"Whippoorwill River"

"Whippoorwill River"


My dad was a man
With two hard workin' hands
He always took time out for me
Well, I'd come home from school
Load up that canoe
He'd say, "What's the bet gonna be?"

[Chorus:]
We'd float that boat down old Whippoorwill River
Catch us a big one or two
Well, he taught me about life
And its simple pleasures
And whatever else that he knew

Then I met a girl
With a head full of curls
A pure and innocent heart
Oh, I knew she was the one
And when weekends would come
Wild horses couldn't keep us apart

[Chorus:]
We'd run those ponies down Whippoorwill River
And I'd steal a sweet kiss or two
She taught me about love
And its simple pleasures
And whatever else that she knew

Well, I married that girl
And we have a song
And he looks like my daddy used to
Oh, his mom and I
Always find time
To do things that he likes to do

[Chorus:]

Well, he loves to go fishing on Whippoorwill River
And ride in his grandad's canoe
We teach hima bout life
And its simple pleasures
And pass down a memory or two
Yeah, he loves to go fishing on Whippoorwill River
And catch him a big one or two
He's learning about life
And its simple pleasures
And making a memory or two

Ooh...

"White Christmas"

"White Christmas"


[Long instrumental intro]

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

"Who Wouldn't Fall In Love With You"

"Who Wouldn't Fall In Love With You"



You catch every eye,
Girl when you pass by,
There ain't no wavin' you don't know.
Look at the way you shine,
You've got this heart of mine
Beating so it won't let go.

Who wouldn't fall in love with you?
The moment you walk in the room,
I know for me it'd be impossible to do
Who wouldn't fall in love with you?

Seems like you've always been,
Everyone's best friend,
The kind your folks would talk about.
A smile I just can't miss,
The kind you can't resit,
Just one kiss there'd be no doubt.

Who wouldn't fall in love with you?
The moment you walk in the room,
I know for me it'd be impossible to do
Who wouldn't fall in love with you?

Who wouldn't fall in love with you?
The moment you walk in the room,
I know for me it'd be impossible to do
Who wouldn't fall in love with you?
Who wouldn't fall in love with you?

"Winter Wonderland"

"Winter Wonderland"



Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the blue bird, here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say "Are you married?" We'll say, "No, man"
"But you can do the job if you're in town"

Later on we'll conspire, as we dream by the fire
To face unfraid the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening

Gone away is the blue bird, here to stay is a new bird

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say "Are you married?" We'll say, "No, man"
"But you can do the job if you're in town"

Later on we'll conspire, as we dream by the fire
To face unfraid the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland

Yeah, I'm walking in a winter wonderland
Yeah, I'm walking in a winter wonderland

"With You"

"With You"


I can just see us now
You and me paintin' the town
Forever just foolin' around
With you

Just think of the things we'd do
Baby just me and you
My heart can finally be true
With you

[Chorus:]
With you
And you with me
Is all that I can see
It ain't no mystery
I long to always be
With you
With you
I wanna be with you

I see you in every dream
Girl in my eyes you're queen
My happiness you could bring
With you

So what are you waitin' on
Just say the word and we're gone
I'll be right where I belong
With you

[Chorus]

Oh, darlin'
I'm so in love with you
I'll keep on callin'
'Til you make my dream come true

I can just see us now
You and me paintin' the town
Forever just foolin' around
With you

Just you
Just you and me, baby
I wanna be with you
Just you, baby
I wanna be with just you
I wanna be
I wanna be
I wanna be with you, baby
I wanna be with you
Just you and me, baby

"Without You"

"Without You"


Every time I look into the mirror
I swear that I don't see the things you do
You say it couldn't be any clearer
And all I can see is me without you

[Chorus:]
Without you trying to change me
With you trying to take me
And turn me into someone you once knew
Without you trying to make me
Without you trying to break me
All I can see is me without you

When you slipped that little ring around my finger
You smiled and said your wilder days are through
Well, I've got a real bad case of rambling fever
And all I can see is me without you

[Chorus 2x]

All I can see is me without you

"Workin' On A Big Chill"

"Workin' On A Big Chill"



Here comes the weekend
Sure could use some relaxation to shake these blues
Fill up the cooler with a little good cheer
Hand me my sun shades
I'm checkin' out of here

I'm workin' on a big chill
Lord I'm workin' on a big chill

Hook up the camper, head for the lake
Sit on my tailbone, them fish can wait
Pick up my baby, she's going too
A little skinny dippin', Lord is good for you

I'm workin' on a big chill
I'm workin' on a big chill

Now we ain't leavin' till the suds are gone
Call everybody, there's a party going on
Come Monday morning it's back to the grind
Come on baby, let's have a good time

We'll be workin' on a big chill
We'll be workin' Lord on a big chill
We'll be workin' on a big chill
We'll be workin' baby on a big chill

"Worlds Apart"

"Worlds Apart"



There's nothing quite as lonely
As a sky that turns to gray
Or a love that just starts dyin'
And slowly fades away

You were my best companion
Now we lie silent in the dark
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart

There's nothing quite as empty
As when children go away
And all that's left are memories
Of all those yesterdays

You can't understand the feeling
'Til it finds its way to your heart
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart

There's nothing quite as ugly
As two people full of hate
We'll all end up as equals
When we stand at heaven's gate

Love is still the answer
It's the only place to start
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart

"You Ain't Foolin' Nobody"

"You Ain't Foolin' Nobody"


Why don't you come clean, baby
I know what you're goin' through
You must think I'm some kind of crazy
Well, honey I'm just worried 'bout you

You look so much like your mama
And I'm sorry for you that she's gone
And if she was here she sould tell ya
Don't lose sight of what's right or what's wrong

[Chorus:]
'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause baby, teh talk gets around
You ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town

Well, I hope your conscience is listening
When you're out runnin' at night
All it takes is one bad decision
To haunt you the rest of your life

[Chorus 2x]

 

[fox69]

"You And You Alone"

"You And You Alone"


If we have to wait forever that's all right
If you say let's run away we'll leave tonight
I'll do anything you ever ask me to
Girl the reason my heart's beating is for you
And you alone

There's a price you pay for every choice you make
We'll have our day no matter what it takes
I'll be there for you whatever we go through
Girl the reason life's worth living is for you
And you alone

[Chorus:]
Oh you and you alone are with me from now on
Even if I never see your face again
The love that you have shown is unlike anything I've known
We both know its just a matter of when

I wish that we could just turn back the hands of time
To find a way to have your world fit into mine
I'll keep dreaming that some day it all comes true
Girl the reason my heart's breaking is for you
And you alone
