You're My Thrill
You're My Thrill
Composer(s): Sidney Clare; Jay Gorney
Performer(s): Billie Holiday;
and various other artists
I've been 'neath the moon before
Held by the charms
Of other arms
I heard love's tune before
And it used to bore me
'Till you stood before me
You're my thrill
You do something to me
You send chills right through me
When I look at you
'Cause you're my thrill
You're my thrill
How my pulse increases
I just go to pieces
When I look at you
'Cause you're my thrill
Nothing seems to matter
Here's my heart on a silver platter
Where's my will
Why this strange desire
That keeps mounting higher and higher
When I look at you
I can't keep still
You're my thrill

A Gospel Song
A Gospel Song
Composer(s): Bob Geldof
Performer(s): Bob Geldof
If you see her say hello
If she asks how I'm doing let her know
If she says is he O.K. say it's slow
But he's coming round
And if you sleep with her
Through the darkest night
And you wake beside her in the early light
Kiss her gently like I might
And bring her round
If she stumbles if she trips and slows
In the darkest rain and through the driving snow
Bring her straight here
I'll be on my own
But bring her round
And every dream and every shadow that you heard
Makes you want to cry
'Cause it's a big bad world
If you want her let her know
If she's leaving let her go
All of this will pass but it passes slow
And you'll come around
When the wind blows through October skies
And you wake up in the cold twilight
And you stretch your hand out and there's
nothing there but the night
And the darkness is all around
If you see her say hello
If she asks how I'm doing let her know
If she says is he O.K. say it slow
But he's coming round
When the rain falls from the blackened sky
There's a heart breaking but it feels alright
See I should have done something but I let it slide
And I'll come around
Every dream and every shadow that you've heard
Don't make it cry like you want to die
In this big bad world

You're My Mother
You're My Mother
Composer(s): Chip Davis
Performer(s): Mud
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh
You want me to be more forceful
You say that I could get there
Your head’s leaning on my shoulder
But I don’t know what it’s doing there
Chorus:
You're my mother and there is no other
I'll keep you in mind but you should retire from me
We sit out in the garden
And breath the cool fresh air
Then you come out with a problem
It’s not like being at the seaside
Chorus
Break
Try to ask you for myself
Got to let my mind out
Fixed in one position
Got to make myself shout
Chorus

A Good Year For The Roses
A Good Year For The Roses
Composer(s): Jerry Chesnut
First release by: George Jones - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
On the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lyin' cold the way you left'em
But at least your lips caressed them while you packed
And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee
That I poured and didn't drink
But at least you thought you wanted it
And that's so much more then I can say for me
It's been a good year for the roses
And many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowin'
Funny,I don't even care
And when you turn to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I know to say
It's been a good year for the roses
After three full years of marriage
It's the first time that I haven't made the bed
I guess the reason we're not talkin'
There's so little left to say,we haven't said
And while a million thoughts go racin' through my mind
I find I haven't spoke a word
And from the bedroom,the familiar sounds
Of our one baby's cryin' goes unheard
But what a good year for the roses
And may blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowin'
Funny,I don't care
And when you turn to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I know to say
It's been a good year for the roses
The only thing I know to say
It's been a good year for the roses

You're My Jamaica
You're My Jamaica
Composer(s): Kent Robbins
Performer(s): Charley Pride
Every day I read ads in the paper
Sayin' come to the island (Come to the island)
Bikinied ladies, sweet rum drinks
They'll keep you smilin' (Down in the islands)
I've got calypso music on the record at home
When it comes to the warmth and the sunshine
Well I got my own
You're my Jamaica, you're where I want to be
You're my island when I'm being tossed on a stormy sea
My heavenly haven where I could spend eternity
You're my Jamaica, you're paradise to me
White sunny sands, palm trees and tans
It sounds so invitin' (Sounds so inviting)
Limbo dancin' and starlight romancin'
It's all so exciting (Come on down, come on down, come on down)
Well I've got my flowery shirt
And rum punch in my hand
And my own exotic lover and my native land
You're my Jamaica, you're where I want to be
You're my island when I'm being tossed on a stormy sea
My heavenly haven where I could spend eternity
You're my Jamaica, you're paradise to me
You're my Jamaica, you're where I want to be
You're my island when I'm being tossed on a stormy sea
My heavenly haven where I could spend eternity
You're my Jamaica, you're paradise to me
You're my Jamaica, you're where I want to be
You're my island when I'm being tossed on ...

