Kenny Rogers

I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you
I swear we've been through everything there is
Can't imagine anything we've missed
Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do

Through the years, you've never let me down
You turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found
I've found with you ... through the years
I've never been afraid, I've loved the life we've made
And I'm so glad I've stayed, right here with you
Through the years

I can't remember what I used to do
Who I trusted, whom I listened to before
I swear you've taught me everything I know
Can't imagine needing someone so
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more

Through the years, through all the good and bad
I knew how much we had, I've always been so glad
To be with you ... through the years
It's better every day, you've kissed my tears away
As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you
Through the years

Through the years, when everything went wrong
Together we were strong, I know that I belonged
Right here with you ... through the years
I never had a doubt, we'd always work things out
I've learned what love's about, by loving you
Through the years

Through the years, you've never let me down
You've turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found
I've found with you ... through the years
It's better everyday, you've kissed my tears away
As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you
Through the years!

Every now and then when the world steps in
Stealin' all our time away
It soon takes so much, we forget to touch
That's when I know it's time for me to say

Take my hand let's walk through loves door
And be free from the world once more
Here's my arms, we can hide today
And love the world away

Once again we'll be where our hearts are free
And the time is ours to share
Love will always stay just a touch away
Come with me all the magic's waiting there

Take my hand let's walk through loves door
And be free from the world once more
Here's my arms, we can hide today
And love the world away

We can love the world away

Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heros in a story
Let's go out like we came in
In a blaze of glory

Here we are broken-hearted
We thought our love would never end
We fell hard when we got started
Fallin' out like we fell in

Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heros in a story
Let's go out like we came in
In a blaze of glory

Let's gonna hurt each other


That would be a worse mistake
Once again let's act like lovers
One more time for old-time's sake

Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heros in a story
let's go out like we came in
in a blaze of glory

let's go out (let's go out)
in a blaze of glory (in a blaze of glory)
all good things must end
like two heros (ah?) in a story (in a story?.)
let's go out (let's go out) like we came in (like we came in)
in a blaze of glory?

Evryone considered him the coward of the county.
Hed never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
His mama named him tommy, the folks just called him yellow,
But something always told me they were reading tommy wrong.

He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison.
I looked after tommy cause he was my brothers son.
I still recall the final words my brother said to tommy:
Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun.

Promise me, son, not to do the things Ive done.
Walk away from trouble if you can.
It wont mean youre weak if you turn the other cheek.
I hope youre old enough to understand:
Son, you dont have to fight to be a man.

Theres someone for evryone and tommys love was becky.
In her arms he didnt have to prove he was a man.
One day while he was workin the gatlin boys came callin.
They took turns at becky.... there was three of them!

Tommy opened up the door and saw his becky cryin.
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand.
He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddys picture.
As his tears fell on his daddys face, he heard these words again:

Promise me, son, not to do the things Ive done.
Walk away from trouble if you can.
It wont mean youre weak if you turn the other cheek.
I hope youre old enough to understand:
Son, you dont have to fight to be a man.

The gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom.
One of them got up and met him halfway cross the floor.
When tommy turned around they said, hey look! ol yellows leavin.
But you coulda heard a pin drop when tommy stopped and blocked the door.

Twenty years of crawlin was bottled up inside him.
He wasnt holdin nothin back; he let em have it all.
When tommy left the barroom not a gatlin boy was standin.
He said, this ones for becky, as he watched the last one fall.
And I heard him say,

I promised you, dad, not to do the things you done.
I walk away from trouble when I can.
Now please dont think Im weak, I didnt turn the other cheek,
And papa, I sure hope you understand:
Sometimes you gotta fight when youre a man.

Evryone considered him the coward of the county.

And he'll tell her he's working late again
But she knows too well there's something going on
She's been neglected, and she needs a friend
So her trembling fingers dial the telephone

Lord, it hurts her doing this again
He's the best friend that her husband ever knew
When she's lonely, he's more than just a friend
He's the one she longs to give her body to

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
Hoping no one else discovers
Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
They don't want to hurt the others
So they love in the nighttime
And shake hands in the light of day

When it's over, there's no peace of mind
Just a longing for the way things should have been
And she wonders why some men never find
That a woman needs a lover and a friend

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
Hoping no one else discovers
Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
They don't want to hurt the others
So they love in the nighttime
And shake hands in the light of day

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
Hoping no one else discovers
Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
They don't want to hurt the others
So they love in the nighttime
And shake hands in the light of day

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
Hoping no one else discovers
Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
They don't want to hurt the others
So they love in the nighttime
And shake hands in the light of day

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You've been out ridin fences for so long now
Oh and you're a hard one, but I know that you've got your reasons
The things that are pleasin' you, can hurt you somehow.

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy, she'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones you can't get.

Desperado, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.

Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day
And you're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences- open the gates
It may be rainin, but there's a rainbow above you
You'd better let somebody love you, let somebody love you.

You'd better let somebody love you
Before it's too late...

Just look at you sitting there
You never looked better than tonight
And it would be so easy to tell you I'd stay
Like I've done so many times

I was so sure that this would be the night
You'd close the door and wanna stay with me
And it'd be so easy to tell you I'd wait
Like I've done so many times

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't you fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time
Put out the light and just hold on
Before we say goodbye

Now it's morning, the phone rings
And you say you've gotta get your things together
You just gotta leave before you change your mind
And if you knew what I was thinking girl
I'd turn around if you'd just ask me one more time

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time
Put out the light and just hold on
Before we say goodbye

Before we said goodbye

Goodbye

Lady...
I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you.
You have made me what I am and I am yours.
My love...
There's so many ways I want to say, "I love you."
Let me hold you in my arms forever more.

You have gone and made me such a fool.
I'm so lost in your love.
And oh, we belong together.
Won't you believe in my song?
Lady...
For so many years, I thought I'd never find you.
You have come into my life and made me whole.
Forever, let me wake to see you each and every morning.
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear.
In my eyes, I see no one else but you.
There's no other love like our love
And yes, oh yes I'll always want you near me.
I've waited for you for so long.
Lady...
Your love's the only love I need.
and Beside me is where I want you to be.
Cause my love there's something I want you to know.
You're the love of my life. You're my lady...

Every now and then when the world steps in
Stealin' all our time away
It soon takes so much, we forget to touch
That's when I know it's time for me to say.

Take my hand let's walk through love's door
And be free from the world once more
Here's my arms, we can hide today
And love the world away.

Once again we'll be where our hearts are free
And the time is ours to share
Love will always stay just a touch away
Come with me all the magic's waiting there.

Take my hand let's walk through love's door
And be free from the world once more
Here's my heart, we can hide today
And love the world away.

We can love the world away...

