All I Needed Was The Rain


All I Needed Was The Rain
From the film "Stay Away, Joe" (1968)
Composer(s): Ben Weisman - Sid Wayne
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Jennie Duff



Hello misfortune
How's my old friend Mister Misery?
I've been away so long
I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me
Got no bed, to rest my head
No doors or walls or window pane
Now all I needed was the rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain

Met a little honey at the "Buzzin' Bumble Bee Cafe"
Yes I did
One drink and all my money
And that honey bee had flown away
I'm 'bout as low, as I can go
I don't really mean to complain
Now all I needed was the rain
Rain, rain...rain..rain

All I needed was this rain...
All I needed was the rain...um..um.....

All I Need To Know


All I Need To Know
Composer(s): Lou Gramm - Mick Jones
Performer(s): Foreigner



So I walk another mile down this crooked road
Clouds rolling in lord it’s getting cold
Feeling fine, feel lost, feeling blue tonight
But my only friend is mr. moonlight
Then I see you girl lost in your book of poems
You’re in another world,
I should leave you alone
My heart races on I try and hold it back
But like a runaway train I’m about to jump the tracks

Now you say you need a friend
I swear to you if that’s what you need
That’s what I’ll be
But I hope this never ends
I feel there’s something more the way
You look at me

And that’s all I need to know
I won’t question why don’t need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes
That’s all I need to know

Now we’re talking ’bout angels that have lost their wings
This melancholy world and the nature of things
But them there’s only silence when your eyes meet mine
Sends a shiver to my soul runs deeper than time

Reciting from your black book you were like some wounded bird
I tried to catch your heart as it fell between your words
You tore out one page and let it blow away
Then you disappeared into your world
It’s a place I just can’t stay

You say you need a friend
I swear to you if that’s what you need
That’s what I’ll be
But I hope this never ends
I feel there’s something more the way
You look at me

And that’s all I need to know
I won’t question why don’t need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes
That’s all I need to know

All I need to know
I won’t question why don’t need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
But it’s right here in my heart
That’s all I need to know

That’s all I need to know
I won’t question why don’t need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes
That’s all I need to know

All I need to know
I won’t question why don’t need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
But it’s right here in my heart
That’s all I need to know

That’s all I need to know
That’s all I need to know
That’s all I need to know
All I need to know

Whoa, Sailor


Whoa, Sailor
Composer(s): Hank Thompson; Walt McCoy
Performer(s): Hank Thompson; - 1949
The Maddox Brothers & Rose



I'll tell you 'bout my night on shore if you will lend an ear
I stepped into a cabaret to get myself a beer
A pretty girl sat all alone and needed company
But when I got close, this girl arose, this is what she said to me
Now she said, "Whoa, sailor, be careful what you do
In your eye there's a gleam and to me it seems your just like all the rest
With a wolfish eye and a line that's sly, then a sailor's at his best"

Now look here, babe, you've got me wrong, I'm not that kinda guy
Why, I just got back from across the seas where there are no girls arie
Now let me talk to you a while, I'm sure you'll see my way
But when I went to spout she turned about, this is what she had to say
Now she said, "Whoa, sailor, I've heard that line before
You'll look into my eyes and tell me lies and tales of the seven seas
But a sailor's full of that kinda bull, so don't hand it to me"

Oh, pretty girl you've let me down you've broken my poor heart
And oh, how it hurt when you had to spout that last sad remark
I said I think I'll have a drink and I broke out six month's pay
With wide open eyes she breathed a sigh, this time she had to say
Now she said, "Whoa, sailor, I think you've won my heart"
Well, she was right neat and she sure was sweet, but I knew she was that sort
But she's not all to blame 'cause it's a sailor's aim to have a girl in every port

All I Need Is You
Composer(s): Benny Davis - Peter de Rose - Mitchell Parrish
Performer(s): Peggy Lee
and multiple other artists



I don't need a million dollars
To make my dreams come true
Baby, all I need is you

I don't need a fortune teller
To tell my troubles to
Baby, all I need is you

Don't need the sun, don't need the stars
For at last I realise
I found the sun, I found the stars
Shining in your eyes

I'm right at the gates of heaven
And I could walk right through
Baby, all I need is you

Baby, all I need is you

Who Wouldn't Love You


Who Wouldn't Love You
Composer(s): Carl Fischer; Bill Carey
Performer(s): Faron Young;
and various other artists



