Sideline Powdering

They all say
that Love Won't-
Won't happen
for me.

They all say
even if it did
I'd be Unworthy.

They all say
I'm Ugly Image
and Fair
will pass me
every time.

I say you can't see or measure
worth
from exteriors
flaunted
and flirts displayed
for my faith is
that what's good inside
will abide
and gain it's due in time.

Prettiness
is Fickle True
and lacks Devotion
to last;
just as it attracts
flies
it too
can not abide
worship
from beaus
who
in time
fail to satisfy.

Steady Devotion
is Love's True Name
for like the tortoise
is there
at the end of the race
while Pretty
lingers
on the sidelines
powdering
its pretty face

Pretty Boy

I lie awake at night
See things in black and white
I've only got you inside my mind
You know you have made me blind

I lie awake and pray
That you will look my way
I have all this longing in my heart
I knew it right from the start

Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you
Like I never ever loved no one before you
Pretty pretty boy of mine
Just tell me you love me too
Oh my pretty pretty boy
I need you
Oh my pretty pretty boy I do
Let me inside
Make me stay right beside you

I used to write your name
And put it in a frame
And sometime I think I hear you call
Right from my bedroom wall

You stay a little while
And touch me with your smile
And what can I say to make you mine
To reach out for you in time

[BRIDGE]
Oh pretty boy
Say you love me too

Always On My Mind

My friends tell me Im crazy
They say that Im strange
They tell me ever since I met you Ive changed
I must admit its true and Id go outta my way to do
Anything for you cause baby I want you to know
That Ive gotten so close
And I need you to show me a sign
Because you and I cant afford to waste time
When its love thats on my mind
Chorus:
Every second
Every minute
Every hour
Every day
Its you that Ive been thinkin of
And everyday
Every week
Every month
Every year
With you I wanna be in love
cause I cant get enough
Always on my mind
Yes you are
I think about you all the time
I cant eat and I cant sleep I cant think
cause all I think about is you
And how you make me feel inside
From every little thing that you do
cause you put a smile on my face
Every time you embrace and pull my body close to you
But if only you knew all the things that Id do
For your love Id stay true
Chorus:
All I need is a little more time and devotion
So that we can be livin a life of love
For eternity
cause I dont want to be alone
And my house would not be home
Without you here with me

Devotion

If I am right
If I can be
Constant and faithful
Youll find me
In my devotion
In my devotion
What if you find a fault
Between my purpose and my deeds
And deem me beyond salvation
Judge me to be unworthy
Of your devotion
Of your devotion
If this be obsession deliver me
A passing infatuation deliver me
A feeling lacking in purity deliver me
A test of fidelity deliver me
Deliver me
Deliver me
What if I should find
Youre no good for me
What if I cant be strong enough
What if I cant break free
Of my devotion
Of my devotion

Lay All Your Love On Me

(b. andersson / b. ulvaeus)
Laa...
I wasnt jealous before we met,
Now every woman I see is a potential threat.
And Im possessive, it isnt nice.
Youve heard me saying that smoking was my only vice.
But now it isnt true,
Now everything is new,
And all Ive learned has overturned.
I beg of you...
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
(dont go sharing your devotion)
It was like shooting a sitting duck.
A little smalltalk, a smile, and baby I was stuck.
I still dont know what youve done with me;
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily.
I feel a kind of fear,
When I dont have you near.
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride,
I beg you dear...
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Ive had a few little love affairs.
They didnt last very long and theyve been pretty scarce.
I used to think I was sensible,
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible.
cause everything is new,
And everything is you,
And all Ive learned has overturned.
What can I do?
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion,
Lay all your love on me
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion,
Lay all your love on me. (dont go)
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion...

