Lady Madonna

(Words & music by Lennon - McCartney)

See how they run

Lady Madonna, children at your feet

Wonder how you manage to make ends meet

Saturday morning arrives without a suitcase

Sunday morning creep in like a nun

Friday's child forget to tie his suitcase

See how they run

Lady Madonna, children at your feet

Wonder if you're having fun making ends meet

Lawdy Miss Clawdy

(Words & music by Lloyd Price)

Well lawdy, lawdy, lawdy miss clawdy

Girl you sure look good to me

But please don't excite me baby

I know it can't be me

I always give you all my money

You like to ball every morning

Don't come home till late at night

Oh gonna tell, tell my mama

Lord, I swear girl what you been to me

I'm gonna tell everybody that I'm down in misery

So bye, bye, bye, baby

Girl, I won't be comin' no more

Goodbye little darlin' down the road I'll go

So, bye, bye, bye baby

Girl, I won't be comin' no more

Goodbye little darlin' down the road I'll go

Lead Me, Guide Me

(words & music by Doris Akers)

Lead me oh Lord, won't you lead me

I am tired and I need Thy strength and power

To guide me over my darkest hour

For just open my eyes that I may see

Lead me oh Lord, won't you lead me

Lead me, guide me along the way

For if you lead me I cannot stray

Or just open my eyes that I may see

Lead me oh Lord, won't you lead me

I am lost if you take your hand from me

I am blind without try light to see

Lord just always let me Thy servant be

Lead me oh Lord, won't you lead me

Lead me, guide me along the way

For if you lead me I cannot stray

Lord just open my eyes that I may see

Lead me oh Lord, won't you lead me

Let It Be Me

(words & music by Curtis - Delanoe - Becaud)

God bless the day I found you

I want to stay around you

And so I beg you

Let it be me

Don't take this heaven from one

If you must cling to someone

Now and forever

Let it be me

Each time we meet love,

I find complete love

Without your sweet love

Tell me, what would life be?

So never leave me lonely

Tell me you love me only

And that you'll always

Let it be me

Let Me

(Words & music by Vera Matson - Elvis Presley)

Whenever I dance with the girl I love

My head goes round and round

When she's close to me

I can't stay on the ground

Whenever I dance with the girl I love

I never have a care

All night I'm so light

I walk right on the air

Oh let me, oh honey let me

Let me do what you know I love to do

Please take another chance and let me

Let me have another dance with you

Whenever I feel those pretty arms

Reaching round about

That feeling goes to my toes

And all the lights go out, go out, go out

Whenever I see those eyes of blue

Smiling up so shy

I'm in such a spin I take right off and fly

So let me, oh honey let me

Let me do what you know I love to do

Please take another chance and let me

Let me have another dance with you

So let me dance in the arms I love

Thrill me through and through

I'm so drunk with love

That all I see is you

I never hear the music play

I never see the crowd

Only you and me

Dancing on a cloud

Oh let me, oh honey let me

Let me do what you know I love to do

Please take another chance and let me

Let me have, another dance, with you

Let Me Be There

(Words & music by J. Rostill)

Wherever you go

Wherever you may wonder in your life

Well surely you know, I always wanna be there

Holding your hand

And standing by to catch you when you fall

Seeing you through, in everything you do

I said let me be there in your morning

Let me be there in your night

Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right

Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share

All I ask you, is let me be there

Watching you grow

And going through the changes in your life

That's how I know, I always wanna to be there

Whenever you feel you need a friend to lean on

Here I am

Whenever you call, you know I'll be there

I said let me be there in your morning

Let me be there in your night

Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right

Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share

All I ask you, is let me be there

Let me be there in your morning

Let me be there in your night

Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right

Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share

All I ask you, is let me be there

All I ask you is let me be there

I said let me be there in your morning

Let me be there in your night

Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right

Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share

All I ask you, is let me be there

All I ask you is let me be there

Let's Be Friends

(Words & music by Arnold - Morrow - Martin)

Don't be afraid, you and I were made the same little one

And I know what it's like when you feel left out of the game

little one

But if you take this helping hand that I lift

Then we can smile together, let's be friends

The world that you see may seem to be a mystery to you

The night may be dark but hope very hard and dreams can

come true

You live in silence but for once let's pretend

We're talking here together, let's be friends

You're not alone, I've always known that we'd get along

And someone I know says life is good and He can't be wrong

There's fun and laughter just waiting round the bend

Let's find them now together, let's be friends

Let's find them now together, let's be friends

Let's Forget About the Stars

(Words & music by Owens)

