"Unchained Melody"

Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch, a long lonely time
And time goes by, so slowly and time can do so much
Are you, still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the waiting arms of the sea
Lonely rivers cry, wait for me, wait for me
To the open arms, wait for me

My love, my darling, I've hungered for your kiss
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God, speed your love, to me

"If You Love Me (Let Me Know)"

You came when I was happy in your sunshine
I grew to love you more each passing day
Before too long I'd filled my world around you
Yeah and I prayed you loved enough of me to stay

If you love me let me know
If you don't let me go
I can't take another minute of the day without you near
If you love me let it be
If you don't set me free
Take the chains away that keep me loving you

The arms that open wide to hold me closer
The hands that run their fingers through my hair
The smile that says hello it's good to see you
Any time I turn around and find you there

It's this and so much more that makes me love you
What else can I do to make you see
You know you'll have whatever's mine to give you
Yeah but a love affair for one it can never be

If you love me let me know
If you don't let me go
I can't take another minute of the day without you near
If you love me let it be
If you don't set me free
Take the chains away that keep me loving you

Take the chains away that keep me loving you

"Hurt"

I'm so hurt to think that you lied to me

I'm hurt way down deep inside of me

You said our love was true and we'll never, never part

Now you've got someone new and it breaks my heart

I'm hurt, much more than you'll ever know

Yes darling, I'm so hurt because I still love you so

But even though you hurt me like nobody else could ever do

I would never ever hurt you, oh you, no you

"Never Again"

I hope I never ever love anyone this much again

I can't take it anymore

I've been hurt before

Never ever quite like this time

What will become of me when you're no longer here?

If I can't stop loving you

What am I to do?

You'll be free but where will I be?

Now that I'm used to love, how can I stand alone?

Now that love has come and gone

Like the ending of a song

A song my lonely heart keeps singing

Where do I go from here? Will I get over you?

If so, next time I'll be smart

I'll know before I start

A heart that don't care, don't get broken

I hope I never ever love anyone this much again

Never ever, never again, never again

"Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"

In the twilight glow I see her

Blue eyes crying in the rain

When we kissed goodbye and parted

I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember

Only memories remain

Through the ages I remember

Blue eyes crying in the rain

Someday when we meet up yonder

We'll stroll hand in hand again

In a land that knows no parting

Blue eyes crying in the rain

Blue eyes crying in the rain

Blue eyes crying in the rain

Blue eyes crying in the rain

Blue eyes crying in the rain

Blue eyes crying in the rain

"Danny Boy"

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

From glen to glen and down the mountain side

The summer's gone and all the roses dying

'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bye

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so

But if he come and all the roses dying

And I am dead, as dead I well may be

He'll come here and find the place where I am lying

And kneel and say an ava there for me

And I shall feel, oh soft you tread above me

And then my grave will richer, sweeter be

For you will bend and tell me that you love me

And I shall rest in peace until you come to me

"The Last Farewell"

There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor

Tomorrow forOld England she sails

Far away from your land of endless sunshine

To my land full of rainy skies and gales

And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow

Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell

For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly

More dearly than the spoken word can tell

For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly

More dearly than the spoken word can tell

I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing

And the taste of war I know so very well

Even now I see that foreign flag a-raising

Their guns on fire as we sail into Hell

I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow

But how bitter will be this last farewell

For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly

More dearly than the spoken word can tell

For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly

More dearly than the spoken word can tell

Though death and darkness gather all about me

And my ship be torn apart upon the seas

I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands

And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee

And should I return safe home again to England

I shall watch the English mist roll through the Dale

For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly

More dearly than the spoken word can tell

For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly

More dearly than the spoken word can tell

"For The Heart"

Had a dream about you baby, had a dream about me and you

Had a dream and woke up crying

Well I can roll but I just can't rock

And the time's going by, tick-tock

For the heart, I just can't love no-one but you

Well I'm high and dry and lonely, I'm as lonely as can be

And I stare out of my window

Well I can play but I just can't win

And the weather's looking dim

For the heart I just can't love no-one but you

For the heart

For the heart

For the heart I just can't love no-one but you

For the heart

For the heart

For the heart I just can't love no-one but you

Had a dream about you baby, had a dream about me and you

Had a dream and woke up crying

Well I can roll but I just can't rock

And the time's going by, tick-tock

For the heart, I just can't love no-one but you

For the heart

For the heart

For the heart I just can't love no-one but you

For the heart

For the heart

For the heart I just can't love no-one but you

Well, for the heart

For the heart

For the heart I just can't love no-one but you

Yes, for the heart

For the heart

For the heart I just can't love no-one but you

"Bitter They Are, Harder They Fall"

I told her to leave me alone

That's what she's done

Just what she's done

And a house built for two, ain't a home

When it's lived in by one, one lonely one

And I can no longer hear footsteps

Come right down the hall

Here come the teardrops

Bitter they are, harder they fall

She caught me lying

Then she caught a train

And I caught a fever

Walking home in the rain, oh yeah

But it's over and I'm done

She left me once and for all

Here come the teardrops

Bitter they are, harder they fall

Here come the teardrops

Bitter they are, harder they fall

"Solitaire"

There was a man, a lonely man

Who lost his love through his indifference

A heart that cared that went unshared

Until it died within his silence

And Solitaire is the only game in town

And every road that takes him, takes him down

While life goes on around him everywhere

He's playing Solitaire

And keeping to himself begins to deal

And still the King of Hearts is well concealed

Another losing game comes to an end

And deals them out again

A little hope goes up in smoke

Just how it goes, goes without saying

There was a man, a lonely man

Who would command the hand he's playing

And Solitaire is the only game in town

And every road that takes him, takes him down

While life goes on around him everywhere

He's playing Solitaire

And keeping to himself, begins to deal

And still the King of Hearts is well concealed

Another losing game comes to an end

And deals them out again

And Solitaire is the only game in town

And every road that takes him, takes him down

Life goes on around him everywhere

He's playing Solitaire

"Love Coming Down"

I remember how your eyes used to light up

Over promises that I made

But for the first time in my life

I know now how it feels to be afraid

I don't know what I'd do if you go away

This would sure be one lonely old town

For a man's so busy going up in the world

That he couldn't see love coming down

Love coming down

I remember all the times you told me

Love's all that matters to you

And looking back now, wondering how I believed

I had things more important to do

I can see how I must have looked to you

Like some fool on a merry-go-round

And that a man's so busy going up in the world

That he couldn't see love going down

Love going down

Can't you see how everything I've learned

Would just be wasted if you leave me

If you just give one more try

I swear I'll always be here when you need me

If you can find it in your heart to forgive me

I'll try to keep both my feet on the ground

But if a man's so busy going up in the world

That he couldn't see love coming down

Love coming down

"I'll Never Fall In Love Again"

I've been in love so many times

I thought I knew the score

Now you've treated me so wrong

I can't take any more

And it looks like I'm never gonna fall in love again

Fall in love, I'm never gonna fall in love

I mean it, I mean it, fall in love again

I gave my heart so easily, cast aside my pride

When I saw you in his arms baby

I broke up and cried

And it looks like I'm never gonna fall in love again

That's what I'm sayin' Fall in love, No, I'm never gonna fall in love

Please don't make me fall in love again

That's why I, no, I'm never gonna fall in love

Please don't make me, don't make me, fall in love again
