If you hear her cry at night
Better turn on your light
Maybe your baby's got the blues
When she says there's nothing wrong
She just wants to be alone
You can bet your babys got the blues
(Chorus)
Women Like men to make the first move
And touch her like he used to
When there's achin' in her heart
Only tenderness can find
Women like men to make them feel alive
And keep her apron strings untied
Yes women like men
To love them through the blues sometime
When her days all run the same
And she says she thinks she needs a change
Maybe your baby's got the blues
If she says she's just a wife
And so far from the glamorous life
You can bet your baby's got the blues
(Repeat Chorus)
Yes women like men
I laid a red rose on your front porch
And wrote 'I love you' on a note
I rang the doorbell and turned to go
Baby when the curtains moved, I couldn't believe the view
I saw the light in your window tonight
I saw two shadows holdin' each other tight
I know the truth, when I look in your eyes
I saw the light in your window tonight
So take your cheatin' hands off my red dress
'Cause I ain't wearin' this thing for you
I see you clearly now and your lies too
They say that love is blind, baby not this time
I saw the light in your window tonight
I saw two shadows holdin' each other tight
I know the truth when I look in your eyes
I saw the light in your window tonight
Why baby why, should I listen to you?
I cry baby cry, now I'm walkin' out the door
They say that love is blind, baby not this time
I saw the light in your window tonight
I saw two shadows holdin' each other tight
I know the truth when I look in your eyes
I saw the light in your window tonight
I know the truth when I look in your eyes
Here's a little girl playin' dress up
Somewhere under all that lace
Standin' in her mama's high heeled shoes
With a lipstick covered face
And here's a little boy on a pony
He's a cowboy all the way
He used to pull my hair and make me mad
At the Saturday matinee
Who would've thought that I'd lose my heart
To the same little boy someday
Lookin' through my old pictures, faded photographs
Some of them bring me close to tears, others make me laugh
Old memories seem to come alive
And open up the past again and let me dream inside
Here's brother with his very first automobile
Thought he'd washed the paint away
He took a job that took him West
He's doing very well and we don't see much of brother these days
Oh, and this is my favorite of my papa
He's dressed up in his Sunday suit
A wide brimmed hat, a watch on a chain
Well, I'm gonna tell you the truth
It's a picture of a downright handsome man
Caught in the prime of his youth
Lookin' through my old pictures, faded photographs
Some of them bring me close to tears, others make me laugh
Old memories seem to come alive
And open up the past again and let me dream inside
Are the roses not blooming this morning
Has the sun lost it's beautiful ray
Have the children no reason for laughing
Or my darling are you walking away
Has the sky lost it's brilliant blue color
Are the robins
Not singing today
has that river
No reason for running
Or my darling
Are you walking away
Has my heart found a reason
For breaking in two
Have my eyes found a reason to cry
have my ears heard the voice of a stranger
Or my darling
Are you saying goodbye
Has the earth lost
It's power for turning
Has the winter decided to stay
Are the roses not blooming this morning
Or my darling are you walking away
Are the roses not blooming this morning
Or my darling are you walking away
I'd gladly walk across the desert
With no shoes upon my feet
To share with you the last bite
Of bread i had to eat
I would swim out to save you
In your sea of broken dreams
When all your hopes are sinkin'
Let me show you what love means
(chorus)
Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don't you think it's time?
Don't you think it's time?
I would whisper love so loudly, every heart could
understand
That love and only love can join the trials of man
I would give my heart's desire so that you might see
The first step is to realize that it all begins with
you and me.
