"I Wish Tonight Would Never End"


Go out on a date with me tonight kiss me hard and hold me tight
Baby, I've loved you for so long
You're really just a huggin' and kiss and pet, make love that ain't been made yet
Baby, true love just can't be wrong.

Well, we'll a make love underneath the stars under a lover's moon
Make us some plans about a weddin' day that's comin' up real soon
So I'm a gonna take you out tonight and I'm a gonna treat you real, real nice
Wish that tonight would never end.

Well, a we'll a get in about two o'clock and all your neighbors in the block
They won't know what time that you get in
'Cause we'll a just a sneak up to your door, kiss me once and I'll beg for more
Wish that tonight would never end.

Yeah, yeah, we'll make love underneath the stars under a lover's moon
Make us some plans about a weddin' day that's comin' up real soon
So I'm a gonna take you out tonight and I'm a gonna treat you real, real nice
Wish that tonight would never end...

"I Woke Up From Dreaming"

"I Woke Up From Dreaming"


We both have a morning cup of coffee
And with tender love you reach and touch my hand
And my son comes in and says good morning daddy
And I say how's daddy's little man
Then I woke up from dreaming I woke up from dreaming
I keep dreaming you're not gone but I'd found myself alone
When I woke up from dreaming
We're both making plans for the future
Of the joy that we want to give our son
We'd say almost enough to buy a new home
A home filled with love and fun
Then I woke up from dreaming...
Then I woke up from dreaming

"I Won't Love You Anymore"

"I Won't Love You Anymore"


Do you think I'll keep on waitin' for your love while you keep date
Other fellows in this town that think you're free
I can't give something dear for nothing surely this time I'm not bluffing
I won't love you any more than you love me
You like worldly ways and riches pretty clothes and fancy stitches
And you think you're living best with all of these
But I know one thing for certain my old heart can't stand this hurtin'
It's not right to love you more than you love me
I can't run around with everyone to play with you
So why must I be the one who's always so confused
This love affair is far from even and I believe in even steven
I won't love you any more than you love me
It's not right to love you more than you love me

"I Won't Need You Anymore"

"I Won't Need You Anymore"


You're my always and forever.
You're the one that hung the moon.
After all these nights together
I still get lost in your perfume.
And if I could write a love song,
Every line would tell the truth.
It would be a warm and soft one
And my heart would say to you
When you see me walk on water,
When the sea don't reach the shore
When the fires of hell freeze over,
I won't need you anymore
Oh, the feelings lay so easy,
Lyin' here the way we are.
No one else could ever hold me
Like the heavens hold the stars.
When you see me walk on water,
When the sea don't reach the shore
When the fires of hell freeze over,
I won't need you anymore
I won't need you anymore

"I Wonder How John Felt (When He Baptized Jesus)"

"I Wonder How John Felt (When He Baptized Jesus)"


Do you remember how you felt when you kissed your brand new bride
Or the feeling that ran through you when you held your new born child
And when he called you daddy did you feel ten feet tall
Well, I heard about a man who must have had the greatest thrill of all
John was just an ordinary man like you and me
And he did lotta preaching near the Sea of Galilee
Well, he must have been a pretty good preacher
Cause he sure could tell the news
But he said there's a man coming after me and I can't tie his shoes
I wonder how John felt when he baptized Jesus
How did he feel when Jesus came and said let it be done
I wonder how John felt when he led him in the water
Don't you know it was a blessin' to baptize God's only son
John talked to a lot of people and many saw the light
But what about walking up and shaking hands with Jesus Christ
I wonder if he trembled when he first saw the man
Don't you know he felt the spirit when he touched the Master's hand
I wonder how John felt when he baptized Jesus
How did he feel when Jesus came and said let it be done
I wonder how John felt when he led him in the water
Don't you know it was a blessin' to baptize God's only son
I wonder how John felt when he baptized Jesus
How did he feel when Jesus came and said let it be done
I wonder how John felt when he led him in the water
Don't you know it was a blessin' to baptize God's only son...

"I'd Jump The Mississippi"

"I'd Jump The Mississippi"


I been lonely much too long I'd give a Yankee dime if you come back home
Honey won't you let me hold you tight
Tears keep a fallin' my eyes are blurred if I had the wings of a pretty little bird
I would fly right to your arms tonight
I'd jump the Mississippi deep and wide if you was a waitin' on the other side
Honey just to hug and hold you tight
I'd jump across and never get wet right there by your side I'd set
Yes indeed everything would be alright
If you would come back home to me make me happy like I used to be
I'd start and meet you halfway
I'd leave here and never look back I'd run a mile in a minute flat
To get to you before the end of day
I'd jump the Mississippi deep and wide...
I'd jump the Mississippi deep and wide...

"I'd Rather Die Young"

"I'd Rather Die Young"


I'd rather die young than grow old without you
So don't ever leave me whatever you do
Though others may tempt you and tell you they care
You'll find only sorrow in a secret affair
I'd rather die young than grow old all alone
Please tell me you love me let me call you my own
To see someone's picture where my picture hung
Believe me my darling I'd rather die young
Don't leave me never leave me please don't leave me never leave me
I'd rather die young than grow old all alone...

"I'd Rather Have What We Had"

"I'd Rather Have What We Had"


We used to drink Bluenune there in room 321
Over the river where we weren't well known
Now it's two coffees then off to the office
Then back in the driveway and sitting at home

Sneaking around with me
Being tied down with me
Which one would you rather have?
(Be honest)

Dying to be with me, watching TV with me
Is this what we wanted so bad?
Well, I'd rather have what we had

We carefully planned it, what our hearts demanded
No more motel rooms, no more cheating lies
Now we're looking at it a neatly wrapped package
But open it up and there's no surprise

Sneaking around with me
Being tied down with me
Which one would you rather have?
(Be honest)

Dying to be with me, watching TV with me
Is this what we wanted so bad?
Well, I'd rather have what we had
Darling, I'd rather have what we had

"I'd Rather Switch Than Fight"

"I'd Rather Switch Than Fight"


Well, I'd rather switch than fight anytime
There's a little yellow streak runnin' up this back of mine
When it's time who's a-gonna hold him tight
I'm a lover not a fighter and I'd rather a-switch than fight

Well, I was out with a red head last night
Her boy friend caused a scene that was a sight
Then he bowed about me and I took flight
There's a whole lot more of them pretty girls
And I rather switch than fight

Well, I'd rather switch than fight anytime
There's a little yellow streak runnin' up this back of mine
When it's time who's a-gonna hold him tight
I'm a lover not a fighter and I'd rather a-switch than fight

Now my first wife was a lovely sight to view
But fuss and fight was all she cared to do
When she reached forty-four, well, I shoved her out the door
And I got me a couple that were twenty-two

Well, I'd rather switch than fight anytime
There's a little yellow streak runnin' up this back of mine
When it's time who's a-gonna hold him tight
I'm a lover not a fighter and I'd rather a-switch than fight

"I'll Be Loving You"

"I'll Be Loving You"


People keep talkin' and rockin' the boat,
Makin' trouble for you and me,
Their favorite pastime is diggin' up the past times
Little things that used to be.
Before I met you I'll bet you we made time
but to the past we've never returned,
So they can take a long walk off a tall rock,
As far as we're concerned.

Yeah, let 'em keep flappin' 'bout things that used to happen,
We'll take it with a little grain of salt,
'Cause I know, you know, things that happened long ago
Came to a screechin' halt.
They're very little people with minds to match
And I guess they never will learn,
So they can take a long walk off a tall rock,
As far as we're concerned.

They'll never know how it feels to get better,
If they've never made a mistake,
They're so afraid that we're gonna be happy,
They can't bear to give us a break.
They're very little people with minds to match
And I guess they never will learn,
So they can take a long walk off a tall rock,
As far as we're concerned.

Yeah, let 'em keep flappin' 'bout things that used to happen,
