"Fools Rush In"

"Fools Rush In"



Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love
My heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care

Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

Just open up your heart and let this fool rush in
Well open up your heart and let this fool rush in

"For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her"

"For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her"



What a dream I had
Pressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline
Of smoky burgundy
Softer than the rain

I wandered empty streets down
Past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alleyways
As I walked on

And when you ran to me your
Cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields
Of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand

And when I awoke and
Felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair
With my grateful tears

Oh I love you girl
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you

"For You"

"For You"



I will gather stars out of the blue
For you, yes baby for you
I'll make a sting of pearls out of the dew
For you, yes baby for you

Over the highway and over the street
Carpets of clover I'll lay at your feet
Oh well there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
For you, yes baby for you

Over the highway and over the street
Carpets of clover I'll lay at your feet
Oh well there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
For you, yes baby for you
Oh I wouldn't do, yes baby for you
Oh I wouldn't do, yes baby for you

"For Your Sweet Love"

"For Your Sweet Love"



Take a piece of chalk, draw a line
Around the world about a hundred times
And that's how far I'd go For Your sweet love

Count all the rain in a million years
Make believe it's a million tears
Well, that's how much I'd cry for your sweet love

Here's everything that your worth to me
In one simple line
I'd go to the ends of the earth to be
Near you all the time

If I owned the earth with it's mountains high
The sun, the moon and the stars in the sky
We'll that's how much I'd give for your sweet love

Here's everything that your worth to me
In one simple line

Near you all the time

The sun, the moon and the stars in the sky
We'll that's how much I'd give for your sweet love

"From A Distance"

"From A Distance"




Oh I hate to love you
Love you from a distance
And everytime you write
I kiss your name

Oh I hate to love you
Love you from a distance
And loving you this way
Seems all in vain

Holding you in my dreams
Isn't quite the same it seems
I love you, but it's hard to do
From a thousand miles away

Oh I hate to love you
Love you from a distance
Just to kiss your lips
Is all I pray

Holding you in my dreams
Isn't quite the same it seems
I love you, but it's hard to do
From a thousand miles away

Well I'm gonna love you
but not from a distance
I'm comin' home to you
I'm gonna stay

Yes I'm gonna love you
But not from a distance
And when I hold you near
You'll hear me say

"Funny How Time Slips Away"

"Funny How Time Slips Away"



Well hello there
My it's been a long, long time
How'm I doin'
Well I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now, and it seems now
That it was only yesterday
Gee it's funny how time slips away

How's your new love
I hope that he's doin' fine
I heard you told him
That you'd love him till the end of time
Now that's the same thing that you told me
And it seems like yesterday
Gee it's funny how time slips away

I gotta go now
I guess I'll see you around
I don't know when though
Never know when I'll be back in town
But remember, when I tell you
That in time you're gonna pay
And it's surprisin' how time slips away

"Garden Party"

"Garden Party"



I went to a garden party
To reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories
And play our songs again
When I got to the garden party
They all knew my name
No one recognized me
I didn't look the same

But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone
So ya got to please yourself

People came from miles around
Everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus
There was magic in the air
'N' over in the corner
Much to my surprise
Mr Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes
Wearing his disguise

But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone
So ya got to please yourself

Lott-in-dah-dah
lot-in-dah-dah-dah

Played them all the old songs
Thought that's why they came
No one heard the music
We didn't look the same
I said hello to "Mary Lou"
She belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk
It was time to leave

But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone
So ya got to please yourself

Lot-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)
Lot-in-dah-dah-dah

Someone opened up a closet door
And out stepped Johnny B Goode
Playing guitar
Like a-ringin' a bell
And lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties
I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang
I rather drive a truck

But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone
So ya got to please yourself

Lot-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)
Lot-in-dah-dah-dah

'N' it's all right now
Learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself

"Georgia On My Mind"

"Georgia On My Mind"



Georgia, woh Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
I said Georgia, woh Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clear like moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Georgia, I said Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Woh yeah Georgia, I said Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
I said an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind

"Glory Train"

"Glory Train"



I want to ride that glory train
I want to ride, ride, ride that glory train
Yes, all I want to do
When my life on earth is through
Is to get aboard and ride that glory train

Ah, there's a ralroad train that's leavin'
Just rolling down the track
And the passengers aboard it boy
They're never coming back
It's a glory train that's leaving
It's the train I long to ride
To that home way up in heaven
Where God's children all abide

I want to ride that glory train
I want to ride, ride, ride that glory train
Yes, all I want to do
When my life on earth is through
Is to get aboard and ride that glory train

Hear the thunder of engine
Get aboard her if you can
For the final destination
Is that far off promised land
Where the master will be waiting
In his home way up above
Just to fill our hearts with gladness
And his great eternal love

I want to ride that glory train
I want to ride, ride, ride that glory train
Yes, all I want to do
When my life on earth is through
Is to get aboard and ride that glory train

When you get down to the station
And the train's about to leave
You be sure to have a ticket
If you really do believe
That the Master's waiting for you
In his home way up above
Just to fill our hearts with gladness
And his great eternal love

I want to ride that glory train
I want to ride, ride, ride that glory train
Yes, all I want to do
When my life on earth is through
Is to get aboard and ride that glory train
Oh that glory train
Yes, that glory train
