    Long, Long Way To Go
    Composer(s): Phil Collins
    Performer(s): Phil Collins



    While I sit here trying to think of things to say
    Someone lies bleeding in a field somewhere
    So it would seem we've still got a long, long way to go
    I've seen all I want to see today
    While I sit here trying to move you anyway I can
    Someone's son lies dead in a gutter somewhere
    And it would seem that we've got a long, long way to go
    But I can't take it anymore
    Turn it off if you want to
    Switch it off it will go away
    Turn it off if you want to
    Switch it off or look away
    While I sit and we talk and talk and we talk some more
    Someone's loved one's heart stops beating in a street somewhere
    So it would seem we've still got a long, long way to go, I know
    I've heard all I want to hear today
    Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
    Switch it off it will go away (switch it off it will go away)
    Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
    Switch it off or look away (switch it off or look away)
    Switch it off
    Turn it off

    Sad Sweet Dreamer ((French Version: Carolina (Joe Dassin)) Composer(s): Des Parton Performer(s): Sweet Sensation



    Sad sweet dreamer
    It's just one of those things you put down to experience
    Sad sweet dreamer
    It's just one of those things you put down to experience

    Ooh-wah-wah ooh-wah-wah ooh
    Ooh-wah-wah ooh-wah-wah ooh

    Been another blue day without you girl
    Been another sad summer song
    I've been thinking about you girl
    All night long

    Been another sad tear on my pillow
    Been another memory to tell me you're the one girl
    I've been thinking about you girl
    All night long

    Sad sweet dreamer
    It's just one of those things you put down to experience
    Sad sweet dreamer
    It's just one of those things you put down to experience

    (Ooh-wah-wah ooh-wah-wah ooh)
    Been another long night and I've missed you girl
    (Ooh-wah-wah ooh-wah-wah ooh)
    Been another story from those endless magazines
    (Ooh-wah-wah ooh-wah-wah ooh)
    Can't help thinking about you girl
    All night long

    Sad sweet dreamer
    It's just one of those things you put down to experience
    Sad sweet dreamer
    It's just one of those things you put down to experience

    Was so happy when I found you
    But how was I to know?
    That you would leave me walking down that road.....

    Been another hard luck story
    Been another man who thought that he was oh so strong
    I've been thinking about you girl
    All night long

    Sad sweet dreamer
    It's just one of those things you put down to experience
    Sad sweet dreamer
    It's just one of those things you put down to experience
    Sad sweet dreamer
    It's just one of those things you put down to experience
    Sad sweet dreamer
    It's just one of those things you put down to experience

    Long Way To Hollywood
    Composer(s): Steve Young
    Performer(s): Steve Young; Hank Williams



    Babe, I hate to leave you down here
    In this one horse town
    Where the trains run through your early dreams
    Just to leave an old wailing sound ...

    Oh but I'll come back
    I will return
    Honey, won't you wait for me?
    I'm bound to travel the USA
    Across the desert to the sea

    ('Cause) I've got another song about the south
    It's white and it's black
    There ain't no banjo on my knee
    But that song's on my back

    It's a long long way to Hollywood
    And a short change for fame
    All them slicks talk about downhome
    But I know that's a southern game

    It's a long long way to Hollywood
    And a short change for fame
    All them slicks talk about downhome
    But I know that's a southern game

    I've got another song for all the old people
    Down in the Georgia night
    I know their wings are heavy
    They been on a lonesome flight

    All the old depression people
    I know they took a heavy load
    All their children, my kinfolk's and cousins
    Still walking on Tobacco Road

    Well they still talk about Hank Williams
    Clinging unto his fame
    Hey, I'm of the same race, I'm from the same place
    I got the same lonesome blood in my veins

    It's a long long way to Hollywood
    And a short change for fame
    All them slicks talk about downhome
    But I know that's a southern game ...

