Today Is Mine
Today Is Mine
Composer(s): Jerry Reed Hubbard
Performer(s): Glen Campbell
When the sun came up this morning
I took the time to watch it rise
And as its beauty struck the darkness
From the sky
I thought how small and unimportant
All my troubles seem to be
And how lucky another day
Belongs to me
And as the sleepy world around me
Woke up to greet the day
All its silent beauty
Seemed to say
So what, my friend, if all your dreams
You haven't realized
Just look around you
You've got a new day to try
Today is mine, today is mine
To do with what I will
Today is mine
My own special cup to fill
To die a little that I might learn to live
To take from life that I might learn to give
Today is mine
Like most men I curse the present
Void of peace of mind
And race my thoughts beyond tomorrow
Envision there a sweeter time
But as I view this day around me
I can see the fool I've been
For today's the only garden
That we can tend
Today is mine, today is mine
To do with what I will
Today is mine
My own special cup to fill
To die a little that I might learn to live
To take from life that I might learn to give
Today is mine

I Don't Want To Talk About It
I Don't Want To Talk About It
Composer(s): Danny Whitten
First release by: Crazy Horse - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
I can tell by your eyes that you've prob'bly been cryin' forever
and the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart
blue for the tears, black for the night's fears
The star in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke this ol' heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
My heart, whoa, heart

Easy (The Oak Ridge Boys)
Easy
Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys
All the boys called her easy
Took her to drive-in movies
And bragged about the good times they had
The girls talked about her
And had parties without her
And wondered why a girl would let herself go so bad
They called her easy, easy
And laughed about how easy she was
They called her easy, easy
They said she was easy to love
They didn't care if she was lonely
They didn't care if she was only reachin' out
The only way she could
They didn't try to understand her
And this smalltown talk branded her
With names that said she wasn't any good
They called her easy, easy
And laughed about how easy she was
They called her easy, easy
They said she was easy to love
Easy's child came early
It seemed in such a hurry
For one who'd go through life without a name
Easy's eyes were brighter
Than the moonlight on the water
When they handed her the child no one would claim
My friends thought I was crazy
To love Easy and her baby
They said I was a fool, but I just smiled
'Cause love is what you make it
Any way you finally take it
It's the only thing that makes life worthwhile
Now she's easy, easy
And life is not as lonely as it was
Because she's easy, she's easy
She's so easy to love
Now she's easy, easy
And life is not as lonely...

I Don't Want To Spoil The Party
I Don't Want To Spoil The Party
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
First recording/First release by: The Beatles - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here
So I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone
please let me know
I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong
I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her
Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her
If I find her I'll be glad
I still love her
I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here
So I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone
please let me know
Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her
If I find her I'll be glad
I still love her
I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong
I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her

Jesus He Knows Me
Jesus He Knows Me
Composer(s): Tony Banks;
Phil Collins; Mike Rutherford
Performer(s): Genesis;
Brotherhood Of St. Gregory; Spectrum
You see the face on the TV screen
Coming at you every Sunday
See that face on the billboard
That man is me
On the cover of the magazine
There's no question why I'm smiling
You buy a piece of paradise
You buy a piece of me
I'll get you everything you wanted
I'll get you everything you need
Don't need to believe in hereafter
Just believe in me
'Cos Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I'm right
And he's been telling me
Everything is alright
I believe in the family
With my ever loving wife beside me
But she don't know about my girlfriend
Or the man I met last night
Do you believe in God
'Cos that's what I'm selling
And if you wanna get to heaven
I'll see you right
You won't even have to leave your house
Or get outta your chair
You don't even have to touch that dial
'Cos I'm everywhere
And Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I'm right
Well he's been telling me
Everything's gonna be alright
Won't find me practising what I'm preaching
Won't find me making no sacrifice
But I can get you a pocketful of miracles
If you promise to be good, try to be nice
God will take good care of you
Just do as I say, don't do as I do
I'm counting my blessings,
I've found true happiness
'Cos I'm getting richer, day by day
You can find me in the phone book,
Just call my toll free number
You can do it anyway you want
Just do it right away
There'll be no doubt in your mind
You'll believe everything I'm saying
If you wanna get closer to him
Get on your knees and start praying
'Cos Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I'm right
Well he's been telling me
Everything's gonna be alright, alright
Jesus he knows me
Jesus he knows me, you know...

