Bridge Over Troubled Water
When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all;
I'm on your side.
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
[Bridge Over Troubled Water, by Paul Simon (C) 1970 Columbia records]
It's Never Easy To Say Goodbye
Jimmy climbs on board that old yellow bus
It sure looks big in his little eyes
His mama waits as her tears kick up the dust
It’s never easy to say goodbye
Julie Ray in her pear white wedding gown
Has found her wings and it’s time to fly
It’s all her dad can do to keep from breakin’ down
It’s never easy to say goodbye
It ain’t easy to ever say goodbye
It ain’t easy lettin’ go of the ones you love
But believe me, begin by and by,
If not here than somewhere up above
I’ve had some friends that I lost along the way
They’ve been called o down the line
Though their time was short,
I think about them every day
And it ain't easy to say goodbye
(repeat chorus)
Now the time has come to go our separate ways
And it’s all right if you want to cry
And no one knows, we’ll meet again someday
It’s never easy to say goodbye
Words and Music by Bernie Nelson and Allen Shamblin
When I Reach The Place I'm Goin'
When I reach the place I'm Goin’
I will surely know my way
And I will turn and look inside me
And bid farewell to one more day
Ev’ry light begins with darkness
Every flower is once a seed
And with the sun and wind to test us
We are bound to be released
I will fly beyond this valley
I will open up the gate
And when I reach the place I'm goin’
I will surely know my way
We have hands to hold our sorrow
We have tears to heal the pain
And though your eyes ask many questions
On your lips I hear my name
I was born without a whisper
I was born beneath the rain
But when I reach the place I’m goin’
I will surely know my way
I will surely know my way
Words and Music by Emory Gordy Jr. and Joe Henry
All Of That Love From Here
I can see a cotton field,
Old man workin’ in the mill
I can see he’s loadin’ the trunk
Of my old blue Oldsmobile
I see the tears in my mama’s eyes
When she kissed her baby goodbye
I can still feel all of that love from here
(chorus)
I can see the cotton sheets
They’re swingin’ in the wind
I close my eyes and my mind flies
And I'm right back home again
And I get lost while I’m chasing my dreams
I’ve found my way ‘cause my heart has wings
And I can still feel all of that love from here
I was raised on loves foundation
Rock of ages goes unshakin’
The faith and hope that was given to me
Is stronger than the Black Jack tree
My mama taught me how to stand alone
She let me go but she still holds on
And I can still feel all of that love from here
(repeat chorus)

Love Can Build A Bridge
I'd gladly walk across the desert
With no shoes upon my feet
To share with you the last bite
Of bread I had to eat
I would swim out to save you
In your sea of broken dreams
When all your hopes are sinkin'
Let me show you what love means
(Chorus)
Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don't you think it's time
Don't you think it's time
I would whisper love so loudly
Every heart could understand
That love and only love
Can join the tribes of man
I would give my hearts desire
So that you might see
The first step is to realize
That it all begins with you and me
(Repeat Chorus)
When we stand together
It's our fines hour
We can do anything, anything
Anything, anything
Keep believin' in the power
(Repeat Chorus)
Yeah, yes I do
Love can build a bridge
Love and only love
Between your heart and mine
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Love and only love
Don't you think it's time
Don't you think it's time
Love and only love
Love and only love

Young Love (Strong Love)
She was sitting crossed legged on a hood of a ford
Filing down her nails with a emory board
Talking to her friends about people they knew
And all of the things that young girls do
When she said you see that guy in the baseball cap
I'd like to spend some time with a boy like that
Betty said
I seen him at the hardware store
I think his name is Billy, but i'm not sure
And as they talked a little while he passed by
She smiled at him he just said "hi"
He was thinking to him self as he walked away
Man I'd like to find a girl like her someday
(Chorus)
Young love, strong love, true love
It's a new love
Their gonna make it through the hard times
Walk those lines
Young love
We'll she just couldn't stop her self from thinking
about him
And at a store downtown she saw him again she had
both hands full
He held open the door
Said my name is Billy
I've seen you before Can I help you with these
Can I give you a ride
Can I take you out on a Saturday night
She didn't have to say what she was feeling inside
He could see the answer shining in her eyes
(Chorus)
We'll from that day on
You couldn't keep them apart
They were side by side, heart to heart
Momma cried as Billy slipped the ring on her hand
And when the baby was born she was crying again
Well he worked real hard and put some money down
On a little old house at the edge of town
And that night as he held her he couldn't believe
That god had made a girl that he'd never ever leave
(Chorus)
She was sitting crossed legged on the hood of a ford
Filing down her nails with an emory board...

I Know Where I'm Going
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you want to come too
I got my reservations
And I got one for you
The trains leavin' just after dark
There's always room for a lovin' heart
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too
I know my destination
It's all waiting for you
I got no hesitation
That's where I want to be
And by the time that the sun comes up
I'll be drinkin' from a lovin' cup
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you want to come too
(Chorus)
Don't you wanna come
Don't you wanna ride
Don't you wanna be there by my side
Hand in hand
Holding on to
The sweet salvation
That's waiting for me and you
I know why I'm singin'
Don't you want to sing too
Can't you hear the bells a ringin'
Let the spirit move you
Just close your eyes
And let it flow
Lean your head back, let it go
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too
(Repeat Chorus)
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too
I got my reservations
And I got one for you
I know why I'm singin'
Don't you want to sing too
Can't you hear the bells a ringin'
Let the spirit move you
Spirit move you, yeah
I know where I'm going'
Don't you wanna come too
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too

Rock Bottom
When you hit rock bottom
You got two ways to go
Straight up, and sideways
I have seen my share of hard times
And I’m letting you know
Straight up is my way
Things are tough all over, but I got good news
When you get down to nothing
You got nothing to lose
I was born naked, but I’m glory bound
And a dead end street is just a place to turn around
When the sky is the limit up in easy street
Rock bottom ain’t no place to be
Rock bottom ain’t no place for me, no, no
When the law of the jungle is the law of the land
Good luck, stayin’ alive
I keep a clinched fist under this hat in my hand
‘Cause only the strong will survive
Things are tough all over but I got good news
When you get down to nothin’ you got nothin’ to lose
Anyways rock bottom is good solid ground
And a dead end street is just a place to turn around
When the sky is the limit
Up on easy street
Rock bottom ain’t no place to be
Rock bottom ain’t no place for me, no, no
Words and Music by Marcus Hummon and Roger Murrah
Only Love
I have sailed a boat or two
Out on the wild blue
Yonder to dreams that rarely come true
As far as I can see from the island of green
I can put my trust in just one thing
Only love sails straight from the harbor
Only love will lead you to the other shore
And out of all the flags I've flown
One flies high and stands alone, only love
Peaceful waters, raging sea
It’s all the same to me I can close my eyes and still
be free
When the waves come crashing down
And the thunder rolls around
I can feel my feet on solid ground
Repeat Chorus
Words and Music by Buddy Buie and J.R. Cobb
No One Else On Earth
I’ve been a rock and I’ve got my fences
I never let them down
When it comes to love I keep my senses
I don’t get kicked around
I shivered once you broke in to my soul
The damage is done now,
I'm out of control
How did you get to me
No one else on earth could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth was ever worth it
No one can love me like you
You can make me want you any time you want to
You’re burnin’ me alive
I can’t deny you even when
I catch you weavin’ a weak alibi
‘Cause when the night falls, you make me forget
Your love is killing me and it ain’t over yet
No one else on earth could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth was ever worth it
No one could love me like
No one could hurt me like you
