Just To See Her
Just To See Her
Composer(s): Jimmy George; Lou Pardini
Performer(s): Smokey Robinson;
and various other artists
Just to see her
Just to touch her
Just to hold her in my arms again one more time
If I could feel her warm embrace
See her smiling face
Can't find anyone to take her place
I've got to see her again
I would do anything
I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Just to see her again
I can't hide it
I can't fight it
It's so hard to live without the love she gave to me
Doesn't she know it
I tried hard not to show it
Can't I make her realize that she really needs me again
I would do anything
I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Just to see her again
She brightened up my everyday
Made me feel so good in every way
If I could have her back to stay
I've got to see her again

Trainwreck Of Emotion
Trainwreck Of Emotion
Composer(s): Alan Rhody - Jon Vezner
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan; Del McCoury
I can see it all so clearly as I'm looking back
I was headed down the wrong way on a one-way track
There must be a million chances that a fool could take
Well this fool took every one and never hit the brakes
I'm lying in the rubble cinder,smoke and ash
My heart still poundin' from the impact of the crash
I can see tomorrow's headlines
"Heartbroke from blind devotion"
Just another victim of a
Trainwreak of emotion
We were burnin' like a furnace as he poured on the coal
Drive wheel a churnin',I mean love was on a roll
Faster and faster I swear we left the ground
But when that smoke had cleared he was nowhere around
I'm lying in the rubble cinder,smoke and ash
My heart still poundin' from the impact of the crash
I can see tomorrow's headlines
"Heartbroke from blind devotion"
Just another victim of a
Trainwreak of emotion
Rumors are flyin' about how our love had failed
But I know it was him that pulled the switch
And left me derailed
I'm lying in the rubble cinder,smoke and ash
My heart still poundin' from the impact of the crash
I can see tomorrow's headlines
"Heartbroke from blind devotion"
Just another victim of a
Trainwreak of emotion
Just one more victim of a
Trainwreck of emotion
Trainwreck of emotion
Trainwreck of emotion

I Miss You (Graham Nash)
I Miss You
Composer(s): Graham Nash
Performer(s): Graham Nash
Thinking of myself today
I'm sorry that you went away
I'm feeling down
What can I say?
I miss you
I'm holding back and it's not fair
I think I'm trying not to care
of broken hearts I've had my share
but I miss you.
What did we do last Saturday night?
Dining at your mother's on whipped cream and wine
make me feel good all the time
make me feel good all the time
make me feel good
good

Will you let me hold you baby?

Baby, just hold my hand
Now I wanna love you, oh but not just to let you sit
Sit and hold my hand, baby just hold my hand
When I first met you, we took a long long walk
While we were walkin baby, we had a long long talk
I told you how I wanted you, and all the things I'd do
If you'd only prove that you loved me too
Yeah, I wanna tell you how it thrills, a how it thrills me
To call your name
If we don't make it, you've got yourself to blame
'Cause I'm gonna love you, oh but not just to let you sit
Sit and hold my hand

Trains And Boats And Planes
Trains And Boats And Planes
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
First release: Burt Bacharach And His Orch. & Chorus - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1965 - Quand Un Bateau Passe (Claude François)
1984 - Havens En Stations (Erik Van Neygen)
Trains and bloats and planes are passing by
They mean a trip to Paris or Rome
For someone else, but not for me
The trains and the boats and planes
Took you away, away from me
We were so in love and high above
We had a star to wish upon
Wish and dreams come true, but not for me
The trains and the boats and planes
Took you away, away from me
You are from another part of the world
You had to go back awhile and then
You said you soon would return again
I'm waiting here like I promised to
I'm waiting here, but where are you
Oh... oh... trains and boats and planes took you away
But every time I see her/him I pray
And if my prayer can cross the sea
The trains and the boats and planes
Will bring you back, back home to me
The trains and the boats and planes
Will bring you back, back home to me

I Miss You
Composer(s): Donnie Sumner
Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Still I recall all the good times together
The love we shared, the fun and the laughter
How I wish you could feel what my heart says tonight, dear
I miss you and I wish you were here
Dreams that I had, they lay broken in sorrow
The plans I made, my hopes for tomorrow
If I could I would tell you I'm lonesome tonight, dear
Oh, I miss you and I wish you were here
All through the night I will see memories passing
The way you looked, the sound of your laughing
How I long for the touch of your hand holding mine, dear
Oh, I miss you and I wish you were here
Lord, I miss you and I wish you were here

