Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft upon my skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night
I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
Chorus
One day at a time, Sweet Jesus,
That's all I'm asking from you,
Just give me the strength to do every day,
What I have to do,
Yesterday's gone, Sweet Jesus,
And tomorrow may never be mine,
Lord, help me today, show me the way,
One day at a time,
I'm only human, I'm just a man,
Help me believe, in what I could be,
And all that I am,
Show me the stairway, I have to climb,
Lord for my sake, teach me to take,
One day at a time,
Repeat Chorus
Do you remember,
When you walked among men,
Well Jesus, you know if you're looking below,
It's worse now than then,
Pushing and shoving, crowding my mind,
So for my sake, teach me to take,
One day at a time,
Repeat Chorus
Lord help me today, show me the way,
One day at a time…… (Repeat 3 Times)
(Allan Jeffrey / Claire Rothrock / Milton Yakus)
If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod.
If you like the taste of a lobster stew
Served by a window with an ocean view
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod.
Winding roads that seem to beckon you
Miles of green beneath a sky of blue
Church bells chimin' on a Sunday morn
Remind you of the town where you were born.
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay
Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod.
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay
Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod.
You're sure to fall in love
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod...
Oh Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul, my Saviour, God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour, God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
When Christ shall come with shouts of adulation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my God, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour, God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour, God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
I don't want to hear it
No more fussin' and a fightin'
Baby, hold me tight
Let's let bygones be bygones
Let's think about tomorrow
Our future's bright
Chorus
Well I know I was wrong
I was such a fool
Too blind to see
You are the only one for me
Ah, but now I've seen the light
Everythings gonna be all right
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible says
Mary's Boy Child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day.
Hark, now hear the angels sing
New King's born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day.
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
And heard a choir from heaven sing
The music came from afar.
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
New King's born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day.
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear her Child
Not a single room was in sight.
By and by they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little Boy Child was born.
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day...
Take me in your arms and never let me go
Whisper to me softly while the moon is low
Hold me close and tell me what I want to know
Say it to me gently, let the sweet talk flow
Come a little closer, make love to me
Kiss me once again before we say goodnight
Take me in your lovin' arms and squeeze me tight
Put me in a mood so I can dream all night
Everybody's sleepin' so it's quite all right
Come a little closer, make love to me
When your near, so help me, dear
Chills run up my spine
Don't you know, I love you so
I won't be happy till you're mine
When I'm in your arms, you give my heart a treat
Everything about you is so doggone sweet
Every time we kiss you, make my life complete
Baby doll, you know, you swept me off my feet
Now's the time to tell you, make love to me
When I'm in your arms, you give my heart a treat
Everything about you is so doggone sweet
Every time we kiss you, make my life complete
Baby doll, you know, you swept me off my feet
When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love.
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.
When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart.
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I’ll fall in love with you.
When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart.
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I fall in love
When I fall in love with you...
Gone is the romance that was so divine.
'Tis broken and cannot be mended.
You must go your way
And I must go mine.
But now that our love dreams have
ended:
What'll I do
When you are far away
And I am blue?
What'll I do?
What'll I do
When I am wond'rin who
Is kissing you?
What'll I do?
CHORUS:
What'll I do
With just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true,
What'll I do?
Interlude:
REPEAT CHORUS:
What'll I do?
There's a big fan that's slowly turnin'
In a Yucatan Cafe
The waitress works beneath
Both night and day
And they'll find, they'll find that lately
I'm spendin' all my time
Goin' down to see
That singin' man of mine
Maybe it's wrong
My mamma might be right
Seeing a boy I don't know every night
Maybe it's time
I try to let you be
Or maybe it's love
At last that's come to me
Let's walk out to the ruins
And look up at the moon
And wonder what those Mayans used to do
You know they might be watchin' us
So let's stay for a while
And they'll make some love
And make those Mayans smile
Maybe it's wrong
My mamma might be right
Seeing a boy I don't know every night
Maybe it's time
I try to let you be
Or maybe it's love
At last that's come to me
Maybe it's love
There must be thousands of people out there
Who search for love and find more than their share
They seem to fall into it naturally
But you know that doesn't apply to me
Some fools get lucky
The first time out, take a chance on love and they win
But some fools like me, they never learn
They keep on playin' the game
And it turns out the same
Oh, when will it ever be lucky me?
I got that butterfly feeling inside
With you I knew that love had fin'lly arrived
Now like all the rest you say goodbye
Leavin' me alone to keep wondering why
Some fools get lucky
The first time out, take a chance on love and they win
But some fools like me, they never learn
They keep on playin' the game
Though it turns out the same
Oh, when will it ever be,
Oh, my heart aches impatiently
Oh-oh, when will it ever be lucky me,
You made me love you.
I didn't want to do it.
I didn't want to do it.
You made me want you.
And all the time you knew it.
I guess you always knew it.
You made me happy sometimes.
You made me glad.
But there were times, dear,
You made me feel so bad.
CHORUS:
You made me sigh for.
I didn't wanna tell ya.
I didn't wanna tell ya.
I want some love that's true,
Yes I do,
'Deed I do, you know I do.
Give me, give me, give me,
Give me what I cry for.
You know you've got
The kind of kisses that I'd die for.
You know you made me love you.

There's a wren in a willow wood
Flies so high and sings so good
And he brings to you what he sings to you
Like my brother the wren and I
Well, he told if I try, I could fly for you
And I wanna try for you 'cause
CHORUS
I wanna sing you a love song
I wanna rock you in my arms all night long
I wanna get to know you
I wanna show you the peaceful feelin' of my home
Summer thunder on moon-bright days
Northern Lights and skies ablaze
And I bring to you, lover, when I sing to you
Silver wings in a fiery sky
Show the trail of my love and I
Sing to you, love is what I bring to you
And I wanna sing to you, oh
CHORUS
CHORUS
I wanna show you the peaceful feelin' of my home
The other night dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Chorus:
So let the sun shine in
Face it with a grin
Smilers never loose
And frowners never win
So let the sun shine in
Face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in.
My mommy told me something
That little girls should know
It's all about the devil
And I've learned to hate him so
I know he'll be unhappy
‘Cause I'll never wear a frown
Maybe if we keep on smiling
He'll get tired of hangin' round.
Chorus:
So let the sun shine in
Face it with a grin
Smilers never loose
And frowners never win
So let the sun shine in
Face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in.
Chorus:
So let the sun shine in
Face it with a grin
Smilers never loose
And frowners never win
So let the sun shine in
Face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in...
Look how the sky's all silver, beautiful Montreal
Out of the sky of silver snowflakes begin to fall
I sit by my window I take my pen in hand
If I sound a little wintry you'll have to understand.
So how is California, how is the weather there?
Where everyday is sunny and where all the skies are fair
Tell me do you remember how once upon a time
We'd sit and watch the snow fall sharing a glass of wine?
Oh, that sad old wintry feeling
I don't really seem to mind
Sad but sweet old wintry feeling
Oh, that wintry feeling
Somehow it just seems to suit me fine.
If you are never cold love then who's going to keep you warm
You'll take the sun for granted love if you run from every storm
But Lord, me and this old guitar we've seen a storm or two
We've seen a million drifters these snowflakes and you.
Oh, that sad old wintry feeling
I don't really seem to mind
Sad but sweet old wintry feeling
Oh, that wintry feeling
Somehow it just seems to suit me fine.
Oh, that sad old wintry feeling
I don't really seem to mind...
You've been moody and distracted
But I've never seen you like you are today
My love, you're so very far away
And I can't get inside you
I cannot get to where the secret lies
Past those shadows in your eyes.
Where do you go when you dream
And is there someone with you
And what do you do
You don't do with me
Where do you go when you dream
Is the morning as beautiful there
As when you share a dream with me
How could it ever be?
But tell me how to bring you back
Should I be distant too
Oh no, I couldn't be that way with you
You know you can be honest
If there's something wrong then tell me so
But darlin' I just need to know.
Where do you go when you dream
And is there someone with you
And what do you do
You don't do with me
Where do you go when you dream
Is the morning as beautiful there
As when you share a dream with me.
Where do you go when you dream
And is there someone with you
And what do you do
You don't do with me
Where do you go when you dream
Is the morning as beautiful there
As when you share a dream with me.
CHORUS:
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some
sunny day.
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
"Til the blue skies
Drive the dark clouds far away.
So will you please say "hello"
To the folks that I know.
Tell 'em I won't be long.
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go,
I was singin' this song.
REPEAT CHORUS:
Interlude:
So will you please say "hello"
To the folks that I love.
Tell 'em I won't be long.
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go,
I was singin' this song.
REPEAT CHORUS:
I know we'll meet again some sunny
The love that we have
Is not so bad
Unless you think about
The love that we had
I don't know, who closed the door
But we don't make love anymore
We used to love
You used to care
Now it's hard to find
The feeling we shared
You found a way
To even the score
And we don't make love anymore
So come lie down
Beside me and talk to me
Touch me with your body and your mind
Help me find the feeling
And push all this behind
We'll make sweet, sweet love one more time
But you won't try
And I'll understand
We'll just live our lives
The best we can
We turn out the lights
We still lock the door
Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind.
In a lonely shack by a railroad track
He spent his younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward-bound
Made him a slave to his wand'rin ways.
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind.
Oh, I met him there in a border town
He vowed we'd never part
Though he tried his best to settle down
I'm now alone with a broken heart.
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind.
Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind...
I want you to tell me why you walked out on me
I'm so lonesome every day
I want you to know that since you walked out on me
Nothing seems to be the same old way
Think about the love that burns
Within my heart for you
The times we had before you went away, oh me
Walk right back to me this minute
Bring your love to me, don't send it
I'm so lonesome every day, I'm so lonesome every day
I'm so lonesome every day, I'm so lonesome every day
Every night I sit here by my window
Staring at the lonely avenue
Watching lovers holding hands and laughing
And thinking 'bout the things we used to do.
Chorus:
(Thinking of things)
Like a walk in the park
(Things) like a kiss in the dark
(Things) like a sailboat ride
What about the night we cried.
Things like a lovers vow, things that we don't do now
Thinking 'bout the things we used to do
Memories are all I have to cling to
And heartaches are the friends I'm talking to.
When I'm not thinking of
Just how much I love you
Well, I'm thinking bout the
Things we used to do.
Chorus:
(Thinking of things)
Like a walk in the park
(Things) like a kiss in the dark
(Things) like a sailboat ride
What about the night we cried.
Things like a lovers vow, things that we don't do now
Thinking bout the things we used to do.
Still can hear the jukebox softly playing
And the face I see it still belongs to you.
Now there's not a single sound,
There's nobody else around
Well, it's just me thinking 'bout
The things we used to do.
Chorus:
(Thinking of things)
Like a walk in the park
(Things) like a kiss in the dark
(Things) like a sailboat ride
What about the night we cried.
Things like a lovers vow, things that we don't do now
Thinking bout the things we used to do
And heartaches are the friends I'm talking to
Got me thinking 'bout the things we used to do.
Staring at the lonely avenue
If you walk away, you want to be
It may depend on the way you see
And if there's anything that you want to be
The change lies in your hands, you'll see
We're the keepers of our focus
We're the keepers with the keys
We're the makers of all the confusion
We're the planters with the seeds
So burn the candles bright
And let the light dispel the dark
Turn our minds together
The world becomes a people's park
Can you imagine that my friends now
Can you imagine
The world spinning 'round and 'round
We're the keepers of our focus
We're the keepers with the keys
We're the makers of all the confusion
We're the planters with the seeds
So burn the candles bright
And let the light dispel the dark
Come turn our minds together
The world becomes a people's park
Can you imagine that my friends now
Can you imagine
The world spinning 'round and 'round
Burn the candles bright
And let the light dispel the dark
Come turn our minds together
The world becomes a people's park
Can you imagine that my friends now
Can you imagine
The world spinning 'round and 'round
It's a long distance phone
And I feel so alone
Here without him.
Its a crime and a shame
That I ain't got the change
And don't you know that
I'm worried about him.
I've been all over street
Every street, up and down
Looking for the man.
It's just a face in the crowd
Where the traffic roars loud
But don't you know he'd be
Proud to give a helping hand.
Chorus:
Mister, can you
Fnd it in your heart
To lend me a dollar
For the times have been slow
I'm fresh outta dough
And I ain't got the
Money to call him.
I threw my pride out the door
'Cause I've been turned down before
But I'll keep trying.
This kind of pain is
Kind of hard to explain
But the feeling's the same
As like dying.
Chorus:
Mister, can you
Fnd it in your heart
To lend me a dollar
For the times have been slow
I'm fresh outta dough
And I ain't got the
Money to call him.
You put the change in my hand
You're the world's kindest man
And I thank you, Sir.
You'll never know what you've done
For this poor mother's son
A thirsty man just got a
Cold cup of water.
Chorus:
Mister, can you
Fnd it in your heart
To lend me a dollar
For the times have been slow
I'm fresh outta dough
And I ain't got the
Money to call him.
Chorus:
Mister, can you
Fnd it in your heart
To lend me a dollar
For the times have been slow
I'm fresh outta dough
And I ain't got the
Money to call him.
somebody's always sayin goodbye
by anne murray
railroad station, midnight trains
lonely airports in the rain
and somebody stands there with tears in their eyes
it's the same old scene, time after time
that's the trouble with all mankind somebody's always sayin goodbye
taxi cabs leave in the night
greyhound buses with red tail lights
someone's leavin and someone's left behind
well i dont know how things got that way
but every place you look these days
somebody's always sayin goodbye
take two people like me and you
we could have made it , we just quit too soon
oh the two of us, we could have had it all
if we'd only tried
but that's the way love is, it seems
just when you've got a real good thing
somebody's always sayin goodbye
somebody's always sayin goodbye
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean,
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green.
The snowbird sings the song he always sings,
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring.
When I was young my heart was young then, too.
And anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do.
But now I feel such emptiness within,
For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win.
Spread your tiny wings and fly away,
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.
The one I love forever is untrue,
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you.
The breeze along the river seems to say,
That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay.
So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go,
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow.
Spread your tiny wings and fly away,
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.
The one I love forever is untrue,
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you.
Yeah, if I could I know that I would fly away with you...
Smile, though your heart is aching.
Smile, even though it's breaking.
When there are clouds in the sky,
You'll get by.....
If you smile.
Through your fear and sorrow,
Smile, and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun
Come shining through for you,
If you just smile.
CHORUS:
Light up your face with gladness.
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time you must keep on trying.
Smile, what's the use of crying.
You'll find that life is still worth
while,
If you just smile.
Interlude:
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
Chorus
We'll be shadows in the moonlight
darlin I'll meet you at midnight
Hand and hand we'll go
dancin' through the Milky Way
And we'll find a little hide a way
where we can love the whole night away
We'll be shadows in the moonlight
right up till the light of day
Ooh the night is young
and baby, so are we
Glad, I'm gonna make you glad you came
Ooh you won't need a thing
Just bring your love for me
And darlin' I will do the same
We'll be shadows in the moonlight
darlin I'll meet you at midnight
Hand and hand we'll go
dancin' through the Milky Way
(Instrumental)
Ooh you won't need a thing
Just bring your love for me
You'll be glad you came
Just wait and see
Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why I am so in love with you
Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret anymore
Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
Flying down the street on my American Ace
I was fast on my feet or flat on my face,
Testing my freedom from that day on
Runnin' down the wind all the way back home
That bike you gave me was one of my favorite things
That day I discovered you'd given me roots and wings.
Chorus:
Roots and wings, gifts of love
Holding me strong and lifting me up
Child of the earth and a rider of the wind
A dreamer of dreams caught in between roots and wings.
You weren't standing in my way when I was 18
Letting your heart break and letting me leave
I was headin' my Chevy for the great unknown
Knowing you'd be waiting at the end of that road
Sometimes you've doubted the wisdom of my foolish dreams
You never once denied me my roots and wings.
Chorus:
Roots and wings, gifts of love
Holding me strong and lifting me up
Child of the earth and a rider of the wind
A dreamer of dreams caught in between roots and wings.
Now part of me wants to stay close to the ground
And part of me wants to never come down.
Chorus:
Roots and wings, gifts of love
Holding me strong and lifting me up
Child of the earth and a rider of the wind
A dreamer of dreams caught in between roots and wings...
The sun is out, the sky is blue.
There's not a cloud,that spoils the view.
But it's raining,
Raining in my heart.
The weatherman says, ''Clear today.''
He doesn't know it's gone away.
But it's raining,
Raining in my heart.
Chorus:
Oh, misery, misery,
What's gonna become of me?
I tell my blues, they mustn't show,
But soon these tears, they're bound to flow.
'Cause it's raining,
Raining in my heart.
--- Instrumental ---
And it's raining, raining in my heart.
And it's raining, raining in my heart.
Chorus:
Oh, misery, misery,
What's gonna become of me?
I tell my blues, they mustn't show,
But soon these tears, they're bound to flow.
'Cause it's raining,
Raining in my heart.
Raining in my heart.
Raining in my heart...
Chorus:
Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water;
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea.
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently,
By putting your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee.
Every Time I look into the holy book I wanna tremble
When I read about the part where the carpenter cleared the temple
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellers than what I profess to be,
And it causes me shame to know I'm not the gal that I should be.
Chorus:
Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water;
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea.
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently,
By putting your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee.
Momma taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven,
When I'm down on my knees, that's when I'm close to heaven.
Daddy lived his life with two kids and a wife; you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes to get you through.
Chorus:
Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water;
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea.
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently,
By putting your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee...

