1.JUST WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST
You packed in the morning I stared out the window and I
Struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way
Now I miss you more than I missed you before and now
Where I'll find comfort God knows
Cause you left me just when I needed you most
You left me when I needed you most
Now most every morning I stare out the window
And I wonder about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you'd just send one to me
Cause I need you more...
[ guitar ]
(Just when I needed you most)
You packed in the morning...

2. LOVE IS LIKE A BUTTERFLY
Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
I feel it when you're with me
It happens when you kiss me
That rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside
Your touch is soft and gentle
Your kiss is warm and tender
Whenever I am with you I think of butterflies
Love is like a butterfly
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
Your laughter brings me sunshine
Everyday is spring time
And I am only happy when you are by my side
How precious is this love we share
How very precious, sweet and rare
Together we belong like daffodils and butterflies
Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

3. LOST FOR EVER IN YOUR KISS
This is not at all like me I never thought that I could be
So overcome by anyone like this
But you caught me by surprise caught me before I realized
Now I am lost forever in your kiss
So take me if you want me love me if you will
For you have all control of me and I am yours until
Till you say that you don't want me oh I hope that never will be
For I'm lost forever in your kiss
You're on my mind constantly oh and this is all so new to me
And when you reach for me I can't resist
For I've become a part of you and I'll do anything you want me to
For I am lost forever in your kiss
So take me if you want me...

4. LOVE AND LEARN
That's the way love is you have to love and learn
I've lost again but can't I win these tears that I cried make my eyes burn
Each new love I'd find turns out to deepen the wrong time
And it looks like I'll just have to love and learn
Love and learn just hurt and yearn for someone who will love me in return
I'll be hurt many times before the right one I find
But that's the way love is you have to love and learn
[ steel ]
Love and learn...
Yes that's the way love is you have to love and learn

5. LOVE HAVE MERCY ON US.
I wasn't looking for you when I found you
I just turned and I saw you there
And I was so lonely and lost when I found you and
I needed somebody to care
And it had been so long since I'd been happy or needed or wanted or loved
And now that I've found you let my arms around you oh love have mercy on us
Have mercy on us don't let it be wrong for there is nothing to live all alone
And now that you're mine may love treat us kind oh love have mercy on us
Oh what must we do with this love for each other is it wrong to love one so much
I want to be with you and oh how I miss you oh love have mercy on us
Have mercy on us...

6. YOURS LOVE
May the fruit of my toil be yours love
May the food from my soil be yours love
And from this moment on may a love that is strong
That lives on and on be yours love
May the sons that I raise be yours love
May the comforts I praise be yours love
If I ever get weak may the love words I speak
And the arms that I seek be yours love
May the Lord's shining grace be yours love
May the happiest face be yours love
May the last fingertips that touch these two lips
As life from me slips be yours love
And from this moment on may a love that is strong
That lives on and on be yours love

7. YOUR KISSES ARE CHARITY
Last night you breathed the deepest sigh
Turned away with those gold cold cool eyes
You said won't you give me space to breathe
But my tears gave you confidence to leave
Now you say I'm just too much for you
There are things you'll never know
If you lie and cheat so easily
Ya better go, you better go
Go, go, go, you better go
All I know is how I feel
And my heart is always yours to steal
But you take and never give to me
Your kisses are charity
Your kisses are charity
Yesterday you were my brightest star
But even when you're near
I don't know where you are
I was wrong to show my weaker side
Now it's much too late to cry, cry, cry
I was blind to put my trust in you
If you leave me, I'll fall apart
Did you plan to make a fool out of me
From the start, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All I know is how I feel
And my heart was always yours to steal
But you take and never give to me
Your kisses are charity
Your kisses are charity
Now you say I'm too much for you
There are things you'll never know
If you lie and cheat so easily
Ya better go, you better go
Go, go, go, you better go
All I know is how I feel
And my heart was always yours to steal
But you take and never give to me
Your kisses are charity
You never give to me
All I know is how I feel
And my heart was always yours to steal
But you take but never give to me
Your kisses are charity
Your kisses are charity

