(Lyrics)

The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads every place we go
So won't you please

Be my, be my baby, be my little baby
My one and only baby
Say you'll be my darling

Be my, be my baby,
Be my baby now
My one and only baby

I'll make you happy, baby
Just wait and see
For every kiss you give me
I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you till eternally

So won't you please

Be my, be my baby, be my little baby
My one and only baby
Say you'll be my darling

Be my, be my baby,
Be my baby now
My one and only baby

Be my, be my baby, be my little baby

My one and only baby
Say you'll be my darling

Be my, be my baby,
Be my baby now
My one and only baby

Be my, be my baby, be my little baby

My one and only baby
Say you'll be my darling

Be my, be my baby,
Be my baby now
My one and only baby

Oooooo...

Byt the time I get to Phoenix - Glen Campbell (1967 live) (with lyrics)

"By the Time I Get to Phoenix" is an American pop song written by Jimmy Webb, originally recorded by Johnny Rivers, in 1965. It became famous by Glen Campbell, whose version reached 3 on the U.S. Pop charts in 1967. 





(Lyrics)

By the time I get to Phoenix 
She'll be rising

She'll find the note 

I left hangin' on her door
And she'll laugh when she reads the part 

That says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque 

She'll be working
She'll prob'ly stop at lunch 

And give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone 

Keep on ringin' off the wall 

That's all

By the time I make Oklahoma 

She'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly 

Call my name out loud
And she'll cry 

Just to think I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time 

I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know 

I would really go.

She didn't know 
 I would really go

By the time I get to Phoenix - Johnny Rivers (1965) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

By the time I get to Phoenix 
She'll be risin'
She'll find the note
That I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part
That says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque
She'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch
And give me a call
She'll hear that empty phone
Keep on ringin' off the wall
That's all.

By the time I make Oklahoma
She'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly
And call my name out loud
She'll cry to think
That I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time again
I've tried to tell her so

She didn't know that I would really go

She just didn't know...

Romance - Johnny Rivers (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Hey, tell me tonight
Just how you've been living with him
Oh, you're my baby now
Nobody else, nobody else
Will do, like you

Romance, give me a chance
Romance, give me a chance

Blue, falling rain
I came undone, I came undone
So don't push me tonight
Taking it hard, taking it hard
And I might cry

Romance, give me a chance
Romance, give me a chance

(Instrumental)

Sweet smoke of love hear me
I want

Romance, give me a chance
Romance, give me a chance

Romance, give me a chance

(Instrumental)

Taking it hard, taking it hard

Summer rain - Johnny Rivers (1967 - 1968 live) (with lyrics)

 live 1968





(Lyrics)

Summer rain taps at my window
West wind soft as a sweet dream
My love warm as the sunshine
Sittin' here by me,
She's here by me

She stepped out of the rainbow
Golden hair shinin' like moon glow
Warm lips soft as a soul
Sitting here by me, yeah
She's here by me

All summer long we spent dancin' in the sand
And the jukebox kept on playin' 

"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

We sailed into the sunset
Drifting home caught by a gulf stream
Never gave a thought for tomorrow
Just let tomorrow be, now
Let tomorrow be

(Instrumental)

She wants to live in the Rockies
She says that's where we'll find peace
Settle down, raise up a fam'ly
To call our own, yeah
We'll have a home

All summer long we spent groovin' in the sand
Everybody kept on playin' 

"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

The snow drifts by my window
North wind blowin' like thunder
Our love's burnin' like fire
And she's here by me, yeah
She's here with me
Let tomorrow be

I need your lovin' - Johnny Rivers (1965 live) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Baby, I need your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Although you're never near
Your voice I often hear

Another day, another night
I long to hold you tight
'Cause I'm so lonely

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Every night I call your name
Oh, sometimes I wonder, girl, 

Will I ever be the same?