O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
'Till He appeared and the Soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, devine; O night O night divine!
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
(You and Me)
Up until now I've learned to live without love
Like a ship without a sail, wandering aimlessly lost
I never knew how it felt to lose my control
Now that I've found you, this is all so new
You and me, we've got a destiny
Starting tonight we'll be together
You and me, this is what love should be
And it's gonna be right, now and forever
Darlin', inside your eyes I can see mysteries there
And you're melting the ice surrounding me, I'm no longer scared
I feel you inside my soul and I'm captured tonight
But don't let go, this is paradise
You and me, we've got a destiny
Starting tonight we'll be together
You and me, this is what love should be
And it's gonna be right, if you tell me
There's a heaven up above, then that's what I'll believe
'cause you're the one thing that I'm so sure of
I feel you inside my soul and I'm captive tonight
But don't let go, this is paradise
You and me, we've got a destiny
Starting tonight we'll be together
You and me, this is what love should be
And it's gonna be right, now and forever
You and me, we've got a destiny
Starting tonight we'll be together
You and me, this is what love should be
And it's gonna be right
Woo ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I know how hard he'll take it
When he finds out I can't stay-ay-ay
So I don't want to have to tell him
If there's any other way
Is there any new way out
Where hearts are never bro-oken
(Is there any new way out)
Where no one's ever hurt in anger
(Is there any new way out)
And harsh words are never spoken
(Is there any new way ou-out)
Now it only stands to reason
With all the plans that mix
That someone might have stumbled
On a better way than this
Is there any new way out
Where tears are never nee-eeded
(Is there any new way out)
Where no one ever need surrender
(Is there any new way out)
And neither side's mistrea-eated
(Is there any new way ou-out)
Is there any new way out
Where hearts are never bro-oken
(Is there any new way out)
Where no one's ever hurt in anger
(Is there any new way out)
And harsh words are never spoken
(Is there any new way out)
Is there any new way out
Where tears are never nee-eeded
(Is there any new way out)
Where no one ever need surrender
(Is there any new way out)
And neither side's mistreated
Maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm weak or maybe I'm strong
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you.
Maybe I'll win, maybe I'll lose
Maybe I'm in for cryin' the blues
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you.
Somehow I know at a glance
The terrible chances I'm taking
Fine at the start then left
With a heart that is breaking.
Maybe I'll live a life of regret
And maybe I'll give much more than I get
But nevertheless I'm in love with you.
Somehow I know at a glance
The terrible chances I-I'm taking
Fine at the start then left
With a heart that is breaking.
Maybe I'll live a life of regret
And maybe I'll give much more than I get
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you...
Life is a book that we study
Some of it's leaves bring a sigh
There it was written, my buddy
That we must part, you and I
Nights are long since you went away
I think about you all through the day
My buddy, my buddy
Nobody quite so true
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
Just long to know that you understand
My buddy, my buddy
Your buddy misses you
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
Just long to know that you understand
My buddy, my buddy
Your buddy misses you
(Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne 1945)
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally say good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...
Joy to the world the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room,
and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven, and heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the world the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
while fields and floods,
rocks, hills and plains,
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
and makes the nations prove,
the glories of His righteousness,
and wonders of His love,
and wonders of His love,
I'm dreaming tonight
Of a place that I love
Even more than I usually do
And the home I know
Is a long way back
I promise you.
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.
(I'll be home for Christmas)
(You can count on me)
(Please have snow and mistletoe)
(And presents on the tree.)
Christmas time will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.
I'll be home for Christmas,
If only in my dreams...
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Toys in ev'ry store,
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen.
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ev'rywhere you go;
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart...
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses
And He walks with me and He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of His voice is so sweet
The birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
And He walks with me and He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
I stay in the garden with Him
Though the night all around me is falling
But He bids me go, through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling
And He walks with me and He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
Sometimes I almost stop my breathin'
When I think how much I love you
And sometimes I feel like cryin'
For no reason at all
Sometimes I feel that I can't take it
Seeing all that love coming back from your eyes
And sometimes I feel like cryin'
For no reason at all
Sometimes I get a little crazy
I think of you and my head gets hazy
And sometimes I just can't think at all
Ooh baby, I love you
Sometimes when I feel myself reachin' for you
I can't believe you're lyin' there beside me
And sometimes I feel like cryin'
For no reason at all
Sometimes I get a little crazy
I think of you and my head gets hazy
And sometimes I just can't think at all
Ooh baby, I love you
Sometimes when I feel myself reachin' for you
I can't believe you're lyin' there beside me
And sometimes I feel like cryin'
I wonder who's kissing him now?
I wonder who's showing him how?
I wonder who's looking into his eyes,
Breathing sighs and telling lies?
I wonder who's buying the wine,
For lips that I used to call mine?
I wonder if he ever tells her of me?
I wonder who's kissing him now?
I wonder who's buying the wine,
For lips that I used to call mine?
I wonder if he ever tells her of me?
I wonder who's kissing, her now?...
Well you know I'm really bad at writing letters
You know I'm not much better with the phone
Day after day goes by and I still think of you
'Cause I still wish the very best for you
Well I've been hearing that you've got a baby
And that you're happy with somebody new
You an I both know sometimes
These things don't work out right
I want you to know
That I still wish the very best for you
So don't you think because we're not together
That I won't wish the very best for you
Even though your love shines on some other
Baby I want you to know
That I still wish the very best for you
So love and be loved by another
You don't have to feel we're going to lose
You are free to roam and rediscover
Dreaming, I must be dreaming
Or am I really lying here with you?
Baby, you take me in your arms
And though I'm wide awake
I know my dream is coming true
And oh I just fall in love again
Just one touch and then it happens every time
There I go I just fall in love again
And when I do, I can't help myself
I fall in love with you
Magic, it must be magic
The way I hold you when
the night just seems to fly
Easy for you to take me to a star
Heaven is that moment when
I look into your eyes
And oh I just fall in love again
Just one touch and then it happens every time
There I go I just fall in love again
And when I do
I can't help myself
I fall in love with you
Can't help myself
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
I'll walk in the rain by your side
I'll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand
I'll do anything to help you understand
I'll love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me
Little birds will sing along in time
The leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime.
I'll be there when you're feeling down
To kiss away the tears if you cry
I'll share with you all the happiness I've found
A reflection of the love in your eyes.
And the wind will whisper your name to me
Little birds will sing along in time
The leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime.
And the wind will whisper your name to me
Little birds will sing along in time...
Just a kiss at the end of an evening
When the lights are turned down low.
One kiss leads to another.
Someone whispers, ''Darling, don't go.''
Chorus:
Heaven is here,
Can't you see?
These are the things love is made of
And will always be.
It's late but there's no thought of leavin',
For tomorrow is so far away.
The night you found courage to tell him,
That you found out to tell him today
Chorus:
Heaven is here,
Can't you see?
These are the things love is made of
And will always be.
As you leave down the hallway, you're whistling,
Some strange melody you never knew.
And it won't leave your head,
As you climb into bed,
No matter what you do.
Chorus:
Heaven is here,
Can't you see?
These are the things love is made of
And will always be.
These are the things love is made of
And will always be...
Just because I ask a friend about him
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I rang his number by mistake today
He thinks I still care
Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of him lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy girl I used to be
He thinks I still care
And if he's happy thinking I still need him
Then let that silly notion bring him cheer
But how could he ever be so foolish?
Or where would he get such an idea?
Just because I ask a friend about him
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I saw him, then went all to pieces
He thinks I still care
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Joyful, all ye nations, rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King
Hail, the Heaven born Prince of Peace
Hail, the Son of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Risen with healing in His wings
Mild he lays his glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King
Hark! the herald angels sing
All the world is a room
And the room is painted blue
You look at me, I look at you
And we need our song to pull us through
But the melody is changin'
And the words have slipped away
And we cannot sing our good old song
Like we could in the good old days
Leavin' you, it sure ain't easy
I think of the summer nights we knew
I remember the way you used to please me
But the time is now upon us to go our separate ways
Because we cannot sing the good old song
Like we could in the good old days
And don't you want to have your chance?
Don't you want to try a new romance?
And I know you will
(I know you will)
When the time is right
You will dance on the highest hill
In the night
But tonight I want to hold you close
I wanna feel you near me one more time
But too bad, so sad, that's how it goes
When your friends all come and ask you
Why your lover went away?
Just tell 'em we could not sing the good old song
Like we could in the good old days
Just tell 'em we could not sing the good old song
Note: Anne sang it this song in a television specials but never recorded it.
The sun was setting in the west
The birds were singing on every tree
All nature seemed inclined for to rest
But still there was no rest for me.
Chorus
Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?
I grieve to leave my native land
I grieve to leave my comrades all
And my parents whom I held so dear
And the bonnie, bonnie lassie that I do adore.
The drums they do beat and the wars to alarm
The captain calls, we must obey
So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms
For it's early in the morning I am far, far away.
I have three brothers and they are at rest
Their arms are folded on their breast
But a poor simple sailor just like me
Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea...
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper, "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say, "Nightie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
But in your dreams whatever they be
When I'm not playing solitaire
I take a book down from the shelf
And what's with programs on the air
I keep pretty much to myself
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Oh, darlin', I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
Oh, darlin', I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
When you close your eyes to kiss her
Do you think of me
When your arms reach out to hold her
Do you think of me
When you tell her that you love her
Do the words come easily
Or do you find it was
Because you’re thinking of me
When you wake and you’re beside her
Do you think of me
When you’re wondering what to buy her
Do you think of me
When you plan your lives together
Does it feel like it should be
Or is something wrong
Because you’re thinking of me
When you dream your dreams at night
Do you still see my face
Do you slip sometimes
And call out my name by mistake
Do you sit like me and wonder
If it is too late to begin again
Living a love that won’t end
When she tells you that she loves you
Do your eyes tear happily
Or do you find you cry
Because you’re thinking of me
Or do you find you cry
I could hide beneath the wings of the bluebird as she sleeps
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and we rise, wipe the sleep out of our eyes
A shavin' razor's cold and it's sting
Cheer up, sleepy jean, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecomin' queen?
I once thought of you as a white knight on a steed
Now you know how happy we can be
And our good times started then with a dollar one to spend
But how much, baby, do we really need?
Cheer up, sleepy jean, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecomin' queen?
Cheer up, sleepy jean, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecomin' queen?
Cheer up, sleepy jean, what can it mean
Coventry Carol (Choral)
Lullaby, thou little tiny child,
Bye, bye lullay, lullay
Lullay, thou little tiny child,
Bye, bye lullay, lullay.
Oh sisters too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day,
This poor youngling for whom we sing,
Bye, bye lullay, lullay.
Herod the king in his reign,
Charged he hath this day,
His men of night, in his own sight,
All children young to stay.
Then woe is me, poor child for thee,
And ever mourn and say,
For thy parting not say, nor sing,
Bye, bye lullay, lullay...
Lullaby, thou little tiny child,
Bye, bye lullay, lullay
Lullay, thou little tiny child,
Bye, bye lullay, lullay.
Oh sisters too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day,
This poor youngling for whom we sing,
Bye, bye lullay, lullay.
Herod the king in his reign,
Charged he hath this day,
His men of night, in his own sight,
All children young to stay.
Then woe is me, poor child for thee,
And ever mourn and say,
For thy parting not say, nor sing,
Bye, bye lullay, lullay...
There's a house on a hill
By a worn down weathered old mill
In a valley below where the river winds
There's no such thing as bad times
And a soft southern flame, oh Cotton Jenny's her name
And she wakes him up when the sun goes down
And the wheel of love goes round
Wheels of love go round, love go round
Love go round, a joyful sound
He ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go round
When the new day begins, he goes down to the cotton gin
And he makes his time worth while to then
Then he climbs back up again
And she waits by the door, oh Cotton Jenny he's sore
And she rubs his feet while the sun goes down
And the wheel of love goes round
Wheels of love go round, love go round
Love go round, a joyful sound
He ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go round
Wheels of love go round, love go round
Love go round, a joyful sound
He ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go round
Wheels go round
Wheels go round
Love go round
Love go round
Love go round
If I had my way this Christmas
If all I would wish could be
Of all the great wishes
In a wonderful world
I'd only ask for three.
And if I could have three wishes
And if my first wish came true
There'd be peace on earth
Good will among men
And love in all that we do.
Can you imagine a world like that
What a wonderful world it would be
And then I would wish
It could go on forever
For people like you and me.
If I had my way this Christmas
And if the two others came true
My third wish would be
For now and forever
To share all my wishes with you.
My third wish would be
For now and forever
To share all my wishes with you...
You must remember this,
A kiss is just a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh,
The fundamental things apply,
As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo,
They still say, "I love you."
On that you can rely,
No matter what the future brings,
As time goes by.
Moonlight and love songs,
Never out of date,
Hearts full of passion,
Jealousy and hate,
Woman need man,
And man must have his mate,
That no one can deny.
It's still the same old story,
A fight for love and glory,
A case of do or die,
The world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by.
It's still the same old story,
A fight for love and glory,
A case of do or die,
The world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by.
The world will always welcome lovers,
Rain in the sky
A tear in my eye
Static on the radio
The long night's begun
With dinner for one
You said, you'd never go
Blessed are the believers
They shall inherit a heartache
Believing in you, babe
That was my greatest heartbreak
Blessed are all the left behind
For their hearts shall one day mend
When loving those same sweet lies
Make us believers again
Cold coffee cup
Sun comin' up
Sleep is a distant dream low
Something you said
Rolls 'round in my head
Something that you didn't mean
Blessed are the believers
They shall inherit a heartache
Believing in you, babe
That was my greatest heartbreak
Blessed are all the left behind
For their hearts shall one day mend
When loving those same sweet lies
Make us believers again
Blessed are the believers
They shall inherit a heartache
Believing in you, babe
Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
'Til morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven

Allegheny Moon, I need your light
To help me find romance tonight
So shine – shine – shine

The magic of your lamp of love
Can make him mine
Allegheny Moon, it's up to you
Please see what you can do
For me – and for my one and only love
(Shine – shine – shine on tonight)
(Shine – shine – shine)
High among the stars, so bright above
The magic of your lamp of love
Can make him mine
Allegheny Moon, it's up to you
Please see what you can do
For me, and for my one and only love
For me, and for my one and only love
(Shine – shine – shine on tonight)
(Shine – shine – shine on tonight)

(Shine – shine – shine on tonight)
After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone, there's no denyin'
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal you ever had
There'll come a time, now, don't forget it
There come a time when you'll you regret it
Someday, when you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only
After you've gone, after you've gone away
After I'm gone, after we break up
After I'm gone, you're gonna wake up
You will find that you were blind
To let somebody come and change your mind
After the years we've been together
Through joy and tears, all kinds of weather
Someday,blue and downhearted
You'll long to be with me right back were you started
I don't wanna lose my new found love,
So many things do fall through.
Still I don't pretend
That he's the friend that I'm used to.
And I blame myself for every cruel
and careless thing I do.
He can't help it,
If he's not you.
He wants nothing more than pleasin' me,
But I know he can't help but see.
He's a man any girl would be proud,
Just to be true to.
All I don't know why he keeps on forgivin' me
For the pain I put him through
He can't help it,
If he's not you.
He can't hold me like you held me
He can't make me feel the same.
Though he's not the one I dream about,
He's not the one to blame.
And it's not what he
Deserves from me
For the love he brings is true.
He can't help it,
If he's not you.
And it's not what he
Deserves from me
For the love he brings is true.
He can't help it,
If he's not you.
He can't help it, if he's not you.
Originally recorded by Loggins & Messina
People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one
And we've just begun, I think I'm gonna have a son
He will be like you and me, as free as a dove
Conceived in love, the sun is gonna shine above
Chorus
And even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything bring a chain of love
And in the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right
Love a guy who holds the world in a paper cup
Drink it up, love him and he'll bring you luck
And if ya find he helps your mind
better take him ho-ome
Yeah 'n' don'tcha live alone
try to earn what lovers own
I'll always remember the song they were playin'
The first time we danced and I knew
As we swayed to the music and held to each other
I fell in love with you
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner then every night?
When we're together it feels so right
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
I'll always remember that magic moment
When I held you close to me
As we moved together, I knew forever
You're all I'll ever need
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together it feels so right
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together it feels so right
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
Soft as the voice of an angel
Breathing a lesson unheard
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers a comforting word
Wait till the darkness is over
Wait till the tempest is done
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow
After the shower is gone
Whispering hope
Oh, how welcome, thy voice
Making my heart
In its sorrow rejoice
If in the dusk of the twilight
Dimmed be the region afar
Willn't deepening darkness
Brighten the glimmering star
Then when the night is upon us
Why should the heart sink away?
When the dark midnight is over
Watch for the breaking of day
Whispering hope,
Oh, how welcome, thy voice
Making my heart
In its sorrow rejoice
Whispering hope,
Oh, how welcome, thy voice
Making my heart
I've been throwing horseshoes
Over my left shoulder
I've spent most all my life
Searching for that four-leafed clover
Yet you ran with me,
Chasing my rainbows
And honey I love you, too
that's the way love goes.
That's the way love goes, babe
That's the music God made
For all the world to sing
Its never old; it grows
Losing makes me sorry
well now, "Honey, don't worry."
dont u kno i love u too
that's the way love goes.
thats the way love goes babe
thats the music god made
for all the world to sing
it's never old it grows
losin makes me sorry
you say, honey i dont worry
i love you too
The lights In the harbor
Don't shine for me
I'm like a lost ship adrift on the sea
Sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine I wish you were mine
Again my dear
I am on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
How did I lose you
Oh where did I fail
Why did you leave me
Always to sail
Sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine I wish you were mine
Again my dear
I am on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
Oh what I'd give to sail back to shore
Back to your arms once more
Come to my rescue
Come here to me
Take me and keep me
Away from the sea
Sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine I wish you were mine
Again my dear
I am on this sea of tears
Just one look and I fell so hard
In love with you, oh-oh, oh-oh
I found out how good it feels
To have your love, oh-oh, oh-oh
Say you will, will be mine
Forever and always, oh-oh, oh-oh
Just one look and I knew
That you were my only one
Oh oh-oh oh
I thought I was dreamin' but I was wrong, oh yeah, yeah
Ah, but I'm gonna keep on schemin'
Till I can make you, make you my own
So you see, I really care
Without you, I'm nothin', oh-oh, oh-oh
Just one look and I know
I'll get you someday, oh-oh, oh-oh
Just one look, that's all it took, hey
Just one look, that's all it took, well
Just one look, that's all it was, baby
(Just one look, that's all it took)
You know I love you, baby
(Just one look, that's all it took)
I built my world around you
C'mon, baby
It only hurts for a little while
That's what they tell me
That's what they say
It only hurts for a little while
Then all your heartaches will pass away
It's so easy to be smart
With somebody else's heart
But I don't know how to start forgetting you
What can I do
It only hurts for a little while
That's what they tell me
Just wait and see
But I will hurt till you come back to me
It's so easy to be smart
With somebody else's heart
But I don't know how to start forgetting you
What can I do
It only hurts for a little while
That's what they tell me
Just wait and see
The chimes of time ring out the news
Another day is through
Someone slipped and fell
Was that someone you?
You may have longed for added strength
Your courage to renew
Do not be disheartened
For I have news for you
It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others He will do for you
With arms wide open He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do
There is no night for in His light
You'll never walk alone
Always feel at home
Wherever you may roam
There is no power can conquer you
While God is on your side
Take Him at His promise
Don't run away and hide
It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others He will do for you
With arms wide open He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do
You give your hand to me
Then you say hello
I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me
No, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Oh I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
'Cause you don't know me
I never knew
The art of making love
Though my heart aches
With love for you
Afraid and shy
I've let my chance to go by
The chance that you might
Love me, too
You give your hand to me
And then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
You'll never never know
The one who loves you so
Well, you don't know me
You give your hand to me, baby
Then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
No, no, you'll never ever know
The one who loves you so
[00:14.09]See the pyramids along the Nile
[00:21.55]Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
[00:27.12]Just remember, darling, all the while
[00:34.64]You belong to me
[00:40.01]See the marketplace in old Algiers
[00:47.45]Send me photographs and souvenirs
[00:54.10]Just remember when a dream appears
[01:00.59]You belong to me
[01:06.62]I'll be so alone without you
[01:20.95]Maybe you'll be lonesome too and blue
[01:33.14]Fly the ocean in a silver plane
[01:40.58]See the jungle when it's wet with rain
[01:47.12]Just remember 'til you're home again
[01:54.58]You belong to me
[02:01.09]I'll be so alone without you
[02:13.34]Maybe you'll be lonesome too and blue
[02:27.33]Fly the ocean in a silver plane
[02:34.79]See the jungle when it's wet with rain
[02:40.22]Just remember 'til you're home again
Don't it make life just a little more special knowin' you've got someone who cares
You won't ever have to be lonely always have somebody there
Don't it make everything a little bit easier knowin' you have someone like me
A hand to take you to the light when it gets a little bit too dark to see
That's when I like to stop and remind you
You've got me to hold on to baby oh you've got me to hold on to
Yes and don't it make every chance worth taking even when you try and fail
Don't it make all the pain worth aching look around and find somebody there
Oh don't it make everything a little bit easier
I've got you I've got you
High and low happy or sad you know I'm gonna be right there
Sharin' your smiles dryin' your eyes anytime and anywhere
Cause you've got me to hold on to oh you've got me to hold on to baby
I cried a tear
You wiped it dry
I was confused
You cleared my mind
I sold my soul
You bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me
Chorus
You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me
You needed me
And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave
I'd be a fool
'Cause I've finally found someone
who really cares
You held my hand
When it was cold
When I was lost
You took me home
You gave me hope
When I was at the end
And turned my lies
Back into truth again
You even called me friend
Chorus
You needed me
So many nights I’d sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark, but you’ve come along
And you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with sun
Rolling at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finally I’m turning for home
Finally a chance to say, hey, I love you
Never again to be all alone
Cos you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with sun
Cos you, you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with sun
It can’t be wrong when it feels so right
The other night dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my ConnorBear away
(Chorus)
So let the sun shine in
Face it with a grin
Smilers never loose
And Frowners never win
So let the sun shine in
Face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in
My mommy told me something
That little girls should know
It's all about the devil
And I've learned to hate him so
I know he'll be unhappy
?Cause I'll never wear a frown
Maybe if we keep on smiling
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
Bright blessed day, dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin', "How do you do?"
They're really sayin', "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
We three kings of orient are,
bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
following yonder star.
Oh, star of wonder, star of night,
star with royal beauty bright.
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide with thy perfect light.
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown him again
King for ever, ceasing never
over us all to reign. .....
Frankincense to offer have I, incense owns a Deity nigh
Pray'r and praising, all men raising,
Now the hacienda's dark
The town is sleeping
Now the time has come to part
The time for weeping
Vaya con dios, my darling
Vaya con dios, my love
Now the village mission bells are softly ringing
If you listen with your heart
You'll hear them singing
Vaya con dios, my darling
Vaya con dios, my love
Wherever you may be, I'll be beside you
Although you're many million dreams away
Each night I'll say a pray'r
A pray'r to guide you
To hasten every lonely hour
Of every lonely day
Now the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow
But the memories we share are there to borrow
Vaya con dios, my darling
Vaya con dios, my love
[Musical Interlude]
Vaya con dios, my darling
Time, don't run out on me
Gotta make you love me the way you used to do
Gotta get back the feeling and put wind in my sails
And chart a course that gets me back to you, back to you
Oh, the lonely days, the lonely nights lookin' back in time
Time, don't run out on me
Gotta get back to where we used to be
(Where we used to be)
Time, don't run out on me, don't run out on me
There's one more thing I gotta do before I pack it in
Gotta make the right moves
Say the right thing to change your mind
And find a way to get you back again, back again
All the wasted time, the lonely nights lookin' back in time
Time, don't run out on me
I've gotta get back to where we used to be
(Where we used to be)
Time, don't run out on me
Once I could catch your eye across the room
And know just what you were thinkin'
And when I held you in my arms, we'd dream as one
But those days are gone, somethin' went wrong
And when I wake up to the mornin' sun
I find myself sayin'
Time, don't run out on me
Don't run out on me, don't run out on me
Time, don't run out on me
Time, don't run out on me
Gotta get back to where we used to be
(Where we used to be)
Time, don't run out on me
Time, don't run out on me
(Time, don't run out on me)
Time, don't run out on me
(Time, don't run out on me)
Time, don't run out on me
(Time, don't run out on me)
Time, don't run out on me
(Time, don't run out on me)
Our Father
Which art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth
As it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
And the power
Did you say (that) I've got a lot to learn, well don't think I'm
trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn, teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it, getting right down to the XYZ of
Help me solve the mystery of it, teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you, a nd if a shooting star
goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you", a thousand times
across the sky
One thing isn't very clear my love, teachers shouldn't stand so
near my love
Graduation's almost here my love, you'd better teach me
tonight
I've played loves scenes in a flick or two, and I've also met a
chick or two
But I still can learn a trick or two, hey teach me tonight
I who thought I knew the score of it, kind of think I should
know much more of it
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it, hey teach me tonight
The midnight hours come slowly creeping when there's no one
there but you
There must be more to life than sleeping single in a bed for
What I need most is post graduate, what I feel is hard to
articulate
If you want me to matriculate, you'd better teach me tonight
What do you get for lessons, teach me - come on and teach me -
Hey, hey hey baby!
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey hey baby!
I want to know if you'll be my girl
When I saw you walking down the street
I said that's a kind of girl I'd like to meet
She's so pretty, Lord she's fine
I'm gonna make her mine, all mine
Hey, hey hey baby!
I want to know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away
Thats when I want to say
C'mon baby, give me a whirl
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey hey baby!
I want to know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away
Thats when I want to say
C'mon baby, give me a whirl
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey hey baby!
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey hey hey hey, baby
Two little kids
Watching the skies
One of them says:
"I wonder why
All of the stars
Are shining so bright
When there wasn't a star last night.
I've often wondered: What is a star?"
The other says, "Here's what they are:
Stars are the windows of heaven where angels peep through.
Up in the sky they keep an eye
On kids like me and you.
They cry each time we are naughty;
Their teardrops are the rain.
But when we're good they are smiling
And they shine again.
Stars are the windows of heaven where angels peep through."
(Instrumental)
They cry each time we are naughty;
Their teardrops are the rain.
But when we're good they are smiling
And they shine again. My mom says:
Celtic Woman, Anne Murray
Out on the Mira one warm afternoon,
Old men go fishing with black line and spoon
And if they catch nothing they never complain,
I wish I was with them again.
As boys in their boats call to girls on the shore,
Teasing the one that they really adore,
And into the evening the courting begins,
I wish I was with them again.
Can you imagine a piece of the universe
more fit for princes and kings?
I'll give you ten of your cities
for Marion bridge and the pleasure it brings
Out on the Mira on soft summer nights
Bonfires blaze to the children's delight
They dance round the flames singing songs with their friends;
I wish I was with them again.
And over the ashes the stories are told
Of witches and werewolves and Oak Island gold
The stars on the river they sparkle and spin;
I wish I was with them again.
Can you imagine a piece of the universe
more fit for princes and kings?
I'll give you ten of your cities
for Marion bridge and the pleasure it brings
Out on the Mira the people are kind,
They'll treat you to home-brew and help you unwind.
And if you come broken they'll see that you mend
I wish I was with them again.
And thus I conclude with a wish you go well,
Sweet be your dreams, may your happiness swell,
I'll leave you here, for my journey begins,
I'm going to be with them, going to be with them,
know that someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody else
You'll expect me to be true and to keep on loving you
Though I'm feeling blue
You'd think I can't forget you.
Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm strong for somebody new
And though you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't, won't want you.
(Orchestral Break)
Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm strong for somebody new
Although you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
Railroad station, midnight trains
Lonely airports in the rain
And somebody stands there
With tears in their eyes
It's the same old scene, time after time
That's the trouble with all mankind
Somebody's always saying goodbye
Taxi cabs leave in the night
Greyhound buses with red tail lights
Someone's leaving and someone's left behind
Well, I don't know how things got that way
But every place you look these days
Somebody's always saying goodbye
Take two people like me and you
We could have made it, we just quit too soon
Oh, the two of us, we could have had it all
If we'd only tried
But that's the way love is, it seems
Just when you've got a real good thing
Somebody's always saying goodbye
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portals, He's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh, sinner come home
Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading?
Pleading for you and for me
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies?
Mercies for you and for me
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh, sinner come home
Oh, for that wonderful love He has promised
Promised for you and for me
Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh, sinner come home
Beneath its snowy mantle cold and cleanThe unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to greenThe snowbird sings the song he always singsAnd speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
When I was young, my heart was young, then tooAnd anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would doBut now I feel such emptiness withinFor the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win
Spread your tiny wings and fly awayAnd take the snow back with you where it came from on that dayThe one I love forever is untrueAnd if I could, you know that I would fly away with you
The breeze along the river seems to sayThat he'll only break my heart again should I decide to staySo, little snowbird, take me with you when you goTo that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
Well, I never felt more like singin' the blues
'cause I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear, why'd you do me this way?
Well, I never felt more like cryin' all night
'cause everythin's wrong, and nothin' ain't right
Without you, you got me singin' the blues.
The moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothin' left for me to do
But cry-y-y-y over you (cry over you)
Well, I never felt more like runnin' away
But why should I go 'cause I couldn't stay
Without you, you got me singin' the blues.
Well, I never felt more like singin' the blues
'cause I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear, why'd you do me this way?
Well, I never felt more like cryin' all night
'cause everythin's wrong, and nothin' ain't right
Without you, you got me singin' the blues.
Oh, the moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothin' left for me to do
But cry-y-y-y over you (cry over you)
Well, I never felt more like runnin' away
But why should I go 'cause I couldn't stay
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you she'll have to go.
Whisper to me, tell me do you love me true
Or is she holding you the way I do
Though love is blind make up your mind I've got to know
Should I hang up or will you tell her she'll have to go.
You can't say the words I want to hear
While you're with another friend
Do you want me to answer, yes or no
Darling, I will understand.
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
If I could be any tree in the ground
I'd wanna be a tree where the birds hang around
'Cause everybody needs to be loved
And I'm no exception, I was born to reject rejection
If only for today
Send a little love my way
Every day begins with hope
No one ever need despair
Hand in hand, we all can cope each of us
Alone is only half a pair, we've got to share
If I could be any star up above
I'd wanna be a star people wish on for love
'Cause everybody needs to be loved
And I'm no exception, I was born to reject rejection
If only for today
Show me that you want me
Show me that you need me
Send a little love my way
If I could be any star up above
I'd wanna be a star people wish on for love
'Cause everybody needs to be loved
And I'm no exception, I was born to reject rejection
If only for today
Show me that you want me
Show me that you need me
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows
all of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
they never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games
then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
then how the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee (yippee)
"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
you'll go down in history."

Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day
There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
Frosty the Snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Frosty the Snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said let's run
And we'll have some fun
Now before I melt away
Down to the village
With a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there all around the square
Saying catch me if you can
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler stop
Frosty the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye
Saying don't you cry
I'll be back again some day
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
The sun is out, the sky is blue
There's not a cloud,that spoils the view
But it's raining, raining in my heart
The weatherman says, "Clear Today"
He doesn't know it's gone away
But it's raining, raining in my heart
Oh, misery, misery, what's gonna become of me?
I tell my blues, they mustn't show
But soon these tears, they're bound to flow
'Cause it's raining, raining in my heart
And it's raining, raining in my heart
And it's raining, raining in my heart
Oh, misery, misery, what's gonna become of me?
I tell my blues, they mustn't show
But soon these tears, they're bound to flow
'Cause it's raining, raining in my heart
Raining in my heart
Throught each life time - run rivers to cross
What if there's no life line and you're sinking or lost
Just believe in your direction
Let your heart explore
Cause you can't reach new horizons
Standing on the shore
There are mountains - we need to climb
But the mountains standing in the way are only in our minds
And the risk of all
So just listen to the voice that says
I'll catch you if you fall
On the other side of doubt is faith
On the other side of pain lies strength
The journey may seem endless
And You know the road is rough
But on the other side of fear is love
For such a long time I put my dreams aside
The tides of change felt dangerous
The mountains seemed too high
But my dreams were slowly fading
As time went quickly by
So I held me breath with every step
Never knowing I would find
On the other side of doubt is faith
On the other side of pain lies strength
The journey may seem endless
And You know the road is rough
But on the other side of fear is love
On the other side of doubt is faith
On the other side of pain lies strength
The journey may seem endless
And You know the road is rough
Well, I'm tired and so weary, but I must go along
'Til the Lord comes and calls, calls me away
Where the morning's so bright, and the Lamb is the light
And the night, night is as black as the sea
There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, Lord, I pray
There will be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me
Well, the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lie down by the lamb
And the beasts from the wild shall be led by a child
And I'll be changed from this creature that I am
There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, Lord, I pray
There will be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering 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
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world
Has a wondrous attraction for me
For the dear lamb of God left his glory above
To bear it to dark calvary
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
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
I will cling to the old rugged cross
Flying down the street on my American Ace
I was fast on my feet or flat on my face,
Testing my freedom from that day on
Runnin' down the wind all the way back home
That bike you gave me was one of my favorite things
That day I discovered you'd given me roots and wings.
Chorus:
Roots and wings, gifts of love
Holding me strong and lifting me up
Child of the earth and a rider of the wind
A dreamer of dreams caught in between roots and wings.
You weren't standing in my way when I was 18
Letting your heart break and letting me leave
I was headin' my Chevy for the great unknown
Knowing you'd be waiting at the end of that road
Sometimes you've doubted the wisdom of my foolish dreams
You never once denied me my roots and wings.
Chorus:
Roots and wings, gifts of love
Holding me strong and lifting me up
Child of the earth and a rider of the wind
A dreamer of dreams caught in between roots and wings.
Now part of me wants to stay close to the ground
And part of me wants to never come down.
Chorus:
Roots and wings, gifts of love
Holding me strong and lifting me up
Child of the earth and a rider of the wind
Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm just a fool for staying home and having none
I can't get over how she set set me free oh lonesome me
A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see oh lonesome me
I'll bet she's not like me she's out and fancy free
She's flirtin' with the boys with all her charms
But I still love her so and brother don't you know
I'd welcome her right back here in my arms
Well there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z oh lonesome me
[ ac.guitar ]
I'll bet she's not like me she's out and fancy free
She's flirtin' with the boys with all her charms
But I still love her so and brother don't you know
I'd welcome her right back here in my arms
Well there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z oh lonesome me
Oh, little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
Oh, morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth
O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels!
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
Sing, alleluia,
All ye choirs of angels;
O sing, all ye blissful ones of heav'n above.
Glory to God -
In the highest glory!
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesus, to Thee be the glory giv'n;
Word of the Father,
Now in the flesh appearing,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels playing near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
Peace on the Earth could will two men
From Heaven's all-gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
And I hear them singing
Sing, I do hear them singing
The first noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay, they keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King
Born is the King
A catfish he tends to groove on the water
It's just where he's bound to be
And a monkey kinds of flashes on fruits and bananas
So he lives in the top of a tree
But my eyes are made for darkness
And so the nighttime is right for me
Said I'm a night owl, honey
Sleep all day long
Now most folks they like the good day time
They like to see the shining sun
They're up in the morning
Off and running
'Till they're too tired for having fun
But when the sun goes down
And them bright light shine
My daytime has just begun
I'm a night owl, honey
Sleep all day long
Said turn off that bright light, baby
You're just about to drive me blind
Draw them curtains for me, mama
You watch and you'll see
How my love light shines
Now, there's two sides to this
Great big world
And one of them is always night
Hey, if you can take care of
Business in the sunshine, baby
I guess you're gonna be alright
But don't come looking for string bean
To lend you a hand
Because my eyes they can't stand the light
No, I'm a night owl, honey
Sleep all, sleep all day long
I said sleep all day long
Nearer, my God to Thee, nearer to Thee
Even though it be a cross that raiseth me
Still all my song shall be nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee
Though like the wanderer the sun gone down
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone
Yet in my dreams I'll be nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee
Or if on joyful wing, cleaving the sky
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee
(January to December)
(We'll have moments to remember)
The New Year's Eve we did the town
The day we tore the goal post down
We will have these moments to remember
The quiet walks, the noisy fun
The ballroom prize we almost won
We will have these moments to remember
Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years
When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember
(The drive in movie where we'd go)
(And somehow never watched the show)
We will have these moments to remember
Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years
When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Waitin' for the train
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
Rode us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
And was playing soft
While Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin' time
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feelin' good was easy, Lord,
When he sang the blues
And feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
From Kentucky coal mines
To the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, Lord
Through everything I done
Bobby baby kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord
I let him slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope he'll find it
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows
For one single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' left is all that Bobby left me
Feelin good was easy, Lord
When he sang the blues
And buddy, that was good enough for me
Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulders
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away
Do you remember when you loved me
Before the world took me ...
Well if you do, then forgive me
And make the world go away
Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulders
Say the things we used to say
And make the world, make it go away
I’m sorry if I hurt you
I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to
And make the world go away
Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulders
Say the things we used to say
And make the world go away
Say the things you used to say
I was standing by the bedside of a neighbor
Who was bound to cross Jordan's swelling tide
And I asked him if he would do me a favor
And kindly take this message to the other side
If you see my Savior tell Him that you saw me
Ah, and when you saw me I was on my way
When you reach that golden city think about me
And don't forget to tell the Savior what I said
Though you have to make this journey on without me
Oh, that's a debt that sooner or later must be paid
Well, you may see some old friends who may ask about me
If you could see me now
The one who said that she'd rather roam
The one who said she'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now
If I could hold you now
Just for a moment, if I could really make you mine
Just for a while, turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now
-CHORUS-
Ive been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for
The freedom of my chains
And lying in your loving arms again
If you could hear me now
Singing somewhere through the lonely nights
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
If you could only hear me now
-Repeat CHORUS-
There's no need to lie
Without me half trying, I could love you
It shows in your eyes
That you feel the same way I do
But wherever I go, my conscience goes
What more can I say
It's only desire, not yet a fire
Let's keep it that way
'Cause I don't want to have to tell him a lie
When I get back home
'Cause it would tear apart his fairy tale world
If I did him wrong
And lying to him would hurt me more
Than leaving you this way
So before we forget, we're not cheaters yet
Let's keep it that way
Let's finish this wine
'Cause I'm not thinking too clearly tonight
And the touch of your hand
Makes it so hard for me to tell wrong from right
He waits at home, he's there alone
And though I'd like to stay
Before I give in, let's call it just friends
And keep it that way
'Cause I don't want to have to tell him a lie
When I get back home
'Cause it would tear apart his fairy tale world
If I did him wrong
And lying to him would hurt me more
Than leaving you this way
So before we forget, we're not cheaters yet
Let's keep it that way
'Cause I don't want to have to tell him a lie
When I get back home
'Cause it would tear apart his fairy tale world
Anne Murray & Vince Gill
I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you let it be me
Don’t take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever let it be me
Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you’ll love me only
And that you’ll always let it be me
Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you’ll love me only
Whenever I'm in times of trouble
Mama always come to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be, let it be
And in my hour of darkness, she is
Standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes.
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly, with his song.
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on.
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly.
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there.
But he was there a stranger
Singing clear and loud
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Born to be with you
By your side
Satisfied
Through and through
Cause I was born
To be with you
Wondrously
Love can see
So I knew
That I was born
To be with you
Do I find
Peace of mind
Yes, I do
Cause I was born
To be with you
All life through
Yes, I was born
I'm strong, I'm sure, I'm in control
a lady with a plan
Believing that life is a neat little package
I hold in my hand
I've got it together, they call me
"the girl who knows just what to say and do"
Still I fumble and fall, run into the wall,
'cause when it comes to you, I'm
Chorus
Just another woman in love, a kid out of school
A fire out of control, just another fool
You touch me and I'm weak, I'm a feather in the wind
And I can't wait to feel you touching me again
With you I'm just another woman
just another woman in love
So pardon me if I should stare
and tremble like a child
That "wanting you" look all over your face
is driving me wild
I'm just what you make me
can't wait 'till you take me
and set all my feelin's free
I know that you can, so come be my man
tonight I wanna be
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.
Chorus 1:
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Chorus 2:
Take my hand Lord Jesus take my hand
Take my hand Lord Jesus take my hand
There's a race to be run
There's a victory to be won
Every hour give me power to go free.
When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me will be no more
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Chorus 1 & 2 overlapping
; Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Through the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Cho: jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, o
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago
I thought Id take a ride
And soon miss fanny bright
Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot,
We ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot.
A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as
I there sprawling laid
But quickly drove away.
Now the ground is white,
Go it while youre young,
Take the girls along
And sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed bay,
Two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me.
I don't wanna kiss or hold your hand
If it's funny, try and understand
There is really nothing else I'd rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you.
I don't need to hug or hold you tight
I just wanna dance with you all night
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you.
Just to dance with you
Is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me.
If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you.
Just to dance with you
Is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me.
If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
I've discovered I'm in love with you.
What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.
What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia.
After you do, he'll never phone you.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.
Don't tell me what is all about,
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out,
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You get enough tears to fill an ocean
That's what you get for your devotion.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow.
So, for at least until tomorrow,
I'll never fall in love again!
Close your eyes, close the door
You don't have to worry any more
I'll be your, baby tonight.
Shut the light, shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
I'll be your, baby tonight.
Well, that mockingbird's gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it
You won't regret it.
Kick your shoes off, do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your, baby tonight.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, that mockingbird's gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it
You won't regret it.
Kick your shoes off, do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your, baby tonight.
The stars are so close we could touch them
The light is soft and still
The world has stopped turning outside our door
Your kiss is all that's real
And it's just like the first time when I touch you
I wonder who's kissing him now?
I wonder who's showing him how?
I wonder who's looking into his eyes,
Breathing sighs and telling lies?
I wonder who's buying the wine,
For lips that I used to call mine?
I wonder if he ever tells her of me?
I wonder who's kissing him now?
I wonder who's buying the wine,
For lips that I used to call mine?
I wonder if he ever tells her of me?
How many arms have held you
And hated to let you go
How many, how many, I wonder
But I really don't want to know
How many lips have kissed you
And set your soul aglow
How many, how many, I wonder
But I really don't want to know
So always make me wonder
Always make me guess
And even if I ask you
Darlin' don't confess
Just let it remain your secret
But darlin' I love you so
No wonder, no wonder I wonder
I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget, pretend we've never met
And I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by, and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me, too, the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
(I fall to pieces)
Each time someone speaks your name
(I fall to pieces)
Time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too, the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Dreams of yesterday)
Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Those happy hours)
Those happy hours
(That we once knew)
That we once knew
(Tho' long ago)
Tho' long ago
(Still make me blue)
Still ma-a-a-ake me blue
(They say that time)
They say that time
(Heals a broken heart)
Heals a broken heart
(But time has stood still)
Time has stood still
(Since we've been apart)
Since we've been apart
(I can't stop loving you)
I said I made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(Sing a song, children)
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday
There's a natural wonder between us
But it doesn't seem natural to me
That you can walk away from the love we made
Here in Tennessee
And leave everything that we worked for
To start a brand new life
I saw you drive across the Memphis bridge
But I don't believe my eyes
Oh, I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi
I can see a big river barge headin' down to new Orleans
I can see the cotton fields on the other side
And the sun going down again
Oh, I can see Arkansas
But I still don't see
Why the love we had should end
If it proved how much I love you
I'd swim this ol' river tonight
I'd bet my soul against the undertow
For the chance to hold you tight
But there's more than a river between us
And I can't swim that far
And as hard as I try I just can't drown
The memories of where you are
Oh, I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi
I can see a big river barge headin' down to new Orleans
I can see the cotton fields on the other side
And the sun going down again
Oh, I can see Arkansas
But I still don't see
They ask me how I feel and if my love is real
And how I know I'll make it through
And they, they look at me and frown, they'd like to drive me from this town
They don't want me around 'cause I believe in you
They show me to the door, they say don't come back no more
'Cause I won't be like they'd like me to
And I walk out on my own, a thousand miles from home
But I don't feel alone 'cause I believe in you
I believe in you even through the tears and the laughter
I believe in you even though we are apart
I believe in you even on the morning after
Oh, when the dawn is nearing, oh, when the night is disappearing
Oh, this feeling is still here in my heart
Don't let me drift too far, keep me where you are
Where I will always be renewed
And that which you've given me today is worth more than I could pay
And no matter what they say, I believe in you
I believe in you when winter turn to summer
I believe in you when white turn to black
I believe in you even though I be outnumbered
Oh, though the earth may shake me, oh, though my friends forsake me
Oh, even that couldn't make me go back
Don't let me change my heart, keep me set apart
From all the plans they do pursue
And I, I don't mind the pain, don't mind the driving rain
I've been lyin' here thinkin' over old times
Old friends of yours, old friends of mine
At least half of those parts have been broken in two
Sometimes love just ain't strong enough
Some give in and some give up and it started me thinkin'
What would I do without you. Oh, hold me in your sweet lovin' arms
Take me to where it's safe and warm
Hold me, just a little longer tonight.
People take love for a foolish thing
Some tear it down, some give it wings
And I'd like to think
That we could fly away, yeah.
You always have, say you always will
Stand by me baby, till the world stands still
Say you will, say it tonight
Say you will.
Woh, hold me in your sweet lovin' arms
Take me to where it's safe and warm
Hold me, just a little longer tonight.
Mmm, hold me in your sweet lovin' arms
Take me to where it's safe and warm
Hold me, just a little longer tonight.
Hold me (say that you will)
Just a little longer tonight.
Hold me (do it tonight)
A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A song of love is a song of woe
Don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad song
For I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
Tomorrow I'll probably love again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo.
A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A song of love is a song of woe
Don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad song
For I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
Refrain:
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.
While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light.
Refrain:
The shepherds feared and trembled,
When lo! above the earth,
Rang out the angels chorus
That hailed the Savior's birth.
Refrain:
And lo! When they had heard it,
They all bowed down to pray,
Then travelled on together,
To where the Baby lay.
Refrain:
Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn.
Refrain:
I too am like a shepherd,
My flock of days to guard,
Each day finds time for praying,
From this I won't retard.
Don't look so sad;
I know its over;
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning.
Lets just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that were bur.....ning.
Chorus:
Lay your head upon my pillow,
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times.
Ill get along; you'll find another;
And Ill be here if you should find you ever need me.
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever.
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me.
Chorus:
I'll walk in the rain by your side
I'll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand
I'll do anything to help you understand
I'll love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me
Little birds will sing along in time
The leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime.
I'll be there when you're feeling down
To kiss away the tears if you cry
I'll share with you all the happiness I've found
A reflection of the love in your eyes.
And the wind will whisper your name to me
Little birds will sing along in time
The leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime.
And the wind will whisper your name to me
Anytime you're feelin' lonely
Anytime you're feelin' blue
Anytime you feel downhearted
That will prove your love for me is true
Anytime you"re thinkin' about me
That's the time I'll be thinkin' of you
So anytime you say you want me back again
That's the time I'll come runnin' back to you
Anytime you're feelin' lonely
Anytime you're feelin' blue
Anytime you feel downhearted
That will prove your love for me is true
Anytime you're thinkin' about me
That's the time I'll be thinkin' of you
So anytime you say you want me back again
I hear footsteps slowly walkin',
As they gently walk across a lonely floor.
And a voice is softly sayin',
"Darling, this will be goodbye forever more."
There goes my reason for livin'.
There goes the one of my dreams.
There goes my only possesion.
There goes my everything.
As my mem'ry turns back the pages,
I can see the happy years we had before.
Now the love that kept this ol' heart beatin',
Has been shattered by the closin' of the door.
There goes my reason for livin'.
There goes the one of my dreams.
There goes my only possesion.
There goes my everything.
--- Instrumental ---
There goes my reason for livin'.
There goes the one of my dreams.
There goes my only possesion.
There goes my everything.
There goes my only possesion.
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world,
`cause you don't love me anymore?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love.
I wake up in the morning and I wonder why ev'rything's the same as it was.
I can't understand, no I can't understand, how life goes on the way it does!
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
If I could ease your pain, if I could lighten your load
If I could make it just a little bit better for you
If I could just help you find that secret place in your mind
Where the light of understanding love outshines the sun
You know that sweet moonshine is not just illegal whiskey
It can also be the light that guides you
Through the shadows of fear when the devil is near
And you need some kind of helpin' hand to carry you through
I know you've been livin' in a downhill raid
You're seein' your death on a military plane
You better hold now, you can't take no more now
No doubt about it when you find out about it
You're gonna wanna run and tell all your friends about it
Easy, it's so easy
If I could ease your pain, if I could lighten your load
If I could make it just a little bit better for you
If I could just help you find that secret place in your mind
Where the light of understanding love outshines the sun
I know you've been livin' in a downhill raid
You're seein' your death on a military plane
You better hold now, you can't take no more now
No doubt about it when you find out about it
You're gonna wanna run and tell all your friends about it
Easy, it's so easy
If I could ease your pain, if I could lighten your load
If I could make it just a little bit better for you
If I could just help you find that secret place in your mind
Where the light of understanding love
Light of understanding love outshines the sun
Ease your pain, if I could lighten your load
If I could make it just a little bit better for you
If I could just help you find that secret place in your mind
Where the light of understanding love outshines the sun
If I could ease your pain, if I could lighten your load
If I could make it just a little bit better for you
If I could just help you find that secret place in your mind
That candy color clown they call the Sandman
Tip toes to my room, every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
Go to sleep, everything will be alright
Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
Someone to hold in my arms
And feel the magic of their charms
Because I want someone
To call my own
I wanna dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, where are you?
With a love, oh, so true
And the hand that I can hold
To feel you near as I grow old
Because I want someone
To call my own
I wanna dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Someday, I don't know how
I hope you'll hear my plea
Someway, I don't know how
You'll bring your love to me
In dreams, in dreams
My love lies all in dreams
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and I'll dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till my lover's dreams come true
Because I want someone
To call my own
I wanna dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
I wanna dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
No, I wanna dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
I wanna dream lover
I love you
you love her
there's nothing I can do
it was in my destiny to fall for you
You say you
could never give
me a love that's true
it was in my destiny to fall for you
and there ain't a thing I can do about it
you know I can't live without it
all I can say is hey hey hey
I love you
You say why
don't I try
to find someone new
it was in my destiny to fall for you
to fall for you
think I'm falling for you
da da da da da da da
there ain't a thing I can do about it
you know I can't live without it
all I can say is hey hey hey
Got a good reason for
Taking the easy way out
Got a good reason for
Taking the easy way out
He was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to
Find out, and i found out
He's a big teaser
He took me half the way there
He's a big teaser
He took me half the way there
He was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to
Find out, and i found out
Tried to please him
He only played one night stands
Tried to please him
He only played one night stands
He was a day tripper
Sunday driver, yeah
It took me so long to
Find out, and i found out
Day tripper
One way ticket to ride
I found out
Day tripper
One way ticket to ride
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you.
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do.
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you.

