(Keith)

Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the Devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me

Saw your light from the street
As I passed by the other day
I was scared, my knees were weak
Forgot what I had come to say

Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the Devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me

Saw a man walk on water
Everybody looking on
I didn't know I was His daughter
Till both of us had come and gone

Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the Devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me

If you see me in the valley
Looking like I don't belong
You can put me in your greenest valley
I'll still be singing this same old song

Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the Devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me

(Macauley/Potger)

Tossing and turning last night I was burning
For you my love
I couldn't sleep or face one more night on my own
Somehow the wind and the rain seem to call out my name
In the still of night
The sound that I heard was your voice
And the words, oh I knew

You called me angel eyes
Child of the morning
You and I will soon be together
My darling
Angel eyes, I'll be beside you
Through the night you called me your angel eyes

Closing my eyes I could still visualize
All those golden days
In letters you write you promise we'll share them again
Oh darling nevertheless still I have to confess
That last night I cried
When a voice in the rain softly called out again
I'll be home

Don't cry my angel eyes
Child of the morning
You and I will soon be together
My darling
Angel eyes, I'll be beside you
Through the night you called me your angel eyes
Angel eyes, child of the morning
Your angel eyes

(Hawkshaw/Gosling)

I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun
The flowers were my pillow when the day's work was done
Down in the valley shone the bright neon signs
The call of the city life kept going through my mind
Oh yeah, the days of my childhood would soon be left behind

It was a Saturday morning when the snow lay on the ground
Pa said the time had come when I could move to town
So I kissed goodbye to Mama, held on tight to Papa's hand
I saw a tear in Mama's eye but I did not understand
'Cause I was just a country girl being brought up on the land

Goodbye Mama, let me see you smile
Wipe away that teardrop from your eye
I won't forget that I'm a country girl
I got to go, but I hate to say goodbye
So long, Papa, I'll be seeing you
But I'll be coming home again someday
No, I won't forget that I'm a country girl
A country girl, you know I'll always stay

I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun
The flowers were my pillow when the day's work was done
Down in the valley shone the bright neon signs
Yet I know where I belong, I got my peace of mind
Oh yeah, I was born a country girl and that just suits me fine

Goodbye Mama, let me see you smile
Wipe away that teardrop from your eye
I won't forget that I'm a country girl
I got to go, but I hate to say goodbye
So long, Papa, I'll be seeing you
But I'll be coming home again someday
No, I won't forget that I'm a country girl
I'll come back to you, believe me
I won't forget that I'm a country girl
A country girl, you know I'll always stay

(Branson/Mindel)

There's only one way to go when you're up too high
You've gotta come down; you've gotta come down
And there's only one way of saying the word goodbye
You've gotta come down; you've gotta come down

You've gotta be sure you're not throwing your life away
You know I can say you'll regret it someday

But someday, many tears and far away
There's gonna be something that's gonna make you want to stay
And if someday you should wake and want me near
I'll still be here

There's only one thing to do when you reach the end
You've gotta let go; you've gotta let go
And there's only one scene when it's all pretend
You've gotta let go; you've gotta let go

You've gotta be sure you're not throwing your life away
You know I can say you'll regret it someday

And you know that someday, when there's no one sleeping on your mind
You're gonna wake up and see tomorrow isn't hard to find
And if years don't heal the memories you feel
I'll still be here
Someday
And if someday you should wake and want me near
I'll still be here
Someday

(B. Wilson/T. Asher)

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
There'd be no need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I feel about you

If you should ever leave me
My life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
God only knows what I feel about you



. . .



