Ain't No Sun Since You've Been Gone Composer(s): Cornelius Grant - Sylvia Moy - Norman Whitfield Performer(s): Dusty Springfield and multiple other artists
Into my life You brought a glowing love Like a ray of sunshine From up above One day out of a clear blue sky You darkened my life with your words "goodbye" That's the day you left me for a stranger Don't you know that when you left my life Took on a change-a?
Now I'm telling you it Ain't no sun since you've been gone
There's a big black cloud hanging over my head Cloud of loneliness I feel like I'm dead Ain't no flowers blooming round here for sure Since you chose to love me no more I guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, boy You took the life from my world Crushed my dreams And I don't mean maybe, baby, baby And it ain't no sun since you've been gone
Oh, my future, my future Was as bright as the sun, yes it was I ain't got no future since you've been gone
I guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, yes you did You took the life from my world Crushed my dreams And I don't mean maybe, baby, baby It seems like night in the middle of the day Everything around me is faded and grey Cold are the days Dark creeps the night Never bringing you back into my life It ain't no sun since you've been gone
You took my sunshine away, yeah ooh, ooh, ooh You took my sunshine away, yes you did, ooh, ooh, ooh You took my sunshine away, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh You took my sunshine away, oh
When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again Composer(s): Gene Sullivan; Wayne Walker Performer(s): Merle Haggard
When my blue moon turns to gold again When the rainbow turns the clouds away When my blue moon turns to gold again You'll be back in my arms to stay
Memories that linger in my heart Memories that make my heart grow cold But someday they'll live again, sweetheart And my blue moon again will turn to gold
The lips that used to thrill me so Your kisses were meant for only me In my dreams they live again, sweetheart But my blue moon is just a memory
The castles we used to build together Were the sweetest stories ever told Maybe we will live them all again And my blue moon again will turn to gold

I don't care if the weather's fair or if skies are gray I don't frown when the rain comes down on a rainy day It may storm and thunder for the longest while Still I'll say it's a lovely day When I see my baby smile
I don't brood when the price of food goes away up high Didn't mind when I woke to find, that the town went dry Let the skies be cloudy for the longest while Blue or gray, every things O.K. When I see my baby smile
When my baby smiles at me Oh what a beautiful day All my troubles go hurrying by Just like bubbles they fly to the sky And I never ask the weather man Whether it's fair or warmer Rain or shine the weather's fine when my baby smiles
Ain't No Song Composer(s): Joey Levine - David Spinozza Performer(s): James Taylor
There ain't no melody And I can't find a harmony If there were a way to say it You know I would have played it
Well, I'm a man of few words Trying to find a rhyme And finally it occurred to me That I'm wasting my time There ain't no rhyme or reason Ain't no time or season Ain't no way around it I know I would have found it
There ain't no song in the whole wide world Could hardly sing without you There ain't no song in the whole wide world To tell you the way that I feel
Painters use their eyes To show us what they see But when that canvas dries We all see it differently
There ain't black or white There ain't no day or night There ain't no way around it You know I would have found it
No, No, No, I might as well pack it on up Not even this song's gonna tell you the way that I feel
When Mexico Gave Up the Rhumba (To Do the Rock and Roll)
When Mexico Gave Up the Rhumba (To Do the Rock and Roll) Composer(s): Gale Jones Performer(s): Mitchell Torok
Down in Mexico, at each high noon Siesta is the thing You can find me sleepin' out in the shade While the birds softly sing But from the radio, there comes a U.S. show And the disc-jockey's playin' the blues Before they know what's happened They're up and clappin' To the tune of the blue suede shoes
One, two, and then rock It's the funniest thing ever told The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba To do the rock and roll
In the middle of town, the pecker bullring stands It reaches to the sky Inside's a matador, he's got his sword in hand And a bull is fixing to die But from the phonograph, there comes a frantic sound And the sword drops from his hands The bull begins to dance, around in the dust To the beat of a picker brass band
One, two, and then rock It's the funniest thing ever told The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba To do the rock and roll
In the summertime, the tourists come Expecting to see the scenes Of the quiet places and the quiet faces They read of in magazines But in their amazement, when they find this craze Is not in the U.S. alone They used to dance `neath the stars to the Spanish guitars But now they do it to a saxophone
One, two, and then rock It's the funniest thing ever told The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba To do the rock and roll