Chorus
When we stand together, it's our finest hour
We can do anything, anything
We're believin in the power
The way she treats you
Is a dog gone crime
I just get blue about it all the time
Drives me crazy
How she walks that line
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way baby
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
I ain't sayin' that she's bad to you
She does every little thing a lover should do
Any fool could see that her love is true
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way baby
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
She ain't the only one
Who loves you dear
She ain't the only one
Who needs you near
How am I ever goin' to have my day
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
See you walkin' with her
Hand in hand
By the look on your face
You're a happy man
She's ruinin all of my best laid plans
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way baby
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way baby
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
She ain't the only one
Who loves you dear
She ain't the only one
Who needs you near
How am I ever goin' to have my day
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
Wish she wouldn't treat you that way baby
I'm a one man woman
I want a one woman man
I've got two arms to hold him
To love him all I can
Now it's a free world we live in
It's this I understand
But i'm a one man woman
I want a one woman man
I don't need nobody
Handing me those lines
Saying I can keep my freedom
In these modern times
I want a ring on my finger
For all the world to see
And when I get home from working
He'll be waiting here for me
(Chorus)
I don't want nobody
Pulling me around
Loving me then leaving
Someone else downtown
If he ain't true and steady
Then he ain't in my plans
Cause i'm a one man woman
I want a one woman man
(Chorus)
Cause i'm a one man woman
There's one hundred and one
Little reasons why
I should leave you here say goodbye
But I just can't seem to say we're through
And the reasons why
Are one hundred and two
One hundred and one
Little tears fall
And every drop
Makes me feel so small
But hard as I try
I can't leave you
And the reasons why baby
Are one hundred and two
I'm countin' up
The times I've cried
The times you'd leave
The times you lied
And everyday
I'm keeping score
When it all adds up
I need you more
One hundred and one
Lonely nights
you leave me here
Now honey, that ain't right
But, still I forgive
Everything you do
And the reasons why
Are one hundred and two
Yeah, the reasons why baby
Are one hundred and two
There's one hundred and one
Little reasons why
But, one hundred and two
There are guys who will lie
Then they'll hang you out to dry
But not my baby
Promise you everything
Then they never buy the ring
But not my baby
Say they're out with their pals
When they're seein' other gals
But not my baby
And they think it's a crime
When they have to spend a dime
But not my baby
Bring you gifts now and then
Always from the five and ten
But not my baby
And I've heard stories of
Guys afraid to fall in love
But not my baby
[Chorus]
I don't have to dream
My dream baby
He's the sweetest dream
That's already come true
And every time we touch, just touch
I can feel how very much
How much he loves me
Not my baby
No, not my baby
[Chorus]
There are guys that I've seen
Who are wrong or being mean
But not my baby
Getting mad, getting cross
If you don't let them be boss
But not my baby
Yes, I've sure got a lot
And the best thing that I've got
I've got my baby
And I know he will stay
He will never go away
No, not my baby
No, not my baby
No, not my baby
Met my first love down in Texas
In a club in San Anton'
Both of us were lonely
Had no one to call our own
So we danced and laughed 'til closin' time
And had no place to go
So with the top pulled down, drove all night
Run off to Mexico
But my blond haired blue eyed cowboy
Turned out to be bad news
Disappeared one morning
Left his old boots and the blues
Now there's been so many others
But none of them were true
The only one I could count on
To keep me company is you
(Chorus)
Mr. Pain-- Oh, it's you agian
Never really wanted us to be such friends
You always seem to show up
When I'm all alone
That's when you move right in
And make yourself at home
Mr. Pain , Oh, Mr. Pain
We'll you'd think by now that I'd have learned
To see through your disguise
A heartache really shouldn't be
So hard to recoginze
But you wear so many face
Every line is new
And somehow I just always end up
Wakin' up with you
(Chorus)
Mr Pain-- Oh, it's you again
Never really wanted us to be such friends
Never fail to find when I'm all alone
That's when you move right in
Mama,I found someone
Like yousaid would come along
He's a sight, so unlike
Any man I've known
I was afraid to let him in
'Cause I'm not the trustin' kind
But now I'm convinced
That he's heaven sent
And I must be out of my mind
(Chorus)
Mama, he's crazy
Crazy over me
And in my life is where he says
He always wants to be
I've never been so in love
He beats all I've ever seen
Mama, he's crazy
He's crazy over me
And Mama, you've always said,
"Better look before you leap!"
