She was standing in the crowd, All alone and lookin’ pretty, Listening to the music that we played. She walked up and whispered, I leaned down and listened, To the request that she made. "Do you know _(do you know)_ ‘You Are My Sunshine’ "? She asked so sweet and tenderly; “Do you know _(do you know)_ ‘You Are My Sunshine’? And would you do it one more time for me?” Statler Brothers - _Do You Know You Are My Sunshine_ _ **-“BB”-** _ ---

Back home again in Indiana, And it seems that I can see The gleaming candle light, still burning bright, Through the Sycamores for me. The new-mown hay sends all its fragnance Through the fields I used to roam. When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash Then I long for my Indiana home. ---

It hurts to see the man that I’ve become, And to know I’ll never see the morning sunshine on the land, I’ll never see your smiling face or touch your hand, If just once more I could see you, our home and our little baby; Indiana wants me, Lord, I can’t go back there… R.

I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love, As she lies here beside me asleep with the night. Her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow, Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight. But I’ve got to creep down the alley way, Fly down the highway, Before they come to catch me I’ll be gone. Somewhere they can’t find me. Simon & Garfunkel, _Somewhere They Can’t Find Me_ ---
