"Got My Heart Set On You"

"Got My Heart Set On You"


Ever since the day I met you, I feel like I'm walking on air.
And lately I'm convinced, it's no coincidence I run into you everywhere.
And though I've heard your love is taken, I gotta believe what's in your eyes.
Would I be out of line if I suggested a time and we get together one of these nights.
Got my heart set on you, you're everything that I ever wanted.
Got my heart set on you, it can't be anything but love. Baby I'm betting on it.

I don't want to give you the wrong impression.
I'm not the kind who rushes in, but baby every time I see you,
before I even leave you I can hardly wait to see you again.
I got my heart set on you, you're everything that I ever wanted.
Got my heart set on you, it can't be anything but love. Baby I'm betting on it.

I don't mean to be coming on strong or taking anything for granted,
but love is a thing that just comes along.
You don't understand how it got out of hand, but you're in it right from the start.
I got my heart set on you, you're everything that I ever wanted.
Got my heart set on you, it can't be anything but love. Baby, I'm betting on it.

"Grandma's Feather Bed"

"Grandma's Feather Bed"


When I was a little bitty boy, just up off a floor,
we used to go down to Grandma's house every month end or so.
We'd have chicken pie and country ham, homemade butter on the bread.
But the best darn thing about Grandma's house was her great big feather bed.
It was nine feet wide, and six feet high, soft as a downy chick
It was made from the feathers of forty-eleven geese,
took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick.
It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs and a piggy we stole from the shed.
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed.

After supper we'd sit around the fire, the old folks would spit and chew.
Pa would talk about the farm and the war, and Granny'd sing a ballad or two.
I'd sit and listen and watch the fire till the cobwebs filled my head,
next thing I'd know I'd wake up in the morning
in the middle of the old feather bed.

It was nine feet wide, and six feet high, soft as a downy chick
It was made from the feathers of forty-eleven geese,
took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick.
It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs and a piggy we stole from the shed.
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed.

Well I love my Ma, I love my Pa, I love Granny and Grandpa too.
I been fishing with my uncle, I ras'led with my cousin, I even kissed Aunt Lou, ew!
But if I ever had to make a choice, I guess it oughta be said
that I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road for Grandma's feather bed.
I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road...
I'll have to reconsider 'bout the gal down the road:

It was nine feet wide, and six feet high, soft as a downy chick
It was made from the feathers of forty-eleven geese,
took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick.
It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs and a piggy we stole from the shed.
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed.
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed.

"Gravel On The Ground"

"Gravel On The Ground"


If our lives could lie before us like a straight and narrow highway
so that we could see forever, long before we took the ride,
we would never look to heaven, make a wish or climb a mountain,
'cause we'd always know the answer what's on the other side.
But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground.
You pay for every mile you go to spread some dust around.
But we all have destinations, and the dust will settle down,
this life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground.

So let's walk the road together, who knows what we'll find tomorrow.
Maybe good times, maybe sorrow will be waiting round the bend
Given time, two hearts discover what they're feeling for each other.
At the best we'll end up lovers, at the least we'll make a friend.
But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground.
You pay for every mile you go to spread some dust around.
But we all have destinations, and the dust will settle down,
But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground.
You pay for every mile you go to spread some dust around.
But we all have destinations, and the dust will settle down,
this life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground.

"Happy Trails"

"Happy Trails"


Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smiling until then.
Who cares about the clouds if we're together,
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you, 'til we meet again.

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"


Have yourself a merry little Christmas, let your heart be light.
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, make the Yuletide gay.
From now on, your troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days, happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us gather near to us once more.

Through the years we all will be together if the Fates allow.
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

"Heart To Heart"

"Heart To Heart"


I haven't seen all there is to see but I've seen quite a bit.
Some things I'll always remember, some things I wish that I could forget.
I haven't quite been around the world but I've been around the block.
I know that distances are meaningless like the hands that move around a clock.
And I know that love is everywhere, always safe, always true.
And exactly where it comes from is where it's going to.
Your heart to mine, my heart to yours. Talk about opening windows, talk about opening doors.
My heart to yours, your heart to mine, love is a light that shines from heart to heart.

