When I Stop Loving You Composer(s): Joseph Elias Performer(s): Paul Anka
When I stop loving you, baby That'll be the day That'll be the day When I stop loving you, baby That'll be the day That'll be the day
The day the world stops going 'round And today my heartbeat starts to pound When I stop loving you, baby That'll be the day
When you stop loving me, baby That'll be the day When you stop loving me, baby That'll be the day
The day my heart would ache and break The day there'd be no wedding cake When you stop loving me, baby That'll be the day That'll be the day
Yes, I'll stop loving you I'll say that we're through When earth and skies disappear But just as long as there's an earth And as long as there's a sky I'll always love you dear
If you should say goodbye, baby That'll be the day That'll be the day
If you should say goodbye, baby That'll be the day That'll be the day
The day that tear drops from my eyes It fell like raindrops from the skies If you should say goodbye, baby That'll be the day That'll be the day
Yes, I'll stop loving you I'll say that we're through When earth and skies disappear But just as long as there's an earth And as long as there's a sky I'll always love you dear
If you should say goodbye, baby That'll be the day That'll be the day
If you should say goodbye, baby That'll be the day That'll be the day
The day that tear drops from my eyes It fell like raindrops from the skies If you should say goodbye, baby That'll be the day That'll be the day That'll be the day That'll be the day
Ain't Gonna Cry No More Composer(s): David Coverdale - Micky Moody Performer(s): Whitesnake; The Company of Snakes; M3
Rising with the morning sun I turn to greet the dawn Knowing I must face another day Sleepless night behind me Just a memory of pain My heart has always been a cross to bear Lord I know the sunshine But, I feel the tears of rain Falling down to wash my sins away I'll try, hard to remember So I won't be fooled again Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today All around me, shadows fall Tho' day has just begun I realise I'm on my own again Memories of broken dreams As distant as the sun Are drifting like an echo in the wind Lord, I know the sunshine But, I feel the tears of rain Falling down to wash my sins away I'll try, hard to remember So I won't be fooled again Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today Babe, I thought about it But, it just ain't done good You hold my heart and soul within your hand All the time, you're in my mind I never thought you could be so blind Maybe someday I will understand Lord, I know the sun shine But I feel the tears of rain Falling down to wash my sins away I'll try hard to remember So I won't be fooled again Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today, no more Hey, mama you drive me crazy Knowing you're my heart's desire Why'd you go and hang me up this way You've given me love, given me love Now tell me what you were thinking of Why'd you go and steal my soul away Lord I know the sunshine But, I feel the tears of rain Falling down to wash my sins away I'll try hard to remember So I won't be fooled again Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today I ain't gonna cry no more
Lord I know the sunshine But, I feel the tears of rain Falling down to wash my sins away I'll try hard to remember So I won't be fooled again Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today Ain't gonna cry no more Hey, I ain't gonna cry no more today...

The worst that I've ever been hurt In my life The first time I ever have Wanted to die Was the night when you told me You loved someone new And you asked me if I could forget
When I stop dreaming That's when I'll stop loving you
You may teach the flowers To bloom in the snow You may take a pebble And teach it to grow You may teach all the raindrops To return to the clouds But you can't teach my heart To forget

When I See You Smile Composer(s): Diane Warren Performer(s): Ringo Starr; and various other artists
Sometimes I wonder If I'd ever make it through Through this world without having in you I just wouldn't have a clue
'Cause sometimes it seems like this world's closing in on me And there's no way of breaking free and then I see you reach for me
Sometimes I wanna give up wanna give in I wanna quit the fight And then I see you baby and everything's alright, everything's alright
When I see you smile I can face the world Oh you know I can do anything When I see you smile I see a ray of light Oh I see it shining right through the rain When I see you smile Baby when I see you smile at me
Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do What the touch of your hand can do It's like nothing that I ever knew
And when the rain is falling, I don't feel it Cause you're here with me now I wanna ask you baby It's all I¹ll ever need, All I'll ever need
When I see you smile I can face the world Oh you know I can do anything When I see you smile I see a ray of light Oh I see it shining right through the rain When I see you smile baby Baby when I see you smile at me
Sometimes I wanna give up I wanna give in I wanna quit the fight Then one look at you baby And everything's alright Hey everything's alright It's alright
When I see you smile I can face the world Oh you know I can do anything When I see you smile I see a ray of light Oh I see it shining right through the rain When I see you smile Yeah I can face the world Oh you know I can do anything now

When I See An Elephant Fly Composer(s): Oliver Wallace; Ned Livingston Performer(s): Cliff Edwards; and various other artists
I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band I saw a needle that winked its eye But I think I will have seen everything When I see an elephant fly
I saw a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring I saw a polka-dot railroad tie But I think I will have seen everything When I see an elephant fly
I seen a clothes horse he r'ar up and buck And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck I didn't see that I only heard But just to be sociable I'll take your word I heard a fireside chat I saw a baseball bat And I just laughed till I thought I'd die But I'd been done seen about everything When I see an elephant fly
I even heard a chocolate drop I went into a store, saw a bicycle shop You can't deny the things you see but I know there's certain things that just can't be The other day by chance, saw an old barn dance And I just laughed til I thought I'd die But I think I will have seen everything when I see an elephant fly
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
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

These times are troubled and these times are good And theyre 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 Nothins ever gonna change the way that I feel The way it is, is the way that it was

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

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
