TALK BACK TREMBLING LIPS
(John D. Loudermilk)
« © '63 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »

Talk back trembling lips shaky legs don't just stand there
Don't let her know she's gettin' through to you
Talk back trembling lips burning eyes don't start crying
Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two

Everyday our love's a battle royal
Dear it seems that fighting is all we do
But if I let you know how much I love you
You'll do things to me you shouldn't do

So talk back trembling lips...

Everytime you up and hurt my feelings
I pretend it couldn't matter less
But I'm just hiding all of my emotions
Behind my broken heart I guess

So talk back trembling lips...
Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two

BLUE VELVET
(Bernie Wayne - Lee Morris)
« © '63 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »

She wore blue velvet bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light from the stars
She wore blue velvet bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs love was ours

Ours the love I held tightly feelings the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly but when she left gone was the glow

Of blue velvet but in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm a memory through the years
And I still can see Blue Velvet through my tears

She wore blue velvet but in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm a memory through the years
And I still can see blue velvet through my tears

Danke schoen darling danke schoen thank you for all the joy and pain
Picture shows second balcony
Was the place we'd meet second seat go Dutch treat you were sweet

Danke schoen darling danke schoen save those lies darling don't explain
I recall Central Park in fall
How I tore my dress what a mess I confess that's not all

Danke schoen darling danke schoeh thank you for walks down Lovers lane
I can see hearts carved on a tree
Letters entertwined for all time yours and mine that was fine

Danke schoen darling danke schoen thank you for seeing me again
Though we go our separate ways

Danke schoen darling danke schoen thank you for seeing me again
Though we go our separate ways
But still the memory stays for always my heart says danke schoen

Danke schoen auf diedersehen danke schoen

WHAT AM I GONNA DO
(Paul Tannen)
« © '63 Ridge Music, BMI »

(Oh what am I gonna do)

I'm so afraid of losing you can't sleep at night since we're through
My world would end if I lose you oh what am I gonna do

In all my dreams I see your smile though it just last a little while
For that same smile he dreams up too oh what am I gonna do

I've seen you out with him though you've not seen me
You looked into his eyes and said words you said to me
Each time he holds you close something happens to me
I wish that you were in my arms just saying you love me

Endless dreams lonely nights empty arms that long to hold you tight
Mem'ries of a love untrue oh what am I gonna do
Oh what am I gonna do

MY LITTLE WORLD
(Ian R. Samwell - Jean Slater)
« © '63 Ridge Music, BMI »

You went and left me you left me and there was nothing I could do
You went and left me you left me and and broke my little world in two

I never thought you'd be the kinda girl to do that
To run around with other guy in town
You took my little world and smashed it into pieces
And you turn the happy smile into a frown

It wasn't right it wasn't fair it wasn't like you
It wasn't like the girl I once thought I knew
You used to be so sweet and gentle and I loved you
And you used to whisper that you love me too

But then you left me you left me...
[ guitar + strings ]
It wasn't right it wasn't fair...
But then you left me you left me...
Yes you broke my little world in two
Oh you broke my little world in two

I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU
(Don Gibson)
« © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »

I can't stop loving you so I've made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times
I can't stop wanting you it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

Those happy hours that we once knew
Though long ago still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you...
(I can't stop loving you)

WORRIED GUY
(Paul Evans - Jack Reardon)
« © '63 Mills Music, ASCAP / Port Music, ASCAP »

When my friends say that you're a run-around
I laugh at all and I tell them
That's why they lie but I'm a worried guy

You said last night you had to stay at home
Then how come you didn't answer the phone
That boy don't cry but I'm a worried guy

I never been unfaithful to you
So if you got a cheatin' heart you'll break my heart in two
Won't you tell me the stories that I hear
Are nothing but the silly rumors
Tell then oh my I'm just a worried guy
[ string ]
That boy don't cry but I'm a worried guy

I never been unfaithful to you...
I'm just a worried guy I'm just a worried guy
I'm just a worried guy I'm just a worried guy

ANOTHER YOU
(Johnny Tillotson - Lucille Cosenza)
« © '62 Ridge Music, BMI »

(I know there'll never ever be another you)

Just when I thought that you were mine alone
You told me there was someone new
Oh it's so hard to think of finding someone else
I know there'll never ever be another you

I can't forget the moments that we shared
And all the happiness we knew
And as I sit alone with these memories
I know there'll never ever be another you

I know there'll never ever be lips as sweet as yours
No there'll never ever be another you

I know it's hopeless to go on this way
But what is there for me to do
I've lost the only girl that I have ever loved
I know there'll never ever be another never ever be another
Never ever be another you
(Never ever be another) never ever be another you

RHYTHM OF THE RAIN
(John Gummoe)
« © '63 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
(Oh listen to the falling rain)

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rrain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her they steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another and my heart's somewehere far away

The only girl I care about has gone away...

Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Listen (listen to the rhythm of the falling rain)
Listen (listen to the rhythm of the falling rain)

ALL ALONE AM I
(Arthur Altman - Manos Hadjidakis - Ioann Idis)
« © '61 Songs Of Universal, BMI »

All alone am I ever since your goodbye
All alone with just a beat of my heart
People all around but I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart

No use in holding other hands for I'd be holding only emptiness
No use in kissing other lips for I'd be thinking just of your cares

All alone am I ever since your goodbye...

No other voice can say the words my heart must hear to ever sing again
The words you used to whisper low no other love can ever bring again

All alone am I ever since your goodbye...

« © '63 Ridge Music, BMI »

Please don't go away let me hold you in my arms
Let me kiss your lips and thrill to your charms
Please don't go away please don't go away
I could never find find a precious love like yours
Won't you hurry to my arms and stay
Please don't go away please don't go away

If I could call you mine little girl
Every dream I'll dream will come true loving you little girl
If only you would care say you'll care little girl
Please tell me that you'll stay
Please don't go away please don't go away
[ piano ]
If I could call you mine little girl...
Please don't go away please don't go away

BLOWIN' IN THE WIND
(Bob Dylan)
« © '63 Special Rider Music, SESAC »

How many roads must a man walk down before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail before she leeps in the sand
How many times must cannonballs fly before they're forever banned
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind the answer is blowin' in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind the answer is blowin' in the wind

How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky
How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind the answer is blowin' in the wind
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind the answer is blowin' in the wind
