Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind

Lost In Loveliness
Lost In Loveliness
Composer(s): Leo Robin - Sigmund Romberg
Performer(s): Doris Day
and multiple other artists
What a thrill you are
What a sight to see
Something the eyes of mortals have no right to see
Am I on the earth or in the sky?
Lost in loveliness am I
When I look at you
I forget myself
I could go mad about you if I let myself
Should I let myself, or pass you by?
Lost in loveliness am I
I know I'm reaching for a star
What's more, I know how dangerous you are
If I were wise
I'd close my eyes
Or walk away and worship from afar
In the lonely night
You would haunt my heart
And I would pray that someday you might want my heart
And I'd have to live my whole life through
Lost in loveliness, the loveliness of you

Performer(s): Mama's Jasje - 1992
Aan de allerlaatste bladen
van een mooi, maar kort verhaal
waarin ze niet gescheiden waren
blijkt het einde nu fataal
want zijn boodschap wordt haar meegedeeld
terwijl het huwelijkslied al speelt
Hij verdween zonder verhaal
Hij verdween zonder verhaal
Haar verlangen is verdronken
en wat overblijft is pijn
Haar vertrouwen weggeschonken
aan de zeeën van de tijd
Als een zeilboot die maar verder vaart
zo ver weg van waar zij staat
Hij verdween zonder verhaal
Hij verdween zonder verhaal
Zeg mij, zeg mij waarom jij daar vaart en ik hier sta
Geef mij, geef mij nog een kans of doe me jouw verhaal, jouw verhaal...
Kleine dingen die hij niet begreep bleken groter dan de zee
Hij verdween zonder verhaal
Hij verdween zonder verhaal
Zeg mij, zeg mij waarom jij daar vaart en ik hier sta
Geef mij, geef mij nog een kans of doe me jouw verhaal, jouw verhaal...

Lost In Love
Lost In Love
Composer(s): Graham Russell
Performer(s): Air Supply
Oh I realize the best part of love
Is the thinnest lace
That it don't come for much
But I'm not letting go
I believe this too much to believe in
So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I'd figure it out
What I needed was so one to show me
You know you can't fool me
I'd been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on (carry on)
(Now I) Lost in love and I don't know much
Cause to thinking about, and felt out of touch
But I'm back on my feet, and eager to be what you wanted

Always Never Now
Always Never Now
Composer(s): Tim Finn
Performer(s): Tim Finn
Once he thought it was forever
But it's always never now
It was the best decision he ever made
Now he's living with the consequenses
He was still a bit green
Like a sheep in a ballroom
She had the devil in her
He couldn't stop himself experimenting in secret
Fire was a constant theme
Now he's glad that it's over
And the horrible feeling's gone away
Nothing prepares you
He said "I'd do it all again
Just to be where I am"
Once he thought it was forever
But it's always never now
Once he thought it was forever
But it's always never now
And it seems so long ago now
When he didn't have that peace in himself
Two overlapping circles
But you can't find the centre in somebody else
And the hardest of hearts
Couldn't fail to weep
Now he's on his way
Throw him a line as he walks to his sleep
Now he's on his way
Like the scales on a fish
They flash and flicker in the sea
But they're dull in the heat of the sun
When his back was to the wall
In a dirty bar in London
He didn't care about the Beatles
She would be angry & frightened
He would be hopeless & guilty
They had to discover that country for themselves
He went through life always
Looking to turn it around
The only way he can work it
Is from the inside
Making things happen from within
Once he thought it was forever
But it's always never now

Always Near You/Nowhere To Hide
Composer(s): Gene Simmons
Performer(s): Kiss
I've just begun since you've gone
To understand I'm the only one
And if you cross yourself at night
I'll come and see you
Don't run and hide
I'm always near you
I'm always near you, near you
And if you turn out the light
(Turn out the light)
Don't think you'll hide behind the night
(Behind the night)
And if you touch me, I might
Might turn and see you
Don't run and hide
I'm always near you
I'm always near you, near you
I've just begun since you've gone
(Since you've been gone)
To understand I'm the only one
(The only one)
And if you cross yourself at night
I'll come and see you
Don't run and hide
I'm always near you
I'm always near you, near you
Don't run and hide
You'll be the only one
I said don't try to hide for me and everyone
Don't try to hide
You'll be the only one
I said don't try to hide for me and everyone

