When The Lord Closes The Door (He Opens A Little Window)
When The Lord Closes The Door
(He Opens A Little Window)
Composer(s): Kinky Friedman; Jeff Shelby
Performer(s): Billy Swan; Kinky Friedman
When I find myself alone in my house and in my head
And I blow the candles out and I take myself to bed
And I'm old enough to realize, ah, young enough to know
When the Lord closes the door, he opens a little window
When sleep closes my eyes and sends me searching for you
And I'm feelin' blue as the sky without your love to carry me through
And I'm weak enough to be afraid but strong enough to let it show
When the Lord closes the door, he opens a little window
Baby I'm a gypsy boy, I'll ride the night until
I come to you like moonlight through your raggle-taggle window sill
When you find yourself alone in your house and in your head
And you blow the candles out and you take yourself to bed
And you're old enough to realize, ah, young enough to know
When the Lord closes the door, he opens a little window

Ain't She Something Else
Ain't She Something Else
Composer(s): Jerry Foster - Bill Rice
Performer(s): Conway Twitty
Don't you love the way she talks to you
When she's feeling woman warm
And don't it make you feel so good
Just to know she's yours all by yourself
Don't you like to see the sun go down
When she's lying close to you
And can't you feel her all around
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
Ain't she just some kind of lover in the morning
Can't your arms feel the warmness where she slept
Ain't she just all that you have ever wanted
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
Don't you like the way she clings to you
And loves you 'till there's nothing left
And tell me don't her lips taste good
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
Ain't she just some kind of lover in the morning
Can't your arms feel the warmness where she slept
Ain't she just all that you have ever wanted
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
When she loves me she's sure something else

Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin; Sol Marcus; Eddie Seiler
Performer(s): Vera Lynn;
and various other artists
When the lights go on again all over the world
And the boys are home again all over the world
And rain or snow is all that may fall from the skies above
A kiss won't mean "goodbye" but "Hello to love"
When the lights go on again all over the world
And the ships will sail again all over the world
Then we'll have time for things like wedding rings and free hearts will sing
When the lights go on again all over the world
When the lights go on again all over the world
And the ships will sail again all over the world
Then we'll have time for things like wedding rings and free hearts will sing
When the lights go on again all over the world

Ain't Quite Right
Composer(s): Paul Stanley
Performer(s): Kiss
You were standin' and I was thinkin'
Of all the time that I spend hangin' around
Situation could only get better
I got closer to see what I found
In the mornin', movin' easy
Everything seems so right
But when the night comes, I've been dreamin'
Dreamin' 'bout leavin' you one more time
Girl, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right
Mmm, no, I won't tell you
That you're the only one for me
And I'd be a liar if I promised
I could give you every single thing you ever need
You gave me good love
But it ain't quite right
Yeah, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right, mmm
Lookin' back now seems so easy
You were the best thing ever happened to me
I can't complain
It was worth every minute we had
'Cause, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right
Yeah, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right

Covered by multiple other artists
Throw me away
You can treat me like trash
But still I turn around babe

Somewhere down on the track, now
But just like a boomerang baby you know

There ain't nothin' you can do, darlin'
To stop me from lovin' you
Oh, there's nothin' you can say, darlin'
Little girl, to drive me away
You can call me names
In the presence of my friend
That wouldn't hurt my feelin's
You know that wouldn't mean a thing
It's gonna take a miracle
To drive me away
I'll be around babe, until I'm old an' gray
There is nothin' you can do babe
To stop me from lovin' you
Oh, there's nothin' you can say, little girl
Darlin', to drive me away
Oh, hahaha, come on, ya'all
Well, alright
You can play with my heart
Like kids play with toys
I wouldn't give a damn
If ya tore it apart
You can walk all over me
Then treat me like dirt
So much in love wit' cha darlin'
I wouldn't even feel the hurt
There is nothin' you can do, babe
To stop me from lovin' you
No, there's nothin' you can say, little girl
Honey, to drive me away
'Cause I'm satisfied, with the love ya give
I love ya baby, an' I know it's for real
It's gonna take a miracle to drive me away

