SHARING THE NIGHT TOGETHER

(Ava Aldridge - Eddie Struzick) « © '78 Hope'n Cal Music, BMI »
You're looking kinda lonely girl
Would you like someone new to talk to oh yeah alright
I'm feeling kinda lonely too if you don't mind
Can I sit down here beside you oh yeah alright
If I seem to come on too strong I hope that you will understand
I say these things cause I'd like to know if you're as lonely as I am

And if you'd mind sharing the night together oh yeah
Sharing the night together oh yeah sharing the night
We could bring in the morning girl if you want to go that far
And if tomorrow finds us together right here the way we are
Wound you mind sharing the night together oh yeah
Sharing the night together oh yeah sharing the night

Would you like to dance with me and hold me
You know I wanna be holding you oh yeah alright
Cause I'll be feeling like I do and I see in your eyes
If you're liking it I'm liking it too oh yeah alright
Like to get to know you better is there a place where we can go
Where we can be alone together and turn the lights down low

And start sharing the night together oh yeah
Sharing the night together oh yeah sharing the night together
Sharing the night together sharing the night together

SWEETEST OF ALL

(Shel Silverstein) « © '78 Evil Eye Music, BMI »
Out of all the nights I remember of all the loves I recall
There are many who live in my mem'ry
But you were the sweetest of all

Wasn't it sweetest of all babe wasn't it sweetest of all
I wasn't your first love I wasn't your last
Wasn't it sweetest of all

Sometimes I still think about you sometimes I wish that you'd call
Sometimes I feel like you're lying here with me
And it's still the sweetest of all

So keep your goodbyes in your pocket you ain't going nowhere at all
Your mem'ry is staying here with me
Cause you were the sweetest of all

Wasn't it sweetest of all babe wasn't it sweetest of all
Of all of the lovers you let lie beside you
Weren't we sweetest of all

Wasn't it sweetest of all babe wasn't it sweetest of all
Of all of the lovers you let lie beside you
Weren't we sweetest of all

Weren't we sweetest of all babe weren't we sweetest of all
Of all of the lovers you let lie beside you
Weren't we sweetest of all

STORMS NEVER LAST

(Jessi Colter) « © '74 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Storms never last do they baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
You make the sun want to shine

You followed me down so many roads baby
I've picked wild flowers and sung you soft sad songs
And every road we've took Lord knows our search was for the truth
And the clouds brewing now won't be the last

But storms never last do they baby...
[ guitar ] Storms never last do they baby
Bad times bad times bad times all pass
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
You make the sun want to shine

Storms never last do they baby...

I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE TONIGHT

(Shel Silverstein) « © '78 Evil Eye Music, BMI »
Your phone's gonna ring in the darkness some night
And you'll rise from your bed where you lay
And you'll answer hello and from out of the past
A voice you once loved is gonna say

I don't wanna be alone tonight I don't wanna be alone
And I had to call someone who used to care
I don't wanna be alone tonight I don't wanna be alone
So say that you still want me and I'll be there
[ guitar ] Maybe someday you'll lie there and look at the rain
Feeling afraid and alone
Feeling a hunger you just can't explain
And you'll be the voice on the phone

I don't wanna be alone tonight...
I don't wanna be alone tonight...

KNOWING SHE'S THERE

(Shel Silverstein - Dennis Locorriere) « © '78 Evil Eye Music, BMI / Horse Hairs Music, BMI »
Knowing she's there makes it possible to live
Knowing she's there giving all she's got to give
And when the road got long and the load got heavier
She whispers babe I'm right there with you
Makes it easier to bear knowing she's there

Knowing she's there when I reach out in my sleep
Knowing she's there to hold me when I'm weak
And when the night's got cold and the days got drearier
She whispers babe I'm right there with ye
And make it easier to bear knowing she's there

Why did it make me that the lady's love for granted
How could you live so deep in a woman and never noticed the change
Why doesn't any love ever go the way you planned it
And why doesn't any woman ever stay the same

Now knowing she's there instead of being here with me
Just knowing she's there giving him what she gave me
And it ain't that I can't live without it but everytime I think about it
Something inside me screams something inside me burns
I feel something inside me tear knowing she's there
[ guitar ] (Knowing she's there knowing she's there)

CLYDE

(John J. Cale) « © '78 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
Clyde played electric bass
Played it with finesse and grace
Set on the porch ain't got no shoes
Pickin' the bass and singin' the blues

Misery loves company
That old dog sings harmony
Tambourine tied to his tail
You can hear him howl you can hear him wail

Clyde played electric bass Clyde played electric bass
Clyde played electric bass
[ guitar ] Pickin' the bass and singin' the blues
Singin' the blues singin' the blues
[ guitar ] Jodie girl she got the dollar
Down the road you can hear her holler
Come on Clyde there's things to do
Clyde kept pickin' and singin' the blues

Clyde played electric bass
Played it with finesse and grace
Set on the porch ain't got no shoes
Pickin' the bass and singin' the blues
[ guitar ] Come on Clyde come on Clyde...

