"Silver Bells"

"Silver Bells"


Christmas makes you feel emotional
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens or what may be,
Here is what Christmas time means to me.

City sidewalk, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style.
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas.

Children laughing, people passing,
Meeting smile after smile,
And on every street corner you'll hear:

Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.

City street lights, even stop lights,
Blink a bright red and green,
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch,
This is Santa's big scene,
And above all this bustle you'll hear:

Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day

"Sleepless Nights"
(feat. Vince Gill)
(originally by Everly Brothers)



Through the sleepless nights I cry for you
And wonder who is kissing you
Oh, these sleepless nights will break my heart in two

Somehow through the day I don't give in
I hide the tears that wait within
Oh, but through these sleepless nights I cry again

Why did you go? Why did you go?
Don't you know, don't you know I need you?

Through the sleepless nights I cry for you
And wonder who is kissing you
Oh, these sleepless nights will break my heart in two

Why did you go? Why did you go?
Don't you know, don't you know I need you?

I keep hoping you'll come back to me
Oh, let it be, please let it be
Oh, my love, please end these sleepless nights for me

These sleepless nights will break my heart
Oh, these sleepless nights will break my heart in two

"Slow Healin' Heart"

"Slow Healin' Heart"


When I left
I left walkin' wounded
And made my escape from the rain still a prisoner of hurt
I had months worth the work
Freein' my mind of the pain
I had hours to sit alone in the dark
Listenin' to sad songs
And comin' apart
Lord knows I made cryin' an art
We give a slow healing heart

Slow healing heart
Dyin' to mend
It's longing for love
Lonely again
When a spirit is broken
And the memories start
Nothing moves slower
Than a slow healing heart

How I prayed for blind faith to lead me
To places where I'm not afraid
Now I'm doing fine
Both in body and mind
Some hurts take longer to fade
There's a part of my feelings
Ever on guard
Against looks that are tender
Words that are hard
I still remember those cutting remarks
We give a slow healing heart

A slow healing heart
Is dying to mend
Longing for love
Lonely again
When the spirit is broken
And the memories start
Nothing moves slower
Than a slow healing heart

Nothing moves slower
Than a slow healing heart

"So Good To Be In Love"

"So Good To Be In Love"


Well it's been a long time
Since I thought about a man
I never think about maybe
Givin' him a hand
I don't have to think twice
When it comes to you
I only have to ask
Once for me to say I do

Baby baby you're my world
Present to live here for this here girl
You hung the moon and the stars above
Baby baby
So good to be in love

Well you make it so easy
You take a second chance
Open up my heart
And gamble on romance
I want to be there
Every night and every day
When I think about you
I get carried away

Baby baby you're my world
Present to live for this here girl
You hung the moon and the stars above
Baby baby
So good to be in love

Ohh baby baby you're my world
Present to live for this here girl
You hung the moon and the stars above
Baby baby
So good to be in love
So good to be in love

"Some Blue Moons Ago"

"Some Blue Moons Ago"


Sensitivity ain't your style
A cheap box of candy
And an Elvis smile
Drove me wild
That was some blue moons ago

Used to thrill me when you hold me tight
But I don't want another summers night
Baby, it's alright
That was some blue moons ago

I need a warm romance
You gotta take a chance
You gotta let those feelin's show
You need to give and take
Come on communicate
Baby love's not touch and go
Like it was some blue moons ago

Come on baby, it's a brand new day
I need your love, but in a different way
Hold me honey
It don't take much All I need is just a little touch
I'm not hangin' on to yesterday
We need the kind of love
That's built to stay
Baby here today
Not some blue moons ago

I need a warm romance
You gotta take a chance
You gotta let those feelin's show
You need to give and take
Come on communicate
Baby love's not touch and go
Like it was some blue moons ago

Some blue moons ago
Some blue moons ago
Some blue moons ago

"Some Morning Soon"

"Some Morning Soon"


The wind is cold,
I walk alone
My head is hanging low
The friend I found within myself
Is the only one I know

The blossoms of the dogwood tree
Have fallen all away
And like our love they lay to rest
Beneath the red, red clay

Some morning soon before the dawn
I'll wake to find you gone
I'm learning how to lose you now
And how to carry on

Your love, your love has known to fears
Your heart can feel no pain
I know, I know you'll soon be gone
To ride that midnight train

Some morning soon before the dawn
I'll wake to fine you gone
I'm learning how to loose you now
And how to carry on

I'm learning how to loose you now
And how to carry on.

"Someday I Will Lead The Parade"

"Someday I Will Lead The Parade"


After all my lonely nights
Without an end in sight
A morning shining bright for me awaits
Where the sweetest times will last
All's forgiven from the past

Someday I will
One day I know I will
Someday I will lead the parade

Though they've scattered through the years
Old friends will gather near
With nothing but the kindest words to say
And the sweetest times will last
All's forgiven from the past

Someday I will
One day I know I will
Someday I will lead the parade

And the sweetest times will last
All's forgiven from the past
Someday I will lead the parade

"Someone I Used To Know"

"Someone I Used To Know"


There's a picture that I carry
One we made sometime ago
When they ask who's in the picture with me
I say, just someone I used to know

Just someone I used to spend some time with
Just a flame that's lost its glow
I don't tell them, how many nights I cry without you
I say, just someone I used to know

Just someone I used to run around with
Just a friend from long ago
But, I don't tell them, how lost I am without you
I say, just someone I used to know
I say, just someone I used to know

"Sorrowful Angels"

"Sorrowful Angels"


She loved him most when his eyes were gray
The palest shade of a winter day
They filled her with a raging fire
And a bittersweet desire

She shined for him like candlelight
That softly beckons in the night
But he said no right to her face
Then simply turned and walked away

All Heaven watched from way on high
True love given and denied
And while her heart was broke and bleeding
Sorrowful angels wept into their wings

She wore him like a lock and chain
Only in dreams she spoke his name
By day it slipped upon her tongue
The taste of unrequited love

Now her hair is long and gray
The palest shade of a winter day
She never took a ring of gold
She swears she never loved a soul

"Soul Of Constant Sorrow"

"Soul Of Constant Sorrow"


I am a soul of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to east Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised
For many a year I have struggled
No pleasure here on Earth I've found
All through this world I'm bound to wander
There is no one to help me now
You can bury me in some deep valley
For many a year in peace I'll lay
Then you may learn to love another
While I am sleeping in my grave
It's fare-thee-well my one true lover
I never 'spect to see you again
But there's one promise that is given
I'll meet you in God's golden land
