Sweet Caroline ((French Version: Miss Caroline (by Eddy Mitchell) - 1969)) Composer(s): Neil Diamond First release by: Neil Diamond - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Where it began I can't begin to knowin' But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring And spring became the summer Who'd have believed you'd come along
Hands, touchin' hands Reachin' out Touchin' me Touchin' you
Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined To believe they never would
But now I Look at the night And it don't seem so lonely We fill it up with only two And when I hurt Hurtin' runs off my shoulders How can I hurt when I'm with you
Warm, touchin' warm Reachin' out Touchin' me Touchin' you
Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined To believe they never would Oh, no, no
Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined To believe they never would Sweet Caroline

(spoken) She's in love with you boy
I ain't tellin' tales, anybody else Could repeat the things that I've heard She's been talkin' sweet and it's on the street How our girlfriend's spreadin' the word
Ahh, you should hurry You should let her know how you feel Ahh, now don't you worry If you're scared this love is for real
You should hear how she talks about you You should hear what she says She says she would be lost without you She's half out of her head (out of her head) You should hear how she talks about you She is really in love (She is really in love)
Ahh, you should hurry You should let her know how you feel Ahh, now don't you worry If you're scared this love is for real

You Should Have Seen The Way He Looked At Me Composer(s): Jeff Barry; Ellie Greenwich Performer(s): The Dixie Cups
I saw him at the party Standing in the corner Looking just as good as he could be And when he caught my eye I knew I was a goner You should have seen the way he looked at me
Well, I tell you He really knocked me dead So, I don't quite remember Exactly what he said I just stood there And I shook my head Cause, you should have seen the way he looked at me Yeah, yeah, yeah
The music started playing And before I knew it He put his arms around me tenderly He asked me for a kiss And I just had to do it You should have seen the way he looked at me
Well, you know that He walked me home that night There was starlight and moonlight Everything was right So I kissed him, with all my might And you should have seen the way he looked at me Yeah, Whoa-oh-oh-no
He didn't let me down Cause the very next day You know he came around And he told me that he loved me Yes, he really did now He said that he was mine eternally I looked him in the eye And said, you wouldn't kid now You should have seen the way he looked at me
And then one day I wore something new Something old, and borrowed, And something blue I remember, when he said, I do You should have seen the way he looked at me

Sweet Baby James Composer(s): James Taylor First release by: James Taylor - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
There is a young cowboy who lives on the range His horse and his cattle were his only companions He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyon Waiting for summer, his pastures to change As the moon rises he sits by his fire Thinking about women and glasses of beer He's closing his eyes as the dogies retire He sings out a song which is soft but is clear As if maybe someone could hear
Goodnight you moonlight ladies Rock a bye sweet baby James Deep greens and blues are the colours i choose Won't you let me go down in my dreams And rock a bye sweet baby James
Now the first of december was covered with snow So was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston Though the birches seemed dreamlike On account of that frosting With 10 miles behind me and 10,000 more to go There's a song that they sing When they take to the highway There's a song that they sing When they take to the sea A song that they sing of their home in the sky Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep But singing works just fine for me
Goodnight you moonlight ladies Rock a bye sweet baby James Deep greens and blues are the colours i choose Won't you let me go down in my dreams And rock a bye sweet baby James

She was a fast machine She kept her motor clean She was the best damn woman I had ever seen She had the sightless eyes Telling me no lies Knockin' me out with those American thighs Taking more than her share Had me fighting for air She told me to come but I was already there
'Cause the walls start shaking The earth was quaking My mind was aching And we were making it and you
Shook me all night long
Working double time On the seduction line She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine She wanted no applause Just another course Made a meal out of me and came back for more Had to cool me down To take another round Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing
'Cause the walls were shaking The earth was quaking My mind was aching And we were making it and you
