ONE OF THESE DAYS I’ve been hoping to see your silhouette in the doorway Even though I know that your miles away Just to run like a fool into your waiting arms Couldn’t you surprise me one of these days Chorus One of these days you might surprise me Make my heart stop just for a while And one of these days when I’m coming home so tired Could you make my heart leap, ah, at the sight of your smile And I’ve been hoping to see your truck in the driveway Even though I know that there isn’t a chance But there’s always that one, that one in a million And miracles can happen in the game of romance Chorus Maybe you’ve been fired or they let you out early Maybe the work back home just got done Or maybe you found yourself feeling lonely And you had to come see me you son of a gun Chorus But there’s always more work and I know you won’t get fired And if you get lonely you just get by And life isn’t much like a movie anyway Still there’s a hope in this old heart of mine Chorus One of these days You might surprise me One of these days Ah One of these days

LOVING KIND 02:56
THE LOVING KIND Lying here feeling so warm Lying here feeling so fine And I know what makes you so special You are the loving kind baby You are the loving kind sweet baby You are the loving kind Even when I’m far away from you You’re always on my mind And I shout halleluiah that I found you Cause you are the loving kind baby You are the loving kind sweet baby You are the loving kind You got a way to bring out the best you can find In me and Ill stay yes I’ll stay Cause you are the loving kind baby You are the loving kind sweet baby You are the loving kind And in this world of cold and lonely places You are a welcome sight And I’d go to the end of this troubled earth baby Just to have you hold me tight You got a way to bring out the best you can find In me and Ill stay yes I’ll stay Cause you are the loving kind baby You are the loving kind sweet baby You are the loving kind So you can take all the fancy dressers in this world With their chocolates and their roses and their dinners for two And I’d trade all the fine things in this world Just for a moment with you Cause you got a way you got a way To bring out the best you can find In me and Ill stay yes I’ll stay Cause you are the loving kind baby You are the loving kind sweet baby You are the loving kind

God made mamas to cry When he gave them headstrong children with leaving on their mind Saying every little bird must leave the nest some time And he made mamas so smart so she could see and excuse And I tell you not to worry mama but I know its no use God made mamas to cry When he gave her wandering children who just for get to write And then he makes mama worry long into the night Yes god gave mamas too much heart And children that try to tear it apart I guess its god made mamas to cry When he gave them headstrong children who just wouldn’t lie Even though it hurt so hard sometimes And I know it doesn’t seem fair that I can’t stop you from caring And I just can’t see why you got children like me Why mamma Why, why, why I guess its god made mamas to cry God made mamas to cry

DECISION 03:45
Decision There comes a time like with you and me When we realise that we are more than just a passing a phase And I hear you say that you never dreamed But doesn’t life work in mysterious way and its Chorus Simply a matter of taking you time Simply a matter of making your business mine Simply lovely simply frightening simply wonderful simply strange Simply saying you’re my man and my opinion won’t change We walk alone hand in hand This man loves me and I love this man But still the fear of hte great unknown What changes may occur if I don't live alone Chorus I feel afraid I feel too young Will my life end or has it just begun But I can’t see life without your life But I can’t imagine my self as someones wife And reasons come and reasons go But deep inside I still don't know

SHEEP CREEK 03:54
Chorus I’m going up to Sheep Gonna climb me a mountain Gonna dangle my feet in a cool mountain stream I’m gonna fill up my lungs With Rockie Mountain air I’ll be there if only in my dreams Well it’s hard to imagine in this eight dollar room That a man could be free as a dream And these tired old feet on this Calgary street Were once lying under a tall fir tree And isn’t it strange how fate deals a blow And can leave you wounded by the road I’m gonna lick those wounds, I’m gonna stand up straight And I tell you the first place t hat I’m gonna go Chorus There’s a woman who says that I promised her something I don't know maybe she’s right Cause a man will promise his heart and his soul If it ‘s late enough at night So I gave her my watch and we parted with a curse And she told me where I could go I’ve been there thanks, quite recently too But now Heaven’s the place where I’m planning to go. Chorus

