Love Is Fair (It Breaks Everybody's Heart)

Kye Fleming - Dennis Morgan

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

There were good times there were bad times
Now there's no time for us at all
I can't blame you you can't blame me
That's how love goes it's nobody's fault

Love is fair I have discovered
It touches everyone one time or another
Love is fair makes no difference who you are
Love is fair it breaks everybody's heart

So it's goodbye it was a good try
And now we'll go our own ways
But if it helps just remember
We're not the only ones to ever feel the pain

Love is fair I have discovered...
Love is fair it breaks everybody's heart

Crackers

Kye Fleming - Dennis Morgan

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

Hello baby I'm sorry I said
The things I did it was a silly fight
I was wrong you were right
What I really mean to say is

You can eat crackers in my bed anytime baby
You can kick off all the covers in the middle of the night
You can sleep with the window open wide
Do anything as long as your by my side
You can eat crackers in my bed anytime

I should be happy no dishes to wash now
But my own no clothes to pick up
A double bed to myself now that you're gone
Oh but it's lonely I'm sorry I ever let you go
It's a matter of fact I've got to have you back
I just want you to know

You can eat crackers in my bed anytime baby
You can kick off all the covers in the middle of the night
You can sleep with the window open wide
Do anything as long as your by my side
You can eat crackers in my bed anytime

You can sleep with the window open wide
Do anything as long as your by my side
You can eat crackers in my bed anytime

Whoa you can eat crackers in my bed anytime baby
You can kick off all the covers in the middle of the night
You can sleep with the window open wide
Do anything as long as your by my side
You can eat crackers in my bed anytime

He's Out Of My Life

Tom Bahler

© Fiddleback Music, BMI

with Randy Wright

He's out of my life he's out of my life
I don't know whether to laugh or to cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife he's out of my life

She's out of my hands she's out of my hands
To think for years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so insincere
Now the way that it stands she's out of my hands

So I've learned love's not possession
And I've learned love won't wait
Now I've learned love needs expression
But I've learned too late

And you're out of my life you're out of my life
You're out of my life you're out of my life
My indecisions and my cursed pride
I kept my love for you locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife you're out of my life

And you're out of my life you're out of my life...

Not Tonight I've Got A Heartache

Dave Powelson

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

The music is tender your eyes are warm
From here in the corner you can't see the storm
Stirring inside me since he went away
But if you like a while you can stay
After all some small talk to help pass the time
You tell me your dreams and I'll tell you mine
That's as far as this evening can go
Thanks no thanks I'll be leaving alone

Not tonight I've got a heartache
Not tonight I've got a heartache
The love that you've charmed me it almost seems right
I can't pretend on a night like tonight

You can call in a few days cause things may have changed
But right now I'm ending and must rearrange
And pickup the pieces to my broken heart
Then maybe someday I'll make a new start

But not tonight I've got a heartache...

Not tonight I've got a heartache
Not tonight I've got a heartache
The love that you've charmed me it almost seems right
I can't pretend on a night like tonight

Long Time No Love

Kye Fleming - Dennis Morgan

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

Long time no see
Long time no you and me
Long time no tender touch
Long time no love

I'm sorry if I look a little surprised
You didn't call you didn't drop me a line
Forgive me I can hold back the tears
It just seems like it's been years
And I'm so glad you're here

It's been a long time no see
Long time no you and me
Long time no tender touch
Long time no love

I couldn't stand another night alone
This bed's too big and this room's too cold
I'll be your lover or I'll be your friend
I won't ask you where you've been
I'm just glad you're back again

It's been a long time no see...
It's been a long time no see...
It's been a long time no see...
It's been a long time no see...

