Song Lyrics
DON'T EVER LET ME CATCH YOU GIVING UP ON MY LOVE (Kastel)
Don't ever let me catch you giving up on my love
No matter how hard, no matter how rough
Don't ever let me catch you giving up on my love
When the going gets tough, when you’ve had enough
There’s a treasure that you’ll find just around the corner
When you’ve giving all you feel and your just about a goner
Come on baby take me by the hand
don’t you know I want to be your man and take a stand
I can’t live without your love,
And I’m praying to the stars above
That you’re the one that fills my heart with love
Don't ever let me catch you giving up on my love
no matter how hard, no matter how rough.
Don't ever let me catch you giving up on my love
When the going gets tough, when you’ve had enough
Girl when you’re feelin’ kind of sad up tight and lonely
I want you to smile and think of me only
When you’re holding me the pain is gone
With our love I know we’ll both be strong enough to carry on
I can’t live without your love, and I’m pray ‘in to the stars above
that you’re the one that fills my heart with love, with love, baby
Don't ever let me catch you giving up on my love,
No matter how hard, no matter how rough
Don't ever let me catch you giving up on my love
When the going gets tough, when you’ve had enough

HOBO BLUES (Kastel)
I got the Hobo Blues, a pair of walkin’ shoes
A suitcase in my hand
Guitar over my shoulder, a regular one-man band
Well, it’s a traveling show that won’t make much dough
You might come up with an empty hand
But, by tomorrow night that promised land ain’t in sight
I’ll do my playing where I can
I got to write it all down when I get into that town
I can bet you; yes, siree
A brand-new song is about to be born
Coming right out of me
So, when I’m busted, flat-broke and it really ain’t a joke
I can strum me a pretty song
And them that’s around might lay some money down
While they listen to me get it on
I got the Hobo Blues and yesterday’s news
I may wonder why but I don’t fret
I got the memory of the one I love now
You know that just can’t forget
You got nothing to lose with them Hobo Blues
You just walk along with me
We’ll share our load down the road
Now, slice a piece of life with me
Oh yeah, slice a piece of life with me
Oh, slice a piece of life with me

FIRST IMPRESSIONS (Kastel/Vannata)
My first impression of love
Was more than I ever dreamed of
I never knew what true love could do
Until the day I met you
When you first asked me to stay
In your arms through the night and the day
I never dreamed what a kiss could bring
Until the day I met you
First impressions, first impressions,
Told me that your love was so true
First impressions, first impressions
Told me that I'd fall in love with you
Now as we live our whole life through
I'm sure that you feel that way too
First impressions were our guiding light
First impressions never lied, they were right
First impressions, first impressions of love

GOOD OLD ROCK and ROLL (Kastel/Vannata)
You know it’s hard to realize that time is passing by
Cause my baby and me were as happy as we can be
But when we reminisce, we always seem to miss
That good old rock and roll.
Don’t you remember how the harmony
Used to be the specialty, it made my baby fall in love with me, that good old rock and roll
You know that good old rock and roll,
You know the twist the fly and the stroll
You know I’ll never ever, ever grow old
When I listen to my rock and roll
I can’t forget about my 54 Ford
Two skirts, three deuces and a four on the floor
And a radio that used to roar that good old rock and roll
You know that good old rock and roll,
You know the twist the fly and the stroll
You know I’ll never ever, ever grow old
When I listen to my rock and roll
It doesn’t seem so long ago we were rockin’ round the clock
You know, to the Bandstand and the Night Train Show
How I still love my rock and roll
You know that good old rock and roll,
You know the twist the fly and the stroll
You know I’ll never ever, ever grow old
When I listen to my rock and
Listen to my rock and
Listen to my rock and roll
Good night sweetheart, well it’s time to go
Before you do, I’d just like you to know
Just let me hear some of that good old rock and roll
You know the twist the fly and the stroll
You know I’ll never ever, ever grow old
When I listen to my rock and
Listen to my rock and
Listen to my rock and roll