Well, just to prove you do.
Come on and cry me a river

I cried a river over you.
I know I said I never wanted to see you again,
feel you again, need you again,
But here I am, ready to try once more.
Even after all the others swore they were mine, left me behind, I'm still trying to find,
One good love that could even the score.
So come on love, try me one more time.
Give me one more chance to find the one that I've been looking for.
Come on love, won't you deal me one more hand, let me play the game again.
Come on love, it's time to try me one more time
This time it took a little longer for my heart to heal
Longer to see that I could believe in you enough to try again
Even after all the evils you put me through
I still find myself coming back to you
Here I am, this time I'm ready to win
So come on love,try me one more time.
Give me one more chance to find the one that I've been looking for.
Come on love, won't you deal me one more hand, let me play the game again.
Although you see the world
Different from me,
Sometimes I can touch upon
The wonders that you see.
All the new colors
And pictures you've designed.
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine,
Child of mine,
Child of mine,
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine.
You don't need directions,
You know which way to go
And I don't want to hold you back,
I just want to watch you grow.
You're the one who taught me
You don't have to look behind.
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine,
Child of mine,
Child of mine,
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine.
Nobody's gonna kill your dreams
Or tell you how to live your life.
There'll always be people to make it hard for a while
But you'll change their heads when they see you smile.
The times you were born in
May not have been the best,
But you can make the times to come
Better than the rest,
I know you will be honest
If you can't always be kind,
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine,
Child of mine,
Child of mine,
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine.
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine,
Child of mine,
Child of mine,
Oh, yes sweet darling,
Wise men say, only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay, would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Bye bye, love.
Bye bye, happiness.
Hello, loneliness.
I think I'm a-gonna cry-y.
Bye bye, love.
Bye bye, sweet caress.
Hello, emptiness.
I feel like I could di-ie.
Bye bye, my love, goodby-ye.
There goes my baby
With-a someone new.
She sure looks happy.
I sure am blue.
She was my baby
'Til he stepped in.
Goodbye to romance
That might have been.
Bye bye, love.
Bye bye, happiness.
Hello, loneliness.

The stars above
And here's reason
That I'm so free:
My lovin' baby
Is a-through with me.
Bye bye, love.
Bye bye, happiness.

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. when times get rough
And friends just cant be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
Ill take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Sail on silver girl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams
are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
It's been a blue, blue day
I feel like runnin' away
I feel like runnin' away from it all
My love has been untrue
She's found somebody new
It's been a blue, blue day for me
I feel like cryin', dying'
What can I do
Fell like praying', sayin'
I'm glad we're through
It's been a blue, blue day
I feel like runnin' away
I feel like runnin' away from the blues
I cannot make believe
That I don't sit and grieve
It's been a blue, blue day for me
I can't pretend and say
That I don't love her anyway
It's been a blue, blue day for me
I feel like cryin', dying'
What can I do
Fell like praying', sayin'
I'm glad we're through
It's been a blue, blue day
I feel like runnin' away
I told her to leave me alone
That's what she's done
Just what she's done
And a house built for two, ain't a home
When it's lived in by one, one lonely one
And I can no longer hear footsteps
Come right down the hall
Here come the teardrops
Bitter they are, harder they fall
She caught me lying
Then she caught a train
And I caught a fever
Walking home in the rain, oh yeah
But it's over and I'm done
She left me once and for all
Here come the teardrops
Bitter they are, harder they fall
Here come the teardrops
A chilling wind blows through the town
Autumn leaves seem gladly falling down
And I believe you'll be glad to see me go
Just when it was beginning to feel like home
Baby I'm so alone for another
What's the matter with me? Or should I ask
You're changing your mind, like the weather you've grown cold
You've got to get up every morning With a smile in your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
The people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That you're beatiful as you feel
Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing
I've got nothing to do but watch the passers-by
Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing
And they don't see it showing, why do I?
You've got to get up every morning With a smile in your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
The people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That you're beatiful as you feel
I have often asked myself for reason for sadness
In a world where tears are just a lullabye
If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness
Maybe not, oh, but we can only try
You've got to get up every morning With a smile in your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
The people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
Are you lonesome tonight
Do you miss me tonight
Are you sorry
We drifted apart
Does your memory stray
To a bright summer day
When I kissed you
And called you sweetheart
Do the chairs in your parlor
Seem empty and bare
Do you gaze at your doorstep
And picture me there
Is your heart filled with pain
Shall I come back again
Tell me dear
Are you lonesome tonight
Do the chairs in your parlor
Seem empty and bare
Do you gaze at your doorstep
And picture me there
Is your heart filled with pain
Shall I come back again
Tell me dear
Are you lonesome tonight
Is your heart filled with pain
Shall I come back again
Tell me dear
The nights have been so lonely since you went away
I could not get to sleep, try as I may
But now you're back and you're here to stay
Still it looks like another sleepless night
Oh but darlin', that's alright
Just as long as you are holdin' me tight
Makin' love till the early morning light
Only whets our appetite
This will be another sleepless night
Hold me, while the moon shines
In through the window let your love flow
Hold me, we can orchestrate
Love's scenario with the radio
And it looks like another sleepless night
Oh but darlin', that's alright
Just as long as you are holdin' me tight
Hold me, while the moon shines
In through the window let your love flow
Hold me, we can orchestrate
Love's scenario with the radio
And it looks like another sleepless night
Oh but darlin', that's alright
Just as long as you are holdin' me tight
Makin' love till the early morning light
Only whets our appetite
Put on another pot o' tea
'Cause I'm in love with the Irish accent to your story
And I need someone to help me
Well, they say that now you don't talk straight
And of late it's been my lot to be afraid
To remember you by anything
But memories I already keep
Put another pot o' tea
'Cause I'm love with the Irish accent to your story
And now I need some sympathy
It's harder when it takes so long to leave
The table where we all learned to laugh and learned to grieve
Over the pain that came so close to you
It comes so close to me today
So, put another pot o' tea
'Cause I'm in love with the Irish accent to your story
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as well as I should have
If I made you feel second best
Boy, I am sorry, I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
And maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
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
I’ll keep you satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
All the time
Yes darling, all the time
(Ooh-ooh) Tenderly, constantly
I love you (I-I love you)
Love you every day
I'll prove it every day
(Ooh-ooh) In happiness, or loneliness
I love you (I love you), lo-ove you
Other arms my tempt me
Don't let it worry you
'Cause even if they tempt me
I'll never be untrue
All the time
Yes darling, all the time
(Ooh-ooh) Through the years
Smiles and tears
I love you (I love you), lo-ove you
Other arms my tempt me
Don't let it worry you
'Cause even though they tempt me
I'll never be untrue
All the time
Yes darling, all the time
(Ooh-ooh) Through the years
Smiles and tears
I love you-ou...
All of me
Why not take all of me?
Can't you see
I'm no good without you?
Take my arms
I want to lose them
Take my lips
I'll never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear, without you?
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me?
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear without you?
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me?
You took the part that once was my heart
Look how the light in the morning lies
Please say no more, I see it's time
10 thousand tears 'til I dry my eyes
A million more is what you're hoping for
Or is it love what you had in mind.
Follow the song of the Summer sun
Wander with me where you go
10 thousand dreams, I know every one
A million more is what I'm hoping for
Or is it love what we live to know.
Where were you when you were young
Did you hide beside whoever tried to please you
Where were you when you were young
Did you have eyes just to ignore me
Or were you looking for me
And tell me.
How long before you believe me
The Summer sun still loves the rain
10 thousand times you may leave me
A million more is what I'm hoping
Or doesn't love bring you home again.
A million more is what I'm hoping for
There's a wren in a willow wood
Flies so high and sings so good
And he brings to you
What he sings to you
Like my brother, the wren and I
Well, he told me, if I try, I could fly for you
And I wanna try for you 'cause
I wanna sing you a love song
I wanna rock you in my arms all night long
I wanna get to know you
I wanna show you the peaceful feelin' of my home
Summer thunder on moon-bright days
Northern lights and skies ablaze
And I bring to you
Lover, when I sing to you
Silver wings in a fiery sky
Show the trail of my love and
I wanna sing to you
Love is what I bring to you
And I wanna sing to you, oh
I wanna sing you a love song
I wanna rock you in my arms all night long
I wanna get to know you
I wanna show you the peaceful feelin' of my home
I wanna sing you a love song
I wanna rock you in my arms all night long
I wanna get to know you
I wanna show you the peaceful feelin' of my home
I wanna show you the peaceful feelin' of my home
Never felt like this until I kissed ya
How did I exist until I kissed ya
Never had you on my mind
Now you’re there all the time
Never knew what I missed til I kissed ya, uh-huh
I kissed ya, oh yeah
Things have really changed since I kissed ya, uh-huh
My life’s not the same now that I kissed ya, oh yeah
Mmm, ya got a way about ya
Now I can’t live without ya
Never knew what I missed til I kissed ya, uh-huh
I kissed ya, oh yeah
CHORUS
You don’t realize what you do to me
And I didn’t realize what a kiss could be
Mmm, ya got a way about ya
Now I can’t live without ya
Never knew what I missed til I kissed ya, uh-huh
I kissed ya, oh yeah
Repeat CHORUS
FADE
I kissed ya, uh-huh
Every morning when I get up
I see your face in my coffee cup
Looking back at me, looking back at me
Another morning, another day
And still I’m feeling the same old way
I’m still missing you, missing you
It should have been easy
It should have been easy
It should have been oh so easy to do
But I’m still getting over you
I keep seeing old friends of mine
They all smile and they say in time
I’ll get over you, I’ll be good as new
I guess somehow some day I will
I’ll forget you, I know, but still
It’ll take some time, it’ll take some time
It should have been easy
It should have been easy
It should have been oh so easy to do
But I’m still getting over you
It should have been easy
It should have been easy
It should have been oh so easy to do
Just a kiss at the end of an evening
When the lights are turned down low
One kiss leads to another
Someone whispers, "Darling, don't go"
Heaven is here, can't you see?
These are the things love is made of
And will always be
It's late but there's no thought of leavin'
For tomorrow seems so far away
The night you found courage to tell him
Things you found out to tell him today
Heaven is here, can't you see?
These are the things love is made of
And will always be
As you leave down the hallway, you're whistling
Some strange melody you never knew
And it won't leave your head
As you climb into bed, no matter what you do
Heaven is here, can't you see?
These are the things love is made of
And will always be
These are the things love is made of
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
It was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
When youre down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
And you know whereever I am
Ill come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Youve got a friend.
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, aint it good to know that youve got a friend?
People can be so cold.
Theyll hurt you and desert you.
Well theyll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but dont you let them.
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Oh babe, dont you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,

