It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday

How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh
Outweigh the bad.
I thought we'd get to see forever
But forever's gone away
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
I don't know where this road
Is going to lead.
All I know is where we've been
And what we've been through.
If we get to see tomorrow
I hope it's worth all the wait
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

I (Who Have Nothing)

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one with nothing to give you but, oh
I love you

He, he buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But, believe me, dear, when I say
That he can give you the world but he'll never love the way
I love you

He can take you any place he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else when, darling, it's I
Who loves you

Just One Look

Just one look and I fell so hard
In love with you, oh-oh, oh-oh
I found out how good it feels
To have your love, oh-oh, oh-oh
Say you will, will be mine
Forever and always, oh-oh, oh-oh
Just one look and I knew
That you were my only one
Oh oh-oh oh!

I thought I was dreamin' but I was wrong, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, but-a, I'm gonna keep on schemin'
Till I can a-make you, make you my own!

So you see, I really care
Without you I'm nothin', oh-oh, oh-oh
Just one look and I know
I'll get you someday, oh-oh, oh-oh

Just one look, that's all it took
Just one look, that's all it took
Just one look, that's all it took

Solomon Burke
Just Out Of Reach Of My Two Empty Arms

A love that runs away from me
Dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keeps on bothering me
Chains that just won't set me free
So far away from you and all your charm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

Each night in dreams I see your face
Memories and time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you're gone
Then I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from you so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

That lonesome feeling all the time
Knowing you could not be mine
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
Vows that we could never keep

So far away from you and all your charm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms, empty arms

Roberta Flack
Killing Me Softly With His Song

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him to listen for a while
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes
He was...
Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on...

He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
But he was there this stranger, singing clear and strong
He was...

Woh, woh,Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with his song..

Sail Away

Lock the door, suns a fallin.
Poke the fire, dont let the cold in.
Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life.

Found a boat to make the break in.
Filled with hope bout the step Im takin.
Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life.

Spent a long time listning to the captain of the sea,
Shoutin orders to his crew; no one hears but me.

Cast away, tides a runnin
Hoist the sail, strong winds comin.
Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life.

Spent a long time listning to the captain of the sea,
Shoutin orders to his crew; no one hears but me.

Lock the door, suns a fallin.
Poke the fire, dont let the cold in.
Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life.
Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life.

 

[Regunus]

Fly to a dream
Far across the sea
All the burdens gone
Open the chest once more
Dark chest of wonders
Seen through the eyes
Of the one with pure heart
Once so long ago

Lucky Lips

When I was just a little girl with long silky curls
Mama told me, "Honey, you've got more that other girls.
Now, you may not be good looking but you'll soon wear diamond clips
and you'll never have to worry 'cause you've got lucky lips."

Lucky lips are always kissing,
lucky lips are never blue.
Lucky lips will always find
a pair of lips that will be true.
I don't need a four-leaf clover,
rabbit's foot or good luck charm.
With lucky lips I'll always have
a fellow in my arms.

I never get heartbroken, no, I'll never get the blues
and if I play that game of love I know I just can't lose.
When they spin that wheel of fortune all I do is kiss my chips
and I know I picked a winner 'cause I've got lucky lips.

Lucky lips are always kissing,
lucky lips are never blue.
Lucky lips will always find
a pair of lips that will be true.
I don't need a four-leaf clover,
rabbit's foot or good luck charm.
With lucky lips I'll always have
a fellow in my arms.

Me And Mrs. Jones

Me and Mrs. Jones, we got a thing going on,
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now.
We meet ev'ry day at the same cafe,
Six-thirty I know she'll be there,
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite song.
Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones,
Mrs. Jones got a thing going on,
We both know that it's wrong,
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now.
We gotta be extra careful that we don't build our hopes too high
Cause she's got her own obligations and so do I,
Me, me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones,
Mrs. Jones got a thing going on,
We both know that it's wrong,
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now.
Well, it's time for us to be leaving,
Iit hurts so much, it hurts so much inside,
Now she'll go her way and I'll go mine,
But tomorrow we'll meet the same place, the same time.
Me and Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones

