Green Sleeves

Alas my love
You do me wrong
To cast me off discoureously
And I have loved you oh
So long delighting in your company
Green sleeves was all my joy
Green sleeves was my delight
Green sleeves was my heart of God
And who but my lady green sleeves



Green Fields

Once there were green fields kissed by the sun
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run
Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above
Once there were part of an everlasting love
We were the lovers who strolled through green fields

Green fields are gone now parched by the sun
Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run
Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart
Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart
Where are the green fields that we used to roam

I`ll never know what made you run away
How can I keep searchin`
When dark clouds hide the day
I only know there`s nothing here for me
Nothing in this wide world left for me to see
But I`ll keep on waiting `till you return
I`ll keep on waiting until the day you learn
You can`t be happy while your heart`s on the roam
You can`t be happy until you bring it home
Home to the green fields and me once again



Good-Bye, Jimmy, Good-Bye

Good-Bye, Jimmy, Good-Bye
Good-Bye, Jimmy, Good-Bye
I`ll see you again,
But I don`t know when.
Good-Bye, Jimmy, Good-Bye
When wind is blowin`,
Rain starts to fall.
Train is tootin`
Its long lonesome call,
Wheels are clickin` their way down the train
Counting the days till he`s comin` back.

Good-Bye, Jimmy, Good-Bye
Good-Bye, Jimmy, Good-Bye
I`ll see you again,
But I don`t know when.
Good-Bye, Jimmy, Good-Bye
When he has traveled the land and sea,
He`ll stop his roamin`
And come home to me.
Give me a kiss for each tear and each sigh,
Till then my Jimmy, my Jimmy,Good-Bye.
Good-Bye, Jimmy, Good-Bye
Good-Bye, Jimmy, Good-Bye
I`ll see you again,
But I don`t know when.
Good-Bye, Jimmy, Good-Bye
Good-Bye, Jimmy, Good-Bye




Goodbye To Love


I`ll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just can`t seem to find it

So I`ve made my mind up I must live my life alone
And though it`s not the easy way
I guess I`ve always known
I`d say goodbye to love

There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And I`ll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something I could live for

All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I`ll go on as best I can

What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
There may come a time when I will see that I`ve been wrong
But for now this is my song.

And it`s goodbye to love
I`ll say goodbye to love.



Five Hundred Miles


If you miss the train I`m on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles
A hundred miles
A hundred miles
A hundred miles
A hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Lord, I`m one
Lord, I`m two
Lord, I`m three
Lord, I`m four
Lord, I`m five hundred miles
Away from home
Away from home
Away from home
Away from home
Away from home
Lord, I`m five hundred miles
Away from home

Not a shirt on my back
Not penny to my name
Lord, I can`t go back home this away
This away
This away
This away
This away
Lord, I can`t go back home this away

If you miss the train I`m on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles



Feelings


Feelings, nothing more than feelings,
Trying to forget my feelings of love.
Teardrops, rolling down on my face,
Trying to forget my feelings of love.
Feelings, for all my life I`ll feel it.
I wish I`ve never met you, girl.
You`ll never come again.
Feeling,oh,...
Feeling,oh,....
Feeling
Again in my arms.
Feelings, feelings like I`ve never lost you,
And feelings like I`ll never have you
Again in my heart,
Feelings, for all my life I`ll feel it.
I wish I`ve never met you, girl.
You`ll never come again.

Feelings, feelings like I`ve never lost you,
And feelings like I`ll never have you
Again in my heart,
Feeling,oh,...
Feeling,oh,....
Feeling
Again in my arms.

Feeling,oh,...
Feeling,oh,....
Feeling



Edelweiss


Edelweiss, Edelweiss,
Every morning you greet me.
Small and white,
Clean and bright,
You look happy to meet me.
Blossom of snow,
May you bloom and grow,
Bloom and grow forever.
Edelweiss, Edelweiss,
Bless my homeland forever.

Small and white,
Clean and bright,
You look happy to meet me.
Blossom of snow,
May you bloom and grow,
Bloom and grow forever.
Edelweiss, edelweiss,
Bless my homeland forever.



