The sound of your voice, the touch of your skin
If we go there it will start all over again
So don't even call, there's no need for checking in
If it's really over, let it just be over
No, we won't be sharing coffee
Or having lunch from time to time
I won't ask about your family
Please don't ask about mine
This is never what I wanted
And it's killing me to say
It just has to be this way
We gave all we could, we fought the good fight
But no matter how we loved, we just couldn't get it right
It hurts to let go, but it's harder hangin' on
I don't want it to be over, we know that it's over
No, we won't be sharing coffe
Or having lunch from time to time
I won't ask about your family
Please don't ask about mine
This is never what I wanted
And it's killing me to say
It just has to be this way
And even if I change my mind
Don't let me hurt me one more time
Stay away from me, be as cold as you can be
No, we won't be sharing coffe
Or having lunch from time to time
I won't ask about your family
Please don't ask about mine
This is never what I wanted
And it's killing me to say
It just has to be this way
Oh, it just has to be this way
(Vince Gill / Reed Nielson)
Why don't you come clean, baby
I know what you're goin' through
You must think I'm some kind of crazy
Well, honey I'm just worried 'bout you
You look so much like your mama
And I'm sorry for you that she's gone
And if she was here she sould tell ya
Don't lose sight of what's right or what's wrong
Chorus:
'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause baby, teh talk gets around
You ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town
Well, I hope your conscience is listening
When you're out runnin' at night
All it takes is one bad decision
To haunt you the rest of your life
Chorus x 2
Everyt ime I look into the mirror
I swear that I don't see the things you do
You say it couldn't be any clearer
And all I can see is me without you
Chorus:
Without you trying to change me
With you trying to take me
And turn me into someone you once knew
Without you trying to make me
Without you trying to break me
All I can see is me without you
When you slipped that little ring around my finger
you smiled and said your wilder days are through
Well, I've got a real bad case of rambling fever
And all I can see is me without you
Chorus x 2
All I can see is me without you
I rushed home from work like I always do
I spent my whole day just thinking of you
When I walked through the front door my whole life was changed
Cause nobody answered when I called your name
A note on the table that told me goodbye
It said you'd grown weary of living a lie
Your love has ended but mine still remains
But nobody answers when I call your name
Oh the lonely sound of my voice calling
Is driving me insane
And just like rain the tears keep falling
Nobody answers when I call your name
Oh the lonely sound of my voice calling
Is driving me insane
And just like rain the tears keep falling
Nobody answers when I call your name
Oh nobody answers when I call your name
CHORUS:
When I look into your heart
I see us holding each other
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart
I've seen the moon dance on the waters
Watched the morning sun slip through the trees
But the sight of you is the vision
That takes me to my knees
REPEAT CHORUS
I've never known such comfort
I've never felt such release
I've never felt so connected
I've never know such peace
REPEAT CHORUS
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart
What child is this
that lay to rest
on Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom Angels greet with anthem sweet
and shepard's watch are keeping
This , this is Christ the King
Whom shepards guard
and Angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him love
The babe, the son of Mary
So bring him incence, gold and merth
Come peasants king to honor him
The King of Kings salvation brings
and loving arms enthrone him
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepards guard
and Angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him love
The babe, the son of Mary
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepards guard
and Angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him love
The babe, the son of Mary
We won't dance no more
We won't shine out on the floor
We won't sway the band won't play
We won't dance
I kid you not we were hot
When the weekend came we'd dance non-stop
No jitterbug no substitute
No twist and turn no crasha nd burn
Could top us two
We won't dance no more
We won't shine out on the floor
We won't sway the band won't play
We won't dance
As I dipped you down in your yellow dress
We'd brush the floor in a slow caress
As minutes turned to a rising sun
We'd leave the day to rest
Our dancing done
We won't dance no more
We won't shine out on the floor
We won't sway the band won't play
We won't dance
If I were God and controlled what is
I'd steal your shoes so you couldn't dance with his
Well I'm not all that I could be
But you'll never dance with him
The way you danced with me
We won't dance no more
We won't dance no more
Well I'm not all that I could be
But you'll never dance with him
The way you danced with me
We won't dance no more
We won't shine out on the floor
We won't sway the band won't play
We won't dance
We won't dance no more
We won't shine out on the floor
We won't sway the band won't play
We won't dance
A little girl was cryin'
for her mama and her daddy
She couldn't understand why they were gone
She never knew the danger
Of talking to a stranger
Now the girl can't find her way back home
A little boy went walkin'
Down to the corner market
To buy a loaf of bread and an ince cream cone
He never knew the dnager
Of talkin' to a stranger
Now the boy can't find the way back home
Chorus:
Too many kids are missin'
Is anybody listening?
Won't you be the children's eyes
They're all alone
The hardest part's not knowing
Where they are or where they're going
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
The faces on milk cartons
Thrown away and soon forgotten
What if one of those sweet kids
Was your very own
Tonight those kids are weeping
While yours are safely sleeping
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
Chorus
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
We closed down the Border Cantina
And drank margaritas till dawn
You were my sweet senorita
And I was your handsome Don Jaun
We danced like there was no tomorrow
We laughed and we lived and we loved
That moment in time that we borrowed
Never did last long enough
Chorus:
Yeah, we had it all going our way for a little while
We had it all right in the palm of our hands
We had it all going our way for a little while
Oh, how I wish we could go back there again
We thought we were too young to marry
Slowly we drifted apart
Well baby, I miss you like crazy
Those memories still burn in my heart
Oh, let's find a way to rekindle
That flame that burned long ago
These days just can't hold a candle
To those sweet nights in old Mexico
Chorus x 2
Yeah, we had it all going our way for a little while
Oh, how I wish we could go back there again
Oh, how I wish we could go back there again
You could have given me a million reasons why
But it wouldn't change a thing
Cause you said it all when you said goodbye
And you took off your wedding ring.
Chorus:
I've been tryin' to get over you
I've been spending time alone
I've been tryin' to get over you
It'll take dyin' to get it done.
All my friends keep tryin' to fix me up
They say I need somebody new
When it comes to love I've all but given up
Cause life don't mean nothin' without you.
Chorus:
I've been tryin' to get over you
I've been spending time alone
I've been tryin' to get over you
It'll take dyin' to get it done.
Chorus:
I've been tryin' to get over you
I've been spending time alone
I've been tryin' to get over you
It'll take dyin' to get it done.
It'll take dyin' to get it done...
It's 6:05 on Sunday mornin'
And I was supposed to've left for Memphis late last night
But I stopped at one of them old highway places
And 'cause I did I'll sleep in Tarren County Jail tonight
Well I started out tonight with good intentions
But I ended up gettin' sidways drinkin' wine
Well the last thing I remember we was rollin'
And something hit my head and knocked me from my conscious mind
Chorus:
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dances
ingin' them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place I don't belong
I said, "Jailor, hey, what y'all got me charged with?"
Well he looked at me and halfway closed one eye
Well he said, "To mean to say you don't remember Cuttin' up some fool with that bone handled knife?"
Repeat Chorus X 2
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 every street corner you hear
Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, 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
Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love
If you're not sure he holds your heart
Don't let pride keep us apart
You need true love
Chorus:
True love is all I'm after
I long to hear your laughter
The only thing that matters
Is it's true love
It's true love
I hear your voice in every sound
You're never there when I turn around
I need true love
I can't quit and I won't give in
Until you're back in my arms again
We need true love
Chorus
When I look at you You look right through me
I wish you knew
What your love's done to me
Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love
Yeah...
Chorus
It's true love (repeat to fade)
Chorus:
You better turn me loose
Turn me loose you know that I can't stay
You better turn me loose
Well turn me loose you know I'll make it anyway
Well why don't you tell me
Just what's goin' on
Both of us lyin' here
And we both know it's wrong
So why don't you let me
Why don't you leave it alone
And don't keep hangin' on to a love that's dead and gone
Chorus
Well you can't see it's over
That's really a shame
Well our love didn't make it
No one's to blame
So why don't we say goodbye
Why don't we just say we're through
And I'll be on my way
And I'll get by without you
Chorus X 2
Turn me loose you know I'll make it anyway
Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love
If you're not sure he holds your heart
Don't let pride keep us apart
You need true love
Chorus:
True love is all I'm after
I long to hear your laughter
The only thing that matters
Is it's true love
It's true love
I hear your voice in every sound
You're never there when I turn around
I need true love
I can't quit and I won't give in
Until you're back in my arms again
We need true love
Chorus
When I look at you You look right through me
I wish you knew
What your love's done to me
Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love
Yeah...
Chorus
It's true love (repeat to fade)
(Vince Gill / Pete Wasner)
Baby, let's just say farewell
Baby, let's just both give in
No, it's not too hard to tell
The walls are closin' in
Oh, it's time to say goodbye
And put this in the past
Even though I know we tried
To save the best for last
Chorus:
I guess nothin' stays the same
Still the memories remain
We need all the sweet forgiveness we can find
There's a sadness in the wind
Oh, I wish you well my friend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again
I don't know what's left to say
I don't know where we went wrong
When I watch you walk away
I'll miss you when you're gone
Baby, shed a tear for me
And I'll she da tear for you
Oh, let's set this heartache free
And in time we'll make it through, well
Chorus
There's a sadness in the wind
Oh, I wish you well my friend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again
Well, it ain't hard to see you've got the blues
Come hold on to me, and I'll comfort you
A pretty little angel with a heavy heart
Well, tryin' to carry on is the hardest part
Chorus:
Love will fool ya, it'll do you wrong
Shout hallelujah when the clouds are gone
'Cause you know pretty baby, the sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you
I miss that little sparkle on your face
That pretty little smile that has been replaced
Have a little faith, baby just be still
'Cause things are gonna be just the way they will
Chorus:
Love will fool ya, it'll do you wrong
Shout hallelujah when the clouds are gone
'Cause you know pretty baby, when you ain't lookin'
The sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you
Chorus:
Love will fool ya, it'll do you wrong
Shout hallelujah when the clouds are gone
'Cause you know pretty baby, when you ain't lookin'
And you ain't ready, the sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you
THE CHRISTMAS SONG
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
Help to make the season bright
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
Merry Christmas to you
Looking back over the years
Of all the things I've always meant to say
But the words didn't come easily
So many times through empty fears
Of all the nights I tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering
You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
Chorus:
Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change
I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart won't lieLong after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after tonight, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly
Through the four winds blown and gone
Will you come back to me
You try to love your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
Repeat Chorus
I can read the writing on the wall
You pretend that nothing's changed at all
I've got just one thing to ask you if it's so
Just take your memory with you when you go
So I won't have to think about
The lonely nights I'll be without
Someone to hold me when the cold wind blows
Take your memory with you when you go
I walk the floor and wonder what went wrong
I'll have to find a way to carry on
Why don't you leave before the heartache starts to show
Take your memory with you when you go
So I won't have to think about
The lonely nights I'll be without
Someone to hold me when the cold wind blows
Take your memory with you
So I won't have to miss you
Take your memory with you when you go
Sparkle, there's gotta be a sparkle
For you to love somebody
For you to really know
Brighter than the lights in the city
It's more than being pretty
The way you are inside
Why are you cryin'
Somebody's tryin'
To be with you only all the time
You hide behind tears
Counting the fears
You're so used to being alone
Sparkle, there's gotta be a sparkle
For you to love somebody
For you to really know
Sparkle, you got a certain sparkle
I know I love somebody
I gotta let it show
(Instrumental Break)
Nobody knows you
They can't get too close to
A girl who won't let down her disguise
You won't believe how much someone could love you
That someone is looking in your eyes
Sparkle, it's gotta be a sparkle
For you to love somebody
For you to really know
Brighter than the lights of the city
It's more than being pretty
It's the way you feel inside
Sparkle
(Instrumental Chorus Out)
That friend of mine wears an old work shirt
For a long long time she has blessed this earth
And a smile that shines even when she hurts
Oh how I love that friend of mine
That friend of mine gave her heart to me
How sweet and kind, oh the truth can be
And God's tie that binds us as family
Oh how I love that friend of mine
She's an angel, she's the answer
The sweetest piece of heaven in my eyes
And she's drawn to me like gravity
I'd lay down and die for that friend of mine
She's an angel, she's the answer
The sweetest piece of heaven in my eyes
She's drawn to me like gravity
I'd lay down and die for that friend of mine
I'd lay down and die for that friend of mine
That friend of mine wears an old work shirt
Tell me lover, tell me what you're gonna do
You gonna walk the walk or just talk the talk
Honey, what's up with you
Chorus:
Tell me lover, tell me how it's gonna be
You gonna mess around or just turn me down
Honey, won't you please tell me
Your good intentions ain't too good no more
You answer questions by slammin' that bedroom door
Come on baby let's turn the lamp down low
I'll solve your problems so honey please don't go
If the silence could kiill, honey we'd both be dead
It ain't hard to tell we're hangin' on by a thread
Say somethin' darlin' say what's on your mind We'll find the answer, I got nothin' but time
I saw an old lover
Today on the street
She said do you remember
How we used to be
On fire with that passion
We'd burn down those nights
No I haven't forgotten
How we used to fight
I finally got married
Settled on down
Yeah she's a preachers daughter
In a sleepy little town
She'd make you laugh
Since we said goodbye
No she aint that funny
But she never makes me cry
she never makes me cry like you used to
Theres nothing about her that reminds me of you
I promise I dont see your face when I look in her eyes
And she never makes me cry
Does she makes you beg
for her love in the night
no she aint that selfish
And she never makes me cry
she never makes me cry like you used to
Theres nothing about her that reminds me of you
I promise I dont see your face when I look in her eyes
she never makes me wonder when she's coming home
There's something about her like I've never known
It's been nice to see you but now i must say goodbye
she never makes me cry
she never makes me cry
no no
Do you ever think of me
When you lay your head down
Do you ever think of me
When he ain't around
Do you ever wonder why
Our love couldn't be
Ever since you said goodbye
Do you ever think of me
Chorus:
Savannah
The memory just won't fade
Savannah
I sure wish you'd stayed with me
Savannah
Do you ever see my face
In your new lover's eyes
Has my memory been erased
Am I out of your life
I still remember our first night
We made love so tenderly
So when he doesn't hold you right
Do you ever think of me
Chorus
If he ever lets you down
Happiness just can't be found
I'll still be here hangin' 'round
Savannah
Savannah
(Do you ever think of me)
... repeat to fade
I walk down these lonely streets and try to find you
In all the same old places we used to go
And the old friends that I meet still ask about you
They tell me if I see you say hello
Say hello to the arms that used to hold me
Hold me close when those chilly winds would blow
Say hello to the lips that used to kiss me
And whisper in my ear I love you so
I remember the night when I first met you
I knew that I could never let you go
Now I can't find a way to forget you
I'd give anything to hear you say hello
Say hello to the arms that used to hold me
Hold me close when those chilly winds would blow
Say hello to the lips that used to kiss me
And whisper in my ear I love you so
You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list, checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty-toot-toots and rum-a-tum-tums
Santa Claus is coming to town
And curly-head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddy cars too
Santa Claus is coming to town
The kids in Girl- and Boyland will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland town
All around the Christmas tree
You sure have a pretty smile
It sure has been a while
Since I've felt your touch
You've got the sweetest way
I think about you every day
I miss you so much
Chorus:
Oh my pretty little Adriana
Are you lonesome tonight
Oh my pretty little Adriana
I'll find you when it all feels right
You're so soft and innocent
The sweetest night I ever spent
Was being held in your embrace
You're such a gentle soul
It's killing me to know
When will I see your face
Oh my pretty little Adriana
Are you lonesome tonight
Oh my pretty little Adriana
I'll find you when it all feels right
Oh my pretty little Adriana
Are you lonesome tonight
Oh my pretty little Adriana
I'll find you when it all feels right
Oh my pretty little Adriana
Are you lonesome tonight
Oh my pretty little Adriana
I'll find you when it all feels right
Adriana
Adriana
(Vince Gill/Reed Nielsen)
There's a long white line stretching out on the road ahead
And there ain't one magazine that I ain't read
I haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Singing soft and low
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
There never seems to be time for me and you
That's a price you pay for the life you choose
Tonight's the loneliest night I've ever known
It just goes on and on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
It does my heart good to see you shine
So I'll just keep on counting these white lines
I haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Calling me back home
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
Sunrise through the evergreens
Another day is born
The hills take on a golden glow
A Carolina morn
I used to see you in her eyes
Now I've just got to know
Oh Carolina, how could you let her go?
