Thank God I'm A Country Boy
Composer(s): John Sommers - John Martin Sommers
Performer(s): John Denver



Well, life on the farm is kind of laid back
Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack
It's early to rise, early in the sack
Thank God, I'm A Country Boy

Well a simple kind of life never did me no harm
raisin' me a family and working on a farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God I'm a country boy 

When the work's all done and the sun's setting low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow
The kids are asleep so I keep it kind of low
Thank God I'm a country boy

I'd play "Sally Goodin'" all day if I could
But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good
So I fiddle when I can, work when I should 
Thank God, I'm a country boy

Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's coming up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm A country boy

Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
I'd rather have my fiddle and my farming tools
Thank God I'm a country boy

Yeah, city folk driving in a black limousine
A lot of sad people thinking that's mighty keen
Son, let me tell you now exactly what I mean
I thank God I'm a country boy

Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me an old fiddle
When the sun's coming up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy 

Well, my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died
And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side
He said... 'Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride
And thank God you're a country boy

"My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
He taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle 
Taught me how to love and how to give just a little
Thank God I'm a country boy 

Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's coming up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy 

Thank God I Found You
Composer(s): James Harris - Mariah Carey - Terry Lewis
Performer(s): Joe Henderson, Mariah Carey, 98 Degrees



(Mariah)
I would give up everything
Before I'd separate myself from you
After so much suffering
I've finally found a man that's true
I was all by myself for the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heart it would not subside
I felt like dying 
Until you saved my life

(All)
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
My every wish and every dream 
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
'Cause baby I'm so thankful
I found you

(Joe)
I would give you everything
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do 
To ensure your happiness
I'll cherish every part of you
Because without you beside me I can't survive
I don't wanna try
If you're keeping me warm each and every night
I'll be all right
'Cause I need you in my life

(All)
Thank God I found you (I'm begging you)
I was lost without you (so lost without you)
My every wish and every dream (every dream, every dream)
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight (brought the sunlight)
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
'Cause baby I'm so thankful
I found you 

(Mariah & Joe)
See I was so desolate
Before you came to me
Looking back I guess it shows 
that we were destined to shine 
After the rain to appreciate 
And care for what we have
And I'd go through it all over again
To be able to feel this way

(All)
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you (lost without you baby)
My every wish and every dream 
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life (whole life)
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
Sweet baby I'm so thankful 
I found you

(All)
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
My baby I'm so thankful
I found you

(Mariah)
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
My baby I'm so thankful I found you

Aamunkoittoon et oottanutkaan
lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu
Vain muiston talteen talvelta saan
paljon jää ja pois unohtuu

Kerroitko kaikkea minkä mä näin
lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu
Niin monta kertaa sanoitta jäin
polku luokses' nyt sammaltuu

Kerroinko onnesta minkä mä sain
lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu
Niin paljon kannoit mun huolistain
Raidat kirkkaat nyt haalistuu

Kertoa kuinka nyt sinulle voin
lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu
Kun lähdit niin kaiken jäätyvän koin
Laulu linnun pois vaientuu

Aamunkoittoon et oottanutkaan
lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu
Vain muiston talteen talvelta saan
paljon jää ja pois unohtuu

Thank God For The Radio
Composer(s): Max D. Barnes - Robert John Jones
First release by: The Kendalls - 1983



At the wrong end of the highway
When the long night has no end
When there's no one there beside me
'Til I hold you once again

Thank God for the radio when I'm on the road
When I'm far from home and feelin' blue
Thank God for the radio playin' all night long
Playin' all the songs that mean so much to me and you

There's a song that we first danced to
There's a song that played the night we met
There's a song we fell in love to
That's a song I'll never forget

Thank God for the radio when I'm on the road
When I'm far from home and feelin' blue
Thank God for the radio playin' all night long
Playin' all the songs that mean so much to me and you

Thank God for the radio when I'm on the road
When I'm far from home and feelin' blue
Thank God for the radio playin' all night long
Playin' all the songs that mean so much to me and you

Playin' all the songs that mean so much
Till I feel your tender touch
All the songs that mean so much to me and you

Thank God for the radio

Thank God For Kids
Composer(s): Eddy Raven
Performer(s): The Oakridge Boys
and multiple other artists



If it weren't for kids
have you ever thought
There wouldn't be no Santa Claus?
Or look what the stork just brought
Thank God for kids.

And we'd all live in a quiet house
Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse
Or Kool-aid on the couch
Thank God for kids

Thank God for kids
there's magic for awhile
A special kind of sunshine in a smile
Do you ever stop to think or wonder why?
The nearest thing to heaven is a child

Daddy how does this thing fly?
And a hundred other where's and why's
I really don't know but I try
Thank God for kids

When I look down 
in those trusting eyes
That look to me I realize
There's a love that I can't buy
Thank God for kids

When you get down on your knees tonight
And thank the Lord for His guiding light
And pray they'll turn out right
Thank God for kids
Thank God for kids

Thank God And Greyhound
Composer(s): Larry Kingston - Earl Nix
Performer(s): Roy Clark; Ray Pillow



I've made a small fortune, and you've squandered it all
You've shamed me till I feel about one inch tall
But I thought I loved you, and I hoped you would change
so I gritted my teeth and didn't complain

Now you've come to me with a simple goodbye
You tell me you're leaving, but you won't tell me why
We're here at the station and you're getting on
And all I can think of is...

