Even Though You're Gone


Even Though You're Gone
Composer(s): Kenny Gamble; Leon Huff
Performer(s): The Jacksons



[Chorus:]
Gotta find a way somehow
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Gotta find a way somehow
Even though you're gone

Things don't look as bad
As they did yesterday
Every minute I get
Stronger somehow ... some way
'Cause I gotta keep on living
I got the will to survive
Even though I feel so bad
So bad inside

[Chorus]

All the plans I had
I've got to give them up
And start anew
Making plans for one
Instead of making plans for two
From now on I'll be thinking
Thinking 'bout myself
It'll be a long time
Before I love somebody else

[Chorus]

I depended on you
For everything
Oh, I really trusted you
How could you do me the
Way you did
You really let me down

[Chorus]

I'm Goin' Back To Louisiana (Where The Bright Moon Shines)


I'm Goin' Back To Louisiana (Where The Bright Moon Shines)
Composer(s): Floyd Thompson; E. Clinton Keithley



I long to be roamin' down in Louisiana
with my lover's gal, only pal
Floatin' on the river while the moon is shinin'
With my lovin' gal, only pal
The whippoor will is callin' from the distant shore
I hear the banjos ring
Darkies sing
In Louisiana
Dear Louisiana
There is where my heart will ever cling

I don't know why I ever roamed from Louisiana and my Dixie home
Dixie home
There among the cotton fields I lived the sweetest days I ever known
Ever known
Tonight I'm goin' to sail along the Mississippi river on my way
On my way
And I know tomorrow I'll be free from sorrow
See my lovin' gal at break of day

I'm goin' back to Louisiana where the bright moon shines
I'm goin' back to Louisiana and to that old gal of mine
When I get back we ain't a goin' to tarry
We're a goin' to find a Preacher man and marry
In the beautiful garden of Louisiana
Where the bright moon shines

Even The Nights Are Better


Even The Nights Are Better
Composer(s): Ken Bell; Terry Skinner; J.L. Wallace
Performer(s): Air Supply;
and various other artists



I, I was the lonely one
Wondering what went wrong
Why love had gone
And left me lonely
I, I was so confused
Feeling like I'd just been used
Then you came to me
And my loneliness left me

I used to think I was tied to a heartache
That was the heartbreak
But now that I've found you

Chorus
Even the nights are better
Now that we're here together
Even the nights are better
Since I found you

You, you knew just what to do
Cause you had been lonely too
And you showed me how
To ease the pain

And you did more
Than mend a broken heart
Cause now you've made a fire start
And I, I can see that you feel
The same way

I never thought there'd be someone to hold me
But then you told me
And now that I've found you

Chorus

Even the days are brighter
When someone you love's beside ya
Even the nights are better
Since I found you
Even the losers get lucky sometimes

Even The Losers


Even The Losers
Composer(s): Tom Petty
Performer(s): Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers;
Nectarine; Los Secretos



Well, it was nearly all summer we sat on your roof
Yeah, we smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon
And I'd show you stars you never could see
Baby, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me

Baby, time meant n othing, anything seemed real
Yeah, you could kiss like fire and you made me feel
Like every word you said was meant to be
No, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me

Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the lo sers keep a little bit of pride
They get lucky sometimes

Two cars parked on the overpass,
Rocks hit the water like broken glass
I should have known right then it was too good to last
God, it's such a drag when you're livin' in the past

Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers keep a little bit of pride
They get lucky sometimes

Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers keep a little bit of pride
Yeah, they get lucky sometimes

Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers get lucky sometimes

Even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers get lucky sometimes

I'm Glad You Reconsidered


I'm Glad You Reconsidered
Composer(s): Lowell Fulson; Fats Washington
Performer(s): Lowell Fulson



I'm glad you reconsidered, baby
I'm glad you're comin' back home to me
I'm glad you reconsidered, baby
I'm glad you're comin' back home to me
Ever since you been gone
I been in so much misery

Tears fell from my eyes
When your letter said you was on your way
Like a child I cried
When you said you was on your way
You know I felt so good
When you said you're comin' back home to stay

I'm gonna be right there
When your train comes rollin' in
I'm gonna be right there, baby
When your train comes rollin' in
I'm gonna hold you in my arms
And you please to never leave me again

Wanna Hear It?

