Can't Forget You

Can’t forget you, can’t forget you
You haunt me ‘cross the years
I can’t let you, can’t let you go like so many tears
Are you feeling what I’m feeling?
Do you wonder why we’re apart?
Well, I’m sorry but I’m not sorry
You belong in my heart.
And when I try to shake you
It only serves to make you harder to ignore
And on a street or lonely beach
I find you there but out of reach
And I want you more.
How did we ever say “It’s over”?
Was it you who lied or was that me?
I still love you and I’ll always love you,
That’s how it’s got to be
Ev’ry time I think it’s over and at last I can be free
In a careless moment your love comes flooding back to me
Can’t forget you, can’t forget you
You haunt me ‘cross the years
I won’t let you, won’t let you go like so many tears
Are you feeling what I’m feeling?
Do you wonder why we’re apart?
Well, I’m sorry but I’m not sorry
You belong in my heart.
How did we ever say “It’s over”?
Was it you who lied? - No, that was me
I love you, I’ll always love you
That’s how it’s got to be
That’s how it’s got to be

Spring Fever Blues
03:25
|
|||
Spring is here, the grass has ris’.
I wonder where my Baby is
I got these terrible Spring fever blues. Yes I do
The sun is high but I’ll stay in bed,
Ache in my heart and pain in my head
With these terrible Spring fever blues
We loved the winter long,
Now I wonder what went wrong
Spring has come but my Baby’s gone from me
I wonder where she is tonight.
I long to kiss and hold her tight
And end these terrible Spring fever blues
Well, I’m down here by the harbour lights
Watching ships pull out of sight
Leaving me these terrible Spring fever blues
Lovers pass me hand in hand.
They could never understand
My terrible Spring fever blues
We loved the winter long.
Now I wonder what went wrong
Spring has come but my Baby’s gone from me
I wonder where she is tonight.
I long to kiss and hold her tight
And end these terrible Spring fever blues
She may not come back but then she might.
If she does I’m gonna hold her tight
And end these terrible Spring fever blues
Gonna end these terrible Spring fever blues
These terrible Spring fever blues

Bad Luck Train
03:10
|
|||
I’m down here at the station waiting for your train
But ev’ry time that train it rolls in it rolls back out again
I’m in love but I’m out of luck.
You know I love you baby but you don’t give too much
I’m down here at the station every time that diesel comes
Pacing up and down my heart beating like a drum ‘cos
I’m in love but I’m out of luck.
You know I love you baby but you don’t give too much
I’m reading your last letter by the station’s yellow light.
You say we’ll be together soon like ev’ry other night and
I’m in love but I’m out of luck. Well
You know I love you baby but you don’t give too much
I’m done with waiting marking time I’m jumping on the train.
I’m going back to where I’m from to look for love again. Oh
I was in love but I’m out of luck.
I used to love you baby but now not so much.
I’m done with waiting marking time I’m jumping on that train.
I’m going back to where I’m from to look for love again.
I was in love. I was out of luck.
I used to love you baby but now not so much. Well
I used to love you baby but now - not so much.

Hit And Miss Love
03:44
|
|||
I loved you for a time in New York City
We took up a gain in Baltimore
Missed you by a day in Oklahoma
Left me wond’ring what this all was for
Got your letter in Missouri
Mine came back to me in Tennessee
I lost you on the way to San Francisco
That’s the way it always seems to be
Well I’ve been so many places I can’t remember
And ev’rywhere’s a memory of you
I’m tired but I’ll keep on moving
Hoping one day I’ll run in to you
I’m sitting in a diner drinking coffee
I look up as you walk in the door
Oh you smile you’re so glad to see me
I’ve had this dream a hundred times before
I’ve been so many places I can’t remember
Ev’rywhere’s a memory of you
I’m tired but I keep on moving
Hoping someday I’ll run in to you
We’ll catch up again in New York City
We’ll take a drink and laugh about our past
Or maybe you’ll just be a memory
Of a happy love that came and went too fast
Yeah maybe we’ll just be a memory
Of a happy love that came and went too fast

Who'da Thunk It?
03:38
|
|||
Don’t say nothin’, I can see it in your eyes
No, not one word, I can guess goodbye
I saw it coming like those storm clouds in the sky
Trouble was coming, I just didn’t know how fast.
Looks like this dry spell is really set to last.
But who’d a thunk it - all we’re gonna share’s a past.
What kind of fool would let things come to this
To lose a lover, and a friend as dear as this?
I’ll taste forever your last sweet, bitter kiss
Come tomorrow, I wonder where, where will I be
On some lonesome highway, a wiser man maybe.
Our sweet love a sad memory.
What kind of fool would let it come to this?
To lose a lover, and a friend as good as this?
I’ll taste forever that last sweet kiss

