When I Stop Loving You


When I Stop Loving You
Composer(s): Joseph Elias
Performer(s): Paul Anka



When I stop loving you, baby
That'll be the day
That'll be the day
When I stop loving you, baby
That'll be the day
That'll be the day

The day the world stops going 'round
And today my heartbeat starts to pound
When I stop loving you, baby
That'll be the day

When you stop loving me, baby
That'll be the day
When you stop loving me, baby
That'll be the day

The day my heart would ache and break
The day there'd be no wedding cake
When you stop loving me, baby
That'll be the day
That'll be the day

Yes, I'll stop loving you
I'll say that we're through
When earth and skies disappear
But just as long as there's an earth
And as long as there's a sky
I'll always love you dear

If you should say goodbye, baby
That'll be the day
That'll be the day

If you should say goodbye, baby
That'll be the day
That'll be the day

The day that tear drops from my eyes
It fell like raindrops from the skies
If you should say goodbye, baby
That'll be the day
That'll be the day

Yes, I'll stop loving you
I'll say that we're through
When earth and skies disappear
But just as long as there's an earth
And as long as there's a sky
I'll always love you dear

If you should say goodbye, baby
That'll be the day
That'll be the day

If you should say goodbye, baby
That'll be the day
That'll be the day

The day that tear drops from my eyes
It fell like raindrops from the skies
If you should say goodbye, baby
That'll be the day
That'll be the day
That'll be the day
That'll be the day

Ain't Gonna Cry No More


Ain't Gonna Cry No More
Composer(s): David Coverdale - Micky Moody
Performer(s): Whitesnake; The Company of Snakes; M3



Rising with the morning sun
I turn to greet the dawn
Knowing I must face another day
Sleepless night behind me
Just a memory of pain
My heart has always
been a cross to bear
Lord I know the sunshine
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try, hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
All around me, shadows fall
Tho' day has just begun
I realise I'm on my own again
Memories of broken dreams
As distant as the sun
Are drifting like an echo in the wind
Lord, I know the sunshine
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try, hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
Babe, I thought about it
But, it just ain't done good
You hold my heart and
soul within your hand
All the time, you're in my mind
I never thought you could be so blind
Maybe someday I will understand
Lord, I know the sun shine
But I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today, no more
Hey, mama you drive me crazy
Knowing you're my heart's desire
Why'd you go and hang me up this way
You've given me love, given me love
Now tell me what you were thinking of
Why'd you go and steal my soul away
Lord I know the sunshine
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
I ain't gonna cry no more

Lord I know the sunshine
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
Ain't gonna cry no more
Hey, I ain't gonna cry no more today...

When I Stop Dreaming


When I Stop Dreaming
Composer(s): Ira Louvin; Charlie Louvin
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris;
and various other artists



The worst that I've ever been hurt
In my life
The first time I ever have
Wanted to die
Was the night when you told me
You loved someone new
And you asked me if I could forget

When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you

You may teach the flowers
To bloom in the snow
You may take a pebble
And teach it to grow
You may teach all the raindrops
To return to the clouds
But you can't teach my heart
To forget

Performer(s): Joe Tex
and multiple other artists



Three nights ago
I was at a disco
Man, I wanted to bump
I was rarin' to go
And this big fat woman
Bumped me on the floor
She was rarin' to go
That chick was rarin' to go
Then she did a dip
Almost broke my hip
She was gettin' down
That chick was gettin' down
She wanted to bump some more
But I told her, "No!"
You done knocked me down once
You done knocked me down once
Said if you want to dance
Find you a big fat man
Y'all both can get on down
Y'all both can get on down
Huh!

