"Hummingbird"

"Hummingbird"

Sometimes I get impatient
But she cools me without words
And she comes so sweet and softly
My hummingbird and have you heard
That I thought my life had ended
But I find that it's just begun
Cause she gets me where I live
I'll give all I have to give
I'm talking about that hummingbird
Oh she's little and she loves me
Too much for words to say
When I see her in the morning sleeping
She's little and she loves me
To my lucky day
Hummingbird don't fly away (woah yeah)
When I'm feeling wild and lonesome
She knows the words to say
And she gives me understanding
In her special way
And I have to say
In my life I'll love no other
Because she's more than I deserve
And she gets me where I live
I'll give her everything i have to give
I'm talking about that hummingbird
Oh she's little and she loves me
Too much for words to say
When I see her in the morning sleeping
She's little and she loves me
To my lucky day
Hummingbird don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away

"Hurtsome Body"

"Hurtsome Body"

When I first saw you down in Tennessee
I knew you were the only girl for me
And when you sang your song it made me happy (yes it did)
But you took my money and you took my old car
And you ran straight into my best friend's arms
And I just want to ask you darling
How can you hurt somebody, hurt somebody like me
How can you hurt somebody, hurt somebody like me
Now I'm alone in England and I'm thinkin' of how it used to be
We never did so well down in Hollywood
But mama I treated you just as good as I could
And I still love ya, won't you tell me
How can you hurt somebody, hurt somebody like me
How can you hurt somebody, hurt somebody like me
Now I'm alone in England and I'm thinkin' about how it used to be
Whoa, I still love ya darling, won't you tell me
How can you hurt somebody, hurt somebody like me
How can you hurt somebody, hurt somebody like me
How can you hurt somebody, hurt somebody like me

"I Got It Bad & That Ain't Good"

"I Got It Bad & That Ain't Good"

Never treat me sweet and gentle
The way that she should
I got it bad and that ain't good

My poor heart it's sentimental
Know it ain't made out of wood
I got it bad and that ain't good

When the weekend is over
And Monday rolls round
I am the way that I started out
Just crying my heart out

She don't love me like I love her
Nobody could, I got it bad and that ain't good

Folks with good intentions,
Tell me to save up my tears
I'm so glad I'm mad about her,
cause I can't live without her

Lord above, make her love me
the way that she should
I got it bad and that ain't good
I got it bad and that ain't good

"I Really Miss You"

"I Really Miss You"

[Chorus:]
I really miss you, will forever more.
Let me say the things I used to just ignore.
Always on my mind, I tell myself that I'm only wasting time away
From you, it's true.
I need to kiss you, not here at the guard
Cause I still feel the things I used to feel before.
There's no wrong or right, there's only after night,
If you turn off the light, I'll know which way to go with you.
I was a fool to try to break on love
I was a fool, too blind to see.
I won't make the same mistake, my love,
If you come back to me.
[Chorus:]
I really miss you, will forever more.
Let me say the things I used to say before.
Holding you like this, the memories with each kiss,
Tell me why I miss you so.
I can't let go of you.
I won't make the same mistake, my love
If you come back to me.
I need to kiss you, not here at the guard
Cause I still feel the things I used to feel before.
There's no wrong or right, there's only after night,
If you turn off the light, I'll know which way to go with you.
Do you miss me to?
Much as I miss you

"I Saw The Light"
(with Willie Nelson)
(originally by Hank Williams)

"I Saw The Light"
(with Willie Nelson)
(originally by Hank Williams)

I saw the light I saw the light no more darkness no more night
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight praise the Lord I saw the light

I wandered so aimless life filled with sin I wouldn't let my dear Saviour in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night praise the Lord I saw the light
I saw the light...

Just like a blind man I wandered along worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like a blind man God gave back his sight praise the Lord I saw the light
I saw the light...

I was a fool to wander and stray straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for all the right praise the Lord I saw the light
I saw the light...
Well I saw the light...
Well I said praise the Lord I saw the light

"I Should Have Sent Roses"
(with Elton John)

"I Should Have Sent Roses"
(with Elton John)

Are you standing outside?
Looking up at the sky
Cursing a wondering star
Well If I were you
I'd throw rocks at the moon
I'd say damn you wherever you are
I don't know where to start
This cage 'round my heart
Locked up what I'd meant to say
Or I felt all along the way
Just wondering how come
I couldn't take your breath away
Cause I never sent roses
I never did enough
I didn't know how to love you
Though I loved you so much
When I should've sent roses
When you crossed my mind
No other reason
Than the fact you were mine
I should've sent roses
Looking back on my life
Oh, if fate should decide
I could do it all over again
I'd build no more walls
I'd stay true and recall
The fragrance of you on the wind
You'll get better than me
Someone who can see
Right from the start
Given all that you need
I'll slip away
Knowing I'm half the man I could be
Cause I never sent roses
I never did enough
I didn't know how to love you
Though I loved you so much
And I should have sent roses
When you crossed my mind
For no other reason
Than the fact you were mine
I should've sent roses
Yeah should've sent roses

"I'll Sail My Ship Alone"

"I'll Sail My Ship Alone"

We've been sweethearts for so long
But now you say we're thru
The love we shared is now a memory
I have built a ship of dreams
And planned them all for you
But now I guess what is to be, will be

I'll sail my ship alone
With all the dreams I own
Drifting out across the ocean blue
Yes, I'll sail my ship alone
Tho' all the sails you've torn
And when it starts to sinkin'
I'll blame you

Now, I gave a message to the wind
To take back home to you
Hoping you would hear my S-O-S
I thought that you would come back home
My darlin', if you knew
How much my achin' heart was in distress

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"

Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds to blue to fly
The midnight train is a-winding low
I'm so lonesome I could cry

I've never seen a night so long
When time keeps crawling by
The moon is gone behind the clouds
To hide his face and cry

Have you ever seen a robin weep
When leaves have turned to brown?
Like me he's lost his will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple haze
And yes I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry

"I've Just Seen A Face"
(originally by The Beatles)

"I've Just Seen A Face"
(originally by The Beatles)

Well, I've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place where we first met
She's just the girl for me
I want all the world to see we've met

Well, had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I'd have never been aware
As it is, I'll dream of her tonight

Oh, fallin', yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again

Oh, fallin', yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again

I have never known the like of this
I've been alone and I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite like this

Oh, falling, yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again

Oh, falling, yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again

And she keeps callin'
Me back again

And she keeps callin'
Me back again

And she keeps callin'
Me back again