Deep Down In My Soul
02:54
|
|||
One long day, one lonely night
That morning sun don't look so right
Cos I'm lost without you deep down in my soul
I try to get some sleep
Your memory still keeps on
Haunting me baby deep down in my soul
No matter what I try I'm stuck on your goodbye
One day the truth will bite but for now I got to fight
Don't know what I’m gonna do to get me over you
'Cos I'm lost without you deep down in my soul
I promise to forget
But I always lose that bet
You’re still dealing’ aces deep down in my soul
One day I guess I'll learn
But for now a fire still burns
Like a beacon – imagine that, a beacon in my soul!
No matter what I try I'm stuck on your goodbye
One day the truth will bite but for now I got to fight
Don't know what I’m gonna do to get me over you
'Cos I'm lost without you deep down in my soul
Another day, another night
Another week and I just lose the fight
‘Cos I’m lost without you deep down in my
Lost without you deep down in my
Lost without you deep down in my soul
Deep down in my soul

If I had an aeroplane, and I could fly, I’d write your name, in the sky
I’d write I love you and I wouldn’t miss a day of your love
Sure there were times, and well you know, I packed my bag, said I’d go
But I wouldn’t leave you. No I wouldn’t miss a day of your love
You’re all the world to me. Our loves ev’rything love should be
I’m so glad, out of the blue, all of a sudden there was you
I know you love me, I don’t know why. I guess that I’m just, a lucky guy
You know I love you and I wouldn’t miss a day of your love
You’re all the world to me. Our loves ev’rything love should be
I’m so glad, out of the blue, all of a sudden there was you
I know you love me, I don’t know why. I guess that I’m just, a lucky guy
You know I love you and I wouldn’t miss a day of your love
You know I love you and I wouldn’t miss a day of your love

Rain Fall Down
04:01
|
|||
Rain falls down on me tonight
I dream again I’m holding you tight
Though things didn’t work out right
I’m better for loving you, Baby
Better for loving you, Baby
Couples pass me in the rain
They hush by me then they laugh again
The love upon their faces plain
Stuck here loving you, Baby
And the rain falls down on me tonight
I dream again I’m holding you tight
Though things didn’t work out right
I’m better for loving you, Baby
Better for loving you, Baby
I stand and watch the rain fall down
I listen to the sleepy sound
And I’m so aware you’re not around
Stuck here loving you, Baby
Take this song I give to you
There’s nothing you got to do
Now I’ll go on and hope and pray
You’ll come back some day
And the rain falls down on me tonight
I dream again I’m holding you tight
Though things didn’t work out right
I’m better for loving you, Baby
Better for loving you, Baby
I think about the times we had
All the good, all the bad
And suddenly I feel so sad
Back here loving your, Baby
Now take this song I give to you
There’s nothing that you got to do
Now I’ll go on and hope and pray
You’ll come back some day
Rain falls down on me tonight
I dream again I’m holding you tight
Though things didn’t work out right
I’m better for loving you, Baby
Better for loving you, Baby
Yeah, though things didn’t work out right
I’m better for loving you, Baby
Better for loving you, Baby
Better for loving you, Baby

You Took The Best Of Me
02:33
|
|||
Feeling Lonely and all on my own,
Felt this way since you left me all alone
Got to wonder where it’s leading me
Oh yes I do because
I spend each night out lookin’ for you,
I’m not complaining
I’m not blaming you or me
It’s just that there’s this pain in me,
It’s driving me insane you see,
It never lets me be, my darlin’
Another night out lookin’ for you,
Seems there’s nothing else I’d rather do
When you left me you took the best of me
I’m not complaining,
I’m not blaming you or me,
It’s just that there’s this pain in me,
It’s driving me insane you see,
It never lets me be, my darlin’
Another night out walkin’ the street,
Don’t hit the pillow till I’m dead upon my feet
When you left me you took the best of me.
When you left me you took the best of me.
When you left me you took the best of me.

I’ve loved girls from the city and from over the sea,
But none so lovely as the one loving me
You could offer me diamonds or the stars up above.
They would mean nothing without your love.
You could offer me diamonds or the stars up above.
They would mean nothing without your love.
I could search the world over but I’d never find,
A love so sweet, gentle and kind
I’ve loved you forever though we’ve only met,
Ev’ry day gets better. How good can a good thing get?
You could offer me diamonds or the stars up above.
They would mean nothing without your love.
I could search the world over but I’d never find,
A love so sweet, gentle and kind
A love so sweet, gentle and kind

It’s a long, long way from here to the streets of my home town
It seems it’s getting further ev’ry day
And sunset finds me here down at the station
Wond’ring why I ever came away
Ev’ry night I feel so downright lonely
Joe the barman sets his watch by me
Ev’ry morning after finds me weeping
For dear old friends back home where I should be
And it’s a long, long way from here to the streets of Melbourne
It seems it’s getting further ev’ry day
So sunset finds me here down at the station
Wond’ring why I ever came away
So many times I’ve promised I’ll make it home someday
But it could be the death of me might be the only way
If I could only scrape the fare together
I’d board that hometown train without delay
I’d be so glad to roam those hometown alleys
I’d set down roots never more to stray
It’s a long way from here to the streets of Melbourne
It seems it’s getting further ev’ry day
So sunset finds me here down at the station
Wond’ring why I ever came away
