"The Same Street"
(originally by Don Gibson)


I still live on the same street, that we lived on.
The same old street, where memories were made on.

I shouldn't stay, why don't I go?
Each day hurts a little more.

It won't be the same street anymore, since you've gone.
It won't be the same street anymore.

Each day I walk alone, where we once walked before.
See all familiar places, where we talked before.

But I can't run from memories.
They're mine and they belong to me.

It won't be the same street anymore since you've gone.
It won't be the same street anymore.

"The Three Bells"

"The Three Bells"


There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Among the pine trees half forlorn
And there on a sunny morning
Little Jimmy Brown was born

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
All the chapel bells were ringing in the little valley town
And the song that they were singing was for baby Jimmy Brown
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation, bless this hour of meditation"
"Guide him with eternal love"

There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
And there, twenty years thereafter
Jimmy was to meet his love

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
All the chapel bells were ringing, 'twas a great day in his life
'cause the songs that they were singing was for Jimmy and his wife
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation, bless, oh Lord this celebration"
"May their lives be filled with love"

From the village hidden deep in the valley
One rainy morning dark and gray
A soul winged its way to heaven
Jimmy Brown had passed away

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
Just a lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town
'twas farewell that it was singing to our little Jimmy Brown
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation, may his soul find the salvation"
"Of thy great eternal love"

"The World You Live In"

"The World You Live In"


May the world you live in bring the good life
That grows sweeter as it mellows with time
May the world you live in be a world love lives in
A love like your love and mine

May the children you bear bring contentment
As you guide them with your gentle hand
May you know all the things true love can bring
Between a woman and a man

May the dreams that you build always be filled
Keep the love shining in your eyes
If the bad times or the sad times ever come to you
Let this man be the one that you always turn to

May the seasons of your life touch you gently
And may happiness you always find
May these arms that surround you always be around you
And the world that you live in forever be mine

"There Won't Be Many Coming Home"

"There Won't Be Many Coming Home"


Listen all you people
Try and understand
You may be a soldier
Woman, child or man

But there won't be many coming home
No, there won't be many coming home
Oh, there won't be many
Maybe ten out of twenty
But there won't be many coming home

Now the old folks will remember
On that dark and dismal day
How their hearts were choked with pride
As their children marched away
Now the glory is all gone
They are left alone

And there won't be many coming home
No, there won't be many coming home
Oh, there won't be many
Maybe five out of twenty
But there won't be many coming home

Look real closely at the soldier
Coming at you through the haze
He may be the younger brother who ran away
And before you kill another
Listen to what I say

Oh, there won't be many coming home
Oh, there won't be many coming home
Oh, there won't be many
There may not be any
But there won't be many coming home

If they all came back but one
He was still some mother's son
And there won't be many coming home

Oh, there won't be many coming home
Oh, there won't be many coming home
Oh, there won't be many coming home...

"There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight"
(originally by Hank Williams)

"There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight"
(originally by Hank Williams)


I'll pretend I'm free from sorrow
Make believe that wrong is right
Your wedding day will be tomorrow
But there'll be no teardrops tonight.

Why, oh why - should you desert me
Are you doin' this for spite
If you only want to hurt me
Then there'll be no teardrops tonight.

I'll believe that you still love me
When you wear your veil of white
But you think that you're above me
So there'll be no teardrops tonight.

Shame, oh shame - for what you're doin'
Other arms will hold you tight
You don't care whose life you ruin
But there'll be no teardrops tonight.

"This Is My Land"

"This Is My Land"


The sun on the rim of the hill overlooking all that I love
Lights up every leaf and blade, birds circling high above
With trembling hand I reach down and say "This is my land"

This land will pass on to my child, when he's grown
To love it as much as I, for all the sons gone by
And when he's a man he'll do what he can
For this my land, this is my land

When young men die in glory and for freedom take their stand
May they sing this same proud story, this is my land

When life fades away, and my body is laid to rest in the ground
May this comfort fill my soul here on the land, I know
That those after me say with much dignity
"This is my land, this is my land"

"This Is Your Song"

"This Is Your Song"


This is your song, to let you know how much I love you
You have my heart and I know I can't live without you

This is your song, to keep you when the nights are lonely
Only for you darling, you're all that I've waited for
And this song, my love is yours for evermore

And through the years you can be sure that I'll be faithful
My love for you will ever grow and this I will do
I will give my heart and song to you

"This Kind Of Love"

"This Kind Of Love"


Our Love, our love, won't die, can't die
This kind of love was meant for you and I
This kind of love was meant for you and I

Your love, my love young love, true love
This kind of love was meant for you and I
This kind of love was meant for you and I

One dream through life, one day my wife
This kind of love was meant for you and I
This kind of love was meant for you and I

One dream through life, one day my wife
This kind of love was meant for you and I
This kind of love was meant for you and I
This kind of love was meant for you and I

"Time Changed Everything"

"Time Changed Everything"


The town is not the same
My friends don't know my name
Lots of things have changed
Things seem so wrong
Since I've come home

It's been a year or so
Since I had to go
I wonder if she's waiting
Or has she betrayed
the promise she made

Now as I'm walking to her
My doubts are too much to bear
Was she faithful or untrue?
If I've lost her, what will I do
Now, we're face to face
As her eyes meet mine
The answer I find is
Time Changed Everything
Time Changed Everything
Time Changed Everything
But her

"Time To Cry"

"Time To Cry"


I see through teardrops
That old clock on the wall
The hands are far apart
They tell me that my heart misses you
And you're not with me
Guess it's time to cry
Yes it's time to cry

I hear the doorbell
The postman just came by
All he ever brings
Are bills and nothing things
Oh no, he returned your letter
And it's time to cry
Yes it's time to cry

Time to cry
Ever since you said goodbye
Time to cry
What else can I do but cry over you?

I just can't stand it
The telephone won't ring
The sun is out of sight
Another lonely night begins
And you're not mine
Guess it's time to cry
Yes it's time to cry
