Think I'll Go Somewhere And Cry Myself To Sleep Composer(s): Bill Anderson First release by: Bill Anderson - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep
I just kissed the one I love for the last time And never have her soft lips been so sweet She's gone away and won't be back forever Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep
I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep Not because I'm sad-because I'm weak I can't stand the thought of life alone without her Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep
Just before she said "goodbye" she called me "darling" And slowly ran her fingers down my cheek I thought I'd die when she said she still loved me Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep
I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep Not because I'm sad-because I'm weak I can't stand the thought of life alone without her Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep
Think About Love Composer(s): Michel LeGrand - Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman Performer(s): Patti Austin & James Ingram
Love is only the beginning What a sweet beginning Sunny skies ahead, like the weatherman said Did it ever feel this good before? Could you get much more from a kiss? Here with you, it's easy to think about love
You think about me (you think about me) I'll think about you (I'll think about you) And all of the crazy things that we can do I know what waits for us after we've wined and dined The train's got two tracks, but I've got a one-track mind
Love me like it's for the first time And then imagine it's the last time Only you and me, like we dreamed it would be Soon the early morning sun will rise But we'll close our eyes to it all Then day or night, dark or light, we'll think about love
You think about me (you think about me) I'll think about you (I'll think about you) And all of the crazy things that we can do I know what waits for us after we've wined and dined The train's got two tracks, but I've got a one-track mind
So it's goodbye, Loneliness We're leaving you and your kind behind We're starting out, we're on our way Saying with loving all there is to say
You think about me (you think about me) I'll think about you (I'll think about you) And all of the crazy things that we can do I know what waits for us after we've wined and dined The train's got two tracks, but I've got a one-track mind

You say you will love me If I have to go You'll be thinking of me Somehow I will know Someday when I'm lonely Wishing you weren't so far away Then I will remember The things we said today You say you'll be mine, girl Until the end of time These days such a kind girl Seems so hard to find Someday when we're dreaming Deep in love, not a lot to say Then we will remember The things we said today Me, I'm just the lucky kind Love to hear you say that love is luck And, though we may be blind Love is here to stay And that's enough To make you mine, girl Be the only one Love me all the time, girl We'll go on and on Someday when we're dreaming Deep in love, not a lot to say Then we will remember The things we said today Love me all the time, girl We'll go on and on Someday when we're dreaming Deep in love, not a lot to say Then we will remember The things we said today
Ces Mots Quon Oublie Un Jour ((Adapted from: Things We Said Today (The Beatles) - 1964)) Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney - Dick Rivers - Mya Simille Performer(s): Dick Rivers - 1964
Tu dis que tu m'aimes Que tu m'attendras Tu as de la peine Je pars loin de toi Tu dis que l'absence Rendra plus fort encore notre amour On dit ces mots-là, oui Qu'on oublie un jour
Pourquoi me promettre Ta fidélité? Pourquoi me permettre En vain d'espérer? Garde le silence! Plus tard mon cur sera bien moins lourd Car on dit des mots, oui Qu'on oublie un jour
Pourtant, je voudrais comme toi Garder l'espoir qu'à mon retour Tout sera comme autrefois Que je retrouverai ton amour Hein, hein, hein, hein
Malgré tes promesses J'ai peur loin de toi De tant de jeunesse De tant d'heures sans moi Dans ton innocence Tu jures d'attendre mon retour On dit ces mots-là, oui Qu'on oublie un jour
Pourtant, je voudrais comme toi Garder l'espoir qu'à mon retour Tout sera comme autrefois Que je retrouverai ton amour Hein, hein, hein, hein
Tu dis que tu m'aimes Que tu m'attendras Tu as de la peine Je pars loin de toi Tu dis que l'absence Rendra plus fort encore notre amour On dit ces mots-là, oui Qu'on oublie un jour
Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead Performer(s): Warren Zevon
I called up my friend LeRoy on the phone I said, Buddy, I'm afraid to be alone I got some weird ideas in my head About things to do in Denver when you're dead
I was working on a steak the other day I saw Waddy in the Rattlesnake Cafe Dressed in black, tossing back a shot of rye Finding things to do in Denver when you die
You won't need a cab to find a priest Maybe you should find a place to stay Some place where they never change the sheets And you just roll around Denver all day
LeRoy says there's something you should know Not everybody has a place to go And home is just a place to hang your head And dream up things to do in Denver when you're dead
You won't need a cap to find a priest Maybe you should find a place to stay Some place where they never change the sheets And you jut roll around Denver all day You just roll around Denver all day

