"When Your Lover Has Gone"

"When Your Lover Has Gone"



When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone

What lonely hours the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

What lonely hours the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

When your lover has gone
When your lover has gone

"Wild Nights In Tulsa"

"Wild Nights In Tulsa"



Here I am in L.A. and L.A.'s been bringin' me down
I only have but one reason mama, for stayin' here in this old town
The air I'm breathin' is heavy, and you've been out sneakin' around
It may be rainin' in Tulsa child, but if you need me that's where I'll be found

I'm dreamin' of wild nights in Tulsa
Old nights out on the town
Dramin' of wild nights in Tulsa
Tulsa won't let me down

I dreamed I left old L.A., left it for the highway sound
I can't wait to get back home, Tulsa used to be my town
I slid into Junior's place to fix myself a couple of brews
I settled back in a big soft chair and put my lovin' arms around you

I'm dreamin' of wild nights in Tulsa
Old nights out on the town
Dramin' of wild nights in Tulsa
Tulsa won't let me down

I woke up from a deep sleep, thinkin' about how long I've been gone
It's sure nice to think about you, Tulsa is the place I was born
I remember the good times, and now I'm gonna make it last
Yes I'm finally gonna get back home, do some catchin' up with the past

I'm dreamin' of wild nights in Tulsa
Old nights out on the town
Dramin' of wild nights in Tulsa
Tulsa won't let me down

I'm dreamin' of wild nights in Tulsa
Old nights out on the town
Dramin' of wild nights in Tulsa
Tulsa won't let me down

"Windfall"

"Windfall"



Have you ever heard the windfall
Have you ever heard the leaves call
Take a look inside your feelings
Hear the music as the river sings

And if you've never heard these things
Then love has flown on faceless wings
'Cause that's where love begins, within' you

Have you ever watched an eagle as she flies
Spinning circles in the corner's of the sky
Do you wonder why she's hiding in the night
Does she wonder why you're hiding in the light

And if you've never heard these things
Then love has flown on faceless wings
'Cause that's where love begins, within' you

Have you ever heard the windfall
Have you ever heard the leaves call
Can you feel the truth within' you
Can you see yourself begin to

And if you've never heard these things
Then love has flown on faceless wings
'Cause that's where love begins, within' you

And if you've never heard these things
Then love has flown on faceless wings
'Cause that's where love begins, within' you

"Wings"

"Wings"



Seen it written and I've heard it told
That a man does things for gold
Drives him crazy and it makes him old
Before his time

Sittin' 'round waitin' for the rainbow's end
Wastin' time and loosin' friends
Never knowin' that it ends before his eyes
But those of us who seek the truth
Will be there when she rides

Talkin' 'bout wings
To carry us over the water
Talkin' 'bout wings
Pickin' us up by the waves
Aw, so many things can breed misunderstandin'
We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings

Once met a man and his words were wise
And he looked me in the eyes
he said brother don't you compromise
What you feel

All things figure in a bigger plan
And it's up to veryman
Just to do the best to reach his own ideals
And build a world around himself
And live it like he feels
Talkin' 'bout wings
To carry us over the water
Talkin' 'bout wings
Pickin' us up by the waves
Aw, so many things can breed misunderstandin'
We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings

Talkin' 'bout wings
To carry us over the water
Talkin' 'bout wings
Pickin' us up by the waves
Aw, so many things can breed misunderstandin'
We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings

Talkin' 'bout wings
To carry us over the water
Talkin' 'bout wings
Pickin' us up by the waves
Aw, so many things can breed misunderstandin'
We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings

"Without Her"

"Without Her"



I spend a night in the chair
Thinking she'll be there but she never comes
And I wake up and wipe the smile from my eyes
And I rise
To face another day without her

It's just no good anymore
When you walk through the door of an empty room
And then you go inside and set a table for one
It's no fun
To spend another day without her

We burst a pretty balloon, took us to the moon
Such a beautiful thing, but it's ended now
And it sounds like a lie if I say I'd rather die
Then live without her

Love is a beautiful thing when it knows
How to swing and groove like a clock
But the hands on the clock tell the lovers to part
And it's breakin' my heart
To spend another day without her

Can't go on without her
It's all wrong without her
Can't go on without her
It's all wrong without her
Can't go on without her
It's all wrong without her

"Yes Sir, That's My Baby"

"Yes Sir, That's My Baby"



...that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now

Yes, ma'm, we've decided
No ma'm, we ain't gonna hide it
Yes, ma'm, you're invited now

By the way, by the way
When we walk up to the preacher I'll say

Yes sir, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now

By the way, by the way
When we run into the preacher I'll say

I'll say yes sir, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now
Mmm

"Yesterday's Love"

"Yesterday's Love"



When I get to thinking about the past
And all of the good things that were too good to last
I cry in my heart for each little part
Of yesterday's love

A few tender moments when heaven was mine
The vows that you whispered
With each kiss was divine
How empty they seem, they're lost in a dream
With yesterday's love

Somewhere I lost you along the way
Lost without knowing the price that I'd pay
I can't help but wonder how things would have been
If I could start over and try it again

But love has its problems and bridges to burn
You have to cross over and you never return
For dreams have their day and then fade away
With yesterday's love
Yesterday's love

"You Are My Sunshine"

"You Are My Sunshine"



You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night dear as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke dear I was mistaken
And I held my head and cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away

"You Are The Only One"

"You Are The Only One"


[Chorus:]
You are the only one
My one and only one
Together we've had a lot of fun
But what'll I do if you leave me?

If someone else should come along
And take your love from me
Darlin', you could never know
How lonely I would be

[Chorus]

I tried to be the kinda guy
You'd wanna call your own
So please don't go and throw away
The truest love you've known

[Chorus]

What'll I do if you ever take your love from me?
'cause in your arms is where I always wanna be

If you should ever go away
My eyes would fill with tears
And the heartaches I would feel
Would last a thousand years
