    Last Night In Soho
    Composer(s): Alan Blaikley - Ken Howard
    Performer(s): Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich; Eleanor Rigby



    You came into my life like rain upon a barren desert
    one smile and I was born again
    I felt sure, it wasn't too late
    I'd find strength to make me go straight
    I had love, and threw it away
    Why did they lead me astray?
    For, last night in Soho I let my life go

    I never told you of some things, I've done, I'm so ashamed of
    I thought my foolish past was over and done
    I was sure, I'd make a new start
    I'd try with all of my heart
    I had dreams and broke them in two
    I'm just not worthy of you!
    For, last night in Soho I let my life go

    Well, hi, there, kid
    you ain't been around for quite some little while
    you got yourself a real cute doll
    you're living life in style
    But boy, don't get above your station
    if you don't want aggravation
    got a little job for you
    this is what you gotta do, boy!
    That's how last night in Soho
    I let my life go

    Don't cry my baby
    as they lead me where no love can help me
    don't stay around to watch me go
    Just forget there once was a time
    you were proud to call yourself mine
    I had love right here in my hand
    Why could I not understand?
    For, last night in Soho
    I let my life go
    For, last night in Soho
    I let my life go

    Been To Canaan
    Composer(s): Carole King
    Performer(s): Carole King;
    Alice Babs; Peter Duchin; Spectrum



    Green fields and rolling hills
    Room enough to do what we will
    Sweet dreams of yestertime are running though my mind
    Of a place I left behind, been so long, I can't remember when
    I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again

    Been so long, I'm living till then
    Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until
    I go back again
    Though I'm content with myself
    Sometimes I long to be somewhere else
    I try to do what I can, but with our day to day demands
    We all need a promised land

    Been so long,I can't remember when
    I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again
    Been so long, I'm living till then
    'cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until
    I go back again. Oh I want to be there in the wintertime
    With a fireplace burning to warm me
    And you to hold me when it's stormy

    Been so long, I can't remember when
    I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again
    Been so long, I'm living till then

    I Heard You Crying in Your Sleep ((aka (Last Night) I Heard You Crying in Your Sleep (by Roy Orbison) - 1970))
    Composer(s): Hank Williams
    First release by: Hank Williams - 1947



    I know you tried your best to love me
    You smiled when your heart told you to weep
    You tried to pretend that you were happy
    Last night I heard you cryin' in your sleep

    You gave the best years of your life, dear
    And each precious vow you tried to keep
    I love you so much I want you happy
    Last night I heard you cryin' in your sleep

    Your heart is yearnin' for an old love
    With new love it's useless to compete
    It hurts me to know you are unhappy
    Last night I heard you cryin' in your sleep

    You know that you are free to go, dear
    And don't mind me if I start to weep
    I know I can never make you happy
    'Cause last night I heard you cryin' in your sleep

    Been There
    Composer(s): Clint Black; Steve Wariner
    Performer(s): Steve Wariner;
    Clint Black; The Countdown Singers



    Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night
    And wonder where you were
    You need the one and only that can hold you tight
    And reach for her, but she’s not with you
    You just wish this trip would end
    You know I’ve been there and I don’t wanna go back again

    Did you ever wake up in the middle of the day
    And wonder who you are
    You suddenly discover there’s a price you pay
    For gettin’ this far, it’s the part of you
    That you really didn’t have to spend
    You know I’ve been there and I don’t wanna go back again

    So many moments I’ve left incomplete
    Those are the moments that I’m not gonna repeat

    Did you ever wake up in the middle of a dream
    That didn’t come true
    You think you’ve gotta give up on on makin’ that scene
    And seeing it through, you feel like breaking
    When you really just need to bend
    You know I’ve been there and I don’t want to go back again

    There’s so many moments I’ve left incomplete
    Those are the moments that I’m not gonna repeat

    Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night
    Did you ever wake up in the middle of the day
    Did you ever wake up in the middle of a dream

    First release by: The Chad Mitchell Trio - 1962
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Last night I had the strangest dream
    I ever dreamed before
    I dreamed the world had all agreed
    To put an end to war
    I dreamed I saw a mighty room
    The room was filled with men
    And the paper they were signing said
    They'd never fight again

    And when the papers all were signed
    And a million copies made
    They all joined hands and bowed their heads
    And grateful prayers were prayed
    And the people in the streets below
    Were dancing round and round
    And guns and swords and uniforms
    Were scattered on the ground

    Last night I had the strangest dream
    I ever dreamed before
    I dreamed the world had all agreed
    To put an end to war

    Beechwood Park
    Composer(s): Chris White)
    Originally performed by: The Zombies
    Covered by: Colin Blunstone; Chrysanthemums



    Do you remember summer days
    Just after summer rain
    When all the air was damp and warm
    In the green of country lanes?
    And the breeze would touch your hair
    Kiss your face and make you care
    About your world
    Your summer world
    And we would count the evening stars
    As the day grew dark
    In Beechwood Park...

    Do you remember golden days and golden summer sun
    The sound of laughter in our ears
    In the breeze as we would run?
    And the breeze would touch your hair
    Kiss your face and make you care
    About your world
    Your summer world
    And we would count the evening stars
    As the day grew dark
    In Beechwood Park...

    Oh roads in my mind
    Take me back in my mind
    And I can't forget you
    Won't forget you
    Won't forget those days
    And Beechwood Park...

    And the breeze would touch your hair
    Kiss your face and make you care
    About your world
    Your summer world
    And we would count the evening stars
    As the day grew dark
    In Beechwood Park...

    Oh roads in my mind
    Take me back in my mind
    And I can't forget you
    Won't forget you
    Won't forget those days
    And Beechwood Park...

    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

    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

    First release by: The Amazing Rhythm Aces - 1977
    Covered by multiple other artists



    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

    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)

    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
