"O Little Town Of Bethlehem"

"O Little Town Of Bethlehem"




O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love

Oh morning stars together,
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the king
And peace to men on earth

How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven

Oh morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the king
And peace to men on earth
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

"Oh Mary"

"Oh Mary"



1... 2... 3...
Oh Mary
Can you hear my song?
Does it make a mournful sound?
I sang it once when first I saw you
And I sing it to you now.
Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh
Talking bout love
Mary Oh Mary Oh
No, I don't want nothing in between
Mary Oh Mary Oh
Don't tie me to words that you don't mean
Mary Oh Mary Oh
I'm lookin' for something I never knew
Mary Oh Mary
Oh Mary
You know I'm lookin' for you

Oh Mary
You can doubt the world,
But don't ever doubt in me
I sang it once that I'd never leave you
And that's how its gonna be
Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh
Talkin' bout love
Mary Oh Mary Oh

Mary Oh Mary Oh
Don't tie me to words that you don't mean

Let the chance go by
It may never come again
I've been around and I know what happens
And I'm too old to pretend
Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh

Talkin' bout love
Mary Oh Mary Oh
No, I don't want nothing in between
Mary Oh Mary Oh
Don't tie me to words that you don't mean
Mary Oh Mary Oh

Mary Oh Mary
Oh Mary
You know I'm lookin' for you.

Oh Mary
Was it just a dream
That I dreamed the other night?
I saw you there
Standing right beside me
And we finally had it right
Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh
Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh
Talkin' out love
Mary Oh Mary Oh
No, I don't want nothing in between
Mary Oh Mary
Don't tie me to words that you don't mean
Mary Oh Mary Oh

"On The Outside Lookin' In"

"On The Outside Lookin' In"



I see lovers passing by
But no matter how I try
I can't greet them with a grin
'Cause I'm standing
On the outside lookin' in

Friends have told me all along
I've been playing my cards all wrong
But I just can't seem to win
And I'm always
On the outside lookin' in

Oh, how it hurts
To see others enjoy love
I've never known
And I'm afraid
That I'll spend all my night
In my room all alone

Maybe someday I will find someone
That I can call mine
On that day my life'll begin
And I won't be
On the outside lookin' in

"On The Robert E. Lee"

"On The Robert E. Lee"



Hey
Look at the way she's wavin' her sail
It's a wondrous sight to see
People hurry on down from every town
Have a look at the Robert E. Lee
Proud and strong and made to be free
Can't go wrong on the Robert E. Lee

Got the sun in my eyes
And the wind in my face
And it's good just to be alive
Gonna set out tonight for New Orleans
I won't sleep till I arrive

And if I'm lucky,
I'll find a young lady under the stars
And we'll dance the night away

Somebody wake me and say it's a dream
Leadin' me far from my home
And haven't you noticed
Despite what it seems
You can't deny it's you and I alone

Maybe spend my life just workin' the land
Maybe livin' from day to day
But I'm free tonight in New Orleans
If I like it, I just might stay

Proud and strong and made to be free
Can't go wrong on the Robert E. Lee

Got the sun in my eyes
And the wind in my face
And it's good just to be alive
Gonna set out tonight for New Orleans
I won't sleep till I arrive

"On The Way To The Sky"

"On The Way To The Sky"



We are two
And two of us are one
I'm back on my feet again,
Out on the street again
Looking for love
On the way to the sky

Some people moving up,
And some people standing still
Some hold their hands out,
And some people never will

Lovers and liars
Consumed by the fires
Of too many dances
But not enough song, you're my song

We pity the poor one,
The shy and unsure one
Who wanted it perfect
But waited too long
There's no way to count
Or to measure the cost
Of the innocence lost
On the way to the sky
You and I

And we are two,
And two of us are one
But maybe two of us
Can be enough to get it done

Lovers and liars
Consumed by the fires
Of too many dances
But not enough song

We pity the poor one,
The shy the unsure one
Who wanted it perfect
But waited too long,
Much too long

I'm back on my feet again
I'm out on the street again
Looking for love
On the way to the sky
You and I

