I wonder

I wonder if you love me
I wonder if you wonder if I love you
I wish there was some way of knowing
‘Cause if I knew I know I’d know
Exactly what to do
I wouldn’t want you to think
That I loved you if you did not love me
‘Cause that might make you feel bad
And I never wanna see you blue
Or ever feeling sad
I wish I knew a Fortune Teller
Who’d tell me what is real
Who’d tell me if you love me
Who’d tell me how you feel
I wonder if you love me
I wonder if you wonder if I love you
I wish there was some way of knowing
‘Cause if I knew I know I’d know
Exactly what to do

Dreams

Dreams never come true
Ain’t that what it seems to you
Lies that you’ve been told
When all that you needed
Was someone to hold
Dreams are all you got don’t you know
When you’re all alone at night
So baby just leave the past behind
You better hold onto your dreams tonight
Love, Love that is real
The kind you can touch, the kind you can feel
Hearts longing for love
Tell me tonight what you’re dreaming of
Dreams are all you got don’t you know
When you’re all alone at night
So baby just leave the past behind
You better hold onto your dreams tonight

I didn’t mean to fall in love with you
It wasn’t something that I meant to do
‘Cause this old heart of mine
Don’t need to be broken in two
I didn’t mean to fall in love with you
I didn’t mean to make you feel so small
It wasn’t what I meant to do at all
And if I could I’d make you feel
Like you were 10 feet tall
I didn’t mean to make you feel so small
I wonder if there’s a reason why
Things happen like this
Did some unseen hand a long time ago
Write it in a script?
Did we bring it on ourselves
Or was it just an accident
Sometimes it seems like
There’s something that I missed
Sometimes it seems like
There’s something that I missed
I didn’t mean to fall in love with you
It wasn’t something that I meant to do
‘Cause this old heart of mine
Don’t need to be broken in two
I didn’t mean to fall in love with you

Nights you were blue

The world loved your beauty
But the world never knew
All of the sorrow
Hidden inside you
On nights you were blue
On nights when you’re blue
I’ll be here for you
And we’ll make the world go away
I’ll sit here beside you
Where no one can find you
Until all your fears go away
The men loved your pictures
But the men never knew
All you kept hidden
So deep inside you
On nights you were blue
On nights when you’re blue
I’ll be here for you
And we’ll make the world go away
I’ll sit here beside you
Where no one can find you
Until all your fears go away
The world loved your beauty
But the world never knew
All of the sorrow
Hidden inside you
On nights you were blue

Take away these feelings
Get them out of here
I can’t cry no more
I’m out of tears
Yesterday the sky was blue
Now everything is wrong
There are no colors left
You are gone
I know this can’t be happening
You would not make me cry
So please don’t tease me anymore
Open up your eyes
Take away these feelings
Get them out of here
I can’t cry no more
I’m out of tears
Yesterday the sky was blue
Now everything is wrong
There are no colors left
You are gone

That's how she gets hurt

She wears her heart on her sleeve
For everyone to see
And that’s how she gets hurt
That’s how she gets hurt
Every love she’s ever known
Left her feeling all alone
Like a child without a home
Oooh but she never
No she never ever
Lost her feelings
She wears her love like a crown
Or a pretty wedding gown
That’s how she gets hurt
That’s how she gets hurt
Every love she’s ever known
Left her feeling all alone
Like a child without a home
Ooh but she never
No she never ever
Lost her feelings
She wears her heart on her sleeve
For everyone to see
And that’s how she gets hurt
That’s how she gets hurt

Just the wind

I’m drivin’ down the highway
Windshield wipers slappin’
Like a bad, bad dream
I can’t believe it’s happening
My mind’s a total mess
And you’re the reason, baby
You broke my heart again
But I’m not gonna let you drive me crazy
Hear the whistle on the train
As it leaves the station
‘Cause it won’t be back again
And that ain’t my voice sayin’ goodbye
Baby, it’s just the wind
I used to wear a smile on me
Like a wedding dress
Now I’m searchin’ for
A small spark of happiness
I used to be the cat’s meow
I used to own ‘bout half this town
Now I’m just a kitty cat
With her smile turned upside down
Hear the whistle on the train
As it leaves the station
‘Cause it won’t be back again
And that ain’t my voice sayin’ goodbye
Baby, it’s just the wind
(repeat first verse)

Real as love can be

Real as love can be
That’s the kind she needs
Love that’s true won’t make her blue
If it’s real as love can be
There’s love that is and love that ain’t
There’s lovers lined up outside her gate
There’s lovers calling on the telephone
Real as love can be
That’s the kind she needs
Love that’s true won’t make her blue
If it’s real as love can be
Every inch a woman of the world
Sometimes she feels like a little girl
Dreaming of a love all her own
Real as love can be
That’s the kind she needs
Love that’s true won’t make her blue
If it’s real as love can be
A little sleep, a little rest
A little baby clutched to her breast
That’s about as real as love can be
Real as love can be
That’s the kind she needs
Love that’s true won’t make her blue
If it’s real as love can be

Jesus rescued me

Once I was a broken man
And Jesus rescued me
He didn’t have to do it
But Jesus rescued me
I never understood
What it was He saw in me
But every time I called on Him
Jesus rescued me
I wandered in the darkness
And Jesus rescued me
A stranger in a strange land
And Jesus rescued me
I never understood
What it was He saw in me
But every time I called on Him
Jesus rescued me

Two souls

Two souls on a journey
Spinning ‘cross the universe
Bump into each other
They don’t fall in love at first
“I don’t need another complication.”
Is what you said
“I don’t need another lover,
But I can use a friend”
All night conversations
Sitting in your living room
Your kisses were as soft
As the morning dew
“I don’t need another complication.”
Is what you said
“I don’t need another lover,
But I can use a friend”
Two souls on a journey
Spinning ‘cross the universe
Bump into each other
They don’t fall in love at first
“I don’t need another complication.”
Is what you said
“I don’t need another lover,
But I can use a friend”

Headin’ for Chicago on a freight train from St. Paul
Feelin’ like I’m feelin’ nothing at all
Hot steel burnin’ fast tracks ‘cross Minnesota ground
Ain’t it sad the way a train can let you down
It hurts to have to watch a diesel cry
Leavin’ you with sad, lonesome goodbyes
I met that train in Denver, she left me in Sioux Falls
Caught her in St. Louis, took her to St. Paul
But now I know she’s leavin’, when Chicago comes around
Ain’t it sad the way a train can let you down
It hurts to have to watch a diesel cry
Leavin’ you with sad, lonesome goodbyes
Yes, now I know she’s leavin’, when Chicago comes around
Ain’t it sad the way a train can let you down

Hand me that guitar

Hand me that guitar
I'm feeling blue again
When others let me down
She's always been my friend
She's always stood beside me
Through the thick and thin
So hand me that guitar
Tonight I need a friend
My baby promised me
She was all done fooling around
But tonight I'm feeling like I might be
The biggest fool in town
The breaking of my heart
Won't even make a sound
It's like the silence of a snowflake
Falling softly to the ground

Look at me now and what do you see?
Just a poor country boy in ragged blue jeans
But just like you I’m dreamin’ big dreams
And one day I’ll win my wings
When the sun goes down and the moon lights up
I’ll pull down the shades and drink from the cup
I’ll drink from the cup of eternal dreams
And one day I’ll win my wings
I’ll win my wings and fly way up to the sky
I’ll have clouds around my feet and a halo to shine
Look at me now and what do you see?
Just a poor country boy in ragged blue jeans
But just like you I’m dreamin’ big dreams
And one day I’ll win my wings
