KEEP ON SHINING ON (Words & Music by Peter Carroll, 2006)
__________________________________________________________
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 and 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, 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
Oh baby love me
Well, if you love me honey
Will you let me know
If you really love me
Then never let me go
Oh, love me, love me, love me
Well, I'm hoping you do
Oh baby, 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
O-oh baby love me
Oh baby 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
