The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

SOMEDAY , one day
Time's not so far away
We can share the dreams we've had
Oh, someday, ooh-ooh-ooh!
Hey, there, look in the mirror
Tell me, what do you see before you?
I see someone to be proud of
I see someone that I love
Someday, one day
Time's not so far away
We can share the dreams we've had
Oh, someday, ooh-ooh-ooh!
People say you're a dreamer
What do they know of what you're thinkin'?
If you believe in what you're doin'
Then believe in what I say
Someday, one day
Time's not so far away
We can share the dreams we've had
Oh, someday, ooh-ooh-ooh!
I know you feel discouraged
Sometimes things move very slowly
And I know that you feel like movin'
Feel like goin', feel like doin'
Someday, one day
Time's not so far away
We can share the dreams we've had
Oh, someday; oh, someday; oh, someday
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.
SOMEDAY I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Way above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

I see a change is coming to our lives
It's not the same as it used to be
And it's not too late to realise our mistake
We're just not right for each other
Love has slipped away left us only friends
We almost seem like strangers
All that's left between us are the memories we shared
Of times we thought we cared for each other
There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind us
And maybe SOMEDAY, somewhere along the way
Another love will find us
Some day when she's older, maybe she will understand
Why her mom and dad are not together
The tears that she will cry when I have to say goodbye
Will tear at my heart forever
There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind us
And maybe SOMEDAY, somewhere along the way
Another love will find us
There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
You were so blind to let me go
You had it all but did not know
No one you'll find will ever be
Closer to all your dreams than me
Believing the grass would be greener
You told yourself "I just don't need her now"
But I know you'll soon discover
You're never satisfied with any other
SOMEDAY ooh SOMEDAY
The one you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
SOMEDAY hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
You'll change your mind and call my name
Soon as you find they're all the same
And when you find yourself alone
Don't come back crying
You should have known
Believe me I'm not pretending
It's not hard to predict
This ending now
'Cause I know you'll soon discover
You're needing me in spite of all the others
SOMEDAY ooh SOMEDAY
The one you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
SOMEDAY hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
SOMEDAY ooh SOMEDAY
The one you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
SOMEDAY hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
Maybe now you just can't conceive
That there will ever come a time when you're cold and lonely
Baby, how could you ever believe
That another could replace me, the one and only
But when your down in your time of need
And you're thinking that you might be coming back to own me
Just think again 'cause
I won't need your love anymore!
SOMEDAY ooh SOMEDAY
The one you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
SOMEDAY hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
SOMEDAY ooh SOMEDAY
The one you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
SOMEDAY hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
SOMEDAY ooh SOMEDAY
The one you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
SOMEDAY hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score

First thing I remember was asking papa, why
For there were many things I didn't know
And daddy always smiled and took me by the hand
Saying, someday you'll understand
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young
'Cause someday never comes
Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust
For there were many things I didn't know
When daddy went away, he said, try to be a man
And someday you'll understand
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young
'Cause someday never comes
And then one day in April, I wasn't even there
For there were many things I didn't know
A son was born to me Mama held his hand
Sayin' someday you'll understand
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young
'Cause someday never comes
Ooo someday never comes
Think it was September, the year I went away,
For there were many things I didn't know
And still I see him standing, tryin' to be a man
I said, someday you'll understand
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young
'Cause someday never comes
Ooo someday never comes

(How does she stay looking so good ??)
I can't figure you out
But a heart must be the one thing you were born without
I've been wasting my time
I don't know where I'll sleep tonight
You say that you can do without me
Go ahead now try and live without me
Baby save up all your tears
You might need them SOMEDAY
When the tears start to fall
I won't wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby, save up your tears
'Cause you'll be crying over me
You got used to my touch
I got used to not, not feeling much
Winter set in your eyes
Time will melt your castle of ice
You think that you won't feel the pain now
Your eyes will be crying like the rain now
Baby save up all your tears
You might need them SOMEDAY
When the tears start to fall
I won't wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby, save up your tears
'Cause you'll be crying over me
You'll be crying
You'll be crying over me
You don't know it now
You don't know it now
You don't know it now
You don't know it now
You don't know it now
But some wounds get deeper with time
You don't feel it now
Till the need burns, a knife turns
Your heart bleeds like mine
Baby save up all your tears
You might need them SOMEDAY
When the tears start to fall
I won't wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby, save up your tears
'Cause you'll be crying over me

