"The Secretary's Song"

"The Secretary's Song"

When those Monday blues won't let go of you
Is there someplace that you'd rather be
I'd give anything to make your phone stop ringing
Pull you into my arms and take you with me

[CHORUS:]
You weren't made to be just a secretary
You were made for love
You've got that something, extraordinary
I've been dreaming of
I thank my lucky stars above
You were made for love

I know you're busy girl and it's a high tech world
But it's made of more than glass and steel
Deep inside your heart there's a softer part
With all those things you've been waiting to feel

[CHORUS]

All those CPA's with their space
In the parking lot, want their coffee hot
All those three piece suits with their wing tip shoes
Walking over you
Don't know what they got

[CHORUS X2]

"The Sun Don't Shine On The Same Folks All The Time"

"The Sun Don't Shine On The Same Folks All The Time"

I hope this day is good, hoping I might find the way
To take the rain and wash the blue away
You never know when the time might turn around
And now I sit here thinking this might be the day

When the sun don't always shine on the same face all the time
I'll wait my turn, as I live and learn
I won't fall too far behind when the sun don't always shine

I've got two good hands the name my daddy gave to me
Got a willing heart a little faith is all you need
And there I go thinking I can face tomorrow
I won't hang my head cause love goes on and on

When the sun don't always shine on the same face all the time
I'll wait my turn, as I live and learn
I won't fall too far behind when the sun don't always shine

Always shine always shine
When the sun don't always shine, on the same face all the time
I'll wait my turn as I live and learn
I won't fall too far behind when the sun don't always shine
Always shine always shine

"The Walk"

"The Walk"

Down our long dusty driveway
I didn't want to go
But I set out with tears in my eyes wondering
Daddy took me by the hand
Looked out at the school bus and his little man and said
"Don't worry boy it will be all right"

[CHORUS:]
Cause I took this walk you're walking now
Boy, I've been in your shoes
You can't hold back the hands of time
It's just something you've got to do
So dry your eyes I understand just what you're going through
Cause I took this same walk with my old man
Boy, I've been in your shoes

Down our long dusty driveway
I set my mind to go
I was eighteen and wild and free and wondering
Daddy took me by the hand
Looked at the world and at his grown man and said,
"Don't worry boy it will be all right"

Down our long dusty driveway
This time we both would go
He had grown old and gray
And his mind was wandering
Daddy took me by the hand
Said, "I know where we're going and I understand
Don't worry boy it will be all right"

[CHORUS]

"The Wiseman's Song"

"The Wiseman's Song"

They call me a wiseman but I believe
Wisdom is knowing what to seek
With a star as my guide I'm on my way
To see if heaven sent down a baby today
If I follow, I'll learn the way to go

The star rests above where the baby lays
Where shepherds gather round to watch and pray
Kneeling before him my heart finds
A peace that is surely from God's own child
If I follow, I'll learn the way to go

The road I now travel is not the same
As the path that brought me to this place
My heart is full --- my eyes open wide
Knowing only his love can make us wise
If we follow, we'll learn the way to go

They call me a wiseman but I believe
Wisdom is knowing what to seek

"There Was A Time"

"There Was A Time"

I hear you calling my name
The sweet sounds of yesterday
When there was love and I was in it
Oh but seeing you this way
I hear the words I didn’t say
I see it way too late

There was a time I used to hold you
I should have told you
There was a time
I see your face, and it reminds me
There was a place
There was - there was a time

We’re here and all I can think of is the way we used to be
How could I take for granted
The chance you took on me
You with your heart out on your sleeve
The heart that I still need

There was a time I used to hold you
I should have told you
There was a time
I see your face, and it reminds me
There was a place
There was - there was a time

They say time changes everything
Time never stays the same
So tell me why do I still feel this way

There was a time I used to hold you
I should have told you
There was a time
I see your face, and it reminds me
There was a place
There was - there was a time

"They Don't Understand"

"They Don't Understand"

A mother riding on a city bus
Kids are yelling kicking up a fuss
Everybody's staring not knowing what she's going through
Somebody said, Don't you even care?

