Now you know me,
You know how proud I am
What I'm gonna tell you now
Won't be easy to say
Oh, before I left you
But I was a happy man
But I've been so lonely
Since I've been away.
Well, I've tried and I know
That I can't make it alone
It's such a hard way to go
I just can't make it alone
There's something in my soul
That will always lead me back to you.
What can I say now?
Sorry's just not good enough
I couldn't blame you
If you hurt me now
The way I hurt you then
Oh, but who else can I turn to?
Baby, baby, I'm begging you
Won't you reach out to a dying man
And let him live again,
Hey, baby, now
I've tried and I know
I can't make it alone
It's such a hard way to go
I just can't make it alone
There's something in my soul
That will always lead me, lead me back to you.
Oh, baby, oh, baby
Won't you help me, girl
Girl, I need you
I'm saying that I need you, girl
I just can't make it alone
I'm tried and weak them came by myself
Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all of the time
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time
I walk around,
Heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around
And I'm still feeling bad
Rain pourin' down
Blinding every hope I had
This pitter 'n patter 'n beatin' 'n spatterin' drivin'
me mad
Love, love, love, love
This misery will be the end of me
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time, the time
This bitter earth
Well, what fruit it bears
What good is love
that no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows
this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold
Today you´re young
But too soon, you´re old
But while a voice within me cries
I´m sure someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth
Ooooo may not
I dont have to beg you to hold me
Cause somebody else will
You dont have to love me when I want it, no
Cause somebody else will
Some kind friends say you dont need it
When all the time theyre trying to get it
Look out, your good thing
Is about to come to an end
Your real good thing
Is about to come to an end
All those nights I watched the four walls
I did not have to watch them all alone
When other women said they wanted me, baby
I didnt have to tell them I was
Your very own
You have all the love Ive got
Even ice melts to water and gets hot
Look out, your good thing
Is about to come to an end
You real good thing
Its about to end
Getting myself back together
Is going to be a big problem I know
But when the right woman says she wants me
You can bet I wont tell him no
Thank you for using Top40db.com.
Cause your real good thing
Some day when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you,
And the way you look tonight.
Oh, but, you're lovely, with your smile so warm,
And your cheeks so soft.
There is nothing for me but to love you,
Just the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart.
And that smile that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.
Lovely, never, never change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you,
Just the way you look tonight.
I lost at love before
Got mad and closed the door
But you said "Try, just once more"
I chose you for the one
Now we're having so much fun
You treated me so kind
I'm about to lose my mind
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life
The others were untrue
But when it came to loving you
I'd spend my whole life with you
'Cause you came and you took control
You touched my very soul
You always showed me that
Loving you is where it's at
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life
Thank you, babe
Yeah, yeah
I love you so much you see
You're even in my dreams
I can hear you
I can hear you callin' me
I'm so in love with you
All I ever want to do is
Thank you babe, thank you babe
[Instrumental Interlude]
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life
You made me so very happy
You made me so so, so very happy, babe
I'm so glad you came
Into my life
I want to thank you, girl
Every day of my life
I want to thank you
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes
"a-a-ah!"
When she walks she's like a samba that
Swings so cool and sways so gentle,
That when she passes, each one she passes goes
"a-a-ah!"
Oh, but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her?
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at me
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes I smile, but she doesn't see
She just doesn't see
I`M IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE,
DON`T KNOW WHAT TO DO,
SUPPOSED TO BE ONE WOMAN`S MAN,
BUT I AM IN LOVE WITH TWO.
ONE IS MY TREASURE,
ONE IS MY TREAT,
BOTH SUCH A PLEASURE,
`CAUSE THEY`RE BOTH SO SWEET.
I CAN`T PUT EITHER OF THEM DOWN,
THAT`S WHY I`M SLIPPIN` `ROUND
LIVIN` DOUBLE IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE.
YES, IT`S A WORLD OF TROUBLE,
I AIN`T HAPPY NOW,
`CAUSE I GOT ONE MORE WOMAN
THAN THE LEGAL LAWS ALLOW.
JUDGES WOULD JAIL ME,
PREACHERS WOULD SHOUT,
BAD TALK WOULD NAIL ME,
IF THE TRUTH GOT OUT.
