She disappeared
You can't remember where she said she was going to
But you know that she's gone 'cause she left you a song
That you don't want to sing

[gracious]

Without doubt it is true
She was the only love you knew
Now she's gone it fades away
Like Spit in the Rain

And you can try to find her
But you'll be looking in vain
Because love disappears like spit in the rain.

[jfc]

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know
That when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away

[venuspop]

Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

[gracious]

You don't know what the sound is darlin'
That's the sound of my tears fallin'
Or is it the rain?

You don't know how to play this game
And you cheat and you lie
You make me want to cry
You make me want to cry

You don't even know how to say goodbye

[venuspop]

All your life you’ve waited for love to come and stay
And now that I have found you must not slip away
I know its hard believing the words you heard before
But darling you must trust them just once more

Cause baby goodbye doesn’t mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn’t mean we’ll never be together again
If you wake up and I’m not there I won’t be long away
Cause’ the things you do my goodbye girl will bring me back to you

[Dolores]

You say you gotta go and find yourself
You say that you're becoming someone else
Don't recognize the face in the mirror looking back at you
You say you're leaving as you look away
I know there's really nothing left to say
Just know I'm here whenever you need me, I will wait for you

So I'll let you go, I'll set you free
And when you've seen what you need to see
When you find you...come back to me

[venuspop]

You were sitting at the coffee table
where you're reading Kierkegaard
Minutes later, you proceeded to say
something that almost broke my heart

You said, "Darling, I am tired of livin' my routined life.
There's so much in the world that i'd like
to soak up with my eyes."
Well, baby i never did stop you from going out to explore
We can do it all together from the colds of the poles
to the tropics of Borneo

Ba da da ba da...

Let's pack our bags
and lie on the easy stream
feel the water on our backs
where we can carry on dreamin'
where we can finally
be where we'd like to be
Darlin', just you and me

Just you and me...

So Darlin', what do you say?
Does that sound like a plan to you?
We can build our own little world
where no one else can come through
We can live in huts made out of grass
we can greet father time as he walks pass
we can press our feet into the dirt
a little mud, no, it wouldn't hurt

Ba da da ba da ba...

Let's pack our bags
and lie on the easy stream
feel the water on our backs
where we can carry on dreamin'
where we can finally
be where we'd like to be
Darlin', just you and me

Just you and me..

[gracious]

If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
Wanna lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold on to your possession
Don't even think about me.

If you love somebody, set them free

[Dion]

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now.
And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
You know feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Gracious McGee.

[Dolores]

Can't you see that I'm free?
Like a bird in the sky,
Gonna watch you from a distance
Gotta watch you from way up high
Can't you see I'm in love?
That's where i learned to fly
I was young and it was easier

And now it's just a lie
And now it's just a lie
And now it's just a lie
And now it's just a lie

It's one step
It's two steps
It's three steps
Before you trip and fall

[ness2361]

It's like jumpin
It's like leapin
It's like walkin on the ceilin
It's like floatin
It's like flyin through the air
It's like soarin
It's like glidin
It's a rocket ship you're ridin
It's a feelin that can take you anywhere

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

There was passion
There was laughter
The first mornin after
I just couldn't get my feet to touch the ground
Every time we were together
We talked about forever
I was certain it was Heaven we had found

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

But you can't live your life
Walkin in the clouds
Sooner or later
You have to come down

It's like a knife
Through the heart
And it all comes apart
It's like someone takes a pin to your balloon
It's a hole
It's a cave
It's kinda like a grave
When he tells you that he's found somebody new

And why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Now I know

Ooh, why they call it falling
Why they call it falling
Now I know


(Why They Call it Falling - Lee Ann Womack)

We've got all night
Let's take our time
Tell me your secrets
I'll tell you mine
When it makes us feel better
Call it love

You say you won't
I say you will
You make me crazy
But I want you still
When it makes us feel better
Call it love

Do we tell the truth
Or do we live a lie
Is the feeling good
Is that what makes you cry
When you say those words
Look me in the eye
Tell me why you call it love

[Bluesea]

I'm not asking "forever" from you
I'm just asking to be held for awhile
In a timeless search for love that might work

I don't care who's right or wrong
Let the devil take tomorrow cuz
Tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone
and tomorrow's out of sight.
All I'm taking is your time.
Help me make it through the night.



