I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you 'Cause falling in love just makes me blue Well the music plays and you display Your heart for me to see I had a beer and now I hear you callin' out for me And I hope that I don't fall in love with you Well the room is crowded, people everywhere And I wonder, should I offer you a chair Well if you sit down with this old clown I'll take that frown and break it Before the evening's gone away I think that we could make it And I hope that I don't fall in love with you And I can see that you are lonesome just like me And it being late you'd like some company Well, I turn around to look at you And you light a cigarette I wish I had the guts to bum one But we've never met And I hope that I don't fall in love with you Well the night does funny things inside a man These ol'tom cat feelings you don't understand Well, I turn around to look at you And you look back at me The guy you're with, he's up and split The chair next to you is free And I hope that you don't fall in love with me Now it's closing time, the music's fading out Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout I turn around to look at you You're nowhere to be found I search the place for your lost face Guess I'll have another round And I think that I just fell in love with you. Virginia Avenue Well, I'm walking on down Virginia Avenue Tryin' to find somebody to tell my troubles to Harold's club is closing - everybody's goin'on home What's a poor boy to do? I'll just get on back into my short Make it back to the fort Sleep off all the craziness that's inside my brain There's got to be some place better than this This life I'm leadin's drivin' me insane And let me tell you I'm dreamin' Dreamin' through the twilight This town has got me down I've seen all the highlights I've been walking all around But I won't make a fuss, I'll take a Greyhound bus And carry me away from here Now tell me what have I got to lose 'Cause I'm walkin'on down Columbus Avenue Bars all a'closin' 'cause it's quarter to two And every town I go to is like a lock without a key The blues I leave behind, keep catchin' up on me Catchin' up on me Catchin' up on me. Old Shoes (& Picture Postcards) I'm singing this song' cause it's time it was sung I've been putting it off for a while But it's harder by now 'Cause the truth is so clear That I cry when I'm seein' you smile So goodbye, so long, my road calls me dear And your tears cannot bind me anymore And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes And I'll kiss you and then I'll be gone Everytime that I tried to tell you That we had lost the magic we had at the start I would weep my heart when I looked in your eyes And I'd search once again for the spark So goodbye, so long, my road calls me dear And your tears cannot bind me anymore And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes And I'll kiss you and then I'll be gone For you know that there's something That's callin' me dear And by morning I'm sure to be gone For I'm older than you and you know oh so well That our time for to love was a song So goodbye, so long, my road calls me dear And your tears cannot bind me anymore And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes And I'll kiss you and then I'll be gone I can see by your eyes it's time to go So I'll leave you to cry in the rain Though I held in my hands The key to all joy Honey my heart was not born to be tamed So goodbye, so long, my road calls me dear And your tears cannot bind me anymore And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone. Midnight Lullaby Sing a song of six pence, pocket full of rye And hushabye my baby, no need to be cryin' You can burn the midnight oil with me As long as you will And stare out at the moon upon the windowsill And dream... Sing a song of six pence, pocket full of rye Hushabye my baby, no need to be cryin' There's dew drops on the window sill, Gumdrops in your head You're slippin' into dreamland and nodding your head So dream of West Virginia or of the British Isles 'Cause when you are dreaming, you see for miles and miles And when you are much older, remember when we sat At midnight on the windowsill, and had this little chat And dream And dream...

Little Trip To Heaven (On The Wings Of Your Love) Little trip to heaven on the wings of your love Banana moon is shining in the sky I feel like I'm in heaven when you're with me Feel like I'm in heaven when you smile Though we're stuck here on the ground I've got something that I've found And it's you I don't have to trip to outer space All I have to do is look at your face And before I know it I'm in orbit around you Thankin' my lucky star that I found you When I see your constellation Honey, you're my inspiration And it's you You're my north star when I'm lost and feelin' blue The sun is breakin' through the clouds Don't you know that it's true Honey, all the other stars seem dim around you Thankin' my lucky star that I found you When I see your smilin' face I know nothing's gonna ever take your place And it's you And it's you And it's you and it's you Shoobedopapada. Grapefruit Moon Grapefruit moon and one star shining Shining down on me Heard that tune and now I'm pining Honey can't you see That everytime I hear that melody Something breaks inside And a grapefruit moon and one star shining Can't turn back the tide Never had no destination Could not get across You became my inspiration Oh, but what a cost And everytime I hear that melody Something breaks inside And A grapefruit moon and one star shining Is more than I can hide Now I'm smoking cigarettes And I strive for purity And I slip just like the stars Into obscurity 'Cause everytime I hear that melody Puts me up a tree And the grapefruit moon and one star shining Is all that I can see.
