You Give Good Love


You Give Good Love
Composer(s): La La
Performer(s): Whitney Houston;
Evening Star Orchestra; Tim Eyermann;
Flavor; Spectrum; Dionyza Sutton



Hoo ooh
Hah ah
I found out what I've been missing
Always on the run
I've been looking for someone
Now you're here like you've been before
And you know just what I need
It took some time for me to see
That

You give good love to me
To me baby
So good take this heart into your hands
You give good love to me
Never too much will never be
Baby you give good love

Never stopping, I was always searching
For that perfect love
The kind that girls like me dream of
Now you're here like you've been before
And you know just what I need
It took some time for me to see that

You give good love to me
To me baby
So good take this heart into your hands
You give good love to me
Never too much will never be
Baby you give good love

Never, can't stop looking around
It's not what this love's all about
Our love is here to stay, to stay
Baby, You give good love

You give good love to me
To me baby
So good take this heart into your hands
You give good love to me
Never too much will never be
Baby you give good love

You give good love baby
You give good love darling
You give you give baby
You give good love honey

That's What I Call Sweet Music


That's What I Call Sweet Music
Performer(s): Paul Specht and His Orch.



Hear that music, isn't it sweet?
Come on, baby, shake your feet

I don't care for operas grand
But when my sweetie says "Hold my hand"
That's what I call sweet music

Classic songs I never would miss
But when my sweetie says "Come on, let's kiss"
That's what I call sweet music
Bah-dah

I know all the little birds, the bees
Up in the trees, sing melodies
But the pretty songs they sing don't mean a thing
When sweetie coos sweet nothing

You may like your rhapsody blue
But when my sweetie says "I love you"
That's what I call
That's what I call sweet music

Baby, it's been hard for me since you've been gone
But you left me with the strength to carry on
Though it hurts so much, I've accepted the fact we're through
'Cause the greatest gift in life I got from you

Chorus:
Baby, baby, you gave me somebody to love
You gave me somebody to love
Wo wo, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Memories of nights when we stayed out till dawn
& every time we kissed, a brand new world was born
Baby, it's all right; go & do what you gotta do
'Cause the greatest gift in life I got from you

(chorus)

Oh darlin', it's all right; go on, do what you gotta do
'Cause the greatest gift in life I got from you

Summer And Lightning


Summer And Lightning
Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra



I have waited
For your love
For so long
How do I go on?
I have told you
So many times
It's no good
You're treating me so wrong

Out there so far away
Above the sky will say
For you...
Here it comes again
It's all around me
It must be magic
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I can see you
In my mind
The lost time
That you're saving
I could reach out
And touch you
What can I do?
The sun ain't shining

Out there so far away
Above the sky will say
For you...
Only for you

Here it comes again (summer and lightning)
It's all around me (summer and lightning)
It must be magic (summer and lightning)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Here it comes again

Here it comes again (summer and lightning)
It's all around me (summer and lightning)
It must be magic (summer and lightning)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Here it comes again (summer and lightning)
I can feel it (summer and lightning)
It's all around me (summer and lightning)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You Gave Me Love


You Gave Me Love
Composer(s): Claire Cloninger; Archie Jordan
Performer(s): B.J. Thomas



You gave me time when no one gave me time of day
You looked deep inside while the rest of the world looked away
You smiled at me when there were just frowns everywhere
You gave me love when nobody gave me a prayer

Chorus:
That's why I call You Saviour ..... that's why I call You Friend
You touched my heart .....
You touched my soul
And helped me start all over again
That's why I love You, Jesus ..... that's why I'll always care
You gave me love when nobody gave me a prayer

You gave me laughter after I cried all my tears
You heard my dreams while the rest of the world closed it's ears
I looked in Your eyes, and I found the tenderness there
You gave me love when nobody gave me a prayer

