"I Can't Stop Loving You"

"I Can't Stop Loving You"


You can do, whatever you want to do
You can do, anything at all
'Cause what you do
Makes me so close to you
And when I'm close to you baby

I can't stop loving you
There's nothing in the world that I would change for you
Only you, only you can thrill me like you do

I can't stop loving you
I can't stop wanting you
You're something special in my eyes

The way that you love me
The way that you hold me
The way that you make me feel part of you baby

"I Do Declare"

"I Do Declare"


I started walkin’ Sunday and by Monday
I was headin’ out along that freeway line
'Round about a quarter to nine
I saw a Caddy headin’ north

And I was getting’ tired of walkin’
So I pulled him over to the side
"Say man can you tell me where I can find
Just a little peace of mind
I’m getting’ tired of city livin’
And the orders I’ve been given
And the way I see it is, I could be runnin’ out of time"

He said, "Man, I’ve got just the place
Where you and freedom come face to face
I know just how you feel, this place is unreal
You won’t believe it when you see it
Man, it’s far out of space"

I do declare, I want to take you there
I declare, I want to take you where
Where the people live without it
Don’t concern themselves about it
'Cos they know, they’ve got a reason
And they ain’t about to leave it

I declare, I want to take you there
I do declare, I want to take you where
Where the honeysuckle’s climbin’
And there ain’t no sense of timin’
And you’ll never need remindin’
Why you left and why you came out here

Clare, it was just an hour's drive away
Now listen close to everything I say
We passed through the city limits
And Clare, what lay within it
Was enough to blow your mind away

So come on, Clare, get the hell out of there
They’ll shut you up and make you tear out your hair
So don’t you tell me, maybe ’cos you’re tryin’ to be a lady
They've got everything we ever dreamed
We’d ever want to share

I do declare, I want to take you there
Clare, I want to take you where
Where the people live without it
Don’t concern themselves about it
‘Cos they know, they’ve got a reason
And they ain’t about to leave it

Clare, I want to take you there
I do declare, I want to take you where
Where the honeysuckle’s climbin’
And there ain’t no sense in timin’
And you’ll never need remindin’
Why you left and why you came out here

I do declare, I want to take you there
I declare, I want to take you there
Clare, I wanna love ya, Clare, I wanna make ya
Clare, I want to take you there

I do declare, I want to take you there
I declare, I want to take you there
Clare, I wanna love ya, Clare, I wanna make ya
Clare, I want to take you there

I do declare, I want to take you there
I declare, I want to take you there
Clare, I wanna

"I Swear"
(originally by John Michael Montgomery)



I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
But you can be sure I know my part

'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I'll make mistakes, I'll never break your heart

I swear, by the moon and stars in the sky, I'll be there
I swear, like the shadow that's by your side, I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart, I swear

I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the wall

And when there's silver in your hair
You won't have to ask if I still care
'Cause as time turns the page, my love won't age at all

I swear, by the moon and stars in the sky, I'll be there
I swear, like the shadow that's by your side, I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart, I swear

I swear, by the moon and stars in the sky, I'll be there
I swear, like the shadow that's by your side, I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart, I swear, I swear

"I Won't Back Down"
(originally by Tom Petty)

"I Won't Back Down"
(originally by Tom Petty)



Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down
No, I won't back down

"I'd Die For You"

"I'd Die For You"


You look so sad in your eyes
We now have to pay our price
Cause you are running around
with another guy
You must decide where you stand
And you know I must ask you again and again
Tell me that your love is still the same
I'd die for you my baby
I' die for you my baby
I cry for you when you are not by my side
I had a dream last night
You were not here by my side
and we were fighting against each other
I feel the pain in my heart
Don't you know you are
playing the part again and again
Tell me that your love is still the same
I'd die for you my baby...

"I'll Meet You At Midnight"

"I'll Meet You At Midnight"


A summer evening on Les Champs Elyses
A secret rendezvous they planned for days
I see faces in the crowded cafe
A sound of Laughter as the music plays.

