The Story In Your Eyes


The Story In Your Eyes
Composer(s): Justin Hayward
First release by: The Moody Blues - 1971



I've been thinking about our fortune
And I've decided that we're really not to blame
For the love that's deep in--side us now
It's still the same

And the sound we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It's been shining down upon us now
I realize

Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away

We're part of the fire that is burning
From the ashes we can build another day
But I'm frightened for our children
And the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain

And when the final line is over
And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall
I can hide inside your sweet sweet love
Forever more

Come And Go Blues


Come And Go Blues
Composer(s): Gregg Allman
The Allman Brothers Band
and various other artists



People say that you're no good
But I wouldn't cut you loose, baby, if I could
Well, I seem to stay down on the ground
Baby, I'm too far gone to turn around
Oh, if only you would make up your mind
Take me where you go, you're leaving me behind
Lord, you got those come and go blues
Lord, you got those some and go blues
Yes, you do, oh and you got me feelin' like a fool

'Round 'n' 'round, 'round we go
Don't ask me why I stay here, I don't know
Well maybe I'm a fool to care
Without your sweet love, baby I would be nowhere
Here I'll stay, locked in your web
Till that day I might find somebody else
I don't know just when that would be
I don't know, I can't say as I can't see
Lord you got me feeling like a fool

Sail on, darlin', sail on
Woman, you go your way, and I'll go mine
Seems to me, that I once heard
That everything is finally cured by time
So sail on, darlin', sail on
Lord, I wish you good luck
And I'll see you when you come next time

Woman, you got those come and go blues
Yeah, you got those come and go blues
Yes, you do, oh and you got me feelin' like a fool

Right Place, Wrong Time


Right Place, Wrong Time
Composer(s): Mac Rebennack
Performer(s): Dr. John;
and various other artists



I been in the right place But it must have been the wrong time I'd of said the right thing But I must have used the wrong line I been in the right trip But I must have used the wrong car My head was in a bad place And I'm wondering what it's good for I been the right place But it must have been the wrong time My head was in a place But I'm having such a good time I been running trying to get hung up in my mind Got to give myself a little talking to this time Just need a little brain salad surgery Got to cure this insecurity I been in the wrong place But it must have been the right time I been in the right place But it must have been the wrong song I been in the right vein But it seems like the wrong arm I been in the right world But it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong Slipping, dodging ,sneaking Creeping hiding out down the street See me life shaking with every who I meet Refried confusion is making itself clear Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here I been in the right place But it must have been the wrong time I'd have said the right thing But I must have used the wrong line I'd a took the right road But I must have took a wrong turn Would have made the right move But I made it at the wrong time I been on the right road But I must have used the wrong car My head was in a good place And I wonder what it's bad for

The Story Book Ball


The Story Book Ball
Composer(s): Billie Montgomery - George Perry
Performer(s): Billy Murray
and multiple other artists



In Mother Goose's book up in the nurs'ry
Poor Simple Simon said, "I'm feeling sad"
Said Peter Piper's daughter, "So am I, and think we oughta
Try to think of something that will make us glad"
So Smarty Smarty said, "I'll give a party"
And they called on the Old Woman in the Shoe
The cat she brought her fiddle, and she played "high diddle diddle"
And what happened then, I'm goin' to tell to you

Little Jackie Horner, eating pie up in the corner
Stuck in his thumb, pulled out a plum
Little Missy Muffet she was sitting on a tuffet
And she said, "Yum, yum! Please give me some"
Little Georgie Porgie with his pudding and pie
Kissed Mary Quite Contrary till he made her cry
And Little Bo Peep she lost her sheep
And couldn't find 'em, their tails behind 'em

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater had a wife and couldn't keep her
At the ball in the hall
Humpty Dumpty met her, said, "Better that I get her
And I'll make her fall" That's not all
Old King Cole, that merry old soul
He fell for Mother Hubbard, blew his big bankroll
Buying lollipops and pretties for the kiddies
At the Story Book Ball

