"No Matter How High"

"No Matter How High"


When I was a young boy I would dream about life
And wonder just how sweet it would be
But baby I got lucky when I met you that night
Now you'll always have this promise from me.
No matter how high I get,
I'll always look up to you,
You’ll always be number one,
I'll settle for number two.
You've always been there for me
Baby, I must confess
I'll always look up to you
No matter how high I get.
Up here on the mountain it gets crazy sometimes,
So crazy I don't know what to do.
When I've had it up to here with all of their lies
I can count on you to tell me the truth.
No matter how high I get,
I'll always look up to you,
You’ll always be number one,
I'll settle for number two.
You've always been there for me
Baby, I must confess
I'll always look up to you
No matter how high I get.
You are the one that turned me around,
You help me keep my feet on the ground.
No matter how high I get,
I'll always look up to you,
You’ll always be number one,
I'll settle for number two
You've always been there for me
Baby, I must confess
I'll always look up to you
No matter how high.
No matter how high I get,
I'll always look up to you,
You’ll always be number one,
I'll settle for number two
You've always been there for me
Baby, I must confess
I'll always look up to you
No matter how high.
No matter how high I get,
I'll always look up to you,
You’ll always be number one,
I'll settle for number two.
You've always been there for me
Baby, I must confess
I'll always look up to you
No matter how high I get.

"No Way Out"

"No Way Out"


Yes I really saw her,
What was I supposed to do?
Yes, she was my lover
Long before I knew you.
Love is a place you’ve been,
Ten million miles around.
When you fall a long way in,
Darling there’s no way out.
Yes she’s still as pretty,
Yes her eyes are that blue.
Yes there’s still a trace there
Of the feeling we knew.
Love is a place you’ve been,
Ten million miles around.
When you fall a long way in,
Darling there’s no way out.
Oh but how could you ever think
She could be anything more than old memories?
What about all our dreams
How can I make you be sure, sure about me,
Sure about these moments together
These nights that we’ve cried,
These roads to forever, these feelings inside?
When love is a place you’ve been,
Ten million miles around.
When you fall a long way in,
Darling there’s no way out.
When you fall a long way in,
Darling there’s no way out.

"Oh Holy Night"

"Oh Holy Night"


O Holy Night The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees O hear the angels voices
O night divine O night when Christ was born
O night divine O night divine O night divine
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His Name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy Name

"Old Family Love"

"Old Family Love"


She steps into a permanent spot formed by his embrace
And the light that shines in her eyes puts a smile on his face
They dance across the floor without saying a word
Each knowing what the other's thinking of
They're lost in the sweet melody of an old familiar love

As smooth as the passing of time they move as one
When the music has faded away they're still dancing on
And she just giggles with a blush
Safe in the warm gentle arms of an old familiar love

Soft as a whisper silent as a stone
True as the stars that shine
A love that stays forever young
But stands the test of time

She reaches her hand back for his as they walk off the floor
Without looking he's reaching for hers like all those times before
So sure of one another, her hand slips into his
And their hearts are dancing to the touch
Sharing the comfort they've found in an old familiar love

They're lost in the sweet melody of an old familiar love

"Old Kentucky Song"

"Old Kentucky Song"


Songs on the radio
Like 'Careless Lover' come and go
Playing today and gone tomorrow
But if they ever find a tune
Half as strong as me and you
That's all they'll ever play, over and over
'Cause honey we're staying strong

Like that old Kentucky song
A melody that lasts forever
Harmony don't get no better
On and on we were made to sing along
Playing like that old Kentucky song

So turn down the radio
And whisper to me soft and low
Words I heard the first time we were lovers
You say hold me close and let me know
You're never gonna let me go
Well I'm still close and you still know it
Well honey the love just keeps on growing strong

"Old Time Family Blugrass Band"

"Old Time Family Blugrass Band"


