"Baby, You'll Be My Baby"

"Baby, You'll Be My Baby"

Daybreak pressing on the windowpane
No music playing no morning rain
Nothing but feelings leading me on
I'm just talking to you while you sleep in my arms.
[CHORUS:]
As long as I'm here on earth
Baby you'll be my baby.
All of my love’s in these simple words
Baby you'll be my baby
As long as I'm here on earth.
Life isn't perfect and never will be
It doesn't matter 'cause you're perfect for me
Through heartaches and mistakes, passion and pain
Down to my last breath I'll call your name.
[CHORUS]
Oh, baby you'll be my baby
As long as I'm here on earth.
Oh yes, listen to me now
Just as long as I’m living
Just as long as I’m living baby.
Are you listening to me now
Oh yer, just as long as I’m with you
Just as long, just as long oo, oo
Oh as I’m here on Earth, oh, oh,oh
Just as long as I'm with you.
Just as long, just as long oo, oo
Oh as I’m here on Earth,
Just as long as I'm with you.
Just as long as I'm with you baby
Oh listen to me when I’m saying something
Just as long as I'm with you
Just as long, just as long oo, oo, oo hoo
Oh yer, just as long as I’m with you.

"Back In Your Arms Again"

"Back In Your Arms Again"

The call that I made tonight
Was such a long time due
Baby how long since I heard from you?
I don't really know
What's happening here to me
All that I know is that I long to be
Back in your arms again
I need your love all I can get
Whatever it takes
You know I'll be there
Back in your arms
Back in your arms
The last time I spoke to you
You told me that we were through
That you had found that special someone new
Now that I really know
This feeling of being free
I know that you know where I long to be
Back in your arms again
I need your love all I can get
Whatever it takes
You know I'll be there
Back in your arms
[Repeat Chorus 2x]

"Baptism Of Jesse Taylor"

"Baptism Of Jesse Taylor"

Among the local taverns they'll be a slack in business
'Cause Jesse's drinkin' came before the groceries and the rent
Among the local women they'll be a slack in cheatin'
'Cause Jesse won't be be steppin' out again.

They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm
They all cried "Hallelujah" as Jesse's head went under
'Cause this time he went under for the Lord.

The scars on Jesse's knuckles were more than just respected
The county courthouse records tell all there is to tell
The pockets of the gamblers will soon miss Jesse's money
And the black eye of the law will soon be well.

They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm
They all cried "Hallelujah" as Jesse's head went under
'Cause this time he went under for the Lord.

From now on Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors
Tell how much Jesse took up with little Jim
Now Jimmy's got a daddy and Jesse's got a family
And Franklin County's got a lot more man.

They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm
They all cried "Hallelujah" as Jesse's head went under
'Cause this time he went under for the Lord...

"Beautiful Bluebird"

"Beautiful Bluebird"

One mornin' when I was ridin' in my old pickup truck
A beautiful bluebird came flyin' down
My eyes caught the color as it lead me down the road
Dippin' and bobbin' in the sun

Beautiful bluebird, see how she flies
Looks like she's always goin' home
If heaven had a window where the sun came shinin' through
Like a beautiful bluebird I'd come flyin' back to you

Beautiful bluebird, see how she flies
Looks like she's always goin' home

I've never seen that blue before except in one place
And she's not here with me right now
And just like a lover I watched her fly away
And that's what I remember now

Beautiful bluebird, see how she flies
Looks like she's always goin' home
If heaven had a window where the sun came shinin' through
Like a beautiful bluebird I'd come flyin' back to you

Beautiful bluebird, see how she flies
Looks like she's always goin' home
If heaven had a window where the sun came shinin' through
Like a beautiful bluebird I'd come flyin' back to you
Like a beautiful bluebird I'd come flyin' home to you

"Beautiful You"

"Beautiful You"

Please don't cry, oh my, you're so blue
But I'm here to help you, beautiful you.
You need someone to give you a love that's true
Well I'm here to help you, beautiful you.

Beautiful you, you'll need a man someday,
Beautiful you, you know I'm here to stay
Days go by, oh my, what will you do?
Take me to help you, beautiful you.

