You Lift Me Up To Heaven

Bob Morrison - Johnny McRae - Jim Zerface

© Southern Nights Music, ASCAP

Been to Colorado where the mountains touch the sky
And I've done other things in life to lift my spirits high
But nothing that I've ever tried to do
Has taken me as high as loving you

Cause you lift me up up up up to heaven when you gently lay me down
You lift me up up up up to heaven yes you make my world go round

I never try to get away on daydreams anymore
Love's taken me to places that I've never been before
But if it's not heaven when you're holding me
It's the way that heaven ought to be

Cause you lift me up up up up to heaven when you gently lay me down...

And we never leave the ground
Up up up up to heaven yes you make my world go round

There Ain't No Future In This

Sharon Vaughn - Bill Rice

© Swallowfork Music, ASCAP

Honey I know you tried when you loved me tonight
But her memory slipped from your lips
So if she's on your mind that much of the time
There ain't no future in this

There was somebody who took a whole lot of you
And I guess you're not over it yet
If I'm just standing in for a memory
Then there ain't no future in this

Cause mine are the arms that hold you
But hers are the arms you miss
So if she's still the one when it's all said and done
There ain't no future in this
So if she's still the one when it's all said and done
There ain't no future in this

I Don't Think Love Ought To Be That Way

Laying Martine - Richard Mainegra

© Ray Stevens Music, BMI

Oh I'm feeling so fine and you're looking so good
And I'd like to get together oh Lord I wish we could
But there's someone at home who's depending on me
And boy they'd never know it If I set my passions free

But I don't think love ought to be that way
No I don't think love ought to be that way
I could tell him a lie and I know I'd get by
But I don't think love ought to be that way

You say a precious moment is all that it would be
That I'd forget about you and you'd forget me
Oh I love what you're saying it's tempting me so
And though I love to hear it there's no way that I'll let go

But I don't think love ought to be that way...
[ instrumental ]
No I don't think love ought to be that way...
No I don't think love ought to be that way...

Only You (And You Alone)

Andre Rand - Buck Ram

© Hollis Music, BMI

Only you can make this world seem right
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only you

Only you can make this change in me
For it's true you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand the magic that you do
You're my dream come true my one and only you

Only you can make this change in me...

I'm Not That Lonely Yet

Sharon Vaughn - Bill Rice

© Swallowfork Music, ASCAP

I don't mind to give you a slow dance or two
I'm sorry I'm not at my best
I know you can see I'm incredibly blue
But I'm not that lonely yet

I'll look in your eyes while you're dancing with me
And try to fulfill your requests
But don't ask for favors when it's time to leave
Cause I'm not that lonely yet

Now don't say you want me I've heard that before
The words weight like stones in my head
There may come a time when I'll think of it more
But I'm not that lonely yet

It's nice to be dancing to waltzes again
And maybe it helps to forget
You've opened the door but I'm not waltzing in
Cause I'm not that lonely yet
No I'm not that lonely yet

Can't Even Get The Blues

Thomas Damphier - Kerry Chater

© King Coal Music, ASCAP

I walk into the kitchen the silver ware is gone
The furniture is missin' I guess you got it all
Oh oh this is where it oughta hurt
Seems like everytime you leave me you try to think of somethin' worse

I can't even get the blues no more I try to worry like I did before
But nothin' happens when I walk the floor so what am I supposed to do
I toss and turn but then I fall asleep I'm goin' under but it's not too deep
You want to hurt me but it's just no use I can't even get the blues

This time ain't no different no sun up in the sky
Sittin' on the back porch clouds are rollin' by
Oh oh this is where it oughta rain
But it doesn't really matter pretty soon it's all about the same

I can't even get the blues no more I try to worry like I did before...
I can't even get the blues no more I try to worry like I did before...

Today All Over Again

Bobby Harden - Lola Jean Dillon

© King Coal Music, ASCAP

Is this how it is when it's over between a woman and a man
Must tomorrow just keep on being today all over again

You made it look so easy falling for somebody new
But I must be going about it all wrong for I just can't stop loving you

Is this how it is when it's over between a woman and a man...
[ instrumental ]
This morning I reached out to touch you a habit I've held for so long
But I just started hurtin' all over again like I have ever since you've been gone

Is this how it is when it's over between a woman and a man...

Why Do We Want What We Know

Don King - Dave Woodward

© Reba McEntire Music, ASCAP

Some come for the music some for romance
You gotta be with the boy that brought you to the dance
Then across the room there comes a casual glance
And you be making some dime even half the chance

Now some like to look and some like to touch
All the things that they can't have way too much
Some like to get real close to the flame
Once you feel the heat you know they're never the same

Why do we want what we know we can't have
Why don't we want what's in the palm of our hands
Why we're always lookin' at what's just out of our grasp
Why do we want what we know we can't have
[ instrumental ]
Well Susie was out drivin' her new Corvette
She hadn't made that second payment yet
She rear ended a Semi but not by choice
She was a rubberneckin' a new Rolls Royce

Oh why do we want what we know we can't have...
Yeah why do we want what we know we can't have...

My Turn

Jay Hugueley - Len Chiriacka

© Unichappell Music, BMI

Turn out the light turn yourself over to me
Turn off the world while I turn my feelings free
Just enjoy the pleasure for the pleasure pleases me
You've been turning me on all night long now it's my turn

You have reached the woman in me through the man in you
Let me be that woman before the loving's through
You just turn yourself over to me while I turn my feelings free
You've been turning me on all night long now it's my turn

All night long I've been thrilling to your touch
Haven't had time to give I've been taking so much
I know you want to hold me but darling you've done enough
You've been turning me on all night long now it's my turn

You have reached the woman in me through the man in you...

You're The First Time I've Thought About Leaving

Dickey Lee - Kerry Chater

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

I've seen you smile more than I thought you would
And I smile back a little more than I should
And lately at night while he's sound asleep
I'm thinking things that I shouldn't think

You're the first time I've thought about leaving
And I really don't know what I'll do
You're the first time I've thought about leaving him
I've never known someone like you
[ instrumental ]
Sometimes I wait when I really should go
And Lord only knows what I do that for
When I get home and he holds me close
I try not to think what I'm thinking most

You're the first time I've thought about leaving...
I've never known someone like you
