on the radio Arithmatic geography, They all just seemed to sail by me I just thank God for the poetry And that ringing bell I called liberty yeah And oh I'd run like the wind Free at last my young heart would sing yeah
And when you world is closing in You've got no place to hide Just close your eyes, count to ten Climb on up and stake your claim
Sugaree Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Robert Hunter First release by: Grateful Dead - 1976
When they come to take you down When they bring that wagon 'round When they come to call on you and drag your poor body down
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me

Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me

Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Well shake it up now Sugaree, I'll meet you at the jubilee
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me

Although I love you so Oh you don't know You don't know just how I feel For my love I daren't reveal I am so, I'm so afraid You might not care Every time you pass me by Oh you don't know, you don't know What I go through Seeing someone else with you Oh I wish the one with you, were me But you don't know
I would tell you, if I believed That you might care some day But until then I'll never give this away So a secret it must stay And you don't know, you don't know How hard to bear Is this one way love affair For it breaks my heart to be in love When you don't know

I looked at your face; is that the face I love? It's been a long time since I've seen you You've got a lovely place; the kids must send their love We stood there lonely, baby, without you
Chorus: And girl, you don't have to walk in the rain 'Cause baby, I know things can be just the same as before When you walk through my door, you'll be home, girl When you walk through my door, you'll be home
I was so afraid I almost turned away But you know I need somebody to cling to I looked at your face; I love you anyway It's been a long time since I've seen you

When I said I needed you, you said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you, and now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone and I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me, I can't help but love you
But believe me, I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory, life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness, there's nothing left to feel
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me, I can't help but love you
But believe me, I'll never tie you down
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me....
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me, believe me

You Don't Have To Cry Composer(s): Stephen Stills Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash
In the morning when you rise Do you think of me and how you left me cryin'? Are you thinkin' of telephones And managers and where you got to be at noon?
You are living a reality I left years ago it quite nearly killed me In the long run it will make you cry Make you crazy and old before your time
And the difference between me and you I won't argue right or wrong but I have time to cry my baby You don't have to cry I said cry my baby you don't have to cry I said cry my baby you don't have to cry
