Perfect
I got to know you
though I knew you before
I thought I knew you
but I keep knowing more
The more that I know you
the more I want to show you of me
Everything's perfect
when everything's the best it can be
You tell me something
I have waited to hear
You show me that
I have nothing to fear
The more that you give me
the more my open eyes can see
Everything's perfect
'cause everything's the best it can be
Love is perfect in a way I never knew
And it's perfect
'cause I found my love in you
We both have been there
but it wasn't like this
We both connected
from the very first kiss
The more we're together
the more we'll find you and me
Everything's perfect
'cause everything's the best it can be
Yes our love is perfect
'cause our love is the best it can be

I Know You Know
I know you want me I know you do
I know you know I know it too
I know you need me I know it's true
I know you know I need you too
I could have everything
this whole world has to give
But it wouldn't do
Cause I know all I need is you
You know I trust you you know I do
You know I know you know it too
You know I feel it you know it's true
You know I know you feel it too
You could find all the things
a lifetime has to give
But it wouldn't do
Cause you know all I need is you
All my life I give to you
And I know and I know and I know
and I know
And I know and I know and I know
and I know that I do
And I know that you know it too
I know you mean it you know I do
You know I know you know it too
You know I love you I know it's true
I know you know I love you too
We could have everything
this whole world has to give
But it wouldn't do
Cause you know all I need is you

Be My Valentine
I don't have much to say
But I love you more each day
And I don't know the way
to show how I feel
But believe me my love for you is real
And I want everyone to know you're mine
Would you be my Valentine
I don't have much to give
But I know I want to live
And I don't have the means
to buy you the moon
But believe me our time is coming soon
And I know
that you're always on my mind
Would you be my Valentine
I know flowers and candy aren't enough
Let this song show you all my love
I don't have much to do
But give all I have to you
And I want you to know my love is sincere
And believe me our love will conquer fear
And I pray everything will turn out fine
Would you be my Valentine

Romance In My Heart
I don't send you flowers
to celebrate the day
And I don't take you dancing,
I guess that's just my way
I'm happy when we stay at home
with nothing much to do
It doesn't matter where or what
as long as it's with you
I don't sing you love songs
the way I did before
And I don't seem to show you
my feelings anymore
It's hard to know the reason
this change came over me
I'd give the world if I could be
the way I used to be
I guess my life is complicated
heavy on my mind
I'll be the man I want to be
if I can find the time
I don't want to scare you
with actions that I do
Just know my love grows stronger
each time that I'm with you
And one day may I show you
my soft romantic part
Just know my dear it's always here
this romance in my heart
Just know my dear it's always here
this romance in my heart

Lost
Seems that I recall when I was younger
Had the drive the will
the nerve the hunger
But these days I sit upon my laurels
Amid the mess the fuss
the fights the quarrels
And I don't know what to do
So I'm crying out to You
Won't You help me
I used to find my way when I was losing
Now today I find it all confusing
Where to go and how to find the answers
Amid the noise the crowd the songs
the dancers
And I don't know who I am
So I'm crying out again
Can't You hear me
Fallen star the sky is turning dark
Pay the price whatever the cost
Half the time I'm half insane
Look at me I'm lost
Now I'm looking for a new direction
Someone to share my love
my life affection
Change my life and
make me independent
Amid the old the now
the new amendment
And I don't know what it's for
So I'm crying out once more
Won't You find me

The Other Side
When I die gonna go to the other side
Gonna go where my Saviour calls to me
No more pain when this life
finally passes by
And I see the wonder of eternity
And my Jesus said to follow Him
Where He leads there I'll go
Even though
this world can be cold and grim
I'll be OK 'cause this I know
And I wonder will I see
all my friends and family
And I wonder if my dog will be there too
And I pray there's a Heaven
on the other side
And I pray that I'll be there with you
All my life I have been
such a worldly man
I have seen my share of sex and sin
Till the day that I found my Lord
the great I Am
And I felt my life begin again
When my Jesus died to show the way
When He speaks then I'll hear
Even so this world will soon fade away
All will be fine so have no fear
And I wonder will I see
all my friends and family
And I wonder if my dog will be there too
And I pray there's a Heaven
on the other side
And I pray that I'll be there with you
On the other side on the other side
Hmmm, on the other side
I wanna be on the other side

Love You Too
When I was young
seems I never really knew
That I would ever meet a girl like you
Show me how life can be
You and me
I never thought
that love could be so good
I hoped and prayed
but I never thought it would
Then you came into my world
What a girl
My life with you is what I need to be
Someone who loves me for just being me
And I want to say these words to you
Love you too
And as our days
slowly turn into our years
And through the laughter and
even through the tears
This my promise to you
Love you too

