"Closer To Me"

"Closer To Me"


I've never been the same since I met you
You gave me hope when no one gave me a prayer
You stood here faithful, right beside me
And now I know you did this so you could be

Closer to me
Than my hands and my feet
Nearer to me
Than the air that I breathe
There are always things that will always compete for my heart
But you know you are, and always will be
Closer to me

I've got nowhere to go if I go without you
Everyone can see us if the can see me
I've got my eyes on the only one one that's true
Now when I run I, I run to you

'Cause you're closer to me
Than my hands and my feet
You're nearer to me
Than the air that I breathe
There are always things that will always compete for my heart
But you know you are, and always will be
Closer to me

Come closer to me
Come closer
Closer to me

You're closer to me
Than my hands and my feet
You're nearer to me
Than the air that I breathe
There are always things that will always compete for my heart
But you know you are, and always will be
Closer to me

"Come Along"

"Come Along"



Come along

I can't sit still, gotta go
Got a neighbor with a need of a helping hand
What would it hurt to take a little time
And do for him what I can
I've been prayin', I've been sayin'
Only time will tell
If we dig a little deeper in that well

Won't you come along (come along now)
Come along (come along now)
Take me by the hand and help me sing this song (sing this song)
I've got something to shout about
Live out loud about
Can't you feel the spirit
Won't you come along (come along)

The weepful river would know what
A little bit of faith and love can do
Lead me, take me, show me, break me
Lord you're gonna get us through
When we're walking through the valley we will have no fear
Lift up our voices for the world to hear

Won't you come along (come along now)
Come along (come along now)
Take me by the hand and help me sing this song (sing this song)
I've got something to shout about
Live out loud about
Can't you feel the spirit
Won't you come along (come along)

Won't you take me down (to the river)
Take me down (come with me y'all down to the river, down to the river)
Take me down (wash me clean Lord, down in the river, down in the river)
Take me down (won't you take me down)

Won't you come along (come along now)
Come along (come along now)
Take me by the hand and help me sing this song (sing this song)
I've got something to shout about
Live out loud about
Can't you feel the spirit
Won't you come along (come along)

I said come along (come along now)
Come along (come along now)
Take me by the hand and help me sing this song (sing this song)
I've got something to shout about
Live out loud about
Can't you feel the spirit
Won't you come along (come along)

Come along (come along)
I said come along (come along)
Come along Won't you come along (come along)
Won't you come along (come along)
Won't you come along (come along)
Won't you come along (come along now come along)

"Come Back Baby"

"Come Back Baby"



I'm sitting here and got myself situated between a rock and a real hard place
My name is mud and here it gets complicated
I got egg dripping all over my face
You tell me your leaving
You oughta be doing something else tonight
But before you go girl there's just one thing

Come back baby
Don't stop coming back baby
Run back baby
Don't stop running back girl
You can call me any ole time
I'll be here with my arms open wide
Come back baby
Don't stop coming back girl

I've been a fool and don't you know I've been taken you for granted
Way way too long I'll be here yeah ready and a waiting
Girl I'll miss you when you're gone
You say that you're leaving
Cause all I do is make you cry
When you've gone too far girl and you want to come home

Come back baby
Don't stop coming back baby
Run back baby
Don't stop running back girl
You can call me any ole time
I'll be here with my arms open wide
Come back baby
Don't stop coming back girl

The moon is out and I feel a rush
The stars are shinning bright
Don't want to see you walking away to a lonely night

Come back baby
Don't stop coming back baby
Run back baby
Don't stop running back girl
You can call me any ole time
I'll be here with my arms open wide
Come back baby
Don't stop coming back girl
Got to come back
Got to come back
Got to come back
Got to come back

"Cool Night"

"Cool Night"



I sometimes wonder why
All the flowers had to die
I dream about you
And now, the summer's come and gone
And the nights they seem so long

Come on over tonight
Come on over

It's gonna be a cool night
Just let me hold you
By the firelight
If it don't feel right
You can go

Oh-oh, when the cool night
Brings back memories
Of a good life
When this love was not so old

Oh-oh, I won't talk about the past
And how love's supposed to last forever
And you don't have to take a stand
And lay out any plans

Come on over tonight
Come on over

It's gonna be a cool night
Just let me hold you
By the firelight
If it don't feel right
You can go

