Daytime Friends

Ben Peters

© Ben Peters Music, BMI

And he'll tell her he's working late again
But she knows too well there's something goin' on
She's been neglected and she needs a friend
So her trembling fingers dial the telephone

And Lord it hurts her doin' this again
He's the best friend that her husband ever knew
But when she's lonely he's more than just a friend
He's the one she longs to give her body to

Daytime friends and night time lovers hopin' no one else discovers
Where they go what they do in their secret hide away
Daytime friends and night time lovers they don't wanna hurt the other
So they love in the night time and shake hand in the light of day

And when it's over there's no peace of mind
Just a longing for the way things should have been
And she wonders why some men never find
That a woman needs a lover and a friend

Daytime friends and night time lovers hopin' no one else discovers...
Daytime friends and night time lovers hopin' no one else discovers...

Desperado

Don Henley - Glenn Frey

© Kicking Bear Music, ASCAP

Desperado why don't you come to your senses
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh you're a hard one but you got your reasons
The things that are pleasin' you will hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy she'll beat you if she's able
The queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
But you always want the things that you can't get

Desperado oh you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger they're drivin' you home
Freedom oh freedom that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day
Now you're losin' all your highs and lows ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away

Desperado why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences and open the gate
It's rainin' but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
(Desperado)

Rock And Roll Man

Kenny O'Dell

© House Of Gold Music, BMI

We'll be passin' through Phoenix just till my daybreak
So lay your head down you need to sleep
Won't have too much time to spend with your people
A cup of black coffee and we'll have to leave

They tried to tell you I'm a rock and roll man
It's a neon highway life with honky tonk band
You should've listened you should've turned around
You should've never fallen in with a rock and roll man

I know we can make it if they'll only listen
You do the drivin' I'll be making the rounds
You're such an angel me I'm a dreamer
Maybe we'll find it further on down the line

They tried to tell you I'm a rock and roll man...
They tried to tell you I'm a rock and roll man...

Lying Again

Larry Butler - Chips Moman

© Unart Music, BMI

The morning sun woke me
I felt the warm soft skin beneath my hands
The last night the devil got to me
In the day I'm just a common man

So I'll get up and say goodbye
And on the way home I'll make up my life
That holds our lives together one more time

I'll be lying again I'll be trying again
Hopin' I don't hurt you like the last time
But you'll be crying again you know I'm lying again
Tellin' you this is the last time

I'll be lying again I'll be trying again again

I'll Just Write My Music And Sing My Songs

Thomas Cain

© Combine Music, BMI

I've tried in every way I could to share my love
With every girl I've ever known rearranged my love
I guess I'm not the kinda guy that turns the ladies on
So I'll just write my music and sing my songs

I'll just write my music and sing my songs
Good or bad weak or strong I'll write right on
Cause my melodies and my harmonies never turn out wrong
So I'll just write my music and sing my songs

I'll write a song about heartache cause heartache is my namesake
We've come to know each other so very well
And misery is my lover it's closer than a brother
Cause it runs in my bloodstream so deep and so mean

I've seen LA New Orleans and New York town
I have yet one time to say that I have found
A love that’s real the kind that makes you feel like a soul is heaven bound
Heaven bound heaven bound heaven bound

I'll write a song about heartache cause heartache is my namesake...

Cause my melodies and my harmonies never turn out wrong
I'll just write my music and sing my songs
So I'll just write my music and sing my songs

My World Begins And Ends With You

Steve Pippin - Larry Keith

© Tree Pub, BMI

My world was no more than a dream
And waitin' on a dream can sure get lonely
Your love fell right into place
And filled an empty space with overflowing overflowing

Oh my world begins with having a friend when I'm feelin' blue
My world would end if ever I heard you say we were through
I just don't know what I'd do cause my world begins and ends with you
(Youooo hoo hoo)

Sometimes I tell little lies to see
If your eyes are lookin' through me
But you know lyin's not my style I just need your smile
Comin' to me reassurin' me

Oh my world begins with having a friend when I'm feelin' blue...
My world ends with you

Sweet Music Man

Kenny Rogers

© Jolly Rogers Pub, ASCAP

I wouldn't listen and I couldn't see
And all I have left now are words you said to me

