"Morning Song"

"Morning Song"



Let the phone ring, let's go back to sleep
Let the world spin outside out door, you're the only one that I wanna see
Tell your boss you're sick, hurry, get back in I'm getting cold
Get over here and warm my hands up, boy, it's you they love to hold
And stop thinking about what your sister said
Stop worrying about it, the cat's already been fed
Come on darlin', let's go back to bed
Put the phone machine on hold
Leave the dishes in the sink
Do not answer the door
It's you that I adore-
I'm gonna give you some more
We'll sit on the front porch, the sun can warm my feet
You can drink you coffee with sugar and cream
I'll drink my decaf herbal tea
Pretend we're perfect strangers and that we never met...
My how you remind me of a man I used to sleep with
that's a face I'd never forget
You can be Henry Miler and I'll be Anais Nin
Except this time it'll be even better,
We'll stay together in the end
Come on darlin', let's go back to bed
Put the phone machine on hold
Leave the dishes in the sink
do not answer the door
It's you that I adore-
I'm gonna give you some more

"My Father's Daughter"
(feat. Dolly Parton)

"My Father's Daughter"
(feat. Dolly Parton)



[Jewel:]
She stepped off of the boat to see flowers in his hands
The man she would marry was as hard as the mountains
She had his children in a log cabin
Soon I'd be another star in this family's constellation
In the land of the midnight sun
Searching for gold
I am my father's daughter
He has his mother's eyes
I am the product of her sacrifice
I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations
And their stories live in me like holy water
I am my father's daughter

[Dolly Parton:]
My father raised me in an old log cabin
And he sang for me the songs his mother sang to him
In honky-tonks, and empty bars, just me and him
And that old guitar
He passed on a legacy wrapped up in a melody
And I carry on
Searching for gold

[Jewel & Dolly Parton:]
I am my father's daughter
I have his eyes
I am the product of his sacrifice
I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations
And their stories live in me like holy water
I am my father's daughter

[Jewel:]
And every time I step on stage

[Dolly Parton:]
And the music finds me

[Jewel & Dolly Parton:]
I don't need gold to remind me

[Jewel:]
I am my father's daughter
I have my Grandma's eyes
I am the product of such sacrifice

[Jewel & Dolly Parton:]
I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations
And their stories live in me like holy water
I am my father's daughter
Oh, I am my father's daughter

"My Favorite Things"

"My Favorite Things"


Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

[Repeat all verses]

"Near You Always"

"Near You Always"



Please don't say I love you,
those words touch me much too deeply
and they make my core tremble
Don't think you realize the effect you have over me
Please don't look at me like that
It just makes me want to make you near me always
Please don't kiss me so sweet
it makes me crave a thousand kisses to follow
And please don't touch me like that
makes every other embrace seem pale and shallow
And please don't come so close
it just makes me want to make you near me always
Please don't bring me flowers
they only whisper the sweet things you'd say
Don't try to understand me
your hands already know too much anyway
It just makes me want to make you near me always
And when you look in my eyes
please know my heart is in your hands
It's nothing that I understand, but when in your arms
you have complete power over me
So be gentle if you please, 'cause
Your hands are in my hair, but my heart is in your teeth
And it makes me want to make you near me always
Your hands are in my hair, but my heart is in your teeth
And it makes me want to make you near me always
I want to be near you always
I want to be near you always
I want to be near you always

"Nicotine Love"

"Nicotine Love"



Go ahead touch me like that
The way you pull my head back
Go ahead, breathe me in
Bite me till I bleed
This love is like barbed wire running through my veins
Nicotine Love

Go ahead hurt me like that
I've been hurt before
I won't be fixed again
I'm not afraid to sweat
Cause I like the pain and it's familiar to me
And more gentle than most men will ever be
Nicotine Love

But don't get me wrong
I don't want a friend
Just need you here to help me satisfy this childish sin
This insatiable desire
Hunger so deep
You will melt on my tongue
And I will put you to sleep
And I'll press you like petals
Till you're fragile and thin
Then I'll breathe you in
Nicotine Love

It hurts just right
Not to know your name
But feel that body beneath me
Struggling as if in some strange way it were the same
As when I was with him
Gonna make you promise
That you'll peek
Then I will crush your little heart
Cause I can
Because it happened to me
Nicotine Love

