1. Fool
(Carl Sigman / James Last)

Fool, you didn't have to hurt her
Fool, you didn't have to lose her
Fool, you only had to love her
But now her love is gone

Fool, you could have made her want you
Fool, you could have made her love you
Fool, you only had to love her
But now her love is gone

Gone now, the love and laughter
See yourself the morning after
Can't you see her eyes are misty
As she said good-bye (Good-bye)

Fool, you didn't have to hurt her
Fool, you didn't have to lose her
Fool, you only had to love her
But now your love is gone

Oh ...............
Oh ...............
Fool, you only had to love her
But now her love is gone

Fool, you didn't have to hurt her
Fool, you didn't have to lose her
Fool, you only had to love her
But now ..........



2. Where Do I Go From Here?
(Paul Williams)

If I knew the way I'd go back home
The countryside has changed so much I'd surely end up lost
Half-remembered names and faces so far in the past
From the other side are the bridges that were burned once they were crossed

Tell me where, where does a fool go when there's no-one left to listen
To a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go when he knows there's something missing
Tell me where, where do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?

Get back home where my childhood dreams and wishes still outnumber my regrets
Go back to a place where I can figure all the odds
Have a fightin' chance to lose the blues and win my share of bets



3. Love Me, Love The Life I Lead
(MaCauley / Greenaway)

I am not a wise man neither am I a fool
But what I am the way the good Lord made me
Though I need you more than you may ever understand
I can't wear a face that will betray me

Oh, If you're gonna love me, love the life I lead
Need the things I need, don't try to change me
If you're gonna take me, take me for what I am
I can't be another man, I can't be free
'Cos The life I lead is the life I lead

Money in my pocket never seems to last too long
I've gambled on the way and drowned my sorrows
Though God knows I can't pretend it's better on my own
I can't promise you a new tomorrow



4. It's Still Here
(Ivory Joe Hunter)

The day you said we'd never part
You turned around and broke my heart
You had the nerve to tell me I would soon forget
Now you've been gone away one year
And I have not forgotten dear
The love I had for you so long
Is still here
Wow-oh

It's here, still here
Because my heart cannot believe
We're really through
And though you said we'd never part
You turned around and broke my heart
The love I had for you so long
Is still here, oh yeah

It's here, still here
Because my heart cannot believe
We're really through
Now you've been gone away one year
And I have not forgotten dear
The love I had for you so long
Is still here, oh yeah

It's here, it's here, still here
Because my heart cannot believe
We're really through
And though you said we'd never part
You turned around and broke my heart
The love I had for you so long
Is still here, oh yeah



5. It's impossible
(Wayne / Manzanero)

It's impossible to tell the sun to leave the sky,
It's just impossible
It's impossible to ask a baby not to cry,
It's just impossible
Can I hold you closer to me
And not feel you going through me,
But the second that I never think of you ?
Oh, how impossible

Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore ?
It's just impossible
If I had you could I ever ask for more ?
It's just impossible
And tomorrow, should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it, I would sell my very soul
And not regret it for to live without your love
Is just impossible

Oh impossible, (Impossible)
Impossible
Impossible



6. (That's What You Get) For Lovin' Me
(Gordon Lightfoot)

That's what you get for lovin' me
That's what you get for lovin' me
Everything we had is gone, so you can see
That's what you get for lovin' me

Now don't you shed a tear for me
I ain't the love you'd thought I'd be
I've had a hundred just like you
But don't be blue I'll have a thousand before I'm through

Now there you go, you're cryin' again
You should have known how things would end
But then some day when your poor heart is on the mend
I just might pass this way again



7. Padre
(LaRue / Webster / Romans)

The day that we wed
You blessed us and said
May heaven bestow you grace
There in that holy place
We shared our first embrace

Our cottage was small but richer than all
The palaces of the king
All day the birds would sing
Our hearts were filled with spring

Padre, padre
What happened to our love so true?
Padre, oh padre
In my grief I turn to you

Then he came along
And sang her his song
And won her with honey lies
He of the fiery eyes
Now it's my heart that cries

So I kneel and pray
The hours away
And weary my heart has grown
Wond'ring where love has flown
Helping Marie to roam

Padre, oh padre
Please tell me how such things can be
Padre, oh padre
Pray for my love and me



8. I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen
(Traditional - arranged Elvis Presley)

I'll take you home again Kathleen
Across the ocean wild and wide
To where your heart has ever been
Since first you were my bonnie bride
The roses all have left your cheek
I watch them fade away and die
Your voice is soft when ere you speak
And tears bedim your lovely eyes
Oh, I will take you home Kathleen
To where your heart shall feel no pain
And when the fields are soft and green
I will take you to your home Kathleen



9. I Will Be True
(Ivory Joe Hunter)

I will be true
No matter what they may say
I will be true
Although you're far far away
Each night I pray
All day I'll say silent prayers
That when I open my door
I'll find you there
Somehow I feel
That someday we'll meet again
Don't ask me how
It's something I can't explain
Until the day
I give up all hope of you
Assure yourself this I'll do
I will be true

Oh oh mmmmmm
That someday we'll meet again
Don't ask me how
It's something I can't explain
Until the day
I give up all hope of you
Assure yourself this I'll do
I will be true



10. Don't Think Twice, It's All Right

Don't, don't, that's what you say
Each time that I hold you this way,
When I feel like this and I want to hold you,
baby, don't say don't.

Don't, don't leave my embrace
For here in my arms is your place
When the night grows cold and I want to hold you,
baby, don't say don't.

If you think that this is just a game
I'm playing
If you think that I don't mean
ev'ry word I'm saying
Don't, don't, don't, don't,
Don't feel that way
I'm your love and yours I will stay

This you can believe
I will never leave you
Heave knows I won't
Baby, don't say don't
