Subject: Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #24

_____________________________________________________________________________
Everybody's doing it whether they are old or young
Because they're tired of doing the monkey
Tired of doing the swim
#01)

When you leave me
My golden rainbow disappears
And you leave me
A broken heart that's full of tears
#02)

I wanna tell you pretty baby
Your lips look sweet
I'd like to kiss them
But I can't break away
#03)

I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
#04)

My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
#05)

Your sweet chimes
Love to hear
Bring my baby
Oh, my baby back to me
#06)

Ask me for the world
It doesn't seem much
Ask me for the moon, dear
And I'll reach out to touch
#07)

They used to laugh about dying
But deep inside them they knew
That pretty soon they'd be lying
Beneath the ground together
#08)

She used to love me, that I know
And it don't seem so long ago
That we were walking
And we were talking
The way lovers do
#09)

You think she's a prize at the start
But take my advice, play it smart
She's nothing but trouble
Better cut out on the double
Before she gets into your heart
#10)

You were always something special to me
Quite independent, never caring
You lost your charm as you were aging
Where is your magic disappearing?
#11)

I know I shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay
Until you've gone forever
I'll be holding on for dear life
#12)

Hearts go astray
Leaving hurt when they go
I went away just when you, you needed me so
#13)

Oh, I would be glad
Just to have a love like that
Oh, I would be true
And I'd live my life for you
#14)

I've been told
Baby, you've been bold
I won't be your fool no more
#15)

Come on, take me by the hand
Tell me I'm your lover man
We'll have fun, just we two
You for me, me for you
#16)

No rabbits in his hat
No pigeons up his sleeve
#17)

The moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do
But cry-y-y-y over you
#18)

I wouldn't try to own your soul
You can be free
I only want you here each night loving me
#19)

I can't live without you
I love everything about you
I can't help it if I feel this way
#20)

You, with your masquerading
And you, always contemplating what to do
In case happiness found you
Can't you see that it's all around you?
So follow me
#21)

It's not the way you smiled that touched my heart
It's not the way you kiss that tears me apart
#22)

Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
At any convenient time
#23)

How can Mary tell me what to do
When she lost her love so true?
And Flo, she don't know
'Cause the boy she loves is a Romeo
#24)

Emptiness
Is a place you're in
With nothing to lose
But no more to win
#25)
