Sand Castles

 
(Words & music by David Hess - Herb Goldberg)
 
At night
When the sky is still
When the south wind blows
And the air is warm
There's a world that's born
 
And for every child on the beach that day
Stands a castle tall and proud
And the warm wind crawls through the castle walls
And the nightfolk wake as the warm wind calls
 
At night
When the sky is still
When the south wind blows
And the air is warm
There's a world that's born
 
Then the fiddler crab plays his violin
On the back of a dancing whale
While the mermaid sing to the shell they bring
And the dragon leads with his sweeping tail
 
At night
When the sky is still
When the south wind blows
And the air is warm
There's a world that's born
 
For the rosy dawn
Brings the children on to the beach that's bright and new
And the nightfolk know as the castles grow
They will play once more as the children do
 
At night
When the sky is still
When the south wind blows
And the air is warm
There's a world that's born
 
A world that's born
There's a world that's born
A world that's born
 
 

Santa Bring My Baby Back to Me

 
(Words & music by Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
 
I don't need a lot of presents
To make my Christmas bright
I just need my baby's arms
Wound around me tight
Oh oh santa hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me
 
The Christmas tree is ready
The candles all aglow
But with my baby far away
What good is mistletoe
Oh oh Santa, hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me
 
Please make these reindeer hurry
Well their time is drawing near
It sure won't seem like Christmas
Until my baby's here
Fill my sock with candy
And a bright and shiny toy
You wanna make me happy and fill my heart with joy
Then Santa, hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me
 
Please make these reindeer hurry
Well their time is drawing near
It sure won't seem like Christmas
Until my baby's here
Fill my sock with candy
And a bright and shiny toy
You wanna make me happy and fill my heart with joy
Then Santa, hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me
 
Then Santa, hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me
 
 

Santa Claus Is Back in Town

 
(Words & music by Leiber - Stoller)
 
Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling down

You're gonna see me comin' in a big black caddilac
Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town
 
Hang up your pretty stockings

Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town

I wanna soothe my my heart, I wanna ease my mind

Scratch My Back

 
( Words & music by Giant - Baum - Kaye)
 
One good turn deserves another
Be my love, I'll be your lover
It's all part of nature's laws
If you'll scratch my back then I'll scratch yours.
 
If you'll scratch my back then I'll scratch your back
Like two peas in a pack, let's get rid of our itch together,
Hmm
 
Joy they say is in the giving
Come on give, make life worth living
Your welfare is my concern
Do a favour for me, I'll do one in return
 
If you'll scratch my back then I'll scratch your back
Like two peas in a pack, let's get rid of our itch together,
Hmm
 
Scratch me now a little lower
What a feeling do it slower
That's it, Hmm you're getting hot
Well I gotta admit, you just hit the spot
 
If you'll scratch my back then I'll scratch your back
Like two peas in a pack, let's get rid of our itch together,
Hmm
 
If you'll scratch my back then I'll scratch your back
 
 

Seeing Is Believing

 
(words & music by West - Spreen)
 
Every time I see the sun rise
Or a mountain that's so high
Just by seeing is believing
I don't need to question why
When I see a mighty ocean
That rushes to the shore
 
If I ever had cause to doubt Him
I don't doubt Him anymore
Oh seeing, seeing, seeing is believing
And I see him everywhere
In the mountains, in the valley
Yes I know my God is there
Oh, in time I look above me
See the stars that fill the sky
How could there be any question
Only God can reach that high
 
 

See See Rider

 
(arr. by Elvis Presley)
 
I said see, see, see rider
Oh, see what you have done

Oh, see what you have done
Oh girl, you made me love you
Now, now, now your lovin' man has gone
 
hear what I say
 
Well, I'm going away, baby
And I won't be back to fall
Well, I'm going away baby
And I won't be back to fall
And if I find me a good girl
I won't, I won't be back at all
 
Hear what I say, I said
 
See see rider,
Oh see what you have done
Yeah, yeah, yeah
 
 
Sentimental Me
(words & music by Cassin - Morehead)
 
Sentimental me
Guess I'll always will be
So in love with you
Say you love me too
Sentimental me
 
Dreaming while I live
Living just to give
All my love to you
No one else will do
Sentimental me
 
Reaching for the moon
Wishing on the stars
On my honeymoon
I want to be where you are
 
Darling can't you see
It was meant to be
I'm in love with you
Say you love me too
Sentimental me
 
