Fortune I've Gone Through

Fortune I've Gone Through

I've had a lot of pleasure on the worthless foolish pleasures
I sincerly lost a fortune when I lost you
I would've changed all of my decisions if I had yesterday permission
No one knows the fortune I've gone through.

I never knew that I could waste it
Till it was much to late to change it
Like a fool I didn't know my world was you
There's no way to count or measure
For like the cost of love on paper

No one knows the fortune I've gone through.

No one knows the fortune I've gone through...

Four-o-thirty-three

Four-o-thirty-three

We're the two new people that moved to the middle of the block.

An' we're the talk of the town, an' don't you think we're not.

For we've got love an' happiness; people envy us, you see.

For we found Heaven right here on earth at Four-O-Thirty-Three.



Yes, we found what most people are lookin' for.

An' there's not a lotta money to spend on a real fine car.

But it's a window where a bird flies an' sings so free.

An' there's a whole lotta windows in this little house at Four-O-Thirty-Three.



The 4,000 lot proves what true love can do.

Once a lonely place that was sold to me an' you.



Oh, all around the house you can see little children play.

An' they're not all other people's kids, we're proud to say.

They are the symbol of our love for all the world to see.

They're part of Heaven right here on earth at Four-O-Thirty-Three.



At all hours of the day, you can see many people drive by.

For a look at the house they think fell from the sky.

They think that this place would make them happy as you an' me.

Now the whole town's tryin' to buy this house at Four-O-Thirty-Three.



The 4,000 lot proves what true love can do.

Once a lonely place that was sold to me an' you.



Oh, all around the house you can see little children play.

An' they're not all other people's kids, we're proud to say.

They are the symbol of our love for all the world to see.

They're part of Heaven right here on earth at Four-O-Thirty-Three.



We're not a-gonna sell our happy little house at Four-O-Thirty-Three.

Wouldn't take a pretty penny for our lucky little house at Four-O-Thirty-Three...

Fraulein

Fraulein

Far across the blue water
Lives an old German's daughter
By the banks of the old river Rhine
Where I loved her and left her
But I can't forget her
I miss my pretty Fraulein.

Fraulein, Fraulein
Walked down by the river
Pretend that your hand's holdin' mine
By the same stars above you
I swear that I love you
I love my pretty Fraulein.

--- Insrumental ---


When my memories wander
Away over yonder
To that sweetheart that I left behind
In the moment of glory
A face comes before me
The face of my pretty Fraulein.

Fraulein, Fraulein
Looked up towards the heavens
Pretend that your hand's holding mine
By the same stars above you
I swear that I'd love you
I love my pretty Fraulein...

From Here To The Door

From Here To The Door

Well it's only my love you are taking
And it's only my heart you are breaking
For you it will be only footstep you're taking
But it's my lifetime from here to the door
From here to the door is your freedom
To you a short walk cross the floor
If you go now this house will be a prison
Cause it's my lifetime from here to the door
There you stand now but I guess that you're going
Where I failed you of no way of knowing
To you it's no more than a cold wind that's blowing
It's my lifetime from here to the door
From here to the door is your freedom...
Yes it's my lifetime from here to the door

From Strangers To Lovers To Friends

From Strangers To Lovers To Friends

I'm really glad that you called me
I'm unhappy you found someone new
I've been looking myself and if I'd find someone else
First so I'm telling is you.

We're better off to have known love
We're more than we might have been
How many can say they went all the way
From strangers to lovers to friends.

Things could have turned out much different
We could have been strangers again
We were lucky to learn watched the bridge has been burned

Only fools try to cross it again.

Oh, I know that I'm going to miss you
And although I'm hurt now and then
I'll never regret what we went through to get
From strangers to lovers to friends.

I'm not one that sorry I loved you
Or not do it all over again
I remember we cried when we walked side by side
From strangers to lovers to friends...

Funny How Time Slips Away

Funny How Time Slips Away

Well hello there my it's been a long long time
How am I doin' oh I guess that I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now but it seems now it was only yesterday
Gee ain't it funny how time slips away
How's your new love I hope that he's doin' fine
I heard you told him that you'd love him till the end of time
Now that's the same thing that you told me seems like just the other day

Gee ain't it funny how time slips away
I gotta go now I guess I'll see you around
Don't know when though never know when I'll be back in town
But remember what I tell you in time you're gonna pay
And it's surprising how time slips away

Geronimo

Geronimo

The pages of the history books can tell you of his fame
And the fear that struck the settlers at the mention of his name
And in Mexico they won't forget the vengence of this man
Who blazed a bloody battle trail and terrorized their land.

Geronimo (Geronimo.)

He blazed a bloody battle trail and terrorized their land
(And terrorized their land.)

Some called him a runagade and some called him cheif
Some called him a warrior and some called him a theif
But this Cherakowa red man no braver hero falls
Apache brave and no ones slave he feared no man at all.

Geronimo (Geronimo.)

Apache brave and no ones slave he feared no man at all
(He feared no man at all.)

And no matter where he wandered
No matter where you go
His name will live forever
The famed Geronimo (the famed Geronimo.)

Geronimo (Geronimo.)
Geronimo (Geronimo.)
Geronimo (Geronimo...)

Get Some Loving Done

Get Some Loving Done

I gotta get up and get some loving done
My life's so poor ain't been much fun
Well I got myself a woman and I know that you're the one
And I'll get up and get me some loving done
I've been sittin' in the corner of the world much too long
And you came by and gave me a happy song
Now my lonesome days are through and I'll give my heart to you
And I'll get up and get me some loving done
I gotta get up and get some loving done...
You're my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
And you're the prettiest woman I could ever know
When I look at you and see the whole world belongs to me
So I'll get up and get me some loving done
I gotta get up and get some loving done...
And I'll get up and get me some loving done

Getting Over The Storm

Getting Over The Storm

Guess I'm hurt because of your leaving
I know for sometime I will be
I still see the cloud that brought sadness
And the blue rain is still part of me.

But real soon you may see me lonesome
And once more see my will to go on
Yes, I'll admit I'm still under the weather
But darling, I'm gettin' over the storm.

I'm gettin' over the storm, I'm gettin' better
For the first time there's no sign of rain
While this is appearing and my skies are clearing
I feel the harsh wind of first growing pain.

--- Instrumental ---


Once you said that I'd never forget you
At the end of my first you will see
That I'll find the love I've treasured
There's a new life just waitin' for me.

I can see the new rays of sunshine
Early pain that I knew have all gone
Yes, I'll admit I'm still under the weather
But darling, I'm gettin' over the storm.

I'm gettin' over the storm, I'm gettin' better
For the first time there's no sign of rain
While this is appearing and my eyes are clearing
I feel the harsh wind of first growing pain...

Girl I Almost Knew

Girl I Almost Knew

I'll only miss your tears in my eyes
A tear that's been a prisoner way to long
The fool that's made excuses for your lies
Now confessin' the love he's never known.

You're the girl who almost gave heart to me
You're the girl who almost made my dreams come true
Forever in my mind there'll be a memory
Of a stranger, the girl I almost knew.

--- Instrumental ---

Each day I told myself you'll change tomorrow
For a fool in love will hide what's right or wrong
Behind my back you planted seeds with sorry
And they grew till the hurt became full grown.

You're the girl who almost gave heart to me
You're the girl who almost made my dreams come true
Forever in my mind there'll be a memory
Of a stranger the girl I almost knew...
