Ring On Her Finger, Time On Her Hands
(don goodman, pam rose, mary ann kennedy)
I stood before god, my family and friends
And vowed that Id never love anyone else again
Only him
As pure as my gown of white I stood by his side
And promised that Id love him till the day I died
Lord, please forgive me even though I lied
cause youre the only one who knows just how hard I tried
Chorus:
I had a ring on my finger and time on my hands
The woman in me needed the warmth of a man
The gold turned cold in my wedding band
Its just a ring on your finger
When theres time on your hands
When I add up all the countless nights I cried myself to sleep
And all the broken promises you somehow failed to keep
He cant blame me
Hes the one who left me too many times alone
In a three bedroom prison I tried to make a home
My love slowly died but the fire inside still burned
And the arms of a stranger was the only place left to turn
Repeat chorus

Something With A Ring To It
(chorus)
She wants something with a ring to it
Like a church bell makes
Like a pretty white gown to wear
And some vows to take
She wants something with a ring to it
I think I understand
Gonna have to put a ring on her finger
If Im gonna be her man
My babys playin hard to please
And I think I figured out
What it is she wants from me
Cause when I hold her close
When we go out at night
I can hardly see the moonlight
From the diamonds in her eyes
(repeat chorus)
My baby did but now she dont
And if I dont say I do
Its a safe bet that she wont
Love me like she used to
When our love began
Now the only way to change her tune
Is with a wedding band
(repeat chorus)

Just When I Needed You
(e) just when I needed you, you left and went a- (a) way,
You made my life so (e) blue both night and (b7) day,
You (e) left me here behind, with a troubled worried (a) mind,
So broken hearted (e) too, just (b7) when I needed (e) you.
Chorus
I cried, I cried, I (a) prayed, lord, I (e) tried, to forget you,
And never call your (b7) name, what a (e) shame, what a shame,
Youre the (a) one who was to (e) blame,
Youre the (a) one who was un-(e) true, just (b7) when I needed (e) you.
You said, its best we part, and never love again,
And tho it broke my heart, I wont complain,
You know I love you still, and dear I always will,
Altho you proved untrue, just when I needed you.

Love, Love, Love
He stumbled through the alley with his long coat on
Nothing but a bottle in his hand
She sat in her apartment lonesome to the bone
Wondering what had happened to her man
Chorus:
Love, love, love, love
Nobody ever understands
All the things that go,
Between a woman and a man.
When theyd walk down the sidewalk the street would shine
With the kind of love no human heart can fake
And they vowed to stay together till the end of time
Like the couple that stands on top of the wedding cake
Repeat chorus:
If I should live to a ripe old age
The only lesson I may ever learn
Is to not stand so close to the flame of love
Unless you are willing to get burned
Repeat chorus:
All the things that go,
Between a woman and a man.

Killing The Blues
Leaves were falling ..just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes
Chorus:
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the blues
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing .. yourself in love
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:
Now, you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find ..what Ive already had

Evil Woman
You made a fool of me, but them broken dreams have got to end.
Hey woman, you got the blues, cos you aint got no one else to use.
Theres an open road that leads nowhere, so just make some miles
Between here and there.
Theres a hole in my head where the rain comes in,
You took my body and played to win,
Ha ha woman its a crying shame,
But you aint got no one else to blame.
Chorus
E-evil woman, e-evil woman, e-evil woman, evil woman
Rolled in from another town,
Hit some gold too hot to settle down,
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways,
And you found a fool lyin in a daze,
Ha ha woman what you gonna do,
You destroyed all the virtues that the lord gave you,
Its so good that youre feeling pain,
But you better get yourself on board the very next train.
Chorus:repeat
Evil woman how you done me wrong,
But now youre tryin to wail a different song,
Ha ha funny how you broke me up, you made the wine now you
Drink the cup,
I came runnin every time you cried,
Thought I saw love smilin in your eyes,
Ha ha very nice to know, that you aint got no place left to go.

Autumn Goodbye
Chorus: I never promised you a happy ending
You never said you wouldnt make me cry
But summer love will keep us warm long after
Our autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye
Autumn goodbye
Thinkin of you
And the love of our lives
In the sweet summertime
So sad but true (so true, so true)
We must leave it behind
In our hearts, in our minds
Pre chorus: from april through september
Bittersweet was the love that we share
Dont forget
I remember
Repeat chorus (2x)
Memories can fade
But my heart has a place
For the smile on your face
And maybe someday
We can be more than friends
Love will find us again
Red leaves and blue tomorrows
Time will give back the love that we shared
On the time that we borrowed
Repeat chorus (2x)
Repeat pre chorus
Repeat chorus (2x)
Well leave behind
The summertime
Our hearts, our minds
They will remind
We wont forget
The day we met
The day we cried

If You Only Knew
(jane mariash, dianna rae)
So here you are again
Standing at my door
You know Id understand
Well thats what friends are for
Whats he done this time
What did he say
To make you so darn mad
That youre running away
Now you say you want to be like me
Independent and free
Chorus:
But if you only knew
What a single girl goes through
The long working days and the lonley nights
The empty I love yous
Oh if you only knew what its like to be alone
Youd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home
My life looks good to you
Im always in control
No one to answer to
But no one there to hold
You see in my eyes you are the lucky one
With loving arms that you can lean upon
Id give anything I could to say
What youre throwing away
Cause (repeat chorus)
I know its hard to face that love aint perfect everyday
But I know a hundred girls who would gladly take your place
So (repeat chorus)
Youd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home
If you only knew

