I'm Gonna Make Hay While The Sun Shines In Virginia


I'm Gonna Make Hay While The Sun Shines In Virginia
Composer(s): Joe Young; Sam Lewis; Archie Gottler
Performer(s): Marion Harris



City people pity people living on the farm
I'm going home today 'Way down Virginia way'
You know my dad's a farmer
So is mamma
They live in a shack
If you think I'm grieving because I'm leaving
Try and hold me back

Howdy do there, how are you there
That's Virginia way, when they shake hands with you
Their hearts go with it too
I'm gonna send a wire
To the Squire
Here's just what I'll write
If the train don't show up
I will show up
Home tomorrow night

I'm gonna make hay while the sun shines in Virginia
The old folks need a lot of sunshine now
I'm gonna be a farmer in Virginia
I'll plant a kiss on mother's wrinkled brow (How I love her)
I'm gonna raise the mortgage from the homestead
I'll weed out all their sorrows and their tears
I'm gonna make hay while the sun shines in Virginia
I'm gonna brighten up their few remaining years

Every Man Has A Woman Who Loves Him


Every Man Has A Woman Who Loves Him
Composer(s): Yoko Ono
Performer(s): John Lennon; Yoko Ono



Every man has a woman who loves him
In rain or shine or life or death
If he finds her in this life time
He will know when he presses his ear to her breast
Why do I roam when I know you're the one
why do I laugh when I feel like crying?
Every woman has a man who loves her
Rise or fall of her life and death
if she finds him in this lifetime
She will know when she looks into his eyes
Why do I roam when I know you're the one
why do I run when I feel like holding you?
Every man has a woman who loves him
if he finds her in this lifetime
He will know

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic


Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): The Police;
and various other artists



Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

If your mind could walk would it bring me a love never ending

Every Little Move She Makes


Every Little Move She Makes
Composer(s): Roger Greenaway; Roger Cook; Tony Macaulay
Performer(s): Tony Burrows;
Edison Lighthouse; White Plains



I'm gonna tell this heart of mine
I've gotta find a way to just forget her
Gonna try and say, it's time to let her
Go her own sweet way

Ooh
(chorus)
But every little move she makes
Only takes my love a little closer
Any other guy who really knows her
Would feel the same way too
And every time she looks my way
I have to say I hear the music playing
Voices in my head that keep on saying
She's the one for you

Of all the other girls I've known
This one is in a class all on her own
And though I've tried, I've really tried
I just can't leave that girl alone
(hey)

(repeat chorus)

Of all the other girls I've known
This one is in a class all on her own
And though I've tried, I've really tried
I just can't leave that girl alone
(hey)

Every little move she makes
Only takes my love a little closer
Any other guy who really knows her
Would feel the same way too
(repeat)

I'm Gonna Lock My Heart (And Throw Away The Key)


I'm Gonna Lock My Heart (And Throw Away The Key)
Composer(s): Jimmy Eaton; Terry Shand
Performer(s): Billie Holiday
and multiple other artists



I'm gonna lock my heart and throw away the key
I'm wise to all those tricks you played on me
I'm gonna turn my back on love
I'm gonna snub the moon above
Seal all my windows up with tin
So the love bug can't get in
Gonna park my romance right along the kerb
Hang a sign upon my heart "please don't disturb"
And if I never fall in love again
That's soon enough for me
I'm gonna lock my heart and throw away the key

Every Little Moment


Every Little Moment
Composer(s): Vivian Ellis; George Newman



Every little moment I’m with you I’m happy
Every little moment without you I’m blue
Every little daydream, my dream is about you
Every little moment I’m thinking of you
You can make a day go by like a song
Or seem centuries long
Every little moment I’m lonely without you
Every little moment I only want you

Here and now, here we vow
I’ll attend, defend, befriend and love you
When you’re near I know dear you’re my beau, my Romeo
Your protector I’ll be
Soon the rector will see

Every little moment I’m with you I’m happy
Every little moment without you I’m blue
Every little daydream, I dream is about you
Every little moment I’m thinking of you

You can make a day go by like a song
Or seem centuries long
Every little moment I’m lonely without you
Every little moment I only want you

You can make a day go by like a song
Or seem centuries long

Every little moment I’m lonely without you
Every little moment I only want you

I'm Gonna Live Till I Die
Composer(s): Al Hoffman; Walter Kent; Mann Curtis
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



I'm gonna live till I die
I'm gonna laugh 'stead of cry
I'm gonna take the town and turn it upside down
I'm gonna live, live, live till I die

They're gonna say "What a guy!"
I'm gonna play for the sky
Ain't gonna miss a thing I'm gonna have my fling
I'm gonna live, live, live till I die

The blues 'll lay low I'll make 'em stay low
They'll never trail over my head
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel
But until then, Halelujah!
Gonna dance, gonna fly
I'll take a chance ridin' high
Before my number's up I'm gonna fill my cup
I'm gonna live, live, live, live, live until I die

