Christmas Never Comes
Talk about the heart of christmas,
Talk about the reason and the rhyme.
Talk about the sentimental feelings,
Talk about the candlelight and wine,
Talk about the children.
Listen to the voices singing.
Listen to the laughter as they play
But listen to the whisper of a heartbeat
Whose loneliness is never far away.
(chorus)
In some hearts it's never christmas,
But it's winter all the time.
All our lives spent waiting for the sun,
Children of tomorrow,
How they need a star to follow.
In some hearts it's always winter,
For some hearts it seems,
That christmas never comes.
Don't forget the winter's children,
Shadows on a star that never shines.
Looking for the love that never happened
Looking for the chris in christmas time.
The lonely voice,
That can't rejoice,
That has no choice.
(chorus)
In some hearts it's never christmas,
But it's winter all the time.
All our lives spent waiting for the sun,
Children of tomorrow,
How they need a star to follow.
In some hearts it's always winter,
For some hearts it seems,
That christmas never comes.
(chorus)
In some hearts it's never christmas,
But it's winter all the time.
All our lives spent waiting for the sun,
Children of tomorrow,
How they need a star to follow.
In some hearts it's always winter,
For some hearts it seems,
That christmas never comes.
Your Eyes Tell On You
Your eyes tell on you
Your eyes tell on you
Just lately, it seems
You're acting strange to me,
But now it's so plain, so very plain to see
I thought and I thought,
What was it I'd done wrong,
And then at once I knew,
Your love for me was gone
When you look at him, your eyes tell on you.
Well now you never, you never, looked at me,
With such a loving, longing plea,
I guess I've had my day now,
What more is there to say now?
Your eyes are the eyes
That told me I loved you,
And now they look at him,
With all the love I knew,
I gave you my heart,
And everything I had,
Now they look at him, Making me feel so bad
When you look at him, your eyes tell on you.
Well now you never, you never, looked at me,
With such a loving, longing plea,
I guess I've had my day now,
What more is there to say now?
Your eyes tell on you (3x to end.)
Young Ones
Young ones
The young ones, darling were the young ones
And the young ones, shouldn't be afraid
To live, love, while the flame has strong
Couse we may not, be the young ones, very lone.
tomorrow, why wait until tomorrow
Couse tomorrow, sometimes never comes
So love, me ,there's a song to be sung
And the best time, is to sing it , while we're young.
***
Once in every life time, comes to love like this
Oh! I need you,you need me, oh my darling can't you see.
young dreams, shouldn't be dreamed together
And the young hearts, should't be afraid
And some,day when the years have flown
Darling than we'll ,teach the young ones of our own.
Young Love
There are times - when you know
Love is lost to he who hesitates and you've got that
Feeling now you know it too well
Say o.k. - to your dreams
Never let that chance go by again
If it's love you need then listen and listen well
You've got to run like a young love
You've got to love like young love
Believe me you'll be a young love
You don't need to be anymore
You can think like a young love
Be strong like a young love
You can run like a young love
You don't need to be anymore
Live it now - everyday
'cos you know there is no better way
And in time you'll understand it's all in your heart
Lightning strikes - in the rain
But you know inside you're strong again
You can hear the thunder roll
But you stand apart
You've got to run like a young love
You can love like young love
Believe me you'll be a young love
You don't need to be anymore
As long as you think like a young love
Be strong like a young love
You can run like a young love
You don't need to be anymore
You’ve Got To Give Me All Your Lovin’
You've got to give me all your lovin'
'Cause a man ain't nothin' without woman's love
You've got to give me all your lovin'
Give it all to me 'cause a part just ain't enough
Like a flower needs the rain to grow
Like a winter needs a fall of snow
You're the one I need
To satisfy my soul
It's a lonely feelin' late at night
Without you here to put the feelin' right
You're the one I need
Your love is out of sight
You've got to give me all your lovin'
'Cause a man ain't nothin' without woman's love
You've got to give me all your lovin'
Give it all to me 'cause a part just ain't enough
You're the only woman on my mind
I've been waitin' such a long long time
If you stay by me who knows what you might find
There's a certain magic in your smile
And it's plain to see you've sure got style
Just to be with you I'd walk a thousand miles
You've got to give me all your lovin'
'Cause a man ain't nothin' without woman's love
You've got to give me all your lovin'
Give it all to me 'cause a part just ain't enough
You’ve Got Me Wondering
Gave us life for the living
And love for the giving
So thanks for the making
It's nice partaking
Now you got me wondering how it all began
My imagination fails to perceive
A million different questions fail to get an answer
I think that's why i'll always believe
As we go through this life
We'll ask you once or twice
Was all this your making
Sleep, dreaming, waking
Sweet is the sound of your voice
Singing your song
Leaving my questions undone
Oh you get me wondering
Now you got me wondering how it all began
My imagination fails to perceive
A million different questions fail to get an answer
I think that's why i'll always believe
Now you got me wondering how it all began
My imagination fails to perceive
A million different questions fail to get an answer
I think that's why i'll always believe
You’ve Got A Friend
When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend.
