EVA CASSIDY

AIN'T NO SUNSHINE

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone

It's not warm when he's away

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone

And he always gone too long anytime he goes away

I wonder this time where he's gone

Wonder how long he's gonna stay

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone

And this house just ain't no home

Anytime he goes away

Well I know I know I know...

When he's gone

Always gone too long anytime he goes away

Anytime he goes away

Anytime he goes away

EVA CASSIDY

AMERICAN TUNE

Many's the time I've been mistaken

And many times confused

Many's the time I've been forsaken

And certainly abused

But it's all right, it's all right

You can't be forever blessed

When I think of another working day

I've just got to get some rest

I've got to get some rest

I don't know a soul who's not been battered

Don't have a friend who feels at ease

Don't know a dream that's not been shattered

Or driven to its knees

Oh but it's all right, it's all right

We've lived so well so long

And when I think of the road we've travelled on

So far away from home

So far away from home

And I dreamed I was dying

I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

And looking back down at me

Smiled reassuringly

And I dreamed I was flying

And high up above my eyes could clearly see

The Statue of Liberty

Sailing away to sea

In a dream I was flying

We come on the ship they call the Mayflower

We come on the ship that sailed the moon

We come in the age's most uncertain hour

And we sing an American tune

Oh but it's all right, it's all right

You can't be forever blessed

And when I think of another working day

I've just got to get some rest

I've got to get some rest

EVA CASSIDY

ANNIVERSARY SONG

Today has been a special day

An anniversary, a request

That you play your piano

As the evening sun slowly sets

Chorus

I never thought I d get this old dear

Never had a reason to live so long

And the Lord s been like my shadow

Even when I was wrong

No I never thought it would turn out this way

A birthday with apologies

For all the tears and the rest

And I ve always saved your poetry

For those years when you forget

Chorus

So sing with me softly

As the day turns to night

And later I ll dream of paradise with you

I love you and good night

EVA CASSIDY

AT LAST

At last my love has come along

My lonely days are over

And life is like a song

Ohh yeah

At last the skies above are blue

And my heart was wrapped in clover

The night I looked at you

I found a dream that I could speak to

A dream that I could call my own

I found a thrill to press my cheek to

A thrill that I have never known

Oh yeah yeah

You smiled ohh and then the spell was cast

And here we are in heaven

For you are mine at last

For you are mine at last

EVA CASSIDY

AUTUMN LEAVES

The falling leaves drift by the window

The autumn leaves of red and gold

I see your lips, the summer kisses

The sunburned hand I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long

And soon I'll hear old winter's song

But I miss you most of all, my darling

When autumn leaves start to fall

I see your lips, the summer kisses

The sunburned hand I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long

And soon I'll hear old winter's song

But I miss you most of all, my darling

When autumn leaves start to fall

EVA CASSIDY

AUTUMN LEAVES

The falling leaves drift by the window

The autumn leaves of red and gold

I see your lips, the summer kisses

The sunburned hand I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long

And soon I'll hear old winter's song

But I miss you most of all, my darling

When autumn leaves start to fall

I see your lips, the summer kisses

The sunburned hand I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long

And soon I'll hear old winter's song

But I miss you most of all, my darling

When autumn leaves start to fall

EVA CASSIDY

BLUE SKIES

Blue skies smiling on me

Nothing but blue skies do I see

Blue birds singing a song

Nothing but blue skies from now on.

I never saw the sun shining so bright

When you re in love everything s right

Watching all the days hurrying by

When you re in love my how they fly

Those blue days all of them gone

And nothing but blue sky from now on

EVA CASSIDY

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS

When you're weary, feeling small

When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;

I'm on your side. When times get rough

And friends just can't be found,

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

When you're down and out,

When you're on the street,

When evening falls so hard

I will comfort you.

I'll take your part.

When darkness comes

And pain is all around,

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down.

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Sail on silvergirl

Sail on by.

Your time has come to shine.

All your dreams are on their way.

If you need a friend

I'm sailing right behind.

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind.

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind.

