"Gypsy Heart"

"Gypsy Heart"

Oh Gypsy heart when you hear
The whistle of a train
You forget the promise that you made
Down in lover's lane.

You forget the kiss is warm
The way you held her in your arms
You forget the way you thrilled her heart
With all your gypsy charms.

Ou ou oow
Hear the whistle blow
Ou ou oow
Away, away you go.

Gypsy heart, oh you want love
But not just any kind
You'll be the death of love for me
Oh gypsy heart of mine.

I met a girl Birmingham
With eyes so big and blue
I loved her since she said I can not roam
My dear, with you.

She said I want a little home
A heart to love and not to roam
I'm sure someday you'll find your own
A gypsy heart like you.

Ou ou oow
Hear the whistle blow
Ou ou oow
Away, away we go.

Up till now the girls you loved
Have been very smart
They know even the change of love
Can't bind this gypsy heart.

Gypsy heart the wind that blows
So far across the sea
Most of you will come along
There's Pretty things to see.

In Ireland there are fair colleens
And songs of long we know
And the lovely ladies down in Spain
Oh, gypsy heart let go.

Ou ou oow
Hear the whistle blow
Ou ou oow
Away, away you go.

Has been doin' everything
Since Noah sailed his ark
So we'll keep rolling 'til we find
Another gypsy heart..

"Have I Stayed Away Too Long?"

"Have I Stayed Away Too Long?"

Have I stayed away too long?
Have I stayed away too long?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?

The love light that shone so strong
Pretty love light that shone so strong
If I came home tonight, would that same light be burnin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?

I'm just outside of town
I'll soon be at your door
Maybe I'd be wrong to hurry there
I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more
For, maybe someone else has made you care.

Have all my dreams gone wrong?
All my beautiful dreams gone wrong?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?

"Have I Told You Lately That I Love You"

"Have I Told You Lately That I Love You"

Have I told you lately that I love you
Could I tell you once again somehow
Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you
Well darlin' I'm telling you now

My world would end today if I should lose you
I'm no good without you, anyhow
This heart would break in two if you refuse me
Well darlin' I'm telling you now

Have I told you lately how I miss you
When the stars are shining in the sky
Have I told you why the nights are long
When you're not with me
Well darlin' I'm telling you now

My world would end today if I should lose you
I'm just no good without you, anyhow
This heart would break in two if you refuse me
My darlin', I'm telling you now...

"Have Thine Own Way, Lord"

"Have Thine Own Way, Lord"

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now,
As in Thy presence humbly I bow.

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Hold o'er my being, absolute sway!
Filled with Thy spirit 'till all can see
Christ only, always, living in me...

"Have You Ever Been Lonely (Have You Ever Been Blue)"
(feat. Patsy Cline)

[Both:] Have you ever been lonely
[Jim Reeves:] Have you ever been blue
[Patsy Cline:] Have you ever loved someone
[Jim Reeves:] Just as I love you?

[Jim Reeves:] Can't you see that I'm sorry
For each mistake I made?
[Patsy Cline:] Can't you see I've changed, dear?
Can't you see that I've paid?

[Jim Reeves:] Be a little forgivin'
Take me back in your heart.
[Patsy Cline:] How can I go on livin'
Now that we're apart?

If you knew what I been thru
You would know why I ask you
[Both:] Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue?

You would know why I ask you
[Both:] Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue....

"He Will"

"He Will"

He will open up the doorway you never knew was there
He will show you many things you knew not hour
He will let you know he listens to your every prayer
He will save you by the mercy of His love.

He will guide you through life battles, He will give you power
He will answer when you call Him night or day
He will shine His light upon you in the darkest hour
He will love you and go with you all the way.

He will take you by the hand and lead you as you would a child
Down the straight and narrow aisle to satan's mill
He will take you when the time is right and in just a little while
He will love you and go with you all the way.

He will give you life eternal
He will
He will...

"Heartbreak In Silhouette"

"Heartbreak In Silhouette"

I listened to an old friend
Describe the girl he'd met
In memory I could see her
Heartbreak in silhouette.

He said her hair was golden
Her eyes were violet
It surely had to be her
Heartbreak in silhouette.

He said, that when he kissed her
Her kisses were like wine
And suddenly I wondered
If she'd break his heart like mine?

But I sat there in silence
And smoked my cigarette
His heart would soon discover
Heartbreak in silhouette.

With shining eyes he told me
About the night they'd met
My own heart kept remembering
Heartbreak in silhouette.

Outside the rain kept falling
Recalling old regrets
Then she stood in the doorway
Heartbreak in silhouette.

At first she didn't see us
Because the lights were dim
As she chetted with her new love
She had eyes for only him.

My friend sat that there in silence
And not one word was said
Two broken hearts were sharing
Heartbreak in silhouette.
Heartbreak in silhouette...

"Highway To Nowhere"

"Highway To Nowhere"

I'm traveling the highway to nowhere
'Cause I can't find the road to your heart
This old road is so rough and so rocky
I get lost on the highway to your heart.

This highway to nowhere keeps calling
Your heart's at the end of the line
But I always get lost on a detour
I guess I don't understand the signs.

I've travelled this highway so long now
But I know I'm no closer to your heart
Down this long lonesome road I'll keep traveling
Though I know I've been lost from the start.

This highway to nowhere I'll follow
The road's dark but I keep trudging on
And tomorrow I'll be back where
I started it's the highway to nowhere that I'm on...

"How Long Has It Been"

"How Long Has It Been"

How long has it been since you talked with the Lord
And told him your heart's hid in secrets?
How long since you prayed?
How long since you stayed on your knees till the light shone through?

How long has it been since your mind felt at ease?
How long since your heart knew no burden?
Can you call him your friend?
How long has it been since you knew that he cared for you?

How long has it been since you knelt by your bed
And prayed to the Lord up in heaven?
How long since you knew that he'd answer you
And would keep you the long night through?

How long has it been since you woke with the dawn
And felt this day is worth living?
Can you call him your friend?
How long has it been since you knew that he cared for you?..

"How Many?"

"How Many?"

If all the guys you ever knew
Were standing here in front of you
I wonder just how many there would be.

If everyone you ever kissed
Was put on paper in a list
I wonder just how many there would be.

You must have kissed a million
For everywhere we go
You seem so well acquainted
The way they smile and say hello.

If I could count their broken hearts
like I would have if we should part
I wonder just how many there would be.

If all the guys you ever knew
Were standing here in front of you
I wonder just how many there would be.

If everyone you ever kissed
Was put on paper in a list
I wonder just how many there would be.

You must have kissed a million
For everywhere we go
You seem so well acquainted
The way they smile and say hello.

If I could count their broken hearts
like I would have if we should part
I wonder just how many there would be...
