"What Am I Gonna Do (With The Rest Of My Life)"

"What Am I Gonna Do (With The Rest Of My Life)"

I can make it for a day or two without you
And maybe I can make it through the night
I can smoke I can drink and probably be alright until morning
But what am I gonna do with the rest of my life.

I've got things that I can do
I've got places I can go to this evening
I've got whiskey I can drink
That'll help me not to think about you leaving
Yes I can smoke and I can drink
Probably be alright till morning
But what am I gonna do with the rest of my life.

I've got things that I can do
I've got places I can go to this evening
I've got whiskey I can drink
That'll help me not to think about you leaving
Yes I can smoke and I can drink
Probably be alright till morning
But what am I gonna do with the rest of my life.

But what am I gonna do with the rest of my life...

"What Have You Got Planned Tonight, Diana"

"What Have You Got Planned Tonight, Diana"

I remember it all started in 1929 when me and Diana came to Alaska
To homestead some of this free government land.

Forty mile from the nearest gravel road
We cut our life in the ponderosa pines
We sweated hard to beat the winter snow
But the cabin's up and we've got lots of times.

What have you got planned tonight Diana
Would you consider laying in my arms
I love you more than ever now Diana
I'm sure you're the reason I was born.

Jim was born the first year we were here
Look at him my God he's almost grown
The baby's in the cradle fast asleep
Just think in no time he'll be up and gone.

What have you got planned tonight Diana
Would you consider laying in my arms
I love you more than ever now Diana
I'm sure you're the reason I was born.

The time sure does fly doesn't it Dianna
It's been almost two years now since, since you've been gone
Speaking of time I guess you know that mine's 'bout up
I'm gonna see you tonight
Just another breath or two and I'll be home by the way.

What have you got planned tonight Diana
Would you consider laying in my arms
I love you more than ever now Diana
I'm sure you're the reason I was born...

"What Love Can Do"

"What Love Can Do"

What love can do
Is build a bridge for two
And make our dreams come true
That's what love can do.

What love can do
Is make his need to live
And make you want to give
Thats's what love can do

And when your whole world
Goes spinnin' out of control and you're alone
And you're needin' someone to hold
An old friend from somewhere touches your soul
And love comes true.

What love can do
Is a way to make you smile
And make your life worth while
That's what love can do

And when your whole world
Goes spinnin' out of control and you're alone
And you're needin' someone to hold
An old friend somewhere touches your soul
And love comes true.

What love can do
This make you want to smile
Can change the world around
That's what love can do

"What's Wrong With Stayin' Home"

"What's Wrong With Stayin' Home"

The boys are wantin' me to go out drinking
They want me to leave my Julie home
I know Julie don't mind my drinking
But Julie don't like to be left here at home.

So what's wrong with stayin' home with Julie
Julie's always been good to me
What's wrong with stayin' home with Julie
Julie's always stayed at home with me.

I know she may be a bit old fashion
She don't wear all those fancy clothes
But at least they don't say bad things about her
And I'm proud of her everywhere we go.

So what's wrong with stayin' home with Julie
Julie's always been good to me
What's wrong with stayin' home with Julie
Julie's always stayed at home with me...

"Whatever Happened To Me"

"Whatever Happened To Me"

It gets longer in between each time you call
I'd be safe in saying you no longer care at all
We're never seem together like we used to
Be tell me darling whatever happened to me

I once played a big part in your world
Think back and I know you'll agree
You still play a big part in my world
Oh but whatever happened to me

I made up my own excuses for so long
I can't keep myself from asking what went wrong
Please forgive me if I'm just too blind to see
And tell me darling whatever happened to me

Please forgive me if I'm just too blind to see
And tell me darling whatever happened to me

"When God Comes And Gathers His Jewels"

"When God Comes And Gathers His Jewels"

When the ceremony was over
A lad stood alone in tears
For he had just said goodbye to the one
He had loved through the years.

He stood all alone with his head bowed down
As though his heart would break
The parson came over and took his hand
And to him these words he did say.

When God comes and gathers His jewels
All his treasures of diamonds and gold
You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair
When God comes and gathers His jewels.

Every night when the pale moon is shining
You can see this lad all alone
With his eyes lifted up toward heaven
He's repeating these words he was told.

When God comes and gathers His jewels
All his treasures of diamonds and gold
You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair
When God comes and gathers His jewels.

When God comes and gathers His jewels
All his treasures of diamonds and gold
You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair
When God comes and gathers His jewels...

"When It Rains It Pours"

"When It Rains It Pours"

I'm all alone and I'm feeling blue
Wishing you were here with me
So I could say to you
Honey, I Love you

It's 2 a.m. and I can not sleep
Cause you are so very,very far from me
And It hurts me
To be alone

You are the kind that loves to here
Sweet love words whispered in your ear
But I'm a silent man
I don't know the lingo

The rain is sprinkling outside my door
And wondering when it will begin to pour
Like my life, when it rains it pours

When it rains it pours
Lightning and thunder
It all makes me wonder
When will it end

When it rains it pours
It all seems so sad
Before it's over
It will wash away all i had

When it rains it pours
Lightning and thunder
It all makes me wonder
When will it end
When it rains it pours
It all seems so sad
Before it's over
It will wash away all i had

Now the pour is over
And it's washed away all i had

Yeah, the pour is over
And it's washed away all i had

"When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again"

"When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again"

Memories that linger in my heart
Memories that make my heart grow cold
But some day we'll live them all again
And my blue moon again will turn to gold.

Your lips that used to thrill me so
Your kisses were meant for only me
In my dreams we'll live them all again
But my golden moon is just a memory.

When my blue moon turns to gold again
And the rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
You'll be back within my arms to stay.

The castle we built of dreams together
Was the sweetest stories ever told
You know maybe we could live them all again
Dark blue moon again will turn to gold.

When my blue moon turns to gold again
And the rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
You'll be back within my arms to stay...

"When My Last Song Is Sung"

"When My Last Song Is Sung"

When my last song is sung and my lifes work is done
And my old faithful guitar loses tone
You won't find me troubled then, wishing I could sing again
When my last song is sung I'll be gone.

What a gift the Lord has shared with a man who never cared
Claiming every note I'd writtrn for my own
So before ir comes my time there's a song of thanks in line
Before my Lord and Savior calls me home.

Let me sing a song for Jesus everyday
For He's the one who guides me every step of the way
He's my soul inspiration and the one who guides my pen
So let the last song I sing be for him...

"Where Does The Good Times Go"

"Where Does The Good Times Go"

Where does the good times go
Where does the river flow
Where does the north wind blow
Where does the good times go

Lips that used to burn with love
Now are cold beneath my touch
Still I love you oh so much
Where does the good times go

Where does the good times go
Where does the river flow
Where does the north wind blow
Where does the good times go

Arms that used to hold me tight
Eyes that shone with love so bright
Now have changed like day to night
Where does the good times go

Where does the good times go
Where does the river flow
Where does the north wind blow
Where does the good times go
Where does the good times go