EVA CASSIDY

CHEEK TO CHEEK

Heaven, I'm in heaven

and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, heaven, I'm in heaven

and the cares that hung around me through the week

Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, I love to go out fishing

in an ocean or a creek

But it wouldn't thrill me half as much as

dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, I love to climb a mountain

and reach the highest peak

But it wouldn't thrill me half as much as

dancing cheek to cheek

Won't you come and dance with me

I want my arms about you

The charms about you

will carry me through

To heaven, I'm in heaven

The cares that hung around me through the week

Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, won't you come and dance with me

I want my arms about you

The charms about you

will carry me through

To heaven, I'm in heaven

The cares that hung around me through the week

seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak

Oh, when we're out together

out together

When we're out together

dancing cheek to cheek

EVA CASSIDY

DANNY BOY

Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.

From Glenn to Glenn and down the mountain side.

The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying.

'Tis you, 'tis you must go, and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow.

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.

'Tis I'll be there in Sunshine or in Shadow

Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying

And I am dead, as dead I well may be.

You'll come and find the place where I am lying.

And kneel and say an Ave for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me

And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be.

If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

DARK END OF THE STREET (BONUS TRACK)

EVA CASSIDY

DARK EYED MOLLY

Deep and dark are my true love's eyes,

Blacker still is the winter's turning,

As the sadness of parting proves.

And brighter now is the lantern burning

That lightens my path to love.

No fiddle tune will take the air,

But I will see his swift feet dancing

And the swirl of his dark brown hair,

His smiling face and his dark eyes glancing

As we stepped out Blinkbonny Fair.

And if my waiting prove in vain,

Then I will pack and track ever take me.

The long road will ease my pain.

No jewel of mankind would ever make me

Whisper love's words again.

For in drink I'll seek good company,

My ears will ring with the tavern's laughter,

And I'll hear not his last sweet sigh.

And who's to know in the morning after

How I long for his dear dark eyes

How I long for his dear dark eyes

How I long for his dear dark eyes

EVA CASSIDY

DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE

I've been down one time

And I've been down two times

But right now I'm drowning

Drowning in the sea of love

I've been out here for so very long

I've lost all my direction

Baby, when you came my way

I thought I had found my protection

But a strong wind came into my life

It surely took me by surprise

I can't seem to control these tears

That are falling from my eyes

I've been down one time

And I've been down two times

But right now I'm drowning

Drowning in the sea of love

Sea of love

Baby, I depended on you

For our love navigation

Now you've gone and deserted me

Can't you see that I'm in desperation

I'm in the middle of a bad love storm

Ooh yeah I wasn't ready for

I look around and all I can see

Is water pouring over me

I've been down one time

And I've been down two times

But right now I'm drowning

Drowning in the sea of love

I've been out here for so very long

I've lost all my direction

Baby, when you came my way

I thought I had found my protection

But a strong wind came into my life

It surely took me by surprise

I can't seem to control these tears

That are falling from my eyes

I've been down one time

And I've been down two times

But right now I'm drowning

Drowning in the sea of love

Drowning in the sea of love

EVA CASSIDY

EARLY MORNING RAIN

In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand

And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand

I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so

In the early morning rain with no place to go

Out on runway number nine, big seven o seven set to go

But I'm stuck here on the ground with a cold wind that grows

You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train

So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain

Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high

She's away and westward bound, far above my home she'll fly

Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines

She'll be flying that's my home in about three hours time

In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand

And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand

I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so

In the early morning rain with no place to go

In the early morning rain with no place to go

EVA CASSIDY

EASY STREET DREAM

It's Sunday morning

I can feel inside the facts

You shake out your body

And you wake up what's late

You spent too much money last night

And I had too much to drink

Spending too much time with myself

And I don't know what to think

Any love is easy

Falls down like rain

Any love is easy

Goes out with a bad name

Any love that you find on easy street

Can only be a dream

Any love that you find on easy street

Can only be a dream

It was only for pleasure

Our love took a backseat

My heart went crazy

And my whole life skipped a beat

Shallow deed took motion down to kill it after a taste

Staring to the future now I can only see your face

Any love is easy

Falls down like rain

Any love is easy

Goes out with a bad name

Any love that you find on easy street

Can only be a dream

Any love that you find on easy street

Can only be a dream

Only a dream

Only a dream...

FEVER

Never know how much I love you, never know how much I care

When you put your arms around me, I get a fever that's so hard to bear

You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight

Fever in the the morning, fever all through the night.

Bless my soul I love you, take this heart away

Take these arms I never use them

And just believe what I might have to say

You give me fever when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight

Fever in the the morning, fever all through the night.

