"My Buddy"

"My Buddy"



Life is a book that we study.
Some of it's leaves bring a sigh.
There it was written, my Buddy,
That we must part, you and I.

Nights are long since you went away.
I think about you all through the day,
My buddy, my buddy,
Nobody quite so true.

Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
Just long to know that you understand,
My buddy, my buddy,
Your buddy misses you.

Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
Just long to know that you understand,
My buddy, my buddy,
Your buddy misses you.

Your buddy misses you...

"My Life's A Dance"

"My Life's A Dance"



The world was just a ball rolling around the sun
A million miles away from any other one
My life was just a dance where sometimes the music played
I held it in my hands 'til only the melody remained

And you were just a wish under a paper moon
A whisper on my lips that never could come true
But here you are with me and I'm like a child again
You set this prisoner free just when I thought I'd reached the end

Now when I look into your eyes I see
You were given as a gift to me
I know that you and I were meant to be together
If there's a Heaven shining up above
I wanna thank the one who let your love come shining through
'cause now my life's a dance I dance with you

Now I understand just what I'm living for
I can't remember how I ever did before
My heart is full of life I never knew was there
'cause through the light of love I see the world we're meant to share

Now when I look into your eyes I see
You were given as a gift to me
I know that you and I were meant to be together
If there's a Heaven shining up above
I wanna thank the one who let your love come shining through
'cause now my life's a dance I dance with you

Now when I look into your eyes I see
You were given as a gift to me
I know that you and I were meant to be together
If there's a Heaven shining up above
I wanna thank the one who let your love come shining through
'cause now my life's a dance
In everything I do
My life is just a dance I dance with you

"Nearer My God To Thee"

"Nearer My God To Thee"



Nearer, my God to Thee, nearer to Thee
Even though it be a cross that raiseth me
Still all my song shall be nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee

Though like the wanderer the sun gone down
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone
Yet in my dreams I'll be nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee

Or if on joyful wing, cleaving the sky
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee

"Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You)"

"Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You)"



Maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm weak or maybe I'm strong
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you.
Maybe I'll win, maybe I'll lose
Maybe I'm in for cryin' the blues
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you.

Somehow I know at a glance
The terrible chances I'm taking
Fine at the start then left
With a heart that is breaking.

Maybe I'll live a life of regret
And maybe I'll give much more than I get
But nevertheless I'm in love with you.

Somehow I know at a glance
The terrible chances I-I'm taking
Fine at the start then left
With a heart that is breaking.

Maybe I'll live a life of regret
And maybe I'll give much more than I get
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you...

"New Way Out"

"New Way Out"



I know how hard he'll take it
When he finds out I can't stay
So I don't want to have to tell him
If there's any other way.

Is there any new way out?
Where hearts are never broken
(Is there any new way out)
Where no one's ever hurt in anger
(Is there any new way out?)
And harsh words are never spoken
(Is there any new way out?)

Now it only stands to reason
With all the plans that mix
That someone might have stumbled
On a better way than this.

Is there any new way out
Where tears are never needed
(Is there any new way out?)
Where no one ever need surrender
(Is there any new way out?)
And neither side's mistreated
(Is there any new way out?)

Is there any new way out?
Where hearts are never broken
(Is there any new way out?)
Where no one's ever hurt in anger
(Is there any new way out?)
And harsh words are never spoken
(Is there any new way out?)

Is there any new way out?
Where tears are never needed
(Is there any new way out?)
Where no one ever need surrender
(Is there any new way out?)
And neither side's mistreated
(Is there any new way out?)...

"Nice To Be With You"

"Nice To Be With You"


Oh, it's so nice to be with you.
I love all the things ya say and do.
And it's so nice to hear you say,
You're gonna please me in every way.
Honey, I got the notion,
You're causin' commotion in my soul.

Baby, you and me have got somethin' that's real.
I know it's gonna last a lifetime.
Aww, ya better believe it, girl.
At night I call your name,
Darkness fills my room, I'm only dreamin',
About the time I'm gonna be with you.

Oh, it's so nice to be with you.
I love all the things ya say and do.
And it's so nice to hear you say,
You're gonna please me in every way.
Honey, I got the notion,
You're causin' commotion in my soul, hey.

When I'm feelin' down,
You're there to pick me up and help me to carry on.
Aww, little things mean a lot,
When you need a shoulder to cry on,
I'm there to ease the pain and chase away the rain.
Aww, darlin', I just gotta say,

Oh, it's so nice to be with you.
I love all the things ya say and do.
And it's so nice to hear you say,
You're gonna please me in every way.