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name,
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.
You just call out my name,
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don't you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you've got to do is call.
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend?
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend?
You've got a friend.
You Move Heaven
I've been here before
On the street of hearts
Tryin' to find my way
To be close to you
Takin' careful steps
Makin' some mistakes
Now it's judgement day
But all along i knew
Could this one be magic
Tell me what the rumours say
Now the whispers started
There's no turning back
You move heaven for me
You bring heaven down to earth
When i see the love that's shining in your eyes
You move heaven for me
You bring heaven down to earth
And i'm thankful there's a place in heavens sky
I can hear you breathing
Loving heart and healing hands
On a solo flight
Sent from heavens door
Hear you call my name
When love came first
To be where you are
Like a shooting star
Tryin' to chase the flame
From heaven down to earth
Runnin' in slow motion
Tryin' to find a place to hide
I guess there's no escapin'
Time to face the facts
You move heaven for me
You bring heaven down to earth
When i see the love that's shining in your eyes
You move heaven for me
You bring heaven down to earth
Now i'm flyin' so high.
I've heard that heaven must be missing an angel
Don't care what the story's worth
All i care is that you're here beside me
My angel - here on earth.
Solo
I can hear you breathing
Loving heart and healing hands
You move heaven for me
You bring heaven down to earth
When i see the love that's shining in your eyes
You move heaven for me
You bring heaven down to earth
And i'm thankful there's aplace in heavens sky
Repeat 'til fade
You, Me And Jesus
If i said i loved you
What would you say?
If i said i needed you
Would it frighten you away?
If i said i loved you
And i wanted you to be
My one and only lover
Eternally.
Chorus
You and me and jesus
Jesus, me and you;
On our own we'd break,
With him we'll make it through.
Jesus, take us, make us
What you want us both to be;
I give myself to her,
She gives herself to me.
Love is really fragile
And if it's going to last
We've got to start by giving jesus
Future, present, past
I ache the way i love you
But, babe, it's sink or swim
And when we look back years from now
We're gonna owe it all to him.
Chorus
You and me and jesus
Jesus, me and you;
On our own we'd break,
With him we'll make it through.
Jesus, take us, make us
What you want us both to be;
I give myself to her,
She gives herself to me.
You Know That I Love You
Wild woman put a spell over me,
Gave me your love and now i've lost my-sanity,
Can't think straight now,i've lost my mind-my mind,
Believe me now honey,you're just one of a kind.
Chorus:
You know that i love you, you know so well,
You know that i love you, oh can't you tell,
I want to be with you, come rain come shine,
Oh won't you tell me honey you'll be mine.
You can't change the lord done made you that way,
I am laying no blame,that's how i want you to stay,
Ain't my luck to find a woman so fine-so fine,
Luck has changed thrown a seven this time.
You know that i love you,you know so well,
You know that i love you,oh can't you tell.
Chorus repeated.
Yesterday, Today, Forever
When did you becomethe topic of conversation,
When did you become this country's
Popular myth
Seems that overnight you caught
Everybody's attention
Everybody sings about you and your name
Bounces off their lips
When did you become superstar of
This generation
And when did you become commercial property
Everybody's got their own sweet lord,
Hear them sing
Looking here, looking there but they just don't
Seem sweet
Were you a guru, a godly man,
Or where you a genius, the best in the land
I read in the paper that you were back in fashion
Amongst the famous men you were high on the list
Don't they realise that fashion's a passing fancy
The truth is yesterday, today, forever
You'll be staying
Yesterday, today, forever never wavering
You stated who you were and that will
Never change
Like it or not you'll always be the same
Son of god
Like it or not, yesterday, today, forever (x6)
Yesterday, today, forever, like it or not
Wonderful Life
Birds in the sky
Flying way up high
Mmm they seem to sigh
It's a wonderful life
Fish in the sea
All born to be free
Yes, they all agree
It's a wonderful life
All over the world
In the heart of each boy and girl
You will find treasure there
Waiting to be unfurled
So follow the sun
And you'll have lots of fun
And then you will see
It's a wonderful life
Go to the places that you've never been
See all the people that you've never seen
Do al the things that you do in your dreams
And you'll see it's a wonderful life
All over the world
In the heart of each boy and girl
You will find treasure there
Waiting to be unfurled
So follow the sun
And you'll have lots of fun
And then you will see
It's a wonderful life
Go to the places that you've never been
See all the people that you've never seen
Do all the things that you do in your dreams
And you'll see it's a wonderful life
A wonderful life
It's a wonderful life
With The Eyes Of A Child
Drawer back the curtain,
Let the sun stream in.