In My Hands (Hemmorage)
Memories are just where you laid them
Drag the waters till the depths give up their dead
What did you expect to find?
Was it something you left behind?
Don't you remember anything I said, when I said:
Chorus:
Don't fall away
And leave me to myself
Don't fall away
And leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands again
And leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands
Love lies bleeding...
Oh hold me now I feel contagious
Am I only the only place that you've left to go?
She cries her life is like
Some movie black and white
Dead actors faking lines
Over and over and over again she cries:
: Repeat Chorus :
And I wanted
You turned away...
You don't remember
But I do
YOU NEVER EVEN TRIED
(End Chorus)
Don't fall away

Love Without End Amen
Love without end amen
I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye
Fightin was against the rules and it didnt matter why
When dad got home I told that story just like Id rehearsed
Then stood there on those tremblin knees and waitin for the worst
And he said...
Chorus:
Let me tell you a secret about a fathers love
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
He said daddies dont just love their children every now and then
Its a love without end, amen
Its a love without end, amen
When I became a father in the spring of 81
There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my fathers son
And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end
I took my daddys secret and passed it on to him
I said...
Repeat chorus
Last night I dreamed Id died and stood outside those pearly gates
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake
If they know half the things Ive done, theyll never let me in
Then somewhere from the other side, I heard these words again
And they said...

If It Were You
Theres a time when the heart can no longer give in
You try to stand up and fight
Youve known pain for so long and you know whats gone wrong
But you cant make it right
Another broken heart is all youre feeling
How can you go on
But the memories of the times there was love in your eyes
Keep leading me on
(chorus)
If it were you
Would you hold on and hope that it might
Bring back the dreams we once knew
Or just give up forever that part of your life
Tell me what would you do
If it were you
You can never take back all youve given in love
No matter how hard you try
Once its over and done you just have to let go
Though a part of you died
Another waste of time is all thats left now
But life must go on
All the nights that we spent, never thought they would end
Why cant they go on
(chorus)
If it were you
Would you hold on and hope that it might
Bring back the love we once knew
Or just give up forever that part of your life
Tell me what would you do
If it were you
If it were you
Tell me what would you do
If it were you
Over and over I go back through time
Didnt we promise our love till we die
Asking you deep down inside
Did we really try
Another broken heart is all thats left
But life must go on
All the nights that we spent, never thought they would end
Why cant they go on

Piano Strings See
She keeps secrets from you
Knows it’s something they say never to do
But how does she say
How does she break that news
While you’re still feelin’ new
Chorus Split 1:
What do I do when every step I take
Is walking my heart your way
When each note the world
Has to echo
Sounds like the way I love you
She’s got no ring for your finger either
You know how it goes
Maybe she’ll find that wedding dress
They never sent her and she never could pick up
Drop it at your toes
Chorus Split 2:
And the moments in life
Theirs and mine
Feel like the lucky tears of happy days
You bring me
How did we ever get to be
What piano strings see
She is me, she is me, she is me
And I’m just tryin’ to find
The right eyes
To bring this to you with
The right set of notes and time ticks
Chorus
So string me up
And tell me you came back to the girl who left
The bridal shop with the pretty dress
‘cause the country songs
Were tearing you up with the ways you love me
Split 2
I’ve got no ring for your finger either
Maybe I’ll find that wedding dress
Drop it at your toes

What Do You Know About Heartache
(len chiriacka, mary welch, bob morrison,johnny macrae)
You come to me just as a friend
Cause youre looking for someones shoulder you can cry on
Well she broke your heart
Now its the end
And you say that youve got an aching heart
Like the world has never known
Chorus:
But baby what do you know about heartache
What do you know about pain
What do you know about the sleepless nights
And walking alone in the rain
What do you know about crying
What do you know about being blue
When you dont even know about the love I feel for you
You say I may not understand
How it feels to see your love in the arms of another
But you dont know the many times
That I had to hide all my tears inside
When I saw you with your lover

When you dont even know about the love that I feel for you

Peek In, Sneak About
Theres times where I want something more
Someone more like me
Theres times when this dress rehearsal
Seems incomplete
But, you see the colors in me like no one else
And behind your dark glasses youre...
Youre something else
Chorus:
Youre really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
Underneath it all
Im really lucky
Underneath it all
Youre really lovely
You know some real bad tricks
And you need some discipline
But, lately youve been trying real hard
And giving me your best
And, you give me the most gorgeous sleep
That Ive ever had
And when its really bad
I guess its not that bad
(repeat chorus)
So many moons that we have seen
Stumbling back next to me
Ive seen right through and underneath
And you make me better
Ive seen right through and underneath
And you make me better
Better... better...

You are my real prince charmin
Like the heat from the fire
You were always burnin
And each time youre around
My body keeps stalin
For your touch
Your kisses and your sweet romancin
Theres an underside to you
That so many adore
Aside from your temper
Everything else secure
Youre good for me, baby
Oh that, Im sure
Over and over again
I want more

Youve used up all your coupons
And all youve got left is me
And somehow Im full of forgiveness
I guess its meant to be

Memories of you and me
Tumble inside my head
The way that we used to be
Things that we said
No one has ever made me believe so strong
You left me to wonder
How did our love go wrong

Where you running to now

Got to make you turn around

Wait for the sun to shine
I still feel you next to me
Your lips on mine
Without a warning
You made our love a lie
You said you were sorry
But you never told me why

Mama please dont go
Wont you stay here for one more day
Ive been your boy for so long now
Theres so much I still have to say
Sky rips open, and I hold my heart in my hand

Cried myself to sleep that night, and I listened
As I heard the angels sing
Chorus:
Sha la la la sha la la la, Im going home.
Sha la la la sha la la la, Im going home.

How could God take you from a little boy
Hell be alright, hes by my side
Hes no little boy, hes my pride and joy

Summer on the radio and the phone rings
And it was jeanette
She said boy we had to let her go
I begged her no, no not yet

Youre the light of the lamb, and I cried