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone! 

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
I didn't know how much longer I could go on
watching you take the respect out of me
watching you make a total wreck out of me
That big diesel motor is a playing my song

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
That load on my mind got lighter when you got on
That shiney old bus is a beautiful sight
with the black smoke rolling up around the tail lights
It may sound kinda cruel, but I've been silent too long

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone! 

Love's Old Song
Composer(s): Jerry Crutchfield
Performer(s): Barbara Fairchild; Glen Campbell



I'm singing love's old song
The one that when things go wrong, makes you happy
Makes you feel fine
I'm singing love's old song
The melody lingers on forever, now that you're mine

The one that tells how much I love you
The one that tells how, darling, there'll never be anyone above you
I'm singing love's old song
Together we'll sing along
It's heaven loving with you

La la la lalalala
La la la lalalala

I'm singing love's old song
I'll keep on singing as long as you hold me every night and day
I'm singing love's old song
It seems to carry me on forever in every way

The one that tells how much I love you
The one that tells how, darling, there'll never be anyone above you
I'm singing love's old song
Together we'll sing along
It's heaven loving with you
It's heaven loving with you

Love's Made A Fool Of You

Composer(s): Buddy Holly - Bob Montgomery
First recording/First release by: The Crickets - 1958/1959
Covered by multiple other artists



Love can make a fool of you
You'd do anything it wants you to
Love can make you feel so good
When it goes like you think it should

Or it can make you cry at night
When you're baby don't treat you right
When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you

You know love makes fools of men
But you don't care you're gonna try again
Time goes by it's a passing past
You think that love has come at last

But by and by you're gonna find
Crazy love has made you blind
When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you

Love can make you feel so good
When it goes like you think it should
Or it can make you cry at night
When you're baby don't treat you right

When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you

Love's Just A Broken Heart
Composer(s): Kenny Lynch - Mort Shuman 
Performer(s): Cilla Black



They told me love was not what I dreamed it would be
And one day if I fell in love then I would see
But I believed when my love came
My dreams would all come true
But I'm no better now
Now that we're worlds apart
Now as the teardrops start
Love's just a broken heart

They told me when I found you
That it wouldn't last
They said you had too many lovers in your past
And foolishly I thought that I could mean much more to you
But I'm no better now
Now that we're worlds apart
Now as the teardrops start
Love's just a broken heart

You told me I was everything a love should be
I was your destiny
I was your reason to live
And you would give all of life's treasures to me

Now I can hear them laughing as they pass my way
They say "I told you so" there's nothing I can say
For they were right and I was wrong
They said so from the start

I lost the only love I knew when I lost you
Yes all too late I realised your words were lies
My dream of love is through
And I'm no better now
Now that we're worlds apart
Now as the teardrops start
Love's just a broken heart
Just one more broken heart

Love's In Our Hearts On Christmas Day
Composer(s): Gary Haase - James Lowell - John Werking
Performer(s): *NSync



Mmm oooo 
I know great distance still remains between us 
But there's good reason to hold on 
It's the happiest time of the year 
Filled with laughter and good cheer 
As you watch the snow 
Sweet love you'll hear me say 

You've got my heart on Christmas 
Inside my soul your love remains 
Love's in our hearts on Christmas day 
The days and weeks and months go by so slowly 
We are both wishing it would fly oh 
As the night begins to fall 
Twilight drowns the bedroom chill 
Such a rush of joy (rush of joy) 
And love, it comforts me 
And I do believe 

Love's in our hearts on Christmas 
Though far apart 
As one we pray 
Love's in our hearts on Christmas day 

A snowflake melts 
In your eye it turns to a tear 
But your cheek, it stays dry 
With your warm smile so near 
I have no fear 
We're gonna make it 
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo

Love's in our hearts on Christmas 
Though far apart 
As one we pray 
Love's in our hearts on Christmas day 

Love's in our hearts on Christmas 
Though far apart 
As one we pray 
Love's in our hearts on Christmas day 

Love's in our hearts on Christmas 
Though far apart 
As one we pray 
Love's in our hearts on Christmas day

Love's Been Good To Me
Composer(s): Rod McKuen
First release by: Rod McKuen - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



I have been a rover 
I have walked alone 
Hiked a hundred highways 
Never found a home 
Still in all I'm happy 
The reason is, you see 
Once in a while, along the way 
Love's been good to me

There was a girl in Denver 
Before the summer storm 
Oh, her eyes were tender 
Oh, her arms were warm 
And she could smile away the thunder 
Kiss away the rain 
Even though she's gone away 
You won't hear me complain 
I have been a rover

I have walked alone 
Hiked a hundred highways 
Never found a home 
Still in all I'm happy 
The reason is, you see 
Once in a while, along the way 
Love's been good to me

