"I Missed Me"



Last night was the worst night of my life no doubt
'Cause while I stayed at home someone else took you out
I cried 'cause I love you with all of my might
And I missed me, how I missed me at your house last night.

I missed holding hands walking out on your lawn
I missed the sweet kiss that was mine for so long
Were you happy with new arms
Wrapped around you so tight
I missed me, how I missed me at your house last night.

Did the neighbours say they noticed anything strange
Like a different car parked in your drive for a change
Did they watch as he kissed you beneath the porch light
Did they miss me like I missed me at your house last night.

I missed holding hands walking out on your lawn
I missed the sweet kiss that was mine for so long
Were you happy with new arms
Wrapped around you so tight
I missed me, how I missed me at your house last night...

"I Never Pass There Anymore"



There's a house just down the street
A welcome mat outside the door
But it's for him and not for me
I never pass there anymore.

Within this house there is a girl
I'll always adore
But I've been vanished from her world
I never pass there anymore.

Within this girl there is a heart
And in this part there is a love
But it's a love for someone else
I'm not the one she's dreaming of.

Yes, there's a house just down the street
I've been there many times before
But now it's best we never meet
I never pass there anymore.

Within this girl there is a heart
And in this part there is a love
But it's a love for someone else
I'm not the one she's dreaming of.

Yes, there's a house just down the street
I've been there many times before
But now it's best we never meet
I never pass there anymore...

"I Was Just Walkin' Out The Door"



I was just walkin' out the door
It's too bad you didn't come before
I waited so long, so long, so long
Now there's no time to wait anymore.

How I cried for you day and night
And for the letters that you didn't write
But now it's alright, alright, alright
You won't have to write anymore.

Not so long ago, you will never know
What this day to me could have been
But it's all changed now darling
Anyhow it was nice to see you again.

Well, it's almost a quarter to four
Sorry, I can't stay anymore
Must be on my way, this is my wedding day
And I was just walkin' out the door.
I was just walkin' out the door...

"I Won't Come In While He's There"



Thought I'd stop by awhile and see you
Just once more before I leave town
But his car's parked there in your driveway
And I see the curtain's pulled down.

I won't bother to ring your doorbell
I'm not sure just how much I can bear
I might do something I'd be sorry for later
So I won't come in while he's there.

Does he know my whole world is in there with him
That he's king while he sits there in my chair
I'd like to tell you just how much I still love you
But I won't come in while he's there.

No, I won't come in while he's there...

"I Won't Forget You"



I won't forget you.

I know that I won't forget you
For I've loved you too much for too long
Though you don't want me now
I'll still love you
'til the breath in my body has gone

That's how it is with me
And you'll always be
The only love I ever knew
I'll forget many things in my life time
But my darling I won't forget you

That's how it is with me
And you'll always be
The only love I ever knew
I'll forget many things in my life time
But my darling I won't forget you.

"I'd Fight The World"


I don't care what anybody thinks of me
My pride is gone and here I am on bended knee
I want you and I need you that's all I know
And I'd fight the world before I'd ever let you go.

I'd gladly beg, I'd steal or I'd borrow
I'd turn my back on everyone I know
I'd do these things with no fear of tomorrow
I'd fight the world before I'd ever let you go.

I want you and I need you that's all I know
And I'd fight the world before I'd ever let you go.

I'd gladly beg, I'd steal or I'd borrow
I'd turn my back on everyone I know
I'd do these things with no fear of tomorrow
Ask anything but tell me you won't go.

Yes, I'd fight the world before I'd ever let you go...

"I'd Rather Have Jesus"
(originally by George Beverly Shea)



I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold,
I'd rather be His than have riches untold;
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land,
Yes, I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand.

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

I'd rather have Jesus than worldly applause,
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame,
I'd rather be true to His holy name.

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today...

"I'll Fly Away"



Some glad morning when this life is o'er
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh Glory I'll fly away when I die
Hallelujah by and by I'll fly away

When the shadows of this life have flown
I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh Glory I'll fly away when I die
Hallelujah by and by I'll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh Glory yes I'll fly away when I die
Hallelujah by and by I'll fly away

"I'm A Fool To Care"



I'm a fool to care
When you treat me this way
I know I love you
But what can I do
I'm a fool to care.

