James Taylor Live Lyrics
1.Carolina In My Mind

In my mind i'm goin' to carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes i'm goin' to carolina in my mind

Karen she's a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shinin'
Watch her watch the mornin' come
A silver tear appearing now i'm cryin'
Ain't i goin' to carolina in my mind

There ain't no doubt it no ones mind
That loves the finest thing around
Whisper something warm and kind
And hey babe the sky's on fire, i'm dyin'
Ain't i goin' to carolina in my mind

In my mind i'm goin' to carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes i'm goin' to carolina in my mind

Dark and silent last night
I think i might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
Signs that might be omens say i going, going
I'm goin' to carolina in my mind

With a holy host of others standing 'round me
Still i'm on the dark side of the moon
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me
If i'm up and gone to carolina in my mind

In my mind i'm goin' to carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes i'm goin' to carolina in my mind


2.Copperline

Even the old folks never knew
Why they call it like they do
I was wondering since the age of two
Down on copperline
Copper head, copper beech
Copper kettles sitting side by each
Copper coil, cup o'georgia peach
Down on copperline
Half a mile down to morgan creek
Leaning heavy on the end of the week
Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
Down on copperline
We were down on copperline

One summer night on the copperline
Slip away past supper time
Wood smoke and moonshine
Down on copperline
One time i saw my daddy dance
Watched him moving like a man in a trance
He brought it back from the war in france
Down onto copperline
Branch water and tomato wine
Creosote and turpentine
Sour mash and new moon shine
Down on copperline
Down on copperline

First kiss ever i took
Like a page from a romance book
The sky opened and the earth shook
Down on copperline
Down on copperline
Took a fall from a windy height
I only knew how to hold on tight
And pray for love enough to last all night
Down on copperline
Day breaks and the boys wakes up
And the dog barks and the birds sings
And the sap rises and the angels sigh, yeah

I tried to go back, as if i could
All spec house and plywood
Tore up and tore up good
Down on copperline
It doesn't come as a surprise to me
It doesn't touch my memory
Man i'm lifting up and rising free
Down on over copperline
Half a mile down to morgan creek
I'm only living for the end of the week
Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
Down on copperline, yeah
Take me down on copperline
Oh, down on copperline
Take me down on copperline


3.Country Road

Take to the highway won't you lend me your name
Your way and my way seem to be one and the same

Mamma don't understand it
She wants to know where i've been
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again
But i could feel it
On a country road

Sail on home to jesus won't you good girls and boys
I'm all in pieces, you can have your own choice
But i can hear a heavenly band full of angels
And they're coming to set me free
I don't know nothing 'bout the why or when
But i can tell that it's bound to be
Because i could feel it, child, yeah
On a country road

I guess my feet know where they want me to go
Walking on a country road

Take to the highway won't you lend me your name
Your way and my way seem to be one and the same, child
Mamma don't understand it
She wants to know where i've been
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again
But i could feel it
On a country road

Walk on down, walk on down, walk on down
Walk on down, walk on down a country road
Country road
Walking on a country road


4.Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight

Do me wrong, do me right,
Tell me lies but hold me tight,
Save your goodbyes for the morning light,
But don't let me be lonely tonight.

Say goodbye and say hello,
Sure enough good to see you, but it's time to go,
Don't say yes but please don't say no,
I don't want to be lonely tonight.

Go away then, damn you,
Go on and do as you please,
You ain't gonna see me gettin' down on my knees.
I'm undecided, and your heart's been divided,
You've been turning my world upside down.

Do me wrong, do me right (right now baby),
Go on and tell me lies but hold me tight.
Save your goodbyes for the morning light (morning light),
But don't let me be lonely tonight.
I don't want to be lonely tonight.
No, no, i don't want to be lonely tonight.

I don't want to be lonely tonight.