Oh Carolina, if I'd only known
Oh Carolina, I would have never gone
I thought the beauty of your hills
Would hold her here for me
I never dreamed while I was gone
You'd ever set her free
I trusted you with all my heart
And the only love I've known
Oh Carolina, how could you let her go?
Oh Carolina, well if I'd only known
Oh Carolina, I would have never gone
Oh Carolina, if I'd only known
Oh Carolina, well I would have never gone
O Little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by
Yet in the dark streeet 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 wandering love
O morning stars together

and praises sing to god our king
and peace to men on earth

O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear saviours birth

Till he appeared and the soul felt it worth
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For younder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angles voices
O night divine, oh night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night, O night divine
O night divine, O night, O nihgt divine

You were like a lost kid looking for home
You found what you wanted right in my arms
If you walk out on me
Just leave your memory
Just take my sympathy and go
I love you so you're never alone
If you find another one turns your head
And you can't understand why it hurts so bad
If you walk out on me
Just leave your memory
Just take my sympathy and go
I love you so you're never alone
Ain't no need to talk about it
I can learn to live without it
Just leave your heart right here with me
If you walk out on me
Just leave your memory
Just take my sympathy and go
If you walk out on me
Just leave your memory
Just take my sympathy and go
I love you so you're never alone
No your Never alone
Girl you're never alone
Never alone
You don't need diamonds or big fancy cars
You say your happy right where you are
We're bound together by a little gold band
You're my kind of woman
Oh, you're my kind of man
Oh living without you is my only fear
You still drive me crazy when I hold you near
My body trembles with each touch of your hand
You're my kind of woman
Oh, you're my kind of manChorus:
You're my kind of woman
You're my kind of man
A match made in heaven
By God's gentle hands
I'll love you forever
Together we'll stand
You're my kind of woman
You're my kind of man
(Repeat chorus)
Oh there's nothin' like a woman
When you're all alone
No there's nothin' like a woman
To make a man come home
She's always there to understand
The little boy inside of the man
Oh there's nothin' like a woman
Nothin' at all
She knows when to hold you
And when to leave you alone
She's there to console you
When everything in the world's gone wrong
She lights a candle
And gets that look in her eye
And she's says boy you can handle
Staying up with me all night
Oh there's nothin' like a woman
When you're all alone No there's nothin' like her lovin'
To make a man come home
She's always there to understand
The little boy inside of the man
No there's nothin' like a woman
Nothin' at all
No there's nothin' like a woman
When you're all alone
No there's nothin' like a woman
To make a man come home
She's always there to understand
The little boy inside of the man
No there's nothin' like a woman
Nothin' at all
I'm a long long way from home
Mendin' a broken heart
Runnin' away from a love gone wrong
Tryin' to make a new start
An old friend called me up to say
That you've made some wedding plans
I'm comin' home on that midhight train
And fight for you like a man
Chorus:
Midnight train make your whistle brlow
Engineer pour your load of coal
Midnight train make your engine whine
Midnight train get me home on timeOh the thought of another man holdin' you
Is drivin' me insane
My only chance is to ride all night
I can't let you change your name
Now hey conductor we can't be late
Rollin' on down the track
'Cause you know tomorrow's your wedding day
I gotta win my baby back
Chorus X 2
No other lover ever really cared
When I've reached out for you you've always been there
Now I'm so far away and baby I'm scared
I never knew lonely til you
You are my rock and the strength I need
To keep me sane in this life that I lead
Now I'm not with you and my broken heart bleeds
I never knew lonely til you
I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
I never knew lonely til youI can't make up for the times I've been gone
But I'll prove I love you in the words of this song
Back in your arms girl it's where I belong
I never knew lonely til you
I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
I never knew lonely til you
The sweetest smile
The shyest kiss
Two wounded hearts
Were not expecting this
CHORUS:
Look what loves revealing
Something to believe in
Time to start the healing
For you and me
Look what loves revealing
Promises for keeping
Its natural as breathing
Look what loves revealing
Willing to trust
Well make it through
You reach for me
And find me reaching too
REPEAT CHORUS
Its natural as breathing
Look what loves revealing
Stars are falling from your eyes
You don't feel what I feel inside
Your hand is warm but your heart is cold
If you're hurtin' you don't let it show
How much longer can we go on
Actin' like there's nothin' wrong
How much farther can we drift apart
Before all the feeling is gone
Chorus:
I'm losing your love
It's slippin' away
Minute by minute
Day by day
losing your love
Don't you think I know
It's a matter of time
'Til you let go
I see the moon shinin' up above
Reminded me how good it was
There's a chill comin' over me
Why can't it be like it used to be
I feel so helpless, I can't make you stay
No matter how hard I try
I can't deny that look in your eyes
Tryin' to tell me goodbye
Chorus
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Me and you and the Sunday paper
Spread all over the bed
A rose colored morning light
All to ourselves
Hot coffee and the comic strips
Pillow talk and your fingertips
Laying down and loving
‘Til there's nothing left
CHORUS:
I'll take the little things
The simple pleasures that your sweet love brings
I'll take the little things with you
Open the windows, leave that old fan on
Lay here with me ‘til the sun is gone
Don't say nothin' just let the time
Pass right on by
I want to hear you breathe
I want to brush your hair
I don't care if we go anywhere
We've got everything we need
Right here in this room
REPEAT CHORUS
Me and you and the Sunday paper
Spread all over the bed
Well I've gont to stop livin' the way I do
And give my heart back to you
All those nights away from home
Caused my lonely heart to roam
Now I've got start livin' the way I do
I've spent a lifetime hurting you
And I expect someday you'll say we're through
It ain't two late for me to change
So please dono't write our final page
Still I've got to stop livin' the way I do
I've gone from honeymoons to heartaches
From faithful love to a fool
From hangin' out in honkey tonks
With any girl but you
Well I've got to stop livin' the way I do
And give my heart back to you
All those nights away from home
Caused my lonely heart to roam
Now I've got to stop livin' the way I do
I've said all that I can say
But you turned and walked away
It's too late to stop livin' the way I do
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
the peace that was meant to be.
With Earth as our mother
sisters all are we.
Let me walk with my sister
in perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me
let this be the moment now.
With every step i take
let this be my solemn vow.
To take each moment
and live each moment
with peace eternally.
Let ther be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.
(child)
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
the peace that was meant to be.
With earth as our mother
sisters all are we.
Let me walk with my sister
in perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me
let this be the moment now.
With every step I take
let this be my solemn vow.
To take each moment
and live each moment
in peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me.
fade out...
If you're gonna play the jukebox
Would you kindly keep it country
æ…ause I'm feelin' so lonely tonight
Oh please play a sad song about a heart that's just been stepped on
Would you kindly keep it country for me tonight
I'd get up off this bar stool if you'd play something we could dance to
Oh, a song about a love that's gone astray
Oh I love to hear æ…¹m sing about the misery and pain
Would you kindly keep it country for me tonight
Oh please play a sad song about a heart that's just been stepped on
Would you kindly keep it country for me tonight
Would you kindly keep it country for me tonight
It's time to pack our bags and hit the highway,
and head on out for christmas holiday,
I'll fall apart when I pull in the driveway,
it's my first time home since brother passed away,
His favorite time of year was always Christmas,
we'll reminisce about the days gone by,
oh how I wish that he was still here with us,
my memories with him will never die,
(Bridge)
But when the stockings are hung,
and silent night has been sung,
and Christmas is finally here,
It won't be the same this year,
Losing my big brother hurt so badly,
it's help me learn what Christmas really means,
there's nothing more important then your family,
we're all the children of the king of kings,
(Bridge)
IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME
OF THE YEAR
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you “Be of good cheer!â€
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the happiest season of all
With those holiday meetings
And gay, happy greetings
When friends come to call
It's the happiest season of all
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There you go now baby
Here am I well you
Let me here so I could
Sit and cry
Golly gee what have you
Done to me
Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore
Do you remember baby
Last September, how you
Held me tight
Each and every night
Ooh how you
Drove me crazy
Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore
Chorus: There's no use in me a cryin' and I've
Done everything and now I'm sick of tryin'
I've thrown away my nights
Wasted all my days over you
Now you go your way baby
And I'll go mine
Now and forever
'Til the end of time
Well I find somebody new baby
We'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore
Chorus
Now you go your way baby
And I'll go mine
Now and forever
'Til the end of time
Well I find somebody new baby
We'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore
You won't matter anymore
You won't matter anymore
[ with Rosanne Cash ]
If she'd only knew what I was thinking if she'd only knew what was in my head
Why can't she see my heart is breaking she'd be mine if it weren't for him
So many times I dreamed I had her I call her name when I lay down
Still I can't learn to live without her jealous heart is all I found
See your face would be my destiny now I won't take what you can give to me
This lonely place is all I hope to find if it weren't for him then you'd be mine
[ guitar ]
If he'd only knew what I was thinking if he'd only knew what was in my head
Why can't he see my heart is breaking he'd be mine if it weren't for him
You'd be mine if it weren't for him
If I had my way, we'd love one another
If I had my way, we'd all live as brothers
There'd be no more fussing and fighting
No more hungry innocent dying
I'd make it all go away
If I had my way
If I had my way
I'd carry your burden
If I had my way
No one would be hurtin'
And there'd be no more hatred and lying
No more lonely little kids crying
I'd make it all go away
If I had my way
Maybe one day the walls will come down
If I had my way, the lost would be found
Love will find a way to turn everything around
There'd be no more fussing and fighting
No more frightened little kids crying
I'd make it all go away
If I had my way
have i gone crazy

somethin strange is goin on
between me and you

Christmas eve will find me

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
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 Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.
Here were are as in olden days,
happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more.
Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
Hey God I just lost a dear old friend
Hey God I hope he's in your angel band
Hey God you know he believed in you
Just help me understand why you do the things you do
Hey God send me down some comfort please
Hey God I'll be down here on my knees
Hey God will we ever comprehend
The forgiveness and grace that lies waiting in the end
Oh there's anger and tears
For all of the years that your children won't have you to hold
Oh my heart had been broken
The angels have spoken still I wish I could watch you grow old
Hey God I know he didn't die alone
Hey God tell my old friend welcome home
Hey God please hear me when I pray
Pray for a little peace ‘til we meet again someday
Pray for a little peace ‘til we meet again someday
Have I gone crazy
Is there someone new
Something strange is going on
Between me and you
But tell me baby
Tell me it's not true
'Cause I've been hearing things about you
Are you unhappy
Are you lonely too
Won't you tell me face to face
What you're gonna do
Well I still love you
But I'm nobody's fool
I've been hearing things about you
Yeah I heard I've been dancin'
When you're out there runnin' 'round
And I heard you've been seein'
Some stranger you have found
And I heard you've been thinkin'
About tellin' me we're through
Yeah I've been hearing things about you
Yeah I heard you've been thinkin'
About tellin' me we're through
I've been hearing things, oh I ain't naming names
I've been hearing things about you
Whenever my soul is lonely
Whenever I'm feeling blue
I start thinkin' 'bout my blue eyed darlin'
And my heart starts pinin' for you
Chorus:
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
When I'm lost in this ocean of darkness
Not knowing which way I should turn
And my eyes are filled with sadness
Of knowing you'll never return
(Vince Gill / Al Anderson)
There's nothin' like the feelin'
When you finally find someone
You're wastin' your time
Thinkin' the whole thing through
If you take her for granted
Man, it's gonna come undone
Don't wait another minute
'Cause she's in love with you
Chorus:
Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away
Well, every gun town would love
To be in your shoes
They've never seen a woman
Ever look so fine
They're all waitin' for the chance
To walk all over you
Son I'd have to tell
I'd be the first in line
Chorus
Any fool can see you've got it made
A love like this don't come around everyday
Chorus x 3
Don't let her get away
One look, one kiss
Just a few words
Showed me such kindness
Your eyes really see me
Not for what I've been
But for who I am and what I could be
CHORUS:
How did you know I was waiting?
How did you know you were saving me?
