"A Woman's Touch"

"A Woman's Touch"


Right from the first day
one man stood alone
And somehow he missed
what didn't exist
How could he have known

He looked all around him..
and lifted his head
For he heard a voice
and rose to rejoice as somebody said

This place needs a woman's touch
To share in the plan
For without a woman's touch
Life don't mean much to a man

Up through the ages
the stories the same
A king to himself, alone with his wealth
is living in vain
His castle will crumble
and he'll wonder why
'Cause wealthy or poor,
there's one thing for sure
He just can't deny
the need of a woman's touch
to share in the plan
For without a woman's touch
Life don't mean much to a man

I was a drifter who couldn't be tamed
So wreckless and wild..
but lost like a child
whose dreams never came
Then I felt the pleasures
of love's happiness
One look in her eyes and
I realized
I've truly been blessed

Thank God for a woman's touch
to share in the plan
For it took my woman's touch
to make me feel like a man

Thank God for a woman's touch
to share in the plan
For it took my woman's touch
to make me feel like a man...

"Ain't No Grave"

"Ain't No Grave"


[Chorus:]
Ain't no grave gonna hold this body down
There ain't no grave gonna hold this body down
When I hear the trumpet sound
Gonna get up outta the ground
Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold this body down

You said go down yonder Gabriel
Place your foot on the land and sea
But don't you blow that trumpet until you hear from me

[Chorus]

Oh, look way over Jordan
What do you think I see
I saw a band of Holy Angels and they're comin' after me
I cried meet me Jesus meet me
Meet me in the middle of the air
I'm gonna rise to meet my Lord and I'll say goodbye down here

[Chorus]

One day if they carry me out to the graveyard
Like my grandma like my grandpa
And they lay this body down
Don't cry for me
Church-don't cry for me

"Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone"
(originally by Bill Withers)

"Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone"
(originally by Bill Withers)



Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she's gone,
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.

Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

"Ain't That A Lot Of Love"
(performed with Simply Red)



I know the desert can't hold all the love
that I feel in my heart for you, yeah
If I could spread it out across the sea
I know my love would cork it up
Ain't that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
If the bees only knew how sweet you are, Baby
They would seal up their honey comb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up the song
Ain't that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Your lips are so sweet
Honey, you're my every need
You got a smile so rare
A love like yours I just can't compare
Ain't that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours
They wouldn't need a fire
I can't think of a word that describes your love better
Than the sky above
Ain't that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Yeah
Ain't that a lot of love
Ain't that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love
Ain't that a lot of love
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love
Ain't that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Oh that's a lot of love
Lot of love
Sounds like a lot of love
Sounds like a lot of love
For one heart to hold
For one heart to hold

"All Blues Hail Mary"
(originally by Joe Henry)

"All Blues Hail Mary"
(originally by Joe Henry)



From the mountain comes a soul
And the stones grow up like trees
From the mountain comes a soul
And the stones grow up like trees

All blues hail Mary with her roses
But you're their masterpiece

Cut away each blade of grass
Our feet cannot tramp down
The limb of every hanging tree
That time's left hanging round

All blues sing that love is light not glory
And a story, not a crown

I won't be death's sad trophy now
While I still lie awake
I won't be death's sad trophy now
While I still lie awake
All the blues sing of love and death and you
As chances yet to take

How dark this bit of light so late
That falls across your breast
How dark this bit of light so late
That falls across your breast

All blues and the grace by God and the
I will have to
I will have to learn the rest

"All I Can Say Is Goodbye"

"All I Can Say Is Goodbye"


There was time when your hand
Reached for mine
And a moment apart would mean
Breaking your heart
Now you're out of my arms
And we're strangers again
Is it this easy then, for a real love to end
Oh, please...turn your back...
Walk away from me
I didn't dream you'd cry
I'm standing here as I've set you free
And all I can say is goodbye
I've tried everything but we must go away
If we talk anymore...we may never be sure
So don't look in my eyes
For you'll see that it shows
I still love you, you know,
But I must let you go
Oh, please...turn your back
Walk away from me
I didn't dream you'd cry
I'm standing here as I've set you free
And all I can say is goodbye
Ohhh, please... turn your back...
Walk away from me
I didn't dream you'd cry
I'm standing here as I've set you free
And all I can say is goodbye...

