Last Night
Composer(s): Jeremy Clyde
Performer(s): Chad & Jeremy



Last night I told you many things
Last night, it's hard remembering
I think I said that I loved you child
And at the time, it did seem wild
I know that I was high
Last night, I was out of my mind
Last night, don't think me unkind
It's just that you were by my side
If I remember right, I think I cried
You know that I was high

Forget all the things I said
This morning 'wish that I was dead
Put down the phone, go back to bed
Forget it

Last night, I give you my word
That last night, whatever you heard
Was just a man who was very tired
You were just a face that I admired
You know that I was high
Last night will be the first and
Last night, oh, oh, yeah
Think it over and then you'll see
Tonight will be the first
And last for me

Last night, I touched your fingertips
And when I touched your lips
I fell in love last night...
Last night, I felt your heart beat fast
Swiftly the moments passed
Why couldn’t it last last night?
Tonight here I am all alone
My lovely dream has flown
Why must I be alone?
Last night, why did we say goodbye?
My heart keeps asking why,
Why couldn’t it last last night...? 

Last Mango In Paris
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett - Marshall Chapman - Michael Utley - Will Jennings
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett



I went down to Captain Tony's
To get out of the heat
I heard a voice call out to me
"Son come have a seat"
I had to search my memory
As I looked into those eyes
Our lives changed like the weather
But a legend never dies

He said I ate the last mango in Paris
I took the last plane out of Saigon
Took the first fast boat to China
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done

I had a third world girl in Buzios
With a pistol in each hand
She always kept me covered 
As we moved from land to land

I had a damn good run on Wall Street
With my high fashion model wife
I woke up dry beneath the African sky
Just me and my Swiss Army knife

He said I ate the last mango in Paris
I took the last plane out of Saigon
Took the first fast boat to China
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done

We shot the breeze for hours
As the sun fell from the sky
And like the sun he disappeared
Before my very eyes

It was somewhere past dark-thirty
As I went back to the head
I read upon the dingy walls
The words the old man said:

He said I ate the last mango in Paris
I took the last plane out of Saigon
Took the first fast boat to China
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done

He said I ate the last mango in Paris
I took the last plane out of Saigon
Took the first fast boat to China
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done

Bedtime Story
Composer(s): Billy Sherrill; Glenn Sutton
Performer(s): Tammy Wynette



I've told you almost ev'ry bedtime story
And you've heard almost ev'ry nursery rhyme
So, tonight before you go to sleep
And pray the Lord your soul to keep
Here's mommy's favorite story one more time

Once upon a time there was a castle
And in this castle lived a King and Queen
And it came to pass, they were both were blessed
By one little blue-eyed princess
With the softest golden curls you've ever seen

But then one day, he met this pretty lady
And she had lots of pretty words to say
And this part makes your mommy sad
'Cause,oh, what big eyes she had
And she took his hand and led him far away

Still, it's just another bedtime story
But tellin' it brings teardrops to my eyes
Just another pretty bedtime story
So, please forgive mommy if she cries

Then it came to pass, the King grew lonely
And the pretty lady wasn't all she seemed
He realized that he was wrong
And started his long journey home
For he misses little Princess and his Queen

Then he was back and safe inside his castle
And tears of joy came pourin' down like rain
Then the castle rang with laughter
They lived happy ever after
Knowin' he would never leave again

Still, it's just another bedtime story
But tellin' it brings teardrops to my eyes
Just another pretty bedtime story
So, please forgive mommy if she cries

Won't you please forgive your mommy
If she cries

I have heard the cannons thundering at night
And I cannot help but wondering why the rebel's cause is right
And the morphine seems to do no good at all
I would run all the way if I would not fall

And I dreamed of a rose in a Spanish garden
And I kissed you as I placed it in your hair
If I'm ever on my feet again I will
I will run all the way just to meet you there

Joined the southern cavalry for fun
I have rode a thousand horses, always I had a way with a gun
Now I'm among the horseless riders lying still
Swallowed up by the cause on Widow's Hill

