Don't Lead Me On
Don't Lead Me On
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield - Neil Sedaka
Performer(s): Neil Sedaka
Oh please don't, don't lead me on
don't love me tonight if tomorrow you'll be gone
If you don't mean the things that you say
you only have to tell me and I'll be on my way
Oh don't, don't make me cry
don't say that you care if your love is just a lie
Don't build my hopes up to the sky
Please don't, don't lead me on
If, if you're gonna hurt me
then please, please don't make me wait
Should we part, I'll get along somehow
so if you're gonna break my heart
then come on, break it now
But don't, don't lead me on
don't love me tonight if tomorrow you'll be gone
If you don't mean the things that you say
please don't, don't lead me on
If you don't mean the things that you say
oh don't, don't lead me on

Umm oh yeah, I'm gonna treat you right

Another Rag
Another Rag
Composer(s): D.A. Esrom - Theodore Morse
What's that tune I'm hearing everywhere?
What's that sound a floating in the air?
What's that music all the brass bands play?
Hear it in the morning every night and day.
'Taint like music Mister Wagner wrote
Got a funny, sneaky minor note, if you ask what they are playing
Everybody will be saying, "It's another rag, that's all"
That's some tune, it's got some feeling too
You don't know just what has happened to you
Starts you jumping like a big jumping Jack
sending chills a running up and down your back
It's a lovey dovery sort of a strain
Make you do things that you can't explain
When the violins are scraping
Then you'll know there's no escaping
From another raggy rag
Another rag, another raggy rag
Another tune to set you spoony soon
Another crazy tune, another lazy tune
It's a slippy, dippy, creepy, sleepy "get you going rag
Another strain, another raggy strain
A hum and buzz just like a Pullman train stop! (stop) look! (look)
Come on and listen
That's it! (That's that)
Don't you know what that is?
Why, that's another rag, a raggy rag

Dear Yoko
Dear Yoko
Composer(s): John Lennon
Performer(s): John Lennon
Even after all these years
I miss you when you're not here
I wish you were here my dear Yoko
Even if it's just a day
I miss you when you're away
I wish you were here today dear Yoko
Even if it's just one night
I miss you and it don't feel right
I wish you were here tonight dear Yoko
Even if it's just one hour
I wilt just like a fading flower
Ain't nothing in the world like our love dear Yoko
Oh Yoko
I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go
Oh Yoko
I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go
Even when I'm miles at sea
And nowhere is the place to be
Your spirit's watching over me dear Yoko
Even when I watch T.V.
There's a hole where you're supposed to be
There's nobody lying next to me dear Yoko
Oh Yoko
I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go
Oh Yoko
I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go
Even after all this time
I miss you like the sun don't shine
Without I'm a one track mind dear Yoko
After all is really said and done
The two of us are really one
The goddess really smiled upon our love dear Yoko

Rain (Status Quo)
Rain
Composer(s): Parfitt
Performer(s): Status Quo
How can I see what I'm needing for
How can I give what I gave before
How can you tell me that you want me to stay
How can I stay when I'm trying to say
That I can't live without the rain
Yes I can't live without the rain
How can I feel what I'm trying to feel
How can I move when I'm heel to heel
You're always shouting about the doubt in my eyes
But I can't answer 'cos my eyes are so dry
Now I can't live without the rain
Yes I can't live without the rain
Now I can't live without the rain
That's falling on my head
Rain that's falling on my head
Rain that's falling
Rain that's falling
Rain that's falling on my head
I started thinking back to you know when
I'd like to send a line but then again
How can I write you when there ain't no light?
I'm feeling tired tonight but that is all right
Now I can't live without the rain
Yes I can't live without the rain

Dear Someone
Dear Someone
Composer(s): Cy Coben
Performer(s): Johnny Restivo
I got a letter from a fan of mine
She sent her picture, but the letter wasn't signed
Now I'd like to meet her, so I hope she's listening
Dear someone, whoever you may be
Dear someone, I'm glad you wrote to me
Got the photo you enclosed
You're a dream and heaven knows
I'm glad that you're a fan of mine
I'd like to know you better
But you didn't sign your letter
Oh dear someone, you with the ponytail
Please write me, and this time please don't fail
Sign your name and most of all
Send a number I can call
I'll count the minutes till you write again
Dear someone, I can't wait till then
I'll be waiting at the mailbox
Seal it with a kiss
I love you...

