"Nobody Likes Sad Songs"

"Nobody Likes Sad Songs"


You've seen the way I entertain a crowd.
I use to pack 'em in for miles around.
And I play the happy songs that made 'em smile.
Why'd she want to go and change my style?

Nobody like sad songs, ones about devise,
Songs about broken hearts with tears in your eyes.
Nobody like sad songs - since you went away.
Seems like sad songs are all I can play.

A crowd gets restless, they drift away.
Lately no one wants to hear me play.
I tried to do the songs I use to do
Ah, but then I think of you.

Nobody like sad songs, ones about devise,
Songs about broken hearts with tears in your eyes.
Nobody like sad songs - since you went away.
Seems like sad songs are all I can play.

The boss just told me
Ronnie, things aren't going well
He's gonna let me go, I can tell.
He said what happened son, you had it made
Why'd you change the way you played.

Cause, nobody like sad songs, ones about devise,
Songs about broken hearts with tears in your eyes.
Nobody like sad songs - since you went away.
Seems like, seems like sad songs are all I can play.

Nobody like sad songs, ones about devise,
Songs about broken hearts with tears in your eyes.
Nobody like sad songs - since you went away.
Seems like sad songs are all I can play.

Nobody like sad songs, ones about devise,
Songs about broken hearts, with tears in your eyes
Nobody like sad songs, since you went away.
You know it seems like sad songs are all I can play.

"Not That I Care"

"Not That I Care"


So you saw her last night with her new love
Yes they tell me they make quite a pair
And that they both look happy together
I just wonder, not that I care.
Tell me did she look lovely as ever
Like an angel with golden hair
Does she still close her eyes when she dances
I just wonder, not that I care.
Once I thought I couldn't live without her
Funny how wrong I could be
Now I hardly ever think about her
What she does, doesn't mean a thing to me.
Well, it's late so I guess I'll be going
Too much smoke, what I need is some air
By the way did she ask you about me
I just wonder, not that I care.
I just wonder, not that I care...

"O Holy Night"

"O Holy Night"


O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees, o hear, hear the angel voices
O night divine, o night when Christ was born
O night divine, o night, o night divine
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
And in his name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Fall on your knees, o hear, hear the angel voices
O night divine, o night when Christ was born
O night divine, o night, o night divine, o night divine

"One Night"

"One Night"


Call me a fool, send me away
I've got to say it's you I adore
Alone and in love, fallin' apart
I followed my heart straight to your door.

Face to face, with all honesty
I would be grateful if you'd give to me
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
To make every dream you ever had come true
Woh-oh, in one night
Oh, one night with you.

Standin' this close, the sound of your voice
Leaves me no choice, I offer my love
Am I so wrong to think you might fall
'Cause baby you're all I can think of.

Face to face, with all honesty
I would be grateful if you'd give to me
Just one night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
To make every dream you ever had come true
Woh-oh, in one night
Oh, one night with you.

One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
For one night (one night)
To lay, to lay in your arms
One night (one night)
Could it be that I was born
For one night (one night)
I need one night (one night)
One night (one night)
To lay, to lay in your arms
One night (one night)
Could it be that I was born
For one night (one night)
Oh, give me one night
(One night, please, please, one night)...

"Only One Love In My Life"

"Only One Love In My Life"


So many times
These few dreams of mine
Seem hidden behind
A mountain too high to climb
But you were the one
Who said, 'go on, follow your star'

When the song in my heart
Was just a voice in the dark
You could hear my mellow key

There's only one moon
That shines in the night
And only one love in my life

Only one love in my life,
Only one love in my life
I'm a ship on the open ocean darling
You're my guiding light

The radio played
My new song today
And I heard someone say
Man, he sure got it made'

If only they knew how much you
Have made of me
Together we came
From nowhere to fame
And I never could have made it
Alone

For me there's only one moon
That shines in the night
And only one love in my life

Only one love in my life,
Only one love in my life
I'm a ship on the open ocean
Darling, you're my guiding light!
Yeah!

Only one love in my life,
Only one love in my life
I'm a ship on the open ocean
Darling, you're my guiding light!
Yeah!

You're my guiding light
And you're the only love in my life

"Only One Night Of The Year"

"Only One Night Of The Year"


There's a magic light in the stars tonight
It shines with a wondrous glow
There's a whisper of love in the silence of
Gently falling snow
There's cookies and milk on the table
Ribbons on bright candy canes
And every child who is able
Has their nose to the window pane

'Cause for only one night of the year
You can see flying reindeer
And if you believe in Christmas' Eve
There's no telling who will appear
With his whiskers and pipe
He comes only one night of the year

It's the sugar plum world of cinnamon swirls
A hints of pinewood in the air
As the church bell chimes about twelve times
I slip into my easy chair
To watch the fire die to an ember
And drift into a winter dream
Of a magical night in December
And faith in a sight unseen

And for only one night of the year
You can see flying reindeer
And if you believe in Christmas Eve
There's no telling who will appear
With his whiskers and pipe
He comes only one night of the year

Ummmm, if you believe in Christmas Eve
Raise a glass of good cheer
'Cause wish as we might
It comes only one night of the year

"Peace In The Valley"

"Peace In The Valley"


Oh well, I'm tired and so weary but I must travel on
Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well, the morning's so bright and the Lamb is the light
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes
There will be peace in the valley for me, someday
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord, I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow and no trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me
Oh well, the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild will be led by a child
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes
There will be peace in the valley for me, someday
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord, I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow and no trouble I see
(Oh, my Lordy)
There will be peace in the valley for me
Oh, there'll be no sadness, no sorrow and no trouble I see
(Oh, my Lordy)
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

"People Get Ready"
(originally by The Impressions)



Yeah, and now people, get ready, there's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
That's right, oh
People, get ready for there's a train to Jordan
It's picking up passengers from coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board them
There's hope for all among those loved the most
And I hope that's you
And I hope that's me too
Yeah, there ain't no hope for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there's no hiding place against the Kingdom's Throne
So, people, get ready, there's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming
You don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
You don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
You don't need no ticket, I said, Jesus is your ticket
You don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord, yeah
Oh, people get ready

"Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends"

"Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends"


This could be our last goodnight together
We may never pass this way again
Just let me enjoy 'till its over or forever
Please don't tell me how the story ends.

See the way our shadows come together
Softer than your fingers on my skin
Someday this may be all that we'll remember of each other
Please don't tell me how the story ends.

Never's just the echo of forever
Lonesome as the love that might have been
Just let me go on loving and believing 'til it's over
Please don't tell me how the story ends.

Please don't tell me how the story ends...

"Precious Memories"

"Precious Memories"


Precious memories, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger ever near me
And the sacred past unfold
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
As I travel on life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold
As I ponder hope grows fonder
Precious memories flood my soul
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
Oh, precious memories flood my soul
Oh, precious memories flood my soul
