"Silver Threads Among The Gold"

"Silver Threads Among The Gold"


Darling, I am growing old,
Silver threads among the gold
Shine upon my brow today
Life is fading fast away.

But, my darling, you will be, will be
Always young and fair to me
Yes, my darling, you will be
Always young and fair to me.

When your hair is silver white
And your cheeks no longer bright
With the roses of the May
I will kiss your lips and say.

Oh! My darling, mine alone, alone
You have never older grown
Yes, my darling, mine alone
You have never older grown.

Love can never more grow old
Locks may lose their brown and gold
Cheeks may fade and hollow grow
But the hearts that love will know.

That, my darling, you will be, will be
Always young and fair to me
Yes, my darling, you will be
Always young and fair to me.

Always young and fair to me...

"Sing Me An Old Fashioned Song"

"Sing Me An Old Fashioned Song"


Sing me, sing me an old fashioned song
Bring me, back in my mind, to a time where my memories all come from
Ah good timing song, the kind that makes you want to sing along
A good old fashioned, hand clapping, knee slapping, foot tapping song

When I was young I used to wait
Upon my master and drain his pipe
And pass the bottle when his was dry
And wash away the boot tail fly

Jimmy crack corn 'n I don't care
Jimmy crack corn 'n I don't care
Jimmy crack corn 'n I don't care
The Master's gone away

Shoo fly don't bother me
Shoo fly don't bother me
Shoo fly don't bother me
I don't want your company
Flies in the buttermilk two by two
Flies in the buttermilk shoo fly shoo
Flies in the butter milk skip to ma loo
Skip to ma loo my darlin'

"Sing Me An Old Irish Song"

"Sing Me An Old Irish Song"


Sing me an old irish song
Bring back the dreams that have gone
Sing me a love what's so strong
Bring me the days when we we're young...
And true, and I love you

And that old irish song
Calling me back to my home
Where once again you sing along
To an old irish song

I see the mountains, the valleys
The green fields below me
I walked the highways, the byways
The old people show me

I hear the songbirds
Remember the soft words

We spoke after dark in the glen
I hear you calling me
Your songs recalling me
Back to those days again

Sing me an old irish song
Bring back the dreams that have gone
Sing me a love what's so strong
Bring me the days when we we're young...
And true, and I love you

And that old irish song's
Calling me back to my home
Where once again we sing along
To an old irish song

I remember the old days
How I loved the old ways of living
There was more sharing, caring
More loving, more giving
How times have changed
Life's been all disarranged
Since summers we laughed in the rain
But I hear you calling me
Your songs recalling me
Back to those days again

Sing me an old irish song
Bring back the dreams that have gone
Sing me a love what's so strong
Bring me the days when we we're young...
And true, and I love you

And that old irish song's
Calling me back to my home
Where once again you sing along
To an old irish song

Sing me an old irish song
Bring back the dreams that have gone
Sing me a love what's so strong
Bring me the days when we we're young...
And true, and I love you

And that old irish song's
Calling me back to my home
Where once again you sing along
To an old irish song

Sing me an old irish song
An old irish song

"Singing The Blues"

"Singing The Blues"


Well, I never felt more like singin' the blues
'Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear, why'd you do me this way?
Well, I never felt more like cryin' all night
'Cause everythin's wrong, and nothin' ain't right
Without you, you got me singin' the blues.

The moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothin' left for me to do
But cry-y-y-y over you (cry over you)
Well, I never felt more like runnin' away
But why should I go 'cause I couldn't stay
Without you, you got me singin' the blues.

Well, I never felt more like singin' the blues
'Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear, why'd you do me this way?
Well, I never felt more like cryin' all night
'Cause everythin's wrong, and nothin' ain't right
Without you, you got me singin' the blues.

Oh, the moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothin' left for me to do
But cry-y-y-y over you (cry over you)
Well, I never felt more like runnin' away
But why should I go 'cause I couldn't stay
Without you, you got me singin' the blues

"Snowflake"

"Snowflake"


(Snowflake) (snowflake) (snowflake)
Hey, hey, hey, snowflake (snowflake)
My pretty little snowflake (snowflake)
Oh, oh, oh, the change in the weather
Has made it better for me.
Hey, hey, hey, snowflake (snowflake)
My pretty little snowflake (snowflake)
You've got me warm as a fire
With the burning desire for you.
Snow was falling when love came calling
On this lonely heart of mine.
You were standing there with snow flaked in your hair
You kept stalling while my thoughts were calling
On everything I knew
For one excuse to get acquainted with you.
Then I said snowflake (snowflake)
My pretty little snowflake (snowflake)
Oh, oh, oh, the change in the weather
Has made it better for me.
Hey, hey, hey snowflake (snowflake)
My pretty little snowflake (snowflake)
You've got me warm as a fire
With the burning desire for you.
The ice was breaking and
Love was waking in a winter wonderland
When I felt you slip your fingers in my hand
Now snow is gleaming and
I'm not dreaming I know this is for real
The love I have is too much to conceal.
Hey, hey, hey, snowflake (snowflake)
My pretty little snowflake (snowflake)
Oh, oh, oh, the change in the weather
Has made it better for me.
Hey, hey, hey snowflake (snowflake)
My pretty little snowflake (snowflake)
You've got me warm as a fire
With the burning desire for you...
(Snowflake) (snowflake) (snowflake) (snowflake)
(Snowflake) (snowflake) (snowflake) (snowflake)
(Snowflake...)

"So Wrong"

"So Wrong"


I've been so wrong, for so long
Thought I could live without the love that you give
I was wrong, oh, so wrong
I've been so wrong, for so long
I didn't know that I loved you so
I was wrong

Well, I never knew I could want you darlin'
Oh, so much
Now that you're gone, I dream of you
And your sweet touch
I was so wrong, for so long
But I've seen the light, darlin, I'll make it right
I was wrong

"Softly And Tenderly"

"Softly And Tenderly"


Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portal He's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me.

Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come home
Ernestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, all sinners come home.

[Instrumental]

Oh, for the wonderful love he has promised
Promised for you and for me
Tho we have sinned he has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me.

Come home, come home
Ye who are wary come home
Ernestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, all sinners come home.

Come home, come home
Ye who are wary come home
Ernestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, all sinners come home.

Calling, all sinners come home...

"Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You)"

"Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You)"


I know that someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody else
You'll expect me to be true and to keep on loving you
Though I'm feeling blue
You'd think I can't forget you.

Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm strong for somebody new
And though you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't, won't want you.

[Orchestral Break]

Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm strong for somebody new
Although you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't, I won't want you.

"Spanish Eyes"

"Spanish Eyes"


Blue Spanish eyes
Teardrops are falling from your Spanish eyes
Please, please don't cry
This is just adios and not goodbye.

Soon I'll return
Bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say si si
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me.

[Instrumental]

Blue Spanish eyes

Prettiest eyes in all of Mexico
Two Spanish eyes
Please smile for me once more before I go.

Soon I'll return
Bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say si si
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me.

Please say si si
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me..

"Stand Beside Me"

"Stand Beside Me"


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.