There was a girl in Portland 
Before the winter chill 
We used to go a-courtin' 
Along October hill 
And she could laugh away the dark clouds 
Cry away the snow 
It seems like only yesterday 
As down the road I go 

I've been a rover 
I have walked alone 
Hiked a hundred highways 
Never found a home 
Still in all I'm happy 
The reason is, you see 
Once in a while, along the way 
Love's been good to me

Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me
Performer(s): Juice Newton



I've got nothing to be ashamed of 
Love's been a little bit hard on me
If I shy away it's only because 
Love's been a little bit hard on me

Love's been a little
Oh love's been a little
Love's been a little bit hard on me
Love's been a little
Oh you know just been a little
Love's been a little bit hard on me

I can remember when it's been so much 
Love's been a little bit hard on me
I shy away at the slightest touch 
Love's been a little bit hard on me

Come out, come out
To the hopeless romantic inside
Shout it's all right, all right
To stay so dark 
So close to the light

I'll be back when I calm my fears
Love's been a little bit hard on me
See you around in a thousand years

Lovers Who Wander
Composer(s): Dion DiMucci - Ernie Maresca
Performer(s): Dion & The Belmonts



When she kissed me I was born and she said goodbye
And I knew right away I was born to cry
Now I'm happy and the joke's on her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander

She took my love, said she's not comin' back
So my world and my sky was all turnin' black
Now I see the light, I'm wise to her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander

A walkin' around thinkin' about her
Never thought I could live without her
She broke my heart, I really showed it
Look at me now, you'd never know it

Now my story can be told with a smiling face
I'm the luckiest guy in the human race
My dreams have gone for her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander

Wo wo wo yeah, she took my love you see
Yeah, she doesn't bother me
Yeah I found that place to be
Yeah, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yeah walkin' around thinkin' about her
I never thought I could live without her
She broke my heart, I really showed it
Look at me now, you'd never know it

Now my story can be told with a smiling face
I'm the luckiest guy in the human race
All my lovin' dreams have gone for her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander

Dum dum did it, dum dum did it ...

Please wait for me; for I shall return
My love for you will forever burn
Though we must part
There's no reason to cry
Just say so long
Because lovers never say goodbye

I love you
My darling more than life itself
I wouldn't try to hurt you
For I'd only be hurting my self

Just kiss me dear
And hold me tight
For you know this is not our last night
Though we must part
There's no reason to cry
Just say so long
Because lovers never say goodbye

Lover's Lullaby
Composer(s): Janis Ian
Performer(s): Janis Ian; The Walker Brothers



Lay down now and slumber
Mama's boy is torn asunder
All the fields have gone grey
All the leaves are gone brown 

Let me tell you a story
Lay down, I know you're weary
While the stars in the sky
While the moon's on the rise 

Lay down and don't you wake 'til morning
Close your eyes and helpless through the night
Lay down and dream of love and glory
This is a lover's lullaby 

Once was a magician
Fair he was, and handsome
And he brought to the table
all the fool's gold and wine 

Well he promised us three favors
Said he was a savior
We drank all his glory
and we borrowed all his time 

Lay down and don't you wake 'til morning
Close your eyes and helpless through the night
Lay down and dream of love and glory
This is a lover's lullaby 

Bye, my love - sleep tight my love
Softly fade away
The moon was made of old green cheese
To keep the night away 

Softly now, close your eyes
Lightly will you fade
The moon was made for wakeful boys
To keep the night away 

Lovers In New York
Composer(s): Ray Evans - Jay Livingston - Henry Mancini
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis; Marlene VerPlanck; Diane Hubka



Lovers in New York with such a lovely day in store
We'll explore New York big and grand, hand in hand
We'll begin our day smiling at April in the park 
Then we'll make our way round the town, up and down
At five we'll linger in a small café and bless the day we've spent
The Broadway lights will lead us to a show 
Then home we'll go content dear
Are there new delights hiding behind that old address
Undiscovered heights to possess
Lovers in New York say yes
Are there new delights hiding behind that old address
Undiscovered heights to possess
Lovers in New York say yes

Lovers In A Dangerous Time
Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn
First release by: Bruce Cockburn - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists



Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
You never get to stop and open your eyes
One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time

These fragile bodies of touch and taste
This vibrant skin -- this hair like lace
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
Never a breath you can afford to waste
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time

When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight 
Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
And we're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time

Lover's Cross
Composer(s): Jim Croce
First release by: Jim Croce - 1973



Guess that it was bound to happen
Was just a matter of time
But now I've come to my decision
And it's a-one of the painful kind
'Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr
Just a regular guy wouldn't do
But baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

You really got to hand it to ya
'Cause girl you really tried
But for every time that we spent laughin'
There were two times that I cried
And you were tryin' to make me your martyr
And that's the one thing I just couldn't do
'Cause baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

'Cause tables are meant for turnin'
And people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burnin'
When the people and memories they join aren't the same

Still I hope that you can find
Another who can take what I could not
He'll have to be a super guy
Or maybe a super god
'Cause I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain't bout to start nothin' new
And baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