Show me a bar with a good lookin woman
then just get out of my way
show me the jukebox, i'll tell you a song you should play
sooner a later a few shots of bourbon
and i'll think of somethin to say
whoa, I can take her or leave her
but I like to take her away

Liquor and music, a good combination
if you've got love on the brain
I never knew two women who acted the same
some want a drink first
and some want to just sit and talk
whoa, oh, it's two in the morning
I'm running and she wants to walk

Something's got a hold on me
it's cheap but it ain' free
love or somethin like it's got a hold on me

That's when I asked her
my place or your place
I hope I'm not out of line
I asked the wrong thing
but just the right woman this time
cause she knew a hotel
she even had a name we could sign
whoa, oh, the cheaper the grapes are
the sweeter the taste of the wine

Something's got a hold on me
it's cheap but it ain' free
love or somethin like it's got a hold on me

Something's got a hold on me
it's cheap but it ain't free
love or somethin like it's got a hold on me
love or somethin damn near like it's got a hold on me

In a bar in Toledo across from the depot
On a bar stool she took off her ring
I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over
I sat down and asked her name
When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no quitter
But I finally quit livin' on dreams
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after
I'm after what-ever the other life brings

In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him
I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
Had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shaking his big heart was breaking
He turned to the woman and said

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

After he left us I ordered more whisky
I thought how she'd made him look small
From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room
We walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
I couldn't hold her 'cos the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille ....

Reuben James, in my song you live again
And the phrases that I rhyme are just a footstep out of time
From the time when I knew you, Reuben James

Reuben James, all the folks around Hadison County
Cussed your name
You're just a no-count, sharecropping colored man
You'd steal anything you can
And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James

Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind
Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow
Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James

For a grave, the gossiper of Hadison County died with chid
Although your skin was black
You were the one that didn't turn your back
On the hungry white child with no name, Reuben James

Reuben James, with your mind on the soul
And a bottle in your right hand
You said turn the other cheek
For there's a better world awaiting for the meek
In my mind, these words remain from Reuben James

Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind
Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow
Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James

Reuben James, one dark cloudy day
They brought you from the field
And to your lonely pine box
Came just a preacher, me and the rain
Just to sing one last refrain to Reuben James

Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind
Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow
Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James

Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind
Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow
Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James

You've painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town

It wasn't me
That started that crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that
I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, Ruby I still need some company


It's hard to love a man
Whose legs are bent and paralyzed
That my wants and needs of a woman of your age
Ruby, I realized
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town

She's leaving now cause
I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it
Some 100 times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby for God's sake turn around

While she lays sleeping, I stay out late at night and play my songs
And sometimes all the nights can be so long
And it's good when I finally make it home, all alone
While she lays dreaming, I try to get undressed without the light
And quietly she says how was your night?
And I come to her and say, it was all right, and I hold her tight

And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me
I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world
With my little songs, I was wrong
But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully
And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right
I will find a way, find a way...

While she lays waiting, I stumble to the kitchen for a bite
Then I see my old guitar in the night
Just waiting for me like a secret friend, and there's no end
While she lays crying, I fumble with a melody or two
And I'm torn between the things that I should do
And she says to wake her up when I am through,
God her love is true...

And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me
I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world
With my little songs, I was wrong
But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully
And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right
I will find a way, while she waits... while she waits for me for me!

You lie in gentle sleep beside me
I hear your warm and rhythmic breathing
I take your hand and hold it tightly
Listen, can you not hear our young hearts beating
I kiss the sleep from your eyes
Your smile is sweeter than the morning
And here it comes.

Chorus:
Can you feel it baby
Can you feel it, here it comes
Feel it, Feel it
Fire, Fire
Something's burning
Something's burning
Something's burning
And I think it's love.

And now the sun is burning brightly
We lie in love so close together
I get the feeling deep inside me
My love for you will burn forever.
I cup my hands to touch your face
And once again I feel your fire
And here it comes

Chorus:
Can you feel it baby
Can you feel it, here it comes
Feel it, Feel it
Fire, Fire
Something's burning
Something's burning
Something's burning
And I think it's love.

And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love.
And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love.
And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love...

I wouldn't listen, and I couldn't see,
And all I have left now,
Are words you said to me

Sing me a song sweet music man,
'Cause I won't be there to hold your hand
Like I used to,
I'm through with you
You're a helluva singer
And a powerful man but you surround yourself
With people who demand so little of you
You touched my soul with your beautiful song
You even had me singing along right with you
You said "I need you"
Then you changed the words and that harmony
And you sang that song you'd written for me
To someone new

But nobody sings a love song quite like you do,
And nobody else can make me sing along,
And nobody else can make me feel
That things are right when you know they're wrong,
Nobody sings a love song quite like you.

Sing me a song sweet music man,
Your making a living doing one night stands
that do for you what you need them to
Your still a hell of a singer but a broken man
And you surround yourself with people who demand
So little of you

But nobody sings a love song quite like you do,
You travel the world with a six piece band
That does for you what you ask 'em to
And you try to stay up with the songs you sung
To so many people that all begun to come
back on you

Sing me a song sad music man
You're making your living doing one night
stands that's do with you they
don't need you, you're still a helluva singer
but a broken man but you keep on looking for
one last band to sing with you

But nobody sings a love song quite like you do,
And nobody else can make me sing along,
And nobody else can make me feel
That things are right when you're wrong with a song,
Nobody sings a love song quite like you.

So sing me a song sweet music man,
I believe in you

On a warm summer's evenin'
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness
When boredom overtook us
He began to speak

He said, "Son, I've made my life
Out of readin' people's faces
Knowin' what the cards were
By the way they held their eyes
So if you don't mind my sayin'
I can see you're out of aces
For a taste of your whiskey
I'll give you some advice"

So I handed him my bottle
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
And asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet
And his face lost all expression
He said, "If
You're gonna play the game, boy
You gotta learn to play it right"

You've got to know
When to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

Now every gambler knows
The secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep
'Cause every hand's a winner
And every hand's a loser
And the best you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep"

And when he finished speakin'
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
And faded off to sleep
And somewhere in the darkness
The gambler - he broke even
And in his final words I found
An ace that I could keep

You've got to know
When to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

You've got to know
When to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

In Cumberland Kentucky on a cool hot evening
Billy lay in love with Marrianne
She was rich judge's daughter, he was a son of a miner
But that night their love was more than they could stand

The judge said to his daughter, that son of that coal miner
Is some you'll go hell to leave alone
She knew his dad so well, she knew she couldn't tell
But the truth was bound to show before too long
Their love had started growing on its own

You can't out run the long arm of the law
No, you can't out run the long arm of the law