Maybe so, but here I go
Lettin my heart lead me
He thinks I hung the moon and the stars
I think he's a livin' dream
Well, there are men
But ones like him
Are few and far between
Love ain't a candle
It doesn't burn for one night
And need the dark to shine
Love is alive
And love ain't just a word
In every dictionary
With no where defined
Love is a man and he's mine
Love is alive
And at breakfast table
Everyday of the week
Love is alive
And it grows everyday and night
Even in our sleep
Love is alive
And it's made a happy woman out of me
Oh, love is alive
And here by me
Love ain't just a rule
A distant far away dream
That needs the night to rise
Love is alive
And love ain't just a song
Sweet words of music
To go dancin' by
Love is a man and he's mine
Oh, love is alive
And at breakfast table
Everyday of the week
Love is alive
And it grows everyday and night
Even in our sleep
Love is alive
And it's made a happy woman out of me
Oh, love is alive
And here by me
Oh, love is alive
And at breakfast table
Everyday of the week
Love is alive
And it grows everyday and night
Even in our sleep
Love is alive
And it's made a happy woman out of me
Oh, love is alive
And here by me
Love is alive, here by me
Well ever since the day that time began
There's been this thing 'tween a woman and a manv We'll, I don't know but I do believe
It started in the garden with Adam and Eve
Sampson and Delilah had their fling
'Til she cut his hair and clipped his wing
It don't matter how the story's told
Love stays young it can't grow old
(Chorus)
Let me tell you about love
About the moon and stars above
It's what we've all been dreamin' of
Let me tell you about love
Well, Bonaparte and Josephine
I believe they had a pretty good scene
Until she said Bonnie boy, we're through
That's when he met his Waterloo
Julie baby and Romeo
Fell in love and stole the show
I know they are history
But there ain't been nothin' like you and me
(Repeat Chorus)
Now Sheba she was a beauty queen
The purtiest thing that you ever have seen
Soloman he was a mighty wise
Sheba she done caught his eye
The world would be in a dreadful fix
If it wasn't for the love between the cats and chicks
The world wouldn't amount to much
Without a hug and a kiss and a tender touch
(Repeat Chorus)
Let me tell you about love
Let me tell you about love
Lazy country evening
Sittin' by you
The baby's
In his cradle
And the day's
Almost through
Red sunset
Over pine trees
I'm feelin'
High as the mountain
Free
As the breeze
Yodeleeo, Yodeleeo
Yodeleeo, Yodeleeo
Whippoorwill calls
Darkness falls
The perfect
Way to say
Time to close
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at they birth
I'm holding back a flood of tears
Just thinking 'bout those happy years
Like all the good times that are no more
My love is gone...gone...gone forever more
Silence so deep only my soul can hear
Says now the past is what I fear
The future isn't what it used to be
Only today is all that's promised me
Flow on, river of time
Wash away the pain and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Carry me away
And leave it all far behind
Flow on river of time
We're all driven by the winds of change
Seems like nothing ever stays the same
It's fate that guides me around the bend
Life's forever beginning, beginning again
Flow on, river of time
Wash away the pain and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Carry me away
And leave it all far behind
Flow on river of time
Carry me away and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Carry me away and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Flow on
Carry me away and heal my mind
Flow on river of time
Flow on
I woke up this morning and the sun refused to shine
I looked everywhere to try to find that man of mine
I just found an ice cold pillow layin' by my side
Well the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone
I looked out the window and I could not help but cry
He left me all alone and never said goodbye
He even took that golden sunlight from the sky
Well the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and the baby's gone
Sit here and wonder why he left me
I just try to think what I've done wrong
Stay in the darkness of this lonely room
Well the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone
Woke Up this morning and the sun refused to shine
I looked everywhere to try to find that man of mine
I just found an ice cold pillow layin' by my side
Well the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone
Well the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone
Ain't no moonlight, ain't no starlight
Ain't no sunlight. my baby's gone
One little tear drop
That's how it starts
Can turn into a river
It'll drown your heart
When the river starts a flowin'
The damn will break
One little tear drop
Is all it takes
One little tear drop
You can hardly see
Can turn into an ocean
Between you and me
If we don't do something
Two hearts will break
And one little tear drop
Is all it takes
Tell me that you love me
Tenderly and true
Say you'll be there for me
And I'll be there for you
It only takes a moment
To heal a heart that aches
So hold me in your arms
'Cause, darlin', all it takes
Is one little tear drop
That's brushed aside
By true love's hand
To turn the tide
So hold me gently
Our love's at stake
On little tear drop
Is all it takes
(Repeat First Verse)
One little tear drop
Is all it takes
One little tear drop
Is all it takes
Just one little tear drop
One little tear drop
Two hearts will break
Just one little tear drop
That's how it starts
Just one little tear drop
Will drown your heart
Just one little tear drop
Is all it takes
One little tear drop
Two hearts will break
Just one little tear drop
Christmas makes you feel emotional
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens whatever may be
Here is what Christmas time means to me
Silver bells silver bells it's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling hear them ring soon it will be Christmas Day
City sidewalks busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing people passing meeting smile after
smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells silver bells...
Silver bells silver bells
[ guitar ]
Ring a ling hear them ring soon it will be Christmas Day
O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
The keeper of the gates of wisdom
Please let me in
Cause I just can't go through
Another heartache again
Pretty lies and alibis
How could I be so blind?