If you let the stars keep telling you

Who to love and not to love

You may never find contentment for your heart

You could go unloved forever and darling that means never

Surrender to love, let's forget about the stars

You say that stars have promised you true love ten thousand

times

But here you are with a broken heart and mind

I can tell you want to love me from the beating in your heart

Surrender to love, let's forget about the stars

Let's forget about the stars, come follow me my dove

To a world just like the world that you've been dreaming of

Let's not wait too long for something might go wrong

Surrender to love, let's forget about the stars

Let's forget about the stars

Let's forget about the stars

Let's forget about the stars

Let Us Pray

(Words & music by B. Kaye - B. Weisman)

Let Yourself Go

(Words & music by Joy Byers)

Well baby I'm gonna teach you what love's all about tonight

Trust me honey everything's gonna be all right

You gotta do like I do there ain't nothing to it

Listen to me baby anybody can do it

All you gotta do is just let yourself go

Now don't be afraid just relax and take it real slow

Cool it baby you ain't got no place to go

You'll be ready for the grand finale

So come on baby let's go

Let's go, let's go' let's go

Let yourself go right now Yeh! let yourself go

Let yourself go right now Yeh! let yourself go

Yeh! let yourself go

All you gotta do is just let yourself go

Life

(words & music by Milete)

Somewhere out in empty space,

long before the human race,

Something stirred,

A vast and timeless source began,

Intelligence was born and then,

there was the world,

Powers filled the universe,

matter formed and broke the curse,

Of nothingness,

Love became an ageless soul,

nature reached her highest goal,

And breathed the breath of life,

Everlasting life.

Well creatures come from out of sight,

Daylight came from in the night,

and all was good,

Life became a masterplan,

Love produced the perfect man,

that understood,

The image of the makers word,

worshipped him with all he had,

But then one day,

From in the depths an evil seed,

grew and manufactured greed,

That changed the way of life,

Everlasting life,

Oh the loving power looked and saw,

Inside the heart of man a flaw,

began to grow,

Well, the fires of hell began to burn,

and so he sent his chosen son,

To let us know,

That love had surely made us all,

and hate would surely make us fall,

So from the cross,

Well he showed the world that dreadful day,

That love could be the only way,

or all is lost of life,

Everlasting life,

For life is love,

And love is life.

Like a Baby

(Words & music by Jesse Stone)

You gave me love to enjoy

Like a bright shiny toy to a baby

No matter what you would do

I depended on you like a baby

One thing I know I love you

Yes I loved you like a baby

It was a fool that you took

And I think 'cause you look like a baby

To lover's ways I was blind

'Cause I just had a mind like a baby

You're just a flirt

And I had to be her guide like a baby

I need you so, I need you so

The day I found I am alive

Then I broke down and cried like a baby

Well it was then I could see

You were playing with me like a baby

Well you can bet that some day

I'll forget just like a baby

Little Cabin on the Hill

(words & music by Bill Monroe - Lester Flatt)

Tonight I'm alone without you my dear

It seems that there's a longing for you still

Oh but I just keep it there so I won't be alone

In our little cabin on the hill

Oh someone has taken you from me

And left me here all alone

To listen to the rain beat on our window pane

In our little cabin on the hill

Little Darlin'

(Words & music by M. Williams)

Little darlin', little darlin'

Oh where, are you, oo oo oo oo

Walla walla chipa mocka mogga

Oh my lover, oh just for you, only you

My darling, I need you

Darling I need you to call my own

To hold your life, your little foot, your hand

I knew someone would understand that

Hold my hand

My dear, I would run

To find without you

Oo oo oo oo oo

Oh, oo oo oo

That my love was just for you, 'n only you

Little Egypt

(Words & music by Leiber - Stoller)

I went and bought myself a ticket and I sat down in the very

first row

They pulled the curtain but then when they turned the spotlight

way down low

Little Egypt came out a-struttin' wearin' nothin' but a button

and a bow

Singing, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying

She had a ruby on her tummy and a diamond big as Texas on

her toe

She let her hair down and she did the hoochie-coochie real

slow

When she did her special number on the zebra skin I thought

she'd stop the show

Singing, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying

She did her triple somersault and when she hit the ground

She winked at the audience and then she turned around

She had a picture of a cowboy tatooed on her spine

Said, Phoenix, Arizona 1949

Yeh, let me tell you people Little Egypt doesn't dance there

anymore

She's too busy mopping and a-takin' care of shopping at the

store

'Cos we've got seven kids and all day long they crawl around

the floor

Singing ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying

Little Sister

(words & music by Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman)

