If I was yours and you were mine I'd spank your bottom every time
You drink too much and smoke too much or talk too much look who's talking
Sometimes I think how it would be if I loved you and you loved me
What we'd do differently than what we're doing now but I'm just talking
Cause you're not Charlie Brown and I'm not Raggedy Ann
And this ain't a little cigar band I'm wearing on my hand
We're not playing spin the battle in a world of make believe
Like the heros in a storybook that we can't wait to read
But I wonder if there's be any harm for you to hold me in your arms
And steal a kiss or two then I could forget about you
Listen to me talking no I'm not yours and you're not mine
And kissing on you'd be out of line
And the kind of hearts we have are the kind that break in two
Over people like me and you
Cause you're not Charlie Brown...

This past year was good to us the one before just a little rough
The one before that was an awful thing what will the new year bring
Will it bring us a little boy to fill our lives with love and joy
We've had our share of growing pains what will the new year bring
You're still one and one makes two now one and one make one
I hope you will love me throughout the year to come
We've made our mistakes with love we learned that it can't promise us
Tomorrow and forever things what will the new year bring
Wish I hadn't read our horoscope things look stormy for Scorpios
Virgo's posed to sprout their wings what will the new year bring
Will you want me to love you the way you know I do
And will you walk through life with me another year or two
Or three or four or five or six hundred years or more

I take out my guitar and strum all my dreams
It's somewhere around here I know
Don't let me chase rainbows that don't would have an end
There must be a song I can sing
Where is the melody and where are the words where is the rhythm of the drum
And where are the voices that can make my heart bring
I know there's a song I can sing
And if I keep trying find a secret to wake me from my dream
That sleeps on the footsteps of my soul
Some day I'll hear the music that can bring my voice swings
Cause I know there's a song I can sing
Yes some day I'll hear the melody and I'll find the words
And I'll feel the rhythm of the drum
And I'll listen to the voices that can make my heart bring
Yes somewhere there's a song I can sing

It's getting dark again kinda like it was before
And I'm lost again somewhere out here on the road
Where's the gold that I saw glitter and change my night to day
Don't tell me nothing is forever and nothing can stay
I've felt the sun and I know the rain
And I should know that people like the seasons will change
But don't tell me that everything in life will be that way
Don't tell me nothing is forever and nothing can stay
I guess darkness has to come whenever the sun goes down
And death must follow birth and the cycle of life goes round
But what of all this love I've found is it wrong to try
To hold on to it with all I've got and want to know why
Why can't something be for real and not change with time
And why can't the heart feel the same was as the mind
I didn't know it long enough don't let it go away
Don't tell me nothing is forever and nothing can stay
Oh don't let love and happiness turn out that way

When I saw you standing there I bout fell out of my chair
And when you moved your mouth to speak I felt the blood go to my feet
Now it took time for me to know what you tried so not to show
Something in my soul just cries I see the want in your blue eyes
Baby I'd love you to want me the way that I want you the way that it should be
Baby you'd love me to want you the way that I want to if you'd only let it be
[ guitar ]
You told yourself years ago you'd never let your feelings show
The obligation that you made for the title that they gave
Baby I'd love you to want me...

I didn't mean to run him away
I didn't mean Lord knows it breaks his heart not for anything
I didn't mean to mess up our lives and I still can't believe I ran him away
If you see this boy I left crying if you see this boy I left trying
To get over one of the dumbest things I've ever done
Tell him I didn't mean to hurt him like he said only I could
Tell him that I still love him so
If you see this boy lookin' lonely like he's lost his one and only
The one I looked for so long then like a fool let him go
Tell him that I'm sorry and if he'll only come on back to me
Tell him I wouldn't ever hurt him again
And I didn't mean to run him away
I didn't mean Lord knows to break his heart not for anything
I didn't mean to mess up our lives and I still can't believe I ran him away
The best part of me I ran him away
If you see this boy tell him I love him if you see this boy tell him I need him
And if he cares at all to come on back and save my life
Tell him it would be such a shame to let our love go down the drain
And that everyone you know makes mistakes
And I didn't mean to run him away...

Funny face, I love you, funny face, I need you
My whole world's wrapped up in you
When the road I walk seems all up hill
And the colors in my rainbow turn blue
You kiss the tears away, you smile at me and say
Funny face, I love you
Funny face, I love you, funny face, I need you
These are the sweetest words I've ever heard
Funny face, don't leave me, funny face, believe me
My whole world's wrapped up in you
And when I hurt your feelings as I sometimes do
And I say those mean things that we know are not true
You forgive my childish ways, you hold me close and say
Funny face, I love you
Funny face, I love you, funny face, I need you
These are the sweetest words I've ever heard
Funny face, don't leave me, funny face, believe me
My whole world's wrapped up in you
Funny face, I love you, funny face, I need you
These are the sweetest words I've ever heard
Funny face, don't leave me, funny face, believe me

Don't be angry with me, you darling
If I fail to understand
All your little whims and wishes all the time
Just remember, I'm kind of dumb
I guess like any foolish girl
And my head stays sorta foggy 'cause you're mine
Now I recall the first time
That you flirted with me, dear
And you jokingly said, "Come and be my bride"
But now the time has turned the pages
Why, it's the sweetest joke on earth
But I have you here forever by my side
And maybe someday you're gonna hurt me
Well, I've been hurt in love before
Only God can know and time alone will tell
But in the mean time, well, I'll be loving you
With all my heart and soul
And pray God to let it last if it's his will
So don't be angry with me, you darling
If I fail to understand
All your little whims and wishes all the time
Just remember, I'm kind of dumb
I guess like any foolish girl
And my head stays sorta foggy 'cause you're mine

Let me tell you all I know about a feeling everybody oughta know about a feeling
You can't live with it you can't live without it feeling
You can't buy it you can't beg it you can't borrow it or steal it
Let me tell you all about a feeling called love
Oh now it can make you feel like you've never felt before
It can make you walk the line and it can make you walk the floor
It ain't no better for the rich man than it is for the poor
So get a little feel for a feeling called love
I'm talkin' you all I know about a feeling...
[ guitar ]
It's what's missin' if you're lonely that you keep on searching for
And it's everything you've never been but what could make you so much more
So if you're not afraid to find out what you're made of
So get a little feel for a feeling called love

Clap your hands sing along join together in this love song
Open up your heart and mind and sing sing sing
It ain't too complicated it won't hurt you one bit
In fact it'll make you feel a whole lot better if you let it
Let the good life take over you don't worry about a thing
Just open up your heart and mind and sing sing sing
Clap your hands sing along join together in this love song
Lift your voices to the sky thank God you're alive
And set your spirit free brother sing sing sing
I used to take my grandma to an old tent-meeting church
Where they weren't afraid to tell you that you must be born again
Shouting glory hallelujah praise the Lord I am saved
Let's all join together and let's sing sing sing
Clap your hands sing along...
Clap your hands sing along...
Clap your hands sing along...

Shine on me sunshine
Walk with me world, it's a skippidy doo da day
I'm the happiest girl in the whole U.S.A.
Good morning, mornin', hello sunshine
Wake up, sleepy head
Why'd you move that bojangle clock
So far away from the bed?
Just one more minute that's why we moved it
One more hug or two
Do you love wakin' up next to me
As much as I love wakin' up next to you?
You make the coffee, I'll make the bed
I'll fix your lunch, and you'll fix mine!
Now tell me the truth do these old shoes look funny?
Honey, it's almost nine
Now you be careful, got to go
"I love you, have a beautiful day!"
And kiss the happiest girl in the whole U.S.A.
Skippidy doo da thank you Lord for makin' him for me
And thank you for letting life turn out the way
That I always thought it could be
There once was a time, that I could not imagine
How it would feel to say
I'm the happiest girl in the whole U.S.A.
Now shine on me sunshine
Walk with me world, it's a skippidy doo da day
I'm the happiest girl in the whole U.S.A.
Shine on me sunshine
Walk with me world, it's a skippidy doo da day
I'm the happiest girl in the whole U.S.A.
Shine on me sunshine
Walk with me world, it's a skippidy doo da day

His trials now are over no more crosses to bear
No more excuses bout the way he wears his hair
They try to tell me he's free now and his mem'ry will live on
Well if dying sets you free he's free but to me he's just gone
Cause he is no Jesus he will not rise again
Three days after we lay him down cause life's all over for him
There'll be no more tomorrows no happiness and sorrows no hellos or goodbyes
Cause he is no Jesus just a friend of mine
We didn't always understand each other but at least we always tried
We just heard different drummers and sometimes the drummer lied
We were gonna be friends forever but forever is not a very long time
Cause he is no Jesus just a friend of mine
Cause he is no Jesus...
No mother's love no best friend's cry can wake him up to say goodbye

