Like A Sad Song
Like A Sad Song
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver
and multiple other artists
Usually in the morning I'm filled with sweet belonging
And everything is beautiful to see
Even when it's raining, the sound of heaven singing
Is simply joyful music to me
Sometimes I feel like a sad song
Like I'm all alone without you
So many different places, a million smiling faces
Life is so incredible to me
Especially to be near you and how it is to touch you
Oh paradise was made for you and me
I know that life goes on just perfectly
And everything is just the way that it should be
Still there are times when my heart feels like breaking
And anywhere is where I'd rather be
Oh and in the night time I know that it's the right time
To hold you close and say I love you so
To have someone to share with
And someone I can care with
And that is why I wanted you to know
Sometimes I feel like a sad song
Like I'm all alone without you, without you

Buy Me A Rose
Buy Me A Rose
Composer(s): Jim Funk; Erik Hickenlooper
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
and various other artists
He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
A three car garage, her own credit cards
He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss good night
If he could only read her mind, she'd say
Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life
Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone
And she can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong
'Cause lately she'd try anything to turn his head
Would it make a difference if she said
Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life
And the more that he lives the less that he tries
To show her the love that he hold inside
And the more that she gives the more that he sees
This is a story of you and me
So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
Opened the door to a heart that I hurt
And I hope you notice this look in my eyes
Cause I'm gonna make things right
I'm gonna hold you tonight
Do all those little things
For the rest of your life

Like A Rolling Stone
Like A Rolling Stone
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1966 - Come Una Pietra Che Rotola (by Gianni Pettenati & The Juniors)
1995 - Comme Ces Pierres Qui Roulent (by Hugues Aufray)
1998 - Come Una Pietra Scalciata (by Articolo 31)
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Buttons And Bows
Buttons And Bows
Composer(s): Jay Livingston; Ray Evans
Performer(s): Bob Hope
and various other artists
East is east and west is west
And the wrong one I have chose
Let's go where they keep on wearin'
Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
Rings and things and buttons and bows.
Don't bury me in this prairie
Take me where the cement grows
Let's move down to some big town
Where they love a gal by the cut o' her clothes
And you'll stand out, in buttons and bows
I'll love you in buckskin
Or skirts that you've homespun
But I'll love ya' longer, stronger
Where yer friends don't tote a gun
My bones denounce the buckboard bounce
And the cactus hurts my toes
Let's vamoose where gals keep a-usin'
Those silks and satins and linen that shows
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows
Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women
In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes
And French perfume that rocks the room
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows.
Buttons and bows, buttons and bows.....

Like A Rock
((French Version: Comme Un Roc (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1996))
Composer(s): Bob Seger
First release by: Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists
Stood there boldly
Sweatin' in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I'd never felt that strong
Like a rock
I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock
My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock
Like a rock, I was strong as I could be
Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock, I was something to see
Like a rock
And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams
Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
twenty years
I don't know
sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
And sometimes late at night
When I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
recall
Like a rock. standin' arrow straight
Like a rock, chargin' from the gate
Like a rock, carryin' the weight
Like a rock
Lihe a rock, the sun upon my skin
Like a rock, hard against the wind
Like a rock, I see myself again
Like a rock

Stocks and bonds, ooh-ooh

You'll get a pain and ruin your bankroll!
Keep the spoon out of your cup
When you're drinking tea
Oh, take good care of yourself
You belong to me!
Don't sit on hornet's tails, ooh-ooh!
Or on nails, ooh-ooh!
Or third rails, ooh-ooh!
You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum!
Keep away from bootleg hooch
When you're on a spree
Oh, take good care of yourself
You belong to me!

Performer(s): Jack Lewis & The Americans
Butterscotch candy and strawberry pie
Gonna love my baby till the day that I die
'Cause of butterscotch candy and strawberry pie
Well I met my baby in a goodies shop
Sellin' butterscotch candy and soda pop and strawberry pie
Now I said, pretty baby I love your eyes
But in the back of my mind were those strawberry pies
So I said, pretty baby won't you please be mine
Butterscotch candy and strawberry pie
Gonna love my baby till the day that I die
'Cause of butterscotch candy and strawberry pie
Now she said yes and we were wed
In a butterscotch church on a strawberry bed
In the middle of May on the sunniest day of all
Now I'll eat my fill of strawberry pie
And butterscotch candy till the day that I die
My baby and I gonna have ourselves a ball

Like A Prayer
Composer(s): Madonna - Patrick Leonard
First release by: Madonna - 1989
Covered by multiple other artists
Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
Like a child you whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream, no end and no beginning
You're here with me, it's like a dream
Let the choir sing
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me

Shule, shule, shule-a-roo
Shule-a-rak-shak, shule-a-ba-ba-coo
When I saw my Sally Babby Beal
come bibble in the boo shy Lorey
Here I sit on Buttermilk Hill

