chorus-fade
If a star fell from the sky for every time you told a lie
There wouldn't be a star left in the blue
Ain't no river long enough or wide enough or deep enough
To hold all of the tears I've cried for you
I hate the lies but love the liar can't help myself what can I do
I hate the lies love the liar so much that I convince my heart they're true
And I just can't stop loving you
[ piano ]
If somebody wrote a song for every time you've done me wrong
The blues would be the only songs you'd hear
You come up with same excuse you smile at me and what's the use
Your voice is like a love song to my ear
I hate the lies...
[ strings ]
1. I took some time to clear my mind,
Give myself a change of atmosphere.
I had some fun lyin' in the sun.
Daytona's nice this time of year.
I saw lovers hand in hand
Building castles in the sand
And doin' all the things we did back then.
And just when I think I'm through loving you
You're back on my mind again.
Ch. Back on my mind time after time.
I wonder if this heart will ever mend.
'Cause just when I think I'm through loving you
You're back on my mind again.
2. I came out of my shell
I was really doing well.
I found someone who thinks the world of me.
She talks of rings, and whispers loving
things.
She's everything you'd want a girl to be.
But when she holds me tight
the feeling isn't right.
It looks as though I'm never gonna win.
And just when I think I'm through loving you
You're back on my mind again.
Chorus
I thumbed my way from L.A. back to Knoxville
I found out those bright lights ain't where I belong
From a phone booth in the rain I called to tell her
I've had a change of dreams, I'm comin' home
But tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone
Smokey mountain rain keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smokey mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin'
I can't go on hurtin' this way
She's somewhere in the smokey mountain rain
I waved a diesel down outside a cafe
He said that he was goin' as far as Gatlinburg
I climbed up in the cab, all wet and cold and lonely
I wiped my eyes and told him about her
I've got to find her, can you make these big wheels burn?
Smokey mountain rain keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smokey mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin'
I can't go on hurtin' this way
She's somewhere in the smokey mountain rain
I can't blame her for lettin' go
A woman needs someone warm to hold
I feel the rain runnin' down my face
I'll find her no matter what it takes
Smokey mountain rain keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smokey mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin'
I can't go on hurtin' this way
When you walked out on me,
In walked the misery.
And he's been here since then.
I don't have plans and schemes.
I don't have hopes and dreams.
I, I, I don't have anything,
Since I don't have you.
(since I don't have you)
I don't have fond desires.
And I don't have happy hours.
No, I don't have anything,
Since I don't have you.
I don't have Happiness and I guess
I never will ever again.
When you walked out on me,
In walked the misery,
And he's been here since then.
I don't have love to share.
I don't have one who cares.
No, I don't have anything,
Since I don't have you!
When you walked out on me,
In walked old misery.
And he's been here since then.
I don't have love to share.
And I don't have one who cares.
I don't have anything,
Since I don't have you-oooo!
You-oooo!
You-oooo!
Hear the rain on the window; I never noticed it so loud
And the ticking of the clock is making wall-shaking sounds
Was that noise just the icebox or you turning on the light?
3 AM as a fool tries to tell himself that you'll be back tonight
Silent night after the fight
Who's wrong or right; that don't matter anymore
Silent night after the fight
I can't stand the quiet since you walked out the door
I never knew a heartbeat could keep someone so wide awake
And when that board creaks in the hallway, I can see my mind about to break
Lying here without you the silence is so loud that I can't sleep
But the loudest sounds of all are the teardrops dripping down my cheek
Silent night after the fight
Who's wrong or right; that don't matter anymore
Silent night after the fight
I can't stand the quiet since you walked out the door
Drive all night up and down the highway
It may be a Monday but it feels like Friday
Pushing faster pulling her close
It doesn't matter to her where we go
She loves my car she loves my car
It's just a machine
She loves my car she loves my car
I wish she loved me
The way she loves my car
All that chrome that she combs her hair in
The rearview mirror that she loves to stare in
The heat of the engine the thrill of the ride
That's all I've got to keep her satisfied
She loves my car she loves my car
It's just a machine
She loves my car she loves my car
I wish she loved me the way she loves my car
Don't stop keep on rolling stop keep on rolling
Don't stop keep on rolling stop keep on rolling
'Til the dark we're going too far
She loves my car she loves my car
It's just a machine
She loves my car she loves my car
I wish she loved me the way she loves my car
She loves my car she loves my car
It's just a machine
She loves my car she loves my car
I wish she loved me the way she loves my car
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the water and the blood
From Thy wounded side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure
Could my tears forever flow?
Could my zeal no anger know?
This for sin could not atone
Thou must save and Thou alone
In my hand no prize I bring
Simply to Thy cross I cling
While I draw this fleeting breath
When my eyes shall close in death
When I rise to worlds unknown
And behold Thee on thy throne
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
REMEMBER TO REMIND ME (I'M LEAVING)
Writers Charles Quillen and Johnny Russell
You seem to know all the ways to hurt me
ou drag me down as only you can
I've choked on my pride till I filled up inside
And once again I've taken all I can stand
Remember to remind me I'm leaving it seems I always forget
Remember to remind me I'm leaving someday I may make it yet
I tell myself that today I'll be going
I pack my bags and rehearse what I'll say
But when you walk in it's I love you all over again
And I can't go I'll put it off one more day
Remember to remind me I'm leaving...
PUT A QUARTER IN THE JUKE BOX

WRITER BARRY MANILOW
Barry
She said she'd always love me She said she'd never leave me
Then I wake up this morning She's gone without a warning
Ronnie
I know what you've been through, pal My woman left me, too, pal
I'm drinking to what used to be Here's a toast the drink's on me
Both:
What this joint needs is some music Someone put a quarter in the jukebox
And we'll both forget about her Make the music louder
Someone put a quarter in the jukebox And we'll sing our cares away
Tomorrow is another day
Barry
It feels just like a dream
We were such a winning team
Oh, I'm sure it's true that love is blind
Cause leaving never crossed my mind
Ronnie
Another round on me, pal
I feel the same you see, pal
It's hard to face this endless day
I've got to drink the hurt away
Both:
Hey this joint needs some more music

Make the music louder
Someone put a quarter in the jukebox
And we'll sing our cares away

Barry
What'll I do with the nights now that she's gone
Ronnie

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary but I must travel on
Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well, the morning's so bright and the Lamb is the light
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes
There will be peace in the valley for me, someday
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord, I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow and no trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me
Oh well, the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild will be led by a child
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes
There will be peace in the valley for me, someday
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord, I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow and no trouble I see
(Oh, my Lordy)
There will be peace in the valley for me
Oh, there'll be no sadness, no sorrow and no trouble I see
(Oh, my Lordy)
ONLY ONE NIGHT OF THE YEAR
WRITER MIKE REID
There's a magic light in the stars tonight It shines with a wondrous glow There's a whisper of love in the silence of Gently falling snow There's cookies and milk on the table Ribbons on bright candy canes And every child who is able Has their nose to the window pane `Cause for only one night of the year You can see flying reindeer And if you believe in Christmas' Eve There's no telling who will appear With his whiskers and pipe He comes only one night of the year It's the sugar plum world of cinnamon swirls A hints of pinewood in the air As the church bell chimes about twelve times I slip into my easy chair To watch the fire die to an ember And drift into a winter dream Of a magical night in December And faith in a sight unseen And for only one night of the year You can see flying reindeer And if you believe in Christmas Eve There's no telling who will appear With his whiskers and pipe He comes only one night of the year Ummmm, if you believe in Christmas Eve Raise a glass of good cheer `Cause wish as we might It comes only one night of the year
So many times these few dreams of mine
Seem hidden behind a mountain too high to climb
But you were the one who said, "Go on follow your star"
When the song in my heart was just a voice in the dark
You could hear my melody
There's only one moon that shines in the night
And only one love in my life
Only one love in my life
Only one love in my life
I'm a ship on the open ocean
Darling you're my guiding light
The radio played my new song today
And I heard someone say, "Man, he sure got it made"
If only they know how much you have made of me
Together we came from nowhere to fame
And I never could have made it alone
For me there's only one moon that shines in the night
And only one love in my life
Only one love in my life
Only one love in my life
I'm a ship on the open ocean
Darling you're my guiding light
Yeah, only one love in my life yeah
Only one love in my life
I'm a ship on the open ocean
Darling you're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
NOT THAT I CARE
Writer Cindy Walker
So you saw her last night with her new love
Yes they tell me they make quite a pair
And that they both look happy together
I just wonder not that I care
Tell me did she look lovely as ever
Like an angel with golden hair
Does she still close her eyes when she dances
I just wonder not that I care
Once I thought I couldn't live without her
Funny how wrong I could be
Now I hardly ever think about her
What she does doesn't mean a thing to me
Well it's late so I guess I'll be going
Too much smoke what I need is some air
By the way did she ask you about me
I just wonder not that I care
I'll take a long vacation
I need a change of scenery
I'll see the sights; go out at night
There'll be no time for your memory
I'll get a new apartment
Make friends that don't know who you are
'Cause when I'm through, I'm really through
If I can just convince my heart
Oh, but my heart, says I'm not so smart
My heart tears my plans apart
My heart won't admit we're through
'Cause my heart; oh, my heart still belongs to you
I'll call some old phone numbers
And I'll throw a party for a star
I've made a vow, it's all over now
If I can just convince my heart
Oh, but my heart, says I'm not so smart
My hear tears my plans apart
My heart won't admit we're through
'Cause my heart; oh my heart still belongs to you
Oh, but my heart, says I'm not so smart
My hear tears my plans apart
Oh, my heart won't admit we're through
I want to know
If I walk down a certain road, it was my choice
And I want to know
If I had something to say, I raised my voice
I don't wanna wake up a little too late
And say I could've done this or I should've done that
When I close my eyes at night
I wanna know I'm doing the best I can
When I'm sittin' there
In my rocking chair, looking at my life
I hope to God I would've done
Something good with my life
At the end of the day, I can only pray
That I can look back and say
I lived my life, oh, I lived my life
Don't want to take my father's father's path
I gotta make my own
Don't want my epitaph to read
"Wish they could've known me"
I don't want that carved in stone
I want to leave this place
With a smile on my face
Knowing what's in my heart
Didn't just stay in my heart
And whatever heaven gave me
I want to know I gave it all back
When I'm sittin' there
In my rocking chair, looking at my life
I hope to God I would've done
Something good with my life
At the end of the day, I can only pray
That I can look back and say
I lived my life, oh, I lived my life
When I'm sittin' there
In my rocking chair, looking at my life
I hope to God I would've done
Something good with my life
At the end of the day, I can only pray
That I can look back and say
I lived my life, oh, I lived my life
Well, I want to be an open book
Say I gave more than I took
I'll take a long vacation
I need a change of scenery
I'll see the sights, go out at night
There'll be no time for your memory
I'll get a new apartment
Make friends that don't know who you are
'Cause when I'm through, I'm really through
If I can just convince my heart
Oh, but my heart, says I'm not so smart
My heart tears my plans apart
My heart won't admit we're through
'Cause my heart, oh, my heart still belongs to you
I'll call some old phone numbers
And I'll throw a party for a start
I've made a vow, it's all over now
If I can just convince my heart
Oh, but my heart, says I'm not so smart
My heart tears my plans apart
My heart won't admit we're through
?Cause my heart, oh, my heart still belongs to you
Oh, but my heart, says I'm not so smart
My heart tears my plans apart
Oh, my heart won't admit we're through
MY FUNNY VALENTINE
WRITERS LORENZ HART, RICHARD RODGERS
Behold the way our fine feathered friend, His virtue doth parade Thou knowest not, my dim-witted friend The picture thou hast made Thy vacant brow, and thy tousled hair Conceal thy good intent Thou noble upright truthful sincere, And slightly dopey gent You're my funny valentine, Sweet comic valentine, You make me smile with my heart. Your looks are laughable, un-photographable, Yet, you're my favorite work of art. Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak? When you open it to speak, are you smart? But, don't change a hair for me. Not if you care for me. Stay little valentine, stay! Each day is Valentine's Day Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak? When you open it to speak, are you smart? But, don't change a hair for me. Not if you care for me. Stay little valentine, stay! Each day is Valentine's Day
Don't call her up anymore
Cause I don't wanna hear your voice
I don't wanna see your face answer her door
Make no mistake, she's mine...she's mine
She only knows how I feel
I only know what she's like when she needs me
Oh, how she needs me..deep in the night
Make no mistake, she's mine..she's mine..no she's mine
Don't get too close when you dance
Cause I don't wanna hear from my friends
You were out on the town
With her in your arms, with her in your arms..her in your
arms
Don't include her in your dreams
I don't wanna close my eyes..no
I don't wanna know where she goes
Each night when she leaves me
Make no mistake ,make no mistake... she's mine,, she's
mine..no she's mine
Don't call her up anymore
No don't call her up anymore
MAKE BELIEVE
WRITERS JEROME KERN, OSCAT HAMMERSTEIN 11
The game of "just supposing" is the sweetest game I know, Our dreams are more romantic than the world we see. And if the things we dream about don't happen to be so, That's just an unimportant technicality.... We could make believe I love you, Only make believe that you love me. Others find peace of mind in pretending, Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we Make believe our lips are blending In a phantom kiss, or two, or three? Might as well make believe I love you, For to tell the truth, I do. Your pardon I pray, 'twas too much to say, The words that betray my heart. We only pretend, you do not offend, In playing a lover's part. Though the cold and brutal fact is you and I have never met, We need not mind convention's P's and Q's, If we put our thoughts in practice we can banish all regret Imagining most anything we choose.... We could make believe I love you, Only make believe that you love me. Others find peace of mind in pretending, Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we Make believe our lips are blending In a phantom kiss or two, or three? Might as well make believe I love you, For to tell the truth, I do.