Billy place his hand on Mary and he felt the baby's moving
Kissed her and said I'll see you when I can
The judge had made a promise when he caught up with Billy
He'd sent him far away from Marianne

The whole town knew he'd do it too many times he'd proved it
To at least a hundred men behind the wall

He'd smiled behind that frown and when he brought that gavel down
He called himself the long arm of the law
And he'd set his mind on seeing Billy fall

In a hot humid mine shack a mid-wife pulled the sheet back
And placed a cool damp towel on Marianne
Billy's eyes were wide with wonder from the spell he was under
When she placed the new born baby in his hands

He didn't hear the siren, just a baby's crying
That miracle of lvoe was all he saw

When the door came crashing down and Billy turned around
He felt the heart and soul inside him fall
He stood face to face with the long arm of the law

You can't out run the long arm of the law
No, you can't out run the long arm of the law
You can hide out for a while, he says with a smile
But you can't out run the long arm of the law

Seemed like everybody down in Cumberland Kentucky
Came out that day to see poor Billy's trial
The court was called to order, there sat the judge's daughter
She looked so pround, holding Billy's child

When they brought Billy to him, the judge just look right thru him
As he held that holy bible in his hand and he smiled at this grandson
Then his eyes cut back to Billy
And said I think this time the law will understand
Son, I sentence you to live with Marianne

You can't out run the long arm of the law
No, you can't out run the long arm of the law
He said to Billy with a smile, I know you hide out for a while
Ah but you can't out run the long arm of the law
No you can't out run the long arm of the law

I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you
I swear we've been through everything there is
Can't imagine anything we've missed
Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do

Through the years, you've never let me down
You turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found
I've found with you ... through the years
I've never been afraid, I've loved the life we've made
And I'm so glad I've stayed, right here with you
Through the years

I can't remember what I used to do
Who I trusted, whom I listened to before
I swear you've taught me everything I know
Can't imagine needing someone so
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more

Through the years, through all the good and bad
I knew how much we had, I've always been so glad
To be with you ... through the years
It's better every day, you've kissed my tears away
As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you
Through the years

Through the years, when everything went wrong
Together we were strong, I know that I belonged
Right here with you ... through the years
I never had a doubt, we'd always work things out
I've learned what love's about, by loving you
Through the years

Through the years, you've never let me down
You've turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found
I've found with you ... through the years
It's better everyday, you've kissed my tears away
As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you
Through the years!

I know it's late
I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely

Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry?
No one will care, girl
Look at the stars now, so far away

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight, babe, why don't you stay?

Deep in my soul
I've been so lonely
All of my hopes now so fading away
I've longed for love
Like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching after today

So there it is, girl
We've got it all now
And here we are, babe
What do you say?

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?

I know it's late and I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely , both of us lonely

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light, come take my hand now
We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?
We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?

(Composer: Bruce Fisher and Billy Preston)

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
You're everything that I'd hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
You're everything that I'd hoped for
You're everything that I need
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful to me

All my life was a paper once plain, pure and white
Till you moved with your pen changing moods now and then
Till the balance was right
Then you added some music, every note was in place
And anybody could see all the changes in me by the look on my face

And you decorated my life, created a world where dreams are a part
And you decorated my life by painting your love all over my heart
You decorated my life

Like a rhyme with no reason in an unfinished song
There was no harmony life meant nothin' to me, until you came along
And you brought out the colors, what a gentle surprise
Now I'm able to see all the things life can be shining soft in your eyes

And you decorated my life, created a world where dreams are a part
And you decorated my life by painting your love all over my heart
You decorated my life

You, I know you're everything
That I've been looking for
And I, I look into your eyes
And could not ask for more
So it's only fair to lay it on the line
Hold on, I'm gonna need a little time.

But if I ever fall in love again
Sometimes when this broken heart can mend
I know it's gonna be with you
You're the one to pull me through
Though I don't know when
If I ever fall in love again.

Scared, I guess I'm scared to fly
It's such a long way down
And yet, if you'd just trust in me
I'm sure, I'd come around
And I know when you're hurt
It's hard to let someone inside
In your arms I feel I'm ready now to try.

So if I ever fall in love again
Sometimes when this broken heart can mend
I know it's gonna be with you
You're the one to pull me through
Though I don't know when
If I ever fall in love again.

I'd be a fool to ever let you go
You're the best thing in my life

(Rap)
And feels like there's never end
How to say that this was a memory
Under your love, under your world
Blow your lips, every kiss
You and I, here we go around

I know it's gonna be with you
You're the one to pull me through
Though I don't know when
If I ever fall in love again
If I ever fall in love again...

You, I know you're everything
That I've been looking for
And I, I look into your eyes
And could not ask for more
So it's only fair to lay it on the line
Hold on, I'm gonna need a little time.

But if I ever fall in love again
Sometimes when this broken heart can mend
I know it's gonna be with you
You're the one to pull me through
Though I don't know when
If I ever fall in love again.

Scared, I guess I'm scared to fly
It's such a long way down
And yet, if you'd just trust in me
I'm sure, I'd come around
And I know when you're hurt
It's hard to let someone inside
In your arms I feel I'm ready now to try.

So if I ever fall in love again
Sometimes when this broken heart can mend
I know it's gonna be with you
You're the one to pull me through
Though I don't know when
If I ever fall in love again.

I'd be a fool to ever let you go
You're the best thing in my life

(Rap)
And feels like there's never end
How to say that this was a memory
Under your love, under your world
Blow your lips, every kiss
You and I, here we go around

I know it's gonna be with you
You're the one to pull me through
Though I don't know when
If I ever fall in love again
If I ever fall in love again...

I've loved you all my life in all my dreams
So why am I surprised here with me
That's how it should be
But you look in my eyes, turn away
You can see inside, I'm afraid
Afraid of feeling.

I don't know what to say
I don't understand
It's not the way I planned.

I can't stay, I can't leave
I'm torn between two people I need
One of them is you, the other is me
We come from different world, different stars
But when you're lying here in my arms
All I wanna do is love the way you do
All I wanna do is love the way you do.

How can I go on but nothing's changed
You and I both know the choice was made
When I first touched you
Now if I stay or leave it's all the same
Awake or in my dreams I see your face
I will love you

I'm always in control now here I stand
A heart is in my hand

I can't stay, I can't leave
I'm torn between two people I need
One of them is you, the other is me
We come from different world, different stars
But when you're lying here in my arms
All I wanna do is love the way you do
All I wanna do is love the way you do.

MAYBE

Maybe, is a word that hangs between us
It's the thing to say when all else has failed
Maybe we failed, maybe
Maybe, but I can't bare say it's over
Til the love we found is hopelessly lost
Maybe I could, maybe not.

