Let It Rain 
Composer(s): Bonnie Bramlett - Eric Clapton
Performer(s): Eric Clapton



The rain is falling through the mist of sorrow that surrounded me
The sun could never thaw away the the bliss that lays around me

Let it rain, let it rain
Let your love rain down on me
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, rain, rain

Her life was like a desert flower burning in the sun
Until I found the way to love, it's harder said than done

Let it rain, let it rain
Let your love rain down on me
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, rain, rain

Now I know the secret; there is nothing that I lack
If I give my love to you, you'll surely give it back

Let it rain, let it rain
Let your love rain down on me
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, rain, rain

Breakdance
Composer(s): Irene Cara; Bunny Hull; Giorgio Moroder
Performer(s): Irene Cara



Well, what's this new feeling
Coming out of the streets
Everybody's talking 'bout it
Wherever they meet
Down by the corner
I keep getting the heat
Then my feet start moving
To the rhythmic beat

Breakdancing, break out
Breakdancing, break out

They used to do the locomotion
Do the jerk and the twist
But there just ain't never been
Nothing like this
Now popping and locking
Is a new way of talking
Things will work out for sure
Spinning 'out on the floor

Breakdancing, break out
Breakdancing, break out

Hearts are pumping
Beat is thumping
Love the way you're looking tonight
Fever's rising, no surprises
We won't have the chance to fight

Breakdancing, break out
Breakdancing, break out

Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)
Composer(s): B.B. Cunningham Jr. - Gary McEwen - Jerry Masters - John Hunter
Performer(s): Hombres; John Mellencamp



"A preachment, dear friends, you are about to receive
on John Barleycorn, nicotine, and the temptations of Eve"

No parkin' by the sewer sign
Hot dog, my razor's broke
Water drippin' up the spout
But I don't care, let it all hang out

Hangin' from a pine tree by my knees
Sun is shinin' through the shade
Nobody knows what it's all about
It's too much, man, let it all hang out

Saw a man walkin' upside down
My T.V.'s on the blink
Made Galileo look like a Boy Scout
Sorry 'bout that, let it all hang out

Sleep all day, drive all night
Brain my numb, can't stop now
For sure ain't no doubt
Keep an open mind, let it all hang out

It's rainin' inside a big brown moon
How does that mess you baby up, leg
Eatin' a Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut
Don't stop now, baby, let it all hang out

Let it all hang out
Let it all hang out ...

Breakaway
Composer(s): Tom Springfield
Performer(s): The Springfields



Breakaway, my heart is cryin'
Breakaway, the time is flyin'
So, I'm gonna tell myself don't sit and mourn
Lookin' sad and so forlorn
Tell myself I'm glad I'm born
Well, I'm gonna breakaway

Breakaway, the breeze is sighin'
Breakaway, the time is flyin'
So, I'm gonna pack a bag and get my coat
Lock my door and leave a note
Take a train or take a boat
Well, I'm gonna breakaway

I'll take me round from town to town
I'll see the friends I knew
I left 'em by the wayside
But I know their hearts are true

I'll give myself a holiday
I need it oh, so bad
And if I find a new love
I'll be glad, glad, glad

Breakaway, my heart is cryin'
Breakaway, the time is flyin'
So, I'm gonna find out what this world can give
While I'm young I'm gonna live
That's my plan, I'm positive
Well, I'm gonna breakaway

I'll take me round from town to town
I'll see the friends I knew
I left 'em by the wayside
But I know their hearts are true

I'll give myself a holiday
I need it oh-so bad
And if I find a new love
I'll be glad, glad, glad

Breakaway, my heart is cryin'
Breakaway, the time is flyin'
So, I'm gonna find out what this world can give
While I'm young I'm gonna live
That's my plan, I'm positive
Well, I'm gonna breakaway
Gonna breakaway
Gonna breakaway
Breakaway

Let It Grow
Composer(s): Eric Clapton
First release by: Eric Clapton - 1974



I'm standin’ at the crossroads
Tryin’ to read the signs
To tell me which way I should
Go to find the answer
And all the time I know
Let your love and let it grow

Let it grow, let it grow
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun and in the snow
Love is lovely, let it grow

Lookin’ for a reason
To check out on my mind
It’s so hard to find a
Friend that I can count on
There’s nothin’ left to show
Plant your love and let it grow

Let it grow...