5.Everybody Has The Blues

Poor puppy, you look so sad
I guess you think that no one ever
Felt so bad before

Everybody has the blues
Everybody has the blues
Everybody knows the way that you feel today

Everybody gets to sit and cry
Everybody gets to wonder why
Everybody gets to watch the sky turn grey

Maybe you lost your job
Maybe you lost your girl
Maybe you feel like you're losing your mind
That's not the end of the world

Everybody gets to feel some pain
Everyone got to get to caught out in the rain
Everybody got some days that they can't explain

Everybody got the blues
Everybody has the blues
Everybody knows the way that you feel today


6.Fire And Rain

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and i wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and i've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that i thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when i could not find a friend
But i always thought that i'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me, jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And i won't make it any other way

Oh, i've seen fire and i've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that i thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when i could not find a friend
But i always thought that i'd see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the
sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about
things
To come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

Oh, i've seen fire and i've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that i thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when i could not find a friend
But i always thought that i'd see you, baby, one more time
again, now

Thought i'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought i'd see you, thought i'd see you fire and rain, now


7.Handyman

Hey girls, gather round
Listen to what i'm putting down
Hey babe, i'm your handy man

I'm not the kind to use a pencil or rule
I'm handy with love and i'm no fool
I fix broken hearts, i know that i truly can

If your broken heart should need repair
Then i'm the man to see
I whisper sweet things, you tell all your friends
They'll come runnin' to me

Here is the main thing i want to say
I'm busy 24 hours a day
I fix broken hearts, i know that i truly can

Come, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
They'll come runnin' to me

That's me
I'm your handy man


8.How Sweet It Is(To Be Loved By You)

how sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I needed the shelter of someone's arms, and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs, and there you
were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would i be without you in my life
Everything i did was just a bore
Everywhere i went it seems i'd been there before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

You were better to me than i was to myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you


9.I Will Follow

Yonder mountain so high
I can't make it all on my own, no
Rolling river why so wide?
To sweep me up and to bear me on
Up against the sky so bright
That i can't even close my eyes

I know i will follow (follow love)
Yes, yes, i will follow (follow love)
I will follow (follow love)
Follow love

Growing slowly like a tree
Someday soon, darling i love you
I love you
Soft and gentle, full summer moon
Set my soul free
Thank you, baby
Drifting like a cloud in the sky
I can see myself from high above

I know i must follow (follow love)
Somehow i will follow (follow love)
I must follow (follow love)
Follow love

Oh, half the future and half the past
They're waiting inside your eyes
Yes, and after all of this
To last and last
Till at last it's your time to rise, rise

True believer that i am
I am blind, lead me on (lead me on)
Blessed receiver of your love
I own my own time
And i've been holding on (holding on)
Leave the word unspoken
And the spell will not be broken

And i'm bound to follow, now (follow love)
I know i must go (follow love)
I must follow (follow love)
Yes, i must follow (follow love)
Someone to hold my hand (follow love)
Somebody to lead me on(follow love)
Somebody to walk beside me (follow love)
Someone to follow me now (follow love)
I must follow love (follow love)
I will fall in love
I will follow love (follow love)
Anywhere it leads me
I will follow love (follow love)
Follow love


10.Mexico

Way down here you need a reason to move
Feel a fool running your stateside games
Lose your load, leave your mind behind, baby james

Oh, mexico
It sounds so simple i just got to go
The sun's so hot i forgot to go home
Guess i'll have to go now

'americano' got the sleepy eye
But his body's still shaking like a live wire
Sleepy 'serita' with the eyes on fire

Oh, mexico
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
Moon's so bright like to light up the night
Make everything all right

Baby's hungry and the money's all gone
The folks back home don't want to talk on the phone
She gets a long letter, sends back a postcard; times are hard

Oh, down in mexico
I never really been so i don't really know
Oh, mexico
I guess i'll have to go

Oh, mexico
I never really been but i'd sure like to go
Oh, mexico
I guess i'll have to go now


11.Millworker

Now my grandfather was a sailor
He blew in off the water
My father was a farmer
And i, his only daughter
Took up with a no good millworking man
From massachusetts
Who dies from too much whiskey
And leaves me these three faces to feed

