GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #446 (GOLQ446)
Welcome to the March quiz!
I had thought about making a quiz devoid of lyrics, using trivia
questions instead. However, I changed my mind and came up with
this lyrics based quiz which has a theme for songs #01 through #25.
The theme will reveal my favorite composer. If you can identify
the theme, that will count as an additional tie-breaker.
Hint: the theme has nothing to do with lyrics or the artists.
The two normal tie breakers are not part of the theme. You may
have an advantage if you grew up in the Philadelphia area as they got
lots of airplay back in the day. They both "bubbled under" the Top 100
billboard charts,

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can make this beggar a king
A clown or a poet
#01)
Cause I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely?
#02)
Now it's dark and I'm alone but I won't be afraid
#03)
When I'm home
Everything seems to be right
#04)
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading up town
I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab
Flipped a 20-dollar bill, told him, "Catch that yellow cab"
#05)
I know you don't know me
Take my hand there's a lot you can show me
#06)
After a while, I'm myself again
I pick the pieces off the floor
Put my heart on the shelf again
He'll never hurt me anymore
#07)
You still got time
So make up your mind
What's it to be
Do you want me
#08)
Kisses like wine (Oh, he's so fine)
Don't let him under your skin
#09)
All of my life
I've been a-waitin'
Tonight there'll be no hesitatin'
#10)
Hey, I thought I was smart
I'd won his heart
Ah, I didn't think I'd lose
But now I see
#11)
I'll always think of you
The tender love we knew
But somehow, I'll get through
#12)
If we meet on the street
And a little bitta tear rolls down my cheek
Please don't think it's because I'm blue
Or that I'm still in love with you
#13)
And when I'm old and gray
These are the words I'd like to hear him say
Yes I would, yes I would
#14)
And let's get together
Let's get together right now
Let's get together
I need your company
Well count on me
#15)
I joke around at a party when you are there
But you don't laugh, you don't look, you just don't care
#16)
In chapter three remember the meaning of romance
#17)
You're my darling you're the one I'm dreaming of
I've gotta make you mine
Cause you're the only one I'll ever love-ove-ove-ove
#18)
My tongue gets tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
#19)
I miss the wooden kitchen floor
Painted brown to match the old back door
In my old Kentucky home where I belong
#20)
Everyday my friends say
I'm just a fool to fall in love
To them it seems ain't very cool
But I don't care what they say
I just can't resist
#21)
I lost him once through friends' advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
#22)
I have nothing to hope for
I have nothing to cling to
Life for me has no meaning, darling
If I have to live it without you
#23)
I never felt this way before
It's a feeling that I can't explain
There's one thing that I know for sure
I can tell you're feeling it too
#24)
Light, light up your face with gladness
C'mon, hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
#25)
A change has come over me
My heart beats impatiently
Just can't wait (can't wait) til tonight
Cause I know he's gonna hold (gonna hold) me tight
#T1)
I know (I know) that you care for me
I can see it in your eyes
You can't hide your love for me
I can hear it when you sigh
#T2)
