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...
