You won't find another fool like me, babe No you won't Who'll sit around all night and wait for you And close their eyes, to oh so many lies No one else could love you like I do

Sweet Potato Piper Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James V. Monaco Performer(s): Bing Crosby, Dorothy Lamour, Bob Hope and multiple other artists
Music soothes the savage That's a well known phrase But your heart becomes Full of kettle drums When the sweet potato piper plays
Go on, throw your hat up Shout a few hoorays Cause you can't hold back You're a jumpin' jack When the sweet potato piper plays
Though it's not a magic flute There's a fascinatin' toot It's not exactly beautiful It's sort of like an I don't know I guess you'd call it cute!
Sunbeams try new dance steps, Songbirds sound their A's And the world joins in With a great big grin When the sweet potato piper plays
Oh, play it Piper!
Yes, make me know it!
(Though it's not a magic flute) (There's a fascinatin' toot) (It's not exactly beautiful) It's sort of like an I don't know I guess you'd call it cute
Yes, I'm with the Piper!
(Music soothes the savage) (That's a well known phrase) But your heart becomes Full of kettle drums When the sweet potato piper plays
Go on, throw your hat up Shout a few hoorays (Okay!) (Cause you can't hold back) (You're a jumpin' jack) (When the sweet potato piper plays)
Though it's not a magic flute (Oh, no, no, no) There's a fascinatin' toot (Toot-doo-doo-doo) It's not exactly beautiful It's sort of like an' I don't know I guess you'd call it cute-li-doot
(Sunbeams try new dance steps) (Songbirds sound their A's) (And the world joins in) (With a great big grin) (When the sweet potato piper plays)
Oh, sweet potato piper hotter than a pickled pepper picker Pick a piper for 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

You Win Again Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb; Maurice Gibb Performer(s): The Bee Gees
I couldn't figure why You couldn't give me what everybody needs I shouldn't let you kick me when I'm down My baby I find out everybody know that You've been using me I'm surprised you Let me stay around you One day I'm gonna lift the cover And look inside your heart We gotta level before we go And tear this love apart
(Chorus) There's no fight you can't fight This battle of love with me You win again So little time We do nothing but compete There's no life on earth No other could see me through You win again Some never try But if anybody can, we can And I'll be, I'll be Following you
Oh baby I shake you from now on I'm gonna break down your defenses One by one I'm gonna hit you from all sides Lay your fortress open wide Nobody stops this body from Taking you
You better beware, I swear I'm gonna be there one day when you fall I could never let you cast aside The greatest love of all
Sweet Memories Composer(s): Mickey Newbury First release by: Mickey Newbury - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists
My world is like a river as dark as it is deep Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memories Sweet memories sweet memories hmm
She slipped into the silence of my dreams last night Wondering from room to room turning on each light Her laughter spills like water from the river to the sea And I'm swept away from sadness clinging to her memories Sweet memories sweet memories hmm
Sweet Memories Composer(s): Hugh Nicholson Performer(s): Blue
Songs I've lost and found Were wrapped around Those sweet memories of you And I can still recall The feelings fall Like feathers from a bird who had so few
And it seems I'm unable to fly any higher I reached my peak When I fell in love with you To leave my past behind is my desire And fall into the arms of someone new
And it seems I'm unable to fly any higher I reached my peak When I fell in love with you To leave my past behind is my desire And fall into the arms of someone new
You Will Be My Music Composer(s): Joe Raposo Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; Len Leeds; Joe Longthorne; Flip Phillips; Annette Sanders
When all the songs are out of tune And all the rhyms ring so untrue When I don't find the words to say The thoughts I long I bring to you When I hear lonely singers Who are just as lost as me Making noise, not melody You will be my music You will be my song You will be my music
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong I'll never find the song to tell me All the things I need to say And I'm afraid as time goes by That someday soon you'll go away And I'll be lost and trying For songs I'll never sing Wanting you is ev'rything You will be my music You will be my song You will be my music I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong I can't wait any longer for my song
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
