Rita Coolidge Lyrics
Come Rain Or Come Shine I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you, Come rain…
Cry Me A River Now you say you love me But you cry the whole…
Don't Smoke In Bed I left a note on his dresser And my old wedding…
Estaté Sei calda come i baci che ho perduto Sei piena di…
I Don't Know Enough About You I know a little bit About a lot of things…
I Thought About You Seems that I read, or somebody said That out of sight…
More Than You Know Whether you are here or yonder, Whether you are false…
Sentimental Journey Gonna take a sentimental journey Gonna set my heart at ease …
We're All Alone Outside the rain begins And it may never end So cry no…
