"Make Believe"

"Make Believe"



Make believe we're in love
Let's pretend that we share eternity
Make believe, come with me far away
Let's just you and I
Bid this world goodbye

Make believe
Make my life worth living
Stand by me to the end
Happiness comes in giving
Is it so hard to pretend?

Close your eyes, take my hand
I may be a fool
Still I pray that you'll
Make believe

Make believe we're in love
Why can't you pretend
That we're more than friends
Make believe, come with me far away
Fill each lonely night
With a love that's right

Make believe
Make my live worth living
Stand by me to the end
Happiness comes in giving
Is it so hard to pretend?

Close your eyes, dream with me
I may be a fool
Still I pray that you'll
Make believe

"Make You Feel My Love"

"Make You Feel My Love"



When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

"Mama Don't Know"

"Mama Don't Know"




Mama don't know
What the preacher man know
But the preacher man know it all right
Papa don't know
What the preacher man do
When the preacher man come out tonight
"Heal Me"
She said, "Heal me, make me whole."

Here he comes
Well he's talking to the weak
Here he comes
Don't he touch you when he speaks?

Mama don't know
What the preacher man know
But the preacher man know it all right
Papa don't care
What the preacher man say
If the preacher man sayin' it right
"Heal Me"
She said, "Heal me, make me whole."

Here he comes
Well he's talking to the weak
Here he comes
Don't he touch you when he speaks?

Sweet Lord, we rejoice
And give ourselves to thee
True, Light, Glory and Grace

Make us see
"Heal Me, Heal Me, Heal Me, Heal Me,
Heal Me, Heal Me, Heal Me, Heal Me"

Here he comes
Well he's talking to the weak
Here he comes
Don't he touch you when he speaks?
Don't he touch you when he speaks?
Don't he touch you when he speaks?

"Man Of God"

"Man Of God"



I'm a man of God
Though I never learned to pray
Walked the pathways of the heart
Found him there along the way

And I am, yes I am, I'm a man of faith
And faith is something you can't see
But if we want to make it through
Faith is how it's got to be

I'm thanking you Lord for giving me song
For making me strong
And for taking my hand
I'll go up to heaven when I reach the end
But up until then
Gonna do what I can

And I can, yes I can be a man of peace
Plant it like a tiny seed
It grows a little when you give
And gives you back when you're in need

No I am, yes I am, I'm a man of song
Gonna sing it far and near
Gonna make a joyful sound
One that every heart can hear

Singing for Him is like touching the sky
I don't need to know why
I just know that it is

Each time I sing out I want to rejoice
Cause when I hear my voice
I believe that it's His

And I am, yes I am, I'm a man of hope.
I haven't stopped believin' yet
And while we're headin' down that road
Hope is what we can't forget

And I am yes I am, I'm a man of God
Know I am, yes I am, I'm a man, I'm a man of faith
I'm a man, yes I am, I'm a man, I'm a man of peace
And I am, yes, I am, I'm a man, I'm a man of song

I'm a man of God
Man of God

Say that you'll marry me
Sometimes carry me
And I will be there forever more
For you

And if you marry me
I will give every thing
And I will do anything That you need

And the beat of my heart I'll be there

And maybe a dream or two will come true

"Marry Me Now"

"Marry Me Now"



We don't believe in breaking up
We do believe in making up
That's all we really have to know
To make it so, it's official

Yesterday is here and gone
Tomorrow's where we both belong
Today's the day to make that change
And rearrange your initials

Marry me now
Say that I do
Don't wait around
You know I'm gonna be true
I'll give you my life
It's all that I got
I love you, believe it or not

Got so much celebrate
So why do we even hesitate
We've got the time, let's make the date
'Cause ain't life great, together

Married's not an easy thing
But look at all the joy it brings
And you and me can't be afraid
'Cause each day's made to treasure

Marry me now
Say that I do
Don't wait around
You know I'm gonna be true
I'll give you my life
It's all that I got
I love you, believe it or not

Marry me now
Tell me I do
Don't wait around
You know I'm gonna be true
I'll give you my life
It's all that I got
I love you, believe it or not

Marry me now
Tell me I do
Don't wait around
I'm gonna be true
I'll give you my life
It's all that I got
I love you

Marry me now
Marry me now
Marry me now
Marry me now
Marry me now
Tell me I do
Don't wait around
Gonna be true
Give you my life
Ah baby I'll give it all to you
Mm mm mm

"Mary's Little Boy Child"

"Mary's Little Boy Child"




Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible says
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day

Hark, now hear the angels sing
New king's born today,
And man will live for evermore,
Because of Christmas Day

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear the child
Not a single room was in sight

By and by they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little boy was born

Hark, now hear the angels sing
New king's born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day

While shepherds
Watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
And heard the choir from heaven sing
The music seemed to come from afar

Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day

"Me Beside You"

"Me Beside You"



Could've been me beside you, baby
Could've been me beside you
But I wasn't smart

Isn't it kind of funny, baby
Isn't it kind of funny,
Two of us apart

Sayin' it's kind of funny, baby
But it's the kind of funny
That can break your heart

All through the night
I can see you
All through the night
I call your name
Close my eyes and
I see you coming back to me
Wonder, could it be that way again
And I lie awake
And think of what we could have been
While you're lying there with him

Could've been me beside you, baby
Could've been me beside you
I should be that guy

Sayin' it's kind of funny
But it's the kind of funny
That can make you cry

All through the night
I can see you
All through the night
I call your name
Close my eyes and
I see you coming back to me
But I know that it's only in my head
'Cause I lie awake
And think of what I should have said
And you're there with him instead

Should've been me beside you, baby
Should've been me beside you
I should be that guy

Never had time to take you dancin'
Never had time for dancin'
And I don't know why

Isn't it time we got together
Isn't it time we try it
Back to you and I

Could've been me beside you, baby
Could've been me beside you
I should be that guy

Could've been me beside you, baby
Could've been me beside you

"Measles"

"Measles"



I used to be the only boy
That you'd be found with
Now I can't even get close
You'd think I'd just come down
With measles
You think I had measles
"It gets much worse"

Though I was covered with little red spots
Oh, but baby...
All I really got is
The case of the blues.....

"Melody Road"

"Melody Road"


Melody road I'm on with you
All the way to the end
I know every song you lead me to
It's gonna be my friend
Melody road I play all night
Take my guitar and strum
Find me some words that feel just right
The music's gonna come from melody road.

Melody from the heart,
Melody from the start,
Telling things will be OK
I'm thinking I just might stay
On melody road!

Melody road, let's go a mile
I'll tie up my rambling shoes
Write me a song to make you smile
There's no need to sing the blues,
On melody road

Melodies that unfold,
Melodies made of gold,
Making up songs along the way
I'm thinking I just might stay
On melody road!

[Instrumental]

Ringing out like a bell
Singing out I can't tell
I'm not alone!
Melody road it's you & me
Floating out on a dream
I love every song that comes to me
'Cause I know it comes to be
On melody road, melody road
Melody road, melody road
Melody road!
