You'll Be In My Heart


You'll Be In My Heart
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins;
and various other artists



Come stop your crying it will be alright
Just take my hand, hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here, don't you cry
For one so small you seem so strong
My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm
This bond between us, can't be broken
I will be here, don't you cry

Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes you'll be in my heart
From this day on, now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart always..

Why can't they understand the way we feel?
They just don't trust, what they can't explain
I know we're different but, deep inside us
We're not that different at all

Don't listen to them, what do they know?
We need each other to have to hold
They'll see in time...i know...
When destiny calls you, you must be strong (you gotta be strong)
I might not be with you, but you got to hold on
They'll see in time..I know...
We'll show them together cuz

You'll be in my heart (You'll be here in my heart)
no matter what they say (I'll be with you)
You'll be here in my heart (I'll be there) always..
always...I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always, always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there always....

Sweet Thang


Sweet Thang
Composer(s): Nat Stuckey
First release by: Nat Stuckey - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



I slipped out of the house about sundown while mama was a washin' her hair
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come lookin' for me
When she finds that I'm not there
And if she catches her sweet thang runnin' around
I know there'll be the devil to pay
She'll come blowin' like a cyclone right through that door
And I can hear exactly what she'll say
Well has anybody here see sweet thang I got a notion he'll be headed this a way
Cause when my sweet thang is out tomocattin' around
He finds a sandbox like this to play
I wanna tell all you barroom roses if my sweet thang does have a bite
You'd better take my advice and if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have somethin' in your eyes

I gave my baby all my money on payday except a little she don't know that I got
Cause there's a cute little waitress at the corner cafe
And she seems to like me quite a lot
While we were sittin' in the back booth a havin' a talk
She believed in every word that I said
When the door blew open Loretta walked in yellin' loud enough to wake the dead
Well has anybody here see sweet thang...
You'd better take my advice...

You'll Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties


You'll Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties
Composer(s): Jona Lewie; K. Trussell
Performer(s): Jona Lewie



I'm no good at chatting up and I always get rebuffed
Enough to drive a man to drink I don't do no washing up
I always reached the stuff piled up
a-piled up in the sink

But you will always find him in the kitchen at parties

Me and my girlfriend we argued and she ran away from home
She must have found somebody new and now I'm all alone

Living in my own. What am I supposed to do?

That's why always find him in kitchen at parties
you will always find him in the kitchen at parties
You will always find him in the kitchen at parties

Then I met this debutante I said I like new wave rock
She was into french cuisine but I ain't no cordon bleu
This was at some do in palmers green
I had no luck with her

You will still find him in kitchen at parties
You will still find him in kitchen at parties

At last I met a pretty girl she laughed and talked with me
We both walked out of the kitchen and dnaced in a new way

And now I've done my time in the kitchen at parties
I've done my time in the kitchen at parties

He's done his time in the kitchen at parties
He's done his time in the kitchen at parties

Sweet Tequila Blues


Sweet Tequila Blues
Composer(s): Chip Taylor
Performer(s): Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez



I keep lookin for it, I hope I never find it
If I get close to it just put me on a train
And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town
I got them sweet tequila blues comin' down

I knew a man with money in his hand
He'd look that Jack of Diamonds in the eye
Place it on the four an' let the seven close the door
Take all them chips and lay right down and cry

An' I keep lookin for it, I hope I never find it
If I get close to it just put me on a train
And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town
Got them sweet tequila blues comin' down

Take it Jock

Here comes Carrie

An' I knew a girl who thought she had the world
With a slightly racing Spanish lullaby
When her dream came into town she threw the whole damn thing around
Some Texas girls just love to say goodbye

An' I keep lookin for it, I hope I never find it
If I get close to it just put me on a train
And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town
Got them sweet tequila blues comin' down

We'll break it now

Now here's one for the ladies
Baby, where is my Mercedes?
Girl, I'm waitin' for the ribbons and the bows
Just keep me guessin'; oh baby, I'm confessin'
I know, you want two of them and three of those

An' I keep lookin for it, I hope I never find it
If I get close to it just put me on a train
And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town
I got them sweet tequila blues comin' down

Texas blues

And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town
I got them sweet tequila blues comin' down
Got them sweet tequila blues comin' down

You'll Always Find A Lot Of Sunshine In My Old Kentucky Home


You'll Always Find A Lot Of Sunshine In My Old Kentucky Home
Composer(s): Lew Brown; Rubey Cowan



