A Lot Of Love ((aka Ain't That A Lot Of Love (by Sam & Dave) - 1968)) Composer(s): Homer Banks, Deanie Parker First release by: Homer Banks - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
I know the desert could hold all the love that I feel in my heart for you Just like the ocean that started to roll, my love it could be coming to you Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours, it wouldn't need a fire I can't think of a word that describes you better than indescribable Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the bees only knew how sweet you were, darling, they would shut up their honey comb If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is, they'd pack up and fly away Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
When The Rain Begins To Fall Performer(s): Jermaine Jackson
Like the sand can seep right through your fingers so can all your days As those days go by
you'll have me there to help you find the way The way I feel with you I know it's got to last forever And when the rain begins to fall you'll ride my rainbow in the sky And I will catch you if you fall you'll never have to ask me why And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright
Time goes by so fast You've got to have a dream To just hold on All my dreams of love began With the reality of you You and I believe That all our dreams will last forever And when the rain begins to fall you'll ride my rainbow in the sky And I will catch you if you fall you'll never have to ask me why And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright
Though the sun may hide We still can see The light that shines for you and me
We'll be together all that we can be And when the rain begins to fall you'll ride my rainbow in the sky And I will catch you if you fall you'll never have to ask me why And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright
And when the rain begins to fall you'll ride my rainbow in the sky And I will catch you if you fall you'll never have to ask me why And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life You know that we can have it all and everything will be allright
Ain't That A Kick In The Head
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jimmy Van Heusen
First release by: Dean Martin - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists
How lucky can one guy be
I kissed her and she kissed me
Like the fella once said
Ain't that a kick in the head
The room was completely black
I hugged her and she hugged back
Like the sailor said quote
Ain't that a hole in the boat
My head keeps spinning
I go to sleep and keep grinning
If this is just the beginning
My life is gonna be ...
Beautiful
I've got sunshine enough to spread
It's just like the fella said
Tell me quick
Ain't love a kick in the head
Ain't love a kick in the head
Ain't that a hole in the boat
My head keeps spinning
I go to sleep and keep grinning
If this is just the beginning
My life has gotta be
Beautiful
She's telling me that we'd be wed
Man she's picked out a large type bed
I couldn't feel any better
Or I'll be sick
Tell me quick
Please
Tell me quick
Tell me quick
Ain't love a kick, kick in the head
When The Old Oaken Bucket Was New Composer(s): Joe Cooper; George J. Moriarty
Summer was blooming, old times were looming
while I closed my eyes Scenes I love dearly, came back so clearly
under summer skies Stars were a gleaming, I was just dreaming Dreaming, dear of you Back to the time when you became mine Just a memory
Life was a pleasure each day a treasure, that I foundly praise Thoughts of the morrow, never brought sorrow, in those good old days Back to our childhood, back thro' the wild wood My thoughts seem to fly What can compare with those days so rare Days that never die
When the old oaken bucket was new That's the first time I made love to you You turned your head, but you heard all I said As we sat by the well just we two We both vowed that our hearts love would flow Just as long as the water below Life is sweet yet, but I'll never forget When the old oaken bucket was new
Ain't That A Bitch Composer(s): Desmond Child - Joe Perry - Steven Tyler Performer(s): Aerosmith
Up in smoke youve lost another lover As you take a hit off your last cigarette Strung out, burnt out Yeah youre down on your luck And you dont give a .. til the best part of you starts to twitch Aint that a bitch

In a daze In the throes of emotion You see God in the devils eyes Then you fall so far from grace You wouldnt know a kiss If it was on your face You can tell it to the jury But you aint got no case
Freak out! Im alone now I feel just like Im losinmy mind cause love is like the right dress On the wrong girl You never know what youre gonna find The gal was fine as calamine but not Enough to scratch a seven year itch cause love is like the last licks Outta Hendrix ... yeah Aint that a bitch
Then you feel so out of place Lickinup the arsenic From the same old lace You know the stuff is poison But you gotta have a taste
Freak out! Im alone now I feel just like Im losin my mind cause love is like the right dress On the wrong girl You never know what youre gonna find You think youre high and fine as wine Then you wind up with your face in the ditch cause love is like a warm gun On a cold night ... yeah Aint that a bitch
I Lived So Fast And Hard Composer(s): Dolly Parton Performer(s): Porter Wagoner; Mel Tillis
I was raised on cornbread and gravy And I slept in a cardboard box till I was nearly three I bathed myself in a muddy river runnin' by our shack By the time that I had reached thirteen I'd been through hell and back
I've been thrown from pillar to post I've been banged around and scarred I've done so much I've seen so much And I've lived so fast and hard
Mama died when I was young and I never knew my dad I never had the lovin' care that other children had I spent five years in an orphan's home, but I ran off one day And I hoboed an old freight train to San Francisco Bay
I fought in the war, I've been in jail There ain't much I ain't done I'd lived as much as any man Before I was twenty one
I've been thrown from pillar to post I've been banged around and scarred I've done so much I've seen so much And I've lived so fast and hard