Now I'm all alone and scared to stay
Slowly going out of my mind
He was my strongest weakness
I surrendered heart and soul
Its gonna be a long, long time
'Til I regain control
I'm still a prisoner
Held captive by his memory
He was my strongest weakness
And I'm afraid hell always be
I gave my faithful heart to someone
I couldn't understand
How he held my little world
In the palm of his hand
Now he's gone and life goes on
So if this pain will ever end
Will I be afraid to risk it all
Ever fall in love again?
He was my strongest weakness
I surrendered heart and soul
Its gonna be a long, long time
Til I regain control
I'm still a prisoner
Held captive by his memory
He was my strongest weakness
If I were you
I'd think it over
Take your time
Before you leave
Everyone wants the perfect lover
If I were you
I'd fall in love with me
If I were you
I'd just remember
Don't miss the forest for the trees
The mighty flame
Was once an ember
If I were you I'd fall in love with me
If I were you
I'd wisper sweet I love you's everyday
If I were you, I'd never ever let me get away
If I were you
I'd look me over
Theres much more than what you see
I can prove You'll need no other
Who is this baby
Where did he come from
He's the son of a carpenter
The chosen one
He's the hope of the angels
A gift of his love
Just a child in a manger
Gods only son
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Shepards were watching
Out under the sky
When the star over Bethlehem
Lit up the night
He's the light in the darkness
A gift from above
He is held with the spirit
Of Gods holy love
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Angels sing
River roll on
Wish I could be like you
No looking back
And no heart that breaks in two
You'll never now
What a goodbye can do
Oh, I wish I were you
River roll on
River roll on
Free as the winds that blow
Feelin' no pain
We just roll'em with the flow
No tears to cry
No songs to make you blue
Oh, I wish I were you
River roll on
Oh, I never thought that
I could ever feel so all alone
But I'm learnin'
The world keeps on a turnin'
Even though he's gone
River roll on
Keep rollin' endlesslyv Down to the arms
Of the ever waiting sea
I wish that I had someone waitin' too
Oh, I wish I were you
River roll on
I wish that I had someone waitin' too
Oh, I wish I were you
River roll on
Oh, I wish I were you
River roll on
River roll on
River roll on
Over the ground lies a mantle of white
A heaven of diamonds shine down through the night
Two hearts are thrilling in spite of the chilling
weather
Sleigh bells ring are you listening in the lane snow is
glistening
It's beautiful sight we're happy tonight walking in the
winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird here to stay is a newbird
He sings a love song as we go alone walking in the
winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build the snowman and pretend that
he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you merry we'll say no man but you can do
the job here in town
Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire
The face on the frame the vows that we made walking in
the winter wonderland
[ guitar ]
Love knows no season love knows no clime
Romance can blossom any old time
Here in the open we're walking and hoping together
Sleigh bells ring are you listening...
In the meadow we can build the snowman...
Later on we'll conspire...
The face on the frame the vows that we made walking in
the winter wonderland
Walking in the winter wonderland walking in the winter
I want to tell 'bout my lover
And I want to tell you 'bout my best friend
Compared to all the others
He's a little bit different
A friend saw him on the town
Said he was turnin' all the pretty girls down
She said, "You really should be proud of him."
(Chorus)
Isn't he a strange one?
He thinks comin' on to me is a whole lot of fun
He doesn't want anybody else but me
Isn't he a strange one?
He thinks I hung the moon
He's pretty sure I was the one
And I'm glad he'll never be
A stranger to me
I know he's one in a million
When he says I'm the one that he's dreamin' of
I hope he doesn't wake up anytime soon
From this honeymoon
My girlfriends are turnin' green with envy
They want to know are there anymore at home like him
Cupid must be really watchin' over me
(Repeat Chorus)
Yeah, I' m glad he'll never be
A stranger to me
Isn't he a strange one?
When I say I want you
When I say I need you
Why don't you believe me?
When I say I miss you
When I'm not there with you
Why don't you believe me?
True love is so hard to find
Why are you running away from mine?
When I say just call me
Anytime you want me
Why don't you believe me?
When I say I'll be there
Now until forever
Why don't you believe me?
True love is so hard to find
Why are you running away from mine?
So, darlin', don't be afraid
I'll never leave you alone
I don't care how long it takes
I'm willing to wait
'Til you make my heart your home
When you say I want you
When I say I need you
Why don't you believe me?
Believe me
Why don't you believe me?
