I Won't Take Less Than Your Love


I Won't Take Less Than Your Love
Composer(s): Paul Overstreet; Don Schlitz
First release by: Tanya Tucker, Paul Davis & Paul Overstreet - 1987



How much do I owe you? said the husband to his wife
For standing beside me through the hard years of my life
Shall I bring you diamonds, shall I buy you furs?
Say the word and it's yours
And his wife said: I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the riches of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love

How much do I owe you? to the mother said the son
For all that you have taught me in the days that I was young
Shall I bring expensive blankets to cast upon your bed?
And a pillow for to rest your weary head

And the mother said: I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the comforts of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love

How much do I owe you? said the man to his Lord
For giving me this day and every day that's gone before
Shall I build a temple, shall I make a sacrifice?
Tell me Lord and I will pay the price

And the Lord said: I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the treasures of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love

I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the treasures of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love

No, I won't take less than your love

Kiss The Children


Kiss The Children
Composer(s): Gram Parsons & Rick Grech
Performer(s): Gram Parsons;
Rick Grech; Bill & Audrey



Well, it's said my life is been so free and easy
But I'll tell you now the story isn't so
Cause I've spent a lot of time down on the corner
Tasting tears and spilling whisky on the floor

Such a shame that it's so hard from me
To tell the truth to you
But by now you know the kind of man I am
So don't turn your pretty face away from me, dear
Cause there's kids and this game don't understand

James Burton Electric Guitar solo

One more night like this would put me six feet under
But my heart will still be fighting for your love
Just remember, little darling, that I love you
And kiss the children for me, please, before you go

Pedal Steel Guitar solo

So don't play this crazy game with me no longer
Cause I won't be able to resist my rage
And the gun that's hangin on the kitchen wall, dear
Is like the road sign pointing straight to satan's cage
And the gun that's hangin on the kitchen wall, dear
Is like the road sign pointing straight to satan's cage

I Won't Send Roses


I Won't Send Roses
From "Mack & Mabel"
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
and multiple other artists



Mack:
I won't send roses
Or hold the door
I won't remember
Which dress you wore
My heart is too much in control
The lack of romance in my soul
Will turn you grey, kid
So stay away, kid
Forget my shoulder
When you're in need
Forgetting birthdays
Is guaranteed
And should I love you, you would be
The last to know
I won't send roses
And roses suit you so

My pace is frantic
My temper's cross
With words romantic
I'm at a loss
I'd be the first one to agree
That I'm preoccupied with me
And it's inbred, kid
So keep your head, kid
In me you'll find things
Like guts and nerve
But not the kind of things
That you deserve
And so while there's a fighting chance
Just turn and go
I won't send roses
And roses suit you so

I Won't Mention It Again


I Won't Mention It Again
Composer(s): Cam Mullins
Performer(s): Ray Price
and multiple other artists



I know you're tired of being all I ever wanted
You no longer feel the love I have for you
What happens now, what will I do with all the mem'ries
And the dreams of all the things we'll never do

But I won't mention it again
I won't think about tomorrow
Just let it happen
Live each hour, day by day
But let me tell you before you go
How much I love you
Then I won't mention it again
I won't mention it again

I feel my life has reached an early sign of autumn
In my heart the leaves are falling, love is cold
And everything that once was warm and new is gone now
Leaving nothing but this hunger in my soul

But I won't mention it again
I won't think about tomorrow
Just let it happen
Live each hour, day by day
But let me tell you before you go
How much I love you
Then I won't mention it again
I won't mention it again

But let me tell you before you go
How much I love you
Then I won't mention it again
I won't mention it again

Ringing in my soul
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me love
Just one kiss, kiss will do

I Won't Last A Day Without You


I Won't Last A Day Without You
Composer(s): Roger Nichols; Paul Williams
First release by: The Carpenters - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care, you're always there

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

So many times when the city seems to be without a friendly face
A lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you're near

If all my friends have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind, just hard to find
One look at you and I know that I could learn to live
Without the rest, I found the best

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

Kisses (The Sweetest Kisses Of All)


Kisses (The Sweetest Kisses Of All)
Composer(s): Alex Sullivan; Lynn Cowan



Ever since the world began
kisses have been tempting man
though the kisses have helped to make history
it's funny different they can be

Every one just love to kiss, every lad and every miss
though many are bashful, we know, it's true
they love their hugs and kisses too

There's the kiss that you get from baby
there's the kiss that you get from dad
there's the kiss that you get from mother
that's the first real kiss you had
there's the kiss of a tender meeting
other kisses you recall
but the kisses I get from you sweetheart
are the sweetest kisses of all

Twins


Twins
Composer(s): L. Smokey Bates - Skip Scarborough
Performer(s): Philip Bailey & Little Richard



