I used to be so fancy free,
But really lonesome as can be
Till one lucky day,
You came my way
I never knew what love was all about
Until I met you
I used to think there’d never be
Someone who’d ever care for me
Then what do you know?
You made it so
I never knew what love was all about
Until I met you
When you kissed me
I felt the seasons change from Winter to Spring
When you kissed me
I lost my reason when I heard the birds sing
Love was the thing
And now I have to rub my eyes
Each time I try to realize
That your love is mine
Ain’t it just fine
I never knew what love was all about
Until I met you
Since I found you I feel
The entire universe real
I never knew what love was all about
Until I met you
I’m the happiest girl
Cause you got my head in a whirl
I never knew what love was all about
Until I met you
And now I have to rub my eyes
Each time I try to realize
That your love is mine
Ain’t it just fine
I never knew what love was all about
Until I met you
I never knew what love was all about
Until I met you
I never knew what love was all about
Until I met you
Alt lyrics:
(/ Felt like a Queen )
(/You’re the most wonderful boy)
(/Cause you bring me nothing but joy)

You Are So Beautiful

You are so beautiful, to me
You are so beautiful, to me
Can’t you see
You’re everything that I hoped for
You’re everything I need
You are so beautiful, to me
You’re everything that I hoped for, and what’s more
You’re everything I need
You are so beautiful, to me
Such joy and happiness you bring,
Such joy and happiness you bring, just like a dream
You’re like a guiding light
Shining in the night
You’re heaven’s gift to me
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful to me

And, Empty & Meaningless
05:35
|

|
I used to worry day and night
About what’s wrong and what’s right
The mind can drive you crazy if you let it
You can’t get it, till you get it
And…
Worry is Empty & Meaningless
I would worry about the money
And if I’d ever get the right honey
I didn’t know that I would find
Worries only exist in my mind
And…
Worry is Empty & Meaningless
(1st ½ Stop Time)
Worry won’t pay the bills
Worry won’t find real love
Worry won’t make me healthy
Only action does
And I didn’t know that I would find
Worry only exists in my mind
And, Worry is Empty and Meaningless
-
And….
And….
And……...

I'm So Blue

I’m So Blue
And I, can’t stand a-walkin’
And I, can’t stand a-talkin’
Thinkin’ over you
I’m so sad
Just don’t, mind my a-squalkin’
And I, can’t stand a-talkin’
Thinkin’ over you
You went away
And I was alone
The stars are gone from in my eyes
Even though I tell no lies
Now I see I have no ties
I’ve begun to realize
I’m So Blue
And I, can’t stand a-walkin’
And I, can’t stand a-talkin’
Thinkin’ over you

I Want to Talk About You
05:26
|
|||
|
Don’t tell me about a night in June
Or a shady lane, beneath a velvet moon
Don’t tell me
Cause I want to talk about you
Don’t mention that waterfall
Or that grassy spot, where crickets softly call
Don’t tell me
Cause I want to talk about you
The moon and the stars
The objects on mars
Are things that we’ve talked of before
But your love for me was a question
Your answer throws back Heaven’s door
So tell me your love will be sincere
Then my darling, you needn’t ever fear
Cause I love you
And I want to talk about you

Every time I hear you
There's something deep inside me
That will not go away
Stays with me every day
Will not go away
Stays with me every day
I'm walking along
Just singing THIS song
With visions of you, in my head
Maybe tomorrow
I'll face NEW sorrow
But for today I'll smile instead
I'm waltzing on air
I haven't a care
Since you TOLD my heart, it could sing
With every minute
Your music’s in it
The sound goes through me
Your spirit moves me
In ways that words cannot explain
Every time I hear you
There's something deep inside me
That will not go away
Stays with me every day
Will not go away….

