Every Little Thing
Don't Let Go
Lift Me Up
Nobody Home
September Song
Now You're Gone
Don't Say Goodbye
What Would it Take
Stormy Weather
Blown Away
Save Me Now

If your heart could talk I wonder what it would tell me
If your mind could walk would it bring me a love never ending
Yes, I've got to know
I've got to know
No secrets anymore
You've got to tell me

All your days have gone a goin' to a go-go
Now the time has come, is it gonna be a no no, no no
I've got to know
I've got to know
No secrets anymore
You've got to tell me

(Chorus:)
Tell me every little thing that makes you happy, Oh oh oh
Every little thing that makes you glad
All of the secrets that you hide I got to know
Whoa, every little thing

You've gotta stop all your reservations
Am I for the chop or is it celebrations?
Yes, I've got to know
I've got to know
No secrets anymore
You've got to tell me

(Chorus)

Tell me every little thing (tell me)
Every little thing (tell me)

(Chorus)

EVERY LITTLE THING

DON’T LET GO /Jeff Lynne/

Gee, I wish it was ten o'clock
Come on baby it's time to rock
I'm so glad I've got you here
Makes me happy when you are here

(Chorus:)
(Ooh-whee) This feelin's killin' me
(Aw, shucks) I wouldn't stop it for a million bucks
(I love you so) Come on, baby, now Don't Let Go

Thunder, lightnin', wind and rain
Keeps on poundin' inside my brain
I'm so glad that I can see
*You've been keepin' on next to me

(Chorus)

(Solo)

(Chorus)

*One day, baby, you could be had {One day baby you'll quit me yet}
*I'll be cryin' and sad you're bad

There's one thing I'll never stand
You goin' out with another man

LIFT ME UP /Jeff Lynne/

Love is what I want
And all you gotta do is bring it to me, baby
Talk is what I want what I want
Oh, yeah what I want
And all you gotta do is bring it to me, baby

Talk come on, let's talk about it
Talk can't seem to do without it
Talk don't want to be one of the broken hearted

So lift me up, finish what you started
Take me on for a ride
Lift me up from the broken hearted
River's deep and wide

All I want is love what I want
Oh, yeah what I want
And all you gotta do is listen to me, baby what I want

(Think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think)

You got to think about it
And do something about it
No use complainin' when it's over o-ver

So lift me up, finish what you started
Take me on for a ride
Lift me up from the broken hearted
River's deep and wide

Life 'Cause life gets tougher every
Day Day if you can't afford to
Pay Pay, even so you got to carry on carry on

So lift me up, finish what you started
Take me on for a ride
Lift me up from the broken hearted
River's deep and wide
Lift me up

Take me on for a ride
Lift me up from the broken hearted
River's deep and wide

Lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
The river's deep and wide

NOBODY HOME /Jeff Lynne/

I can tell by the way
There aint no lights in the windows
And by the way your curtains hang
Yeah, I know which way the wind blows

I said no, I said no, I said no, nobody home
Nobody home, nobody home

You went away, what a heavy load
You must have took it with you
Down and out, to no thanks to boat
But no one can get ya

I said no, I said no, I said no, ain't nobody home
Nobody home, nobody home

I said nobody, nobody home

From the way that you act
I guess you haven't been there
By the look in your eyes
There's nobody been there

I said no, I said no, I said no, nobody home
Nobody home, nobody home

I said nobody, nobody, nobody home
Nobody home, nobody home

I said no, I said no, I said no no no, nobody home
Nobody home, nobody home

I said nobody, nobody home
Nobody home, nobody home

Aint nobody home, nobody home,
Nobody home
Nobody home
Nobody home
Nobody home

SEPTEMBER SONG /Maxwel Anderson and Kurt Weill/

Oh it's a long long time from May to December
And the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
And you ain't got time for waiting game

When days dwindle down to a precious few
September November, and these few golden days I'd share with you
Those golden days I share with you

When the days dwindle down to a precious few
September November, and all those golden days I'd share with you
Those golden days I'd share with you

Those golden days I'd share with you
Those golden days I'd share with you

NOW YOU’RE GONE /Jeff Lynne/

I, I was crazy about you
I, didn't want to be without you
And I, lost what I had and now your gone

You, you always meant the world to me
You, you never wanted much you see
And you, you changed my life but now you gone

In my heart you were the one
But now, now your gone

Your photograph brings back sweet memories
Something about you I don't know what it is
Your face so young the days so long
But now, your gone

In my heart you were the one
But now, your gone

Yeah now, now your gone
But now, your gone

DON’T SAY GOOD-BYE /Jeff Lynne/

Don't say good-bye don't even think about it
Don't even let it cross your mind
Things will be fine and there's no doubt about it
I always knew that we'd survive

So hold me close, never let me go
I need you now more than ever before
Don't change your mind don't even turn it over
Not after what we've been through

So hold me close, never let me go
I need you now more than ever before
Don't say good-bye don't even think about it
Don't even let it cross your mind
And please don't ever say good-bye

Don't say good-bye
Don't say good-bye
Don't say good-bye

Don't say good-bye

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE /Jeff Lynne/

Remember what you told me
That you would always be there
If you change your mind now

Oh, what would it take to save me
What would it take to save me now

Here comes another night
And all the stars are shining
Could I make it right

Woh, what would it take to save me
What would it take to save me now

Ohhh, What would it take
Whooo, What would it take
To save me

What would it take to save me
What would it take to save me now

Ohhh, What would it take
Whooo, What would it take
To save me

Of all the things I do
And everywhere they take me
You know what I go through

What would it take to save me
What would it take to save me now

STORMY WEATHER /Ted Koehler and Harold Arlen/

Don't know why There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather since my girl and I ended it together
Keeps raining all the time

Life is bad gloomy misery everywhere
Stormy weather just can't seem to get my self together
I'll be here all the time

Oh yeah, since she went away the blues walked in and met me
If she stays away a rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray the lord will let me walk in the sun once more

Can't go on everything I had is gone
Stormy weather, since my gal and I ended it together
Keeps raining all the time, keeps raining all the time

Stormy weather, stormy weather, stormy weather
Keeps raining all the time

BLOWN AWAY /Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty/

So let it rain
Or let the sun shine down on me
I feel no pain
Now that your here it's all the same

You are the one
I should have known
I'm blown away
Like a boat out on the ocean

Time rages on
And all I do is watch the way
Because of you
Nothing will ever be the same

You are the one
I should have known
I'm blown away
Like a boat out on the ocean

Blown away
Like a storm in the night

Blow away
You are the one
I should have known
Blown away
Like a boat out on the ocean

Blow away
Like a storm in the night
I'm blown away

SAVE ME NOW /Jeff Lynne/

One day the earth woke up, said
"Boy I feel half dead
Somebody's turning up the poison
And it's getting in my head
Sometimes I wish my guests
Would move away somewhere
Yes I'm burning up all over
I can't even breathe the air

(Chorus:)
Save me now, Save me now, Save me now come on and
Save me now, Save me now, Save me now"

One day the earth woke up, said
"Boy it's getting hot
And remember all those trees I had
Well now there ain't a lot
And my eyes kept slowly trickling
Down to where the party's at
And if everybody's going there well
That's the end of that"

(Chorus)