Even The Bad Times Are Good


Even The Bad Times Are Good
Composer(s): Peter Callander; Mitch Murray
Performer(s): The Tremeloes



There are times in this life of mine
I think that the sun forgot how to shine
But as long as you're always there
it don't bother me 'cos why should I care
when all I've gotta do is run to you

Even the bad times are good, soon as I get to you baby
you just gotta hold me and even the bad times are good
Even the bad times are good, soon as I get to you baby
you just gotta kiss me and even the bad times are good
La, la la la la la la,la la
La, la la la la la la,la la

When the day seems to drag along
and all that I do is workin' out wrong
Still I find that I never cry
as long as I know that you're standing by
Then all I've gotta do is run to you

Chorus

La, la la la la la la,la la
La, la la la la la la,la la ...

I'm Glad There Is You


I'm Glad There Is You
Composer(s): Paul Madeira; Jimmy Dorsey
First release by: Jimmy Dorsey & His Orch. - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists



In this world of ordinary people
Extraordinary people
I'm glad there is you
In this world of overrated pleasures
Of underrated treasures
I'm glad there is you
I live to love, I love to live
With you beside me
This role so new I'll muddle through
With you to guide me
In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
More than ever
I'm glad there is you

In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
More than ever
I'm glad there is you

Even Now


Even Now
Composer(s): Marty Panzer; Barry Manilow
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



Even now when there's someone else who cares
When there's someone home who's waiting just for me
Even now I think about you as I'm climbing' up the stairs
And I wonder what to do so she won't see that

Even now when I know it wasn't right
And I've found a better life than what we had
Even now I wake up crying in the middle of the night
And I can't believe it still could hurt so bad

Even now when I have come so far
I wonder where you are,
I wonder why it's still so hard without you

Even now when I come shining through, I swear I think of you
And how I wish you knew, even now

Even now when I never hear your name
And the world has changed so much since you've been gone
Even now I still remember and the feelings still the same
And this pain inside of me goes on and on, even now

Even now when I have come so far
I wonder where you are
I wonder why it's still so hard without you

Even now when I come shining' through I swear I think of you
and God, I wish you knew
Somehow, even now

I'm Glad That I'm Bugs Bunny


I'm Glad That I'm Bugs Bunny
Composer(s): Alan Livingston; Warren Foster; Mike Maltese; Billy May
Performer(s): Mel Blanc



I got big funny ears, they are so long and flat
They are the very reasons I never wear a hat
My teeth stick out in front
Like pickets in a fence
And as far as riches go, I'm not worth two cents

So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

Suppose I was an Elephant, then I'd be really sunk
For every place I'd ever go, I'd have to take my trunk!
Suppose I was a Zebra, with stripes from head to tail
I'd bet they'd think that I'd escaped, and throw me back in jail!

So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

Suppose I was a tall Giraffe, and swallowed carrots, yummy!
With that long neck, I'd surely starve before they reached my tummy
Suppose I was a big fat pig I might as well be frank
I wouldn’t care to end up as some kiddie’s piggy bank

So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

What’s up, Doc?

Suppose I was a smelly skunk, I wouldn’t have a friend
I’d be alone excepting for, A cent I couldn’t spend
Suppose I was a ‘Gator in the swamps where time would drag
Until the day when I’d be made into a travelling bag

So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

Suppose I was a turkey then I’d end up on a tray
In the middle of the table on the next Thanksgiving Day
Suppose I was a Bullfrog, croaking out a not
I’d dread the time when I would be, a frog in someone’s throat!

So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

Even It Up


Even It Up
Composer(s): Sue Ennis; Ann Wilson; Nancy Wilson
Performer(s): Heart; Wicked Peach; Nancy Wilson



"I'm the one who can please you"
Ain't that what you said
You seemed so alone
I guess I was easily led

I showed you my love
But I guess that it went to your head
When you were hungry
I brought you your breakfast in bed

Even it up, even it up, even it up
Even it up, even it up, even it up
A good man pays his debt
But you ain't paid yours yet
Even it
Even it up

I took you down over the tracks when
you wanted some sin
I brought you satin and herbs from
the places I been
Now something tells me you're
going to use me again
You think you can lay down the how and
the where and the when

Even it up, even it up, even it up
Even it up, even it up, even it up
I don't want to bum it all
But this axe she got to fall
Even it
Even it up

I'm Glad I'm Not Young Anymore


I'm Glad I'm Not Young Anymore
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Maurice Chevalier



Poor boy! Poor boy!
Down-hearted and depressed and in a spin
Poor boy! Poor boy!
Oh, youth can really do a fellow in!

