Keep On Eatin'
Keep On Eatin'
Composer(s): Minnie McCoy
Performer(s): Memphis Minnie
Every time I cook, look like you can't get enough
Fix you a pot of soup and make you drink it up
So keep on a-eating
Oh, keep on a-eating
Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough
You don't like nobody's cooking but mine
Get up in the morning and fix you a tenderloin
So keep on a-eating
Oh, keep on a-eating
Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough
Don't tell nobody that I tried to be tough
I just got a man so hard to fill up
So keep on a-eating
Oh, keep on a-eating
Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough
(spoken:
Oh, play it now, Mr. Charlie1
Yes, man! Just keep on eating
You'll get through it someday)
I know you're crazy about your oysters and your shrimp and crab
Take you around the corner and give you a chance to grab
So keep on a-eating
Oh, keep on a-eating
Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough
I've cooked and cooked till I done got tired
Can't fill you up off of my fried apple pie
So keep on a-eating
Oh, keep on a-eating
Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough
I know you got a bad cold and you can't smell
I ain't gonna give you something that I can't sell
So keep on a-eating
Oh, keep on a-eating
Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough

It Started All Over Again
It Started All Over Again
Composer(s): Bill Carey - Carl Fischer
Performer(s): Jo Stafford
and multiple other artists
It started all over again
The moment I looked in your eyes
It started all over again
The thrill we can never disguise
The day that we parted, so broken hearted
Will never return again
Dreams I've delayed, promises made
Are starting anew, just for you
It started all over again
The moment I held you so tight
It started all over again
When we kissed away the night - till dawn's early light
Now were together, sweethearts forever
We'll build our romance anew
It started all over again
The moment I looked at you

If I Can't Love Her
If I Can't Love Her
Composer(s): Alan Menken; Tim Rice
Performer(s): Terrence Mann
and multiple other artists
Beast:
And in my twisted face, there's not the slightest trace
Of anything that even hints at kindness
And from my tortured shape, no comfort, no escape
I see, but deep within is utter blindness
Hopeless as my dream dies, as the time flies, love a lost illusion
Helpless, unforgiven, cold and driven to this sad conclusion
No beauty could move me, no goodness improve me
No power on earth, if I can't love her
No passion could reach me, no lesson could teach me
How I could have loved her and make her love me, too
If I can't love her, then who?
Long ago I should have seen all the things I could have been
Careless and unthinking, I moved onward!
No pain could be deeper, no life could be cheaper
No point anymore, if I can't love her!
No spirit could win me, no hope left within me
Hope I could have loved her and that she'd set me free!
But it's not to be
If I can't love her, let the world be done with me

Keep On Lovin' You
Keep On Lovin' You
Composer(s): Kevin Cronin
Performer(s): RE0 Speedwagon
You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin
And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever
And I'm gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you
(solo)
And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever
(chorus)

Let Me Love You Tonight
Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - René Touzet
Performer(s): Woody Herman
and multiple other artists
Let me love you tonight
Let me tell you how much I adore all your charms
Though you leave me tomorrow for this night we'll borrow a love song
Let me love you tonight
Let me thrill to the touch of your sheltering arms
Til the scent of the roses caresses and closes your eyes
Let me kiss you tonight
While the stars in the sky give a heavenly light
So when love is an ember my heart will remember this sight
Live a lifetime of love in a moment holding me tight
Then forget me darling only
Let me love you tonight
Live a lifetime of love in a moment holding me tight
Then forget me darling only
Let me love you tonight
Let me love you tonight
Let me love you tonight

Don't know why
I'm survivin' every lonely day
When there's got to be no chance for me
My life would end
And it doesn't matter how I cry
My tears, so far, are a waste of time
If I turn away
Am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you...uh-huh, oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you...uh-hoh
Can't let go and it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily to you my love
To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can't have you

If I can't have you ...uh-huh, oh

Queen Of The Senior Prom
Composer(s): Jack Richards - Stella Lee
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers
Little girl, all the world will be yours tonight
My queen of the senior prom
And some day you'll recall, being belle of the ball
In your beautiful gown of white
But the years disappear, fading out of sight
And leave only memories
So if you have a chance, wont you save me a dance
My queen of the senior prom
My sweet co-ed, my curly head
Your mothers pride and joy
Here comes your date, don't let him wait
He sure is a lucky boy
Run along, run along, little girl of mine
But sweetheart before you go
Your dad has the right to a kiss goodnight
My queen of the senior prom

