Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I’m begging of you
Please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don’t take him
Just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of amber green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I can not compete with you, Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
And there’s nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
And I can easy understand how you can easy take my man
But you don’t know what he means to me, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I’m begging of you
Please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don’t take him
Just because you can
Now, you could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He’s the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don’t take him even though you can
Jolene
Pony Ride
(Diane Berglund/Jim Phillips)
You’re going up and down, back and forth
You’re on a wild pony ride
Pony run, run out the door
A free spirit, you hear it
Even the sun won’t bring you down
Pony run, run like before
Night’s coming, keep running
When will those moonbeams slow you down
Turn you ‘round, let you believe
Run, pony, run, can you fly
See the night sky turning blue
Come on Over
(Barry Gibb/Robin Gibb)
If my life gets like a jigsaw
With the pieces out of place
Come on over
Put a smile back on my face
And if all my bad days came at once
You would know just what to do
Come on over
Baby, you would see me through
And if you think I need you
Come on over
Bring your love around
You can dry away my tears
And if you think I need you
Come on over
Lay your body down
You know I will be here
So bring your love around
When I cannot see in front of me
And I know my darkest day
Come on over
You can take it all away
And if you think I need you
Come on over
Bring your love around
You can wipe away my tears
And if you think I need you
Come on over
Lay your body down
You know I will be here
So bring your love around
If you think
If you think I need you
Come on over
Small Talk and Pride
(John Farrar)
We never really had the chance to let each other know
We never really had the time to let our feelings show
Small talk kept us going
When the only words to say
Were how I long to hold you
Pride locked the words away
I never had the confidence to think that you could care
I never looked into your eyes to see if love was there
I talked it over with myself and silently agreed
Your heart was in a high place unreachable to me
I waited too long for a sign from you
Reached for a line that you never threw
Small talk and pride kept us from getting together
Now there’s never a day you’re not on my mind
Saying the words we could never find
Small talk and pride took you from my life forever
I’ll never hold the cards again
To win a love so real
I know I’d gamble everything
But Mistress Fate won’t deal
I just have to be content to learn by my mistakes
Our hearts were just a breath away
Now they’re far enough to break
I waited too long for a sign from you
Reached for a line that you never threw
Small talk and pride kept us from getting together
Now there’s never a day you’re not on my mind
Saying the words we could never find
Small talk and pride took you from my life forever
Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
And I have loved you oh so long
Delighting in your company
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves
If you intend to be this way
It does the more enrapture me
And even so I still remain
A lover in captivity
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves
Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu
God, I pray he will prosper thee
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves
Blue Eyes Cryin’ in the Rain
(Fred Rose)
In the twilight glow I see you
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we’d never meet again
Love is like a dying amber
And only memories remain
And through the ages I remember
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
Someday, when we meet up yonder
We’ll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
Love is like a dying amber
And only memories remain
And through the ages I remember
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
Don’t Throw It All Away
(G. Benson/D. Mindel)
Here we go
Breaking up what we have built
Leaving out all the things that we have felt
Where was I, where was I before you came
From the first time that I saw you
I thought
Maybe I
Maybe I did something wrong
How I tried
But the words won’t fit the song
Found the door
But I could not find the key
From the first time that I saw you
I thought that you may be
So don’t throw it all away
I don’t wanna be the one who’s gonna have to beg you stay
I don’t wanna be the one to change your mind
One more time
Please stay
Don’t throw it all away
Though it seems
That I just take it out on you
Don’t you know
Only you can get me through
Found the door
Now I know that you’re the key
From the first time that I saw you
I knew that you may be
So don’t throw it all away
I don’t wanna be the one who’s gonna have to beg you stay
I don’t wanna be the one to change your mind
One more time
Please stay
Don’t throw it all away
Don’t throw it all away
Please stay
Who Are You Now?
(B. Hart/S. Lawrence)
Somebody said “Tomorrow never brings nothing new”
Wasn’t that someone you?
Who are you now?
Don’t I remember someone standing outside the door
Wasn’t that you before?
Who are you now?
Who were you then?
Who might’ve been forever you?
Wasn’t it strange feeling a change come over you?
Who will you be tomorrow?
Nobody that you’ve been
Watching yourself begin over again
Who are you now?
And who will you turn to then?
Who were you then?
Who might’ve been forever you?
Wasn’t it strange feeling a change come over you?
Who will you be tomorrow?
Nobody that you’ve been
Watching yourself begin over again
Who are you now?
And who will you turn to then?
Smile for me
Let me know that I will always be
The one and only one you’ll always need
Baby, smile for me
Smile for me
Chase away the cloud that constantly
Is like a shadow hanging over me
Baby, smile for me
Smile your smile of total tenderness
Smile the smile that takes away the rain
Smile away my total emptiness
For I never wanna have to cry again
Smile for me
And I’ll become the girl you want to see
No, there’s nothing that I can’t be
If you’ll just smile for me
Smile your smile of total tenderness
Oh smile your smile
Smile the smile that takes away the rain
Smile away my total emptiness
No, I never, never wanna have to cry again
Smile for me
And I’ll become the girl you want to see
No, there’s nothing that I can’t be
If you’ll just smile for me
No, there’s nothing, nothing that I can’t be
If you’ll just smile for me
Smile for me
It’ll Be Me
(John Farrar/Hank Marvin)
Who’s gonna shoe your pretty feet
Who’s gonna hold your hand
Who’s gonna take you out tonight
To listen to the band
Who’ll be the one you love to love
Who’s gonna make you glow
Who’s gonna show you off tonight
When she takes you to the show
It’ll be me
Babe, it’ll be me
Coming for thee
Babe, coming for thee
In case there’s any doubt
Here’s what I’m talkin’ about
It’ll be me
Babe, it’ll be me
Who’s gonna meet you in the morn
Court you through the day
Who’s gonna be there by your side
When you rock the night away
It’ll be me
Babe, it’ll be me
Coming for thee
Babe, coming for thee
In case there’s any doubt
Here’s what I’m talking about
It’ll be me
Babe, it’ll be me
Coming for thee
Babe, coming for thee
In case there’s any doubt
Here’s what I’m talking I’m talking about me
Babe, it’ll be me
It’ll be me, babe
Wrap Me in Your Arms
(Harlan Collins)
Understand I am afraid on my feet
Show me a seat
And give me a chance to recover my strength
And at length I will join in the dance
As you can see I’m all out of time
So scared to stand and swing with the band
Won’t you give me your hand
You seem so strong and handsome to me
We’ll dance
Wrap me in your arms again
Your touch is so much
It’s enough
Wrap me in your arms again
I’m dancing my way into love
I must confess I’ve been on the floor often before
But men stepped on my toes and now God only knows
I was bound to come on to this sweet romance
Now we’ll dance
Wrap me in your arms again
Your touch is so much
It’s enough
Wrap me in your arms again
I’m dancing my way into love
Wrap me in your arms again
Your touch is so much
It’s enough
Wrap me in your arms again
I’m dancing my way into love
The Long and Winding Road
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
The long and winding road that leads to your door
Will never disappear
I’ve seen that road before
It always leads me here
Leads me to your door
The wild and windy night that the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way
Many times I’ve been alone and many times I’ve cried
Anyway you’ll never know the many ways I’ve tried
And still they lead me back to the long, winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don’t leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
