Don't know why There's no sun up in the sky Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all of the time Oh, yeah Life is bad Gloom and misery everywhere Stormy weather, stormy weather And I just can get my poor self together Oh, I'm weary all of the time The time, so weary all of the time When he went away The blues walked in and met me Oh, yeah if he stays away Old rocking chair's gonna get me All I do is pray The Lord will let me Walk in the sun once more Oh, I can't go on, can't go on, can't go on Everything I have is gone Stormy weather, stormy weather Since my man and I, me and my daddy ain't together Keeps raining all of the time Oh, oh, keeps raining all of the time Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah raining all of the time Stormy stormy Stormy weather Yeah

This Masquerade (Leon Russell Cover) 04:49
lyrics
buy track
Are we really happy here With this lonely game we play? Looking for words to say Searching but not finding understanding anywhere We're lost in a masquerade Both afraid to say we're just too far away From being close together from the start We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way We're lost inside this lonely game we play Thoughts of leaving disappear Every time I see your eyes No matter how hard I try To understand the reasons that we carry on this way We're lost in a masquerade

I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter And make believe it came from you I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet They're gonna knock me off my feet Kisses on the bottom I'll be glad I've got 'em I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better" And sign "with love" the way you do I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter And make believe it came from you I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter And make believe it came from you I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet They're gonna knock me off my feet Kisses on the bottom I'll be glad I've got 'em I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better" And sign "with love" the way you do I'm gonna sit right down, write myself a letter And make believe it came from you

Georgia, Georgia The whole day through (the whole day through) Just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind) I said Georgia Georgia A song of you (a song of you) Comes as sweet and clear As moonlight through the pines Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you I said Georgia Oh Georgia, no peace I find (no peace I find) Just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind) Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you Whoa-whoa, Georgia Georgia No peace, no peace I find Just an old, sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind) I said just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind

Night In The City (Joni Mitchell Cover) 04:22
lyrics
buy track
Light up, light up Light up your lazy blue eyes Moon's up, night's up Takin' the town by surprise Night time, night time Day left an hour ago City light time Must you get ready so slow There are places to come from and places to go Night in the city looks pretty to me (night in the city looks pretty to me) Night in the city looks fine (night in the city looks fine) Music comes spilling out into the street (music comes spilling out into the street) Colors go flashing in time Take off, take off Take off your stay-at-home shoes Break off, shake off Chase off those stay-at-home blues Stairway, stairway Down to the crowds in the street They go their way Looking for faces to greet But we run on laughing with no one to meet Night in the city looks pretty to me (night in the city looks pretty to me) Night in the city looks fine (night in the city looks fine) Music comes spilling out into the street (music comes spilling out into the street) Colors go waltzing in time

Fly me to the moon Let me play among the stars And let me see what spring is like on A-Jupiter and Mars In other words Hold my hand In other words Baby, kiss me Fill my heart with song And let me sing forever more You are all I long for All I worship and adore In other words Please, be true In other words I love you Fill my heart with song Let me sing forever more You are all I long for All I worship and adore In other words Please, be true In other words In other words I love You

Almost Like Being In Love (David Brooks and Marion Bell Cover) 03:17
lyrics
buy track
What a day this has been! What a rare mood I'm in! Why, it's almost like being in love There's a smile on my face For the whole human race Why it's almost like being in love All the music of life seems to be Like a bell that is ringing for me And from the way that I feel When the bell starts to peal I would swear I was falling I could swear I was falling It's almost like being in love

Love Is Here To Stay (Kenny Baker Cover) 03:03
lyrics
buy track
The more I read the papers The less I comprehend The world with all it's capers And how it all will end Nothing seems to be lasting But that isn't our affair We've got something permanent I mean in the way we care It's very clear Our love is here to stay Not for a year But ever and a day The radio and the telephone And the movies that we know May just be passing fancies And in time may go But, oh my dear, Our love is here to stay Together we're going a long, long way In time the Rockies may crumble Gibraltar may tumble They're only made of clay But our love is here to stay It's very clear Our love is here to stay Not for a year But ever and a day The radio and the telephone And the movies that we know May just be passing fancies And in time may go But, oh my dear Our love is here to stay Together we're going a long, long way In time the Rockies may crumble Gibraltar may tumble They're only made of clay But our love is here to stay.