Millwork ain't easy
Millwork ain't hard
Millwork it ain't nothing
But an awful boring job
I'm waiting for a daydream
To take me through the morning
And put me in my coffee break
Where i can have a sandwich
And remember

Then it's me and my machine
For the rest of the morning
For the rest of the afternoon
And the rest of my life

Now my mind begins to wander
To the days back on the farm
I can see my father smiling at me
Swinging on his arm
I can hear my granddad's stories
Of the storms out on lake eerie
Where vessels and cargos and fortunes
And sailors' lives were lost

Yes, but it's my life has been wasted
And i have been the fool
To let this manufacturer
Use my body for a tool
I can ride home in the evening
Staring at my hands
Swearing by my sorrow that a young girl
Ought to stand a better chance

So may i work the mills just as long as i am able
And never meet the man whose name is on the label

It be me and my machine
For the rest of the morning
And the rest of the afternoon
Gone for the rest of my life


12.New Hymn

Source of all we hope or dread
Sheepdog, jackyl, rattler, swan
We hunt your face and long to trust
That your hid mouth will say again let there be light
A clear new day

But when we thirst in this dry night
We drink from hot wells poisoned with the blood of children
And when we strain to hear a steady homing beam
Our ears are balked by stiffled moans
And howls of desolation from the throats of sisters, brother,
wild men
Clawing at the gates for bread

Even our own feeble hands
Aim to seize the crown you wear
And work our private havock through
The known and unknown lands of space

Absolute in flame beyond us
Seed and source of dark and day
Maker whom we beg to be
Our mother father comrade mate

Til our few atoms blow to dust
Or form again in wiser lives
Or find your face and hear our name
In your calm voice the end of night
If dark may end
Wellspring gold of dark and day
Be here, be now


13.Only One

Chorus:
You are my only one
You are my only one
Well i'm telling you now you're my only one

I've got two long legs like to carry me
Two sharp eyes to look for the fight
Two strong arms to hold on tight
Two good friends on my left and right
But only one only one

Chorus:
You are my only one you are my only one
Don't be leaving me now you're my only one

There's only one road before me
Too many turns in the way
Thousands of things to do today
Millions of moments i must admit
But only one only one

Chorus

Taken for granted and pushed aside
All that it wanted was a place to run and hide
Missing message in a hollow tree
Hidden deep inside a memory
And the memory seems like dreams
Hundreds of hopes in the past
Nevertheless it was never the last
Hold on strong or you fade out fast
And only one only one

Chorus


14.Riding On A Railroad

We are riding on a railroad, singing some else's song
Forever standing by the cross road. take a side and step along.
We are sailing away on a river to the sea. maybe you an me can
meet again.
We are riding on a railroad, singing someone else's song sing
along.

Time to time i tire of the life that i've been leading
Town to town, day by day
There's a man up here who claims to have his hands upon the
reins.
There are chains upon his hands and he's riding upon a train.

We are riding on a railroad, singing some else's song
Forever standing by the cross road. take a side and step along.
We are sailing away on a river to the sea. maybe you an me can
meet again.
We are riding on a railroad, singing someone else's song.


15.Secret O' Life

The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
Any fool can do it
There ain't nothing to it
Nobody knows how we got to
The top of the hill
But since we're on our way down
We might as well enjoy the ride

The secret of love is in opening up your heart
It's okay to feel afraid
But don't let that stand in your way
'cause anyone knows that love is the only road
And since we're only here for a while
Might as well show some style
Give us a smile

Isn't it a lovely ride
Sliding down
Gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride

Now the thing about time is that time
Isn't really real
It's just your point of view
How does it feel for you
Einstein said he could never understand it all
Planets spinning through space
The smile upon your face
Welcome to the human race

Some kind of lovely ride
I'll be sliding down
I'll be gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride

Isn't it a lovely ride
Sliding down
Gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride

Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time


16.Shed A Little Light

Let us turn our thoughts today
To martin luther king
And recognize that there are ties between us
All men and women
Living on the earth
Ties of hope and love
Sister and brotherhood
That we are bound together
In our desire to see the world become
A place in which our children
Can grow free and strong
We are bound together
By the task that stands before us
And the road that lies ahead
We are bound and we are bound

There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
There is a hunger in the center of the chest
There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest

(chorus)
Shed a little light, oh lord
So that we can see
Just a little light, oh lord
Wanna stand it on up
Stand it on up, oh lord
Wanna walk it on down
Shed a little light, oh lord

Can't get no light from the dollar bill
Don't give me no light from a tv screen
When i open my eyes
I wanna drink my fill
From the well on the hill

(do you know what i mean?)
- chorus -

There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
There is a hunger in the center of the chest
There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest

Oh, let us turn our thoughts today
To martin luther king
And recognize that there are ties between us
All men and women
Living on the earth
Ties of hope and love
Sister and brotherhood


17.She Thinks I Still Care

Just because i ask a friend about her.
Just because i spoke her name somewhere.
Just because i rang her number by mistake today,
She thinks i still care.

Just because i hang out at the same ol' places
Where the memory of her lingers everywhere.
Just because i'm not the happy guy i used to be,
She thinks i still care.

But if she's happy thinking i still need her,
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer.
But how could she ever be so foolish?
Oh, where would she get such an idea?

Just because i ask a friend about her.
Just because i spoke her name somewhere.
Just because i saw her, then went all to pieces,
She thinks i still care.
She thinks i still care.


18.Shower The People

You can play the game and you can act out the part
Though you know it wasn't written for you
But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
Ashamed of playing the fool
One thing can lead to another; it doesn't take any sacrifice
Oh, father and mother, sister and brother
If it feels nice, don't think twice

Just shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will

You can run but you cannot hide
This is widely known
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
When you're all by yourself alone
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
You can feel it beginning to ease
I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel
Always getting the grease.

Better to shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be just fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will

Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel

You'll feel better right away
Don't take much to do
Sell you pride
They say in every life
They say the rain must fall
Just like pouring rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Love, love, love is sunshine.
Oh yes
Make it rain
Love, love, love is sunshine
Yeah, all right
Everybody, everybody
Shower the people you love with love


19.Slap Leather

Take all the money that we need for school
And to keep the street people in out of the cold
Spend it on a weapon you can never use
Make the world an offer that they can't refuse
Open up the door and let the shark-men feed
Hoover of the future in the land of greed
Sell the ponderosa to the japanese
Slap leather, head for that line of trees, yeah
Slap leather
Go on ron
Just about to go myself

Turn the whole wide world into a tv show
So it's just the same game wherever you go
You never meet a soul that you don't already know
One big advertisement for the status quo
As if these celebrities were your close friends
As if you knew how the story ends
As if you weren't sitting in a room alone
And there was somebody real at the other end of the phone, yeah
Squibnocket
Phone sex
Just about to dial your number

Get all worked up so we can go to war
We find something worth killing for
Tie a yellow ribbon around your eyes
Big mcfalafel and a side of fries
Yeah, big mcfalafel
Stormin' norman
I just love a parade
Slap leather
Phone love
Big mcfalafel
Just about to dial myself


20.Something In The Way She Moves

something in the way she moves

There's something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
If i'm feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind.

Chorus:
'n'(and) i feel fine anytime she's around me now,
She's around me now
Almost all the time.
'n'(and) if i'm well you can tell that she's been with me now,
'n'(and) she's been with me now
Quite a long, long time
And i feel fine.___________

Every now and then the things i lean on lose their meaning,
And i find myself careening
Into places where i should not let me go.
, she has the power to go where no one else can find me,
Yes, and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that i know, you know.
Well i said i just got to know that:

It isn't what she's got to say
Or how she thinks or where she's been.
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.
I like to hear them best that way -
It doesn't much matter what they mean,
Weh (when/well?) she says them mostly just to calm me down.

