When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
there's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
It's lonely out tonight
And the feeling just got right for a brand new love song
Somebody done somebody wrong song
Hey, won't you play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby
So please, play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry
A real hurtin' song about a love tha's gone wrong
'Cause I don't wanna cry all alone
Hey, won't you play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby
So please, play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry
A real hurtin' song about a love tha's gone wrong
'Cause I don't wanna cry all alone
Hey, won't you play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby
Hey, won't you play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby
Hey, won't you play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
You are my heaven
All is forgiven
I'm in love with You
You put me together
My love's forever
I will live for You
I was in pieces
Wrinkled with creases
Until You came
Now I live only
Simply to worship Your name
I've waited so long
But I see I was wrong
In not lovin' You
It took me some years
And some pain and some tears
But you pulled me through
I've waited so long
But I see You belong
Deep down in my heart
And I wonder why
I didn't love You from the start
I was confused then
Lost in a whirlwind
That was spinnin' round
You stopped my spinning
Gave me a beginning
On solid ground
Now there's a purpose
Life's not a circus
Since I've found You, Lord
I'm Yours forever
Take me and never
Let me leave Your word
I've waited so long
But I see I was wrong
In not lovin' You
It took me some years
And some pain and some tears
But you pulled me through
I've waited so long
But I see You belong
Deep down in my heart
And I wonder why
I didn't love You from the start
I've waited so long
But I see I was wrong
In not lovin' You
It took me some years
And some pain and some tears
But you pulled me through
I've waited so long
But I see You belong
Deep down in my heart
And I wonder why
I'll be in New York City
When the lights shine bright tonight
Where my woman waits for me
Arms that hold me tenderly
Lips as sweet as honeycomb
Love that waits for me alone
Deep in the eyes of a New York woman
The eyes of a New York woman
Are eyes that can hold a man
She swept me off of my feet
Made my world seem so complete
I'll never have to look for more
I found what I've been lookin' for
Deep in the eyes of a New York woman
Thought I wasn't ready for the tie that binds
But I lost my heart to her when her eyes met mine
Now I see her differently
I've got to make her mine
So I'll make my home Fun City
And let the lights shine bright on me
East side cafs, West side plays
Uptown, downtown, I'll be there
I'll never have to look for more
I found what I've been lookin' for
Deep in the eyes of a New York woman
The eyes of a New York woman
Are eyes that can hold a man
She swept me off of my feet
Made my world seem so complete
I'll never have to look for more
I found what I've been lookin' for
Deep in the eyes of a New York woman
Deep in the eyes of a New York woman
Deep in the eyes of a New York woman
Deep in the eyes
FADE of a New York woman
Where have the people gone
Seems like there's no one hangin' on
Look through the window
The houses are empty
Hey, everybody's out of town
Seems like I'm the only one around.
All of the streets are bare
No traffic tie-ups anywhere
Don't have to wait for a seat at the movie
Hey, everybody's out of town
Seems like, I'm the only one around.
Everyone's moved out
>From the ghetto
Lots of space
Empty apartments
No more pollution
Plenty of classrooms everyplace
And it looks like we're ready
To give it one more try
This time there'll be no alibi
I'm gonna send out a message to Noah
Hey, better send some people down
Everyone on earth,
There's a gap in the world
Only love can fill
And we can bridge that gap
If we have the will
No it won't be easy
We'll need help from above
But if everybody pitches in
We can build a bridge of love
Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
From nation to nation
Standing through each generation
Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
Hand in Hand
Side by side
That's what it's gonna take
Then one day we'll cross that
Bridge to a better life
And we'll leave behind us
That old world of strife
When we reach our new world
Hate we'll never fear
And I bet if we could see God's face
He'd be smiling from ear to ear
Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
From nation to nation
Standing through each generation
Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
Hand in Hand
Side by side
That's what it's gonna take
Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
From nation to nation
Standing through each generation
Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
Hand in Hand
Side by side
That's what it's gonna take
Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
From nation to nation
Standing through each generation
Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I could have
Maybe I didn’t love you
As often as I should have
Little things I should have said and done
But I never took the time
But you were always on my mind
Yeah
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
If I made you feel second best
Girl I’m so sorry
I was blind
But you were always on my mind
Yeah
You were always on my mind
Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me
Give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied
Satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
But I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
But you were always on my mind
Yeah
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Yeah
If they saw him riding in,
long hair flying in the wind,
Would they love him in Shreveport today?
And if they saw he was a Jew,
and a Palestinian, too,
Hey, would they love him down in Nashville today?
And if they saw him talk with ease,
to the junkies, whores and thieves,
Would they love him in Wichita today?
And would the rich man think it funny,
if he said give up your money,
Hey, would they love him up on Wall Street today?
And if he made the wine from water,
and gave it to their sons and daughters,
What would the folks in Salt Lake City say?
And if he talked of brotherhood,
as he walked their neighborhood,
Would they love him up in Boston today?
And if he said love those who use you
and forgive those who abuse you,
If he turned the other cheek what could we say?
Would you laugh, would you call him crazy,
and just send him on his way,
if Jesus came to your town today?
And if said love those who use you
and forgive those who abuse you,
If he turned the other cheek what could we say?
Would you laugh, would you call him crazy,
and just send him on his way,
if Jesus came to your town today?
I flash back and think about
The time I first found you
You took me in just as I was
And made me feel brand new
And though it wasn't long ago
At times it's hard to believe
It really actually happened
I let you get to me
Without a doubt
I've had my doubts
Without a doubt
I finally found out
I remember oh so clear
When you came here in my heart
In my heart
When I get lonely
I remember that old me
And doubt if I can keep it up
Till I go back and see
The first time that you found me
You must have known love well
Or maybe you were love itself
At the time I couldn't tell
Without a doubt
I've had my doubts
Without a doubt
Now I finally found out
I remember oh so clear
When you came here in my heart
In my heart
Without a doubt
I've had my doubts
Without a doubt
I finally found out
I remember oh so clear
When you came here
Without a doubt
I've had my doubts
Without a doubt
Now I finally found out
I remember oh so clear
As I watch Old Glory
Waving in the wind
I think of what it stands for
And everywhere it's been
Each states shows independence
By having it's own star
Red stands for courage
And blood shed in the war
White is for the innocence
Lost on the battlefield
Blue stands for justice
That will always prevail
These colors won't run
They're tried and true
The promise of freedom
Is in the red, white and blue
They stand for what is right
And if it takes a fight to get it done
These colors won't run
When our freedom is challenged
We won't back down
Even on foreign soil
We stand our ground
We'll defy the largest foe
For what we believe
Defend the smallest friend
In their time of need
And time after time
We've answered the call
And through every battle
Our flag weathered it all
These colors won't run
They're tried and true
The promise of freedom
Is in the red, white and blue
They stand for what is right
And if it takes a fight to get it done
These colors won't run
The flag is more than just our colors
It's a ways of life, It's a way of life ..
These colors won't run
They're tried and true
The promise of freedom
Is in the red, white and blue
They stand for what is right
And if it takes a fight to get it done
Lost and feeling lonely
Had become ordinary
I was always glad to see a day go by
The darkness just got deeper
The mountains just got steeper
But when I heard the Word it changed my life
The Word is love
The Word is love
It gently touched my heart and changed my life
The Word is love
The Word is love
And I could never thank You enough
Loved and feeling worth it
'Cause You say I deserve it
I want to share this happiness I've found
You're the song I'm singing
You give my life meaning
That's why I want to spread the Word around
The Word is love
The Word is love
It gently touched my heart and changed my life
The Word is love
The Word is love
And I could never thank You enough
The Word is love
The Word is love
It gently touched my heart and changed my life
The Word is love
The Word is love
On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross,
The emblem of suff'ring and shame,
And I love that old Cross where the dearest and best,
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down,
I will cling to the old rugged Cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
To the old rugged Cross, I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear,
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where his glory forever I'll share.
So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down,
I will cling to the old rugged Cross,
Thank you my Lord
For a beautiful day
Thank you my Lord
I'm so happy to say
Thank you my Lord
For the flowers that grow
There would be nothing I know
Without You
Thank you my Lord
For the sun in the sky
Thank you my Lord
I'm so grateful that I
Thank you my Lord
For the rivers that flow
There would be nothing I know
Without You
For all the music
And the songs that we sing
For all the laughter
And the joy that You bring
Thank you my Lord
I have nothing to fear
As long as I have You here
Beside me
Thank you my Lord
For the birds in the trees
Thank you my Lord
I am down on my knees
Thank you my Lord
For the rain and the snow
There would nothing I know
Without You
For all the mountains
That You give us to climb
For all the valleys
Yeah I say one more time
Thank you my Lord
I have nothing to fear
As long as I have You here
Beside me
As long as I have You here
Verse 1
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
Chorus
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Verse 2
So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying
Chorus
Bridge
Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's not let a good thing die
When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Ooh yeah, yeah
Verse 3
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say
Chorus
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
(Golde)
I don't remember growing older
When did they?
(Tevye)
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he get to be so tall?
(Golde)
Wasn't it yesterday
When they were small?

