SOMEONE TO GIVE MY LOVE TO

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice) « © '72 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I could search from now to the end of time
And never find another you
I'm so glad because I know you're mine
Someone to give my love to

Well I believe my love that you're one of a kind
For there's no one else like you
You're the light of my life so let it shine
Someone to give my love to
Well I find happiness is lovin' you
I'll do my best to make your dreams come true

I will follow you to the end of the earth
For my place will be with you
Now I have taken you for better or worse
Someone to give my love to

Well I find happiness is lovin' you
I'll do my best to make your dreams come true

The days of man-and-wife-time are precious few
And I will spend them all with you
Then beyond forever I'll wait for you
Someone to give my love to
mmhum mmhum hum hum

SEATTLE

(Ernie Sheldon - Jack Keller - Hugo Montenegro) « © '68 Colgems Music, ASCAP »
The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green than in Seattle
Like a beautiful child growing up free and wild
Full of hopes and full of fears full of laughter full of tears
Full of dreams to last the years in Seattle in Seattle

When it's time to leave your home and your loved ones
It's the hardest thing a girl can do
And you pray that you will find someone warm and sweet and kind
Cause you're not sure what's waiting for you

The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle...

When you find your own true love you will know it
By his smile by the look in his eyes
Scent of pinetrees in the air never knew it could be so fair
It makes you so proud that you could cry

The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle...
In Seattle in Seattle oh in Seattle in Seattle oh in Seattle

BACK IN BABY'S ARMS

(Bob Montgomery - Allen Toussaint) « © '63 Songs Of The Knoll, BMI »
I'm back in baby's arms
How I missed those lovin' arms
I'm back where I belong
Back in baby's arms

Don't know why we quarrelled
We never did before
Since we found out how it hurts
I bet we never quarrel anymore

I'm back in baby's arms...
[ guitar - dobro ] Thought I didn't need his love
Till she took it away
Now I'm back where I belong
And in my baby's arms I'm gonna stay

I'm back in baby's arms...
I'm back in my baby's arms...

I'M SO GLAD

(Neal Matthews - Gordon Stoker) « © '73 ATV Songs, BMI »
It's like taking all the joy life has to offer
And multiplying all of it by two
It's like adding eight more colors to the rainbow
I'm so glad I fell in love with you

It's like drinking from a fountain overflowing
With happiness and dreams that all come true
It's like finding all the gold in California
I'm so glad I fell in love with you

It's a lonely lonely world for a heart without a home
But it turns into a heaven when the right one comes along
Now I wake up to a dream come true each morning
And a world designed especially for two
It took your love to make my life worth living
I'm so glad I fell in love with you
Oh I'm so glad I fell in love with you

NOW

(Paul Parnes - Herb Strizik) « © '69 September Music, ASCAP »
There was a time not long ago I felt complete I loved you so
And nights would never get me down but this has all been changed around

Now my world is filled with loneliness
Now I hurt so I should love you less
But now no matter what I do
Can't ease my mind I find I still love you

You waved goodbye without a word a door that closed was all I heard
And now I feel there's nothing more all my happiness went out that door

And now my world is filled with loneliness...

Can't stop this livin' in the past how long does heartbreak have to last
If you'd come back to love again all my tears would stop but until then

My darlin' now my world is filled with loneliness...
Can't ease my mind I find I still love you

I'M SORRY IF MY LOVE GOT IN YOUR WAY

(Dallas Frazier - Sanger D. Shafer) « © '71 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
The kindness in your heart is all that kept us together
Your kind of patience seldom comes along
You stayed until I knew that love had left us forever
Till pride made me ashamed for hangin' on

I'm sorry if my love got in your way I know that you allowed me
Time you could have spent without me
For my sake you chose to take the long way of leavin'
I'm sorry if my love got in your way

LOUISIANA MAN

(Doug Kershaw) « © '64 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
At birth mom and papa called their little boy Ned
They raised him on the banks of a river bed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree
A home for my papa and my mama and me

The clock strikes three papa jumps to his feet
Already mama's cookin' papa somethin' to eat
At half past papa he's a ready to go
He jumps in his piro headed down the bayou

He's got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He's settin' traps in the swamp catchin' anything he can
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man

A muskrat hides a hangin' by the dozen
Even got a lady make a muskrat's cousin
Got 'em out dryin' in the hot hot sun
Tomorrow papa's gonna turn 'em into mon
[ fiddle - steel - fiddle ] They call my mama Rita and my daddy Jack
A little baby brother on the floor that's Mac
Big brother Ed's on the bayou fishin'
Fran and Malan are the family twins

On the river floats papa's great big boat
A that's for my papa goes into town
It takes ever bit of a night and a day
To even reach a place where the people stay

I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around
That's the day my papa takes the firs to town
Papa promised me that I could go
He even let me see a cowboy show

I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then
I told my papa gotta go again
Papa said hon we got the lines to run
We'll come back tomorrow cause there's work to be done

He's got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River...

Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man

YOU ARE GONE

(Johnny Carver) « © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Ev'rywhere I go ev'ryone I know
Seems to remind me that you are gone
Nothin' that I do is the same without you
It just reminds me that you are gone

Can't someone see how I cry
Does anyone care if I live or die
Ev'rytime I find love it's the same not real love
It just reminds me that you are gone
[ guitar ] It just reminds me that you are gone

Can't someone see how I cry...
It just reminds me that you are gone

BORN TO SING

(Cy Coben)
« © '66 Delmore Music, ASCAP »
(You were born to sing)

There's only one thing to do
When you find out that you were born to sing
No matter what your age you've gotta get on a stage
Cause you were born to sing

You gotta open up your heart and let the music start
It's a feeling you just can't explain
It's the kinda thing that makes a bird wanna sing
Or a spark burst into a flame

It's the hard life they say but you want it anyway
Cause you were born to sing
Call it vanity or pride but there's a message deep inside
That you've just gotta bring

In a schoolhouse hall or a president's ball
Before a beggar or a king
You've got no choice you gotta raise your voice
Cause you were born to sing

You gotta open up your heart and let the music start...

You've got no choice you've gotta raise your voice
Cause you were born to sing

PLENTY OF TIME

(Clay McLean) « © '71 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I got up on Sunday mornin' went to the church at ten
I listened to the words I'd heard time and time again
The preacher spoke of simple lives it seems he spoke of mine
But I was young I have plenty of time

I walked on down life's pathway living as I wished to live
Out to beat the other fellow out to get what life could give
Making money isn't sinful having fun is not a crime
So I'll just wait I've got plenty of time

Plenty of time to decide where I'm bound
To eternal darkness or to heaven's grounds
I'm just a young girl not yet in my prime
So I'll just wait I've got plenty of time

Before I knew what happened life scenes had passed away
And millions stood before God's throne for it was judgement day
Now eternal darkness beckons and the name it calls is mine
But I thought that I had plenty of time

Eternity waits I've got plenty of time
To think of all the days that Christ could have been mine
Now my chance is over earth's days have left behind
And you and I with plenty of time
Now I've got nothing but plenty of time
