My brother, my brother, whatcha gonna do? My brother, my brother, here to help you Tell me your sorrows, tell me your fears My brother, my brother, I’ll always be here

I know that we are different, and we’ve gone our separate way But we’ve got to learn to accept each other, for who we are today I know it won’t be easy, but we both have got to try To hold onto each other, until the day we die

Nobody knows you quite the way that I do And if you’re in trouble, come to me, come to me

Whatcha gonna do? I’m here to help you Tell me

We got the same blood running through our veins, my brother Father is the Heaven, mother is the grave We gotta look out for each other, my brother Yeah, that’s what we gotta do

I Owe You One

There’s a chill in the evening air Carries me back to some place where I thought I’d lost my way forever Every dream and every plan Every last chance slipped through my hand And you smiled at me and it was over Holding you tonight Hold on tight I try to say it right And I guess sometimes the words don’t come And I wish I told you how you changed my life And saved me with your love I hope when all is said and done You know I owe you one Walk me down those streets again Stop me right at the moment when You stood there talking to a stranger Tell me how you looked at me And knew the very best that I could be How did you see this happy ending

Standing by your side I’m still surprised I try to say it right But I guess sometimes the words don’t come And I wish I’d told you how you changed my life And saved me with your love I hope when all is said and done You know I owe you one One for life and one for love And all you’ve given me For the dreams you made me dream again And all that we can be Holding you tonight, holding you tonight Hold on tight I try to say it right I guess sometimes the words don’t come And I wish I’d told you how you changed my life And saved me with your love I hope when all is said and done You know I owe you one

Don’t Fall Apart on Me Tonight

Just a minute ‘fore you leave girl Just a minute ‘fore you touch the door What is it that you’re trying to achieve girl Do you think we can talk about it some more You know the streets are filled with vipers Who’ve lost all ray of hope You know it ain’t even safe no more In the palace of the pope

Don’t fall apart on me tonight I just don’t think that I could handle it Don’t fall apart on me tonight Yesterday is just a memory Tomorrow’s never what it’s suppose to be And I need you

Come over here from over there girl Sit down here you can have my chair I can’t see you going anywhere girl The only place open is a thousand miles away And I can’t take you there

Oh, I wish I’d a been a doctor Maybe I’d a saved some lives that’ve been lost Maybe I’d a done some good in this world Instead of burning every bridge I crossed

(Don’t fall apart on me tonight) Don’t fall apart on me tonight

Don’t fall apart on me tonight

Betcha by Golly, Wow

There’s a spark of magic in your eyes Candyland appears each time you smile Never thought that fairy tales come true But they come true, when I’m near you

You’re a genie in disguise Full of wonder and surprise, and

Betcha by golly, wow You’re the one that I’ve been waiting for, forever And ever will my love for you keep growing strong Keep growing strong

If I could, I’d catch a falling star To shine on you So I’ll know where you are All the rainbows in your favorite shades To show I love you, thinking of you

Write your name across the sky Anything you ask, I’ll try

‘Cause betcha by golly, wow You’re the one that I’ve been waiting for, forever And ever will my love for you, keep growing strong Keep growing strong

Betcha by golly, wow You’re the one that I’ve been waiting for, forever And ever will my love for you, keep growing strong Keep growing strong

Song of Bernadette

There was a child named Bernadette I heard the story, long ago She saw the queen of heaven once And kept the vision in her soul

No one believed what she had seen No one believed what she heard But there were sorrows to be healed And mercy, mercy in this world

So many hearts I find Broken like yours and mine Torn by what we’ve done and can’t undo I just want to hold you Won’t you let me hold you? Like Bernadette would do

We’ve been around we fall, we fly We mostly fall, we mostly run And every no and then, we try To mend the damage that we’ve done

Tonight, tonight I cannot rest I’ve got this joy inside breast To think that I did not forget That child, that song of Bernadette

So many hearts I find Broken like yours and mine Torn by what we’ve done and can’t undo I just want to hold you Come on let me hold you? Like Bernadette would do

