All I Have Is A Song Composer(s): Gary Rossington - Ronnie Van Zant Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd
These ol' white lines on the highway Lord it's all I know Seems like I've been out all my life But I just can't let it go Oh you know I ain't complainin' 'Cause I can tell, lord it's just your plan So I thank you for what I have And that's a song All I have is a song
I keep thinkin' about the friends I've had And all the meories we've shared They keep comin' back, time and time again Sometimes I wonder was it worth the cost And all I've lost Oh you know I ain't complainin' Cause I can tell, lord it's just your plan So I thank you for what I have And that's a song All I have is a song
So I play this song one more time, 'cause lord it's all I know I'll be standin' at your door following along 'cause all I have is a song And this song will live on
Who Paid The Rent For Mrs. Rip Van Winkle? Composer(s): Fred Fischer; Alfred Bryan Performer(s): Al Jolson; and various other artists
Oh, oh, many years ago Lived the wife of happy Rip Van Winkle Oh, oh, she sent him away As the little stars began to twinkle All that he had he had under his hat She was glad to see him go So over the hills he went Left her without a cent One thing I'm anxious to know....
Who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle When Rip Van Winkle went away? And though he slept for twenty years Who was it kissed away her tears?
She had no friends in the place No one to embrace But the landlord always left her with a smile on his face Oh, who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle When Rip Van Winkle went away?
C'mon, tell me!
Who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle When Rip Van Winkle went away? And though he slept for twenty years Who was it kissed away her tears?
She never married again She was lonesome but then You'll always find a rooster Lookin' round for a hen
Who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle When Rip Van Winkle went away?
All I Have Composer(s): Sylvia Robinson - George Kerr Performer(s): The Moments
All I have Left in my heart Is my love for you
Romance is over and through (Romance) No longer and I supposed to think of you Or of memories of happier times When darling, I was yours and you were mine Cause now you ask me girl to give you back
All that I have Ooh, baby All that I have
And all I have Left in my heart Is my love for you
How can you Have the nerve to say Go and find (Go and find) someone new
Sorry, sorry it has to end this way (To end) But I dont think that I could have gone through another day Of knowing you dont want me around And knowing of this new love youve found Cause now you ask me, girl, to give you back
All that I have Ooh, baby
And all I have Left in my heart Is my love (Is my love) for you
And how can you Have the nerve to say Go and find (Go and find) someone new
Darling If this is what you really want me to do Then Ill go out and try To find someone new
Who Needs You? Composer(s): Robert Allen; Al Stillman Performer(s): The Four Lads; and various other artists
Who needs you To drive me out of my mind Who needs you I'd like to know Who needs you To give me chills when I'm well How fast can a helpless heart go
I know dear, I love you more than a lot But oh! What I've got to go through And so dear, I guess the answer is simply Who needs you, I do!
(chorus) Each time we kiss goodnight I find that I get so excited I can't sleep at night I've lost my appetite
No appetite, no sleep at night ...
I know dear, I love you more than a lot But oh! What I've got to go through And so dear, I guess the answer is simply Who needs you ... who needs you ... I do!!
Well I told you `bout your attitude And it didn't do me any good 'Cause you took your love away Left me here alone with all this lonely heartache
There are places I remember Where the ladies still are tender Against you they can't compare Baby we've just got to get it back together
All I ever wanted was to be with you All I ever wanted was to be with you
I just got to get it through to you That my loving heart is ever true Please come back to where you belong Girl you got to know I'll never do you wrong
All I ever wanted was to be with you All I ever wanted was to be with you Yeah you Oh oh
All I ever wanted was to be with you All I ever wanted was to be with you
Well I told you `bout your attitude And it didn't do me any good `Cause you took your love away
All I ever wanted was to be with you All I ever wanted was to be with you All I ever wanted was to be with you All I ever wanted was to be with you You!
Who Needs Ya? Composer(s): Larry Byrom; John Kay Performer(s): Steppenwolf
Well, it's sunrise on the freeway as I get back from town Find you standin' in my boots, kicking my dog around Empty bottles on the floor Enough to build a monument Then you've got the nerve to tell me Somebody took the rent
Who needs ya'? Think about it baby, who needs you? Now you can save your lip, just pack your grip And leave a trail of smoke behind you Who needs ya'? Can you tell me baby, who needs you? Who needs you? Think about it baby Well, who needs you? Can you tell me please?
Last week you pulled another of your tricks You let your brother move in here with a herd of freaks They ate us out of house and home Turned this place into a sty Darlin' by tomorrow you'll be eatin' humble pie