I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
Lord, I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman

Somebody take her
She's too big for me
She'll knock me down

She came over to me
Snatched me out of my seat
She wanted to get on down
Still wanted to get on down
I told her to go on
And leave me alone
I ain't gettin' down
You done hurt my hip once
I know what you'll do
I ain't gonna bump with you!
I don't feel like gettin' down
Don't feel like gettin' down
She just shook her head
At every word I said
She wanted to get on down
That woman wanted to get on down
She did that dip again
And I hit the floor again
She was gettin' down, Lord
That woman was gettin' down

I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
Aahh, I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman

Somebody take her
I don't want her
She done hurt my hip
She done knocked me down
Done hurt my hip
She done knocked me down
Somebody take her
I don't want her
Say Leroy! You can have this one, dude
This big fat woman, dude

When I See You Smile
Composer(s): Diane Warren
Performer(s): Ringo Starr;
and various other artists



Sometimes I wonder If I'd ever make it through
Through this world without having in you
I just wouldn't have a clue

'Cause sometimes it seems like this world's closing in on me
And there's no way of breaking free
and then I see you reach for me

Sometimes I wanna give up wanna give in
I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you baby
and everything's alright, everything's alright

When I see you smile I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything
When I see you smile I see a ray of light
Oh I see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile
Baby when I see you smile at me

Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do
What the touch of your hand can do
It's like nothing that I ever knew

And when the rain is falling, I don't feel it
Cause you're here with me now
I wanna ask you baby
It's all I¹ll ever need, All I'll ever need

When I see you smile I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything
When I see you smile I see a ray of light
Oh I see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile baby
Baby when I see you smile at me

Sometimes I wanna give up I wanna give in
I wanna quit the fight
Then one look at you baby
And everything's alright
Hey everything's alright
It's alright

When I see you smile I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything
When I see you smile I see a ray of light
Oh I see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile Yeah I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything now

When I see you smile Oh yeah
Baby when I see you smile
Smile at me

When I See An Elephant Fly


When I See An Elephant Fly
Composer(s): Oliver Wallace; Ned Livingston
Performer(s): Cliff Edwards;
and various other artists



I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band
I saw a needle that winked its eye
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an elephant fly

I saw a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring
I saw a polka-dot railroad tie
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an elephant fly

I seen a clothes horse he r'ar up and buck
And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck
I didn't see that I only heard
But just to be sociable
I'll take your word
I heard a fireside chat
I saw a baseball bat
And I just laughed till I thought I'd die
But I'd been done seen about everything
When I see an elephant fly

I even heard a chocolate drop
I went into a store, saw a bicycle shop
You can't deny the things you see
but I know there's certain things that just can't be
The other day by chance, saw an old barn dance
And I just laughed til I thought I'd die
But I think I will have seen everything when I see an elephant fly

Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up on Love


Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up on Love
Composer(s): Stevie Ray Vaughan
Performer(s): Stevie Ray Vaughan
and multiple other artists



I ain't gonna give up on love
Love ain't gonna give up on me
I ain't gonna give up on love
Love ain't gonna give up on me
Every tear I cried
Only washed away the fear inside
I just ain't gonna give up on love

Every beat of my heart
Pounds with joy and not with pain
Every beat of my heart
Pounds with joy and not with pain
All those painful memories
They only brought me to my knees
'Cause I was giving up on love

Little Johnny Taylor told me so, so long ago
All about the midnight crying, oh lord
All the cheating and lying
And about the price that must be paid
'Cause if we gave up on love
Well, love will surely have its day
If we don't give up on love

I ain't gonna give up on love
Love ain't gonna give up on me
I ain't gonna give up on love
Love ain't gonna give up on me
Every time I try
Lord, it just won't let me be

When I Saw You


When I Saw You
Composer(s): Phil Spector
Performer(s): The Ronettes



When I saw you, that's when I knew
I'd lose my mind over you

When I held you, that's when I knew
I'd lose my mind over you

When I saw you, I realized somethin'
I didn't realize
You've got somethin', you've got somethin'
That makes me say "Child, child, child"

When I saw you, that's when I knew
I'd lose my mind, lose my mind
I'd lose my mind over you

Ain't Going Down


Ain't Going Down
Composer(s): Eric Clapton
Performer(s): Eric Clapton



It ain't no big deal, we're all lucky to be alive
I myself don't believe in luck, or taking chances I will survive
Every move I make, every twist and every turn
You scandalize and humble me, I may be slow but I will learn

'Cause I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore

If I had my way, I would probably just sit and stare
Watch the TV or read a book, I'd have no reason to be aware
But I ain't got time, I just could not live that way
I've got to step outside myself, I've still got something left to say

I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore

'Cause I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore
No I ain't going down anymore

