"The World Needs A Melody"

"The World Needs A Melody"


The world needs a tune that it can hum
Hmm, mmm, the world needs a guitar that it can strum
The world needs a melody that it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Let's all sing together.

In the sweet bye and bye
We shall meet on that beautiful shore, mmm together
The world needs a bell it can chime, chime, chime, chime, chime chime
The world needs a drum to keep the time, mmm mmm

The world needs a melody it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Let's all sing together.

The world needs a reason to clap it hands.
The world needs a leader for it's band

The world needs a melody that it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Let's all sing together
Give us that old time religion, give us that old time religion.
Hmm, hmm, together

In the sweet bye and bye
Give us that old time religion
In the sweet bye and bye
Give us that old time religion.

The world needs a melody that it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Together, together, together

"There Ain't No Grave Deep Enough"

"There Ain't No Grave Deep Enough"


Even though I know it's over
And your hearts with someone new
There ain't no grave deep enough to bury my love for you
There's no way to hide my feelings or cover up the truth
There ain't no grave deep enough to bury my love for you.

If ever you may need me if your new love does you wrong
On bended knee with open arms I'll welcome you back home
My love for you won't let me be ashamed of what you do
There ain't no grave deep enough to bury my love for you.

If ever you may need me if your new love does you wrong
On bended knee with open arms I'll welcome you back home
My love for you won't let me be ashamed of what you do.
There ain't no grave deep enough to bury my love for you.

No, there ain't no grave deep enough to bury my love for you

"There Goes My Everything"

"There Goes My Everything"


There goes my only possession!
There goes my everything!

I hear footsteps slowly walking
As they gently walk across a lonely floor
And the voice is softly saying
Darling, this will be goodbye for evermore!

There goes my reason for living!
There goes the one of my dreams!
There goes my only possession!
There goes my everything!

As my memory turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we've had before.
Now the love that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of the door!

There goes my reason for living!
There goes the one of my dreams!
There goes my only possession!
There goes my everything!

"There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight"

"There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight"


I'll pretend I'm free from sorrow,
Make believe that wrong is right;
Your wedding day will be tomorrow,
But there'll be no teardrops tonight.

Why, oh why should you desert me,
Are you doin' this for spite;
If you only want to hurt me,
Then there'll be no teardrops tonight.

I'll believe that you still love me,
When you wear your veil of white;
But you think that you're above me,
And there'll be no teardrops tonight.

Shame, oh shame for what you're doin',
Other arms will hold you tight;
You don't care whose life you ruin,
So, there'll be no teardrops tonight...

"There's A Friend In The Way"

"There's A Friend In The Way"


We can explain this one too clearly cause he's known he's a friend
That's standing in the pathway of our love
Yes we love each other dearly but we just can't find the way
Night and day there's friend in the way
I told him once I loved him too and he thinks I'd never lie
To me he's been like my right hand he thinks I'm quite a guy
Yes we love each other dearly but we just can't find the way
Night and day there's friend in the way
I told him once I loved him too...

"There's No Justice"

"There's No Justice"


Oh, I told you if you walked out on me we were through
And you told me that it couldn't matter less to you
You turned me down for someone who wouldn't turn a hand for you
There no justice in this world anymore.

There no justice in this world anymore
Sometimes I ask myself what am I livin' for
If wrong can triumph over right
If we are licked before a fight
There no justice in this world anymore.

Oh, you turn me down because you knew I loved you so
And you tried to see exactly how far you could go
Well, I thought that you would change your mind
But there's no hope for now I find
There no justice in this world anymore.

There no justice in this world anymore
Sometimes I ask myself what am I livin' for
If wrong can triumph over right
If we are licked before the fight
There no justice in this world anymore

"There's Nothing Left For You"

"There's Nothing Left For You"


You took every ounce of pride
That this poor fool had inside
You took all the happiness I ever knew
You took love you never earned
Gave me nothing in return
Lucky me, there's nothing left for you

There's no tears left to cry
There's no feeling left inside
There's no heart for you to hurt
To break in two
You took all the hope I own
And in a way, I'm glad it's gone
Lucky me, there's nothing left for you

There's no tears left to cry
There's no feeling left inside
There's no heart for you to hurt
To break in two
You took all the hope I own
And in a way, I'm glad it's gone
Lucky me, there's nothing left for you

"There's Power In Our Love"

"There's Power In Our Love"


I can't thank you enough
For the happiness we've shared
I've never known a day that sunshine wasn't there
I can't begin to tell you the joy you bring to me
And as long as we're together
What more could there ever be?

'Cause there's power, power, power in our love
It's so strong that it controls us everyday
Yes, there's power, power, power in our love
And together we love living life this way

There is no challenge in this world
That we can't meet, today
For I've got you beside me, hand in hand all the way
And when I go to sleep tonight so satisfied, within
I know that when the morning comes, I'll be in love again

'Cause there's power, power, power in our love
It's so strong that it controls us everyday
Yes, there's power, power, power in our love
And together we love living life this way

Yes, there's power, power, power in our love..

"There's The Door"

"There's The Door"


I wandered in around midnight
Like I've done so many times
She was sittin' at the table
There were no tears in her eyes
It seemed so much unlike her
To be so much at ease
She took a sip of coffee
And softly said to me

"There's the mantle where
We keep our wedding picture
There's the bedroom where
We make both love and war
And there's the ring that keeps
On slipping off your finger
There's no reason we should go on
Anymore and there's the door"

So I'm back here on this bar stool,
My whole world gone to hel
Behind the bottles there's a mirror
Where a fool can see himself
If I was the man I should be
And not the one I am
I would go back there this minute
And beg for one more chance

There's the jukebox
Where I wasted all those quarters
Oh, there's a lady trying to
Get me out on the floor
And there's a chance the one I love
Would still forgive me
It's a step that I just never took before
There's the door

There's the door...

"These Days (I Barely Get By)"

"These Days (I Barely Get By)"


I woke up this morning aching with pain
Don't think I can work, but I'll try
The car's in the shop so I thumbed all the way
Oh these days I barely get by

I walked home from work and it rained all the way
My wife left and didn't say why
She laid all her bills on the desk in the hall
Oh these days I barely get by

Put my only two dollars on my favorite horse
He lost by a nose and I cried
Oh, my boss says come winter we'll all be laid off
Oh these days I barely get by

These days I barely get by
I want to give up, lay down and die
Worst of all is when she told me goodbye
Oh these days I barely get by

Oh these days, one barely gets by