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
(Women)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
(Tevye)
What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
(Tevye)
Now they must learn from one another
Day by day
(Perchik)
They look so natural together
(Hodel)
Just like two newlyweds should be
(Perchik & Hodel)
Is there a canopy in store for me?
(All)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze

Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
I've had peace and I've had joy
Every since I found you
And everyday is full of hope
Now that I'm around you
You bring to me storybook reality
Storybook realities are what you to me
You took my rusty dreams and made them new
Storybook realities are what I live each day
'Cause everyday you've made my dreams come true
Only you
Only you
Only you
You're a way of life to me
I need you everyday
You know all my problems
Before I even pray
You bring to me storybook reality
Storybook realities are what you to me
You took my rusty dreams and made them new
Storybook realities are what I live each day
'Cause everyday you've made my dreams come true
Only you
Only you
Only you
Only you
Only you
Starving sinner
Sleeping saint
One I am
And one I ain't
I wish I knew
What I'm going through
I don't know which one is worse
One's a sin and one's a curse
Can't rationalize
My family ties
Maybe there's a world of starving people
That can't be fed by pointed steeples
But need love
And a little help from above
Maybe there's a world of cruising Christians
Too busy preaching their own religion
To stop, look, listen to the Lord
Starving sinner
Sleeping saint
Wish I could
But know I can't
Give half the life
You gave to me
Hunger for the Word is great
But sleeping on it is second rate
I want to be
Yours for eternity
Maybe there's a world of starving people
That can't be fed by pointed steeples
But need love
And a little help from above
Maybe there's a world of cruising Christians
Too busy preaching their own religion
to stop, look, listen to the Lord
Maybe there's a world of starving people
That can't be fed by pointed steeples
But need love
And a little help from above
Maybe there's a world of cruising Christians
Too busy preaching their own religion
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Light the fire
Hold it higher
There's a world that wants so much to see
And in the night
You're alive
Go on and be what you were meant to be
Go ahead and shine on
In the night
You gotta shine on
Be a light
You need to shine on
How the world could use some light
Go ahead and shine on
In the night
You gotta shine on
Be a light
You need to shine on
Let there be a little light
I know it's hard
When it's so dark
To think the world will ever notice you
But it's not dark
In your heart
Go on and see just what one light can do
Go ahead and shine on in the night
You've gotta shine on
Be a light
You need to shine on
How the world could use some light
Go ahead and shine on
In the night
You gotta shine on
Be a light
You gotta shine on
Let there be a little light
Go ahead and shine on
In the night
You gotta shine on
Be a light
You need to shine on
How the world could use some light
Go ahead and shine on
In the night
You gotta shine on
Be a light
You gotta shine on
She was just sixteen and all alone
When I came to be
So we grew up together
My mama child and me
Now things were bad and she was scared
But whenever I would cry
She'd calm my fears and dry my tears
With a rock and roll lullaby
And she would sing sha na na na na na na na ...
It will be all right sha na na na na na....
Sha na na na na na na na ...
Now just hold on tight
Sing it to me mama (mama mama ma)
Sing it sweet and clear, oh!
Mama let me hear that old rock and roll lullaby
We made it through the lonely days
But Lord the nights were long
And wed dream of better moments
When mama sang her song
Now I can't recall the words at all
It don't make sense to try
'Cause I just knew lots of love came thru
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
------ trumpet ------
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
COME ALL TO THE JUNIOR/SENIOR PROM
BIGGEST OCCASION
OF THE YEAR
AND NOW THE TIME WAS HERE
ALL THE GIRLS WERE GOING
THEY ALL HAD A DATE
BUT WHAT ABOUT JANE
WHAT ABOUT PLAIN JANE
SHE WASN'T PRETTY
KIDS MADE FUN OF HER
BUT SHE WAS GENTLE AS A KITTENS PURR
STILL SHE HAD TO FEEL THE PAIN
WHEN THEY CALLED HER NAME
PLAIN JANE POOR PLAIN JANE
OH HOW SHE WANTED TO GO TO THE PROM
BUT NO ONE WOULD ASK PLAIN JANE
POOR LITTLE GIRL LIVING IN A COLD COLD WORLD
AND LONELY SHE WAS LONELY AS COULD BE
BUT THEN THE PHONE RANG
SOMEONE ASKED FOR JANE
TEARS BEGAN TO FLOW LIKE RAIN
BUT THEY WERE TEAR OF JOY THE CALL WAS FROM A BOY
ASKING JANE TO THE PROM PLAIN JANE WAS GOING TO THE PROM
SHE WAS ALL EXCITED COULDN'T WAIT
GOING ON HER VERY FIRST DATE
SPENT THE WHOLE DAY GETTING DRESSED
HAD TO LOOK HER VERY BEST
BUT NOW ITS HALF PAST EIGHT
GUESS HER DATES GONNA BE LATE
MEANWHILE AT THE PROM
EVERYONE WAS LAUGHING BOUT THE TRICK THEY'D PLAYED
AND THE BOY WHO MADE THE CALL
HE WAS LAUGHING LOUDEST OF ALL
BUT THERE JOY TURNED TO TEARS INSTEAD
WHEN THE MORNING PAPER SAID A GIRL WAS DEAD
TO MUCH PAIN FOR A GIRL WITH A NAME PLAIN JANE
JUST TO MUCH PAIN FOR A GIRL WITH A NAME PLAIN JANE
Your lips are beggin' for more girl
And it's tearing me all up inside
Because I like what you're doing
And it's something I've never tried
I know we both oughta stop here
You're tempting me to come on strong
And when I look in your eyes girl
There's no way to tell right from wrong
So pass the apple and give me a bite
My resistance is low and I just can't fight it
I don't think I can ask you to leave
So pass the apple Eve
You make me reach out for more girl
I'm really coming alive
But you better think what you're doing
Before you get us both satisfied
So pass the apple and give me a bite
My resistance is low and I just can't fight it
Now I know I can't ask you to leave
So pass the apple Eve
Come on girl
You're coming on too strong
I can't leave you alone
Come on girl
Give it to me
Give me a bite
Wonder why I've got so many
Christmas presents
When some don't have any
Someone must have me in his sight
On this Christmas night
All the family
Will be gathered
I can't think of one place
I'd rather be in this world
On this Christmas night
When I think of all the lonely
People everywhere
My wish this Christmas night is for them
Christmas is to share with them
I'm sure someone must have said it
Take this Christmas love and spread it
All through the year
May our hearts be light
Like on this Christmas night
On this Christmas night
On this Christmas night
Read in the paper nearly day
People breakin' up and just walkin' away from love and that's wrong
That's so wrong
A happy little home comes up for sale
Because two fools have tried and failed to get along
And ya know that's wrong
A man hurts a woman and a woman hurts a man
When neither one of them will love and understa-a-a-a-and
And take it with a grain of salt
Oh, now believe that
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even the bad love is better than no love
And even the sad love is better than no love at a-l-l
Got to believe that
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even the bad love is better than no love
And any kind of love is better than no love at all
Nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
No love at all is a poor old man
Standin' on the corner with his hat in his hand
And no place to go, he's feelin' low
No love at all is a child in the street
Dodgin' traffic and beggin' to eat on a tenement row
And that's a long row to hoe
No love at all is a troubled young girl
Standin' on a bridge at the end of the wor-or-or-or-ld
And it's a pretty short fall
Now people believe me
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even the bad love is better than no love
And even the sad love is better than no love at a-l-l
Got to believe that
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even the bad love is better than no love
And any kind of love is better than no love at all
Nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Oh you got to believe me
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even the bad love is better than no love
And even the sad is better than no love at a-l-l
Got to believe me
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even the bad love is better than no love
And any kind of love is better than no love at all
Got to believe me
FADE
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even the bad love is better than no love
Early this morning,

and caught you watching me sleep.
I'm getting new looks from an old lover again.
I love you and want you,
forever and always,
was written all over your face.