LOVESICK BLUES
Writers Irving Mills - Cliff Friend
I got a feelin' called the blues oh Lord since my baby's said goodbye
Oh I don't know what I'll do all I do is sit and cry oh Lord
That last long day she said goodbye oh Lord I thought I'd cry
She'll do me she'll do you she's got that kinda lovin'
Lord I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful dream I hate to think it all over
I've lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to you somehow Lord I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
I'm lonesome I got the lovesick blues
Well I'm in love I'm in love with a beautiful gal that's what's the matter with me
I'm in love I'm in love with a beautiful gal but she don't care about me
Lord I tried and tried just to keep her satisfied but she just wouldn't stay
But now that she is leaving here's all I can say
I got a feelin' called the blues oh Lord since my baby's said goodbye
Oh I don't know what I'll do I've lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to you somehow Lord I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
I'm lonesome I got the lovesick blues
I've grown so used to you somehow Lord I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
I'm lonesome I got the lovesick blues
And I'm lonesome I got the lovesick blues
LOVERS FRIENDS AND STRANGERS
Writer Kent M. Robbins
Looking back into the world we knew
When love was such a sweet surprise
Was it beautiful how strangers came to lovers
Like magic right before our eyes
Strangers become friends and friends become lovers
But the same fire that warms the heart can burn
Then it's lovers friends strangers again
Ain't it funny how the circle turns
And looking back I'd do it all again
Although the story's sad but true
Even lovers can be strangers once again
Stranger still I keep on loving you
Strangers become friends...
LOVE TAKES A LONG TIME TO DIE
Writer Geoffrey Morgan
It's not over when you stop crying and it's the end when you say goodbye
And it's not finally done when you just walk away from someone
Cause love takes a long time it takes such a long time to die
There'll be times when you're alone you'll softly speak her name
Each one's just about left you one time
Daydreaming through the glass you'll see pictures from the past
Cause love takes a long time it takes such a long time to die
It's so hard to shut the door when mem'ries won't stay behind
They'll come around to remind you there's love still locked inside
CLOSE YOUR EYES BABY, FOLLOW MY HEART
CALL ON THE MEMORIES HERE IN THE DARK
WE'LL LET THE MAGIC TAKE US AWAY
BACK TO THE FEELING WE SHARED WHEN THEY'D PLAY
CHORUS:
IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT, HOLD ME DARLING
HOLD ME TIGHT, OH, SHOO-DOOP, SHOO-BE DOSHOO-DOOP,
SHOO-BE DOO BE DO, SHOO-DOOP
SHOO-DOOP, DOO; SO REAL, SO RIGHT
LOST IN THE FIFTIES TONIGHT
THESE PRECIOUS HOURS, WE KNOW WE CAN'T SURVIVE
LOVE'S ALL THAT MATTERS WHILE THE PAST IS ALIVE
NOW AND FOR ALWAYS, TILL TIME DISAPPEARS
WE'LL HOLD EACH OTHER WHENEVER WE HEAR
CHORUS
IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT, HOLD ME DARLING
HOLD ME TIGHT, OOH, SHOO-DOOP, SHOO-BE DO-BE DO
SHOO-DOOP, SHOO-BE DOO BE DO, SHOO-DOOP
SHOO-DOOP, DOO; SO REAL SO RIGHT
LOOKING OUT MY WINDOW THROUGH THE PAIN
Writer John Schweers
I watched from the window as she slipped from the house
Once again she's leaving but Lord she's not to blame
This morning a mem'ry phoned her and he's a habit she can't break
So till she returns I'll wait for her looking out my window through the pain
The devil drove the taxi that carried her away
And it hurts to know she's still hung up on some guy from yesterday
Once again she's chasing mem'ries and I'm losing everything
But Lord I love her so I'll wait for her looking out my window through the pain
I'll pick up her pieces when he lays her down again
With love and forgiveness I'll give her reasons to stay
Then I close my eyes pretending maybe someday she'll change
And when I won't be left lonely looking out my window through the pain
Well I've never been to New Orleans I don't even know what Creole means
But oh I love the way they play and sing down in the land of the voodoo queen
Oh I love New Orleans music Dixieland Sweet Jelly Roll
Oh I love New Orleans music I love it down to my soul
[ piano ]
Well I've heard about the Vieux Carre they dance all night and party all day
Laissez les bons tons rouler and let the music take your cares away
Oh I love New Orleans music...
They tell me you can hear it every night down along the Pontchartrain
When the band gets to cookin' and the feelin's right
It's enough to drive a man insane
[ sax ]
Oh I love New Orleans music...
(I tried to hate you right out of my mi-ind)
I hate you
Oh how I try-y to hate you
I get bitter
Every time you run through my mi-ind
Betwee-een love and hate
There's a little-le thin li-ine
And I'm try-ying to hate you
Right out of my mi-ind
Oh I hate you-ou
Each time I cry-y I hate you
Little drops of anger
Fa-all from my eye-eyes
You sai-aid that you love me
Tell me how could this fool be so bli-ind
And I'm try-ying to hate you
Right out of my mi-ind
Oh ain't it funny
How a hear-ear-eart
That loved you one time
Could be filled with so much anger
For you-ou and your kind
I hate you
Oh, how I try-y to hate you
I get bitter
Every time you run through my mi-ind
Betwee-een love and hate
There's a little-le thin li-ine
And I'm try-ying to hate you
Right out of my mi-ind (oh-oh-oh)
I'm try-yin' to hate you
I GOT HOME JUST IN TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
Writers Wayne Kemp - Bill Emerson
I woke up a thousand miles from home this morning
Sweaten from a bad dream that I had
I rode all night to get back home to you
I can't remember when I needed you this bad
And I got home just in time to see you leaving
And you walked out just in time to see me cry
What my eyes are seeing now I'm not believing
Cause I got home just in time to say goodbye
There he was standing right next to our roses
A half way between the door and the gate
I walk through that man just like I didn't know him
Cause after all a loser don't have much to say
And I got home just in time to see you leaving...
I'd like to be a fly on your wall
When you think you're all alone
Learn your secrets once and for all
Never tell no one
I can't read your mind
It's secret telling time
Tell me how do I turn you on?
Tell me how do I turn you on?
Maybe there's a game we could play
Is there something that you want? But you're too shy to say
How do I turn you on?
Turn you on to me
Ohh I could take you away
A million miles from here
When I'm getting close baby say
With a whisper in my ear
How to make you mine?
It's secret telling time
Tell me how do I turn you on?
Tell me how do I turn you on?
Maybe there's a game we could play
Is there something that you want? But you're too shy to say
How do I turn you on?
Turn you on to me
Just between you and me
I'm a little nervous too
But just beyond our wildest dreams
It's waiting for me, and it's waiting for you
Turn you on
Turn you on
Oh, oh, maybe there's a game we can play
Is there something that you want, but you're too shy to say
How do I turn you on?
Tell me how do I turn you on?
Tell me how do I turn you on?
Tell me how do I turn you on?
Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God Almighty
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity
Holy, holy, holy, though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy, there is no one beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love and purity
Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God Almighty
All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity
Have Thine own way, Lord, have Thine own way
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay
Mold me and make me after Thy will
While I am waiting yielded and still
Have Thine own way, Lord, have Thine own way
Search me and try me, Master, today
Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now
As in Thy presence humbly I bow
Have Thine own way, Lord, have Thine own way
Hold o'er my being absolute sway
Fill with Thy Spirit till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me
HAUNTED HEART
WRITERS HOWARD DIETZ, ARTHUR SCHWARTZ
In the night though we're apart, there's a ghost of you within my haunted heart.
