You’re my dream come true
No one else will ever do
I’m so in love with you
You’re my dream come true
 
You know it drives me wild
Just to see you smile
How can I be blue
You’re my dream come true
 
My sweet baby
You know you drive me crazy
I thank the Lord above
I’m the one that you love

You’re my dream come true
No one else will ever do
I’m so in love with you
You’re my dream come true
 
Solo
 
My sweet baby
You know you drive me crazy
I thank the Lord above
I’m the one that you love
 
You’re my dream come true
No one else will ever do
I’m so in love with you
You’re my dream come true

Intro :
 
Get out of that bed wash your face and hands

Get in that kitchen make some noise with the pots & pans

I’ve got so many women I don’t know which way to jump. (I said)

I’m like a one eyed cat peepin’ in a seafood store
I’m like a one eyed cat peepin’ in a seafood store

You make me roll my eyes baby make me grit my teeth  (I said)

(c) Tommy McClain  Crazy Cajun Music (BMI)    
 
Oh baby doll, I sure love your smile,
I love you baby doll
And sometimes at night when I can’t sleep
I toss and turn and think of baby doll
 
Oh little girl, you and me in this big world like baby dolls
I love you so it seems, you’re always in my sweet sweet dreams
My baby doll
 
Last night I dreamed when we were young
Playin’ baby dolls was so much fun
Now we’re playin’ mom and dad
Keep on doing what you’re doing I found out lady you’ve been
Fooling, round and round and now I’m sad
 
Oh little girl, you and me in this big world like baby dolls
I love you so it seems, you’re always in my sweet sweet dreams
My baby doll
 
Oh baby doll, I sure love your smile,
I love you baby doll
And sometimes at night when I can’t sleep
I toss and turn and think of baby doll
 
Now take me back don’t kick me out
Don’t change your telephone not now
I’ve learned your style baby doll
 
Keep on doin’ what you’re doing can’t take this no more foolin’
I’ve learned your style baby doll
 
Oh baby doll, I sure love your smile,
I love you baby doll
And sometimes at night when I can’t sleep
I toss and turn and think of baby doll
 
Baby doll, little girl, baby doll, baby doll
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Your Picture                                                                                                                                        Sung by Johnnie Allan
(c) FLat Town Music Co.(BMI)
I look up and see your picture
It even seems to smile at me
And it brings back lotta mem'ries
Of a love that used to be

Sometimes I wonder when I hold you
If you can hear me call your name
Then I'll start crying like a baby
I guess I'll never be the same

(Sax Solo)

I'll tell my friends that I don't love you
And I'm glad that I am free
But deep inside my heart I know that
I'm still the fool I used to be

Your picture still stands on the table
And forever it will be
The only thing I'll ever treasure
And love throughout eternity

(c) Dora R. Guillot)   (Flat Town Music BMI)
Baby, you done me wrong
You have left me all alone
But someday
You'll come again,
You'll want me back
You'll be too late

Baby, You know I love you
Something's keeping us apart
But someday you'll come again
You'll want me back
You'll be too late

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I’M A FOOL TO CARE                                                             Sung  by Joe Barry
(c)(Written byTed Daffan)  Flat Town Music(BMI)
 
I’m a fool to care when you treat me this way
I know I love you but what can I do
I’m a fool to care
 
I’m a fool to cry when you tell me good-bye
You left me so blue when you were untrue
I’m a fool to care
 
 
I know I should laugh and call it a day
But I know I would cry if you went away

 
I’m a fool to care when you don’t care for me
So why I pretend, I’ll lose in the end
I’m a fool to care




I know I should laugh and call it a day
I know I would cry if you went away
 
I’m a fool to care when you don’t care for me
So why I pretend, I’ll lose in the end
I’m a fool to care

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This Should Go On Forever                 Sung by Rod Benard >>>> (c) Flat Town Music (BMI)

This should go forever
It should never ever end
If it's wrong to really love you
I'll forever live in sin

This should go forever
Let me stay in your arms
Just to gaze into your eyes dear
And to capture all your charm

If it's sin to really love you
Then a sinner I will be
If it's wrong to hug and and kiss you
Oh my soul will never be free

This should go forever
It should never ever end
If it's wrong to really love you
I'll forever live in sin

If it's sin to really love you
Then a sinner I will be
If it's wrong to hug and and kiss you
Oh my soul will never be free

This should go forever
It should never ever end
If it's wrong to really love you
I'll forever live in sin


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I Can't Sleep If I Can't sleep With You
(Floyd Brown)    (c) Flat Town Music (BMI)


Last night I stayed up late and watched the sunrise
In a ford ain't it a wonderful view
Count the sheep til I cry
Count the times you said goodbye
Honey I can't sleep If I can't sleep with You (break)


There's no need to think you might remember
A love like some forgotten IOU
I've been watchin' you dawn
Every night since you 've been gone
And I can't sleep If I can't sleep with You

(Chorus)
And all all day I'm so lon-lon-lonely
And I'm wondering what I'm gonna do
You don't have to wake me
Don't wake me til it's over
Now I know I can't get over you (break)

Last night I stayed up late and I watched the sunrise
And I'll stay up tommorrow night too
Hear that early bird call
Ain't it hard when you fall
But I can't sleep if I can't sleep with you

And all all day I'm so lon-lon lonely
And I'm wondering what I'm gonna do
And all of my life I've been dreamin'
Just one sweet sweet dream
But how was I to know that dream was you (break)

Last night I stayed up late and I watched that old sunrise
And I guess I'll stay up tommorrow night too
Count the sheep til I cry
Count the times you left and said goodbye
But I can't sleep If I can't sleep with You
Honey I can't sleep If I can't sleep with You,ou,ou,ou,ou,ou,ou,ou

  ELI THE CAJUN MAN
(Lyrics & music by Morgan Blanchard) 
(c) Pelican Paradise Music (BMI) and Bredan-Paushe (BMI)
 Way down south in Louisian' deep in the heart of Cajun land
 Down on the bayou, lived a Cajun man.
 He had a heart as big as Texas, no one could deny
 A friendly Cajun man they called Eli.

 Eli had the strength of a bull but with kindness deep inside
 The old folks say he had that gift since he was a child.
 He'd give you the shirt off his back, if you were in need 
 But if you messed with him you had trouble with capital "T"
                                                                 
         Eli The Cajun Man
         Huntin' and fishin' in swamps of Cajun Land
         From down the bayou, everyone's friend
         Eli The Cajun Man!

 Then on one rainy day, a stranger came by
 Helped himself to a ton of fish thanks to Eli.
 Now, Eli was no fool and was wise to the strangers ways
 So he made up his mind that it was time to pay

 Eli knew the bayous, better than any man
 So he cut through the swamp and in no time at all
 Caught him with the fish in his hands.
 He said, stranger if you're hungry take only what you can eat
 But if you're just a thief, say hello to alligator teeth!!!
                                                                                                      
        Eli The Cajun Man                           
        Huntin' and fishin' in the swamps of Cajun land
        From down the bayou everyone's friend   
        Eli The Cajun Man!

Let’s close our eyes and listen
To our heartbeat tonight
Oh darlin’ my sweet darlin’
It feels so right

Oh the heart never lies
Somehow it’s always right
Hold me close, oh so close
Never, never let me go

There ain’t nothing I’d rather do
There ain't nothin' in this world
That could take me away from you
