The Neverending Connect the Lyrics Game

I've been throwing horseshoes,
Over my left shoulder.
I've spent most all my life,
Searchin' for that four-leafed clover.
When you ran with me,
Chasing my rainbows,
An' honey, I love you, too,
And that's the way love goes.
That's the way love goes, babe;
That's the music God made,
For all the world to sing.
It's never old; it grows.
Losing makes me sorry;
Well, now honey, don't worry.
Don't you know, I love you too.
That's the way love goes.

Instrumental break.

That's the way love goes, babe;
That's the music God made,
For all the world to sing.
It's never old; it grows.
Losing makes me sorry;
You say: "Honey, now don't worry.
"I love you too."
That's the way love goes.

That's the Way Love Goes
written by Lefty Frizzell
Recorded by: L.F, Johnny Rodriguez, and Merle Haggard

That's the way love is

I know you're walking down the lonely road
and your heart's carrying a heavy load
You wish that that you were never born
oh but you gotta forget her
now that she's gone
and just remember

That's the way love is
that's the way love is

Love is here today
Gone tomorrow
All of your joy
Turned to sorrow...

- Mowtown staple in the late 60's. Done by Isleys and Marvin Gaye.

Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow.
But if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow.
Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend.
I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody
to lean on.
Please swallow your pride, if have things you need to borrow.
For no one can fill those needs that you won't let show.
You just call on me brother when you need a hand.
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand.
We all need somebody to lean on.
Lean on me when you't not strong, and I'll be your friend.
I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna' need
somebody to lean on.
You just call on me brother if you need a friend.
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand.
We all need somebody to lean on.
If there is a load you have to bear that you can't carry.
I'm right up the road, I'll share your load if you just call me.
Call me ( if you need a friend)
Call me
(Repeat Until Fade)


Bill Withers

Hey girls, gather round
Listen to what I'm putting down
Hey babe, I'm your handy man

I'm not the kind to use a pencil or rule
I'm handy with love and I'm no fool
I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can

If your broken heart should need repair
Then I'm the man to see
I whisper sweet things, you tell all your friends
They'll come runnin' to me

Here is the main thing I want to say
I'm busy 24 hours a day
I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can

Come, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
They'll come runnin' to me

That's me
I'm your handy man

-- Handyman, James Taylor

Every now and then I cry
Every night you keep stayin' on my mind
All my friends say I'll survive
It just takes time

CHORUS
But I don't think time is gonna heal this broken heart
No I don't see how it can if it's broken all apart
A million miracles could never stop the pain
Or put all the pieces together again
No I don't think time is gonna heal this broken heart
No I don't see how it can while we are still apart
And when you hear this song
I hope that you will see
That time won't heal a broken-hearted me

Every day is just the same
Playin' games, different lovers, different names
They keep sayin' I'll survive
It just takes time

CHORUS

Time won't heal a broken-hearted me

-Anne Murray

Andy's chest

If i could be anything in the world that flew
I would be a bat and come swooping after you
And if the last time you were here, things were abit askew
Well, you know what happens after dark
When rattlesnakes lose their skins and their hearts
And all the missionaries loose their bark
All the trees are calling after you


If I could be anything of the things in this world that bite
Instead of being a tethered ocelot on a leash
I'd rather be your kite
And be tied to the end of your string
And flying in the air, babe, at night
Because you know what they say about honey bears
When you shave off all their baby hair
You've got a hairy minded big bare bear
And all the bells are rolling out for you
And stones are all erupting out for you
And all the cheap bloodsuckers are flying after you

Yesterday, Daisy, Mae and Biff were grooving down the street
And just like in a movie, her hands became her feet
Her belly button was her mouth
Which meant she tasted what she'd speak
But the funny thing is what happened to her nose
It grew until it reached all of her toes
Now, when people say her feet smell, they mean her nose
And curtains laced with diamonds, dear, for you
And Kingdom's Christian sailors [soldiers], dear, for you
And melting ice-cap mountains, dear, for you
And knights in flaming silver robes for you
And bats, that with a kiss turn prince for you
Swoop, swoop, oh baby, rock, rock...

Andy's chest by Lou Reed.