Oh-oh, when the cool night
Brings back memories
Of a good life
When this love was not so old

Come on over tonight
Come on over

It's gonna be a cool night
Just let me hold you
By the firelight
If it don't feel right
You can go

On a cool night
Let me hold you
On a cool night
Just let me hold you
By the firelight
If it don't feel right
You can go

On a cool night
Let me hold you
On a cool night
Just let me hold you
By the firelight
If it don't feel right
You can go

"Deliver Me"

"Deliver Me"



I'm up on the high-wire
In the middle this time
I hope somewhere
Both ends of this rope are tied
Don't know if I'm ending or beginning
Or just spinning on a wheel
I've been flying, I've been falling
Through the air and in between
When I feel you reaching out for me
It feels like solid ground under my feet

You deliver me
Like a river, we
Wind on to the place that we were meant to be
I am not alone
With you I'm home
Day by day I see
You deliver me

I wondered if I'd find you
I wondered where you'd be
And if your heart was open
Was there room in there for me
But when I add up all the questions
They don't matter now
'Cause in your eyes I see the answers
And I know without a doubt
I can finally say just where I am
When I've got you holding onto my hand

You deliver me
Like a river, we
Wind on to the place that we were meant to be
I am not alone
With you I'm home
Day by day I see
You deliver me

And you deliver me, deliver me
Even when I can't see where this road will lead
Oh you deliver me

You deliver me
Like a river, we
Wind on to the place that we were meant to be
I am not alone
With you I'm home
Day by day I see

You deliver me
Like a river, we
Wind on to the place that we were meant to be
I am not alone
With you I'm home
Day by day I see
You deliver me

"Do You Hear What I Hear"

"Do You Hear What I Hear"



Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
'Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?

A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing thru the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?

A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know?

A Child, a Child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold

Said the king to the people ev'rywhere
Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people ev'rywhere
Listen to what I say!

The Child, the Child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

"Drive Away"
(duet with Dana McVicker)

"Drive Away"
(duet with Dana McVicker)



Pack your bags it's time to go
The clock down town runs way to slow
Daddy say's I'll have to wait
But all we got to do is drive away

[Chorus:]
Drive away you and me
We'll blow this town and we'll find our dream
Where we'll stop it's hard to say
We'll leave a trail smokin' when we drive away
We'll leave a trail smokin' when we drive away

With me the lead and you the star
We're way out front in a faster car
Like two dots fading on a silver screen
The credits rolling as we leave

[Chorus]

Call ahead and tell'em that we're comin'
We'll keep the motor runnin' from now on

[Chorus]

"Drive Me Wild"

"Drive Me Wild"



You pull over and I jump in
Into your little red Mercedes Benz
Well, I know there's no turning back
Well, I don't even care where we are
I just want to be inside your car

You can drive me wild, baby
You can drive me crazy
You just drive me, I don't care with you

I'll go anywhere
Clean out of sight
Once around the moon
Holdin' on tight
Take me by the hand
Pull me by the heart
With you, with you
I'll go anywhere

Well in the fast lane on a Sunday drive
Anywhere we go, I'll be fine
Just as long as I'm with you
It don't matter when we get back
This ain't the time to talk about that

You can drive me wild, baby
You can drive me crazy
You just drive me, I don't care with you

I'll go anywhere
Clean out of sight
Once around the moon
Holdin' on tight
Take me by the hand
Pull me by the heart
With you, with you
I'll go anywhere

If you take me I will go with you anywhere
Well, I don't know if you know we're goin' somewhere
Goin' somewhere, goin' somewhere

You can drive me wild, baby
You can drive me crazy
You just drive me, I don't care with you

I'll go anywhere
Clean out of sight
Once around the moon
Holdin' on tight
Take me by the hand
Pull me by the heart
With you, with you
I'll go anywhere

"Every Little Thing"

"Every Little Thing"


There were clouds rollin' in
Rain on the wind
There at the end of September
Your sweater was white
It was buttoned up tight
Darlin' you see I remember

[Chorus:]
Every little thing, every little thing
So real so strong, such a long time gone
Here I am still holding on
To every little thing, every little thing

I remember again how you squeezed my hand
Now and then as we walked down the hall
We stood under the light
When you kissed me goodnight
Now I can't help but recall

[Chorus]

Where you've gone I don't know
But some how I've got to let go
Here I am still holding on
To every little thing
Every little thing
