"Heartbeat"

"Heartbeat"


Heartbeat
Why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat
Why does a love kiss stay in my memory?

Piddle-dee-pat
I know that new love thrills me
I know that true love will be

Heartbeat
Why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat
Why do you skip when my baby's lips meet mine?

Heartbeat
Why do you flip then give me a skip beat sign?

Piddle-dee-pat
And sing to me love stories
And bring to me love's glories

Heartbeat
Why do you miss when my baby kisses me?

"Heaven Around Galway Bay"

"Heaven Around Galway Bay"


When they told me that Ireland was heaven
I said, that's where I'm longing to stay
Then an emigrant voice said, "That's my land
If you please sir, I'll show you the way"

You will see smiling faces that greet you
With a, "Cead Mile Failte" at store
And the candle burns bright in the window
Of a cabin with only one door

When you see the moon rise over Gladdagh
And the golden sand kisses the sea
Then you're on the right road sir for heaven
For it's heaven around Galway bay

In the church on the hill in the moonlight
You can hear a sweet angel voice sing
It's the angel who's heart I may gladden
When I give her my gold Gladdah ring

And the darling who smiles so divinely
At the sound of the bell stops to pray
Just you turn and say, "God let she kindly"
And to heaven she'll show you the way

"Hello Darlin'"

"Hello Darlin'"


Hello darlin' nice to see you it's been a long time
You're just as lovely as you used to be
How's your new love are you happy hope you're doing fine
Just to know it means so much to me

What's that darlin' how'm I doing guess I'm doing all right
Except I can't sleep and I cry all night till dawn
What I'm trying to say is I love you and I miss you
And I'm so sorry that I did you wrong

Look up darlin' let me kiss you just for old time sake
Let me hold you in my arms one more time
Thank you darlin' may God bless you and may each step you take
Bring you closer to the things you seek to find

Goodbye darlin' gotta go now gotta try to find a way
To lose these mem'ries of a love so warm and true
And if you should ever find it in your heart to forgive me
Come back darlin' I'll be waiting for you

"Hello Mary Lou"

"Hello Mary Lou"


You passed me by one sunny day
Flashed those big brown eyes my way
And ooh, I wanted you forever more

Now I'm not one that gets around
I swear my feet stuck to the ground
And though I never did meet you before

I said, "Hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou
I'm so in love with you"

I knew Mary Lou
We'd never part
So, "Hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart"

I saw your lips, I heard your voice
Believe me I just had no choice
Wild horses couldn't make me stay away

I thought about a moonlit night
My arms about good an' tight
That's all I had to see for me to say

I said, "Hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou
I'm so in love with you"

I knew Mary Lou
We'd never part
So, "Hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart"

"Help Me Make It Through The Night"

"Help Me Make It Through The Night"


Take the ribbon from your hair, Shake it loose and let it fall,
Lay it soft against my skin. Like the shadows on the wall.

Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All I'm takin' is your time. Help me make it through the night.

I don't care what's right or wrong, I won't try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow 'cause tonight I need a friend.

Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone. Help me make it through the night.

I don't care what's right or wrong,I won't try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow for tonight I need a friend.

Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone. Help me make it through the night.

I don't wanna be alone. Help me make it through the night.

"Here At The Grand Ole Opry"

"Here At The Grand Ole Opry"


Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one who ever made me care

I can't stand to think that I might be alone
Not alone again, not the way it was back then
Before you walked into my heart
And told me we would never part
So stand beside me
Don't ever let me be alone again

Stand beside me, stand beside me
For if I should lose you, I just couldn't get anywhere
Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one who ever made me care.

Ah, there'll be times when everything goes wrong
But darling, I won't care, if I know you're standing there
No matter what we have to do
Together we can see it through
So stand beside me
And I'll be standing right there next to you

Stand beside me, stand beside me
For if I should lose you, I just couldn't get anywhere
Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one who ever made me care.

"Here I Am Lord"

"Here I Am Lord"


I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in dark and sin
My hand will save.

I who made the stars and night
I will make the darkness bright
Who will bear my light to them
Whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord
Is it I Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night
I will go Lord
If you lead me
I will hold your people in my heart.

I the Lord of snow and rain
I have borne my people's pain
I have wept for love of them
They turn away.

I will break their hearts of stone
Fill their hearts with love alone
I will speak my word to them
Whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord
Is it I Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night
I will go Lord
If you lead me
I will hold your people in my heart.

I will hold your people in my heart...

"Highway 40 Blues"

"Highway 40 Blues"


These Highway 40 blues
I've walked holes in both my shoes
Counted the days since I've been gone
And I'd love to see the lights of home

Wasted time and money too
Squandered youth in search of truth
But in the end I had to lose
Lord above, I've paid my dues
Got the Highway 40 blues

The highway called when I was young
Told me lies of things to come
Fame and fortune lies ahead
It's what the billboard lights had said

Shattered dreams, my mind is numb
My money's gone, stick out my thumb
My eyes are filled with bitter tears
Lord, I ain't been home in years
Got the Highway 40 blues

You know, I've rambled all around
Like a rolling stone from town to town
Met pretty girls I have to say
But none of them could make me stay

I've played the music halls and bars
Had fancy clothes and big fine cars
Things a country boy can't use
Dixieland I sure miss you
Got the Highway 40 blues

"Home Is Where The Heart Is"

"Home Is Where The Heart Is"


As the raindrops are falling
I can hear your voice calling,
Calling me back once again.

I've been away for too long
But now I'm comming home,
Back to your loving arms again.

I miss the countryside so fair
And the good folk that live there,
I've missed your tender kisses and your smile.

Now I'm not too far away,
I'm comming home today,
And soon my feet will touch my native soil.

And we'll do all the old things that we've always done
Dancing, romancing, together as one

Home is where the heart is and my heart's with you
No matter where I travel I'm comming home to you.

The taxi cab is waiting
As I stepped out off the plane
'Cos I can't can't wait to catch the morning train

For now I'm returning
Where the home-fire's always burning
To the one I love who's waiting there for me.

And we'll do all the old things that we've always done
Dancing, romancing, together as one
Home is where the heart is and my heart's with you
No matter where I travel I'm comming home to you.

Home is where the eart is and my heart's with you
No matter where I travel I'm comming home to you

"Home To Donegal"

"Home To Donegal"


The lights of London, are far behind
The thoughts of homeland are crowding my mind
Familiar places, come in to view
I see my home now, soon I'll see you.

We'll talk to the old folk, they're getting on
Treat them to late nights, sing a few songs
We'll talk of the neighbours and life in the town
There's so much to tell them, the days fly around.

[Chorus:]
This is my homeland, the place I was born in
No matter where I go it's in my soul
My feet may wander a thousand places
But my heart will lead me back home to my Donegal.

[Instrumental]

And then tomorrow we'll take a walk
Down to St. Marys to a sheltered spot
We'll kneel and pray there for the ones that're gone
And hope they're proud of, their wandering son.

[Chorus:]
This is my homeland, the place I was born in
No matter where I go it's in my soul
My feet may wander a thousand places
But my heart will lead me back home to my Donegal.

This is my homeland, the place I was born in
No matter where I go it's in my soul
My feet may wander a thousand places
But my heart will lead me back home to my Donegal.

Yes, my heart will lead me back home to my Donegal...
