skeeter davis - above and beyond

I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love's something that money can't buy

Well a poor boy's chances for a pretty girl's glances are sometimes very few
Though you got no money I'll be your honey if you swear that you'll be true
I'll give you love that's above...
[ steel - strings ]
We met by chance and I knew at a glance that I'd found my destiny
Now I wanna carry you off and marry you if you will agree
I'll give you love that's above...

skeeter davis - ain 039 t had no lovin 039

Ain't done one single thing this morning except for crying all alone
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't gonna get no lovin' till you come home
Nothin's been the same since you left me
Everything has gone from right to wrong
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't gonna get no lovin' till you come home

Smiles of yesterday now find me cryin'
The red and golden rainbow turned to blue
With every breath I take I think I'm dyin'
Life just ain't worth livin' when I ain't got you
Each and every day I've spent without you
Is one more hurtin' lonely day too long
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't gonna get no lovin' till you come home
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't gonna get no lovin' till you come home

skeeter davis - al di la

La la la la la la la la la
[ strings ]
Al-di-la means you are far above me very far
Al-di-la as distant as the lovely evening star
Where you walk flowers bloom when you smile the gloom turn to sunshine
And my heart's opened wide when you're gone it fades inside
And seems to have died
Al-di-la I wonder as I drifted where you were
Al-di-la the fog around me lifted there you were
And the kiss that I gave was the love I have saved for the lifetime
Then I knew all of you was completely mine
[ piano ]
And the kiss that I gave was the love I have saved for the lifetime
Then I knew all of you was completely mine
[ strings ]
La la la la la la la la la

skeeter davis - all of me

All of me why not take all of me can't you see I'm no good without you
Take my lips I want to lose them take my arms I'll never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry how can I go on without you
You took the part that once was my heart so why not take all of me
[ piano - strings ]
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry how can I go on dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart so why not take all of me

skeeter davis - angel of the morning

There'll be no strings to bind your hands not if my love can't bind your heart
And there's no need to take a stand for it was I who chose to start
I see no reason to take me home I'm old enough to face the dawn
Just call me angel of the morning angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me baby
Just call me angel of the morning angel then slowly turn away from me

Maybe the sun's light will be dim and it won't matter anyhow
If morning's echo says we've sinned well it was what I wanted now
And if we're victims of the night I won't be blinded by the light
Just call me angel of the morning angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me baby
Just call me angel of the morning angel then slowly turn away
I won't beg to stay with me
Through the tears of the days of the years
Baby baby just call me angel...

skeeter davis - another you

I know there'll never ever be another you
Just when I thought that you were mine alone you told me there was someone new
Now it's so hard to think of finding someone else
I know there'll never ever be another you
I can't forget the moments that we shared and all the the happiness we knew
Now as I sit alone with all my memories I know there'll never ever be another you
I know there'll never ever be lips as sweet as yours
I know there'll never ever be another you
I know it's hopeless to go on this way but what is said for me to do
I've lost the only one that I have ever loved
I know there'll never ever be another never ever be another
Never ever be another never ever be another you

skeeter davis - ask me

Ask me to make a mountain small ask me to make a valley tall
Ask me ask anything at all but don't ask me to forget you
Don't ask me to forget about you
Ask me to stop the birds that fly ask me to make the flowers die
Ask me and anything I'll try but don't ask me to forget you
Don't ask me to forget about you
Ask me to stop the hands of time to say the sun won't shine to end this life of mine
Never ask me to forget about you never ask me to forget about you
Ask me to stop the rivers flow ask me to dim the skies that glow
I'll try most anything you know but don't ask me to forget you
Don't ask me to forget about you
[ ac.guitar ]
Ask me to stop the hands of time to say the sun won't shine to end this life of mine
Never ask me to forget about you never ask me to forget about you

skeeter davis - baby sweet baby

Without you my life is so empty I'm sad and I'm blue as can be
Just a little sad girl in a big lonely world without you there's no love for me
Baby sweet baby I love you so oh why did you go
Baby sweet baby baby please come back to me
[ guitar ]
We had a quarrel and you left me and I've cried ever since you've been gone
Come on home like you should and I'll love you so good
For without you I just can't go on
Baby sweet baby...

skeeter davis - before i met you

I thought I had seen handsome men in my time that was before I met you
I never saw one that I wanted for mine that was before I met you
I thought I was standing on top of the world I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you

I wanted to ramble and always be free but that was before I met you
I said that no man could ever hold me but that was before I met you
I thought I was standing...
[ mandolin ]
They tell me I'll reap just what I have sown but darling I hope that's not true
For once I made plans about living alone but that was before I met you
I thought I was standing...
Yes that was before I met you

skeeter davis - before i 039 m over you

I just can't get it through my head you love another now instead
Can't make myself believe we're really through
I'm walking up and down the hall I'm talking to the silent wall
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you
I think I've almost lost my mind I think about you all the time
I'm going crazy yes I know and I don't have far to go
The way you treat me is a shame but I'll keep loving you the same
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you
[ ac.guitar ]
I keep your letters I should burn I wear your ring I should returned
There's a million foolish things I do
It makes me cry but you would laugh to know I kiss your photograph
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you
I think I've almost lost my mind...

skeeter davis - blueberry hill

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill on Blueberry Hill when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill and linger until my dreams came true
Though wind in the willows plays love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made were never to be
Though we're apart you're a part of me still for you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
[ strings ]
Though wind in the willows plays...
Yes you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

skeeter davis - born to love you

Born to love you born to love you born to love you till I die
My life was empty so blue and alone
Then you've put your hand in mine and I knew why I was born
Born to love you born to love you born to share your smiles and tears
Born to be near if you need me dear born to love you till I die

I used to wonder what life held in store
Then you held me in your arms and now I wonder no more
Born to love you...

skeeter davis - both sides now

Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feathered canyons everywhere I'd look at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun they rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done the clouds got in my way
I'd look at clouds from both sides now from up and down and still somehow
It's cloud delusion I recall I really don't know cloud at all
[ guitar ]
Moons and Junes and fairy squeels the dizzi dancing way you feel
Is every fairytale complete I'd look at love that way
But now it's just another show we've been laughin' when you go
And if you care don't let them know don't give yourself away
I'd look at love...

Tears and fears and feeling proud say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I'd look at love that way
But now old friends are acting strange they shake their heads they say I'd change
But something's lost and something's gained in living every day
I'd look at love...

skeeter davis - bridge over troubled water

When you're weary feeling small when tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I'm on your side oh 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
[ fiddle ]
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
[ fiddle - banjo ]
Sail on country boy sail on by your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine 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

skeeter davis - bring it on home

Lately most every evenin' you kiss me when you leave an'
And say your work has got behind
Well I'm tired of stay in home an' waitin' for you alone an'
Somewhere we've got to draw the line
I'm not accusin' you an' what kinda work you're doin'
But when it comes to love that's mine

Bring it on home bring it on home bring it on home
Bring it on home bring it on home
Ain't had no love since you've been gone
Bring it on home bring it on home bring it on home
Bring it on home bring it on home

Night after night you walk in too tired for even talkin'
And that's all I get to see of you
But honey I'm a woman you're needed here at home an'
You've got to do your homework too
So when a little lovin' it's what you're thinkin' of an'
Maybe you know just what to do

Bring it on home bring it on home bring it on home...

I need your sweet love I need your tender love
Oh baby won't you bring it won't you bring it on home