Chorus Play me something sentimental You know it's been a long time Since I've heard something soft and gentle About true hearts loving 'til the end of time Doesn't anybody hope anymore? Doesn't anyone elope anymore? Aren't they're any Valentinos around Whose heart breaks at the sound Of that old familiar refrain: "I'll never be in love again" "...so please, lady..." Chorus Everyone is in to therapy these days Holding Freud and Jung hysterically these days Whatever happened to the walk hand-in-hand By the sea and the sand Writing poems to one of his smiles I haven't heard a poem like that in such a long long while "...so please, lady..." Chorus Everyone is cold, you know " Our-relationship-is-very-free-and-open!" I'm told, you know Whatever happened to the nights of romance Waiting for her glance Dying if she looked and she frowned A kiss was bliss, your heart would break when your love wasn't found "...so please, lady..." Chorus You know they make me sad, those memories You know they aren't all bad, those memories

ROY 03:21
Roy Bad luck, bad times It’s taught him how to fight And he saw the sixties and he watched them die And he knows there’s not much wrong But there’s even less right But he’s dreaming of where the waters sweet And the cops don't know his name And fears not a click on the telephone line And the nights don't need cocaine It’s hard to smile when your worked to the bare And your woman’s run off with someone new But he manages one and says you look great And he looks like death but I say so do you Cause he’s dreaming of where the waters sweet And the cops don't know And fears not a click on the telephone line And the nights don't need cocaine He works might hard for his dollar these days But he’s got a scheme to pull him ahead But he leaps into trouble like Errol Flynn It’s a wonder he ain’t dead But he’s dreaming of where the waters sweet And the cops don't know where the waters sweet And fears not a click on the telephone line And the nights don't need cocaine

SOCAN Aurevoir bye bye, aurevoir bye bye mon amour Québecois Je t'aime et tout et moi mais ça fait rien, ça ne fait rien Parce-que ce n'est pas très chic , ce n'est pas très chic avec tes amis politiques To have a girl who can't speak the language well , ah what the hell, eh?

Chorus Aurevoir bye bye, aurevoir bye bye mon amour Québecois Je t'aime et tout et moi mais ça ne fait rien, ça ne fait rien Ta mère et ton père, ta mère et ton père t e disent que ce n'est pas très bien Ils connaissent que je viens de l'ouest ce n’est pas the best, ha ha! And I agree, and I agree I suppose they're right But I don't feel that way late at night Chorus Aurevoir bye bye, aurevoir bye bye mon amour Québecois Je t'aime et tout et moi mais ça ne fait rien, ça ne fait rien

GONE ARE THE DAYS Gone are the days that you felt like dancing Gone are the ways that you felt romancing They’re gone with the way that you’d laugh till the tears would come And oh how the minutes and the days and the years would come Gone are the days that you walked hand in hand Gone are the ways that you tried to understand Gone with the ways that you treasured those special times Oh the memories are golden but the present isn’t worth a dime Gone are the days that he wanted to touch to you Gone are the ways that he meant so much to you They’re gone with the smile that you just won’t give to him now you won’t give in to him now you wont give in Gone are the days that you felt like dancing Gone are the ways that you felt romancing They’re gone, gone, gone

STRENGTH LOVE AND LAUGHTER Woman you’re gonna need some strength just to get through Woman you got to find that strength deep inside of you Chorus Cause who know what you just might find Who knows what you might see No one can take what is truly yours And if you want clean water You got to Dig down dig down deep Woman you’re gonna need some laughter just to get through Woman you got to find that laughter deep inside of you Chorus Woman you’re gonna need some love just to get through Woman you’ve got to find that love deep inside of you Chorus Deep like a river you got to dig down deep repeat Chorus