"All I Ever Need Is You"

"All I Ever Need Is You"


Sometimes when I'm sad and all alone
Just like a child without a home
The love you give me keeps me hanging on
Oh, darling, all I ever need is you

You're my first love....You're my last
You're my future....You're my past
Loving you is all I ask, oh, honey
All I ever need is you

Winters come and winters go
And we watch the melting snow
Sure as summer follows spring
All the things you do
Gives me a reason to build my
world around you

Some men follow rainbows, I am told
Some men search for silver, some for gold
But I found my treasure in your soul
Oh, baby, all I ever need is you

You know that without love
I'd never find a way
Through the ups and downs
of everyday
And I won't sleep at night
until I hear you say
Oh, baby, all I ever need is you

Ooh...
But I found my treasure in your soul
All I ever need is you
You know that without love
I'd never find a way
Through the ups and downs
of everyday

And I won't sleep a wink
until I hear you say
Oh, baby, all I ever need is you

Oh, darling, all I ever need is you
Oh, honey, all I ever need is you
Uh, yeh, you know what I mean
Uh, hmmmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Just a little bit...just a little bit
Just a little bit...just a little bit
'Cause all I ever need is you...

"Anniversary Song"

"Anniversary Song"


Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed
We vowed our true love, though a word wasn't said
The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies
Except for the few that were there in your eyes

Dear, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Two hearts gently beating, murmuring low
"Darling, I love you so"

The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn
The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on
Could we but recall that sweet moment sublime
We'd find that our love is unaltered by time

Dear, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Two hearts gently beating, murmuring low
"Darling, I love you so"

"Are You Gonna Go My Way"
(performed with Robbie Williams)

"Are You Gonna Go My Way"
(performed with Robbie Williams)



Hey Robbie are you ready for this
I'm always ready Tom, You know that
I think you were born ready
Ha ha, Come On
I was born long ago
I'm the chosen, I'm the one
I have come to save the day
And I won't leave until I'm done
And that is why you got to try
You got to breathe and have some fun
Though I'm not paid, I play this game
And I won't stop until I'm done
But what I really want to know is…
Are you gonna go my way?
And I got to, got to know
I don't know why we always cry
We must leave and get undone
We have to change and rearrange
And turn this planet back to one
So tell me why, we got to die
And kill each other one by one
We've got to love and rub-a-dub
We've got to dance and fall in love
But what I really want to know is…
Are you gonna go my way?
And I've got to, got to know
Is that you telling it like it is,
Yeah, exactly
Yeah, yeah
Uh huh
Yeah Aw, play the guitar, son
C'mon
Whooh, Yeah, Whooh, Yeah, Whooh, Yeah, Whooh, Yeah
What I really want to know is
Are you gonna go my way?
And I got to, got to know
I got to know

"At This Moment"

"At This Moment"


What did you think
I would do at this moment
When you're standing before me
With tears in your eyes
Tryin' to tell me that you
Have found you another
And you just don't love me no more.
What did you think
I would say at this moment
When I'm faced with the knowledge
That you just don't love me
Did you think I would curse you
Or say things to hurt you
'Cause you just don't love me no more
Did you think I could hate you
Or raise my hands to you
Now come on, you know me too well
How could I hurt you
When, darling, I love you
And you know (and you know) I'd never hurt you
What do you think
I would give at this moment
If you'd stay, I'd subtract twenty years from my life
I'd fall down on my knees
Kiss the ground you walk on
If I could just hold you again
I'd fall down on my knees
Kiss the ground that you walk on
If I could just hold you
If I could just hold you...again
What did you think
I would do at this moment
Oh, can't you see
I'm begging you, girl
Don't walk out on my world
What did you think
I would do at this moment
I'm on my knees for you, baby
Please don't leave me
Please don't walk out of that door
What did you think
I would do at this moment
I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you, girl
Please don't go.
