"I'm Settin' Fancy Free"

"I'm Settin' Fancy Free"


I'm setting Fancy free, because she wants to go
She's tired of loving me, she told me so.
I guess she don't know just how much she means to me
But along with all my dreams I'm setting Fancy free.

Yes I'm setting Fancy free, even though I love her still
She'd be no good to me if I held her against her will.
Even thou that girl, she's the best part of my world
Along with all my dreams I'm setting Fancy free.

Oh Lord you just don't know how it hurts to say goodbye
She did her best to stay, I can't say she did not try.
I just hope the road she takes leads back to me
So along with all my dreams I'm setting Fancy free.

Yes I'm setting Fancy free, even though I love her still
She'd be no good to me if I held her against her will.
Even thou that girl, she's the best part of my world
Along with all my dreams I'm setting Fancy free.

Yes I'm setting Fancy free, even though I love her still
She'd be no good to me if I held her against her will.
Even thou that girl, she's the best part of my world
Along with all my dreams I'm setting Fancy free.

Yes I'm setting Fancy free, even though I love her still
She'd be no good to me if I held her against her will.
Even thou that girl, she's the best part of my world

"I'm So Glad I'm Standin' Here Today"

"I'm So Glad I'm Standin' Here Today"


There were times I remember had to fight just to hold my head up
Those times that even my friends tried to make a fool of me
There were things that my heart looked at that they just couldn't see
Some said I was hopeless
Mind tangled in the night
Strong hearts just keep goin'
That is why I'm standing here today
Come together raise up your voices
This time I saw the love and light won't go away
I'll sing forever here in the sunshine
I've lived to see the sun break the storm
I'm so glad I'm standing here today
If you're lost in your troubles and the world just seems to forget you
If you'll remember sunshine even in the darkest day
And you follow what your heart says I know you'll find the way

"I'm Working On A Building"

"I'm Working On A Building"


Well I'm working on a building
It's a true foundation
I'm holding up the blood-stained
Banner for my Lord
Well I never get tired, tired, tired working on the building
I'm going up to Heaven, oh Lord, to get my reward
Well if I was a sinner, let me tell you what I would do
Well I'd quit all my sinning
And work on the building too
Well if I was a preacher, let me tell you what I would do
Well I would keep on preachin'
And work on the building too

"If I Was To Start Crying"

"If I Was To Start Crying"


I sent you candy and a dozen roses
I put my heart into a card three pages long
And now here I sit waiting getting over that Moses
For the answer I’ve been fearing all along.
Now I knew there were wicked women in the city
Who scattered shattered dreams like fools gold on the ground
I just didn’t know that they would be so heartbreak pretty
Or that one single icy laugh could cut me down.
Because I’ve always tried to keep my pride
There’s one last desperation measure I haven’t tried.
If I was to start crying, show my innermost feelings
If I was to break down on my bended knees and just plead my case.
Would it thaw your frozen heart a little?
Would you show some compassion?
Would you only feel pity and then compelled to turn me away.
Would you only feel pity and turn me away.
My walls catch all my anger
Your satin perfumed pillows catch my tears
Oh how I wish tonight that I could be that stranger
Whose hearing all your same old lies through brand new ears.
Because I’ve always tried to keep my pride
There’s one last desperation measure I haven’t tried.
If I was to start crying, show my innermost feelings
If I was to break down on my bended knees and just plead my case.
Would it thaw your frozen heart a little?
Would you show some compassion?
Would you only feel pity and then compelled to turn me away.
Would you only feel pity and turn me away.
Would you only feel pity and send me on my way.
[Crying noises]

"If I Were You"

"If I Were You"


You’ve got it made; you’ve got real love.
Something you don’t find every day.
But you come and go, as free as the wind blows.
I wouldn’t settle down too soon.
If I were you.
If I were you, I’d be satisfied (I’d be satisfied)
Until the grass is greener on the other side.
If I were you, I’d stay by her side
I’d be running wild, I would never leave her
That’s what I would do, if I were you.
You’ve got it made; you’ve got no one
You don’t have no strings to tie you down.
Wow, but someone to trust, someone to lean on
That’s something I would hold on to
If I were you.
If I were you, I’d be satisfied (I’d be satisfied)
I’m sure the grass is greener on the other side.
If I were you, I’d stay by her side
I’d be running wild, I would never leave her
That’s what I would do, if I were you.
O ho, If I were you,
I’d know what I would do.
If I were in your shoes.
O ho, If I were you,
O, I’d be running wild.
But every night I’d be satisfied,
I wouldn’t change one single thing,
If I were you.