I'm kickin' my heel together free again I feel like me again
I know without a doubt I'm in love love love
And I don't have to make believe or feed a guilty conscience
Love set me free and it do feel good
I just went through this painful thing of questions without answers
Kept comin' back with nothin' for the longest time
My heart kept racing with my conscience and claiming all my daydreames
Wait out in front of my mind
And that awful gnawing feeling like you're gonna die from hunger
You don't find out where you're going and how to get there
But now it's worth all that confusion cause I found me an answer
And I know love is alive again within me
I'm kickin' my heel together...
I've finally figured out how yesterdays fit into tomorrows
And I've learned that little doubts are just unfinished dreams
And I guess I'll keep on learning the same lessens all over
And nothing is as bad as it seems
And I've just got to accept the fact that I have to accept the fact
That love goes through changes just like we do
And an occasional distraction a little quiet a little action
And a whole lot of patience will make it grow
I'm kickin' my heel together...
I'm kickin' my heel together...

You just kissed me good morning so I know you're standing there
But can you hear the sounds before goodbye and nobody cares
Maybe I'm wrong but I have the strangest feeling you're gone
What was that you said to me my mind was out to play
With some mem'ries I saved up especially for this kind of day
Guess I'm wrong but I have the strangest feeling you're gone
There's no need to hide it we're just putting off the pain
And goodbye ain't so bad it's just a different kind of rain
Like lonely dewdrops on a daisy when the evening sun goes down
Or like hearing footsteps echo in an empty neon town
Go on and get it over with if can't hurt me anymore
Than these transparent blindfolds that love put on before
Wish I was wrong but I have the strangest feeling you're gone
Go on and built a better world I'll do what I can with mine
Maybe someday we can love again at some other place or time
Goodbye darling I have the strangest feeling you're gone
Goodbye darling I have the strangest feeling you're gone

I think I'll lay down on the banks of the corners of my mind
Send my mem'ries and dreams for a walk
While I listen to the sunset as it hides behind the mountain
Give the clouds in the sky a chance to talk
And make friends with a world that I daydream and love in
And shake hands with the freedom at my feet
Yes I will lay me down and let me breathe the ripples of the water
Flowing from a little mountain creek
And tell the world what I think of it and holler out I love you
And chase a little butterfly with some little boy or girl
A running barefoot on the concrete of this beautiful creation
Hot diggety dog hot diggety world hot diggety dog hot diggety world
[ guitar + steel ]
I'll pick the petals of a daisy that says everybody loves me
And no one can do me wrong along the way
And I'll stretch out my arms say I'm glad that I was born
And make everyday a day like today
Yes I'll make music with the birds and the bees in the forest
And consider every raindrop a pearl
And just for a while I'll set me free of myself and love this ole hot diggety world
Hot diggety dog hot diggety world hot diggety dog hot diggety world

Hello little bluebird I know how you feel
One time I thought I'd never learn too
But someone came along and helped me like I'm helping you
And if I can fly I'll bet you can too
I don't know what misfortune kept you down this time
But there's usually a reason for it all
You'll run into things that hurt you all the time
And the higher up the harder that you fall
First thing you have to do is be sure you wanna fly
Cause no one in the world can do it for you
Then practice what you learn by doin' all that you can do
Cause if I can fly I'll bet you can too
I don't know what misfortune...
So go spread your little bluebird wings and fly away
May the melodies of love always be with you
And someday you'll help someone remember what I'm telling you
If I can fly I'll bet you can too
La la da da la la la la if I can fly I'll bet you can too
(La la da da la la la la) if I can fly I'll bet you can too
(La la da da la la la la) if I can fly I'll bet you can too

Too sweet to be forgotten what could have been could be
Too right to be too wrong for me and too real to be only a sweet memory
The moon is just another candle to read my feelings by
Reflecting on leftover yesterdays my how time does fly
You're welcome in all of my daydreams so nice to have on my mind
Why should I try to forget you you're almost all that I left behind
Too sweet to be forgotten...
So until you find another playground you're welcome to play on my mind
Why should I try to forget you you're almost all that I left behind

I'll try a little bit harder if you will
And if you think we're worth trying to save
We were happy once I know we were where where did we go wrong
We were on the same side one time weren't we
Why would we how could we we could not pretend for so long
But I don't want to prolong this mis'ry if you're leavin'
And I don't think I'd beg you to stay
But I'll try a little bit harder if you will and if you think we're worth trying to save
We can make it work if we care enough somehow somewhere someway
Cause surely what we had is worth whatever it takes to keep it
So let's don't let it let's protect it and not let something precious get away
But I don't want to prolong...
But I'll try a little bit harder if you will and if you think we're worth trying to save

