"Sweetheart Of The Year"

"Sweetheart Of The Year"



As usual I'll be working when she reads the morning paper
And oh how I wish I could be home so I could see
My darling's face light up when she sees her picture in the paper
And this message underneath to her from me
Happy anniversary sweetheart to you from me
Thanks for loving me another year
I wanted our whole town to see the woman who consistently
Has been the sweetest sweetheart of the year
Happy anniversary...

"Swinging Doors (Swan In Doors)"

"Swinging Doors (Swan In Doors)"



This old smoke filled bar is something I'm not used to
But I gave up my home to see you satisfied
And I just called to let you know where I'm livin'
It's not much but I feel welcome here inside
I've got swinging doors a jukebox and a bar stool
And my new home has a flashing neon sign
Stop by and see me anytime you want to
Cause I'm always here at home till closing time

I've got everything I need to drive me crazy
And I've got everything it takes to lose my mind
And in here the atmosphere's just right for heartaches
And thanks to you I'm always here till closing time
I've got swinging doors

"Take Me As I Am (Or Let Me Go)"

"Take Me As I Am (Or Let Me Go)"



Why must you always try to make me over
take me as I am or let me go
White lilies never grow on stalks of clover
take me as I am or let me go
You're trying to reshape me
like your old love
In the image of the one
you used to know
But I won't be a stand in for an old love
take me as I am or let me go
You're trying to reshape me
like your old love
In the image of the one
you used to know
But I won't be a stand in for an old love
take me as I am or let me go

"Take These Chains From My Heart"

"Take These Chains From My Heart"



Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on

Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that used to be
If you love somebody new let me find a new love too

Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Give my heart just a word of sympathy be
As fair to my heart as you can be
Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

"Talk To Your Heart"

"Talk To Your Heart"



When your alone at night with the world locked outside
Have a talk to your heart about me
If your's told that it's right that we stay apart
Then let me come in and talk to your heart

Lovin' you changed my life in just one day
I'm waiting to hear what your heart will say
If your told that it's right that we stay apart
Then let me come in and talk to your heart

Believe you me there will be happiness when
You open your door and let me come in
If your told that it's right that we stay apart
Then let me come in and talk to your heart

So talk to your heart if it can't decide
Remember my own is waiting outside
Waiting alone outside in the dark
So let me come in and talk to your heart

"Terrible Tangled Web"

"Terrible Tangled Web"



You've got a way of makin' me blue and I've got a way of hurtin' you too
Oh what a terrible tangled web we're we
You've got a gentleman of the side and I've got a friend that I'm tryin' to hide
Oh what a terrible tangled web we're we

We both got our way of goin' our way knowin' the cost gets greater each day
And I know you know we both know we both deceive
We've got a way of livin' a lie and lie's got a way of makin' us cry
Oh what a terrible tangled web we're we

Why'd've we have to settle for it how can we take too much more
It figures we both got the nerve to leave
We've got a way of livin' a lie...
Oh what a terrible tangled web we're we

"That's All She Wrote"

"That's All She Wrote"


I got a letter from my mama just a line or two
She said listen daddy your good girl's leavin' you
That's all she wrote didn't write no more
She'd left the gloom a hanging round my front door

Now I woke up this morning a quarter past three
I just couldn't realize this could happen to me
That's all she wrote

Now listen pretty mama you know you done me wrong
Didn't even give a warning till after you were gone
That's all you wrote
[ guitar ]
Now someday you'll be sorry your heart will ache with pain
You'd give a million dollars to write that note again
That's all you wrote

Now listen all you ramblers who think your girl is true
Don't ever be too certain or you'll be singing too
That's all she wrote

I'll always love you honey although you done me wrong
But when you ask forgiveness I'll just say travel on
That's all I'll write won't write more
The gloom will then be hanging round your front door

"That's All That Matters"

"That's All That Matters"



I know I'm not your first love but there'll just be past memory
For I'm the one that's got you now that's all that matters to me
I know other arms have held you but I'm not jealous of these
For mine are the arms that hold you now and that's all that matters to me
I came alive when you came along you brought life back to me
And I don't care what's in your past you're as far as I can see
I know other lips have kissed you I know you've been thrilled and pleased
But mine are the lips that kiss you now and that's all that matters to me
And that's all that matters to me

"That's The Only Way To Say Good Morning"

"That's The Only Way To Say Good Morning"



I can feel her gentle fingers tracing patterns on my skin
As the curtain of sleep rolls from my eyes
The motion of her warm young body as she moves close to me
With a taste of her sweet kiss I realize

That's the only way to say good morning
Makes a perfect day when you start it right
That's the only way to say good morning
And when a perfect day is over and we're lying here together
That's the only way to say goodnight

I can hear the raindrops falling on the window pane outside
Somewhere far away the thunder roars
Like the echo of my heartbeat as she sets my soul on fire
Making love is what the morning's for

That's the only way to say good morning...
That's the only way to say good morning...

"That's What Leaving's About"

"That's What Leaving's About"



It's that farewell time for talking
Time to say just what you're feeling
All the secrets you're concealing can come out
There's no reason for holding back
And that's what leaving's about.

There's no special form to follow
Just a point we can agree on
All the time for putting me on has ran out
I didn't always believe you girl
And that's what leaving's about.

It's about time all of the time
We spent together yet so all alone
And it's about people you and me
The two we've never known.

And there's a trace of recognition
That's been there since I first met you
But one day I will forget you I have no doubt
It may take of it long but then
That's what leaving's about...
