Every Little Moment


Every Little Moment
Composer(s): Vivian Ellis; George Newman



Every little moment I’m with you I’m happy
Every little moment without you I’m blue
Every little daydream, my dream is about you
Every little moment I’m thinking of you
You can make a day go by like a song
Or seem centuries long
Every little moment I’m lonely without you
Every little moment I only want you

Here and now, here we vow
I’ll attend, defend, befriend and love you
When you’re near I know dear you’re my beau, my Romeo
Your protector I’ll be
Soon the rector will see

Every little moment I’m with you I’m happy
Every little moment without you I’m blue
Every little daydream, I dream is about you
Every little moment I’m thinking of you

You can make a day go by like a song
Or seem centuries long
Every little moment I’m lonely without you
Every little moment I only want you

You can make a day go by like a song
Or seem centuries long

Every little moment I’m lonely without you
Every little moment I only want you

I'm Gonna Live Till I Die


I'm Gonna Live Till I Die
Composer(s): Al Hoffman; Walter Kent; Mann Curtis
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



I'm gonna live till I die
I'm gonna laugh 'stead of cry
I'm gonna take the town and turn it upside down
I'm gonna live, live, live till I die

They're gonna say "What a guy!"
I'm gonna play for the sky
Ain't gonna miss a thing I'm gonna have my fling
I'm gonna live, live, live till I die

The blues 'll lay low I'll make 'em stay low
They'll never trail over my head
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel
But until then, Halelujah!
Gonna dance, gonna fly
I'll take a chance ridin' high
Before my number's up I'm gonna fill my cup
I'm gonna live, live, live, live, live until I die

I'm gonna live till I die
I'm gonna laugh 'stead of cry
I'm gonna take the town and turn it upside down
I'm gonna live, live, live till I die

They're gonna say "What a guy!"
I'm gonna play for the sky
Ain't gonna miss a thing I'm gonna have my fling
I'm gonna live, live, live till I die

The blues 'll lay low I'll make 'em stay low
They'll never trail over my head
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel
But until then, Halelujah!
Gonna dance, gonna fly
I'll take a chance ridin' high
Before my number's up I'm gonna fill my cup
I'm gonna live, live, live, live, live until I die

Every Little Kiss


Every Little Kiss
Composer(s): Bruce Hornsby
Performer(s): Bruce Hornsby; Sara Evans



Way out here, working on the docks
Everyone sees the long day through
Well what would I do without the nights and the phone
And the chance just to talk to you
What wouldn't I do now...
Just to talk to you
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
Little relief in sight
Someday when times weren't so tight

Chorus
When the day goes down on the water town
When the sun sinks low all around
That's when I know I need you now
You're what I miss
Every little kiss
Every little one, oh, every little one

Everybody here's a number, not a name
But I guess that's all right with me
As I sit alone after a long day
In the absence of company
Oh I let my mind wander...
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
Little relief in sight
Someday when times weren't so tight

Chorus

I'm Gonna Live The Life


I'm Gonna Live The Life
Composer(s): Nina Hagen; Brian Liesegang
Performer(s): Nina Hagen



I'm going to live the life
I sing about in my song
I'm going to stand for right
And always shun the wrong
If I'm in the crowd
Or if I'm alone
On the street or in my home
I'm going to live the life
I sing about in my song

Every day, everywhere
On that busy thoroughfare
Folk may watch me, some may spot me
Say I'm foolish, but I don't care
I can't sing one thing
And then live another
Be a saint by day
And a devil undercover
I'm going to live the life
I sing about in my song

I'm going to live the life
I sing about in my song
I'm going to stand for right
And always shun the wrong
If I'm in the crowd
Or if I'm alone
On the street or in my home
I'm going to live the life
I sing about in my song, yes!