When The King Enjoys His Own Again
When The King Enjoys His Own Again
(Traditional)
Let rogues and cheats prognosticate
Concerning king's or kingdom's fate
I think myself to be as wise
As he that gazeth on the skies
My sight goes beyond
The depth of a pond
Or rivers in the greatest rain
Whereby I can tell
That all will be well
When the King enjoys his own again
Yes, this I can tell
That all will be well
When the King enjoys his own again
There's neither Swallow, Dove, or Dade
Can soar more high or deeper wade
Nor show a reason from the stars
What causeth peace or civil wars
The man in the moon
May wear out his shoon
By running after Charles his wain
But all's to no end
For the times will not mend
Till the King enjoys his own again
Yes, this I can tell
That all will be well
When the King enjoys his own again
Full forty years this royal crown
Hath been his father's and his own
And is there anyone but he
That in the same should sharer be?
For better may
The scepter sway
Than he that hath such right to reign?
Then let's hope for a peace
For the wars will not cease
Till the king enjoys his own again
Yes, this I can tell
That all will be well
When the King enjoys his own again
Though for a time we see Whitehall
With cobwebs hanging on the wall
Instead of gold and silver brave
Which formerly was wont to have
With rich perfume
In every room,
Delightful to that princely train
Yet the old again shall be
When the time you see
That the King enjoys his own again
Yes, this I can tell
That all will be well
When the King enjoys his own again
Then fears avaunt, upon the hill
My hope shall cast her anchor still
Until I see some peaceful dove
Bring home the branch I dearly love
Then will I wait
Till the waters abate
Which now disturb my troubled brain
Then for ever rejoice
When I've heard the voice
That the King enjoys his own again
Yes, this I can tell
That all will be well
When the King enjoys his own again

Keep Away From The Fellow Who Owns An Automobile
Keep Away From The Fellow Who Owns An Automobile
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Ada Jones
There's a certain flirtin' man with money in the bank
The man I mean owns a machine, the kind you have to crank
His great delight is to invite a girlie for a whirl
In his machine and I just mean to kind o' warn each girl
Keep away from the fellow who owns an automobile
He'll take you far in his motor car
Too darn far from your Pa and Ma
If his forty horsepower goes sixty miles an hour say
Goodbye forever, goodbye forever
There's no chance to talk, squawk or balk
You must kiss him or get out and walk
Keep away from the fellow who owns an automobile
Mary White went out one night in Harry's new machine
They rode quite far when Harry's car ran out of gasoline
The hour was late and sad to state no gas could Harry get
The latest word I overheard is that they're walking yet
Keep away from the fellow who owns an automobile
He'll take you far in his motor car
Too darn far from your Pa and Ma
If his forty horsepower goes sixty miles an hour say
Goodbye forever, goodbye forever
There's no chance to talk, squawk or balk
You must kiss him or get out and walk
Keep away from the fellow who owns an automobile

When The Heartache Is Over
When The Heartache Is Over
Composer(s): John Reid; Graham Stack
Performer(s): Tina Turner; Vonda Shepard
Once in a lifetime you find
Someone to show you the way
Someone to make your decisions
And I let you lead me astray
Who did you think you were fooling
Said you were missing me blind
But the truth is I knew you were lying
You were using me time after time
chorus
When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missing you
Won't look over my shoulder
'Cause I know that I can live without you
Time to move on with my life now
Leaving the past all behind
I can make my own decisions
It was only a matter of time
Sometimes I look back in anger
Thinking about all the pain
But I know that I'm stronger without you
And that I'll never need you again
chorus
When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missing you
Won't look over my shoulder
'Cause I know that I can live without you
chorus repeat
When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missing you
Won't look over my shoulder
'Cause I know that I can live without you
When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missing you
Won't look over my shoulder
'Cause I know that I can live without you
Yeah I can live without you
Oh I can live without you

Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing
Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing
Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson
First release by: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - August 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I got your picture hangin' on the wall
It can't see or come to me when I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame
I read your letters when you're not near
But they don't move me
And they don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I play my games, a fantasy
I pretend I'm not in reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let's stay together
I've got some memories to look back on
And though they help me when you phone
I'm well aware nothing can take the place of you're being there
So glad we got the real thing
So glad we got the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Say it loud like you're proud
Ain't nothing like the real thing

Ain't Nothing 'Bout You
Ain't Nothing 'Bout You
Composer(s): Rivers Rutherford - Tom Shapiro
Performer(s): Brooks & Dunn
Once I thought that love was something I could never do
Never knew that I could feel this much
But this yearning in the deep part of my heart for you
Is more than a reaction to your touch
It's a perfect passion and I can't get enough
The way you look, the way you laugh
The way you love with all you have
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss
The way you cry
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
In my life I've been hammered by some heavy blows
That never knocked me off my feet
All you gotta do is smile at me and down I go
And baby it's no mystery why I surrender
Girl you got everything
The way you look, the way you laugh
The way you love with all you have
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss
The way you cry
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
I love your attitude, your rose tattoo, your every thought
Your smile, you lips and girl the list goes on and on and on
The way you look, the way you laugh
The way you love with all you have
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss
The way you cry
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
The way you look, the way you laugh
The way you love with all you have
Your dance, your drive
You make me feel alive
The way you talk, the way you tease
Right now I think you see
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me