I'm gonna live till I die
I'm gonna laugh 'stead of cry
I'm gonna take the town and turn it upside down
I'm gonna live, live, live till I die

They're gonna say "What a guy!"
I'm gonna play for the sky
Ain't gonna miss a thing I'm gonna have my fling
I'm gonna live, live, live till I die

The blues 'll lay low I'll make 'em stay low
They'll never trail over my head
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel
But until then, Halelujah!
Gonna dance, gonna fly
I'll take a chance ridin' high
Before my number's up I'm gonna fill my cup
I'm gonna live, live, live, live, live until I die

Every Little Kiss


Every Little Kiss
Composer(s): Bruce Hornsby
Performer(s): Bruce Hornsby; Sara Evans



Way out here, working on the docks
Everyone sees the long day through
Well what would I do without the nights and the phone
And the chance just to talk to you
What wouldn't I do now...
Just to talk to you
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
Little relief in sight
Someday when times weren't so tight

Chorus
When the day goes down on the water town
When the sun sinks low all around
That's when I know I need you now
You're what I miss
Every little kiss
Every little one, oh, every little one

Everybody here's a number, not a name
But I guess that's all right with me
As I sit alone after a long day
In the absence of company
Oh I let my mind wander...
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
Little relief in sight
Someday when times weren't so tight

Chorus

I'm Gonna Live The Life


I'm Gonna Live The Life
Composer(s): Nina Hagen; Brian Liesegang
Performer(s): Nina Hagen



I'm going to live the life
I sing about in my song
I'm going to stand for right
And always shun the wrong
If I'm in the crowd
Or if I'm alone
On the street or in my home
I'm going to live the life
I sing about in my song

Every day, everywhere
On that busy thoroughfare
Folk may watch me, some may spot me
Say I'm foolish, but I don't care
I can't sing one thing
And then live another
Be a saint by day
And a devil undercover
I'm going to live the life
I sing about in my song

I'm going to live the life
I sing about in my song
I'm going to stand for right
And always shun the wrong
If I'm in the crowd
Or if I'm alone
On the street or in my home
I'm going to live the life
I sing about in my song, yes!

Every day, every night
I must always walk in the light
Some mistake me, underrate me
Because I want to do what's right
I can't go to church
And shout all day Sunday
Go out and get drunk
And raise's all day monday (?)
I've got to live the life
I sing about in my song

I'm going to live the life
I sing about in my song
I'm going to live the life
I sing about in my song

Every Little Bit Hurts
Composer(s): Ed Cobb
Performer(s): The Spencer Davis Group;
and various other artists



Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every night I cry
Every night I sigh
Every night I wonder why
You treat me cold
But I can't let you go

Every little hurt counts
Every little hurt counts
Say you're coming home
But you never phone
Leave me all alone
My love is strong for you
I would do wrong for you

I can't take this loneliness
You're giving me
I Can't go on
Giving my life away

Come back to me
Darling you'll see
I can give you all the things
That you wanted before
If you'll stay

Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every night I cry
Every night I sigh
Every night I wonder why
You hurt me
Desert me

I can't take this lonliness
You're giving me
I can't go on
Giving my life away

Come back to me
Darling you'll see
I can give you all the things
That you wanted before
If you'll stay

Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every night I cry
Every night I sigh
Every night I wonder why
You treat me cold
But I can't let you go

Every little bit hurts
Every little bit

Composer(s): Aaron Schroeder; Sid Wayne
Performer(s): Eddie Hodges

I'm gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell
Tap on your window too
If you don't come out tonight when the moon is bright
I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do

I'm gonna knock on your door, call out your name
Wake up the town, you'll see
I'm gonna hoot, hoot and howl like a lovesick owl
Until you say you're gonna come out with me

Hey little girl, this ain't no time to sleep
Let's count kisses stead of counting sheep
How, how can I hold you near
With you up there and me down here

Tap on your window too
If you don't come out tonight when the moon is bright
I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do

Hey little girl, this ain't no time to sleep

How, how can I hold you near
With you up there and me down here

Every Kinda People


Every Kinda People
Composer(s): Andy Fraser
Performer(s): Robert Palmer;
and various other artists



Said the fight to make ends meet
Keeps a man upon his feet
Holding down his job
Trying to show he can't be bought

Ooh, it takes every kind of people
To make what life's about, yeah
Every kind of people
To make the world go 'round

Someone's looking for a lead
In his duty to a King or creed
Protecting what he feels is right
Fights against wrong with his life

There's no profit in deceit
Honest men know that
Revenge do not taste sweet
Whether yellow, black or white
Each and every man's the same inside

It takes every kind of people
To make what life's about, yeah
Every kind of people
To make the world go 'round

You know that love's the only goal
That could bring a peace to any soul
Hey, and every man's the same
He wants the sunshine in his name

Ooh, it takes every kind of people...

