Islands In The Stream

Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb - Robin Gibb

© Crompton Songs, BMI

Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine toothed comb
I was soft inside there was something going on

You do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart we got something goin' on

Tender love is blind it requires a dedication
Honest love we feel needs no conversation
And we ride it together uh huh
Making love with each other uh huh

Islands in the stream that is what we are
No one in between how can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other uh huh
From one lover to another uh huh

I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothin' if you got no one
And you just walk in the the night
Slowly losing sight of the real thing

But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing

No more will you cry baby I will hurt you never
We start and end as one in love forever
We can ride it together uh huh
Makin' love with each other uh huh

Islands in the stream that is what we are...

Sail away oh sail away with me

Islands in the stream that is what we are...
Islands in the stream that is what we are...

Crazy

Kenny Rogers - Richard Marx

© Peer Music, BMI

Girl there are no words to say
What I feel in my heart
You you're on my mind night and day
And it hurts me when we're apart
When you're not here by my side
There is nothing in this world for me

I guess I'm crazy crazy for you can't you see
And although you may think I'm crazy
This is where I'll always be
I will always need your love

Now I can see every dream
When I look in your eyes
Though things never are what they seem
There is one thing that I realize
That there's no doubt in my mind
We can make this love go on forever

I guess I'm crazy crazy for you can't you see
And although you may think I'm crazy
This is where I'll always be
And I need you with me
cause you are the dream
That finally came true for me
And all my life there'll be no one else
If I looked all my life there could be no one else
And for the rest of my life all I need is you

Buried Treasure

Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb - Robin Gibb

© Crompton Songs, BMI

As I'm walkin' behind this plow I keep turnin' over mem'ries
Buried treasure of a past once filled with you
This old ground I know it's mine and I've worked it so many times
And the rain it's been prayin' for is fallin' from my eyes

Waitin' for the settin' sun when a hard day's work is done
We'd sit down and rock the baby and plan our dreams
But you turned it all around with this other man you found
And you never thought I'd figure out your scheme

And there's buried treasure hidden in the ground
Precious mem'ries of a love that lived and died
You couldn't be the simple wife you had to lead the cheatin' life
And you led me down the road I hate to ride

Now the neighbors they all knew they had seen him leave with you
But what they didn't see was I followed close behind
And the next day's paper read that a man had been found dead
And the lady he'd been seen with that can't find

And there's buried treasure hidden in the ground...

As I'm walkin' behind this plow I keep turnin' over mem'ries
Buried treasure of a past once filled with you
This old ground I know it's mine and I've worked it so many times
And the rain it's been prayin' for is fallin' from my eyes

Twenty Years Ago

Dan Tyler - Wood Newton - Mike Noble - Michael Spriggs

© House Of Gold Music, BMI

It's been a long time since I walked
Through this old town
But oh how the memories start to flow
And there's the old movie house
They finally closed it down
You could find me there every Friday night
Twenty years ago

I worked the counter at the drugstore down the street
But nobody's left there I would know
On Saturday mornings that's where
All my friends would meet
You'd be surprised to know what a dime would buy
Twenty years ago

All my memories from those days come gather round me
What I'd give if they could take me back in time
It almost seems like yesterday
Where do the good times go
Life was so much easier twenty years ago

I guess I should stop by Mr Johnson's hardware store
His only son was my friend Joe
But he joined the army back in 1964
How could we know he would never come back
Twenty years ago

I Don't Call Him Daddy

Reed Nielsen

© Longitude Music, BMI

It was six in the morning when I made the county line
There's someone I got to talk to I can't get it off my mind
He's just a kid and he's in a pretty rough spot
Two dimes to make a phone call that's about all I've got

How's my boy today I know it's been three weeks
But you know how far I've got to go to make those loose ends meet
How's your mama now with her new live-in friend
Oh how I hate the wounds that never seem to mend

And he says I don't call him daddy but he takes care of things
When you pick me up on Friday are you gonna bring me anything
Oh don't worry dad ya know it don't matter what we do
I don't call him daddy he could never be like you never be like you

God bless their little hearts they're the ones who really pay
When mom and dad can't get along and go their separate ways
In a way I'm glad there's someone there to fill the empty place
Tears of understanding streak down a dirty face

And he says I don't call him daddy but he takes care of things...

He is quite a little man growing up as fast as he can
And I don't get to see him half as much as I had planned
There's so much I need to tell him so precious little time
A little rain on the window in a little wave goodbye

And he says I don't call him daddy but he takes care of things...
And he says I don't call him daddy but he takes care of things...

