After All You Said


After All You Said
Composer(s): Roger Steen - Fee Waybill
Performer(s): The Tubes



I guess you're still too wild
after all you said
and did not mean

What hides behind the smile
after all you said
and made believe

Riding line doesn't sound so bad
Just the wide open spaces
Lots of time to reflect the past
Lots of time to forget your face

Someone
I thought we talked about it all
Somewhere
Who wrote the writing on the wall
Somehow
It just took some time to reveal
Someone
The lies were painfully real

Imagine for so long
after all you said
and would not say
Illusions are all wrong
after all you said
and could explain

Riding line doesn't sound so bad
Just the wide open spaces

Someone
I thought we talked about it all
Somewhere
Who wrote the writing on the wall
Somehow
It just took some time to reveal
Someone
The lies were painfully real

No more tears
after all you said

Can't expect the clouds to clear
if you're left in darkness
Your reflection's not in the mirror
I suspect you're heartless

What Is Wrong, What Is Right


What Is Wrong, What Is Right
Composer(s): Keith Hopwood; Derek Leckenby; Harvey Lisberg
Performer(s): Herman's Hermits



She's stroking her cat with her silken fingers
A would-be charmer whose life's incomplete
I'm working so hard to try and get to know her
Her parents say who she sees and who she meets

Always on her own
Walking through the city
Doesn't want to know
If anyone should try to pick her up
She'll put them down

She only drinks at the dining table
She's not allowed to stay up late at night
Her only joy is the riding stable
Her parents say what is wrong and what is right

Always on her own
Walking through the city
Doesn't want to know
If anyone should try to pick her up
She'll put them down

The day will come when she'll see the time she's wasted
She's twenty-one and without their guiding light
There's so many things that she's never tasted
Who'll be there to say what is wrong and what is right

After All This Time


After All This Time
Composer(s): Tony Hadley - S. Tongue
Performer(s): Tony Hadley



Your promises are perfect
Your courage makes so strong
Holding on to something
How can this dream be wrong, oh

When you trust somebody
And all the thoughts they hold
Through good or bad you follow
Cause of the love you show

Oh it must be there for love
You know it must be there for love

After all this time
I can see the world so clearly
After all this time
After all this time
After all this time

Where ever life can take us
Whatever road you try
No matter what the reason
We're always by your side, oh

You felt the world against you
And you know we feel it too
But now we come together
Our spirit pulls us through

Oh it must be there for love
You know it must be there for love

After all this time
I can see the world so clearly
After all this time
After all this time
After all this time

Oh you know they say
That faith can save the day
And so it must be there for love
It must be there for love

And though you feel her pain
There's nothing you can say
But I'll still be there for love
I'll still be there for love
Must be there for love

After all this time
After all this time
After all this time
After all this time

After all this time
I can see the world so clearly
After all this time
After all this time
After all this time

What Is True?


What Is True?
Composer(s): Sandy Denny
Performer(s): Fairport Convention



Silver tongues are speaking long and hard into the night
I must be myself and I'll do alright
Oh, please my darling, do not make me sad
Late at night nobody really wants to feel that bad
The rain it beats impatiently upon the window pane
I must close my ears or I'll go insane
Can't you be a gentle breeze or silent as a snowfall
Won't you try and listen for the voice behind the wall
It cries to you

chorus:
Even though it only ever whispers part of what it knows
And it's never ventured through the locks
Where the brazen river flows
It's the fingerprint which is never made
It's the perfume of a rose
And it is there if you are searching
But the moment must be right
As the night is black, as the day is white
Please my friend, help to make me glad
Help me find the one and only thing I've never had
What is true

chorus

After All These Years (Norma Zimmer)


After All These Years
Composer(s): Fred Spielman - Janice Torre
Performer(s): Norma Zimmer



After all these years, after all my tears
After all the lonely days I’ve known
Now I have a son, such a tiny one
Like a little doll, but a baby all my own
Now my world is bright
Things have turned out right
After all my doubts and all my fears
You belong to me and we’ll live happily
Together ever after all these years

You belong to me and we’ll live happily
Together ever after all these years

What Is This Thing Called Love?


What Is This Thing Called Love?
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



I was a humdrum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in through my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again

What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?

You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
'Til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter's chill
And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love you still?