POLITE SOCIETY WOULD FROWN,
CLAIM I`M JUST A CLOWN,
LIVIN` DOUBLE IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE.
I DO NOT DARE REVEAL
THE NEED I DEEPLY FEEL.
TO MY PROPER FRIENDS IT WOULD SCARE `EM,
THEY WOULD CHALK IT UP TO GREED,
BUT WHAT I DEEPLY NEED
IS A NEW KIND OF TWO WOMAN HAREM.
I`VE GOT A WORLD OF TROUBLE,
A WOMAN AND A WIFE,
THE KIND OF SITUATION
THAT CAN COST SOMEBODY`S LIFE.
OH, BUT I`M GONNA BEAR IT,
`LONG AS I CAN,
NO, I DON`T WANT TO SHARE IT
WITH NO OTHER MAN.
ALL OF MY FUTURE`S IN A FOG,
I`M JUST A DIRTY DOG
'Cause I was born
in a dump
Mama died
and my daddy got drunk
Left me here
to die alone
in the middle Of Tobacco Road
Growin up
rusty shack
All I had was
hangin on my back
Only you know
how I loa
this place Called Tobacco Road
But its home,
the only life
I ever known
Only you
know how I loa the Tobacco Road
Gonna leave,
get a job
with the help
and the grace from above
Save some money,
get rich and old
Bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring that dynamite
and a crane
Blow it up,
start all over again
Build a town,
be proud to show
Gives the name Tobacco Road
But its home,
the only life
I ever known
Only you know
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.
Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?
Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum

[Chorus]
And I Will Keep You Warm

And Baby Through The Years
Even When We're Old And Gray
I Will Love You More Each Day
'Cause You Will Always Be The Lady In My Life
Stay With Me
Unforgettable, that's what you are
You're unforgettable though near or far
You are like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you that stings to me
Never before has someone someone been more
So, unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that is how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it is incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
Unforgettable in each every way
And forever more, that is how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
'Cause I was born in a dump
My mama died and my daddy got drunk
He left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road
I grew up in a rusty shack
All I owned was hangin' on my back
The Lord knows, how I loathe
This place called, Tobacco Road
But it's a home, yeah
The only life I'll ever know
And the Lord knows, I loathe
Tobacco Road, yeah
I'm gonna leave and get a job
With the help and the grace from above
Save my money and get rich I know
And bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up and start all over again
And I'll build a town, I'll be proud to show
And keep the name, Tobacco Road
'Cause it's a home, yeah, yeah
The only life I'll ever know
And despise you called you filthy but I love it
But I love you because you're my home
Hey, Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road
Now you're dirty and you're filthy
Tobacco Road
I'm gonna get me some dynamite
And I'll bring me a crane
And then blow it up
I'll tear down and start out all over again
Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road
And I love you, yeah
Because you're my home
But you're dirty and you're filthy
Tobacco Road
I'm gonna blow you up
I'm gonna tear you down
And I'll build me a town
That I will be proud to show
But I'll keep the name
I'm gonna keep the name
I'm gonna keep the name
A Tobacco Road, a Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road, road, road, road
I'm talkin' 'bout
They say into your early life romance came
And this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day and died away
Then, with disilution deep in your eyes
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
The years have changed you, somehow
I see you now
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant
Diamonds shining, dancing, dining with some man in a
restaurant
Is that all you really want?
No, sophisticated lady,
I know, you miss the love you lost long ago
The world of bright lights,
Of fortune and fame,
Where everybody struggles,
Tryin' to make themselves a name.
It's a world full of promises,
That sometimes don't ever come true.
It's an old, old business,
Such a cold, cold business.
It's like no business I know.
There ain't no business like show, show business.
It's like no, no business I know.
There's a world of big dreams,
Of laughter and tears,
Where sometimes your fame,
Is just a ????? on a ?????
Oh, oh,
It's a world of promises,
That sometimes don't ever come true, now.
And it's a rough, rough business.
Such a tough, tough business.
But it's my business, it's my life.
Your business,
That's what I'm talkin' about.
Show business,
That's what I'm talkin' about.
Today you're nobody,
Tomorrow a star.
The day after that,
Nobody knows who you are.
There's an in-betweenin',
And behind-the-scene'in', and
They hardly leave you cent.
