Tell Me Again Composer(s): Jerry Crutchfield Performer(s): Jeannie Seely and multiple other artists
Tell me again how I'll soon forget you And won't even think of your name But this time go slow, for I want to know Just how it is that I will lose this thing
Tell me again how there'll be another And how that someone will take your place Then tell me the part what to do with a heart That still loves you, yes tell me again
Tell me how I'll no longer see you Tossing sleeplessly through each night Or when my mem'ry strays to a favorite day When the world was ours and everything was right
Tell me again how I'll make it without you And how I'll have time on my side Then tell me the part what to do with a heart That still loves you, yes tell me again
Well now the party's over Food and dishes all put away Family and guests are all off in their beds Looks like the end of the day Just you and I together And I don't know what to say It feels so strange, the same old game Without a reason to play Without a reason to play
I never shared the vision In fact I've never known From dawn to dusk relations rust You stood it all alone And there in all confusion So big, so fearless, so bold I tried so hard I almost died But now I guess you know But now I guess you know
They're boarding up the windows The closets seem so small The picture frames of mem'ry lane Come cascading off the wall And now the questions and the answers Ring so hollow in my mind The reasons change, the agenda fades Up against the wailing wall Up against the wailing wall
Melting all my anger As I turn life a page To make some sense, to feel repent What to save and cast away Now in the final chapter Of the greatest story told I see so clear through clouded tears I don't want to see you go I don't want to see you go
Well now the party's over Food and dishes all put away Family and guests are all off in their beds Looks like the end of the day Just you and I together And I don't know what to say It feels so strange, the same old game Without a reason to play Without a reason to play
Gosse De Paris Composer(s): Maurice Vidalin; Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Isabelle Aubret
Gosse de Paris Pour s'embrasser Nous n'avions pas de chambre Pas de sous Pas même un lit Même cassé Juste un coin d'herbe verte Loin de tout Mais c'était là que dans la nuit Nous entendions crier les grands trains fous Courant vers l'inconnu, courant sans nous En emportant nos coeurs jusqu'aux îles
Gosse de Paris On a pleuré Sur le quai d'une gare Mon amie En dénouant Nos mains, serrées Sur toute une romance De Paris
J'aurai pas dû m'en aller J'aurai pas dû te laisser Il fallait nous contenter D'un bonheur de quatre sous
Rien qu'à toi Rien qu'à moi Rien qu'à nous Tu sais Gosse de Paris C'était promis Ni mon coeur Ni mes lèvres N'ont menti Si je ne t'ai jamais écrit C'est que la bonne étoile M'a trahie Crois moi j'ai fait ce que j'ai pu Mais nous ne verrons pas l'île au trésor Bien trop d'années me sont tombés dessus Trop de temps loin de toi mais qu'importe
Gosse de Paris Gosse de ma rue Ombre parmi les ombres Du faubourg Je t'aime encore Amie perdue De ma première enfance Mon amour
Tell Me About It Composer(s): Bill LaBounty - Pat McLaughlin Performer(s): Delbert McClinton & Tanya Tucker and multiple other artists
They say that there's a hole in the atmosphere The things you think will last disappear When you were ready to say I do Somebody lowered the boom on you Now you need a sympathetic ear
Tell me about it Tell me about teardrops in the dark Tell me about it Tell me about your broken heart You say you need someone to hold you tight (You) can't stand another lonely night Well come closer and Tell me about it
Love isn't always true it hurts sometimes Your tears will tell on you girl, I'm not blind I know what you're goin' through I graduated from that school too If you need a shoulder cry on mine
Tell me about it Tell me about teardrops in the dark Tell me about it Tell me about your broken heart You say you need someone to hold you tight (You) can't stand another lonely night Well come closer and Tell me about it
You took a lesson in playin' a fool I graduated from that school too If you need a shoulder cry on mine
Tell me about it Tell me about teardrops in the dark Tell me about it Tell me about your broken heart You say you need someone to hold you tight (You) can't stand another lonely night Well come closer and Tell me about it
My Last Date (With You) Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant; Floyd Cramer; Skeeter Davis Performer(s): Skeeter Davis and various other artists
One hour and I'll be needing you I know you're gonna make me blue My heart is trembling through and through 'Cause I know very well I can tell, I can tell This will be my last date with you
Just can't believe that this could end I know I'll never love again You'll ask me to be just a friend It's as plain as can be I can see, I can see This will be my last date with you
