Just Another Girl

 

You're treating me bad
It's making me sad to see
What you're doing to me
By treating me so cruel

 

You're doing me wrong
And it's been so long since you
Have been totally true
You treat me like a fool

 

It could be better

    it could be worse
I could be king of the world
With you as my girl
Or be riding

    in the back of a hearse

 

I'm not gonna grieve
And I won't believe anymore
Should have seen it before
You're just another girl

Me And My Woman

 

She's just a simple girl

    but to me she means the world
I guess that anyone

    could plainly se-e-ee
And though my love was hazy

    I must have been crazy
But now I see the light
'Cos me and my woman

    we're gonna get down tonight

 

She's not the kind to say

    let's pretend it'll go away
But yes she helped me

    make it through the ni-i-ight
And now there's no more grieving

    my troubles are leaving
It's gonna be alright
And me and my woman

    we're gonna get down tonight

 

And when the sun goes down

    the one I've found
I know she'll understand
And then together we at last will see
The love that's close at hand

 

She knows I'll be her friend

    and she knows until the end
At least until she tells me

    I should le-e-eave
But there'll be no bad dealing

    when love is the feeling
I won't put up a fight
'Cos me and my woman

    we're gonna get down tonight


'Cos me and my woman

    we're gonna get down tonight
'Cos me and my woman

    we're gonna get on down tonight

This One's For You

 

Well I've said a lot of words

    in my lifetime
And I'll say a whole lot more

    if I live
I'll take what I need

    when it's offered
But I've always got enough

    inside to give

 

I've sang many songs about living
With a feeling in every one I do
I've written many songs

    for many people
If you want it love this one's for you

 

Well I've played a lot of games

    without winning
But I'm not too upset when I lose
I've reached a lot of goals

    with a long long way to go
While living each day as I choose

 

I've known many

    different kinds of people
But really all I know is just a few
I've got my life to give

    to a woman who will share
If you want it love

    this one's for you

I'm Leaving You

 

I don't owe you my soul you know
I'm not gonna give it to you
I don't owe you anything
So long looks like we're through
I'm saying goodbye to you

 

I don't owe you a reason for leaving
I'm not gonna give anymore
I don't owe you anything
I'll leave as I close the door
Someday you'll know what for

 

'Cos I can't make it with a woman
Who treats me like a fool
And I can't take it from a woman
Who thinks she's so damn cool

 

I don't owe you the rest of my life
I'm not gonna tell you again
I don't owe you anything
So I'm leaving you my friend
I guess that this is the end

Big Brown Eyes

 

I could say I need you

    if you want me to
But I think you know by now

    I'm in need of you
I could say I want you

    if you so desire
Tell you what you mean to me

    and how I admire

 

Many girls have loved me and

    I've loved them all the same
'Cos it's all part of growing up

    so no one is to blame
But when you find that
    special one then you'll realize
And I have found my love in you
    my love with the big brown eyes

 

I could stay forever

    if you think I should
Nothing could be better now

    everything's so good
I could stay beside you

    till my life is through
Stay until the world may end

    if you want me too

 

Many girls have loved me and

     I've loved them all the same
'Cos it's all part of growing up

    so no one is to blame
But when you find that special one

    then you'll realize
And I have found my love in you
    my love with the big brown eyes

Give Me A Squeeze

 

Give me a squeeze

    to show me you love me
And if you please

    I'll show you I love you
I'll show you I love you
I'll show you how I love you

 

Give me your hand

    and tell me you love me
Isn't love grand

    you know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know girl that I love you

 

I don't care what others say
I don't care what others do
'Cos in my life there's no one else
Who could love me like you do

 

Give me a kiss

    and I'll know you love me
Is heaven like this

    it's so 'cos I love you
It's so 'cos I love you
It's so girl 'cos I love you

Here In Love

 

In my soul no more cloudiness

    that loneliness can bring
In my soul it's the sweet success

    of happiness I sing
To my lady to my love
Here with my baby we're in love
We're in love

