"Bridge Of Love"



There's a gap in the world
Only love can fill
And we can bridge that gap
If we have the will
No it won't be easy
We'll need help from above
But if everybody pitches in
We can build a bridge of love

Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
From nation to nation
Standing through each generation
Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
Hand in Hand
Side by side
That's what it's gonna take

Then one day we'll cross that
Bridge to a better life
And we'll leave behind us
That old world of strife
When we reach our new world
Hate we'll never fear
And I bet if we could see God's face
He'd be smiling from ear to ear

Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
From nation to nation
Standing through each generation
Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
Hand in Hand
Side by side
That's what it's gonna take

Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
From nation to nation
Standing through each generation
Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
Hand in Hand
Side by side
That's what it's gonna take

Let's build a bridge of love
Across the sea of hate
From nation to nation
Standing through each generation
Let's build a bridge of love

"Broken Toys"



Such a pretty little face,
With a heart that's been torn.
Living in a borrowed space,
From the moment she was born.
How many times shes cried,
But never tears of joy.
Someones taken a little girl, and made a broken toy.

Two sad little eyes,
Painted heartbreak blue.
The simplest of his dreams,
Never will come true.
Someone elses pain,
Fell on this little boy.
Someones taken a soldier,
And made a broken toy.

Broken toys,
Who will mend these broken toys?
For everyone one we break,
A broken life takes its place.

That one day will break toys of its own.
Oh Lord, we've got to mend these broken toys.
And let them be children again,
Give back the innocence stolen from them.

Broken toys,
Who will mend these broken toys?
For everyone we break,
A broken life takes its place.
That one day will break toys of its own.
Oh Lord, we've got to mend these broken toys.

"Brown Eyed Woman"



You look at me and baby all you see
Are my blue eyes, I'm not a man
Baby all that I am is what I symbolize

Brown eyed woman, oh brown eyed woman
Brown eyed woman, oh I could love you so, love you so
Brown eyed woman, I could love you so

All of the years, all the hate and the tears
Have twisted your mind and you turn away
You won't trust what I say and it's tearing me apart

Brown eyed woman, oh brown eyed woman
Brown eyed woman, oh I could love you so, love you so
Brown eyed woman, I could love you so

I'm holding out my hand to you
Oh, darlin' tell me
Tell me please what else can I do
Brown eyed woman

"Christmas Is Coming Home"



As a child I never stopped believing
The joy that filled our house on Christmas Day
By the fire we loved to share the meaning
With songs we sang all through the holiday
Oh, and I long for that feeling
The one of peace on earth for everyone

Home is in your heart, remember
No matter where you are you're not alone
Love will find you in December
'Cause Christmas is coming home

By the tree we welcomed back the memory
To talk about how fast the year's gone by
So blessed seeing all the family
For a moment, we just stop the world in time
Oh, how I long for that feeling
The one that keeps the Christmas dream alive

Home is in your heart, remember
No matter where you are you're not alone
Love will find you in December
'Cause Christmas is coming home

When the trees are covered up with snow
In your heart you'll know it's time to go home

Home is in your heart, remember
No matter where you are you're not alone
Love will find you in December
'Cause Christmas is coming home
Christmas is coming home

"Circle 'Round The Sun"



Now, I love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Yes, I love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Now, she throws her arms around me
Like a circle around the sun

I lay down last night, Lord
Just to try to take my rest
I lay down last night, Lord
I was trying to take my rest
But my thoughts they just kept wandering
Like the wild geese in the west

Now I know that sunrise, sunrise
It's gonna shine in my back yard someday
I said I know that sunrise, sunrise, sunrise
It's gonna shine in my back yard someday
And that wind just bound to rise up
Gonna blow, blow all my blues away

Hey, I love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Hear me say that
I love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Now, she throws her arms around me
Just like a circle around the sun

"City Boys"



City boys singing country songs
And they tell you what they've seen
City boys singing country songs
But they don't know what they mean
How can a boy from Philly tell ya
How it feels it feels to be in the arms
Of an Oklahoma girl
And how can a New Yorker born and raised
Taste the taste of the popcorn
In an Indiana drive-in movie

City boys wearing western blue jeans
Walking down the streets
Snap down shirt
And cowboy boots
Just a shining on their feet
What good will blue jeans do ya
If you ain't gonna roll around
In the Mississippi mud awhile
And how will the boots come in that handy
If the dandy don't wanna walk across an Iowa cornfield
On a Sunday morning

City boys singing country songs
And they tell you what they've seen
City boys singing country songs
But they don't know what they mean
Now how can a boy from Philly tell ya
How it feels it feels to be in the arms
Of an Oklahoma girl
And how can a New Yorker born and raised
Taste the taste of the popcorn
In an Indiana drive-in movie

"City Sunday Morning Day"



City on a Sunday morning
Everybody's gone away
Seems to me I like it best that way
Standing on an empty corner
Caught up in a very funny mood today

Footsteps on the sidewalk
Echo on the avenue
6 AM the sun is peeking through
Lazy alley cat is sleeping
Whiling the time away
There's something about a city
Sunday morning day

