ABBA: LOVE IS NOT EASY AND 9 MORE



1. DREAM WORLD


[Songwriters: Ulvaeus, Bjorn; Andersson, Benny;]


We're not the stars of a Hollywood movie
So what's the use to pretend
I'm not so charming and you're not so groovy
You've got to face it, my friend

Dream world, you've been living in a dream world
Trust me, you just can't escape from reality
Boy meets girl
Doesn't mean they're in a dream world

Here I am, there you are
We're gonna make it together
And we've made it so far
So it can only get better

When you reach out and you say to me
"How I love you, girl"
When I hold you baby, can't you see?
It's a real dream world

You've got your hopes and your high expectations
Somehow it doesn't seem right
I'm getting fed up with your accusations
I'm not your angel in white

Dream world, you've been living in a dream world
Trust me you just can't escape from reality
Boy meets girl
Doesn't mean they're in a dream world

Here I am, there you are
We're gonna make it together
And we've made it so far
So it can only get better

When you reach out and you say to me
"How I love you, girl"
When I hold you baby, can't you see?
That's a real dream world

Dream world, you've been living in a dream world
Trust me, you just can't escape from reality
Boy meets girl
Doesn't mean they're in a dream world

Here I am, there you are
We're gonna make it together
And we've made it so far
So it can only get better

2. CHIQUITITA



Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you've broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

So the walls came tumbling down
And your love's a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

3. GONNA TO SING YOU MY LOVE SONG

You say she's been mad at you
Then you say you'll be patient, ooh
Still I see that she makes you blue
Come on, I'll give you consolation

Gonna sing you my love song, gonna bring you some light
Gonna make you feel happy every day of your life
Gonna sing you my love song, gonna make it all right
You're all I ever need, my darling
Just to be where you wanna be
So much fun we could have then, hmm
To be close for eternity
What a miracle to happen

Gonna sing you my lovesong, gonna sing it for you
Gonna give you sweet loving, gonna give myself too
Gonna sing you my lovesong, when I think about you
I know she doesn't make it easy
'Cause you don't please her like you please me

You're my life, you're my angel
You're my first, you're my last
Would she care if you lingered
For another night
Wanna hold you tight
We could make it right

Gonna sing you my lovesong, gonna bring you some light
Gonna make you feel happy every day of your life
Gonna sing you my lovesong, gonna make it all right
I know she doesn't make it easy
Gonna sing you my lovesong, gonna sing it for you
Gonna give you sweet loving, gonna give myself too
Gonna sing you my lovesong, when I think about you
You're all I ever need, my darling
And I would love to sing my lovesong
For you

4. LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME

[Songwriters: Ulvaeus, Bjoern K; Andersson, Benny Goran Br;]


I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice

But now it isn't true, now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned, I beg of you

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily

I feel a kind of fear when I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride, I beg you dear

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible

'Cause everything is new, yeah and everything is you
And all I've learned has overturned, what can I do?

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

5. LOVE'S NOT EASY



[Songwriters: Andersson, Benny Goran Br; Ulvaeus, Bjoern K.;]


Do you remember the first time
And all of your sweet, sweet talk?
Ain't heard it a lot since then love

Now look at that guy
He's making me cry
He leaves everybody
And he only says goodbye

But if I would have to choose
I wouldn't let you go
Just give it some more time
And you will see our love will grow
Darling, I know

We gotta have patience
Love isn't just a sensation
Some of the time it gets rough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
(Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet)

Giving love is a reason for living
But a few things can be tough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
(Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet)

From the first moment I saw you
I've treated you like a queen
I've given you lots of presents

Now listen to that
Just look at that cat
You'd think he was an angel
But he's talking through his hat

But if I would have to choose
I wouldn't let you go
Just give it some more time
And you will see our love will grow
Darling, I know

We gotta have patience
Love isn't just a sensation
Some of the time it gets rough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
(Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet)

Giving
(Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet)
Love is a reason for living
(Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet)
But a few things can be tough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
(Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet)

Patience
(Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet)
Love isn't just a sensation
(Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet)
Some of the time it gets rough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
(Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet)

Giving
(Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet)
Love is a reason for living
(Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet)
But a few things can be tough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
(Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet)

6. LOVERS


Sit down and listen 'cause I've got good news for you
It was in the papers today
Some physician had made a discovery
This' what she had to say:
(Oooh you know that)

She said that every result she had backed her
Claiming that love's a longevity factor

So lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, ain't that nice
Lovers live a little longer, baby
What a feeling when I hold you tight
Lovers live a little longer, yeah

I can imagine, I'll see in my fantasy
I'll enjoy every day
Making love is a dynamite drug, baby
So why don't we start right away
(Ahh, please don't wait)

I don't care if they're watching 'cause listen
We've got a reason for each time we're kissing