The Best Of Strangers

Kye Fleming - Dennis Morgan

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

with Randy Wright

The best of friends the best of lovers
That's what we used to be
I just wish we'd ended up the way we started out

From one little room where we loved each other
To this big two story house
We wanted the best I'm afraid that's what we've got now

We're the best of strangers
(The best of strangers)
No one could do it any better
We live here separately together

We're the best of strangers
(The best of strangers)
We share a ceiling and a floor
But there's no feeling anymore
We're the best of strangers

We go to bed we turn out the light
We stare at different walls
And most of the time we don't even say goodnight

I don't touch you you don't touch me
Except passing in the hall
And then when we do we both apologize

We're the best of strangers
(The best of strangers)
No one could do it any better
We live here separately together

We're the best of strangers
(The best of strangers)
We share a ceiling and a floor
But there's no feeling anymore
We're the best of strangers

We're the best of strangers
We're the best of strangers

Sometime Somewhere Somehow

Jack Turner - Brant Beene

© Chess Music, ASCAP

I think there's something you should know
Now that you found someone new
I made up my mind and it’s a matter of time
Nothing's gonna keep me from you
Now no no no

So I say for now
Sometime somewhere somehow
I'll be with you my love
Feelings that I keep alive
Gonna see our love survive

So I say for now
Sometime somewhere somehow
I'll be with you my love
I believe that when my feelings say
Love is gonna find a way hey

Once a love like mine begins
Once I give away my heart
There's no turning back
It's a matter of fact
Nothing's gonna keep us apart

So I say for now
Sometime somewhere somehow
I'll be with you my love
Feelings that I keep alive
Gonna see our love survive

So I say for now
Sometime somewhere somehow
I'll be with you my love
I believe that when my feelings say
Love is gonna find a way

And this new love you're trying
Is not enough to keep us apart
Cause there's just no denying
All the love that's in my heart
All the love that's in my heart

So I say for now
Sometime somewhere somehow
I'll be with you my love
Feelings that I keep alive
Gonna see our love survive

So I say for now
Sometime somewhere somehow
I'll be with you my love
I believe that when my feelings say
Love is gonna find a way

My Bonnie Lies Over And Over

John Schweers - Royal C. Bannon

© Chess Music, ASCAP

My darling lies over and over
With lives that I can't believe
I say I don't love him
But he brings out the truth
Every time that he lies next to me

I left him for good twice last week
But he knew I'd come back around
Forever lasts about a day at a time
When he unties a bow on my gown

My darling lies over and over
With lives that I can't believe
I say I don't love him
But he brings out the truth
Every time that he lies next to me

Each time he hurts me
He swears it's the last time
He'll never do it again
But the devil had best better buy him a coat
Cause hell's freezing over again

My darling lies over and over
With lives that I can't believe
I say I don't love him
But he brings out the truth
Every time that he lies next to me

My darling lies over and over...

I'm Afraid He'll Find You (Somewhere In My Heart)

Kerry Chater - Michael Johnson

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

As I slowly climb the stairs I know he sits and waits
I don't know what I'll say when he asks me why I'm late
Maybe in the morning when it's cold and bight
I'll be over the feeling that I got for you tonight

I'm afraid he'll find you somewhere in my heart
I'm afraid he'll find you when I feel the feeling start
I don't know what I'll do if I can't hide you
I’m afraid he'll find you somewhere in my heart

Oh I never looked to around and I never wanted to
But you got so close so fast I didn't think it through
If I didn't really care no one would ever know
But the more I think about you the more I'm afraid it shows

I'm afraid he'll find you somewhere in my heart
I'm afraid he'll find you when I feel the feeling start
I don't know what I'll do if I can't hide you
If I can't hide you

I'm afraid he'll find you somewhere in my heart...

Oh I never looked to around and I never wanted to
But you got so close so fast I didn't think it through
If I didn't really care no one would ever know
But the more I think about you the more I'm afraid it shows

Coming On Strong

David Wilkins

© Moss-Rose Pub, BMI

Coming on strong coming on strong
I can feel the heartaches coming on strong
I can feel the teardrops the pain and the sorrow
Ever since you've been gone they've been coming on strong

Pain come on in
Hello sorrow I see you're back again
Teardrops glad you dropped by
Cause you can help drown my pride

And since you're here the time seems to fly
To let you know that you're gonna be with me
Till I lose my mind

But you've been gone much too long
And I can feel the heartaches coming on strong
The only thing you left me was misery for company
And memories of a love gone wrong that keep coming on strong
[ instrumental ]
Coming on strong coming on strong
I can feel the heartaches coming on strong
I can feel the teardrops the pain and the sorrow
Ever since you've been gone they've been coming on strong
Coming on strong coming on strong I can feel the heart
