"Why Do I Have To Choose"

"Why Do I Have To Choose"



Why do I have to choose to see everybody lose
To walk around and sing the blues well darling I refuse
Love is hard to find love of any kind
And a love like yours and mine creates it's own design
So why do I have to choose see everybody lose
To walk around and sing the blues well darling I refuse

And when I think of her and then I think of you
The love is not the same but either love is true
Why do I have to choose to see everybody lose
To walk around and sing the blues well darling I refuse

"Why Me"

"Why Me"


Why me Lord what I have ever done to deserve even one
Of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord what did I ever do that was worth loving you
Or the kindness you've shown
Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it so help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know that I've needed you so help me Jesus my soul's in your hand
[guitar]
Try me Lord if you think there's a way I can try to repay
All I've taken from you
Maybe Lord I can show someone else what I've been through myself
On my way back to you
Lord help me Jesus...
Jesus my soul's in your hand

"Will The Circle Be Unbroken"

"Will The Circle Be Unbroken"



I was standing by my window,
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

I said to that undertaker
undertaker please drive slow
for this lady you are carrying
Lord, I hate to see here go

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

Oh, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

I went back home, my home was lonesome
missed my mother, she was gone
all of my brothers, sisters crying
what a home so sad and lone

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

We sang the songs of childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones that Mother Maybelle taught us
Hear the angels sing along

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

"Will You Remember Mine"

"Will You Remember Mine"



Sweet is the song when the song is love love that has stood the test of time
And when you've heard all the songs of love will you remember mine
Gone are the times that I walked with you and held your hand in mine
Now when you hold another's hand will you remember mine
I have sat 'neath the trees while the cool summer breeze
Blew away the sands of time
And thought of days when you were near remembering when you were mine
Gone are the times when I held you close and pressed your lips to mine
Now when you kiss another's lips will you remember mine
I have sat neath the trees...

"Will You Remember Mine"
(with Lily Meola)



Sweet is the song, when the song is love, love that has stood the test of time
And when you've heard all the songs of love, will you remember mine

Gone are the times, when I held you close, and pressed your lips to mine
And now when you kiss another's lips will you remember mine

I have sat 'neath the trees, while the cool summer breeze, blew away the sands of time
And thought of days, when you were near, remembering, when you were mine

Gone are the times that I walked with you and held your hand in mine
And now when you hold another's hand will you remember mine

Gone are the times that I walked with you and held your hand in mine
Now when you hold another's hand will you remember mine
Now when you hold another's hand will you remember mine

"Wind Beneath My Wings"

"Wind Beneath My Wings"



It must have been cold there in my shadow to never have sunlight on your face
You've been content to let me shine you always walked a step behind
I was the one with all the glory while you were the one with all the strength
Only a face without a name I never once heard you complain
Did you ever know that you're my hero and everything I'd like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle but you are the wind beneath my wings

It might have appeared to go unnoticed I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth I would be nothing without you I miss everything about you
Did you ever know...
You are the wind beneath my wings

"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 bluebird,
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,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Walking in a winter wonderland,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

"Wise Old Me"

"Wise Old Me"


One day I got the notion
To teach a fish to fly
So I went down to the ocean
When the tide was plenty high
Found a fish, we talked
And I pointed to the sky
But he didn't even try
No, he didn't even try

[Chorus:]
No one listens to wise old me
And I know hot things ought to be
I ain't blind but sure don't see
Why no one listens to wise old me

One day I said to me
Let's teach a bird to swim
So I climbed way up a tree
And I went out on a limb

Found a bird, we talked
And I pointed to the sea
And that bird just sang to me
That bird just sang to me

As sure as clouds live in the sky
There's a place for you and I
If you don't learn to let things be
You'll find your wise self up a tree

Now, please do not be frightened
By the things that sound absurd
As how man can be enlightened
By the wisdom of a bird
And so can you, so let it be
A lesson for today
And may I never hear you say
May I never hear you say

[Chorus]

No one listens to wise old me

"Within Your Crowd"

"Within Your Crowd"


Do you remember how they warned you once before
They made it clear you weren't to see me anymore
Within your world of riches poor boys aren't allowed
And you must learn to love someone within your crowd
And though I love you more than I could ever say
The danger's much too great and you can't stay
You could never stand dishonor you're too proud
So you must learn to love someone within your crowd
[steel]
Someday you'll find someone deserving of your love
Someone to kiss the lips that I'm not worthy of
And when I see you passing by I'll feel so proud
Although I stand outside my heart's within your crowd

"Without A Song"

"Without A Song"



Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never bend
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song!

That field of corn, would never see a plough
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A young one's born, but he's no good no how
Without a song!

I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know
The Jordan will roll (Roll you river Jordan!)
I'll get along as long as a song is strung
In my soul!

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!

(I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know the Jordan will roll,
I'll get along as long as a song is strung in my soul!)
In my soul!

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!