Traffic jams
Garbage cans
Pushcart vendors
Big time spenders
All have gone away
That's why I love Sunday

The streets are all rolled up empty
I'm strolling down old Broadway
Sure looks like a peaceful town today
A hobo tips his hat good morning
And I tossed him a dime
On a city morning feeling fine

Traffic jams
Garbage cans
Pushcart vendors
Big time spenders
All have gone away
That's why I love Sunday

City on a Sunday morning
Everybody's gone away
Seems to me I like it best that way
Standing on an empty corner
Caught up in a very funny mood today

There's something about a city
Sunday morning day
There's something about a city
Sunday morning day

"Common Ground"



Love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground

I've lived down in a valley
You live on that mountain above
And although we live in different places
The common ground we share is love

Oh
Love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground

If we met as total strangers
And if we came from different lands
And if we didn't speak the same language
Love's one thing we both would understand

Because love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground

Oh oh
Love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground

Oh oh
Love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground

"Conversation"



Conversation
Is gettin' so hard to make
I try to communicate
But I can't get through

We are strangers
But I remember when
You used to be my friend
And my lover too

And I don't really know how it happened
And I don't really know what to say
I just wonder how we ever got this way

Conversation
That's what it's all about
Why can't we talk it out
And say what's on our minds

Situations
Keep gettin' in the way
So much we need to say
But we're runnin' out of time

And I don't really know how it happened
I have tried
But I don't understand
How we ever let it get so out of hand

When it's gone
It's gone forever
When it's gone
It's gone for good

Conversation
Things that we've done and said
Keep runnin' through my head
Like a sad echo
No

Desperation
It's gettin' the best of me
I can't make you see
And I can't let go
No

And I don't really know how it happened
And I don't really know what to say
But I can't bring myself
To throw it all away

"Crying"



I was all right
For a while
I could smile for a while
And then I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say hello
As you wished me well
You couldn't tell that
That I'd been crying

I thought that I
Was over you
But it's true oh so true
I love you even more than I did before
But darlin' what can I do
For you don't love me
And I'll always be
Crying
Over you
Crying
Over you

Yes now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying
Crying
Crying
Crying
Crying
Crying
Oh over you

I was all right
For a while
I could smile for a while

"Daddy"


I sang about Mama, but I guess I forgot Daddy
So Dad, this is for you

Who's the one who used to tickle your toes
And wrinkle his nose
Who taught you how a choo-choo goes
Daddy
Oh Daddy

And who's the one who'd wake in darkest night
To see if you were alright
His baby sleeping tight
Daddy
Daddy

Who's the one who worked so hard all day
But when his job was through
He'd come home and play with you
Daddy
Daddy

And who's the one who let you put some lipstick on
And wear your hair down long
When Mom was gone
Daddy
Daddy

It was Daddy
My Daddy

Daddy
Oh Daddy

And who's the one that would wait up late
Waiting on his baby girl to tell him all about her date
Daddy
Daddy

And who's the one who saw your tears were real
And said no matter how you feel
A love wound will heal
Daddy
Daddy

And who's the one who's cared your whole life through
Now there's someone who has taken you
And who's the one on your wedding day
Who has to smile and say
I do I give my girl away
Daddy
My Daddy

"Didn't It Rain"



Didn't it rain children
Talk about rain oh my Lord
Didn't it fall didn't it fall
Didn't it fall my Lord didn't it rain

Didn't it rain children
Talk about rain oh my Lord
Didn't it fall didn't it fall

He haste his wings and away he flew
To the East to the West

All day all night how it rained how it rained

Didn't it rain children
Talk about rain oh my Lord

You wouldn't hear me you disobey me
Lord send the angel a warning to you
It began to rain and now you are through

Well it rained forty days
Forty nights without stopping
Noah was glad
When the rain stopped dropping
Knock at the window knock at the door
Come on brother Noah
Can't you take any more
No no my brothers you are full of sin
God has the key you can't get in
Would you listen how it rained

Didn't it rain children

Didn't it fall didn't it fall
Didn't it fall my Lord didn't it rain

Didn't it rain children
Talk about rain oh my Lord
Didn't it fall didn't it fall
Didn't it fall my Lord didn't it rain

"Do What You Gotta Do"



Girl, I can understand how it might be
Kinda hard to love a guy like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know

I've loved you better that your own kin did
From the very start it's my own fault
What happens to my heart
You see I've always known you'd go

So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean that I'll never kiss
Those sweet lips again

Pay that no mind
Find that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me when you can

Now I know it'll make you feel sad
And make you feel so bad
They say you don't treat me me like you should
They got ways to make you feels no good
I guess they got no way to know

I've had my eyes wide open from the start
And girl, you never lied to me
The part of you that they'll never see
Is the part you've shown to me

So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean that I'll never kiss
Those sweet lips again

Pay that no mind
Find that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me when you can

"Do You Wanna Go To Heaven"



It was the hottest day of August
All of us were down by the banks of the Paint Rock River
I was next in line to be baptized
At the innocent age of ten

And I'll never forget I remember it yet
The taste of that clear pure water
And that preacher's words still fill my head
And I hear them now and then he said

