Lonely Wind Composer(s): Steve Walsh Performer(s): Kansas
When I'm needin' a friend I can talk to the wind God I sure am glad that I found him Sometimes he seems to be the only one beside me Who can feel the Lord's breath all around him Winter's cold frozen ice or a bright autumn day On a warm summer night you can hear him say
Cry for me, sigh for me, sad breezes flow Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know My lonely wind must blow
Mighty friend that is mine, can you give me a sign? He'll leave nothing but only to hear him I've seen the tall trees bend low when his mighty winds blow And that's all the more reason I fear him Hear him call for the earth lonely I can feel his great pain But on the eve of this day I'll join in his refrain
Cry for me, sigh for me, sad breezes flow Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know My lonely wind must blow
When I'm needing a friend I'll remember the wind And my life here with the breezes of sorrow I'll be leaving himoon 'cause I've got to make room For the lonely that will find him tomorrow On a black stormy night in your bosom I'll cling And I'll know I've found love and the last song we'll sing
Cry for me, sigh for me, sad breezes flow Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know My lonely wind must blow
In My Hour Of Darkness Composer(s): Gram Parsons; Emmylou Harris First release by: Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
In my hour of darkness In my time of need Oh, Lord grant me vision Oh, Lord grant me speed
Once I knew a young man Went driving through the night Miles and miles without a word With just his high-beam lights Who'd have ever though they'd build such a deadly Denver bend To be so strong, to take as long as it would till the end
In my hour of darkness In my time of need Oh, Lord grant me vision Oh, Lord grant me speed
Another young man safely strummed his silver string guitar And he played to people everywhere Some say he was a star But he was just a country boy his simple songs confess And the music he had in him so very few possess
In my hour of darkness In my time of need Oh, Lord grant me vision Oh, Lord grant me speed
Then there was an old man Kind and wise with age And he read me just like a book and he never missed a page And I loved him like my father And I loved him like my friend And I knew his time would shortly come but I did not know just when
In my hour of darkness In my time of need Oh, Lord grant me vision Oh, Lord grant me speed Oh, Lord grant me vision Oh, Lord grant me speed

Well I'm makin' alright (Well I'm makin' alright) From Monday morning till Friday night Oh, those lonely weekends

In My Hole Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Every time a bird sings Every time a bell rings I go berserk I climb into my hole And sit there like a mole Playing with the dirt Contradicting people who think of me as being So soft and gentle Very clean I used to have a daisy A purple one called Maisy Stuck on my bed It didn't bother me Yet when the landlord, Freestone saw it he said Take it out at once or evicted you must go So here I am in my hole Watching people pass me by Each of them in their own world and me in mine I've never bitten off any more than I can chew Never wanted too- Every time a bird sings Every time a bell rings I go berserk And as I've said before I sit there like a mole Playing with the dirt Call it what you like And by all means tell a soul I'm very happy in my hole Running round from time to time Stopping only to unwind Everything I have is mine In my hole Length about the width of a pole Width about the length of a bowl Hollywood style!