Here I am sitting in old Hong Kong, the harbor and the lights,
they're like diamonds in the heavens, enough to brighten the darkest of nights.
There's another side to sorrow as there is to everything,
like the other side of lonely is falling in love again.
And then you'll know that there's an answer to the suffering we see,
and though it isn't easy, it's still as simple as you and me.
And you'll know that love is everywhere, always safe, always true.
And exactly where it comes from is where it's going to.
Your heart to mine, my heart to yours. Talk about opening windows, talk about opening doors.
My heart to yours, your heart to mine, love is a light that shines from heart to heart.
Your heart to mine, my heart to yours. Talk about opening windows, talk about opening doors.
My heart to yours, your heart to mine, love is a light that shines from heart to heart.

"Hey Old Pal"

"Hey Old Pal"


Hey old pal
How've you been doing
I'm really not foolin'
I'm so glad to see you
Hey old pal
My life's been kind of crazy
I'm ready to be lazy
Hangin' around with you

Well even in the very, very worst of times
There's one thing that I know
The way to guarantee
A little peace of mind
Is a walk in the woods
A friend by your side
And here we go

Hey old pal
It's great to be here with you
The thing I'd like to give you
Is a real good time
Hey old pal
I really can't believe it
But now that you can see it
It looks just fine

What a chance to play and sing
And have some fun
The day should never end
This will be a Rocky Mountain holiday
With you and me
And all we can see
And all of our friends

Hey old pal
We must be daydreamin'
At least the things we're seein'
Are a dream come true
Hey there gang
It's great to be together
It just keeps gettin' better
I can promise you

This is going to be
The very best of times
And we will make it so
No more hustle and bustle
And no more telephone lines
And now that we're here
Let's grab all our gear
And off we go

"Hey There, Mister Lonely Heart"

"Hey There, Mister Lonely Heart"


Hey there, Mr. lonely heart, if you could find the time,
I would like to sit and talk, to see if we could find
the answer to the mystery of love's most precious seed.
Is it in a touch or in a kiss or simply in the need?
Or is it really love itself that always wants to give
the heart and soul of all of us and everything that lives?

Hey there, Mr. cold, cold heart, I know I could be wrong
to think that life could be so sweet and love could be so strong as to gather everyone of us,
like one big family, to share with one another all we have all we see.
It's true the deepest part of us is everywhere, the same.
And that the only differences are really just the names.

We can join the children's song and show them that we care,
let them know we're on their side, no matter when or where.
We can free their hearts from fear and hunger, reconcile.
We can give a child a chance and give a child a smile.
True love is still the answer, and we are still the way,
the gift is in the giving, and in living, what we say.

And if you have a lonely heart, this song is just for you,
to ask for all that you can give and all that you can do.
Remember that the mystery of love's most precious seed
is in the heart of all of us, true love is all we need.
It's in the heart of all us, true love is all we need.
Within the heart of all of us, true love is all we need.
Within the heart of all of us, true love is all we need.
Within the heart of all of us, true love is all we need
Within the heart of all of us, true love is all we need.
Within the heart of all of us, true love is all we need.

"High Wind Blowin'"

"High Wind Blowin'"


There's such a high wind blowing and it's snowing in my bed.
Oh, baby, you started flowers growing where nothing grew instead.
I need something to hide the failure of my garden and the way it grew.
Oh, baby, I didn't know I could depend on you.
It's such a high wind blowing, I won't get to sleep tonight.
I think that warm wind feel's all right.
It's such a high wind blowing, I won't get to sleep at all.
I feel like I'm gonna fall into your fine, high wind.

You look like twilight falling on the ocean in the setting sun.
Oh, baby, do you know what you have done?
I feel like you have changed my mind about living the way I do.
Oh, baby, I didn't know I could depend on you.
It's such a high wind blowing, I won't get to sleep tonight.
I think that warm wind feel's all right.
It's such a high wind blowing, I won't get to sleep at all.
I feel like I'm gonna fall into your fine, high wind.

"High, Wide And Handsome"

"High, Wide And Handsome"


Down from the great white north, more than enough and then some.
Swept her up on his horse, Tumbleweeds, we're meant to get stuck up on a fence.
Heaven must have sent you, you've got no wire to roll against.
Keep her steady cowgirl, don't let go of the reins.
You are ready now girl, never mind the growing pains.

Worlds out there are waiting, big and wild as the sky.
No more hesitating, it's now or never, do or die.

Keep her steady cowgirl, don't let go of the reins.
You are ready now girl, never mind the growing pains.

As hard as you imagined it being without me, we'll both be wishing it were that easy.
Don't give me a pull, give me some room, when this round is through, I'll be coming back home.
Wide open spaces between these two prairie hearts,
wondering where their place is in a world so far apart.
Keep her steady cowgirl, don't let go of the reins.
You are ready now girl, never mind the growing pains.