Chorus:
That's why I call You Saviour ..... that's why I call You Friend
You touched my heart .....
You touched my soul
And helped me start all over again
That's why I love You, Jesus ..... that's why I'll always care
You gave me love when nobody gave me a prayer

That Sly Old Gentleman From Featherbed Lane


That Sly Old Gentleman From Featherbed Lane
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James V. Monaco
Performer(s): Bing Crosby



That sly old gentleman, from Featherbed Lane
He's watching you, he's peeking through your windowpane

He's sprinkled sand from the stars
That glistens and gleams
He'll sprinkle your eyes with dreams

He'll make your little heart so happy and gay
You'll ride a rocking horse along the Milky Way
Why stay awake? ... Better take that slumber train
With that sly old gentleman from Featherbed Lane...

You Gave Me A Mountain


You Gave Me A Mountain
Composer(s): Marty Robbins
Performer(s): Johnny Bush;
and various other artists



Born in the heat of the desert
My mother died givin' me life
Deprived of the love of a father
Blamed for the loss of his wife
You know Lord I've been in a prison
For something that I've never done
It's been one hill after another
And I've climbed them all one by one

Oh but this time Lord you gave me a mountain
A mountain you know I may never climb
It isn't just a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time

My woman got tired of the heartaches
Tired of the grief and the strife
So tired of working for nothing
Just tired of being my wife
She took my one ray of sunshine
She took my pride and my joy
She took my reason for living
She took my small baby boy

Yeah but this time Lord you gave me a mountain
A mountain I may never climb
It isn't a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time
Yeah Lord, You gave me a mountain
Don't you know
You gave me a mountain this time

Blame It On The Mistletoe


Blame It On The Mistletoe
Composer(s): Toby Keith
Performer(s): Toby Keith; Eric Hancock



The middle of December ain't the time to be alone
It's just too close to Christmas and too far to go home
I ran into a friend of a friend, standing in the checkout line
She said, "I've spent too much already and there's gifts I just can't find"
I walked her home and when she opened up her door
Oh, I'm not sure what happened then, guess magic took it's course

Blame it on the mistletoe, 'cause what happened here nobody knows
How could something simple as a kiss change my holiday like this
And we held each other all night long, and we fell asleep to a Christmas song
Playin' on the radio, blame it on the mistletoe

I woke up, she was wrappin' gifts beneath the tree
She said, I know it's early, so I thought I'd let you sleep
Then she insisted I get up and take a look outside
Hey sleepyhead, it must have snowed at least a foot last night
That's when I saw it hangin' up above my head
She threw her arms around my neck, laughin' as she said

Blame it on the mistletoe, 'cause what happened here nobody knows
How could something simple as a kiss change my holiday like this
And we held each other all night long and we fell asleep to a Christmas song
Playin' on the radio, blame it on the mistletoe

You Forgot Your Gloves


You Forgot Your Gloves
Composer(s): Edward Eliscu; Ned Lehac
Performer(s): Janet Brace;
Carole Simpson; Jeri Southern; Paul Specht



You forgot your gloves
When you kissed me and said, "Good-night"
So I've brought them, you see
But don't thank me
It's quite all right

You forgot your gloves
And I hope you appreciate
I'm not honest at all
It's just a stall
For one more date

What a souvenir to steal from you
And conceal from you, but then
There's a chance if you receive them, Dear
That you'll leave them, Dear, again

Now forget your heart
If you're really the kind who loves
Then you'll part with it, too
The way that you forgot your gloves

Summer '68


Summer '68
Composer(s): Richard Wright
Performer(s): Pink Floyd; Rosebud



Would you like to something before you leave?
Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel
We say goodbye before we've said hello
I hardly even like you
I shouldn't care at all
We met just six hours ago
The music was too loud
From your bed I came today and lost a bloody year
And I would like to know, how do you feel?
How do you feel?