Belive me
When you hit rock bottom
You've got two ways to go
Straight up
And sideways
I have seen my share of hard times
And I letting you know
Straight up
Is my way
Things are tough all over
But I've got good news
When you get down to nothing
You've got nothing to lose
I was born naked
But I glory bound
And a dead end street
Is just a place to turn around
(Chorus)
When the sky is the limit
Up on easy street
Rock bottom
Ain't no place to be
Rock bottom
Ain't no place for me
When the law of the jungle
Is the law of the land
Good luck
Stayin alive
I keep a clinched fist under
This hat in my hand
Cause only the strong survive
Things are tough all over
But I've got good news
Sittin in the porch swing
Listenin' to the light rain
Beatin' on the tin roof
Baby, just a-me and you
Rockin' with the rhythm of the rain
Slide on over
Baby hold me closer
Movin' to and fro
Just swayin' like a slow freight train
Rockin' with the rhythm of the rain
So let the breeze keep blowin'...
(Rockin with the rhythm of the rain that's fallin')
(Night birds are singin' the crickets are callin')
Oh, my heart will never be the same.
Keep the sweet feelin' flowin'...
(Whisper in my ear baby)
(Ooh, feels so fine)
(Nights like this come once in a lifetime)
Me and my baby rockin' with the rhythm of the rain
Oh baby hold me tight
Say-hey-hey you love me
That's all I want to hear tonight
Sittin in the porch swing
Listenin to the light rain
Beatin' on the tin roof
Baby, just me and you
Rockin' with the rhythm of the rain
Slide on over
Baby hold me closer
Movin' to and fro
Just swayin' like a slow freight train
Rockin' with the rhythm of the rain
So let the breeze keep blowin'...
(Rockin with the rhythm of the rain that's fallin')
(Night birds are singin' the crickets are callin')
Oh, my heart will never be the same.
Keep the sweet feelin' flowin'...
(Whisper in my ear baby)
(Ooh, feels so fine)
(Nights like this come once in a lifetime)
Me and my baby rockin' with the rhythm of the rain
Me and my baby rockin with the rhythm of the - rain...
His letter came this morning
C.O.D.
Says he's found somebody
Who reminds him of me
He says he needs some space
That might be the case
Wasn't even man enough
To tell me to my face
I got the rompin', stompin'
Bad news blues
He stole my money
He stole my time
When he stole my heart
Honey, he really crossed that line
A major felony
Send out an A.P.B.
Go tell that thief of hearts
To bring it on back to me
I got the rompin', stompin'
Bad news blues
Well, come tonight
I'm steppin' out
Gonna sing and dance
Gonna shake and shout
Forget about ol' what's his name
You know two can play this game
Whatever it takes to lose
These rompin', stompin'
Bad news blues
Well, men are full of trouble
Girl, that ain't nothin' new
We ain't found nothin' better
And until the day we do
Sister friend, be wise
Just realize
Stay away from the ones
Who'll do you wrong and tell you lies
They'll give you the rompin', stompin'
Bad news blues
That's right
They'll give you the rompin', stompin'
When they plant me like a seed in the ground
In silent sleep beneath some mossy mound
I'll be like a rose just waitin' for the spring
'Cause I'm a gonna rise up, rise up, shout and sing
'Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
When I hear, I hear that trumpet sound
I know I've been a dyin' since the day that I was born
But now I'm living for that resurrection morn'
(Chorus)
When King Jesus calls his children home
When King Jesus calls his children home
I'm a gonna wear my snow white gown
I'm gonna put on a starry crown
When King Jesus calls his children home
Like a bird in a cage that's been set free
My soul will sing throughout eternity
I'll shed this mortal shell, oh, let ol' Satan stay in
hell
I'll see glory that no human tongue can tell
(Repeat Chorus)
Ye know not the hour
Ye know not the day
So, be humble, my children
Hide and watch and pray
(Repeat Chorus)
It doesn't matter if your rich or poor
If your old or young
Everybody, every now and then
Has got to have some fun
So turn up the music
Turn up the juice
Put me in the spotlight
And turn me loose
You better hold on tight
This country's gonna rock tonight
(Chorus)
This country's rockin'
To the beat of a brand new drum
Back in Kentucky where I come from
They love to hear that old a guitar strum
This country's rockin'
Jump back and let the bad boys play
Everywhere across the USA
This country's rockin' all the way
You might ride a horse, drive a Porsche
Or cruise in limousines
eat caviar with champagne
Or cornbread with your pinto beans
But there's one thing
In which we all agree
We love our country music
like the queen loves tea
What a lovely sight
We're gonna rock tonight
(Repeat Chorus)
uh, oh, feel me
(Repeat Chorus)
Everywhere across the USA
In my dreams
You belong to me
She doesn't mean a thing
She never wore your ring
In my dreams
My greatest wish comes true
My arms are holding you
In my dreams
(Chorus)
I hear your laughter
And I taste your lips
I feel you tremble
At my fingertips
Each night you're mine
But each morning finds you gone
In my dreams
My soul is wide awake
Craving the love we make
In my dreams
(Repeat Chorus)
In my dreams
I'll hide this love I steal
'Til you feel what my heart feels
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
Well, brother, better get right with God
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan?