It's such a good feeling knowing I that I can still win what I've already won.
It's great to know we can still be lovers and friends.
It's such a good feeling knowing it's better than I ever thought it could be.
Because of new looks from an old lover again.
I feel your fingers touching my body and mind as they brush through my hair.
I'm getting news looks from an old lover again.
Deep in your eyes I see the hunger that only true love can feed.
I'm getting new looks from and old lover again.

Who's the one who tied your shoe when you were young
And knew just when to come and see what you had done?
Mama, oh Mama
And who's the one who patched your eye and told you not to cry
'cause he was too big for you to try?
Mama, Ma-a-ma
And who's the one you didn't need to plead
To give her time to the Little League?
It was Mama, oh, ma-a-a-ma-a-a
And who's the one who gave her shoulder
When you told her your first love was over she'd met someone older
Mama, Mama
It was Mama, my ma-a-a-ma-a-a
Ma-a-ma, oh ma-a-ma
Who's the one who taught you obligation then dedication result graduation?
Mama, Mama
And who's the one who's shown the friends you've known
A home away from home when they were tired and all alone?
Mama, Mama
And who's the one who held a tear inside
When you introduced your future bride?
And who's the one who didn't mean to cry
As you walked down the aisle, the tears you saw her smile
Mama, oh, Mama
Ma-a-m-a-a, my Ma-a-ma-a
Maybe I'll be the things I dream
And not the things I seem
Maybe I'll get to change the world
Before it changes me
And maybe my life
Will always be
Just as happy as it seems
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
In my dreams
Maybe I'll learn to face the truth
And like the truth I face
Maybe I'll get to find myself
Before I'm lost in space
And maybe a love
Will always be
Just as faithful as it seems
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
In my dreams
And maybe a love
Will always be
Just as faithful as it seems
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
I just can't help believing
When she smiles up soft and gentle,
With a trace of misty morning,
And a promise of tomorrow in her eyes...
And I just can't help believing
When she's lying close beside me
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sigh...
This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay...
For more than just a day
I just can't help believing
When she slips her hand in my hand
And it feels so small and helpless
That my fingers fold around it like a glove...
And I just can't help believing
When she's whispering her magic
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love...
This time the girl is gonna stay (This time the girl is gonna stay)
This time the girl is gonna stay...
For more than just a day
For more than just a day...
Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
A picture from the past came slowly stealin'
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
The-en suddenly I got that old-time feelin'
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you (still in love with you)
(Today I passed you on the street)
SPOKEN: Today I passed you on the street
(And my heart fell at your feet)
SPOKEN: And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
(Somebody else stood by your side)
SPOKEN: Somebody else stood by your side
(And he looked so satisfied)
SPOKEN: And, ya know, he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Oh, it hurts to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold ya just the way I used to do
Oh-oh-oh-oh heaven only knows how much I miss, how much that I miss ya
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
I could just sit around makin' music all day long (yeah)
As long as I'm makin' my music
I know I can't do nobody no wrong
And who knows? Maybe I'll come up with a song (yeah)
And make people wanna stop their fussin' and fightin'
Long enough to sing a song
I-i-i, I believe in music
Whoa-oh-oh- I, I believe in love
Everybody knows
I-i-i, I believe in music
Whoa-oh-oh-oh I, yes I believe in love
Music is love and love is music if you know what I mean (yeah)
And people who believe in music
Are the happiest people I've ever seen
So clap your hands and stomp your feet
And shake your tambourine (yeah)
Lift your voices to the sky
God loves you when you sing
I-i-i, I believe in music
Whoah-oh-oh I, yes I believe in love
Everybody knows
Music is the universal language and love is the key
To brotherhood, peace and understandin'
Livin' in harmony
So take your brother by the hand
And sing along with me
And find out what it really means
To feel young, rich and free
Everybody now
I-i-i, I believe in music
Whoah-oh-oh-oh I, yes I believe in love
Everybody knows
I-i-i-i-i-i, I believe in music
I can't stop this feelin', deep inside of me
Girl, you just don't realize, what you do to me
When ya hold me in your arms, so tight
You let me know, everything's all right
I, I'm hooked on a feelin'
High on believin', that you're in love with me
Lips are sweet as candy, the taste stays on my mind
Girl, you keep me thirsty for another cup of wine
I got it bad for you girl, but I don't need a cure
I'll just stay addicted and hope I can endure
All the good love, when we're all alone
Keep it up, girl, yeah ya turn me on
I, I'm hooked on a feelin'
High on believin', that you're in love with me
All the good love, when we're all alone
Keep it up, girl, yeah ya turn me on
I, I'm hooked on a feelin'
They say that heavens pretty,
and living here is too.
But if they said that I would have to choose between the two.
I'd go home,
going home,
where I belong.
And sometimes when I'm dreaming,
it comes as no surprise.
That if you look and see the homesick feeling in my eyes.
I'm going home,
going home,
where I belong.
While I'm here I'll serve him gladly,
and sing him all my songs.
I'm here,
but not for long.
And when I'm feeling lonely,
and when I'm feeling blue.
It's such a joy to know that I am only passing through.
I'm headed home,
going home,
where I belong.
And one day I'll be sleeping,
when death knocks on my door.
And I'll awake and find that I'm not homesick anymore.
I'll be home,
going home,
where I belong.
If you ever leave me
Don't worry at all
If you ever leave me
Just smile when I fall
The world will still be turning
Without you life goes on
And spring will be returning
Each year though your gone
If you ever leave me
I won't show the tear
If you ever leave me
I'll hide all my fears
And even though I try
And still pretend that I
Don't need your warmth
Don't need your touch
Don't want your love
So very much
I know, If you ever leave me
I need your warmth
I need your touch
I want your love
So very much
If you ever leave me
Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill?
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
And I'm so lonesome I could cry
Did you ever see a night so long
When time goes crawlin' by?
The moon just went behind a cloud
And I'm so lonesome I could cry
Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
That means he's lost the will to live
And I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a fallin' star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Yeah I-I could cry-eye-eye
I could cry-eye, eye-eye-eye, I-I could cry-eye
I could cry-eye, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'd rather my doorbell didn't ring
Unless it's touched by your hand
Let my phone remain a silent thing
Cause no one I talk to understands
That since you've gone away from me
I-I-I-I don't care for memories
If I can't have your love
I 'd rather be lonely
I can't bare to walk down the street
That I used to walk with you
'Cause all the old friends that I meet
Tell me that true love will come through
I just can't seem to make them see
I-I-I-I don't want their sympathy
If I can't have your love
I'd rather be lonely
If I can't caress you tenderly
Please don't let the sunshine on me
If I can't have you're love
If I can't have you're love
If I can't have you're love
Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind
But now I see
T'was grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
Tis' grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
When we've been there 10,000 years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved
Yes that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind
But now I see
What kind of man
Would wash men's feet
Get pushed around
Then turn the other cheek
I want to be more like Him
Everyday
In every way
So little time
He took for Himself
He was more concerned
For everybody else
I want to be more like Him
Everyday
In every way
I want to be more like Jesus
That's why I've put my life in His hands
I want to be more like Jesus
And with His help I know that I can
As tears of pain
Fell from His eyes
He prayed for those
Who had him crucified
I want to be more like Him
Everyday in every way
I want to be more like Jesus
That's why I've put my life in His hands
I want to be more like Jesus
And with His help I know that I can
Ohhhhh,
I want to be more like Jesus
That's why I've put my life in His hands
Ohhh ohhhh
You were there to catch me
When I fell in love
Fell in love
You were there to catch me
When I fell in love
Fell in love
The paper moon I was reaching for
Was never really there
And you were there to catch me
When I fell in love
When I fell into your love
When you came my sadness
Walked out the door
Out the door
Your love gave me something
Worth living for
Living for
My life was broken and shattered
But you made the pieces fall right in place
And you were there to catch me
When I fell in love
When I fell into your love
Ev´rytime I slipped and fell
Your arms were open wide
You never turned your back on me
And never said goodbye
And you were there to catch me
When I fell in love
Fell in love
But now you´re right beside me
When I need your love
Need your love
Life a leaf I was surely falling
And you were the ground
You were there to catch me
When I fell in love
When I fell into your love
You were there to catch me
When I fell in love
When I fell into your love
You were there to catch me
When I fell in love
When I fell into your love
You were there to catch me
When I fell in love
When I fell into your love
You were there to catch me
When I fell in love
When I fell into your love
You were there to catch me
When I fell in love
You gave me time when no one gave me time of day,
You looked deep inside while the rest of the world looked away,
You smiled at me when there were just frowns everywhere,
You gave me love when nobody gave me a prayer.
Chorus:
That's why I call You Saviour ..... that's why I call You Friend,
You touched my heart ..... You touched my soul,
And helped me start all over again,
That's why I love You, Jesus ..... that's why I'll always care,
You gave me love when nobody gave me a prayer.
You gave me laughter after I cried all my tears,
You heard my dreams while the rest of the world closed it's ears,
I looked in Your eyes, and I found the tenderness there,
You gave me love when nobody gave me a prayer.
Chorus:
That's why I call You Saviour ..... that's why I call You Friend,
You touched my heart ..... You touched my soul,
And helped me start all over again.
That's why I love You, Jesus ..... that's why I'll always care,
Whatever Happened To Old Fashioned Love?
BJ Thomas
Written by L. Anderson
We live in the modern age
Where love is fast like a turning page
In a magazine, we've hardly seen
The friends we used to know
They disappear, they come and go
Like the times we've had
It's kind of sad
Whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would see you through
The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew
Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would last through the years
Through the trials
Through the smiles
Through the tears
Today is all we've planned
We say tomorrow we'll understand
If it all should end
We'd be alone again
Ohh, whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would see you through
The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew
Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would last through the years
Through the trials
Through the smiles
Through the tears
For now the tenderness
Has been replaced
With something less
And it's hard to find
What we left behind
Ohh, whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would see you through
The kind of love my Momma and Daddy knew
Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love
The kind that would last through the years
Through the trials
Through the smiles
Through the tears.
What - a - difference you've made in my life
What a difference you've made in my life
You're my sunshine day-ay and ni-ight
Oh what a difference you've ma-a-ade in my li-iiife
What a change you have made in my heart
What a change you have made in my heart
You replaced all the bro-oken par-ar-arts
Oh what a change you have ma-a-ade in my hear-eart
Love to me was just a word in a song
That had been way over-used
But now I've joined in the singin'
'Cause you've shown me love's true meanin'
That's why I want to sprea-ead the new-ews
What a difference you've made in my life
What a difference you've made in my life