A Good Time
A Good Time
Composer(s): John Prine
Performer(s): John Prine
Time was once just a clock to me
And life was just a book a biography
Success was something you just had to be
And I would spend myself unknowingly
And you know that I could have me a million more friends
And all I’d have to lose is my point of view
But I had no idea what a good time would cost
Till last night when I sat and talked with you
An apple will spoil if it’s been abused
A candle disappears when it’s been used
A rainbow may follow up a hurricane
And I can’t leave forever on a train
And you know that I’d survive if I never spoke again
And all I’d have to lose is my vanity
But I had no idea what a good time would cost
Till last night when you sat and talked with me
You can smile for the lack of something else to do
And no one will laugh and point a finger at you
If your tears didn’t always make me feel so bad
Would you still cry every time that you felt sad?
I thought I’d heard and seen enough to get along
Till you said something neither of us knew
And I had no idea what a good time would cost
Till last night when I sat and talked with you

You're My Home
You're My Home
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
and various other artists
When you look into my eyes
And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul
It always comes as a surprise
When I feel my withered roots begin to grow
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own
But that's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home
When you touch my weary head
And you tell me everything will be all right
You say, "Use my body for your bed
And my love will keep you warm throughout the night"
Well I'll never be a stranger and I'll never be alone
Wherever we're together, that's my home
Home can be the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Indiana's early mornin' dew
High up in the hills of California
Home is just another word for you
Well, I never had a place that I could call my very own
But that's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home
If I travel all my life
And I never get to stop and settle down
Long as I have you by my side
There's a roof above and good walls all around
You're my castle, you're my cabin and my instant pleasure dome
I need you in my house, 'cause you're my home
You're my home
You're my home ...

Aquellos Ojos Verdes
Aquellos Ojos Verdes
((English Version: Green Eyes (by Jane Froman))
Composer(s): Nilo Menéndez - Adolfo Utrera
Performer(s): Gloria Jean
and multiple other artists
Fueron tus ojos los que me dieron
el tema dulce de mi canción
Tus ojos verdes, claros, serenos
ojos que han sido mi ispiración
Aquellos ojos verdes de mirada serena
dejaron en mi alma eterna sed de amar
Anhelos y caricias de besos y ternuras
de todas las dulzuras que sabían brindar
Aquellos ojos verdes, serenos como un lago
en cuyas quietas aguas un día me miré
No saben la tristezas que en mi alma han dejado
Aquellos ojos verdes que ya nunca olvidaré

You're My Girl
You're My Girl
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jule Styne
Performer(s): Jack Jones;
and various other artists
You're my girl, the boys all know
You're my girl, I've told them so
You should have seen how their faces fell
When they were wishing me well
They called me a lucky guy
And I couldn't hide a feeling of pride
You're my girl, I've chosen you
To be mine my whole life through
And if this heart of mine had a voice
You'd hear it second my choice
You're what I've waited for
And you're my girl.
(Musical Break)
And if this heart of mine had a voice
You'd hear it second my choice
You're what I've waited for
And you're my girl

