"I'm In Tune (Finding How Good Life Can Be)"

"I'm In Tune (Finding How Good Life Can Be)"



The truth was all around me
But I closed my eyes and ears
I went looking for the answers somewhere else
Now I've learned to listen
When I used to only hear
And I found the answers inside myself

I'm in tune
I can see Heaven's heartbeat
In the stars that shine above
And I can feel the power
Of a universal love
With all my imperfections
There's still a place for me
I'm finding how good life can be
I'm in tune

A thousand different teachers
Tried to teach me how to sing
But none of them could show me harmony
I feel so much better now
Singing in the key of love
With a different drummer keeping time for me

I'm in tune
I can see Heaven's heartbeat
In the stars that shine above
And I can feel the power
Of a universal love
With all my imperfections
There's still a place for me
I'm finding how good life can be
I'm in tune

I'm in tune

"I've Been Alone Too Long"

"I've Been Alone Too Long"



Funny how you can go on livin'
And lose the simple knack of givin'
It slips away before ya know it's gone
Ya build up walls and before ya know it
Someone moves you and you want to show it
But you just can't find a way of lettin' on

I've been alone too long
Baby now don't you see
I've been alone too long
That's all that's wrong with me
I want to build you a dream
Paint you a sunrise
Write you a beautiful song
But I don't know how
I've been alone too long

Funny how you can cut off feelin'
And tell yourself your wounds are healing
When all you've done is turn the pain inside
And when your sure no one can get to ya
Someone smiles and it goes right through ya
And wakes up somethin' that you thought had died

I've been alone too long
Baby now don't you see
I've been alone too long
That's all that's wrong with me
I want to build you a dream
Paint you a sunrise
Write you a beautiful song
But I don't know how
I've been alone too long

I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long

"I've Been Down This Road Before"

"I've Been Down This Road Before"



I've been down this road before
I've felt like this somewhere before
I've felt the warm hand
Turn cold
Yes I've been down that road before

I've walked along this road somewhere
I learned a lot then and there
I know a smile can turn into a frown
I've been down that road before

I missed a lot of chances
Along the way
And I've seen a green light
Turn to red
Take the time
To read the detour sign
It's a heavy toll to pay

Empty feelings left to bare
I reached for you but you weren't there
Time stood still
With darkness at my door
Yes I've been down that road before
Yes I've been down that road before
Yes I've been down that road before

"If You Ever Leave Me"

"If You Ever Leave Me"



If you ever leave me
Don't worry at all
If you ever leave me
Just smile when I fall
The world will still be turning
Without you life goes on
And spring will be returning
Each year though your gone
If you ever leave me
I won't show the tear
If you ever leave me
I'll hide all my fears
And even though I try
And still pretend that I
Don't need your warmth
Don't need your touch
Don't want your love
So very much
I know, If you ever leave me
I need your warmth
I need your touch
I want your love
So very much
If you ever leave me
I'll Die

"If You Must Leave My Life"

"If You Must Leave My Life"



Standing in my eyes
You'll always be
The reason
That I know I can't keep you for good
And I'm not even sure that I should

Oh Girl
If you must leave my life
You'll leave me alone
And baby long
Before you leave my life
Be sure to have your own

Somewhere in my mouth
They'll always be
The taste of you
Forever is so very long
I don't want your life to go wrong

So girl
If you must leave my life
Consider every part
And baby long
Before you leave my life
Be sure you have your heart

Now consider every part

Girl be sure to have your heart

Cause if its not there
When you unpack
It may not be here
When you get back

La
La la
La la la
La la la la la la la la

La
La la
La la la
La la la la la la la la

Oh girl
Be sure you have your heart

Oh oh girl
Consider every part
Oh oh girl

"In The Misty Moonlight"

"In The Misty Moonlight"



In the misty moonlight
By the flickering firelight
Any place is alright
As long as I'm with you

In a far away land
By the shifting sea sand
With your hand in my hand
I won't be blue

Way up on the mountains
Or way down in the valley
I know I'll be happy
Any place anywhere
I don't care

In the misty moonlight
By the flickering firelight
Any place is alright
As long as you are there

Even in a far away land
By the shifting sea sand
With your hands in my hand
As long as you are there

Hey Hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I'll be alright
If you'll be there
Say hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Will you be there
Tell me will you be there
Say yeah
Yeah

"It Came Upon A Midnight Clear"

"It Came Upon A Midnight Clear"



It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth goodwill to men
From heavens all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

O ye beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing
Oh rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing

For lo! the days are hastening on
By prophets seen of old
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace, the King
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing

"It Is No Secret (What God Can Do)"

"It Is No Secret (What God Can Do)"



The chimes of time ring out the news
Another day is through
Someone slipped and fell
Was that someone you

You may have longed
For added strength
Your courage to renew
Do not be discouraged
For I bring hope to you

It is no secret
What God can do
What He's done for others
He'll do for you.
With arms wide open
He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do

There is no night
For in His light
You never walk alone
You'll always feel at home
Wherever you may roam

There is no power can conquer you
While God is on your side
Just take Him at His promise
Don't run away and hide

It is no secret
What God can do.
What He's done for others
He'll do for you.
With arms wide open
He'll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do

It is no secret what God can do

"It's Only Love"

"It's Only Love"



I see the sunlight in her hair
I feel the warm smile that she wears
She has no recipe for love
And I just can't get enough
From the distance of my mind
The clock that's ringin' says it's time
To wake up to my destiny
It's time to face reality

It's only love that I feel inside
But I'll get by somehow
It's only love
I never woke up from my dream, girl
I know there's something else for me, girl

I tell myself that it's not real
There's nothing left for me to feel
I'll just be going on my way
Tomorrow brings another day

It's only love that I feel inside
But I've got to be strong
Keep my mind hangin' on
It's only love but I know I'll get by
I'll take my heart and pride and just throw them aside
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love

"It's Sad To Belong"

"It's Sad To Belong"



Met you on a springtime day
You were mindin' your life
And I was mindin' mine too
Lady when you looked my way
I had a strange sensation
And darlin' that's when I knew

That it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along

Oh I wake up in the night
And I reach beside me hopin' you will be there
But instead I find someone
Who believed in me when I said I'd always care

Oh it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along

So I lived my life in a dream world
For the rest of my days
Just you and me walkin' hand in hand
In a wishful memory
Oh I guess that's all that it would ever be

Wish I had a time machine I could
Make myself go back until the day I was born
And I would live my life again
And rearrange it so that I'd be yours from now on

Oh it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along

Oh it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along

Oh it's sad
Oh it's sad
Oh it's sad
Oh it's sad