While here upon this Earth, do try
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan?
(Chorus)
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan?
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan?
Glad souls are singin'
And the joy be ringin'
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan?
Well, get to church and listen to the preacher
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan?
Get right with God and He'll be your teacher
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan?
(Chorus)
Well, you better get on your knees and pray
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan?
Let Jesus wash your sins away
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan?
(Chorus)
(Repeat First Verse)
(Chorus)
What child is this, who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear for sinners here
The silent word is pleading
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant king to own Him
The King of Kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
I would walk ten miles on my hands and knees
Ain't no doubt about it, baby, it's you I aim to please
I'd wrestle with a lion and a grizzly bear
It's my life, baby, but I don't care
Ain't that tuff enuff, ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff, ain't that tuff enuff
For you, baby, I would swim the sea
Nothin' I'd do for you that's too tough for me
I'd put out a burning building with a shovel and dirt
And not even worry about getting hurt
Ain't that tuff enuff, ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff, ain't that tuff enuff
I'd work twenty-four hours, seven days a week
Just so I could come home and kiss your cheek
I love you in the morning and I love you at noon
I love you in the night and take you to the moon
Ain't that tuff enuff, ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff, ain't that tuff enuff
Lay in a pile of buring money that I've earned
And not even worry about getting burned
I'd climb the Empire State and fight Muhammad Ali
Just to have you, baby, close to me
Ain't that tuff enuff, ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff, ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff, ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff, ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff, ain't that tuff enuff
Some call it country with a little bit of rhythm and blues
And when the boys start rockin'
There's a beat that you just can't lose
Where it's gonna take us nobody knows
It sure feels good to the body and soul
(Chorus)
I love the slide of a steal guitar
I love the moan of an old blues harp
I love the shake of a tamborine
I love the bass when it's low and mean
So put on your shoutin' shoes
And turn it loose
Turn it loose
You feel like dancin'
And you just can't stay in your seat
Your knees start knockin'
And you can't help stompin' your feet
Before you even know it you'll be singin' a long
Makes me wanna stay hear all night long
(Repeat Chorus)
Turn it loose
Everybody put on your shoutin' shoes and turn it loose
High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely in every way
Got the flats all around me, sky up above
Yes, I need a little water of love
I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain
Cryin' out for some soothing rain
I believe I've taken enough
Yes, I need a little water of love
(Chorus)
Water of love, deep in the ground
But there ain't no water here to be found
Someday, baby, when the river runs free
It'll carry that water of love to me
Once I had a man I could call my own
Once I had a man, now my man is gone
Once there was a river, now there's a stone
You know it's evil when you're living alone
Dance with me Darlin' till dawn
I wanna sway in your arms
'Til the stars fade away
Fade away
Moving together as one
'Til the first gentle rays of the sun
Light up the day
Light the day
(Chorus)
And while the music still plays
Please let me hear you keep saying
Over and over I'm falling
Falling in love with you
Say there's no way I could lose you
Hold me tight
I'm falling in love tonight
Touch me and tell me it's true
That I'm not asleep and that you
Are not just a dream
Just a dream
Here with your heart pressed to mine
We flow like the river that winds
It's way to the sea
To the sea
(Chorus)
Say there's no way I could lose you
Hold me tight
I'm falling in love tonight
Hold me tight
One day a mother
Come to a prison
To see an 'erring
But precious son
She told the warden
How much she loved him
It did not matter
What he had done
She did not bring to him
(Bring to him)
Parole or pardon
(Pardon free)
She brought no silver
(Brought no gold)
No pomp nor style
(Him to see)
It was a halo
(Halo bright)
Sent down from heaven
(Heaven's light)
The sweetest gift
(A mother's smile)
Her boy had wandered
Far from the far side
Though she had pleaded
With him each night
But not a word did
She ever utter
That told her heartaches
Her smile was bright
(Repeat Chorus)
She left a smile
You can remember
She's gone to heaven
From heartache's free
Them bars around you
Will never change her
He was her baby
An error will be
