"Let Me Be The Judge"

"Let Me Be The Judge"

Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'll erase you
From my heart and from my mind.

Talk is goin' over town
That you my love
Have let me down
I don't believe what people say.

I still love you.
I don't believe that you're to blame
I don't believe you've brought me shame.
I just can't believe that you have been untrue.

They say I should go on alone
That you've done something very wrong
That you're not worthy of the love I have for you
But I won't believe a thing they say until you say it's true.

Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'd erase you
From my heart and from my mind.

You tell me that the things they say
are true that I should go my way
You ask me to forgive you
For the wrong you've done

You say although you've been untrue
I still mean everything to you
That you only meant to dance
With him and have some fun.

Then the jukebox played our favorite song
You knew that you were doing wrong
You closed your eyes and made believe that I was there
And now you think it's better that we'll end our love affair.

Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'd erase you
From my heart and from my mind...

"Let Me Be There"

"Let Me Be There"

Wherever you go, wherever you may wander in your life
Surely you know I'll always wanna be there
Holding your hand and standin' by to catch you when you fall
Seeing you through in everything you do.

Let me be there in your morning let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonder land that only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there.

Watching you grow going through the changes in your life
That's how I know I'll always wanna be there
Whenever you feel you need a friend to lean on here I am
Whenever you call you know I'll be there.

Let me be there in your morning let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonder land that only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there.

All I ask you is let me be there...

"Let The Pretty Lady Dance"

"Let The Pretty Lady Dance"

Tonight she dances all alone
She sways and the jukebox plays on and on
It's into the music, she's gone

Someone let her down, oh, I understand
Me, I'd be happy just holdin' her hand
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance

Oh, I wonder what I could say
A word to help take the hurt away
I feel what she feels as she sways

Someone let her down, oh, I understand
Me, I'd be happy just holdin' her hand
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance

Her eyes, I see a teardrop fall
Her dream was only a dream, that's all
She turns her face to the wall

Someone let her down, oh, I understand
Me, I'd be happy just holdin' her hand
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance

Lots of things in life break a heart in two
Sometimes just dancin's the best we can do
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance

"Let Your Love Flow"

"Let Your Love Flow"

There's a reason for the sunshine sky
There's a reason why I'm feeling so high
Must be the season when that love light shines all around us
So let that feeling grab you deep inside and send you reeling.
Where your love can't hide and then go stealing.

Through the moonless nights with your lover
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
Let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know
What I mean it's the season.

Yeah let your love fly like a bird on the wing
And let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine and you'll know
What I mean that's the reason.

There's a reason for the warm sweet nights
And there's a reason for the candle lights
Must be the season when those love rites shine all around us
So let the wonder take you into space
And lay you under its loving embrace.

Let feel the thunder as it warms your face you can't hold back
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
Let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know
What I mean it's the season.

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
Let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know
What I mean it's the season...

"Letter"

"Letter"

Today I saw her for the first time since she left me
And she said, I've got a favor to ask of you
And I said all right what is it?

And she said, you know you always told me
If I ever needed any help just to ask you and you'd help me
And I said yeah, I remember, and she said

Well, there's this fellow that I've been going with
And I just found out that he's been slipping around me
And I thought that maybe if you'd write me a letter
And tell me that you miss me and that you still love me.
That he may find it and it might read it.
And it might make him jealous and I might not lose it

And I said, OK I'll write you the letter
Dear sweetheart just a line to let you know
That I still think about you and I still love you so
I remember your kisses and every time you held me tight
But most of all I remember the good times that we had each night
Dear sweetheart if you're lonely just let me know
For you're still my one and only and I still love you so
I'm gonna close for now sweetheart and try to go on without you
But don't forget I'll always love you no matter what you do.

So now I've written the letter the way you've asked me to
And I hope it makes him jealous the way you want it to
For I've told you I still love you and I wanna be with you
But you know sweetheart the saddest part,
I'm not pretending for I still do...

"Letter And A Ring"

"Letter And A Ring"

I came home this morning,
I looked around
I called out to my darling
But not a sound.

And there upon the table
By an old love magazine
Was a letter from my baby
And a golden wedding ring.

The table told a story,
I can't forget
A half a cup of coffee
And a half smoked cigarette.

I could see she'd waited,
Hoping I'd come home
But some coffee and the cigarette
Told me that she was gone.

I opened up the letter
And read the tear-stained lines
My world for me was ending
Right before my eyes.

She said, "I set you free now
Go long and have your fling."
And all my baby left me
Was a letter and a ring.

(Was a letter and a ring)...

"Life Turned Her That Way"

"Life Turned Her That Way"

If she seems cold and bitter
I beg of you stop and consider all she's been through
Don't be quick to condemn her for things she might say
Oh don't blame her, life turned her that way.

She's been walked on and stepped on so many times
And I hate to admit it but that last footprint's mine
She was crying when I met her, she cries harder today
Oh, don't blame her, life turned her that way.

She's been walked on and stepped on so many times
And I hate to admit it but that last footprint's mine
She was crying when I met her, she cries harder today
Oh, don't blame her, life turned her that way.

Oh, don't blame her, life turned her that way...

"Life's Too Short (No Matter How Long It Lasts)"

"Life's Too Short (No Matter How Long It Lasts)"

Big brother had a treehouse club when he was only ten
I didn't know the secret code, so they wouldn't let me in
They told me I was much too young for the kind of games they played
I remember, I would sit and cry, wishin' I was twice my age.

My grandpa was the only one with a sympathetic ear
Patiently, he'd comfort me when I was close to tears
And I'd say gramps, why does it take so long for time to pass
And he'd say, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.

Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.

At twenty-one, they called me home, cause Grandpa's time was near
We gathered 'round his bedside, fighting back the tears
I said, Grandpa, we can't let you go, even though you're ninety-three
He said, I'd love to stay, but it ain't up to me.

And then, we heard him whisper in a voice that was fading fast
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.

Today my little grandson came and climbed up on my knee
He said, why can't I be all grown up, instead of only three
And then, those old familiar words came tumbling from the past
And, I said, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.

Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.

Life's much too short, no matter how long it lasts...

"Lifetime Before"

"Lifetime Before"

We've lived more in a short time together
Than we've lived in a lifetime before
And this feeling that's burning inside me
Is a thing of the future in store.

The short time we've spent together
Oh, the love we give each other
Is more than most people see in the lifetime
You're all I ever live for.

Oh, no one could ever give more
I can't see me without you
Nowhere in my mind.

We've lived more in a short time together
Than we've lived in a lifetime before
And this feeling that's burning inside me
Is a thing of the future in store...

"Linda On My Mind"

"Linda On My Mind"

Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind
And Lord it's killing me to see her crying
She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind.

Yes I know that I once loved her
And I placed no one above her
And I never thought I'd ever set her free
But it just wasn't in my plan
The way Linda squeezed my hand
The first time that I held her close as she danced with me.

She said I've loved you for a long time
But you're married to a friend of mine
And I tried hard to never let it show
But my love for you is stronger
I can't hide it any longer
And so I thought I'd better let you know.

Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind
And Lord it's killing me to see her crying
She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind...
