Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me
Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me
Performer(s): Juice Newton
I've got nothing to be ashamed of
Love's been a little bit hard on me
If I shy away it's only because
Love's been a little bit hard on me
Love's been a little
Oh love's been a little
Love's been a little bit hard on me
Love's been a little
Oh you know just been a little
Love's been a little bit hard on me
I can remember when it's been so much
Love's been a little bit hard on me
I shy away at the slightest touch
Love's been a little bit hard on me
Come out, come out
To the hopeless romantic inside
Shout it's all right, all right
To stay so dark
So close to the light
I'll be back when I calm my fears
Love's been a little bit hard on me
See you around in a thousand years

Lovers Who Wander
Lovers Who Wander
Composer(s): Dion DiMucci - Ernie Maresca
Performer(s): Dion & The Belmonts
When she kissed me I was born and she said goodbye
And I knew right away I was born to cry
Now I'm happy and the joke's on her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander
She took my love, said she's not comin' back
So my world and my sky was all turnin' black
Now I see the light, I'm wise to her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander
A walkin' around thinkin' about her
Never thought I could live without her
She broke my heart, I really showed it
Look at me now, you'd never know it
Now my story can be told with a smiling face
I'm the luckiest guy in the human race
My dreams have gone for her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander
Wo wo wo yeah, she took my love you see
Yeah, she doesn't bother me
Yeah I found that place to be
Yeah, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Yeah walkin' around thinkin' about her
I never thought I could live without her
She broke my heart, I really showed it
Look at me now, you'd never know it
Now my story can be told with a smiling face
I'm the luckiest guy in the human race
All my lovin' dreams have gone for her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander
Dum dum did it, dum dum did it ...

Lovers Never Say Goodbye
Lovers Never Say Goodbye
Composer(s): Terry Johnson - Paul Wilson
Performer(s): The Flamingos
and multiple other artists
Please wait for me; for I shall return
My love for you will forever burn
Though we must part
There's no reason to cry
Just say so long
Because lovers never say goodbye
I love you
My darling more than life itself
I wouldn't try to hurt you
For I'd only be hurting my self
Just kiss me dear
And hold me tight
For you know this is not our last night
Though we must part
There's no reason to cry
Just say so long
Because lovers never say goodbye

Lover's Lullaby
Lover's Lullaby
Composer(s): Janis Ian
Performer(s): Janis Ian; The Walker Brothers
Lay down now and slumber
Mama's boy is torn asunder
All the fields have gone grey
All the leaves are gone brown
Let me tell you a story
Lay down, I know you're weary
While the stars in the sky
While the moon's on the rise
Lay down and don't you wake 'til morning
Close your eyes and helpless through the night
Lay down and dream of love and glory
This is a lover's lullaby
Once was a magician
Fair he was, and handsome
And he brought to the table
all the fool's gold and wine
Well he promised us three favors
Said he was a savior
We drank all his glory
and we borrowed all his time
Lay down and don't you wake 'til morning
Close your eyes and helpless through the night
Lay down and dream of love and glory
This is a lover's lullaby
Bye, my love - sleep tight my love
Softly fade away
The moon was made of old green cheese
To keep the night away
Softly now, close your eyes
Lightly will you fade
The moon was made for wakeful boys
To keep the night away

Lovers In New York
Lovers In New York
Composer(s): Ray Evans - Jay Livingston - Henry Mancini
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis; Marlene VerPlanck; Diane Hubka
Lovers in New York with such a lovely day in store
We'll explore New York big and grand, hand in hand
We'll begin our day smiling at April in the park
Then we'll make our way round the town, up and down
At five we'll linger in a small café and bless the day we've spent
The Broadway lights will lead us to a show
Then home we'll go content dear
Are there new delights hiding behind that old address
Undiscovered heights to possess
Lovers in New York say yes
Are there new delights hiding behind that old address
Undiscovered heights to possess
Lovers in New York say yes

Lovers In A Dangerous Time
Lovers In A Dangerous Time
Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn
First release by: Bruce Cockburn - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
You never get to stop and open your eyes
One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
These fragile bodies of touch and taste
This vibrant skin -- this hair like lace
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
Never a breath you can afford to waste
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
And we're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time

Lover's Cross
Lover's Cross
Composer(s): Jim Croce
First release by: Jim Croce - 1973
Guess that it was bound to happen
Was just a matter of time
But now I've come to my decision
And it's a-one of the painful kind
'Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr
Just a regular guy wouldn't do
But baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
You really got to hand it to ya
'Cause girl you really tried
But for every time that we spent laughin'
There were two times that I cried
And you were tryin' to make me your martyr
And that's the one thing I just couldn't do
'Cause baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
'Cause tables are meant for turnin'
And people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burnin'
When the people and memories they join aren't the same
Still I hope that you can find
Another who can take what I could not
He'll have to be a super guy
Or maybe a super god
'Cause I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain't bout to start nothin' new
And baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

Lover's Beach
Lover's Beach
Composer(s): Blore - Prior - Testi
Performer(s): The Lettermen
This is my dream the one I dreamed that someday you'll share
We're on a beach and we're so much in love the stars stop and stare
Stars have things to do but they stop to look at you there with me
Here by the sea on the beach
And then in my dreams the sea rolls in and kisses the sand
The sky holds the moon and the breeze holds a bird and I hold your hand
Everything is love and we know the meaning of
Something for each on lover's beach
Then you say that you love me, you're everything that is lovely
I want to memorize every kiss, every star in your eyes
This is my dream the one I dream that someday you'll share
What good's a dream when you wake up alone and nobody's there
Come and be with me at that place beside the sea
You'll find love is there within your reach
If you'll stay with me on lover's beach

First recording/First release by: Billie Holiday - 1944/1945
Covered by multiple other artists
I don't know why, but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I've never had
Never had no kissin', oh, what I've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be
The night is cold and I'm so all alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me, but there's no one to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be
I've heard it said
That the thrill of romance can be
Like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears
Huggin' and a-kissin'
Oh, what I've been missin'
Lover man oh where can you be
Oh, what I've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be

Lover Boy
Lover Boy
Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson
Performer(s): Supertramp
I'll tell you from the start
He's gonna break your heart
You can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy
He's gonna tell you lies
But you won't realize
Because you can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy
He's got a thing in his head
It's from a book he's read
It's got a funny title,
It tells you how to be vital
He took a lot of time
Over every line
Because it's guaranteed
To satisfy
He's gonna knock 'em dead
The boy's got that book read
You can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy
Right from the clothes he wears
The way he combs his hair
You can't stop him now, because he knows all the tricks
He used to have a problem but he got it fixed
He took a small apartment
Above a shoe department
And he could see from his window
All the lights in the street glow
There's a club on the corner
And tonight he will go there
To find a new affair
So all you ladies beware
He's got to have a good time in the city
He's got to have a good time every night
He's gonna love 'em and leave 'em, cheat and deceive 'em
He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right