(Love you love you love you love you do do do do)

Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't care
You're so enchanting people must stare
You're the dream that dreamers want to dream about
You're the breath of spring that lovers gad about or mad about
Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't buy
The west side of heaven if you winked your eye
You're the answer to my every prayer darling
Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't care

(You're the dream that dreamers want to dream about
You're the breath of spring that lovers gad about or mad about)

(You're the answer to my every prayer darling
Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't care)

Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't care...
Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't care

All I Need Is Time


All I Need Is Time
Composer(s): Bud Reneau
Performer(s): Gladys Knight & the Pips
and multiple other artists



All I need is time, then I'll get over you
A little at a time, a bit each day
All I need is time to mend a dream or two
Then I'll forget the love you took away

Morning's here again, just like the day before
But the only change is that I love you more
All I need is time, maybe a thousand years
Maybe a million tears, but I need time

Everybody says the pain won't last too long
Have a lot of fun and time will fly
It took a lot of time till love was born in me
And it'll take some time for love to die

Each and every day I spend forgetting you
Brings another night I never quite get through
All I need is time, maybe a thousand years
Maybe a million tears, but I need time

Who Would True Valour See


Who Would True Valour See
Composer(s): John Bunyan
Performer(s): Maddy Prior



Who would true valour see
Let him come hither
One here will constant be
Come wind, come weather
There's no discouragement
Shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim

Whoso beset him 'round
With dismal stories
Who but themselves confound
His strength the more is
No lion can him fright
He'll with a giant fight
But he will have a right to be a pilgrim.

Hobgoblin nor foul fiend
Can daunt his spirit
He knows he at the end
Shall life inherit
Then fancies flee away
He'll fear not what men say
He'll labour night and day to be a pilgrim

Who would true valour see
Let him come hither
One here will constant be
Come wind, come weather
There's no discouragement
Shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim

All I Need Is The Girl


All I Need Is The Girl
Composer(s): Jule Styne - Stephen Sondheim
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



Got my tweed pressed, got my best vest, all I need now is the girl
Got my striped tie, got my hopes high
Got the time and the place and I got the rhythm
Now all I need's the girl to go with'em

If she'll just appear we'll take this big town for a whirl
And if she'll say "My, darling, I'm yours"
I'll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed
All I really need is the girl

Got my tweed pressed, I got my best vest, all I need now is the girl
Got my striped tie, got my hopes way up high
I got the time and the place and the rhythm
All I need's the girl to go with'em

Mm, if she'll just appear we'll take this, this great big town for a whirl
And if, if she'll say "My, darlin', I'm yours"
I'll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed
All I real, really need is the girl

All I need is the girl

Who Will Sing For Me?


Who Will Sing For Me?
Composer(s): J.T. Ely
Performer(s): The Stanley Brothers;
and various other artists



Oft I sing for my friends
As death's cold form I see
When I reach my journey's end
Who will sing for me?

I wonder who will sing for me?
When I come to cross the silent sea
Who will sing for me?

When friends gather round
And look down on me
Will they turn and walk away
Or will they sing for me?

So I'll sing until the end
And cheerful try to be
Assured that some friend
Will sing one song for me

All I Need (The Temptations)


All I Need
Composer(s): R. Dean Taylor
Performer(s): The Temptations



(Won't you believe, my darlin'?)
Oh this heart of mine carries a heavy load
When I think about how I've hurt you so
After you've been, been so good to me
I've been unfaithful, darlin', I've caused you misery
I feel the guilt, how it tortures me
And only you, my darlin', oh can set me free

And darlin', all, all I need is just to hear you say
You'll forgive me, forgive me baby
All, all I need, to have you touch my hand
Say you'll understand

A moment of weakness, darlin', caused me to stray
Your trust in me, dear, I threw away
When I look, look into your eyes
I can see the hurt, baby, that you feel inside
Although I hurt you, baby, you never once complained
It makes me feel that much more ashamed
Tears of guilt, tears of guilt run down my face
Tears that only you, baby, only you can erase

And darlin', all, all I need is just to hear you say
You'll forgive me, forgive me baby
All, all I need, to have you touch my hand
Say you'll understand

(Won't you believe, my darlin'?)
I know I made a big mistake
When all your love, darlin', yes I did forsake
It's on my mind, it's in my heart
I get the feelin' tearin' me apart
Every step I make, every breath I take
I'll make it up to you, I'll make it up to you
Undo the wrong I've done, undo the wrong I've done
I've been unfaithful, I know it's true
But I'll make it up to you

And darlin', all, all I need is just to hear you say
You'll forgive me, forgive me baby
All, all I need, to have you touch my hand
Say you'll understand ...