Can't remember my first mem'ry of you you were always there
And now I know I never knew you well
But I was just a kid and you were always there to pick me up everytime I fell
And you always warmed a blanket to wrap around my feet
When you tucked me into bed to say my prayers
And I'll bet I never thanked you among all the other things
That I took for granted cause you were always there
Yes you were always there so we never took the time
For you to tell me your dreams and me to tell you mine
And we never took the time to talk of love and happiness
And life and death and heartache and pain and loneliness
Why I don't even know if you were happy or if you could have been
Or if you could have one wish what would it be
Or what would you do differently if you could live again
And were you glad that you gave life to me
And I'd give anything to tell you am I glad that you were born
But you'll never hear the words I've learned to say
Cause before I got to know you died of loneliness
And they tell me I grew up and moved away
Yes you were always there so we never took the time
For you to tell me your dreams and me to tell you mine
There were so many things that could have been but now we'll never share
Cause kids don't know much and you were always there

I'm hip on happiness high on love
Hooked on a feeling I can't get enough of
It's a sweet I love you note in the pocket of my jeans
Some bubble gum you left for my surprise
It's knowing I can wake you up just to tell you I can't sleep
And the look of love that sparkles in your eyes
I'm hip on happiness high on love
Hooked on a feeling that I try to be worthy of
A giving and a getting back over and above
When your cup of kindness runs over with love
It's a friend ney believing a lie somebody told
A little fella asking God to bless me too
It's a gentle little lady who told me I touched her life
A withered hand thanking me for what I do
I'm hip on happiness...
So if you can't find somebody to sing your love song to
And if you don't like the way you're going home
Change the color of your morning by the way you look at life
It's too late to start all over when it's gone
Get hip on happiness high on love
Hooked on a feeling that you try to be worthy of
Start giving and getting back over and above

(One two one two three four)
You don't tug on Superman's cape you don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with Jim
Well uptown got its hustlers the Bowery got its bums
And forty second street got big Jim Walker he's a pool shootin' son of a gun
Yeah he's big and dumb as a man can come
But he's stronger than a country hoss
And when the bad folks all get together at night
You know they all call big Jim boss just because
And they say you don't tug on Superman's cape you don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with Jim
Well outta south Alabama come a country boy
He said I'm lookin' for a man named Jim
Well I'm a pool shootin' boy my name is Willie McCoy
But down home they call me Slim
Yeah I'm looking for the king of Forty Second Street he drivin' a drop top Cadillac
Last week he took all my money and it may sound funny
But I come to get my money back
And everybody say Jack don't you know you don't on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with Jim
Well a hush fell over the pool room Jimmy come boppin' in off of the street
And when the cuttin' were done the only part that wasn't bloody
Was the soles of the big man's feet
Yeah he were cut in bout a hundred places and he were shot in a couple more
And you better believe they sung a different kind of story when big Jim hit the floor
Now they say you don't tug on Superman's cape you don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with Slim
No no no you don't tug on Superman's cape...

I wouldn't love me if I were you
When I treat you the way I just did but I didn't mean to
I'm ashamed to ask you anymore to forgive me
But I'm sorry and it may sound like to you
I'm makin' excuses for what I do
But while I'm changing just love me and remember
That whatever I say means I love you
Whatever foolish thing I do means I care for you
When you sort it all out you're what I'm all about
If you can love me long enough I'll learn to show you
You say it sounds like to you when I ask you where were you
That I don't trust you but I just worry and I miss you
And I need missing sometimes too
And when the fighting and the crying lead to saying that we're through
Recall the words that I inscribed on my heart for you
Whatever I say means I love you...
Whatever I say means I love you...
That whatever I say means I love you

Sing a la la de de and a la la de do
I just made up this rotten little song for me and you
Today I wrote a rotten melody and the words are just as bad as you can see
But if you want to sing along with this rotten little song
You're as welcome as the flowers in the spring
Just sing a la la for you and a de de for me
And you put 'em both together get a la la de
Sing a la la de de and add a little do
And we'll both sing this rotten little song for me and you
All in all it has been a rotten day and I wouldn't have it any other way
And I won't try to analyze all the if's and but's and why's
Cause I know that it will soon go away
Just sing a la la for you...
Sing a la la for you...
Sing a la la for you...

