Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up on Love
Composer(s): Stevie Ray Vaughan
Performer(s): Stevie Ray Vaughan
and multiple other artists



I ain't gonna give up on love
Love ain't gonna give up on me
I ain't gonna give up on love
Love ain't gonna give up on me
Every tear I cried
Only washed away the fear inside
I just ain't gonna give up on love

Every beat of my heart
Pounds with joy and not with pain
Every beat of my heart
Pounds with joy and not with pain
All those painful memories
They only brought me to my knees
'Cause I was giving up on love

Little Johnny Taylor told me so, so long ago
All about the midnight crying, oh lord
All the cheating and lying
And about the price that must be paid
'Cause if we gave up on love
Well, love will surely have its day
If we don't give up on love

I ain't gonna give up on love
Love ain't gonna give up on me
I ain't gonna give up on love
Love ain't gonna give up on me
Every time I try
Lord, it just won't let me be

When I Saw You
Composer(s): Phil Spector
Performer(s): The Ronettes



When I saw you, that's when I knew 
I'd lose my mind over you 

When I held you, that's when I knew 
I'd lose my mind over you 

When I saw you, I realized somethin' 
I didn't realize 
You've got somethin', you've got somethin' 
That makes me say "Child, child, child" 

When I saw you, that's when I knew 
I'd lose my mind, lose my mind 
I'd lose my mind over you

Ain't Going Down
Composer(s): Eric Clapton
Performer(s): Eric Clapton



It ain't no big deal, we're all lucky to be alive
I myself don't believe in luck, or taking chances I will survive
Every move I make, every twist and every turn
You scandalize and humble me, I may be slow but I will learn

'Cause I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore

If I had my way, I would probably just sit and stare
Watch the TV or read a book, I'd have no reason to be aware
But I ain't got time, I just could not live that way
I've got to step outside myself, I've still got something left to say

I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore

'Cause I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore

Channeled in my groove, part of another space and time
Please allow me to introduce another very good friend of mine
Some call him fear, some call him righteousness
I myself ain't clear and you can't force me to make a guess

When I Saw Sweet Nellie Home
(aka "I Was Seeing Nellie Home" or ""Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party"
Composer(s): John Fletcher; Frances Kyle
Performer(s): Lester Flatt;
and various other artists



In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight fell
Hush'd the sound of daylight bustle
Closed the pink eyed pimpernell
As adown the moss grown wood path
Where the cattle love to roam
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight shone
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

When the autumn tinged the greenwood
Turning all its leaves to the gold
In the lawn by elders shaded
I my love to Nellie told
As we stood together gazing
On the star bespangled dome
How I blessed the august evening
When I saw sweet Nellie home

In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight shone
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

White hairs mingled with my tresses
Furrows steal upon my brow
But a love smile cheers and blesses
Life's declining moments now
Matron in the snowy kerchief
Closer to my bosom come
Tell me do'st thou still remember
When I saw sweet Nellie home

In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight shone
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

Ain't Even Done With The Night
Composer(s): John Cougar Mellencamp
Performer(s): John Mellencamp
and multiple other artists



Well, our hearts beat like thunder
I don't know why they don't explode
You got your hands in my back pockets
And Sam Cooke's singin' on the radio
You say that I'm the boy who can make it all come true
Well, I'm tellin' ya that I don't know if I know what to do

You say that's all right, hold tight
Well, I don't even know if I'm doin' this right
Well all right, hold tight
We can stay out all day or we can run around all night
Well all night, all night

Well, it's time to go home
And I ain't even done with the night

Well, I don't know no good come-ons
And I don't know no cool lines
I feel the heat of your frustration
I know it's burnin' you up deep down inside
You say that I"m the boy who can make it all come true
Well, I'm tellin' ya that I don't know if I know what to do

You say that's all right, hold tight
Well, I don't even know if I'm doin' this right
Well all right, hold tight
We can stay out all day or we can run around all night
Well all night, all night

When I Said I Do
Composer(s): Clint Black
Performer(s): Clint Black;
and various other artists



These times are troubled and these times are good
And they’re always gonna be, they rise and they fall
We take ’em all the way that we should
Together you and me forsaking them all
Deep in the night and by the light of day
It always looks the same, true love always does
And here by your side, or a million miles away
Nothin’s ever gonna change the way that I feel
The way it is, is the way that it was

When I said I do, I meant that I will ’til the end of all time
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
That’s what I had in mind when I said I do