Who Will Buy The Wine?


Who Will Buy The Wine?
Composer(s): Billy Mize
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
and various other artists



Not long ago you held our baby’s bottle
But the one you’re holding now’s a different kind
You just sit and wait to be somebody’s baby
And it all depends on Who Will Buy The Wine

Who ever sets them up and tips the waitress
Will be the one to share the love that’s mine
You’d never know whose lips you’d soon be kissing
And it all depends on Who Will Buy The Wine

The kind of life your living since you left me
I’m sure it’s not the life you thought you chose
That Honky Tonky world is not so flashy
Bright lights and booze is all it really knows

Who ever sets them up and tips the waitress
Will be the one to share the love that’s mine
You’d never know whose lips you’d soon be kissing
And it all depends on Who Will Buy The Wine

All I Need (Jack Wagner)


All I Need
Composer(s): G. Ballard - C. Magness - D. Pack
Performer(s): Jack Wagner



Kissing you is not what I had planned
And now I'm not so sure just where I stand
I wasn't looking for true love
But now you're looking at me
You're the only one I can think of
You're the only one I see

All I need
Is just a little more time
To be sure what I feel
Is it all in my mind
'Cause it seems so hard to believe
That you're all I need

Yes it's true we've all been hurt before
But it doesn't seem to matter anymore
It may be a chance we're taking
But it always comes to this
If this isn't love we're making
Then I don't know what it is

All I need
Is just a little more time
To be sure what I feel
Is it all in my mind
'Cause it seems so hard to believe

All I need
Is just a little more time
To be sure what I feel
Is it all in my mind
'Cause it seems so hard to believe
That you're all I need

No stars are out tonight
But we're shining our own light
And it's never felt so bright
'Cause girl the way I'm feeling
It's easy to believe
That you're all I need

Ahhhh
You're all I need
Oooooh ahhhh

Who We Are


Who We Are
Composer(s): Andrew Latimer
Performer(s): Camel



Hotel rooms, sleep eludes me
In this strange life I lead
Occasional friends, likewise lovers
Never wanting what I need

If you could be
Here close to me
I know - love
We were meant for each other
We will love one another
And it won't really matter at all
Who we are

Wake-up calls in the morning
The empty night fades away
You're still there, I'm still faking
Words I always meant to say

All I Left Behind


All I Left Behind
Composer(s): Emmylou Harris - Kate McGarrigle - Anna McGarrigle
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris; Francesca



All I left behind should come as no surprise
To me since I fell through the black hole of your eyes
Only little things inconsequential I could say
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway

Silver earrings in Wichita
Beaded moccasions in Tonopah
But I had you so
I just let them go

The flannel shirt I wore to keep me from the cold
When we drove from Boston all the way to Buffalo
The leather boots I bought so many miles ago
I took them off to follow you into the Ohio

Never did my armor feel so thin
Silk was all I had between me and your skin
Like Waterloo
I lost that too

And the golden bracelet with my father's name inscribed
On the back by the one who loved him all her life
The way I too
Could have loved you

The Spanish shawl I put across the broken shade
Of the lamp that lit the room
That last night near Coeur d'Alene
Only little things inconsequential I could say
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
Of all I left behind

Who Was It?


Who Was It?
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan; Hurricane Smith



Who was it that caught you falling
And put you back on your feet
Who was it that tripped you any way
(In order that the two of us would meet)
It was me and I'll tell you why
Oh! I did it because of my
Pure unabashed devotion to loving you
Who was it that tried to kiss you
Despite a very definite no
And who was it that managed to succeed
(In getting it with your fist down below)
It was me and I'll tell you why
Oh! I did it because of my
Pure unabashed devotion to loving
You and me both feel the same
We even look alike
And like it's a blooming shame
That because we do
People think we're you
Know what I mean
Who was it that came to see you
When there was no-one else in sight
And who was it that stayed over an hour
(And not as I'd expected over night)
It was me and I'll tell you why
Oh! I did it because of my
Pure unabashed devotion to loving
Pure unabashed devotion to loving
You, you, you, you
Who was it that caught you falling

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?


Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra & Celeste Holms;
and various other artists



Who wants to be a millionaire?
I don't
Have flashy flunkeys everywhere?
I don't
Who wants the bother of a country estate?
A country estate is something I'd hate!
Who wants to wallow in champagne?
I don't
Who wants a supersonic plane?
I don't
Who wants a marble swimming pool too?
I don't
And I don't, `cause all I want is you

Who wants to be a millionaire?
I don't
Who wants uranium to spare?
I don't
Who wants to journey on a gigantic yacht?
Do I want a yacht?
Oh, how I do not!
Who wants a fancy foreign car?
I don't
Who wants to tire of caviar?
I don't
Who wants a private landing field too?
I don't
And I don't, `cause all I want is you

All I Know Is The Way I Feel


All I Know Is The Way I Feel
Composer(s): Estelle Levitt - Jerry Ragovoy
Performer(s): Irma Thomas; The Pointer Sisters; Howard Tate



All I know is the way I feel
anything that makes me feel so good
just got to be
I can' help myself, it's the way I feel
it's scarin' me to death to think
what you could do to me
You're the one that I've been searching for
you were so hard to find
when you're near I need nothing more
you're so deep inside my heart
my soul and my mind
Lost in space is the way I feel
you got me sailin' way beyond
my wildest dreams
when we're lyin' here soft and warm
all the world is turnin' slow
nothin' ever came so easy
wonder just how far, how long
and where it will go
All I know is the way I feel
nothin' in my life ever was so real
I know I said it a million times
and it always will be true
all I know is the way I feel
all I need to do is to
keep on lovin' you
all I know is the way I feel
you got me goin' round in circles like
a spinning wheel
I can't help myself, it's got to be
it's scarin' me to death to think
what you could do to me
All I know is the way I feel
nothin' in my life ever was so real

Who Threw The Overalls In Mrs. Murphy's Chowder?


Who Threw The Overalls In Mrs. Murphy's Chowder?
Composer(s): George Geifer
Performer(s): Bing Crosby; The Countdown Singers



Mrs. Murphy gave a party just about a week ago
Everything was plentiful
The Murphys, they're not slow
They treated us like gentlemen, we tried to act the same
If it weren't for what happened...
Well, it was a doggone shame

When Mrs. Murphy dished the chowder out, she fainted on the spot
She found a pair of overalls at the bottom of the pot
McGinty, he got roaring mad, his eyes were bulging out
He jumped onto the piano and loudly he did shout......

"Who threw the overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder?"
Nobody spoke, so he shouted all the louder
"It's a rotten trick that's true, I can lick the drip that threw
The overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder"

They dragged the pants from out the soup and laid them on the floor
Each man swore upon his life, he'd ne'er seen them before
They were plastered up with mortar and had patches on the knee
They'd had their many ups and downs as we could plainly see

And when Mrs. Murphy, she came to, she b'gan to cry and pout
She'd put them in the wash that day and forgot to pull them out
McGinty, he excused himself for what he said that night
So we put music to the words and sang with all our might....

"Who threw the overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder?"
Nobody spoke, so we shouted all the louder
"It's a rotten trick that's true, and we'll lick the drip that threw
The overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder"

All I Know About You


All I Know About You
Composer(s): Frank DeVol - Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Eddie Holland
Performer(s): The Supremes



Baby, I know all about you
I heard long ago about you
They say you're mighty fast
You've got a wicked past
Ooo, all I know about you

You'll never get my heart
Won't be upsetting my heart
I'll never treat you, won't
I'm just too well in bond
Ooo, all I know about you

And if you think that you
can steal my heart a word
Why don't you try, I dare you to try
If you play you're gonna lose the game
'Cause I will never take my guard away
Come on and try
Though I'm nice I'll be cold as ice
Cause I know all about you

Baby, I know all about you
There's nothing slow about you
Kiss me and then you'll see
Wonder within of me
Ooo, all I know about you

Baby, I'm mad about you
I'm so glad about you
One little kiss and wow
I'm a believer now
Ooo, all I know about you, babe

I'm so wild about you
I feel like a child about you
It felt like this before
I wanna kiss ya more
Ooo, all I know about you, babe

I know all about you
And I like what I know about you
One little kiss and wow
I'm a believer now
Ooo, all I know about you
