From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our pathways awhile
CHORUS:
Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true
I've been thinking a long time, my darling
Of the sweet words you never would say
Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish
For they say you are gong away
Do you think of the valley you're leaving
O how lonely and how dreary it will be
And do you think of the kind hearts you're breaking
And the pain you are causing to me
CHORUS
They will bury me where you have wandered
Near the hills where the daffodils grow
When you're gone from the Red River Valley
For I can't live without you I know
Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true

Is It True?
How come you love him when he
Takes you for a fool
He’s only lookin’ for a good time
How can he love you when he
Treats you mean and cruel
He’s not the best thing that you could find
Is it true?
I can’t believe it
Is it true?
I just can’t see it
Is it true?
Is that you?
When we were young, we didn’t really have a care
You were hung up, I had a good line
I never knew it then but, man, I was in love
How could I know it was the right time?
Is it true?
You’ve lost that feelin’?
Is is true?
You might be leavin’?
Is it true?
Don’t wanna find out
Yes, I was so wrong
For leading you on
There wasn’t much I could do
I was a wild one, but I can change some
If that’s important to you
Is it true- you’ve lost that feelin’?
Is it true- you might be leavin’?
Is it true?
Is it true?
She’s really leavin’
She’s really leavin’

Oh, let me go let me go let me go lover
Let me be set me free from your spell
You made me weak cut me deep I can't sleep lover
I was cursed from the first day I fell.
Oh, you don't want me but you want me to go on wanting you
How I pray that you will say that we're through
Oh, turn me loose what's the use let me go lover
Let me go let me go let me go.
Oh, you don't want me but you want me to go on wanting you
How I pray that you will say that we're through
Oh, turn me loose what's the use let me go lover
Let me go let me go let me go...

Like no other can.
I wanna be your man,
I wanna be your man.

Oh, how you tried to cut me down to size
Tellin' dirty lies to my friends
But my own father said "Give her up, don't bother
The world isn't comin' to an end"
Walk like a man, talk like a man
Walk like a man my son
No woman's worth crawlin' on the earth
So walk like a man, my son
Bye bye baby, I don't-a mean maybe
Gonna get along somehow
Soon you'll be cryin' on account of all your lyin'
Oh yeah, just look who's laughin' now
Walk like a man, fast as I can
Walk like a man from you
I'll tell the world "forget about it, girl"
And walk like a man from you
--------------
sorry about this peeps

In the cool of the evening
when ev'rything is gettin' kind of groovy,
I call you up and ask you if you want to go
and meet and see a movie.
First you say no, you've got some plans for the night,
And then you stop, and say, "All right."
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone
All alone
Why, oh
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
So forever can begin
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Then something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
And you are not alone
Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone

I am all alone here,
there is no one here beside me,
all my problems they are gone,
there is no one to deride me,
but you gotta have friends,
the feeling is oh so strong,
you gotta have friends, to make your day last long
I had some friends but they're gone,
something came and took them away,
from the dust to the dawn,
here is where I'll stay
---------------
This song makes me laugh...my nephew (12 at the time) was told off by his parents as I walked down the hallway he was singing this song and taking the mickey out of his parents. He's 20 now and hasn't change ;D

I really liked this song very much when it first came out ,..hundreds of yrs ago it was so neat to listen to it again!!! thanks
if this world is wearing thin
and you're thinking of escape
i'll go anywhere with you
just wrap me up in chains
but if you try to go out alone
don't think i'll understand
stay with me
stay with me
in the silence of your room
in the darkness of your dreams
you must only think of me
there can be no in-betweens
when your pride is on the floor
i'll make you beg for more
stay with me
stay with me
you'd better hope and pray
that you make it safe
back to your own world
you'd better hope and pray
that you wake one day
in your own world
'cuz when you sleep at night
they don't hear your cries
in your own world
only time will tell
if you can break the spell
back in your own world
stay with me
stay with me

Can't remember if we've had this one or not, but ........ ;D
Oh come along with me to my little corner of the world
And dream a little dream in my little corner of the world
Tonight my love we'll share a sweet embrace
You'll soon forget there's any other place
And if you'd care to stay in my little corner of the world
Then we can hide away in my little corner of the world
I always knew I'd find someone like you so welcome to my little corner of the world
(Oh come along with me) to my little corner of the world
(And dream a little dream) in my little corner of the world
And if you'd care to stay...

The Chantels
(Stay)
A-a-a-a-ah, just a little bit longer
(Please)
Please, please, please, please
Tell me you're going to
Now, how your daddy don't mind
And your mommy don't mind
If we have another dance
Yeah, just one more
One more time
Oh, won't you stay
Just a little bit longer
Please let me hear
You say that you will
Say you will
Won't you press your sweet lips
To mine
Won't you say you love me
All of the time
(Stay)
Just a little bit longer
(Please)
Please, please, please, please
Tell me you're going to
Come on, come on, come on and ... yey-yey-yeh
Come on, come on, come on and stay-yey-yey-yeh
Come on, come on, come on and stay, woops!
Come on, come on, come on...