A Good Man Is Hard To Find
A Good Man Is Hard To Find
Composer(s): Eddie Green
Performer(s): Eddie Green
and multiple other artists
My heart is sad and I'm all alone
my man's treating me mean
I regret the day that I was born
And the man I ever seen
My happiness is less today
My heart is broke, that's why I say
Lord, a good man is hard to find
You always get another kind
Just when you think that he's your pal
You look and find him foolin' 'round some old gal
Then you rave, you all crave
You want to see him in his grave
So if your man is nice, take my advice;
Hug him in the morning, kiss him at night
Give him plenty lovin'; treat your good man right
Oh, a good man is so hard to find
We always get that roughed old kind
Just when you think that he's your pal
You like and find him hangin' 'round some old gal
Then you rave, how you crave
You wanna see him dead layin' in his grave
So if your man is nice, take my advice
Hug him in the morning, kiss him at night
Give him plenty love madam, treat your man right
'Cause a good man nowadays sure is hard to find

You're My Everything (The Temptations)
You're My Everything
Composer(s): Cornelius Grant;
Roger Penzabene; Norman Whitfield
Performer(s): The Temptations
You surely must know magic, girl
Because you changed my life
It was dull and ordinary
You made it sunny and bright
I was blessed the day I found you
I'm gonna build my whole world around you
You're everything good, girl
And you're all that matters to me
When my way was dark
And trouble was near
Your love provided the light
So I could see, girl
Just knowing your love was near
When times were bad
Kept the world from closing in on me
I was blessed the day I found you
I'm gonna build my whole world around you
You're everything good, girl
And you're all that matters to me
Baby, you're part of every thought I think each day
Your name's in every phrase my lips say
Every dream I dream is about you
Baby I couldn't live without you
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
You're my everything
You're my everything
You're the girl I sing about
In every love song I sing
You're my winter, baby
My summer, my fall and spring
I was blessed the day I found you
I'm gonna build my whole world around you
You're everything good, girl
And you're all that matters to me
You're my everything
You're my everything (fade out)

A Good Heart
A Good Heart
Composer(s): Maria McKee
First release by: Feargal Sharkey - 1985
I hear a lot of stories, I suppose they could be true
All about love and what it can do for you
High is the risk of striking out, the risk of getting hurt
And still I have so much to learn
Well I know 'cause I think about it all the time
I know that real love is hard to find
And a good heart these days is hard to find
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine
My expectations may be high, I blame it on my youth
Soon enough I'll learn the painful truth
I'll face it like a fighter then boast how I've grown
Anything is better than being alone
Well I know 'cause I learn a little every day
I know 'cause I listen when the experts say that...
A good heart these days is hard to find
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine
As I reflect on all my childhood dreams
My ideas od love weren't as foolish as they seemed
If I don't start looking now I'll be left behind
And a good heart these days, it's hard to find
Well I know, it's a dream I'm willing to defend
I know it will be worth it in the end
A good heart these days is hard to find
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine

You're my everything underneath the sun
You're my everything rolled up into one
You're my only dream, my only real reality
You're my idea of a perfect personality
You're my everything, everything I need
You're the song I sing and the book I read
You're a way beyond belief and just to make it brief
You're my winter, summer, spring, my everything
You're my everything (everything I need)
You're the song I sing and the book I read
You're a way beyond belief and just to make it brief
You're my winter, summer, spring, my everything

You're My Best Poker Hand
You're My Best Poker Hand
Composer(s): Junior Burghardt
Performer(s): T-Bone Walker; Deluxe Blues Band
I've got a five card hand and I don't know how to play
I've got a five card hand and I don't know how to play
I need a queen like you to make my hand OK
The kid drew three aces and stacked them back to back
The kid drew three aces and stacked them back to back
I looked at my hand and not a smile did I crack
When the deal goes down I've only drawed one card
When the deal goes down I've only drawed one card
And if you play poker, you know that sure is hard
The kid spread his hand and began to blush
The kid spread his hand and then began to blush
But his face turned pale when he saw my queen high flush

A Golden Handshake For Every Daughter
Composer(s): Gary Daly - Eddie Lundon
Performer(s): China Crisis
We sat by the river
Talking for hours
I cried myself to sleep
Push me gently
Ever so gently
The water's far too deep
Some say, some say tomorrow
Hide behind, hide behind your sorrow
A golden handshake for every daughter
And a piece of the wedding cake
Run from your houses
And your summer lovers
Love is all you can take
