"Wedding Bells"

"Wedding Bells"


I have the invitation that you sent me
You wanted me to see you change your name
I couldn't stand to see you wed another
But dear I hope you're happy just the same.

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
That should be ringing now for you and me
Down the aisle with someone else you're walking
Those wedding bells will never ring for me.

I planned a little cottage in the valley
I even brought a little band of gold
I thought someday I'll place it on your finger
But now the future looks so dark and cold.

I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair
And while the organ plays I'll love you truly
Please let me pretend that I am there.

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
Ever since the day you set me free
I knew someday that you would wed another
But wedding bells will never ring for me...

"Well It's All Right"

"Well It's All Right"


Well it's all right, it's all right
Long as I've got my Lord beside me, well, it's all right
Long as I've got his hand to hold, long as he's a watchin' over mysoul
Long as everything's in his control, well, it's all right.

Moses said, it's all right
When the chariots of Pharoah followed them in their flight
While the Thebes devided in two Moses and the children walk right through
Through of wall of water on their left and on their right.

Well it's all right, it's all right
Long as I've got my Lord beside me, well, it's all right
Long as I've got his hand to hold, long as he's a watchin' over mysoul
Long as everything's in his control, well, it's all right.

Well, David said, it's all right
When the Goliath mocked him then he challenged him to a fight
Little David said a prayer and then slung a little stone and done him in
And the people said amen and praised the almighty's might.

Well it's all right, it's all right...
Long as I've got my Lord beside me, well, it's all right
Long as I've got his hand to hold, long as he's a watchin' over mysoul
Long as everything's in his control, well, it's all right.

Daniel said, it's all right
When they threw him in the lion's den that awful night
While the hungry lion's walked about Daniel said Lord please help me out
And the Lord has shut the lion's mouth and he shut it tight

Well, it's all right, yeah, it's all right
Long as I've got my Lord beside me, well, it's all right
Long as I've got his hand to hold, long as he's a watchin' over mysoul
Long as everything's in his control, well, it's all right.

(It's all right, it's all right, it's all right...)

"What A Friend We Have In Jesus"

"What A Friend We Have In Jesus"


What a friend we have in Jesus all our sins and grieves to share
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer
Oh what peace we often forfeit oh what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations is there trouble anywhere
We should never be discouraged take it to the Lord in prayer
(Can we find up friend so faithful who will all our sorrow share)
In his arms he'll take and shield it you will find us all us there
Carry everything to God in prayer

"What Am I Doing There"

"What Am I Doing There"


I no longer know what's real anymore
In the back of my mind I have opened the door
That leads to the past and the love we once shared
I keep asking myself what am I doing there

What am I doing there holding you tight
Taking down your hair lying close by your side
Making believe that you still care
My new life is here what am I doing there

I don't get much rest with the secret I keep
And I'm afraid that some night oh, I'll talk in my sleep
How could I explain to the one lying here
She's loving me now what am I doing there

What am I doing there holding you tight
Taking down your hair lying close by your side
Making believe that you still care
My new life is here what am I doing there

My new life is here what am I doing there...

"What Am I Worth"

"What Am I Worth"


I know momma loved me
I reckoned that dad
Thought I was a pretty good kid
I've been blamed but I'm not ashed
Of a couple of things I did

I learned the golden rule
Before I started to school
Like ever'y little young'n should do
But what am I worth on God's great earth
If I'm not worth nothing to you

What am I worth here on earth
Darling, If I can't have you
I just can't find no peace of mind
With anything that I do

I don't know why you made me cry
Honey, won't you give me a clue
What am I worth on God's great earth
If I'm not worth nothing to you

I might get sent to be president
Yes, I'm sure I could do it for you
They would feature my face all over the place
For all the good thing I do

I might get my name in the hall of fame
Or even in the book of who's who
But what am I worth on God's great earth
If I'm mot worth anything to you

What am I worth here on earth
Darling, If I can't have you
I just can't find no peace of mind
With anything that I do

I don't know why you made me cry
Honey, won't you give me a clue
What am I worth on God's great earth
If I'm not worth nothing to you...

"What I Didn't Do"

"What I Didn't Do"


I didn't cheat and I didn't lie so her leaving took me by surprise
Just a note on the table saying we're through
At first I went crazy so it took me sometime
But I finally read between the lines
It's not what I did it's what I didn't do.

I didn't tell her each day I loved her
I took it for granted and somehow she knew
I didn't hold her when she needed a shoulder
It's not what I did it's what I didn't do.

Now it's easy to see why her love died
She was planning her nights by the T.V. Guide
She needed me with her, oh, more than I knew
I was too busy working, getting ahead
When I should of been home loving her instead
It's not what I did it's what I didn't do.

I didn't tell her each day I loved her
I took it for granted and somehow she knew
I didn't hold her when she needed a shoulder
It's not what I did it's what I didn't do.

It's not what I did it's what I didn't do...

"What I Do Best"

"What I Do Best"


I guess I finally found what I do best.

I always knew there was something I'd be good at
Every man has something he does better than the rest
I still can't believe how much I miss you
And I guess I finally found what I do best.

When it came to lovin' oh you were something
I took all the love you gave and I surely made a mess
Yes, I lost in love but in sadness I've been successful
Yes, I guess I finally found what I do best.

They say that every man has given talent
But if hurtin' is a talent then I know that I've been blessed
Oh, missing you just seems to come so natural
And I guess I finally found what I do best.

Oh, if there's something I wish I wasn't good at
But I guess I deserve what I do best

"What My Woman Can't Do"

"What My Woman Can't Do"


(What my woman can't do, can't be done)

It amazes me how she can change my mind
When it seems to be impossible, she can do it every time
And the way she's always loves me, she's got that down perfect too
I keep asking myself what is it the lady can't do'

She brightens any room she walks inside
And the way she comes in smiling you'd never think she ever cries
She still looks as young and pretty as she did the day we met
If there is one thing bad about her, I ain't found it yet.

What it is my woman can't do, can't be done
If there's ever been a darling, I've got one
She beats all I've ever seen, she's the champion of our team
What my woman can't do, can't be done.

What my woman can't do, can't be done

"What's Bad For You Is Good For Me"

"What's Bad For You Is Good For Me"


I had a talk with one of your old friends in town today
And she told me that your new love went astray
Now isn't that just the way I said it would be
Come on back home what's bad for you is good for me.

It's good for me to have this chance to win your love again
It's bad for you to lose his love but this is not the end
Still lets pretend to move along that used to be
Come on back home what's bad for you is good for me.

I knew if I'd wait long enough someday he'd set you free
He'd find someone to take your place like he took you from me
And now you know just how it feels in misery
Come on back home what's bad for you is good for me

"What's In Our Hearts"

"What's In Our Hearts"


Everybody tells me you're a cheater
Yes and everybody says you cheated too
Should we believe them and let them tear our love apart
Or should we believe what's in our hearts

I believe in my heart the one I love is true
And I'd never take a chance on losing you
Side by side hand in hand we'll never be apart
Just as long as we believe what's in our hearts

Only your two lips could make me happy
And I'm sure you know I feel the same way too
Together we will share a tender love no one can part
Just as long as we believe what's in our hearts

I believe in my heart the one I love is true...