They danced and sang till early in the morning
They really didn't know just when to stop
So as the day was dawning and the kiddies all were yawning
They found out the mouse had run up in the clock
Then Jack Be Nimble, Jack Be Quick, he started
And right over that big candlestick he flew
Then Little Tommy Tucker started singing for his supper
And then Poor Boy Blue said, "Gee, I'm hungry too"

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickling peppers
Brought 'em to the hall, and that's no stall
Tommy Tom the piper's son, he stole a pig and away he run
To the ball. Ah, that's not all
Polly put the kettle on, the tea got cold
They had to eat the porridge that was nine days old
Then Jack fell down, Jill broke her crown
And spilled the water. She hadn't oughta

Four and twenty blackbirds were baking in a pie
And they refused to sing anything
Wasn't that an awful way for little birds to act
Before a queen and king? Such a thing!
Said the Knave and the King to the Queen of Hearts
"Come on, hurry up, honey, bring some tarts"
So she did and the kids had a picnic
At the Story Book Ball

If I Had A Dozen Hearts


If I Had A Dozen Hearts
Composer(s): Harry Revel - Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Betty Hutton & Andy Russell



If I had a dozen hearts
And if you had only one
If I had a dozen hearts
I would love you twelve times one
If I had a dozen lips
I would say twelve times a day
“Darling, I love you”

If I had a dozen arms
They would all be holding you
If I had a dozen dreams
In your arms they would all come true
Although I know a dozen hearts are fun
I couldn’t love you much more than I do with one

Come And Get Your Happiness


Come And Get Your Happiness
Composer(s): Samuel Pokrass; Jack Yellen
Performer(s): Shirley Temple



Why are grown up peoples faces
Wrinkled like a lot of prunes
Money money that's what chases them
Around like crazy loon's
I think they make a big mistake
Wealth and happiness that counts
Are free to all in large amounts

There's millions worth of golden sunbeams
That everybody can possess
All Gods children got success
Come and get your happiness

There's billions worth of silver moonbeams
Enough for everyone I guess
What's a million more or less
Come and get your happiness

Among the wildwood of your happy childhood
Where you were Jill's and Jack
In raggy britches there's a lot of riches
On which you don't pay any income tax

So get under their blue heaven
Away from trouble and distress
Just find Mother Nature's address
And come and get your happiness

Right or wrong, I'll always love you
Though you're gone, I can't forget

Though I prayed that you'd be true
In your heart, please just remember
Right or wrong, I'm still in love with you

Right or wrong, I'll always love you
Though you're gone, I can't forget
Right or wrong, I'll keep on dreaming
Still I wake with that same old regret

Though I prayed that you'd be true
Oh Lord, in your heart, please just remember
Right or wrong, I'm still in love with you

A Square In The Social Circle


A Square In The Social Circle
Composer(s): Jay Livingston - Ray Evans
Performer(s): Betty Hutton; Paul Weston; Darlene Popovic



When I was young I found it grim
To gurgle in the social swim
The dos and don'ts, the lah-di-dahs
To me were just a lot of Blah!
I used my silver spoon at birth
For throwing meatballs at my nurse
I always chose to thumb my nose
At smarty clothes and party pose
I ditched the rich and sable set
To join the kitchen table set...

I use the wrong fork at the Stork in New York
My manners ain't fit for a goof
I'm just a square in the social circle
Who put that fly in my soup?

I'd rather go out with a lout to a bout
Than sleep in a symphony hall
I'm just a square in the social circle
Who knocked my gum off that wall?

When the orderly order flows like butter
I want to start pitchin' a curve
With a silly old blighter on a first nighter
I feel like a pickled hors d'ouvres, no verve

I never felt gay in a fancy beret
I wear babooshka or burst
I'm just a square in the social circle
Finger bowls hurt me the worst
They just don't quench my thirst!

Mrs. Vanderhorst will greet me with a fourteen carat shout
"My Dear, you've simply got to come to my daughter's coming out"
Her daughter is a Frankenstein, a Dracula in mink
When she comes out, each stag will shout "Gadzooks, I need a drink"
I've dined in clubs, I've elbow rubbed from Yonkers to Cheyenne
Phoo to you, bud, take your blue blood and stick it in your fountain pen!