Oh what a difference you've ma-a-ade, yeah-eah
What a difference you've made in my li-ife
Difference you've made in my li-ife

You're my sunshine day-ay and ni-ight
Oh what a difference you've ma-a-ade
Go ahead and sing it

What a difference you've made in my life, yeah-heah-eah-eah-heah
You're my sunshine day-ay and ni-ight

I used to be Mr. Free, Tall, Dark and Cool
I did a solo act
Made up my own rules
Then you came along
And Changed my point of view
Oh baby what am I going to do?
Just look at me
Looking at you
I can't believe the things
I'm looking foward to
Would you believe I'm thinking about
A two car garage
And a two story house
And a couple of kids
We can brag about
Give me a two-toned Cheverolet
And too many bills to pay
And your two arms
Too make me happy living that way
I used to play such a game
Of hide and seek
I'd go looking for love
And hide if it saw me
You could find with my friends
Hanging out on the street
Now they're wondering where i could be
Well it's Saturday night
And it's just you and me
Snuggled up on the couch
Just watching TV
Would you believe I'm thinking about
A two car garage
And a two story house
And a couple of kids
We can brag about
Give me a two-toned Cheverolet
And too many bills to pay
And your two arms
Too make me happy living that way
If we don't get to Paris
It won't break our hearts
We'll just pack up the kids
And go to Yellowstone Park
I want a two car garage
And a two story house
And a couple of kids
We can brag about
Give me a two-toned Cheverolet
And too many bills to pay
And your two arms
Too make me happy living that way
All I want is you baby
And your sweet love
All I want is you baby
And a two car garage
All I want is you baby
Oh, you tell me that you love me
Yes, you tell me that you care
That tomorrow we'll be married
But tomorrow's never there.
CHORUS
Oh, Tomorrow Never Comes
No, Tomorrow Never Comes
Now you tell me that you love me
But Tomorrow Never Comes.
Instrumentals
Many weeks now have I waited
Many long nights have I cried
Just to see that happy morning
When I'd have you by my side.
CHORUS
Oh, Tomorrow Never Comes
No, Tomorrow Never Comes
Now you tell me that you love me
But Tomorrow Never Comes.
Instrumentals
So tomorrow I'll be leaving
Yes, tomorrow I'll be gone
And tomorrow you'll be weeping
But Tomorrow Never Comes.
CHORUS
Oh, Tomorrow Never Comes
No, Tomorrow Never Comes
Now you tell me that you love me
You see this guy
This guys in love with you
Yes I'm in love
Who looks at you the way I do
When you smile
I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show you
I'm glad I got to know you
'Cause I've heard some talk
They say you think I'm fine
Yes I'm in love
And what I'd do to make you mine
Tell me now
Is it so
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking
'Cause I need your love
And I want your love
Say you're in love
In love with this guy
If not I'll just die
Tell me now
Is it so
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking
'Cause I need your love
And I want your love
Say you're in love
In love with this guy
I don't know
How long I'll be here
'Cause Jesus
Said He'd come again
And where He leads
I will go with Him
When I hear Him call my name
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
I cannot be sure of
When it will take place
But it does not matter
If I'm walking in His grace
I feel it won't be long now
Until He comes for me
He's gonna take me with Him
And at His feet I'll bow
I wanna be ready
Ohh I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
Ohh I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
Ohh I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
Ohh I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
Ohh I wanna be ready
And I wake up in the morning with my hair down in my eyes and she says hi
And I stumble to the breakfast table while the kids are going off to school, Goodbye.
And she reaches out and takes my hand and squeezes it and says how you feeling hon?
And I look across at smiling lips that warm my heart, and see my morning sun.
And if that's not loving me, then all I've got to say,
God didn't make the little green apples, and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time.
And there's no such thing as Dr. Seuss or Disney Land and Mother Goose, no nursery rhymes.
God didn't make the little green apples, and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time.
And when myself is feeling low, I think about her face and go and ease my mind.
Sometimes I call her up, at home, knowing she's busy.
And ask her if she can get away, meet me and maybe we can grab a bite to eat.
And she drops what she's doing and she hurries down to meet me, and I'm always late.
But she sits waiting patiently, and smiles when she first sees me, because she's made that way.
And if that ain't loving me, then all I've got to say,
God didn't make the little green apples, and it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes.
And there's no such thing as make-believe, puppy dogs or autumn leaves, no bb guns.
You know that it would be untrue.
You know that I would be a liar.
If I was to say to you,
Girl, we couldn't get much higher.
Come on, baby, light my fire.
Come on, baby, light my fire.
Try to set the night on fire.
The time to hesitate is through.
No time to wallow in the mire.
Try now we can only lose.
And our love become a funeral pyre.
Come on, baby, light my fire.
Come on, baby, light my fire.
Try to set the night on fire, yeah.
[Long instrumental break.]
The time to hesitate is through.
No time to wallow in the mire.
Try now we can only lose.
And our love become a funeral pyre.
Come on, baby, light my fire.
Come on, baby, light my fire.
Try to set the night on fire, yeah.
You know that it would be untrue.
You know that I would be a liar.
If I was to say to you.
Girl, we couldn't get much higher.
Come on, baby, light my fire.
Come on, baby, light my fire.
Try to set the night on fire.
Try to set the night on fire.
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was she'd for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, of that free love,
The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
Here for a season, then above,
I am weak
But Thou art strong
Jesus keep me from all wrong
I’ll be satisfied as long
As I walk
Let me walk close to Thee.
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it Jesus it's my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
Oh 'cause when my feeble life is o’er
Time for me will be no more
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom
To Thy kingdom shore.
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it Jesus, it's my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
Ohhh daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord
Jesus On My Mind
I see dark clouds coming my way
I know they're gonna try to rain on me
They're almost here but I must say
I'm just as happy as can be
Ohhhh
Just because I've got Jesus on my mind
Just because I've got Jesus on my mind
The situation might look so awful grim
But that's when I just stop and get my mind on Him
Before you know it
Everything's just fine
Just because I've got Jesus on my mind
I see a giant right in my path
I know he's gonna try to do me in
He's mighty big
But I must say
I'm not the least bit afraid of him
Ohhhh
Just because I've got Jesus on my mind
Just because I've got Jesus on my mind
The situation might look so awful grim
But that's when I just stop and get my mind on Him
Before you know it
Everything's just fine
Just because I've got Jesus on my mind
Ohhhh
Don't you know I've got Jesus on my mind
Don't you know I've got Jesus on my mind
Well ..
Don't you know I've got Jesus on my mind
On my mind
Don't you know I've got Jesus on my mind
Well ..
Don't you know I've got Jesus on my mind
On my mind
I SEE THE SUNLIGHT IN HER HAIR,
I FEEL THE WARM SMILE THAT SHE WEAR'S,
SHE HAS NO RECIPE FOR LOVE...AND I JUST
CAN'T GET ENOUGH,
FROM THE DISTANCES OF MY MIND,
THE CLOCK THAT'S RINGIN SAY'S IT'S TIME,
TO WAKE UP TO MY DESTINY...IT'S TIME TO FACE REALITY.
IT'S ONLY LOVE....THAT I FEEL INSIDE
BUT I'LL GET BY SOMEHOW
IT'S ONLY LOVE..I NEVER WOKE UP FROM MY DREAM GIRL....
I KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE FOR ME GIRL
I TELL MYSELF THAT IT'S NOT REAL
I GUESS THERE'S NOTHING LEFT FOR ME TO FEEL,
I'LL JUST BE GOING ON MY WAY....
TILL ANOTHER BRINGS ANOTHER DAY.
IT'S ONLY LOVE...THAT I FEEL INSIDE,
BUT I GOT TO BE STRONG...KEEP MY MIND HANGIN ON...
IT'S ONLY LOVE BUT I KNOW I'LL GET BY..
I'LL TAKE MY HEART AND MY PRIDE AND JUST THROW THEM A SIDE...
In the misty moonlight
By the flickering firelight
Any place is alright
As long as I'm with you
In a far away land
By the shifting sea sand
With your hand in my hand
I won't be blue
Way up on the mountains
Or way down in the valley
I know I'll be happy
Any place anywhere
I don't care
In the misty moonlight
By the flickering firelight
Any place is alright
As long as you are there
Even in a far away land
By the shifting sea sand
With your hands in my hand
As long as you are there
Hey Hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I'll be alright
If you'll be there
Say hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Will you be there
Tell me will you be there
Say yeah
Met the girl that I want to get to know a little better
Tonight I'm gonna take her to the picture show
Gonna park in the darkest spot I know
I got a question
That I never asked anybody else before
Hey would you help me make it to my rockin' chair
Love me all of my life
Don't wanna grow old without ya
Don't wanna be out in the cold without ya
No more
Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Been saving my good times for the good
Would you hold me and never ever let me go
I've been told about love for so long
Been left cold without love for so long
Told of disappointments all so wrong
And I can't see me
In tomorrow
Without you beside me
Help me make it to my rockin'chair
Love me all of my life
Don't wanna grow old without ya
Don't wanna be out in the cold without ya
No more
Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Been saving my good times for the good
Would you hold me and never ever let me go
Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Been saving my good times for the good
Would you hold me and never ever let me go
Hey would you help me make it to my rockin'chair
Love me all of my life
Don't wanna grow old without ya
Don't wanna be out in the cold without ya
No more
Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Been saving my good times for the good
Would you hold me and never ever let me go
Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Been saving my good times for the good
He's the hand on my shoulder
When I need to know someone cares
He's the hand on my shoulder
Assuring me that He's always there
He's the voice in the silence
That sounds so sweet and so clear
He's the voice in the silence
Telling me that He's always near
So there's no need for me to worry
When things aren't going quite so smooth
'Cause just as long as I put my trust in Him
He will always see me through
He's the light in the darkness
Shining through bright as day
He's the light in the darkness
Guiding me each step of the way
He's the hand on my shoulder
When I need to know someone cares
He's the hand on my shoulder
He's got it all in control
He's got it all in control
He's put that reassurance
Way down in my soul
He's got it all in control
I've put my life in His hands
I've put my life in His hands
So every road I walk down
I'm sure is in His plan
'Cause I've put my life in His hands
He holds the stars in the sky
He holds the land back from the sea
If He can do all of that
Surely he can take care
Of you and me
He's got it all in control
He's got it all in control
He's put that reassurance
Way down in my soul
He's got it all in control
He's got it all in control
God's got it all in control
He's put that reassurance
Way down in my soul
He's got it all in control
He's got it all in control
God's got it all in control
He's got it all in control
God's got it all in control
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's just my brother
So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear
Ahh, were gonna get there
For I know
He won't encumber me at all
He ain't heavy, he's just my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everybody's heart
Isn't filled with gladness
Of love, Love for one another
Oh, It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on our way to there
Why don't we share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
When I die there won't be much to salvage from my earnings
I never had a lot of land or houses to my name
I've never been a corporate prince on Madison and New York
I never held a diamond in my hand
But I've seen children laughing
As only children can
And I've known my creator
And I've been a happy man
I never really loved the way I saw it in the movies
But I had myself a woman of my own
The place we lived was modest
And we kept the yard together
I never traveled far from my hometown
But I've heard music playing
That made me understand
And touched the hearts of heaven
And I've been a happy man
Life has had it's hard times
When I've felt the chill of winter
I can't forget the night when my sweet Julie slipped away
But growing old is different
Than I always thought it would be
The sweetness of my youth
Just grew with age
'Cause I've known wealth and beauty
Beneath his guiding hand
And knowing soon I'll see him
Has made me a happy man
And knowing soon I'll see him
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom bom
I'm happier than the morning sun
And that's the way you said that it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
I'm happier than the morning sun
And that's the way you said that it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
All my life I was alone,
Didn't think I'd find my part,
Now I see there's joy inside your arms.
Every day I searched for the star,
That never was in the sky,
And now I see this star is on earth.
And I'm happier than the morning sun
And that's the way you said that I would be -that's
what you told me yea
If I gave you a chance to come inside my life.
(I am) And I am happier than the morning sun
And that's the way it will always be -that's the way

Ever since the day you came inside of my life.