Mustang Sally, guess you better slow that Mustang down
Mustang Sally, guess you better slow that Mustang down
You been runnin' all over town
I guess you gotta put your flat feet off the ground
All you wanna do is ride around Sally ride Sally ride
All you wanna do is ride around Sally ride Sally ride
All you wanna do is ride around Sally ride Sally ride
All you wanna do is ride around Sally ride Sally ride
One of these early mornings
I'm gonna be wipin' those weepin' eyes
I bought you a brand new Mustang
It was 1965
Now you come around a so-phisticated woman
Girl you won't let me drive
Mustang Sally, guess you better slow that Mustang down
You been runnin' all over town
Guess you gotta put your flat feet off the ground
All you wanna do is ride around Sally ride Sally ride
All you wanna do is ride around Sally ride Sally ride
All you wanna do is ride around Sally ride Sally ride
All you wanna do is ride around Sally ride Sally ride
One of these early mornings
I'm gonna be wipin' those weepin' eyes

My Guy

Nothing you could say could take me away from my guy
Nothing you could do, 'cuz I'm stuck like glue to my guy
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather we stick together
I'm telling you from the start I can't be torn apart from my guy
As a matter of opinion I think he's tops
My opinion is he's the cream of the crop
As a matter of taste to be exact
He's my ideal as a matter of fact
No muscle bound man could take my hand from my guy
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy
He may not be a movie star
But when it comes to being happy we are
I'm telling you from the start I can't be torn apart from my guy
Nothing you could do, could make me untrue to my guy
Nothing you could buy, could make me tell a lie to my guy
I gave my guy my word of honor,
to be faithful...
won't be deceiving my guy
As a matter of opinion I think he's tops
My opinion is he's the cream of the crop
As a matter of taste to be exact
He's my ideal as a matter of fact
No muscle bound man could take my hand from my guy
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy
He may not be a movie star
But when it comes to being happy we are
I'm telling you from the start I can't be torn apart from my guy
No muscle bound man could take my hand from my guy
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy
He may not be a movie star
But when it comes to being happy we are

My Whole World Ended

Last week my life had meaning
It was beautiful and so sweet.
But now it's nothing, nothing without you, baby
My whole world is incomplete
'Cause I can't see you no more.
That was all that you said, baby.
But you just might as well have
Placed a gun to my head.
Baby, baby, why did you do it?
My whole world ended the moment you left me
Oh baby
My whole world ended the moment you left me
It tumbled to the ground baby.
Did you ever mean those sweet things
That you used to say?
Have a house and a lovely, a lovely daughter,
And a little baby some day.
Where did I go wrong, honey?
Whatever changed your mind, baby?
I've asked myself these questions
Over a million times.
Baby, baby, why did you leave me?
My whole world ended the moment you left me
Oh baby
My whole world ended the moment you left me
It tumbled to the ground baby.
Now my body is numb
It feels so senseless to the touch.
My life is wasted, wasted without you
I guess I loved you much too much.
How can I face tomorrow
When yesterday is all I see?
I just don't want to face tomorrow honey
If you're not sharing it with me.
Baby, baby, oh baby
My whole world ended...

Nail it to the Wall

Don't even think about tomorrow
Just keep tonight on your mind
Gonna rip it up, boy
One piece at a time

My machine is on automatic
Just pull the plug if it gets too much
Out of control
This love's so strong it's dangerous

When I'm with you
I can't wait to turn it loose

Nail it to the wall
If you want an education
Come on
Nail it to the wall
It's the perfect situation, come on

There's no secrets under the cover
It's just a place where lovers lie
Gonna open up, boy
And let you look inside

Don't be afraid to do some damage
I can see you're curious
Let's take tonight
And turn it into something serious, oh

Right here with you
I can't wait to turn it loose

Nail it...
Nail it to the wall
So, if you want an education
Nail it to the wall...

