EARLY IN THE MORNING
(Bobby Darin - Woody Harris)
« © '59 Alley Music, BMI / Oirt Music, BMI »
Well you're gonna miss me early in the morning
One of these days oh yeah
You're gonna want me early in the morning when I'm away
Hey don't you know
You'll be sorry for the times I cry and you'll be sorry for the times you lie
Yes you're gonna miss me early in the morning one of these days
Oh yeah
You know a rolling stone don't gather no moss
And you cross your bridge when it's time to cross
Well you broke my heart when he said goodbye
Now the milk is spilled and you're gonna cry
Yeah early in the morning you're gonna know that I was right
Oh yeah
Yeah early in the morning when there's nobody to hold you tight
Oh yeah

All your hugs and kisses and your money too
You know you love me baby until you tell me maybe
That some day I'll be blue
Well that'll be the day when you say goodbye...
[ guitar - harmonica ]
Well that'll be the day when you say goodbye...
When Cupit shot his dart he shot it at your heart
So if we ever part and I leave you
You say you told me and you told me boldly
That some day I will be blue
Cause that'll be the day when you say goodbye...
That'll be the day that'll be the day
That'll be the day that'll be the day when I die

IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE
(Paul Anka)

There you go and baby here am I
Well you left me here so I could sit and cry
Will you apologize what have you done to me
Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore
Do you remember baby last September
How you held me tight each and every night
Well looked so dazy how you drove me crazy
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore
There's no use in me of cryin'
I've done everything and now I'm sick of tryin'
I've thrown away my nights and wasted all my days over you
Well you'll go your way and I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
I'll find somebody new baby we'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore
[ strings ]
There's no use in me of cryin'...
You won't matter anymore

THINK IT OVER
(Buddy Holly - Norman Petty - Jerry Allison)
« © '59 Peer International, BMI / Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Think it over what you just said think it over in your head
Are you sure that I'm not the one is your love real or only fun
Think it over think it over a lonely heart grows cold and old
Think it over and let me know think it over but don't be slow
Just remember all birds and bees go by two's through life's mysteries
Think it over think it over a lonely heart grows cold and old
[ horns ]
Think it over and think of me think it over and you will see
A happy day when you and I think as one and kiss the blues goodbye
Think it over think it over a lonely heart grows cold and old
Think it over think it over think it over

RAINING IN MY HEART
(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant)
« © '59 House Of Bryant, BMI »
The sun is out the sky is blue
There's not a cloud to spoil the view
But it's raining raining in my heart
The weatherman says clear today
He doesn't know you've gone away
And it's raining raining in my heart
Oh misery misery what's gonna become of me
I tell my blues they mustn't show
But soon these tears are bound to flow
Cause it's raining raining in my heart
[ strings ]
Mhm it's raining raining in my heart
[ strings ]
Yes it's raining raining in my heart
Oh misery misery what's gonna become of me
I tell my blues they mustn't show...
Raining in my heart raining in my heart
