Love's Been A Long Time

Love’s Been A Long Time Rick Neeley (Chorus) Love’s been a long time, a long time comin’ Love’s been a long time along the way The road’s a rough one but well worth the runnin Love’s been a long time comin’ your way When we were children playing in the sunshine Who could believe we would grow so fast And now I know much more than I’m tellin’  Those simple days are a long time past (Chorus) Now we’re older and our lives have been changing Who could believe what the years would do And now I know much more than I’m tellin’ The simple truth is I found you  (Bridge) No one sees into the future No one knows what tomorrow will hold Love just happens without reason We live and love as the days unfold (Instrumental interlude)                                        (Bridge) Love’s been a long time, a long time comin’ Love’s been a long time along the way The road’s a rough one but well worth the runnin Love’s been a long time comin’ my way

Outbound Plane

Outbound Plane Nanci Griffith/Tom Russell Don't wanna be standing here with this ticket for this outbound plane 'Cause, I've been here before and somehow this don't feel the same But, talk is cheap so we could talk all night long And we may never figure out just where your love went wrong (chorus) 'Cuz I don't wanna be standin' here Don't wanna be talkin' here And I don't really care who's to blame 'Cuz if love won't fly of it's own free will It's gonna catch that outbound plane The old folks say that love's not forever anymore Because young people walk away from love alone to pace the floor But young or old,  I say that love is still the same You may walk away from love but you'll fall head and heels again (Repeat Chorus) Two lonely hearts in this airport knowing Neither one  cares where that other heart is going But, if love won't fly of it's own free will... it's gonna catch that outbound plane That frown you're wearing's just you're halo turned upside down Where is the laughter we once shared back in the lost and found? These broken wings are gonna leave me here to stand my ground You can have this ticket for that lonely plane that's flying out (Repeat Chorus)

Nine Million Bicycles

Nine Million Bicycles Mike Batt There are nine million bicycles in Beijing. That’s a fact, It’s a thing we can’t deny Like the fact that I will love you ‘til I die We are twelve billion light years from the edge. That’s a guess,No one can say it’s true But I know that I will always be with you.     I’m warmed by the fire     Of your love everyday     So don’t call me a liar     Just believe everything that I say. There are six billion people in the world. More or less and it makes me feel quite small But you’re the one I love most of all     We’re high on a wire     The world in our sight     And I’ll never tire     Of the love that you give me every night There are nine million bicycles in Beijing That’s a fact It’s a thing we can’t deny Like the fact that I will love you ‘til; I die And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing, And you know that I will love ‘til I die.

Shadows

Shadows Gordon Lightfoot                                       Let me reach out love and touch you Let me hold you for awhile I've been all around the world Oh how I long to see you smile There's a shadow on the moon And the waters here below Do not shine the way they should And I love you just in case you didn't know    Let it go, let it happen like it happened once before   It's a wicked wind   And it chills me to the bone   And if you do not believe me   Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door                                          Won't you lie down by me baby Run your fingers through my hands I've been all around the town And still I do not understand Is it me or is it you Or the shadow of a dream Is it wrong to be in love Could it be the finest love I've ever seen    Set it free, let it happen like it happened once before   It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone   And if you do not believe me   Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door  Please kiss me gently darling Where the river runs away From the mountains in the springtime n a blue and windy day When there's beauty all around As the shades of night grow deep As the morning stars grow dim They will find us in the shadows fast asleep                                                                   Let it go, let it happen like it happened once before   It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone   And if you do not believe me   Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door

Mr. Radio

Mr. Radio Roderick Taylor Oh, what a sunny day    When they carried the radio home  Bringin' him in off of the truck  And the dogs wouldn't leave us alone  Mr. Radio, you come down here to keep us company We listen in a room Through miles and miles of night Deep in the heart of the bible belt  In the golden radio lightI Mr. Radio, you come down here to keep us company  And it's hard days out in the field With the crows in the high tree top If a man's away from his home all day His chickens might fall to the fox Mr Radio, what can you do about that? Uh, huh.           And you can take me down to a river town          Where the citizensd dance until dawn           They dance so close, it's a sin, almost           The way they carry on           Mr. Radio, I never dreamed you could   And it's miles at the careless touch  Of a tired hand in time When evening fell I heard a stramger sell  Dreams that never were mine Mr. Radio, you come down here to keep us company