Ghost of you, my lost romance, lips that laughed, eyes that shine.
Haunted heart won't let me be, dreams repeat a sweet but lonely song to me.
Dreams are just, it's you who must belong to me, and thrill my haunted heart,
EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE
WRITER COLE PORTER
Every time we say goodbye, I die a little
Every time we say goodbye, I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me, who must be in the know
Think so little of me that they allow you go
When your near there's such an air of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer but how strange
The change from major to minor
ALTOGETHER NOW LET'S FALL APART
(Johnny Koonse)
« © '72 Chess Music »
Lips are you ready to tremble hands are you ready to shake
Eyes get ready to cry heart get ready to break
Here she comes now she's gettin' closer is everyone ready to start
Altogether now let's fall apart
Nerves you'll be going to pieces tears you'll stream down my face
Head you'll be spinning around it's time every one take your place
We're all in this thing together my body my mind and my heart
Altogether now let's fall apart
I couldn't keep her from leaving though I tried oh Lord I tried
But heart you let me cheat then lips you went and lied
Here she comes now she's gettin' closer does everyone remember his part
Once in every life, someone comes along.
And you came to me, it was almost like a song.
You were in my arms, right where you belong.
And we were so in love, it was almost like a song.
January through December, we had such a perfect year.
But then the flame became a dying ember, all at once,
you weren't here.
Now my broken heart, cries for you each night.
And it was almost like a song, but it's much too sad to write.
Ending:
Now my broken heart, cries for you each night.
And it was almost like a song, but it's much too sad to write.
At five o'clock she knows I'll soon be home
And she don't worry 'bout me runnin' round
'Cause all of my good times are waitin' right there for me
And she knows where I'll be when the sun goes down
I'm a stand by my woman man
Our world turns around a little gold band
And love leads us through life, hand in hand
I'm a stand by my woman man
We fall asleep at night thinkin' ain't love grand
That's why I'm a stand by my woman man
When she's down, she knows I'll be beside her
'Cause I'm not just her lover, I'm her friend
Our love keeps gettin' better and I'll gladly spend forever
Standin' by the woman who stands by her man
I'm a stand by my woman man
Our world turns around a little gold band
And love leads us through life, hand in hand
I'm a stand by my woman man
We fall asleep at night thinkin' ain't love grand
That's why I'm a stand by my woman man
I'm a stand by my woman man
(Stand by your woman man)
We fall asleep at night thinkin' ain't love grand
That's why I'm a stand by my woman man
All together now let's fall apart
Lips, are you ready to tremble
Hands, are you ready to shake
Eyes, get ready to cry
Heart, get ready to break
Here she comes, she's gettin' closer
Is everyone ready to start?
Altogether now let's fall apart
Nerves, you'll be going to pieces
Tears, you'll run down my face
Head, you'll be spinning around
It's time every one take your place
We're all in this thing together
My body, my mind and my heart
Altogether now let's fall apart
I couldn't keep her from leaving
Though I tried, oh, Lord, how I tried
But she fell in love with somebody new
I guess that's him by her side
Here she comes now, she's gettin' closer
Does everyone remember your part
Altogether now let's fall apart
(Dougal Trineer)
The eyes I'm lookin' in ain't lookin' back at me
The lips I'm kissin' on ain't kissin' back at me
And it ain't very hard to seek your love for me is dyin'
And you're drivin' me out of your mind.
Well, a smile you used to wear ain't in the right place
There's a far away someone else look all over your face
And any fool as big as me can plainly read the signs
That you're drivin' me out of your mind.
My tears started falling when I saw leaving on your face
You looked up at the ceiling turned around and walked away
You don't have to draw me a picture 'cause honey, I ain't blind
Yes, you're drivin' me out of your mind.
--- Instrumental ---
You don't have to draw me a picture 'cause honey, I ain't blind
Yes, you're drivin' me out of your mind.
Yes, you're drivin' me out of your mind...
'Watch Out For The Other Guy'
You leave her alone every evening
You're late coming home every night
She's gotten tired of believing
And telling herself it's all right
You wouldn't know she's got somewhere to go
Somebody who'll treat her right
You've gotta watch out for the other guy
Chorus:
He'll drive you right out of her mind
He'll come up and hit you right from behind
You've gotta watch out for the other guy
You think that she's yours for the taking
You think that she'll always be there
She's got a heart for the breaking
She thinks that you just don't care
So go on and go..leave her alone
Don't take your eyes off of her
You've gotta watch out for the other guy
repeat chorus twice:
"Two Hearts Don't Always Make A Pair"
You loved him like you never loved before
And then one day he's walking out your door
You wanna cry your eyes out and you do
Only heaven knows the hell you're going through, but
Chorus:
Two hearts won't always beat as one
You think you have it wrapped up
And it all comes undone
A losin' hand is commonplace
But a winning hand is rare
Two hearts don't always make a pair
Every hand you hold looks low to you
'Cause you still can't deal with what he put you through
But you know in time you'll have to come around
'cause love is still the only game in town ....and
Snap your fingers, I'll come runnin'
Back to you on bended knee
Snap your fingers, I'll come runnin'
I'll be true, take a chance on me
Let your light turn green
Baby, I've gotta know
Give me some kind of clue
Should I stay or go?
Let me love you like the lover
That you used to know
Turn the key and let me in
Through that same old door
Oh I had it, but I lost it
Now I've got a broken heart to mend
But I don't care what the cost is
I've got to find my way back in
So you just snap your fingers
Baby, I'll come runnin'
I'll do anything
To get back again
Oh oh,I had it
(I had it)
Oh, but I've lost it
(I lost it)
Now I've got a broken heart to mend
(Heart to mend)
Baby listen, I don't care what the cost is
I've got to find my way back in
So you just snap your fingers
And baby I'll come runnin'
I'll do anything
I've told all my friends that I don't miss you
And it didn't hurt when you said goodbye
I said my love for you was over
Truth is, I've been known to lie
I said my heart was never close to breaking
And your mem'ry only stayed a while
I've never dreamed we'd get back together
Truth is, I've been known to lie
I've said that I don't need you
There's just no love at all..naw, naw
I haven't wished that you'd come back
Or even hoped you might call
Well..I've never come close to breaking up
Or had teardrops fill my eyes
And, I've never dreamed we'd get back together, baby
Truth is..I've been known to lie
I've said that I don't need you
Cause ther's just no love, there's just no love at all..no.no..no
And I haven't wished that you'd come back
Or even hoped you might call
Well, I've told all my friends that I don't miss you
And it didn't hurt when you said goodbye
And I said my love for you was over
The truth is..I've been known to lie
Ohhh... the truth is..I've been known to lie
I thumbed my way from LA back to Knoxville
I found out those bright lights aint where I belong
From a phone booth in the rain I called to tell her
I've had a change of dreams I'm comin' home
But tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone
Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searchin'
I can't go on hurtin' this way
She's somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain
I waved a diesel down outside a cafe'
He said that he was goin' as far as Gatlinburg
I climbed up in the cab all wet and cold and lonely
I wiped my eyes and told him about her
I've got to find her!
Can you make these big wheels burn?
Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searchin'
I can't go on hurtin' this way
She's somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain
I can't blame her for lettin' go
A woman needs someone warm to hold
I feel the rain runnin' down my face
I'll find her no matter what it takes!
Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searchin'
I can't go on hurtin' this way
She's somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain
You can tell her
That you love her,
A hundred different ways.
But it won't mean as much,
As just the right touch,
At just the right time of day.
You've got to show her a little each day.
Really show her, You mean what you say.
It's not enough just to tell her you love her.
If you want her to know you've got to let it show.
When her laughter turns to tears,
For reasons she can't explain.
Remember this that just one kiss,
Was all your love needs to say.
Go on and show her a little each day.
Really show her, You mean what you say.
It's not enough just to tell her you love her.
If you want her to know you've got to let it show.
So, if you can't live without her,
You better learn to let her know how you feel.
Just remember that you hold the power,
To tell her all that words can't reveal.
You've got to show her a little each day.
Really show her, You mean what you say.
It's not enough just to tell her you love her,
Pure love, baby it's pure love
Milk and honey and Captain Krunch and you in the mornin'
Pure love, baby it's pure love
Ninety nine and forty four one hundreds percent pure love
I wake up with sunshine
(Sunshine)
Layin' beside me
And bluebirds singin' right outside my window
Soft warm kisses
(Kisses)
Say good mornin'
Then I get breakfast in bed you know you make me so happy
(Make me so happy)
With pure love, baby it's pure love
Milk and honey and Captain Krunch and you in the mornin'
Pure love baby you're the picture of pure love
Ninety nine and forty four one hundreds percent pure love
Pure love, baby it's pure love
Milk and honey and Captain Krunch and you in the mornin'
Pure love, you're the picture of pure love
Ninety nine and forty four one hundreds percent pure love
Ninety nine and forty four one hundreds percent pure love
(Hillman Hall)
Would you look at what came down the road today
Wanting me to be one more mistake to make
A bridge to burn to get to someone knew
Hey, pass me by if you're only passing through.
You sure look like the traveling kind to me
Don't stop if this ain't where you want to be
Now I don't know what you think you've run into
Hey, pass me by if you're only passing through.
--- Instrumental ---
I'm not gonna be your stepping stone
Among the other hearts that you've walked on
Lord, help me if I fall in love with you
Hey, pass me by if you're only passing through.
You sure look like the traveling kind to me
Don't stop if this ain't where you want to be
Now I don't know what you think you've run into
Hey, pass me by if you're only passing through.
Pass me by if you're only passing through...
Call me a fool, send me away
I've got to say it's you I adore
Alone and in love, fallin' apart
I followed my heart straight to your door.
Face to face, with all honesty
I would be grateful if you'd give to me
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
To make every dream you ever had come true
Woh-oh, in one night
Oh, one night with you.
Standin' this close, the sound of your voice
Leaves me no choice, I offer my love
Am I so wrong to think you might fall
'Cause baby you're all I can think of.
Face to face, with all honesty
I would be grateful if you'd give to me
Just one night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
To make every dream you ever had come true
Woh-oh, in one night
Oh, one night with you.
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
For one night (one night)
To lay, to lay in your arms
One night (one night)
Could it be that I was born
For one night (one night)
I need one night (one night)
One night (one night)
To lay, to lay in your arms
One night (one night)
Could it be that I was born
For one night (one night)
Oh, give me one night
(One night, please, please, one night)...
Now you can walk out on me tonight
If you think that it ain't feeling right
But darling there ain't no gettin over me.
You can say that you need to be free
But there ain't no place that I won't be
Sweet darling there ain't no gettin over me.
I'll be the bill you forgot to pay
I'll be the dream that keeps you awake
I'll be the song on the radio
I'll be the reason that you tell the boys no
Don't you know.
