"Somewhere In The Stars"

"Somewhere In The Stars"

Halfway 'round the planet
And the telephone won't do
I'm starin' up at midnight
But lookin' just for you
If you're aching in the starlight
And looking for me too
Then, gazing at the same sight
Might I not see you?

We'll rendezvous on Venus
And dance on Saturn's rings
We'll drink a little moonlight
And ride the old man's wings
I do believe you love me
I wish with all my might
Somewhere in the stars
I'll be meeting you tonight

With feet on terra firma
And heart in Milky Way
We'll ask the the old timekeeper
To look the other way

We'll rendezvous on Venus
Dance on Saturn's wings
We'll drink a little moonlight
And ride the old man's wings
I do believe you love me
I wish with all my might
Somewhere in the stars
I'll be meeting you tonight

"Somewhere Sometime"

"Somewhere Sometime"

We speak but the words we say mean nothing.
We smile but the smiles we give are wanting.
We look upon each other's eyes, no spark
No glow, no real signs, but we both know
This is all for show

Until that sometime, somewhere,
We could show the world we have each other
Sometime, somewhere we need not hide out feelings,
We just keep on believing that we both have the time together
Sometime and somewhere, our lips would be free at last
You say the words we've hungered to say

And we won't have to worry, we smile we won't say sorry
One look and we have cast our fears aside.
Sometime, that sometime will turn to forever, for all time.
Somewhere, our somewhere would not be just one place,
But everywhere

Until that sometime, somewhere,
We just have to be content with stealing glances
Somehow, content with saying nothing, smiles that are
Always wanting. Though deep inside it hurts
Because we know that our love, like love,
Is what it is, it's what we got
Our love, like love will have to wait
Until that sometime, somewhere

"Sweet Memories"

"Sweet Memories"

My world is like a river,
As dark as it is deep;
Night after night the past slips in
And gathers all my sleep.
My days are just an endless stream
Of emptiness to me,
Filled only by the fleeting
Moments of her memory.
Sweet memories, sweet memories
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm.

She slipped into the silence
Of my dreams last night;
Wandering from room to room,
She's turning on each light.
Her laughter spills like water from
The river, to the sea,
And I'm swept away from sadness,
Clinging to her memory.
Sweet memories, sweet memories
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm.
Sweet memories, sweet memories-
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm.

"Take Me, Take Me"

"Take Me, Take Me"

Take me, take me in your heart tonight
And make me think these things I say are right
In the morning I ignore the dawn
With a bag of dreams to a cold hard town
Take me, take me in your heart tonight

It's a easy thing to say you're leaving
I Know I've done it everywhere I've been
In the morning we'll know the truth
And it makes me want to shout out what's the use
So take me, take me in your heart tonight

Make me feel like I'll see you again
Let's pretend we're happy like old friends
Make believe there's nothing wrong
Though the time's too short for a love so strong
So take me, take me in your heart tonight

"Take These Chains From My Heart"

"Take These Chains From My Heart"

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You're grow cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that use to be
If you love somebody new let me me find a new love too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Give my heart just a word of sympathy
Be as fair to my heart as you can be
Then if you no longer care for the love being there
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You're grow cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

"Tears Falling Down"

"Tears Falling Down"

It's the ghost of a dream
That awakens me in the night
When no ones around
But I don't hear the sound
Of those tears falling down

And its the breath of a kiss
And so much tenderness
That drives my knees to the ground
But we don't hear the sound
Of those tears falling down

There's a river that won't forget
And a wind that gives us breath
But in the cradle of our fears
We sleep without tears

And it's your eyes close to mine
That lets in the light
That shows me where love can be found
But I don't hear the sound
Of those tears falling down

"Tell Heaven"

"Tell Heaven"

When you're like a broken bird
Tell heaven
Battered wings against a darkened day
When your worries won't let you sleep
Tell heaven
When the tears won't ever go away

If you got no one to love
Tell heaven
There's no one on the telephone today
When every story falls apart
Tell heaven
Nothing good seems like it'll come your way
Tell heaven
Tell heaven

With heavy hearts and empty rooms
Tell heaven
You don't have to know what you will say
The empty sky may never take our burdens
But something good will someday come our way
So tell heaven
Tell heaven

"Tennessee Flat Top Box"

"Tennessee Flat Top Box"

In a little cabaret
In a south Texas boarder town
Sat a boy and his guitar
And the people came from all around
And all the girls
From there to Austin
Were slippin' away from home
And puttin' jewelry and hopped to take the trip
To go and listen
To the little dark-haired boy who played the
Tennessee flat top box
And he would play

Well he couldn't ride or wrangle
And he never cared to make it down
But give him his guitar
And he'd be happy all the time
And all the girls
From nine to ninety
Were snappin' fingers
Tappin' toes
And beggin' him don't stop
And hypnotized
And fascinated
By the little dark-haired boy who played the
Tennessee flat top box
And he would play

Then one day he was gone
And no one ever saw him 'round
He vanished like the breeze
They forgot him in the little town
But all the girls
Still dreamed about him
And hung around
The cabaret until the doors were locked
And then one day
On the hit parade
Was the little dark-haired boy who played the
Tennessee flat top box
And he would play

"That's How I Got To Memphis"

"That's How I Got To Memphis"

If you love somebody enough
You'll follow wherever they go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
If you love somebody enough
You'll go where your heart wants to go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

I know if you've seen him
You'd tell me cause you're my friend
I've got to find him
And find out the trouble he's in
And if you tell me he's not here
You can follow the trail of my tears
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

He'd get mad and he used to say
He'd go back and find her someday
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
I haven't eaten a bite
Or slept for three days and nights
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

"The Good Intent"

"The Good Intent"

I sailed in on the good intent
With all intentions clear
A man without a mystery
A vision brought me here
The ocean gave me room to roam
But the shore is calling out
So I will marry, built a home
And see what that's about

Children came by the dozens then
Drifting south like rain
I worked the soil, I used the gun
The waves have to turned to grain
I tried to love this Arkansas
With black and bleeding hands
But I will not survive this life
But I'll become a man

My brother sold my mother's house
I never shed a tear
I could watch the world in smoke
There's nothin' for me here
I've seen behind the darkened vail
That's all I want to know

So I'll sail off on the good intent
To my true happy home
Yes, I sail off on the good intent
Never more to roam