Sing your song sweet music man
Cause I won't be there to hold your hand like I used to
I'm through with you
You're a hell of a singer and a powerful man
But you surround yourself with people who demand so little of you

You touched my soul with your beautiful song
You even had me singing along right with you you said I need you
Then you changed the words and added harmony
And you sang the song you had written for me to someone new

But nobody sings a love song quite like you do
And nobody else could make me sing along
And nobody else could make me feel
That things are right when I know they're wrong
Nobody sings a love song quite like you

Sing your song sweet music man
You travel the world with a six piece band
That does for you what you ask 'em to
And you try to stay young
But the songs you've sung to so many people
They've all begun to come back on you

So sing your song sad music man
You're makin' your livin' doin' one night stands
That prove to you they don't need you
You're still a hell of a singer but a broken man
But you're keep on looking for one last fan to sing 'em to

nobody sings a love song quite like you do
And nobody else could make me sing along
And nobody else could make me feel
The things are right when I know they're wrong with the song
Nobody sings a love song quite like you

So sing your song sweet music man
I believe in you

Am I Too Late

Jim Hurt - Larry Keith

© Windchime Music, BMI

I don't understand your hesitation
You always were so quit to say what needed to be said
But you're standin' there sayin' nothing
Please say something just don't tell me I'm too late

It took a while for me to understand my feelings for you
I hope it's not too late to say I love you cause I do
Before you turn away and the chance I had to love you is gone
You got to know I've finally found a feeling
I know I've not told you but I've lived my life to hold you

Am I too late to show myself
Is it too late to let you know
Do you feel me I'm touching you
It scares me to think you might say no
Cause it's too late to let you go

But you're standin' there saying nothing
Please say something

Just don't tell me that I'm too late to show myself...

We Don't Make Love Anymore

Michael Gordon - Kenny Rogers

© KMR Music, ASCAP

The love that we have is not so bad
Unless you think about the love we had
I don't know who closed the door
But we don't make love anymore

We used to love you used to care
Now it's hard to find the feeling we shared
You found a way to even the score
We don't make love anymore

So come lay down beside me and talk to me
Touch me with your body and your mind
Help me find the feeling and push all this behind
We'll make sweet sweet love one more time

You won't try and I'll understand
And we'll just live our lives the best we can
We turn out the lights we still lock the door
But we don't make love anymore

But come lay down beside me and talk to me...
One more time

Ghost Of Another Man

Roger Bowling - George Richey - Frank Dycus

© Brougham Hall Music, BMI

He's living in that big old house that he knows was built by me
He's playing with the baby that belongs to her and me
At night he loves a woman that was held by these two hands
He must be living hell to live with a ghost of another man

My name is in the side wall outside our bedroom door
He can't help but see what's too dare in me everywhere he goes
He gladly walked through heaven to forget what he can't stand
He must be living hell to live with a ghost of another man

I don't mean to haunt him when they turn out the lights
I'm there in the bedroom with both of them each night
And wonders if he just loved her as good as I loved her back then
He must be living hell to live with a ghost of another man
He must be living hell to live with a ghost of another man

Let Me Sing For You

Casey Kelly - Julie Didier

© Bobby Goldsboro Music, ASCAP

One bright sunny day I set on my way to look for a place on this earth
My life was a song just three minutes long and that's about all it was worth
I wandered around unlost and unfound unnoticed and misunderstood
Each thing that I tried just lessened my pride guess I didn't do very good

Then I saw you looking just like I felt so I walked up to you and I said

Let me sing for you
It's not much to ask after all I've been through
Let me sing for you
At least there's still one thing I know that I know how to do

I found you alone no love of your own I gave you a shiny new toy
I made you feel good as best as I could and I was your rainy day boy
I held you so near but you held this fear and felt like you'd been there before
The spell that was cast was too good to last soon the toy wasn't new any more

So I asked for some time and you gave me a watch
If it's that late already again

Let me sing for you...

Now you love to live and I love to give so tell me what difference it makes
If back in our youth we'd both known the truth we might have made different mistakes
You need a toy bear with soft fuzzy hair to lay next to you while you sleep
And I love you too much to look and a touch that's one promise I couldn't keep

And I'm not man enough to make love to you while you hold me an arm's length away

Let me sing for you...
Let me sing for you...
