BUDDY HOLLY LIVES
I GAMBLED MY HEART
(Buddy Holly - Bob Montgomery)
When you love someone
And then you found you've lost
Why must a true heart be left to pay the cost
Why must a heart that has been true
Be broken and sad, so empty and blue
I gambled my heart and I lost it to you
Now I'll spend my life wondering why I love you
Someday you'll know why I'm so blue
When you've gambled your heart
And you've lost it too
Why must it be the one you want most of all
They'll build you up and then let you fall
They'll lead you on, you'll think that they're true
They'll love you then leave you so empty and blue
I gambled my heart and I lost it to you
Now I'll spend my life wondering why I love you
Someday you'll know why I'm so blue
When you've gambled your heart
And you've lost it too
I GUESS I WAS JUST A FOOL
(Buddy Holly)
I thought that I could forget
Even try to tell myself we never met
Though you try you can't deny
The beating of your heart
Though you try you can't deny
The true love when it starts
I guess that I was just a fool
I guess I'll go on loving you
Even though I know my love will never do
Though you try you can't deny
The beating of your heart
Though you try you can't deny
The true love when it starts
I guess that I was just a fool
I'M CHANGING ALL THOSE CHANGES
(Buddy Holly)
I-I-I should have reconsidered all those things I said I'd do
So now I'm changing all those changes
That I made when I left you
Sweetheart I'm changing all those changes
That I made when I left you
Because I made those changes when I thought you were untrue
A-but now you're gone I've found I'm wrong
And there's a-nothing I can do
Except to change up all those changes
That I made when I left you
I-I-I didn't stop to thi-ink, I just left without a care
And now I know I'm wrong and I can't find you anywhere
I should have reconsidered all those things I said I'd do
So now I'm changing all those changes
That I made when I left you
I'M GONNA LOVE YOU TOO
(Joe Mauldin - Niki Sullivan - Norman Petty)

I'M GONNA SET MY FOOT DOWN
(Buddy Holly)
We-ell, you say you're mine, but baby you don't show it
You better fly right, for before you know it
I'm a-going to set my foot right down on you
I wanna stop your struttin', baby, 'til you say you're through
I'm gonna turn you around and put you upside down
If that don't stop your runnin' around
I'm a-going to set my foot right down on you
I wanna stop your struttin', baby, 'til you say you're through
A-well, you tell me this a-and you tell me that
How come your dog bites me instead of that other cat
I'm a-gonna set my foot right down on you
Gonna stop your struttin', baby, 'til you say you're through
Well, you say you're mine, but baby you don't show it
You better fly right, 'cause before you know it
I'm a-going to set my foot right down on you
I wanna stop your struttin', baby 'til you say you're through
I wanna turn you around and put you upside down
If that don't stop your slippin' around
I'm a-going to set my foot right down on you
I wanna stop your struttin', baby, 'til you say you're through
A-well, you tell me this and then you tell me that
How come your dog bites me instead of that other cat
I'm a-gonna set my foot right down on you
I wanna stop your struttin',
baby 'til you say you're through
I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO LOVE
(Buddy Holly - Norman Petty)
Stayin' at home, waitin' for you
Just won't get it 'cause you say we're thru
Well I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well if you're not here
But baby, I don't care
Because I'm lookin' for someone to love
Playin' the field all day long
Since I found out I was wronged
Well I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well if you're not here
But baby I don't care
'Cause I'm lookin' for someone to love
Caught myself, thinkin' of you
You can't love me and an other one too
Well I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well if you're not here
But baby I don't care
Because I'm lookin' for someone to love
Drunk man, street car
Foot slipped, there you are
Well I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm a-lookin' for someone to love
Well if you're not here
But baby I don't care
Because I'm a-lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE
(Paul Anka)
There you go and baby here am I
Well you left me here so I could sit and cry
Golly gee what have you done to me
Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore
Do you remember baby last September
How you held me tight each and every night
Oh baby how you drove me crazy
But I guess it doesn't matter any more
There's no use in me a-cryin'
I've done everything and now I'm sick of trying
I've thrown away my nights, wasted all my days over you
Now you go your way baby and I'll go mine
Now and forever 'till the end of time
And I'll find somebody new and baby
We'll say we're through and you won't matter any more
There's no use in me a-cryin'
I've done everything and now I'm sick of trying
I've thrown away my nights, wasted all my days over you
Now you go your way baby and I'll go mine
Now and forever 'till the end of time
And I'll find somebody new and baby
We'll say we're through and you won't matter any more
