“Safe In The Arms Of Love” by Martina McBride
written by Pam Rose/Mary Ann Kennedy/Pat Bunch
album: “Wild Angels”

My heart’s not ready for the rocking chair
I need somebody who really cares
So tired of livin’ solitaire
Someday I’m gonna be
Safe in the arms of love

Strip your heart and it starts to snow
Love is a high-wire act I know
Someday I’ll find a net below
Someday I’m gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

chorus:
I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love has caught me
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

I want a heart to be forever mine
Want eyes to see me satisfied
Gonna hang my heartaches out to dry
Someday I’m gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

(repeat chorus)

Safe in the arms of love

When judgment comes for you
Cause it’s gonna come for you

Bizzy Bone:
Head south, slingin’ it for Wally
Eazy sees Uncle Charlie, Little Boo and God’s got ‘em
And I’m gonna miss everybody
I roll with Bone, my gang
Look to them rocks and slang
And pray to dust and man
That true beat to beat the same
Lil Layzie came to me
Tell me the turth of the deceased
But then please murder me
Bye bye, cry cry
No way, your gang oh yeah

Layzie Bone:
Now Flesh you workin’ on a plan from heaven
Follow the Lord all 24/7
God is who we praise even thought the devil’s all up in my face
He’s keepin’ me safe and in my place
St. Clars can’t catch the race without chase
Now face the judge
Got to get myself a buzz
Girls be bitches no messin’ with thugs
Ooh, what can I do
It’s all about a family and how we do
Can I get a witness lettin’s a fool
We livin’ our lives and turn in our soul
A-o-way-o

Krayzie Bone:
Hey… And we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
And we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
Still we’re lacin’
Now follow me roll stroll whether he’s tellin’ me seven
And to think about people bein’ bust out on their ass
Whill all these thugs drinkin’ brew
It’s steady keepin’ up with me family
Exactly how many days we got lastin’
Why you laughin’, we’re passin’ passin’ away
Now we gonna rest our souls
Cause I know I’d meet ya at the crossroads
Yall’d know, if you ever got love from them Bone thugs baby

Wish Bone:
Now Eazy’s gone gone, really wish he could come home
But when you gotta die, gotta bye-bye
All a thug can do is cry cry
Why they kill my dog and man I miss my Uncle Charles y’all
He shouldn’t be gone in front of his home
What they did to Ruu was wrong
Ooh so wrong, gotta hold on, gotta stay strong
When the day comes better believe Bone got a shoulder you can lean on

Group:
Hey… and we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
And we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday

Bizzy and Wish Bone:
See you at tha crossroads crossroads crossroads
Layzie and Krayzie Bone:
So you won’t be lonely

See you at tha crossroads crossroads crossroads
So you won’t be lonely

Bizzy Bone:

Livin’ in a hateful world
Sendin’ me straight to heaven
That’s how we live
Livin’ in a hateful world
Sendin’ me straight to heaven

That’s how we live
And I’m askin’ the good Lord while inside he told me

Flesh-n-Bone:
What’s up with the murder y’all
See my little cousin was home
Somebody really wrong and he wanted to test his dome
And Ms. Sleazy set up Eazy Bone

You now what sayin’ when Bizzy is comin’
It seems to be getting’ easier
Again and again tell me whatcha gonna do

Wish Bone:
Can somebody anybody tell me why
Hey, can somebody anybody tell me why we die we die
But I don’t wanna die

Group:
Ooh so wrong, ooh wrong, ooh so wrong, oooooh wrong

“Time Of The Season” by The Zombies
written by Rod Argent
album: “Greatest Hits”

It’s the time of the season
When love runs high
In this time
Give it to me easy
And let me try
With pleasured hands
To take you in the sun to promised lands
To show you every one
It’s the time of the season for loving…

chorus:
What’s your name?
Who’s your daddy?
Is he rich like me?
Has he taken an time
To show you what you need to live?
Tell it to me slowly
Tell you what I really want to know
It’s the time of the season for loving…

(repeat chorus)


#7
“Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns N' Roses
written by Guns N' Roses
album: “Appetite For Destruction”

She’s got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I’d probably break down and cry

Oh… sweet child o’ mine
Oh… sweet love of mine

She’s got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of warm safe place
Where as a child I’d hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain
To quietly pass me by

Oh… sweet child o’ mine
Oh… sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Were do we go
Sweet child o’ mine

#6
“For What It’s Worth” by Buffalo Springfield
written by Stephen Stills
album: “Buffalo Springfield: A Retrospective"

There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

chorus:
I think it’s time we
Stop children what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down

There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

(repeat chorus)

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

(repeat chorus)

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step out of line
The man come and take you away

(repeat chorus three times)


#5
“I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) by The Four Tops
written by B. Holland/L. Dozier/E. Holland Jr.
album: “Greatest Hits”

Sugar pie, honey bunch
You know that I love you
I can’t help myself
I love you and nobody else

In and out my life (in and out my life)
You come and you go (come and you go)
Leaving just your picture behind
Ooh…
And I’ve kissed it a thousand times
Ooh…

When you snap your finger
Or wink your eye
I’ll come running to you
I’m tied to your apron strings (I can’t help myself)
And there’s nothing that I can do

Can’t help myself
Ooh…
No, I can’t help myself
Ooh…

Cause sugar pie, honey bunch (sugar pie, honey bunch)
I’m weaker than man should be
I can’t help myself
I’m a fool in love with you

Wanna tell ya I don’t love ya
Tell ya that we’re through
And I’ve tried
But every time I see your face (I just can’t help myself)
I get all choked up inside

When I call your name
Girl, it starts the flame
(burnin’ in my heart, tearin’ it all apart)
No matter how I try
My love cannot I hide

Oh sugar pie, honey bunch (sugar pie, honey bunch)
You know that I’m weark for you (weak for you)
I can’t help myself
I love you and nobody else

Ooh sugar pie, honey bunch (sugar pie, honey bunch)
I’ll do anything you ask me to (ask me to)
I can’t help myself
I want you and nobody else
Ooh…

Sugar pie, honey bunch (sugar pie, honey bunch)
You know that I love you (I love you)
I can’t help myself
No I can’t help myself


#4
“When You Say Nothing At All” by Alison Kraus & Union Station
written by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz
album: “Now That I’ve Found You: A Collection”

It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don’t say a thing

chorus:
The smile on your face
Let’s me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes
Saying you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand
Says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best
When you say nothing at all

All alone I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What’s being said between your heart and mine

(repeat chorus twice)



#3
“California Dreamin’” by The Mama and The Papas
written by John Phillips/Michelle Phillips
album: “Greatest Hits”

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I’ve been for a walk
On a winter’s day
I’d be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreamin’
On such a winter’s day

Stopped in to a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher liked the cold
He know I’m gonna stay
California dreamin’
On such a winter’s day

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I’ve been for a walk
On a winter’s day
If I didn’t tell her
I could leave today
California dreamin’
On such a winter’s day
California dreamin’
On such a winter’s day
California dreamin’
On such a winter’s day


#2
“Living In A Moment” by Ty Herndon
written by Pat Bunch and Doug Johnson
album: “Living In A Moment”

Well the world just lost two lonely people
The world just lost two broken hearts
The odds were against it but baby here we are
In our own little place in our own little corner
This old cold world just got a little warmer
For the rest of my life
I’m gonna hold you in my arms

chorus:
And when they carve my stone
All they’ll need to write on it
Is once lived a man who got all he ever wanted
Tell me something
Who could ask for more
Than to be living in a moment you would die for

If I never get rich on what money can buy
It don’t matter to me and I’ll tell you why
I’ve got it all when I’m holding you this way
I’ll live to love you
I’d die to keep
Safe inside these arms that need you
I’ll be loving you with the very last breath I take

(repeat chorus)

Ashes to ashes
Dust into dust
I’ll lay beside you
Forever in love

And when they carve my stone
All they’ll need to write on it
Is once lived a man who got all he ever wanted
Tell me something
Who could ask more more
Than to be living in a moment
Loving every minute
Tell me something
Who could ask for more
Than to be living in a moment you would die for

Living in a moment
I would die for

“Nothing Compare 2 U” by Sinead O’Connor
written by Prince
album: “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got”

It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since u took your love away

Since u been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

It’s been so lonely without u here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby
Where did I go wrong

I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they’d only remind me of u
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better have fun no matter what u do
But he’s a fool
Cause nothing compares 2 u

All the flowers that u planted mama
In the back yard
All died when u went away
I knew that living with u baby was sometimes hard
But I’m willing to give it another try
Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
