Lonesome And A Long Way From Home Composer(s): Bonnie Bramlett - Delaney Bramlett - Leon Russell Performer(s): Eric Clapton and multiple other artists
Out on an open highway Such a lovely day but something's wrong Something, something's gotta be wrong
I just left home this morning This old road keeps rolling on and on Rolling, rolling on and on
Won't somebody help me? Won't somebody help me? Won't somebody help me? I've never been so lonesome and long way from home Never been lonesome and long way Never been lonesome and long way from home
Lonesome 7-7203 ((Dutch Version: Draai 797204 (by Will Tura) - 1964)) Composer(s): Justin Tubb First release by: Hawkshaw Hawkins - 1962 Covered by multiple other artists
Had our number changed today, although I hated to But each time the phone would ring They'd want to speak to you And it hurts to tell them, you're not here with me Maybe now, ole telephone will let me be
It's not in the book now, so you'd better write it down Just in case your love for me should ever come around You might want to call and break the news to me Just call Lonesome 7-7203
I keep the telephone beside me all the time Hoping you might want to call and say you've changed your mind If you do, then darling you know where I'll be I'm at Lonesome 7-7203
You're the only one I've given our new number to So now if the telephone should ring I'll know it's you If you ever long for love that used to be Just call Lonesome 7-7203 Just call Lonesome 7-7203
In My Little Corner Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II
I'm as mild and as meek as a mouse When I hear a command I obey But I know of a spot in my house Where no one can stand in my way
In my own little corner In my own little chair I can be whatever I want to be On the wing of my fancy I can fly anywhere And the world will open it's arms to me
I'm a young Egyptian princess Or a milkmaid I'm the greatest prima donna in the land I'm an heiress who has always had her silk made By her own flock of silkworms in Japan
I'm a girl men go mad for Love's a game I can play With a cool and confidant kind of aire Just as long as I stay in my own little corner All alone in my own little chair
...I can be whatever I want to be I'm a thief from Calcutta I'm a queen in Peru I'm a mermaid dancing upon the sea I'm a huntress on an African safari! It's a dang'rous type of sport And yet it's fun In the night I sally forth to seek my quarry And I find I forgot to bring my gun I am lost in the jungle All alone and unarmed When I meet a lioness in her lair Then I'm glad to be back in my own little corner All alone in my own little chair
In my own little corner In my own little chair I can be whatever I want to be On the wing of my fancy I can fly anywhere And the world will open it's arms to me I am in the royal palace Of all places! I am chatting with the prince And king, and queen And the color of my two stepsisters' faces Is a queer sort of sour apple green I am coy and flirtatious when alone with the prince A-hahahaha! Oh, my Your Highness, you shouldn't say such things!! I'm the Belle of the Ball in my own little corner All alone in my own little chair Fol-de-rol and fiddle-dee-dee Fiddle-dee-faddle-dee-fawdle All the wishes in all the world Are poppy cot and twaut Fol-de-rol and fiddle-dee-dee Fiddle-dee-faddle-dee-foodle All the dreamers in all the world Are dizzy in the noodle!
Lonesome Composer(s): Hugh Nicholson Performer(s): Blue
I get lonely When I'm only Sitting here babe On my own If I want to I could turn to Picking numbers on the 'phone But it's not the way it's got to be When I need your loving close to me
I get happy When you're near me I get sad When you're far away Tell me, tell me Should I leave Or should I stay
But it's not the way it's got to be When I need your loving close to me And I won't sit back and let it happen To me
This depression's surely messing up my whole way of living Need you near me need to steer me Away from all pain I'm given
But it's not the way it's got to be When I need you really close to me I won't sit back and let it happen To me
In My Life Composer(s): Paul McCartney; John Lennon First release by: The Beatles - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
There are places I'll remember all my life though some have changed Some forever not for better some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments with lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living in my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers there is no one compares with you and these memories lose their meaning when I think of love as something new Though I know I'll never lose affection for people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them in my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection for people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them in my life I love you more
Lonesome Composer(s): Bert Pellish Performer(s): Adam Faith
Do you know what it's like to be lonesome Do you know how it feels to be blue Do you still get a thrill From the dreams we used to share And the star that we wished upon Have you noticed, it's still there
And if you only knew how much, how much I missed you Missed your lips pressed to mine so tenderly If you know what it's like to be lonesome Then, darling, please hurry home to me
If you know what it's like to be lonesome Then, darling, please hurry home to me

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