Composer(s): Waylon Jennings; Troy Seals
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson
Waylon:
Come on now Willie don't look at me that way
I know you like a paperback book,'cause I've read every page
I know what you're thinkin' and I don't think you're thinkin' at all
This is old Hoss that you're talkin' to
The one with the perfect recall
Waylon & Willie:
No I ain't goin' down on the border with you tonight
Drinkin' tequila, taking chances on our lives
All the women are crazy, they like to party till daylight
On second thought if I can find a clean shirt I might
Willie:
Wait a minute Waylon I ain't said a thing about that
Sometimes I just like to wear my spurs and my old Mexican hat
But we sure had fun the last time that we were down there
And when we woke up, you had that weird tattoo
And somebody had curled my hair
No I ain't goin' down on the border with you tonight
Drinkin' tequila, taking chances on our lives
All the women are crazy, they like to party till daylight
On second thought if I can find a clean shirt I might
All the women are crazy, they like to party till daylight
On second thought if I can find a clean shirt I might

'Cause your woman's playin' games
And she says that you're to blame
You gotta keep on smilin'
Just keep on smilin'.
Keep on smilin' thru the rain
Laughin' at the pain
Just flowin' with the changes
Till the sun comes out again
Keep on smilin' thru the rain
Laughin' at the pain
Just flowin' with the changes
And singin' this refrain.
Singin' in a honkey tonk cafe
But nobody's hearin' what you play
They're too busy drinkin' anyway
You gotta keep on smilin'
Brother, keep on smilin'
Say you found a piece of land
You're gonna change from city boy
To country man, yeah
Try to build your life with your hands
And just keep on smilin'
Keep on smilin'
Keep on smilin' thru the rain
Laughin' at the pain
Just flowin' with the changes
Till the sun comes out again
Keep on smilin' thru the rain
Laughin' at the pain
Just flowin' with the changes
And singin' this refrain
You're just hangin' out
At a local bar
And you're wonderin'
Who the hell you are
Are you a farmer?
Are you a star?
Smile on through the rain
Laugh through all the pain
Flow on with the changes
Till the sun shines out again
Keep on smilin', smilin', laughin', laughin'
Flowin', flowin', flowin', flowin'

Somewhere In Your Heart
Somewhere In Your Heart
Composer(s): Clarence Keltner - Russell Faith
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Somewhere in your heart, try to find a place for me
Somewhere in your heart, I won't care where it might be
One little corner may not mean so much to you
But one little corner would be enough to see me through
Somewhere in your dreams, let my lips come close to you
Though they're only dreams, someday they may all come true
Is it so much to ask for such a tiny part?
Won't you find a place for me, somewhere in your heart?
(Somewhere in your dreams), let my lips come close to you
(Though they're only dreams), someday they may all come true
Is it so much to ask for such a tiny part?
Won't you find a place for me, somewhere in your heart?

If I Can Dream
If I Can Dream
Composer(s): Walter Earl Brown
First release: Elvis Presley - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true
There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
All the doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear
We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly
Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream, please let my dream
Come true, right now
Let it come true right now
Oh yeah

Keep On The Sunny Side
Composer(s): A.P. Carter; Gary Garett
Performer(s): The Carter Family;
and various other artists
Well there's a dark and a troubled side of life
There's a bright and a sunny side too
But if you meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we also may view
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
If we keep on the sunny side of life
Oh, the storm and its fury broke today
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear
Clouds and storms will in time pass away
The sun again will shine bright and clear
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life
Let us greet with a song of hope each day
Though the moments be cloudy or fair
Let us trust in our Saviour always
To keep us, every one, in His care
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

Why Try To Change Me Now
Why Try To Change Me Now
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
I'm sentimental
So I walk in the rain
I've got some habits
Even I can't explain
Could start for the corner
Turn up in Spain
But why try to change me now
I sit and daydream
I've got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes
There they go on the floor
I'll go away weekends
Leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now
Why can't I be more conventional
People talk
People stare
So I try
But that's not for me
Cause I can't see
My kind of crazy world
Go passing me by
So let people wonder
Let 'em laugh
Let 'em frown
You know I'll love you
Till the moon's upside down
Don't you remember
I was always your clown
Why try to change me now