I wanna brush all the plush and the gush
I'd rather get left than be right
I'm just a square in the social circle
Anyone here want a fight?

None of me fits with the wits at the Ritz
I'd rather relax on a stool
I'm just a square in the social circle
Anyone wanna shoot pool?

When the cookie with cabbage gets too savage
Wrastle him three out of four
I would rather a sailor hop in my trailer
And show me his nautical lore, why sure

The ladies in frills only fill me with chills
They're soft as a ball of chenille
I'm just a square in the social circle
I got a muscle of steel
Anyone here want to feel?

I'm as square as a pair in a bootaneer
Fancy silk won't stay on
I'm designed for rayon
But I just don't seem to care
I'm a square!

Come And Get These Memories


Come And Get These Memories
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; Brian Holland; Edward Holland Jr.
Performer(s): Martha & The Vandellas
and various other artists



Lover you've gone from me
And left behind so many memories

Here's your old friendship ring
I can't wear it no more
Here's your old love letters
I can't read them any more

Lover you've gone from me
And left behind so many memories

Here's that old teddy bear
That you won from me at the state
Here's some old valentine cards
Give it to your new sweetheart

Lover you've gone from me
And left behind so many memories

Come and get em, come and get em

Here's our old favorite record
I can't stand to hear it anymore
Here's some old lingering love
Its in my heart and its tearing it apart

Because of these memories
I never think of anybody but you
So, come on and get 'em
'Cause I found somebody new
Come and get these memories
Since you've gone out of my life
Come and get these memories
Since you've gone out of my life
Come and get these memories
Since you've gone out of my life
Come and get these memories
Since you've gone out of my life

Right On The Tip Of My Tongue


Right On The Tip Of My Tongue
Composer(s): Joe Cobb; Van McCoy
Performer(s): Brenda & The Tabulations



It was right on the tip of my tongue
And I forgot to say "I love you"
It was right on the tip of my tongue
And I forgot to say "I love you"

I played the game of love and lost
And now my heart must pay the cost
I had the chance to make you mine but I wasted too much time
And let your love slip away

It was right on the tip of my tongue
And I forgot to say "I love you"
It was right on the tip of my tongue
And I forgot to say "I love you"

While I was wondering where to start
She came along and won your heart
With all the tender words of love that I was thinking of
But never bothered to say

Mmm, wait a minute, wait a minute
I've got something to tell you
Don't walk away, baby

It was right on the tip of my tongue
And I forgot to say "I love you"
It was right on the tip of my tongue
(And I forgot to say) to say, to say...

(Ah, ah, ahh, tip of my tongue) my tongue
(Tip of my tongue)

Spoken:
Didn't you know? Couldn't you see?
I tried to tell you--please...?
Don't you understand? I love you...
Don't walk away...oh, please...?

Come And Get Me


Come And Get Me
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Performer(s): Jackie DeShannon



I know what life has done to you
Things haven't been much fun for you
That's why you went away
And now, I'm all alone
I wasn't meant to be on my own

Turn back, turn back
And come and get me
Oh, come and get me
Take me along
I don't care where you lead me
If you leave me
It can't be wrong just to be with you
There's no place in this world
That I wouldn't go

This time isn't the time for you
You have to be where the skies are blue
And here, the skies are gray
Darling, I understand
Don't you need someone to hold your hand

Turn back, turn back
And come and get me
Oh, come and get me
Take me along
I don't care where you lead me
If you leave me
It can't be wrong just to be with you
There's no place in this world
That I wouldn't go

Oh, please, won't you tell me
Where you've gone to, gone to
If I knew where you were
I'd be right there

