ISN'T IT ALWAYS LOVE

[ # 10 hit country album ] (Karla Bonoff)
« © '79 Sky Harbor Music, BMI »
Isn't always love that makes you hang your head
And isn't always love that makes you cry
Isn't it always love that takes the tears away
And you wouldn't have it any other way

I went out for a walk last night
The stars were out and the moon was bright
Then a voice inside my head
It hit me hard this is what it said

Isn't it always love that makes you hang your head...

And when you find someone who's good to you
Well some days are rough yeah some days are blue
But please don't go and throw it all away
Just wait a minute you gotta hear what I say

Isn't it always love that makes you hang your head...

I used to think that love was just a loser game
But then I swore that I'd never play to lose again
And now I know now I see it

Isn't it always love that makes you hang your head...
Oh isn't it always love that makes you hang your head...

I LOVE HOW YOU LOVE ME

[ # 18 hit country album ] (Barry Mann - Larry Kolber)
« © '61 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me
And when I'm away from you I love how you miss me
I love the way you always treat me tenderly
But darlin' most of all I love how you love me

I love how your heart beats whenever I hold you
I love how you think of me without being told to
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But darlin' most of all I love how you love me
[ trumpet ] I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But darlin' most of all I love how you love me

I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me...

I love how you hug me
I love how you squeeze me tease me please me
Love how you love me I love how you love me
I love how you love me
I love how you love me

CHILD WITH YOU TONIGHT

(David Wolfert - Sue Sheridan)
« © '79 Sosaha Music, BMI »
You seem so strong and I feel so tired
Feels like so long I've been uninspired
Could I really let go with you
Could I let you know what I'm goin' through
And could I be a child with you tonight

Could I be a child with you tonight
Could I cry without a reason and you'd never ask me why
Would you love me love me till the mornin' light
And could I be a child with you tonight

It's hard sometimes bein' grown-up
I know I'll be fine once I'm back in touch
But tonight I'll just forget the world
And just be somone's little girl
Could I be a child with you tonight

Could I be a child with you tonight...
Could I be a child with you tonight

THIS NIGHT WON'T LAST FOREVER

(Bill LaBounty - Roy Freeland)
« © '79 Careers Music, BMI »
Ev'rybody likes a celebration
Happy music and conversation
I'd be lyin' if I said I never got the blues
So pardon me for my disposition
You see I just can't keep from wishin'
I was celebratin' too

I know this night won't last forever
I know the sun gotta shine sometime
I got some hope for a bright tomorrow
I know this heart gonna mend just fine

In the corner there's a couple dancin'
From the kitchen I can hear them laughin'
Playin' the same ole songs on the radio
I wish I didn't have to sit and listen
And be reminded of what I'm missin'
Cause I would rather be lonesome alone

Suddenly there's a strange vibration
From my head to my toes
Fillin' me with a warm sensation
Somebody's lettin' me know

I know this night can't last forever...

I AM ALONE

(Aaron Gordon)
« © '79 Sosaha Music, BMI »
Well hello Mr DJ is there anything left to do
When the one you love finds another love and the both of them don't love you
I suppose nothin' matters save your health with a decent appetite
And the Lord provides for the lonely ones on a very long winter's night

I am alone tonight and yes I'm cryin'
I am alive and yet I'm dyin'
Without you love

Play the song where the guitars play along with a haunting melody
It's the one we loved when we had a love and when you belonged to me
Are you there Mr DJ oh I know that you gotta run around
So I'll let you go and do your show I'll be listenin' for my song

I am alone tonight and yes I'm cryin'...

Deep in the night there's a light inside my window
I don't know where my love has gone to
I've got a heart and it's broken right in two now
What I'd give to make you mine one more time

I am alone tonight and yes I'm cryin'...
Without you love

SAY YOU WILL

(David Wolfert - Steve Nelson)
« © '79 Sosaha Music, BMI »
It's slippin' away and we don't know where
You say it hurts too much to care at all and that's wrong
You act like all the love is gone but I just keep on hangin' on somehow for now

Cause I've been in love but I've never seen this kinda love before
And I can't throw it all away I know there's so much more

Say you will take a chance on us
I know there's a love there still
Don't you spend a lonely life hidin' what you feel
Just say say you will

You've been through it all you can't try no more
So you hide your heart and you close the door
What for there's more
Well I could be wrong but I think I'm right
All we need is the strength to fight come on be strong

Cause I've been in love but I've never seen this kinda love before...

Say you will take a chance on us...
Say you will take a chance on us...
Just say say you will

OUTLAW IS JUST A STATE OF MIND

(David Wolfert - Sue Sheridan)
« © '79 Sosaha Music, BMI »
(Runnin' in the night lookin' for a lover
Keepin' outta sight keepin' undercover)

You come to me from someone else well darlin' that's alright
I've watched you from a distance for some time
But you keep lookin' over your shoulder like a bandit in the night
You say you feel like an outlaw well that's just a state of mind

It's just a state of mind we're all on the run sometimes
Lookin' for a hideout nobody can find
When you're in that state between love and hate standin' on the borderline
Remember bein' an outlaw is just a state of mind

And if you want to steal my love well darlin' that's alright
You know I'd give it to you anyway
And if I try to take your heart and keep it next to mine
Well maybe I'm standin' on the edge with you but I'm guilty of no crime

It's just a state of mind we're all on the run sometimes...

Runnin' in the night lookin' for a lover
Keepin' outta sight stayin' undercover
Runnin' in the night lookin' for a lover
Keepin' outta sight stayin' undercover

Just a state of mind we're all on the run sometimes...
It's just a state of mind

COME AS YOU ARE

(Laura Allan)
« © '79 Sosaha Music, BMI »
You can lose your touch if you let love matter too much
Wanting it to be so right till it just can't be at all
Oh I know cause I've watched the feelin' die just as soon as I started to try
When you're watchin' your step too close then you stumble and fall

Don't you know you can come as you are
You don't have to prove anything to me
Just be yourself and come as you are to me
Oh you can come as you are
You don't have to prove anything to me
Just be yourself and come as you are to me

We make it so tough we get ourselves all worked up
When we start thinkin' that we got somebody to impress
Oh and when I see how hard we try sometimes it makes me wanna cry
Just be yourself and forget about the rest

Cause I want you to come as you...

When you think that nobody's listenin' you sing just like a bird
But when you turn around and see me standin' there
You start chokin' up on your words

Haven't you heard
That you can come as you are
You don't have to prove anything to me
Just be yourself and come as you are to me
Just be yourself and come as you are to me

COME RUNNING

(Van Morrison)
« © '79 WB Music, ASCAP / Caledonia Soul Music, ASCAP »
By the side of the track where the train goes by
Where the name will catch you and you will sigh deep in your heart
Then you'll come a runnin' to me um hum
You comin' a runnin' to me yeah yeah

When you watch that train go around the bend
Playin' dust and dreams that will never end deep in your heart
And you come a runnin' to me yeah you come a runnin' to me well all right

I said hey come runnin' to me oh come runnin' to me
Hey yeah come a runnin' to me
I said hey come runnin' to me oh come runnin' to me
Hey yeah come a runnin' to me

With your hands down by your side
And your arms just open wide
I wanna keep you satisfied till the mornin' sun is beside my side
Come on come on run well alright

Hey come runnin' to me oh come runnin' to me...

Hey kick the sand up with your heels
Think to yourself how good it feels
And say farewell to your walkin' shoes
And you come a runnin' to me
Yeah yeah you come a runnin' to me all right
And you come a runnin' to me

SEA OF HEARTBREAK

[ # 33 hit country album ] (Hal David - Paul Hampton)
« © '60 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP / Casa David Music, ASCAP »
The lights in the harbor don't shine for me
I'm like a lost ship adrift on the sea

The Sea of Heartbreak lost love and loneliness
Mem'ries of your caress so divine
How I wish you were mine again my dear
I'm on a sea of tears the Sea of Heartbreak

How did I lose you where did I fail
Why did you leave me always to sail

This Sea of Heartbreak lost love and loneliness...

Oh what I'd give to sail back to shore
Back to your arms once more

Come to my rescue come here to me
Take me and keep me away from the sea

The Sea of Heartbreak lost love and loneliness...
Sea of Heartbreak Sea of Heartbreak Sea of Heartbreak
