"I Wouldn't Change You If I Could"

"I Wouldn't Change You If I Could"

I wouldn't change a single thing about you if I could
The way you are just suits me too a tee
A princess in a storybook
A king upon his throne
That's what we are and you belong too me.

I wouldn't change you if I could
I love you as you are
You're all that I would wish for
If I wished upon a star
An angel sent from heaven
You're everything that's good
You're perfect just the way you are
I wouldn't change you if I could.

Your eyes your lips, your tender smile
I'd leave them as they are
And come what may I'd never change a thing
And if I were a potter
And you a piece of clay
The only thing I'd change would be your name.

I wouldn't change you if I could
I love you as you are
You're all that I would wish for
If I wished upon a star
An angel sent from heaven
You're everything that's good
You're perfect just the way you are
I wouldn't change you if I could...

"I'll Take The Blame"

"I'll Take The Blame"

You say I've done you wrong,
I've wrecked the happy home.
We've tried so many times, we both know when.
Let's take another chance,
To renew an old romance.
And if we love each other, time will tell.

Oh, I know, dear, what it means to live without you.
These lonely nights are drivin' me insane.
But before I'll hurt the one I love so dearly,
When people ask what's wrong, I'll take the blame.

Well, I know, dear, what it means to live without you.
These lonely nights are drivin' me insane.
But before I'll hurt the one I love so dearly,
When people ask what's wrong, I'll take the blame.

Yes, when people ask what's wrong, I'll take the blame.

"I'm Awake Now"

"I'm Awake Now"

I'm Awake Now, No Mistake Now,
I'm Awake.
It's OK Now, I'm Safe Now,
I'm Awake, I'm Awake, I'm Awake Now.

For Those Of You Who Think I'm Sleepin'
As You Stand Beside The Bed,
For Those of You Who May Be Weepin',
Don't Look For Me Among The Dead.

I'm Awake Now, No Mistake Now,
I'm Awake.
It's OK Now, I'm Safe Now,
I'm Awake, I'm Awake, I'm Awake Now.

As I Move Into The Clearing,
Familiar Faces All Around,
There's This Music That I'm Hearing,
Wonderful, Other-Worldly Sound.

I'm Awake Now, No Mistake Now,
I'm Awake.
It's OK Now, I'm Safe Now,
I'm Awake, I'm Awake, I'm Awake Now.

Ooooh, Ohhhh....

I Wondered If I Would Get Through It
And Come Out On The Other Side.
What You've Heard- There's Something To It,
And Now My Eyes Are Open Wide.

I'm Awake Now, No Mistake Now,
I'm Awake.
It's OK Now, I'm Safe Now,
I'm Awake, I'm Awake, I'm Awake Now.
I'm Safe. It's OK now.
I'm Awake, I'm Awake Now.

"I'm Beside Myself"

"I'm Beside Myself"

I'd grown so used to you I took for granted
Fire of love we built would always burn
And now I stand alone among the ashes
And losin' was the hardest way to learn.

When I think what I've lost it drives me crazy
Lately I've been crazy all the time
Things I do are starting to amaze me
'Cause I can't seem to get you off my mind.

By my side where I need you
By my side no one else
I need you always beside me
'Cause without you I'm beside myself.

I need you always beside me
'Cause without you I'm beside myself.
Now without you I'm beside myself...

"I'm Head Over Heels In Love"

"I'm Head Over Heels In Love"

I think I'll go across the ocean if I don't lose my notion
I just got to forget you if I can
I'm feeling so blue that I don't know what to do
'Cause I'm head over heels in love with you.

All the nights are sad and lonely cause I'm thinking of you only
I just can't sleep and I lay down
I'm feeling so blue and I don't know what to do
'Cause I'm head over heels in love with you.

Well, I'd like to be forgiven but this life ain't worth livin'
If all I do is worry over you
I'm feeling so blue, I don't know what to do
'Cause I'm head over heels in love with you.

I'm feeling so blue, I don't know what to do
'Cause I'm head over heels in love with you.

"I'm Ready To Go"

"I'm Ready To Go"

Hallelujah, I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah, I'm ready
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.

In the darkness of night not a star was in sight
On a highway that leads down below
Then Jesus came in and saved my soul from sin
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.

Hallelujah, I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah, I'm ready
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.

Sinners don't wait before it's too late
He's a wonderful Saviour you know
Well I fell on my knees when I answered my pleas
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.

Hallelujah, I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah, I'm ready
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.

Hallelujah, I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah, I'm ready
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.

Hallelujah, I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah, I'm ready
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.

"I'm Tired"

"I'm Tired"

Standing on the corner of a busy street
Looking for your face in every crowd I meet
Searching every honky tonk in this town
Trying to find the places where you hang around
Oh Lord, I'm tired, tired of living this old way.

Well, I've been searching for you baby night and day
Wondering if your love will ever come my way
My time is running out and I'm slowing down
Tired of being just another hang around
Oh Lord, I'm tired, tired of living this old way.

There ain't no happiness in anything I do
I find myself so lonely when I'm not with you
What makes you just the kind of girl a guy could love
You've got so many others that you're thinking of
Oh Lord, I'm tired, tired of living this old way.

Oh Lord, I'm tired
Tired of living this old way...

"I've Got A New Heartache"
(originally by Ray Price)

"I've Got A New Heartache"
(originally by Ray Price)

You're back in town again spreadin' talk around
That I'm still in love with you though you let me down
I hate to admit it but I guess the talk is true
Or else you couldn't make my heart ache the way you do
I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
That left me for somebody new
I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
And that's why I'm feeling so blue
Why did you turn up again I was doing fine
I'd found another sweetheart to drive you from my mind
I thought that I'd forgotten you but I know that it's not true
Or else you couldn't make my heart ache the way you do
I've got a new heartache...

"If I Had It All Again To Do"

"If I Had It All Again To Do"

It was good enough for my dad and his daddy too
A cattle farm down by a little stream
A child that was so happy became restless as I grew
'Till it was no longer good enough for me
It's where seven generations made their livin' and their life
I would be the first to move away
I still see mom and daddy as they waved me goodbye
And the painful tears runnin' down their face
The world was changin' around us
I thought I had to follow too
But I'd sure make a world of changes
If I had it all again to do
The place just slowly ran down as time passed on through
Dad just didn't have the hands to make it go
And all of my brothers soon went their own way too
Chasin' something they'd still never know
The world was changin' around us
I thought I had to follow too
But I'd sure make a world of changes
If I had it all again to do
If I had it all again to do

"If I Lose"

"If I Lose"

I never thought I'd need you
But now I find I'm wrong
Come on back, sweet Mama
Back where you belong
I've rambled over town
To find that I can't win
Come on back and pick me up again.

Now if I lose (if I lose)
Let me lose (let me lose)
I don't care (I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime
My baby, she's got money all the time.

Of all the other gals I've known
There's none to take your place
'Cause when I get into a jam
They just ain't in the race
So now that you're back here
Let's take another round
With you here by my side
Babe, the deal just can't go down.

Now if I lose (if I lose)
Let me lose (let me lose)
I don't care (I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime
My baby, she's got money all the time.

Now if I lose (if I lose)
Let me lose (let me lose)
I don't care (I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime
My baby, she's got money all the time...
