"Sight For Sore Eyes"

"Sight For Sore Eyes"



When the storms of the day have all blown away Along with fair weather friends
There's a place I can go where the wind doesn't blow
It's the best place I've ever been

You're a sight for sore eyes
When I need a friend
You're a sight for sore eyes
Let the healing begin

When the chips are all down and there's no one around
To count on like I count on you
I just picture your face and let it erase
All the pain I'm goin' through

You're a sight for sore eyes
When I need a friend
You're a sight for sore eyes
Let the healing begin

When I get lost and I can't find my way
And there's nowhere to turn at the end of the day

You're a sight for sore eyes
When I need a friend
You're a sight for sore eyes
Let the healing begin

You're a sight for sore eyes
Let the healing begin

"Silent Night"

"Silent Night"



Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, All is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so Tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight!
Glories stream from heaven afar;
Heavenly hosts sing Al-le-lu-ia!
Christ the Saviour is born!
Christ the Saviour is born!

Silent night, holy night!
Wondrous star, lend thy light!
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King!
Christ the Saviour is here,
Jesus the Saviour is here!

Silent night, Holy night!
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord at thy birth;
Jesus Lord at thy birth.

"Silver Bells"

"Silver Bells"



Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmastime in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmastime in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day

Strings of street lights
Even stop lights blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all the bustle you'll hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmastime in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day

Soon it will be Christmas Day
Soon it will be Christmas Day

"Sleigh Ride"

"Sleigh Ride"



Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you,
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo hoo,"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
Let's go, Let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
It's grand, Just holding your hand,
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land.

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop,
At the fireplace while we watch
The chestnuts pop. Pop! pop! pop!

There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy,
When they pass around the chocolate
And the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print
By Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives!

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you,
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo hoo,"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
Let's go, Let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
It's grand, Just holding your hand,
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

"Smilin' Song"
(feat. Michael McDonald)

"Smilin' Song"
(feat. Michael McDonald)



I've done some things that I hadn't oughta
Like coming home late with the preacher's daughter
I'd hit the back door seeing double
My ol' man waiting with a fistful of trouble

Sometimes you lose, sometimes you're a winner
Talk about love I ain't no beginner
I'm a sucker for a juke joint jumpin'
I never stop chasin' the scent of a woman

[Chorus:]
It's just the way that I've always been
Knock me down, I'm coming back again
I just sing, been there , done that
I come up smilin' song

I've been on top and I've hit the bottom
Tlak about hard times Lord, I've got 'em
Just keep runnin' and go full throttle
There ain't no answer in the bottom of a bottle

[Chorus 2x]

"Some Things Never Get Old"
(feat. Emmylou Harris)

"Some Things Never Get Old"
(feat. Emmylou Harris)



Have you ever watched the sunset
Disappear in the water down in Mexico
The sky on fire melting into the ocean
Man there's some things that never get old

Have you ever seen a baby walk for the first time
It's like watching a sparrow, a sparrow's wings unfold
When that baby smiles up at you
Man there's some things that never get old

Makin' sweet love to that gal of mine
My first taste of bluebird wine
Eatin' watermelon down to the rind
Any old song by brother John Prine

Sometimes that face looking back in the mirror
Make that mirror, make that mirror cold
But in my heart, oh I'm a hundred years younger
Man there's some things that never get old

Ridin' into town with some friends of mine
It's a two-tone Chevy, she's a '59
Ice cold beer in the summertime
Pickin' on the back porch with brother John Prine

I think livin' is one long highway
I'm bettin' Heaven is at the end of the road
I think love just might be the answer
Man there's some things that never get old

I think love, oh Lord, I know it's the answer
Man there's some things that never get old

"Someday"

"Someday"


I wipe a tear away
As I give up on this day
Wonderin' if I'll ever find someone
When I close my eyes and dream
There are words I'm whispering
Someday love will come

I won't have a doubt
My head up in the clouds
And certain as the morning sun
I will always believe
There's somebody just for me
Someday love will come


[Chorus:]
Someday
After all these nights of waiting
And someday
I'll find a chance worth taking
Saving me
From wakin' up alone
My heart will find a home
Someday

And she'll be so beautiful
The sweetest miracle
Someday love will come

[Chorus]

And when I close my eyes and dream
These are the words I'm whispering
Someday love will come
Someday love will come

"Something's Missing"

"Something's Missing"


The street looks different tonight
Something has changed
I had this picture in mind
But it's just not the same

Had this great expectation
About a heart that's free
I thought that's what I wanted
Would be waiting for me

[Chorus:]
Baby something's missing tonight
Something ain't feeling right
Baby something's wrong and I'm so confused
Baby something's missing inside
Something I can't find in the night
I finally realized what I'm missing is you

In this crowd of old friends
Why do I feel alone
I thought I'd fall back in step
This is where I belong

I thought that freedom was a voice
Calling from the dark
Now I see I was only free
When you were in my heart

[Chorus]

I thought that freedom was a voice
Calling from the dark
Now I see I was only free
When you were in my heart

[Chorus]

"Son Of A Ramblin' Man"
(feat. Del McCoury)

"Son Of A Ramblin' Man"
(feat. Del McCoury)



Have you ever had a thing for a woman
A thing that makes you lose your mind
Everytime I start to think about her
Sends shivers up and down my spine
My daddy was a bit of a rounder
Siad these women are gonna make you go blind
Well I told my old man that I'm right over here
Like the way I see just fine

[Chorus:]
I'm the son of a ramblin' man
Son of a runnin' kind
I'm the son of a ramblin' man
Come from a long long line

Well I'm just a hillbilly gypsy
Ain't much for settling down
If I thought somebody might miss me
Maybe I'd have to hang around
So I better keep on drifting
Every town just a little too small
Ain't nothin' in the world like a woman
I'm going to try to love them all

[Chorus 3x]

"South Side Of Dixie"

"South Side Of Dixie"


You know I'm about to lose my mind
I got a woman down below the Mason-Dixon line
She deals the cards awful good to me
She's a blackjack dealer on the Delta Queen

[Chorus:]
On the south side of Dixie
From Savannah Georgia down to New Orleans
On the south side of Dixie
Women there they don't treat you mean
On the south side of Dixie
A side of the south you ain't never seen

Half a tank north of Birmingham
Red eye gravy and country ham
Chattanooga woman sure is sweet
She's a hillbilly singer from Tennessee

[Chorus]

If you go down south, you're gonna have a ball
You'll go half crazy tryin' to love 'em all
You might get lucky, you can't never tell
With them Georgia peaches and them southern belles

[Chorus]
