Maybe
Maybe it’s the way you walk maybe it’s your chin
Maybe it’s the way your eyes never fail to drag me in
Maybe it’s the way you laugh or how you make me sigh
Or how some sad French song always makes you cry
Maybe there’s a reason we do the things we do
Maybe there’s a reason why I m in love with you
Maybe it’s how your serious or when you act the fool
Maybe it’s how you make me hot when you’re acting cool
Maybe it’s the thrill I get every time you call
Maybe it’s the clothes you wear or when you wear none at all
Maybe it’s the little things maybe it’s the grand
But I kind of think it’s all the things that we don’t understand
Chorus
I think it’s magic, melody
I think it’s a mystery
From down below or up above Who knows why we love
Maybe it’s the things you’ve got
or the things you lack Maybe it’s the way we dance,
your hand upon my back
Maybe it’s the time or the troubles that we’ve shared
Or how when I’m with you my heart is never scared
Maybe it is destiny or how you hum a tune
Maybe it is chemistry, maybe it’s the moon
Chorus
The world has not enough of the kind of love that’s true
That’s the kind of stuff that made me fall in love with
Chorus

OH MY LOVE

OH MY LOVE
When I am thirsty you give me water
When I am hungry you share your bread
When I am weary you sit beside me
It’s your shoulder that cradles my head
When I am happy we start dancing
When I am sad you start a pot of tea
When I am broken you start fixing
All the ragged parts of me
Chorus
Ohmyloveohmylove ohmyohmylove
Oh my love oh my love oh my oh my love oh my love
And if I ever lose my conviction
Thinking that what I do doesn’t mean anything
You sit me down in my kitchen
You pick up your guitar and sing
And if I ever start to doubt
‘Cause that’s the kind of woman I can be
You sit me down and you sing out
This chorus in perfect harmony
Chorus
I must have a guardian angel
Some one up there who could see
That all I ever needed in this world
Was someone like you coming on to me
Chorus Chorus

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
04:11
|

What might have Been
There are paths you choose along the way
But don’t you wonder “what might have been”
If you knew then what you know today
Don’t you wonder “what might have been”
If you’d kissed that boy forever
If you hadn’t lost the job in the café
If you’d gotten it together
Or if you had thrown it all away
All the lessons learned, all the fingers burned
All the troubles you got out of or got in
Don’t you wonder sometimes “what might have been”
Do your ever sit and think about
Where you could be now
If the twists were turns, if the ins were out
Where you could be now
If you’d hitchhiked out of town
If you hadn’t had that extra gin
Settled for or settled down
If you hadn’t listened to the little voice within
The loves that made you fall,
the nights you wowed them all
The times you took it on the chin
Don’t you wonder sometimes “what might have been”
But at the time you never see it,
how all the doors get opened
You’ve make your choice
you think you know the way
You discover later that the smallest thing can change it
Leading you to
where you are today
So when you’re looking back
at luck or destiny
Remember each day is a new way to begin
Some day you’ll be looking back here
And will you wonder? What might have been

YOU'RE ALL RIGHT
01:34

You’re All Right
Ooo look at you Ooo look at you
You’re not too young and not too old
You’re all right
Not too hot and not too cold
You’re all right
Not too foolish not too wise
A smile that goes right to your eyes
Ooo what a nice surprise
You’re all right
You’re not too poor and not too rich
You’re all right
You look pretty good with out a stitch
You’re all right
Not too short and not too tall
The kind you want to kiss in the hall
When it comes to good you’re not bad at all
You’re all right
So tell me every night you’re free
Cause it is fairly clear to see
That there’s the possibility
That I am made for you
And you are made for me.
Your’re not too crazy not too sane
You’re all right
The kind that calls a girl back again
You’re all right
You’re not to this not to that
You seem to know just where it’s at
You gotta lot going on beneath your hat
You’re all right
You’re not too messy not too neat
You’re all right
Not too sour not too sweet
You’re all right
Just like Goldilocks would say
Before the bears came back her way
This bed is where I want to stay
You’re all right
You’re all right