If I should ever bring you inside of my life.
I believe that everyone should be
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Hal-le-lu-jah!
We are open please come in
Fill us up with love again
We want to praise you
In every way we can
Hal-le-lu-jah!
You have made us what we are
By your blood and by your scars
We want to praise you
In every way we can
Words are so empty and time is so short
To show you how much we love you
Abba, Father!
On the cross you took our place
Thought we don't deserve your grace
We want to thank you
In every way we can
You created everything
Help us worship when we sing
We want to praise you
In every way we can
Abba, Father!
On the cross you took our place
Thought we don't deserve your grace
We want to thank you
In every way we can
Abba, Father!
On the cross you took our place
Down isn't so bad
When it gets you looking up at life
To see where you've been now
And don't wanna be there again
You already knew
That you were gettin' through to me
It must have been so tough
To get me lookin' up
Well down is where you found me
But up is where I'm goin'
Now that you're around me
I can't keep it from showin'
Grinnin' on my face and singin' ev'ry place I go
Well down is where you found me
But up is where I'm goin'
Finally understand all the things I been knowin'
Take me in your arms and carry me all the way home
Carry me home
Well there are times we all fall in
Much too deep where we can't swim
But there's a life saver
To keep us from cashin' it in
Well down is where you found me
But up is where I'm goin'
Now that you're around me
I can't keep it from showin'
Grinnin' on my face and singin' ev'ry place I go
Well down is where you found me
But up is where I'm goin'
Finally understand all the things I been knowin'
Take me in your arms and carry me all the way home
Home
Home
Well down is where you found me
But up is where I'm goin'
Now that you're around me
I can't keep it from showin'
Grinnin' on my face and singin' ev'ry place I go
Well down is where you found me
But up is where I'm goin'
Finally understand all the things I been knowin'
Well it's been building up inside of me
For oh I don't know how long
I don't know why but I keep thinkin'
Something's bound to go wrong
But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize when she says.
Don't worry baby
Ev'rything will work out all right
Don't worry baby oo.
I guess I should-a kept my mouth shut
When I start to brag about my car
But I can't back down now because I
Pushed the other guys too far
She makes me come alive
And makes me wanna drive when she says.
Don't worry baby
Ev'rything will work out all right
Don't worry baby oo.
She said now baby when you race today
Just take along my love for you
And if you knew how much I loved you baby
Nothing could go wrong with you
Oh what she does to me
When she makes love to me and she says.
Don't worry baby
Love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground
I've lived down in a valley
You live on that mountain above
And although we live in different places
The common ground we share is love
Ohhh
Love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground
If we met as total strangers
And if we came from different lands
And if we didn't speak the same language
Love's one thing we both would understand
Because love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground
Ohh ohh
Love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground
Ohhh ohhh
Love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near
Just like me they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by
Just like me they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
And golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
And golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me they long to be
Close to you
Just like me they long to be
Close to you
Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you
You look at me
And baby all you see
Are my blue eyes
I´m not a man
Baby all that I am
Is what I symbolize
Brown eyed woman
Ohh brown eyed woman
Brown eyed woman
Oh I could love you so
Love you so
Brown eyed woman
I could love you so
All of the years
All the hate and the tears
Have twisted your mind
And you turn away
You won´t trust what I say
And it´s tearing me apart
Brown eyed woman
Ohh brown eyed woman
Brown eyed woman
Oh I could love you so
Love you so
Brown eyed woman
I could love you so
I´m holding out my hand to you
Ohh darlin´ tell me
Tell me please what else can I do
Bring back the time
When you were mine
Children were laughing then
I could hear a bluebird sing
Bring back the time
I was finding you
And all your beauty
And all your charms
And the warmth of your arms
Oh the warmth of your arms
Bring back the time
When you were mine
And we were walking by the shore
Forever more
The world was ours
Sunshine, flowers, and you
Bring back the time
That summer day
You said you'd marry me
Now I cry but can't you see
These teardrops in my eyes
Aren't just for you
They're for all we planned
Our whole lives through
Things we'll never do
Things we'll never do
Bring back the time
When you were mine
Billy And Sue
B.J. Thomas & The Triumphs
THIS IS A STORY ABOUT BILLY AND SUE
THEY WERE as IN LOVE AS were any TWO
And then BILLY HAD TO DIE
AND WHEN YOU HEAR THE REASON WHY --
YOU'LL HANG YOUR HEAD AND CRY
BILLY AND SUE MET THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
AND EVER SINCE LIVED BY THE GOLDEN RULE

HE WAS OLD ENOUGH TO FIGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY---
AND HIS WAY OF LIFE
BRIDGE- SUE'S LETTERS CAME EVERY DAY
Strengthened his cause, they showed HIM THE WAY
TO FIGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY AND THE GIRL HE loves---
THAT'S A SOLDIER'S ONLY pay
But THEN BILLY HEARD NO more FROM SUE
HE WAS WORRIED SICK BUT WHAT COULD HE DO
THE BULLETS WERE screamin' AS HE HUGGED THE GROUND AND BACK
HOME SUE WAS runnin' ROUND
BILLY WAS getting LESS AND LESS STRONG
HIS HOPE HIS FAITH WAS ALMOST GONE
And THEN LIKE A MIRACLE A LETTER APPEARED
BILLY TORE THE LETTER OPEN AND it READ,
"DEAR JOHN"
A LOOK CAME OVER BILLY THAT WOULD SCARE the GHOST
Of a million single SOLDIERS -- COAST TO COAST
And EVEN THO THE AIR WAS FILLED WITH LEAD
BILLY JUMPED UP
THEY SHOT HIM DEAD
BILLY WAS BURIED IN A FARAWAY GRAVE THAT READ,
"FOR HIS COUNTRY -- HIS LIFE HE GAVE"
BUT THE EPITAPH -- WAS ONLY A PART
HE DIDN'T DIE FROM A BULLET BUT HE DIED
FROM A BROKEN HEART
From: Jb1strat
Once my life
Had no direction
I was lost as could be
I was caught in a world
Spinning around in misery
I needed a friend
You took me in and you touched my heart
With your song of love
You gave me a brand new start
Now there's beautiful music
Flowing all through me
Just like you said
Angels singing
Joy bells ringing inside my head
Since you came inside me
Now I'm lost inside your love
I tasted just enough
To make me hunger for more of you
Now I'm hooked on your lovin'
And I don't wanna break loose
With my heart in my hand
I'm yours to command
I'll do what you say to
Just never let me go Lord
I'm so in love with you
Now there's beautiful music
Flowing all through me
Just like you said
Angels singing
Joy bells ringing inside my head
Since you came inside me
Now I'm lost inside your love
Now there's beautiful music
Flowing all through me
Just like you said
Angels singing
Joy bells ringing inside my head
Now there's beautiful music
Flowing all through me
Just like you said
Show me that smile again
Oh, show me that smile
Don't waste another minute on your cryin'
We're nowhere near the end
We're nowhere near
The best is ready to begin
All in a cloudy daze
I look into your eyes and see them shining out
Holding you close this way
Holding you this way
Is like having summer everyday
Ooh, ooh
As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin' right in our hands
Baby, you and me
We gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin'
As long as we keep on givin'
We can take anything that comes our way
Baby, rain or shine
All the time
We got each other
Sharin' the laughter and love
Promise me here and now
Nothing but jokes
Will never come between us
You can depend on me
'Cause I need you like the air I breathe
Oh, oh
As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin' right in our hands
Baby, you and me
We gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin'
As long as we keep on givin'
We can take anything that comes our way
Baby, rain or shine
All the time
We got each other
Sharin' the laughter and love
As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin' right in our hands
Baby, you and me
We gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin'
As long as we keep on givin'
We can take anything that comes our way
Oh, baby, rain or shine
All the time
We got each other
It's lonely out tonight
And the feelin' just got right for a brand new love song
Somebody done somebody wrong song
Hey, wontcha play another somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home while I miss my baby, while I miss my baby
So please play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry-y-y-y
A real hurtin' song about a love that's gone wrong
'cause I don't want to cry all alone
Hey, wontcha play another somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home while I miss my baby, while I miss my baby
So please play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry-y-y-y
A real hurtin' song about a love that's gone wrong
'cause I don't want to cry all alone
Hey, wontcha play another somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home while I miss my baby, while I miss my baby
(Hey) wontcha play (wontcha play) another somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home while I miss my baby, while I miss my baby
(Hey) wontcha play (wontcha play) another somebody done
FADE
somebody wrong song
Oh, beautiful
For spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountains majesty
Above the fruited plain
America
America
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good
With brotherhood
From sea to shining sea

