I see trees that are green, red roses too 
I watch them bloom for me and you 
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world 

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow 
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know 
And I think to myself, ohh what a wonderful world 

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky 
Are also on the faces of the people passing by 
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "how do you do?" 
But they're really saying, "I love you" 

I see trees that are green and red roses too 
I watch them bloom for me and you 
And I think to myself, oh what a wonderful world 

 

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky 
Are also on the faces of the people passing by 
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "how do you do?" 
But they're really saying, "I love you 

I see trees that are green and red roses too 
I watch them bloom for me and you 
And I think to myself, oh what a wonderful world 

I think to myself, ooh what a wonderful world

. . .



I hear the drizzle of the rain 
Like a memory it falls 
Soft and warm continuing 
Tapping on my roof and walls 

My mind’s distracted and confused 
My thoughts are many miles away 
They lie with you when you’re asleep 
Kiss you when you start the day 

And as I watch the drops of rain 
Weave their weary paths and die 
I know that I am like the rain 
There before the grace of you go I

. . .



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

. . .



Today has been a special day 
An anniversary, a request 
That you play your piano 
As the evening sun slowly sets 

Chorus
I never thought I’d get this old dear 
Never had a reason to live so long 
And the Lord’s been like my shadow 
Even when I was wrong 
No I never thought it would turn out this way 

A birthday with apologies 
For all the tears and the rest 
And I’ve always saved your poetry 
For those years when you forget 

Chorus

So sing with me softly 
As the day turns to night 
And later I’ll dream of paradise with you 
I love you and good night

. . .



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?

. . .



Sometimes it amazes me
How strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away

You watch my love grow like a child
Sometimes gentle and sometimes wild
Sometimes you just take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there
Just to use
I'm gonna stand on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away

Sometimes it amazes me
How strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away

Your beauty is there in all I see
And when I feel your eyes on me
Oh don't you know you just take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there
Just to use
I'm gonna stand on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there
Just to use
I'm gonna stand on a mountain top
And tell the news

. . .



I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
I've been out here for so very long
I've lost all my direction
Baby, when you came my way
I thought I had found my protection
But a strong wind came into my life
It surely took me by surprise
I can't seem to control these tears
That are falling from my eyes
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
Sea of love
Baby, I depended on you
For our love navigation
Now you've gone and deserted me
Can't you see that I'm in desperation
I'm in the middle of a bad love storm
Ooh yeah I wasn't ready for
I look around and all I can see
Is water pouring over me
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love

I've been out here for so very long
I've lost all my direction
Baby, when you came my way
I thought I had found my protection
But a strong wind came into my life
It surely took me by surprise
I can't seem to control these tears
That are falling from my eyes
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love

Bill and I got married following our first born 
Daddy left this gas & convenience store just before he died 
And I was only nineteen when I had my third baby 
And sometimes I think maybe I should’ve left here long ago 

Travellers are stopping by, check their oil and their p.s.i. 
Gas up and away to fly, moving down the line 
But this beat-up truck & worn out shoes always give me the blues 
Billy sucking down the booze nearly every night 

Chorus
I never seen the city lights 
How they must shine so bright 
Not like this country night 
The sky’s black as coal 
And this gas-station mountain home 
Not a thing to call my own 
How I wish I was alone 
With a penny to my name 

Strangers say this mountain here is beautiful beyond compare 
But it’s just a dumb old mountain; I see it every day 
If I could see sunset skies over fields of green or ocean-tides, 
City skyline in the night, I’ll be dancing till the dawn 

Chorus

Bill and I got married following our first born 
Daddy left this gas & convenience store just before he died 
Maybe Bill & I someday will find a chance to get away 
Until then it’s here I’ll stay wishing on a star 

Chorus

. . .



Baby we both know 
The things have really changed between us

You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
It's all over now, you've changed

You've changed
Your kisses now are so blase
You're bored with me in every way
You're breaking my heart you've changed

You've forgotten the words I love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realise that you ever cared

You've changed
You're not the angels I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now, you've changed

You've forgotten the words I love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realise you ever cared

You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
It's all over now, you've changed
Yes it's over now, you've changed
(Now it's over, you've changed)


. . .



There you go baby, here am I baby.
You left me here so I could sit and cry.
Golly gee, what have you done to me?

I guess it doesn't matter any more

Do you remember baby, last September
How you held me tight, each and every night
Oh baby, how you drove me crazy
I guess it doesn't matter any more

There ain't no use in me a-cryin'.
I've done everything and I'm sick of tryin'.
I've thrown away my nights,
Wasted all my days over you

Now you go your way baby I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
I'll find somebody new baby, we'll say we're through
Won't matter anymore

There ain't no use in me a-cryin'.
Cause I've done everything and I'm sick of tryin'.
I've thrown away my nights,
Wasted all my days over you

Now you go your way baby I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
I'll find somebody new baby, we'll say we're through
You won't matter anymore

You won't matter anymore
You won't matter anymore

. . .



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,

. . .