Our lives might have come unwound
But have we've come so far
That we can't turn the hurt around
Our hearts still remain the same
Oh, first to wonder why
Oh, ask to make a change.

But maybe
Maybe, if we hold on to tomorrow
Just hold on, just hold on
Then we just might find a feeling again
Not let it end.

Maybe, it's a word that hangs between us
Maybe, time would help the wondering to stop
Maybe we will know, maybe not
Maybe, maybe.

Call me a fool, send me away
I've got to say it's you I adore
I'm longing in love, falling apart
I follow my heart straight to your door.

Face to face with all honesty
I will be grateful if you'd give to me
Just one night to lay in your arms
Give me just one night could it be that I was born
To make every dream you ever had come true
In just one night, oh one night with you.

Standing this close the sound of your voice
Leads me no choice I offer my love
Am I so wrong to think you might fall
'Cause baby you're all I can think of.

Face to face with all honesty
I will be grateful if you'd give to me
Just one night to lay in your arms
Give me just one night could it be that I was born
To make every dream you ever had come true
In just one night, oh one night with you.

They rode like they was Rangers as they came out of the skies
They had High-Tech horses with beacons in their eyes
My gun was cocked and ready when I looked into their faces
I seen they weren't just common buck-a-roos born of the human race
No, sir, these Cowboys came from space

Their shootin' irons shot laser light and their spurs was anodized
Bandanas caked with stardust and their jeans was pressurized
Well they handed me a halter and said, "Tighten up the girth."
But before I hit the saddle we were miles above the Earth.
And I mean MILES above the Earth

Yippie-aye-ay-e

I seen London, Paris, Budapest, Kashmir and Tokyo
And there ain't no sight like a desert night looking down on Mexico
Through the Moons of Mars and Jupiter, 'round Saturn's rings we rode
Past the frozen plains of Pluto where even the sunshine's cold
Man, I do mean COLD

Then our innterstellar stalions sailed through the starless void
There was nothing to miss in that emptiness, not even a stray asteroid
'Til we picked up the trail of a comet's tail, man, you can't even DREAM that
far
And the galloping beat of the rhythm of an old catgut guitar
Just-a stummin' distant star

Yippie-aye-ay-e

Well, it could have lasted minutes or a hundred thousand years
When they got me down, I was safe and sound and it hadn't
even popped my ears
And the ran back on their broncos and they shot a bolt of light
I knew they were the good guys, yes, sir. you got it right
'Cause their cowboy hats was White

So I asked them as they pulled their reins towards the settin' sun
"Before you go, I'd like to know, just where you boys come from?"
Well they opened up a star chart and said, "right here where this 'X' is
It's the biggest place in Outer Space, the planet known as Texas"

Yippie-aye-ay-e
Yippie-aye-ay-e
Yippie-aye-ay-e
Yippie-aye-ay-e

From the moment I met you,
you made my life complete.
This wave of pure devotion,
has swept me off my feet.

And tonight when we kissed,
you still took my breath away.
It goes without saying,
but I'll say it anyway...

The vows go un-broken - and you still know I do.
Love, keep and honor - always true to you.

Though I have been tempted,
oh I have never strayed.
I'd die before I'd damage,
this union we have made.

The vows go unbroken - and you still know I do.
Love, keep and honor - always true to you.

I knew from the first - that for better or worse,
I'd stand by you all my life.

And the go vows unbroken - and you still know I do.
Love, keep and honor - always true to you.
Love, keep and honor - always true to you.

From the moment I met you,
you made my life complete.
This wave of pure devotion,
has swept me off my feet.

There lies the difference

I don't have to go out tonight
I don't have to guess who I'll see
I haven't been lonely
Since the first time we met
Now I know I'll never be.

‘cos I really care about you
and you really care about me
and there lies the difference
between now and when I was free.
This time love won't go away
The future's so easy to see
And there lies the difference
Between now and what used to be.

There's no substitute for the truth
And I know you come straight from the heart
And our love stands out in the light of the day
Not only in the heat of the dark.

‘cos I really care …

If I could step back in time
With offers of you to be mine
I'd only step back
As far as when you came to me.

And this time love won't go away
The future's so easy to see
And there lies …

We knew it was one in a million
It was such a long shot
Somehow we've got here together
And who knows what will happen
Anything can happen
If we keep getting better
And we keep on believing.

When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere
Who's to say that we can't make it
It's the same dream that we share
When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere.

This road was so long and winding
It was such a hard road
But we can't stop once we had started
We were always getting closer
Suddenly it happens
A chance in a lifetime
Now we're gonna take it
We can make it.

When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere
Who's to say that we can't make it
It's the same dream that we share
When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere...

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
Shepards quake
Round thy head
At the sight
Glory streams from heaven above
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
Christ the savior is born.
Christ the savior is born.

Silent Night
Holy Night
Son of God
Loves pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the God of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord at thy birth.
Jesus Lord at thy birth...

Crazy in love.

Ain't funny how time
Steals the feeling from a love affair
And there's no place to lay the blame
a€?cos in any case, oh, no one cares
helplessly we just watched it fade away
neither will admit it
are we both aching to say.

We, you, I miss the days when we were crazy in love
When you were so sure of me, I had my little jealousy.
We, you, bring back the days when we were crazy in love
I wanna feel that way again, remember when we were crazy in love.

I know it used to be so easy
One touch and I was high
And I could get intoxicated
Just by looking in your eyes
Oh, baby ain't there anything we can do
a€?cos I know you're missing me
as much as I've been missing you.

We, you, a€|

Girl, we were more than best of friends
We were crazy in love.

If I were a painting
Captured on canvas
Alone in the portrait I would stand
And brush strokes bold
Yet soft as a whisper
The work of a feminine hand

Caught in a still life
Surrounded by shadows
OR lost in a background of blue

If I were a painting
My price would be pain
And the artist would have to be you

I imagine the colors
Would all run together
If you ever allowed me to cry
So don't paint the tears
Just let me remember me
Without you in my LIFE

It's only the frame
That holds me together
Or else I would be falling apart

If I were a painting
I wouldn't FEAR
And you wouldn't be breaking my heart

Comin' home from work today I saw our future
And old man and his wife were holdin' hands
They were sittin' on a front porch swing like two young lovers
I waved to them as I went by then I realized
That life does not grow dimmer with the settin' of the sun
The best years of our lives still are yet to come.

In our old age love will just get better
The longer we're together, we'll grow stronger everyday
Our bodies may get weaker and our hair will turn gray
But love will never fade in our age ( love will never fade ).

One day the kids will all be grown and they'll be leavin'
And it will be like it was years ago
We'll be sittin' on the front porch swing like two young lovers
'Cause today I just saw what our future holds...

