(words & music by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman) I just got your letter baby Too bad you can't come home I swear I'm goin' crazy Sittin' here all alone Since your gone I got a mess of blues I ain't slept a week since Sunday I can't eat a thing all day Every day is just blue Monday Since you've been away Since your gone I got a mess of blues Whoops there goes a teardrop Rollin' down my face If you cry when you're in love It sure ain't no disgrace Whoops there goes a teardrop Rollin' down my face If you cry when you're in love It sure ain't no disgrace I gotta get myself together Before I lose my mind I'm gonna catch the next train goin' And leave my blues behind Since your gone I got a mess of blues I got a mess of blues (Words & music by Tepper - Bennett) Am I ready, can my heart be true?

(words & music by Newbury) Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton Old things they are not forgotten Look away, look away, look away Dixieland Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away In Dixieland I take my stand to live and die in Dixie Cause Dixieland, that's where I was born Early Lord one frosty morning Look away, look away, look away Dixieland Glory, glory hallelujah Glory, glory hallelujah Glory, glory hallelujah His truth is marching on So hush little baby Don't you cry You know your daddy's bound to die But all my trials, Lord will soon be over (words & music by Don McLean) And I love you so, The people ask me how, How I've lived till now I tell them I don't know I guess they understand How lonely life has been But life began again The day you took my hand And yes I know how lonely life can be Shadows follow me The night won't set me free But I don't let the evening get me down Now that you're around me And you love me too Your thoughts are just for me You set my spirit free I'm happy that you do The look at life is brief Once the page is read All but love is dead This is my believe (words & music by Neil Diamond) Listen easy, you can hear God calling Walking barefoot by the stream Come on to me, Your hair's softly falling On my face as in a dream And the time will be our time And the grass won't pay no mind Saying nothing, lying where the sun is Baking down upon our sides My lips touch you, with their soft wet kisses Your hands gentle in reply And the time will be our time And the grass won't pay no mind Child, touch my soul with your cries And the music will know what we've found I, hear a hundred good-byes But today I hear only one sound The moment we're living is now Now now now now now now now Young bird flying, and a soft wind blowing Cools the sweat inside my palms Close my eyes, hear the flowers growing As you lay sleeping in my arms And the time will be our time And the grass won't pay no mind No the grass won't pay no mind (words & music by Battersby - Gabriel) If I have wounded any soul today If I have caused one foot to go If I have lost in my own misery Dear Lord forgive Forgive a sin I have confessed to Thee Forgive my secret sins I do Oh God watch over me and my misery Dear Lord, help me (Words & music by Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett) Angel, with those angel eyes Come and take this earth boy Up to paradise Angel, may I hold you tight? Never kissed an angel Let me kiss one tonight If I said "I love you" Would I be speaking out of turn? I'm only human, but I'm willing to learn Angel, make my wish come true Let me be in heaven here on earth with you Angel, never kissed an angel Let me kiss one tonight If I said "I love you" Would I be speaking out of turn?

Schroeder and C. Owens) I'll be a strong as a mountain, Or weak as a willow tree, Anyway you want me, That's how I will be. I'll be a tame as a baby, Or wild as the raging sea, Anyway you want me, That's how I will be. In your hand my heart is clay, To take a mold as you may. I'm what you make me, you've only to take me, And in your arms I will stay. I'll be a fool or a wise man, My darling you hold the key, Yes, anyway you want me, That's how I will be, I will be. (words & music by Roy Turk and Lou Handman) Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight? Are you sorry we drifted apart? Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day When I kissed you and called you sweetheart? Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare? Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there? Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? I wonder if you're lonesome tonight You know someone said that the world's a stage And each must play a part. Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart. Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange And why I'll never know. Honey, you lied when you said you loved me And I had no cause to doubt you. But I'd rather go on hearing your lies Than go on living without you. Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there With emptiness all around And if you won't come back to me Then make them bring the curtain down. Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? (Words & music by Wayne Walker) Are you sincere when you say I love you Are you sincere when you say you love me too Oh and are you really mine every day, all the time I've gotta know which way to go Will our love grow, are you sincere Are you sincere when you say I love you Honey, are you sincere when you say you love me too And are you really mine every day, all the time I've gotta know which way to go Will our love grow, are you sincere (words & music by Modugno - Giant - Baum - Kaye) Ask me if I wanted to caress you And I'd confess Ask me if I'm longing to possess you I'll answer yes Now that we're together I could hold you close forever And I swear that I would never let you go There's no question that I care more than you Love me darling, just be mine completely And there's nothing I won't do if you Just ask me (Words & music by Wise - Weisman) Let the stars fade and fall And I won't care at all As long as I have you Every kiss brings a thrill And I know that it will As long as I have you Let's think of the future Forget the past You're not my first love But you're my last Take the love that I bring Then I'll have everything As long as I have you Let's think of the future Forget the past You're not my first love But you're my last Take the love that I bring Then I'll have everything As long as I have you As long, as long as I have you (Traditional) As you travel along on the Jericho Road (Elvis: I would take young Johnny Cash to do this) Does the road seem all long and heavy your load Just take it to Christ your sins all confess On the Jericho Road your heart He will bless On the Jericho Road (words & music by Jerry Hubbard) Six foot six stood on the ground, weighted 235 punds But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love He was the kind of man who would gamble on love Look you in the eye and never back up But I saw him crying like a little wet pup because of love Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hands Like the rules that govern our land Strong enough to rule the heart of every man, this thing called love It can lift you up, it can put you down Take your world and turn it all around Ever since time nothing's ever been found stronger than love Men like me they worry and doubt Trouble their minds day in and day out Too busy a livin' to worry about a thing called love When I see a mother's tender lips As she holds a you close to her ribs Then I say thank God this world will win with the thing called love (Words & music by Edwards - David) Did you ever notice when the sun goes down Out of nowhere comes a strange and pretty sound It's a whistling tune for walking in the night If you listen you can hear it in the breeze Specially when the breeze is drifting through the trees It's a whistling tune for walking in the night And the murmuring waters sing the song The echoing mountains hum alomg The whispering valleys fill the air With a whistling tune our hearts can share It's so wonderful to walk beneath the moon Listening to old mother nature's favourite tune It's a whistling tune for walking in the night (Words & music by Giant - Baum - Kaye ) You kiss me darling, a miracle starts A magic feeling, comes into our hearts The spell of love began, when we're alone And we're in, a world of our own You say you want me, and music I hear Touch me my darling, and clouds disappear The sky is bright above, and cares have flown And we're in, a world of our own Holding you close, is heaven Only I know, what it's worth Knowing you're mine, forever Is the greatest wonder on earth Nothing can change it, the magic's begun When we're together, our hearts become one I find a happiness, I've never known When we're in, a world of our own When we're in...a world of our own...
