"Love Star"

"Love Star"


Love Star, oh star of love have you forgotten me?
I'm so lonely for someone to love
Love Star, so high above look down so you may see
Someone for me like I'm dreaming of

You see because my heart is shy
Somehow love has passed me by
And noone knows how much I cry
When I'm all alone for a love of my own

Love Star, they say for every heart a love star shines
So please, please shine for mine and let me find my love.

You see because my heart is shy
Somehow love has passed me by
and noone knows how much I cry
When I'm all alone for a love of my own

Love Star, they say for every heart a love star shines
So please, please shine for mine and let me find my love

"Loving Touch"

"Loving Touch"


You've got the loving touch that I need so much
You've got the loving touch that I need so much
No matter how I try your love I couldn't buy
Cause I need so much of your love

I've got the world at my fingers and it stands at my feet
I can fly to the moon or I can sleep in the street
There's nothing in this world I couldn't do
I get all that I want just by the wave of a hand
There's nothing on earth that won't obey my command
And now I find that all I need is you

You've got the loving touch that I need so much
You've got the loving touch that I need so much
No matter how I try your love I couldn't buy
Cause I need so much of your love

I could give the world for you to hold and you know I could
Everything I'd touch would turn to gold and you know it would
But I need something else that's only yours for the giving
I need something else to make my life worth living

You've got the loving touch that I need so much
You've got the loving touch that I need so much
No matter how I try your love I couldn't buy
Cause I need so much of your love

You've got the loving touch that I need so much
You've got the loving touch that I need so much
No matter how I try your love I couldn't buy
Cause I need so much of your love

"Mama"

"Mama"


Mama, just had to call, oh, Mama
Your baby boy just had his heart
Broken in two, she said we're through
But to send her best to you.
Oh, Mama, I'd like to run to you, Mama.
I'd come home today, leave right away,
But things won't work that way
Gotta stay, be a man,
If I can, Mama.

No, Mom, I don't know. I called her tonight.
No, not at home. Yeah, you're probably right.
Yes, I'll take care of myself. No, I'll be alright.
I'll go to bed early tonight.
Oh, Mama, tell Dad I think of him, Mama.
How's Uncle Joe, my puppy, Coco,
Tell them hello, oh, better go
But gosh, I loved her so.

Umm, Mama, don't worry so much, darling Mama.
Now, Mama don't cry, just say goodbye,
Can't have us both in tears, oh, Mom, you know me.
Yes, I'll always be your baby through all the years.

"Maybe"

"Maybe"


Crazy heart your baby's gone, don't you know?.
Empty arms give up, give up, come on let go.
And maybe I will be alright.
And maybe I'll get through tonight.
Then maybe I will see you tomorrow.

Misty eyes don't see that face in every tear.
Longing lips don't speak that name, there's no one here.
And maybe I will see the dawn.
And maybe I'll get by alone.
Then maybe I will lose my sorrow.

In a hundred years trough a million tears,
Maybe, maybe.
Maybe I'll be loving you.
And maybe when my life is through
Then maybe I'll get over you.
Maybe, maybe, maybe.

"Medicine Man"

"Medicine Man"


I'll bring you the talon from an eagle
A big black pearl from the sea
I'll bring one and twenty ponies
If you'll bring Wildflower to me

Medicine Man, make your magic mine
Turn Wildflower to a clinging vine
Medicine man won't you please help me
Don't leave me down in misery

Rattle them bones, then roll them stones
And make Wildflower mine

I will bring you white buffalo
I'll bring honey from the bee
I'll keep fire-water flowing
If you'll get the big chief to agree

Medicine Man, help me if you can
Write a secret message in the sand
Medicine man, please let her know
Tell Wildflower that I love her so

Take the breeze and shake the trees
And make Wildflower mine

Now she has no use for a white man
Helpless and worthless like me
Tell her father Big-Strong-Hand
To let Wildflower comfort me

Medicine man,medicine man
Let it be known throughout the land
Medicine man, medicine man
I have to have the hand of Wildflower

Take this piece of calico
Make a dress with a pretty bow
Tie it with a thread of lace
Take it to your secret place
Go into your sacred dance
Say a prayer for our romance
And make Wildflower mine

"Memories"

"Memories"


In a cold December, memories can melt your heart away
In a warm September, you can still remember yesterday

Even in the darkest night when dreams fade away
When your love is gone, you'll never be alone in memories

Memories, while walking through a winter snow, memories, when summer breezes start to blow
When true love is far away it may be yours in memories

Memories, while falling leaves just fill the air, memories, when springtime comes and love's not there
Even when you cry, try not to say goodbye to memories

Golden memories can turn the night into day, teach your heart to smile
And live each day a while in memories

"Memphis, Tennessee"
(originally by Chuck Berry)

"Memphis, Tennessee"
(originally by Chuck Berry)


Long Distance Information, give me Memphis, Tennessee.
Help me find the party that tried to get in touch with me.
They would not leave a number, but I know the place to call,
Cause my uncle took a message, and he wrote it on the wall.

Long Distance Information, get in touch with my Marie.
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis, Tennessee.
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge,
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge.

Long Distance Information, more than that I cannot add.
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had.
But we were torn apart because her Mom did not agree,
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee.

Now, last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye,
With "hurry home" drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes.
Marie is only 6 years old. Information, please,
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee.

Yes, oh, yes, Long Distance, I'll accept the charge. I'll pay.
But which loved one is calling me? I did not hear you say.
Both are deep within my heart, her Mom and my Marie.
It's so good to hear your voice from Memphis, Tennessee.

Oh, you mean so much to me, more than you'll ever know.
Surely you have not forgot how much I love you so.
If you would remember, dear, and sometimes talk to me.
Maybe that would reunite our home in Tennessee.

Last time I saw you, just before I had to leave.
You didn't want to see me off, and promised not to grieve.
My heart was torn apart, as I looked back at Marie.
And there the pieces still remain with you in Tennessee.

I Guess I should stop talking, after all, you placed the call.
But any way that I can help. you know I'll help you all.
Then her mother told me to come back and see Marie,
And live together in our home in Memphis, Tennessee.
