Thank God And Greyhound Composer(s): Larry Kingston - Earl Nix Performer(s): Roy Clark; Ray Pillow
I've made a small fortune, and you've squandered it all You've shamed me till I feel about one inch tall But I thought I loved you, and I hoped you would change so I gritted my teeth and didn't complain
Now you've come to me with a simple goodbye You tell me you're leaving, but you won't tell me why We're here at the station and you're getting on And all I can think of is...
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone! I didn't know how much longer I could go on watching you take the respect out of me watching you make a total wreck out of me That big diesel motor is a playing my song
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone! That load on my mind got lighter when you got on That shiney old bus is a beautiful sight with the black smoke rolling up around the tail lights It may sound kinda cruel, but I've been silent too long
Love's Old Song Composer(s): Jerry Crutchfield Performer(s): Barbara Fairchild; Glen Campbell
I'm singing love's old song The one that when things go wrong, makes you happy Makes you feel fine I'm singing love's old song The melody lingers on forever, now that you're mine
The one that tells how much I love you The one that tells how, darling, there'll never be anyone above you I'm singing love's old song Together we'll sing along It's heaven loving with you
La la la lalalala La la la lalalala
I'm singing love's old song I'll keep on singing as long as you hold me every night and day I'm singing love's old song It seems to carry me on forever in every way
The one that tells how much I love you The one that tells how, darling, there'll never be anyone above you I'm singing love's old song Together we'll sing along It's heaven loving with you It's heaven loving with you
Love's Made A Fool Of You ((French Version: L'amour Se Joue De Nous (Vincent Palmer) - 1998)) Composer(s): Buddy Holly - Bob Montgomery First recording/First release by: The Crickets - 1958/1959 Covered by multiple other artists
Love can make a fool of you You'd do anything it wants you to Love can make you feel so good When it goes like you think it should
Or it can make you cry at night When you're baby don't treat you right When you're feeling sad and blue You know love's made a fool of you
You know love makes fools of men But you don't care you're gonna try again Time goes by it's a passing past You think that love has come at last
But by and by you're gonna find Crazy love has made you blind When you're feeling sad and blue You know love's made a fool of you
Love can make you feel so good When it goes like you think it should Or it can make you cry at night When you're baby don't treat you right
When you're feeling sad and blue You know love's made a fool of you
Love's Just A Broken Heart Composer(s): Kenny Lynch - Mort Shuman Performer(s): Cilla Black
They told me love was not what I dreamed it would be And one day if I fell in love then I would see But I believed when my love came My dreams would all come true But I'm no better now Now that we're worlds apart Now as the teardrops start Love's just a broken heart
They told me when I found you That it wouldn't last They said you had too many lovers in your past And foolishly I thought that I could mean much more to you But I'm no better now Now that we're worlds apart Now as the teardrops start Love's just a broken heart
You told me I was everything a love should be I was your destiny I was your reason to live And you would give all of life's treasures to me
Now I can hear them laughing as they pass my way They say "I told you so" there's nothing I can say For they were right and I was wrong They said so from the start
I lost the only love I knew when I lost you Yes all too late I realised your words were lies My dream of love is through And I'm no better now Now that we're worlds apart Now as the teardrops start Love's just a broken heart Just one more broken heart
Love's In Our Hearts On Christmas Day Composer(s): Gary Haase - James Lowell - John Werking Performer(s): *NSync
Mmm oooo I know great distance still remains between us But there's good reason to hold on It's the happiest time of the year Filled with laughter and good cheer As you watch the snow Sweet love you'll hear me say
You've got my heart on Christmas Inside my soul your love remains Love's in our hearts on Christmas day The days and weeks and months go by so slowly We are both wishing it would fly oh As the night begins to fall Twilight drowns the bedroom chill Such a rush of joy (rush of joy) And love, it comforts me And I do believe
Love's in our hearts on Christmas Though far apart As one we pray Love's in our hearts on Christmas day
A snowflake melts In your eye it turns to a tear But your cheek, it stays dry With your warm smile so near I have no fear We're gonna make it Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
Love's in our hearts on Christmas Though far apart As one we pray Love's in our hearts on Christmas day
Love's in our hearts on Christmas Though far apart As one we pray Love's in our hearts on Christmas day
Love's in our hearts on Christmas Though far apart As one we pray Love's in our hearts on Christmas day

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 Bit Hard On Me Performer(s): Juice Newton
I've got nothing to be ashamed of Love's been a little bit hard on me If I shy away it's only because Love's been a little bit hard on 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
