"If That's The Way You Feel"

"If That's The Way You Feel"



I don't blame you for I know you want him,
That your love for me was never real.
I could hold you but you'd be unhappy,
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.
I know that I will always go on caring,
And my feelings, now, I must conceal.
I still need you and I want you with me,
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.

I always knew someday I would lose you,
When those lies about me were revealed.
It's plain to see, sweetheart, you believe them,
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.

I know that I will always go on caring,
And my feelings, now, I must conceal.
I still need you and I want you with me,
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.

But it's all right if that's the way you feel.

"It's Never Too Late"

"It's Never Too Late"



Now darling, I've loved, I've never done wrong
I've been fair to you, you know all along
Why treat me this way, you're breaking my heart
I'm lonesome for you, we're so far apart.

It's never too late to start over new
I've loved you so long, you know I've been true
Please come back to me, my heart is so blue
It's never to late to start over new.

Now when you are tired your new love's gone down
I hope you'll return, I'll still be around
I love you so, well, you know I will wait
But remember these words, it's never too late...

"Jacob's Vision"

"Jacob's Vision"



Hallelujah to Jesus who died on the tree
To raise up this ladder of mercy for me
Press onward, climb upward, the top is in view
There's a crown of right glory awaiting for you.

As Jacob was traveling was weary one day
At night on a stone for a pillow did lay
A vision of fear for a ladder so high
It stood on the ground but the top reached the sky.

Hallelujah to Jesus who died on the tree
To raise up this ladder of mercy for me
Press onward, climb upward, the top is in view
There's a crown of right glory awaiting for you.

This ladder was tall but yet so well made
Stood thousands of years and never decayed
It went from the heavens it reeled and it rocked
But the angels they guard it from the bottom to top.
Hallelujah to Jesus who died on the tree
To raise up this ladder of mercy for me
Press onward, climb upward, the top is in view
There's a crown of right glory awaiting for you...

"Just The Two Of Us"

"Just The Two Of Us"



Hand in hand woman and man
We'll be together now and forever
Side by side till the end of time
Without any fuss just the two of us.

Just the two of us sharing our hearts
Nothin' in this world gonna tear us apart
Everyday falling deeper in love just the two of us
Just the two of us.

Winds may blow hearts grow cold
But we won't give up just the two of us
Storms might come and try to make it rough
But we won't budge just the two of us.

Just the two of us sharing our hearts
Nothin' in this world gonna tear us apart
Everyday falling deeper in love just the two of us
Just the two of us.

Just the two of us sharing our hearts
Nothin' in this world gonna tear us apart
Everyday falling deeper in love just the two of us
Just the two of us.

Just the two of us.
Just the two of us..

"Keep A Memory"

"Keep A Memory"



Keep a memory of our love dear
Never ever let it stray
Why betray the heart you've broken
I'll find happiness some way.

When I think about you darling
I often hang my head and cry
Words just can't explain my feelings
Just to know I've lived a lie.

Keep a memory of our love dear
Never ever let it stray
Why betray the heart you've broken
I'll find happiness some way.

When our old friends ask about you
Many times I can't reply
Just the thought of your name darling
Makes me wish that I could die.

Keep a memory of our love dear
Never ever let it stray
Why betray the heart you've broken
I'll find happiness some way.

Keep a memory of our love dear
Never ever let it stray
Why betray the heart you've broken
I'll find happiness some way...

"Kentucky Thunder"

"Kentucky Thunder"



Daniel Boone cut his way into Kentucky
Indians call that place the dark and bloody ground
They opened up the wilderness with courage
And celebrated with an ol’ hoe down

I grew up in the shadow of the mountains
Where the creeks ran clear and the nine pound hammer swings
My folks taught me to have pride in ol’ Kentucky
And it wells inside me every time I sing

I hear the sound of horse’s hooves
McCoy-Hatfield mountain feuds
The bluegrass music, that’s Kentucky thunder
I hear the rumble from the mines
Up dark hollers the moon still shines
Sweet Kentucky girls are still the wonder

Lord and when I die, that’s where I want to lie
Until ol’ Gable blows his final number
And it rolls across the sky line

Kentucky thunder

My music carried me far from that ol’ home place
But my roots always ran to that rocky soil
Aw you can take the boy from ol’ Kentucky
But you can’t take Kentucky from the boy

I hear the sound of horse’s hooves
McCoy-Hatfield mountain feuds
The bluegrass music, that’s Kentucky thunder
I hear the rumble from the mines
Up dark hollers the moon still shines
Sweet Kentucky girls are still the wonder

Lord and when I die, that’s where I want to lie
Until ol’ Gable blows his final number
And it rolls across the sky line

Kentucky thunder
Kentucky thunder
Kentucky thunder
Kentucky thunder
Kentucky thunder

"Lead Me To The Rock"

"Lead Me To The Rock"



In seasons of grief,
To my Lord I'll repair,
When my heart is overwhelmed,
With its sorrows and cares

To the ends of the earth,
To my God I will fly,
Lead me to the rock,
That is higher than I.

Higher than I,
Higher than I,
Lead me to the rock,
That is higher than I.

When Satan the tempter,
Rolls in with a flood,
To drown my poor soul,
From its fountain of good

I will cling to the Savior,
Who humbly did die,
Lead me to the Rock,
That is higher than I.

Higher than I,
Higher than I,
Lead me to the rock,
That is higher than I.

"Let It Be You"

"Let It Be You"



If I could find a love to treasure with this heart and with these hands
I could build a strong foundation in a world of shifting sands
If I could show just what I've made up it'd be surprise what I can do
But I need someone to help me let it be you
Cause I ain't to find somebody who really understands
The things that make the difference between a woman and a man
Yeah I bet all my best intentions will never see me through
If I don't find what I'm missin' let it be you
Let it be you who wakes me in the morning
Let it be you who lays down with me each night
Side by side we can dream together
Let it come true let it be you
There are lessons in this life I can't learn all by myself
There's beauty I can only see through the eyes of someone else
There's a place I've always heard of only love can take me to
But I need someone beside me let it be you
Let it be you who wakes me in the morning...
Let it come true let it be you

"Let's Love The Bad Times Away"

"Let's Love The Bad Times Away"



Oh, please hold me one more time like you used to do
When you told me how your love would always be true
Let's remember together all the good times we had
And forget now the good times turned bad.

We've grown older and wiser after all we've been through
And this heartache reminds me how much I still love you
Let's forget all our failures the mistakes that we both made
And for the good times let's love the bad times away.

We've grown older and wiser after all we've been through
And this heartache reminds me how much I still love you
Let's forget all our failures the mistakes that we both made
And for the good times let's love the bad times away.

Oh, for the good times let's love the bad times away...