Well, I dated your big sister

And took her to a show

I went for some candy

Along came Jim Dandy

And they snuck right out of the door

Ev'ry time I see your sister

Well she's got somebody new

She's mean and she's evil

Like that old Boll Weevil

Guess I'll try my luck with you

Well, I used to pull your pigtails

And pinch your turned-up nose

But you been a growin'

And baby, it's been showin'

From your head down to your toes

Little sister, don't you

Little sister, don't you

Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice

Then say it's very nice

And then you run

Little sister, don't you

Do what your big sister done

Lonely Man

(Words & music by Benjamin - Marcus)

It's a lonely man

Who wanders all around

It's a lonely man

Who roams from town to town

Searchin', always searchin'

For something he can't find

Hopin', always hopin'

That some day fate will be kind

It's a lonely man

Who travels all alone

When he has no one

That he can call his own

Always so unhappy

Taking shelter where he can

Here I am

Come meet a lonely, lonely man

Always so unhappy

Taking shelter where he can

Here I am

Come meet a lonely, lonely man

Here I am

Come meet a lonely, lonely man

Lonesome Cowboy

(Words & music by Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett)

I am just a lonesome cowboy

And I'm travelling all alone

I ain't even got a nickel

To call my baby on the phone

Just beyond the mountain lies a city

And I hear it calling me

Saddle up and ride you lonesome cowboy

Here is where you'll find your destiny

In my dreams the lights shine bright and pretty

Near to me and yet so far

Will I always be a lonesome cowboy

Am I only reaching for a star

Ride. Ride, ride, ride along cowboy

Sing, sing, sing, sing a song cowboy

Will I ever leave this lonesome valley

Really see the lights that shine

Gotta find what lies beyond the mountain

Gotta rope and tie that dream of mine

I am just a lonesome cowboy

And I'm travelling all alone

If you don't call me baby

Then I'm never coming home

Long Black Limousine

(Words & music by V. Stovall - B. George)

There's a long line of mourners

Driving down our little street

Their fancy cars are such a sight to see, oh yea

They're all rich friends who knew you in the scene

And now they've finally brought you

Brought you home to me

When you left you know you told me

That some day you'd be returnin'

In a fancy car, all the town to see, oh yea,

Well now everyone is watching you

You finally had your dream, yea

You're ridin' in a long black limousine

You know the papers told of how you lost your life, oh yea

The party, the party and the fatal crash that night

Well the race along the highway, oh the curve you didn't see

When you're riding in that long black limousine

Through tear filled eyes I watch as you pass by oh yea

A chauffeur, a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine

Well I never, I never, never, never

Oh my heart, all my dreams yea, they're with you

In that long black limousine

Yea, yea, they're with you in that long black limousine

Yea, yea, they're with you in that long black limousine

Long Legged Girl (With a Short Dress on)

(Words & music by McFarland - Scott)

All right

I've been thumbin' rides travellin' light

Walked the streets till past midnight

Trampin' roads, trails and lanes

Scaling cliffs fields and plains

Searchin' till the early dawn

For that long legged girl with the short dress on

Riding trucks, bikes and skis

Sailing lakes and brooks and seas

Driving wagons, cars and jeeps

Walking stilts in ten foot leaps

Searchin' till the early dawn

For that long legged girl with the short dress on

And everywhere I go she's been and gone

She's fine, it's just too bad she's the travellin' kind

So fine, I just can't rest till I make her mine

I've been from Maine to Tennessee, Mexico from Wahkiki

Rain or shine, sleet or snow

Searchin' high, searchin' low

Everything depends upon

That long legged girl with the short dress on

She's fine, it's just too bad she's the travellin' kind

So fine, I just can't rest till I make her mine

I've been from Maine to Tennessee, Mexico from Wahkiki

Rain or shine, sleet or snow

Searchin' high, searchin' low

Everything depends upon

That long legged girl with the short dress on

The long legged girl with the short dress on

(It's a) Long Lonely Highway

(Words & music by Pomus - Shuman)

