For My Woman's Love

Ben Peters

© Glen Campbell Music, BMI

Like the first apartment that we had
That bumpy little couch that made into a bed
The shower down the hall and footsteps overhead
She said it's just fine

Times were hard for us for quite a while
But through those hungry days she faced it with a smile
Not wanting me to know she's carrying my child
She tried to ease my mind

And for my woman's love for my woman's love
Each day I thank the Lord above for my sweet woman's love

Through the years of moving town to town
Still searching for a dream somehow we never found
And wondering if we would ever settle down
Her love never died

And if I am anything today
I owe it to the love I had along the way
No matter what went wrong no matter come what may
She stood by my side

And for my woman's love for my woman's love
Each day I thank the Lord above for my sweet woman's love
And for my woman's love for my woman's love
Each day I thank the Lord above for my sweet woman's love

I'd Love To Lay You Down

Freed McRae

© Music City Music, ASCAP

There's a lot of ways of saying what I want to say to you
There's songs and poems and promises and dreams that might come true
But I won't talk of starry skies or moonlight on the ground
I'll come right out and tell you I'd just love to lay you down

Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay you down and tell you all the things the woman loves to hear
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
Oh darling how I'd love to lay you down

There's so many ways your sweet love's made this house into a home
You've got a way of doing little things that turn me on
Like standing in the kitchen in your faded cotton gown
With your hair all up in curlers I'd still love to lay you down

Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear...

When a whole lot of Decembers are showin' in your face
Your auburn hair has faded and silver takes its place
You'll be just as lovely and I'll still be around
And if I can I know that I'd still love to lay you down

Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear...
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear...
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear...

I've Never Seen The Likes Of You

Bob McDill - Wayland Holyfield

© Jack Music, BMI

You walk in and I can hear the whispers
As a hush fills the crowded room
You stand there looking just like heaven
Lord I've never seen the likes of you

From the doorway your eyes search every table
As every man turns to look at you
Ah you're special and anyone can see it
You know I've never seen the likes of you

And then I catch your eye from across the room
And you smile back at me as I walk up to you

I say hello there and put my arms around you
As I remember the day I married you
And now three kids later you're more beautiful than ever
And babe I've never seen the likes of you

The Feel Of Bein' Gone

Mike Morgan - Jeff Elliott

© Tree Pub, BMI

Early in the morning she'll be leaving
To visit with her mother for a spell
But I know that really ain't the reason
Cause I know what she's doing all too well

She says she don't know how long she's staying
Since she ain't seen her mother for so long
What she really means but isn't saying
Is she means to get the feel of being gone

She would never up and leave me
Unless she knew that it was really best
But she ain't got no way knowing
Till she puts me and leaving to the test

She's just got to know for certain
What it's like to live away from me
But I'm so afraid I'm gonna lose her
When she gets the taste of being free

I know that I'd be wrong to try and stop her
There's nothing I can do but play along
And get used to the feel of being lonesome
In case she likes the feel of being gone

We've Got Tonight

Bob Seger

© Gear Pub, ASCAP

I know it's late and I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry no one will care girl
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight who needs tomorrow
We've got tonight babe why don't you stay

Deep in my soul I've been so lonely
All of my hopes fading away
I've longed for love like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching even after today
So there it is girl I've said it all now
And here we are babe what do you say
We've got tonight who needs tomorrow
We've got tonight babe why don't you stay

I know it's late I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are both of us lonely both of us so lonely

We've got tonight who needs tomorrow
Let's make it last let's finding the way
Turn out the lights come to my hand now
We've got tonight babe why don't you stay

We've got tonight who needs tomorrow...
Oh oh why don't you stay

Soulful Woman

Kenny O'Dell

© House Of Gold Music, BMI

You lay out you fool around and finally you lose her
All the lies and alibis will fail to move her
And now days you never know who's gonna blow your cover
You better start cleanin' house of all them flaws that love her

And I'm not talking about tomorrow I'm talking about today
You might get another chance with her if it ain't already too late
And who knows she might forgive you and if she does you better walk that line
You're gonna lose that soulful woman she's gonna be mine

You oughta know what goes on when she gets no loving
Nights alone don't make a home she'll go out looking
So stand by let it ride and when love starts fadin'
She'll walk on out the door and buddy I'll be waitin'

And I'm not talking about tomorrow I'm talking about today...

