Anna Marie - Jim Reeves

TONIGHT WHILE THE SNOWFLAKES ARE FALLING
HERE I MY DREAMS I CAN SEE
THE WHITE CHERRY BLOSSOMS OF SHAMON
WHERE I WALKED WITH ANNA MARIE
ANNA MARIE, ANNA MARIE, MY HEART REMEMBERS AND SIGHS
CE VOUS, CE VOUS, BE AMI BEAUCOUP
I MISS YOU ANNA MARIE
MY HEART WAS PLEDGED TO ANOTHER
BUT I KNEW AS I CROSSED THE SEA
THAT I'D NEVER LOVED ANY OTHER
AS I LOVED MY ANNA MARIE
ANNA MARIE, ANNA MARIE, MY HEART REMEMBERS AND SIGHS
CE VOUS, CE VOUS, BE AMI BEAUCOUP

When I need you - Leo Sayer

When I need you
I just close my eyes and Im with you
And all that I so want to give you
Its only a heartbeat away

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles of empty space in between us
The telephone cant take the place of your smile
But you know I wont be travelin forever
Its cold out, but hold out, and do I like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and Im with you
And all that I so wanna give you babe
Its only a heartbeat away

Its not easy when the road is your driver
Honey thats a heavy load that we bear
But you know I wont be traveling a lifetime
Its cold out but hold out and do like I do
Oh, I need you

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

When I need you
I just close my eyes
And youre right here by my side
Keeping me warm night and day

I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hand
And Im with you darlin
Yes, Im with you darlin
All I wanna give you
Its only a heartbeat away
Oh I need you darling

Sunshine on my shoulder - John Denver

sunshine, on my shoulders - makes me happy
sunshine, in my eyes - can make me cry
sunshine, on the water - looks so lovely
sunshine, almost always - makes me high
if i had a day that i could give you
i'd give to you a day just like today
if i had a song that i could sing for you
i'd sing a song to make you feel this way
sunshine, on my shoulders - makes me happy
sunshine, in my eyes - can make me cry
sunshine, on the water - looks so lovely
sunshine, almost always - makes me high
if i had a tale that i could tell you
i'd tell a tale sure to make you smile
if i had a wish that i could wish for you
i'd make a wish for sunshine all the while
sunshine, on my shoulders - makes me happy
sunshine, in my eyes - can make me cry
sunshine, on the water - looks so lovely
sunshine, almost always - makes me high
sunshine almost al the times makes me high
sunshine, almost always

You're my best friend - Don Williams

You placed gold on my finger
You brought love like I've never known
You gave life to our children
And to me, a reason to go on.

Chorus:
You're my bread when I'm hungry
You're my shelter from troubled winds
You're my anchor in life's ocean
But most of all, you're my best friend

When I need hope and inspiration
You're always strong when I'm tired and weak
I could search this whole world over
You'd still be everything that I need.

Repeat Chorus twice

I love you because - Jim Reeves

I love you because you understand dear
Every single thing I try to do.
Youre always there to lend a helping hand, dear.
I love you most of all because youre you.

No matter what the world may say about me,
I know your love will always see me through.
I love you for the way you never doubt me.
But most of all I love you cause youre you.

I love you because, because my heart is ligther
Honey everytime, everytime Im walking by your side
And I love you, yes I love you because the future is a little bit brighter
And the door, the door of my happiness, you open wide

No matter what may be the style or season,
I know your heart will always be true.
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons,
But most of all I love you cause youre you.

