I Cross My Heart


I Cross My Heart
Composer(s): Eric Kaz; Steve Dorff
First release by: George Strait - 1992
Covered by multiple other artists



Our love is unconditional
We knew it from the start
I can see it in your eyes
You can feel it from my heart
From here on after
Let's stay the way we are right now
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow

I cross my heart
And promise to
Give all I've got to give
To make all your dreams come true
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine

You will always be the miracle
That makes my life complete
And as long as there's still breath in me
I'll make yours just as sweet
As we look into the future
It's as far as we can see
So let's make each tomorrow
Be the best that it can be

I cross my heart
And promise to
Give all I've got to give
To make all your dreams come true
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine

And if along the way we find a day
It starts to pour
You've got the promise of my love
To keep you warm

Jealous Loving Heart


Jealous Loving Heart
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Talmadge Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Hammerlock



Don’t ever kiss, no one but me
If you do Dear you’ll break my heart
It’s not because I doubt you but I’m such a fool about you
I’ve got a Jealous Lovin’ Heart

Cause where there’s love, there’s jealousy
Good and bad just won’t tear apart
They always go together like fair and stormy weather
I’ve got a Jealous Lovin’ Heart

You’re all I want, you’re all I love
Please don’t tear my soul apart
Just say you love me too Dear, and be careful what you do Dear
I’ve got a Jealous Lovin’ Heart

Don’t ever kiss, no one but me
If you do Dear you’ll break my heart
It’s not because I doubt you but I’m such a fool about you
I’ve got a Jealous Lovin’ Heart

To Cheat Or Not To Cheat


To Cheat Or Not To Cheat
Composer(s): Bobby Barker
Performer(s): Moe Bandy



While she watches the late show on the TV
I'm watchin' some girl I just met take down her hair
At home she's turnin' down the bed and fluffin' pillows
While I wonder will I stay here when I should be there

To cheat or not to cheat, that's the question
That's been runnin' through my mind all evenin' long
To cheat or not to cheat, what's the answer
Should I stay with her or should I go home

While she's standin' by the window watchin' for me
Another stands by me just two steps away
My mind can see her in the blue gown I bought for her
But my eyes are fixed on a see through negligee

To cheat or not to cheat, that's the question
That's been runnin' through my mind all evenin' long
To cheat or not to cheat, what's the answer
Should I stay with her or should I go home

While she makes another midnight pot of coffee
We're mixin' up just one last glass of gin
And before I even cheat I'm feelin' guilty
And gin can't dim these butterflies within

To cheat or not to cheat that's the question
That's been runnin' through my mind all evenin' long
To cheat or not to cheat what's the answer
Now I'm pullin' in my driveway here at home

I cross my fingers
Every time that you kiss me goodnight

Even though you are holding me tight

Still, I cross my fingers
Till you're mine, all mine

I cross my fingers
Every time that you kiss me goodnight
I cross my fingers

You say you love me
And, I know that's a very good sign

Fontaine Sisters:

Still, I cross my fingers
Till you're mine, all mine

Jealous Heart (Tex Ritter)


Jealous Heart
Composer(s): Jenny Lou Carson
Performer(s): Tex Ritter;
and various other artists



Jealous Heart, Oh, Jealous Heart stop beating
Can't you see the damage you have done
You have driven him/her away forever
Jealous Heart, now I'm the lonely one

I was part of ev'rything he/she planned for
And I know he/she loved me at the start
Now he/she hates the sight of all I stand for
All because of you, old Jealous Heart

Jealous Heart, why did I let you lead me
When I knew the end would bring me pain
Now he's/she's gone, he's/she's gone and found another
Oh, I'll never see my love again

Through the years his/her memory will haunt me
Even though we're many miles apart
It's so hard to know he'll/she'll never want me
'Cause he/she heard your beating Jealous Heart

Many times I trusted you to guide me
But your guiding only brought me tears
Why oh why must I have you inside me
Jealous Heart, for all my lonely years

I Cried For You


I Cried For You
Composer(s): Gus Arnheim; Arthur Freed; Abe Lyman
First release by: Benny Krueger & His Orch. (instrumental) - 1923
Covered by multiple other artists



I remember other days, how I used to weep
Over things you said to me, I couldn't even sleep
You forgot your promises ev'ry single vow
All you did was laugh at me but things are diff'rent now

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Ev'ry road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning

I cried for you
What a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found a heart just a little bit truer

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me

How can I forget the hours that I worried through
Wondering the live-long day just what next thing to do
In those days you never thought anything of me
But the slave that was all yours and now at last is free

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Ev'ry road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning

I cried for you
What a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found a heart just a little bit truer

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me

Jealous Heart (Dolly Parton)


Jealous Heart
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



Mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart

Sunny skies and a rosy bed
Thorns and storm clouds up ahead
'Cause suddenly the sky turns dark
For those of us with a jealous heart

Imagination runnin' wild
Like a frantic frightened child
Any time that we're apart
I can't control my jealous heart

And you know mine is a jealous heart
And every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you're cursed with a jealous heart

I love you more than words can tell
One day's heaven two days hell
Suspicious words like poison darts
Spoken from my jealous heart

Mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart

And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart
And every hurt, and every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you're cursed with a jealous heart

And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things, imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart

To Bobby


To Bobby
Composer(s): Joan Baez
Performer(s): Joan Baez



I'll put flowers at your feet
And I will sing to you so sweet
And hope my words will carry home to your heart
You left us marching on the road
And said how heavy was the load
The years were young, the struggle barely at its start

Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby
They're crying for you
See the children in the morning light, Bobby
They're dying

No one could say it like you said it
We'd only try and just forget it
You sood alone upon the mountain 'til it was sinking
And in a frenczy we tried to reach you
With looks and letters we would beseech you
Never knowing what, where or how you were thinking

Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby
They're crying for you
See the children in the morning light, Bobby
They're dying

Perhaps the pictures in the Times
Could no longer be put in rhymes
When all the eyes of starving children are wide open
You cast aside the cursed crown
And put your magic into a sound
That made me think your heart was aching, or even broken

But if God hears my complaint He will forgive you
And so will I, in all respect, I'll just relive you
And likewise you must understand the things we give you

Like these flowers at yur door
And scribbled notes about the war
We're only saying that time is short and there is work to do
And we're stilll marching on the streets
With little victories and big defeats
But there is joy, and there is hope, and there's a place for you

Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby
They're crying for you
See the children in the morning light, Bobby
They're dying

Performer(s): LaVern Baker
and multiple other artists



I cried a tear because of you
I cried a tear because we're through
I cried a tear what else could I do
But cry and sigh for love of you

I felt a tear fall in my heart
You fooled me so I wasn't smart
I can't believe that we must part
Come back to stay let's make a new start

I cried a tear because of you
I cried a tear because we're through
Please make my dream of you come true
Don't make me cry a tear for you
Don't make me cry a tear for you

Jealous Guy


Jealous Guy
Composer(s): John Lennon
Performer(s): John Lennon



I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy, watch out
I'm just a jealous guy, look out babe
I'm just a jealous guy

I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
Will the one I love
Be coming back to me?

I cover the waterfront
In search of my love
And I'm covered by
A starless sky above

Here am I
Patiently waiting
Hoping and longing
Oh! How I yearn!
Where are you?
Are you forgetting?
Do you remember?
Will you return?

I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
For the one I love
Must come back to me

To Be Your Man


To Be Your Man
Composer(s): Don Williams - Danny Flowers
Performer(s): Don Williams & Garth Fundis



Be my love, be my friend
Help me grow, help me bend
Understand, now and then, when I do wrong
It's for you that I try
I will live till the day I die
Giving all, all that I can
To be your man

High on a hill, standing alone
I'll tell the world everything I've loved
Raise my hand, testify
My love is real
When I laugh, when I cry
I would never, never lie
I'll do all, all that I can
To be your man

So, be my love, be my friend
Help me grow, help me bend
Understand, now and then, when I do wrong
Well it's for you that I try
I will live till the day I die
Giving all, all that I can
To be your man

When we're old, old and gray
And the children have moved away
And it's time, our time again, for being alone
Then you'll look, look and see
Love's been good to you and me
Understand, it's my plan
To be your man

So won't you be my love, be my friend
Help me grow, help me bend
Understand, now and then, when I do wrong
Well it's for you that I try
I will live till the day I die
Giving all, all that I can
To be your man

Jealous (Fleetwood Mac)


Jealous
Composer(s): Bob Welch
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac



It's easy to see why
'Cause I look in those green eyes
And I fall in love with her
All over again
Yeah, but this can be dangerous
'Cause those green eyes seem to say yes
So easily and to so many men

