Until You Fall In Love


Until You Fall In Love
Composer(s): Jack Popplewell; Michael Carr
Performer(s): Chick Henderson
and multiple other artists



Until you fall in love a love song’s just another tune
A lovers’ moon in June is just another moon
Until you fall in love the nights all seem to be the same
There is no lovers’ lane for you
But when love comes to find you
You’re in a world apart
Leave loneliness behind you
When heaven’s in your heart
You’ll never hear the bluebird singing in the sky above
You’ll never know that thrill until you fall in love

Earache My Eye


Earache My Eye
Composer(s): Cheech Marin - Tommy Chong - Gaye Delorme First release by: Cheech & Chong featuring Alice Bowie - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists



My momma talkin' to me tryin' to tell me how to live
But I don't listen to her 'cause my head is like a sieve
My daddy, he disowned me 'cause I wear my sister's clothes
He caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose

My basketball coach, he done kicked me off the team
For wearin' high-heel sneakers and actin' like a queen

The world's comin' to an end, I don't even care
As long as I can have a limo and my orange hair
And it don't bother me if people think I'm "funny"
'Cause I'm a big rock star and I'm makin' lots of money
money, money, money, money, money, money
Ahhh! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

I'm so bloody rich! Ha ha ha ha
I own apartment buildings and shopping centers! Ha ha ha ha
And I only know three chords! Ha ha ha ha

Seven-thirty-seven coming out of the sky
Won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride
I want to move
Playing in a travelling band
Yeah!
Well, I'm flying 'cross the land, trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelling band

Take me to the hotel, baggage gone -- oh, well
Come on, come on, won't you get me to my room
I want to move
Playing in a travelling band
Yeah!
Well, I'm flying 'cross the land, trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelling band

Listen to the radio talking 'bout the last show
Someone got excited, had to call the state militia
Want to move
Playing in a travelling band
Yeah!
Well, I'm flying 'cross the land, trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelling band

Here we come again on a Saturday night
With your fussing and your fighting
won't you get me to the rhyme
I want to move
Playing in a travelling band
Yeah!
Well, I'm flying 'cross the land, trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelling band...

I Need Your Love In My Life


I Need Your Love In My Life
Composer(s): Coco Montoya; Dave Steen
Performer(s): Solomon Burke



Hello!
Well, I bet you're surprised to hear me
I'm so glad you picked up the phone
I guess I owed you an apology
But I've been taking some time alone

I need so badly to believe
You missed me and I miss you
There's so much mystery
But I'm lonely, and a-feelin' true

I need some love in my life
(Need some love in my life)
I need some love in my life
(Need some love in my life)

Now the difference between lovin' another
Is one thing I understand
Now that I see one from another
I know I can be your man

You need so bad to believe
That my heart would be forever true
Now I'm standing right here, standing right here
Standing right in front of you

Now, I need some love in my life
(I need some love in my life)
I need some love in my life
(I need some love in my life)
You need some love in your life
(You need some love in your life)
Baby, I need your love in my life
(Need some love in my life)

I missed your midnight invitations
I need you soul, soul confirmation
I need it so badly, oh so much
Baby, I miss your tender touch

You need so bad to believe
That my heart would forever be true
Now I'm standing right here
(Standing right here)
And I'm reaching out to you

Let me tell ya
I need your love in my life
(Need some love in my life)
Need real love in my life, Baby
(Need some love in my life)

I know it, I need it
I know it
Let it rock ya
(Need some love in my life)
Ooh, Lord, let it roll ya
(Need some love in my life)
Take it slow, Baby, console ya
(Need some love in my life)
Let the flow control ya
(Need some love in my life)
I need, I need some love in my life
Your good hot sweet love in my life, Baby
Come get it, Baby, I love ya
(Need some love in my life)
I got it, you need it
(Need some love in my life)
I give it to you
Got, got, got
(Some love in my life)
Got to have some love in my life
(Love in my life)

I'm here to give it to ya
I wanna give it to you
I wanna give it, give it, give it, give it to you
All you need
What you want, you gotta have it
Squeeze ya, tease ya, need ya

Love, love, love, love
That's it
There it is, Baby

Eagle When She Flies


Eagle When She Flies
Composer(s): Dolly Parton Performer(s): Dolly Parton and multiple other artists



She's been there, God knows, she's been there
She has seen and done it all
She's a woman, she knows how to
Dish it out or take it all
Her heart's as soft as feathers
Still she weathers stormy skies
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies

A kaleidoscope of colors
You can toss her around and 'round
You can keep her in your vision
But you'll never keep her down
She's a lover, she's a mother
She's a friend and she's a wife
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies

Gentle as the sweet magnolia
Strong as steel, her faith and pride
She's an everlasting shoulder
She's the leaning post of life
She hurts deep and when she weeps
She's just as fragile as a child
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies

She's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies
Oh, bless her, Lord
She's an eagle when she flies

Travellin' Light


Travellin' Light
Composer(s): Sid Tepper - Roy Bennett
First recording/First release: Cliff Richard and The Shadows - 1959



