"The Christmas Song"

"The Christmas Song"

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
And Yuletide 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 ev'ry mother's child
Is gonna spy to see if Reindeers
Really know how to fly

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times, many ways;
"Merry Christmas to you"

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times, many ways;
"Merry Christmas to you"...

"The Firefly's Song"

"The Firefly's Song"

I used to run in a young man's boots
With a young man's heart
And a young man's roots
But now I stand where a young man stood before
I don't run like I used to
This old man don't run no more

You used to talk
And I used to nod
I don't listen
But I hear a lot
Don't believe for a second
That my key won't fit your door
I don't wantcha like I used to
This old man wants you more

Hey hidee ho
I used to go where the devil wouldn't go
Where the river run still
and the water don't flow
Heaven couldn't stop me then
Hey
Hidee hi
Good lord willin
And the creek don't rise
And life goes by
like the fireflies
Where the devil sits with a grin

I used to sing with a young man's voice
A young man's heart
and a young man's choice
Hope my song is what you're longing for
I don't sing like I used to
Sometimes less is more

Hey hidee ho
I used to go where the devil wouldn't go
Where the river run still
and the water don't flow
Heaven couldn't stop me then
Hey
Hidee hi
Good lord willin
And the creek don't rise
And life goes by
like the fireflies
Where the devil sits with a grin

Well this crazy life is all we got
Like a shoestring tied in a beggar's knot
In the end that's what this story shows
I don't love you like I used to
This old man loves you more
I don't love ya like a used to
This old man loves you more

"The Old Rugged Cross"

"The Old Rugged Cross"

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

[Refrain:]
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
It's shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where his glory forever I'll share.
[Refrain]

"The Sounds"

"The Sounds"

I can hear a heartbeat
It seems a little strong
I can hear the things
That I did wrong
I can hear a song
By looking in her eyes
I can hear all
The times she cried

I can hear the memory
As they echo off the wall
Falling from the pictures
Down the hall
I can hear regret
Building up inside of me
I can hear all them things
I could not see

Those are the sounds of a woman leavin'
Stronger than a wind in the willow tree
Those are the sounds of a heart breakin'
You can't hear it but the noise is killin' me

I should have heard it comin'
But I chose to pretend
I should have recognized
That sound way back then
But I just wouldn't listen
And didn't want to all those years
Now the truth is is ringin' clear
In my ears

Those are the sounds of a woman leavin'
Stronger than a wind in the willow tree
Those are the sounds of a heart breakin'
You can't hear it but the noise is killin' me

Those are the sounds of a heart breakin'
You can't hear it but the noise is killin' me

I can hear it
And the silence is killin' me...

"The Thrill Is Back"

"The Thrill Is Back"

We'll I'm ready to raise the blinds in this place
Think I'll rejoin the human race
You said yes now your wearing my ring
Guess I can stop playing ol B.B.King

[Chorus]
Cause the thrill is back
the heartache's gone
Time stands still baby love lives on
the room spins around when your kissing me
the thrill is back like it used to be

I sure could use a hair cut and shave
Now that I'm crawling outta my cave
Since you've said we were through
I've been down with a case of the blues

Cause the thrill is back
the heartache's gone
Time stands still baby love lives on
the room spins around when your kissing me
the thrill is back like it used to be

[Bridge]
I think I'd better give my doctor a call
And tell him i won't need that prozac after all

Cause the thrill is back
the heartache's gone
Time stands still baby love lives on
the room spins around when your kissing me
the thrill is back like it used to be

Cause the thrill is back
the heartache's gone
Time stands still baby love lives on
the room spins around when your kissing me
the thrill is back like it used to be

[Tag]
The room spins around when your kissing me
the thrill is back like it used to be

"The Way I Am"

"The Way I Am"

Wish I were down, on some blue bayou
With a bamboo cane stuck in the sand
But the road I'm on, don't seem to go there
So I just dream, keep on being the way I am

Wish I enjoyed, what makes my living
And what I do, with a willing hand
Some would run, but that ain't like me
So, I just dream, keep on being the way I am

[Chorus:]
The way I am, don't fit my shackles
The way I am, reality
I can almost see, that bobber dancin'
So, I just dream, keep on being the way I am

[Chorus:]
The way I am, don't fit my shackles
The way I am, reality
I can almost see, that bobber dancin'
So, I just dream, keep on being the way I am

Yeah, I just dream, and keep on being the way I am.

