Matthew:

Who Would Have Thought 
That One Little Kiss 
Soft And Sweet 
From The Lips Of A Lovely Girl 
Would Change My Life? 
But By My Life 
It Will! 

After Today, 
Nothing Will Be The Same Again! 
After Today
I'll Make My Claim To Fame 
An' Then 
The Grass Will Be Greener  
An' The Air Will Be Cleaner 
An' My Life Will Be Serener 
Than Heaven Knows When! 
Heaven Knows When! 

After Today
I Shall Have Bid My Fears Goodbye! 
After Today 
I Shall Have No More Tears To Cry! 
I'll Learn To Live With 
Laughter To Stay 
After Today! 

After Today
Nothin' Will Be The Way It Was! 
After Today 
I'll Say Oh, What A Day It Was! 
My Heart Will Be Lighter 
An' My Smile Will Be Brighter 
An' I'll Be Twice The Fighter 
Than Ever I Was! 
Clever Because 

After Today 
I Shall Have Bid My Fears Farewell! 
After Today 
I Shall Have No More Tears To Quell! 
I'll Learn To Live With 
Laughter To Stay! 
After The Tears 
Comes The Laughter 
After Today!

Whatever Happened To Randolph Scott
Composer(s): Don Reid; Harold Reid
Performer(s): The Statler Brothers



Everybody knows when you go to the show
You can't take the kids along
You've gotta read the paper
And know the code of GPG and R and X
And you gotta know what the movie's about
Before you even go
Tex Ritter's gone and Disney's dead
And the screen is filled with sex

Whatever happened to Randolph Scott
Ridin' the train alone
Whatever happened to Gene and Tex
And Roy and Rex, The Durango Kid
Oh, whatever happened to Randolph Scott
His horse plain as could be
Whatever happened to Randolph Scott
Has happened to the best of me

Everybody's tryin' to make a comment
About our doubts and fears
True Grit's the only movie
I've really understood in years
You gotta take your analyst along
To see if it's fit to see
Whatever happened to Randolph Scott
Has happened to the industry

Whatever happened to Johnny Mack Brown
And Alan Rocky Lane
Whatever happened to Lash LaRue
I'd love to see them again
Whatever happened to Smiley Burnette
Tim Holt and Gene Autry
Whatever happened to all of these
Has happened to the best of me
Whatever happened to Randolph Scott
Has happened to the industry

After This Love
Composer(s): Sheppard Soloman - John Clifford - Larry Tag
Performer(s): Cliff Richard



I don't tell the future, but I can't care
'Cause when I lay beside you, it's enough that you're there
Enough that you're there
Just laying on our backs and falling in love
What about tomorrow?
What about the next day?
What about the day after, the day after that, baby? 
What about after this love's gone?
Is there a better love coming on?
Is there a place in your heart for me?
Is there a chance that we can't see?
After this love is gone 

If love was money we're spending, like a millionaire
There could come a time when love is no longer there
It's no longer there
If we both come to our senses will we still be in love?
Tell me, what about tomorrow?
What about the next day?
What about the day after, the day after that, baby? 

What about after this love's gone?
Is there a better love coming on?
Is there a place in your heart for me?
Is there a chance that we can't see?
After this love is gone 

Everything else comes down eventually
And nothing lasts forever
Or does it just keep getting better? 

If we both come to our senses will we still be in love?
Tell me, what about tomorrow?
What about the next day?
What about the day after, the day after that? 

What about after this love's gone?
Is there a better love coming on?
Is there a place in your heart for me?
Is there a chance that we can't see? 

What about after this love's gone?
Is there a better love coming on?
Is there a place in your heart for me?
Is there a chance that we can't see?
After this love is gone
After it's gone
When it's gone 

Whatever Happened To Peace On Earth?
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
Performer(s): Willie Nelson



There's so many things going on in the world
Babies dying, mothers crying
How much oil is one human life worth
And what ever happened to peace on earth

We believe everything that they tell us
They're gonna’ kill us
So we gotta’ kill them first
But I remember a commandment
Thou shall not kill
How much is that soldier’s life worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we’ve been told from our birth
Hell they won’t lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

So I guess it’s just
Do unto others before they do it to you
Let’s just kill em’ all and let God sort em’ out
Is this what God wants us to do

And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we’ve been told from our birth
Hell they won’t lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liars word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

Now you probably won’t hear this on your radio
Probably not on your local TV
But if there’s a time, and if you’re ever so inclined
You can always hear it from me
How much is one picker’s word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

But don’t confuse caring for weakness
You can’t put that label on me
The truth is my weapon of mass protection
And I believe truth sets you free

And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we’ve been told from our birth
Hell they won’t lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liars word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

After The Waltz Is Over 
Composer(s): Mel Tormé - Bobby "BW" Wells
Performer(s): Mel Tormé & George Shearing