I just want to hold you Won’t you let me hold you? Like Bernadette would do

You Never Can Tell

It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well You could see that pierre did truly love the mademoiselle And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell, “c’est la vie”, say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell

They furnished off an apartment with a two room roebuck sale The coolerator was crammed with tv dinners and ginger ale, But when pierre found work, the little money comin’ worked out well “c’est la vie”, say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell

They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast Seven hundred little records, all rock, and rhythm and jazz But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell “c’est la vie”, say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell

They bought a souped-up jitney, was a cherry red ’53, Drove down to new orleans to celebrate the anniversary It was there where pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle “c’est la vie”, say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell

They had a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well You could see that pierre did truly love the mademoiselle And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell, “c’est la vie”, say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell “c’est la vie”, say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell “c’est la vie”, say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell

I’ll never hear the bells if you leave me I’ll never hear the bells I’ll never hear the bells if you leave me I’ll never hear the bells

Do you hear what I hear Your lips are kissing mine Can you hear the bells darling Can you hear them when I’m kissing you

What do I have to do to make you feel the tingling too

Can you hear the bells darling Can you hear them when I’m kissing you

Oh yeah Oh, I hear the bells, ringing in my ear Tell me do you love me, do you love me, do you love me, do you love me like I love you

Oh, it’s one thing that I want you to remember If you ever leave me I believe I’ll go insane And I’ll never hear the bells again No, I’ll never hear the bells again No, I’ll never hear the bells again

These Foolish Things

A cigarette that bears a lipsticks traces An airline ticket to romantic places And still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you

A tinkling piano in the next apartment Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant A fairground painted swing These foolish things remind me of you

You came, you saw, you conquered me When you did that to me, I knew somehow this had to be The winds of march that make my heart a dancer A telephone that rings, but who’s to answer How the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you

How strange, how sweet, to find you still These things are dear to me, they seem to bring you near to me The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations, Silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations Oh, how the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you

The Roadie Song

You know night after night these guys are setting up, hooking up, Climbing past the sky. they don’t really get no praise, So I wrote this song in honor of them, ’cause without them there’d be no show.

So give the roadie, give the roadie, give the roadie song He climbed to kingdom come He’s up to see the sun Get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song

He’s got a mighty long ways to travel He’s gotta cover many miles of gravel He’s gotta long long ways to go And if he don’t make it, there ain’t gonna be no show

Ain’t No Way

Ain’t no way for me to love you if you won’t let me It ain’t no way for me to give you all you need If you won’t let me give all of me

I know that a mans duty is to have and love a woman And that’s the way it was planned Oh but how can I, how can I, how can I give you all the things I can If you’re tying both of my hands

It ain’t no way, it ain’t no way, just ain’t no way, ain’t no way baby

It ain’t no way for me to love you if you won’t let me

Stop trying to be someone you’re not The hard cold truth is, woman, you paid too much for what you got And if you need me, baby, say, say you do, Baby, I, baby, baby, don’t you know that I need you

It ain’t no way I tell you that it ain’t no way, it ain’t no way, it ain’t no way baby, baby, baby, baby Just ain’t no way, sure ain’t no way It ain’t no way for me to love you if you won’t let me

Step right up come on in If you’d like to take the grand tour Of the lonely house that once was Home sweet home

I have nothing here to sell you Just some things that I will tell you Some things I know will chill you To the bone

Over there sits the chair Where she’d bring the paper to me Sit down on my knee and whisper Oh, I love you

But now she’s gone forever And this old house it will never Be the same without the love That we once knew

Straight ahead that’s the bed Where we’d lie in love together And Lord knows we had A good thing going here

See her picture on the table Don’t it look like she’d be able Just to touch me and say Good mornin’ dear

There’s her rings all her things And her clothes are in the closet Where she left them when She tore my world apart

As you leave you’ll see the nursery Oh, she left me without mercy Takin’ nothin’ but our baby And my heart

Step right up come on in Come on in

The Lord’s Prayer

Our father Which art in heaven. Hollowed would be thy name Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done. On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread

And forgive our debts As we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, And the power, and the glory. Forever and ever. amen.