Woman you're the closest thing
I know, to peace on earth
You warm to what feels cold in me
And healing to what hurts.

Woman can you tell me why
I'm driven as I am
Is there something that I have
That makes you give a damn.

Be my comfort when the world
Waves me to the ground
Take me when I've lost my way
Let me know I'm found.

Be a blanket to my soul
Wrap it all around
Be a feather babe to me
And lay my body down.

Touch me with your finger tips
Give my burdens rest
Tell me not to worry so
I know that you know best.

Lady take my callused hands
And hold them in your arms
Lie against me in the dark
And show me I've come home.

Be my comfort when the world
Waves me to the ground
Take me when I've lost my way
Let me know I'm found....

Listen to the Rain

Early dawn, another lazy, stormy Monday morn,
Outside my ride is layin on the horn,
But I won't be torn, from your arms

Work can wait,
I call the boss and tell him I'll be late,
I've been saving for this rainy day,
What do you say we stay at home,
And make love all day long,

Chorus:

And let's just listen to the rain fall,
Music on the window pane, that's all;
Nothing ventured, nothing gained,
Just crawl back in bed,
Pull the covers overhead,
Me and you,
Like John and Yoko use to do,
Let's just listen to the rain

Life moves fast,
Let's find a way to make the moments last,
Forget the future, and forget the past,
Girl all I ask of you

Let's just listen to the rain fall,
Music on the window pane, that's all,
Nothing ventured, nothing gained;
Just crawl back in bed; pull the covers overhead
Me and you,
Like John and Yoko use to do

Let it pour, we'll hold each other let the thunder roar,
Love is never felt like this before,
And I need more of you

So let's just listen to the rain fall,
Music on the window pane, that's all,
Nothing ventured, nothing gained;
We'll crawl back in bed; pull the covers overhead
Me and you,
Like John and Yoko use to do

Just listen to the rain

Love is strange
Lots of people take it for a game
Once you get it you never want to quit
After you've had it
You say love, love is strange
Is better than a kiss
When you leave me
Sweet kisses are a miss.

Hey, you sexy thing
How do call your love girl?
I say love girl
And if she doesn't answer
I say you'd better come here love girl
And if she still doesn't answer
Well then it is
Baby love is strange, baby, baby
You are the one.

Tell me something
How do you call your love boy?
I say come here love boy
Oh, but if he doesn't answer
I say, Ah come here love boy
But what if he still doesn't answer
I simply say, Baby, oh my baby
Come here like that
You're the one.

What do you call your love girl, my sweet baby
How do you call your lover boy
You know all sorts of ways
Baby, my sweet baby
Oh my baby, you are the one...

One rainy afternoon at Union Station
As I sat alone and waited on my train
I overheard a lover's conversation
Laced with desperation and pain.

I heard a girl say when is your train leavin'
The schedule's blurry, something's in my eyes
I heard a boy say I'll just board it early
With a voice some lone drown out goodbye.

I thought there's so little love in the world
There's so little love in the world
With all of those millions of lonely boys and girls
Why is there so little love in the world.

I saw them walk together thro' the station
I saw the girl walk back alone her head held down
Her tremblin' lips the only indication
Of her losin' struggle not to cry...

I am only one of those who care
Who care about the faith of love
I know there's many others just like me
I know they two ain't had enough
a€?cos this heart's doin' battle on the front line
love's got no heroes in these modern times
what love needs is a defender
I am a soldier of love.

I see it in your eyes you felt the heat
There was a time when you believed
Love is the only way to make it thro'
Or be another casualty
From that heart's doin' battle on the front line
Love's got no heroes in these modern times
What love needs is a defender
I am a soldier of love.

They say love will win in the end
Hold him close and surely he'll be
What if its heartaches break you again
Walk away, baby, walk away.

It takes more than just one to provide
Why forgive him just to keep it alive
'Cause when its hurts are done, cry out this time
Just walk away, baby, walk away.

Think of me once in a while
I held this old dream, you see
And there's a path that leads to my door
And a home for a refugee.

Don't feel guilty for foolish desires
It ain't easy to drown a fierce fire
Cry will lead you to something much higher
Walk away, baby, walk away.

And darling, please, forget me not
Bring out your tears to me
'Cause through the years I never spoke out
And finally I'm begging, please.

If he cries out, love me once more
Just turn around, go on and open the door
Save your dream, score the one you adore
And walk away, baby, walk away.

Walk away, baby, walk away
Just walk away, baby, walk away...

Everybody's heart is torn and tattered
Mine was not designed for giving up
'Cause all I've ever done that really matters
It's what I did for love.

So count me with the wound and the shaking
Even when I'm barely standing up
I've tried to offer more than I have taken
It's what I did for love.

What I did for love,
What I did for love
And I hope that you can see
All that love they've done for me.

And when they sit and list the reasons I've existed
I'm afraid it won't add up to very much
'Cause I've gathered all I had and gladly rested
That's what I did for love.

What I did for love,
What I did for love
And I hope that you can see
All that love they've done for me.

Some day I'll make silently surrender
This old heart has finally had enough
But I hope that I will always be remembered
For what I did for love...

Sometimes when I'm down and alone
I feel just like a child with out a home
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on, honey
All I ever need is you.

Your my first love, your my last
Your my future, your my past
Ohhh loving you is all I ask, honey
All I ever need is you.

Winters come and then they go
And we watch the melting snow
Sure summer follows spring, all the things you do
Give me a reason to build my world around you.

(World around you)

Some men follow rainbows I am told
Some men search for silver, some for gold
But I found my treasures in my soul
And all I ever need is you.

Without love I'd never find the way
Through ups and downs of every single day
And I won't sleep at night until you say
Honey, all I ever need is you.

La, La, La, La, La, La
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on
Honey, all I'll ever need is you.

La, La, La, La, La, La
But I found my treasures in my soul
Honey, and all I ever need is you.

La, La, La, La, La, La...

He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
A three car garage, her own credit cards
He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss good night
If he could only read her mind, she'd say:

Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life.

Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone
And she can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong
'Cause lately she'd try anything to turn his head
Would it make a difference if she said:

Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life.

And the more that he lives the less that he tries
To show her the love that he hold inside
And the more that she gives the more that he sees
This is a story of you and me.

So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
Opened the door to a heart that I hurt
And I hope you notice this look in my eyes
'Cause I'm gonna make things right.

I'm gonna hold you tonight
Do all those little things
For the rest of your life...