Darling can't you see
It was meant to be

Separate Ways

 
(Words & music by West - Mainegra)
 
I see a change is coming to our lives
It's not the same as it used to be
And it's not too late to realise our mistake
We're just not right for each other
 
Love has slipped away left us only friends
We almost seem like strangers
All that's left between us are the memories we shared
Of times we thought we cared for each other
 
There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind us
And maybe someday, somewhere along the way
Another love will find us
 
Some day when she's older, maybe she will understand
Why her mom and dad are not together
The tears that she will cry when I have to say goodbye
Will tear at my heart forever
 
There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind us
And maybe someday, somewhere along the way
Another love will find us
 
 

Shake a Hand

 
(words & music by Joe Morris)
 
Just leave it to me
Don't ever be ashamed
Just give me a chance
I'll take care of everything
 
Your troubles I'll share
Let me know and I'll be there
I'll stay close to you
Anyplace and anywhere
 
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand if you can
 
Be truthful to me,
I'll be truthful to you
I'm in love with you so
Till I don't know what to do
 
So, let's call it a day
I said all I have to say
Except don't forget to pray
And shake a hand ev'ry day
 
Shake a hand, shake a hand,
Shake a hand if you can

Shake That Tambourine

 
(Words & music by Giant - Baum - Kaye)
 
Shake... the little tambourine
Shake a-ring a jing -jing a-ling
Shake, shake my little dancin' queen
Shake that tambourine, that tambourine
 
I can hear them dancing, in the marketplace
Swishin' and a-swirlin', in their' silks and lace
Bracelets keep a-clinking, on their' tiny feet
And with their tambourines they keep the beat
 
Rings on their fingers, bells on their toes
They make music, wherever they go
Pound that little drum now, tap on it with your thumb
 
Shake, shake the little tambourine
Shake a-ring a-jing-a-ling-a-ling
Shake,shake my little dancin' queen
That tambourine, that tambourine
 
I heard their talent, open palace doors
Every night they're dancin', on those marble floors
Kings may bow before them, but they'll be my own
Then they'll shake their thing for me alone
 
Rings on their fingers, bells on their toes
They make music, wherever they go
Pound that little drum now, tap on it with your thumb
 
Shake, shake the little tambourine
Shake a-ring a-jing-a-ling-a-ling
Shake,shake my little dancin' queen
That tambourine, that tambourine

Wild movin', smooth groovin', clock tickin', love makin'

She's Not You

 
(words & music by Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller - Doc
Pomus)
 
Her hair is soft and her eyes are oh so blue
She's all the things a girl should be,
but she's not you.
 
She knows just how to make me laugh when I feel blue
She's ev'rything a man could want,
but she's not you.
 
And when we're dancing
It almost feels the same
I've got to stop myself from
Whisp'ring your name
 
She even kisses me like you used to do.
And it's just breaking my heart
'cause she's not you.
 
 

She Thinks I Still Care

 
(Words & music by S. Duffy - D. L. Lipscomb)
 
Oh just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I rang her number by mistake today
You know she thinks I, I still care
 
And just because I haunt the same old places
With a memory I will linger everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
Lord, you know, she thinks I still care
 
Well, if she's happy thinking I still need her
Yeh, let that silly notion bring her cheer
Oh how could she ever be so foolish
Tell me where did she get, lord such an idea
 
Yeh, oh lord
 
Just because I asked a friend about her
And you know, just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because, lord I saw her and went to pieces
Lord, you know, she thinks I, lord, still care
 
You know, she thinks I, I still care
 
Lord, she thinks I still care
Oh no she thinks I still care
 
 

She Wears My Ring

 
(Words & music by Boudleaux & Felice Bryant)
 
She wears my ring to show the world that she belongs to me
She wears my ring to show the world she's mine eternally
With loving care I placed it on her finger
To show my love for all the world to see
 
This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion
An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
 
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
 
This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion
An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring

Silent Night

 
(Words & music by Mohr - Gruber)
 
Silent night, holy night.
All is calm, all is bright.
'Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild.
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
 
Silent night, holy night.
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glorious strains from Heaven afar
Heavenly Hosts sing alleluia.
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born.
 
