FOOL

(Carl Sigman - Hans Last) « © '72 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP / Intersong USA, ASCAP »
Fool you didn't have to hurt her fool you didn't have to lose her
Fool you only had to love her but now her love is gone

Fool you could have made her want you fool you could have made her love you
Fool you only had to love her but now her love is gone

Gone now the love and laughter see yourself the morning after
Can't you see her eyes are misty as she said goodbye

Fool you didn't have to hurt her...
Fool you only had to love her but now her love is gone

Fool you could have made her want you...
Fool you didn't have to hurt her...

WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE

(Paul M. Williams) « © '72 Almo Music, ASCAP »
If I knew the way I'd go back home
The countryside has changed so much I'd surely end up lost
Half-remembered names and faces so far in the past
On the other side of the bridges that were burned once they were crossed

Tell me where where does a fool go when there's no one left to listen
To a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear
Tell me where where does a fool go when he knows there's something missing
Tell me where where will I go from here where will I go from here

Get back home where my childhood dreams
And wishes still are none of my regrets
Go back to a place where I can figure all the odds
Have a fightin' chance to lose the blues and win my share of bets

Tell me where where does a fool go...
Tell me where where does a fool go...
Tell me where where does a fool go...

LOVE ME LOVE THE LIFE I LEAD

(Tony McAulay - Roger Greenaway) « © '71 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I am not a wise man neither am I a fool
But what I am the way the good Lord made me
Though I need you more than you may ever understand
I can't wear a face that will betray me

Oh if you're gonna love me love the life I lead
Need the things I need don't try to change me
If you're gonna take me take me for what I am
I can't be another man I can't be free
Cause the life I lead is the life I lead

Money in my pocket never seems to last too long
I've gambled on the way and drowned my sorrows
Though God knows I can't pretend it's better on my own
I can't promise you a new tomorrow

Oh if you're gonna love me love the life I lead...
Oh if you're gonna love me love the life I lead...
Oh if you're gonna love me love the life I lead...

IT'S STILL HERE

(Ivory Joe Hunter) « © '71 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
The day you said we'd never part you turned around and broke my heart
You had the nerve to tell me I would soon forget
Now you've been gone away one year and I have not forgotten dear
The love I had for you so long is still here

It's here still here because my heart cannot believe we're really through
And though you said we'd never part you turned around and broke my heart
The love I had for you so long is still here

It's here still here because my heart cannot believe...

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE (SOMOS NOVIOS)

(Sid Wayne - Armando Manzanero) « © '68 BMG Songs, ASCAP »
It's impossible tell the sun to leave the sky it's just impossible
It's impossible to ask a baby not to cry it's just impossible
Can I hold you closer to me and not feel you going through me
But the second that I never think of you oh how impossible

Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore it's just impossible
If I had you could I ever want for more it's just impossible
And tomorrow should you ask me for the world somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul and not regret it
For to live without your love is just impossible

Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore...
Oh impossible impossible

FOR LOVIN' ME

(Gordon Lightfoot) « © '64 Early Morning Music, SESAC »
That's what you get for lovin' me
That's what you get for lovin' me
Everything we had is gone if you can see
That's what you get for lovin' me

Now don't you shed a tear for me
I ain't the love you thought I'd be
I've had a hundred just like you but don't be blue
I'll have a thousand fore I'm through

That's what you get for lovin' me...

And nowhere you go you're cryin' again
You should have known how things would end
But then someday when your poor heart is on the mend
I just might pass this way again

That's what you get for lovin' me...
That's what you get for lovin' me...

PADRE

(Paul F. Webster - Alan Romans) « © '57 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
The day that we wed you blessed us and said may heaven bestow you grace
There in that holy place we shared our first embrace
Our cottage was small but richer than all the palaces of a king
All day the birds would sing our hearts were filled with spring

Padre oh Padre what happened to our love so true
Padre oh Padre in my grief I turn to you

Then he came along and sang her his song and won her with honey lies
He of the fiery eyes now it's my heart that cries
So I kneel and pray the hours away and weary my heart has grown
Wondering where love has flown counting my tears alone

Padre oh Padre please tell me how such things can be
Padre oh Padre pray for my love and me

I'LL TAKE YOU HOME AGAIN KATHLEEN

(Thomas Westendorf) « © '55 Songs Of Universal, BMI / Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
I'll take you home again Kathleen across the ocean wild and wide
To where your heart has ever been since first you were my bunny bride

The roses all have left your cheek I watch them fade away and die
Your voice is soft whatever you speak and tears bedim your lovely eyes

Oh I will take you home Kathleen to where your heart shall feel no pain
And when the fields are soft and green I eill take you to your home Kathleen

I WILL BE TRUE

(Ivory Joe Hunter) « © '71 Unichappell Music, BMI »
I will be true no matter what they may say
I will be true although you're far far away
Each night I pray all day I'll say a silent prayers
That when I open my door I'll find you there

Somehow I feel that someday we'll meet again
Don't ask me how it's something I can't explain
Until the day I give up all hope of you
Assure yourself this I'll do I will be true

Oh oh mhm that someday we'll meet again...

DON'T THINK TWICE IT'S ALL RIGHT

(Bob Dylan) « © '63 Special Rider Music, SESAC »
There ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe if you don't know by now
There ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe if you don't know by now
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Well look out your window baby I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travelin' on yeah don't think twice it's all right

I've headed down that long lonesome road girl where I'm bound I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word girl so I'll say faretheewell
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could've done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time oh don't think twice it's all right
Take it on
[ guitar ] When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Well I look out your window baby I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm movin' on yeah don't think twice it's all right

Ain't no use to sit and wonder why girl it don't matter anyhow
Sin't no use to sit and wonder why babe if you don't know by now
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Well I look out your window baby I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm movin' on yeah don't think twice it's all right

I'm headed down that long lonesome road babe where I'm bound I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word girl I'll just say faretheewell
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could've done better but I I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my favorite time yeah don't think twice it's all right
