Bob Welch Greatest Hits Lyrics
1.Church

Written:bob welch.

Well come down from your church
And talk to a man
Who knows that he loves you
And wants to understand
He knows why you cry

When you were young
You got down on your knees
You prayed for someone
Someone you could believe
Yeah, you put your faith
Right in his hands
Oh, when he let go
You couldn understand

Welcome down from your church
And talk to a man
Who knows that he loves you
And wants to understand
He knows why you cry

Fallen angel, temptation had you lost
Single girl, youe been double-crossed
Hold on holy one, some day youl be saved
And i want to be the one
On that blessed day
When you come down from your church
And talk to a man
Who knows that he loves you
And wants to understand
Fly down from your perch
And walk with a man
Who knows how to love you
Yes, i believe i can
I know why you cry


2.Come Softly To Me

Written:gary troxel, gretchen christopher, and barbara ellis.

Come softly darling, come to me stay
You're my obsession, forever & a day

I want, want you to know, i love, i love you so
Please hold, hold me so tight, all throught,
all throught the night

Speak softly darling, hear what i say
I love you always, always, always

I've waited, waited so long, for kisses & your love
Please come, come to me, please come, softly
I want, want you to know, i love, i love you so
I need, need you so much, i want to feel your touch

Come softly darling...


3.Ebony Eyes

Written:bob welch.

Have you seen that girl on the corner
I'd like to take her out of her chains
Cause if i had my way with you baby
I would be chaging your life today

(chorus)
Your eyes got me dreaming
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hoping
That i'll be holding close tonight

(repeat chorus)

She was the same as a hundred ladies
But when my eyes looked at her i learned
That she was keeping a secret fire
And if i got real close i'd burn
And so it looked like i had to move slowly
Just like a cat at night in the trees
Cause i was waiting for her to show me
That way that she liked her love to feel

(repeat chorus)

Ebony eyes....


4.Hot Love, Cold World

Written:bob welch and john henning.

Now there is a way to say i love you
And it's said everyday by some kind of fool
But where is the way to tell her goodbye

We both can't be wrong, i must be right !

(chorus)
Hot love cold world, gonna make you cry
Hot love corld world, oh yeah
Hot love cold world, gonna make you cry
Hot love cold world, oh yeah..

Our connection was strong i thought it could last
Dreams of the future not a care for the past
But look at us now not knowing what to do
You're looking so sad i feel so cruel...

(repeat chorus)


5.Jealous

Written:bob welch.

It's easy to see why
Cause i look in those green eyes
And i fall in love with her
All over again
Yeah, but this can be dangerous
Cause those green eyes seem to say yes
So easily & to so many men

(chorus)

Well i know i've got a jealous heart
A jealous mind
But i'm trying to keep a hold of my girl

Now loving so caring
But sometimes she's daring
And those big green eyes
They set you up for a fall
Now i'm tryin' to keep her
But i just can't reach her
That with me it's all
Or nothing at all

(repeat chorus)


6.Precious Love

Written:bob welch.

You got those big dark eyes that flash at me, baby
You got a head on your shoulders, you know what i mean
You got legs so long like you could walk on air
For you darlin', i'd go anywhere

(chorus)
For your love, your precious love
I' d do anything, yes i would
I want your love, your preicous love
I' ve been too lonely too long

You got a kind of walk that's just so fine
The way you fill those blue jeans baby, my my my
Yes and when you smiled at me like you did just now
All i want is just to get to you somehow

(repeat chorus)

Yeah those big dark eyes that flash at me
It's just your preicous love that i want, you to see

(repeat chorus)


7.Sentimental Lady

Written:bob welch.

You are here and warm
But i could look away and you'd be gone
Cause we live in a time
When meaning falls in splinters from our lives
And that's why i've travelled far
Cause i come so together where you are

And all of the things that i said that i wanted
Come rushing by in my head when i'm with you
14 joys and a will to be merry
And all of the things that we say are very
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady
Gentle one

Now you are here today
But easily you might just go away
Cause we live in a time
When paintings have no color, words don't rhyme
And that's why i've travelled far
Cause i come so together where you are

And all of the things that i said that i wanted
Come rushing by in my head when i'm with you
14 joys and a will to be merry
And all of the things that we say are very
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady
Gentle one

You are here and warm
But i could look away and you'd be gone
Cause we live in a time
When meaning falls in splinters from our lives
And that's why i've travelled far
Cause i come so together where you are

Yes and all of the things that i said that i wanted
Come rushing by in my head when i'm with you
14 joys and a will to be merry
And all of the things that we say are very
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady
Gentle one

Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady
Gentle one

Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady
Gentle one

Well sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady
Gentle one

10.Three Hearts

Written:bob welch.

3 hearts in a tangle, wheels start to turn
Someone meets someone, & someone gets burned
One loves the money, two loves the show
Three's always ready, you can't say no

(chorus)
3 hearts in a tangle
Someone's in the dark
You stay together, can't live apart
3 hearts in a tangle
I can't tell a lie
3 hearts in a tangle, nobody's right...

Two hearts in a tangle, now somebody's sad
There's always a back door if you wanna be bad
Yeah 3 hearts in a tangle, the thrid time around
Somebody gets restless, i'm doin' it now

3 hearts in a tangle
The knot is tied
I'm caught in the middle

Two hearts in tangle, one of them's you
Fingers are pointing, now who is the fool
Yeah one is out playin', & one waits at home
No one gets even, you're all left alone

(chorus)
3 hearts in a tangle
Such a hard thing to fight
Somebody's suspicious, yeah
Where did you spend the night ?
3 hearts in a tangle
I can't tell a lie
3 hearts in a tangle, nobody's right...
