TRIP TO HEAVEN
(Freddie Hart)
« © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I just took a trip to heaven I didn't even have to die
How does it grab you baby can't you believe what's goin' on
Did you get that so good feeling it's coming on so strong
Ain't this loving really something I think my heart just touched the sky
I just took a trip to heaven I didn't even have to die
If I'm dreaming please don't wake me love may never come again
Hang on we'll ride together to a sweet or bitter end
Loving you performed a miracle I don't need no wings to fly
I just took a trip to heaven I din't even have to die
If I'm dreaming...
I just took a trip to heaven I didn't even have to die

I'M NO ANGEL
(Freddie Hart)

Well I met her at the outskirts of a small country town
But when I asked her for a date to show her around
She said the folks say I'm no good our romance wouldn't last
I said if it's all right with you we won't bring up the past
I know I'm no angel I don't pretend to be
If I'm good enough for her she's good enough for me
Let them stare let them criticize I love her I don't care
By her side I'm satisfied I'm so happy there
[ guitar - piano ]
Sunday when they realize mistakes they make themselves
They won't be too quick to judge the wrongs of someone else
When they undestrand the truth we love each other so
Then perhaps they won't be careless with the stones they throw
I know I'm no angel...

YOU BELONG TO ME
(Freddie Hart)

If I stood up I could reach up and touch heaven
That's how I feel cause you belong to me
Yes I'm bragging for I've got something to brag about
Just look at you you precious loving thing
I know it's true but I just can't believe it
I thought girls like you were only found in dreams
If you'd thrill me more my heart just couldn't stand it
I know now just how blessed a man can be
If I stood up...
When I hold you girl I hold my world here in my arms
And you're all there is as far as I can see
If I stood up...
That's how I feel cause you belong to me

TWIN OF AN ANGEL
(Freddie Hart)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Oh the twin of an angel must be you must be you
They say that everybody has a twin someplace
And I believe that what they say is true
For when I look at you I'm looking heaven in the face
Oh the twin of an angel must be you
I believe that any man would feel the way I do
If he'd love someone the way I worship you
But just a very lucky get up grims of heaven too
Oh the twin of an angel must be you
I think of precious moments that you're mine
I only hope he didn't sin you here just on the borrowed time
For you want such a perfect gleam and to think there's really two
Oh the twin of an angel must be you
Oh the twin of an angel must be you must be you

LOOK-A-HERE
(Freddie Hart)
« © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Look-a-here just look-a-here what I'm holding in my arms
Love I've thought I lost I found her now she's back where she belongs
Look-a-here just look-a-here we go so good together
Love is better now than ever look-a-here just look-a-here
Who's ever thought it was whatever the reason was
That made us break apart
Gives me a good excuse how I can put to use
All the love that I feel in my heart
Look-a-here just look-a-here it's just too good to be true
Miracles happen yes they do look-a-here just look-a-here

LOVE DID THIS TO ME
(Freddie Hart)
« © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Love did this to me love did this to me
Open up my heart so my eyes could see love did this to me
For a while I thought I couldn't make it
Life became a poory thing I just couldn't take it
Loneliness was tearing me apart
But love reached out the hand and grabbed all of my heart
Love did this to me...
My first taste of love was when I kissed her
Now my life's a paradise everywhere around her
What was half of man is now the whole
I feel so good all over right down to my soul
Love did this to me...
Yes love did this to me...
Love did this to me...

SKID ROW STREET
(Freddie Hart - Gary Williams)
« © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Where wounded hearts lie dying victim's all a broken back
I take my walk down lonely Skid Row street
It's not in the best part of the town but it caused to those like me
Who tried to lose their bad memories on blue lonely Skid Row street
Blue lonely Skid Row street
I wander blindly through the town I just follow my feet
But I wind up where hard liquor flows so free
For there I know I'll find someone who feels the same as me
For broken dreams and mem'ries meet on blue lonely Skid Row street
Blue lonely Skid Row street
They say I'll look back on it all at last someday
For letting my foolish heart control my mind
They say in time true love I'll find in someone that I meet
Who'll give me hope a cause to leave blue lonely Skid Row street
Blue lonely Skid Row street

COLDEST BED
(Freddie Hart)
« © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
This is a coldest bed in the world
Last night still half asleep I reached over
And I put my arms around the girl I love
Lord knows I never thought it snowed in summer
This is a coldest bed in the world
She caught me in the eyeand I'm guilty
For sin too bad to expect forgivenes of
Wish I had another blanket I could lay on me
This is a coldest bed in the world
Only time can heal the hurt I caused her
And erase the mem'ries of that other girl
Lying next to her wanting her but not having her
This is a coldest bed in the world
This is a coldest bed in the world

LIVING ON LEFTOVERS OF YOU
(Bob Morris - Freddie Hart)
« © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Living on leftovers of you
It's a miracle I'd been able to survive
Oh lucky me your memory keeps me alive
Thinking of you and all the things we used to do
Living on leftovers of you
I'm so hungry for your love I'm burning up inside
My world is closing in on me it's gonna bury me alive
And tonight another nightmare to go through
Living on leftovers of you
I'm so hungry for your love...
Living on leftovers of you

UGLY DUCKLING
(Freddie Hart)
« © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Just around the corner used to live Ramona Lee
A skinny little freckle faced girl used to run after me (ugly duckling)
Used to hang around my neck like a string of pearls
Telling everybody that she was my girl
Fool I was I ran her off I'm sorry to say
You oughta see now what I chased away
Ugly Duckling (kwack kwack kwack)
Uhm give anything if she would take me back
When she's grown up what a drastic change such a pretty change
A living doll with an angel eyes every each of pose a big surprise
You never know it Ugly Duckling was her name
[ guitar ]
Saw Ramona last night dressed out in her skin-tight jeans
I said hello Ramona but it was cotton-mouth routine
I said why don't we get together again
She said (maybe honey but just say when)
She teased just enough to make me worth cup of Slat
Makin' me remember that she didn't forget
Ugly Duckling (kwack kwack kwack)...
You never know it Ugly Duckling was her name
