| Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon Love you so much can't count all the ways, I'd die for you girl and all they can say is, "He's not your kind." They never get tired of putting me down and I never know when I come around. What I'm gonna find, don't let them make up your mind, don't you know. Girl, you'll be a woman soon, please come take my hand. Girl, you'll be a woman soon, soon, you'll need a man. I've been misunderstood for all of my life but what they're saying, girl, just cuts like a knife. "The boy's no good." Well, I finally found what I've been looking for but if they get a chance they'll end it for sure. Sure they would, baby I've done all I could, it's up to you. Girl, you'll be a woman soon, please come take my hand. Girl, you'll be a woman soon, soon, you'll need a man. Glory Road Wearing my high boots, got all my worldlies here in a sack. Looking for something, knowing that it ain't here where I'm at. Ain't looking back, I'm coming, ride by thumbing. Get by bumming, I'm on my way. Friend, have you seen glory road? Say, friend, I got a heavy load, and I know glory road's waiting for me. Caught me a pick-up down from Seattle through to L.A. Seems like those folks go chasing a new star every day. Ain't gonna stay in Nevada, through Wyoming. Colorado I'm on my way, friend, have you seen glory road? Say, friend, I got a heavy load, and I know glory road's waiting for me. Met so many others, wanted to know which way to go. Louisiana, New York City, they wanted the answer, they'd ask of me. Friend, have you seen glory road? Say, friend, I got a heavy load and I know glory road's waiting for me. Rest my load, now I know glory road won't set me free. He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother (Russel/Scott) The road is long with many a winding turn that lead us to who knows where, who knows where. But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him. He ain't heavy, he's my brother. So on we go, his welfare is my concern. No burden is he to bare, we'll get there. For I know he would not encumber me, he ain't heavy, he's my brother. If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness that everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness with love for one another. It's a long long road from there is no return. While we're on the way to there, why not share? And the load doesn't weigh me down at all. He ain't heavy, he's my brother. He ain't heavy, he's my brother. Heartlight (Diamond/Bacharach/Sager) Come back again. I want you to stay next time. Cause sometimes the world ain't kind when people get lost like you and me. I just made a friend. A friend is someone you need. But now that he had to go away, I still feel the words that he might say. Turn on your heartlight, let it shine wherever you go. Let it make a happy glow for all the world to see. Turn on your heartlight in the middle of a young boy's dream. Don't wake me up too soon, gonna take a ride across the moon, you and me. He's looking for home cause everyone needs a place. And home's the most excellent place of all and I'll be right here if you should call me. Turn on your heartlight, let it shine wherever you go. Let it make a happy glow for all the world to see. Turn on your heartlight in the middle of a young boy's dream. Don't wake me up too soon, gonna take a ride across the moon, you and me. And home's the most excellent place of all and I'll be right here if you should call me. Turn on your heartlight, let it shine wherever you go. Let it make a happy glow for all the world to see. Turn on your heartlight in the middle of a young boy's dream. Don't wake me up too soon, gonna take a ride across the moon, you and me. Turn on you heartlight now, turn on you heartlight now Hell Yeah If you're thinking that my life is a hoot and a holler from the start of the day to the dark of the night and that its ringing like a bell that you only want to follow, gotta trust me when I say I'm just trying to get it right. Still I think about myself as a lucky old dreamer. If you're asking me to tell, is it worth what I paid? You gonna hear me say, hell, yeah it is. And I say it loud, I loved it all and I'm not too proud. I freed my soul, just let it fly. Hell, yeah this crazy life around me, it confuses and confounds me but it's all the life I've got until I die, hell, yeah, it is. If you're asking for my time, isn't much left to give you. Been around a good long while so I gotta say it fast. Time is all we'll ever need but it's gotta have a meaning, you be careful how it's spent cause it isn't going to last. I hear you wondering out loud, are you ever gonna make it? Will you ever work it out? Will you ever take a chance? And just believe you can? Hell, yeah, you will. You're gonna be okay and you might get lost but then you'll find a way. Don't go alone, can't be afraid, Hell, yeah, this life is