After the lights go down low, baby, you know
there'll be no reason for teasin' me so
And when the dancin' is thru and folks will be few
I'll be here sittin' with no one but you
and I'll be needin you so after the lights go down low
I wanna hold you, squeeze you as tight as I can
I'd like to kiss you, please you and make you understand
and when you thrill me, you fill me with love so divine
Together we can have a good time
After the lights go down low, baby, you know

And we can cuddle up near wihout any fear
'cause I've got some sweet talk that you want to hear
and I'll be needin' you so after the lights go down low
After the lights go down low, baby, you know

What?
What?
Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
Performer(s): The Move
What is that strange air in the sky
Why should a strange star pass me by
How can you congratulate the people who destroyed the piece of mind
the silly people just like you and better too
How can you keep turning when the overture is burning on the faces
of the people in the churches of the land
That's all a way that I cut from the lives
The day has come at last
People that cry in the boulevard
Their eyes are blind they cry so hard
How can you congratulate the people who destroyed the piece of mind
the silly people just like you and better too
How can you keep turning when the overture is burning on the faces
of the people in the churches of the land
That's all it seems, there is only one dream
The day has come at last
That's all it seems, there is only one dream
The day has come at last
What you have done makes me ashamed
I'll blow it up and start again
How can you congratulate the people who destroyed the piece of mind
the silly people just like you and better too
How can you keep turning when the overture is burning in the faces
of the people in the churches of the land
That's all it seems, there is only one dream
The day has come at last

After The Gold Rush
After The Gold Rush
Composer(s): Neil Young
First release by: Neil Young - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming
Saying something about a queen
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun
They were flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home

What You Leave Behind
What You Leave Behind
Composer(s): Brad Delp; Barry Goudreau
Performer(s): Delp & Goudreau; RTZ
It's a constant revelation
Ever changing over time
As we chart our destination
Take our places on the line
Were we put here for a reason
Part of someone's grand design
Or does the answer come from living
Taking one step at a time
And we build on our traditions
Taking hope in what we find
And we strengthen our positions
On what's been left behind
It's a constant education
In a world of give and take
Along the way sometimes we stumble
But we learn from our mistakes
Always looking for an answer
To find the reason in the rhyme
There's a million burning questions
And we keep looking for a sign
And some call on intuition
Some call on the divine
In the end it doesn't matter
It's what you leave behind
And some call on inner vision
Some call on the divine
No matter what the inspiration
There's always something on the line
So don't squander what you're given
Make the most of precious time
Life's not only for the living
It's what you leave behind

After The Glitter Fades
After The Glitter Fades
Composer(s): Stevie Nicks
Performer(s): Glen Campbell; Stevie Nicks
Well I never thought I'd make it
Here in Hollywood...
I never thought I'd ever
Want to stay...
What I seem to touch these days
Has turned to gold...
What I seem to want
Well you know I'll find a way
For me...it's the only life
That I've ever known
And love is only one...
Fine star...away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies...
It's alright...
The feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
The loneliness of a one night stand
Is hard to take
We all chase something
And maybe this is a dream
The timeless face of a rock and roll
Woman...while her heart breaks
Oh you know...the dream keeps coming
Even when you forget to feel
For me...it's the only life...
That I've ever know
And love is only one...fine star away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies...
It's alright...
The feeling remains...
Even after the glitter fades
For me...it's the only life
That I've ever known
And love is only one fine star away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies
It's alright...
The feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
Oh you know...the feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
Oh the feeling remains...
Even after the glitter...fades

After The Fox
After The Fox
Composer(s): Hal David - Burt Bacharach
First release by: The Hollies & Peter Sellers - 1966
Who is the fox - I am the fox
Who are you - I am me
Who is me - Me is a thief
You'll bring your poor, poor mother grief
So after the fox, after the fox
Off to the hunt with chains and locks
So after the fox, after the fox
Someone is always chasing after the fox
Where is the gold - It's on the truck
Where's the truck - I won't tell
You must tell - Then I will lie
You'll make your poor, poor sister cry
So after the fox, after the fox
Off to the hunt with chains and locks
So after the fox, after the fox
Someone is always chasing after the fox
Why do you steal - So I'll be rich
Why not work - Work is hard
You'll be caught - I never fail
All little crooks wind up in jail - Not me not me
So after the fox, after the fox
Off to the hunt with chains and locks
So after the fox, after the fox
Someone is always chasing after the fox
After the fox
After the fox
After the fox

