Kenny Rogers

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.

One time I drove to see a girl across the country
One night as I was driving through New Mexico
I had the windows wide open
It was cold and I was crying
And I laid her letter on the radio
Then I stopped outside of Tahoe
thru this tiny mining town
At a diner to refill for the ride
And in the wind I heard this crying
Like a heart broke right in two
I turned my collar up and went inside.

Well, I saw this smiling waitress
Joshing friendly with these truckers
They'd give her pats and she'd give them shoves
I said: “Miss what's that awful crying???
Everybody laughed and said:
“It's the tomb of the unknown love??
And then they pointed out the window to this stone
All by itself, beneath the tree, beside the hill
And on that winter night
I read these words alone
These words that are haunting me still, it said:

He lies a young man struck down in his prime
By the awesome burning power of love
He couldn't stand this true love cheating
So he shot the girl down
They hung him from that tree up ( right ) above
I know that local folks say it's the wind
But I know it's crying
from the tomb of the unknown love.

So I drove on to my destination
I did the job my heart commanded of me
And when the sheriff sirens came
I didn't even try to fight
They counted ten, I came out at three
So now I guess tomorrow morning
Warden reads some kind of paper
How I'm gonna pay the state for what I've done
Hey, then they'll put the shackles on me
And we'll take a little walk
They won't have to drag me ‘cos it's said and done
And maybe someday they can put me up a stone
All by itself, beneath the tree, beside the hill
And lovers everywhere can come and read along
These words that will give them a chill
and it'll say:

He lies a young man ….

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 somethin' I want you to know
You're the love of my life, you're my lady.....

(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

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lover's woe
They still say I love you
And that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time go by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman meets man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

For the morning sun and all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter, somehow make it better
Ease my troubles that's what you do.

There's a love divine
And it's yours and it's mine
Like the sun, and at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray.

To the one, oh, to the one...

(Frank J. Myers/Gary Baker)

I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my heart
And I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears.

And though I will make mistakes
I'll never break your heart
And I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there (I'll be there.)

I swear, like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there (I'll be there)
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart, and I swear

I'll give you every thing I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the walls
And when there's silver in your hair
You won't have to ask if I still care.

'Cause as the time turns the page
My love won't age at all
And I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there

I swear, like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart. and I swear

For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my hear, and I swear

I swear, like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart, and I swear

I swear, like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart, and I swear......

Oh, my love, my darling
I hunger for your touch
Alone, lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me.

Oh, my love, my darling
I hunger, for your touch
Alone, lonely time
And time goes by, so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
Oh, oh, I need your love
God speed your love to me...

So many night
I'd sit by my window
Waiting for some one
To sing me her song
So many dreams
I kept deep Inside me
along In the dark
But now you've come a long

*And you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my night with song

Rolling at sea
A drift on the waters
Could it be finally
I'm turning for home
Finally a chance
to say "Hey I love you"
never again To be all along

*Repeat
*Repeat

It can't be wrong when it feel so right
Cause you, you light up my life

Love is a many splendored thing
It's the April rose
That only grows in the early Spring
Love is nature's way of giving
A reason to believe in
The golden crown that makes a man, a king.

Once on a high and windy hill
In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
And your fingers touched my silent heart
And taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing...

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...

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...

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...

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)

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

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...

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.

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.

I remember you

I remember you
You're the one who made my dreams come true
A few kisses go.

I remember you
You're the one who said a€?I love you too, I doa€?
Didn't you know?.

I remember too
A distant bell and stars that fell like rain
Out of the blue.

When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all
Then I should tell them: I remember you.

When my life a€|

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills me and delights me
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you.

It's not just your sweet conversation
That brings the sensation
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you.

When you're in my arms
And I hold you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true.

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you only grant me the life
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you...

You are so beautiful to me

You are so beautiful to me

Cant you see


youre everything I hoped for

Youre everything I need

You are so beautiful (beautiful) to me


you are so beautiful to me

You are so beautiful to me

Cant you see e e e


youre everything I hope for

Youre everything I need

You are so beautiful (beautiful) to me

Youre beautiful to me

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

Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on
And this old world just keeps on turning

Let's just be glad, we had this time
To spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges
That were burning.

Lay your head on my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body next to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Beating soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times.

I get along you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find
You ever need me.

Don't say a word
About tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough
For sadness when you leave.

Lay your head on my pillow a€|

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...

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 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 ....

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

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.

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

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

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

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...

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

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?

You want things your way
And I want them mine
And now we don't know
Just where to draw the line
How long can love survive
If we keep choosing 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 we do
And how long can we keep right and wrongs
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
But we still haven't tried
To keep our hearts from breaking
Every time two fools collide

Kenny Rogers & Dottie West

I'll need time to get you off my mind
I may sometimes bother you, try to be in touch with you
Even ask too much of you, from time to time
Now and then, Lord, you know I'll need a friend
And 'till I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you,
'Til I can make it on my own.

I'll get by, but no matter how I try
There'll be times that you'll know I'll call
Chances are my tears will fall
And I'll have no pride at all, from time to time
But they say, oh, there'll be a brighter day
But 'til then I lean on you, that's all I mean to do,
'Til I can make it on my own.

Surely someday I'll look up and see the morning sun
Without another lonely night behind me
Then I'll know I'm over you and all my cryin's done
No more hurtin' memories can find me.

But 'til then, Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend
'Til I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you
'Til I can make it on my own...

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...