Havens En Stations
Havens En Stations
((Adapted from: Trains And Boats And Planes (Burt Bacharach And His Orch. & Chorus) - 1965))
((French Version: Quand Un Bateau Passe (Claude François) - 1965))
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David - Erik Van Neygen
Performer(s): Erik Van Neygen - 1984
Havens en stations brachten me haast de wereld rond
Toch, er was daar niets wat me erg trok
Tenzij mijn wens om weer dicht bij jou te zijn
Zo vlug als ’k kon, bij jou te zijn
Liefde was een spel voor jou en mij
Te veel verwend en zonder besef
Van plaats of tijd,hoe goed het was
Om steeds dicht bij jou te zijn
Zo veel als ’k kon, bij jou te zijn
Hoe voel jij je nu daarginds heel alleen
Voel je je beter dan toen
Voel je je beter dan toen bij mij
Ben je op zoek ja, vergeefs op zoek
Want ik wacht hier, en waar ben jij
havens en stations brachten me haast de wereld rond
maar telkens als ik dan aan je denk
weerklinkt mijn wens om weer dicht bij jou te zijn
Zo vlug als ’k kan, bij jou te zijn

Trains
Trains
Performer(s): Reginald Gardiner
I have a theory about railway engines being bad tempered
Well, when I say bad tempered, that's putting it mildly!
They're actually livid, furious beasts and they loathe humanity
So different from a ship, which is a sad, proud, graceful creature
You know, I can never understand why an engine driver isn't afraid of the monster he's in charge of, but he isn't!
And when the train's about to leave, he pulls down a lever and this livid beast is unleashed
Like this: Huhhh... huh... huh... huh... huhhh... huh... huh... huh... huh... huh... huh... and so forth, on it's journey
Well, now we've unleashed this livid beast, we find it's still equally furious
and it has this colossal argument with the rails it's running on
Like this: Biddlah-da, giddlah-da, diddley-dee, diddley-dah, diddley-dee, giddley-dah, giddley-duh... and that goes on the entire journey
And, not only does it have a colossal argument with the rails it's running on, but also all the other rails when they dare to cross it's own
Like this: Biddlah-duh, giddlah-duh, diddley-dee, diddley-dah, biddley-diddley-biddley-dee... and so on
Well, then we get out into the country and we come to a little rustic bridge spanning the railway
It's quite inoffensive, this dear little bridge, but the engine can't bear anything within it's reach at all
so it shouts at the little bridge as it goes underneath
Like this: Biddlah-dah, giddlah-dah, diddley-dee, diddley-dah, diddley-dee
Haahhh, buddlah-dah, biddlah-dee, guddlah-dah
Incidently, talking about this argument with the rails, this diddlah-duh business
I'm not a much travelled man, but I'm told this goes on all over the world, on all the different railways
For instance, in France exactly the same thing takes place, only the language is different, you know
Suddley-da, suddley na, suddley-da, suck-it-yourself, suddley-da, suddlah-dah... it's all much the same thing!
Speaking of France
The first time I ever went there, I arrived at Calais and very close to the quayside I came across my first glimpse of a French engine
I was vastly impressed, because it seemed to be four times as big and eight times as livid as any engine I'd ever seen before!
To begin with, it had eight of everything, cow catchers and bells and everything but the kitchen stove hanging all over it
Added to which, it had a very bad tempered word written across the front
It just said 'Nord', which I know is horrid to start with!
And it was a great pleasure to find I was allowed to do something in France that I'm not allowed to do in my own country
Namely that I could walk across the line to get to the platform on the other side, instead of going over by that maddening bridge!
So I picked up my little bag and walked in front of this monster, cowering away from it
And suddenly to my amazement, it let out an extraordinarily efffeminate voice
It seemed to me to be so enormously masculine and yet, as it started on it's journey for Paris, all it managed to summon up was: 'Fah'
Of course, I may be wrong about that, but it really does seem to me to be a little peculiar
Proceeding on our journey we find, from time to time, that we tear through certain wayside stations where no train has ever deigned to stop
People have been standing, waiting on these stations for centuries, but the engine ignores them, shouting as it rushes past
Like this: Diddley-dah, diddley-dah, raahh, romm, waahh, diddley-da, diddley-da, diddley-da, diddley-da
Then, of course, in time we get to a manufacturing town
Now when you get to these big towns, if you look out of the window, you'll notice some things called sidings
on which a quite inexplicable thing called shunting takes place
This, of course, is just an excuse on the part of the railway company to provide homes for old engines!
You see, there comes a time with an engine when it ceases to be virile and hearty and it just becomes long funnelled and tiresome
So it's put on one of these sidings and given a lot of trucks to play with
And, if you happen to have a bedroom anywhere near a siding
you'll find that you're woken up very early in the morning by trucks taking umbridge
And it goes like this: Huh... huh... huh... p-dink-dink, p-dank-donk, p-donk-dank, p-tink-donk-donk-donk-donk... to the far end
And, of course, there's another old gentleman at the other end who decides to do the same thing and biffs them all back again
And in this way, the railway company is carried on
Now there's one thing I must know before I die, and that's something that takes place in the tunnel outside Snowhill Station, Birmingham
You dash into the tunnel very fast and the brakes go on and you look out of the window
and all down the tunnel at intervals are a lot of flare lights
And in between these flare lights are men, standing!
They're leaning on shovels and pick-axes and golf clubs, or anything they can get hold of
And these men, they live there... definitely!
And as you go slowly through the tunnel, an extraordinary noise starts at the far end and slowly crashes past the window
I've no idea what it is, but it goes something like this: Brom-brom-brom-brom, durrum-durrum-durrum, aling-aling-aling-aling-aling
I think it's a piece of tin which has been nailed to the side of the tunnel with some number on it
or something that doesn't seem to mean anything to anybody
And it's too big! And it strikes the side of the train as it goes through
And, presumably, the men are merely there to bend the tin back, ready for the next train to hit it as it goes through the tunnel
Now, lastly, I'm going to tell you the one thing that an engine loathes more than anything else
And that is another engine coming in the opposite direction
That it cannot bear!
And by this time, you'll have settled down having got quite used to the diddley-dum, diddley-dum nonsense and all other maddening noises
when suddenly, to your horror, this new thing bursts upon you and nearly knocks you on the carriage floor
It's the most frightening thing in the world and it goes something like this
Biddley-da, diddley-dum, diddley-dum, shaahhhhh, huddley-da, huddley-da, huddley-da!
Well folks, that's all... back to the asylum! Good night

