"Heaven's A Small Town"

"Heaven's A Small Town"


They say heaven waits for the righteous
A road to redemption – that’s what life is
Somewhere down the blue highway I found paradise.
Heaven’s a small town; heaven’s a small town.
Streets ain’t lined with gold, just the white lines.
No pearly gates, just a stop sign.
I found my angel here in a pair of tight blue jeans.
Heaven’s a small town; heaven’s a small town.
It’s a Sunday morning every day
I pray my soul is here to stay
It’s a small town
Heaven’s a small town; heaven’s a small town.
Where every good old boy is a good son
And every good old girl, she’s a fine one.
Everybody knows your name, everybody waves.
Heaven’s a small town; heaven’s a small town.
It’s a Sunday morning every day
I pray my soul is here to stay
It’s a small town.
Heaven’s a small town.
Even poor old sinners like me
Find a second chance.
Heaven’s a small town,
Heaven’s a small town
Heaven’s a small town,
Heaven’s a small town.
Heaven’s a small town,
Heaven’s a small town
Heaven’s a small town.

"Hidin' Place"

"Hidin' Place"


We all need a little comfort
To get us through the night
And we all need somebody
To tell us it's all right
Sometimes in the hustle
You get to feeling alone
Oh it's nice to know that
You can go back home
Everybody needs a hidin' place
To get away from the old rat race
Everybody needs a hidin' place
To unwind and be free
Everybody needs a hidin' place
A little hole card just in case
And I'm into my, hidin' place
When my baby's with me
When my baby's with me
When my baby's with me
It don't have to be on a map
Just a state of mind
So don't fall into that same old trap
Just look around and find
That love is everywhere
And it's looking for you
And it's the very best thing
That you could ever do

"Hold Me Closely"

"Hold Me Closely"


Hold me closely, hold me softly
Don’t let me fall on my own,
Love me gently, don’t love me at all
I’ll get back on my feet right after I fall.
There is a path in this place called my life
Don’t know if I can travel alone
Need someone to take me by my hand
Lead me safely to the promised land.
So hold me closely, hold me softly
Don’t let me fall on my own,
Love me gently, don’t love me at all
I’ll get back on my feet right after I fall.
Now in life’s shadows we appear afraid
But there will be light shine down on us someday
Gracefully we’re sighing, we’ve nothing to hide
We’ll meet again in the by and by.

"Hold You In My Arms"

"Hold You In My Arms"


When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see you'd been crying
Seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe it reigns
But who really profits from the dying
I could hold you in my arms, I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my arms, I could hold you forever
When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions
My worried mind that you quiet
Place your hands on my face, close my eyes and say
That love is a poor man's food, don't prophesize
I could hold you in my arms, I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my arms, I could hold you forever
So now we see how it is, this fist begets the spear
Weapons of war, symptoms of madness
Don't let your eyes refuse to see, don't let your ears refuse to hear
Or you ain't never going to shake this sense of sadness
I could hold you in my arms, I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my arms, ooh, I could hold on forever

"Holdin' On To You"

"Holdin' On To You"


I've been the fool and I've been the clown
But you could always see right through
That good old boy
Good for a laugh or two.
Yeah
I tried my best to make the change
Some dreamers never do
But it don't matter at all
If I'm still holding on to you.
Holding.
Holding on to you, holding on to you
I'll let the rest slip by me
If I'm still holding on to you.
Yeah, Baby.
We've had some plans and some crazy schemes
But nothing ever turned out right
Except for one that we made
Long ago on a summer night.
I still remember.
Who would have thought that we'd still be together
After all that we've been through.
You still believe in me
And I'm still holding on to you.
Holding, holding.
Sometimes it ain't easy
Because I love you, I'm holding on to you
They said we couldn't make it
We're still together 'cause I'm holding on to you, yeah

"How Great Thou Art"

"How Great Thou Art"


Oh Lord, my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the work thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
When Christ shall come with shout of adulation
To take me home what joy shall fill my heart
Then I bow down in humble adoration
And there proclaim My God how great Thou art.
Then sings my soul my Saviour, God to Thee
How great thou art, how great thou art
Then sings my soul my Saviour, God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.

"How Long Has It Been"

"How Long Has It Been"


Hey my old lover and friend
How long has it been
Since we laid together
You know how I'd love
To see you again
How long has it been
Another sunset and though you're far away
It's hard to forget the good days we spent
I can't help myself when from time to time
The memories swell, there's no one to tell
Now I know the chances are we gave it up too soon
When morning turned to afternoon
And soon the sun had set the good times slipped away
So I thought I'd call just to say
Days are short, nights are long
My dreams are all the same
Take me back to the days when we were young
Take me back
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
How long has it been

"I Can Count On You"

"I Can Count On You"


You can say the word and warm the day
You can make the world spin the other way.
Some things we don’t have to see to believe
Faith is the part of love that runs so deep.

I can count on you, I can trust you to be
Everything you are and that’s everything I’ll ever need.
I can close my eyes and let your heart lead the way.
I can count on you, I can count on you.

I know those loving eyes have seen me make mistakes
But in your heart you always look the other way.
So much tenderness, it’s hard to understand
But I know my feelings are safe in your hands.

I can count on you, I can trust you to be
Every thing you are and that’s everything I’ll ever need.
I can close my eyes and let your heart lead the way.
I can count on you, I can count on you.
I can count on you, I can count on you.
I can count on you.

"I Can Love You"

"I Can Love You"


I know you like to be caressed
And to know that you've been missed
And to have love whispered softly in your ears
And to feel the tenderness
That you can feel when you've been kissed
So gently that your eyes fill with tears
I can love you
I can hold you in my arms until I've loved you
I know what feels good to you and how you like to feel
I never could but still if you let me now
I can show you how I can love you
Sometimes you like to stand alone
Make a woman's feelings known
But often your as helpless as a child
And I have seen your hungry eyes
Betray your loneliness inside
And beg someone to love you for a while

"I Can't Imagine Laying Down (With Anyone But You)"

"I Can't Imagine Laying Down (With Anyone But You)"


It's all that I can do to make it through another day
And then it seemed to creep along, the time gets in my way
But when my work is done and the day is almost through
I can't imagine laying down with anyone but you.
I don't believe that I can move a mountain anymore
Except for when you dim the lights and lock the bedroom door
Then I'll do anything you say you want me to
But I can't imagine laying down with anyone but you.
And every time you touch me I can feel the very first time
And when you hold my body you surely hold my mind.
The nighttime is for dreaming and pretending dreams are real
But there's no dream that could ever touch the way you make me feel.
Darling when I'm in your arms all my dreams come true
And I can't imagine laying down with anyone but you.
No I can't imagine laying down with anyone but you.