Wonderland by night - Engelbert Humperdinck

Stars hang suspended
Above a floating yellow moon
Two hearts were blended
While angels sang a lover's tune

And so we kissed
Not knowing if our hearts could pay the price
But heaven welcomed us to paradise
Blessing our love

Then came the sunrise
Fading the moon and stars from sight
Recalling always
Our wonderland by night

Stars hang suspended
Above a floating yellow moon
Two hearts were blended
While angels sang a lover's tune

And so we kissed
Not knowing if our hearts could pay the price
But heaven welcomed us to paradise
Blessing our love

Then came the sunrise
Fading the moon and stars from sight
Recalling always
Our wonderland by night

Summer Wine -Nancy Sinatra

Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things


I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said lets pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine


Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohhh-oh summer wine


My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine


Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine


When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine


Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine

One day at a time - Daniel O'Donnel

I'm only human, I'm just a man.
Help me believe in what I could be
And all that I am.
Show me the stairway, I have to climb.
Lord for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.

Chorus:
One day at a time sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking from you.
Just give me the strength
To do everyday what I have to do.
Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord help me today, show me the way
One day at a time.

Do you remember, when you walked among men?
Well Jesus you know if you're looking below
It's worse now, than then.
Cheating and stealing, violence and crime
So for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.

Send me the pillow - Hank locklin

Send me the pillow that you dream on.
Don't you know that I still care for you?
Send me the pillow that you dream on,
So darling, I can dream on it, too.

Each night while I'm sleeping oh, so lonely,
I'll share your love in dreams that once were true.
Send me the pillow that you dream on,
So darling, I can dream on it, too.

I've waited so long for you to write me,
But just a memory's all that's left of you.
Send me the pillow that you dream on,
So darling, I can dream on it, too.

So darling, I can dream on it, too.

Lovely Hula Hands - Marty Robbins

LOVELY HULA HANDS
GRACEFUL AS A BIRD IN MOTION
GLIDING LIKE THE GULLS
O'ER THE OCEAN
LOVELY HULA HANDS

WHITE HAWAII SANDS
NOTHING IN THIS TROPIC SPLENDOR,
LIKE THE LIGHTEST TOUCH
OF YOUR SLENDER
LOVELY HULA HANDS

WHEN OUR FINGERTIPS ARE MEETING,
GENTLY THEY CONVEY
MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY;
AND MY HEART SO MADLY BEATING,
GLADLY UNDERSTANDS
ALL THE TENDER MEANING
OF YOUR HULA HANDS
FINGERTIPS THAT SAY "ALOHA"
SAY TO ME AGAIN "I LOVE YOU"
LOVELY HULA HANDS

Beautiful Bluebird - Neil Young

One mornin' when I was ridin'
In my old pickup truck
A beautiful bluebird came flyin' down
My eyes caught the color
As it lead me down the road
Dippin' and bobbin' in the sun
I've never seen that blue before
'cept in one place
And she's not here with me right now
So I followed all the way
To the top of the hill
That's where she kept on climbin' lord
Someday I will

Beautiful bluebird
See how she flies
Looks like she's always goin' home
If heaven had a window
Where the sun came shinin' through
Like a beautiful bluebird
I'd come flyin' back to you

Well it kind of struck me funny
Sort of made me smile
After all these years on this old road

How God could show me somethin'
Never say a word
There's so much that I don't know
I've never seen that blue before
Except in one place
And she's not here with me right now
I followed all the way to the top of the hill
That's where she kept on climbin' lord
And someday I will

Beautiful bluebird
See how she flies
Looks like she's always goin' home
If heaven had a window
Where the sun came shinin' through
Like a beautiful bluebird
I'd come flyin' back to you

Beautiful bluebird
See how she flies
Looks like she's always goin' home
If heaven had a window
Where the sun came shinin' through
Like a beautiful bluebird
I'd come flyin' back to you

Welcome to my world - Jim Reeves

Welcome to my world
Won't you come on in
Miracles I guess
Still happen now and then
Step into my heart
Leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world
Built with you in mind
Knock and the door will open
Seek and you will find
Ask and you'll be given
The key to this world of mine
I'll be waiting here
With my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you
Welcome to my world

Knock and the door will open
Seek and you will find
Ask and you'll be given
The key to this world of mine
I'll be waiting here
With my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you
Welcome to my world
Waiting just for you
Welcome to my world
