The Sound Of Your Cry

Opdateret 13. april 2008

The Sound Of Your Cry (Words & music: Bill Giant / Bernie Baum / Florence Kaye) The clock by the bed is ticking Too loud in the quiet night, I lie in the darkness thinking I must go before it's light. Before you open up your eyes And you beg me to stay, I'll leave 'cause I can't stand To see you hurt this way. Sleep, my love, as I kiss you goodbye, Then I won't hear the sound of your cry. Though I knew the time was coming And our love would end somehow, I just couldn't bear to tell you Exactly just when or how. I know we can't go on, That it was wrong to start, But if you wake up crying now, You know you'll break my heart. Sleep, my love, as I kiss you goodbye, Then I won't hear the sound of your cry. Oh, sleep, my love, as I kiss you goodbye, Then I won't hear the sound of your cry. Oh, sleep, my love, as I kiss you, kiss you, Kiss you goodbye, Then I won't hear the sound of your cry. Oh, oh, sleep, my love, as I kiss you ... Recorded: 1970/06/04, first released on single, September 1971 The Twelfth Of Never (Words & music: Jerry Livingston / Paul Francis Webster) You ask how much I need you, Must I explain? I need you, oh, my darling, Like roses need rain. You ask how long I'll love you, I'll tell you true, Until the twelfth of never, I'll still be loving you. Hold me close, Never let me go, Hold me close, Melt my heart like April snow. I'll love you till the bluebells Forget to bloom, I'll love you till the clover Has lost its perfume. I'll love you till the poets Run out of rhyme, Oh, until the twelfth of never, And that's a long, long time. Until the twelfth of never, And that's a long, long time. (Twelfth of never). Recorded: 1974/08/16, first released on Walk A Mile In My Shoes - The Essential 70's Masters, October 9, 1995 The Walls Have Ears (Words & music: Sid Tepper / Roy C. Bennett) The walls have ears, Ears that hear each little sound you make, Ev'ry time you stamp, throw a lamp And ev'ry cup and dish you break. But they can't hear a kiss Or two arms that hold you tight, So come on, baby, Don't fight tonight. The walls have ears, Better think before you fling that shoe, If you part my hair with a chair They'll spread the news to Timbuktu. But they can't hear a kiss Or two arms that hold you tight, So come on, baby, Don't fight tonight. Jets can fly fast and high, Rockets can go even faster, But they can't catch or even match Sound trav'llin' through plaster. The walls have ears, Ears that hear each little sound you make, Ev'ry time you stamp, throw a lamp And ev'ry cup and dish you break. But they can't hear a kiss Or two arms that hold you tight, So come on, baby, Don't fight tonight. Just dim the light, Don't fight tonight. Recorded: 1962/03/27, first released on Girls! Girls!

There was nothin' that could hold me Or could keep me 'way from you, When your lovin' letter told me That you really loved me true. Lord above, He knows I love you, It was He who brought me through, When my way was dark as night, He would shine His brightest light, When I was tryin' to get to you. Recorded: 1954/09, first released on Elvis Presley, March 13, 1956 Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus (Words & music: Helen Howarth Lemmell / Harry Clarke) If you, mmm, And all the world go free, Know there's a cross for everyone And there's a cross for me. Turn your eyes upon Jesus, What's the words? Look full in His wonderful face, And the things, the things of earth Will grow strangely dim In the light of his wonderful face.

Recorded: 1955/04/30, first released on The First Live Recordings, February 1984 Twenty Days And Twenty Nights (Words & music: Ben Weisman / Clive Westlake) I left my home up in the hills Far behind me, I left my wife with unpaid bills, She can't find me. I'm trying out the world for size, Find that it's not paradise, It's lonely, wooh. Now for twenty days and twenty nights I've been alone And that ain't right, without her. City ways are strange to me, I can't make it, For it's not like it ought to be And I can't take it. Gotta face the truth one day, A man can't always run away From trouble, No. Now for twenty days and twenty nights I've been a fool And that ain't right, without her. One day soon I'm going back, Will she still mind me. I've been out of line and off the track, But that's behind me. I fooled around and did it well, But I just couldn't ring the bell, Without her, no. It's taken twenty days and twenty nights To prove me wrong and make her right. Twenty days and twenty nights, I was wrong and she was right, All alone, and I miss her. Oh, how I miss her, Oh, how I miss her, Oh, how I miss her, Oh, how I miss her ...
