"Silver Bells"

"Silver Bells"



Silver bells silver bells it's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling hear them ring soon it will be Christmas Day

City sidewalks busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing people passing meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells silver bells...
(Silver bells) silver bells (silver bells) silver bells soon it will be Christmas Day

"Singing The Blues"

"Singing The Blues"


Well I never felt more like singing the blues cause I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear why'd you do me this way
Well I never felt more like crying all night
Cause everything's wrong and nothing ain't right
Without you you've got me singing the blues
Well the moon and the stars no longer shine the dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do but cry cry cry cry over you
Well I never felt more like running away but why should I go cause I couldn't stay
Without you you've got me singing the blues
[ ac.guitar ]
Well the moon and the stars...

"Slowly Killing Me"

"Slowly Killing Me"


Oh I can't live without you and I'm barely livin' with you
I can't get her off your mind and I can't set you free
When you look at one another your look tells me you love her
And that's the part that slowly killing me
Oh what's this other woman done to you she can't ever love you like I do
Cry tears enough to drown me heartache's closing in around me
And that's the part that slowly killing me
[ steel ]
Oh what's this other woman done to you why she can't ever love you like I do
I'd die the night you leave me I cry but you don't see me
And that's the part that slowly killing me
Yes that's the part that slowly killing me

"Sneakin' In"

"Sneakin' In"


It's now three o'clock in the morning the doorknob turns and you tiptoe to bed
You think you're sneakin' in you should know better
I know exactly what goes on inside your head
You've been with the boys so you'll tell me
It's a lie because I know right where you've been
I followed you tonight and watched you kiss her
Don't be so quite cause you're not sneakin' in
Next time you're sneakin' in ring the doorbell
Cause I won't be here to see the shape you're in
I've been losin' lots of sleep over nothin'
And I'm tired of hearin' nothin' sneakin' in
[ steel ]
And I'm tired of hearin' nothin' sneakin' in

"Snowbird"

"Snowbird"


Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
When I was young my heart was young then too
Anything that it would tell me that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life is the thing that I can't win
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you
[ dobro ]
The breeze along the river seems to say
That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
So little snowbird take it with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
Spread your tiny wings...
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you

"Softly And Tenderly"

"Softly And Tenderly"


Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling calling for you and for me
See on the portal he's waiting and watching watching for you and for me
Come home come home ye who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling calling oh sinner come home
[ piano ]
Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading pleading for you and for me
Why should we linger and heed not his mercies mercies for you and for me
Come home come home...

"Some Kind Of A Woman"

"Some Kind Of A Woman"



He's tempted by the devil to give up
The love he knows he's got at home
And temptation sometimes leads the best of men
To want to stay out all night long.

And the way the world is turnin'
You can find anything you wanna see
But I know you turn it down, turn around
And then come on home to me.

But I've got me some kind of woman
And she loves me like nobody can
Yes, I've got me some kind of a woman
And that's why I go on home to be her man.

He lets me know that I am the only girl
In the world he wants to hold
And I can tell by the way he touches me
That his love will not grow cold.

So why should he go looking for another
When I'm all he'll ever need
I'm satisfied to be with him and his love
Sure does take good care of me.

But I've got me some kind of woman
And she loves me like nobody can
Yes, I've got me some kind of a woman
And that's why I go on home to be her man...

"Somebody Somewhere (Don't Know What He's Missin' Tonight)"

"Somebody Somewhere (Don't Know What He's Missin' Tonight)"



Somebody, somewhere don't know what he's missin' tonight.

It must have all started with that darn'd old Late Show.
It made me so lonely and sad.
And to make it all better, I kept getting bluer,
With each little drink that I had.
So I tuned in a DJ,
Who played every sad song he owned.
Lord, I need someone so, but everyone I know,
Is away, bein' needed at home.

Somebody, somewhere don't know what he's missin' tonight.
Lord, here sits a woman, just lonesome enough to be right.
For love 'em or leave 'em, how I need someone to hold tight.
Somebody, somewhere don't know what he's missin' tonight.

"Somebody's Back In Town"

"Somebody's Back In Town"


I just heard the saddest news somebody's back in town
And I know just what she's gonna do
She'll pick up what she left off her last time around
Oh how it hurts to keep on losin' you
Somebody's back in town to steal your love from me
The fear I've had so long is now reality
The only chance I have is when she throws you down
My chance is gone somebody's back in town
[ steel ]
I know that I can't change your way we've been through that before
Her trap is set and you will walk right in
She only wants of love an up-affair and nothing more
And you're just fool enough to fall again
Somebody's back in town why can't she stay away
You should know she never loved you anyway
She'll let you live a little then she'll throw you down
Sad news today somebody's back in town

"Someone Before Me"

"Someone Before Me"


Someone before me still turns you inside out
When we're together she's all you talk about
You're always wanting me to do the things she used to do
Someone before me sure left her mark on you
I've tried to get inside your heart but I don't have a chance
Now I can see she's on your mind with every little glance
You're living on old mem'ries my love can't get through to you
Someone before me sure left her mark on you
[ piano ]
I've tried to get inside your heart...