 

Silver Bells

 
(words & music by Ray Evans - Jay Livingston)
 
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
 
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear
 
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
 
Strings of streetlights, even stoplights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you'll hear
 
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
 
 

Singing Tree

And fanned the flame when our love began
So don't pretend you don't know me
Our names are carved on you, singing tree
 
Oh singing tree
Sing to me
Call your friend
The roving wind
Maybe he can find my love
And bring her back, singing tree

Sometimes I think you loved her too
But since she left and our love died
You stand petrified, singing tree

And bring her back, singing tree

Smokey Mountain Boy

 
(Words & music by Rosenblatt - Milrose)
 
I'm just a Smokey mountain boy
Come back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine all bend in the wind
And the deep blue sky above
 
The closer and closer I get to home
The more excited I am
Those were the mornings I'd roll out of bed
Start the day off with a hot corn bread
Smothered in huckleberry jam
 
I'm just a Smokey mountain boy
Come back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine all bend in the wind
And the deep blue sky above
 
I can almost hear the hounds running through the woods
Close on the trail of the hare
How I long to be with them following the hounds
a-huntin' again
Gettin' me a big old grizzly bear
 
I'm just a Smokey mountain boy
Come back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine all bend in the wind
And the deep blue sky above
 
I traveled around and met lots of girls
No matter how many I see
I left some pretty ones behind
I know back home is where I'll find
The girl whose love is meant for me
 
I'm just a Smokey mountain boy
Come back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine all bend in the wind
And the deep blue sky above
 
 

Smorgasbord

 
(Words & music by Tepper - Bennett)
 
Some like their women short, some like them tall
I'll take them any size 'cause I love them all
 
I'm just wild about smorgasbord
I got a cravin' for smorgasbord
A little kiss here, a little kiss there
That's smorgasbord
 
Mmm
Some take just apple pie, some take just cake
I'll take the dish I please, please the dish I take
 
I'm just wild about smorgasbord
I got a cravin' for smorgasbord
A little kiss here, a little kiss there
That's smorgasbord
 
Mmm
Some like just southern belles, they got a one track mind
I go for all the belles except the wedding kind
 
I'm just wild about smorgasbord
I got a cravin' for smorgasbord
A little kiss here, a little kiss there
That's smorgasbord
 
Some like their women short, some like them tall
I'll take them any size 'cause I love them all, Mmm
Some take just apple pie, some take just cake
I'll take the dish I please, please the dish I take
 
 

Snowbird

 
(words & music by Gene MacLellan)
 
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting
for its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings a song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers
that will bloom again in spring
 
When I was young my heart was young then too
Anything that it would tell me,
that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life
Is the thing I can't win
 
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know
that I would fly away with you
 
The breeze along the river seems to say
That she'll only break my heart again
should I decide to stay
So little snowbird take me with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes
where the peaceful waters flow
 
 

So Close, Yet So Far (from Paradise)

 
(Words & music by Joy Byers)
 
So close, yet so far from paradise
I hold, you in my arms, in paradise
Is mine, then you slip away
Like a child at play, and here am I
So close, yet so far from paradise
 
When you, are close to me, it's paradise
We kiss, oh my love, paradise
Is mine, then suddenly you're gone from me
Like a floating star, I see, and here am I
So close, yet so far from paradise
 
I reach out for you, but each time I do
I always find you gone
I know love is new, I'll take care of you
In my arms is where you belong
 
Just, a step away, are we from paradise
Take my hand, come away, to paradise
My love, I want you close to me
I need you desperately, oh here am I
Waiting for you
Here am I
Praying for you
Here am I, so close, yet so far from paradise

So Glad You're Mine

 
(words & music by Arthur Crudup)
 
My baby's long and tall,
She's like a cannonball.
Say, everytime she loves me,
Lordly, you can hear me squall.
She cried, Ooo-wee.
I believe I'll change my mind.
She said, "I'm so glad I'm living".
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine".
 
My baby knows just how
To treat me right.
Gives me plenty loving
Morning, noon, and night.
She cried, Ooo-wee.
I believe I'll change my mind.
She said, "I'm so glad I'm living".
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine".
 
When my baby does what she does to me,
I climb the highest mountain,
Dive in the deepest sea.
She cried, Ooo-wee.
I believe I'll change my mind.
She said, "I'm so glad I'm living".
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine".
 
My baby's lips are red
And sweet like wine,
And when she kisses me,
I get high every time.
She cried, Oo-wee.
I believe I'll change my mind.
She said, "I'm so glad I'm living".
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine".

