"Home (When Shadows Fall)"

"Home (When Shadows Fall)"



O, when shadows fall
and trees whisper day is ending
My thoughts are even when they home
O when crickets call
my heart is forever yearning
Someday to be returning home

When the hills conceal the setting sun
Stars begin a-peepin, one by one
Night covers all and no fortune may for sale
My dreams will ever take for home
Night covers all and no fortune may for sale
My dreams will ever take for home

"I Cover The Waterfront"

"I Cover The Waterfront"



I cover the waterfront
I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me

I cover the waterfront
I search of my love
And I’m guided by the starlit sky above

Here am I, patiently waiting
Hoping and longing O, how I yearn
Where are you, are you forgetting
Do you remember, will you return

I cover the waterfront
I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me

I cover the waterfront
I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me

I cover the waterfront
I search of my love
And I’m guided by the starlit sky above

Here am I, patiently waiting
Hoping and longing O, how I yearn
Where are you, are you forgetting
Do you remember, will you return

I cover the waterfront
I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me

Here am I, patiently waiting
Hoping and longing O, how I yearn
Where are you, are you forgetting
Do you remember, will you return

I cover the waterfront

"I Lost Everything"

"I Lost Everything"



I lost everything
When I lost you
Now my heart is breaking in two

I found memories
What am I to do
Those memories keep on making me blue

The moon and the stars
They don't seem the same
Love has lost its glory
To me it's just a game

No, I lost everything
My dreams are all through
My life is only make-believe without you
Oh, my life is only make-believe without you

"I Thank God"

"I Thank God"



this wonderful world we live in
is God's masterpiece of art
and I live each golden moment
with his love in my heart

I thank God
for blessing me
with eyes to see
each wondrous day
and I thank God
for hands to help
my fellow man along the way

he gave me lips to speak the simple truth
and ears to hear to magic dreams of youth
I thank God for giving me
his blessed book with words divine
for now I know dear God I know
the miracle of life is mine

yes Dear God I know
the miracle of life is mine

"I Wish You Love"

"I Wish You Love"



I wish you bluebirds in the spring
to give your heart a son to sing.
And then a kiss oh but more than this,
I wish you love.

And in July a lemonade to cool you in some leafy glade.
I wish you health oh and more than wealth. I wish you love.
My breaking heart and I agree that you and I will never be.
So with my best my very best I am ‘ setn’ you free
Oh honey.

I wish you shelter from the storm.
A cozy fire to keep you worm.
Oh but most of all I wish you love.
But most of all when snowflakes fall I wish you love.
But most of all when snowflakes fall I wish you love.

"I'll Come Running Back To You"

"I'll Come Running Back To You"



Folks say that you've found someone new
To do the things I used to do for you
Just call my name, I'm not ashamed
I'll come running back to you

Can't sleep at night, I can't eat a bite
When you were mine I didn't treat you right
Just call my name, I'm not ashamed
I'l come running back to you

Just like a king, I've lost everything
I sit all alone on my throne
I've got my pride, but deep down inside
I'm yours and yours alone

I try to forget, have no regrets
This love of ours could always start anew
Just call my name, I know I'm not ashamed
I'll come running back to you

Just like a king I've lost everything
I sit all alone on my throne
I've got my pride, but deep down inside
I'm yours and yours alone

I try to forget, have no regrets
This love of ours could always start anew
Just call my name
I know, I know, I know I'm not ashamed
I'll come running back to you.

"I'm In The Mood For Love"

"I'm In The Mood For Love"



I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love

Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder that
I'm in the mood for love

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We put our hearts together
Now we are one don't be afraid

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it and get with it
I'm in the mood for love

"I'm Just A Country Boy"

"I'm Just A Country Boy"



(I've got silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun)

I ain't gonna marry in the fall
I ain't gonna marry in the spring
Oh, for I am love with a pretty little girl
Who wears a diamond ring

And I am just a country boy, money have I none
Oh, but I've got silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun
I have gold in the morning sun

I never gonna kiss the ruby lips
Of the prettiest girl in town
Oh, I'm never gonna ask her if she'd marry me
'Cause I know she'd turn me down

'Cause I am just a country boy
Money, money have I none
Oh, but I've got that silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun
I have gold in the morning sun

"I'm Just A Lucky So And So"

"I'm Just A Lucky So And So"



as I walk down the street
everyone that I meet
gives me a friendly hello
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so

the birds in every tree
they are so neighborly
they sing wherever I go
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so

but if you ask the amount
in my bank account
I'll have to admit I'm kinda slipping
but that don't bother me
'cause confidentially
I have a dream that is pippin

and when the day is through
each night I hurry to
home where my love waits, I know
I guess I'm, I gotta be a lucky so and so

but if you ask the amount
in my in my bank account
I'll have to admit that I'm slipping
but I know that don't bother me
'cause confidentially
I've got a dream that is pippin

and when the day is through
each night I hurry to
home where my love waits, I know
I guess I'm, I gotta be a lucky so and so

I guess, I know I'm a lucky lucky
lucky so and so

"I'm Walking Behind You"

"I'm Walking Behind You"



I'm walking behind you
and I'll hear your promise
to love and obey
tough you may forget me
you're still on my mind

Look over your shoulder
I'm walking behind
Maybe I'll kiss again
with a love that's new
But I shall wish again
I was kissing you
'Cause I'll always love you
wherever you go
And tough we are parted
I wan't you to know
That if things go wrong dear
and faith is unkind
Look over your shoulder
I'm walking behind
