Honeysuckle Rose lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them goodness knows
My honeysuckle rose

Fly was dropping side when you're passing by
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

I don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
It's so sweet when you stir it up

On the avenue people look at you
And I know just why they do
You're much sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
You're much sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Fly was dropping side when you're passing by
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

And I don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
It's so sweet when you stir it up

You're much sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Take Me To The River lyrics - Eva Cassidy

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
Stole my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet

I wanna know boy, won't you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you

[Chorus]
Won't you take me to the river
Wash me down
Take me to the river
Put my feet back on the ground

I don't know why you treat me so bad
After all the good times that we've had
You're sixteen candles that burn on my wall
Now who's the biggest fool of us all

I wanna know, won't you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you

[Chorus]

Hold me squeeze me love me
And you can tease me
Till I can't take it no more
Oh yeah yeah yeah

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
Love is a notion I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret

I wanna know, won't you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you

[Chorus x2]

What A Wonderful World lyrics - Eva Cassidy

I see trees that are green, red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, ohh what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "how do you do?"
But they're really saying, "I love you"

I see trees that are green and red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, oh what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "how do you do?"
But they're really saying, "I love you

I see trees that are green and red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, oh what a wonderful world

I think to myself, ooh what a wonderful world

Oh, Had I A Golden Thread lyrics - Eva cassidy

Oh, had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I would weave a magic spell
Of a rainbow design
Of a rainbow design

In it I would weave the courage
Of women giving birth
And in it I would weave the innocence
Of the children of all the earth
Children of all the earth

I want to show my brothers and sisters
My rainbow design
Cause I would bind up this sorry world
With hand and heart and mind
Oh, hand and heart and mind

Oh, had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I would weave a magic spell
Of a rainbow design
Of a rainbow design

Let The Good Times Roll lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Hey everybody
Let's have some fun
You only live once
But when you're dead you're gone

So let the good times roll
Well let the good times roll
Well it makes no difference
If you're young or old
Just get together
And let the good times roll

Hey don't sit there mumbling
Talkin' trash
If you wanna have a ball
You gotta spend some cash
Let the good times roll
Oh yeah let the good times roll

Makes no difference
If you're young or old
Oh let the good times roll

[Scat]

Tell everybody Chuck Brown is in town
A dollar and a quarter
He's just wearing a crown
1 Don't let no female play me cheap
I got fifty cents more
Than I'm gonna keep

So let the good times roll
Yeah let the good times roll
Don't make no difference
If you're young or old
Just get together and
Let the good times roll

No matter whether rainy weather
If you wanna have a ball
You've got to get yourself together
Get under control and
Let the good times roll

(Now what you gonna do)
(Yeah)

Fever lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Never know how much I love you, you never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me, I get a feeling that I just can't bear
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning, fever all through the night.

Bless my soul I love you, take this heart away
Take these arms I never use them
And just believe what my lips have to say
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning, fever all through the night

Listen to me baby, hear every word I say
No one can love you the way I do
Because they don't know how to love you my way
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning, fever all through the night

The sun lights up the daytime, the moon lights up at night
My eyes light up when you call my name,
Because I know you're gonna treat me right
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning, fever all through the night.
You give me fever, you give me fever, oh yeah,
Fever all through the night

You Don't Know Me lyrics - Eva Cassidy

You give your hand to me then you say hello
And I can hardly speak my heart is beating so
And anyone can tell you think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night
Who longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
I guess I'm just a friend that's all I've ever been
'Cause you don't know me

For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
A chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky one
Oh you'll never know how much I love you so
Well you don't know me

For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
A chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside some lucky guy
And you'll never know how much I love you so
Mmmm you don't know me

No you don't know me
You'll never know the one who loves you so
'Cause you don't know me

I Could Have Told You So lyrics - eva cassidy

I could have told you she'd hurt you
Love you a while then desert you
If only you'd asked I could have told you so

I could have saved you some crying
I could have told you he was lying
If only you'd asked I could have told you so

I see her there as I toss and turn and try to sleep
I see him there making promises he'll never keep
And soon it's over and done with
Find someone new to have fun with
If only you'd asked I could have told you so

[Scat]
[Chuck Brown]
[Scat]

I could have told you she'd hurt you
Love you a while then desert you
If only you'd asked I could have told you so

I could have saved you a whole lot of crying
I could have told you he was lying
If only you'd asked I could have told you so

I see her there as I toss and turn and try to sleep
I see him there with promises he'll never keep
And soon it's over and done with
Find someone new to have fun with
If only you'd asked I could have told you so

With all of my tears I could have told you so

Gee Baby Ain't I Good To You lyrics - Eva Cassidy

What makes me treat you the way I do
Gee baby ain't I good to you

There's nothing in this world too good
For a girl this sweet and true
Gee baby ain't I good to you