So low (so low you can't get under him)
Great God Almighty (you must come in at the door)
 
Oh well, He's high (so high you can't get over Him)
He's wide (so wide you can't get around Him)
So low (so low you can't get under him)
The mighty lamb (you must come in at the door)
 
Well I went down in the valley
You know I did over there ever stay
My soul got happy in the valley
You know I stayed right there all day
 
Well, He's high (so high you can't get over Him)
And he's wide (so wide you can't get around Him)
I know he's so low (so low you can't get under him)

Soldier Boy

 
(Words & music by David Jones - Theodore Williams)
 
Soldier boy why feel blue
Don't you believe that she will be true
It's written in the book
That she was meant for only you
 
Soldier boy tell me why do you cry
When you return she'll rush to your side

That she was meant for only you
 
So prove your love is true
She'll be there to say "I do"
And if you go o'er sea or land
She'll make you understand
 
While you're gone oh try to believe
Her love for you is really for real
It's written in the book
That she was meant for only you
 
So prove your love is true
She'll be there to say "I do"
And if you go o'er sea or land
She'll make you understand
 
While you're gone oh try to believe

That she was meant for only you
 
 

Solitaire

 
(Words & music by Neil Sedaka - Justin Cody)
 
There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love, thru his indifference
A heart that cared that went unshared
Until it died within his silence
 
And solitaire is the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
 
And keeping to himself, begins to deal
And still the king of hearts is well concealed
Another losing games comes to an end
And deals them out again
 
A little hope goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
There was a man, a lonely man
Who would command the hand he's playing
 
And solitaire is the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
 
And keeping to himself, begins to deal
And still the king of hearts is well concealed
Another losing games comes to an end
And deals them out again
 
And solitaire is the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
 
 

Somebody Bigger Than You and I

 
(Words & music by Lange - Heath - Burke)
 
Who made the mountains, who made the trees
Who made the rivers flow to the sea
And who sends the rain when the earth is dry
Somebody bigger than you and I
 
Who made the flowers to bloom in the spring
Who made the song for the robins to sing
And who hung the moon and the stars in the sky
Somebody bigger than you and I
 
He lights the way when the road is long
He keeps you company
And with His love to guide you
He walks beside you
Just like He walks with me
 
When we're filled with despair
Who gives me courage to go from there
And who gives me faith that will never die
Somebody bigger than you and I
 
 

Something

 
(words & music by George Harrison)
 
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she moves me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
 
Somewhere in her smile she knows
All I gotta do is think of her
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
 
You're asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know
 
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she moves me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know
 
Something in the way she moves
All I gotta do is think of her
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
 
 

Something Blue

 
(words & music by Evans - Byron)
 
Something old, the time goes buy
Something new, these tears I cry
Something borrowed were those lips my lips knew
And that's why I'm something blue
 
Something old, the vows we made
Something new, the price I paid
Something borrowed, love was tried but not true
Now my life is something blue
 
I guess that I had better smile
Walking behind you down the aisle
I feel I'm walking to my doom
I'm really not the best man in this room
 
Something old, the dreams we planned
Something new, his wedding band
Something borrowed was the heart I gave you
You returned it torn in two
 
Something old, the dreams we planned
Something new, his wedding band
Something borrowed was the heart I gave you
You returned it torn in two
 
And that's why,
And that's why I'm something blue
 
 

Song of the Shrimp

 
(Words & music by Bennett - Tepper)
 
I saw three shrimp in the water, two were old and gray
I swam a little bit closer and .. I heard the third one say
 
Goodbye mama shrimp, papa shake my hand
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
 
He showed his mama and papa, the shrimp newspaper he
read
An invitation to all the shrimp and this is what it said
Free ride, New Orleans, stay in grand hotel
Big Creole gal who help you come out of your shell
Big Creole gal who help you come out of your shell
 
If I should live to be ninety, I will never forget
The little shrimp and the song he sang as he jumped into the
net
 
Goodbye mama shrimp, papa shake my hand
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
 
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
 
 

Sound Advice

 
(Words & music by Baum - Giant)
 
Some folks tell you what to do
They think they know more than you
They insist that they're givin' sound advice
But as sure as you're livin'
It ain't sound, it ain't nice
It just doesn't sound like sound advice
 
