"Only Sixteen"

"Only Sixteen"


She was only sixteen, only sixteen
I loved her so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

We'd laugh and we'd sing
And do the little things
That made my heart glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

Why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
With eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

(Then why did you give your heart so fast)
Oh, it never will happen again
(But you were a mere lad of sixteen)
I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
With eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

"Panis Angelicus"

"Panis Angelicus"


Heavenly bread that becomes the bread for all mankind
Bread from the angelic host that is the end of all imaginings
O miraculous thing, this body of God will nourish
Even the poorest, the most humble of servants
Even the poorest, the most humble of servants

Thee we implore, O God, One in Three
So may Thou visit us as we now worship Thee
And lead us on Thy way that we at last may see
The light wherein Thou dwellest
The light wherein thou dwellest

"Peace In The Valley"

"Peace In The Valley"


Oh well I'm tired and so weary but I must go along
Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away
Well the mornings so bright and the land is the light
And the night, night is as black as the sea

There will be peace in the valley for me someday
There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray
There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me.

Well the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame

And the lion shall lay down by the lamb
And the beasts from the wild shall be led by a child
And I'll be changed from this creature that I am

There will be peace in the valley for me someday
There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray
There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me.

"Poetry In Motion"

"Poetry In Motion"


When I see my baby
What do I see
Poetry, poetry in motion

Poetry in motion walking by my side
Her lovely locomotion
Keeps my eyes open wide
Poetry in motion see her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way

I love every movement
There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange

Poetry in motion dancing close to me
A flower of devotion for all the world to see

Oh-awoh-woh-woh-woh-woh
Awoh-woh-woh-woh-woh
Awoh-woh-woh-woh-woh
Awoh
Poetry in motion see her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way

I love every movement
There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange

Poetry in motion all that I adore
No number nine love potion
Could make me love her more

Woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh
Woh-woh-woh-woh-woh

"Praying"

"Praying"


Not long ago I was thinking of home
And I wondered if Mama was there all alone
I thought I'd drop by as I'd done before
But the sound from within made me stop at the door

She was praying
A sound that the world seldom hears
Praying, her words were pleading and cear
The sound of her vioce as she spoke my name
Brought tears to my eyes, My heart filled with shame
Praying, praying for someone like me

I was walking one night and I felt so alone
My heart was weary from the trouble I'd known
I hadn't noticed a church that was near
Till the sound from within seemed to fill the air

They were praying
A sound that the world seldom hears
Praying, the children that God loves so dear
Outside in the darkness I could not see
But I could picture them down on their knees
Praying, praying for someone like me
Praying, praying for someone like me

"Pretty Little Girl From Omagh"

"Pretty Little Girl From Omagh"


Way up in the north in old Tyrone
There's a pretty little girl I call my own
She's the sweetest rose Ireland's ever grown
And sure as the moon and stars above
I'm falling head over heels in love
With a pretty little girl from Omagh
In the county of Tyrone.

There's cute little girls in old Strabane
They're just as pretty in Monaghan
This to every roving eye is known
But I guess that I'd be out of bounds
'Cos there between the northern towns
There's a pretty little girl from Omagh
In the county of Tyrone.

She wears my ring and tells her friends
She going to marry me
Best of all she tells them all
She's happy as can be,
Oh lucky me.

Well I don't know what she's done to me
There's nothing else my eyes can see
My pretty little girl from Omagh
In the county of Tyrone.

[Instrumental]

T'was down in south in old Tramore
I recall the yellow dress she wore
She strolled along the shore there all alone
But I guess it was my lucky day
When she came there on holiday
My pretty little girl from Omagh
In the county of Tyrone.

She wears my ring and tells her friends
She's going to marry me
Best of all she tells them all
She's happy as can be
Oh lucky me

Well, I don't know what she's done to me
There's nothing else my eyes can see
My pretty little girl from Omagh
In the county of Tyrone.

My pretty little girl from Omagh
In the county of Tyrone...

"Pretty Paper"

"Pretty Paper"


Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him by

Should you stop?, better not, much too busy
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
In the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

"Put Your Hand In The Hand"

"Put Your Hand In The Hand"


Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea

Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee

My momma taught me how to pray
Before I reached the age of seven
When I'm down on my knees
That's when I'm closest to heaven

Daddy lived his life, two kids and a wife
Well you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes
To get me through.

Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea

Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee

Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea

Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee

Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea

Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee

Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

"Release Me"

"Release Me"


Please release me, let me go
For I don't love you anymore
To waste our lives would be a sin
Release me and let me love again

I have found a new love, dear
And I will always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold
Release me, my darling, let me go

Oh, please release me, let me go
For I don't love you anymore
To waste our lives would be a sin
So release me and let me love again

Please release me, can't you see
You'd be a fool to cling to me?
To live a lie would bring us pain
So release me and let me love again

Let me love, let me go

"Rhythm Of The Rain"

"Rhythm Of The Rain"


Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain, please, tell me now, does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Falling rain
Cry in vain

But, rain, won't you tell her that I love her so
Please, ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart, and let the love we knew start to grow

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

Falling rain
Falling rain
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Falling rain
Listen to the rhythm of the
Listen to the rhythm of the
Cry in vain
Listen to the rhythm of the

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