After the waltz is over
After the music ends
After I held you so close in my arms
We’ll be much more than friends
After the waltz is over
All conversation dies
What could our lips say
That we haven’t said with our eyes

I could waltz through life with you

We’ll make wedding bells chime
In three-quarter time

I don’t care if the party’s ending
Or if the clock’s striking one
I never dreamed when we danced at the start
One little waltz could go straight to my heart
After the waltz is over
We’ll find that love has begun

I don’t care if the party’s ending
Or if the clock’s striking one
I never dreamed when we danced at the start
One little waltz could go straight to my heart
Give me a little house and
Let me have you for my spouse and
Once we cadenza by Strauss and
Let me go waltzing through life

Whatever Happened To Old Fashioned Love?
Composer(s): Lewis Anderson
Performer(s): Daniel O'Donnell; B.J. Thomas



We live in the modern age
Where love is fast like a turning page
In a magazine, we've hardly seen
The friends we used to know
They disappear, they come and go
Like the times we've had
It's kind of sad
 
Whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would see you through
The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew
Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would last through the years
Through the trials
Through the smiles
Through the tears
 
Today is all we've planned
We say tomorrow we'll understand
If it all should end
We'd be alone again
 
Oh, whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would see you through
The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew
Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would last through the years
Through the trials
Through the smiles 
Through the tears
 
For now the tenderness
Has been replaced
With something less
And it's hard to find
What we left behind
 
Oh, whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would see you through
The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew
Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would last through the years
Through the trials
Through the smiles
Through the tears

After The Thunder 
Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen



An echo fades of sounds once heard
By thousands brought together for
His ringing voice, a soul that stirred
The faithful to a mighty roar

For twenty years upon the stage
For twenty years upon the stage
The passion deep within his soul
Brought forth the anger and the rage
His vision locked upon one goal

The promises of rock and roll could
Break the chains upon his life
Guitar in hand he vowed he would
Be free from pain and inner strife

He shook the rafters in the halls
And brought the faithful to their feet
His river coursed through mighty walls
Across this land, down every street

With flag unfurled he took the word
Across the seas to hungry youth
Who raised their hands when e'er they heard
His cries for faith, and hope, and truth

Today he stands with inner peace
A man content with home and health
Upon his brow a jagged crease
A symbol of success and wealth

The thunder of his younger days
Has passed, and now his words reveal
A calmer soul in many ways
Fulfilled with satisfactions real

His arms upraised against the light
He stands alone, his eyes look toward
The ground below, a bird in flight
Still searching for his true reward

His mission done, he finds retreat
With children and a loving wife
His body tired from the heat
The price he pays for touring life

But deep within the longings stir
The music runs within him still
His passions for the times that were
Are stronger than his iron will

And all of us who know the man
Will come together when he cries
The message we all understand
The thunder in us never dies

Whatever Happened To Benny Santini?
Composer(s): Chris Rea
Performer(s): Chris Rea



They say his chances could not have been better
All the promise of a July sun in the morning sky
Laughing at the peering faces
From the windows of a limousine
Caviar with the A & R and still only in his teens
So whatever happened?

I can see him now, his face lit up in neon
One hand up in the air as he turns towards the crowd
His songs of silver arrows they tried to roll into gold
With diamond tips from painted lips
Designed and ready to be sold

They say he could not fall of
They say he could not fail
The wealth and fame would fire his flame
Just as soon as his ship set sail
So whatever happened?

Whatever happened to Benny Santini?
Whatever happened to the guy on the wall?
Where did he go to if he could not fall of
They tell you they don't know
They don't know at all

After The Thrill Is Gone
Composer(s): Glenn Frey - Don Henley
First release by: Eagles - 1975



Same dances in the same old shoes 
Some habits that you just can't lose 
There's no telling what a man might lose
After the thrill is gone 

The flame rises but it soon descends 
Empty pages and a frozen pen 
You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends 
After the thrill is gone, oh, 
After the thrill is gone 

What can you do when your dreams come true 
And it's not quite like you planned? 
What have you done to be losing the one 
You held it so tight in your hand well 

Time passes and you must move on, 
Half the distance takes you twice as long 
So you keep on singing for the sake of the song 
After the thrill is gone 
After the thrill is gone 

You're afraid you might fall out of fashion 
And you're feeling cold and small 
Any kind of love without passion 
That ain't no kind of lovin' at all, well 

Same dances in the same old shoes 
You get too careful with the steps you choose 
you don't care about winning but you don't want to lose 
After the thrill is gone 
After the thrill is gone 
After the thrill is gone, oh 
After the thrill is gone 

Whatever Gets You Thru The Night

After The Storm
Composer(s): Gene Clark - Pat Robinson - John York
Performer(s): The Byrds



Words that you said
Baby what do you want
After you left
Baby what did you want

While all along
It was there in a song that you love
After the storm
Baby what will you want

Reasonable time
Baby that's all I need
Just time enough
Babe for you to agree

Where did we go wrong
Or were we right all the time
After the storm
Baby will you be mine?