And there's them good days,
And there's some bad, bady days,
Where you hardly pay your rent.
Woah oh.
But it's a world of music,
That somehow gets under your skin.
Oh yeah,
There ain't no, no business,
Like show, show business.
It's like no business,
That I know.
There ain't no business,
Like show, show business.
I tell there ain't no business like it, I know.
Talkin' 'bout show business!
Talkin' 'bout....
It's Spring again
I can hear the birds sing again
See the flowers start to bud
See young people fall in love
Well, it's Spring again
Thunder showers, they are here again
An extra hour for me and you
To spend together
Pretty colours are everywhere
Mother Nature, she still cares
Well, it's Spring again
The grass is turning green again
The warm air feels so good
Summer's not too far away
Pretty colours, they are everywhere
Mother Nature, she still cares
I said it's Spring again
I can hear the birds sing again
See the flowers start to bud
And I see young people fall in love
(Orchestral Break)
I said it's Spring again
And the grass is turning green again
The warm air feels so good
Summer's not too far away
And I said it's Spring again
Time for us to do all the things again
That we love to do in Spring again
Uh-ah-hah, uh-ah-hah, uu-ah-hah
I said it's Spring again
Time to hear the birds sing again
See the flowers bud again
Uh-ah-hah
It's Spring again
Spring again, Spring again, Spring again
I said it's Spring again
Another hour for us, yeah
To do all the things we love
Walking through a park
Holding hands under the moonlight
And I said it's Spring again
Aahhh, I said it's Spring again
Don't it make you feel good
Soon it will be Christmas day
Blink of bright red and green
Silver bells, silver bells
Silver bells, silver bells
Hear the snow crunch
Meeting smile after smile
It's Christmas time in the city
This is Santa's big scene
Strings of streetlights, even stoplights
Ring-a-ling hear them ring
And above all the bustle you'll hear
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Of Christmas
It's Christmas time in the city
Children laughing, people passing
Soon it will be Christmas day
As the shoppers rush home
In the air there's a feeling
And on every street corner you'll hear
See the kids bunch
Scotch and soda, mud in your eye,
Baby, do I feel high,
Oh me, oh my, do I feel high.
Dry martini, jigger of gin,
Oh, what a spell you've got me in,
Oh my, do I feel high.
People won't believe me,
They'll think that I'm just braggin'
That I could feel the way I feel,
And still be on the wagon.
All I need is one of your smiles,
Sunshine of your eyes, oh me, oh my,
Do I feel higher than a kite can fly!
Give me lovin', baby, I feel high.
People won't believe me,
They'll think that I'm just braggin'
That I could feel the way I feel,
And still be on the wagon.
All I need is one of your smiles,
Sunshine of your eyes, oh me, oh my,
Do I feel higher than a kite can fly!
I got a woman that lives up on a hill
I've got a girl that lives up on a hill
She wants to quit me
Oh, but I love her, still
Well, the girl's got eyes like a diamond
Teeth, that shine like gold
Pretty eyes, like a diamond, teeth that shine like gold
Every time she kissed me, she sends my mellow soul
Baby, you're so beautiful but you got to die one day
Oh yes, you're fine and you should be mine, just one
I just want little lovin' before you pass away
Oh, hold'em fast, come on, and jump and dive
Well, yes, I'ma have it, I'ma have it as a baby boy
My woman's gonna buy me a automatic kitty-car in the
morning
Everybody gettin' ride in the new car
Hey baby, baby, I'm going to leave you by yourself
Pretty baby, baby, I'm going to leave you by yourself
You see, you've mistreated me
Now, get on out there and mistreat somebody else
Where does that grab you?
Oh yes, I said yes
All I ever said was yes
If you'd ask me, I'd say, yes, yes, yes
Yes and no
Pretty baby, bye, bye
Gone, bye, gone, bye
Toxic, turned blue, Lady Tomato
Plants you do not find in the spring
Hold your breath, make a wish
Now count to three
Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin with a spin
Trav'lling in a world of my creation
What we'll see will defy explanation
If you wanna view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to do it
You wanna change the world
There's nothing to it
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly want to be
Come on c'mon go with me
You wanna see some bunny
Have a lot of fun -- c'mon let's go
Let's try our own imagination
See what we can go away from today
alright? Hey
Take me by the hand
Let us run from the little
little little
Little, little little funny land
Come on c'mon
Love had played its games on me so long,
I started to believe I'd never find anyone,
Doubt had tried to convince me to give in,
Said, "You can't win".