IT'S NOT MY FAULT
(Ben Hall - Weldon Myrick)
It's not my fault
If you're not falling in love with me
It's not my fault
If our future love you can't see
I should have known I could never win your hand
I know I can't hold your heart with just a wedding band
I'm just a fool in your broken chain of hearts
Each one is falling now and I can't hold the parts
I guess you want one of those on to be free
It's not my fault
If you're not falling in love with me
IT'S SO EASY
(Buddy Holly - Norman Petty)
It’s so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
People tell me love's for fools
So here I go breaking all of the rules
It seems so easy
(O-o-oh) So doggone easy
(Mm—mm-mm) It seems so easy
Where you're concerned
My heart has learned
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
Look into your heart and see
What your love book has set apart for me
It seems so easy
(O-o-oh) So doggone easy
(Mm—mm-mm) It seems so easy
Where you're concerned
My heart has learned
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
We-ell it's so easy
(Mm—mm-mm) So doggone easy
(Mm—mm-mm) It seems so easy
Well, where you're concerned
My heart has learned
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
IT'S TOO LATE
(Chuck Willis)
It's too late, she's gone
It's too late, my baby's gone
Wish I had told her she was my only one
But it's too late, she's gone
It's a weak man that cries
So I guess I best dry my eyes
Guess I will miss her more than anyone
But it's too late, she's gone
She's gone, yeah she's gone
She's gone, my baby's gone
She's gone, yeah she's gone
Where can my baby be?
I wonder does she know
When she left me it hurt me so
I need your lovin' please don't make me weep
And tell me it's not too late
I need your lovin' please don't make me weep
And tell me it's not too late
KEEP ON SHINING ON
(Words & Music by Peter Carroll, 2006)
UK Tribute
Hey Mr Holly, don’t be lonesome tonight
Hey Buddy, buddy, all your friends have found delight
You had a rhythm with those songs
And the words just came out right
Any broken heart can feel your world every time
Now all these embers are all burning bright for you
Up in the land of dreams, we know you love us too
You touched a place in our hearts
Cos you knew we had the blues
Now we all keep on shining on
Chorus
Everyday you seem to know me
Anytime I’m feeling blue
Many times I’ve closed my eyes and cried
In a broken world of lonely hearts so true
One of these days, were gonna meet you in the sky
Standing with your Stratocaster, That’ll Be The Day I Die
And how we learned them songs
With Buddy and the guitar gone
And The Crickets keep us shining on
And we all keep on shining on…
And we all keep on shining on…
And we all keep on shining on…
LA BAMBA
( Ritchie Valens )
Para bailar La Bamba,
Para bailar La Bamba,
se necessita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia,
pa mi, pa ti.
Ay arriba arriba,
ay arriba arriba,
por ti sere,
por ti sere,
por ti sere.
Yo no soy marinero,
yo no soy marinero,
soy capitan.
Soy capitan,
soy capitan.
LAST NIGHT
(Joe Mauldin - Norman Petty)
Last night as I watched the stars from my window
I prayed Lord above to guide and protect you
Tho' I'm not wanted now, I still love you somehow
That is my only prayer, for you
Last night, as I gazed through the mist in my eyes
I wanted you here to hold you so near
But silence tells me, you didn't hear my plea
I missed you so much since you left me
My heart ached apart since you left me
Tho' I'm not wanted now, I still love you somehow
That is my only prayer, for you
LEARNING THE GAME
(Buddy Holly)
Hearts that are broken and love that's untrue
These go with learnin' the game
When you love her and she doesn't love you
You're only learnin' the game
When she says that you're the only one she'll ever love
Then you find that you are not the one she's thinking of
Feeling so sad and you're all alone and blue
That's when you're learnin' the game
When she says that you're the only one she'll ever love
Then you find that you are not the one she's thinking of
Feeling so sad and you're all alone and blue
That's when you're learnin' the game
When she says that you're the only one she'll ever love
Then you find that you are not the one she's thinking of
Feeling so sad and you're all alone and blue
That's when you're learnin' the game
That's when you're learnin' the game
LISTEN TO ME
(Charles Hardin - Norman Petty)
Listen to me and hold me tight
And you will see our love so right
Hold me darling, listen closely to me
Your eyes will see what love can do
Reveal to me your love so true
Listen to me, listen closely to me
I've told the stars you're my only love
I want to love you to tenderly
Those same bright stars in heaven above
Know now how sweet sweethearts can be
Listen to me, hear what I say
Our hearts can be nearer each day
Hold me darling, listen closely to me
(Spoken)
Listen to me
Listen, listen
Listen to me
I've told the stars you're my only love
I want to love you to tenderly
Those same bright stars in heaven above
Know now how sweet sweethearts can be
Listen to me, hear what I say
Our hearts can be nearer each day
Hold me darling, listen closely to me
LITTLE BABY
(Buddy Holly - Norman Petty - C. W. Kendall jr.)