Lady Sings the Blues
She’s got them bad
She feels so sad
Wants the world to know
Just what her blues is all about
Lady Sings the Blues
She tells her side
Nothing to hide
Now the world will know
Just what the blues is all about
The blues ain’t nothing but a pain in your heart
When you get a bad start
When you and your man have to part
I ain’t gonna just sit around and cry
I know I won’t die
Cause I love him
Lady Sings the Blues
I’m telling you
She’s got ‘em bad
But now, the world will know
She’s never gonna sing them no more
The blues ain’t nothing but a pain in your heart
When you get a bad start
When you and your man have to part
Ain’t gonna just sit around and cry
I know I won’t die, cause I love him
Lady Sings the Blues
I’m telling you
She’s got ‘em bad
But now the world will know
She’s never gonna sing them no more
No more

God Bless the Child

Them that’s got shall get
Them that’s not shall lose
So the bible said
And it still is news
Your Mama may have
And your Papa may have
But God Bless the Child that’s got their own
That’s got their own
Well the strong, they get more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don’t ever make the grade
Your Mama may have
And your Papa may have
God Bless the Child that’s got their own
That’s got their own
Money,
You’ve got lots of friends
They’re all hanging round your door
But when you’re gone, and spending ends
They don’t come around anymore, No
Rich relations may give you
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don’t take too much
Well your Mama may have
And your Papa may have
God Bless that Child that’s got their own
That’s got their own
Money, You’ve got lots of friends
They’re all crowding round your door
When you’re gone, oh, all that spending ends
They don’t come around much anymore, now do they
Rich relations may give you
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don’t take too much
Well your Mama may have
And your Papa, he may have
God Bless the Child that’s got their own
God Bless that Child….

Willow Weep for Me
05:09

Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Bend your branches down, along the ground and cover me
Listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep,
for me
Gone my summer dreams
Lovely summer dreams
Gone and left me here, to weep my tears along the stream
I’m sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep
For me
Listen to the wind
Say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a breaking and making a moan
Murmur to the night
Hide your starry light
So none will find me crying
And sighing all alone
Weepin’ willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down, along the ground and cover me
Listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep
For me

Inside of Blue

My hair is blue
My clothes are too
Even my bathwater is blue when I’m through
My tears are blue
My heart is too
I really just don’t know what to do
I wanna see the inside of you
All I see is the Inside of Blue
I see the Inside of Blue
My crayon is blue
You broke it in two
One for me and one half for you
My dreams are blue
Thinking of you
It’s amazing what some lovin’ can do
I wanna see the inside of you
All I see is the Inside of Blue
I see the Inside of Blue

I’m a Night Butterfly
I will flutter till I die
I don’t care if I do wrong
I just want to sing my song
All my life I’ve had a vision
I never needed a decision
My wings have all the colors in the sky
But I’m a Night Butterfly
I dance, and I sing
I move, and I swing
I hold everything
In the clutch of my wing
I sing my song under the moon
I know the daylight’s coming soon
Yet sometimes I wonder why
I am a Night Butterfly

Ain't No Sunshine

Ain’t No Sunshine when he’s gone
It’s not warm when he’s away
Ain’t No Sunshine when he’s gone
And he’s always gone too long
Anytime he goes away
I wonder this time where he’s gone
Wonder if he’s gone to stay
Ain’t No Sunshine when he’s gone
And he’s always gone too long
Anytime he goes away
And I know, I know, I know… (10 times)
I better leave that poor thing alone,
But there Ain’t No Sunshine when he’s gone
Ain’t No Sunshine when he’s gone
Only darkness every day
Ain’t No Sunshine when he’s gone
And he’s always gone too long
Anytime he goes away...
Every time he goes away...

Use Me
06:26
|
|||
|
Well my friends
Feel it’s their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me
All you want to do is use me
Well my answer
To all that “use me” stuff
Is that I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
My big brother,
He sit me right down and he talked to me
You know he told me,
That I ought not to let you just walk on me
I’m sure he meant well, yes,
But when our talk was through
I said, “Brother, if you only knew,
you’d wish that you were in my shoes”
Just keep on using me,
Until you use me up,
Until you use me up
You know sometimes
It’s true you really do abuse me
You get me in a room with your fancy friends
And then you act real rude to me
But oh baby, baby, baby, baby
When you love me, I can’t get enough
Oh but I’m gonna spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
Talking ‘bout you using me
Well, it all depends on what you do
It ain’t too bad the way you’re using me
Cause I sure am using you
To do the things you do
To do the things that you do