(Repeat Chorus)
It was a halo bright
Sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift
Everybody read about it
You can find it in the checkout line
They say I got husbands a-leavin', boyfriends a-callin'
And problems that ain't even mine
Well, all that trash don't bother me none
It's all just part of the game
I'm just a good hearted down-home country girl
And you all know my name
I like to ride, I need my space
And I love being at home
But if you wanna' get right into my heart
Take a left at the wyld unknown
The wyld unknown
You don't wanna' cross my little mama
And you sure don't wanna mess with me
'Cause there's a wild streak running down from the roots
To the top of my family tree
I'm a woman of passion, a woman of faith
As honest as I can be
To tell you the truth, I'm bulletproof
So take your best shot at me
I like to ride, I need my space
And I love being at home
But if you wanna' get right into my heart
Take a left at the wyld unknown
The wyld unknown
The wyld unknown
I'll show you somethin'
That you ain't never been shown
Whenever trouble finds me
I always take my share of the blame
I'm the kind of girl who can rock your world
Or love you like a hurricane
I'm a woman of passion, a woman of faith
As honest as I can be
To tell you the truth, I'm bulletproof
So take your best shot at me
I like to ride, I need my space
And I love being at home
But if you wanna get right into my heart
Take a left at the wyld unknown
Billy was a small town loner
Who never did dream
Of ever leaving southern Arizona
Or ever hearing wedding bells ring
He never had a lot of luck with the ladies
But he sure had a lot of good working skills
Never cared about climbing any ladder
He knew the way in a small cafe, found the will
He met Miss Bonnie
And a little bit of her was a little too much
A few movies and a few months latter
The feeling got strong enough
They didn't own a car
So it must have been love
That drove him uptown for a diamond
That's when he started goin?
Over the line
Working overtime
To give her things just to hear her say she don't
deserve them
But he loves her and he just kept going overboard
Over the limit to afford to give her things he knew she
wanted
'Cause without her where would he be?
See, it's not for him
She is his only need
Ring on her finger and one on the ladder
A new promotion every now and then
Bonnie worked until she couldn't tie her apron
Then stayed at home and had the first of two children
And my, how the time did fly
The babies grew up and moved away
Left 'em sitting on the front porch rocking
And Billy watching Bonnie's hair turn gray
And every once in a while you could see him get up
And he's head downtown
'Cause he heard about something she wanted
And it just had to be found
Didn't matter how simple or how much
It was love
And, boy, ain't that love just something
When it's strong enough to keep a man goin?
Over the line
Working overtime
To give her things just to hear her say she don't
deserve them
But he loves her and he just kept going overboard
Over the limit to afford to give her things he knew she
wanted
'Cause without her where would he be?
See, it's not for him
She is his only need
Over the line
Working overtime
She is his only need
His only need
Overboard
Over the limit
Just for her
Heartaches
You know my heart aches
Everytime I think of you
Lonesome
I'm on my own some
Yes, I could loan some
Tears for you
Daybreak
Another day break
And I wonder
How I got through
You know sleepin'
I'm only sleepin'
In between my weepin'
Tears for you
You know that one night
One night can be such a long night
At midnight
I know all the stars by name
But it's alright
I'll get myself together
Nothin' lasts forever
I'll just play another game
Because mistakes
Everyone makes mistakes
Can one kiss make
Dreams come true
Nice try
I'll just say goodbye
Let someone else cry
Tears for you
Tears for you
Tears for you
Tears for you
When I awoke
There you stood beside me
I wonder now were you there all the time
Like a rose beneath the snow I've been waiting
And it took your kiss to make me come alive
(Chorus)
Sleeping heart, love is all around you
Empty arms, what are you waiting for
Rub your eyes your handsome prince has found you
Sleeping heart, Sleep no more
You don't have to tell me where you come from
I loved you in my dreams a long long time
In my slumber I kept seeing someone
And I recognized you when your lips touched mine
(Repeat Chorus)
Rub your eyes your handsome prince has found you
Through these sleepless nights
I cry for you
And wonder who is kissing you
Oh, these sleepless nights
Will break my heart in two
Somehow through the days
I don't give in
I hide the tears that wait within
Oh, but then through sleepless nights
I cry again
Why did you go?
Why did you go?
Don't you know?
Don't you know
I need you?
I keep hoping you'll come back to me
Oh, let it be, please let it be
Oh, my love, please end
These sleepless nights for me
My love, please end
(Chorus)
Love, talk about love
Why do you always
Wanna talk about love?
Love, talk about love
Why do you always
Wanna talk about it?