Early Morning Rain


In the early mornin` rain
With a dollar in my hand
With an aching in my heart
And my -pockets full of sand
I`m a long ways from home
And I missed my loved one so
In the early mornin` rain
With no place to go

Out on runway No. 9
Big 707 set to go
And I`m stuck here on the grass
Where the cold winds blow
Where the liquor tasted good
And the time went fast
Well, there she goes, my friend
There she`s rolling out at last

Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver bird on high
She`s away and westward bound
Far above the cloud she`ll fly
Where the mornin` rain don`t fall
And the sun always shines
She`ll be flying over my home
In about three hours time

Well, this old airports got me down
It ain`t no earthly good to me
`Cause I`m stuck here on the ground
Cold and lonely as I can be
You can`t jump a jet plane
Like you can`t, a freight train
So I`d best be on my way
In the early mornin` rain
So I`d best be on my way
In the early mornin` rain



Do-Re-Mi


Let`s start
At the very begining
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with
A-B-C;
When you sing you begin with
Do-Re-Mi,Do-Re-Mi
The first there notes
Just happen to be
Do-Re-Mi
Do-Re-Mi
Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti
Doe-a deer, a female deer
Ray-a drop of golden sun
Me-a name, I call myself
Far-a long long way to run
Sew-a needle pulling thread
La-a note to follow "sew"
Tea-a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us
Back to Do-oh-oh



Donna, Donna


On a wagon bound for market
there`s a calf with a mournful eye.
High above him there`s a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky.
How the winds are laughing!
They laugh with all their might.
Laugh and laugh
The whole day through
And half the summer`s night.
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna,
Donna, Donna, Donna, Do~~
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna,
Donna, Donna, Donna, Do~~

Stop complaining, said the farmer,
Who told you a calf to be?
Why don`t you have wings to fly with
Like the swallow so proud and free?

How the winds are laughing.
They laugh with all their might,
Laugh and laugh
The whole day through
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna,
Donna, Donna, Donna, Do~~
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna,
Donna, Donna, Donna, Do~~

Calves are easily bound
And slaughtered,
Never knowing the reason why.
But whoever treasures freedom
Like a swallow has learned to fly?

How the winds are laughing.
They laugh with all their might,
Laugh and laugh
The whole day through
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna,
Donna, Donna, Donna, Do~~
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna,
Donna, Donna, Donna, Do~~~




Don`t Think Twice It`s Alright


It ain`t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don`t know by now
An` it ain`t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don`t matter do somehow
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I`ll be gone
You`re the reason I`m trav`lin` on
Don`t think twice, it`s all right

It ain`t no use in turnin` on your light, babe
That light I never know
An` it ain`t no use in turnin` on your light, babe
I`m on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin` you could do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin` anyway
So don`t think twice, it`s all right

It ain`t no use in callin` out my name, gal
Like you`ve never done before
It ain`t no use in callin` out my name, gal
I can`t hear you any more
I`m thinkin` and wond`rin` walking down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I`m told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don`t think twice, it`s all right

So long, honey babe, where I`m bound, I can`t tell
Goodbye`s too good a word, babe
So I`ll just say fare thee well
I ain`t sayin` you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don`t mind
All you did was wasted my precious time
But don`t think twice, it`s all right.




Don`t Cry, Joni


Jimmy please say you`ll wait for me
I`ll grow up some day you`ll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love forever true

Joni was a girl who lived next door
I`ve known her I guess ten years or more
Joni wrote me a note one day
And this is what she had to say

Jimmy please say you`ll wait for me
I`ll grow up some day you`ll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love forever true

Slowly I read her note once more
Then I went over to the house next door
Her teardrops fell like rain that day
When I told Joni what I had to say

Joni Joni please don`t cry
You`ll forget me by and by
you`ll just fifteen and I`m twenty-two
And Joni I just can`t wait for you

Soon I left out little home town
Got me a job and try to settle down
But these works kept on my memory
The words that Joni said to me

Jimmy please say you`ll wait for me
I`ll grow up some day you`ll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love forever true

I packed my clothes and I called the plane
I had to see Joni I had to explain
How my heart was filled with her memory
And that`s my Joni if she married me

I ran out the way to the house next
But things weren`t like they were defore
My teardrops fell like rain that day
When I hear what Joni had to say

Jimmy Jimmy please don`t cry
You`ll forget me by and by
It`s been five years since you`ve been gone
Jimmy I married your best friend John.