America is a sharecropper's son
Who plays a guitar
And grows up to be a rock and roll star
Yes even a sharecropper's son can go far
In America
America is an immigrant's daughter
With something to say
Who grows up to be a writer one day
An immigrant's daughter can turn out ok
In America
America
You can build a bigger bridge
You can make a better car
Erect a building tall enough to almost touch a star
Anything you can dream you can do
It's up to you
America is the cop on the beat
Who walks all alone
And offers his life to safeguard your own
Like so many heroes unsung and unknown
In America
America is the telephone man
On top of a pole
The miner who digs deep down in a hole
And each one in search of his own private goal
In America
America
You can build a stronger dam
You can make a faster plane
Irrigate a barren desert that is crying out for rain
Anything you can dream you can do
It's up to you
America is
The light in the harbor
That immigrants see
That tells them they've reached the land of the free
And that is the way it always will be
In America
America
I don't have plans and schemes,
And I don't have hopes and dreams.
I, I, I don't have anything,
Since I don't have you.
And I don't have fond desires,
And I don't have happy hours.
I don't have anything,
Since I don't have you.
I don't have Happiness and I guess
I never will again.
When you walked out on me,
In walked old misery,
And she's been here since then.
I don't have love to share,
And I don't have one who cares.
I don't have anything,
Since I don't have you.
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh yeah!
Doctor God, Doctor God
Won't you give me an appointment?
Been so long since I've had a check up
Can you squeeze me in today?
Doctor God, oh Doctor God
I know there's a long line waiting
Emergency situation
And I need you Doctor God
Now I have come to seek the prophet, yeah
Can you tell me is he in today?
Show me to the man with the healing hands
And tell him to come and take me by my hand
Don't you know I need, I need the doctor, right away
Doctor God, Doctor God
Can you forgive me for the way I've been living?
Taking more than giving
I'm just tired of living this way
Doctor God, Oh Doctor God
Show me that road to salvation
And lead me away from temptation
And close the door to hate
Christmas future is far away
Christmas past is past
Christmas present his here today
Bringing joy that will last
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on your troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on
Our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years
We all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star
Upon the highest bough
And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now
(instrumental)
Here we are as in olden days

Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years
We all will be together

