If not for you, babe I couldn't even find the door I couldn't even see the floor I'd be sad and blue, if not for you If not for you, babe, the night would see me wide awake The day would surely have to break It would not be new, if not for you Chorus: If not for you, my sky would fall, rain would gather too Without your love I'd be nowhere at all, I'd be lost, if not for you If not for you, the Winter would hold no Spring Couldn't hear a Robin sing I just wouldn't have a clue, if not for you (Solo) (chorus) If not for you, the Winter would hold no Spring You couldn't hear a robin sing I just wouldn't have a clue, if not for you If not for you |

I asked my love
to take a walk To take a walk just a little walk Dawn beside where the water flow Down by the bank of the Ohio And only say that you'll be mine In no other's arms entwine Down beside where the water flow Down by the bank of the Ohio I held knife againist his breast As into my arms he pressed He cried My love don't you murder me I'm not prepared for eternity And only say that you'll be mine In no other's arms entwine Down beside where the water flow Down by the bank of the Ohio I wandered home tween twelve and one I cried My god what have I done I've killed the only woman I love He would not take me for his bride And only say that you'll be mine In no other's arms entwine Down beside where the water flow Down by the bank of the Ohio Down by the bank of the Ohio |

No one can take your place with me
And time has proven that I'm right There's no place I'd rather be Than at your place for the night No time can pass your sight unseen No moment steals away unfound Lifetime lived in such a dream Floats like a feather to the ground And for the first time I've been seeing The things I've never noticed without you And for the first time I'm discovering The things I used to treasure about you Birds like leaves on winterwood Sing hopeful songs on dismal days They've learned to live life as they should They are at peace with nature's ways You are as natural as the night And all that springs from you is good And the children born beneath your light Are like the birds on winterwood And for the first time I've been seeing The things I've never noticed without you And for the first time I'm discovering The things I used to treasure about you |

Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah River. Life is old there, Older than the trees, Younger than the mountains browin' like a breeze. Country roads, take me home To the place I belong: West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, country roads. All my memories gather round her, Miner's lady, stranger to blue water. Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, Misty taste of moonshine, Teardrop in my eye. Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, country roads. I hear her voice, in the morning how she calls me, Radio reminds me of my home far away And drivin'down the road I get a feelin' I should been home yesterday, yesterday Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, country roads. Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, country roads. Take me home, country roads. |

Strands of light on our bedroom floor
Change the night through an open door I'm awake, but this is not my home For the first time, I'm not alone Reaching out, I touch another's skin Breathing out, as he's breathing in Deep inside, I feel my soul aflame Can my life ever be the same? I should have told him That I'd do anything if I could hold him For just another day, for just another day His love is something I will not forget When I am far away, when I am far away I feel the rainfall of another planet, another planet Close together in the afterglow I remember how his loving flowed Turned the key into another world Made a woman of a simple girl Daylight comes as we both know, it must Soon my fantasy will turn to dust But I would give him anything he asked If my first love could be my last I should have told him That I'd do anything if I could hold him For just another day, for just another day His love is something I will not regret When I am far away, when I am far away I feel the rainfall of another planet, another planet |

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should We both know I got somewhere else to go But I got something to tell you That I never thought I would But I believe you really ought to know I love you I honestly love you You don′t have to answer I see it in your eyes Maybe it was better left unsaid This is pure and simple And you should realize That it′s coming from my heart and not my head I love you I honestly love you I′m not trying to make you feel uncomfortable I′m not trying to make you anything at all But this feeling doesn′t come along everyday And you shouldn′t blow the chance When you′ve got the chance to say I love you I honestly love you If we both were born In anoother place and time This moment might be ending in a kiss But there you are with yours And here I am with mine So I guess we′ll just be leaving it at this I love you I honestly love you I |

If You Love Me (Let Me Know)
(J. Rostill) You came when I was happy in your sunshine I grew to love you more each passing day Before too long I built my world around you And I prayed you'd love enough of me to stay If you love me let me know If you don't then let me go I can't take another minute Of a day without you in it If you love me let it be If you don't then set me free Take the chains away That keep me loving you The arms that open wide to hold me closer The hands that run their fingers through my hair The smile that says "hello, it's good to see you" Anytime I turn around to find you there It's this and so much more tht make me love you What else can I do to make you see You know you have whatever's mine to give you But a love affair for one can never be If you love me let me know If you don't then let me go I can't take another minute Of a day without you in it If you love me let it be If you don't then set me free Take the chains away That keep me loving you Take the chains away That keep me loving you Loving you |