What happened to you
Hey I could feel it
I smile and cry
Without knowing why
The join the pain would be so real
I felt like my life was happening to me
And now I know, its cause you're part of me
Was it my choice, it was meant to be
We were connected even when apart
We got together right from the start

Twins, united that's how it is
When you're twins, the magic just never ends

If one day is good then two is better
I can't complain cause I'm ahead of the game
Please pick the pain double the pleasure
I'm starting to feel my philosophy
Now we're not just your average family
We got better this suppose people never seen
And if I had a chance to live and again
I wouldn't want it unless I was your twin

Twins, united that's how it is
When you're twins, the magic just never ends

I Won't Hold You Back


I Won't Hold You Back
Composer(s): Steve Lukather
Performer(s): Toto
and multiple other artists



If I had another chance tonight
I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right
Time can't erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

Now you're gone, I'm really not the same
I guess I have myself to blame
Time can't erase the things we said
But it gives me time to realize that you're the one instead

You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now

Now that I'm alone it gives me time to think about the years that
you were mine
Time can erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found (Listen to me baby)
You know I can't hold you back now

You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found

(Repeat)

Kisses In The Moonlight


Kisses In The Moonlight
Composer(s): Narada Michael Walden;
Preston Glass; Jeffrey Cohen
Performer(s): George Benson



Oh, what a night
Now don’t you feel like flyin’
Everything’s right
You can’t blame me for tryin’

Love, look up there
The stars are all aligned
Now don’t you think it’s time, ho, ho, ho

Closer to me
I want to feel your breathing permanently
‘Cause darling, I’m not leaving here
Till I get what I’ve been waiting for
Some twenty-five or more
That’s all I need, oh

Kisses in the moonlight, sugar
That would make this night complete
There have got to be
Oh, kisses in the moonlight, sugar
Fly away with me

Most of our days
We get so busy runnin’
Lost in a maze
We’ve got no time for fun and dreams

Every now and then
A dream is real
And this is how it feels, yeah, yeah

For once in your life
Forget about tomorrow
Tonight is the night
Our worries seems so far away

You’ll hold me in your arms
So tenderly
I only want a taste
Of your sweet, sweet, ooh

Oh, kisses in the moonlight, sugar
That would make this night complete
There have got to be
Oh, kisses in the moonlight, sugar
Fly away with me
Oh, fly away with me

Don’t let this night end right now
‘Cause in your arms is where I need to be
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Kisses in the moonlight
And you know
Oh, oh, oh
Ooh

Oh, kisses in the moonlight, hey
That would make this night complete
There have got to be
Oh, kisses in the moonlight, sugar
Fly away with me

Oh, kisses in the moonlight, ho, baby, ho
That would make this night complete
There have got to be
Oh, kisses in the moonlight, sugar
Fly away with me

Oh, kisses in the moonlight

Twinkle, Twinkle, Lucky Star


Twinkle, Twinkle, Lucky Star
Composer(s): Merle Haggard
Performer(s): Merle Haggard; Lynn August



Twinkle, twinkle lucky star
Can you send me luck from where you are

Can you make a rainbow shine that far
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star

Can you really make a wish come true
And do you shine on just a chosen few

Is it over, have I gone to far
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star

Like two ships on the ocean, we drifted apart
And you found an island at sea

I'm still adrift with this pain in my heart
Won't you send her sweet love back to me

Twinkle, twinkle lucky star

Twinkle, twinkle lucky star
Can you send me luck from where you are

Can you make a rainbow shine that far
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star

I Won't Grow Up


I Won't Grow Up
Composer(s): Moose Charlap; Carolyn Leigh
Performer(s): Rickie Lee Jones
and multiple other artists



I won’t grow up
I don’t want to go to school
Just to learn to be a parrot
And recite a silly rule
If growing up means it would be
Beneath my dignity to climb a tree
I’ll never grow up, never grow up,
Never grow up! Not me! Not I! Not me!

I won’t grow up
I don’t want to wear a tie
And a serious expression
In the middle of July
And if it means I must prepare
To shoulder burdens with a worried air
I’ll never grow up, never grow up
Never grow up, not me! Not I! Not me!
So there!

Never gonna be a man! I won’t!
Like to see somebody try and make me
Anyone who wants to try and make me
turn me to a man
Catch me if you can!

I won’t grow up
Not a penny will I pinch
I will never grow a moustache
Or a fraction of an inch
Cause growing up is awfuller
Than all the awful things that ever were
I’ll never grow up, never grow up,
Never grow up, no sir! Not I! Not me! So there!

I won’t grow up!
I will never even try
I will do what Peter tells me
And I’ll never ask him why
We won’t grow up

We will never grow a day
And if someone tries to make us
We will simply run away

I won’t grow up
No, I promise that I won’t
I will stay a boy forever
Or be banished if I don’t
And Neverland will always be
The home of youth and joy and liberty
I’ll never grow up, never grow up
Never grow up, Not me! No sir! Not me!