(chorus)

Well I know I've got a jealous heart
A jealous mind
But I'm trying to keep a hold of my girl

Now loving so caring
But sometimes she's daring
And those big green eyes
They set you up for a fall
Now I'm tryin' to keep her
But I just can't reach her
That with me it's all
Or nothing at all

(repeat chorus)

Love At Last You Have Found Me


Love At Last You Have Found Me
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Johnnie Worth
Performer(s): Liza Minnelli - 1966

Versions In Other Languages:
1959 - J'En Déduis Que Je T'Aime (Charles Aznavour)
1964 - Ne Deduco Che T'amo (Charles Aznavour)



Is it true what I feel
Is sunsine really rain
Is laughter really pain
Do flowers cry in sorrow
Do the rivers that flow
Turn salty by the sea
Bitter teardrops for me
Is life just one tomorrow

Love at last you have found me
Love at last you have found me

Does a kiss mean a fire
That never knows a flame
Does my heart play a game
By telling me I'm living
Are my words not my own
The stupid things I say
Like a child making play
I don't know what I'm giving

Love at last you have found me
Love at last you have found me, but

Now the storm begins
The wild, exotic wind
Soft words caressed with pain
Sweet smiles that hide a look of shame
Madness in our sighs
Then fickle tears and rice
But I will face it all
To look into your eyes

You have conquered my soul
And taken me away
Blindly groping my way
Not knowing, never caring
In the stillness of night
I feel you by my side
And yet I want to hide
From sadness we are sharing

Love at last you have found me
Love at last you have found me

So this is my way
Have others gone before
Is love an open door
Mine just for the taking or
Will I be afraid
So lost and so alone
Are your lips mine alone
What is this we are making

Love at last you have found me
Love at last you are mine

I Couldn't Sleep A Wink Last Night
German Title: Ich Hab' Die Ganze Nacht Geweint
Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



I couldn't sleep a wink last night
Because we had that silly fight
I thought my heart would break the whole night through
I knew that you'd be sorry, and I'm sorry, too

I didn't have my favorite dream
The one in which I hold you tight
I had to call you up this morning
To see if everything was still all right
Yes, I had to call you up this morning
'cause I couldn't sleep a wink last night

I didn't have my favorite dream
The one in which I hold you tight
I had to call you up this morning
To see if everything was still all right
Yes, I had to call you up this morning
'cause I couldn't sleep a wink last night

Je Voyage


Je Voyage
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Jean-Pierre Bourtayre
Performer(s): Charles & Katia Aznavour



[Katia]:
Dis, que fais-tu là l'homme au soleil sur ce banc
Le regard perdu sous tes cheveux d'argent

[Charles]:
Je regarde fuir mes ultimes printemps
Emportés par mille chevaux blancs

Je voyage, je voyage
Vers les lieux bénis de ma vie
De voyages en voyages
A travers erreurs et acquis

Sans bagage, par image
Par le rêve et par la pensée
De voyages en voyages
Sur les vagues de mon passé

[Katia]:
Ce voyage dans les limites
De vos regrets, de vos remords
Est-ce un refuge est-ce une fuite
Ou bien une aventure encore

[Charles]:
Sur l'eau calme de mon âge
Où l'orage ne tonne plus
De mirages en mirages
Vers mes plages de temps perdu
Je voyage

Et toi jeune fille aux sources de ta vie
Fugueuse à seize ans que fais-tu par ici

[Katia]:
Je vais au devant du comprendre et savoir
Voir la vie de l'envers des miroirs

Je voyage, je voyage
Et je cours pour aller de l'avant
De voyages en voyages
Sac au dos cheveux dans le vent

Parfois folle, parfois sage
Refusant les idées reçues
De voyages en voyages
Dans l'espoir de trouver un but

[Charles]:
Tu es l'enfant d'entre deux guerres
D'un monde cru au désarroi
D'hommes et de femmes de misères
Sous le joug du chacun pour soi

[Katia]:
De rivages en rivages
Pour des grèves à découvrir
De mirages en mirages
Vers les rives de l'avenir

[Charles][Katia]:
Je voyage, je voyage
Un peu plus de jour et de nuit
De voyages en voyages
A travers rêves et insomnies

Par temps clair ou d'orage
D'un pied léger ou d'un pas lourd
De mirages en mirages
Par la mémoire et par amour
Je voyage
