Travellin' Light Composer(s): Sid Tepper - Roy Bennett First recording/First release: Cliff Richard and The Shadows - 1959
Got no bags and baggage to slow me down I'm travellin' so fast my feet ain't touchin' the ground Travellin' light, travellin' light Well I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight
No comb and no toothbrush, I've got nothing to haul I'm carryin' only, a pocket full of dreams, a heart full of love And they weigh nothing at all
Soon I'm going to see that love look in her eyes I'm a hoot and a holler away from paradise Travellin' light, travellin' light I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight
No comb and no toothbrush, I've got nothing to haul I'm carryin' only, a pocket full of dreams, a hand full of love And they weigh nothing at all
Soon I'm going to see that love look in her eyes I'm a hoot and a holler away from paradise Travellin' light, Hmmnn Well I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight Hmmnn
I Need Your Love Composer(s): Fred Sampson; Tom Scholz Performer(s): Boston
Cant help this feeling Cant help this feeling I cant believe its open for discussion Weve said our goodbyes Ive been a fool not to see the repercussions Youve had in my life Im at the point of no return Ive finally crossed the line Dont want to stop and watch the bridges burn cause I cant stand to see you stay behind
I need your love I want you every way I need your love Cant help this feeling coming back everyday
I stayed around hoping youd discover How much there was to lose I spelled it out, I led you to the water But youre too blind to choose I gave it everything and more to make it Ive waited for so long I saw the chance to run and had to take it But somethings missing and I know its wrong
I need your love I want you every way And I need your love Cant help this feeling coming back everyday
Ive passed the point of no return And all the tears have dried Dont want to stop and watch the bridges burn cause I keep wishing I was on your side
I need your love I want you every way And I need your love Cant help this feeling
I need your love I want you every way I need your love Cant help this feeling coming back everyday
Eager Beaver Baby Composer(s): Stanley Clayton - Bill Katz - Ruth Ann Roberts
Performer(s): Johnny Burnette; Deja Voodoo; Hi Fly Rangers
I don't know how it started, I don't know what I did But there's a gal who's chasm' me who really flipped her lid I call her my eager beaver baby, ooh eager beaver baby Well what am I gonna do with that eager beaver baby of mine She's always there beside me, no matter where I stop She follows me at the movies, even to the barber shop I call her my eager heaver baby, ooh eager beaver baby Well what am I gonna do with that eager beaver baby of mine
She gets me in her parlor and switches off the light Before I know what's happened she's a-huggin' me so tight I call her my eager beaver baby, eager beaver baby Well what am I gonna do with that eager beaver baby of mine She loves to mess my hair up and loosen up my tie And when she starts a-kissin', I'm a real gone guy I call her my eager beaver baby, ooh eager beaver baby Well what am I gonna do with that eager beaver baby of mine
May the road rise up to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face And the rains fall soft upon your tracks And until, until we meet again May God hold you safely in the palm of His hand
May the hills come down to greet you May the rocks give shelter in the storm May the dust be soft beneath your feet And the dark give rest before the dawn And until, until we meet again May God hold you safely in the palm of His
In the palm of His hand In the palm of his hand in the palm of his hand Safely in the palm of his hand
May your life have many memories May your death be sweet and full of peace May your hope last an eternity And may your joy carry on and never cease And until, until we meet again May God hold you safely in the palm of His
And until, until we meet again May God hold you safely in the palm of His In the palm of His hand In the palm of his hand in the palm of his hand Safely in the palm of his hand In the palm of His hand In the palm of his hand in the palm of his hand Safely in the palm of his hand
I Need You To Turn To Italian Title: E Ho Bisogno Di Te - 1973 Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin First release by: Elton John - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
Youre not a ship to carry my life Youre nailed to my love in many lonely nights I strayed from the cottages and found myself here But I need your love Your love protects my fear
And I wonder sometimes and I know Im unkind But I need you to turn to when I act so blind And I need you to turn to when I lose control But its my guardian angel who keeps out the cold
Did you think youll smile on Well, I said I knew that my reason for living was for loving you Were related in feeling of your high above Youre pure and your gentle with the grace of a dove
And I wonder sometimes and I know Im unkind But I need you to turn to when I act so blind And I need you to turn to when I lose control But its my guardian angel who keeps out the cold
And I wonder sometimes and I know Im unkind To my guardian angel who keeps out the cold
Only wish that I could say That this is rain in my eyes I only wish I could find the words To say just how I feel
To say just how I feel inside So please listen close 'Cause each word's a beat of my heart Someway somehow I'll find How to say what's on my mind Till then you'll have to read my eyes Looks like a blue day Only wish that I could say That this is rain in my eyes So please listen close 'Cause each word's a beat of my heart Each word's a beat of my heart
Traveling down the blue road Wondering, hardly waiting just to get back home again Winds are blowing down the blue road Too long a loser, soon he's gonna win
He's worked in wood, worked in steel, call him what you will Years can never outnumber the miles on his shoes Been a lover and a fighter, gambler and moonshiner Call him well-acquainted with the blues
Speak of oil fields, cottonfields, bright lights and city nights Think about most any place he may have lived or died There but now there's a lady who can turn back the miles Gentle as a summer morning air
Each Time You Break My Heart Composer(s): Madonna - Stephen Pate Bray
First release by: Nick Kamen - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists
Each time you break my heart
Each time you break my heart
I know how it feels to be the talk of the town
I'm not gonna let you go and run around
I need to know that you'll be true to me
'Cause that's the way it's got to be
Why can't you give your promise to me
Is love so blind that you cannot see
I'm trying hard not to walk out the door
Know that I, oh, know that I can't take no more
Each time you break my heart
I try to put my pride aside
Each time you break my heart
A little voice inside me cries
No matter what you do or say
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you anyway
And if you're so sure that I'm not your kind
How come you can't just walk away
In the beginning we were nothing but glad
Those were the best days that we ever had
There's no compassion, all your warmth is gone
Tell me how, oh, how can I keep holding on
Each time you break my heart
I try to put my pride aside
Each time you break my heart
A little voice inside me cries
I see the look in your eyes
I know you're hurting inside
Let me try to make you love me again
I'll say that I knew you when
You were mine, you were mine
Each time, oh, yeah
In the beginning we were nothing but glad
Those were the best days that we ever had
There's no compassion, all your warmth is gone
Tell me how, oh, how can I keep holding on
I see the look in your eyes
I know you're hurting inside
Let me try to make you love me again
I'll say that I knew you when
You were mine, you were mine
Each time you break my heart
I try to put my pride aside
Each time you break my heart
A little voice inside me cries
Each time you break my heart again
Well I can say I knew you when / each time
You were mine
Break my heart, don't break my heart
Break my heart, don't break my heart...
Mama always reminds me that we're only passin' through The treasures of this world are not for us to hold on to She says the way we're headed Will take us where we're bound And we can not lay our journey down
Because all god's children need travelin' shoes To walk the road that's narrow but it's true We can' stop here we're just passin' through That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes
My bags are pack and waiting and I'm headed for the door The train Is at the station , got my ticket and I'll board The brakeman swings his lantern Lit with never ending love And mama I can't thank you near enough
Because all god's children need travelin' shoes To walk the road that's narrow but it's true We can' stop here we're just passin' through That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes
Because all god's children need travelin' shoes To walk the road that's narrow but it's true We can' stop here we're just passin' through That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes
We can't stop here we're just passin' through That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

