"(Turn Out The Light And) Love Me Tonight"

"(Turn Out The Light And) Love Me Tonight"

I've been lonesome,
I've been empty
I got an achin',
Way down inside
I need someone,
Someone to hold me
Pull down the shade,
Turn out the light
And love me tonight.

Don't think about tomorrow
It don't matter any more
We can turn the key
And lock the world outside the door.

I need you so now
Come on let's go now
Kick off your shoes,
Turn out the light
And love me tonight.

[Instrumental]

Now don't you worry
We're all alone now
Let your hair down
Sit by my side
Turn off the T.V.
Put on some music
Pull down the shade
Turn out the light
And love me tonight

Don't think about tomorrow
It don't matter any more
We can turn the key
And lock the world outside the door.

I need you so now
Come on let go now
Kick off your shoes
Turn out the light
And love me tonight...

"A Handful Of Dust"

"A Handful Of Dust"

Handful of Dust, Handfuls of Dust,
True love makes perfect these handfuls of dust.

Well break us down by our elements,
And you might think He failed.
We're not copper for one penny or even iron for one nail.
And a dollar would be plenty to buy twenty of us
Til true love is added to these handfuls of dust

A handful of dust, a handful of dust
Sums up the richest and poorest of us
And true love makes priceless the worthless
Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust

However small though our worth may be,
When shared between two hearts.
Is evermore than it would ever be
Measured on it's own apart.
And our half what it could be is now twice what it was
When true love is added to these handfuls of dust

A handful of dust, a handful of dust
Sums up the richest and poorest of us
And true love makes priceless the worthless
Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust
Handfuls of dust

Sums up the richest and poorest of us
And true love makes priceless the worthless
Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust...

"Ain't It Amazing"

"Ain't It Amazing"

I've never had a face you'd notice
The world never took much notice of me
I've never been good at conversation
I was too busy tripping on my own feet

I've never had grand illusions
Love was always for someone else
But in a world, so few surprises
There's still a few surprises left

Ain't it amazing, that miracles happen
Ain't it amazing, you can still find your dream
Ain't it amazing, it all comes true
When someone like you can happen to someone like me

So hold me now so warm beside you
Let me stay forever near
Sometimes I think I'm only dreaming
But I wake up, you're still here

Ain't it amazing, that miracles happen
Ain't it amazing, you can still find your dream
Ain't it amazing, it all comes true
When someone like you can happen to someone like me...

"All I'm Missing Is You"

"All I'm Missing Is You"

I go to places we like to go
I do the things we like to do
Familiar faces we both know
All I'm missing is you

Don't ask me how I'm getting along
'Cause there's really nothing new
Everything's about the same since you've gone
All I'm missing is you

The same ole memories are just as strong
Same ole dreams don't come true
That same ole feeling goes on and on
All I'm missing is you

Don't ask me how I'm getting along
'Cause there's really nothing new
Everything's about the same since you've gone
All I'm missing is you

[Instrumental]

Don't ask me how I'm getting along
'Cause there's really nothing new
Everything's about the same since you've gone
All I'm missing is you

"Amanda"

"Amanda"

I've held it all inward
Lord knows I've tried
It's an awful awakenin'
In a country boy's life
To look in the mirror
In total surprise
At the hair on your shoulders
And the age in your eyes.

[Chorus]
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife.

Well the measure of people
Don't understand
The pleasures of life
In a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar
When I was fourteen
Now I'm crowding thirty
And still wearin' jeans.

[Chorus]

"And So It Goes"

"And So It Goes"

I thought we'd always be together
In my mind, there was no doubt
Our two hearts were bound forever
We would never be without

Spring to summer, falls to winter
those that can just fly away
to find a place for them that's better
I guess here is where I'll stay

And so it goes
while we were busy with the details of our lives
everyday thinking' time was on our side
I turned around and you were gone
and I left here with the words I never got around to saying
I don't know why, I guess I never thought our time could pass us by

Life for you took new direction
What I may never figure out
that nature goes about her business
With new surprises every day

And so it goes
while we were busy with the details of our lives
everyday thinking' time was on our side
I turned around and you were gone
and I'm left here with the words I never got around to saying
I don't know why, I guess I never thought our time could pass us by

I turned around and you were gone
And I'm left here with the words
I never got around to saying
I don't know why,I guess I never thought
Our Time would pass us by

"Another Place, Another Time"

"Another Place, Another Time"

Oh, its late I know I should be leaving
We've both got someone waiting, we'll have to go
And it's so strange to think that I've just met you.
I almost wish I had met you long ago

And in your eyes I see a certain look
And that same look must be in mine
And who knows just what we might have been,
Another place another time

I'll admit in time that I'll forget you
'Cause the truth is I still love her after all
But even though we knew it couldn't happen
For a moment we felt something, Oh, so strong

And in your eyes I see a certain look
And that same look must be in mine
And who knows just what we might have been,
Another place another time

And who knows just what we might have been,
Another place another time...

"Atta Way To Go"

"Atta Way To Go"

Atta way to go you finally broke it off
Atta way to go we can't even talk or cry
Or even wonder why that a way to go

Didn't you believe me when I loved you
I guess you thought we were playing games
All this time I tried to think I've known you
I guess I really only knew your name

Atta way to go you finally broke it off
Atta way to go we can't even talk or cry
Or even wonder why that a way to go

I thought you knew I lived my life just for you
There was just no price to big to pay
And even though I know I still live for you
The feeling's that you show won't let me stay

"Back In My Younger Days"

"Back In My Younger Days"

Back in my younger days, I used to go all night
Now I just stay at home, and everything is all right
Back when I first met you, I used to live in a haze
That was so long ago, back in my younger days

I would do anything, just a stumbling fool
It's a wonder I'm standing here, I've broken so many rules
Now I dance with you every night, and still I'm so amazed
Your love made a man of me, back in my younger days

Oh, it doesn't seem that long ago
You, you make it feel like the first time we made love
And I ain't ever getting enough
Well, well, well....

As I go through the photographs, I laugh and turn the page
It's the ballad of me and you, from such an innocent age
Talk about a dream come true, we reinvented a phrase
It's better than it used to be, back in my younger days

Back in my younger days, Back in my younger days
It's better than it used to be, back in my younger days...

[Instrumental to fade]

"Back On The Street Again"

"Back On The Street Again"

I'm back on the street again
Got to stand on my own two feet again
I'm walking that lonely beat again
Remembering when, whoa, whoa, remembering when

Got a tear in my eyes again
To remind me that I might cry again
Feeling sad & wondering why again
Remembering when, whoa, whoa, remembering when

I remember a time when I thought the world was mine
The world belongs to somebody else now
And I'm just standing in line

So I'm thinking of me again
That's the way it's got to be again
I'll wait and I'll see till then
Remembering when, whoa, whoa, remembering when

I remember a time when I thought the world was mine.
The world belongs to somebody else now
And I'm just standing in line

So I'm thinking of me again
That's the way it's got to be again
I'll wait and I'll see till then
Remembering when, whoa, whoa, remembering when

Whoa, whoa, remembering when...