Well this old world keeps changin’, and the world stays the same
For all who came before, and it goes hand and hand
Only you and I can undo all that we became
That makes us so much more, than a woman and a man
And after everything that comes and goes around
Has only passed us by, here alone in our dreams
I know there’s a lonely heart in every lost and found
But forever you and I will be the ones
Who found out what forever means

When I said I do, I meant that I will ’til the end of all time
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
That’s what I had in mind when I said I do
Truer than true, you know that I’ll always be there for you
That’s what I had in mind, that’s what I had in mind
When I said I do

Ain't Even Close
Composer(s): J. Brown - D.J. Brown - Duane Roland - R. West
Performer(s): Molly Hatchet



Oh yea!!!!
Well I’ve had my share of lovers
And I’m damn sure I had it all
If I had to count the times I’ve broken through
I couldn’t even count ’em all
But now your telling folks you’ve got me
Into thinking that your the most
But if your planning on the future, honey
You ain’t even close..nooo

I’ve learned to take the punches
And I’ve bet down on my chips
I’ve learned to shoot
Straight little darlin’
Straight from the hip
So baby save yourself some trouble
Putting your world in my hand
You know I’ll never settle down
I’m just ain’t that kind of man.

No more, I’ve been stood up, knocked down
And had my time to boast
But if your thinkin’ that you got this old boy
Honey, no you ain’t even close
Oh no baby

No more, I’ve been stood up, knocked down
And had my time to boast
But if your thinkin’ that you got this old boy
Honey, no you ain’t even close
No you ain’t even close
Oh see that light and feel the thunder, listen to it rain
You know the time
The time I wonder
If it’s calling out my name
If I know anything about you baby
But this is what I’ve got to say
If I got to make the change with you
Then I have to be on my way

No more, I’ve been stood up, knocked down
And had my time to boast
But if your thinkin’ that you got this old boy
Hell
I said no, I’ve been stood up, knocked down
And had my time to boast
But if your thinkin’ that you got this old boy by the hammer, honey
No you ain’t even close
No you ain’t even close
No no no
You ain’t even close
No..........

When I Paint My Masterpiece
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan;
and various other artists



Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble
Ancient footprints are everywhere
You can almost think that you're seein' double
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room
Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece
She promised that she'd be right there with me
When I paint my masterpiece

Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum
Dodging lions and wastin' time
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em
Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece

Sailin' 'round the world in a dirty gondola
Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!

I left Rome and landed in Brussels
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside
Newspapermen eating candy
Had to be held down by big police
Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent
When I paint my masterpiece

Ainsley's Song
Composer(s): Cyril Jordan
Performer(s): The Flamin' Groovies



I'm all in my head
I been so far away
And all of my friends
Don't believe what I say
It's happened again
Just like yesterday
And you know it won't be long
It just goes on and on
Always singin' Ainsley's song
Saw your face again
And I thought about the times
Oh that we had
They're always on my mind
So very long ago
Way back in the past
And now that I'm old
I didn't know what I had
And you know it won't be long
It just goes on and on
Always singin' Ainsley's song
Ainsley's song
Can't be in your arms
I just have to turn away
It does so much harm
If I try to stay
This name in my head
It just won't go away
And all that I said
Goes on from day to day
And you know it won't be long
It just goes on and on
Always singin' Ainsley's song

When I Need You
Composer(s): Albert Hammond; Carole Bayer Sager
Performer(s): Leo Sayer;
and various other artists



When I need you
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heart beat away

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I wont be traveling for ever
It's cold out, but hold out and do like I do

When I need you
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you babe
It's only a heart beat away

It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey, that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do
Oh I need you

When I need you
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

When I need you
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heart beat away

Aimless Lady
Composer(s): Mark Farner
Performer(s): Grand Funk Railroad; Suck; Pat Travers



Aimless lady, is this your home town?
Tell me baby, tell me where you're bound
When our eyes met, you were in the very first row
I couldn't even guess your name, but I just had to know

You were meant for me, would you grab your coat and flee?
You were a mystery, but you just had to be ...
An aimless lady
Aimless lady
Aimless lady

Should I try, and satisfy, you lady?
Ain't no lie, now we'll get by, my baby
If you can stand, a real good man, now lady
Take my hand, and understand, me baby

Take your time, you're doing fine, now lady
You got yours, and I got mine, now baby
Can you see, the way to be, now lady
Stay with me, and set me free, now baby

Aimless lady
Aimless lady
Aimless lady

You're mine aimless lady
Yeah, aimless lady
You're mine aimless lady
Mine, aimless lady
Oooo ...

