CRYING GAME
(Geoff Stephens)
« © '64 Peer Music, BMI »

I know all there is to know about the crying game
I've had my share of the crying game
But there are kisses then there are cries
And then before you know where you are you're saying goodbye

One day soon I'm gonna tell the moon about the crying game
And if he knows maybe he'll explain
Why there are heartaches why there are tears
And what to do to stop feeling blue when love disappears
[ strings ]
But there are kisses then there are cries
And then before you know where you are you're saying goodbye
Don't want no more of them crying games
Don't want no more of them crying games

Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' each night of his charms
That won't get you into his arms

All you gotta do is hold him and kiss him and love him
And show him that you care

Wear you hair just for him girl you won't get him

Just wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kisses will start

All you've gotta do is hold him and kiss him
And squeeze him and love him
Yeah just do it and after you do you will be his

FUNNY HOW TIME SLIPS AWAY
(Willie Nelson)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »

Well hello there my it's been a long long time
How am I doin' oh I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now and it seems that it was only yesterday
Gee ain't it funny how time slips away

How's your new love I hope that she's doin' fine
I heard you told her that you'd love her till the end of time
Now that's the same thing that you told me it seems like just the other day
Oh ain't it funny how time slips away

I gotta go now I guess I'll see you around
Don't know when though I never know when I'll be back in town
But you just remember what I tell you that in time you're gonna pay
And it's surprising how time slips away

IS IT TRUE
(John Carter - Mickie Most)

Listen to the talk that's goin' around town
Everywhere you go they're spreadin' it around
Saying that you've gone and found another one
Is it true my love oh

What about the ring you gave me yesterday
Is it hard for me to throw it all away
As you said goodbye if you have no lie
Is it true my love oh

Don't you know don't you know you're making me blue
Baby baby say it isn't say it isn't true
Comin' down the street the story looks the same
Everyone I meet is whispering your name
Saying that you've gone and found another one
Is it true my love oh

Saying that you've gone and found another one
Is it true my love oh

Don't you know don't you know making me blue...

ALWAYS SOMETHING THERE TO REMIND ME
(Hal David - Burt Bacharach)
« © '64 New Hidden Valley Music, ASCAP / Casa David, ASCAP »

I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me
And every step I take recalls how much in love we used to be
Oh how can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me oh oh oh

When shadows fall I passed a small cafe where we would dance at night
And I can't help recalling how it felt to kiss and hold you tight
Oh how can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me oh oh oh

If you should find you'll miss the sweet and tender love we used to share
Just come back to the places where we used to go and I'll be there
Oh how can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you and I will never be free
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me

Can't buy me love love can't buy me love

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright

[ guitar ]
Can't buy me love everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love no no no no

Say you don't need no diamond ring...

WHEN YOU LOVED ME
(Bob Tubert - Joe Byers)
« © '64 Unichappell Music, BMI / Ronbre Music, BMI »

When you loved me you took the stars down from the skies
Then you put them in my eyes when you loved me

When you loved me I knew I never can explain
Darling I heard the angels sing when you loved me

But now all the stars are back in the sky
I sent you away and I made the angels cry

When you loved me I was a fool too blind to see
You made the world turn just for me when you loved me
When you loved me