Do you wanna go to heaven
And I said yeah just lead me on
Take my hand can you feel that feeling
And I said yes just lead me on

It was the hottest day of summer
And our final high school dance was just about over
I was old enough for the taste of love
When boys turn into men

And I'll never forget I remember it yet
The taste of that clear pure water
But the preacher's words I barely heard
As sweet Bonnie Lou gave in she said

It was a lonely night in August
She was sitting at the end of the bar when I saw her
And with a little wine and an little time
She would be a prize to win

Now I'll never forget I remember it yet
The taste of that clear pure water
But that preacher's words could not be heard
When she whispered come on in she said

"Doctor Good"



Doctor God, Doctor God
Won't you give me an appointment
Been so long since I've had a check up
Can you squeeze me in today?

Doctor God, oh Doctor God
I know there's a long line waiting
Emergency situation
And I need you
Doctor God

Now I have come to seek the prophet, yeah
Oh
Can you tell me is he in today
Show me to the man with the healing hands
And tell him to come and take me by my hand
Don't you know I need, I need the Doctor,
Right away

Doctor God, Doctor God
Can you forgive me for the way I've been living
Taking more than giving
I'm just tired of living this way

Doctor God, Oh Doctor God
Show me that road to salvation
And lead me away from temptation
And close the door to hate
Oh, Doctor God

"Don't Worry"




Don't worry 'bout me, it's all over now
Though I may be blue, I'll manage somehow
Love can't be explained, can't be controlled
One day it's warm, next day it's cold.

Don't pity me, 'cause I'm feelin' blue
Don't be ashamed, it might have been you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, love, kiss me one time, then go, love
I'll understand, don't worry 'bout me.

Sweet, sweet, sweet love; I want you to be
As happy as I, when you loved me
I'll never forget you, your sweet memory
It's all over now, don't worry 'bout me.

When one heart tells, one heart, one heart good-bye
One heart is free, one heart will cry
Oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet, sweet baby sweet, baby sweet
It's alright, don't worry 'bout me

"Don't Worry, Baby"
(originally by The Beach Boys)



Well, it's been building up inside of me
For, oh, I don't know how long
I don't know why
But I keep thinkin'
Somethings bound to go wrong

But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
When she says
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
(Don't worry baby)
Everything will turn out alright
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
(Don't worry baby)
(Baby)

Each morning I awake and fine
The sunlight softly shining in her hair
And then I realize that I'm only
Thinkin' that she really doesn't care
There's magic in her eyes
That makes me come alive
When she says

(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
(Don't worry baby)
Everything will turn out alright
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby

She told me Baby, when you leave today
Just take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I loved you
Baby nothing could go wrong with you
Oh what she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says

(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
(Don't worry baby)
Everything will turn out alright
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright

"Don't You Love Me Anymore"



Oh oh
I thought I'd see you smile
When I walked in the door
Thought those arms of yours would be open wide
The way they were before
Why do you look at me
Like I'm some stranger now
Why do you pull away
When you used to hold me so tight

Don't you love me anymore
Have your learned to live your life without me
Don't you love me, anymore
When did the fire go out
Where did the feeling go
Did it slip away when I wasn't there
Baby now I've come home
I thought you'd want me babe
I was so sure you'd ask me to to stay
I thought you'd need this too
Guess it didn't work out that way

Don't you love me anymore
Have you learned to live your life without me
Don't you love me anymore
Darling

When did the fire go out
Where did the feeling go
Why do you pull away
When you used to hold me so close baby
Don't you love me anymore
Have your learned to live your life without me
Don't you love me anymore
Don't you love me anymore
Have your learned to live your life without me

"Early Morning Hush"



Sometimes I wake up and the dark of night is creeping
And the early morning hush is all around
I wonder if any of my dreams are worth keeping
Or are they as foolish as they sound

There's so little time
And so much living
And so many treasures to be found
Maybe someday I'll find myself a warm bed to sleep in
Then the early morning hush won't get me down

There's so little time
And so much living
And so many treasures to be found
Maybe someday I'll find myself a warm bed to sleep in
Then the early morning hush won't get me down

Oh
Maybe someday I'll find myself a warm bed to sleep in
Then the early morning hush won't get me down

Early morning hush
Early morning hush
Early morning hush

"Even A Fool Would Let Go"



It's funny how love goes
'Cause I know this will never work out
But honey my loves grows
Even though there's no reason to doubt
This can never be
You keep saying it's wrong
Neither one of us is free
Still I wanna hold on

When even a fool would let go
'Cause he knows that there's no use in trying
Even a child would say no
When he knows that he'll end up crying
Tell me now is it wise holding you
When even a fool would let go

My love had no reason
Like the words to a song that don't rhyme
My loves' got no season
I just know that it's there all the time
Baby just you and me
I can believe that's wrong
Thinkin' bout you and me
Makes me want to hold on

When even a fool would let go
'Cause he knows that there's no use in trying
Even a child would say no
When he knows that he'll end up crying
Tell me now is it wise holding you
When even a fool would let go

Tell me now is it wise holding you
When even a fool would let go
