summer of '69

i got me first real six string-baught it at the five and dime-played it till me fingers bled-was the summer of '69-me and some guys from school have a band and we try real hard-Jimmy quit Jody got married-shoulda know we never get far-but when i look back now this summer seemed to last forever and if i had the choice-ya, i'd always wanna be there-thiose were the best days of me life-ain't no use in complainin'-when you got a job to do-spent my evenin' down at the drive-in-and that's when i met you-ya standin' on your mama's porch you told me that you wait forever-oh a,d when you held my hand i knew that it was now or never- those were the best days of my life-back in the summer of '69-man we were killin' time-we were young and restless-we needed to unwind i guess nothin' can last forever-forever, no...and now the time are changin' look at everything that's come and gone-sometimes when i play that old six string i think about ya'n wonder what went wrong-standin' on your mama's porch-you told me that you wait forever-oh the way you held my and i knew that it was now or never-those were the best days of my life-back in the summer of '69

back to you

i've been down-i've been beat-i've been so tired-i could not speak-i've been so long-i could not see-i've wanted things that were out of reach-then i found you and you help me through-ya you show me what to do-and that's why i'm comin' back to you...

like a star guide a ship accross the ocean-that's how your love will take me home back to you-and if i wish upon a star-someday i'll be where you are-i know that day will comin' soon-ya,i'm comin' back to you

you've been alone,but ya did not show it-you've been in pain, but did not know it-let me do what i needed to-you were there when i needed you-mighta let you down, mighta messed you round-but ya never changed your point of view-and that's why i'm comin' back to you...

like a star...

i'm coming back to you-i'm coming back to you-i'm coming back to you-that day is coming soon-i'm coming back to yo

cuts like a knife

drinvin' home this evenin'-coulda sworn we ahd it all worked out-you had this boy believin' way beyond a shadown of a doubt-then i heard it on the street-i heard ya might of found somebody new-well who is he bay-who is he and tell me what he means to you-i took it for granted-but how was i to know-that you'd be lettin' go-now it cuts you like a knife-but it feels so right-it cuts like a knife-but it feels so right-there's times i've bin mistaken-there's times i thought i've trought i've bin misunderstood-so wait a minute darlin'-can't you see we did the best we could-this couldn't be the first time-that things have gone astray-now you've thrown it all away-now it cuts like a knife-but it feels so right-it cuts like a knife-but it feels so right

when you love someone

when you love someone, you'll do anything-you'll do all the crasy things that you can't explain-you'll shoot the moon,put of the sun-when you love someone

you'll deny the thruth,believe a lie-there'll be time that you believe you can really fly-but your lonely nights, have just begun-when you love someone

when you love someone, you'll feel it deep inside-and nothing else can ever change your mind-when you want someone-when you need soemone-when you lve someone...

when you love someone, you'll sacrifice-you'd give it everything you got and you won't think twice-you'd risk it all-no matter what may come-when you love someone-you'll shoot the moon-put out the sun-when you love someone

18 til i die

the only thing that looks good on me is you

a little love

some poeple walk the straight and narrow-some walk the rocky road-some get the silver spoon and some get the heavy load there's a man in a paper box, he smiles whenever he walk bye-we just walk a little faster and say "there but for the crasy of God go i" but a little love-a little love-a little love can change it all

i've been up and down this highway and i ain't seen a road sign yet-it's a cold hard world baby you gotta hang on to what yuo get-i odn't believe in miracles but that don't mean they don't come true-well i may not get to heaven but i get a little closer when i'm with you-but a little love-a little love-a little love can change it all

well i get a littel tired walkin' down the street-poeple on my side-everyone i meet-but they don't know what's on my mind-and they don't knwo that they might find-a little love-a little love-a little love can change it all

right when you think you don't need love is when you need it most-even if you got the father and the son and the holy ghost-well there's more to truth baby than what we know is true-ya we wander round in the darkness-but every now and then a little light shines thru-and a little love-a little love-a little love can change it all

heaven

oh thinkin' about all our younger years-there were only you and me-we were young and wild and free-now nothin' can take you away from me-we bin down that road before-but that's over now-you keep me comin' back for more-baby you're all that i want-when you're lyin' here in my arms-i'm findin' it hard to believe-we're in heaven-and love is all that i need-and i find it there in your heart-it isn't too hard to see we're in heaven-oh, once in your lfe you find someone-who will turn your world around-bring you up when you feelin' down-ya, nothin' could change what you mean to me-oh, there's lots that i could say-but just hold me now-cause our love will light the way-n'baby you're all that i want-when you're lyin' here in my arms-i'm findin' it hard to believe-we're in heaven-and love is all that i need-and i find it there in your heart-it isn't too hard to see we're in heaven-i've been waitin' for so long-for something to arrive-for love to come along-now our dreams are comin' true-throught the good times and the bad-ya, i'll standin' there by you

i'll always be right there

i swear to you-i will always be there for you-there's notin' i won't do- i promise you-all my life i will live for you-we will make it through------forever we will be together you and me-oh n'when i hold ya-nothin' can compare-with all of my heart-ya know i'll always be right there------i believe in us-nothin' else could ever mean so much-you're the one i trust-our time has come-we're not two people-now we are one- ya you're second to none------forever we will be-together a family-the more i get to know ya-nothin' can compare-with all of my heart-ya know i'll always be right there------forever we will be together just you and me-the more i get to know ya-the more i really care-with all of my heart-ya know i'll always be... ya know i really love ya-ya nothin' wan compare-for all my life-ya know i'll always be right there