"If Not For The Love Of Christ"

"If Not For The Love Of Christ"


Looking back over the years that I've known
If I had made this journey alone
I'd be searching for meaning so empty inside
If not for the love of Christ

I could pretend that I'm satisfied
Make you believe that I'm enjoying the ride
But the smile on my face would be a disguise
If not for the love of Christ

The love of Christ oh the love of Christ
No finer treasure no greater prize
I can't imagine living my life
If not for the love of Christ

No mercy to cover all my mistakes
There'd be no peace through my darkest days
And no hope that I'd ever see paradise
If not for the love of Christ

"If There Were Only Time For Love"

"If There Were Only Time For Love"


If all you had to do each day
Is wake up and go out to play
Shake the hand of all the world
Especially every boy and girl.
And if the only tears you shed
Were tears of joy upon your bed
That made the sea of your love grow
To flowers for the world to know
And if the world would do the same
Life could have a brand new name
The one we've all been dreaming of
If there were only, only time for love
The problems that you're facing now
Would vanish into air somehow
There'd be no one to bring you harm
You'd walk together arm in arm
And peace would reign across the Earth
And Eve could have her Adams worth
And every man would have a smile
And ladies kisses last a while.
We could take each other's hand
Be the others biggest fan
And sing a song about a dove
If there were only, only time for love
I think Jesus lived and died
So we would not be crucified
And all we really have to do
Is you love me and I love you.
If he should return someday
Pass your door along his way
Come in and sit down a while
And see the beauty in your smile.
Think how very proud you'd be
If love was all there was to see
Just like His Father's house above
Where there is only, only time for love

"If You Can't Find Love"

"If You Can't Find Love"


I don't expect you to remember
I'm just a lover from the distant past
I know it's hard when all that time goes by
In the pale of the players never last.

The love we had wouldn't pass for perfect
And we lost a battle on the way
If you run and hide they used to tell this little boy
You could live to fight another day.

If you can't find love and you're lost and lonely
If you come to me I'll take your hand
If you can't find me just think of the memory
When you dream of love I'll be your man.

I guess I'll never know for certain
If you'll let me stay or if I'll go
All I know is the love I have for is something else
The way I feel is something you should know.

Just think of the memory, (When you dream of love I'll be your man)

"In A Tender Moment"

"In A Tender Moment"


5 o’clock this morning
The night is giving in.
I come home without warning
And quietly let myself in.
And as I watch you sleeping
I see the trace of a smile.
I know that I’m in your dreams somewhere
And that you still care.
[CHORUS:]
And in a tender moment like this
When all I can hear is you breathing.
In a tender moment like this
You know you’ve got me believing
That loving you is all there is.
In a tender moment like this.
Seven days that I’ve been away
Are seven too many for me,
But you know that I’ve got to play
It’s me they’re paying to see.
And as I watch you sleeping
You slowly open your eyes.
That crowd fades to a distant roar
And I’m home once more.
[CHORUS:]
All of my life I’ve been burning
With a fire that’s swept me alone
But how I would trade every song, every place
For this one moment alone.
[CHORUS:]
That loving you is all there is.
In a tender moment like this.

"In My Own Crazy Way"

"In My Own Crazy Way"


The mystery of you and me
Is coloured blue on blue
We once said more than we could give
We couldn’t see it through.

You won’t believe these words from me
But still they’re mine to say
I will always love you
In my own crazy way.

I’ve tried to keep my sanity
By being someone else
Someone that you
Could hold on to
I only fooled myself.

I knew the part
But in my heart
The role I couldn’t play
But I will always love you
In my own crazy way.

I know I didn’t do the little things
That could make a woman’s heart sing
Forgive me.
Darling if I brought you any pain
I’m trying to explain
In my heart I was always true.

But memories of you and me
Are written on the wing
And sometimes girl
I’d give the world
To do it all again.

And if you need
To call on me
Woh, I won’t be far away
I will always love you
In my own crazy way.
