1.The Bridge Washed Out (1965)

The bridges washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the
other side

When I awoke this morning the rain was a pouring down
I was gonna wade a little river just over the bridge across town
Now I'm running up and down the river and my nerves are driving
me wild
Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on
the other side

Rain, old rain, stop a falling dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride is a waiting and the wedding bells are
starting to chime
I can't kiss and hold her and it's driving me put of my mind
Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on
the other side

Well I got one foot in the water and one foot solid on the
ground
I'll try to swim that raging old river but I know if I try I'll
drown
There's not a boat around me they've all gone out with the tide
And the bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the
other side

Rain, old rain, stop a falling dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride is a waiting and the wedding bells are
starting to chime
I can't kiss and hold her and it's driving me put of my mind
Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on
the other side

Yes the bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the
other side


2.Four Walls

Out where the bright lights are glowing you're drawn like a moth
to a flame
You laugh while the wine's overflowing while I sit and whisper
your name
Four walls to hear me four walls to see four walls too near me
closing in on me

Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting but my walls have nothing to say
I'm made for love not for hating but here where you left me I'll
stay
Four walls to hear me...
One night with you is like heaven and so while I'm walking this
floor
I listen for steps in the hallway and wait for your knock on my
door
Four walls to hear me...


3.I Fall To Pieces

Lyricist:Garland Perry Cochran, Harlan Howard

I fall to pieces each time I see you again
I fall to pieces, how can I be just your friend?
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget pretend we've never met

And I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces

I fall to pieces each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces, time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too the way you used to do

But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces


4.You Make Me Feel Like A Man

Lyricist:Warner H. Mc Pherson

Whenever I'm down then you come around
And you make me feel like a man

There's nothing like the touch of my woman
To make me feel warm and proud inside
Anytime I need two arms around me
Well, I found me a heaven to hide

'Cause you make me feel like a man
I light up with a touch of your hand
Whenever I'm down then you come around
And you make me feel like a man

Anytime I need two arms around me
You whisper and say I'll understand
Then it won't be very long until you've made me strong
And life is worth living again

'Cause you make me feel like a man
I light up with a touch of your hand
Whenever I'm down then you come around
And you make me feel like a man


5.She Goes Walking Through My Mind

Lyricist:B Eldridge, W Haynes, G Stewart

She goes walking through my mind
I've tried to drive away her memory
But each night it comes back to torture me
'Cause again there she is right on time
When she goes walking through my mind

She goes walking through my mind
Caring out a little each time
Her footsteps are getting louder all the time
When she goes walking through my mind

Tonight I will sleep though I'm not trying
For sleep makes me dream then I start crying
For again I get the glimpse of what was mine
When she goes walking through my mind

When she goes walking through my mind
Caring out a little each time
Her footsteps are getting louder all the time
When she goes walking through my mind


6.Rose Garden

Lyricist:Barry Harris, Joe South

I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
When you take you got to give, so live and let live or let go
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden

Well, I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
So you better think it over

Well, if sweet talking you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter

So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden

Oh, I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you
go
But there's one thing I want you to know

You better look before you leap, still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talking about

So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden


7.My Love For You

Lyricist:Warner Mcpherson

Castles were made high and mighty
And oceans were made deep and wide
We were made for each other
That's how I feel about my love for you

Up in the sky there's a rainbow
That some people say has no end
Well, this I don't know, it's true
But there's no end of my love for you

Living each moment, waiting for your touch
Praying each night you'll love me half as much

Vows that are made sometimes are broken
And someone you trust can prove untrue
But I'll never be unfaithful for you can trust in my love for
you
But you trust in my love for you


8.Help Me Make It Through The Night

Lyricist:Kris Kristofferson

Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Laying soft against your skin
Like the shadows on the wall

Come and lay down by my side
Till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care what's right or wrong
I won't try to understand
Devil worries 'bout tomorrow
'Cause tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
So help me make it through the night

Oh, it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't wanna be alone
So help me make it through the night


9.Live For The Good Times

Lyricist:Mc Pherson Warner H.

Live for the good times, live for the good times
Don't sit around and always cry the blues
You gonna wake up one morning and it'll be time to die
Turn your light on and live for the good times

Well, the good Lord's done give you everything
To make you happy
The birds and the bees and the leaves on the trees
And the love in your baby's eyes

That's why I let your hair down and try a little bit laughin'
Don't always look for the rainy days, let the sun shine for
awhile

You'd better live for the good times, live for the good times
Don't sit around and always cry the blues
You gonna wake up one morning and it'll be time to die
Turn your light on and live for the good times

There's not a day that passes, we don't grow a little bit older
And the time you live won't be regular on, money just won't buy
So why not lift your head up, get those worries off your
shoulder
'Cause everything ain't gonna be right, no matter how you try

You'd better live for the good times, live for the good times
Don't sit around and always cry the blues
You gonna wake up one morning and it'll be time to die
Turn your light on and live for the good times