What I feel I can't say But my love is there for you any time of day But if it's not love that you need Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed And tell me what is my life without your love? And tell me who am I without you by my side? What I know I can do If I give my love to everyone like you But if it's not love that you need Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed And tell me what is my life without your love? And tell me who am I without you by my side? What I feel I can't say But my love is there for you any old time of day But if it's not love that you need Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed And tell me what is my life without your love? And tell me who am I without you by my side? And tell me what is my life without your love? And tell me who am I without you by my side? And tell me what is my life without your love? And tell me who am I without you by my side? |

When I see you on the street
I lose my concentration And just the thought that we might meet Creates anticipation Won't you look my way once before you go And my eyes will say what you ought to know Well, I've been thinking about you day and night And I don't know if it will work out right But somehow I think that it just might If we try Faces come and faces go in circular rotation But something yearns within to grow Beyond infatuation Won't you look my way once before you go And my eyes will say what you ought to know Well, you got me standing deaf and blind 'Cause I see love as just a state of mind And who knows what it is that we might find If we try You're walking a different direction From most people I've met You're giving me signs of affection I don't usually get I don't want you to pledge your future The future's not yours to give Just stand there a little longer And let me watch while you live 'Cause when I see you on the street I lose my concentration And just the thought that we might meet Creates anticipation Won't you look my way once before you go And my eyes will say what you ought to know Well, I've been thinking about you day and night And I don't know if it will work out right But somehow I think that it just might If we try Somehow I think that it just might If we try Yes,somehow I think that it just might If we try |

Music makes my day
It warms an empty place when you're away Music makes my day Love you are my song Your melody's so soft Your love so strong Love you are my song And though good fortune seems a long time calling The sadness creeps into my song My pearly friend will gently soothe me And sing along Music makes my day It seems my waiting hours just fly away Music makes my day If I lost my friend His loving words no more My song would end If I lost my friend And though good fortune seems a long time calling The sadness creeps into my song My pearly friend will gently soothe me And sing along Music makes my day It warms an empty place when you're away Music makes my day You know it makes it |

Butterflied in Maton Rouge, headin' for the train
Feelin' nearly faded at Marquee's Bobby found the diesel down, just before it rained Took us all the way to New Orleans I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues With that windshield wiper slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands We finally sang up every song that driver knew Chorus: Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free Feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues Buddy, that was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Standin' right beside me, through everything I've done And every night he kept me from the cold Then somewhere near Salinas, I let him slip away Lookin' for the home I hope he'll find And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose And nothin' left is all he left for me Ah, feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues Buddy, that was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee, good enough for me and my Bobby McGee I let him slip away, lookin' for that home I hope he'll find Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee, good enough for me and my Bobby McGee Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee...

If a picture paints a thousand words Then why can't I paint you The words will never show The you I've come to know If a face could launch a thousand ships Then where am I to go There's no one home but you You're all that's left me too And when my love for life is running dry You'll come and pour yourself on me If a girl could be two places at one time I'd be with you Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way If the world should stop revolving Spinning slowly down to die I'd spend the end with you And when the world was through Then one by one the stars would all go out Then you and I would simply fly away |

(Manuel)
Once I walked through the halls of a station Someone called your name In the street I heard children laughing They all sound the same One day could you ever know me Know the reason why I live Is there nothin you can show me Life seems so little to give Once I climbed up the face of a mountain And ate the wild fruit there Fell asleep until the moonlight woke me And I could taste your hair Isn't everybody dreaming And the voice I hear is real Out of all the idle scheming Can't we have something to feel Once upon a time leaves me empty Tomorrow never came I could sing the sound of your laughter Still I don't know you name Must be some way to repay you Out of all the good you gave If a rumor should delay you Love seems so little to save |

The words I have to say May well be simple but they're true Until you give your love There's nothing more that we can do Love is the opening door Love is what we came here for No one could offer you more Do you know what I mean? Have your eyes really seen? You say it's very hard To leave behind the life we knew But there's no other way And now it's really up to you Love is the key we must turn Truth is the flame we must burn Freedom the lesson we must learn Do you know what I mean? Have your eyes really seen? Love is the key we must turn Truth is the flame we must burn Freedom the lesson we must learn Do you know what I mean? Have your eyes really seen? Do you know what I mean? Have your eyes really seen? |

Take the ribbon from my hair Shake it loose and let it fall Lay it soft against your skin Like the shadows on the wall Come and lay down by my side Till the early morning light All I'm takin' is your time Help me make it through the night I don't care who's right or wrong I don't try to understand Let the devil take tomorrow Lord, tonight I need a friend Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight And it's sad to be alone Help me make it through the night And it's sad to be alone Help me make it through the night I don't wanna be alone Help me make it through the night |