Channeled in my groove, part of another space and time
Please allow me to introduce another very good friend of mine
Some call him fear, some call him righteousness
I myself ain't clear and you can't force me to make a guess

When I Saw Sweet Nellie Home


When I Saw Sweet Nellie Home
(aka "I Was Seeing Nellie Home" or ""Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party"
Composer(s): John Fletcher; Frances Kyle
Performer(s): Lester Flatt;
and various other artists



In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight fell
Hush'd the sound of daylight bustle
Closed the pink eyed pimpernell
As adown the moss grown wood path
Where the cattle love to roam
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight shone
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

When the autumn tinged the greenwood
Turning all its leaves to the gold
In the lawn by elders shaded
I my love to Nellie told
As we stood together gazing
On the star bespangled dome
How I blessed the august evening
When I saw sweet Nellie home

In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight shone
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

White hairs mingled with my tresses
Furrows steal upon my brow
But a love smile cheers and blesses
Life's declining moments now
Matron in the snowy kerchief
Closer to my bosom come
Tell me do'st thou still remember
When I saw sweet Nellie home

In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight shone
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

Ain't Even Done With The Night


Ain't Even Done With The Night
Composer(s): John Cougar Mellencamp
Performer(s): John Mellencamp
and multiple other artists



Well, our hearts beat like thunder
I don't know why they don't explode
You got your hands in my back pockets
And Sam Cooke's singin' on the radio
You say that I'm the boy who can make it all come true
Well, I'm tellin' ya that I don't know if I know what to do

You say that's all right, hold tight
Well, I don't even know if I'm doin' this right
Well all right, hold tight
We can stay out all day or we can run around all night
Well all night, all night

Well, it's time to go home
And I ain't even done with the night

Well, I don't know no good come-ons
And I don't know no cool lines
I feel the heat of your frustration
I know it's burnin' you up deep down inside
You say that I"m the boy who can make it all come true
Well, I'm tellin' ya that I don't know if I know what to do

You say that's all right, hold tight
Well, I don't even know if I'm doin' this right
Well all right, hold tight
We can stay out all day or we can run around all night
Well all night, all night

When I Said I Do


When I Said I Do
Composer(s): Clint Black
Performer(s): Clint Black;
and various other artists



These times are troubled and these times are good
And they’re always gonna be, they rise and they fall
We take ’em all the way that we should
Together you and me forsaking them all
Deep in the night and by the light of day
It always looks the same, true love always does
And here by your side, or a million miles away
Nothin’s ever gonna change the way that I feel
The way it is, is the way that it was

When I said I do, I meant that I will ’til the end of all time
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
That’s what I had in mind when I said I do

Well this old world keeps changin’, and the world stays the same
For all who came before, and it goes hand and hand
Only you and I can undo all that we became
That makes us so much more, than a woman and a man
And after everything that comes and goes around
Has only passed us by, here alone in our dreams
I know there’s a lonely heart in every lost and found
But forever you and I will be the ones
Who found out what forever means

When I said I do, I meant that I will ’til the end of all time
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
That’s what I had in mind when I said I do
Truer than true, you know that I’ll always be there for you
That’s what I had in mind, that’s what I had in mind
When I said I do

Ain't Even Close


Ain't Even Close
Composer(s): J. Brown - D.J. Brown - Duane Roland - R. West
Performer(s): Molly Hatchet



Oh yea!!!!
Well I’ve had my share of lovers
And I’m damn sure I had it all
If I had to count the times I’ve broken through
I couldn’t even count ’em all
But now your telling folks you’ve got me
Into thinking that your the most
But if your planning on the future, honey
You ain’t even close..nooo

I’ve learned to take the punches
And I’ve bet down on my chips
I’ve learned to shoot
Straight little darlin’
Straight from the hip
So baby save yourself some trouble
Putting your world in my hand
You know I’ll never settle down
I’m just ain’t that kind of man.