Every day, every night
I must always walk in the light
Some mistake me, underrate me
Because I want to do what's right
I can't go to church
And shout all day Sunday
Go out and get drunk
And raise's all day monday (?)
I've got to live the life
I sing about in my song

I'm going to live the life
I sing about in my song
I'm going to live the life
I sing about in my song

Every Little Bit Hurts


Every Little Bit Hurts
Composer(s): Ed Cobb
Performer(s): The Spencer Davis Group;
and various other artists



Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every night I cry
Every night I sigh
Every night I wonder why
You treat me cold
But I can't let you go

Every little hurt counts
Every little hurt counts
Say you're coming home
But you never phone
Leave me all alone
My love is strong for you
I would do wrong for you

I can't take this loneliness
You're giving me
I Can't go on
Giving my life away

Come back to me
Darling you'll see
I can give you all the things
That you wanted before
If you'll stay

Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every night I cry
Every night I sigh
Every night I wonder why
You hurt me
Desert me

I can't take this lonliness
You're giving me
I can't go on
Giving my life away

Come back to me
Darling you'll see
I can give you all the things
That you wanted before
If you'll stay

Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every night I cry
Every night I sigh
Every night I wonder why
You treat me cold
But I can't let you go

Every little bit hurts
Every little bit

I'm Gonna Knock On Your Door


I'm Gonna Knock On Your Door
Composer(s): Aaron Schroeder; Sid Wayne
Performer(s): Eddie Hodges
and multiple other artists



I'm gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell
Tap on your window too
If you don't come out tonight when the moon is bright
I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do

I'm gonna knock on your door, call out your name
Wake up the town, you'll see
I'm gonna hoot, hoot and howl like a lovesick owl
Until you say you're gonna come out with me

Hey little girl, this ain't no time to sleep
Let's count kisses stead of counting sheep
How, how can I hold you near
With you up there and me down here

I'm gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell
Tap on your window too
If you don't come out tonight when the moon is bright
I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do

Hey little girl, this ain't no time to sleep
Let's count kisses stead of counting sheep
How, how can I hold you near
With you up there and me down here

I'm gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell
Tap on your window too
If you don't come out tonight when the moon is bright
I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do
I'm gonna knock and ring and tap and knock and ring and tap and knock and
ring and tap and knock and ring until you do

Every Kinda People


Every Kinda People
Composer(s): Andy Fraser
Performer(s): Robert Palmer;
and various other artists



Said the fight to make ends meet
Keeps a man upon his feet
Holding down his job
Trying to show he can't be bought

Ooh, it takes every kind of people
To make what life's about, yeah
Every kind of people
To make the world go 'round

Someone's looking for a lead
In his duty to a King or creed
Protecting what he feels is right
Fights against wrong with his life

There's no profit in deceit
Honest men know that
Revenge do not taste sweet
Whether yellow, black or white
Each and every man's the same inside

It takes every kind of people
To make what life's about, yeah
Every kind of people
To make the world go 'round

You know that love's the only goal
That could bring a peace to any soul
Hey, and every man's the same
He wants the sunshine in his name

Ooh, it takes every kind of people...

I'm Gonna Kiss Myself Goodbye


I'm Gonna Kiss Myself Goodbye
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Kaufman; Roberts
Performer(s): Bunny Berigan



I'm gonna kiss myself goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
I'm gonna get my wings and fly
Up high, up high

You went and broke my heart in two
Yes you, yes you
And when I'm gone you'll be so blue
'Cos who you gonna double cross, you rascal you

You kinda think that you'll get by
But by and by
You're gonna break right down and cry
You'll cry and cry

A good man's mighty hard to find
Better hurry up and change your mind
Before I hold me close, say farewell
And kiss myself goodbye

Every Fool Has A Rainbow


Every Fool Has A Rainbow
Composer(s): Merle Haggard
Performer(s): Merle Haggard; The Strangers



Every fool has a rainbow
But he never seems to find
The reward that should be waiting
At the end of the line
But he'll give up a bed of roses for
A life filled with thorns
And go chasing after rainbows
Everytime the dream is born
And every fool has a rainbow that only he can see
Every fool has a rainbow and the rule replies to me
And every fool has a rainbow that only he can see
Every fool has a rainbow and the rule replies to me

I'm Gonna Keep On


I'm Gonna Keep On
Composer(s): Bill Gaither
Performer(s): Bill Gaither & Gloria Gaither; Hovie Lister



Well it's as old as the Bible
The folks, they keep on searching
They're discouraged, downhearted
And worried 'bout their destiny

But there are too many answers
To keep on asking the same old questions
I found Jesus, and let me tell you
(Brother, that's enough for me)

I'm gonna keep on singing
And telling folks about Jesus
I'm going keep on writing
Mainly in the Major keys

I'm gonna keep on loving
And pointing folks to Calvary
I've found Jesus, and let me tell you
(Brother, that's enough for me)