I'm a fool to cry
When you tell me goodbye
You left me so blue
When you were untrue
I'm a fool to care.

I know I should laugh
And call it a day
But I know I would cry
If you go away.

I'm a fool to care
When you don't care for me
Why should I pretend
I'd lose in the end
I'm a fool to care.

I'm a fool to care
When you don't care for me
Why should I pretend
I'd lose in the end
I'm a fool to care...

"I'm Crying Again"



Ja ek verlang na jou my liefling
En ek droom van jou oe so blou
Ja ek dink net aan jou my liefling
En my hart is'n mantel van rou.

I gaze at the stars
With a prayer in my heart
I ask for bitter strength
Just to hate and depart.

Ja kom nou terug na my my liefling
Ek verlang na my liefling vanaand.

Toe jy my verlaat het
Is my wereld verskeur
Die son het ophou skyn
En die maan het verkleur.

So please come back to me my darling
can't you see that I'm crying again...

"I'm Getting Better"



I walked by the river
Where we said goodbye,
Thought of your kisses,
And didn't even cry
I'm gettin' better, I'm gettin' better.

I talked with an old friend,
He asked about you.
I managed to tell him
With just a tear or two.
I'm gettin' better, I'm gettin' better.

I know I'll never be the same
I was standin' too close to the flame.
But it doesn't hurt so much
To hear your name.
I think I'll make it, I'm gettin' better...

"I'm Glad You're Better"



I'd walk by the same spot
Where we walked that night
I remembered your kisses
And tears dimmed my sight.
I'm glad you're better.

I'm glad you're better.

I talked with that old friend
He said you're blue as can be
Now I can tell you
It's the same way with me.
I'm glad you're better.

I'm glad you're better.

I know we'll never be the same
We both stood much too close to the flame
How I'd cry at the sound of your name
Don't think I'll make it.
I'm glad you're better...

"I'm Gonna Change Everything"



Yeah, I'm gonna change everything
That holds a memory of you
Oh! Yeah.

I'm gonna start with the walls
Take the pictures off the walls
And burn 'em
Move the chairs around
Take the window curtains down
And burn 'em
Everything I see
Reminds me you were here
Yeah, I'm gonna change everything
That holds a memory of you
Oh! Yeah.

The candlelabra set
You gave me on the night
Of my birthday
The records that you bought
The hi-fi we loved to play
The decorating man
Will come and rearrange them
Yeah, I'm gonna change everything
That holds a memory of you
Oh! Yeah.

Take the carpet off the floor
Throw it out the door
It's filled with tears
Everything I find
That brings you to my mind
Must disappear
Every night I dream
I'll dream of someone new
Yeah, I'm gonna change everything
That holds a memory of you
Yeah, I'm gonna change everything
That holds a memory of you
Oh! Yeah, Mmm.
Oh! Yeah, Mmm...

"I'm Waiting For Ships That Never Come In"


[Sang]
I'm waiting for ships that never come in.
I wonder where they can be?

[Spoken]
Life is only a game of poker
And happiness is the partner
They deal you five cards in the cradle
And you play wether your like it or not.

Some get a pat hand to start with
And the game doesn't seem on the square
When you look at your hand and discover
You were born without even a pair.

But there's no use in kicking or squawking
Just pick up your cards and begin
To figure and plan and puzzle
While fate looks on with a grin.

Some take a chance at bluffing
And stake everything they've got
On a little dinky little poor flush
And sometimes that wins a plot.

Others will break up openers
To draw for a middle straight
They know what a chance they're takin'
And they learned their mistake, too late.

Some can't play crooked
Against all good advice
But they seldom get away with it
And in the end they've paid the price.

The most of us play straight poker
But I'll tell you boys it's hard
When you're there with both ends open
And you can't draw the winning card

Now, I've always been a loser
It seems that I never can win
And I'm just a dreamer who's waiting
For ships that never come in.

[Sang]
I wonder, where they can be?..

"I've Enjoyed As Much Of This As I Can Stand"



You look lovelier tonight than I remember
I'm so glad I got to see you once again
I've enjoyed just sitting down and reminiscing
But I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand.

There's so much more between us than this table
All those years, all those dreams, all those plans
Guess you know about me sayin' I still I love you
But I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand.