Oh what a gift to leave it all behind
Lonely has known me for the last time
This love is forever
It won't be taken
For granted not ever
Look what my heart has gotten into
The sweetest gift I ever knew
It's even better than my favorite shoes
Look what my heart has found in you
CHORUS:
Feels like sunshine, feels like rain
Lord it feels like love finally called my name
I wanna jump and shout I wanna sing and dance
Lord it feels like love wants a second chance
Look what my heart can clearly see
How much I crave your company
A true companion I will always be
Look what my heart has done to me
REPEAT CHORUS
Looks like my heart has become
The safest place for us to run
I'll be here for you when the day is done
Looks like my heart has found someone
REPEAT CHORUS
When I told my baby
Do what you wanna do
Well I had no idea
Just what she'd put me through
Every night she's runnin' 'round
Singin' songs in your hometown
there ain't no one to love me
When the sun goes down
Chorus:
Well, she's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
I shoulda kept her barefoot
Barefoot and pregnant all the time
I used to be the first in line
Now I've fallen way behind
She's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
All that country club money
Lord it sure looked good to me... yeah it did
Playin' golf with those fat cats
How much better could life be
They all think I've got it made
They see your face on every page
Of every magazine
Across the USA
Chorus
If you see her tell her hi
And everything will be all right
Tell her that I love her
'Til the day I die
Chorus
Come on home
Vince Gill & Patrick Williams
Album: Breath of Heaven: A Christmas Collection
I have traveled many moonless nights
Cold and weary, with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done
Holy Father you have come
And chosen me now to carry your son.
I am waiting, in a silent prayer
I am frightened, by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone
Be with me now, be with me now.
Breath of heaven, hold me together
Be forever near me, Breath of heaven
Breath of Heaven, lighten my darkness
Pour over me your Holiness, for You are holy
Breath of Heaven.
Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place
But I offer all I am for the mercy of Your plan
Help me be strong, Help me be, Help me.
Breath of heaven, hold me together
Be forever near me, Breath of heaven
Breath of Heaven, lighten my darkness
Pour over me your Holiness, for You are holy
Breath of heaven, hold me together
Be forever near me, Breath of heaven
Breath of Heaven, lighten my darkness
Pour over me your Holiness, for You are holy
Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven...
Baby dont go baby please dont go
Dont you leave me here feelin lonely
Dont you leave me here feelin low
All I know is what I know
And I know I love you so
Baby dont go baby please dont go
I wasnt ready for love to hit me
Hit me right between the eyes
One by one Im comin undone
Cant you feel my temperature rise
Well Ive got you where you want me
Right in the palm of your hand
Im gonna make you feel like a woman
Cause you make me feel like a man
REPEAT CHORUS
Lock your eyes right with me
Make time slow down to a crawl
Two hearts on fire with a wild desire
Climbin these bedroom walls
My heartbeats gettin stronger
Baby wont you rock me slow
I cant take it any longer
You got me shakin all the way to my toes
REPEAT CHORUS
We both went a little crazy
We both did each other wrong
Don't think it's too late baby
Don't think that all hope is gone
Chorus:
We need a little more love
To get us through the night
Just a little more love
And we'll be all right
It'd be easy to say it doesn't matter
To walk away and wish you the best
But I know we'd feel a whole lot better
If we tried a little tenderness
Let's put our differences aside
We can make it baby you and I
Let's give it just one more try
We can't let this thing die
I wake up one morning and it's passed you by
You don't know when and you don't know why
I feel like an old memory hangin' round
And man, we've got to face it, it's a young man's town
I knew this day was comin' all along
Some why bitch an' moan and say they done you wrong
Just teach 'em what you know and pass it on down
'Cause man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town
It's a young man's town
Full of young man's dreams
And all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings
And sometimes you gotta stand back
And watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town
You always seem to be the last to know
Man, that's just the way that the story goes
There's nothin' you can do when the fields have turned brown
An' man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town
It's a young man's town
Full of young man's dreams
And all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings
And sometimes you gotta stand back
And watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town
Sometimes you gotta stand back
And watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town
There's nothing quite as lonely
As a sky that turns to gray
Or a love that just starts dyin'
And slowly fades away
You we're my best companion
Now we lie silent in the dark
Why do you and me have to be
Worlds apart?
There's nothing quite as empty
As when children go away
And all that's left are memories
Of all those yesterdays
You can't understand the feeling
Till it finds its way to your heart
Why do you and me have to be
Worlds apart?
There's nothing quite as ugly
As two people full of hate
We'll all end up as equals
When we stand at Heaven's gate
Love is still the answer
It's the only place to start
Why do you and me have to be
Worlds apart?
Love is still the answer
It's the only place to start
Why do you and me have to be
I've got two lovers in my life now
A true love and one that's brand new
I'm not really sure that I know how
To love one and tell one we're through
I can't sleep at night, I toss and I turn
I keep losing sight of lessons I've learned
I'm standing at the crossroads with just one concern
Which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn
I knew this was wrong, I didn't listen
'Cause a heart only knows what feels right
Oh I need to reach a decision
And get on with the rest of my life
I can't sleep at night, I toss and I turn
I keep losing sight of lessons I've learned
I'm standing at the crossroads with just one concern
Which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn
I can't sleep at night, I toss and I turn
I keep losing sight of lessons I've learned
I'm standing at the crossroads with just one concern
Which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn
The face of an angel, pretty eyes that shine
I lie awake at night wishing you were mine
I'm standing here holding the biggest heartache in town
Whenever you come around
I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won't come I'm so scared to death
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
And I feel so helpless I feel just like a kid
What is it about you that makes me keep my feelings hid
I wish I could tell you, bu the words can't be found
Whenever you come around
I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won't come I'm so scared to death
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won't come I'm so scared to death
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
And when you smile that smile
The whole world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
Whenever you come around
It's 6:05 a.m. on Sunday mornin'
And I was supposed to left for Memphis late last night
But I stopped at one of them old highway places
And 'cause I did, I'll sleep in Tarrant County Jail tonight
Well, I started out tonight with good intentions
But I ended up gettin' sideways drinkin' wine
Well, the last thing I remember we was rollin'
Somethin' hit my head and knocked me from my conscious mind
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place I don't belong, alright
I said, "Jailor, hey, what y'all got me charged with?"
Well, he looked at me and halfway closed one eye
Well, he said to me, ?To say, you don't remember
Cuttin' up some fool with that bone handled knife?"
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place I don't belong
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
There's a man drinkin' whiskey in a bar room
He's nursin' a broken heart
There's a woman at a table
With her own brand of misery cryin' in the dark
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will somebody lost find someone who's lost?
Will strangers find comfort in the cold neon light?
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Oh, there's just a waitress between them
They're so close to finding their dreams
They're just one dance away from easing the pain
Of coming apart at the seams
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will somebody lost find someone who's lost?
Will strangers find comfort in the cold neon light?
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will somebody lost find someone who's lost?
Will strangers find comfort in the cold neon light?
Will two hearts make one tonight?
There's a long white line stretching out on the road ahead
There ain't one magazine that I ain't read
Haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Singing soft and low
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
Never seems to be time for me and you
That's a price you pay for the life you choose
Tonight's the loneliest night I've ever known
Just goes on and on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
It does my heart good to see you shine
So I'll just keep on counting these white lines
Haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Calling me back home
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I've got a secret I keep in my heart
A secret that sure makes me smile
And I've got a feeling deep down in my soul
That I haven't felt in a while
I've found somebody that really does love me
And I know that she'll always stay
I'm the luckiest guy in the world
'Cause my heart feels this way
We watch old movies and cry at the endings
And get lost in each other's eyes
We hold hands when we're walking and spend all night talking
And make love as the sun starts to rise
She's found somebody that really does love her
And she knows that I'll always stay
I'm the luckiest guy in the world
'Cause her heart feels this way
We share the same hopes, dream the same dreams
Lifelong companions I'd say
I'm the luckiest guy in the world
'Cause our hearts feel this way
I'm the luckiest guy in the world
'Cause our hearts feel this way
Devil In Disguise
You look like an angel (Look like an angel)
Walk like an angel (Walk like an angel)
Talk like an angel (Talk like an angel)
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
I thought that I was in heaven
But I was sure surprised
Heaven help me, I didn't see
The devil in your eyes
You look like an angel (Look like an angel)
Walk like an angel (Walk like an angel)
Talk like an angel (Talk like an angel)
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
You know I'm about to lose my mind
I got a woman down below the Mason-Dixon line
She deals the cards awful good to me
She's a blackjack dealer on the Delta Queen
On the south side of Dixie
From Savannah Georgia down to New Orleans
On the south side of Dixie
Women there they don't treat you mean
On the south side of Dixie
A side of the south you ain't never seen
Half a tank north of Birmingham
Red eye gravy and country ham
Chattanooga woman sure is sweet
She's a hillbilly singer from Tennessee
On the south side of Dixie
From Savannah Georgia down to New Orleans
On the south side of Dixie
Women there they don't treat you mean
On the south side of Dixie
A side of the south you ain't never seen
If you go down south, you're gonna have a ball
You'll go half crazy tryin' to love 'em all
You might get lucky, you can't never tell
With them Georgia peaches and them southern belles
On the south side of Dixie
From Savannah Georgia down to New Orleans
On the south side of Dixie
Women there they don't treat you mean, not too bad
On the south side of Dixie
A side of the south you ain't never seen
On the south side of Dixie
I wipe a tear away as I give up this day
Wonderin' if I'll ever find someone
And when I close my eyes and dream
These are the words I'm whispering, someday, love will come
I won't have a doubt, my head up in the cloud
And certain as the mornin' sun
I will always believe there's somebody just for me
Someday love will come
Someday, after all these nights of waitin'
And someday, I'll find the chance worth takin'
And saving me from waking up alone
My heart will find a home someday
And she'll be so beautiful
The sweetest miracle
Someday, love will come
Someday, after all these nights of waitin'
And someday, I'll find the chance worth takin'
And saving me from waking up alone
My heart will find a home someday
And when I close my eyes and dream
These are the words I'm whispering
Someday love will come
I've done some things that I hadn't oughta
Like coming home late with the preacher's daughter
I'd hit the back door seeing double
My ol' man waiting with a fistful of trouble
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you're a winner
You talk about love, I ain't no beginner
I'm a sucker for a juke joint jumpin'
I never stop chasin' the scent of the woman
It's just the way that I've always been
You knock me down, I'm coming back again
I sing, I've been there and I've done that
I come up smilin' song
I've been on top and I've hit the bottom
You talk about hard times Lord, I've got 'em
Just keep on runnin' and go in full of throttle
There ain't no answer in the bottom of a bottle
It's just the way that I've always been
You knock me down, I'm coming back again
I sing, I've been there and I've done that
I come up smilin' song
Come up smilin'
It's just the way that I've always been
You knock me down, I'm coming back again
I sing, I've been there and I've done that
I come up smilin' song
It's just the way that I've always been
You knock me down, I'm coming back again
I sing, I've been there and I've done that
And I come up smilin' song
Oh, keep on smilin'
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring, ting, tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside, the snow is falling
And friends are calling, 'You, hoo'
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup
Let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup
It's grand, just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy, cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup
Let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup
It's grand, just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy, cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
A sleigh ride together with you
Only a memory this morning
My baby up and walked away
In my heart the tears keep pouring
She left with so much to say
She don't know whose heart she's breaking
She don't know my dream lies still
She don't know how much she's taking
She don't know and never will
I can't sleep, I've gotta find her
I've got to make her understand
Although another love may bind her
No one can love her like I can
She don't know whose heart she's breaking
She don't know my dream lies still
She don't know how much she's taking
She don't know and never will
She don't know whose heart she's breaking
She don't know my dream lies still
She don't know how much she's taking
She don't know and never will
She don't know
(She don't know)
She don't know
(She don't know)
She don't know
Driving all night too many miles to go
Pedal tot he metal listenin to the radio
I got three days to get from cheyenne to san antone
Thats the life of a cowboy ridin the rodeo
My back sides sore and Im movin kinda slow
But when I hit okie city theres a barrel racer that I know
A little home cookin and some lovin to heal my bones
Thats the life of a cowboy ridin the rodeo
Ride cowboy ride hold on for your life
Eight seconds is a long long time when youre sitting on dynamite
You cant make money buddy if get thrown
Thats the life of a cowboy ridin the rodeo
Well I might get lucky down in san antone
Find a little texas girl I could call my own
That lone star lovins the best Ive ever known
Thats the life of a cowboy ridin the rodeo
Ride cowboy ride hold on for your life
Eight seconds is a long long time when youre sitting on dynamite
You cant make money buddy if get thrown
Thats the life of a cowboy ridin the rodeo
No man ever sounded so lonesome
No man ever made you feel such pain
Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you sing that way
The stories you told about prison
About a young man gone astray
Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you write the songs that way
A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil
It's a miracle you're standin' here today
A real mean bottle made you such a rebel
Must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way
You spent most all your life with strangers
With a ramblin' fever in your veins
Hag, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you play the blues that way
A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil
It's a miracle you're standin' here today
A real mean bottle made you such a rebel
It must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way
A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil
There's a redhead from my hometown that loves to let her hair down
She tears my heart out when she starts to sing
She's from the right side of Red River and she's pretty as a picture
Don't you know she's this ole cowboy's dream?
There's a boy from Okie city and I sure think he's pretty
But I know he's trying to steal my heart away
Oh my mama tried to warn me, he's done time in California
But he'll be an Okie til his dyin' day
There's a dance we do in Oklahoma
A dance like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
How to do that Oklahoma swing
Well when two okies get together man there's nothin' they like better
Than to hold each other on a sawdust floor
Oh I love it when we're swayin' to those sweet twin fiddles playin'
Come on boy, what are we waitin' for?
There's a dance we do in Oklahoma
A dance like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
How to do that Oklahoma swing
Yeah, there's a dance we do in Oklahoma
A dance like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
How to do that Oklahoma swing
Oh there's nothin' like a woman, when you're all alone
No there's nothin' like a woman, to make a man come home
She's always there to understand, little boy inside of the man
Oh there's nothin' like a woman, nothin' at all
She knows when to hold you, and when to leave you alone
She's there to console you, when everything in the world's gone wrong
She lights a candle and gets that look in her eye
She says, boy can you handle, staying up with me all night?