 

In my heart all the emptiness

    was laid to rest I knew
In my heart I was powerless

    but so I guess were you
Be my lady be my love
Here with my baby we're in love
And you will find me here in love

 

In my mind I can't express

    the very best thereof
In my mind my thoughts caress

    your gentleness in love
You're my lady you're my love
Here with my baby we're in love
You will find me here in love

I Will Follow You
 

Such a lovely evening

    nowhere near a city
Living next to nature

    everything so pretty
I could live forever

    want to leave it never
If I may endeavor

    won't you follow me

 

Thought I'd start all over

    change my way of living
Never seem to take from

    all that I've been giving
See a new direction

    only a reflection
Of your love's affection

    I will follow you

 

I will follow you

    to the end of the world

    I'll be with you girl
You know I'll follow you

    till the end of my time
Forever you'll be mine

Only You

 

Just in case you've wonder

Only if you care

Haven't time to tell you

Almost told you there
Now and then 
Not again
A life for two to share

 

Can't begin to show you
Until myself I'm sure
Never do I jump ahead
Don't try to anymore
At the end
Remember when
It's just like once before

 

If you believe me tell me

 

Let's pretend it's yesterday
Our meeting's just begun
Very few are still around
Each looking for their one

 

Yes it's you
Only you
Until there is no sun

She'll Be There

 

There she stood

    like a vision in my mind

    and now I find she is real
You know that I feel her now

 

There she was

    with a message just for me

    I know she's not gonna leave
You know I believe what she says

 

When I think of her love

    I get lost in a cloud
When I think of her smile

    only good thoughts allowed
When I think of her now

    know I'm feeling so proud
She's a lady indeed

    let's me have what I need
And I know she'll be there

 

There we were

    like a vision out of time

    I know she's not gonna go
I want you to know she'll be there

 

When I think of her love

    I get lost in a cloud
When I think of her smile

     only good thoughts allowed
When I think of her now

    know I'm feeling so proud
She's a lady indeed

    let's me have what I need
And I know she'll be there

 

There we were

    like a vision out of time

    I know she's not gonna go
I want you to know she'll be there

Questions Of Love

 

When I think of how

    you hold my hand
Something makes me

    shiver inside
Every time I'm near you

    I feel your love
Shining down on me like the sky

 

When I think of how

    we walk alone
Something tells me

    that's how it should be
Every time I'm with you

    I understand
What the feeling is that's over me

 

Can you feel everything I do
Is it true how I wish I knew
Do you think it's really love
I'm speaking of
Let's hope it is

 

When I think of how

    we kiss goodnight
Something makes me

    smile at the world
Every time I'm dreaming

    I dream of you
Say you'll always be my only girl

It's Love

 

It's love you see

    that many men long for
Tis built on hope on thoughts

    and feelings too
A heartfelt warmth

    is at the very core
I always knew we shared it

    me and you

 

The love we feel

    has come a long long way
Through joy through tears

    through pain and happiness
It grows a little stronger ev'ry day
I feel this truth to you

    I must confess

 

This love cannot be

    built in just one night
It takes much time

    to let it ferment sweet
So let it grow

    and we will see its might
As time will let this love

   perform its feat

 

Please bear with me

    through time eternally
And I will share this love

    so thoughtfully

    than I ever did before
And forever we will be

    together you and me

Can't Hide From Love

 

You're running from love

    as you push and shove
But I will find you wherever you are

 

You're running away

    and honey I pray
That I will find you

    wherever you are

 

You're always keeping yourself

    to yourself
But don't you know that someday

    there'll be someone else

 

Wherever you go

    whoever you know
You know I'll follow

    'cos you can't hide from love

Storm Rider

 

I've never had a nickel

    but I'm never poor
'Cos everybody knows me

    and what's even more
I get respect from every one

    who sees me pass
My reputation's known

    and it's rising fast

 