So you say you're happy now you've found a new love
Tell him I said his a lucky, lucky man
No, I don't think I've had time to see his picture
I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand.

There's so much more between us than this table
All those years, all those dreams, all those plans
Guess you know about me sayin' I still I love you
But I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand...

"I've Lived A Lot In My Time"



I've lived a lot in my time (I've lived a lot in my time)

I once had a mansion and lived in my glory
But now I'm down to my last dime;
I had a sweetheart, but I was unfaithful
Oh, I've lived a lot in my time..

I've fought the grim reaper down in the dark valley
I've prayed when the sun wouldn't shine;
I've looked through the bars of a cold lonely prison
Oh, I've lived a lot in my time.

I've been a soldier, and I've been a rambler
Once thought that everything was fine;
I've hoed in the corn fields, I've picked in the cotton
Yes, I've lived a lot in my time.

I've walked with my master, down in the dark valley
And wonderful peace I did find;
Someday I'll journey to Eden's green pastures
Yes, I've lived a lot in my time...

"Ichabod Crane"



I'll tell you a story of a love and his flame
You've read about him he's Ichabot Crane.

He went a courtin' one night on his horse
And Sleepy Hollow they both had to cross
While ridin' and thinkin' bout the girl he would wed
It was there that old Ichabot lost his head.

Across Sleepy Hollow a horseman did follow
And follow and follow poor Ichabot Crane
Don't want to end up like Ichabot Crane
Who lost his head and went up in the flame.

Sleepy Hollow I'm gonna evade
That was the mistake that poor Ichabot made
I'm a losin' my head and startin' to burn
Ain't any too smart but I'm willin' to learn.

You can't talk me in to a staying out late
That was poor Ichabot's biggest mistake
Across Sleepy Hollow a horseman did follow
And follow and follow poor Ichabot Crane.

In the legend of Sleepy Hollow tis said
The horseman had a pumpkin for a head
My head may be sore and I may not be bright
Just one more little kiss and that's all for tonight.

I'm afraid that your kisses will drive me insane
And I'll end up like Ichabot Crane
I'm a headin' right home and a jumpin' in bed
That's the best way I know to hang on to my head.

Across Sleepy Hollow your mem'ry will follow
And follow and follow this Ichabot Crane...

"If You Were Mine"



Count the raindrops in a rainstorm
Count the leaves upon a tree
Count the stars up in the heavens
Count the fish down in the sea.

Add them all together
And here's what you would find
They'd be equal to the kisses
You would get if you were mine.

If you were mine, mine, mine
If you were only mine
I would love you more than
You've ever been loved before.

Count the times the sun has risen
Since the day the world began
Find a beach beside the ocean
Count the little grains of sand.

Add them both together
And here's what you would find
They'd be equal to the love you's, you would hear
If you were only mine.

Take a child's love for its mother
It's a love that never ends
Take a brothers love for brother
Or the love of mans best friend.

Put them all together
And here's what you would find
They'd be equal to the love I'd have
For you if you were only mine.

If you were mine, mine, mine
If you were only mine
I would love you more than
You've ever been loved before.

Take the happiness of someone
Who has won the jackpot prize
Take the happiness of children
When their birthday gifts arrive.

Add that happiness together
And here's what you would find
It's just equal to the love I'd know
If you were only mine...

"In A Mansion Stands My Love"



On a mountain stands a mansion so fine
And it looks down on this cabin of mine
I had a love and I loved her true
But along came a rich man and loved her to
Now on a mountain in a mansion stands my love.
Well, he promised he'd buy her diamond rings
Yes, he promised fancy dresses and things
He promised everything indeed
But it can't buy the love that her poor heart needs
On a mountain in a mansion so fine.

Now, I know that she's not happy there
And I know that she's got thing to bad
My only dream is that someday
She'll come right back here and stay
In the cabin in the valley with me.
On a mountain stands a mansion so fine
And it looks down on this cabin of mine
I had a love and I loved her true
But along came a rich man and loved her to
Now, on a mountain in a mansion stands my love.
On a mountain in a mansion stands my love.
On a mountain in a mansion stands my love...

"In The Garden"



I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known.

(He speaks and the sound of His voice)
(Is so sweet the birds hush their singing)
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known...