The Ugly Truth About Her

ITS TIME TO FACE THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT HER
SHE'S STRONG SHE'S WILLING BUT SHE'S NOT UNDERSTANDING
ITS TIME TO FAE THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT HER
SHE WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH SHE WILL MAKE YOU CRY BUT ALSO WATCH YOU DIE
ITS TIME TO FACE THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT HER
SHE WILL BE THERE FOR YOU BUT SHE WILL NOT ALWAYS BE TRUE
ITS TIME TO FACE THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT HER
SHE'S DETERMINED SHE'S A WINNER BUT REGARD YOU AS A LONER
IT'S TIME TO FACE THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT HER
SHE MY FRIEND IS THE REASON WHY YOU ARE HURT INSIDE
AND SHE'S THE ONE WHO PROMISED TO BE ON YOUR SIDE
THIS IS THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT HER

True

True in this modern world when two lovers get together
Chances of em making it to forever
Couldnt be better than two in a million hearts
Girl this aint just another run of the mill emotion
What Im feeling is devotion
My love for you is true
Chorus:
True like the sun comin up each morning
Bright as a light in a babys smile
Sure as a mountain river windin
Right as the rain fallin from the sky
Girl my love for you is true
True, not another minute on this earth can be borrowed
So theres no way to know when Ill live my last tommorow
But everyday I get, Ill share with you
This feelin just keeps gettin stronger as time goes by
Its written on my face, you can see it in my eyes
My love for you is true
Repeat chorus twice

True Love Takes Time

This song was first released on the one world album. it is the only album it has been released on.
As I travel down the road and search the empty sky
Waiting for the moment when my eyes will see
Many are the memories the mysteries of time
How they dance around and whisper endlessly
Yes Ive travelled down this road before
Where so many men have come and gone
But you know it takes time
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
And its so very hard to find
(true love takes time)
You know that love takes time
It seemed impossible that I could care again
So it seemed I had forgotten how to give
What is this miracle that brings me back my dreams
All at once I can remember how to live
Yes Ive travelled down this road before
Where so many men have come and gone
But you know it takes time
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
And its so very hard to find
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
I have been too much alone for oh so many years
Looking for someone to sing with me
Sweet harmony
My heart is open now and tender to the touch
But there is love enough to heal me in your hands
Ill give you all my nights
All my sun and rainy days
Ill give you all the time it takes to understand
Weve travelled down this road before
Where so many fools have come and gone
But you know it takes time
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
And its so very hard to find
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
(true love takes time)
(true love takes time)

A Really Good Time

(ferry)
Youre heard enough
Of the blues and stuff
Youre pretty swell now
cause youre pretty tough
But I dont have to tell you
How hard it can be to get by
You never bothered
About anyone else
Youre well educated
With no common sense
But love - thats one thing
You really need to get by
All your troubles
Come from yourself
Nobody hurts you
- they dont care
Just as long as you show them
A really good time
All the things
You used to do
A trip to the movies
A drink or two
They dont satisfy you
They dont tell you anything new
You know I dont talk much
Except to myself
cause ive not much to say
And theres nobody else
Whos ready and willing
And able to know me - I guess
Listen to me
Im not finished yet
Theres something to tell you
That I cant forget
Just have a really good time
Theres a girl
I used to know
Her face is her fortune
Shes got a heart of gold
She never goes out much
But boy - when she does
Then you know
Shes got no money
Well, maybe a dime
But she knows what shes worth
And thats reason why
Shes gonna make it
Shes got what it takes
Youll appreciate that
Shes probably late
But I know
And you know
We all know
Shell have a really good time

Given Hearts That We Might Love

Given hearts that we might love,
Until they're called above,
With those we leave behind...
Who keep our love in mind...
In time, when tears have passed,
We'll meet again, at last...
Our lives on Earth are short
And thus our thinking's caught,
Yet God reveals His Word
And faith inside is stirred,
Such that new hope is born,
No more to feel forlorn...