9. YOU'VD LOST THAT LOVIN' FEELING
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it, baby
But baby, baby I know it
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, woah
Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And now your're starting to critisize little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying, baby
'Cause baby, something in you is dying
You lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, woah
Baby, baby, I get down on my knees and pray to you
If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love, a love, a love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on, woah
You've lost the lovin' feeling
Woah, that lovin' feeling
You've lost the lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Fade:
Bring back that lovin' feeling, bring it on back
Woah, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone

10. YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
I found out the hard way and I'm never gonna break your heart
I know too late and I don't wanna break your heart
Guess I had to go way just to find what I left behind
You're the only one you're the only one
Take me back to where we started from
And let's make it now like we made it then
This old heart ain't gonna break your heart again
Nights I lay in bed and your covers wouldn't warm my feet
And morning found me bitter or a bit too sweet
Or maybe I had to go away just to run back and say
You're the only one you're the only one...
You're the only one darling there'll never be anyone else but you
I love you so much you are my life
You've become my life and I never meant to break your heart
But sometimes you just gotta go way to find what you left behind
You're the only one you're the only one...

11. NINE TO FIVE
Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawnin', stretchin', try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
They let your dream, just watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away
In the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship 'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn an' it's all gonna roll you away
Workin' 9 to 5 what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life and you think about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game, no matter what they call it
And you spend your life putting money in his wallet
Workin' 9 to 5, oh what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use you mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life and you think about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game, no matter what they call it
And you spend your life putting money in his wallet

12. I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
If I should stay
Well I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, and yet I know
that I'll think of you
each step of my way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all I have
and all I'm taking with me
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
Cause we both know that I'm not
what you need
I will always love you
I will always love you
And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
that you ever dreamed of
Oh, I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you...

13. JOLENE
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene
(Jolene)

14. COAT OF MANY COLOURS
Back through the years I go wonderin' once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors and every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fog
Momma sewed the rags together sewin' every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors that I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story from the Bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors Joseph wore and then she said
"Perhaps this coat will bring you good luck and happiness"
And I just couldn't wait to wear it and momma blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colors that my momma made for me
Made only from rags but I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money oh I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors my momma made for me
So with patches on my britches and holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing and making fun of me
In my coat of many colors my momma made for me
And oh I couldn't understand it for I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love my momma sewed in every stitch
And I told 'em all the story momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors was worth more than all their clothes
But they didn't understand it and I tried to make them see
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money but I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors my momma made for me
Made just for me

15. MY TENNESSEE MOUNTAIN HOME
Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon
In a straightback chair on two legs leaned against the wall
Watch the kids a playin' with June bugs on a string
And chase the glowin' fireflies when evening shadows fall
In my Tennessee mountain home life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home crickets are singing in the fields near by
And honeysuckle vines clings to the fence along the lane
Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
And on a distant hilltop an eagle spreads its wings
And a songbird on a fencepost sings a melody
In my Tennessee mountain home...
[ fiddle ]
Walking home from church on Sunday with the one you love
Just laughing talking making future plans
And when yiz see folks ain't lookin' you might steal a kiss or two
While sittin' in the porchswing holding hands.

16. LOVE IS OUT TO NIGHT
As blue skies and daylight darken into night
Surrounding us with beauty as the stars make their light
They spell out our names all the stars up above
As they flicker and shine like letters of love
Then a warm breath of air whispers through the trees
As the leaves on their branches have blown to the breeze
Ripples of water seemed to echo the sound
Love's out tonight there's love all around
Small drops of dew act as nature's perfume
Placing its fragrance on all that's in blue
While I hold you so close your lips touching mine
With nature all around us watching our love entwine
Love's out tonight see the candles in the sky
God lend us the heavens tonight for you and I
A night full of love for all the world to see
Love's out tonight all around you and me
Love's out tonight