Yoo da lay eee.. Yoo da lay eee...

"There Goes"

"There Goes"

There you were standin' in the shadows
Well I just looked where I don't see
I'm still pretendin' I don't need you
I won't let you know you're killin' me

Like some big black widow spider
You know just how to catch your prey
I'm actin' like it doesn't matter
And you sneak up from behind and whisper my name

And there goes your paralyzin' eyes
There goes your tantalizin' smile
There goes my act of playin' it cool
And there go the words I meant to say
There go the games I wanted to play
There goes my heart fallin' for you

Well I think you're playin' with me darlin'
You like to see what you can do
Well I should be fishin' for Blue Marlin
Instead of bein' hooked by again by you

But there goes your paralyzin' eyes
There goes your tantalizin' smile
There goes my act of playin' it cool
And there go the words I meant to say
There go the games I wanted to play
There goes my heart fallin' for you

Yeah there goes your paralyzin' eyes
There goes your tantalizin' smile
There goes my heart fallin' for you
Yeah there goes my heart fallin' for you

"There Is A Time"
(originally by The Dillards)

"There Is A Time"
(originally by The Dillards)

There is a time for love and laughter
the days will pass like summer storms
the winter wind will follow after
but there is love and love is warm

There is a time for us to wander
when time is young and so are we
the woods are greener over yonder
the path is new the world is free

There is a time when leaves are falling
the woods are gray the paths are old
the snow will come when geese are callin'
you need a fire against the cold

There is a time for us to wander
when time is young and so are we
the woods are greener over yonder
the path is new the world is free

So do your roaming in the springtime
you'll find your love and summer sun
frost will come and bring a harvest
and you can sleep when the day is done

There is a time for us to wander
when time is young and so are we
the woods are greener over yonder
the path is new the world is free
the path is new the world is free

There is a time for us to wander
when time is young and so are we
the woods are greener over yonder
the path is new the world is free

"There Is Power In The Blood"

"There Is Power In The Blood"

Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There's power in the blood, power in the blood
Would you o'er evil a victory win?
There's wonderful power in the blood

There is power, power, wonder-working power
In the blood of the Lamb
There is power, power, wonder-working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb

Would you be free from your passion and pride
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood
Come for a cleansing to Calvary’s tide
There's wonderful power in the blood

There is power, power, wonder-working power
In the blood of the Lamb
There is power, power, wonder-working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb

Would you be whiter,
much whiter than snow?
There's power in the blood, power in the blood
Sin stains are lost in its life-giving flow
There's wonderful power in the blood

There is power, power, wonder-working power
In the blood of the Lamb
There is power, power, wonder-working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb

There is power, power, wonder-working power
In the blood of the Lamb
There is power, power, wonder-working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb

"There Ya Go"

"There Ya Go"

Starting over again is a bit like dancing
You just need someone to lead and take it slow
So lay your head on my shoulder
Let me hold you close, that's it
There you go
There you go, you're doing fine
Take each day like a step, one at a time
Put one foot in front of the other
And the next thing you know
That's it
There you go

Every day is like a new beginning
One door opens, while another starts to close
But just slip your arms around me
Cause life's a dance, don't know
That's it
There you go
There you go, you're doing fine
Take each day like a step, one at a time
Put one foot in front of the other
And the next thing you know
That's it
There you go

I know how it feels to have your heart crossed
Like the wings of the butterfly
But you gotta try
So just hold on tight

Put one foot in front of the other
And the next thing you know
You're dancing
There you go
That's it
There you go