After All These Years (Foster & Allen)


After All These Years
Composer(s): B. Coleman - O. Kennedy
Performer(s): Foster & Allen
and multiple other artists



My darling come to me
Sit you down easily
And rest awhile near the soft fire light
Cold is the night

But warm is my heart with pride
Having you by my side
You're still my guiding light
After a-all these years

Your soft assuring ways
The rock I lean on
Saw me through my darkest days
When all hope had go-o-one

You're still the only one
I'll ever hold near
And I love you
After a-all these years

Time from me passes on
And I'm growing old
A lifetime nearly gone
I cannot unfold, nights dark and cold

But warm is your hand in mine
Feeble with aimless time
The light of love still shines
After a-all these years

Your soft assuring ways
The rock I lean on
Saw me through my darkest days
When all hope had go-o-one

You're still the only one
I'll ever hold near
And I love you
After a-all these years

Time from me passes on
And I'm growing old
A lifetime nearly gone
I cannot unfold, nights dark and cold

But warm is your hand in mine
Feeble with aimless time
The light of love still shines
After a-all these years

Your soft assuring ways
The rock I lean on
Saw me through my darkest days
When all hope had go-o-one

What Is There To Say?


What Is There To Say?
Composer(s): Vernon Duke; E.Y. "Yip" Harburg
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald



Darling, pardon my confusion
But are you an optical illusion?
And if not, then what on earth are you doing to me?
If my speech is willy nilly
It's because I cannot guild the lilly
I should love to sing your praises
But phrases and words are silly

What is there to say?
And what is there to do?
The dream I've been seeking has, practic'ly speaking
Come true

What is there to say?
And how will I pull through?
I knew in a moment contentment and home meant just you

You are so lovable, so livable
Your beauty is just unforgiveable
You're made to marvel at, and words to that effect

What is there to say?
And what is there to do?
My heart's in a deadlock
I'd even face wedlock with you

I knew in a moment contentment and home meant just you, so
What is there to say?
And what is there to do?
My heart's in a deadlock
I'd even face wedlock with you

After All The Time


After All The Time
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar



After all the time that has passed
The wound remains inside and hasn't healed
How crazy are the things
that the soul whimsically decides to keep

After my thoughts denied you
after my heart grew silent
the coals are still red
how useless it is to try to forget

I saw you in a dream again, yesterday
I must confess
Only by singing I could talk to you
Good morning, heartache
Here we go again
After such a long time
After such a long time

After all the wind that blew
the ship remains still and did not sink
It doesn't moor in any port
nor will it go to open sea, it waited for you

After all the time that has passed
I know there is no meeting between us
This song belongs to you
keep it before it runs away
just like you did

What Is Soul?


What Is Soul?
Composer(s): Bob Gallo; Ben E. King
Performer(s): Ben E. King;
and various other artists



What is soul?
What is soul, babe?

Some few people really know
It's deep within us, it doesn't show
A soul is somethin' that comes from deep inside
But a soul is a somethin' that you can't hide

What is soul?
What is soul, babe?

Search your heart, go deep down low
Way down there you'll find your soul
Come near girl, you look so cold
Touch my hand and warm your soul

Baby, baby, what's wrong with you
You don't know what I'm going through
Hold me so tight, so tight I can't breath
Can't you feel it girl?
Don't you know what I mean?
This is soul!

This is soul!
Feel the soul, babe!
What is soul, babe?
Don't you know?
What is soul, babe? ....

After All The Good Is Gone


After All The Good Is Gone
Composer(s): Floyd Cramer - Conway Twitty
Performer(s): Conway Twitty
and multiple other artists



Today I got a letter from someone
Just a friend we knew some time ago
And as I read between the lines
I began to realize
He didn't know I'd lost you
A long long time ago
Oh, I, just can't make it any longer
Everything I do is always wrong
I'm just living a lie
And there's no use in trying
To keep hanging on
After all the good is gone

Lord I wish that I could die
And there's no use in trying
To keep hanging on
After all the good is gone

What Is Life
Composer(s): George Harrison

What I feel, I can't say
But my love is there for you anytime of day

Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side

But my love is there for you any time of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed

After All (I Live My Life)


After All (I Live My Life)
Composer(s): Jim Doris - J.D. Miller
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
and multiple other artists