Some folks like to be the boss
They get up on their high horse
Oh they say that you're gettin, sound advice
There one thing I'm bettin'
It ain't wise, it ain't nice
You won't like the sound of their advice
 
Sound advice we're given
Just as sure as your as you're livin'
If your smart you'll think twice
When they start to sound off with advice
 
Sound advice we're given
Just as sure as your as you're livin'
If your smart you'll think twice
When they start to sound off with advice
Don't listen to their sound advice
 
 

Spanish Eyes

 
(Words & music by B. Kaemfert - C. Singleton - E.
Snyder)
 
Blue Spanish eyes teardrops are falling from your Spanish
eyes
Please please don't cry, this is just adios and not good-bye
Soon I'll return, bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say "Si Si" say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for
me
 
Soon I'll return, bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say "Si Si" say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for
me
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
 
 

Speedway

 
(Words & music by Glazer - Schlaks)
 
Take a ton of bolt and steel
A whole lotta sweat, a set of wheels
On the Speedway
The flag is down, pistons pound
Plenty of engines ripping around .. on the Speedway
 
Go for the money and lead the pack
Push the throttle and burn the track
Curl and swirl like you doin' a dance
Speedway's comin' and now's your chance
On the Speedway, on the Speedway, on the Speedway
 
Stoke that pedal down to the floor
As much as you give, crowd wants more
More, more, more, more, more on the Speedway
On the Speedway
 
Take a spin, hit the brakes
A young little girl .. shivers and shakes
On the Speedway
Clear the way, comin' through
Kiss from your baby just pushin' you
On the Speedway
 
Go for the money and lead the pack
Push the throttle and burn the track
Curl and swirl like you doin' a dance
Speedway's comin' and now's your chance
On the Speedway, on the Speedway, on the Speedway
 
Stoke that pedal down to the floor
As much as you give, crowd wants more
More, more, more, more, more on the Speedway
On the Speedway
On the Speedway, on the Speedway, on the Speedway
On the Speedway, on the Speedway, on the Speedway
On the Speedway, on the Speedway
 
 

Spinout

 
(Words & music by Wayne - Weisman - Fuller)
 
When her motor's warm, and she's purrin' sweet
Buddy let me warn ya', you're on a one-way street
She'll crowd ya' close, spin your wheels
Then you're gonna know how it feels
To spinout..spinout
 
Better watch those curves, never let her steer
If she can shake your nerves..boy
She can strip your gears
She'll get your heart, goin' fast
Then she'll let you run out of gas
So spinout...spinout
 
The road to love is full of, danger signs
Too many guys were lost
Who crossed those double lines
 
Don'tcha know she's out to prove, she can really score
Never saw parts move, boy
Like that before
To flag you down, that's her goal
Scoot before you lose control
And spinout...spinout!!
 
 

Spring Fever

 
(Words & music by Giant - Baum - Kaye)
 
A little bird, he told me so
He said come on, get on the go
Open your eyes the sky is full of butterflies
The blossoms on the trees stir up the honey bees
Spring makes my fever right
 
Spring fever, Spring is here at last
Spring fever, my heart's beating fast
Get up, get out spring is everywhere
 
Well if you feel the wanderlust
Just grab a car or hop a bus
In every town there's excitement to be found
So much is happening
Don't miss the joy of spring
The world's in love just look around
 
Spring fever comes to everyone
Spring fever, it's time for fun
Get up, get out spring is everywhere
 
Spring fever, it's Spring fever time
Spring fever, watch that fever climb
Get up, get out spring is everywhere
 
Spring is everywhere
 
 

Stand by Me

 
(Traditional - arranged by Elvis Presley)
 
When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me
When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me
When the world is tossing me
Like a ship out on the sea
Thou who rulest when wanted
Stand by me
 
When I'm growing old and feeble
Stand by me
When I'm growing old and feeble
Stand by me
When I do the best I can
And my friends misunderstand
Thou who never lost a battle
Stand by me
Thou who never lost a battle
Stand by me
 
 

Starting Today

 
(words & music by Robertson)
 
Starting today
I'm teaching my heart
Not to ache anymore
Just 'cause we're apart
 
No more will I dream
Of your sweet loving ways
Gonna learn to forget you
Starting today
 
And when memories haunt me
And the tears starts to flow
I'll just think of the sorrow
You caused me to know
 
No more for the past
To return will I pray
Gonna live for tomorrow
Starting today
Starting today

Michigan State, Comity
Harvard University
Vassa, Wilbur Smith and Brown
Shakin' up this here town tonight
Startin' tonight
Have a ball do it all startin' tonight
 
Grab your partner by the hand,
Spread a blanket on the sand
Three a.m. go for a swim
Clothes and all jump right in
Tonight, startin' tonight
Let out the stops, call the cops, it's all right
 
'Course when the cops have come and gone
You'll just keep carrying on
Don't you worry if you land in jail
We'll forward your mail if you can't make bail
Tonight, startin' tonight
Have a ball do it all startin' tonight
Anything goes, everything goes, startin' tonight
Startin' tonight.
 
