"Under The Bridge"

"Under The Bridge"


I lost my job in Saginaw working on the railroad
After twenty years they just put me on the side
Now I'm hungry in the street with no place to hang my hat
And nothin' but an empty dream to ride
But under the bridge, I can make believe I'm living in a castle
Under the bridge, my baby and me
And I can pretend that I'm a king and this is my kingdom
Under the bridge making believe
Hey, the doors are always open to any old weary traveler
And you'll find some great grub feedin' here below
Any old bridge can be a palace, call it what you want to
It's a place to be when you got no place to go
Under the bridge, I can make believe I'm living in a castle
Under the bridge, my baby and me
And I can pretend I'm a king, this is my kingdom
Under the bridge making believe
Hey, under the bridge making believe

"Unforgettable"

"Unforgettable"


Unforgettable that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone meanrt more.

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too.

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too...

"Union Station"

"Union Station"


Blow whistle blow watch them old freight trains roll
As they roll through Union Station
They say they are trying to tear it down
It's a shame for so long it's been around
A tribute to our nation the historical Untion Station
Blow whistle blow watch them old freight trains roll
As they roll through Union Station.

Then new one will come it won't be the same
The old ones're sure around but what's a shame
It's forsaking the old for the newer one
Just think what the old Union Station's done
Blow whistle blow watch them old freight trains roll
As they roll through Union Station.

Mhm, mhm, as they roll through Union Station...

"Waitin' For A Train"

"Waitin' For A Train"


All around the water tanks
Waiting for a train
A thousand miles away from home
Sleeping in the rain.

I walked up to a brakeman
To give him a line of talk
He said if you've got money
I'll see that you don't walk.

I haven't got a nickel
Not a penny can I show
Get off, get off, you railroad bum
And he slammed that boxcar door.

He put me off in Texas
The place I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me
The moon and stars up above.

Nobody seemed to want me
Nor to lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco
I'm going back to Dixie Land.

Though my pocketbook is empty
And my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Waitin' for a train.

Nobody seemed to want me
Nor to lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco
I'm going back to Dixie Land.

Though my pocketbook is empty
And my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Waitin' for a train...

"Wake Up"

"Wake Up"


Wake up, don't just lay there like cold granite stone
Wake up, we're too close to be alone
Wake up and please darling, hold me if you would
Don't just lay there like you've gone away for good

There's too many empty pages with so many things in store
I can't believe it's over and you've closed the final door
And I'm not prepared to handle these things we're going through
I wish God would grant me just one more night with you

Wake up, don't just lay there like cold granite stone
Wake up, we're too close to be alone
Wake up and please darling, hold me if you would
Don't just lay there like you've gone away for good

Without you I'll feel worthless, like a bell that doesn't ring
And I know you hear me talkin' yet you haven't heard a thing
And I can't stand it all much longer, I'll go crazy without you
I wish God would grant me just one more night with you

Wake up, don't just lay there like cold granite stone
Wake up, we're too close to be alone
Wake up and please darling, hold me if you would
Don't just lay there like you've gone away for good
Don't just lay there like you've gone away for good

"Walk On The Outside"

"Walk On The Outside"


I've been in here so long I forgot what I did wrong
Just a kid when they put me here inside
I don't have long to live and Lord what I would give
Mhm just to walk on the outside
Phones would even end when they put me to this pen
And that told me planes would never fly.

There's a lot I've never seen except here in this scene
Lord give me a walk on the outside.

Now Lord I'm not complained
But I'd walk at least a million miles behind these walls
I'd just like to see what's on this other side that's all.

There's a lot I've never seen except here in this scene
Lord give me a walk on the outside.

There's a lot I've never seen except here in this scene
Lord give me a walk on the outside...

"Walking The Floor Over You"

"Walking The Floor Over You"


You left me and you went away
You said that you'd be back in just a day
That day has come and gone but you're still away from home
I'm walking the floor over you

I'm walking the floor over you
I can't sleep a wink that is true
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two
Walking the floor over you

Now darling, you know I love you well
I love you more than I can ever tell
I thought you would love me and you always would be mine
You went away and left me here with troubles on my mind

I'm walking the floor over you
I can't sleep a wink that is true
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two
Walking the floor over you

"Waltz You Saved For Me"

"Waltz You Saved For Me"


Ever in dreams with you
I'll sway dear to the waltz you saved for me
Ever in dreams while I'm away dear
You'll hear this melody.

Whisper goodbye and gently say dear
That in all the days to be
You will sometimes remember
The waltz you saved for me...

"We Never Touch At All"

"We Never Touch At All"


We're caught in a trap like prisoners in a cage
Growing old from hate not from age
The runnin' love we had is down to crawl
We hardly ever talk and we never touch at all

You go out with someone else while I'm out with someone too
Yet we come back to prison when we're through
Why don't we just stay out? But we still can climb the wall
We hardly ever talk and we never touch at all

Are we afraid that we'll wind up along?
Is this the tide that keeps us hanging on?
Why don't we just stay out while we still can climb the wall?
We hardly ever talk and we never touch at all

Are we afraid that we'll wind up along?
Is this the tide that keeps us hanging on?
Why don't we just stay out while we still can climb the wall?
We hardly ever talk and we never touch at all
We hardly ever talk and we never touch at all, at all

"What A Friend We Have In Jesus"

"What A Friend We Have In Jesus"


What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and grieves to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Of what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptation
Is there trouble anywhere
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Of what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.

Can we find up friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrow share
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer...