You can tell everyone that were through
You might even believe it too
But darling there ain't no gettin over me
Sweet darling there ain't no gettin' over me.
I'll be the face that you see in a crowd
I'll be the times that you cry out loud
I'll be the smile when there's no one around
I'll be the book that you just can't put down.
So you can walk out on me tonight
If you think that it ain't feeling right
But darling there ain't no gettin over me
But darling there ain't no gettin over me.
(Written by Mike Reid, Troy Seals, and Fred Parris)
Close your eyes, baby, follow my heart,
Call on the mem'ries, here in the dark.
We'll let the magic take us away,
Back to the feeling we shared when they'd play.
Chorus:
In the still of the night, hold me darling,
Hold me tight, oh, shoo-doop, shoo-be do.
shoo-doop, doo; so real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight.
These precious hours, we know we can't survive
Love's all that matters while the past is alive.
Now and for always, till time disappears,
We'll hold each other whenever we hear:
Chorus:
In the still of the night, hold me darling,
Hold me tight, oh, shoo-doop, shoo-be do.
shoo-doop, doo; so real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight...
"It's Written All Over Your Face"
Is there a tear in that gleam in your eyes
Is there a reason for me to ask why
Don't say a word....cause you never could lie
Don't be afraid of what you can't hide
Bridge:
It's written all over your face
Someone has taken my place
And it's something you just can't erase
It's written all over your face
You look in my eyes, you want to be strong
But you don't feel a thing when the feeling is gone
It's not that it's right and it's not that it's wrong
I'll take care of you
Don't be sad, don't be blue
I'll never break your heart in two
I'll take care of you
I'll kiss your tears away
I'll end your lonely days
All that i'm tryin' to say
Is I'll take care of you
I want you to know that I love you so
I'm proud to tell the world you're mine
I said it before, I'll say it once more
You'll be in my heart 'til the end of time
I'll take care of you
Don't be sad, don't be blue
Just count on me your whole life through
Walk away, leave with my blessing
Once in a while let me hear from you
If we never meet again before my life is over
I'll leave this world loving you
You can take everything but my memories
For they're good ones and they'll see me through
If we never meet again I'll love you forever
I'll leave this world loving you
You were mine for a time and I'm thankful
Oh, but life will be so lonesome without you
If we never meet again this side of Heaven
I'll leave this world loving you
If we never meet again this side of Heaven
I turn on the radio and hear your favorite song
And all day long I hum the melody
When I see that special look
Between two people so in love
I remember how it was with you and me
Chorus:
Everywhere I turn there's your memory
The image of you burning up inside me
It's almost more than I can do
To think of anything but you
'Cause everywhere I turn there's your memory
If I go somewhere with friends
Someone's sure to mention you
Then some old familiar feeling steals back in
When I go to sleep at night you're still filling up my dreams
How I wish you could fill up my arms again
Repeat Chorus:
Woo - hoo - woo - ooo - ti - de
Woo - hoo - ooo - oop - i - de - de
Woo - hoo - woo - ooo - ti - de
Yod-el - od-el- lo - ti - de
The cattle are prowlin' the coyotes are howlin'
Way out where the dogies bawl
Where spurs are a-jinglin', a cowboy is singin'
This lonesome cattle call
Woo - hoo - woo - ooo - ti - de
Woo - hoo - ooo - oop - i - de - de
Woo - hoo - woo - ooo - ti - de
Yod-el - od-el- lo - ti - de
I heard the word going 'round town
They say that you're making a fool out of me
Baby, it took me some time to come around
To realize you were not what you seemed
Each day's passing, the clock's been my friend
Helped me get back on my feet again
Like the button off-a my shirt just an everyday distraction
You'd be over reacting if you think that I still hurt
You're just the button off-a my shirt and someday I will replace you
I don't care what I have lost, you got what you deserve
(I was down, down, down, I was down)
I'm not the first and I won't be the last
To make the mistake of believing in you
Listen to me now, I don't intend to live in the past
Just like they say, some you win, some you lose
You never loved me and you made it plain
Now it's my turn and I'm playing your game
Like the button off-a my shirt just an everyday distraction
You'd be over reacting if you think that I still hurt, right now
Like the button off-a my shirt and some day I will replace you
I don't care what I have lost, you got what you deserve
(Love and affection)
You started
(Changing directions)
You threw it away
(Down, down, down)
Hey girl, you threw it away
(Down, down, down)
You never loved me and you made it plain
Now it's my turn to make you understand
Like the button off-a my shirt just an everyday distraction
You'd be over reacting if you think that I still hurt
Just the button off-a my shirt someday I will replace you
I don't care what I have lost, you got what you deserved
Like the button off-a my shirt just an everyday distraction
You'd be over reacting if you think that I still hurt
You're just the button off-a my shirt and someday I will replace you
I don't care what I have lost, you got what you deserved
Like the button off-a my shirt just an everyday distraction
You'd be over reacting if you think that I still hurt
How did it get so late, where did the night go to
Strange how it slips away when I'm with you
I know it's almost two, I know you should leave, but wait
I've thought it over and there's something I gotta say.
Chorus:
Why don't you spend the night? Somehow it seems so right
Why does it have to end so soon, please stay 'til the morning light
It's such a long way home, and you'd only be alone
Ah, come on now, why don't you spend the night?
Maybe I spoke too soon and maybe my timing's wrong
Or maybe it's something I shouldn't have said at all
But when I look in your eyes, I feel like we're almost one
Ah, something tells me the night's only just begun.
Chorus:
Why don't you spend the night? Somehow it seems so right
Why does it have to end so soon, please stay 'til the morning light
It's such a long way home, and you'd only be alone
Ah, come on now, why don't you spend the night?
Chorus:
Why don't you spend the night? Somehow it seems so right
Why does it have to end so soon, please stay 'til the morning light
It's such a long way home, and you'd only be alone
Ah, come on now, why don't you spend the night?...
If heartaches brought fame
In love's crazy game
I'd be a legend in my time
If they gave gold statuettes
For tears and regrets
Id be a legend in my time
But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken
Over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim
Ev'ryone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken
Over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim
Then ev'ryone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
Well, you can walk out on me tonight
If you think that it ain't feeling right
But darling, there's ain't no getting over me.
Well, you can say that you need to be free
But there ain't no place that I won't be
Sweet darling, there ain't no getting over me.
I'll be the bill you forgot to pay
I'll be the dream that keeps you awake
I'll be the song on the radio
I'll be the reason that you tell the boys no.
Don't you know you can tell everyone that we're through
You might even believe it too
But darling, there's ain't no getting over me
Sweet darling, there ain't no getting over me.
I'll be the face that you see in the crowd
I'll be the times that you cry out loud
I'll be the smile when there's no one around
I'll be the book that you just can't put down
So you can walk out on me tonight.
If you think that it ain't feeling right
But darling, there's ain't no getting over me
You'll see sweet darling, there's ain't no getting over
No, no, no, no, No Darling, there ain't no getting over
Ooooh mmmm
Mmmm No darling, there ain't no getting over me.
IN NO TIME AT ALL
WRITERS ARCHIE JORDAN, RICHARD LEIGH
The moment that you smile is when it all began
And in no time at all we were best of friends
The moment that we kissed the feeling grew and grew
And in no time at all I was loving you
In no time at all you let me ride inside your heart (your heart)
We felt that we had it all
Never dreaming love could fall apart
In no time at all
So when the ending came it took me by surprise
Cause in no time at all you told me goodbye
In no time at all you let me ride inside your heart (your heart)
We felt that we had it all
Never dreaming love could fall apart
In no time at all you let me ride inside your heart (your heart)
We felt that we had it all
Never dreaming love could fall apart
In no time at all
I'M NO GOOD AT GOODBYES
Writer Ben Peters
You don't have to tell me that it's over
For lately I can see it in your eyes
And I'll be gone when you wake up this morning
Cause darling I'm no good at goodbyes
I know we had the good things while it lasted
It's sad to see a good love when it dies
But the teardrops only make it hard for leaving
And darling I'm no good at goodbyes
Although it breaks my heart to write this letter
I know someday that you will realize
That when it hurts so much this way is better
And darling I'm no good at goodbyes
Some glad morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh, glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh, glory
I'll fly away
(In the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh, glory
I'll fly away
(In the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
My baby makes me proud
Lord don't she make me proud
She never makes a scene
By hangin' all over me in a crowd.
'Cause people like to talk
Lord don't they love to talk
But when they turn out the lights
I know she'll be leavin' with me.
'Cause when we get behind closed doors
And she lets her hair hang down
And she makes me glad that I'm a man
Oh, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors.
My baby makes me smile
Lord, don't she make me smile
She's never far away
Or too tired to say I want you.
She's always a lady
Just like a lady should be
But when they turn out the lights
She's still a baby to me.
'Cause when we get behind closed doors
And she lets her hair hang down
And she makes me glad that I'm a man
Oh, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
WHO'LL TURN OUT THE LIGHTS IN YOUR WORLD TONIGHT
Writers Wayne Kemp and Mack Vickery
I wonder who'll turn out the lights in your world tonight
I wonder who'll turn out the lights in your world tonight
Whose shoulder will your head be resting on
Will your hungry arms be reaching for someone you feel you need
Will that need still be there when he's gone
As I reach for the switch that turns out my lights
I wonder who'll turn out the lights in your world tonight
Has someone find a secret that I could never find
Is he touching that old switch that I've touched so many times
Is he turnin' on the woman I could never satisfy
I wonder who'll turn out the lights in your world tonight
Has someone find a secret...
TOO LATE TO WORRY (TOO BLUE TO CRY)
WRITER AL DEXTER
I broke your heart dear
I was untrue
And now I've lost you
What can I do?
I hope you're happy baby
For I'll get by
Too late to worry (too late to worry)
Too blue to cry (too blue to cry)
Our love has ended
You say we're through
You found a new love
And he's so good to you.
I'll always love you baby
As days go by
It's too late to worry
I'm too blue to cry.
I hope you're happy baby
For I'll get by
It's too late to worry
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away
Where His glory forever I'll share
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
I will cling to the old rugged cross
YOU'VE STILL GOT A PLACE IN MY HEART
Writer Leon Payne
If the one you'd think is true ever turns his back on you
You've still got a place in my heart
If every road you take proves you've made a big mistake
You've still got a place in my heart
For if I'm a fool to pray that you'll come back some day
Then I'll know a million fools that love has made that way
If the years should make you cry don't go on and live a lie
Baby you've still got a place in my heart
For if I'm a fool to pray that you'll come back some day
Then I'll know a million fools that love has made that way
If every road you take proves you've made a big mistake
Baby you've still got a place in my heart
You took her off my hands when you've stepped in
You changed everything we're not even friends
Don't leave the job half done leave nothing behind
You took her off my hands now please take her off my
mind.