Everytime you leave
You tear the soul from me
I die a little more each time part
I can't control my dreams
My heart can't seem to learn
To turn and lock its door when you return

I know that you'll come back again
As soon as you get blue
And I know what will happen then
One kiss and I'll give one to you

Everytime You leave
You tear the soul from me
But I want to live so I'll forgive
Everytime you leave

Everytime You Leave
Emmylou Harris-Blue Kentucky Girl Album

The clock struck midnight
And through my sleeping
I heard a tapping at my door
I looked but nothing lay in the darkness
And so I turned inside once more

To my amazement
There stood a raven
Whose shadow hung above my door
Then through the silence
It spoke the one word
That I shall hear for evermore

Nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore

And still the raven remains in my room
No matter how much I implore
No words can soothe him
No prayer remove him
And I must hear for evermore

Quoth the raven, nevermore
Nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore


--The Raven, Alan Parsons Project

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out it's warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

The Sound of Silence-Simon and Garfunkel

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me


But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

-- Raindrops keep fallin' on my head, B.J. Thomas

White Queen [as it began]
So sad her eyes
Smiling dark eyes
So sad her eyes
As it began

On such a restless night as this
Upon my brow the lightest kiss
I walked alone

And all around the air did say
My lady soon will stir this way
And sorrow know

The white queen walks and the night grows pale
Stars of lovliness build the fire

Dear dear
Unheard
Dear dear
Unobserved

So sad her eyes
She cannot see

How did thee fare?
What have thee seen?
The mother of the willow green
I call her name
And neath her window have I stayed
I loved the footsteps that she made
And when she came

White Queen how my heart did ache
So dry my lips
No word will break.
And still I wait...

My Goddess here
My darkest fear
I speak too late
Watch forevermore fade away

But dear friend
Goodbye
No tears in my eye
So sad it ends
As it began

Queen 1974.

Sad Eyes-Robert John
Looks like it's over, you knew I couldn't stay
She's comin' home today
We had a good thing, I'll miss your sweet love
Why must you look at me that way
It's over

Sad eyes, turn the other way
I don't wanna see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day
When we would have to say 'goodbye'

Try to remember the magic that we shared
In time your broken heart will mend
I never used you, you knew I really cared
I hate to see it have to end
But it's over

Sad eyes, turn the other way
I don't wanna see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day
When we would have to say 'goodbye'

[Instrumental Interlude]

Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day
When we would have to say 'goodbye'
Sad eyes, turn the other way (turn the other way)
I don't wanna see you cry (cry, cry, cry)
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day (he-e-e-ey)
When we would have to say 'goodbye'
Sad eyes

these eyes, cry every night for you
these arms, long to hold you, again
the hurtin's on me yea
but I will never be free, oh my baby no no

you gave a promise to me, yea
and you broke it, you broke it, oh oh

these eyes, watched you bring my world to an end
this heart, could not accept and pretend

the hurtin's on me yea
but I will never be free, no no no
you took the vow with me yea
you spoke it, you spoke it
babe

these eyes, are cryin'
these eyes have seen a lot of love,
but they're never gonna see another one like I had with you

-- These Eyes, The Guess Who

My Eyes Adored You-Frankie Valli
My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see
How I adored you:
So close, so close and yet so far away

Carried your books from school,
Playing make-believe you're married to me:
You were fifth grade, I was sixth
When we came to be
Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay,
Till we grew into the me and you
Who went our separate ways

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see
How I adored you:
So close, so close and yet so far

Headed for city lights,
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame,
I worked my fingers to the bone,
Made myself a name.
Funny, I seem to find that, no matter how the years unwind,
Still I reminisce about the girI miss
And the love I left behind...

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see
How I adored you:
So close, so close and yet so far

All my life I will remember how warm and tender
We were way back then
Though I'm feeling sad regrets I know I won't ever forget
You, my childhood friend

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see
How I adored you:
So close, so close and yet so far

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on!

[chorus]
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps.
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on!

[chorus]

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on."

[chorus]

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on!

[chorus]

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me;
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

-- Battle Hymn of the Republic, Julia Ward Howe

Battle Hymn Of Love
Iwill pledge my heart to the love we share
Through the good and the bad times too
I'll forsake my rest for your happiness
'Til my death I will stand by you

With God as my witness this vow I will make
To have and to hold you no other to take
For richer, for poorer, under skies gray or blue
'Til my death I will stand by you

There are wars and there are rumors of wars yet to come
Temptations we'll have to walk through
Though others may tremble, I will not run
'Til my death I will stand by you

I will put on the armor of faithfulness
And fight for a heart that is true
'Til the battle is won, I will not rest
'Til my death I will stand by you

With God as my witness this vow I will make
To have and to hold you, no other to take
For richer for poorer, under skies gray or blue
'Til my death I will stand by you

[TAG]
'Til the battle is won, I will not run
'Til my death I will stand by you

These things take time

Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the sacred, wonder kind
You took me behind
A disused railway line

You said "I know a place where we can go
"Where we are not known".
And you gave me something that I won't forget too soon.
But I can't believe you've ever cared
And this is why you will never care...

