I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know
What's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
When I go to my brother, my brother, ...

I play the game of the modern romeo but never in my life did I see
A woman as square as a pool table and twice as green
I gave you all of my money and all of my loving too
But now you're goin' around just a telling everybody that I made a fool of you
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
I ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you
...
Ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
It ain't no way for me to give you all you need
If you won't let me give, give all of me
I know that a mans duty is to have and love a woman
And that's the way it was planned
Oh, but how can I, how can I, how can I give you all the things I can
If you're tying both of my hands
It ain't no way, it ain't no way
Just ain't no way, ain't no way b...

Am I really here in your arms
Its just like I dreamed it would be
I feel like we're frozen in time
And you're the only one I can see
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life
And I never really knew how to love
I just hoped somehow I'd see
Asked for a little help from above
Send that angel down to me
Hey, I've looked ...
The touch of your lips next to mine
Gets me excited and makes me feel fine
The touch of your hand and your sweet hello
Oh, the fire inside you when you're holding me close
Your love so warm and tender
Oh, the thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine
Make you mine
If you would leave
Lord, I surely, I surely would die
When you were ten minutes late
I started to cry
Oh, I've ...
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once, I once was lost, oh, now am found
I was blind, oh, but now I see
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have, I have already, already come
T'was grace that brought me safe this far
And grace shall lead me home
Our world shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, who called me here, here below
Will be ...
Too many mornin' gotta wake up soon
Oh Lord and eat my breakfast by the light of the moon
Oh Lord by the light of the moon
If you see my Momma, tell her this for me

Oh Lord, I'll never be free

One of these mornings
I'm going away
Any day now
I'm going to Heaven to stay
I don't know how soon
Maybe morning, night or noon
But I'm going to see the Father
And by His side to stand
There'll be no sorrow, no sadness
Just only complete gladness
But any day now, I know that I
Know that I am going home
Then I'll shout Hallelujah
And give praises to His name
Pray any day now, I know that I

I thought it would rain forever
Caught in the flood
Reaching for some high ground
Just before I went down
It?s hard for me to remember
Just how I got through
Now, I?m lying on the cool sand
Happy here where I am
I look up the setting sun is bathing
The world with a healing light
Little darlin?, it?s gonna be a beautiful night
The rolling of distant thunder
Trouble ahead
Now, don?t you be afrai...

If I expected love when first we kissed
Blame it on my youth
If only just for you, I did exist
Blame it on my youth
I believed in everything
Like a child of three
You meant more than anything
All the world to me
If you were on my mind both night and day
Blame it on my youth
If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray
Blame it on my youth
If I cried a little bit
When first I learned the truth

Lullaby, and good night
In the sky stars are bright
Close your eyes, start to yawn
Pleasant dreams until the dawn
Close your eyes now and rest
Lay your head on my breast
Go to sleep now and rest
May your slumber be blessed
When you're weary,
feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all;
I'm on your side.
Oh When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,.
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
Oh When...
Hey oh oh
You can think that I'm just playin' games
You can think I'll do you wrong
You can think that I don't mean a word I say
You can think what you want
What you want
But if you think you're gonna stop the way
I feel about you
Baby, you're just wastin' your time
'Cause I'm not changing my mind
Can't stop the rain from falling down, oh
Can't stop the world from turnin' 'round, oh
Can't stop...
Bells will be ringing
The glad, glad news

My baby's gone
I have no friends
To wish me greetings
Once again
Choirs will be singing

By candlelight

If not for christmas
Then by new year's night

Messiah, help us to know You
Not only on Sunday
But through and through
On Your birthday we celebrate
When You came to us
But sometimes we forget
What You gave up for love
God gave up His begotten son
Because He loves us all
So sisters and brothers
Just love one another
And then everyday

Feel like Christmas in your heart
And then everyday

This is my wish for everybody in the world
To have peace and happiness
And all the love that they deserve
To every mother, every father
Every baby child [Incomprehensible]
This is my Christmas prayer
To all those who are hungry
May they never miss a meal
All the broken hearted may they find a way to heal
And all the homeless and the needy
That they might have a coat to wear

Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Take a deep breath

Open your heart
Open your heart

You love me
Tell me, you love me
You love me
You love me
You love me
You love me
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
Don't say goodnight
Don't say goodnight
We have time
Lots of time
Everything's alright
Things' gonna be alright

I?m gonna love you like nobody?s loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don?t ever bet me
'Cause I?m gonna be true if you let me
You?re gonna love me like nobody?s loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
Now won?t that be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny...
I can hear her heartbeat from a thousand miles
And the Heavens open up everytime she smiles
And when I come to her that is where I belong
And I'm running through her like a rivers song
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And I'm coming to her when the sun goes down