Samson & Delilah

Samson & Delilah Rev. Gary Davis You read about Sampson, you read about his birth He was the strongest man that ever lived on earth. One day Sampson was walking alone Down on the ground and he saw an old jaw-bone. He picked up that jaw-bone - swung it over his head, When he got to moving ten thousand were dead.                If I had my way,                If I had my way in this wicked world,                I would tear this building down. Sampson and the lion they  got in an attack Sampson crawled up on the lion’s back You ‘ve read about this lion -  killed a man with his paw Sampson he got his hands ‘round the lion’s jaw And he struggled with that beast till the lion was dead And the bees made honey in the lion’s head.                If I had my way,                If I had my way in this wicked world,                I would tear this building down.                If I had my way,                If I had my way in this wicked world,                I would tear this building down.                Delilah was a woman, fine and fair Had good looks, God knows, cold black hair Delilah she climbed up on Sampson’s knee Said tell me where your strength lies, now if you please She talked so fine, she talked so fair, Sampson said Delilah, just cut off my hair, You can shave my head just as clean as your hand And my strength will be like a natural man.                If I had my way,                If I had my way in this wicked world,                I would tear this building down.                If I had my way,                If I had my way in this wicked world,                I would tear this building down. (tag)                If I had my way – If I had my way –                If I had my way   In this wicked world                I would tear this building down

Night Of A Distant Star

Night of A Distant Star John Stewart If something happened to you Part of me would die If something good came through Part of me would fly It's a critical focus For I know who you are yeah           You are the light that flashes           In the night of a distant star           You are the light that flashes           In the night of a distant star. Of a distant star If I had not seen you I would know you're here In the crowd of a subway station Oh, I would feel you near So build me a fire So I know where you are           For you are the light that flashes           In the night of a distant star           For you are the light that flashes           In the night of a distant star, Of a distant star As moonlight covers the sky A sailor watches the cross And I am searching your eyes And the miles yet to be crossed Nothing here is free We can all show the scars                In the search for the missing pieces           In the night of a distant star           In the search for the missing pieces           In the night of a distant star,  Of a distant star           You are the light the flashes           In the night of a distant star           Oh, you are the light the flashes           In the night of a distant star           In the night of a distant star           Of a distant star

Forever Lovin' You

Forever Lovin’ You Pat Alger / Garth Brooks Was it a rainy night, or a sunny day Was it the last of June or the first of may Was it the night before, or sometime last year It’s hard to say it’s not quite clear           No, I don’t know how it happened           I only know it’s true           But if it ever really matters           You could say I’ve been forever lovin’ you|           I’ve been forever lovin’ you Was it the candlelight or maybe it was the wine Was it the moon that made me lose this heart of mine Did you work some magic with your eyes I must confess I’m mystified           No, I don’t know how it happened           I only know it’s true           But if it ever really matters           You could say I’ve been forever lovin’ you           I’ve been forever lovin’ you                     No, I can’r remember when, or where it all begain                     I Can’t recall a time when you weren’t on my mind                    No, I don’t know how it happened           I only know it’s true           But if it ever really matters           You might say I’ve been forever lovin’ you           I’ve been forever lovin’ you

About Time

About Time Hamilton Camp Nine O’clock, And the timepiece in my pocket ticks the hours away And I stop, As the wind chimes in the distance, tinkling,  seem to say All the songs I’ve ever written, sung, or heard about go running through my mind That’s the lovely thing about time Ten—fifteen, and I hear the sound of laughter in the still of night All serene, as a loving couple passes by it seems so right But the timepiece in my pocket says the hours of young lovers are soon gone That’s the saddest thing about time                 Time’s a loom on which we weave  the fabric of our destiny           A sacred loom on which we hang our lives           Each one wears a new design sew a straight and crooked line           The garment we will wear eternally Twelve O’clock, the halfway point between the old and brand new day And I stop, Just to clear my heart and mind that I might pray And give thanks that I was put upon this wheel to learn the sacred sounds of rhythm, tune, and rhyme But most of all to learn about time  [Break]  [Bridge]  [Repeat last verse] [Tag last line to end]
