Dear Mr. Claus


Dear Mr. Claus
Composer(s): Mark Lindsay - Terry Melcher
Performer(s): Paul Revere & the Raiders



Dear Mr. Claus, I'm writing you this note
Please pay attention to the words I've wrote
It's getting very lonely here at home
I think I'd like a special someone
I can call my very own

Dear Mr. Claus, won't you bring me a real live doll?
'Cause I've been very, very good
Dear Mr. Claus, won't you bring me a real live doll?
Gee, you must have a thousand
You could do it, if you would

Won't you bring me a real live doll?
I'd like a special trick that looks delicious
Won't you bring me a real live doll?
I'm tired of cleaning all the pots and pans and dirty dishes

You can make her hair, dear Santa, black, brown, or red (or yellow)
Just be sure, dear Santa Claus, there's some on her head (there's a good fellow)

Dear Mr. Claus, won't you bring me a real live doll?
And I'll be good next year
And I'll be good next year

Yeah

You Won't Be Satisfied (Until You Break My Heart)


You Won't Be Satisfied (Until You Break My Heart)
Composer(s): Larry Stock; Harry James
Performer(s): Doris Day;
and various other artists



You won't be satisfied until you break my heart
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start
I tried to shower you with lovin' kisses
But all I ever get from you is naggin' and braggin'
My poor heart is saggin'

The way you toss my heart around's a cryin' shame
I'll bet you wouldn`t like it if I did the same
You're only happy tearin' all my dreams apart
You won't be satisfied until you break my heart

You won't be satisfied until you break my heart
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start
I tried to shower you with lovin' kisses
But all I ever get from you is naggin' and braggin'
My poor heart is saggin'

You won't be satisfied until you break my heart
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start
I tried to shower you with lovin' kisses
But all I ever get from you is naggin' and braggin'
My poor heart is saggin'

The way you toss my heart around's a cryin' shame
I'll bet you wouldn`t like it if I did the same
You're only happy tearin' all my dreams apart

It doesn't seem fair
(Those little white lies)
But you don't seem to care
(And now I realize)
You won't be satisfied until you've broken my heart

Sweet Pea


Sweet Pea
Composer(s): Tommy Roe
Performer(s): Tommy Roe



I went to a dance just the other night
I met a girl there she was out of sight
I asked a friend of mine who she could be
He said that her friends just call her Sweet Pea

Oh Sweet Pea
come on and dance with me
come on come on come on and dance with me
Oh Sweet Pea
come on and be my girl
come on come on come on and be my girl

I walked on over and asked her to dance
thinkin' maybe later of makin' romance
but every guy there was thinkin'; like me
I had to stand in line to get a dance with Sweet Pea

Oh Sweet Pea
come on and dance with me
come on come on come on and dance with me
Oh Sweet Pea
come on and be my girl
come on come on come on and be my girl

I finally got to whisper sweet words in her ear
convinced that we oughta get away from there
we took a little walk I held her close to me
and underneath the stars I said to Sweet Pea

Oh Sweet Pea I love you can't you see
Love you love you love you can't you see
Oh Sweet Pea come on and be my girl
come on come on come on and be my girl

There stands love
My arms around you

So glad I found you

Remember
Finders' keepers
Loosers weepers
And because it's true
You're mine now

Sweet Patti O'Hara Smith
Composer(s): Tony Ashton
Performer(s): Ashton, Gardner & Dyke



Sweet Patti O'Hara Smith, there's something to my song
She makes me laugh, makes me smile
She makes, makes me loose control

There's something about her and I can't live without her
My mind will be indeferrably blow
Sweet Patti O'Hara Smith, my mind will be indeferrably blow

Sweet Patti O'Hara Smith turns me inside out
Makes me scream, she makes me steam
Makes me jump and shout oohh

There's something about her and I can't live without her
Deferrably freaking me out
Sweet Patti O'Hara Smith, deferrably freaking me out
Deferrably freaking me out

But Sweet Patti O'Hara Smith belongs to my best friend,
But he's so tired, it just ain't right
He won't even give me a lend.

But I'm gonna get her and I'd like to bet her
She'll come 'round to me in the end
Sweet Patti O'Hara Smith, she's driving me right 'round the bend
Yes she's driving me right 'round the bend
Yeaaah

You Wonder How These Things Began


You Wonder How These Things Began
Composer(s): Schmidt; Jones
Performer(s): Peter Wyngarde



Well, this begins with a Glen
It begins with a season
Which, for want of a better reason, we'll call April
It begins with a forest, where the woodchucks woo
And leaves wax green
And the vines entwine moonlight lovers

Try to see it - not with your eyes, because they're wise
But with your ears - the cool, green breathing of the leaves
And hear it with the inside of your hand
The soundless sound of shadows

Celebrate sensation!
Recall it's secret place
You've been there you remember?
That special place?

