Born Too Late (The Poni-Tails)

Born Too Late (The Poni-Tails)

Born too late for you to notice me
To you, I'm just a kid that you won't date
Why was I born too late?

Born too late to have a chance to win your love
Oh why, oh why was it my fate
To be born too late?

I see you walk with another
I wish it could be me
I long to hold you and kiss you
But I know it never can be

For I was
Born too late for you to care
Now my heart cries
Because your heart just couldn't wait
Why was I born too late?

Born too late for you to care
Now my heart cries
Because your heart just couldn't wait
Why was I born too la-a-a-a-ate?
Why was I born too late?
Too Late.

Dedicated To The One I Love (The Shirelles)

Dedicated To The One I Love (The Shirelles)

This is dedicated to the one I love.....

While I'm far away from you, my baby (whoo-hoo),
I know it's hard for you, my baby (whoo-hoo).
Because it's hard for me, my baby (whoo-hoo).
And the darkest hour is just before dawn.

Each night before you go to bed, my baby (whoo-hoo),
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby (whoo-hoo).
And tell all the stars above,
This is dedicated to the one I love, oh-oh, oh-oh.

Life can never be exactly like we want it to be.
But I can be satisfied just knowing that you love me.
(There's one thing I want you to do, especially for me.)
And it's something that everybody needs.

Each night before you go to bed, my baby (whoo-hoo),
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby (whoo-hoo).
And tell all the stars above,
This is dedicated to the one I love, oh-oh, oh-oh.

This is dedicated to the one I love.
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.)
This is dedicated to the one I love.

At Last (Etta James)

At Last (Etta James)

At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

Ohh yeah yeah

At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known

Ohh yeah yeah?

You smiled, you smiled
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
for you are mine....At Last