SOMEDAY we're gonna love again
SOMEDAY we're gonna love again
When we broke up I still wore a smile
I told myself you'd only gone for a while
But in my heart I grinned, I held up my chin
Because I knew SOMEDAY we're gonna love again
SOMEDAY we're gonna love again
SOMEDAY we're gonna love again
SOMEDAY we're gonna love again
I didn't worry 'bout it when you left
I knew that I could take care of myself
You wouldn't be gone long and nothin' could go wrong
Because I knew SOMEDAY we're gonna love again
SOMEDAY we're gonna love again
SOMEDAY we're gonna love again
SOMEDAY we're gonna love again
You just told me that your love hasn't changed
And that's why I'd like to arrange to see you again
I don't know when but I do know that SOMEDAY we're gonna love again
SOMEDAY we're gonna love again
SOMEDAY we're gonna love again
SOMEDAY we're gonna love again
SOMEDAY
Somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere
There's a time for us
Someday there'll be a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn
Time to care
SOMEDAY
Somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere
There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow
SOMEDAY
Somewhere

Goin' to a party,
Meet me on after school
Well we're goin to a place where the jive is really cool
And if the band stops a playin'
There's a jukebox down the hall
And with your blue dress on, your folks all gone
You're sure to give the guys a ball
Get that real guitar boy shakin',
I'm a CALIFORNIA man,
Dance right on till the floors are breakin'
I'm a CALIFORNIS man
Well I rocked my mamma so bad
This a woman's she's a making me mad
Well I don't care if her legs start aching,

Oh my legs start to shiver when I hear you call my name
Well, my knees keep a knockin'
And my bow tie's bustin' out
When my feet start to fly,
An' my jeans slung way down low
You know I'm back on my heels and it's making me feel

Seven lonely days
And a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night and you were gone
Don't know why you'd run
What you're running to or from
All I know is I want to bring you home
So I'm walking in the rain
Thumbing for a ride
On this lonely KENTUCKY back road
I've loved you much too long
My love's too strong
To let you go, never knowing
What went wrong
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through
With the rain in my shoes (rain in my shoes)
Searchin' for you
In the cold KENTUCKY rain
In the cold KENTUCKY rain
Showed your photograph
To some old gray-bearded men
Sitting on a bench outside a gen'ral store
They said "yes, she's been here"
But their memory wasn't clear
Was it yesterday?
No, wait, the day before?
Finally got a ride
With a preacher man who asked
"Where you bound on such a cold dark afternoon?"
As we drove on through the rain
As he listened, I explained
And he left me with a prayer
That I'd find you
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through
With the rain in my shoes (rain in my shoes)
Searchin' for you
In the cold KENTUCKY rain
In the cold KENTUCKY rain
In the cold KENTUCKY rain
In the cold KENTUCKY rain

I left my home in Norfolk VIRGINIA
CALIFORNIA on my mind
I straddled that Greyhound
And rode into Raleigh and on across Caroline
We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle
Halfway across ALABAMA
And that hound broke down and left us all stranded
In downtown Birmingham
Right away I brought me a through train ticket
Ridin' across MISSISSIPPI clean
I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham
Smoking into New Orleans
Somebody help me get out of LOUISIANA
Just help me get to Houston Town
There are people there, who care a little about me
And they won't let the poor boy down
Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit
Put luggage in my hand
And I woke up high over Albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land
Working on a T-bone steak a la carte
Flying over to the golden state
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
He would set us at the terminal gate
Swing low chariot come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines and cool your wings
And let me make it to the telephone
Los Angeles give me Norfolk VIRGINIA
Tidewater four ten o nine
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
And the poor boy is on the line

Night and you
And blue HAWAII
The night is heavenly
And you are heaven to me
Lovely you
And blue HAWAII
With all this loveliness
There should be love
Come with me
While the moon is on the sea,
The night is young
And so are we, so are we
Dreams come true
In blue HAWAII
And mine could all come true
This magic night of nights with you

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night.
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
'This could be heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel CALIFORNIA
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face.
Plenty of room at the Hotel CALIFORNIA
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say"
Welcome to the Hotel CALIFORNIA
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face.
They livin' it up at the Hotel CALIFORNIA
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said, 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
'Relax' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'

Feel I'm goin' back to MASSACHUSETTS
Something's telling me I must go home
And the lights all went out in MASSACHUSETTS
The day I left her standing on her own
Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco
Gotta do the things I wanna do
And the lights all went out in MASSACHUSETTS
They brought me back to see my way with you
Talk about the life in MASSACHUSETTS
Speak about the people I have seen
And the lights all went out in MASSACHUSETTS
And MASSACHUSETTS is one place I have seen
I will remember MASSACHUSETTS