You don't drive a big fast car
And you don't look like a movie star

To satisfy

You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

The nicest one would be with you
And you'd be here with me
Don't you ever get lonely
Lord, I'm no good when you're away
But what do you expect from a girl
Who loves you like I love you
Won't you ever just get tired
And come on home to me
Don't you ever get lonely
You're a part of me
That I can't do without
You're a part of me
That dreams are all about
But you can't hold on to
Something that you've never had before
Love waits for the wind
To bring you back again and take you away
Friends say, "It's great", now you're a star
But what do they expect from a girl
Who loves you just the way you were
And late at night, I wish things had never changed
And you were here with me
Don't you ever get lonely
You're a part of me
That I can't do without
You're a part of me
That dreams are all about
But you can't hold on to
Something that you've never had before
Love waits for the wind
To bring you back again and take you away
Take you away
Honey, I love you
Take me away
'Cause honey, I love you
When I call you up, your line's engaged
I have had enough, so act your age
We have lost the time that was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind if you won't see me
You won't see me
I don't know why you should want to hide
But I can't get through, my hands are tied
I won't want to stay, I don't have much to say
And I can turn away if you won't see me
You won't see me, you won't see me
Time after time, you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missin'
Though the days are few, they're filled with tears
And since I lost you, it feels like years
Yes, it seems so long, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on, if you won't see me
You won't see me, you won't see me
Time after time, you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missin'
Though the days are few, they're filled with tears
And since I lost you, it feels like years
Yes, it seems so long, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on, if you won't see me
Oh, I'm lovin' what I see
Each time you smile at me
I love the look
Of what you're thinking
I know how it feels to fly
I'm glowin' like the sky
That's on fire
As the sun is sinking
Oh, you set my dreams to music
As you spend the whole night
Making them come true
And in my whole life
I have never had a dream
As sweet as you
No one else I ever knew
Could touch me quite like you
Or say as much
Without a word
Now love, I'm hoping you can see
The song inside of me
That holds more love
Than any song you've heard now
Oh, you set my dreams to music
As you spend the whole night
Making them come true
And in my who-ole life
I have never had a dream
As sweet as you
In my whole life
I have never had a dream
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, ''Are you married?'' We'll say, ''No man.
But you can do the job when you're in town.
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kiddies knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland,
When I fall in love it will be forever or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I?ll fall in love with you
When I give my heart it will be completely or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
I've been looking at people
And how they change with the times
And lately all I've been seeing are people
Throwing love away and losing their minds
Or maybe it's me that's gone crazy
'Cause I can't understand why
All these people keep hurting each other
When good love is so hard to come by
So what's the glory in living
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for
I've been listening to people
And they say love is the key
It's not my way to let them lead me astray
It's only that I want to believe
But I see love-hungry people
Trying their best to survive
While in their hands is a dying romance
And they're not even trying to keep it alive
So what's the glory in living
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for
And if love never lasts forever
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Helps to make the season bright, yeah
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Well, if words won?t do it
And words are just a waste of time
We could get right to it
If I could only read your mind
You?re just a mystery to me
Deeper than the deep blue sea
There must be something that could melt your heart
Baby, tell me just where to start
What would it take to get you closer
What would it take just to stir your soul
What can I do to make you love me
Just the thought of you keeps me lying away
Tell me what would it take
If the night don?t move it
Then you?ve never seen the stars come out
If the touch don?t soothe him
Then maybe you?ve just never been touched
But I wanna be the one to change your mind
I think about it all the time
Still waters they run deep
I wanna wake you from your deepest sleep
What would it take to get you closer
What would it take just to stir your soul
What can I do to make you love me
Just the thought of you keeps me lying away
Tell me what would it take
You?re just a mystery to me
Deeper than the deep blue sea
There must be something that will melt your heart
Baby, tell me just where to start
What would it take to get you closer
What would it take just to stir your soul
What can I do to make you love me
What would it take just to stir your soul
What can I do to make you love me
Just the thought of you keeps me lying away
Tell me what would it take
Hey, tell me what would it take
Tell me what would it take, tell me, tell me
Tell me what would it take
Yeah, tell me what would it take, tell me, tell me, oh yeah
Hey, hey, hey, what about me?
I've got some feelings on my mind, too
Hey, hey, hey, what about me?
I'd like to have a song to sing, too
Please let me in when you're singin' your song
And I'll just sit quiet, I won't try to sing along
You've got the warmest place that I've ever found
Please let me in and I won't make a sound
Hey, hey, hey, what about me?
I've got some feelings on my mind, too
Hey, hey, hey, what about me?
I'd like to have a song to sing, too
But don't you ask me to give you a song
I won't know the words to use, I won't know where they belong
But if you give me one of yours I will make it my own
And it would be the sweetest song that I have ever known
Hey, hey, hey, what about me?
I've got some feelings on my mind, too
Hey, hey, hey, what about me?
I'd like to have a song to sing, too
We all pull the load
We all pull the load
We gotta get up early in the morning
'Cause we all pull the load
Well, you can find you a world full of bother
And talking to your good neighbor
'Cause he ain't interested in favors
No, in the road that he's gotta hold
Oh well, the world outside is vicious
'Cause life's been canning his hopes and wishes
But still he's got ambition, yeah
In the life that he wants to own
We all pull the load
We all pull the load
We gotta get up early in the morning
'Cause we all pull the load
Preacher shouts out the answer
The congregation looks for the problem
Every man born has got 'em
But he just wants to go home
Moses said to Jesus
Go ahead and walk on water
We'll do like we ought to Lord
And sit back in the row
We all pull the load
We all pull the load
We gotta get up early in the morning
'Cause we all pull the load
God's got time to look down
There's plenty of him to go around
He's gotta have a place to sit down
So save a little room in your soul
We all pull the load
We all pull the load
We gotta get up early in the morning
'Cause we all pull the load
We all pull the load
We all pull the load
We gotta get up early in the morning
'Cause we all pull the load
We all pull the load
We all pull the load
We gotta get up early in the morning
Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, "It's twilight time"
When purple colored curtains mark the end of day
I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time
Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments, darling, 'til you're here with me
Together, at last, at twilight time
Here, in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here, in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark, your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day, I pray for evening just to be with you
Together, at last, at twilight time
Here, in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here, in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again, as I did then
Deep in the dark, your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day, I pray for evening just to be with you
Together, at last, at twilight time
Christmas is coming, I can tell by the smiles
I remember the snowflakes that fell from the sky
And covered the village that lay sleeping below
Thank goodness this season will never grow old
I look through my window well into the night
Watching and waiting and hoping I might
See one little reindeer fly through the snow
Thank goodness this season will never grow old
Christmas is coming, may joy fill your home
And the spirit be with you wherever you go
Christmas is coming, may joy fill your home
And the spirit be with you wherever you go
Trees with full branches were the first ones to go
I remember the children who came to the door
And sang out the carols we all used to know
Thank goodness this season will never grow old
All round the fire, the warmth of the flame
Tip-toeing softly trying not to awake
The ones who lie waiting for good things you know
Thank goodness this season will never grow old
Christmas is coming, may joy fill your home
And the spirit be with you wherever you go
Christmas is coming, may joy fill your home
It's been a while
How have you been
It's really good you know
To see you again
You'd think by now
Those old feelings had died
But it only takes
Just one look in your eyes
And it's all I can do
To talk about the weather
To keep myself together
When I'm fallin' apart
And it's all I can do
To smile and say I'm fine
When I'm really losin' my mind
It's all I can do
(All I can do)
To keep this heart from
Just breaking in two
To see the lips
I used to kiss
Doesn't make it easy
To just stand here like this
I get to thinkin'
I'm doin' all right
Then I see the arms
That once held me so tight
And it's all I can do
To talk about the weather
To keep myself together
When I'm fallin' apart
And it's all I can do
To smile and say I'm fine
When I'm really losin' my mind
It's all I can do
(All I can do)
It's all I can do
To keep this heart from
You've long been on the open road you've been sleepin' in the rain
From dirty words and muddy cells your clothes are soiled and stained
But the dirty words and the mud of cells will soon be judged insane
So only stop and rest yourself and you'll be off again
Oh take off your thirsty boots
And stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh
And maybe I can try
Lookin' for the evenin'
And the mornin' in your eyes
Then tell me of the ones you saw
As far as you could see
Across the plains from field to town
Marchin' to be free
And of the rusted prison gates that tumble by degree
Like laughing children one by one
They look like you and me
So take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try
Just lookin' for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes
I know you are no stranger down the crooked rainbow trial
From dancing cliff edge shattered sills to slander shackled jails
Where the voices drift up from below as walls are bein' scaled
Yes all of this and more my friend your song shall not be failed
Oh take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary, from a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh, and maybe I can try
Just lookin for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes
So take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try
Ever since that first night
When I gave my love to you
Everything just seems so right
You are my sunlight shining through
And I've tried so not to let it show
Yet it seems sad because I know
Chorus
No matter how hard I try
No matter how hard I try
It's always a goodbye
You smile softly as you leave my bed
And I tightly hold your hand
You lean down to kiss my head
But there's nothing to be said
And if you say you want to stay
I'd know you'd soon be on your way
Chorus
No matter how hard we try
No matter how hard we try
It's always a goodbye
Repeat Chorus
So here we stand, you and I
You are too kind, I'm too shy
To say what we really mean
So we make life a masquerade
Never showing all, only the parts we play
I hear footsteps slowly walkin',
As they gently walk across the lonely floor.
And a voice is softly sayin',
"Darling, this will be goodbye forever more."
There goes my reason for livin'.
There goes the one of my dreams.
There goes my only possesion.
There goes my everything.
As my mem'ry turns back the pages,
I can see the happy years we had before.
Now the love that kept this ol' heart beatin',
Has been shattered by the closin' of the door.
There goes my reason for livin'.
There goes the one of my dreams.
There goes my only possesion.
There goes my everything.
--- Instrumental ---
There goes my reason for livin'.
There goes the one of my dreams.
There goes my only possesion.
There goes my everything.
There goes my only possesion.
Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
In a lonely shack by a railroad track
I spent my younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward bound
Made me a slave to my wand'ring ways
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
Oh I met a girl in a border town
I vowed we'd never part
Tho' I tried my best to settle down
She's now alone with a broken heart
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
On a hill far away,
Stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame.
And I loved that old cross,
With the dearest and best,
for a world of lost sinners were slain.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross.
Til my trophies at last I lay down.
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown.
Oh that old rugged cross,
So despised by the world,
Has a wonderous attraction for me.
For the dear lamb of God,
Left his glory above,
to bare it to dark Calvary.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross.
Til my trophies at last I lay down.
I will cling to the old rugged cross.
And exchange it someday for a crown.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross.
Til my trophies at last I lay down.
I will cling to the old rugged cross.
And exchange it someday for a crown.
I will cling to the old rugged cross.
It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning
In your hand, In your hand
As we walk, all my thoughts are a-tumblin'
'Round and 'round, 'round and 'round
Underneath our feet the subway's rumblin'
Underground, underground
You've got reasons a plenty for goin
This I know, this I know
For the weeds have been steadily growin
Please don't go, please don't go
As I lie in my bed in the morning
Without you, without you
Each song in my breast dies a-borning
Oh there won't be no stars
Coming out in the sky
Tonight when my baby walks by
They know that they can't hold a ca-andle
To the look in his eye
I know that I'm not
The wisest of all
But I guess mine's the luck of a fool
I found all the gold that I-I'll ever need
In looking at you
Quand je vois ton vi-isage
Dans n'importe quel la-a-angage
Je dit je t'ai-aime
Je dit je t'aime
Je t'aime mon Mari
And when your time comes for cards
With the other old men
And I'm thinkin' 'bout what I've been through
I'll know that my life was impor-ortant
When I think of you
Quand je vois ton vi-isage
Dans n'importe quel la-a-angage
Je dit je t'ai-aime
Je dit je t'aime
Je t'aime mon Mari
When the old people look out their windows
I know they'll be happy to see
From the smile in our eyes
Real love hasn't died
In Pari'
Quand je vois ton vi-isage
Dans n'importe quel la-a-angage
Je dit je t'ai-aime
Je dit je t'aime
Je t'aime mon Mari
Quand je vois ton vi-isage
Dans n'importe quel la-a-angage
Je dit je t'ai-aime
Je dit je t'aime
When you have to look away
When you don't have much to say
That's when I love you
I love you just that way.
To here you stumble when you speak
Or see you walk with two left feet
That's when I love you, I love you endlessly
And when your mad cause you lost the game
Forget I'm waiting in the rain
Baby, I love you, I love you anyway.
'Cause here's my promise made tonight
You can count on me for life
'Cause that's when I love you
When nothing you do can change my mind
The more I learn the more I love
The more my heart can't get enough
That's when I love you,
When I love you no matter what.
So when you turn to hide your eyes
'Cause the movie, it made you cry
That's when I love you, I love you
A little more each time
And when you can't quite match you clothes
Or when you laugh at your own jokes
That's when I love you,
I love you more then you know
And when you forgot that we had a date
Or that look that you give when you show up late
Baby, I love you , I love you anyway.
So here's my promise made tonight
You can count on me for life
'Cause that's when I love you
When nothing you do can change my mind
The more I learn the more I love
The more my heart can't get enough
That's when I love you, when I love you no matter what.
Ohh, that's when I love you
When nothing baby, nothing you do could change my mind
The more I learn, the more I love,
The more my heart can't get enough
That's when I love you , when I love you no matter what.
I was dancing with my darlin'
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night
And the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
I remember the night
And the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing
If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better go in disguise!
For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain,
Because today's the day the
Teddy Bears have their picnic.
Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having
A lovely time today.
Watch them, catch them unawares,
And see them picnic on their holiday.
See them gaily dance about.
They love to play and shout,
They never have any care;
At six o'clock their Mommies and Daddies
Will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears
Ev'ry Teddy Bear who's been good
Is sure of a treat today.
There's lots of marvelous things to eat
And wonderful games to play.
Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
'Cause that's the way the
Teddy Bears have their picnic.
Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having
A lovely time today.

