I felt you near tonight, as I stepped out for a walk In the right light, I can turn back the clock These streets are filled with ghosts, hard to crack a smile I miss you the most, stay with me awhile Trees, like memories, bend and sway, they echo with your name You’ve gone away and yet you remain These streets are filled with ghosts, hard to crack a smile I miss you the most, stay with me awhile Miss you the most, stay with me awhile You bring light even now Twinkling star Unforgettable Though near or far The water draws me near, like the weeping willow trees I hold my breath to hear, your voice on the breeze These streets are filled with ghosts, hard to crack a smile I miss you the most, stay with me awhile My love for you runs deep, but this river is so wide I see the lights shine, from the other side These streets are filled with ghosts, hard to crack a smile I miss you the most, stay with me awhile Miss you the most, stay with me awhile Miss you the most, stay with me awhile

The Problem 03:22
I don’t know why you did what you did, we both know you were wrong And if I take you back, we’ll be back here again before long And I need you to know that it's not that I met someone new All this time I’ve been trying to change me, the problem was you I was lost but now I see All that you took from me I’m not that fool you’re looking for Don’t come knocking at my door I was me when we met, you can bet, I'll be me when you're gone And in time, I will let, this regret, be just words in a song Seems that you, had forgot, this whole world, doesn't spin, just for you C'est fini, au revoir, that's the end, cha-cha-cha, yeah, we're through I was lost but now I see All that you took from me I’m not that fool you’re looking for Don’t come knocking at my door I was lost, now I see All that you took from me I’m not that fool you’re looking for Don’t come knocking at my door I don’t know why you did what you did, we both know you were wrong And if I take you back, we’ll be back here again before long And I need you to know that it's not that I met someone new All this time I’ve been trying to change me, the problem was you I was lost, now I see All that you took from me Just who, do you think, you are You pushed me way too far There's no sense in wondering why You're not worth the tears I cry I’m not that fool you’re looking for Don’t come knocking at my door

Oh how time flies whenever my eyes land on you, nobody but you Only you hold the key, to my heart's melody, oh you, nobody but you Don't know where we're going but with you nowhere is everywhere so I, I really don't care Can't go wrong, my life's a song, just as long as I'm near to you, nobody but you Spent all my money, honey, but I've saved all my time just for you, nobody but you Don’t want my body against nobody’s body but you, nobody but you Don't know where we're going but with you nowhere is everywhere so I, I really don't care Can't go wrong, my life's a song, just as long as I'm near to you, nobody but you Don't know where we're going but with you nowhere is everywhere so I, I really don't care Can't go wrong, my life's a song, just as long as I'm near to you, nobody but you And oh how time flies whenever my eyes land on you, nobody but you And only you hold the key, to my heart's melody, oh you, nobody but you Can't go wrong, my life's a song, just as long as I'm near to you, nobody but you

One Shoe 03:05
You were fighting a bottle of whiskey And I was fighting with you The cab driver nearly lost it Said “Get out and take that drunk too” So, I paid him his fee and hopped out to see you’d sped off as you always do As the cab turned the corner, I grew forlorn-er I realized I'd only one shoe Ever have one of those crazy nights? All of us sometimes do But ya ever woke up, down on your luck cause you’d come home wearing one shoe? And you only had one shoe I blame it all on you Tell ya, that broke my heart more, than your departure What’s a gal to do? When you only have one shoe I blame it all on you Tell ya that broke my heart more than your departure What’s a gal to do? It started off a real sweet night I’m so glad you let me buy you dinner Come out from the loo, you’re talking to Sue Boy, did I pick a winner Should’a taken my chance, when she asked you to dance, She was keen, I should've just let her But some lessons are learned slow Now I wear boots, you know They stay on my feet much better Ever have one of those crazy nights? All of us sometimes do But ya ever woke up, down on your luck cause you’d come home wearing one shoe? And you only had one shoe I blame it all on you Tell ya that broke my heart more than your departure What’s a gal to do? When you only have one shoe I blame it all on you Tell ya that broke my heart more than your departure What’s a gal to do? Ever have one of those crazy nights? All of us sometimes do But ya ever woke up down on your luck ‘Cause you’d come home wearing one shoe? And you only had one shoe I blame it all on you Tell ya that broke my heart more than your departure What’s a gal to do? When you only have one shoe I blame it all on you

Let them talk if they want to Talk don't bother me I want the whole wide world to know That I, I still love you so Let them whisper For they know not What exists between you and I I'm gonna keep on loving you Until the day I die They're tryin' to breakup our romance But they, they don't stand a chance ‘Cus we’ve got the kind of love That's so strong And we'll be together from now on I know that gossip comes from the devil's workshop But true love will make it stop I want the whole wide world to know That I, I still love you so I'm gonna keep on loving you Until the day I die And they're jealous of everything we do But it's so wonderful When you love someone And that someone loves you.

There's a sayin' goin' ‘round And I'm beginning to think it's true It's awfully hard to love someone When they don't care about you Once I had a lovin’ guy The sweetest thing in this town Now I'm sad and lonely He’s gone and turned me down Now I ain't got nobody, nobody cares for me That's why I'm so sad and lonely Won't somebody come and take a chance with me? I'll sing you sweet love songs honey, all of the time If you'll only be that loving guy of mine That’s why I ain't got nobody, nobody cares for me Now I ain't got nobody, nobody cares for me That's why I'm so sad and lonely Won't somebody come and take a chance with me? I'll sing you sweet love songs honey, all of the time If you'll only be that loving guy of mine That’s why I ain't got nobody, nobody cares for me oh lord, nobody cares for me

Solange 03:14
Si jamais j’me perdais Dans l’brouillard ben épais Si jamais j’me noyais Dans une bouteille sans arrêt J’veux juste que tu m’dises Que tu m’aimais Comme une chanson que j’aime Qu’y arrête jamais Quand j’me sauverais dans l’noir Pas certain qu’on va se r’voir Quand je viderai mes tiroirs M’a m’arranger pour boire J’veux juste que tu m’dises Que tu m’aimais Comme une chanson que j’aime Qu’y arrête jamais C’t’ histoire la / r’commencera C’t’ histoire la / nous tuera Tu trouves pas qu’on est triste à voir Tu trouve pas qu’on peu pu y croire Dans les bras de ma Solange Avec son p’tit coat à franges Dans ma tête sa m’démange J’pense a toi sa m’dérange J’veux juste que tu m’dises Que tu m’aimais Comme une chanson que j’aime Qu’y arrête jamais J’veux juste que tu m’dises Que tu m’aimais Comme une chanson que j’aime Qu’y arrête jamais Comme une chanson que j’aime Qu’y arrête

Hand in Hand 04:17
Through the night, I feel loneliness And in my heart, a great heaviness You left today and with you, so my love Heartbreaking news, an image in place of – your outstretched arms, I closed my eyes to the world you sang to me without uttering a word I’ve held tight but know this must end I will learn to let go of your hand Hand in hand, hand in hand Through the night, I feel loneliness And in my heart, a great heaviness You left today and with you, so my love Heartbreaking news, an image in place of – Through the night, I feel loneliness And in my heart, a great heaviness You left today and with you, so my love Heartbreaking news, an image in place of – your outstretched arms, I closed my eyes to the world you sang to me without uttering a word I’ve held tight but know this must end I will learn to let go of your hand, Hand in hand, hand in hand Through the night I feel loneliness And in my heart, a great heaviness