A LONG,LONG WAY (PAULS SONG)
I have travelled this world and I travel it still
But I know where I belong and I always will
There’s sage and there’s open, there’s towns spread apart
There’s wind that pushes the dust and the beat of my heart
Chorus
I’m a long, long way from the place I was born
Where the hills are all rounded and the clouds can look torn
Where the trees aren’t majestic
they leave that to the sky I’m a long way now, but I’ll be back by and by
I’m a long way now but I’ll be back by and by
There’s a spot on the hill where you can see far
On a clear night to the highway and the lights of the cars
They are going so fast they are rushing away
They have home in their rear view mirror but they‘ll come back some day
Chorus
And the one who raised me he has passed on
One minute he’s there and the next he is gone
But he’s still in the wind that blows round the yard
Where the house he was born in still stands though time has treated it hard
So chante Michelle, ta voix comme les plaines Chante Michelle and we’ll all sing again
Some voices missing but the younger ones will Still sing of the wind and the view from the hill
Chorus
I’m a long, long way from the place I was born
Where the hills are all rounded and the clouds can look torn Where the trees aren’t majestic they leave that to the sky
I am missing it now, but I’ll be back by and by
I’m a long way now but I’ll be back by and by

Welcome to Heartacheville
Say goodbye to your smile You won’t stay here forever But you might be here a while.
Check out the café called “Been cheated On”
The daily special’s humble pie
There’s a room at Regret hotel
For having a good cry
Welcome to “I’m not good enough” That well-known cul de sac
Right next to the roundabout Called I think I’ll take them back
Chorus
Cause you think you’ll never love again
Of course someday you will
But until then
You’re in Heartacheville
Welcome to Heartachesville Betrayal’s the main drag
You can roar past trying to work it out All the way to pack your bag
There’s a scenic view Called love is blind where some are known to fall
or You can stop at I’ve been left behind and wait there for their call
Chorus
We’ve got a bar called the Last Chance
A bitter drink called “they’ve found someone new “
There’s a motel called Romance
That has no room for you
Every band here plays the blues Every love song here is sad
There’s a freeway called “ Get Even” That intersects with “Mad”
THey might lead you out of town Away from Memory Lane
But when the sun goes down You’re back again
Welcome to Heartacheville
Corner of Tequila and lime
And that’s the closest that you’ll get round here
To having a good time.
‘Cause you think you’ll never love again
Of course someday you will
But until then
Welcome to heartacheville
In the middle of “they’re the one for me “
A little ways from “Thank God I’m free “

Sweet as Okanagan Peaches
I don’t ask for much in this big old world
Fancy things they just get in the way
All I need is someone who loves me
Who holds me close and tells me he will stay
So out where the road goes up the mountain
And it stops and you've got to walk a while
That's where that someone is waiting
And everything I need is in his smile
Chorus
He's as warm as the sun out on the beach is
He's as cool as a sparkling mountain stream
He's as sweet as Okanogan peaches
That's my rocky mountain dream
Some have a bank and that's where their heart is
Some hand it out to every stranger passing by
Some think it’s a race but they don’t know where the start is
My heart’s where the mountains reach up to touch the sky
Chorus
So late at night when I'm stuck in the city
Where you can barely see the stars and moon shine up above
I'll stop and count the minutes till I know I can leave
Then close my eyes and dream of the one I love
Chorus

RIDE GONE WRONG
04:51

Ride Gone Wrong
Come listen up boys I’ll tell you a tale
Of a cow hands life and the lonesome trail
Where the pay is short and the days are long
And the measure of a man is when a ride goes wrong.
You can start out drunk, you can start out blind. You can start out wishing you’d been left behind You’ll start to see if you’re weak or strong
Is when the good luck ends and the ride goes wrong.
Chorus
Wish I had a warm fire, wish I had a soft bed
Wish I had a little whiskey a fiddle and song
Wish I had a shiny gold piece in my pocket instead Of a tired old horse and a ride gone wrong.
There may come a time when all you own is your word
And that’s all that keeps you
from being part of the herd
Money lies so sweet to make you go along
But the truth comes out when the ride goes wrong.
Chorus
On a ride gone wrong there’s only empty sky
Some are lucky to live some are lucky to die
You’ll pray to the Lord for the times you’ve sinned
You’ll hear a sweet girls voice in the lonesome wind.
Chorus
I have earned everything I’ve got
I know the lessons that are learned but can’t be taught
I’m not afraid to die ‘cause far as I can tell
I’m going to heaven ‘cause I’ve already been through hell
On a ride gone wrong , on a ride gone wrong On a ride gone wrong , on a ride gone wrong