Oh, it's so nice to be with you.
I love all the things ya say and do.
[Fade]
And it's so nice to hear you say,
You're gonna please me...

"Night Owl"

"Night Owl"



A catfish, he tends to groove on the water
It's just where he's bound to be
And a monkey kinds of flashes on fruits and bananas
So he lives in the top of a tree

But my eyes are made for darkness
And so the nighttime is right for me

Said I'm a night owl, honey
Sleep all day long

Now most folks they like the good day time
They like to see the shining sun
They're up in the morning
Off and running

Till they're too tired for having fun
But when the sun goes down
And them bright light shine
My daytime has just begun

I'm a night owl, honey
Sleep all day long

Said turn off that bright light, baby
You're just about to drive me blind

Draw them curtains for me, mama
You watch and you'll see
How my love light shines

Now there's two sides to this great big world
And one of them is always night
Hey, if you can take care
Of business in the sunshine, baby

I guess you're gonna be alright
But don't come looking for string bean
To lend you a hand
Because my eyes they can't stand the light

No, I'm a night owl, honey
Sleep all, sleep all day long
I said sleep all day long
I'm a night owl, honey

"No Room At The Inn"

"No Room At The Inn"



I understand their offer, that's totally unacceptable
We have no room for negotiation
Look, I've got someone at the door, call me back as soon as you know ok, bye
This is ridiculous, everytime...
Look, I'm very busy right now, I don't have any extra time, alright
So could you come back, I don't know--LATER?

Oh, they're turned down
Turned upside down
Every room is taken
Short and tall, crowded wall to wall, nearing sleep
I'll knock again, use that wanting in, make the strangers leave
Will we ever get some peace?
Sent away till another day when he'll walk among them
So a man, knocking once again, bringing peace
There are those of the young and old who will not recieve
Saying, "man, we have no need."

Still no room in the inn
Turned away once again
Wants to save everyone but no saving is done
Till there's room in the end

Long ago, yeah well maybe so,
But not much as changed since then
Pride and sin keep resisting him and always will
Don't need toys to lead someone to joy
It's for this he's watching, waiting, knocking still

Still no room in the inn
Turned away once again
Wants to save everyone but no saving is done
Till there's room...

Inside, outside, or upside down
While forever beckons to us
We serve the moth and the rust
We showed ourselves in
Let's open the inn and let him in

Came to save everyone but no saving is done
Until there's room in the inn
I hear he's coming again
Time to scrub down the walls like the lamp in the hall
And set a table for him
Let's make some room (lots of it)
In the inn

"Nobody Loves Me Like You Do"

"Nobody Loves Me Like You Do"



Like a candle burning bright,
Love is glowing in your eyes.
A flame to light our way,
That burns brighter every day.
Now I have you.
And nobody loves me like you do

Like a leaf upon the wind,
I could find no place to land.
I dreamed the hours away,
And wondered every day,
Do dreams come true?
Nobody loves me like you do.

What if I'd never met you?
Where would I be right now?
Funny how life just falls in place somehow.
You touched my heart in places,
That I never even knew.
Nobody loves me like you do.

I was words without a tune.
I was a song still unsung.
A poem with no rhyme.
A dancer out of time.
But now there's you.
Nobody loves me like you do.

What if I'd never met you?
Where would I be right now?
Funny how life just falls in place somehow.
You touched my heart in places,
That I never even knew.
Nobody loves me,
Nobody loves me,
Nobody loves me like you do.
Nobody loves me like you do.

"Now And Forever (You And Me)"

"Now And Forever (You And Me)"



Up until now I've learned to live without love
Like a ship without a sail, wandering aimlessly lost
I never knew how it felt to lose my control
Now that I've found you, this is all so new.

You and me, we've got a destiny
Starting tonight we'll be together
You and me, this is what love should be
And it's gonna be right, now and forever.

Darlin', inside your eyes I can see mysteries there
And you're melting the ice surrounding me, I'm no longer scared
I feel you inside my soul and I'm captured tonight
But don't let go, this is paradise.

You and me, we've got a destiny
Starting tonight we'll be together
You and me, this is what love should be
And it's gonna be right, if you tell me
There's a heaven up above, then that's what I'll believe
'Cause you're the one thing that I'm so sure of.

I feel you inside my soul and I'm captive tonight
But don't let go, this is paradise.

You and me, we've got a destiny
Starting tonight we'll be together
You and me, this is what love should be
And it's gonna be right, now and forever.

You and me, we've got a destiny
Starting tonight we'll be together
You and me, this is what love should be
And it's gonna be right.

Woo ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