Not a single word was said
They lied still without fears
Occasionally you showed a smile, but what was the need?
I felt the cold far too soon in a wind of ninetyfive
My friends are lying in the sun, I wish I was there
Tomorrow brings another town, another girl like you
Have you time before you leave to greet another man
Just to let me know, how do you feel?
How do you feel?

Goodbye to you
Childish bangles too
I've had enough for one day

You Forget To Answer


You Forget To Answer
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico



When I remember what to say
When I remember what to say
You will know me again
And you forget to answer

When I remember what to say
When I remember what to say
You will know me again
And you forget to answer

You seem not to be listening
You seem not to be listening
The high tide is taking everything
And you forget to answer

When I remember what to say
When I remember what to say
You will know me again
And you forget to answer

Summer (The First Time)


Summer (The First Time)
Composer(s): Bobby Goldsboro
First release by: Bobby Goldsboro - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



It was a hot afternoon
Last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One-ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming
I told Billy-Ray
In his red Chevrolet
I needed time for some thinking
I was just walking by
When I looked in her eye
And I swore it was winking

She was 31 and I was 17
I knew nothing about love, she knew everything
When I saw down beside her on the front porch swing
And wondered what the coming night would bring

The sun closed her eyes
As it climbed in the sky
And it started to swelter
The sweat trickled down the front of her gown
And I thought it would melt her

She through back her hair
Like I wasn't there
And she sipped on a julep
Her shoulders were bare
And I tried not to stare
When I looked at her lips

And when she looked at me
I heard her softly say
I know you're young
You don't know what to do or say
But stay with me until the sun has gone away
And I will chase the boy in you away

And then she smiled and we talked for a while
And we walked for a mile to the sea
We sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand
But I saw the sun rise as a man

Ten years have gone by
Since I looked in her eye
But the memory lingers
I got back in my mind
To the very first time
And feel the touch of her fingers

It was a hot afternoon
Last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One-ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming...

You were the girl that changed my world
You were the girl for me
You lit the fuse, I stand accused
You were the first for me
But you turned me out, baby!

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me! (But you turned me on, baby!)
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me!

You were my thrills, you were my pills
You dropped a bomb on me!
You turn me out, you turn me on
You turned me loose, then you turned me wrong!

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me! (But you turned me on, baby)
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me!

Just like Adam and Eve, said you’d set me free
You took me to the sky, I’d never been so high!
You were my pills, you were my thrills
You were my hope, baby, you were my smoke
You dropped a bomb, hey, babe!

You dropped a bomb on me, baby!
You dropped a bomb on me! (But you turned me out, baby!)

You dropped a bomb on me, baby!
You dropped a bomb on me!

We were in motion, felt like an ocean
You were the girl for me
You were the first explosion, turned out to be corrosion!
You were the first for me
But you turned me out, baby!

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me!(Whoa...whoa...oh...oh...baby!)
You dropped a bomb on me, baby!
You dropped a bomb on me! (I won’t forget what you done to me, babe!)

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me!
You dropped a bomb on me, baby!
You dropped a bomb on me!

I, I-I,
I-I-I won’t forget it!
I, I-I,
I-I-I won’t forget it!

You dropped a bomb on me, baby,
You dropped a bomb on me!
You dropped a bomb on me, baby!
You dropped a bomb on me!

(synthesizer solo)

I, I-I,
I-I-I won’t forget it!
I, I-I,
I-I-I won’t forget it!

You turned me out, you turned me on
And then you dropped me to the ground!
You dropped a bomb on me!
You turned me out, you turned me on
And then you dropped me to the ground!
You dropped a bomb on me!

You turned me out, then you turned me on!
You dropped a bomb on me!
You turned me out, then you turned me on
You dropped a bomb on me!

You turned me out (I!), then you turned me on! (I-I!)

You turned me out, then you turned me on, (Baby!)
You dropped a bomb on me! (Then you turned me on, babe!)
You turned me out, then you turned me on, (You dropped a bomb on me, baby!)
You dropped a bomb on me!

