"Don't Turn Around"

"Don't Turn Around"


Don’t turn around, you could be tempted
You could change your mind again and stay.
Don’t turn around, go through the door and walk away.
A word of advice – don’t offer love to turn your world around.
More often than not it just helps to dull the pain
A toss of the dice, two losing lovers face up on the ground.
Time to move on and hanging on only brings those tears again.
Don’t turn around, you could be tempted
You could change your mind again and stay
Don’t turn around,
Go through the door and walk away.
Don’t say you’ll never be pulled in again
Sooner or later the damage will mend
And you’ll be willing and able
And dying to fall in love.
And when you fall just think of me and when I let you go.
Someday I know every word I say tonight, will haunt me so
Don’t turn around, you could be tempted
You could change your mind again and stay
Don’t turn around,
Go through the door and walk away.
Don’t turn around, you could be tempted
You could change your mind again and stay
Don’t turn around,
Go through the door and walk away.
Don’t turn around,
Go through the door and walk away.

"Down Deep Inside"

"Down Deep Inside"


I know you're scared
I see you runnin'
Afraid of love
You feel it comin'
Girl don't make that mistake
I'm telling you why
When you feel it deep inside
You know it ain't no lie

Down deep inside
Listen to your heart's beat
Down deep inside
Tellin' you the truth girl
Down deep inside
Feel the way your heart beats
Stirring up that fire in you
Down deep inside, down deep inside

So girl hang on
You can trust me
That's where my love
Will do you justice
You say your heart's
Been torn apart
So keep it to yourself
I can tell it's been too long
Since you let anyone else

"Down The Hall"

"Down The Hall"


I've never been to the islands where the palm trees grow so tall
I've never been teased by that sweet ocean breeze
But I've been down the hall
I've never been to Paris, or even to Niagara Falls
But that's alright, 'cause oh, the night
That I've been down the hall
Down the hall, sweet Joanna
Down the hall is paradise
Oh you wouldn't believe the things I see
When she turns out the lights
People have gazed and wandered upon the great China wall
But I can honestly say from right where we lay
I haven't missed a thing at all
'Cause I've been down the hall
Some say they cannot imagine
Believin' in a world so small
They don't know the places I go
When I go down the hall

"Dream Of Me"

"Dream Of Me"


My life on the road girl
Has always been hard on me and you
Every time we say goodbye
It gets harder to do
But when I'm far away somewhere alone
And the missing you starts
All I've got to do is picture you
And I can feel you in my heart
So dream of me
Every time you get to feelin' blue
Dream of me
And I'll be dreaming of you
I've been a lot of places
There's just no place like home
And I'm always on my way back to you
Every minute that I'm gone
So when you get to feelin' lonely
Just remember we won't always be apart
Close your eyes and think of me
And you can feel me in your heart

"Dream On"

"Dream On"


Lay your head down on my shoulder
I won't let the night get colder
I'll protect you, I'll be keepin'
Trouble far from where you're sleepin'.
Until you wake in the mornin'
You've got the world to yourself.
Dream on
Dream about the world we're gonna live in one fine day
Dream on
Spent the night in heaven I'll be here to light your way.
Someday tomorrow we'll smile
But little girl in the meanwhile
Dream on.
You're a princess chains around you
I'm a hero who just found you
'Til a brand new day must wake you
Let imagination take you
Go where the music is playing
I'll be along in awhile.
[Chorus]

"Dream On Me"

"Dream On Me"


I don’t know how such big ideas
Can fit in your pretty head
Sometimes I can’t believe my ears
When I hear what you just said.
Somebody else might think you’re crazy
But I know that they’re wrong.
Dream on, dream on.
You gotta wild imagination
A little left of reality
A water colour vision
That you’ gotta believe to see
I’d never want to change you baby
The only thing I want is when you
Dream on, dream on me.
My chest you rest your head on
These hands you can rely on
When you need to find someone to lean on
To dream on, you can
Dream on me.
I’ll walk in the shadows
That don’t bother me
I don’t mind riding shotgun
Baby here’s the keys
Just hit the gas and take me
Where only you heart can go
Is when you dream on, dream on me.
My chest you rest your head on
These hands you can rely on
When you need to find someone to lean on
To dream on, you can
Dream on me.
My chest you rest your head on
These hands you can rely on
When you need to find someone to lean on
To dream on, you can
Dream on me.

