If I had a dime for every time
I dreamed about you

I'll tell you no joke yes I'm really broke baby without you (girl without you)
and oh ho ho

when you tell me that you love me, darling
(I'm gonna break your promise baby)

(I'm gonna break your promise to me)
and now you're actin' so strange
(I'm gonna break your promise baby)
you said that you need me
(I'm gonna break your promise to me)
If I saw you with somebody new, I'd be so helpless (be so helpless)

Let It Grow
Let It Grow
Composer(s): Eric Clapton
First release by: Eric Clapton - 1974
I'm standin’ at the crossroads
Tryin’ to read the signs
To tell me which way I should
Go to find the answer
And all the time I know
Let your love and let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun and in the snow
Love is lovely, let it grow
Lookin’ for a reason
To check out on my mind
It’s so hard to find a
Friend that I can count on
There’s nothin’ left to show
Plant your love and let it grow
Let it grow...
Time is gettin’ shorter
And there’s much for you to do
Only ask’n you will get what you are needin’
The rest is up to you
Plant your love and let it grow
Let it grow ...

Tell me what's wrong with you now, tell me why I
Never seem to make you happy though heaven knows I try
What does it take to please you? Tell me just how
I can satisfy you woman, you're drivin' me wild
Break up to make up, that's all we do
First you love me then you hate me, that's a game for fools
Break up to make up that's all we do,
First you love me then you hate me, that's a game for fools
When I come home from workin', you're on the phone
Talkin' about how bad I treat you, now tell me I'm wrong
You say it's me who argues, I'll say it's you
We have got to get together or baby, we're through
Break up to make up, that's all we do
First you love me then you hate me, that's a game for fools

Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
speaking words of wisdom
Let it be, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
she is standing right in front of me
speaking words of wisdom
let it be, let it be
And when the broken hearted people
living in the world agree
there will be an answer
let it be, let it be
For though they may be parted there is
still a chance that they will see
there will be an answer
let it be, let it be
let it be, let it be
let it be, let it be
there will be an answer
let it be, let it be
And when the night is cloudy
there is still a light that shines on me
shine on until tomorrow
let it be, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
speaking words of wisdom
let it be, let it be
let it be, let it be
let it be, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be, let it be

Let Him Roll
Let Him Roll
Composer(s): Guy Clark
First release by: Guy Clark - 1975
Well, he was wino, tried and true
Done about everything there is to do
He worked on freighters, an' he'd worked in bars
He worked on farms, an' he'd worked on cars
It was white port that put that look in his eye
Grown men get when they need to cry
We sat down on the curb to rest
And his head just fell down on his chest
He says: "Every single day it gets
"Just a little bit harder to handle and yet ..."
Then he lost the thread and his mind got cluttered
And the words just rolled off down the gutter
Well, he was elevator man in a cheap hotel
In exchange for the rent on a one room cell
An' he's old: years beyond his time
No thanks to the world, and the white port wine
So he said: "Son" He always called me son
Said: "Life for you has just begun"
An' then he told me the story I'd heard before
How he fell in love with a Dallas whore
Now, he could cut through the years to the very night
When it ended in a whore house fight
And she turned his last proposal down
In favor of being a girl about town
Now it's been seventeen years, right in line
He ain't been straight in none of the time
It's too many days of fightin' the weather
An' too many nights of not being together
So he died
An' when they went through his personal effects
In among the stubs from the welfare checks
Was a crumblin' picture of a girl in a door
An' an address in Dallas, and nothin' more
An' the welfare people provided the priest
A couple from the mission down the street
Sang "Amazing Grace", and no one cried
'Cept some lady in black, way off to the side
We all left and she's standing there
A black veil covering her silver hair
Ol' One-Eyed John said her name was Alice
An' she used to be a whore in Dallas
So let him roar, Lord, let him roll
I bet he's gone to Dallas, rest his soul
Just you let him roll, Lord, let him roar
He always said that heaven
Was just a Dallas whore
Just you let him roar, Lord, let him roll
I bet he's gone to Dallas, rest his soul

Break It To Them Gently
Break It To Them Gently
Composer(s): Burton Cummings
Performer(s): Burton Cummings;
Randy Bachman; Gil Grand
Break it to them gently when you tell my Mom and Dad
When you see my baby sister be as kind as you can
And break it to my Grandma, who said "That boy's wild and bad"
Break it to them gently when you tell them that I won't be coming home again
'Cause I'm running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive
Fightin for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone
Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive
God I wanna go home
Lord I wish I was home
When you see my lady with the twinkle in her eyes
Tell it to her softly and hold her if she cries
Tell her that I love her and I will til the day I die
Tell it to her gently when you tell her that I won't be coming home
again
(chorus)
I got in too deep with strangers
Thinking they could help me find my way
But nobody warned me of the dangers
And it's always the young and foolish that have to pay
So break it to them gently when you tell my Mom and Dad
Thank them for the good years and all the lovin that I had
And break it to my Grandma, who said "the boy is wild and bad"
Break it to them gently when you tell 'em that I won't be comin home again
(chorus)
You gotta break it to them gently
Gotta really try to roll 'em
Gotta break it to them gently
Gotta really try to soothe them
Gotta really try to roll 'em
You gotta roll it to my Mother
Gotta roll it to my Grandma
Gotta roll the old lady
Roll it to my Grandma, she's damn near eighty
Roll the old lady