I Prefer The Moonlight

Mark Wright - Gary Chapman

© Blackwood Music, BMI

When temptin' eyes cross the room
Said to me I'd love to be with you
I'm not tempted for a moment
I just think about my woman
My baby calls me on the phone
Telling me I need to hurry home
Well the hurryin' is easy
Cause she's waiting up
With all the love I'm needin'

I prefer the moonlight and a blanket
And the one right little lady by my side
That's what I like
I prefer a late drive down the turnpike
With the moonlight shinin' so bright
Got her by my side
That's what I'd like
When its magic moment time
I prefer the moonlight

The river plays a quiet song
She and I lay down and play along
She's her mother's lovely daughter
Moonlight dances on the water
The moon is full and so am I
I look at her and feel like I could cry
But my tears contain no sorrow
Cause I know she'll wake up by my side tomorrow

I prefer the moonlight and a blanket...

Mornin' noon and night
When the feelin' comes around
Somewhere in some sky
That ol' moon is surely shinin' bright

I prefer the moonlight and a blanket...

The Factory

Keith McGuire

© BMG Songs, ASCAP

I can't say that he loved his work but he fed a family of nine
Papa never heard of union he logged his scale in time
But he was a lucky man at least he had a job down at the factory

Forty years cut across his back fightin' it tooth and nail
Work was hard enough to make a man forget his fear of Hell
He was a thankful man he had a job down at the factory

Sometimes through the walls at night I'd hear him on his knees
Prayin' Lord please help me through another day
Give me strength and bless this house
This family of mine and thank you Lord for my job down at the factory

It's hard for a man to build a life on a miller's pay
But like father just like son at least I could pay my way
I'm a lucky man I've got a job down at the factory

As I put my kids to bed wonder what's in store
Ask the Lord for a better way cause they deserve much more
Than to raise their own with just a job down at the factory

Sometimes when it's late at night I get down on my knees...
We got more than some at least I got a job down at the factory

She's Ready For Someone To Love Her

Tommy Rocco - Charlie Black - Jerry Gillespie

© Bibo Music, ASCAP

Her heart has had more knocks than a gypsy's tambourine
Yet it's worth more gold than any man has ever seen
And although no one has fallen for her like she's fallen for them
She says her heart isn't broken it's only broken in

She's ready for someone to love her someone to hold her tight
Some to curl up next to when her feet get cold at night
She's weathered the whirlwind romance stood through the one night stands
She's ready for someone to love her who'll be the lucky man

Well she has had her fill of those unfulfiling men
You know the kind that come calling never to call back again
Oh she's bound and determined not to be fooled anymore
And poor thing she'll keep that promise the same way she kept it before

She's ready for someone to love her someone to hold her tight...

She's ready for someone to love her someone to hold her tight...
You know she's ready for someone to love her

Make No Mistake She's Mine

Kim Carnes

© Moon Window Music, ASCAP

with Ronnie Milsap

Don't call her up anymore
Cause I don't wanna hear your voice
I don't wanna see your face answer her door
Make no mistake she's mine she's mine

She only knows how I feel
I only know what she's like when she needs me
Oh how she needs me deep in the night
Make no mistake she's mine no she's mine

Don't get too close when you dance
Cause I don't wanna hear from my friends
You were out on the town
With her in your arms

Don't include her in your dreams
Cause I don't wanna close my eyes
No I don't wanna know where she goes
Each night when she leaves
Make no mistake she's mine no she's mine

Don't call her up anymore

Morning Desire

Dave Loggins

© Leeds Music, ASCAP

Here it's seven in the a.m.
It's gonna take more then wakin' to rise me
I wake up with this need again
But feel the love of the woman beside me
It's just one of those days

When I wanna lay here with her
And love her before I leave
And listen to the rain fall up on the roof
And the thunder sounds like horses hooves

Oh I listen to her breathe
And it makes me wanna wake her up
And tell her that I'm on fire
With morning desire

It looks like I'm gonna be late again
And I need to get up and get movin'
And I'm tryin' but the longer I keep stallin'
The more I think about callin' in and lyin'
It's just one of those days

When I wanna stay here with her
And watch her while she sleeps
And listen to the rain fall up on the roof
And the thunder sounds like horses hooves

Oh I listen to her breathe...

Well I love to hear the rain fallin' on the roof
And the thunder sounds like horses hooves

Oh I listen to her breathe...
With morning desire
