"I Missed Me"

"I Missed Me"

Last night was the worst night of my life no doubt
'Cause while I stayed at home someone else took you out
I cried 'cause I love you with all of my might
And I missed me, how I missed me at your house last night.

I missed holding hands walking out on your lawn
I missed the sweet kiss that was mine for so long
Were you happy with new arms
Wrapped around you so tight
I missed me, how I missed me at your house last night.

Did the neighbours say they noticed anything strange
Like a different car parked in your drive for a change
Did they watch as he kissed you beneath the porch light
Did they miss me like I missed me at your house last night.

I missed holding hands walking out on your lawn
I missed the sweet kiss that was mine for so long
Were you happy with new arms
Wrapped around you so tight
I missed me, how I missed me at your house last night...

"I Never Pass There Anymore"

"I Never Pass There Anymore"

There's a house just down the street
A welcome mat outside the door
But it's for him and not for me
I never pass there anymore.

Within this house there is a girl
I'll always adore
But I've been vanished from her world
I never pass there anymore.

Within this girl there is a heart
And in this part there is a love
But it's a love for someone else
I'm not the one she's dreaming of.

Yes, there's a house just down the street
I've been there many times before
But now it's best we never meet
I never pass there anymore.

Within this girl there is a heart
And in this part there is a love
But it's a love for someone else
I'm not the one she's dreaming of.

Yes, there's a house just down the street
I've been there many times before
But now it's best we never meet
I never pass there anymore...

"I Was Just Walkin' Out The Door"

"I Was Just Walkin' Out The Door"

I was just walkin' out the door
It's too bad you didn't come before
I waited so long, so long, so long
Now there's no time to wait anymore.

How I cried for you day and night
And for the letters that you didn't write
But now it's alright, alright, alright
You won't have to write anymore.

Not so long ago, you will never know
What this day to me could have been
But it's all changed now darling
Anyhow it was nice to see you again.

Well, it's almost a quarter to four
Sorry, I can't stay anymore
Must be on my way, this is my wedding day
And I was just walkin' out the door.
I was just walkin' out the door...

"I Won't Come In While He's There"

"I Won't Come In While He's There"

Thought I'd stop by awhile and see you
Just once more before I leave town
But his car's parked there in your driveway
And I see the curtain's pulled down.

I won't bother to ring your doorbell
I'm not sure just how much I can bear
I might do something I'd be sorry for later
So I won't come in while he's there.

Does he know my whole world is in there with him
That he's king while he sits there in my chair
I'd like to tell you just how much I still love you
But I won't come in while he's there.

No, I won't come in while he's there...

"I Won't Forget You"

"I Won't Forget You"

I won't forget you.

I know that I won't forget you
For I've loved you too much for too long
Though you don't want me now
I'll still love you
'til the breath in my body has gone

That's how it is with me
And you'll always be
The only love I ever knew
I'll forget many things in my life time
But my darling I won't forget you

That's how it is with me
And you'll always be
The only love I ever knew
I'll forget many things in my life time
But my darling I won't forget you.

"I'd Fight The World"

"I'd Fight The World"

I don't care what anybody thinks of me
My pride is gone and here I am on bended knee
I want you and I need you that's all I know
And I'd fight the world before I'd ever let you go.

I'd gladly beg, I'd steal or I'd borrow
I'd turn my back on everyone I know
I'd do these things with no fear of tomorrow
I'd fight the world before I'd ever let you go.

I want you and I need you that's all I know
And I'd fight the world before I'd ever let you go.

I'd gladly beg, I'd steal or I'd borrow
I'd turn my back on everyone I know
I'd do these things with no fear of tomorrow
Ask anything but tell me you won't go.

Yes, I'd fight the world before I'd ever let you go...

"I'd Rather Have Jesus"
(originally by George Beverly Shea)

"I'd Rather Have Jesus"
(originally by George Beverly Shea)

I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold,
I'd rather be His than have riches untold;
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land,
Yes, I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand.

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

I'd rather have Jesus than worldly applause,
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame,
I'd rather be true to His holy name.

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today...

"I'll Fly Away"

"I'll Fly Away"

Some glad morning when this life is o'er
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh Glory I'll fly away when I die
Hallelujah by and by I'll fly away

When the shadows of this life have flown
I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh Glory I'll fly away when I die
Hallelujah by and by I'll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh Glory yes I'll fly away when I die
Hallelujah by and by I'll fly away

"I'm A Fool To Care"

"I'm A Fool To Care"

I'm a fool to care
When you treat me this way
I know I love you
But what can I do
I'm a fool to care.

I'm a fool to cry
When you tell me goodbye
You left me so blue
When you were untrue
I'm a fool to care.

I know I should laugh
And call it a day
But I know I would cry
If you go away.

I'm a fool to care
When you don't care for me
Why should I pretend
I'd lose in the end
I'm a fool to care.

I'm a fool to care
When you don't care for me
Why should I pretend
I'd lose in the end
I'm a fool to care...

"I'm Crying Again"

"I'm Crying Again"

Ja ek verlang na jou my liefling
En ek droom van jou oe so blou
Ja ek dink net aan jou my liefling
En my hart is'n mantel van rou.

I gaze at the stars
With a prayer in my heart
I ask for bitter strength
Just to hate and depart.

Ja kom nou terug na my my liefling
Ek verlang na my liefling vanaand.

Toe jy my verlaat het
Is my wereld verskeur
Die son het ophou skyn
En die maan het verkleur.

So please come back to me my darling
can't you see that I'm crying again...
