HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT

(Kris Kristofferson) « © '70 Combine Music, BMI »
Take the ribbon from your hair shake it loose let it fall
Laying soft against my skin like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time help me make it through the night

I don't care who's right or wrong I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow cause tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone help me make it through the night

I don't care who's right or wrong...
I don't want to be alone help me make it through the night

MIRACLE OF THE ROSARY

(Lee Denson) « © '71 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Oh blessed mother we pray to Thee
Thanks for the miracle of your rosary
Only you can hold back your holy son's hand
Long enough for the whole world to understand

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with Thee
Blessed are Thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus
Oh holy Mary dear mother of God please pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death
And give thanks once again for the miracle of your rosary

HEY JUDE

(John Lennon - Paul McCartney) « © '68 ATV Tunes, ASCAP »
Hey Jude don't be a fool take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude don't let me down take a sad song and make it better
The minute you'd let her into your heart then you can start to make it better

Let it out and let it in hey Jude begin to making the world a little better
Don't you know that it's a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little better

Hey Jude don't let me down...

Let it out and let it in hey Jude begin to making the world a little better
Don't you know that it's a fool who plays it cool in taking the world upon his shoulders

Hey Jude don't let me down...
(Better better better better)

La la la la da da...

PUT YOUR HAND IN THE HAND

(Gene McLellan) « © '70 Blackwood Music, BMI »
Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the waters
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself then you can look at others differently
Puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

My mama taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
And when I'm down on my knees that's when I'm closest to heaven
Daddy lived his life with two kids and wife you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes to get me through oh yeah

Put your hand in the hand of the man...
[ guitar ] Put your hand in the hand of the man...
Put your hand in the hand of the man...
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee oh yeah

UNTIL IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GO

(Buffy Sainte Marie) « © '65 Gypsy Boy Music, ASCAP »
You're not a queen you're not an angel you're a woman
I'm not a king just a man take my hand
We'll make a space in this life that we planned
And here we'll stay until it's time for we to go

Yes we're different we're apart we're not the same
We laughed and played at the stars like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart but incame
And here we'll stay until it's time for we to go

Don't ask why don't ask how
Don't ask forever love me love me love me love me now

This love of mine has no beginning it has no end
I was an oak now I'm a willow and I can bend
And though I'll never in my life see you again
And still I'll stay until it's time for me to go

Don't ask why don't ask how...

This love of mine has no beginning it has no end
I was an oak now I'm a willow and I can bend
And though I'll never in my life see you again
Here I'll stay until it's time for me to go
Yes I'll stay until it's time for me to go

WE CAN MAKE THE MORNING

(Jay Ramsey) « © '71 Careers Music, BMI / Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
I just thought I heard a small voice crying
Looked again and saw that it was me
I feel like a little boy denying
That he fears the night cause he can't see

Then a larger thought said stop your crying
Don't be scared to search cause you may find
Fate holds out a candle for your footsteps
Time rolls back the shadows of your mind

It's a long long lonely night you can make the morning if you try
It's a long long lonely night oh we can make the morning if we try
Girl we can make the morning you and I together (together together )

Loneliness is darkness first companion
Spend the night alone and faith may bend
Share it all and see how fear starts fading
Chase away the shadows with a friend

Dawn's elusive light is just beginning
Now the day can push away the night
Dreams can make the sun feel much brighter
Hope creates a foothold for the light

It's a long long lonely night...
It's a long long lonely night...

EARLY MORNING RAIN

(Gordon Lightfoot) « © '62 WB Music, ASCAP »
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain with no place to go

Out on runway No 9 big 7-0-7 set to go
But I'm out here in the grass where the cold wind blows
Where the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast
There she goes my friend she's a rolling now at last

Hear the mighty engines roar see the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines
She'll be flying o'er my home in about three hours time

This old airport's got me down it's no earthly good to me
Cause I'm stuck here on the ground cold and drunk as I might be
Can't jump a jet plane like you can an freight train
So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain

SYLVIA

(Geoff Stephens - Les Reed) « © '70 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
These long lonely evenings here I am on the phone
Wondering when she will call
She said she would write me cause she knows I'm alone
But I hear nothing at all

I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia
You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia
But when I'm with her Lord I forgive her
Cause she's more than the whole world to me
There's nothing like a word of love from Sylvia
The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
Feeling so sad now I'll be so glad now
If I just had my Sylvia with me

That old weeping willow seems to whisper her name
Why did she go away
The tears on my pillow they're not hard to explain
There's nothing else I can say

I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia...

FOOLS RUSH IN

(Johnny Mercer - Ruby Bloom) « © '61 WB Music, ASCAP »
Fools rush in where angels fear to thread
And so I come to you my love my heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me then I don't care

Oh fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love so how are they to know
When we met I felt my life began
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
[ guitar ] Yeah I don't care
The fools rush in where wise men never go...
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

I WAS BORN ABOUT TEN THOUSANDS YEARS AGO

(Robert M. Schultz - Elvis Presley) « © '70 Beam Me Up Music, ASCAP / Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saved king David's life and he offered me a wife
I said now you're talking business have a chair

Yeah I was born about ten thousand years ago
Ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
Saw Peter Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was born about ten thousand years ago
Ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was there when old Noah built the ark
And I crawled in the window after dark
I saw Jonah eat the whale and dance with the lion's tale
And I crossed over Canaan on a log

Yeah I was born about ten thousand years ago
Ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

Yeah I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw Peter Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was there when old Noah built the ark...

Yeah I was born about ten thousand years ago
Ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
Yeah I saw old pharaoh's daughter bring Moses from the water
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so

I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saved king David's life and he offered me a wife
I said now you're talking business have a chair

Yeah I was born about ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw Peter Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so
