It's all because of you
I'm feeling sad and blue
You went away
Now my love is just a rainy day
I love you so
How much you'll never know
You've gone away and left me lonely

Untouchable memories
Seemed to keep haunting me
Of love so true
That once turned all my gray skies blue
But you disappeared
Now my eyes are filled with tears
I'm wishin' you were here with me
Soft with love are my thoughts of you
Now that you're gone
I don't know what to do

If only you were here
You'd wash away my tears
The sun would shine
And once again you'll be mine all mine
But in reality
Your love will never be
'Cause you took your love away from me
Hoooo-ooooh-ooooh

If only you were here
You'd wash away my tears
The sun would shine
And once again you'll be mine all mine
But in reality
Your love will never be
'Cause you took your love away from me
Hoooo-ooooh, baby
You took your love away from me

You Don't Love Me Anymore


You Don't Love Me Anymore
Composer(s): Weird Al Yankovic
Performer(s): Weird Al Yankovic



We've been together for so very long
But now things are changing, oh I wonder what's wrong?
Seems you don't want me around
The passion is gone and the flame's died down

I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem
That time that you made it with the whole hockey team
You used to think I was nice
Now you tell all your friends that I'm the Antichrist

Oh, why did you disconnect the breaks in my car?
That kind of thing is hard to ignore
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

I knew that we were having problems when
You put those piranhas in my bathtub again
You're still the light of my life
Oh darling, I'm beggin', won't you put down that knife?

You know, I even think it's kinda cute the way
You poison my coffee just a little each day
I still remember the way that you laughed
When you pushed me down that elevator shaft

Oh, if you don't mind me asking, what's this poisonous cobra
Doing in my underwear drawer?
Sometime I get to thinking you don't love me any more

You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill
Now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will
You set my house on fire
You pulled out my chest hairs with an old pair of pliers

Oh, you think that I'm ugly and you say that I'm cheap
You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep
You drilled a hole in my head
Then you dumped me in a drainage ditch and left me for dead

Oh, you know this really isn't like you at all
You never acted this way before
Honey, something tells me you don't love me any more, oh no no
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

(approximately 10 minutes and 2 seconds of silence)

(some loud and spontaneous noises)

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes


Suite: Judy Blue Eyes
Composer(s): Stephen Stills
Performer(s): Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
and multiple other artists



It's getting to the point where I'm no fun any more
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud
I am lonely
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Remember what we've said, and done
And felt about each other
Oh, babe, have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Tearing yourself away from me now, you are free
And I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you, I do, that's forever
Yes, and for always

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Something inside is telling me that I've got your secret
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock, and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
And you make it hard
And you make it hard
And you make it hard

Friday evening
Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose?
Tuesday morning
Please be gone, I'm tired of you
What have you got to lose?

Can I tell it like it is?
Help me I'm suffering
Listen to me baby
It's my heart that's suffering
Help me, I'm crying to you
It's dyin' and that's what I have to lose

I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?
Will you come see me
Thursdays and Saturdays
What have you got to lose?

Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing a song, don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow

Voices of the angels
Ring around the moonlight
Asking me, said she so free
How can you catch the sparrow?

Lacy lilting lady
Losing love lamenting
Change my life, make it right
Be my lady

Suite Madame Blue


Suite Madame Blue
Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung
Performer(s): Styx; Sylvain Cossette



Time after time I sit and I wait for your call
I know I'm a fool but why can I say
Whatever the price I'll pay for you, Madame Blue
Once long ago, a word from your lips and the world turned around
But somehow you've changed, you're so far away
I long for the past and dream of the days with you, Madame Blue

Suite Madame Blue, gaze in your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Suite Madame Blue, the future is all but past
Dressed in your jewels, you made your own rules
You conquered the world and more ..............heaven's door

America....America...America..America..
America....America...America..America..
America....America...America..America..

Red white and blue, gaze in your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Red, white, and blue, the future is all but past
So lift up your heart, make a new start
And lead us away from here

Composer(s): Paul Burton;
George Burton; Paul Hampton
Performer(s): Ral Donner;
Big Jim Sullivan; Wayne Newton; Del Shannon



You don't know what you've got until you lose it
You gave me you-your love but I abused it
And now I'm sorry for the things I didn't say
`cause I know now I acted in a foolish way
(oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah

You don't know what you've got until you lose it
You gave me you-your love but I misused it
I never knew how lonely loneliness could be
And now I need you, dear, as you once needed me
(oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah

So now if you'd come to this lonely heart you own
I'd give you all my lovin' like you've never known
(bung, bung, bung, bung)

You don't know what you've got until you lose it
You gave me you-your love but I misused it
And now I'm sorry for the things I didn't say
`cause I know now I acted in a foolish way
(oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah

Theme from M*A*S*H (Suicide Is Painless)


Theme from M*A*S*H (Suicide Is Painless)
Composer(s): Mike Altman - Johnny Mandel
First release by: The Mash - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realise and I can see that

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

I try to find a way to make
All our little joys relate
Without that ever-present hate
But now I know that it's too late, and

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The game of life is hard to play
I'm going to lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say, that

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
And to another give my seat
For that's the only painless feat

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger; watch it grin! and

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
Oh I replied, oh why ask me? 'cause

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

And you can do the same thing if you please

You Don't Know What Love Is


You Don't Know What Love Is
Composer(s): Gene DePaul; Don Raye
Performer(s): Dinah Washington;
and various other artists



You don't know what love is
until you've learned the meaning of the Blues
Until you've loved a love you had to lose
You don't know what love is

You don't know how lips burn until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is

Do you know how a lost heart fears the thought of reminiscing?
And lips that taste of tears lose their taste for kissing