Oh there's nothin' like a woman, when you're all alone
No there's nothin' like her lovin' to make a man come home
She's always there to understand, little boy inside of the man
No there's nothin' like a woman, nothin' at all
No there's nothin' like a woman, when you're all alone
No there's nothin' like a woman to make a man come home
She's always there to understand, little boy inside of the man
No there's nothin' like a woman, nothin' at all
She's always there to understand, little boy inside of the man
No there's nothin' like a woman, nothin' at all, no
Things have changed in the modern world
It Makes it kinda crazy for a boy and girl
All a lot of noise on the radio
It really don't rock
It really don't roll
Well, a kid come along make the young girls swoon
They all put his picture in their pink bedrooms
They all hail the brand new king
Everybody's waiting for the next big thing
[Chorus]
Big cigars, diamond rings
Ridin' all around in a limousine
When you finally hit the top
Man you know what that means
Everybody's ready for the next big thing
For a little while
you can do no wrong
live it up son
cause it don't last long
There's always somebody
Waitin' in the wings
Thinking they're going to be the next big thing
[Chorus]
I'll get a cowboy hat
Some real tight jeans
Lose a little weight and
Get a bellybutton ring
You can stand back I'm a lean machine
Maybe I'm gonna be the next big thing
[Chorus]
You?ve got my number
And you?ve got my name
So why don?t you call me
Little Liza Jane?
You?ve got that body
And you?ve got that frame
So why don?t you call me
Little Liza Jane?
Girl, I got it bad for you
There ain?t nothin? I won?t do
Just one kiss and I?ll never be the same
Little Liza Jane, oh, little Liza Jane
Now you?ve heard my story
And you?ve got to know my name
So why don?t you call me
Little Liza Jane?
Girl, I got it bad for you
There ain?t nothin? I won?t do
Just one kiss and I?ll never be the same
Little Liza Jane, oh, little Liza Jane
Kiss me like you'll never see my face again
As soft and tender as you can
Hold me like we'll never make sweet love again
Please make me feel like a man
Let's send up a prayer for this love that we share
'Cause it could change in the blink of an eye
No, you just never know how tomorrow will go
So let's make sure we kiss goodbye
Let's make sure we kiss goodbye
Look at me just like the day we fell in love
And found the missing pieces to our souls
You and me have always fit just like a glove
Wherever you are feels like home
So let's send up a prayer for this love that we share
'Cause it could change in the blink of an eye
No, you just never know how tomorrow will go
So let's make sure we kiss goodbye
Let's make sure we kiss goodbye
Let's send up a prayer for this love that we share
'Cause it could change in the blink of an eye
No, you just never know how tomorrow will go
So let's make sure we kiss goodbye
Let's make sure we kiss goodbye
Let's make sure we kiss goodbye
When Jenny was a little girl she only dreamed of trains
She never played with dolls or lacy kinds of things
Jenny counted boxcars instead of countin' sheep
She could go anywhere when she went to sleep
All she ever talked about was gettin' on to ride
She was livin' in another time you could see it in her eyes
Everyday after school she'd head don't to the tracks
Waitin' for the train that was never comin' back
Chorus:
Jenny dreamed of trains
When the nighttime came
Nobody knew how she made it come true
Jenny dreamed of trains
The depot's been boarded up, the rails have turned to rust
There hasn't been a train through here since the mill went bust
No one believed her when she said she heard the train
Said she was just a little girl actin' kinda strange
(Chorus)
Jenny laid a penny on the track one day
In God we trust she walked away
The very next mornin' all that she could find
Was a little piece of copper squashed flatter than a dime
Nobody knew how she made it come true
(Vince Gill, Troy Seals)
You're climbing mountains, I'm on the hill
You're always running, I'm standing still
You live for the moment, no future no past
I may be a fool to love by the rules,
I want it to last.
CHORUS:
If you ever have forever in mind
I'll be here and easy to find
If your heart isn't ready to lay down with mine
If you ever have forever in mind
Music has ended still you want to dance
I know that feeling, I can't take the chance
You live for the moment, no future no past
I may be a fool to love by the rules,
I want it to last.
When you said you were leavin'
I said here we go again
I ain't even breakin' even
In this game I just can't win
The cards are stacked against me
Your aces beat my twos
Seems like bad luck travels with me
Like I was born to lose
I quit, I've had enough
Of fallin' in and out of love
I'm done, I'm through, that's it
If I can't have you, I quit
You were my only sunshine
In a world of pouring of pouring rain
So this will be my last time
I can't go through this again
I quit, I've had enough
Of fallin' in and out of love
I'm done, I'm through, that's it
If I can't have you, I quit
I'm done, I'm through, that's it
I know your life on earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the Devil
You were no stranger to the rain
Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
Wish I could see the angels' faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing
So go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
So go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Hey Creole darlin'
Talk that French to me
You know your love is somethin'
A kind never seen
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
Your eyes shine like diamonds
And those kisses sure make me scream
There ain't nothin' like love on the Bayou
Honey, I know you know what I mean
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
They got the Gumbo and the Creole
They got the Quarter all night long
They got my Delta Queen that makes my heart sing
And I ain't never goin' home
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
Sweet New Orleans baby
They got the Gumbo and the Creole
They got the Quarter all night long
They got my Delta Queen that makes my heart sing
And I ain't never goin' home
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
It's colder than winter
Right here in my heart
Lord, I'm gonna miss her
She's torn me apart
I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give you any more
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door
It's colder than winter
I'm freezin' inside
And my tears won't be bitter
Even though our love died
I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give you anymore
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door
Every time the sun sets
I shed another tear
And the lonelier I get
Wishing you were still here
I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give you any more
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door
It's colder than winter
Oh, I woke up this morning
A long before the dawn
I stumbled to the kitchen
And put some coffee on
The house was deathly quiet
I knew something was wrong
Then suddenly it dawned on me
The cold gray light of gone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
When waking up and findin' out
She's never comin' home
And the note that said it's over
Lord, it chills me to the bone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
Oh, I sat and cried for hours
And I tried to clear my head
I even went and laid back down
On her side of the bed
Her perfume lingered on the sheets
Our love once laid upon
Her memory's destroying me
In the cold gray light of gone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
When waking up and findin' out
She's never comin' home
And the note that said it's over
Lord, it chills me to the bone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
When waking up and findin' out
She's never comin' home
And the note that said it's over
Lord, it chills me to the bone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
I work my fingers to the bone
But you won't hear me cry and moan
A workin' man don't need no welfare line
Well, I'll never be a millionaire
And frankly I don't even care
'Cause all I need to have a real good time
Is a little left over on Saturday night
If my bills are paid my plans are made
And everything's alright
Put on my ropers and them wranglers fittin' tight
Got a little left over
And it's Saturday night
I don't drink but I love to dance
With those sweet young things in their cowboy hats
These country girls will be the death of me
If that's the way I gotta go
Lord I hope I die real slow
'Til I do, I'll tell you all I need
Is a little left over on Saturday night
If my bills are paid my plans are made
And everything's alright
Put on my ropers and them wranglers fittin' tight
Got a little left over
Sing sweet and low a lullaby, till Angels say, "Amen"
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem
While wise men follow through the dark, a star that beckons them
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem
A little child shall lead them, the prophets said of old
Storm and tempest heed them until the bell is tolled
Sing sweet and low your lullaby, till angels say, "Amen"
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem
I've got two lovers in my life now
A true love and one that's brand new
I'm not really sure that I know how
To love one and tell one we're through
Chorus:
I can't sleep at night, I toss and turn
I keep losing sight of lessons I've learned
I'm standing at the crossroads with just one concern
Which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn
I knew this was wrong, I didn't listen
Cause a heart only knows what feels right
Oh I need to reach a decision
And get on with the rest of my life
Repeat Chorus
The sweetest smile
The shyest kiss
Two wounded hearts
Were not expecting this
CHORUS:
Look what love¡¯s revealing
Something to believe in
Time to start the healing
For you and me
Look what love¡¯s revealing
Promises for keeping
It¡¯s natural as breathing
Look what love¡¯s revealing
Willing to trust
We¡¯ll make it through
You reach for me
And find me reaching tooREPEAT CHORUS
It¡¯s natural as breathing
Look what love¡¯s revealing
Kiss me like you¡¯ll never see my face again
As soft and tender as you can
Hold me like we¡¯ll never make sweet love again
Please make me feel like a man
CHORUS:
So let¡¯s send a prayer
For this love that we share
¡®Cause it could change in the blink of an eye
You just never know
How tomorrow will go
So let¡¯s make sure we kiss goodbye
Look at me just like the day we fell in love
And found the missing pieces to our souls
You and me have always fit just like a glove
Wherever you are feels like home
REPEAT CHORUS
Baby don¡¯t go baby please don¡¯t go
Don¡¯t you leave me here feelin¡¯ lonely
Don¡¯t you leave me here feelin¡¯ low
All I know is what I know
And I know I love you so
Baby don¡¯t go baby please don¡¯t go
I wasn¡¯t ready for love to hit me
Hit me right between the eyes
One by one I¡¯m comin¡¯ undone
Can¡¯t you feel my temperature rise
Well I¡¯ve got you where you want me
Right in the palm of your hand
I¡¯m gonna make you feel like a woman
¡®Cause you make me feel like a manREPEAT CHORUS
Lock your eyes right with me
Make time slow down to a crawl
Two hearts on fire with a wild desire
Climbin¡¯ these bedroom walls
My heartbeat¡¯s gettin stronger
Baby won¡¯t you rock me slow
I can¡¯t take it any longer
You got me shakin¡¯ all the way to my toes
REPEAT CHORUS
The street looks different tonight
Something has changed
I had this picture in mind
But it's just not the same
Had this great expectation
About a heart that's free
I thought that's what I wanted
Would be waiting for me
Chorus:
Baby something's missing tonight
Something ain't feeling right
Baby something's wrong and I'm so confused
Baby something's missing inside
Something I can't find in the night
I finally realized what I'm missing is you
In this crowd of old friends
Why do I feel alone
I thought I'd fall back in step
This is where I belong
I thought that freedom was a voice
Calling from the dark
Now I see I was only free
When you were in my heart
Chorus
I thought that freedom was a voice
Calling from the dark
Now I see I was only free
When you were in my heart
Chorus
Oh girl you know where to find me
Oh girl you know where I'll be
I'll be waitin' at the end of your line
'Cause baby I've got nothin' but time
Oh girl you know where to find me
It was love at first glance
I asked you may I have this dance
You said you would I froze right where I stood
I come here every night
Oh there's nobody special in my life
So if you think you'd like to
Find someone to hold you some night
Oh girl you know where to find me
Oh girl you know where I'll be
I'll be waitin' at the end of your line
'Cause baby I've got nothin' but time
Oh girl you know where to find meOh girl you know where to find me
Oh girl you know where I'll be
I'll be waitin' at the end of your line
'Cause baby I've got nothin' but time
Oh girl you know where to find me
Oh girl you know where to find me
A little girl was cryin'
for her mama and her daddy
She couldn't understand why they were gone
She never knew the danger
Of talking to a stranger
Now the girl can't find her way back home
A little boy went walkin'
Down to the corner market
To buy a loaf of bread and an ince cream cone
He never knew the dnager
Of talkin' to a stranger
Now the boy can't find the way back home
Chorus:
Too many kids are missin'
Is anybody listening?
Won't you be the children's eyes
They're all alone
The hardest part's not knowing
Where they are or where they're going
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
The faces on milk cartons
Thrown away and soon forgotten
What if one of those sweet kids
Was your very own
Tonight those kids are weeping
While yours are safely sleeping
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
Chorus
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
Give me half a chance to make you love me
Give me half a chance to make you stay
Give me half a chance before you leave me
Half a chance before you turn and walk away
I'm holdin' on just like you told me
I put my heart right on the line
You know your love it really sold me
But I never had the chance to make you mine
Give me half a chance to make you love me
Give me half a chance to make you stay
Give me half a chance before you leave me
Half a chance before you turn and walk away
You said you'd never say it's over
Well, I guess my heart can't beat your pride
You said I'd always be your lover
But you're gone and my tears still haven't dried
Give me half a chance to make you love me
Give me half a chance to make you stay
Give me half a chance before you leave me
Half a chance before you turn and walk away
True love is understated
True love is being known
Oh I've never felt so connected
And two hearts have found a home
Chorus:
And no matter how we struggle
Oh I'll answer when you call
And we'll walk away from trouble
And live to tell it all
Safe in my arms I'll keep you
Never more to roam
And I promise to lay down beside you
When our names are carved in stone
(Repeat chorus twice)
I didn't know how love would come around
Walked right up to me and knocked me down
I dropped straight down on my knees
Asked my little girl - honey won't you help me please
Chorus:
Let her in
Let my heart feel love again
Let her in
Don't you know how long it's been
Let her in
Let come and be my friend
Baby please won't you let her in
I know it's hard for you since your mama's been gone
It must be strange to see me carry on
Honey just try to understand
It takes to the love of a woman to complete the heart of a man
(Repeat chorus three times)
Don't come cryin' to me when it's over
Don't you come knockin'' at my door
Don't come cryin' to me I won't be waiting
Like I've done a hundred times before
You promised you'd love me forever
Now it's all over town you've changed your mind
You'll call me and say "let's get together"
But I'm sorry I won't take you back this time
Don't come cryin' to me when it's over
Don't you come knockin'' at my door
Don't come cryin' to me I won't be waiting
Like I've done a hundred times before
Like I've done a hundred times before
Love sure is something no one can explain
It can bring you such joy, it can bring you pain
And with every emotion, love puts us through
There's nothing you can say, when love finds you
Love is the power that makes your heart beat
It can make you move mountains, make you drop to your knees
When it finally hits you, you won't know what to do
There's nothin' you can say, when love finds you
Chorus:
Give it all you can give it, when your love comes around
If you put your heart in it, then it won't let you down
You'll find out it's true, baby, someday when love finds you
And when you least expect it, it will finally come true
There's nothing you can say when love finds you
Repeat Chorus
You'll find out it's true, baby, someday when love finds you
I've been sittin' here talkin' at you all night long
Now honey you still come off cool
Well you could have walked away instead you're leadin' me on
Lucy who you tryin' to fool
Chorus:
Yeah, Lucy Dee
You ain't got to run that line on me
Well it's plain to see
That you ain't all that you're made out to be
Well you can tell all your friends
That you finally met your equal, Lucy Dee
You've known all along just what I'm talkin' about
Well you knew someday there'd come a man
Who wouldn't keep on givin' 'til he finally gave out
Lucy, honey, here I stand
Chorus
Well you tell me you've known every thrill there is to know
And nothin' in this life comes free... nothin'
Well you tell me you've been every way there is to go
Lucy you ain't been with me
Chorus
Poor Lucy Dee
Oh baby when you came walkin' in
I went crazy wonderin' where you been
I think maybe I just fell in love again
Chorus:
She ain't no Peggy Sue, sweet Mary Lou
She ain't no Maybeline, pretty miss Norma Jean
But I'd give up everything
For just one dance with you
Oh baby I sure like the way you move
I go crazy when you shake that thing the way you do
You think maybe I could have a dance with you
(Chorus x2)
I took chance, I took a fall
Waited on love 'til I could give it my all
Then I let my heart fly
Took a rose to her door
Stood there like a statue just sort of frozen by her presence
But I shyed (not sure of this line...)
