Midnights in Winter
The glowing fire
Lights up your face in orange and gold.
I see your sweet smile
Shine through the darkness
It’s line is etched in my memory.

So I'd know you by heart.

Mornings in April
Sharing our secrets
We'd walk until the morning was gone. 
We were like children 
Laughing for hours 
The joy you gave me lives on and on. 

'Cause I know you by heart. 

I still hear your voice 
On warm Summer nights 
Whispering like the wind. 

(Oh oh ohh…) 

You left in Autumn 
The leaves were turning 
I walked down roads of orange and gold. 
I saw your sweet smile 
I heard your laughter 
You’re still here beside me every day. 

'Cause I know you by heart, 
'Cause I know you by heart.

. . .



I found a picture of your smiling face 
Bringing old memories that I had locked away 
The burden of anger from a heart filled with pain 
Was finally lifted and I smile at you again 

Chorus
If time is a healer 
Then all hearts that break 
Are put back together again 
'Cause love heals the wound it makes 

I spoke such harsh words before goodbye 
Well I wanted to hurt you for the tears you made 
You made me cry 
All my hopes and dreams, well they started vanishing 
Those tender hurt feelings became a dangerous thing 

Chorus

All of the years we spent together 
Well they’re part of my life forever 
I hold the joy with the pain 
And the truth is I miss you my friend 

Chorus

. . .



I am a poor wayfaring stranger 
While journeying through this world of woe; 
And there’s no sickness, toil nor danger 
In that bright world to which I go. 

I’m going there to see my Father,
I’m going there no more to roam;
I’m only go-going over Jordan, 
I’m only go-going over home. 

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me, 
I know my way is rough and steep; 
And beautiful fields lie just before me, 
Where God’s redeemed there vigils keep. 

I’m going there to see my Father, 
I’m going there no more to roam; 
I’m only go-going over Jordan, 
I’m only go-going over home. 

I’m going there to see my mother, 
I’m going there no more to roam; 
I’m only go-going over Jordan, 
I’m only go-going over home. 

I want to wear that crown of glory, 
When I get home to that good land; 
Well I want to shout salvation’s story, 
In concert with ohh the blood-washed band, 

I’m going there to see my Saviour, 
I’m going there no more to roam; 
I’m only go-going over Jordan, 
I’m only go-going over home. 

Well I’m only go-going over home. 
Yeah only go-going over home.

Refrain: 
Wade in the Water 
Wade in the Water 
Children wade in the Water,God's gonna trouble the Water 

Who's that young girl dressed in red 
Wade in the Water 
Must be the Children that Moses left 
And God's gonna trouble the Water 

Refrain 

Who's that young girl dressed in white 
Wade in the Water 
Must be the Children of Israeli 
God's gonna trouble the Water 

Refrain 

Who's that young girl dressed in blue 
Wade in the Water 
Must be Children coming true 
And God's gonna trouble the Water 

Refrain 

If you don't believe I did begin to wade in the Water 
Just see the holy ghost looking for me 
God's gonna trouble the Water 

Refrain

My mama done tol' me,
When I was in knee pants,
My mama done tol' me,
Son! A woman'll sweet talk
And give ya the big eye;
But when the sweet talkin's done,
A woman's a two face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya t'sing
The blues in the night

Now the rain's a fallin',
Hear the train a collin'
Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
Hear dat lonesome whistle
Blowin' cross the trestle,
Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
A whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee, ol' clickety clack's
A echoin' back th' blues in the night

The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
And the moon'll hide its light
When you get the blues in the night

Take my word, the mockin' bird'll
Sing the saddest kind o' song
He knows things are wrong and he's right
From Natchez to Mobile,
From Memphis to St. Joe,
Wherever the four winds blow,
I been in some big towns,
An' heard me some big talk,
But there is one thing I know
A woman's a two face,
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya t'sing the blues in the night

. . .



For you there’ll be no crying 
For you the sun will be shining 
'Cause I feel that when I’m with you 
It’s alright, I know it’s right 

And the songbirds keep singing 
Like they know the score 
And I love you, I love you, I love you 
Like never before 

To you, I would give the world 
To you, I’d never be cold 
'Cause I feel that when I’m with you 
It’s alright, I know it’s right 

And the songbirds keep singing 
Like they know the score 
And I love you, I love you, I love you 
Like never before 

Like never before; like never before.

