"I Stand Accused"

"I Stand Accused"



Girl
I stand accused
Of loving you just a little too much
And I hope (oh Lord)
Sure enough hope it's not a crime
Guilty of loving you
(Oh baby)

I hope that I
That I never never never have to testify
If I do, if I do, everyone's gonna cry, baby
That boy is guilty (lord lord) of loving you

Although you belong to another boy, baby
And I may not stand the ghost of a chance
But I'll tell the world (y'all)
I love her, I need her, baby
And I'm a victim of circumstance
And been proven guilty
Oh, yes, I am, yes I am
Did you know?
One touch (lord lord lord)
And I find myself
Right back, right back on the witness stand
Shouting out, shouting out, shouting out
All over the land
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
Baby!
Please, mama, please...

Turning another page into life's mystery

With me to eternity

"I Wish You Were Here"

"I Wish You Were Here"


Lookin' out my window, sun shinin' bright
Birds singin', tryin' to make things right
I've got good music on my radio
How did your love songs play from those doors?

I don't want no one to come in to catch me sigh
But every since you left, said goodbye
I wish you were here with me
I wish you were here with me

[?] 'bout your kiss, gloom all around me
Seem like love is never gonna find me
I keep on looking for a, a brighter day
When all I see is time slipping away

I've got to stop and get myself together
All I can see is stormy weather
I wish you were here with me
I wish you were here with me

I've got to stop, get myself together
'Coz all I can see is stormy weather
I wish you were here with me
I wish you were here with me
I wish you were here
I just wish you were here with me

"I'd Fly Away"

"I'd Fly Away"



If I had wings, I'd fly
I'd fly away
If I had a light to give
Each and everyday, no

And if the Angel of Love
Upon my shoulder
My very least is
To try and fly away, hey, hey

All this walking and talking
Mix my loud and easy, hey
All this rustlin' and tuslin' on the job
Life sure ain't green there, no

But if I had wings, oh this evening
Just enough for
And I had no words, no words to say
I'd fly away, hey, hey

Let me fly away, hey, hey

Ooh, I'd fly away

All of this talk about flying away
Looking here to the far blue yonder
Listen to me
I tell you that is sets my heart aglow, yeah
Kinda makes me wonder

The city of Angels with the light
That shines forever, I said forevermore
Makes me fly away, hey, hey
Oh, she will let me fly away, hey, hey
Make me fly away, hey, hey

Play this song, yeah
And how are you this evening?
For an Angel my wings
I'd fly, fly, fly, fly

I'd fly away, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

"I'll Be Home For Christmas"
(originally by Kim Gannon)



I'm dreaming tonight of a place do I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know
It's a long road back, I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me, oh
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love lights gleam
I want you to know
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams, oh

Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Oh,

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love lights gleam, oh
I want to be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