A merry little Christmas
Have yourself
They say that heavens pretty,
and living here is too.
But if they said that I would have to choose between the two.
I'd go home,
going home,
where I belong.
And sometimes when I'm dreaming,
it comes as no surprise.
That if you look and see the homesick feeling in my eyes.
I'm going home,
going home,
where I belong.
While I'm here I'll serve him gladly,
and sing him all my songs.
I'm here,
but not for long.
And when I'm feeling lonely,
and when I'm feeling blue.
It's such a joy to know that I am only passing through.
I'm headed home,
going home,
where I belong.
And one day I'll be sleeping,
when death knocks on my door.
And I'll awake and find that I'm not homesick anymore.
I'll be home,
going home,
where I belong.
Mailman, mailman
have you any mail today
i've been waiting for a letter
i've tried to reach her every way
She's way down in new orleans
and boston's so far away
funny how we met in georgia
it had to be my lucky day
Well i had her name and number
written down in my little red book
but when my plane flew in back home
it wasn't there when i took a look
Oh no
I know i searched for it everywhere
i wonder what shape my mind was in
but all i know i got to see her again
So mailman, mailman
won't you help me sleep tonight
won't you bring me just one letter
and everything will be alright
and everything will be alright
Mr. mailman
mr. mailman
I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream.
yet you're afraid each thing i do is just some evil scheme
a memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
why can't i free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
and so my heart is paying now for things i didn't do
in anger unkind words are spoke that make the teardrops start
why can't i free your doubtful mind, and melt your cold cold heart
you'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
you know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
why do you run and hide from life, to try it just ain't smart
why can't i free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
there was a time when i believed that you belonged to me
but now i know your heart is shackled to a memory
the more i learn to care for you, the more we drift apart
Melinda was mine
'til the time
that i found her
holding jim
and lovin' him
Then you came along
loved me strong
that's what i thought
me and you
but that died too
I don't know that i will
but until i can find me
a girl who'll stay
and won't play games behind me
i'll be what i am
a solitary man
solitary man
I've had it to here
bein' where
love's a small word
part-time thing
a paper ring
I know it's been done
havin' one girl to love you
right or wrong
weak or strong
I don't know that i will
but until i can find me
a girl who'll stay
and won't play games behind me
i'll be what i am
a solitary man
solitary man
I don't know that i will
but until i can find me
a girl who'll stay
and won't play games behind me
i'll be what i am
a solitary man
a solitary man
solitary man
a solitary man
a solitary man
Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well I'm all grown up now
But still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream
So here's my life long wish
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
Ohhhh
This is my grown-up Christmas list
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree
But Heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
The hurting human soul
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
Ohhhh
This is my grown-up Christmas list
What is this illusion called
The innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
Ohhhhh
This is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
Girl, i heard you're getting married
girl, i heard you're getting married
this time you're really sure
and this is the end
they say you really mean it
this guy's the one that makes you feel
so safe, so sane and so secure
and baby if he loves you more than me
and baby if he loves you more than me
maybe it's the best thing
maybe it's the best thing for you
but it's the worst that could happen to me.
i'm never gettin' married, never gettin' married
you know that's not my scene
but a girl like you needs to be married
i've known all along you couldn't live forever
in between.
and baby if he loves you more than me
and baby if he loves you more than me
maybe it's the best thing
maybe it's the best thing for you
but it's the worst that could happen to me.
and girl i don't really blame you
for having a dream of your own
hey girl i don't really blame you
a woman like you needs a house and a home.
baby if he really loves you more than me
maybe it's the best thing
maybe it's the best thing for you
but it's the worst that could happen to me.
oh girl don't wanna get married
girl i'm never, never gonna marry
oh it's the worst thing that could happen
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
But when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry, I wanna die
It's not unusual to go out at any time
But when I see you out and about it's such a crime
If you should ever want to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual, it happens every day
No matter what you say
You'll find it happens all the time
Love will never do what you want it to
Why can't this crazy love be mine
It's not unusual to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual to be sad with anyone
But if I ever find that you've changed at anytime
It's not unusual to find that I'm in love with you
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, whoa, it's not unusual
Friends are like music
Sometimes they're sad, sometimes they're lonely
And need to be told that they're loved
Everyone needs to be loved
Friends are like good wine
And I've had the best
I don't always show it
But no one knows better than I
So drink up
I'm a homesick old sailor
Who longs for the sound
Of my own front door
Tell me your stories, I'll teach you my songs
And we'll have one more
Isn't that what friends are for?
Isn't that what friends are for?
Friends are like warm clothes
In the night air, best when they're old
And we miss them the most when they're gone
Miss them the most when they're gone
Your friends love your good side
And live with your bad
But they want you and need you
When no one else knows you're alive
So drink up
I'm a homesick old sailor
Who longs for the sound
Of my own front door
Tell me your stories, I'll teach you my songs
And we'll have one more
Isn't that what friends are for?
Isn't that what friends are for?
So drink up
I'm a homesick old sailor
Who longs for the sound
Of my own front door
Tell me your stories, I'll teach you my songs
And we'll have one more
So drink up
I'm a homesick old sailor
Who longs for the sound
Of my own front door
Tell me your stories and I'll sing you all my songs
And we'll have one more
Isn't that what friends are for?
They held up as long as they could
All those people at my feet
Yeah
I was so smug in my prime
Up at the height of my conceit
Ohhh ... I thought I would never fall
Oh ... I got to tell you all
I got my back up against the wall
you know this ain't the first time
I got my back up against the wall
It's been a long fight
I didn't know I'd have to make . nooo
And I'm so afraid
It's gonna be more than I can take now baby
You know what I mean
I thought I'd never fall
Oh ... I got to you all
I got my back up against the wall
I ain't jokin ya'll
I got my back against the wall
Sometimes I find myself with my back against the wall
I got my back against the wall
Just like a lot of good people now
They love me all around the world
I can't understand you girl
I wonder why the pure in heart
Oh, they got to have a judgement day
I wonder why
And I wonder what the Lord has made
Now that he plans to throw away
I wonder, what did he really say
I thought I would never fall
Oh ... I got to tell you all
I got my back against the wall
Sometimes you find yourself down on the street
Yeah you do
I got my back against the wall
Sometimes no matter how hard you try
You still take a fall ... oh yeah
I got my back against the wall
Last night I started to cry
And I cried all night long
Yes I did
I got my back against the wall
Last night I started to pray
And I prayed all night long
And thats when I got that feeling ya'll
Down in my soul
It's just a part of life
Come on weatherman,
Give us a forecast snowy white.
Can't you hear the prayers
Of every childlike heart tonight?
Rockies are calling,
Denver snow falling,
Somebody said it's four feet deep.
But it doesn't matter,
Give me the laughter;
I'm gonna choose to keep
Another tender Tennessee Christmas,
The only Christmas for me.
Where the love circles around us,
Like the gift around our tree.
Well I know there's more snow
Up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see,