Cry Me A River
Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said?
Told me love was too plebe...
You saw me crying in the chapel
Tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
I am happy with the Lord
Just a plain and simple chapel
Where all good people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I?ll grow stronger
As I live from day to day
I?ve searched and I?ve searched but I couldn?t find
Nowhere on earth to find peace of mind
Now, I?m happy in the chapel
Where people are of one ...
Don't cry, don't cry, little darlin' don't cry
I'll not say my last goodbye
Whoa, so don't cry, don't cry, little darlin' don't cry
'Cuz I'll return someday
So don't weep, don't weep, little darlin' no, no don't weep
My heart tells me you're in love with me

Just a minute 'fore you leave, girl
Just a minute 'fore you touch the door
What is it that you're trying to achieve, girl
Do you think we can talk about it some more
You know the streets are filled with vipers
Who've lost all ray of hope
You know it ain't even safe no more
In the palace of the pope
Don't fall apart on me tonight
I just don't think that I could handle it
Don't fall apart on me ...
Don't go, please stay
Don't go, please stay
If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you
Not to go, but to stay in my heart
Would you walk out the door
Like you did once before?
But this time be different and please stay
Don't go, please stay
Don't go
If I call out your name like a prayer
Would you leave me alone with my tears?
Knowing I, I need you so
Would you still turn and go?
But this time...
Look at this face,
I know the years are showing,
Look at this life,
I still don't know where it's going.
Chorus:
I don't know much,
But I know I love you,
And that may be all I need to know.
Look at these eyes,
They've never see what matter,
Look at these dreams,
So beaten and so battered.
Chorus:
I don't know much,
But I know I love you,
And that may be all I need to know.

Oh, baby, I found Heaven when I found you
And this Heaven is somethin' I don't wanna lose
I only know that if you ever said, "Goodbye", I couldn't stand the pain
These eyes would cry, cry, cry like the rain
And the sun would have nowhere to shine
And the stars would all fall from the sky
Baby please, don't take away my Heaven, oh no
'Cause this world would stop turnin', I know
And I'd lose my ...
Now, you left me here and went out on the town
I don't know when I've been so down
The sky is dark, the moon is blue
I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's like I'm falling down into muddy water
Well, the National Anthem has come and gone
I still got the TV on and white noise, a blue moon
Sitting here waiting up on you
It's like I'm falling down into muddy water
The clock on the wall keeps rollin...

Earth angel, earth angel
Will you be mine ?
My darling dear, love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
Earth angel, earth angel
The one I adore
Love you forever, and ever more
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
I fell for you and I knew
The vision of your love, loveliness
I hope and I pray that someday
I'll be the vision of your happy, happiness...
I?ve been around this world, I?ve been a lot of places
Seen a million faces in a thousand times
But when I looked into your eyes, I knew, I found heaven
And I?ve been wanting to tell you, I never want to let you go
It may be winter in Eden
But what I?m feeling
Is summer in my heart
Is it too familiar to say I love you?
Would you be suspicious if I asked your name? Tell me
What would it take to...
Even though we're apart you're still right here in my heart
Your hands are still in mine, I can still hear you whispering words divine
I can feel your warm embrace, just the thought of it puts a smile upon my face
But my imagination, whoa I said it's so strong, but reality keep assuring me I'm all alone
But now from my lips comes a song, with tears in my eyes,
'cause now you're gone, so all yo...
Every day along about noon
Oh, how I'm dreaming of the day that I'll be home soon
And every day along about one
Oh, how I remember how we used to have fun
And every day along about two
Whoa, how I'm so lonely in a world so blue
And every day now along about three
When I'm dreaming of a day that I'll be free
And every day along about four
But I cry, whoa I cry, till I can cry no more
And every ...

One lonely night I stumbled upon a dream
In my ordinary world,
With eyes like an angel,
A voice like a song from the heart,
You came into my world
You crossed a river of time,
You climbed a mountain of hope,
Yes you did,
You brought me all the love that I've been living for,
And now I can only ask for one thing more,
Just to have and to hold you,
Inspire and console you,
And be...
Okay, so your heart is broken
You're sitting around mopin', mopin', mopin', cryin', cryin'
You say you're even thinking about dying
Well, before you do anything rash, baby, listen to this
Everybody plays the fool sometimes
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
Everybody plays the fool
Falling in love is such an easy thing to do

For every boy, there's a girl
And I know somewhere in this world
There must be somebody
There must be somebody, for me, for me
I pray at night alone in my sleep
That someday my lover I'll meet
'cause I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely
There must be somebody for me, for me
I pray at night that you'll come back to me
I love you with all my heart and soul
Darling, I would never make you cry
I want you ...
Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning
Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time, for the g...