An old T. Rex song .. with very weird lyrics ;D
Well you're dirty and sweet
Clad in black don't look back and I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well you're slim and you're weak
You've got the teeth of the hydra upon you
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Well you're built like a car
You've got a hub cap diamond star halo
You're built like a car, oh yeah
Well you're an untamed youth
That's the truth with your cloak full of eagles
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on - oh
Well you're windy and wild
You've got the blues in your shoes and your stockings
You're windy and wild, oh yeah
Well you're built like a car
You've got a hub cap diamond star halo
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl

I met a traveller from an antique land who said
two vast and trunkless legs of stone
stand in the desert...
near them, on the stand, half sunk, a shattered visage lies
whose frwon and wrinkled lip
and sneer of cold command
tell that its sculptor well those passions read
which yet survive stamped on these lifeless things
the hand that mocked them
and the heart that fed
and on the pedestal these words appear:
"my name is Ozymandias, king of kings
look on my works ye mighty and despair"
nothing besides remains
round the decay of that colossal wreck
boundless and bare
the lone and level sands stretch far away

A bit on Donny O
Go away, little girl
Go away, little girl
I'm not supposed to be alone with you
I know that your lips are sweet
But our lips must never meet
I belong to someone else
And I must be true
Oh, go away, little girl
Go away, little girl
It's hurtin' me more each minute that you delay
When you are near me like this
You're much too hard to resist
So, go away, little girl, before I beg you to stay
Go away
Please don't stay
It'll never work out
When you are near me like this
You're much too hard to resist
So, go away, little girl
Call it a day, little girl
Oh, please, go away, little girl
Before I beg you to stay
Go away

Lots of 'stays' in this one!!
your lies are bleeding through your teeth
your eyes, the only one thing in me
your promises never really meant a thing
but they float from your lips so easily
stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
stay, stay, stay, stay away
stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
stay, stay, stay, stay away, away
its my best at your heart
the glass that rips your word apart
is it the guilt that keeps you up at night when your in bed?
well you can sleep sound honey, i'll write you a check
stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
stay, stay, stay, stay away
stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
stay, stay, stay, stay away, away
i never was too good with goodbyes
you made it easy when your glee presided
with all the evil that you've provided
you still put the "good" in "goodbye"
in goodbye, in goodbye
stay away, stay, stay, stay away from me
stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me

Me and Mrs.Jones
We got a thing goin'on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
We meet every day at the same cafe
Six-thirty and no one knows she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the juke box plays our favorite songs
Me and Mrs.Jones
We got a thing goin'on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
We gotta be extra careful
That do we don't build our hopes up too high
Because she's got her own obligations
And so, and so, do I
Me and Mrs.Jones
We got a thing goin'on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
Well, it's time for us to be leaving
It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
Now she'll go her way snd I'll go mine
Tomorrow we'll meet
The same pklace, the same time
Me and Mrs.Jones
We got a thing goin'on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now

Now is the hour ...
This is the hour, for us to say goodbye.
Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea.
Do not forget, but, remember me.
When you return, you'll find me waiting here.
I love you dear, but duty calls you now
How I will miss you, when far, far away.
God guard you dear, and guide you safely home,
When you return, you'll find me waiting here.
Kua tae mai te wa, he we he nga mo tatou
E tata koe ka matangi, ki runga o moana nui
Kei wareware ahau e koe kia a tou maha ra
Ko konei au tari ai, kia hoki mai koe a taihoa
E tangi ra e kare, kua tau a matariki
Kai ake te aroha i roto, ana ma koe ki tawhiti.
Mate-ariki koe e kawa, kia tae ki tou Tauranga
Ko konei au tari ai, kia hoki mai koe a taihoa.

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right

Right Said Fred (Cup of Tea)
"Right," said Fred, "Both of us together
One on each end and steady as we go."
Tried to shift it, couldn't even lift it
We was getting nowhere
And so we had a cuppa tea and
"Right," said Fred, "Give a shout for Charlie."
Up comes Charlie from the floor below.
After strainin', heavin' and complainin'
We was getting nowhere
And so we had a cuppa tea.
And Charlie had a think, and he thought we ought to take off all the handles
And the things wot held the candles.
But it did no good, well I never thought it would
"All right," said Fred, "Have to take the feet off
To get them feet off wouldn't take a mo."
Took its feet off, even took the seat off
Should have got us somewhere but no!
So Fred said, "Let's have a cuppa tea."
And we said, "right-o."
"Right," said Fred, "Have to take the door off
Need more space to shift the so-and-so."
Had bad twinges taking off the hinges
And it got us nowhere
And so we had a cuppa tea and
"Right," said Fred, " Have to take the wall down,
That there wall is gonna have to go."
Took the wall down, even with it all down
We was getting nowhere
And so we had a cuppa tea.
And Charlie had a think, and he said, "Look, Fred,
I get a sort of feelin'
If we remove the ceilin'
With a rope or two we could drop the blighter through."
"All right," said Fred, climbing up a ladder
With his crowbar gave a mighty blow.
Was he in trouble, half a ton of rubble landed on the top of his dome.
So Charlie and me had another cuppa tea
And then we went home.
(I said to Charlie, "We'll just have to leave it
Standing on the landing, that's all
Trouble with Fred is, he's too hasty
Never get nowhere if you're too hasty.")
And don't ask me where that one came from!! A deeply buried memory ;D

gave up thinking so googled
You said you'd marry me if I was 23
But I'm one that you can't see if I'm only 18
Tell me who made these rules
Obviously not you
Who are you answering to?
Oh, Jenny don't be hasty
No, don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leaving just upsets me
I'll be around again to see the other men
They're more adequate in the age department
I did not think you cared.
There'd be no problems here
But now you're looking at me like you're disgusted
Then I'm definitely waiting for you to smile and change your mind
Then I'll say I'm sorry and I'll wrap my arms 'round your body
I really hope that you forgive in a hurry
And don't just ask me to leave
Oh, Jenny don't be hasty
Don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leaving just upsets me
Oh, Jenny you are crazy!
First I'm perfect, then I'm lazy
And I was calling you my baby
Now it sounds like you just left me.
And it kills me!
Already had a lot of 'me' lol