Please take her photograph engraved on my heart's so blue
And take all the memories she now belongs to you
Don't leave the job half done leave nothing behind
You took her off my hands now please take her off my
mind.
--- Instrumental ---
Please take her photograph engraved on my heart's so blue
And take all the memories she now belongs to you
Don't leave the job half done leave nothing behind
You took her off my hands now please take her off my
I know this feeling from somewhere
I know I've been here before
The one I love forever
Doesn't love me anymore
So here I am
Heartache my only friend
Wrong end of the rainbow, again
I was looking for true love
But I didn't get far
Before I tied all my heartstrings
To some falling star
Now, here I am
Heartache my only friend
Wrong end of the rainbow, again
Between the winning and losing
There's a very fine line
This time I felt like a winner
When I was losing all the time
I get this rainy day feeling
That I'm gonna be blue
I thought the day that I found her
I'd seen the last of you
But here I am
Heartache my only friend
Wrong end of the rainbow, again
How did it get so late
Where did the night go to
Strange how it slips away
When I'm with you
I know it's almost two
I know you should leave
But wait I've thought it over
And there's something I gotta say
Why don't you spend the night?
Somehow it seems so right
Why does it have to end so soon
Please stay till the morning light
It's such a long way home
And you'd only be alone
Come on now
Why don't you spend the night?
Maybe I spoke too soon
And maybe my timing's wrong
Or maybe it's something
I shouldn't have said at all
But when I look in your eyes
I feel like we're almost one
Something tells me
The night's only just begun
Why don't you spend the night?
Somehow it seems so right
Why does it have to end so soon
Please stay till the morning light
It's such a long way home
And you'd only be alone
Come on girl
Why don't you spend the night?
Why don't you spend the night?
Somehow it seems so right
Why does it have to end so soon
Please stay till the morning light
It's such a long way home
And you'd only be alone
Come on now
Why don't you spend the night?
Alright
I guess you wonder what's become of me well I'm doing fine
I've just got so much to do I lose track of time
I come home and go to sleep I get up and go to work
And before I know it I've marked another day off my calendar
It's been one year two months three weeks and four days without you
Four hundred fifty long nights of thinking about you
The lonely hours and minutes keep mounting but who's counting
I go out to see a show when I can squeeze one in
But sometimes a game of solitare takes all weekend
I listen to the radio or watch TV till it goes off
The rest of the time I just sit around staring at the clock
It's been one year two months...
[ strings ]
Who counts the nights of a walking the floor
And who keeps track of tears anymore
I for one don't have time to waste
It doesn't matter to me that tomorrow makes tomorrow makes
Sometimes love can sure get lost in the daytime
And working eight long hours you're only a picture in my mind
But when we're finally alone in each other's arms our love is found
And only lovers know what goes on when the sun goes down
What goes on when the sun goes down?
Pillow talking love, tangled sheets and cotton gowns
What goes on when the sun goes down?
Makes the every day life of two people in love go round
Every morning with love renewed we face another day
Screen doors banging, the boss complaining and bills to pay
Through it all we wear love's smile from the happiness we've found
And only lovers know what goes on when the sun goes down
What goes on when the sun goes down?
Pillow talking love, tangled sheets and cotton gowns
What goes on when the sun goes down?
Makes the every day life of two people in love go round
What goes on when the sun goes down?
Pillow talking love, tangled sheets and cotton gowns
What goes on when the sun goes down?
Makes the every day life of two people in love go round
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeit?
Oh, what needless pain we bear?
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Oh, can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
What a difference you've made in my life
What a difference you've made in my life
You're my sunshine day and night
Oh, what a difference you've made in my life
What a change you have made in my heart
What a change you have made in my heart
You replaced all the broken parts
Oh, what a change you have made in my heart
Love to me was just a word in a song that had been way overused
But now I've joined in the singin'
'Cause you've shown me love's true meanin'
That's why I want to spread the news
What a difference you've made in my life
What a difference you've made in my life
You're my sunshine day and night
Oh, what a difference you've made in my life
What a difference you've made in my life, listen to it
What a difference you've made in my life
You're my sunshine day and night
Oh, what a difference you've made, yeah
What a difference you've made in my life
What a difference you've made in my life
You're my sunshine day and night
Oh, what a difference you've made
Go ahead and sing it
What a difference you've made in my life
What a difference you've made in my life
You're my sunshine day and night
Oh yeah, sing it to me
Oh what a difference you've made
What a difference you've made in my life
What a difference you've made in my life
You're my sunshine day and night
Oh, what a difference you've made
I keep talking to your picture
But a smile is all you say
It's a lonely conversation
But missing you is easier this way
Last night a shadow filled the doorway
And I heard footsteps on the stairs
Then I woke up this morning
And thought I saw you standing there
Stranger things have happened
And I'll always believe
If stranger things can happen
You could still come back to me
One touch is worth a thousand pictures
What might have been ain't worth a dime
I just hope someday I'll hold you
Another place, some other time
Stranger things have happened
And I'll always believe
If stranger things can happen
You could still come back to me
If stranger things can happen
You could still come back to me
STILL LOSING YOU
WRITER MIKE REID
It came to me again tonight
Here in this smoky place
Suddenly a fleeting memory
in the image of your face
so I paid for my check, buttoned my coat
stepped into an evening rain
made my way down the avenue
softly whispering your name
Still losing you
still losing you
something inside of me
keeps hanging on even though you're gone
Still losing you
Oh I'm still losing you
I dialed your number long distance
I heard a stranger say
The party you have tried to reach
Has recently moved away
I was a fool for leaving you
when you needed me so much
Now I'm the victim of a restless heart
That refuses to forget your touch
Still losing you
still losing you
Something inside of me
Just keeps hanging on even though you're gone
Still losing you
Oh I'm still losing you
Maybe someday I'll learn to live with this regret
Till then my heart will go on trying to forget
That I'm still losing you
Still losing you
something inside of me
Keeps hanging on even though you're gone
Still losing you
When the night has come and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid, oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as You stand, stand by me
Oh, sweet Jesus, stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, Lord, stand, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Oh, my sweet Lord, won't You stand by me, oh, stand by me?
When I'm in trouble stand, stand by me, stand by me
I need somebody to help me now
Stand by me
Oh, sweet Jesus, stand by me, oh, stand by me
When I'm in trouble stand by me, stand by me
Oh, sweet Jesus, stand by me, please, stand by me
Oh, when I need a friend won't You stand by me?
Oh, won't You stand by me, stand by me?
When I need a friend in the hour of darkness
Soon and very soon we are going to see the King
Soon and very soon we are going to see the King
Soon and very soon we are going to see the King
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we're going to see the King
I said, soon and very soon we are going to see the King
That's right, soon and very soon we are going to see the King
I said, soon and very soon we are going to see the King
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we're going to see the King
Yeah, yeah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we're going to see the King
Oh, listen now, no more cryin' there, we are going to see the King
Did you hear me now? No more cryin' there we are going to see the King
Yeah, no more cryin' there, we are going to see the King
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we're going to see the King
Oh, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we're going to see the King

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portals He's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me
Come home, come home
You who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh sinner come home
Why should we teary when Jesus is pleading?
Pleading for you and for me
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies?
Mercies for you and for me
Come home, come home
You who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh sinner come home
Come home, come home
You who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh sinner come home
In the daily rush of things
If we stop to think it seems
We never have time alone
Doing things we have to do
Not much time for me and you
Before me know it, it will all be gone
Let?s take the long way around the world
Sharing each other as we go
Let?s take the long way around the world
And let?s take it real slow
I get hungry just to talk
Take your hand and take a wake
I never have you to myself enough
The two of us are really one
And when it?s all said and done
The only thing that really lasts is love
Let?s take the long way around the world
Sharing each other as we go
Let?s take the long way around the world
And let?s take it real slow
Let?s take the long way around the world
Sharing each other as we go
Let?s take the long way around the world
And let?s take it real slow
Let?s take the long way around the world
Sharing each other as we go
Let?s take the long way around the world
It's over, I know you're going away
If you can't stay I don't want you too
I won't miss you, no, I don't care where you go
But where you goin' just in case I do
I'm glad you've got a friend there in town
And I hope he'll be good to you
Don't you worry, I won't worry 'bout you
But what's the number just in case I do
It's good you're gonna be happy
You're right, it's the right thing to do
And you couldn't really be happy
If you thought I still care for you
I know you don't love me anymore
Well, that's all right 'cause I don't love you
And I don't care if you'll ever come back again
But I'll be here just in case you do
JUST FOR A THRILL
WRITERS LILLIAN HARDIN ARMSTRONG, DON RAY
I am weak but Thou art strong
Jesus, keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long as I walk
Let me walk close to Thee
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me will be no more
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore
Just a closer
(Just a closer walk, just a closer walk with Thee)
Walk with Thee
(Just a closer walk, just a closer walk with Thee)
Grant it, Jesus
(Just a closer walk, just a closer walk with Thee)
Is my plea
(Just a closer walk, just a closer walk)
Daily walking
(Just a closer walk, just a closer walk with Thee)
Close to Thee
(Just a closer walk with Thee)
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
It's just a room like any other four walls a window and a door
It's just a bed like any other it's just that you don't sleep here anymore
It's just a dream like any other that shatters when love falls apart
If's just the silence of this room that held our love that breaks my heart
(It's just a room) I tell myself each lonely night
(It's just a room) but when I say l'll be alright
It's just my heart that I'm deceiving
Cause deep inside there's no believing
It's just a room
A picture stands there on the dresser two lovers laughing arm in arm
Your fragrance lingers on my pillow and I pretend that you're not really gone
For just a moment I imagine I hear the door and you've come home
Until this empty bed reminds me that instead I live alone
(It's just a room) I tell myself...
Why must you disappear
Why must you go when I need you here with me
Don't you know how much I love you
And why must you say goodbye
Once you saved my life now you're leaving me to die girl
Don't you know how much I love you
You give me just enough to keep me hoping
Enough to make me forget the promises you've broken
Ooooh why must you come around
Just to pick me up so you can watch me hit the ground
girl
Don't you know how much I love you
Don't you know know don't you know know
Don't you know know don't you know know
Don't you know don't you know don't you know how much I
love you
You give me just enough to keep me hoping
Enough to make me forget the promises you've broken
How long must this go on I'm so far gone
I'm on my knees now baby
Don't you know how much I love you don't you know how
much I love you
Don't you know how much I love you
Don't you know know
Don't you know know don't you know know
Don't you know don't you know don't you know how much I
You make my eyes run over all the time
You're happy when I'm out of my mind
You don't love me but you won't let me be
Don't you ever get tired of hurting me?
