Sweet Melinda
Composer(s): Steve Gillette - Dave Mackechnie
Performer(s): John Denver; Chesapeake; Steve Gillette



Pulled out of Linden, Texas
Two days and nights ago
I've been livin' on pills and burgies
Till the whites of my eyes don't show

Southbound headlights are makin' me blind
I'm too damn tired to blink
My toes are numb and my brain's gone numb
And I can just barely think

Sweet Melinda, my wife
The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler
Cuts through me like a knife
'Cept for you, sweet Melinda, my wife
I been ridin' on empty
Most all of my life

Two more hours of daylight
It's startin' to rain again
A sign up ahead says "Welcome to Paradise
Population Ten"

Well me and this truck and that old white line
Stumblin' on and on
Like three old drinkin' buddies
Comin' home at dawn

Sweet Melinda, my wife
The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler
Cuts through me like a knife
'Cept for you, sweet Melinda, my wife
I been ridin' on empty
Most all of my life

Composers(s): Billy Faber; Larry Fotin; Fred Meadows

Vic Damone; Connie Francis; The Ink Spots; 
Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers; Jimmy Beasley



You were only fooling
But I was falling in love
It's a story as old as Adam and Eve
I was making love but you were making believe

You lied to me with kisses
I tried to stop dreaming of
You were only fooling me
While I was falling in love

It's a story as old as Adam and Eve
I was making love but you were making believe

You lied to me with kisses
I tried to stop dreaming of
You were only fooling me
While I was falling in love

Sweet Marie
Composer(s): Raymond Moore - Cy Warman
Performer(s): Ada Jones



I've a secret in my heart, Sweet Marie
A tale I would impart, love to thee
Ev'ry daisy in the dell
Knows my secret, knows it well
And yet I dare not tell, Sweet Marie...
Come to me, Sweet Marie, come to me
Not because your face is fair, love to see
But your soul so pure and sweet
Makes my happiness complete
Makes me falter at your feet, Sweet Marie

You were mine at the time and the feeling was sublime
You were mine (you were mine) 
You were mine (you were mine)
You were really, really mine
And I know that our love was a love of true love

Like a bird on the wing when he know it's early Spring
You were mine (you were mine) 
You were mine (you were mine)
You were really, really mine
And I know that our love was a love of true love

But now, since you're gone, I'm so sad and alone
Remembr'ing the love that we had for our own
	
Now I'll go on my way thinking of that lovely day
You were mine (you were mine) 
You were mine (you were mine)
You were really, really mine
And I know that our love was a love of true love

Now I'll go on my way thinking of that lovely day
You were mine (you were mine) 
You were mine (you were mine)
You were really, really mine
And I know (and I know) that our love (that our love) was a love of true love

And I know (and I know) that our love (that our love) was a love of true love

Performer(s): Gene Kelly;
and various other artists



Life was a song
You came along
I’ve laid awake the whole night through
If I ever dared
To think you cared
This is what I’d say to you

You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Nature fashioned you
And when she was done
You were all those good things
Rolled into one

You're like a plaintive melody
That never lets me be
I'm content the angels must have sent you
And they meant you just for me

But I’m content 
The angels must have sent you
And they meant you
Just for me

Would you like to take this magic potion with me?
On a trip to a cosmic playground far beyond
She understands, shes been before
It's in her hands to find the door

Sweet Lorraine
Let the party carry on
You and I will swim in the sea
Sweet Lorraine
Let the party carry on
You and I can feel the breeze

There is no time, no wealth
Only I surround you
The fortune of this guide
Is deep sincerity
She understands
'Cos she's been there before
It's in her hands
To find the door, so

No one else could come between this love, I know
'Cause I'll never let you go

You and me it seems
Never have a problem we can't overcome

Everytime I tell them, I'm so glad you're mine

You were meant for me
No one else could come between this love, I know
'Cause I'll never let you go

You and me it seems
Never have a problem we can't overcome

If I could, I'll stay right here beside you
With your hand in mine, making love for days

You were meant for me
No one else could come between this love, I know
'Cause I'll never let you go

You were meant for me

Sweet Lorraine
Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - Cliff Burwell
First release by: Jimmie Noone & His Apex Club Orch. - 1928



(I) just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy, baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo toy
When I met my sweet Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine

A pair of eyes
That are brighter than the summer skies
When you see them, you'll realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine

Now when it's rainin'
I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine

Now when it's rainin'
I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine

A fish was made to swim in the ocean
A boat was made to sail on the sea
As sure as there is a God above
Darling, I know you were made for me

You were made for me
A grape was made for a vine
An apple was made to grow on a tree
As sure as there is a God above
Darling, I know you were made for me

We'll have our quarrels and you'll upset me
But what can I do
Oh you've been mine ever since I met you 
And I'll never, never, never, never, never leave you

As sure as there's a heaven above me
From you I know I'll never be free
As sure as there is a God above
Darling, I know you were made for me

Sweet Little Buttercup
Composer(s): Alfred Bryan - Herman Paley



Will you miss me little Buttercup 
Said a rustic lad one day 
I must go away 
And I must obey 
Come and kiss me lift your two lips up 
There now dearie don't you cry
Hear the bugles calling 
It is time to say "Good Bye"