And I dreamed of a rose in a Spanish garden
And I kissed you as I placed it in your hair
If I'm ever on my feet again I will
And I will run all the way just to meet you there

And I dreamed of a rose in a Spanish garden
And I kissed you as I placed it in your hair
If I'm ever on my feet again I will
And I will run all the way just to meet you there

Bedtime Stories
Composer(s): Colin Still
Performer(s): Justin Hayward



Lay along side me beautiful lady
Dark as the blackest hour of night
Deep in my body warm and lazy
Under the sheets and out of sight
Won't you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Oh let me close my eyes and drift away
Tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Tell me in a very special way

Rolling and tumbling
Sweet sensation doing the things we both do best
Making the most of a situation, yeah
I can't stop this pounding in my chest
When you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Oh let me close my eyes and drift away
Tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Tell me in a very special way

Won't you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Oh let me close my eyes and drift away
Tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Tell me in a very special way

Watching the night lights through the window
Sounds of the city on the run
Shadows of lovers in the moon glow
I feel like my life has just begun
When you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Oh let me close my eyes and drift away
Tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Tell me in a very special way

Won't you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Oh let me close my eyes and drift away
Tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories
Tell me in a very special way

(doo, doo, doo bedtime stories) repeat

Tell me, tell me, tell me (bedtime stories)
Oh won't you tell me, tell me, tell me (bedtime stories)
Tell me, tell me, tell me (bedtime stories)
Oh won't you tell me, tell me, tell me (bedtime stories)
Tell me, tell me, tell me (bedtime stories)

Last Kiss
Composer(s): Wayne Cochran
First release by: Wayne Cochran - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists



Well, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road, straight ahead ...
The car was stalled, the engine was dead
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
Never forget the sound that night ...
The cryin' tires, the bustin' glass
The painful scream that I heard last

Well, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

Well, when I woke up, the rain was pourin' down
There were people standing all around
Something warm running in my eyes
but I found my baby somehow that night
I raised her head, and when she smiled, and said
"Hold me darling for a little while"
I held her close. I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I would miss
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love ... my life, that night

Well, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

Bedsitterland
Composer(s): Leo Sayer; Frank Farrell
Performer(s): Leo Sayer



I’m thinking of taking
The easy way out
Open the window
I’ll fall to the ground
I could do it -- wouldn’t be much too it

I gotta little place here in the city
It’s kind of small and dirty, it’s a bedsitter
And there’s a lot of us living here
Wall to wall in one big house

And when the night comes ’round
I can see a lot of lonely lights
There are people in there breathing
But it don’t seem right
In the streets way down below me
I’m listening for just a sound
But nobody comes around
In bedsitterland

And there’s a man below me on the balcony
Crying to be heard
Screaming to be heard
I’m haunted by his words
And the people in the street just shrug their shoulders
Saying he’s disturbed
He’s in another world
Screaming at the birds
Crying to be heard
I hear his every word

I’ve slept in the gutter on a summer’s day
Oh I’ve bummed cigarettes in the night cafes
I’ve joined the breadline
Believe I got a deadline

I gotta little place here in the city
It’s kind of small and dirty, it’s a bedsitter
And there’s a lot of us living here
Wall to wall in one big house

And when the night comes ’round
I can see a lot of lonely lights
There are people in there breathing
But it don’t seem right
In the streets way down below me
I’m listening for just a sound
But nobody comes around
The lights are going down
Nobody comes around
In bedsitterland

Last Farewell
Composer(s): Randy Sparks
Performer(s): The New Christy Mintrels



I’m go’n way at eve’n tide
Across the wide and the rollin’ sea
I bid you stay stay here by my side
And share a last farewell with me

Through snowclad mountains proud and tall
For a thousand miles ‘cross the burning sand
Our last farewell then will I recall
When I’m alone in a far off land

A wanderin’ song is all I know
Yet I love more more than words can tell
I hear the call and I’m bound to go
I leave you now with a last farewell
I leave you now with a last farewell

Bed Of Roses
Composer(s): H. Reid
Performer(s): The Statler Brothers



She was called a scarlet woman by the people
Who would go to church but left me in the street
With no parents of my own, I never had a home
And an eighteen year old boy has got to eat
           
