You'll always be the one I love

Sweet talking guy, talking sweet kinda lies
Don't you believe in him, if you do he'll make you cry
He'll send you flowers and paint the town with another guy

No no no you'll never win (sweet sweet, sweet talkin' guy)...

You'll Accomp'ny Me
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band



A gypsy wind is blowing warm tonight
The sky is starlit and the time is right
And still you're tellin' me you have to go
Before you leave there's something you should know
Yeah something you should know babe

I've seen you smiling in the summer sun
I've seen your long hair flying when you run
I've rnade my mind up that it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea
You're high above me now, you're wild and free ah but
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Some people say that love's a losin' game
You start with fire but you lose the flame
The ashes smolder but the warmth's soon gone
You end up cold and lonely on your own

I'll take my chances babe I'II risk it all
I'll win your love or I'II take the fall
I've made my mind up girl it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

It's written down some where, it's not to be
You're high above me flyin' wild and free
Oh but someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meetthe sounding sea
I feel it in my soul, it's meant to be
Oh someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Sweet Surrender
Composer(s): Tim Buckley
First release by: Tim Buckley - 1972



Now You Wanna Know The Reason 
Why I Cheated On You 
Well I Had To Be A Hunter Again 
This Little Man Had To Try 
To Make Love Feel New Again 
'Cause There's Just A Few Things Honey 
I'm Not Old Enough To Do For You 
You Just Never Care To Show Me 
Showed Him How To Tango 
And When They Tangoed It'd Send Their Hearts A Flutter 
Young And Tender 
Seemed To Surrender In So Sweet Surrender 
In Sweet Surrender 
Ahh Sweet Surrender To Love 
But Now You're Gonna Go Out And Get Yourself 
A Reputation 
But I'm Gonna Have To Show You Where To Start 
And Then You're Gonna Bring Back Your Little Reputation 
And Prove To Me What I Could Not Prove To You
Sweet surrender.... 

You'd Better Come Home
Composer(s): Georges Aber; Tony Hatch
Performer(s): Petula Clark



You'd better come home and stop your running around
You'd better come home and get your feet on the ground
'cause I won't share my love with anyone new

You'd better be smart, you've gotta make up your mind
Stop breaking my heart and leave the others behind
'cause I won't share my love whatever I do

The love that I give for as long as I live will be yours
And nothing can change the way that I feel
So, baby, come back to me (baby, come back to me)
Baby, come back to me (baby, come back to me)
Love me like you did before

You'd better come home and see the damage you've done
You'd better come home because you've had all your fun
And I won't share my love with anyone new
No-oh-no

The love that I give for as long as I live will be yours
And nothing can change the way that I feel
So, baby, come back to me (baby, come back to me)
Baby, come back to me (baby, come back to me)
Love me like you did before

You'd better come home and see the damage you've done
You'd better come home because you've had all your fun
And I won't share my love with anyone new
No-oh-no

I just want to share it with you

You'd better come home-o-ome

Sweet Surrender
Composer(s): Bob Feldman - Richard Gottehrer
Performer(s): Robert Gordon



Do you remember
The night we spent together
You came to me
In sweet surrender
 
No words were spoken
As your eyes met mine
Two hearts were opened
By love-burning fire
 
Sweet, sweet surrender
I'll never be the same
Sweet, sweet surrender
I'll never feel ashame
For wanting you
And loving you the way I do
 
I still remember
Your special smile
The look of love
As you walked down the aisle
 
I-I kissed your lips
Yeah and I wished you luck
I was the best man
Just not good enough
 
Sweet, sweet surrender
I'll never be the same
Sweet, sweet surrender
I'll never feel ashame
For wanting you
And loving you the way I still do
 
Sweet, sweet surrender
I'll never feel ashame
Sweet, sweet surrender
I'll never be the same

You'd Be Surprised
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe;
and various other artists



Johnny was bashful and shy, nobody understood why
Mary loved him, all the other girls passed him by
Every one wanted to know how she could pick such a beau
With a twinkle in her eye, she made this reply

He's not so good in a crowd, but when you get him alone
You'd be surprised
He isn't much at a dance, but then when he takes you home
You'd be surprised
He doesn't look like much of a lover, but don't judge a book by it's cover
He's got the face of an Angel, but there's a Devil in his eyes
He's such a delicate thing but when he starts in to squeeze
You'd be surprised
He doesn't look very strong but when you sit on his knee
You'd be surprised
At a party or at a ball I've got to admit he's nothing at all, but in a Morris chair
You'd be surprised

Mary continued to praise Johnny's remarkable ways
To the ladies, and you know advertising pays
Now Johnny's never alone, he has the busiest phone
Almost every other day a new girl will say

He's not so good in the house, but on a bench in the park
You'd be surprised
He isn't much in the light, but when he gets in the dark
You'd be surprised
I know he looks as slow as the Erie, but you don't know the half of it dearie
He looks as cold as an Eskimo, but there's fire in his eyes
He doesn't say very much, but when he starts in to speak
You'd be surprised
He's not so good at the start, but at the end of a week
You'd be surprised
On a streetcar or in a train, you'd think he was born without any brain
But in a taxi cab, and when he starts to grab, I say in a taxi cab
You'd be surprised
This one's a real danger!