Cancel my subscription to the Resurrection Send my credentials to the House of Detention I got some friends inside
The face in the mirror won't stop The girl in the window won't drop A feast of friends "Alive!" she cried Waitin' for me Outside!
Before I sink Into the big sleep I want to hear I want to hear The scream of the butterfly
Come back, baby Back into my arm We're gettin' tired of hangin' around Waitin' around with our heads to the ground
I hear a very gentle sound Very near yet very far
Very soft, yeah, very clear Come today, come today
What have they done to the earth? What have they done to our fair sister? Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn And tied her with fences and dragged her down
I hear a very gentle sound With your ear down to the ground We want the world and we want it... We want the world and we want it... Now Now? Now!
Persian night, babe See the light, babe Save us! Jesus! Save us!
So when the music's over

Well the music is your special friend Dance on fire as it intends Music is your only friend Until the end Until the end Until the end!
My children come sit here and hold to my hand For I must tell you something that I don't understand Lately we've been living in the shadows of surprise For I'm not the only man in your Mother's eyes
I can't say it's my fault and I won't say it's hers For I might have neglected when her need for me occured But we're still a family and must realize That I'm not the only man in your Mother's eyes
No, I'm not the only man in her eyes anymore And soon she'll be leavin', walkin' out the door
And things won't be easy with her not around And the shame that's now with us will be hard to live down So children bear with me, promise Daddy you'll try Since I'm not the only man in your Mother's eyes
So children bear with me, promise Daddy you'll try Since I'm not the only man in your Momma's eyes
When The Moon Comes Over The Mountain Composer(s): Howard Johnson; Harry Woods Performer(s): Kate Smith; and various other artists
All by myself at twilight Watching the day depart And with the fading twilight Happiness fills my heart
When the moon comes over the mountain Every beam brings a dream, Dear, of you Once again we stroll neath the mountain Through that rose-covered valley we knew
Each day is grey and dreary But the night is bright and cheery When the moon comes over the mountain I'm alone with my mem'ries of you
Each day is grey and dreary But the night is bright and cheery When the moon comes over the mountain I'm alone with my mem'ries of you
Tennessee Stud Composer(s): Jimmie Driftwood First release by: Jimmie Driftwood - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists
Along about eighteen and twenty-five I left Tennessee very much alive I never woulda got through the Arkansas mud If I hadn't been a-ridin' on the Tennessee stud
I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa One of her brothers was a bad outlaw I sent her a letter by my Uncle Fud And I rode away on the Tennessee stud
The Tennessee stud was long and lean The colour of the sun and his eyes were green He had the nerve and he had the blood And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud
One day I was a-ridin' through a beautiful land When I ran smack into an Indian band They jumped their nags with a whoop and a yell And away we went like a bat outta hell
I circled their camp for a time or two To show 'em what a Tennessee horse can do Them Redskin boys couldn't get my blood 'Cause I was a-ridin' on the Tennessee stud
The Tennessee stud was long and lean The colour of the sun and his eyes were green He had the nerve and he had the blood And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud
We drifted on down into no man's land We crossed the river called the Rio Grande I raced my horse with a Spaniard bold Till I got me a skin full of silver and gold
Me and a gambler we couldn't agree We got in a fight over Tennessee We jerked our guns, he fell with a thud And I got away on the Tennessee stud
The Tennessee stud was long and lean The colour of the sun and his eyes were green He had the nerve and he had the blood And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud
Well I got as lonesome as a man can be A-dreamin' of my girl in Tennessee The Tennessee stud's green eyes turned blue 'Cause he was dreamin' of his sweetheart too
We loped right on across Arkansas I whupped her brother and whupped her Pa I found that girl with the golden hair And she was a-ridin' on a Tennessee mare
The Tennessee stud was long and lean The colour of the sun and his eyes were green He had the nerve and he had the blood And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side We crossed the mountains and the valleys wide We came to Big Muddy and we forded the flood On the Tennessee mare and the Tennessee stud
A pretty little baby on the cabin floor A little horse colt playin' round the door I love the girl with the golden hair And the Tennessee stud loves the Tennessee mare
The Tennessee stud was long and lean The colour of the sun and his eyes were green He had the nerve and he had the blood And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud
When The Midnight Choo Choo Leaves For Alabam' Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Ethel Merman & Dan Dailey; and various other artists
When the midnight choo choo leaves for Alabam' I'll be right there, I've got my fair When I see that rusty haired conductor man I'll grab him by the collar and I'll holler "Alabam'! Alabam'!"
That's where you stop your train, that brings me back again Down home where I'll remain, where my honey lamb am I will be right there with bells, when that old conductor yells "All aboard! All aboard! All aboard for Alabam!"

