Kenny Chesney

Well, me and my lady had our first big fight

So I drove around 'till I saw the neon lights

Of a corner bar, It just seemed right, So I pulled up

Not a soul around but the old barkeep

Down at the end and looking half asleep

But he walked up and said what'll it be?

I said the good stuff

He didn't reach around for the whiskey

He didn't pour me a beer

His blue eyes kinda went misty

He said you can't find that here

'Cause it's the first long kiss on a second date

Momma's all worried when you get home late

And droppin' the ring in the spaghetti plate 'cause your hands are shakin' so much

And it's the way that she looks with the rice in her hair

Eatin' burnt supper the whole first year

And askin' for seconds to keep her from tearin' up

Yeah man, that's the good stuff

He grabbed a carton of milk and he poured a glass

And I smiled and said I'll have some of that

We sat there and talked as an hour passed like old

friends

Saw a black and white picture and he caught my stare

It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair

He said that's my Bonnie, taken about a year after we wed

He said I spent five years in the bottle when the

cancer took her from me

But I've been sober three years now

'Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey

Was the sight of her holdin' my baby girl

The way she adored that string of pearls

I gave her the day that our youngest boy Earl married his high school love

It's a new t-shirt sayin' I'm a grandpa

Bein' right there as our time got small

And holdin' her hand when The Good Lord called her up

Yeah man, that's the good stuff

He said when you get home she'll start to cry

When she says I'm sorry, say so am I

And look into those eyes so deep in love

And drink it up

'Cause that's the good stuff

That's the good stuff

You've Got a Friend

James Taylor

- words and music by Carole King

When you're down and troubled

and you need a helping hand

and nothing, whoa nothing is going right.

Close your eyes and think of me

and soon I will be there

to brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,

and you know whereever I am

I'll come running, oh yeah baby

to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall,

all you have to do is call

and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You've got a friend.

If the sky above you

should turn dark and full of clouds

and that old north wind should begin to blow

Keep your head together and call my name out loud

and soon I will be knocking upon your door.

You just call out my name and you know where ever I am

I'll come running to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer or fall

all you got to do is call

and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?

People can be so cold.

They'll hurt you and desert you.

Well they'll take your soul if you let them.

Oh yeah, but don't you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am

I'll come running to see you again.

Oh babe, don't you know that,

Winter spring summer or fall,

Hey now, all you've got to do is call.

Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.

You've got a friend.

You've got a friend.

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.

You've got a friend.

Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

album: Songs From The West Coast

Oh, it's carnival night

And they're stringing the lights around you

Hanging paper angels

Painting little devils on the roof

Oh the furnace wind

Is a flickering of wings about your face

In a cloud of incense

Yea, it smells like Heaven in this place

I can't eat, can't sleep

Still I hunger for you when you look at me

That face, those eyes

All the sinful pleasures deep inside

Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in

Underneath my skin,

Oh you were always my original sin

And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin

This dangerous game

Oh you were always my original sin

A dream will fly

The moment that you open up your eyes

A dream is just a riddle

Ghosts from every corner of your life

Up in the balcony

All the Romeo's are bleeding for your hand

Blowing theater kisses

Reciting lines they don't understand

This song was onna movie I was watching with my kids...thought it would be perfect for GS.

WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT

Twisted Sister

We're not gonna take it

No we ain't gonna take it

We're not gonna take it anymore

We've got the right to choose

And there ain't no way we'll lose it

This is our life, this is our song

We'll fight the powers that be just

don't pick our destiny cause

You don't know us, you don't belong

We're not gonna take it

No we ain't gonna take it

We're not gonna take it anymore

Oh you're so condescending

Your gall is never ending

We don't want nothin'

Not a thing from you

Your life is trite and jaded

Boring and confiscated

If that's your best

Your best won't do

Oh, oh we're right, yeah

We're free, yeah, we'll fight yeah

You'll see, yeah

We're not gonna take it

No we ain't gonna take it

We're not gonna take it anymore

No way

Oh, oh we're right, yeah

We're free, yeah, we'll fight yeah

You'll see, yeah

(repeat chorus)

YOU'VE GOT A WAY

Written by Twain/Lange

You've got a way with me

Somehow you got me to believe

In everything that I could be

I've gotta say -- you really got a way

You've got a way it seems

You gave me faith to find my dreams

You'll never know just what that means

Can't you see... you got a way with me

Chorus: It's in the way you want me

It's in the way you hold me

The way you show me just what love's made of

It's in the way we make love

You've got a way with words

You get me smiling even when it hurts

There's no way to measure what your love is worth

I can't believe the way you get through to me

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Oh, how I adore you

Like no one before you

I love you just the way you are

(Chorus)

It's just the way you are

This song is one I serenade Tim with daily, oft more than once!