. . .


feat. Chuck Brown

I need someone’s hand to lead me through the night 
I need someone’s arms to hold and squeeze me tight 
And when the night begins and until it ends 
Oh baby I need your love so bad 

I need someone’s lips to feel next to mine 
I need someone to stand up and tell me when I’m lying 
And when the lights are low and till it’s time to go 
Mmm I need your love so bad 

So go home and give it up baby, bring it on home to me 
Write it on a piece of paper so that it can be read to me 
Tell me that you love me, stop driving me mad 
Oh 'cause I need, I need your love so bad 

I need a soft voice to talk to me at night 
Don’t you worry baby, we won’t fuss and fight 
So listen to my plea and bring it on home to me 
Ohh I need your love so bad 

So go on and give it up, bring it on home to me 
Oh put it on a piece of paper so it can be read to me 
So tell me that you love me, please stop driving me mad 
'Cause I need, I need your love so bad 

I need a soft voice to talk to me at night 
Well don’t you worry baby, we won’t fuss and fight 
So listen to my plea and bring it on home to me 
Ohh I need your love so bad 

Ohh because I need your love so bad 
Ohh I need, ohh I need your love so bad, oh yeah.

. . .



It’s funny how the distance can make you feel close 
And the things you lost are the things you want most 
The weather’s fine here – perfect shade of blue 
I guess that’s why I’ve been thinking of you 

Chorus 
So I call you up just to tell you why 
Why I left you and say goodbye 
Ooh must be the mood I’m in 
I’m thinking of you again 
I call you up just to tell you why 
Why I left you and say goodbye 

I know you’re different now and I guess I changed too 
And I thought what was once so right was so wrong for you 
Yesterday I was talking and I heard your name 
The weather’s fine here with a slight chance of rain 

Chorus

Time makes you sorry for the things that you’ve done 
Sometimes you walk away and sometimes you run 
And the weather’s fine here; I can feel a slight chill 
Somethings change babe and some never will 

Chorus

I call you up just to tell you why 
To say I love you and to say goodbye

. . .



Some old hotel room in Memphis
I see the city through the rain
I'm just chasing me my time
And remembering some pain

See there once was a boy
And on the street he'd surely die
But the nightbird took him in
And she taught him how to fly

See the nightbird softly fly
Why does she fly alone?
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory?
Now she's gone

Two bit bars and honky tonks
Any pleasure can be found
You can get just what you want
If you lay your money down

And loney sailors do their drinking
My, my, my how the brave men do die
And the nightbird sells her pleasures
Bringing tears to my eyes

See the nightbird softly fly
Why does she fly alone
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory
Now she's gone

So I guess I'll go out walking
Lord, let the rain keep falling down
I guess I'll go chase some memories
On the dark side of town

See the nightbird softly fly
Why does she fly alone
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory

. . .



When cockle shells turn into silvery bells,
then will my love return to me.
When roses grow in the wintery snow,
then will my love return to me.

Oh waly, waly, love be by me
and bright as a jewel when first new...

But love grows old, and waxes cold,
and fades away like morning dew.

There is a ship, it sails the sea,
It's loaded high and (as) deep can be.
But not so deep as my love for you.
I know not if I sink or swim.

Oh waly, waly, love be by me
Bright as a jewel when first new...

But love grows old and waxes cold,

. . .



Mmm...

My life goes on in endless song
above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.

Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear it's music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?

Oh though the tempest loudly roars,
I hear the truth, it liveth.
Oh though the darkness 'round me close,
Songs in the night it giveth.

No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?

When tyrants tremble in their fear
And hear their death knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near
How can I keep from singing?

No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?

My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
How can I keep from singing?

Lord, how can I keep from singing?

. . .


(Chips Moman/Dan Pennington)

At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me

I know time is gonna take its toll
We have to pay for what we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
Oh but our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street
You and me

They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us all some day
You and me at the dark end of the street

They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us oh some day
You and me at the dark end of the street

And when the daylight hour rolls round
And by chance we're both downtown
If we should meet then just walk on by
Oh darling please please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet
At the dark end of the street
Oh tonight we'll meet
