"Kickin' Each Other's Hearts Around"

"Kickin' Each Other's Hearts Around"


You called me on the phone
But I hang up on you
Then I called back to apologize
For doing things I do.

You can't understand the things I do
Or things I say
And I can't accept the way you change
From day to day.

So let's stop kickin' each others hearts around
It's not the thing to do
Let's pick them up and dust them off
And start our love anew.

Let's be fair, let's don't dare
Try to hurt the other
Let's stop kickin' our hearts around
And let's love one another.

We've said goodbye a thousand times
Then make up again
Always coming back for more
To see which one will win.

I love you and you love me
In this we can agree
So let's stop kickin' our hearts around
And go on lovingly.

So let's stop kickin' each others hearts around
It's not the thing to do
Let's pick them up and dust them off
And start our love anew.

Let's be fair, let's don't dare
Try to hurt the other
Let's stop kickin' our hearts around
And let's love one another.

So let's stop kickin' each others hearts around
It's not the thing to do
Let's pick them up and dust them off
And start our love anew.

Let's be fair, let's don't dare
Try to hurt the other
Let's stop kickin' our hearts around
And let's love one another.

Let's stop kickin' our hearts around
And let's love one another...

"King Of The Road"

"King Of The Road"


Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah but two hours of pushin' broom
Buys a eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means,
King of the road

Third boxcar midnight train, destination Bangor, Maine
Old worn out suit and shoes, I don't pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies I have found,
Short but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means,
King of the road

I know every engineer on every train
All of their children and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked when no-one's around
I sing

Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah but two hours of pushin' broom
Buys a eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means,
King of the road

"Kiss An Angel Good Morning"

"Kiss An Angel Good Morning"


When ever I chance to meet, some old friends on the street
They wonder how does a man get to feel this way
I've always got a smiling face, anytime & any place
And every time they ask me why I just smile & say

[Chorus:]
You've got to kiss an angel good morning
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good morning
And love her like the devil when you get back home

Well people may try to guess, the secret of my happiness
But some of them never learn it's a simple thing
The secret that I'm speaking of, is a woman & a man in love
And the answer is in this song that I always sing

[Chorus]

"Knock Three Times"

"Knock Three Times"


Hey girl what ya doin' down there
Dancin' alone every night while I live right above you
I can hear your music playin'
I can feel your body swayin'
One floor below me you don't even know me
I love you

Oh my darling
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Oh my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show

If you look out your window tonight
Pull in the string with the note that's attached to my heart
Read how many times I saw you
How in my silence I adored you
Only in my dreams did that wall between us come apart

Oh my darling
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Oh my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show

I can hear your music playin'
I can feel your body swayin'
One floor below me you don't even know me
I love you

Oh my darling
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Oh my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show

"Lara's Theme"

"Lara's Theme"


Somewhere, my love, there will be songs to sing
Although the snow covers the hopes of spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams, all that your heart can hold
Someday we'll meet again, my love
Someday whenever the spring breaks through

You'll come to me out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again

Someday we'll meet again, my love
I said "someday whenever that spring breaks through"

You'll come to me out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, and as soft as the kiss of snow
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again!

"Lay Down Beside Me"

"Lay Down Beside Me"


I've spent my life looking for you
Finding my way wasn't easy to do
But I knew there was you all the while
And it's been worth every mile.

[Chorus:]
So lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin of this world away
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away.

Mornings and evenings all were the same
There was no music till I heard your name
But I knew when I saw you smile
Now I can rest for awhile.

[Chorus:]
So lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin of this world away
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away.

[Instrumental]

Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away...

"Let's Dance"


Hey baby won't you take a chance
Say that you'll let me have this dance
Well let's dance, let's dance.
We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potatoes too
Any old dance that you wanna do
Well let's dance, well let's dance.

Hey baby yeah you thrill the soul
Hold me tight, never let me go
Well let's dance, let's dance.
We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potatoes too
Any old dance that you wanna do
Well let's dance, well let's dance.

Hey baby if you're all alone
Baby you'll let me walk you home
Well let's dance, let's dance.
We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potatoes too
Any old dance that you wanna do
Well let's dance, well let's dance.

Hey baby yeah you swing it right
Yes I know that tonight's the night
Well let's dance, let's dance.
We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potatoes too
Any old dance that you wanna do.

Well let's dance, well let's dance.

"Let's Twist Again"


Come on everybody clap your hands
Now you're looking good
I'm gonna sing my song and you won't take long
We gotta do the twist and it goes like this

"Life To Go"

"Life To Go"


I've had a sad, sad story friends, that I I don't like to tell
I had a home and family, when they locked me in this cell
I've been in here for eighteen years, a long time I know
But time don't mean a thing to me 'cause I've got life to go

When I went one night where the lights were bright to see what I could see
I met up with an old friend there, who just thought the world of me
He brought me drinks and he took me to every honky tonk in town
But words were said and now he's dead, I just had to bring him down

It's been a long time now since I've heard from my wife
I know I'd be there with her yet if I hadn't used the knife
Well, I'll bet that little girl of mine don't realize or know
Her daddy's been here eighteen years and still got life to go

I'll bet there's not one man outside that's spent this long in jail
I'll be in this prison 'till my body's just a shell
No, I can't be free to go and see the ones that I love so
'Cause I've been in here eighteen years and I've still got life to go
'Cause I've been in here eighteen years and I've still got life to go

"Light A Candle"

"Light A Candle"


For the old man who sits staring
Out a frosty window pane
Light a candle
For the woman who is lonely
And every Christmas it's the same
For the children who need
More than presents can bring

[Chorus:]
Light a candle
Light the dark
Light the world
Light a heart or two
Light a candle for me
I'll light a candle for you

Light a candle
For the homeless and the hungry
A little shelter from the cold
Light a candle
For the broken and forgotten
May the season warm their souls
Can we open our hearts
To shine through the dark

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
And in this special time of year
May peace on earth surround us here
And teach us there's a better way to live
Oh, and with every flame that burns
We must somehow learn
That love's the greatest gift
That we could ever give

[Chorus]