I hear them as I'm riding

    down the avenue
They say hey Storm Rider

    whatcha gonna do
And the whole damn town

    gonna clear the way
They know the Storm Rider

    and they just say hey

 

Hey Storm Rider hey Storm Rider
You're really looking good

    really looking good
Hey Storm Rider hey Storm Rider
Won't you let me ride along

 

Now you can be a rider

    if you play it cool
'Cos everyone can make it

    if he's not a fool
But listen to me carefully

    I gotta warn
It really takes a rider to be

    riding the storm

 

I hear them as I'm riding

    down the avenue
They say hey Storm Rider

     whatcha gonna do
And the whole damn town

    gonna clear the way
They know the Storm Rider

    and they just say hey

 

Hey Storm Rider hey Storm Rider
You're really looking good

    really looking good
Hey Storm Rider hey Storm Rider
Won't you let me ride along

Free To Love

 

We're free you and me
With no chains to abound us
With kindness all around us
Free to love

 

We're free you and me
To always be together
And hope to be forever
Free to love

 

Love should be

    a natural thing to do
There's no way

    it can be explained to you
But my love you know

    my love is true
Just love me and we will be free

 

We're free you and me
To share all our emotions
A life of sweet devotion
Free to love

What Is Real

 

I can see you in my mind

    among my life's confusions
Are you real within my thoughts

    or one of my illusions
Are the questions in my mind

    those I cannot show
What is real and what is not

    does anybody know

 

You've got to give in each direction
Remember to take it slow
Don't make it more confusing
By letting a good thing go

 

I can feel you in my heart

    among my life's expressions
Are you real within my soul

    or one of my impressions
Are the questions in my heart

    those I cannot share
What is real and what is not

    does anybody care

Just Wanna Sleep

 

I'm so tired of running
    my body's in pain
And I'd give a million baby

    just to see you again
My mind is so heavy

    it's getting me down
Just call when you want me baby

    you know I'll be around

 

And I just wanna sleep
Wanna keep it together with you
And I just wanna sleep
Yeah yeah with you

 

My nights are so restless

    can't close my eyes
I recall what you told me baby

    I remember your lies
And I can't stop thinking

    how good it would be
To rest my head

    on your shoulder baby

    and have you here with me

 

And I just wanna sleep
Wanna keep it together with you
And I just wanna sleep
And I just wanna sleep
And I just wanna sleep
Yeah yeah yeah yeah with you

Cheer Up

 

Cheer up

    nothing can be so bad
Cheer up

    you shouldn't be looking so sad
One so beautiful

    should always smile
So cheer up be happy awhile

 

Look up

    someone's looking at you
Look up

    you know that's what you should do
One so beautiful

    should always cheer
So look up I'm so glad you're here

 

I hope that I can make you happy
I hope to chase away your blues
I hope to be the one you're looking for
But only after time

    can you then choose

 

Cheer up

    please don't wear a frown
Cheer up

    look at me I'll be your clown
One so beautiful

    should always shine
So cheer up and say you'll be mine

It's True

 

Lady of my tomorrow
    come into my life and say
    you'll stay with me always
Take me from all my sorrow

And then we will be free
    to do anything
We two me and you

 

Maybe with you beside me

    I will find a way to make

    this world of mine better
With your sweet love to guide me

    happiness will be our own
I will shout let it out

    from the highest hill
It's true I love you
I love you

 

It may not be the greatest love

    this world has ever known
But yet to me it's everything

    to see how much it's grown

 

Lady of all my lifetime

    come into my arms and

    give me all your love always
Tell me that it's the right time

    open up your heart for love
And if you want me too

    then please let me know
It's true I love you
I love you

Your Love

 

How can I tell you

Maybe tomorrow

    maybe today
And now the time has come

    to let you know
What's going through my mind
Baby I love you

    and your love is fine

 

How can I show you

And though we've just begun

Baby I love you

    and your love is fine

 

By just being with you

    I have seen inside myself
And it's good to know that

    what I see is me and no one else

 

