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 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

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.

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

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

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 credits from John's Blues - John Hunter Combo (album), released September 9, 2019 Words & Music copyright John Hunter, Melbourne Australia Vocal, harmonica, guitar - John Hunter Combo.

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

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