UP ABOVE THE DREAM CAFE
03:26

Up Above the Dream Café
Up above the dream café there’s a little pied a terre
If you come out there to play
they will let you stay upstairs
If it rains you can make yourself a pot of tea
If it snows you can stay inside and say oh lucky me
Chorus
I’m up above the dream café
That’s where I’ll spend my day
Just pick up my guitar and play
Up above the dream café
There is someone fast asleep
in the big old queen size bed
I am a morning person he is a night owl instead
So I’ll just sing to the pretty things from far away
It won’t be long till he stumbles out for his “Café au lait”
Chorus
Isn’t this the way it was before we had so much to do
Isn’t this the way we thought our life would be the whole way through
In the cat bird suite, up above the street and let the world slip away Making jokes and making music, making time and making hay
Up above the dream café
There’s a gate like hacienda
there are roses on the cement wall
If I didn’t have a gig tomorrow
I wouldn’t leave this place at all
Chorus
La la la la la la la la la la
This is what a day should be
La la la la la la la la la la
Music you and me

HARD TO SAY GOODBY
04:36
|
|||
|
Hard to say Goodbye
Chorus
It’s so hard to say goodbye It’s so hard I know
It’s so hard to say goodbye So hard to let go
Especially when you know your heart will break You don’t know what you’re going to do
Love, it is a give and take
And take is what you’re going through
Even if you know the time is right You don’t know what you’ll do without All you want is to hold on tight
And that’s what life is all about
Chorus
Especially when you know that they’re your rock The solid place on which you stand
All that’s left now is quiet talk
And you walk on shifting sand.
Especially when you know you’ll never fill The hole that’s left now that they’re gone You want to stop beside the hill
You’re not ready to move on
Chorus
Hold me tight
Sorrow is a word I’m calling Hold me tight
I am falling

YOU ONLY YOU ONLY YOU
02:37

You only you only you
What makes my temperature go up and down
What makes the city feel like my home town
What makes the world go ‘round
You only you only you
What makes the flowers want to bloom
What makes my heart go boom boom boom
What keeps me loving my bedroom
You only you only you
What makes chocolate seem passé
What make old hurts fade away
What makes me happy every day
You only you only you
Champagne’s great and money pays
And friends are always fine
But they don’t dare, compare
To the feeling I get when your lips meet mine
Who makes my heart flutter like a bird
Who makes sense when the world‘s absurd
Who made love more than a four letter word
You only you only you
Who can make a burger feel like steak
Who can make a cracker feel like cake
Who couldn’t bear to see my heart break Y
ou only you only you
You only you only you
Champagne’s great and money pays
And friends are always fine
But they don’t dare, compare
To the feeling I get when your lips meet mine
Who makes the ordinary look divine
Who feels like a bottle of wine
Who’s the only one in this heart of mine.
You only you only you
You only you only you You only you only you

MINER'S WIFE
01:32
|
|||
|
And my Mama said “
Leave him down in that mine”
He’s dug his own grave, just let him lie
I don’t want to see what rock can do to a man
Leave me my memories, leave me to cry
For I am a miner’s wife
And I’ve lived with that fear for most of my life
That if the rock didn’t kill him
The cold dust would
But I wouldn’t have stop him going down
Even if I could
For I’m proud that my man was a miner
He worked hard for his lousy pay
And he didn’t get nothing he didn’t work for
And that’s more than the owners of this mine can say
And so you just leave him down in that mine
He’s dug his own grave, now you just let him lie
I don’t want to see what rock can do to a man
Leave me my memories, leave me to cry

LIKE A MOUNTAIN
04:10
|

|
New love quiet love
Love that dares not shout out loud
Warm love, careful love
That lifts you up above the crowd
Love that shakes you to your core
Love that drags you to your heart
Love you gave up looking for
Love you don’t know where to start
Chorus
Love like a mountain, love like the sky
When you’re close to them you feel high
Love like a mountain, love like the sky
Like a mountain, like the sky
Sweet love, tender love
Love that reaches through the pain
Wild love, wondrous love
That makes you want to live again
Love so bright can’t dim it
Love that lights your way along
Love that knows no limit
Love that makes you strong
Chorus
Love that makes your treasure vast And everything sublime
Love that lasts through trouble Love that lasts through time
Chorus