I hold your hand and gently touch your hair
Then we'll walk together hand in hand The way it used to be The way you smile and kiss me tenderly Tears begin to fill my misty eyes Now you are gone from me Where are you going to, my love Will you come back when the sun shines Anytime you want to come home It's all right Where are you going to, my love Will our love return tomorrow Anytime you want to call me It's all right I hear your voice It's always haunting me Everywhere I turn I see you face But you're never there You're all I have, You're all I'm living for I can't bear the pain and misery Please come back to me Where are you going to, my love Will you come back when the sun shines Anytime you want to come home It's all right Where are you going to, my love Will our love return tomorrow Anytime you want to call me It's all right |

I give you stars and sunshine
A rainbow at your feet each time you rise So dry your eyes The house of yesterday is crumblin' at my feet But I don't mind, I had my time I am but yesterday And you my child, tomorrow There's nothing I can give you For you have more than me You are the truth within your youth I watch you dance and playing The little prince of all that you survey Each night, each day I am the good old days, And you my child, tomorrow If I have any future It is within your eyes Each time you smile My child, my child The hand of life will rock you I brought you forth And then my task was through I give to you This wondrous view I am but yesterday And you my child, tomorrow And you my child, tomorrow And you my child, tomorrow |

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old-time movie About a ghost from a wishing well In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet You know that ghost is me And I will never be set free as long as I'm a ghost that you can't see If I could read your mind, love What a tale your thoughts could tell Just like a paperback novel The kind that drugstores sell When you reach the part Where the heartaches come The hero would be me The hero often fails And you won't read that book again Because the ending's just too hard to take I'll walk away like a movie star Who gets burned in a three-way script Enter number two A movie queen to play the scene Are bringing all the good things out in me But for now love, let's be real I never thought I could act this way And I've got to say, I just don't get it I don't know where we went wrong But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back |

They could never take you away from me
Oh baby, never replace the tenderness of your smile I couldn't leave now if I wanted to Everything I do I want to do with you Oh no, baby If I gotta leave I want to leave with you They could offer me the world and all its gold Oh baby, put me on a ship that's sailing out to sea Set me down on a lonely track But I'd find a way to come running back Oh no, baby If I gotta leave I want to leave with you They may try to find a way to deep us from each other Try to find a way to keep us far apart But there's nowhere in the world they could send me to To keep my love away from you Oh no, baby If I gotta leave I want to leave with you I really want to leave with you I really want to leave with you |

I know your leaving's too long overdue
For far too long I've had nothing new to show to you Goodbye dry eyes I watched your plane fade off west of the moon And it felt so strange to walk away alone No regrets No tears goodbye Don't want you back We'd only cry again Say goodbye again The hours that were yours Echo like empty rooms The thoughts we used to share I now keep alone I woke last night and spoke to you Not thinking you were gone It felt so strange to lie awake alone No regrets No tears goodbye Don't want you back We'd only cry again Say goodbye again Our friends have tried To turn my nights into day Strange faces in your place Can't keep the ghosts away Just beyond the darkest hour Just behind the door It still feels so strange to lead my life alone Oh no regrets No tears goodbye Don't want you back We'd only cry again Say goodbye again |

There'll be no strings to bind your hands Not if my love can find your heart And there's no need to take a stand For it was I who chose to start I see no need to take me home I'm old enough to face the dawn Just call me angel of the morning, angel Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby Just call me angel of the morning, angel Then slowly turn away from me Maybe the sun's light will be dim It won't matter anyhow If morning's echo says we've sinned Well, it was what I wanted now And if we're victims of the night I won't be blinded by the light Just call me angel of the morning, angel Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby Just call me angel of the morning, angel Then slowly turn away from me I won't beg you to stay with me Through the tears of the day Of the years, baby Just call me angel of the morning, angel Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby Just call me angel of the morning, angel Then slowly turn away from me Oh baby, I love you baby, oh baby |

Sometimes I think I love you
Just a little too much You know you thrill me baby With you magic touch That's why I want you honey And I love you like I do I'm gonna scream and shout it There ain't no doubt about it That's why I love you like I do Sometimes I think you kiss me Just a little too much You drive me crazy baby, With your magic touch You make me feel so good When the moon is shining bright With our lips together And you're squeezin' me so tight Now, I went steady once before Thought I loved the boy next door He stepped out on me, you see He couldn't be true Now, I got over all my dreams Time went by so fast it seems Now I know I'll never get over you Well, all right, all right Sometimes I think I love you Just a little too much You know you thrill me baby With you magic touch That's why I want you honey And I love you like I do I'm gonna scream and shout it There ain't no doubt about it That's why I love you like I do That's why I love you like I do |