You must think I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me wear one
In such a long, long while
Still I keep coming back, how can this be?
Don't you ever get tired of hurting me?
You must think I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me wear one
In such a long, long while
Still I keep coming back, how can this be?
Don't you ever get tired of hurting me?
WRITER CHURCHILL KOHLMAN
If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye
It's no secret you feel better if you cry
When waking from a bad dream don't you sometimes think it's real
But it's only false emotion that you feel
If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues oh they keep getting bluer with each song
Remember sunshine can be found behind the cloudy sky
So let your head down and go on and cry
If your heartaches seem oh they seem to hang around bout too long
Yeah and your blues your blues keep getting bluer with each song
Oh baby just remember sunshine can be found
Yes it can be found behind each cloudy sky
Without you in my life every night seemed like a
lifetime.
The clock on the wall never seemed to move at all
Or was it just my mind.
Now with you here in my arms, I wanna make it last
But the time is flying by and the morning's coming
fast.
Chorus:
Where do the nights go, when I'm with you
Where do the nights go, when I wanna kiss you and hold
you tight
Is this what love feels like?Your heart beats like
thunder
Every moment you wonder, where do the nights go?
Where do the nights, where do the nights go?
--- Instrumental ---
If I had a time machine, I'd make the daylight seem
like fleeting
Moments
And every single night would be exactly like the night
that we spent
But it won't be long until I'm alone with my desire
'Cause the stars are going out and my heart is still on
fire,
Tell me where do the nights go, when I'm with you
Where do the nights go, where do the nights,
Where do the nights go?
--- Instrumental ---
Chorus:
Where do the nights go, when I'm with you
Where do the nights go, when I wanna kiss you and hold
you tight
Is this what love feels like?Your heart beats like
thunder
Every moment you wonder, where do the nights go?
Where do the nights, where do the nights go?
Now with you here in my arms, I wanna make it last
But the time is flying by and the morning's coming
fast, tell me.
Chorus:
Where do the nights go, when I'm with you
Where do the nights go, when I wanna kiss you and hold
you tight
Is this what love feels like?Your heart beats like
thunder
Every moment you wonder, where do the nights go?
Where do the nights, where do the nights go?
Tell me where do the nights go.
Tell me where do the nights go.
Just another night, just another party
I never dreamed that you would be here
Let's don't try to talk, let's don't say we're sorry
All I wanna do is just hold you near.
We could be dancin' in the dark,
We could be dancin' heart to heart
So let the music start.
Chorus:
Somebody turn that radio on I can't stand it
I wanna hear a love song and dance real slow
Somebody turn the jukebox up I demand it,
Baby hold me close.
I remember what it's like to dance with you all night
Baby it felt so good back then
Who was right or wrong, does it really matter,
I just wanna be back in your arms again.
I wanna glide across the floor
And feel you next to me once more
Just like it was before.
Chorus:
Somebody turn that radio on I can't stand it
I wanna hear a love song and dance real slow
Somebody turn the jukebox up I demand it,
Baby hold me close.
Oh yeah
--- Instrumental ---
My my my my baby.
We could be dancin' in the dark,
We could be dancin' heart to heart
So let the music start.
Chorus:
Somebody turn that radio on I can't stand it
I wanna hear a love song and dance real slow
Somebody turn the jukebox up I demand it,
Baby hold me close.
Chorus:
Somebody turn that radio on I can't stand it
I wanna hear a love song and dance real slow
Somebody turn the jukebox up I demand it,
Baby hold me close.
Somebody turn that radio on
I can't stand it
I left Decatur helping to forget her
Bought a ticket to Skowhegan, Maine
I wound up in Seattle too drunk and too rattled
To know that I caught the wrong train
I met some fast easy women and some hard drinking men
Trying to drown the sorrow in me
I once had a lot but the future is not
Not what it used to be
The years they went by and I went steadily down
'Til I had no place to go
Made the soup lines by morning and the dives every night
Wrecking my body and soul
And then I met a lady and in time she made me forget
Yes, her love set me free
We ain't got a lot but the future is not
Not what it used to be
Oh, I never thought I could live to get over
For the past cut a hole deep in me
But now there's a chance I'll be here a while longer
At least now I wanna be
Somebody told me that you were in town
I found out today
And you know that I'm sorry to hear that you're down
But what can I say?
That I know your sorrow and I know your pain
Don't you know I know your need?
'Cos I want to love you a lot but the future is not
Don't
Tempt me with your eyes
Or fill my heart with lies
If u don't really want me to
And say, say what's on your mind
Just give me some kind of sign
To let me know what I'm supposed to do
(chorus)
Cuz if you don't want me to
Then tell me
Its too easy loving you
Like it should me
If u don't want me to
Don't tease me, don't tease me
Try to please me
The way, the way you say good night
Makes me want to stay each time
Girl you know Im really wanting you
Marry-Go-Round
You get me so high off the ground
Now don't you go and let me down
Girl you don't know what I'm going through
Im sooo all over you
So if you don't want me to
Then tell me
Its too easy loving you
Like it should be
If you don't want me to
Don't tease me, don't tease me
Try to please me
If you don't want me to (if you don't want me to)
Then tell me
Its too easy loving you
Like it should be
If you don't want me to (if you don't want me to)
Don't tease me, don't tease me
Try to please me
If you don't want me to (if you don't want me to)
Just tell me
Its so easy loving you
Like it should be
Tell me what I should do (if you don't want me )
Don't tease me, don't tease me
Try to please me
If you don't want me to (if you don't want me to)
Just tell me
Its so easy loving you
Like it should be
Tell me what I should do (if you don't want me to)
Don't tease me, don't tease me
I watch her pickin' up their tips off the tables
And see them smile as she brings another round
That dress she's wearin' shows she's all woman
And it reminds me I once had what they want now
That girl who waits on tables used to wait for me at home
And she waited till all her love was gone
I'm too late but I still worship the floor she's dancin' on
That girl who waits on tables used to wait for me at home
I see her playin' that ol' juke box with their dimes
It's a song about a fool who did her wrong
And I'll wait for her again till closin' time
But when she goes home tonight I'll be alone
That girl who waits on tables used to wait for me at home
And she waited till all her love was gone
I'm too late but I still worship the floor she's dancin' on
That girl who waits on tables used to wait for me at home

Dm C
There's a silence here between us
I've never heard before
Dm C
And I can't find the love
In her eyes anymore
Dm C
There are some changes going on
Dm F
I'm beginning to under-stand
When I'm holding her
I swear I feel the presence of another man
CHORUS:
Dm G
There's a stranger in my house
Am A
Somebody's here that I can't see
Dm G
Stranger in my house
Am A Dm
Somebody here trying to take her away from me

2.) Dm C G Dm C G lead on Dm C G Dm C G
Dm C
She sits staring out the window
A billion miles away
Dm C
And when I ask if she's alright
She never has to much to say
Dm C
Is it somebody we both know
Dm F
Somebody she just met
Is she loving him in her mind
While she's lying here in my bed
chorus,
Dm Am
Suspicions lead to questions

Is it just my imagination
Or has her love turned into lies

Crack of dawn I hit the road
Set my shoulders for the heavy load
Coffee leaking through the paper sack
The foreman says, "I'm late again"
He can't stand it when I only grin
He's got me eight hours, she's got me after that
I can't wait 'til it's quittin' time
She got something cookin' for me tonight
She keeps the home fires burning
While I'm out earning a living in a world
That's known for its pouring rain
She keeps the home fires burning
Ooh, and it's her warm loving
That keeps me returning again and again
Out of gas, just my luck
Four bald tires on my pickup truck
No more credit on my credit card
When I come home and hit that door
I remember what these aching arms are for
She's my one light when the world goes dark
Tomorrow it's the same old grind
But she'll be burning in my mind
She keeps the home fires burning
While I'm out earning a living in a world
That's known for its pouring rain
She keeps the home fires burning
Ooh, and it's her warm loving
That keeps me returning again
She keeps the home fires burning
Ooh, and it's her warm loving
That keeps me returning again
(Home fires burning)
While I'm out earning a living in a world
That's known for its pouring rain
She keeps the home fires burning
Ooh, and it's her warm loving
That keeps me returning again
(She keeps the home fires burning)
While I'm out earning a living in a world
That's known for its pouring rain
BORROWED ANGEL
Writer Mel Street
Her fingers feel so gentle with her hand in mine
Her hair feels like silk on my arm
Her lips tell me so tenderly she's mine alone
Until we part tonight and she goes home
Borrowed angel belongs to someone else
I love my borrowed angel I just can't help myself
That ring on her finger don't belong to me
But she loves me and I know she'll save some borrowed time for me
I wish that I could have her more than just tonight
We can't go on like this it isn't right
When that lonesome feeling comes knocking on my door
I'll call my borrowed angel to ease the pain once more
Diesel powers 18 wheels to rollin'
As I pull it on to the Interstate.
I've got thirteen hours to make my destination
And I don't want to stop to check my weight
There won't be no sleep for me tonight
No, I've got to be hittin' Tulsa by first morning
light.
Chorus:
I'm aprisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
Call me a prisoner of the highway
Prison by the freedom of the road.
I've run freight out of Wheeling, West Virgina
And US Steel from Memphis
I've rode tobacco out of the Carolina's
California wines into Burmingham
Some people work just to survive, yeah
But up here in this cab that's when I'm most alive.
I'm aprisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
Call me a prisoner of the highway
Prison by the freedom of the road.
--- Instrumental ---
Got a wife living back in Tennessee
And she tries to understand the way I feel
I could give my hands to another line of work
But my heart would always be behind the wheel.
Call me a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
I'm a prisoner of the highway
Prison by the freedom of the road.
Don't you know I'm aprisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
Call me a prisoner of the highway
This could be our last goodnight together
We may never pass this way again
Just let me enjoy 'til it's over or forever
Please don't tell me how the story ends
See the way our shadows come together
Softer than your fingers on my skin
Someday this may be all that we'll remember of each other
Please don't tell me how the story ends
Never's just the echo of forever
Lonesome as the love that might have been
Just let me go on loving and believing 'til it's over
Please don't tell me how the story ends
You?ve seen the way I entertain a crowd
I use to pack 'em in for miles around
And I play the happy songs that made 'em smile
Why?d you want to go and change my style?