When I Met You 
Composer(s): Jim Paredes
Performer(s): Martin Nievera;
and various other artists



There I was 
An empty piece of a shell
Just minding my own world 
Without even knowing 
What love and life is all about 

Then you came 
You brought me out of a shell 
You gave the world to me 
And before I knew it 
There I was in love with you

Refrain 
You gave me the reason for my being 
And I love what I'm feeling 
You gave me a meaning to my life 
Yes, I'm gone beyond existing 
And it all began, when I met you...

I love the touch of your hair 
And when I look in your eyes 
I just know 
I know I'm on to something good 

And I'm sure 
My love for you will endure 
Your love will light up my world 
And take care all my cares 
Away where they can't bother me 

(Repeat Refrain) 

Chorus
You taught me how to love 
You showed me a tomorrow and today my love 
That's diferrent from the yesterday I knew 
You taught me to love and darling I will always 
Cherish you today, tomorrow and forever 

And I'm sure when the evening comes around 
I know we'll be making love like never before 
My love who could ask for more 

(Repeat Refrain) 

.....................when I met you 

(Repeat Refrain) 

When I met you

When I Marry You
Composer(s): Albert Gumble; Alfred Bryan



Two sweet-hearts strolling 'mid roses in June
Two little sweet hearts just learning to spoon
She rolls her eyes, he softly sighs
"I will marry you, only you
When we are married we'll live love and dream
Life wi'l be sunshine and peaches and cream" 
But she murmurs: "Joe dear, I first want to know, dear
So tell me true"

Man in the moon seemed to look down and smile
Boy drooped his head and was silent a while
He stole a kiss, then whispered this 
I'll be always near, never fear
It is so easy to be true to you 
Maidens like you in this world are so few 
But what worries you, dear, will worry me too, dear 
So tell me true"

"Will you love me all the time
Summer time, winter time
Will you love me rain or shine, as I love you 
Will you kiss me every day
Will you miss me when away 
Will you stay at home and play, when I marry you"

Aimer Vivre
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Johnny Hallyday



Aimer vivre
C'est écrit dans tes yeux
Quand tu parles de ta vie
C'est écrit dans tes rêves
Dans tes moindres envie
Cette force qui te porte
J'en ai besoin aussi
C'est écrit quand tu danses
Quand tu fermes les yeux
Rien n'a plus d'importance
Rien de ce qu'on avoue
Si c'est ton corps qui bouge
C'est ton cœur qui fait tout

Je veux te voir changer
Je veux te voir bouger
Je veux te voir crier ton plaisir
Je veux te voir vibrer
Et te voir te lever
je veux te voir crier tes désirs
Aimer vivre

Aimer vivre
C'est écrit dans tes mains
Quand elles suivent ma voix
C'est écrit sur ta bouche
Quand je vois ton sourire
Comme tu peux partir loin
Quand la musique est là
Tu peux mourir demain
Quand la musique est là

Je veux te voir changer
Je veux te voir bouger
Je veux te voir crier ton plaisir
Je veux te voir vibrer
Et te voir te lever
Je veux te voir crier tes désirs
Aimer vivre

Aimer vivre
Aimer
Donner
Vibrer
Tanguer
Crier
Hurler
Aimer
Aimer vivre

Je veux te voir te lever
Je veux te voir vibrer
Je veux te voir vivre
Je veux te voir aimer

When I Marry Mr. Snow (aka Mr. Snow)
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Barbara Ruick;
and various other artists



Carrie:
Julie, I've been bustin' to tell you somethin' lately

Julie:
You have?

Carrie:
The reason I didn't care to tell you before is 
'cause you didn't have a fella of your own 
Hmm hmm... 
But now that you got one, I can tell you about mine!

Julie:
I'm glad you gotta fella, Carrie!

Carrie:
His name is Mister Snow
And an upstandin' man is he
He comes home ev'ry night in his round-bottomed boat
With a net full of herring from the sea

An almost perfect beau
As refined as a girl could wish
But he spends so much time in his round-bottomed boat
That he can't seem to lose the smell of fish

The fust time he kissed me, the whiff from his clo'es
Knocked me flat on the floor of the room
But now that I love him, my heart's in my nose
And fish is my fav'rite perfume

Last night he spoke quite low
And a fair-spoken man is he
And he said, "Miss Pipperidge, I'd like it fine
If I could be wed with a wife
And, indeed, Miss Pipperidge, if you'll be mine
I'll be yours fer the rest of my life"

Next moment we were promised
And now my mind's in a maze
Fer all I ken do is look forward to
That wonderful day of days...

