I always thought That your love was just for me I always thought That your love would set me free But now you say you don't want me anymore Since you've got someone else I guess I won't be hangin' around You're telling me it's over And there's another man you've found Since you called me up and told me about it I've been happy for you All by myself I fall apart Because you broke my heart Who else am I supposed to blame? Whenever I meet someone new to lift me back up I'll forget about you Still then my life won't be the same I always thought That our love would last forever I always thought We would stay right here close together No longer lovers we'll just be friends I sure hope by now you've gotten over me If that's how it has to be I didn't think I'd be replaced so soon As long as it must be this way Don't worry I can take the news o.k. I had to prepare myself to hear the words from you Even though I knew I always thought That our love was no mistake I always thought That you would never make my poor heart ache Go ahead and leave me baby I wish you the best

For just a few days We would like to stay Across the ocean where a couple can be free There's no telephone line And the girl says she'll be mine She's the lucky one for me So baby, come with me Let's sail away together To an island of pleasure Somewhere on the sea There is no crew Except for me and you Outward bound on a voyage at the end of spring There's no soul to disturb us Don't be nervous Let me play my guitar for you A song that I like to sing Now baby, come with me Let's sail away together On a ship of love and treasure Somewhere on the sea The gulls and the fish Are playing as they wish The canvas did miracles aboard this good old boat Carried by the wind We like the mood we're in Through the roughest gale We will stay afloat Hey baby, come with me Let's sail away together On a journey to remember Somewhere on the sea

Sunsong 03:01
Good morning sunrise Up above the mountains high Like a candle in the sky Where hawks and eagles fly Good morning sunrise There's warmth on my shoulders Your light streams along the water It slowly fades and gets colder You hear my love and me as we think our early morning thoughts You hear my love and me as we pray our early morning prayers Good afternoon sunshine My lovers in her place With a pretty smiling face She longs for my embrace Good afternoon sunshine I miss you when things turn grey Your beauty just slips away On a cloudy and rainy day You hear my love and me as we say our afternoon words You see my love and me as we do our afternoon deeds Good evening sunset You're the salt of this world we run You give friendliness to everyone Until the day is done Good evening sundown The earth says goodbye I don't let you pass me by Once I see you I know why You see my love and me as we read our late night books You see my love and me as we watch our late night movies La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-dum Ba-da-da, da-de-da, de-da-do

Gently 03:16
Gently I'll hold her in my arms so strong On a cool starry night it feels so right it can't be wrong This tender romance is the most that we share By showing how much we care To her I just want to make love She's the girl whom there's no one else above I lie awake as she creeps down my stairs I hear her footsteps echo through the air Then she lays down beside me and cries joyful tears I whisper softly to relieve all her fears Gently the wind blows through tall grass and trees On a warm sunny day we feel the passing breeze The mother now cradles her children to her breast Singing them happily to rest We keep each other safe in our dreams Almost every night that's how it seems Just like the snow falling down on icy winter ground She let her hair spill all around me And now in the darkness of this hotel room We sleep under the bright shining moon

On this day We can plant our little seeds Yes we may Dig some dirt and pull the weeds The summer is coming in So now let us begin Make sure we have the tools and equipment we need We must keep this garden growing Where the blossom vines are showing from the field It's the time To get this job done We will find Ways to make this work more fun Many days will pass But they will go by fast Although the season has just begun We must keep this garden growing Where a blue river is flowing through the woods The birds keep soaring high and low The squirrels keep climbing up the branches The bees keep buzzing over the green meadow The farmers keep slaving on their ranches While there still are flowers I would like to smell them As long as there are fruits and vegetables dairy meat and poultry I'd love to taste them In the end Everyone thanks the lord once again We all have our reward The plants grew very tall Soon the leaves will fall And be raked into the bushes to be stored We must keep this garden growing Where the whole worlds been and going to be saved

If only peace would come now If only battle and war would be gone There could be much more love and less violence and hate No more destruction to the air, water and land we live in and on But peace on the earth has yet to begin With good will to the race we call men Until our savior and lord Jesus Christ comes again And my own life is all I control So let my life be lived for the good of my soul If only peace would come now If only battle and war would be over Danger and death could be farther away Tell it to the citizens who still run for cover The kingdom of god should soon be fulfilled In the valleys and mountains and hills In every forest and desert and town fields and streets will be still For justice and freedom and honesty I pray every brother and sister will walk forth in harmony We are spiritual colors below the same sun Why can't we live as many in one?