Got no bags and baggage to slow me down
I'm travellin' so fast my feet ain't touchin' the ground
Travellin' light, travellin' light
Well I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight

No comb and no toothbrush, I've got nothing to haul
I'm carryin' only, a pocket full of dreams, a heart full of love
And they weigh nothing at all

Soon I'm going to see that love look in her eyes
I'm a hoot and a holler away from paradise
Travellin' light, travellin' light
I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight

No comb and no toothbrush, I've got nothing to haul
I'm carryin' only, a pocket full of dreams, a hand full of love
And they weigh nothing at all

Soon I'm going to see that love look in her eyes
I'm a hoot and a holler away from paradise
Travellin' light, Hmmnn
Well I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight
Hmmnn

I Need Your Love


I Need Your Love
Composer(s): Fred Sampson; Tom Scholz
Performer(s): Boston



Can’t help this feeling
Can’t help this feeling
I can’t believe it’s open for discussion
We’ve said our goodbyes
I’ve been a fool not to see the repercussions
You’ve had in my life
I’m at the point of no return
I’ve finally crossed the line
Don’t want to stop and watch the bridges burn
’cause I can’t stand to see you stay behind

I need your love
I want you every way
I need your love
Can’t help this feeling coming back everyday

I stayed around hoping you’d discover
How much there was to lose
I spelled it out, I led you to the water
But you’re too blind to choose
I gave it everything and more to make it
I’ve waited for so long
I saw the chance to run and had to take it
But something’s missing and I know it’s wrong

I need your love
I want you every way
And I need your love
Can’t help this feeling coming back everyday

I’ve passed the point of no return
And all the tears have dried
Don’t want to stop and watch the bridges burn
’cause I keep wishing I was on your side

I need your love
I want you every way
And I need your love
Can’t help this feeling

I need your love
I want you every way
I need your love
Can’t help this feeling coming back everyday

Eager Beaver Baby


Eager Beaver Baby
Composer(s): Stanley Clayton - Bill Katz - Ruth Ann Roberts Performer(s): Johnny Burnette; Deja Voodoo; Hi Fly Rangers



I don't know how it started, I don't know what I did
But there's a gal who's chasm' me who really flipped her lid
I call her my eager beaver baby, ooh eager beaver baby
Well what am I gonna do with that eager beaver baby of mine
She's always there beside me, no matter where I stop
She follows me at the movies, even to the barber shop
I call her my eager heaver baby, ooh eager beaver baby
Well what am I gonna do with that eager beaver baby of mine

She gets me in her parlor and switches off the light
Before I know what's happened she's a-huggin' me so tight
I call her my eager beaver baby, eager beaver baby
Well what am I gonna do with that eager beaver baby of mine
She loves to mess my hair up and loosen up my tie
And when she starts a-kissin', I'm a real gone guy
I call her my eager beaver baby, ooh eager beaver baby
Well what am I gonna do with that eager beaver baby of mine

Traveller's Prayer


Traveller's Prayer
Performer(s): Slim Dusty



May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rains fall soft upon your tracks
And until, until we meet again
May God hold you safely in the palm of His hand

May the hills come down to greet you
May the rocks give shelter in the storm
May the dust be soft beneath your feet
And the dark give rest before the dawn
And until, until we meet again
May God hold you safely in the palm of His

In the palm of His hand
In the palm of his hand
in the palm of his hand
Safely in the palm of his hand

May your life have many memories
May your death be sweet and full of peace
May your hope last an eternity
And may your joy carry on and never cease
And until, until we meet again
May God hold you safely in the palm of His

And until, until we meet again
May God hold you safely in the palm of His
In the palm of His hand
In the palm of his hand
in the palm of his hand
Safely in the palm of his hand
In the palm of His hand
In the palm of his hand
in the palm of his hand
Safely in the palm of his hand

I Need You To Turn To


I Need You To Turn To
Italian Title: E Ho Bisogno Di Te - 1973
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
First release by: Elton John - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



You’re not a ship to carry my life
You’re nailed to my love in many lonely nights
I strayed from the cottages and found myself here
But I need your love
Your love protects my fear

And I wonder sometimes and I know I’m unkind
But I need you to turn to when I act so blind
And I need you to turn to when I lose control
But it’s my guardian angel who keeps out the cold

Did you think you’ll smile on
Well, I said I knew that my reason for living was for loving you
We’re related in feeling of your high above
You’re pure and your gentle with the grace of a dove

And I wonder sometimes and I know I’m unkind
But I need you to turn to when I act so blind
And I need you to turn to when I lose control
But it’s my guardian angel who keeps out the cold

And I wonder sometimes and I know I’m unkind
To my guardian angel who keeps out the cold

Each Word's A Beat Of My Heart


Each Word's A Beat Of My Heart
Composer(s): Willy DeVille Performer(s): Mink DeVille; Willy DeVille



Looks like a blue
blue day

Only wish that I could say
That this is rain in my eyes
I only wish I could find the words
To say just how I feel