So tell me a story,
When you're ready, begin.
Speak of the peaceful,
The gracious, the wise.
Let the world hear our laughter,
Before it dies.
With a beginning,
There must be an end.
What is the truth of that my friend.
From the sound of the joyous,
The gentle, the mild.
Please look out at life,
With the eyes of a child.
From the eyes of a child,
Keep out darkness and let in light.
Let the eyes of a child,
See little things that will give him peace,
And fill his life.
Short is the memory,
But long is the hate.
For peace on the earth,
How long must we wait?
Think of the colours,
The seasons, the sun.
Put an end to the sorrows,
That we have begun.
From the eyes of a child,
Keep out darkness and let in light.
Let the eyes of a child,
See little things that will give him peace,
And fill his life.
Drawer back the curtain,
The stage is all set.
And start on a story,
We'll never forget.
Tell all the hopeful,
The loving, the mild.
Then look out at life,
With the eyes of a child.
With A Girl Like You
Gaye,
Won't you let me have a say
In the way you behave,
I won't last another day
If you decide to go away.
CHORUS:
You're the tray of nice things
I upset yesterday,
The display of bright rings
I let slip away.
****
Oh Gaye,
You allay my every fear
In a most extraordinary way,
If I thought that I could find
my way without you
I would not ask you to stay.
CHORUS:
You're the tray of nice things
I upset yesterday,
The mainstay of my dreams
That I let slip away.
****
Gaye,
Won't you let me have a say
In the way you behave,
I won't last another day
If you decide to go away.
Don't go away,
Oh please stay,
Don't go away,
Please stay.
Wired For Sound
I like small speakers - I like tall speakers
If they've music- They're wired for sound
Walkin' about with a head full of music
Cassette in my pocket and I'm gonna use it-stereo
-out on the street you know -woh oh woh etc
Into the car go to work and ]"m cruisin'
I never think that I'll blow all my fuses
Traffic flows- into the breakfast show--woh - oh - woh etc
Power from the needle to the plastic
A.M-F.M. I feel so ecstatic now
I was a small boy who don't like his toys
I could not wait to get wired for sound
I met a girl and she told me she loved me
I said you love me then love means you must like what I like
My music is dynamite--woh -oh -woh etc
She said - I'm not a girl you put on at a stand -by
I'm a girl who demands that her love is amplified
Switch into over drive-woh-oh- woh etc.
Power from the needle to the plastic
A.M-- F.M. I feel so ecstatic now
It's music I've found
I'm wired for sound...
Wind Me Up, Let Me Go
I'm just a little tin soldier in your hands
I'm good for nothing but to obey your commands
You've never really loved me i know
So wind me up let me go
I'm just a play thing till you see someone else
And then you leave me alone on the shelf
But even tin soldiers have hearts don't you know
So wind me up let me go
You don't really need me you've a hundred other toys
And tear drops don't look good in the eyes of soldier boys
So pick me up and hold me one more time
That's just consolation for this heart of mine
Whisper a sweet word to the one who loves you
So then wind me up let me go
Then wind me up let me go
Willie And The Hand Jive
Way back when in fifty eight
We had a move that move was great
We could walk and stroll and susie q
We could do that crazy hand jive too
Remember a cat called way out willie
A cool cat called rockin' billy
Mama said to willie you'll ruin my home
And you and that hand jive have got to go
'cos he was hand jivin' he was hand jivin'
He would hand jive day and night hand jive
Willie had a girl called jivin' jilly
Inhibitions she didn't have any
Willie would stop jilly kept cryin'
To let him do that hand jive one more time
They were hand jivin' they were hand jivin'
They would hand jive day and night
Hand jive day and night
Willie and jilly got married one fall
They had a little willie junior and that's not all
Little willie got famous and it's plain to see
That he did that hand jive on tv
They were hand jivin' they were hand jivin'
They would hand jive day and night hand jive
Always hand jivin' yeah hand jivin'
We would hand jive day and night hand jive
I can remember about fifty four
Rock'n'roll was at my door
Fifty five and elvis was king
Rock'n'roll was everything
Fifty six fifty seven rock'n'roll carried me to heaven
And looking in on fifty eight
They opened up that pearly gate
We could rock we could roll
Everyone could do the stroll
Dancin' just to stay alive
We all did the crazy hand jive
Will You Love Me Tomorrow
Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can i believe the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that i'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I like to know that your love
Is love i can be sure of
So tell me now and i won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
So tell me now and i won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Wild Geese
Look at the golden dawn
See the sunset
On the silver thorn
Just remember
It was all for you and me
High on the ragged hill
He was dying
And he's dying still
Oh my lord
You were born to set men free
And the mission bells are ringing
As the prisoner finds release
And the love we knew is returning
Like wild geese
And the signal fires are burning
For the everlasting peace
And the love we knew is returning
Like wild geese
Only the closest heart
Could believe that love's
A dying art
After all the
Hungry mouths he fed
Eyes on the gentle one
Looked for the kindness
But they gave him none
Not a sip of wine
Or a crust of bread
Wide Open Space
I wonder if after all this time
You think of me.