Time is gettin’ shorter
And there’s much for you to do
Only ask’n you will get what you are needin’
The rest is up to you
Plant your love and let it grow

Let it grow ...

Tell me what's wrong with you now, tell me why I
Never seem to make you happy though heaven knows I try
What does it take to please you? Tell me just how

First you love me then you hate me, that's a game for fools
Break up to make up that's all we do,
First you love me then you hate me, that's a game for fools

When I come home from workin', you're on the phone
Talkin' about how bad I treat you, now tell me I'm wrong
You say it's me who argues, I'll say it's you 
We have got to get together or baby, we're through

I find complete love
Without your sweet love what would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
speaking words of wisdom
Let it be, let it be 

And in my hour of darkness
she is standing right in front of me 
speaking words of wisdom 
let it be, let it be

And when the broken hearted people 
living in the world agree 
there will be an answer 
let it be, let it be

For though they may be parted there is 
still a chance that they will see 
there will be an answer
let it be, let it be 

let it be, let it be 
let it be, let it be 
there will be an answer
let it be, let it be

And when the night is cloudy
there is still a light that shines on me
shine on until tomorrow
let it be, let it be

I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
speaking words of wisdom 
let it be, let it be
let it be, let it be
let it be, let it be 
There will be an answer 
Let it be, let it be

Let Him Roll
Composer(s): Guy Clark
First release by: Guy Clark - 1975



Well, he was wino, tried and true
Done about everything there is to do
He worked on freighters, an' he'd worked in bars
He worked on farms, an' he'd worked on cars

It was white port that put that look in his eye
Grown men get when they need to cry
We sat down on the curb to rest
And his head just fell down on his chest

He says: "Every single day it gets
"Just a little bit harder to handle and yet ..."
Then he lost the thread and his mind got cluttered
And the words just rolled off down the gutter

Well, he was elevator man in a cheap hotel
In exchange for the rent on a one room cell
An' he's old: years beyond his time
No thanks to the world, and the white port wine

So he said: "Son" He always called me son
Said: "Life for you has just begun"
An' then he told me the story I'd heard before
How he fell in love with a Dallas whore

Now, he could cut through the years to the very night
When it ended in a whore house fight
And she turned his last proposal down
In favor of being a girl about town

Now it's been seventeen years, right in line
He ain't been straight in none of the time
It's too many days of fightin' the weather
An' too many nights of not being together
So he died

An' when they went through his personal effects
In among the stubs from the welfare checks
Was a crumblin' picture of a girl in a door
An' an address in Dallas, and nothin' more

An' the welfare people provided the priest
A couple from the mission down the street
Sang "Amazing Grace", and no one cried
'Cept some lady in black, way off to the side

We all left and she's standing there
A black veil covering her silver hair
Ol' One-Eyed John said her name was Alice
An' she used to be a whore in Dallas

So let him roar, Lord, let him roll
I bet he's gone to Dallas, rest his soul
Just you let him roll, Lord, let him roar
He always said that heaven
Was just a Dallas whore

Just you let him roar, Lord, let him roll
I bet he's gone to Dallas, rest his soul

Break It To Them Gently
Composer(s): Burton Cummings
Performer(s): Burton Cummings;
Randy Bachman; Gil Grand



Break it to them gently when you tell my Mom and Dad
When you see my baby sister be as kind as you can
And break it to my Grandma, who said "That boy's wild and bad"
Break it to them gently when you tell them that I won't be coming home again
'Cause I'm running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive
Fightin for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone
Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive
God I wanna go home
Lord I wish I was home

When you see my lady with the twinkle in her eyes
Tell it to her softly and hold her if she cries
Tell her that I love her and I will til the day I die
Tell it to her gently when you tell her that I won't be coming home 
again