Just The Way You Are
Just The Way You Are
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Barry White
Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are

Train round the bend
Takin' me away from the country
I'm sick of the trees
Take me to the city
Train goin' round the bend
Train comin' round the bend
Been in the country much too long
Trying to be a farmer
But nothing that I planted ever seemed to grow
Train comin' round the bend
Train comin' round the bend
Hey, I am just a city boy
I'm really not the country kind
I miss the city streets and the neon lights
See the train comin' round the bend
The train comin' round the bend
Once, she's goin' twice
She's gonna do it all up and down
She's goin' once, she's goin' twice
She's goin', train's comin' round the bend
You know the train's comin' round the bend
Hey, up and down, out of nowhere
Taking me back where I belong
I've been here once and I don't dig it tonight
The train's coming round the bend
The train's coming round the bend
Oooh Allright!

I Might Have Been Queen
I Might Have Been Queen
Composer(s): Rupert Hine; Jamie West-Oram
Performer(s): Tina Turner
I’m a new pair of eyes everytime I am born
An original mind because I just died
And I’m scanning the horizon
For someone recognizing that I might have been queen
For every sun that sets there is a new one dawning
For every empire crushed there is a brand new nation
Let the waters rise, I have ridden each tide
From the gates of the city where the first born died
And I might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
But the rivers won’t stop for me
No, the rivers won’t stop to me
I’m a new pair of eyes, an original mind
With my senses of old and the heart of a giant
And I’m searching through the wreckage
For some recollection that I might have been queen
For every sage that falls there’s an ancient child
And I might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
But the rivers won’t stop for me
No, the rivers won’t stop to me
I look up to the stars with my perfect memory
I look through it all and my future is no shock to me
I look down but I see no tragedy
I look up to the stars till I find my destiny
I look up to my past, a spirit running free
I look down, I look down and I’m there in history
I’m a soul survivor
A soul survivor
On the river
But it won’t stop

And the beauty of it all
when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you some time
And I want to spend some time with you
Chorus:
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us

Wasted waters's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not to those who wait to late
We got to go for all we know
Chorus
I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew
Darling, when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I want to be the one with you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building big castles way on high
Just the two of us

I Might
Composer(s): Barrie Guard; Stewart Leatherwood; Gary Sulsh
Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens; The Vees
I Might, (Ooooooooooooh)
I might just fall in love with you tonight
If your kiss lingers still
And my lips think it will
Then I just might
I could
I could surrender in your arms tonight
Just hold me close once more
And kiss me like before and I just might
Lately I found my resistance is down
Every time that I look in your eyes
My head starts to spin, I try not to give in
But if you catch my heart by surprise
I might, (Ooooooooooooh)
I might give up my heart without a fight
I never thought I would
But now I think I could
And I just might
Wooh, wooh
What can I do with a girl sweet as you
Can't kiss all my defenses away
Tonight you may find that you've made up my mind
'Cause it's getting much harder to say
I might, (Ooooooooooooh)
I might give up my heart without a fight
I never thought I would
But now I think I could
And I just might
(Ooooooh), I Might, (Ooooooooooooh)
I might just fall in love with you tonight
If your kiss lingers still
And my lips think it will
Then I just might
I could,
I could surrender in your arms tonight
Just hold me tight once more
And kiss me like before and I just might
I might just fall in love with you tonight
I never thought I would
But now I think I could and I ...
