"I'd Rather Be Here With You"

"I'd Rather Be Here With You"



Here I'm far away
Singing my songs in a small cafe
The weather has been fine
I'd rather be here with you

Wrote a song the other day
I played guitar and it sounds ok
But if I had my choice
I'd rather be here with you

Guess you'd say I'm really doing well
Everybody seems to like my style
Hate to call 'cos I feel this way
You feel bad and don't know what to say

Friday night when I get paid
Gonna get a train heading to la
I hear they know my name
I'd rather be here with you

Here I am far away
Singing my songs in a small cafe
The weather has been fine
I'd rather be here with you

I'd rather be here with you
I'd rather be here with you

"I'll Be Easy To Find"

"I'll Be Easy To Find"



I'll be easy to find
When love comes looking for me
I'll stand there with my arms out
So that I'll be easy to see
No hide and seek,
No guessing games will I play
When love comes in to speak my name
I'll say, "Right this way"
The stars may fall from above
The moon may fade out of sight
But angels will be smiling
And my love will light up the night
Though fools may hide their feelings
And tell us love is blind
As for me, I'll be easy to find

No hide and seek,
No guessing games will I play
When love comes in to speak my name
I'll say, "Right this way"
The stars may fall from above
The moon may fade out of sight
But angels will be smiling
And my love will light up the night
Though fools may hide their feelings
And tell us love is blind
As for me, I'll be easy to find

"I'll Be Home For Christmas / White Christmas"
(performed with Vince Gill and Amy Grant)

"I'll Be Home For Christmas / White Christmas"
(performed with Vince Gill and Amy Grant)



I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

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
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

"I'll Be Seeing You"

"I'll Be Seeing You"



Cathedral bells were tolling
And our hearts sang on
Was it the spell of Paris
Or an April dawn?

Who knows if we shall meet again
But when the morning chimes
Ring sweet again, sweet again

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through

In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
The chestnut tree, the wishing well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
The chestnut tree, the wishing well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always, always think of you that way

I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

"I'll Buy You A Star"

"I'll Buy You A Star"



There's nothing that I know here on this earth good enough for you
So if I want to show you all your worth
I'd have to try shopping up in the sky

I'll buy you a star
Not just a star
But the best one in the sky
You'll have a cloud to sleep on
A cloud as light as an angel's sigh

A fine silver chain
Made from the rain of a summer afternoon
I'll buy you a star, my darling
But I won't rest until I buy the moon

A fine silver chain
Made from the rain of a summer afternoon
I'll buy you a star, my darling
But I won't rest until I buy the moon
But I won't rest until I buy the moon

"I'll Close My Eyes"

"I'll Close My Eyes"



Heaven sends a song through its doors
Just as if it seems to know, I'm exclusively yours
Knowing this, I feel but one way
You will understand too, in these words that I say

I'll close my eyes to everyone but you
And when I do, I'll see you standing there
I'll lock my heart to any other caress
I'll never say yes to a new love affair

I'll close my eyes to everything that's gay
If you're not there, to share each lovely day
And through the years, those moments
When we're far apart
I'll close my eyes and see you with my heart

I'll close my eyes to everything that's gay
Lord, if you are not there, to share each lovely day
And through the years those moments
When we're far apart
I'll close my eyes oh and see you with my heart

"I'll Never Fall In Love Again"

"I'll Never Fall In Love Again"



What do you get when you fall in love
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again, I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, he'll never phone ya'
I'll never fall in love again yeah, I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what it's all about
Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You get enough tears to fill an ocean
That's what you get for your devotion
I'll never fall in love again, I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what it's all about
Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So, for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again, I'll never fall in love again

I'll never, never fall in love again
Never fall in love again, again, again, again
Never

"I'm Always Chasing Rainbows"

"I'm Always Chasing Rainbows"



I'm always chasing rainbows
Watching clouds drifting by
My schemes are just like all my dreams
Ending in the sky

Some fellows look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain
Some fellows make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain, believe me

I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain

Some fellows look and find the sunshine
But I always look and find the rain
Some fellows make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain, believe me

I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain

"I'm Coming Home"

"I'm Coming Home"



Sittin' in a railway station with my suitcase in my hand
Goin' back where I came from, I've had more than I can stand
Of watchin' men destroy my dreams, they picked my brain till it was clean
When I was up they knocked me down
I ain't goin' to hang around, I'm goin' home

I'm goin' home, goin' home
Tell someone to meet me I'm comin' home

Came to this old town seeking fortune and some fame
Never got the chance to prove myself, though I tried to play their game
But usin' people just ain't my thing
And I don't dangle from any string
To please some fool that don't care about
They turned me inside out, I'm goin' home

I'm goin' home, goin' home
Tell someone to meet me I'm comin' home

Tell someone to meet me I'm comin' home

I'm goin' home, goin' home
Tell someone to meet me I'm comin' home

I'm goin' home, goin' home
Tell someone to meet me I'm comin' home

I'm goin' home, goin' home
Tell someone to meet me I'm comin' home

"I'm Glad There Is You"

"I'm Glad There Is You"



In this world of ordinary people
Extraordinary people, I'm glad there is you

In this world of over-rated pleasures
Of under-rated treasures, I'm glad there is you

I live to love, I love to live with you beside me
This role so new, I'll muddle through with you to guide me

In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love, I'm glad there is you
More than ever, I'm glad there is you

In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love, I'm glad there is you
More than ever, I'm glad there is you