I'm Gonna Kiss Myself Goodbye
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Kaufman; Roberts
Performer(s): Bunny Berigan



I'm gonna kiss myself goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
I'm gonna get my wings and fly
Up high, up high

You went and broke my heart in two
Yes you, yes you
And when I'm gone you'll be so blue
'Cos who you gonna double cross, you rascal you

You kinda think that you'll get by
But by and by
You're gonna break right down and cry
You'll cry and cry

A good man's mighty hard to find
Better hurry up and change your mind
Before I hold me close, say farewell
And kiss myself goodbye

Every Fool Has A Rainbow


Every Fool Has A Rainbow
Composer(s): Merle Haggard
Performer(s): Merle Haggard; The Strangers



Every fool has a rainbow
But he never seems to find
The reward that should be waiting
At the end of the line
But he'll give up a bed of roses for
A life filled with thorns
And go chasing after rainbows
Everytime the dream is born
And every fool has a rainbow that only he can see
Every fool has a rainbow and the rule replies to me
And every fool has a rainbow that only he can see
Every fool has a rainbow and the rule replies to me

I'm Gonna Keep On


I'm Gonna Keep On
Composer(s): Bill Gaither
Performer(s): Bill Gaither & Gloria Gaither; Hovie Lister



Well it's as old as the Bible
The folks, they keep on searching
They're discouraged, downhearted
And worried 'bout their destiny

But there are too many answers
To keep on asking the same old questions
I found Jesus, and let me tell you
(Brother, that's enough for me)

I'm gonna keep on singing
And telling folks about Jesus
I'm going keep on writing
Mainly in the Major keys

I'm gonna keep on loving
And pointing folks to Calvary
I've found Jesus, and let me tell you
(Brother, that's enough for me)

Now, I know people who are frightened
About the future of our country
And they ask me if I'm frightened
About the market or the economy

But I've a pilot who has weathered
Every storm that ever happened
And if he sees that little sparrow

I'm gonna keep on singing
And telling folks about Jesus
I'm gonna keep on writing
Mainly in the Major keys

(I'm gonna keep on loving
And pointing my folks to Calvary
About Jesus, and let me tell you
Brother, that's enough for me)

(Oh, I've found Jesus
And let me tell you
Oh brother, that's enough for me)

Every Day Is A New Day


Every Day Is A New Day
Composer(s): Malik Pendelton;
Juanita Wynn; Tracey Anderson
Performer(s): Diana Ross



Every day is a new day
Since you went away

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me

You were my comfort zone
I depended on you for everything
I wanted in my life, yes I did

But now that you're gone
I'm doing just fine without you
How I bless the day you went away

Now I have a song inside
The birds sing to me
I finally can be
Free to spread my wings in harmony

Now the sun shines on me
I have been set free
To collect my thoughts and jot them down
All this happiness I've found
Since you've been away

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me

It may sound crazy, but I forgive you
And want the best for you
The circumstances came my way
Now I've learned to do for myself
And all the things I thought
That you would do for me
Like leaving me alone
To go for my own
When you're not at home
I'm glad you're gone

Now I have a song inside
The birds sing to me
I finally can be
Free to spread my wings in harmony

Now the sun shines on me
I have been set free
To collect my thoughts and jot them down
All this happiness I've found

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me
How I bless that day

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me

Every day

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me

I'm Gonna Hire A Wino To Decorate Our Home


I'm Gonna Hire A Wino To Decorate Our Home
Composer(s): DeWayne Blackwell
Performer(s): David Frizzell



I came crawling home last night, like many nights before
I finally made it to my feet as she opened up the door
And she said, "You're not gonna do this anymore"

She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home
So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam
We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall
And a neon sign, to point the way to our bathroom down the hall"

She said, "Just bring your Friday paycheck, and I'll cash them all right here
And I'll keep on tap, for all your friends, their favorite kinds of beer
And for you, I'll always keep in stock, those soft aluminum cans
And when you're feeling macho, you can crush them like a man"

She said, "We'll rip out all the carpet, and put sawdust on the floor
Serve hard boiled eggs and pretzels, and I won't cook no more
There'll be Monday night football on T.V. above the bar
And a pay phone in the hallway, when your friends can't find their car"

She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home
So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam
We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall
And a neon sign, to point the way to our bathroom down the hall"

She said, "You'll get friendly service, and for added atmosphere
I'll slip on something sexy, and I'll cut it clear to here
Then you can slap my bottom every time you tell a joke
Just as long as you keep tipping, well, I'll laugh until you're broke"

She said, "Instead of family quarrels, we'll have a bar-room brawl
When the Ham's bear say's its closing time, you won't have far to crawl
And when you run out of money, you'll have me to thank
You can sleep it off next morning, when I'm putting it in the bank"

She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home
So you can feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam
When you and your friends get off from work, and have a powerful thirst
There won't be any reason, why you can't stop off here first"

She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home
So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam
We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall
And a neon sign, to point the way to our bathroom down the hall"