That's why faith lights our path
And teaches us to laugh
And with each prayer we pray,
Reach higher day-by-day...
Eternal life awaits
As we pass through God's Gates...
Think not it's meant for all,
For each must hear God's call
And in a moment rise,
To see through brand new eyes,
Then on God's promise stand,
As each one holds His hand...

The ones who've gone before,
Must surely know the score,
For in Heaven they abide,
With smiles so broad and wide,
Content to wait for those
Whose love still grows and grows...
Be patient, then, my friends,
For true love never ends,
It blossoms like it must
In those whose hearts still trust...
There's nothing more sublime,
Except we'll meet in time...

What About Love?

It crawls inside you
Like a strange disease
One time the giver
Next time the thief
I know what you know
So I won't let this go
You choose your brother
If he looks the same
You dirty white boy
It's all for gain
But I know what you know
So I won't let this go
What about love?
And the human race
What about love?
It's a different face
What about love?
Why can't we embrace?
I've got to know
I want to know
The start of reason
Is the end of hate
Progressive healing
For the corporate
But I know what you know
So I won't let this go
What about love?
And the human race
What about love?
It's a different face
What about love?
Why can't we embrace?
I've got to know
What about love?
And the human race
What about love?
It's a different face
What about love?
It's a big disgrace
I've got to know
I want to know

Do It Now

Once upon the time there was a girl/

She used to say tomorrow i can do/

But somehow her tomorrow's never came true/

Every tomorrow drugged with it another one/

And the poor girl never found the right time to do/

What she decided doing/

Once upon the time there was a pretty girl/

One day the pretty girl fell in love/

Every time she decided to describe her emotions she was shy/

She always delayed expressing her love to the next time/

And for her the right next Time never came around/

She lost her chance somehow and lost her love/

Once upon the time there was a man/

He was known with his anger and cruelty even with his little boy/

But every night the father went to his little kid's room with crying eyes watched him sleeping/

And every night he decided to apologies and never again to beat his little boy but his decision never came true/

The poor kid was the victim of having a father like him/

One day the poor boy had an accident and died/

Unfortunately the right time for the cruel father never came true to change his atitude/

So if you want to do something do it right now tomorrow may never comes/

If you want to confess your love do it right now the life is so short shout out/

Those words are there burden in your heart when still you have the time/

And when you find out that you have to change your atitude/

Change it while you still have the chance/

Never think twice to do your apologies when you really have done wrongs/

Tortured Tangled Heart

Well there was a little falter at the altar of confession
Down on its knees true love did fall
After 31 days of sleepless nights, she woke up to end it all
With "I love you" on a fresh tattoo engraved upon his chest
She tore her name right off his heart
So here's to the unblessed
Oh love, oh love you fickle thing
Such pretty words and golden rings
It was a broken dream right from the start
Bless their tortured, tangled hearts
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Well a blast of confusion coupled with delusion
Makes the best made plans sometimes fail
They wined and they dined, had peace of mind
She bought a gown and he rented tails
But the mighty cloud of destiny came driftin' through the gates
And busted up what could have been a perfect, hopeless case
Oh love, oh love you fickle thing
Such pretty words and golden rings
It was a broken dream right from the start
Bless their tortured, tangled hearts
Oh love, oh love you fickle thing
Such pretty words and golden rings
It was a broken dream right from the start
Bless their tortured, tangled hearts Ooh, ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh

I Abide and Abide and Better Abide

I abide and abide and better abide,
And after the old proverb, the happy day;
And ever my lady to me doth say,
'Let me alone and I will provide.'
I abide and abide and tarry the tide,
And with abiding speed well ye may.
Thus do I abide I wot alway,
Nother obtaining nor yet denied.
Ay me! this long abiding
Seemeth to me, as who sayeth,
A prolonging of a dying death,
Or a refusing of a desir'd thing.
Much were it better for to be plain
Than to say 'abide' and yet shall not obtain.

Whence comest thou, and whither goest thou?
Abide! abide! longer the shadows grow;
What hopest thou the dark to thee will show?