NEVER GONNA LEAVE IT (Kastel)
Never gonna leave it, when I find out what was once well known
Never gonna leave it, when I find out what was once well known
You can’t hide your mind in an old fruit jar
You can’t sail your soul up to the stars
Baby don’t you know I’m just tryin’ talk to you
Hey now, mama don’t believe it, when they try they’ll tell you what to do.
Whoa, mama don’t believe it, when they try they’ll tell you what
to do
You can’t hide your mind in an old fruit jar
You can’t sail your soul up to the stars
Baby don’t you know I’m just tryin’ talk to you
Whoa talking to you
You know I will receive it when I come on and give it on right back to you
You know I will receive it when I come on and give it on right back

You can’t hide your mind in an old fruit jar
You can’t sail your soul up to the stars
Baby don’t you know I’m just tryin’ talk to you

IT'S JUST YOUR LOVE (Kastel)
It’s not a tootsie pop, it’s not a Cracker Jack box,
It’s not a spinning top, it’s not a soda pop,
It’s not a cereal prize, ooh that look in your eyes.
It ain’t no toy that brings me joy, it’s just your love.
It ain’t a shopping spree, it’s not the money tree,
It’s not the clothes you wear, it’s not the food we share.
It’s not the car you drive, ooh that look in your eyes.
It ain’t no toy that brings me joy it’s just your love.
It’s just your love makes me jump and shout.
It’s just your love turns me inside out.
You touch my hand, beat my heart like a popcorn stand
It’s just your love, it’s just your love.
It’ not a night in June, it’s not a pink balloon,
It’s not a diamond ring, or some material thing.
It’s not a great surprise, ooh that look in your eyes.
It ain’t no toy that brings me joy it’s just your love.
It’s not a fine new suit, or a hiking boot,
It’s not your gift of rap, it’s not the toe you tap.
It’s not the winning smile, ooh that look in your eyes.
It ain’t no toy that brings me joy it’s just your love.
It’s just your love makes me jump and shout.
It’s just your love turns me inside out.
You touch my hand, beat my heart like a popcorn stand.
It’s just your love; it’s just your love
it’s just your love

LITTLE MAN (Kastel)
Little man you’ve got a big job to do
Right now, your Daddy’s feeling smaller than you
And I need someone who I can turn to
Someone who loves me like you
I can’t blame your mom for being ambitious.
She just couldn’t take all the house work and the dishes.
We thought our love would hold it all together
But we fell apart for worse and not for better
And little man you’ve got a big job to do
Right now, your Dad’s feeling smaller than you
And I need someone who I can turn to
Someone who loves me like you.
Little man on the floor your tying your shoe
Your precious face can sure change my mood
But through my faint smile you can’t see
The ocean of tears welling up inside me
She was tied up and dried up and hung on the line
She had to get out and live out her feelings inside
With no warning like a shot she fired at my heart
Now this strong man is as weak as he can be
And little man you’ve got a big job to do
Right now, your Daddy’s feeling smaller than you
And I need someone who I can turn to
Someone who loves me like you

IN A LONELY ROOM (Kastel)
In a lonely room, in a lonely place
There’s a man inside you can embrace
With his empty room and his tearful face
There’s a world inside now you can erase
With love, sweet love, with love, sweet, sweet love,
With love
Yeah yeah yeah, I’m as lonely as I can be
Praying for tomorrow, to bring me some company
Walls can you hear me, I said you ain’t no friend of mine
You never smile or cheer me; I feel I’m going out of my mind
In a lonely room, in a lonely place
There’s a man inside you can embrace
With his empty room and his tearful face
There’s a world inside now mama you can erase
With love, sweet love, with love, oh sweet love
With love
Yeah, yeah yeah, I’m as lonely as I can be
Praying for tomorrow, got to bring me some company now
Walls can you hear me, I said you ain’t no friend of mine
You smile nor cheer me; I feel I’m going out of my mind
I’m as lonely baby as I can be yeah, i’s waiting for tomorrow
Got to bring me, got to bring me some company now
Walls can you hear me now (I’m talkin’ to you )
You’re no friend of mine, you never smile or cheer me
I feel I’m going out of my mind.

