"Raisin' Caine"

"Raisin' Caine"

She spent ev'ry night just Raisin' Caine
Johnny, Bill and Joe
They all meant the same
Tried to hide that deep inside her
Lay a woman, soft and tender
Needin' someone to defend her
She was just a great pretender
Raisin' Caine
Didn't take long to make up my mind
I just had to have that somethin' fine
So I got set to make her forget
All the boys that she knew before
Give her reason to love me for
Love her till she had no need for
Raisin' Caine.
I made her know my love will always be
And in a while she wanted only me
To give her lovin' yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been wed three years
To that girl I won
And I'm proud to say
We have ourselves a son
For a name called him Caine'
It didn't take long to discover
He had fire just like his mother
But that's O.K.
'Cause we've each other,
Raisin' Caine

"Recipe For Happiness"

"Recipe For Happiness"

For ev'ry guy who's got a girl
To aid him the social whirl,
I'd gladly give my recipe
I know it's good, it's worked for me

Take two hearts, a dash of tenderness
Mix them both and season with a kiss
That's the first part of my
Recipe for happiness

Take her smile,
Some yearning and desire,
Heat with love and soon,
You'll have a fire
You've almost got
My recipe for happiness

Hold her near at the proper time
Call her dear, it'll turn out fine
To reveal a touch of paradise,
Mix a ring, a dash of shoes and rice
Now you've found my
Recipe for happiness

"Red Rubber Ball"

"Red Rubber Ball"

I should have known
You'd bid me farewell
There's a lesson
To be learned from this
And I learned it very well
And now I know
You're not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again,
It's all the same to me

And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin'
Like a red rubber ball

You never cared for secrets I'd confide
For you I'm just an ornament
Somethin' for your pride
Always runnin', never carin'
That's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time
Were all you had to give

And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin'
Like a red rubber ball

The story's in the past
With nothin' to recall
I've got my life to live
And I don't need you at all
The roller coaster ride we took
Is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears
And that's all I'm gonna spend

And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin'
Like a red rubber ball
Whoa, oh,
Oh I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin'
Like a red rubber ball

"Red, Red Wine"

"Red, Red Wine"

Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that I
Still need her so

Red, red wine
It's up to you
All I can do, I've done
But memories won't go
No, memories won't go

I'd have sworn that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong, and I find
Just one thing makes me forget

Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart
My blue, blue heart

I'd have sworn that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong, and I find
Just one thing makes me forget

Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart
My blue, blue heart

"Remember Me"

"Remember Me"

Maybe tonight
Just for this moment
We'll feel the same thing we did before
Just close your eyes
And let me show you
You'll be my reason and I'll be yours
Remember me

Well, I'm the boy they stood in line for
Have you got
Just a little time for me tonight
I'll make you feel alright
Hey, do you remember me

Remember when
The world was ours for just one evening
Felt so warm,
Was hard believin' that it would end
But here we are again
Hey, do you remember me

Remember how
The music filled the empty spaces
And took us off
To distant places we'd never seen

Do you remember now
Still got my song and I can sing it
My guitar plays beneath my fingers
Warm baby, warm baby, warm
Say do you remember me

Well,
I'm the boy you gave your heart to
Don't you think
We've been apart too long this time
But you've been on my mind
Say do you remember me

Remember how
The music filled the empty spaces
And took us off
To distant places we'd never seen

Do you remember now
Well I still got my song and I can sing it
My guitar plays beneath my fingers
Warm baby, warm baby, warm
Say do you remember me

Maybe tonight
Just for this moment
We'll find the same thing we did before
Just close your eyes
And let me show you
You'll be my reason
And I'll be yours

Maybe tonight
Just for this moment
We'll feel the same things we did before
So just close your eyes
And maybe you'll know it
You'll be my reason
And I'll be yours
Remember me

"Reminisce For A While"

"Reminisce For A While"

Being here is being where I want to be
I don't suppose you'll ever know
How much you mean
And for all of the heartaches
We've been through
I know that I
Could not forget my time with you

I'd much rather stay
But I'll be on my way
And never again see you smile
For all that it's worth,
I'd move heaven and earth
To just reminisce for a while

There was a time
I had the will to carry on,
But I let go
Even though you're what I want
"Could have beens"
To keep you warm when I was gone
I never knew
That near to you's where I belong

I'd much rather stay
But I'll be on my way
And never again see you smile
For all that it's worth,
I'd move heaven and earth
To just reminisce for a while

I'd much rather stay
But I'll be on my way
And never again see you smile
For all that it's worth
I'd move heaven and earth
To just reminisce for a while
We'll just reminisce for a while

"River Deep-Mountain High"

"River Deep-Mountain High"

When you were a little girl
You had a rag doll
The only doll you've ever owned
Now I love you
Just the way you loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown

And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper baby, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day
Do I love you my, oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby
Baby, baby, baby

When you were a young girl
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful
As that puppy
You know I'll never let you down

Cause it goes on and on
Like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby
And heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby
As it grows

Do I love you my, oh my
River deep, mountain high
And if I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby
Baby, baby, baby

I love you baby
Like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby
Like a robin loves to sing
And I love you baby
Like a schoolboy loves his pi
And I love you baby
River deep, mountain high

Do I love you my, oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby
Baby, baby, baby
