"Beyond The Rainbow's End"

"Beyond The Rainbow's End"


I have gone from sight but I am waiting
Waiting just beyond the rainbow's end
I'm happy in this place that I have come to
Because I'm here with my forever friend
Now all your thoughts of me let them be joyful
Of things we've done and happy times we shared
So don't be sad dear ones because I've left you
Please laugh and talk of me as if I'm there

Just look up in the sky I am the sunshine
I'm the mist that rises on the summer morn
I'm the gentle breeze that cools the autumn evening
When the birds sing in the trees I'm their song
This journey I've made one day you'll make it
You too will be with my forever friend
It's there once more that we'll be together
I'll meet you just beyond the rainbow's end
It's there once more that we'll be together
I'll meet you just beyond the rainbow's end
Yes, I'm waiting just beyond the rainbow's end

"Beyond The Sunset"

"Beyond The Sunset"


Should you go first and I remain
To walk the road alone
I'll live in memory's garden, dear
When happy days we've known.

In spring I'll watch for roses red
And shades of lilac blue
In early fall when the brown leaves fall
Then I'll catch a glimpse of you.

Should you go first and I remain
To finish with the scroll
No lenghtening shadows shall creep in
To make this life seem droll.

We've known so much of happiness
Yes, we've had our cup of joy
And memory is one gift of God
That death cannot destroy.

Should you go first and I remain
There's one thing I'd have you do
Walk slowly down that long road
For soon I'll follow you.

I want you to know each step I take
So that you may walk the same
For someday down that lonely road
I'll hear you calling my name.

Beyond the sunset, oh glad reunion
With our dear loved ones who've gone before
In that fair homeland we'll know no parting
Beyond the sunset for evermore...

"Blackboard Of My Heart"

"Blackboard Of My Heart"


When I was young and went to school
They taught me how to write
To take the chalk and make a mark
And hope it turns out right
Well that's the way it is with love
And what you did to me
I wrote it so you'd know
That I was yours eternally

[Chorus:]
But my tears have washed I love you
From the blackboard of my heart
It's too late to clean the slate
And make another start
I'm satisfied the way things are
Although we're far apart
My tears have washed I love you from
The blackboard of my heart

If you'd been true the way you should
And not have gone astray
These tears would not have fallen down
And washed the words away
No need to talk, 'cause if the chalk
Should write those words again It will be for someone else
Not things that might have been

[Chorus]

"Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"

"Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"


In the twilight glow I see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Now my hair is turned to silver
All my tears I've shed in vain
I can see her star in heaven
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain

"Blueberry Hill"

"Blueberry Hill"


On blueberry hill when I found you
The moon stood still on blueberry hill
And lingered until my dreams came true.

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be.

Though we're apart
You're a part of me still
'Cause you were my thrill
On blueberry hill.

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be.

Though we're apart
You're a part of me still
'Cause you were my thrill
On blueberry hill...

"Blueside Of Lonesome"

"Blueside Of Lonesome"


I'm calling' to tell you it's over
Yes, darling you're now free to go
You're saying' you're sorry you hurt me
But you've hurt me much more than you know

You're asking' me where this call comes from
Oh, I hope that you won't end up here
If your new romance turns out a failure
Here's where to find me, my dear

[Chorus:]
I'm just on the blue side of lonesome
Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel
In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops
On a bar stool, not doing' so well

The floor has a carpet of sorrow
But no one can weep in the aisle
And they say someone broke the bar mirror
With only the ghost of a smile

The hands on the clock never alter
For things never change in this place
There's no present, no past, no future
We're the ones who have lost in love's race

[Chorus]

"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"

"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"


He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way.
He had a boogie style that no one else could play.
He was the top man at his craft,
But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft.
He's in the army now. He's blowin' reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.

They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam.
It really brought him down because he could not jam.
The captain seemed to understand,
Because the next day the cap' went out and drafted the band.
And now the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.

A root, a toot, a toodlie-a-da-toot.
He blows it eight to the bar in boogie rhythm.
He can't blow a note unless a bass and guitar
Is playin' with him.
And the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.

He was some boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.
And when he played his boogie woogie bugle
He was busy as a busy bee.
And when he played he made the company jump eight to the bar.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.

Andata toodliata-toodliata toot toot
He blows it eight to the bar.
He can't blow a note if a bass and guitar
Isn't with him.
And the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.

He puts the boys to sleep with boogie every night,
And wakes 'em up the same way in the early bright.
They clap their hands and stamp their feet,
'Cause they know how it goes when someone gives him a beat.
Woah, woah, he wakes 'em up when he plays reveille.
The boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.

A root, a toot, a toodli-a-da to toot toot toot
He's blowin' eight to the bar.
Yeah, he can't blow a note if a bass and guitar
Isn't, woah, with him.
And the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.

"Bringing Mary Home"

"Bringing Mary Home"


I was driving down a lonely road, on a dark and stormy night
A little girl by the roadside showed up in my head lights
I stopped and she got inside and in a shaky tone
She said my name is Mary, please won't you take me home

She must have been so frightened, all alone there in the night
There was something strange about her, for her face was deathly white
She sat so pale and quite in the back seat all alone
I never will forget the night, I took Mary home

I pulled into the driveway, where she told me to go
Got out to help her from the car, opened up the door
I just could not believe my eyes, the back seat was bare
I looked all around the car, but Mary wasn't there

A light shone from the porch, someone opened up the door
I asked about the little girl was looking for
Then the lady gently smiled, brushed the tears away
She said it sure was nice of you to go out of your way

But thirteen years ago today, in a wreck just down the road
Our darling Mary lost her life, how we miss her so
Thank you for your trouble and the kindness you have shown
You're the 13th one that's been here bringing Mary home

"Burning Bridges"

"Burning Bridges"


Friends all tried to warn me
But I held my head up high
All the time they warned me
But I only passed them by
They all tried to tell me
But I guess I didn't care
I turned my back and
Left them standing there

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Joey tried to help me find a job
A while ago
When I finally got it I didn't want to go
The party Mary gave for me
When I just walked away
Now there's nothing left for me to say

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Years have passed and I keep thinking
What a fool I've been
I look back into the past and
Think of way back then
I know that I lost everything I thought I that could win
I guess I should have listened to my friends

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Burning bridges lost forevermore

"But I Do"

"But I Do"


I don't know why I love you but I do
I don't know why I cry so but I do
I only know I'm lonely and that I want you only
I don't know why I love you but I do

I can't sleep nights because I feel so restless
I don't know what to do, I feel so helpless
And since you've been away, I cry both night and day
I don't know why I love you but I do

My days have been so lonely
My nights have been so blue
I don't know how I manage, but I do

Each night I sit alone and tell myself
That I will fall in love with someone else
I guess I'm wastin' time but I've got to clear my mind
I don't know why I love you but I do

[Instrumental to end]
