(Orbison/Dees)

Only you and no one else
Can keep me crawling back
You know I cant help myself
And now I'm crawling back

After all you've done to me
The times you've turned me down
I still will be your clown
Because I love you
I'm crawling back

You know I would die for you
Heaven knows how I have cried for you
But what else can I do
But crawl on back to you, ooh
Crawling back to you

People stop they talk and they stare
But they don't know that you really care
That you're only lonely, and making believe
And you need me around
When the world turns you down

Whenever you might need me
I will come crawling back
Wherever you will lead me
I will come crawling back

. . .


You tell me to find somebody new.
That you're not for me i'm not for you.
It don't matter if you're right or wrong.
It ain't not big thing just say "so long"

It's been fun and laughter all the way.
I will live to love another day.
I will be alright can't you tell?.
It ain't not big thing just say "farewell"

It ain't not big thing I won't be blue.


Just so you're happy and your dreams come true.
It ain't not big thing my losing you.
Just ain't no big thing, I'll get over you.

It ain't not big thing to see you go.
It ain't not big thing that you don't know.
It ain't not big thing I've been lying.
It ain't not big thing that I'm crying.
It ain't not big thing that I'm dying

John Rainey-Atkins/Bowie

The town is not the same
My friends don't know my name
Lots of things have changed
Things seem so wrong
Since I've come home

It's been a year or so
Since I had to go
I wonder if she's waiting
Or has she betrayed
the promise she made

Now as I'm walking to her
My doubts are too much to bear
Was she faithful or untrue?
If I've lost her, what will I do
Now, we're face to face
As her eyes meet mine
The answer I find is
Time Changed Everything
Time Changed Everything
Time Changed Everything
But her

. . .


The sun on the rim of the hill overlooking all that I love
Lights up every leaf and blade, birds circling high above
With trembling hand I reach down and say "This is my land"

This land will pass on to my child, when he's grown
To love it as much as I, for all the sons gone by
And when he's a man he'll do what he can
For this my land, this is my land

When young men die in glory and for freedom take their stand
May they sing this same proud story, this is my land

When life fades away, and my body is laid to rest in the ground
May this comfort fill my soul here on the land, I know
That those after me say with much dignity
"This is my land, this is my land"

. . .


When I see you walking with some other guy. I know that I'm a man I'm not supposed to cry. But when I see you I cry inside. I guess I'm a loner I don't run with your crowd.
You only smile at me when there's no one around. We have to meet in secret 'cause we know the town, They'll talk of me,they'll talk of you.and they'll say "Oh what a shame,he's ruining her name."

Some people say when you're alone like me. Life has no meaning, but I know. The reason you love me.is because I'll never be Never be,what you want me to be.
So go on laugh and walk and talk with other guys. I'll never let them see the love that's in my eyes. We'll meet tonight you'll make it right, when you say We'll be together forever and ever.

. . .


Written by Orbison/Dees.

Crazy heart your baby's gone, don't you know?.
Empty arms give up, give up, come on let go.
And maybe I will be alright.
And maybe I'll get through tonight.
Then maybe I will see you tomorrow.

Misty eyes don't see that face in every tear.
Longing lips don't speak that name, there's no one here.
And maybe I will see the dawn.
And maybe i'll get by alone.
Then maybe I will lose my sorrow.

In a hundred years trough a million tears,
Maybe,maybe.
Maybe I'll be loving you.
And maybe when my life is through
Then maybe i'll get over you.
Maybe,maybe,maybe.

Roy Orbison

I wonder why you threw your diary away
When you walk by I nearly died What can I say
Things were fine, you were mine just yesterday
Now we're apart ,Breakin' up is breakin' my heart

I find myself alone at night And then I cry
No tenderness My happiness just said goodbye
Now you're gone, I'm alone I wonder why we had to part

Breakin' up is breakin' my heart, baby
Breakin' up is breakin' my heart

The love affair we used to share Is cold and still
I loved you then I love you now I always will
The day that you found someone new
My lonely world just fell apart
Out of your arms drives me out of my mind

Baby, breaking up is breakin' my heart
Baby, breaking up is breakin' my heart
Breakin' up is breakin' my heart
Breakin' up is breakin' my heart

. . .