'Cause lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, ain't that nice
Lovers live a little longer, baby
What a feeling when I hold you tight
Lovers live a little longer, yeah

I just don't care if they're watching 'cause listen
We've got a reason for each time we're kissing

'Cause lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, ain't that nice
Lovers live a little longer, baby
What a feeling when I hold you tight
Lovers live a little longer, yeah

Lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, yeah

7. ONE MAN, ONE WOMAN

No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table
Though I would have liked to begin
So much that I wanna say, but I feel unable
You leave and slam the door
Like you've done many times before
And I cry and I feel so helpless

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end

Outside I can see the sun through the open window
Inside everything feels so cold
What's wrong, what is happening, where did all our love go?
Sometimes when I just can't cope
I cling to a desperate hope
And I cry and I feel like dying

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end

Daydreams of a better life, but I have to wake up
The sound of the key in the door
You smile and I realise that we need a shake-up
Our love is a precious thing
Worth the pain and the suffering
And it's never too late for changing

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end
You and me, to the end

8. MAMMA MIA


Mamma Mia lyrics
Songwriters: Anderson Stig Erik Leopol; Andersson Benny Goran Bro; Ulvaeus Bjoern K;
I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn
I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you
Mamma mia, does it show again
My my, just how much I've missed you

Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go

I've been angry and sad about things that you do
I can't count all the times that I've told you, we're through
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won't be away too long
You know that I'm not that strong

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you
Mamma mia, does it show again
My my, just how much I've missed you

Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, even if I say
Bye bye, leave me now or never
Mamma mia, it's a game we play
Bye bye, doesn't mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you
Mamma mia, does it show again
My my, just how much I've missed you

Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go

9. MONEY, MONEY, MONEY



[Songwriters: Andersson, Benny Goran Br; Ulvaeus, Bjoern K.;]

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world

A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
Ain't it sad
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world

10. FERNANDO


Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Now we're old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando...

2. COCOROSIE: BUTTERSCOTCH


Black widow and white wood
The darkness of a forest eerily returns
To stagger drunk like mud
Taking swings at your woman
Run!!!
Why does butterscotch taste so good
And we can't have any
But we must we should
Why does sugar cane taste so good
Even though sugar can only do ya harm
You remind me of baseball
Tow trucks and the movies
Look sweet as to deliver me milk
Almost frozen on those wintry mornings
Don't slip mr. Mail man
Watch out for my dog!!!
Why does kissin' you feel so good
Even though it ain't alowed
I know we shouldn't should
Why does holdin' hands feel so right
Got a bruise on my pinky ring from holdin' too tight
Black diamonds swoon the corner
Make it sparkle
Its all for sale
Pushin' snow on the summer kids
Lewd remarks lowering
Lick the lips mischievous
Lick the lips mischievous
Skittles are the rainbow
And every color's popular though
Red gets the most invitations
To the jr. High celebrations
And i'll go alone i don't care
'Cause rainbow's not my favorite color
I'll go alone i don't care
It's not my favorite color
Why does butterscotch taste so good
And we can't have any
But we must we should
And why does sugar cane taste so good
Even though sugar can only do ya harm
I'll go alone i don't care
It's not my favorite color
Black widow and white wood
Cocorosie : Butterscotch
Watch me how I shake it
Don't you wanna taste it
Taste it
My butterscotch, butterscotch

My butterscotch, butterscotch
My butterscotch, butterscotch

4. ERASER HEADS- BUTTERSCOTCH


You can take me to the prom,
Promise not to tell your mom
Mama never tells you why,
While she kicks you in the eye
I don't think she understands'
I just wanna hold your hand
I don't even own a car so couldn't get that far, aah...

Father Markus said to me,
"Just confess and you'll be free.
Sit you down upon my lap
Tell me your sins, just like that
He said baby, know the rules
You're living in a Catholic school.
All the teachers say you're fine,
But they don't have dirty minds"

(Aaah) I am only in my teens
I live only for my dreams
(Aaaah) I cannot be made to stay
Life's a journey anyway
Hey!

Teacher, teacher please make me well.
I don't want to go to hell
Teacher, teacher what can I do?
I don't know boy, it's up to you
(Ooooh) It's time to free your mind,
It's time to cleanse your soul (Oooh)

Yo father forgive me for I have sinned.
I'd rather talk to God but he's out and you're in
It's little complicated but father don't sweat it
You can hear me out or you can just forget it
Now I haven't been to church in about ten years
And one time I had to pull my little sister's ears
But I'm not really violent and it shows
I go for flower power as that stupid song goes
Sometimes I tell a lie, but only when it's true
And I often say things like 'shit' and 'fuck you'
And I like to read a lot of dirty comic books
And I've given dirty teachers a lot of dirty looks
But this is the last thing that I'm ever gonna say
It's embarrassing for me to talk to you this way
Before I forget and before I carry on, I stole a table
Napkin from a fancy restaurant
Now please father tell me what I gotta do
I am full of guilt and now it's up to you.

