"Sentimental Journey"
(originally by Doris Day)

"Sentimental Journey"
(originally by Doris Day)



Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories

Got my bag, got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
Long to hear that "All aboard!"

Seven - that's the time we leave, at seven
I'll be waitin' up for heaven
Countin' every mile of railroad track
That takes me back

Never thought my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam?
Gotta take that sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home

Sentimental journey...

"Shadow Of A Distant Friend"

"Shadow Of A Distant Friend"


Like a muddy river runnin' wild and deep
You've got a flaming memory that keeps burning me
Just when I think you love me, doubt creeps in
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.

It's a major heartache when you lose your trust
Then the love you're feelin' begins to rust
Just when the sun is shinin', doubt creeps in
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.

I still feel the past each time you touch me
Will that fire in your mind ever end
I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes
'Cause, I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.

You know, I really love you, but your heart's confused
By that achin' fever that keeps haunting you
Just when I think it's over, it starts again
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.

I still feel the past each time you touch me
Will that fire in your mind ever end
I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes
'Cause, I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.

Yeah, I still feel the shadow of your distant friend...

"She Can Only See The Good In Me"

"She Can Only See The Good In Me"


She wants the world to know she loves me so
My woman can only see the good in me

She never had a thing she needed just enough to get by
And many times I've done her wrong late at night I've hurt her pride
She don't complain at the bad she's had and the things that used to be
She wants the world to know she loves me so
My woman can only see the good in me

She soon forgets the many times I've hurt her
And accepts me for what I am not for what I should be
And through all the bad she's had she just lives for me to love her
And she can only see the good in me

Where did love come from why does it stay how can she go on this way
What happened to all the dreams I had for her just yesterday
It's not her fault they didn't work out all my dreams were fantasy
Still by my side she walks with pride and she can only see the good in me
My woman can only see the good in me

"She Did"

"She Did"


From the day she said "I do" to me, she did.
Promised me that she'd be true and she did.
But I kept giving in to sin. I always let temptation win.
Who forgave time and again? she did.

Who used to pray I'd change my ways? she did.
Spent years of empty nights and days, she did.
If anyone had a care for me, if anyone ever cried for me,
If anyone had a right to leave, she did.

I guess she finally had enough
Because she found someone else
To love and nothing I could do could make her stay.
If I'd been the man I should have been
She never would have wanted him.
She wouldn't be there standing in that wedding dress today.

But he asked her to say "I do", and she did.
Promised him that she'd be true, and she is.
And look who's falling all apart
The one who caused it from the start.

Never thought she'd break my heart but she did.
And look who's falling all apart
The one who caused it from the start.
Never thought she'd break my heart, but she did...

"She Did-It Did-I Didn't"

"She Did-It Did-I Didn't"


And she did and it did and Lord knows
I didn't and I know I'll never again

She left me somewhere between it's over and the end
With more than an effort to destroy any man.
There'll never be another to share the love that live
'Cause her leaving left me no love to give

I knew if she left me it would surely destroy me
I'll never forget her for the love we had then
And she did and it did and Lord knows
I didn't and I know I'll never again.

I knew if she left me it would surely destroy me
I'll never forget her for the love we had then
And she did and it did and Lord knows
I didn't and I know I'll never again...

"She Fights That Lovin' Feeling"

"She Fights That Lovin' Feeling"


She is filled with mixed emotions
from a need that keeps messin' up
her mind and she fights the gentle
pleasures That keep pullin' on her
heart strings all the time.

She does fine until somebody's touch
wakes the sleeping passions inside of
her and she fights that lovin' feeling
But I am gonna love the fight right out of her.

She was turned into a woman by a man and
her love for him was strong then the love
she knew was shattered when she woke up
one day and found him gone but the craving
for somebody's love is still ever present in her world.

And she fights that lovin' feeling
But I'm gonna love the fight right out of her.

It's so hard for her not to act like a woman
When all her lovin' feelings begin to stir
She prays for the love she remembers.

And she fights that lovin' feeling
But I'm gonna love the fight right out of her.

Yes, she fights that lovin' feeling
But I'm gonna love the fight right out of her.

"She Knows What She's Crying About"

"She Knows What She's Crying About"


You may think she's not been true
All those things she's telling you
But believe me, what she says is really true
'Cause I'm the one who left her there
I'm the one who didn't care
And she knows what she's crying about.

She knows what she's crying about.
She bears the flame though,
I'm to blame there's no doubt
I never even tried to say or accept the love she gave
And she knows what she's crying about.

She gave me her very best
I was wrong to give the rest
All the love that she so desperately tried to hold
I made her shed a million tears
All I did was waste her years
And she knows what she's crying about.

She knows what she's crying about.
She bears the flame though,
I'm to blame there's no doubt
I never even tried to say or accept the love she gave
And she knows what she's crying about...
