"Your Old Standby"

"Your Old Standby"


A shoulder to cry on is all you want from me
Someone to share your heartaches when you cry
Someone you can depend on, who will always be around
I'm nothing more than just your old standby

If you could call me darlin', if you could call me dear
If you could learn to love me by and by
I wouldn't mind this waiting, for I could stand the pain
I'd be more to you than just your old standby

You wouldn't call me darlin' and you wouldn't call me dear
I wonder if you'll miss me when I die
You have no consideration, and you show no sympathy
I'm nothing more than just your old standby

If you would call me darlin', if you would call me dear
If you could learn to love me by and by
I wouldn't mind this waiting, for I could stand the pain
I'd be something more than just your old standby...

"Your Smiling Face"

"Your Smiling Face"


I fell awake this morning and thought I saw the sun on its way down
And this evening when the sky got bright I realized that I'd been turnin' around
So Lord I've come again to ask you what it is and where it is I've been
And if my hands weren't worthy Lord I'd love to touch your shining face again

For I touched it as a child I could feel it for my brother
And I saw him smiling gentle your shining face upon the flowers

And I recalled the times when I could come to you with open heart and mind
Knowin' I could ask you Lord you'd lead me through the valley one more time
So now I stand before you Lord to pray that you will wash away my sins
And if you'll cleanse my dirty hands I'd love to touch your shining face again

For I touched it as a child I could feel it for my brother
And I saw him smiling gentle your shining face upon the flowers

Yes we touched it as a child
(Yes we touched it as a child)
We could feel it for each other
(We could feel it for each other)
And we saw him smiling gentle
(And we saw him smiling gentle)
His shining face among the flowers

"Your Steppin' Stone"

"Your Steppin' Stone"


I'll be your stepping stone while you keep stepping on
From him to him
I'll try to keep the pace just looking for a place
In your heart within

You told me once just how my kisses thrilled you
Since that time there's been many lips you've known
Now there you go again in love with someone new
And darling please, please don't miss your stepping stone

I'll be your stepping stone while you keep stepping on
From him to him
I'll try to keep the pace just looking for a place
In your heart within

In every step I want to be there helping
For it's love not jealousy that hangs me on
When you walk out on him look where you're stepping
And darling please don't miss your stepping stone

I'll be your stepping stone while you keep stepping on
From him to him
I'll try to keep the pace just looking for a place
In your heart within