To say just how I feel inside
So please
listen close
'Cause each word's a beat of my heart
Someway
somehow
I'll find
How to say what's on my mind
Till then you'll have to read my eyes
Looks like a blue day
Only wish that I could say
That this is rain in my eyes
So please
listen close
'Cause each word's a beat of my heart
Each word's a beat of my heart

Each word's a beat of my heart

Traveling Down The Blue Road


Traveling Down The Blue Road
Composer(s): Marshall Wilborn
Performer(s): Doyle Lawson



Traveling down the blue road
Wondering, hardly waiting just to get back home again
Winds are blowing down the blue road
Too long a loser, soon he's gonna win

He's worked in wood, worked in steel, call him what you will
Years can never outnumber the miles on his shoes
Been a lover and a fighter, gambler and moonshiner
Call him well-acquainted with the blues

Speak of oil fields, cottonfields, bright lights and city nights
Think about most any place he may have lived or died
There but now there's a lady who can turn back the miles
Gentle as a summer morning air

I need you so
To keep me happy
If I can't have you
I cannot go on

I need your arms
Around me tightly
Yes, I miss them nightly
When you're not at home

When the day is done
I miss you so
I lie and wait
To hear you knock upon the door

When you leave me
I try not to worry
Come back in a hurry
'Cause I need you so

When the day is done
I miss you so
I lie and wait
To hear you knock upon the door

When you leave me
I try not to worry
Come back in a hurry
'Cause I need you so

Travelin' Shoes (Sawyer Brown)


Travelin' Shoes
Performer(s): Sawyer Brown



Mama always reminds me that we're only passin' through
The treasures of this world are not for us to hold on to
She says the way we're headed
Will take us where we're bound
And we can not lay our journey down

Because all god's children need travelin' shoes
To walk the road that's narrow but it's true
We can' stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

My bags are pack and waiting and I'm headed for the door
The train Is at the station , got my ticket and I'll board
The brakeman swings his lantern
Lit with never ending love
And mama I can't thank you near enough

Because all god's children need travelin' shoes
To walk the road that's narrow but it's true
We can' stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

Because all god's children need travelin' shoes
To walk the road that's narrow but it's true
We can' stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

We can't stop here we're just passin' through
That's why all god's children need travelin' shoes

If I ever needed you, I need you now

I can ease my achin' heart, Honey, you'd know how
If I ever needed you, I need you now

Each Time


Each Time
Composer(s): Jackie DeShannon Performer(s): The Searchers



Each time you hurt me and desert me
You swear you'll never do it again
Oh each time I catch you lyin' I start cryin'
You say "It's the last time" and then

Oh you say "Oh baby, everything's gonna be fine"
And like a fool I keep forgivin' you each time

Each time I say I'll leave you, never see you
You tell me you'll make it all up to me
Oh each time you say "Let's try it just once more"
'Cause I'm all you're livin' for, you'll change, I'll see

Then you call me baby, everything's gonna be fine
Then like a fool I keep forgivin' you each time

Wish that I felt just like I did before
There was a time I could walk out the door
But I can't go now though I know it's wrong
'Cause good or bad it's with you I belong

Then you say "Oh baby, everything's gonna be fine"
No matter what you do, I keep forgivin' you
Each time, each time, each time, each time

Travelin' Shoes
Composer(s): Elvin Bishop
Performer(s): Elvin Bishop; Hal Singer; Maria Muldaur



Me and my old lady
Ain't been getting along
If things don't get better
I'll soon be long gone

The situation is driving me insane
Somebody fetch me my hat and coat
And hand me my walking cane

Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes

I'm trying to tell you, boys
These hard headed women these days
The way they treat a man
Ain't nothing but a doggone shame

I talked and talked and talked
She didn't hear a word I said

Gonna get somebody's baseball bat
And send her out again

Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes
Gotta put on my traveling shoes

I Need You (The Who)


I Need You
Composer(s): Keith Moon
Performer(s): The Who



Knowing
Is what people tell you
That you're thinking wrong
Embrace you,
But they really mean "So long"

You talk to them
They laugh aloud
Yet they run to you
In any crowd

Please talk to me again
I need you

We're dancing
We will come and dance near you
We want to learn
Let us come and sitar with you

Distort my ears when
The music's loud
Yet you raise your hatchet
In the yellow crowd

Please talk to me again
I need you

Knowing
Is what people tell you
That you're thinking wrong
Embrace you,
But they really mean "So long"

You talk to them
They laugh aloud
Yet they run to you
In any crowd

Please talk to me again
I need you

Each Night At Nine


Each Night At Nine
Composer(s): Floyd Tillman First release by: Floyd Tillman - 1944 Covered by multiple other artists



A thousand miles dear a thousand more
Across the water across the shore
I'll say a prayer dear for your and mine
Please think of me dear each night at nine

I hold your picture close to my heart
It takes your place dear while we're apart
Helps remind me that you're still mine
To feel your nearness each night at nine

The bugle's playing out goes the light
Gee but it's lonely these Army nights
Please tell kiddies I'm doing fine
Give them my love dear each night at nine

A thousand miles dear a thousand more
Across the water across the shore
I'll say a prayer dear for your and mine
Please think of me dear each night at nine
