A bold young farmer courted me
He stole my heart and my liberty
He stole my heart without free goodwill
And I must confess that I love him still

I wish, I wish but it?s all in vain
I wish I was a maid again
But a maid again I never can be

Well, I got me some money
And a fine place to stay
Got a car I can drive
I ride around everyday

Ain't doing too bad
Ain't doing too bad at all
I ain't doing too bad baby

in't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
and she's always gone too long
anytime she goes away.

Wonder, this time where she's gone.
Wonder if she's gonna stay.

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone.
It's not warm when he's away.
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's always gone too long anytime he goes away.

Wonder this time where he's gone,
Wonder how long he's gonna to stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone

Today has been a special day
An anniversary, a request
That you play your piano
As the evening sun slowly sets

Chorus:- I never thought I'd get this old dear
Never had a reason to live so long
And the Lord's been like my shadow

Autumn leaves

Осенние листья
The falling leaves drift by my window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hand I used to hold

Artist: Eva Cassidy
English Lyrics by Johnny Mercer and Music by Joseph Kosma

The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold

Blue skies smiling on me
Nothing but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singing a song
Nothing but blue skies from now on

I never saw the sun shining so bright
When you're in love everything's right
Watching all the days hurrying by

Bridge Over Troubled Water

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
Five long years I thought you were my man
But I found out I'm just a link in your chain
You got me where you want me
I ain't nothing but your fool
You treated me mean oh you treated me cruel
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools

Heaven, I'm in heavenand my heart beats
so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness
I seek
When we're out together dancing
cheek to cheek

Oh, heaven, I'm in heaven

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 flowers dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go, and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
I've been out here for so very long
I've lost all my direction
Baby, when you came my way
I thought I had found my protection

It's Sunday morning
I can feel the side effects
You shake out your body
And you wake up what's left
Spent too much money last night
I had too much to drink
Spending too much time with myself
And I don't know what to think

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley

My man don't love me
He treats me so mean
My man don't love me
He treats me so mean
Well he's the lowest man
That I've ever seen

He wears high draped pants

Open your eyes
I’m not far away
It won’t be too much longer
Till I’m in your arms again
Oh to be with you
To be with you forever

When we’re apart

Them that's got shall get

Them that's not shall lose

So the bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, papa may have
But god bless the child that's got his own

Let me tell you 'bout a boy I know
He's my baby and he lives next door
Every morning 'fore the sun comes up
He brings me coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know yes I know
Hallelujah I just love him so

When I call him on the telephone

Let me tell you 'bout a boy I know
He's my baby and he lives next door
And every morning when the sun comes up
He brings me coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know
Yes I know
Hallelujah, I just love him so

Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them goodness knows
My honeysuckle rose

Fly was dropping side when you're passing by
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter goodness knows

Midnights in Winter
The glowing fire
Lights up your face in orange and gold.
I see your sweet smile
Shine through the darkness
It's line is etched in my memory.

So I'd know you by heart.

When I was single, Lord I dressed so fine
Now that I'm married, Lord, I go ragged all the time
Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again

Got the dishes to wash and the spring to do to
When you are married, Lord you've got it all to do
Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again

It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
Doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
Doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah
Makes no difference
If it's cool or hot
Cause you just got to give that rhythm
Everything you've got

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls.

And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets

I heard she sang a good song
I heard she had a style
And so I came to see her
And listen for a while
And there she was this young girl
A stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with her fingers

My love's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;

My love is like a melody
So sweetly play'd in tune

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I;

I need someone's hand to lead me through the night
I need someone's arms to hold and squeeze me tight
And when the night begins and until it ends
Oh baby I need your love so bad

I need someone's lips to feel next to mine
I need someone to stand up and tell me when I'm lyin'
And when the lights are low and till it's time to go

Some old hotel room in Memphis
I see the city through the rain
I'm just chasing me my time
And remembering some pain

See there once was a boy
And on the street he'd surely die
But the nightbird took him in

Oh, ooh, had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I, I would weave a magic spell
Of the rainbow design
Of rainbow design

In it, I would weave the courage
Of women giving birth

Just going home to an empty room
I never thought I'd find someone
Who'd love me true

'Cause I know true love is on the inside
It's not something you can buy
It comes from a heart that's true
(True love is one the inside)

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh

Bill and I got married following our first born
Daddy left this gas & convenience store just before he died
And I was only nineteen when I had my third baby
And sometimes I think maybe I should've left here long ago

