STAY FOR JUST A WHILE, STAY AND LET ME LOOK AT YOU
IT's BEEN SO LONG I HARDLY KNEW YOU' STANDING IN THE DOOR
STAY WITH ME A WHILE' I ONLY WANT TO TALK TO YOU
WE'VE TRAVELED HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD TO FIND OURSELVES AGAIN

SETEMBER MORN
WE DANCED UNTIL THE NIGHT BECAME A BRAND NEW DAY
TWO LOVERS PLAYING SCENES FROM SOME ROMANTIC PLAY
SEPTEMBER MORNING STILL CAN MAKE ME FEEL THAT WAY

LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE
WHY YOU'VE BECOME A GROWN UP GIRL
I STILL CAN HEAR YOU CRYING
IN THE CORNER OF YOUR ROOM
AND LOOK HOW FAR WE'VE COME
SO FAR FROM WHERE WE USED TO BE
BUT NOT SO FAR THAT WE'VE FORGOTTEN
HOW IT WAS BEFORE

SEPTEMBER MORN
DO YOU REMEMBER HOW WE DANCED THAT NIGHT AWAY
TWO LOVERS PLAYING SCENES FROM SOME ROMANTIC PLAY
SEPTEMBER MORNING STILL CAN MAKE ME FEEL THAT WAY

SETEMBER MORN
WE DANCED UNTIL THE NIGHT BECAME A BRAND NEW DAY
TWO LOVERS PLAYING SCENES FROM SOME ROMANTIC PLAY
SEPTEMBER MORNING STILL CAN MAKE ME FEEL THAT WAY

SETEMBER MORN
WE DANCED UNTIL THE NIGHT BECAME A BRAND NEW DAY
TWO LOVERS PLAYING SCENES FROM SOME ROMANTIC PLAY
SEPTEMBER MORNING STILL CAN MAKE ME FEEL THAT WAY

SEPEMBER MORNING STILL CAN MAKE ME FEEL THAT WAY

Mama don't know
What the preacher man know
But the preacher man know it all right
Papa don't know
What the preacher man do
When the preacher man come out tonight
"Heal Me"
She said, "Heal me, make me whole."

Here he comes
Well he's talking to the weak
Here he comes
Don't he touch you when he speaks?

Mama don't know
What the preacher man know
But the preacher man know it all right
Papa don't care
What the preacher man say
If the preacher man sayin' it right
"Heal Me"
LyricsShe said, "Heal me, make me whole."

Here he comes
Well he's talking to the weak
Here he comes
Don't he touch you when he speaks?

Sweet Lord, we rejoice
And give ourselves to thee
True, Light, Glory and Grace

Make us see
"Heal Me, Heal Me, Heal Me, Heal Me,
Heal Me, Heal Me, Heal Me, Heal Me"

Here he comes
Well he's talking to the weak
Here he comes
Don't he touch you when he speaks?
Don't he touch you when he speaks?
Don't he touch you when he speaks?

She was only seventeen
And was every young boys dream
The blue-eyed beauty queen of the day
Broke some hearts, including mine
But everyone knew
She was just that kind

Seems like all her dreams were spent
On the boys that came and went
But the promises
Were all they left behind
She was good, and she was mine
But everyone knew
She was just that kind

Hey they say:
"We're gonna take her out to Hollywood.
Gonna make her like a movie star
Maybe put her in a picture show"

Took her chance
LyricsShe paid her dime
And maybe I loved her
'Cause she was that kind

She was gone by twenty-one
When most lives have just begun
There was so much left undone
Along the way

She took her chance
She paid her dime
Oh you gotta be strong
To be that kind

Yeah they said:
"We're gonna take her out to Hollywood.
Gonna make you like a movie star
We gonna put you in a picture show"

Wasted life
Waste of time
But I couldn't of loved her
If she wasn't that kind
No I couldn't of loved her
If she wasn't that kind

Let it ride
Let it ride
Let it ride
Let it ride
Let it ride
Let it ride
Let it ride

Let it ride
Let it ride
Let it ride
Let it ride
Let it ride
Let it ride
Let it ride

I'm singing this song
For the men in your prisons and jails
The junkies and juicers
And every good man that fails
And for every outlaw
Who's got no place left to go
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord
He loves you so

And I'm singing this song
For the leaders of every land
For every political
And every military man
And for every mother and child
In their kingdoms below
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord
He loves you so
Lyrics
Ain't it sad that we're doing so bad

I'm singing this song
With a feeling that's deep in my heart
And I wish that I could tear down
The walls that keep us apart
And I wish I could tear down
The walls so the feelings could grow
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord
He loves you so

The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord
He loves you so

Ain't it sad that we're doing so bad

Ready for a brand new beat

In this cold world
No matter where I go
The crowds are all the same

To them I'm just
A pebble in the sand
A face without a name
Nobody gives a hang
For what I say or do
But you

And in the shelter of your arms
I find peace and comfort and care
For I am wanted there

In this cold world
You struggle to survive
And sometimes
You can fall
You think someone
Would lend a helping hand
LyricsThey'd sooner see you crawl
But just when life itself
Seems more than I can bear
You're there

And in the shelter of your arms
I can find strength and safety and then
I rise and start again

Just give me one good reason
To go on living
To keep on trying
For what I ask you, for what
If not for you
And all your love to see me through

But just when life itself
Seems more than I can bear
You're there
And in the shelter of your arms
I can find strength and safety
And then
I rise and start again


. . .



I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Paper houses made to stand with paper nails
That's all I thought that love could ever be

What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine
I got rain

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in your mind
I'm in love
And I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
Not if I tried

Thought that love
Was more or less a givin' thing
LyricsSeems the more I gave the less I got
Like a flower that grows,
Love's like a living thing
Living things don't like to be forgot
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face
I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I'm in love
Yeah I'm a believer

Loneliness
Well it's the coat you wear
It's a deep shade of blue
And it's always there

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love

Emptiness
It's the place you're in
With no more to lose but no more to win

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love

Lonely,
Without you, baby
LyricsOh, I need you
I can't go on

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore

The night was clear
And the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down

I was standing on the corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
And he was barkin' up at two men
Who were gamblin' in the dark

It was Stagger Lee and Billy
Two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw seven,
Billy swore that he threw eight

Stagger Lee told Billy,
"I can't let you get away with that",
"Well you have won all my money
And my brand new Stetson hat"
Stagger Lee he ran home
Went and he got his forty-four
Said "I'm goin' to the barroom
LyricsJust to pay that debt I owe"

Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee
Said "I'm goin' to the barroom
Just to pay that debt I owe"

Stagger Lee went to the barroom
He stood across the barroom door
He said "Now nobody move"
And he pulled his forty-four
"Stagger Lee" cried Billy,
"Oh please don't you take my life."
"I got me three little children
And a very sickly wife."

Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee
"I got me three little children
And a very sickly wife"

Stagger Lee shot Billy,
Oh he shot that poor boy so bad
Till the bullet came through Billy
And went right through
The bartender's glass
While I was standing on the corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
And he was barkin' up at two men
Who were gamblin' in the dark

Go Baby
Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee
And he was barkin' up at two men
Who were gamblin' in the dark

Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee
Said "I'm goin' to the barroom
Just to pay that debt I owe"
