Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.
When all I have is dreams of you that won’t come true,
What’ll I do?
What’ll I Do – Irving Berlin
Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It’s only me who wants to wrap around your dreams
And have you any dreams you’d like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
Oh, what you lost
Fleetwood Mac - Dreams
I can remember planning
Building my whole world around you
I can remember hoping
That you and I could make it on through
But something went wrong
We loved each other
We just couldn’t get along
Take a good look at me
I’m in misery, can’t you see?
The love I lost
Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes
And her love seemed to offer a solution
For endless beginnings and so I went spinning
Into her to love her,
But found her one answer
For loving and losing the same.
Mason Williams - A Saturday Night at the World
So if you wake and find me gone
Oh baby carry on you see I need my
Fantasy I still believe it’s best to
Leave while I’m in love I still believe
It’s best to leave while I’m in love
Rita Coolidge
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I’ll be gone
You’re the reason I’m trav’lin’ on
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Bob Dylan
Now, I love you more than I
Loved you before and now
Where I’ll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Oh yeah, you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most
Randy Van Warmer
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.
Lucille – Kenny Rogers
If ever I would leave you it wouldn’t be in Summer
Seeing you in Summer I never could go.
Camelot
I done ran into my baby
And finally found my old blue jean
I done ran into my baby
And finally found my old blue jean
Well, I could tell that they was mine
From the oil and the gasoline
ZZ Top - Blue Jean Blues
RIP, Dusty.
You know what she’s thinking about
And it turns you inside out
She don’t say nothing but, baby makes her blue jeans talk
Dr. Hook, “Baby Makes Her Blue Jeans Talk”
Blue jean baby queen, prettiest girl I’ve ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen
Jimmy Dean

David Essex - Rock On
It’s a world of kings and queens Up there on that movie screen
It’s a picnic crossin’ River Kwai
The movies are great medicine – Thank you, Thomas Edison,
For givin’ us the best years of our lives
The Statler Brothers – The Movies
-“BB”-
Sometimes I get to thinking that I’ve passed this point in life one time before.
Like the re-run of some movie that I saw a thousand Saturdays ago.
And I get the feeling that I know exactly what your gonna do and say before it happens
in each scene.
I find myself rehearsing for that blackout situation, when the punchline reaches
out and punches me.
Mason Williams - I’ve Heard That Tear-stained Monologue You Do There By The Door Before You Go
I was sleepin’ like a rat
When I heard something jerkin’
There stood Rita
Lookin’ just like Tony Perkins
She said, “Would you like to take a shower?
I’ll show you up to the door”
I said, “Oh, no! no!
I’ve been through this movie before”
Zimmie: Motorpsycho Nitemare
If his eyes get dull and fishy
When you look for glints and gleams
Waste no time
Make a switch
Drop him in the nearest ditch
Rub him out of the roll call
And drum humdrumbum right out of your dreams
South Pacific - I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair
I’ve loved and I’ve lost (yeah, yeah)
But that’s not what I see (yeah, yeah)
'Cause look what I’ve found (yeah, yeah)
Ain’t no need for searching
And for that, I say
Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next (thank you)
Ariana Grande
When I’m not near the girl I love, I love the girl I’m near.
Finian’s Rainbow, When I’m Not Near the Girl I Love E.Y. “Yip” Harburg / Burton Lane
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable coming in from above
Don’t need no phone at all
We’ve got a thing that’s called radar love
We’ve got a wave in the air
Radar love
Golden Earring