For your precious love means more to me
Than any love could ever be
For when I wanted you I was so lonely and so blue
For that's what love will do
Darling, I'm so surprised,
Oh, when I first realized
That you were fooling me
Darling, they say that our love won't grow
I just want to tell them that they don't know
For as long as you, long as you are loving me

Get out of my life, leave me alone
Don?t write me no letter, don?t call me on the phone
Well, I?m trying to forget that I love you so
So let me down easy baby, just let me go
You played a game, I was a fool
When I see you with someone else, I just keep my cool
And now I?m trying to forget that I love you so
So let me down easy baby, just let me go
Well I?m alone now, as long as I could

It must have taken a long, long time to make a woman like you
Ooh baby, 'cause you're so, so fine
He took the stars from the sky, put the sparkle in your eye
Baby, don't you know you're my only desire?
When I enter the room, I smell your perfume
The taste of your lips is like the nectar from the Gods
And the sunlight on your hair is just like spun gold
After God made you, he broke the mold

You may be an ambassador to England or France
You might like to gamble, you might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world
You might be a socialite with a long string of pearls
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody
You might be a rock 'n' ...

Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend
You want me to act
Like we've never kissed
You want me to forget
Pretend we've never met
And I try and I try
But I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
Solo
I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only acts to the play...
You can go, go, go

Down, down, down came the tears
Since you went away and left me here

Fast, fast, fast went the train
That took you to the arms of another man

Don't need my picture in a magazine
Don't need approval of a chosen few
Tell you what I do need, I need you
Don't need no fixtures, fittings, or phone

I don't need reminding when the rent is due

There's a chill in the evening air
Carries me back to some place where
I thought I'd lost my way forever
Every dream and every plan
Every last chance slipped through my hand
And you smiled at me and it was over
Holding you tonight
Hold on tight
I try to say it right
And I guess sometimes the words don't come
And I wish I told you how you changed my life
And saved me with your love
I hope when ...

No more darkness, no more night

Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

No more darkness, no more night
Now I?m so happy, no sorrow in sight

They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here

From the west down to the east

They say every man needs protection

Once again,
Here am I wrapped up in a dream, I'm about to lose my mind
Over you, I've done it again
Once again,
I sit alone wondering and worrying all night long
Over you, I've done it again

I've been hurt before
I thought I was through with being a fool
But I ended in the same shoes once more
Once again,

In the still of the night
As I gaze out of my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray, stray to you
In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number
Darling, when I say to you
Do you love me, as I love you
Are you my life to be, my dream come true
Or will this dream of mine

I can see it in your eyes
You're telling me a lie
When you said you loved me
And there's something in your smile
Said you'd be gone in awhile
So, how can you love me?
I can hear it in your talk
You're about to take a walk
So, darling please don't lie
I've been knowing you way too long
So, don't say there's nothing wrong
You could never fool me, know how

And I'm wondering who you are, and how do you do, how do you do baby

There's a light shadows all the rocks that saves me
It saves me
That's why I wander and follow la vie dansante
On the night wind that takes me just where I want
That's all I want
La vie dansante
Miss the beat if ...
Hey, are you coming? Are you going?
Brother, are you just wasting time
Is there a rhyme or a reason
And when you're gonna make up your mind
Are you holding back your tears?
Will you ever let the river flow?
Or are you caught up in your fears?
Let the living water save your soul
Let go, let the mercy river flow
Let go, get on your knees and let Him know
Let go, He'll build you up and make you s...
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when all the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may...
Sammy cahn, jule styne c 1945
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally say good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if yo...
Why torture yourself when you know you're in love?
Throw your pride in the ocean and be happy beneath the stars above
Confess your feelings to the one's you love
And let's live before it's too late, let's live
Why deprive yourself of the wonders of life?
Time is getting shorter, there's no reason for those lonely nights
If you don't, if you don't love me, you'll miss the boat
And let's live be...
What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Clouds rolled in from the north and it started to rain
It rained real hard and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day, the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright
The river had busted through clear down to Plaquemine
Six feet of water i...
I?m a family man, I wasn?t born to roam
But it seems like every Christmas time
It makes me farther from my home
I love singin? my song, but it get?s me down
To hang my stockin? in some hotel
When the fat man comes to town
But, it?s alright, it?s gonna to be okay
'Cause this year I?ll be home, come a Louisiana Christmas day
Ohh, mama, I?m gonna find a way