She found me outside one Sunday morning
Taking money from a man I didn't know
She took me in and wiped away my childhood
A woman of the streets this Lady Rose

This bed of roses that I lay on
Where I was taught to be a man
This bed of roses where I'm living
Is the only kind of love I understand
           
She was a handsome woman just thirty-four
Who was spoken to in town by very few
She managed a late evening business
Like most of the town wished they could do
           
And I learned all the things that a man should know
From a woman not approved of I suppose
But she died knowing that I really loved her
Off life's bramble bush, I picked a rose

There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell

For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising
Their guns on fire as we sail into hell
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell

For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

Though death and darkness gather all about me
My ship be torn apart upon the seas
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return home safe again to England
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale

For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

Yeah, we're gonna fight
We do it every night
Baby, when you scratch
You know I'm gonna bite
You can make me die
I can make you cry
Opposites attract
That's the reason why
No one else could make you feel
Like I do, I do, I do
No one ever gets as deep inside you
As I do, baby
Our love is a bed of nails
Love hurts good on a bed of nails
I'll lay you down and when all else fails
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails
First we're gonna kiss
then we're gonna say
Dirty little words
Only lovers say
Rockin' through the night
Rollin' on the floor
When they hear us screamin'
They'll be breakin' down the door
No one else could make you feel
Like I do, I do, I do
No one ever gets as deep inside you
As I do, baby
Our love is a bed of nails
Love hurts good on a bed on nails
I'll lay you down and when all else fails
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails
Bed of nails, bed of nails
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow
Gonna drive you like a hammer
Baby, put me in your slammer, oh yeah
No one else could make you feel
Like I do, I do, I do
No one ever gets as deep inside you
As I do, baby
Our love is a bed of nails
Love hurts good on a bed of nails
I'll lay you down and when all else fails
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails
Bed of nails, get on my bed of nails
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow
Gonna drive you like a hammer
Baby, put me in your slammer, oh yeah
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails

Ja, het schip wordt geladen in de haven
We vertrekken morgen, gaan onder zeil
Weg van jou, je wuift vanop de kade
Ver van jouw land, vol zonneschijn

En waar ik morgen ben dat weet toch niemand
De zee beslist wel waar ik dan zal zijn
Maar jij bent zo mooi en lief
M'n hart wil bij je blijven en ik zal jou schrijven
Ik heb je lief
Maar jij bent zo mooi en lief
Mijn hart wil bij je blijven en ik zal jou schrijven
'k Heb je lief

Ik hoor berichten van een verre oorlog
De wereld en de zee in vuur en vlam
Wie weet wat ons nog wacht daar aan de einder
Ik denk aan jou en voel me klein en bang

Zie ik jou ooit nog terug m'n lief, ik hoop het
Hoe bitter is ons afscheid, 't valt me zwaar
Want jij bent zo mooi en lief
M'n hart wil bij je blijven, ja dit wil ik schrijven
'k Heb je lief
Want jij bent zo mooi en lief
Mijn hart wil bij jou blijven, ja dit wil ik schrijven
Ik heb je lief

Nu duisternis en oorlog mij omarmen
De dood wacht na een ongelijke strijd
Denk ik aan jou en ongerepte stranden
Verlang ik terug naar die mooie tijd

En mocht ik ook de dans kunnen ontspringen
Dan beloof ik jou, dan vaar ik nooit meer uit
Want jij bent zo mooi en lief
M'n hart wil bij je blijven, ja dit wil ik schrijven
'k Heb je lief
Want jij bent zo mooi en lief
Mijn hart wil bij jou blijven, ja dit wil ik schrijven
Ik heb je lief

Bed And Breakfast Man
Composer(s): Mike Barson
Originally performed by: Madness



Well there's a man I know
At least I used to years ago
I didn't really mind
He used to come 'round all the time

Of course he had to be fed
I had to give him a bed
He used to kip on my sofa
They used to call him a loafer

I've heard he's changed
A lot since then
But some of his ways
He just can't mend

Told the other day
That he'd offered to pay
He didn't like his dad
He earned all he ever had

He didn't have no shame
He was a master at his game
He never showed his hand
He was the bed and breakfast man

He was, he was the bed and breakfast man...