Devoted To You


Darling you can count on me
Till the sun dries up the sea
Until then I`ll always be
Devoted To You

I`ll be yours till endless time
I`ll adore your charms sublime
Guess by now you know that l`m
Devoted To You

I`ll never hurt you
I`ll never lie
I`ll never be untrue
I`ll never give you reason to cry
I`ll be unhappy
If you were blue

Through the years our love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can`t die because I`m so
Devoted To You

I`ll never give you reason to cry
I`ll be unhappy
If you were blue

Through the years our love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can`t die because I`m so
Devoted To You.




Close To You


La~~ close to you
La~~ close to you

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near
Just like me they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by
Just like me they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

La~~~ close to you.




Casablance


I fell in love with you
Watching Casablance.
Back row of the driving show
In the flickering light.
Popcorn and cokes
Beneath the stars
Became champagne and caviar.
Making love on a long hot summer`s night.

I thought you fell in love
With me watching Casablance.
Holding hands `neath the paddle fans
In Rick`s candled cafe~
Hiding in the shadows from the spots.
A rocky moonlight in your arms
Making magic in the movies
in your old Chevrolet.

Oh`a kiss is still a kiss in Casablance.
A kiss is not a kiss without your sigh.
Please come back to me in Casablance
I love you more and more each day
As time goes by.

I guess there are many broken hearts in Casablance.
You know I`ve never really been there.
So I don`t know.
I guess our love story will never be seen
On the big wide silver screen.
But it hurt just as bad
When I had to watch you go

Oh`a kiss is still a kiss in Casablance.
A kiss is not a kiss without your sigh.
Please come back to me in Casablance.
I love you more and more each day
As time goes by.

Oh`a kiss is still a kiss in Casablance.
A kiss is not a kiss without your sigh.
Please come back to me in Casablance.
I love you more and more each day
As time goes by.

I love you more and more each day
As time goes by.





Careless Whispers


Time can never mend,
The careless whispers of a good friend.
To the heart and mind ignorance is kind.
There`s no comfort in the truth.
Pain is the whole you`ll find.
I should have known better -- yeah~~

I feel so unsure as I take you hand
And lead you to the dance floor.
As the as music dies something in you eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen and all is sad goodbye.

I am never gonna dance again.
Guity feet have got no rhythm.
Though it`s easy to pretend,
I know you`re not a fool.
I should have known better than to cheet a friend
And waste the chance that I`ve been given.
So I`m never gonna dance again
The way I dance with you~~~

So I`m never gonna dance again
The way I dance with you~~~ woh~~~

Tonight the music seems so loud.
I wish that we could lose this crowd.
Maybe it`s better this way.
We`d hurt each other with the things we want to say.
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever.
But now who`s gonna dance with me please stay.




Blowin` In The Wind


How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, `n` how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, `n` how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they`re forever banned?
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?
Yes, `n` how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, `n` 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.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it`s washed to the sea?
Yes, `n` how many years can some people exist
Before they`re allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn`t see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin` in the wind,
The answer is blowin` in the wind.

All I Have To Do Is Dream


Dream~~~ dream dream dream.
Dream~~~ dream dream dream,when I want you.
In my arms, when I want you.
And all your charms whenever I want you.
All I have to do, is dream~~~

Dream dream dream,when I feel blue.
In the night and I need you
To hold me tight whenever I want you.
All I have to do is dream~~~

I can make you mine,
Taste your lips of wine,
Any time, night or day.
Only trouble is, gee wiz~~,
I`m dreaming my life away.

I need you so that I could die,
I love you so, and that is why
Whenever I want you,
All I have to do is dream~~~
Dream dream dream, dream~~.




A Dear John Letter


Dear John, oh, how I hate to write!
Dear John, I must let you know tonight
that my love for you has died
away like grass upon the lawn.
And tonight I wed another, dear John.

I was overseas in battle
when the postman came to me.
He handed me a letter
and I was just as happy as I could be,
`cause the fighting was all over
and the battles had all been won.
But then I opened up that letter
and it started: Dear John.

Won`t you please send back my picture?
My husband wants it now.
When I tell you who I`m wedding,
you won`t care, do you anyhow?
And it hurts me so to tell you
that my love for you is gone.
But tonight I wed your brother,
dear John.
