MY EQUESTRIAN FANS: On September 2, 1974, see me perform for my old friends in the Canterlot Guards! (Yes, I was one of those!) An album of this performance will be released in February 1975!

You say you're loving someone else
You say you're looking to see me too
Well that somebody else
just so happens to be my friend
But it doesn't matter 'cause I'm gonna love you anyway
That someone likes to use his wings
That someone's pretty much just like me
We get along perfectly
Love, don't you see
that it doesn't matter 'cause I'm gonna love you anyway
I'm not gonna make any promise
To leave or desert you
I'm gonna tell you this much
My love is fully true
The one you love is really sweet
He brings me great things and is a treat
But the one thing that doesn't change
Is my love for you
And it doesn't matter 'cause I'm gonna love you anyway
[instrumental break]
I'm not gonna make any promise
To leave or desert you
I'm gonna tell you this much
My love is fully true
The one you love is really sweet
He brings me great things and is a treat
But the one thing that doesn't change
Is my love for you
And it doesn't matter 'cause I'm gonna love you anyway
it doesn't matter 'cause I'm gonna love you anyway
Yes, it doesn't matter 'cause I'm gonna love you anyway
Whoo! It doesn't matter 'cause I'm gonna love you anyway

Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?
Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were.

Well, I know it's kinda late.
I hope I didn't wake you.
But what I gotta say can't wait,
I know you'd understand.
Every time I tried to tell you,
The words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song.
Yeah, I know it's kinda strange.
Every time I'm near you,
I just run out of things to say.
I know you'd understand.
Every time I tried to tell you,
The words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song.
Every time the time was right,
All the words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song
Yeah, I know it's kinda late.
Hope I didn't wake you,
But there's something I just gotta say.
Know you'd understand.
Every time I tried to tell you,
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song.

We were very happy
Well at least I thought we were
Can't somebody tell me
What's got into her
A house, a home, a family
And a man who loves her so
Who'd believe she'd leave us
To join a burlesque show?
Say has anybody seen my
Sweet Gypsy Rose?
Here's her picture when she was my
Sweet Mary Jo
Now she's got rings on her fingers
And bells on her toes
Say has anybody seen my
Sweet gypsy Rose?
Oh, I know when Mary Jo's been dancin'
Here in New Orleans
In this smoke-filled honky-tonk
They call the land of dreams
Whoah, here she comes a-struttin'
In her birthday clothes
Say has anybody seen my
Sweet gypsy Rose?
Whoah, baby, baby,
Won'tcha come home
Say, we all miss ya
And every night we kiss your picture
Whoiah Rose, one night the lights go dim,
And the crowd goes home
That's the day you wake up
And you find you're all alone
So let's say goodbye to Gypsy
Hello Mary Jo
Say has anybody seen my
Sweet Gypsy Rose
(Instrumental)
So take those rings off your fingers
And bells off your toes
Say has anybody seen my
Now you know just what I mean by
Has anybody seen my Sweet Gypsy Rose?

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take her man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take me even though you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And she cannot compete with you, Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take her man
But you don't know what she means to me, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take her man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take me just because you can
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
I'm the only one for her, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take her man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take me even though you can
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene!

Yesterday morning, I was sitting all alone
I had nobody to call my own
And then you came along
with the love that you dearly hold
Darlin' what could I say
Thank you for telling me you love me
Thank you for telling me you care
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for giving me
Thank you for giving it all for me!
Thank you for telling me ''I love you''
Thank you for telling me ''I need you''
You gotta be the one to see
How much you meant to me
And how much I love you too
This love is true I can tell right away
This love is as pure as a bright golden day
This love is something
that just doesn't come
24 hours a day
Thank you for telling me you love me
Thank you for telling me you care
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for giving me
Thank you for giving it all for me!
Thank you for telling me ''I love you''
Thank you for telling me ''I need you''
You gotta be the one to see
How much you meant to me
And how much I love you too
Now that our wedding day has finally arrived
I've got to teach you things to keep it alive
I've got to give the ring to you and say I do
Darling, won't you say it to me?
Thank you for telling me you love me
Thank you for telling me you care
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for giving me
Thank you for giving it all for me!
Thank you for telling me ''I love you''
Thank you for telling me ''I need you''
You gotta be the one to see
How much you meant to me
And how much I love you too

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air..
Where are the clowns?
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move...
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.
Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours.
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines...
No one is there.
Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want...
Sorry, my dear!
And where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here.

I hold your hand and gently touch your hair
Then we'll walk together hand in hand
The way it used to be
The way you smile and kiss me tenderly
Tears begin to fill my misty eyes
Now you are gone from me
Where are you going to, my love
Will you come back when the sun shines
Anytime you want to come home
It's all right
Where are you going to, my love
Will our love return tomorrow
Anytime you want to call me
It's all right
I hear your voice
It's always haunting me
Everywhere I turn I see you face
But you're never there
You're all I have,
You're all I'm living for
I can't bear the pain and misery
Please come back to me
Where are you going to, my love
Will you come back when the sun shines
Anytime you want to come home
It's all right
Where are you going to, my love
Will our love return tomorrow
Anytime you want to call me
It's all right
[instrumental break]
Where are you going to, my love
Will you come back when the sun shines
Anytime you want to come home
It's all right
Where are you going to, my love
Will our love return tomorrow
Anytime you want to call me
It's all right

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye Papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them, I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
All our lives, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
(fades)

I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you
It's a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing's going right
Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you?
Yes I'm down and feeling blue
And I don't know what to do, oh-oh
Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
You were here and now you're gone
Hey did I do something wrong?
I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you?
Tell me, are we really through?
Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking
Please forgive and then forget
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh
Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend?
What have I done that has made you so distant and cold?
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again
Will you be happy when you are withered and old?
I can't offer you diamonds or mansions so fine
And I can't offer you clothes your young body crave
But if you'd love me and say that you'll always be mine
Think of the heartaches the tears and the sorrow, you'll save honey.
When you are weary and tired of another man's gold
If you ever get lonesome remember this letter my own
But don't try to answer though I've suffered sorrow untold
If you don't love me I wish you would leave me alone...
Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend?