What Would I Be?
What Would I Be?
Composer(s): Jackie Trent
Performer(s): Petula Clark; Val Doonican
The angry voices raised in vain
The feeling deep inside of pain
Sometimes I think it's not worthwhile
Until once more I see you smile
What would I be without your love I'll never know
If I were free what could I do where would I go
I'm only me and I love you so
Unspoken thoughts we both regret
Forgive the past but can't forget
Sometimes I just don't understand
Until once more I hold your hand
What would I be without your love I'll never know
If I were free what could I do where would I go
I'm only me and I love you so
Sometimes it seems I can't go on
Sometimes it feels that everything we had is gone
But though there may be many tears
We'll stay together through the years
You only have to love me too
And I need no one else but you
What would I be without your love I'll never know
If I were free what could I do where would I go
I'm only me and I love you so
What would I be without your love I'll never know
If I were free what could I do where would I go
I'm only me and I love you so

After The Fire Is Gone
Composer(s): L.E. White
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn
and multiple other artists
Love is where you find it
When you find no love at home
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone
The bottle is almost empty
The clock just now struck ten
Darlin' I had to call you
To our favorite place again
We know it's wrong for us to meet
But the fire's gone out at home
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone
Love is where you find it
When you find no love at home
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone
Your lips are warm and tender
Your arms hold me just right
Sweet words of love you remember
That the one at home forgot
Each time we say is the last time
But we keep hangin' on
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone
Love is find it
When you find no love at home
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone

What Will I Do Without You
Composer(s): Leon Russell
Performer(s): Leon Russell
I want to sing you this sad song
And I just want you to know
That this music that you hear is just for you
And when you hear this melody
Just know it's you I'm talking to
And tell me what will I do without you?
Oh, darlin', please don't judge me
Just remember when you loved me
Before you broke my heart and went away
Now what can I say in my defense
Where you would believe it's true
Well tell me, what will I do without you?
Darlin', it's so hard to forget you
With all this pain inside my heart
I remember the night I met you
I'm wondering why we're so far apart?
Oh, darlin', please don't judge me
Just remember when you loved me
Before you broke my heart and went away
Now what can I say in my defense
Where you would believe it's true
Well, tell me, what will I do without you?
Yes, tell me what will I do without you?

After The Fall
After The Fall
Composer(s): Steve Perry - Jonathan Cain
Performer(s): Journey
So now love is gone
And I can't go on
Love is gone
I want to say - now it's just to late
Waited far too long
Should'a told you then I knew
Should'a told you right from the start - yeah
But the words didn't come out right
So I'll tell you straight from my heart
You meant more to me
Then I let you see
You held on somehow
All your tenderness and your sweet caress
I miss you now
But a head strong stubborn man
Only works it out the best he can
Valentines he never sent
There's not enough time he's a working man
Can't stop falling
Heartaches calling
Finds you after the fall
Saints or sinners
Take no prisoners
What's left - after you fall
No not much no
I said love is gone
I can't go on
Now love is gone
I want to say but it's just too late
Waited far too long
Should'a told you then I knew
Should'a told you right from the start - yeah
But the words didn't come out right
So I'll tell you straight from my heart
Can't stop falling
Heartaches calling
Finds you after the fall
Saints or sinners
Take no prisoners
What's left - after you fall
No not much no
Oh no not much
After the fall
After you fall
After you - fall

Performer(s): Buddy Holly;
and various other artists
What to do now that she doesn’t want me
That’s what haunts me - what to do
What to do to keep from feeling lonely

The soda shop - the walks to school now make me sad, oh
What to do - I know my heartache’s showing
Still not knowing - what to do
The record hops & all the happy times we had
The soda shop - the walks to school now make me sad, oh

After The Ball
After The Ball
Composer(s): Charles K. Harris
Performer(s): J. Aldrich Libbey
and multiple other artists
A little maiden climbed an old man's knee
Begged for a story, "Do, Uncle, please"
Why are you single; Why live alone?
Have you no babies, have you no home?"
"I had a sweetheart, years, years ago
Where she is now, pet, you soon will know
List to the story, I'll tell it all
I believed her faithless, after the Ball"
After the ball is over
After the break of dawn
After the dancer's leaving
After the stars are gone
Many a heart is aching
If you could read them all
Many the hopes that have vanished
After the ball
Bright lights were flashing in the grand ballroom
Softly the music, playing sweet tunes
There came my sweetheart, my love, my own
I wished some water, left her alone
When I returned, dear, there stood a man
Kissing my sweetheart, as lovers can
Down fell the glass, pet, broken that's all
Just as my heart was, after the ball
After the ball is over
After the break of dawn
After the dancer's leaving
After the stars are gone
Many a heart is aching
If you could read them all
Many the hopes that have vanished
After the ball
Long years have passed, child, I've never wed
True to my lost love, though she is dead
She tried to tell me, tried to explain
I would not listen, pleadings were in vain
One day a letter came from that man
He was her brother, the letter ran
That's why I'm lonely, not home at all
I broke her heart
After the ball
After the ball is over
After the break of dawn
After the dancer's leaving
After the stars are gone
Many a heart is aching
If you could read them all
Many the hopes that have vanished
After the ball
After the ball is over
After the break of dawn
After the dancer's leaving
After the stars are gone
Many a heart is aching
If you could read them all
Many the hopes that have vanished
After the ball