Things I Should Have Said Composer(s): P.F. Sloan - Steve Barri Performer(s): The Grass Roots
I didn't cry I just stood and watched her say goodbye She closed the do-or And said "I don't want to see you anymore"
Things I should have said to her That maybe would have changed her mind to stay Things I should have said to her Like "girl, I love you so let love find a way"
Was it that she Just couldn't understand a man like me Was I to blame Did I leave too many things unexplained?
Things I should have said to her That maybe would have changed her mind to stay Things I should have said to her Like "girl, I love you so let love find a way
Why didn't I try telling her She was all I had Why didn't I try telling her Now she's gone and I feel oh so bad
I didn't cry I just stood and watched her say goodbye She closed the do-or And said "I don't want to see you anymore" Things I should have said to her (repeat)...
Things Goin' On Composer(s): Gary Rossington - Ronnie Van Zant Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd
Have you ever lived down in the ghetto? Have you ever felt the cold wind blow? If you don't know what I mean Won't you stand up and scream? 'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know
Too many lives they've spent across the ocean Too much money been spent upon the moon Well, until they make it right I hope they never sleep at night They better make some changes And do it soon
They're goin ruin the air we breathe Lord have mercy They're gonna ruin us all, by and by I'm telling you all beware I don't think they really care I think they just sit up there And just get high
You said that You'd never be the one to break up You felt you Were too steady to fall down You thought that No matter what, you could take it You thought that Whatever happened we would make up You felt that You'd never be the one to fall down You said that You were so steady You could never break down You said that You'd never let yourself get shook up From the start You'd never let yourself get worked up
Falling all apart Breaking all the rules Falling all apart Breaking all the rules Falling all apart Breaking all the rules Falling all apart
How does it feel to have lost your way? How does it feel to have your walls collapse? How does it feel to have nothing to say? Current hits, won't quit, got to break the straps?
So convinced of your own point of view In any event You thought you'd know just what to do As the world fell You thought that you'd just, just be fine That no matter what, you could always walk that line
So
How does it feel to have lost your way? How does it feel to have your walls collapse? How does it feel to have nothing to say? Current hits, won't quit, got to break the straps?
Things Behind The Sun Composer(s): Nick Drake First release by: Nick Drake - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
Please beware of them that stare They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once you've seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Who'll hear what I say Look around you find the ground Is not so far from where you are But not too wise For down below they never grow They're always tired and charms are hired From out of their eyes Never surprise
Take your time and you'll be fine And say a prayer for people there Who live on the floor And if you see what's meant to be Don't name the day or try to say It happened before
Don't be shy you learn to fly And see the sun when day is done If only you see Just what you are beneath a star That came to stay one rainy day In autumn for free Yes, be what you'll be Please beware of them that stare They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once you've seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Who'll hear what I say
Open up the broken cup Let goodly sin and sunshine in Yes that's today And open wide the hymns you hide You find reknown while people frown At things that you say But say what you'll say About the farmers and the fun And the things behind the sun And the people round your head Who say everything's been said And the movement in your brain Sends you out into the rain

Things Ain't Like They Used To Be Performer(s): UB40
Are you wondering why No one talks anymore And all you hear Is the cry for war Are you wondering if There are people who Hurt inside the same as you
There are grey-faced men always telling me Things ain't like they used to be You kids have got no self respect Wake up old man to your neglect It's dog eat dog It's hand to mouth It's east and west It's north and south Just like you drummed it into me Things ain't like they used to be
I'll tell you why I can't afford To hang my hopes upon your word And when I'm done, I'll join the queue And take my chance, no thanks to you It's in or out It's stop and go It isn't what It's who you know I've heard you, now can you hear me Things ain't like they used to be
Ancient rules for ancient men But this is now and that was then don't lay your heavy hand on me And sink me in your poison sea It's us and them It's me and you It's guessing games It's what to do Exactly like you said to me Things ain't like they used to be
Are you wondering why No one talks anymore And all you hear Is the cry for war Are you wondering if There are people who Hurt inside the same as you

(Thinkin' of things) Like a walk in the park (Things) Like a kiss in the dark (Things) Like a sailboat ride (Yeah-yeah) What about the night we cried? Things like a lover's vow Things that we don't do now Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