It's a long lonely highway when you're travellin' all alone

And it's a mean old world when you got no-one to call your

own

And you pass through towns too small to even have a name,

oh yes

But you gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere

Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care

Just keep movin' down the line

It's a long lonely highway without her by my side

And it's a trail full of teardrops that keep on being cried

My heart's so heavy it's a low down dirty shame oh yes

You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere

Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care

Just keep movin' down the line

I gotta rock for my pillow 'neath a weeping willow

And the cool grass for my bed

My drinking water's muddy so don't you tell me buddy

That I wouldn't be better off dead

It's a long lonely highway gettin' longer all the time

And if she don't come and get me

Well, I'm gonna lose my mind

So if you read about me tell her she's the one to blame, oh yes

You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere

Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care

Just keep movin' down the line

Movin' down the line

Movin' down the line

Long tall Sally

(words & music by Johnson - Penniman - Blackwell)

Gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John

He says he has the blues but

He has a lotta fun

Oh baby, yes baby, whoo-oo-oo-oo baby

Havin' some fun tonight yeah well!

Long tall Sally has a lot on the ball

And nobody cares if she's long and tall

Oh baby, yes baby, whoo-oo-oo-oo baby,

I'm having me some fun tonight

Well, I saw uncle John

With long tall Sally

He saw Aunt Mary comin'

And he ducked back in the alley

Oh baby, yes baby, whoo-oo-oo-oo baby

I'm havin' some fun tonight

We've gonna have some fun tonight

Gonna have some fun tonight

We're gonna have some fun tonight

Everything will be all right

We're gonna have some fun

Gonna have some fun tonight

Look Out Broadway

(Words & music by Wise - Starr)

We never got discouraged, we never had a doubt

'Cos sooner or later talent must win out

Look out Broadway, we're comin' fast

Now we're gonna see our names in lights at last

No more hot dogs at Sloppy Joe's

We're gonna dine on steak and wine at Del Monaco's

Rich or poor it's great to have dough

That's one thing we know

Lots of fun, lots of laughs

Signing cheques and contracts and autographs

We're up for N-E-W Y-O-R-K

Look out, look out Broadway

I wanna see all the hustle and bustle

Maybe I can get a date with Lilian Russell

I want to go out with Diamond Jim

Yeh, if he gives you a diamond what will you give to him

Blow the trumpets and beat on the drum

Big time here we come

No more cheap hotels and one night stands

We'll knock Tin Pan Alley flat on its pans

They'll see that we've got class with a capital K

Look out, look out Broadway

Look out!

Love Coming Down

(Words & music by Jerry Chesnut)

I remember how your eyes used to light up

Over promises that I made

But for the first time in my life

I know now how it feels to be afraid

I don't know what I'd do if you go away

This would sure be one lonely old town

For a man's so busy going up in the world

That he couldn't see love coming down

Love coming down

I remember all the times you told me

Love's all that matters to you

And looking back now, wondering how I believed

I had things more important to do

I can see how I must have looked to you

Like some fool on a merry-go-round

And that a man's so busy going up in the world

That he couldn't see love going down

Love going down

Can't you see how everything I've learned

Would just be wasted if you leave me

If you just give one more try

I swear I'll always be here when you need me

If you can find it in your heart to forgive me

I'll try to keep both my feet on the ground

But if a man's so busy going up in the world

That he couldn't see love coming down

Love coming down

Love Letters

(words & music by Heyman - Young)

Love letters straight from your heart

Keep us so near while apart

I'm not alone in the night

When I can have all the love you write

I memorize ev'ry line

I kiss the name that you sign

And darlin, then I read again right from the start

Love letters straight from your heart

Love Me

(words & music Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)

Treat me like a fool,

Treat me mean and cruel,

But love me.

Wring my faithful heart,

Tear it all apart,

But love me.

If you ever go,

Darling, I'll be oh so lonely

I'll be sad and blue,

Crying over you, dear only.

I would beg and steal

Just to feel your heart

Beatin' close to mine

Well, if you ever go,

Darling, I'll be oh so lonely

I'll be sad and blue,

Crying over you, dear only.

I would beg and steal

Just to feel your heart

Beatin' close to mine

Well, if you ever go,

Darling, I'll be oh so lonely

Beggin' on knees,

All I ask is please, please love me

Oh yeah

Love Me, Love the Life I Lead

(Words & music by MaCauley - Greenaway)

I am not a wise man neither am I a fool

But what I am the way the good Lord made me

Though I need you more than you may ever understand

I can't wear a face that will betray me

Oh, If you're gonna love me, love the life I lead

Need the things I need, don't try to change me

If you're gonna take me, take me for what I am

I can't be another man, I can't be free

'Cos The life I lead is the life I lead

Money in my pocket never seems to last too long

I've gambled on the way and drowned my sorrows

Though God knows I can't pretend it's better on my own

I can't promise you a new tomorrow

Oh, If you're gonna love me, love the life I lead

Need the things I need, don't try to change me

If you're gonna take me, take me for what I am

I can't be another man, I can't be free

'Cos The life I lead is the life I lead

Love Me Tender

(words & music by Vera Matson - Elvis Presley)

Love me tender,

love me sweet,

never let me go.

