If You Want To Find Love

Max D. Barnes - Kenny Rogers - Skip Ewing

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

He was sitting on a bar stool
A picture from a cheating song
She'd been standing by the jukebox
Dropping quarters all night long

He said tell me are you lonely
Is there some place we can go
She said cowboy you know I'm lonely
But there's something you should know

If you wanna find gold go looking in the mountains
If you wanna find silver go digging in stones
If you wanna find heaven go reading in the Bible
If you wanna find love go looking at home

She touched the gold ring on his finger
And held it to the jukebox light
And she said Stranger think what you're losing
If you leave here with me tonight

So he hold her body closer
She felt feelings she'd never known
And he said thank you for the lesson
And if you need me I'll be at home

If you wanna find gold go looking in the mountains
If you wanna find silver go digging in stones
If you wanna find heaven go reading in the Bible

Bed Of Roses

Rex Benson - Steve Gillette

© Rex To Riches Music, BMI

You're that one special woman
I thought I'd never find
With the stream to be gentle
And the courage to be kind

Though it hasn't all been roses
Still I know you understand
One of these nights
I'm gonna take you by the hand

And lay you down on a bed of roses
In the peaceful shelter only love can provide
I'll lay you down on a bed of roses
And then I'll lay me down right by your side

There's no diamond on your finger
Just a simple wedding bend
Since your knight in shining armor
Is just an ordinary man

Though I promised you a kingdom
And we don't have all we planned
One of these nights when we're making believe
I'm gonna take you by the hand

And lay you down on a bed of roses...

Someone Must Feel Like A Fool Tonight

Mike Dekle - Byron Hill

© Milene Music, ASCAP

Someone must feel like a fool tonight
Knowing they let you go
Someone is wishing they've done you right
Regretting they hurt you so

Now that you're here in my loving arms
Forget all your yesterdays
Someone must feel like a fool tonight
For letting you slip away

When I see the moon shining in your eyes
A feeling comes over me
The warmth of your touch makes me realize
Just how lucky can I be

Surely he knows and he's sorry now
That he turned your love away
Someone must feel like a fool tonight
Knowing you're here to stay

Two Good Reasons

James Pennington - J.D. Miller

© Life Gate Music, BMI

You might think I'm crazy carry on this way
Calling you up in the middle of the night
But I've got something that I just can't wait to say

I've got two good reasons I've been thinking of
Two good reasons why we should be in love
Come on baby it's so plain to see
I've got two good reasons about you and me

You might think I'm desperate
But maybe I just might be
How can I convince you to see the love
Come on baby won't you take a chance with me

I've got two good reasons I've been thinking of...

Some Prisons Don't Have Walls

Mike Dekle - Byron Hill

© Milene Music, ASCAP

As I walk down this busy street I think about your leaving
How my life may never be the same
I know I should be planning ways to enjoy this endless freedom
Losing you has put my heart in chains

Darling some prisons don't have walls
Your memory won't let me go at all
I found no way out since you've been gone
Some prisons don't have walls

Every night I turn the TV on to break the sound of silence
For a while it takes you off my mind
Just when I feel over you reality surrounds me
There I am right back doing time

Darling some prisons don't have walls...

They Just Don't Make 'em Like You Anymore

Jim Webb

© PolyGram Int, ASCAP

I've looked everywhere there is a love affair
I must replace racing through the people chase
But still surrounded by memories of your face

They just don't make 'em like you anymore
Not up in the mountains or down by the shore
Something shine in the fashion in the smile that you wore
They just don't make 'em like you anymore

In the eyes of someone new I wait for a glimpse of you
But it's never there one among the precious few
Your kind of person is becoming so rare

They just don't make 'em like you anymore
Like those white lace dresses at the second hand store
Or sweet old songs filtering out through the floor
They just don't make 'em like you anymore

Fashion comes and the fashion goes
And the gossip magazines and the videos
A brand new actress on a screen in a brand new style of clothes
But by any other name a rose is still a rose

And it grows in my memories
Wonder if you still are the same while I look for a remedy
Someone with a tender heart to clean your name

They just don't make 'em like you anymore
It's an easy thing to learn but so hard to ignore
Now I know exactly what I'm looking for
They just don't make 'em like they made 'em before
They just don't make 'em like you anymore

When You Were Loving Me

Zack Turner - Billy Kirsch

© Coburn Music, BMI

I stopped by the house we called our home
It was a little rundown the grass was overgrown
Its screen door was opening with the wind
I thought I heard you called my name again

I wish that I could hold on to the past
Cos everything is changing way too fast
I can't help it long for how it used to be
When you were here and you were loving me

I finally got that near to go inside
I made it to our bedroom door to cry
I always thought that we could come back home
These empty rooms just prove that I was wrong

I wish that I could hold on to the past...

Sunshine

Mickey Newbury

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Sunshine you may find my window but you won't find me
And sunshine I've got my friend of darkness here tonight to hide me
So sunshine as far as I'm concerned I'm where I want to be
And sunshine as far as you're concerned don't be concerned for me

Cause she doesn't love me anymore she doesn't want me Lord
She doesn't need me anymore she grew tired of chasing rainbows
But I loved her true and God you know I tried

And I guess she was right cause I'm at the end
I found the part but there's no golden sun
So sunshine can't you see I'm not alone don't bother me
And sunshine pick up your dawn and move on down the street

I'll Be There For You

Wood Newton - Gene Golden - Steve Glassmeyer

© Bravo And Encore Music, BMI

ll be there for you
You don't have to feel alone
Like a shadow by your side
I'll be with you right or wrong

You stumble and you fall
But you can always lean on me
I'll be there to see you through
I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you
When your dreams seem far away
Even in the darkest night
You can face the world unafraid

And if you close your eyes
You will feel me next to you
No matter what you're going through
I'll be there for you

Here today here tomorrow
Through the joy laughter and sorrow
You're in my heart with candid souls
If you could read my mind
You'd know

I'll be there for you
The one who comes to your rescue
I'm the one you'll never leave
I'll be there for you
No matter what you going through
I'll be there for you

How Do I Break It To My Heart

Wendell Mobley - Chapin Hartford

© Tree Pub, BMI

There's your picture by the bed I'm gonna leave it where it is
Cause if I tear it out tonight my heart would know
But something ain't right between me and you

I'm gonna lie here in the dark and pretend you're in my arms
And if I can't keep on crying out your name
My heart would think you're here beside me
And things are still the same

My mind knows it's over but how do I break it to my heart
If I let it down easy it'd still be torn apart
And if I tell it the truth then the pain is gonna start
My mind knows it's over but how do I break it to my heart

When I saw him by your side I guess it opened up my eyes
And my ears can finally hear your soft goodbye
But my heart still says I'm loving you tonight
And for the rest of its life