Kisses Of Fire


Kisses Of Fire
Composer(s): Benny Andersson; Björn Ulvaeus
Performer(s): ABBA



Lay your head on my chest so you hear every beat of my heart
Now there's nothing at all that can keep us apart
Touch my lips, close your eyes and see with your fingertips
Things that you do, and you know I'm crazy 'bout you

Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a land-slide of emotions
I've had my share of love affairs but they were nothing compared to this
Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fire

When you sleep by my side I feel safe and I know I belong
Still it's making me scared that my love is so strong
Losing you is a nightmare fate and to me it's new
Never before did you see me begging for more

Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a land-slide of emotions
I've had my share of love affairs but they were nothing compared to this
Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fire

Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a land-slide of emotions
Kisses of fire, burning, burning
(I'm at the point of no returning)
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss
(Caught in a land-slide of emotions)
Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a land-slide of emotions

Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone


Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone
Composer(s): Jay Graydon - Bernard Herrmann - Alan Paul
Performer(s): The Manhattan Transfer



When I hear this melody
This strange illusion takes over me
Through a tunnel of the mind
Perhaps a present or future time oh, oh
Out of nowhere comes this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round & 'round
Pyramidal locomotion
From a mystic unknown zone

Hearin' the twilight
Hearin' the twilight tone

Unpretentious girl from Memphis
Saw the future through her third eye
People came with skepticism
Picking, testing her precision, no, wo, oh, oh
Suddenly they heard this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round & 'round
A signpost up ahead is calling
Through the mystic unknown zone

Hearin' the twilight
Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm
Hearin' the twilight
Twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da
Hearin' the twilight
Twilight tone

Submitted for your approval
One Mr. Miller, who's about to take a trip into oddness and obsolescene
through a zone whose boundaries are that of imagination
Accompanying him on this journey is the mesmerizing sound of the Twilight Tone

On a cold & rainy night
One Mister Miller had a rare flight
Glen was up there boppin' a rhythm
Then the engine stopped to listen with him
Play that beat, oh, oh
Suddenly he heard this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round & 'round
Now he resides and plays trombone
In the mystic unknown zone

Hearin' the twilight
(Ooooooh, twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)

I Won't Go Huntin' With You Jake (But I'll Go Chasin' Wimmin)


I Won't Go Huntin' With You Jake (But I'll Go Chasin' Wimmin) Composer(s): Stuart Hamblen Performer(s): Stuart Hamblen and multiple other artists



Oh, it's springtime in the mountains and I'm full of mountain dew
Can't even read my catalog - like I used to do
I'm a-settin' in that little shed that's right back of the house
Here's comes old Jake with all the hounds; but he's gonna hear me shout

Oh, I won't go huntin' with you, Jake, but I'll go chasin' women
So put them hounds back in the pens and quit your silly grinnin'
Well, the moon is bright, and I'm half tight; my life is just beginnin'
I won't go huntin' with you, Jake, but I'll go chasin' women

Let's go down to the meetin' house and wait till they start home
Them gals that live on Possum Creek we'll always leave alone
We'll run them down the corn rows, them sassy little misses
We'll scare them pretty gals to death; we'll stop and throw 'em kisses

Now, go wash your face and comb your hair, 'cause it's durn near time to start
But let me tell you 'fore you go, there's one that's got my heart
Don't chase that gal with the yaller hair and wears a dress of green
For that little gal belongs to me, I know she's past sixteen

Now I was headed for the general store, when a silly thing I seen
They make 'em in the city - called a magazine
I turned to page thirty-two, and look at what I found
Them gals wear clothes that we ain't seen beneath them gingham gowns

Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
Composer(s): Ronnie Gilbert; Lee Hays;
Fred Hellerman; Pete Seeger
Performer(s): The Weavers;
and various other artists



Well, when I was a young man never been kissed
I got to thinkin' it over how much I had missed
So I got me a girl and I kissed her and then, and then
Oh, lordy, well I kissed 'er again

Chorus
Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)

Well I asked her to marry and to be my sweet wife
I told her we'd be so happy for the rest of our life
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man
And then, whoops oh lordy, well she gave me her hand

Chorus

Well we worked very hard both me and my wife
Workin' hand-in-hand to have a good life
We had corn in the field and wheat in the bin
And then, whoops oh lord, I was the father of twins

Chorus

Well our children they numbered just about four
And they all had a sweetheart a'knockin' on the door
They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate
I was, whoops oh lord, the grandfather of eight

Chorus

Well now that I'm old and I'm a'ready to go
I get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
Had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble and pain
But then, whoops oh lordy, well I'd do it all again

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm…kisses…sweeter…than…wine