You don't know how hearts ache for love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is
You don't know what love is

You Don't Know Me


You Don't Know Me
Composer(s): Cindy Walker; Eddy Arnold
Performer(s): Jerry Vale;
and various other artists



You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And I can hardly speak, my heart is beating so
And anyone could tell, you think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend, that's all I've ever been
No, you don't know me

For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me and then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
To never, never know the one who loves you so
No, you don't know me

You Don't Know Love


You Don't Know Love
Composer(s): Rebecca Foster; Donald Lewis King
Performer(s): Janie Fricke; Richard Clayderman



You don't know the meaning of uncontrolled desire
You were always hanging just above the fire
Now and then you come close enough to just stay warm
And you think that you win 'cause you never give in
Because you've never been burned
Ah, but you're gonna learn

That you don't know love 'til it's chilled you to the bone
Turned you inside out, left you all alone
You don't know love 'til you've watched it die and then
You have to try again, you don't know love

Like a child you wander out into the storm
You defy the thunder, but the lightning keeps you warm
The innocence you show is something I'd like to know
And I'm feeling that I'm finally crossing the line
But I won't be alone
Yes, I've known all along

No, you don't know love 'til it's chilled you to the bone
Turned you inside out, left you all alone
You don't know love 'til you've watched it die and then
You have to try again, you don't know love

Sugarolly Mountains


Sugarolly Mountains
Performer(s): Jim Diamond



Here I go again
Looking back on yesterday
Oh the games we played, Oh the innocence
The sun it always seemed to shine
Autumn spring right through winter time
Oh and my family and friends of mine,
Filled me so full of confidence
And oh and run like the wind
Free at last my young heart would sing

I lived my dreams out on, the sugarolly mountains
While looking down on mo mean city, way below
So many dreams up on, the sugarolly mountains
One day I'd be a rock and roll singer
The next I'd be building boats

And turning back another page
The school yard and the football game
Oh how we laughed through the purple haze
Playing on the radio
Arithmatic geography, They all just seemed to sail by me
I just thank God for the poetry
And that ringing bell I called liberty yeah
And oh I'd run like the wind
Free at last my young heart would sing yeah

And when you world is closing in
You've got no place to hide
Just close your eyes, count to ten
Climb on up and stake your claim

You don't know like I know
What that woman has done for me
In the morning, she's my water
In the evening, she's my cup of tea

As long as I live
Wherever trouble lies
I go to her, and like a miracle
Everything just turns out right

You don't know like I know
What that woman has done for me
She brings her lovin' home now,
Just the way it's supposed to be

What she want, she can get
Tender loving
Well she's ready
Yeah she's ready
Yeah she's ready and willing

(bridge)

As long as I live
Wherever trouble lies
I go to her, and like a miracle
Everything just gets alright

You don't know like I know

In the morning, she's my water
In the evening, she's my cup of tea

Nobody knows

Sugaree
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Robert Hunter
First release by: Grateful Dead - 1976



When they come to take you down When they bring that wagon 'round
When they come to call on you and drag your poor body down

Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me

You thought you was the cool fool and never could do no wrong
Had everything sewed up tight. How come you lay awake all night long

Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me

Well in spite of all you gained you still had to stand out in the pouring rain
One last voice is calling you and I guess it's time you go

Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me

Well shake it up now Sugaree, I'll meet you at the jubilee

Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me

Although I love you so
Oh you don't know
You don't know just how I feel
For my love I daren't reveal
I am so, I'm so afraid
You might not care
Every time you pass me by
Oh you don't know, you don't know
What I go through
Seeing someone else with you
Oh I wish the one with you, were me
But you don't know

I would tell you, if I believed
That you might care some day
But until then I'll never give this away
So a secret it must stay
And you don't know, you don't know
How hard to bear
Is this one way love affair
For it breaks my heart to be in love
When you don't know

I would tell you, if I believed
That you might care some day
But until then I'll never give this away
So a secret it must stay
And you don't know, you don't know
How hard to bear
Is this one way love affair
For it breaks my heart to be in love
When you don't know

Jim Pons; John Seiter; Mark Volman
Performer(s): The Turtles



I looked at your face; is that the face I love?
It's been a long time since I've seen you
You've got a lovely place; the kids must send their love
We stood there lonely, baby, without you

Chorus:
And girl, you don't have to walk in the rain
'Cause baby, I know things can be just the same as before
When you walk through my door, you'll be home, girl
When you walk through my door, you'll be home

I was so afraid I almost turned away
But you know I need somebody to cling to
I looked at your face; I love you anyway
It's been a long time since I've seen you

(chorus twice, then repeat its 1st line & fade)

You Don't Have To Say You're Sorry


You Don't Have To Say You're Sorry
Composer(s): Patti Austin
Performer(s): Patti Austin; Vanessa Williams;
Freddy Cole; Cafe Soul All Stars; Chico Freeman



You don't have to say you're sorry
We all make mistakes, I've made my share, oh
You don't have to say you're sorry
I don't need those words to know you care

Explanations aren't required
Even though you think you should
I don't need to know the reasons
No, not even if they're good
You don't have to say you're sorry
But I sure do wish you would

You don't have to say you're sorry
And that's a silly game that children play, oh
You don't have to say you're sorry, no
No, you shouldn't have to live that way

You don't have to say you're sorry
Cause we're both too old it's true
Well they say when you love someone
Forgiveness is the rule
You don't have to say you're sorry
But I sure do wish you would

Explanations aren't required
Even though you think you should
I don't need to know the reasons
No, not even if they're good
You don't have to say you're sorry
But I sure do wish you would, I wish you would
