Misery

Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman

© Valley Pub, BMI

When you're with somebody new misery
Doin' things we use to do misery
I remember every kiss we use to share
It's hard to believe that you don't care
When I turn around and your not there
When I turn around and your not there
Misery oh misery

When I sit alone at night misery
How I long to hold you tight misery
If this is the price I have to pay
I don't wanna live another day
I just can't go on this way
But I just can't go on this way
Misery oh misery
[ instrumental ]
When you're with somebody new misery...
Misery ooh

Day Dreams

Del Shannon

I sit here all alone tears in my eyes
Seeing shadows of you
But it's only only a daydream that I dream
They say we're through
It must be so but I'm still thinking of you
But it's only only a daydream that I dream of you

It was only yesterday you were in love with me
Now alone am I to dream dreaming of only you

I'm so lonely can't fight these tears
Making mem'ries of you
But it's only only a daydream that I dream of you
Oh it's only only a daydream that I dream of you

(Marie's The Name) His Latest Flame

Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman

A very old friend came by today
Cause he was tellin' everyone in town
About the love that he just found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Though I smiled the tears inside were a burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry

Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Though I smiled the tears inside were a burning...
Would you believe that yesterday...

Marie's the name of his latest flame
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

The Prom

On my way to the senior prom saw a crowd all gathered round
Stopped the car got out to see just what it could be
There lying near the crowd was a girl dressed in a gown
Walked up so I could see just who it could be

Knelt down by her side tears came into my eyes
There lie the one love one I'd always love
Then she said take this ring of mine you are my love divine
And as our lips met I know I can't forget

The way my heart cried the way it hurt inside
She's gone so far away my lonely heart must pay
She's gone gone she's gone

There lies the the one I love the one I'll I'll always love
If I'd have picked her up on time the precious love would still be mine
The love the love she gave to me will always stay with me
Till the day we meet till the day we meet in eternity

The way my heart cried the way it hurt inside...

The Search

Del Shannon

I'll climb mountains high
I'll find that by and by
I left her for another love
Oh how blind can anyone be

I'll search valley low
To her my love I'll show
She gave the truest love to me
I deserted and now I must pay
[ instrumental ]
I pray for her return
Till then my heart will burn
I've paid for all the wrong I've done
Oh heavens please show me the way

Runaway

Del Shannon - Max Crook

© Vicki Music, BMI

As I walk along I wonder
A what went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong

And as I still walk on I think of
The things we've done together
A while our hearts were young

I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery

And I wonder I won won won won wonder
Why why why why why why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway a run run run run runaway
[ instrumental ]
I'm a walkin' in the rain...
I wonder I won won won won wonder...

A run run run run runaway
A run run run run runaway

I Wake Up Crying

Hal David - Burt Bacharach

© Famous Music, ASCAP

I wake up cryin' after tossin' and a turnin'
And a yearnin' the whole night long
Pretty baby since you went away
Haven't spent a happy day

I wake up cryin' after sobbin' and a sighin'
And a wonderin' just what went wrong
Pretty baby I was good to you
Why'd you go and make me blue

I need your arms to hold me tight
I need your lips to kiss goodnight
I'm so unhappy on my own
Don't don't leave me sad and lonely

I wake up cryin' after tossin' and turnin'
And a yearnin' the whole night long
Pretty baby please come back to me
Save me from this misery

Oh baby won't you save me from this misery
Oh baby won't you save me from this misery

Wide Wide World

Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman

© Valley Pub, BMI

Why'd you go sweet kissing made me
Love you so wasn't certain but now I know
What you mean to me
Tell me where in this wide wide wide wide wide wide world
Can you be

Why'd you stray how'd I ever let you
Get away I've been searching for you
Every day can't you hear my plea
Tell me where in this wide wide wide wide wide wide world
Can you be

Can't you hear me calling come home
How you're gonna leave me alone
Baby how I miss your sweet touch
Don't you know I love you oh so much

And I was wrong
I'd be willing just to string along
Stead of sittin' singin' my sad song so endlessly
Tell me where in this wide wide wide wide wide wide world
Can you be

Tell me where in this wide wide wide wide wide wide world
Can you be can you be

I'll Always Love You

Del Shannon

© Vicki Music, BMI

This is the beginning
The start of something I can't stop
And I will always need you
Till trees don't grow till streams won't flow
I'll always love you

Maybe sweetheart someday soon
We will walk side by side
Then my darling you will know
And you'll you'll realize

That I will always need you
I swear it's true
No one else will do
I'll always love you

Lies

Del Shannon

© Vicki Music, BMI

Why do people tell lies
Just to see others cry
They tell you I've been untrue
If you believe them you're believing lies

Oh darling believe what I say
Don't let your heart get away
Don't listen to gossip that's going round
If you believe them you're believing lies

Don't believe a word they say
They're tryin' to get things their way
If you believe every word you hear
You'll wind up with only tears

I know things look out of hand
But if you just understand
I'll clear things up if you just wait
If you believe them you're believing lies

Don't believe a word they say...

I know things look out of hand...

If you believe them you're believing lies
If you believe them you're believing lies

He Doesn't Care

Del Shannon

© Vicki Music, BMI

He think he loves you you think his love is fair
You're so sweet to him and he doesn't care
He holds you closely and scolds your hair
He's got you on a string and he doesn't care

All my life I prayed for a love like yours
Then came a longing and broke up our love affair
You think I'm lying you think you'll always care
He's got you on a string and he doesn't care
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

Jody

Jody I miss you so
More than you'll ever know
And I'll wait for Jody

Each year you go away
I count the lonely days
Till you'll return in June

The leaves begin to fall
The summer I'll recall
Next year we'll be alone
Forever together

I'll write you every day
I'll buy a ring in May
And I'll wait for Jody

Jody Jody Jody Jody
