Song Lyrics

I dig your chili, you dig mine too;
It’s official between me and you.

I said lets tie the knot, and you said yes;
What a wonderful feeling to be so blessed.

We’re in love, we won’t get past it;
All of our eggs are in the same basket.

We’ll buy a house, children will come;
They’ll grow up and we’ll all have fun.

Would that love
Would that love
Would that love
Would that love

But it all starts with you and me
Beginning it all the way it should be
So let me tell you how I feel, just how much I care
I can’t express it exactly right, so I’ll say it in a prayer

Would that love, would that love that comes today
Be that love, be that love that comes to stay
And would that love be one that’s true
And would that love be always you
Would that love
Would that love
Be always you
Be always you
Be always you

I’ve had alibis, been compromised, told some lies and still
You just keep on loving me and say you always will
You connect me, protect me, correct me all the time
And I know that I need that and you know I don’t mind

I know He’s in there somewhere
It’s really plain to see
Cause only you and Jesus
Could love a man like me!

I’ve been a skunk, I’ve been drunk, my ship’s been sunk and still
You just keep on loving me and say you always will.
I’m disorganized, been unwise, I’ve plagiarized and more
You just keep on loving me when I should’ve been out the door.

I know He’s in there somewhere
It’s really plain to see
Cause only you and Jesus
Could love a man like me!

I can’t reciprocate with someone like you
I’ve been outclassed and out-loved
Since the day we said I do

I’m a mess, got no finesse, I’ve been distressed and still
You just keep on loving me and say you always will.
I’m behooved to get my groove and prove myself with a smile
But please keep on loving me; you know it might take a while

I know He’s in there somewhere
It’s really plain to see
Cause only you and Jesus
Could love a man like me!

With an attitude of gratitude, and no platitude unreal
I love you for loving me and promise I always will

I know He’s in there somewhere
It’s really plain to see
Cause only you and Jesus
Could love a man like me!
Could love a man like me!
Could love a man like me!

I heard the news before I got there,
But I had to see myself,
I never thought even father time,
Could put you on the shelf.

You were always my hero,
A giant among men,
That’s the way I saw it,
Though you never claimed to have been.

(but I needed) one more conversation,
One more fence to mend,
(to give you) one more salutation,
I so enjoyed being your friend.

You’re gone but not forgotten,
With some songs left unsung,
But we’ll sing them for you,
Til’ the last bell’s been rung.

We’ll meet again I know,
On God’s celestial shore,
We’ll say our sweet hell-os,
And there’ll sadness no more.

(but I needed) one more conversation,
One more fence to mend,
(to give you) one more salutation,
I so enjoyed being your friend.

Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah

I know we all go sometime,
When we’ve run the race,
I know that you’re in Heaven now,
So please, please save me a place.

And We’ll have lots of conversations,
Lots of fence to mend,
We’ll give the Lord our salutations,
I so enjoyed being your friend.
I so enjoyed being your friend.

I want to be with you
I love all your ways
I want to see that smile
The rest of my days

Don’t want to be a live-in
Wanna marry in a church
With a preacher and a singer
Who know every verse

I want to lift you up
To heaven above
I want to surround you
With Blessings of Love

I want everyone to know
The whole world to see
The love between us
Is a blanket we both weave

I want to lift you up
To heaven above
I want to surround you
With Blessings of Love, Sent from above, Surround you with Blessings of Love

Life is filled
With things we can’t see
But life’s meant for two
Would you spend yours with me?

I want to lift you up
To heaven above
I want to surround you
With Blessings of Love

I want to lift you up
To heaven above
I want to surround you
With Blessings of Love

Wanna lift you up
Wanna lift you up
Wanna lift you up
Wanna lift you up

I was born with this condition, Mama thought it would pass;
But I bought this old guitar, you know the die was cast
It’s in my head, it’s in my shoes
Bet your bottom dollar, it’s in you too

It’s in your soul, It’s rock and roll
It’s in your soul

They play it on a park bench, and in Carnegie Hall
And the words of the prophets are still written on its wall
It moves so easy, it slides so sweet
You just might find yourself lost in the beat