But one day the sun came a-shinin through,
The rain had stopped, and the skies were blue.
And oh, what a revelation to see,
Someone was saying, "I love you", to me.
A one in a million chance of a lifetime,
And life showed compassion,
And sent to me a stroke of love called, "You".
A one in a million you.
I was a lonely man with empty arms to fill
Then I found a piece of happiness to call my own
And life is worth livin' again
For to love you to me is to live
A one in a million chance of a lifetime,
And life showed compassion,
And sent to me a stroke of love called, "You".
A one in a million you.
A one in a million chance of a lifetime,
And life showed compassion,
And sent to me a stroke of love called "You"
One in a million you
Isn't it rich,
Aren't we a pair
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss,
Don't you approve
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns
Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines - no one is there
Don't you love farce,
My fault I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want,
Sorry my dear
But where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Quick send in the clowns
What a surprise,
Who could foresee?
I've come to feel about you what you felt about me
Why only now when I see that you've drifted away
What a surprise, what a cliché
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late in my career
And where are the clowns
Quick send in the clowns
Merry Christmas baby
Sure do treat me nice
Merry Christmas baby
Sure do treat me nice
Bought me a diamond ring for Christmas
I feel like I'm in paradise
I feel mighty fine, y'all
I've got music on my radio
Feel mighty fine, girl
I've got music on my radio, oh, oh, oh
I feel like I'm gonna kiss you
Standing beneath that mistletoe
Santa came down the chimney
Half past three, y'all
Left all them good ole presents
For my baby and for me, ha, ha, ha
Merry Christmas baby
Sure do treat me nice
You bought me all those good ole presents
I love you baby rest of my life

Happy new year, ha
A merry Christams, honey
Everything here is beautiful

For everything that you give me
They say the neon lights are bright
On broadway
They say theres always magic in the air
But when youre walkin down that street
And you aint got enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and youre nowhere
They say the chicks are somethin else
On broadway
But lookin at them just gives me the blues
cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime wont even shine your shoes
They say that I wont last too long
On broadway
Ill catch a greyhound bus for home they all say
But theyre dead wrong, I know they are
cause I can play this here guitar
And I wont quit till Im a star
On broadway
But theyre dead wrong, I know they are
cause I can play this here guitar
And I wont quit till Im a star

All up and down broadway
Boy, hand me down my walking cane
Boy, hand me down my walking cane
Hand me down my walking cane
I'm gonna take me a stroll down memory lane
Many a girl, I changed to love and woo
Many a girl, I changed to love and woo
Many a girl, I changed to love and woo
But a lot of woman quite like my Lana Lou
She had eyes that shine like stars above
I said, she had eyes, shine like stars above
She had eyes that shine like stars above
And a face as sweet as a mothers love
Ah, then I caught your hand, hand me down my walking cane
I want you to hand me down my walking cane
Oh, hand me down my walking cane
I want to walk with you
I like to talk to you
everything you say me trought and trought
yes darlin'
I'm still in love with you
I often wonder why
I always
just of the girl like you
you ran away and you left me
that's why I'm lonely and I'm blue
you know that I love you baby
and than I try to be true
i'm not going to try to break your heart darling
or do anything that will make us apart
Chains of love have tied my heart to you
Chains of love have made me feel so blue
Well now I'm your prisoner
Tell me what you gonna do
Are ya gonna leave me, are ya gonna make me cry?
Are ya gonna leave me, are ya gonna make me cry?
These chains are gonna haunt me until the day I die
Well, if you're gonna leave me please wontcha set me
free?
Well, if you're gonna leave me please wontcha set me
free?
