Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness Ease my troubles, that's what you do. For the morning sun and all its glory Greets the day with hope and comfort too You fill my life with laughter, somehow make it better Ease my troubles that's what you do. There's a love divine And it's yours and it's mine Like the sun, and at the end of the day We should give thanks and pray. To the one, oh, to the one... |

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss A sigh is just a sigh The fundamental things apply As time goes by And when two lover's woe They still say I love you And that you can rely No matter what the future brings As time go by Moonlight and love songs Never out of date Hearts full of passion Jealousy and hate Woman meets man And man must have his mate That no one can deny It's still the same old story A fight for love and glory A case of do or die The world will always welcome lovers As time goes by |

While she lays sleeping, I stay out late at night and play my songs
And sometimes all the nights can be so long And it's good when I finally make it home, all alone While she lays dreaming, I try to get undressed without the light And quietly she says how was your night? And I come to her and say, it was all right, and I hold her tight And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world With my little songs, I was wrong But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right I will find a way, find a way... While she lays waiting, I stumble to the kitchen for a bite Then I see my old guitar in the night Just waiting for me like a secret friend, and there's no end While she lays crying, I fumble with a melody or two And I'm torn between the things that I should do And she says to wake her up when I am through, God her love is true... And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world With my little songs, I was wrong But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right I will find a way, while she waits... while she waits for me for me! |

All my life was a paper once plain, pure and white
Till you moved with your pen changing moods now and then Till the balance was right Then you added some music, every note was in place And anybody could see all the changes in me by the look on my face And you decorated my life, created a world where dreams are a part And you decorated my life by painting your love all over my heart You decorated my life Like a rhyme with no reason in an unfinished song There was no harmony life meant nothin' to me, until you came along And you brought out the colors, what a gentle surprise Now I'm able to see all the things life can be shining soft in your eyes And you decorated my life, created a world where dreams are a part And you decorated my life by painting your love all over my heart You decorated my life |

Reuben James, in my song you live again
And the phrases that I rhyme are just a footstep out of time From the time when I knew you, Reuben James Reuben James, all the folks around Hadison County Cussed your name You're just a no-count, sharecropping colored man You'd steal anything you can And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James For a grave, the gossiper of Hadison County died with chid Although your skin was black You were the one that didn't turn your back On the hungry white child with no name, Reuben James Reuben James, with your mind on the soul And a bottle in your right hand You said turn the other cheek For there's a better world awaiting for the meek In my mind, these words remain from Reuben James Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James Reuben James, one dark cloudy day They brought you from the field And to your lonely pine box Came just a preacher, me and the rain Just to sing one last refrain to Reuben James Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James |

(Frank J. Myers/Gary Baker)
I see the questions in your eyes I know what's weighing on your mind You can be sure I know my heart And I'll stand beside you through the years You'll only cry those happy tears. And though I will make mistakes I'll never break your heart And I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky I'll be there (I'll be there.) I swear, like a shadow that's by your side I'll be there (I'll be there) For better or worse, till death do us part I'll love you with every beat of my heart, and I swear I'll give you every thing I can I'll build your dreams with these two hands We'll hang some memories on the walls And when there's silver in your hair You won't have to ask if I still care. 'Cause as the time turns the page My love won't age at all And I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky I'll be there I swear, like a shadow that's by your side I'll be there For better or worse, till death do us part I'll love you with every beat of my heart. and I swear For better or worse, till death do us part I'll love you with every beat of my hear, and I swear I swear, like a shadow that's by your side I'll be there For better or worse, till death do us part I'll love you with every beat of my heart, and I swear I swear, like a shadow that's by your side I'll be there For better or worse, till death do us part I'll love you with every beat of my heart, and I swear...... |

And I will always love you Bittersweet memories, That is all I am taking with me So goodbye, please don't you cry 'Cause we both know I'm not what you need And I will always love you.

I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you I swear we've been through everything there is Can't imagine anything we've missed Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do Through the years, you've never let me down You turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found I've found with you ... through the years I've never been afraid, I've loved the life we've made And I'm so glad I've stayed, right here with you Through the years I can't remember what I used to do Who I trusted, whom I listened to before I swear you've taught me everything I know Can't imagine needing someone so But through the years it seems to me I need you more and more Through the years, through all the good and bad I knew how much we had, I've always been so glad To be with you ... through the years It's better every day, you've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you Through the years Through the years, when everything went wrong Together we were strong, I know that I belonged Right here with you ... through the years I never had a doubt, we'd always work things out I've learned what love's about, by loving you Through the years Through the years, you've never let me down You've turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found I've found with you ... through the years It's better everyday, you've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you Through the years! |

Lady...
I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you. You have made me what I am and I am yours. My love... There's so many ways I want to say, "I love you." Let me hold you in my arms forever more.

Somewhere my love there will be songs to sing
Although the snow covers the hope of spring Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold And there are dreams all that your heart can hold. Someday, we'll meet again, my love Someday, whenever the spring breaks through You'll come to me out of the long ago Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow. 'Til then my sweet think of me now and then God speed my love 'Til you are mine again... |

So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song So many dream I kept deep inside me Alone in the dark but now you've come along You light up my life You give me hope to carry on You light up my days And fill my nights with song Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water Could it be finally I'm turning for home? Finally, a chance to say hey, I love you Never again to be all alone You light up my life You give me hope to carry on You light up my days And fill my nights with song Oh you light up my life You give me hope to carry on You light up my days And fill my nights with song It can't be wrong When it feels so right 'Cause you, you light up my life..... |

She Even Woke Me Up To Say Goodbye
Well the morning's come and Lord my mind is aching The sunshine's quietly standing at my door Just like the dawn my heart is silently breaking With my tears it goes tumbling to the floor. Once again the whole town will be talking It's more I've seen the pity in their eyes they could never understand it's her sorrow not a man no matter what they say I know she tried Baby's packed her soft things and oh she's left me I know she never meant to make me cry It's not her heart Lord it's her mind she didn't mean to be unkind Why she even woke me up to say goodbye. |
