2.Fools Thin Air(Album Version)


3.A Handful Of Dust(Album Version)

Break us down by our elements and you might think he failed
We're not copper for one penny or even iron for one nail
And a dollar would be plenty to but twenty of us
Until true love si added to these handfuls of dust

Handful of dust, handful of dust
Sums up therichest and poorest of us
True love makes priceless the worthless
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust

However small thought out worth may be when shared
Between two hearts
Is even more than it would ever be, measured on its own apart
And our half what it could be is now twice what it was
When true love is aded to these handfuls of dust

Handful of dust, handful of dust
Sums up therichest and poorest of us
True love makes priceless the worthless
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust

Handful of dust, handful of dust
Sums up therichest and poorest of us
True love makes priceless the worthless
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust


4.Half Over You(Album Version)

I've seen rock bottom
And I've sailed to the top
Now I'm somewhere in between
Believe that it's over
But sometimes still blue
There's no place so lonely
As bein' half over you

And I don't feel much like climbin'
And I don't want to fall
Here in the middle I don't feel much at all
I've almost excepted the fact that we're through
And there's no place so lonely
As being half over you

I wasn't as bad off
When first you were gone
Misery kept me company
Then I remember the heights
We've been to
There's no place so lonely
As being half over you

And I don't feel much like climbin'
And I don't want to fall
Here in the middle I don't feel much at all
I've almost excepted the fact that we're through
And there's no place so lonely
As being half over you

There's no place so lonely
As being half over you...

9.Big Chance(Album Version)

Well, there's a boy down Shelby Gap
And I like sittin on his lap
I'm his gal and he's my man
We been makin weddin plans
Brought him home to meet my ma
She raised Cain and dropped her jaw
Girl, you're crazy as a bat, you ain't gonna marry that
Looka here mama, looka here daddy
This is my true love, we're gonna get married
Ain't a gonna hem-haw, ain't a gonna tarry
This is my big chance, we're gonna get married
Oh, mama, daddy, can't you see
Holler's closin in on me
Cousins pourin down like rain
They're runnin out of given names
It's so crowded I can't breathe
You need one less mouth to feed
Forty dozen here at home
You won't miss me when I'm gone

Looka here mama, looka here daddy
This is my true love, we're gonna get married
Ain't a gonna hem-haw, ain't a gonna tarry
This is my big chance, we're gonna get married

Oh, he's the prettiest in these hills
I don't hitch him, some gal will
You just messed up my big chance
For married bliss and true romance
Two things y'all don't realize
Shelby boys is mighty shy
And courtin life is extra hard
If I can't keep em in the yard
Oh, another one gone


10.When The Last Curtain Falls(Album Version)


11.Blue Memories(Album Version)

When I close my eyes
I almost see, the way you look
When you were
Standing next to me

And I stil feel you holdin me tight
Oh, I can hear the laughter
And all the words
You whishpered in the night

Picture this and paint it blue
A phototgraph of me and you
Smile has faded with the years
Washed away by all the tears
And when I look
All I see are blue memories

Oh, how I remember
The time, there was
Love in your heart
And that love was mine

If I could turn it all round again
We'd be lyin side by side
And things would be the way
They were back then

Picture this and paint it blue
Photograph of me and you
Smile has faded with the years
Washed away by all the tears
And when I look
All I see are blue memories
Picture this and paint it blue
A phototgraph of me and you
Smile has faded with the years
Washed away by all the tears
And when I look
All I see are blue memories
Blue memories, blue memories


12.You Burned The Bridge(Album Version)


13.Bramble And The Rose(Album Version)


14.Feelings Of Love(Album Version)

I leave you with something you can't understand
You can't buy or sell it or hold it in your hands
It's greater than is world of ours or the heavens above
I leave you with feelings of love

It's as free as the wild wind as gentle as a lamb
It fills the angels with envy, it's given fre to man
Gives courage to the lion, peace to the dove
I leave you with feelings of love

Feelings of love are what make my love real
Feelings of love are the best things to feel
You gave it to me freely, now I leave it with you
I leave you my feelings of love

It gives man to a woman, gives a woman to her man
It makes friends out of enemy's, it makes our hearts join hands
You gave it to me freely, now I leave it with you
I leave you my feelings of love


15.Diamond In My Crown(Album Version)
