Apples Don't Fall Far From The Tree lyrics - Cher

When I was five

I put on Mama's high heel shoes

And paint my face

And dance across the living room

In Ruby's place

Well the music was always playing

Girls laugh while the men were sayin'

Apples don't fall far from the tree

Hey, honey come sit on my knee

Apples don't fall far from the tree

And I remember Mama's tears

When they said in a few years

I'd be something to see

At seventeen I had me a diamond

And a string of pearls

The men said they preffered me

To the other girls

They took me to the best places

But I could read it on their faces

Apples don't fall far from the tree

Hey, honey come sit on my knee

Apples don't fall far from the tree

And I remember Mama's tears

When they said in a few years

I'd be something to see

Then when Mama died I made up my mind

To get on a Greyhound , get out of this town

And leave it all behind

But life goes on

A child of three smiles up at me

While she plays

The man I love has never heard of "Ruby's Place"

When he holds her with affection

And he uses that old expression

Apples don't fall far from the tree

Hey, honey come sit on my knee

Apples don't fall far from the tree

And I remember Mama's tears

When they said in a few years

I'd be something to see

My Love lyrics - Cher

(originally by Wings)

When I go away

I know my heart can stay with my love

It's understood

Everywhere with my love

My love does it good, whoa

My love, oh only my love

My love does it good

And when the cupboard's bare

I'll still find something there with my love

It's understood

Everywhere with my love

My love does it so good, whoa

My love, oh only my love

My love does it good

Only my love, oh only my love

Only my love, hold the other things to me

Oh, only my love, oh only my love

Only my love does it good to me

Everywhere with my love

Don't you see my love

It does it so good

Oh, only my love, only my love

My love does it good

Don't ever ask me why

I never say "good-bye" to my love

It's understood

'Cause everywhere with my love

My love does it good, whoa

Only my love, oh only my love

My love does it good

Oh only my love

Only my love does it good to me,whoa

Two People Clinging To A Thread lyrics - Cher

Once we wake up everyday 

And smiled remembering 

How we loved the night away 

Now we look for small talk 

When it's time to dim the light 

Then we both pretend we're tired 

We can always love some other night 

So we wake up in the morning 

And we go our separate ways 

Present in our silence 

As the music softly plays 

Each day like the day before 

We tell ourselves 

We'll try once more 

To once again we lay here 

Barely touching in our bed 

We're just two people 

Clinging to a thread 

And so we just pretend a bit 

And we never say the words 

That spell the end of it 

Still we go on trying 

To fan the dying spark 

And sometimes 

Even reach out 

For each other in the dark

Half Breed lyrics - Cher

My father married a pure Cherokee 

My mother's people were ashamed of me 

The indians said I was white by law 

The White Man always called me "Indian Squaw"

[Chorus:] 

Half-breed, that's all I ever heard 

Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word 

Half-breed, she's no good they warned 

Both sides were against me since the day I was born

We never settled, went from town to town 

When you're not welcome you don't hang around 

The other children always laughed at me "Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee"

[Repeat Chorus]

We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed 

Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame 

My life since then has been from man to man 

But I can't run away from what I am

[Repeat chorus]

The Greatest Song I Ever Heard lyrics - Cher

Now the greenest green I've ever seen

Was the grass on which you laid

And the bluest blue was in my eyes

When you said you couldn't stay

And the biggest lost I ever took

Was losing what we've begun

And the greatest song I ever heard

Was the one we never sung

Now the reddest red I've always said

Is the sunset coming down

Soon the blackest night that kills the light

Is the only thing around

And the downest down I ever been

Is when I knew my race was run

And the greatest song I ever heard

Was the one we never sung

Time will kill the pain they say

And we'll live to love another day

If you wanna win you got to play the game

Now the greatest break came on the day

We were standing in the rain

And the hardest hurt I've ever know

Was when you tried to ease my pain

And the longest day in history

Waiting till my crying's done

And the saddest song I ever heard

Was the one we finally sung

How Can You Mend A Broken Heart? lyrics - Cher

(originally by Bee Gees)

I can think of younger days

When living for my life

Was everything a man could want to do?

I could never see tomorrow

But I was never told about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?

How can you stop the rain from falling down?

How can you stop the sun from shining?