Deeply in love we fell (In love we fell)
Into a magic-spell (A magic spell)
Deep as a wishing well
Only the time will tell

Where did we go wrong
Or were we right all the time
After the storm
Baby will you be mine?

Sheltered and warm
Though the cold winds may blow
Make up your mind
Baby let our love grow

There all along
In the words of a song that you love
After the storm
Will you know what you want?
After the storm
Baby what will you want?

After The Party's Over
Composer(s): Paul Brady
Performer(s): Paul Brady



How does the world keep turning?
How does a feeling grow?
How does a love stay burning
After the first hot glow?

Whoever said, "When a boy meets a girl
It's written in Heaven above"
Must've been mixing up loving
With being in love

After the party's over
Can a love go on?
Can a love stay strong
When the dancers are drifting apart?

How can we two discover
How to carry on
Living the same love song?
What makes good love go wrong
When two hearts belong to each other?

When is a dream 'just dreaming'?
When should a lover go?
When is a lie worth living?
Baby, I need to know

Somewhere way back
In the darkness of time
Somebody could not be strong
Now when we look
For a world to believe in
It's gone, it's gone

Repeat Chorus

Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get
Composer(s): Tony Hester
Performer(s): The Dramatics;
and various other artists



Some people are made of plastic
And you know some people are made of wood
Some people have hearts of stone
Some people are up to no good
But baby I'm for real 
I'm as real as real can get
If what you're looking for is real loving 
Then what you see is what you get

What you see is what you get
What you see is what you get
I said what you see is what you get now baby
And the real thing is the best thing yet
You know some people 
Are made of lies to bring you down
And shame your name
But baby, I have good intentions 
Cause breaking hearts just ain't my game
All I want to do is love you 
And sugar I won't pin you with regret
If what you're looking for is real loving
Then what you see is what you get

After The Lovin'
Composer(s): Richie Adams - Alan Bernstein - Richard Ziegler
Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck



So I sing you to sleep
After the lovin'
With a song I just wrote yesterday
And I hope you can hear
What the words and the music have to say
It's so hard to explain
Everything that I'm feelin'
Face to face I just seem to go dry
But I love you so much
That the sound of your voice can get me high
Thanks for takin' me
On a one way trip to the sun
And thanks for turnin' me
Into someone

So I sing you to sleep
After the lovin'
I brush back the hair from your eyes
And the love on your face
Is so real that it makes me want to cry
And I know that my song
Isn't sayin' anything new
Oh, but after the lovin' 
I'm still in love with you

So I sing you to sleep
After the lovin'
I brush back the hair from your eyes
And the love on your face
Is so real that it makes me want to cry
And I know that my song
Isn't sayin' anything new
Oh, but after the lovin'
I'm still in love with you
Yes, after the lovin'
I'm still in love with you
Hmmm, after the lovin'
I'm still in love with you

Covered by multiple other artists



For awhile, to love was all we could do 
We were young and we knew 
In our eyes were alive 
Deep inside we knew our love was true 
For awhile, we paid no mind to the past 
We knew love would last 
Every night, something right 
Would invite us to begin the day

Something happened along the way 
What used to be happy was sad 
Something happened along the way 
And yesterday was all we had 

And, oh, after the love has gone 
How could you lead me on 
And not let me stay around? 
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone 
What used to be right is wrong 
Can love that’s lost be found? 

For awhile, to love each other with all 
We would ever need 
Love was strong for so long 
Never knew that what was 
Wrong, oh, baby, wasn’t right 
We tried to find what we had 
Till sadness was all we shared 
We were scared 
This affair would lead our love into 

Something happened along the way 
Yesterday was all we had 
Something happened along the way 
What used to be happy is sad 
Something happened along the way 
Yesterday was all we had 
And, oh, after the love has gone

And not let me stay around?

What?
Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
Performer(s): The Move



What is that strange air in the sky
Why should a strange star pass me by

How can you congratulate the people who destroyed the piece of mind
the silly people just like you and better too
How can you keep turning when the overture is burning on the faces 
of the people in the churches of the land

That's all a way that I cut from the lives
The day has come at last

People that cry in the boulevard
Their eyes are blind they cry so hard

How can you congratulate the people who destroyed the piece of mind
the silly people just like you and better too
How can you keep turning when the overture is burning on the faces 
of the people in the churches of the land

That's all it seems, there is only one dream
The day has come at last

That's all it seems, there is only one dream
The day has come at last

What you have done makes me ashamed
I'll blow it up and start again

How can you congratulate the people who destroyed the piece of mind
the silly people just like you and better too
How can you keep turning when the overture is burning in the faces 
of the people in the churches of the land

That's all it seems, there is only one dream
The day has come at last