I can't bear these chains that bind me
Unless you're here with me
Well it's three o'clock in the mornin', the moon is
shinin' bright
Yes it's three o'clock in the mornin', the moon is
shinin' bright
I just sit and wonder
It's too bad you belong
to somebody else
I wish you belonged to me
It's a don't nonchange you're loving
somebody else
I wish you were loving me
I can't take it no more
another day I'll go insane
it's getting hard to live
without your love
I see you most every day
but at night you go your way
and I go mine
It's too bad you belong
to somebody else
I wish you belonged to me
It's a don't nonchange you're loving
somebody else
Wish you were loving me
Every time you leave
my heart aches with so much pain
Gotta make a decision
about our love
You see I'll be with you during the week
Sunday, Saturday we don't speak
Monday you are mine again, mine again
I say it's too bad you belong
to somebody else
I wish you belonged to me
and it's a don't nonchange you're going home
somebody else
Would you come home with me?
I wish you belonged to me
It would be so nice
me and you together baby, oh girl
we could be loving each other
I can see us together forever
What we're gonna do baby?
What we are gonna do?
Don't you know life is short
we should be happy every moment
let's be together baby, oh girl
It's too bad you belong
to somebody else
I wish you belonged to me
It's a don't nonchange you are going home
to somebody else
Would you come home with me?
Once I laughed when I heard you saying
that I'd be playing solitaire,
uneasy in my easy chair.
It never entered my mind.
Once you told me I was mistaken,
that I'd awaken with the sun
and order orange juice for one.
It never entered my mind.
You have what I lack myself
and now I even have to scratch my back myself.
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd sing the looser's prayer again
and wish that you where there again
to have you by my side again.
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
Cause I got it bad, and that ain't good
My poor heart is sentimental
Not made of wood
I got it bad, and that ain't good
But when the weekend's over
And Monday rolls around
My man and me, we pray some,
We gin some and sin some
He don't love me
Like I love him
Nobody could
I got it bad, and that ain't good
Now folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
I'm glad I'm mad about him
I can't live without him
Lord above me,
Make him love me
The way he should
Like a lonesome weeping willow
Lost in the wood
The way I hug my pillow
No woman should
Hello girl it's been a while
Guess you'll be glad to know
That I've learned how to laugh and smile
Getting over you was slow
They say old lovers can be good friends
But I never thought I'd really see you
I'd really see you again
I go crazy
When I look in your eyes
I still go crazy
No my heart just can't hide that old feeling inside
Way deep down inside
Oh baby you know when I look in your eyes
I go crazy
You say she satisfies your mind
Tells you all of her dreams
I know how much that means to you
I realize that I was blind
Just when I thought I was over you
I see your face and it just ain't true
No it just ain't true
I go crazy
When I look in your eyes
I still go crazy
That old flame comes alive
It's starts burning inside
Way deep down inside
Oh baby
You know when I look in your eyes
I go crazy
I go crazy
You know when I look in your eyes
I go crazy
No my heart just can't hide
That old feeling inside
Way deep down inside
I go crazy
You know when I look in your eyes
I go crazy
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
Our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make your yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Gather be near to us once more.
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow.
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
don't want you to
Be no slave
I don't want you
To wake all day
I don't want you
To be true
I just want to make
Love to you
I don't want you to
Wash my clothes
I don't want you
To keep our home
I don't want your
Money too
I just want to make
Love to you
Love to you
Love to you
Love to you
They tell about the way you
Switch and walk
Now I can see by the way you
Baby talk
Now I can know by the way you
Treat your man
That I could love you baby until the
Cryin' shame
I don't want you to
Cook my bread
I don't want you
To make my bed
I don't want to
Because I'm sad and blue
I just want to make
Good night, my love
pleasant dreams and sleep
tight my love
may tomorrow be sunny and bright
and bring you closer to me
before you go
please remember i need you so
and it's love i have for you

in the still of the night
please have no fears
just close your eyes
then you'll realize
that my love will watch
over you dear always
good night, my love
pleasant dreams and sleep tight

may tomorrow be sunny and bright
Georgia, hey Georgia,
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Well I'm talkin' 'bout Georgia
Sweet, sweet Georgia
A song of you
It comes as sweet and as clear
As moonlight through the pines
Yeah, hey
Other arms reach out to me
And other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road, the road leads back to you
Hey Georgia,
Sweet, sweet, sweet Georgia
No, no, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Yeah
Well now, there are other arms that reach out to me
And other eyes, they smile tenderly
But still in my peaceful dreams I see
The road, the road leads straight on back to you
Hey Georgia,
Sweet, sweet, sweet Georgia,