Will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears.
If you go down to the woods today,
You'd better not go alone!
It's lovely down in the woods today,
But safer to stay at home!
For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the
Teddy Bears have their picnic.

Take this heart, give it to a charity
Take this heart and give it to the poor
Take this heart and give it to the Salvation Army
I don't think I need it anymore
Dear God, I'm writing You these words
'Cause I know You'll understand
Dear Lord, I'm sending You this letter
'Cause I got to leave it in Your hands
Take this heart, give it to a charity
Take this heart and give it to the poor
Take this heart and give it to the Salvation Army
I don't think I need it anymore
My man, he said he had to leave
This time he said there was no doubt, no doubt about it
I wear my heart upon my sleeve
Now I guess, I've worn it out
Take this heart, give it to a charity
(Take this heart)
Take this heart and give it to the poor
(Take this heart, give it to the poor)
Take this heart and give it to the Salvation Army
I don't think I need it anymore

Take this heart, give it to a charity
(Take this heart)
Take this heart and give it to the poor

Take this heart and give it to the Salvation Army
I don't think I need it anymore

Take this heart and give it to a charity

Take this heart and give it to the Salvation Army
I don't think I need it anymore, anymore, anymore
(I don't think I need it, I don't think I need it)
I don't think I need it anymore
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Youre grow cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that use to be
If you love somebody new let me me find a new love too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Give my heart just a word of sympathy
Be as fair to my heart as you can be
Then if you no longer care for the love being there
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Youre grow cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Sweet little Jesus boy
They made you be born in a manger
Sweet little holy child
We didn't know who you were
Didn't know you'd come to save us Lord
To take our sins away
Our eyes were blind, we could not see
We didn't know who you were
Long time ago
You were born
Born in a manger Lord
Sweet little Jesus boy
The world treats you mean Lord
Treats me mean too
But that's how things are down here
We don't know who you are
You have told us how
We are trying
Master you have shown us how
Even when you were dying
Just seems like we can't do right
Look how we treated you
But please Sir forgive us Lord
We didn't know it was you
Sweet little Jesus boy
Born a long time ago
Sweet little holy child
It's such a beautiful day that
The sky seems to say, "Good Morning"
Missed the dust off your shoes
Throw away ally our blues and start smiling
Take a good look around
There's no clouds looking down
Upon your way
So, won't you decide
To come back alive
It's a new day
Sunday sunrise shining
Through my windowpane
Chasing away my cares
With all the pouring rain
Sunday sunrise
Unfolding like a smile
Making me feel just like
A newborn baby child
Well, I'm feeling so good
I keep knocking on wood
I'm not grieving
I hear birds everywhere
Singing songs in the air
With a meaning
Saying it's time to wake up
Get a whole new outlook
From your view
Come on out
Where it's warm
It won't do any harm
If you want to
Sunday sunrise shining
Through my windowpane
Chasing away my cares
With all the pouring rain
Sunday sunrise
Unfolding like a smile
Making me feel just like
A newborn baby child
Sunday sunrise shining
Through my windowpane
Chasing away my cares
With all the pouring rain
Sunday sunrise
Unfolding like a smile
Making me feel just like
There was a child named Bernadette
I heard the story long ago
She saw the queen of heaven once
And kept the vision in her soul
No one believed what she had seen
No one believed what she heard
That there were sorrows to be healed
And mercy, mercy in this world
So many hearts I find
Broke like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
I just wanna hold you
Come on, let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do
We've been around, we fall, we fly
We mostly fall, we mostly run
And every now and then we try
To mend the damage that we've done
Tonight, tonight, I just can't rest
I've got this joy here, here inside my breast
To think that I did not forget
That child, that song of Bernadette
So many hearts I find
Hearts like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
Well, I just wanna hold you
Come on, let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do
I just wanna hold you
Won't you let me hold you
And his love will be his vision,
And he'll take you where you stand.
And will you stand your life by his,
And help the boy become a man?
Will he be the son of his father?
His father, the teacher?
Teachin' love and honesty,
An' bein' his own manhandler.
Or the son of,
The son of a run of the mill,
Run rotten gambler?
Will the devil be getting to you,
As you look back over what you've done?
And what you've done: was it for reason or for rhyme?
Was it just for fun?
Will he be the son of his father?
His father, the teacher?
Teachin' love and honesty,
An' bein' his own manhandler.
Or the son of,
The son of a run of the mill,
Run rotten gambler?
Back on the road now, you can lose your head.
There ain't no kingdom for the gamblin' man.
You know the road now and you've made your stand.
When his eyes shine upon you, shine upon you.
Will he be the son of his father?
His father, the teacher?
Teachin' love and honesty,
An' bein' his own manhandler.
Or the son of,
The son of a run of the mill,
Run rotten gambler?
Will he be the son of his father?
His father, the teacher?
Or the son of a rotten gambler?
Son of a rotten gambler?
Son of a rotten gambler?
Son of a rotten gambler?
Son of a rotten gambler?
The son of a rotten gambler?
When the rooms are all in darkness
And you're knockin' at the door
No one seems to live here anymore
Footsteps in the doorway
Echos in the hall
You know someone's waiting here for you
When it's cold outside your window
And there's snow inside your shoes
And you're waiting out the cold December blues
Don't hesitate
Three o'clock's not late
You know someone's waiting here for you
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting here for-or you
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting
You know someone's waiting here for you
When the grey clouds roll all over
All your sunny days
And the colour's that surround you fade away
Look to your side
Reach out your hand
'Cause you know someone's waiting here for you
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting here for-or you
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting
You know someone's waiting here for you
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting here for-or you
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There's a feeling of Christmas.
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear.
Silver bells, (silver bells)
Silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, (ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day.
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle
You'll hear.
Silver bells, (silver bells)
Silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, (ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day.
You can dance
Ev'ry dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye
Let him hold you tight
You can smile
Ev'ry smile for the man who held your hand
'Neath the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, mmmm
Oh, I know (oh, I know)
That the music's fine
Like sparkling wine
Go and have your fun
Laugh and sing
But while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, mmmm
Baby, don't you know
I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never, never let you go
I love you oh, so much
You can dance (you can dance)
Go and carry on
'Til the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks if you're all alone
Can he take you home you must tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arm's you're gonna be
So, darlin', save the last dance for me
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arm's your gonna be
So, darlin', save the last dance for me, mmmm
Save the last dance for me, mmmm-hummmm
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee
My momma taught me how to pray
Before I reached the age of seven
When I'm down on my knees
That's when I'm closest to heaven
Daddy lived his life, two kids and a wife
Well you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes
To get me through, oh yeh!
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee
Oh yeh!
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee
Oh yeh!
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee
Oh yeh!
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
Over you, I guess I never will be over you
I have tried but it's so hard to do
I'm surrounded by the memories
No, I never will be over you
Time goes by and I'm still holding on
Waiting for the day when you come home
If you ever change your mind again
I will greet you like a long lost friend
In my heart we've never reached the end
And I never will be over you
I will love you 'til the end of time
Even though I know that you're not mine
Just as long as there's a chance that I
Guess I never will be over you
Life's like walking down a lonely street
I see you in everyone I meet
How I long to see your smiling face
Oh, my love for you I can't erase
No one else could ever take your place
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Someday, I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh, why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh, why can't I?
Through each life time, run rivers to cross
But what if there's no lifeline and you're sinking or lost
Just believe in your direction, and let your heart explore
'Cause you can't reach new horizons standing on the shore
And there are mountains, we need to climb
But the mountains standing in our way are only in our minds
And the risk of going nowhere is the greatest risk of all
So just listen to the voice that says, 'I'll catch you if you fall'
On the other side of doubt is faith
On the other side of pain lies strength
The journey may seem endless when you know the road is rough
But on the other side of fear is love
For such a long time, I put my dreams aside
The tides of change felt dangerous, the mountains seemed too high
But my dreams were slowly fading as time went quickly by
So I took a breath with every step never knowing I would find
On the other side of doubt is faith
On the other side of pain lies strength
The journey may seem endless when you know the road is rough
But on the other side of fear is love
On the other side of doubt is faith
On the other side of pain lies strength
The journey may seem endless when you know the road is rough
And on the other side of fear is love
Up until now I've learned to live without love (She leads a good life)
Like a ship without a sail, wandering aimlessly lost (She got to know why)
I never knew how it felt to lose my control
Now that I've found you (now that I've found you), this is all so new
You and me, we've got a destiny
Starting tonight, we'll be together
You and me, this is what love should be
And it's gonna be right, now and forever
Darlin', inside your eyes I can see mysteries there
And you're melting the ice surrounding me, I'm no longer scared
I feel you inside my soul and I'm captured tonight
But don't let go, this is paradise
You and me, we've got a destiny
Starting tonight we'll be together
You and me, this is what love should be
And it's gonna be right, if you tell me
There's a heaven up above, then that's what I'll believe
'cause you're the one thing that I'm so sure of
I feel you inside my soul and I'm captive tonight
But don't let go (I won't let go), this is paradise
You and me, we've got a destiny
Starting tonight we'll be together
You and me, this is what love should be
And it's gonna be right, now and forever
You and me, we've got a destiny
Starting tonight we'll be together
You and me, this is what love should be
And it's gonna be right
Like a candle burnin' bright
Love is glowing in your eyes
A flame to light our way
That burns brighter every day
Now I have you
Nobody loves me like you do
Like a leaf upon the wind
I could find no place to land
I dreamed the hours away
And wondered every day
Do dreams come true?
Nobody loves me like you do
What if I never met you?
Where would I be right now?
Funny how life just falls
In place somehow
You touched my heart in places
That I never even knew
Nobody loves me like you do
I was words without a tune
I was a song still unsung
A poem with no rhyme
A dancer out of time
But now there's you
Nobody loves me like you do
What if I never met you?
Where would I be right now?
Funny how life just falls
In place somehow
You touched my heart in places
That I never even knew
Nobody loves me, nobody loves me
Nobody loves me like you do
Hush, little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mocking bird
And if that mocking bird don't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And If that diamond ring is brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named rover
And if that dog named rover don't bark,
Papa's gonna buy a horse and cart
And that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest baby in town
Sleep child and when you do
Dream a dream to drift you through
The night that lingers through the day
Tonight, dreams of you
I'll sing this lullaby for you
Sleep child, for dreams always come true.
Lullaby and goodnight,
May sleep softly surround you
while your dreams fill your eyes
With a melody of love
May the moonlight embrace you
The starlight caress you
May the sunlight still sing you
This lullaby of love
Lord, I hope this day is good
I?m feelin' empty like You knew I would
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
But Lord, I hope this day is good
Lord, have You forgotten me?
I?ve been praying to You faithfully
I'm not saying I've done all I can
But Lord, I know You'll understand
I don?t need fortune and I don?t need fame
Send down the thunder, Lord, send down the rain
But when You?re planning just how it will be
Plan a good day for me
Lord, I hope this day is good
I?m feelin' empty like You knew I would
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
But Lord, I hope this day is good
You?ve been the King since the dawn of time
All that I?m askin? is a little less crime
It might be hard for the devil to do
But it would be easy for You
Lord, I hope this day is good
I?m feelin' empty like You knew I would
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
But Lord, I hope this day is good
(Dawn Langstroth)
Every life has a plan
Though sometimes the map is out of our hands
Every day is a step
Though we may not know the reason just yet
When your faith fails
When your dreams sleep
Learn to let go, and just let it be
CHORUS:
Let there be love
Let there be light
Let there be hope in the dark of the night
For every heart that's lying in wait
Let there be love
Let there be love
You are strong
You are brave
Though I couldn't even count all the way
There's a time to be still
Let the river carry you where it will
When your faith fails
When your dreams sleep
Learn to let go
Just let it be
CHORUS
Bridge:
It's a long, hard road to travel
Yes, I know what it's like when you lose your way
When the best laid plans unravel
That's when you've got to believe
Sometimes there are lives
We all have pain we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long till I'm gonna meet
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have faith you need to borrow
For no one can feel those of your needs
That you won't let show
Just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long till I'm gonna meet
Somebody to lean on
Just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the root and I'll share your load
If you just call me
Call me if you need me
Call me when you want me
Call me if you need me
Call me when you want me
I've never held love so closely
Never knew one touch so well
I never dreamed love could really
Bring me to heaven from hell
I've run miles in the rain
Faced the nights with no end
I finally found my way through
Fate has been cheated
All that I needed
Was just to feel this love from you
Just to feel this love from you
I've never seen life so clearly
Never fear one step I take
My dreams live on past the morning
Oh what a difference you make
I'm sure God only knows
Where I'd be without you
I finally found my way through
Fate has been cheated
All that I needed
Was just to feel this love from you
It's been hard to believe
Love was in reach
Forevers fell before
Each other's needs
God only knows where I'd be without you
I finally found my way through
Fate has been cheated
All that I needed
Was just to feel this love from you
I can't believe that you're honestly thinking of leaving me
Cause I thought that leaving really wasn't even on your mind
I'm drowning in tears drowning constantly nearer to misery
Just bidin' my time while the glow from the wine makes a fool of me
Over and over I practice every day
What to say when I see you but when I see you my tears get in the way
I spend my nights making up things I might have to say to you
To stop you from going yet keep you from knowing how I feel
But till the light says goodbye to the night and your face I see
I'll just be bidin' my time while the glow from the wine makes a fool of me
Over and over I practice every day
What to say when I see you but when I see you my tears
get in the way
I spend my nights making up things I might have to say
to you
To stop you from going yet keep you from knowing how I feel
But till the light says goodbye to the night and your face I see
I'll just be bidin' my time while the glow from the wine makes a fool of me
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
Soldiers of the cross.
Every rung goes higher and higher
Every rung goes higher and higher
Every rung goes higher, higher
Soldiers of the cross.
Do you think I made the soldier
Do you think I made the soldier
Do you think I made the soldier
Soldier of the cross.
Rise, shine, give God glory
Rise, shine, give God your glory
Rise, shine, give God your glory
Soldier of the cross.
Keep on climbing, we will make it
Keep on climbing, we will make it
Keep on climbing, we will make it
Soldier of the cross.
Children do you wanrt your freedom
Children do you wanrt your freedom
Children do you wanrt your freedom
Soldier of the cross.
You, I know you're everything
That I've been looking for
And I, I look into your eyes
And could not ask for more
So it's only fair to lay it on the line
Hold on, I'm gonna need a little time.
But if I ever fall in love again
Sometimes when this broken heart can mend
I know it's gonna be with you
You're the one to pull me through
Though I don't know when
If I ever fall in love again.
Scared, I guess I'm scared to fly
It's such a long way down
And yet, if you'd just trust in me
I'm sure, I'd come around
And I know when you're hurt
It's hard to let someone inside
In your arms I feel I'm ready now to try.
So if I ever fall in love again
Sometimes when this broken heart can mend
I know it's gonna be with you
You're the one to pull me through
Though I don't know when
If I ever fall in love again.
I'd be a fool to ever let you go
You're the best thing in my life
When I know I've gotta take it slow.
I know it's gonna be with you
You're the one to pull me through
Though I don't know when
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lot of kisses on the bottom, I'll be glad I got 'em
I'm gonna smile and say I hope you're feeling better
And sign with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
Gonna write words, oh, so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lot of kisses on the bottom, I'll be glad I got 'em
I'm gonna smile and say I hope you're feeling better
And sign with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
The chestnut tree, the wishing well
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the mornin' sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the mornin' sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
Standing by my window, listening for your car
Seems I really miss you after all
Time won’t let me keep these sad thoughts to myself
I’d just like to let you know, I wish I’d never let you go
And I’ll always love you
Deep inside this heart of mine
I do love you
I’ll always need you
And if you ever change your mind
I’ll still, I will, love you
Wish you’d never left me, but love’s a mystery
You can break your heart so easily
The days and the nights reveal how much I feel for you
The time has come for me to see how much your love has meant to me
And I’ll always love you
Deep inside this heart of mine
I do love you
I’ll always need you
And if you ever change your mind
I’ll still, I will, love you
Time, like a river, keeps on rolling right on by
Seems like nothing’s left for me
So I’ll just watch the river rise
I’ll always love you
Deep inside this heart of mine
I do love you
I’ll always need you
And if you ever change your mind
I’ll still, I will
I’ve never been scared of love before now
But I’ve never been this much in love
With you it happened so fast that I’m afraid it won’t last
And I don’t wanna lose what my dreams are made of
I don’t think I’m ready for you
There are too many heartaches I’ve already been through
But this feeling inside is getting harder to hide
Until I know that you feel it too
I don’t think I’m ready for you
Right on the edge of out of control
Trying hard not to let what’s in my heart show
One of your kisses, my will to resist is all gone
Cos I love you, but baby I know
I don’t think I’m ready for you
One heart on the line’s not enough, it takes two
And it wouldn’t take much
Just three words with that touch of yours
To tell me, but until you do
I don’t think I’m ready for you
And it wouldn’t take much
Just three words with that touch of yours
To tell me, but until you do
I don’t think I’m ready for you
Hey there
You with the stars in your eyes
Love's never made a fool of you
You used to be too wise.
Hey there
You on that high-flying cloud
Though she won't throw a crumb to you
You think someday she'll come to you.
Better forget her
Her with her nose in the air
She's got you dancing on a string
Break it and she won't care
Won't you take this advice
I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things too clear?
Are you too much in love to hear?
Is it all going in one ear
And out the other?
Won't you take this advice
I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things too clear?
Are you too much in love to hear?
Is it all going in one ear
And out the other?
Hey there! Hey there!
Hey daddy there's a dragon in the driveway,
Mamma there's a grizzly on the lawn.
You better come quick ‘cause there's a hippo in the bathtub
And it's going down the drain, oh no its gone!
Well the minds of little children, they go round and round and round.
Hearing giants footsteps when I never hear a sound.
Hey daddy there's a dragon in the driveway,
Mamma there's a grizzly on the lawn.
You better come quick ‘cause there's a hippo in the bathtub
And it's going down the drain, oh no its gone!
But you never know if they really saw all the things they have you believe,
But if there's dragons in this neighborhood then we're gonna leave.
Hey daddy there's a dragon in the driveway,
Mamma there's a grizzly on the lawn.
You better come quick because there's a hippo in the bathtub
And it's going down the drain, oh no its gone!
And it's going down the drain oh no its gone!
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide 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
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide 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
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
Love is but a song we sing
And fear's the way we die,
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry,
Tho' the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why.
C'mon people, now
Smile on your brother,
Ev'ry-body get together,
Try to love one another right now.
Some will come and some will go
And we shall surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moments sunlight
Fading in the grass.
C'mon people, now
Smile on your brother,
Every-body get together,
Try to love one another right now.
If you hear the song I sing
You will understand
You hold the key to love and fear
In your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both,
It's there at your command.
C'mon people, now
Smile on your brother,
Every-body get together,
Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows, it'll turn your head around
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain now
Na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around now
(words & music by John Davenport - Eddie Coole)
Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night.
Ev'rybody's got the fever
that is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night
Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said 'Julie, baby, you're my flame
Thou giv-est fever when we kisseth
Fever with the flaming youth
Fever I'm afire
Fever yea I burn for sooth'
Captain Smith and Pocahantas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said 'Daddy, o, don't you dare
He gives me fever with his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I'm his misses,
Oh daddy, won't you treat him right'
Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Cats were born to give chicks fever
Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade
They give you fever when you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
It might be you, it might be me
It might be only one to agree
But I could swear
It's getting colder in this room
We just don't seem to care to touch
We just don't want to share that much
But, darling, every fire needs something
To come soon
We've got to feed this fire
We've got to fan this flame
If this love burns out
We've got ourselves to blame
We've got to stoke these coal
Until they glow red hot
We've got to feed this fire
With everything we've got
Have you forgotten about the snow?
How hard that winter wind could blow?
Back when our cold and hungry hearts
Were on the street
So let us swear then, you and I
To never let this fire die
Until these hearts have turned to ashes
In the heat
We've got to feed this fire
We've got to fan this flame
If this love burns out
We've got ourselves to blame
We've got to stoke these coal
Until they glow red hot
We've got to feed this fire
With everything we've got
We've got to feed this fire
We've got to fan this flame
If this love burns out
We've got ourselves to blame
We've got to stoke these coal
Until they glow red hot
We've got to feed this fire
With everything we've got
We've got to feed this fire
I, I was the lonely one
Wondering what went wrong
Why love had gone
And left me lonely
I, I was so confused
Feeling like I’d just been used
Then you came to me
And my loneliness left me
I used to think I was tied to a heartache
At once the heartbreak, but now that I’ve found you
Even the nights are better
Now that we’re here together
Even the nights are better
Since I found you, whoa
Even the days are brighter
When someone you love’s beside ya
Even the nights are better
Since I found you
You, you knew just what to do
Cos you had been lonely too
And you showed me how
To ease the pain
And you did more than mend a broken heart
Cos now you’ve made a fire start
And I can see
That you feel the same way
I never dreamed there’d be someone to hold me
Until you told me and now that I’ve found you
Even the nights are better
Now that we’re here together
Even the nights are better
Since I found you, whoa
Even the days are brighter
When someone you love’s beside ya
Even the nights are better
Since I found you
Even the nights are better
Now that we’re here together
Even the nights are better
Since I found you, whoa
Even the days are brighter
When someone you love’s beside ya
Even the nights are better
The Jordan is waiting for me to cross through
My heart is aging I can tell
So Lord, I'm begging
For one last favor from You
Here's my heart take it where You will
This life has shown me how we're mended
And how we're torn
How it's okay to be lonely as long as you're free
Sometimes my ground was stoney
And sometimes covered up with thorns
And only You could make it what it had to be
And now that it's done
Well, if they dressed me like a pauper
Or if they dined me like a prince
If they lay me with my fathers
Or if my ashes scatter on the wind
I don't care
CHORUS:
But when I leave I want to go out like Elijah
With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire
And when I look back on the stars
Well, It'll be like a candlelight in Central Park
And it won't break my heart to say goodbye
There's people been friendly
But they'd never be your friends
Sometimes this has bent me to the ground
Now that this is all ending
I want to hear some music once again
'Cause it's the finest thing I have ever found
But the Jordan is waiting
Though I ain't never seen the other side
They say you can't take in
The things you have here
So on the road to salvation
I stick out my thumb and He gives me a ride
And His music is already falling on my ears
There's people been talking
They say they're worried about my soul
Well, I'm here to tell you I'll keep rocking
'Til I'm sure it's my time to roll
And when I do
Said the night wind to the little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star,
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite,
With a tail as big as a kite.
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song,
High above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea,
With a voice as big as the sea.
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
A child, a child,
Shivers in cold
Let us bring him silver and gold,
Let us bring him silver and gold.
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say.
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
There's a house on a hill
By a worn down weathered old mill
In a valley below where the river winds
There's no such thing as bad times
And a soft southern flame, oh Cotton Jenny's her name
And she wakes him up when the sun goes down
And the wheel of love goes round
Wheels of love go round, love go round
Love go round, a joyful sound
He ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go round
When the new day begins
He goes down to the cotton gin
And he makes his time worth while to then
Then he climbs back up again
And she waits by the door, oh Cotton Jenny, he's sore
And she rubs his feet while the sun goes down
And the wheel of love goes round
Wheels of love go round, love go round
Love go round, a joyful sound
He ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go round
Wheels of love go round, love go round
Love go round, a joyful sound
He ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go round
Wheels go round
Wheels go round
Love go round
Love go round
The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home.
It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau
While cuddling under the mistletoe
And Santa Claus you know, of course
Is one of the boys from home.
The door is always open
The neighbors pay a call
And Father John before he's gone
Will bless the house and all.
How grand it feels
To click your heels
And join in the fun
Of the jigs and reels.
I'm handing you no blarney
The likes you've never known
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home...
The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home.
It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau
While cuddling under the mistletoe
And Santa Claus you know, of course
Is one of the boys from home.
The door is always open
The neighbors pay a call
And Father John before he's gone
Will bless the house and all.
How grand it feels
To click your heels
And join in the fun
Of the jigs and reels.
I'm handing you no blarney
The likes you've never known
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home...
Is Christmas in Killarney
Every now and then I cry
Every night, you keep stayin' on my mind
All my friends say I'll survive
It just takes time
CHORUS
But I don't think time is gonna heal this broken heart
No I don't see how it can if it's broken all apart
A million miracles could never stop the pain
Or put all the pieces together again
No I don't think time is gonna heal this broken heart
No I don't see how it can while we are still apart
And when you hear this song
I hope that you will see
That time won't heal a broken-hearted me
Every day is just the same
Playin' games, different lovers, different names
They keep sayin' I'll survive
It just takes time
CHORUS
Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only hide the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I might have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's clouds' illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
When every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave them laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now
From win and lose, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you, right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
But now all my friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, and something's gained
In living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
Little Baby born in Bethlehem
Yes, He was, yes, He was
Little Baby born in Bethlehem
Oh, yes, He was
Well, there's a little Baby born in Bethlehem
Born right next to a sheep and a lamb
Oh, oh, oh, oh born in Bethlehem
He was preaching in the temple
He was still a child yes, He was, yes, He was
He was preaching in the temple
He was still a child, oh, yes, He was
Well, He was preaching in the temple
He was still a child
Talking 'bout peace and mercy mild
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Peace and mercy mild
Well, He started in
A walking cross the land
Yes, He did, yes, He did
Started in walking cross the land
Oh, yes, He did
Well, He started in
A walking cross the land
Son of God turned into man
Oh, oh, oh, oh
God turned into man
He caused the blind to see
And the crippled to walk
Yes, He did, yes, He did
Caused the blind to see
And the crippled to walk
Oh, yes, He did
He caused the blind to see
And the crippled to walk
Just give my blessing
And a little small talk
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Blessing and a little small talk
Little Baby born in Bethlehem
Yes, He was, yes, He was
Little Baby born in Bethlehem
Oh, yes, He was
Well, there's a little Baby
Born in Bethlehem
Born right next to
A sheep and a lamb
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Born in Bethlehem
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I can be high as a bluebird flies if you'd love me
A mountain of love and the clear sky above me are all I'd see
Oceans and valleys and canyons and streams
So far below a river of dreams keeps haunting me
I could be high as a bluebird flies and never tell lies
When I look in your eyes, you're all that I see
I could be high, so high
High, so high
I could be strong as a river is long if you'd love me
Sweet harmony pouring all over me like a waterfall
I could be everything money can't buy
A rainbow at sunset, a tear in your eye when you are blue
I could be high as a bluebird flies and never tell lies
When I look in your eyes, you're all that I see
I could be high, so high
High, so high
You're an angel from heaven sent down from above
To answer my dreams and feel them with love, you're everything
I could be high as a bluebird flies and never tell lies
When I look in your eyes, you're all that I see
I could be high, so high,
High, so high
When I heard you playing
Now you stole my heart away
Now you don't even notice me
So I just have to say now
Blue Finger Lou
My woogie wants to boogie
With you
I know you carry on
Some here and then
You're gone
Some ladies all around you
But I bet your feeling
Lonesome
Blue Finger Lou
My woogie wants to boogie
With you
You know I watch you
Every evening playing
Kitten on the keys
Wish you'd tickle me
Instead of your ivories
In my dreams of love
I seem to concentrate
On the peddle-pumping rhythm
Of the eighty-eight
You and I could
Harmonize
Cuddle up and
Improvise
Cut a rug
Or kiss and hug
Until we see the
Sun rise
Blue Finger Lou
My woogie wants to boogie
With you
I gotta know
I gotta know
I gotta know
If I am ever gonna get
The chance to show you
How I'm feelin'
All the floozy thoughts
And thinkin'
Don't you know that it was
Me that bought the
Pink that you were
Drinkin'?
Really need a girl
Just like me to syncopate
To the peddle-pumping rhythm
Of the eighty-eight
You and I could
Harmonize
Cuddle up and
Improvise
Cut a rug
Or kiss and hug
Until we see the
Sun rise
Blue Finger Lou
My woogie wants to boogie
With you
I gotta know
I gotta know
I gotta know
If I am ever gonna get
The chance to show you
How I'm feelin'
All the floozy thoughts
And thinkin'
Don't you know that it was
Me that bought the
Pink that you were
Drinkin'?
Really need a girl
Just like me to syncopate
To the peddle-pumping rhythm