Chorus:
'n'(and) i feel fine anytime she's around me now,
A-she's around me now
Almost all the time.
If i'm well you can tell that she's been with me now,
And she's been with me now
Quite a long,
Long
Time -
Yes, and i feel fine.___________


21.Steamroller

Well, i'm a steamroller, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
Yes, i'm a steamroller now, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
I'm gonna inject your soul with some sweet rock 'n roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues

Well, i'm a cement mixer
A churning urn of burning funk
Yes, i'm a cement mixer for you, baby
A churning urn of burning funk
Well, i'm a demolition derby (yeah)
A hefty hunk of steaming junk

Now, i'm a napalm bomb, baby
Just guaranteed to blow your mind
Yeah, i'm a napalm bomb for you, baby
Oh, guaranteed, just guaranteed to blow your mind
And if i can't have your love for my own (now)
Sweet child, won't be nothing left behind
It seems how lately, baby
Got a bad case steamroller blues


22.Sun On The Moon

In line, in line, it's all in line
My ducks are all in a row
They do not change, they do not move
They have nowhere to go

I've been talking to a friend of mine
He says making money's just a waste of time
He's a lazy gent, he don't pay no rent
He's all bent out of shape from living in a tent
It's hard to hear what he has to say
'cause everyone around me is just the same way:

More, more, daddy gimme some, gimme some
More, more, daddy gimme some more

Some kind of funny looking money machine it is
Saddest looking people that i've ever seen
Living in a hole, body and soul
Strung out on the company dole

One for a nickel and two for a dime
Time may be money but your money won't buy time

In line, in line, it's all in a line
My ducks are all in a row
They do not shift, they do not move
They have nowhere to go

Me and my flea we were down by the water
Fell in a hole with superman's daughter
Living alone, chewing on a bone
Pretty as homemade sin
She had to be high by the look in her eye
Her hands were wet and her mouth was dry
The sun on the moon, the sun on the moon
The sun on the moon made a mighty nice light

Bow wow wow, honk your horn

In line, in line, it's all in line
My ducks are all in a row
They do not change, they do not move
They have nowhere to go

Sometimes i'm hungry, i don't know what to do
You can take a taco to katama too


23.Sweet Baby James

There is a young cowboy he lives on the range
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change

And as the moon rises he sits by his fire
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
And closing his eyes as the doggies retire
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
As if maybe someone could hear

(chorus)
Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Rockabye sweet baby james
Deep greens and blues are the colors i choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rockabye sweet baby james

Now the first of december was covered with snow
And so was the turnpike from stockbridge to boston
Lord, the berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that
frosting
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go

There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
But singing works just fine for me

- chorus -


24.That Lonesome Road

Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself
Don't turn your head back over your shoulder
And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon
Is shining high above the trees

If i had stopped to listen once or twice
If i had closed my mouth and opened my eyes
If i had cooled my head and warmed my heart
I'd not be on this road tonight

Carry on

Never mind feeling sorry for yourself
It doesn't save you from your troubled mind

Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself
Don't turn your head back over your shoulder
And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon
Is shining high above the trees


25.Traffic Jam

(chorus)
Damn this traffic jam
How i hate to be late
It hurts my motor to go so slow
Damn this traffic jam
Time i get home my supper'll be cold
Damn this traffic jam

Well i left my job about 5 o'clock
It took fifteen minutes go three blocks
Just in time to stand in line
With a freeway looking like a parking lot

- chorus -

Now i almost had a heart attack
Looking in my rear view mirror
I saw myself the next car back
Looking in the rear view mirror
'bout to have a heart attack
I said

- chorus -

Now when i die i don't want no coffin
I thought about it all too often
Just strap me in behind the wheel
And bury me with my automobile

- chorus -

Damn...

Now i used to think that i was cool
Running around on fossil fuel
Until i saw what i was doing
Was driving down the road to ruin


26.Up On The Roof

up on the roof
Carole king (attributed to james taylor...)