Now, I know people who are frightened
About the future of our country
And they ask me if I'm frightened
About the market or the economy

But I've a pilot who has weathered
Every storm that ever happened
And if he sees that little sparrow

I'm gonna keep on singing
And telling folks about Jesus
I'm gonna keep on writing
Mainly in the Major keys

(I'm gonna keep on loving
And pointing my folks to Calvary
About Jesus, and let me tell you
Brother, that's enough for me)

(Oh, I've found Jesus
And let me tell you
Oh brother, that's enough for me)

Every Day Is A New Day


Every Day Is A New Day
Composer(s): Malik Pendelton;
Juanita Wynn; Tracey Anderson
Performer(s): Diana Ross



Every day is a new day
Since you went away

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me

You were my comfort zone
I depended on you for everything
I wanted in my life, yes I did

But now that you're gone
I'm doing just fine without you
How I bless the day you went away

Now I have a song inside
The birds sing to me
I finally can be
Free to spread my wings in harmony

Now the sun shines on me
I have been set free
To collect my thoughts and jot them down
All this happiness I've found
Since you've been away

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me

It may sound crazy, but I forgive you
And want the best for you
The circumstances came my way
Now I've learned to do for myself
And all the things I thought
That you would do for me
Like leaving me alone
To go for my own
When you're not at home
I'm glad you're gone

Now I have a song inside
The birds sing to me
I finally can be
Free to spread my wings in harmony

Now the sun shines on me
I have been set free
To collect my thoughts and jot them down
All this happiness I've found

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me
How I bless that day

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me

Every day

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me

I'm Gonna Hire A Wino To Decorate Our Home


I'm Gonna Hire A Wino To Decorate Our Home
Composer(s): DeWayne Blackwell
Performer(s): David Frizzell



I came crawling home last night, like many nights before
I finally made it to my feet as she opened up the door
And she said, "You're not gonna do this anymore"

She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home
So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam
We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall
And a neon sign, to point the way to our bathroom down the hall"

She said, "Just bring your Friday paycheck, and I'll cash them all right here
And I'll keep on tap, for all your friends, their favorite kinds of beer
And for you, I'll always keep in stock, those soft aluminum cans
And when you're feeling macho, you can crush them like a man"

She said, "We'll rip out all the carpet, and put sawdust on the floor
Serve hard boiled eggs and pretzels, and I won't cook no more
There'll be Monday night football on T.V. above the bar
And a pay phone in the hallway, when your friends can't find their car"

She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home
So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam
We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall
And a neon sign, to point the way to our bathroom down the hall"

She said, "You'll get friendly service, and for added atmosphere
I'll slip on something sexy, and I'll cut it clear to here
Then you can slap my bottom every time you tell a joke
Just as long as you keep tipping, well, I'll laugh until you're broke"

She said, "Instead of family quarrels, we'll have a bar-room brawl
When the Ham's bear say's its closing time, you won't have far to crawl
And when you run out of money, you'll have me to thank
You can sleep it off next morning, when I'm putting it in the bank"

She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home
So you can feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam
When you and your friends get off from work, and have a powerful thirst
There won't be any reason, why you can't stop off here first"

She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home
So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam
We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall
And a neon sign, to point the way to our bathroom down the hall"

I'm Gonna Have To Tell Her


I'm Gonna Have To Tell Her
Composer(s): Homer Banks; Carl Hampton; Raymond Jackson
Performer(s): Isaac Hayes



I'm gonna have to tell her
I just can't help myself
I'll suffer the consequences
I'm to a point
I just dont' care

I've fallen in love with you
And I got to let her know
If leaving her means keeping you
Then I've got to let her go

Thats why ...
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now

I've got to try and tell the kids
In a way they'll understand
That sometimes these things
Can happen to a man

I'm hung up on you girl
So much until it hurts
The more I see of you
The less I wanna see of her

I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now

I'm a hung up on your love
So much until it hurts
The more I see of you
The less I wanna see of her

That's why
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now

I didn't mean
To let this thing get so strong.. no
Sometimes when you're merry in love
You can't tell right from wrong

I'm gonna have to tell her
I've slipped and fell in love
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over

Got to try and tell the kids
Daddy won't be coming home
I'm gonna have to tell her
She's gonna be sleeping all alone

