Bee
Gees-First of May
When
I was small
and
Christmas trees were tall,
we
used to love while others used to play.
Don't
ask me why,
but
time has passed us by,
someone
else moved in from far away.
Now
we are tall,
and
Christmas trees are small,
and
you don't ask the time of day.
But
you and I,
our
love will never die,
but
guess we'll cry,
come
first of May.
The
apple tree
that
grew for you and me,
I
watched the apples falling one by one.
And
I recall the moment of them all,
the
day I kissed your cheek
and
you were gone.
Now
we are tall,
and
Christmas trees are small,
and
you don't ask the time of day.
But
you and I,
our
love will never die,
but
guess we'll cry,
come
first of May.
When
I was small
and
Christmas trees were tall,
do
do do do, do do do do.
Don't
ask me why,
but
time has passed us by,
someone
else moved in from far away.

Demis Roussos-Rain And Tears
Rain and tears (are) all the same
But in the sun you've got to play the game
When you cry in winter time
You can't pretend it's nothing but the
rain
How many times I've seen
Tear's coming from you blue eyes
Rain and tears (are) all the same
But in the sun you've got to play the game
Written
the moods of love
I
need the moods of love
Rain and tears in the sun
But in your heart you feel the rainbow waves
Rain and tears both rush home(I shun)
For in my heart there'll never be the sun
Rain and tears (are) all the same
But in the sun you got to play the game
Eric Carmen-Al by myself
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Living alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't want to be all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live all by myself anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't want to be all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live all by myself anymore
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself
Don't want to be all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to be all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to be all by myself anymore