Do you let 'em do that everywhere?
She slowly turned around, looked up and stared
She said, Please forgive them
But they've been up all night

Their father struggled but he finally lost his fight
He went to heaven
In the middle of the night
So please forgive my children

(They don't understand)
Everybody's busy with their own situation
Everybody's lost in their own little world
Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true

(They don't understand)
Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow
Maybe we should stop and take a little time
'Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through
(They don't understand)

A man driving on the interstate
Slowing down traffic making everybody late
Everybody's staring not knowing what he's going through
Somebody hollered from the passing lane

Yelled out the window, hey ain't got all day
The old man looked around and caught his eye
He said, Please forgive me
You know, it's been a long life

My wife has passed away and my kids don't have the time
I've been left all alone
And it's getting hard to drive
So please forgive me children

(They don't understand)
Everybody's busy with their own situation
Everybody's lost in their own little world
Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true

(They don't understand)
Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow
Maybe we should stop and take a little time
'Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through
(They don't understand)

A man hanging on a wooden cross
Giving everything to save the lost
Everybody's staring not knowing what He's going through
Somebody said, You don't have a prayer

If You were keen, you'd come down from there
The man just turned His head looked up and stared

He said, Please forgive them
For they have not seen the light
They'll come to know me when I come back to life
Go to heaven to make everything all right
So please forgive Your children

(They don't understand)
Everybody's busy with their own situation
Everybody's lost in their own little world
Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true

(They don't understand)
Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow
Maybe we should stop and take a little time
'Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through

(They don't understand)
A mother riding on a city bus
Kids are yelling kicking up a fuss
Everybody's staring not knowing what she's going through

"This Missin' You Heart Of Mine"

"This Missin' You Heart Of Mine"

It's a January night, there's a cold wind blowin'
But it's colder knowin' you'll be gone a long time
The weather man's right, there's a mean storm hissin'
It don't help this missin' you heart of mine

[Chorus:]
Stoke the fire, read a book
Give the storm another look
Just to keep my hands and mind occupied
Oh tonight, I just wish, that I knew what to do with
This missin' you heart of mine

I keep tryin' to call, I get the operator
She says try back later, there's trouble on the line
I'll sing it to the night and if you'll just listen
You can hear this missin' you heart of mine

[Chorus x2]

With this missin' you heart of mine

"This Night Won't Last Forever"
(originally by Bill LaBounty)

"This Night Won't Last Forever"
(originally by Bill LaBounty)

Everybody likes a celebration..
Happy music and conversation..
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have the blues...
In the corner there's a couple dancin'
From the kitchen I can hear 'em laughing oh I
Wish I was celebrating too...

And I know..(I Know) this night (this night) won't last forever
and I know (I know) the sun (the sun) is gonna shine sometime
I need (I need) some hope (some hope) for a bright tomorrow
And I know (I know) this heart (this heart) is gonna mend just fine...

So pardon me for my disposition...
I wish I didn't have to sit and listen.....they're playing the same old songs on the stereo
But she's been lying since the day I met her
I'd better off to just forget her but I....
Would rather be lonesome all alone

Suddenly there's a strange vibration from my head to my toes
Filling me with a strange sensation...somebody's telling me...somebody's
saying I know..

"Thunder Bay"

"Thunder Bay"

I never thought that anyone could do me like you do me
I never thought that love would get in the way
But there was magic in the air and there were stars out on the water
On a moonlit night in thunder bay

[Chorus:]
Was it the lightning on the water
Was it the thunder from the bay
When the night goes down they are hard to tell apart
Just like howling at the moon and barking at the dark
Just like howling at the moon and barking at the dark

The eyes of disillusion keep burning holes right through me
Down in watertown you'll see it all
A willing hand, a second glance at evil in a red dress
I threw in my hand and bet it all

[Chorus]

I could've walked away
I should've been afraid
I never would've strayed
But I did - yes I did - in thunder bay

[Chorus]

"Time And Love"

"Time And Love"

As she drags on a cigarette
You can tell it's been her first pack
A leopard coat and piled high hair
Thick makeup, skin tight slacks
Tonight she's steppin' out
She thinks, if only he could see her now

She will leave a trail of turnin' heads
Smokin' bridges and ice cold beds
Avoiding the blame at any cost
She is spinning wheels and throwing stones
Burying hearts and digging up them bones
Making up for time and love that was lost
She's makin' up for time and love that was lost

She's headed down a one-way road
Where hearts don't touch and ends don't meet
Fired by a danger glow
It's in her eyes and on the street
And tomorrow they will talk about
How tonight she went to town

She will leave a trail of turnin' heads
Smokin' bridges and ice cold beds
Avoiding the blame at any cost
She is spinning wheels and throwing stones
Burying hearts and digging up them bones
Making up for time and love that was lost
She's makin' up for time and love that was lost

And tomorrow he will think about
How tonight she went to town

She will leave a trail of turnin' heads
Smokin' bridges and ice cold beds
Avoiding the blame at any cost
She is spinning wheels and throwing stones
Burying hearts and digging up them bones
Making up for time and love that was lost
She's makin' up for time and love that was lost