Travellers are stopping by, check their oil and their p.s.i.
Gas up and away to fly, moving down the line
But this beat-up truck & worn out shoes always give me the blues

t's funny how the distance can make you feel close
And the things you lost are the things you want most
The weather's fine here – perfect shade of blue
I guess that's why I've been thinking of you

Chorus:-
So I call you up just to tell you why
Why I left you and say goodbye

Is time my redeemer?
Loneliness my only friend?
Just once in a lifetime
Strangers share a common end
And I like an arrow
Straight for love I went again
And you like tomorrow
Never knowing where an when

Somewhere over the rainbow- way
up high
in the land
that I heard of once
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow- skies
are blue

For you there’ll be no crying
For you the sun will be shining
‘Cause I feel that when I’m with you
It’s alright, I know it’s right

And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you

Don't make fun we've just begun
Let's not play just for today
Take it slow you'll have to go
I think we're through

I'm still not ready for good times
Don't ask me why
Never try laughter before sorrow

They call it stormy Monday but Tuesday’s just as bad
They call it stormy Monday but Tuesday’s just as bad
Wednesday is worse and Thursday’s also sad

The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play
The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church, hmm ,
That’s when I get down on my knees and pray

Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Your dad is rich and your mom’s good looking
So hush little baby baby don’t you cry

One of these mornings you’re gonna rise up singing
Then you’ll spread your wings
And you’ll take to the sky

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
You stole my money my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet

I want to know boy
Ah won't you tell me
Tell me how

I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz.
When an old friend I happened to meet.
I introduced her to my darling and while they were dancing,
My friend stole my sweetheart from me.

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz.
Now I know just how much I have lost.
Yes, I lost my little darling the night they were playing

Sell me a ticket for that airplane
I ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter

Bridge:- And I don't care how much I gotta spend
I gotta get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick
And think of you
Turning in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback to warm nights
Almost left behind
A suitcase of memories
Time after...

I found a picture of your smiling face
Bringing old memories that I had locked away
The burden of anger from a heart filled with pain
Was finally lifted and I smile at you again

Chorus:- If time is a healer
Then all hearts that break
Are put back together again

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness there inside you
Can make you feel so small

Refrain:
Wade in the Water
Wade in the Water
Children wade in the Water,God's gonna trouble the Water

Who's that young girl dressed in red
Wade in the Water
Must be the Children that Moses left

When cockleshells turn to silvery bells
Then will my love return to me
When roses bloom in the wintry snow
Then will my love return to me

Oh waly waly love be Bonnie
And bright as a jewel when it's first new
But love grows old and waxes cold

Oh do Lord oh do Lord
Oh do You remember me
Oh do Lord oh do Lord
Oh do You remember me
Do Lord oh do Lord
Oh do You remember me
Way beyond the blue

Eva Cassidy - Wayfaring Stranger

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While journeying through this world of woe;
And there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright world to which I go.

I'm going there to see my Father,

I see trees that are green red roses, too.
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I hear babies cry and I watch them grow
And they learn much more then I ever know
And I think to myself, oh, what a wonderful world.

Baby here I am by the railroad track
Waitin' for my baby, he's comin' back
Comin' back to me on the 503
Ooh and it won't be long, no it won't be long

I get so lonesome since my man's been gone
There ain't a thing worth mentioning
Nothin' goin' on and that's why I know when the whistle blows

I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him tell me where are you going
This he told me said
I'm going down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join in a rock 'n' roll band
Got to get back to the land
And get my soul free

Уеstеrdау,аll mу trоublеs sеемеd sо fаr аwау.
Nоw it lоокs аs thоugh thеу'rе hеrе tо stау.
Оh I Ьеliеvе in уеstеrdау.

Suddеnlу,I'м nоt hаlf thе маn I usеd tо Ье.

Оh уеstеrdау саме suddеnlу.

When we were oh so young
We played those silly games
Never knew about love
Would know it if it came

We swore we'd never part
Thing's would always be the same
As we got a little older

Sometimes it amazes me
How strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away

You watch my love grow like a child
Sometimes gentle and sometimes wild
Sometimes you just take my breath away

Baby we both know
The things have really changed between us

You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
It's all over now, you've changed

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley

Baby we both know
The things have really changed between us

You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
It's all over now, you've changed

I see trees, they are green, red roses, too
I watch them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world.

I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more,
