TRUE LOVE

(Pat Alger) « © '90 Universal Music, ASCAP »
Adam met Eve on a Saturday night that's when the trouble started
She said Adam let's go for a bite she led him to the garden
And ever since then we tried to make sense of this mystery emotion
But we might as well try to count the stars in the skies
Or those raindrops in the ocean

Will you know it's true love deeper than deep hotter than the fire
When it's hard to find and it's harder to keep it's the thing we most desire

I was alone for so many nights I really started to wonder
If I had run out of chances to find a spell I could fall under
Then you walked in like in an Elvis film you were singing Love Me Tender
I was hypnotized by your blue eyes and the next thing I remember

Will you know it's true love...

And there is a true love in a winking eye and a sweet perfume that lingers
And it's an I love you on a new tattoo and that diamond on her finger

Will you know it's true love...
It's the true love we most desire

LORD HAVE MERCY ON A COUNTRY BOY

(Bob McDill) « © '90 Ranger Bob Music, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Well I grew up wild and free walking these fields in my bare feet
There wadn't no place I couldn't go with a twenty-two rifle and a fishing pole

Well I live in the city but don't fit in you know it's a pity the shape I'm in
But I got no home and I got no choice oh Lord have mercy on a country boy

When I was young I remember well I'd hunt the wild turkey and the bob-white quail
The river was clear and deep back then and fishin' lines tied to the willow limb

Well I live in the city...

Well they dammed the river they dammed the stream
They cut down the cypress and the sweet gum trees
There's a laundra mat and a barber shop and now the whole meadow is a parking lot

Well I live in the city...

DARLIN' THAT'S WHAT YOUR LOVE DOES

(Hugh Prestwood) « © '90 Careers Music, BMI »
Early thins morning before you awoke
There was mist on the creek while the cigarette's smoked
And when the sun rose up and burned off the cold
The smoke turned to silver and then turned to gold
Darlin' that's just what your love does that's what it does with a kiss
I'm not the man that I just was love don't get deeper than this

When I was young and my daddy was gone I'd go to sleep with the radio on
And sometimes they'd played such a beautiful song
Me and the Sand Man would sing all night long
Darlin' that's just what your love does when you just whispered my name
I'm not the man that I just was nothing about me's the same

Darlin' by this time tomorrow there's no telling who I might be
Your love just keep changin' me
And I've come to think that the heart's like a kite
And in the best breeze it's still cannot take flight

Darlin' that's just what your love does that's what it does with a touch
I'm not the man that I just was darlin' I need you that much
Darlin' that's just what your love does that's what it does with a kiss
I'm not the man that I just was love don't get deeper than this

JUST CAUSE I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU

(Jesse Winchester) « © '90 Fourth Floor Music, ASCAP »
It's true you've got me going round in circles
You keep me so darned dizzy I could cry
But every time you hurt me I grow a little stronger
I'll soon be strong enough to say goodbye

It will be so good to smile gee it's been a long long while
After all that I've been through just cause I'm in love with you
But there will come a day you'll see you won't have control of me
You can't hurt me like you do just cause I'm in love with you
[ keyboards ] I'll ask whatever saint looks after lovers
I'll ask would you please look after me
And would you kindly hear my prayer and have a little mercy
Please if she doesn't love me set me free

It will be so good to smile...

BACK IN MY YOUNGER DAYS

(Danny Flowers) « © '90 Welk Music, ASCAP »
Back in my younger days I used to go all night long
Now I just stay at home and everything is all right
Back when I first met you I used to live in a haze
But that was so long ago back in my younger days
I would do anything just to stumble and fool
It's a wonder I'm standing here I've broken so many rules
Now I dance with you every night and still I'm amazed
Your love made a man of me back in my younger days
Oh it doesn't seem that long ago
You you make it feel like the first time we made love
And I ain't even gettin' enough well well well

As I go through the photographs I laugh and turn the page
It's the ballad of me and you from such an innocent age
Talk about a dream come true we reinvented the phrase
It's better than it used to be back in my younger days
Back in my younger days back in my younger days
It's better than it used to be back in my younger days

DONALD AND JUNE

(Craig Bickhardt) « © '90 Colgems Music, ASCAP »
Donald and June enjoyed their brief honeymoon
Then they came home to lead the big baby boom
June wanted boys so Margie wore short hair and corduroys
Soon they had Claire then Linda and Louise a matching pair June liked boys

Donald and June they put some money aside
But all in four years they gave away three young brides
June spent it all Donald tried to keep each wedding small
When they were broke he offered Claire a thousand to elope Claire said Nope

If things were different for Donald and June then things wouldn't be what they are
Where did they go right and how did they ever come so far

Donald and June had finally emptied their nest
They planned a long trip and then a couple years rest
But Claire had a spat and turned up with her suitcase and her cap
Marg moved next door now she won't need day care anymore and the twins had twins

If things were different...
Donald and June enjoyed their brief honeymoon

DIAMONDS TO DUST

(Dan Fogelberg) « © '90 April Music, ASCAP /Hickory Grove Music, ASCAP »
Love is a question that few understand
It runs like a river between a woman and man
But it's course can get twisted it's bed can run dry
And a heart become desert in the wink of an eye
Once there was loving once there was trust
Once it was honest and open and just
Our love was a diamond that grew between us
But time can turn even diamonds to dust
Diamonds to dust oh diamonds to dust time can turn even diamonds to dust
[ guitar ] Uh huh uh huh
Time is a teacher it's kind and it's cruel
It gives you the wisdom to see you're a fool
And it gives love and takes love it hurts and it heals
And it never parts easy with the truth it reveals
Diamonds to dust oh diamonds to dust time can turn even diamonds to dust
Diamonds to dust oh diamonds to dust time can turn even diamonds to dust
Uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh

JAMAICA FAREWELL

(Lord Burgess) « © '63 Caribe Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP / Dimensional Music Of 1091, ASCAP »
Down the way where the nights are gay and the sun shines gaily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship but when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way won't be back for many a day
My heart is down my head is spinning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere and the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare my heart is there though I've been from Maine to Mexico

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way...
[ guitar ] Down at the market you can hear ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Ackey rice salt fish are nice and the run is good anytime of the year

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way...
Sad to say I'm on my way...

LOVING YOU'S LIKE COMING HOME

(Bob McDill) « © '90 Ranger Bob Music, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I've been rained on I've been wind blown
Took a wrong road every now and then
I've been passed up once or twice stuck
And I thought love was just around the bend
But lately my hope was wearing thin

It's a lonesome and endless highway I've been searching for so long
After all the miles I've travelled loving you's like coming home

I've been left flat I've been laughed at
Wound up right back where I started from
Been the wrong way down a one way
And I thought some day my day would come
But lately I'd almost given up

It's a lonesome and endless highway...
[ ac.guitar - fiddle ] Well I've been flagged down I've been turned round
And all that I found was a dead end street
I've been stranded marked and branded
Treated underhanded by everyone I meet
But lately my dream is gettin' weak

Cause it's a lonesome and endless highway...
It's a lonesome and endless highway...