Puffy eyes aching head echoes of the words I said
Keep following me around from room to room
Though I've climbed these stairs before and knocked on this same door
How much longer will you let me in
I didn't mean all the things I said but a heart full of regrets
And all the tears these puffy eyes can cry for you
Will do everything we know to do to try to make it up to you
If you'll just forgive us once again
I would get what was comin' to me if you ever left me honey
You'd better be off without me no doubt about it
But I hope you'll stay and love me
And try to understand my crazy way of lovin' you
[ steel ]
Can't you tell these puffy eyes love you
I think that devil must've had a hand in makin' me like I am
But I hope I'm worth the time it takes to change
Cause as mean to you as I seem to be there's a love as deep as love can be
If I could only make you understand
I would get what was comin' to me...

It just took a little while for me to get my head together
Growing up's the hardest thing I've ever done
Here I am like a stranger in the house I grew up in
And learned right from wrong in if I did
Where the sun never shined enough on daddies growing older
And mothers never died in but she did
And I remember feeling guilty cause I couldn't wait to leave here
Though I loved 'em every way that I knew how
So I packed up all my yesterdays and headed for tomorrow
And it's almost tomorrow now
And daddy's little girl is home but where's the little girl gone
She bundled up her dirty jeans and teenie bopper magazine
In search of what her life was all about
With a little rag doll named Charlie Brown
And an ole suitcase full of hand me downs
And a loneliness she knew so much about
Now the dreams that I trusted and all the playthings have rusted
But here I am a woman somehow
And all those growing pains of yesterdays are gonna get me through tomorrow
Cause it's almost tomorrow now
And daddy's little girl is home but where's the little girl gone
She bundled up her dirty jeans...
Oh but I can still remember when I used to gaze out this window
Wondering who I was and what I would become
And it just took a little while for me to get my head together
Growing up's the hardest thing I've ever done

It's almost twelve o'clock but what's one more night
Among so many nights I sit here all alone
Though I must admit by now I'm used to it
And I'm not surprised that you're not home
Since you've grown tired of me I guess eventually
I'll get tired too of waiting some night
But until I do would it be too much to ask of you
To just call me and tell me you're all right
It would only take a dime and the time it takes to call
And all I wanna know is that you're all right that's all that's all
I know that it's too late we're gonna separate
I'd be a fool to think we could go on
And I know by now how I've failed you as a wife somehow
And some of my feelings for this shell of a home are gone
Yes it's too late for me and you there's not much left for us to do
But I still worry about you every night
So until we're really through is it too much to ask of you
To just call me and tell me you're all right
I'd do that much for you if you ever asked me to

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee
tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of
wondering love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim thy holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on
earth.
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee

Sticks and stones can break my bones
but words can break my heart,
so if you carried on for me,
think twice before you start.
To say something that you don't mean
might drift us apart.
Well, sticks and stones can break my bones
but words can break my heart.
I've seen so many times before
where lovers played a game.
A-foolish words they didn't mean
but they hurt all the same.
So many times they realized,
too many times too late,
that only fools play such a game
and make such a mistake.
Oh, sticks and stones can break my bones
but words can break my heart,
so if you ever have to leave,
speak quickly* as you are.
And when you go, just one last smile
and one last kind remark.
Well, sticks and stones can break my bones
but words can break my heart.
Yes, I've seen so many times before
where lovers played a game.
A-foolish words they didn't mean
but they hurt all the same.
So many times they realized,
too many times too late,
that only fools play such a game
and make such a mistake.
Oh sticks and stones can break my bones
but words can break my heart,
so if you ever have to leave,
speak quickly* as you are.
And when you go, just one last smile
and one last kind remark.
Well, sticks and stones can break my bones
but words can break my heart.
Sticks and stones can break my bones

His trials now are over no more crosses to bear
No more excuses bout the way he wears his hair
They try to tell me he's free now and his mem'ry will live on
Well if dying sets you free he's free but to me he's just gone
Cause he is no Jesus he will not rise again
Three days after we lay him down cause life's all over for him
There'll be no more tomorrows no happiness and sorrows no hellos or goodbyes
Cause he is no Jesus just a friend of mine
We didn't always understand each other but at least we always tried
We just heard different drummers and sometimes the drummer lied
We were gonna be friends forever but forever is not a very long time
Cause he is no Jesus just a friend of mine
Cause he is no Jesus...
No mother's love no best friend's cry can wake him up to say goodbye