I really wouldn't mind it might be fun.
At any other time with any other one.
But lovers can't be friends.
And there's only one way it can end.
I would lose you,I would lose you.

There are not many girls I can talk with.
There are not many girls I can walk with.
And I don't have many friends if any,
So stay my friend and go away my friend.

I'm really wanting you to go away.
Everything you do, the things you say.
Confuse me now and then,
And I think I love you, my friend.
Go away,go away.

You're the only girl I have fun with.
You're the only girl I can run with.
You know friendship ends where love begins.
So stay my friend and go away my friend.

You know firendship ends where love begins,
So stay my friend and go,go away.
Go away,go away.go away....

. . .


Orbison Dees

The evening sun is falling that old blue moon is calling
My guardian angel in the sky came through
To help all my dreams come true there's a new star.
There's a new star coming tonight, there's a new love burning
So bright for a new star of love is born between the earth and sky
for you and I.

There's a new star
The moon was dull, the sky was cold and gray
There were no stars to light my lonely way
And then I traced the lovelight in your eyes
To a new star twinkling in the sky burning bright, day and night
Now I'm alright, now we're together, lovers forever
A new star, a new star to light our way
There's a new star burning for us, there's a new world turning for us
There's a new star sparkling in the sky.

There's a new star shining somewhere and we know the reason why
There's a new star way up there for a true love
A new star for our love will never die.

. . .


Orbison/Dees

A new sweet song of love has got you off my mind
I've found the new love who will walk the line
Every night and every day
I give all my love away
To someone who can love me all the time

Never again, to be lonely again
Never again
Heartaches have left me now forever

I've burned the old love letters that you wrote to me
Discovered love I thought could never be
A love as sweet as wine
Keeps you off my mind
I said goodbye to my misery

Memories will never bother me again
And when I think of things that might have been
I just pledge my love to my new love
And then we kiss again

And oh, what a feeling just to know
That never again, never again, never again
I've found a love to last forever
I true love who will leave me never

Never, never, never
Never, never, never
Never, never, never....

. . .


It wasn't very long ago.
I met you,I saw you.
It wasn't very long ago.
You whispered "I love you"

Look at us now.
Crying our hearts out through the night.
Trying to remember what love was like, although...

It wasn't very long ago.
I thrilled when I kissed you.
It wasn't very long ago.
I cried when I missed you

Look at us now.
Crying at hearts out through the night.
Trying to remember what love was like
Although It wasn't very long ago.

Look look my eyes aren't shining with love
And they won't.
Look I'm not crying ‘cause I need you,
I'm crying ‘cause I don't, oh

It wasn't very long ago.
I held you, so closely.
It wasn't very long ago.
I dreamed of,you mostly

Look us now.
Crying at hearts out through the night.
Trying to remember what love was like.
Although it wasn't very long ago.

It wasn't very long ago.
It wasn't very long ago.
Not so very long ago..

. . .


(Orbison-Dees)

If you really love me, and you say that you do
If you're thinking of me, like you know I think of you
Why hurt the one who loves you?
If you ever leave me, and you say that you will
Then why deceive me, is it just for a thrill?
Why hurt the one who loves you?

You hardly know I'm around, and I need you more and more
I beg you please stay with me and you walk out the door

Why hurt the one who loves you?
Have you got nothing better to do?
Why hurt the one who loves you
When you know I don't want to hurt you?

When your new love leaves you, and you want me back again
When you really need me, and you want me for a friend
I'll walk away from you, and darling when I do
You'll wonder why, why
Why, why, why hurt the one who loves you?
