"The Lord Will Make A Way"

"The Lord Will Make A Way"



I know the Lord
Will make a way
Yes, He will
I know the Lord
Will make a way
Yes, He will
He'll make
A way for you
He will lead you
Safely through
I know the Lord
Will make a way
Yes, He will

I have a Savior
Who I can tell
All my troubles to
When I'm burdened
And don't know
What to do
I can go to Him
In secret prayer
And I can leave
All my burdens
There
I know the Lord
Will make a way

"The Masquerade Is Over"

"The Masquerade Is Over"



Your eyes don’t shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I’m afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love

Your kiss don’t mean what it used, what it used to mean
It once was inspired, now it’s just another routine
I’m so afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love

I guess I’ll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown’s disguise
And then I’ll learn to laugh, laugh like Pagliacci, oh, with tears all in my eyes

Hey baby, your kiss don’t mean what it used, what it used to mean
It once was inspired, now it’s just an everytime routine
I’m so afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love

"The Only Thing Missin'"

"The Only Thing Missin'"



Ah...ooh...ooh...ooh...

Woke up this mornin' to a perfect day
I opened my window, heard a sparrow say {Tweedle dee dee dee}
Positive thoughts are runnin' through my mind
Nothin' is wrong, feelin' real strong
'Cause a new day is comin'

The sun is shining
No clouds in view
Lovers are holdin' hands
The world's brand new

Everybody's smiling
Summer's comin' through
But the only thing that's missing is you
{Only thing that's missing is you}

I-I-I-I see your smile through your photograph
{Through your photograph}
The thing that you said still makes me laugh {Laugh}
Deep inside I'm on the edge of tears
But I can't be cryin', sittin' around sighin'
Just 'cause you're not here

The sun is shining (Sun is shining)
No clouds in view (Ooh, yeah)
Lovers are holdin' hands
The world's brand new

Everybody's smiling
Summer's comin' through
But the only thing that's missing is you
{Only thing that's missing is you}

Baby, baby, show me what do you do when love is gone
You count your blessings and you move on {And you move on}
{No, I ain't lonely} No, I ain't lonely, this ain't no
sad song
There's just one contradiction, I can't stand to be
alone

The sun is shining (Oh, come and get me, baby)
No clouds in view (In view)
Lovers are holdin' hands (Lovers are holdin' hands)
The world's brand new (Yeah, the world's brand new)

Everybody's smiling (Everybody's smiling)
Summer's comin' through (Summer's comin' on through)
But the only thing (The only thing) that's missing is
you (The only thing, only thing, yeah)
{Only thing that's missing is you}

The sun is shining
No clouds in view (In view)
Lovers are holdin' hands (Lovers are holdin' hands)
The world's brand new (The world's brand new)

Everybody's smiling (Everybody's smiling)
Summer's comin' through (Summer's comin' on through)
But the only thing that's missin' is you
{Only thing that's missin' is you} (Only thing that's
missing, baby)

But the only thing that's missing is you
{The only thing that's missing is you}

"The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)"



Does he love me?
I wanna know!
How can I tell if he loves me so?

(Is it in his eyes?)
Oh no! You'll be deceived!

"The Thrill Is Gone"

"The Thrill Is Gone"



I have had my fun if I never get well no more.
I have had my fun if I never get well no more.
All of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,

I'm going down slow.
Please write my father and tell her the shape I'm in.
Please write my father and tell her the shape I'm in.
Tell him to pray for me,
Forgive me for my sin,
For all of my sin.

Early one morning, look for my clothes back home.
Early one morning, look for my clothes back home.
'Cause all of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,
All he can do is moan.

All of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow.

Early one morning, Im coming home and I believe that Im gonna make it there
Early one morning, Im coming home and I believe that Im gonna make it there
If he doesnt see my body
Lord, I'm going down slow,

"The Way We Were"
(feat. Ronald Isley)

"The Way We Were"
(feat. Ronald Isley)



Memories like the corners of my mind
Memories
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Oh can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
And if we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me
Would we?
Could we?

Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we'll remember
We'll remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were

"The Weight"
(originally by The Band)

"The Weight"
(originally by The Band)



I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead;
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a girl might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No," was all he said.

Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free;
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) put the weight on me.

I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide;
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
She said, "Well I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around."

Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free;
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) put the weight on me.

Go down, Moses, there's nothin' that you can say
It's just like ol' Luke waitin', waitin' on Judgement Day.
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favour, stay an' keep Anna Lee some company."

Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free;
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) put the weight on me.

Catch me a cannon ball, now take me on down the line
My bag is sinkin' low, and I believe that it's about time.
To get in touch with Annie, you know she's the one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone?

Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free;
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) put the weight on me.

"The Woman"

"The Woman"



Darling, the question has been answered
And you tried hard not to say
It would have come out anyway
What could you do?

How could have meant it
How can you tell me that I was so deep
So deep in your heart
Now think about the times that we spent apart
It wasn't true

I believed in you
Wanted to be the one at your side
Oh baby I'm not someone you can hide
Yeah

A woman and a woman and a woman
Through and through
And I ain't never loved nobody
The way I loved you

We're moving further from each other
Everyday and with your every game
And it's for sure baby, that it can't stay the same
I really deserve more
Two and two still makes four

I would have given oh all my love to you
Just for the love, hey for the love of a man
And I wasn't even, listen to this,
I wasn't even in your plan uhhuh

A little plan never, never, never, never make me stay
I wanted to be the woman at your side
There's only one thing I've got baby
Baby I've got my pride

A woman and a woman and a woman
Through and through, oh yeah
But I ain't never loved nobody
Hey I ain't never needed a man
I ain't never love a man the way I loved you

I wish you, I wish you well
I loved you more than I can tell
This is good boy and I won't be bad
It's now or never boy that's a fact
I'm starting over and I think of you
And remember the things we said and used to do
How could you choose to be so small
With a greater love who you heard call
I wish love, I wish you well
I loved you more than I can tell

Oh baby
I ain't never loved nobody, I ain't never, never, never, never
Needed nobody oh yeah I ain't never loved nobody
The way, never loved a man the way I loved you
Ooh oh baby I ain't lying I ain't never loved a man the way
I loved you oh sweet thing, yeah, yeah

You can tell everyone that I love you yeah
I love you with your sensitive way
I love you baby with your courageous ways
I love you yes I do
I love you baby
With you and your sweet lies
I love you
Anybody new in your life?
With anybody new, really want you to love,
Truly I won't refute
You can tell everybody

"There's A Star For Everyone"

"There's A Star For Everyone"



Starlight, star bright, falling star that I'm seein' tonight

Time is rollin' on and I, I'm the one who's wrong
I'm the one should be movin' on, oh babe
A heart can only stand so much
It needs to touch someone, someone

So, it's up to you, do you love me too?
I get so confused when you throw excuses my way, oh baby
I need your love to hang on, please tell me that love ain't gone forever

(There's a star for everyone who's lost)
Where is my rainbow, where is my sunny day?
(There's a star for everyone who's lost)
Where is the fantasy, who took the dream away?
(There's a star for everyone)
Where is my star, who took the dream away?

Baby, every word you say always seems touch
So that I'll be makin' my way back to you
Please tell me this love for you is really shared by two

(There's a star for everyone who's lost)
Where is my rainbow, where is my sunny day
(There's a star for everyone who's lost)
Where is the fantasy, who took my dream away
(There's a star for everyone)
Where is my star? Who took the dream, who took the dream away?

Tried to find the reasons, patience wears thin
I tried to slow the seasons
But I know some day I will win, I will win

There's a star for everyone who's lost
There's a star for everyone who's lost
There's a star for everyone

Where is my rainbow, where is my sunny day?
Who took my star away, who took the dream?
Where is my rainbow, where is my sunny day?
Who took my star away, who took the dream?

Where is my rainbow, where is my sunny day?
Who took my star away, who took the dream?
Where is my rainbow, where is my sunny day?
Who took my star away, who took the dream?
Where is my rainbow?
