1.The first time ever I saw your face
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love
To the dark and the empty skies.
--- Instrumental ---
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command.
--- Instrumental ---
The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heartbeat close to mine
And I thought our joy would be the world
And would last 'til the end oif time, my love
And would last 'til the end oif time.
Oh the first time ecver I saw your face
Your face, your face, your face...

And I couldn't love you more than the way that I'm loving you
now
I'm growing used to loving you and having you around
I don't recall a time you let me down
And when you're here beside me to love me and to guide me
I'm amazed at the world, that I have found
And I feel the feeling growing stronger
And every day I seem to love you more

Time is sure passin' slow, Lord it's only half past ten
One too many times tonight, you just crossed my mind again
I just can't help but wonder why we had that final fight
And if we hadn't given up, I wonder where we'd be tonight
It's just about all that I can do, to keep from pickin' up the
phone
'Cause I'm afraid that if you answer, I might find you're not
alone
I can't stand the thought that someone else, could make your
world seem right
If we were still together girl, wonder where we'd be tonight
How would it be, would we, still love the way you used to
Would you believe in me, could I still be inside the heart of
you?
Would you take me in your lovin' arms and make everything all
right
If we were still hangin' on, wonder where we'd be tonight
I just can't get you off my mind, God I wonder where you are
tonight
31.If you're gonna do me wrong
There's a closet full of dresses that I bought you Here's the
keys to the new car in the drive And before you leave our room
Put on your best perfume If you're gonna do me wrong, do it
right Oh the next time the phone rings
I won't answer I don't want to be the fool
I was tonight I don't want to know the truth
I don't want to see the proof If you're gonna do me wrong,
Honey do it right If you're gonna break my heart all to pieces
Just walk right out and leave me And end it all tonight Take off
your wedding band When he takes you by the hand If you're gonna
do me wrong, do it right Take off your wedding band When he
takes you by the hand If you're gonna do me wrong, do it right
32.I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
Some bright morning when this life is over, I'll fly away
To a land on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
When the shadows of this life have grown, I'll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
Oh how glad and happy when we meet, I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away
To a land where joy will never end, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallellujah by and by, I'll fly away
33.If Jesus comes tomorrow
If Jesus comes tomorrow to spend some time with you
Would you answer all His questions or lie to hide the truth
Would you welcome Him with open arms or even let Him in
If Jesus comes tomorrow what then
If Jesus calls your number could you leave today
Are you ready to lay down your worldly goods and walk away
Would it take a month of Sundays just to tell Him of your sin
If Jesus comes tomorrow what then
If the sky turns black as midnight in the middle of the day
And somehow you knew that Jesus would soon be on His way
Would you have to beg forgiveness or could you reach out and
take His hand
If Jesus comes tomorrow what then
34.The Number
I was pourin' my heart out, to a stranger at the bar
We talked about what happens, when a man goes too far
Then he mentioned this woman, he knew across town
Oh, he said she was somethin' to behold in a gown
She knows how to hold you, like no woman can
She's pure satisfaction, to a sad lonely man
When the guilt in my conscience, had packed up and gone
He gave me her number and I went to the phone
My whole world just came to the end of the line
'Cause the number he gave me, was mine
I wanted to hurt him, with all that I had
Oh, but I knew it was my fault that she turned out bad
God knows I wanted to lay down and die
'Cause the number he gave me, was mine
Oh, the number he gave me, was mine
35.Slow healing heart
36.Who I came here to forget
37.Stone cold heart
It's over this time, it's the end of the line
And when you awake I'll be gone
It's plain now to see, there's no room for me
In a heart that's made of stone
There may come a day the world blows away
And mountains will crumble apart
But I know too well, all the fires of hell
Cannot melt your stone cold heart
Lyin' close to you, turns me blue
When you turn away from my arms
Love is dyin' to live, and I'm willin' to give
But your heart has turned to stone
There may come a day the world blows away
And mountains will crumble apart
But I know too well, all the fires of hell
Cannot melt your stone cold heart
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
38.I've got a heart full of you
39.Praying
They were prayin'
Prayin' for someone like me
Not long ago, I was thinkin' of home
And I wondered if Mama was there all alone
I thought I'd drop by, as I had before
But the sound from within made me stop at the door
She was prayin', a sound that the world seldom hears
Prayin' her words were pleading and clear
The sound of her voice, as she spoke my name
Brought tears to my eyes, my heart filled with shame