Another Pretty Country Song
Another Pretty Country Song
Composer(s): David Allen Coe - T. Clark
Performer(s): David Allan Coe; Geezinslaw Brothers
I Bought This Rhinestone Suit In California
These Boots Came All The Way From Mexico
This Cadillac Ain't Nothin', Son
You Ought To See The Greyhound
I Bought To Take My Band From Show To Show
Seen My Face A Thousand Times On Tv
And Heard Me On Your Local Radio
And In Your Eyes I See The Admiration There For Me
But, Son, There's Something That Ought To Know
Well, I've Got To Take A Drink To Keep From Shakin'
Motel Rooms Ain't Nothing Like A Home
Money Can't Makelove Grow Any Stronger
When You Leave Your Woman Home Alone
She Can't Raise The Children With No Daddy
She Can't Love A Man That's Always Gone
It Takes A Whole Lot More Than Pride
To Keep Your Feelings Locked Inside
While You Sing Another Pretty Country Song
I've Seen Your Face A Thousand Times On Tv
I've Heard You On My Local Radio
It's True I Took Some Pills To Stay Awake, Son
And This Diamond Ring I Wear Is Just For Show
I've Got A Little Cabin In The Country
When I'm Not On The Road That's Where I Go
Try And Put My Feelings Down On Paper
Right Or Wrong The Show Has To Go On
I Can Cry Deep Down Inside And Keep On Smilin'
While I Sing Another Pretty Country Song
But I've Got To Take A Drink To Keep From Shakin'

Dear Rita Hayworth
Dear Rita Hayworth
Performer(s): The New Vaudeville Band
Dear Rita Hayworth
I'm sending out this letter to the USA
I thought you'd like to know
That I saw you in the Daily Press today
Do you still make movies
Could you send a picture for my bedroom wall
If ever you're in England
You'd be welcome if you'd like to call
You won't find no other girl
Sharing my room with me
I have hot water
And a telephone
And now I guess you think
That I'm more than slightly mad
If you could drop a line
I'd be so glad
Dear Rita Hayworth
Surely I must be your number one fan
For 27 years
I've loved you every way that I can
Dear Rita Hayworth
Surely I must be your number one fan
For 27 years
I've loved you every way that I can
You won't find no other girl
Sharing my room with me
I have hot water
And a telephone
And now I guess you think
I'm more than slightly mad
If you could drop a line
I'd be so glad
Dear Rita Hayworth
Surely I must be your number one fan
For 27 years
I've loved you every way that I can

Lights Out (Jerry Byrne)
Lights Out
Composer(s): Seth David - Mac Rebennack
Performer(s): Jerry Byrne; Johnny Winter
Standin' on my front porch
Grabbed her and I kissed her
Boy I was surprised when I saw her little sister
Lights out, lights out
I'm glad now the lights were out
Sister knows more about
What to do when the lights go out
Mother looked at me
She was a-peepin' through the window
The way she looked at me
Boy, I thought I was a sinner
Lights out, lights out
I'm glad now the lights were out
Sister knows more about
What to do when the lights go out
Lovin' on the front porch sittin' on the swing
I can almost hear those weddin' bells ring
Lights out, lights out
I'm glad now the lights were out
Sister knows more about
What to do when the lights go out
Lovin' on the front porch sittin' on the swing
I can almost hear those weddin' bells ring
Lights out, lights out
I'm glad now the lights were out
Sister knows more about
What to do when the lights go out
Now we're married and we bought a little house
Would have married little sister, but the lights went out
Lights out, lights out
I'm glad now the lights were out
Sister knows more about
What to do when the lights go out

Dear Peter
Dear Peter
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
El universo se me derrumbó
por un instante demasiado largo
pensé que lo mejor era el letargo
de los cipreses de Van Gogh
Y me bebí un buen trago de cointreau
para endulzar aquel bocado amargo
pero de pronto sucedió
que la memoria, como por encargo
se puso en marcha y disparó
alguna ráfaga de 'So'...
"Don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place...'
decía
la dulce voz de Kate
calmando
mi desesperación...
amigo
te debo esta canción...
Dear Peter
I owe you this song
Y casi como una revelación
lo que antes era oscuro se hizo claro
la voz de Kate lucía como un faro
en el umbral de mi apagón
Se apoderó de mí la decisión
de combatir de frente al desamparo
y proclamar la rebelión
de no seguir pasando por el aro
de la maldita maratón
que sólo lleva a la traición
'Don't give up...'
La voz que me animaba en tu canción
se convirtió en mi pan de cada día
fué el único alimento que comía
para vencer mi rendición
pero escondido tras aquella voz
amigo, tú eras quien me repetía
vivir es resistir la coz
interna de tu propia cobardía
que, con la dama de la hoz
es tu enemiga más feroz...
'Don't give up
you know where we belong...
resiste
que aún queda el corazón
amigo
te debo esta canción
Dear Peter
I owe you this song