It’s in your soul, It’s rock and roll
It’s in your soul,

Resistance is futile, don’t even try
Just grab your partner and learn to fly
It’s good when you’re young , it’s fine when you’re old
It’s always hot, it never gets cold

It’s in your soul, It’s rock and roll
It’s in your soul,

Listen to the music
Get up and dance
Listen to the music
And take a chance on rock and roll
It’s in your soul

I was born with this condition, I don’t want to get well
When that beat starts up, it’s like Pavlov’s bell
My head starts spinning, my fingers snap
My feet begin to move, my hands start to clap

It’s in your soul, It’s rock and roll
It’s in your soul,
It’s in your soul, It’s rock and roll
It’s in your soul. It’s rock and roll
It’s in your soul.

Let’s skip the Champagne, I don’t want a beer
I don’t need anything really, I just want you near
I wanna play footsie, I want to see your face
I wanna rub noses, I want to be in your space

Can we just be’e
Can we just be’e
Can we just be-e e e e
Honey you and me
Can we just be

No hors d’oeuvers, Nothing fancy you see
Let’s just sit on this floor, And be, you and me
I want you to tell me how your day’s gone
I want you to tell me if anything’s wrong

Can we just be’e
Can we just be’e
Can we just be-e e e e
Honey you and me
Can we just be

No candle lit dinner, No crying love song
I just want to hold you, That’s where I belong
Wanna caress your hair, And see you smile.
Look in your eyes, And love on you awhile

Can we just be’e
Can we just be’e
Can we just be-e e e e
Honey you and me
Can we just be!
Honey you and me
Can we just be
Can we just BEEEE

Narcissism’s still my best friend;
It’s a very safe place to be;
Some call it original sin;
But it’s just my ego and me.

My ego and me, we’re real good buds;
We love our stuff, we love our duds;
Our car is hot, our place is great;
If you’re ever invited, well you can stay late.

We’re smart and good looking too;
Sharp and neat and always clever;
We rarely have a thought of you;
Sincere and humble, almost never.

My ego and me, we’re real good buds;
We love our stuff, we love our duds;
Our car is hot, our place is great;
If you’re ever invited, well you can stay late.

And you may sometimes wonder;
What is all the fuss;
But we really can’t explain;
What it’s like to be us.
My Ego and Me

We’re witty and tell a story well;
We love to make connections;
Beauty flocks to us at the sound of the bell;
But we prefer our own reflections. ………

My ego and me, we’re real good buds;
We love our stuff, we love our duds;
Our car is hot, our place is great;
If you’re ever invited, (and that ain’t gonna happen) you can stay late.

She left me on a Nashville Night; said she was headed south
I watched her walk away; the taste of tears in my mouth
She said she’d be back real soon, when she sorts out some things
Meanwhile I’m waiting with memories and this ring
We came up north, the chance was heaven sent
Now she’s taking a break, and I know just where she went

She’s hidin’ out in Texas, working on her songs
But I’m up here in Tennessee, wonderin’ what went wrong

She had one she liked; and sang it on the phone
I said that’s real good, but baby please come home
She said it’s not perfect; and I’ve got to get it right
I said darling it’s great, but it’s lonely here at night.

She’s hidin’ out in Texas, working on her songs
But I’m up here in Tennessee, wonderin’ what went wrong

Communication goes dark, by then I’m on the booze
Then one night her car rolls up, I go out with nothing to lose
She says hi baby, you know I got it all wrong
I’m still writing music, but you were always my best song!

And she said:
I’m not hidin’ out in Texas any more; I’ll do my thing by your side
Thank you for loving me, and forgive my foolish pride

And I said:

I’ve got no beef with Texas; we were born there you and me
But baby we’re together now and we belong in Tennessee
We belong in Tennessee
We belong in Tennessee.

I’ve come to the conclusion that life’s no illusion;
It’s not as hard as we make it;
It’s full of good and bad and happy and sad;
We just need to learn how to take it;

There’s a reason for each season
Through which we all must travel
Always enjoy the shining sun;
And when it rains, don’t unravel.

