Blue Moon of Kentucky (short version)

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shinin
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shinin
Shine on the one that's gone and proved untrue.

It was one a moonlight night
The stars were shinin bright
Whisper'in from on high
Love said goodbye

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shinin
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.




included is a short version of this song zipped. (not usual version)

Gone but not forgotten

[Elven]

Are You Lonesome Tonight?



Are you lonesome tonight,
do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world's a stage
And each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted
strange
And why I'll never know.
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you.
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you.
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down.
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?



A special thanks to Naleca for supporting this thread

I'll support the thread! (Just didn't have any MIDIs to contribute.) How about some nice lyrics:

Forget Me Never
(Wise / Weisman)

(Recorded for the film "Wild In The Country")

If I should go, forget me never
Please say that you'll remember me
I pray the dreams we share together
Will shine on in your memory

Each time a star falls out of heaven
It leaves the sky a deeper blue
So if we part, forget me never
And don't forget my love for you
And don't forget my love for you

[ZelRiptha]

Okay, here's another:

(Now And Then There's) A Fool Such As I
(Trader)

(Now and then there's a fool such as I)
Pardon me, if I'm sentimental
When we say goodbye
Don't be angry with me should I cry
When you're gone, yet I'll dream
A little dream as years go by
Now and then there's a fool such as I (fool such as I)

* Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I'll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I (fool such as I)

(Now and then there's a fool such as I)

* Repeat
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Seperate Ways

I see a change is coming to our lives
It's not the same as it used to be
And it's not too late to realise our
mistake
We're just not right for each other
Love has slipped away left us only
friends
We almost seem like strangers
All that's left between us are the
memories we shared
Of times we thought we cared for
each other

There's nothing left to do but go our
separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind
us
And maybe someday, somewhere
along the way
Another love will find us

Some day when she's older, maybe
she will understand
Why her mom and dad are not
together
The tears that she will cry when I
have to say goodbye
Will tear at my heart forever

There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind us
And maybe someday, somewhere along the way
Another love will find us

[naleca]

Until its time for you to go

You're not a dream
You're not an angel
You're a woman
I'm not a king,
I'm a man,
Take my hand
We'll make a space
In the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Yes, we're diff'rent worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played
At the start like in a game
You could have stayed
Outside my heart
But in you came
And here you'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why,
Don't ask how
Don't ask forever,
Love me now
This love of mine
Had no beginning
It has no end
I was an oak,
Now I'm a willow
Now I can bend
And tho' I'll never
In my life see you again
I still stay
Until it's time for you to go

[naleca]

You dont have to say you love me

When I said, I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed, but you
And know you've gone away
Don't you know that now you're gone
And I'm left her on my own
Then I have to follow you
And beg you to come home
You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
I can't help I love you
But believe me, I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel

[naleca]

Always on my mind

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind.

[naleca]

The wonder of you

When no-one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on

And you're always there to lend a hand
In everything I do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you

And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I'm a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything

I'll guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me like you do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you

[Elven]

Shucks fellas. I didn't realize you cared so much. Brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eye.

Crying in the Chapel

You saw me crying in the chapel.
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I am happy with the Lord
Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day

I've searched and I've searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind

Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
We gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord

Ev'ry sinner looks for something
That will put his heart at ease
There is only one true answer
He must get down on his knees

Meet your neighbor in the chapel
Join with him in tears of joy
You'll know the meaning of contentment
Then you'll be happy with the Lord

You'll search and you'll search
But you'll never find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind

Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way

[dcd]

You look like an angel walk like an angel
talk like an angel but I got wise

YOURE THE DEVIL IN DISGUISE OH YES YOU ARE
DEVIL IN DISGUISE

You fooled me with your kisses
you cheated and you sheamed
heaven knows how you lie to me
you're not the way you seemed

You look like an angel walk like an angel
talk like an angel but I got wise

YOURE THE DEVIL IN THE SKY OH YES YOU ARE
DEVIL IN THE SKY

I thought that I was in heaven
but I was sure surprised
heaven help me I didn't see
the devil in your eyes

You look like an angel walk like an angel
talk like an angle but I got wise

YOURE THE DEVIL IN DISGUISE OH YES YOU ARE
DEVIL IN DIGUISE

Solo

YOURE THE DEVIL IN DISGUISE OH YES YOU ARE
DEVIL IN DISGUISE OH YES YOU ARE
DEVIL IN DISGUISE OH YES YOU ARE
DEVIL IN DISGUISE OH YES YOU ARE
