"But You Know I Love You"

"But You Know I Love You"



When the morning sun streaks across my room
And I'm wakened up from another dream of you
Yes, I'm on the road once again it seems
All that's left behind is a chain of broken dreams.

But you know I love you, yes I love you, oh I love you.

How I wish that love was all we'd need to live
Oh, what a life we'd have 'cause I've got so much to give
And it seems so wrong deep inside my heart
That the dollar sign should be keeping us apart.

But you know I love you, yes I love you, oh I love you.

And if only I could find my way back to the time
When the problems of this life had not yet crossed my mind
For the answer could be found in children's nursery rhymes
I'd come running back to you, I'd come running back to you.

Though you know we can't live on dreams alone
And to pay the rent I must leave you all alone
You know I made my choice many years ago
Now this traveling life is the only one I know.

But you know I love you, yes I love you, oh I love you.
But you know I love you, yes I love you, oh I love you.
But you know I love you, yes I love you, oh I love you.
But you know I love you, yes I love you, oh I love you...

"Cadillac Lane"

"Cadillac Lane"


I wish I was a rich man a livin' on Cadillac Lane
And I'd tour the world in a great big shiny plane
I'd go to all the famous places like Italy, Rome and Spain
If I was a rich man a livin' on Cadillac Lane.

I wish I was a rich man a livin' on Cadillac Lane
I'd had my own private car on some big railroad train
I'd never have to work again for the doggone thing
If I was a rich man a livin' on Cadillac Lane.

[Instrumental]

Well, there's a lotta rich people livin' on Cadillac Lane
Eatin' caviar and a drinkin' pink champagne
But I've got your love and to me that's everything
And I'm not so sure about the people on Cadillac Lane.

I wish I was a rich man a livin' on Cadillac Lane
I'd had my own private car on some big railroad train
I'd never have to work again for the doggone thing
If I was a rich man a livin' on Cadillac Lane.

But who needs to be a rich man a livin' on Cadillac Lane?

"Catch The Wind"

"Catch The Wind"



In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainty
I wanna be in the warm hold of your loving mind
To feel you all around me and to take your hand along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

When sundown pales the sky
I wanna ride a while behind your smile
And everywhere I look, your eyes I'd find
For me to love you more would be the sweetest thing
Would make me sing
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near to kill my fears
And help me leave all my blues behind me
Standing in your heart is where I wanna be and long to be
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

"Charlie Brown"

"Charlie Brown"


Fe fe fi fi fo fo fum
I smell smoke in the auditorium

Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown,
He's a clown that Charlie Brown
He's gonna get caught
Just you wait and see
(Why's everybody always pickin' on me?)

That's him on his knees
I know that's him
Yelling seven come eleven
Down in the boys gym.

Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown,
He's a clown that Charlie Brown
He's gonna get caught
Just you wait and see
(Why's everybody always pickin' on me?)

Who's always writin' on the wall
Who's always goofin' in the hall
Who's always throwin' spit balls
Yeah, who (who me) yeah, you

Walked in the classroom cool and slow
Who called the English teacher Daddy-o

Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown,
He's a clown that Charlie Brown
He's gonna get caught
Just you wait and see
(Why's everybody always pickin' on me?)

[Instrumental]

Who's always writin' on the wall
Who's always goofin' in the hall
Who's always throwin' spit balls
Yeah, who (who me) yeah, you

Walked in the classroom cool and slow
Who called the English teacher Daddy-o

Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown,
He's a clown that Charlie Brown
He's gonna get caught
Just you wait and see
(Why's everybody always pickin' on me?)..

"Christmas Ain't Christmas Dear Without You"

"Christmas Ain't Christmas Dear Without You"


I heard no Christmas carols
As I walked down the street
I heard no Merry Christmas
From people I'd meet
It seemed you've made
The whole world blue
Christmas ain't Christmas
Dear, without you

I talked to a snowman
And to my surprise
When I spoke of you
He started to cry
Now that's pretty sad
To see a snowman
Turn blue
Christmas ain't Christmas
Dear, without you

[Instrumental]

No Christmas ain't Christmas
Since you went away
And now it seems like
Just any other day
Yes, you turned
My whole world blue
Christmas ain't Christmas
Dear, without you...

"Christmas Shopping"

"Christmas Shopping"



I got ten toy soldiers for Billy Joe
I got coloring book for Sue
I got a little toy train for Danny boy
And a cowboy suit for Lou
I got a talkin' baby doll for Cindy
I got a pair o'roller skates for Jane
And baby if we ever have any more kids
Christmas shoppin's gonna drive me insane

Gonna go this Christmas shopping
Well, I wonder if I'll ever get through
I tried to get everybody somethin' that they wanted
But I didn't know what to get you
I read the kids letters to Santa Claus
I read 'em over one by one
And I surely like to get my hands on the fella that said Christmas shoppin's fun

I got ten toy soldiers for Billy Joe
I got a coloring book for Sue
I got a little toy train for Danny boy
And a cowboy suit for Lou
I got a talkin' baby doll for Cindy
I got a pair o'roller skates for Jane
And baby if we ever have any more kids
Christmas shoppin's gonna drive me insane

Well, I must've walked a hundred miles or more
I went to every store in town
My feet started swellin' and my head started achin'
And I couldn't find a place to sit down
But to tell you the truth well, I really don't mind it
I could even walk another mile
'Cause on Christmas mornin'
When they open up the presents
Well it's worth it just to see them smile

I got ten toy soldiers for Billy Joe
I got coloring book for Sue
I got a little toy train for Danny boy
And a cowboy suit for Lou
I got a talkin' baby doll for Cindy
I got a pair o'roller skates for Jane
And baby if we ever have any more kids
Christmas shoppin's gonna drive me insane...

"Christmas Time Is Near"

"Christmas Time Is Near"


Snow flakes falling on the ground
Mistletoe hangs all around
Last minute shoppers everywhere
Christmas spirit fills the air

Happy little girls and boys
Windows filled with Christmas toys
It's that special time of year
Oh, Christmas time is here

Kiddy's being extra nice
Take their moms and dads advice, because
If they're good the way they should
They'll get an extra gift from Santa Claus

Sleigh bells ringing here and there
Christmas carols everywhere
It's that special time of year
Oh, Christmas time is here

[Instrumental]

"Cigareets Whusky And Wild Wild Women"

"Cigareets Whusky And Wild Wild Women"


Once I was happy and had a good wife
I had enough money to last me for life
I met with a gal and we went on a spree
She taught me to smoke and drink whusky.

[Chorus:]
Cigarettes, whusky and wild, wild women
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane
Cigarettes, whusky and wild, wild women
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane.

Now I am feeble and broken with age
The lines on my face make a well written page
I'm leaving this story how sad but how true
On women and whusky and what they will do.

[Chorus]

Write on the cross at the head of my grave
"For women and whusky here lies a poor slave"
Take warning, dear stranger, take warning, dear friend
Then write in big letters these words at the end.

[Chorus]

"Cinderella"

"Cinderella"


So you've found your Prince Charming
Was just a dream
There wasn't any Palace
And you weren't a Queen
In your faded cotton dresses
Anyone could see
But you're still Cinderella to me

Cinderella, Cinderella
This is not the way love should be
Cinderella, Cinderella
Won't you let me take you home with me

[Instrumental]

Our honeymoon may not be a fancy ball
You may not have a maid
And butler at your call
But I'll be more than any prince
Could ever be
And you'll be Cinderella to me

Cinderella, Cinderella
This is not the way love should be
Cinderella, Cinderella
Won't you let me take you home with me...