Lost In A Fog
Lost In A Fog
Composer(s): Dorothy Fields - Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Rudy Vallee & His Connecticut Yankees
and multiple other artists
Like a Ship at sea, I'm just lost in a fog
My mind is hazy, my thoughts are blue
Guess I'll always be kinda
Lost in a fog without you
Waitin' night and day like a bump on a log
I'm goin' crazy, what can I do
Help me find my way
`Cos I'm lost in a fog without you
It was sunny every day
The sky was fair above
But you took the light away
The day you took your love
Only fools like me could be tossed in a bog
I've got a heartache I never knew
Guess I'll always be kinda
Lost in a fog without you
Like a ship at sea, I'm lost in a fog
My mind is hazy, my thoughts are blue
Guess I'll always be kinda
Lost in a fog without you
Waitin' night and day like a bump on a log
I'm goin' crazy, what can I do
Help me find my way
`Cos I'm lost in a fog without you
It was sunny every day
The sky was fair above
But you took the light away
The day you took your love
Only fools like me could be tossed in a bog
I've got a heartache I never knew
Guess I'll always be kinda
Lost in a fog without you

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life
Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life
Composer(s): Eric Idle
First release by: Eric Idle - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing your life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And.....
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle
That's the thing
And...
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin
Give the audience a grin
Enjoy it
It's your last chance, anyhow
So ...
Always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke
It's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
And...
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!

Lost Highway
Lost Highway
Composer(s): Leon Payne
First release by: Leon Payne - 1948
Covered by multiple other artists
I'm a rollin' stone, all alone and lost
For a life of sin I have paid the cost
When I pass by all the people say
Just another guy on the lost highway
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a woman's lies makes a life like mine
Oh, the day we met, I went astray
I started rollin' down that lost highway
I was just a lad, nearly twenty-two
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
And now I'm lost, too late to pray
Lord, I paid the cost, on the lost highway
Now boy's don't start to ramblin' round
On this road of sin or you're sorrow bound
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway

Always Lift Him Up/Kanaka Wai Wai
Always Lift Him Up/Kanaka Wai Wai
Composer(s): Alfred Reed
Performer(s): Ry Cooder
When a fellow has the blues and feels discouraged
And there's nothing else but trouble all his life
When he's always grumbled at and never happy
Living with a scolding, aggravating wife
If he's sick and tired of life and takes to drinking
Do not pass him by, don't greet him with a frown
Do not fail to lend a hand and try to help him
Always lift him up and never knock him down
If he stays out late at night because he's worried
And because his home is not what it should be
Have a smile for him whenever you should meet him
It would help him just the right way, don't you see
If he gambles when he's in the town or city
Tell him what he ought to do to gain the crown
Lend a hand and do not fail to show him pity
Always lift him up and never knock him down
If he cannot pay his debts and feels disgusted
If he's blue and doesn't have a word to say
Let him know you are his friend who can be trusted
It would cheer this lonely fellow on his way
If he finds it hard for him to keep his family
Let a kind word greet his ear when he's around
Don't say anything at all to make against him
Always lift him up and never knock him down
If he has no friends and everyone's against him
If he's failed at everything that he has tried
Try to lift his load, to help to bear his burden
Let him know that you are walking by his side
And if he feels that all is lost, and he is falling
Try to place that poor man's feet on solid ground
Just remember he's some mother's precious darling
Always lift him up and never knock him down
Always lift him up and never knock him down

