There goes my heart
(Raul Malo, Kostas)

There goes my heart
Breaking in two
There goes my eyes
Crying over you
My arms don't want
For us to part
So when you go
Here comes the blues
There goes my heart

You told me once
We'd never part
That you loved me
With all your heart
But now these words of love
You're going to erase
You've found somebody new
Who wants to take my place

I'm standing on
A bridge that's burned
It's just a lonely
Lesson learned
To see you walk away
With him hurts me so
This fool who loves you
Doesn't want to let you go

So when you go
Here come the blues
There goes my heart
 
 

What a crying shame
(Kostas, Raul Malo)

Wasn't I good to you
Didn't I show it
And if I ever hurt you
I didn't know it

If you think I don't care
Then you're mistaken
My love was always there
But now my heart's breakin'

(Oh) baby oh what a crying shame
To let it all slip away
And call it yesterday
Oh baby my life would be so blue
My heart would break in two
Oh what a crying shame

'Cause I believed in you
From the beginning
I thought our love was true
But now it's all ending

Oh what a crying shame
Oh what a crying shame
Oh what a crying shame
Oh what a crying shame
 
 

Pretend
(Raul Malo, Kostas)

Pretend you're still in love with me
And things are what they used to be
Just one last time before you go
Pretend (that) you still love me so

Pretend I'm still the only one
And all our dreams have just begun
I know our love's come to an end
So one more time let's just pretend

Maybe there's a chance
That you could change your mind
If you just pretend you love me
one more time
I don't want to be a memory or a friend
Darlin' you don't have to love me just pretend

I don't want to be a memory or a friend
Darlin' you don't have to love me just pretend
Darlin' you don't have to love me just pretend
 
 

I should have been true
(Raul Malo, Stan Lynch)

You held my hand
I was your man
I know that I was wrong to lie

If I could go back in time
Back when you were mine
I could hold you tight
And be with you

I should have been true
I should have been blue
I shouldn't wonder why you're gone
I should have known that I was wrong

Your eyes your lips
Your touch I'll miss
The nights are long
Since you've been gone

 

The things you said to me
(Raul Malo, Al Anderson)

You said
You'd always be true
As long as I were to you
If I should start running around
The string I wrapped around your heart
Would then become unwound

I kept my promise 'til the end
But you broke my heart once again
Guess I was just too blind to see
What a fool I was to listen to
The things you said to me

I'm lonely
I can't help it I'm lonely
No matter how hard
I try to forget
I've got a heartache
And I know it's too late
I've been deceived
'Cause darlin' I believed
The things you said to me

Someday you just may be the one
Who's gonna wonder
What went wrong
When you're all alone
Just think of me
When no one else
Will listen to
The things you said to me
 
 

Just a memory
(Raul Malo, Kostas)

Memory can't you see
That's not what I should be
After all she meant to me
I'm just a memory

Hand in hand we used to walk
Heart to heart we used to talk
Now she's gone and it will be
I'm just a memory

Yesterday when she was mine
There have been no better times
And every night I think of when
She'll come back again

After all she meant to me
I'm just a memory
 
 

All that heaven will allow
(Bruce Springsteen)

I got a dollar in my pocket
There ain't a cloud up above
I got a picture in a locket
That says baby I love you
Well if you didn't look then boys
Then fellas don't go lookin' now
Well here she comes a-walkin'
All that heaven will allow

Say hey there mister bouncer
Now all I wanna do is dance
But I swear I left my wallet
Back home in my workin' pants
C'mon Slim slip me in man
I'll make it up to you somehow
I can't be late I got a date
With all that heaven will allow

Rain and storm and dark skies
Well now they don't mean a thing
If you got a girl that loves you
And who wants to wear your ring
So c'mon mister trouble
We'll make it through you somehow
We'll fill this house with all the love
All that heaven will allow

Now some may wanna die young man
Young and gloriously
Get it straight now mister
Hey buddy that ain't me
'Cause I got something on my mind
That sets me straight and walkin' proud
And I want all the time
All that heaven will allow
And I want all the time
All that heaven will allow
 
 

Neon blue
(Kostas, Pete Anderson)

And when the sun goes down
Your memory still hangin' around
Inside this honky tonk
Where I think of you
The flashing lights shine bright
And sparkle in the night
And my heart turns to neon blue

I see your emerald eyes
And your ruby lips on mine
Remembering all the love
That we once knew
Red dress hangs on the door
Black high heels on the floor
And my heart turns a neon blue

What a cold cold sensation
From night into day
Temptation temptation
Has taken you away
I see your emerald eyes
And your ruby lips on mine
And my heart turns a neon blue

What a cold cold sensation
From night into day
Temptation temptation
Has taken you away
And when the sun goes down
Your memory still hangin' around
Leaving my heart a neon blue
Turning my heart a neon blue
 
 

O what a thrill
(Jesse Winchester)

O girl any moment
I may kiss your lips
O it's been a while
Since I felt like this
O girl please don't refuse me
O I'm so scared you will

O what a thrill
O what a thrill
Stars in the sky
Stars stand still
O what a thrill

Woman words fail me
Your skin is sweet and warm
I want to console you
And hold you in my arms
O once you were my baby
You're my baby still
 
 

Ain't found nobody
(Harlan Howard, Kostas)

I loved you then...I love you still
I miss you darling...I always will
Resigned myself...to feeling blue
Ain't found nobody...since I lost you

Once upon a time...once when you were mine
I gave all my heart to loving you
As shadows fall...I'm falling too
Ain't found nobody...since I lost you

Friends may come and go...but they won't do
Don't really want...somebody new
You'll never know...what I go through
Ain't found nobody...since I lost you
 
 

The losing side of me
(Raul Malo)

I wondered if you knew
Where I had been
I was trying to play a game
That I could win
I'm lower than a beggar
On his knees
But you'll never see
The losing side of me

I'd ask my friends about
You now and then
They told me that you would be
Back again
But I'm thinking about what wasn't
Going to be
And you'll never see
The losing side of me

The losing side of me
Just won't be found
And I know that you've been seen
Running 'round
But I'm crying like the birds
Up in the trees
And you'll never see
The losing side of me
