"Living With You"

"Living With You"



You've been teaching me a lesson
That I've never learned
You never make it through a lifetime
Without being burned
Everything I ever thought you were
You turned out to be
Since you gave your love to me.

When I met you on a Monday
My life just stood still
I belong in every moment
That your love can fill
Let me be the only heart you can mend
Turn out the light and take it right to the end

Living with you
In the madness of my mind
In a world I could not find
But you knew what to do
Living with you
There's a full moon on the rise
There's a fire in your eyes
And I was born to be.

Loving you under my skin
You're everything to me
I could not love you more
And you know that you are mine
And that's what I'm living for

There will never be a question
Of somebody new
I could make it through a lifetime
With someone like you
Let me be the only heart …

"Long Arm Of The Law"

"Long Arm Of The Law"



In Cumberland Kentucky
On a cool hot evening
Billy lay in love with Marrianne
She was a rich judge's daughter
He was a son of a miner
But that night their love was more than they could stand
The judge said to his daughter
That son of that coal miner
Is someone you'll go hell to leave alone
She knew his dad so well
She knew she couldn't tell
But the truth was bound in show before too long

Their love had started growing on its own
You can't out run the long arm of the law
No, you can't out run the long arm of the law
Billy placed his hand on Mary
And he felt the baby's moving
Kissed her and said I'll see you when I can
The judge had made a promise
When he caught up with Billy
He'd sent him far away from Marianne
The whole town knew he'd do it
Too many times he'd proved it
To at least a hundred men behind the wall

He'd smiled behind that frown
And when he brought that gavel down
He called himself the long arm of the law
And he'd set his mind on seeing Billy fall
In a hot humid mine shack
A mid-white pulled the sheet back
And placed cool damp towel on Marianne
Billy's eyes were wide with wonder
From the spell he was under
When she placed the new born baby in his hands

He didn't hear the siren
Just a baby's crying
That miracle of love was all he saw

When the door came crashing down
And Billy turned around
He felt the heart and soul inside him fall
He stood face to face
With the long arm of the law
You can't out run the long arm of the law
No, you can't out run the long arm of the law
You can hide out for a while
He says with a smile
But you can't out run the long arm of the law

Seemed like everybody down in Cumberland Kentucky
Came out that day to see poor Billy's trial
The court was called to order
There sat the judge's daughter
She looked so proud
Holding Billy's child
When they brought Billy to him
The judge just look right thru him
As he held that Holy Bible in his hand
And he smiled at his grandson
Then his eyes cut back to Billy
And said I think this time
The law will understand
Son, I sentence you to live with Marianne

You can't out run the long arm of the law
No, you can't out run the long arm of the law
He said to Billy with a smile
I know you hide out for a while
Ah but you can't out run the long arm of the law
No you can't out run the long arm of the law

"Look At You"

"Look At You"



Look at you shining like a diamond in a velvet blouse
oh look at you, when I looked at you
It's a wonder why heaven ever gave you up
all I want to do is look at you

You are the woman that I waited for
the only one I see
I could live a million years or more
and not explain this beautiful pain
I go through when I look at you

Look at me, a man at the mercy of a heart on fire
Would you look at me,
helplessly, stunning like a drum full of pure desire
Cant you see, how desperately
I want to take you in there arms of mine
and never let you go
taste your kiss until the end of time
maybe until then, yeah until then
I will be happy too

Oh just look at you

You are the woman that I waited for
the only one I see
I could live a million years or more
and not explain this beautiful pain
I go through when I look at you

Just let me look at you
that is all I want to do
it's look at you

"Love Don't Live Here Anymore"

"Love Don't Live Here Anymore"



This is the house that love built
Memories of you are built in each wall
Wanting the seeds still haunt my dreams
Though I've just heard your voice in the hall
The mirrors reflect all the heartache I feel
Smiling photographs don't seem real.

Nothing's been moved, but everything's changed
Each chair isn't placed, just my life's rearranged
The wind cries your name through each window and door
Love don't live here, love don't live here anymore.

The fire alight still glows a pale blue
The mantle is cruel holding pictures of you
Your scent lingers there, in the bed that we shared
The last plant I sent isn't bloomed
These rooms are unkind to play tricks on my mind
I can see how you've lived without me.