Lonely Too Long Composer(s): Marty Robbins Performer(s): Marty Robbins; Don Johnson
She's on the phone again Wants to come home again Wants to try one more time To prove she's really mine She wants to try again I know she'll lie again To take her back is wrong But I've been lonely too long
The chance is very slim That she's forgotten him She may be tryin' to hide The hurt, the wounded pride There's just a chance that she Might reconsider me But chances are I'm wrong But I've been lonely too long
Lonely too long, too long Walked on like dirt Lonely too long, too long And oh, how it hurts She knows that I'll give in I'll take her back again And once more I'll be wrong But I've been lonely too long
In My Defence Composer(s): Dave Clark; Jeff Daniels; David Soames Performer(s): Freddie Mercury
In my defence what is there to say All the mistakes we made must be faced today It's not easy now knowing where to start While the world we love tears itself apart
I'm just a singer with a song How can I try to right the wrong For just a singer with a melody I'm caught in between With a fading dream
In my defence what is there to say We destroy the love - it's our way We never listen enough never face the truth Then like a passing song Love is here and then it's gone
I'm just a singer with a song How can I try to right the wrong For just a singer with a melody I'm caught in between With a fading dream
I'm just a singer with a song How can I try to right the wrong I'm just a singer with a melody I'm caught in between with a fading dream Caught in between with a fading dream Caught in between with a fading dream
Oh what on earth Oh what on earth How do I try Do we live or die
Lonely Teenager Composer(s): Jim (H. M.) Faraci - Sal Rappa - Sandro Di Paolo Performer(s): Dion
I wanna go home Where I belong 'Cause now I'm just a lonely teenager When I was 16 ran away All alone on a stray What can I do what can I say I'm a lonely teenager Now I'm 17 still alone Wondering if I should go home Or maybe stay out on my own I'm a lonely teenager I'd love to go back home (back home) Where I belong (back home) I know I'd be alright If I just stay out of sight I wanna go home Where I belong 'Cause now I'm just a lonely teenager (I wanna go back home Just let me go back home) I'd love to go back home (back home) Where I belong (back home) I know I'd be alright If I just stay out of sight I wanna go home Where I belong 'Cause now i'm just a lonely teenager (I wanna go back home Please let me go back home) Lonely teenager ...
In My Arms Composer(s): Ted Grouya; Frank Loesser Performer(s): Dick Haymes and multiple other artists
His cousin had sent him a sweater And his sister wrote a letter But he wanted something much better This boy who was sailing away For his buddies were with their sweethearts All around him with their sweethearts Now he'd never had any sweethearts And over and over he'd say
In my arms, in my arms Ain't I never gonna have a girl in my arms In my arms, in my arms Ain't I never gonna get a bundle of charms Comes the dawn, I'll be gone I just gotta have a honey holdin' me tight You can keep your knittin' and purlin' If I'm gonna go to Berlin Gimme a girl in my arms tonight
His grandma had sent him some candy And as he chewed on the candy He said my morale is just dandy And still there's a tear in my eye For his buddies were there with their sweethearts Kissing bye-bye with their sweethearts Now he'd never had any sweethearts And over and over he'd cry
In my arms, in my arms Ain't I never gonna have a girl in my arms In my arms, in my arms Ain't I never gonna get a bundle of charms Comes the dawn, I'll be gone And I thank you for the many letters you'll write As for something nice and cute and female I'll never get it in the V-mail Gimme a girl in my arms tonight
In my arms, in my arms Ain't I never gonna have a girl in my arms In my arms, in my arms Ain't I never gonna get a bundle of charms Comes the dawn, I'll be gone I'll be headin' for the very thick of the fight You can wine and dine and cigarette me But if you really wanna get me Gimme a girl in my arms tonight