Who Needs To Dream? Composer(s): Artie Butler; Jack Feldman; Barry Manilow; Bruce Sussman Performer(s): Barry Manilow; Franc d'Ambrosio; Christiane Noll; Gary Wilmot
You were in my dreams Always in my dreams That was long before I ever saw you standing there When I felt afraid Of the choice I made I would close my eyes And hope my dreams would comfort me But now I'm free
Who needs to dream when there is you? Who needs a heaven to look forward to? For my whole life through Who needs to dream? You're my dream come true
In my fantasy You believed in me And as long as you were there Then I believed in me Now suddenly
Who needs to dream when there is you? Who needs a heaven to look forward to? For my whole life through Who needs to dream? You're my dream come true
Now you are my dream You are my only dream I'll hold you in my heart forever Who needs to dream? Who needs to dream? When I see you there Then I see my every dream come true
Who needs to dream when there is you? Who needs a heaven? For my whole life through Who needs to dream? You're my dream come true Every dream All come true My dream come true!
All I Ever Need Composer(s): Jack Sawyer Performer(s): Helen Reddy; Johnny Mathis
To wake up next to you See your smile across the pillow As the sun breaks through In the early hours when the day is new To lie by you That's all I ever need
And when I go away I know there's nothing in the world Could ever make me stay Part of you is there with me Throughout the day To feel that way That's all I ever need
Thats all I ever need To hold you as the world beyond the skies To realize the promise in your eyes That's all I ever need
To come back home to you To know you'll warm me with your love The way you always do In the gentle hours when the day is through Alone with you That's all I ever need
Thats all I ever need To hold you as the world beyond the skies To realize the promise in your eyes That's all I ever need
In the gentle hours when the day is through Alone with you That's all I ever need That's all I ever need

Who Knows Where The Time Goes? Composer(s): Sandy Denny Performer(s): Fairport Convention; and various other artists
Across the morning sky all the birds are leaving But how can they know it's time for them to go? Before the Winter's fire I will still be dreaming I have no thought of time
For who knows where the time goes? Who know's where the time goes?
Sad deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving Ah and yet they know it's time for them to go
But I will still be here I have no thought of leaving I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes? Who know's where the time goes?
And I am not alone while my love is near And I know it will be so until it's time to go
So count the storms of winter And then the birds in spring again I have no fear of time
For who knows how my love grows? And who know's where the time goes?
For who knows where the time goes? Who know's where the time goes?
All I Do Is Dream Of You Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown - Arthur Freed Performer(s): Gene Kelly
All I do is dream of you the whole night through With the dawn I still go on and dream of you You're every thought, you're everything You're every song I ever sing
Summer, Winter, Autumn and Spring And were there more than twenty four hours a day They'd be spent in sweet content, dreaming away When skies are grey, when skies are blue Morning, noon and night-time too All I do is dream of you the whole day through

All I Could Do Was Cry Composer(s): Billy Davis - Gwen Fuqua - Berry Gordy Jr. Performer(s): Etta James and multiple other artists
I heard church bells ringing I heard a choir singing I saw my love walk down the aisle On her finger he placed a ring
Oh, I saw them holding hands She was standing there with my man I heard them promise "Till death do us part" Each word was a pain in my heart
All I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry) All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry) I was losing the man that I loved And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
Yeah and now the wedding's over Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads For them life has just begun But mine is at an end
All, all I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry) All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry) I was losing the man that I loved (cry, cry, cry) And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)

Well You tell me men don't have much intuition Is that what you really thinkin girl Or are you wishing? Before you wreck your old home And searcht another new Dadgummit Who is he, and what is he to you? Who is he, and what is he to you? Who is he, and what is he to you? Who is he, and what is he to you?
All I Can Remember Composer(s): Keith Potger Performer(s): The Seekers; Judith Durham
Summer days and summer breezes, flowers everywhere Are all that I remember of times we used to share Summer nights and summer beaches, flowing into fall That's all I can remember, all that I recall
I remember seasons when you weren't so far away I still can hear your laughter and things you used to say Sheltered from the world behind the ivy-covered wall That's all I can remember, all that I recall
Somewhere above me You smiling face, warm embrace fill my mind I know you love me And you're the one for whom the sun will always shine
So, my love, the more I think the more I want to say Your love to me is sunshine and laughing summer days Once again I realize I loved you most of all That's all I can remember, all that I recall