How lovely to sit here in the shade
With none of the woes of man and maid
I'm glad I'm not young anymore

The rivals that don't exist at all
The feeling you're only two feet tall
I'm glad that I'm not young anymore

No more confusion
No morning-after surprise
No self-delusion
That when you're telling those lies
She isn't wise

And even if love comes through the door
The chance that goes on forevermore
Forevermore is shorter than before
Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore

The tiny remark that tortures you
The fear that your friends won't like her too
I'm glad I'm not young anymore
The longing to end the stale affair
Until you find out she doesn't care
I'm glad that I'm not young anymore

No more frustration
No star-crossed lover am I
No aggravation
Just one reluctant reply
"Lady, goodbye!"

The Fountain of Youth is dull as paint
Methuselah is my patron saint
I've never been so comfortable before
Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore

Even Geduld


Even Geduld
Performer(s): Jef Burm



Even geduld, de filmlas is gebroken
Even geduld, er is weer Frans gesproken
Even geduld, er is een storing in het interludium
Ohoh (ohoh) ohoh (ohoh)
Daar zwemt mijn leading lady in het aquarium
Even geduld, ze zegt ons weer wat liefs
Even geduld, om tien uur volgt het nieuws

Ik kijk al jaren 's avonds naar de televisie
En de programma's vind ik lang niet mis
Als ik m'n ogen toedoe zou ik durven zweren
Dat het precies een echte radio is

Een keer heb ik de antenne gans verkeerd verbonden
Toen zijn de schipper, Penelope en Armand Pien
Te zien geweest zodra m'n vrouw ging wassen
In 't ruitje van haar wasmachien

Even geduld, de filmlas is gebroken
Even geduld, er is weer Frans gesproken
Even geduld, er is een storing in het interludium
Ohoh (ohoh) ohoh (ohoh)
Daar zwemt mijn leading lady in het aquarium
Even geduld, ze zegt ons weer wat liefs
Even geduld, om tien uur volgt het nieuws

Lalala...

Ohoh (ohoh) ohoh (ohoh)

Even geduld, ze zegt ons weer wat liefs
Even geduld, om tien uur volgt het nieuws
Even geduld, heb je m'n lied gehoord
Even geduld, kijk dan maar lekker voort

I'm Glad I Met You After All


I’m Glad I Met You After All
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



It was spring time when I first met you
The stars above were shinning through
I took one glance and then I let you…
Just steal my heart…
You knew it too

You smiled at me so sweet and tender
It flushed my face just like the sun
I could not tell were it would end Dear
But I knew then it had begun

Let people say just what they like Dear
It does not matter now at all
Deep down inside I know I love you
I'm Glad I Met You After All

I guess it was not meant to be Dear
Because I found you much too late
And if it was the plans got mixed Dear
So we must suffer the mistake

Your memory I will keep forever
Locked within a heart that pines
But where the world can never touch it
It’s all I have but it is mine

Let people say just what they like Dear
It does not matter now at all
Deep down inside I know I love you
I'm Glad I Met You After All

Even Cowgirls Get The Blues


Even Cowgirls Get The Blues
Composer(s): Rodney Crowell
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris;
and various other artists



She's a rounder I can tell you that
She can sing 'em all night, too
She'll raise hell about the sleep she lost
But even cowgirls get the blues

Especially cowgirls, they're the gypsy kind
And need their laid on 'em loose
She's lived to see the world turned upside down
Hitchin' rides out of the blues

But even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been

Lonely nights are out there on the road
Motel ceiling stares you down
There must be safer ways to pay your dues
But even cowgirls get the blues

Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been

Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like the restless wind
The only way she's ever been

I'm Getting Tired So I Can Sleep


I'm Getting Tired So I Can Sleep
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): James Burrell
and multiple other artists



Out on a hike all day, dear
Part of the army grind
Weary and long the way, dear
But really I don't mind

I'm getting tired so I can sleep
I want to sleep so I can dream
I want to dream so I can be with you

I've got your picture by my bed
'Twill soon be placed beneath my head
To keep me company the whole night through