Nothing's been moved, but everything's changed
Each chair isn't placed, just my life's rearranged
The wind cries your name through each window and door
Love don't live here, love don't live here anymore...

"Love Is Here To Stay"

"Love Is Here To Stay"



It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go

But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

"Love Is Just Around The Corner"

"Love Is Just Around The Corner"



Oh, my love is just around the corner
Any cozy little corner
Love is just around the corner
When I'm around you

And I'm a sentimental mourner
And I couldn't be forlorner
When you keep me in the corner
Just waiting for you

Now Venus de Milo was noted for her charm
But strictly between us
You're cuter than Venus
And what's more, you've got arms

So let's go cuddle in a corner
Any cozy little corner
Love is just around the corner
When I'm around you

Now Venus de Milo was noted for her charm
But strictly between us
You're cuter than Venus
And what's more, you've got arms

So let's go, cuddle in a corner
Any cozy little corner
Love is just around the corner
When I'm around you
When I'm around you, when I'm around you

"Love Is Strange"

"Love Is Strange"



Love is strange
Lots of people take it for a game
Once you get it you never want to quit
After you've had it
You say love, love is strange
Is better than a kiss
When you leave me
Sweet kisses are a miss.

Hey, you sexy thing
How do call your love girl?
I say love girl
And if she doesn't answer
I say you'd better come here love girl
And if she still doesn't answer
Well then it is
Baby love is strange, baby, baby
You are the one.

Tell me something
How do you call your love boy?
I say come here love boy
Oh, but if he doesn't answer
I say, Ah come here love boy
But what if he still doesn't answer
I simply say, Baby, oh my baby
Come here like that
You're the one.

What do you call your love girl, my sweet baby
How do you call your lover boy
You know all sorts of ways
Baby, my sweet baby
Oh my baby, you are the one...

"Love Is What We Make It"

"Love Is What We Make It"



Girl, we've come a long, long way
Too far for us to end this way
Sometimes the cost of love is hard
And we must pay this little give-and-take

So don't you think if you and I
Were just about and let our hearts decide
Maybe it would all work out in time
So won't you stay, please don't go away.

Love, love is what we make it
We can make it so much better if we try
Love, love is what we make it
So let's make it real good this time.

Is it too late to change your mind?
Or has it gone to fall this time
Won't you hold me just one more time
Let's just say: "there's a chance for you and me"

Love, love is what we make it...

"Love Lifted Me"

"Love Lifted Me"



I'll write myself a simple song
Get the whole world to sing along
I'll call it a love song for you

And who knows
I'm liable to take a song from the Bible
And then when I'm through, I'll just sing

Love lifted me, love lifted me
When nothing else would do
You know love lifted me

Everybody's looking for a way
To say something nobody said
But that's hard to do

They're searching their mind
Trying to find the one of a kind way
That they could say something new and I just say

Love lifted me, love lifted me
When I was down and out
You know love lifted me

Love lifted me, love lifted me
When nothing else would do
You know love lifted me

Love lifted me, love lifted me
When nothing else would do
You know love lifted me

Love lifted me, love lifted me
When I was down and out
You know love lifted me

Everybody sing love lifted me
Oh, love lifted me

"Love Like This"

"Love Like This"



Is it still love when we no longer touch?,
Passing white sheets in the night,
Love goes unspoken, we don't say a word,
We simply turn out the lights.
Lost in the silence but still I can hear,
The sound of my own breaking heart,
I can't pretend that my world isn't falling apart.

And I don't wanna go thro' love like this,
'cos I won't ever know what I might have missed.
I wanna burn with desire,
I want to feel the fire when we kiss,
But I don't wanna go thro' love like this.

I still remember the taste of your skin,
The sound of you saying my name,
The way that it felt as we laid in the sand,
And passion came crashing like waves.
The wind of your laughter, the longing,
The love lead us to lacking inside
There must be some way for lovers to turn the trash.

'Cos I don't wanna go ...

Like strangers living like two people
Who'd never known what is like to be loved.

I want to burn with desire;
I want to feel the fire of every kiss
But I don't wanna go thro' love,
No, I'm not gonna go thru love,
I'm not willing to go thru love like this.
