When tempting eyes across the road
Said to me I'd love to be with you
I'm not tempted for a moment
I just think about my woman
The baby calls me on the phone
Telling me I need to hurry home
Well the hurrying is easy
Because she's waiting up
With all the love I need

I prefer the moonlight
The one right little lady by my side
That's what I like
I prefer a late drive down the turn park
With the moonlight shining so brightly
Got her by my side
That's what I'd like
I prefer the moonlight

I prefer playing quiet song
She's a mother love her daughter
Moonlight dances on the water
The moon is full and so am I
I look at her and feel like I could cry
But my tears contain no sorrow
Because I know
She'll wake up by my side tomorrow

Morning, noon and night
When the feeling comes so right
Somewhere in some sky

. . .


Here we stand
Tracing the moments in our lives
Hand in hand
Facing the future of our lives
No one has ever been closer
I feel your heartbeat moving with mine.

Oh, love me, now and forever
Tell me, that you will never leave me
Now and forever stay and love me.

Face to face
I see my hope for tomorrow
Place to place
Lovely to wait for me to follow
No one could ever be nearer
Can't think of anyone else that I want to.

Love me, now and forever
Tell me, that you will never leave me
Now and forever stay and love me.

With every measure of time
There's a thought of you
And knowing I'm all you want
'Cause we make it through.

Love me, now and forever
Tell me, that you will never leave me
Now and forever stay and love me...

. . .


You must have been an angel once yourself
You know how it feels
The best things fall from the highest shelf
And break up your heels.

We were in the middle of something
We didn't understand
Our hearts that were broken
Are back in the mend.

We're doing alright, we're doing alright
Now the heartache is over
Over and done, and nobody wants
But we're doing alright.

You need a little something sometimes
But everybody does
And everyday everywhere
Something's changed.

It wasn't always this good
Somedays were few with fame
And in the heat of the night
I call your name.

We're doing alright, we're doing alright
Now the heartache is over
Over and done, and nobody wants
But we're doing alright.

Hearts beat alone just as well
Now you're rolling home, I can tell...

Kenny Rogers & Ronnie Milsap

Don't call her up, anymore
'Cause I don't wanna hear your voice
I don't wanna see your face answer her door.
Make no mistake, she's mine, she's mine.

She only knows how I feel
I only know what she's like when she needs me
Oh, how she needs me deep in the night
Make no mistake, she's mine, no, she's mine.

Don't get too close when you dance
'Cause I don't wanna hear from my friends
You were out on the town
With her in your arms.

Don't include her in your dreams
'Cause I don't wanna close my eyes
No, I don't wanna know where she goes
Each night when she leaves
Make no mistake, she's mine, no, she's mine.

Don't call her up, anymore...

. . .


Just one more day I ask
One chance to love you
I can see your face
Everywhere I go
It's in my soul.

No matter how it goes
God only knows
I get more than I deserve
Yes, it's such an easy word
Give me one more day.

And time
Is a river that rows us along
And love will deliver us
If we hold on.

So if you think
You might not trust your heart tonight
I'm never gonna drift away
I'll wait forever if you say
You'll give me one more day.

And time
Is a river that rows us along
And love will deliver us
If we hold on...

SHE'S READY FOR SOMEONE TO LOVE HER
WRITERS CHARLIE BLACK, JERRY GILLESPIE, TOMMY ROCCO


Her heart has had more knocks than a gypsy's tambourine
Yet it's worth more gold than any man has ever seen
And although no one has fallen for her like she's fallen for them
She says her heart isn't broken, it's only broken in
She's ready for someone to love her
Someone to hold her tight
Some to curl up next to when her feet get cold at night
She's weathered the whirlwind romance
Stood through the one-night stands
She's ready for someone to love her
Who'll be the lucky man
Well she has had her fill of those unfulfilling men
You know the kind that come calling never to call back again
Oh she's bound and determined not to be fooled anymore
And poor thing she'll keep that promise
The same way she kept it before
She's ready for someone to love her
Someone to hold her tight
Some to curl up next to when her feet get cold at night
She's weathered the whirlwind romance
Stood through the one-night stands
She's ready for someone to love her
Who'll be the lucky man
She's ready for someone to love her
Someone to hold her tight
Some to curl up next to when her feet get cold at night
She's weathered the whirlwind romance
Stood through the one-night stands
She's ready for someone to love her
Who'll be the lucky man
You know she's ready for someone to love her

It was six in the morning
When I made the county line
There's someone I got to talk to
I can't get it off my mind

He's just a kid
And he's in a pretty rough spot
Two dimes to make a phone call
That's about all I've got

How's my boy today?
I know it's been three weeks
But you know how far I've got to go
To make those loose ends meet

How's your mama now
With her new live-in friend
Oh, how I hate the wounds
That never seem to mend

And he says I don't call him daddy
But he takes care of things
When you pick me up on Friday
Are you gonna bring me anything?
Oh, don't worry dad, ya know
It don't matter what we do
I don't call him daddy
He could never be like you
Never be like you

God bless their little hearts
They're the ones who really pay
When mom and dad can't get along
And go their separate ways

In a way I'm glad there's someone
There to fill the empty place
Tears of understanding
Streak down a dirty face

And he says I don't call him daddy
But he takes care of things
When you pick me up on Friday
Are you gonna bring me anything?
Oh, don't worry dad, ya know
It don't matter what we do
I don't call him daddy
He could never be like you
Never be like you, be like you
Be like you

He is quite a little man
Growing up as fast as he can
And I don't get to see him
Half as much as I had planned

There's so much I need to tell him
So precious little time
A little rain on the window
In a little wave goodbye

And he says I don't call him daddy
But he takes care of things
When you pick me up on Friday
Are you gonna bring me anything?
Oh, don't worry dad, ya know
It don't matter what we do
I don't call him daddy
He could never be like you
Never be like you

I don't call him daddy
But he takes care of things
When you pick me up on Friday
Are you gonna bring me anything?
Oh, don't worry dad, ya know
It don't matter what we do
I don't call him daddy
He could never be like you
Never be like you

The moon wasn't shinning,
The stars weren't bright.
It was a rainy,
Late autumn night.

Just two old friends,
A little cafe
No false intentions,
To get in our way.

The wine wasn't flowing,
No candle light
I had no plans,
For you in my life.

There was no music,
No magic at play
But we fell in love
Anyway.

We fell in love,
In spite of the night,
So cold
And dark.

We fell in love,
The moment we touched.
I stole a kiss,
You stole my heart.

Who would believe it,
remembering how,
I didn't long to hold you
The way I do now.

I bless the heavens
each night I pray,
We fell in love
Anyway.

We fell in love
Anyway...

. . .


You can say, old things must end
You can smile and even pretend
And you can turn and walk away so easily
But you can't say, you don't love me anymore.

You can dream of what might have been
You can cry for what won't pass again
And you can say there's every reason you should leave
But you can't say, you don't love me anymore.

You can say I'm right you're wrong
You can make your plans to find somebody else
But I can't believe you can carry on
We know what should be said
But you can't find the words instead.

You say, old things must end
You can smile and even pretend
And you can turn and say you're leaving me for good
But you can't say, you don't love me anymore.

And you can turn and say you're leaving me for good
But you can't say, you don't love me
First just say, you don't love me anymore...
