Walkin After Midnight

go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight
Just like we used to do, I'm always walkin'
After midnight, searchin' for you (wa-wa-walking, wa-wa-walking)
I walk for miles along the highway
Well, that's just my way
Of sayin' I love you, I'm always walkin'
After midnight, searchin' for you (wa-wa-walking, wa-wa-walking)
I stop to see a weepin' willow
Cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight
Just hopin' you may be somewhere a-walkin'
After midnight, searchin' for me (Wa-wa-walking, wa-wa-walking)

They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I went with the mob
When there were roads to build or guns to bear
I was right there, right on the job
They used to tell me I was building a dream
With hope and glory ahead
Why should I be standing in line
Just waiting for bread?
Once I built a railroad, I made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower up to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell
Full of that yankee doodly dum
Half a million boots went sloggin' through hell
And I was the one with the drum
Say, don't you remember, your old hero?
You called me all the time
Say, don't you remember, I'm your bro?
Brother, can you spare a dime?

Lover, Come Back To Me

Sky was blue and high above
The moon was new, so was love
This eager heart of mine was singing
Lover, come back to me
You came at last love had its day
The day is past, you've gone away
This eager heart of mine is singing
Lover, come to me
I remember every little thing you used to do
I'm lonely
Every road I walked along
I walked along with you
No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue, the night is cold
The moon is new, but love is old
This eager heart of mine is singing
Lover, come back to me

I Can't Stop Loving You
02:57

I can't stop loving you
I've made up my mind
To live in memories
Of lonesome times
I can't stop wanting you
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday
Those lonesome hours
That we once knew
Though long ago
Still make me blue
They say that time
Heals the broken heart
But time has stood still
Since we've been apart

My fur coat's sold
Oh Lord ain't it cold
But I'm not gonna holler
Cause I've still got a dollar
And when I get low
Oh, I get high
My girl walked out
Now you know that ain't right
She don't even wonder
Where I'm sleeping tonight
Cuz when I get low
Oh, I get high
All this hard luck in this town has found me
Nobody knows how troubles all drown around me
Oh, I'm all alone
With no one to pet me
My old rocking chair
Ain't never gonna get me
Cause when I get low
Oh, I get high
When I get low
Oh, I get high

I'll sing to the stars in the sky
I'll sing while the sun rises high
Carnival time is here
Magical time of year
And as the time draws near
Dreams fill my heart
I'll sing while I play guitar
I'll sing in my dreams from afar
Will love come my way?
This Carnival day?
And will dreams fill my heart?

Louisiana Fairytale

he dew is hanging diamonds on the clover,
The moon is list'n'ing to the nightingale.
And while we're lost in dreams,
The world around us seems like a Lou'siana Fairy Tale.
The breeze is softly singing thru the willows,
As hand in hand we stroll along the trail.
And love is at its height,
Enchanting us tonight, Like a Lou'siana Fairy Tale.
Is it real, this fascination? Are my arms holding you fast?
Are we here, on a vacation, or can this be heaven at last?
Keep dreaming with your head upon my shoulder,
And don't awake until the stars grow pale.
The world is at our feet, the picture is complete,
Like a Lou'siana Fairy Tale.
