CAROLYN
(Tommy Collins)

Carolyn let me tell you what I've heard about a man today
He didn't come home from work and he went away
Till he came to a city bright in the night time like day
There they say he met up with some women dressed in yellow and scarlet
Oh their warm lips like a honeycomb dripped with honey
And there's something about the smell of strange perfume
Made him feel warm and not alone
Yes Carolyn a man will do that sometimes on his own
Sometimes when he's lonely
And I believe a man might do that sometimes out of spite
But Carolyn a man will do that always
When he's treated bad at home
Yes Carolyn a man will do that...

SONG SUNG BLUE
(Neil Diamond)
« © '72 Prophet Music, ASCAP »
Song sung blue everybody knows one
Song sung blue every garden grows on
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song you sing 'em out again
You sing 'em out again
Song sung blue weeping like a willow
Song sung blue sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it starts the feeling good you simply got no choice
[ strings ]
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song you sing 'em out again
Song sung blue weeping like a willow
Song sung blue sleeping on my pillow
But when you take the blues and make a song you sing 'em out again
Song sung blue

WHEN YOU SAY LOVE
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '72 Elsmere Music, ASCAP »
When you say love you're telling everyone your moment's come
And you've found out what you've been looking for
When you say love you've said the only word that tells the world
You never will be lonely anymore
You've got a pretty rainbow of your own
And at last you've found your pot of gold
You're completely satisfied a feeling of contentment fills your soul
When you say love it means you've found your special one
And that you care enough to give your very best
When you say love there's not another word that says so much
But that four-letter word means happiness
Your heart has given wings to touch the sky
Much higher than the eagle dares to fly
If you took everything you've heard and tried to make a magic word
You'll find you've said it all when you say love
When you say love it means you've found your special one...
When you say love

DADDY DON'T YOU WALK SO FAST
(Peter Callander - Geoff Stephens)
« © '70 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
The love between the two of us was dying
And it got so bad I knew I had to leave
But halfway down that highway when I turned around I saw
My little daughter running after me
Cryin' daddy don't you walk so fast daddy don't you walk so fast
Daddy slow down some cause you're making me run
Daddy don't you walk so fast
It broke my heart to tell my little daughter
That her daddy had to run to catch a train
She had no way of knowing I was leaving home for good
I turned around and there was again
Cryin' daddy don't you walk so fast...
If only for the sake of my sweet daughter
I just had to turn back home right there and then
And try to start a new life with the mother of my child
I couldn't bear to hear those words again
Daddy don't you walk so fast...
Daddy slow down some cause you're making me run
Daddy don't you walk so fast

SHE'S GONE AGAIN
(E. Fenney)
« © '72 Unichappell Music, BMI »
She's gone again it's not fair
And what makes it even worse is I still care
She's gone again who knows why
She never said a word about goodbye
My friends used to say she's not the kind who'll settle down
Now they can say I told you so all over town
She promised me we'd fool my friends
But I'm the only we fooled she's gone again
My friends used to say...
But I'm the only we fooled she's gone again

ANGEL SLEEPS BESIDE ME EVERY NIGHT
(Gary S. Paxton)
« © '71 Songs Of The Knoll, BMI »
An angel sleeps beside me every night
Without her love my world would fade away
Yes an angel sleeps beside me every night
And because of her my sun shines every day
Sometimes when the outside world starts to get me down
And I'm sure that I can't make it till the dawn
Just knowing she's upon the bed beside the place I lay my head
Revives the faith I have in goin' on
Cause an angel sleeps beside me every night...
Cause an angel sleeps beside me every night...
Yes an angel sleeps beside me every night...
