When a man loves a woman lyrics

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd change the world 
for the good thing he's found
If she's bad he can't see it,
she can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
if he put her down

When a man loves a woman
Give her everything that he has
Trying to hold on to her precious love
Baby, please don't leave me now

When a man loves a woman
[Down deep] in her soul
She can bring him such [love], [such] misery

[interlude]

When a man loves a woman
Give her everything that he has
Trying to hold on to [your] precious love
Baby, please don't leave me now

When a man loves a woman
[she can do no wrong

[Tell her that he loves her]
.....
She can bring him such misery
[do do do do]

[She can bring him such misery
She can bring him such love]

Stand by me lyrics

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

So darling, darling, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh my darling, darling stand by me

[interlude]

If the sky, that we look upon
should just tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble
Into the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry
Oh I wouldn't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh my darling, darling stand, stand by me

So darling, darling, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh my darling, darling stand, stand by me

Love me tender lyrics

Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
and I love you so

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling, I love you
And I always will

Love me tender, love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I'll be yours through all the years
Till the end of time

Love me tender, love me long
Take me to your heart
For its there, that I belong
And we'll never part

Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
and I love you so

Love me tender, love me long
Take me to your heart
For its there, that I belong
And we'll never part

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling, I love you
And I always will

The great pretender lyrics

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretendin 'I'm doin' well
My need is such
I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughin and gay like a clown
I seem to be
What I'm not, you see

I'm wearing my heart like a crown

[interlude]

I play the game
But, to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone

Stormy weather lyrics

Don't know why, 
there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my lady and I
ain't together
Keeps raining all the time

Life is bare,
gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together
I'm weary all the time

When she went away
The blues walked in to get me
And if she stays away
My rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray, the lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more

Can't go on, everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my lady and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time

[interlude]

Don't know why, 
there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my lady and I
ain't together
Keeps raining all the time

Life is bare,
gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together
I'm weary all the time

I'm weary all the time

I'm weary all the time

I almost lost my mind lyrics

When I lost my baby
I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby
I almost lost my mind
My head is in a spin
Since I left you behind

And my head is in a spin
Since I left you behind

[??.....??]

My head is in a ...
Since I left you behind

....is in a spin
Since  ...

[interlude]

When I lost my baby
I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby
I almost lost my mind

My head is in a spin
Since I left you behind

My head is in a spin
Since I left you behind

My my my....

[interlude]

My head is in a spin
Since I left you behind

When I lost my baby
I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby
I almost lost my mind
My head is in a spin
Since I left you behind

My head is in a spin
Since I left you behind
Since I left you, since I left you behind

Marie Jolie lyrics

Sometimes I feel
that I'm all alone
and I wonder what I'd do
if I couldn't care for you
You are all my life
and more
take this love I give
Oh Marie Jolie
Oh Marie Jolie

The seasons change
but love remains
growing like a rose in spring
all the summer love can bring
I just find my life
when I'm with you
you are all I have
Marie Jolie
Marie Jolie

[interlude]

I know there'll be
sad times for me
That as long as you are there
I know that I'll need not to care
Love is everywhere you are
my life is the girl
Marie Jolie

Smoke gets in your eyes lyrics

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh .....
I of course replied
Something here inside
Cannot be denied

So, they said someday you find
All who love are blind
Oh .....
When my heart's on fire
You must realise
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them
And I gaily laughed
To think you would doubt my love
Yet today
My love  has flown away
I am without my love

Now, laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So .....
Si I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes

[interlude]

So they said someday you find
All who love are blind
Oh .....
When your hearts on fire
You must realise
Smoke gets in your eyes

[interlude]

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh .....
I of course replied
Something here inside
Cannot be denied

So, they said someday you find
All who love are blind
Oh .....
When my heart's on fire
You must realise
Smoke gets in your eyes

As time goes by lyrics

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say 'I love you'
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight or love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jelousy and hate
Woman needs man,
and man must have his mate
But no one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

[interlude]

Moonlight or love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jelousy and hate
Woman needs man,
and man must have his mate
But no one can deny

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

[interlude]

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