Summertime
Summertime in the rain
Feel the feelings again
Standing here on the edge of time
Is it real or just in my mind
Summertime still the same
Full of laughter and pain
Lying here on a grassy lawn
Wonder if love is off or on
Where were you going when I met you
Know what I'm thinking
'cause I can't forget you
Summertime in my brain
Am I going insane
Living here in a world gone cold
Love me girl as we both grow old
What are you doing this December
Wanting to love you girl is all I remember
Summertime comes and goes
Spring and fall winter flows
Showing you that you're always mine
Makes it always be summertime

Cheryl
Whoa Whoa oh Cheryl,
You’ll be my queen, I’ll be your pharaoh
You’ll be the straight, I’ll be the narrow
Whoa Cheryl my love
Whoa Whoa oh Cheryl,
You’ll be the falls, I’ll be the barrel
You’ll be the bow, I’ll be the arrow
Whoa Cheryl my love
Don’t want a Susie or a Sallie, an Erin or an Ally
A Sandy or a Mandy just won’t do
No Jane or Isabella can ever get this fella
All I really really want is you
Whoa Whoa oh Cheryl,
You’ll be the wheel, I’ll be the barrow
You’ll be the nest, I’ll be the sparrow
Whoa Cheryl my love
Don’t want a Mary or a Molly, Patty or a Polly
Tina or Catrina just won’t do
No Emily or Ella will ever get this fella
All I really really want is you
Whoa Whoa oh Cheryl,
You’ll be the wheel, I’ll be the barrow
You’ll be the nest, I’ll be the sparrow
Whoa Cheryl my love (3 times and fade)

Madeline Moone
Met a girl and she smiled at me
Asked her if she could share her tea
There's no place I would rather be
Let's go make history
First she laughed then she smiled again
Said her friends called her Madeline
Told her that I would be her friend
Open up let me in
Fell in love in the afternoon
Wedding bells would be ringing too soon
Shared a life
should have shared a tune
Me and Madeline Moone
Now the years have all passed us by
No longer us it's just she and I
Endless love that was destined to die
We said hello to say goodbye
Fell in love in the afternoon
Wedding bells would be ringing too soon
We shared a life should have shared a tune
Me and Madeline Moone
Me and Madeline Moone
Me and Madeline Madeline

Follow Me
When we met 'twas so long ago
Many things I could never know
As we grew things fell into place
I saw love written on your face
But somehow we both felt
something incomplete
Something missing between us
a certain need
So together we searched
for the missing link
Something wonderful
a most precious thing
Our desire to be one it seems
With the One who created our dreams
Found the answer to ev'ry prayer
Knowing someone is always there
And He promises life if you only believe
And He waits for His children
for you and me
And He tells us the way to be ministers
He has spoken these commanding words
Follow Me and you'll enter My Kingdom
Follow Me I will not let you down
Follow Me and My Father
I promise you'll see
All I give if you'll just follow Me
You shall live if you'll just follow Me

This Side Of Me
Why do I tell you the things that I tell you
To make you feel sad
I never thought I would say what I say
Thoughts that I've never had
But let me continue
and girl I will show you
The kind of man that I can be
And I'm sorry that sometimes I show you
This side of me
How can I show you
the things I can't show you
To show how I feel
Sometimes my mind
makes it harder to find
Like a heart made of steel
But sure as I'm living I'll try to keep giving
The love I have to give you'll see
And I'll try best I can not to show you
This side of me
Life has been hard
and times have been rough
But still I carry on
But even so I want you to know
You're my rock you're my one
How can I show you
the things I can't show you
To show how I feel
Sometimes my mind
makes it harder to find
Like a heart made of steel
But sure as I'm living I'll try to keep giving
The love I have to give you'll see
And I'll try best I can not to show you
This side of me
And I'll try best I can not to show you
This side of me

Must Be On My Way
All in all think I've lived my life
How I want or so it seems
But it's only been day to day
Not the life of my dreams
Now it's time to move on
'Cause there's little left to say
Time that I should be going home
I must be on my way
We've had laughs and we've had good times
But the laughter fades away
The world isn't black and white
Gotta have a little gray
Hate to be on my own
Hate to call it a day
But it's time to be going home
I must be on my way
Lovers come and lovers go
And sometimes they must end
Some will fade and go away
Some will stay a friend
If I see you down the road
Hope that life's been good to you
Take good care girl I wish you well
And take a part of me with you
I can't stand to be alone
Just a game I can't play
So I guess I'll just go back home
I must be on my way
So I guess I'll just go back home
I must be on my way