We catch our memories wandering through the past from time to time
As a mountain families’ music fills again inside our mind
We dream about Euganean Hills and West Virginian land
And an old time family blue grass band.
Our God fearing mum and daddy raised us young ‘uns on a song
By the banks where old new river gently sways and rolled along
Where once upon a time there dwelled a close knit mountain clan
An old time family blue grass band.
You never heard the like of melodies our family played
The guitar kept the rhythm as the fiddle sawed away
We recall a banjo ringing and a singing mandolin
In an old time family blue grass band.
Daddy slapped the upright, mamma strummed the other part
We couldn’t read the music we just played it all by heart
Lord hallowed songs just flowed across that fertile mountain land
In an old time family blue grass band.
I see us sitting round the porch on starry summer nights
I remember how the music made my world seem good and right
When all the folks would raise their happy voices and join in
With the old time family blue grass band.
You never heard the like of melodies our family played
The guitar kept the rhythm as the fiddle sawed away
We recall a banjo ringing and a singing mandolin
In an old time family blue grass band.
Yes an old time family blue grass band.

"Old Time Lovin'"

"Old Time Lovin'"


Give me that old time lovin’
Like we was in love again-in
Yes that old time lovin’
Make it never ending
Give me that old time, good time lovin’ we once knew
I want that old time love again with you.

Love was sweet, love was ripe
We’d rush home every night
Life was like a flower in full bloom
Little house, no one cared
There were good times to be shared
Even though the place just had three rooms
And there was hardly a whole night that we slept through
How I want that old time love again with you.

Give me that old time lovin’
Like we was in love again-in
Yes that old time lovin’
Make it never ending
Give me that old time, good time lovin’ we once knew
I want that old time love again with you.

Times were hard but we had fun
When the old car wouldn’t run
We thought of better things to do
Love was sweet, love was ripe
Let’s bring it back tonight
Let’s make that old time lovin’ seem brand new
It’s the only kind of lovin’ that will do
How I want that old time love again with you.

Give me that old time lovin’
Like we was in love again-in
Yes that old time lovin’
Make it never ending
Give me that old time, good time lovin’ we once knew
I want that old time love again with you.

Give me that old time lovin’
Like we was in love again-in
Yes that old time lovin’
Make it never ending
Give me that old time, good time lovin’ we once knew
I want that old time love again with you.

Give me that old time lovin’
Like we was in love again-in
Yes that old time lovin’
Make it never ending
Give me that old time, good time lovin’ we once knew
I want that old time love again with you.

"One Love, One You"

"One Love, One You"


Many’s the time that I’ve stood amazed
At the warmth in your eyes and the smile on your face
And many’s the night I thank my lucky stars
That I’m where I am and you’re who you are.
I know when we touch in the dark
There can only be one love, one you
It’s as simple as that, one love, one you.
I know I owe all this happiness to
One love, one you.
This world hears too many promises made
That are too hard to keep and too easy to break
So my one, only one, that I’m making is this.
I’ll be with you wherever that is.
I know as long as I live
There can only be one love, one you.
It’s as simple as that, one love, one you.
I know I owe all this happiness to
one love, one you.
Now the world only needs one sun in the sky
Only one moon to light up the night.
As for me, all that I need is one love, one you,
It’s as simple as that, one love, one you.
I know I owe all this happiness to
One love, one you.
One love, one you.
One love, one you.
Oh yeah,
One love, one you.

"Only One I Love"

"Only One I Love"


Morning eyes callin' like the sun risin'
Your smile comes shinin' through
Lovers hearts wakin' dreamy love makin'
Once again I want to tell you baby

You're only one, only one I love
You're the only one that makes me want to
Push the world away hold you close and say
You're the only one I love

Evening eyes greet me loving hand gently
Make my worries disappear
Rub my tired shoulders talk the day over
Cause the only one that cares is you girl

"Ophelia"

"Ophelia"


Boards on the windows
Mail by the door
Why would anybody leave so quickly for
Ophelia where have you gone
That old neighborhood just ain't the same
Nobody knows just what became of
Ophelia tell me what went wrong
Was it somethin' that somebody said
Mama I know we broke the rules
Was somebody up against the law
Honey, you know I'd die for you
Ashes of laughter
The ghost is clear
Why do the best things always disappear
Like Ophelia please knock on my door
They got your number, scared and runnin'
I'm still waitin' for the second coming of
Ophelia, honey come back home