Today I Killed A Man
Today I Killed A Man
Composer(s): Cook - Greenway
Performer(s): P.J. Proby
Today I killed a man I didn't know
I held my rifle high and shot him low
I'd like to think he really was to blame
Well I never knew or never will his name
I guess that someone, somewhere knew him well
And they'll cry when they're told that he has fell
But it's hard for me to think of him as good
'Cause he'd done me just the same if he could
Oh mother, oh mama, I'm so cold
And I feel like I am quickly growing old
So I hope you are thinking of your son
'Cause tomorrow morning I'll be twenty-one
Oh Johnny Ray, Johnny Ray, oh, he don't worry now
He don't wonder how
Today my sergeant told me I've done well
That I'd sent another Southern boy to hell
But I can't help wondering about the lost of life
And if that rebel soldier had a wife
Oh mama, oh mam, I'm so cold
And the good book doesn't help me like you told
'Cause it don't tell me if I'm right or wrong
Or when this war will end, just how long
Oh mama, oh mama, I'm so cold
And I feel I am quickly growing old
So I hope that you are thinking of your son
'Cause tomorrow morning I'll be twenty-one

I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire
Composer(s): Eddie Seiler; Sol Marcus; Bennie Benjamin; Eddie Durham
First release by: Harlan Leonard and His Rockets - 1940
Covered by multiple other artists
I don't ever care to rise to power
I would rather be with you an hour
For the things that one can buy
Are not worth a lover's sigh
I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start a flame in your heart
In my heart I have but one desire
And that one is you, no other will do
I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim
I just want to be the one you love
And with your admission that you feel the same
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of, believe me
I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start a flame in your heart

Performer(s): The Carpenters
and multiple other artists
Long ago, and, oh, so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
but you're not really here
It's just the radio
Don't you remember you told me you love me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby
I love you, I really do
Loneliness is such a sad affair, and I can hardly wait
to be with you again
What to say, to make you come again?
Come back to me again, and play your sad guitar

Composer(s): Randy Sparks
Performer(s): The New Christy Minstrels
and multiple other artists
Today while the blossom still clings to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joys that are mine today
I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover
You'll know who I am by the song that I sing
I'll feast at your table, I'll lie in your clover
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing
Today while the blossom still clings to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joys that are mine today
I can't be contented with yesterday's glories
I can't live on promises winter to spring
This is my moment and now is my story
Who cares what tomorrow will bring
Today while the blossom still clings to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joys that are mine today

I Don't Want To See You Again
I Don't Want To See You Again
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): Peter & Gordon
and multiple other artists
I hear that love is planned
how can I understand
when someone says to me
"I don't want to see you again"?
Why do I cry at night?
Something wrong could be right
I hear you say to me
"I don't want to see you again"
As you turned your back to me
you hid the light of day
I didn't have to play
at being broken hearted
I know that later on
after love's been and gone
I'd still hear someone say
"I don't want to see you again"
As you turned your back on me
you hid the light of day
I didn't have to play
at being broken hearted
I hear that love is planned
how can I understand
when someone says to me
"I don't want to see you again"?
I don't want to see you again

Today (Jefferson Airplane)
Today
Composer(s): Marty Balin - Paul Kantner
First release by: Jefferson Airplane - 1967
Today I feel like pleasing you more than before
Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for
To be living for you is all I want to do
To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true
Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed
Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same
To be anymore than all I am would be a lie
I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry
Today everything you want, I swear it all will come true
Today I realize how much I'm in love with you
With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love
To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enought
Please, please listen to me
It's taken so long to come true
And it's all for you
all for you...

I don't want to play in your yard
I don't like you anymore
You'll be sorry when you see me
Sliding down our cellar door
You can't holler down our rain barrel
You can't climb our apple tree
I don't wanna play in your yard
If you can't be good to me
You can't holler down our rain barrel
You can't climb our apple tree
I don't wanna play in your yard
If you can't be good to me

And Jesus answers my prayers
He lifts my burdens, stills my fears
Jesus answers my prayers
He gives me confort, dries my tears
Jesus answers my prayers