You and I could

Cut a rug
Or kiss and hug
Until we see the
Sun rise
Blue Finger Lou
My woogie wants to boogie
With you
Yes, I do
Blue Finger Lou
My woogie wants to boogie
With you
Blue Finger Lou
My woogie wants to boogie
I can hear the cars out on the street
As I lie awake and watch you while you sleep
It seems that it was only yesterday
When you took my hand and carried me away.
Now ev'ryday I look at you
And think of when you married me
Is it still the same for you
As good as how it used to be
Oh, I wonder are you still in love with me?
Our children are the garden we have grown
I see so much of you in them I know
This house is filled with mem'ries of the past
When no-one thought that you and I would last.
Now ev'ryday I look at you
And think of when you married me
Is it still the same for you
As good as how it used to be
Oh, I wonder are you still in love with me?
Now after all this time we've been together
Did you ever think the right one could be wrong
I know you said you'd stay with me forever
I just can't believe your love would last so long.
So now I think I'll put my fears away
If not for love you never would have stayed
Forgive me if I feel this way again
But I need to know you love me now and then.
'Cause ev'ryday I look at you
And think of when you married me
Is it still the same for you
As good as how it used to be
Oh, I wonder are you still in love with me?
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
FADE
I rolled out this mornin' the kids had the mornin' news show on
Bryant Gumbel was talkin' 'bout the fighting in Lebanon
Some senator was squawkin' 'bout the bad economy
It's gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy
There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band
One more sad story's one more than I can stand
Just once how I'd like to see the headline say
"Not much to print today, can't find nothin' bad to say", because
Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news today
I'll come home this evenin', I'll bet that the news will be the same
Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane
How I wanna hear the anchor man talk about a county fair
And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care
Whoa, tell me
Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today
And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play
And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA
We sure could use a little good news today
Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
(Now and then there's a fool such as I)
Pardon me, if I’m sentimental
When we say goodbye
Don't be angry with me should I cry
When you're gone, yet I’ll dream
A little dream as years go by
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I’ll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I’ll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I