Chorus:
Ain't it always that way
When you want to believe
Ain't it always that way
When you want and you need
Ain't it always that way
When you want to rely
Ain't it always that way
When you want and you need and you cry
Yes and then I took a space out of time
I don't wanna sound like a thief but the moment was mine And I stole it, it felt right
I took a chance, took a fall
Waited on love until I could give it my all
Then I let my heart fly
Chorus
Ain't it always that way
When you want to believe
Ain't it always that way
When you want and you need and you cry
My dad was a man with two hard workin' hands
He always took time out for me
Well, I'd come home from school, load up that canoe
He'd say, "What's the bet gonna be?"
We'd float that boat down old Whippoorwill River
Catch us a big one or two
Well, he taught me about life
And its simple pleasures, whatever else that he knew
Then I met a girl with a head full of curls
A pure and innocent heart
Oh, I knew she was the one and when weekends would come
Wild horses couldn't keep us apart
We'd run those ponies down Whippoorwill River
And I'd steal a sweet kiss or two
She taught me about love
And its simple pleasures, whatever else that she knew
Well, I married that girl and we have a son
And he looks like my daddy used to
Oh, his mom and I, always find time
To do things that he likes to do
Well, he loves to go fishing on Whippoorwill River
And ride in his granddad's canoe
We teach him about life
And its simple pleasures and pass down a memory or two
Yeah, he loves to go fishing on Whippoorwill River
And catch him a big one or two
He's learning about life
And its simple pleasures and making a memory or two
Love sure is something no one can explain
It can bring you such joy, it can bring you pain
And with every emotion, love puts us through
There's nothing you can say, when love finds you
Love is the power that makes your heart beat
It can make you move mountains, make you drop to your knees
When it finally hits you, you won't know what to do
There's nothin' you can say, when love finds you
Give it all you can give it, when your love comes around
If you put your heart in it, then it won't let you down
You'll find out it's true, baby, someday when love finds you
And when you least expect it, it will finally come true
There's nothing you can say when love finds you
Give it all you can give it, when your love comes around
If you put your heart in it, then it won't let you down
You'll find out it's true, I promise you soon
Baby someday when love finds you
You'll find out it's true, baby, someday when love finds you
It ain't about you, it ain't about me
It's about this love we found that has to be
'Cause I never questioned that look in your eyes
And you never doubted how I felt inside
We found passion and grace in each other's face
And our heart's will now beat as one
For we both know a place where our souls have embraced
I think it's what they all call love
This gift you've given humbles me
True companions we'll always be
So long we've waited to feel what we feel
We've finally tasted something that's real
We found passion and grace in each other's face
And our heart's will now beat as one
For we both know a place where our souls have embraced
I think it's what they all call love
We found passion and grace in each other's face
And our heart's will now beat as one
For we both know a place where our souls have embraced
I think it's what they all call love, I think it's what they all call love
It's 6:05 a.m. on Sunday mornin'
And I was supposed to left for Memphis late last night
But I stopped at one of them old highway places
And 'cause I did, I'll sleep in Tarrant County Jail tonight
Well, I started out tonight with good intentions
But I ended up gettin' sideways drinkin' wine
Well, the last thing I remember we was rollin'
Somethin' hit my head and knocked me from my conscious mind
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place I don't belong, alright
I said, "Jailor, hey, what y'all got me charged with?"
Well, he looked at me and halfway closed one eye
Well, he said to me, ?To say, you don't remember
Cuttin' up some fool with that bone handled knife?"
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place I don't belong
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
I lose myself in this place
Strangest smile on my face
The hand of blessing or beginner's luck
Here I stand on the rock of your love
Somethin' steady sure feels good
I always knew somehow it would
I've traded chains for the wings of a dove
Standin' on the rock of your love
Let the storm clouds roll
Let the rain flood my soul
I'll still be here when the trouble's done
Standin' on the rock of your love
If this ol' world should fade away
If I've got you I ain't afraid
I will face whatever comes
Standin' on the rock of your love
Let the storm clouds roll
Let the rain flood my soul
I'll still be here when the trouble's done
Standin' on the rock of your love
I'll still be here when the trouble's done
Standin' on the rock of your love
Lying here in this sleepy town
Listening to the sun go down
The only one who hears the sound
Is you
You look at life so wild and free
I love the way you smile at me
The only love I'll ever need
Is you
I need you
To start a clear blue mornin'
I need you
At the end of a long hard day
I've never seen you wear a frown
Blues don't even come around
The only love I've ever found is you
We don't go much of anywhere
Sunday church and county fairs
The world looks good from these rocking chairs
It's true
Be my woman, I'll be your man
We'll go through life hand in hand
All I want to understand
Is you
I need you
To start a clear blue mornin'
I need you
At the end of a long hard day
I've never seen you wear a frown
Blues don't even come around
The only love I've ever found is you
I've never seen you wear a frown
Blues don't even hang around
The only love I've ever found is you
The street looks different tonight
Something has changed
I had this picture in mind
But it's just not the same
Had this great expectation
About a heart that's free
Thought that's what I wanted
Would be waiting for me
Baby something's missing tonight
Something ain't feeling right
Baby something's wrong and I'm so confused
Baby something's missing inside
Something I can't find in the night
I finally realized what I'm missing is you
In this crowd of old friends
Why do I feel alone?
I thought I'd fall back in step
This is where I belong
I thought that freedom was a voice
Calling from the dark
Now I see I was only free
When you were in my heart
Baby something's missing tonight
Something ain't feeling right
Baby something's wrong and I'm so confused
Baby something's missing inside
Something I can't find in the night
I finally realized what I'm missing is you
I thought that freedom was a voice
Calling from the dark
Now I see I was only free
When you were in my heart
Baby something's missing tonight
Something ain't feeling right
Baby something's wrong and I'm so confused
Baby something's missing inside
Something I can't find in the night
I finally realized what I'm missing is you
Baby something's missing tonight
Baby something's missing tonight
Baby something's missing inside
Baby something's missing tonight
Do you ever think of me
When you lay your head down?
Do you ever think of me
When he ain't around?
Do you ever wonder why
Our love couldn't be?
Ever since you said goodbye
Do you ever think of me?
Savannah
The memory just won't fade
Savannah
I sure wish you'd stayed with me
Savannah
Do you ever see my face
In your new lover's eyes?
Has my memory been erased
Am I out of your life?
I still remember our first night
We made love so tenderly
So when he doesn't hold you right
Do you ever think of me?
Savannah
The memory just won't fade
Savannah
I sure wish you'd stayed with me
Savannah
If he ever lets you down
Happiness just can't be found
I'll still be here hangin' 'round
Savannah
Savannah
(Do you ever think of me?)
Savannah
(Do you ever think of me?)
Savannah
(Do you ever think of me?)
How could she dance that slow bandera
Shuffle to some cowboy hustle
How she makes those trophy buckles
Shine, shine, shine
Wild eyed and Mexican silvered
Trickin' dumb ol' cousin Willard
Into thinkin' that he's got her this time
Hill country holky tonkin' Rita Ballou
Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
Backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou
Ain't a cowboy in Texas would not ride a bull for you
She's a rawhide, rope, and velvet mixture
Walkin' talkin' Texas texture
High timin' barroom fixture kind of a girl
She's the queen of the cowboys
Look at ol' Willard grinnin' now boys
You'd a thought there's less fools in this world
Hill country holky tonkin' Rita Ballou
Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
Backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou
Ain't a cowboy in Texas would not ride a bull for you
So good luck Willard and here's to ya
And here's to Rita and I hope she'll do ya
Right all night
Lord I wish I was the fool in your jeans
Hill country holky tonkin' Rita Ballou
Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
Backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou
Ain't a cowboy in Texas would not ride a bull for you
Hill country holky tonkin' Rita Ballou
Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
Backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou
Every little whisper, every little sound
Brings me comfort whenever you?re around
A heart full of wonder and sweet reverie
Gives me a reason, a reason to believe
Forever?s just begun
We?ll never turn and run
Slowly we?ve become one, oh, one
Slowly we?ve become one
Love the way we?re different, way we?re the same
Makin' love to each other is like shelter from the rain
Isn?t it amazing? What I see in your eyes
I?ll be your partner and never leave your side
Forever?s just begun
We?ll never turn and run
Slowly we?ve become one, oh, one
Slowly we?ve become one
Forever?s just begun
We?ll never turn and run
Slowly we?ve become one, oh, one
Slowly we?ve become one, oh, one
Slowly we?ve become one
Well it's rainin' down in Houston and I got holes in both my shoes
Baby's put me on the street she says I'm through with you
She thinks I'm gonna miss her someone tell her that she's wrong
I'm goin' back to Oklahoma, boys 'cause that's where I belong
I need one good ride I'll be satisfied
Come on Oklahoma borderline
If we roll all night she'll be comin' into sight
Come on Oklahoma borderline
Well now I don't need no Texas girl doggin' me around
I may be a Okie, son but I've still been to town
Well those Oklahoma city girls they always treat you right
Well tell mama that I'm comin' home and I'm leavin' out tonight
I need one good ride I'll be satisfied
Come on Oklahoma borderline
If we roll all night she'll be comin' into sight
Come on Oklahoma borderline
So with two bucks in my pocket and my thumb stuck in the wind
When I cross red river, boys I won't be back again
Give me old back roads and truck stops and 18 wheels that whine
And some good ol' boy to take me to that Oklahoma line
I need one good ride I'll be satisfied
Come on Oklahoma borderline
If we roll all night she'll be comin' into sight
Come on Oklahoma borderline
I caught one good ride she's comin' into sight
Molly Brown, waits for me
In a little one-horse town
And Boley, Oklahoma
Where white folks don't come around
I'm thinkin' about you, Molly
I'm forbidden to come 'round
Lord knows I love you, Molly
Molly Brown
Molly Brown, Molly Brown
Lay down by my side
Show me how you spread your wings
And let that pony ride
I'm crazy about you, Molly
I don't care that your skin is brown
Lord knows I need you, Molly
Molly Brown
Molly Brown
Oh, Molly Brown
We met down by the river
She wore her wedding gown
I never saw it coming
And no one heard the sound
My daddy used both barrels
And left me there to drown
Lord knows I'd die for Molly
Molly Brown
Molly Brown, Molly Brown
Don't you weep for me
I'm going to a place the Lord
Prepared for you and me
I'll meet you up in Heaven
Upon that Holy ground
I'll be waitin' for you, Molly
Molly Brown
Molly Brown, Molly Brown, Molly Brown
Lord, I'll be waitin' up in Heavenly
We've been friends for a long, long time
And you had your lover and I had mine
One night I looked at you and I think we both knew
Some night I'd hold you in my arms
Maybe tonight we'll find each other
Maybe tonight you'll turn around and I'll be there
If the timing is right we could finally get together
We might just fall in love and it may be tonight
Two hearts on fire can't live like this
A burning desire we can't resist
Who's gonna break the ice, who's gonna roll the dice
All it would take is just one kiss
Maybe tonight we'll find each other
Maybe tonight you'll turn around and I'll be there
If the timing is right we could finally get together
We might just fall in love and it may be tonight
Maybe tonight we'll find each other
Maybe tonight you'll turn around and I'll be there
If the timing is right we could finally get together
We might just fall in love and it may be tonight
Maybe tonight we'll find each other
Maybe tonight you'll turn around and I'll be there
If the timing is right we could finally get together
We might just fall in love and it may be tonight
I?ve been sittin? here talkin? at you all night long
Honey you still come off cool
Well you could have walked away instead you?re leadin? me on
Lucy who you tryin? to fool
Yeah, Lucy Dee
You ain?t got to run that line on me
Well it?s plain to see
That you ain?t all that you?re made out to be
Well you can tell all your friends
That you finally met your equal, Lucy Dee
You?ve known all along just what I?m talkin? about
Well you knew someday there?d come a man
Who wouldn?t keep on givin? ?til he finally gave out
Lucy, honey, here I stand
Yeah, Lucy Dee
You ain?t got to run that line on me
Well it?s plain to see
That you ain?t all that you?re made out to be
Well you can tell all your friends
You finally met your equal, Lucy Dee
Well you tell me you?ve known every thrill that there is to know
And nothin? in this life comes free nothin?
Well you tell me you?ve been every way that there is to go
Lucy you ain?t been with me
Yeah, Lucy Dee
You ain?t got to run that line on me
Well it?s plain to see
That you ain?t all that you?re made out to be
Well you can tell all your friends
That you finally met your equal, Lucy Dee
Well, every morning when I wake up
And I see you without your makeup
And you still take me breath away
There ain't no grass that's any greener
I know there's nothing sweeter
Than how you make me feel this way
When I look in your eyes, any fool could realize
Love's standin' right in front of me
When the world's in such a hurry
But I don't have to worry
'Cause I found what they're lookin' for
She whispers, ?Baby, lay your head down?
Slips off that flannel nightgown
How could any man ever wish for more?
