HAND OF LOVE
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '73 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
She came from the night looking lonely
And caught me when I was lonely too
We mixed a little wine and coversation
And something started pulling me from you
As we danced I could feel her body tremble
And then I heard her whisper are you free
I can't close to saying there was no one
But then I felt your hand of love on me
Pulling me back home where love is sweet and warm
Back in your precious arms where I belong
When desire almost overruled my conscience
Your hand lof love reached out and brought me home
When desire almost overruled my conscience
Your hand lof love reached out and brought me home

I CALL IT HEAVEN
(Harlan Howard)
« © '59 Tree Publishing, BMI »
They call me a fool and say it won't last
That you'll break my heart like the ones in your past
They're calling you wild you'll never be true
But I call it heaven just being with you
Perhaps I should listen perhaps I'm not smart
But I'll take my chances and fallow my heart
They call this a game you'll leave me some day
But I call it heaven don't take it away
[ steel - guitar ]
Perhaps I should listen perhaps I'm not smart...

I'M GONNA CHANGE EVERYTHING
(Alex Zanetis)
« © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Yeah I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you oh yeah
I'm gonna start with the halls take the pictures off the walls and burn 'em
Move the chairs around take the window curtains down and burn 'em
Everything I see reminds me you were here
Yeah I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you oh yeah
The candle of the set you gave me on the night of my birthday
The records that you bought the hi-fi we loved to play
The decorating man will come and rearrange them
Yeah I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you oh yeah
[ guitar ]
Take the carpet off the floor throw it out the door it's filled with tears
Everything I find that brings you to my mind must disappear
Every night I dream I'll dream of someone new
Yeah I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you
Yeah I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you oh yeah

I'LL STILL BE THERE
(Walter Woodward)
« © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
When your world falls all around you I'll still be there
When he's forgotten who you are I'll still care
When you wonder who will be the one to bring back your morning sun
And love you no matter what you've done I'll still be there
I'll still be there to start your world turning round again
You can count on me when your new love turns into a friend
With the shoulder you can cry upon the love you can rely on
When the dream you leaned on is gone I'll be there
[ guitar ]
So if you're happy now I guess that's all that matters
But I'll still be around when your dream world shatters
And when you cried enough to wonder where to find the one who really cares
Should you hear footsteps upon the stairs I'll ne there
I'll still be there to start your world turning round again...

CHANGES
(Ray Griff)
« © '73 Blue Echo Music, ASCAP / Next Decade Music, ASCAP »
I feel unhappy I feel so sad
I've lost the best friend I ever had
She was my woman I loved her so
But it's too late now I've let her go
I'm going through changes I'm going through changes
It took so long to realize
And I can still hear her last goodbye
Now all my days are filled with tears
Wish I could go back and change these years
I'm going through changes I'm going through changes
[ steel ]
I'm going through changes