Listen to me baby, hear every word I say

No one can love you the way that I do

Cause they don't know how to love you in my way

You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight

Fever in the the morning, fever all through the night.

Sun lights up the daytime, the moon lights up the night

My eyes light up when you call my name, because I know you're gonna treat me right

You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight

Fever in the the morning, fever all through the night.

When you kiss me, fever all through the night

Fever all through the night.

FIELDS OF GOLD

You'll remember me when the west wind moves

Upon the fields of barley

You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky

As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love

For to gaze awhile

Upon the fields of barley

In his arms she fell as her hair came down

Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love

Among the fields of barley

We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky

As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so

Upon the fields of barley

Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth

Among the fields of gold

I never made promises lightly

And there have been some that I've broken

But I swear in the days still left

We'll walk in the fields of gold

We'll walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days

Among the fields of barley

See the children run as the sun goes down

Among the fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves

Upon the fields of barley

You can tell the sun in his jealous sky

When we walked in the fields of gold

When we walked in the fields of gold

When we walked in the fields of gold

FINE AND MELLOW

My man don't love me

He treats me so mean

My man don't love me

He treats me so mean

Well he's the, lowest man

That I've ever seen

He wears high trimmed pan

Stripes are really yellow

Well he wears high trimmed pan

Stripes are really yellow

But when he starts to love me

He's so fine and mellow

Love will make you gamble

And stay out all night long

Love will make you gamble

And stay out all night long

Love will make you do things

You always thought was wrong

But if you treat me right baby

I ll stay home everyday

Said if you treat me right baby

I ll stay home everyday

But you're so darned mean

I just know you're gonna drive me away

But if you treat me right baby

I ll stay home everyday

Said if you treat me right baby

I ll stay home everyday

But you're so darned mean

I just know you're gonna drive me away

Love is like a faucet

It turns off and on

Love is like a faucet

It turns off and on

Sometimes when you think it's on baby

It s turned off and gone

GOD BLESS THE CHILD

Them that's got shall get

Them that's not shall lose

So the Bible said and it still is news

Mama may have, Papa may have

But God bless the child who's got his own

Who's got his own

Yes, the strong gets more

While the weak ones fade

Empty pockets don't ever make the grade

Mama may have, Papa may have

But God bless the child who's got his own

Who's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends

Hanging round your door

Then it's gone, and the money ends

They don't come along no more

Rich relations give

Crust of bread and such

You can help yourself baby

Oh don't you take too much

Mama may have, Papa may have

But God bless the child who's got his own

Who's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends

Hanging round your door

Then it's gone, and the money ends

They don't come along no more

Rich relations give

Crust of bread and such

You can help yourself baby

Oh don't you take too much

Mama may have, Papa may have

But God bless the child who's got his own

HALLELUJAH, I JUST LOVE HIM

Let me tell you 'bout a boy I know

He's my baby and he lives next door

And every morning when the sun comes up

He brings me coffee in my favorite cup

That's why I know

Yes I know

Hallelujah, I just love him so

When I call him on the telephone

And tell him that I'm all alone

By the time I count from one to four

I hear him knockin' on my door

In the evenin' when the sun goes down

And there is nobody else around

He kisses me and he holds me tight

And whispers Baby, everything is alright

That's why I know

Yes I know

Hallelujah, I just love him so

When I call him on the telephone

And tell him that I'm all alone

By the time I count from one to four

I hear him knockin' on my door

In the evenin' when the sun goes down

And there is nobody else around

He kisses me and he holds me tight

And whispers Baby, everything is alright

That's why I know

Yes I know

Hallelujah, I just love him so

Yeah, Hallelujah, I just love him so

Oh, Hallelujah, I just love him so

My honeysuckle rose

Fly was dropping side when you re passing by

And I know the reason why

You re much sweeter goodness knows

You re much sweeter goodness knows

You re my honeysuckle rose

EVA CASSIDY

I CAN ONLY BE ME

Butterflies begin

From having been another

As a child is born, from being in a mother's womb

But how many times have you wished you were some other

than someone who you really are

Yeah who's to say that if all were uncovered

You will like what you see

You can only be you

Cause I can only be me

Flowers cannot bloom

Until it is their season

As we would not be there

Unless it was our destiny

But how many times have you wished to be in spaces

Time places than what you were

Yeah who's to say that unfamiliar places

You could anymore be loving you that you see

You can only be you

Cause I can only be me

EVA CASSIDY

I KNOW YOU BY HEART

Midnights in Winter

The glowing fire

Lights up your face in orange and gold.