There she is! There she is! There's what keeps me up at night Oh, gee whiz! Oh, gee whiz! There's why I can't eat a bite Those flaming eyes! That flaming youth! Oh, mister oh, sister, tell me the truth...
Ain't she sweet? See her walking down the street Now I ask you very confidentially Ain't she sweet?
Ain't she nice Look her over once or twice Now I ask you very confidentially Ain't she nice?
Just cast an eye in her direction Oh me, oh my, ain't that perfection
I repeat Don't you think she's kind of sweet Now I ask you very confidentially Ain't she sweet?
Tell me where, tell me where Have you seen one just like that I declare, I declare That sure is worth looking at
Oh, boy, how sweet those lips must be Gaze on it, doggonit! Now answer me
Ain't she sweet? See her walking down the street Now I ask you very confidentially Ain't she sweet?
Ain't she nice? Look her over once or twice Now I ask you very confidentially Ain't she nice?
Just cast an eye in her direction Oh me, oh my, ain't that perfection
I repeat Don't you think she's kind of sweet Now I ask you very confidentially Ain't she sweet?
When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes
When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes Composer(s): Brian Holland; Edward Holland Jr.; Lamont Dozier Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes; Lorraine Silver; Dusty Springfield; The Zombies
He gave me the eye But I just passed him by I treated him unkind But he didn't seem to mind
I told him be on his way But not a word did he say He just stood there kind of bold While I acted cold
But when the love-light starts shining through his eyes Made me realise I should apologise And when he placed a kiss upon my face Then I knew, Oh then I knew That he won my heart
So I quickly apologised Hoping he hadn't changed his mind But not a word did he say So I turned to walk away
But when the love-light starts shining through his eyes Made me realise how he felt inside And when he placed a kiss upon my face Then I knew, Oh then I knew That he won my heart
When he asked could he walk my way I hoped sweet things he'd say Instead he smiled kind of nice As he held my hand kind of tight
But when the love-light starts shining through his eyes Made me realise how he felt inside And when he placed a kiss upon my face Then I knew, Oh then I knew That he won my heart
But when the love-light starts shining through his eyes Made me realise how he felt inside And when he placed a kiss upon my face
No Tempo Da Vovó ((Adapted from: Ain't She Sweet? (by Lou Gold) - 1927)) Composer(s): Milton Ager - Jack Yellen Performer(s): Erasmo Carlos & Renato & seus Blue Caps - 1965
No tempo da vovó Eu queria ser também Pra ver se o vovô, além da vovó Beijava mais alguém
Vieram me contar Que o vovô era assanhado Por isso, andava sempre Com a vovó do lado
Não tinha jeito De sair fora da linha Vovó dizia Que só a ela ele via
Viveram sempre assim Até que eu nasci Mas, sempre bons conselhos Do meu vovô ouvi
When The Lord Closes The Door (He Opens A Little Window)
When The Lord Closes The Door (He Opens A Little Window) Composer(s): Kinky Friedman; Jeff Shelby Performer(s): Billy Swan; Kinky Friedman
When I find myself alone in my house and in my head And I blow the candles out and I take myself to bed And I'm old enough to realize, ah, young enough to know When the Lord closes the door, he opens a little window
When sleep closes my eyes and sends me searching for you And I'm feelin' blue as the sky without your love to carry me through And I'm weak enough to be afraid but strong enough to let it show When the Lord closes the door, he opens a little window
Baby I'm a gypsy boy, I'll ride the night until I come to you like moonlight through your raggle-taggle window sill
When you find yourself alone in your house and in your head And you blow the candles out and you take yourself to bed And you're old enough to realize, ah, young enough to know When the Lord closes the door, he opens a little window
Ain't She Something Else
Composer(s): Jerry Foster - Bill Rice
Performer(s): Conway Twitty
Don't you love the way she talks to you
When she's feeling woman warm
And don't it make you feel so good
Just to know she's yours all by yourself
Don't you like to see the sun go down
When she's lying close to you
And can't you feel her all around
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
Ain't she just some kind of lover in the morning
Can't your arms feel the warmness where she slept
Ain't she just all that you have ever wanted
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
Don't you like the way she clings to you
And loves you 'till there's nothing left
And tell me don't her lips taste good
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
Ain't she just some kind of lover in the morning
Can't your arms feel the warmness where she slept
Ain't she just all that you have ever wanted
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
When she loves me she's sure something else

When the lights go on again all over the world And the boys are home again all over the world And rain or snow is all that may fall from the skies above A kiss won't mean "goodbye" but "Hello to love"
When the lights go on again all over the world And the ships will sail again all over the world Then we'll have time for things like wedding rings and free hearts will sing When the lights go on again all over the world
When the lights go on again all over the world And the ships will sail again all over the world Then we'll have time for things like wedding rings and free hearts will sing When the lights go on again all over the world