Jeanne-Claude's student at the University
Louise-Marie is just a world away
You recall the night they met was warm with laughter
The words and music as she turned away.

[Refrain:]
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
Oh, but Jeanne-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be

Each cigarette will light a thousand faces
The shade is passing like a thousand years
Midnight was turning into empty spaces
The sound of laughter'd disappeared

[Refrain]

A summer morning on Les Champs Elyses
The entertainment in the street cafe
The sunlight melting through an open doorway
Jeanne-Claude has left some other day...

"I'm In Love With You"

"I'm In Love With You"


Sometimes I'm up, Sometimes I'm down
I feel I'm always hanging round
Cause I'm in love with you
Yeah I'm in love with you
You make it clear I have to leave
Cause you're the one that I deceived
But I'm in love with you
Yeah I'm in love with you
You believe in your own little way that
I wanted to come back and see
All the feelings you're trying to hide
In your eyes I can see that your heart is still beating for me
You believe in your own little way that
I wanted to come back and see
All the feelings you're trying to hide
In your eyes I can see that your heart is still beating for me
If I were gone what would you do
Would you find somebody new
When I'm in love with you
And well you know its true
I'll get along all my myself
Cause I don't want nobody else
When I'm in love with you
When I'm in love with you
Cause I'm in love with you
Cause I'm in love with you
Cause I'm in love with you
Cause I'm in love with you

"If I Can't Love You"

"If I Can't Love You"


[Verse 1:]
Let me take this moment, just to tell you that;
You can always count on me.
It's automatic, I think about you everyday;
And this is how I feel:

[Chorus:]
Every time I hold ya, I believe in what I told ya;
You're my everything, my shining star;
That's just what you are.
Like a flower needs the sunlight;
Like a ship that sails the ocean;
I will never live to see another day;
If I can't love you.

If I can't love you.

[Verse 2:]
When I see you smiling, it just takes away;
All the troubles in my life.
But does it matter, if you're far away from me?
'Cause you're always on my mind.

[Chorus:]
Every time I hold ya, I believe in what I told ya;
You're my everything, my shining star;
That's just what you are.
Like a flower needs the sunlight;
Like a ship that sails the ocean;
I will never live to see another day;
If I can't love you.

[Bridge:]
I run to you like a river song;
Now I know just where I belong;
It's by your side.
You lift me up when I'm feeling down;
And take me up to a higher ground;
And you make me fly.

[Chorus:]
Every time I hold ya, I believe in what I told ya;
You're my everything, my shining star;
That's just what you are.
Like a flower needs the sunlight;
Like a ship that sails the ocean;
I will never live to see another day;
If I can't love you.

If I can't love you

"If You Think You Know How To Love Me"

"If You Think You Know How To Love Me"


A breathless drive on a down town street
A motor bike ride in the mid-day heat
The dust that hung from the desert skies
Run though we'd run, it still burned our eyes
Oh yes we may walk on the wild, wild side of life,
And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side
And in the shadows of a promise take my hand
And show me a way to understand
So if you think you know how to love me
And you think you know what I need
And if you really really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way
Yes it you think you know how to love me
And you think you can stand by me
And if you really really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way
(So just lead me, lead me away)
A reckless night in a nameless town
Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound
A beach that wept with deserted waves
That's where we slept, knowing we'd be safe
Now you may think you can walk on the wild wild side with me
But there's a lot I can learn, and a lot that I've yet to see
You know you've got my life lying in your hand
It's up to you to make me understand
So if you think you know how to love me

"In The Heat Of The Night"

"In The Heat Of The Night"


In the heat of the night when you know it ain't right
But you do what you want to do
You do what you feel but no one can feel like you

In the summertime city ain't it a pity
There's so much to tie you down
You're leaving tonight for somewhere you can't be found

While down at the end of town
At a pool hall where they all hang around
You can hear them talking 'bout girls they know
Talking 'bout what they're gonna do
Then you ask yourself is this where you belong