When The Earth Moves Again
When The Earth Moves Again
Composer(s): Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
In golden Hannibal Carthage days marchin' onto Rome
knockin' on the door and findin' nobody home there
Rome she cut our army down and left them in the snow so now
I go to where I come from now I go home to the Sun
When the earth moves again
when the earth moves again my friend
let the lady ride on thru
when the earth moves again
Egyptian kings they sing of Gods and pyramids of stone
and they left the deserts clean and they left the deserts
golden and shinin' as a beacon for those that need a road
into the day and thru the night we go and find our way home
when the earth moves again
my love to all the people I leave behind
search out the new ground around you
when the earth moves again
your head can pull your lady around
and you can leave whenever you can and the ground
take what you and on the land sea foam glass is sand
if you've only lived on earth you've never seen the sun
or the promise of a thousand other suns that glow beyond here
and if you care to see the future look into the eyes
of your young dancing children don't be afraid of our ways
when the earth moves again
when the earth moves again
watch the lady ride and sigh
when the earth moves again
Moses Moses the red sea closes over you when you
least expect it to
when the earth moves again
when the earth moves again

When The Cactus Is In Bloom
When The Cactus Is In Bloom
Composer(s): Jimmie Rodgers
Performer(s): Jimmie Rodgers;
and various other artists
The cattle prowled and the coyotes howled
out on the Great Divide
I never done no wrong, just singing a song
as down the trail I ride
Rattle snakes rattle at the prairie dogs
you hear that mournful tune
It's roundup time away out West
When the cactus is in bloom
Daylight comes and the cowhand yell
they call out ev'ry man
I throw my saddle on my old cowhorse
and drink my coffee from a can
The sun goes down on the cattle trail
and I'm gazing at the moon
It's roundup time away out West
When the cactus is in bloom
We don't have cold weather
it never snows or rains
That is where the sunshine's best
out on the western plains
Some of the boys have gone away
but they will be back soon
It's roundup time away out West
When the cactus is in bloom
Daylight comes and the cowhand yell
they call out ev'ry man
I throw my saddle on my old cowhorse
and drink my coffee from a can
The sun goes down on the cattle trail
and I'm gazing at the moon
It's roundup time away out West
When the cactus is in bloom

Performer(s): Rufus & Chaka Khan; Ashford & Simpson; Diana Ross
Could it be that he's interested
Or am I just wanting it be so
Do I dare speak to him
Or should I let the moment go
Forget this hunger inside
Forget this hunger inside
Should I let the feelin' flow
Should I just let it flow
Ain't nothin' but a maybe?
Oh and baby, I sure would like to know
Could it be he's just friendly
And that's nothing to get excited about
On the other hand he could be answering
The good vibrations I'm sendin' out
Well I just don't know
What I really see in
Should I make a move
Or keep on daydreamin'
Ain't nothin' but a maybe
Oh and maybe baby, I sure would like to know
Wanna know? wanna know?
Could it be that he's interested
Or should I let the moment go and
Forget this hunger inside
Forget this hunger inside
Should I let the feelin' flow
Should I just let it flow
Ain't nothin' but a maybe?
Oh and baby, I sure would like to know
Repeat
Forget this hunger inside
Forget this hunger inside
Should I let the feelin' flow
Should I just let it flow

When The Bees Make Honey Down In Sunny Alabam'
When The Bees Make Honey Down In Sunny Alabam'
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Joe Young; Walter Donaldson
I just feel like telling the world I'm happy and gay
I just feel like telling you why I'm feeling that way
This is just the time of the year when bees start to buzz
And I've got a bee in my bonnet, simply because
I will be the busiest bee that you ever knew
Sipping honey all thro' the day that's just what I'll do
When the bees are buzzin' away near some Rosemary
How I love to bumble around just take it from me
When the bees make honey down in sunny Alabam'
That's when I said, I'd be sending a telegram
Down to honey suckled home
Where my folks live all alone
They're like a pair of honey bees
In a honey comb
I'm gonna make a beeline straight for home
That's where I am
And I've a plan to buzz around with my honey lamb
Some Sunday afternoon
If I don't get stung, there'll be a honey moon
When the bees make honey, down in sunny
Oh! you Alabam'