A soulful woman such a soulful woman
She's a soulful woman and she's gonna be mine

Smoke From A Distant Fire

Ed Sanford - John Townsed - Steven Stewart

© Salmon Music, BMI

You left me here on your way to paradise
You pulled the tail right out from under my life
And so where you goin' to I knew when you came home last night
But your eyes had a mist from the smoke of a distant fire

Lord I was stung should have seen it a long time ago
When I realized the reality gave me a roll
If things are the same then explain why your kiss is so cold
And that mist in your eyes feels like rain on the fire of my soul

This lyin' and cryin' upsettin' and gettin' nowhere
It don't stack up so slack up and pack up I just don't care
Don't let the screen door hit you on your way out
Don't you drown when your dream boat runs onto the ground

I'd just like to know do you love him or just making time
By filling his glass with your fast flowing bitter-sweet lies
But he'll face the after taste when you come home late some night
With your eyes all a mist from the smoke of a distant fire

Girl your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire
(Your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire)
Your eyes have the mist from the smoke of a distant fire
(Your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire)
Girl your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire

She Thinks I Still Care

Dickey Lee - Steve Duffy

© Jack Music, BMI

Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I rang her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care

Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the memory of her lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care

Well if she's happy thinking I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
Tell me how could she ever be so foolish
Tell me where could she get such an idea

Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just bacause I saw her then went all to pieces
She thinks I still care

Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
What makes that woman think that I still care

Night Fires

Dennis Knutson - Eddie Burton

© ATC Songs, BMI

If you could spin on a cloud lookin' down at the ground
When the moon is high and the sun is gone down
You can see all the people in the cities and the towns
Buildin' night fires

A man takes a mind in the middle of the night
To take a woman in his arms and to hold her tight
When he gets so high the sparks start to fly
From the night fires

Night fires the flames are gettin' higher
Night fires burning with desire
We're gonna make the whole world shine a little brighter
Buildin' night fires

Night fires the flames are gettin' higher...

If you leave love alone though it's gonna get cold
There ain't now fuel and the fire gets low
So tonight you and I are gonna shovel more coal
On the night fire

Let's turn up the heat and turn down the lights
Gonna build us a ragin' fire tonight
And when love gets right our souls ignite
Into night fires

Night fires the flames are gettin' higher...
Night fires the flames are gettin' higher...
Night fires the flames are gettin' higher...
Night fires the flames are gettin' higher...
Night fires the flames are gettin' higher...

Turn On Your Love Light

Don Robey - Joe Scott - Deadric Malone

© Floree Music, BMI

Without a warning you broke my heart
You should've done it and tore it apart
You left me sittin' in the dark a cryin'
Said your love for me was dyin'

I'm beggin' you baby baby please
I'm beggin' you baby down on my knees
Turn on your light let it shine
On me shine on your love light let it shine on me
Let shine shine shine let it shine

Get a little lonely in the middle of the night
I need you darlin' to make things alright
I'm beggin' you baby baby please
Come on baby baby please
Turn on your light let it shine on me
Turn on your love light let it shine on me
Let shine shine shine let it shine

A little bit higher a little bit higher
A little bit higher a little bit higher baby
[ instrumental ]
Come on baby baby please
I'm beggin' you baby down on my knees
Turn on your light let it shine on me
Turn on your love light let it shine on me
Let shine shine shine let it shine

You know it feels alright well it feels alright
It feels alright well it feels alright
[ instrumental ]
Turn on your light let it shine on me
Turn on your love light let it shine on me
A little bit higher a little bit higher
A little bit higher a little bit higher baby
A little bit higher baby