"Once In A While"

"Once In A While"



Once in a while, I would call
Asking only to find you there

Once in a while, I would call
Asking only to know

And once you were mine long ago
When the evening was warm and free
Once you were mine
When the evening
Was full with that glow

And who could have known
We'd have flown far away
From the way we were
Knowing the way we were
Once in a while
Once in a while

And who could have known
We'd have flown far away
From the way we were
Knowing the way we were
Once in a while
Once in a while

And who could have known
We'd have flown like two birds
To another place
Only to find our space
Once in a while
Once in a while

"One By One"

"One By One"



One by one they came disillusioned
Lost their way on the road to life
Two by two they came in confusion
Somehow blind of the guiding light
One by one and two by two
Just begun, so much to do

One by one they break with tradition
Raise their flag
And they go their own way
Two by two they don't want permission
Find their thing and they're doin' okay
One by one, two by two
Just begun, so much to do
Yeah

One by one, two by two
Me and you
Spread the word to each generation
Truth will grow wherever it's told
Life is love in each incarnation
Love is free, it lives in the soul

Spread the words
Truth will grow
Life is love
And love is free, it lives in the soul

One by one, two by two
So much done, so much to do
One by one and two by two
We gonna make it through

"One Good Love"

"One Good Love"



It took a while for me to know
What I was looking for
And ev'ry heart I've ever known
Just left me wanting more

One good love can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
And lead it back to solid ground
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
When all you really need to find
Is one good love

I followed all life's pleasures
Wherever they would lead
But someone I can treasure
Is all I really need

One good love can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
And lead it back to solid ground
One good love can take you to the light
With just one touch you can forget
A thousand empty nights
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
When all you really need to find
Is one good love

You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
When all you really need to find
Is one good love,
One good love

"One Hand, One Heart"

"One Hand, One Heart"



Make of our hands, one hand
Make of our hearts, one heart
Make of our vows, one last vow
Only death will part us now

Make of our lives, one life
Day after day, one life
Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart
Even death won't part us now

Make of our hands, one hand
Make of our hearts, one heart
Make of our vows, one last vow
Only death will part us now

Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart
Even death won't part us now

"One More Bite Of The Apple"

"One More Bite Of The Apple"



Been away from you for much too long
Been away but now I'm back where I belong
Leave while I was gone away
But I do just fine
But I couldn't get the music of my mind
And I couldn't leave the meaning behind
Read the word from the page
Free the bird from the cage
Just go out there and face
What you did before
Did it once
You can do it once more
Yeah

Coming back for one more bite of the apple
Tastes as sweet
It's the nectar of life
And you know that it's right
Cause you know you're not out there alone
And that one more bite of the apple is all
You gonna need to bring it home
I couldn't count the chances that I've lost
Couldn't count the chances of the cost
But I can't help thinking about the days
Of way back when
And I know I wanna taste them once again
Yes I know I wanna taste them once again
Got some things to be said
Going round in my head
Time to get out of bed
Cause I've slept too long
And I know there's a place I belong
Yeah

Coming back for one more bite of the apple
Tastes as sweet
It's the nectar of life
And you know that it's right
Cause you know you're not out there alone
And that one more bite of the apple is all
You gonna need to bring it home
Was a time that I won't ever forget
They were times that I will never regrait
I've been thinking about those days
Since way back when
And thinking I could bring back again
Just maybe I could bring them back again
One more dance in the night
One more chance to get it right
One more creditful gras wind it's flying by
One more toaste to the mud in your eye
Yeah

Coming back for one more bite of the apple
Tastes as sweet
It's the nectar of life
And you know that it's right
Cause you know you're not out there alone
Coming back
And sitting that fight on the saddle
All I want
Is to do it once more
Let me get through that door
Cause I still do believe that I can
Want that one more bite of the apple
And just a chance to taste it once again
Been around the world a time or two
Everywhere I've been I thought of me and you
I was hoping you'd remember how it used to be
And maybe that you'd still remember me
And that apple just as sweet as it could be
Reach right up and pick one of that apple tree