Let Him Go, Let Him Tarry
Let Him Go, Let Him Tarry
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Gracie Fields
and multiple other artists
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy
Fare well to cold winter, summers come at last
Nothing have I gained but my true love I have lost
I'll sing and I'll be happy like the birds up in the trees
Since he deceived me I care no more for he
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy
He wrote to me a letter saying he was very bad
I sent him back an answer saying I was awful glad
He wrote to me another saying he was well and strong
But I care no more about him than the ground he walks upon.
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy
Some of his friends had a good kind wish for me
Others of his friends, they could hang me from a tree
But soon I'll let them see my love, and soon I'll let them know
That I can get a new sweetheart on any ground I go
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy
He can go to his old mother now and set her mind at ease
For she's a mean old woman and very hard to please
It's slighting me and talking ill is what she's always done
Because I was courting her great big ugly son
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy

Oh, dis-moi
Oh, puisque tu pars
Dis-le moi tout doucement

Oh, puisque tu pars
Laisse-moi pleurer tout doucement
Et parle-moi, même si tu mens
Je te croirai comme avant
Nous avions tout
Nous étions tout
Le ciel c'était nous, vraiment
Si tu reprends en moi l'amour
Reprends-le doucement
Oh, dis-moi, dis-moi, très lentement
Donne-moi de voir, hélas, que j'ai perdu
Que j'apprenne ce qu'est la peine
Car après toi, mon cœur, le sais-tu?
Il n'aimera, non, jamais plus

Somethin' inside and it can't be denied

Originally performed by: Brenda Lee
Covered by various other artists
Break it to me gently, let me down the easy way
Make me feel that you still love me
if it's just, if it's just for one more day
Break it to me gently, so my tears, my tears wont fall too fast
If you must go, then go slowly
Let me love you 'till then
The love we shared, for oh so long is such a big part of me
If you must take your love a way, take it gradually
Break it, break it to me gently
Give me time, oh give me a little time to ease the pain
Love me just a little longer, 'cause I'll never ever love again
'Cause I'll never love again

The Sha La La Song
The Sha La La Song
((French Version: À Demain My Darling (by Marie Laforêt) - 1965))
Composer(s): M. Farr
First release by: Marianne Faithfull - 1965
At last it's over
I knew I could not hold him
His love for freedom
Was far too strong
But though he's gone now
My life is just beginning
I'll soon forget him
I'll soon forget him
I must forget him, Lord!
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new day beginning
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new love that waits for me
Will I remember
Will I still hear him whisper?
Will I still feel his
Lips on mine?
In dreams I see him
Perhaps he'll stay forever
And all I'm wishing
And all I'm hoping
And all my longing, too
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new day beginning
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new love that waits for me
He made me happy
And though I suffered, too
There's no mistaking
Our love was true
But such a sweet love
Just wasn't meant to be
And it's all over
Yes, it's all over
And now it's done I'll start anew
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new day beginning
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new love beginning
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new day beginning
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
There's a brand new love beginning
Sha-la-la ...

Bread & Roses
Bread & Roses
Composer(s): Mimi Fariña; James Oppenheim;
Caroline Kohlsaat; Martha Coleman
Performer(s): John Denver
and various other artists
As we come marching, marching in the beauty of the day
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray
Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses
For the people hear us singing, "Bread and roses! Bread and roses!"
As we come marching, marching, we battle too for men
For they are women's children, and we mother them again
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes
Hearts starve as well as bodies, give us bread, but give us roses!
As we come marching, marching, unnumbered women dead
Go crying through our singing their ancient cry for bread
Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew
Yes, it is bread we fight for, but we fight for roses too!
As we come marching, marching, we bring the greater days
The rising of the women means the rising of the race
No more the drudge and idler, ten that toil where one reposes
But a sharing of life's glories, Bread and Roses! Bread and Roses!

Let Go Of The Stone
Let Go Of The Stone
Composer(s): Max D. Barnes
Performer(s): John Anderson
You shouldn't wade out in deep water
when you don't know how to swim
He told you it was over
and like a fool you followed him
into a whirlpool of emotion
spinnin' out of control
It's killin' you, but you won't let him go
Let go of the stone
if you don't wanna drown
in the sea of heartache
that's draggin' you down
It's pulling you under
and you keep hangin' on
If I'm ever gonna save you
Let go of the stone
Oh don't you realize the danger
and the hurt you're headed for
Put your arms around me
and swim with me to shore
Just let go of that ol' mem'ry
I know it's hard to do
But I'll be here
holding on to you
Let go of the stone
if you don't wanna drown
in the sea of heartache
that's draggin' you down
It's pulling you under
and you keep hangin' on
If I'm ever gonna save you
Let go of the stone
