Just To Be Loved By You

Just To Be Loved By You

Yes it's true that I've known other but I didn't know back then
A man could ever want the way I do
And the life I used to lead was before I found the need just to be loved by you
Ever since the day I found you I have felt deep down inside
I just been marking time my whole life through
And what life there's left to live darling I would gladly give just to be loved by you
I would climb the highest mountain and swim the deepest sea
Oh there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
If it brought you happiness I'd give all that I possess just to be loved by you
Just to be loved by you

Kaw-liga

Kaw-liga

Kaw-Liga, the wooden Indian standin' by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store
Kaw-Liga, well, he just stood there and never let it show
Aww, she could never answer yes or no

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga well he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga, well, he stood there as lonely as can be
Cause his heart was an ol' pine knoty tree, tree, tree

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga well he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head

And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
He took her, oh, so far away but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed
Kaw-Liga, well he stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no, no, no, no

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga well he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head

Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'

Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'

Whenever I chance to meet some old friends on the street
They wonder how does a man get to be this way
I've always got a smilin' face any time and any place
And everytime they ask me why I just smile and say
You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin' and love her like a devil when you get back home

Well people may try to guess the secret of happiness
But some of them never learn it's a simple thing
The secret I'm speaking of is a woman and a man in love
And the answer is in the song that I always sing
You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'...
Kiss an angel good mornin'...

Last Thing On My Mind

Last Thing On My Mind

A lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning
In your hand, in your hand

Are you going away with no word of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Well, I could've loved you better didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

As I walk alone my thoughts are tumbling
Round and round, round and round
Underneath our feet a subway's rumbling
Underground, underground

Are you going away?

You got reasons of plenty for going
This I know this I know
The weeds have been steadily growing
Please don't go please don't go

Are you going away?

You know that was the last thing on my mind

Let Me Help You Work It Out

Let Me Help You Work It Out

There is something in your heart weighing heavy on your mind
You need gentle arms to hold you like these gentle arms of mine
You need love and understanding and the shoulder you can cry on
You need someone to rely on you don't have to be alone
Let me help you work it out help you face the situation

Count on me for consolation let me help you work it out
[ piano ]
Let me help you work it out I'm the one who'll always care
When you need me I'll be there let me help you work it out
Let me help you work it out...

Let Me Live

Let Me Live

Let me live again
Let me live again

A little taste of heaven that I had before
Was just enough to keep me coming back for more
After loving you, losing you was more than I could stand
Now I'm the ghost of what was once a man

Let me live again, let me live again
Reach into my heart and light the light of love again
Let me see the sun let this darkness end
Take me back into your arms and let me live again

It would have been much better that we never met
An angel's love like yours is too much to forget
I can't help myself 'cause I can't be stronger than I am
I'm just the ghost of what was once a man

Let me live again, let me live again
Reach into my heart and light the light of love again
Let me see the sun let this darkness end
Take me back into your arms and let me live again

Let The Chips Fall

Let The Chips Fall
I'm finding that I'm spending most of my time
Wondering where she goes the rest of the time
But tonight I will find out for once and for all
Tonight I will follow her and let the chips fall

So let the chips fall, let them fall where they may
My moment of truth is fast on its way
Soon I will know for once and for all
So I'll just cross my fingers and let the chips fall

The life that I'm living is just half a life
The girl that I married is just half a wife
But my life without her would be no life at all
Still I must know the truth, so let the chips fall

Let the chips fall, let them fall where they may
I'm ashamed of this game but there's no other way
I must hold her hand, a man cannot crawl
So put the cards on the table and let the chips fall

Life Turned Her That Way

Life Turned Her That Way

If she seems cold and bitter I beg of you
Just stop and consider all she's been through
Don't be quick to condemn her for things she might say
Just remember life turned her that way
She's been walked on and stepped on so many times

And I hate to admit it but the last footprint's mine
She was crying when I met her she cries harder today
So don't blame her life turned her that way
[ piano ]
She's been walked on...

Little Folks

Little Folks

We've decided we can't work it out we might as well call it a day
We agree to disagree and go our seperate ways
We just don't seem to get along we're fightin' and we fuss
So we've agreed to part as friends is best for both of us.
But what's gonna happen to the little folks the little folks the little folks
What's gonna happen to the little folks who live in our house

Since we've decided we can't work it out we might as well ended this time
We fought enough and fussed enough and said too much this time
So we've agreed that the thing to do has set each other free
You'll go your way and I'll go mine that's best for you and me
But what's gonna happen to the little folks...

But maybe someday we'll look back and see how foolish we've been
Cause we might find just the little ones who'd lose in the end
But maybe things are not so bad, we're still in love you and I
And maybe we can work it out if we give it one more try
We owe that much to the little folks, the little folks the little folks
We owe that much to the little folks who live in our house
