When I Touch You
When I Touch You
Composer(s): Jay Ferguson
Performer(s): Spirit
Often in my dreams
I see the strangest things
I see the mountains rise
I see them touch the skies
When I'm near to you
I feel the same way too
I feel the mountains rise
I feel them touch the skies
I, I won't see you any more
I, I won't see you any
I will not see you any
more....More....More
And when I touch you
I feel the same way too
I feel the mountains rise
I feel them touch the skies
Your love holds all these keys
Why can 't I be free
From thoughts of bitter rage
White lions in their cage
I, I won't see you any more
I, I won't see you any
I will not see you any
more....More....More
When I touch you
When I touch you
Ahaa....Ahaa....
Mmmmm....Mmmmm....
Mmmmm....Mmmmm

Ain't Got No Gal In This Town
Composer(s): Greer - J. Russel Robinson
Performer(s): Cab Calloway
Poor me, I ain't got a gal in this town
All of them turned me down
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town
Eee-eee-eee...
All yellows and browns
All of them turned me down
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town
Boo-hoo, you hear my mournful wail
I even looked in jail
For a familiar frail
Oooh-doo, you, you, you got me down
Stop your dragging me 'round
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town
I've got a million gals in Memphis
I've got a gal way out in Saint Paul
I took my hat and left them flat
'Cause they couldn't kick the gong
Poor me, I ain't got a gal in this town
All of them turned me down
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town
Eee-eee-eee...
All yellows and browns
All of them turned me down
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town
Boo-hoo, you hear my mournful wail
I even looked in jail
For a familiar frail
Oooh-doo, you, you, you got me down
Stop your dragging me 'round
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town

When I Take My Sugar To Tea
When I Take My Sugar To Tea
Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Irving Kahal; Pierre Norman Connor
Performer(s): Leon Redbone
I'm just a little "Jackie Horner"
since I met my sugar cane
That gang of mine has been revealin'
that they're feelin' sore
I left the lamp light on the corner
for the moon in lover's lane
I'm doing things I never did before
When I take my sugar to tea, all the
boys are jealous of me, 'cause I
never take her where the gang goes
When I take my sugar to tea
I'm a rowdy dowdy, that's me
She's a high hat baby, that's she
So I never take her where the gang goes
When I take my sugar to tea
Ev'ry Sunday afternoon
we forget about our cares
rubbing elbows at the Ritz
with those millionaires
When I take my sugar to tea
I'm as Ritzy as can be
'cause I never take her where the gang goes
When I take my sugar to tea

Ain't Gonna Lie
Ain't Gonna Lie
Composer(s): George Fischoff - Tony Powers
Performer(s): Keith; David Garrick
Ain't gonna lie
That's one thing
You and I could never see
So as we kiss goodbye
If I cry don't let these
Tears I shed today
Hold you back in any way
He's waiting for your smile so hurry
I'll be fine now don't you worry
Ain't gonna lie
If you say he's the guy
I won't stand in your way
Though it hurts me today
I'll get by
And I ain't gonna lie
Ain't gonna lie
Baby don't cry
Though my heart is breaking
I'm glad that you
Told the truth
Instead of some
Pack of lies
To us a lie's the only sin
At least we'll end the way we've been
By being truthful to each other
Girl I hope I find another
Ain't gonna lie
I'll be out by and by
Maybe I'll never meet
Anyone half as sweet
But I'll try
And I ain't gonna lie
To us a lie is the only sin
At least we'll end the way we've been
By being truthful to each other
Girl I hope I find another
Ain't gonna lie
Maybe I'll never meet
Anyone half as sweet
But I'll try
And I ain't gonna lie
I ain't gonna lie
No I ain't gonna lie...

When I Take My Morning Promenade
When I Take My Morning Promenade
Composer(s): A.J. Mills; Bennett Scott
Performer(s): Marie Lloyd; Patricia Rowlands
Since Mother Eve in the Garden long ago
Started the fashion, fashion's been a passion
Eve wore a costume we might describe as brief
Still every season brought its change of leaf
She'd stare if she could come to town
Oh! what would Mother Eve think of my new Parisian gown?
When I take my morning promenade
Quite a fashion card, on the Promenade
Oh! I don't mind nice boys staring hard
If it satisfies their desire
Do you think my dress is a little bit
Just a little bit.....
Well not too much of it
Though it shows my shape just a little bit
That's the little bit the boys admire
Fancy the girls in the prehistoric days
Each wore a bearskin covering her fair skin
Lately Salome has charmed us to be sure
Wearing some rows of beads and not much more
Fancy my dressing like that, too
The 'Daily Mirror' man would surely want an interview
When I take my morning promenade
Quite a fashion card, on the Promenade
Oh! I don't mind nice boys staring hard
If it satisfies their desire
Do you think my dress is a little bit
Just a little bit.....
Well not too much of it
Though it shows my shape just a little bit
That's the little bit the boys admire
I've heard my Grandmother wore the crinoline
Then came the bussle
Oh! it was a tussle
Women were tied up and loaded up with dress
Now, fashion plates decree we must wear less
Each year our costume grows more brief
I wonder when we'll get back to the good old fashioned leaf?
When I take my morning promenade
Quite a fashion card, on the Promenade
Oh! I don't mind nice boys staring hard
If it satisfies their desire
Do you think my dress is a little bit
Just a little bit.....
Well not too much of it
Though it shows my shape just a little bit
That's the little bit the boys admire

Ain't Gonna Grieve
Performer(s): Bob Dylan
Well, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
And ain't a-gonna grieve no more
Come on brother, join the band
Come on sisters, clap your hands
Tell everybody that's in the land
You ain't a-gonna grieve no more
Well, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
And ain't a-gonna grieve no more
Brown and blue and white and black
All one color on the one-way track
We got this far and ain't a-goin' back
And ain't a-gonna grieve no more
Well, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
I ain't a-gonna grieve no more
We're gonna notify your next of kin
You're gonna raise the roof until the house falls in
If you get knocked down get up again
We ain't a-gonna grieve no more
Well, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
I ain't a-gonna grieve no more
We'll sing this song all night long
Sing it to my baby from midnight on
She'll sing it to you when I'm dead and gone
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more
Well, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
I ain't a-gonna grieve no more

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

And when the rain is falling, I don't feel it
Cause you're here with me now

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
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
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