WHEN YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

(Even Stevens) « © '78 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
When you're in love with a beautiful woman it's hard
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you know it's hard
Everybody wants her everybody loves her
Everybody wants to take your baby home

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman it never ends
You know that it's crazy you wanna trust her
Then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you go it alone

Maybe it's just an ego problem problem is that I've been fooled before
By fair weather friends and faint hearted lovers
And everytime it happens it just convinces me more

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch her eyes
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you look for lies
Everybody tempts her everybody tells her
She's the most beautiful woman they know

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you go it alone
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman oh it never ends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch her eyes
When you're in love with a beautiful woman keep lookin' for lies

DOOLEY JONES

(Hazel Smith - Walter Carter) « © '78 Horse Hairs Music, BMI »
Dooley Jones was doomed since the day that he was born
All because his ma was Sadie Jones
Cruel words upon him ever since he was young
You ain't got no daddy boy you ain't no man's son

Children heard the facts at home talked 'em up in school
Teased him till his mind was bent and bruised
Weight upon his shoulder a thorn stuck in his soul
His body walks and talks ah but his mind has no control

Dooley Jones Dooley Jones you're no man's son you're no man's child
Springtime satisfaction December's harvest wild

Dooley walks the highway every day for miles
Babbling to the birds flying by
Somewhere some man hides his eyes cause Dooley is his child
Son of season's pleasure forever running wild

Dooley Jones Dooley Jones...
Dooley Jones Dooley Jones...

(Forever running wild forever running wild...)

I GAVE HER COMFORT

(Shel Silverstein - Dennis Locorriere) « © '78 Evil Eye Music, BMI / Horse Hairs Music, BMI »
To think that I'm the kinda guy who ever could have kept her
Would be taking too much credit on myself
And seein' us together you just knew that she'd look better
With somebody else

Now she's gone no one's surprised least of all not me
I always knew that I was just a comfort in her time of need

Just a comfort just a comfort in her time
I gave her comfort in her time of need
Gave her comfort gave her comfort in her time
I gave her comfort in her time of need
[ guitar ] You knew that we had plans for San Franciso in September
But I didn't see California in her eyes
And by the end of summer someone made a better offer
You know I'm not surprised

Just a quit goodbye nobody's crying no nobody's crying
I always knew that I was just a comfort in her time of need

Just a comfort just a comfort in her time...
Just a comfort just a comfort in her time...

ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD

(Shel Silverstein - Even Stevens) « © '78 Evil Eye Music, BMI / Screen Gems Music, BMI »
Lay down let's explore this tenderness between us
There ain't no one around at all to see us
And baby would you mind if maybe you and I
Took a little time to find each other

Baby we got all the time in the world
So why don't we just take it nice and slow
We got everything we need to plant a loving seed
And all the time we need to watch it grow

Stay down stay at least until the fire stops burning
At least until the room has stopped it's turning
And when the embers dyin' low we're lyin' in the afterglow
It'll be as sweet as anything we've ever known

Baby we got all the time in the world...
Baby we got all the time in the world...
Baby we got all the time in the world...

YOU MAKE MY PANTS WANT TO GET UP AND DANCE

(Sam Weedman) « © '78 Horse Hairs Music, BMI »
You make my pants wanna get up and dance
You make my face wanna grin
You make my knees wanna kneel down say please
Honey won't you kiss me again

You make my pants wanna get up and dance...

I was a lost and lonely man
Draggin' through life the best I can
Till the day I laid my eye on you
That day I decided what I had to do

You make my pants wanna get up and dance...
[ guitar ] Start the music strike up the band
I never done the boogie but I believe I can
Never met a girl half as sweet as you
Nobody's ever moved half the moves you do

You make my pants wanna get up and dance...
