HEAVEN IS MY WOMAN'S LOVE

(Sharon K. Dobbins) « © '72 Chappel & Co, ASCAP / Famous Music, ASCAP »
Heaven is my woman's love gently rising with the sun
She gives me cause to face the day and brings me joy when day is done
Heaven is my woman's love heaven is the way I live
She gives me all the love she can and then somehow finds more to give

And when I see her in the morning light
I feel the same as in the dark of night
She is my everything and I'm proud of
The heaven of my woman's love

Heaven is my woman's love gently reaching out for me
All she wants is what I am searching not for what I'll be
Heaven is my woman's love happiness is what she gives
As long as she's with me I'll find heaven everyday I live

And when I see her in the morning light...

Heaven is my woman's love heaven is my woman's love
Heaven is my woman's love heaven is my woman's love
Heaven is my woman's love heaven is my woman's love
Heaven is my woman's love heaven is my woman's love

TO GET TO YOU

(Jean Chapel) « © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I would walk out of my friends to get to you
If I lose them all for your love I'll do that too
Guess they mean well when they tell me what to do
But they don't know how far I'll go to get to you

Burning bridges behind me to get to you
Breaking all ties that bind me to get to you
I hold your love far above what I go through
I'd give all I own for a stepping stone to get to you

If it's the last thing I do I'll get to you
Because I know just how much you want me to
You're the only thing that can bring my world in view
Every breath I take every move I make is to get to you

Burning bridges behind me to get to you...

YOUR LOVE CONTROLS MY LIFE

(Joe Cunningham - Robert McCracken - Tommy Overtsreet) « © '72 Really Average Tunes, ASCAP »
I walk out by saying I don't love you
But everybody know I still do
Without a doubt I know that I've hurt you
But in my mind there was nothing else to do

Cause I took advatage of your love by being so free with her
And I couldn't face myself knowing someday you'd learn
All of tomorrows I'd spend would only remind me
Your love controls my life and I wish I could live it again

For each you cried I'd die a thousand times
And the guilt I feel is much worse than the crime
But for fear out of light to say you my peace a burnin'
But for once I thought of your heart instead of mine

Cause I took advatage of your love...
Your love controls my life and I wish I could live it again

HOW DO I TELL YOU GOODBYE

(Deborah Bryson) « © '72 Echappee Music, BMI »
I hate myself for thinking what I'm thinking
Still these crazy thoughts run through my mind
I don't understand it I swear I never palnned it
Girl you know I've loved you all this time

How do I tell you goodbye
How do I break your heart and not make you cry
I made you my love you gave me your life
Now how do I tell you goodbye

It's not that I don't love you I guess I'll always love you
But now I love you in a different way
I know I'll have to tell you but everytime I try to
I can never find the words to say

How do I tell you goodbye
How do I break your heart and not make you cry
We shared through the years the laughter the tears
Now how do I tell how do I tell how do I tell you goodbye

BABY'S GONE

(Ricci Mareno - Bobby Fisher) « © '72 Robert Jo Music, ASCAP »
Morning comes and the sun warms my bed
I reach out she's not there something's wrong
Rub my eyes shake the sleep from my head
When it comes I remember again baby's gone

Baby's gone and the world seem to rush in my ears
Baby's gone and the warm morning sun disappears
Baby's gone and the birds have stopped singing their song
Just as though they all know baby's gone
[ steel + guitar ] Fragrance of her perfume fills the air
Traces of her sweet love linger on
Silence rings through the house everywhere
Little things seem to keep telling me baby's gone

Baby's gone and the world seem to rush in my ears...

LOVE DON'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE

(Kris Kristofferson) « © '64 Combine Music, BMI »
Perfect strangers sitting down face to face
Like we'd never met before
Nothing's left between us but the space between us
Love don't live here anymore

Faded photographs dusty dreams
Lying scattered on the floor
Nothing's here to bind us to the years behind us
Love don't live here anymore

Never sharing nothing we don't care
I've got nothing close to nothing you'd care to hear

Nail the shutters down pull the shadow
Hhang a sign upon the door
There's no use pretending there's no happy ending
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore

SEED BEFORE THE ROSE

(Ricci Mareno - Jerry Gillespie) « © '72 ATV Tunes, ASCAP »
We were both so young and impatient at the time
We thought we were in love so we closed our minds when they told us
Love is like a rose it doesn't just appear
Give it time to grow or it ends with tears

There's gotta be a seed before the rose
Tender lovin' care makes it sweeter as it grows
There's gotta be love before the tie is bound
Or the rose will end with petals on the ground

But we paid no mind to the things that he have been told
And we pledged our love with a band of gold on our fingers
Now when I look back all that I can see
Is heartache and regret and it's clear to me

There's gotta be a seed before the rose...

There's gotta be a seed before the rose
There's gotta be a seed before the rose
There's gotta be a seed before the rose

FORGET HIM

(Ricci Mareno - Charlie Black) « © '72 Robert Jo Music, ASCAP »
I see the look in your eyes everytime he's near you
I see the fire burn high when he speaks your name
Don't let him under your skin stop it before it begins
Please baby don't let him win

Forget him forget him
He'll break your heart if you let him
Baby please forget him

He plays a kind of a game that can only hurt you
He'll promise love that won't die but he'll let you down
He knows the right words to say don't let them lead you astray
Don't let him take you away

Forget him forget him...
Forget him forget him...
Forget him forget him...

I believe in you love sweet sweet you love
Everlovin' true love I believe in you girl

I believe in you girl cross my heart I do girl
And I'll tell the whole world I believe in you

And when I say I love you
With all the love that's mine to give

Don't believe in wishin' or in superstition
But I guarantee take it girl from me I believe in you

And when I say I love you I love you I love you
With all the love that's mine to give
I don't just mean I love you
I mean I love you everyday I live

I believe in you love sweet sweet you love
Everlovin' true love I believe in you girl
I believe in you love sweet sweet you love
Everlovin' true love I believe in you girl

IT'S GONNA TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER

(Ben Peters) « © '72 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Baby it's gonna take a little bit longer
For me to ever get you off of my mind
Baby it's gonna take a little bit longer
Cause I've been lovin' you a long long time

People try to tell me that it won't be long
Till I won't even miss you anymore
But I can tell them it must be something mighty wrong
Cause every day I want you even more

And baby it's gonna take a little bit longer...
[ guitar - steel ] They say this lonely feeling it'll go away
But after all this time now it ain't gone
Every weaken moment and every night and day
It just seems to keep on keeping on

And baby it's gonna take a little bit longer...
I've been lovin' you a long long time

DON'T BE AFRAID TO GIVE ME LOVE

(Ann J. Morton - Milton Blackford - Larry Baunagh) « © '72 Famous Music, ASCAP »
I touch your lips they reach my heart
So baby know right from the start
I think we go like hand in glove
The time has come don't be afraid to give me love

The tender way you treat a man
Puts my heart right in your hands
I need your warm and gentle touch
The time has come don't be afraid to give me love

Don't hold back the love that the woman in you wants to give
Just give me the chance to show your heart how to live
Let's make this night a lifetime to remember
The time has come don't be afraid to give me love

I love your smile your soft caress
I could go on but I guess
I've said enough what's left to say
The time has come don't be afraid to give me love

Don't hold back the love that the woman in you wants to give...
