"When Two Worlds Collide"

"When Two Worlds Collide"



Your world was so different
From mine don't you see
We just couldn't be close
Though we tried.

We both reached for heavens
But ours weren't the same
That's what happens
When two worlds collide.

Your world was made up
Of things sweet and good
My world could never
Fit in, wish it could.

Two hearts lie in shambles
And oh. how they've cried
That's what happens
When two worlds collide

Your world was made up
Of things sweet and good
My world could never
Fit in, wish it could.

Two hearts lie in shambles
And oh. how they've cried
That's what happens
When two worlds collide...

"When You Are Gone"

"When You Are Gone"



When you are gone
There's no fun with the crowd
I find myself crying
Even crying out loud.

I could find fun
But I'd still be alone
'Cause my world simply stands still
When you are gone.

When you are gone
My heart knows it well
And it just won't believe
These stories I tell.

Just can't get used to
This being alone
And there's nothing to live for
When you are gone.

When you are gone
My heart knows it well
And it just won't believe
All these stories I tell.

Just can't get used to
This being alone
And there's nothing to live for
When you are gone...

"Where Do I Go From Here"

"Where Do I Go From Here"



Where do I go from here?
What fate is drawing near?
Touch my heart
And guide my lips in prayer.

Through the grace of God alone
I'll cast aside these fears I've known
And lift myself from
The depths of deep dispair.

Lead me through the darkness
And through each gloomy day.
Take my hand, oh, precious Lord
And help me on my way.

Give me strength that I might find
Abiding faith and peace of mind
And I won't ask
Where do I go from here?

Please, Lead me through the darkness
And through each gloomy day.
Take my hand, oh, precious Lord
And help me on my way.

Give me strength that I might find
Abiding faith and peace of mind
And I won't ask
Where do I go from here?

"Where Do I Go To Throw A Picture Away"

"Where Do I Go To Throw A Picture Away"



I'm kissin' your picture, goodbye
And I hate to treat it this way
But you said to forget all that reminds me of you
So I must throw your picture away.
I must throw your picture away.

How can I just cast aside
A love that's in my heart to stay
Where do I go to throw a picture away?
Where do I go to throw a picture away?

I know I won't forget
All that reminds me of you
When I can look at your picture each day
It's a paper impression
A most prized possession
Where do I go to throw a picture away?
Where do I go to throw a picture away?

How can I just cast aside
A love that's in my heart to stay
Where do I go to throw a picture away?
Where do I go to throw a picture away?...

"Where Does A Broken Heart Go?"

"Where Does A Broken Heart Go?"



Where does a broken heart go?
Does it just fade away?
Is it lost forever?
Will it live again someday?

How can a broken heart
Live on with more than its share
When it knows the game is lost
And it's hopeless to care?

When a heart has taken
'Bout all it can stand
Is it then protected
With God's loving hand?

Where does a broken heart go
When it dies of pain?
Is there a heaven for broken hearts
Will it live again?

Is it then protected
With God's loving hand?

Where does a broken heart go
When it dies of pain?
Is there a heaven for broken hearts
Will it live again?...

"Where We'll Never Grow Old"

"Where We'll Never Grow Old"



I have heard of a land
On the faraway strand
This a beautiful home of the soul
Built by Jesus on high
There we never shall die
This the land where we'll never grow old.

Never grow old, never grow old
In the land where we'll never grow old
Never grow old, never grow old
In the land where we'll never grow old.

When our work here is done
And the life's crown is won
And our troubles and trials are o'er
All our sorrow will end
And our voices will blend
With the loved ones who've gone on before.

Never grow old, never grow old
In the land where we'll never grow old
Never grow old, never grow old
In the land where we'll never grow old...

"Whispering Hope"

"Whispering Hope"



Soft as the voice of an angel
Breathing a lesson unheard
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers a comforting word.

Wait, till the darkness is over
Wait, till the tempest is done
Hope, for the sunshine tomorrow
After the darkness is gone.

Whispering hope,
Oh how welcome Thy voice
Making my heart
Any sorrow rejoice.

If in the dusk of the twilight
Dimmed be the region afar
Will not the deepening darkness
Brightin' the glittering star.

Then when the night is upon us
Why should the heart sink away
When the dark midnight is over
Watch for the breaking of day.

Whispering hope,
Oh how welcome Thy voice
Making my heart
Any sorrow rejoice...

"White Christmas"

"White Christmas"



(May all your Chrisymases)
(Be merry and bright)

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

(I'm dreaming of a white Christmas)
(Just like the ones I used to know)
(Where the treetops glisten)
(And children listen)
(To hear sleigh bells in the snow)

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white...

"Why Do I Love You (Melody Of Love)"

"Why Do I Love You (Melody Of Love)"


[Spoken]
Why do I love you?

I love you not only for what you are
But for what I am when I'm with you.

I love you not only for what you've made of yourself
But for what you're making of me.

I love you for ignoring the possibilities of the fool in me
And for laying firm hold of the possibilities for good in me.

Why do I love you?

I love you for closing your eyes to the dischords
And for adding to the music in me by worshipful listening.

I love you because you're helping to make of the lumber of
My life, not a tavern but a temple, and out of the words
Of my everyday not a reproach but a song.

I love you because you have done more than any creed
To make me happy.

You have done it without a word, without a touch,
Without a sign. You have done it just by being yourself
And after all, perhaps that's what love means...

"Yonder Comes A Sucker"

"Yonder Comes A Sucker"


[Chorus]
Railroad, Steamboat, River and Canal
Younder comes A sucker and he's got my gal
And she's gone,gone,gone
And she's gone,gone,gone
And I bid her my last fairwell.

I fell in love with A pretty little thing
I thought that wedding bells would ring
She was sweat as sweat could be
Til I found out what she did to me

[Chorus]

I ask her mother to let her go
She whispered mother please tell him, no!
Tho' he may think that I am true
There are plenty more, who'll think so too.

[Chorus]

Now I won't cry my life away
Some other sucker will have to pay
And when he finds that she is gone
I guess I'll hear him sing this song

[Chorus]