"Easy"

"Easy"


All the boys called her Easy
Took her to drive-in movies
And bragged about the good times they had
The girls talked about her
And had parties without her
And wondered why a girl would let herself go so bad.
They called her Easy, Easy
And laughed about how easy she was
They called her Easy, Easy
They said she was easy to love.
They didn't care if she was lonely
They didn't care if she was only reaching out
The only way she could
They didn't try to understand her
And this small town talk branded her
With names that said she wasn't any good.
They called her Easy, Easy
And laughed about how easy she was
They called her Easy, Easy
They said she was easy to love.
Easy's child came early
It seemed in such a hurry
For one who'd go through life without a name.
Easy's eyes were brighter
Than the moonlight on the water
When they handed her the child no one would claim.
My friends thought I was crazy
To love Easy and her baby
They said I was a fool, but I just smiled
'Cause love is what you make it
Any way you finally take it
It's the only thing that makes life worthwhile.
Now she's Easy, she’s Easy
And life is not as lonely as it was
Because she's Easy, she's Easy
She's so easy to love.
Now she's Easy, she’s Easy
And life is not as lonely as it was.

"Elvira"

"Elvira"


Elvira, Elvira, my heart's on fire, for Elvira
Eyes that look like heaven, lips like cherry wine
That girl can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feelin' up and down my spine
'Cause I know that my Elvira's mine
So I’m singin'
Elvira, Elvira, my heart's on fire, for Elvira
Giddy Up, Oom Poppa Oom Poppa Mow Mow
Giddy Up, Oom Poppa Oom Poppa Mow Mow
High-o Silver, away.
Tonight I'm gonna meet her at the Hungry House Cafe
I'm gonna give her all the love I can, yes I am
She's gonna jump and holler
Cause I’ve saved up my last two dollars
We're gonna search and find that preacher man
And I’m singin’
Elvira, Elvira, my heart's on fire, for Elvira
Giddy Up, Oom Poppa Oom Poppa Mow Mow
Giddy Up, Oom Poppa Oom Poppa Mow Mow
High-o Silver, away.
Elvira, Elvira, my heart's on fire, for Elvira [fading]

"Emmylou"

"Emmylou"


Oh ho, Emmylou. Emmylou,
What in the world can I do?
Spend my life just trying to get close to you
Heaven is a girl named Emmylou.
Trailed you out to Houston
To a hotel downtown,
Followed you down the corridor
But you never turned around.
But one of your big old bodyguards
Suggested that I leave
He didn't seem to appreciate
the patch upon my sleeve.
That read
Oh. ho, Emmylou. Emmylou,
Just a fan who’s in love with you.
Spend most of my time trying to talk to you
Heaven is a girl named Emmylou.
I heard you went to LA
So I hitched myself a ride
California dreaming of me
Right there by your side.
Out at the Palomino Club
I watched you all night long
Until you looked right at me
In the words of your last song.
I asked you for your guitar pick
That’s all that I could say
Then the limo did appear
And took the queen away.
Oh ho, Emmylou. Emmylou,
What in the world can I do?
Spend my life just trying to get close to you
Heaven is a girl named Emmylou.
Well I love Olivia’s eyes
And Ronstadt‘s really nice
But heaven is a girl named Emmylou.

"Every Now And Then"

"Every Now And Then"


When we needed help the most we found each other
And without you I don't know where I'd have been
We have soothed each other's quiet desperations
and loved each other every now and then
We have made each other laugh like happy children
You have sometimes felt my teardrops on your hand
And when we can't control our lonely feelings
We love each other now and then
We're a little less than lovers but a little more than friends
Clinging to each other until the darkness ends
We have held each other time and time again
And loved each other every now and then
Some day I'll find the one who's meant for me
And I hope that some day you'll find love again
But we'll always have the very special memories
Of the love we gave each other now and then
We're a little less than lovers but a little more than friends
Clinging to each other until the darkness ends
We have held each other time and time again
And loved each other every now and then
We have held each other time and time again
And loved each other every now and then
