While you were gone, 264
Who—do you think you are?, 371
Will your high hopes get you there, 386
Winter rain, now tell me why, 211
Without a warning, you broke my heart, 39

“You Don’t Have to Ask” (Grateful Dead), 15
“You Remind Me” (Hart, Haynes/Hunter), 408–409
You remind me of feather pillows, 408
You say you want to try again, 306
You say you’re living in a world of trouble, 28
You see a broken heart, 12
“You See a Broken Heart” (McKernan), 12
You tell me this town ain’t got no heart, 290
You told me good-bye, 94
Your rain falls like crazy fingers, 242