    (I've Lost You) So Why Should I Care
    Composer(s): Richard Howard
    Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



    The beautiful story is ended
    Our wonderful romance is through
    And I might have known it was only a dream
    For it all seemed too good to be true
    For the wrongs that we do we must suffer
    And that's just the reason we met
    You came that I might make atonement
    Through you I must pay ev'ry debt

    We bring nothing in the world with us
    We can take nothing out when we go
    So why should we care if we live or we die
    When our gladness is turned into woe
    I'll be glad when my sad life is over
    When they lay me away to my rest
    For while I must live broken hearted
    The worst can be only the best

    Oh why should I care what becomes of me now
    I had nothing to live for but you
    Oh why should I care if I fall by the way
    When I know that no longer you're true
    My sorrow is sending me down to my grave
    'T is greater than I can bear
    If they bar me away, from heaven some day
    I've lost you so why should I care

    Long Way Back To Love
    Composer(s): Ben Peters
    Performer(s): Roy Drusky



    Once I tried to tell you that some day his love would end
    You just said it's none of mine concern
    Now that it's all over you reach out for me again
    Back across the bridges we have burned

    But it's a long way back to love
    Even though we're just a step apart
    It's a long way back to love
    All the way back through a broken heart

    I didn't think that I could take it when you walked away
    But somehow I made it all alone
    Since you've left I've spent the most of ev'ry night and day
    Gettin' used to knowin' you were gone

    And it's a long way back to love
    Even though we're just a step apart
    It's a long way back to love
    All the way back through a broken heart

    It's a long way back to love
    Even though we're just a step ...

    I've Lost My Mummy
    Composer(s): Rolf Harris
    Performer(s): Rolf Harris



    Just like the inside of any big shop
    people were everywhere
    Suddenly business was brought to a stop
    when a terrible yell hit the air...

    I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa
    I've lost my mummy
    I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa
    I've lost my mummy!
    ub, ub hup ub hup hup ub hup hup ub

    People all gathered to look at the lad
    patted him on the head
    (Woman) Where was your mummy, when you saw her last?
    Turning to her the boy said...

    I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa
    I've lost my mummy
    I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa
    I've lost my mummy!
    ub, ub hup ub hup hup ub hup hup ub

    Down came the manager to fix up the mess
    took the small boy aside
    (Manager) Come on now lad, let's have your name and address
    With a lungful of air he replied...

    I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa
    I've lost my mummy
    I've lost my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa
    I've lost my mummy!
    ub, ub hup ub hup hup ub hup hup ub

    Well just then his mother appeared on the spot
    gave him a hefty whack
    (Mother) That oughta teach you to go and get lost!
    and the little boy's voice floated back...

    I've found my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa
    I've found my mummy
    I've found my mummy, a-ha-ha-haaaa
    I've found my mummy!
    No mummy, I don't wanna go, no mummy I don't wanna, no mummy!

    Long Train Runnin'
    Composer(s): Tom Johnston
    First release by: The Doobie Brothers - 1973
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Down around the corner a half a mile from here
    you see them old trains runnin'
    and you watch them disappear

    Without love, where would you be now, without love?

    You know I saw Miss Lucy down along the tracks
    she lost her home and her family
    and she won't be comin' back

    Without love, where would you be now, without love?

    Well, the Illinois Central
    and the Southern Central Freight
    gotta keep on pushin', Mama
    `cause you know they're runnin' late

    Without love, where would you be now, without love?

    Well, the Illinois Central
    and the Southern Central Freight
    gotta keep on pushin', Mama
    `cause you know they're runnin' late

    Without love, where would you be now, without love?

    Where pistons keep on churnin'
    and the wheels go `round and `round
    and the steal rails are cold and hard
    for the miles that they go down

    Without love, where would ya be right now
    without love, where would you be now?

