"One Track Mind"

"One Track Mind"

Tossing and turning
All night long
Down in my pillow
Felt so strong
Had to get up
And write this song
Baby where do we go from here?

Can't do anything to make you see
You've been your loving was made for me
What can I do
To make you see
That with you I can't go wrong

All I do is pray
That you will come my way
No doubt about it
I've got a one track mind

You took my breath so easily
And You touched my heart so carefully
And You give your love so tenderly
And You can't do nothing wrong

I got no time for no one else
And I got no love for no one else
Cause I don't believe in no one else
With you I do belong

[Chorus:]
As far as I can see
You're the one for me
No doubt about it
I've got a one track mind

[Chorus]

You take my breath so easily
And you took my heart so carefully
And you give your love so readily
And you can't do nothing wrong

[Chorus 2x and fade]

"Opposites"

"Opposites"

Night after day, day after night.
White after black, black after white.
Fight after peace, peace after fight.
Life after death, death after life.

"Our Love Is Here To Stay"

"Our Love Is Here To Stay"

It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day

The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies,
And in time may go

But, oh my dear,
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way

In time the Rockies may crumble,
Gibraltar may tumble,
They're only made of clay,
But our love is here to stay

Oh my dear,
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way

In time the Rockies may crumble,
Gibraltar may tumble,
They're only made of clay,
But our love is here to stay
Our love is here to stay.

"Over The Rainbow"

"Over The Rainbow"

[Chorus:]
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away across the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh why can't I?

[Chorus]

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh why can't I?
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
Why oh why can't I?
Why can't I?
Why can't I?
Why can't I?

"Pilgrim"

"Pilgrim"

And how do I choose and where do I draw the line
Between truth and necessary pain?
And how do I know and where do I get my belief
That things will be all right again?

What words do I use to try and explain
To those who've witnessed all my tears?
And what does it mean to know all these things
When love's been wasted all these years,
When love's been wasted all these years.

Standing in the shadows
With my heart right in my hand,
Removed from all the people
Who could never understand.

[Chorus:]
I was a pilgrim for your love,
A pilgrim for your love.
I was a pilgrim for your love,
A pilgrim for your love.

It's like living in a nightmare,
Like looking in the blackest hole,
Like standing on the edge of nothing,
Completly out of control.

Now where have I been all these years
And how come I just couldn't see?
Like a blind man walking 'round in darkness,
I was a pilgrim for your love,
I was a pilgrim for your love.

[Bridge 2x]

[Chorus 2x]

"Please Be With Me"

"Please Be With Me"

Oh my word, what does it mean?
Is it love or is it me
That makes me change so suddenly?
Looking out, feeling free.

Sit here lying in my bed,
Wondering what it was I'd said
That made me think I'd lost my head,
When I knew I lost my heart instead.

[Chorus:]
Won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy.
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me.
Because you can find my mind, please be with me.

Of all the better things I've heard,
Loving you has made the words
And all the rest seem so absurd,
'Cause in the end it all comes out unsure.

[Chorus]

"Presence Of The Lord"

"Presence Of The Lord"

I have finally found a way to live
Just like I never could before.
I know that I don't have much to give,
But I can open any door.

Everybody knows the secret,
Everybody knows the score.
I have finally found a way to live
In the color of the Lord.

I have finally found a place to live
Just like I never could before.
And I know I don't have much to give,
But soon I'll open any door.

Everybody knows the secret,
Everybody knows the score.
I have finally found a place to live
In the presence of the Lord.
In the presence of the Lord.

I have finally found a way to live
Just like I never could before.
And I know I don't have much to give,
But I can open any door.

Everybody knows the secret,
I said everybody knows the score.
I have finally found a way to live
In the color of the Lord.
In the color of the Lord.

"Pretending"

"Pretending"

How many times must we tell the tale?
How many times must we fall?
Living in lost memory
You just recalled

Working on the sound of the band
Trying to get the music right
Two go out working
Three stay home at night

That's when she said she was pretending
Like she knew the plan
That's when I knew she was pretending
Pretending to understand

Pretending, pretending
Pretending, pretending

Satisfied but lost in love
Situations change
You're never who you used to think you are
How strange

[Repeat First Chorus]

[Bridge]

I get lost in alibis
Sadness can't prevail
Everybody knows strong love
Can't fail

Don't be pretending about how you feel
Don't be pretending that your love is real
Don't be pretending about how you feel
Don't be pretending that your love is real

[Bridge]

"Pretty Blue Eyes"

"Pretty Blue Eyes"

Left alone to cry
While he goes out singing,
And she don't see why
A wedding bell ain't ringing.

Left alone to cry
While he goes out rocking,
And she can't see why
It ain't her he's socking.

[Chorus:]
Goodbye, pretty blue eyes.
Goodbye, pretty blue eyes.

Left alone to cry;
Life don't seem worth living.
I stand to say goodbye,
Done enough forgiving.

[Chorus]

"Pretty Girl"

"Pretty Girl"

Pretty girl you are the light of my life,
I mean my everything.
You are the one I chose to make my wife,
That's why you wear my ring.

And when I'm feeling down and out,
You're the one who will bail me out.
My love will always guide me home, my pretty girl.

Pretty girl don't ever say goodbye,
Don't ever let me be,
If you do, you know that I would die,
You mean that much to me.

And when I'm feeling low and blue,
You always know just what to do.
My love will always guide me home, my pretty girl.

[Repeat First Chorus]

Pretty girl, hear what I have to say,
It's something you should know,
You brought me sunshine on my darkest day,
That's why I love you so.

And when my wandering day is through,
I'll always hurry back home to you.
My love will always guide me home, my pretty girl.