(Saker/Leathwood/Sulsh)

Loving you, loving you ain't easy
But I don't mind if I can stay here by your side

Every lonely road you walk along
I'll be there too
Just say the word love
And I would follow you
Every lonely road you walk along
I'd walk along with you
If only you would show me that you care

Loving you, loving you ain't easy
But I keep the pain inside and try to take it in my stride
Loving you, loving you ain't easy
But I don't mind if I can stay here by your side

Won't you stop and take a look at me
Tell me what you see
Someone who's always there when everything goes wrong
Won't you stop and take a look at me
Must I always be
The kind of fool that you keep hanging on

Loving you, loving you ain't easy
But I keep the pain inside and try to take it in my stride
Loving you, loving you ain't easy
But I don't mind if I can stay here by your side

There's been so many times I've cried
But you won't know it
Cause baby I don't show it

Ooohh
Loving you ain't easy
But I keep the pain inside and try to take it in my stride
Loving you, loving you ain't easy
But I don't mind if I can stay here by your side

(Farrar/Robinson)

I've seen so many smiling faces today
But just what lies behind them I can't see
I've lived my life in many places, you see
Now I don't know just where I wanna be

'Cause home ain't home anymore, no more
My heart ain't here anymore, no more

The years have opened up a canyon it seems
A canyon deep and wide that I can't cross
And though my nomad days have opened my eyes
I've learned that every game must bear a loss

'Cause home ain't home anymore, no more
My heart ain't here anymore, no more

Don't be afraid to tell me
That things are not the same
I'm older now and wiser
I know how things can change

'Cause home ain't home anymore, no more
My heart ain't here anymore, no more

(Greenaway/Stephens)

Yesterday it was all over
Thought I'd lost the love of my life
He took a one-way ticket on an east-bound train
Told me he was never coming back again
But I just got a telegram that read

Hey
Have love--will travel
That's all it had to say
Have love--will travel
He's on his way
I'm happy now
Have love--will travel
Four little words that mean so much
He knows I need him
So he's coming home

Hurry on down to the station
He'll be on the 9:49
Had to get my hair done it was such a mess
And every cent I had went on this brand new dress
Today I got a telegram that read

Hey
Have love--will travel
That's all it had to say
Have love--will travel
He's on his way
I'm happy now
Have love--will travel
Four little words that mean so much
He knows I need him
So he's coming home

Have love--will travel
That's all it had to say
Have love--will travel
He's on his way
I'm happy now
Have love--will travel
Four little words that mean so much
He knows I need him
So he's coming home
He's coming home

. . .



(Peter Allen/Jeff Barry)

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know

I love you
I honestly love you

You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you should realize
That it's coming from my heart and not my head

I love you
I honestly love you

I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all
But this feeling doesn't come along everyday
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you've got the chance to say

I love you
I honestly love you

If we both were born
In anoother place and time
This moment might be ending in a kiss
But there you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this

I love you
I honestly love you
I honestly love you



. . .



(Findon/Wilkins)

And there'll be hands, hands across the sea
Touching everybody, joining you and me

If we could build a new horizon
I'd like to see some changes made
When nations hear the voice of reason
And all the world live unafraid

And there'll be hands, hands across the sea
People joined as one, innocent and free
And we'll have love, love and sympathy
Touching everybody, joining you and me

If we could share that new tomorrow
You with your troubles, me with mine
Then we could face the world together
With open heart and easy mind

And there'll be hands, hands across the sea
People joined as one, innocent and free
And we'll have love, love and sympathy
Touching everybody, joining you and me
Hands across the sea
Hands across the sea

River's Too Wide

(Valerie Avon/Harold Spiro)

Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love

All the kids like ten tin soldiers in a row
Followed hand in hand
Sister Anna carrying the banner for the Sally Annie band
Singing songs of praise and glory
We all learn to love their story
Good things are coming to you
Glory, glory hallelujah

Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living and giving
Long, long live love

On a wet day, dry day, great to be alive day
Brother takes the stand
Cymbals ringing, everybody singing with the Sally Annie band
Just a band of happy people
Teaching, preaching love is equal
When you feel the spirit move you
Glory, glory hallelujah

Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love, love, love, love, love
Ohhh
Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living forgiving
Long, long live love
