The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
THE DAYS of wine and roses
laugh and run away
like a child at play
Through a meadow land
toward a closing door
A door marked "nevermore"
that wasn't there before.
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
ONE THING it's true
cold ethel i am stuck on you
she's cool
in bed
well, she ought to be cause
ethels dead
STUCK ON YOU
I've got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose
Guess I'm on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end
Guess I'm on my way
Mighty glad you stayed
The mama pajama rolled out of bed, and she ran to the police station
When the papa found out, he began to shout, and he started the investigation
It's against the law, it was against the law
What the mama saw, it was against the law.
The mama looked down and spit on the ground ev'ry time my name gets mentioned
The papa say "Oy, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention."
I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin',
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time, but I don't know where.
Goodbye to Rosie, the Queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
In a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest come to get me released
We's all on the cover of Newsweek
Well, I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time, but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the Queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
I DON'T know how to love him
what to do how to move him
I've been changed
yes, really changed
In these past few days when i see myself
I seem like someone else
I love him, I LOVE HIM, I love him
And where he goes
I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow
I will follow him
Follow him wherever he may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high he can keep
Keep me away
What to do now that she doesn't want me?
That's what haunts me
What to do?
What to do to keep from feeling lonely?
Want her only.
What to do?
The record hops and all the happy times we had.
The soda shop, the walks to school now make me sad.
Oh, what to do? I know my heart is showing,
still not knowing
what to do.
(repeat)
What to do?
What to do? (to do, what to do, what to do) x8
I carried your book TO SCHOOL
playing make me believe you're married to me
I was fifth grade
she was sixth...
Is this the little girl I CARRIED? Is this the little boy at play?
I dont remember growing older. When did they?
When did she getto be a beauty? When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?
sunrise, sunset. sunrise, sunset. swiftly flow the days. seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers blossoming even as we gaze
sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset. swiftly fly the years. one season following another laden with happiness and tears.
YESTERDAY, WHEN all my troubles seemed so far away
now it looks as though their here to stay
oh i believe in Yesterday.
Suddenly....I'm not half the man i used to be there's a shadow hanging over me..
oh, yesterday
came suddenly
Why she had to go ..i don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong ..now i long for yesterday......
so far from you and all your charms
Just out Love that runs away from me
Dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on botherin' me
Chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two open arms
Each night in dreams I see your face
Memories time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you gone
I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
(That lonesome feelin' all the time)
(Knowing you cannot be mine)
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
Vows that we could never keep
Too far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
The First Time ever I saw YOUR FACE
I Thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless sky, my love,
All my love, all my kisses
You don't know what you've been missing, ô boy (ô boy)
When you're with me, ô boy (ô boy)
The world can see that you
Were made
For me.
YOU DON'T own me,
I'm not just one of your many toys.
You don't own me,
don't say I can't go with other boys.
And don't tell me what to do.
And don't tell me what to say.
And please, when I go out with you,
don't put me on display.
I'M NOT Lisa
My name is Julie
Lisa left you
years ago....
My eyes are not blue
but they still love you...
Oh MY NAME it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I's taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that land that I live in
Has God on its side.
Oh, Momma I'm in fear for my life
from the long arm of THE LAW
Hang man is coming down from the gallows and I don't have very long...
Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk
Someone said he stumbled and he fell
Six squad cars came screaming to the rescue
Hauled old Billy Dalton off to jail
'cause THE LAW is for protection of the people
Rules are rules and any fool can see
We don't need no drunks like Billy Dalton
Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree.