here and it's made for living and love's a gift that's made for giving. You give it all away and have it still and hell, yeah, you will. I've been living in a bowl with a lot of people staring, with my feet on shaky ground and my head up in the sky. But it's where I want to be, it's a life that's made for caring. Got a song to pass the day and a girl to share the night. So if they ask you when I'm gone, was it everything he wanted? When he had to travel on, did he know he'd be missed? You can tell them this: Hell, yeah, he did! He saw it all, he walked the line, never had to crawl. He cried a bit but not for long. Hell, yeah, he found the life that he was after, filled it up with love and laughter. Finally got it right and made it fit, hell, yeah, he did. Hell, yeah, he did! Hell, yeah, he did! Hello Again (Diamond/Lindgren) Hello again, hello. Just called to say 'hello.' I couldn't sleep at all tonight and I know it's late, but I couldn't wait. Hello, my friend, hello. Just called to let you know I think about you every night when I'm here alone and you're there at home, hello. Maybe it's been crazy and maybe I'm to blame, but I put my heart above my head. We've been through it all and you loved me just the same. And when you're not there, I just need to hear- hello, my friend, hello. It's good to need you so. It's good to love you like I do and to feel this way when I hear you say, hello. Hello, my friend, hello. Just called to let you know I think about you every night and I know it's late, but I couldn't wait, hello. Holly Holy Holly holy eyes, dream of only you. Where I am, what I am, what I believe in, holly holy. Holly holy dream, wanting only you. And she comes and I run just like the wind will, holly holy. Sing a song. Sing a song of songs. Sing it out, sing it strong. Call the sun in the dead of the night and the sun's gonna rise in the sky. Touch a man who can't walk upright and that lame man, he's gonna fly, and I fly, and I fly. Holly holy love, take the lonely child. And the seed, let it be filled with tomorrow, holly holy. Sing a song. Sing a song of songs. Sing it out, sing it strong. Call the sun in the dead of the night and the sun's gonna rise in the sky. Touch a man who can't walk upright and that lame man, he's gonna fly, and I fly, God, I fly. Holly holy dream, dream of only you. Holly holy sun, holly holy rain... Home Before Dark Home before dark, before the night comes falling. The sun going down and I can hear you calling. I followed my star just to be where you are, but I couldn't get far in the dark. Home before dark, before the day deserts me. I look for my truth knowing the truth might hurt me. Been traveling light, just ahead of the night to be getting home right before dark. I've been searching, can't explain it, look for reasons for what I found in me. Know for certain things are changing, I've been changing now I need to be home where I can see. Home before dark, before the light escapes me, to be at your side, that's where the journey takes me. And I've been afraid, if I lost my way, that I wouldn't be saved before dark. I've got stories I wanna tell you, you need to hear them, maybe then you'll see that I found them, never knowing they were going on inside of me, it's where I had to be. Home before dark, know you'll be waiting for me to be at your door and talk until 4 in the morning. I've been so alone in places unknown, but I knew I'd get home before dark. Because of you, I'd get home before dark. Husbands and Wives (Miller) Two broken hearts lonely looking houses where nobody lives. Two people each having so much pride inside, neither side forgives. Angry words spoken in haste, such a waste of two lives. Its my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline in the number of husbands and wives. A woman and a man, a man and a woman, some can and some can't and some can't. Two broken hearts lonely looking houses where nobody lives. Two people each having so much pride inside, neither side forgives. Angry words spoken in haste, such a waste of two lives. Its my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline in the number of husbands and wives. A woman and a man, a man and a woman, some can and some can't and some can't. I Am...I Said L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time and the feeling is laid back. Palm trees grow, and rents are low but you know I keep thinking about making my way back. Well I'm New York City born and raised but nowadays, I'm lost between two shores. L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home, New York's home, but it ain't mine no more. "I am," I said to no one there. And no one heard at all, not even the chair. "I am," I cried. "I am," said I, and I am lost, and I can't even say why, leaving me lonely still. Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king and then became one? Well except for the names and a few other changes if you talk about me, the story's the same one. But I got an emptiness deep inside and I've tried, but it won't let me go. And I'm not a man who likes to swear but I never cared for the sound of being alone. "I am," I said to no one there. And no one heard at all, not even the chair. "I am," I cried. "I am," said I, and I am lost, and I can't even say why, leaving me lonely still. "I am," I said, "I am," I cried, "I am..." I Am The Lion There was a flood and many poor men were killed. And that is why our house is built on the top of a hill. The plains are like a friend, why can't we live on them? And if a flood should come, where can we run? I am the lion bellowing out in the night. We had a cow, I left it alone to graze. And walked to the stream and when I returned, it was stolen away. But now the cow is gone and we don't need a farm. We have not one thing they would steal away. I am the lion bellowing out at the night. I am the lion bellowing out at the night. I am the lion. I'm On To You Lie no more, I'm on to you. Know the score and I'm on to you. Take anything you want, baby, I'm moving on. You can complain, rant and cry. Can't deny- baby, I'm on to you. Talk your talk, I'm on to you. Like a hawk, hey, I'm on to you. Trouble is what you are, trouble that's gone too far. Baby, the truth makes you free. Disagree, I'll still be on to you. Tell me now how I was wrong and I'll tell you how right you are. Wrong to be staying so long, was I out of my head? Should have known it was dead but it's good. By now, I'm on to you. Stood my ground, hey, I'm on to you. Baby, I wish you well but loving you, it was hell. Now is the time to let go. Finally know that I'm so on to you. Tell me now how I was wrong and I'll tell you how right you are. Wrong to be staying so long, was I out of my head? Should have known it was dead but it's good. By now, I'm on to you. Stood my ground, hey, I'm on to you. Baby I wish you well but loving you hurt like hell. And it's the time to let go. Finally know that I'm so on to you. Baby, I'm on to you. Saying I'm on to you, to you, to you, to you, to you. Saying I wish you well but loving you, it was hell. And it's the time to let go, finally know that I'm so on to you. Baby I'm on to you, saying I'm on to you. Knowing I'm on to you, baby, I'm on to you. If I Don't See You Again If I don't see you again, it was a hell of a ride. Don't need to say let's be friends, don't need to promise you'll write. We rode that train through the night and never cared where it went, if I don't see you again. If I don't see you again, we ran a whole other race. Two strangers meet on the road and find their time and their place. We never once had to lie, we passed the age of consent, if I don't see you again. I know it's crazy out there, I hated sleeping around, I went out looking for love and never liked what I found. Don't pay to make it alone, God knows it's lonely out there, I made it once on my own and hardly anyone cared, if I don't see you again. Who you gonna run to baby? Who you gonna hide behind when the nights get suddenly cold? Who's gonna hold you? Who's gonna know? Who will you go to? Who you gonna call if it ain't me? When you're feeling lost and there's nobody out there looking for you? What will you do? Where will you go? If I don't see you again. If I don't see you again, you made it happen somehow, I think I gave up on life, but I feel better right now. Something you said turned me around, don't even know what you meant, if I don't see you again. And at the end of the day, I hated sleeping alone, there's nothing worse when you're lost and you don't wanna go home. It's gonna work out some way, I just don't wanna be found. I'm waiting here around the bend and I'll be hanging around, if I don't see you again. Who am I kidding, I'm going nowhere, I can't even get through an hour without you, should be ashamed, just wanna hear you calling my name. Two of us missed connections, guess we must have somehow missed something more, cause we're here alone, I know we're together but too far apart to know how to get back home. It's time for saying goodbye cause if I stayed for too long, you'd get to know me too well and find that something was wrong. The time is perfect to go before the curtain descends. Right now, when both of us know that everything's got to end, if I don't see you again What's it gonna come to baby? Who you gonna hide behind when the nights get filled up with doom, looking to run, you've run out of room? And will you be the one to save me? Doesn't look like the future is clear, I need you to hear me playing a tune. When nobody hears me I end up playing to the moon. It's time for saying goodbye cause if I stayed for too long, you'd get to know me too well and find that something was wrong. The time is perfect to go before the curtain descends. Right now, when