Summer


Summer
Composer(s): Thomas Allen - Harold Brown - B.B. Dickerson - Jerry Goldstein - Lonnie Jordan - Charles Miller
Performer(s): War



Ridin' 'round town with all the windows down
Eight track playin' all your fav'rite sounds
The rhythm of the bongos fill the park
The street musicians tryin' to get a start

'Cause it's summer
Summer time is here
Yes it's summer
My time of year
Yes it's summer
My time of year

Stretched out on a blanket in the sand
Kids of all ages diggin' Disneyland
Rappin' on the C.B. radio in your van
We'll give a big "ten four" to the truckin' man

'Cause it's summer
Summer time is here
Yes it's summer
My time of year
Yes it's summer
My time of year

Young boys playin' stick ball in the street
Fire hydrants help to beat the heat
Old man feeding pigeons in the square
Nighttime finds young lovers walking there

'Cause it's summer
Summer time is here
Yes it's summer
My time of year
Yes it's summer
My time of year

In Atlantic City or out in Malibu
Or any where between, I'm telling you
When you feel those balmy breezes on your face
Summer time is the best time any place

'Cause it's summer
Summer time is here
Yes it's summer
My time of year
Yes it's summer
My time of year

You Drive Me Crazy
Composer(s): Ronnie Harwood
Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens



You know baby when you're in my arms
I can feel your magic touch
You drive me crazy
You drive me crazy

And when I'm looking in those big blue eyes
I start flowing down in paradise
You drive me crazy
You drive me crazy

Heaven must have sent you down
Down for me to give me a thrill
Everytime you touch me, everytime you hold me
My heart starts beating like a train on a track

I love you baby and it's plain to see
I love you honey it was made to be
You drive me crazy
You drive me crazy (...guitar solo...)

Heaven must have sent you down
Down for me to give me a thrill
Everytime you touch me, everytime you hold me
My heart starts beating like a train on a track

I love you baby and it's plain to see

You drive me crazy
You drive me crazy

You drive me crazy
You drive me crazy
You drive me crazy

You Don't Want My Love


You Don't Want My Love
Composer(s): Roger Miller
Performer(s): Roger Miller; Andy Williams



In the summertime
When all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love

"Some other time"
That's whatcha say when I want you
Then you laugh at me and make me cry
'Cause you don't want my love

You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me
Than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone

In the summertime
When all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love

Once upon a time
You used to smile and wave to me
And walk with me but now you don't
'Cause you don't want my love

Some other guy
Is takin' up all your time
Now ya don't have any time for me
'Cause you don't want my love

You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me
Than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone

In the summertime
When all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love

In the summertime
When all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love

Sultans Of Swing


Sultans Of Swing
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
First release by: Dire Straits - 1978



You get a shiver in the dark
It's been raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
You feel all right when you hear that music ring
You step inside but you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Too much competition too many other places
But not too many horns can make that sound
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
And an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright
He can play honky tonk just like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call rock and roll
And the Sultans played Creole
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
'Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home'
and he makes it fast with one more thing
'We are the Sultans of Swing'

You Don't Seem To Miss Me
Composer(s): Jim Lauderdale
Performer(s): Patty Loveless;
George Jones; Los Bubbadinos



It's a long way off from where I should be going
and overtime, I hate to leave your side
but now when I return, there's something missing
When I'm gone you don't seem to miss me

Duet:
Now life's so fast and everything is changing'
and if your changing too, then I don't blame you
remember how you used to kiss me
but when I'm gone you don't seem to miss me

Chorus:
I'm going back, I wonder why, I'm running fast to get home
I just can't wait to see your face but you
don't seem to miss me

Duet:
No one can take away the things you've given
and all the good we've had alone together
There was a time when you could not resist me
Now I'm gone and you don't seem to miss me

Chorus:

I can't wait to see your face but you don't seem to miss me
