"Wherever You May Be"

"Wherever You May Be"


As simple as breathing
I picture your face,
All tangled in daydreams
And shielded with grace.

I feel you beside me.

Wherever you may be
Lift up your hand for me.
There's somewhere in my heart
Only for you.

If I must do without
I'll let these sparks fly out
Across the wilderness
From me to you.

As certain as sunrise
Your image unwinds.
You're clearer than crystal.
You fill up my mind.

Now I have you by my side.

Wherever you may be
Lift up your hand for me.
There's somewhere in my heart
Only for you.

Though Continents devide,
And lonely thoughts collide
Our heaven will allow no distance now.

I can always close my eyes
Take your absence by surprise,
Hold my breath and make believe.

As simple as breathing
I picture your face,
All tangled in daydreams
And sheilded with grace.

There's somewhere in my heart only for you.

If I must do without
I'll let these sparks fly out
Across this wilderness
From me to you.

Wherever you may be
Lift up your hand for me.
There's somewhere in my heart only for you.

"Who But A Fool (Thief Into Paradise)"

"Who But A Fool (Thief Into Paradise)"


Paradise
I got man who loves me
In his life
He puts no one else above me
It's paradise
With everything I ever wanted
Paradise
It's just like love should be

Now you're a thief
Everybody I know knows it
You're indiscreet
Anybody on the street knows
That you cheat
The damage that you're doin doesn't
Cross your mind
Steal the heart just like a thief

[Chorus]
Who, but a fool lets a thief into paradise
Tell me, tell me, tell me who
Who, but a fool lets a thief into paradise
Tell me, tell me
Who, but a fool lets a thief into paradise
Who, but a fool lets a thief into paradise
Who, but a fool lets a thief into paradise

You got me
Thinkin I want what you're givin
You got me
Wonderin what I'm missin
I can see
It's the same old fascination
What a deadly game
That sends them all right into your flame

[Chorus]

"Will The Sun Ever Shine Again"

"Will The Sun Ever Shine Again"


Rain is pourin' down like the
Heavens are hurtin'.
Seems like it's been dark since
The devil knows when.
How do you go on, never knowin'
For certain,
Will the sun ever shine again?

Feels like it's been years since
It started to thunder.
Clouds are campin' out in the valley
And glen.
How do you go on, when you can't help
But wonder.
Will the sun ever shine again?

What if the rain keeps fallin'?
What if the sky stays gray?
What if the winds keep squallin',
And never go away?

Maybe soon the storm will be
Tired of blowin'.
Maybe soon it all will be over, amen.
How do you go on, if there's no way
Of knowin'?
Will the sun ever shine?
Wish I could say.
Send me a sign-
One little ray.
Lord, if you're list'nin', how long
Until then?
Will the sun ever shine again?

"Women Be Wise"

"Women Be Wise"


Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man
Don't sit around gossiping, explaining what your good man really can do
Some women nowadays, Lord they ain't no good
They will laugh in your face, Then try to steal your man from you
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man

Your best girlfriend, she might be a highbrow, she changes clothes 3 times a day
What do you think she's doing now, while you're so far away
She's loving your man in your own damn bed
You better call for the doctor, mama, try to investigate your head
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man

Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man
Don't sit around, girl, telling all your secrets,
Telling all those good things he really can do
If you talk about your baby, you tell me he's so fine
Lord honey, I just might sneek up and try to make him mine
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man

Don't be no fool, don't advertise your man (baby don't do it)

"Wounded Heart"

"Wounded Heart"


Wounded heart I cannot save you from yourself
Though I wanted to be brave, it never helped.
'Cause your trouble's like a flood raging through your veins
No amount of love's enough to end the pain

Tenderness and time can heal a right gone wrong,
But the anger that you feel goes on and on.
And it's not enough to know that I love you still
So I'll take my heart and go for I've had my fill

[Instrumental break]

If you listen you can hear the angel's wings
Up above our heads so near they are hovering
Waiting to reach out for love when it falls apart
When it cannot rise above a wounded heart.

When it cannot rise above a wounded heart.

"Write Me A Few Of Your Lines / Kokomo Blues"

"Write Me A Few Of Your Lines / Kokomo Blues"


When you get home baby
Write me a few of your lines
When you get home little baby
Write me a few of your lines
That'll be consolation
Lord honey oh my worried mind

Left my baby
Standin' in the backdoor cryin'
Well I left my little baby
Standing in the backdoor cryin'
I never felt so sorry
Lord honey till he said goodbye

Kokomo me baby
Kokomo me right
Kokomo your mama,
She'll be back tomorrow night
I'd like to cry in your arms tonight
Baby don't you wanna go?
Right on to lemon light city
Sweet home kokomo

Go on down to the river baby
Goin' to sit down on the ground
Well I'm goin' down to the river baby
Goin' to sit down on the ground
And let the way of the water
Lord honey wash my troubles down

Kokomo me baby
Kokomo me right
Kokomo your mama,
She'll be back tomorrow night
I gotta cry with you baby
Baby don't you wanna go?
Right on to lemon light city
Sweet home kokomo

"You"

"You"


Nobody else could make me happy
No one could hurt me like you do
You were the only one That mattered

Then you were gone...Love had moved on
Left me alone thinking of...

You...There was never any other
You...and I were created to be true

Isn't it Love that keeps us breathing
Isn't it love we're sent here for
Wasn't that love that we were feeling
(That was something baby)

Deep in our soul...Deeper than we know
Keeping me holding out for

You...There was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind

You and I, we were meant to be together
True hearts in a world where love is dyin'

And I might as well have been dyin' when
We were apart
When you came back I felt the beating of my heart

You...There was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind
You and I, we were meant to be together
You...and only you

It was you...only you
You...Always you

"You Can't Fail Me Now"

"You Can't Fail Me Now"


I know that fan is moving air, I can see it in your hair
But I can't bear to breathe it in somehow
I'll rise and fall with you 'cause you can't fail me now
I'll rise and fall with you 'cause you can't fail me now

Salt is sweet upon my mouth
And dark throws sparks against my house
The state of love is a smudge upon my brow
But you see through me and you can't fail me now
You see right through me, you can't fail me now

I've bit off more than I can chew
It's something that I tend to do
When fewer words are what we need and how
You bite my tongue and you can't fail me now
I rant and rail but you can't fail me now

I've lost the thread among the vines
And hung myself in storylines
That tell the tales I never would allow
God knows the name of every bird
That fills my mind like angry words
But you know all my secret heart avows

We're taught to love the worst of us
And mercy more than life but trust me
Mercy's just a warning shot across the bow
I live for yours and you can't fail me now
I live for your mercy, you can't fail me now
You can't fail me now
