POPULAR SONGS THAT WILL LIVE FOREVER,
VOLUME FIVE: ROCK & ROLL
Hey Pretty Baby
Hey pretty baby,
don’t you wanna dance?
Hey pretty baby
won’t you take a chance?
I’ve been waiting all night long
and this is my favorite song
Hey pretty baby
don’t you wanna dance?
Hey pretty baby
don’t you wanna dance?
Hey pretty baby
find some true romance?
I’ve been waiting all night long
just to hear my favorite song
hey pretty baby
don’t you wanna dance?
I’ve been waiting all night long
don’t know if I can do go on
Hard To Believe
The stars up on my ceiling
can count the evenings
that I dream of you
but I don’t know just what
I’m gonna do
I try to fight the feeling
I think I’ll leave but
when I think of you
I don’t know just where
I’m going to
It’s so hard to tell
if you’re dreaming
when you never learned
how to sleep
It’s getting hard to believe
nobody sees the way
I feel for you
and sometimes I know
you feel it, too
Some nights it seems so easy
to call you up and tell you
I love you
but I don’t know just what
I’m gonna do
I don’t like girls
who look like you
I don’t like Christmas
I don’t like June
I don’t like daydreams
that end too soon
I don’t like girls
who look like you
I don’t like places
we used to go
I don’t like raindrops
I don’t like snow
I don’t like memories
that won’t let me go
I don’t like places
we used to go
And now you’re stuck inside
a Texas brid
you had a shot at greatness
and soon he’ll know you lied
you’d rather be with me
You said it’s time
to change the plan
you said you want him
to be your man
you said you’re dying
to hold my hand
you said you loved me
you don’t give a damn
Walk Around
I just want to walk
around your block
until this feeling stops
until all your broken clocks
get the nerve to call the cops
I just want to lie here in your yard
until things aren’t so hard
until all these shooting stars
finally tell us who we are
I just want to sit outside your door
the way I did before
when you knew what it was for
don’t you love me anymore?
Your brother said
that the sky was gonna fall
your father said
that he’d seen it all
your mother said
I should wait out in the hall
but when you’re gone
I can’t hear at all
They try to tell me that you’re gone
but endless love goes on and on
Your best friend said
that I could call anytime
your teacher said
go ahead and cry
your sister said
that you couldn’t tell a lie
but when you’re gone
I just wanna die
Since You Been Gone
Since you been gone
I’m feeling fine again
I can tell time again
and I’m glad that you won’t be coming home
I’m feeling fine again
I know my mind again
I see the light again
Angel
Everybody wants you
to brighten their night
and sometimes you think you’d
like to try
You’re a kind of angel
sent down from the sky
so that God could teach us
how to cry
Someday everything will be just
how you want it
Everybody wants you
to stay the night
but nobody sees how
hard you try
Keep your head up, angel
just walk on by
someday everybody’s gonna die
May your road be smooth
may it rise to meet you
May your sky be blue
the sun rise to greet you
May your love be true
and the brothers you choose
Your sorrows be few
and your troubles teach you
When the waters rise
may they never reach you
The Lord go with you
may He guide and keep you
Back Stairs
Come on up the back stairs, dearwhen you’re tired of
all the other girls
I will be here
listening to the records
that you gave me
Come on up the back stairs, dear
when you’re tired of
this whole crazy world
I will be here
looking at the
pictures that you made me
I’ll leave the light on for you
You Seem Like Brighter Days To MeYou seem like brighter days to me
like love up on the silver screen
like all the thing I wish I’d seen
you seem like brighter days to me
You seem like brighter days to me
you seem like a lucky streak
you seem like tinfoil in my beak
you seem like brighter days to me
It’s been so long
since my baby walked out
and the night got so dark
It’s been so long
since I felt like singing my song
You seem like brighter days to me
you seem like falling back to sleep
you seem like things you get to keep
you seem like brighter days to me
You seem like brighter days to me
days when you can do anything
days when you don’t care what it means
you seem like brighter days to me
You seem brighter