No, no, no, no peace I find
Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Now just an old sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind
From now on everything has changed
And we will never be the same
The shame of our youth has been
Swallowed up in waves of grace
From now on everything has changed
From now on our whole
world has been re-arranged
As God reached down
to become man and clean the slate
Though we have come undone
Been blinded by the light of the sun
We are running into the arms of grace
We are finally seeing You face to face
And were singing songs of deliverance
For the return of our innocence
No longer are we walking the fence
Because the plot is finally making sense
The story has been told
For the world of deliverance
Under the law we lived by
Was the dream we kept
and looked so long for
A promise that You would
do away with what for so long
Had come between us,
This the day
That we can say
We've got a lifetime together
Forever
I'll take your hand
And we will stand
Here in the eyes of the beholders
Together
Do I take you this moment
And for my whole life through
Do I promise to love you
Forever I do, forever I do
Forever I do
I'll always love you
Forever I do
I promise to be true
Forever I do
I'll always be by your side
Forever I do
Forever I do
This band of gold
To have and to hold
I give to you as my token
Of my devotion
I take your hand
And we will stand
Here in the eyes of the beholders
Together
Do I promise to love you
And for my whole life through
Do I take you from this moment
Forever I do, forever I do
Forever I do
I'll always love you
Forever I do
I promise to be true
Forever I do
I'll always be by your side
Forever I do
Groovy people
I like to be around
Groovy, groovy people
I don't like nobody that's got an ego
I don't like to sit around and hold a conversation
With somebody who don't know where he wants to go
Give me the simple life
Full of fun and joy
Can't you see, I'm just a big ol' country boy
And I like groovy people
I'm talking 'bout
Groovy, down home people
I don't like nobody that's got an attitude
Walkin' 'round with their nose in the air
Them kind of people, I just can't use
I like to be relaxed
With my mind at ease
The best things in life
Is all I want for me
So give me some, groovy people
I said, groovy, groovy people
Talkin' 'bout groovy, groovy
Groovy, groovy people
Now baby, oh darlin', we don't have to put up
With them jive-time folks no more
Let's pretend that we're not at a-home
When they come knockin', knockin' on our door
I don't like nosy people
Get in my business and things
I done been through all of that, baby
And I know the bad feelings that it brings
Give me the simple life
Full of fun and joy
Can't you see I'm just a big ol' country boy?
And I like groovy people
I'm talkin' 'bout a groovy
Down home people

Who know how to brave the stormy weather
Them thats got shall get
Them thats not shall lose
So the bible says and it still is news
Mama may have papa may have
But God bless the child
That got its own, that got its own
Yes the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets dont ever make the grade
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child
Thats got its own, thats got its own
Money youve got lots of friends
Crowding around the door
When youre gone
And the spending ends
They dont come no more
Rich relations give
Crusts of bread and such
You can help your self
But dont take to much
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child
Seems I've got to have a change of scene
Cause every night I have the strangest dream
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to leave before I start to scream
But someone's locked the door and took the key
Ya feelin' alright?
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Well, ya feelin' Alright?
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Well boy you sure took me for one big ride
And even now I sit and wonder why
That when I think of you I start to cry
I just can't waste my time I must keep my eyes dry
Got to stop believin' in all your lies
Cause there's too much to do before I die
Ya feelin' alright?
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Well, ya feelin' alright?
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Don't get too lost in all I say
Like the time I really felt that way
But that was then and now it's today
Can't get off yet and so I'm here to stay
Till' someone comes along and takes my place
With a different name, yes, and a different face
Ya Feelin' alright?
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Well, ya feelin' alright?
Christmas is children who just can't go to sleep
Christmas is memories, the kind you always keep
Deck the halls and give a cheer
For all the things that Christmas is each year
Christmas is carols to warm you in the snow
Christmas is bedtime when no one wants to go
All the world is tinsel white
So glad to know that Christmas is tonight
Merry Christmas, baby
Oh yeah
Merry Christmas
Good cheer, good cheer
Merry Christmas, one and all
Christmas is carols to warm you in the snow
Christmas is bedtime when no one wants to go
All the world is tinsel white
So glad to know that Christmas is tonight
Christmas, Merry Christmas
When all your wishes come true, woo
Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas, baby
I hope you get a whole lotta good presents
And a lot of toys to play with, baby
The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
[Lou]
Yo, look, check it out!
