1.Take Me Home, Country Roads
Written:Danoff/Nivart/Denver
Arranger:Bruce Welch/John Farrar
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is older there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountain
Blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her
Minor's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, blowing in the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the morning hour
She calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
2.The Air That I Breathe
Lyrics:Hammond/Hazlewood
Music:Hammond/Hazlewood
Arranger:John Fiddy
If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
Making love with you has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
What more could I ask, there's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe, yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe, yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
3.Don't Stop Believin'
Lyrics:John Farrar
Music:John Farrar
Arranger:John Farrar
You think the world should see things your way
Love, I know you, you think good fortune's here to stay
Love, I know you shined in everything you tried before
Your smile can open any door
But on those days when nobody wants to know you
And all your smiles keep falling on stoney ground
Don't stop believin', don't stop believin'
Don't stop believin', you'll get by
Bad days, bad days will hurry by
You never chase your dreams, they find you
Love, I know you, if you need love, it finds you too
Love, although you sail alone and free
I'll follow in your wake
And pray one day my heart you'll take
But on those days when nobody wants to know you
And all your smiles keep falling on stoney ground
Don't stop believin', don't stop believin'
Don't stop believin', you'll get by
Bad days, bad days will hurry by
4.Let Me Be There
Lyrics:John Rostill
Music:John Rostill
Arranger:Bruce Welch/John Farrar
Wherever you go
Wherever you may wander in your life
Surely you know
I always wanna be there
Holding you hand
And standing by to catch you when you fall
Seeing you through
In everything you do
Let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in you night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonderland
That only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there
Watching you grow
And going through the changes in your life
That's how I know
I always wanna be there
Whenever you feel you need a friend to lean on, here I am
Whenever you call, you know I'll be there
Let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in you night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonderland
That only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there
5.Pony Ride
Written:Diane Berglund/Jim Phillips
You're going up and down, back and forth
You're on a wild pony ride
Pony run, run out the door
A free spirit, you hear it
Even the sun won't bring you down
Pony run, run like before
Night's coming, keep running
When will those moonbeams slow you down
Turn you 'round, let you believe
Run, pony, run, can you fly
See the night sky turning blue
6.Never the Less/As Time Goes By
Written:B.Kalmer/H.Ruby/H.Hupfeld
Maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm weak and maybe I'm strong
But never the less I'm in love with you
Maybe I'll win and maybe I'll lose
And maybe I'm in for crying the blues
But never the less I'm in love with you
Somehow I know at a glance
The terrible chances I'm taking
Fine at the start
Then left with a heart that is breaking
Maybe I'll live a life of regret
And maybe I'll give much more than I get
But never the less
I'm in love with you
You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss
A sigh is still a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when true love is true
They still say I love you
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jeaslousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
But never the less
I'm in love with you
Never the less I'm in love
7.Love Is Alive
Lyrics:G.Wright
Music:G.Wright
Well I think it's time to get ready
To realize just what I have been
I have been only half of what I am
It's so clear to me now
My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive
My love is alive
There's a mirror moving inside my mind
Reflecting the love that you shine on me
Hold on to that feeling
Let it flow, let it flow
My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive
My love is alive
There's a mirror moving inside my mind
Reflecting the love that you shine on me
Hold on to that feeling
Let it flow, let it flow
My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive
My love is alive
8.New-Born Babe
Lyrics:Glenn Cardier
Music:Glenn Cardier
Arranger:John Farrar
New-born babe
Don't know nothing 'bout the ways of the world
Or astronauts upon the moon, or witches on brooms
New-born babe
Don't know nothing 'bout the politics of people
Or chess pieces, or old churches
You just know your mother
New-born babe
Don't know nothing 'bout the way it's gonna be
Or clown faces or masterpieces
Or love affairs or rocking chairs
I see you sleeping away, getting older every day
New-born babe
Don't know nothing 'bout the way it's gonna be
Or clown faces or masterpieces
Or love affairs or rocking chairs
I see you sleeping away
Oh, you're getting older every day
9.Something Better to Do
Lyrics:John Farrar
Music:John Farrar
Arranger:John Farrar
I try to be patient--I try not to moan
But it's driving me crazy trying to live here alone
My conversation gets nowhere when I talk to myself
I've lost my sense of humor somewhere here on the shelf
The moon is wasting its shine shining on me
Until I see you again
I won't be out in the moonlight
And I'll be sleeping by ten
The birds are wasting their song singing to me
Until I'm waking with you
Until you're back in my arms dear
The birds will have to find something better to do
A shoulder to cry on would make me feel fine
But it's not much comfort when I'm crying on mine
Friends and relations are running out of patience with me
I keep myself to myself but I'm no company
The moon is wasting its shine shining on me
Until I see you again
I won't be out in the moonlight
And I'll be sleeping by ten
The birds are wasting their song singing to me
Until I'm waking with you
Until you're back in my arms dear
The birds will have to find something better to do
Baby, till you're back in my arms
The birds will have to find something better to do
10.Jolene
Lyrics:Parton
Music:Parton
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you
Please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him
Just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of amber green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I can not compete with you, Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
And I can easy understand how you can easy take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you
Please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him
Just because you can
Now, you could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene
11.Have You Never Been Mellow
Lyrics:Farrar
Music:Farrar
Arranger:John Fiddy
There was a time when I was in a hurry as you are
I was like you
There was a day when I just had to tell my point of view
I was like you
Now I don't mean to make you frown
No, I just want you to slow down
Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?
Running around as you do with your head up in the clouds
I was like you
Never had time to lay back, kick your shoes off, close your eyes
I was like you
Now you're not hard to understand
You need someone to hold your hand
Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?
12.If You Love Me (Let Me Know)
Written:J.Rostill
Arranger:John Farrar/Alan Hawkshaw/Nick Ingman
You came when I was happy in your sunshine
I grew to love you more each passing day
Before too long I built my world around you
And I prayed you'd love enough of me to stay
If you love me let me know
If you don't then let me go
I can't take another minute
Of a day without you in it
If you love me let it be
If you don't then set me free
Take the chains away
That keep me loving you
The arms that open wide to hold me closer
The hands that run their fingers through my hair
The smile that says 'hello, it's good to see you'
Anytime I turn around to find you there
It's this and so much more tht make me love you
What else can I do to make you see
You know you have whatever's mine to give you
But a love affair for one can never be
If you love me let me know
If you don't then let me go
I can't take another minute
Of a day without you in it
If you love me let it be
If you don't then set me free
Take the chains away
That keep me loving you
Take the chains away
That keep me loving you
Loving you
13.I Honestly Love You
Written:Peter Allen/Jeff Barry
Arranger:John Farrar/Alan Hawkshaw/Nick Ingman
Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know
I love you
I honestly love you
You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you should realize
That it's coming from my heart and not my head
I love you
I honestly love you
I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all
But this feeling doesn't come along everyday
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you've got the chance to say
I love you
I honestly love you
If we both were born
In anoother place and time
This moment might be ending in a kiss
But there you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this
I love you
I honestly love you
I honestly love you