 

Stay Away

 
(Words & music by Tepper - Bennett)
 
Ten thousand miles even though I roam
I can hear the call of the hills of home
The canyons high and the valleys low
Echo "How can you stay away"
 
My dreams are there where the eagle flies
Where the mountain tops seem to touch the sky
The winding streams and the winds that blow
Ask me "How can you stay away"
 
Far too long have I stayed apart
From this land that I love and divide my heart
Now, now I know I must go
Where the hills say "Don't stay away"
Where the hills say "Don't stay away"
 
 

Stay Away Joe

Stay Away Joe they call me
Stay Away Joe oh yeah!
But if you need me call me

Steppin' Out of line

 
(words & music by Wise - Weisman - Fuller)
 
Listen, little lady,
You're steppin' out of line
What's your hurry baby,
You got a lot of time
That's not love you feel,
It's only make believe
Watch out, you'll break the heart
You're wearing on you sleeve
 
Cheating with your kisses
You think you know it all
Old worry gonna get you,
You're riding for a fall
Better slow it down,
I see a danger sign,
'Cause the way you're steppin' around
You're steppin' out of line
You're steppin' out of line
 
 

Stop, Look and Listen

 
(Words & music by Joy Byers)
 
When I was a little bitty boy
Sittin' on my papa's knee
I still remember every word my papa said to me
Now boy if you ever meet
A pretty woman walking down the street
 
You'd better
Stop real still, look both ways
Listen or you'll get in trouble
 
When you see her go struttin' by
Giving you that evil eye
And she's got a kind of dreamy look
Just enough to get you shook
Now boy don't you lose your head
You pay attention what your papa said
 
You'd better
Stop real still, look both ways
Listen or you'll get in trouble
 
All right !
 
She'll drive you crazy with the way she walks
She'll drive you crazy with the way she talks
And you'll think you're gonna lose your mind
'Cause that pretty woman looks so fine
And the very first thing you'll know
You'll be tellin' her you love her so
 
You'd better stop real still
 
 

Stop Where You Are

 
(Words & music by Grant - Baum - Kaye)
 
Stop where you are
Don't move an inch
Don't come any closer now baby
You'll be in a pinch
Don't start what you can't finish
I warn you what's in store
If it's love you're looking to get
You're gonna get what you're looking for
 
Stop where you are
You'd better freeze
Don't pull the fire now baby
Don't be a tease
Don't start what you can't finish
I told you once before
If it's love you're looking to get
You're gonna get what you're looking for
 
Don't you know, you're walking on dangerous ground
Listen babe when I make love
I just don't fool around, no I don't
I just don't play around
 
Stop where you are
Just take it slow
Once I put my hands on you baby
I won't let you go
Don't start what you can't finish
One kiss and I want more
If it's love you're looking to get
You're gonna get what you're looking for
 
Stop where you are
Don't move an inch
Stop where you are
You're gonna be in a pinch
Stop where you are
You're gonna get what you're looking for
 
 

Stranger in My Own Home Town

 
(Words & music by Percy Mayfield)
 
I'm like a stranger
Like a stranger in my own home town
I'm like a stranger
Like a stranger in my own home town
 
My so called friends stopped being friendly
Oh but you can't keep a good man down
Oh no, can't get him down
 
I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago
I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago
 
But my home town won't accept me
Just don't feel welcome here no more
 
My home town won't accept me
Just don't feel welcome here no more
 
I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago, yes I did
I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago
But my home town won't accept me
Just don't feel welcome here no more
I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town
Yeah, I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home
town
My so called friends stopped being friendly
Oh but you can't keep a good man down
 
I came home with good intentions
About 5 or 6 years ago, yes I did

Oh but you can't keep a good man down
 
I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town
I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own home town
My so called friends stopped being friendly
Oh but you can't keep a good man down
 