I see your sweet smile

Shine through the darkness

It s line is etched in my memory.

So I'd know you by heart.

Mornings in April

Sharing our secrets

We'd walk until the morning was gone.

We were like children

Laughing for hours

The joy you gave me lives on and on.

'Cause I know you by heart.

I still hear your voice

On warm Summer nights

Whispering like the wind.

(Oh oh ohh )

You left in Autumn

The leaves were turning

I walked down roads of orange and gold.

I saw your sweet smile

I heard your laughter

You re still here beside me every day.

'Cause I know you by heart,

'Cause I know you by heart.

EVA CASSIDY

EVA CASSIDY

I WANDERED BY A BROOKSIDE

I wandered by a brookside

I wandered by a mill

I could not hear the water

The murmuring it was still

Not a sound of any grasshopper

Nor the chirp of any bird

But the beating of my own heart

Was the only sound I heard

The beating of my own heart

Was the only sound I heard

Then silent tears fast flowing

When someone stood beside

A hand upon my shoulder

I knew the touch was kind

He drew me near and nearer

We neither spoke one word

But the beating of our own two hearts

Was the only sound I heard

The beating of our own two hearts

Was the only sound I heard

EVA CASSIDY

I WISH I WAS A SINGLE GIRL AGAIN

When I was single

I went dressed up so fine

Now I am married Lord

And I go ragged all the time

Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again.

I got dishes to wash

And springs to go to

When you are married, Lord

You know you got it all to do.

Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again.

Yeah, Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again.

Yeah, Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again.

IMAGINE

Imagine there's no heaven,

It's easy if you try,

No hell below us,

Above us only sky.

Imagine all the people,

Living for today.

Imagine there's no countries,

It isn't hard to do,

Nothing to kill or die for,

And no religion too.

Imagine all the people,

Living life in peace yu huh.

You may say that I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us,

And the world will live as one.

Imagine no possessions,

I wonder if you can,

No need for greed or hunger,

A brotherhood of man.

Imagine all the people,

Sharing all the world yu huh.

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us,

And the world will live as one.

You may say that I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us,

And the world will live as one.

EVA CASSIDY

IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE

There you go baby, here am I baby.

You left me here so I could sit and cry.

Golly gee, what have you done to me?

I guess it doesn't matter any more

Do you remember baby, last September

How you held me tight, each and every night

Oh baby, how you drove me crazy

I guess it doesn't matter any more

There ain't no use in me a cryin'.

I've done everything and I'm sick of tryin'.

I've thrown away my nights,

Wasted all my days over you

Now you go your way baby I'll go mine

Now and forever till the end of time

I'll find somebody new baby, we'll say we're through

Won't matter anymore

There ain't no use in me a cryin'.

Cause I've done everything and I'm sick of tryin'.

I've thrown away my nights,

Wasted all my days over you

Now you go your way baby I'll go mine

Now and forever till the end of time

I'll find somebody new baby, we'll say we're through

You won't matter anymore

You won't matter anymore

You won't matter anymore

IT DON'T MEAN A THING (IF IT AIN'T GOT THAT SWING)