What The World Needs Now
What The World Needs Now
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
What the world needs now
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just too little of
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No not just for some
But for everyone
Lord, we don't need
Another mountain
There are mountains
And hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans
And rivers enough to cross
Enough to last
Till the end of time
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just too little of
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No, not just for some
But for everyone
Lord, we don't need
Another meadow
There are cornfields
And wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams
And moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, lord
If you want to know
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just too little of
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No, not just for some
But for everyone
No, not just for some
Oh, but just for everyone

After School
After School
Composer(s): Warren Nadel - Dick Wolf
Performer(s): Teresa Brewer; Randy Starr
Yesterday I waited for you
At the corner candy store
The way I always do
The hours passed, the gang went home
I was left there all alone
Waiting just for you
After school waiting for you
Am I a fool to wait for you the way I do
After school
I wonder if it could be true
That you had found somebody new
To take the place I've known
Finally, it got so late
I saw I was a fool to wait
So I walked home alone
After school waiting for you
Am I a fool to wait for you the way I do
After school
Here I am just like before
Waiting at the candy store
The way I always do
Will it be him/her, will it be me
I'm wondering who it will be
Walking home with you
After school waiting for you
Am I a fool to wait for you the way I do
After school

What The Well-Dressed Man In Harlem Will Wear
What The Well-Dressed Man In Harlem Will Wear
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): James Cross
There's a change in fashion that shows
In those Lennox Avenue clothes
Mister Dude has disappeared with his flashy tie
You'll see in the Harlem Esquire
What the well-dressed man will desire
When he's struttin' down the street with his sweetie-pie
Sun tan
Shade of green
Or an olive drab color scheme
That's what the well-dressed man in Harlem will wear
Dressed up
In O.D.'s
With a tin hat for overseas
That's what the well-dressed man in Harlem will wear
Top hat, white tie and tails no more
They've been put away till after the war
If you
Want to know
Take a look at Brown Bomber Joe
That's what the well-dressed man in Harlem will wear

I laughed the day I saw you leave, I laughed and said Id never grieve
But now after my laughter came tears (after my laughter came tears)

But say now after my laughter came tears
My cryin' helped me from showin' them that I was blue (listen)
By myself you'll never know what I've been through (just what I'm goin' through)
My lips conceal a hurtin' pain, I make believe but all in vain
I said now after my ...
My cryin' helped me from showin' them that I was blue (listen)
My lips conceal a hurtin' pain, I make believe but all in vain

What The Hell
What The Hell
Composer(s): Terry Cashman; Gene Pistilli; Tommy West
Performer(s): Jim Croce & Ingrid Croce
Oh my room will always have some people
You see Johnny Carson is a friend of mine
And my music box will always play me something
If something's what I need to ease my mind
Take what you want
I'll feel much better
Don't hang around
Till I get myself together
You can leave those pieces right there where they fell
Someone else will come along and pick 'em up
Say what the hell
If I don't see you in the morning
Guess the sun might come up anyway
And without you here to love and stand beside me
Guess I just might make it through the day
If you should call from time to time
Don't be surprised
If the voice that answers ain't mine
'Cause you left the pieces right there where they fell
Someone else just came along and picked 'em up
Say what the hell
If you should call from time to time
Don't be surprised
If the voice that answers ain't mine
'Cause you left those pieces right there where they fell
Someone else just came along and picked 'em up
Say what the hell
If she don't love me come tomorrow
If you can't get what you want, want what you got
And I won't be drugged with words like joy and sorrow
I won't feel one way or the other
Like as not
I'll soon forget you
Leave my life
Guess you thought I'd never let you
'Cause you left those pieces right there where they fell
Someone else just came along and picked 'em up
Say what the hell
