"Loving God, Loving Each Other"

"Loving God, Loving Each Other"


Loving God, loving each other,
Making music with my friends;
Loving God, loving each other,
And the music never ends.
They pushed back from the table
To listen to His words,
His secret plan before He had to go.
It's not complicated;
Don't need a lot of rules,
This is all you'll need to know.
Loving God, loving each other,
Making music with my friends;
Loving God, loving each other,
And the music never ends.
We tend to make it harder,
Build steeples out of stone,
Fill with explanations of The Way,
But if we'd stop and listen
And break a little bread,
We wuld hear the Master say
Loving God, loving each other,
Making music with my friends;
Loving God, loving each other,
And the music never ends.

"Lucky Moon"

"Lucky Moon"


I was there in the very next room
She thought I was down the hall
She was talking on the phone like women do
She didn’t know I could hear at all.
I heard her say to her very best friend
He doesn’t love me like I did back then
She said lately I’ve been so alone
So tomorrow morning I’ll be gone.
[CHORUS:]
Lucky moon stay out tonight, sunlight stay away
I’ve got one more chance to make things right
We’ve gotta make her want to stay
It’s up to me and you, lucky moon.
Make reservations at her favourite restaurant
Candle light and expensive wine
Try to let her know that she’s the one that I want
Gotta show her while I’ve still got time.
I can’t believe how stupid I’ve been
God knows I love her like I did back then
Better take to heart her warning
Somehow change her mind by morning.
[CHORUS:]
The first star I see tonight
I wish I may, I pray she might
Find a little magic in the moonlight.
Lucky moon stay out tonight, sunlight stay away
I’ve got one more chance to make things right
We’ve gotta make her want to stay
[CHORUS:]
Lucky moon.
Lucky moon.

"Make My Life With You"

"Make My Life With You"


Here in the day, here in the light
All I can see is you last night
Lit by the moon still by my side
Loving arms open wide.
And the love that comes over me
Is enough to make me stay.

Is it life lived separately?
Is life all it ought to be?
Oh, if it were up to me
I'd make my life with you.

Some people say it's a dangerous game
I'll take my chances just the same
If love is a game and you are the prize
You standing here is no surprise.
And the love that comes over me
Is enough to make me stay.

Is it life lived separately?
Is life all it ought to be?
Oh, if it were up to me
I'd make my life with you.

Is it life lived separately?
Is life all it ought to be?
Oh, if it were up to me
I'd make my life with you.

Is it life lived separately?
Is life all it ought to be?
Oh, if it were up to me
I'd make my life with you.

"Mama's Table"

"Mama's Table"


We’d pull a chair up every night
And eat and talk and joke and fight
Us kids learned wrong from right
At mama's table.
With just some hickory wood and screws
It’s where my daddy read the news
You didn't put your dirty shoes
On mama's table.
It was the centre of the best times I remember
Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together
Grandma passed it down when I was in a cradle
It's in my kitchen now but it's still my mama's table.
It's where my brother and I played games
I just knew he'd gone insane
The day he carved his name
In mama's table.
And when we got down on our luck
It seemed like it held us up
you could always feel the love
In mama's table.
It was the centre of the best times I remember
Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together
Grandma passed it down when I was in a cradle
It's in my kitchen now but it's still my mama's table.
It got some faded spots and cracks
And a couple of burns from candle wax
There’s a memory in each scratch
On mama's table.

"Mary Christmas"

"Mary Christmas"


It's Christmas, Mary's coming home
She is the only thing I want
Another year has come and gone
It's Christmas, Mary's coming home

I'm a-sittin' by the phone waitin' for her call
One short ring and I'll be gone to get my baby doll
We're gonna rock around the clock down at the Legion Hall
I can't wait to hear her say Merry Christmas, merry way

I wrote a letter to Santa Claus just like I was a little child
Said all I need was a little love all wrapped up in her smile
I've been good, but I'll be better in just a little while
He must have read between the lines
It won't be long and she'll be mine

Gonna be a Mary Christmas
It's gonna be a Mary Christmas

"Mrs. Santa Claus"

"Mrs. Santa Claus"


