Top Of The World

John Bettis - Richard Carpenter

© Almo Music, ASCAP

Such a feelin's coming over me there is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky got the sun in my eyes and I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
[ vibes ]
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's teelin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation...
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation...

Danny's Song

Kenny Loggins

© Gnossons Music, ASCAP

People smile and tell I'm the lucky one
We've just begun I think I'm gonna have a son
He'll be like he and me as free as a dove
Conceived in love the sun is gonna shine above

Even though we ain't got money I'm so in love with you honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
In the mornin' when I rise you bring a tear of joy to my eyes
Tell me everything is gonna be all right

Love the man who holds the world in a paper cup oh drink it up
Love him and he'll bring you luck
And if you find he helps your mind better take him home
Oh don't you live alone try to earn what lovers own

Even though we ain't got money I'm so in love with you honey...
[ steel ]
Even though we ain't got money I'm so in love with you honey...

Nobody Wins

Kris Kristofferson

© Resaca Music, BMI

Well it really it doesn't matter who's right or wrong
We've been hurting each other for much too long
And it's too late to try to save what might have been
When it's over nobody wins

Make believing in forever is such a line
And it seems a little sadder each time we try
Cause it's a shame to make the same mistakes again and again
Oh it's over nobody wins

We've gone too far too long too far apart
But loving was easy it's the living that's hard
For there's no need to stay to see the way it ends
Oh it's over nobody wins

Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia

Bobby Russell

© Pix-Russ Music, ASCAP

On his way his way home from Candletop
Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop
At Webb's and have him a drink fore he went home to her
Andy Wolo said hello he said hi what's a doin' Wo
Says sit down I got some bad news that's gonna hurt
Said I'm your best friend and you know that's right
But your young bride ain't home tonight
Since you been gone she's been seein' that Amos boy Seth
He got mad and he saw red and Andy said boy don't you lose your head
Cause to tell you the truth I've been with her myself

That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Don't you trust your soul to no backwoods southern lawyer
Cause the judge and the town's got bloodstains on his hands

Well Andy got scared and left the bar walkin' on home cause he didn't live far
See Andy didn't have many friends and had just lost him one
My brother thought his wife must've left town
So he went home and finally found the only thing papa had left up was a gun
Then he went off to Andy's house slippin' through the backwoods quiet as a mouse
Came upon some tracks too small for Andy to make
He looked through the screen at the backporch door
And he saw Andy lyin' on the floor in a puddle of blood and he started to shake
But Georgia patrol was makin' their rounds and he fired a shot just to flag 'em down
And a big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said why'd you do it
The judge said guilty in a make believe trial
Slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile
Said supper's waitin' at home and I gotta get to it

That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia...

Well they hung my brother before I could say the tracks he saw while on his way
To Andy's house out back that night were mine
His cheatin' wife had never left town that's one body that'll never be found
See little sister don't miss when she gets her gun

Oh that's the night that the lights went out in Georgia...
Oh that's the night that the lights went out in Georgia...

I'm Still Loving You

Glenn Sutton - George Richey

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

I know you know we know that I'm still loving you
Time won't erase the years can't replace the sweet dreams
That I shared with you
I know you know we know that I'm still holding on
To the sweet memory that always keeps me still loving you
Forever for us was really as long as we planned
And I won't stand by and not try to save the sweet love if I can
So let's try will you try I'll try to meet you more than half way
And you'll find nothing's changed that I still feel the same
Yes I'm still loving you

Kids Say The Darndest Things

Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton

© Algee Music, BMI

Kids say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play or the little songs they sing
Last night dressed up in high heel shoes and wearing my old hat
My four-year-old said I wanna divorce now where did she hears that

Kids say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play or the little songs they sing
Last night as I watched TV one rushed through the door
Mommy daddy's telling someone on the phone don't you call me here no more

Kids say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play or the little songs they sing
I bet my daddy can whip your daddy but daddy's never home
And I think mommy is worried bout him cause she cried all night long

Kids say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play or the little songs they sing
You never know what they learn in school or what they're thinking of
My first grader just say a four letter word and it sure wasn't love

Kids say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play or the little songs they sing

Sing About Love

Glenn Sutton

© Peer Music, BMI

What's the most powerful thing in the world
That everybody's always thinking of
The whole world's built around it
And nobody's happy until they found it
If you don't know it by now I'm talkin' bout love

If love was a bell you can bet I'd be ringin' it
If love was a song you can bet I'd be singin' it
And I'd sing do do do do do do do do do
Yes I'd sing do do do do do do do do do
Early in the mornin' or late at night
When you've got love everything's alright
You wanna go la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la

If love was a bell you can bet I'd be ringin' it...
You wanna sing la la la la sing about love

Killing Me Softly With His Song

Norman Gimbel - Charlie Fox

© Gimbel Music, BMI

I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him to listen for awhile
And there he was this young boy a stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with his fingers singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters and read each word out loud
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on

Strumming my pain with his fingers singing my life with his words...

He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
But then he was there this stranger singing clear and strong

Strumming my pain with his fingers singing my life with his words...

Thing Called Love

Jerry Reed Hubbard

© Vector Music, BMI / Sixteen Stars Music, BMI

Six foot six he stood on the ground
Weighed two hundred and thirty five pounds
But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love
He was the kind of a man that would gamble on luck
Look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him cryin' like a little whipped pup because of love

Can see it with your eyes hold it in your hand
But like the wind that covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man this thing called love
It can lift you up never let you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothing's ever been found that's stronger than love
[ guitar ]
Most people like me they struggle in doubt
Trouble their minds day in and day out
Too busy with livin' to worry about a little word called love
But when I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her baby to her brest
Than I thank God that the world's been blessed with a thing called love

Can see it with your eyes hold it in your hand...

Fickle Fortune

Liz Anderson

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

I wonder why so many times that made my teardrops fall
Made up my mind to try to find the answer to it all
I learned that love is fickle and it mostly turns out wrong
Love isn't worth a nickel till the right one comes along

That's love away and fickle fortune's spreadin' round and round
One day you're way up on top and next you're on the ground
Oh love will find your ups and downs and this one's happy-end
I'll pick me up I'll trust me off and bounce right back again
I'll pick me up I'll trust me off and bounce right back again
[ steel ]
And now you're gone and I'm alone and somehow the way I feel
It's hard for me to realize our love was never real
But I'll give love another chance like someone said to do
I'll try again and maybe then my next love will be true

That's love away and fickle fortune's spreadin' round and round...
That's love away and fickle fortune's spreadin' round and round...

Lonely Women Make Good Lovers

Freddy Weller - Spooner Oldham

© Careers Music, BMI

Lonely women make good lovers
They're all at mercy of a good lookin' smooth talkin' man
Lonely women make good lovers
So if you got a woman better treat her just as good as you can

Lots of times a lonely girl will go out on the town
With no thought of evil on her mind
She don't try to plant bad seeds
But there's something every woman needs
And a friendly smile will tempt her every time

Lonely women make good lovers...

Once a woman's tasted love she can't live without it
She'll search for something warm when she gets cold
And if her lips are wet with wine when it comes to lovin' time
She'll trade her pride for something warm to hold

Lonely women make good lovers...
Lonely women make good lovers...