When I marry Mister Snow
The flowers'll be buzzin' with the hum of bees
The birds'll make racket in the churchyard trees
When I marry Mister Snow

Then it's off to home we'll go
And both of us'll look a little dreamy-eyed
A drivin' to a cottage by the oceanside
Where the salty breezes blow

He'll carry me 'cross the threshold
And I'll be as meek as a lamb
Then he'll set me on my feet
And I'll say kinda sweet, "Well, Mister Snow, here I am!"

Then I'll kiss him so he'll know
That evry'thin'll be as right as right ken be
A-livin' in a cottage by the sea with me
For I love that Mister Snow

That young seafarin',
Bold and darin',
Big bewhiskered, overbearin'
Darling, Mister Snow!


Reprise:

Girls:
When you walk down the isle all the heads will turn
What a rustlin' of bonnets there'll be
And you'll try to smile, but your cheeks will burn
And your eyes'll get so dim you can hardly see

With your orange blossoms quiverin' in your hand
And you'll stumble to the spot where the parson is
Then your finger will be ringed with a golden band
And you'll know the feller's yours, and you are his

Carrie:
When I marry Mister Snow
The flowers'll be humming with the hum of bees
The birds'll make a racket in the churchyard trees
When I marry Mister Snow

Then it's off to home we'll go
And both of us'll look a little dreamy-eyed
A drivin' to a cottage by the oceanside
Where the salty breezes blow

He'll carry me across the threshold
And I'll be as meek as a lamb
Then he'll set me on my feet
And I'll say kind of sweet, "Well Mister Snow, here I am!"

Enoch Snow:
Then I'll kiss her so she'll know
That ev'rything'll be as right as right can be
A livin' in a cottage by the sea with me
Where the salty breezes blow

I love Miss Pipperidge
And I aim to Make Miss Pipperidge
Change her name to
Missus Enoch Snow

Neapolitan Nights
Composer(s): John Stepan Zamecnik - Harry D. Kerr
Performer(s): Harry Reser
and multiple other artists



Twilight is falling in fair Italy stars kiss the sky
Night stealing near like a soft melody bids day good bye
There as I lingered long, entered my heart this song

Nights of romance in a world made of dreams
Always 'tis June, nights that entrance
And for ever it seems, hearts are in tune
Softly my reverie whispers this melody

Oh, nights of splendor, your charms so tender
Make love surrender till stars are gone
Oh, nights of laughter, tho' tears come after
Love's regrets, love forgets when comes the dawn
Fair Naples sleeping, a vigil keeping
While stars are weeping as they depart
Dawn bells are pealing, while night is stealing
To its nest, lulled to rest within my heart

When I Loved Her
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Performer(s): Roy Drusky
and multiple other artists



Well, she didn't look as pretty as some others I have known
And she wasn't good at conversation when we were alone
But she had a way of making me believe that I belonged
And it felt like coming home, when I found her
She seemed to be so proud of me just walking holding hands
And she didn't think that money was the measure of a man
And we seemed to fit together when I held her in my arms
And it left me feelin' warm, when I loved her

'Cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun
And she made what I was doin' seem worth while
It's the closest thing to living that I guess I've ever known
And it made me wanna smile, when I loved her

I know some of us were born to cast our fortunes to the winds
And I guess I'm bound to travel down a road that never ends
But I know I'll never look upon the likes of her again
And I'll never understand why I lost her

'Cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun
And she made what I was doin' seem worth while
It's the closest thing to living that I guess I've ever known
And it made me wanna smile, when I loved her

A secret, I know a secret
A story I'll never tell
About two sweethearts
Who love each other
He is my best friend
She is his girl

The first time I saw her
I couldn't resist her
Her beauty gave me a thrill
She was so lovely
And I adored her
I fell in love with
My best friend's girl

The first time I saw her
I couldn't resist her
Her beauty gave me a thrill
She was so lovely
And I adored her
I fell in love with
My best friend's girl

And that's my secret
Yes, it's my secret
Nobody knows it
No one but I
And I will love her
Yes, I will love her
And it's my secret
Until I die

Performer(s): The Mills Brothers;
and various other artists



I lost the sunshine and roses
I lost the heavens so blue
I lost the beautiful rainbow
I lost the morning dew

I lost the angel who gave me
summer the whole winter through
I lost the gladness that turned into sadness
When I lost you