Boy, is she hitting on all nine, here?
Why don't you vacate gate while I check it out.
It is too hip for me, you dig?
Hey momma,
You got a fine brown frame
And I wonder what could be your name
You look good to me, 'cause all I can see
Is your fine brown frame
Tell me, how long have you been around?
Baby, when did you hit this big town?
I wanna scream, 'cause I've never seen
Such a fine brown frame
Now all that I have is a broken down chair
But I would gladly make you queen on my throne
Don't be a square, why don't you come over here
'Cause together we could really get it on
Now you got a fine brown frame
Whoa, baby won't you tell me your name?
You are solid with me, 'cause all I can see
Is your fine brown frame
[Dianne]
You got a fine brown frame
And I wonder what could be your name
You look good to me, 'cause all I can see
Is your fine brown frame
Tell me, how long have you been around?
Baby, when did you hit this big town?
I wanna scream,(Ow!) 'cause I've never seen
Such a fine brown frame
Now all that I have is a broken down chair
But I would gladly make you king on my throne
Don't be a square, why don't you come over here
'Cause together we could really get it
on and on and on and
You got a fine brown frame
And I wonder, won't you tell me your name?
You're solid with me, 'cause all I can see
Is that fine brown frame
[Lou]
Now listen Dina, Dolly, Madonna, and Mabel
They are all fine as mink and sable
You may not be classed with the elite, baby
And you may not be hip to that jive,
Like they talk in the street
Oh-woh-woh-woh baby you,
You look like Venus done up in bronze
And I know I'm a clown whenever you're around
Because I'm crazy 'bout, mad about, wild about
When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you all of the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you all of the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
You know... That's, that's how its got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
You know... Thats how deep it goes if its really real
So when somebody needs you
It ain't no good unless he needs you
every step of the way
Through the good or lean years
All the in between years come what may
Now who knows where the road is gonna lead us
Only a fool would say
But I tell you if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love all of the way
So you think I love you for just one thing
To you my love that might be the way it seems
But I love the way that you carry yourself
I even love I love I love I love the way you wear your
hair
ain't that lovin you ain't that lovin you for more
reasons than one, well,
Some how my love you been misled,
by a lot of things that some other men said
But I love you, for what you are
I even love you I love you I love you I love you
for what you may become
Ain't that lovin you my baby, ain't that lovin you for
more reasons than one..
Well did it ever ocurr to you why I do all the things I
Just to keep a little smile upon your face
Cause I love you I love you I love you I love you in so
many ways..
Some how my love you been misled,
by a lot of things a whole lot of things, other men
have said
But I love you for what you are,
I even love you I love you I love you I love you for
what you may become!
Aint that lovin you baby, ain't that lovin you for more
reasons than one,

why do you think I work so hard for you woman?
Why do I get up so early in the mornin, cause I love

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit,
Sin auld lang syne.
We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.
And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne

You know, there was a time when,
if someone told you to do somethin',
you did it. Bam! Right on! No questions asked.
It was ;Yes, sir; and ;Yes, mam;.
You never said no. You know? Huh.
But, you know, things are changing nowadays.
It's a new day,babies.
Folks want to take their own lives into their hands
and make their own choices. No longer do they wanna go
along with the program 'cause everybody say
it's right. You know what I mean?
Let me tell ya what I'm talkin' about,
ya see, 'cause...