I am probably the oldest N'Sync fan...except for those 5 fellows grandmas!

Read the words--

God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You

Can this be true, tell me can this be real

How can I put into words what I feel

My life was complete, I thought I was whole

Why do I feel like I'm losing control

I never thought that love could feel like this

Then you changed my world with just one kiss

How can it be that right here with me

there's an angel, it's a miracle

Your love is like a river

Peaceful and deep

Your soul is like a secret I never could keep

When I look into your eyes

I know that it's true

God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You

Oh a little more time, yes he did baby

In all of creation, all things great and small

You are the one that surpasses them all

More precious than any diamond or pearl

They broke the mold when you came into this world

And I'm trying hard to figure out

The warmth of your smile, the heart of a child

Thats deep inside and leaves me purified

Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep

Your soul is like a secret I never could keep

When I look into your eyes

I know that it's true

God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You

I never thought that love could feel like this

then you changed my world with just one kiss

How can it be that right here with me

There's an Angel, it's a miracle

Your love is like a river

peaceful and deep

Your soul is like a secret I never could keep

Whe I look into your eyes

I know that it's true

God Must have Spent a Little More time on You

For Tim...

Love, Kay

The Power of Love

Huey Lewis & The News

Words & Music by Johnny COLLA, Chris HAYES & Huey LEWIS

Song of the film "Back to the future"

The power of love is a curious thing

make a one man weep, make another man sing

Change a hawk to a little white dove

more than a feeling that's the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, bricks like cream

Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream

make a bad one good make a wrong one right

power of love that keeps you home at night

Chorus 1 :

You don't need money, don't take fame

Don't need no credit card to ride this train

It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes

but it might just save your life

That's the power of love

That's the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad

Next time you feel it it might make you mad

But you'll be glad baby when you've found

that's the power makes the world go'round

Chorus 2 :

And it don't take money, don't take fame

don't need no credit card to ride this train

It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes

but it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair

yeah, but you don't care

But you know what to do

when it gets hold of you

and with a little help from above

you feel the power of love

you feel the power of love

Can you feel it ?

Hmmm

Chorus 3 :

It don't take money and it don't take fame

don't need no credit card to ride this train

Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel

you won't feel nothin' till you feel

you feel the power, just the power of love

That's the power, that's the power of love

You feel the power of love

you feel the power of love

feel the power of love

This I Promise You

by N'Sync

to ml,

Ohh ohh...

When the visions around you,

Bring tears to your eyes

And all that surround you,

Are secrets and lies

I'll be your strength,

I'll give you hope,

Keeping your faith when it's gone

The one you should call,

Was standing here all along..

And I will take

You in my arms

And hold you right where you belong

Till the day my life is through

This I promise you

This I promise you

I've loved you forever,

In lifetimes before

And I promise you never...

Will you hurt anymore

I give you my word

I give you my heart (give you my heart)

This is a battle we've won

And with this vow,

Forever has now begun...

Just close your eyes (close your eyes)

Each loving day (each loving day)

I know this feeling won't go away (no..)

Till the day my life is through

This I promise you..

This I promise you..

Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)

When I hear you call

Without you in my life baby

I just wouldn't be living at all...

And I will take (I will take you in my arms)

You in my arms

And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)

Till the day my life is through

This I promise you baby

Just close your eyes

Each loving day (each loving day)

I know this feeling won't go away (no..)

Every word I say is true

This I promise you

Every word I say is true

This I promise you

Ooh, I promise you...

ily, tmd

SIGNS

Tesla

(Arthur Thomas)

(originally performed by the Five Man Electrical Band [1971])

And the sign says "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"

So I put my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why

He said you look like a fine outstanding young man, I think you'll do

So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that, huh, me working for you"

Chorus:

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs

....in' up the scenery, breakin' my mind

Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

And the sign says "Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight"

So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house

Hey! What gives you the right!

To put up a fence and keep me out, or to keep Mother Nature in

If God was here, he'd tell it to your face, man, you're some kind of

sinner

(chorus)

Oh, say now mister, can't you read

You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat

You can't watch, no you can't eat, you ain't supposed to be here

And the sign says "You got to have a membership card to get inside" -

uh!

(Solo)

And the sign says "Everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray"

But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all

And I didn't have a penny to pay

So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own *friggin' sign

I said, "Thank you Lord for thinking 'bout me, I'm alive and doing

fine", oh

(chorus repeats 2x)

*changed the word for posting purposes

Africa

I hear the drums echoing tonight

But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

She's coming in 12:30 flight

The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way

Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies

He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night

As they grow restless longing for some solitary company

I know that I must do what's right

As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti

I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa

I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