You said he was just an old acquaintance that you knew a long time ago
I could tell when he held you in his arms, you seemed spellbound by his charms
No need to try, you can't deny, that look in your eyes spelled love, love, love, love
L o v e, l o v e, l o v e was all I saw, it was love, love, love, love
And I used to call you on the telephone
And I thought, I thought it very fun...
Lovely lady, dressed in blue
Teach me how to pray
'Cause God was just your little boy
And you know the way
Did you lift him up sometimes
Gently on your knee?
Did you tell him stories of the world
Like mother did to me?
And when he fell, did you lift him up
And make everything alright?
And did you tell him
His prayers at night?
I wanna know my lovely lady
Lovely lady, dressed, dressed in blue
O...
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born...
You are my brother, you are my family
And it seems like only yesterday, we were running wild and free
Down the corner buying candy, or messin' 'round in the neighborhood
Hanging out with you night and day, it was good, so good
Lately I've heard you've got the weight of the world on your shoulder
Times have been rough, I can't turn the other way
My brother, my brother, whatcha gonna do?
My brot...
So many special reasons we are here, so in love
I feel so blessed because I know that we in this love
You are the sun that lights the sky
You are the only one I need in my life
'Cause you are my precious star
Wherever you are, I want to be there
And you've got all of my heart
And I will respect this love forever
Yours is the sweetest song I've ever heard, or ever knew
I can't imagine living in...
O 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
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth
And...
Oh happy day, oh happy day
When Jesus washes, oh, when He washes
He washes my sins away, oh happy day
He taught me how to watch
Watch and pray, watch and pray
And He rejoy every day, every day
Oh happy day, oh happy day
When my Jesus washes, oh when He washes
He washes my sins away, oh happy day
Yeah, happy day
Words by chappeau de roquemaure
Translated by john s. dwight
Oh holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt it's worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when...
Oh little town of bethlehem, how still we see thee lie

Yet in they dark streets shineth, the everlasting light

While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love

Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news

Choirs will be singing "Silent night"
Christmas carols by candlelight

If not for Christmas, by New Year's night
Friends and relations send salutations

When all our tears have reached the sea
A part of you will live in me
Way down inside my heart
The days keep coming without fail
A new winds gonna find your sail
And that's where your journey starts
You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as a river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Just like the waves down by the shore
We're gonna keep on coming back for more

Forever my darling, our love will be true
Always and forever, I'll love only you
Just promise me darling, your love in return
May this fire in my soul dear forever burn
My hearts at your command dear, to keep love and to hold
Making you happy is my desire dear, keeping you is my goal
I'll forever love you for the rest of my days
I'll never part from you and your loving ways

Even though we're apart
You're still right here in my heart
Your hands are still in mine
I can still hear you whispering words divine
I can feel your warm embrace
Just the thought of it puts a smile upon my face
But my imagination, whoa I said it's so strong
But reality keep assuring me I'm all alone
But now from my lips comes a song
With tears in my eyes
'Cuz now you're gone
So all your sweet...
My eyes can't lie to you
My kiss, my kiss can only tell you true now
You say you have your doubts
But I say I don't know what that talks about now
My world, I have given you
I never gave myself the way I gave myself to you
What have I gotta do to make you believe I love you
What have I gotta say to make you believe you're the one for me
Didn't you hold me last night
Didn't you look in my eyes

lee diamond, george davis
It was just imagination, the temptation that went to your head and now you are a victim of circumstance
You've beat me to the girl that I always wanted
You thought you had her brother but you still don't own her because I'm not through
And there's nothing you can do
You never had her
She took you for a ride
I know that it's a fact that you sneak behind my back
Smiled ...
I can hear the bells are ringing
I can hear the angels singing
My darling has left me
Whoa, somebody please help me
Cause I need someone to show me the way
Whoa, I can hear the people say
As I kneel and start to pray
His darling has left him
Whoa I want to tell you, somebody, somebody, help him
'cause he needs someone to show him the way, whoa
For at night when I think of you dear
At all times...
I've tried my best for so long
To break down these walls
But you build them strong
So I stand here waiting, wondering why
Oh, why?
Why you don't give a little bit
Break down and give a little bit?
Show, show some emotion
Open, open your heart
Set free an ocean
Only a feeling can save us now
You say you've been hurt
Well, you're not alone
As you race through this life
What you keep to yourself
...
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ, the Savior is born
Christ, the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light

When you just give love
And never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so
And yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart
You may leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you
Love brings such misery and pain
I know I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
Well, it's too bad
And it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
First you love me
Then you snub...