If I ever needed you, I need you now I can't remember when I've ever been so blue If I ever needed love, I need it now I feel so all alone I don't know what to do

Each Time Composer(s): Jackie DeShannon
Performer(s): The Searchers
Each time you hurt me and desert me You swear you'll never do it again Oh each time I catch you lyin' I start cryin' You say "It's the last time" and then
Oh you say "Oh baby, everything's gonna be fine" And like a fool I keep forgivin' you each time
Each time I say I'll leave you, never see you You tell me you'll make it all up to me Oh each time you say "Let's try it just once more" 'Cause I'm all you're livin' for, you'll change, I'll see
Then you call me baby, everything's gonna be fine Then like a fool I keep forgivin' you each time
Wish that I felt just like I did before There was a time I could walk out the door But I can't go now though I know it's wrong 'Cause good or bad it's with you I belong
Then you say "Oh baby, everything's gonna be fine" No matter what you do, I keep forgivin' you Each time, each time, each time, each time

J'y Pense Et Puis J'oublie
((Adapted from: It Comes And Goes (Burl Ives) - 1963))
((Dutch Version: De Tijd Komt En Gaat Voorbij (Johnny Lion) - 1966))
Composer(s): Bill Anderson - Claude François
Performer(s): Claude François - 1964
Tout le monde me demande si je t'aime encore Et si je pense encore à toi Ils me demandent de parler de mon cur C'est triste depuis de long mois. Je mens un petit peu, et je dis fièrement Cette histoire est finie Mais je dois avouer que certains soirs peut-être Parfois j'ypense et puis j'oublie
J'y pense et puis j'oublie J'y pense surtout quand je suis seul la nuit Et quand ton souvenir Revient me faire souffrir Très vite j'y pense et puis j'oublie
Tout le monde me demande si j'ai pleuré Et si je pleure encore pour toi Mais s'ils me le demandent C'est tout simplement pour pouvoir rire de moi Si je mens un petit peu et que je dis fièrement Je n'ai jamais pleuré de ma vie C'est tout juste si mes yeux me picotent un peu Lorsque j'y pense et puis j'oublie
J'y pense et puis j'oublie J'y pense surtout quand je suis seul la nuit Et quand ton souvenir Revient me faire souffrir Très vite j'y pense et puis j'oublie
J'y pense et puis j'oublie Mais j'y pense beaucoup plus que je n'oublie Car tout au fond de moi Je sens que cet amour J'y pense j'y penserai toujours J'y pense j'y penserai toujours
Travelin' Man Composer(s): Tom Johnston Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers
The sun brings up another day near the little fishin' town The nets are hung out in the wind The sails are down A seagull flies above my head spinning slowly toward the sea He seems so free, and just like me he rides the wind
I'm a trav-'lin' man Nothin' left behind me but the road I'm a trav-'lin' man Won't you share the load?
Lonesome shepherd in the field ahead Moonlight flows across the grass The rocky hills catch the light above their shadows cast Lonely by the day, drifting late at night The wind is creepin' through my ragged coat What a life!
I'm a trav-'lin' man Nothin' left behind me but the road I'm a trav-'lin' man Won't you share the load?
I'm a trav-'lin' man Nothin' left behind me but the road I'm a trav-'lin' man Won't you share the load?
I'm a trav-'lin' man Nothin' left behind me but the road I'm a trav-'lin' man Won't you share the load?
I Need You Composer(s): Gerry Beckley Performer(s): America
We used to laugh We used to cry We used to bow our heads then Wonder why
But now you're gone I guess I'll carry on And make the best of what you've left to me Left to me, left to me
I need you Like the flower needs the rain You know I need you Guess I'll start it all again You know I need you Like the winter needs the spring You know I need you I need you
And every day I'd laugh the hours away Just knowing you were thinking of me Then it came That I was put to blame For every story told about me About me, about me
