* FAREWELL PARTY
When the last breath of life is gone from my body
And my lips are as cold as the sea
When my friends gather round for my farewell party
Won't you pretend you love me.
There will be flowers from those who cry when I'm gone and leave you in this world alone
I know you'll have fun at my farewell party
I know you'll be glad when I'm gone.
Don't be mad at me for wanting to keep you
'Till my life on this old world is through
You'll be free at the end of my farewell party
But I'll go away loving you.
There will be flowers from those who cry when I'm gone and leave you in this world alone
I know you'll have fun at my farewell party
I know you'll be glad when I'm gone
Oh, I know you'll be glad when I'm gone.
(Lawton Williams) Gene Watson, Jean Shepard...

* NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW
No one will ever know my heart is breaking
Although a million teardrops start to flow
I'll cry myself to sleep and wake up smiling
I'll miss you but no one will ever know.
I'll tell them we grew tired of each other
And realised our dreams could never be
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me.
No one will ever know how much I'm pining
Each time the past comes back to haunt me so
No one will ever see the tears I'm hiding
You've hurt me but no one will ever know.
I'll tell then I found true love with another
That I was glad the day you set me free
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me.
(M. Foree, Fred Rose) Roy Orbison, Gene Watson...
----------------------------------------------
* BABY ME BABY
Baby me, baby, you know I've had a bad day
So baby me, baby, chase my cares away
Say I'm great and I'll make it though it may not quite be true
Baby me, baby, as only you can do.
Hold me close, let those sweet lips kiss my wounds and make 'em right
Tomorrow will be better but just help me through tonight
Sweet baby, don't start cryin' or I'll start crying too
Baby me, baby, as only you can do.
Hold me close, let those sweet lips kiss my wounds and make 'em right
Tomorrow will be better but just help me through tonight
Sweet baby, don't start cryin' or I'll start crying too
Baby me, baby, as only you can do
Just baby me, baby, as only you can do.
(Harlan Howard) Gene Watson
---------------------------------------------
* TOGETHER AGAIN
Together again my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters cause we're together again.
Together again the grey skies are gone
You're back in my arms right where you belong
The love that we knew is living again
And nothing else matters cause we're together again.
Together again my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The love that we knew is living again
And nothing else matters cause we're together again
No nothing else matters cause we're together again.
(Buck Owens) Emmylou Harris

* BLACKHAWK
Well I work the double shift
In a bookstore on St. Clair
While he pushed the burning ingots
In Dofasco stinking air
Where the truth bites and stings
I remember just what we were
As the noon bell rings for
Blackhawk and the white winged dove.
Hold on to your aching heart
I'll wipe the liquor from your lips
A small town hero never dies
He fades a bit and then he slips
Down into the blast furnace
In the heat of the open hearth
And at the punch clock he remembers
Blackhawk and the white winged dove.
I remember your leather boots
Pointing up into the sky
We fell down to our knees
Over there where the grass grew high
Love hunters in the night
Our faces turned into the wind
Blackhawk where are you know
Blackhawk and the white winged dove
We were Blackhawk where are you know
We were Blackhawk where are you know.
Do you still have the ring I gave you
On the banks of Lake Bear
Where I felt certain that I knew you
My cool and distant debonair
Now we drink at Liberty Station
Another cup of muscatel
Wrapped in the strong arms of the Union
Raisin' kids from raisin' hell.
(Daniel Lanois) Emmylou Harris------------------------------------
* IN THE REAL WORLD
In dreams we do so many things
We set aside the rules we know
And fly the world so high
In great and shining rings.
If only we could always live in dreams
If only we could make of life
What, in dreams, it seems.
But in the real world
We must say real goodbyes
No matter if the love will live
It will never die.
In the real world
There are things that we can't change
And endings come to us
In ways that we can't rearrange.
I love you, and you love me
But sometimes we must let it be
In the real world
In the real world.
When we were dreaming heart to heart
I wish that we had stayed right there
For when the dreamers do awake
The dreams do disappear.
If only we could always live in dreams
If only we could make of life
what, in dreams, it seems.
But in the real world
We must say real goodbyes
No matter if the love will live
It will never die.
In the real world
There are things that we can't change
And endings come to us
In ways that we can't rearrange.
I love you, and you love me
But sometimes we must let it be
In the real world
In the real world.
(Jennings/Kerr) Roy Orbison

* RUNNING SCARED
Just runnin’ scared each place we go
So afraid that he might show
Yeah, runnin’ scared, what would I do
If he came back and wanted you.
Just runnin’ scared, feelin’ low
Runnin’ scared, you love him so
Just runnin’ scared, afraid to lose
If he came back which one would you choose.
Then all at once he was standing there
So sure of himself, his head in the air
My heart was breaking, which one would it be
You turned around and walked away with me.
(Roy Orbison,Joe Melson) Roy Orbison
-----------------------------------
* WALK ON
Walk on
If you should meet
Walk on
On down the street.
Walk on
Don't even look
Walk on
Close up the book.
We don't want the world to see us
Like we are
We should never have even gone this far.
Quickly brush away that teardrop
Walk away darling
Don't stop
Don't look back for me, baby,
Walk on.
Walk on
Don't turn around
Walk on
To higher ground.
Take the love we shared together
Keep it in your heart forever
Don't forget me
Oh baby walk on.
If you ever loved me, baby,
Walk on.
(Roy Orbison/Bill Dees) Roy Orbison

* I STILL BELIEVE IN FAIRY TALES
I believe in fairy tales
Where knights in shinin' armour come along
You were my knight in shining armour
And you stole my heart with a song.
You gave me a castle and a princess
And I was the world's proudest queen
But then came the dragon in the bottle
And I watched as it slowly slayed the king.
And we all live happy never after
For we just put the castle up for sale
But I guess that I will always be a dreamer
'Cause I still believe in fairy tales.
Yes, I still believe in fairy tales...
