Let Me Be There

John Rostill

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

Wherever you go
Wherever you may wander in your life
Surely you know
I'll always wanna be there
Holding your hand
And standing by to catch you when you fall
Seeing you through
In everything you do

Let me be there in your morning let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonder land that only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there
[ instrumental ]
Watching you grow
And going through the changes in your life
That's how I know
I'll always wanna be there
Whenever you feel
You need a friend to lean on here I am
Whenever you call
You know I'll be there

Let me be there in your morning let me be there in your night...
Let me be there in your morning let me be there in your night...
All I ask you is let me be there

Me And Bobby McGee

Kris Kristofferson - Fred Foster

© Combine Music, BMI

Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the train
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans

I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield whipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands we finally
Sang up ever song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Body that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me through everything I done
And every night he kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas I let him slip away
Looking for the home I hope he'll find
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
And nothing left is all he left for me yeah
Cause feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Body that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

Na na na na na na...

The Banks Of The Ohio

Bill Fold

© Unichappell Music, BMI

I asked my love to take a walk
To take a walk just a little walk
Down aside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

And only say that you'll be mine
In no other's arms entwine
Down aside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

I held a knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
He cried my love don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity

And only say that you'll be mine...

I wandered home tween twelve and one
I cried my Lord what have I done
I killed the only man I love
He would not take me for his bride

And only say that you'll be mine...
Down by the banks of the Ohio

Love Song

Lesley Duncan

© Blue Seas Music, ASCAP

The words I have to say
May well be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do

Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen

You say it's very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there's no other way
And now it's really up to you

Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen

Love is the key we must turn...
[ instrumental ]
Love is the key we must turn...

Do you know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen
Do you know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen
Do you know what I mean

If Not For You

Bob Dylan

© Special Rider Music, SESAC

If not for you
Babe I couldn't even find the door
I couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue if not for you

If not for you
Babe the night you'd see me wide awake
The day would surely have to break
But it would not be new if not for you

If not for you my sky would fall
Rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you

If not for you
The winter would hold no spring
Couldn't hear the robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue if not for you
[ instrumental ]
If not for you my sky would fall...

If not for you
The winter would hold no spring
You couldn't hear the robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue if not for you
If not for you

Take Me Home Country Roads

John Denver - Bill Danoff - Taffy Nivert

© Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP

(Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mama
Take me home country roads)

Almost heaven West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah River
Life is old there older than the trees
Younger than the mountains growin' like a breeze

Country roads take me home...

All my mem'ries gather round her
Miner's lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine teardrop in my eye

Country roads take me home...

I hear her voice in the morning as she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin' that I should have been
Home yesterday yesterday

Country roads take me home...
Country roads take me home...

Take me home country roads
Take me home country roads

Angel Of The Morning

Chip Taylor

© Blackwood Music, BMI

There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can't bind your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn

Just call me angel of the morning angel
Just touch my cheek before you're leavin' baby
Just call me angel of the morning angel
Then slowly turn away from me

Maybe the sun's light will be dim
And it won't matter anyhow
If morning's echo says we've sinned
Well it was what I wanted now
And if we're victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light

Just call me angel of the morning angel
Just touch my cheek before you're leavin' baby
Just call me angel of the morning angel
Then slowly turn away
I won't beg you to stay with me
Through the tears of the days of the years

Baby baby just call me angel of the morning angel...

Just call me angel of the morning angel
Just touch my cheek before you're leavin' baby
Just call me angel of the morning angel
Just touch my cheek before you're leavin' baby oh baby

If You Could Read My Mind

Gordon Lightfoot

© Early Morning Music, ASCAP

If you could read my mind love what a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an ole time movie bout a ghost from a wishin' well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost you can't see

If I could read your mind love what a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel the kind that drug stores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me heroes of'en fail
You won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take
[ instrumental ]
I walk away like a movie star who gets burned in a three way script
Enter No 2
A movie king to play the scene of bringin' all the good things out in me
But for now love let's be real
I never thought I could act this way
And I've got to say I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

If you could read my mind love what a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an ole time movie bout a ghost from a wishin' well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet
The story always ends
If you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
The feelin' that you like
I never thought I could feel this way and I've got to say
That I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

Help Me Make It Through The Night

Kris Kristofferson

© Combine Music, BMI

Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it soft against your skin
Like the shadows on the wall

Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm taking is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

Mhm mhm mhm mhm mhm
Mhm mhm mhm mhm mhm
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't wanna be alone
Help me make it through the night

Just A Little Too Much

Johnny Burnette

© Hilliard Music, BMI

Sometimes I think I love ya
Ah just a little too much
You know you thrill me baby
With your magic touch
That's why I want you honey
And I love you like I do
I'm gonna scream and shout it
There ain't no doubt about it
That's why I love you like I do

Sometimes I think you kiss me
Mhm just a little too much
You drive me crazy baby
With your magic touch
You make me feel so good
When the moon is shining bright
With our lips together
And you're squeezin' me so tight

Now I went steady once before
Thought I loved the boy next door
He stepped out on me you see
He couldn't be true
Now I got over all my dreams
Time went by so fast it seems
Now I know I'll never get over you
Well alright
[ instrumental ]
Sometimes I think I love ya...
Yeah that's why I love you like I do