Nobody like sad songs, the ones about goodbyes
Songs about broken hearts with tears in your eyes
Nobody like sad songs, since you went away
Seems like sad songs are all I can play
The crowd gets restless and they drift away
Lately no one wants to hear me play
I tried to do the songs I use to do
Ah, but then I think of you
And nobody like sad songs, the ones about goodbyes
Songs about broken hearts with tears in your eyes
Nobody like sad songs, since you went away
Seems like sad songs are all I can play
The boss just told me, "Ronnie, things aren?t going well"
He?s gonna let me go, I can tell
He said, "What happened son, you had it made
Why?d you change the way you played"
'Cause, nobody like sad songs, the ones about goodbyes
Songs about broken hearts with tears in your eyes
Nobody like sad songs, since you went away
Seems like, seems like sad songs are all I can play
Nobody like sad songs, the ones about goodbyes
Songs about broken hearts with tears in your eyes
Nobody like sad songs, since you went away
And it seems like sad songs are all I can play
Nobody like sad songs, the ones about goodbyes
Oh, I was kicked back in a rented cabana
Easin' my mind with some old Carlos Santana
Nibblin' on a banana moon pie
When I swore I saw an angel from heaven floatin' by
Then I thought, no, no way she must be from around here
She got one of those tans you just know she wears all year
Swayin', sashayin', flip-floppin' along
Like wherever she may be is right where she belongs
And I thought, ooh, I love the local girls
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I love the local girls
Lo, lo, local, lo, lo, local, lo, lo, local girls
I said, "Madam, if you have nowhere to go
Can I interest you in an ice-cold pacifico??
And she said, "As luck would have it I got nothin' but time?
She reached in her back-pack, said, "Down here you'll find
That a lady don't leave home without a couple of limes?
An' I said, "Ooh, I love the local girls
Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I love the local girls?
Later on she took me to this bar built out of cinder blocks
One of those joints with a notice to shell park in line
While we were dancin', she whispered, "I like you a lot?
An' I said, "My, my, my, go on, say that one more time?, hey
Five years later, here I am intermittent
With a couple a-toaheads as that big old orange sun is settin'
I can't believe how good it's still gettin'
As I watch my daughters splashin' in the water
And I said, "Ooh, I love the local girls
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I love the local girls
(Here she come)
Lo, lo, local
(Hey)
Lo, lo, local
(Here she come)
Lo, lo, local girls?
Lo, lo, local, lo, lo, local
I love the local girls
Lo, lo, local, lo, lo, local
I love the local girls
I love the local girls
"Jesus Is Your Ticket To Heaven"
You can buy a ticket to Paris
You can buy a ticket to Rome
You can buy a ticket to Norway
But you can't buy a ticket to that heavenly home
Chorus:
Jesus is your ticket to Heaven
Lord, it's gonna be so nice
Jesus is your ticket to Heaven
He's already paid the price
You can buy a ticket for a boat
You can buy a ticket for a plane
You can buy a ticket for a subway
But you can't buy a ticket for that heavenly train
Repeat Chorus:
Bridge:
Once you've got your ticket
You don't have to worry 'bout a cancellation
You'll be traveling first class
Go ahead and make your reservation
The snow is on the ground.
The family's all in town, it's Christmas.
The children want to know
Why we hung the mistletoe, it's Christmas.
Then silently the night turns on a magic light
And it's Christmas all over the world.
And I hope that Santa Claus remembers every child
Because it's Christmas.
The lights upon the tree
Make delightful melody, it's Christmas.
There's a choir out in the night,
Singing songs by candlelight, it's Christmas.
With every face aglow the young & old both know
It's Christmas all over the world
Love is flowing free. All the world's at peace
It's Christmas.
--- Instrumental ---
With every face aglow the young & old both know
It's Christmas all over the world.
And I hope that Santa Claus remembers every child
Because it's Christmas.
Love is flowing free. All the world's at peace
If you need someone to talk to, you can talk to me
I can give you all my time and my advice is free
You're a really pretty lady, I like the moves you're
making
And the nights, they do get lonely, if you know what
I'm saying
I can give you anything you ask
Almost anything I have
If it's my heart you want
It's already taken
Though I don't have somebody waiting for me at home
And except for her memory, lately I've been all alone
I've got an empty place inside me, there's no faking
'Cause the part of me she took away, there's no
replacing
Well, I can give you anything you ask
Almost anything I have
If it's my heart you want
It's already taken
If it's my heart you want
It's already taken
Baby, in another place, oh, in another time
We could have made the sweetest love
When my heart was still mine, oh yeah
Well, I can give you anything you ask
Almost anything I have
Well, if it's my heart you want
It's already taken
If it's my heart you want
It's already taken
If it's my heart you want
It's already taken
It's already taken
My heart's already taken
Oh, I don't need another heartbreak
It's already taken
It's already taken
My heart's already taken
It's already taken, oh
Once in every life
Someone comes along
And you came to me
It was almost like a song
You were in my arms
Right where you belong
And we were so in love
It was almost like a song
January through December
We had such a perfect year
Then the flame became a dying ember
All at once you weren't here
Now my broken heart
Cries for you each night
And it's almost like a song
But it's much too sad to write
Now my broken heart
Cries for you each night
And it's almost like a song
But it's much too sad to write
The chimes of time ring out the news
Another day is through
Someone slipped and fell
Was that someone you?
You may have longed for added strength
Your courage to renew
Do not be disheartened
For I have news for you
It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others He'll do for you
With arms wide open He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do
There is no night for in His light
You never walk alone
Always feel at home
Wherever you may roam
There is no power can conquer you
When God is on your side
Take Him at His promise
Don't run away and hide
It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others He'll do for you
With arms wide open He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do
She tries for the honesty but the truth gets in the way
Cause I know inside what she can't bring herself to say
There's something dying deep in her heart I feel it when I touch her hand
So I tell her a lie when I tell her I understand
But inside I die a little each day inside I feel her slipping away
Inside if she knew I hurt this way inside she'd find a reason to stay
And so I must keep this broken heart down deep inside
She turns to look at me trying to speak her mind
A thousand reasons in search of a single rhyme
And suddenly it occurs to me she's trying to say goodbye
So I give her a smile and tell her that I'll be alright
Oh but inside I die a little each day...
Sometimes love will slip away it's hard to say just why
Is it something that's said or is it instead something that just simply dies
I'LL BE THERE (IF YOU EVER WANT ME)
Writers Ray Price - Rusty Gabbard-Bobby Darin
Love me ain't you ever gonna love me
Well there ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I never have seen a river that's too wide
There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me
There ain't no man big enough to stop me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
Love me ain't you ever gonna love me
I said I never have seen a road too rough to ride
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
There ain't no rope tight enough to bind me
Look for me honey you will find me
Any old time you're ready with your charms
I'll be there ready and a waitin' there won't be any hesitation
I'll be right there if you ever want me by your side
Love me ain't you ever gonna love me...
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
Our paths may never cross again
Maybe my heart will never mend
But I'm glad for all the good times
'Cause you brought me so much sunshine
An' love was the best it's ever been
I wouldn't have missed it for the world
Wouldn't have missed lovin' you, girl
You've made my whole life worthwhile
With your smile
I wouldn't trade one memory
'Cause you mean too much to me
Even though I lost you, girl
I wouldn't have missed it for the world
They say that all good things must end
Loves comes an' goes just like the wind
You've got your dreams to follow
But if I had the chance tomorrow
You know, I'd do it all again
I wouldn't have missed it for the world
Wouldn't have missed lovin' you, girl
You've made my whole life worthwhile
With your smile
I wouldn't trade one memory
'Cause you mean too much to me
Even though I lost you, girl
I wouldn't have missed it for the world
I wouldn't trade one memory
'Cause you mean too much to me
Even though I lost you, girl
I wouldn't have missed it for the world
I wouldn't have missed it for the world
Wouldn't have missed lovin' you, girl
You've made my whole life worthwhile
With your smile
He got the sunshine, I got the rain
He got your loving, I got the pain
He got a lifetime of love to see him through
I got the memories, he got you
He got the good times, I got the bad
He got your sweet side, I got the sad
He got forever to make your dreams come true
I got your letter goodbye, he got you
Sometimes the wine taste bitter
Sometimes the wine taste sweet
Sometimes the only road I can see
Leads me right back to your feet
He got the sunshine, I got the rain
He got your loving, I got all the pain
He got a lifetime of love to see him through
I got the memories, he got you
He got a lifetime of love to see him through, girl
I got the memories, he got you
He got you baby, he got you
He got you baby, baby, baby
He got you, he got you baby, oh, he got you
Been preparin',
All week long,
To get it ready,
To get it on.
The only thing,
That's on my mind,
Is drivin' it home,
In 4-4 time.
1, 2, 3, 4...
[Chorus:]
You gotta get it up,
Get down,
Get it on,
Or get on out.
That's the only way,
To make my baby shout.
You gotta get it up,
Get down,
Get it on,
Or get on out.
You gotta get it up,
Get down,
Get it on,
Or get on out.
[End Chorus]
This is what she said to me,
The only way you can set me free,
Is show me every move you got,
And move it till it hits the spot.
5, 6, 7, 8...
[Repeat Chorus]
Yeah...
Get it on, white boy.
[Refrain:]
Get it up,
Get down,
Get it on,
Or get on out.
[End Refrain]
[Repeat Refrain] 3x
[Musical break]
The second verse now...
This is what she said to me,
The only way you can set me free,
Is show me every move you got,
And move it till it hits the spot.
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Refrain] 4x
[Musical break]
Let's give it to Warren...
Ah you're cookin' now...
You're cookin' Warren.
Do it to me...
Do it to me...
Go on, do it to me...
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Refrain] 4x
Go on, give it to me ya'll.
You know I can sit here,
And do this thing all night long...
Out where the bright lights are glowing
You're drawn like a moth to a flame
You laugh while the wine's overflowing
While I sit and whisper your name
Four walls to hear me
Four walls to see
Four walls too near me
Closing in on me
Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting
But my walls have nothing to say
I'm made for love not for hating
So here where you left me I'll stay
One night with you is like heaven
And so while I'm walking the floor
I listen for steps in the hallway
And wait for your knock on my door.
Four walls to hear me
Four walls to see
Four walls too near me
Closing in on me
I turn on the radio and hear your favorite song
And all day long I hum the melody
When I see that special look
Between two people so in love
I remember how it was with you and me.
Chorus:
Everywhere I turn there's your memory
The image of you burning up inside me
It's almost more than I can do
To think of anything but you
'Cause everywhere I turn there's your memory.
If I go somewhere with friends
Someone's sure to mention you
Then some old familiar feeling steals back in
When I go to sleep at night you're still filling up my
dreams
How I wish you could fill up my arms again.
Chorus:
Everywhere I turn there's your memory
The image of you burning up inside me
It's almost more than I can do
To think of anything but you
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm
Now hit me! Ooh-yeah! Hooh!
