Counting Sheep

Collin Raye Counting Sheep Lyrics
1.Counting Sheep

Lyrics:Robert Ellis Orrall
Music:Robert Ellis Orrall

I counting the cracks on the wall by my bed
ause I can get to sleep
And my mother said
To try counting sheep as they e jumpin?the fence
But the fence has a hole
And the sheep snuck out
Their tails are wagging
Back and forth in celebration
Farmer Sam is calling out their names
But he yelling to loud and I can get to sleep
And it all on account
Of those runaway sheep
Now they e out in the woods eating ice-cream and cake
Dancing ound and around
That why I awake
Unless I dreaming
This is all to silly to be really happening
They e all got party hats
Every one of those sheep has a bell on it neck
Going ring-a-ding-ding
I a nervous wreck
They e ringing so loud
Tell me why it won stop
A familiar sound
Just like my alarm clock
Hey no wonder
I can hear Mom say good morning
Time for breakfast
Tell me what you dreamed


2.I'm Gonna Love You

Lyrics:Robert Ellis Orrall
Music:Robert Ellis Orrall

Hey baby doll, hey sweet potato
I love you now and I love you later
I gonna love you for your whole life through
Hey jelly bean, hey belly button
You ain gonna have to worry out nothin?
I l be there to take good care of you
Hey there honey, you e so funny
You e gonna help me spend my money
We e gonna travel ound the whole wide world
Hey sugar bug, you e driving me crazy
I can believe what God gave me
Everyone gonna know your my little girl
You brought a change in the weather
Things are just going to keep getting better
I gonna love you forever, I gonna love you
You make me feel light as a feather
We e gonna have some fun together

I gonna grant all your wishes
I gonna give you hugs and kisses
I gonna sing you lullabyes at night
Hey baby doll, hey sweet potato
I love you now and I love you later
When I rock you in my arms, it l be alright
You brought a change in the weather
Things are just going to keep getting better
I gonna love you forever, I gonna love you
You make me feel light as a feather
We e gonna have some fun together

Hey jelly bean, hey belly botton
You ain gonna have to worry out nothin?

3.Blackbird

Written:John Lennon/Paul Mccartney

Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of a dark, black night
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of a dark, black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise


4.A Mother and Father's Prayer

Written:Karen Taylor-Good/Melissa Manchester

I know you e listening as I lay me down to sleep
It not for me I ask, but my children souls to keep
It seems the world is going crazy
And though I need to do my share
Could you please take them under wing
Watch over them especially
Keeping them safe from everything
This is a mother prayer
I know you e listening in the silence of the night
The news is blistering but I hold on to your light
And though there darkness all around us
By my faith I know you e there
Give me the strength to lead the way
Send me the words I need to say
Use me to guide them day to day
This is a mother prayer
This is a father prayer
I know I can do this by my self
I thank you for your help
I know you e listening so I know I not alone
I feel you here with me as we all face down the unknown
Could you return us to your garden
Where no one hurt and no one scared
Free us from pride and bitterness
Keep us so close we won forget
Teach us to love as you love
This is a mother prayer
This is a father prayer
Teach us to love as you love
This is a mother , a father prayer


5.When You Wish Upon a Star

Lyrics:Ned Washington/L.Harline
Music:Ned Washington/L.Harline

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those to love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true


6.Cool Cat

Lyrics:Collin Raye/John Hobbs
Music:Collin Raye/John Hobbs

The cool cat knows when it time to relax
And get some rest
And that cool cat likes to unwind inhis room
ause it the best
All the bestest boys and groovy girls
Are sure of one thing they have found
That cool cat knows how to settle
Whoa, the cool cat knows how to run fast and play hard
With all his friends
And that cool cat combs every inch of his yard
ill it time to go in and take a bath
Put his jammies on
And brush those teeth just right
ause a cool cat knows how to say goodnight
Ain nothin?like a bedtime story
When Mom or even Dad will do
And when you wake in the morning
You feel good...so good
ause a good night rest is what makes you
A cool cat
All the bestest boys and groovy girls
Are sure of one thing they have found
That cool cat knows how to settle
A cool cat knows where it at
A cool cat knows how to settle down


7.Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral

Lyrics:Collin Raye/John Hobbs
Music:Collin Raye/John Hobbs

Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Too La Loo Ra Li
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Hush now don you cry
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Too La Loo Ra Li
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
That an Irish lullaby
Over in Killarney
Many years ago
My mother sang a song to me
In tones soft and low
Just a simple, little ditty
In her old Irish way
And I give the world if I could hear
That song of hers today
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Too La Loo Ra Li
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Hush now don you cry
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Too La Loo Ra Li
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
That an Irish lullaby


8.Hearts Are For When You Want To Love Someone

Lyrics:Larry Paxton/K.L.Gordon
Music:Larry Paxton/K.L.Gordon

Trees are for climbing
And holes are for digging
And friends are for when your having fun
And hearts are for when you want to love someone
Dogs are for hugging
And cats are for putting up with
Birds are just looking at
And heads are for when you have to wear a hat
Dads are for being with
And doing things
And helping out Mom
And Moms are for talking to
And telling things that you can tell anyone
Ears are for hearing your father call
And eyes are for seeing when it dark
Legs are for when you have to run
And hearts are for when you want to love someone
Brothers always take your things
And break your things
And eat your candy
And sisters always tell on you
And they cry a lot
When they got no reason to
Feet are for putting your shoes on
And hair is for looking nice at school
And hands are for folding when your book is done
And hearts are for when you want to love someone


9.The Dream Song

Written:Jason Blume/Karen Taylor-Good

Lay your head on your pillow now
Close your eyes
I l tuck you in and I l kiss you goodnight
While you and your teddy bear are countin?sheep
Next thing you know, you l be fast asleep
Sleep now my angle your long day is done
The very best part of the night has begun
Cause we get a present when we go to sleep
We get to dream
If you have a dream your dream can come true
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
life an adventure there so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true
You can go walkin?on peppermint clouds
And see yourself being?a real circus clown
Sail on a river of strawberry cream
Be a star or an astronaut, follow your dream
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
life an adventure there so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true
If you have a dream your dream can come true
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
life an adventure there so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true
Dream on...dream my love
A dream is a whisper from above
If you have a dream your dream can come true
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
life an adventure there so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true


10.When You Say Your Prayers

Written:Jason Blume/Karen Taylor-Good

If you e ever wondered
When you pray at night
If it makes a difference
If it sets things right
Everytime we say our prayers
Whispered in the dark
Somewhere deep inside you
You know with all your heart
As sure as God in Heaven
There someone who cares
And somebody listening
When you say your prayers
A prayer can be a thank-you
A prayer can be a wish
A prayer can say I sorry
Like a hug or a kiss
It doesn have to be just right
God hears you loud and clear
As long as it comes from your heart
It goes right to his ear
As sure as God in Heaven
There someone who cares
And somebody listening
When you say your prayers
As sure as God in Heaven
There someone who cares
And somebody listening
When you say your prayers
Just know somebody listening
When you say your prayers


11.Stay Awake

Lyrics:R.Sherman
Music:R.Sherman

Stay Awake
Don rest your head
Don lie down
Upon Your bed
While the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don close your eyes
Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow soft and deep
You e not as sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don nod and dream
Stay awake, don nod and dream