both of us know that everything's got to end, if I don't see you again If I don't see you again, somehow we both made it through. I would've gave up on life before I gave up on you. You went and turned me around, could be was something you said, I couldn't make out the sound, I didn't care what it meant. If I don't see you again, if I don't see you again, if I don't see you again. If I Never Knew Your Name You, get me feeling crazy, there, always on my mind. And I get to feeling lately, if I never knew your name, I'd love you all the same, but I have you to myself wanting nothing else, knowing that you're mine, good time, bad time, all the time. Hands reaching 'cross a room and I know somewhere inside my mind if I never knew your name, I'd love you all the same, but I have you to myself wanting nothing else, knowing that you're mine. And I know somewhere inside my mind if I never knew your name, I'd love you all the same, but I have you to myself wanting nothing else, knowing that you're mine. Have you to myself, wanting nothing else, knowing that you're mine. If You Go Away (Brel/McKuen) If you go away on this summer day, then you might as well take the sun away or the birds that flew in the summer sky when our love was new and our hearts were high, when the day was young and the night was long, and the moon stood still for the night bird song. If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. But if you stay, I'll make you a day like no day has been or will be again. We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain, we'll talk to the trees that worship the wind. And if you go, I'll understand, leave me just enough love to fill up my hand. If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. If you go away, as I know you must, there'll be nothing left in the world to trust. Just an empty room filled with empty space like the empty look I see on your face. Can I tell you now, as you turn to go, I'll be dying slowly till your next hello. If you go away, if you go away, if you go away But if you stay, I'll make you a night like no night has been or will be again. I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch, I'll talk to your eyes, that I love so much. But if you go, I won't cry, the good's gone from goodbye. If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. If You Know What I Mean When the night returns just like a friend, when the evening comes to set me free, when the quiet house that wait beyond the day make peaceful sounds in me. Took a drag from my last cigarette, took a drink from a glass of old wine, I closed my eyes, and I could make it real and feel it one more time. Can you hear it, babe? Can you hear it, babe? From another time, from another place, do you remember it, babe? And the radio played like a carnival tune as we lay in our bed in the other room when we gave it away for the sake of a dream in a penny arcade, if you know what I mean. If you know what I mean, babe. Here's to the songs we used to sing and here's to the times we used to know. It's hard to hold them in our arms again but hard to let them go. Do you hear it, babe? Do you hear it, babe? It was another time, it was another place, do you remember it, babe? And the radio played like a carnival tune as we lay in our bed in the other room when we gave it away for the sake of a dream in a penny arcade, if you know what I mean. If you know what I mean, if you know what I mean, if you know what I mean... I'm A Believer I thought love was only true in fairy tales, meant for someone else but not for me. Love was out to get me, that's the way it seemed, disappointment haunted all my dreams. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer. Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried. I thought love was more or less a giving thing. Seems the more I gave, the less I got. 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 my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer. Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried. I Think It's Gonna Rain Today (Newman) Broken windows in empty hallways. A pale dead moon in a sky streaked with gray. Human kindness is overflowing and I think it's gonna rain today. Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles with frozen smiles to chase love away. Human kindness is overflowing and I think it's gonna to rain today. Lonely, lonely, tin can at my feet, kick it down the street, and that's the way to treat a friend. Right before me, the signs implore me: Help the needy and show them the way. Human kindness, is overflowing and I think it's gonna to rain today. Juliet Juliet, I've been waiting for so long for you to come by. How I've been needing you, Juliet. Wrapped up all in daydreams, but daydreams won't fill the night time, and I'm so glad I found Juliet. Turn your eyes on me girl, wandering round inside a grown man, no more than a small boy sweet Juliet. About to give up trying, and there you stood without your shoes on, you've gone and loved me sweet Juliet. Longfellow Serenade Longfellow serenade, such were the plans I'd made, For she was a lady and I was a dreamer with only words to trade, you know that I was born for a night like this, warmed by a stolen kiss for I was lonely and she was lonely. Ride, come on baby, ride, let me make your dreams come true. I'll sing my song, let me sing my song, let me make it warm for you. I'll weave his web of rhyme upon the summer night. We'll leave this worldly time on his winged flight. Then come, and as we lay beside this sleepy glade, there I will sing to you my Longfellow serenade. Longfellow serenade, such were the plans I made. But she was a lady as deep as a river and through the night, we stayed and in my way, I loved her as none before, loved her with words and more for she was lonely and I was lonely. Ride, come on baby, ride, let me make your dreams come true. I'll sing my song, let me sing my song, let me make it warm for you. I'll weave his web of rhyme upon the summer night. We'll leave this worldly time on his winged flight. Then come, and as we lay beside this sleepy glade, there I will sing to you my Longfellow serenade. Love On The Rocks Love on the rocks, ain't no surprise. Pour me a drink and I'll tell you some lies. Got nothing to lose so you just sing the blues all the time. Gave you my heart, gave you my soul. You left me alone here with nothing to hold. Yesterday's gone, now all I want is a smile. First, they say they want you, need, how they really need you. Suddenly you find you're out there walking in a storm. When they know they have you, then they really have you. Nothing you can do or say, you've got to leave, just get away, we all know the song. You need what you need, you can say what you want. Not much you can do when the feeling is gone. May be blue skies above, but it's cool when your love's on the rocks. First, they say they want you, need, how they really need you. Suddenly you find you're out there walking in a storm. When they know they have you, then they really have you. Nothing you can do or say, you've got to leave, just get away, we all know the song. Love on the rocks, ain't no surprise. Pour me a drink and I'll tell you some lies. Yesterday's gone, now all I want is a smile. Man Of God I'm a man of God though I never learned to pray. Walked the pathways of the heart, found him there along the way. And I am, yes I am, I'm a man of faith and faith is something you can't see. But if we want to make it through, faith is how it's got to be. I'm thanking you Lord for giving me song, for making me strong and for taking my hand. I'll go up to heaven when I reach the end but up until then gonna do what I can. And I can, yes I can be a man of peace, plant it like a tiny seed. It grows a little when you give and gives you back when you're in need/ No I am, yes I am, I'm a man of song, gonna sing it far and near. Gonna make a joyful sound, one that every heart can hear. Singing for Him is like touching the sky, I don't need to know why, I just know that it is. Each time I sing out I want to rejoice cause when I hear my voice I believe that it's His. And I am, yes I am, I'm a man of hope. I haven't stopped believing yet. And while we're heading down that road, hope is what we can't forget. And I am yes I am, I'm a man of God. Know I am, yes I am, I'm a man, I'm a man of faith. I'm a man, yes I am, I'm a man, I'm a man of peace. And I am, yes, I am, I'm a man, I'm a man of song. I'm a man of God. Man of God.

Christ, Christ, Christ I must go now, now, I must go now. I must not be late, a child has been born. The child has been born Christ, Christ, Christ Gloria No Words No words could say how I love you. No words could be as true. I've looked through books and read through dictionaries, but I've found no words for you. No words, no words, no words, oh, no. No words can define what I'm feeling when I feel close to you. No words can bring that magic kind of healing just as much as your touch can do. No words, no words, no words, oh, no. Oh, no, no words. Well, I'll admit there may be one or two that danced around in my head, but words that talk about me and you are better felt than said, there are no words that can tell our story, they just get in the way. It's all about the feelings that you're feeling, not about the words that you say. No words, no words, no words, oh, no. Oh, no, no words. Well, I'll admit there may be one or two been swimming round in my head, but what they say about me and you is better felt than said, There are no words that can solve life's mystery or explain God's eternal plan. We only know enough to ask the questions, not enough to understand. No words, no words, no words, oh, no. No words, no words, no words, oh, no. Oh, no, no words.