Ooh-ee baby, don't you know you set my soul on fi-ire
You're like a double scoop o' ice cream
Sittin' on top of a cherry pie-ie
Ooh-ee baby, don't you know you make me lose control
Come on over to me mamma, let me feel your rock 'n'
roll
'Cause you know you got what it takes
To make my body shake - just like an earthquake
You shake my body dow-ow-ow-own
Like an earthquake - you shake my body dow-ow-ow-own
Ooh-ee baby, I'm a twitchin' and a tremblin' insi-ide
You've got me covered up in love
I'm buried in your landsli-ide
Ooh-ee baby, I'm a livin' in a danger zone, yeah
I'm in a cold-cold sweat and my mouth is dry as a bone
'Cause you know you've got what it takes
To make my body shake - just like an earthquake, wooh
You shake my body dow-ow-ow-ow-own
I said an earthquake - you shake my body dow-ow-ow-own
Ooh, a hurricane ain't got nothin' on you-ou, no
'Cause you blow me away, there's nothin' I can say or
do-oo-oo
Except shake-shake (like an earthquake)
Shake-shake (like an earthquake)
I just shake-shake (like an earthquake)
Shake-shake (like an earthquake)
Harmonica comin' in - Oh Lord - wooh
Oh-oh-oh, a hurricane, ain't got nothin' on you-ou-ou
'Cause you blow me away, there's nothin' I can say or
do-oo-oo
Except shake-shake (like an earthquake)
I just shake-shake (like an earthquake)
Shake-shake (like an earthquake), shake-shake (like an
earthquake)
Shake-shake (earthquake), shake-shake (earthquake)
You got me shakin' and tremblin' (like an earthquake)
Oh Lord, shake-shake (like an earthquake)
I'm having daydreams about night things in the middle of the afternoon
And while my hands make a living my mind's home loving you
I'm having daydreams about night things in the middle of the afternoon
And every night you make my daydreams come true
Well all day long while I'm working in town time slows down to a crawl
When I'm not thinking about you, I'm checking the clock on the wall
Then it's goodbye factory and hello love and there's a smile across my face
'Cause I'm back in the arms of your sweet love
Where my thoughts have been all day
I'm having daydreams about night things in the middle of the afternoon
And while my hands make a living my mind's home loving you
I'm having daydreams about night things in the middle of the afternoon
And every night you make my daydreams come true
I'm having daydreams about night things in the middle of the afternoon
While my hands make a living my mind's home loving you
I'm having daydreams about night things in the middle of the afternoon
Every night you make my daydreams come true
I can smell the pines sweet Carolina's on my mind
I still feel that mountain breeze whisperin' through the trees
Tears fell from her eyes I held her as we said goodbye
She knew I didn't want to go but here I am tonight alone
Dreaming Carolina dreams in Tennessee
And someday soon I'll have her here with me
Until then she knows I miss her and tonight I'll go to sleep
Dreaming Carolina dreams in Tennessee
The cotton mill shut down they laid off folks for miles around
I had to leave to find some work the hardest part was leaving her
Nashville Tennessee it'd be beautiful if she was with me
But alone it's just another place till I close my eyes and see her face
I'm dreaming Carolina dreams
Though we're miles apart we're sharing the same moon
When it's shining on her it's shining on me too
I'm dreaming Carolina dreams in Tennessee
And someday soon I'll have her here with me
I took some time to clear my mind
And give myself a change of atmosphere
I had some fun lyin' in the sun
Daytona's nice this time of year
I saw lovers hand in hand building castles in the sand
And doin' all the things we did back then
But just when I think I'm through loving you
You're back on my mind again
Back on my mind time after time
I wonder if this heart will ever mend
'Cause just when I think I'm through loving you
You're back on my mind again
I came out of my shell, really doing well
I met someone who thinks the world of me
She talks of rings and whispers loving things
She's everything you'd want a girl to be
But when she holds me tight the feeling isn't right
It seems as though I'm never gonna win
'Cause just when I think I'm through loving you
You're back on my mind again
Back on my mind time after time
I wonder if this heart will ever mend
'Cause just when I think I'm through loving you
You're back on my mind again
Back on my mind time after time
I wonder if this heart will ever mend
'Cause just when I think I'm through loving you
Any day now
I will hear you say
Good bye my love
And you'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird
You will have flown
Any day now
I'll be all alone
Any day now
When your restless eyes
Meets someone new
Oh to my sad surprise
Then the blue shadows
Will fall all over town
Any day now
Love will let me down
I know I shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay
Until you're gone forever
I'll keep holding on for dear life
Holding you this way
Begging you to stay
Any day now
When the clock strikes go
You'll call it off
Then my tears will flow
Then my wild beautiful bird
You will have flown
Any day now
Love will let me down
'Cause you won't be around
Oh, then the blue shadows
Will fall all over town
Any day now
Love will let me down
'Cause you won't be around
Any day now
You won't be around
No, no, no, no, no, no
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed?
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home, alright
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved the wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
Am I losing you
Are my fears coming true
How I wish I knew
Am I losing you
Is your love really true
Is there somebody new
Tell me what to do
Am I losing you
Am I too blind to see
What's then happ'ning to me
Ev'ry road has a bend
Will I be sweetheart or friend
Will the sweet things you do
Be for somebody new
Tell me what to do
Am I losing you
Ooooo am I too blind to see
What's then happ'ning to me
Ev'ry road has a bend
Will I be sweetheart or friend
Will the sweet things you do
Be for somebody new
Tell me what to do
Now the first is that there ain't no rules
Some you win and some you lose
Just when you think that love is true
Somebody makes a fool out of you
Like it or not one thing for sure
All is fair in love and war.
You and me, we make love all night
Then we end up in a knock down, drag out fight
We kick and cuss and scream and shout
Until we forget what we're fightin' about
Kiss, makeup and make love some more
'Cause all is fair in love and war.
Well, anything goes when it come to love
Someone's going down when push comes to shove
It's a fight to the finish with no holds barred
If someone winds up with a broken heart
That's tough, that's real tough.
Now baby you know I sure would grieve
If you were to ever leave me
I guess I'd have to find me someone new
Someone who's a little bit prettier than you
Just to even up the score
'Cause all is fair in love and war.
Well, anything goes when it come to love
Someone's going down when push comes to shove
It's a fight to the finish with no holds barred
If someone winds up with a broken heart
That's tough, that's real tough.
Now baby you know I sure would grieve
If you were to ever leave me
I guess I'd have to find me someone new
Someone who's a little bit prettier than you
Just to even up the score
No matter what you do or say
She's always got to have her way
She'll bring you down just to cheer you up
You never know with a woman in love.
The minute you start holding on
You'll turn around and she'll be gone
This is very unpredictable stuff
You never know with a woman in love.
Chorus:
She's a lady, she's a child
She'll make you crazy, she'll drive you wild
Do you give in or do you just give up
You never know with a woman in love.
You never know with a woman in love.
I oughta know 'cause I've held a few
I've seen the things that a woman can do
She'll play the game 'til you call her bluff
Oh, You never know with a woman in love.
Just when you think you've got it all together
If you blink she'll change just like the weather, oh,
oh, oh.
No matter what you do or say
She's always got to have her way
This is very unpredictable stuff
You never know with a woman in love.
Chorus:
She's a lady, she's a child
She'll make you crazy, she'll drive you wild
Do you give in or do you just give up
You never know with a woman in love.
You never know with a woman in love.
You never know with a woman in love,
We wake up each morning and start every day
With coffee, espresso and grande lattes
Race into traffic and bitch while we wait
Mad at the world for making us late
We punch in, then lunch in, then punch out again
Rush home to clean up the messes we've left
Microwave dinner, then put it to bed
Tomorrow we'll do it all over again
That's just a day, a day in the life of America
Yeah, that's just the way we live our lives in America
Each night is the same as the evening before
Check all your e-mails and lock all your doors
Half-hour break on a workout machine
While surfing a 200 channel TV
Then comes the weekend, the time we like best
One day for catch up, the other for rest
But how can we rest when we're so far behind
An hour for God is all we can find
That's just a day, a day in the life of America
Yeah, that's just the way we live our lives in America
Some people praise it and some people hate it
This beautiful chaos we made
But that's just a day, a day in the life of America
Yeah, that's just the way we live our lives in America
That's just a day, a day in the life of America
Yeah, that's just the way we live our lives in America
Oh, that's just a day, a day in the life of America
Oh, that's just the way we live our lives in America
That's just a day, a day in the life of America
20-20 VISION
Writer Geoffrey Morgan
My life was right in front of me but now she's gone
Now it's easy to see I was the one who was wrong
How could I be that close and yet so far of the track
Well I've got 20-20 vision but only looking back
Yes it's clear to me now but I should've seen it all along
Why was I so blind to what I had at home
When a woman's not satisfied it don't take her long to pack
Well I've got 20-20 vision but only looking back
Lord it hurts to see it all when there's nothing I can do
Loving her now that it's too late makes me just a fool
If I open my eyes in time the future would look so black
I've got 20-20 vision but only looking back
Well you can walk out on me tonight
If you think that it ain't feeling right
But darling
There's ain't no getting over me
Well you can say that you need to be free
But there ain't no place that I won't be
Sweet darling bass run up
There ain't no getting over me
I'll be the bill you forgot to pay bass run up
I'll be the dream that keeps you awake
I'll be the song on the radio
I'll be the reason that you tell the boys no
Don't you know
You can tell everyone that we're through
You might even believe it too
But darling
There's ain't no getting over me
Sweet darling lead, bass run up
There ain't no getting over me
I'll be the face that you see in the crowd
I'll be the times that you cry out loud
I'll be the smile when there's no one around
I'll be the book that you just can't put down
So you can walk out on me tonight
If you think that it ain't feeling right
But darling
There's ain't no getting over me

(LYING HERE WITH) LINDA ON MY MIND
Writer Conway Twitty
Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me my soon to be the one I left behind
And Lord it's killing me to see her cryin'
She know I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind
Yes I know that I once loved her and I place no one above her
And I never thought I'd ever set her free
But it just wasn't in my plans the way Linda squeezed my hand
The first time that I held her close as she danced with me
She said I've loved you for such a long time but you're married to a friend of mine
And I try hard to never let it show
But my love for you is stronger and I can't hide it any longer
And so I thought I'd better let you know
(AFTER SWEET MEMORIES) PLAY BORN TO LOSE AGAIN
Writer Kent M. Robbins
Pardon me I'm just another lonely fool
And I know the band is tired it's half past two
But would you play one last request for an old friend
After Sweet Memories play Born To Lose again
After Sweet Memories would you play Born To Lose again
I'm here most every night until the music ends
I know you know my story I hear it now and then
So after Sweet Memories play Born To Lose again
I know the waitress here she seats me near the band
She brings me scotch'n soda and her eyes understand
Your hard day's night is ending but mine will soon begin
So after Sweet Memories play Born To Lose again
After Sweet Memories would you play Born To Lose again...