Since you're gone with your guy
I feel as though I want cry
But a man ant supposed to shed a tear
If only you were here you've gone away baby, if only you were here you've gone away baby
If only if you were here I'd lie for you, darling I'd die for you
Please say you're coming home
Since you've gone away
Been working hard while you're at play
Never thinking that you are untrue

We held each other till the moon was high
We waved that sleepy little town goodbye
And driving off together we crossed our hearts
Living for the promise that love would keep us honest
And I said I?d be yours if you?d be mine
We were crazy baby
And everyday the sun was sure to shine
But it tried and tried
Sometimes the wind makes a sudden change
And some days are made for rain
We fixed a tire a...
Must be a million girls in this great big city
I know that one of them is just right for me
I've looked uptown, downtown, all around searchin'
I know she's out there waiting for me
Somewhere, somebody, lookin', longin'
Somewhere, somebody, waitin' for me
Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world can this girl be?
You know street lights shine in those passin' faces

There was a child named Bernadette
I heard the story long ago
She saw the Queen of Heaven once
And kept the vision in her soul
No one believed what she had seen
No one believed what she heard
But there were sorrows to be healed
And mercy, mercy in this world
So many hearts I find broken like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
I just want to hold you, won't you let me hold yo...

And now the purple dust of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky, the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You'll wander down the lane and far far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by, gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
That melod...
Steer me right, sweet Jesus
Steer me right, don't let me fall
Don't let me, steer me right, sweet Jesus

In my darkest hour

Twas the night before christmas all white with snow
I was lying back waiting for my baby to show
I was searching my mind for the right things to say
'cause she had to leave the very next day
When out on the driveway I heard such a clatter
I dimmed all the lights and put on clyde mcphatter
And she came to the doorway and she gave me a kiss
And the rest of the night went something like this........
Summertime
Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin', I know they are jumpin' and the cotton is so high
Your Daddy's rich and your Mama is good lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry
No need to cryin'
One of these mornings
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
You will spread your wings
Spread your wings
Then you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There is nothi...
Oh, Amelia
My southern woman
Never had a chance to say goodbye
I met her back in sixty-three, she was such a mystery
She was there on Barron Street, down in New Orleans
So wild but yet so tame, she could calm a hurricane
She was only seventeen and Amelia was her name
Oh, when I took her for a ride, she got close by my side
And when I looked into her eye, Amelia kept me hypnotized
But in my hea...
There's a new girl in my neighborhood
She's a sweet little thing, she looks real good
She gets everybody's attention around
They call her, 'Sweet little mama'
All the boys wink when they see her
Even the girls smile when they meet her
Everybody's trying to be first
To hold sweet little mama
She got a certain secret in her smile
That makes you wanna stay awhile
But the minute you get too close
...
If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby, my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy
If you are serious
Don't play with my heart, it makes me furious
But if want me to love you
Then, baby, I will, girl, you know I will
Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I-I-I-I-I know deep down inside of me
I believe you love me, forget...
If you want something to play with

With her mind far away from mine
She's mostly sincere, most of the time, yeah
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
With her strong desire to please
Oppression to her is like a disease, yeah
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way ...
I'll never hear the bells if you leave me
I'll never hear the bells
I'll never hear the bells if you leave me
I'll never hear the bells
Do you hear what I hear
Your lips are kissing mine
Can you hear the bells darling
Can you hear them when I'm kissing you
What do I have to do to make you feel the tingling too
Can you hear the bells darling
Can you hear them when I'm kissing you
Oh yeah
Oh, I ...
The bells of St. Mary's
Ah, here they are calling
The young loves, and the true loves
That come from the sea
And so my beloved
When the red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out, yes, ring out
For you, yes, you and me
The bells of St. Mary's
Ah, here they are calling
The young loves, and the true loves
That come from the sea
And so my beloved
When the red leaves are falling
The love...
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child ...
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless sky, my love
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I ...
Step right up, come on in, if you?d like to take the grand tour
Of the lonely house that once was home sweet home
I have nothing here to sell you, just some things that I will tell you
Some things I know will chill you to the bone
Over there, sits the chair where she?d bring the paper to me
Sit down on my knee and whisper, "Oh, I love you"
But now she?s gone forever and this old house will nev...
You have a love that buys you pretty clothes
All the fine things heaven only knows that I wish I could
You have a love that dances and sings
Swings, says all the pretty little things that a playboy should
Well, he's got money, he's got charms
And when you?re walkin' on and on
It hurts me so, but I just want you to know
That it's not easy, oh, heaven knows I tried
And wish the best to you, push...
Our father
Which art in heaven.
Hollowed would be thy name
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done.
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread
And forgive our debts
As we forgive our debtors.
Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
And the power, and the glory.
Forever and ever. amen.
You know night after night these guys are settin' up
Hookin' up, climbin' past the sky, they don?t really get no praise
So I wrote this song in honor of them
'Cuz without them there?d be no show
So get a roadie song, after all he ain't no bum
Give a roadie a hand, he?s really part of the band
Get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song
Them speakers weigh a ton, his work is never done
So get...
The Shadow of Your Smile
The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things you are to me
Our wistful little star
It was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Your lovely smile

