Wall Of Tears

Richard Leigh - Peter McCann

© April Music, ASCAP

Looking out my window staring through the pain
I can't see the rainbow for the rain
Someday I'll forget you life goes on they say
But they don't know what's standing in my way

There's a wall of tears I got to get over
Got to stop thinking of you got to learn not to love you
I know the sun will shine I'm gonna be fine but until then
The rain's gonna fall just like a wall of tears

Another morning finds me I'm still not over you
It's just another day to stumble through
Now my nights go on forever I've got nothing but time
And even time can't mend this heart of mine

Cause there's a wall of tears I got to get over...

I'll Always Come Back

K.T. Oslin

© Mazdu Music, SESAC

Oh there's a nursery rhyme it's a fovorite of mine
Bout a little girl and some sheeps that she could not find
They told her not to worry they'd come back
Darling you're my shepherd I'm your little lamb
You ain't always gonna know where I am
Oh but don't you worry I'll come back

I'll always come back baby to you
I'll always run back straight to you
I'll never get too far away from you
I'll never get too lost that I can't be found
And I'm never gonna swim too far out I might drown
And I'll always come back come back baby to you

There's a wooden wonder from way down under they call a boomerang
If you handle it right it'll come back
If you must have had one when you were a boy
Cause you've got the touch that turns me into a toy
And like a boomerang I'll come back

Keep your eyes on the horizon and when you start to missin' me
Just look out your window and there I'll be

Cause I'll always come back baby to you...
I'll always come back come back baby to you

Younger Men

K.T. Oslin

© Mazdu Music, SESAC

Women peak at forty and men at nineteen
I remember laughing my bread off when I read that in a magazine
I was twenty at the time now I'm starin' forty right in the face
And the only trouble with being a woman my age is the men my age

That's why younger men are startin' to catch my eye
I'm startin' to stop what I'm doing just to turn around and watch 'em walk by
And the very next opportunity I'm gonna give a younger man a try
Cause younger men are startin' to catch my eye

Men my age poor old darlings are worried and harried
Lot of them drink too much whole lot of them are married
And here I am on the threshold of all that fun
And I'm gonna try my best to cross it with a yonger one

Oh that's why younger men are startin' to catch my eye...
[ instrumental ]
That's why younger men are startin' to catch my eye
That's why younger men are startin' to catch my eye

Eighty's Ladies

K.T. Oslin

© Mazdu Music, SESAC

We were three little girls from school
One was pretty one was smart and one was a borderline fool
Oh she's still good looking that woman hasn't slipped a bit
And the smart one used her head
She made her fortune and me I cross the border every chance I get

We were the girls of the 50's stone rock and rollers in the 60's
And more than our names get changed as the 70's slipped on by
Now we're 80's ladies there ain't been much these ladies ain't tried

We've been educated we got liberated
And that's complicated matters with men
Oh we've said I do and we've signed I don't
And we've sworn we'd never do that again
Oh we've burned our bras and we've burned our dinners
And we've burned our candles at both ends
And we've got some children who look just like the way we did back then

Oh but we're all grown up now
All grown up none of us can tell you quite how

We were the girls of the 50's...

A - my name is Alice I'm gonna marry Artie
We're gonna sell apples and live in Arkansas
B - my name is Betty I'm gonna marry Bobby
We're gonna sell beans and live in Brazil
C - my name is Connie I'm gonna marry Charlie
We're gonna sell cars and live in California

Do Ya

K.T. Oslin

© Mazdu Music, SESAC

Do you still get a thrill when ya see me comin' up the hill honey now do ya
Do you whisper my name just to bring a little comfort to ya do ya
Do you still like the feel of my body lyin' next to ya
Well I guess what I'm askin' do you still love me

Oh do you lie awake thinkin' I'm the biggest mistake you ever made
Honey now do ya
And if just by snappin' your fingers
You could snap them fingers and make it all go away
Honey now would ya
Do ya miss me when I'm gone but sometimes wish that I'd stay gone
Just a little bit longer
Well I guess what I'm askin' is do you still love me

Cause honey I sure do still love you at least I think I do
And these questions I'm askin' you could ask them of me too

Do you still get a thrill when ya see me comin' up the hill
Honey now do ya oh do ya
Do you whisper my name just to bring a little comfort to ya do ya
Do you still like the feel of my body lying next to ya oh
Well I guess what I'm askin' is do you still love me
Yes I guess what I'm askin' is do ya still love me do ya
Do ya oh do ya tell me do ya

Two Hearts

Rory Bourke - K.T. Oslin

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

You're the picture of lonely if ever I saw one
Sittin' at that table you look so all alone
Don't know what happened I don't know you're story
But if you had somebody I think you'd probably be home

Hope you don't mind if I sit down beside you
I believe we're two of a kind
It could get better to be back together
Cause hurting together beats hurting alone

Two hearts are better that one two hearts keep the pain on the run
When it's all night and the night's just begun
Don't you know two hearts two hearts are better than one

We don't have to face this all by our lonesome
All tied up by heartache surrounded by blue
Baby we found each other don't so the hardest part is over
Now it's just a matter of following through

We can hold on as the night swirls around us
We're gonna be sheltered in each other's arms
Oh you know baby it could be better if we were together
Cause hurting together beats hurting alone

Two hearts are better that one...

Dr. Dr.

Jerry Gillespie - K.T. Oslin

© Mazdu Music, SESAC

Doctor doctor can you spare me a minute
It's confidential just between you and me
Would you listen to my heart Tell me how it's holding up
Am I strong enough to fall in love again

Tell me doctor how many times can a heart be broken
Before it refuses to mend again
Will it give out suddenly with warning
Tell me how many loves have I got left

I've been reading all about the miracles
Something wears out
You replace it with something brand new
But knowing my history what would you prescribe for me
Have I healed enough to try just one more time

Tell me doctor how many times can a heart be broken...

Lonely But Only For You

Rory Bourke - Charlie Black - K.T. Oslin

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

My friends set me up with someone they know I'll just love they say
Oh he's just your type he's just the right one to chase your blues away
Friends are such good arrangers but I'm not in the mood for strangers

Honey I'm lonely but only for you
I'm only lonely for all the things we used to do
Hey I can function quite well hey you can hardly tell
That I'm lonely but only for you yes I'm lonely but only for you

Now I miss the love the touch that melted night into dawn
Oh I miss the talks I miss that shoulder I know I could lean on
It's the same old story no one else does anything for me

Honey I'm lonely but only for you...
I'm so lonely but only for you

Old Pictures

Jerry Gillespie - K.T. Oslin

© Mazdu Music, SESAC

There's a little girl playing dress up she's somewhere under all that lace
Standing in her mama's high heel shoes with a lipstick covered face
Here's a little boy on a pony he's a cowboy all the way
Used to pull my hair and make me mad at the Saturday matinee
Oh who'd have thought I'd lose my heart to the same little boy someday

Looking through my old pictures faded photographs
Some of 'em bring me close to tears others make me laugh
On those mem'ries they seem to come alive
And open up the past again and let me dream inside

Here's brother with his very first automobile
We thought he'd wash the paint away
He took a job that took him West he's doing very well
But we don't see much of brother these days
This is my favorite of my paw-paw he's all dressed up in his Sunday suit
Wide brimmed hat a watch on a chain I'm gonna tell you the truth
It's a picture of a downright handsome man caught in the prime of his youth

Ooh who took time to fly who rolled the years so long by

Looking through my old pictures...