When I look in your eyes, any fool could realize
Love's standin' right in front of me
When I see your face and I know I've found my place
Love's standin' right in front of me
When I look in your eyes, any fool could realize
Love's standin' right in front of me
When I see your face and I know I've found my place
Love's standin' right in front of me
Love's standin' right in front of me, baby
And our love I see ain't goin' nowhere, baby
Love's standin' right in front of me
When I see your face and I know I've found my place
If I didn't have you in my world
What a lonely place my world would be
If I didn't have you in my world
I think, I'd just pack up and leave
It seems like I've waited a lifetime
To find someone special like you
If you ever walked out of my life
I don't know what I would do
'Cause if I didn't have you in my world
What a lonely place my world would be
If I didn't have you in my world
I think, I'd just pack up and leave
You gave me a reason for livin'
The first time I looked in your eyes
I shudder to think what might happen
If you ever told me goodbye
'Cause if I didn't have you in my world
What a lonely place my world would be
If I didn't have you in my world
I think, I'd just pack up and leave
If I didn't have you in my world
When the Texas moon is shining down on Austin
When it shines across the Rio Grande
When it comes to makin' love under the stars above
Well honey, I'll take Texas every time
We danced in every ballroom down in Beaumont
And we strolled the river walk in San Antone
And it's where we fell in love like to young turtle doves
Well honey, I'll take Texas every time
When it comes to makin' love under the stars above
Honey, I'll take Texas
Yeah honey, you know I'll take Texas
I've sung along with a thousand songs
That talked about goodbye
Of letting go of what you love so
Trying to sleep at night
'Bout how you'd cry when you decide
To final walk away
Babe, I swear I never thought
I'd ever see this day
So this is how lonely looks
And how that final feels
Funny how it only took
Goodbye to make it real
I never knew that losing you
Would tear my world apart
Who could've known I'd be alone
With just my broken heart
So this is how lonely looks
And how that final feels
Funny how it only took
Goodbye to make it real
So this is how lonely looks
And how that final feels
Funny how it only took
Goodbye to make it real
So this is how lonely looks
And how that final feels
Funny how it only took
It's been a long day
Tell me how you've been?
Sorry, it's so late
Here we go again
We're sitting here together
Your hand in mine
I could stay here forever
Given more time
Given more time to laugh and dance
Given more time to have the chance
To show you this is where, I want to be
That old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me
Honey, how was your day?
Did you spend it on the run?
I know the kids are okay
Thanks for getting things done
In a few more hours
The sun's gonna shine
I wish, I had the power
To be given more time
Given more time to laugh and dance
Given more time to have the chance
To show you this is where I want to be
That old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me
That old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me
Given more time to laugh and dance
But that old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me
Yeah
Given more time to laugh and dance
More time to have the chance
To show you this where, I want to be
Oh, that old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me
Girl, you can trust me with your heart
We've got a chance for a brand new start
Part of your past was so cold and dark
Girl, you can trust me with your heart
Girl, I will never turn away
Give you my word I will always stay
I promise to honor and obey
Girl, I will never turn away
Let's throw caution to the wind
Take what comes around the bend
Girl, you will never hurt again
It's the safest place you've ever been
Girl, I'm asking for your hand
Down on my knees with this golden band
I swear, I will be a gentle man
Girl, I'm asking for your hand
Let's throw caution to the wind
Take what comes around the bend
Girl, you will never hurt again
It's the safest place you've ever been
Let's throw caution to the wind
Take what comes around the bend
Girl, you will never hurt again
It's the safest place you've ever been
I swear, I will be a faithful man
Girl, you can trust me with your heart
We've got a chance for a brand new start
Part of your past was so cold and dark
Girl, you can trust me with your heart
Girl, I will never turn away
Give you my word I will always stay
I promise to honor and obey
Girl, I will never turn away
Let's throw caution to the wind
Take what comes around the bend
Girl, you will never hurt again
It's the safest place you've ever been
Girl, I'm asking for your hand
Down on my knees with this golden band
I swear, I will be a gentle man
Girl, I'm asking for your hand
Let's throw caution to the wind
Take what comes around the bend

Take what comes around the bend
Girl, you will never hurt again
It's the safest place you've ever been
I swear, I will be a faithful man
Oh, I'm drawn to you like a burnin' flame
But somebody's waitin' that bears my name
Oh, Lord knows I'd love to love you
'Cause you know I'm just a man
But I can't, not from where I stand
You see I made a promise when I put on that ring
And I plan to keep it, babe it's a sacred thing
Well, heaven knows I'm tempted
I hope you understand
That I can't, not from where I stand
Oh, from where I stand, there's a golden band
And I swear I couldn't stand to lose it all
So, I better run while I still can
'Cause I can't babe, not from where I stand
Oh, no, no babe
Oh, from where I stand, there's a golden band
And I swear I couldn't stand to lose it all
So, I better run while I still can
'Cause I can't babe, not from where I stand
No I can't babe, not from where I stand
Love ain't for the faint of heart
Timid and the weak
Pour me one more on the rocks
And baby, we'll just see
We'll start a fire, you pour the wine
Slip on in to these arms of mine
Love ain't for the faint of heart
Love's for you and me
Ooh, what a rush when you kiss me that way
Ooh, your touch is gonna drive me crazy
Ooh, what a night this has been
Baby, let's do it again
Love ain't for the faint of heart
Love's for you and me
Ooh, what a rush when you kiss me that way
Ooh, your touch is gonna drive me crazy
Ooh, what a night this has been
Baby, let's do it again
Love ain't for the faint of heart
Love's for you and me
Love ain't for the faint of heart
Love's for you and me
When I told my baby
Do what you wanna do
Well I had no idea
Just what she'd put me through
Every night she's runnin' 'round
Singin' songs in your hometown
There ain't no one to love me
When the sun goes down
Well, she's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
I shoulda kept her barefoot
Barefoot and pregnant all the time
I used to be the first in line
Now I've fallen way behind
She's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
All that country club money
Lord it sure looked good to me, yeah it did
Playin' golf with those fat cats
How much better could life be
They all think I've got it made
They see your face on every page
Of every magazine
Across the USA
Well, she's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
I shoulda kept her barefoot
Barefoot and pregnant all the time
I used to be the first in line
Now I've fallen way behind
She's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
If you see her tell her hi
And everything will be all right
Tell her that I love her
'Til the day I die
Well, she's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
I shoulda kept her barefoot
Barefoot and pregnant all the time
I used to be the first in line
Now I've fallen way behind
She's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
I'm puttin' on my favorite cowboy boots
Like a crazy bull rider comin' out of the chute
I'm ready for some dancin', maybe too much beer
Little bare-back rubbin's goin' on in here
Hey little cowgirl, leave the Stetson on
Let's cowboy up and down, honey, all night long
She said her name was Levitra Marcantonio
I'm a bare back rider, okie, don't you know?
These frozen margaritas are goin' to my head
I could not believe it when Levitra said
?Hey Mr. Cowboy, come on and take me home
Gonna cowboy up and down, honey, all night long?
All night long, oh, you're comin' on strong
All night long, come on and do me wrong, do me wrong, baby
Hey little cowgirl, leave just your Stetson on
Gonna cowboy up and down, honey, all night long
Hey little cowgirl, leave just your Stetson on
Say you're sorry
You still care
She came by my place again
Cryin' about you man
You should love her
Twice as much
I try to remember you're a friend
But it's gettin' a little rough
She's just tired of bein' Cinderella
She can't live that way no more
She needs a little affection, a little understanding
You better be careful 'cause the next time
She comes to my door she won't be a Cinderella no more
A teardrop trembled
On her face
Where that smile always was
It seemed out of place
When I held her
Like a friend
I could feel a sweet beginning
But taste a bitter end
She's just tired of bein' Cinderella
She can't live that way no more
She needs a little affection, a little understanding
You better be careful 'cause the next time
She comes to my door you'll be sorry
'Cause it seems like
It's always something with you
And everybody's always wrong
One of these nights
You'll reach for the pillow she sleeps on
And she's gonna be gone
She's just tired of bein' Cinderella
She can't live that way no more
She needs a little affection, a little understanding
And you better be careful 'cause the next time
She comes to my door you'll be sorry
She's just tired of bein' Cinderella
She can't live that way no more
She needs a little affection, a little understanding
And you better be careful 'cause the next time
She comes to my door you'll be sorry
He was sitting in the corner
At a table all alone
A candle burnin' in the darkness
His glass of wine was almost gone
And something about him felt familiar
And it made me stop and stare
The way he held his hands before him
Looked like he was lost in prayer
Hey son, what are you lookin' at?
Why do your eyes look so sad?
There's somethin' in the way he sat there
It made me think about my dad
I'm lookin' for the answer
Just like everyone
I know that there's no ending
To the love between a father and the son
Hey son, why don't you pull up one of those empty chairs?
Bring it over here by my side
Buy me a glass of wine
This looks like a real good place to hide
You know I've always been a fisherman
Fishin' for souls along the way
You kind of remind me of my only son
And I lost him 33 years ago today
I'm lookin' for the answer
Just like everyone
I know that there's no ending
To the love between a father and the son
There's somethin' I must give you
The compass that my father made
It'll point you in the right direction
In case you ever lose your way
You know I've got somethin' here in my pocket
This is little silver cross
I think my son would want you to have it
When you think all the hope is lost
We're lookin' for the answer
Just like everyone
We know that there's no ending
To the love between a father and the son
I left him sitting at his table
But I didn't feel alone
For a moment I could see the light
Oh, we were almost home
For a moment I could see the light
Now I ain't the best lookin' guy in the world
And I ain't got much money at all
But when our eyes met, I'll never forget
And for you I could easily fall
So why don't we just keep on dancin'
While the band sings an old country song
Well, I won't be depressed if I ain't the best
But will I do 'til the best comes along
I ain't got a mansion on some mountain top
And I ain't got no long limousine
But I've got a heart as warm as the sun
And could love you like you've never seen
So why don't we just keep on dancin'
While the band sings an old country song
Well, I won't be depressed if I ain't the best
But will I do 'til the best comes along
No, I won't be depressed if I ain't the best

When I find a new Girl, that I want for mine.
She always breaks my heart in 2,
Happens every time.
I've been made blue,
I've been lied to.
When will I be Loved?
When I find a new girl, that I want for mine.
She always breaks my heart in 2.
Happens every time..
I've been cheated, been mistreated.
When will I be loved?
When will I be loved?
When will I be loved?
Stars are falling from your eyes
You don't feel what I feel inside
Your hand is warm but your heart is cold
If you're hurtin' you don't let it show
How much longer can we go on
Actin' like there's nothin' wrong
How much farther can we drift apart
Before all the feeling is gone
Chorus:
I'm losing your love
It's slippin' away
Minute by minute
Day by day
losing your love
Don't you think I know
It's a matter of time
'Til you let go
I see the moon shinin' up above
Reminded me how good it was
There's a chill comin' over me
Why can't it be like it used to be
I feel so helpless, I can't make you stay
No matter how hard I try
I can't deny that look in your eyes
Tryin' to tell me goodbye
Chorus
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
have you ever been down to Texas
down around San Antone
the love to go all night and treat you right
and party til the cows come home
CHORUS:
i love it when they let their hair down
and dance real close to you
you know i'm a sucker baby for what the cowgirls do
what the cowgirls do
they ain't no different up in Oklahoma
they ain't afraid to stay up til dawn
they love to cut a rug and chug a lug
longnecks til their money's all gone
REPEAT CHORUS:
there's cowgirls all across the country
from Baton Rouge to Bangor Maine
it ain't hard to see they'll be the death of me
they're gonna drive my little heart insane
REPEAT CHORUS:
If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter sweet memories
That is all I am taking with me
Goodbye, please don't you cry
'Cause we both know I'm not what you need
But I will always love you
I will always love you
I hope life (I hope life)
Treats you kind (treats you kind)
And I hope you have all you dream of
I wish you joy (wish you joy)
And happiness (and happiness)
But above all this I wish you love
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Yes, I will always love you
I will always love you
Chorus:
Well I never really knew you til you said goodbye
You said it's finally over, here's the reasons why
You said you've heard enough of all those little lies
I never really knew you til you said goodbye
I thought I made you happy but you've proved me wrong
I thought I was the one that really turned you on
When I came home tonight all my things were gone
I guess gettin' over me didn't take you long
(Repeat chorus twice)
Well, you said you'd heard enough of all those little lies
I never really knew you til you said goodbye
No I never really knew you til you said goodbye
What if I say I love you
Would it mean as much as it used to
Could it help the hurt that we're putting us through
What if I said goodbye
What if tomorrow you wake up
And I'm not around what you break up
Would you take one towards me to make up
What if I said goodbye
What would you do if I did what I should have done long ago
Is there someone you'd turn to as soon as I left
Someone you already know
What if I say I love you
Would you want to make up like I do
Could we possibly salvage the dreams we knew
What if I said goodbye
What would you do if I did what I should have done long ago
Is there someone you'd turn to as soon as I left
Someone you already know
What if I say I love you
Would it mean as much as used to
Could it help the hurt that we're putting us through
What if I said goodbye
There's no need to hide anything
Baby just know what you bring
Will always be enough
All of those things that you do
Are the reasons that I fell for you
And why, I believe in us
CHORUS:
Baby shoot straight from your heart
You'll never miss your mark
Baby always shoot straight from your heart
Let truth be the path that you choose
There ain't no way we can lose
Baby always shoot straight from your heart
We're gonna make some mistakes
‘Cause baby I sure ain't no saint
I swear I'm in for the long haul
It dosen't matter how far
I love you just how you are
I will answer when you call
REPEAT CHORUS
Long, long ago.
In a world dark and cold,
Night so still, winter's chill.
One bright star was shining.
On a bed made of hay, in a manger He lay.
Shepherds came, they knew His name.
King of Kings, a brand new day.
Chorus:
They saw the Light in the darkness
it shines on us in tenderness.
It brings out the hope that's in all of us.
May it shine It's light on you this Christmas Night.
On this Christmas day
May that star light your way
This Christmas Eve , I still believe
That same star still shines on me.
Repeat Chorus:
(Dusty Owens)
Once more to be with you dear
Just for tonight to hold you tight
Once more I'd give up a fortune
If I could see you once more
Forget the past, this hurt can't last
Oh I don't want it to keep us apart
Your love I'll crave, I'll be your slave
If you'll just give me all of your heart
Once more to be with you dear
Just for tonight to hold you tight
Once more I'd give a fortune
If I could see you once more
Once more
Over the ground lies a mantel of white
A heaven of diamonds
Shine down through the night
Two hearts are thrilling
In spite of the chilling weather . . .