No more, I’ve been stood up, knocked down
And had my time to boast
But if your thinkin’ that you got this old boy
Honey, no you ain’t even close
Oh no baby

No more, I’ve been stood up, knocked down
And had my time to boast
But if your thinkin’ that you got this old boy
Honey, no you ain’t even close
No you ain’t even close
Oh see that light and feel the thunder, listen to it rain
You know the time
The time I wonder
If it’s calling out my name
If I know anything about you baby
But this is what I’ve got to say
If I got to make the change with you
Then I have to be on my way

No more, I’ve been stood up, knocked down
And had my time to boast
But if your thinkin’ that you got this old boy
Hell
I said no, I’ve been stood up, knocked down
And had my time to boast
But if your thinkin’ that you got this old boy by the hammer, honey
No you ain’t even close
No you ain’t even close
No no no
You ain’t even close
No..........

When I Paint My Masterpiece


When I Paint My Masterpiece
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan;
and various other artists



Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble
Ancient footprints are everywhere
You can almost think that you're seein' double
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room
Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece
She promised that she'd be right there with me
When I paint my masterpiece

Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum
Dodging lions and wastin' time
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em
Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece

Sailin' 'round the world in a dirty gondola
Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!

I left Rome and landed in Brussels
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside
Newspapermen eating candy
Had to be held down by big police
Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent
When I paint my masterpiece

Ainsley's Song
Composer(s): Cyril Jordan
Performer(s): The Flamin' Groovies



I'm all in my head
I been so far away
And all of my friends
Don't believe what I say
It's happened again
Just like yesterday
And you know it won't be long
It just goes on and on
Always singin' Ainsley's song
Saw your face again
And I thought about the times
Oh that we had
They're always on my mind
So very long ago
Way back in the past
And now that I'm old
I didn't know what I had
And you know it won't be long
It just goes on and on
Always singin' Ainsley's song
Ainsley's song
Can't be in your arms
I just have to turn away
It does so much harm
If I try to stay
This name in my head
It just won't go away
And all that I said
Goes on from day to day
And you know it won't be long
It just goes on and on
Always singin' Ainsley's song

When I Need You


When I Need You
Composer(s): Albert Hammond; Carole Bayer Sager
Performer(s): Leo Sayer;
and various other artists



When I need you
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heart beat away

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I wont be traveling for ever
It's cold out, but hold out and do like I do

When I need you
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you babe
It's only a heart beat away

It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey, that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do
Oh I need you

When I need you
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

When I need you
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heart beat away

Aimless Lady


Aimless Lady
Composer(s): Mark Farner
Performer(s): Grand Funk Railroad; Suck; Pat Travers



Aimless lady, is this your home town?
Tell me baby, tell me where you're bound
When our eyes met, you were in the very first row
I couldn't even guess your name, but I just had to know

You were meant for me, would you grab your coat and flee?
You were a mystery, but you just had to be ...
An aimless lady
Aimless lady
Aimless lady

Should I try, and satisfy, you lady?
Ain't no lie, now we'll get by, my baby
If you can stand, a real good man, now lady
Take my hand, and understand, me baby

Take your time, you're doing fine, now lady
You got yours, and I got mine, now baby
Can you see, the way to be, now lady
Stay with me, and set me free, now baby

Aimless lady
Aimless lady
Aimless lady

You're mine aimless lady
Yeah, aimless lady
You're mine aimless lady
Mine, aimless lady
Oooo ...

When I Met You


When I Met You
Composer(s): Jim Paredes
Performer(s): Martin Nievera;
and various other artists



There I was
An empty piece of a shell
Just minding my own world
Without even knowing
What love and life is all about

Then you came
You brought me out of a shell
You gave the world to me
And before I knew it
There I was in love with you

Refrain
You gave me the reason for my being
And I love what I'm feeling
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I'm gone beyond existing
And it all began, when I met you...

I love the touch of your hair
And when I look in your eyes
I just know
I know I'm on to something good

And I'm sure
My love for you will endure
Your love will light up my world
And take care all my cares
Away where they can't bother me

(Repeat Refrain)

Chorus
You taught me how to love
You showed me a tomorrow and today my love
That's diferrent from the yesterday I knew
You taught me to love and darling I will always
Cherish you today, tomorrow and forever

And I'm sure when the evening comes around
I know we'll be making love like never before
My love who could ask for more

(Repeat Refrain)

.....................when I met you

(Repeat Refrain)

When I met you