I gave you my money and diamond rings
Big Cadillac car and everything

It's love that makes me treat you the way that I do
Gee baby ain't I good to you

I gave you my money and diamond rings
Big Cadillac car and everything

It's love that makes me treat you the way that I do
Gee baby ain't I good to you

Gee baby ain't I good to you
Ain't I good to you

I'll Go Crazy lyrics - Eva Cassidy

You Don't Know What Love Is lyrics - Eva Cassidy

You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved the love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is

Do you know how a lost heart feels
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips lips that taste of tears
They lose their taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is

Do you know how a lost heart feels
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips lips that taste of tears
They lose their taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is

Drown In My Own Tears lyrics - Eva Cassidy


It brings a tear into my eyes
When I begin to realize
I cry so much since you've been gone
I guess I'll drown in my own tears

I sit and cry just like a child
My pouring tears are running wild
If you don't think that you'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown oh yeah in my own tears

I know it's true into each life must be some rain
Lord some rain has got to fall
I'm so blue here without you
It keeps raining and just raining more and more

Oh why don't you come on home
And I won't be so all alone
If you don't think that you'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown oh yeah in my own tears

I know it's true into each life I know some rain
Lord some rain has got to fall
And I'm so blue here without you
It just keeps raining and raining and raining more and more

Oh why don't you come on home
And I won't be so all alone
If you don't think that you'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown in my own tears

Oh yeah drown in my own tears
Oh yes drown in my own tears
Oh I'm gonna drown oh yes in my own tears
My own tears

God Bless The Child lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his own

Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Hanging round your door
Then it's gone, and the money ends
They don't come around no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself baby
Oh don't you take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Hanging round your door
Then it's gone, and the money ends
They don't come around no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself baby
Oh don't you take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own

Red Top lyrics - Eva Cassidy

My little red top
See how you got me spinning
Going round and round
And I don't want to stop
You've got me so if I don't go around
Well I'm sure gonna drop gonna drop gonna drop

So red top you just keep right on spinning
Going round and round
And don't you ever stop
Remember that if you don't go around
Well I'm sure gonna drop gonna drop gonna drop

My sweet little flower you win
I'm spinnin' and I promise I will love you forever
I know that there is no one who can thrill me
No one can kill me baby like you do

And I tell the world I'm in love with you
Yes I'm in love with you
Any old thing you say and everything that you do
So baby won't you tell me you're mine
And hold me tight through the night If you love me

Gonna go spinning and spinning
Don't you ever stop
‘Cause I'm high upon a dream and I don't wanna drop now

I would take a solo but I don't know
I gotta go right on spinning
It's a symbol of my little red top
I gotta go right on spinning
I gotta go round and round
Until I tumble down and fall with a drop mornin' glory
Now you know the story of my little red top

My little red top
See how you got me spinning
Going round and round
And I don't want to stop
You've got me so that if I don't go around
Well I'm sure gonna drop gonna drop gonna drop

So red top you just keep right on spinning
Going round and round
And don't you ever stop mm ah uh
Remember that if you don't go around
Slow down baby 'cause I'm sure gonna drop
(Yeah)

Dark End Of The Street lyrics - Eva Cassidy

At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me

I know time is gonna take its toll
We have to pay for what we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
Oh but our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street
You and me

They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us all some day
You and me at the dark end of the street

They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us oh some day
You and me at the dark end of the street

And when the daylight hour rolls round
And by chance we're both downtown
If we should meet then just walk on by
Oh darling please please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet
At the dark end of the street
Oh tonight we'll meet
At the dark end of the street

The Shadow Of Your Smile lyrics - Eva Cassidy

The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
That lights the dawn

Look into my eyes oh my love and you will see
All the lovely things that you are to me

Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I

Now when I remember spring
And all the joys that love can bring
That's when I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile

A wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips girl
And so did I

Now when I remember spring
All the joys that your love can bring
I would be remembering
The shadow of your smile

Now when I remember spring
And all the lovely joys your love can bring
I would be remembering
The shadow of your smile

Over The Rainbow lyrics - Eva Cassidy



Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
In the land that I heard of once, once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

[Instrumental]

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little blue birds fly across the rainbow
Why oh why can't I?

You've Changed lyrics - Eva Cassidy

You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
It's all over now
You've changed

You've changed
Your kiss is now are so blase
You're bored with me in every way
You're breaking my heart
You've changed

You've forgotten the words
I love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realise that you ever cared

You've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now
You've changed

You've forgotten the words
I love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realise that you ever cared

You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
It's all over now
You've changed

Yeas It's over now
You've changed