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
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, are you married, we'll say, no man
But you can do the job while you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
I can just see us now
You and me paintin' the town
Forever just foolin' around
With you
Just think of the things we'd do
Baby just me and you
My heart can finally be true
With you
Chorus:
With you
And you with me
Is all that I can see
It ain't no mystery
I long to always be
With you
With you
I wanna be with you
I see you in every dream
Girl in my eyes you're queen
My happiness you could bring
With you
So what are you waitin' on
Just say the word and we're gone
I'll be right where I belong
With you
Chorus
Oh, darlin'
I'm so in love with you
I'll keep on callin'
'Til you make my dream come true
I can just see us now
You and me paintin' the town
Forever just foolin' around
With you
Just you
Just you and me, baby
I wanna be with you
Just you, baby
I wanna be with just you
I wanna be
I wanna be
I wanna be with you, baby
I wanna be with you
Just you and me, baby
[Vince Gill, Reed Nielsen]
I kow it ain't none of my business
When it comes to the affairs of your heart
It's really hard for me to say this
But you trouble's gettin' ready to start
Well I've heard you say how much you love him
You think someday you'll be his bride
Baby, you just can't trust him
'Cause I've known the boy all of my life
Chorus:
So you better think twice before you roll the dice
You better think twice before you give you heart away
You really must think I'm something
Talkin' trash about my best friend
I just hate to se eyou wind up with nothing
'Cause you're way too good for him
And I know that you don't believe me
But I've been with him when he's runnin' around
He don't mean to hurt nobody
He ain't never gonna settle down
Repeat Chorus
You better think twice
You better think twice
You better think twice
You better think twice
If we have to wait forever that's all right
If you say let's run away we'll leave tonight
I'd do anything you ever asked me to
Girl the reason my heart's beating is for you
And you alone
There's a price to pay for every choice you make
We'll have our day no matter what it takes
I'll be there for you whatever we go through
Girl the reason life's worth living is for you
And you alone
Oh you and you alone are with me from now on
Even if I never see your face again
The love that you have shown is unlike anything I've known
We both know it's just a matter of when
I wish that we could just turn back the hands of time
And find a way to have your world fit into mine
I'll keep dreaming that someday it all comes true
Girl the reason my heart's breaking is for you
We won't dance no more
We won't shine out on the floor
We won't sway the band won't play
We won't dance
I kid you not we were hot
When the weekend came we'd dance non-stop
No jitterbug no substitute
No twist and turn no crasha nd burn
Could top us two
We won't dance no more
We won't shine out on the floor
We won't sway the band won't play
We won't dance
As I dipped you down in your yellow dress
We'd brush the floor in a slow caress
As minutes turned to a rising sun
We'd leave the day to rest
Our dancing done
We won't dance no more
We won't shine out on the floor
We won't sway the band won't play
We won't dance
If I were God and controlled what is
I'd steal your shoes so you couldn't dance with his
Well I'm not all that I could be
But you'll never dance with him
The way you danced with me
We won't dance no more
We won't dance no more
Well I'm not all that I could be
But you'll never dance with him
The way you danced with me
We won't dance no more
We won't shine out on the floor
We won't sway the band won't play
We won't dance
We won't dance no more
We won't shine out on the floor
We won't sway the band won't play
We won't dance
'Til The Season Comes Round Again
(John Jarvis, Randy Goodrum)
Come and gather 'round at the table
In the spirit of family and friends
And we'll all join hands and remember this moment
'Til the season comes 'round again
So let us smile for the picture
And we'll hold it as long as we can
May it carry us through should we ever get lonely
'Til the season comes 'round again
Bridge:
One night, holy and bright
Shining with love from our hearts
By a warm fire let's lift our hands high
And be thankful were here 'til this time next year
May the new year be blessed with good tidings
'Til the next time I see you again
If we must say goodbye let the spirit go with you
'Til the season comes 'round again
Repeat Bridge
May the new year be blessed with good tidings
'Til the next time I see you again
And we'll all join hands and remember this moment
And we'll love and we'll laugh in the time that we have
'Til the season comes 'round again
'Til the season comes 'round again
This old guitar and me
And the things that we've been through
C.F. Martin built him
Back in nineteen fourty-two
I remember when we met
I was only seventeen
I spent all my college money
On a half a dozen strings
I thought my folks would kill me
I found out I was wrong
They said your future's written on your face
When you sing those travelin' songs
So we headed for Kentucky
With a suitcase full of dreams
My rough-out books, a few t-shirts
A worn out pair of jeans
Ooh...
This old guitar and me
We spent a lot of nights alone
Well, sometimes we'd get lucky
And take bar maid home
One night stands for breakfast
Two strangers with the blues
We'd wake up in the morning
And both feel a little used
Well, home was just a highway
We'd roam from town to town
Just me and that old flattop
Not caring where we're bound
>From Maine to California
With a five piece travelin' band
Singin' songs about the hard times
That face the common man
Ooh...
This old guitar and me
Lord, we did the best we could
One was born a sinner
And one a piece of wood
God sent a wooden angel
To guide me on my way
We were meant to be together
Until my dyin' day
Well, now my dearest old companion
Lies underneath my bed
Well, our travelin' days are over
Man, but the memories fill my head
Well, I've settled with my family
Here in the hills of Tennessee
To teach my children's children
'Bout this old guitar and me
Ooh...
Rain rain come on down
You're so welcome at my door
Come on down and ease the pain
I never hurt this bad before
Tears keep falling from my eyes
And all I do is walk the floor
It's not too hard to realize
There's not much love here anymore
Rain rain come blowin' in
Come wash these tears away again
Leavin's cut me to the core
There's not much love here anymore
Rain rain come blowin' in
Come wash these tears away again
Leavin's cut me to the core
There's not much love here anymore
Rain rain come blowin' in
Come wash these tears away my friend
Leavin's cut me to the core
There's not much love here anymore
Why do I choose the things I choose?
Why do I always find some lame excuse?
And why do I not realize what I could do?
Oh, I wish I knew the reason why
Why do you get that sad look on your face?
And why do you pull away from my embrace?
And why do you see all my faults and my mistakes?
Oh, I wish you knew the reason why
Why do we treat each other like we do?
It's like we never even tried
Why can't we get back to the love we knew?
Oh, why? Oh baby, why?
Why do we have to play the same old games?
And why do we run away from who's to blame?
And can't we see to lose this love would be a shame?
Oh, I wish we knew the reason why
(Ralph Stanley, Carter Stanley)
I sit here alone on the banks of the river
The lonesome wind blows the water rolls high
I hear a voice calling out there in the darkness
I sit here alone too lonesome to cry
Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight
I sit on the shore to grieve and to cry
The woman I love she left me this morning
With no one to love or kiss me goodnight
We met there one night by the banks of the river
Sat there holding hands and making our vows
Swore we'd never part and be happy together
But a new love she's found she's gone from me now
I'd love to hear my daddy play once again
All the songs that he taught me when I was a kid
'John Henry, ol' shep and faded love
I fall to pieces and on the wings of a dove'
Just a few chords on the banjo that was all he knew
But in the eyes of a child, man, his fingers flew
I practiced and I practiced 'til I got it right
Packed up everything and just took off one night
I made it from the beer joints to the Opry stage
He said the only difference is what you're gettin' paid
He didn't care that everybody knew my name
He said it's all for nothin' if you don't stay the same
But when he died the preacher cried and said, "He's the lucky one
He's walkin' hand in hand, in hand with God's only son"
My faith and common sense tell me the preacher's right
But I'd love to hear the banjo ring for me tonight
And I will honor my father with these words I write down
As long as I remember him he'll always be around
And the pain of losin' him cuts like a Randall knife
I learned a few chords on the banjo as the key to life
And the pain of losin' him cuts like a Randall knife
I was born in Guilford County
Way back up in the pines
It's where I hold the sweetest memories
In the hills of Caroline
My daddy wasn't much of nothin'
He spent his life doin' time
But mama learned me about Jesus
In the hills of Caroline
I met a girl, her name was Hattie
Fair and tender, sweet and kind
She showed me how to love a woman
In the hills of Caroline
I always thought that we would marry
One sweet day she would be mine
But Hattie's gone to live with Jesus
In the hills of Caroline
If I should die before tomorrow
Just one request if you don't mind
Just bury me right next to Hattie
In the hills of Caroline
Just bury me right next to Hattie
(Reba)
Looking back over the years
Of all the things I've always meant to say
But the words didnt come easily
So many times, through empty fears
Of all the nights I tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering
You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
(Refarin)
Cause the heart wont lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But theres one thing that wont change
I know, I tried
The hear wont lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see your lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart wont lie
(Vince)
Long after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio?
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after the night, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly through the four winds
Blown and gone
Will you come back to me?
You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
(Refrain)
Cause the heart wont lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But theres one thing that wont change
I know, I tried
The hear wont lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see your lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart wont lie
The heart wont lie
My heart it is aching you should be ashamed
The children are crying and calling your name
Well since you went away dear, I've felt so all alone
Well you left me the children but you've broken up our home
But you couldn't stop your cheating or running around
And now my friends are talking 'bout how you let them down
Well oh mommy oh daddy I think that it's a shame
Well I know you both love me but I don't know who's to blame
But you couldn't stop your cheating or running around
And now my friends are talking 'bout how you let them down
(Don Helms, Merle 'Red' Taylor)
Who makes me forget all the other girls I've met
Sweet little miss blue eyes
Who's sweeter to me that she really ought to be
Sweet little miss blue eyes
Little miss blue eyes looks so good
I'm gonna bring her to the neighborhood
I'm gonna make every girl in town
Jealous when she's around
I'm walking the line 'cause I'm glad that she's mine
I'm living in paradise
I know I can't go wrong by just stringing along
With sweet little miss blue eyes
Who's gonna start taking care of my heart
She makes me realize
It's love, she's for me, and I really want to be
With sweet little miss blue eyes
the street looks different tonight
something has changed
had this picture in mind
but its just not the same
had this great expectaion
bout a heart thats free
thought that what i wanted
would be waitin for me
baby somethings missin tonight

I wipe a tear away
As I give up this day
Wonderin' if I'll ever find someone
And when I close my eyes and dream
These are the words I'm whispering
Someday Love Will Come
I won't have a doubt
My head up in the clouds
An' certain as the morning sun
I will always believe
There's somebody just for me
Someday Love Will Come
(chorus)
Someday
After all these nights of waiting
Someday
I'll find a chance worth taking
Saving
From waking up alone
My heart will find a home...
Someday
And she'll be soo beautiful
The sweetest miracle
Someday Love Will Come
(chorus)
And when I close my eyes an' dream
These are the words I'm whispering
Someday Love Will Come
...Somday Love Will Come.......
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 Savior, is born!
Christ the Savior, 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.
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth...
How could she dance that slow bandera
Shuffle to some cowboy hustle
How she makes those trophy buckles shine, shine, shine
Wild-eyed and Mexican silvered
Trickin' dumb ol' Cousin Willard
Into thinkin' that he's got her this time
Hill country holky tonkin' Rita Ballou
Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
Backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou
Ain't a cowboy in Texas would not ride a bull for you
She's a rawhide, rope, and velvet mixture
Walkin' talkin' Texas texture
High timin' barroom fixture kind of a girl
She's the Queen of the Cowboys
Look at ol' Willard grinnin' now boys You'd a thought there's less fools in this world
Hill country holky tonkin' Rita Ballou
Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
Backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou
Ain't a cowboy in Texas would not ride a bull for you
So good luck Willard and here's to ya
And here's to Rita and I hope she'll do ya
Right all night
Lord I wish I was the fool in your jeans
Hill country holky tonkin' Rita Ballou
Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
Backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou
Ain't a cowboy in Texas would not ride a bull for you
Hill country holky tonkin' Rita Ballou
Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
Backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou
Ain't a cowboy in Texas would not ride a bull for you
Driving all night too many miles to go
Pedal tot he metal listenin' to the radio
I got three days to get from Cheyenne to San Antone
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
My back side's sore and I'm movin' kinda slow
But when I hit Okie City there's a barrel racer that I know
A little home cookin' and some lovin' to heal my bones
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
Ride cowboy ride hold on for your life
Eight seconds is a long long time when you're sitting on dynamite
You can't make money buddy if get thrown
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
Well I might get lucky down in San Antone
Find a little Texas girl I could call my own
That lone star lovin's the best I've ever known
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
Ride cowboy ride hold on for your life
Eight seconds is a long long time when you're sitting on dynamite
You can't make money buddy if get thrown
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
I've seen the way he cast his spell
He's gonna hurt you, I can tell
Just to prove that he can be your lover
He's gonna turn on that charm
Tonight he'll wrap you in his arms
Tomorrow he will leave you for another
Pretty is as pretty does
That's how it is and always was
Pretty words are all he's givin' you
And when he whispers in the dark
Watch out, he's gonna break your heart
'Cause pretty words won't make your dreams come true
They're just pretty words, just pretty words
In the morning you will find
That you were just the next in line
There's nothing I can do that's gonna stop you
Before you go, just let me say
I'd never treat your love that way
I'll be here long after he's forgot you
Pretty is as pretty does
That's how it is and always was
Pretty words are all he's givin' you
And when he whispers in the dark
Watch out, he's gonna break your heart
'Cause pretty words won't make your dreams come true
They're just pretty words
Pretty is as pretty does
That's how it is and always was
Pretty words are all he's givin' you
And when he whispers in the dark
Watch out, he's gonna break your heart
Pretty words won't make your dreams come true
They're just pretty words
Just pretty words
Just pretty words
He slipped the ring off his finger
When he walked in the room
And he found him some stranger
And promised her the moon
How many lies you must have told
You think you're a rich man
With your pocket full of gold
And for another man's treasure
You'd say anything
But is one night of pleasure
Worth the trouble you'll bring?
Don't look so surprised
'Cause son, I should know
'Cause I once was a rich man
With my pocket full of gold
Some night you're gonna wind up
On the wrong end of a gun
Some jealous guy's gonna show up
And you'll pay for what you've done
What will it say on your tombstone?