Oh the yellow rose of TEXAS is the only girl I love
Her eyes are even bluer than TEXAS skies above
Her heart's as big as TEXAS and wherever I may go
I'll remember her forever because I love her so
There are so many roses that bloom along the way
But my heart's in Amarillo
and that's where it will stay
With the yellow rose of TEXAS
so I'd better get there fast
'Cause I know I was her first love and I want to be her last
Oh the yellow rose of TEXAS is the only girl I love
Her eyes are even bluer than TEXAS skies above
Her heart's as big as TEXAS and wherever I may go
I'll remember her forever because I love her so
The eyes of TEXAS are upon you all the live long day
The eyes of TEXAS are upon you, you cannot get away
Do not think you can escape them
at night or early in the morn
The eyes of TEXAS are upon you
'till Gabriel blows his horn
The eyes of TEXAS are upon you all the live long day
The eyes of TEXAS are upon you, you cannot get away
Do not think you can escape them
at night or early in the morn
The eyes of TEXAS are upon you

The eyes of TEXAS are upon you, you cannot get away
Do not think you can escape them
at night or early in the morn
The eyes of TEXAS are upon you

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in OHIO
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

Well East coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Mid-West farmer's daughters really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
I wish they all could be CALIFORNIA girls
I wish they all could be CALIFORNIA
I wish they all could be CALIFORNIA girls
The West coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tanned
I dig a french bikini on HAWAIIN island dolls
By a palm tree in the sand
I been all around this great big world
And I seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the States
Back to the cutest girls in the world
I wish they all could be CALIFORNIA girls
I wish they all could be CALIFORNIA

Georgia, Georgia
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
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
Ooh Georgia, 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, Georgia
Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
I said just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Turn it up
Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the south-land
I miss 'ole' 'bamy once again
And I think it's a sin, yes
Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well I heard old Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow
Sweet home ALABAMA
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home ALABAMA
Lord, I'm coming home to you
In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor, boo hoo ooo
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
Sweet home ALABAMA
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home ALABAMA
Lord, I'm coming home to you, here I come ALABAMA
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two

They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how bout you?
Sweet home ALABAMA
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home ALABAMA

Sweet home ALABAMA, oh sweet home
Where the skies are so blue and the Governor's true
Sweet home ALABAMA
Lord, I'm coming home to you, yeah yeh
He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hanging by a song
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changing fast and it don't last for long
But the COLORADO rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky mountain high (COLORADO)
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
And the COLORADO rocky mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land
And the COLORADO rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high
It's COLORADO rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
Rocky mountain high
Rocky mountain high
Rocky mountain high
Rocky mountain high
Rocky mountain high
Rocky mountain high

A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
By a line that he drew with his sword as the battle drew nigh
A man that crossed over the line was for glory
And he that was left better fly
And over the line crossed 179
Hey Up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below
So the rest of TEXAS will know
And remember the Alamo
Jim Bowie lay dying, his blood and his powder were dry
But his knife at the ready to take him a few in reply
Young Davy Crocket lay laughing and dying
The blood and the sweat in his eyes
For TEXAS and freedom no man was more willing to die
Hey Up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below
So the rest of TEXAS will know
And remember the Alamo
A courier came to a battle once bloody and loud
And found only skin and bones where he once left a crowd
Fear not little darling of dying
If this world be sovereign and free
For we'll fight to the last for as long as liberty be
Hey Up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below
So the rest of TEXAS will know
And remember the Alamo
Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the street
They're dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
Up in New York City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging swaying records playing
Dancing in the street
Oh it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on ev'ry guy grab a girl
Ev'rywhere around the world
They'll be dancing
They're dancing in the street
It's just an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing, singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street
Philadelphia, PA ⬅️
Baltimore and D.C. now
Can't forget the Motor City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street
Oh it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on ev'ry guy grab a girl
Ev'rywhere around the world
Dancing
They're dancing in the street
Way down in L.A.
Every day
Dancing in the street

Blue moon
Blue moon
Blue moon, keep a-shinin' bright
Blue moon, keep on a-shinin' bright
You're gonna bring-a me back-a my baby tonight
Blue moon, keep a-shinin' bright
I said blue moon of KENTUCKY, keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
I said, blue moon of KENTUCKY, keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
A-well-a, it was on one moonlight night
Stars shinin' bright
Whispered on high
Love's said goodbye
Blue moon of KENTUCKY, keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Well I said, blue moon of KENTUCKY, just keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
I said, blue moon of KENTUCKY, keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
A-well-a, it was on one moonlight night
Stars shinin' bright
Whispered on high
Love's said goodbye
Blue moon of KENTUCKY, keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Got on board a westbound seven forty-seven
Didn't think before deciding what to do
Oh, that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours
Out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
I'm underloved, I'm underfed, I want to go home
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours
Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?
Had offers but didn't know which one to take
Please don't tell 'em how you found me
Don't tell 'em how you found me
Gimme a break, give me a break
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours

I asked my love to take a walk
To take a walk, just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the OHIO
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the OHIO
I held a knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
He cried "my love, don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity"
I wandered home 'tween twelve and one
I cried, "My God, what have I done?"
I've killed the only man I love
He would not take me for his bride
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the OHIO

Start spreadin' the news, I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I wanna to wake up, in a city that doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
These little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New York
New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm a number one, top of the list
King of the hill, a number one
These little town blues, are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York
And
If I can make it there
I'm gonna make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York
New York
New York
I can't believe we all missed this one.

Where you can hear a country song this fall
And someone plays a honky-tonk guitar
Where all the lights will go out, one by one
The people join the song and the wind takes it away
Where the MISSISSIPPI rolls down to the sea
And lovers found a place they'd like to be
How many times before the song was ending
Love and understanding, everywhere around
MISSISSIPPI, I'll remember you
Whenever I should go away
I'll be longing for the day
That I will be in Greenville again
MISSISSIPPI, you'll be on my mind
Everytime I hear this song
MISSISSIPPI, you roll along until the end of time.
Now the country song, forever lost its soul
When the guitar player turned to Rock 'n' Roll
And everytime when summer nights are falling
I always will be calling,
Dreams of yesterday.
MISSISSIPPI, I'll remember you
Whenever I should go away
I'll be longing for the day
That I will be in Greenville again
MISSISSIPPI, you'll be on my mind
Everytime I hear this song
MISSISSIPPI, you roll along until the end of time.
Everytime i hear this song
MISSISSIPPI, you roll along until the end of time.
Brand new state, Brand new state, gonna treat you great!
Gonna give you barley, carrots and pertaters,
Pasture fer the cattle, Spinach and Termayters!
Flowers on the prairie where the June bugs zoom,
Plen'y of air and plen'y of room,
Plen'y of room to swing a rope!
Plen'y of heart and plen'y of hope!
OKLAHOMA, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain,
And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.
OKLAHOMA, ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk makin' lazy circles in the sky.
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand!
And when we say, yeeow-yip-i-o-ee ay!
We're only sayin' You're doin' fine, OKLAHOMA! OKLAHOMA, okay

I love plays, I love musicals and every opportunity that I have, I belt out the chorus to OKLAHOMA at full blast. When I sing as loud as I can, I convince myself that I am able to hit the impossible notes, spot on! Oh, and when I'm singing OKLAHOMA, I have specific hand movements for the wavin' wheat and the hawk makin' lazy circles in the sky. I'm a party waiting to happen!
The lonesome TEXAS sun was setting low
And in the rear view mirror I watched it go
I can still see the wind in her golden hair
I close my eyes for a moment, I'm still here
The bluest eyes in TEXAS
Are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill
The midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind
(Where did I go wrong)
Did I wait too long
Or can I make it right
The bluest eyes in TEXAS
Are haunting me tonight
Another town, another hotel room
Another dream that ended way too soon
Left me lonely way before the dawn
Searching for the strength to carry on
The bluest eyes in TEXAS
Are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill
The midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind
(Where did I go wrong)
Did I wait too long
Or can I make it right
The bluest eyes in TEXAS
Are haunting me tonight
For every heart you break
You pay a price
But I can't forget the tears
In her blue eyes
The bluest eyes in TEXAS
Are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill
The midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind
(Where did I go wrong)
Did I wait too long
How can I make it right
The bluest eyes in TEXAS
Are haunting me tonight
The bluest eyes in TEXAS
Are haunting me tonight

On days like these - Matt Monroe (from the Italian Job)
only registered users can see external links
On days like these when skies are blue and fields are green
I look around and think about what might have been
And then I hear sweet music float around my head
As I recall the many things we left unsaid
And its on days like these that I remember
Singing songs and drinking wine
While your eyes play games with mine
On days like these I wonder what became of you
Maybe today you are singing songs with someone new
I'd like to think you're walking by those willow trees
Remembering the lovely youth on days like these
And its on days like these that I remember
Singing songs and drinking wine
While your eyes play games with mine
On days like these I wonder what became of you
Maybe today you are singing songs with someone new
When I think of those East End lights, muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore
We've all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor
And SOMEONE saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye
I never realized the passing hours of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the morning
Damn it listen to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive
And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your H.P. demands forever
They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
SOMEONE saved my life tonight, SOMEONE saved my life tonight
SOMEONE saved my life tonight, SOMEONE saved my life tonight
SOMEONE saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field you play alone