What makes the world go round?

How can you mend this broken man?

How can a loser ever win?

Please help me mend my broken heart

And let me live again

I can still feel the breeze

That rustles through the trees

And misty memories do days gone by

We could never see tomorrow

No one said a word about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?

How can you stop the rain from falling down?

How can you stop the sun from shining?

What makes the world go round?

How can you mend this broken man?

How can a loser ever win?

Please help me mend my broken heart

And let me live again

Carousel Man lyrics - Cher

I had a taste of bitter life

At sweet sixteen

I was growing up too fast

If you know what I mean

Met an older man

Who taught me his own way to live

And all I had to do to keep him

Was to give and give

The carousel man

Kept me going around and round

Carousel man always know

That I'd stay around

The carousel man

Wouldn't let me off his merry-go-round

I followed him around in traveling shows

Along the main county lines

Watching him drinking his mind away

Not ever knowing my name at time

Each night when the show closed down

He used to tell me of his dreams

He was wearing new French suits

While I mended my torn jeans

The carousel man

Kept me going around and round

Carousel man always know

That I'd stay around

The carousel man

Wouldn't let me off his merry-go-round

Then one night in Santa Fe

The horses stop going around

There he was my poor rich man

Lying on the Mexico ground

All the sad music of his life

Is still spinning in my mind

The carousel starts up again

And I found my place in life

The carousel man

Kept me going around and round

Carousel man always know

That I'd stay around

The carousel man

Wouldn't let me off his merry-go-round

The carousel man

Kept me going around and round

Carousel man always know

That I'd stay around

The carousel man

Wouldn't let me off his merry-go-round

David's Song lyrics - Cher

Won'tcha let me rock and roll you baby

I haven't seen you in a long, long time

I haven't fooled around with any candles lately

Just thought you might have some music in mind

Ah I just want to serenade you

Maybe we could even live a verse or two

And I could finish this ole love song

So I could start singing it to you

I could start singing it to you

If I could finish this ole love song

And I could start singing it to you

Won't you come and boogie-woogie with me baby

It's been a while since I held you close to me

I haven't met many boys like you baby

Knew I would find you eventually

Ah I just want to serenade you

Maybe we could even live a verse or two

And I could finish this ole love song

So I could start singing it to you

I could start singing it to you

If I could finish this ole love song

And I could start singing it to you

Melody lyrics - Cher

Melody, you're my oldest friend 

I can talk to you what a day it's been 

Out there in the mad men crush 

Another days gone down in a dusk

Melody listen for the phone 

While I change my clothes he knows by now I'm home 

Three days waiting took its toll 

This trying to stop it's crying is getting old

Melody remember long summer days 

Playing grown ups in the city 

Mamma said sleep sleep sleepy heads 

Tucked in bed with your favourite dolly oh

Melody with you raggedy charms 

I have looked for love in a stranger's arms 

Scared of going home of what they'll say 

You know mamma's eyes could always look right through 

Daddy won't be so proud of me 

No they won't understand like you Melody

The Long And Winding Road lyrics - Cher

(originally by The Beatles)

The long and winding road 

That leads to your door 

Will never disappear oh well 

I've seen the road before 

And it always brings me here 

Leads me to your door 

The long and winding road 

That the rain washed away 

That left a pool of tears 

I cried all the days. 

Why leave me standing here 

Oh let me know the way

As many times I will amould 

And many times I've cried 

And many times you won't know 

And many times I've tried still 

They lead me back 

To that long and winding road 

That left me standing here 

A long long time ago 

Don't leave me standing 

Here take me to your door.

But still they lead me back 

To that long and winding road 

You left me standing here 

A long long time ago 

Oh please don't leave me here alone 

Take me to your door

This God-Forsaken Day lyrics - Cher

Read your note this mornin'.

'bye-bye girl', that's all it said.

Glad I found it first,

Before the kids got out of bed.

Baked a tray of muffins.

Hung some wet-wash out to dry.

By the time the kids got up,

I could look them in the eye.

You've gone away, you've gone away.

How will I get though the day? 

This god-forsaken day.

Drank some bitter coffee.

Read your note ten times or more.

When I'd washed the dishes twice,

I got down and scrubbed the floor.

Empty chair at supper.

