Thank you for the above list, I found it helpful but a little on the short side. Other songs of hers I was looking for a date (year) for, were: Jealousy, I paid for the lie that I told you, The first quarrel, so many memories, Goodnight to you all, There's a land of begin again, Be careful its my heart.
I have scoured the Internet but can't find actual dates (years)that they were released. Regards, +Darryl Kelly
