GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #340 (GOLQ340)

breakers. However, for a few of these, the theme applies figuratively
rather than literally.

If I were you
I'd take a permanent vacation
#01)

I've been in this town so long
It's back in the city
I've been taken for lost and gone
And unknown for a long, long time
#02)

Now I'm crying
But deep down inside
Well I did it to him
Now it's my turn to die
#03)

The room will change today
I have no place to stay
Thinking about the subway
#04)

And I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
She had made me happy (happy, happy)
(She had made me very happy)
Flowers in her hair (in her hair)
Flowers everywhere (everywhere, everywhere)
#05)

It ain't me
It ain't me
I'm no Senator's son
#06)

And I'm so glad we made it
So glad we made it
#07)

One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love
Graduation's almost here, my love
#08)

Never had you on my mind
Now you're there all the time
#09)

Will cause you pain
Although you love them
They'll stop you just the same
#10)

People, they rush everywhere
Each with their own secret care
#11)

Open up your arms
And let me waltz on in
Open up your heart
And let me live again
#12)

I, I don't want
To ever say goodnight
I need you
I want you near me
#13)

I'm not content to be with you in the daytime
Girl, I want to be with you all of the time
#14)

Let your hair down, girl
Let it hang down on me
#15)

Honey in the morning
Honey in the evening
Honey at suppertime
So be my little honey
And love me all the time
#16)

I love the way you always treat me tenderly
But darling most of all
#17)

So long, my honey
Goodbye, my dear
#18)

There's a beat for you
In every toast to the wine
#19)

Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be comin' home
Wait for me
#20)

Look at how they wobble
He's the best in town
I think I'm in trouble
She forgets that I'm around
#21)

I want him
And I need him
And someday, some way, woh-woh-woh
I'll meet him
#22)

Your life is so lonely
Like a child without a toy
Then a miracle: a boy
And that's called glad
#23)

Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle in the night
#24)

The tears are always cloudin' your eyes
When you're without love
#25)

------------
Tie-Breakers
------------

Now all the boys in my block
Try to bop the blues
They dance all night til daylight
In their boppin' shoes
They danced so long
They danced away their blues
#T1)

In my room
Nothin' but gloom
Nothin' but lonely misery
Nothin' but pain and a memory
And I'm alone
#T2)