Oh! the blues have flown away because
I'm going home today To Kentucky
I'll be lucky when I'm back again
Oh! the humming of the bees, and the birdies in the trees
Make me happy, oh, so happy with their melodies

Oh! I rise at early morn and help to plow the fields of corn
Then I wander 'way down yonder to my sweetie Sue
All the boys around the farm, how they rave about her charm
They're so jealous, oh, so jealous when she's holding my arm

You'll always find a lot of sunshine, in my old Kentucky home
In the southern atmosphere
All your worries disappear
You hear the darkies 'neath the trees, playing old time melodies
And they croon a little tune of my old Kentucky home
You'll always find a lot of sunshine, when my dear old mother's near
My sweetie Sue she's just a little bunch of sunshine, too
And if you go down there midst all that splendor
Stop! Look! I know you'll surrender, to the sunshine of my old Kentucky home

Composer(s): Doug Morris - Eliot Greenberg

Sweet talking guy, talking sweet kinda lies
Don't you believe in him, if you do he'll make you cry
He'll send you flowers and paint the town with another guy
He's a sweet talkin' guy (sweet talkin' guy)
But he's my kind of guy (sweet talkin' guy)

You'll Accomp'ny Me


You'll Accomp'ny Me
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band



A gypsy wind is blowing warm tonight
The sky is starlit and the time is right
And still you're tellin' me you have to go
Before you leave there's something you should know
Yeah something you should know babe

I've seen you smiling in the summer sun
I've seen your long hair flying when you run
I've rnade my mind up that it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea
You're high above me now, you're wild and free ah but
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Some people say that love's a losin' game
You start with fire but you lose the flame
The ashes smolder but the warmth's soon gone
You end up cold and lonely on your own

I'll take my chances babe I'II risk it all
I'll win your love or I'II take the fall
I've made my mind up girl it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

It's written down some where, it's not to be
You're high above me flyin' wild and free
Oh but someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meetthe sounding sea
I feel it in my soul, it's meant to be
Oh someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Sweet Surrender (Tim Buckley)


Sweet Surrender
Composer(s): Tim Buckley
First release by: Tim Buckley - 1972



Now You Wanna Know The Reason
Why I Cheated On You
Well I Had To Be A Hunter Again
This Little Man Had To Try
To Make Love Feel New Again
'Cause There's Just A Few Things Honey
I'm Not Old Enough To Do For You
You Just Never Care To Show Me
Showed Him How To Tango
And When They Tangoed It'd Send Their Hearts A Flutter
Young And Tender
Seemed To Surrender In So Sweet Surrender
In Sweet Surrender
Ahh Sweet Surrender To Love
But Now You're Gonna Go Out And Get Yourself
A Reputation
But I'm Gonna Have To Show You Where To Start
And Then You're Gonna Bring Back Your Little Reputation
And Prove To Me What I Could Not Prove To You
Sweet surrender....

You'd Better Come Home


You'd Better Come Home
Composer(s): Georges Aber; Tony Hatch
Performer(s): Petula Clark



You'd better come home and stop your running around
You'd better come home and get your feet on the ground
'cause I won't share my love with anyone new

You'd better be smart, you've gotta make up your mind
Stop breaking my heart and leave the others behind
'cause I won't share my love whatever I do

The love that I give for as long as I live will be yours
And nothing can change the way that I feel
So, baby, come back to me (baby, come back to me)
Baby, come back to me (baby, come back to me)
Love me like you did before

You'd better come home and see the damage you've done
You'd better come home because you've had all your fun
And I won't share my love with anyone new
No-oh-no

The love that I give for as long as I live will be yours
And nothing can change the way that I feel
So, baby, come back to me (baby, come back to me)
Baby, come back to me (baby, come back to me)
Love me like you did before

You'd better come home and see the damage you've done
You'd better come home because you've had all your fun
And I won't share my love with anyone new
No-oh-no

I just want to share it with you

You'd better come home-o-ome

Sweet Surrender (Robert Gordon)


Sweet Surrender
Composer(s): Bob Feldman - Richard Gottehrer
Performer(s): Robert Gordon



Do you remember
The night we spent together
You came to me
In sweet surrender

No words were spoken
As your eyes met mine
Two hearts were opened
By love-burning fire