Here lies a rich man
With his pocket full of gold
Yeah, here lies a rich man
She was standing at the front door
When I came home last night
A good book in her left hand
And a rollin' pin in the right
She said you've come home for the last time
With whiskey on your breath
If you don't listen to my preachin' boy
I'm goin' to have to beat you half to death
Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through
I know I drive you crazy baby
It's the best that I can do
We're just some good ol' boys, a makin' noise
I ain't a runnin' 'round on you
Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through
First she hid my glasses
'Cause she knows that I can't see
She said you ain't goin' nowhere boy
'Til you spend a little time with me
Then the boys called from the honky tonk
Said there's a party goin' on down here
Well she might've took my car keys
But she forgot about my old John Deere
So give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through
I know I drive you crazy baby
It's the best that I can do
We're just some good ol' boys, a makin' noise
I ain't a runnin' 'round on you
Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through
(Vince Gill / Leslie Satcher)
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Play an old time fiddle song
I might even drink just a little
If you play Little Jolie Blon
If you're lookin' or me
I'm liable to be
In the middle of the ol' dance floor
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore
First Chorus:
I wanna throw down on a hoe down
Hanging with the people I know
Hear the sweet sound
Of a breakdown
When you put a little rosin on the bow
Y'all come on over when the sun goes down
Bang on the ol' screen door
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore
I miss ol' Herman Stover
Playin' Listen To The Mockingbird
It was Piedmont, Oklahoma
It was the sweetest sound I ever heard
Skinny ol' man in a cowboy band
You could barely get the people in the door
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore
Second Chorus:
I wanna throw down on a hoe down
Hanging with the people I know
Hear the sweet sound
Of a breakdown
When you put a little rosin on the bow
Play diggy diggy li
Diggy diggy lo
The a little Cotten-Eyed Joe
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore
First chorus,
Y'all come on over when the sun goes down
Bang on the ol' screen door
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore
(Jimmy Martin, Paul Williams)

My walking shoes don't fit me anymore
My walking shoes don't fit me anymore
Stay on your side of town, honey, I won't be around
My walking shoes don't fit me anymore
It's long way from here to over yonder
My feet they're getting mighty sore
I ain't coming back you've made your mind to wander
My walking shoes don't fit me anymore
[Refrain]
I'll be a longtime gone from you baby
You'll never here me knock upon your door
I thought you were worth it once but I was crazy
My walking shoes don't fit me anymore
[Refrain]
You don't need diamonds or big fancy cars
You say you're happy right where you are
We're bound together by a little gold band
You're my kind of woman
Oh, you're my kind of man
Oh, living without you is my only fear
You still drive me crazy when I hold you near
My boudy trembles with the touch of your hand
You're my kind of woman
Oh, you're my kind of man
chorus:
You're my kind of woman
You're my kind of man
A match made in heaven
By God's gentle hands
I'll love you forever
Together we'll stand
You're my kind of woman
You're my kind of man
(repeat chorus)
You're my kind of woman
And you're my kind of man
You say tomorrow you're going
It's so hard for me to believe
I'm making plans for the heartaches
'Cause you're making plans to leave
The tears for me will be falling
Like a tree shedding its leaves
I'm making plans for the tear drops
'Cause you're making plans to leave
You're making plans to forget me
I'm making plans to miss you
I'm getting ready ti grieve
I'm making plans to be lonesome
'Cause you're making plans to leave
I'm making plans to be lonesome
'Cause you're making plans to leave
I wake up one morning and it's passed you by.
Don't know when and you don't know why.
I feel like an old memory hangin' round.
An' man, you've got to face it, it's a young man's town.
I knew this day was comin' all along.
Some why bitch an' moan and say they done you wrong.
Just teach 'em what you know an' pass it on down,
'Cause man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town.
It's a young man's town,
Full of young man's dreams.
An' all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings.
An' sometimes you gotta stand back,
An' watch 'em burn it to the ground,
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town.
You always seem to be the last to know.
Man, that's just the way that the story goes.
There's nothin' you can do when the fields have turned brown.
An' man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town.
It's a young man's town,
Full of young man's dreams.
An' all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings.
An' sometimes you gotta stand back,
An' watch 'em burn it to the ground.
An' even though you built it, it's a young man's town.
Sometimes you gotta stand back,
An' watch 'em burn it to the ground.
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town.
It's a young man's town.
Well I've gont to stop livin' the way I do
And give my heart back to you
All those nights away from home
Caused my lonely heart to roam
Now I've got start livin' the way I do
I've spent a lifetime hurting you
And I expect someday you'll say we're through
It ain't two late for me to change
So please dono't write our final page
Still I've got to stop livin' the way I do
I've gone from honeymoons to heartaches
From faithful love to a fool
From hangin' out in honkey tonks
With any girl but you
Well I've got to stop livin' the way I do
And give my heart back to you
All those nights away from home
Caused my lonely heart to roam
Now I've got to stop livin' the way I do
I've said all that I can say
But you turned and walked away
It's too late to stop livin' the way I do
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me
Let There Be Peace on Earth
The peace that was meant to be
With God as our Father
Brothers all are we
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.
With ev'ry step I take
Let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment and live
Each moment in peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me

LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!
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!
Hey! It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
And when we finally kiss 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
Hey! and, Honey, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Album: All Star Country Christmas [Hip-O]
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold:
Peace on the earth, good will to men,
From heaven's all-gracious King.
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
--- Instrumental ---
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing!
Hear the angels sing!..
In these last few days, you've been on my mind
An' we should get together an' talk about old times
An' put the past behind us before life slips away
I've been thinkin' 'bout you in these last few days
In these last few days, I have felt my age
I wish that I was younger but time has turned the page
I sure miss the water and the rhythm of the waves
I've been feelin' fragile in these last few days
But I have been a father, a husband and a son
Lookin' back is bitter sweet, now that my race has run
I've tried to be a witness from the cradle to the grave
Time has felt so precious in these last few days
In these last few days, I've seen the light
And I'll be waitin' for you on the other side
My old friend, I love you, that's really all there's left to say
Lay down here beside me in these last few days
My old friend, I'll miss you but I'm trying to be brave
Nothin' to do in this lonely town
Your daddy warned me, "Son, you come around" Says I ain't good enough for you
He don't know what I'm goin' through
Chorus:
Let's do something
Sneak out your bedroom window, girl
And we'll be gone
Let's do something
Oh, baby, let's do something
Even if it's wrong
Go see the preacher 'cross the couty line
For 25 dollars he could make you mine
My heart's on fire, can't you feel it burn
I'm past the point of no return
Chorus
I'll make your daddy understand
Oh, Lord, I know I can make him understand
I'll face your daddy man to man
No guts, no glory, girl, I'll take that chance
Chorus X 2
No other lover ever really cared
When I've reached out for you you've always been there
Now I'm so far away and baby I'm scared
I never knew lonely til you
You are my rock and the strength I need
To keep me sane in this life that I lead
Now I'm not with you and my broken heart bleeds
I never knew lonely til you
I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
I never knew lonely til you
I can't make up for the times I've been gone
But I'll prove I love you in the words of this song
Back in your arms girl it's where I belong
I never knew lonely til you
I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
I never knew lonely til you
Look at us baby
Up all night
Tearin' our love apart
Aren't we the same two people
Who lived through years in the dark
Every time I try to walk away
Somethin' makes me turn and stay
I can't tell you why
When we get crazy
It just ain't right
(Try to keep your head on, girl)
'Cause girl I get lonely too
You don't have to worry
Just hold on tight
(Don't get caught in your little world)
'Cause I love you
Nothin's wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to be
I can't tell you why
No, baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
Every time I try to walk away
Somethin' makes me turn around and stay
I can't tell you why
No, baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why... yeah
No, baby
Ooooh, I can't tell you why
The cold wind was blowin' through your hair
That's when I saw you, saw you standin' there
Can't hold back... the love I have for you. Gotta give you all I've got
What else can I do?... What can I do?
Met you at the doorstep, said won't you come inside?
Hope this lovely lady, take me for a ride
Can't hold back... the love I have for you. Gotta give you all I've got
What else can I do?... What can I do?
I see your glass is empty an' I know what's on your mind
Wrap your arms around me, let me make you mine
Can't hold back... the love I have for you. Gotta give you all I've got
What else can I do?... What can I do?
Hot corn cold corn bring along the demijohn

Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can't beat home, sweet home.
I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin' for Pennsylvania
And some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks a travelin' down
To Dixie's sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee
The traffic is terrific.
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you can't beat home, sweet home.
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you can't beat home, sweet home.
I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin' for Pennsylvania
And some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks a travelin' down
To Dixie's sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee
The traffic is terrific.
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can't beat home, sweet home.
Sweet home, You can't beat home sweet home...
(Ralph Stanley, Avril Gearheart)
Troubles and trials often betray those
Causing the weary body to stray
But we shall walk beside the still water
With the good shepherd leading the way
Going up home to live in green pastures
Where we shall live and die never more
Even the Lord will be in that number
When we have reached that heavenly shore
Those who have strayed were sought by the master
He who once gave his life for the sheep
Out on the mountain still He is searching
Bringing them in forever to keep
We will not heed the voice of the stranger
For he would lead us on to despair
Following home with Jesus our savior
We shall all reach that country so fair
(T.Seals/J.McBee/M.Barnes)
If love should come again from you
You could never count the ways of things I'd say an' do
And I would be more of a man than I've ever been
If I ever have the chance to be lovin' you again
I have been a fool...
That's what I am... I don't wanna lose you
What can I do...
My life ain't worth livin' if my love ain't worth givin' to you
An' all I wanna say is you're all I need
Hands like the sunshine touch me at the right time you're the air I breathe
An' I would be more of a man than I've ever been
If I ever have the chance to be lovin' you again
I've been a fool...
That's what I am... I don't wanna lose you
What can I do...
My life ain't worth livin' if my love ain't worth givin' to you
Well I've been a fool...
That's what I am... I don't wanna lose you
What can I do...
My life ain't worth livin' if my love ain't worth givin' to you
I've been a fool...
That's what I am... I don't wanna lose you
What can I do...
My life ain't worth livin' if my love ain't worth givin' to you...
[Instrumental]
We've been up
All night long
Trying to solve a problem
Hell it's almost dawn
Ain't no time for sleepin'
If our love is wearin' thin
'Cause I ain't givin' up
And you ain't givin' in
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
'Cause the life we've been livin'
Gets harder everyday
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
A wounded love
Walks a real thin line
And no communication
Will kill it every time
So open up your heart
Baby we can work it out
'Cause we've got the kind of love
People dream about
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
'Cause the life we've been livin'
Gets harder everyday
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
It's past the point of right or wrong
Let's find a way to just hold on
"Do You Hear What I Hear"
Do you hear what I hear
Do you hear what I hear
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
Everyone, come together
Pray together, stay together
Celebrate the coming other king
All my sisters, all my brothers
Come together, love one another
Join me now, every voice and sing
Do You Hear What I Hear?
(Traditional Christmas)
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 the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
Everybody, come together
Pray together, stay together
Everybody, come together
Stay together, celebrate together
Everybody, come together
Pray together, stay together
Everybody, come together
Stay together, celebrate together
[Instrumental]
I know I said I'd change for you
But I think I've changed my mind
If I can't be what you want me to
Then we're just wastin' time
Well, I'm doin' the best I can
Remember I'm just a man
And if my best ain't good enough
Baby that's tough, baby that's tough
I thought love was 50/50
This just don't add up
You always take more than you give me
Is that the new math or what
Well, I can bend but please don't break me
I'm just as fragile as you
You don't have to try and make me
Jump when you tell me to
Well, I'm doin' the best I can
Remember I'm just a man
And if my best ain't good enough
Baby that's tough, baby that's tough
Well, I'm doin' the best I can
Remember I'm just a man
And if my best ain't good enough
Baby that's tough, baby that's tough
Well, I'm doin' the best I can
Remember I'm just a man
And if my best ain't good enough
Baby that's tough, baby that's tough
Is it any wonder I hold you so tight?
It's because we never promised
One more day or night
Remember...
There will never be another you, another me
Another life for us to live
To give each other all we give
Time goes by so fast, I wanna make each moment last
I wanna hold you close to me and show you
All our love can be
I won't let go too easily
There will never be another you and me
I know love can hurt us, and love can make us fly
I know I was born to love you
Until the day I die
Believe me...
There will never be another you, another me
Another life for us to live
To give each other all we give
Time goes by so fast, I wanna make each moment last
I wanna hold you close to me and show you
All our love can be
I won't let go too easily
There will never be another you and me
I can see why you think you belong to me
I never tried to make you think
Or let you see one thing for yourself
But now your off with someone else and I'm alone
You see, I thought that I might keep you for my own
Amie, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do
Don't you think the time is right for us to find
All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time?
And can you see
Which way we should turn together or alone?
I can never see whats right or what is wrong
(Will it take to long to see?)
Amie, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do
[break]
Well now
Amie what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do
Now it's come to what you want, you've had your way
And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
And can you see
That I don't know if it's you or if it's me?
If it's one of us I'm sure we'll both will see
(Won't you look at me and tell me?)
Amie, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer
Longer if I do
Amie, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do
I keep fallin' in and out of love with you
Fallin' in and out of love with you
Don't know what I'm gonna do
I'd keep fallin' in and out of love
With you
Come on in and take your coat off
Come on in and sit down
If I seem a little nervous
I've been walkin' shaky ground
I've been alone since she left me
And I'm not quite sure what to do
So if I call her name I'm sorry
It's all those years are hard to lose
Chorus:
All those years with just one woman
Was all gone in just a day
All those years with just one woman
Makes it hard to try to find a brand new way
After all those years
I guess I should take down her picture
And try to put your mind at ease
And tell myself it's really over
And put aside this misery
The song bird yearns to sing a love song,
The roses yearns just for the dew.
The whole world's yearning for the sunshine,
I have a yearning too.
(Chorus)
Yearning just for you, that's all I do, my dear.
Learning why I'm blue, I wish that you were here.
Smiles have turned to tears, days have turned to years.
Yearning just for you, that's all I do, my dear.
(repeat)
When shadows fall and stars are beaming,
'tis then I miss you most of all.
I go to sleep and start in dreaming,
It seems I hear you call.
(chorus)
(Jesse McReynolds, Jim McReynolds)
I'll never love anybody but you, baby, baby
I'll never love anybody but you if you'll be my girl
Oh yes believe me it's true
Oh yes, I'll love nobody but you
I'll always be true to you, baby, baby
I'll always be true to you if you'll be my girl
Oh yes believe me it's true
Oh yes, I'll love nobody but you
I'll take you out every night, baby, baby
I'll take you out if you'll be my girl
Oh yes believe me it's true
Oh yes, I'll love nobody but you
(Ira Louvin, Charlie Louvin)
Darling I am all alone in our little mountain home
It's lonely cold and loveless now inside
For your childish vows of love lasted only one short year
Then you went away to be another's bride
You will never know the pain
That I felt the day you left
Should you ever wed again
Let me wish you love and wealth
For that same old whippoorwill breaks the silence on the hill
As I stand and gaze upon it's faded wall
Where your picture used to hang in a little golden frame
And the vision of your smile I still recall