Where someone held your hand?
And love was sweeter than the berries or the honey
Or the stinging taste of mint
It is April - before a rainfall
Perfect time to be in love

You Win Again (The Bee Gees)


You Win Again
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb; Maurice Gibb
Performer(s): The Bee Gees



I couldn't figure why
You couldn't give me what everybody needs
I shouldn't let you kick me when I'm down
My baby
I find out everybody know that
You've been using me
I'm surprised you
Let me stay around you
One day I'm gonna lift the cover
And look inside your heart
We gotta level before we go
And tear this love apart

(Chorus)
There's no fight you can't fight
This battle of love with me
You win again
So little time
We do nothing but compete
There's no life on earth
No other could see me through
You win again
Some never try
But if anybody can, we can
And I'll be, I'll be
Following you

Oh baby I shake you from now on
I'm gonna break down your defenses
One by one
I'm gonna hit you from all sides
Lay your fortress open wide
Nobody stops this body from
Taking you

You better beware, I swear
I'm gonna be there one day when you fall
I could never let you cast aside
The greatest love of all

(Repeat Chorus)

Sweet Memories (Mickey Newbury)


Sweet Memories
Composer(s): Mickey Newbury
First release by: Mickey Newbury - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



My world is like a river as dark as it is deep
Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep
My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me
Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memories
Sweet memories sweet memories hmm

She slipped into the silence of my dreams last night
Wondering from room to room turning on each light
Her laughter spills like water from the river to the sea
And I'm swept away from sadness clinging to her memories
Sweet memories sweet memories hmm

You Win Again (Hank Williams)


You Win Again
Composer(s): Hank Williams
Performer(s): Hank Williams;
and various other artists



The news is out, all over town
That you've been seen, a-runnin' round
I know that I should leave but then
I just can't go, you win again

This heart of mine could never see
What everybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
What can I do, you win again

I'm sorry for your victim now
'Cause soon his head like mine will bow
You'll use his heart, but all in vain
And someday say, you win again

You have no heart, you have no shame
You take true love and give the blame
I guess that I should not complain
I love you still, you win again

Sweet Memories (Blue)


Sweet Memories
Composer(s): Hugh Nicholson
Performer(s): Blue



Songs I've lost and found
Were wrapped around
Those sweet memories of you
And I can still recall
The feelings fall
Like feathers from a bird who had so few

And it seems I'm unable to fly any higher
I reached my peak
When I fell in love with you
To leave my past behind is my desire
And fall into the arms of someone new

And it seems I'm unable to fly any higher
I reached my peak
When I fell in love with you
To leave my past behind is my desire
And fall into the arms of someone new

You Will Be My Music


You Will Be My Music
Composer(s): Joe Raposo
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; Len Leeds;
Joe Longthorne; Flip Phillips; Annette Sanders



When all the songs are out of tune
And all the rhyms ring so untrue
When I don't find the words to say
The thoughts I long I bring to you
When I hear lonely singers
Who are just as lost as me
Making noise, not melody
You will be my music
You will be my song
You will be my music

I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong
I'll never find the song to tell me
All the things I need to say
And I'm afraid as time goes by
That someday soon you'll go away
And I'll be lost and trying
For songs I'll never sing
Wanting you is ev'rything
You will be my music
You will be my song
You will be my music
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong
I can't wait any longer for my song

Sweet Melinda


Sweet Melinda
Composer(s): Steve Gillette - Dave Mackechnie
Performer(s): John Denver; Chesapeake; Steve Gillette



Pulled out of Linden, Texas
Two days and nights ago
I've been livin' on pills and burgies
Till the whites of my eyes don't show

Southbound headlights are makin' me blind
I'm too damn tired to blink
My toes are numb and my brain's gone numb
And I can just barely think

Sweet Melinda, my wife
The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler
Cuts through me like a knife
'Cept for you, sweet Melinda, my wife
I been ridin' on empty
Most all of my life

Two more hours of daylight
It's startin' to rain again
A sign up ahead says "Welcome to Paradise
Population Ten"

Well me and this truck and that old white line
Stumblin' on and on
Like three old drinkin' buddies
Comin' home at dawn

Sweet Melinda, my wife
The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler
Cuts through me like a knife
'Cept for you, sweet Melinda, my wife
I been ridin' on empty
Most all of my life

You were only fooling
But I was falling in love
It's a story as old as Adam and Eve
I was making love but you were making believe

You lied to me with kisses
I tried to stop dreaming of
You were only fooling me
While I was falling in love

It's a story as old as Adam and Eve
I was making love but you were making believe

You lied to me with kisses
I tried to stop dreaming of
You were only fooling me
While I was falling in love

Composer(s): Raymond Moore - Cy Warman

I've a secret in my heart, Sweet Marie
A tale I would impart, love to thee
Ev'ry daisy in the dell
Knows my secret, knows it well
And yet I dare not tell, Sweet Marie...
Come to me, Sweet Marie, come to me
Not because your face is fair, love to see
But your soul so pure and sweet
Makes my happiness complete
Makes me falter at your feet, Sweet Marie

The Five Keys; The Renowns



You were mine at the time and the feeling was sublime
You were mine (you were mine)
You were mine (you were mine)
You were really, really mine
And I know that our love was a love of true love

Like a bird on the wing when he know it's early Spring
You were mine (you were mine)
You were mine (you were mine)
You were really, really mine
And I know that our love was a love of true love

But now, since you're gone, I'm so sad and alone
Remembr'ing the love that we had for our own

Now I'll go on my way thinking of that lovely day
You were mine (you were mine)
You were mine (you were mine)
You were really, really mine
And I know that our love was a love of true love

Now I'll go on my way thinking of that lovely day
You were mine (you were mine)

Show me a river that’s so deep
Show me a mountain so high

You Were Meant For Me (Gene Kelly)


You Were Meant For Me
Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown; Arthur Freed
Performer(s): Gene Kelly;
and various other artists



Life was a song
You came along
I’ve laid awake the whole night through
If I ever dared
To think you cared
This is what I’d say to you

You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Nature fashioned you
And when she was done
You were all those good things
Rolled into one

You're like a plaintive melody
That never lets me be
I'm content the angels must have sent you
And they meant you just for me

But I’m content
The angels must have sent you
And they meant you
Just for me