Another Pot O'tea
Another Pot O'tea
Composer(s): Paul Grady
Performer(s): Anne Murray
and multiple other artists
Put on another pot o' tea
'Cause I'm in love with the Irish accent to your stories
And I need someone to help me
Well they say that now you don't talk straight
And as of late it's been my lot to be afraid
To remember you by anything
But memories I already keep
Put another pot o' tea
'Cause I'm in love with the Irish accent to your stories
And now I need some sympathy
It's harder when it takes so long to leave
The table where we all learned to laugh and learned to grieve
Over the pain that came so close to you
It comes so close to me today
Put another pot o' tea
'Cause I'm in love with the Irish accent to your stories
And I need a rosary

Dear Old Pal Of Mine
Dear Old Pal Of Mine
Composer(s): Lieut. Gitz Rice - Harold Robe
Performer(s): John McCormack
and multiple other artists
All my life is empty, since I went away
Skies don't seem to be so clear
May some angel sentry, guard you while I stray
And fate be kind to join us some sweet day
Oh, how I want you, dear old pal of mine
Each night and day I pray you're always mine
Sweetheart, may God bless you, angel hands caress you
While sweet dreams rest you, dear old pal of mine
Dearie, I'm so lonely, how I miss your smile
And your tender loving way
I just want you only, want you all the while
May God decree I have you back some day
Oh, how I want you, dear old pal of mine
Each night and day I pray you're always mine
Sweetheart, may God bless you, angel hands caress you
While sweet dreams rest you, dear old pal of mine

Another Place, Another Time
Another Place, Another Time
Composer(s): Jerry Chesnut
Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis
and multiple other artists
One by one they're turning out the lights
I've been feeding that old jukebox just to hold you tight
Guess it's for the best I just put in my last dime
Heard you whisper we'd meet again, another place, another time
Chairs are stacked all over tables and it's closing time they say
I could wait right here forever if they'd only let me stay
Anywhere would be much better than that lonely room of mine
And the sleepless nights are waitin' for another place, another time
Won't that room of mine be a lonely place to be
After I've been holding you so close to me
And won't that old stairway be a little hard to climb
To a lonely room to wait for another place, another time
Won't that old stairway be a little hard to climb
To a lonely room to wait for another place, another time

Dear Old Donegal
Dear Old Donegal
Composer(s): Steve Graham
Performer(s): Josef Locke
and multiple other artists
It seems like only yesterday
I sailed from out of Cork
A wanderer from old Erin's isle
I landed in New York
There wasn't a soul to greet me there
A stranger on your shore
But Irish luck was with me here
And riches came galore
And now that I'm going back again
To dear old Erin's isle
My friends will meet me on the pier
And greet me with a smile
Their faces, sure, I've almost forgot
I've been so long away
But me mother will introduce them all
And this to me will say
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, me boy
And here's your sister, Kate
And sure there's the girl you used to swing
Down by the garden gate
Shake hands with all your neighbours
And kiss the colleens all
You're as welcome as the flowers in May
To dear old Donegal
They'll line the roads for miles and miles
They'll come from near and far
And they'll give a party when I go home
With Irish jauntin' cars
The spirits'll flow and we'll be gay
We'll fill your hearts with joy
And the piper will play an Irish reel
To greet the Yankee boy
We'll dance and sing the whole night long
Such fun as never was seen.
The lads'll be decked in corduroy
The colleens wearin' green
There'll be thousands there that I never saw
I've been so long away
But me mother will introduce them all
And this to me will say
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, me boy
And here's your sister, Kate
And sure there's the girl you used to swing
Down by the garden gate
Shake hands with all your neighbours
And kiss the colleens all
You're as welcome as the flowers in May
To dear old Donegal
Meet Branigan, Fannigan, Milligan, Gilligan
Duffy, McCuffy, Malachy, Mahone
Rafferty, Lafferty, Donnelly, Connelly
Dooley, O'Hooley, Muldowney, Malone
Madigan, Cadigan, Lanihan, Flanihan
Fagan, O'Hagan, O'Hoolihan, Flynn
Shanihan, Manihan, Fogarty, Hogarty
Kelly, O'Kelly, McGuinness, McGuinn
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, me boy
And here's your sister, Kate
And sure there's the girl you used to swing
Down by the garden gate
Shake hands with all your neighbours
And kiss the colleens all
You're as welcome as the flowers in May
To dear old Donegal