When this old world starts a getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space

On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below don't bother me, no, no

So when i come home feeling tired and beat
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I'll get far away from the hustling crowd
And all the rat-race noise down in the street

On the roof, that's the only place i know
Look at the city, baby
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof

And at night the stars they put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me
That's what i said
Keep on telling you

That right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's troubleproof
And if this old world starts a getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof...


27.Walking Man

Moving in silent desperation
Keeping an eye on the holy land
A hypothetical destination
Say, who is this waliking man?

Well, the leaves have come to turning
And the goose has gone to fly
And bridges are for buning
So don't you let that yearning
Pass you by
Walking man, walking man walks
Well, any other man stops and talks
But the walking man walks

Well the frost is on the pumpkin
And the hay is in the barn
An pappy's come to rambling on
Stumbling around drunk
Down on the farm

And the walking man walks
Doesn't know nothing at all
Any other man stops and talks
But the walking man walks on by
Walk on by

Most everybody's got seed to sow
It ain't always easy for a weed to grow, oh no
So he don't hoe the row for no one
Oh for sure he's always missing
And something is never quite right
Ah, but who would want to listen to you
Kissing his existence good night

Walking man walk on by my door
Well, any other man stops and talks
But not the walking man
He's the walking man
Born to walk
Walk on walking man
Well now, would he have wings to fly
Would he be free
Golden wings against the sky
Walking man, walk on by
So long, walking man, so long


28.You've Got A Friend

Lyrics:Carole King
Music:Carole King
Arranger:Carole King

When you're down and trubled
And you need some love and care
And nothin', no nothin' is goin' right
Just close your eyes and think of me
And soon i'll be there to brighten up
Yeah, even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever i am
I'll come a-runnin'
To see you again
Chorus :
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And i'll be there, yeah i will
You've got a freind

When the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind
He begins to blow
Here's what you do baby
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
And soon you'll hear me
Knockin' at your door
Oh yes i will, yes i will
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever i am
I'll come a-runnin'
To see you again

Chorus

Ain't it good to know
That you've got a freind
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, don't let them

Chorus :
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And i'll be there, yes i will

You've got a freind, yes you do
You've got a freind, yes you do
Right till the end, for you
Ain't it good to know


29.Your Smiling Face

Whenever i see your smiling face
I have to smile myself
Because i love you (yes, i do)
And when you give me that pretty little pout
It turns me inside out
There's something about you, baby (i don't know)

(chorus)
Isn't it amazing a man like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
I will grow stronger every day
Oh, how much longer

I thought i was in love
A couple of times before
With the girl next door
But that was long before i met you
Now i'm sure that i won't forget you
And i thank my lucky stars
That you are who you are
And not just another lovely lady
Sent down to break my heart

Isn't it amazing a man like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
I can grow stronger every day
How much longer

No one can tell me that i'm doing it wrong today
Whenever i see you smile at me
No one can tell me that i'm doing it wrong today
Whenever i see your smile at face my way
No one can tell me that i'm doing it wrong today
No one can tell me that i'm doing it wrong today


30.You Make It Easy

Gosh almighty baby
Yes, indeed
You supply the satisfy and i'll supply the need
I can't help the way i feel though i know just where it leads
You make it easy ( yes, you do)
For a man to fall, for a man to fall

Heaven knows i love my woman
Just bound to fuss and fight
Now i wind up on the barroom stool
Buying drinks and keeping tight
But you know i've never done
What's come in my mind tonight
You make it easy just sitting there looking good
For a man to fall, for a man to fall

Now me and my wife
We've got the rest of our life
To make this thing right
But you and me will only see tonight

So baby, won't you turn me down and point me out the door
I'll head home and sleep it off just like every time before
You keep on lookin' good my way
I won't hold out anymore
You make it easy, you sure do make it easy, baby
For a man to fall, for a man to fall

You don't have to make it so easy, baby , no,no,no
For a man to fall
For a man to fall
For another wise good man to fall
You don't have to make it so easy, baby
For another wise good man to fall
You don't have to make it so easy, baby