After all is said and done
Yes after all the only one for me is you
After all
After all the times I've said
I'll try a new romance instead
But none would do after all
Each time I stayed away I worried all night
Someone might be holding you tight
Can't forget you, try as I might
You are all I'm after
After all my dreams went wrong
I had the right one right along
And it was you after all

After All (Steve Conway)


After All
Composer(s): Billy Reid
Performer(s): Steve Conway



After all we planned together
For my dreams to be in vain
Everyone has stormy weather
When you're in love don't be afraid of rain

To forget is only human
To forgive is so divine
Break my heart, but say you love me
Then after all, you're mine

To forget is only human
To forgive is so divine
Break my heart but, say you love me
Then after all, you're mine

What In The World's Come Over You
Composer(s): Jack Scott
Performer(s): Jack Scott;
and various other artists



What in the world's come over you?
Seems we never get along (ooh, ah, ah, ah)
Ev'ry night I reminisce dreaming of your tender kisses
What in the world's come over you? (wah, wah, ooh)
Could you ever change your mind? (ah, ah, ah)
If you do, I'll still be here, dear, waiting, longing for you (ah, ah, ah)

All my life I've loved you so
Never dreamed I'd miss you so
Now, alone in my room each night
My heart, it cries "It's just not right", oh, oh, oh

What in the world's come over you?
Could you ever change your mind? (ah, ah, ah)
If you do, I'll still be here, dear, waiting, longing for you (ah, ah, ah)

All my life I've loved you so
Never dreamed I'd miss you so
Now, alone in my room each night
My heart, it cries "It's just not right", oh, oh, oh

What in the world's come over you? (wah, wah, ooh)
You're still my angel from above (ah, ah, ah)
Guess you'll always be my one and only
only real lo-o-o-ove

After All (Cher & Peter Cetera)


After All
Composer(s): Tom Snow - Dean Pitchford
Performer(s): Cher & Peter Cetera



(Him) Well, here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight

(Her) I still remember
when Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats

(Them) Every journey always brings me back to you
(Them) After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through

(Her) It all comes down to me and you

(Him) I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me After all

(Her) When love is truly right

(Him) This time it's truly right

(Her) It lives from year to year

(Them) It changes as it grows

(Her) And oh the way it grows

(Them) But it never disappears
(Them) After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through

(Her) It all comes down to me and you

(Him) I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me After all

(Him) Always just beyond my tough
Though I needed you so much

(Her) After all what else is living for

(Them) Whoa
(Them) After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through

(Her) It all comes down to me and you

(Him) I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me

(Them) After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through

(Her) It all comes down to me and you

(Him) I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me

After all

What I'd Say


What I'd Say
Composer(s): Robert Byrne; William Robinson
Performer(s): Earl Thomas Conley; - 1988
Gary Allan; Davey T Hamilton



Talkin' to the mirror, whisperin' your name
Just like you were here, you'd think I was insane
I hold these conversations in the silence of my room
Rehearsing all the things I'd say should I run into you

"How's it going?" might be what I'd say
"You broke my heart you know" or "It looks like rain today"
Or maybe, "God, I missed you since you went away"
"You're lookin' well" or "Go to hell" might be what I'd say

There's times I feel so angry I'd put my fist right through the wall
Then there's times I've come so close to giving you a call
I love you and I hate you all at the same time
I pray that you'll come back to me before I lose my mind

"How's it going?" might be what I'd say
"You broke my heart you know" or "It looks like rain today"
Or maybe, "God, I missed you since you went away"
"You're lookin' well" or "Go to hell" might be what I'd say

Guess you'll have to wait until that day
To find out what I'd say
"God, I missed you since you went away"
"Your looking well" or "Go to hell" might be what I'd say

African Skies


African Skies
Composer(s): Charlie Burchill - Jim Kerr
Performer(s): Simple Minds



You say you're surprised
I thought I'd write today
Pieces of my life
That time can't fade away
Land lies dry - Africa
And the clouds roll by - Africa
I held you every night
I believed in all you'd say
Now the dust blows in my eyes
But those dreams won't fade away

The sky burns red - Africa
Don't you cry - Africa

Africa
When you cry it rains - Africa

Still the children smile - Africa
When you cry it rains - Africa
When the wild dogs howl - Africa
Still the clouds roll by - Africa