Long years ago, on a deep winter night.
High in the heavens, a star shone bright.
While in the manger, a wee baby lay.
Sweetly asleep, on a bed of hay.
Jesus our lord, was that baby so small.
Lay down to sleep, in a humble stall.
Then came the star, and it stood over head.
Shedding its light, 'round his little head.
Dear baby Jesus, how tiny thou art.
I'll make a place, for thee in my heart.

Thou shalt never love another
And stand by me all the while
Take happiness with the heartache
And go through love wearing a smile
Oh, how happy we will be if we keep the ten commandments of love

Between the ticks of the clock
And the beats of my heart

Oh, why she's never on time
She should have been here
Since a quarter 'til nine
What could be keeping her so long
Well is she in another mans arms
Do we still have our date
I won't know until it's too late
Could be my bad luck
Maybe she done stood me up
She thinks that I'm lame
The way she treats me's a cryi...
The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream and I'm happy as a king
And foolish as it may seem to me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of ...
When will we open our eyes and finally discover
We are united by one blood?
When will we realize we're sisters and brothers
And what the world needs now is love?
There's a dreamer inside each one of us who wants to believe
There is still a dream to believe in
There is still a hope after hope is gone
We could be the Father's hands
And give peace a chance
And show the world, there is still a dre...

Just because I fell in love

I?ve walked through this world sometime without a friend
My life has been up and down, been close to an end
I?ve been through the mill and I?ve paid my dues
Walked so many miles in different peoples shoes
But I?ve been through the fire and I?ve walked in the rain
I?ve felt the joy and endured the pain
Once I was a schemer but I always was a dreamer
But it took me who I was and where I?ve been

Sometimes we need to start again
When this crazy life of ours is slow
And I guess that's why fools like us rush in
Where wise men never never go
In time we may find out why

And I gotta believe this love is good for me and you
And all we have to do to make it last, oh yeah

And warm your heart

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never, never, never be discouraged, oh no
Take, take it to the Lord, to the Lord in prayer

Unbelievable, describes your smile so sweet
Inconceivable, that you're a part of me
Innocent look in your eyes
Love without compromise for me
It's a mystery

Always swore that I, I would never fall

When something is wrong with my baby, something is wrong with me
And if I know that she's worried, I know I'd feel the same misery
We've been through so much together, we stand as one, that's what makes it better

And just what she means to me now, oh, you just, you just wouldn't understand
People can say ...

Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Who will buy this wonderful morning?
Such a sky you never did see
Who will tie it up with a ribbon?
And put it in a box for me
So I could see it at my leisure
Whenever things go wrong
And keep it as a treasure
To last my whole life long
Who will buy this wonderful feeling?
I'm so high I swear I could fly
Me oh my, I don't want to lose it
So what am I to do to keep this sky so blue?

Why should I fall in love
Turn my world upside down
One broken heart is quite enough
Why should I fall in love
Why should I hold your hand
Feel my hopes start to rise
It?s a long way down and I can?t fly
Why should I fall in love
Why should I hold you
Why should I dream
I know myself
I?ll just take it to extremes
I want to keep you
My whole life through
If you?ve got no one

Every time the telephone rings I hold my breath
Hoping that it's you, I'm scared to death
Phone went ring, my crippled heart cried
Let it be you, on the line
Then a voice says, "Hello, can I speak to Joe?"
"Wrong number, I am sorry, goodbye"
Pity the fool who loves you so
If you found someone new, don't let me know
The phone rang once again
My heart skipped a beat
Must be you, this is my belie...
I?m changing my mind
Never gonna learn about how to feel again
'Cause you, you?ve opened my heart
And I just can?t hide, I love you still
I know you mean it, when you say you need me
You say you won?t leave me, you?ll always be here
You won?t regret it, 'cause I?ll never leave you
And I won?t deceive you, I need you too
Yes, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
Yes, I love you, I love...

