A Change Is Gonna Come
I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like
the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
Cause I
don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time
coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling
me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a
change gonna come, oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees
Ohhhhhhhhh.....
There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
Rome Wasn't Built In A Day
Don't, honey don't, go away, no no
Don't you hear, don't
you hear,
What I say, what I say
Give me time, give me time
I'm gonna
make your love as strong as mine
But I know Rome wasn't built in a day
Now, you know that I love you dear with all my heart
I know that you didn't
love me from the start
But I planted a lil' seed in your heart I know
And
it just needs time to grow, baby
Don't, honey don't, go away, no no
Don't
you hear, don't you hear,
What I say, what I say
Give me time, give me
time
I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine
But I know Rome wasn't
built in a day
Listen to me honey now
How would Romeo feel if his Juliet
Had turned down his advances and played hard to get
He wouldn't have let this
bother him, this I know
Because where there's light there's hope
Oh!
Baby, don't go away, no no
Don't you hear now, don't you hear now,
What
I say, what I say
Give me time, give me time
I'm gonna make your love as
strong as mine
But I know Rome wasn't built in a day
Don't you hear me
telling you that
Rome wasn't built in a day
Don't you realize that
Rome
wasn't built in a day

Frankie And Johnny
Frankie and Johnny was sweethearts
at least thats the way
the story goes
Frankie bought everything for Johnny
from his sports car to
his Ivy League clothes
He was a man alright, oh but he was doing her wrong
just to
show you what can happen
A friend came running to Frankie
she said you know I
wouldn't tell you no lie
I saw your man riding in his Jaguar
with a chick
named Nellie Blye
He was your man honey, oh and he was doing you wrong
let me
tell the story
Frankie ran around the corner
and peeked in a swinging
place
there she saw Johnny with the woman
he had his arms around her waist
aw...he was a man alright but Frankie could see that he was
doing her wrong. And oh let me tell you
Frankie reached down in her pocketbook
and up with a long
forty-four
she shot once, twice, three times and
Johnny fell to the hard
wood floor
aw...he was a man alright but Frankie shot him because he was
doing her wrong
But the last thing he told her was
Frankie, you know I
love you
Why? Honey why did you do that?
Frankie.. I was telling her about
you
Frankie.. you know I love you
Frankie.. you know that I love you
yeah, yeah , yeah, yeah
Now Frankie, you know darn well that I love you
Frankie.. I'll always love you baby
Frankie.. you know I can't do without you
Frankie.. you know I love you
and I know, I know I was doing
you
wrong..wrong..wrong..wrong
Now Frankie..you know darn well that I love you
Frankie....
A Wonderful World
Don't know much about history,
don't know much biology.
Don't know much about a science book,
don't know much about the french I
took.
But I do know that I love you,
and I know that if you love me, too,
what a wonderful world this would be.
Don't know much about geography,
don't know much
trigonometry.
Don't know much about algebra,
don't know what s slide rule
is for.
But I know that one and one is two,
and if this one could be with
you,
what a wonderful world this would be.
I don't claim to be an 'A' student,
but I'm tryin' to be.
For maybe by being an 'A'-student, baby,
I can win your love for me.