I worked in the fields this morning
I traveled your highways today
Used a creek and a rainbow for a roadmap
And a tree for a chapel to pray
And I'm so proud to sing your praises
And to live in the land of the free
I'm just one of your children who loves you
You're home, sweet home to me
United States of America
Where I can be whatever I can be
Free to think as I choose
Right or wrong, win or lose
Where my only limitation is me
United States of America
I believe in the red, white and blue
And I thank you for
All you've done for me
And I'll do my best for you
United States of America
Hallelujah, we love you
And as a citizen of my country
I believe it is my duty to obey your laws
To try to be a worthy individual
A positive example and a
Productive and responsible citizen
To be informed and concerned
About our nation's affairs and to
Voice my beliefs constructively
To practice diligently
An attitude of brotherly love
And hold no hatred against anyone
And when one of
My brothers makes a mistake
Be he peasant or a President
I will try to treat him
As I would want to be treated
With compassion and understanding
And I will continue to be proud
To pay taxes for the opportunity to live
In the greatest nation in the world
A nation born out of faith in God
And sustained only if that faith
And the support of the American people
Remain strong
United States of America
Hallelujah, we love you
United States of America

Well I'm finally gonna write you that letter
That was owed you for a long long time
I can't say much for me
But I do hope that ya'll are doing fine
Well how is Burry and Virginia
Are they still living down on the farm
You know sometimes I get so lonesome daddy
I wish I'd never left home
Are you working hard these days
Are you doing all the things
the doctor said you oughta do
Did you sell all your tobacco
Did the crops bring in what you thought they would
Well I might as well get to the point
Last night I tried to call you on the phone
What I'm getting at
I guess is if I had the money daddy I'd come home
'Cause every night
I hear an old southbound train whistle a-blowing
And daddy it's calling me home
I've been to New York Chicago
Wheeling West Virginia and Nashville Tennessee
And singers are as thick as fleas on a dog's back
By the way how's old Lee
And I done changed my name so many times
I don't even know who I am
And daddy I sure miss them pinto beans
And corn bread and country ham
Now I know I should've listened when you said
I didn't have no business coming way out west
That a girl belongs at home on the farm
Where she was born raising younguns like all the rest
Well I know it now that's why I'm writing
And why I tried to call you on the phone
What I'm really trying to say
Is if you'll send me the money I'll come home
'Cause every night
I hear an old southbound train whistle a-blowing

When I think how close you came to being gone
A friend of mine is going through
The same thing I did with you
She's lost her man and must go on alone
And she don't know if he'll come back again
And I tremble 'cause I know how she feels
When I think how close you came to being gone
And I tell her that I turn my face to Jesus
And said, let thou will be done
But if you know any way of keeping him
Lord, please show me one
It scares me half to death to think
Of living life alone
When I think how close you came to being gone
The reasons were just about the same
Day after day she nagged and complained
And she knows that she chased him away from home
And now she begs him just like I begged you
And she cries and asks me what can she do
And I think how close you came to being gone
And I tell her that I turn my face to Jesus
And said, let thou will be done
But if you know any way of keeping him
Lord, please show me one
It scares me half to death to think
Of living life alone
When I think how close you came to being gone

Society's got us by the you-know-what we've been livin' way too high
We got champagne taste and a beer pocketbook and it's all we can do to get by
I keep sayin' I'll never bring it up again but I just can't keep still
Who ever heard of people poor as us drive a Cadillac Coupe DeVille
We wear fancy clothes that we can't anyway afford than anything else we do
There outta be a law against living this way when we need little things like food
And I'm gonna have to spend my birthday money to pay the telephone bill
That's what I get for feeling the kind of hopes I can't afford to fill
'Cause society's got us by the you-know-what we're been livin' way too high
We got champagne taste and a beer pocketbook and it's all we can do to get by
And we can't afford this kind of rent but I know you wouldn't move
And who am I kiddin' I wouldn't either
This is what you call in a groove
Oh, it's our little way of feelin' big when you can't be big for real
And we do deserve these material things we just can't pay the bills
We're afflicted with a love and high class dreams
And we can't afford to dream
But knowin' all that and doin' somethin' 'bout it are two different things
'Cause society's got us by the you-know-what we're been livin' way too high
We got champagne taste and a beer pocketbook and it's all we can do to get by
Yes, society's got us by the you-know-what we're been livin' way too high
We got champagne taste and a beer pocketbook and it's all we can do to get by
Yes, society's got us by the you-know-what we're been livin' way too high