I know we had a quarrel But all sweethearts do
I gave my love to prove to you That I would always love you and be true
I know you've met somebody new You'll tell me you and I are through My plans and dreams cannot come true And when you say goodbye I know I will cry 'Cause I'll know it's my last date with you

When I was young then all my boughs were thickly hung with glittering hopes But one by one they've blown away and only one remains today It flutters out upon the air one hope all pinned on gossamer
What are all lives but gossamer in one lacy cobweb crossed? Yet strand by strand we tear at it until the pattern's lost And one by one hopes blow away till only one remains today
I hope the forest will return to climb the mist-hung morning slopes Where falling leaves deep-banked in fern may meet the water ouzel's hopes But one by one they've blown away and only one remains today
And when the condor opens flight on crystal air not cracked or stained by any fallen angel's flight these glittering hopes may be regained
When I was young then all my boughs were thickly hung with glittering hopes But one by one they've blown away and only one remains today It flutters out upon the air one hope all pinned on gossamer

Tell Me Composer(s): Tom Scholz Performer(s): Boston
I stand on my own And wonder if you've ever been alone with all the world around you Say the word; I'd be there And like a fool I'd go anywhere Just like the day I found you Tell me what you see Tell me you believe in my love Tell me what you need Tell me you believe in my love I don't understand what to say You take my breath then you walk away Your life goes on without me And you can look right at me But in your eyes it's a mystery What do you fell about me? Tell me if it's real Tell me what you feel in my love Tell me what you see Tell me you believe in my love Tell me what to give Tell me I can live for your love Tell me not to leave Tell me to believe in your love I don't really know what to say I don't know how but I could learn to pray If prayin' makes you hear me I could stay on my own And wonder if I'd have ever known But I just want you near me Tell me if it's real Tell me what you feel in my love Tell me what you need Tell me you believe in my love Tell me what to give Tell me how to live for your love Tell me what you see Tell me to believe in your love
My Kind Of Music Composer(s): Edgar Leslie; Phillip Park Performer(s): Sam Browne; Lew Stone
Roaring traffic, the tramping of feet Lilting laughter from crowds in the street Thats my kind of music I want to go to town Phone bells ringing, a pneumatic drill Swing doors swinging, loose change in the till Thats my kind of music I want to go to town
Two lovers doing a spot of wooing Inside a taxi creeping round the park The elevators, the escalators The roar of rush hour trains And mind the doors, pass down the car, please
Give me rhythm, the best in the land Let me hear that Palladium band Thats my kind of music The top of the world is London Town I want to go to town
Goofus Composer(s): William Harold; Gus Kahn; Wayne King Performer(s): The Carpenters; and various other artists
I was born on a farm out in Ioway A flaming youth Who was bound that he'd fly away I packed my grip And I grabbed my saxophone Can't read notes but I play anything by ear I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear I'd start to play, folks used to say Sounds a little goofus to me
Corn-fed chords appeal to me I like rustic harmony Hold the note 'n change the key That's called goofus Not accordin' to the rules That you learn at music schools But the folks just dance like fools They love goofus
Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long The leader said I played all the music wrong So I stepped out with an outfit of my own Got together a new kind of orchestry And we all played just the same goofus harmony And I must admit, we made a hit Goofus has been lucky for me
I must admit, we made a hit Goofus has been lucky for me
Tell Mama Composer(s): Raymond Simmonds Performer(s): Savoy Brown
Quit my job, aint got no money Seems I have to leave this town Packed my bags, run to the station Board the train thats eastward bound
Tell Mama And all the folks back home Sometimes a man just feels He's got to make it alone Tell Mama Why I'm leaving so soon Because this life I live Has got me sick through and through
Nothing to do, thats why I had to go Seemed no use in hanging round I can't stop now, the tickets in my hand Board the train thats eastward bound
Tell Mama And all the folks back home Sometimes a man just feels He's got to make it alone Tell Mama Why I'm leaving so soon Because this life I live Has got me sick through and through
Quit my job, aint got no money Seems I have to leave this town
Tell Mama And all the folks back home Sometimes a man just feels He's got to make it alone Tell Mama Why I'm leaving so soon Because this life I live Has got me sick through and through