I don't want no gold watch for workin'
fifty years from nine till five
A-while the boss is guzzling champagne
and I'm beltin' beer in some dive
'Cause I want to be happy and free
Livin' and loving for me
I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
Like a natural man (like a natural man)
A natural man (like a natural man)
Well now, I refuse to listen to people's thinkin'
that I live too high
I'm gonna taste it now before my one life streaks
on by
'Cause I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
Just like a natural man (like a natural man)
I said a natural man (just like a natural man)
Well now, I tried to do what others say that I should
They say that I should fit in, fool 'em, fake it, well
Those kinda dues just make me crazy and blue
Man, I just can't take it
So when ya see me walkin', won't ya notice that proud
look in my eyes
My feet are on the ground and my soul is searchin' for
the sky
'Cause I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
Just like a natural man (just like a natural man)
A natural man (just like a natural man)
Just like a natural man (just like a natural man)
My feet are on the ground (just like a natural man)
My soul is searchin' for the sky (just like a natural
man)
Like a natural man (just like a natural man)
No more ;Yes, sir; (just like a natural man)
No more ;Yes, mam; (just like a natural man)
Huh, 'cause I'm a natural man (just like a natural man)
Does she love me, with all her heart
Should I worry, when we're apart
Well, It's a lover's question, I'd like to know.
I really wanna know.
Does she need me, as she pretends
Is this a game, well then will I win
It's a lover's question, I'd like to know
I'd like to know when she's not with me
If she's still true to me
I'd like to know when we're kissing
Does he feel just what I feel,
And how am I to know it's really real.
Oh, tell me where, the answer lies
Is it in her kiss or in her eyes
It's a lover's question I'd like to know.
I really wanna know.
I'd like to know when he's not with me
If he's still true to me
I'd like to know when we're kissing
Does she feel just what I feel,
And how am I to know it's really real.
Oh, tell me where, the answer lies
Is it in his kiss
or in her eyes
It's a lover's question I'd like to know
I'd like to know
Lady love, your love is peaceful
Like the summer's breeze
My lady love, with love that's tender
As a baby's touch
You give me all of the things
That I need so much
You're my world, lady love
Lady love, your love is cooling
Like the winter snow
My lady love, with love that's cozy
As a fire's glow
And I keep on needing you, girl
A little more and more
And I thank you, my lady love
You know, it's not easy to keep love flowing smooth
People are people and they all have their moods
But it's so nice just to have someone like you
Who wants a smooth and easy thing
And all the good times that it brings
My lady love, you've been with me
Through all of my ups and downs
My lady love, I once was lost
But now with you I'm found
You got the love I need
And I want to stay around
Heaven sent you down, my lady love
Let me tell you that it's not easy to keep love flowing smooth
You know, people are people, they all have their moods
But it's so nice just to have someone like you
Who wants a smooth and easy thing
And all the good times and the joy that it brings
My lady love, you've been with me
Through all of my ups and downs
And my crazy turn-arounds
My lady love, you got the love I need
So stay around
Heaven sent my lady love
Lady love, sweet lady love
You are so good to me
Lady love, like a warm summer breeze
(So glad I found my lady love, lady love)
You'll never find
as long as you live
Someone who loves you
tender like I do
You'll never find
no matter where you search
Someone who cares about you
the way I do
Woh I'm not braggin'
on myself baby
But I'm the one
who loves you
And there's no one else
No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
one else
You'll never find
It'll take the end
of all time
Someone to understand you
like I do
You'll never find
the rhythm, the rhyme
All the magic we shared
just us two
Woh, I'm not tryin' to make
you stay, baby
But I know some how
some day, some way
You are
(You're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin'
(You're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin'
(You're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss
you're gonna miss my love
Woh oh oh oh oh
(You're gonna miss my lovin')
Late in the midnight hour, baby
(You're gonna miss my lovin')
When it's cold outside
(You're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss
you're gonna miss my love
You'll never find
another love like mine
Someone who needs you
like I do
You'll never see
what you've found in me
You'll keep searching and searching
your whole life through
Woh I don't wish you
no bad luck, baby
But there's no ifs
and buts or maybes
(You're gonna)
You're gonna miss (miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin'
(You're gonna miss my lovin')
I know you're gonna my lovin'
(You're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss
you're gonna miss my love
Woh oh oh oh oh
(You're gonna miss my lovin')
Late in the midnight hour, baby
(You're gonna miss my lovin')
When it gets real cold outside
(You're gonna miss my lovin')
I know, I know that you
are gonna miss my love
Let me tell you that
you're gonna miss my lovin'
Yes you will, baby
(You're gonna miss my lovin')
When I'm long gone
(You're gonna miss my lovin')
I know, I know, I know that
you are gonna miss my lovin'
Woh oh oh oh oh
(You're gonna miss my lovin')...