When you see me smile you know
Things are just gettin' worse
Any smile you might see, baby
Has all been rehearsed
Baby, I can't go on without you
This loneliness won't let me live without you
This emptiness inside me, baby
Makes me feel half alive

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Uh, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Swaying to the music - Johnny Rivers (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

It's late at night and we're all alone
Just the music on the radio
No one's coming, no one's gonna telephone
Just me and you and the lights down low

And we're
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world

Just you, girl

And we just flow together when the lights are low
Shadows dancing now across the wall
Music is playing so soft and slow
Rest of the world so far away and small

And we're
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world

Hold me, oh, oh, hold me
Don't ever let me go

As we dance together in the dark
So much love in this heart of mine
Whisper to me and I hold you tight
You're the one I thought I'd never find

Now we're 

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my, my, my, my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world

Oh, my, girl

When a man loves a woman - Johnny Rivers (1967) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

(Lights!)

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found

If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
He turns his back on his best friend 

If he puts her down

Yes, When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs

He'd give up all of his comforts
Yes, and sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It´s gotta be

Well, this man loves the woman
(yes I do)
I give her everything I have
Trying to hold on to her kind of love
Why if she treat me bad?

When a man loves a woman
I´ve talked about it down deep in the soul
She can bring him such misery

If she´s playing  for a fool
He's the very last one to know
Loving eyes can never see

Yes, when a man loves a woman
Oh, he spends his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs

He'd give up all of his comforts
Oh, that fool sleeps out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It´s gotta be

(Instrumental)

When a man loves a woman
I need it down deep in the soul

It's too late - Johnny Rivers (1967) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

I remember when I told you
I would try in every way
To hold you, and love you
And kiss you and keep you
Till my dying day

You just laughed
Said you found somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you

And now you tell me
That your new love
Isn´t true
Like he should be
You say that you´re gonna forget him
And you´re gonna come back to me

But things have changed
I got me somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you
I´m telling you

That it´s too late
To say you´re sorry
It´s too late
To say you´re mine
I have found myself a new love
And I´m gonna make her mine

It´s too late
It´s too late

Many days I tried to call you
Many nights I sat alone
Everyone knew that I loved you
But you had a love of your own

And now that he´s gone
You think you can come back to me
I´m not the same fool
That I used to be
And you´re gonna see

That it´s too late
To say you´re sorry
It´s too late
To say you´re mine
I have found myself a new love
And I´m gonna make her mine

It´s too late
It´s too late
To say you´re mine, 

ha, ha ,ha

ha, ha, ha

I remember when I told you
I would try in every way
To hold you, and kiss you
And keep you, baby
Till my dying day

But you just laughed, ha
Said you found somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you

And then you tell me
That this new love
Isn´t true
Like he should be
You say that you´re gonna forget him
And you´re gonna come back to me

But things have changed
I got me somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you
I´m telling you

That it´s too late
To say you´re sorry
It´s too late
To say you´re mine
I have found myself a new love
And I´m gonna make her mine

It´s too late
It´s too late

To say you´re mine, ha, ha, ha

It´s too late
To say you´re sorry
It´s too late
To say you´re mine
I have found myself a new love
And I´m gonna make her mine

It´s too late
It´s too late

To say you´re mine, ha, ha, ha

(Lyrics)

There's a man who leads a life of danger.

To everyone he meets he stays a stranger.

With every move he makes another chance he takes.

Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

Secret Agent Man

Secret Agent Man

They've giving you a number and taken away your name.

Beware of pretty faces that you find.

A pretty face can hide an evil mind.

Oh, be careful what you say,

Or you will give yourself away.

Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow.

Secret Agent Man

Secret Agent Man

They've giving you a number and taken away your name.

Secret Agent Man

Secret Agent Man

They've giving you a number and taken away your name.

Swinging on the Riviera one day.

And then later in the Bombay Alan next day.

I know you let the wrong words slip,

While kissing persuasive lips.

The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow.