If we only have love
Then tomorrow will dawn And the days of our years Will rise on that morn If we only have love To embrace without fears We will kiss with our eyes We will sleep without tears If we only have love With our arms open wide Then the young and the old Will stand at our side If we only have love Love that's falling like rain Then the parched desert earth Will grow green again If we only have love For the Him that we shout For the song that we sing Then we'll have a way out I we only have love Then Jerusalem Stands And then death has no shadow There are no foreign lands If we only have love We will never bow down We'll be tall as the pines Neither heroes nor clowns If we only have love To be shared with all men We will drink from the grail To be born once again Then with nothing at all But the little we are We'll have conquered all time, All space, the sun and the stars. |

We said a million times we'd change
Can't bring myself to say those words again A piper never changes tune You can't grow apples on the moon The hurtful things we say still penetrate And whispered sorrys always come too late Then the damage has been done What are we going to tell our son? I want to spare his broken heart Break it gently that we'll live apart Don't know the proper words to say He won't be seeing daddy every day Those weekly outings never work, you know Buying gifts and candy, picture shows They can't replace the man around Your voice, your touch, your manly sound I guess the trouble is I love you still And if it comes to that, I always will No, please don't cry, it's just too late Now hurry on, she's waiting at the gate |

The stairs are dark and silent
The morning cold and gray A last look at the things I knew And slowly turn away And as I watch the scenery unwind My childhood slips a hundred miles behind Leave the bus in Houston Walk around the town But all the strange, unfriendly faces Seem to get me down And in the park where little children play I sit and watch the dying of the day I'm a small and lonely light A bird that's lost in flight And it's too late at night to go home I'm a tall and weary kite A face that's out of sight And it's too late at night to go home Always had the good life Never felt unsure But now the good life's not enough There must be something more And so I sit and shiver in the dawn And watch the world and wait to be reborn I'm a small and lonely light A bird that's lost in flight And it's too late at night to go home I'm a tall and weary kite A face that's out of sight And it's too late at night to go home Too late at night to go home But I've talked too long my friend |

And make believe that you are just a girl again Go to sleep tonight, dream of days When you had something there to light the way Remember a holiday in a north of England town You slept in a room upstairs on a bed of eiderdown Mary Skeffington, when you wake You mustn't be afraid to face another day Think of what you had, you'll get by You've always been a lady, hold your head up high Look back on your home where you spent the best years of your life Remember the man who asked you if you would be his wife |

Your pain is now through Please, forget those teardrops Let me take them from you The love you are blessed with This world's waiting for So let out your heart, please, please From behind that locked door It's time we start smiling What else should we do With only this short time I know to be here with you And the tales you have taught me From the things that you saw Makes me want out your heart, please, please From behind that locked door And wherever my love goes If I'm rich or I'm poor Please let out my heart, please, please From behind that locked door From behind that locked door |

You sheltered me from harm, kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me, set me free, set me free The finest years I ever knew, were all the years I had with you Chorus: I would give anything I own, give up my life, my heart, my home I would give anything I own, just to have you back again You taught me how to laugh, what it solved, what it solved You never said too much, but still you showed the way And I knew from watching you Nobody else could ever know, the part of me that can't let go (chorus) Is there someone you know, you're loving them so But taking them all for granted You may lose them one day, someone takes them away And they don't hear the words you long to say (chorus) Just to touch you once again |

It's not funny when you're lonely
It's much better when you're living in harmony With someone you're really digging And you want to give it all that you've got Don't wanna make you cry Don't wanna tell you lies Don't wanna bring you down Or treat you unkind Just wanna make you mine And hear you laugh all the time Don't wanna break this tie I'm telling you why It's not funny when you're lonely It's much better when you're living in harmony With someone you're really digging And you want to give it all that you've got Now things were bad before So I walked out the door I guess I soon found out What life's all about But now I'm here to stay Can't see me wandering away Don't wanna break this tie I'm telling you why You can take a little loving But if you're not giving It'll never be worthwhile You can take a little loving But if you're not giving It'll never work out fine Play it to me, John But now I'm here to stay Can't see me wandering away Don't wanna break this tie I'm telling you why It's not funny when you're lonely It's much better when you're living in harmony |

I can count the teardrops hidden from your eyes I can hear the sadness that your smile belies Thought I heard a whisper Did it come from you If you say you're ready I am ready too I will touch you deep inside where love is I will touch your sorrow and make it go away I can hear the questions running through your mind I can feel the answers very close behind When your heart is ready You will understand When you're tired of crying You will take my hand I will touch you deep inside where love is I will touch your sorrow and make it go away |