Doo ah, doo ah, doo ah, doo ah, doo ah

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing

Doo ah, doo ah, doo ah, doo ah, doo ah

Everything you've got

Well it makes no difference

Cause you just got to give that rhythm

Everything you've got

KATHY'S SONG

I hear the drizzle of the rain

Like a memory it falls

Soft and warm continuing

Tapping on my roof and walls

My mind s distracted and confused

My thoughts are many miles away

They lie with you when you re asleep

Kiss you when you start the day

And as I watch the drops of rain

Weave their weary paths and die

I know that I am like the rain

There before the grace of you go I

NEED YOUR LOVE SO BAD

feat. Chuck Brown

I need someone s hand to lead me through the night

I need someone s arms to hold and squeeze me tight

And when the night begins and until it ends

Oh baby I need your love so bad

I need someone s lips to feel next to mine

I need someone to stand up and tell me when I m lying

And when the lights are low and till it s time to go

Mmm I need your love so bad

So go home and give it up baby, bring it on home to me

Write it on a piece of paper so that it can be read to me

Tell me that you love me, stop driving me mad

Oh 'cause I need, I need your love so bad

I need a soft voice to talk to me at night

Don t you worry baby, we won t fuss and fight

So listen to my plea and bring it on home to me

So tell me that you love me, please stop driving me mad

'Cause I need, I need your love so bad

I need a soft voice to talk to me at night

Well don t you worry baby, we won t fuss and fight

So listen to my plea and bring it on home to me

Ohh I need your love so bad

Ohh because I need your love so bad

Ohh I need, ohh I need your love so bad, oh yeah.

Bill and I got married following our first born

Daddy left this gas & convenience store just before he died

And I was only nineteen when I had my third baby

And sometimes I think maybe I should ve left here long ago

Travellers are stopping by, check their oil and their p.s.i.

Gas up and away to fly, moving down the line

But this beat up truck & worn out shoes always give me the blues

Billy sucking down the booze nearly every night

Chorus

I never seen the city lights

How they must shine so bright

Not like this country night

The sky s black as coal

And this gas station mountain home

Not a thing to call my own

How I wish I was alone

With a penny to my name

Strangers say this mountain here is beautiful beyond compare

But it s just a dumb old mountain; I see it every day

If I could see sunset skies over fields of green or ocean tides,

City skyline in the night, I ll be dancing till the dawn

Chorus

Bill and I got married following our first born

Daddy left this gas & convenience store just before he died

Maybe Bill & I someday will find a chance to get away

Until then it s here I ll stay wishing on a star

Chorus

EVA CASSIDY

SAY GOODBYE

It s funny how the distance can make you feel close

And the things you lost are the things you want most

The weather s fine here perfect shade of blue

I guess that s why I ve been thinking of you

Chorus

So I call you up just to tell you why

Why I left you and say goodbye

Ooh must be the mood I m in

I m thinking of you again

I call you up just to tell you why

Why I left you and say goodbye

I know you re different now and I guess I changed too

And I thought what was once so right was so wrong for you

Yesterday I was talking and I heard your name

The weather s fine here with a slight chance of rain

Chorus

Time makes you sorry for the things that you ve done

Sometimes you walk away and sometimes you run

And the weather s fine here; I can feel a slight chill

Somethings change babe and some never will

Chorus

I call you up just to tell you why

To say I love you and to say goodbye

EVA CASSIDY

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high

In the land that I heard of once

Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue

And the dreams

That you dare to dream

Really do come true

Someday I wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where troubles melt like melon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you find me

Someday I wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you find me

Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue

And the dreams

That you dare to dream

Really do come true

If happy little bluebirds fly

Above the rainbow, why

Oh, why can't I?