How can I show you

I Don't Have Love At All
 

When the night turns into dawn
I'll spend the day with you
When the day has been and gone
We'll love the whole night through

 

You know when you want me
I'll be here when you call
For when I don't have you in my life
I don't have love at all

 

When I'm feeling down and out
I simply think of you
Now I know what love's about
I'm glad that it's we two

 

I know when I want you
You'll be there when I call
For when I don't have you in my life
I don't have love at all

 

You know when you want me
I'll be here when you call
For when I don't have you in my life
I don't have love at all

Always happy when I'm with you
Don't know where I'd be without you
Something special all about you
And I just can't get away

I could be your lover
I could love you till the end and I

Isn't It Strange
 

Do you remember how

    we used to be
Long before the many

    changes came
I loved you and you know

    you loved me
But love was

    no more than a game

 

Until today girl I never knew
Exactly what you really

    mean to me
They say it's hard to know

    but now I know it
It took so long for me to see

 

Isn't it strange

    when you fall in love
Having to change everything
Try to arrange

    and you'll just keep falling
Falling deeper in love

 

And every morning

   the sun always shines
Through the clouds

    or through the pouring rain
When you're in love

    the sun is always shining
Shining through your hurt and pain

 

Isn't it strange

    when you fall in love
Having to change everything
Try to arrange

    and you'll just keep falling
Falling deeper in love
Falling deeper in love

Happiness Is You
 

Try you know I try

    to get along without you
But it's harder each day

    I don't know what to do

Cry I never cry

    whenever I am feeling blue
I remember your smile

    and remember that I love you

 

You are love you are life

    you are the morning of my night
You are love you are life

    you are the one who feels so right

 

Why I wonder why

    you know I sometimes wish I knew
How to live without love

    when I know that I don't want to
I want to be with you girl

    for happiness is you

Come To Me
 

I could say a word or two
And I could say a word

    about the things you do

    that make me blue
But I don't think I should

    unless it's got to be
Darlin' come to me

 

I could sing a lullaby
And I could sing a song that's

    sure to make you cry

    and wonder why
But you don't think I would

    until the feeling's free
Darlin' come to me

 

I'll be here to comfort

    you give my love

    that's pure and true for free
I will help you carry on

    if you need me I'll be strong
You'll see let it be me

 

I could show you how I feel
And I could show you how

    I know that it's real

    my love reveals
But I don't think you should

    tell me it's time to leave
Darlin' come to me
Come to me

Get Back Woman
 

Get back woman woman

    don't you treat me wrong
Get back woman now woman

You put wine in my whiskey

Jump back momma momma

Jump back momma now momma

Because I gave you my lovin'

    the best love that you ever had

 

You're not like the others

    you're one of a kind
But some of the things you do

    you know they mess my mind

Now I'll give you something

    to make you understand

 

Get back woman woman

    don't you treat me cruel
Get back woman now woman

    don't you treat me cruel
I'm gonna teach you some loving

    and send you back to school

Illusion
 

Will I see you again
Did our love have to end
We had our

    dreams and emotions
Became together as one

    (together as one)

 

It seemed to me you were happy
And loving you made me free
I thought we'd always be together
But things were not

    what they seemed to be

    (they seemed to be)

 

I see my life before my eyes
And I don't like what I see
A dream today

    could change my life
Tomorrow what will I be

    (oh what will I be)

 

When I awoke it was over
I realized you were gone
Were you real or illusion
Funny that I never knew

    (did not know you)

Love Is
 

Love is the two of us and

    love is your gentle touch
For when the sun

    shines its light on me

I see your love

 

Love is a sunny day

    and love is a smile away
For when the wind

    whispers in my ear

I hear my love

 

Only you

    can change the way I feel
Only you

    for nothing else is real
Only you

    and no one else can see
Such a power

    this love has over me

 