Sweet, sweet surrender
I'll never be the same
Sweet, sweet surrender
I'll never feel ashame
For wanting you
And loving you the way I do

I still remember
Your special smile
The look of love
As you walked down the aisle

I-I kissed your lips
Yeah and I wished you luck
I was the best man
Just not good enough

Sweet, sweet surrender
I'll never be the same
Sweet, sweet surrender
I'll never feel ashame
For wanting you
And loving you the way I still do

Sweet, sweet surrender
I'll never feel ashame
Sweet, sweet surrender
I'll never be the same

You'd Be Surprised
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe;
and various other artists



Johnny was bashful and shy, nobody understood why
Mary loved him, all the other girls passed him by
Every one wanted to know how she could pick such a beau
With a twinkle in her eye, she made this reply

He's not so good in a crowd, but when you get him alone
You'd be surprised
He isn't much at a dance, but then when he takes you home
You'd be surprised
He doesn't look like much of a lover, but don't judge a book by it's cover
He's got the face of an Angel, but there's a Devil in his eyes
He's such a delicate thing but when he starts in to squeeze
You'd be surprised
He doesn't look very strong but when you sit on his knee
You'd be surprised
At a party or at a ball I've got to admit he's nothing at all, but in a Morris chair
You'd be surprised

Mary continued to praise Johnny's remarkable ways
To the ladies, and you know advertising pays
Now Johnny's never alone, he has the busiest phone
Almost every other day a new girl will say

He's not so good in the house, but on a bench in the park
You'd be surprised
He isn't much in the light, but when he gets in the dark
You'd be surprised
I know he looks as slow as the Erie, but you don't know the half of it dearie
He looks as cold as an Eskimo, but there's fire in his eyes
He doesn't say very much, but when he starts in to speak
You'd be surprised
He's not so good at the start, but at the end of a week
You'd be surprised
On a streetcar or in a train, you'd think he was born without any brain
But in a taxi cab, and when he starts to grab, I say in a taxi cab
You'd be surprised
This one's a real danger!

----------


As sung by Johnny Ray:



He's not so good in a crowd
But when you get him alone
You'd be surprised
He isn't much at a dance
But then when he takes you home
You'd be surprised
He doesn't look like much of a lover
But don't judge a book by it's cover
He's got the face of an angel but
There's a devil in his eye
He's such a delicate thing
But when he starts to squeeze
You'd be surprised
He doesn't look very strong
But when you sit on his knees
You'd be surprised
At a party or at a ball
I've got to admit he's nothing at all
But in an easy chair
You'd be surprised

Sweet Surrender (Bread)


Sweet Surrender
Composer(s): David Gates
First release by: Bread - 1972



Baby I'm through, runnin' it's true
I'd be a fool to try to escape you
And maybe I'm beat
But oh what a sweet surrender

You keep your rights, I'll take your nights
No one can lose when we turn the lights out
And tastin' defeat, lovin' that sweet surrender

I'm givin' up myself to you
But I didn't really lose at all
I gained the only love I've known and it never
Hurt me to fall

Now that it's done, so glad you won
I know our lives have only begun
No more retreat, only my sweet surrender

Hmm baby, I admit defeat, but oh what a sweet surrender
Surrender, and you sweet thing in my life
I surrender to you

You'd be so nice to come home to
You'd be so nice by the fire
While the breeze on high sang a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire

Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burning above
You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
To come home to and love

Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burning above
You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
To come home to and love

Love Is Such A Sweet Surprise


Love Is Such A Sweet Surprise
Composer(s): C. Goodman - M.A. Kennedy - P. Rose
Performer(s): Telly Savalas



Do you know how wonderful you are

It pleases me so to have this chance to show you
In my dreams I've never been this far

They were only fantasies of what I thought love should be
Love is lonely learning low to care

To care enough
to take the time to share
And just when I thought that love had passed me by

I saw me
smiling in your eyes
Love is such a sweet surprise
I didn't know what I was searchin' for

I tried so hard to find what came so easy
Love's a gift you give and you'll get more
A magic shared by two and I would like to thank you
Love is a lonely learning how to care

And just when I thought that love had passed me by

I saw me
smiling in your eyes
Love is such a sweet surprise

Love is such a sweet surprise

Love is such a sweet surprise

Crazy about my substitute

You
are the colour blue
as I'm looking through, at the magic moon

let me know its true; I'm in love with youooooooo

as I'm looking through, at the moon