She was prayin', prayin' for someone like me
Walkin' one night, I felt so alone
My heart was so heavy from the trouble I've known
I hadn't noticed, a church that was near
'Til the sound from within seem to fill the air
They were prayin', a sound that the world seldom hears
Prayin', the children that God loves so dear
Outside in the darkness, I could not see
But I could picture them down on their knees
Prayin', prayin' for someone like me
40.Dead from the heart on down
My friends all came around to say goodbye
And to see if there was something they could do
But they knew from the tears that filled my eyes
There was just one way to get me over you
They may as well just lay my soul to rest
And place pretty flowers on my chest
In my head the world still turns around
But I'm dead from the heart on down
Take me in that long black limousine
To the church yard on the other side of town
Just lay me down with all my shattered dreams
'Cause I'm dead from the heart on down
You may as well just lay my soul to rest
And place pretty flowers on my chest
In my head the world still turns around
But I'm dead from the heart on down
Yes, I'm dead from the heart on down
41.Rainbows and roses
You're as warm as you are pretty
And you feel so good to hold
Every inch of you a lady
You're a comfort to my soul
You're my rainbows and roses
You're all I ever need to see me through
You're my rainbows and roses
And like a rose there's only one of you
You make lovin' you so easy
Just the way it ought to be
Heaven knows I love you Babe
You mean all the world to me
You're my rainbows and roses
You're all I ever need to see me through
You're my rainbows and roses
And like a rose there's only one of you
You're my rainbows and roses
42.What a price I've paid
My friends try to tell me
To just let you go
But girl that ain't easy
You're still raisin' hell with my soul
Chorus
They say that love, is, blind
I guess they're right, this time
I nearly lost, my, mind
When I lost you
V2
And I was so, afraid
I'd never find, my way
But what a price, I've, paid
To [love you
V3
You're one in a million
So hard to forget
And if time does the healin'
It ain't done a thing for me yet
Repeat Chorus
Repeat V2
43.Chip off the chip off the old block
44.Dim lights thick smoke
Chorus:
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home loving man.
A home and little children mean nothing to you
A house filled with love and a husband so true
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet
The only home you know is that bar down the street.
Chorus:
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home loving man.
Drinking and dancing, to a honky-tonk band
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Go run and have your fun, you think you played it smart
I'm sorry for you and your honky-tonk heart.
Chorus:
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home loving man...
45.We must have been out of our minds
We said our goodbye long ago never thinking we'd miss each other
so all the memories we must leave behind or we will just go out
of our minds
I thought i loved another not you oh, how foolish i felt the
same too
They both turned out to be the wrong kind ah we must have been
out of our minds
Lets forgive and forget the life we've known and cast aside all
the seeds we have sown surely they can forgive us in time oh we
must have been out of our minds
Did it just turn out to be the wrong time or did we just go out
of our minds
46.Back in the swing of things
47.For a minute there
Thought that you and I were forever.
Until tonight I never felt alone. And though you never mentioned
you were going.
I felt a chill go running through my bones
Across the room in silent conversation. I heard every word you
didn't say. Lets go to sleep pretend this never happened.
Tomorrow you won't feel so far away.
For a minute there a part of you was leaving. I saw that far
away look in your eyes.
For a minute there my heart almost stopped beating. For a minute
there I thought you said good by. For a Minute there I felt my
world was ending.
For a minute there I thought you said good by.
48.I know what it's like
49.Toe to Toe with the devil
50.A better time to say goodbye
51.All the way thru
Like the sun that shine's through our window
Like the river that run's through our town
The only way that I can get close enough to you
Is to hold you 'till you come all the way through
Like the wind that blow's through the valley
Like the soft breeze that blow's through your hair
The only way that I can get close enough to you
Is to hold you 'till you come all the way through
Close enough I want to be close enough
To share each breath you breath
The only way that I can get close enough to you
Is to hold you 'till you come all the way through
Like the moon that shine's through the darkness
Like the true love that flow's through your veins
The only way that I can get close enough to you
Is to hold you 'till you come all the way through
Close enough I want to be close enough
To share each breath you breath
The only way that I can get close enough to you
Is to hold you 'till you come all the way through
I'll never be satisfied just by standin' close to you
I wanta hold you 'till you come all the way through
52.Dream of me
My life on the road has always been hard on me and you
And every time we say goodbye, it gets harder to do
But when I'm far away somewhere alone and the missin' you starts
All I got to do is picture you and I can feel you in my heart
