I just love how long we've known each other
And I know you care about me But I can't tell just where your life is going You've been quite a mystery You've got all of these brand new friends They keep taking your confidence But I'm keeping my faith in you Deep in my heart of hearts You've been worried, puzzled, surrounded by your trouble But I'm keeping my faith in you We all cried when your first bow was taken No one could be prouder of you But I care more about your heart if it's aching If I'm your friend, what else can I do? But those people who hang around They keep bringing your spirit down But I'm keeping my faith in you, yeah Deep in my heart of hearts If anyone can do it I know you'll get through it So I'm keeping my faith in you I've known you ever since way back when And I know you, you don't want to change, my friend But you're under pressure, like no one could imagine It's not a good time that you've been having But you're a real strong brother, and I know you'll recover So I'm keeping my faith in you Keeping my faith in you Deep in my heart of hearts If anyone can do it I know you'll get through it So I'm keeping my faith in you Keeping my faith in you Deep in my heart of hearts Keeping my faith in you Deep in my heart of hearts You've been worried, puzzled Surrounded by big trouble But I'm keeping my faith in you Keeping my faith in you My faith in you Keeping my faith in you My faith in you Keeping my faith in you My faith in you |

Another sad day, another lonely day
For all we know some people only cry They have no good times, no poetry rhymes They don't know how or when or if or why Why the goodness never stays Or why love didn't come again today Isn't there someone who knows they're in trouble Isn't there someone who sees I'll be the someone who cares that you're dying for love I can be the someone that you need I know you dream at night and lay your feelings down And you wish your life could be more like your dreams What a moonlit sound, your voice is not too loud But somehow I hear it coming through to me I pray you hang on to your dream And I hope it gives you all the love you need You need Isn't there someone who knows that you're hurting Is there someone to believe Well, I'll be the someone who cares that you're dying for love I can be the someone that you need Don't you miss love, I know I often do That's why I'm pulling you closer to me But like anything you can't see It's just a little harder to believe Isn't there someone who loves you completely Isn't there someone like me Well, I'll be the someone who cares that you're dying for love I can be the someone that you need I can be the someone that you need |

It was early Sunday morning
Everyone in the house was still asleep She made some toast and coffee Took a shower and made herself smell sweet She said, "I don't want a bus ride, I believe that the walk might help me think Got a heart kind of heavy I need some big hat and gloves, shoes and bag religion!" Religion That's my decision Some of that "make me feel better when I shout!!!" religion That's my decision Papa Henry was full of spice He was a man usually nice But something got into him last night Made him want to fuss and hollar The entire house was in a sweat His bottle got broken and the floor got wet "Clean it up!" you could hear him scream Then he said, "I'm going out" I need religion Religion That's my decision Some of that "raise up the roof, 90 proof" religion That's my decision Religion It's my decision, oh yes it is That's my decision It's the story about a good family Who doesn't live anymore in good harmony They are people who love their daughter and son They try to give them religion Little Billy likes his best friend Jack How in the world could he be like that Mama and Henry wanna have that chat Boy, you need religion Little Betty, whatcha gonna do? There's a child growing inside of you You should've stopped and thought things through Little girl you need a vision of religion Religion And that's my decision Some of that "how'd I get on Rikki Lake" religion That's my decision Religion Get a little, Religion Get a little Religion |

No one knows the side of you that I know
No one gets to see, to feel you To hear you when they call I'm the only one you answer Because I know what to do I know what to do When I need you I just close my eyes and I'm with you And all that I so want to give you Is only a heartbeat away When I need love I hold out my hand and I touch love I never knew there was so much love Keeping me warm night and day Miles and miles of empty space in between us A telephone can't take the place of your smile But I won't be traveling forever It's cold out, but hold out And do like I do When I need you I just close my eyes and I'm with you And all that I so want to give you Is only a heartbeat away It's not easy when the road is your driver But honey that's the heavy load that we bear But I won't be traveling a lifetime It's cold out, but hold out And do like I do When I need you But I won't be traveling a lifetime It's cold out, oh honey, hold out And do like I do When I need you I just close my eyes and I'm with you baby And all that I so want to give you Is only a heartbeat away When I need love I hold out my hand and I touch love I never knew there was so much love Keeping me warm night and day Honey, when I need you I'm in a cloud and I'm holding my hand out to you Holding my hand out to you Holding my hand out for you |

I was lost until the day I found you
And I know you know There's not a thing for you that I wouldn't do But, yesterday was rough on me I was under the weather So my dear, I didn't have much to say And I rushed you off of the phone last night So I called you back to apologize But your line stayed busy through the night, you see And it makes me wonder Are you mad at me? I was right to fall in love this way And one thing's for sure The angels smiled on me When you came my way So my dear, tonight's the night It's gonna be special I can't wait to see the face of my love But even though I tried, sorry I was late And I understand that you couldn't wait But you're pulling back, honey I can see And it makes me worry Are you mad at me? I wish I could be perfect for you Can't you see how hard I try? When you talk to me I can hear the pain When I look in your face I can see the strain And I can hear the cries of the willow tree Something's wrong I know it Are you mad at me? |