But don’t let this grey hair fool ya’;
If you want to we can school ya’;
About what it takes in life to soothe your soul;
It takes God and family and faith and friends;
And a little bit of rock and roll.

When life says reject, just punch the eject;
And move on to something new;
Hold your head up high and say thank you Lord;
And to thine own self be true!

There’s no question about the connection;
Between all of us who live;
It’s never about what you have;
It’s all about what you give.

And don’t let this grey hair fool ya’;
If you want to we can school ya’;
About what it takes in life to soothe your soul;
It takes God and family and faith and friends;
And a little bit of rock and roll.

I’ve come to the conclusion that life’s no illusion;
What you see is what you get;
But If you’re up and breathing and walking around;
It means you’re not done yet

Don’t sit there with a blank stare;
Please pay attention to me;
Jump into life with both feet first;
You now it’s gonna’ set you free!

So don’t let this grey hair fool ya’;
If you want to we can school ya’;
About what it takes in life to soothe your soul;
It takes God and family and faith and friends;
Can I get a chorus of Amens?
And a whole lot of rock and roll.

Will someone tell me what’s going on?
It’s been going on way too long;
Whatever happened to love?
You know the kind from above.

Talking ‘bout Love, Love, Love
Talking ‘bout Love, Love, Love………
Talking ‘bout Love
Talking ‘bout Love

Can we just stop all the hate
You know it’s never too late
To really love your fellow man
And it is promised you can.

We can make it happen
If open our hearts
We can make it happen
And that’s where it starts………
Talking ‘bout Love
Talking ‘bout Love

Give some grace away today
With something you do or say
Give mercy and blessings too
It’ll all come back to you

Talking ‘bout Love, Love, Love
Talking ‘bout Love, Love, Love………
Talking ‘bout Love
Talking ‘bout Love

Let the love come through your door
Black or white, rich or poor;
It makes no difference who
Heaven’s love begins with you.

It makes no difference who
It’ll all come back to you
It’ll all come back to you
Love will come back to you

Come to the Army and lay your weary head down
Come to the Army and take a look around

You will see we’re all the same and that is why Jesus came
Come to the Army and lay your head down
Lay your weary head down, Lay your weary head down.

Come to the Army and let your troubles go
Come to the Army; you don’t need ‘em no more

You will see we’re all the same and that is why Jesus came
Come to the Army and let ‘em go
Let your troubles go, Let your troubles go

Come to the Army and take Him by the hand
Come to the Army and then you’ll understand

You will see we’re all the same and that is why Jesus came
Come to the Army and take His hand, Come and take His hand

He’s waiting for you
He’s waiting for you
He’s waiting for you ooh ooh ooh
Come and take His hand

Come to the Army and give your heart to Him
Come to the Army, He washed away our sin

You will see we’re all the same and that is why Jesus came
Come to the Army and give it to Him
Give your heart to Him, Give your heart to Him,

Lay your weary head down echo--- Lay your weary head down
Let your troubles go echo--- Let your troubles go
Come and take His hand echo--- Come and take His hand
Give your heart to Him

I did not ask why I crossed your path
When it’s perfect, you always know
You’re the sweetest thing I ever did see
Take my hand and don’t let go

When I see you smile, it makes my day
And when I don’t, things aren’t right
Whatever may be troubling your mind
Remember morning follows the night

Take my hand
Walk with me
Walk with me,
Enjoy the sun
Take my hand
Walk with me
Walk with me,
Til the day is done
Take my hand

We are one
Never to part
We are one
Since you gave me your heart…….
Take my hand

The world is still going ‘round the sun
Fear and worry are the foe
And the Lord is up in His heaven
Take my hand and don’t let go

The rest of our days lie before us
May they be blessed and long
May we have peace, and love and joy
And may we always sing this song

Take my hand
Walk with me
Walk with me,
Enjoy the sun
Take my hand
Walk with me
Walk with me,
Til the day is done
Take my hand
Walk with me
Take my hand

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

One glorious morning, I will awaken
The sounds of joy will fill the air
We’ll live forever in just perfection
I cannot wait until we are there.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away
Please don’t take my sunshine away
Please don’t take my sunshine away
