Take My Hand

Take my hand and walk with me
Along life's road in harmony
My body's warm my heart is free
Take my hand and walk with me

Take the love I offer you
All I want is your love too
Happiness is all I see
Take my hand and walk with me

You're the reason that I live
I have so much love to give
I'll be yours eternally
Take my hand and walk with me

Take the love I offer you...

Anything's Better Than Nothing

Marie Wilson

Friends ask how I'll get along without you
They say it's so sad we're apart
And I'll have to agree that I don't seem like me
I'm having a ball with my heart

Anything's better than nothing
Nothing's not too much to lose
Anything's better than nothing
Nothing's what I had with you

I've got to admit that it hurt me
I don't like to fight or to fuss
But now you and me are happy we're free
Everyone's crying but us

Anything's better than nothing...
[ instrumental ]
It really must be disappointing
To see love and dreams turn to smoke
I can't blame my friends when their teardrops begin
I once thought that love made a home

Anything's better than nothing...
Nothing's what I've had with you

Life's Little Surprises

Ronal McCown

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

We married young and running scared
The people talked but we never cared
Cause we were pretty thick at least we thought we were
But I fell in with somebody new
Turned around and you had too
Right in front of me you know it really hurt me

But I said that's one of life's little surprises
One of the many things you just can't fight
I said that's one of life's little surprises
And I hope it's one of the kind that makes things right

Well I met the man I really loved
Thought that I'd reach heaven above
But people came around said he put you down
But I done everything I ever wanted to do
I found someone to make my dreams come true
But when he said we're through I thought my life was too

But I said that's one of life's little surprises...
But I said that's one of life's little surprises...

In The Vine

Bun Wilson - Doc Richardson

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

The sweet warm wine of passion
Led us both so far astray
And our love starved hearts have overruled our minds
And we trespassed in the vineyard
Where no fool should dare to tread
Now we find ourselves entangled in the vine

In the vine in the vine
We dared to taste of love's forbidden wine
And the grapes of wrath are bitter
When unfaithful hearts entwine
Yes we cheated and now we're tangled in the vine
[ instrumental ]
We both knew of all the dangers
Waiting on the path ahead
Yet we never once turned back or glanced behind
Then together we plunged head long
Through an under growth of life
Wove our web of self destruction in the vine

In the vine in the vine...
Yes we cheated now we're tangled in the vine

Back To Life

Joyce McCord

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

When the years show in our faces
From the thoughtless hand of time
And our youth is just a mem'ry to revive
We'll spend many happy hours
Thumbing through the past desires
And we'll bring each tender mem'ry back to life

For every day we live we add a mem'ry
And we store it in the corner of our minds
And when life's fire is just a dying ember
We'll bring each tender mem'ry back to life
[ instrumental ]
When we know our days are numbered
That we live on borrowed time
Our hands will search the darkness to entwine
Then we'll spend our last few hours
Looking through our treasured memoirs
And we'll bring each tender mem'ry back to life

For every day we live we add a mem'ry...
We'll bring each tender mem'ry back to life

Living And Learning

Terry Skinner

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

Now life is filled with ups and downs and we both had our share
And everytime I slip and fall you're still there to care
Together we can stand against the world as it goes turning
And we'll go on through life together living and learning

Let's call all the fun we've had living living
Let's call all mistakes we've made learning learning
We’ve stuck together and the love light's still burning
And we'll go on through life together living and learning
[ instrumental ]
Well everytime old trouble comes a knocking on our door
We stand and face it hand in hand like everytime before
We'll keep holdin' on and face each new day that comes dawning
And we'll go on through life together living and learning

Let's call all the fun we've had living living...
And we'll go on through life together living and learning

Then It Will All Be Over

Juanita Southern

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

If you're leaving in the morning
Don't wake me up to say goodbye
I'll be dreaming back a year or so
Back to our first hello
And don't want to wake up just to cry

I'll just kiss you for the last time
If you're asleep you'll never know
I'll tuck the covers round you tightly
Tiptoe out so very lightly
Turn the lights out in our world then I'll go

Then it will all be over
Someone from the past got in our way
Then it will all be over
All but the waking up to face the day

Please don't tell me where you're going
I may not always be this strong
If too much rain starts coming down
I may go running round
To another world where I don't belong

No I won't wake you just to tell you
Where I'll be if you don't want to know
Though deep inside I will be weeping
I'll leave you sleeping
Close the door to our world then I'll go

Then it will all be over...

Tangled Vines

Damon Black

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

Darling hearts like yours and mine
Should entwine like tangled vines
To grow and grow and slowly bind
True love like yours and mine

Give me your heart and take mine
Take my love and give me thine
Down the trail of life we'll wind
Entwined like tangled vines
[ instrumental ]
Darling while the grass of life
Is green let our love shine
For someday one of us will be seen
A step or so behind

Give your heart and take mine...

Down the trail of life we'll wind
Entwined like tangled vines

What Money Can't Buy

Howard White - Carl Knight - Clayton Ford

© Locomotive Music, BMI

Watch the rain fall o'er the fields and the valleys
Hear the thunder roar across the sky
See the sun ray shine through a wall without windows
We hold hands and smile at what money can't buy

We have a mansion seen only by me and you
Our days without sunshine are few
We've always loved even those who make us cry
Cause we hold hands and smile at what money can't buy
[ instrumental ]
Our children are playing no shoes on their feet
And patch after patch upon their knees
Yet we hear only laughter and people ask why
We hold hands and smile at what money can't buy

We have a mansion seen only by me and you...
Cause we hold hands and smile at what money can't buy

After The Fire Is Gone

L.E. White

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

Love is where you find it
When you find no love at home
And there's nothing cold as ashes
After the fire is gone

The bottle's almost empty the clock just now struck ten
And I just had to call you to our favorite place again
We know it's wrong for us to meet but the fire's gone out at home
And there's nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone

Love is where you find it...
[ instrumental ]
Your lips are warm and tender your arms hold me just right
Sweet words of love you remember that the one at home forgot
Each time we say it's the last time but we keep hanging on
And there's nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone

Love is where you find it...