Everybody's actin' strange.

Food just gettin' cold.

Kids real quiet for a change.

You've gone away, you've gone away.

How will I get through the day? 

This god-forsaken day.

Rain was fallin' hard

As I walked slowly up the stairs.

Pushed my tears back down

As I stood listenin'

To their prayers.

There's your empty pillow.

Your side's flat right to the wall.

Now's the time for private cryin'.

Now it hurts me

Most of all.

You've gone away.

I turn off the light.

How will I get through the night? 

This god-forsaken night.

This long and lonesome, god-forsaken night.

Chastity Sun lyrics - Cher

(originally by Seals & Crofts)

Chastity Sun, you are the one

That can make me smile

When I'm feeling sad

You come close to me

And my heart goes running free

You are the proof God lives

You are his gift to me

Sweet baby girl

You make my world

Bright and shinning new

When I look at you

In your eyes I see

The world that God meant to be

There's no hate or angry

Just love for humanity

We'll have children of the kingdom

They won't be torn by war, torn by hate

Nor will they hesitate to love

Chastity Sun, we are as one

You have come from me

You're the fruit, I'm the tree

I am trying so

But I've got so far to go

I've got so much to teach you

And so much myself to know

Sweet baby one

You bring the sun in a simple way

With the things you say

In my smile or tears

Such innocents in your heart

You make up God's great circle

Cause I am the end and you're the start

We'll have children of the kingdom

They won't be torn by war

Nor will they kill or hate

Or hesitate to love

By Myself lyrics - Cher

I gotta go on my way by myself

Because this is the end of romance

I gotta go my way all by myself

Love it's only it's only a dance

I'm gonna try to apply myself

And teach my poor heart how to sing

I gotta go I want to go my way all by myself

Just like just like a bird on a wing

I'm gonna face the unknown

I'm gonna feel I'm gonna feel the way on my own

Cause nobody knows better than I myself

You see I'm by myself all alone

I gotta go I gotta go on my way by myself

This is the end, the end, the end end of romance

I gotta go I gotta go my way all by myself

Love is only a dance

Cause I gotta go I gotta see, I gotta

Try my own thing by myself

And teach my poor heart how to sing

I gotta go I gotta try my own thing all by myself

Just like a bird I'm out on a wing

I'm gonna face the unknown

I'm wanna feel I gotta feel I wanna feel

A world of my own

Nobody nobody knows better than I myself

You see I'm by myself all alone

I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good lyrics - Cher

My baby treats me sweet and gentle

The way that he should

I got it bad and that ain't good

My poor heart it's sentimental

You know it ain't made out of wood

I got it bad and that ain't good

When the weekend is over

And monday rolls round

I am the way that I started out

You know I'm crying, crying my heart out

He don't love me like I love him

Ah nobody could

I got it bad, bad,

I got it bad, bad, bad, bad, bad

I got it bad, ah bad

And I got it bad and it ain't good

Am I Blue? lyrics - Cher

Am I blue, ah am I blue

Ain't these tears

In these eyes telling you

Am I blue

You'll be too

I said if this plans with your man

Done fell through

Oh there was a time

When I was, when I was he's only one

But look at me and see now

I'm oh I'm the sad,

I'm the sad and lonely one

I'm a fool and I'm the only one

Was I gay, was I gay until today

Oh God he's gone,

He's gone and we're through

Am I blue

There was a time there was a time

I said there was a time

That I was he's only one

But right now, right now

I'm, I'm the sad

Of the sad and lonely one

I'm the left behind only one

Am I blue, ah am I blue

Now he's gone and we're through

Am I, am I blue

Am I blue

How Long Has This Been Going On lyrics - Cher

I could cry such chin tears

Where have I been all these years

A little while come on and tell me now

How long has this been going on?

Ohh, what a kick and how a buzz

My son you click like no, nobody does

Listen sweet, I repeat

How long has this been going on?

Ohh, I feel like I could melt

Right into heaven I've heard

And now I know how Columbus felt

Finding another world

Oh, kiss me once and then again once more

God what a dunce I was before

What a break for heaven sake

How long has this been going on?