EVA CASSIDY

SONGBIRD

For you there ll be no crying

For you the sun will be shining

'Cause I feel that when I m with you

It s alright, I know it s right

And the songbirds keep singing

Like they know the score

And I love you, I love you, I love you

Like never before

To you, I would give the world

To you, I d never be cold

'Cause I feel that when I m with you

EVA CASSIDY

STILL NOT READY FOR GOOD TIMES

Don't make fun we've just begun

Let's not play just for today

Take it slow you'll have to go

I think we're through

I'm still not ready for good times

Don't ask me why

Never try laughter before sorrow

Cross the room let's not assume

We can't forgive the way we've been

It's getting cold now so please close the open door

And all the windows on my soul

EVA CASSIDY

STORMY MONDAY

They call it stormy Monday but Tuesday s just as bad

They call it stormy Monday but Tuesday s just as bad

Wednesday is worse and Thursday s also sad

The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play

The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play

Sunday I go to church, hmm ,

That s when I get down on my knees and pray

I said Lord have mercy,

Oh Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me

Yeah Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me

Don t you know I m just trying to find my baby

Won t somebody please send him on home to me

Oh yeah

Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me,

Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me,

Don t you know I m just trying to find my baby

Won t somebody please send him on home to me

EVA CASSIDY

TAKE ME TO THE RIVER

I don t know why I love you like I do

After all the changes you put me through

Stole my money, my cigarettes

I haven t seen the worst of it yet

I wanna know boy, won t you tell me

Tell me how can I stay here with you

Chorus

Won t you take me to the river

Wash me down

Take me to the river

Put my feet back on the ground

I don t know why you treat me so bad

After all the good times that we ve had

You re sixteen candles that burn on my wall

Now who s the biggest fool of us all

I wanna know, won t you tell me

Tell me how can I stay here with you

Chorus

Hold me squeeze me love me

And you can tease me

Till I can t take it no more

Oh yeah yeah yeah

I don t know why I love you like I do

After all the changes you put me through

Love is a notion I can t forget

My sweet sixteen I would never regret

I wanna know, won t you tell me

Tell me how can I stay here with you

Chorus x2

EVA CASSIDY

TALL TREES IN GEORGIA

Tall trees in Georgia,

They grow so high

They shade me so

And sadly walking

Through the thicket I go

The sweetest love I ever had

I left aside

Because I did not want

To be any man s bride

But now I m older

And married I would be

I found my sweetheart

But he would not marry me

When I was younger

The boys all came around

But now I m older

And they ve all settled down

Control your mind my girl

And give your heart to one

For if you love all men

You ll be surely left with none

Tall trees in Georgia,

They grow so high

They shade me so

And sadly walking

Through the thicket I go

EVA CASSIDY

TENNESSEE WALTZ

I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz

When an old friend I happened to meet

I had a new distance to my darling, while they were dancing

My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz

I know now just what I have lost

Yes, I lost my little darlin'

The night they were playin the beautiful Tennessee Waltz

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz

I know now just what I have lost

Yes, I lost my little darlin'

The night they were playin the beautiful Tennessee Waltz

Oh the beautiful Tennessee Waltz

EVA CASSIDY

THE LETTER

Sell me a ticket for that airplane

I ain t got time to take a fast train

Lonely days are gone I m coming home

My baby wrote me a letter

Bridge

And I don t care how much I gotta spend

I gotta get back to my baby again

Lonely days are gone I m coming home

My baby wrote me a letter

Chorus

Well he wrote me a letter

Said he couldn t live without me no more

Ohh listen Mister can you see

I gotta get back to my baby once more anyway

Bridge

Chorus

Bridge

Sell me a ticket for that airplane

I ain t got time to take a fast train

Lonely days are gone I m coming home

EVA CASSIDY

THE WAITING IS OVER

EVA CASSIDY

THE WATER IS WIDE

The water is wide I can not get o'er

And neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that will carry two

And both shall row my love and I

O love is handsome and love is fine

And love's a jewel when it's first new

But love grows old then waxes gold

And fades away like morning dew

There is a ship it's sailing the sea

It's loaded deep as deep can be

But not so deep as the love I'm in

I know not if I sink or swim

The water is wide I can not get o'er

And neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that will carry two

And both shall row my love and I

And both shall row my love and I

EVA CASSIDY

TIME AFTER TIME

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick

And think of you

Caught up in circles confusion

Is nothing new

Flashback warm nights

Almost left behind

Suitcases of memories

Time after

Sometimes you picture me

I'm walking too far ahead

You're calling to me, I can't hear

What you've said

Then you say go slow

I fall behind

The second hand unwinds

Chorus

If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting

Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has

Turned to gray

Watching through windows you're wondering

If I'm OK

Secrets stolen from deep inside

The drum beats out of time

Chorus

You said go slow

I fall behind

The second hand unwinds

Chorus

Time after time

Time after time

Time after time

Time after time

EVA CASSIDY

TIME IS A HEALER

I found a picture of your smiling face

Bringing old memories that I had locked away

The burden of anger from a heart filled with pain

Was finally lifted and I smile at you again

Chorus

If time is a healer

Then all hearts that break

Are put back together again

'Cause love heals the wound it makes

I spoke such harsh words before goodbye

Well I wanted to hurt you for the tears you made

You made me cry

All my hopes and dreams, well they started vanishing

Those tender hurt feelings became a dangerous thing

Chorus

All of the years we spent together

Well they re part of my life forever

I hold the joy with the pain

And the truth is I miss you my friend

Chorus

TRUE COLORS

You with the sad eyes

Don't be discouraged

Oh I realize

It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it all

And the darkness there inside you

Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors

Shining through

See your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful,

Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,

Don't be unhappy, can't remember when I last saw you laugh

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up

Because you know I'll be there

And I see your true colors

Shining through

See your true colors

That's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful,

Like a rainbow

Ohhhh

I can't remember when I last saw you laugh

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up

Because you know I'll be there

And I see your true colors

Shining through

See your true colors

That's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful,

Like a rainbow

WAYFARING STRANGER

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

While journeying through this world of woe;

And there s no sickness, toil nor danger

In that bright world to which I go.

