For The Good Times
03:14
|

Don't look so sad, I know it's over,
But life goes on and this ol' world will keep on turning.
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together,
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.
Lay your head upon my pillow,
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine,
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times...
I'll get along, you'll find another,
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me,
Don't say a word about tomorrow, or forever,
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me...
Lay your head upon my pillow,
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine,
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times...
For the good times...

And I Love You
03:45

And I love you so,
The people ask me how,
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes I know how lonely life can be
Shadows follow me
The night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
Once the page is read
All but love is dead
This is my believe

I've had my share of life's up and downs
But fate's been kind the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I've been lucky
Oh I guess you could say it's all because of you
And if anyone should ever write my life story
Oh whatever reason there might be
You'll be there between each line of pain and glory
Cause you're the best thing that's ever happened to me
You're the best thing that ever happened to me
Lord there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it through
Cause for every moment I've spent hurting
There was a moment I've spent loving you

If I promise you to straighten up and put my life in order
If I swear to you woman on bended knees I won't hurt you again
If I become the kind of man that you want me to be
Would you take another chance on me
The good Lord knows I've done you wrong I've asked him to forgive me
Deep inside I think you would darlin' if you could do the same
If I could take back all the things that caused you misery
Would you take another chance on me
Would you take another chance on me I've paid for my mistakes
Would you take another chance on me or have I changed too late
Mhm I've been a fool woman for hurting you but can't you see I'm sorry
If only you were mine again I'd make it up to you
But my past keeps blindin' you if you could only see
Would you take another chance on me (think about that darling)

Last night, quietly, she walked through my mind
As I lay searching for sleep.
Her soft hand reached out, she whispered my name
As she brushed a tear from my cheek.
And then those funny familiar forgotten feelings
started walkin' all over my mind.
It's sad, so sad to watch love go bad,
but a true love would not have gone wrong.
I'm just thankful for the good times we've had
for without them I could not go on,
With all these funny familiar forgotten feelings
walkin' all over my mind.
I must go on, be strong,
tho' a million teardrops may fall,
Before these funny familiar forgotten feelings
stop walk' all over my mind.

The boat rides we would take
The moonlight on the lake
The way we danced and hummed our favorite song
The things we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long
The midway and the fun
The kewpie doll we won
The bell I rang to prove that I was strong
The things we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long
The early morning hike
The rented tandem bike
The lunches that we used to pack
We never could explain that sudden summer rain
The looks we got when we got back
The leaves begin to fade like promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go wrong
That things we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long
(The early morning hike

The leaves begin to fade like promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go so wrong
That things that we did last summer

For Ol' Times Sake
03:45
|
|||
Before you go, walk out on me
Take a look around, tell me what you see
Here I stand like an open book
Is there something here, you might have overlooked
'Cause it would be a shame if you should leave
And find that freedom ain't what you thought it would be
The years we had were not all bad
In fact I know the good outweighed the bad
Now you say that you've grown tired
You want to be by yourself a-while
It would be a shame if you should go
And find that freedom was a long time ago
I know that you can't stand the chains that bind you
They just keep on drivin' us apart
And you could go where I could never find you
But could you go far enough to get away from your heart
So one more time, for ol' times sake
Come and lay your head upon my chest
Please don't throw this moment away
We can forget the bad and take the best
If you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake
And if you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake

When There's No You
03:00
|
|||
I walk along an empty street
And night becomes another dawn
It's only heartaches that I meet
And tears that tell me you have gone from me
Is it hard to see that
My heart is breaking
It was yours for the taking
You said we're through
What can I do
When there's no you?
This kind of loneliness I found
Has taken over in my mind
And it will always be around
For love like ours I'll never find, I know
Did you have to go
'Cause my heart is breaking
It was yours for the taking
You said we're through
What can I do
When there's no you?
My heart is breaking
It was yours for the taking
You said we're through
What can I do
When there's no you?

A Minute Of Your Time
03:03
|
|||
For you to think of me
It would only take a minute of your time
To spare one thought for me
Would you miss just one minute of your time?
When you are far away
I'd like to be part of your time each day
So think of me
A minute of your time
Is all it takes to bring us close
When we are far apart
And if I'm on your mind
I know that there's a chance
You'll find that I'm there in your heart
One minute ev'ry day
May help to keep the wolf away
Until that moment you are back to stay
But better still I'd like to think of me
Ev'ry minute of your time

Stranger In The Crowd
03:57
|
|||
I've been standing on a corner
Since a quarter after seven
I was down to my last cigarette
And the clock in the window
At a quarter to eleven
I was watching all the people
Passing by me going places
Just the loneliest guy in the town
Looking for a friendly smile
But all I see were faces
And then, just like the taste of milk and honey
I found the stranger I've been looking for
Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be stranger no more
The love that comes on the corner
At a quarter to eleven
I thought you were to good to be true
All my life I had believed
That angels only live in heaven
But now, we share the taste of milk and honey
Each day is sweeter than the day before
My cup runned overflowing
because the stranger in the crowd
And I would be stranger no more
Deep inside, my cup of love was overflowing
I found the stranger I've been looking for
Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be stranger no more

Only Once
04:13
|

When I was very young and life was new
My world was always full of dreams
Growing old was far away
Though tomorrow's yesterday
Nothing is the way it seems
I knew that one day I would fall in love
The way young people always do
How could I know what lay ahead
Life played games with me instead
Didn't count on meeting you
Only once, I always thought that love came only once
That when you fell, you fell in love to stay
Then all at once I realized it isn't so
That love can come and love can go
It happens every day
She was mine
With her I found a world that wouldn't end
Or so I thought right up until today
Now all at once
I looked across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew
Nothing I could do would make me look away
Now all at once
I looked across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew
Nothing I could do would make me look away
Now all at once
I looked across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew
Nothing I could do would make me look away

If the one you think is true
Ever turns his back on you
You've still got a place in my heart
If the years should make you cry
Don't go on and live a lie
You've still got a place in my heart
If I'm a fool to pray
That you come back someday
Then I'll know a million fools that love has made that way
And if every road you take
Proves you made a mistake
Then you've still got a place in my heart