So come here, baby
My honey, cutie-pie
Let my fingers swim like pale fish through your hair
So I can tell you that I love you
You'll say, "Never let me go"
You wonder why it is I'm here
But patience and soon it will be all too clear
Nicotine Love

But don't get me wrong
I don't want a friend
Just need you here to help me satisfy this childish sin
This insatiable desire
Hunger so deep
You will melt on my tongue
And I will put you to sleep
And I'll press you like petals
Till you're fragile and thin
Then I'll breathe you in
Nicotine Love

So go ahead touch me like that
The end is drawing near
Go ahead hurt me that way
You don't even know enough to fear
You don't know how true it is when you say
My kisses are sweet as death
But soon you'll have no more options
That's all you'll have left

Cause this love is like barbed wire
I'm electric and so alone
So come here, stray cat
I'm gonna take you home
And then I will press you like petals
Till you're fragile and thin
Then I'll breathe you in
Then I'll breathe you in
Nicotine Love

"No Good In Goodbye"

"No Good In Goodbye"


Once upon time used to feel so fine
I really mean to shine
we'd laugh like we were drunk on wine
no not anymore [x4]
Used to feel so good
used to laugh like we should
we did what we could
come on baby I'm sorry
would you open the door [x4]

[Chorus]
Baby don't say the stars are falling from your eyes
Baby just say, say you need me one more time
For you and I,
there is no good in goodbye

You know I used to love to leave,
always had something up my sleave,
I guess I mistook being alone for being free,
But no never again [x4]

[Chorus]

Yes I too was just like you,
finding comfort in a strangers face,
In a darkened place where no one knew my name
And I was slow to see that everything had changed
and I was sad to see that I would never be the same
Without you by my side I'd go insane,
Cause you make the world make sense
Baby, you make the world make sense

[Chorus]

"No More Heartaches"

"No More Heartaches"



Shut up, sweetheart, I want you to hear
I can no longer love the same thing I fear
I can no longer let myself stay close
To the one thing that hurts me the most
I will not kiss the thorn
Hearts don't need to bleed to know what they're for
There'll be no more heartaches
There'll be no more heartaches for me

I take back my sweetness
It's overlooked by your lust
My song is unseen
Cause your touch is too tough
I don't think your hands know how to adore
The subtlety of me anymore
I unfasten myself from your side
Slip away, quiet as a sigh
There'll be no more heartaches
There'll be no more heartaches for me

Beds filled with suspicion
Hearts filled with spite
We sleep with thieves
And forego our sights
Too quick to hold
Someone's word over our own
You may be cool
You may know how to flatter
In the end (all I have is matter ?)
There'll be no more heartaches
There'll be no more heartaches
No more heartache anymore
Anymore, oh oh oh, for me.

"O Holy Night"

"O Holy Night"



o holy night!
the stars are brightly shining
it is the night
of our dear savior's birth

long lay the world
in sin and error pining
till he appear'd
and the soul felt its worth
a thrill of hope
the weary world rejoices
for yonder breaks
a new and glorious morn
fall on your knees!
o, hear the angel voices!
o, night divine
o, night when Christ was born

o, night divine
o, night divine

o, night divine
o, night divine

"O Little Town Of Bethlehem"

"O Little Town Of Bethlehem"



o little town of bethlehem
how still we see thee lie!
above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by
yet in thy dark streets shineth
the ever lasting light
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight

for christ is born of mary
and gathered all above
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wandering love
o morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth
and praises sing to god the king
and peace to men on earth

o holy child of bethlehem!
descend to us, we pray
cast out our sin and enter in
be born in us today

we hear the christmas angels
the great glad tidings tell

o come to us, abide with us
our lord immanuel!
and peace to men on earth

"Oh! Susanna"

"Oh! Susanna"




I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana,
Susanna for to see
It rained all night
The day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot,
I froze myself
But Susanna, don't you cry

Oh, Susanna,
Don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee

I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Susanna
Coming down that hill
The buckwheat cake
Was in her mouth
The tear was in her eye
Says I, I'm coming from the south
Susanna, don't you cry

Oh, Susanna,
Don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee

Oh, Susanna,
Don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