Please, send me hope
To be hanging onto
Just to show me you care

Right On


Right On
Composer(s): Marvin Gaye; Earl DeRouen
Performer(s): Marvin Gaye



Hey, baby
That's alright people
I know that's alright
Oh, when we love each other
I know that's alright
Oh, feel it, feel it
Oh, everybody feel it
God knows that's alright, yeah
Some of us were born
With money to spend
Some of us were born
For races to win
Some of us are aware
That it's good for us to care
Some of us feel the icy wind
Of poverty blowing in the air
For those of us
Who simply like to socialize
For those of us who tend to the sick
Ah, and heed the people's cries
Let me say to you
Right on
Right on, feel it
Oh, Lord, Lord, people
And I say, right on
Honey right on
For those of us who live
Where peace is craved
For of us who live, uh huh
Where hatred is enslaved, alright
For those of us who live a life
Yea, surrounded by good fortune and wealth
Talk about it
Those of us who live a life
Hey, hey, hey, enjoying ourselves
For those of us who got drowned
In the sea of happiness
For the soul that takes pride
In his God
And himself and everything else
Love
That's all it is
We need love
That's all it is
Love, love
Love's the thing
Love, love, love, love
Sweet love, love
Wonderful love
Ah, true love, love
Love for your brother
Love for God
Pure love
Love can conquer hate everytime
Give out some love and you'll find
Peace sublime
And my darling, one more thing
If you let me, I will take you
To live where love is King
Ah, ah, baby, baby
People, people
People who love and care
That's alright
Alright
Ah.............

The State I'm In


The State I'm In
Composer(s): Glenn Hughes
Performer(s): Glenn Hughes



I know that something is wrong
And I know it’s for real
I don’t know what I’ve become
And what do I feel?
Is it for real?

Stranger than fiction, I’m lying in fear in my room
This is the chosen, I’m leaving the pain
The black cloud is fallin’ again
The black cloud is fallin’

And he takes me higher, 2 the state I’m in

I’m looking down on the Earth as we sail ‘cross the sky
I’m not alone anymore
And I don’t wonder why, wonder why
Locked in this dream
I’m dying 2 open my eyes

Lost in the sadness
Now I’m overcome
The black cloud is fallin’ again
The black cloud is fallin’

This is the chosen, I’m leaving
The black cloud is fallin’ again

Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again

Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again

Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again

Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again

If you want it, here it is
Come and get it
Make your mind up fast
If you want it any time

Will you walk away from a fool and his money?

Come and get it
But you better hurry 'cos it's going fast
Sonny if you want it, here it is
Come and get it
But you better hurry 'cos it's going fast - Do

Right Now
Composer(s): Herbie Mann; Carl Sigman
Performer(s): Mel Tormé



Right now, let me take you by the hand
Right now, put your lips at my command
Right now, fly me onto lovers’ land
Baby, don’t you leave me at the post
Kiss me, let me feel it coast to coast
Right now, baby, need your love the most

You have set my soul on fire
Only you can satisfy this great desire

Right now, let the whole world break in two
Right now, stars will tumble from the blue
Right now, just as long as I’m with you

Right now, it’s the time and it’s the place
Right now, for a ride through outer space
Right now, let me have that wild embrace

You have set my soul on fire
Only you can satisfy this great desire

One time, let the wine of love flow free
One time, be the lover you can be
Right now, come and give yourself to me

The Stars Will Remember

Performer(s): Vaughn Monroe

The stars will remember
The night we said goodbye
The stars will remember
So will I

A rose as a token
A kiss that brought a sigh
The stars will remember
So will I

And now the stars and I
We share the lonely lane
But in my solitude
It seems I hear you call my name

The world may forget you
As time goes passing by
The stars will remember
So will I

The world may forget you
As time goes passing by
The stars will remember
So - will - I

Come All Ye


Come All Ye
Composer(s): Sandy Denny; Ashley Hutchings
Performer(s): Fairport Convention



Come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky

Those that dance will start to dance
And those who don't will sway
In time to this our merry tune
That we play for you today

So come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky

Our fiddler, he just loves to play
And that's why he plays so good
And now he plays a violin
Made out of solid wood

So come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky

Possessor of the magic touch
But no magician, he
Will play for you some magic notes
Instead as you will see

So come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky

The sound of beating on the drums
From behind you hear
And to the rhythm of guitar
We hope you'll lend an ear

So come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky

Well, the man who plays the bass does make
Those low notes that you hear
And the high notes come from you and me
For we will sing so clear

So come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky
