"She's My Mother"

"She's My Mother"


I'm thinking of a little lady
She bears her load without a friend
The one who rocked me in my cradle
And through the years she loves me yet

The roses on her cheeks have faded
And when they pass her on the street
Would break my heart to see them mock her
Although she may not dress so neat

She was the first to ever love me
The first to hold me to her breast
God bless her 'cause she is my mother
And she'll be the last one I'll forget

Her way may seem a bit old fashioned
And some may laugh when passing by
I'm not ashamed to call her mother, my love for her I'll not deny
She was the first to ever love me

"She's My Rock"

"She's My Rock"


Well, You tell me how she was when you once knew her
How She played her games with many, many men
And you tell me that you don't think I'd be with her
If I could have known her back then
Lord, You ask me why I don't pack up and leave her
Now that I know about her wicked ways
Well, I doubt that you could understand my thinking
Oh, But listen close to what I have to say

[Chorus:]
She's the rock that I lean on
She's the sunshine of my day
And, I don't care what you say about her
Now, She took me in and made me everything I am today
She's my rock and I ain't gonna throw her away!

I know she wasn't always what she is now
Lord, She had to make mistakes like everybody else
And don't you point you finger at nobody
It's plain to see you ain't no saint yourself

[Chorus:]
She's the rock that I lean on
She's the sunshine of my day
And, I don't care what you say about her
Now, She took me in and made me everything I am today
She's my rock and I ain't gonna throw her away

Yes, She's my rock and I ain't gonna throw her away

Yes, She's my rock and I ain't gonna throw her away...

"Shine On (Shine All Your Sweet Love On Me)"

"Shine On (Shine All Your Sweet Love On Me)"


She'll never grace the centerfold of Playboy magazine
And chances are you'll never see her on the silver screen
She's by far the biggest star the world will never see
But she don't shine for the rest of the world
She's too busy shinin' on me.

Shine on, shine on,
Shine on though the world may never see
Oh my baby won't you, shine on, shine on,
Shine all your sweet love on me.

She won't be asked for autographs like all the movie stars
She won't wear Paris fashions or ride in chauffeured cars
But in her jeans she's the sexy dream that they'd all like to be
But she don't shine for the rest of the world
She's too busy shinin' on me.

Shine on, shine on,
Shine on though the world may never see
Oh my baby won't you, shine on, shine on,
Shine all your sweet love on me.

Shine all your sweet love on me...

"Ship Of Love"

"Ship Of Love"


Every time I turn around you turn up and turn me down
For you've got me buffaloed into your ways of thinking
Seems like all you want to do is hurt me love me awhile and then desert me
But you better drop anchor my ship of love is sinking.

Every time I'm in beside you the tide of life knot drags you on
And my little boat of love keeps you in sight for awhile but then you're gone
My love starts burning when I think you're turning around to see sick ole me
But you set sails on another trail and I'm a-drowing in a teardrop sea.

Every time I turn around you turn up and turn me down
For you've got me buffaloed into your ways of thinking
It seem like all you want to do is hurt me love me awhile and then desert me
But you better drop anchor my ship of love is sinking.

Well, I thought I had a chance of being rescued because the word got around to me
That your new captain had strayed of course and your ship had sprung a leak
But the crew that hangs around you fixed it in no time at all
As I cried for help I wasted my breath for you didn't even hear me call.

Every time I turn around you turn up and turn me down
For you've got me buffaloed into your ways of thinking
It seem like all you want to do is hurt me love me awhile and then desert me
But you better drop anchor my ship of love is sinking.

You better drop anchor my ship of love is sinking

"Shoe Goes On The Other Foot Tonight"

"Shoe Goes On The Other Foot Tonight"


Oh, a shoe goes on the other foot tonight
We'll find out if two wrongs can make a right
Tonight I'll push my heartaches out of sight
'Cause the shoe goes on the other foot tonight.

How long did you think you could go on hurting me
And I'd be your fool and wait at home alone
Well you go out and I have your fun like you are free
Tonight I'll have some pleasures of my own.

Cause a shoe goes on the other foot tonight
We'll find out if two wrongs can make a right
Tonight I'll push my heartaches out of sight
'Cause the shoe goes on the other foot tonight.

Each time you walk out the door you walk on me
And you leave the door wide open for the blues
You fly away from me like you are free
You must think there's wings upon your shoes.

'Cause a shoe goes on the other foot tonight
We'll find out if two wrongs can make a right
Tonight I'll push my heartaches out of sight
'Cause the shoe goes on the other foot tonight.

Yeah. the shoe goes on the other foot tonight...

"Shoulder To Shoulder"

"Shoulder To Shoulder"


Shoulder to shoulder arm in arm
Walkin' on could number nine
So much in love the way we used to be
Once upon a time once upon a time
I'll put that smile back on your face
The one this fool once took away
Each day I'll tell you how much I care
And say the things that I forgot to say
Well we'll be shoulder to shoulder...
I'll bring you love and happiness
And treat your heart so tenderly
Though friends may tell you fools never learn
I hope you'll take another chance on me
So we'll be shoulder to shoulder...
(Shoulder to shoulder arm in arm)
Walkin' on could number nine
So much in love the way we used to be
Once upon a time once upon a time
(Shoulder to shoulder arm in arm)

"Show Him That You Love Him"

"Show Him That You Love Him"


You've got to show him everyday that he's wanted
Let him know that you're proud he's around
And tell him every night that you'll always love him right
And you know his love will never let you down

If your heart's been acting kinda funny lately
Maybe it's just that you haven't told him how you feel
But instead you've gone and told your friends he's a good man
Love him and you know you always will
He's the one you should be telling how much love you have for him
And all of those compliments comin' from you
You can change your outlook now, and I'm gonna tell you how
Listen, here's all you have to do

You've got to show him everyday that he's wanted
Let him know that you're proud he's around
And tell him every night that you'll always love him right
And you'll know the Lord will never let you down

You've got to show him everyday that he's wanted
Let him know that you're proud he's around
And tell him every night that you'll always love him right
And you'll know the Lord will never let you down

And you'll know the Lord will never let you down

"Silent Partners"

"Silent Partners"


He stands in the doorway, his hands upon his hips
She stands by the punch bowl, a sweet smile on her lips
He slowly walks up to her, she reaches out for him
It's almost like some magnet is pulling both of them
And he says... and she says...

Silent partners, they don't say a word
She is the adjective and he is the verb
They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes
They don't make no promises, so they don't tell no lies
Silent partners, silent partners

Later in their love nest, at half-past ecstasy
They cling to each other and lie there silently
She would like to tell him what she feels in her heart
And he would like to share his soul
But don't know where to start
So he says... and she says...

Silent partners, they don't say a word
She is the adjective and he is the verb
They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes
They don't make no promises, so they don't tell no lies
Silent partners, silent partners

They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes
They don't make no promises, so they don't tell no lies
Silent partners, silent partners

Silent partners, silent partners
Silent partners

"Silver Dew On The Bluegrass Tonight"

"Silver Dew On The Bluegrass Tonight"


The moon was softly shing on an old Kentucky home
The fragrance of magnolia's filled the air
A lonely girl was writing to her sweet heart all alone
To say how much she wished that she were there.

Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
How it shines in the moons silver light
And the day that used to be, ow I wish that you could be
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight.

Star of love, high above shining bright
Know the wish that I'm wishing tonight
And you'll bring him back, I know, to the one who loves him so
Star of love high above shining bright.

Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
How it shines in the moons silver light
And the day that used to be, how I wish that you could be
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight...

"Simply Divine"

"Simply Divine"


When your arms hold me I thrill through and through
When your arms hold me I thrill the same too
No other can take it from these arms of mine
Oh, this feeling you give me is simply divine.

We're meant for each other, we both know it's true
And everyone round us say the same too
Just one kiss from your lips tells me you're mine
Oh, this feeling you give me is simply divine.

Just being near you means so much to me
If ever I'd lost you how lonesome I'd be
I'll love you forever till the end of the time
Oh this feeling you give me is simply divine.

We're meant for each other, we both know it's true
And everyone round us say the same too
Just one kiss from your lips tells me you're mine
Oh, this feeling you give me is simply divine...