Ohh, I feel like I could melt

Straight into heaven I've heard

Oh, and now I know how Columbus felt

Finding another world

Oh, baby kiss me once, kiss me once

And then again once more

What a dunce, oh what a dunce I was before

God what a break for heaven sake

How long has this been going on?

Oh, how long has this been going on?

How long has this been going on?

Oh, how long has this been going on?

Oh, how long has this been going on?

The Man I Love lyrics - Cher

Someday he'll come along

The man I love

And he'll be big so big and strong

The man, the man that I love

And when he comes my way

I'll do my best to make him stay

He's gonna look at me and smile

I'll understand

And in a little while

He's gonna grab, he's gonna grab my hand

And though I know it seems obscure

I know it won't say

We won't say a word

[Chorus:]

Maybe I shall meet him sunday

Maybe monday maybe not

Still I'm gonna meet him one day

Cause maybe tuesday will be

My good news day

He'll build a little home meant just for 2

From which I'll never, never run with you

And so all else above

I'm waiting for the man I love

He's gonna look at me and smile

I'll understand

And in a little while

He's gonna grab, he's gonna grab my hand

And though I know it seems obscure

I know it won't say

We won't say a word

[Chorus]

Jolson Medley lyrics - Cher

Climb upon my knee sonny boy

You are only 3 sonny boy

You have no way of knowing

I have no way of showing

What you mean to me sonny boy

When they are gray skies honey

I don't mind those gray skies

I'll still have you sonny boy

Don't you know that

My friends may forsake me

Let them go on and forsake me

You're gonna pull me straight through

Sonny boy

You're sent from heaven

And I know your worst

You've made a heaven for me

Right here on earth

I'm coming yes I'm coming

I'm sorry that I made you wait

Yes I'm coming, good God I'm coming

I hope and pray it's not too late

Can't you hear my mammy

My little mam, my little mammy

I walk a million miles for one of your smiles

My mam, my my mam my little mammy

Weep no more, weep no more my lady

Sing that song again for me

Sing a song that low just as though

You had me you had me right there on your knee

A million baby kisses I'm gonna deliver

As many that you sing that's what I deliver

Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby

With a dixie melody

Friends may forsake me

Let them forsake me

I'll still have you sonny boy

More Than You Know lyrics - Cher

More than you know, more than you know,

Man of my heart, I love you so;

Lately I find you're on my mind

More than you know.

Whether you're right, whether you're wrong,

Man of my heart I'll string along;

You need me so, more than you'll ever know

Loving you the way that I do,

There's nothing I can do about it;

Loving may be all you can give,

But, honey, I can't live without it

Oh how I'd cry, oh how I'd die,

If you got tired and said goodbye,

More than I'd show,

More than you'll ever know.

Loving you the way that I do,

There's nothing I can do about it;

Loving may be all you can give,

But, honey, I can't live without it

Oh how I cry, oh how I die

If you got tired and said goodbye

More than I chose

More than you'll ever know

Loving you the way that I do,

There's nothing I can do about it;

Loving may be all you can give,

But, honey, I can't live without it

Why Was I Born lyrics - Cher

Why was I born tell me why I am living

What do I give or what am I'm giving

What do I want anything I can not hope for

What can I hope for I wish I knew

Why do I try to draw you near me

Honey tell me why do I cry

Cause you're never gonna hear me

I'm a poor fool

But what can I do, I do

Why was I born to love you

Why do I try to draw you near me

Honey tell me why do I cry

Cause you're never gonna hear me

I'm a poor fool

But what can I do, I do

Why was I born to love you

The Man That Got Away lyrics - Cher

The night is bitter

The stars have lost their glitter

The wind blows colder

And suddenly you're older

And all because of the man that got away

No more is he the cause

The writings on the wall

Oh but dreams, yeah dreams

Have all gone astray

The man that won you

Has gone off and undone you

The great beginning

Has seen it's final ending

Don't know what happened

It's all a crazy game

No more, no more of that ole time thrill

Honey you been through the mill

Never will a new love will be the same

Good riddance ah goodbye

Every, every prickle is you own to

But fools will be fools

And where he goes to

The road gets rougher

It's lonelier and it's tougher

We hope you run up

Tomorrow, tomorrow may come up

There's just no letter

The live long night and day

Ever since this world begun

There ain't nothing sadder

Than a one man woman

Crying for the man that got away