 

Stranger in the Crowd

 
(words & music by Winfield Scott)
 
I've been standing on a corner
Since a quarter after seven
I was down to my last cigarette
And the clock in the window
At a quarter to eleven
 
I was watching all the people
Passing by me going places
Just the loneliest guy in the town
Looking for a friendly smile
But all I see were faces
 
And then, just like the taste of milk and honey
I found the stranger I've been looking for
Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be stranger no more
 
The love that comes on the corner
At a quarter to elven
I thought you were to good to be true
All my life I had believed
That angels only live in heaven
But now, we share the taste of milk and honey
Each day is sweeter than the day before
 
My cup runned overflowing
because the stranger in the crowd
And I would be stranger no more
 
Deep inside, my cup of love was overflowing
I found the stranger I've been looking for
Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be stranger no more
 
 

Stuck on You

 
(words & music by Aaron Schroeder - J. Leslie
McFarland)
 
You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake-a, shake- sugar,
But you'll never shake me
Uh-uh-uh
No-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue,
Stick because I'm
Stuck on you
 
Gonna run my fingers thru your long black hair
Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear
Uh-uh-uh,
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I'm
Stuck on you
 
Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
'Cause once I catch ya and the kissin' starts
A team o' wild horses couldn't tear us apart
 
Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side
That's how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh-uh-uh
Yes-sir-ee, uh,uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I'm
Stuck on you
 
 

Such a Night

 
(Words & music by Lincoln Chase)
 
It was a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
The moon was bright oh how so bright
It was it really was such a night
The night was alight with stars above
Oo-oo when she kissed me
I had to fall in love
 
Oh it was a kiss oo-oo what a kiss
It was it really was such a kiss
Oh how she could kiss oh what a kiss
It was it really was such a kiss
Just the thought of her lips
Sets me afire
I reminisce and I'm filled with desire
But I'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I'll always remember
 
Oh, what a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss
The kiss in the moonlight
Oo-oo such a kiss, such a night
 
It was a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss
The kiss in the moonlight
How well I remember, I'll always remember
 
That night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
When we kissed I had to fall in love
But I'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I'll always remember
 
Oh that night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
When we kissed I had to fall in love
Well she's gone, gone, gone
Yes she's gone, gone, gone
Came the dawn, dawn, dawn
And my love was gone
But before that dawn
Yes before that dawn and before that dawn
Oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo
Such a night
 
 

Summer Kisses, Winter Tears

 
(Words & music by Wise - Weisman - Lloyd)
 
Summer kisses, Winter tears
That was what she gave to me
Never thought that I'd travel all alone
The trail of memories
 
Happy hours, lonely years
But I guess I can't complain
For I still recall the Summer sun
Through all the Winter rain
 
The fire of love, the fire of love
Can burn from afar
And nothing can light the dark of the night
Like a falling star
Summer kisses, Winter tears
Like the stars they fade away
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights
With dreams of yesterday
 
The fire of love, the fire of love
Can burn from afar
And nothing can light the dark of the night
Like a falling star
Summer kisses, Winter tears
Like the stars they fade away
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights
With dreams of yesterday
 
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights
With dreams of yesterday
Summer kisses, Winter tears
 
 

Suppose

 
(Words & music by Dee - Goehring)
 
Suppose no rose would ever grow again
Suppose no brook would ever flow again
Suppose no star should ever glow again
Suppose you didn't love me
 
Suppose there were no bees or butterflies
Suppose no bird should ever cross the skies
Suppose the sun should never never rise
Suppose you didn't love me
 
It's impossible to imagine a world without a star
But imagining no you is more impossible, by far
Suppose the Springtime never should arrive
Suppose the tall green trees should not survive
Suppose I had no wish to be alive
Suppose you didn't love me
 
It's impossible to imagine a world without a star
But imagining no you is more impossible, by far
Suppose the Springtime never should arrive
Suppose the tall green trees should not survive
Suppose I had no wish to be alive
Suppose you didn't love me
Suppose you didn't love me
 
 

Surrender

 
(words & music by Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman - E. De
Curtus)
 
When we kiss my heart's on fire
Burning with a strange desire
And I know, each time I kiss you
That your heart's on fire too
 
So, my darling, please surrender
All your love so warm and tender
Let me hold you in my arms, dear
While the moon shines bright above
 
