Love's Been Good To Me Composer(s): Rod McKuen First release by: Rod McKuen - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
I have been a rover I have walked alone Hiked a hundred highways Never found a home Still in all I'm happy The reason is, you see Once in a while, along the way Love's been good to me
There was a girl in Denver Before the summer storm Oh, her eyes were tender Oh, her arms were warm And she could smile away the thunder Kiss away the rain Even though she's gone away You won't hear me complain I have been a rover
I have walked alone Hiked a hundred highways Never found a home Still in all I'm happy The reason is, you see Once in a while, along the way Love's been good to me
There was a girl in Portland Before the winter chill We used to go a-courtin' Along October hill And she could laugh away the dark clouds Cry away the snow It seems like only yesterday As down the road I go
I've been a rover I have walked alone Hiked a hundred highways Never found a home Still in all I'm happy The reason is, you see Once in a while, along the way Love's been good to me

Love's been a little Oh love's been a little Love's been a little bit hard on me Love's been a little Oh you know just been a little Love's been a little bit hard on me
I can remember when it's been so much Love's been a little bit hard on me I shy away at the slightest touch Love's been a little bit hard on me
Come out, come out To the hopeless romantic inside Shout it's all right, all right To stay so dark So close to the light
I'll be back when I calm my fears Love's been a little bit hard on me See you around in a thousand years

Lovers In A Dangerous Time Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn First release by: Bruce Cockburn - 1984 Covered by multiple other artists
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by You never get to stop and open your eyes One day you're waiting for the sky to fall The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time
These fragile bodies of touch and taste This vibrant skin -- this hair like lace Spirits open to the thrust of grace Never a breath you can afford to waste When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time
When you're lovers in a dangerous time Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time And we're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time
Lover's Cross Composer(s): Jim Croce First release by: Jim Croce - 1973
Guess that it was bound to happen Was just a matter of time But now I've come to my decision And it's a-one of the painful kind 'Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr Just a regular guy wouldn't do But baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
You really got to hand it to ya 'Cause girl you really tried But for every time that we spent laughin' There were two times that I cried And you were tryin' to make me your martyr And that's the one thing I just couldn't do 'Cause baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
'Cause tables are meant for turnin' And people are bound to change And bridges are meant for burnin' When the people and memories they join aren't the same
Still I hope that you can find Another who can take what I could not He'll have to be a super guy Or maybe a super god 'Cause I never was much of a martyr before And I ain't bout to start nothin' new And baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

Someday we'll meet And you'll dry all my tears Then whisper sweet little things in my ears Huggin' and a-kissin' Oh, what I've been missin' Lover man oh where can you be
Oh, what I've been missin' Lover man, oh, where can you be

Lover Boy Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson Performer(s): Supertramp
I'll tell you from the start He's gonna break your heart You can't stop the lover boy You can't stop the lover boy
He's gonna tell you lies But you won't realize Because you can't stop the lover boy You can't stop the lover boy
He's got a thing in his head It's from a book he's read It's got a funny title, It tells you how to be vital He took a lot of time Over every line Because it's guaranteed To satisfy
He's gonna knock 'em dead The boy's got that book read You can't stop the lover boy You can't stop the lover boy
Right from the clothes he wears The way he combs his hair You can't stop him now, because he knows all the tricks He used to have a problem but he got it fixed He took a small apartment Above a shoe department And he could see from his window All the lights in the street glow There's a club on the corner And tonight he will go there To find a new affair So all you ladies beware
He's got to have a good time in the city He's got to have a good time every night He's gonna love 'em and leave 'em, cheat and deceive 'em He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right
