You Were Made For Me (Sam Cooke)
You Were Made For Me
Composer(s): Sam Cooke
Performer(s): Sam Cooke;
Luther Ingram; Catherine Russell;
Rocky Sharpe; Gene Stewart
A fish was made to swim in the ocean
A boat was made to sail on the sea
As sure as there is a God above
Darling, I know you were made for me
You were made for me
A grape was made for a vine
An apple was made to grow on a tree
As sure as there is a God above
Darling, I know you were made for me
We'll have our quarrels and you'll upset me
But what can I do
Oh you've been mine ever since I met you
And I'll never, never, never, never, never leave you
As sure as there's a heaven above me
From you I know I'll never be free
As sure as there is a God above
Darling, I know you were made for me

Sweet Little Buttercup
Sweet Little Buttercup
Composer(s): Alfred Bryan - Herman Paley
Will you miss me little Buttercup
Said a rustic lad one day
I must go away
And I must obey
Come and kiss me lift your two lips up
There now dearie don't you cry
Hear the bugles calling
It is time to say "Good Bye"
Stop your crying little Buttercup
Sang a little bird one night
Stars are shining bright
On his mantle white
Don't be sighing lift your spirit up
Soon he will be on his way
Hear the breezes sighing
Don't you hear them softly say
Sweet little Butter cup
Shy little Buttercup
Dry your eyes of blue
I'll come back to you
When the war is through
Safe in your sylvan dell
Far from the shot and shell
Let your lovelight shine
Angels guide you watch beside you
Sweet little Buttercup mine
Sweet little Butter cup
Shy little Buttercup
Dry your eyes of blue
I'll come back to you
When the war is through
Safe in your sylvan dell
Far from the shot and shell
Let your lovelight shine
Stars above you watch and love you
Sweet little Buttercup mine

You Were Made For Me (Freddie & The Dreamers)
You Were Made For Me
Composer(s): Brian Garrity; Mitch Murray
Performer(s): Freddie & The Dreamers;
Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Tell me then that you don't know
All the trees were made for little things that sing and fly
And the sun was made to burn so bright and light the sky-ee-y-ee-y
Pretty eyes were never made to cry, they were made to see
When I hold you in my arms I know that you were made for me
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Tell me then that you don't know
All the flowers in the field were made to please the bees
For the fishes swim to make the rivers run to the sea-ee-ee-ee-eas
Every hand was made to to hold another, tenderly
When I kissed you on your lips I knew that you were made for me
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Tell me then that you don't know
Da da daaa da da da da da daaa da daaa da daaaa
Da da daaa da da da da da daaa da daa de-da-de-da-de-da
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Tell me then that you don't know
Every hand was made to hold another, tenderly
When I kissed you on your lips I knew that
You were made
You were made
You were made for me

Sweet Leilani
Sweet Leilani
Composer(s): Harry Owens
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower
Nature fashioned roses kissed with dew
And then she placed them in a bower
It was the start of you
Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower
I dreamed of paradise for two
You are my paradise completed
You are my dream come true
Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower
Tropic skies are jealous as they shine
I think they're jealous of your blue eyes
Jealous because you're mine
Sweet Leilani, Heavenly flower
I dreamed of paradise for two
You are my paradise completed
You are my dream come true
You are my paradise completed
You are my dream come true

You Were Great, How Was I?
You Were Great, How Was I?
Composer(s): John Farrar; Tom Snow
Performer(s): Olivia Newton-John
I'll never learn
I cling to the past
I find so much there to lean on
But when I get lucky
I can even forget
Our now and forevers are gone
I know what you mean
I go there myself
When I feel the mood coming on
It comes on so easy
It's hard to believe
Our now and forevers are gone
When did we lose our starry eyes
The feeling's too strong to compromise
Something went wrong between hello and goodbye
Now it's too late
Love you were great, how was I?
I'm doing my best with somebody else
It's good to feel counted upon
It keeps me from sliding to where I forget
Our now and forevers are gone
When did we lose our starry eyes
The feeling's too strong to compromise
Something went wrong between hello and goodbye
Now it's too late
Love you were great, how was I?

Performer(s): Black Sabbath - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Alright Now!!
Won't you listen?
When I first met you, didn't realize
I can't forget you, for your suprize
you introduced me, to my mind
And left me wanting, you and your kind
Oh yeah!
I love you, Oh you know it
My life was empty forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear
Oh yeah!
Come on now, try it out
Straight people don't know, what your about
They put you down and shut you out
you gave to me a new belief
and soon the world will love you sweet leaf
Oh yeah baby!