In my arms, in my arms Ain't I never gonna have a girl in my arms In my arms, in my arms Ain't I never gonna get a bundle of charms Comes the dawn, I'll be gone Now does anyone wanna please treat me right You can keep your shavin' cream and lotion If I'm a-gonna cross the ocean Give me a girl in my arms tonight

In M'n Droom Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Nelly Byl Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Nooit zal jij m'n meisje zijn Omdat jij met een ander trouwt Met een jongen die van je houdt En die mij als zijn vriend beschouwt Nooit zal jij m'n meisje zijn Omdat je te aller eerlijk bent En hem al je liefde schenkt Je bent niet vrij 't is nu voorbij
Maar in m'n droom Neem ik jou steeds in m'n armen zo zacht In m'n droom Hou ik jou altijd zo dicht bij m'n hart In m'n droom Staat er niemand tussen jou en mij Is er niemand zo verliefd als jij Toch weet ik dat het nooit kan zijn
Nooit zal jij m'n meisje zijn Van m'n liefde vermoed je niets Als je mij in de ogen ziet Daar mijn gelaat mij nooit verraadt Heel m'n houding is maar schijn Heel m'n leven een soort toneel Dat ik dagelijks komedie speel Maar 's nachts dan komt het tweede deel
Maar in m'n droom Neem ik jou steeds in m'n armen zo zacht In m'n droom Hou ik jou altijd zo dicht bij m'n hart In m'n droom Staat er niemand tussen jou en mij Is er niemand zo verliefd als jij Toch weet ik dat het nooit kan zijn Dat het nooit, nooit kan zijn Dat het nooit, nooit kan zijn Dat het nooit, nooit kan zijn
Bella Maria De Mi Alma ((English Version: Beautiful Maria Of My Soul (by Los Lobos) - 1987)) Composer(s): Robert Kraft - Arne Glimcher Performer(s): Antonio Banderas & Compay Segundo and multiple other artists
Si deseo sonreír Pienso solamente en ti En la magia del amor En tu piel, en tu sabor
En la isla del dolor Recuerdo tu calor Desearía morir Cerca de ti
Un ardiente corazón Colorea mi pasión Deseando compartir El sentir de este vivir
En las olas de este mar Sueño en la eternidad Con cada luna vendrás Con la marea te irás
En un caracol Pienso oír tu voz La bella María de mi amor
Aunque estemos separados En un sueño angelical Si llego de nuevo a amar No hay razón, porque cambiar
Temo yo permanecer Sin ti en la eternidad Lejos nos pueden separar Jamás pudiera olvidar Tu risa celestial Tus besos, tu calor La bella María de mi amor
Si no te vuelvo a ver No dejarás de ser La bella María de mi amor
Als je binnenkomt en ik jou sterk en stoer zie gaan Dan breekt het vuur uit in m'n buik en blijft de wereld staan Als je naar me kijkt dan vallen alle remmen weg Want met je ogen heb je al m'n kleren uitgedaan
Maar al ben ik maar gewoon een vrouw, eentje die jij hebben wou Ik ben niet zo gemakkelijk als je wellicht denken zou Ook al brandt er in m'n binnenste alles wat jij hebben wou Toch bewaar ik nog een sprankeltje ongrijpbaarheid voor jou In m'n bloed
Je kan me niet vergeten want je loopt me steeds weer na En ik zie hoe jij je voelt, waar ik ook ga Al val ik voor jouw liefde, toch geef ik me niet zomaar Als ik mij zal geven is m'n ja echt ja
Want al ben ik maar gewoon een vrouw, eentje die jij hebben wou Ik ben niet zo gemakkelijk als je wellicht denken zou Ook al brandt er in m'n binnenste alles wat jij hebben wou Toch bewaar ik nog een sprankeltje ongrijpbaarheid voor jou In m'n bloed In m'n bloed In m'n bloed
Lonely Street Composer(s): Carl Belew - Kenny Sowder - W.S. Stevenson First release by: Carl Belew - 1956 Covered by multiple other artists
Where's this place called "Lonely Street?
I'm looking for that Lonely street I've got a sad, sad tale to tell I need a place to go and weep Where's this place called Lonely Street?
A place where there's just loneliness Where dim lights bring forgetfulness Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet Where's this place called Lonely Street?
Perhaps upon that Lonely street There's someone such as I Who came to bury broken dreams And watch an old love die
If I could find that Lonely street Where dim lights bring forgetfulness Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet Where's this place called Lonely Street?