Beautiful you, I'll never let you go,
Beautiful you, our love will always grow
Please don't cry, oh my, what will you do
Take me to help you, beautiful you.

"Bed Of Roses"

"Bed Of Roses"

You’re that one special woman
I’d thought I’d never find
With a strength to be gentle
And the courage to be kind.
Though it hasn’t all been roses
I know you’ll understand
One of these nights when we’re sharing our dreams
I’m gonna take you by the hand.

And lay you down on a bed of roses
In that peaceful shelter only love can provide.
I’ll lay you down on a bed of roses
And then I’ll lay me down right by your side.

There’s no diamond on your finger
Just a simple wedding band
Seems your knight in shining armour
Is just an ordinary man.
Though I promised you a kingdom
And we don’t have all we planned
One of these nights when we’re making believe
I’m gonna take you by the hand.

And lay you down on a bed of roses
In that peaceful shelter only love can provide.
I’ll lay you down on a bed of roses
And then I’ll lay me down right by your side.
And then I’ll lay me down right by your side.

"Bedtime"

"Bedtime"

When she walks in the room,
Without saying a word and turns the TV off,
And then turns out the lights, this early at night,
I know what's goin' on.
Baby it's bedtime, bedtime,
The way she's looking at me it easy to see what's on her mind.
Good night, it's gonna be good night
Loves running deep, there's no time to sleep, it's bedtime.
She can say she's in love, but it's something to see
When all of that love comes alive
Filling me with desire, she can sure start afire,
With only the light in her eyes.
Baby it's bedtime, bedtime,
The way she's looking at me it easy to see what's on her mind.
Good night, it's gonna be good night
Loves running deep, there's no time to sleep, it's bedtime...

"Before I Die"

"Before I Die"

Before I die I wanna hit the Mississippi in a boat I've yet to buy
Take it out in the gulf where the water meets the sky
Where nothin' on God's green Earth looks dry
I wanna see that stadium in New York from a right field seat
Maybe catch a home run when the new all-star goes deep
And pretend that Maris and Mantle pointing up at me

While I can still breathe
While this old heart still has another beat
It's time I put some livin' in these dreams

Before I die I'm gonna learn all about how a man swallows pride
Find the strength to tell my daddy he was right
Tell Mama I'm sorry about that night
'Fore I'm called up I wanna be the kind of man that a woman wants to love
Find the side of me that's a different kind of tough
Who ain't ashamed to meet the Man above

While I can still breathe
While this old heart still has another beat
It's time I put some livin' in these dreams

And Lord I know these are the things I should've done a long time ago
When I close my eyes I wanna feel at ease
If I left right now I couldn't rest in peace

While I can still breathe
While this old heart still has another beat
It's time I put some livin' in these dreams

Before I die I wanna hit the Mississippi in a boat I've yet to buy

"Beyond Those Years"

"Beyond Those Years"

Full moons and empty promises
We were only high school kids
We got so close that we closed our eyes
To the facts of life.
We were married in the spring
Not long before the baby came
Your mama said she couldn't bare the shame
Your dad refused to give the bride away.

Beyond those years
Who'd have thought we'd still be standing here?
And that love would find it’s way
Through all those tears
Beyond those years.

Eighteen standing in the shoes of a man
The weight of the world in my unskilled hands
One by one as the dreams fell through
I took my failures out on you.
But you held on when it made no sense
And cleaned the face of the innocent
You were so strong to be so young
And now look just how far we've come.

Beyond those years
Who'd have thought we'd still be standing here?
And that love would find it’s way
Through all those tears
Beyond those years.

So many times we wanted to act our age
Call it off and go our separate ways
Against the odds we grew up too fast
And on our own, yer we made it last
Oo we made it last.

Beyond those years
Who'd have thought we'd still be standing here?
And that love would find it’s way
Through all those tears
Beyond those years.

Beyond those years
Who'd have thought we'd still be standing here?
And that love would find it’s way
Through all those tears
Beyond those years.

Beyond those years
Who'd have thought we'd still be standing here?
And that love would find it’s way
Through all those tears
Beyond those years. [fading]