Love is inviting me

    and love is exciting me
For when you smile

    the heavens shine above

I love our love

Mother Earth
 

Well it was late yesterday morning

    I was sippin' on a cup of tea
When I opened my eyes

    and to my surprise

    I saw a woman there looking at me
I said now hey there momma
    from where did you come

    and why is it I just now see
And as she turned around
    without a single sound
    here's what the lady said to me

 

They call me Mother Earth

    for all that it's worth and I've

    been around a long long time
And I'm trying to tell you

    but what the hell you

    only tune out your mind
But someday you'll see

    the reason for me

    and every little thing I do
Because as Mother Earth

    I have given birth

    to everything including you

 

Well when I got up from the table

    and I tried to find my way outside
All the things she'd said

    echoed through my head and

    there was nothing I could do to hide
I said now hey there honey

    I'm feeling so funny

    don't know wherever I may be
Then as she turned away

    I thought I heard her say something

    funny when she said to me

 

They call me Mother Earth

    for all that it's worth and I've

    been around a long long time
And I'm trying to tell you

    but what the hell you

    only tune out your mind
But someday you'll see

    the reason for me

    and every little thing I do
Because as Mother Earth

    I have given birth

    to everything including you


Because as Mother Earth

    I have given birth

    to everything including you

November

 

Hey won't you wake up and rise

    greet the morning sun
Say won't you open your eyes

    meet the early dawn
It's November

    and the air is clear but I'm

    waiting for the falling rain
Then again all my pain

    will disappear

 

Hey can I see you tonight

    let me hold your hand
Say can I hold you so tight

    won't you understand
It's November

    and the night is clear but I'm

    waiting for the falling snow
Then I'll know if you go

    the end is near

 

Sweet November

    you're finally here
Since December

    I've waited all year
Giving thanks for the

    peace I may find
Please don't leave me behind

 

Hey won't you give me call

    I'll apologize
Say can I see you at all

    since I realize
It's November

    and the night is day but I'm

    waiting for my love to return
I have learned not to turn

    your heart away

Our Precious Love

 

I can't believe it's happened
No I can't believe it's happened
For you came from my dreams
And now it seems

    all my dreams came true

 

I can't believe you love me
No I can't believe you love me
For I have never known
Been all alone on my own too long

 

Now there's a song in my heart
When I start to think of your love
And I feel like I'm living now
Thinking of our precious love

   love love love

 

I can't believe it's happened
No I can't believe it's happened
For we will share a life
With you my wife all my life with you
I love you too

Why Does A Pelican Fly Like A Pelican
 

Why does a seagull fly

    like a seagull flies so high
Across the sky tell me why

    does a seagull fly so high


Why does a seagull fly

    like a seagull flies so high
Across the sky tell me why

    up in the sky
Why does a seagull fly

 

Why does a pelican

    fly like a pelican
    (repeat over and over
    behind verse two)

 

Why does a pelican fly

    like a pelican flies so high
Across the sky tell me why

    does a pelican fly so high
Why does a pelican fly

    like a pelican flies so high
Across the sky tell me why
    up in the sky
Why does a pelican fly

Lost In A Dream

 

Sitting and I stare into space
Funny I can still see her face
I can see her as I weep now
I can even see her

    when I'm asleep now
Tell me what else can I do
'Cos my baby don't give a damn

    who I am

 

I once thought I knew her
But just what did I know
I didn't want to love her
But I never would let her go

 

Standing on the edge of my mind
Feeling that I'm wasting my time
And I feel like I could scream now
And I feel like I'm lost in a dream now
That's the reason I feel blue
'Cos my baby don't give a damn

    who I am

I've Never Been In Love

 

I've never been in love before
And I'll never find it anymore
My whole world was blue
Until I met you
For I've never been in love

 

I've never known a girl like you
Someone who can

    do the things you do
My friends say I'm strange
They tell me I've changed
But I've never been in love

 

Now if you don't love me that's OK
'Cos you know I'll love you anyway

 

I've never been in love before
And I know it won't come anymore
I'll do all I can
To stay as your man
'Cos I've never been in love

You Are Love

 