Another Park, Another Sunday
Another Park, Another Sunday
Composer(s): Tom Johnston
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers
As I'm sitting in my room staring out the window
I'm wondering where you've gone
Thinking back 'bout the happy hours just before the dawn
Outside the wind is blowing......it seems to call your name
Again
Where have you gone
City streets and lonely highways I've traveled down
My car is empty
And the radio just seems to bring me down
I'm just tryin' to find me a pretty smile that I can get into
It's true
I'm lost without you
Another lonely park, another Sunday
(Another lonely day)
Why is it life turns out that way
(It just turns out that way)
Just when you think you've got a good thing
It seems to slip away
It's warm outside, no clouds are in the sky
But I need myself a place to go and hide
I keep it to myself...... I don't want nobody else
To see me cryin' all those tears in my eyes
Another lonely park, another Sunday
(Another lonely day)
Why is it life turns out that way
(It just turns out that way)
Just when you think you've got a good thing
It seems to slip away
Another park, another Sunday
It's dark and empty thanks to you
I've got to get myself together
But it's hard to do

Composer(s): Rudy Sooter - Doye O'Dell
Performer(s): Doye O'Dell
and multiple other artists
Dear Okie, if you see Arkie
Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy
Pickin' up prunes, squeezin' oil out of olives
Dear Okie, if you see Arkie
Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy
Rakin' up gold, playing fiddle in the Follies
Now, he'll be lucky if he finds a place to live
But there's orange juice fountains flowing for those kids of his
So, Dear Okie, if you see Arkie
Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy
Diggin' oil wells, all he needs is a shovel
Dear Okie, if you see Arkie
Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy
Sellin' used cars, just a-waitin' for the suckers
Dear Okie, if you see Arkie
Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy
Handin' out checks, as a welfare worker
If he takes the Freeway to the grocery store
He'll make it fine if he starts out the day before
Dear Okie, if you see Arkie
Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy
Pickin' up prunes, squeezin' oil out of olives

Zoals Het Eenmaal Is Geweest
Zoals Het Eenmaal Is Geweest
Performer(s): Marva
Zoals het eenmaal is geweest
Zo zal het nooit meer zijn
Al hou ik nog van jou het meest
Al zal er nooit een ander zijn
Zoals het eenmaal is geweest
Zo zal het nooit meer zijn
Al hou ik nog van jou het meest
Al zal er nooit een ander zijn
Wij waren nog maar zestien jaar
Maar hielden dolveel van elkaar
De zon scheen helder boven ons bestaan
Na d' eerste kus in 't lentegroen
Na d' eerste zucht in 't naseizoen
Viel in mijn hart de eerste liefdetraan
Zoals het eenmaal is geweest
Zo zal het nooit meer zijn
Al hou ik nog van jou het meest
Al zal er nooit een ander zijn
Het is niet waar wat men beweert
Na regen zonneschijn
Zoals het eenmaal is geweest
Zo zal het nooit meer zijn
Al hoor ik weer een liefdeslied
De noten zijn dezelfde niet
Het klinkt niet meer zo vrolijk zoals toen
Al kwam de lente stralend weer
De kleuren zijn zo mooi niet meer
Want wat een keer vervaagt
Wordt nooit meer groen
Zoals het eenmaal is geweest
Zo zal het nooit meer zijn
Al hou ik nog van jou het meest
Al zal er nooit een ander zijn
Zoals het eenmaal is geweest
Zo zal het nooit meer zijn
Al hou ik nog van jou het meest
Al zal er nooit een ander zijn

Dear Mr. Fantasy
Composer(s): Jim Capaldi - Steve Winwood - Chris Wood
First release by: Traffic - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar
Make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years