I am full of guilt and now it's up o you. Hey!
Just say 10 Hail Mary's, 71 Glory Be's
Our Fathers, and a hundred Amen...

Life's a journey anyway - hey!

She came from a small town
She came prepared to get down
Never again would she frown
Because she was ready to make
friends with all the cool kids
She didn't know about trends
Was going to try to fit in
Go to the parties and spin all
around like everyone else
She had forgotten herself
She bought her clothes from the shelves
From the same places that all of
the cool kids said that they did
And now she wanted to be
Something that she couldn't be
And she was starting to see
That she would end up like all of the cool kids
She did not want to live
The way that they did
Really she just wanted to be herself
It's the small things that'll make you who you are
The simple things will take us far
When you're down
Do do do do do do
And when you're lost
Do do do do do do
You've got to shake it off, shake it off,
shake it off, and step up!
And when there's no where to go
Do do do do do
And when you feel all alone
Do do do do do do
You've got to shake it off, shake it off,
shake it off, and step up! [Step up!]

1. QUITS


We couldn't call it love cause it really wasn't love anymore

Yet we couldn't call it hate cause there's no way to hate

Someone you've loved so much before
We couldn't call it livin' cause it wasn't still alive

We couldn't call it dead cause it refused to die

We ran out of anything to call it so we called it quits

Quits quits we called it quits it sounds like the easy way out but oh when it hits

The longer you live with someone you can't live with the harder it gets

We called it magic then we called it tragic finally we called it quits

It's always been harder to fall out of love than fall in

I don't know where I'm goin' but I doubt if I'll ever forget where I've been

We couldn't call it happy though it was for a while

We couldn't call it sad cause it taught us both to smile

For luck for a better word to call it we called it quits

Quits quits we called it quits it sounds like the easy way out but oh when it hits

The longer you live with someone you can't live with the harder it gets

We called it lovely then we called it lonely finally we called it quits

We called it magic then we called it tragic finally we called it quits

2. GOLDEN GUITAR

I happened to walk into a honky tonk one night down in New Orleans

Up above the bar hung a big guitar like none I'd ever seen

The neck was set with diamonds and though the strings were old

Like Kings of Sound they wound around six keys of solid gold
A man stepped up beside me his breath was strong with wine

He said you know that guitar once belonged to a mighty close pal of mine

He used to play it right here I forget the year around '45 I think

Ha I could tell you quite a story friend if you'd care to buy me a drink

[ ac.guitar ]

Well I possessed by every weakness that takes a man a fool

I bought a round he drank it down and then he rocked back on his stool

He said yeah I remember now it was '45 alright

He just returned from the Great War that's where he lost his sight

His buddies gave him that guitar at the time it was simple and plain

He added the gold and the diamonds as he played his way to fame

He was doing a show in Shreveport the night he received a call

To come appear on the Grand Ole Opry the greatest show at all

[ ac.guitar ]

I was driving him to Nashville it was cold and misting rain

The signals flashed and the whistle screamed I swear Mister I never saw that train

I heard the doctor tell him just after he used his knife

You're lucky son it was just your arm it could have been your life

But he died that night life just demanded more than he could give

I think he couldn've made it he just lost his will to live

But this world's loss is heaven's gain and tonight he's still a star

He plays with a band of angels that's my son's golden guitar

3. LOVE IS A FRAGILE THING

My mama and daddy were celebrating their anniversary

In all their years together I'd never seen them disagree

I said mama what's your secret daddy tell me the truth
They laid a little wisdom on me that I've carried ever since my youth

If you hold on to love too tight it'll crumble and crack

If you hold on to love too loosely it'll fly away and won't come back

Love has a mind of it's own it'll dance like a kite on a string

For something that can be so strong love is a fragile thing love sure is a fragile thing



They said your mama and your daddy ain't perfect son we made our share of mistakes

But we never go to bed when either one's mad no matter how long it takes

We sit up and talk things over till we work everything out

We kiss goodnight and in the morning we've forgotten what we argued about

If you hold on to love...

True love is a treasure treat it like it is

And then one day you can say to your own kids

3. WHEN A MAN CAN'T GET A WOMAN OFF HIS MIND


I've been fightin' with these sheets again can't make myself lie still

My pillowcase is soaking wet and yet I feel a chill

It takes all I can do these days to just survive the nights
It gets crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind

When a man can't shake a memory he runs hot and cold and blind

He hates he then he loves her then he hates her one more time

Your love has such a grip on me it chokes me like a vine

Oh it's crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind

I've been phoning you since eight o'clock it's almost four a.m.