----------


As sung by Johnny Ray:



He's not so good in a crowd
But when you get him alone
You'd be surprised
He isn't much at a dance
But then when he takes you home
You'd be surprised
He doesn't look like much of a lover
But don't judge a book by it's cover
He's got the face of an angel but
There's a devil in his eye
He's such a delicate thing
But when he starts to squeeze
You'd be surprised
He doesn't look very strong
But when you sit on his knees
You'd be surprised
At a party or at a ball
I've got to admit he's nothing at all
But in an easy chair
You'd be surprised

Sweet Surrender 
Composer(s): David Gates
First release by: Bread - 1972



Baby I'm through, runnin' it's true
I'd be a fool to try to escape you
And maybe I'm beat
But oh what a sweet surrender

You keep your rights, I'll take your nights
No one can lose when we turn the lights out
And tastin' defeat, lovin' that sweet surrender

I'm givin' up myself to you
But I didn't really lose at all
I gained the only love I've known and it never 
Hurt me to fall

Now that it's done, so glad you won
I know our lives have only begun
No more retreat, only my sweet surrender

Hmm baby, I admit defeat, but oh what a sweet surrender
Surrender, and you sweet thing in my life
I surrender to you

You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Helen Merrill;
and various other artists



You'd be so nice to come home to
You'd be so nice by the fire
While the breeze on high sang a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire

Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burning above
You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
To come home to and love

Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burning above
You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
To come home to and love

Love Is Such A Sweet Surprise
Composer(s): C. Goodman - M.A. Kennedy - P. Rose
Performer(s): Telly Savalas



Do you know how wonderful you are

It pleases me so to have this chance to show you
In my dreams I've never been this far

They were only fantasies of what I thought love should be
Love is lonely learning low to care

To care enough
to take the time to share
And just when I thought that love had passed me by

I saw me
smiling in your eyes
Love is such a sweet surprise
I didn't know what I was searchin' for

I tried so hard to find what came so easy
Love's a gift you give and you'll get more 
A magic shared by two and I would like to thank you
Love is a lonely learning how to care

And just when I thought that love had passed me by

I saw me
smiling in your eyes
Love is such a sweet surprise

Love is such a sweet surprise

Love is such a sweet surprise

You, you, you
I'm in love with you, you, you
I could be so true, true, true
To someone like you, you, you

Do, do, do
What you oughta do, do, do
Take me in your arms, please do
Let me cling to you, you, you

We were meant for each other
Sure as heavens above
We were meant for each other
To have, to hold and to love

You, you, you
There's no one like you, you, you
You could make my dreams come true
If you say you love me too

------ instrumental break ------

We were meant for each other
Sure as heavens above
We were meant for each other
To have, to hold and to love

You, you, you
There's no one like you, you, you
You could make my dreams come true
If you'd say you love me too

Tonight we ride, right or wrong
Tonight we sail, on a radio song
Rescue me, should I go down

You be the girl at the high school dance
Run with me, wherever I go
Just play dumb, whatever you know

You Wouldn't Hurt Me
Composer(s): Michael Jackson
Performer(s): Patti Austin



Loving you came easily 
That it made be blind to all there was to see 
Now my heart is filled with pain 
To understand, I never will 
How could it come to be that you don't love me still? 
Now it's getting to be plain 

If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me 
If you cared about more than yourself, I bet you wouldn't go 
If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me 
If you cared about more than yourself, you wouldn't walk out the door 

Though somedays the blues was our parade 
Still we marched through all the tears we made 
Now I find it was an old game of charades...that you played 

I did my best to bring you joy 
How can you just leave me like a broken toy? 
Where's the man that once was you? 
If I could be within your mind 
I would never think to treat you this unkind 
The pain you caused will come to you 

If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me 
If you cared about more than yourself, I bet you wouldn't go 
If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me 
If you cared about more than yourself, you wouldn't walk out the door

Sweet Sir Galahad
Composer(s): Joan Baez
Performer(s): Joan Baez; Gary Scruggs



Sweet Sir Galahad
came in through the window
in the night when
the moon was in the yard
He took her hand in his
and shook the long hair
from his neck and he told her
she'd been working much too hard
It was true that ever since the day
her crazy man had passed away
to the land of poet's pride
she laughed and talked alot
with new people on the block
but always at evening time she cried

And here's to the dawn of their days

She moved her head
a little down on the bed
until it rested softly on his knee
And there she dropped her smile
and there she sighed awhile
and told him all the sadness
of those years that numbered three
Well you know I think my fate's belated
because of all the hours I waited
for the day when I'd no longer cry
I get myself to work by eight
but oh, was I born too late
and do you think I'll fail
at every single thing I try?

And here's to the dawn of their days

He just put his arm around her
and that's the way I found her
eight months later to the day
The lines of a smile erased
the tear tracks upon her face
a smile could linger, even stay
Sweet Sir Galahad went down
with his gay bride of flowers
the prince of the hours
of her lifetime

And here's to the dawn
of their days
of their days