You're my somebody special
And you know just because of you
Sometimes, I even feel like
I'm somebody special too
Used to not know where to put you
Where you fit into my life
You were just another question mark
In a miscellaneous file
But you eased your way into my world
And conquered space and time
And now your'e always in my heart
And on my mind
You're my somebody special
God blessed me good with you
Your'e the reason I keep trying
When I give up like I do
You're the one that makes me happy
And you know, just because of you
Sometimes I even feel like I'm
Somebody special too
Took me long enough to realize
That what I had in you
Was all that I was looking for
To make my dreams come true
And now your every song
That I can't get out of my mind
Since you taught me the melody
You can sing me anytime
Your'e my somebody special
God blessed me good with you
You're the reason I keep trying
When I give up like I do
You're the one that makes me happy
And you know, just because of you
Sometimes I even feel like I'm
Somebody special too
So when you tell me that you're lonely
Log on to kill this message.
And you think that I don't care
I may not know how to show you
But I promise to be there
For as long as you can love me
And want me to love you
You'll be the reason for everything I do
You're my somebody special
God blessed me good with you
You're the reason I keep trying
When I give up like I do
You're the one that makes me happy
And you know, just because of you

just enough to feel myself
hold stronger
fear another mistake
i stared at your face
and the pain was a waste
and i know that the feeling could take me
chorus
but i just cant go through
another goodbye
i could love you so easy
but im scared to try
there's no sense in beginning
if we're gonna end
and i cant make it through
another goodbye again
now i
you love me
just when i felt so secure
it can all fade so fast
just the hurt seems to pass
now i need something
i can be sure of
chorus
so whisper
the sound of forever
make me believe
what i hear
i know we've got magic
together
but i need to know
it wont all dissapear

(Chuck Berry)
Way down in Lousiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods neath the evergreens
Stood an old cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B Goode.
He never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like a ringin' a bell
Go, go, go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go, go little Johnny go, I said go Johnny B Goode.
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
The engineer catch him sittin' in the shade
Strummin' through the rhythm that the drivers made.
The people goin' by they'd stop and wave
Oh, that little country boy could play
Go, go, go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go, go little Johnny go, I said go Johnny B Goode.
Now his mama told him someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big ole band
The people gonna come from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down.
Maybe someday your name will be at lights
Johnny B Goode tonight
Go, go, go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go, go little Johnny go, I said go Johnny B Goode.
Go, go, go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go, go little Johnny go, I said go Johnny B Goode.
Go, go, go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go, go

Like the ripples from a pebble
When cast into the water
There's not a life that has not been touched
By the troubled times of the '80's
He was greyer than I'd remembered
For once I just listened
It wasn't like him to talk defeat
But he was down
He'd worked hard all his life
For his all American wife
And his all American children
In a small American town
He said he was about to lose his house
And he'd already lost his job
And if things kept on gettin' worse
He didn't know how much longer they could hold on.
Said he owed everybody and his brother
And naturally they took it out on one another
He said, you know you'd be surprised
How being out of work can chip away at a marriage
And the foundation of a home
It's the story of the eighty's
The sign of the times
Has a nightmare replaced the American dream
Where so often is heard
A discouraging word
Are the clouds as dark as they seem
He said, you know, I'm not lazy
I mean it's not that I haven't tried."
Then he put his head in his hands
And the grown man almost cried
He said, I guess I'm kinda' like a kid on his first date
I don't know what to do with my hands
You know I've always been busy, made a livin' for my family
Now I can't get a job, and I'm a workin' man
He said my wife used to think I could move a mountain
Now I think she'd be happy if I'd just move out
And the kids, well they're growin' so fast
And they all need clothes, now they have to do without
It makes you feel small, you know
Takes away your self respect
Breaks your heart
And hurts your pride
It makes it hard to be a decent husband and daddy
And it eats you up inside
Is it the story of the eighty's
The sign of the times
Has a nightmare replaced the American dream
Where so often is heard
A discouraging word
Are the clouds as dark as they seem
But what bothered me was
He was half of America
Not just one man tryin' to deal with all the change
Out of work, out of hope, out of luck
And most of all, out of dreams
He's the farmer
The trucker
The teacher
The steelworker
The Protestant
The Catholic
and the Jew
He's the hero of America
He's me
And he's you
Is it the story of the eighty's
The sign of the times
Has a nightmare replaced the American dream
Where so often is heard
A discouraging word

(Donna Fargo)
I couldn't sleep at all last night for dreaming of you
Oh, it's all right he's got someone that he dreams of too
And since I've known this feeling I don't mind if he's untrue
He can have all he wants of her if I can dream of you.
I wish I'd never heard someone say
One time dream, dreams that are good for you
And be sure you want what you're dreaming of
'cause sometime dreams come true
So he'll find out if he loves her
And I'll keep dreaming of you.
But all the time I wonder who's the smarter of the two
And I remain the coward cause cowards never lose
And he can have all he wants of her if I can dream of you