I m going there to see my Father,

I m going there no more to roam;

I m only go going over Jordan,

I m only go going over home.

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me,

I know my way is rough and steep;

And beautiful fields lie just before me,

Where God s redeemed there vigils keep.

I m going there to see my Father,

I m going there no more to roam;

I m only go going over Jordan,

I m only go going over home.

I m going there to see my mother,

I m going there no more to roam;

I m only go going over Jordan,

I m only go going over home.

I want to wear that crown of glory,

When I get home to that good land;

Well I want to shout salvation s story,

In concert with ohh the blood washed band,

I m going there to see my Saviour,

I m going there no more to roam;

I m only go going over Jordan,

I m only go going over home.

Well I m only go going over home.

Yeah only go going over home.

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

I see trees that are green, red roses too

I watch them bloom for me and you

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow

They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know

And I think to myself, ohh what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces of the people passing by

I see friends shaking hands, saying, how do you do?

But they're really saying, I love you

I see trees that are green and red roses too

I watch them bloom for me and you

And I think to myself, oh what a wonderful world

<instrumental>

WHEN IT'S TOO LATE

EVA CASSIDY

WOODSTOCK

I came upon a child of God

He was walking along the road

And I asked him Tell me where are you going?

This he told me

I'm going down to Yasgur's farm

Gonna join in a rock and roll band

Got to get back to the land

And get my soul free

We are stardust, we re golden

And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

Can I walk along beside you

I have come here to lose the smog

And I feel like I m a part

Of something turning round and round

And maybe it s the time of year

Maybe it's the time of man

And I don't know who I am

But life is for learning ...

We are stardust, we re golden

And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock

We were half a million strong

And everywhere was the song

And the celebration

And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes

Riding shotgun in the sky

And they were turning into butterflies

Above our nation ...

We are stardust, we re golden

And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

EVA CASSIDY

YESTERDAY

Oh yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away.

Now I need a place to hide away.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half the girl I used to be.

There is a shadow hanging over me

Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why he had to go, I don't know,

He wouldn't say.

Oh I said some things wrong,

Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday

Love was such an easy game to play.

Now I need a place to hide away.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why he had to go, I don't know,

He wouldn't say.

I said some things wrong,

Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday

Love was such an easy game to play.

Now I need a place to hide away.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

EVA CASSIDY

YOU ARE

EVA CASSIDY

YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY

Sometimes it amazes me

How strong the power of love can be

Sometimes you just take my breath away

You watch my love grow like a child

Sometimes gentle and sometimes wild

Sometimes you just take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by

Too good to lose

Too good to be there

Just to use

I'm gonna stand on a mountain top

And tell the news

That you take my breath away

Sometimes it amazes me

How strong the power of love can be

Sometimes you just take my breath away

Your beauty is there in all I see

And when I feel your eyes on me

Oh don't you know you just take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by

Too good to lose

Too good to be there

Just to use

I'm gonna stand on a mountain top

And tell the news

That you take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by

Too good to lose

Too good to be there

Just to use

I'm gonna stand on a mountain top

And tell the news

That you take my breath away

EVA CASSIDY

YOU'VE CHANGED

Baby we both know

The things have really changed between us

You've changed

That sparkle in your eyes is gone

Your smile is just a careless yawn

It's all over now, you've changed

You've changed

Your kisses now are so blase

You're bored with me in every way

You're breaking my heart you've changed

You've forgotten the words I love you

Each memory that we've shared

You ignore every star above you

I can't realise that you ever cared

You've changed

You're not the angels I once knew

No need to tell me that we're through

It's all over now, you've changed

You've forgotten the words I love you

Each memory that we've shared

You ignore every star above you

I can't realise you ever cared

You've changed

That sparkle in your eyes is gone

Your smile is just a careless yawn

It's all over now, you've changed

Yes it's over now, you've changed

(Now it's over, you've changed)

It's over baby