(chorus)
I got in too deep with strangers
Thinking they could help me find my way
But nobody warned me of the dangers
And it's always the young and foolish that have to pay

So break it to them gently when you tell my Mom and Dad
Thank them for the good years and all the lovin that I had
And break it to my Grandma, who said "the boy is wild and bad"
Break it to them gently when you tell 'em that I won't be comin home again

(chorus)

You gotta break it to them gently
Gotta really try to roll 'em
Gotta break it to them gently
Gotta really try to soothe them
Gotta really try to roll 'em
You gotta roll it to my Mother
Gotta roll it to my Grandma
Gotta roll the old lady
Roll it to my Grandma, she's damn near eighty
Roll the old lady

Let Him Go, Let Him Tarry
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Gracie Fields
and multiple other artists



Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy

Fare well to cold winter, summers come at last
Nothing have I gained but my true love I have lost
I'll sing and I'll be happy like the birds up in the trees
Since he deceived me I care no more for he

Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy

He wrote to me a letter saying he was very bad
I sent him back an answer saying I was awful glad 
He wrote to me another saying he was well and strong
But I care no more about him than the ground he walks upon.

Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy

Some of his friends had a good kind wish for me
Others of his friends, they could hang me from a tree
But soon I'll let them see my love, and soon I'll let them know
That I can get a new sweetheart on any ground I go

Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy

He can go to his old mother now and set her mind at ease 
For she's a mean old woman and very hard to please 
It's slighting me and talking ill is what she's always done 
Because I was courting her great big ugly son

Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy

Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy

Oh, dis-moi

Dis-le moi tout doucement

Entre nous, entre nous
Oui, juste pour un seul jour

Oh, dis-moi
Oh, puisque tu pars
Laisse-moi pleurer tout doucement
Et parle-moi, même si tu mens
Je te croirai comme avant

Nous avions tout
Nous étions tout
Le ciel c'était nous, vraiment
Si tu reprends en moi l'amour
Reprends-le doucement

Oh, dis-moi, dis-moi, très lentement
Donne-moi de voir, hélas, que j'ai perdu
Que j'apprenne ce qu'est la peine
Car après toi, mon cœur, le sais-tu?
Il n'aimera, non, jamais plus

Covered by various other artists



Break it to me gently, let me down the easy way
Make me feel that you still love me
if it's just, if it's just for one more day
Break it to me gently, so my tears, my tears wont fall too fast

If you must go, then go slowly
Let me love you 'till then

The love we shared, for oh so long is such a big part of me
If you must take your love a way, take it gradually

Break it, break it to me gently
Give me time, oh give me a little time to ease the pain
Love me just a little longer, 'cause I'll never ever love again
'Cause I'll never love again

Composer(s): M. Farr
First release by: Marianne Faithfull - 1965



At last it's over
I knew I could not hold him
His love for freedom
Was far too strong
But though he's gone now
My life is just beginning
I'll soon forget him
I'll soon forget him
I must forget him, Lord!
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new day beginning
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new love that waits for me
Will I remember
Will I still hear him whisper?
Will I still feel his
Lips on mine?
In dreams I see him
Perhaps he'll stay forever
And all I'm wishing
And all I'm hoping
And all my longing, too
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new day beginning
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new love that waits for me
He made me happy
And though I suffered, too
There's no mistaking
Our love was true
But such a sweet love
Just wasn't meant to be
And it's all over
Yes, it's all over
And now it's done I'll start anew
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new day beginning
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new love beginning
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new day beginning
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new love beginning
Sha-la-la ...

Break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out

I've held back my tears
Just as long as I could
But now my eyes can see
It's all over for you and me
And holding back ain't gonna do no good

Now my aching heart knows that we're apart
And I can't hide it anymore

So I'm gonna break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out

I remember when you used to love me and oh how sweet it was...

So before I loose my mind...yeah

Break down and let it all out

My eyes are open and now I see it's all over for you and me
Break down and let it all out