You know, I've always believed
That when you feel somethin'
Especially somethin' good for someone
You shouldn't keep it from them
You should let him know
But I also believe that
If you think it's love
There's really no need to bring it up
If you know there's no chance for it to grow
But it seems like
I'm always coming up with contradictions
Because now I find that
What I believe and what I feel
Are two very different things
And those feelings I've kept all to myself
Are gonna come out now
Even though they've changed
So you see
I guess I was right in one way
That I never told you this
And I don't really know why I'm telling you now
But I'd just kinda like you to know that
There couldn't be a you and me
I might've changed my life for you
And you might've changed for me
If there weren't so many ifs and buts
And if you had wanted it to be
But because of the way I am
And the way you are
We never took the chance, did we?
Call it respect, because we're not free
Call it fear of rejection because of our pride
Or call it just plain old common sense
That it would be just too risky
And too sticky a situation
Because we wouldn't know exactly where we were going
And we'd be afraid to take the ride
Call it whatever, but I wanted you to know that
I like you very much
And you're the kind of person I could love
You're honest, sincere, compassionate, not afraid
To be too gentle and not afraid to be too strong and
You got that certain kind of something
People are always looking for and rarely find and
Never seem to get enough of and somehow
It doesnt seem wrong to tell you that
No, we never kissed and never touched each other
But our hearts have and our souls have and
If we gaved them half the chance
Look out, for I'll bet they could start a fire
That nobody in the whole world could put out
But that was yesterday, wasn't it?
And things are so different now
See I was right not to ever tell you
Because I guess I always knew
It would of never really had a chance to grow
And though I'll use my better judgement again
And never mail this letter

CHORUS
Shame on me, for hurting you
What can I say? what can I do
Last night I was blind but today I see
I did you wrong, shame on me
You say you won't be seeing me again, you say we're
through
But honey, I wouldn't want to see the sunrise tomorrow
If I knew that to be true.
I know that just saying I'm sorry doesn't sound like a
But the man you saw me with last night means no more to
Than a thousand stars to the great clouds that cover
the night
The more I look at him the more I realised how much I
love you.
So please don't say we're through
(chorus)
I'll admit I shouldn't have given in to love's wild
temptations
For someone I cared nothing for; I was blind and I hurt
Can you ever forgive a fool? A fool who really loves
Last night I was blind but today I see
I did you wrong, shame on me

When the sun in the mornin' peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses 'round my window sill
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
Of those birds in the tree tops on mockin' bird hill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee
There's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers on the mockin' bird hill
[Instrumental Interlude]
When it's late in the evenin' I climb up the hill
And survey all my kingdom while everything's still
Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill
Singing songs in the twilight on mockin'bird hill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee
There's peace and goodwill

Manhattan, Kansas
Manhattan, Kansas ain't no place to have a baby
When you got no man to give it his last name
And my folks back in Manhattan didn't want me or my bundle
So I took my child and caught an evening train.
And I found a job in Denver washing dishes in a diner
At least it buys my baby milk to drink
He once told me I was pretty but the only ring it got me
Was the ring of grease that runs around the sink
(Chorus)
Yes, I lay beside him gentle
‘Cause he told me that he loved me
And he made me dance before the music played
But at least I didn't beg him
I'd rather wash his dishes
‘Cause it makes me feel as if my hands are clean
At night I stand here thinkin'
‘Bout the man back home in Kansas
And how his folks just turned away the shame
And I stare down through the soapsuds
And reached down and pull the drain plug
And I watch as Manhattan drains away
(Repeat chorus)

Beyond the shadow of a doubt
as the mighty river flows
as the meadow gently plays
with the wind on summer days
About as deep as deep can go
from the canyons to the sky
like a mother as she cares
for the baby that she bares.
Do I love you?
Don't you know by now?
Do I love you?
Must I show you how?
Do I love you?
Do I have to say?
Do I love you?
Yes in everyway.
About as sacred as a hymn
and a bible full of prayers
from a whisper to a roar
very much and even more
Let me show with my eyes
and I'll share it with the night
and if in death the Lord is kind
You'll be the last thing on my mind
Do I love you?
Don't you know by now?
Do I love you?
Must I show you how?
Do I love you?
Do I have to say?
Do I love you?

(Chorus)
You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine
You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine
There's a little light in all of us by God's design
But you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine
How can you ask for the truth
When you do not truthful live
How can you ask forgiveness
When you don't forgive
I don't mean to bring you down or speak to you unkind
But you can't be a beacon if your light donât shine
(Repeat chorus)
How can you ask a child to be honest and true?
When he can only judge what's right by what he sees in
How can you offer vision, yet walk around blind
No you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine
