I SING..... ♪ ♫ ♪

Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green, grass of home.
The old house is still standing, tho' the paint is cracked and dry,
and there's that old oak tree that I used to play on.

She sits ON the dock a fishin' in the water uh, huh
I don't know her name she's the fisherman's daughter uh, huh
Come on down to my boat baby
Come on down where we can play
Come on down to my boat baby
Come on down we'll sail away.
She smiled so nice like she wants to come with me uh, huh
But she's tied to the dock and she can't get free
Come on down to my boat baby...
Fish all day sleep all night
Father never lets her out of his sight
Soon I'm gonna have to get my knife and cut that rope, cut that rope
Then we can go fishin' in my little red boat
Make you happy in my little red boat
so come on down to my boat baby...

From my tweenie youth in the 1970s... The Bay City Rollers ... not in the least bit cool unless you were a young female

Bye bye baby baby goodbye
bye bye baby don't make me cry

You're the one girl in town I'd marry
Girl I'd marry now if I were free--
I wish it could be
I could love you but why begin it?
'cause there ain't any future in it.

She's got me and I'm not free so
Bye bye baby, baby goodbye
bye bye baby, don't make me cry

Honky tonkers don't cry, we ain't allowed
We have to have a good time even when we feel down
And if a tear should fall, it's gonna land on a smile
Always having a ball, honky tonkers don't cry
Cryin' in a beer is commonplace around here
But when the sun goes down, nobody's wearing a frown
That's the life that we live every night
That's the way that it is, honky tonkers don't cry
Cryin' in a beer is commonplace around here
But when the sun goes down, nobody's wearing a frown
That's the life that we live every night
That's the way that it is,
honky tonkers don't cry!

Big girls don't cry
Big girls don't cry

Big girls don't cry
(They don't cry)
Big girls don't cry
(Who said they don't cry?)

My girl said goodbye
(My oh my)
My girl didn't cry
(I wonder why?)

So tell me why it don't feel the same
Tell me why I've got to feel this way
Yeah you leave, you're gone
And I'm left here with the blame
So tell me why it don't feel the same

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
But it's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

Since you've been GONE
I can breathe for the first time.
So moving on..yeah yeah
Thanks to you, now i get...i get what I WANT...

You're the one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need
Oh, yes, indeed

Yes indeed yes indeed I've got that feeling in me yes indeed
You will shout when it hits you yes indeed
Yes you'll shout when it hits you yes indeed
When that spirit moves you you will shout hallelujah
When it hits you you'll holler yes indeed
It comes out if it's in you yes indeed
It makes you shout Jack it sends you yes indeed
When that jive starts jumpin' you will shout let me in there

THERE used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
The stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the GRAY...

Yours till the stars lose their glory
Yours till the birds fall to sing
Yours to the end of life's story
This pledge to you dear I bring
Yours in the gray of December
Here or on far distant shores
I've never loved anyone the way I love you
How could I when I was born to be just yours ............

In case that was causing trouble I'll chip in with another.......

Baby, I'm yours (baby, I'm yours)
And I'll be yours (yours) until the stars fall from the sky,
Yours (yours) until the rivers all run dry
In other words, until I die

Baby, I'm yours (baby, I'm yours)
And I'll be yours (yours) until the sun no longer shines,
Yours (yours) until the poets run out of rhyme
In other words, until the end of time

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you and you'd stay

I don't know why I did the things I did I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons they wound sometimes

Sometimes we know, sometimes we don't
Sometimes we give, sometimes we won't
Sometimes we're strong, sometimes we're wrong
Sometimes we cry

Sometimes it's bad when the going gets tough
When we look in the mirror and we want to give up
Sometimes we don't even think we'll try
Sometimes we cry

Big girls don't cry
Big girls don't cry

Big girls don't cry
(They don't cry)
Big girls don't cry
(Who said they don't cry?)

My girl said goodbye

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Ah! I'm pretty sure Spandau Ballet has already been used. Some thought needed for true.

EDIT
Instant inspiration- Bryan Adams

You know it's true:
Everything I do, I do it for you.

Look into your heart – you will find
There's nothin' there to hide.
Take me as I am, take my life.
I would give it all, I would sacrifice.

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more