Just look at you sitting there
You never looked better than tonight
And it would be so easy to tell you I'd stay
Like I've done so many times

I was so sure that this would be the night
You'd close the door and wanna stay with me
And it'd be so easy to tell you I'd wait
Like I've done so many times

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't you fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time
Put out the light and just hold on
Before we say goodbye

Now it's morning, the phone rings
And you say you've gotta get your things together
You just gotta leave before you change your mind
And if you knew what I was thinking girl
I'd turn around if you'd just ask me one more time

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time
Put out the light and just hold on
Before we say goodbye

Before we said goodbye

Goodbye

You want things your way
And I want them mine
And now we don't know
Just where to draw the line
How can love survive
If we keep changing sides
And who picks up the pieces
Every time two fools collide

You lay the blame on me
And I the blame on you
But why do we keep finding faults
In everything you do
And how long can we keep right in wrong
So cut and dry
And who picks up the pieces
Every time two fools collide

We can save our love
We still have the time
Oh, I know there must be a way
That we still haven't tried
To keep our hearts from breaking
Every time two fools collide

Lady
I'm your knight
in shining armor
and I love you
You have made me
what I am and
I am yours

My love
there's so many ways
I want to say
I love you
Let me hold you in my arms
forever more

You have gone
and made me such a fool
I'm so lost in your love
And oh
we belong together
Won't you believe in my song

Lady
for so many years
I thought I'd never find you
You have come into my life
and made me whole

Forever
let me wake
to see you each
and every morning
Let me hear you
whisper softly
in my ear

In my eyes
I see no one else but you
There's no other
love like our love
And yes
oh yes
I'll always want you near me
I've waited for you
for so long

Lady
your love's the only
love I need
And beside me
is where
I want you to be
Cause my love
there's something
I want you to know
You're the love of my life
you're my lady

Every now and then when the world steps in
Stealin' all our time away
It soon takes so much, we forget to touch
That's when I know it's time for me to say.

Take my hand let's walk through love's door
And be free from the world once more
Here's my arms, we can hide today
And love the world away.

Once again we'll be where our hearts are free
And the time is ours to share
Love will always stay just a touch away
Come with me all the magic's waiting there.

Take my hand let's walk through love's door
And be free from the world once more
Here's my heart, we can hide today
And love the world away.

We can love the world away...

Show me a bar with a good lookin woman
then just get out of my way
show me the jukebox, i'll tell you a song you should play
sooner a later a few shots of bourbon
and i'll think of somethin to say
whoa, I can take her or leave her
but I like to take her away

Liquor and music, a good combination
if you've got love on the brain
I never knew two women who acted the same
some want a drink first
and some want to just sit and talk
whoa, oh, it's two in the morning
I'm running and she wants to walk

Something's got a hold on me
it's cheap but it ain' free
love or somethin like it's got a hold on me

That's when I asked her
my place or your place
I hope I'm not out of line
I asked the wrong thing
but just the right woman this time
cause she knew a hotel
she even had a name we could sign
whoa, oh, the cheaper the grapes are
the sweeter the taste of the wine

Something's got a hold on me
it's cheap but it ain' free
love or somethin like it's got a hold on me

Something's got a hold on me
it's cheap but it ain't free
love or somethin like it's got a hold on me
love or somethin damn near like it's got a hold on me

In a bar in Toledo across from the depot
On a bar stool she took off her ring
I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over
I sat down and asked her name
When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no quitter
But I finally quit livin' on dreams
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after
I'm after what-ever the other life brings

In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him
I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
Had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shaking his big heart was breaking
He turned to the woman and said

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

After he left us I ordered more whisky
I thought how she'd made him look small
From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room
We walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
I couldn't hold her 'cos the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille ....

MY WORLD BEGINS AND ENDS WITH YOU
Writers Larry Keith, Steve Pippin
Copyright 1974

My world was no more than a dream
And waitin' on a dream can sure get lonely
Your love just fell right into place
And filled and empty space to overflowing, overflowing
My world begins with havin' a friend when I'm feeling blue
My world would end if ever I heard you say we were through
Just don't know what I'd do
a€?Cause my world begins and ends with you
Sometimes I tell little lies to see if your eyes are looking through me
But you know lying's not my style
I just need your smile coming to me
Reassuring me
My world begins with havin' a friend when I'm feeling blue
My world would end if ever I heard you say we were through
Just don't know what I'd do
a€?Cause my world begins and ends with you

You've painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town

It wasn't me
That started that crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that
I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, Ruby I still need some company


It's hard to love a man
Whose legs are bent and paralyzed
That my wants and needs of a woman of your age
Ruby, I realized
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town

She's leaving now cause
I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it
Some 100 times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby for God's sake turn around

While she lays sleeping, I stay out late at night and play my songs
And sometimes all the nights can be so long
And it's good when I finally make it home, all alone
While she lays dreaming, I try to get undressed without the light
And quietly she says how was your night?
And I come to her and say, it was all right, and I hold her tight

And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me
I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world
With my little songs, I was wrong
But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully
And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right
I will find a way, find a way...

While she lays waiting, I stumble to the kitchen for a bite
Then I see my old guitar in the night
Just waiting for me like a secret friend, and there's no end
While she lays crying, I fumble with a melody or two
And I'm torn between the things that I should do
And she says to wake her up when I am through,
God her love is true...

And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me
I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world
With my little songs, I was wrong
But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully
And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right
I will find a way, while she waits... while she waits for me for me!

They ask me, how we do it?
And I tell them, we love each other
There's really nothing to it
It's easy, we love each other so.
And we always will, and I know,
We found it long ago and now it's sure
That it's the kind to last forever.

They ask me, can we make it?
And I tell them, we love each other
If there's trouble, can we take it?
And I tell them, we love each other.

More than we ever have before
And they should know
When they ask us, how we do it
We just tell them, we love each other so.
We love each other.

We love each other
More than we ever
And they should know
When they ask us, how we do it
We just tell them, we love each other so,
We love each other...

I don't wanna read the paper this morning
I don't wanna hear no busy city sounds
There's so many things that's so much more important
And they're the only things worth thinkin' 'bout.

Why don't go somewhere and love
It's been a long long time
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And lock the world outside.

Why don't we just lay down what we're doin'
We don't need a reason or a rhyme
Don't take the time to stop and think about it
If we talk too much we might just change our mind.

So why don't we go somewhere and love
And leave it all behind
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And stay a long long time.

Why don't we go somewhere and love
And leave it all behind
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And stay a long long time...

You and me together life's a pleasure
But without your love life's not complete
And I feel the same about you darling
We belong together, you and me.

We'll share love's joy and life's sorrow
You belong to me I belong to you
When you hold my hand the sun shines brighter
When you smile at me I lose my blues.

You and me together life's a pleasure
But without your love life's not complete
And I feel the same about you darling
We belong together, you and me.

Don't ever let nothing come between us
Think our lonely life apart would be
Gossiping tongue can never change me darling
Your love means more than life to me.