Together again My tears have stopped falling The long lonely nights Are now at an end The key to my heart You held in your hand And nothing else matters We're together again Together again The gray skies are gone Your abck in my arms Now where you belong The love that I knew is living again And nothing else matters We're together again And nothing else matters We're together again

When you made love to me tonight
I felt as if I'd died and gone to heaven
And if that's how it feels to die
Then lay me in your arms, I'm through with livin'

I'll get down on my knees
And thank the good Lord up above
That I'm the lucky girl you chose to love

And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight
So if you think I'm braggin' well, you're right
Your love has sent me flyin' and I'm higher than a kite
And I feel sorry for anyone that isn't me tonight

You got the kind of body
That was made to give a man a lot of pleasure
But what you're giving me tonight
Is more than anything on earth can measure

Every inch of you that's woman
Makes me that much more a man
I've just about enjoyed all I can stand

I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight
So if you think I'm braggin' well, you're right
Your love has sent me flyin' and I'm higher than a kite
And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight

And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight
So if you think I'm braggin' well, you're right
Your love has sent me flyin' and I'm higher than a kite
And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

For the morning sun and all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter, somehow make it better
Ease my troubles that's what you do.

There's a love divine
And it's yours and it's mine
Like the sun, and at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray.

To the one, oh, to the one...

(Frank J. Myers/Gary Baker)

I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my heart
And I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears.

And though I will make mistakes
I'll never break your heart
And I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there (I'll be there.)

I swear, like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there (I'll be there)
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart, and I swear

I'll give you every thing I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the walls
And when there's silver in your hair
You won't have to ask if I still care.

'Cause as the time turns the page
My love won't age at all
And I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there

I swear, like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart. and I swear

For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my hear, and I swear

I swear, like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart, and I swear

I swear, like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart, and I swear......

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lover's woe
They still say I love you
And that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time go by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman meets man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Oh, my love, my darling
I hunger for your touch
Alone, lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me.

Oh, my love, my darling
I hunger, for your touch
Alone, lonely time
And time goes by, so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
Oh, oh, I need your love
God speed your love to me...

Somewhere my love there will be songs to sing
Although the snow covers the hope of spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams all that your heart can hold.

Someday, we'll meet again, my love
Someday, whenever the spring breaks through
You'll come to me out of the long ago
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow.

'Til then my sweet
think of me now and then
God speed my love
'Til you are mine again...

(Temperton)

Always and forever each moment with you
Is just like a dream to me that somehow can true
And I know tomorrow will still be the same
'Cause we've got a life of love that won't ever change.

Chorus:
Everyday, love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together
Always forever with you.
(I always love you, forever)

There'll always be sunshine when I look at you
It's something I can't explain just the things that you do
If you get lonely call me and take
A second to give to me that magic you make.

Chorus:
Everyday, love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together
Always forever with you.
(I always love you, forever)

Chorus:
Everyday, love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together
Always forever with you.
(I always love you, forever)...

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!

So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dream I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now you've come along

You light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song

Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finally I'm turning for home?
Finally, a chance to say hey, I love you
Never again to be all alone

You light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song

Oh you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song

It can't be wrong
When it feels so right
'Cause you, you light up my life.....

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!

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...

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So, I'll go but I know
I'll think of you
Each step of the way
And I will always love you.

And I will always love you
Bittersweet memories,
That is all I am taking with me
So goodbye, please don't you cry
'Cause we both know I'm not what you need
And I will always love you.

And I will always love you
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all, I wish you love
And I will always love you.

And I will always love you
Bittersweet memories,
That is all I am taking with me
So goodbye, please don't you cry
'Cause we both know I'm not what you need
And I will always love you.

And I will always love you...

(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

Love me tender
Love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made
My life complete
And I love you so.

Love me tender
Love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For, my darlin', I love you
And I always will.

Love me tender
Love me long
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And we'll never part.

Love me tender
Love me true
All my dreams fulfill

I'll be your through all the years
Till the end of time.

Oh, love me tender
Love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For, my darlin', I love you
And I always will...

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

Love is a many splendored thing
It's the April rose
That only grows in the early Spring
Love is nature's way of giving
A reason to believe in
The golden crown that makes a man, a king.

Once on a high and windy hill
In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
And your fingers touched my silent heart
And taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing...

He was born so far away
So the story's told
We remember Christmas day
When winter days grow cold

With the time it passes by
We put away the trim
Then we live and wonder why
We can't remember Him

The Christmas star shines once a year
And then it fades away
Keep the spirit in your heart
It's Christmas everyday
(Christmas everyday)

It's not the bells and it's not the snow
And it's not the gifts we get
But He was born so long ago
It's easy to forget

Peace on earth, goodwill to men
But men can't go alone
We get lost along the way
But He can bring us home

Remember Him throughout the year
Without the star above
He left us all a Christmas gift
He left the gift of love

The Christmas star shines once a year
And then it fades away
Keep the spirit in your heart
And it's Christmas everyday

Hark! how the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, throw cares away
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song
With joyful ring, all carolling.

One seems to hear, words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
Oh, how they pound, raising their sound
O'er hill and dale, telling their tail
Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here.

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas.

On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone, to every home
Hark! how the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, throw cares away.

Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding dong, ding, dong, that is their song
With joyful ring, all carolling
One seems to hear, words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
O, how they pound, raising their sound
O'er hill and dale, telling their tail
Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here.

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas.

On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone, to every home
Hark! how the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, throw cares away.

Hallelujah
Hallelujah - Christmas is here.
Hallelujah - Christmas is here.
Hallelujah - Christmas is here.
Hallelujah - Christmas is here.
Hallelujah - Christmas is here.
Hallelujah - Christmas is here.
Hallelujah - Christmas is here.
Hallelujah - Christmas is here...