You have made my life complete,

and I love you so.

Love me tender,

love me true,

all my dreams fulfilled.

For my darlin' I love you,

and I always will.

Love me tender,

love me long,

take me to your heart.

For it's there that I belong,

and we'll never part.

Love me tender,

love me dear,

tell me you are mine.

I'll be yours through all the years,

till the end of time.

(When at last my dreams come true

Darling this I know

Happiness will follow you

Everywhere you go).

Love Me Tonight

(Words & music by Don Robertson)

May this tenderness cling

When the fire of Spring

Is a memory

May you still be my own

When a hundred years have flown

But if it can't be

Give this moment to me

While our dream is bright

Put your sweet arms around me

And love me tonight

Love me tonight

Let me feel your lips on mine

And though I pray

Forever and a day I'll be

Possessing you

I'll confess to you

If I knew that our love would be gone

With the stars in the dawn's grey light

I'd still hold you close and whisper

Love me tonight

Lover Doll

(Words & music by Wayne - Silver)

Lover doll, oh lover doll

Lover doll, lover doll

You're the cutest lover doll

That I ever did ever see

Let me tell you lover doll

You were meant, just meant for me

On the first time that I saw you

How I fell for your cuddly charms

Lover doll I'm crazy for you

Let me rock you in my arms

I'm so glad I found you

Never thought dollies came full grown

I'm gonna tie a ribbon around you

Wrap you up and take you home

I would never treat you badly

Like a cast away broken toy

Lover doll I love you madly

Let me be your lover boy

I'm so glad I found you

Never thought dollies came full grown

I'm gonna tie a ribbon around you

Wrap you up and take you home

I would never treat you badly

Like a cast away broken toy

Lover doll I love you madly

Let me be your lover boy

Lover doll, lover doll

Lover doll, lover doll

Lover doll, lover doll

Let me be your lover boy

Lover doll, lover doll

Lover doll, lover doll

Lover doll, lover doll

Let me be your lover boy

Let me be your lover boy

Let me be your lover boy

Love Song of the Year

(Words & music by Christian)

I used to laugh when I should cry

I used to let these feelings pass me by

But now that I believe them

I got no-one to leave them to me

You see I traded love for what I thought must be free

So I confess my loneliness

And I guess I've lost the best of the year

That I have lost it through my fingers like a golden breath of air

If I cared I wouldn't be singing this love song of the year

I know the time cannot erase the days

Love is past and I've gone away

From now on I'll make it very clear

Cos' I don't want to write

Another love song of the year

It's a lonely song and not too clear

But to me it's very dear

I guess this song can only be

My feelings went out in the sea of love

To me this has got to be the love song of the year

I know the time cannot erase the days

Love is past and I've gone away

From now on I'll make it very clear

Cos' I don't want to write

Another love song of the year

I used to laugh I used to cry

I used to laugh, these feelings passed me by

From now on I'll make it very clear cos' I don't want to write

Another love song of the year

Lovin' Arms

(words & music by Tom Jans)

If you could see me now

The one who said that he would rather roam

The one who said he'd rather be alone

If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now

Just for a moment, if I could really make you mine

Just for a while turn back the hands of time

If I could only hold you now

'Cause I've been too long in the wind

Too long in the rain

Takin' any comfort that I can

Looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains

And lying in your lovin' arms again

If you could hear me now

Singin' somewhere in the lonely night

Dreaming of the arms that hold me tight

If you could only hear me now

'Cause I've been too long in the wind

Too long in the rain

Takin' any comfort that I can

Looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains

And lying in your lovin' arms again

I can almost feel your lovin' arms again.

Loving You

(words & music by Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)

I will spend my whole life through

loving you, loving you.

Winter, summer, spring-time, too,

loving you, loving you.

Makes no difference where I go or what I do.

You know that I'll always be loving you.

If I'm seen with someone new,

don't be blue, don't be blue.

I'll be faithful I'll be true;

always true, true to you.

There is only one for me, and you know who.

You know that I'll always be loving you.