For a little while, whatever befalls
I will see your smile till reveille calls

I hope you're tired enough to sleep
And please sleep long enough to dream
And look for me for I'll be dreaming too

Even Cowboys Like A Little Rock & Roll


Even Cowboys Like A Little Rock & Roll
Composer(s): Chris LeDoux
Performer(s): Chris LeDoux



Well now cowboys love the ladies
They like beans and sourdough
Good horses and hot black coffee
And campfires burnin' low
You know we love that cowboy music
But I'll bet you didn't know
That even cowboys like just a little
Rock & roll

Chorus
Even cowboys like a little bit of rock & roll
Yeah we all got some boogie woogie in our soul
There's a little bit of Buddy Holly
(Chuck Berry) (Charlie Daniels)
In every cowboy that I know
And even cowboys like a little bit of rock & roll

Now when your camped out on the prairie
And that ole moon is shinin' bright
You can hear those cattle bawlin' soft 'n low
There's nothin' like a cowboy's song to make it all feel just right
But even cowboys like a little bit rock & roll

Chorus

Now those old buckaroos are set in their ways
And they'll even tell you so
Say they don't like nothin' but them old time cowboy songs
Yeah but I've seen the green grass growin'
Underneath that winter snow
I'll bet them old cowboys even like a little rock & roll

Chorus

Yeah there's a little long hair
In every single cowboy that I know
And even cowboys like a little bit of rock & roll

I'm Getting So Now I Don't Care


I'm Getting So Now I Don't Care
Composer(s): Richard Howard; Bartley Costello; Dave Ringle



Oh how I cried when you told me goodbye
Clouds hid the sun in the sky
And oh, how I pleaded and begged you to stay
But my heart is diff'rent to day

You didn't care tho' you made me believe
That you could never deceive
Perhaps you are sorry and want me again
But now you would call me in vain

I'm getting so now I don't worry
I'm getting so now I don't care
When my heart was aching I tried to be game
And let everybody think I was to blame
I loved you so much when I lost you
I thought I would die of despai
But old dreams fade away
And I thank God to day
I'm getting so now I don't care

Even After


Even After
Performer(s): Ron Dante



I know the place is just a mess
I guess I kinda let things slide
'Cause you were gone I didn't care
I only know I hurt inside

And now you ask if I still care for you
Even after, even after, you went off with someone new...

(chorus)
Even after (even after)
I still want you like before
I forgive you, even after
You found new arms to explore
Starting needing, hoping, praying you would walk back through that
door
Even after, even after
And maybe even more

A million questions in my mind
With answers I don't wanna find
I only know you're here again
And life can be what life was then

Can't run away 'cause there's no place to hide
I am helpless, 'cause my love for you goes deeper than my pride

(repeat chorus)

Even after, even after
And maybe even more

I'm Getting Sentimental Over You


I'm Getting Sentimental Over You
Composer(s): George Bassman; Ned Washington
First release by: The Dorsey Brothers Orch. - 1932
Covered by multiple other artists



Oh, I never thought I'd fall
But now I hear the call
I'm getting sentimental over you
All the thoughtful little things you say and do
That thrill me through and through
I'm getting sentimental over you
I thought I was happy
I could live without love
Now I must admit that love is all I'm thinking off
Baby, won't you please be kind
And just make up your mind
That you'll be sweet and gentle
Be gentle with me
Because I'm sentimental over you

Because I'm sentimental over you

Oh, I can't stand much more of this

Evelyn


Evelyn
Composer(s): Hugo Felix; Anne Caldwell
Performer(s): Mizzi Hajos



Love I think is tommy rot
girls are such a funny lot
Only one my manly fancy seems to please
But without the least excuse
With me she can raise the deuce
For the little villain is a fearful tease
Always messing me about
Till I want to shout

I could win a score of them
Then I'd win some more of them
But upon my soul, I think I'm too blase!
Just this one girl seems to start
Little twitters round my heart
Doctor diagnosed the case as "love" today
It is such a fearful bore
I'll have to say once more

Oh, Evelyn, oh, Evelyn
You'll have to quit your devilin'!
You tease and antalize me so
You've surely got me "on the go!"
Oh Evelyn, Oh Evelyn
Just mind what you're about
If you are on the level in the game you seem to revel in
Oh Evelyn quit your devilin'
Just cut it out