God give me strength
I don't want to make her cry
But I've got to tell her
Just cant tell her no more lies

I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now

Every Day Another Hair Turns Grey


Every Day Another Hair Turns Grey
Composer(s): Mike Hugg
Performer(s): Manfred Mann



In her house, happy she seems
But she's living on mem'ries and dreams
How she dearly longs to recover
Her life when she was a young mother
And ev'ry day another hair turns grey
Yes, ev'ry day another hair turns grey

In her house as mother and wife
She was leading an ordin'ry life
Now she finds so much is missing
Gone is the love, the laughter and kissing
And ev'ry day another hair turns grey
Yes, ev'ry day another hair turns grey

Her children are all married now
She misses so the noise and row
That children make....
(Sound of children playing)

In her house she looks to the past
When first married, the loving was fast
And her husband, once a good lover
Now he seems to be more like a brother
And ev'ry day another hair turns grey
Yes, ev'ry day another hair turns grey

And ev'ry day another hair turns grey
Yes, ev'ry day another hair turns grey

Ev'ry day

I'm Gonna Go Fishin'


I'm Gonna Go Fishin'
Composer(s): Duke Ellington; Peggy Lee
Performer(s): Peggy Lee
and multiple other artists



Woke up this morning
Wanting to cry
Then I remember
Yes I know why
She's a real good one for having her cake
I'm gonna go fishing or jump in the lake

Yeah, I'm gonna go fishing
That's what I'll do
Think about nothing
Not even you
Catch a real big one, a big speckled trout
Snapping in the water I'll pull him on out

Sweet talking liar
Spin me a yarn
Tell me a story
Big as a barn
Don't stop listening I won't hear you out
I'm gonna go fishing and catch me a trout

If a gal is a liar
A gal is a fool
Playing for keepers
and breaking the rules
She'll be the loser, yet to find out
I'm gonna go fishing and catch me a trout

Here in the water
Look at him shine
There goes a big one
That one is mine
Catch up the reel now, I've got the feel now
Hooked onto my fly rod I've got me a trout

Sweet talking liar
You're in for a fall
You tell me a story
You cut to the wall
Don't go my way, I'm down the highway
I'm gonna go fishing...
Yes I'm gonna go fishing...
Yes I'm gonna go fishing and get me some trout

I'm Gonna Get Married


I'm Gonna Get Married
Composer(s): Harold Logan; Lloyd Price
Performer(s): Lloyd Price



(Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)
(Johnny, you're too young)
But I'm gonna get married
(You're so young)
My name she'll carry
(You're too young, and Johnny, you're so smart)
But not smart enough to hide an aching heart

How come my heart deserts me, burning full of love and desire?
How come every time she kisses me, it sets my soul on fire?
How come every time she leaves me, it seems like I've lost a part?
I may be too young to marry but not to hide an aching heart

(Johnny, you're too young)
But I'm gonna get married
(You're so young)
My name she'll carry
(You're too young, and Johnny, you're so smart)
But not smart enough to hide an aching heart

How come every time she kisses me, it thrills me from head to toe?
How come every time I see her, it lifts me right off the floor?
How come every time I'm with her she whispers so soft and low?
It makes me want to jump and holler and bump my head into a door

(Johnny, you're too young)
But I'm gonna get married
(You're so young)
My name she'll carry
(You're too young, and Johnny, you're so smart)
But not smart enough to hide an aching heart

(Too young)
But I'm gonna get married
(You're so young)
My name she'll carry
(You're too young)
But I'm gonna get married
(You're so young)
My name she'll carry
(You're too young)

Every Breath You Take


Every Breath You Take
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): The Police



Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you say
I'll be watching you

O can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please

O can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every breath you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake

Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

I'm Gonna Get Lit Up (When The Lights Go On In London)


I'm Gonna Get Lit Up (When The Lights Go On In London)
Composer(s): Hubert Gregg
Performer(s): Carroll Gibbons; Joe Loss & His Orch.



I'm gonna get lit up when the light go up in London
I'm gonna get lit up as I've never been before
You will find me on the tiles
You will find me wreathed in smiles
I'm gonna get so lit up I'll be visible for miles
The city will sit up when the lights go up in London
We'll all be lit up as the Strand was only more, much more
And before the plot is played out
They will fetch the fire brigade out
To the lit-est up-est scene you ever saw
