If this ain’t love?
Bud Elkin © 2022
[CHORUS]
If this ain’t love, then what can it be?
It is contagious, so, stay away from me.
If this ain’t love I must have fell and hit my head.
If this ain’t love, I’ll have to stay in this bed.
[VERSE]
What is this feeling that I think I’ve found?
My head is spinning like a merry-go-round.
How long will last, oh I wonder?
You say forever, did I hear some thunder?
[CHORUS]
If this ain’t love, then what can it be?
It is contagious, so, stay away from me.
If this ain’t love I must have fell and hit my head.
If this ain’t love, I’ll have to stay in this bed.
[BRIDGE TO CHORUS]
Oh, poor me. What will I do?
I ‘m so excited she said, I love you.
Shall I embrace this new way of life?
I’m so happy I am getting a wife.
[VERSE] 2
Now I see, what I’ve got to do.
Life will be easy with me loving you.
romantic dinners say I’ve fallin love
Now I’m so happy, being in love.

LAST LETTER
David Lester (c)copyright 2021
(VERSE)
Mamma…. It's been so long, since I wrote anything to you
I'm afraid I won’t make it through the night
Been on the run for oh so long
Not quite sure where I went wrong
At the gallows they want me down…….to take me down,
way down
(CHORUS)
Writing letters home for you to read
I’m a man that will never ever be free
When you read this, oh, I'll be gone, all alone
Away I ride with no end in sight
(VERSE)
oh my love, by the time this letter, finds its way to you
I'll be gone in the night not wanting to leave you behind
I'm a man on the run, as I will always be
A wife home alone will be your destiny
(CHORUS)
Writing letters home for you to read
I’m a man that will never ever be free
When you read this oh, I'll be gone, all alone
Away I ride with no end in sight
Away I ride
with no end in sight
I'm gone
with no where to hide
I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone
(CHORUS)
Writing letters home for you to see
I’ve become a man that will never be free
When you read this I'll be gone
Away I ride with no end in sight
A selfish man hiding in the night

RADIO OUTLAW

Turn on the radio and sing with me, RADIO OUTLAW is open and free
Independent music radio show.
Bakersfield's world radio
[verse]
Heartache and troubles look for me in the clouds, of my mind, of my mind
Sometimes they hide, away from me. I don't know, where they go
Finding a way to break up the clouds, and clear my mind, fog in my mind...
The only thing working is that radio time, RADIO OUTLAW, radio time
[bridge]
Going to the well to find some solace and peace. RADIO OUTLAW rocks me to sleep, sleep, sleep
[Chorus]
Turn on the radio and sing with me, RADIO OUTLAW is open and free
Independent music radio show.

[verse]
With every inch of my body and soul, music is the cure for any ailment you know
RADIO OUTLAW puts you in the mood.
You only need to tune in and be renewed
They open up the archive and take you back, or send you over to the new music rack
If that doesn't work they'll turn you on, to the outlaw radio worldwide tracks
[bridge]
Going to the well to find some solace and peace.
RADIO OUTLAW rocks me to sleep, sleep sleep
[Chorus]
Turn on the radio and sing with me, RADIO OUTLAW is open and free
Independent music radio show.

[Chorus]

Emily
(c)copyright bud elkin 2021
Emilys' runnin for the city lights, she's tired of the country living.
She wants out, to seek her fortune
in the movies, tabloids, and picture books
[chorus]
Oh my my, you can hear them talkin, bout what she might find, what she finds out there
No one thought to ask her opinion
or whether they really cared
Oh my my, you can see them prancing, and giving everyone their view of the move
No one thought to ask her opinion
or what they thought she had to prove
########################
VERSE
She thinks a change will do her good
make her the woman she wanted to be
No more livin in a fantasy world
she would live her life on silver screen
[chorus]
Oh my my, you can hear them talkin, bout what she might find, what she finds out there
No one thought to ask her opinion
or whether they really cared
Oh my my, you can see them prancing, and giving everyone their view of the move
No one thought to ask her opinion
or what they thought she had to prove
########################
She got her break in a western movie
playin a woman on the run
her dream came true on the silver screen
she never had to look in the sun
[chorus]
Oh my my, you can hear them talkin, bout what she might find, what she finds out there
No one thought to ask her opinion
or whether they really cared
Oh my my, you can see them prancing, and giving everyone their view of the move
No one thought to ask her opinion
or what they thought she had to prove
[chorus]
Oh my my, you can hear them talkin, bout what she might find, what she finds out there
No one thought to ask her opinion
or whether they really cared
Oh my my, you can see them prancing, and giving everyone their view of the move
No one thought to ask her opinion
or what they thought she had to prove

April in Paris
bud elkin Bruce Seifert(c) copyright 2021
I, want that love that, lasts me for a long time
not one that just fades away
My dream is to find, someone to be mine
that no one can lead astray
Dreams may be for dreamers, but, love is forever
When I find my love to be.
Walking hand in hand, in my dream together
I know these dreams are made for me.
[CHORUS]
April in Paris with love in your eyes
we'll dance forever at Chez Leon
Our love will take us all the way
April in Paris with love
[verse]
This love I dream of, I catch it in the clouds and, will never, let it go
We can take it to Paris where love comes to find, Lovers who want to know
Our love will find us, dancing in the moonlight,and walks along the river Seine
Talking till sunrise, of things we both dream of, even in the misty rain
[chorus]
April in Paris with love in your eyes
we'll dance forever at Chez Leon
Our love will take us all the way
April in Paris with love
[chorus out]
April in Paris with love in your eyes
we'll dance forever at Chez Leon
Our love will take us all the way
April in Paris with love
April in Paris with love
April in Paris with love

Can’t get you out of my mind
©copyright Bud Elkin 2021
Hangin round, on a beach side hammock
Waitin for the sun to set.
watching out over the ocean
lookin for ways to forget
But I cant get you out of my mind no matter
What I try to do with that
No I cant get you, cant get you, cant get you,
outta my mind.
[verse 2]
Last night, on that moonlight stroll
We connected like never before
Talkin till the sun came over the water
I was hoping love was restored
But I cant get you out of my mind no matter what
I try to do with that
No I cant get you, cant get you, cant get you,
outta my mind.
[VERSE 3]
Will the sun come up with me thinkin of you
There’s a good chance it’ll go that way.
Memories keep pushing through
of any thoughts other than you
And I cant get you out of my mind no matter what
I try to do with that
No I cant get you, cant get you, cant get you,
outta my mind.
[bridge to can’t get]
You make my life worth living, in my confused state of mind
Save me from the past, and let me leave it all behind
If you give me just a little time, you will see what I can do
Signs of change will reveal themselves, as sure as the sky is blue
But I cant get you out of my mind no matter what
I try to do with that
No I cant get you, cant get you, cant get you,
outta my mind.

Never let me go
(c)copyright bud elkin 2022
I see everything so clearly now.
You opened my eyes to it all.
Why does it take so long for clouds to clear?
could we be missing the call
I want our love, to chase away the those clouds.
Why does it take so long for eyes to clear?
(chorus)
I don't remember when I ever loved you more
I've always been yours you know
We are so happy in love and more
Life has been good to you and me
I know the way that I touch you.
softly and slowly we come together
embrace me while I hold you close to me
and never let me go
and never let me go
and never let me go
BRIDGE
(chorus)
I don't remember when I ever loved you more
I've always been yours you know
We are so happy in love and more
Life has been good to you and me
You hide your emotions so well from me
I see right through the clouded veil
embrace me while I hold you close to me
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
(chorus)
I don't remember when I ever
loved you more
I've always been yours you know
We are so happy in love and more
Life has been good to you and me