If Heaven Ain't A Lot Like Dixie
If Heaven Ain't A Lot Like Dixie
Composer(s): Bill Maddox; D. Moore
Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.; Distillery Dave
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
I was one of the chosen few to be born in Alabam'
I'm just alike my Daddy, son, I'm proud of who I am
I went through a lot of good women, shook old Jim Beam's hand
If I never see the pearly gates, I've walked through the promised land
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
If they don't have a Grand Old Opry, like they do in Tennessee
Just send me to Hell or New York City, it would be 'bout the same to me
I got wild honey trees and crazy little weeds, growin' around my shack
These dusty roads ain't streets of gold, but I'm-a happy right where I'm at
All these pretty little Southern belles are a country boy's dream
They ain't got wings or halos, but they're sure lookin' good to me
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
If they don't have a Grand Old Opry, like they do down in Tennessee
Just send me to Hell or New York City, it would be 'bout the same to me
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
If they ain't got a Grand Old Opry, like they do in Tennessee
Just send me to Hell or New York City, it would be 'bout the same to me

You Must Believe In Spring
You Must Believe In Spring
((Adapted from: La Chanson De Maxence (Michel Legrand) - 1967))
Composer(s): Michel Legrand - Jacques Demy - Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman
Performer(s): Cleo Laine - 1973
and multiple other artists
When lonely feelings chill
The meadows of your mind
Just think if Winter comes
Can Spring be far behind?
Beneath the deepest snows
The secret of a rose
Is merely that it knows
You must believe in Spring!
Just as a tree is sure
Its leaves will reappear
It knows its emptiness
Is just the time of year
The frozen mountain dreams
Of April's melting streams
How crystal clear it seems
You must believe in Spring!
You must believe in love
And trust it's on its way
Just as the sleeping rose
Awaits the kiss of May
So in a world of snow
Of things that come and go
Where what you think you know
You can't be certain of
You must believe in Spring and love
So in a world of snow
Of things that come and go
Where what you think you know
You can't be certain of
You must believe in Spring and love

If He Walked Into My Life
If He Walked Into My Life
Dutch Title: Als Je Plotseling Voor Me Staat - 1968
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
Performer(s): Eydie Gorme - 1960
Mame:
Where is that boy with the bugle?
My little love was always my big romance
Where's that boy with the bugle?
And why did I ever buy him those damn long pants?
Did he need a stronger hand?
Did he need a lighter touch?
Was I soft or was I tough?
Did I give enough?
Did I give too much?
At the moment when he needed me
Did I ever turn away?
Would I be there when he called
If he walked into my life today
Were his days a little dull?
Were his nights a little wild?
Did I overstate my plan?
Did I stress the man?
And forget the child
And there must have been a million things
That my heart forgot to say
Would I think of one or two
If he walked into my life today
Should I blame the times I pampered him
Or blame the times I bossed him
What a shame!
I never really found the boy
Before I lost him
Were the years a little fast?
Was his world a little free?
Was there too much of a crowd?
All too lush and loud and not enough for me
Though I'll ask myself my whole life long
What went wrong along the way
Would I make the same mistakes
If he walked into my life today?
If that boy with the bugle
If he walked into my life today
Patrick:
Where is that girl with the promise?
The girl who tried to show me what love could be
Where is that girl with the promise?
And why do I feel the someone to blame is me?
Did she need a stronger hand?
Did she need a lighter touch?
Was I soft or was I tough?
Did I give enough?
Did I give too much?
At the moment that she needed me
Did I ever turn away?
Would I be there when she called
If she walked into my life today
Did she mind the lonely nights?
Did she count the empty days?
Was I silent, was I cold?
Was I quick to scold?
Was I slow to praise?
And there must have been a million things
That my heart forgot to say
Would I think of one or two
If she walked into my life today
Should I blame the times I pampered her
Or blame the times I bossed her
What a shame!
I never really found the girl
Before I lost her
Were the years a little fast?
Was her world a little free?
Was there too much of a crowd?
All too lush and loud and not enough for me
Though I'll ask myself my whole life long
What went wrong along the way
Would I make the same mistakes
If she walked into my life today?
If that girl with the promise
If he walked into my life today