Now everybody's heard of Mrs. Santa Claus
Everybody knows she's Santa's wife
Every Christmas Eve, she sits up all alone
An' waits till he gets home again all right
He says, "Don't you cry or worry, Mrs. Santa Claus
After all these years, the reindeer know their way
You know ho-ho I love you, Mrs. Santa Claus
An' I'll be home before it's Christmas day"
Now all the elves that make the toys for Santa Claus
Spend their one night off the whole year long
Singin' songs and dancin' 'round the Christmas tree
Fillin' Mrs. Santa Claus with cheer
Singin', "Don't you cry or worry, Mrs. Santa Claus
After all these years, the reindeer know their way
You know ho-ho we love you, Mrs. Santa Claus
An' Santa will be home on Christmas day"
Well, if you ever think of Mrs. Santa Claus
Sitting by herself on Christmas Eve
Maybe you could write a special Christmas card
To help poor Mrs. Santa Claus believe
Sayin', "Don't you cry or worry, Mrs. Santa Claus
After all these years, the reindeer know their way
You know ho-ho we love you, Mrs. Santa Claus
Santa will be home on Christmas day"
"You know ho-ho we love you, Mrs. Santa Claus
And Santa will be home on Christmas day"

"My Girl Friday"

"My Girl Friday"


She stands there with her suitcase
We've been through all this before
I know it's gonna hurt me
When she walks out the door
I wish things could be different
We didn't have to say goodbye
But someone else is in the picture
And we don't see eye to eye

The minute that she leaves here
She'll run straight into their arms
Gotta find the strength to let her go
Although it breaks my heart
One last time I hold her tightly
And kiss her on the cheek
As she rushes to the car I'm left
To face the lonely week

She's my girl Friday as far as I'm concerned
I'm lost without her don't know which way to turn
Thursday takes forever and Monday comes too soon
But at least she's my girl Friday till Sunday afternoon

She stands up in the back seat
And softly waves goodbye
I turn away before I want to
She don't need to see me cry
I know that I'd go crazy
If it wasn't for the fact
That I'll always be her daddy
And they'll have to bring her back

"My Radio Sure Sounds Good To Me"

"My Radio Sure Sounds Good To Me"


Yeah!
My radi-i-o-i-o-i-o, my radi-i-o-i-o, yeah
My radi-i-o-i-o-i-o, my radi-i-o-i-o, yeah

My radi-i-o sure sounds good to me
My radi-i-o sure sounds good to me

Oh when I wake up in the morning the very first thing that I do
I turn on the radio and I listen to Y - O - U

"Never Together (But Close Sometimes)"

"Never Together (But Close Sometimes)"


There’s a song in your eye
As blue as the sky.
Just looking at you keeps me singing it.
There’s music and wine
That sparkle and shine.
One for your money and two to quit.

Every day it’s getting less hard to be
Never together but close sometimes.
Windows and rain, bluebirds and planes,
They’re never together but they’re close sometimes.

A girl in New York once captured my heart
But the winter was cold and I had to split.
Sweet Tennessee spoke softly to me.
I’m home when I’m home and I’m loving it.

Every day it’s getting less hard to be
Never together but close sometimes.
Windows and rain, bluebirds and planes,
Are never together but they’re close sometimes.

Life in these bars
With the make believe stars,
People and loneliness passing time.
A world full of fools
Sitting glued to their stools
Drowning in sadness and Rose wine.

And every day it’s getting less hard to be
Never together but close sometimes.
Windows and rain, bluebirds and planes,
Are never together but they’re close sometimes.

And every day it’s getting less hard to be
Never together but close sometimes.
Windows and rain, bluebirds and planes,
Are never together but they’re close sometimes.
Are never together but they’re close sometimes.

"New Way Out"

"New Way Out"


I know how hard she’ll take it
When she finds out I can’t stay
So I don’t want to have to tell her
If there’s any other way.
Is there any new way out
Hearts are never broken.
Is there any new way out?
And no-one’s ever hurt in anger.
New way out, and harsh words are never spoken.
Is there any new way out?

Now it only stands to reason
With all the plans that miss
That someone might have stumbled
On a better way than this.
Is there any new way out
Where tears are never needed?
Is there any new way out
Where no-one ever needs surrender
New way out, neither side’s mistreated.
Is there any new way out?

Is there any new way out
Where hearts are never broken?
Is there any new way out
And no-one’s ever hurt in anger?
New way out, and harsh words are never spoken.
Is there any new way out?