Stop your crying little Buttercup 
Sang a little bird one night 
Stars are shining bright 
On his mantle white
Don't be sighing lift your spirit up 
Soon he will be on his way 
Hear the breezes sighing 
Don't you hear them softly say

Sweet little Butter cup 
Shy little Buttercup 
Dry your eyes of blue 
I'll come back to you 
When the war is through 
Safe in your sylvan dell 
Far from the shot and shell 
Let your lovelight shine 
Angels guide you watch beside you 
Sweet little Buttercup mine

Sweet little Butter cup 
Shy little Buttercup 
Dry your eyes of blue 
I'll come back to you 
When the war is through 
Safe in your sylvan dell 
Far from the shot and shell 
Let your lovelight shine 
Stars above you watch and love you 
Sweet little Buttercup mine

You Were Made For Me

Performer(s): Freddie & The Dreamers;
Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers



You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Tell me then that you don't know

All the trees were made for little things that sing and fly
And the sun was made to burn so bright and light the sky-ee-y-ee-y
Pretty eyes were never made to cry, they were made to see
When I hold you in my arms I know that you were made for me

You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Tell me then that you don't know

All the flowers in the field were made to please the bees
For the fishes swim to make the rivers run to the sea-ee-ee-ee-eas
Every hand was made to to hold another, tenderly
When I kissed you on your lips I knew that you were made for me

You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Tell me then that you don't know

Da da daaa da da da da da daaa da daaa da daaaa
Da da daaa da da da da da daaa da daa de-da-de-da-de-da

You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Tell me then that you don't know

Every hand was made to hold another, tenderly
When I kissed you on your lips I knew that
You were made
You were made
You were made for me

Sweet Leilani
Composer(s): Harry Owens 
Performer(s): Bing Crosby



Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower
Nature fashioned roses kissed with dew
And then she placed them in a bower
It was the start of you

Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower
I dreamed of paradise for two
You are my paradise completed
You are my dream come true

Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower
Tropic skies are jealous as they shine
I think they're jealous of your blue eyes
Jealous because you're mine

Sweet Leilani, Heavenly flower
I dreamed of paradise for two
You are my paradise completed
You are my dream come true

You are my paradise completed
You are my dream come true

You Were Great, How Was I?
Composer(s): John Farrar; Tom Snow
Performer(s): Olivia Newton-John



I'll never learn
I cling to the past
I find so much there to lean on
But when I get lucky
I can even forget
Our now and forevers are gone

I know what you mean
I go there myself
When I feel the mood coming on
It comes on so easy
It's hard to believe
Our now and forevers are gone

When did we lose our starry eyes
The feeling's too strong to compromise
Something went wrong between hello and goodbye
Now it's too late
Love you were great, how was I?

I'm doing my best with somebody else
It's good to feel counted upon
It keeps me from sliding to where I forget
Our now and forevers are gone

When did we lose our starry eyes
The feeling's too strong to compromise
Something went wrong between hello and goodbye
Now it's too late
Love you were great, how was I?

Alright Now!!
Won't you listen?

When I first met you, didn't realize
I can't forget you, for your suprize
you introduced me, to my mind
And left me wanting, you and your kind
Oh yeah!

I love you, Oh you know it 

My life was empty forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear 
I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear
Oh yeah!

Come on now, try it out

Straight people don't know, what your about
They put you down and shut you out
you gave to me a new belief
and soon the world will love you sweet leaf 
Oh yeah baby!

You Wear It Well
Composer(s): Martin Quittenton; Rod Stewart
Performer(s): Rod Stewart



I had nothing to do
on this hot afternoon
but to settle down
and write you a line
I've been meaning to phone you
but from Minnesota
hell it's been a very long time
you wear it well
a little old fashioned
but that's all right

Well I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking
or he wouldn't get in touch with me
Oh I ain't begging or losing my head
I sure do want you to know that you wear it well
there ain't a lady in the land so fine

Remember those basement parties, your brother's karate
the all day rock and roll shows
Them homesick blues and radical view
haven't left a mark on you, you wear it well
a little out of time, but I don't mind

But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
but I blew it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out
tryin' to get a letter through
(tryin' to get back to you)

Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
when you sat down and cried on the stairs
You knew it did not cost the earth, but for what it's worth
You make me fell a millionaire and you wear it well
Madame Onassis got nothing on you

And when my coffee's cold and I'm getting told
that I gotta get back to work
so when the sun goes low and you're home all alone
think of me and try not to laugh and I'll wear it well
I don't object if you call collect
'cos I ain't forgetting that you were once mine

Sweet Kentucky Rose
You're always in his heart
He dreams about you every day

Sweet Kentucky Rose
He's sorry you're apart
He never should have gone away

He'll be coming back
To hold you once again
And settle where the bluegrass grows

He'll build a little home
Then he will never roam
From his sweet Kentucky Rose

He dreams about you every day

He never should have gone away

He'll be coming back
To hold you once again
And settle where the bluegrass grows

He'll build a little home
Then he will never roam
From his sweet Kentucky Rose