My mind keeps painting pictures of you out loving him

I just crushed a dixie cup for running out of wine

It gets crazy when a man can get a woman off his mind

Repeat Chorus/tag:
drives him crazy when a man can't get his woman off his mind

When a man can't shake...

4. TOUCH MY HEART

Johnny Paycheck - Aubrey Mayhew - Donny Young)
Bill Anderson & Len Miller

Touch my heart feel the hurt it's destroying me
I've tried but can't seem to shake her memory
Touch my heart feel the hurt the pain and misery
Then tell me again what love can do for me.

If you lived in my world awhile you'd soon forget how to smile
In my world there's a million ways to cry
If you had my eyes you could see how someone changed my destiny
I'm a man who can't live and yet can't die.

--- Instrumental ---

Touch my heart feel the hurt it's destroying me
I've tried but can't seem to shake her memory
Touch my heart feel the hurt the pain and misery
Then tell me again what love can do for me...

5. ROLLING IN MY SWEET BABY'S ARMS

(Lester Flatt)

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.

I ain't gonna work on the railroad
And I ain't gonna work on the farm
I'll just lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
And rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.

--- Instrumental ---

Where were you last Friday night
While I was lyin' in jail
Walkin' the streets with another man
You wouldn't even go my bail.

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.

Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...

6. I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER


I can't take any longer baby I mean I can't wait any longer

Mhm I gotta have you I gotta know how it is to touch you

To hold you to feel you our lives have touched our minds have touched
And I can't wait any longer for our boddies to touch our souls to touch

I can't wait any longer this feelin's gettin' stronger

Satisfy my hunger you're the only one who can

Where do I have to go what do I have to do

Who do I have to lie to so I can lie with you I can't wait any longer

[ strings ]

Patience has never been one of my virtues baby when I want something I want it now

And I want you now I wanna kiss you now I wanna love you now

I can't wait any longer...

(I can't wait I can't wait doo doo doo) baby I can't wait any longer

I want you now hmm now yeah (I can't wait I can't wait...)

7. BUT YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU

trumpet ]

Now the morning sun streaks across my room

And I'm wakened up from another dream of you

Yes I'm on the road once again it seems
All I've left behind is a chain of broken dreams

But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you

How I wish this love was all we'd need to live

What a life we'd have cause I've got so much to give

And it seems so wrong deep inside my heart

That the dollar sign should be keeping us apart

But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you

If only I could find my way back to the time

When the problems of this life had not yet crossed our minds

For the answers could be found in children's nursery rhymes

I'd come running back to you

But you know we can't live on dreams alone

Got to pay the rent got to leave you all alone

But you know I made my choice many years ago

Now this traveling life is the only life I know

But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you

But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you

But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you

8. I HAVE BEEN LOVING YOU TOO LONG



've been loving you too long
it's time I sang a different song

You've been stringing me along
I've been loving you too long

I've been clinging like a vine
but I'm gonna take the time
To find where I belong
I've been loving you too long

Babe I'm not saying that
I've stopped loving you

That it won't be hard to say goodbye

I may never get your lovin' out of my head
but I'm just saying that I've gotta try

I've been loving you too long...

[ dobro ]

No one owns another one and that's what you try

You tried to own me body mind and soul

Love to you's a one way street all coming your way

But always givin's gettin' kind of gold

I've been loving you too long...

9. FOOT PRINTS ON SAND


Over all my burdens and through all my fears
Jesus carries me
Through all my trials and through all my tears
Jesus carries me.

One night a man had a dream
And he dreamed he was walking with the Lord
A crossed the sky flashed scenes from his life
For each scene he noted two sets of footprints in the sand
One belonged to him the other to the Lord
When the last scene of his life flashed before him
He looked back at the footprints in the sand
And noticed that many times along the path of his life
There was only one set of footprints
He also noticed that this seemed to happen
At the very lowest and sadist times in his life
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it
Lord you said that once I decided to follow you
You would walk with me all the way but I have noticed
That in the most troublesome times in my life
There are only one set of foot prints
I don't understand why when I needed you the most
You would leave me

The Lord replied, ''Oh, my precious, precious child
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering
When you see only one set of foot prints.
I did not leave you, it was then that I carried you.''

Over all my burdens and through all my fears
Jesus carries me
Through all my trials and through all my fears
Jesus carries me.

Oh, he carries me across
The burning sand, over water deep and wide
He gently takes me by the hand
And carries me to the other side.

Oh, my Jesus carries me...

10 I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY


My friend I said a prayer for you today
And I know God must've heard
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word.

I didn't ask for wealth or fame
I knew you wouldn't mind
I ask Him to send you treasure's
Of a far different kind.

I asked that He watch over you
At the start of each new day
And grant you health and peace
And friends to share your way.

I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small
But it was for God's loving care
I prayed most of all...