    Got to get it, baby, baby, won't you move it down?
    Won't you move it down?
    Baby, baby, baby, baby, won't you move it down?
    When the big train run
    And the train is movin' on
    I got to keep on movin'
    Keep on movin'
    Keep on movin'
    Gonna keep on movin'

    I've Lived, I've Loved, I'm Satisfied (What More Is There To Say?)
    Composer(s): Lew Brown; Ben Barnett; Albert Von Tilzer



    I found that life is worth living
    That hope is rewarded some day
    I thought I'd never find happiness
    But at last it has come my way

    Some people long for great riches
    For glory, some others will try
    Heaven has blessed me with something that
    All the gold in the world can't buy

    I longed for a wonderful sweetheart
    'T was then dear that I met you
    I dreamed of a cottage with roses
    My dream of that cottage came true
    I prayed for the love of a baby
    And my prayers were answered one day
    I've lived, I've loved, I'm satisfied
    What more is there to say

    I've Just Told Mama Goodbye
    Composer(s): Curly Kinsley; Slim Sweet
    Performer(s): Hank Williams; Johnny Duncan



    Each year on Mother's Day
    The rose I wore was red
    But today I'm sayin' my first prayer
    Mama's lying on her dying bed

    I've just told mama goodbye
    Mother's Day has turned to night
    Like the flowers of May she withered away
    And my red rose is turnin' white

    This is the dreaded hour
    We all must face some day
    Yet there's consolation in my heart
    She will bloom in the Master's bouquet

    I've just told mama goodbye
    Mother's Day has turned to night
    Like the flowers of May she withered away
    And my red rose is turnin' white

    Her time has come to go
    And there's nothin' I can do
    Only hold her hand and say goodbye
    Mama's day with her children is through

    I've just told mama goodbye
    And knelt beside her bed
    I heard her say I'll meet you some day
    Where the white roses turn to red

    Long time no see

    If you're on the level why don't you tell me
    Why me no see you any more
    Let him go, let him go
    Ev'ryone keeps tellin' me
    But my heart can no agree
    Guess my heart knows best
    And the rest is up to you
    Honestly, am I just a fool for stringin' along

    Like to know why long time no see

    Like to know why long time no see
    Me love you, you love who

    It wouldn't be, it wouldn't be
    Long time no see
    It could be true that I love you
    I miss you so, long time no see

    You cheated me and made me lonely

    and multiple other artists



    It seems to me I've heard that song before
    It's from an old familiar score
    I know it well, that melody
    It's funny how a theme recalls a favorite dream
    A dream that brought you so close to me

    I know each word because I've heard that song before
    The lyrics said "Forever more"
    Forever more's a memory
    Please have them play it again
    And I'll remember just when
    I heard that lovely song before

    It's been such a long time
    I think I should be going
    And time doesn't wait for me
    It keeps on rolling
    Sail on
    On a distant highway
    I've got to keep on chasing a dream
    I've gotta be on my way
    Wish there was something I could say

    Well, I'm taking my time
    I'm just moving on
    You'll forget about me after I've been gone
    And I take what I find
    I don't want no more
    It's just outside of your front door
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    It's been such a long time
    It's been such a long time

    Well (Woo?) I get so lonely
    When I am without you
    But in my mind, deep in my mind
    I can't forget about you
    Good times
    And faces that remind me
    I'm trying to forget your name
    And leave it all behind me
    You're coming back to find me

    Well, I'm taking my time

    I think I should be going
    And time doesn't wait for me
    It keeps on rolling
    There's a long road
    I've gotta stay in time with
    I've got to keep on chasing that dream
    Though I may never find it
    I'm always just behind it

    Well, I'm taking my time
    I'm just moving on
    You'll forget about me after I've been gone
    And I take what I find
    I don't want no more
    It's just outside of your front door
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    It's been such a long time
    It's been such a long time

    Well, I'm taking my time
    I'm just moving on
    (Repeat) ...

    I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face
    (Dutch & Spanish Versions: Ik Voel Dat Ik Haar Mis (Wim Sonneveld); A Su Mirar Me Acostumbré (Manolo Fabregas))
    Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe
    First performance/First release by: Rex Harrison - 1956
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!
    I've grown accustomed to her face
    She almost makes the day begin
    I've grown accustomed to the tune
    That she whistles night and noon
    Her smiles, her frowns
    Her ups, her downs
    Are second nature to me now
    Like breathing out and breathing in

    I was serenly independent
    And content before we met
    Surely I could always be that way again - and yet
    I've grown accustomed to her look
    Accustomed to her voice
    Accustomed to her face

    Marry Freddy
    What an infantile idea
    What a heartless, wicked, brainless thing to do
    But she'll regret it
    It's doomed before they even take the vow