Lost Her In The Sun
Lost Her In The Sun
Composer(s): John Stewart
Performer(s): John Stewart
Given any day there's a jet flying somewhere
Oh, she bought a ticket and she vanished in the sky
How was I to know she was leaving in the morning
I never heard her go, she never said goodbye
I've learned to love the night 'cause the light's gonna get ya
Right between the eyes in the morning like a gun
Reaching out your hand and she's not there beside you
Oh, what can I say, lost her in the sun
What have I done?
Lost her in the sun
Lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Lost her in the sun
Oh, I lost her in the sun
Fire up your heart for the wind is getting cold now
It always gets cold for the rider's of the night
You carry that scar when you know what lonesome is
Looking for a home like a bird in flight
And what have I done?
Lost her in the sun
Lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Lost her in the sun
Oh, I lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun
Oh, lost her in the sun

When you know you're always late
Always late with your kisses
Why, why, why do you want to do me this way

Performer(s): Nat "King" Cole
and multiple other artists
Lost April, where did you go
Like the winter snow I saw you vanish
Lost April, so soft and warm
A memory not even time can banish
Lost April, that taught me this
A single kiss could lead to heaven
But April had numbered days
So when they passed, love couldn't last
I lost love and you and April, too

Always In My Heart (Forever On My Mind)
Always In My Heart (Forever On My Mind)
Composer(s): J. Fred Coots - Roy Turk
Performer(s): Ethel Shutta
Always in my heart, forever on my mind
No matter what I do I find
That you’re always in my heart, and forever on my mind
When I’m all alone and gloomy clouds appear
Those gloomy clouds are silver lined
‘cause you’re always in my heart and forever on my mind
I have built a world of hopes about you
You’re part of me dear, I’m part of you
Life would be an empty shell without you
A love like this I never knew
Living just for you, today, tomorrow too
And when I leave this world behind
You’ll be always in my heart and forever on my mind

Losing You
Losing You
((Adapted from: Connais-tu (by Tino Rossi))
((Portuguese Version: Perdendo-te (by Moacyr Franco) - 1969))
Composer(s): Pierre Havet - Jean Renard - Carl Sigman
Performer(s): Brenda Lee - 1963
Don't sigh a sigh for me
Don't ever cry for me
This is goodbye for me
I know we're through
I'm losing you
Love sang it's song for me
Then things went wrong for me
Nights are too long for me
Because I'm losing you
Our love and our devotion
Were deep as any ocean
Then one day like the tide you began to change
And you became a perfect stranger
Someone is holding you
Sharing the lips I knew
I can't believe it's true
That I am losing you
I can't believe it's true
That I am losing you

Always In All Ways
Always In All Ways
Composer(s): Frank Harling - Richard Whiting - Leo Robin
Performer(s): Jeanette MacDonald
We all must have our dreary days
As well as bright and cheery days
But sun or shadow you can count on me
Though lady luck may frown on you
And gloomy clouds look down on you
Remember I will still be by your side
Forever
Always in all ways rely upon me
Should any doubt come
Wait for the outcome hopefully
Always in all ways whatever may be
I will rely on just you and trust you
Sometimes in small ways, we may not agree
But we will weather hardship together wait and see
We’ll have a happy ending
If you will keep depending
Always in all ways on me
We’ll have a happy ending
If you will keep depending
Always in all ways on me

Losing Touch
Losing Touch
Composer(s): Bruce Sussman - Jack Feldman - Barry Manilow
Performer(s): Barry Manilow
I can tell something's up
You haven't touched your Scotch
You've been staring out the window
Now you're staring at your watch
And lately that's been happening too much
I think we're losing touch
Is it something I've done
Or things I never said
It's been getting pretty quiet here on your side of the bed
Remember when we used to talk so much
I think we're losing touch
After all the love we found together
Who'd have ever guessed that we could fall
After all the things we had in common
Were they too common after all?
Won't you tell me what's wrong
I haven't got a clue
Is there something we can take for this
Or something we can do?
Together you and I have had so much
There's so much to lose
And I think we're losing touch
