"Family"

"Family"


When it's family, you forgive them for they know not what they do
When it's family, you accept them, 'cause you have no choice but to
When it's family, they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
And they always put you to the test
And you always try to do your best
And just pray for God to do the rest, when it's family
Some are preachers, some are gay
Some are addicts, drunks and strays
But not a one is turned away, when it's family
Some are lucky, others ain't
Some are fighters, others faint
Winners, losers, sinners, saints, it's all family
And when it's family you trust them and your heart's an open door
When it's family, you tolerate what you'd kill others for
When it's family, you love and hate and take, then give some more
Somehow you justify mistakes, try to find some better way
To solve the problems day to day, in the family
You take the trouble as it comes and love them more than anyone
Good or bad or indifferent, it's still family
You choose your lovers, you pick your friends
Not the family that you're in, nah
They'll be with you 'til the end, 'cause it's family
And when it's family, you forgive them for they know not what they do
When it's family, they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
When it's family, when it's family
Let me be all that I should be to the family

"Farther Along"

"Farther Along"


Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested though in the wrong
When death has come and taken our loved ones
It leaves our home so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all, by and by
Faithful 'til death, said our loving Master
A few more days to labor and wait
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing
As we sweep through the beautiful gates
Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all, by and by

"Fire's Still Burning"

"Fire's Still Burning"


Familiar sounds tell me it's morning the night has been so dark and long
Each night without you just gets longer
While this torch I still carry just burns stronger
I know I never will stop loving you my tears just can't put out the flame
Or drown my hopes of your returning cause baby the fire's still burning

[Steel]

Wherever you are I hope you're happy although your love for me has died
But if you ever need or want me I'll take you back any time
I know I never will stop...
Yes baby the fire's still burning

"First Noel"

"First Noel"


(The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay
In fields where lay they're keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel Noel Noel Noel born is the King of Israel)
The first Noel the angels did say...
For all to see there was a bright star shining in the east beyond them far
And Judia earth it gave great light and so it continued both day and night
Noel Noel Noel Noel born is the King of Israel
Noel Noel Noel Noel born is the King of Israel

"Fish Out Of Water"
(from "Straight Talk" soundtrack)

"Fish Out Of Water"
(from "Straight Talk" soundtrack)



I feel so out of place here
With this high society
These high fallutin' people
Don't know what to make of me
I feel like a minnow in a sea of Moby Dicks
A small fry in a big pan
They're caviar - I'm fish sticks

Fish out of water
I know I don't belong
Fish out of water
Everything I do is wrong
My style of hair, the clothes I wear
The way I speak, the things I eat
The way I act, my lack of tact
Nothin' seems to fit
Fish out of water
Flounderin' round
Out of my element

But I'm just as good as they are
Why do I feel second rate
It's like, "Sorry Charlie,
We want only tuna with good taste"
I guess you could say Wal-Mart
Is quite a way from Gucci's
I'm Timex, they're Rolex
I'm Captain D's, they're sushi

Fish out of water
I've had it to the gills
Fish out of water
With these yuppie-guppie frills
Yeah, I'm a square in a round hole
A catfish in a goldfish bowl
A little fish with lots of soul
Out of my element
Fish out of water
Flounderin' round just for the Halibut

Save me, save me
S.O.S. somebody
Save me, save me
Somebody rescue me

Fish out of water
Somebody throw me in
Fish out of water
On a scale of one to ten
I'm a two, perhaps a three
Compared to the big fish in the sea
I'm washed ashore so save me please
I'm in an awful fix
Fish out of water
Rescue me
And you better do it quick
Fish out of water
It's such a culture shock
Fish out of water
My stomach's tied in knots
Fish out of water
Fish out of water

"Fool For Your Love"

"Fool For Your Love"


Ooh, but love was just so hard to find
Till you came along into my life
And then I thought I would lose my mind
When you said that you wanted to be mine

And ever since that day I've been hooked
Nothing can turn me away
This living with you is like a dream come true
And it grows more and more everyday

Ooh, I'm reaching the highest of highs
Everytime I look into your eyes
You ask how I feel
I can say it out loud
I feel like a million inside

And I never thought this could happen to me
You got me just where you want me baby
And for your love I would do anything
Every night I'm a fool for your love

[Chorus:]
I'm a fool for your love
I'm a fool for your love
I'm just a fool for your love
I'm a fool and can't get enough

Driving home from this sleepy old town
When my day's work is all through
The sun and the lights, well I wish I could fly
To get back faster to you

I waited all day by the telephone
Staring at the clock on the wall
The hours are so long when you're free from my arms
And I just can't wait to hold you

[Repeat Chorus]

Ooh, you're giving me chills up my spine
I'm feeling so fine, going out of my mind
And I don't care if it never stops
I love you right up until I drop, you know

[Repeat Chorus]

[Fade:]
Cause I'm a fool for your love
I'm a fool, I'm a fool, I'm a fool for your love
I'm a fool for your love
I'm a fool and can't get enough

Cause I'm a fool for your love
I'm a fool for your love

"For The Good Times"

"For The Good Times"


Don't look so sad I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the rain drops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times

I'll get along and you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
They'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the rain drops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times

For the good times
For the good times

"Forever Love"

"Forever Love"


You touch me it's like no one else ever touched me
Kiss me and all other kisses just fade
No other arms come to mind when you hold me
As if ever knew that for you, I was made
You are my joy and my laughter
You are the moon and you gave the stars light
You are my ever after
Forever love, the light of my life
You wrote the book, each page and each chapter
You are my poetry, story and song
Each moment I try to capture
All of the magic that you bring along
Fantasy, romance, story-book feelings
Wrapped as a gift sent from Heaven above
I promise I'll always love you
I'm yours, forever, love
You are my joy and my laughter
I vow to drink only from your loving cup
You are my ever after
You're mine, forever love
You are my joy and my laughter
My ever after
My forever love
My cherished
Forever love

"Fresh Out Of Forgiveness"

"Fresh Out Of Forgiveness"


Don't tell me you're sorry for thing you caused me
And from from now on you'll be true
And don't don't you ask me to forgive you again I'm fresh out of forgiveness for you

Now I, I gave you everything I knew how to give
Now I've done done everything you've ever asked me to do
But even even a fool gets so tired being fool I'm fresh out of forgiveness for you

No I I can't I just can't I can't forgive you this time if I did oh I know you do
Well you're just too just too wrong and you hurt me hurt me again
And I'm fresh out of forgiveness for you I'm fresh out of forgiveness for you

"From Here To The Moon And Back"
(with Willie Nelson)

"From Here To The Moon And Back"
(with Willie Nelson)



I could hold out my arms and say "I love you this much"
I could tell you how long, I will long for your touch
How much and how far, would I go to prove
The depth and the breadth of my love for you

From here to the moon and back
Who else in this world will love you like that?
Love everlasting I promise you that
From here to the moon and back
From here to the moon and back

I want you to know you can always depend
On promises made and love without end
No need to wonder how faithful I'll be
Now and on into eternity

From here to the moon and back
Who else in this world could love you like that?
Forever and always I'll be where you're at
From here to the moon and back
From here to the moon and back

I blow you a kiss as I wish on a star
Counting my blessings for all that you are
Thank heaven for you and to God tip my hat
From here to the moon and back

And I'll spend forever just proving that fact
From here to the moon and back...
(Who will love you like that?)

From here to the moon and back
Oh-oh, mm-mm