Last Day Of Dawn
Composer(s): Jim Capaldi
Performer(s): Jim Capaldi



Can't stop this aching inside my heart
Can't stop this feeling that's tearing me apart
It's been with me ever since the day I was born
And it'll be with me on the last day of dawn

Can't stop the sun from setting in the west
Can't stop the this pressure inside my chest
It's been with me ever since the day I was born
And it'll be with me on the last day of dawn

On the last day of dawn when the world is no more
And the last tiny pigeon's been swept off the floor
And nobody's calling out loud in their sleep
Cause the midnight entanglers thrown 'em all in a heap

Can't stop this aching in my heart
Can't stop this feeling that's tearing me apart
It's been with me since the day I was born
And it'll be with me on the last day of dawn

Can't stop the sun from setting in the west
Can't stop this pressure inside my chest
And just like the singer when the curtain's been drawn
I'll fade in the shadows on the last day of dawn

Em minha rua
Não há noite nem há dia
Não há vida nem há morte
Não há pranto nem cantar
A minha rua
Não é cheia nem vazia
Não tem destino nem sorte
Nem norte nem viajar

Em minha rua
Não há chuva nem há frio
Não há calor nem estio
Não há rio não há mar
Nenhuma lua
Nenhum sol nenhum segredo
Não há gloria não há medo
Não há cor nem há olhar

Em qualquer parte
Na calçada ou no batente
Eu me deito eu me sento
E pego o meu violão
Em qualquer parte
Talvez não seja direito
Eu me sento eu me deito
Preparo meu coração

Deixo que o vento
Traga estampas coloridas
Em papéis de chocolate
Prá cobrir minha canção

Deixo que o vento
Traga a morte que eu não tive
Traga a noite que não vive
Dentro do meu coração

The Last Dance
Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen - Sammy Cahn
First recording/First release by: Frank Sinatra - 1958/1959



It's the last dance, we've come to the last dance
They're dimming the lights down, they're hoping we'll go
It's obvious they're aware of us, the pair of us, alone on the floor
Still I want to hold you like this forever and more

It the last song, they're playing the last song
The orchestra's yawning, they're sleepy I know
They're wondering just when will we leave, but till we leave, keep holding me tight
Through the last dance, each beat of the last dance
Save me the first dance in your dreams tonight

They're wondering just when will we leave, but till we leave, keep holding me tight
Through the last dance, each beat of the last dance
And save me the first dance in your dreams tonight

Because You're Mine

Because you're mine
The brightest star I see
Looks down, my love, and envies me
Because you're mine, because you're mine

Because you're mine
The breeze that hurries by
Becomes a melody and why?
Because you're mine, because you're mine

I only know for as long as I may live
I'll only live for the kiss that you alone may give me

And when we kiss
That isn't thunder, dear
It's only my poor heart you hear and its applause
Because you're mine

I only know for as long as I may live
I'll only live for the kiss that you alone may give me

And when we kiss
That isn't thunder, dear
It's only my poor heart you hear and its applause
Because you're mine

Last Call For Alcohol
Composer(s): Don Rollins
Performer(s): Charlie Walker



There's no blonde at the bar making eyes at me
So I don't suppose that I'd be cheerful company
Anyhow it's too late to even hope tonight
They just switched off the jukebox and turned on the lights

And it's last call for alcohol, oh, that's the worst of all
When the drinks are gone, the table's cleared and they tell me to go home
To a house where lives the pieces of my broken heart
Last call for alcohol and time for tears to start

'Cause there once was somebody in this life of mine
One to take her place I don't expect to find
But it might be a long long time before
She's back and the lights go on in my life once more

And it's last call for alcohol, oh, that's the worst of all
When the drinks are gone, the table's cleared and they tell me to go home
Waitress, tell 'em fix one more and pour it tall
I'll drink it fast, I know that it's last call for alcohol