All the stars will tell the story
Of our love and all its glory
Let us take this night of magic
And make it a night of love
 
Won't you please surrender to me
Your lips, your arms, your heart, dear
Be mine forever
Be mine tonight
 
 

Susan When She Tried

 
(words & music by Don Reid)
 
I got over Charlotte Thompson, Goldie Johnson,
Lord they done me wrong
I took it hard with Peggy Harper
She hurt me bad, but not for long
There's just one I remember
Makes me feel funny down inside
I'd trade 'em all for just one hour
Of Susan when she tried
 
No there's never been a woman
Who could make me weak inside
And give me what I needed
Like Susan when she tried
 
It gets worse in the summer
When the nights are hot and long
And it's bad in December
When they play those Christmas songs
So if you ask me and I don't tell you
Bet your sweet bottom dollar I lied
'Cause there's never been one better
Than Susan when she tried
 
 

Suspicion

 
(words & music by Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman)
 
Ev'rytime you kiss me
I'm still not certain that you love me
Ev'ry time you hold me
I'm still not certain that you care
Though you keep on saying
you really, really, really love me
do you speak the same words
To someone else when I'm not there
 
Suspicion torments my heart
Suspicion keeps us apart
Suspicion why torture me
 
Ev'rytime you call me
and tell me we should meet tomorrow
I can't help but think that
you're meeting someone else tonight
Why should our romance just
keep on causing me such sorrow?
Why am I so doubtful
whenever you're out of sight?
 
Darling, if you love me,
I beg you wait a little longer
Wait until I drive all
these foolish fears out of my mind
How I hope and pray that
our love will keep on growing stronger
Maybe I'm suspicious
'cause true love is so hard to find
 
 

Suspicious Minds

 
(words & music by Mark James)
 
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
 
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
 
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
 
So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
 
Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying
 
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And be can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
 
Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
 
When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah
 
 

Sweet Angeline

 
(Words & music by Arnold - Martin - Morrow)
 
Sweet Angeline I loved you much more than poets say in
rhyme
Just for one short time
 
Sweet Angeline remember though we've not seen the summer
through
I lived only for you
I'm only human and I realize it's no use trying to disguise
My love for you Angeline has ended
So let's be thankful now not sad
For the little love we've had
 
Sweet Angeline remember though we've not seen the summer
through
I lived only for you
I'm only human and I realize it's no use trying to disguise
My love for you Angeline has ended
So let's be thankful now not sad
For the little love we've had
 
 

Sweet Caroline

 
(words & music by Neil Diamond)
 
Where it began, I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growing strong
Oh, wasn't the spring, whooo
And spring became the summer
Who'd believe you'd come along
 
Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
I made him climb to believe it never would
 
And now I, I look at the night, whooo
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding you
 
Oh, one, touching one, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh I made him climb to believe it never would
 
Ohhh, sweet Caroline, good times never seem so good
 
 

Swing Down Sweet Chariot

 
(Arranged and adapted by Elvis Presley)
 
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side
 
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side
 
Well, well, well, well, well, well
 
Ezekial went down in the middle of a field
He saw an angel workin' on a chariot wheel
Wasn't so particular 'bout the chariot wheel
Just wanted to see how a chariot feel
 
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side
 
Well, well, well Ezekial went down and he got on board
Chariot went a bumpin' on down the road
Zeke wasn't so particular 'bout the bumpin' of the road
Just wanted to lay down his heavy load
 
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side
 
Well I got a father in the promised land
Ain't no more stoppin' till I shake his hand
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
I've got a home on the other side
 
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side
 
 

Sylvia

 
(Words & music by G. Stephens - L. Reed)
 
These long lonely evenings
Here I am on the phone
Wondering if she will call
She said she would write me
'Cause she knows I'm alone
But I hear nothing at all
 
I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia.
You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia,
But when I'm with her Lord, I forgive her
'Cause she's more than the whole world to me
There's nothing like a word of love from Sylvia
The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now
If I just had my Sylvia with me
 
That old weepin' willow
Seems to whisper her name
Why did she go away
The tears on my pillow
They're not hard to explain
There's nothing else I can say
 
I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia.
You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia,
But when I'm with her Lord, I forgive her
'Cause she's more than the whole world to me
There's nothing in the world like Sylvia
The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now
If I just had my Sylvia with me