Little baby, baby me
Little baby, baby me
In my heart you are the one
Look around and have your fun
Oh woh woh-woh
You be my little baby
And baby me
Little baby can you see
What your love has going to be ?
Can you see love in my eyes ?
Love that leaves me full of sighs
Oh woh woh-woh
You be my little baby
And baby me
Little baby, baby me
Little baby, baby me
Maybe I will baby you
With a bunch of love for you
Woh woh woh-woh
You be my little baby
And baby me
LONESOME TEARS
(Buddy Holly)
Lonesome tears sad and blue
I shed lonesome tears for you
Guess you know I know why
I cried when you said goodbye
When you left and you said "I'm gone"
Lonesome tears fell all night long
Yes, you know I know I cried
When you said goodbye
You left me here all alone
Hear me callin', won't you back home
Love me like you did before
Now need I tell you more ?
Lonesome tears sad and blue
I shed lonesome tears for you
Guess you know I know I cried
When you said goodbye
You left me here all alone
Hear me callin', won't you back home
Love me like you did before
Now need I tell you more ?
Lonesome tears sad and blue
I shed lonesome tears for you
Guess you know I know I cried
When you said goodbye
LOOK AT ME
(Norman Petty - Buddy Holly - Jerry Allison)
Hey, hey, look at me and tell me
What's gonna happen to you
When you've broken too many people's hearts
And can't find anyone new
Say, say, look at me an' tell me
'Bout that twinkle in your eye
Is the twinkle in your eye meant for me
Or meant for some other guy
Look at me from now on
Know the love we share
Look at me from now on
Let me know you care-a-are
Hey, hey, look at me an' tell me
What's gonna happen to you
When you've spoken sweet words of love to me
And I want to marry you
Look at me from now on
Know the love we share
Look at me from now on
Let me know you care-a-are
Hey, hey, look at me an' tell me
What's gonna happen to you
When you've spoken sweet words of love to me
And I want to marry you
LOVE IS STRANGE
(Ethel Smith - Mickey Baker)
Love (mm-mm-mm), love is strange (mm-mm-mm)
A lot of people (mm-mm-mm) take it for a game
Once you get it (mm-mm-mm) you're in an awful fix (mm-mm-mm)
After you've had it (mm-mm-mm) you'll never wanna quit
Many people (mm-mm-mm), don't understand (no, no)
They think loving (yay-ee-ay) is money in the hand
Your sweet lovin' (mm-mm-mm) is better than a kiss (yay-ee-ay)
When you leave me (mm-mm-mm) sweet kisses I miss
Love (mm-mm-mm), love is strange (mm-mm-mm)
A lot of people (mm-mm-mm) take it for a game
Once you get it (mm-mm-mm) you're in an awful fix (mm-mm-mm)
After you've had it (mm-mm-mm) you'll never wanna quit
Many people (mm-mm-mm), don't understand (no, no)
They think loving (yay-ee-ay) is money in the hand
Your sweet lovin' (mm-mm-mm) is better than a kiss (yay-ee-ay)
When you leave me (mm-mm-mm) sweet kisses I miss
LOVE ME
(Sue Parish - Buddy Holly)
Well, love me, love me, love me

Well, I'm hoping you do
Oh baby, love me, love me, love me

The way that I love you
Well, love me, love me

LOVE'S MADE A FOOL OF YOU
(Buddy Holly - Bob Montgomery)
Love can make a fool of you
You do anything it wants you to
Love can make you feel so good
When it goes like you think it should
Or it can make you cry at night
When your baby don't treat you right
When you're feelin' sad and blue
You know love's a-made a fool of you
You know love makes fools of men
But you don't care, you're gonna try it again
Time goes by, it's a-passing fast
You think true love a-has come at last
But by and by you're gonna find
Crazy love a-has a-made you blind
When you're feelin' sad and blue
You know love's a-made a fool of you
Love can make you feel so good
When it goes like you think it should
Or it can make you cry at night
When your baby don't treat you right
When you're feelin' sad and blue
You know love's a-made a fool of you