Coz these things take time
And I know that I'm
the most inept that ever stepped

I'm spellbound
But a woman divides
and the hills are alive with celibate cries

But you know where you came from
You know where you're going
And you know where you belong
You said I was ill and you were not wrong

But I can't believe you've ever cared
And this is why you will never care...

These things take time
And I know that I'm
The most inept that ever stepped.
The Smiths 1984

Hot sun beating down
Burning my feet just walking around.

Hot sun making me sweat
'gators getting close, hasn't got me yet

I can't dance, I can't talk.
Only thing about me is the way I walk.
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling everything.

Blue jeans sitting on the beach,
Her dog's talking to me, but she's out of reach.

She's got a body under that shirt,
But all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt.

Cos, I can't dance, I can't talk.
Only thing about me is the way I walk.
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling.

Oh and checking everything is in place,
You never know who's looking on.

Young punk spilling beer on my shoes,
Fat guy's talking to me trying to steal my blues.

Thick smoke, see her smiling through.
I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool.

But I can't dance, I can't talk.
The only thing about me is the way that I walk.
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling

Oh and checking everything is in place
You never know who's looking on
A perfect body with a perfect face - uh-huh.

No, I can't dance, I can't talk.
The only thing about me is the way I walk.
No, I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling everything.

But I can walk.
No I can't dance.
No no no I can't dance
No I said I can't sing.
But I can walk.

Long Talll Glasses-Leo Sayer
I was travellin' down the road, feelin' hungry and cold
I saw a sign sayin' food and drinks for everyone
So naturally I thought I would take me a look inside
I saw so much food, there was water comin' from my eye

Yeah there was ham an' there was turkey, there was caviar
An' long tall glasses, with wine up to yar

An' then somebody grabbed me, threw me outta my chair
Said before you can eat, you gotta dance like fred astaire

You know I can't dance, you know I can't dance
You know I can't dance, you know I can't dance
I can't dance

I am a man of the road -- a hobo by name
I don't seek entertainment, just poultry and game
But if it's all the same to you, then yes I will try my hand
If you were as hungry as me then I'm sure you would understand

Hmmm
Now wait a minute
Let me see now

Of course I can dance of course I can dance
I'm sure I can dance, I'm sure I can dance..
I can dance

I can dance
I really hit the floor
Ah feels good
Look at me dancin'

I did a two-step, quick-step and a bossa nova
A little victor silvester, and a rudy valentino
You should a seen me movin', right across the floor
Hand me down my tuxedo, next week I'm comin' back for more

I can dance -- oh yes! I can dance
Look at me dancin' the floor movin'
I feel good -- I can dance
I can dance, I can dance, I can dance.

You broke my heart, cauze I couldn't dance
You didn't want me around
Well now I'm back to let you know
I can really shake 'em down

(two, three, four)

Yeh, do you love me (I can really move)
Well do you love me (I'm in the groove)
Well do love me (do you love me)
Now that I can dance, dance, dance

Watch me now (push push)
Ah shake it up baby (push push)
Why, you're driving me crazy (push push)
Oh c'mon a little closer

Well I can mash potato (I can mash potato)
Well I can do the twist (and I can do the twist)
Woh tell me baby (tell me baby)
Do you like it like this (do you like it like this)

Tell me, tell me, tell me

Do you love me (do you love me)
Do you love me (do you love me)
Do you love me (do you love me)
Now that I can dance, dance, dance

Watch me now (push push)
Ah shake it up baby (push push)
Why, you're driving me crazy (push push)
Oh c'mon a little closer

Well I can mash potato (I can mash potato)
Well I can do the twist (and I can do the twist)
Woh tell me baby (tell me baby)
Do you like it like this (do you like it like this)

Tell me, tell me, tell me

Do you love me (oh do you love me)
Do you love me (do you love me)
Do you love me (do you love me)
Now that I can dance, dance, dance