Every tear would turn a mill

Shule, shule, shule-a-roo
Shule-a-rak-shak, shule-a-ba-ba-coo
When I saw my Sally Babby Beal
come bibble in the boo shy Lorey
I sold my flax, I sold my wheel
to buy my love a sword of steel
So it in battle he might wield
Johnny's gone for a soldier
Shule, shule, shule-a-roo
Shule-a-rak-shak, shule-a-ba-ba-coo
When I saw my Sally Babby Beal
come bibble in the boo shy Lorey
Oh my baby, oh, my love
gone the rainbow, gone the dove
Your father was my only love
Johnny's gone for a soldier
Shule, shule, shule-a-roo
Shule-a-rak-shak, shule-a-ba-ba-coo
When I saw my Sally Babby Beal
come bibble in the boo shy Lorey

Like a lover the morning sun
Slowly rises and kisses you awake
Your smile is soft and drowsy
As you let it play upon your face
Oh, how I dream I might be like the morning sun to you
(I might be like the morning sun to you)
Like a lover the river wind, sighs and ripples
Its fingers through your hair
Upon your cheek it lingers
And I've never known a sweeter place
Oh, how I dream I might be like the river wind to you
(I might be like the river wind to you)
How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me, my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights
Without you
Like a lover the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
It's light arrives on tiptoe
Gently taking you in its embrace

Buttermilk Boy
Buttermilk Boy
Composer(s): Steve Marriott
Performer(s): Humble Pie
Yeah, she pays no mind to methods you employ
She wants a big city man, not a country boy
Go get your long hair cut
Scrape the mud off your boots
Eh, wash the hell behind those ears
Buy yourself some tailored suits
Oh, Buttermilk Boy better gain some pounds
Before she lets her knickers down
She wants a musclely man all gristle and bone
Makes no difference how you strive
She couldn't care if you were dead or alive
A burly, beefy, strong arm man
Is all she cares to meet
Before you ever heard the word guitar
Yes, your mother used to see her as a star
Yes, she spent her teens?
In chauffered limosines
And I heard tell you can't get insured
For a clapped out '45 drop head Ford
Oh, Buttermilk Boy better gain some pounds
Before she lets her knick, knick, knick, knickers down
She wants a musclely man all gristle and bone
She'll tear you down like a steer comin' through
Like I said she ain't no use to you
A lumpy hairy mundane brain
Is all she cares to make
So let me put you straight, yeah
Marry farm-yard Kate
Yep, she weighs two hundred pounds its said
Oh, she'll keep you warm in bed
Oh, Buttermilk Boy, you better gain some pounds
Before she lets her knick, I say, knickers down
Well, a musclely man all gristle and bone
So you like to think you know where its about
But she'll suck you in and then she'll blow you out
Yeah, Kate will keep you satisfied
Until your dying day
Yeah, let me hear some of that strong-arm music

Like A Hurricane
Composer(s): Neil Young
First release by: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
Once I thought I saw you in a crowded, hazy bar
dancing on the light from star to star
Far across the moon beams
I know that's who you are
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire
You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye
And I'm getting blown away
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay
I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away
I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream
and you could have been anyone to me
Before that moment you touched my lips
that perfect feeling when time just slips away
between us and our foggy trips
You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye
And I'm getting blown away
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay
I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away
You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream
and you could have been anyone to me
Before that moment you touched my lips
that perfect feeling when time just slips away
between us and our foggy trips
You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye
And I'm getting blown away
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay
I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away

Like A Hurricane
Composer(s): Michael Clark
Performer(s): Marie Osmond
Baby, the girls want to know about you
they want to know what you do to make me so crazy
'Cause lately, they see how I've turned around
my feet never touch the ground since you've been near me
They're asking "Is the boy really that hot?"
I tell them yes you are
"Can you tell us what the boy's got?"
Well, that's kind of hard
You see, it's not that easy
I know they wouldn't believe me....
'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you
After lovin' you.......
But baby, they didn't believe a word
they said that they've never heard of a boy like that
That maybe I was stretchin' out the truth
tryin' to take them for a fool with a story like that
They kept asking "Is the boy really that hot?"
I tell them yes you are
"Can you tell us what the boy's got?"
Well, that's kind of hard
You see, it's not that easy
I know they wouldn't believe me....
'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you
After lovin' you.......
'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you
'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you
'Cause you love me like a hurricane ...

Fell in love in the wink of an eye
With the girl who was called Butterfly
She said she loved me so she could not let me go
But still I had to say goodbye
Butterfly my Butterfly
I'll come home to you one day
Butterfly my Butterfly
Wait for me don't fly away
Never fly in the heat of the sun
Close your wings when the long day is done
Stay home and wait for me till I get back
And then counting the minutes one by one
Butterfly my Butterfly...
When a man longs to be free
He will sail to the end of the sea
I won't be gone too long but while I travel on
Just close your wings and wait for me
Butterfly my Butterfly...

Without your charms