You Wear It Well
You Wear It Well
Composer(s): Martin Quittenton; Rod Stewart
Performer(s): Rod Stewart
I had nothing to do
on this hot afternoon
but to settle down
and write you a line
I've been meaning to phone you
but from Minnesota
hell it's been a very long time
you wear it well
a little old fashioned
but that's all right
Well I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking
or he wouldn't get in touch with me
Oh I ain't begging or losing my head
I sure do want you to know that you wear it well
there ain't a lady in the land so fine
Remember those basement parties, your brother's karate
the all day rock and roll shows
Them homesick blues and radical view
haven't left a mark on you, you wear it well
a little out of time, but I don't mind
But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
but I blew it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out
tryin' to get a letter through
(tryin' to get back to you)
Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
when you sat down and cried on the stairs
You knew it did not cost the earth, but for what it's worth
You make me fell a millionaire and you wear it well
Madame Onassis got nothing on you
And when my coffee's cold and I'm getting told
that I gotta get back to work
so when the sun goes low and you're home all alone
think of me and try not to laugh and I'll wear it well
I don't object if you call collect
'cos I ain't forgetting that you were once mine

Sweet Kentucky Rose
Composer(s): Pat Noto
Performer(s): Kitty Kallen
Sweet Kentucky Rose
You're always in his heart
He dreams about you every day
Sweet Kentucky Rose
He's sorry you're apart
He never should have gone away
He'll be coming back
To hold you once again
And settle where the bluegrass grows
He'll build a little home
Then he will never roam
From his sweet Kentucky Rose
He dreams about you every day
He never should have gone away
He'll be coming back
To hold you once again
And settle where the bluegrass grows
He'll build a little home
Then he will never roam
From his sweet Kentucky Rose

Anyone who ever had a heart
Wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who's ever played a part
Wouldn't turn around and hate it

Waiting for Jimmy down by the alley
Waiting there for him to came home
Waiting down there on the corner
Thinking ways to get back home
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, oh, sweet, sweet Jane
Anyone who's ever had a dream
Anyone who's ever played a part
Anyone who's gonna live lonely
Anyone who's ever stood apart

Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to whisper to me, when you smile
nananana...
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, oh, sweet, sweet Jane

Margie Morris; Nat Osborne; George McConnell
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
I know that you wanted someone to play with
While I wanted someone to love
And you made me feel that your love was real

And then you laughed when I cried for your kisses
To me they meant heaven above
Oh, oh, oh you wanted someone to play with
While I wanted someone to love
(Oh, you wanted someone to play)

And you made me feel that your love was real
The love that I always dreamed of
And then you laughed when I cried for your kisses
To me they meant heaven above
Oh, oh, oh you wanted someone to play with
While I wanted, while I wanted someone to love

Colorado Christmas
Colorado Christmas
Composer(s): Steve Goodman
Performer(s): The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; Steve Goodman; Petty Booka
Looking out the window of this Hollywood hotel
You'd never know that it was Christmas Eve
The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells
And the temperature is 84 degrees
I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below
As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene
But there's not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows
And Santa drives a Rolls Royce limosine
But all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air
From Telluride to Boulder down below
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
Is a quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow
I remember Christmases when I was just a boy
In the morning I would run to see the tree
And the carolers on the hillside sang their songs of Christmas joy
Well, I always thought they sang them just for me
Now the sun is setting in the California sky
And I can't find the spirit anywhere
So I think it's time for me to tell Los Angeles goodbye
I'm going back home to look for Christmas there
But all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air
From Telluride to Boulder down below
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
Is a quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow

You Turned The Tables On Me
Composer(s): Sidney D. Mitchell; Louis Alter
Performer(s): Benny Goodman;
and various other artists
I used to be the apple of your eye
I had you with me every day
But now whenever you are passing by
You're always looking the other way
It's little things like this
That prompt me to say
You turned the tables on me
And now I'm falling for you
You turned the tables on me
I can't believe that it's true
I always thought when you brought
The lovely presents you bought
Why hadn't you brought me more
But now if you'd come
I'd welcome anything from
The five and ten cent store
You used to call me the top
You put me up on a throne
You let me fall with a drop
And now I'm out on my own
But after thinking it over and over
I got what was coming to me
Just like the sting of a bee
You turned the tables on me

Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow
Sweet home Alabama

Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
Sweet home Alabama

Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Alabama
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?