(Kris Kristofferson wrote and recorded it - and let others do it, too.)

The saddest song you've ever heard
The most you said with just one word
The loneliest prayer you ever prayed
The truest vow you ever made
What makes you laugh, what makes you cry
What makes you mad, what gets you by
Your highest high, your lowest low
These are the things I want to know.

[ness2361]

(If you don't know me by now)
You will never, never, never know me...

All the things that we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now baby, I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothin'
To upset our happy home
(Ooooooh) Oh, don't get so excited
When I come home a little late at night
'Cause we only act like children
When we argue fuss and fight...

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why can't you see
What you're doin' to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds (Suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?

Here we go again
Askin' where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm cryin' (Yes, I'm cryin')

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds (Suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

A friend of mine, he said to me a skinny girl is a misery
I shook my head because I knew he couldn’t be right
But that’s when I thought back to just last night

When I got home, it was maybe a little late.
There was ne're a crumb or ne're a plate
There was no martini, no glass of grape.
But it was there I sought to contemplate.

Some things, my baby don’t tolerate
my baby don’t tolerate
my baby don’t tolerate
from me.

I said hello honey, how have you been.
She said what could you possibly have been doin’ until half past then.
And not bein completely unsensitive I could tell my ship had run a ground,
cause when I puckered up you know she, puckered down.

Some things, my baby don’t tolerate



(Lyle Lovett - My Baby Don't Tolerate)

[Dolores]

Well let's talk it over baby before we start
I heard about the way you do your part
Don't lie to me don't you lie to me
Don't you make me mad I'll get evil as a
man can be

Well all kinds of people that I just can't
stand
That's a lying woman and a cheating man
Don't lie to me don't you lie to me
Don't you make me mad I'll get evil as a
man can be

[jfc]

Your cheatin' heart,
Will make you weep,
You'll cry and cry,
And try to sleep,
But sleep won't come,
The whole night through,
Your cheatin heart, will tell on you...

When tears come down,
Like falling rain,
You'll toss around,
And call my name,
You'll walk the floor,
The way I do,
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you...

Your cheatin' heart,
Will pine some day,
And crave the love,
You threw away,
The time will come,
When you'll be blue,
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you...

When tears come down,
Like falling rain,
You'll toss around,
And call my name,
You'll walk the floor,
The way I do,
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you...

Sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
He said he had to work so I went to the show alone
They turned down the lights and turned the projector on
And just as the news of the world started to begin
I saw my darlin' and my best friend walk in
Though I was sittin' there they didn't see
And so they sat right down in front of me
When he kissed her lips I almost died
And in the middle of the color cartoon I started to cry.
Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
And so I got up and slowly walked on home
And mama saw the tears and said “what's wrong?”
And so to keep from telling her a lie
I just said “sa-a-a-d movies make me cry”
Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Sa-a-a-d movies make me cry-y-y

Dead puppies
Dead puppies
Dead puppies aren't much fun

They don't come when you call
They don't chase squirrels at all
Dead puppies aren't much fun

My puppy died late last fall
He's still rotting in the hall
Dead puppies aren't much fun, no no no
Mom says puppy's days are through
She's going to throw him in the stew
Dead puppies aren't much fun

[Dolores]

Dreams are nothing more than wishes
and a wish is just a dream
you wish to come true, woo woo

If only I could have a puppy
I'd call myself so very lucky
just to have some company
to share a cup of tea with me

[gracious]

Picture me upon your knee
With tea for two and two for tea
Just me for you and you for me alone

Nobody near us to see us or hear us
No friends or relations on weekend vacations
We won't have it known dear
That we own a telephone dear
