"Geisha Girl"

"Geisha Girl"


Have you ever heard a love song that you didn't understand?
Were you ever in a teahouse on the Island of Japan?
Or have you ever traveled over many thousand miles
To see a pretty Geisha girl dressed in Oriental style?

They've read it in the tea leaves, it's written in the sand
I found love by the heartful in the foreign distant land
Tell the home folks that I'm happy with someone that's true I know
I love my pretty Geisha girl where the ocean breezes blow

I stood and watched the sunrise by the waters of the sea
And wondered how much beauty in this whole world can that be
My dreams are all worth dreaming and it makes my life worth while
To see a pretty Geisha girl dressed in Oriental style

They've read it in the tea leaves, it's written in the sand
I found love by the heartful in the foreign distant land
Tell the home folks that I'm happy with someone that's true I know
I love a pretty Geisha girl where the ocean breezes blow
I love a pretty Geisha girl where the ocean breezes blow

"Give A Little Love"

"Give A Little Love"


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

"Good Luck Charm"

"Good Luck Charm"


Don't want a four leaf clover
Don't want an old horse shoe
Want your kiss 'cause I just can't miss
With a good luck charm like you

Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
A-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight

Don't want a silver dollar
Rabbit's foot on a string
The happiness in your warm caress
No rabbit's foot can bring

Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
A-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight

If I found a lucky penny
I'd toss it across the bay
Your love is worth all the gold on earth
No wonder that I say

Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
A-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight

"Green Glens Of Antrim"

"Green Glens Of Antrim"


Far across yonder blue
Lies a true paradise
With the sea rippling over
The shingle and spice

Where the gay honeysuckle
Is luring the bee
And the green glens of Antrim
Are calling to me

If only you knew
How the light of the moon
Turns a blue Irish bay
To a silver lagoon

You'd imagine the picture
Of heaven it would be
Where the green glens of Antrim
Are welcoming to me

And I hope to return
To my own Cuchendall
It's the one place I know
That can outshine them all

Till I know every stone
I will recall every tree
Where the green glens of Antrim
Are heaven to me

But I'd be where the people
Are simple and kind
And among them there is one
That's been aye in my mind

So I pray that the world
That in peace let me be
Where the green glens of Antrim
Are heaven to me

Where the green glens of Antrim
Are heaven to me

"Green, Green Grass Of Home"

"Green, Green Grass Of Home"


The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and my papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Yes, they'll all come to meet me
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Then I awake and look around me
At the cold grey walls that surround me
And I realize, yeah, I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home.

Yes, they'll all come to see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home...

"Guilty"

"Guilty"


I've been accused, convicted and condemned
The trial's over, and now I face the end,
Is this your way of telling me we're through
When all I'm guilty of, is loving you.

You were the judge, the jury all in one
You found me guilty and now my term's begun.
I must confess, I've never been untrue
And all I'm guilty of, is loving you.

[Chorus:]
Loving you, and now I'm losing you
Losing you, for things I didn't do.

Please let your heart, consider an appeal
For now you know, exactly how I feel.
Don't punish me for things I didn't do
When all I'm guilty of, is loving you.

Yes, all I'm guilty of, is loving you...

"Halfway To Paradise"

"Halfway To Paradise"


I want to be your lover
But your friend is all I've stayed
I'm only halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away

I long for your lips to kiss my lips
But just when I think they may
You lead me halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away, mmm

Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
But seein' you can do just so much
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure)
And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so

Put your sweet lips close to my lips
And tell me that's where they're gonna stay
Don't lead me halfway to paradise
Mmm, so near, yet so far away

Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away
Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away

"Halo Of Gold"

"Halo Of Gold"


Midnight has gone and she wasn't home
Could she be happy in some others arms
I just couldn't stand the doubt in my mind
To the night club I went, an answer to find.

In that dimly lit room at the table she sat
With some other guy, kind, sweet talking chap
But my anger turned to pride from within
'Cause these are the words I heard her tell him.

My wedding band is a halo of gold
A symble of love to one man alone
And I won't betray all the love that it's known
'Cause my wedding band is a halo of gold.

So I went on home before she could see
That I'd ever doubt her true love for me
And just in a while she walked through our door
And gave me a smile like always before.

Then she sat down the story to tell
Of this other man who tonight for her fell
But soon he could see he just couldn't win
'Cause these are the words that she said to him.

My wedding band is a halo of gold
A symble of love to one man alone
And I won't betray all the love that it's known
'Cause my wedding band is a halo of gold

Yes, my wedding band is a halo of gold...

"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"

"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"


Hark, he herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn king
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark, the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King

Have you seen your friend the moon?
Just arrived to share the night
When in Bethlehem that soon
Spreads a soft and candlelight
Hark, the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Hark, the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King

"He Stopped Loving Her Today"

"He Stopped Loving Her Today"


He said, I'll love you till I die
She told him, you'll forget in time
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again

Kept some letters by his bed
Dated nineteen sixty two
He had underlined in red
Every single 'I love you'

I went to see him just today
Oh, but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

You know, she came to see him one last time
Aww, and we all wondered if she would
And it kept runnin' through my mind
This time he's over her for good

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