The way she held your hand
The little things you planned
Her memory is with you yet
That's SOMEONE you never forget
When she is far away
You'll think of her each day
And you know she'll wait for you
That's SOMEONE you never forget
Others may pass your way
And let you think their love is true
But you know that they'll never replace
The one that waits for you
So long, I've been looking too hard, I've been waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find, I only know it's a matter of time
When you love SOMEONE, when you love SOMEONE
It feels so right, so warm and true, I need to know if you feel it too
Maybe I'm wrong, won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?
This heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I want to be sure
I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
I've been waiting for SOMEONE new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
You're so good, when we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word can say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love SOMEONE, yeah, really love SOMEONE
Now, I know it's right, from the moment I wake up till deep in the night
There's nowhere on earth that I'd rather be than holding you tenderly
I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
I've been waiting for SOMEONE new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I've been waiting, waiting for you, ooh
Ooh, I've been waiting
(Waiting) I've been waiting
(I've been waiting for a girl like you, I've been waiting) won't you come into my life?
Aah-aah-aah

Who is the fox - I am the fox
Who are you - I am me
Who is me - Me is a thief
You'll bring your poor, poor mother grief
So after the fox, after the fox
Off to the hunt with chains and locks
So after the fox, after the fox
SOMEONE is always chasing after the fox
Where is the gold - It's on the truck
Where's the truck - I won't tell
You must tell - Then I will lie
You'll make your poor, poor sister cry
So after the fox, after the fox
Off to the hunt with chains and locks
So after the fox, after the fox
SOMEONE is always chasing after the fox
Why do you steal - So I'll be rich
Why not work - Work is hard
You'll be caught - I never fail
All little crooks wind up in jail - Not me not me
So after the fox, after the fox
Off to the hunt with chains and locks
So after the fox, after the fox
SOMEONE is always chasing after the fox
After the fox
After the fox

There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb
There's a somebody I'm longin' to see
I hope that he turns out to be
SOMEONE who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could, always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although he may not be the man
Some girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
SOMEONE to watch over me
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
SOMEONE to watch over me
SOMEONE to watch over me

I finally found SOMEONE, that knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one, that makes me feel complete
We started over coffee, we started out as friends
It's funny how from simple things, the best things begin
This time it's different, dah dah dah dah
It's all because of you, dah dah dah dah
It's better than it's ever been
'Cause we can talk it through
Oh, my favorite line was "Can I call you sometime?"
It's all you had to say to take my breath away
This is it, oh, I finally found SOMEONE
SOMEONE to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night
'Cause whatever I do, it's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found SOMEONE, oh, SOMEONE
I finally found SOMEONE, oh
Did I keep you waiting, I didn't mind
I apologize, baby, that's fine
I would wait forever just to know you were mine
And I love your hair, are you sure it looks right?
I love what you wear, isn't it too tight?
You're exceptional, I can't wait for the rest of my life
This is it, oh, I finally found SOMEONE
SOMEONE to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night
'Cause whatever I do, it's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found SOMEONE, oh, SOMEONE
I finally found SOMEONE, oh
Whatever I do, it's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found SOMEONE
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
SOMEONE like you makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
SOMEONE like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself
If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way just to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
SOMEONE like you makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
SOMEONE like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself
SOMEONE like you makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself
SOMEONE like you makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
SOMEONE like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself
SOMEONE like you makes it hard to live without

Where the boys are
SOMEONE waits for me,
A smiling face, a warm embrace,
Two arms to hold me tenderly
Where the boys are
My true love will be,
He's walking down some street in town
And I know he's looking there for me
In the crowd of a million people
I'll find my valentine,
Then I'll climb to the highest steeple
And tell the world he's mine
'Til he holds me
I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, SOMEONE waits for me
'Til he holds me
I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, SOMEONE waits for me
Only you could ever know
How hard it was for me to let you go
Hard to face all those nights
And suffer thru all the fools advice
Seems tome it's not so bad
To try for the kind of love that we had
Oh I need that romance
One that grows strong
When it's got no chance
Now you're gone away
And I'm left to carry on
Ain't nobody else gonna bear up to comparison
And if I can't have the real thing
Then I've got to find SOMEONE
Just like you
What you got it's what you need
There's pain in that but it's plain enough to see
I know I was satisfied
But nobody else came out of my side
I hope SOMEONE will come today
Somebody like you
SOMEONE to take me all the way
Somebody like you
SOMEONE to take your place
Somebody like you
SOMEONE to fill this empty space
