Live

Only The Lonely
Written by Roy Orbison, Joe Melson
Monument Records, May 1960


Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely
Only the lonely

Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know this feelin’ ain’t right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They’re gone forever
So far apart

But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely
Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Know the heartaches I’ve been through
Only the lonely
Know I cried and cried for you

Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that’s the chance
You gotta take
If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah

Lyric - Oklahoma (Billy Gilman, 2000)

Oklahoma

Written by John Allen and D. Vincent Williams

Recorded by Billy Gilman

Epic Nashville - June 20, 2000

Suitcase packed with all his things

Car pulls up, the doorbell rings

He don't want to go

He thought he'd found his home

But with circumstances he can't change

Waves goodbye as they pull away

From the life he's known

For the last seven months or so

She said we found the man who looks like you

Who cried and said he never knew

About the boy in pictures that we showed him

A rambler in his younger days

He knew he made a few mistakes

But he swore he would have been there

Had he known it

Son we think we found your dad in Oklahoma

A million thoughts raced through his mind

What's his name, what's he like and will he be

Anything like the man in his dreams

She could see the questions in his eyes

Whispered "don't be scared my child

I will let you know, what we know

About the man we found, he looks like you

Who cried and said he never knew

About the boy in pictures that we showed him

A rambler in his younger days

He knew he'd made a few mistakes

But he swore he would've been there

Had he known it

You always said that this was something that you wanted

Son it's time to meet your Dad in Oklahoma

One last turn he held his breath

'Til they reached the fifth house on the left

And all at once the tears came rolling in

And as they pulled into the drive

A man was waiting there outside

Wiped the worry from his eyes

Smiled and took his hand

And he said I'm the man who looks like you

Who cried because I never knew

About the boy in pictures that they showed me

A rambler in my younger days

I knew I made a few mistakes

But I swear I would have been there had I known it

Never again will you ever be alone

Son welcome to your home in Oklahoma 

Lyric - One Day In Your Life

One Day In Your Life

Written by Sam Brown and Renée Armand

Recorded by Michael Jackson

Motown Records 1975

One day in your life 

you'll remember a place 

Someone's touching your face 

You'll come back and you'll look around you 

One day in your life 

You'll remember the love you found here 

You'll remember me somehow 

Though you don't need me now 

I will stay in your heart 

And when things fall apart 

You'll remember one day... 

One day in your life 

When you find that you're always waiting 

For the love we used to share 

Just call my name 

And I'll be there 

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...) 

You'll remember me somehow 

Though you don't need me now 

I will stay in your heart 

And when things fall apart 

You'll remember one day... 

One day in your life 

When you find that you're always longing 

for the love we used to share 

Just call my name 

And I'll be there 

(Ohh...)