You and me together life's a pleasure
But without your love life's not complete
And I feel the same about you darling
We belong together, you and me...

All my life was a paper once plain, pure and white
Till you moved with your pen changing moods now and then
Till the balance was right
Then you added some music, every note was in place
And anybody could see all the changes in me by the look on my face

And you decorated my life, created a world where dreams are a part
And you decorated my life by painting your love all over my heart
You decorated my life

Like a rhyme with no reason in an unfinished song
There was no harmony life meant nothin' to me, until you came along
And you brought out the colors, what a gentle surprise
Now I'm able to see all the things life can be shining soft in your eyes

And you decorated my life, created a world where dreams are a part
And you decorated my life by painting your love all over my heart
You decorated my life

I cried a tear, you wiped it dry. 내가 눈물흘릴때면 당신이 닦아주고 I was confused, you cleared my mind. 내가 혼란스러울때면 당신이 맘을 편안하게 해주고 I sold my soul, you bought it back for me 내가 영혼을 팔더라도 당신이 내게 되찾아주고 And held me up and gave me dignity. 그리고 나를 높이 치켜주었고 자존심까지 불어 넣어주었어요 Somehow you needed me. 당신은 내가 필요합니다 You gave me strength to stand alone again 당신은 내가 다시 설 수 있도록 힘을 주었어요 To face the world out on my own again. 내 힘으로 세상과 맞설수 있게 해주고 You put me high upon a pedestal 날 치켜세워 높이 존중해 주니 So high that I can almost see eternity, 끝없는 미래를 내려다 볼 수 있을만큼 높이 you needed me, you needed me 당신은 내가 필요해요 당신은 내가 필요해요 And I can't believe it's you, 그게 바로 당신이라는게 믿을수가 없어요 I can't believe it's true. 그게 사실이라는거 역시 I needed you and you were there 난 당신이 필요했고 당신은 거기 있었죠 and I'll never leave 난 절대로 떠나지 않아요 Why should I leave I'd be a fool 내가 왜 바보같이 떠나겠어요? Cause I've finally found someone who really cares. 드디어 진정으로 위해줄 그런 사람을 찾았는데 You held my hand when it was cold. 추울때 내 손을 잡아주던 당신 When I was lost, you took me home. 길을 잃을땐 날 집으로 데려다 주고 You gave me hope, when I was at the end, 절망에 빠졌을 때 희망을 주고 And turned my lies back into truth again. 나의 거짓도 진실로 다시 바꾸어 주었죠 You even called me friend. 날 친구라고 부르기까지 하면서 You gave me strength to stand alone again 당신은 내가 다시 설 수 있도록 힘을 주었어요 To face the world out on my own again. 내 힘으로 세상과 맞설수 있게 해주고 You put me high upon a pedestal 날 치켜세워 높이 존중해 주니 So high that I can almost see eternity, 끝없는 미래를 내려다 볼 수 있을만큼 높이 you needed me, you needed me 당신은 내가 필요해요 당신은 내가 필요해요 you needed me 당신은 내가 필요했어요

You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before
In your finger tips
You're tryin' hard not to show it, baby
But baby, baby I know it.

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Oh, oh that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, oh, oh, oh.

Now there's no welcome look
In your eyes when I reach for you
And now you're startin' to criticize
Little things I do
It makes me just feel like cryin', baby
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dyin'.

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Oh, oh that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, oh, oh, oh.
And I can't go on, oh, oh, oh.

Baby, baby I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love, a love
A love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't let it slip away.

Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling
'Cause it's gone and I can't go on...

Once in a lifetime the right love comes by
With no rhyme or reason, you never know why
You wake up one morning and nothing's the same for you.

The kisses taste sweeter, the touch just feels right
You rush through the morning to get to the night
And then you're together and it takes your breath away.

So, hold on to your heart
Lets think forever right from the start
But loves not forever
it's just for the rest of our lives.

You're not my first love, but you'll be my last
I give you my future, forgive me my past
And I know in my heart, that this is what I want to do.

If I had one life and one love
There'd be one dream for the two of us
As God is my witness, whatever you do
Dont change a thing 'cause I love loving you
And as God is my witness I'll give you all of my love.

So. hold on to your heart,
Girl, don't you know this felt good from the start
As God is my witness I promise you
I'll be here beside you
Whatever you do.

As God is my witness
I'll give you all my love
As God is my witness
I'll give you all my love...

Only Once In A Lifetime

You ask me if someday
You'll hear me say goodbye
I couldnt walk away
If I tried.

Oh I know
My feelings go
unspoken sometimes

Chorus
You can put all your tears away
This time forever's here to stay
I know a love like yours and mine
Happens only once in a lifetime.

I hold you close to me
And our love comes alive
I never dreamed I could be
so satisfied

If fate is kind
Just once we find
Such heaven in this life
Repeat Chorus

Bridge
I might see lightening strike
twice in the same place
But I know I'd never see
Love like you've given me.

Repeat Chorus.

Take my hand, pull me up
Find my own way soon enough
You'll see me through, see me through
What you give will see me through

When my mind cannot reach
You can show me harmony
That sees me through, sees me through
What you teach will see me through

You told me, you showed me
And when you're working day was done
I watched you go, I should have known
That even when I feel alone
You'll see me through, see me through
When I need you, you'll see me through

In a world where love is found and lost so easily
I'm so thankful I share my life with you
All around you hear the sound of faithless poetry
Oh, I won't lie, that's something I won't do.

There must be a million words to whisper soft and low
There must be a million ways I could let this feeling show
But loving you with all my heart and never letting go
That's the only way, the only way I know.

Maybe I will never say everything I feel
Even so, you'll always know the truth
In the silence of a touch every word is real
As long as I live, that's what I'll give to you.

There must be a million words to whisper soft and low
There must be a million ways I could let this feeling show
But loving you with all my heart and never letting go
That's the only way, the only way I know.

That's the only way, the only way I know...

To me you are the hand that I reach for
When I've lost my way
To me you are the first star of the evening
The sun that warms my day.

Chorus:
Just as sure as I'm sure there's a heaven
This was meant to be
No road is too long
As long as you belong to me.

To me you are the truth I believe in
I believe in you
To me you are the love I have looked for
My whole life through.

Chorus:
Just as sure as I'm sure there's a heaven
This was meant to be
No road is too long
As long as you belong to me.

Chorus:
Just as sure as I'm sure there's a heaven
This was meant to be
No road is too long
As long as you belong to me...