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me.
Every now and then,
I got a wanderin' urge to see
Maybe California,
Maybe tinsel town's for me.
There's a parade there;
We'd have it made there;
Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve.
Sure sounds exciting,
Awfully inviting,
Still I think I'm gonna keep
Another tender Tennessee Christmas,
The only Christmas for me.
Where the love circles around us,
Like the gift around our tree.
Well they say in L.A.,
It's a warm holiday;
It's the only place to be.
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me.
(Ooh, yeah, yeah.)
(Oh, you know I wanna be home.)
(Ooh-ooh.)
Well I know there's more snow
Up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see,
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me.
A tender Tennessee Christmas
Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
A heavy rain a fallin'
Seems I hear your voice callin'
"It's all right"
A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
Neon signs a flashin'
Taxi cabs and busses passin' through the night
The distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain to the night
A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
How many times I've wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it, think of it
You just got to do your own thing
I find me a place in a box car
So I take out my guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest
And I'm all right
A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
I've had my share
Of life's ups and downs
But fate's been kind
The downs have been few
Ohhh I guess you could say
That I've been lucky
Ohh ohh oh
Yeah I guess you could say
That it's all because of you
If anyone
Should ever write
My life story
Ohh oh
For whatever reason
There might be
You'll be there
Between each line of pain oh and glory
Yeahhh
'Cause you're the best thing
That ever happened to me baby
You're the best thing that ever happened to me
Ohh ohh
Yeah
There have been times
Ohh ohh when times were hard
But somehow we always made it through
'Cause for every
Every moment that I've spent hurting
Ohh ohh
There was a moment
That I spent just loving you
If anyone
Should ever write
My life story
Ohh ohh ohh
For whatever reason there might be
You'll be there
Between each line of pain and glory
Yeahhh
'Cause you're
You're the best thing that ever happened to me baby
You're the best thing that ever happened to me
(Jack Moran - Glenn D. Tubb)
Skip a rope, skip a rope
Listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it funny what the children say
Skip a rope,.
Daddy hates mommy, mommy hates dad
Last night you should've heard the fight they had
It gave little sister another bad dream
And she woke us all up with a terrible scream.
Skip a rope, skip a rope
Listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it funny what the children say
Skip a rope.
Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now what was that they said about the golden rule
Never mind the rule just play to win
And hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin.
Skip a rope, skip a rope
Listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it funny what the children say
Skip a rope.
--- Instrumental ---
Stab 'em in the back that's the name of the game
And mommy and daddy are who's to blame
Skip a rope, skip a rope
Listen to your children while they play
Now it's not funny what the children say
I hope there's really a Santa Claus
I hope he lives on the cold north pole
I hope the stockings are hung on the wall
May the child stay in us all
God bless the children everywhere
For they haven't yet learned not to care
We must not let time age the soul
May the child stay in us all
I hope there's really a reindeer that flies
Does a snowman see through his button eyes
I hope that when our hair turns to grey
All the child in us will stay
God bless the children everywhere
For they haven't yet learned not to care
Time must not turn our own hearts cold
May the child stay in us all
May the child stay in us all
Unless we be like children
The gates of heaven close
Until we think like children
Our souls will never grow old
God bless the children everywhere
For they haven't yet learned not to care
Time must not turn our own hearts cold
May the child stay in us all
May the child stay in us all
Raindrops are falling on my head
and just like the guy whose feet
are too big for his bed
nothing seems to fit
those raindrops
are falling on my head
they keep falling.
So i just did me some
talking to the sun
and i said i didn't like the way
he got things done
he's sleeping on the job
those raindrops
are falling on my head
they keep fallin'
But theres one thing i know
the blues they send to meet me
won't defeat me it won't be long
till happiness
steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
but that doesn't mean my eyes
will soon be turning red
crying's not for me cause,
i'm never gonna stop the rain
by complaining,
because i'm free
nothings worrying me
it won't be long
till happiness
steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
but that doesn't mean my eyes
will soon be turning red
crying's not for me cause,
i'm never gonna stop the rain
by complaining,
I've been looking at people
and how they change with the time
And Lately all I've been seeing my people
throwing love away and losing their mind
Maybe I'm the one who's gone crazy,
but i can understand why...
All this lovers are hurting each other,
when good love is so hard to comeback.
Chorus:
So whats the glory in living,
doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore
And if Love never last forever,
Tell me Whats Forever for...
And I see love hungry people
Doing the best to survive
When right here in there hand is a dying a man
And then I even try to keep them alive...
Someone to care
Someone to share
Lonely hours and moments of despair
To be loved, to be loved
Oh what a feeling to be loved
Someone to kiss
Someone to miss
When you're away
To hear from each day
To be love, to be loved
Oh what a feeling to be loved
Some wish to be a king or a queen
Some wish for fortune and fame
But to be, truly, truly, truly loved is
More than all of these things
Someone to kiss
Someone to miss
When you're away to hear from each day
To be loved, to be love, to be love
Oh what a feeling to be loved
Girl, I can understand how it might be
Kinda hard to love a guy like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know
I've loved you better that your own kin did
From the very start it's my own fault
What happens to my heart
You see I've always known you'd go
So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean that I'll never kiss
Those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind
Find that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me when you can
Now I know it'll make you feel sad
And make you feel so bad
They say you don't treat me me like you should
They got ways to make you feels no good
I guess they got no way to know
I've had my eyes wide open from the start
And girl, you never lied to me
The part of you that they'll never see
Is the part you've shown to me
So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean that I'll never kiss
Those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind
Find that dappled dream of yours
Standing in my eyes
You'll always be the reason
That I know I can't keep you for good
And I'm not even sure that I should
Oh girl
If you must leave my life
You'll leave me alone
And baby, long
Before you leave my life
Be sure to have your own
Somewhere in my mouth
They'll always be the taste of you
Forever is so very long
I don't want your life to go wrong
So girl
If you must leave my life
Consider every part
And baby, long
Before you leave my life
Be sure you have your heart
Now consider every part
Girl, be sure to have your heart
'Cause if it's not there
When you unpack
It may not be here
When you get back
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Oh girl
Be sure you have your heart
Oh, oh girl
Consider every part
Such a pretty little face,
With a heart that's been torn.
Living in a borrowed space,
From the moment she was born.
How many times shes cried,
But never tears of joy.
Someones taken a little girl, and made a broken toy.
Two sad little eyes,
Painted heartbreak blue.
The simplest of his dreams,
Never will come true.
Someone elses pain,
Fell on this little boy.
Someones taken a soldier,
And made a broken toy.
Broken toys,
Who will mend these broken toys?
For everyone one we break,
A broken life takes its place.
That one day will break toys of its own.
Oh Lord, we've got to mend these broken toys.
And let them be children again,
Give back the innocence stolen from them.
Broken toys,
Who will mend these broken toys?
For everyone we break,
A broken life takes its place.
That one day will break toys of its own.