When Love Is Young
Composer(s): Rida Johnson Young - M. Melville Ellis
Performer(s): Harry Woodruff
The beads on the wine in our glorious youth And life's full of fervor and zest And the world is made bright by the light of a smile Or the sound of the voice we love best There's a thrill of delight in the touch of her hand All the Earth's bubbling over with joy Oh! the love that we give to the girls that we love When we're boys, boys, boys
There are various way that a fellow may love And most of us sample them all And the older and stronger you are when it strikes The harder and deeper you fall But there's no love on earth that holds half the thrill No love that has half the joys As love that we give to the girls that we love When we're boys, boys, boys
When love is young in Springtime And boys are youthful, too And girls are so alluring What can a fellow do? A look, a smile, a dimple You're caught, you're captured, stung There's danger in the very air When love is young
Ain't No Mountain High Enough Composer(s): Nicholas Ashford - Valerie Simpson First release by: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
If you need me, call me No matter where you are, no matter how far Just call my name I'll be there in a hurry On that you can depend and never worry (You see, my love is alive It's like a seed that only needs the thought of you to grow So if you feel the need for company, please, my darling, let it be me I may not be able to express the depth of the love I feel for you but a writer put it very nicely when he was away from the one he loved He sat down and wrote these words)
No wind, (No wind) no rain, (no rain) Nor winter's cold Can stop me, babe (oh, babe) baby (baby) If you're my goal
No wind, no rain Can stop me, babe If you wanna go
I know, I know you must follow the sun Wherever it leads But remember If you should fall short of your desires Remember life holds for you one guarantee You'll always have me
And if you should miss my love One of these old days If you should ever miss the arms That used to hold you so close, or the lips That used to touch you so tenderly Just remember what I told you The day I set you free
Ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no valley low enough (Say it again) Ain't no river wild enough To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no valley low enough (Say it again) Ain't no river wild enough To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough Nothing can keep me To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no valley low enough (One more time) Ain't no river wild enough (Say it again) To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough Nothing can keep me To keep me from you
When Love Is Gone Composer(s): Michael Morgan; Steve Edward Nelson Performer(s): Photoglo
When love is gone I always get the feeling I can't go on, find myself dreamin' of things That could've been and all the things we never say Oh, oh, oh, when love is gone Will it ever be the same Will I go on chasing heartaches And learn to face the day When I have done what I must do Oh, I'll remember you when love is gone
Everyone's in couples as I walk alone thinkin' I'll never find another love Never know the beauty of Oh, oh, oh, when love is gone Will it ever be the same Will I go on chasing heartaches And learn to face the day When I have done what I must do Oohh-oh, I'll remember you, la-la-la....
When love is gone will it ever be the same Will I go on chasing heartaches And learn to face the day When I have done what I must do Oh, I'll remember you
Ain't No Man Righteous, No Not One Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Maria Muldaur; Jah Malla
When a man he serves the Lord, it makes his life worthwhile It don't matter 'bout his position, it don't matter 'bout his lifestyle Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none And there ain't no man righteous, no not one
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good Some like to worship on the moon, others are worshipping the sun And there ain't no man righteous, no not one
Look around, ya see so many social hypocrites Like to make rules for others while they do just the opposite
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag In a city of darkness there's no need of the sun And there ain't no man righteous, no not one
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame I never did see no fire that could put out a flame
Pull your hat down, baby, pull the wool down over your eyes Keep a-talking, baby, 'til you run right out of alibis Someday you'll account for all the deeds that you done Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one
God got the power, man has got his vanity Man gotta choose before God can set him free Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun? Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one
When I'm gone don't wonder where I be Just say that I trusted in God and that Christ was in me Say He defeated the devil, He was God's chosen Son And that there ain't no man righteous, no not one
When Love Goes Wrong Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael; Harold Adamson Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe
When love goes wrong Nothing goes right This one thing I know When love goes wrong A man takes flight And women get uppity-oh
The sun don't beam The moon don't shine The tide don't ebb and flow A clock won't strike A match won't light When love goes wrong Nothing goes right
The blues all gather round you And day is dark as night A man ain't fit to live with And a woman's sorry sight
When love goes wrong Nothing goes right When love goes wrong Nothing goes right When love goes wrong Nothing goes, nothing goes rjght A woman's a fright, a terrible sight A man goes out, gets high as a kite Love is something you just can't fight You can't fight it, honey
You can't fight it When love goes wrong, nothin' No bows, honey, just cigat bars and off Nothing goes right Crazy, Crazy oui, oui
lt's like we said You're better off dead When love has lost its glow So take this down in black and white When love goes wrong nothing goes right When love goes wrong nothing goes right Nothing goes right

Ain't no love in the heart of the city Ain't no love in the heart of town Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity, child Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around

There ain't no love in the heart of the city There ain't no love in the heart of town Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around 'cos you ain't around
When Liking Turns To Loving Composer(s): J. Fishman; K. Young Performer(s): Ronnie Dove
I hold her hand much tighter now Stars are shining brighter now and through out the day I find She's always on my mind What a wonderful, wonderful feeling When liking turns to loving
Kiss from her, means so much more Now I know what kissing for The tender smiles I use to know, now I cherish so What a wonderful, wonderful feeling When liking turns to loving

We got scalawags we got queens in drag we got pushers pimps and punks We got crips and bloods we got dykes and studs We've got junkies thieves and drunks This is where the juice got turned aloose and if you ain't caught on yet Ain't no law in California Welcome to the wild wild west
Ain't No Good Life Composer(s): Steve Gaines Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd
Ain't no good life Not the one that I lead 'Cause the more I fight the sadness, yeah It only seems the more that I grieve Well I look back on the good times As some lost part of me I wanna know, tell me why is it so Well just because I don't pray Lord, that don't mean I ain't forgiven Just 'cause I'm alive That don't mean I'm makin' a livin'
I'm gonna get myself together I'm gonna try a dyin' attempt Talkin' about the good times slippin' by Yeah I tell ya I don't even know where last month went Well I can't make no money baby Well 'cause my money's already spent And I know where it went I said it went on that damn rent Well I don't mean change, baby I mean foldin' money Well I want lovin', said I don't need a buddy I don't need nobody, now

When Julie Comes Around Composer(s): Paul Vance; Lee Pockriss Performer(s): The Cuff Links
A poem with no rhyme A clock without time A ship without sails, just drifting on the water That's just how I feel Whenever she's gone That's just how I feel My life's unreal But I go on (and on, and on...)
I wait till Julie comes around, and sings a happy song of summer And lifts my spirit up, and fills my foolish mind with wonder She smiles a gentle smile And suddenly I get that feeling, and then I'm inside out with love 'Cause Julie's come around again
She's just like a bird She follows the sun She spread out her wings And once again she leaves me It's always the same I'm broken in two But after awhile I always know What I must do...
I wait till Julie comes around, and sings a happy song of summer And lifts my spirit up, and fills my foolish mind with wonder She smiles a gentle smile And suddenly I get that feeling, and then I'm inside out with love 'Cause Julie's come around again
When Julie comes around and sings a happy song of summer And lifts my spirit up, and fills my foolish mind with wonder ...