You say you want to take me where I've never been
You make me feel like I'm in heaven
You say you want to know me just the way I am
And hold me as close as you can

If that's what you're asking, baby, I am touched
You don't need a reason to put your faith in love
I know you wanna hear me say, "It's you I'll always love"
If that's all you're asking, you're not asking much
(If that's all it takes)

You want me to surrender the secrets of my soul
And tell you all there ever is to know
You want me to promise that you will always be
The only one who watches over me

If that's what you're asking, baby, I am touched
And you don't need a reason to put your faith in love
I know you wanna hear me say, "It's you I'll always love"
If that's all you're asking, you're not asking much
(If that's all it takes)

You're the one who makes it easy to give
You know I'm gonna love you as long as I live

If that's what you're asking, baby, I am touched
You don't need a reason to put your faith in love
I know you wanna hear me say, "It's you I'll always love"
If that's all you're asking, you're not asking much
(If that's all it takes)

You're that one special woman
I thought I'd never find
With the stream to be gentle
And the courage to be kind.

Though it hasn't all been roses
Still I know you understand
One of these nights
I'm gonna take you by the hand.

And lay you down on a bed of roses
In tha peaceful shelter only love can provide
I'll lay you down on a bed of roses
And then I'll lay me down right by your side.

There's no diamond on your finger
Just a simple wedding bend
Since your knight in shining armor
Is just an ordinary man.

Though I promised you a kingdom
And we don't have all we planned
One of these nights when we're making believe
I'm gonna take you by the hand.

And lay you down on a bed of roses
In tha peaceful shelter only love can provide
I'll lay you down on a bed of roses
And then I'll lay me down right by your side...

There's your picture by the bed
I'm gonna leave it where it is
'Cause if I tear it out tonight
My heart would know
But something ain't right
Between me and you.

I'm gonna lie here in the dark
And pretend you're in my arms
And if I can't keep on crying out your name
My heart would think you're here beside me
And things are still the same.

My mind knows it's over
But how do I break it to my heart
If I let it down easy
It'd still be torn apart
And if I tell it the truth
Then the pain is gonna start
My mind knows it's over
But how do I break it to my heart.

When I saw him by your side
I guess it opened up my eyes
And my ears can finally hear your soft goodbye
But my heart still says I'm loving you tonight
And for the rest of its life...

ll be there for you
You don't have to feel alone
Like a shadow by your side
I'll be with you right or wrong

You stumble and you fall
But you can always lean on me
I'll be there to see you through
I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you
When your dreams seem far away
Even in the darkest night
You can face the world unafraid

And if you close your eyes
You will feel me next to you
No matter what you're going through
I'll be there for you

Here today, here tomorrow
Through the joy, laughter and sorrow
You're in my heart with candid souls
If you could read my mind
You'd know ...

I'll be there for you
The one who comes to your rescue
I'm the one you'll never leave
I'll be there for you
No matter what you going through
I'll be there for you

He was sitting on a bar stool
A picture from a cheating song
She'd been standing by the jukebox
Dropping quarters all night long.

He said, tell me: are you lonely?
Is there some place we can go?
She said: cowboy, you know I'm lonely
But there's something you should know.

If you wanna find gold go looking in the mountains
If you wanna find silver go digging in stones
If you wanna find heaven go reading in the Bible
If you wanna find love go looking at home.

She touched the gold ring on his finger
And held it to the jukebox light
And she said. Stranger, think what you're losing
If you leave here with me tonight.

So he hold her body closer
She felt feelings she'd never known
And he said: thank you, for the lesson
And if you need me I'll be at home.

If you wanna find gold go looking in the mountains
If you wanna find silver go digging in stones
If you wanna find heaven go reading in the Bible
If you wanna find love go looking at home...

As I walk down this busy street
I think about your leaving
How my life may never be the same
I know I should be planning ways
To enjoy this endless freedom
Losing you has put my heart in chains.

Darling, some prisons don't have walls
Your memory won't let me go at all
I found no way out since you've been gone
Some prisons don't have walls.

Every night I turn the tv on
To break the sound of silence
For a while it takes you off my mind
Just when I feel over you reality surrounds me.

There I am right back doing time.

Darling, some prisons don't have walls
Your memory won't let me go at all
I found no way out since you've been gone
Some prisons don't have walls...

Someone must feel like a fool tonight
Knowing they let you go
Someone is wishing they've done you right
Regreting they hurt you so.

Now that you're here in my loving arms
Forget all your yesterdays
Someone must feel like a fool tonight
For letting you slip away.

When I see the moon shining in your eyes
A feeling comes over me
The warmth of your touch makes me realize
Just how lucky can I be.

Surely he knows and he's sorry now
That he turned your love away
Someone must feel like a fool tonight
Knowing you're here to stay...

Sunshine, you may find my window
But you won't find me
And sunshine, I've got my friend of darkness here
Tonight to hide me.

So sunshine, as far as I'm concerned
I'm where I want to be
And sunshine, as far as you're concerned
Don't be concerned for me.

'Cause she doesn't love me anymore
She doesn't want me, Lord
She doesn't need me anymore
She grew tired of chasing rainbows
But I loved her true
And God you know I tried.

And I guess she was right
'Cause I'm at the end
I found the part but there's no golden sun.

So sunshine, can't you see I'm not alone
Don't bother me
And sunshine, pick up your dawn
And move on down the street...

I've looked everywhere there is a love affair
I must replace, racing through the people chase
But still surrounded by memories of your face

They just don?t make ?em like you anymore
Not up in the mountains or down by the shore
Something shine in the fashion in the smile that you wore
They just don?t make ?em like you anymore

In the eyes of someone new I wait for a glimpse of you
But it?s never there, one among the precious few
Your kind of person is becoming so rare

They just don?t make ?em like you anymore
Like those white lace dresses at the second hand store
Or sweet old songs filtering out through the floor
They just don?t make ?em like you anymore

Fashion comes and the fashion goes
And the gossip magazines and the videos
A brand new actress on a screen
In a brand new style of clothes
But by any other name a rose is still a rose

And it grows in my memories
Wonder if you still are the same while I look for a remedy
Someone with a tender heart to clean your name

They just don?t make ?em like you anymore
It?s an easy thing to learn but so hard to ignore
Now I know exactly what I?m looking for
They just don?t make ?em like they made ?em before

They just don?t make ?em like you anymore

You might think I'm crazy carry on this way
Calling you up in the middle of the night
But I've got something that I just can't wait to say.

I've got two good reasons I've been thinking of
Two good reasons why we should be in love
Come on, baby, it's so plain to see
I've got two good reasons about you and me.

You might think I'm desperate
But maybe I just might be
How can I convince you to see the love
Come on, baby, won't you take a chance with me.

I've got two good reasons I've been thinking of
Two good reasons why we should be in love
Come on, baby, it's so plain to see
I've got two good reasons about you and me...
