All I Need Is Time Composer(s): Bud Reneau Performer(s): Gladys Knight & the Pips and multiple other artists
All I need is time, then I'll get over you A little at a time, a bit each day All I need is time to mend a dream or two Then I'll forget the love you took away
Morning's here again, just like the day before But the only change is that I love you more All I need is time, maybe a thousand years Maybe a million tears, but I need time
Everybody says the pain won't last too long Have a lot of fun and time will fly It took a lot of time till love was born in me And it'll take some time for love to die
Each and every day I spend forgetting you Brings another night I never quite get through All I need is time, maybe a thousand years Maybe a million tears, but I need time
Who Would True Valour See Composer(s): John Bunyan Performer(s): Maddy Prior
Who would true valour see Let him come hither One here will constant be Come wind, come weather There's no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim
Whoso beset him 'round With dismal stories Who but themselves confound His strength the more is No lion can him fright He'll with a giant fight But he will have a right to be a pilgrim.
Hobgoblin nor foul fiend Can daunt his spirit He knows he at the end Shall life inherit Then fancies flee away He'll fear not what men say He'll labour night and day to be a pilgrim
Who would true valour see Let him come hither One here will constant be Come wind, come weather There's no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim
All I Need Is The Girl Composer(s): Jule Styne - Stephen Sondheim Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists
Got my tweed pressed, got my best vest, all I need now is the girl Got my striped tie, got my hopes high Got the time and the place and I got the rhythm Now all I need's the girl to go with'em
If she'll just appear we'll take this big town for a whirl And if she'll say "My, darling, I'm yours" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed All I really need is the girl
Got my tweed pressed, I got my best vest, all I need now is the girl Got my striped tie, got my hopes way up high I got the time and the place and the rhythm All I need's the girl to go with'em
Mm, if she'll just appear we'll take this, this great big town for a whirl And if, if she'll say "My, darlin', I'm yours" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed All I real, really need is the girl
All I Need Composer(s): R. Dean Taylor Performer(s): The Temptations
(Won't you believe, my darlin'?) Oh this heart of mine carries a heavy load When I think about how I've hurt you so After you've been, been so good to me I've been unfaithful, darlin', I've caused you misery I feel the guilt, how it tortures me And only you, my darlin', oh can set me free
And darlin', all, all I need is just to hear you say You'll forgive me, forgive me baby All, all I need, to have you touch my hand Say you'll understand
A moment of weakness, darlin', caused me to stray Your trust in me, dear, I threw away When I look, look into your eyes I can see the hurt, baby, that you feel inside Although I hurt you, baby, you never once complained It makes me feel that much more ashamed Tears of guilt, tears of guilt run down my face Tears that only you, baby, only you can erase
And darlin', all, all I need is just to hear you say You'll forgive me, forgive me baby All, all I need, to have you touch my hand Say you'll understand
(Won't you believe, my darlin'?) I know I made a big mistake When all your love, darlin', yes I did forsake It's on my mind, it's in my heart I get the feelin' tearin' me apart Every step I make, every breath I take I'll make it up to you, I'll make it up to you Undo the wrong I've done, undo the wrong I've done I've been unfaithful, I know it's true But I'll make it up to you
And darlin', all, all I need is just to hear you say You'll forgive me, forgive me baby All, all I need, to have you touch my hand Say you'll understand ...
Who Will Buy The Wine? Composer(s): Billy Mize Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; and various other artists
Not long ago you held our babys bottle But the one youre holding nows a different kind You just sit and wait to be somebodys baby And it all depends on Who Will Buy The Wine
Who ever sets them up and tips the waitress Will be the one to share the love thats mine Youd never know whose lips youd soon be kissing And it all depends on Who Will Buy The Wine
The kind of life your living since you left me Im sure its not the life you thought you chose That Honky Tonky world is not so flashy Bright lights and booze is all it really knows
Who ever sets them up and tips the waitress Will be the one to share the love thats mine Youd never know whose lips youd soon be kissing And it all depends on Who Will Buy The Wine
All I Need Composer(s): G. Ballard - C. Magness - D. Pack Performer(s): Jack Wagner
Kissing you is not what I had planned And now I'm not so sure just where I stand I wasn't looking for true love But now you're looking at me You're the only one I can think of You're the only one I see
All I need Is just a little more time To be sure what I feel Is it all in my mind 'Cause it seems so hard to believe That you're all I need
Yes it's true we've all been hurt before But it doesn't seem to matter anymore It may be a chance we're taking But it always comes to this If this isn't love we're making Then I don't know what it is
All I need Is just a little more time To be sure what I feel Is it all in my mind 'Cause it seems so hard to believe
All I need Is just a little more time To be sure what I feel Is it all in my mind 'Cause it seems so hard to believe That you're all I need
No stars are out tonight But we're shining our own light And it's never felt so bright 'Cause girl the way I'm feeling It's easy to believe That you're all I need
All I Left Behind Composer(s): Emmylou Harris - Kate McGarrigle - Anna McGarrigle Performer(s): Emmylou Harris; Francesca
All I left behind should come as no surprise To me since I fell through the black hole of your eyes Only little things inconsequential I could say Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
Silver earrings in Wichita Beaded moccasions in Tonopah But I had you so I just let them go
The flannel shirt I wore to keep me from the cold When we drove from Boston all the way to Buffalo The leather boots I bought so many miles ago I took them off to follow you into the Ohio
Never did my armor feel so thin Silk was all I had between me and your skin Like Waterloo I lost that too
And the golden bracelet with my father's name inscribed On the back by the one who loved him all her life The way I too Could have loved you
The Spanish shawl I put across the broken shade Of the lamp that lit the room That last night near Coeur d'Alene Only little things inconsequential I could say Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway Of all I left behind
Who Was It? Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan; Hurricane Smith
Who was it that caught you falling And put you back on your feet Who was it that tripped you any way (In order that the two of us would meet) It was me and I'll tell you why Oh! I did it because of my Pure unabashed devotion to loving you Who was it that tried to kiss you Despite a very definite no And who was it that managed to succeed (In getting it with your fist down below) It was me and I'll tell you why Oh! I did it because of my Pure unabashed devotion to loving You and me both feel the same We even look alike And like it's a blooming shame That because we do People think we're you Know what I mean Who was it that came to see you When there was no-one else in sight And who was it that stayed over an hour (And not as I'd expected over night) It was me and I'll tell you why Oh! I did it because of my Pure unabashed devotion to loving Pure unabashed devotion to loving You, you, you, you Who was it that caught you falling
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Frank Sinatra & Celeste Holms; and various other artists
Who wants to be a millionaire? I don't Have flashy flunkeys everywhere? I don't Who wants the bother of a country estate? A country estate is something I'd hate! Who wants to wallow in champagne? I don't Who wants a supersonic plane? I don't Who wants a marble swimming pool too? I don't And I don't, `cause all I want is you
Who wants to be a millionaire? I don't Who wants uranium to spare? I don't Who wants to journey on a gigantic yacht? Do I want a yacht? Oh, how I do not! Who wants a fancy foreign car? I don't Who wants to tire of caviar? I don't Who wants a private landing field too? I don't And I don't, `cause all I want is you
All I Know Is The Way I Feel Composer(s): Estelle Levitt - Jerry Ragovoy Performer(s): Irma Thomas; The Pointer Sisters; Howard Tate
All I know is the way I feel anything that makes me feel so good just got to be I can' help myself, it's the way I feel it's scarin' me to death to think what you could do to me You're the one that I've been searching for you were so hard to find when you're near I need nothing more you're so deep inside my heart my soul and my mind Lost in space is the way I feel you got me sailin' way beyond my wildest dreams when we're lyin' here soft and warm all the world is turnin' slow nothin' ever came so easy wonder just how far, how long and where it will go All I know is the way I feel nothin' in my life ever was so real I know I said it a million times and it always will be true all I know is the way I feel all I need to do is to keep on lovin' you all I know is the way I feel you got me goin' round in circles like a spinning wheel I can't help myself, it's got to be it's scarin' me to death to think what you could do to me All I know is the way I feel nothin' in my life ever was so real
Who Threw The Overalls In Mrs. Murphy's Chowder? Composer(s): George Geifer Performer(s): Bing Crosby; The Countdown Singers
Mrs. Murphy gave a party just about a week ago Everything was plentiful The Murphys, they're not slow They treated us like gentlemen, we tried to act the same If it weren't for what happened... Well, it was a doggone shame
When Mrs. Murphy dished the chowder out, she fainted on the spot She found a pair of overalls at the bottom of the pot McGinty, he got roaring mad, his eyes were bulging out He jumped onto the piano and loudly he did shout......
"Who threw the overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder?" Nobody spoke, so he shouted all the louder "It's a rotten trick that's true, I can lick the drip that threw The overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder"
They dragged the pants from out the soup and laid them on the floor Each man swore upon his life, he'd ne'er seen them before They were plastered up with mortar and had patches on the knee They'd had their many ups and downs as we could plainly see
And when Mrs. Murphy, she came to, she b'gan to cry and pout She'd put them in the wash that day and forgot to pull them out McGinty, he excused himself for what he said that night So we put music to the words and sang with all our might....
"Who threw the overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder?" Nobody spoke, so we shouted all the louder "It's a rotten trick that's true, and we'll lick the drip that threw The overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder"

Who The Cap Fit Composer(s): Aston Barrett; Carlton Barrett Performer(s): Bob Marley; and various other artists
Man to man is so unjust, children You don't know who to trust Your worst enemy could be your best friend And your best friend your worst enemy
