"If We Only Have Love"

"If We Only Have Love"



If we only have love
Then tomorrow will dawn
And the days of our years
Will arise on that morn

If we only have love
To embrace without fears
We will kiss with our eyes
We will sleep without tears

If we only have love
We can reach those in pain
We can heal all our wounds
We can use our own names

If we only have love
We can melt all the guns
And then give the new world
To our daughters and sons

If we only have love
With our arms opened wide
Then the young and the old
Will stand at our side

If we only have love
We will never bow down
We'll be tall as the pines
Neither heros, nor clowns

If we only have love
To be shared by all men
Then we'll break from the grave
To be born once again

If we only have love
If we only have love
If we only have love!

"If You Asked Me To"

"If You Asked Me To"


Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believed in love
It's been a long time since I've had that feeling
I could love someone, I could trust someone

I say that never let nobody near my heart again, darling
I say, I'd never let nobody in but

If you asked me to, I'd just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to, I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to, if you asked me to

Somehow ever since I've been around you
Can't go back to being on my own
(On my own)
Can't help feeling, darling, since I've found you
That I've found my home, that I'm finally home

I say like never let nobody get too close to me, darling
I said, "I needed, needed to be free but"

If you asked me to, I'd just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to, I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever

If you asked me to and I will give my world
(Give my world)
To you, baby, I need you now
(I need you now)
Ask me too and I will do anything
(Anything)
For you, baby, for you baby

(If you asked me to)
I'll give you my heart
(If you asked me to)
I could trust someone
(If you asked me to)
I'll do anything, I'll do anything

(If you asked me to)
I could love someone, I could trust someone
(If you asked me to)
And let you in my heart
Can't go back to being on my own
(If you asked me to)
[Incomprehensible]
(If you asked me to)

"If You Could Read My Mind"

"If You Could Read My Mind"



If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost
That you can see
If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
That kind the drugstores sell
When you reach the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
The heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take
I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets spurned in a three way script
Ends up number two
The movie queen to play the scene
A bringing all the good things out in me
But for now, love, let's be real
I never thought I could feel this way
And I got to say
That I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movies
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
Stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You know that I'm just trying to understand
The feelings that you lack
I've never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say
That I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back

"In Other Words (Fly Me To The Moon)"
(originally by Felicia Sanders)



Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars

In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me

Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for
All I worship and adore

In other words please be true
In other words I love you

"In Return"

"In Return"



All I had to give
Was a broken heart, torn apart
That's all I had to give
All I had to give
Was an empty hope and promises
But in return He gave me joy
That could never be told
And in return he gave me love
That was more precious than gold
So whatever you have to give
You don't have to be ashamed
Just come as you are
And present it in Jesus name

For in return of a torn life
He'll give you life abundantly
And in return of a raging storm
The Lord will calm the sea
So whatever you have
The Lord has so much more
So what do you have to give

Oh if you were like me
You didn't have a lot of gold
Position or money
You didn't own wealth untold
But I'm glad He didn't look on the things that I had
But he looked and gave me all, all that I need

Oh for in return He gave me joy
That could never be told
And in return He gave me love
That was more precious, more precious than gold
In return of a torn life
He gave me life abundantly
And in return of a raging storm
The Lord will calm the sea
So what do you have to give

"In The Still Of The Night"

"In The Still Of The Night"



In the still of the night as I gaze from my window
At the moon in its flight, my thoughts all stray to you
In the still of the night, while the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number, darling, when I say to you

"Do you love me as I love you"
Are you my life to be, my dream come true?"
Or will this dream of mine, fade out of sight
Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill
In the chill still of the night

"In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning"

"In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning"



In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake thinking of the girl
Never even think of counting sheep

While the whole wide world has learned it's lesson
She'd be yours if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
It's the time I miss her most of all

In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake thinking of the girl
Never even think of counting sheep

While the whole wide world has learned it's lesson
She'd be yours if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
It's the time I miss her most off all

"In Wisconsin"

"In Wisconsin"



You ride in the park and you're peeking
Piss pools in your seat
She's standing inside but you surely repeat
Oh God don't leave me here
I will freeze till the end
Love is loves reprieve

Winter is coming and you're stacking
All your summer sheets
Now when the wind blows you cover your
And our tool shed where you trade in your blues
Love is loves sad news

That was Wisconsin that was yesterday
Now I have nothing that I can keep
Cause every place I go I take another place with me
Love is loves mystique

You're up on the bar and your shaking
With every grimy word
Who will love
What's love when you've hurt
Wherever is your scene the snow kissed the curb
Love is loves return

That was Wisconsin that was yesterday
Now I have nothing that I can keep
Cause every place I go I take another place with me
Love is loves critique

"Isn't It A Pity?"

"Isn't It A Pity?"



Isn't it a pity
Now, isn't it a shame
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain

How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity

Some things take so long
But how do I explain
When not too many people
Can see we're all the same

And because of all their tears
Their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Isn't it a pity

Isn't it a pity
Isn't is a shame
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain

How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity

Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity
Forgetting to give back
Now, isn't it a pity

What a pity
What a pity, pity, pity
What a pity
What a pity, pity, pity

What a pity
What a pity, pity, pity
What a pity
What a pity, pity, pity

What a pity
What a pity, pity, pity
What a pity
What a pity, pity, pity

What a pity
What a pity, pity, pity
What a pity
What a pity, pity, pity

What a pity
What a pity, pity, pity
What a pity
What a pity, pity, pity

What a pity
What a pity, pity, pity
What a pity
What a pity, pity, pity

"Isn't It Romantic"

"Isn't It Romantic"



I've never met you, yet never doubt dear
I can't forget you, I've thought you out, dear
I know your profile and I know the way you kiss
Just the thing I miss on a night like this

Isn't it romantic?
Music in the night, a dream that can be heard
Isn't it romantic?
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word

I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love

Isn't it romantic?
Merely to be young on such a night as this?
Isn't it romantic?
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss

Sweet symbols in the moonlight
Do you mean that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it romance?

Sweet symbols in the moonlight
Do you mean that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it romance?