Oh No Not My Baby

When my friends told me you had someone new
I didn't believe a single word was true
I showed them all I had was faith in you
I just kept on saying,
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who leave you hard and tell you lies

My mama told me when rumour spread,
There's truth somewhere and I should use my head
But I didn't listen to what she said
I kept right on saying,
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
You're not like those other boys
Who play with hearts like they were toys

Well you might have had a last-minute fling
But I am sure it didn't mean a thing
'Cause yesterday you gave me a ring
And now I'm glad that I kept on saying,
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who leave you hard and tell you lies
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby

The Clovers
One Mint Julep

One early mornin', as I was walkin'
I met a woman, we started talkin'
I took her home, to get a few nips,
But all I had was a mint julep.
One mint julep was the cause of it all.

I don't remember just how it started,
I only know that we should have parted.
I stole a kiss, and then another.
I didn't mean to take it further.
One mint julep was the cause of it all.

The lights were burning low, there in the parlor,
When through the kitchen door, up popped her father.
He said 'I saw you when you kissed my daughter.
Better wed her right now, or face a slaughter!'

I didn't know just what I was doin'
I had to marry or face ruin.
A mint julep, a mint julep,
A mint julep, a mint julep,
One mint julep was the cause of it all.

Now, I don't want to bore you with my troubles
But from now on I'll be thinkin' double.
I'm through with flirtin' and drinkin' whiskey.
I got six extra children from a-gettin' frisky.
A mint julep, a mint julep,
A mint julep, a mint julep,
One mint julep was the cause of it all.

Precious Precious

Precious, precious.
Precious, precious.
Precious baby, you're mine.
Mmm... if you don't love me, I'm used to that.
If you don't need me, baby, I can adjust to that.
If you don't want me, honey, that's alright.
If you ain't willin', baby, there sure won't be no fight.

'Cause I'm still satisfied
In loving you
And I'll be waiting 'round when you get through.
Oh, you're precious, honey.
You're so precious.
Precious baby, you're mine.

You've been in and out of my life
And, ooh, baby that hurts,
Baby, that hurts, yeah.
You've been with every girl in this town.
You've been dealin' in dirt.
Just wallowin' in dirt, yes you have.

But I look at love as a two-way street.
You get the good with the bad,
You take the bitter with the sweet.
Oh, you're precious, honey.
You're so precious, baby.
Precious baby, you're mine.

Oooh-oooh, na, na, na, na, yeah, baby.
Oooh-oooh, na, na, na, na, yeah, baby.
Mmm... what people say about ya
Sure ain't no fun
But what they don't know about ya,
You're like two men wrapped up in one.
We've got our life, so let's make it.
It's our chance, so come on, baby, let's take it.
Oh, you're precious, baby.
You're so precious precious.
Precious baby, you're mine.

Yes, honey precious.
You're precious, baby.
Precious baby, you're mine.
Ooh, you're precious, baby, yeah precious.
You're so precious, yes, you are precious.
Precious baby, you're mine.
Oooh, you're precious, honey precious.
Oooh, you're precious, baby precious.
Precious baby, you're mine.

Please release me, let me go
I don't love you anymore
To live together is a sin
So release me and let me love again

I have found a new love dear
And I'll always want him near
His lips are warm while yours are cold
So release me my darling let me go

Oh, please release me, let me go
I don't love you anymore
To live together is a sin
So release me and let me love again

The Robins
Smokey Joe's Cafe

One day while I was eating beans at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Just sittin' diggin' all the scenes at Smokey Joe's Cafe
A chick came walkin' through the door
That I had never seen before
At least I never saw her down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
And I started shakin' when she sat right down next to me.

Her knees were almost touching mine at Smokey Joe's Cafe
A chill was runnin' down my spine at Smokey Joe's Cafe
I could smell her sweet perfume
She smiled at me, my heart went boom
Then everybody in the room at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Said "Man be careful, that chick belongs to Smokey Joe."

From behind the counter, I saw a man
A chef's hat on his head and a knife in his hand
He grabbed me by my collar and began to shout
"You better eat up all your beans, boy, and clear right on out!"

I know I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's Cafe
And so we'll never meet again at Smokey Joe's Cafe
I'd rather eat my chili beans
At Jim's or Jack's or John's or Gene's
Then take my chances eating down at Smokey Joe's Cafe,
Why risk my life when that Smokey Joe's a crazy fool.

Waah-aah, at Smokey Joe's Cafe..