So dream of me every time you get to feelin' blue
Dream of me and I'll be dreaming of you
I've been a lot of places but there's just no place like home
And I'm always on my way back to you every minute that I'm gone
So when you get to feelin' lonely just remember we won't always
be apart
Close your eyes and think of me and you can feel me in your
heart
So dream of me every time you get to feelin' blue
Dream of me and I'll be dreaming of you
So dream of me every time you get to feelin' blue
Dream of me and I'll be dreaming of you
53.Fire in our bedroom
Seems like everybody's slipping around with someone else
But we ain't worried about no one but us
There's a whole lot of cheating going on when you got no one to
hold
But we never let each other get that cold
There's a fire in our bedroom
And it burns burns burns day and night
And the flames are getting higher
But just leave it alone everything's gonna be alright
Everybody's wondering how we keep our love so warm
We stay wrapped up in each other's arms
And they talk about that big ol' house with icy window panes
But they don't know our bedroom's up in flames
I said leave it alone everything's gonna be alright
54.Friday night feeling
I watched her pack her worn out suitcase
Like so many times before
Her voice still echoes down the hallway
I won't be coming back no more
Five nights a week I kept her happy
We lived in perfect harmony
But our trouble starts on Friday
That feeling takes control of me
It's that Friday night feeling
That I can't seem to control
Pretty ladies and sweet music
It's down deep in my soul
And this feeling won't leave me
Till Sunday morning comes
Oh this Friday night feeling
It won't let me go home
I just stopped in to cash my paycheck
Thought I drink one then go home
Then I saw that good looking lady
Setting at the bar alone
Well she had that look of needing someone
Felt that feeling coming on strong
Oh this Friday night feeling
Just won't let me go home
55.How can I believe in you
Lying hear with my head on my shoulders
That used to be my place to dream
Now it only make the cold nights colder
And I'm afraid of what our future brings
Holding you like holding a stranger
Ah we're becoming strangers, and girl its killing me
You ask me to believe that it's not over, Ah but how can I
believe in you when you'll be leaving me
Anymore when you tell me you love me
Somehow it just don't feel the same
And I cant help believing there's another
cause your been whispering in your dreams
Holding you like holding a stranger
Ah we're becoming strangers, and girl its killing me
You ask me to believe that it's not over,
Ah but how can I believe in you when you'll be leaving me
Holding you like holding a stranger
Ah we're becoming strangers, and God its killing me
You ask me to believe that it's not over, Ah but How can I
believe in you when you'll be leaving me
How can I believe in you when you'll be leaving me
56.The other side of life
Praise God I feel like singing
I'm on the other side of life now
On a bed with sorrow and tears for my love ones
Oh I wish I could tell them all the joy that I feel
Though my body is weary my soul is up lifted
My sins are forgiven and my Jesus is near
Repeat #1
Though my eyes are dim I can see heaven clearly
Though my voice grows feeble I will sing just the same
In my heart there's a song as I see the gates open
I'll sing forever in His joyous refrain
57.Maybe then I'll be over you
I still love you though I should hate you
After all you put me through
I'm still living and I'm forgiving
But not forgetting the bitter truth
When the roll is called up yonder
When this life is over and through
When they lay me six feet under
Maybe then I'll be over you
I see lightning and I hear thunder
In my heart and in my mind
Now there's a dark cloud I'm standing under
And it's raining from my eyes
When the roll is called up yonder
When this life is over and through
And they lay me six feet under
Maybe then I'll be over you
When they lay me six feet under
Surely then I'll be over you
58.This ain't my first rodeo
You say you're mama called and you must go She's down
in the bed and needs you so And you don't know if
you'll be coming home tonight or not But, honey ain't
you're mama sick a lot Lately, you're head hurts
every night Could it be you wear your cloths too tight Since you
don't seem to hear a thing I say or do Then I know
there's nothing I can do for you This ain't my
first rodeo This ain't the first time this old
cowboy's been throwed...This ain't the first
I've seen this dog and pony showThis ain't my
first rodeoThis ain't the first I've seen this
dog and pony show
This ain't my first rodeo You're telling me you lost you're
wedding band
Somehow you say it slipped right off you're handAnd
when I asked about those boxes stacked there by the door
You say it's just some old things you don't wear no
more I didn't make it all the way through school
But my mama...didn't raise any fool I may not be the
Einstein... of our timeBut honey, I'm not dumb and
I'm not blind
This ain't my first rodeoThis
ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed
...This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony
show Honey,This ain't my first rodeo
59.The wettest dry county
60.Three or Four times a day
Drink one or two, three or four times a day
As needed for pain, that's what Doc. Tender had to say
Here comes the hurtin', medication's on its way
It might not kill the pain, but it can make it go away