You are sunshine

    on a cold dark night

You are comfort

    when I feel uptight
You are nature

    for a little while

You are heaven

    when I see you smile
You're my woman you're my lover
    and you are what you are
And you're what I'm thinking of

    you are love

 

You are meadows

    by a morning stream

You are visions

    in a lover's dream
You are shadows

    from the summer sun

You are my girl

    you're the only one
You're my woman you're my lover

    and you are hat you are
And you're what I'm thinking of

    you are love

 

Never ever have I been like this

    I'd wait a million years

    for your tender kiss
Just as long as
    you say you love me too

 

You are clover

    from a field of green

You are beauty

    like I've never seen
You are rivers

    where the moonlight shown

You are feelings

    that I've never known
You're my woman you're my lover

    and you are what you are
And you're what I'm thinking of
    you are love

Always On My Mind

 

If I only could remember

    all about you
Then the past would not be

    part of yesterday
And I know for sure

    I couldn't live without you
Never knowing where

    I would have been today

 

I could search forever

    looking for another
But a love like ours

   is very hard to find
And I never will forget

    my special lover
For you know my love

    you're always on my mind

 

If I only could relive

    our precious hours
Then my heart would tell me

    what I feel for you
In your eyes I see the

    beauty of the flowers
And to love you is

    the only thing to do

 

If I searched forever

    I'd never find another
'Cos the love we have

    is something hard to find
And I know I'll always love you

    special lover
For your love my love

    is always on my mind
Yes you know my love

    you're always on my mind

You're Gonna Lose Me

 

I'm getting tired of being your fool
And I'm getting so tired

    of you treating me cruel
I don't know but I don't care
'Cos I know that you're aware
And the next time that you use me
Then woman you're gonna lose me

 

I'm feeling down and I'm so afraid
And I'm feeling so down

    after all we have made
You don't know but you don't care
'Cos you know I will be here
But the next time that you use me
Then woman you're gonna lose me

 

I don't want to make you sad
'Cos you're the best woman

    I've ever had
But I can't take it

    when you deceive me
Baby believe me

    don't ever leave me

 

I'm getting tired of being your fool
And I'm getting so tired

    of you treating me cruel
I don't know but I don't care
'Cos I know that you're aware
And the next time that you use me
Then woman you're gonna lose me

Gonna Go To Ohio

 

I got a little woman and

    she's left me for her home
I'm just so lonely without her

    been so down since

    she's been gone
You know that she's my sunshine

    she's my one and only girl
And don'tcha know

    the lady is my world

 

And now the summer's coming

    gonna go see her real soon
Maybe early in sweet July

    or maybe late in sweeter June
You know she's my direction

    she's my one and only way
And don'tcha hear me

    every time I say I say

 

That I think I'm gonna go to Ohio

    I can't carry on this
Think I'm gonna go to Ohio

    'cos that's where my baby is
And I think I'm gonna go to Ohio

    to be with my baby there
'Cos nowhere in Indiana can I find

    a honey like my sugar bear

 

On ev'ry Friday evening when the

    cold wind of winter blows
You'll find me in my woman's arms

    keeping warm

    where her loving shows
You know I've gotta see her

    to have some peace of mind
And don'tcha know

    that pretty soon I'll find I'll find

 

That I think I'm gonna go to Ohio

    I can't carry on this
Think I'm gonna go to Ohio

    'cos that's where my baby is
And I think I'm gonna go to Ohio
    to be with my baby there
'Cos nowhere in Indiana can I find

    a honey like my sugar bear

I Get High

 

When I'm lying in bed

    every thought in my head
Gets me high gets me high

    gets me high
When I'm lying alone

    every feeling I own
Gets me high gets me high

    gets me high

 

And whenever I'm down

    I know you're always around
You know your loving

    always gets me by
And when I think of you

    all the things that you do
I get high I get high I get high

 

When you're happy awhile

    every time that you smile
Gets me high gets me high

    gets me high
When you're helping me through

    every time that you do
Gets me high gets me high

    gets me high

 