Poor side of town - Johnny Rivers (1966 live) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

How can you tell me how much you miss me?
When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me
That rich guy you've been seein'
Must have put you down
So welcome back baby
To the poor side of town

To him you were nothin', but a little plaything
Not much more than an overnight fling
To me you were the greatest thing this boy had ever found
And, girl, it's hard to find nice things
On the poor side of town

I can't blame you for tryin'
I'm tryin' to make it too
I've got one little hang up, baby
I just can't make it without you

So tell me, are you gonna stay now?
Will you stand by me, girl, all the way now?
With you by my side
They can't keep us down
Together we can make it, baby
From the poor side of town

(So tell me how much you love me)
(Come be near to me and say you need me now)

Oh, with you by my side
This world can't keep us down
Together we can make it baby
From the poor side of town

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

(Lyrics)

Do you wanna dance and hold my hand ? 
Tell me that I'm your man
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Do you wanna dance under the moonlight ?
Squeeze and kiss me all through the night
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

And do you wanna dance, girl, and hold my hand ?
Tell me that I'm your man
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Do you wanna dance under the moonlight ?
Love me, girl, all through the night
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Girl, now, do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance ? 
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance ? 
Do you, do you wanna dance ?

Now, do you wanna dance and hold my hand ? 
Tell me that I'm your man
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Yes, do you wanna dance I mean under the moonlight ?
Squeeze and kiss me all through the night
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Girl, now, do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance ? 
Do you ,do you, do you, do you wanna dance ? 
Do you, do you wanna dance ?
Oh, do you wanna dance, oh, my girl,

Baby, do you wanna dance ? ye, ye

Do you wanna dance all night?
Do you wanna dance under the moolinght?

Save the last dance for me - Lennon and Nilsson (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

You can dance every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile every smile for the man
Who held your hand near the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh, darling... save the last dance for me

Yes, I know that the music is fine
Like sparklin' wine, go and have your fun
Laugh and sing, but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh, darling... save the last dance for me

Baby, don't you know I love you so?
Can't you feel it when we touch?
Baby, don't you know I'll never let you go?
I need you, oh, so much

You can dance, go and carry on
Till the night is gone, and it's time to go
And If he asks if you're all alone
Can he take you home, you must tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh, darling... save the last dance for me
So darling... save the last dance for me

Everybody's talking - Harry Nilsson (1969 live) (with lyrics)

Theme from the movie "Midnight Cowboy"






(Lyrics)

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain
Going where the weather
Suits my clothes

Backing off of the North East wind
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean
Like a stone

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh, oh

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain
Going where the weather
Suits my clothes

Backing off of the North East wind
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean
Like a stone

Everybody's talking at me
I can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

I won't let you leave
My love behind
No, I won't let you leave

Oh, oh...
I won't let you leave
My love behind

I won't let you leave

Without you - Harry Nilsson (1971) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there, but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know?

I can't live,
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore

I can't live

If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore

Well, I can't forget this evening
Nor your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

I can't live,
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore

I can't live

If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore

If living is without you

(Happy Xmas, Yoko
Happy Xmas, John)

So, this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you'll have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one

And, so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so, happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas

(Lyrics)

Mother, you had me, but I never had you
I wanted you, you didn't want me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Father, you left me, but I never left you
I needed you, you didn't need me

So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Woman - John Lennon (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Woman, I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all, I'm forever in your debt
And woman, I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success

Ooooh, ooooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooooh, ooooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Woman, I know you understand
The little child inside of the man
Please, remember my life is in your hands
And woman, hold me close to your heart
However distant don't keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars

Ooooh, ooooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooooh, ooooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Well

Woman, please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again

I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah

Jealous guy - John Lennon (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

I was dreaming of the past,
And my heart was beating fast,
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control.

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I made you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I was feeling insecure,
You might not love me anymore,
I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside,

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I made you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

(whistling)

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I made you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I was tryin' to catch your eye,
Thought that you was tryin' to hide,
I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I made you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I'm just a jealous guy,
I'm just a jealous guy.

Stand by me - John Lennon (subtitled in spanish)(with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

When the night has come
And the land is dark,
And the moon is the only light we'll see.
No, I won't be afraid,
No, I won't be afraid,
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me,
Oh, na na, stand by me,
Stand by me, stand by me.

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall,
And the mountain should crumble to the sea.
I won't cry, I won't cry,
No, I won't shed a tear,
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.

And darlin' darlin' stand by me,
Oh, stand by me,
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by meWhenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me,
Oh,  na na, stand by me,
Whoa stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darlin', darlin', stand by me,
Ih, stand by me,
Oh, Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me,
Ih, na na stand by me,

Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Imagine - John Lennon (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

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

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 be 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

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