It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
quot;c'est la viequot;, say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
They furnished off an apartment with a two room roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with tv dinners and ginger ale,

You think you're so smart
Yes, you think you know it all
But the game you're trying to play
Can be played another way
And you see that, you never never had it so good 'till you met me
I brought you to the city
Now you tell me, there's no room for pity
My friends tried to tell me so
I told them they didn't know
That lights have gone to your head
You never never had it so good 'till...
Looking in your eyes
Is like looking through a window seeing clear skies of days gone by
Of happiness, imagining sweet visions of your loveliness
Oh, and your tenderness
Makes me wanna cry, for the love that we've shared
It makes me feel alive to know that you care
Hold you through the night, let me lie in your arms
Tonight I wanna love you girl 'til the morning comes
And look into your eyes

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know
What's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
When I go to my brother, my brother, ...
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once, I once was lost, oh, now am found
I was blind, oh, but now I see
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have, I have already, already come
T'was grace that brought me safe this far
And grace shall lead me home
Our world shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, who called me here, here below
Will be ...
One of these mornings
I'm going away
Any day now
I'm going to Heaven to stay
I don't know how soon
Maybe morning, night or noon
But I'm going to see the Father
And by His side to stand
There'll be no sorrow, no sadness
Just only complete gladness
But any day now, I know that I
Know that I am going home
Then I'll shout Hallelujah
And give praises to His name
Pray any day now, I know that I
Know...

When you're weary,
feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all;
I'm on your side.
Oh When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,.
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
Oh When...
You may be an ambassador to England or France
You might like to gamble, you might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world
You might be a socialite with a long string of pearls
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody
You might be a rock 'n' ...
I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray
Someone will come to show the way, I believe, I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf...
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I?m so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I wandered so aimless, my heart filled with sin
I wouldn?t let my dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I?m so happy, no sorrow in sight

They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
I see my light come shinin'

Jesus loves me, this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong
Sing, yes, Jesus loves me

Hey, are you coming? Are you going?
Brother, are you just wasting time
Is there a rhyme or a reason
And when you're gonna make up your mind
Are you holding back your tears?
Will you ever let the river flow?
Or are you caught up in your fears?
Let the living water save your soul
Let go, let the mercy river flow
Let go, get on your knees and let Him know
Let go, He'll build you up and make you s...
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when all the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may...
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning

Oh happy day, oh happy day
When Jesus washes, oh, when He washes
He washes my sins away, oh happy day
He taught me how to watch
Watch and pray, watch and pray
And He rejoy every day, every day
Oh happy day, oh happy day
When my Jesus washes, oh when He washes
He washes my sins away, oh happy day
Yeah, happy day
Steer me right, sweet Jesus
Steer me right, don't let me fall
Don't let me, steer me right, sweet Jesus
Be my all in all
I've been runnin' behind a train
I never could keep satisfied
Appetite for destruction
Keeps a man bound and tied
Oh, shine you goodness down on [Incomprehensible] me

In my darkest hour

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never, never, never be discouraged, oh no
Take, take it to the Lord, to the Lord in prayer

If I expected love when first we kissed
Blame it on my youth
If only just for you, I did exist
Blame it on my youth
I believed in everything
Like a child of three
You meant more than anything
All the world to me
If you were on my mind both night and day
Blame it on my youth
If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray
Blame it on my youth
If I cried a little bit
When first I learned the truth

I?m gonna love you like nobody?s loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don?t ever bet me
'Cause I?m gonna be true if you let me
You?re gonna love me like nobody?s loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
Now won?t that be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny...
Cry Me A River
Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said?
Told me love was too plebe...
In the still of the night
As I gaze out of my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray, stray to you
In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number
Darling, when I say to you
Do you love me, as I love you
Are you my life to be, my dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Fade out of sight
Like the moon glowing dim
On the rim of the hill
In ...

When you just give love
And never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so
And yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart
You may leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you
Love brings such misery and pain
I know I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
Well, it's too bad
And it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
First you love me
Then you snub...
Summertime
Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin', I know they are jumpin' and the cotton is so high
Your Daddy's rich and your Mama is good lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry
No need to cryin'
One of these mornings
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
You will spread your wings
Spread your wings
Then you'll take to the sky
But till that morning

The Shadow of Your Smile
The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things you are to me
Our wistful little star
It was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Your lovely smile
No...
The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream and I'm happy as a king
And foolish as it may seem to me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of ...
Who will buy this wonderful morning?
Such a sky you never did see
Who will tie it up with a ribbon?
And put it in a box for me
So I could see it at my leisure
Whenever things go wrong
And keep it as a treasure
To last my whole life long
Who will buy this wonderful feeling?
I'm so high I swear I could fly
Me oh my, I don't want to lose it
So what am I to do to keep this sky so blue?
There must ...

Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Take a deep breath
Aah
Open your heart
Open your heart
And whisper
I love you, I love you
Tell me, you love me
You love me
Tell me, you love me
You love me
You love me
You love me
You love me
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
Don't say goodnight
Don't say goodnight
We have time
Lots of time
Everything's alright
Things' gonna be alright
Hold me darling
Never let me go

Don't go, please stay
Don't go, please stay
If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you
Not to go, but to stay in my heart
Would you walk out the door
Like you did once before?
But this time be different and please stay
Don't go, please stay
Don't go
If I call out your name like a prayer
Would you leave me alone with my tears?
Knowing I, I need you so
Would you still turn and go?
But this time...
Look at this face,
I know the years are showing,
Look at this life,
I still don't know where it's going.
Chorus:
I don't know much,
But I know I love you,
And that may be all I need to know.
Look at these eyes,
They've never see what matter,
Look at these dreams,
So beaten and so battered.
Chorus:
I don't know much,
But I know I love you,
And that may be all I need to know.
So many questions s...
Oh, baby, I found Heaven when I found you
And this Heaven is somethin' I don't wanna lose
I only know that if you ever said, "Goodbye", I couldn't stand the pain
These eyes would cry, cry, cry like the rain
And the sun would have nowhere to shine
And the stars would all fall from the sky
Baby please, don't take away my Heaven, oh no
'Cause this world would stop turnin', I know
And I'd lose my ...
Okay, so your heart is broken
You're sitting around mopin', mopin', mopin', cryin', cryin'
You say you're even thinking about dying
Well, before you do anything rash, baby, listen to this
Everybody plays the fool sometimes
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
Everybody plays the fool
Falling in love is such an easy thing to do
But ther...
What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Clouds rolled in from the north and it started to rain
It rained real hard and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day, the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright
The river had busted through clear down to Plaquemine
Six feet of water i...
There?ll be some slow walkin?
Gonna be some sad talkin?
There?ll be some flowers bringin?
Gonna be some sad singin?
Over you, I say over you
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we?re through
There?ll be some long black limousines
People peepin? from their window screens
Parade of cars with their headlights on
All of that will be goin? on
Over you, I said over you
Over you, pretty baby...
And now the purple dust of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky, the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You'll wander down the lane and far far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by, gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
That melod...
If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy
If you are serious
Don't play with my heart
It makes me furious
But if you want me to love you
Then a baby I will, girl you know that I will
Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I know deep down inside me
I believe you love me, forget your...
I'll never hear the bells if you leave me
I'll never hear the bells
I'll never hear the bells if you leave me
I'll never hear the bells
Do you hear what I hear
Your lips are kissing mine
Can you hear the bells darling
Can you hear them when I'm kissing you
What do I have to do to make you feel the tingling too
Can you hear the bells darling
Can you hear them when I'm kissing you
Oh yeah
Oh, I ...
Step right up, come on in, if you?d like to take the grand tour
Of the lonely house that once was home sweet home
I have nothing here to sell you, just some things that I will tell you
Some things I know will chill you to the bone
Over there, sits the chair where she?d bring the paper to me
Sit down on my knee and whisper, "Oh, I love you"
But now she?s gone forever and this old house will nev...
I?ve walked through this world sometime without a friend
My life has been up and down, been close to an end
I?ve been through the mill and I?ve paid my dues
Walked so many miles in different peoples shoes
But I?ve been through the fire and I?ve walked in the rain
I?ve felt the joy and endured the pain
Once I was a schemer but I always was a dreamer
But it took me who I was and where I?ve been
...
Well my friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
Well my answer said all that use me stuff
Is I-I-I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Oh, you just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Uh huh, until you use me up
Well my brother, you know he sit me right down and he talked to me
Well he told me, that I ought not ...
Well, we're all searching for peace of mind
Love in this world is hard to find

And warm your heart
Only a true love, can satisfy
Open your arms and close your eyes
Walk with me, hold my hand
And warm your heart

In the sticky heat I feel you open up to me
Love comes out of no where, baby, oh, just like a hurricane

And it feels like rain