And whenever I'm down

    I know you're always around
You know your loving

    always gets me by
And when I think of you

    all the things that you do
I get high I get high I get high

 

Honey I don't have to try
'Cos baby your love

    gets me high high high high

Where would I be without your love

    guiding me on through my lifetime
Always to be just you and me

Oh where would I be without you

 

Where would I be without your smile

    touching my heart with your laughter
You'll always be heaven to me

Oh where would I be without you

 

Maybe someday I would find me someone

But girl don't you know I won't let you go

Where would I be without your love

    guiding me on through my lifetime
Always to be just you and me

    oh where would I be tell me who would I see
Oh where would I be without you
Without you

Feeling Inside
 

Got a feeling inside of me

    don't know what to say
Such a feeling deep inside of me

    can't turn it away
Don't know where I'm going

    but I know where I'll stay
With you all the way and every day

 

Got a feeling inside of me

    don't know what to do
Such a feeling deep inside of me

    can't hide it from you
Don't know where I'm going

    and I haven't got a clue
But I won't be blue
I've got you

 

Someone to think about

    each day and all night
Someone to treat me like a king
You are the girl for me

    and I know it's right
Give me love and everything

 

Got a feeling inside of me

    don't know what to say
Such a feeling deep inside of me

    can't turn it away
Don't know where I'm going

    but I know where I'll stay
With you all the way and every day

Thinking Of You
 

Here I am I'm thinking of you
Once again girl I'm thinking of you
Never thought it'd feel so good
Never thought that it even could

 

Every night I'm dreaming of you
Hold you tight

    when I'm dreaming of you
Never dreamed it'd feel this way
Never dreamed I would

    have love today

 

Can't you see me

    as I'm walking with you
I'm talking to you look at me
I want to tell you that I love you I do
And I wish you knew can't you see

 

So here I am I'm thinking of you
And I'll be damned girl

    I'm thinking of you
And I long for you tonight
Nothing's wrong everything's alright

Someday (I Want To Marry You)
 

As I watch you sitting there
Everywhere love is in the air
As I feel you lying here
Love's so near makes it very clear
That someday I want to marry you

 

When I touch your gentle hand
Understand that I'm your only man
When I lay here by your side
Don't deny what you feel inside
For someday I want to marry you

 

Feel my loving arms all around you
And everything I say
And everything I do
Is just for you only you

 

Now I know that you're the one
Having fun life has just begun
Love will guide us

    through and through
Me and you and all our children too
And someday I want to marry you

 

So someday please marry me

When I hear your sweet love song

    I could stay near so very long
When I feel your tender touch

    I think of all my love so much
For you my love just for you

 

Oh my love I'm with you here
To me you always will be dear
And I'm singing this just for you

 

When I taste your sweet warm lips

    you send chills to my fingertips
When I think of all your care

    I'll go with you everywhere
For you my love just for you

Starting Over

 

Yesterday you and I had a love

    but you said goodbye
Let's start over we're starting over

 

Now today it's not the same

    time and distance

    has changed the game
Let's start over we're starting over

 

Love it seems has slipped away
In my heart I want our love to stay
Can't you see I want to try
And if you don't please tell me why

 

All my life I've wanted you

    all my love I give to you
Let's start over we're starting over
Oh let's start over

    we're starting over

There's A Reason
 

There's a reason we’ve

    gone our separate ways
And there's a reason we’ll

    find our love some day
You know we may not understand

    but each life has a plan
And I know it's true

 

There's a reason for

    the times we’ve disagreed
And there's a reason though

    at times we just can’t see
You know we may not comprehend

    but we'll be one again
And you know it's true

 

You and I have come too far

    to call it all a day
And if you love me like I love you

    I know we can find a way

 

There's a reason for

    the moments that we’ve shared
And there's a reason that

    you may think I don't care
You know I'll show you girl some how

    the time for love is now
And we know it's true


There's a reason that

    I'm in love with you