I say that love
Is something you feel
You know in your heart
If it's real
But you've got to analyze
Organize, synchronize, formalize
And compromise
(Repeat Chorus)
I say love
It's like when you sing
You move to the music
When the words don't mean a thing
But, know you've got to clarify
Define it and refine it
Align and realign it
(Repeat Chorus)
You don't have to understand
Every little thing between
A woman and a man
True love
Comes from deep inside
Try to use your logic
And you'll only lose your mind
Dear Mama, well here's a letter from your girl
Well I think my city days are done gone
And it ain't been three weeks since I came
And Mama, do remember what you said
Say your prayers before you go to bed child
And remember city boys ain't the same
(Chorus)
On like a John Deere Tractor
In a half acre field
Tryin' to plow a furrow
Where the soil is mighty still
How I wish I was home mom
Where the blue grass is growin'
And the sweet country boys don't complain
And mama, so much perfume I thought I drank
And the lord didn't seem to be nowhere around
Hey, I felt just like a flower from the vine
(Repeat Chorus)
How I'd like to be home mom
Where the blue grass is growin'
And the light shimmers and it shines
She was sitting cross legged on a hood of a Ford
Filing down her nails with an Emory board
Talking to her friends about people they knew
And all of the things that young girls do
When she said, "You see that guy in the baseball cap?
I'd like to spend some time with a boy like that"
Betty said, "I've seen him at the hardware store
I think his name is Billy, but I'm not sure"
And as they talked a little while he passed by
She smiled at him he just said "Hi"
He was thinking to himself as he walked away
Man, I'd like to find a girl like her someday
Young love, strong love, true love
It's a new love
They're gonna make it through the hard times
And walk those lines
Yeah, these ties will bind
Young love
Well, she just couldn't stop herself from thinking 'bout him
And at a store downtown she saw him again
She had both hands full, he held open the door
He said, "My name is Billy, I've seen you before"
"Can I help you with these? Can I give you a ride?
Can I take you out on a Saturday night?"
She didn't have to say what she was feeling inside
He could see the answer shining in her eyes
Young love, strong love, true love
It's a new love
They're gonna make it through the hard times
And walk those lines
Yeah, these ties will bind
Young love
Well, from that day on you couldn't keep them apart
They were side by side and heart to heart
Mama cried as Billy slipped the ring on her hand
And when the baby was born she was crying again
Well, he worked real hard and put some money down
On a little old house at the edge of town
And that night as he held her he couldn't believe
That God had made a girl that he'd never ever leave
Young love, strong love, true love
It's a new love
They're gonna make it through the hard times
And walk those lines
Yeah, these ties will bind
Young love
She was sitting cross legged on the hood of a Ford
Had a dream about you baby
Had a dream about me and you
had a dream and I woke up cryin'
Well, I can try but I just can't stop
And the time is graggin' by tick-tockv Oh my heart, it just can't love no one but you
Well, I'm high and dry and lonely
I'm as lonesome as can be
And I stare out of my window
We'll, I can play but I just can't win
And the weather's lookin' mighty grim
Oh my heart, it just can't love no one but you
(Chorus)
Oh my heart, (can't love no one but you)
My heart , (can't love no one but you)
Oh my heart, it just can't love no one but you Oh my heart (can't love no one but you) My
heart,
(can't love no one but you)
Oh my heart, it just can't love no one but you
Had a dream about you baby
Had a dream about me and you
had a dream and I woke up cryin'
Well, I can try but I just can't stop
And the time is draggin' by tick-tock
Oh my heart, it just can't love no one but you
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you want to come too
I got my reservations
And I got one for you
The trains leavin' just after dark
There's always room for a lovin' heart
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too
I know my destination
It's all waiting for you
I got no hesitation
That's where I want to be
And by the time that the sun comes up
I'll be drinkin' from a lovin' cup
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you want to come too
(Chorus)
Don't you wanna come
Don't you wanna ride
Don't you wanna be there by my side
Hand in hand
Holding on to
The sweet salvation
That's waiting for me and you
I know why I'm singin'
Don't you want to sing too
Can't you hear the bells a ringin'
Let the spirit move you
Just close your eyes
And let it flow
Lean your head back, let it go
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too
(Repeat Chorus)
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too
I got my reservations
And I got one for you
I know why I'm singin'
Don't you want to sing too
Can't you hear the bells a ringin'
Let the spirit move you
Spirit move you, yeah
I know where I'm going'
Don't you wanna come too
I know where I'm goin'