A few pints a shots, really hit's the spot
It's been known to bring a fever down when it moves up the scale
Doc. Tender swears that it will keep all the blues away
So I drink one or two, three or four times a day
I'm not the kind that drinks 'till I drown
I just pour it down when missing you comes back around
Doc. Tender sais it'll keep all the heartaches away
So I drink one or two, three or four times a day
When I get the chills, he don't prescribe no pills
They don't mix with alcohol at all, they just get in the way
I listen to Doc. Tender and every word he has to say
So I drink one or two, three or four times a day
I'm not the kind that drinks 'till I drown
I just pour it down when missing you comes back around
Doc. Tender swears it'll keep all the heartaches away
So I drink one or two, three or four times a day
Doc. Tender swears it'll keep all the heartaches away
So I drink one or two, three or four times a day
61.Let's don't and say we did
62.What I threw away
63.Where do we take it from here
I remember the first time that I touched you
And it took me where I wanted to be
Now that we both know the end is drawin' near
Where do we take it from here
I don't ever want to say, you used to love me
And you just said you felt the same way too
And if we're gonna take the love have and make it reappear
Where do we take it from here
We're standing at a crossroad, we never thought we'd find
The though of being here like this, just never crossed my mind
We took love for granted one too many years
Where do we take it from here
I remember back when always meant for ever
When everything we said came from the heart
But now that we brought it from laughter down to tears
Where do we take it from here
We're standing at a crossroad, we never thought we'd find
The though of being here like this, just never crossed my mind
We took love for granted one too many years
Where do we take it from here
Now that we brought it from laughter down to tears
Where do we take it from here
64.Would these arms be in your way
Would you like to hear
I love you all the time
And if you couldn't turn around
Without touching would you mind?
You know there's something missing
'Round your waist
Tell me
Would these arms be in your way?
Would you mind another heart
Beating for you
Two ears that listen
You can talk to.
Kisses filled with feeling
On your face
Now tell me
Would these arms be in your way?
Would you mind another heart
Beating for you
Two ears that listen
You can talk to.
Kisses filled with feeling
On your face
Now tell me
Would these arms be in your way?
Now tell me
Would these arms be in your way?...
65.Wings of faith
66.Dixie's on my mind
67.Streets of Gold
68.Hertbreak hall of pain
69.I'll understand
How can you be too blind, to read between the lines
Why can't you see the storm ahead that's slowly movin' in
To your blue skies
He tells you he's your rock, and you can lean on him
While he builds you castles in the sand
And writes your lovely name upon the wind
Why did you have to fall
Why did you have to call
And tell me all about your lives together
Like there's nothin' wrong at all
He makes you believe
His love will never end
While he builds you castles in the sand
And writes your lovely name upon the wind
When his castles fall, and your name disappears
If you call on me
I'll take your hand
When loneliness moves in
You're gonna need a friend, to dry your tears
And understand
I'll Understand
When his castles fall, and your name disappears
If you call on me
I'll take your hand
When loneliness moves in
You're gonna need a friend, to dry your tears
And understand
I'll Understand
Oh, I'll understand
70.I'm gonna be movin
This old world is no place for livin'
not enough care, not enough givin'
sometime clouds of sin and sorrow hide the way
but this life of stormy weather
ain't gonna be my home forever
gonna be movin' - one of these days
I'm gonna be movin' - movin' away
gonna be movin' - one of these days
when I leave this life behind me
troubles and cares are never gonna find me
gonna be movin' - one of these days
There won't be any time for cryin'
no more sickness, toil or dyin
joy awaits me in that mansion far away
when I rest from all my labor
the Lord's gonna be my next door neighbor
gonna be movin' - one of these days
I'm gonna be movin' - movin' away
gonna be movin' - one of these days
when I leave this life behind me
troubles and cares are never gonna find me
gonna be movin' - one of these days
71.I'm where a memory can die
I bet you think you're drivin' me a drinkin'
But I don't have to drink, to get you off my mind
I don't need the whiskey or those ol' neon lights
Oh, I'm where a mem'ry, can die for a night
Right now my mind is full of pretty flowers
'Cause my thoughts of you, are about to pass away
The one I'm with is just about to love you, out of sight
Oh, I'm where a mem'ry can die for a night
Candle light and soft blue eyes
And Lips that keep tellin' me everything's gonna be alright
A warm willin' body, lyin' close to mine
Oh, I'm where a mem'ry, can die for a night
A warm willin' body, lyin' next to mine
Oh, I'm where a mem'ry can die for a night

Slow burning memory keeps on burning a hole in my mind
78.The biggest little arms
79.A picture of me
(woman)
Imagne a world where, no music was played
And think of a church, with nobody was prayin
If you ever, looked up at a sky with no roof
then you've seen a picture of me without you.
(Guy)
Ohh,have you walk through a garden, where nothing was growin