Do you ever miss my company?
You never could doubt about
The way that i feel.
Tell me: d'you feel it too?
It's funny how after all this time
You're all i see.
I wonder if you still keep your key.
And now that you're gone
There's nothing left for me here,
Just a wide open space.
And i can't forget that smile on your face.
There's a wide open space,
And noone else can stand in your place.
There's a wide open space here in my heart.
It's funny how all at once
The world can turn around,
Taking you up to bring you down.
And suddenly life has passed me by
And i'm left with a wide open space.
You know i can't forget that smile...
... wide open space here in my heart.
I couldn't believe it when i thought
I heard you say
You'd never be coming back this way.
And since you've been gone
There's been no love for my heart,
No, not a trace.
And i can't forget that smile...
... wide open space here in my heart.
Why Should The devil Have All The Good Music
I want the people to know
That He saved my soul
But I still like to listen to the radio
They say that rock and roll is wrong, we'll give you more chance
I say I feel so good I gotta get up and dance
I know what's right, I know what's wrong and I don't confuse it
Why should the devil have all the good music
I feel good every day
'Cause Jesus is the Rock and He rolled my blues away
Well now they say to cut my hair
They're driving me insane
I grew it out long to make room for my brain
But sometimes people don't understand
What's a good boy doing in a rock and roll band
There's nothing wrong with playing blues licks
But if you got a reason tell me to my face
Why should the devil have all the good music
There's nothing wrong with what we play
'Cause Jesus is the Rock and He rolled my blues away
Roll 'em away now!
I ain't knocking the hymns
Just give me a song that has a beat
No I ain't knocki8ng the hymns
Give me a song that moves my feet
Jesus told the Truth
Jesus showed the Way
There's one more thing I'd like to say
They nailed Him to a cross
And they laid Him in the ground
But they shoulda known they can't keep a Good Man down
And I feel good every day
I refuse to lose it
All I wanna I know from all of you is
Why should the devil have all the good music
'Cos I been filled I feel okay because Jesus is the Rock and He rolled all my blues
Jesus is the Rock and He rolled all my blues
Jesus is the Rock and He rolled all my blues

Who’s In Love
You wonder why do the things you do
With all the heartache that you've been through
It's only human to feel like this
It's only human the need to kiss
Too many times you've begun to cry
And after all this time you still don't know why
It's only human to feel so much
It's only human the need to touch
Who's in love, in love with someone new
Who's in love, in love with someone madly
Who's in love, in love with someone new
Who's in love, in love with someone madly
So madly, who's in love
You wonder what will the future be
And will the answer be there for you to see
You're only human, you need to love
It's only human the need to love
Who's in love, in love with someone new
Who's in love, in love with someone madly
Who's in love, in love with someone new
Who's in love, in love with someone madly
So madly, who's in love
Listen to your heartbeat (*4)
Listen to your heartbeat (*4)
Who's in love, in love with someone new
Who's in love, in love with someone madly
Who's in love, in love with someone new
Who's in love, in love with someone madly
So madly, who's in love
You're only human
You need to kiss
White Christmas
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
Just like the ones i used to know.
Where the treetops glisten and children listen,
To hear sleighbells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
With every christmas card i write.
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your christmas's be white.
While She’s Young
From here to eternity where time cannot reach
What is the lesson that life has to teach
Don't try to find it for the answer will come
In the message of love on the wings on the sun
A heart that is searching will find a new place
The wind is warm on the innocent face
A fledgling of love who has only just begun
To waken from dreams while she is still young
While she's young her heart is free
You gotta treat her tenderly
While she's young she's looking for someone who cares
Trust and understanding while she is still young
This fledgling of love has only just begun
Now to understand the questions of her mind
Cos now she is searching for someone who is kind
While she's young her heart is free
You gotta treat her tenderly
While she's young she's looking for someone who cares