    I can see her now, Mrs. Freddy Eynsford-Hill
    In a wretched little flat above a store
    I can see her now, not a penny in the till
    And a bill collector beating at the door
    She'll try to teach the things I taught her
    And end up selling flowers instead
    Begging for her bread and water
    While her husband has his breakfast in bed

    In a year or so, when she's prematurely grey
    And the blossom in her cheek has turned to chalk
    She'll come home and lo
    He'll have upped and run away
    With a social-climbing heiress from New York
    Poor Eliza. How simply frightful!
    How humiliating! How delightful!

    How poignant it'll be on that inevitable night
    When she hammers on my door in tears and rags
    Miserable and lonely, repentant and contrite
    Will I take her in or hurl her to the walls?
    Give her kindness or the treatment she deserves?
    Will I take her back or throw the baggage out?

    But, I'm a most forgiving man
    The sort who never could, never would
    Take a position and staunchly never budge
    A most forgiving man

    But I shall never take take her back
    If she were even crawling on her knees
    Let her promise to atone
    Let her shiver, let her moan
    I'll slam the door and let the hell-cat freeze!

    Marry Freddy, Ha!

    But I'm so used to hear her day
    "Good morning" ev'ry day
    Her joys, her woes
    Her highs, her lows
    Are second nature to me now
    Like breathing out and breathing in

    I'm very grateful she's a woman
    And so easy to forget, rather like a habit
    One can always break - and yet
    I've grown accustomed to the trace
    Of something in the air
    Accustomed to her face

    Long Thin Dawn
    Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
    First release by: Gordon Lightfoot - 1968



    That long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again
    I've seen the hills of Frisco and the streets of Montreal
    In every town I've been to, I've had someone to call
    From Winnipeg to Edmonton, Vancouver to St. Paul
    I've had so many good friends I couldn't miss them all
    And that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again

    Last night I came to Denver beneath the snow-capped ridge
    I thought about my darling as I stood beneath the bridge
    And there were times I made her cry but I guess by now she's learned
    that any time I've wandered, I always have returned
    And that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again

    Right now I'm on a highway just east of Omaha
    riding shotgun on the biggest rig you ever saw
    With forty tons of pig iron and a trucker known as Bill
    all the way to Windsor, we've got some miles to kill
    And that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again

    While climbing up a hillside, Bill drops her down a gear
    And the engine sings so sweetly, 'tis music to my ear
    I tell him how I long to be just like him if I can
    driving like the restless wind across this precious land
    and that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again

    Says Bill "the air is clean tonight" as he puffs a big cigar
    "and if this rig keeps rolling, my boy you'll travel far
    But when you are a trucker you'll come to realize
    the only thing a man can do is watch the world go by"
    And that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again
    That long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again

    I've Gotta Sing Away These Blues
    Composer(s): Jeri Cooper
    Performer(s): Doris Day



    My sweet man's left me
    And I've got a torch I must lose
    I may have to die some
    And surely I'll cry some
    But I've gotta sing away these blues

    It's heartbreak time now
    And so it's a sad song I choose
    You may find it dreary
    But Lord I'm so weary
    I've gotta sing away these blues

    I thought my role was certain
    He was mine, he was mine, he was mine
    But then fate rang down the curtain
    And all I have left is a heart that's bereft

    And now it's over
    And I'm still payin' love's dues
    My heart was a glad thing
    That turned into sad thing
    I've gotta sing away these blues

    Yes I've gotta sing away these blues
    These blues

    I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues
    Composer(s): Harold Arlen; Ted Koehler
    First release by: Cab Calloway & His Orch. - 1932
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I gotta right to sing the blues
    I gotta right to feel low down
    I gotta right to hang around
    Down around the river

    A certain gal in this old town
    Keeps draggin' my poor heart around
    All I see for me is misery
    I gotta right to sing the blues

    I gotta right to moan and sigh
    I gotta right to sit and cry
    Down around the river

    I know the deep blue sea
    Will soon be callin' me
    It must be love, say what you choose
    I've gotta right to sing the blues