DADDY'S GETTING LESSONS (Kastel)
She never told me about the rain
She never told me about the pain
Baby’s gone and left me got nothing left to lose
Daddy’s getting’ lessons in the blues
Baby used to love me now she don’t care
Found another lover, I found despair
Now my heart is busted no need to shout the news
Daddy’s gettin’ lessons in the blues
I'm walking sad and lonely for my one and only
Lost my lover my best friend
Can’t take this much sorrow but wait until tomorrow
Baby won’t you come back again
One old fine day when all my crying’s done
You’ll find me standing in the morning sun
Until that day comes round me there's not much I can do,Daddy’s getting lessons in the blues
I'm walking sad and lonely for my one and only
Lost my lover my best friend
Can’t take this much sorrow but wait until tomorrow baby won’t you come back again

RAINY DAY MELODY (Kastel)
Let’s write a song, what do you say
Let’s save it up for a rainy day
Gonna save it till we need it when were old and gray
Can you think of a better way? Make a little sunshine chase those
dark clouds away, that’s how it’s gonna be
Write a little rainy day, write a little rainy day, write a little rainy-day melody
Take a little sweetness and harmony, take a little rhyme from the rhymin’ tree.
Gonna add a little soul from you and me, well that’s how it’s gonna be.
Write a little rainy day, write a little rainy day, write a little rainy-day melody
Now I know that life’s got it’s up and downs.
Don’t let bad feelings push you around
Some people wait forever and their ship won’t come in but my rainy day song will make you grin
Music’s forever that’s what they say. Who’s gonna know me when I fade away
You know just how easy tomorrow turns into yesterday.
Can you think of a better way?
Make a little sunshine chase those
Dark clouds away, that’s how it’s gonna be.
Write a little rainy day, want to write a rainy day, write a little rainy-day melody.
Want to write a rainy day, want to write a rainy day, want to write a rainy day

LOVE IS ALL YOU (Kastel)
Close your eyes don’t whisper come and put your head on my shoulder.
You have come here now much older than when we first met I told her.
Dreams are made by those who are sleeping, hopes are lost by those who are weeping.
So take me now my loves for keeping you near me for always and ever.
I can tell by the way you look at me, that your afraid of what you found.
Let the sunlight in the morning show you baby, I’ll still be around.
I have been through such a long and lonely time. Life is short but while I still have mine
All my love until time is through is all you.

LIKE ABRAHAM'S SON (Kastel)
Now we will have this child, to seal our names in the book of blood and stone
Forever and forever till death do us part
But where’s my her art my love and where’s my love my heart?
And lord knows I’m a God fearing Christian man.
Sometimes I feel like Abraham’s son about to be slaughtered instead of the ram
Yes, I know we’ve been crying for a long long time
Just now I feel as though the pain has come and gone
Turn your face from the shadows of a broken day
And light your smile on the face of a newborn child
And lord knows I’m a God fearing Christian man.
Sometimes I feel like Abraham’s son about to be slaughtered instead of the ram
And light your smile on the face of a newborn child
And lord knows I’m a God fearing Christian man
Sometimes I feel like Abraham’s son about to be slaughtered instead of the ram.

BLIND MAN (Kastel)
A blind man, a hungry man, coming to my door
I believe I will help him like I’ve done before
I will fill his skins with water, give but what he asks
cause his desert roads a long one, hard one yet to pass
And then he spoke his thoughts of different points of view
He said I’ve seen the evening rain and the sun-drenched morning dew
And if I see that sign along the crowded road
I’d look again and not pretend that I’m no wiser now
that I’m no wiser because I’m old.
I’m no wiser because I’m old.
A blind man a smiling man leaving from my door.
I believe he has helped me like he’s done before.