In Love In Vain Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Leo Robin First release by: Margaret Whiting - 1946 Covered by multiple other artists
It's only human for anyone to want to be in love Who wants to be in love in vain? At night you hang around the house and eat your heart out And cry your eyes out And wrack your brain
You sit and wonder how anyone as wonderful as he Could cause you such misery and pain
I thought that I would be in heaven But I'm only up a tree
'Cause it's just my luck to be in love in vain
You sit and wonder how anyone as wonderful as he Could cause you such misery and pain
I thought that I would be in heaven But I'm only up a tree
'Cause its just my luck to be in love, just my luck to be in love
Lonely Sky Composer(s): Chris de Burgh Performer(s): Chris de Burgh; Finbar Wright
The cold north wind they call "La Bise" Is swirling round about my knees Trees are crying leaves into the river
I'm huddled in this french caf I never thought I'd see the day But winter's here and summer's really over
And even the birds have packed up and gone They're flying south with their song And my love, she too has gone, she had to fly
Out there, it's such a lonely sky They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight They'll build a cage and steal your only sky Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
The old cathedral lights are low She and I we'd often go there To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer
Lords and ladies lie in stone Hand in hand from long ago And though their hands are cold they'll love forever
Even the choir rehearses those songs For Christmas is not long And alone, I sing my song, she had to fly
Take care, it's such a lonely sky They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight They'll build a cage and steal your only sky Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ... I'll come in with the dawn I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky On the wings of the morn I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky Above the world we'll be flying I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
In Love Alone Performer(s): Richard Carpenter & Dionne Warwick
I memorize the words I want to say I practice every move I'll make I polay the scene like you were here and I feel every breath you take But all my plans just seem to melt away the moment you walk in the room I try to speak but words won't come Till I'm alone again I'm leaving my heart on the shelf sleep is a place I only cry myself and dream by myself I'm not in love alone we put our two hearts together just like I've always known Once we begin we're forever and I will never spend a long night without you again So now you know what I've been going through Now all I really need to know Is why your eyes look so surprised Oh no! This can't be true Would you have let me walk away? Why have you kept your feelings locked away? Did I hear you say? I'm not in love alone we put our two hearts together just like I've always known Once we begin we're forever and I will never spend a long night without you again
Lonely School Composer(s): Tommy Shaw Performer(s): Tommy Shaw
I drove past where we used to live You might have caught a glimpse of me As I passed by I swear it's still hard to believe
But at the time it seemed so clear to me I thought I had it all worded out I packed all that was dear to me And I left without a doubt that I'd
Given it all I had to give Still nothing moved nothing changed Nothing lived I did everything that I could do
But now I've had time to sort it out To graduate from lonely school And now I've got to let you know It's me who was the fool
It was me baby I was wrong But how can I say it You must have known it all along It was you who was always strong And I've got to tell you now I've got to show you how I've
Changed so many of my ways I left the band, steadied my hand and learned a trade And I'm coming back this time to stay
And you won't recognize the boy Who graduated lonely school 'Cause I've become quite wise about Who was or not the fool
It was me baby I was wrong But how can I say it You must have known it all along It was you who was always strong And I've got to tell you now I've got to show you how I've ...
Ever since I met you, baby, I've been wanting to lay you down But it's so hard to get you, baby, when you never come around Every day that U keep it away, it only makes me want it more Ooo baby, just say the word and I'll be at your door What more do I have to say? I really wanna play in your river... falling, falling, falling in love I'm falling, baby, deeper every day (in love) You're breakin' my heart and takin' me away (in love) I'm falling, baby, girl, what can I do? I just can't be without you
Ever since I met you, baby There's been something inside of me That keeps me wanting you, baby, won't you set me free Take off these chains, girl, and I'll take off yours There's no one in the world, baby, that I wanna love more What else do I have to say? I really wanna play in your river...
Falling, falling, falling in love I'm falling, baby, deeper every day (in love) You're breakin' my heart and takin' me away (in love) I'm falling, baby, girl, what can I do? I just can't be without you
I'm falling in love I'm falling, baby, deeper everyday (in love) You're breakin' my heart and takin' me away (in love) And I'm falling, baby, girl, what can I do? I just can't be without you
I'm falling... I'm falling... (in love) I'm drownin', baby, in my love 4 you (in love) You're breakin' my heart and takin' me away I just don't... I don't know what to say
Lonely People Composer(s): Dan Peek - Catherine L. Peek First release by: America - 1974
This is for all the lonely people Thinking that life has passed them by Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup And ride that highway in the sky
This is for all the single people Thinking that love has left them dry Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup You never know until you try
Well, I'm on my way Yes, I'm back to stay Well, I'm on my way back home (Hit it)
This is for all the lonely people Thinking that life has passed them by Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup And never take you down or never give you up You never know until you try
